Hey, everyone. It's Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show.

Well, we've got a packed hour coming up for you today with all reactions to the town halls last night, and the latest on the state of the race.

Can we trust the polls? But first, want to talk to you about Superbeats soft shoes. They are delicious, and if you haven't had them, you're missing out.

I love these things. Superbeats soft shoes make you feel more energized, and they don't give you that jittery feeling of having too much coffee or too much tea.

So you'll love them. And their package is really conveniently. You can just throw them in your bag before you head to work.

I have them whenever I'm out, and it's super easy. Take two a day. Superbeats soft shoes combine non GMO beats with a powerful, new, ingredient grape seed extract.

That's what's so good. And it also has been clinically shown to be two times as effective at supporting normal blood pressure as just a healthy lifestyle alone.

Better blood pressure brings all good things, better energy, and so on.

So now just take two of these delicious shoes a day, anytime, anywhere to get the blood pressure support you need and the energy you want.

And do what I did. Support your heart health with delicious Superbeats shoes. Get your Superbeats shoes today at get superbeats.com slash mk.

You're going to love them. Okay, and now I want to bring in Mark Tiesen resident fellow at AEI and co host of AEI's podcast.

What the hell is going on, which is a great name for a podcast. Mark, it's so good to talk to you. Thank you for being here.

Oh, it's so great to be back on the air with you, Megan.

Oh, honestly, Mark and I had a lot of good times on the Kelly file and even before and he was always super smart with his little clipboard and became a television star.

We all the other in the Kelly file that everyone tried to steal him from me and I was like, back off, he's mine.

Okay, so great to have you back again. Let's talk first of all about what we saw last night, the dueling town halls. What are your reactions to what we witnessed?

Well, first of all, the fact that we had dueling town halls is a debacle. You know, the commission of presidential debates has not exactly clothed itself in quality this time around.

The reason we have this is because they went in and you to laterally decided that we were going to have we were going to have a virtual debate, which of course Donald Trump doesn't want to have a virtual debate because they're going to cut them off.

You know, they're going to they're going to they're going to put too much control in the hands of the moderator and it wasn't necessary.
