Full Episode
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 and happy Monday. I had the most unbelievable weekend that you are going to find out about very soon. We have something really special for you coming up later this week.
To all the people whose phone calls and messages I blew off yesterday, I apologize. You will soon understand fully why it was necessary. And I think you will forgive me instantly when you see the bit of work product that we have in store for all of our viewers and listeners. It's the greatest. It's just so funny. Okay. But we begin today someplace else. That's a tease for you.
I'm not at liberty to tell you quite yet what we're doing. Okay. We begin with Trump's 100-day week this week, Trump 2.0. He remains on offense, sitting for several interviews this week with his antagonists in the press. Meantime, the corporate media is more depressed than ever, as seen by the saddest, most pathetic White House Correspondents Dinner ever. And that's really saying something.
Joining me now to break it all down, Emily Jaschinski, DC correspondent for UnHerd and host of Undercurrents, and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon and co-host of the Ink Stained Wretches podcast. These days, it feels like nothing surprises us anymore, right? But not necessarily in a good way.
The headlines are heavy, the future feels uncertain, and so much is out of our control. But one thing you can take control of right now is your family's financial future with life insurance through SelectQuote. Whether you need $500,000 or $50 million in coverage, SelectQuote makes it easy to find the right policy for your unique needs.
They have helped over 2 million people find more than $700 billion in coverage since 1985. And they do it fast, often in as little as 15 minutes. Other life insurance brokers might push generic overpriced plans, but select quotes licensed agents work for you, not the insurance companies.
Even if you have a pretexting or sorry, preexisting condition like high blood pressure or diabetes, select quote partners with carriers who can still offer coverage. And if you're healthy, you could get same day coverage with no medical exam required. So don't wait for another what if.
Consider taking a step to secure your peace of mind and get the right life insurance for you for less at selectquote.com slash Megan. Selectquote.com slash Megan. Selectquote. They shop, you save. Ladies, welcome back. So as Gayle King might say, have you been? Have you been? Did you go to the White House Correspondents Dinner?
I did not. Eliana, did you go? I have been one time, and that was enough for me. I think maybe 2018 or 2019, that was good enough for me. And I cannot tell you how happy I was not to attend any cocktail parties or any events associated with this weekend of... festivities in Washington.
