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, which turned five years old over the weekend. I can't believe it. I just posted a picture on X and on Insta of my first little studio, which was, we were still living in New York City at the time, and I took over just a little corner of my children's playroom. Abby had to get me this desk that was in sort of a triangle shape so it would fit in the corner. When she got offline, it was like $130. It was very cheap and cheaply made, you know, like that sort of plasterboard, whatever you call that. And that's how we launched the show. It was literally like three staffers, including Abby and me. And she sat in a little beanbag on the floor.
Yeah.
next to me while I did the show. I was like so crazy five years ago. And now it's just nuts. Now, thanks to all of you, it's just exploded. And we're just getting literally like hundreds, I don't know, 150 million views. views on YouTube a month, something crazy. Steve Krakauer keeps track of it all. I try not to pay. Yeah, he tells me it's about 150 million views a month. And that's not even counting the podcast downloads and the social media reach of the show. Anyway, I'm super, super grateful to all of you. And as you know, if you've listened from the beginning, as I know many of you have, because I hear from a lot of you saying, I've been there from the start. Of course, that would only be about five of you.
but you still email me. Thank you. Then you know, the show has changed dramatically in that time. And I've changed dramatically in that time. And it's been a fun evolution. You know, I had to get used to giving my opinion and figuring out my opinion on some certain things. And the world has changed dramatically underneath us in that time. And in large part, thanks to all of you. who voted Trump back in, restored sanity to our nation. We're having different issues now, but we defeated, really, we defeated wokeism. It's still lingering out there, like some lunatics are still pushing it. We'll get to some of the ones who are today. But we won. We won that hugely important battle. You know, there are some losers who are still holding on, like, oh, BLM.
It's okay. Okay, but it's just been an incredible journey. So thanks to all of you for making it possible. I love you all. And I'm hoping I get to meet some of you out in person on the MK Live Tour. Go ahead and buy tickets. 10 City Tour starts in October, megankelly.com. OK, we start today with the news as President Trump orders National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, after months of Antifa and left wing protesters interfering with, threatening and even attacking federal agents just trying to do their job. Democratic leaders spent all weekend saying all is well in Portland. are not needed in the city. They are not needed here. Oregon has not requested any federal assistance, and nor do we need it.
This is an American city. We do not need any intervention. The president will not find lawlessness or violence here. If President Trump came to Portland today, What he would find is people riding their bikes, playing sports, enjoying the sunshine, buying groceries or produce from a farmer's market, as the governor had noted.
And we're here as a delegation to say we do not need and we do not want federal troops here in Oregon. It's a thriving, wonderful community. And not one time has any Oregonian ever said, you know, we need to fix up Portland. We need to send troops. We need the president to help us. No, they've told me every single time we got this. If you look online, you'll see that life is pretty bucolic in Portland.
Is it bucolic for the ICE agents? I think not. Here are the facts of what's happening outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland. Since June, there are usually dozens of protesters in front of the facility every night, at least. It's been boarded up with plywood since June after protesters tried to enter it.
