Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have finally added some policy to their campaign website. Plus, Adam Carolla and Larry Elder join me live from the All In Summit in Los Angeles to talk about the upcoming Democratic primary debate between Trump and Harris.
00:00:00.540Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
00:00:12.400Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We're coming to you live today from the Sirius XM studio in Los Angeles,
00:00:18.580where I will be speaking later at the All In Summit. You know the All In guys, David Sachs and company.
00:00:24.840He's a frequent guest on this show, while they're having just a huge summit with a bunch of mostly tech people.
00:00:31.400I don't know what I'm doing here, but they invited me and I like them, so I said yes.
00:00:34.940It should be pretty interesting. We'll bring you highlights later this week.
00:00:38.200It is debate week, more importantly, with the hugely consequential showdown between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:00:45.940It happens tomorrow night, Tuesday night. And just in time, overnight, the Harris campaign has finally added some policy to her website.
00:00:57.040Remember, it's been all merch and LGBTQ pictures of her in, like, rainbow gear?
00:01:01.680Well, finally, we have some policies. Oh, great, great. I'll bet you the ABC team is like, fantastic.
00:01:06.860Now we've got something to pour over. Later today, Adam Carolla is going to be here, but joining me now, Larry Elder, host of The Larry Elder Show.
00:01:13.400Did you know there's nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent?
00:01:19.840That's right. There's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months in office.
00:01:25.620If the president's able to push these funds out, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID.
00:01:31.560But there is hope. A gold IRA from Birch Gold Group can be an inflation hedge for your savings in these uncertain times.

00:03:15.240And she has been in this state eight years as a DA in the Bay Area, eight years as an AG in California, and then senator and now vice president.
00:03:24.620What's going on in California is a coming attraction to the country if, God forbid, she becomes president.
00:03:30.320So she is hauled up in, I guess, a hotel room right now in Pennsylvania getting ready for the debate.
00:03:40.480Doing debate prep that looks like the real thing.
00:03:43.220They were saying that they created the mock stage.
00:03:45.040They have Philippe Raines, who played Trump when Hillary Clinton was preparing to debate against him, dressed as Trump, acting as Trump, and she's going over and over and over.
00:03:56.820Trump is sitting with people who talk to him about policy.
00:04:00.240He just doesn't do it like she does it.
00:04:02.240But, of course, all of his interviews have been debate prep in a way, and she's done one.
00:04:51.760That said, her job is to somehow divorce herself from the fact that the majority of Americans believe her on the wrong track,
00:04:58.860and they're on the wrong track economically because of the spending, because of the ridiculous amount of money that Joe Biden spent.
00:05:04.720And often she was a tiebreaker in the bills that were the big spending bills.
00:05:08.620She has said that she's the last person in the room whenever Joe Biden makes a major decision that would include Afghanistan, so she owns that.
00:05:15.840So her job tonight is to somehow divorce herself from the bad things and say, I'm a fresh new candidate, even though, frankly, I'm the incumbent.
00:05:44.440And no matter what Donald Trump does, how controlled he is, how he stays focused on the issues, how he concentrates on saying, are you better off now than you were three and a half years ago?
00:06:06.980The average family of four right now is paying around $1,200 a month more for the same goods and services as three and a half years ago.
00:06:13.360We have a direct relationship to compare apples to apples, and if Donald Trump can stay focused on that, he wins.
00:06:19.500The media won't credit him, but the individuals who are watching, swing voters and moderate Democrats who are watching, not influenced by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, will see for themselves the difference.
00:06:58.520And what's interesting about that, Megan, is if you look at studies going back over decades, black people have higher self-esteem than white people.
00:07:06.300Black women have higher self-esteem than white women.
00:07:09.340So if the idea is Donald Trump somehow is demeaning her race, that's only relevant if somehow black people are suffering some sort of inferiority complex when, in fact, they aren't.
00:07:18.260So what difference does it make what he calls her?
00:07:20.300Does it matter to her what he calls her?
00:07:22.320She dismissed the question when she was asked that by Dana Bash.
00:07:50.680And Wolf Blitzer didn't say a damn thing.
00:07:52.400And Joe Biden has, for the entirety of his campaign, claimed that Donald Trump, talking about Charlottesville, said there were good Nazis and bad Nazis on both sides.
