Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Mark Halperin, host of "Next Up with Mark Halperin," to discuss the launch of his new MK Media show next week, what to expect from the show, Megyn's experience attending the Time 100 gala, how she was one of the only conservatives at the event, the "scam" of the "influential" list, calling out Blake Lively and George Clooney on the red carpet, the smug journalists celebrating themselves at this weekend's White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the event's diminishing value under a Trump presidency, the hypocrisy of media coverage of Trump compared to other presidents, his accurate prediction that Trump could win the 2016 election that was mocked by his own network MSNBC, the condescending backlash he received from his colleagues, how he saw Trump as a political force even back in 2011, Trump's influential "Board of Directors," why JD Vance is a massively powerful VP, the recent polling declines for both Trump and the Democrats, the strong support Trump still has on his border policy, why the Democrats are losing ground with both moderates and progressives, which Democratic candidates have a chance in 2028, the media’s complicity in covering up Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, Elizabeth Warren’s weak defense of his mental acuity, the collusion between media and Dems, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:11.8	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. It's Friday, and we have a great mix of political news and Hollywood gossip, some of it involving yours truly.
0:23.0	We also wanted to let you know that we are soon going to be dropping an exclusive interview with Colin Carroll.
0:28.6	He is one of those Pentagon officials fired last week, reportedly over a leaks investigation.
0:35.8	But was it actually something else? He will tell his story in full
0:39.7	right here, and we will drop it for you just a bit later. He hasn't spoken out yet publicly,
0:47.3	so this will be the first you'll hear from him, and I think you're going to find his
0:50.4	testimonial very compelling. But first, last night, I did go to the time 100. You remember
0:57.6	yesterday I was still a little bit on the fence. Do I go? Do I not go? I don't totally believe in
1:03.6	these big, you know, red carpet gala. I've been to very, very many of these. And I don't know. I just had mixed feelings about it.
1:15.0	It's very self-congratulatory, right? To go to something like that. And it's also not true.
1:22.1	You know, I said this last night, without due respect to time, I don't think they really do
1:26.3	pick the most influential
1:27.6	people in the country. You know, I think it's really like a PR event for time. And that's fine.
1:33.2	You know, I don't want to be ungrateful. I mean, I appreciate being named again, but it's,
1:38.0	I have to be honest, these things, they're very navel-gazy. And it's, I don't know. Can I tell you, I looked around last night,
1:45.6	there was not one other conservative in the room. Not one. Not one. You'd find like the occasional
1:52.4	civilian who'd come over and be like, hey, I'm one of your kind. But like, not as soon. Now,
1:58.3	they did name some. Like J.D. Vance was named and some other people you know, were named as Joe Rogan. I mean, he's not conservative, but, you know, he voted for Trump. Anyway, they weren't there. But, I mean, of the 100, I'd say about six or seven, weaned right. It's just the way it is. It's the way it is in media. It's the way it is in New York. And so it's just, you know, the things are awkward. Plus, let's face it. What do we do on this show? But criticize the media left and right and up and down all day every day. And half of them were there. So that's awkward. It's awkward. All right, we're going to get into all the stories in just a minute. And along for this ride with me today is Mark Halpern. Mark is editor-in-chief and host of Two-Way on YouTube. And now starting next week, he's the host of a brand new show on the MK Media Network. It's called Next Up with Mark Halprin. It launches on Tuesday,
2:54.0	okay, this coming Tuesday. So go ahead and subscribe now, wherever you get your podcasts,
2:59.6	okay, for free at Next Up, Halperin, all right? Just Google that or search that in your
3:05.0	podcast search bar or in your YouTube search bar. Next up,
