0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.1	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. It's the story that everyone's talking about.
0:17.4	I mean everyone. Elon Musk versus Donald Trump. Let me give you the background on it,
0:22.2	and then I'll give you my take on it. This started when we were on the air yesterday, but it
0:26.4	escalated quickly after we said goodbye. President Trump, writing on true social that he asked Elon to
0:32.0	leave the administration, that's news. His special governmental employee status had expired, but it can be renewed. It goes for
0:39.8	130 days. It could be renewed, renewed, renewed. That's what they did with Anita done. In any event,
0:44.2	he's now saying he asked Elon to leave because he said he was, quote, wearing thin. Peter Ducey at

1:27.4	Next, claiming that he was decommissioning Space X Dragon Spacecraft. That was the one that just rescued those
1:29.5	astronauts off of the International Space Station. And by the way, right now, it's our only means
1:34.7	of getting crew and cargo up to the ISS. And we have three astronauts up there right now. So it's
1:41.2	kind of like an oh shit moment for them. Like, uh-oh, my ride just got
1:45.1	canceled. But then some obscure Twitter account said, why don't you quote, cool down and don't do
1:52.0	this. And Elon said, oh, okay, we won't decommission the dragon. Now, I mean, obviously Elon
1:58.2	was just looking for something. This guy did not convince him.
