Summary

Megyn Kelly discusses the curious new report about Cuba having 300 drones and why that's BS "pretext" to potential military action by the U.S., why Cuba is not going to attack America and why that idea is insulting to the American people, misleading reporting and collusion between the corporate media and our government, and more. Then Ryan Grim, co-host of "Breaking Points," and Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative, join to discuss what it really means for America to "take" Cuba, why America can get what it wants in Cuba without military action, and more. Then Mark Halperin, host of "Next Up," joins to discuss why Senator Bill Cassidy lost his primary, why Trump's influence is still so strong within the GOP, the possibility of Thomas Massie losing his primary tomorrow, the crucial demographic of the white working class President Trump is losing now, why it could seriously hurt the GOP in future elections, whether the GOP is heading for a loss of both the Senate and House in November, why Spencer Pratt could actually win the Los Angeles mayor race, his dominant ads and social media game, and more. Then Jonathan Alpert, author of "Therapy Nation," joins to discuss how modern therapy culture is causing more mental health struggles in society, why mental health is being used to excuse personal behavior, the rise of self-diagnosis, why “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is actually a real disorder, leftists needing to see therapists after Trump won the presidential race, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.2	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, and happy Monday. It's been a busy spring for politics with far more contested primaries than in a usual cycle.
0:22.6	Both parties undergoing intra-party battles as they try to position themselves ahead of the midterms
0:27.8	and the 28 presidential election. Mark Halperin of Next Up will be here later to help us make sense
0:34.3	of what is breaking over the weekend. You might say he's next up. But first, we need to tell you about a story that's not getting enough attention today,
0:40.9	and that is America's possible military action against Cuba.
0:45.7	Yes, just when you were getting tired of hearing about Iran, enter Cuba,
0:50.6	to possibly take center stage in our foreign excursions.
0:55.0	We told you about it in AM update this morning, but for those who did not get a chance to listen or would like a more full discussion, a story by Axios over the weekend really caught our eye.
1:05.4	The headline reads exclusive U.S. I's attack drone threat from Cuba, a threat from Cuba, which is basically
1:18.7	completely imploding and not in a position to threaten anybody. But this is what they're
1:24.8	going with. The story says the reporter got exclusive access to U.S. intelligence, indicating Cuba has obtained more than 300 military drones.
1:36.8	300 military drones.
1:38.6	It goes on to say that leaders of the island nation have had discussions about attacking the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay,
1:45.1	U.S. military vessels, and maybe even Key West Florida.
1:49.3	Yes, while they night after night cannot even keep the lights on or the ICU units in their hospitals
1:58.3	powered, literally losing power on their ventilators of babies,
2:03.7	they're thinking about bombing us. That's what Axios wants you to believe. And I'm not blaming
2:09.1	just Axios. It's our government, clearly leaking to Axios. Axios time and time again
2:14.2	has come out with exclusives from the U.S. government letting us know that the Iran war is about to settle.
2:22.2	It's over. They've basically reached a deal. It's being papered now. We're about to get great news.
2:28.6	Did it happen? I was at a tennis tournament all weekend. Did we settle the Iran more? I feel like we didn't.
