First of all, right. If you don't think she can do the job, why are you picking her for your VP? Right. So insurance policy. Exactly. His insurance policy. And it's also, it goes to why DEI is falling apart all over the place right now. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And secondly, what I remember Pelosi saying, because remember when she was doing the rounds and she was going well, if Joe thinks she's the best, then she's the best. She's the best choice. Like she wouldn't say it. Nancy Pelosi with like her whole sort of like, it's really time to go. Every time I see her interviewed, she's got like a dirty tissue clumping in her hands.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like, you know what I mean? It's like, just go, just go. Yeah, go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
But to the Kamala thing, what I remember Pelosi saying was like, oh, she's smarter than you think because she spent that Sunday in which she told the American people her first question to Joe when he called was, are you sure? Are you sure you're going to drop out? She hung up the phone and she started whipping calls. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I know how mentally compromised you've been all this time. You know, again, she knows where a lot of those bodies are buried as well. And she, I think, also knew that in this sort of strategic warfare that is this game, it would be Biden's ultimate FU to Obama, who never thought Biden had what it took in the first place. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It's the biggest political story of the last 20 years, I think. I really do. And I don't understand how, as a reporter, you could just shy away from it. I mean, again, if this were a Republican, I mean, all the gloves would be off. You know, he would have been 25th Amendmented or forced to resign. And the whole thing, too, about letting him play out his term as though, well, we owe it to him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I know. I'm sorry. He works for us. Right. It's not the other way around. We don't owe him anything. We don't owe him anything. You got all the money from selling out, you know, national security. This is how much, though, I think people have Biden fatigue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like those photos that came out of Biden and Hunter with those Chinese businessmen where he had said multiple times, I never facilitated a meeting. I was never present at a meeting. Right. but like nobody cares. It's just like, just go, just go take your dirty money and your dirty family and go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Nobody cares. The vintage Corvette that Biden loves to brag about the when the fires were raging. I mean, they're still ongoing, but when they were raging. And Biden finally showed his face and said, I've got one piece of good news. You know, my son lives here and it looks like his house is still standing. Like, oh, you mean that like Malibu beachfront house that like his sugar daddy paid for?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like, are you kidding me? I mean, I would love to also know how Nancy Pelosi got so rich.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
That's just true. In his defense. So, I mean, we got to give him some grace.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I just wish for one, someone would just give it right back. Like this is related and then we'll go right back to this. But the other day at the Hegseth hearing, and you covered this when the, I forget which Congressman or Senator said, Hey, how many of you have shown up on the floor drunk to cast a vote? Like while they're going on with like, have you cheated on your wife?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like how many of them are cheating on like, it's a bastion of moral authority out of here. Right. So anyway, Lawrence O'Donnell interview was also, he's such a blowhard. He's such an insufferable, overfed blowhard. Like he begins the interview by saying, you know, when you were giving your farewell address the other night from the Oval, I was, I was right there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I was sitting right there with your family. And I was looking at you. It's like, he has to let us know he was in the room before we can begin with this bullshit proceeding. You're very important. Thank you. You're so important. You're on your way out the door. Your network is failing. Great. Okay. Enjoy your time in the sun. But it really goes like Biden is part Irish or largely Irish.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And it's like completely counter to the notion of the Irish goodbye. Yes. She's like my favorite thing to do, which is like you just sneak out. Nobody knows you left. You don't have to go through the whole rigmarole, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I would love that for him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
How is that Elon Musk's fault? If you have a job you can't handle, like Biden can't literally handle being president, I... The hypocrisy, okay? So it was Biden's administration that went to Facebook and said, that laptop, Hunter laptop, that's a Russian plant. It's fake news. They're the ones, Twitter-
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
disabled the new york post account because the post was the only one reporting on it and it was fake news fake news fake news it's a media that's been in lockstep with him and has been censoring stuff that they don't quite like you know so spare me yeah bear me is this because mark zuckerberg grew his hair out and said he's getting rid of dei and censorship that's what he's and now he's part of the oligarchy right that keeps the little man down and from getting a job right what
