The gauntlet was thrown down Tuesday as Megyn Kelly dared a daytime talk show to host slain high schooler Austin Metcalf\u2019s father if they \u201chave any heart or spine whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

This month, Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the April 2025 murder of 17-year-old Metcalf at a school track meet in Frisco, Texas. National coverage invoked race-related talking points, including from ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d co-host Sunny Hostin, prompting Kelly to challenge the fellow attorney and her \u201cwillful misinformation\u201d to face the victim\u2019s father directly.<\/p>\n

At the onset of her SiriusXM program, \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show,\u201d the host shared a series of clips from Monday\u2019s installment of \u201cThe View\u201d as well as a reaction from Jeff Metcalf during his own appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Will Cain Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the father\u2019s own insistence that the ladies invited him to their table, Kelly reacted, \u201cOh, do it. I dare you. Do it. If those women of \u2018The View\u2019 have any spine whatsoever, they\u2019ll do it. They\u2019ll take him out. This is a grieving dad of an actual murder victim at 17 years old, and he\u2019s offering to come on your show and talk truth about what happened in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo it if you have any heart or spine whatsoever,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

As had been reported<\/a>, Will Cain spared Metcalf from having to watch a clip of Hostin, who\u2019d shared her beliefs that Anthony had acted in self-defense and that the trial had not included a jury of the murderer\u2019s peers because it did not have black members.<\/p>\n

In response, the father accused those making claims about the case and his family of trying to \u201cmonetize the death\u201d of his son. Metcalf said of Hostin, \u201cShe is completely wrong, and if they want to take me in, call me, ask me to be on \u2018The View\u2019 with them, I would gladly. Fly me up there and let me talk to all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dare wasn\u2019t all Kelly had to say about the former federal prosecutor, as she also accused Hostin of spouting \u201cwillful misinformation on her part, meant to push a racial agenda that she has that ABC has been allowing for far too long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

While shared clips of Hostin\u2019s comments on \u201cThe View\u201d were hit with numerous fact checks, Kelly also offered her own as she responded directly to the claim that Anthony would somehow have a case for an appeal based on the fact that the jury did not include black members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but that is a blatant misstatement of the law,\u201d she told her SiriusXM audience. \u201cAs [Hostin] knows, the Supreme Court has specifically held that you have no right to have individuals of your same race on your jury. That\u2019s black letter law now. She knows that. Why is she doing this? Why is she saying that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n