00:08:01.800When, in fact, as you well know, he was saying that there were good and bad people on both sides of the debate as to whether there should be a Confederate monument in the public square.
00:08:09.280Jake Tapper on CNN, two and a half years later, says, you know, I went back and I looked at the tape and Donald Trump was not saying there were good fascists and good white nationalists on both sides.
00:08:19.600What he was saying was there were good and bad people on the issue of whether there should be a statue of Robert E. Lee downtown.
00:08:26.260Biden goes on CNN after this and says it again.
00:12:00.66060% of them, 61% say the next president should represent a major change from the Joe Biden era.
00:12:06.740You know, and that's really remarkable when you consider the resistance.
00:12:10.580Media Research Center looked at ABC, NBC, CBS, even though they don't have the same power.
00:12:14.900They used to have the nightly news programs.
00:12:16.620They still probably generate around 30 million people every night.
00:12:19.560And a lot of the other news outlets get their cue from them.
00:12:23.16085% of their coverage of Harris-Waltz has been positive.
00:12:27.86090% of the coverage of Trump-Vance has been negative.
00:12:30.720You consider that and the two-and-a-half-year collusion nonsense, the Hunter Biden laptop story was diminished by 51 intelligence officials, and you had platforms like Facebook and like Twitter shutting down that story.
00:12:43.460You have Mark Zuckerberg spending $419.5 million of his own money on election officials in heavy Democrat areas to get out the Democrat turnout.
00:12:50.360Now, all of that, and the man is still even in the polls.
00:12:53.380Can you imagine what would happen if we had a fair media, a media that didn't have 93% of journalists as registered as something other than Republican?
00:13:01.360Only 7% of journalists are Republican.
00:13:03.320If we had a fair-minded media, this would be a runaway.
00:13:19.500If it weren't for the biased media and how they focus on nonsense that Trump says and they don't focus on the stuff that he says that matters, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
00:13:38.260He tweets out whether he ultimately gets 48% or 45% of the vote, Trump having this level of support is evidence of a profoundly sick society.
00:13:50.180We're sick because we don't see him as the Hitler-esque figure that Aaron does.
00:13:56.180And that is representative of most of the leftist reaction to this New York Times-Siena poll.
00:44:01.740Honestly, I don't think, I think even the Washington Post is not as left as USA Today.
00:44:05.660Dick Cheney picks Kamala Harris, giving conservatives a final path to save the GOP from Trump.
00:44:12.180How is this giving the conservatives a path?
00:44:14.380They've been arguing this more and more, though.
00:44:15.840The GOP needs to lose with Trump in order to learn their lesson about how bad he is.
00:44:18.700New York Times, it potentially helps create a model for deeply conservative voters reluctant to back Mr. Trump to vote for a Democrat for the first time in their lives.
00:47:21.620And I will tell you, I do think, you can hear I was a little nervous, but I will submit, if you hear in his answer, he was too once he heard the question.
00:47:33.880Quote, rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.
00:47:40.460But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir.
00:47:44.480You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
00:47:48.440You said we would be greeted as liberators.
00:47:50.400You said the Iraq insurgency was in the last throes back in 2005.
00:47:54.200And you said that after our intervention, extremists would have to, quote, rethink their strategy of jihad.
00:48:00.800Now, with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with 4,500 American lives lost there,
00:48:06.100what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?
00:48:13.380No, I just fundamentally disagree, Megan.
00:48:17.920You've got to go back and look at the track record.
00:48:21.180We inherited a situation where there was no doubt in anybody's mind about the extent of Saddam's involvement in weapons of mass destruction.
00:48:30.520The left was melting down over that op-ed.
00:49:26.560You didn't vote for this economic downturn and the high inflation, but you could pay for it at the pump, the grocery store, and with growing stacks of unpaid bills.
00:50:54.100Glenn Greenwald just had a tweet that reads as follows.
00:50:56.680If literal Adolf Hitler were found alive and said bad things about Trump, he'd have a popular afternoon show on MSNBC within weeks and a regular stint on Morning Joe.
00:51:54.300You know, so whatever the hot thing is, they'll jump on and they'll jump off.
00:52:00.580Well, that's like Kamala finally updated her website to have some policies on it, which is wonderful because people are starting early voting in Pennsylvania in, I think, eight days.
