Summary

Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing her experience with her kids at Charlie Kirk’s incredible memorial service, and how it united people and drew them closer to God. Then The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles, host of "The Michael Knowles Show," joins to discuss the faith-focused memorial, Erika Kirk’s incredible strength and forgiveness, the cultural shift to the right, the radical left’s response to the memorial event and remarks by Trump and Stephen Miller, their demand that the right call for unity despite the violence we're seeing done for leftist causes, and more. Then Megyn discusses gaslighting from the left, the corporate media’s role in fueling political violence, attempts by some in the media to make this moment about themselves, Matthew Dowd’s self-centered comments complaining about the fact that non one's talking about his MSNBC firing, Katie Couric bizarrely critiquing the network, Van Jones speaking out about his final private exchange with Charlie Kirk, his original false smear of Kirk claiming he was being racist, Megyn's own history with Van and why he's a coward about what he says publicly vs. privately, 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. Back home today after attending
0:16.9	Charlie Kirk's magnificent memorial service yesterday, an event too big for an NFL football stadium with some 200,000 people making their way to Arizona yesterday to honor Charlie's life and legacy. The nation's top political leaders, I mean, it was incredible. It was like a state funeral from President Trump to Vice President
0:37.5	J.D. Van, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War, Pete Hegsef, the DNI, Tulsi Gabbard,
0:43.8	Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy. You had Stephen Miller, Sergio Gore,
0:52.0	Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff., like Elon Musk was in attendance. He was
0:56.3	steps away from me on the floor. Everybody. I mean, just like, it was incredible. It was
1:03.3	incredible. That's how much of a mark Charlie made, not just on our country, but on our
1:08.6	government in particular, at age 31. Ask yourself

1:17.3	I was still practicing law. I mean, it's amazing to me the amount that he accomplished in his
1:23.3	31 years, really from 18 to 31. Charlie worked nonstop and it was a labor of love.

1:42.4	about saving this country. That's why it was
1:46.4	his life's work that brought him into the circles of power. And it was great to hear some of the
1:53.0	stories of people who, when he was starting turning point and he needed that first 50,000 bucks
1:58.3	to get things going, how he went to this one potential donor and
2:02.9	pitched her and she said, come back when you have the first half. And two days later, he called.
2:07.1	He had found it. He's 18. I mean, truly, if somebody, and Charlie didn't have any connections,
2:11.4	he didn't come from a wealthy family. If somebody said to you at 18, see if you can go get,
