Summary

Megyn Kelly begins the show by talking about the outrageous Jezebel article describing how they placed a curse on Charlie Kirk published days before his assassination, what Erika Kirk personally told her about how she was shaken by it, and more. Then Mark Halperin, host of "Next Up with Mark Halperin," joins to talk about the vile leftist commentary about Charlie Kirk we're still seeing, the effect of the left ignoring the truth about how MAGA supporters haven't been violent, Jimmy Kimmel’s return to ABC after a brief suspension, some affiliate groups holding strong and refusing to air the show still, why conservatives are pushing for corporate media punishment over Jimmy Kimmel, Kamala Harris beginning her book tour on Maddow, her rambling incoherently about joy and optimism, Democrats like Pete Buttigieg and Josh Shapiro attacking her, Kamala's embarrassing interview on "The View," her nonstop focus on America's supposed racism and sexism, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
0:12.1	Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. There is big news breaking right now around the Jimmy Kimmel saga. We've had both Sinclair and Nextar, who own one third of the
0:26.0	TV affiliates in this country airing ABC, have both now said, we don't really care that Disney
0:33.5	wants to put him back on the air. We're in charge of our affiliate programming, and we're not airing him.
0:38.9	So it's just gotten very interesting, and that is where we're going to kick it off in about, well, just a few minutes with Mark Halpern, who's standing by.
0:47.5	But first, I have a sort of out-of-left-field story to bring to you, And then I want to start with it. I've been
0:56.2	wrestling with whether to bring you this story for a few days now. I've been wrestling because I find
1:01.2	it so vile and off and odd. I wasn't even sure where to go with it. But I decided that I had to do
1:09.7	it because the groups who did this
1:11.9	deserve public censure. I learned when I was out in Arizona last week that two weeks

1:33.1	They wanted to hurt him in some way.
1:35.9	They declared, quote, if the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent
1:40.9	women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.
1:45.9	And they went on to the website Etsy, yes, Etsy, to quote, cast a curse on him. Yes, this is
1:52.2	actually a thing. Etsy, the website known for making arts and crafts on demand will happily
1:58.4	cast a hex through its witches, who you can hire, on someone if you ask
2:04.0	them to. The Jezebel crew was delighted to discover, quote, it's not uncommon for the so-called
2:10.6	witches on Etsy to channel their energy toward thwarting Republicans. There's even a subreddit
2:16.7	devoted to casting nightly hexes on Trump.
2:20.7	Jezebel decided Charlie Kirk, who they repeatedly described as far right, the founder of the
2:26.8	right-wing conspiracy theory factory, Turning Point USA, is, quote, more irritating than most,