00:52:12.920And all throughout the website, it's her supposed position on something.
00:52:18.800And then Trump's 2025, Trump's Project 2025 plans to the point where I said to my staff, are they espousing Trump's actual positions or the 2025 project positions?
00:52:30.220Because those are two very different things.
00:52:32.240It's something he's disavowed many times.
00:52:42.100Well, the thing that's, you know, disingenuous on their behalf is there is no footage of Trump saying, I'm down with the 2025 cause and then him circling back and changing his mind.
01:04:52.520And every Subaru commercials, the mixed lesbian couple who rescued the otter, and they're going up into the mountains, and there's no talk about powertrain warranty.
01:05:32.260It's every commercial you now see that's all just hugs and good vibes.
01:05:36.940These are multinational corporations who are firing people, outsourcing to China, doing whatever they can do to save a nickel, polluting the oceans and the waterways.
01:06:03.740No, it's for dumb people to believe that, oh, that's not who they, they're not just some huge Japanese corporation that uses raw materials and stamps.
01:06:16.420She can be super bubbly and loving, but you actually look at her policies.
01:06:19.360And again, ask Lake and Riley whether this is a loving administration.
01:06:22.300Ask the kids, the detransitioners who have had their body parts chopped off under a medical profession that they are endorsing to push this kind of madness on children.
01:06:30.860But this spice shop incident is indicative of exactly this problem because she goes in there, she's hugging, and she's lovey, and she's saying it's time to turn a page on the divisiveness.
01:06:44.340It's time to bring our country together.
01:06:48.560Well, why did she choose Penzi's, all right?
01:06:51.460On its website, Penzi's, which I think is owned by Bill Penzi, who has posted several statements, it's a spice shop, and they have some 49 stores throughout the United States.
01:07:04.440They have a post, it's been there for a while, called About Republicans.
01:07:09.860We really have no hate for Republican voters, none at all, they write.
01:07:13.960And this is by Bill Penzi, we understand, he signs it Bill, I assume it's the CEO, Bill Penzi, who would pen such a thing on their website.
01:07:21.180I actually like and respect most of you guys.
01:07:23.320Sure, there are a growing number that are there for the racism, but I still believe the majority of you have good hearts.
01:07:29.340Going forward, we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we're done pretending the Republican Party's embrace of cruelty and racism, COVID lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are.
01:07:49.560So, they call this America's wokest company.
01:07:52.680She sees this statement ripping on Republicans as they embrace cruelty and racism, and most of them are there for the racism, and has the nerve to walk in there and say,
01:08:04.720I'm here to turn the page on divisiveness, to bring our country together.
01:13:37.340He made the movie Hillbilly Elegy a couple of years ago based on J.D. Vance's bestselling book.
01:13:45.560And good for him for making the movie, even though at that point we knew that J.D. Vance, you know,
01:13:49.620seemed to be more Republican-leaning, but more of a Trump whisperer at that point who could explain the white working class as opposed to,
01:13:56.140you know, it's fine to be a Republican as long as you're never Trump Republican.
01:13:58.920And so he makes this movie about him, and just like Glenn Close, who felt the need to take a shot at J.D. Vance rather than just keeping her piehole shut.
01:15:31.840I'm very surprised and disappointed by much of the rhetoric I'm reading and hearing.
01:15:37.200People do change, and I assume that's the case.
01:15:39.960So he's surprised, disappointed at the rhetoric, and he's concerned about it and really wants people to listen to what they're saying and then vote accordingly.
01:15:49.620Unfortunately, none of that on the Kamala Harris side, none of that when they called him a Hitler, none of that against the complaints that he's a misogynist to actually, in this case, give the other side and say, you know what?
01:16:01.220I know he said some things that are controversial, but the man I came to know was raised by strong women who changed his life, and I have to believe they had a long-lasting effect on this man.
01:16:12.780Yeah, well, it's interesting when you think about a guy like Ron Howard because he'll say things I've heard coming out of their campaign, things you read on Variety and USA Today and LA Times and New York Times.
01:16:29.760Like, there are people in my life who I talk to all the time, they legitimately have no idea about what the story, what the true comments, you know, good people on both sides or whatever.
