Megyn Kelly cited recent polling suggesting that President Trump is "underwater" with men, young people, and the working class due to his focus on the Iran war.

Kelly argued that these positions have alienated the "unshakeable foundation" of voters that previously supported him.

A daycare worker in Mississippi was fired after videos surfaced showing her wearing a "Scream" mask to intentionally terrify two and three-year-old children.

A new study reveals that 25% of American children are not fully vaccinated, often due to scheduling issues rather than parental objection.

A listener in Pennsylvania reports that local doggy daycares are now requiring a canine flu vaccine, despite the manufacturer's admission that it does not prevent dogs from contracting the virus.
