They discuss why Fox News partnering with Univision was a huge miss, the liberal framing on questions from the moderators, the need for structure amid the chaos, how Ron DeSantis has shown improvement from the first GOP debate, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott looking awkward debating curtains, a good DeSantis moment on Florida's curriculum, Vivek Ramaswamy “relaunching” with a new personality in the second GOP debate, if he was able to tone down his "know-it-all" persona, Trump's humor and connection with the working class, Gavin Newsom's “classless” comments when discussing his upcoming debate with Ron DeSantis, Newsom claiming trans issues are a "distraction," the UK government getting involved in comments made by Laurence Fox on Dan Wootton's GB News show, how it's leading to suspensions and firings, the issue of male suicide, and more.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. Last night marked the

0:16.7

second Republican primary debate and it was terrible. It was terrible. Between the

0:23.1

line of questioning, the lackluster performance from some of the candidates and the cringe

0:27.7

attempts at laugh lines. It seems yet again, the only real winner was Trump, who chose

0:33.9

not to play today. We have an all star panel to break it all down for you and for more

0:38.2

on the 2024 presidential race. And just a bit, I'm going to be joined by journalist

1:29.0

into the general. No, I take it all back. They were sniping, they were small ball, they

1:35.4

were petty. The moderators were a disaster. I don't think it was a good night for the Republican

1:41.1

party. It could have been. It just wasn't. And I think overall it was a fail. So I will

1:47.1

give the whole event. I won't give it an F, but I'm going to give it a D. I'm going to
