Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by John Solomon, founder of "Just The News," to discuss new documents revealing classified info leaks between former FBI Director James Comey and the New York Times, why the previous DOJ refused to bring charges, what we know about the intermediary between Comey and the media, what we know about how the FBI spun the media, the New York Times and Washington Post winning Pulitzers for false Russiagate reporting, and more. Then Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review join to discuss how Trump’s push to make DC safer is enraging the left, Judge Jeanine Pirro’s fiery response to the claims that crime is down, MSNBC’s Symone Sanders arguing that more police makes black people feel less safe, how the left is fighting Trump by keeping homeless people on the streets, handing out “help” whistles as resistance to a “fascist” regime, how Monica Lewinsky is comparing her past paparazzi experience to illegal migrants and “feeling hunted,” how she continues to focus on her past experience at the White House in everything she talks about, the left's nonstop victimhood, and more. Then Steve Hilton, candidate for California governor, joins to discuss how Gavin Newsom destroyed the state, Newsom's focus on himself over helping the people, the ongoing homeless problem, how the hundreds of millions raised after the wildfires haven't gone to help the residents, the hope for a return to normalcy in California, 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. We've got new reporting today on the intelligence leaks aimed at undermining President Trump before and during his first term in office and the complete lack of care, or so it would seem, by the intelligence community.
0:27.1	Yesterday, we began the show with just the news is John Solomon.
0:31.5	Today, we're going to do the same as he's got yet another big piece on his website this morning. This one involves newly
0:39.8	declassified intelligence from FBI director Cash Patel that squarely points the finger at
0:46.0	former FBI director James Comey. Both men in the same job, one fully transparent, one quite the
0:53.9	opposite.
0:55.3	I mean, Comey wanted a message out there, that's for sure.
0:59.0	He did want to communicate with the press.
1:01.1	He just wanted to do it behind the scenes and with classified information and through intermediaries,
1:06.4	so his fingerprints weren't on it, as opposed to Cash Patel, who just calls up random reporters
1:10.4	and says, here, take this, or has a Cash Patel, who just calls up random reporters and says,
1:11.2	here, take this, or has a press conference saying, here, look at everything.
1:15.9	This latest piece is about how James Comey, while the FBI director, used a friend at Columbia
1:22.0	University to help craft his image, his image, as he pushed out false misleading and classified information.
1:32.7	It appears the intermediary says he can't be sure. He doesn't think he, he doesn't think he
1:38.3	passed on class of information, but it certainly appears he did to the New York Times.
1:44.0	And in particular to the reporter over there, Michael Schmidt, who went on to win Pulitzer
1:48.2	prizes for his Russiagate reporting.
1:51.9	And while some of this was known before, we are now filling in some major details on exactly
1:56.1	how this shit went down.
1:59.1	Joining me here to break it down.