01:16:46.380I read 10 articles that said, why should I hire, you know, why do I want to vote for a guy who said inject bleach or that, you know, all Muslims were terrorists or something like that.
01:16:57.240I read he said he was going to be a dictator and bloodbath on the, I think, first day's dictator, second day's bloodbath.
01:17:03.220But either way, like, why would I, so to be fair to Ron Howard, he may just be reading this stuff in the places he gets his information, which could be the LA Times, in which case he would think that that's what they're doing, you know.
01:17:40.160The bubble gets their info from within the bubble, and many of them legitimately do not have any idea what is going on outside of that group.
01:17:52.320And when they get their information from CNN, but it could be ABC or NBC.
01:17:58.840It doesn't have to be, you know, MSNBC.
01:18:01.720They get their version of he said school shootings were a nice thing, and then they believe it, and then they form their opinions.
01:18:12.080Now, what is kind of on them is everyone needs to be a little more dubious.
01:18:26.880Yeah, and it's a little bit of a two-way street.
01:18:29.900You'll see conservative things come out that says, you know, Tim Walls said the Holocaust was a good thing.
01:18:37.720You know, and I go, hmm, he probably said something about the Holocaust, but I don't think he – the right media doesn't do it nearly as much, and the left, that's what they do.
01:18:50.620But as a person that consumes information and then has to report it, you know, on the air, you have to kind of put on your hat that has a big question mark on it and kind of go, let me look into this a little more.
01:19:06.320Like, even if – look, if J.D. Vance thought school shootings were good, why would he say that into a microphone in front of a crowd?
01:20:20.220You know, we don't have time to sit around and think about why over the last few years certain things may have happened or may not have happened.
01:20:28.920Probably his wallet looks pretty good.
01:20:31.020His trips to the grocery store are not stressful.
01:20:33.400And this is one of her top people saying, we really don't have time to think about why what happened over the past three and a half years happened.
01:20:41.840So we're at an inflection point, as far as I can tell, which is sort of Subaru good vibes taking over Ford tough, you know, built Ford tough.
01:20:57.900And the people like us go, I'm just a brass taxer.
01:21:03.120I want to know all the information and all the policy, but there's enough.
01:21:09.940And I think I think what it is, is enough men have sort of slid over to the good vibes that made with love departments, probably circulating estrogens and too much plastic and our food and low, low, low testosterone.
01:22:29.980So what they're saying, what Kamala's side is saying is, look, we don't need to get into all the nuts and the bolts of the policies and the feds and the reserve and the oil reserves and drilling and fracking, border.
01:23:17.920It's just going to be these sweeping, empty promises.
01:23:21.020I don't think she's going to drill down on any policies because she's got to stay as close to generic Democrat as she can.
01:23:28.240Although, I mean, as I discussed with Larry Elder, right now that's not working that well for her because that latest New York Times-Siena poll shows her support is not that strong.
01:23:37.500She's not as strong with traditional voting blocs within the Democratic Party as they expected her to be.
01:23:42.360And the only group she's really doing well with, to your point, is women.
01:24:32.100All shall be treated with dignity and respect and love and have zero plans in place.
01:24:38.120When the buses started pulling up and now people are splayed out in the parks and the streets and in the gymnasiums where the taxpayers' kids used to play and so on and so forth.
01:24:48.580That is the actual representation of good vibes policy.
01:25:15.780Not all of them, but generally the women in the Republican Party tend to be feminine and strong and amazing.
01:25:23.020And the men more and more are more masculine.
01:25:26.320And if you look at not all Democrats—a lot of my friends are wonderful Democrats—but the left, the progressive left,
01:25:32.300this is not what a woman is, this sort of afraid, overly emotional, lead with love and let the illegals—that is the worst kind of feminism I've ever seen.
01:25:44.420I don't understand these women at all.
01:25:47.140They don't represent me or any of them.
01:25:48.900And to be clear, you know, Margaret Thatcher was a female who did not embody these thoughts that we speak of.
01:25:58.360And when I talk about this in private, your name comes up as one of the leaders in the clubhouse of females who should not be mistaken for this kind of thinking.
01:26:09.680But it's like, I hate the way it's going.
01:26:12.160Like, the Democrat Party is the party of no spine unless it comes to shutting you up and shoving wokeness down your throat.
