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 the first full day of President Trump's second term. Do you feel relieved? I feel euphoric and also just like crazed. My brain, I feel like somebody put my head like in some sort of a blender. It's
I want to tell you that we had a wonderful trip. Like, actually seeing Trump, you know, take the oath of office. I mean, I actually didn't witness it in person. I mean, via, you know, television like you guys. But being there for it, being at the rally, all this stuff was euphoric. I mean, it was just... It's the dawn of a new day and you could feel it in every way, shape and form.
But the logistics around the inauguration festivities around D.C. were just extremely challenging. And it was the talk of the town because you'd show up at any event and they had this place locked down totally understandably. My God, how many assassination attempts do you need to have on a president before they start to lock down cities? But it was...
It's so challenging to get from A to B, whether it was, you know, the arena where, you know, I was speaking for Trump. So you think, you know, it'd be a little easier to get in, but At turn after turn after turn, you had Secret Service at every block and then the next block and the next block and then you just try to get through and try to get through and try to get through.
And civilians, you know, people who are not speaking, times that by 100. And then at the balls, you know, you'd go, but you couldn't get anywhere near the actual ball unless you happened to be at the right hotel and got on the right shuttle bus and then whatever.
if you were somebody like me or most people, you had to walk maybe four or five, six long blocks in, I mean, it was like just over zero with biting windchill. And the ladies are in ball gowns, yours truly included. So we're freezing. So of course I did have my new fur coat. By the way, I was right. PETA did send me an email about it. And I'm going to tell you something. I kind of love PETA. I
I am somebody who eats animals and wears animal products, but I have a soft spot in my heart for these guys because they've been trying to convert me for many, many years, and they do it really nicely. They're not jerks about it. Anyway, I'll tell you about that, but I did wear my fur, and I have to tell you, it made a big difference.
It really did keep me warm, at least on the areas that it was covering, but that doesn't include the bottom of your legs and your hands and your face and your head and so on. And I was with my family too. So we were all so cold and everybody was so cold. So then you get to the eventual destination and, you know, you go to an inaugural ball. There are thousands of people there, you guys, thousands.
The one we went to was in Union Station. And, um, We're like, how are they going to have a coat check for thousands of people? Well, that was a good question because it was full, but you know, shortly after they got started. So then everybody's in there wearing their coats over their ball gowns and there's tuxedos in it. That's slightly awkward too.
