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. How are you feeling this morning? Like shit? Yeah, I can relate. Last night was a total... And complete disaster. I realize these were blue states. I don't care. The margins are so large and Republicans lost across the board everywhere in every race. There's really no good news. Literally, the only good news is how radical the Democrats are and how Mom Donnie will now be the poster child for every Republican to use against his opponent. I mean, they'll all have to explain where they stand on Mamdani as he wrecks New York. But the Republican Party needs to get its shit together.
Why is Megyn Kelly calling last night a crushing loss for Republicans?
ASAP. I'm really glad we spent the past couple of weeks, as Sean Davis of The Federalist put it, policing some young person's group chat, what a podcast host said, and what the head of a think tank over at Heritage had to say. I'm really glad that the Republicans devoted so much time to that. That was a great move. Terrific move. Way to stick together to really shine a light on what matters. The Republicans like to lose. They enjoy losing. They enjoy when they are embattled and in a losing position and complaining. They love it. They do it really well. Less good at winning, especially when Donald Trump is not there to get them over the line. The Republican Party is not strong. Donald Trump is strong. Republicans don't know how to win.
They don't know who to run. They don't know what to do when he's not when daddy's not there to fly them across the finish line. And that's just been so obvious. Meanwhile, Trump is all over the Middle East while people's groceries bills are still high. They're still dealing with inflation. They're suffering like that's it. OK, we're focused on domestic policy and on making people's lives better. That's really all I have to say. Those are my top line thoughts. There's a lot to get into on why this happened and so on. But that that's my top line takeaway. That in the matter of, you know, an immigrant invasion that has now given us a radical Muslim running the greatest city in the world into the ground. That's where it's going.
He's not only going to be running it, he's going to run it into the ground. And God help. New Yorkers, thank God we got out. If I had a nickel for every time my husband and I have said that over the past few months, thank God we got out. Thank God. Our old apartment building, which you could not get into when we first bought there many years ago, more than 10 years ago, now has like 50%, almost 50% inventory. It's like unheard of. They're fleeing. fleeing, and not for nothing, but that building had a lot of Orthodox Jewish people in it. I'm sure they're leaving for a number of reasons. One, it's an expensive building, and I'm sure they have money. Two, they're Orthodox Jews. Who wants to be an Orthodox Jew under Mamdani in New York?
It's insane. And the Orthodox tend to be more conservative and tend to vote Republican anyway. This guy last night, the anger that he spewed, I mean, he dropped the mask immediately. Mamdani did. Immediately.
Immediately.
He got up there and was all but rubbing his hands together, looking at his new power and what he's going to do to the city of New York. God bless them. I wish them all the luck. And I'm worried on a personal basis because we go to New York. Of course, if you live anywhere near New York City, you go, you go for shows, you go for occasional dinners, you know, your kids go. I shudder to think of what he's going to do to it. I mean, we didn't even spend so much time on the socialism and his radical Islamist ties. We didn't even really spend a lot of time on the fact that he's budgeting, he said, $65 million to trans anyone who wants it from in-state or out-of-state, minor or adult on the taxpayer dime.
He basically wants New York to be a sanctuary for trans children. Last night, his speech, he thanked every foreign nation known to man, like the Senegalese, whatever, hot dog salesman, the Nepalese cab driver.
