DeepSummary
The podcast episode discusses the controversy surrounding Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz's military service record. There are allegations that Walz abandoned his troops when his unit was deploying to Iraq, as well as claims of stolen valor regarding his misrepresenting his role in Operation Enduring Freedom. The episode examines Walz's statements and actions around the time of his retirement from the National Guard.
Megyn Kelly also talks with Andrew Klavan about how the media is portraying Kamala Harris as joyful and moderate, despite her past far-left positions. They discuss Harris's refusal to do interviews or press conferences, and the misleading editing of a phone call to make it seem like Trump approved of Walz's handling of the Minneapolis riots after George Floyd's death.
The episode also covers the issue of male athletes competing and medaling in women's boxing at the Olympics due to having disorders of sexual development (DSDs). Kelly and Klavan criticize the media's framing of the situation and argue that these athletes have biological male advantages despite being classified as women by the IOC.

Top Episodes Quotes
“It really is. You know, I've said for a long time, men are always saying there's a war against men or war against masculinity. We're being called toxic. Everything we do is toxic. But I really think that the war is against women.“ by Andrew Klavan
― This provocative quote from Klavan suggests that the real target is undermining women and traditional gender roles, not just attacking masculinity.“It's terrible to have the Olympic committee essentially say that it's all right for a man to punch a woman. You know, I mean, I've been trying. You know, I've been with my wife for 50 years. I love her to death. I've been treating her with respect and kindness. Now, I can explain to her that the Olympic Committee says, all I have to do is clock, and that's fine.“ by Andrew Klavan
― This sardonic quote powerfully conveys Klavan's perspective on the absurdity and danger of allowing biological males to compete against women in combat sports.
