I don't understand how these women think their only road to financial success is to marry a rich guy or get pregnant by a rich guy and make him pay for your lifestyle. To me, it's so disempowering. Go earn your own money. If you want to be rich, if you want a nice damn apartment, why don't you work? Why don't you earn it? Why are you just trying to bag some rich guy? It's so up. It's wrong.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
It's just, I feel like, okay. And then I'm almost done. If you do bang the rich guy, and if you do get pregnant with his child, then when it doesn't work out, Be dignified about it. Don't go on Twitter. I don't believe her on the tabloid story. I don't believe her because it doesn't seem like she doesn't want publicity. She did the whole big spread with the New York Post. She wants publicity.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
Even if a tabloid was about to break it, then they break it and you say nothing. That's the classy highbrow way of handling this. She seems to want the attention and also at the same time want our sympathy. And I'm having a really difficult time giving it to her.

This week, we've been following the trial of Hunter Biden on charges he illegally purchased and possessed a gun while he was abusing drugs back in 2018. Well, that same year, just weeks before he bought that gun, a young woman from Arkansas gave birth to his child, a little girl. For years, Hunter Biden denied that he was the father of Navy Joan Roberts until a DNA test proved otherwise.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
After that, Hunter Biden finally started to support the child financially, only to come back and ask to pay much less than he had originally promised. Through it all, President Joe Biden, who prides himself on telling us about what a close knit family he has, refused to acknowledge this little girl at all.

After Joe Biden was elected president at Christmastime in 2021 and 2022, the Bidens decorated a White House fireplace with stockings stitched with the names of six grandchildren. No stocking for their seventh little Navy. In fact, as recently as April 2023, President Biden suggested on camera that he only had six, not seven grandchildren.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
But last year, Little Navy's mother, London Roberts, and Hunter reached a new agreement. And President Biden finally acknowledged Navy in a statement put out late on a Friday on a summer evening. London Roberts is out later this summer with a tell-all book. It is called Out of the Shadows, My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden. And it's available for pre-order now. And it is riveting.

You write in the book, it's pretty extraordinary that you hear on the other side of the doorway, the F word. So you go in, you push the door open, wondering what's happening there. And you see a man sitting in an office chair, leaning over a small desk, meticulously organizing a series of small glass tubes and copper strands. He looks determined.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
He isn't wearing after party clothes like everyone else. Instead, he's sitting there in brightly colored boxer briefs with parrots all over them. I'm intrigued. He turns in his chair and catches me in his stare, his gaze intense with furrowed brows and the most beautiful blue-gray eyes I've ever seen.
Candace
Announcing My Next Investigative Series… | Candace Ep 151
What an amazing thing, London, to think that man who you met in that moment would become the father. of Little Navy, your only child. I mean, your only child, at least soon at that point. Right. So when you look back at that moment, what made you stay and continue talking to this man when you met him in his boxers with drug paraphernalia everywhere?

The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
So yesterday we had hearings for Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard and the second day for RFKJ. I sat in for an hour plus of the Tulsi hearing and it was rather disheartening. I did not feel encouraged about her chances by the time I was done. But then later I felt encouraged when I heard what Susan Collins said.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
To me, it's so infuriating. I give my kids all the vaccines. They're not vaccine injured, thank God. By the way, highly recommend the shingles vaccine as an adult because you can get it in your eye. It's just disgusting. Anyway, apparently it's very painful too, but that's an adult. That's an adult decision. You can decide whether you want these vaccines or not. But...
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Bobby Kennedy, they were all over him on the vaccines. As the audience now knows, he was on the show for four hours. We just spent two, two full hours on vaccines and not covid vaccines. These vaccines that he's getting cross examined over MMR vaccine and his long history of alleged vaccine denialism that he got cross examined over, over and over and over and over again.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
And the long and the short of it is Bobby Kennedy jumped up and down and said, there's mercury in these vaccines, and I don't know that it's safe. And they said, you're crazy. It's totally safe. You're a nutcase. And what wound up happening? They took it out. And we went to all of Bobby Kennedy's critics who said, He's got this problem with mercury in the vaccines. Mercury is totally safe.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
It's safe. It's safe. And then Bobby Kennedy came out and he explained this all on our show about how it was methylmercury that they were saying was safe. But and they said that it was problematic, but it was this other ethylmercury. And long story short, the one that they said was totally unassailable stayed in the brain of the monkeys that were tested for months afterward.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
It's he explains it all. All right. Good luck challenging him on the science behind the vaccines. The bottom line is they took out the mercury that the same group that had been saying it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, took it out. Not because of him. They had a closed door meeting and they said, you know what, let's let's remove it. But there's nothing to see here.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
There's nothing to see here. And then they put aluminum in these vaccines, which works. It's not exactly a preservative. It does something else for the vaccines. But that, too, is a potential neurotoxin. And then they say, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing. Just shove it in your baby and don't give it two thoughts.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin

But all of this is going on while the toxic stew that our children are swimming in was growing exponentially from the pollutants in their water and the fluorine and the chloride to the pollutants in their food to the pollutants that is on your sofa and the baby toys and the baby bottles and all around them. And Bobby Kennedy has been saying, can we just pause a little to figure out

who is this kind of Democrat masquerading as a Republican from Maine, said about her impressions. I mean, Trump lost her on Hegseth. I don't think he's going to get her on RFKJ. I don't know. But here's what I saw when she cross-examined Tulsi yesterday. Let's start there. Look at this exchange in SOT9. Have you ever knowingly met with any members, leaders, or affiliates of Hezbollah?
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
what's causing this? Why are the allergies doing this? Why are the ticks doing this? Why is the autism doing this? Why was this something you never even heard of when I was a child to something that is one in 30 now? And they look at him and they say, you're a kook. You're dangerous. You, you're dangerous. It's infuriating.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
It's infuriating to be standing on my side of the aisle with children or yours and to just, and again, with, with God, Thank God, perfectly healthy children to say, why are you so determined to stop the questions? And the COVID vaccine is even a more persuasive case where you've got young boys, 15 year old boys with myocarditis dying, dying, and they won't acknowledge it.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin

It's truly like the warning labels are like, you could try this to decrease your skin itchiness, but it may cause testicular boils. It's like, wait, whoa, whoa.

The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Who in their right mind would sign on to that? I do want to say this to Senator Cassidy, whose vote we really need in with all due respect. And by the way, I asked the audience to call his office yesterday and give him the number. And I said I would call. And I did. I personally called. It was actually very funny. They took the number down. The guy was like, the the Megyn Kelly?
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
I'm like, yes, the Megyn Kelly. I want you. And he was like, do you live in Louisiana? I'm like, no, but I have a loud mouth and I have a lot of listeners who do. OK, they took the number down. But here's the email that you're supposed I asked. And they told me the email is Hannah H-A-N-N-A-H underscore bar B-A-R-R at Cassidy dot Senate dot gov.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
No, and it is an absurd accusation. Okay, so there's Tulsi pushing back on her. The cross-examination by Susan Collins wasn't particularly aggressive, but it kind of sounded like that. You could argue that she was just giving her a chance to respond to the things that have been alleged about her. But you could hear Tulsi sort of taking issue with even the suggestion.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Hannah underscore bar H-A-N-N-A-H underscore B-A-R-R at Cassidy dot Senate dot gov. And I think with all due respect to Hannah, and I'm sure she's a lovely person, and Senator Cassidy follows me on X, so I'm sure he saw the post I sent his way yesterday. They need to hear from us directly. And here's why I feel so passionately about it, Charlie.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Forget all that stuff about MMR vaccine, which will not be banned. Trump has said it will not be banned. Bobby has said it will not be banned. Bobby's past work to ask questions about it is in the past. He's not going to make this an issue. He's made that really clear. He has his beliefs about it, but Trump is the boss.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Look at the COVID vaccine and what you said, how no one's allowed to ask questions about it. One of the people I ran into when I showed up at the RFKJ hearing was a guy named Carl Warner. And, and I know Kyle, Kyle Warner, because he came on the show.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Exactly right. He's a mountain biker. And he came on the show during the height of the COVID nonsense and told his story. He's from, he lives in Oregon. All right. This is not some far right dude and talked about what happened to him after this vaccine. And, And here's a clip of it. Watch.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
I don't I'm only anxious now because my heart is racing and I'm worried about my heart. It's episode 222. It's very worth your time to go back and listen to Kyle's story. There's a reason he showed up. This is about more than the MMR vaccine, which is fine. It's in place. It's not going anywhere.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
It's about a whole, I know it gets overused, but medical industrial complex that cares more about hooking you on drugs like SSRIs and taking every single vaccine so that they can make a ton of money like Pfizer did, like Moderna did. They cannot be sued. And then they don't care. When you get vaccine injured like Kyle, they don't give a shit. Well, RFKJ cares. Jay Bhattacharya is going to care.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Marty McCary, ideally at FDA, is going to care. And you need a disruptor like RFKJ at the top to run herd on it. Someone who will not be bullied by these behemoths who have more money than God.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Well, after the fact, Collins said, I was happy. with her responses to my questions. That, too, is a little ambiguous. What does that mean? Like you were happy she fully answered them or you liked what you heard? But I think it's somewhat positive. Net net. I don't think she would have used the word happy if she were going to vote against her.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
What is Callie Means saying? What is Dr. Casey Means behind him saying? They are talking about the toxins all throughout our society. Nicole Shanahan, who is RFKG's running mate. All these people are talking about what causes the obesity. You know, you may be right that it's not entirely your fault, but the solution for a 13-year-old is not Ozempic.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
It's to get him off of nonstop processed foods, which make you more fat to get him off of seed oils, which I mean, go back. And there's a lot of medical research on this now that talk about how that makes you more prone to hold on to your fat. Why are we demonizing meat? Right. And lionizing bread for these kids like that. This this team is going to stop all of that.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
And they're just, you know, whistling into the wind right now because they're being painted as a bunch of new age kooks. I totally agree with you. And honestly, like I know Ozempic has helped a lot of people, but it is a totally different game when you are an adult and you are capable of assessing risk versus being a child. I also want to say something else. There was a. Singer?
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
I saw her video on X. I didn't know this young woman. But she said she was only like 19 or 20 and she went on Ozempic and she was warning everybody that it caused massive bone density loss, that she was already suffering from osteoporosis and osteoporina. I forget the word.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Yeah. This is – I suffered from osteoporosis. This is years ago. This is even before Ozempic was a thing. I just wound up having kind of old lady bones. I don't know why. It happens a lot to thin women who aren't like – it can be helpful to be a heavier person because like you're pounding your bones while you walk and a lot of thin women wind up with this condition.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Anyway, not for nothing, I've said this before, but I did go on this once a month injectable drug called E-Venity for whatever it's worth for 12 months. And truly it like cured the osteoporosis. Like it was gone. And yeah, I got to do a maintenance routine for like a year, the three years I think it is. But it's a miracle. For me, it was a miracle drug. Check with your own doctor, do all that.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
But I just wanted that young woman. I don't know how to reach this young woman, but I'm like, she should know about this. Not everybody knows about this drug. Okay, so anyway. That's RFKJ. I don't know what's going to happen with him. Do you want to handicap that one?
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Now, that doesn't answer the question of whether Tulsi gets through, because there are a lot of Republican senators there who seem to not like fans of Tulsi's. Cornyn of Texas, Lankford of Oklahoma, they did not seem like fans, Charlie. And she certainly had a few Democrats who seemed very against her. So what do you think is going to happen with Tulsi?
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
The risk in them doing it is – what we think is that if she – if they sink her nomination, it will be the Republicans who sink her. I mean that's what's going to happen here because they have the majority.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
But they were even harder on her yesterday than the Dems. Honestly, it was like – it was tough to find somebody who sounded like they were going to defend her. She handled herself beautifully. I mean she was – articulate and poised and strong and unflappable. It was to the point where I was there and I brought my assistant, Abby, who comes with me pretty much everywhere.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
And Abby's got two young daughters. And she said, I'm going to make my daughters watch this. I want them to see this. She always looks for strong, articulate women so she can show her young girls. Look at that. Like that's possible. You can be that. And that's so great. That's how strong she was. She never, never lost her cool. I mean, it was actually an example in how to handle yourself.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
There was absolutely no warmth coming her way from the other side of the aisle. I mean, I should mean, I mean, across the hearing room, whether you were on the left or the right. So I left worried. And my pal Glenn Greenwald, who's a big Tulsi advocate, is worried, too. And I just don't even know what to do to help her, Charlie. I don't I'm not sure.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
All right, let's talk about RFKJ. So I didn't get to the soundbite yesterday, but there was a pretty extraordinary... There were a couple of extraordinary exchanges in his day two in front of the health committee confirmation hearing. He had to go through two. And Rand Paul is just a star. I mean, he... Good luck challenging Rand Paul on medical issues. Just ask Dr. Fauci how that went.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
Rand Paul is one of the reasons Dr. Fauci felt he needed a pardon because it seemed clear that Dr. Fauci lied to Rand Paul's face repeatedly while under oath about his gain of function, involvement, and so on. And Rand Paul just knew the questions to ask Dr. Fauci during the relevant time. He's been very fearless.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
So he used his time at this confirmation hearing to respond to Senator Cassidy, who also is a doctor. And Senator Cassidy of Louisiana. Cassidy's a problem. He's a problem. He's a pivotal, pivotal vote on this. So I'm going to set it up by showing you Cassidy and RFKJ on vaccines. And then I'm going to show Rand Paul using his time to respond to it. I mean, it may all come down to this.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
So take a look at Cassidy in SOC 20.
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace with Minda Harts
So in response to that, here's Rand Paul, Sat 21.

Correct. Bravo, which is owned by NBC, had a real housewife in Washington. And there was a push to not cancel her, but get her in trouble. And so we had a discussion on my show where I asked, when did that become unacceptable? Because when I grew up in the 70s and the 80s, people used to do it, and it was considered okay. And at the time, I knew that. I knew that had been my experience.

And I, whatever, kicked the tires on this new lane and thought, this is what I want to do. Why? Because I was my own boss. I could be in charge of all my own editorial.

But if you really want to make it as an individual, like in this lane, without a platform supporting you, you know, where they're tuning in because it's Fox News, you know, and you just follow the person before you who they really liked. There has to be a connection between your audience and you. Otherwise, what's the point?
The Daily

And so I did start to share more of my own opinions. And frankly, I started to form more of my own opinions. Tell me about that. Form your own opinions. Well, because I was never really that political, as I said, growing up. One of the reasons I think I did well at Fox in the news division was I didn't really feel the need to choose a side.
The Daily
'The Interview': Megyn Kelly Is Embracing Her Bias and Rejecting the 'Old Rules'
I just felt the need to learn everything I could about both of the sides and then mediate a good debate. Then it wasn't until really I got on this show that it was a different job. It was more like they wanted to know what I thought. That was clear. The audience wanted to know my opinion. And so on a lot of subjects, I had to really start thinking about them.

And you know I've expressed doubts about him in the past about some of the choices he's made when it came to dealing with women. But there is no other choice for women in this election.

potentially make a difference for him with a certain set of people who were looking for permission to vote for him because they'd been told universally that he was bad, that he was Hitler, that he was a rapist, that all these things that people have been saying.

Yeah. So I don't agree with you on the credibly accused. I actually don't believe that. But with respect to my own situation, you have to zoom out and look what was happening at the time, which was not easy for me when I was going through it. But Trump was trying to win a presidential election. And so, as I pointed out earlier, it was useful to him to have me as a foil.

Look, you have to separate when you're in this business. You the person and you the professional. Megyn Kelly the woman and Megyn Kelly the brand. And they were attacking Megyn Kelly the brand, which is fair game. You know, I had thrown a very tough ball right at Trump's face in that debate.

Look, I've been very public about thinking he went too far. You know, that's how I felt at the time. And if I could go back and undo it, I would. But I have a better perspective on why it happened now. You know, it was actually an important piece of his rise within the Republican Party in the primary. And it just showed people what a fighter he was.

No, I'm still a journalist. I mean, I break news all the time, and when I sit with Trump or anybody else in the administration, I ask tough questions.

You know, I've hit them all. Right before the election, I ripped on Trump's Madison Square Garden rally as too bro-tastic and got specific about why.

What typically happens in journalism is they say they have no bias and then they just work it out in the printed word or on their shows without owning it. But the audience knows it and it creates a distrust and a divide. When it comes to Trump and me, no. My own personal opinion is most of the allegations against him are much more complicated than the mainstream media would have you believe.

And I don't think Donald Trump is a rapist or a sexual assaulter. I do think he's taken inappropriate liberties with women and gotten handsy with them in a way he's owned himself. Okay?

The reality right now or the way it's been for the past three decades prior to the last couple of years is everyone is siloed and they're all getting only leftist information.

The Wall Street Journal is doing okay. And that's it. You've had talk radio, which was the only place conservatives could go to hear their ideas debated in a way that wasn't disdainful.

Because there are more conservatives in the country now than there are liberals. The country's more right-leaning than it is left.

And Republicans have had this one strain, and Fox News has been very important, but they needed to invent a new area of thought because even Fox wasn't enough and actually didn't represent all Republican voices.

I'm in favor of it. Yeah. I share his feelings. Like most people on the right, I have a healthy amount of loathing for a large portion of the media. And they are fake news.

And rather than proving him wrong, they leaned in and tried extra hard to really convince people of what he was saying. That's what happened, especially over Trump 1.0. He played a role, but it was really their decision, but they needed a little bit of help and he provided it.

Pete Hegseth is an interesting one.

The latter. I really wasn't political. I was raised a Democrat, sort of. We never talked about politics in my household, but I knew my parents were Democrats. And, you know, my Nana, God bless her, she lived to 101. She used to say, Republicans are for rich people. We're not rich. She's from New Jersey. That's her New Jersey accent.

I think at that time he was still a contributor. And he said, you've got to get your tape to Kim Hume. I said, oh, I think maybe I'm too green. I don't know. I knew Fox was like a thing.

And Roger Ailes was the first one to say to me, how did a daughter of two Democrats, a nurse and a college professor, wind up a fair and balanced person? And he was not saying I want a Republican who does news the Republican way. And even when I was starting to anchor on Fox, he loved it. If I had a contentious interview with a Republican... He never said, like, don't do that.

And in fact, he told other anchors, you should watch Megan. Do more of that.

It's probably because it was good TV. Roger loved Republicans and wasn't too keen on the Democrats. But he would say to me, make sure you smile a lot. And he wasn't wrong about that because if you're all sharp elbows, it's off-putting and someone doesn't see anything in you to connect with.

But, you know, when I went out on the air for contentious interviews, I always approached them with somewhat more of a prosecutorial approach. Even though I never was a prosecutor, people mistake that about me. It's just more how I am, especially if there's somebody who I think is a villain. And every time I did it, I only got rewarded. I never got my hand slapped by Roger.

You know, he did think it made good TV, and that's the nature of broadcast journalism. It's helpful if you're dynamic on the air and if you have a knack for making electric moments. Ask Donald Trump. This is something he knows instinctively. But... I would just follow my instincts.

Well, initially he was annoyed. I think it was sincere anger that night. He did not appreciate that question. And I think he thought we were friends. So he was even more annoyed by it.

I'd interviewed him quite a few times on Fox in my younger years. There was a very funny exchange, I think in 2010, where He let me feel his hair to see whether it was real.

And he kind of put me in this category of she's on my team. And while I had nothing against him and I wasn't not on his team prior to that moment, as you know, as soon as they throw their hat in the political ring, when you're a straight news journalist, it becomes somewhat adversarial. You know, you're not on their team. And in fact, you get paid to be somewhat abrasive toward them.

Michael Cohen had said this in defense of Trump, who had been accused by his first wife, Ivana, of having raped her in the course of their first marriage or divorce or in some explosive argument, an allegation she later recanted.

And then he kept calling Fox executives and complaining about me. I think his spidey senses were up that

You know, maybe I'm not in the friend camp anymore and something could happen at this debate that might not be good for him. So here's the second thing. So in the beginning, I think he was genuinely angry. But I think it quickly turned to he liked it as a storyline. And he wasn't wrong that it was good for him to show the world and in particular America.

Very much so, yes. They weren't really angry about the Trump stuff. They were angry about me not supporting Roger. And they never got past it.

Hannity and I fought publicly over what he perceived as my non-support of Trump. So that's not a surprise to anybody. But for the most part, no one cared about that.

The Daily
'The Interview': Megyn Kelly Is Embracing Her Bias and Rejecting the 'Old Rules'
When you asked me that question, I got a chill through my body. That's how big that moment was for me. It's like one of the hardest, most complicated things I've ever done because I really cared about Roger. And we had gotten past his harassment of me, which, for the record, never led anywhere. I did not submit to any of his advances. And I had forgiven him, and he had done so much for me.
The Daily

And I did not want to hurt him. And I didn't like Gretchen Carlson, who was kind of looking for help, you know, in a way. The whole question was, could he be this thing that she's alleged he is?

And I was under a lot of pressure from Roger's team and Roger and his wife to come out and say, he's not this thing and he's incapable of being this thing, which is what everyone was saying.

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I mean, obviously he's declassifying it by posting it himself in just what looks like a pretty significant show of American firepower from the air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And now, Rick, there's a lot of speculation about whether this is not only a message to any foreign terrorist, but perhaps one to the drug cartels along the Mexican border, who we've deemed foreign terrorists, that if they don't get in line, they could be in a lot of trouble, just like these Somalia ISIS workers, that their threat over the weekend to drone attack ICE agents is not being well-received.

and they're messing with the wrong first world nation. Your thoughts on all of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
We weren't sure what it was, but Rick, of course, has a lot of international experience, former ambassador to Germany, former acting DNI, was at the UN for a long time. I mean, he knows what he's doing overseas. And now we're starting to get a better feel for how Trump intends to use him, and it's, boy, for the good of the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I love the warning of it. And it was amazing because I think a lot of us have kind of forgotten about ISIS. We thought Trump took care of that. And like Biden have been took our eyes off that ball, though Biden's the commander in chief or was and had an obligation to keep paying attention. Marco Rubio went down on his first foreign international trip to Panama.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I sat with him last week just as he was about to depart. And he made clear that one of the main reasons, if not the main reason of going down there, was the growing influence of China.

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
in the canal, that when we gave the canal to Panama, it was explicit that they would not allow it to fall under the control of another foreign entity, and that it certainly shouldn't be China, and that what they're doing now is they're building all these sort of corporate concerns along the Panama Canal that are owned by the Chinese that could be flipped like that into military strongholds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
So we're just not going to have it. And Trump has said, we want this canal back. So Marco Rui goes down there. Here's what he told me on Thursday, Satu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
So what we learned today is that the Financial Post is reporting Panama promised free passage to U.S. warships, Rubio saying he was going to demand that. He got it. And on top of that, the Panamanian president says he will not renew the Belt and Road deal with China as we are demanding less influence. that he said their sovereignty is not up for debate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He doesn't want to give us the canal, but he said that they would not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China's overseas development initiative known as the Belt and Road, suggested that the deal with China could in fact even end early. All good, all great. That's a W for us. But then the big boss weighed in, just in case people were clear, like that's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But, and here's what Trump said yesterday, it's not three.

We've already seen his diplomacy in action as he returned this past Friday night from Venezuela and not alone. He brought with him six Americans who were being effectively held hostage by the Maduro regime. Here to tell that story is Rick Grinnell.

The last question, and by the way, speaking of Kristi Noem and Venezuela, the Trump administration also ended temporary immigration program, the temporary immigration program for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. She revoked one of two temporary protected status designations for Venezuela. It's by far the biggest of its kind, protecting more than... 600,000 migrants from deportation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
So no more. We're saying you do not have temporary protected status. You got to go home. Go back to Venezuela. And thanks to Rick Bunnell, President Maduro is going to move in. Yeah. He's going to fly you back home. You're going to go see mom. Good luck with that. Last quick question before we go.

Elon's all over Twitter saying that he has shut down USAID, this organization that they say they're running like humanitarian aid and other benevolent programs for foreign aid groups that we support.

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's not that there was a worm in the apple, he said. It's that all we found were worms. And the workers who work for USAID got a notification last night, don't come to work. Stay at home. You're on paid leave. And there's a question about whether this thing is even opening its doors. Why should Americans care? And what do you make of the freak out on the left about this?

the problem is it's become a left-wing organization that just funds its favorite causes. There is a report out today about how Bill Kristol set up some group that's through some backend, gets money from USAID, unconfirmed. He does not appear to have denied it yet, but I'll check. So we're funding these left-wing groups through the Biden administration under the auspices of like

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
We're going to help the sick and the poor in Africa and winds up in the back pocket of somebody like Bill Kristol. It's a no. At a minimum, it deserves to be to get a hard second look and to stop the funding until we can figure out, as President Trump infamously once said, what the hell is going on? Rick Grinnell, thank you so much and congrats. What a huge victory for us all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Wow. It's amazing. I'll look at like, it truly is so much winning, right? Are you tired of all the winning? I'm not tired of all the winning. I mean, think about it. Like these six to 12 guys are languishing in Venezuela. And the reason it was a win for Maduro to sit with Rick is because we haven't recognized that government, you know, there, there, he lost the election, but he wouldn't leave.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And so our, we weren't recognizing him, but you know, He's not leaving and we have Americans stranded there. And what Rick is saying is that the mere fact that he was willing to be seen on camera with him is a win for the guy. And does that really cost us so much to get back our people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And by the way, to have him willingly take back his people who are far worse than our people we're talking about here, six to 12 Americans who appear to have been falsely accused versus hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are in part gang members committing crimes in America. There's a lot happening. We're going to get into more of this when Stu Berger joins us right after the break.

In addition to all the foreign policy news that's happening today, and there's a lot of it, you've got the tariff situation where Trump got all this negative...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
news coverage over the weekend because he threatened, he said, as of Saturday, he said, I am jacking up tariffs on Canadian goods by 25%, Mexico by 25% and China by 10% because he'd already raised the tariffs on China, which Joe Biden then kept in place after criticizing Trump for the tariffs, but kept them because they were working. Um, And Trump said they're going into effect on Tuesday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's happening. I want a better fair trade situation with Canada and some crackdown on the border. And I want a serious crackdown on the Mexican border from the Mexicans. Well, you know, cue the Harry Enten segment over on CNN about how many people do not want this. They're very against the tariffs. Okay. I think the average person doesn't think about tariffs at all.

Maybe doesn't even fully appreciate what it is. They've just been told by every media outlet, left and right, that this is a colossally bad idea. Go find the media outlet that's going to explain why this is a clever idea, such that both parties wound up agreeing to it, Trump, then Biden, when it comes to China. That's not out there. Anyway, Mexico is already caved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And we get the news this morning that Mexico has agreed to put 10,000 troops along the southern border in addition to other measures, which I will pull up and go over in one second. But what do you make just of the overall posturing of this thing and where we are after 48 hours?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Mm-hmm. The Mexican president said, this is via the New York Times, that the 10,000 Mexican National Guard troops being sent to the border would be pulled from other parts of the country and would be in addition to security forces already there. She said it was important for humanitarian reasons for Mexico to help control the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And she said there was a plan to deploy the troops immediately. I mean, who in their right mind thinks that's a bad idea, right? There's, this isn't the whole ball game, but that's a concession that was gotten within hours of Saturday's announcement by Trump that he meant business on these tariffs and he actually was going to do it. Um, then you've get, you get Trudeau up in Canada, um,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
who starts off by saying, oh, we used to be really good friends and we've helped you out a lot. It's like the first stages of grief, you know, denial. What do you mean? We used to, we go back a long way. And then he says, um, I want to tell you that less than 1% of fentanyl, less than 1% of illegal crossings into the United States come from Canada.

But hearing concerns from both Canadians and Americans, we launched a $1.3 billion border plan. Great. Thank you. It's a start. It's not going to end the deal, but it's a start. Political reported on Friday that a source said Trump's commerce secretary nominee has asked for proof of these efforts regarding Canada's $1.3 billion border plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Apparently they don't believe that Trudeau's actually doing this or actually about to do this. But they announced it, and right now they too are facing a 25% tariff on some $30 billion of U.S. goods starting Tuesday. It will ramp up to $125 billion worth of goods in 21 days if they don't do what Trump wants, which I think goes beyond just this $1.3 billion order plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But it's very interesting because I don't see a ton of positive coverage for President Trump across these same outlets today on how it's working.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And so we'll make you care. If you, if you don't care, we'll get your money involved in this game and then you will care. You'll, you'll care a lot because right now most products from Canada and Mexico into the United States face no tariffs. So this is a big change. If we slap on this 25% tariff to most of their goods, we did make an exclusion on, I think it was Canadian energy. It's down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's a 10% tariff. Um, Crude oil from Canada would suffer only a 10% charge, which the New York Times points out appears to be a tacit acknowledgement by Trump. The tariffs might translate into higher gas taxes or gas prices. He understands what he's doing. Trump himself tweeted out, will there be some pain? Yes, maybe, and maybe not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But we will make America great again and it will all be worth the price that must be paid. We're a country that is now being run with common sense and the results will be spectacular. He said the tariff lobby headed by the globalist and always wrong Wall Street Journal is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China and too many others to name
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
too many others to name, uh, to continue the decades long ripoff of America. We're not going to be the stupid country any longer. And he's all, it seems to be, he's asking Americans to understand maybe there will be some short-term pain in some areas, but trust me, it's for long-term gain. Um, and here's just the latest year. Okay. Hold on. Um, yeah. Okay. So I mentioned the news media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I mean, I saw a lot of reactions on Twitter from well-meaning fans of the president even saying, is it bad that I didn't know we had six Americans being held in Venezuela? So just give us a little background on who these people are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Here's, here's how they're spinning the breakthrough. New York Times made a headline right now. Mexico reaches deal with U.S. to delay Trump tariffs. There's no mention whatsoever of the fact that they're about to send 10,000 troops to the border to help with the illegal problem, the fentanyl problem too. Washington Post does mention it. They say U.S.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
tariffs on Mexico delayed as country agrees to rush 10,000 troops to the border. NBC News, not surprisingly. Makes no mention of it. Trump and Mexico's president say tariffs will be delayed for one month after talks. Not important enough to put the 10,000 troops in the headline. And that's why I mentioned the Harry Enten thing. I know this guy is just taking polling numbers and putting them on TV.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But there's a reason that the vast majority of Americans, I think, are against Trump on the tariffs. Because... Truly, the left doesn't want tariffs. The Wall Street Journal and the Rupert Murdoch types don't want tariffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's really just sort of the core MAGA group that is in favor of them and some group of the left that has been more against free trade and more in favor of, quote, fair trade for some time. But here's what I reference with the Harry Hinton thing. Watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Oh, well, that's promising. But by the way, so where you wait over the next 24 hours and see if there's a one point three billion dollar guarantee from Canada to crack down on border security and 10,000 troops flooding to the border right now in Mexico to crack down on border security in response to Trump's tariff plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
See if that winds its way into your local paper and the headlines, America, because they won't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I have no empathy for Mexico. None, none. They should double the number, 10,000. They're the source of so many of our problems. They dumped the worst criminals who come up through their country into the United States. They allow their drug cartels to run wild at the southern border and are largely responsible for the coyotes and the trafficking of the people into the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Zero sympathy for Mexico. By the way, targeted tariffs are at times terrific, is great alliteration by you, Sturberger. Here's a thread that was on Twitter by Melissa Chen, who is a commentator. I don't exactly know what she writes at The Spectator and elsewhere, but she's a smart commentator. And I've seen her on Rogan and elsewhere, and she's always worth listening to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And she she did a little thread on the what we're doing with respect to trade and China. All right. This is just one example. Again, the Chinese tariffs are only going up 10 percent because we already jacked them. But let me give you a flavor for what Trump is doing here. He's paying attention.

Timu, Shine, and all these tacky fast fashion companies that sell mostly crap have long relied on an unfair and unwarranted trade advantage versus the United States.

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Through this loophole, CPB cannot possibly inspect the items at scale, so things do slip through the cracks, unsafe items, knockoffs, products made with forced labor from China, and yes, chemicals that are used to make fentanyl. To put things in context, in 2022, Gap, the Gap, paid $700 million, while H&M paid $200 million in import taxes. Timu, this company, paid zero.

Free trade, she writes, is not free. It's flooding our markets with cheap, crappy, potentially toxic goods, gutting our own retail markets, and allowing unsavory foreign competitors to exploit loopholes and gain unfair competitive advantages over retailers who have to play by the rule because of geography. Now we've closed it, and Trump shut down these de minimis entries from China. Effective

Tuesday. He's never even going to get credit for these things, Stu. They're too small. People aren't paying attention. But he's clearly got a both guns blazing approach to what used to be lauded by the Republican Party as free trade. But free trade is not working for a lot of Americans.

Wow. So he doesn't explicitly say that she's illegal, but obviously she is if he's presuming the feds would come to get her. And the only thing that would stop them from being successful is Governor Murphy. That's extraordinary.

That's exactly right. Honestly, I'm a homeowner in New Jersey. Maybe I should just stop paying my state taxes on the home and that, you know, I just dare you, Phil Murphy. You think he'd let me get away with just flouting the law because Megyn Kelly doesn't like it? She doesn't agree with it. This is outrageous.

