What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Fortum presents. Olavi Vaari playing his favourite instrument. Hmm, beautiful. But let's add a little energy.
Yes! We all have it. Northern energy. Courage to take action and develop your inner self. Wherever you go, Fortum brings energy and knowledge to your life. Fortum. Welcome to the Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. I'm back after a trip to Virginia Tech where I had the honor of speaking to a packed crowd of students there as part of Turning Point's ongoing campus tour. I was supposed to be there with Charlie. And his absence was felt acutely. It was one of those things like after he was killed, I had no idea whether they would go forward with the campus tour. I assumed that they wouldn't. And when Erica announced 48 hours after Charlie died that they were not stopping one thing, I stood up and cheered. I hadn't even considered that they would keep it rolling. And I was so inspired by her. And of course, there was no hesitation to go forward with it.
But I said to the students there last night, it was an act of courage of them to show up because these are kids on campus who are young. And unfortunately, that's where this violence took place on a college campus. And there are too many people that age who are turning dangerous these days. And so for them to show up in an environment where they know it's politically charged and where someone was assassinated two weeks beforehand at an event that has his organization's name on it and that this one did too is an act of courage by these students. And yet, can I show you? Let me show you the line. I'm just going to show you the line to get in. Let's roll the tape.
What did Jimmy Kimmel say upon his return to his show?
The listening audience, it goes on and on and on. I mean, just like it's endless. There were definitely thousands of people there last night. I don't know what the total headcount was, but the auditorium was jam-packed. It was standing room only. I went and I got to spend time with Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia beforehand, behind the scenes. What a charming man. What a great guy. God, he's got a very bright political future if he ever wants to seek national office. He's going to have to go after J.D. But after that... He would be amazing. He led us here backstage in prayer before we went out. And his words really meant something to me. They actually made me feel a lot better. Anyway, thank you to all the students who were there.
We'll get to what happened while I was there in a minute, but thank you to all those who showed up. You know, they said at Charlie's funeral that Charlie used to say, courage is actually easy. All you have to do is say yes. Just say yes and then do the thing. And that's what they did. So I'm honored that they turned out. I'm honored that Turning Point went forward with it and wanted me to appear. And I spoke with Erica about it via text, and she wanted me to tell them how proud she was of them and how Turning Point will have their back. I mean, she's thinking about them. She's also feeling proud of these students who are turning out at these events. I think one of the few things that's making her feel a little better
in these terrible days that she's going through. So keep that in mind, you know, sign up for these events and get out there. And speaking of Erica Kirk, I want to start today with an update to our Megyn Kelly live tour. We have an addition to our Glendale, Arizona date that's really important for me to tell you about. Joining me for that November 22nd event, the last stop on our tour, will be Erica Kirk. I am so grateful that she has agreed to do it. I believe this will be her first appearance and her first lengthy sit-down interview in front of a live audience, which is extremely brave on her part. And when I asked her, she did not hesitate for one minute. She's incredible. As you guys know, Charlie was supposed to be there with me.
He was actually going to come to Bakersfield, California, but Glendale is her backyard. So this is easy for her and we wanted to keep it as easy as possible.
