Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everybody. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Today, what a treat we have for you. We have got first Mike Walsh. He's the National Security Advisor. And man, does he have a lot on his plate. There is so much happening in the world of foreign policy right now. You've seen in the news, President Trump's getting beaten up by every paper, every left wing cable operation, news operation, but there's a lot going on. And he's got a lot of immense challenges. And Mike Walls is a critical piece of his solutions. So he'll join us for our first time together. And then Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary, will be here next.

And you're going to love this interview. I just sat down with her. She is the youngest press secretary ever. Didn't even know that until I was preparing for today. We get into her background, her marriage, her baby. You're gonna learn facts about her that you have never heard anywhere else. And then we talk quite a bit about her boss, the press, what insights she's learned being upfront and personal with these guys and who her least favorite White House reporter is. And she did name a name. So I think you're gonna enjoy that too. We continue to face uncertainty when it comes to the economy with a perfect storm brewing as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point as the largest generation is hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base. You pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living and we could have a big problem.

So you're a busy man these days.
Michael Moynihan 2:30
The president's been a little busy these days. We told him a few days ago, Mr. President, you know we have four years, right? Right. You think about just what we've done in the last month. I think we did more in a month than Biden did in all four years.

on all fronts domestic international and there's a lot happening when it comes to the international situation i mean it's like we were just talking before we got started oh yeah then there's china which hasn't been in the news really in the past couple of weeks so let's start with what is in the news and today the dominant story is ukraine and whether things are deteriorating now between uh president trump and volodymyr zelensky there seems to be an escalating Slight war of words between the two of them. Zelensky's complaining he wasn't brought in on the negotiation. Trump called him a dictator. Even some Republicans said that went too far. What do you make of it?
Michael Moynihan 3:21
Well, this notion that he hasn't been consulted, I've just got to push back. It's just not true. Just a week ago, President Trump in the Oval Office had Putin on the phone for the, I mean, the first time they've engaged since the prior administration had him on the phone and then Zelensky on the phone within minutes. Both of them said only President Trump can bring this war to a conclusion and you can't get us to a ceasefire and get this war to end if you don't talk to both sides so it is an age-old kind of you know approach in diplomacy called shuttle diplomacy you talk to one side then you talk to the other oh by the way uh we just got to a ceasefire and we see hostages being released in the middle east
Michael Moynihan 4:08