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Right. No. Oh, Megan, the searching. What? Like he was like nodding off. Yes. Almost like a junkie, like nodding off and then like springing back up and like the eyes casting about for the word. And then the like phrase that connects to the thought. But the thought got lost.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I don't understand that. I thought maybe you got it because I got lost early on. I have nothing to add. I can't be helpful. Did he say like Barack used to say to me when I was a kid?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And he also spoke about Bo in the present tense right there. I mean, I blame Jill Biden.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Oh, 100%. But I also would not rule out Biden's malignant narcissism and egotism. And I think, you know, this will sound crass, but I truly think it's true. The only thing keeping him alive at this point is presidential power and access to the money and the celebrities and all of it. And the glory he gets from reading the news coverage of his administration, which mirrors back to him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It's exactly why like he wasn't believing Chuck Schumer because apparently his team was only supposed to give him good news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
the hand gestures are getting even bigger. They are. She looks like she's signing ASL, like some press conference for a governor, you know, like get out. And by the way, it's not like you would ever know that a major American city is being burned to the ground. Like it looks like it's been hit by a nuclear bomb. Yeah. You would never know. No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
These people are like congratulating themselves on the way out the door.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And I don't know if you played the soundbite from her the other day telling Californians what to do, which was like, it was totally inane. We did not play it. Do we have it? We'll find out. Okay. It was basically like- Oh, we did? Oh yeah, we did play. Okay. You did? Yeah. It was basically like, be safe and listen to announcements. Do what you can.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It's like, it's very, you are so right with your Meghan Markle comparison, like the verbosity, like all the words deployed to say nothing. Oh, with nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I did. I thought, wow, I definitely now think my theory that Netflix was the one to pull the plug on her show. And it wasn't her idea or her unilateral decision because had it been, she would have been like, now's the time I go to ground. Nobody needs to see me in this devastation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah, I've got my most concerned face on while reportedly that woman she was hugging was a member of her own team.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah. She saw a camera. She doubled back and it was time for a hug with a concerned face. You know, the baseball cap lid just high enough so we can see everything. Just high enough. Just high enough. I saw footage of her also at like donating like bags of clothes, like cut a check for I know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Again, like failing to ever learn a lesson, read a room. Like, okay, you got called disaster tourists. Take it. Take the hit. First of all, it's true. Good for Justine Bateman. Why'd you go to Uvalde if you're not? Please. That was the most disgusting thing. The most like if there's there's certain people when they do something, I think to myself, I will never put another penny in their pocket.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Right. Alicia Keys, her pro Hamas posts. Totally what she denied. I said never again. Not a penny in her pocket. These people are disgusting. And so they, they feel that we need to know that they are offended by this again, while LA is burning and people are going to be left with nothing. And these people are going to be screwed. Like they have no insurance, the federal government.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It's very exciting. It's very exciting. And you just shared with me that it's moved indoors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like if you try to get help from them, good luck. It's designed to break you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Well, she said in her post, they're all so slippery. She's like... By the way, I didn't start this GoFundMe, so don't blame me. I'm just like being a good person and putting it out there for my brother-in-law who lost like $60,000 worth of musical equipment. Like cry me a river. You lost your instruments. They should have been insured for one. I don't care. So she goes, we're asking for $60,000.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Oh, and if you don't like it, kindly F off. No one's forcing you to do anything, which is not the point. And I cannot tell you how gratifying it was to go through all these sort of comments from people who were like, Mandy Moore, like, I thought you were like a decent person. Like, fuck you. Right. Like you make, she made 23 million reportedly just from this is us alone. That's much.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
She doesn't have to work another day in her life. She could replace that $60,000 worth of musical. Easily. I bet her couch cost her that. Exactly, her custom-made couch. Even Gwyneth Paltrow isn't doing this stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
That's saying something.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And that's not the feels like, you know, when you go on your phone and you're like, check the feels like the real thing. No. And it would be, I don't think that's ever happened before.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Totally what they were doing. I mean, I loved Prince, but one of my favorite things about him, which I learned after he died, was the extent of his charitable donations and how involved he was with programs for underprivileged youth. You never knew it. It was the same with George Michael. You never knew it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It goes to one of my favorite sayings, which is, if you do something good for someone else and more than those two people know about it, you did it for the wrong reason.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
