Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Tuesday. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Victor Davis Hanson will be here in a few moments to discuss his new book and more in the world of politics and culture. But first, I want to get you updated on the latest fallout in the Lindsay Clancy case. We were all together Friday when the judge finally declared this trial after the jury could not come to a unanimous decision after seven days of deliberations and two months of trial. Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, spent the six-week trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts making the case that Clancy was not criminally responsible for killing her three children due to postpartum psychosis. Well he appeared on ABC's Good Morning America this morning for his first sit-down interview where he bizarrely asked President Trump for a pardon for his client. Watch.

George Stephanopoulos (1:56)

What's next for Lindsay?

Kevin Reddington (1:59)

I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, may very well, Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon.

George Stephanopoulos (2:16)

Thanks for coming in this morning.

Kevin Reddington (2:17)

My pleasure.

Megyn Kelly (2:19)

Well, it would have been nice if George Stephanopoulos would have asked him one follow-up question, which is, why would you be asking for a pardon when your client is charged with a state crime, something for which the president cannot pardon her? What is this fucking couple of dumbasses sitting? I'm sorry, but like, what? George Stephanopoulos has been an anchor for a long time. I think most people understand this. Why wouldn't he follow up with a pardon? What do you mean, a pardon? Your client's been charged under state laws. President Trump can't pardon that. Just like one quick question. And honestly, like this is probably, I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say this is the function of network morning news, where everything is three minutes long. It's like they had seven minutes with the guy. It was an eternity. And, God forbid, you blow a break or you actually just take the time that's necessary to clarify what in God's name your guest is talking about. Instead, you just leave everyone confused. Well, we have sent an email to Reddington's office asking what the hell he's talking about. What do you mean you want President Trump to pardon her?

We are waiting to hear back.

We've all heard those radio ads about owing money to the IRS. They try to scare you and push you into calling out of fear. But tax relief advocates takes a different approach. If you owe the IRS $5,000, $50,000 or even $500,000, TRA has real solutions to fix your tax problem. Don't lose hope. TRA can often reduce or completely eliminate what you owe. Their focus is taxes and helping people and businesses resolve IRS problems. They have more than 1,000 5-star Google reviews and an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. You no longer have to fear the IRS. Generous relief programs exist right now that can give you a clean slate. So act today. Go to tra.com. That's tra.com. Or call 800-575-6845.

Again, that's 800-575-6845.

Tax Relief Advocates. Real solutions for real people.

There is another way to avoid a second trial, and that is a plea deal with prosecutors. Reddington made news this morning when he said he was hopeful that there could be an agreement between his side and the district attorney, Tim Cruz. Watch.
