Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, to talk about Trump's successful address to Congress, the positive response from most Americans, embarrassing actions of Democrats in the room, Trump's delivery and sense of humor on display, the bizarre cane-waving Democrat who got purposely kicked out, Democrats refusing to stand-up and clap for the powerful and touching personal stories of DJ, the 13-year-old with brain cancer who wants to be a police officer, and Jocelyn Nungaray's mother that were told by Trump at the address, the shocking comments by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace connecting DJ to January 6 and anti-Trump rioters, out-of-touch reaction to Trump by the corporate press, and more. Then Mark Halperin, editor and host of 2Way, joins to talk about the contemptible behavior by Democrats who refused to stand up and clap for everyday heroes, the powerful Laken Riley moment, the view by the left that Trump is an illegitimate president, the struggle by Democrats to find Trump messaging that connects with Americans, their cringe efforts on social media that reveal their total inauthenticity, and more. Then Courage is a Habit President Alvin Lui joins to talk about a push to favor providers over parents regarding children and "gender transition," how he and his group are fighting back on behalf of parents and kids, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. We witnessed a norm-breaking presidential address to Congress last night, but not for the reasons the corporate
0:21.7	media will tell you. President Donald Trump gave a speech that was quintessential Trump,
0:27.0	full of surprises and performance and excitement and in a dynamic way that actually
0:33.5	electrified the audience in front of him. Words no one has ever spoken before
0:38.7	about an address to Congress in this setting. It's basically a state of the union, but they call it
0:44.8	just a joint address to Congress because it's his first year in office. And the presumption is
0:50.0	you won't have much to talk about because you've only been in office six weeks. Not this president, not this night.
0:57.2	Obviously, Donald Trump knows good TV and how to deliver it.
1:00.8	The public largely responding very favorably to the speech and not just Republicans.

1:29.8	you don't make Canadian Debbie cry. I've, like, I've rarely seen it. Even she had some tears.
1:35.9	Then there was the one cane-waving Democratic congressman who literally got escorted out of the chamber
1:42.5	early on in the speech. He wanted to make a spectacle of himself, and he did.
1:47.1	Where were the cries of horror from the Democrats in response to that breach of decorum
1:52.3	like we saw with old Joe, what's his name, a couple of years ago, who yelled out,