First of all, I've been listening to your coverage about this and the line you had the other day about, well, I might die, but at least I'm in the presence of what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Hey, I was actually at the bank yesterday and next to me at the teller was a firefighter and they were talking about this. He and the teller were talking about this and he said... this is the thing about why we are wary of female firefighters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
He said, we're afraid that they might lose their courage in an emergency, like to run into a burning building with all of that stuff on you, like trying to get people out. I think men who do it are crazy, wonderfully crazy. I'm too afraid. Yes. So the,
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
But also, you know, this sort of ties into Biden because I'm looking at what's going on in California and seeing Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, who is wearing this insufferable smile on her face at all times. Yes. And this fire chief. And it's like there is no such thing as accountability anymore. as shame anymore.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It seems the worse of a job you do, the better you give yourself on a performance ranking. You're like, you think you're doing a five when the public thinks you're doing a zero, when all evidence to the contrary exists, such as your entire town burning to the ground.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
So, I mean, this is tangential, but, um, I was looking at an episode the other night of only murders in the building and cast as an NYPD detective is an obese black woman. And I'm thinking to myself, would she really pass the physical fitness requirement to be a police officer?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yes. Yeah. Yes. But like that's, that's the, that's the messaging we're getting in the mirroring. We're getting like, this is supposed to be like a thing where you don't even realize for a second, like, no, that doesn't fit. Yeah. That doesn't apply. Right. The real, it should not apply. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And this is one of the things that we were supposed to have learned from Afghanistan and Iraq when, you know, an all-volunteer army, very few American men and women really looking to join that fight after a while. And the army and the military had no choice but to lower standards. So they were letting in people who either physically couldn't do it, intellectually didn't have the capabilities.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
You know, I mean, this is a very long tail we're dealing with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
100%. And you also have to think, you know, if you are a young man thinking of joining up, like they're thinking, who's going to be in my foxhole? Is it going to be a DEI hire? Who's going to try to drag me out behind like an assault or not? You know, I mean, it's, it's such a practical, again, common sense thing. And finally, now we're having these grownup discussions about it because it's,
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
They're not going to like my jacket that I'm wearing. The trick is you say it's vintage, buy vintage, came to you through a dead family member, you're recycling, you're upcycling. Right. Yeah. This one already gave its life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
over the past four, eight, 12 years to do so is to be a racist, is to be a bigot, is to be one of my favorite epithets, an ableist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
An ableist. I'm an ableist when it comes to our armed forces. I am. Likewise, you know? So I just, I'm gratified by everything that's sort of happening. And I think what's going to happen in LA is a complete flushing out of this toxicity. Like Gavin Newsom is done. Yep. Karen Bass, I mean, holy. Like, when she was being interrogated, like, after deplaning, but before they, like, let her off.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
By the Sky News reporter? And she's looking at the ground and her eyebrows are knitting as he's asking questions. And I was literally thinking to myself, like, is she, like, functionally a moron?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah. I just, I don't know how we as Americans could turn our backs on the hardworking people who are really going to suffer. I don't know how the federal government just leaves them to it. To me, it's as bad as FEMA people being told to ignore homes with Trump stakes in them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
You stick with these leaders. They are suffering for it. And I do think they're going to learn their lesson.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And you know what the actual truth of it is? And I learned this a long time ago. If you go to buy fake fur, quote unquote fake fur, often it's made from real fur. Oh, really? And the manufacturers just try to sort of dupe you into thinking you're not wearing real fur. Oh. But nothing will get through real fur. You won't feel it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
