Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. What a week. What a week I'm having, but in a good way. Especially busy for President Donald Trump, who got right to work after taking office on Monday, as we've been discussing. Yesterday, he signed another flurry of executive orders, including one that got all of social media talking to declassify all remaining documents related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. Can you believe we haven't yet released those? I mean, this happened in 63 and 68 before I was born, before a lot of us listening to this were born. They're still being kept a secret, but I mean, it's like, it's long overdue. It's kind of ridiculous that we're even having to beg for these things. Plus, a vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Department of Defense secretary is expected to happen late tonight. And it's going to be a close one.

And the Democrats are still slinging mud up until the 11th hour as we got a look at the Republicans who are likely to vote against the nomination. I also want to tell you that later in the show, I'm going to be joined by Zachary Young. Who is Zachary Young? Well, first, this is his first long-form interview, and he is the military veteran who just successfully sued CNN for defamation, winning a $5 million compensatory damages award from them, and they were about to move on to the punitive damages phase where they were recommending the experts something like $120 million, at which point CNN... settled this case. So this will be his first long-form interview, and I'm looking forward to discussing with him what it is CNN did to him and why they were so unapologetic. The jury saw it differently. Okay, but here to kick us off today is Piers Morgan. He's the host of Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube, which is now available on all podcast platforms as well, and he's now going fully independent.

Piers Morgan 3:23
Megan, great to see you. I'm extremely well, thank you.
Megyn Kelly 3:27
It's great to see you too. So just as a practical matter, I'm curious because I knew you broke away and you did the YouTube thing, but does this mean you're not working with Rupert anymore or what does this mean?
Piers Morgan 3:38
Well, what it means is I have basically acquired my YouTube channel. So I had a three-year deal with Rupert Murdoch and News and I had a very good chat with him about what I wanted to do. I didn't want to be just a talent for hire anymore when it came to the deal being renewed. It made me a very generous offer, which I So, look, it's very generous. I'm really appreciative. But I actually want to own my own business. And like you, I think we've both worked out that the future is not traditional linear television or traditional newspapers or any of the kind of legacy media, for want of a better phrase. Anyone under 40 is now consuming almost all of their news, opinion and comment from shows like mine, shows like yours online.
