Full Episode
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 Monday and happy birthday, Yardley. My daughter turns 14 today.
All you moms and dads out there know, it seems like yesterday, you know, it's so crazy how in a blink of an eye, 14 years go by and soon it'll be 18 and then they tell me she might leave me, though I'm in denial about that fact for my daughter and my two sons. Anyway, happy birthday, sweetheart. Yeah. Yeah. You know, oligarchy for me, but not for thee, is really what she's saying.
And then this morning, a bunch of ladies celebrated female empowerment by putting on sexy fake astronaut suits and going up into sort of outer space for 11 minutes. Through all the engineering and mathematical wizardry and physics wizardry of a bunch of people who didn't get any credit and were behind some control room panel.
I guess we're supposed to believe that like Gayle King is an astronaut now. We're supposed to be celebrating them. Somehow it's supposed to be empowering because not enough women have gone up into space. What we mean is not enough are astronauts. Not enough women are astronauts. That's what we mean.
We don't mean please put Gayle King in yet another opportunity for her to try to act like a star while she's next to Oprah, who also was there, of course. She didn't get to go up. but she stood there on the sidelines. I don't feel empowered. This is like another, it's female White House press corps day at the White House. Remember I told you this during Obama?
They were like, it's female empowerment day or whatever. And they invited a bunch of women, including yours truly and some people from Fox to go over there and interview the president. And I was like, no, it's a no. I'll go over when I'm getting asked there because I'm worthy as a journalist, period. Not journalist with a vagina.
OK, I don't really want to be celebrated for that at all by anyone who doesn't know me. And I just feel uncomfortable about this. Like why? If they had been six astronauts going up there, then yes. OK, what did they do? The one gal is engaged to a billionaire and these are a bunch of celebrities she wanted to befriend. OK, OK.
Of course, Lauren Shands has, whatever her name, had to show off her tits. Okay, it's a little early in the hour to be dropping the T word. Her breasts in her little fake astronaut outfit, because what's a day if we don't get to see the girls on Lauren Sanchez? It's not as offensive as showing them at the presidential inauguration, but I think it's a little off message.
Isn't it a little off message? We're going to get into all the big stories today. Joining me now for the full show, Matt Taibbi, editor of Racket News on Substack, and Walter Kern. He's editor at large for County Highway, which I like, County Highway. Together, they host the America This Week podcast. You've heard about tariffs recently, plus inflation, supply chain disruptions. It's a lot.