No. And you know what else is really... I shouldn't be shocked because it's CNN. But I was glued to that coverage and I read everything I could about it. And instead of CNN really going down the rabbit hole of how Biden was able to do this, despite every top general telling him not to do it. Despite every top advisor telling him this is not the way, he went ahead and did it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And people died and babies were thrown over barbed wire fences to U.S. servicemen. The desperation, we left American conspirators behind. We told them, we will protect you. And when push came to shove, we were like, we're out. Sorry, every man for himself.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And it was these ex-military guys, I don't know if Zachary is ex or still, but who took it upon themselves, many remotely from America, to organize people, to organize former Navy SEALs to get these poor people out. But CNN instead thought the better story was, oh, one of these guys is trying to line his pockets. Like, that kind of tells you where their weather vane is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Right. And Wolf Blitzer getting kicked out of primetime and he's getting a morning show. Like what 67 year old is like 76, I think 76. I'd love to get up at 4 a.m., 5 a.m.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
It's, oh, my God, Ted Knight on the Mary Tyler Moore show. That's that. Like, more insane than this woman giving him this little placard, whatever, and is him holding on to it. Right. Like, imagine how many times he's moved offices and told some assistant, like, you got to get that. Don't leave that behind. I'll fire you. Get my sign.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Set your DVR. California only.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Oh my God. Speaking of just, can I say, you know, you, you often say this thing that Roger Ailes told you, which is watch with the sound off and see if you can tell what the story is. The LA wildfires breaking out on Wednesday morning. Is it Abby Phillip? Who's the morning person?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Because she was doing a remote interview with somebody in the field in California and she had her phone in the shot and she was like this. What? It was like she was online shopping while she was getting this, like, incoming dispatch, like, we're burning to the ground over here and there's no water and no one's coming.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Do you know who that reminds me of too? Who? Selena Gomez, who's been on this huge press tour. She's in that movie, that transgender musical. Oh, yeah. Which I refuse to see. Right. I mean, who's going to watch that? No one's going to watch that. But she has the flattest affect. Like she's been doing this press tour like it's her best year ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And she sounds like she's on like medication for like treatment resistant depression.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Well, listen, I don't think you need to justify this to anybody. Okay. I really don't. Apparently I do. Be like Meghan Markle. Stand in your power. Stand in your truth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Okay. I had a different take while reading this indictment, which is a ride. Like when I got to the part with the duffel bag and I'm like, and the women, the women, and I'm like, okay, when does the wife come in? There's a wife here somewhere. She comes in later in the narrative.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
But I was thinking like, I would bet a guy with this level of intellect and a guy who probably likes to take on risky cases, like has a need for some kind of adrenaline like this. Oh. And like in his off time, this is relaxing to him to maybe like literally bet the house, you know? Yeah. To like literally owe people money who would break your legs or kill a loved one if you don't pay up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like there was a part in the indictment where he hired, he was going to play like a super high stakes game. Like if you saw the movie Molly's Game, like you know what these rooms are like. Yeah. And he hired this two professional poker players to watch film or basically game out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
his opponents in a game, the way the mistakes they made, like sort of break down their psyches, then read the mistakes that he made. It was like game film, like a Tom Brady, you know?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
A lot. And, and the amount of like, and the, and the hubris to like go to a bank and be like, give me a $4 million loan while he's got an outstanding $10 million personal loan from somebody else in Beverly Hills. Like I, this case to me is so reminiscent of the ongoing Tom Girardi, Erica Jane scandal. Explain who that is. So Erica Jane is a cast member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
One of the best of the franchise. Yeah. She was a much younger trophy wife to a very famous criminal attorney named and civil attorney, I believe, Tom Girardi, who was most known as the lawyer who litigated for Aaron Brockovich. Oh. So he had that going for him. And he was held in high esteem, and he moved with all the movers and shakers. Turns out, for decades, he had been fleecing his clients.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
So he would represent, he represented the widows and orphans of, like, one of the biggest plane crashes in recent memory. Fleeced them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And he pled dementia at a very crucial time in this case. Oh, you don't know what you're missing. I need to get more involved in the Real Housewives drama. The lawyer in you. I know. Some of the best TV ever. Meanwhile, his wife is saying, well, I didn't know anything and I'm not giving up all the jewelry he gave me with that dirty money. Widows and orphans, I don't care. Be damned.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Widows and orphans, be damned. There's a great Hulu documentary. I think it's called The Housewife and the Hustler. Oh. And they interviewed one of them. Into it. It's amazing. They interviewed one of the victims that he fleeced. I'm going to say quote unquote fleeced. This guy was burned nearly beyond recognition. That he is still alive is a miracle.

