Summary

Megyn Kelly, journalist & Host of The Megyn Kelly Show, makes her return to the morning show to discuss backlash she's received in recent months for her content, saying she has no need to defend herself and that public figures routinely face “hit” accusations. Sid and Megyn discuss Kelly’s recent show growth and then a story she covered involving Savannah Guthrie’s book describing a childhood “kidnapping game,” recent reporting that someone searched for Nancy Guthrie’s address and house image on a date police requested camera footage, and a Today Show segment featuring the family—details they say could support a theory of a stalker or obsessed fan/hater. The conversation shifts to the Epstein files: both say they want anyone guilty of abusing minors jailed, but Kelly says she is interested rather than consumed, and after reviewing reporting and team analysis she sees a disturbing culture of wealthy, powerful men exploiting young women and looking the other way after Epstein’s conviction. Kelly criticizes bipartisan hypocrisy and highlights Howard Lutnick as an example, alleging he misrepresented his past interactions with Epstein despite later visiting Epstein’s island and doing business with him.
