Chapter 1: How did Trump deliver his address to Congress?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We witnessed a norm-breaking presidential address to Congress last night, but not for the reasons the corporate media will tell you.
President Donald Trump gave a speech that was quintessential Trump, full of surprises and performance and excitement and in a dynamic way that actually electrified the audience in front of him. Words no one has ever spoken before about an address to Congress in this setting.
It's basically a State of the Union, but they call it just a joint address to Congress because it's his first year in office. And the presumption is you won't have much to talk about because you've only been in office six weeks. Not this president, not this night. Obviously, Donald Trump knows good TV and how to deliver it.
The public largely responding very favorably to the speech and not just Republicans. But the story was very different on the other side of the aisle with Democratic lawmakers refusing to clap or stand multiple times throughout the night for all sorts of very moving, personal, beautiful moments. that typically would see bipartisan support.
I mean, there was one that even brought Canadian Debbie to tears, and she is a hard-hearted news producer. I mean, you don't make Canadian Debbie cry. I've rarely seen it. Even she had some tears. Then there was the one cane-waving Democratic congressman who literally got escorted out of the chamber early on in the speech. He wanted to make a spectacle of himself, and he did.
Where were the cries of horror from the Democrats in response to that breach of decorum like we saw with old Joe, what's his name, a couple of years ago, who yelled out, you lie, to Barack Obama?
And then after the speech was over, you will not believe, I mean, maybe you will, but I think it's still shocking what one MSNBC host had to say in particular about that sweet 13-year-old cancer-surviving boy. We're going to get into it now, starting with Rich Lowry, editor of National Review. Aren't you tired of the corporate media prioritizing certain narratives over the facts?
I am too, of course. That's one of the reasons why we started this show, to have real conversations with tough questions, to try to get to the truth. And this is one of the reasons why I wanna tell you about Ground News, an independent app and website not at the mercy of corporate control.

Chapter 2: What was the reaction of Democrats during Trump's speech?
And at Washington National Airport, it wasn't Reagan then, of course. And there's a guy who I think might have been an off-duty fireman or just a bystander who swam out of the icy Potomac River and saved someone. And Reagan had that person in the balcony recognize his heroism and sacrifice, save this person. So everyone's done this.
Trump's taken it to a different level, though, because things – it's not just recognizing someone to make a point or to honor their – He makes something happen with Limbaugh. Right. He awarded the Medal of Freedom right there. You know, has a secret head of Secret Service come down. So things are happening. So it just goes to he's a showman. Right. And he he envisions this as a show.
And to quote another John Pedort's tweet from last night, it's like it's a version of Oprah. You almost think Trump at some point is going to ask every member of Congress to look under there. their seat there and find their gift. Right. So they can go out happy. At least Republicans would go out happy. Democrats would reject the car. They got a free car last night just on principle.
It's true. Even if he was if he were saying it's for your constituents, each of your constituents is getting one. No, no, it's a no. Exactly. All right. So now we will go to the moment that made Heart of Steel Debbie Murphy cry. I'm giving her a hard time. She's actually a lovely person. But It takes a lot for hard news people to actually shed a tear.
It does, because we're just in this business where we use gallows humor and we cover the darkest events of our times every day for years. She's been with me since I launched my first show in 2007. And this was it. It had to do with Jocelyn Nungare. This was a little girl who was 12 years old who went out to the 7-Eleven and got attacked by two illegals from Venezuela.
And they sexually assaulted her, tortured her, and threw her off a bridge. And her mother was there. This is one of the reasons I personally voted for Donald Trump and ran to the voting booth to do it. I was literally thinking of Jocelyn Ngare. I didn't go to a voting booth. I figured it out. I filled it out by mail. But my point is simply, that's who was on my mind.
This girl's story was so harrowing. And her poor mother, so distraught. And there was no reason for it. There was no reason for it. Joe Biden opened the southern border and killers came across. And the Democrats know it's true. It was done intentionally. And her mother was there last night and President Trump announced an extraordinary thing to remember Jocelyn in Sat 12. Here it is.
Alexis, I promised. that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter. And earlier tonight, I signed an order keeping my word to you. One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much she loved nature. Across Galveston Bay from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge.
a pristine, peaceful 34,000-acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures on the edge of the Gulf of America. Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter, Jocelyn. So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order?