01:26:20.020And the Republican Party has all of the strength and the robust nature that's necessary for governing,
01:26:26.440but as a result will be made into demons by that left, which happens to control all of the message boards throughout the country and beyond.
01:26:49.780Feminists—what feminists should be is strong, fierce, smart women who stand up for what they believe in,
01:26:58.980but haven't forgotten the glories of being a woman, the wonders of softness, and not overly emotionalism, but emotionalism, where it's—that's why men love us.
01:27:11.020They need—my husband and I go in to see, like, the decorator, and we're redecorating a room, and it's like the decorator's talking about all the wallpapers and the, you know, sofas.
01:27:21.500And then he gets to the cost, and he's like, well—and he looks at Doug when he says what the number's going to be.
01:30:23.600Adam Carolla stays with us a quick break first.
01:30:25.720If you're tired of the same old coffee from those mega corporations pushing their woke agendas, listen up.
01:30:31.120It's time to take a stand and support a brand that truly embodies American values, Blackout Coffee.
01:30:36.600They stand with hardworking Americans who believe in family, faith and freedom.
01:30:41.220They roast some of the most incredible coffee you will ever taste using only premium grade beans, roasted and shipped to you within 48 hours.
01:30:49.280And for the cold brew fans, Blackout Coffee is excited to announce the launch of their two new ready to drink cold brew coffee latte options.
01:31:18.160I'm Megan Kelly, host of The Megan Kelly Show on Sirius XM.
01:31:23.860It's your home for open, honest and provocative conversations with the most interesting and important political, legal and cultural figures today.
01:31:31.920You can catch The Megan Kelly Show on Triumph, a Sirius XM channel featuring lots of hosts you may know and probably love.
01:31:39.280Great people like Dr. Laura, Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace, Dave Ramsey and yours truly, Megan Kelly.
01:31:45.760You can stream The Megan Kelly Show on Sirius XM at home or anywhere you are.
01:32:28.020And this, a new study by the Media Research Center, finds that of the big three evening newscasts, none of which is pro-Trump, ABC's World News Tonight, which is hosted by David Muir, who's going to be one of the debate moderators, has been the most positive toward Harris and the most hostile to Donald Trump.
01:32:48.200MRC analysts reviewed all 100 campaign stories that aired on World News Tonight from the day Harris entered the race on July 21 through September 6th.
01:32:57.020Including weekends, the analysis found 25 clearly positive statements about Harris from reporters, anchors, voters and other nonpartisan sources with zero negative statements.
01:33:06.520That computes to a gravity-defying 100% positive spin score for the vice president.
01:33:13.080As for Trump, our analysts found just five clearly positive comments versus 66 negative statements for a dismal 7% positive, 93% negative spin score.
01:33:26.700This will be our debate host tomorrow night.
01:33:31.520So it's also, it's an interesting rule that we sort of struck with the left and the progressives, which is, all right, so you get your progressive moderators to do the debate.
01:33:46.480But what if we want, on the next debate, someone who thinks more aligned with us?
01:33:52.060And they're like, well, we can't do that.
01:35:32.480So tomorrow night, what do you think Trump's got to do?
01:35:35.320Because it is neck and neck right now.
01:35:37.160And if you look at how it's going, Trump is doing pretty well in these polls that had him considerably behind, for example, in 16, where he won.
01:35:47.900And way behind in 2020, where he did lose, but only by a smidge.
01:35:53.220And now they're showing him up or at least tied.
01:35:57.620So, you know, the smart man's bet is it's his to lose.
01:36:00.460Nate Silver saying he's got a 63 percent chance of winning.
01:36:03.120So what do you think he needs to do tomorrow?
01:36:06.640I think Trump needs to kind of take a page out of Biden's playbook, which is less is more.
01:36:12.800You know, Kamala Harris has to kind of go, here's who I am.
01:37:53.640I mean, that's what happened to Biden.
01:37:55.280He just sat and 90 seconds felt like two days when he was trying to cobble those answers together.
01:38:05.280It's crazy if he doesn't get the fact that 10.4 million illegals have come in under Joe Biden, under the official numbers, and it was 2.3 under Trump.
01:38:32.260Trump is not that good with the stats, but if he just keeps saying immigration, immigration, economy, economy, inflation, I do think it'll work well.