Well, let me start with this. There's two. Jonathan Capehart, this far left guy who has a show on MSNBC, he starts by asking this question. And for the listening audience, every single person on the panel raises their hand. These are all the candidates for the head of DNC. It's SOT16.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You all passed. Jonathan Capehart will decide why Kamala Harris lost. And then they elect a white guy. They elected a white guy, Stu. It's been like 12 years or something before they ever. But the reason this guy, Ken Martin, got elected as a white guy, I would submit, is because of repeated statements like this one he offered in 2019. Sot 14 here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
OK, but he got elected as chair, David Hogg, the far left president. kid who was part of the Stoneman, um, school shooting. He was there. It was a student down in Florida when that happened at Parkland. Um, who is just, I mean, with all due respect to that terrible experience, he is truly one of the most annoying leftists on Twitter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He is truly hateful, very nasty, does not understand there's a second amendment in this country and that he doesn't get to rewrite it with his eraser. Um, he wins vice chair. So now you got two white guys, two,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And the DNC chair, Jamie Harrison, I guess outgoing, tries to explain that this has thrown things into chaos because they have quotas, they have bare minimums for non-binaries as part of DNC leadership, which I guess neither of these guys is. Listen to Sod 18.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
very hard if you have a quota for neither males nor females and for the listening audience on the screen the entire time he was reading that is this little like pronoun primer that reads there's zim there her z she his zay they them zim hers zay him he i refuse fuck off dnc those are They're not real words nor real pronouns. There's no such thing as a Z or a Zay or a Zim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And that's why they're having such difficulty finding the right balance because they require it at the leadership level, Stu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
No. And the reports coming out of there were just as delicious. So the headline today is in the or actually yesterday, the Wall Street Journal. Democrats have a new leader but have not come to grips with failure. They quote Adam Frisch, a Colorado Democrat who lost his house race in November to now Republican Representative Jeff Hurd as saying as follows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
20 big cities, Aspen and Martha's vineyards. That's what's left of the democratic party. And I'm not exactly sure those 20 big cities are getting the best version of the democratic party. Z Zim Zay. You don't, you don't think so, Adam? I think you might be right. Here's some more color from that whole debacle. Um, Okay. New York times headline coming out of that meeting was no coherent message.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
What was that clear mandate?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Dems struggle to oppose Trump. They point out that, um, a Quinnipiac university poll conducted the week after Trump took office found that 57% of voters view the democratic party unfavorably. That is the highest level since 2008. They did more than 50 interviews with Democratic leaders. They broadly agree that they need to do more to address issues like grocery costs, inflation and immigration.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But there is little consensus on how or even whether to prioritize the party's traditional concerns like abortion rights, LGBTQ equality and climate change. There's a quote in here from Representative Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, saying, This guy, meaning Trump, is psychotic. And there's so much, but everything that underlies it is white supremacy and hate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And last but not least, this little ditty from Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, you have to portray a sense of alarm and urgency or people will continue to believe that the country will be okay. So they have no idea what the messaging should be. They know they're not dumb enough to believe that the identity politics helped them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They have got to see the polling showing it's crushing them, but it's too strong a strain. The party has this malignant tumor. that's in it, that loves DEI and equity and identity politics at every turn. And they can't excise it still.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You don't think so? Against it. No, I mean, he might be, but I refuse. I'm going to work against him. He helped kill 15,000 New Yorkers with his inane orders to put... sick patients into nursing homes and did not let them test them for COVID. Then he tried to lie and cover that up when he got caught. It's insanity to put this guy back in power. Just ask our mutual pal Janice Dean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
New Yorkers, your memory cannot be that short. Sorry, keep going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They're already a national joke. I mean, they're, you know, it's like the sad kid at, you know, the parties in high school who runs and tells the teacher every time he sees somebody misbehave, who really doesn't have a lot of friends, but he's not like the lovable nerd.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He's like the turn state's evidence douchebag nerd who people really do want to punch, but they won't because they have boundaries. That's what the Democrat Party is now, like this feckless, weakling, tattletale, annoying loser kids who nobody wants to brand with. You know, it's like that. I keep thinking about that beautiful picture of all those young Republicans at the C.J.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Pearson, you know, organized inaugural ball and New York magazine calling them the cruel table. It's like, no, that's the face of the up and coming generation. Young Trumpers who are gorgeous, promising, hopeful, optimistic, patriotic. That's what drives the left crazy. who are so focused on Zay, Zem, and we don't have enough non-binaries. Is there any woman here with a penis? Anyone at all?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Is there any man here with ovaries? Please. Oh, we can't get to a quorum. And this is why, just to add more color to it, Politico reporting on X that Dems are in a bit of disarray over this whole thread by Dave Weigel, who works for Semaphore, who talked about some of the crazy answers these candidates gave on how they think they're doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Like, we should take money from good billionaires, not bad ones. And anyway, the quote repeated by Politico was, we are so fucked, said one Democratic strategist. They even they see it still.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
After that interview with J.D. Vance and Margaret Brennan, I don't really care, Margaret. Margaret is the new Karen. Okay, Debbie Murphy, Canadian Debbie, tells me we cannot end this segment without me playing the following soundbite. This is from, I mentioned there were a bunch of candidates who were running. Other than the white guy who won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And I want to introduce you to Dr. Quintessa Hathaway of Arkansas, who told the audience she wanted to give them something that's been on her heart here over the last couple of days. And then this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Quintessa, sadly, you are no longer in the running toward becoming the next DNC chair. You received, oh, this checks notes, zero votes for that apparently not rousing rendition of You Fight On. This, we have Trump and they have Quintessa still. I'm feeling like we're in good shape. All right, I got to move on because I can't let you go without getting to the Grammys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Did you watch any of the Grammys at all?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I watched no Grammys. I just watched some of the clips and the responses on X. And within about two minutes, I think the world knew that Kanye, now known as Ye, and his wife, question mark, Bianca Sensori, showed up there and she was naked. So we have blurred this because we do have kids who watch the show, but she dropped that fur coat and you see full vag... big fake boobs and her naked bottom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And she's, I guess, wearing a, quote, mesh dress, which is totally invisible. You cannot see that at all. It doesn't even appear. I mean, the best was she kept trying to pull it down Like the dress, like, sweetheart, we've seen your badge. There's no reason to pull it down. If you had any hopes of modesty, they ended when you chose that outfit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And Stu, I have to just say, a couple of thoughts on this. First of all, it's so crass. It's so classless. I mean, any of us, you, me, Canadian Debbie, Steve Krakauer, my EP, if any of us just took off all of our clothes and showed up at the Grammys wearing mesh, a mesh dress, we would get tons of attention. It's because you've crossed another new societal low.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's not because, ooh, we all want to see you naked. There's no question she has a beautiful body. She's a beautiful woman. We knew that from all the other nude pictures. But to show up at the red carpet like this at a festive event totally naked is just another blow to our already craven society. Something kids sometimes watch, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
If you're not smart, you don't let your kids watch the Grammys, but just saying what she wanted them to see was her naked body. That's what she wants people to know about her. I find it disgusting. I'm not like angry because I don't let my kids watch these things anymore, but I'll just put it to you this way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
My kids, I was telling them about it in the car because I thought they might hear about it at school. And I, of course, my 15 year old Googled it and it wouldn't even pull up on his phone. Right. Because we've got like screeners on there because it's pornographic, but it's shoved in our face at every turn, especially by these two.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Especially as you've been sleeping with Kanye, who slept with Kim. God only knows what you're getting. No, not suggesting anybody has a disease. Just saying, you know, you don't want that trail coming your way. They didn't actually make it into the venue. They, they, There were reports they were kicked out because they weren't invited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But then there was a report clarifying from, I think, Entertainment Weekly saying, no, no, no, they were invited. He'd been nominated for something. They just didn't go in. They came, they posed, they walked out. Because obviously they were just there for the photo op. Can I just remind you, this was Kanye on with Tucker shortly before they booted Tucker off of Fox News, trying to play all like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Oh, I'm a man of God now. I object to the objectification of women. I think it's... Well, let's start with... I don't know. SART 7. Yeah, SART 7.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I've seen Skims promotions, many of them. I've never seen Kim Kardashian's full vag on display. Even she hasn't gone that far. I've actually never seen her full boobs in promotion of Skims. I've seen them many times elsewhere on the internet. Thanks to you, Kanye, who participated in that one shoot, I'm told, where she had the champagne coming out of that, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He definitely tweeted it out and wrote all day long. And then he added this to Tucker for good measure. It's not eight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
What a difference a divorce makes? Help me, Stu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
This is an opinion about the way in which he has been behaving, which is totally fair. I, I'm like, I would like to state for the record that I have, I did never, I did not buy into this. And I did not, I did not put him on the air or try to milk that for ratings like Chris Cuomo did. Um, I just, you could see he wasn't, there's something off and I have no wish to exploit it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But I feel like this wife, I used to think she was exploited. I now think she's totally in on it. She's in on it. Like she just wants to be a star. I have zero use for these two. Okay. Ms. Alicia Keys accepts the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and uses it. Ms. Alicia Keys of the, oh, I swear I wasn't coincidentally wearing the Palestinian colors like hours after 10-7. No, I wasn't. I swear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
This is how she spent her acceptance speech.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Okay. Destructive forces try to burn us down. I mean, obviously I believe that was yet another reference to Israel. By the way, it was the Hamas who did the burning of actual people and babies. Alicia, you might want to actually do a little research before you go out there and wag your tongue because you don't know what the F you're talking about. Anyway, your thoughts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You had Shakira who did, she pulled a Selena Gomez, like the immigrants. You had Lady Gaga make it all about trans people are not invisible and These people are very annoying and you really should pause before you think about giving them your money. All right. It's like, oh, then Beyonce, Beyonce, she's won 33 Grammys, including for best country album last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Meanwhile, they, you know, somebody went through and did the list. Hold on a second. I have it here. It's actually outrageous. So did you know, listen to this too. Somebody tweeted this out. Mike Harlow. Frank Sinatra got 11 Grammys. The Beatles won seven. Judy Garland, two. The Rolling Stones, three. Beyonce, 33. Most overrated artist of all time. I totally agree with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And by the way, you don't have to take my word for it or Mike Harlow's word for it. Listen to what John Rich tweeted. Folks are asking me how to music award shows work. He writes labels and publishers all have blocks of votes. They make deals with each other. You vote for mine. We'll vote for yours type thing. It has zero to do with who made the best music.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Thus Beyonce with country album of the year. Nice, right? The same thing is true with the CMAs, the ACMs, billboard, et cetera, all work exactly the same. Last night, the Grammys outed themselves in a big way. It's ridiculous. Her husband, I'm sure, pays for all these aggressive marketing campaigns. And we're supposed to pretend that Queen Bey is unassailable in her country music attempts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, you know what? She isn't. We're not buying it. We know what happened and how she got this award and how she got her 33 Grammys when you've got two for the Judy Garland's of the world. Your thoughts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
At least you know you have your outfit ready.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I know it's ridiculous. We know what you're doing. It's obvious what the industry is doing. It's just not the same as it used to be. Like there was a time when true merit determined who won these awards. That time has come and gone and Americans know it. They know it, whether it's an Oscar campaign or a Grammy's campaign.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And these stars are making fools out of themselves in trying to walk over into political commentary. No one believes they have any working knowledge of the issues. And by the way, I'm convinced on that Alicia Keys reference. We know what you're doing. We realize you thought what Hamas did was aces. You made that clear. You're disgusting. Stu Bergier is not disgusting. He's a champ.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's great to have you. Thank you for being here.

All right, coming up next, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville. Coach is here. I mean, this is one of the most respected, celebrated, most winning coaches of all time. And he happens to be a U.S. senator who for years...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
has been pushing to protect girls in sports, and he's about to blow the whistle on his fellow Republicans for not getting this bill, which already been passed in the House, a vote on the Senate floor. Don't miss that. You might have heard about this new brand called XXXY Athletics. It's the only athletic brand standing up for women's sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It was founded by former elite gymnast and longtime Levi's top executive, Jennifer Say. XXXY Athletics actually knows men cannot become women. Hello? And while we've had some wins as of late, we're not done. Trump's executive order only impacts sports governed by Title IX that take place within federally funded education institutions. That leaves competitions and sports governed by the U.S.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Olympic Committee unaffected. That's more than half of all sports competitions. We have work to do. We need to change the culture to end men in women's sports once and for all.

Now we turn to a subject that was key to the 2024 presidential election and a key issue here on our show, the protection of women and girls in sports. A bill titled Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed through the House on January 15th, 218 to 206.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
The legislation bans federal funds from going to institutions that allow biological males in sports and requires Title IX provisions to solely recognize biological sex. But now the bill is being stalled in the GOP-controlled Senate. Hello, what? And my next guest has more on the GOP leadership failing to bring the legislation for a vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He's such a chatty Kathy. I'm like, honey, I need my coffee. President Trump's up and at him. Okay, so a lot of big things happening. We're going to go through it. News today about these terror threats against Mexico and Canada, where it appears Mexico's already folded. Fast action from Secretary Rubio down in Panama. You know, he kind of gave us a preview of what he was going to do down there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has been on the front lines working to pass this legislation, and he's been working for years. I went back and looked at the number of times he's tried to bring this up when nobody wanted to hear from him, when it appeared to have no chance of passing. He brought it up. He brought it up again. He brought it up again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He has been like a dog with a bone on this, a true ally to women and girls everywhere. And there's a reason I think he's got a historic background. in the sports world. As a former head coach for several college football teams, Senator Tuberville, Coach Tuberville, welcome to the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I'm your huge fan. Like the number of times you have tried to push this boulder up the hill really makes me respect you, even when you knew there was no way a Democrats-controlled Senate was going to give you a vote. But then- GOP wins control of the Senate. And what we've seen since you guys took over in the Senate and the House now is... The House passed it and it got massaged a bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They passed it again. They said, yeah, OK, here we go back to you guys over in the Senate. And we've been waiting. I've been waiting to see a vote by the GOP controlled Senate on this thing is much better, notwithstanding Trump's executive orders. If it can become law, law that can't just be undone by an executive order four years from now. So why aren't we seeing a vote?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
So that's you with the six, one, two, three, four, five, six. They all appear to be approaching middle age or around middle age.

Would John Thune not wanted to come to the floor? He certainly wouldn't want to protect Democrats. He must know Republicans who are not ready to vote for this thing.

The guy that you have your arm around, he looks younger, with all due respect. The others look closer to your age and my age.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Is there some belief that this can't pass and they only want wins right now? They only want to put legislation on the floor that can get through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Can you just tell me when you said that there are girls sports teams in the United States that are filled entirely with boys posing as girls? You know, I just heard a story. I'm not going to name the school because I haven't confirmed this, but it's a mom friend of mine. And I believe her because she had a kid at this school in Westchester, a private school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They hired a new sports director, athletic director. And then they turfed this guy because he didn't believe in allowing boys into girls sports. And the school made a conscious decision that not only did they want boys in the girls' sports, but they had a plan to stack the entire girls' ice hockey team with biological boys so that they could be totally dominant against other schools.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
So I do have some information in my own personal world that, that they're doing this now for competitive advantages, but you're, you probably hear from a lot more people than I do in your role. So is that true? Like what, what sports are they filling the whole roster with boys? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But do we think, Senator, that you'd get all 53 Republicans voting for this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
No, you're 100% right. The New York Times just did this poll in January of 2025, as in a few days ago, 79% of respondents said biological males who identify as female should not be allowed to compete in women's and girls' sports. 67% of Democrats said that, 94% of Republicans, 64% of independents. These are huge majorities, even within the Democrat party.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
We think we have the Republican votes, maybe, maybe not Murkowski. I've heard a little wiggling from Susan Collins, but I don't, I don't know. Even if you counted those two out, um, I, I feel like we have the votes needed to pass it. We just don't think we have the votes for cloture. Is that true?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And you had like a preview of what the Democrat argument is on this from AOC in the House who actually explained or claimed that this is going to lead to inspections of little girls going into the locker room to make sure they're female. I mean, just the worst fear-mongering. Here is her soundbite in SOP 30.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
What's your response to her, Senator?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's total fear-mongering. So what we need is for Leader Thune to call for a vote on the Senate floor so that we have names. We have actual names of the Democrats who are standing in the way of what 67% of their base, of their voters, want. I don't see how that's a downside for Republicans at all.

And Gavin Newsom said no. you know, supposedly as this champion of the people, you know, I'm going to keep the rates low, but the insurance companies did what they are always going to do in that situation, which is they took their ball and went home like F off.

And left wingers like Gavin Newsom pretending that they're just such tree huggers. They don't want to do it.

What do you think the people in Greenland are going to think about it? Are they free speech? I mean, like, I don't know if they're leftist or rightist. Trump seems to be saying they're pro-MAGA, but like... No, they're not. They're Denmark people. They're kind of owned by Denmark. I mean, Denmark does own... And they are as left as you can get. So I'm not sure, guys.

Yeah, that's going to be a lot for us to take on. Okay, I am going to give you the floor. Forgive me, but just to set it up, Trump is indeed saying, he had a news conference the other day, that he would potentially like to buy Greenland. Greenland is owned by Denmark and it's like one of their territories and he's saying, well, we want it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mismanagement Leading to Devastating LA Wildfires, and Trump's Serious About Buying Greenland, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 978
And then he got asked, well, like it's got a bunch of natural resources that are amazing and now accessible thanks to some of the global warming. It's not just completely covered by the Arctic. So we're interested because we don't have as much natural resources As China does, they've got way more than we do. So we're eyeballing, you know, Greenland is like, well, that could be quite helpful.

Mismanagement Leading to Devastating LA Wildfires, and Trump's Serious About Buying Greenland, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 978
And Trump proposed this, and then he was asked to that presser, like, would you, oh, and he also wants to reclaim the Panama Canal, which, okay, it was, we gave it to Panama under Jimmy Carter. It's no longer ours, but he's saying, well, we're taking it back. This is bullshit. You're charging us too much to go through it, and we want it.

He's also saying we're going to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. He's saber rattling about making Canada a state. I don't I don't think that one's real, but I think the other ones are real. So he got asked on the the Panama Canal and Greenland whether he would use military or economic might to make it happen. Would you rule that out right now, Mr. President?

As a little like, well, what or what? Because like most MAGA people do not know. want to get involved in World War III. So there was that. Then there was, yeah, I kind of do want Greenland.

Trump tweeted out, make Greenland great again. And he called in when Don Jr. was at a restaurant and he spoke with the people. And Trump says, Greenland, I hear, is very MAGA. I don't know if Greenland is MAGA. Can we start with that? I don't want to be adopting another California or Oregon.

Was it the King of Denmark? Anyway, it was the Prime Minister. The King of Denmark suddenly added Greenland to their crest over there as a middle finger to Trump. Meanwhile, I was just in Denmark.

Well, is that true for Trump? I'm not really meaning that. Hold on. Do we have the exact quote? I want to read you the exact Trump quote because he did not say invade. I think we should be careful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mismanagement Leading to Devastating LA Wildfires, and Trump's Serious About Buying Greenland, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 978
Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. The question was, Okay. Asked by a reporter if he could assure world leaders that his rhetoric about the Panama Canal and Greenland would not amount to, quote, military or economic coercion. So, okay, military coercion. Once he takes office, Trump responded with a simple, no. He said we need them for economic security. Quote, I'm not going to commit to that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mismanagement Leading to Devastating LA Wildfires, and Trump's Serious About Buying Greenland, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 978
No, it might be that you'll have to do something. Look, that Panama Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated by China. China! And we gave the Panama Canal to Panama. We didn't give it to China, and they've abused it. They've abused that gift. Giving the Panama Canal to Panama was a very big mistake. So he focused mostly on Panama, but he said he would not reassure...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mismanagement Leading to Devastating LA Wildfires, and Trump's Serious About Buying Greenland, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 978
that he is not prepared to use military or economic coercion with respect to Greenland. That's not a great quote, but we don't know exactly.

It was a threat on X. Why are Trump's 51st state comments resonating so loudly in Canada? Because of Trudeau himself. When Justin Trudeau first won election in 2015, he told an American newspaper, there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. He said, we're the first post-national state. Such gross left-wing rhetoric. Okay, he goes on.

Since then, he's taken our founding prime minister off the $10 bill. He's altered our national anthem.

Listen to this, you guys. This is just tweeted out by the New York Times. Things are getting tense in L.A. as fire hydrants and reservoirs in the Palisades begin to run low. At the crest of Sunset Boulevard, a desperate man dropped to his knees in front of a firefighter who was battling a blaze consuming the home next door, begging him to turn the water on the flames threatening his own home.

Another firefighter warned, we're down to 25%. Hold off. They're having to basically ration what's left of the water in the hydrants, given how low the supply is. I mean, they too live on water. Why is this so hard? That is mismanagement to me. It seems pretty clear.

You can see the Republicans in the front clapping and you can see the Democrats sitting, see them in the back. They're all sitting. They couldn't get to their feet for that moment.

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.

And then CNN trying to make it sound like it's a much different story when it comes to his other policies, they say, compared with closer to six in 10 who feel positive about his proposals to change how the government works. Just 63 percent favor that rich and his proposed policies on the economy. Just 62 percent favor that.

I don't, to me, that was just so powerful, you know, equally to DJ, a 13 year old cancer stricken boy, because I feel like every mother sitting at home understands and father instinctually that woman's pain and the horror that she's been through as a result of this open border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And all she's saying is maybe acknowledge my daughter, acknowledge what happened to her, forget what Trump has done to close the border. But like, where is the humanity when it comes to my dead 12 year old? I just, I don't think women respond positively to any sort of F you to that looks like an F you to her. I don't, I don't think most men will either.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I just think as a matter of politics, rich, obviously humanity, yes, you should be on your feet clapping, but as a matter of politics, um, Like I, obviously they came up with a plan, just not, not to clap and not to stand for anything, but why, how could they be so foolhardy as opposed to like, if there's a moment that's genuinely heartfelt, that, that moves you, of course, show your humanity.

It's amazing to see. Here is that MSNBC reaction that I teased at the top of the show. And this was in response to little DJ. And honestly, I don't know what's happened to this person. She used to be a Republican. She was the person who shepherded Chief Justice John Roberts through his confirmation process. It's Nicole Wallace, who now I think her next job will be with the Lincoln Project.

Oh my God. That is jaw-dropping. We went back and looked to see what the reaction on set was to her. And even her fellow panelists, from Jen Psaki to Rachel Maddow, you could see Jen Psaki literally leaning away from her. And even Rachel Maddow, without commenting on that, just moved away, bridged away to another topic. When you've gone too far for Psaki and Maddow, you've gone too far, period.

I prepared for utter boredom because that's what these things typically deliver. Even with Trump, I just figured it's going to be kind of a bore. His past State of the Unions have not been anywhere near this entertaining.

It's true. And she saw the same thing we saw where his eyes got all big when President Trump said he was going to be made an honorary Secret Service. He was so excited. The hug, he threw his arms around the Secret Service director. It was a sincere embrace. And that's where she went like, I hope he doesn't die on President Trump's Capitol Hill.

Not DJ. It's such a strange syndrome. TDS is a very strange syndrome. It really should be in the DSM-5. And it's very unfortunate because once afflicted, you really cannot get out from under it. It's like... what is it? Personality disorder. If you have a personality disorder, it's almost impossible to get out of it. Maybe it is impossible. And there are a lot of my moms in the psychiatric field.

I mean, now she's retired, but she was telling me a lot of psychiatrists just won't even try to treat that. Same thing with like sociopaths. There's really no curing you of sociopathy. There's no curing you of TDS. Once you get it, it's a lifelong affliction and it really does warp The way you see everything around you, you, you see the pot of gold and to you, it looks like crap.

You know, you see a wonderful event for a child and instead you see only doom and gloom and darkness. If it has anything to do with the orange man. And I, it's strange how it's like, it's broken for the rest of the country. Like they never really had it. And so now it's, They look at these people and they're not watching them. We were talking about this yesterday, Rich.

Sometimes when you're in the opposition, your numbers go up. At Fox News, our numbers always went up when we were in the so-called opposition. It was Democrat president under Barack Obama, et cetera. Their numbers are not going up under MSNBC post-election. They're still withering on the vine. The numbers are horrid. And I really think it's because of this.

Trump's policies were not... Yes, tariffs are controversial, right? But like... Everything else he talked about was really not even controversial. And the celebration of these suffering Americans and giving them a gift is a feel-good moment that we can all get behind. And the dour, TDS-afflicted anchors crapping all over the child's joy is something...

I mean, and not to mention, you know, seditious conspiracy and the mentioning of six cops who died by suicide. You know how many cops? First of all, being a police officer is extremely stressful, especially these days, thanks to her side's soft on crime policies and what's happening to cops on the street.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And to attribute post-J6 suicides to Donald Trump, you know how many suicides there were from cops after the BLM riots? No, we don't because nobody kept track of that.

What about Daniel Dorn, who was or David Dorn, who was killed in one of the BLM riots? I don't. What about him? Her mind just goes to J6. They're obsessed with J6. It's just whatever. I can't save them. It's a very interesting, you know, psychological illness. I hope she gets the help she so desperately needs.

But last night, he kept everything tight. He didn't linger on any point too long. He didn't get too deep into policy to where your eyes glazed over. He was just hitting his points. He went off script in a way that was funny, endearing. I know the left didn't like it, but everybody laughed at the Pocahontas remark on Elizabeth Warren. They're just very funny asides in his delivery.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
There was one other controversial subject, though, the way Trump got in and out of it was clever and it was Ukraine. You know, he he styles it in a way that's tough to disagree with. Like he wants the killing to stop. It's like, well, who? Yes, that you should clap for that. Like, that's also one of those like, yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But of course, it's become a very hot button issue because people think he's pressuring Zelensky too much and not Putin enough and so on. But. Well, this is one of the more notable moments of the night where Trump was trying to make these points. And the Democrats, they clapped. I can't remember what the line was. Well, I'll just play this up. This is where he went out after Elizabeth Warren.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And it was one of the few times where they were clapping, the Dems, 16.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Reaction shot. She's the sole person clapping. And it's just like Trump doesn't give a fig. He'll use that term anywhere. He's not different behind closed doors versus how he is in front of the camera. But she is. She lied to the American public for years about being a Native American. And that's kind of what he's he's like, this person has no credibility.

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
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.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And Trump also announced last night that Zelensky sent him a letter saying he will accept the minerals deal. And that process is now back on track, which, again, is a positive development, though you wouldn't know that from that side of the chamber last night.

I didn't go back, as I promised I would, to Al Green, a Democrat from Texas who decided to make this evening about him, about himself and got up there. It was a it was a. consistent, ongoing heckling of Donald Trump. It wasn't like... I mean, I remember that when Joe Wilson yelled out, you lie to Obama. And it dominated the news the whole next day. It was a huge deal, this breach of decorum.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
This guy got up there and would not sit down. He was like a code pinker who just kept yelling with his cane, almost like menacing Donald Trump with his cane. He's 77 years old. By the way, Trump's 78. And... wouldn't take a seat. It was actually really interesting because what you saw was J.D.

I was talking about this with Doug this morning. If I delivered the same things Trump delivered last night, people might be mildly bemused and say, okay, that's a good line. But the way Trump delivers these things really has you laughing out loud. He's so funny. And when he unleashes it in the right setting, it's endearing and it totally works.

Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson behind Trump saying to the sergeant at arms in the house, get him out of here with the thumb, like get him out. And eventually Mike Johnson issued the order for the sergeant at arms to restore order to the chamber. And he was ejected, which I'm sure is what he wanted. But here's some of that that moment as chaos broke out.

The Republicans cheering USA over Al Green's chants.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
A few things happening there, Rich, that jumped out at me. Trump first gives the thumb, you know, point and like, get him out of here. The Republicans have gotten good about this USA chant. I noticed it when I went down for some of the confirmation hearings like Hegseth, when protesters came in, Pete's supporters, most of whom, by the way, were military vets.

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
just got up and started enchanted USA. They did it for Bobby Kennedy too. It's pretty effective, right? They don't allow the hecklers veto. Look at that guy, get them out. And JD Vance also with the, you know, the rap sign, like get them out. And I have to say what, that was one of the dynamics that jumped out at me last night was JD Vance,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
with his, as the kids, the kids have a term bombastic side eye. He had the bombastic side eye many times looking over the Democrats with those like twinkly blues, which are, you know, they know how to cast dispersions by just like a sort of wink and a nod. And boy, you could just see
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
He was literally behind the president and he was figuratively behind the president at every moment looking out for people who weren't clapping, people who were, you know, potential hecklers. And I thought it was kind of nice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I noticed the dynamic and I thought to myself, that's the kid who has the background in Appalachia who would beat the shit out of you if you said anything bad about his mother, even though he said plenty of bad things about his mother. But it's different. The rules in the challah, as he pointed out, were... you know, you can rip on your mom or your family, but nobody else can.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And even though he's got a mild manner in general, like he is a street fighter at heart. Anyway, all of that jumped out at me in like the ongoing dynamics around Trump last night. Your thoughts?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And I think it's why, in part, the speech was so well-received. CBS YouGov survey of 1,200 adults, though this is more heavily weighted toward Republicans, 51% Republicans, 27% independents, 20% Dems, but showing 76% approve of the speech. Um, time spent on issues get you care about 63% say a lot speech made you feel hopeful 68%.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Right. Trump handled himself well. He did not lose it. He did not acknowledge him other than the, you know, get him out of here. And so he didn't take the bait, which was good. And as much as, you know, J.D. and Mike Johnson, they gave him the rat tail, which was totally appropriate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Sergeant at Arms was a little slow on the ejection, no? It was like, where is he? Get him out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I thought there might be if it's a war protester who sneaked in or who is against a member. This was a member sitting right there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Yeah, exactly. OK, so. Last but not least, the Democrat response, which is always just like a terrible job. If asked, you should say no. It was Alyssa Slotkin, who I didn't know much about. She's a newly elected senator from Michigan. And when I went and saw her at the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings, she started off by talking about her background in the CIA, how she signed up after 9-11.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
She determined she'd be in security and then she got recruited by the CIA and she served under George W. Bush and Obama, bipartisan, you know, more blue collar, blue, you know, crossover, blue dog, Democrat. No. The answer is no. You heard the way she cross-examined Pete and you quickly learned this is a hateful person who I personally grew to loathe in the moment.

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
OK, I mean, it just went on and on and on. I really I have to say, I don't think she's the future of the party as the Democrats think she is. I just think she's she showed a rabid partisanship and attack dog nature in her exchange with him. We can show more of it later. But in any event, I don't know. Do you think that's the future of the Democratic Party there, Rich?

We haven't yet shown the Lake and Riley moment. Her mother and sister were there. That mother's face was the picture of anguish. I mean, it was just, oh, heart-wrenching. And of course, her daughter was the subject and the name of President Trump's first legislative act that actually did get passed and is now law, the Lake and Riley Act.

She has thank you to the president, Lakin's mom. And once again, even after that piece of it, you know, it was sort of a separate line about we'll never forget Lakin. The Democrats did not stand. Here's the video again. Like they couldn't even find the heart to stand for just that piece. Like we will never forget her. Nope. The grieving mother literally in tears. And they sat there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
You know, it's one thing, Mark, to see the Supreme Court sitting there. We know they never stand. Or, you know, the heads of the military branches. They never stand. But those Democrats not even feigning empathy. What did you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Why do you think so, Mark? Because I honestly like we we've all been watching State of the Union addresses for many years. And in my experience, I don't remember them all bit by bit, but they would sit there and not clap if it were a partisan issue and telegraph to the country. I disagree. But on the human moments, you would you'd have many instances in which the whole chamber would.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
claps if for no other reason, even if they're not really feeling it just because of good politics. So clearly the Democrats met and decided it would be bad politics to clap for anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
It's amazing because one of their failures last night was to telegraph, like, what is it about Trump that you find so objectionable? You know, when he won in 16, people kind of knew. You know, he had said things that had been bandied about in the media quite often.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
You know, the opening speech about Mexico not sending their best, the rapists and so on, which would have been bastardized by the press. But whatever, there was a narrative, a very clear narrative around Trump. Now it's just so amorphous. The last thing we heard was he's Hitler. And then the country rejected that and elected him. And that was one of the things I was searching for last night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
So I felt like it was an utter failure of messaging on their part, which it was just wound up in a total victory for Trump because there he is hitting his points, using a sense of humor, getting laughs, getting applause from the Republicans and probably from people at home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
The thing about DJ was he was not controversial. He wants to be a police officer. It's not like there was a backstory behind him and something happened that was caused by Democrats. That's not where Trump went with his story. It was just a nice story about a kid who wants to be a cop. In a way, it was kind of endearing toward cops. Maybe that's their problem. I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But that was such a weird one not to stand for. Lake and Riley was killed by illegals, but still there's not an American in the country who's in favor of Americans being killed by illegals, you know, with the grieving mother and sister standing there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Then we get to Peyton McNabb, who was hit in the face by a volleyball, spiked at her by a male player pretending to be a female in her high school in North Carolina. And again, I realize the Democrats are very pro this so-called trans agenda, but they know very well from the last election mark that the country is not. That is an 80% issue. There are no 80% issues in America, virtually none.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But 80 percent of the populace does not want boys playing in girls sports. That's why he wisely brought Peyton McNabb to the state, whatever the address last night. And here he is remarking on Peyton McNabb's McNabb's presence. And then we'll show you the reaction. Stop five.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And here's the video of the Democrat reaction, which is the same reaction that we saw to DJ, to Lake and Riley's parents, to every moment that tugged at the heartstrings. They did not stand. And he had gone through Peyton's injuries, which are severe. There's partial paralysis on her right side. She suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
By the way, the male who hurt her never apologized and actually was angry with Peyton for even speaking out about it. She's been on our show. In any event, There too. And that's again an 80% issue, Mark.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Right. They I was listening to The New York Times is The Daily Podcast this morning. And of course, it was all about how this Peyton McNabb, this it's a culture war issue. She was injured by a trans woman. You know, they don't talk about the biological realities of who like some people are still confused by that term. We talk about it so often here. Our audience is not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But they're intentionally obfuscating what happened there. And for most people, I think this was a breath of fresh air to hear Trump get this specific on what's real and what's not. But again, the Democrats sat and did nothing, sought six.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I'll tell you something, Mark, for me personally, having covered this very closely for a long time, it was heartening enough just to see all the Republicans on their feet for that. You know that five years ago, that would have been a very dicey thing to say in this setting. And even the Republicans would have been unsure about whether they could stand and clap on that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019

So I'll take that victory where I can get it.

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I mean, even when I interviewed Trump in September of 23 and I asked him, can a man become a woman? He was uncomfortable. He was like, well, I say no, I don't think so. You know, like he's gotten much more bold. And of course, we saw that on the campaign trail. And it's it's look, it's something to have him say that in the House chamber on a night as big as that. So that's a win.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And the Democrats either will come along or they'll get left behind. We'll we'll have to wait and see. You know, there was there were audible boos and pushback when Trump talked about his historic victory. They really don't like to acknowledge that on the left. And that's when Al Green got up there and started harassing Trump. And, you know, sort of things got chaotic inside of the chamber.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But this was debated, interestingly, the other day when Stephen A. Smith went on The View. And Joy Behar, you know, she too pushed back. And even on this morning's The Daily, Maggie Haberman was pushing back on just how historic the victory was. They really don't want to... Say historic. They don't want to say mandate. They don't want to say any of the things that Trump says.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019

Your co-host over on Two Way, Dan Turrentine, we love him too. He's a Democrat. He tweeted out the following. I love my party, but tonight was a new low. I get silence on this or that policy and the raw politics of the base's anger.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But for not a single Democrat to stand and applaud a boy's brave battle with cancer or a man's admission to West Point, which was a surprise Trump gave to one of the audience members, was a classless disgrace. And maddeningly, while overall Trump's speech was politically good, there were political holes that could be exploited, juvenile taunts that voters hate and comical lies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But much of that will be buried by our self-inflicted stupidity. Do you agree with that? And how will it be buried? Like what happens from here, the media coverage in the wake of the speech and just the tone setting that happened last night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
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 Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I know. I mean, with not a single Dem voting for the Protect Women and Girls in Sports Act, not a single Democrat voting for cloture on that bill, I don't know what he's going to get any crossover votes on. I really don't. That was just such a no-brainer. This is not Megyn Kelly and her wishful thinking. It truly is an 80% support issue. It was a very simple, clean bill.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
It wasn't filled with a bunch of weird things that might get them in trouble. and they, they didn't vote for it. So I like, I, yes, he'll get his budget bill through because he can do that with just 51 votes. You don't have to, you don't need a cloture vote on that. So that'll be good. But I, I don't know what's going to happen on, on the rest of his agenda.

When we're speaking about legislative wins, it doesn't seem very promising. Um, Okay, on your point about what the Dems are going to do and they're getting their act together, apart from their little bingo signs, their little auctioneer signs, false, false. They released this weird thing on video this week that's making some news. What the heck happened here?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
So first, some eagle-eyed ex-users noticed that a few of these Dems, I think it was Senator Schumer, Senator Warren, and Senator Cory Booker, seem to be using the exact same script to just drop these sort of, you know, F you videos to Trump. Here's, here's how it first emerged.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
We get it. We get what they did. And then it emerged that at least 22, I think it's up to 23 senators, did the exact same thing that we just saw there. Here it is, Sat 26.

It's amazing. They're all obviously reading. They're following an exact script. They actually seem to stand and sit at the same point as well. The whole thing's scripted, choreographed. Um, what's going on there. And I, like that was just released on social media. So I guess this is the new, like younger, hipper digital lane. Dem.

They Elon Musk tweeted out, I'll give somebody a free Cybertruck if they can tell me who created this script, like who is patient zero on this. And I guess Cory Booker today said it was me and you can keep your Cybertruck, which was a dumb addendum because who wouldn't want a free Cybertruck? But I guess he was behind it. Here's the thing, though.

I just think it's ridiculous. There's no dignity. You know, it's like you could be cool. You could do a fun video. I mean, I have to say, in most ways, AOC understands this and she does. She uses social media very effectively. This is not it. And they're just to me, it just shows that they're struggling. So speaking of struggling, Tim Walls.

If I think I could offer something, I would certainly consider that when asked if he's open to a 2028 presidential run. If I think I could offer something, I would certainly consider that. I'm also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there's a lot of people that can do this. I'll do whatever it takes. So do we think that Tim Walz is a serious candidate for next leader of the party?

Oh, wow. That's saying something. All right. Last but not least, over on the Republican side, Pam Bondi in a bit of a controversy this week because she had the White House and there's new ABC News reporting on this. The White House invited those influencers to the White House last week, reportedly as a.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
a thank you, a way to honor and thank strong online influencers of the kind that you just mentioned. Chaya Raychik behind Libs of TikTok, Jack Posobiak, Chad Pranther, Liz Wheeler, a bunch of right-wing influencers. And apparently, according to ABC, unbeknownst to them... They weren't expecting this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
They were brought in to a meeting with Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, and she then surprised them with those Epstein file binders. And so I didn't realize that they were totally caught off guard with this. And so when we saw them emerging from the West Wing holding these binders and kind of like laughing about it, they didn't know what they had.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And the reporting is that she chose not to loop in any White House senior staff on this. She chose to keep it a secret from them because she thought that it would be like a fun surprise, that they would be pleased. But it turned out that there was absolutely nothing new in these binders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Exactly. Whether the Democrats found it funny or not, the average American sitting at home laughed at that. There's just no question there. No one who doesn't have TDS didn't get a chuckle out of that. Right. Like it's he's exactly right. None of us has ever has ever heard of that place or whatever it was called. Yeah. Lesotho, although John Podoritz was tweeting out, he goes, I've heard.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And it had the unfortunate effect of embarrassing the influencers because they'd been told and believed Cash and Bondi that they'd been given something exciting and new and, you know, proprietary information. So now there's been fallout because it's a question of who embarrassed an influential group around the president, right, who really deserve nothing other than thanks from him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Who embarrassed them? Why? How? Why wasn't senior White House staff told? And why was a thank you session turned into a Pam Bondi Epstein drop information session that actually was no actual info? All that happened. We have the ABC News report on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And now Bondi saying that she did get a truckload of documents from the FBI who she accused of withholding against both her and Kash Patel's orders, though the next drop has not been received. And the question is whether she's in any sort of trouble. Trump had very warm references to her last night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
I mean, if she makes it up to them by giving them the next big round and it genuinely is a scoop, I think that'll heal, you know, that'll mend fences. If they remain in the position they're in right now, thanks to her, I think she's in for some PR trouble over the next coming months because she's probably lost a lot of goodwill with them. Mark, you have all the goodwill in the world here.

