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 and happy Friday. We have a first time guest coming up who has a fascinating career, both in journalism and
0:21.1	catching predators.
0:22.8	We'll get to that in a minute.
0:23.9	But first, there have been significant developments in the death of 18-year-old Nolan
0:28.9	Wells in Mississippi and the investigation into it.
0:32.1	The young man who says he's Wells's best friend, providing new insight into why Wells stayed on the island

1:57.2	representing the families of George Floyd, Floyd, Biona Taylor, and Jacob Blake.
2:02.6	Crump's legal team was quick to exploit the situation, injecting race into it, even though
2:08.0	Nolan Wells was a black boy and had a bunch of white friends, all of whom seemed to love him
2:13.7	very much. They've all been tard as racists. Why? We're not sure other than they had
