Megyn Kelly Kicks Off Her 1st "Megyn Kelly Live" Date Talking Trump, Charlie Kirk, and Audience Q&A

[00:00] It's funny because I don't get out

[00:02] enough. You know, I say this on the

[00:04] show, but I spend most of my time in my

[00:06] studio and with my family. I'm not doing

[00:08] a ton of red carpet events, but I feel

[00:10] like God lets you know every once in a

[00:12] while what you need. You know, like God

[00:14] tells you, that little voice tells you

[00:17] to get out there because you need

[00:18] something. Like when I went and I spoke

[00:20] for Trump the night before the vote, I

[00:23] knew I needed to do it. And then when I

[00:26] went and I spoke for Trump the day

[00:29] before he was inaugurated in Washington

[00:31] DC, that was crazy. It was such an

[00:33] honor. And I remember we pulled up to

[00:36] the auditorium and it was just this huge

[00:37] arena and this one guy came over to me

[00:40] and he's like, "Oh my god, I'm such a

[00:41] huge fan. I love you. My mom loves you."

[00:45] And I'm like, "Oh, thank you. Thank you.

[00:46] Thank you." And he's like, "Seriously,

[00:48] I'm your number one fan. Would you would

[00:49] you mind giving me an autograph and a

[00:50] picture?" I'm like, "Sure, sure, sure."

[00:52] And he's going on and on. I'm like, "I I

[00:54] still got it. this is amazing.

[00:58] And uh he walks away and my head has

[01:00] grown two sizes and he goes, "I can't

[01:02] believe I just met Carrie Underwood.

[01:08] What the

[01:10] what?"

[01:11] And so what God thought I needed was a

[01:13] little humble pie. That's okay. Message

[01:15] received. I got it. Anyway, I'm I'm so

[01:19] happy to be together tonight because I

[01:20] am feeling super optimistic right now. I

[01:23] was thinking about this time last year.

[01:25] Okay, so what are we in October? Yes,

[01:27] we're still in October. We hadn't yet

[01:29] had the vote. We didn't know how it was

[01:31] going to turn out. You know, it was like

[01:33] now it seems so obvious that Trump was

[01:35] going to beat that Nimrod. But at the

[01:37] time, the polls were like tight. You

[01:40] know, we had a lot to worry about. And

[01:43] right now, I just feel so enthusiastic

[01:45] about where the country's going. I

[01:47] Aren't you so I like Thank God Donald

[01:50] Trump is in office.

[01:53] Yes. [applause]

[01:56] Honestly, I am down on my knees thanking

[01:58] God for that fact every day. And it's

[02:01] not just Trump, you know, look at the

[02:03] dream team around him, right? Like I

[02:06] know Trump hasn't even been in office

[02:07] for a year, but we're already starting

[02:08] to think a little bit about JD, right?

[02:11] [cheering]

[02:13] Are we good enough people to have those

[02:15] eight years follow these four years? I

[02:18] think we might be. I think we've deserve

[02:20] we deserve it. We've earned it. Marco,

[02:24] amazing, too. What about that ticket?

[02:27] I'd vote for that in a New York minute.

[02:29] And it's not just those two, right?

[02:31] We've got Tulsi. We've got RFKJ.

[02:34] Like, making a real difference. Poor

[02:35] RFKJ gets such terrible press no matter

[02:37] where you turn. But do you know that

[02:39] he's the most popular cabinet member?

[02:41] Isn't that crazy? So, like universally

[02:44] bad press, like Elon level press, but

[02:46] he's the most popular cabinet member.

[02:48] And that's because no one's listening to

[02:51] the mainstream media anymore. [cheering]

[02:55] [applause]

[02:56] That's it.

[02:59] So, thank God people are waking up and

[03:01] starting to pay attention to what's

[03:03] really going on in this country because

[03:04] we the left is more unhinged than ever.

[03:08] All right, we know that. That that's

[03:10] obvious. They've gone from like back

[03:11] when I was on Fox, we used to talk about

[03:13] political correctness. Now it's insane

[03:15] wokeness, which is way more pernitious,

[03:18] like way more dangerous, and like a new

[03:22] cult religion that's like satanic.

[03:25] Um, they used to call John McCain a

[03:28] racist. Okay. Mitt Romney a sexist.

[03:32] Sure, Jam, right? And now we've

[03:34] graduated to Hitler with Trump. Like,

[03:37] they're just doubling and tripling,

[03:39] quadrupling down on all this crazy

[03:41] messaging. We we went from a left that

[03:44] wanted to take away our guns to a left

[03:46] that is now cheering for guns when

[03:48] they're used against conservatives.

[03:51] I mean that is sick.

[03:54] That's sick.

[03:57] And and it's real. Like I couldn't

[03:59] believe could not believe the number of

[04:01] people who cheered when Trump got shot.

