0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
0:12.2	Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. We're about to be joined by one of Charlie Kirk's closest friends, Donald Trump Jr. for Don's first interview since Charlie's
0:22.0	passing yesterday. Later in the show, Tucker Carlson will be here, and so will Benny Johnson,

1:31.2	proclaim that they are. Doesn't mean they're all murderous, but there's a particularly high
1:37.7	percentage committing crimes these days. And it is responsible and important to say so, which is what Charlie was doing.
1:50.3	The thought that this was a person acting to avenge some sort of trans person or objecting to Charlie's stance on the trans issue
2:02.8	is entirely chilling to me. Because when Charlie and I first became friends, this was an issue
2:10.3	he wasn't even talking about that much, but he was seeing, was resonating with some on the right
