Summary

Megyn Kelly opens the show by discussing the breaking news that Don Lemon has been arrested over violating the Klan Act and FACE Act, why claiming to be a journalist offers no legal protection for what he did in side the church, the evidence showing Don Lemon was an active participant in the church disruption, the footage of him talking about what was going to happen before it did, and more. Then Mike Davis, founder of Article III Project, and Bill Shipley, author of "Shipwreckedcrew's Port-O-Call" on Substack, join to discuss why Don Lemon has no First Amendment defense after his arrest, the media's false spin about the charges, what to expect from a Minnesota indictment, and more. Then Michael Knowles, host of "The Michael Knowles Show," joins to discuss why Don Lemon’s arrest means he's in the "find out" phase of his career, his absurd statements and the strange defenses of his contemptible actions, Lemon and other agitators claiming their arrests were racially motivated, one of the organizers' ridiculous comments about her brief time in prison, and more. Then Howard Blum, author of "When The Night Comes Falling," to discuss the disturbing new crime scene photos from the Bryan Kohberger Idaho case, questions about unidentified DNA, why the photos raise questions about whether Kohberger may not have acted alone, whether Kohberger himself was the actual accomplice, and more.

Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. We woke up this Friday morning to some breaking news.

0:18.7

Don Lemon, the former CNN host who now makes a fool of himself

0:22.1

on his bizarre YouTube channel, has been arrested by the feds for his role in the now infamous

0:27.3

agitator-led ICE protest at City's Church in St. Paul, Minnesota during Sunday service on January

0:34.7

18th. According to reports, he's been charged with two federal crimes,

0:39.4

conspiracy against rights, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, a felony. That's where you violate

0:45.9

somebody else's civil rights like that to attend a worship service. And he's been charged also

ability to go to church, he's in trouble. And that's what they're alleging,

1:30.5

that he and others went into that church. They obstructed the aisles. They obstructed the entrances,

1:36.0

the exits, the ability of parents to get downstairs to get their children who are in the preschool

1:40.5

sort of waiting area, that you put your kids a Sunday school while you're at the

1:45.4

main church, and that they did it knowing that they'd be interfering in the mass and still

1:51.7

doing it anyway. That's what they did. Don Lemon knew what he was walking into. He knew exactly
