Summary

President Donald Trump has been arrested, arraigned, and we've seen the indictment. And what did we find? Megyn Kelly explains how weak the case is against former President Trump, before welcoming in legal experts Arthur Aidala, Dave Aronberg, and Brad Smith to talk about whether the whole case will get dismissed, the need to know what the underlying felony is, if a campaign finance violation is even applicable, whether the hush money payment could be proven to be trying to influence the election, the media circus inside and outside the courtroom, whether Michael Cohen could conceivably testify, Trump's comments about the judge and DA, and more. Then Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida joins to talk about James Comey and the media's glee about the arrest, Trump vs. Desantis, hypocrisy comparing treatment of Hillary Clinton and Trump, President Biden smirking rather than commenting on the indictment, the Trump DOJ not going after Hillary Clinton politically, how Trump will use this prosecution to his political advantage, and more.

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

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. What a day yesterday.

0:17.6

What a sad day for America. James Comey, once again tweeting out, another good day. What

0:25.1

a small petty man working at his own vindictiveness on the nation on our conscience as we watch this

0:33.7

spectacle unfold that's bad for the country. I think it's good for Trump politically. It's

0:38.7

not good for Trump as a human and it's certainly not good for America. James Comey all about

0:44.3

him to the end. What a sad, sad ending for that man. I used to respect him. He's not the

0:50.3

story. 34 felony counts. That's what we've seen. A lot of prosecutors, I respect, recoiling with

0:57.3

what Alvin Bragg, the New York DA did there, which is called stacking. He doesn't really have 34

1:02.6

crimes. He has one alleged action that he's piecemealed out into 34 felony counts because on this

1:08.5

date, an entry was made in the books and on this date an entry was made in the books. And he's

1:12.7

trying to make Trump look like a multiple time felon when really he's got one course of conduct

1:18.5

that he claims is illegal. And we've got a great legal panel to get into that in one minute. But

1:23.7

I'm going to set you up with the facts. I've listened to show after show and I probably love the

1:29.9

same ones you do jumping right at what BS this whole thing is. Well, let's talk about what he actually

1:35.2

revealed, okay? Because it's worthwhile to see what does Alvin Bragg say his case is about. It's

1:41.7

yes, the Stormy Daniels thing. There's more to it. But let's look at what he says so far. His

1:46.3

evidence is. And then we'll talk with the lawyers about whether the law makes anything out of

1:51.7

those facts whether the law has any problem with those facts. He's alleging as we expected the

1:57.1

falsification of business records by Trump in the first degree. And he dates it back to 2017.

2:04.5

Now, this is a DA, Alvin Bragg, who will barely prosecute violent crime in New York City. He has

2:09.4

reduced 52% of felonies in a city that is crime-ridden to misdemeanors failing to convict in half of
