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 Friday, our last live broadcast before the Christmas break. And may I just say before we get started how grateful I am, and I know my staff feels too, toward all of you for making the show what it is and making it possible for us to do it to you every day and bring the show to you, the news to you in the way that we think is... appropriate, special, and all too rare. So couldn't do it without the support of all of you listening and watching. Feel very grateful to you all. Feel especially hopeful this time of year, as I know a lot of you do too, as we're now, you know, what, a month away. Actually, it's a month from today that Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. And it happened despite overwhelming odds against him and despite a media that is entirely against him.

And I think it happened thanks to honest brokers like the ones who listen to this show, who are in the market for actual news, real facts, yes, opinion, but based on real facts and not misleading bullshit on one side or the other. So thank you to all of you very much. We've got two great guests today. I'm so excited about the guests we have to end out the year. The two Bs. Bannon and Brunt. My husband, Doug Brunt, will come up in our second hour. And my team has prepared a special holiday quiz for me to take showing how well I know Doug's Christmas traditions and memories. I have not yet seen it, but I plan to ace it. So we will see how that goes in hour two. All right. And in our first guest, we have another important B, which is Steve Bannon. And here's where we're going to start.

As I said, we are now one way, one month away from the inauguration of Donald Trump 2.0. And even before that day arrives, the Democratic Party remains in crisis. They don't know what they're doing. Why are they talking about 2028 already? My God, would you just still do an honest retrospective on why you lost 2024 before you start? I mean, fine, but if I were a Democrat, I'd be a little annoyed. They don't know what to do. Labeling Donald Trump Hitler didn't work. America's Mussolini, nah, the American public didn't buy it. So now, for now, they've come up with a new way to try to irritate Donald Trump and the to break apart a really important and potentially even holy alliance between Donald Trump and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.

The latest line, Trump is nothing more than Elon's puppet. They got scared.
Margaret Sullavan 2:59
Because President Musk told them.

President Musk said, don't do it. Don't do it. Trump looked tiny yesterday. He looked like a very little man. The shadow president, Elon Musk. But the daddy they really fear and the daddy who really leads them right now. Donald Trump looks tiny right now. He looks small compared to Elon Musk. First, welcome to the Elon Musk presidency. This is an unelected oligarch who appears to be running our government. Okay, I thought Joe Biden was the president. I mean, technically, isn't he still the president? But it's obvious what they're trying to do there, and I'll talk about it in one second. But last night, my first guest today, Steve Bannon, spoke about what the Democratic Party should expect from the incoming administration when President Trump actually takes office, when he, Bannon, appeared at Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix. And typically for Steve, he did not hold back.

political class is infected with a malignant cancer. That cancer is bipartisanship. Was there any bipartisanship in Scott Pressler going around for the last four years and changing the makeup of the electorate in Pennsylvania or in Arizona? Was there any? No. The conversation is over. President Trump came back from the political dead, and on the shoulders of the most powerful populist movement in the history of the world, brought in every demographic, every ethnicity, every gender in every part of the country, and won a landslide victory. All the battleground states, every demographic, and the popular vote. We have nothing else to discuss.