I want to take you now to a troubling situation in Maine where not everyone has gotten the memo about parental rights. Members of the school board in Maine School Administrative District 11 are seeking to launch a health clinic at a high school where medical providers, not parents, will make key decisions for students. Here's what officials from the clinic said at a December school meeting. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
So no parental involvement, none whatsoever. And that term mental health is doing a lot of work there. It's a very large category that excludes the parent from any decision-making. That woman you just heard, CEO of HealthReach, is correct about Maine law and when children can consent to procedures, medicine potential without parental permission.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And while HealthReach says there are no plans right now to offer hormone treatments for so-called trans students, parents are understandably very concerned about where this is going. You saw the Maine governor with Trump last week. There's an agenda in Maine. But thanks now in part to an email campaign by a group called Courage is a Habit. MSAD 11 has not yet approved that clinic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
And we are monitoring developments closely ahead of tomorrow's school board meeting. Here now to tell us more is Courage is a Habit president, Alvin Louie. Alvin, thank you so much for keeping a finger on the pulse of this one. So what specifically is this about? They're bringing in a so-called health clinic for the children with what appears to be the express goal of excluding parents?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
That read, like, Musk lies or false. Like, whoa, whoa. Yeah, uh-huh. They're throwing down musk steels. Okay. I mean, war criminal. Oh, well, that's going to turn the hearts and minds. What did you make of the resistance with that and some people wearing the pink in honor of the pea hats they wore back in 2016? This was their big F.U. ?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
What do you mean referring out? How would it work under the proposed system that you are objecting to? If a kid comes in to this clinic and says, I'm gender confused.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Could they get a prescription without their parents at that point?

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Oh my God. So your child could first get a COVID vaccine, which we know, especially in young males, has a disturbingly high risk of causing heart infection. Myocarditis could be potentially fatal without your knowledge. And your child who maybe just

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
be stressed out from like a divorce that the parents are going through or God forbid, a childhood sexual trauma or bullying in school and manifest this in the more sort of, oh, it's like the hip thing to be, which is trans without you knowing, gets a firm, gets a breast binder, gets a prescription to go to this other clinic. And sometimes it can be like a Planned Parenthood.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
They're very like pro- That's right. It could be right. Sending kids down this lane. And that clinic gives them a prescription for puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones, which sterilizes a child.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
That's such a good point. That's exactly right. So that's incredible and very disturbing. But what's happening now? Because there are reportedly 25 health clinics already in Maine schools. Right. But the nonprofit that would run this new one says, oh, no, we have no plans to provide hormone treatments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
But do we think that they're backing off of it at all? Because they delayed the vote on this health clinic in December, and now it's not officially on the agenda for the meeting they're having this week. So do you feel like you've already won this or it's still alive?
The Megyn Kelly Show

Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Can you talk a little bit about that? Because you actually are courageous and this is a battle that must be fought and you've been fighting it since before it was in vogue and acceptable to be fighting it. But I understand there's, you know, your great grandfather came to America from Mao's China. So how has that affected your willingness to get on these issues?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
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.

Wow, these guys. I mean, can you imagine? Your kid goes to school, gets a shot in the arm that could potentially cause a heart infection, which you wouldn't even know to be checking for because they'd vaccinated him without your consent, and then secretly give him tucking apparatus to start messing with his genitals so he can look and feel more like a girl, then snap him with...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Funny and Powerful Address, and Dems' Embarrassing Response, with Rich Lowry, Mark Halperin, and Alvin Lui | Ep. 1019
Puberty blockers into cross sex hormones, which sterilize a child, not to mention deprive him of any hope of sexual pleasure throughout his life. And you know nothing. And the school board will defend this. And so will the main governor. I mean, this this how radical the left has become. This is it's infuriating. And it's another reason why President Trump won and does have the mandate.

Like, it's just so undignified and unmanly. There's something so... teenage girl about it, like snaps, it's the opposite of snaps. I'm embarrassed for them.

I don't know what it is. I think it's definitely not more Trump winning. That seems to aggravate it greatly. Trump knew this was coming, that they weren't going to root for him, even on the gimmies. It's like, I don't understand why. I guess they really have no meaningful leader. But like, why didn't some leaders sit down with him beforehand and say, just don't project asshole.

OK, that's what we want to avoid. We want to be like the strong, sober, but likable ones in the room. They forget about likability, how important it is. So we'll get to the congressman standing up and harassing him. The weirdness with the signs and the paddles and the pink outfits, whatever. But Trump set them up.

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.

Let's watch a little bit of that. So Trump brings this sweet young boy, 13 years old, into the chamber. And his dream is to become law enforcement. And he's survived brain cancer. And he's there with his dad. And Trump calls attention to the story. And there were this was much better. Like, I have to say, there was something about these stories last night. Tell me if you feel the same, Rich.

They always bring somebody, you know, every president who does this brings a few people into the chamber so they can tell their personal story. And sometimes it's a heart, you know, breaker. Sometimes it's inspirational. I don't remember actually really feeling so moved repeatedly, you know, by something like, wow. And I mentioned Canadian Debbie. I'm softer than she is. She is tough.

She's Holly Hunter in broadcast news. If she's shedding a tear, you've done something right. And we were both in tears a couple of times last night. I really felt like they did a very, very good job. in like the art of the speech, like taking us on a bit of an emotional journey, Trump with the laughs, but also those sentimental moments, which were crafted by his team, obviously, were really good.

Simply put, the tariffs will plunge Canada into a recession.

I sense it. I don't even know how to feel about this. I'm like, what? We're buying Gaza? Are we buying it or just taking it over? And I was saying to my team, I'm like, it feels a little like... You know, your best friend has pancreatic cancer and you feel really sorry for her, but instead of just feeling sorry for her, you somehow transfer the pancreas to your body.

Now you've got pancreatic... I'm not sure I wanted to help quite this much. I'm not sure I wanted to help quite this much. But I am open-minded to what Trump is saying. Let's play some sound just so people can hear from the president himself. Hold on. Sotless dropped off by... Doug Brunt, the Brunt Bureau here. OK, here it is in SOT2 where he's he's proposing this, by the way, Netanyahu's here.

He had a meeting with Trump and they had a joint presser last night and Trump surprised everybody. Even his senior staff reportedly did not know this was coming. I'm sure a couple of them did, but most of them did not. And there had been no like major announcement coming tonight. So everybody was like, what did he just say? And he did say something very significant. And he said it repeatedly.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It wasn't a mistake. So here's SOT2.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
So the proposal appears to be that we are going to... All right, and it hasn't been, like, sketched out exactly, but it appears to be that we... would not, though he gave an answer that was ambiguous, send troops necessarily over there, but that we are going to take over Gaza at least temporarily. We're going to level what's left of the buildings.

We're going to excavate the ground to get rid of the some 30,000 bombs that they say are still there planted and awaiting explosion or were on reserve for Hamas. that during that time, we are going to strongly encourage Egypt and Jordan to take the Palestinians that they have steadfastly resisted for years, and especially since 10-7. They don't want them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
They're like, this is the troublemaking group. And we don't want them moving into Egypt or Jordan. But he says they will take them. Trump actually said, they say they won't take them. I say they will. And that we're then going to develop Gaza into what Trump says will be like a new Riviera. And we're not going to pay for it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
No, I didn't know that we were going to do this. Otherwise I would have shot the team some elements. Maybe we'll drop them in later. But you remember when we launched this podcast, we were in New York and we were in the kids' playroom in a little corner with literally a desk Abby got off of either Wayfair or from Ikea. It was like a hundred dollars. I think she assembled it.

We're going to somehow get the Saudis, UAE, and I don't know who's the third to pay for it. And that then there's going to be beautiful buildings where everyone can go and work and visit like a tourist. But who's in charge at that point? He doesn't seem to be saying we'll own it forever, though he might be. Again, it's all very unclear today with me because it was unclear last night with Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show

But so far, I'm hearing very positive reaction from Alan Dershowitz, who's been a major advocate for Israel since the start. Ben Shapiro tweeted something out very, very positive. He tweeted out in part, undoubtedly the most extraordinary and unexpected element of Trump's first term was his remaking of the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.

He achieved that Nobel Prize-worthy accomplishment by thinking outside the box. recognizing hard realities and ignoring the conventional idiocy of the blob. Here he goes again with Gaza. This vision is absolutely transformative. And then you have Rand Paul. with the following. The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians. I thought we voted for America first.

We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers' blood. And the Palestinians don't seem too keen on it, you know, 18 hours in either. So what do you guys make of it?

Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Here's what we have so far in terms of world leader reaction, at least from that region of the world. Hamas. according to the New York Times, immediately rejected mass relocation. A senior Hamas official said that this is a recipe for creating chaos and tension. What's needed is the end of the occupation and the aggression against our people.

Then Egypt, their foreign minister spoke to the prime minister and the foreign minister of the Palestinian Authority about removing debris from Gaza, expediting humanitarian aid and starting recovery programs without the Palestinians leaving. So not going there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Jordan's King Abdullah II has also strongly opposed the plan, saying that peace can only be achieved through a two-state solution, not through forced relocation. Okay, there's not going to be a two-state solution. So fine, we can continue pretending that that's on the table, but it's not. Then there's Turkey.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
It's even wrong to open that discussion, to open that to discussion, says the foreign minister. Turkey's against any initiative that would exclude the Gazan people. And the Saudis, their foreign minister said in a, quote, sharply worded reaction that it is backing an independent Palestinian state and that backing is a firm, steadfast and unwavering position.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
So, I mean, no one's talking about a Palestinian state in this Trump plan. It's like they're going to disperse to Egypt and Jordan, the ones who have not wanted them all along. I mean, I got to be honest with you guys. I don't... How are they living in Palestine right now? How's anybody living in Gaza? It's... It's rubble.

You're very sweet. I would love to take all the credit, but the truth is my team is totally... They're not underrated because no one's underrating them, but they're just not, they don't receive enough affection and love. That's one negative of the way things are set up, right? Like you guys know me, you see me, you hear me, but you need to know the team.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And so far as Gaza... I mean, it still exists. They've already been kicked out. It's like Israel did that. Gaza is destroyed. That is done. I don't think, now if we go beyond Gaza, if we're talking about all of Palestine and the West Bank, yeah, you got to kick people out, but Gaza's done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Unless somebody goes in there and rebuilds it, there is no long-term sustaining of that area for these Palestinians. So they're going to have to go somewhere or do something. And he's basically saying, we're not going to fund the rebuilding while you're sitting there. Get out, we'll level it, we'll clean it up, but for a price.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
We're going to need to rebuild it and we may have some stake in it on an ongoing basis. Again, that piece of it is unclear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
To say that he's moving them out is not true because I think, really, Israel did that.

It's bold. You have to give him points for a bold plan that both Ben and Alan Dershowitz, like two of our most prominent Jewish Americans, said, I never even envisioned something like this. And Alan Dershowitz is going off. Like for 40 plus years, 50 years, I've been at the forefront of dealing with every single Israeli leader and American president in trying to forge a better situation for Israel.

never even crossed my mind that this would be a potential possibility and sounded excited about the fact that this very outside-the-box thinker, President Trump, threw something new into the mix that everybody in the world was like, huh? What? I think it needs some time to be digested, to be kicked around, to be criticized.

They're private people that they probably wouldn't love that anyway. But I do just want to say like the work of my producers, my booker, our tech staff is really what makes the show sing. And I can be a total pain in the ass behind the scenes.

That's all fair too, but not to be knee-jerk dismissed because the one thing we know, Camille, is that nothing has worked so far.

He took what he got in exchange for a 30-day extension on his tariffs. So I think Trump would say the deal's not done. Those are the first initial concessions. And within 30 days, we should be negotiating on all the things I really want. So we'll see.

So what you're saying, Matt Welsh, what you're saying is it's like when we're at the dinner table and I can't get my three kids to agree on who's going to do the cleanup. And I, in an exasperation, just say, fine, I'll do it. And my kids, being sweet kids, know that I worked all day and that if I cooked a meal, I'm especially bitter. And so are they, because they had to eat it. No, no, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Exactly right. We got it. We got it. It's not going to get better if I then have to do the cleanup of the meal. And then at that point, they're all like, all right, we'll do it. We'll work it out. We'll work it out. The three of us will do it together or one of us will do it. What you're saying is that Trump is the me in that situation being like, fine, nobody else is going to solve it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
I'll solve it. Hoping that the three other people at the table stand up to say, you know what? We'll handle it.

Like when things go wrong, I'm not an easy taskmaster. You know, I really have a very high bar for quality on the show because I want you guys to experience that. So my team, Handles that. They handle those moments. And we've all been together for a year. I mean, that's why everybody stays.

Is it an ownership interest in the the Gaza Riviera? Because that seemed Trump is saying we're not going to pay for this.

Here's let me give you a little Trump sound because he filled in a few of these blanks. I mean, again, we're still unclear and he was still ambiguous. But you should hear directly from the president on first the question of U.S. troops. So five.

Then Politico, following up, spoke to an unnamed Trump official who they report did not accept the premise that Trump's plan would require American troops in Gaza. Expect plenty more pushback on that assumption from the White House today. This official argued that it's in the interest of other Arab players like ISIS.

Saudi Arabia to find a solution to the conflict and that Trump throwing his ideas out there might inspire others to counter, as the man himself says, we'll see. So that's kind of my dinner party, you know, possibility, the dinner party.

Let's just go with the what if for a moment here. Trump is a builder. This actually is an area, cleaning out a wasteland, a construction site, removing destroyed buildings, and putting up enormous, lovely new ones. That is something he actually has some expertise in. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
What if he actually could, with money from the Saudis and the Jordanians and the Egyptians and the UAE and maybe some American money, build what he says could be there? Here is Saat 3.

Canadian Debbie and I have been together since 2007, since I started my very first show. It's amazing. At Fox News. And then Abby came in 2009. Wow.

Sorry, one more, you guys. Keep those in mind, right? So there's Trump saying could be like the Riviera, the Riviera of the Middle East, then saying, I do see a long-term ownership position, ownership for the United States. And then here is the Jared Kushner sound in part that you guys just referred to, his son-in-law.

I'm very interested to see how he reacts.

It's like, look, there's so many shows you can go to where it's, you know, it's kind of like hack partisan kisses, right? Like sweet nothings. But I think the audience of the show genuinely wants facts. They want opinion too, but they don't want to be misled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Well, because here's the problem. Like, in part, we're treating Hamas like they're rational humans who we can just strike a deal with. And they're absolutely barbaric. I mean, what they did to Israel on 10-7 is animalistic in its... viciousness and they don't value human life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Their charter makes that clear that the way they behave makes that clear that all those UN videos of, um, or it wasn't the UN. I can't remember who put it together, but of the Palestinian children talking about how they can't wait to die for the cause just so they can martyr themselves. Um, and it, it, kill Israelis.

Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And even with the Hamas fighters calling their parents for praise in the middle of murdering, I murdered four Jews. Yeah. Kids, parents. That's not someone we can negotiate with. That's not someone who's going to be lured into peacefulness by a big, beautiful building that he might be able to swing by the spa on Sunday at Camille. I don't like, I don't, I'm open.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
I have no solutions for the Middle East. None. So I'm as open-minded to this one as another, but I do think this is, this fundamental truth about the people who are in Hamas must be dealt with in making our decision.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Let's say he gets it built. Let's say he makes Gaziera as populated and with the skyscraper hotels as Lower Manhattan. Who would stay in one of those? Like, yeah, sustaining it over time. Hamas fighter to go in there with the bomb laden backpack. And that's what's going to start happening. Right. It's like you cannot trust these people like you cannot. They are not a peaceful people.

I love it. It's sort of my unofficial tagline now on the show. That's great. But anyway, but it also requires a supportive family that doesn't mind when at the last second you got to jet off someplace and cover something big and, you know, God knows how many triple drops you've done with the kids because...

Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
They do not desire to live in peace. What they really want to do is kill Jews. That's really what they get off on. And and Americans, too. I think they'd be thrilled to kill Americans as Jewish supporters, Israeli supporters, if we stay in Ghazira.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Right. We don't want their bus attacks coming over here. But I also do feel like, well, I don't have a better solution. And I do think knowing Trump's constant negotiation tactics, there's a high likelihood this could just be trying to spur someone else into action. Like, sure, I take your point that maybe these Middle East folks want to see the United States do this because it's to our peril.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
But maybe, you know, Trump, I think we can all agree, knows more than we know about what's actually happening behind the scenes in these countries. And I'll bet you he does have a game plan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
One thing that I think it's worth- Can we talk about the thread that we were just touching on? Because I raised this with Marco Rubio last week, saying it's a really tough time to be Secretary of State as a Republican, given what's happening within the Republican Party, within MAGA, on the issue of foreign policy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
We use Tucker because he's one of, if not the leader of this strain within MAGA, but there are millions and millions of Americans who feel like Tucker does. which is we should be truly putting America first and withdrawing from these international conflicts and that this is Israel's problem, not ours. Why should we be spending all this money?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And forgive me for trying to paraphrase Tucker's more complex view, but this is a thumbnail sketch, that this is Israel's problem, that they should be prioritizing it and that the Middle East should be working on this. But we have our own problems. It's the number one cause of death now, the fentanyl poisoning of younger Americans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
You know, I'm off some.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Why isn't the money that we're about to spend or the efforts that we're about to spend going toward us? But as you know, within the Republican Party, there's a much more neocony strain and even just maybe not even neocon, but more bellicose, more hawkish that is very pro-Israel. And Marco Rubio, I would say, I don't think he was totally neoconny. I think he's more of like a hawk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
Okay, neoconny and then kind of maybe downgraded to hawky. And then kind of flirting with the more isolationist. So I feel like Trump is telling us that he's more with the Marco Rubios of the world, right? Like this is pretty aggressive. He bombed ISIS in Somalia. He says, I think I think we might be getting ready to take Greenland by force, maybe Panama, too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
I don't I'm laughing because I don't actually think he'll do that, but he he's not ruled it out. So I think we're kind of seeing the boss message on where he actually stands on these issues.

Criminals can forge a single document, file it with a recorder, and just like that, your home and its title is stolen. They own the title to your home. They take out loans against your property, draining your equity, and you would not even know it until it's too late. And here's the really scary part. Credit monitoring will not protect you from this.

We are celebrating here at the MK Show our 1,000th episode as a podcast. It's not our 1,000th episode as a YouTube show, though. It took us a year before we added a camera to our offering and went live on YouTube. And I think we're on episode 850 or so on YouTube. And while we're on the subject of YouTube, we just got our numbers in for January. And it's just amazing. It's amazing.

God bless you, YouTube followers, because you're really making this show sing over there. In the month of January, I'll give you a feel. CBS News had 65 million views on their YouTube channel. They have 6.5 million subscribers. We have 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube, all right? So they have double what we have. So they had 65 million views.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Um, NBC news on their YouTube channel has 11 million subscribers and they had 132 million views, right? So 132 million and 65 million, we have 3.3 million and we had 143 million views on just for the MK show just in January. Like I'm crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. Right. With our, our 3.3 gave us 143 million NBC's 11 million gave them 132 million. CNN, they had 151 million.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
So just a little bit above us and they have 17.5 million, 17.5 million. And they only had a touch more than we did. That's all of CNN, every single program over there versus just the MK show. So I just, it's amazing the power of this kind of an audience that is like, Fuck off corporate media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And the reason people love the show so much is because we talk about things like the Monroe Doctrine. That's really what people want. Bring them in. So you've got 30 seconds to pivot off of that point onto one we understand.

I hear you, but he's too smart and he knows the Republican Party too well. He knows that there is zero appetite for that. The truth social he just sent out is, I want Iran to be a great and successful country, but one that cannot have a nuclear weapon. Reports that the U.S., working in conjunction with Israel, is going to blow Iran into smithereens, end quote, are greatly exaggerated, in all caps.

Good luck with that. Okay, let's see. There's so much more to get to. I'm trying to get my arms around where to go next. Let's talk about this USAID thing because that one's getting really interesting. So I think most Americans had never even heard of this organization or didn't, you know, if they've heard of it, they didn't know what it does.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And I still am not totally up to speed on what it does, but it appears to be a group that is overwhelmingly hard left in terms of its employees and the people we staff it with and the people that then create these NGOs to which this USAID then gives its money. Yeah. funneling to various causes that are very woke in many cases, like large LGBTQ and that kind of promotional stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
The defenders say that's not, not all what it appears to be that some of those so-called woke projects in these dicey third world countries are actually fronts for groups that will be democracy checks that will quietly organize, uh, you know, democratic opposition to tyrants, that kind of thing.

So it could be just, you know, blatant manipulation of foreign governments under the auspices of Black Lives Matter. You know, I don't know the truth. But what I do know is Elon, is getting all sorts of bad press this week because Doge is kicking the tires first of this organization. Like they're gonna kick a lot of tires of a lot of organizations, but they started with this one.

And his conclusion was, it wasn't just a matter of getting the bad worm out of the bad apple. It's the entire thing is worms. There's no apple. There's no, absolutely no flesh of the fruit. And the whole thing needs to go. It's been shut down now. Everybody's been told you're on temporary leave, paid leave. And only the essential workers will be allowed back into the building.

Trump Floats America Taking Over Gaza, Major Girls' Sports Executive Order, and Celebrating Episode 1,000, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1000
And we'll tell you by Thursday at three, I think, whether you are an essential worker at USAID. And, you know, when you look at like who's really objecting to this, it's all people we don't like. Like Ilhan Omar is really upset about it. So like I'm already in favor of it. And then I read today that Politico somehow managed to get $8.1 million of USAID dollars. How'd that happen?

We heard the Megyn Kelly show hasn't taken one red cent from the federal government. None's been offered and none's been taken. But what is that about? And if that's true, how are they reporting objectively on any of this? Yeah. Every news piece you hear about who gets money from this group is disturbing. We had the press secretary out there the other day giving a list that was deeply disturbing.

And then what we had today or yesterday was Democrats outside of the Treasury Department protesting Elon because they're very ticked off about this and about him. And I just think they see an opportunity because Trump's so popular right now. to kick the right-hand man as opposed to the main man. But take a listen to what happened outside of state in SOT 22.

Let me clarify my political reporting. Steve Krakauer, our EP, tells me that those $8.1 million are apparently employees are agencies buying some very expensive subscription to Politico. It's not that Politico got grants or other federal funding. OK, so I don't totally understand the clarification.

But I think I think they have a very good argument that they can all but defund it. There is an argument that they cannot. But having looked at both arguments, I'm convinced they can all but defund it. And I also think I don't care that they've made commitments to do these wacky things. They should stop.

It's a good question. And honestly, like I look at this and I think it's so bad. It's so egregious. Like we there should be an investigation on into the people who allowed these expenses to begin with. And we absolutely need to pump the brakes right now that we've discovered it. That's 100 percent the right thing to do.

Now, that may take an act of Congress because it is an independent agency created by Congress. But right now, Marco Rubio says he's been appointed the acting director, so that's good.

Libs of TikTok had a great tweet, too, outlining some more of them. $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes, $2 million promoting tourism to Lebanon, $20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq.

If we're going to take a hard look at the Matt Taibis of the world, which was started under Joe Biden, why can't we spend a sharp accountant for USAID? And the answers in both cases are because these are political decisions, 100% political decisions. By the way, Trump should drop that Matt Taibi IRS thing and he should pull the feds off of James O'Keefe too. Um, I find it very disturbing.

Great ad by our friend Jennifer Say and her XXXY athletic wear brand. Love the clothing line and love what they stand for. They have the guts and the balls. The people over at Nike do not. And that message is right on. It's very timely and they're thrilled, I'm sure, today because the Trump EO that is expected to happen at 3 p.m. today is entitled Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports.

that it's not immediately clear exactly what the contents of the order will entail, but one option is for President Trump to direct the Education Department to interpret federal Title IX rules as barring the participation of boys, pretending to be girls, in female sports categories. That's my phraseology. Of course, the Wall Street Journal was more PC-ish.

In the face of such an order likely affecting all but a handful of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's 1,100 member schools, the NCAA has indicated that it will move rapidly to change its rules, depending on what Trump issues today.

Clarity on this issue at the federal level would be very helpful. So... this is it guys. I mean, Trump already issued an EO saying you cannot change genders. That's not a thing. Men are men, women are women. And that's the federal government's policy. Get pronouns out of emails, get any teaching that you can transition your sex out of all federal agencies.

But here is how the Washington Post has reacted. This order set to ricochet through school districts and college campuses across the country. So they are acknowledging that this will have the full effect of law. And then they quite quote the Human Rights Campaign, a far left organization that used to just stand for gay rights and equality that most people could get behind.

Yeah, maybe. I launched this the end of September, I think. Of 2020, for sure. I launched it September 2020. So, you know, we had three months of the window.

Well, anyways, I do sincerely, like... guys like you, guys like the cast of Ruthless, the EJs, that's what makes me want to get up in the morning and come to this desk, right? I love our conversations. I adore hearing your viewpoints. I don't think I could ever do a show where it's just me. Occasionally I'll do one where it's just like, I'm going to rail on something.

I mean, left and right, those in the press, those who are on the left-hand side of the aisle in this hearing. And, you know, They weren't even trying to hide it, basically. They just wanted to make... If half this stuff had been said outside of the U.S. Senate, they could all be sued for defamation. I mean... It was amazing. Look, I will say this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I would too, but I do have my eye over on Senator Cassidy on the Republican side, who is a question mark. He's a doctor. To hear him question RFKJ, you might think he was a Democrat. He seemed to be laying traps for him. It was all like... What is your plan to do this within Medicare? What is your plan to do that within Medicaid?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Explain the difference between this obscure program every lay person has never heard of and this other. So it seemed to be like a little knowledge test for him. Meanwhile, it's like that is not why Trump nominated him. Obviously, he will have the help of career bureaucrats over at HHS who can get him up to speed on all these things. He'll learn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But it almost seemed like he was trying to embarrass him or maybe create the case for Republicans that Bobby's not qualified for this job. That was my. My feeling, I don't know, but we need Cassidy to be a yes or he needs to be hearing from Elon Musk's super PAC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You've already got Scott Pressler, who got all those Republicans registered in Pennsylvania, saying I will personally make sure Kennedy suffers electorally or anybody on the Republican side who doesn't vote for him. And these people mean business. Don Jr. 's got a whole wrangling group of money people. who know how to scare these Republican senators. They're not trying to scare the Dems.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
They're trying to scare the Republicans who are trying to stop Trump from getting his nominees. So if I were Cassidy, I would be careful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
They didn't go hard personal on him like they did with Pete Hegseth. They could have brought it up. You know, obviously, Bobby Kennedy is a recovering heroin addict. He said he's been sober for 42 years. They could have brought up the personal behavior with women. It's not exactly stellar on the history there. They steer clear of that, which was good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And the other thing was a Republican senator asked him, Michael, are you you know, if we have another like pandemic type thing, are you going to go over and, you know, interfere at the CDC and the NIH and with these doctors who are coming up with... Meanwhile, I was like, I certainly hope he's going to. Yes, I hope his answer is yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
That's why we want him there, to make sure we don't have another drunk on his own wine. Dr. Fauci is sending out edicts. Now, if all goes well... We're not going to have that because we're going to have normal heads of these agencies. But I mean, he did say, no, I won't interfere. But like they're not getting it. They're not understanding like some Republicans.

Senator Ron Johnson was a star today. He was the star of the whole hearing. He asked all the right questions. In fact, I'll give the audience just a flavor of him after just so many beatdowns by the left. Here's what Ron Johnson did. Stop 12.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
That was amazing, Michael. And RFK took that mantle and ran with it repeatedly when given the opportunity to say what he plans to do, which only came from folks on the right. He was absolutely brilliant with it and really sold himself.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But they, man, are obsessed with his stance on vaccines. Obsessed. And like either unwilling or unable to see what he really feels about them. I mean, look, he's not a huge proponent. I think that's fair. But they just want to paint him as somebody who wants to ban all vaccines. And he doesn't talk about banning at all. He's very against vaccine mandates.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Okay, we have that sound bite. I'm just trying to look through where it is, where he defends himself on these. Here it is, SOT 17, on whether he's a conspiracy theorist. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Not yet. Exactly right. I mean, I feel like that, too, virtually all Americans, virtually all Americans can relate to that. You know, on whether this was a lab leak, you know, COVID, whether it was Russian disinformation in that Hunter Biden laptop. I mean, you know, this is something that's become so commonplace that it's a meme online, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Like, wait 10 minutes and all my conspiracy theories will be proven true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
He was on totally solid ground. Here he is describing what what he's doing there. Right. I mean, this is you kind of forget because we cover him as a news item so often. But this is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., You know, his wife is a very successful actress out in Hollywood. He's led a very big life. He's been an extremely successful attorney.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And much like President Trump, frankly, much like Pete Hegseth, who was making, according to the disclosures, over $2 million a year at Fox News and is now making about $250,000. they don't this is not for the money they actually want to get into public service to do some good so here he was speaking to that in 13. i don't think anybody is going to be able to do this like i have
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And in some cases, he wants more research being done before we push these vaccines on kids and has joined as a lawyer in some lawsuits against the manufacturers. Look. Here's here's one of the lowlights of the day. It was actually very funny. So I enjoyed the moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It's so well said, right? He doesn't have to. We should be grateful. People, they're not even grateful for Elon Musk, these leftists. It's like the most brilliant man on the face of the planet wants to work for us for free. The only correct answer is to say, yes, thank you.

who I mentioned at the top, Democrat from Oregon. How much has he taken from pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies? $1.2 million over the course of his career. It didn't happen just yesterday, but still, that's a lot of change in Washington. And here's a taste of how it went between him and RFKJ today, SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But this is what we instead of talking about what he's going to do to try to get the chemicals out of our food supply, try to work with farmers and ranchers to help them avoid these toxic pesticides. in the way that they're using them now and to the measure that they're using them now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
That was very good. And all it needed at the end was that cherry on the Sunday about his one point two million from Big Pharma, which is why he's so concerned about what Bobby Kennedy has said on vaccines.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Instead of talking about that and exactly how he plans to get all of these ultra-processed foods out of our food supply or make them just a minor offering as opposed to the dominant thing you see on yourselves and at your school lunches, instead of spending time on that, the Democrats...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
he wasn't the only one who's been i believe is my opinion compromised by the amount of money they've taken from big pharma elizabeth warren pocahontas is big on the big pharma money uh she has let me see i want to get the number correct in um

RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah, she and Bernie Sanders are the two top senators who received the most pharmaceuticals or health product donations in the 2020 election cycle when they each ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. She received just under a million dollars, $822,000.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And what did she do when she got her chance to question RFKJ, who spent his whole life suing these big pharma companies for what they've done and suing environmental, toxin producers for what they've done to our lakes and our rivers and so on. Here's how that went, Sat 16.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
that was actually i thought a very effective exchange on his part right because there is a difference i i understand what she was trying to do and it's very clear he can't be suing vaccine companies or drug companies while hhs director that's a no-brainer she wanted him to say that he wouldn't sue vaccine or drug companies for four years after why what is the incentive like that
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It doesn't make sense to me to put that prohibition on somebody after they've left the office. It's not going on the payroll of any individual plaintiff who might be suing big pharma over a vaccine injury like that. She's saying, yes, he was receiving some payments. We push people to this law firm that has a lawsuit now over Gardasil, the HPV vaccine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
wanted to talk about baby clothes like Bernie Sanders, who decided to bring up this onesie, which you're putting on the screen now, put out by RFKJ's nonprofit Children's Health Defense Fund, which he's now had to leave because of this appointment. And Bernie Sanders was really upset that there's a baby onesie that reads unvaxxed and unafraid. Watch this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
and showed that he is getting some sort of a kickback or some sort of a payment for that referral. And he's done an ad trying to tell people, if you've been injured, you can go to this law firm. There's nothing inappropriate about that whatsoever. He's been very outspoken about that vaccine and does not believe in it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And there are some people, many, many people actually, who say their child has been hurt by that vaccine. But she tried to turn it into the same thing as like an HHS secretary leaving and taking a job with Pfizer, which would create an incentive while in the job to just give Pfizer a pass for four years. It didn't work the other way around.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You can see why they're scared. All right. Going back now to my other least favorite senator out there today, and that is Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia. He was the governor. Now he is a senator and he was scared. dripping with disdain for Bobby. I mean, you could feel the negative vibration all the way across the room where I was seated. He clearly can't stand him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And by the end of his cross-examination, you really kind of wanted to punch him in the face. Don't punch him in the face, not calling for violence. I'm just saying, like a surge built inside of you of like, this guy is a total asshole. He just felt really disrespectful. You could sense his hatred. He was shaking, by the way. I don't understand these senators who shake when they cross-examine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It's kind of what they do for a living now. But here's a flavor of Mark Warner.

RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
What? Like, it's just all these snide comments. I don't even really understand. There was no evidence for that. All these people with vaccines are going to be out of work. It's just every... I understand you're trying to score points, but get something substantive and write it on the substance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
What they kept doing was just these little snide, snarky comments at the end of RFKJ, if they ever even let him answer, Michael.

The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And in particular, I want to ask you about this executive order by Trump on so-called trans surgeries and procedures for minors. Another executive order, another thing of beauty. And this is what he did yesterday in part.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a group of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our nation's history and it must end.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called transition, in quotes, of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures. It calls for...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
a reversal to the absolutely disgusting reliance on and acceptance of guidance from this group WPATH, which is really, I mean, PATH should stand for pathology given the way this group tries to run the trans medical community. It calls for defunding of agencies that provide grants to medical schools and hospitals who are providing these treatments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So it's a threat of federal funding to your institution if you provide these procedures on minors. Calls for the Secretary of HHS to ensure treatments are not covered by federally funded programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. We don't want federal taxpayer money being used to fund for these. Also called to exclude chemical and surgical mutilation of children coverage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
from other related programs, because it's not just Medicare and Medicaid that, you know, wind up getting used for this and goes on to say the DOJ shall convene state's attorneys general to coordinate the enforcement of laws against genital mutilation across all American states and territory. It goes on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
We don't have enough time to go through all of it today, but this is a thing of beauty and it will literally save lives. What did you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah, I mean, I want to study the order more and talk with some of my lawyer friends about it, but he can't undo a state law that allows this stuff, like these radical leftist states by executive order. But he can withhold funding from universities and lower schools and...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
and hospitals uh and private schools some of which take some federal money um he can withhold money from the institutions that perform or promote these procedures and that is huge i mean that's a real blessing because the almighty dollar is what they actually care about and let me i mean if he actually says we're not going to pay
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Medicare funds or Medicaid funds at an institution doing this to children, everyone will stop. There'll be tons of legal challenges over all of this. Can it be done? Can something that's already been authorized in terms of funding by Congress be revoked by executive order in this kind of threat? And all of that must be fleshed out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But to me, what's important today is the statement, the intention, and the we're not screwing around anymore. This is a scourge that will be looked back on as an infamous, horrific dereliction of morality for decades to come. And President Trump said it stops now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
to run the Department of Health and Human Services in 2025 America and implement President Donald Trump's Make America Healthy Again agenda. His opponents didn't get it. Even some of the Republicans didn't get it. But for the most part, they did well, the Republican senators. A couple, which I'll go over, were annoying. But the Democrats once again made fools out of themselves.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah, if the morality of it, the immorality of it doesn't make them stop, maybe the threat of losing federal funding will because that's why they do it to the point you made earlier. It costs a lot of money to have these procedures and then they have a patient for life in both the hospital and with big pharma. Two other points I just want to make. One question and one point.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You mentioned what happened in Colombia. That's one of the things I'm going to be talking about when I sit down tomorrow. Just a programming note for with Marco Rubio, our new senator, our new secretary of state in his first long form interview. So tomorrow in his first long form interview, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sits with yours truly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And 100 percent, we are going to be talking about the message that was sent to Colombia in October. all other nations when it comes to Trump's FAFO policies, because he's the guy who's going to have to be the face of those with most of these nations. So looking forward to that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Then secondly, I can't let you go without asking you about the historic legislation that Donald Trump just signed into law, the Lakin Riley Act. Michael, this is like it's bittersweet, you know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
This 22-year-old nursing student with her entire life in front of her was brutalized by this illegal who had no business being here, who had been caught for lesser violations in New York and then put back out on the street to hurt somebody else. They didn't care. New York City and New York State are both sanctuary cities and states. They put him back out on the street.

He went down to Georgia and he killed this young, promising, innocent woman. And today... with support. It was bipartisan, you know, by a lot. I mean, we had some 43 Democrats who crossed over. The vast majority still didn't. But still, there was a fair amount of bipartisan support on this. President Trump signed this, his first piece of legislation into law, saying if you arrest somebody,

RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yes, obviously for a major crime, but even for a minor crime, they must be referred to the feds and that state's attorney generals, attorneys general, have the right if they are in a state that. where federal lack of enforcement of these policies leads to problems within their state, they have the right to sue the feds for not enforcing the law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And that's obviously for down the line when the Trump administration is gone. If there's like a Kamala Harris administration and we open the borders back up again and we lean into these sanctuary jurisdictions, it's empowering the red states and the border states to do something about it. God rest her soul. It's never something you would celebrate. It's just her death was not meaningless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994

We spent actual time on a baby onesie in today's HHS confirmation hearing. Are you supportive of these onesies? America wants the truth. I mean, to be perfectly honest, I prefer the little footie onesies. Keeps their little tootsies warm when you put them in. What? This is ridiculous.

