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. The corporate media is having a bigger meltdown this week than any other of the Trump presidency so far. There's Joy Reid's firing on MSNBC. Take care, sweetheart. We'll miss you in our own special way. There's the revolt over Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos putting his stamp on the outlet's opinion page. And there is the ongoing Doge saga as Elon Musk starred in President Trump's first cabinet meeting yesterday. They are horrified that someone who's not in the cabinet would show up at the cabinet meeting and actually try to run herd on this thing.
Like this person thinks that they're in the cabinet and they're not actually in the cabinet and how dare they do that. It's very upsetting and it's totally inappropriate unless your name is Jill Biden. in which case it's very laudable and good for her, or we didn't even notice it. As President Trump begins his new administration, one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda is Senator Dick Durbin. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Today, Americans have thousands of choices in credit cards, but they say Senator Durbin's plan will result in less competition and less security. And that means more risk to your credit and your identity. Learn more at GuardYourCard.org. And consider telling your senators to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late.
Joining me now to discuss it all is Buck Sexton. He's co-host of The Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton Show. Buck, welcome back.
Hey, Megan. Thanks for having me.
So it's one thing to have Jill Biden show up, but it's totally different to have Elon Musk show up and try to be accountable to the press and the cabinet. That is a bridge too far. They are out of line in having Elon there, and you need look no further than today's headlines to figure that out. CNN. Trump's cabinet meeting serves as a backdrop to Musk's power. It's just a backdrop. Trump was like a supporting cast member. New York Times, Musk's cabinet cameo, the elephant in the room wore black. The Guardian, Trump cabinet flunkies hail wannabe Caesar and Elon, his oligarch pal. And let's just give you a little contrast. When Jill Biden attended a cabinet meeting in September. This just passed September 2024. It was Biden's first in 11 months.
Look at her sitting at the head of the table. The CNN headline was not cabinet meeting serves as backdrop to Jill Biden's power. It was Joe Biden directs cabinet to run through the tape in legacy burnishing meeting. And then 21 paragraphs in, they mention First Lady Jill Biden shared an update on a women's health research initiative. New York Times, did they mention Jill? No, not a word. The Guardian, who's so upset now about how the flunkies hailed the wannabe Caesar and Elon, his oligarch, nothing. Didn't say one word. But Elon, bridge too far.
Well, to be fair, I think that the former president's wife was about as much the president as he was. I mean, Jill Biden was probably making more decisions behind the scenes of any consequence than Joe Biden was, which now even the Democrats and the Democrat-aligned media more or less admit, at least they do for the last year of his term. But yes, obviously, Megan, the Criticism is increasingly desperate and pathetic, I think, from the media, specifically about Elon. I mean, here you have the richest man in the world, self-made, richest man in the world, and every CEO that I've talked to, and I know you've talked to the titans of industry, Everyone respects this guy and then some, and a lot of people will just say he's a genius, specifically at what he's trying to help our government do, which is address inefficiencies, bureaucracy, bloat, waste, break through the really hard problems. Why is Elon the richest man in the world? Why is Tesla, SpaceX? now X after Twitter, all these, the boring company, all these different things.
