0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.2	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. How are you feeling this morning?
0:17.1	Like shit? Yeah, I can relate. Last night was a total and complete disaster. I realized these were blue states. I don't care. The margins are so large and Republicans lost across the board everywhere in every race. There's really no good news. Literally the only good news is how
0:40.8	radical the Democrats are and how Mom Donnie will now be the poster child for every Republican
0:46.9	to use against his opponent. I mean, they'll all have to explain where they stand on Mom
0:53.4	Donnie as he wrecks New York.
0:55.2	But the Republican Party needs to get its shit together.
0:59.9	ASAP.
1:02.8	I'm really glad we spent the past couple of weeks, as Sean Davis of the Federalist put it, policing some young person's group chat, what a podcast host said,

1:52.0	They don't know who to run. They don't know what to do when he's not, when daddy's not there,
1:56.4	to fly them across the finish line. And that's just been so obvious. Meanwhile, Trump is all over the
2:02.3	Middle East while people's groceries bills are still high. They're still dealing with inflation.
2:07.6	They're suffering. Like, that's it. Okay. We're focus on domestic policy and on making people's
2:14.5	lives better. That's really all I have to say. Those are my top line thoughts. There's a lot to get into on
2:22.0	why this happened and so on, but that's my top line takeaway. That and the matter of,
2:28.1	you know, an immigrant invasion that is now given us a radical Muslim running the greatest