He stole the millions and millions this guy was awarded. Oh, wow. And there were women and there were... I mean, like everything. So that's this to me. Like my...

He really does feed off that energy. He really does. And it's like, it's also what a great, because we were just talking before going on air that like I'm going to cover it with like the regular rank and file press corps. And I was dreading being on that riser in that freezing cold weather. It's such a commonsensical thing to do.

100%. But my God. Well, you know, the other thing about that was, oh, my favorite part of that was, so apparently one of the women had her lawyer go to this guy and say, listen, you got to pay us some money for her to keep quiet. And he said, don't bother. I owe so and so 10. I have so many debts. You never see the money. Like, do what you want. Like, I can't. I'm not.

I'm too. Well, forget even about the crime. Think about like how, like when you were starting out in your career or like any of us starting out and like, you know, unpaid bills or outstanding student loan debt can literally keep you up at night. Like decent people are like, oh my God, how am I going to pay this? Yes.

And this guy's like, I'm just going to take a duffel bag and I'm going to cross national boundaries. And I'm going to have like, he had like an offshore account, like in Mauritania, like just what, like, this is like, I want, I want the like scripted and unscripted version.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And it sort of sets the tone for this like incoming administration, which is people just want common sense to rule the day. That's a good point.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Not that guy. The height of respectability.

Right, no, but that's why it's such a great story. And it goes to sort of just like the world we live in right now, where it's like everything you see on social media is actually not what's going on in a person's actual life. You know that story about the- the Hamptons like mom fluencer whose husband committed suicide. So she was all, she had this like account. She was like an influencer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
She was like bragging about her Hamptons lifestyle funded by her husband who was like a multimillionaire. Turns out this guy was pulling a similar shell game, uh, like in the weeks before his death, was like begging people for money to like plug holes. And they were finally like, we can't. You're untrustworthy. He killed himself in the garage. Turns out he left them penniless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Like she had like $8,000 in the account. Like it's this kind of thing. It's like this... the disconnect between what people present themselves to be and what they actually are. And it's endlessly fascinating, really.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I find this fascinating. I have been theorizing for months that something is up in this marriage because she was traveling alone over the summer. Not alone. She was traveling with billionaires, which is how they roll now. But he was nowhere to be found, you know? And... I don't know. They always sort of sold this great love story.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And the way she's talking about him on the Jennifer Hudson show, it was kind of like a distant family member. Pretty lackluster. He's working a lot. And then he's working a lot. And also he happens to be working a lot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah, right. Like I bagged a big one, I guess. I don't know. And she's so... You know, the whole sort of, like, this self-help empire she's built for herself, you know, with her books and her, like, journals and everything. It's just, it all feels very... grubby to me. And for her, you know, this country made her a very wealthy woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
This country made her a very wealthy woman, a very privileged woman. And she can't get out of bed to, I mean, these people fly private. You're not taking more than a day to go to Jimmy Carter's funeral. She had a scheduling conflict, Maureen. Listen, if that scheduling conflict had any import, that conflict would have been detailed. She had a scheduling conflict where,
The Megyn Kelly Show

helping with whatever, whatever, whatever. She's, you know, whatever.

They will wheel the machine to you. Yes. Okay. So, and I also think that now that these rumors have been sort of circulating and there's been speculation in the media about what is going on, there hasn't been a denial. Hmm. Wouldn't you issue a denial if you're a prominent, mega powerful couple like that? Your brand is so intertwined.

But if you did not like that, that there's marital trouble or that he's having an affair with Jennifer Aniston, which is just crazy. That would be amazing. That would be, I mean, like, who would you pick for Barack? Like for wife number two? I mean, I would pick a man. Ah! That's my favorite thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I remember when there was this like doorstopper biography of Barack Obama that came out several years ago. Right. And the New York Times reviewed it and basically said nothing to see here. And then I read somewhere else. The big takeaway was Barack crushing hard on like his male college professor.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Yeah. And was like, could I live as a gay man? Cause I really dig this guy. Like there's nothing to see here.