Alison Phillips, Lakin's mom. And when she teared up, President Trump, who was standing behind her, reached out and rubbed her back. Just a small, sweet, kind gesture from a man who made sure that young woman did not die in vain. And an emotional day, Michael. And what a message from President Trump, who ran first and foremost more than anything else on the immigration issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Meanwhile, guarantee you, those onesies are selling out like wildfire right now on the Children's Health Defense website. By the way, what does it even mean, unvaxxed and unafraid? It could be about the COVID vaccine, which actually they were telling us should be given to babies and young people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I have to say, it's like I, you know, that night before the election, Michael, I showed up in Pittsburgh to speak for Trump. And we didn't know if he was going to win or lose at that point. But I wanted to respond to the allegation that he wouldn't protect women. He had said he would be a protector of women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And his critics on the left rolled their eyes and made fun of him and said it was an absurdity. And one of the names I mentioned that night was Lake and Riley, that that's who I would be thinking of when I voted for Donald Trump. And I was. And to see her mom there today, who, you know, it's like, my God, your worst nightmare, but his empathy toward her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And I mean, really the empathy is manifested in the language of that now law that he signed in his first act. And then when it was all said and done, After she spoke and they hugged, he gave her the pen. That's like kind of emotional thing about it. He gave her the pen that he signed that bill into law with. And that's what she has now. And she has that instead of her daughter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It's meaningful, but it's not enough. And what really needs to happen is the Democrats who put these policies into place. And they are still in place in many cities and states now. like the one I grew up in New York, that they need to be punished. They need to be removed from power.

Wow. The great Michael Knowles. Love talking to him. Up next, Link Lauren. He worked on RFKJ's presidential campaign, and he will give his perspective on what we saw at today's hearing. Don't go away. There's a real and growing threat to your home and your equity, and it's called title fraud. Here's how it works.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Criminals can forge a single document, file it with a recorder, and just like that, your home is stolen. Your title of your home is stolen. They take out loans against your property and draining your equity, and you would not even know it until it's too late. Here's the really scary part. Credit monitoring will not protect you from this.

And it's basically just the parents' way of saying, you know what, I refuse your mandates and I will make my own decisions for my children. Or maybe it is about the full vaccine schedule that they push on us to give our little kids because there are a lot of parents out there, millions of them, in fact, that think it's too much too soon.

We're going to do more now on the RFKJ confirmation hearing today, where I attended in person. It was eye-opening in some unexpected ways. I was very pleased to be seated next to Callie and Casey Means. We love them. They're right at the heart of the Maha movement. And one of the reasons I want him to be confirmed so badly is I have every expectation
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Why are we giving the Hep C vaccine to babies, which prevents STDs? Not a lot of babies in need of that. So... Whatever. He tried to make this into like some federal case against the evil Bobby Kennedy. And you heard Kennedy's response there. Another big moment came when Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, she's a Dem. And I got news for you, madam.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
that those two will be very involved in whatever projects he pursues there. I mean, Callie is a whistleblower from inside of the corrosive big food industry who saw the light, exited, and then has been jumping up and down about the toxins that are being put in our food supply ever since. And Dr. Casey Means wrote Good Energy. She's been on the show numerous times. She's brilliant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Stanford trained doctor, was a surgeon at Stanford post finishing her residency or Oregon. I can't remember. Anyway, the point is Stanford, Stanford. And she walked away from a very lucrative career as a surgeon because she was sick and tired of seeing what big medicine was doing to us. It just they put the incentive to keep us sick, to never solve anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So those two were there front and center right behind the Kennedy family. many of whom sat right behind their dad, their husband, their cousin. As you know, it's a big family and it's not without its losers. We'll get to that. Joining me now to discuss it, our friend Link Loren, who is a former senior advisor to RFKJ during his presidential campaign. Link, welcome back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Exactly right. It was amazing when he, I think we have this actually, when he left the hearing room at the end of the day, they broke out into cheers, not the senators, the spectators who were in the audience. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You just don't see that every day where like he's the head of a movement, Link. That's what they don't seem to be getting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yes, and as I said, there were moms in the audience with their children today trying to send a message to these senators that they mean business. These mama bears, I think, are so largely responsible for this even happening, right? For Maha, for RFKJ getting elevated in some part, for Trump winning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Even if they might not have loved Trump himself, they got to the polls because they believed that he would make good on his promises on Maha, and he's doing that with this appointment. The family members are disgusting. Not those who showed up today, but Caroline Kennedy, who's the daughter of JFK and her son writes her son, Jack Schlossberg.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I don't know which one was worse, but let me start with Caroline Kennedy, who what? I mean, Caroline, can I realize your dad was president like, OK, good for you is a long time ago. But I and then you are a big Democrat donor. So they made you ambassador to Australia. which doesn't mean you know anything, anything at all, but she still thinks that people want to hear from her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
OK, your state is getting redder by the second. So I would tread carefully if I were you. And you know what else? It tends to be that the further west the state is, the more Maha is popular. My California friends who have been voting Democrat, some of them their whole lives, love Maha. And I guarantee you, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto has a lot of them in her state, too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And I guess in some leftist circles, they do because she's got the name Kennedy. Okay, he was killed in 1963. It's like, she was cute. She's the little daughter. We had a part of Camelot, which was a lie anyway, but it's like... Who is like, gee, I really want to hear from Caroline Kennedy about RFKJ and what he was like 30 years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Here she is in a video that is a reenactment of a letter that that was mentioned by some Democrats today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I mean, just to recap, I admire him, but he caused family members deaths and he's a liar and a cheat and also a predator. None of which was actually supported in her little shtick, not to mention the Kennedy family addictions, which had a long history that predates RFKJ link.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
The nerve to try to blame the Kennedy family addiction problem on one Kennedy, right? Maybe he did do drugs with or drink with other family members. You know who else did? Your Uncle Teddy. Caroline, who was one of the biggest drunks we've ever seen in public service to the point where he killed a woman. He killed Mary Jo Kopechny when they drove off a bridge in Chappaquiddick.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And as the car was falling to the ground under the water, he left her. He walked away and waited hours before reporting it. So maybe you should talk about addiction problems with a different branch of the family, not to mention her own father's pill popping, which has become so legendary that now it gets talked about like we had an active addict as a president in the White House.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But it's all Bobby Kennedy's fault for introducing people to or doing drugs with some other family members. Now she wants to blame it all on him. I mean, Link, it totally undermined her credibility. And like she tried to comment as like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You know, the libs who thought that the right was crazy and was neoconny and wanted to spy on them, and they weren't much akin to that. They weren't friendly toward it. They like Maha. And this is the face of Maha, so she better watch it. She decided it'd be super fun to frame RFKJ as just a loser stooge for this Trump administration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Right. OK, but now can you speak to as somebody who knows him well, the baby chickens and the mice in the blender led to a perverse scene of despair and violence. That's what she accused him of housing in some basement where baby chickens were being sacrificed. It's not funny. Forgive me, Peter. I'm not laughing at the baby chickens.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It's just I'm laughing at the desperation and the attempt to take him down. Perverse scene of despair and violence by this predator who lies and cheats. He kills my relatives, but I love him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I kind of want to know more. Were they live mice, live baby chickens? Because I'm just saying we all eat adult chickens many times a week. It's not nice, but we do it because we're at the top of the food chain. The mice, I mean, it's sad, but you can go to Petco right now and buy a bunch of live mice to feed to your pet snake or your pet whatever. It's a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
The baby chickens, I don't know, that's weird. But I kind of want to know more. I'm glad it didn't come up today, but don't try that at home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah. All right. So the apple didn't fall far from the tree because her son, Jack Schlossberg, posted a video about a week ago, which is really despicable. It appears to be making fun of Bobby's speech issue, his vocal cord issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
How many leftists absolutely laid into Donald Trump in 1516 because on the campaign trail, they accused him of mocking a reporter's disability, which Trump denied he was doing. Not a peep. There were so many likes on this video. It was no Republican liking that shit. Who would do that to a family member?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Right. I mean, it's like you want to, I just feel like the, his deceased grandfather would be shocked, would be horrified. And by the way, Caroline Kennedy was like, I don't try to speak for my father or my uncle, but they would both think he's a disgrace.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So now she wants us to know she's vouching for the fact that Bobby's father would find his own son, who's just an uncle to her, absolutely disgraceful. But she never speaks for him, nor her own father, who also would hate RFKJ.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah. He's been in the news a lot this past year and none of it has been good. Then there's this. This is so Kennedy. And I'm talking about modern day Kennedy. We weren't around when the true alleged Camelot was around, but that was no Camelot either. JFK was banging everything with legs. I mean, it was like absolutely no loyalty or faithfulness to his wife, including the White House intern.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Okay. I'm just like, okay, whatever. We were sold a bag of goods because they were Democrats. They weren't doing that to the Republicans. Those people were getting impeached thanks to Woodward and Bernstein. But Maria Shriver weighs in now on the Caroline Kennedy video.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Just to, like, we're such good people. Oh my God, we're so good. We Kennedys, we're so strong and we always do the right thing, except for him. He's the black sheep. She, on X, posted in response to Caroline's video, Courage is when you do something hard, heartbreaking, and painful, and you do it anyway. Love you, Caroline. Always have, always will. Okay, so this is superfluous wording.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
She said the same thing twice. But in any event, this is so Kennedy, right? Like I'm digging the dagger into my loved one at his moment of need, like the most important moment of his life. I'm trying my best to absolutely humiliate him and kill his chances. And I'm noble. Just in case you didn't know how noble I am and how noble our family is, here I am, Maria Shriver, to tell you that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Okay. I guess Schlossberg, the guy, this is, again, JFK's grandson, Caroline's son, Apple Tree, posted this today. We have it cut. He's decided he really does like making fun of family members and others. No? Oh, it's a tweet? Okay. It's a post. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
which is responding to Nicole Shanahan. In fact, let me set it up. Here's what Nicole Shanahan posted. Yeah, and then here's his response. Here's Nicole Shanahan warning the senators who are beating up on RFKJ today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Right on, Nicole. So his response was, she's literally so hot. Who knew? Cannot imagine a senator being intimidated by this bird. That is the perfect tweet. That is exact. That is leftism. in a nutshell, right? Like if Tucker Carlson ever remarked on how hot Nicole Shanahan is, he'd be getting called a sexist pig by everyone over on Jack Schlossberg's side of the aisle. So he puts it in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Why? To diminish her. He's actually using it to diminish her down to her appearance, as we see with the follow up line, which shows he is not her fan. Cannot imagine a senator being intimidated by this bird. This bird, well, like this little breakable, sad, weak little thing who is scary to no one. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So it's like try to knock her down by reducing her just to her looks, then insult her as a weakling who no one is afraid of. This is the party that is pro woman. Right. Not not right. Not Trump, not RFKJ because he flew the coop to stay on the bird motif. It's perfectly on brand.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So this also happened on The View today where Joy Behar referred to the new press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, who did an amazing job this week. She's she's green and she's young, but she's very strong, very strong. And she's going to get even better. This is why she thinks Trump chose her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So that's why he chose Caroline Leavitt, according to the tolerant left, because of her looks. And I posted this out online. It's again, it's an attempt to diminish her. You know, she's nothing more than a pretty face. She can't be taken seriously. But I think you made this point on my show, like, let's face it, we really are making America hot again. Like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I said, we're about to have the hottest cabinet ever. And let's face it, Republicans in general these days, like that New York Magazine cover, I don't know. I just feel like Republicans are all about these days making an effort, pulling yourself together, presenting yourself well. There is an unusual percentage of good-looking people who support Donald Trump. I don't know what it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And then on the left, you have these lunatics shaving their heads, wearing their blue bracelets, having their enormous reading glasses everywhere. It's not a good look. It's not something young people are going to want to be associated with. And back to the original point, Joy Behar would be ripping on Jesse Waters if he said the only reason Joe Biden selected somebody was because she was a 10.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Though I can't think of anybody in his cabinet who'd come to. Anyway, whatever. What are your thoughts on it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
All right, now back to the hearing. I want to ask you a question. So we cannot afford to lose four senators, you know, and four Republicans, unless a Democrat crosses over. But we're not sure if there are any such Democrats willing to cross over. They should, because as we saw, a lot of these swing states where these Democrats come from voted for Trump. They voted for Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So it's not now Rhode Island is not one of them, though. Rhode Island is blue. It's very blue. But Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat who just really did is a soliloquy during his questioning, which I said actually some of it made a lot of sense in terms of like what's happening to our grannies and elder care.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So it's kind of a safe place to go because it wasn't about how bad Trump is or Republicans are or RFKJ has been. It really wasn't. though there was a tinge of it. But there's a lot of questioning about whether he could be a Dem to cross over, even though he's in a blue state, because they went to law school together. I think they were in each other's weddings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
I think there are other, like a long, long friendship between the two of them. Not sure if it's still in existence. Certainly didn't sound like it, given the way Sheldon Whitehouse signed off his little soliloquy today. We have a little bit of a cut. I'm gonna ask you about him, and then I'm gonna ask you about the Republican,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
senator cassidy who people are worried about so they're hoping for white house to cross and they're hoping that cassidy will not fall down and go with uh the rfkj haters first here's the democrat from rhode island sheldon whitehouse mr kennedy i only have five minutes with you so and i've got a lot of experience with cms so you're just gonna have to listen uh two things
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
He didn't give the chance to say one thing in response. But how do you like RFKJ's chances with Senator Whitehouse?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Now, there were some who believed that Cortez Masto could potentially be a yes vote for RFKJ because of the reasons I just stated. I didn't see that today in the room. Doesn't mean she won't eventually do it. But the general wisdom in there was that none of these Dems who might be open to the idea of RFKJ, who was a Democrat two minutes ago that they loved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Thank you. Honestly, these Democrats got behind Rachel Levine and celebrated his elevation to being the alleged first female, whatever the role was. I don't have the exact title. It's not a female. It's a man. It's a man who lived his whole life as a man, went to med school as a man, practiced as a man, raised a family as a man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And I think at 53 decided he was going to start masquerading as a woman. Right. after a lifetime of being a man and having some of the advantages that come with that, especially during the time he grew up, when it comes to getting into med school and so on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
But then actually wanted us to celebrate him as the first female this and the first female that, as though he had climbed any of the same hills we had. Fuck off, sir, and take off that ridiculous dress. They all loved him. Rachel Levine's like the face of HHS under Joe Biden. But Robert Kennedy, he's too much of a kook, Link. We can't vote for that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
They just, they made fools out of themselves. In the same way they keep looking at Trump and saying,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Okay, I do want to show you the Republican. Senator Cassidy, who's a doctor, was very forensic in his approach. There was no warmth whatsoever emanating off of him. And I was not able to read him. If I had to put him down right now as yes or no, I'd say he's leaning no, just given how cold he seemed toward Bobby. But I don't know anything about him, to be perfectly honest. So here he is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
So I realized that was a very boring clip, but I cut it that way so that the audience can see what he was doing to him. And, you know, he's not actually going to be directly atop of Medicare. That's going to be Dr. Oz if he gets confirmed. He's going to be running Medicare. But... They thought it was fair game, right, because it's under NIH. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
probably none will want to be the deciding vote. So if he loses four Republican votes, then he's going to need one Dem. And the wisdom is that not Cortez Masto, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island is like a lifelong friend of RFKJ's. some thought maybe he could potentially be that vote. They went to law school together. I'm pretty sure they were both in each other's weddings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
And I think that Senator Cassidy was already well aware that Bobby Kennedy was going to have difficulty answering those questions. It's not something he's talked about in the campaign trail. It's not really part of his mission. Of course, he he'll have somebody there who can oversee this. But the senator knew all that. So I think he was trying to embarrass him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
while not looking like a complete prick, right? Looking like he was staying on topic, which does not give me a lot of hope. And I don't think McConnell's going to vote for Kennedy. And I don't have high hopes after Hegseth of Collins and Murkowski. And if that calculation is true, that's four down, which kills the nomination. So he would need a Dem. And now we're on shaky ground.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
That's my own back of the envelope math there, Link. I don't know what you're hearing.

RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
You're in office now, Kamala. Yeah, I mean, that's the crazy thing is we're coming off of four years of Democrat rule. The Democrats had control of HHS and the White House. Like what? I love like the long, these are the problem by the Democrats. Sheldon Whitehouse's whole bid on how bad it is for granny. The Democrats have been in power. Why didn't anything happen?

But now he's disgusted at like, nobody works with me. It's like, well, you know what? This is a lifelong friend. If you would treat him nicely, maybe he would work with you. Even if you don't treat him nicely, he's probably gonna work with you. Here was RFKJ kind of, Speaking to the point of he's been a Democrat his entire life.

It was a great answer. My favorite part, though, Link, after the onesie, make onesies great again. That was my favorite part of the whole hearing when Bernie's like, do you favor this onesie? Will you promise to get this onesie? Like, who cares, Senator?

You wouldn't have known that from today. So he's potentially at least another. He didn't beat up on RFKJ the way the others did. He just used his five minutes to go off on the issues in Rhode Island. And I got to be honest, a lot of what he said, I actually agreed with. He was going on and on about the nonsense rules that constrict states when it comes to, for example, elder care.

RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
Yeah, he was talking about how the people in Japan still have a 3% obesity rate. They haven't gone up exponentially like we have in the United States with all of our processed food and the way we eat. And Kennedy's been talking a long time about the rise in autism, the rise in ticks, the rise in allergies. Why are we seeing it? And his theory is...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
It's because we are swimming in a sea of toxins every day in our food supply, in our water supply, in the air we breathe, in the furniture we sit on, everywhere. And it's time we get really honest about what those things are and whether we can eliminate them from our daily diet. And I use the term diet to encompass all of that, not just the food that we take in. It would be so encouraging.

That's interesting, right, given what Trump has been saying. We're going to ask him about Trump's standoff with Colombia, in which Colombia caved in about 40 minutes. We'll ask him about what's next in the Middle East, what's next in Ukraine. I mean, talk about having a lot on your plate. Under Trump, the secretary of state has a lot to do.

They insist that granny going in ambulance to the hospital, that insurance will pay for, but not not the former, which is stupid, as he kept saying. So I got to say, White House is making some good points. He's a possible on RFKJ, but we don't know. And the two absolute worst, absolute worst in the room were Ron Wyden of Oregon. He's the ranking member, meaning the top Democrat on the committee.

So just like last time you and I did this after Hegseth, I was in the room. I was seated right behind Cheryl Hines, the wife of RFKJ, who must have blown Hollywood's mind for those who didn't know she was married to him to see her, the star of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David Show, right there. And I was totally struck by the amount of enthusiasm in the crowd for him. He's a rock star.

That's like as much as the people love Pete. They were military guys. They file follow the rules. You know, they were told not to clap and not to make sound. And they didn't. The RFKJ Maha crew was like, bring it. They were booing people like Elizabeth Warren. Whenever the hecklers got loud, they were yelling, we love you, Bobby! And the woman who was seated a couple down from me was awesome.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Jr. Spars with Dem Senators Trying to Smear Him at Confirmation Hearing, with Michael Knowles and Link Lauren | Ep. 994
She just kept like... when Bobby got on a roll, she was like, tell it. I'm like, this is so much better with her here. So it was kind of fun. Today's was, it was kind of fun, probably not for Bobby Kennedy, but it was fun for people like me too, just to see once again, these Democrats have nothing. They just want to inflame, you know, throw arrows.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Oh, we've got a treat for you today with a guest who has not been on this show in nearly three years. He's only been here one other time, way back in April of 2021, episode 84.

With their own party. Their own party is at that level, never mind with net voters. I reached out to a couple of friends of mine who are on the left. And my one friend, or at least formerly of the left, my one friend has a son who is now 16 and who was, like she was, very left, a committed Democrat.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And he's been raised in New York City, surrounded by other Democrats and gone through the school systems there, which are replete with Democrats. And he and many of his friends now are Trump supporting MAGA hat wearing Republicans. And so I asked her after I saw this article in NBC and I knew you were going to come on today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I said, what, try to explain, you know, in a nutshell, what did it, what, how did he have this dramatic transformation? Because I've known them, you know, I've, I saw him go from this leftist to this MAGA hat wearing kid. And she summed it up by saying, I actually, I pulled it, but she summed it up as follows. She said, um, The main communication between government and young people is education.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
If the curriculum is that white voices don't matter anymore, that's alienating to every white boy out there. She said, my son feels that they have blamed straight white men for everything. He is not allowed to read white male authors. There. And it reminded me, Jordan, of a story my one friend told me about his sister, who was a visiting professor at Smith College, where she came in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Oh, so yeah, I love Peterson Academy. It's very smart. It's a place for someone to educate themselves. You know, the people who are rejecting possibly going to Brown University in today's day and age can instead go to Peterson Academy and learn lessons that actually really will help them improve their lives. What's the goal of it? Let me just start there. And who's it for?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
They asked her to come be a visiting professor. She was from Yale and she taught English. And she got reported almost immediately to the dean of her group. Why? Not because her syllabus for the students had a bunch of white males on there, but because she had any. Because there was a white male on the syllabus.

Westmore and Ned Lamont and Gretchen Whitmer will never acknowledge any of this, nor, God forbid, say that it's a potential problem.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
This also happened just FYI, speaking of our New York City experience. One of the top schools in New York, Brearley, that's an all-girls school, which is just a funnel to the Ivies. And it's one of those schools where many, many parents in New York would give anything to get their child in there. I mean, the tuition now is probably nearing 70 grand a year. Same thing.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
You had to, as a family, applying your daughter to the school affirm your commitment to DEI and offer one of these DEI values and how they're incorporated into your family statements on applying to the school. So they were screening out anybody. They didn't want anybody. And I think it's still in place at Brearley.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
who didn't bend the knee fully and completely to DEI and then have specific examples of how it was being incorporated into their child rearing at home. Keep going.

That's not reversible.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Can you believe – like I'm thinking about Ned Lamont in Connecticut. So he thinks if he – greases the wheels for more boys to become teachers, that this is going to be the solution. Now, it would be great to have more male role models for boys in K through 12 education. I think everybody can see the value of that. But what does he ignore?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
He ignores the fact that we live in Connecticut, where there are a significant number of large cities where there is a large black population. And in over 70 percent of black homes, they are missing a father. There is no father figure. The father has split and there's no one who stepped in to fill the gap. Why don't you? Start there, Ned Lamont. He would never speak of that, Jordan, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
He's not going to talk about the crisis in boys missing strong male role models and start in the black community, which actually would help those young boys on their own get into elite academic institutions, much more than saying, I'm going to grease the pipeline for them to become teachers.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I've got to kick it off here because what happened was yesterday I went on the Adam Carolla show and he wanted to discuss, I don't think we ever actually got to it, but he wanted to discuss this article he drew my attention to from NBC News dated March 24th. And the headline of the piece is the plight of boys and men once sidelined by Democrats is now a priority.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And the sub headline is in recent months, three democratic governors have announced initiatives geared toward helping boys and men. And when I saw initiatives, my note on the page was, duh, no, right? Like to me, I'll tell you what they're doing and the, but you're the expert.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Well, and the other thing is these women can take the advice or leave the advice, but it speaks to a lot of people. And why is it their prerogative? Why do they need to tell you that you're a woman hater? Because this is how you see the world. This is what your expertise has driven you to conclude. This is what interviewing and counseling all these patients has led you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I mean, it's a valid viewpoint that they can take for what it's worth or reject, but not, then comes the names, you know, calling and the mudslinging. And we're going to get into that in a minute because I'm very interested in, first of all, I'm going to show the audience what some of these Democrats are now trying to do. And I believe it's a direct effort to recruit young men.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
In addition to this effort we've discussed, there's another one underway. And then we're going to talk more about the blowback that Jordan has received just for saying these things. This is his POV and it's very well informed. But it has not come without a personal and professional price for Jordan Peterson, who stays with me for the full show. Don't go away.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
There's a lot of talk about government debt. But after four years of inflation, another real crisis is personal debt. Some people are working harder than ever and still drowning in credit card debt and overdue bills. But there's done with debt. Now, done with debt has unique escape strategies to help end your debt fast so you can keep more of your hard earned money.

Done With Debt does not try to sell you a loan or bankruptcy. Their tough negotiators will go one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal, to drastically reduce your bills, eliminate interest, and erase penalties. Most clients wind up with more money in their pocket month one, and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And you tell me, because you've been speaking about out about the plight of boys and men a lot longer than NBC news has been paying attention to it. You tell me whether they're getting it. Um, I'll give you a couple of examples. So it just happens to be at least two of the three are presidential hopefuls on the Dem side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Those in power over in the US Senate, for example, seem to have a different approach in mind. And all I can guess is that this is their idea of the masculinity that they have erased from their own party. They think this is how to restore it. You tell me whether you agree and whether this is effective. Take a look.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Chris Murphy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
So two US, well, three US senators, and one of whom is the minority leader. More and more, you know, off-color words. I'm a big fan of swearing, as my audience knows. It only works if it comes organically to you. This did not seem organic at all. Chuck Schumer seemed uncomfortable actually saying it there. But my own belief, Jordan, is that this is their belief of how to win young men back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
The third is Ned Lamont of Connecticut, my adopted home state, who is very clueless. But the other two are Wes Moore of Maryland, who's said to be on the short list, very charismatic, black governor who is more centrist, or so they'd have us believe in his approach to governing. And then there's Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. So here's what they're doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
It was just an audio interview by phone. Jordan B. Peterson is a fascinating thinker and a leading intellectual of our time. And there may not be a greater voice over the past decade speaking out about the crisis with men and boys and more. Plus, his home country is about to become our 51st state. So that's exciting. He's Canadian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
You know, it's interesting because I listened to a bunch of leftists talk about this issue in recent weeks because I'm curious to see what they think the problem is. And many, many, if not all, blame President Trump. They think he's... you know, a bully. He swears occasionally. He's not nice to people. They think, they think he's bad to women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And then the Elon gets dumped in there for a good measure too, as same on all those fronts. And once again, Jordan, I think they've totally misunderstood what it is about Trump. And for that matter, Elon, that is drawing young men to them. I don't think it has anything to do with Trump and his behavior toward women 30 years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Okay, Moore says the wellbeing of our young men and boys has not been a societal priority, true. Then he says, hold on, let me find it, that he's going to create programs to help in particular boys from the inner city and encourage them to pursue jobs in education and healthcare, to help boys with the juvenile justice system
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And I don't think it's Trump's occasional dropping of a swear, although I do think that makes him seem much more relatable to especially the working class. You know, that's how folks talk. That's how I talk, frankly. But I think it makes him more relatable as opposed to a Mitt Romney who is just perfectly buttoned up and smoothed out. You know, there's less to sort of grab onto, less grit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Elon is incredibly successful, which I think everyone can respect, but he's not out there I don't know. Maybe he's a little pugilistic these days because he's in it and he's getting punched so often. But can you speak to that? Why do you think the left thinks that what's happening on the right with respect to some admiration for Andrew Tate, et cetera, is really the fault of Donald Trump?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
That's how they interpret it, that these toxically masculine guys are the product of Trumpism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I mean, from that standpoint, they should love Elon. Yeah. Given his failure to marry and have a bunch of kids.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I mean, in their deal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
and to make sure he solicits input from boys and men on how those initiatives are designed. To me, this seems like he's focused on inner city boys and helping them overcome poverty and so on. Okay. Then there's Gretchen Whitmer, who shared plans on how she's going to boost young men's enrollment in higher education and skills training.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
Yeah, I think you're exactly right on that. So you've been saying all these things for years now, many years. And maybe if Wes Moore and Gretchen Whitmer and Adam Schiff and Chris Murphy and Chuck Schumer had listened to you back in 1516, maybe their party wouldn't be in this predicament. I don't know, because you're saying it's really a worldwide phenomenon. It's caused by leftism, though.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
I think that's at its core what it's been caused by. And I don't see leftism, more leftism being the cure for it, but it may be some awakeness on the part of the left, not wokeness, but some awakeness on what they've done to young men is a positive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
In any event, I don't know that they're capable of getting there because one of the controversies that you suffered through as a result of speaking these truths was. A Hollywood actress and director, Olivia Wilde, made a whole movie about this alleged toxic masculinity, and it starred a fake you. Chris Pine played a character who she admitted was based on Olivia Wilde's view of Jordan Peterson.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And she was extremely nasty talking about you. She went on her PR tour promoting her movie, Don't Worry Darling was the name of it. saying, You're an insane person who is, quote, a pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community. Incel, for the listening audience, I think you know this, but it stands for involuntarily celibate young men who are not having any sexual relations whatsoever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And the despair that comes with that is rejected. It's really just they're painted as basically white supremacist alt-right people who gravitate onto meaningless pseudo-intellectuals in Olivia Wilde's view. And so here's just a clip from her movie of Chris Pine playing what we now know is a Jordan Peterson type. And then we'll pick it up from there.

That was absolutely atrocious acting and directing and presentation. But the attack on you was obvious. And of course, they make you seem like some faux preacher type and like a cult leader from the 1950s instead of what you're actually doing. And there was an extraordinary moment where you went on with our pal Piers Morgan after this, and he asked you about it.

And then there's Ned Lamont of Connecticut, who announced what he called... A DEI initiative, which he thinks, quote, folks on both sides of the aisle may appreciate to get more men into teaching. You're going to tell me what my reaction to this was. You've shot and you've missed. They need to spend more time at Peterson Academy. But you tell me whether this is the answer.

Why did that make you so emotional, Jordan? What is it you've seen that Olivia Wilde hasn't?

The... the portrayal of the fake Jordan in that movie was the least of what has happened to you since the last time you were on. Incredibly, it was not that long ago. It was in 2022 that you were suspended from X. This is now unthinkable with Elon in charge, but I do believe there's a purpose to it all. I really do. You were suspended from X due to a post about

Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
about Ellen Page, who now goes by Elliot Page. And now she says she's a he, but she's a she. And you tweeted out during Pride Month, which made it actually controversial. Remember when Pride was a sin and Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician? And you got in trouble. You're suspended from X during that time, which was then Twitter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And you said, the suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the hateful tweet. And I would rather die than do that. That was one. And then you also posted about this woman who was... in Sports Illustrated in her bathing suit, who is morbidly obese. This is May of 2022.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And you said, I'm going to leave X at this point because I've received an endless flood of insults because you saw this picture and said, sorry, not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that. That one you did later delete, but there was so much. No, I don't think so. Oh, no? Okay, maybe my information is wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
But my point is simply, you are not allowed to have those opinions, Jordan. You can't say that Elliot is still really Ellen and not a woman any longer. And you can't say that a morbidly obese woman in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is... is in your opinion, not beautiful.

But here's the thing about that that's so infuriating. So this woman, her name is Yumi Nu, she's allowed to pose in a public magazine. She's very well aware that in her hopes, millions of people will see this photo and comment on it. But in her mind, the bargain, and in the mind of the left, the bargain can only include positive feedback, compliments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
And anybody who doesn't feel that way about it and is honest about it is a villain. But meanwhile, you were not commenting and probably didn't even know who this Yumi Nu was prior to her choice to put her body into a bikini and on the pages of Sports Illustrated. You weren't picking on her. You weren't just sitting around thinking like, how can I criticize some random obese person?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Jordan Peterson on Pathological Masculinity, Alarming Political Gender Gap Among Young Voters, and Snow White | Ep. 1035
She asked you to comment on her. She asked you to. That's why she was in a magazine. But under their rules, which are not the Jordan Peterson rules for life, you are not allowed to be honest if honesty is anything other than absolute praise.

They tested for a few specific auto-immunes. It didn't like register one versus another. And I said, do you think this could be because of what just happened with the getting the booster and then getting COVID within a month? And she said, yes, I do. And you're not the only patient I have seen have this exact sequence of events.

So in other words, you need 60 yes votes to allow a vote. And if they can't get 60 yes votes to allow a vote, then the bill dies. If they get 60 yes votes to allow a vote, then the Republicans should get this through since they have a majority in the Senate.

And the reason we need to stop this- So right about now, let me ask you this, Asim. By the way, before I forget, the earlier episode with Asim was episode 964, 964. Right about now, a lot of viewers are having the water rising right here. They're starting to get very stressed out because virtually everybody got the vaccine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And we have seen... I mean, who among us has not seen a sudden death by a loved one, a friend... somebody else's friend, et cetera, over the past few years and wondered, is it related to that vaccine? And they never say, they will never say it was the vaccine. I mean, just nobody says that. But it's like, okay, young, otherwise healthy people are dropping dead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And you both worry for those you love and you worry for yourself. I mean, I talked to people who are going down to Mexico and getting all their blood replaced. I'm like, well, that... How could that possibly work when you've altered your genes? If you've altered your genes, replacing all your blood with new blood is not going to change it.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And all we're told, all GOP senators are expected to vote yes on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which does exactly what it says it's going to do and keeps biological boys out of girls' sports. Will the Democrats, seven of them, cross over to allow a cloture vote so that we can see a substantive vote go forward? We'll watch out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And your own body, I think, replaces your blood anyway over the course of time. Anyway, is there anything you can say to make them feel better about their prospects right now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
No, there's been no accountability. That's the thing.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
I remember saying on this program, If something goes very wrong with the vaccine, these drug companies are going to have to fix it because look at the number of people who are taking the vaccine. There's no way they'll be able to just allow millions of people to be vaccine injured and move forward. And I've never been more wrong about anything. That is the number one thing I have been wrong about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And we will be naming every single name who votes against this. We will be looking at their districts. And I guarantee you that there will be an activation like you've never seen before in every single one of those senators' districts. I'm talking to you, Democrats. Forget Republicans if they did this. every single Democrat, because this issue has over 80% support with the American public.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Um, they, they've been, they've moved on. I mean, Steve Krakauer, my EP was just saying in my ear, we couldn't have even had this conversation three years ago. I mean, as it is, YouTube's probably going to slap a bunch of warnings on this discussion. Fine. Nobody reads your warnings, YouTube. Um, but even to get this video to live three years ago would have been very hard for us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And so it's like the mere fact that you're allowed to raise these questions and say these things is real progress, but we're far, far, far from Pfizer having to look at us and say, here's what we're doing about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Here's the frustrating thing as a consumer or a patient is even... I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near as immersed in information as the full Maha team is, but... I mean, I've done a fair amount of interviews with people like you who are very smart on these issues, and I remain confused.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Like, for example, on the cholesterol issue, you and I had... We talked about the LDLs and how they may not be the scary thing that your cardiologist or your doctor will tell you they are, and that, in fact, you made the point that a higher LDL actually could have a protective effect for older people when it comes to other illnesses and didn't think much of statins and so on. And then...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
I read Good Energy by Casey Means, who I love and respect and think she's amazing. She's not a cardiologist, but she is a doctor. And she's like, got to keep the LDLs down, right? So it's like, you know, it's like well-meaning people like me are like, I don't know what to do. And you're talking about, you know, your heart health and a potential heart attack.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
So you don't really don't want to get it wrong.

What kind of villain would vote against even allowing a vote to protect young girls? We will be naming you all. if you vote against this. So let's find out. And on the other side, if we get seven Democrats who allow this vote to go forward, who vote for the bill, anybody who actually substantively supports it, we will be celebrating you here on The Megyn Kelly Show.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Listen to what he just said, what he just said, because I still have heard from my cardiologist, you know, stop eating so much red meat, stop eating so much red meat. And you're you didn't even mention red meat. You're talking about ultra processed foods, sugar and starchy carbs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And don't think it doesn't matter. Trust me, it does. We continue to face uncertainty when it comes to the economy, with a perfect storm brewing as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point as the largest generation is hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base. You pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, and we could have a big problem.

Wow.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Peter Attia likes that one too. He likes the calcium score just as sort of a baseline of where you are. So this is also fascinating. This is like, I'm so thrilled that RFKJ got in there and is going to be looking into things like this. I mean, already, you know, he's... Yesterday, there was an EO on...

transparency on drug costs, you know, like already he's taking a look at interesting things and he stopped. What was the thing that he stopped yesterday? He stopped something. Oh, it was the testing program that was going on for the oral COVID vaccine. He was like, we're not stopping it forever, but we're pausing that. I'm not sure that's the best use of our use of our resources.

That's so encouraging. Just even back when I was in school, it was either, I can't even remember whether it was high school or college right now, but we learned about a study that had been done on two groups of monkeys. And it was that, I guess, I think it was monkeys, it might have been a different primate, but it was that there were two primates different cages of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And they like a dominant monkey. The order works best when there's one dominant. And what they did was they put two dominant in one cage and just the one dominant in the second cage. And the monkeys got exactly the same food, exactly the same lifestyle. Nothing else was different other than the one cage of monkeys was very stressed out and the other wasn't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And then many years later, when they died of totally natural causes, they were dissected and they looked at their arteries and the arteries of the monkeys that had been in the stressed out cage were completely, they were clogged. They were not the picture of health versus the other monkeys, which shouldn't have anywhere near that level of fatty buildup on the walls of the arteries and so on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And the only difference between the monkeys was the stress. So it's like, you look at these people who focus so much, some obsess over what they eat and the amount of exercise and don't have this and don't have that. And they totally forget being stressed out all the time, it may be the worst health factor in your life. It must be addressed.

