Megyn Kelly is joined by political commentators Ana Kasparian and Kevin Madden to discuss Joe Biden mumbling his way through a quick and dark farewell address, his bizarre and hypocritical attacks on billionaires and oligarchs, his cheerleading for tech censorship, Mark Zuckerberg’s sudden embrace of “free speech" as he shifts toward a MAGA-friendly approach, the death of Facebook’s news feed, the cultural shift on display in Zuckerberg's interview public discourse since Trump’s rise, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi’s cool confidence while being grilled by Senate Dems, rude male Democratic senators, the hysterical response from some female Democratic senators, Jill Biden’s cringe Washington Post puff piece interview, her power hungry ambitions, her "mean girl" act attacking Nancy Pelosi, and more. Then commentators Amala Ekpunobi and Link Lauren join to discuss the left meltdown over Carrie Underwood’s decision to perform at Trump’s inauguration, the ladies of The View mad about her normalizing Trump, Harry and Meghan’s “disaster tourism," new details emerging about Mayor Karen Bass partying in Ghana while Los Angeles was on fire, say goodbye to Karine Jean-Pierre as press secretary, RFK and the shifting culture around health and wellness, and more.

Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

0:12.0

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. More of President-elect Donald Trump's top cabinet nominees are on Capitol Hill today. After Attorney General

0:21.0

nominee Pam Bondi's dominating performance yesterday, she crushed it. We will bring you more

0:26.6

of those highlights. They really are highlights. It's like these nominees are changing the game

0:31.3

on how this whole thing is done. There's no genuflecting. There's no kissing of the ring.

0:37.4

These Democrat senators,

0:38.6

they don't need their votes. They don't go in there trying to be rude or looking for a fight,

0:45.3

but if you're going to treat them like shit, which is clearly what's happening, they're going to

0:49.6

fight back. They're going to stand their ground. And I am loving it. It comes as President Joe Biden bid farewell to the White House,

0:58.2

finally, and his 50-year political career from the Oval Office by talking about his huge account,

1:04.9

Jean-Pierre, you'll be shocked to learn, had absolutely no reasons for why. Just a bunch of mumbling

1:40.9

muck produced by her on why he won't actually answer to the rest of us.

1:45.9

Why won't he speak to us and our representatives, which, like it or not, are the American media.

1:51.5

Joining me now on those stories and more, two first-time guests on the show.

1:55.0

Well, are they? I know Anna is. Anna is a host and producer of the Young Turks,

1:59.8

who's been making headlines for calling out her own side recently.

2:02.9

And Kevin Madden, I guess Kevin, it's your first on this program, but you've been on my shows many times.
