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. It's Friday and we have a great mix of political news and Hollywood gossip. Some of it involving yours truly. We also wanted to let you know that we are soon going to be dropping an exclusive interview with Colin Carroll.
He is one of those Pentagon officials fired last week reportedly over a leaks investigation. But was it actually something else? He will tell his story in full right now. right here, and we will drop it for you just a bit later. He hasn't spoken out yet publicly, so this will be the first you'll hear from him, and I think you're going to find his testimonial very compelling.
But first, last night I did go to the Time 100. Remember yesterday I was still a little bit on the fence. Do I go? Do I not go? I don't totally believe in these big, you know, red carpet galas. I've been to very, very many of these and I don't know. I just had mixed feelings about it. Um, It's very self-congratulatory, right, to go to something like that. And it's also not true.
You know, I said this last night, with all due respect to time, I don't think they really do pick the most influential people in the country. You know, I think it's really like a PR event for time. And that's fine. You know, I don't want to be ungrateful. I mean, I appreciate being named again, but it's... I have to be honest. These things, they're very navel-gazy. And it's... I don't know.
Can I tell you, I looked around last night. There was not one other conservative in the room. Not one. Not one. You'd find like the occasional civilian who'd come over and be like, hey, I'm one of, you know, your kind. But like not as soon. Now, they did name some like J.D. Vance was named and some other people who, you know, were named as Joe Rogan.
I mean, he's not conservative, but, you know, he voted for Trump. Anyway, they weren't there. But I mean, of the 100, I'd say about six or seven leaned right. Um, it's just the way it is. It's the way it is. Media is the way it is in New York. And so it's just, you know, the things are awkward. Plus let's face it. What do we do on this show?
But criticize the media left and right and up and down all day, every day. And half of them were there. So that's awkward. It's awkward. Um, all right, we're going to get into all the stories in just a minute. Uh, and along for this ride with me today is Mark Halperin. Mark is editor in chief and host of two way on YouTube.