[04:05] The number of people at these no kings

[04:06] rallies who were saying, "Oh, we need

[04:08] better assassins. you know, wish he

[04:10] hadn't turned his head or cholesterol,

[04:12] do your job. And then, of course,

[04:14] there's what happened to poor Charlie. I

[04:17] love all you people wearing the freedom

[04:19] shirts out there tonight. Thank you for

[04:21] representing. [applause and cheering]

[04:25] I know everybody is still hurting about

[04:27] Charlie and I know so many people here

[04:30] tonight went through that with me. Like,

[04:33] we went through that together.

[04:35] You know, the day Charlie was shot, we

[04:37] had gone off the air. you know, we do

[04:39] this show live on SiriusXM. So, we were

[04:41] live those two hours and then I went

[04:43] back to my desk and my team said, "Oh my

[04:46] god, Charlie, there's a shooting at a

[04:48] Charlie Kirk event." And you know, you

[04:51] hear that in today's day and age and you

[04:52] think, "Oh, it's like I sadly it's kind

[04:55] of common place. We didn't think anybody

[04:56] had been shot." And then the next report

[04:59] was, "No, someone was shot and it was

[05:00] Charlie."

[05:02] And we were like, "We got to go back on

[05:04] the air immediately."

[05:06] And it wasn't because we wanted

[05:07] downloads or in any way to exploit what

[05:10] was happening. It was because I felt

[05:12] really strongly that you needed me and I

[05:16] needed you.

[05:18] [applause]

[05:21] I I just knew if we're going to have to

[05:23] get through this, if something's

[05:24] happened, we're going to want to do it

[05:26] together. And I knew there wasn't a

[05:28] single viewer of our show who was going

[05:31] to want to take that news from CNN or

[05:34] MSNBC.

[05:37] [applause]

[05:39] Charlie's death has been so rattling to

[05:41] all of us, me on a personal level, and

[05:43] I'm sure all of you guys who felt like

[05:45] you knew him because he came on the show

[05:46] once a month, sometimes more, and I went

[05:49] on his show. And there is a way of

[05:51] genuinely getting to know somebody in

[05:53] that way, you know? It's like it's a

[05:56] real friendship.

[05:58] The only thing that's made me feel

[06:00] better since he passed was the news this

[06:02] week that Bible sales have gone up 37%.

[06:07] [applause]

[06:08] And you've seen the revival of faith in

[06:10] churches across this country. Charlie

[06:13] would be so proud of that. And I too,

[06:17] you know, you guys, I've had my my

[06:19] struggle with faith because I I believe,

[06:21] but I have been trying to get this

[06:23] anulment of my first marriage. It's very

[06:26] strange to say to a perfect stranger why

[06:28] your first marriage failed and get him

[06:30] to say he you can undo it. It's like

[06:31] what am I? I don't understand. Maybe I'm

[06:33] really an evangelical, not a Catholic. I

[06:35] don't know.

[06:37] So, I've been going through it. But I

[06:39] will say Charlie's passing has renewed

[06:42] even my commitment. And you guys have

[06:43] been so great. You sent me all these

[06:45] suggested books and so on and I bought

[06:47] them all. I just finished Lee Stro's The

[06:49] Case for Christ. Thank you. I got that

[06:53] from you guys. Uh and now I'm reading

[06:56] the whole series. And actually somebody,

[06:58] one of the audience recommended that um

[07:00] Charlie had been reading um [sighs] I'm

[07:03] reading it right now. Why can't I? It's

[07:05] like one of the most famous books on

[07:06] earth like Man for Meaning. What is it?

[07:10] Man, the man's search for meaning. Thank

[07:12] you very much. uh by Victor Frankl. So

[07:14] I'm reading that now. So thanks to all

[07:16] of you. In any event, look, we've got to

[07:19] find our faith. If there's no faith,

[07:21] that's how you wind up with the mo woke

[07:23] mind virus, right? That was an antidote

[07:26] to people who needed something in their

[07:27] hearts and their heads after they shut

[07:29] out God. But I feel like our side, the

[07:31] side of reason, still has God, and we

[07:33] need him now more than ever. And we need

[07:35] to stay awake. Not woke, not like Kamla

[07:38] said, but awake because we slept a

[07:40] little too long while they were passing

[07:42] laws to make sure teachers could trans

[07:45] our kids without involving us. You know,

[07:48] we slept a little too long when we let

[07:49] the left take over race messaging and

[07:52] telling our kids they were bad because

[07:54] they were white or less than because

[07:56] they were black and it was never

[07:57] overcomeable. Like, we were a little

[07:58] asleep at the switch, but we're back

[08:00] now. And we're going to need every

[08:02] single one of you to fight the good

[08:05] fight as we go forward because it's not

[08:07] over. It's not over by a long shot. But

[08:10] looking at you, I know we got it. So,

[08:12] thank you for being here. Now, we're

[08:14] going to do a little something fun.

[08:15] We're going to do some Q&A. Do you want

[08:16] to do some Q&A?

