24 Mar 2025
Megyn Kelly is joined by Ben Shapiro, host of The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro Show, to discuss George Clooney trying to lecture the American people and the media about how bad President Trump is, a glowing profile of Clooney on 60 Minutes, trying to take credit for telling the truth about Biden's cognitive decline when he actually stayed silent for weeks, the Democratic party imploding, Bernie Sanders and AOC hitting the road with their their ridiculous “Fight Oligarchy” tour, Bernie suddenly sounding supportive of Trump on the border and AOC downplaying the trans issue, Trump winning in his fight against judges and leftist lawyers, woke universities bending the knee to Trump to keep their funding, Jeremy Boreing stepping down as co-CEO of The Daily Wire, Ben's push for a Derek Chauvin pardon, and more. Then Stephen A. Smith, host of The Stephen A. Smith Show and First Take, joins to discuss why he thinks he could easily win the 2028 Democratic primary but doesn’t plan on running, what he believes is going wrong within the Democratic party, how Ezra Klein and the Democratic elite are still unable to make sense of Trump’s win, their delusions about why Americans supported for Trump, Trump's dominance in sports and culture, why there weren't any upsets in the NCAA tournament, and more.Shapiro- https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-showSmith- https://www.youtube.com/@stephenasmithJust Thrive: Visit https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/Megyn and use code MEGYN to save 20% sitewideAngel Studios: Become an Angel Guild member today and get 2 free tickets to The King of Kings movie when you become a premium member.

Full Episode
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and happy Monday. I'm back home after a couple of weeks away. You know, you know how they say if you're going on vacation with your kids, it's not a vacation, it's a trip. It's a trip.
But I'm happy to report that my kids are now officially at the stage where that is no longer true. They are very... very worthy vacation buddies. It takes a while. Like when they're in the single digits, all three of them, that's that I understand that saying very well, but we've crossed over into true vacation mode. Although last week, as you know, was on a vacation.
We, we were working, we were doing the show. We were just doing it from the Bahamas, which was quite nice. There's nothing to complain about. Anyway, it's nice to be home and there's plenty of news to keep us propelling forward. Uh, the Democrat Democratic party is in shambles. I don't know if you saw this anywhere. Yeah, it's, it's in shambles.
Like you cannot open up a paper, the internet, your podcast feed without seeing a show talking to you about how badly it has imploded, uh, according to the polls, according to the party elders, according to surveys that are figuring out why they lost. And it's just basically abject hatred by Democrats of their own party. I mean, it's just, it's, It's just good luck. I wish you well.
Also in the news, Tim Walls trashing Elon Musk. We talked about that late last week. Now he's pretending it was all a big joke. He wasn't really celebrating the downfall of Tesla stock. That was all just Tim Walls being super funny. Maybe you missed it. Bernie Sanders and AOC on a socialism tour out West. And apparently it's going over big.
Their sort of pocket of the Democratic Party is the only one that's left standing. Unfortunately for them, it's a very, very small slice of their party. But within it, they're stars. And now we get a lecture on journalism. In fact, a whole Broadway show from George Clooney.
You know, last year, my pals over at the Daily Wire asked me if I would do the voice of this cartoon character called Wendy Burcham in Adam Carolla's cartoon called Mr. Burcham about a shop teacher. So I was, quote, playing the wife of a shop teacher. Didn't make me the actual wife of a shop teacher. Never will.
George, just because you play some sort of a journalism expert, an old hand in a play or a movie or otherwise doesn't make you one. No one gives a shit what you think is wrong with journalism. And his preening and moralism and self-righteousness is on full display, apparently not only in this show, but last night on 60 Minutes. So we will get into all of that as well.
We have a great show for you today. We've got Stephen A. Smith in our second hour, and I will ask him about what's going on in my bracket. I'm sorry. This is the one sports thing I actually do participate in every year, and I love to pick the upsets. I always do because... My whole system is just picking the city with which I have some sort of personal affiliation.