This lawsuit is incredible. It has it all. I can't believe neither side is, like, giving in. They're, like, digging in further. It feels like a very twisted rom-com to me. Like, the hatred on both sides is so intense, it makes you wonder if there was, like, a deep attraction that whether it was consummated or not... Very interesting. Like, if somebody sort of...
The Megyn Kelly Show

really is doing something that's like aggravating or trying to get in your way professionally, whatever. If you don't really care about them, you just try to get around them. Yes. You don't try to go through them or like work it out with them. You have your assistant or your agent deal with it if you're in Hollywood. Yeah, you just, whatever. But like these two are like in it. They are in it.

And it's like, I think it's extremely strange. I want to know more about the presence of Taylor Swift, who sort of leads this like mean girl clique. There was a thing happening over the summer that the Daily Mail reported on where there were other female artists such as Billie Eilish who were releasing albums in the, in the sort of tailwinds of her last release. I forget what it was called.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I'm just so oversaturated with Taylor Swift. But anyway, she was manipulating all of her new releases to keep these women from hitting number one. It was just a ploy to keep them from, and Billie Eilish's people were like, that's what's happening. That's what's happening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And it's, it's really shitty for someone who claims to be a champion of fellow women and female artists to be doing like, let someone else have it. Like let someone, you know, No. So this is who she runs with. And that tells me everything. And like, I just to sit there and have your husband bully your director. Yes.

You know, like if you don't, if you don't like this, have the balls to do it yourself. Right. Like don't have your husband throw his weight around with your husband.

And in your penthouse, like on your home turf, like using your wealth as leverage. Right. Like showing off. And your friend Taylor. And your friend Taylor, who's like, what is she doing there? Is she just like scrolling Instagram? One of my dragons. Like that is just wild.

New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I think, you know, he'll learn a lot from this, you know, and hopefully, you know, and it's wonderful that we're in this era we're in right now where like people don't automatically take the woman's. account of what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show

My favorite part of what I've read of this suit so far is that Blake Lively did not even read the book that the movie was based on. Correct. And we're not talking War and Peace. This is a book that's probably written at a second-grade reading level.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And then she wanted to... She, like... ixnayed all of the wardrobe choices. Because when you're making a movie about a poor woman who's suffering from domestic violence, you want her to look like she has money. Right. That Blake said. That's what she did. She looks like she has money and she's dressing in florals and then she's going on this press tour
The Megyn Kelly Show

pushing her liquor line and her hair care line because that's what women who are trying to escape with their lives are worried about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And just establish a little rapport, just a little friendly rapport. Like, is that too much to do? Like, this is part of why you're getting paid millions and millions of dollars. The press tour is part of that pay package. Right. You have to show up with a smile on your face and be polite to people who are not lobbying, you know, difficult questions at you.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Because he had to lift her in a scene.

This is also because like they have all the power. This guy, it was his first movie. He was on like one show before this. He bought the rights to this mega selling book and has, I believe, the rights to the sequel. And I think that's something else they're fighting over. Yes. Because the studio definitely wants a sequel because this movie did really well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
So, I mean, first, we're going to get the reality version of this playing out. And I can't wait. I can't wait for the suit into oblivion. You're definitely not going to see the two of them starring in a sequel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
The most surprising thing in that account to me is the detail that Schumer was driven and did not fly private like so many of our politicians do. I would suspect that that conversation was even more pointed. That to me feels like a very polite version because it's easy to forget. It wasn't all that long ago. how stubbornly Biden was hanging on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And I really believe that whether it was Schumer, Pelosi, the both of them basically said, we're going to bury you. Yes. We know where the bodies are buried. Like it's going to get very ugly if you don't voluntarily bury Pull the plug. You have until date certain to do so. That's what I think went down. Like, I'm dying to read the really bloody, savage Roman Empire version of this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Agreed, agreed. And also, so two things. One, I want the Jill Biden story. I want the full unabridged Kitty Kelly National Enquirer version of all the machinations going on. I want to know... Why we are now being subject by this very same media that claims to have learned its lesson to the longest goodbye in modern American history to one of the worst presidents.

Like this feels like the breakup that will not end. Like America broke up with him after that debate. And then we made it really final after the election, which really was like Biden 2.0 with Harris. Like I forgot it was Harris actually, because I keep thinking like we left you. We don't want to litigate this relationship anymore.
