Thu, 9 Jan 2025
Megyn Kelly begins the show by calling out the "moron" Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass over her stumbles after returning from Ghana, reading the letters "URL" instead of a website to help with the deadly wildfires, the incompetence of Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom, the embarrassing moment when ABC host David Muir was caught trying to make himself look more svelte on camera while covering the wildfires, his vanity as an actor playing dress up, a flashback to an hilarious Dan Rather vain moment, and more. Then legendary actor James Woods joins to discuss his personal story of evacuating from the LA wildfires, putting the incredible devastation into perspective, the incompetent leadership in the city and state and mismanagement that led to the terrible damage, setting politics aside and the humanity he's seen during this trying time in LA, the terrible leaders in the city who must be held accountable, what lack of preparation caused this devastation, and more. Then Adam Carolla, host of The Adam Carolla Show, to talk about his personal story of evacuating from the LA wildfires, the pragmatic way he plans to go about rebuilding from the devastation, the consequences of a focus on diversity by the LA Fire Department leadership, the incompetent leadership in LA and California, the challenge of rebuilding with all the red tape and bureaucracy, the billions California wasted on a failed high speed rail system, and more. Finally Megyn reflects on the devastation of the LA wildfires, the policies that led us to this moment, the need for liberals in the city and state to see this as a wake-up call, and the importance of perspective in trying moments like this.Woods- https://www.jameswoods.com/Carolla- https://adamcarolla.com/XX-XY Athletics: Go to https://TheTruthFits.com | Code MK20Ground News: Use the link https://groundnews.com/megyn for 40% off the Vantage subscription to see through mainstream media narratives.

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. Utter devastation in Los Angeles as fires continued overnight and were said to be 0% contained. I mean, they've been 0% contained basically since this thing started. We told you how bad the fires were yesterday. Things have only gotten worse.
Now at least five people are dead. More than 25,000 acres have burned and hundreds of thousands are under mandatory evacuation orders. Over a thousand structures have been destroyed. These are people's homes, children's schools. Think about these little kids who have their books and their art projects and their schools completely burned to the ground with nowhere to go now.
They've suffered enough, especially out in LA, where they closed schools forever during COVID. It is hard to describe the destruction. So many devastating videos and images. This one here encapsulates what our fellow Americans are dealing with right now. This is a photo from Altadena, California. And just for the listening audience, it's satellite.
It's a satellite image taken by Maxar Technologies. Before the fires, it looks like a normal city. And then this is the same area in a photo, an image taken yesterday after the entire neighborhood was destroyed. Look at that, just fire, destruction. It's just, you can't help but ask yourself, how could this happen in an American city?
It's not like a tornado that comes through in minutes and no human can do much about it. Fires are a known risk in California. Water supply is a known issue in Los Angeles. None of this is a mystery. The Santa Ana winds come every year and they do bring serious threats of fire and the spreading of it. The level of incompetence to have not been prepared They failed at every level.
The brave men and women of the LAFD, that's a different story. God bless them and the LAPD who are putting their lives on the line, going in there, trying to battle this blaze and to protect people as they evacuate. They're from their homes. Hats off to them and nothing but respect.
But there is only so much they can do when the fire department does not have the water to fight the worst fire in the city's history. Like a fireman is powerless without his hose turning on. You might've heard about this new brand called XXXY Athletics. This is the only athletic brand that is standing up for women's sports.
It was founded by former elite gymnast and longtime Levi's executive, Jennifer Say. She was the first gymnast to speak out about the abuse in women's gymnastics. And she pushed back on lockdowns and closed schools during COVID. And for that, she was canceled by corporate America. The horror of wanting kids to go to school. So she started her own brand.
XXXY Athletics is the only athletic brand that actually knows men cannot become women. And it's not a gimmick. They make world-class products from the softest sweats to moisture-wicking performance wear, including leggings, bike shorts, and workout tees that hold up to the toughest workouts.
