Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for open, honest and provocative conversations.

Hey everyone on Megan Kelly, welcome to the Megan Kelly Show.

Today I am joined by someone who reached the pinnacle of politics, only to see his world

come crashing down when then Senator Barack Obama became president.

I am speaking about former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevic.

His journey is fascinating and a cautionary tale of power and corruption of wheeling and

dealing that ultimately landed him behind bars.

In part, thanks to hundreds of hours of audio from FBI wiretaps that were some would say

golden.

Two years ago he was released early from federal prison.

His sentence commuted by then president Trump who had hosted the celebrity apprentice

before he became president on which Rod Blagojevic had been a contestant after he'd been impeached.

And while he was in the midst of criminal trouble, but before he went off to prison, we're

going to ask him about all of this and get his very interesting take on the current state

of the Democratic Party.

And on what he learned in prison, Rod Blagojevic, welcome to the show.

Thanks for being here.

Hi Megan.

Thanks for having me.

Oh, it's a pleasure.

I watched the ABC special on you that it's on Hulu now.

Blago.
