MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2026
Tonight’s lineup swings from a royal-family memoir bombshell to fresh FBI documents on both Trump assassination attempts, a Senate hopeful’s story of poverty and faith, and a Texas plumber’s truck turning up in the strangest place imaginable — ten of the biggest conservative shows from the past few days, boiled down to what you need to know.
The Megyn Kelly Show — “Ep. 1401 — Bombshells From Diana’s Brother, Oprah’s USELESS Advice, and Lena Dunham’s Baby, w/ Maureen Callahan”
Megyn Kelly sat down with journalist Maureen Callahan to dig into Earl Spencer’s new memoir about his sister Princess Diana, including a disputed claim about Prince Charles’s reaction to her death, and to speculate about Diana’s mental health. The conversation also drifted into Harry and Meghan’s declining approval numbers, Oprah’s latest media appearance, and Lena Dunham’s plans to become a mother via surrogate.
Earl Spencer’s new memoir reportedly claims Prince Charles said the family would “forget her soon enough” right after Diana’s death
Callahan argues Spencer’s retelling of that anecdote has shifted across interviews, questioning his reliability

Harry and Meghan’s low approval numbers (Harry ~30%, Meghan ~17%) and their kids’ abrupt school withdrawal are framed as a security-funding stunt
Oprah’s recent appearance on Mel Robbins’ show is criticized as vague self-help platitudes
The Michael Knowles Show — “ISIS Run, Hide, and FAIL: Michael Knowles REACTS Viral Clips”
Michael Knowles departs from his usual news commentary for a lighter, meme-driven reaction episode, working through viral clips of ISIS and other jihadist fighters failing in combat and ambush situations. He frames the segment as more entertaining than routine war footage and highlights some of the odder details that surface in the clips.

Matt Walsh revisits the July 2024 Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA, working through newly disclosed FBI details that he argues raise more questions than they answer. He frames the security failures as more consistent with deliberate negligence than simple incompetence.

The Andrew Klavan Show — “Ep. 1296 — Dumb, Dumber and the Media”
Andrew Klavan argues conservative media has moved from being censored to mainstream — a shift he jokingly dubs “the Shapiro effect” — crediting the Daily Wire, Trump’s political rise, and Elon Musk’s X takeover. He also pushes back on AI-doom predictions and closes with a listener theology question.
