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

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. I'm back after a trip to Virginia Tech, where I had the honor of speaking to a packed crowd of students there

as part of turning points ongoing campus tour. I was supposed to be there with Charlie,

and his absence was felt acutely. It was one of those things, like, after he was killed,

I had no idea whether they would go forward with the campus tour. I assumed that they wouldn't. And when Erica announced 48 hours after Charlie died that they were not stopping one thing, I stood up and cheered. I know I didn't, I hadn't even considered that they would keep it rolling. And I was so inspired by her. And of course,

there was no hesitation to go forward with it. But I said to the students there last night,

it was an act of courage of them to show up because these are kids on campus who are young.

And unfortunately, that's where this violence took place on a college campus.

And there are too many people that age who are turning dangerous these days.

And so for them to show up in an environment where they know it's politically charged

and where someone was assassinated two weeks beforehand at an event that has his organization's name on it and that this one did too is

an act of courage by these students. And yet, can I show you, let me show you the line. I'm just

going to show you the line to get in. Let's roll the tape. The listening audience, it goes on and on

and on. I mean, just like, it's endless. There were definitely thousands of people there last night. I don't know what the total headcount was, but the auditorium was jam-packed. It was standing room only. I went and I got to spend time with Governor Glenn Yonkin of Virginia beforehand, behind the scenes. What a charming man. What a great guy. God, he's got a

very bright political future if he ever wants to seek national office. He's going to have to go

after JD. But after that, he would be amazing. He led us here backstage in prayer before we went out.

And his words really meant something to me. They actually made me feel a lot better.

Anyway, thank you to all the students who were there. We'll get to what happened while I was there in a

minute. But thank you to all those who showed up. You know, they said at Charlie's funeral that Charlie used

to say, courage is actually easy. All you have to do is say yes. Just say yes and then do the

thing. And that's what they did. So I'm honored that they turned out. I'm honored that

Turning Point went forward with it and wanted me to appear. And I spoke with Erica about it via text