[08:18] >> We have a couple minutes before we're

[08:19] going to bring out Jesse and Don Jr.,

[08:23] but let's take a little question from

[08:24] the audience. Yes. Sit in the front row

[08:26] of your life. Go ahead. Come on up here.

[08:28] Fire one at me.

[08:35] Hi, Megan.

[08:36] >> Hi.

[08:37] >> Love you. Listen every day.

[08:39] >> Thank you.

[08:40] >> Big fan. Lived in Connecticut, moved to

[08:43] Texas.

[08:44] >> Right on.

[08:45] >> Maybe you should follow.

[08:47] >> We're considering it.

[08:50] >> Um, I guess my question is I have a

[08:53] seventh grader and a sixth grader. And

[08:56] how do we direct our younger children

[09:01] into their high school, maybe college

[09:04] years?

[09:06] How do we steer them in the right

[09:07] direction?

[09:09] >> Well, I mean, there's a lot there. Of

[09:12] course, the number one thing is just

[09:13] love on them. Love and love and love.

[09:14] And that will solve most of the

[09:16] problems. I do think go to church every

[09:18] week. Make sure you don't leave that

[09:21] void uh unfulfilled because somebody

[09:24] else will fill it. Um, and I do think

[09:27] now, you know, my kids now, our kids are

[09:29] 16, 14, and 12, boy, girl, boy. And the

[09:32] boys are at a great school that's not

[09:34] woke and and wonderful. But our

[09:36] daughters at a school is more woke than

[09:38] we would like. And while we do get

[09:40] involved when they veer too far left,

[09:43] there are some advantages to sending

[09:45] your child to a somewhat woke school.

[09:47] Not super woke because that's abusive,

[09:49] but somewhat woke because they're still

[09:51] in your house and you can work with them

[09:54] to counterprogram. So, it's almost like

[09:57] inoculating them before the lunatics on

[09:59] college campuses get a hold of them. you

[10:01] know, you I don't think you should send

[10:03] them off there without any basic, you

[10:05] know, skills to recognize the woke mind

[10:08] virus when they're exposed to it and to

[10:11] understand indoctrination and how it

[10:12] works. So, that's my my basic thought on

[10:15] it. Yeah. But love is number one.

[10:19] Hi there. Yes. How are you?

[10:24] >> Hi.

[10:24] >> Hi. Um, so I had heard at Fox News the

[10:28] management and producers had caused

[10:30] tension between a lot of the hosts. Is

[10:32] that true? Like intentionally to cause

[10:34] them to be separate.

[10:35] >> Um, well, I can only speak to like the

[10:38] Roger Als era because, you know, he was

[10:40] gone basically when I left. And Roger

[10:43] never tried to cause friction between

[10:44] the talent, but he definitely caused

[10:46] friction between the executives. He

[10:47] wanted them to stay off balance. And I

[10:50] think it's in part because he didn't

[10:51] want a clear successor to himself. it

[10:53] was like a power, you know, move, but I

[10:55] don't think he really pitted the talent

[10:57] against each other. And there maybe some

[10:59] here and there, but for the most part,

[11:00] he was more focused on the dynamics with

[11:02] the executives. And I would say in

[11:05] general at Fox, the talent was very

[11:06] supportive of one another and really

[11:07] quite lovely. Um, NBC,

[11:11] not exactly the same. Yeah.

[11:14] Hi, how are you? Hi. So, I'm a high

[11:18] schooler and I will be a first-time

[11:20] voter at the next presidential election.

[11:23] >> Yes, they're all with you. And I was

[11:26] wondering how I could become like an

[11:28] educated voter with such a biased media

[11:30] and how would you suggest handling that

[11:32] kind of stuff?

[11:33] >> Well, obviously obviously you should be

[11:36] listening to the Megan Kelly show and AM

[11:37] update every day. [applause]

[11:39] That's number one. Now, you're busier in

[11:41] high school, so at least just take an AM

[11:43] update, which is usually about 16

[11:44] minutes long, and we'll give you the the

[11:46] day's headlines without leftist spin.

[11:49] Um, I do think it's important to take in

[11:51] some news from the left just so you can

[11:53] hear how crazy they are because you need

[11:55] to make decisions in your life and it's

[11:56] good to see like what the other side is

[11:57] offering. You know, it's like that juicy

[12:00] steak is going to look a lot better to

[12:02] you when you see like some disgusting

[12:04] rotted fish on the other plate. So,

[12:06] maybe sample some NPR. I don't know, the

[12:08] New York Times, the Daily, whatever.

[12:10] What's the opposite of me? Both of

[12:12] those. But yeah, keep keep taking in

[12:15] lots of information and definitely if if

[12:17] you want to branch out beyond the Megan

[12:18] Kelly show, go to Prageru. They've got a

[12:21] lot of short little videos that are like

[12:23] quick quick hits, quick educators for

[12:26] somebody like you who just wants to bone

[12:27] up on the on the day like issues.

[12:30] Good luck.

[12:32] Buy gold and get free silver. That's

[12:34] right. For every $5,000 purchased from
