0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.
0:07.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, coming to you live from
0:16.1	Sirius XM in New York City today. Looking forward to a great in-person discussion today
0:22.3	with outspoken fitness guru Jillian Michaels. I've never met her. Looking forward to
0:27.0	talking about all things fitness related, including OZEMPIC when she joins me in a little bit.
0:32.9	I'm saying the magic buzzwords. Everybody wants to hear about that drug. But first, Ron
0:38.2	DeSantis launched his presidential campaign last night in what the kids might call an
0:43.2	epic fail. It was embarrassing and awkward and had the bewildering, unsteadying feel of
0:50.3	a disaster unfolding before your very eyes. You can't look away and yet you're viscerally
0:55.4	uncomfortable watching it too. He made the announcement on Twitter spaces with Elon Musk

1:32.1	spaces, including journalists like me, only to be met with messages like, this space
1:38.6	is not available and this space has ended all before it had even begun. Not a good
1:45.6	domain and certainly not the messaging a campaign wants unlaunched night not available. This
1:51.5	is over. It was indeed a failure to launch and it is dominating the news coverage today,
1:58.2	the result of an unnecessary, unforced error on DeSantis's part. Almost as bad was when
2:05.8	you did enter the space, but got the weird elevator music only to then be kicked off.
2:11.0	Never thought I would be subjected to music when turning in for a presidential announcement