The CEO of Pfizer made, I think, $30 million last year. That was his take-home pay, which I think is one of the reasons why. I mean, just Pfizer in general and these vaccine companies, we're all very skeptical of them now. Not all, but many of us are very skeptical because we don't feel like we've been given the truth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Later, we're going to be joined by one of the most fascinating men in media right now. His name is Brian Johnson. You probably have seen his promo on Netflix. He's leading the Don't Die movement. I mean, I think we know how that turns out, but he would say we don't. He has personally taken some extreme measures to try to live up to his movement's name.

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
There was an extraordinary moment where he showed up at the Trump White House on Black History Month on the celebration. And Trump, who, you know, he is still pro vaccine and he introduced him like, yeah, CEO of Pfizer. And the community wasn't having it. You know, somebody on Twitter pointed out or X Trump led a populist movement, but he doesn't control the populace.

I wanted to round back to a question about the vaccine because Cheryl Atkinson, a former CBS News journalist, she has a podcast and a show also. And she previewed an interview she's going to be doing on March 2nd with a doctor whose name is Dr. Ryan Cole, who is sounding the alarm on some of the effects of the COVID vaccine. And the following soundbite grabbed my interest. Take a listen here.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It was just published today on her podcast feed.

That's extremely creepy and disturbing. And, but not, I believe, I believe him. I mean, a good friend of mine who's in public health, who's a lefty, was saying, Meg, we're hearing a lot about these clots and the embalmers. And she's like a pro, you know, she was definitely pro-vaccine and the whole bit. And even she was like, I'm not, I'm not taking any more. I'm hearing more about these.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And now you hear this guy say it out. I mean, what, what are we supposed to do? If our blood is getting clotty, what... Like, what do we do? Drink more water? Have an aspirin? I don't get it.

And if you watch this Netflix documentary, it's crazy the way he's living. But is he crazy like a fox? Is he going to outlive us all? And does he have some helpful tips where we could be maybe less extreme, but maybe instead of living forever, we get an extra 10 good years? Yes. We will talk to him second hour. First, though, we start with a close advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

That's one of the protocols for preventing dementia too. It's like, okay, you, you may have the gene, whatever, but if you minimize the number of toxins in your life, you're giving yourself at least the best chance possible of avoiding it. That's what RFK has been saying about vaccines and autism that he can't prove a

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
direct causal relationship, but that it may be one of several toxins that overwhelm the system in young children. And like the more of those that you can remove, not necessarily making a judgment on the vaccines for anybody, but the more toxins you can remove from your child's diet, the better. This is the road we're on. Final thoughts on whether we'll get there.

Tech millionaire Brian Johnson has been making headlines for years over his extreme anti-aging routine where he spends two million bucks a year trying to live forever. His motto is don't die. I accept. Great. He goes to bed at 8.30 every night. He eats a vegan diet with dinner at 11 in the morning every day, though he's open to red meat, but it's just not for him.

He takes over 100 pills or supplements a day. And in his quest, he has tried things as odd as swapping blood plasma with his teenage son and he, Brian, giving his own plasma to his 70-year-old father and injecting a donor's fat into his face. He's also had controversial gene therapy, having to fly out of country to get it. As you can see, his appearance has definitely changed over the years.

fascinating to meet you. I watched the whole thing. I'm riveted. I love the challenge. I wish it were possible. Do you, let me ask you this with that.

You've gotten all sorts of criticism for having money and going and having gene therapy in Honduras that the average person could never afford. My view is good for you.

I love the time that we had together before, because it really takes something that's a very scary number to most people, which is that LDL score, and gives people a new way of thinking about it. You know, you can talk to your own cardiologist, but you are a cardiologist, and you were making some really interesting points about how we've been ruled by that number for too long.

Mm-hmm. That's very interesting. Okay. So can we talk about some of those protocols? Some of them are a little bit more mainstream. I mean, I have a red light that I use and I love it.

And we've been totally reliant on these statins for too long, irrespective of whether they cause side effects that can be very annoying to those taking them. So anyway, I'll get you the episode number, folks, so you can go back and take a look at that.

Are we have something pulled on your sleep habits? Let's watch. Okay. Yeah. Okay. This is your, it's a, it's a full screen graphic showing your sleep stages and you can get this on the ring. Like I have the aura ring and it'll show you something just like this. That's what you're talking about. Like a wearable where it shows your, your REM, your light and your deep sleep is, is important.

It's not just REM stage that we're looking at.

Already we've seen the need for him just this week in the news. The fact that the FDA's top dog left the FDA and went to Pfizer to be hired as their chief medical officer. This is exactly what RFKJ said he was going to try to tackle, this revolving door between big pharma and our public health agencies, which are obviously compromised. Your thoughts on it?

Do you do the 66 degree thing? What do you do about temperature and setting?

Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Mm-hmm. We had a Matthew Walker on the program a couple of years ago. He's a sleep expert. He wrote this great book about it. And he was saying, this is so important that you should, when you're considering travel, when you're considering business, whatever it is that you have to do, your social life, you need to build it all around protecting that eight-hour period.

If you go to bed at 10, you are going to bed at 10 no matter what, and everything else must move unless it's an extreme circumstance. Like, okay, I had to fly to Australia for whatever. But It should be 1% of the time that you're moving those hours around.

All right, now here's from the Netflix documentary. Something else that happens in your sleep that you monitor, which is for the guys out there, SOC 24.

All right, so why does that matter?

Okay, wow. I mean, I had no idea. Let's talk about the food because I said you eat vegan, but you're not against red meat, which is what I read. Is that true?

Okay, so talk to us about, I didn't understand that first qualifier, what you said, you eat vegetables without some long word.

What would you say is the most important marker you look for on a daily basis? What's the one that you're like, okay, that one looks good. I feel good. I mean, I know you care about them all, but name the top two.

When you say, like, you challenge yourself to get it down over the course of two weeks, how do you do that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
I like that a lot. So it's not about exercise. It's about the routine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Oh, this is like, well, this is interesting because you're not married. You're 47 years old. You're not married. But I will say like sleeping with another person in the bed is definitely a challenge because it's like you not only have to worry about your tossing and turning given the night, but his too. I know he's joke with Doug.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
I'm like, I'll look at him and I'll say SD, which stands for sleep divorce. If he wakes me up too many times over the evening or, you know, speaking of nighttime erections anyway. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Can I ask you about relationships? Because one of the things that stands out in the Netflix special is how close you and your son are. And it's actually really beautiful. It was kind of almost brought me to tears a couple of times, how much you love him and how close you guys are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And it's a little sad because the rest of your family, your other two kids and your ex-wife, it sounds like they kind of disowned you when you left the church, the Mormon church. By the way, I didn't know that the Mormon church did that. I thought that was just a Scientology thing. Is that normal in the Mormon church?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
It's really amazing and it's disgusting. I mean, this woman, she actually went to FDA from Pfizer, then goes to FDA, overseeing public health and the drugs that are gonna be fed to us, and then goes right back out, back to Pfizer. I mean, whose interest is she actually serving here? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Well, you and Talmadge seem to have a very good relationship. He seems like a great kid. He's now in college or at least went off to college as the Netflix special was being filmed. But one thing I did wonder, and without giving too much away from the documentary, you do find a way to create socialization in your life and to have friend groups around you. But love is important.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
You know, that love relationship, that, you know, romantic love. I definitely think it's life extending for a number of reasons. And I wondered about that. Like, of course, I'm sure you want it just as a human, but as a life extending mechanism, how do you feel about it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
You talk in the documentary about how you'll disclose to these women, there's a lot of things you're not going to like about my lifestyle. And then you've been proven right a few times with women like you're a lot. But I actually think the odds are high that you will meet a woman who's very into this and who will live this life with you in her hyperbaric chamber right next to yours.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
I think you just have to, you know. put it out there more and meet more women. But I hope you do because I think that's a missing piece of your formula. Speaking of the hyperbaric chamber, we've got video of you in it. What's happening here? It's video. It looks like you're in some sort of a, like a carnival ride.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And the apparatus on your face for listening audience looks very much like what, you know, the people who are older and they can't sleep well overnight, where they put that thing on their face. It looks like an oxygen mask with all these tubes coming out of it. What's happening here?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
And is it, I mean, I think of the hyperbaric chamber, isn't that where they put you when you've had like a scuba accident? Like you have to go in the hyperbaric chamber. So it seems like sort of a remedial measure. Is there any downside to you in using that 90 minutes a day and coming out of it and trying to live your life?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Yeah. I mean, maybe there'll be some man of the people version where it's just like you take in oxygen an hour a day while you're sitting at your desk and somehow that has a better effect on you. This is how it starts with the big thing. And then it whittles down to the common man and woman like me. And we try some other version of it.

All right, Brian, forgive me for asking an impertinent question, but the dramatic change in your looks is really something like when you see how you used to look when you were younger versus how you look now. And I hope this isn't insulting, but it's there's been a little bit of a feminization. Do you think that's fair to say? Like you look slightly more feminine to me now. What's that about?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Is that intentional or is that a result of supplements? What's going on there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
Wow. Okay. So you mentioned in the, or we mentioned in the setup to this, that part of the routine is supplements. A lot of them from the sound of 53 or 54 pills in the morning.

well, I mean, you're working very hard for it. So I would expect it to be pretty darn good. Is there anything, is there any sort of magic supplement we should know about? Like of all the ones, once you've gotten yourself not deficient, this is your favorite.

What about gene therapy? Because you went down to Honduras, you had them stick a needle in your belly trying to alter your genes. I guess they were kind of adding something that was gene adjacent, but we spent the first hour talking about some of the downsides of the mRNA vaccine, which is gene therapy. I mean, I think mRNA is gene therapy. So people are like, oh God, oh no, but you tried it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
You do discontinue things that don't work for you. You're open about like, don't this one, no, that one, no. Where do you stand on the gene therapy you got? And is that something you would do again?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking Revolving Door at FDA and Pfizer, and How to Live Forever, with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Bryan Johnson | Ep. 1014
It's funny because most people say, as soon as I hear Honduras, I think you're crazy. Who would get on a plane and let somebody in Honduras stick a needle in their belly? But it's also very brave because you actually did put in the research and the time and you were very careful about which one you were going to take a risk on. And that was how long ago now?

Well, I asked the rheumatologist. No, I asked the rheumatologist. I said, do you think this could be linked to the fact that I got double-shotted by Pfizer, I had both of the vaccines, and then I got one booster? And in New York, you couldn't travel. You couldn't do anything unless you prove it was just ridiculous. I wish I hadn't done it, but I did.

So I got that third booster, first booster and third shot total. And within a month, I got COVID. It was right when the Omicron version started to circulate. So within a month, I both had the booster and then COVID. And And then I had my annual physical and it showed up. And I then got sent to a rheumatologist and I asked her, do you think this, because it was unspecified. It was like, which one?

Late last week, the Trump administration designated eight cartels, including Tren de Aragua and MS-13, as terrorist organizations. That allows the government to freeze cartel assets, penalize anyone aiding the groups, and justify military action. A week ago, the New York Times reported the CIA is increasing surveillance drone flights over Mexico to monitor cartel activity.

The cartels operate multibillion-dollar industries, most notably drug trafficking. Human trafficking, including sex trafficking and border smuggling, also a big moneymaker for these vicious gangs.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

It's so crazy. I mean, I hear you say on behalf of all white people, our time is not over. It's not just like it's not over for Asians or brown people or black people. It is the American people's time. That's it. Irrespective of your color, you've got a shot. Work hard. Try harder. Look at J.D. Vance.

My white children have just as much of a shot and have absolutely no burden on them because of ancestry that as a black child does down the road, you know, or in the inner city, even somebody with less financial advantage, which is actually a greater hill to climb.

You know, in particular, white boys and white men be the current, you know, payors for all of America's prior sins. That's totally insane. We're not doing it anymore. Here's one more. Keeping going on the things he did yesterday, ordered federal buildings worldwide to stop flying the pride flag, which the left had turned into a de facto second national flag around the world. That's exactly right.

Good. I'm glad it's coming down. I have zero tolerance for any flag other than the stars and stripes on any federal building. That's it. This is not a time to promote anybody's agenda. No one's. Not women's. Not LGBTQ. Not blacks. Nobody. That's it. It's America. That's what we used to be about. Our shared purpose. Our shared love of country. Go look at Nicole's ads if you don't believe me.

And then here's what I wanted to ask you about. He launched the Stargate project. This is the big, quote, infrastructure announcement he made yesterday. A collaboration with Silicon Valley, just so our audience knows, you used to be married to the co-founder of Google, aimed at cementing America as the global leader in emerging AI technology. You talked about how you've done some AI stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Now, can you talk about this? Because the AI thing... I don't totally understand it. with plans to pour up to $500 billion into Stargate, and it's supposed to create 100,000 U.S. jobs, build data centers around the country, and it's going to ensure that we remain ahead of China in the AI arms race, which I don't really understand.

But I do understand Elon Musk weighing in to say they don't have anywhere near that much money. It was kind of interesting because Elon's his best tech friend, but he came out and kind of poured cold water over this whole thing. So what's your take on it?

Well, I mean, let's not forget the mRNA vaccine was developed under Trump. Operation Warp Speed was Trump's. And I'm not sure what lessons he's taken from the vaccine injuries that started popping up and they were snuffed out by the media and they were ignored by the Biden administration, not to mention Big Pharma.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
But now we have a new sheriff in town, and we'll see whether Trump's on board with that. I think he takes credit for the vaccine. He feels proud of the vaccine. I don't know how much he is going to listen to vaccine injury stories around mRNA. But it felt to me like Larry Ellison was kind of ahead of his skis on that. Like, I'm into arms race against China. I want to win against China.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
I don't know if I'm into... like experimental cancer vaccines that have the same Russian roulette effect. And I'll just say one other thing about it, Nicole, which is one of my biggest reasons for believing in the vaccine during COVID was I naively thought it was
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
If there's some significant injury rate with a vaccine like this, that there'll be 700 million doses in the United States, there's no way big pharma won't cure it, won't put everything they have into rectifying the damage they caused, right? There'd just be too many Americans suffering. They'll have too much money. They have all this immunity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
They will want to cure the problem that they helped cause. And I was totally wrong about that. We're still in the complete denial phase.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
So how are you feeling just in the wake of everything that's happened this week?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
what the risks are. Yeah. I've, I've completely lost my own trust in big pharma completely. And I think that's appropriate. Um, RFKJ of course is not on board with, I think this kind of thing, he won't be running the new AI venture. Ideally, if it gets confirmed, he's going to be running the national institutes of health. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
And he doesn't yet have a confirmation hearing scheduled, they say, because they're asking for more information. You know, they want to have all their ammo against him before they dig in. But we're starting to see a preview of some of the attacks they're preparing. They're not all from Democrats, though mostly. But Mike Pence's group, they're very against him because they're very, very pro-life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
And, you know, RFKJ's more pro-choice. Though, you know, there's a real question about how much he's going to be weighing in on that in the new role. I think he understands the Trump administration is pro-life. Anyway, here's what Mike Pence said. RFK has expressed support for conspiracy theories involving vaccines and Wi-Fi. That's where he starts. I was like... Is that true? I'm open-minded.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
So I went to my doctor. My doctor said, get the vaccine. In no way is he new agey, right? I think he would laugh at the conversation we just had, frankly, about mRNAs. He's like that. But he said there are studies suggesting that a certain amount of at least EMF,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
you know, like radio frequent radiation frequency coming out of like your outlets, your devices, and yes, your wifi can be disruptive and potentially deeply problematic, especially to children.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
He, and he sent me the studies that are being circulated within sort of the mainstream medical community, but now it gets reduced Nicole to a weird conspiracy theory that this weirdo RFKJ is pushing and a reason he can't be confirmed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
on this one. you know, this sort of EMF thing, this RF thing, like the wifi and the number of plugs and the number of electronics in your house. This is the article here. Here's the abstract in part from what he sent me from the NIH. Okay. And this is, this is in part how it reads EMF exposure or, um, electromagnetic fields. That's under like a certain size.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
He says, uh, it reads a developing child's brain is vulnerable to EMF radiation. Thus their caregivers concerns about the health effects of EMFs are increasing. EMF exposure is divided into two categories, extremely low frequencies involving high voltage transmission lines and in-home wiring and radio frequencies, RFs involving mobile phones, smart devices, base stations, wifi, and,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
and 5G technologies. The biological effects of EMFs on humans include stimulation thermal, non-thermal, the latter of which is least known, among the health issues related to EMFs. The most important issue is human carcinogenicity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancers, evaluation of the carcinogenic risks to humans, these ELFs and RFs were evaluated as possible human carcinogens and goes on from there. My point is, Mike Pence doesn't have a medical degree. Mike Pence doesn't have a lifetime acting as a lawyer to look into things like this, like RFK does.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
But Mike Pence thinks that he can kill RFK's nomination because of the life issue by sneaking in these other issues to make him look like a kook. And you tell me, Nicole, how many other people are trying to do that to him? They just dismiss him out of hand as a nutcase instead of saying, What if what he's saying is actually true?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Right on. Already you're getting groups like the outgoing FDA chairman saying, look, calm down. Because if you think it's going to be easy to reform a group like this, think again. Maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years down the line, but But if they put into place some of these changes they're talking about on like preservative free food, you're going to have a farm shutdown.

And according to a memo sent yesterday, all federal DEI employees will be placed on paid leave by 5 PM tonight. Good luck making use of those absolutely useless empty degrees. Plus, the crackdown on the border crisis is already in motion. That, too, is equally uplifting. Border czar Tom Homan said this morning they've already got 308 illegal migrant criminals in custody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
You're going to tank the economy. There are very powerful interest groups that will be at play here no matter who's running FDA. And, you know, right now we think it's going to be Marty McCary, who's great. And RFKJ, I'm sure, will have a lot of input and so on. But what do you make of that pushback, Nicole, that it's like... calm down. It can't be done. Washington is Washington.

You know, RFKJ is determined to get those big pharma ads off of TV, which entice people into buying medication or pushing for medication that they don't necessarily need, which can cause other problems.

Mm hmm. It's shocking and it's upsetting. It does. You know, it reminds me of something I wanted to say. Obviously, I've gotten closer to Team Trump in the past year than I ever had been before. But I I make a point. of never asking them for anything. Like Trump asked me to speak in Pittsburgh and I said, yes. And team Trump asked me to speak the day before his inauguration and I said, yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
But I asked them for nothing, nothing. I did not ask them for great seats at the inauguration festivities or ball tickets or anything like that because I don't wanna owe him anything. It's fine if he feels like I've done him a solid, but to do this job, honestly, I cannot owe him anything because then I would feel afraid to criticize him. So I totally get what you're saying.

He prohibited the use of all racial discrimination or DEI at federal contractors and universities receiving taxpayer dollars. Now, let's just pause there. That is wonderful. I don't know how he enforced that. Prohibited the use of racial discrimination or DEI, which is the same thing. It is the same thing. Racial discrimination against whites is illegal.

So somebody did say that this past summer, right? Because I've been listening to you and I've been listening to you talk about how some friends and some people were abandoning you. They were getting on to the fact that you'd shown up at MAGA rallies. You weren't the Sasha they knew. And then the big takedown, quote unquote, happened this past summer. Was it Hollywood Reporter?

It's illegal against blacks, against Asians. all the groups. It doesn't make it any better to do it against whites because the country has a history of doing it to blacks. It's just not the way the law is written, the civil laws, civil rights laws. So he's saying you can't racially discriminate at universities that get taxpayer dollars, which is almost all of them.

I didn't have to tell her all that stuff. They're not out for your best interests at all. No. I mean, with practice, you know, like that was a lesson you learned and then you'll learn more lessons and then you'll get it. Then you'll totally have it.

No, I can relate to this just in that when we launched this show. The one thing I said to my partner at Red Seed Ventures, Chris Balfe, was don't give me any advertisers who don't have strong spines. I don't want somebody running at the first LGBTQ nasty letter about me saying men cannot become women. And I'm telling you, we haven't lost a single one.

Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Not a single advertiser has abandoned us at all over anything we've said. It's, it's been amazing and it's so freeing, right? So I feel like the destruction comes and then like a Phoenix, you will rise out of those ashes. and be better aligned with the people supporting you. And I really think like you got to get ads on your podcast.

You need, you need, you need to make money like this. We will pay. I'm telling you, I myself would pay and I pay for almost none of this stuff. So I'm like, I consume so much, but I would definitely pay. And I would certainly listen to a couple of ads to listen to you. You, you got to do it. And I will help you do it.

Yeah. And I want to hear your take on these movies. I think there's such a huge market for people on the right half of the country who would like to hear the straight scoop on what's good, what's not good, what's woke and annoying and not worth our time. You know, could have used your two cents before I spent my time watching Conclave. Anyway. I'm sorry about that. I would 100% tune into that.

In addition to your political commentary, I would love to hear somebody who I know is sane and not woke analyze these films. And I can tell it's so fun.

That's right. Woody Allen's running around trying to figure out a new religion. And by the way, I saw Woody Allen at a restaurant last week in New York. No way. And he was there with his wife, Soon-Yi. And I have to say, I looked it up. He's 89 now. She's my age. She's 54.

And I, you know, hashtag goals to be out at a New York city restaurant on a Wednesday at 9 PM when you're 89 walking of your own power, hanging out with friends. They were there with two others. I have to say, I was kind of impressed. I think it's a lifetime of walking in New York that did it. And probably the joy that comes with doing what you want.

So I thought that's getting what you make of the big controversy over it ends with us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Can I tell you something? There's something going on that... So just today, I got my hands on this document that was just filed by Blake Lively's team. Her lawyers went into this California human rights office where she tried to launch this campaign against Justin Baldoni and complained, saying... That they should be shut down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Justin Baldoni should be shut down from offering any public defense of these allegations because it's all retaliatory. Everything he does to defend himself, according to Blake Lively's lawyers, is retaliation against her. And truly, it's as if they're saying they can launch whatever public attack they want on him, but he cannot respond or it's retaliation against a sexual harassment victim.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
It's totally absurd. And if it were true, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard never would have had the ultimate resolution that they had in the court of public opinion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Now, I mean, I'll show this later because there's also a video that dropped today that totally disproves one of her most salacious claims against him. So her case is falling apart. That's why she's trying to shut him down from releasing further evidence or talking about it at all. And she's basically lost the public war in the opinions. And so she's trying to shut him up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
It's like, well, she didn't bank on him fighting back and actually winning. All right, but I want to get back to you and MAGA because one of the things I really love about you is... Much in the same way that Nicole Shanahan produced those... Remember the MAGA people video she did? Like the MAGA people in the 1950s, like aliens from space came down and observed the people. That's how you are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
You're able to describe MAGA and Trump and the movement in... In exactly that kind of way, like zoom out, who are they? What are they about? And I guess as good a place to start on that as any is the J6 pardons, which of course the left is melting down over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
And it could be used against Trump. It could be used to potentially, as they tried, to impeach Trump so that he could, if they had their way, never run for office again. And to smear all of them, not just all of the Trump family, but all of MAGA, all of the Trump supporters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
And really, I think the end goal was never let him return to office, which is one of the reasons why it's so incredible he just got sworn in again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
Yeah. And it was used not only to, I mean, if they had managed to actually convict him on the impeachment, he would have done it. he wouldn't have been able to run again. But when that failed, then they used it over and over in Georgia and at the federal level to try to stop him, to put him in jail so that he couldn't return to power. I mean, they threw everything they had at him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
And we continue to hear about January 6th. Even before the pardons, it continued to be a theme. Barack Obama pushed it in the last hours of the campaign. So did Kamala. So did Joe Biden. It was their favorite theme. And now, yes, it'll be in the news for a while here, and then it will stop because people have lives to live. I just don't think anyone other than the left is obsessing over J6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
That was the goal, completely antithetical to the duties of a prosecutor or a public figure who shouldn't be doing that. But we saw that repeatedly when it came to anything, not just Trump, but on the right. They're happy to weigh in and go with guilt before anything's proven. They just don't like it when it's done to their side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
I mean, what we've been seeing already is a media that remains unhinged, you know, like CNN with the it was a Heil Hitler thing with Elon. We put together just a random mashup of some of the media coverage of Trump's first day. You'll be shocked to see it's it's not measured. It's just for your entertainment. Take a look.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, we've taken a massive step away from that, as you know, and this is the public's rejection. His election is the public's rejection of that nonsense. So I don't know what's going to happen at these universities. That telling them that they are not allowed to use DEI if they receive taxpayer dollars. I just I think they're just going to ignore it.

You know, it's funny because at the inauguration, you saw like Snoop Dogg. He was there after he said Trump was a white supremacist. He'd been ripping Trump and MAGA, a new one, just as recently as like a year, year and a half ago. And he's seen the light. He played at the Crypto Ball, which was the David Sachs ball. He's the new crypto czar. He played and celebrated Trump.

I saw Vince Vaughn was at the Starlight Ball. I don't remember him ever ripping on Trump, but that's kind of an act of courage for someone as mainstream, right? It's like John Voight was at the Trump rally with me. He's an open conservative. He's been very unabashed about his politics for a long time. I don't know. Vince Vaughn's not really in that category, but he was there.

Well, I mean, my feeling on it is, okay, maybe it was intent. Maybe they proved it in an individual case here or there. Maybe they didn't. We'll never know on the BLM rioters because they didn't charge them. They didn't charge the worst of the worst. I mean, Antifa was getting away with violent assaults of civilians, cops, and it wasn't just Antifa.

I have to say, I don't have one degree of horror at the J6 pardons. Not one. Like, If I'd been in charge, I probably wouldn't have pardoned the most violent, but I don't care.

OK, wanted to get to that Justin Baldoni news before we go. As you know, we had Brian Friedman, his lawyer on the show, also my own personal attorney, to talk about Justin's defense. And this thing is getting even more bizarre. So you may remember that one of the key allegations in her complaint against Justin Baldoni was as follows. OK, from paragraph 48 of her complaint.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
She writes on another occasion, Mr. Baldoni and Ms. Lively were filming a slow dance scene for a montage in which no sound was recorded. Mr. Baldoni chose to let the camera roll and have them perform the scene, but did not act in character as Ryle. Instead, he spoke to Ms. Lively out of character as himself. At one point, he leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips forward.

from her ear and down her neck as he said, it smells so good. None of this was remotely in character or based on any dialogue in the script and nothing needed to be said because again, there was no sound. Mr. Baldoni was caressing Ms. Lively with his mouth in a way that had nothing to do with their roles. When Ms.

And you can hear Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni interacting as themselves, knowing that this is all on video and that this is going to be used to create this dance scene. And no such moment is shown. Just watch it. Watch it.

They're in, they are not speaking as their characters because the sound was not going to be used in the film, but they are in character in the way, obviously Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are not choosing to hold hands and nuzzle each other and act in and behave as lovers in front of this room full of people.

He is flirtatious back, but they're talking about their spouses and it's all in good fun. She laughs and She laughs and says, oh, did you get beard on me?

This is what she's done throughout. She said, he came in my trailer while I was breastfeeding. Well, then he produced the text messages showing her saying, I'm breastfeeding, come on over. Like time and time again, she accuses him of doing something, which then when you hear the full context is an absolute nothing burger. She accused his producing partner of showing her pornography.

Then they produced in his lawsuit against her a picture of the alleged pornography.

You can't see any body parts. You can just see that two people clearly are in a bathtub holding their baby.

Just here's yet another one. She wants us to believe this is actionable harassment, what we just witnessed there. You tell me whether that's what that looks like to you. Well, so now... I said that they had written to the Human Rights Office in California. Let me correct that. It's to the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York, where she filed her lawsuit against him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
There's cross lawsuits by each, saying this is all retaliatory. All of his leaks to the media are retaliatory, and asking the court to shut him and Brian Friedman up, saying this must be shut down because they're trying to try this case in the media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
The only reason this whole thing got started before she filed the lawsuit, she just went to the California Human Rights Office, is because she clearly cooperated with the New York Times to leak the whole thing. Indeed, that's, Brian argues, the reason she went and filed the complaint with the Human Rights Division.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Ends DEI, 1/6 Pardons Media Meltdown, and Bombshell New Blake Lively Video, with Nicole Shanahan and Sasha Stone | Ep. 988
So that she could then leak it to the Times, so she could start to rehabilitate her reputation, which got smeared because she turned out to be not a very nice person. in the videos released last summer.

It's also illegal. I mean, it's blatantly illegal. You may not hire based on race at all. It cannot even be a factor. That's really clear under the law. We just pretended for a few years that those laws did not exist. And Trump's 100% right. This is unconstitutional. This is unlawful to hire based on race at all, if they even consider hiring.

It happened at Stanford Law when Erwin Chemerinsky, who's the dean out there, had a bunch of students who he had over to his home graciously to get together and talk about the law. turned it into a pro-Palestinian protest against him for like no particular reason and really got in his face and the face of his wife.

I often reference my friend in New York who campaigned for Joe Biden back in 2020, but who now is probably more to the right than I am. And Sasha's followed a similar trajectory. And Hollywood, you'll be stunned to hear, turned on her. In any event, we are going to start, though, today with someone who played a role in helping put Trump back in office, a former Democrat.

Yeah. Mm-hmm, and just so destructive. So it's wonderful to see Trump doing this. You mentioned the LA fires. I know you live a little north of that. You're in Northern California, but the debate that's unfolded in the wake of this, and it's ongoing now that Palisades fire is I think 63% contained. And I just heard my pal Janice Dean saying on Fox News this morning, they expect rain this weekend.

So that's good in the area. We're hoping and praying that's true. But, you know, the whole thing has been a level of incompetence that we haven't seen in recent history. I mean, it's just been absolutely devastating. And the intense focus by the LAFD on DEI and promoting the fact that the fire chief is a lesbian and so are her top two lieutenants, which no one cares about at all.

All he really could talk about was his infrastructure plan and how he was rebuilding America and 16 million jobs. He had nothing to say about his agenda for a second term.

Klain says Biden grew irritable, saying he would not make promises as he would be criticized for failing to deliver. So he knew he knew right there he wasn't going to be delivering. Klain said he tried to persuade Biden to run an unfinished business, including his attempt. Listen to this. This is the best.

The president was fatigued, befuddled and disengaged, writes Whipple. Klain feared the debate with Trump would be a nationally televised disaster. It was. On 27 June, Biden arrived at the Atlanta venue with just minutes to spare because Klain said he was the president of the United States. They weren't going to start without him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
On stage for two hours and six minutes, Biden stumbled, stared and mumbled. As described by Whipple, Jill Biden praised her husband's performance. She was like, there is no way I am leaving this White House, people. This is the nicest place I've ever lived. I feel important. I love being on Vogue. I think I'm secretly the president. And he did fine. It was great.

Whipple quotes an unnamed close friend of Biden who took a call from Valerie Biden Owens. That's the president's sister and longtime advisor who was, quote, so angry she was practically incoherent. Runs in the family. And then the same friend reports later, this friend spoke to Joe Biden, who was laughing at his predicament and sounding like the senator and vice president of old.

Where did that voice go? The friend wondered, where did that guy with that voice go? What the F happened to this guy? To Whipple, that was a question on which the political fate of the nation would turn. Eventually, Biden bowed to reality. Klain took a call from Jeff Zients on 21st of July, his successor chief of staff. Biden was out.

I think, Camille, this guy, Ron Klain, is worse. He's worse than Kamala Harris on it, right? Because it's like Kamala Harris was, you have to give her in a very tough position only the nominee because he gave it to her. And, you know, running around being like, he's mentally infirm. We all knew it. Yes, I saw it. Is a tough way to win and not then be undermined by the guy who gave you the baton.

Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
But Ron Klain, as chief of staff, had... more than enough opportunity to get this on record with powerful Democrats inside, outside the White House, and to get it on record with media and to make sure the public knew before it was too late for them to switch horses. Maybe that's why he feels the need to say now, no, it was never so bad. I didn't think he could do it. It was never so bad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
I thought he should step down. And he gave this interview before Kamala officially lost. But let's face it, by September, we all knew the likelihood was that she wasn't going to be able to pull this out. So that may also be playing a role. Like, I was right. Joe Biden could have done it. You know, there were some bad days, and I admit that to this reporter, but he wasn't so informed.

In any event, what this says to me is they're liars. They they stole a presidency. And I don't mean that in the sense Donald Trump means it from 2020. I mean, Joe Biden wasn't president. He might have been president of NATO, but he was not president of the United States. It appears that Ron Klain was and Jeff Zients was and Jill Biden was.

And we really don't actually know who was president for most of the time or making all these calls. And it's truly outrageous. And now bit by bit, they want to be returned to power. No, they lost those two special elections in Florida, but that's Florida, which is very red. I realize they tightened the margin a little, but all right. I mean, Republicans won by 15 points, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
It wasn't 30, but it was 15. But they did win that Wisconsin state Supreme Court election last night pretty easily. They won this special election in the state of Pennsylvania at the state level, not a federal election. And bit by bit, we're seeing Democrats put... Well, voters put Democrats back into power because Trump is controversial. Trump's doing a lot of controversial things.

Yeah, go ahead. As much as I would love to say to our audience, and I'm sure, you know, there are a lot of Republicans and conservatives, I know people want to celebrate that as like the silver lining. I saw Elon tweeting, it was all about that. The truth is that's not right. That isn't true. The law in Wisconsin already was that you had to show a photo ID when you vote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
That was a law on the book signed in a law. And Wisconsin voters had to show photo ID this past election. What they were doing here was writing it into the state constitution so it can't be changed more easily in the future. So that is another layer of protection. But let's be honest, this was not all about the photo ID, which is our It's already law in Wisconsin.

It wasn't. And they won by 14 points and 15 points respectively. Listen, the Democrats were outspending them almost 10 to 1. It was literally almost 10 million to 1 million in one of those races. And the Republicans, first of all, the Democrats, they're probably not going to have that kind of dough on every single House race on the next midterm election.

And the Republicans will be more engaged and start donating, and it'll be a bigger deal. But I think they knew at some level those two seats were not really in danger, and they didn't really care about slimmer margins. They just wanted to keep the seats, and they did. Yeah.

You actually don't have to leave right after the 130 days. But Brett Baer saw that we are, I don't know, a month or two away from hitting that point. He asked Elon about it.

President remains pleased with Musk and his Doge group, but both men have decided in recent days, it will soon be time for us to return to his businesses and take on a supporting role. According to three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to speak. Um, There's a headline over in the Daily Mail that he has stepped down as the head of Doge. That does not appear to be the case.

I don't think there's any question about that. So it really was valuable to us as a nation to have him get political, unlike Taylor Swift. So he did it. I think he did it for his country. He did it because as a businessman, he saw all the red tape and the regulations we were drowning in and realized the average man could never fight this fight, never fight this fight. So he decided to do it.

Okay, there's a lot to get to. We've got to spend some time on the deportation of the guy who's El Salvadorian. He's Salvadorian. But if you read The Atlantic, you'd probably think he was a U.S. citizen who'd never done anything wrong. I came to this story late because I was off on...

Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
I was traveling yesterday and then later on Monday, I went out to California to speak with a lovely group of people. In any event, what appears to have happened here, very long and involved story short, is this guy sneaked into the country illegally in 2012 from El Salvador. He did not claim asylum or any of that nonsense. He ultimately got, uh, arrested.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
And in response to that arrest wound up in an immigration court where he said, um, or where others said about him that he was a gang member and that a judge, an immigration judge found there was credible evidence and that he was in fact, a part of MS 13, a dangerous gang. Then it went up to a higher appellate court judge within the immigration system who said, yep, I see it too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
The guy's a danger to society. And no, we will not be releasing him. And he still did not claim asylum. And it wasn't until he was on the... the brink of being deported. We were saying, get out. You have to go back home. Uh, and he had already in that time met an American, married her and, uh, his two brothers came, they got green cards. They had a baby. He's like, Oh, I really don't want to go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
And suddenly it was an asylum claim. Suddenly he claimed I need asylum. It's very dangerous in El Salvador. There's this terrible gang. It's not MS 13. It's a different gang that I never heard of. And, um, If I go back home, I'm going to be killed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
They're going to kill my whole family because we've been making some sort of food in my mom's house that has led to death threats against my mom and me and everybody. And you can't send me back there. It was on the eve of deportation, which does undermine the claim entirely. And instead of saying, you know what, you can have asylum because the statute of limitations had passed on that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
You have to assert asylum claims within one year of getting here. And he didn't. He was well past it. The judge said, all right, I'll give you temporary protection from removal. And all this judge said was, you may not be removed to El Salvador. from the United States. And that is the only blanket of protection this guy had over his head that we couldn't remove.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
But at any point we could have removed him to Canada. We could have removed him to Mexico. We could have removed him to Columbia. And what happened since Trump is now doing immigration crackdowns is they arrested this guy looking at that underlying history that I just laid out saying he's part of MSF 13 and a higher court confirmed it and said, you got to go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
And if they had deported him, even without a hearing, to any other country, including Colombia or, you know, take your pick, they would have been fine. But instead, they deported him to the one country he's not supposed to go to under that non-removal blanket, which was El Salvador. However, Trump is allowed under the law even to remove him there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
if the threat that existed when we gave him the temporary protection has abated, if it's been lifted, if something's happened in the country. And there's a real argument. I guess the President Bukele of El Salvador has cracked down on this other gang. It ends in 18. I can't remember. There's MS-13. Maybe this is MS-18. I can't remember, but it's 18.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
He's completely apparently eradicated this gang in the intervening years. So even then, Trump would have had an argument that, you know what, the circumstances that led to his temporary removal have abated. And under the law, I'm allowed to say they've abated and he's out of here. But he should have had a hearing about that. And they didn't give him one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
So they did commit a violation of procedure. And that's the story. It's not great, but I will tell you up front, I view this the same way I view the death of Palestinians. It's all on Hamas. It's all on Hamas. That's really how I see it. Hamas committed a terrible, atrocious terror attack, and they invited this unleashed violence into their region that wasn't there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
Israel had no choice but to eradicate Hamas and gave warnings and tried to tell everybody we're about to do it, and this is where the bombs are going to fall. Hamas uses its fellow citizens as human shields, and so I blame them for the violence that has happened there. thereafter. And that's how I see this. I think this too is the Democrats' fault. You opened the borders.

