Megyn Kelly is joined by Nicole Shanahan, "Back To The People" podcast host, to discuss the major executive orders Trump has signed in his first 48 hours, how he just ended DEI at federal agencies and universities, the challenges of implementation, liberals like Bill Maher calling out the ridiculous DEI focus and how it relates to the LA wildfires, how counterproductive DEI has proven to be, Trump’s major AI announcement, hundreds of billions being invested in the AI "infrastructure," the alarming discussion about AI and mRNA vaccines, the way some on the right and left are turning against RFK Jr. in absurd ways, and more. Then Sasha Stone, host of “Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning,” joins to discuss her personal story of leaving the Democratic party, her full MAGA conversion, being canceled publicly last year and what happened with advertisers, the media meltdown over Trump’s January 6 pardons and executive actions within his first 48 hours in office, the truth about those who were arrested in relation to January 6, and more.

Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. President Trump has continued a relentless pace since taking office just 48 hours ago. On day two, he ordered the closure of

0:23.2

all federal DEI offices. Yes. And according to a memo sent yesterday, all federal DEI employees

will be placed on paid leave by 5 p.m. tonight. Good luck making use of those absolutely

useless empty degrees. Plus, the crackdown on the

0:42.1

border crisis is already in motion. That too is equally uplifting. Border Tsar Tom Homan said

0:48.1

this morning, they've already got 308 illegal migrant criminals in custody. Sanity and common sense are returning to America.

0:56.9

And today we have two guests who have been tracking the shift in the culture in a way that's

1:01.3

beyond politics. Later, someone who's podcast and substack I absolutely love. I'm her fan.

1:07.7

I might be her biggest fan. Her name is Sasha Stone. She was with us a couple years ago,

1:13.2

and I listen to her podcast all the time. And she's such a great cultural commentator. She just

1:49.1

In any event, we are going to start, though, today with someone who played a role in helping

1:52.9

put Trump back in office, a former Democrat.

1:55.5

You've got two former Democrats on the show today, but now Independence, who started to tell the MAGA story

through moving ads, the best ads of the entire campaign. Nicole Shanahan was RFKJ's

2:08.6

vice presidential candidate, his running mate, and she hosts the Back to the People podcast.

Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, believes
