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. Happy Wednesday. We have a great show for you today. The thief has been identified. We now know who stole that New York Knicks
0:22.9	trash can in the viral video from the championship parade. Who steals the trash can? I mean,
0:28.1	how much of a low life do you have to be to pick up a full trash can, dump all of the trash
0:34.2	on the sidewalk of the city you're supposed to be celebrating and then steal
0:39.5	the trash can. You're not going to believe who it was. Actually, you will totally believe it,
0:45.4	but you're going to I roll. Plus, Chamath Palahapitia is here. I never say it right,
0:51.3	but we are French math from the All-In podcast.
0:57.4	He's going to be here to tell us what we need to know about the latest with AI,
1:01.2	and he's got some really helpful insights on it.

1:25.3	are we going hardcore left in Manhattan. It's very interesting to me because
1:30.6	when Mamdani got elected, I know tons of Republicans who are actually operatives within the party
1:36.6	who were saying they couldn't wait to make him the face of the Democrat Party. And they thought
1:42.2	that would be very good for Republicans.
1:52.5	Depends on where you are. Because in New York, he's a hero. I mean, he's becoming extremely strong and formidable as a kingmaker within the Democrat Party. And, you know, New York is not considered extreme by most Democrats.
2:04.9	Like, it's how they see their own party and how they see the world and generally where they'd like
2:09.8	to take their own party. The far left is ascendant within Team Blue. And there are some key reasons
2:16.2	why that's so. Let me just give you a couple of
2:19.0	the updates, and then we're going to bring in Mark Halperin to talk about what this all means.