I have to be honest. We're not deporting American citizens. Nobody has said, oh my God, there's an American in the El Salvadorian prison. They are screening. And the vast majority of these folks are already under a removal order, have already been adjudicated. And it might be all of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
I'm trying to figure this out right now, whether everybody who gets on board one of these planes is actually under an order of removal that's already been handed down by a judge.

Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
But I'm pretty sure it's either the vast it's either the vast majority or it's all.

I don't know if it was because they wanted to lean more into owning what they do, but I actually think fair and balanced worked because it was really like it provided balance to the rest of the news media, which was true, and they did it in a fair way.

No, literally. Okay, let's get to that. No, he's not joking. That's not an exaggeration for effect. Okay, let's keep going through the article. Okay, because my hat is off to you, reporter Chris Whipple. You did a great job. I can't wait to read your book. Okay, here's more. Uh, as described by Klain to Chris Whipple at one point, again, I'm quoting you from the guardian piece.

At one point, Biden had an idea. If he looked perplexed when Trump talked, voters would understand that Trump was an idiot. Klain allegedly replied to Joe Biden, sir, when you look perplexed, people just think you're perplexed. And this is our problem in this race. Now, who knows whether that's true? I've got questions whether he really said that to Joe Biden. Okay, there's more. Okay.

And a bombshell new book reveals what Joe Biden ally, Ron Klain, who was his chief of staff for two years, really saw while prepping for that disastrous debate. Now the stories come out Bit by bit, the stories come out about what they knew. They're all trying to save their own asses by being like, he was a hot mess and I knew. Well, why'd you lie to all of us publicly over?

Whipple told Politico last week in an interview about his book, I happen to think that to call it a cover-up is simplistic. I think it was stranger and way more troubling than that. Biden's inner circle, his closest advisors, many of them, were in the fog of delusion and denial. They believed what they wanted to believe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
They go on to talk about how even after the disastrous debate, according to Klain, to Whipple, Klain believed Biden should stay in the race. And then after he quit, that he should have stayed in the race. And they talk about, okay, this is the juicy part, the prep for the debate. At his first meeting with Biden in Aspen Lodge, the president's cabin, according to Whipple, Klain was startled.

He had never seen him so exhausted and out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Unaware. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool. That evening, Biden met again with Klain and his team. Biden aides Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed. We sat around the table, said Klain.

Biden had answers on cards and he was just extremely exhausted. And I was struck by how out of touch with American politics he was. so out of touch with American politics, the sitting president of the United States. He was just very, very focused on his interactions with NATO leaders. And here it is, Moynihan. Yeah. Klain writes Whipple, quote,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Biden Cognitive Decline Details, Elon's Future, and Cory's Long Speech, with The Fifth Column | Ep. 1040
wondered half seriously if Biden thought he was president of NATO instead of the U.S. He just became very enraptured with being the head of NATO, he said. Oh, my God. He thought he was the head of NATO and not the president of the United States. That's according to his chief of staff for two years who prepped him for the debate. That happened in June of this past year.

Yeah. She's very angry in this opinion about the alleged animus—again, it's another word for hatred—of President Trump in the executive order. She writes, "...the military ban is soaked in animus and dripping with pretext. Its language is unabashedly demeaning. Its policy stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit, and its conclusions bear no relation to fact."

Thus, even if the court analyzed the military ban under the rational basis review, which is the easiest one to pass, it would fail. Defendants have not provided a legitimate reason for banning all transgender troops. The military ban is unique in its unadulterated expression of animus. Now, I looked at the ban and I didn't see any of that.

I'm like, honestly, is this where she's getting animus from saying that it can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to compete, complete treatments after transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics. That's true. As I've mentioned before, there's someone in my extended family who went through this. It's a crazy story. One day, maybe I'll get permission to tell it.

Look, I don't want to spend time on that one because the effect of that is Marco Rubio just needs to make all the same decisions and he'll be fine. All the same things are about to happen.

But a big legal dispute has unfolded over whether Trump has the right to do this now. First, let's spend a moment on the judge. His name is Brosberg. He is in the these are all D.C. district court judges, federal district court judges in Washington, D.C., because that's where the government's based. He was an Obama appointee.

about whether he should have recused himself from this case to begin with. And I'll tell you, I've got my own questions about it. Laura Loomer, she's said some things that are not true and that are conspiratorial, but she said a lot that is true. She is not wrong just because she's controversial. And we'll find out, we'll update the audience. But

She went, and we believe what she did is she looked at his confirmation hearing to see what he said about himself. And it looks to us like at his confirmation hearing, he did confirm that he had two daughters. twins, one of whom is named Catherine. It looks like Catherine's age right now would be 24 or 25.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
And that dovetails with the picture that we have of the alleged Catherine Roseberg, who is being accused in this exclusive thread by Laura Loomer of working for a 501c3 called Partners for Justice. which gives criminal, illegal aliens and gang members legal advice.

this judge's daughter could potentially be hurt in her employment by a substantial reduction in crime rates, in caseloads involving, you know, that keep Partners for Justice busy, relating to gangs and deportations. And so there is a possibility that this judge inappropriately sat on this case or at least violated an ethical canon by not disclosing that his daughter has an active role

I think, Charlie, that you and I may disagree on on the propriety of Judge Boasberg holding the hearings on this and thinking that he can second guess the Trump administration on this. And that's that's fine. We can get into that. But my own position is, if you look at the wording, first of all, let's understand this. Trump has already changed expedited removal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
They've already expanded the scope of expedited removal. So let's forget for table for a moment the Alien Enemies Act. Expedited removal has been used by all administrations in certain cases to just return people at the border. Get out. You crossed over. Congratulations. You swam the Rio Grande. Goodbye. I don't care. Get out. We can see that you're an illegal and you sneaked in here. Goodbye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Well, he has expanded the use of expedited removal. It used to be within 100 miles of the border and 14 days of their arrival to anywhere in the person who's, quote, undocumented, who can't prove they've been here for continuously two years. All right. So Trump's already done that, saying that's how Tom Holman's going into these communities and saying, you're done. You're out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
I don't have to give you a hearing. You're just leaving. Now, some have had hearings and just decided to stay because even when under the Biden administration, they had hearings saying you have to leave. You don't qualify for asylum. We never enforced it. We just turned them back out into America and let them live here. So those people are also being ejected.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
And those might be some of the people who are on one of those planes Trump sent to El Salvador. At least that's what the administration is claiming, that they're not all ejected under Alien Enemies Act. Some were ejected under good old fashioned immigration laws. They'd already been told to leave and they overstayed. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
So in any event, if expedited removal can allow Tom Homan to go grab somebody in Colorado and kick them out, why, why is there any controversy over this at all? Why are we even arguing alien enemies act? I does. That's my number one thought. My second thought is, OK, but we are. The administration has said Alien Enemies Act 1798.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
It's a law that was written by the very founders who drafted the Constitution applies. And that law says if there's been a declared war or if the country is suffering from an invasion or an incursion by a potential enemy force, the president has the authority to deport the people associated with it. without due process. It's really what it says. There's no hearing required.

But if you have gender dysphoria and say you're a trans person, you're a man who thinks he's a woman or vice versa, this judge, LGBTQ, she's the first openly gay woman on the bench in at least D.C., I think it is. has ruled you must be allowed to serve, that the commander-in-chief and the secretary of defense may not tell you that you cannot serve. You can be too short.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
You can just throw them out. And Trump is relying not really on the war. He's relying on invasion or incursion. And if you look at the statute, which I did pull, invasion or incursion, how do we determine? Like, obviously, act of war declared. That's by Congress. You have to look to see if Congress had declared war. Invasion or incursion says, as declared by the president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
So the enabling statute here passed by Congress at the time of the founding fathers says the president gets to decide whether it's an invasion or an incursion. And once he's declared that, which he has here, he may deport people without due process, which is why I believe he did so. He was well within his rights to do what he did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
And I think the rest of that enabling statute, Alien Enemies Act, kicks in, which says there is no power of judicial review under these circumstances. Now you go.

Well, we'll get Andy and Mike Davis on here, and then we'll really talk about it. But I think the American public understands the political question doctrine, even if they don't know that that's what they're understanding. They understand that the commander-in-chief has certain inherent powers that the Congress may not and that the judges may not second-guess. Like...

I mean, it's an incursion. We've got 10 to 22 million illegals. Listen, Rich, you got, I got to take a break, and we can resume this on the other side.

But it kind of gets to the very nature of what's wrong here, which is it's really not for Chief Justice Roberts to say, Rich. I mean, I respect the chief justice. I respect what he does for the country. But Congress is in charge of whether a judge gets impeached. And it's really not any of his damn business.

Not only that, Charlie, but Judge Boasberg is a big boy. He's the chief judge in the District of Columbia. It's right underneath the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Dear Chief Justice John Roberts, for more than two centuries, he's playing off of the words used by Roberts, it has been established that impeachment is a political decision by Congress. An activist judge ordering planes to turn around during a national security operation is not a judicial decision.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
It is a highly illegal and extremely dangerous sabotage of the presidency, which is an impeachable offense. Your statement is not an appropriate response. The normal impeachment process exists. And here's just one more, which I would love to ask you about, Rich.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Julie Kelly writes, for more than two centuries, again, Congress has abdicated its oversight role related to the federal judiciary, creating a crisis of confidence among the American people that is quickly destroying trust in the third branch of government. And she fixed it for you to Roberts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
And she said that's them accusing all trans people of being liars, which, I mean, not for nothing, but you could make the case. If you're looking at me and you're Charles C.W. Cook and saying you're a woman, yeah, I'm probably going to think you're not telling me the truth. But in any event, she got in this lawyer's face and said, oh. That shows animus.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
But I think that raises a very interesting point and captures the angst and anger that so many Americans are feeling right now as these judges try to stop the Trump agenda in its cradle. with decisions like the one we kicked the show off with by Judge Reyes, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
That there is a federal judiciary creating a crisis of confidence by overstepping their remit and then absolutely no oversight role being exercised by Congress or by anybody else, you know? That's her frustration and it's the frustration of a lot of Americans.

Yeah, they're not going to be the votes for it, but they're trying to make a point that he's way out over his skis. I mean, yesterday what we saw was the ACLU feeding him the questions that they wanted the DOJ to answer about these planes, and he just did it hook, line, and sinker. This is what the ACLU wants to know. You better answer it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
And so now we have the commander-in-chief removing gang members from the country, having to answer to the ACLU exactly when, where, why, who, all of it, And again, it's very controversial given the discussion that happened in the first hour of this show.

Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Okay, on the subject of lawfare, one of the people that Trump is trying to deport is Mahmoud Khalil, who was a Columbia University student, who was the spokesperson for a very controversial group on campus called the Columbia University Apartheid Divest Group. And that was the group that took Hamilton Hall hostage recently. committed tons of property.

I mean, we showed the video on Monday, but I mean, less people forget it was extremely riotous, broke the windows with hammers. They threatened Jewish students. They didn't allow Jewish students to get from A to B on campus. We could go down the list, but very controversial stuff. And he was their spokesperson saying you divest from Israel, Columbia, or you get more Hamilton halls.

It's like hatred by President Trump towards trans people. And what should I do to you? Should I ban this guy? This lawyer went to the University of Virginia Law School. Should I ban all University of Virginia lawyers from this point forward for being liars? This is part of why the DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against this judge after an earlier hearing. She's out of control.

He should go back to Syria. It's very warm there. He's going to be much happier. In the early morning hours, agents transported me to another facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There, I slept on the ground and was refused a blanket, despite my, I'm telling you, the man, he doesn't, he shouldn't be here. The Northeast in March is no place for Khalil.

My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech. He talks about how he was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism from both the Biden and Trump administrations, etc. Okay, he says... They're determined to support Israel with weapons to kill the Palestinians, blah, blah, blah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
He goes back to the racism. President Shafiq Armstrong, he's talking about Columbia authorities, and the dean laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to target me by arbitrarily disciplining pro-Palestinian students arbitrarily, he says, and allowing viral doxing campaigns based on racism. and disinformation.

Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Columbia targeted me for my activism, activism creating a new authoritarian disciplinary office to bypass due process and silence students criticizing Israel. That sounds just like Columbia, doesn't it? And then he ends it By saying the Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Visa holders, green card carriers and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. This comes as a U.S. district court has just decided that they will not. let this case be heard in the Southern District of New York, which is what Khalil wanted, nor will they let it be heard in Louisiana, which is what the DOJ wanted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
They will have it be tried in the district court in New Jersey, which was the government's fallback because they brought him to New Jersey after detaining him in New York. So it's sort of a split the baby situation, but I think the Trump administration could be happy with New Jersey over SDNY, which is pretty far left.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Marco Rubio has this ace in the hole, which says there is an explicit statute saying the secretary of state can deport you if he thinks you pose a reasonable threat to the foreign policy of the United States. That card has been played on Mahmoud Khalil, it's over and no one cares how cold he is without his blankie.

He took the campus of Columbia University hostage and acted as a spokesperson for the group that was threatening a lot more mayhem, Charles. I mean, it doesn't matter whether it was actually charged as a crime by Alvin Bragg, what he was doing. very much looks like extortion and conspiracy under the criminal law to me. And you don't even have to prove that.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Here we go again, C squared. Let's do this. It's irrelevant. It's something that he used to pull on the heartstrings of the judge, but it has absolutely no legal relevance that you're married to an American or about to have an American baby.

Well, no, but I mean, of course, U.S. person is a term of legal art, which, you know, but it's it's it's not synonymous with American citizen. It's not. You're not allowed to get public benefits.

One of the reasons the Democrats and the left left are getting all these favorable rulings is because they're judge shopping. They're they're making sure that they file these cases in the most leftist jurisdictions that they possibly can. And and trying to get, you know, a good judge. That's why they wanted this case with Khalil to stay in the SDNY. It's why they're thrilled with Judge Boasberg.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
Judge Chuang, who just did the USAID ruling. All these people are left-wing appointed judges, and so they're thrilled. But unfortunately for them, we have a Supreme Court that right now is 6-3 with the conservatives, notwithstanding Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who's been slightly soft. So we'll see how she does.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
But I think in the end, I feel like Coney Barrett will do the right thing. I don't know about the chief judge. And that's a 5-4 situation. ruling in President Trump's favor on, I think, most of his agenda, which will be ultimately upheld. Okay, let's keep going. That's Khalil. He was not held because of racism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tesla Attacks, Weird Walz Comments, and Judges Keep Fighting Trump, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1030
He was certainly not held because of some discrimination by the Columbia University administrators. Good God! They let them hold the university campus and abuse Jews for months. I mean, it just went on and on and on. And now he's got the nerve to claim this is racism against him.

OK, we've got to get to this incident on CNN, which I've been promising the audience for days and just haven't been able to get to. Bill Weir, who is a far left radical climate activist, is the chief climate correspondent on CNN. And he covers, as a result, EPA and now Lee Zeldin at EPA.

EPA administrator Lee Zeldin took to X the very next day writing another media fact check face plant where the fact checker doesn't have the slightest clue what he is talking about.

So here's the thing, though. So this guy, Bill Weir, I don't know if you guys are probably nobody's familiar with him because no one knows who he is. But he being in the business and on cable news, I've been watching this guy for years and he is as rabid a partisan as they come. He was at ABC. Now he's at CNN.

Yes. All right. So he ultimately was forced after being publicly shamed to issue a correction on CNN, which he did. That's good. That's a bare minimum that's required of people. But if you look at this guy's actual reporting, taking away his mental deficiencies as evidenced in those letters, it's, of course, completely biased, pro-Obama, Biden, anti-Trump.

He was backbencher. He only got to play because the first stringer got hurt and everybody was like, oh, bullshit. Kurt Warners were in the socks. Yeah. And sure enough, it was just such a great story, right? MVP of the football game. So I'm just sensing a theme in the stories that you select that they all have heartstrings and they have these like classic American stories.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But let's be honest, their coffers are a lot more shallow than ours are. And we're the number one player in making this thing go away. So that's why Trump is taking the lead. He's dealing with Putin directly. And Zelensky just keeps dropping these not helpful statements. And I think Trump has about had it because he just issued a truth, you know, a truth social. And I'll give you a couple.

And so they make you, they make you write the lists. Now people like keep a gratitude journal where you must write down three things a day is the ideal that you're grateful for. It's just, it's the whole exercise of it. But I think it's, it's interesting that you, you're feeling emotional as, as you're discussing this, because when,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
when I read your bio and read up on you in advance of today, the last time we didn't do that, I just thought you were an interesting actor who was getting kind of political and that was interesting. But you, you're interesting. You've had quite a background and I'm now having gotten to know you a little bit better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
It's no mystery at all to me why you've chosen the projects that you've chosen or why you're doing so well with them or why you feel emotional now discussing it because you have had your own lifetime of struggles And it's probably what drove you into acting for many reasons. And it's what led to your initial frustration in choosing a profession, which is overloaded with rejection, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Before you made it. And I'm sure there's still some of it now, but the whole journey makes a lot more sense to me.

A modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, talked the United States of America into spending $350 billion to go into a war that could not be won, that never had to start. but a war that he, without the U.S. and Trump, will never be able to settle. The U.S. has spent $200 billion more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the U.S. will get nothing back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Well, I think it's interesting just as an explanation of your life's choices and of how difficult it must have been for you in the earlier, leaner years of being an actor. You know, because like that you chose a profession that is also destabilizing, not predictable, full of rejection and difficult personalities and probably a fair amount of mental illness. Let's be honest. Oh, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
That's very interesting. You know how they say you marry the best and worst qualities of your parents? Yeah. It's like kind of what you did in your job choice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Well, that's an interesting pivot point in your life when you moved to Austin because your career was going well. You had started in two series. You'd done multiple projects. You moved to Austin, which everybody loves. You know, we were just talking with another guest who moved to Austin, loved it. But... It didn't start off that way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
When you got down there, that was sort of your crisis point where you really thought about ending it all, despite the fact that you'd already starred in TV series, on primetime television. Like many actors, I think you found it wasn't the Holy Grail. It wasn't going to fill up everything. And you got very, very low. So you mentioned this last time we were together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
We didn't have a lot of time to talk about it. But can you just talk about how that hit you and how you then got out of that? Because that was before Shazam.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You remember that Trump struck the deal the other day, or was starting to, that would allow for us to have access to Ukraine's natural minerals as collateral for our money. But nobody even thought of that. Biden was just handing them boatloads of dollars without any promise in return. So Trump is saying here that we spent $200 billion. Europe got a guarantee. We never did.

Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
No, no, no. There's a, there's a now famous clip of, uh, JD Vance and me in 2017, when I did this long profile in him on NBC, it's on YouTube. You can Google everybody's seen it at this point, but where we, we kick off the interview by me ticking down, um, raised in a house with domestic abuse, check. Raised in a house with alcoholism, check. Raised in a house with divorce, check.

And these are all childhood trauma, CTEs, childhood trauma experiences. And he had all of them. I mean, so you're absolutely right. Like trauma, maybe one of those could be mild for somebody, could be severe for another, but a bunch of them in the same family leads to kind of massive trauma that must be dealt with at some point.

Why didn't sleepy Joe Biden demand equalization and that this war is far more important to Europe than it is for us? We have a big, beautiful ocean as separation. Obviously, Europe is part of Ukraine and Ukraine's part of Europe and Europe has to worry about this war, which is in its backyard, not ours. On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent him is missing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Sounds fancy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
They all are. Frankly, they all are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
No, I had a loved one go into one of these facilities for over a month, and it was completely life-changing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And, but it was exorbitant. I mean, it was extremely expensive. It was like $80,000 and truly no one can afford that. Nobody can afford that unless they have an extraordinary job and there's no insurance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
That's exactly right. He admitted that it's gone underreported, but we've got over $100 billion that's just kind of gone. And Zelensky's admitting it. And by the way, if you said we don't trust him, we think this man should not be entrusted with the American dollars, you would be called all sorts of names as recently as like six months ago. But it's a valid concern.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Mm-hmm.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I went to therapy for years. I had such a great guy. I haven't seen him in a while, but I love him. And he gave me so many useful tools to deal with stress or anything, sadness, conflict. It's just about widening your arsenal. That's what it's about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
He's admitted that it's gone and no one knows where. He says Zelensky refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden like a fiddle. A dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And you declined it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
OK, so that's a great place to leave this conversation on the back end. We'll pick it up. That's a tease, as we call it in the news biz. We'll take a break. More on that story and on Zach right after this. Wow. Unbelievable. Four years of crushing interest rates, runaway inflation and reckless government spending. And who is paying the price? You are. You might have bills stacking up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You might have debt collectors on your back. You might barely be able to keep food on the table. And that's stressful. Done with debt can be a way out. These guys have developed a new aggressive strategy, many of them actually, designed to get you out of debt permanently without bankruptcy and without loans. Done with debt will stand between you and your bill collectors.

They create a plan to end your debt fast and put more cash in your pocket every month. And right now, done with debt is accepting new clients, but you need to act fast. some of these credit relief programs expire.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Only because... Not because you were too big for Shazam. Well, the audition for it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Yeah, yeah. Because you didn't think you were going to get it. You thought this was kind of like a chain jerk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
So now they come to you two and a half weeks into this Connecticut facility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something I'll admit only Trump and the Trump administration can do. Biden never tried. Europe has failed to bring peace, and Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has done a terrible job, his country is shattered, and millions have unnecessarily died, and so it continues.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Thank you, friends at Sirius. I love it. And this seat will be occupied momentarily by Zach Levi, who is here in the building and on his way up. And I'm looking forward to speaking with him. There's a lot to go over today. And you know what? Before we get to that. Picking up on our AM update. I don't know if you guys listened to the AM update this morning. It was our first morning podcast.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And she's the one who prayed for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But sometimes you need to feel unsettled as a cue that you're not on the right path.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And let me tell you why this is so bad for Zelensky. It's because recently, Trump, since he took office, was sounding not neoconny. Trump is not neoconny. You know, J.D. Vance and Tucker are much more in the non-interventionalist camp. That's very large within the Republican Party. I would say Trump is... Close to them, but not entirely aligned with them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And so set the stage for us since nobody listening, virtually nobody has auditioned to star in a Hollywood movie, much less a superhero movie. What size is the room? How many people are in there? You're walking in, you've just come out of therapy from this intensive program. Is it an intimidating setting or how is it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
It's not a whole... Who's more important in that setting, the director or the casting director?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
It was perfect for you because you did have a background in being funny. I mean, in acting. Did I? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And I love being in it. I have a child playing Ursula in the eighth grade play. Do you? Yeah, coming up, coming up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Oh, my God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But, yeah, so big things are happening in our house, too. Yeah. We haven't put her through quite that level of scrutiny yet. So you do it. And then how soon thereafter do they tell you you got it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Talk about getting an instant return on your investment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
He's still got like a toe over in, not neocon camp, but you know, he's not afraid to drop a bomb on a guy like Soleimani. He's, you know, if the situation calls for it, Trump will be more bellicose, both in his language and then ultimately in his behavior. And What Zelensky doesn't want to do is saber-rattle Trump over to the J.D.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And then I can give you a 50. It is like the way we look at our children with the most generous lens and very quick to forgive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
What year is this? What point in time is this? So now you've gotten cast and you're gonna start shooting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
So that's seven and a half years ago. And since then, it's been just nonstop, right? I mean, it's just been, it seems like you've been on a tear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But it's all good. But you're a working actor doing great projects on the big screen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Why did Bill Maher think that you'd been canceled when you went on with him in December?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Vance Tucker side, where Ukraine will get even less than Trump is trying to negotiate for them. Right. Trust me when I tell you they'll do better under Trump in a good mood than they will under Trump in a screw you Zelensky mood. So this is not smart behavior from a guy who has very few chips with which to bargain.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Why did she reach out to you? Did she see that you were in our game?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Get kicked out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
That is definitely crossing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You gotta sacrifice. You gotta sacrifice. I've told the audience before, when the Trump team asked me to speak for him at his last rally before the vote, the night before election day, is not something a journalist would normally do. That is crossing a line that you just don't normally cross.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And even this whole show, my transformation into more of a pundit, a journalist too, but my daily job is more punditry, has been an evolution. But that's a bigger line to cross. And I really, same as you, I was like, I don't know if I should cross that. It's like, not because of blowback, but just because it's a before and after moment for me, for sure, as a journalist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But like you just said, I truly did feel called. Even my husband's like, I don't think you should do it, Meg. Nothing against Trump. He was a Trump supporter. But he's like, you know, you don't want the blowback. It's not a line you have to cross. And I'm like, honey, I got to do it. I don't know why. I just know I do. And I was so glad I did it. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I didn't feel ashamed, bad on the precipice of waiting, you know, the gunfire that would be the rhetorical. Yeah. I felt totally empowered and like I was in exactly the right alignment, you know, whereas I was supposed to be. So I completely relate to what you're saying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But now for me, the blowback would just be mean articles written about me by my fellow people in the press, which I've had millions of for you. It could be that could cost you your career. Potentially at that point, you have to be thinking it could cost me my career.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Trump spoke to what's happening between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine from Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday. Here's top five.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I hereby announced my own cancellation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Defend, yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I think part of the call that you heard and answered was part of a bigger thing that's happening in the country at the same time, which is more and more people feeling that same connection with Trump, with his message, with what he actually stands for, not what the left says he stands for.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Just the dawn of a new day in America where we're no longer obsessed with identity politics and dividing each other based on things we can't control about one another. The very foundation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment and a lot of things that are foundational to our country's evolution that we've been eschewing for the past decade plus. And Trump
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Got got us back to he said, we're ready.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
We are ready to go back to our foundational beliefs and not dividing each other like that and having open debates about controversial subjects and listening to a guy like Bobby Kennedy instead of just dismissing him as a kook and listening to Tulsi Gabbard's different views on the Intelligence Committee, even if they're loathed by by more Republicans on the panel than they are by the Democrats on the panel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Let's listen. Maybe she's got some good ideas. The whole country was just ready for that, you know. Let's, you know, like you do with the Etch A Sketch. Let's just, okay, we need a cleanse.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You made a passing comment. You're saying people that we have to keep in mind that good people are losing their jobs. Not everybody should lose their jobs. Yeah. And in an appeal, I think, to Trump, you know, even MAGA people are losing their jobs. Exactly. And then, of course, the left spun that back on you. You only care about the MAGA people. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I actually thought it was kind of cute that you defended yourself and posted, like, follow-up tweets. Like, no, that's not what I was doing. I'm well past that point. I'm like, fuck off. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And I don't... They're not honest brokers. They don't actually want to hear any explanation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You have a much higher opinion of the dialogue on Twitter on X than I do. Let's go. I almost feel the need to apologize when I say something nice on there. Like, forgive me. I'm just going to be nice for a minute. But I really have something lovely to say. Even though Elon has said he wants it to be nicer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
You're a much sweeter person than I am. I think the audience knows that though. Now, wait, I know the answer to this, but were you raised Catholic? Christian? Yes. But Catholic? I can't remember the denomination.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Well, you must be feeling pretty good about your decision in the wake of the Pope. Have you seen that he's weighing in on Trump's immigration policy? He's in the hospital like he could be dying, but he took a moment to condemn the determination to deport. He seems OK, according to a statement with the those who have committed additional crimes in addition to being here illegally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But he's really upset about us wanting to deport Trump. people who are just here illegally. He seems to want us to believe we have some moral obligation to let them stay in the country. This from a man who lives in the Vatican, which is surrounded by a big, big fence. God bless Pope Francis. I don't wish for anything terrible to happen to him. He is very ill in the hospital right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Well, that's the other piece of it. And I think we all know that's true. He has a different relationship with Vladimir Putin. And Putin would have been more, if not afraid of Trump, then respectful, I think, of the power that Trump yields as the United States president. Trump went on to say, yeah, I can end this war. And honestly, everyone knows that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But I'm sorry, the nerve. This is not what Catholics need right now, which is to have the leader of the church scolding the American president for his immigration policy. This is what makes people dislike religion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Yeah, still Catholic. Raising three little Catholics.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
He's like, I'm out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I'm out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I don't think the Catholic Church is getting paid to help all these immigrants.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
It's made me think twice about putting money in the basket on Sundays. Like, what am I what exactly am I supporting?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
I don't want to have to think about that crap. I don't want my church doing that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
The Pope's not having any meetings in the short term. I mean, he's actually truly not doing well. So, I mean, I'm praying for him. I don't want him to die. I don't want anything bad to happen to him. But he's very elderly, and this is a serious lung problem. I don't know how this is going to go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
But, you know, to me, it's actually kind of crazy because we're right in the midst of this Oscar season. One of the films nominated is this Conclave, which is absolutely sacrilegious. It's a disgusting film, in my opinion. They make the new Pope—spoiler alert— um, intersects, meaning he has a vagina. It's like, okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
So he really, like, again, Zelensky's playing with fire. Take a listen here to SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
So now God forbid the Pope dies and we go through a conclave, which is the process by which they elect the new Pope. Of course, this is like, we're going to be like, can, could we make sure it's a man? Is it at a bare minimum?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Could we, and it's going to be an explosive thing for the Catholic church if, if, and when it, I mean, when, when it ultimately happens, because there's, there is a battle for the soul of the Catholic church right now between. It's a battle for the soul of the world. Yes. People who are genuinely committed, look, who have more conservative views and those who are far left.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And we have a far left Pope right now, which has led to the consternation of a lot of diehard Catholics when it comes to the Latin mass. There's a lot of issues. All right, wait, I want to shift gears because before we leave the RFK discussion and God, by the way, this ties it all together. He did take over at the National Institutes of Health at HHS this week.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And he made a comment, which he's made before, but it doesn't get old, on how meaningful it was for him and how important Trump has been really in changing Bobby Kennedy's life. Listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And then getting Bobby across the line.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
So that's where things stand now. Look, if he strikes a deal with Putin that allows Putin to have some most it's going to probably going to be most of the territory that they have taken in Ukraine, but also says and and also says that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Putin will accept that deal and Zelensky is going to accept that deal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And here it's like, even if you are against Trump, if you're against Bobby Kennedy, whatever you believe about him, like, listen to what he's saying he's going to do. Listen and ask yourself, wouldn't this be great? What's so bad about this? Here he is going on in soundbite eight. Take a listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
He hit it all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
They're doing studies on like trans fish and COVID vaccines and how many 14th, 15th versions we need. This is exactly it. He hit all the stuff that's unhittable. Who the hell else is talking about EMF and that glyphosate? I can never pronounce it. That's all right. But they're spraying it all over our wheat, which is why it's in every box of pasta that you buy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And you don't even know it's in there, these pesticides that are all over our food. Both parties are guilty. The Republicans represent a lot of farmers, too. We love our farmers. But the farmers, too, I'm sure would love to find some way of getting rid of these toxic chemicals so they don't have to swim in them all day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And they can create products that are actually healthy and good for us and taste good. No one's even talking about this other than him. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
Same as they're going to try to derail every step of Doge. Every bit of it, but...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
That has been more out there in the conversation, but it's very bold for the HHS director to say we actually are going to be looking into these. It's just Americans are taking the antidepressants like they're candy and they don't realize why they're not getting better. And then they up the dosage and then they try a different one and they up the dosage there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And there's no actual public health official being really straight with them on the downsides of these drugs and how there might be alternative ways not to rip on those drugs. They have been helpful for a lot of people, but they're not for everybody. And it's the first line of defense. My friend has a daughter in college.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Zachary Levi on RFK and Tulsi Bringing Him to Trump, Secrets of Hollywood, and How God Saved His Life | Ep. 1010
And she went to like the college counseling place because it can be a difficult adjustment. They try to push an SSRI on her. It's like, for the love of God, maybe just talk to her. Do talk therapy. Do cognitive behavioral therapy before we just knee jerk give the drug.

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut telling Punchbowl News Ms. Dreamer was among the best picks Democrats could hope for. Oh, boy. Kash Patel cleared another hurdle in his nomination process to lead the FBI. Despite strong Democrat opposition, Mr. Patel appeared to have the votes to pass.

This is just the latest in a string of medical episodes suffered by the head of the Catholic Church. About a week and a half ago, Pope Francis only got halfway through his homily before breathlessness forced him to hand it off to an aide. This was not the first time such a thing has happened. The Pope has a long history of lung problems.

She stole the whole show, the terrible one, but she was fit and able to move, unlike our current president. And then we've got an update on those drones. They're slipping the truth inside of their lives now. What was it? Rego, Rego, Rego. Uh, ray gun, ray gun. Okay. It sounds like a toy that we're going to get our kids for Christmas.

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Well, yeah. I mean, I used to love it. When I grew up going to Broadway when I was younger, it wasn't like this. And I know it's woke and I know it's always been very gay. That's just different. That's different. There's a reason more and more groups are going LGB.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
LGB and breaking up with the T because they see the T as a group that wants to perform conversion therapy on young gay boys to say, you're not actually gay. You're actually a girl, a straight girl. And so like, it's very dicey now for them to be embracing the T so heartily. In fact, we went to a play not long ago and one of the actors in the play noticed that
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
me sitting there and I had done a post on my Instagram celebrating the show. And one of the actors responded saying, Oh, it was great to see you there. You know, you should have come backstage and say, have said hello. And then these trans people get on there. Like we will cancel you. You, you like her. You said something night. Like they're so over the top now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And even if you try to go there and say, all right, I'm going to ignore these far left extremists who are trying to trans little boys, they make it impossible. They're everywhere. Every other role is a trans role now, far more representative than it is in society.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And to the point where it's like fine for a Supreme Court justice, they've hijacked girl empowerment plays to make them about boy empowerment, which is what a trans, quote, woman is. And she's fine. This is the same person who couldn't tell us what a woman is, Adam.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And Sonia Sotomayor was the one who, two weeks ago, when that case about whether these states are allowed to ban puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for kids went up, she was like, oh, come on, there are side effects from an aspirin, too. There are risks. As if taking an aspirin is the same as puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones for a 10- to 12-year-old.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Well, and there are certain narratives that are not to be allowed or ever deemed acceptable. And the thought that we are transing children who are actually fine in their... sexed body, but just going through some sort of unrelated trauma, you know, whether they've been sexually abused or they've had a divorce in the family or they've been bullied, you're not allowed to go there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Anyway, joining me now to discuss all of this and more Adam Carolla, host of the Adam Carolla show. Are you overwhelmed with back taxes or unfiled returns? Well, get ready because since COVID relief ended, the IRS hired 20,000 new enforcement agents proposing millions of pay up notices for 2025. Oh, joy. If you're worried about IRS collection tactics, you don't have to face them alone. So
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
They consider that conversion therapy of a trans kid. So, you know, there are like these narratives that you're not allowed. And one of the narratives that's prohibited outside of the trans lane is that we have a Venezuelan gang migrant crime problem in Aurora, Colorado, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I, this was up, this came up a lot during the campaign and, uh, back and forth and back and forth between the left and the right on whether there really are gangs of Venezuelan illegals in Aurora, Colorado, taking over apartment complexes. You remember it led, uh, excuse me, to this notable exchange between Martha Raddatz and JD Vance when he went on her show and she was like, it's fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And he was like, hello, listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
She lives in a multimillion dollar estate, which we put on the screen before. Just a quick follow up. Okay, so here was Trump on NBC last week. Okay, we're still at it. The mainstream media trying to say these are lies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
That's right. Go ahead. And so here, so Trump just last week goes on Kristen Welker's Meet the Press and listen, what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Okay. We knew he was telling the truth. We knew J.D. Vance was telling the truth. And guess what? Guess what just happened? 14 detained in armed Aurora, Colorado home invasion are likely illegal Venezuelan gang members, according to local police. I mean, days after that exchange with NBC where she knew it's not like, oh, well, it happened after. No, it's been happening.

The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah, this is the exchange I had with Bill Maher when I went on his show, too. He was like, oh, like Americans don't commit crime. I'm like, we have to take them. We can't kick the Americans out. We can put them in jail. We can't kick them out. Why are we having to deal with the Venezuelan illegals committing these kinds of crimes? And listen to the one that I just gave you the headline of.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
This is at... A group of apartments, again, where we were told by the mainstream media they had not taken over. And here's the story. They kidnapped two victims, a male and a female, and assaulted them. Thirteen to fifteen gang members, mostly male, some females, entered an apartment where two people were inside.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
They took the migrant victims to another apartment at the same location where the victims were threatened and bound. Pistol whipped, beaten and stabbed. Even the local police chief saying, yeah, sounds like torture to me. And then they described this as follows. The Aurora police chief, Todd Chamberlain, on Tuesday described a bit of the crimes. Top five.

I'm just like, do you think Martha Raddatz or Kristen Welker will be playing this story and that soundbite? It's just people are being I don't know. Are they being misled? I think Democrats are being misled. I think they believe these sources still and they still are scratching their heads like I don't get it. Morning Joe told me that she was going to win. And also Joe Biden was fine.

I mean, wow. Speaking of the Duke lacrosse case, right? Right. That's right on point with what just happened this week with Crystal Mangum finally admitting she made the whole thing up. I mean, like I don't know. Do you think they were having a debate about this on the editors this week, uh, the national review podcast, which I love.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And they were asking, do you think the Duke lacrosse case would have unfolded the same way today as it did back in 2006? Would we be more circumspect about this woman's allegations in 2024, almost 25 America or Or would the media have run with it tenfold and even more egregiously than it did?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Okay, so I guess let's start with Stephanopoulos, who is humiliated and very angry, according to the reports, that this has happened to him. The New York Times goes inside the suit and talks about how executives had expected or had anticipated that there would be a blowback to settling this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
The ladies of The View are among those who are just baffled at the right-wing backlash to Caitlin Clark coming out and saying, when nominated or honored as Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year, I do want to acknowledge my white privilege. and point out that what would really be nice is for the black women on whose backs this league was built to be spotlighted and elevated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
They don't get why, especially post the Trump election, many of us saw that as an absurd statement for her to be asserting her white privilege as opposed to her athletic accomplishment. and getting this honor. They don't get it, Adam. They're not going to get it, no matter how many times Trump or a Trump accolade wins an election, national or state, et cetera.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
He can crush all of us. Oh, can I tell you something? Speaking of he, I like Caitlin, actually. And I mean him. No disrespect by using he. He knows why I do it. But there was just an unbelievable ruling out of your state. You won't be surprised to learn it's so annoying. There was a judge out there. Okay, hold on. A judge in California said, I got to back up just to explain what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
A man who had never said he was secretly a woman. He was feeling like a woman inside until he was convicted and sent to prison for a long, long time. Then suddenly he decides when he hears that they've changed the rules in California, such that men who say they're female can go into women's prisons. I'm trans. I'm trans. Well, he gets transferred to a woman's prison. And guess what he does?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
He raped somebody. He allegedly rapes a female prisoner. And now he's in the middle of a trial for that crime. He is in the middle of being tried for that crime. Well, guess what? Here's what happened. Um, This is according to the Women's Liberation Front, which is attending the trial and documenting what's happening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
The California DA for this area, Eric Dutemple, gets into court and argues this man raped this female prisoner. It's deeply wrong, blah, blah, blah. And the prisoner objects, saying he needs to refer to me as a she and her. The male prisoner who committed the rape, I'm she, her. the judge pauses the proceedings to take it under consideration. Well, guess what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yesterday, the judge made a final decision or maybe yesterday, the day before yesterday, And the decision is that the prosecutor must refer to the defendant, male rapist, as a she-her during the trial, which we believe is a first for a criminal case. This is unbelievable. The prosecutor has to stand up in front of the jury. This is him. This is our woman. This is she-her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
But they're in full revolt over there at ABC News, where they feel that the reputation has been unnecessarily sullied, that they didn't feel they should have settled with President Trump. And yet The Times pointing out that Disney had many reasons. Number one, there was a judge, Judge
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
The prosecutor has to say she raped the female inmate. What in the actual F, Adam?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
This man, this picture of this man insisting and succeeding in being called she, her in court was taken, what is it, March? April? This was last April. This is not like 10 years ago before the transition. This is a man working the system, and those idiots in California are allowing it. They couldn't give two shits about it. about the female prisoners in California. They don't care.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
It's absolutely outrageous. And by the way, that judge's order should be appealed. It's unconstitutional. You cannot force speech like this. You cannot force this compromise of the victim's rights by confusing the jury in this way. I don't think this is going to be they should appeal it. This should not be allowed. OK, a couple of things I want to get to. Have you been following the drones?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Al Tanaga, chief judge in the Southern District of Florida, who had denied Disney's motion to dismiss with some very strong language saying a reasonable jury could interpret Stephanopoulos' statements as defamatory and then added in italics, Stephanopoulos stated 10 times that a jury or juries had found plaintiff liable for rape, which was obviously not true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Well, everybody in the Northeast is talking about it because everyone's seeing them. They're everywhere. And first we were told we weren't. And then we were told, oh, it's nothing. And then we were told, oh, it's just the same amount of drones that are always out there. Like you're just, you're inventing it in your head. You've heard the story and now you're seeing what's not there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Totally untrue. That's just not true. Then yesterday, finally, the Pentagon and others came out and said, oh, it's like a collection. It's like hobbyists, commercial fixed wing aircraft and also law enforcement. A lot of law enforcement, like they just drop it in there. Like we're, yeah, we know that that's what it appears to be. It's, it could be federal law enforcement. It could be CIA.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
It could be FBI. It could be Pentagon. That's all law enforcement. And now the speculation is, of course, what are they doing up there? What law enforcement, what are law enforcement drones looking for? And here is New Jersey mayor of Bellevue, Michael Melhan with some new information. It's hot 12th.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Like, we've lost radioactive... This is like a scene out of Back to the Future, Adam. Like, remember Doc stole a whole thing of plutonium to make the DeLorean run? Where's our radioactive material? And is that what the drones are looking for? We don't know, but this is why people are freaked out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah, enough credit. Yeah. Let me show you back to back Biden on the drones on Tuesday and Trump on the drones on Monday. Watch this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And then they pointed out something we speculated about the other day, which was she had also rejected request to delay the case. And Disney was told to turn over all remaining documents related to the case. Trump's lawyer told us they'd only given like one document.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Such a difference. For those who couldn't hear Biden, what he said was nothing nefarious, apparently, but they're checking it all out. There's a lot of drones authorized up there. I think one started and they all got everybody's want to get in the deal. And then there was Trump. They know. And they should just tell people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Okay, the media story everyone is talking about has continued to evolve with reports now that George Stephanopoulos over at ABC News is defiant and humiliated after ABC agreed to pay Trump $15 million to settle his defamation lawsuit against the network over their star host's false and misleading segment with Representative Nancy Mace. You know, I went back to look at the so-called apology.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I don't think he knows. That's the question. I don't think he knows either. At this point, runny, I don't know, like very soft boiled. I mentioned at the time of the show, there's a New York Times article called A Weary Biden Heads for the Exit. They talk about how he's falling asleep. At his international events, he went to some museum. They had to bring the exhibits out to him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
As he walked away from one event, everybody there cowered in fear that he was going to tumble over. And they say it's hard to imagine that he seriously thought he could do the world's most stressful job for another four years. A lie the New York Times was peddling just months ago, Adam. But now it's really hard to imagine how he thought he could do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And so they had to produce not only all the emails with Stephanopoulos on them among his producers and so on, but he was going to have to sit for a deposition, which we knew. They were also worried that this could set an industry standard. In other words, this could go all the way up to the U.S.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Plus, a percentage of every sale goes to support charities Operation 300 and the Pipe Hitter Foundation. But here's the thing. Firecracker is a small operation, so they can only make so much at a time.

Supreme Court and New York Times versus Sullivan, which sets a very, very, very high bar for problematic speech, for finding speech problematic, could potentially be overturned. Anyway, what do you make of George Stephanopoulos' indignity at what has happened to him, Adam?

Justine joined me way back in 2021 in episode 81, which you should definitely go back and check out. We were just babies back then on this show, and she's been crushing it on social media since then, especially as of late, saying how many of us feel
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
after the seismic 2024 election, but in her case, it's especially brave because she is a Hollywood person, and you know how it is to be honest about politics out there. She's also been sounding the alarm about the dangers of AI, which we discussed yesterday with guest Tristan Harris. You should go back and listen to that if you haven't heard a very scary story about something called character AI.

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Justine, welcome back to the show. Hi, good to see you again. Oh, great to see you too. So we'll get to the AI stuff. This is really, really interesting, but how do you feel now? Here we are one month and a couple of weeks post the November 5th seismic change in America. And I don't know, I mean, you, I know you don't say who you vote for, but how are you feeling about the future?

How did we get sucked into it so fully?

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Let me ask you this, because I look back at the beginning of the Me Too movement, and in the beginning, I think there were some noble... moments. You know, I am thrilled that Harvey Weinstein's no longer in power, but Les Moonves is no longer in power. You know, some real villains, at least with respect to the way they treated women went down. And I loved that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I think that's worth celebrating because we had been living in an era in which they had total control and women really did kind of have to go along to get along or just leave the industry, you know? Yeah. And then I really think like the pivotal moment was Kavanaugh, where they tried to Kavanaugh, you know, it's a verb now to be Kavanaughed, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Where like, he's an alleged gang rapist and he's been on the federal bench for all these years. We never knew. And you know, who's pushing those claims? Oh, it's Michael Avenatti who would wind up in prison himself, right? For defrauding his own clients and being a professional liar and thief. So, So that was pivotal. But you're right, because there was a jump the shark movement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And I remember being on the set at NBC where I talked to a lot of these women. And there was one young woman who sat there and her complaint was that her boss was complimenting how nice she looked in her dress. And I remember saying to her, come on. Like what? And she was very defensive of how, no, like it's inappropriate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I, I just don't know how, like in the same way, like black lives matter, you know? Yes. Are there some incidents where we have some bad cops who do some very bad things? Of course. So then this momentum starts, but we just overcorrect everything to the point of completely bastardizing the movements.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And there's a large segment of the population that when the movement breaks, it reaches the point of absurdity because it's been so exploited. They cannot get off the train. They just, they cannot admit that something that once may have had a noble goal or, you

Admirable is no longer characterized with valor of any kind, is no longer about standing up for anybody who's downtrodden, but really more about being a bully and being a movement that gets used for someone's ulterior motives.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
It's going to take a while. That is such an interesting and apt point. I hadn't even considered that this weird cult status of this accused shooter, Luigi Mangione, who very much appears to have killed Brian Thompson, a UnitedHealthcare CEO, and is accused of such, that it's related to this cult. Well, the reaction, right? Yeah, they're looking for a new cause.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Let me just give you another number and then I'll give it back to you. We talked yesterday about a poll that showed 40, 41 percent of 18 to 29 year olds, 41 percent approve abortion. of what Luigi did, allegedly, this murder, approve. Only 40% of that cohort says they disapprove. So basically tied.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
But the fact that it's tied on approve, disapprove, this murder of just his only sin was being the CEO of UnitedHealthcare is astonishing. And then here's more. This is Poll Tracker pointing out today, favorability of Luigi by age 18 to 29, favorable opinion of him. 39% of that cohort has a favorable opinion. 30% unfavorable. 30 to 44-year-olds, unfavorable, 29, favorable, 28.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
So it's basically tied. for 30 to 44-year-olds, whether they approve of this guy. And then as you get older, it goes down. Unfavorable within the 45 to 64, us Gen Xers, 49% unfavorable. Favorable 14, 65 and up. Unfavorable 63, favorable 5. But unbelievable, Justine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Mm-hmm. I definitely think it relates to like, we're kind of talking about the rise of wokeism too, the explosion of wokeism. And I think they're directly related to the loss of a national identity, a patriotic thread that binds us together. You know, when we grew up, that was instilled in the classroom. You'd stand up every morning and say the pledge.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
You know, I mean, we used to sing my country tis of thee in my class in the mornings. It was, and that's gone. And so is religion in the public square. which was absolutely one of the things that we saw the country founded on. And it's been erased and erased and erased and replaced with active school shooter drills. And there's a, there's a search for meaning here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
They say in the New York Post, in an exclusive, George is defiant. One source tells, well, what does that mean? Defiant in what way? Like you had to issue the words of regret. Your company had to pay 15 million. You're no longer in first place. I believe it's related to that debacle of a debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And also doing, I think, also raunchier. Like, you know, it used to be the kids were stealing the Playboys out of their dad's, you know, trunk at the foot of the bed. And now it's like graphic triple X porn available, you know, at the click of a button on the devices. And it's ubiquitous. I mean, I just had a guy on the show last week who I love named Dr. Leonard Sachs. He's a parenting expert.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
He's MD, PhD, went to MIT. only takes into account longitudinal focus group studies in giving his feedback. So he's not like a feelings type guy. He looks at actual data and studies of large cohorts of children to figure out what's what. And he was saying parents need to remain the primary influence in their children's life in 2024 America through age 18, 18. I said, what are you talking about?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
In the 70s, we had no parents. There were no parents anywhere. And we turned out fine. You could argue we turned out better than the current generations are looking to turn out based on some of the things you discussed. And he said it was different then because the culture would step in to fill some of the void.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And the culture was family ties, shows with a message, shows with two parents, shows like Little House on the Prairie, shows like the Waltons. Music had a more positive message back then. You didn't turn it on and hear, as he always points out, the wet-ass P-word song. It was just very different.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah, it's disgusting. But I mean, you lived it. You were and remain. This is why how we all came to know and love you, a cultural icon, because of you. You were part of that messaging. And somehow we lost it. I do think the Internet was a big part in destroying it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
There's been a revulsion after, you know, that night there was one and now there's been a mass exodus in their audience. And they want us to see what he's defiant. How? I mean, the latest news was he deactivated his X account. It doesn't really doesn't sound defiant, Adam. It sounds like a coward.

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I'm thinking about Omarosa right now on The Apprentice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Just like Puck, she kept getting brought back for the MVP edition and then, you know, the all-star edition because, and I'm one of the people who loved to watch her bad behavior on that show. It was highly entertaining, but I maybe...
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
it has a different effect on a strong personality watching it for mild entertainment in the same way the Real Housewives does versus someone who's impressionable and looking to make a name for themselves or doesn't have that strong sort of sense of self, the strong id, and is looking to fill it up with something, that void.

congressional Kardashian. That's what she seems like to me. She just wants to get famous and build her socials while she's in there. And then I guess parlay that into some sort of whatever pot. I don't know what her long-term plan is. I don't really care. Um, but I do think I thought about Trump a lot. He spent his life in the, in the public eye. He definitely attention is his oxygen. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
But the thing about Trump that's been interesting is, yes, he was more crude. One of the reasons why he got such a negative reaction when he first burst out of the political scene in 15, 16 was, yes, he was saying things that the Republican Party considered anathema. You know, I mean, tariffs, that wasn't their thing, not being, you know, provably pro-life things. That was a problem for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
There are a lot of others more isolationist than the Republican Party, which was much more neoconny for many, many years. But really what was driving Republicans and Americans nuts about Trump in the beginning, many of them was he was crude. To your point, he did not sound like like Ronald Reagan, you know, the great orator, the great communicator when he was on camera.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
There are lots of reports of how Reagan spoke off camera that are pretty controversial. But on camera, on the national stage, Trump sounded very crude many times. And so it was jarring. But then he helped expose some of these other politicians and what they've been doing behind the scenes. Right. That is awful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
You know, you think about just look at Joe Biden, how he's misused the Justice Department against his political opponent. I mean, he's also crude on camera, too, but not not this particular way. So my point is simply Trump was just the first one to sort of wear it on his sleeve, but behind the scenes behaved pretty well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Whereas so many of these other politicians knew exactly how to play it in front of the camera, but behind the scenes were complete and total douchebags.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Well, a hefty dose of humility is definitely in order for most people. And believing in a higher power is a good reminder of the need to stay humble and how we are. We are humble human beings. We don't have all the answers. That doesn't mean Bob doesn't. All right, stand by. More with Justine right after this.

That's exactly right. The defiant is I'm out of here. I refuse to participate in your conciliatory statement. I did nothing wrong and I'm not going to let my gazillion dollar paycheck force me into bending the knee here because I'm going to die on principle. No, that's defiant. This is not defiant.

Let's just spend a minute on your critiques of these videos because it was such a clever way, I thought, to handle the insanity that broke out when Trump won. You approached it very forensically as a filmmaker and just kind of had some issues with the direction and the editorial choices by some of these people having the meltdowns.

So for the listening audience, that woman literally has like a center part and a long head of hair on one side and a shaved head on the other side. Go ahead, Justine, your thoughts on her approach to her messaging.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
You're right, this piece introduces many questions. As part of the I'm shaving my head because I don't like the election outcome movement, this character has gone only halfway, yet no reason is given. The viewer is left wondering, is this a new movement? Does this represent those who are ambivalent about the election outcome?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Or is the hairstyle of those who sympathize with both sides or someone who changed their mind midway? The setting is refreshingly not in a car, and yet we wonder why or what is beyond the fence. There's a fence behind her. What is it blocking? Is it blocking an illegally narrow walkway between two houses, something else?

Deleting your ex account because you you're tired of the abuse you're getting from people who know you lied that he was not found liable by a jury for rape. Why is it so hard for him just to admit that?

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
The bright open space above the actress's head also causes the audience to wonder, is this an escape hatch for the main character, for us? The camera is appropriately elevated, but it's unnecessarily unsteady. Tripods can be delivered to you the next day through Amazon. The editing is unfortunate because this is a short piece. All the dialogue can be captured at once.

Another take should have been done. Fiend, end meaning. That is...

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
I like the ones where you call people out for not producing real tears. It's like as an actual actress, come on. You know, like you're kind of boning it in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
But what's so clever about it is, I mean, that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to laugh at fools who behave so foolishly and they're meant to anger you. They're meaning to upset you, to motivate you to cry. And it's the appropriate response to look at a lunatic like that and just laugh like, okay, good luck in your influencer career. I've got doubts about how far it's going. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
did you get any blowback on that? Like, are you, I know you're, you know, you're towing the line politically and you're not a political person, which I believe, but do you get blowback just, you know, just by saying, by not saying you're for Kamala, you can get blowback in Hollywood.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
That's how we referred to it the other day. I think that was erroneous. It wasn't really an apology. It was we regret the statements. George Stephanopoulos regrets the statements. Well, that's not exactly an apology, is it? He was forced to say that by his network, and now he's reportedly humiliated, as I say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah, totally agree.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
Yeah. I mean, it really is puritanical and, um, I do agree. I think it's over one final thing I'll say we have to wrap, but, um, You have done a very good job of keeping politics out of your family. Your brother's very famous too, Jason Bateman. By the way, I saw Carry On this past weekend. It was excellent. Very good film. He plays a villain. It's number one on Netflix right now.

I know, exactly. Too often it's done, I think, to people, at least on my side of the aisle and not by people on my side of the aisle, but they can be guilty of it as well. Justine, it's such a pleasure to talk to you again. Thank you so much for being here.

All right, I got a story for you. Speaking of the Supreme Court, as I mentioned, there was some fear that if this went up to the Supreme Court, we might have enough justices to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan, which, for the record, I do not want. It sets a nice high bar that makes it very, very hard to sue

for defamation if you're a public figure and even as a public figure, I'm fine with that because I'm also a member of the media and I'm an American first. And in America, what distinguishes us from virtually all of the other first world countries, nevermind third, is you can say what you want here. With very, very few limits, you can say what you want.

It takes a lot to get a judge issuing an opinion like this against you and having to pay $15 million. It takes 10 times of saying a jury found him civilly liable for rape when we put the screen up on the verdict form up on the screen the other day. Very clearly, it says, is he guilty? Did he commit rape on the civil? And it says no, no. Well, did he commit sexual assault? Yes. You can't.

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
As a news anchor, language matters, especially around legal stuff like that. He's had it 10 times. That's why the judge is so mad at him. Anyway, speaking of the Supreme Court, I've got a story for you, okay? A year or so ago, we're always railing on Broadway here. I'm sure you do the same because if you go to Broadway. It used to be a really fun experience.

You say you take your kids, you see a musical, you know, like Old Man River. You have a good time. Now you go and it's a woke explosion. Doug and I went to see Macbeth with Daniel. What's his name? That James Bond guy, Craig. And it was supposed to be 1400 Scotland. It was a majority minority cast. Okay, I don't think so, but okay. One of the lead players was in a wheelchair, which, okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
The king's son was played by a woman who had a blue mohawk. They had gotten rid of all costumes. I guess there's like a budget problem. So the lead character, I think it was the guy in the wheelchair, had a Mickey Mouse shirt on, which is like, I'm having difficulty suspending my disbelief here, people. Okay, so that's one. But then my daughter, then 12, went with some friends to a different play.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
And this play, trust me, I'll round it back to the Supreme Court in a second. This play is showing now and it's called I, Juliet. And it was supposed to be this reimagining of if Juliet had lived. And Juliet. And if Juliet had lived, like what would her life have been? Like girl power. I thought, oh, that's fun. And here's just a clip of me reacting after my daughter got back.

Plus, there's new reporting from The New York Times that sheds light on President Biden's, quote, weary goodbye and the full extent of his infirmity, which continues to reveal itself day by day. And would you believe the team surrounding him is still alive? trying to claim that behind the scenes, he's amazing. He's like that Olympic break dancer behind the scenes. What was her name?

This is last February in show in episode 715. Watch this. This was so in your face. I mean, for the listening audience, it shows two guys kissing on stage. Obviously, one of them is this guy who goes by he, she, and they, all of them, Adam, all of them.

ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
It's just so happy that now we're celebrating queer love, which is not at all what I thought something based on Shakespeare and about Juliet's next chapter was going to be. How about the non-disclosure of any of this in the write-up about the show. Don't we parents get a right to make a call? You could be sending a much younger child than 12 there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Host "Humiliated" After Settlement, and Trump's Victory Ending the Cancel Era, with Adam Carolla and Justine Bateman | Ep. 968
My kid and I have talked about these issues many times, but many haven't. This could be their first exposure to it. It's not up to Broadway to do that. Okay, so that was the two of us talking about how that play is covered with a bunch of trans people doing kissing and whatever.

And the basically chemical pellets will take him out for a time, not take him out, take him out. Burna is a powerful alternative and a lot of gun owners love it. A lot of non-gun owners love it.

Yeah, because you won't listen because you refuse to just listen to the nominee who is trying to answer them. Just not the way you like. He actually did try to give you an answer about those drunkenness reports talking about how it was an NBC hit job against him. It was a denial, madam. You just didn't want to hear it.

And her thing about the Greenland and Panama, what she's really saying there is I object to Donald Trump. I hate Trump. I hate what he's saying. Will you do what I want instead of what Trump wants? And Pete Hexeth is not taking that bait. Oh, I know it's upsetting, isn't it, madam? You lost. You didn't get your way. And she's working things out on the bench from the seat up there.

She was just look, she wasn't effective. She was kind of whiny and nobody paid any attention to her. She scored no points whatsoever. So, OK, I guess, you know, maybe she did a little high five with her staff. I did see Elizabeth Warren when I was in the room yesterday, go over to Tim Kaine and they were saying good job to one another. The little tag team. Oh, we're the smartest. We got him. Yeah.

But let's get back to the most annoying. My list of most annoying senators at the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings yesterday. Again, most smarmy, most despicable, that's Tim Kaine. But I'm going to put Maisie Hirono in the third spot for most annoying. Since she was so pathetic, it was hard to be really annoyed as opposed to just kind of mocking her. In number two, Tammy Duckworth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Senator from Illinois who was equally disrespectful of Pete Hegseth and equally uninterested in hearing his answers and tried, she tried to like do a couple of gotchas against Pete, which we've captured a bit in this soundbite, which I'm going to talk to you about on the back end. Watch here.

But you don't remember to mention it? Okay, so it's like a little fun memory test by Tammy Duckworth. Trying to do little, like, let's play, you know, my little guessing game. I'm your high school history professor, and we're going to see how well you can do on my little pop quiz for you. Then she got into... ASEAN. Remember this? Do we have this, Deb? We had a cut yesterday, I think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Can we bring it over? Where she tried to do a little, she did like a gotcha on him about this group of South Asian countries and whether it was really a test, I guess, to understand whether he knew this group you know, this abbreviation, right? This ASEAN. I remember when I heard it, I'm like, it's pronounced Asian because I had no idea what she was talking about either. ASEAN.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And by the way, apparently that's not how you pronounce even the group that she was talking about. It is actually pronounced closer to Asian. It's this group of countries in Southeast Asia that very like together they are individually. They don't amount to much economically or otherwise, but together they're like about the size of the UK and they have more bargaining power.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So sometimes they try to refer to themselves as a group, but it's more of an economic deal than a political or than a military deal. So, you know, amazingly, Pete hadn't studied up on his acronyms for every single region in the United States and I guess flunked her little test. And she and leftists on Twitter lost their minds over this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Just trying to make them look dumb. No, like literally nobody knew about this group, that that's what they go by. You want to go through the names, the individual names? Sure. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to you about the individual names and what the strategic interests of the United States are with respect to each one or the together as a group, but because he didn't know a little bit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
acronym. She tried to make him look stupid like he is a dumb ass and she failed. I mean, it's one thing if everybody in the room is like, oh my God, he doesn't know what NATO is. Holy shit. Right? I mean, that's one thing, but this where everybody's like, what's that? What did she say? I think it's pronounced ocean or Asian. You tried and you failed. So she is my number two
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
most annoying and irritating senator from yesterday. And then we get to number one, that's the sleeper candidate I was telling you about, this Slotkin. Okay, now Slotkin is, if memory serves... I did look it up and now I can't remember, but I think that she may have gone to Columbia. She's got one of these, you know, highfalutin backgrounds, uh, in education. And then she joined the CIA Columbia.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Yeah. Columbia. There you go. That explains a lot. and then she joined the CIA, and now she's a politician out of Michigan. So she starts off by trying to bond with Pete. I'm of the CIA. I guess she was fluent in Farsi and one other relevant language. I can't remember what it was. And that's why she got hired by the CIA. So in any event, It's not the same.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Back at home now here in Connecticut after attending the Pete Hegseth hearing yesterday where the nominee for defense secretary knocked it out of the park. Last night after we said goodbye to you guys after a late taping following the hearing, the most important thing in this entire process happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I respect her service, but it's really not the same as being on the front lines, being shot at, but fine. Okay. So she's kind of tries to put them, them on par with each other. Like we're both military people. So I completely get it. I get it. And I, I trust me. I believe you. I believe you that you care. I believe you that you care about the troops. Like genuinely I'm with you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And like, at first I was a little fooled by it. And then as you watched her over the course of the seven minutes, you really just kind of wanted to punch her in the face. Don't punch her in the face. That's just an urge. She brought up rage inside of one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
That's the point I'm trying to make here because she was just so nasty and passive aggressive and kept slipping in little deceptive pieces of information. We'll play you the soundbite here. Listen to the part where in particular, she tries to pretend that Trump said he was going to unleash the military on his quote, enemies within. You know we've covered that a lot on this show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
That's not what he said. He was specifically asked by Maria Bartiromo whether if there were protests around the election that got violent, what would he do? And in response to that, he said, you might have to use the military and refer to some people as being enemies from within. But the left has been...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
conflating these two terms ever since, trying to say Trump's going to unleash the US military on American citizens who do not vote for him. So she slides that in there. She tries to belittle Pete as, well, you'll listen. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, who I told you on the show had been very much on the fence about Pete, came out and formally announced her support for him. It's done. He's going to get confirmed. It's over. He's in. You can start calling him Mr. Secretary. That's that's my view. Unless something catastrophic happens between now and the time the full Senate takes its vote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
What are you scared of? Oh, because you're a big, bad CIA agent, and you're so tough. You're tougher than Pete, sure, who served his country not just at Gitmo, but in Iraq and Afghanistan. You're a scaredy cat. What are you so afraid of? What a child. What an absolute brat. You know what? She was assistant secretary, like an undersecretary for defense under, was it Obama or Biden?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And so she's bitter. She's jealous. She's never going to get this role. Sorry, sister. Somebody who's your age, who actually took even greater risks than you did, is going to be recognized now and is going to be running the agency that you were just a lower part of. I know you're going to have to suck it up. You can't blame it on sexism under Obama. You can't blame it on racism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It's just you weren't good enough. And he is. So go ahead and vote no. He's still getting in there. And you can do your little histrionics when he comes in for his updates as the secretary of defense. But he's getting through.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Because somebody who's not hysterical, someone who does care about women's issues, someone who's fought her entire career to protect women in the military, Joni Ernst is going to vote for him. So you can suck it. Madam Slotkin and enjoy what will almost undoubtedly be a short term out of Michigan because that district did. She's right. She said at the beginning, go for both Trump and for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But once they get a load of these antics, I just can't imagine Michiganders are going to stick in this woman's camp for another vote. We'll see. Could be proven wrong. Michigan's becoming more blue. We'll find out. Okay, so those are my top contenders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But overall, the women at the hearing embarrassed themselves on the Dem side yesterday, which has led to all sorts of memes showing Pete's face in the middle on X and all these nagging, you know, hens around him like, like all guys are like, my God, me when my wife, when I won't let her have the remote control or when she, all these things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
We were looking at McConnell. We were looking at Collins. We were looking at Murkowski. McConnell's, of course, an enemy of Trump and Murkowski and Collins are left wing Republicans. And then we were looking at Ernst. Well, the Republicans can afford to lose three. Not four, three. If it's three, it'll be 50-50 vote in the Senate, assuming he gets no damn votes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So here we put together our own little montage of the best hysterics from yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Okay. The richest part of that is Elizabeth Warren, who is basically accusing Pete of lying in his comments about women when he's trying to say what I was saying all these times. He said, I've never complained about women in the military. My complaint was about women in combat in certain roles where we've lowered standards.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And they opened up the cross-examination with him, Elizabeth Warren did, by referencing comments Pete made in 2013. By the way, I think it was on my show, about women in combat and talking about how we can't lower the standards in order to facilitate it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And Pete responded by saying, I'm glad you brought up my comments from 2013, pointing out that for 12 years, I've been contextualizing that, usually, by pointing out that I'm talking about standards. And she wouldn't have it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And what she was basically saying there, which she's like, I've heard of deathbed conversions, but I've never heard of a nomination conversion, is that you're a liar, Pete Hegseth. You're lying. You're just saying whatever you need to say to get a position that you want. And I will give it to her. Chief Lies-A-Lot is an expert in this particular subject matter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Remember Chief Lies-A-Lot, who tried to get ahead at Harvard and elsewhere by saying she was Indian when she's not? And then when caught, she defaulted to, well, my ma-ma and my pa-pa told me that my high cheekbones meant I'm an Indian. Okay, for the record, maybe you can see them if you're watching this on YouTube. I actually kind of have high cheekbones. I do. Yeah, it's great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I've never had anything injected in them. This is all God-given. And I don't think I'm Native American. I've never had the test. She flies a lot, but if somebody told me I were Native American because I have high cheekbones, I think I'd check it out before I started telling people at universities that I was so I could get tenure or hired or any sort of advancement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And then I'd probably be a little reluctant to start lecturing other people about honesty. Can you believe the ma-ma and the pa-pa? Okay. She's basically, she's a Cherokee. She's full Cherokee, but no. Okay. Let's move on to the media. You've got these absolutely smug, again, like Slotkin, like
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And then the vice president, as president of the Senate, would cast the deciding vote. That would be J.D. Vance, and he'd be confirmed. We're not even hearing any rumblings about McConnell and the other two now. They haven't officially said that they'll be voting for him. But Ernst was the pivotal character.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
snide, overeducated, elite libs who are just sliding in the dagger on Pete in a way that, you know, I'm just an elite know-everything. And so I can tell you he's an idiot. You know, I totally respect your service. I believe you care. But what are you so afraid of? That was Slockin. But now here's a woman named Catherine Rampell. And we looked up Slockin. She went to Columbia and Cornell.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But now here comes this woman, and I'm going to let you know who she is. Her name is Catherine Rampell. She's on one of those insufferable CNN panels with the terrible Abby Phillip, who again is like, Mild-mannered, but has never seen a Republican who's done the right thing. I just want to take control to say that Republicans are bad. They're even worse than you thought. That's Abby Phillip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So she's running the panel. Catherine Rampell comes on. And you would think that Catherine Rampell would know a thing or two about Pete and his background because I looked her up too. And guess what she has for her educational background? Well, she has a bachelor's from Princeton. Princeton. Hmm. How do we know that school in connection with this story? Oh yeah. Pete went there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And unlike Catherine Rampell, both of whose parents went to Princeton, which newsflash makes it a lot easier to get into Princeton. That wasn't the case for Pete. So she goes out on to, and by the way, her major was anthropology. Okay, I'm sure she learned a lot. That would qualify her to be opining on the sect of defense or not. But in any event, CNN thought she'd be an adequate commentator. Why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Because of her long history in military? No, she has absolutely nothing to do with the military, the Pentagon, et cetera. In fact, before she was at the Washington Post, she was at the New York Times as a theater critic. But here she is telling us why Pete was chosen for this job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
There isn't a person, including you, Susan Collins, you, Lisa Murkowski, or you, Leader McConnell, who cares more about women in the military than Joni Ernst. There is not one. Not you, Kirsten Gillibrand. None of you. So if she's on board, there is no excuse for, in particular, these Republicans, who I just listed, not to be on board. And I think they'll realize that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
In the longer clip, then Abby Phillip comes in and says, you shouldn't denigrate the service of the generals who have been at the top of the Defense Department before by saying that, Scott Jennings. Scott Jennings is like, how am I denigrating them by saying he is closer to the enlisted men than anybody who's ever held this position? But that's Abby Phillip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
There cannot be a discussion that doesn't wind in her fake fact checking with hard left spin. Signed, Abby Phillip. Um, back to this woman, Catherine Rampell. All right. So she, the theater critic would like us to know that the only reason, the reason the main qualification, those were her words for Pete to have been nominated is because he's a TV host.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So Scott Jennings says, why do you denigrate his service? Then comes Abby Phillip. She didn't do that. Okay, how is it not denigrating his tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gitmo, the vast majority of his adult life, by saying his main qualification for this job was his stint on Fox and Friends? Fuck you, Catherine Rampell, because that is denigrating his service.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
His service is the reason he got the job. I guarantee you, Trump is more familiar with Brian Kilmeade than he is with Pete Hegseth. I guarantee you he's been watching Brian Kilmeade for longer. He's probably called and texted Brian Kilmeade over the years longer and knows him a lot better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But he did not nominate Brian Kilmeade because he wasn't just looking for a Fox & Friends morning host to run the Pentagon. It's Pete's lifetime of service. while in the arms services and afterward working for veterans that got him this job. And perhaps Trump wouldn't know about him if he hadn't gotten a job on Fox. But that's what opened the door, not what got him the job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You're so disrespectful and disgusting. But that is what the elite thinks of our military and certainly of any Trump supporter. Never mind, people are going to wind up in the cabinet. It's Absolutely disgusting. And this is what Pete and Trump and Pam Bondi, who we'll get to, she's on the hot seat right now, I've got some stuff on her, are going to be facing when they take over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
That they're the chewing gum underneath the sneaker. And they're too stupid and scared to really understand how things ought to be run. Just ask Abby Phillip. She will tell you why... He doesn't belong there. And the other people do. Um, okay. Moving on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Okay. Speaking of Fox, I know when you were gearing up for this confirmation hearing of Pete, which is truly one of the most, if not the most, consequential of the Trump picks, what you were asking yourself, same as me, was what does Gretchen Carlson think? Gee, I really wonder who. But PBS decides that Gretchen Carlson's opinion would be really important to get right now. And this was her take.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I don't think he's going to get a Dem vote. I actually don't think he will. This is how it goes now. We used to get majority, even unanimous support for another party's nominees, unless there was just something so obviously beyond the pale. And now we don't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Okay. He's not been accused of sexually harassing anybody. Did that come up yesterday? No. The best they had was somebody at one of those veterans charities may have allegedly harassed somebody at a strip club trip that Pete wasn't present for. And, and I believe it was Sean Parnell who was present and came out on the record saying Pete wasn't there. It was not there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So what are you talking about, Gretchen Carlson? You can only be talking about one thing, and that is the alleged rape accusation. Did you go through the report line by line? Because you know as well as I do, you know better than anyone that I will stand up for women, even those I can't stand, if I think they've made a valid allegation. You know that better than anyone.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And I spent a day going through that woman's police report line by line. And I'm telling you, that woman's not telling the truth. That's my strong legal and journalistic opinion. And I've gone through it episodes and episodes ago in great detail to explain why. Have you? How dare you get out there and wonder why this fake, clearly fake allegation is not disqualifying for him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Get talking about it. What have you looked at? When was she drugged, Gretchen? She was fine at 1.30 in the morning. She was fine at 4 a.m., according to three eyewitnesses, two videos, and her husband on the back end. Are those not reliable for you? This is not Pete Hegseth's word. It's independent eye and videotape witnesses and her marital partner saying she was fine, not drugged.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
When did Pete date, rape, drug her, and then rape her? It is an impossibility, which is why he was not charged. So shame on you. Shame on you for using the money you managed to extract out of Fox News for this nonsense to try to push these bullshit claims because you want to see your face on television.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Now you have to have majority control in the Senate in order to get your nominees through, or at least ones who have any sort of controversy, real or manufactured. And in Pete's case, it's mostly the latter. You know, we've talked about the things in his personal life, which would come back to haunt any nominee.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And by the way, when you do a Zoom, don't go right in front of the laptop because it makes your face look huge. That's advice to Gretchen and everybody else for that matter. I just, I find that absolutely abhorrent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And just for the record, okay, just for the record, because I mentioned it, that whole Fox News thing, just as a point of clarification, when I came forward to talk about what happened between Roger and yours truly, it was not because I believed Gretchen Carlson. It was not because I believed for one minute that she had been harassed, not for one minute.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It was because I was worried others might be. because she laid the allegation that he might be this thing on the table. But I don't believe that's why Gretchen lost her job for one second, not for one second. She laid the allegation out there and finally the company was getting ready to look into it. And in the wake of that, women started speaking up about what was happening to them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So I just want to be clear that it wasn't her particular circumstances that inspired me or I think most people over there to do anything. How dare she come out and try to disparage him this way? Someone who'd been a colleague of hers for quite some time. And I guarantee you, she never saw him drunk. And if she says she did, it's not true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
All of his Fox and Friends co-hosts have said, never, never, ever. And we spent hours upon hours with him, right? I mean, all of the on the record, Character defenses of Pete have been under people's actual names, stars that you would know. All the Fox and Friends morning crew, all the scurrilous allegations have been anonymous and behind the scenes. Too much time on her. She's irrelevant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Jimmy Kimmel had his own little meltdown about the situation. Watch here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Ha ha ha. That's hilarious. So fine. I mean, I don't remember him making jokes about Kamala's boozing, which was pretty obvious both before and after she lost. Is that a funny joke? I'd love to see all the funny jokes about what her administration would look like. Is that going to be surrounded by boozers? So she looks like the sober one, Jimmy. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But let's face it, you know, the Democrats have elected a man as president who is accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women. They had no problem with it. They were about to elect a woman whose husband was accused of openly beating another woman, not to mention being a serial cheater or at least a cheater with the family nanny, whatever. Like their morals are situational.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And again, like it's just so fun to just sort of pretend that, ha ha, like he's a rapist, like some ha ha ha ha. Like it's super fun to rip on Pete Hegseth as though, yeah, we love serial harassers. That's not what's been alleged against Pete Hegseth. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You know, there was a day and age in which you'd be more careful about that thing because you would be worried about getting sued. And Trump is trying to bring that day back. And the media is having a meltdown over it. Right. They don't like it. Oh, you're going to chill free speech. Oh, I'm going to chill defamatory speech. Right. Like that's that's what I'm going to try to chill.
The Megyn Kelly Show

He's not worried. Pete's got better things to do. And yeah, he's probably he's probably not going to to sue Jimmy Kimmel. Here's another one with him where Kimmel's out there with this little bit about what Trump is allegedly saying about the L.A. firefighters. Equally untrue and just out of nowhere. Listen here. It's SOT 17. I don't want to.

My God. They're not white enough to be out there fighting our fires per Trump. What a lie. What a disgusting lie. I haven't heard Trump made any remarks about race and the firefighters. However. what the right has been objecting to in the wake of the devastation in Los Angeles is the obsessive focus by Democrats running that state, that city, and that fire department on race.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Their obsessive focus on race. They're the ones who care about the skin color of the firefighters. His team, This is not a Trump thing. People on our side of the aisle have been saying, that's ridiculous. Why are you focused on the race of the firefighters?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Why are there 10 million articles and hits and social media posts about how LA had a problem of white firefighters that they're trying to solve? Could you see that? He spins the 180. Trump and conservatives say the fire department's not white enough. What? What? That's exactly the opposite of what happened. Everybody over here said, could we just have standards that everybody passes?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Whether, by the way, it's not really a race thing. It's a, it's a male, female thing. Um, for the people on the right objecting to this, like just make sure it's like the military. Just, we have nothing against women. We have nothing against moms, by the way, but does anybody really think a nine month pregnant mother should be in combat?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You need to have your head fucking examined if you think that's a good idea. Um, It's about standards. That's it. It's the left that somehow thinks skin color should matter, whether you're fighting a fire or in the military or playing the cello.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Remember, Heather McDonald's been talking about how in like these orchestras, they always had, like from the beginning of time, they've had blind auditions in the top orchestras where you go behind a curtain, nobody can see you. They don't know if you're male. They don't know if you're female. They don't know if you're black, you're white, you're Hispanic, anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And if you rock the audition, you're in the band, the orchestra. Well, now post George Floyd, they're getting rid of the drape. They want you to see the skin color because equity or see that it's a woman because equity. It's ridiculous. It's his team doing that, not Trump. Trump is the antidote to that nonsense. So, okay. Our media today, ladies and gentlemen, you're not surprised.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So Pete's going to be confirmed and you should get used to the phrase Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. You can go cry in your soup, leftists, over how that makes you feel. But what President Trump wanted, and by the way, he won the election. was somebody who understood the warrior, who understood the fighting men and women, and that's Pete.

All right, when we come back, we're going to get into Victor Davis Hanson and what he thinks about the Hegseth hearing. And we're going to get into what they're doing to Pam Bondi this morning. Now, Pam Bondi's getting through. There's no similar doubts being expressed by any Republican about Pam Bondi as attorney general.

Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Kristi Noem was also supposed to go today, but there's been a delay for DHS. But I'll show you what they're doing to Pam Bondi. In some, they're taking all of the election denialism by Trump and putting it on her and trying to make her disavow. I mean, they're spending minute after minute on whether Trump lost the 2020 election.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Meanwhile, she is there being confirmed as AG because Trump won the 2024 election. So can we please think about the American people and what's important to them at this point? We've litigated this enough. Victor Davis Hanson is next.

Joining me now, Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of The End of Everything, How Wars Descend into Annihilation. So, Victor, great to see you. We'll get to in one second what they're doing to Pam Bondi this morning. She's crushing it. She's doing very, very well. But let me just get your take first on what they tried to do to Pete Hegseth yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Yeah, they definitely try to smear him on the woman thing. By the way, we put this together. Tim Kaine was their real attack dog on the women allegations. And, you know, Tim Kaine has found God because he was the one who was like, women, women, women, you cheated, cheated, cheated. But he was BFFs with Bill Clinton and Doug Emhoff. We put a little bit of that together in a butted soundbite.

He wanted the guy who could answer the questions that came from Senator Sheehy of Montana about how you load a weapon and what the ammo looks like and what the batteries are that you put in your night vision goggles. That's what he wanted.

Look, watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Oh, so, gee, all shocks tweeted out yesterday by Alter Frog on X. Go ahead, Victor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He did go full Tim Walz. That's exactly right. So then yesterday and today, and the audience probably knows this, but just in case, these nominations, they start in committee. So you have to go before the relevant committee to your position. Like yesterday, it was armed services. Today, Bondi's in front of judiciary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And President Trump talks about how and others have told these stories about how when he was in office the first time, he would call the generals in there and they would give him one set of advice. And then he would call the enlisted guys in there and ask for their take.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And then they will recommend your nomination out to the full Senate floor or not, but typically, yes, they will. And then the full Senate gets to vote on it. So- Blumenthal is on both of those committees because he was there yesterday with Pete. And by the way, once you hit a certain age, gentlemen, this is a pro tip for you. Do not dye your hair black anymore.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
At a minimum, do the salt and pepper situation. I got no problem with the salt and pepper. Do the salt and pepper. I get it. But do not do all pepper because it just looks dumb when we know you're in your 70s and your face looks 70s and that's fine. But stop trying to look like you're a young man of 30 on top of your head. It looks bad. Okay. Dick Blumenthal, no charge for the free advice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He reappears today and is going after Bondi on a similar theme we heard with Pete yesterday, which is Trump is lawless and will be asking everybody in the cabinet to be lawless with him. And will you be the bulwark against him? They went after Pete for that. And now here's Blumenthal going after Pam Bondi, our next potential attorney general, with the same line of questioning in SOT 37.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And this would upset some of these generals, not all of them, but some of these generals would get irritated that these lowly plebs would be listened to by the commander in chief. Well, it turns out Trump was way more interested in what those lowly enlisted guys had to say than the generals. And this pic reflects that. Pete's a major, he's not a general.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So he came up in this exchange. I think this, they were talking about him in a couple of these. All right, so first this is, there's Senator Whitehouse who tried to go after on whether it's appropriate for prosecutors to start with a name and look for a crime.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And then you, well, I'll show you Maisie Hirono who was like, she was definitely talking about Kash Patel, but watch this with Senator Whitehouse.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Victor, I'm just sorry, but isn't it right? Isn't it so great to hear a nominee who's two steps ahead of them? You know, like I see what you're trying to do and screw you because you're the ones who did this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But my point is, he wanted somebody who had actual boots on the ground, as Pete put it yesterday, dust on the boots fighting experience, where he was laying his own life on the line repeatedly. for the country. That's what Pete has done, and that is the mentality he's going to bring back into the Department of Defense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I think that's right. Be aggressive. Like, don't you don't need their votes. Like you said, I have 53 senators and you don't be aggressive and stop letting them try to control the narrative about Trump in a way that's trying to sink him before he even gets started in the eyes of the American people. He Trump or his nominees. This one was White House again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And this is clearly about Cash Patel because you'll hear Bondi reference cash in her answer. Stop 40.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So you're right, Victor. When he gets in there, oh, boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It was interesting, one of the exchanges where Kirsten Gillibrand, and don't get me wrong, she was hysterical yesterday, very strange performance. But I will tell you that I respect Kirsten Gillibrand a lot more than I do a lot of these other Dem senators. There are a few who I actually like. I like Mark Kelly, too. He gave Pete some guff yesterday, but he's a good man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Well, some of those names you just mentioned came up because Maisie Hirono, is she the dumbest in the Senate?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Yeah. I mean, I I await your nominee for a fellow contender. I think she might she might be number one. She's a Democrat from Hawaii. She started to get into with Bondi whether she's going to prosecute a bunch of different DOJ officials in there under Biden, including Jack Smith, Merrick Garland or Liz Cheney. Bondi refused to take the bait.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
saying, I'm not going to answer hypotheticals and saying, quote, no one has been prejudged and nor will anyone prejudge, which is the right answer, right? It's like, I'm not going to give them a sweeping pass if they've done something and we get in there and we find out. I mean, Liz Cheney's been accused of some serious ethical violations during the course of J6 and the committee hearing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So who knows? So that's how she answered it. And then here's Hirono on Trump's enemies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Given what we heard yesterday, you didn't meet with me, Mr. Hegseth. You didn't meet with me either or me either. And now you get this woman, you know, she refused to meet with Pam Bondi.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But Gillibrand has done a lot to help protect women in various spaces, and I respect a lot of what she's done. She's not generally this much of just an emotional mess. But she's wrong about Pete. She kept saying to him yesterday, there's absolutely no slip in the standards for women. Absolutely none. They have to meet all the same tests that the men do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You know what else? You know what else? Here's the other piece of it. You're so right. Totally agree. They're bitter about this victory and it's manifesting in their snarky, petty little questions. And in other ways, we just this week saw a couple of reports. Number one, guess who's refusing to go to the inauguration? Michelle Obama. To the snaps. Promises, promises.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Yeah, of Joy Reid, who's like, Michelle gets it. Love my girl. So Michelle Obama's not going to go. And Kamala Harris... has refused to invite the next second family, J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha, to the residence where she stays, where the vice president stays, for a tour or just for a nicety, you know, which is, I guess, traditional.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
She hasn't done it and she won't do it, notwithstanding the fact that Usha Vance, who has three very young children in the single digits, apparently reached out to say, I could use some direction on this. childproofing the residence, you know, before I get there. So I know what, what I'm going to need. And apparently they didn't get back to her. Eventually someone from the office got back to her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Someone from the office is going to let her tour, but it's not Kamala Harris. And eventually I guess Doug Emhoff spoke with Usha, but that's it. Nothing from Kamala whatsoever to JD. These are petty, bitter people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And Pete's response was to name specific groups and areas in which there were written or unwritten quotas for allowing women in. And he's looking at her and saying, Senator, in the real world, the rules are being bent to look the other way when it's a woman who fails this test or that. She can't possibly refute that. She can't possibly say that's not true, which is what she was trying to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So your, your point about projection plays perfectly well into what Jimmy Kimmel was doing last night saying Trump's upset that the firefighters out in LA aren't white enough, which is like completely backwards of what actually happened. It was the city of Los Angeles.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It was the LAFD that decided their ranks were too white and started openly on some initiative to make them less white and less straight. And now a video after video has come out of the fire chief touting how gay she is, and she's a woman. She's gay and she's a lesbian and she's a woman. Second in command, gay and a woman. Third in command, gay, a woman, and black.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And on top of that, just today, this is making its way on the internet. We went and actually found it ourselves. On the LA, is it PD or FD? It's FD, right, Captain? On side 18. Okay. talking about their pronouns in a video for the disabled, not to mention all the other stuff. Listen here, this is on there right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Okay, so it's FD. This is the group that's having all the troubles, and she needs us to know what her pronouns are. And also has to take a minute out of her briefing on this emergency situation to tell people who are blind what she's wearing and about her skin color and her like this. We're in La La Land, Victor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
She was saying there's no written standard that would give women a pass. Like women only have to score seven on the fitness test, whereas men have to score nine. Of course. I mean, does that surprise anybody? They didn't put that in writing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Mm hmm. Here's here's more. This is L.A. City public information officer spokesperson doing the same. This is up there right now talking about wants us all to know. Well, you'll hear. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It's like, you know, it's so performative, this business of like, I'm going to cater to the blind, and I'm going to make sure that they have a visual description of me in their heads before they listen to my talk. Because if you really wanted to do that, Victor, if that were really important to you, as opposed to just performative box-checking, you would do it throughout your little speech.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But does it also surprise you that when in practicality, they're under massive pressure from their bosses to allow the more women in that they do look the other way when they're a little slower on the run or they have trouble managing their a hundred pound ruck. Uh, and the other things that Pete and the guys were talking about yesterday, like let's get real.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You would say, so far the LA fires have consumed 12,500 homes in the Northern Pacific Palisades and the Southern Pacific Palisades. The Palisades is an area of Los Angeles that looks, like you say, largely built in the 1920s with Mediterranean roofs, in which the homes are typically on a half an acre lot. You couldn't get through normal conversation because there are too many references
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
that require visual knowledge. You cannot cater. Why does it matter for the blind people to have a perfect description of a Latina up there speaking? What's the information? That's what they want to know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He's saying, I don't want that anymore. And the messaging from the top is going to be very, very different. Um, I, I, was amused and also irritated looking at some of the coverage of what happened yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Here's the other thing, the hypocrisy of some of these people who are in our culture and in our lives virtually. The left, after George Floyd, what did we hear? We had whole books discussed, interviews on NPR about, it was, quote, in defense of looting, in defense of looting. You had authors writing books about it, interviews on leftist radio. You had Trevor Noah out there talking about how, well,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
That's you only don't loot if you're going to uphold the social contract. But when the police violate the social contract, then you have the right, right? Then it's fair game for all. Well. Guess who's super upset about the looting of the $10 and $20 million homes that have had to be evacuated because they're under threat of fire? That same crowd.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Julia Roberts is out there posting, F you, looters. I'm sure she's very worried that her friend's beach house is about to get burned with her beautiful Picasso that she gifted him. And she doesn't want that to, right? But Where were you when it was poor people with small ma and pa businesses getting burned who did nothing wrong in Missouri, in Wisconsin, and across the country in 2020?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Every single newspaper and podcast, et cetera, that's not independent or openly conservative, talks about the allegations against Pete as though they're real, they're true, and they've been established, whether it's the public or the drinking, the public drunkenness, Or the allegations that he allegedly raped a woman. Like they just talk about you like accused of rape and signed a settlement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
That's so interesting. That's from a war historian. Our audience should know. Rashida Jones, the president of MSNBC, just announced she was stepping down. Not sure if it's a firing or forced out, but the readings are in the toilet post-Trump's win. So she's gone. I'm not sure who's taking over, but it's going to be somebody just like her. But it's interesting, isn't it, that
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris are behaving so badly. Like, why won't Michelle Obama go to the inauguration? Right. Like, why won't she show up?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Let me ask you a question, because she also didn't go to the Carter funeral where she knew Trump. And I do wonder because she and Barack both were out there saying Trump's a racist. Barack referenced Hitler is the difference that Barack Obama didn't actually believe any of that. But Michelle Obama did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I mean, signed a settlement. That's it. He must be guilty, right? As if no public figure who's innocent and facing the threat that he will lose his job. Fox absolutely would have been in a position of having to fire him. Had this woman come forward and said, he raped me. I'm a conservative. I'm with this Republican women's group.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Like they'll go along to the extent they have to. But now that he's won, it's like, all right, that stuff I said, I didn't mean any of that nonsense. Exactly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Like, yes, yes, we did. What do you mean? We're not going to the inauguration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He's actually at this inauguration. You're going to see a line of Elon. Yes, makes sense. Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos all sitting together. And I think the other heads of social media companies are going to be there, too. Like they're all they've all banned him, said terrible things about him. Not Elon, but the others, certainly. And Trump, you know, it's like they come in and kiss the ring.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He'll let you kiss the ring. He's like, fine, buy guns.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He loves the spirit of American invention and what these guys have done. And he respects success.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And he came out here on a speaking engagement, which Fox doesn't love anyway. They don't love it when you do these things. So any excuse to make a thing out of it? And Pete, while beloved at Fox, wasn't their top, top guy. So he was expendable. I think his calculation was exactly right, that it was too risky to let this woman go out and tell the public, nevermind his bosses, that he was a rapist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And he he'll give you that do as long as you don't, you know, say incredibly nasty things about him, like somebody like Mark Cuban.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
The only thing Donald Trump will call you up to yell at you about is if you say something nasty about him. That's a personal grievance. He's not going to try to infringe on the First Amendment by saying you may not say that you may not speak to that. I really don't think that's what the left is worried about, because, again. projection. All right, stand by, Victor. I got to take a quick break.

It's delicious and it elevates everything it touches. Eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, and so much more. It's got a kick, but it's not overwhelming. The flavor enhances food without overpowering food. The best part, it comes in sleek, stainless steel grinders that are easy to take anywhere.

Unlike messy hot sauce that runs out quickly, Firecracker Farm hot salt lasts and lasts and lasts, providing hundreds of servings from one grinder, way more bang for the buck. There are plenty of blends to choose from and refills are available. For those who find it a bit too spicy, mixing it with some regular sea salt tames the heat perfectly.

Burn is a game-changing, less lethal self-defense tool. It's compact, it's powerful, and it's easy to use. It provides the confidence to act in any situation, whether you are a gun owner who would like a non-lethal option before you get to the actual firearm, or you are someone who is uncomfortable with guns and you want something to protect yourself, but something that is not lethal.

And then his defense is absolutely meritorious. However, it doesn't make him look good. The defense is it wasn't rape. It was consensual cheating on, you know, my yes, technically he was still with his second wife, but he was already with Jen at that point. So my soon to be third wife. All of that doesn't make him look good either.

We've got major breaking news at this hour. Already seeing the immense power of a second President Trump term. Multiple officials now say Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal that includes the release of dozens of hostages. And one of those officials is President Trump himself, writing on Truth Social, we have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Thank you. Wow. According to the AP, around 100 people are still being held captive inside Gaza, but Israel's military believes at least a third of them are dead. The AP reports the three-phased agreement would begin with the release of 33 Israeli women, children, and elderly, and those wounded, in exchange for... hundreds of Palestinian women and children incarcerated in Israel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
No reporting right now that we can see about, what about the American hostages? There are a handful left. We don't know, are they in the 33? We don't believe so. The earlier reporting was that we might get two in that first round, that the Americans had originally said we want them all, that they said no, and that it was dropped. So that's with the Biden team. We just don't know. We'll learn more.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
A Trump source to Fox News today said only 23 of those 33 hostages that are going to be released under this deal are alive. That's incredible. They're holding the dead bodies of the hostages. Back with me now, Victor Davis Hanson. It's kind of confusing because the Biden team has been negotiating, but so has Team Trump. He's dispatched his Middle East envoy over there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And so I don't know exactly who's negotiating with whom, but there's no question that the Trump threat that all hell is going to break loose if they are not returned by his inauguration, which is Monday. It had to have played a part here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So I'm just saying the calculation in Pete's head for why he signed that settlement makes perfect sense to any thinking person. But in the press, it's you got accused and you signed an agreement, so you're guilty. And they know that's not true. And I loved it when the one senator from Oklahoma was like, how many of you cheated on your wives?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
What else is amazing is the numbers, Victor. It's like, OK, so they're going to let out some number, ideally, you know, eventually all 88, but let's say 33 of the hostages they've got in their custody. And Israel is going to let out hundreds. And the so-called hostages that Israel has, they aren't hostages.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
They're prisoners because they were arrested with – there's a due process that they go through in Israel before they arrest somebody. All these people are people who are suspected of terrorism or caught in the act of terrorism against Israel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So, yeah, so these people all get out by the hundreds and just the proportionality is not there. But Hamas, this is what happens because Israel values life and Hamas does not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
He was clearly intimating that he had cheated on his and saying, if it weren't for my wife, I think I'd be in jail, which I'd like to know more about. But he was clearly making the point that he had a very forgiving wife and that he had sinned. And look, there are a lot of marriages where people make really stupid mistakes and the couple decides to get past it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Well, this is phase one of the ending, and the ending was a long time coming. I mean, there's a sigh of relief to some extent as it appears to be winding down. Victor, thank you. A pleasure to see you. Speak to you after the inauguration, which is coming up on Monday. Can't believe it. Okay, so we'll see you all tomorrow, and we'll have a full rundown for what else they do to Pam Bondi.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Don't miss that. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Um, that appears to be what happened with Jen and Pete, where they started in a difficult position and they had difficulties, not surprisingly at the start of their relationship. And then they got past them. They got past them. All these people are saying Pete's Christian conversion. I think he was always Christian, but he's leaned in is false meant to justify like his bad behavior, but bullshit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Like what's your evidence of that? How do you know? Why did he get the big tattoo? Yeah. The big cross on his chest, was that just in case Trump one day nominated him to something so he could tell his story of embracing his Christianity? And he could, like Superman, open up his chest and say, see, I'm a true believer. Bullshit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
If anything, that tattoo has caused him more trouble than it's helped him. So I just, what is your evidence that his leaning into Jesus is false? I don't see that. I see quite the contrary. If anything, I hear people rolling their eyes that he's become too much of a holy roller. Well, I've seen a lot of people lean into God in my life and read the Bible and have things change for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And I have zero reason to doubt that that's what happened to Pete. And I think Jen too. And I believed him when he said he wakes up in the morning and the two of them pray together. And I think he'll pray not just to do a good job as Secretary of Defense, but pray for our troops and our country and our president as soon as he is sworn in, which he will be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
But anyway, I want to go over some of the media coverage, just the dishonesty, and get back to a couple of the highlights from yesterday because the public has had some fun with some of these hysterical female Democratic senators. I'm not upset. You know, it's like, thank God we had like Joni Ernst up there who was calm, cool and collected and represented herself very well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
You know, she was a more Margaret Thatcher type. She wasn't hysterical. And she's had firsthand experience with these issues. So she had reason to be upset if she wanted to be. In any event, let's start with the most, like I did say, and I stand by that Tim Kaine was the most disgusting. He was the most despicable. Like when did you stop beating your wife? What? That's not even a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
It's not even an allegation that Pete's some wife beater. Okay, he got away with it. That's fine. I'd love to go back and see what Tim Kaine has said about, you know, Ted Kennedy, who, you know, let a woman die after he drove drunk and plunged her into Chappaquiddick, into the lake in Chappaquiddick. Did he ask him when he stopped beating the women in his life, when he stopped killing them?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Like, was he even around? Like, is he... You know, he ran for vice president on the same ticket as Hillary Clinton. He's got a long connection to these old, extremely flawed top Democrats. Love to know his thoughts on that in any event. This is sort of the second in command for worst performance yesterday. But it's tight. I don't know. Is it Duckworth? Is it Hirono?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance. And the best part, Burna can be shipped directly to your door and it's legal in all 50 states. Burna is proudly American with products hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sometimes a firearm is not the right option. What if you have terrible aim?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Or is it sleeper candidate Slotkin? Sleeper candidate Slotkin of Michigan got under my skin more than any other. And it was mostly because as I watched her, I knew she was smart enough to know better. She's smart. You could tell she's definitely smart, but so infuriating. It was like bamboo shoots under my fingernails listening. Like Hirono was kind of amusing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
Like I hate you, but you're very amusing. Duckworth was Very annoying and less amusing, like a sad little lady, but like less amusing than Hirono. And then Slotkin was probably the most pernicious because she's got some gravitas in the way she approaches her messaging. And she worked for the CIA under George W. Bush, under Barack Obama. And I'm not sure if she was still there under Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
I think she may have left and she ran for office as a Dem in Michigan in 2018. And that's what she's been doing and now ran for Senate. And she beat Republican Mike Rogers for the Senate seat. That could have been in our seat. She won it too bad because Mike Rogers would have been a far superior choice. So, all right, I guess I'll go through them in that order.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
So you can go on the same journey I did. Let's start with Maisie Hirono, who you heard Michael Knowles say yesterday, no civilized country would make this woman a Senator, but she did. And just what I wanted to do in this soundbite that we cut for you here is show you, yes, she's a moron, but listen to how uninterested she was in any answers from Pete Hexeth. It was all performative.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Three Most Annoying Senators at Hegseth Hearing, and Pam Bondi Crushes Dems Today, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 983
And Maisie, you're not a good performer, but just watch.

Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. In episode three of our special series, Megyn Kelly investigates on the disappearance of baby Lisa. Nearly 13 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri, Lisa Irwin, a 10-month-old baby girl, vanished in the middle of the night. What could have possibly happened to her? One man emerges who might have some answers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
And you're face to face. There's no glass between you.

Does he look disheveled? Is he a good looking man? What is he? How would you describe?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Samantha, you may remember, was drinking with Deborah on Deborah's front stoop the night baby Lisa went missing. Brando was investigated and ultimately ruled out. That left John Jersey Tanko, the handyman with a history of drug abuse, arson, and break-ins, who was working nearby. As we learned in our last episode, he had an ex-girlfriend who he may have believed wanted a baby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
He was cautious, I think, as he should have been. But Cindy says he was forthcoming and emotional about his troubled childhood.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
This is extraordinary. The three cell phones went missing from baby Lisa's house on the night she was taken. And now he's telling you. And there's the reason we know his name to begin with is, yes, neighbors had said he was in the area as kind of a sketchy character. But the reason we know his name is because we have a phone bill that shows one of the Irwin's three cell phones called Lisa.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Megan Wright. Yes. And so once again, it's a link potentially back to Jersey. And now he's telling you they never found the cell phones. He's telling you he found them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
So he's saying... There we are having some car trouble. Get out of the car and boom, three cell phones. And I was just guessing that these belong to Deborah and Jeremy. Does he offer any reason why he knows it's those phones?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
But keep in mind Jersey's drug use and his rap sheet. How reliable was he? Was he playing games with Cindy? Trying to get information from her to see what she and investigators knew? It's extraordinary that in his time with you, he volunteered that he spent time with these cell phones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Her name is Megan Wright. Was Tanko trying to bring Megan a baby in the hopes of getting back together? And now we turn to perhaps the most crucial clue in this case. Remember those three cell phones on the Irwin's kitchen counter taken the night that Lisa was? Two of them had restrictions for nonpayment. But right near midnight, there was an attempted phone call from the one phone that worked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
That even he seems to be suggesting are related to the case. Yeah. I think Phil Houston would say, that's a liar who doesn't know what you know about what connections he has, admitting- Just so much just to see, you know, but leaving himself escape routes. Right. So maybe he could get some more information from you or just in case you knew more than he thought you did. Right. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
That must have been chilling. I mean, was that chilling, Cindy, when he admitted that? Yes. I take it that was the most shocking revelation that he copped to finding three mysterious cell phones. Yes. Shortly after baby Lisa went missing. How close in time? It was right in that timeframe. It was right when it happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
But yet didn't want to give you the timeline on what he did the night she went missing, thinking that wasn't going to land in a good place. Because she was building trust, still hoping for a confession, and because she had also offered to represent him, Cindy maintained client-attorney confidentiality and did not bring this new information to police or to the new legal team representing Deborah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
John Passerno replaced Cindy as Joe Takapina's local counsel. According to him, those three phones have never been found.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Missy Rasmussen and Jackie Heller are Kansas City moms who are co-authoring a book about this case. You know, there's been speculation that the phones maybe were discarded by the real kidnapper and then just found by somebody who then called that number. How do you gals like that theory?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
To this day, it's an open question. Why does a one-step-above homeless guy steal a baby? It's not like there's some known black market for babies that, I mean, that would be something so sophisticated to get your foot into. He wouldn't have that, right? So it's to what end? Again, reporter Jim Spellman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Cindy Short keeps coming back to her time with Jersey. When they talked about his childhood, he told her he was put in a boy's home at age 10 and was later institutionalized to deal, he said, with his pyromania and impulse control problems.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I'm joined now by my partners in crime, if you will, longtime CIA interrogator and human lie detector, Phil Houston, and ex-MYPD and security expert, Bill Stanton. All right, guys, let's talk about Cindy Short. We were just almost there, she said. This information about a jailhouse meeting with John Tanko is incredible, no?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
It was to a cell phone that was less than a mile away, and it lasted 50 seconds. So what did the cops say to you about that piece of evidence? Lisa's father, Jeremy Irwin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Moving on to the call to Megan Wright's phone. This is critical. Phelan Bell, you watched my entire interview with Megan Wright. It went on for much longer than the excerpts that we've put in this series. She's had a hard life. She was very emotional throughout the two hours. Here she is talking about losing custody of her child.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
How do you feel about it now, looking back at the way you were taking care of him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
He was underweight? Is that what it was? He was underweight, severely.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
She was very emotional right from the start. And I was moved by it. It seemed like real emotion to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
It was not? Is that what you just said?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
At some point, Phil, she was like...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
So what does that tell you? I mean, I know the obvious, well, that she's lying, but I mean, why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I mean, and that's our best lead. Law enforcement went right to work on tracing that call. It went to a phone that belonged to Megan Wright. Yes, the same Megan Wright who had recently split up with Jersey, a.k.a. John Tanko.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
But do you, having listened to it, Phil, do you have a takeaway on whether she was the phone holder that night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
You're going like full bore against her. So under your theory is she wanted the baby. She was in on the baby plot. She gave the phone to somebody else so that it wouldn't be on her. And she intentionally went to Waffle House, Walmart, so she wouldn't be near any.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
What would a truth teller have sounded like?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Yes. All right. I'm going to admit that stood out at me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
Okay, but I'll defend her. I'm going to defend her. You're already unstable. You're on drugs. Your family doesn't want anything to do with you. You were in a domestic violence shelter, you know, from some jerk in your life. Now you're with this other jerk who you've broken up with, who's stalking you. You're you're traumatized. There was a lot that morning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
At least she found out that the FBI was calling her and she's worried. I don't know. She's worried. So could that be, you know, like I said, scared straight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
She lives in a drug house. None of these people wants to voluntarily bring law enforcement into their lives. What does she gain by telling us falsely that the FBI called her when they didn't call her? I don't see it. See, there you go. I've rehabilitated her on one of your key points, Phil.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I feel bad. I don't want Megan Wright to be completely bashed here without a defense because I thought it was very courageous for her to sit across from somebody like me who, even though I'm sympathetic to everything she's gone through, she knows I'm not an easy interviewer. She's not a dope.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
How confident are you? Because like, I'll say this. I love you, Phil. But like, are you too biased against Megan Wright and in favor of Debra?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I mean, I know you're a genius, but I still have sympathies for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show

How much contact did you have with Jersey on the day or the evening that baby Lisa went missing? Megan Wright.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024
I knew it. I said that to Cindy Short. I said Phil Houston's going to say he was admitting just enough to cover something he did, but not the whole thing. Yeah. John Jersey Tanko was questioned by the police at the time. He denies any involvement and the case remains open. Coming up in our next episode, new theories emerge about the disappearance that take the story in a completely new direction.

It's a group called Doctors for America. And here's what they're complaining about. This is a couple of web pages that they took down in the wake of Trump's anti-DEI executive orders. A web page for the Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System. I don't know what was on this page that Trump's team wrote.

found objectionable, but it was probably something to do with gender or, you know, minority, whatever, everything is seen through that lens. So Murthy's team comes in and says, "'Information from these webpages is important for understanding the mental health challenges that youth face, including bullying and other safety issues at school.'"

And then they say, as well as the health-related behaviors and exposures such as electronic vaping and cigarettes and their potential effect on mortality. You've got to be kidding me. We now need a judge saying, I guess health professionals are not going to understand the negative effects of cigarettes or vaping unless Trump puts back up this one page that also had DEI stuff on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
These doctors can't wing it. on the dangers of cigarettes and vaping. And the second page was the Environmental Justice Index. The complaint was they delivered information that delivers a single rank for each community to identify and map areas most at risk for the health impacts of environmental burden. Their left-wing Green New Deal agenda is no longer on the federal government's health pages.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And these doctors are trying to act like this is some sort of a health crisis because now, where are we going to know the worst risks are for the health impacts of the environmental burden that we've been making up for 20 years?

Plus, you know as well as I do, this is their favorite thing, is to force us to say and read their words. You will read my thoughts on the environmental catastrophe that we're facing. You will read my thoughts on DEI and gender. And it doesn't matter if I shoved them on some page that also speaks about cigarettes and vaping.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006

And maybe we won't be so quick to say things like WMD and have 51 intelligence agencies or agents, former officials cooperating with the agencies to undermine a presidential candidate.

Okay, so that leads me to, I make it back to Elon in a bit, but I've got, this is a great segue into what's happening in Worcester, Massachusetts. Now, we know Massachusetts is liberal, right? But they used to be not so far left that they wouldn't elect a Republican governor. Remember those days? Or even a Republican senator. Remember Scott Brown back in the Bush years?

Now they've just gone around the bend. And Worcester Mass voted yesterday to make their city a sanctuary city for trans people, meaning they're not going to comply with any of President Trump's mandates, EOs. I mean, good luck.

There was an ICE raid by Tom Homan in Colorado on one of those apartment complexes where Trend Agua has been hanging out. This Venezuelan disgusting gang. And he showed up and they were gone.

he got his hands, he got an access code and listened to that whole hearing. And what was a gift to us all by showing us what's happening there. These are not well people. I mean, in on this council, there's one person who's their first openly non-binary member ever elected to city council, uh, in 2022. And, um, This person has already stopped showing up at the meetings saying they're transphobic.

So there was a leak that Tom Homan and ICE were showing up. And guess what Homan told Hannity last night? They think it was the FBI. They think the FBI was the one. We need serious overhaul at these organizations. That's why people don't give two shits what Kash Patel said about the FBI needs to be made into a museum that people of the deep state.

This city council that just voted 9-2 in favor of those lunatics who paraded in front of them, they don't want to show up, this non-binary member, because they think it's a transphobic... group. They didn't like the pronouns. They said one council member called this person it several times. I mean, I, in, in that council members defense, it's very confusing.

You know me, I don't know anything about these drugs. But I did look up how much is 17 grams of marijuana. And 14 grams is a half ounce. And it looks like this.

Now, this guy was using it, he says, for medicinal purposes, but the Russians, as they have been known to do, decided to say that he was going to distribute it. He was basically there in Russia to become some sort of a drug dealer with what could turn into 28 joints. I mean, it wasn't going to be a very lengthy career.

They completely they didn't even designate him with a special sort of status that would demand that we look into what's happening to him and start bargaining for his return.

Meantime, after he was arrested in August, 2022, they negotiated for the, um, that first they designated Brittany Grimer, that Griner, that, that basketball player is illegal detained. They didn't do it for Fogel. And then they went on to negotiate for Brittany's release, but they didn't do that for this guy Fogel. A bipartisan group of U.S.

Griner was in jail for 10 months before President Biden got her out. She said, my son's been there for three years and I haven't heard from President Biden or from anyone in Washington.

Belarus now releasing one. Russia releasing Mark Fogel. American hostages being held by Hamas. Like, was it just a lack of caring? It was like this is how happening literally hasn't even been in office a month.

And I don't think these petty tactics are going to work on Donald Trump. He's overcome a lot. I'm sure he can overcome a Time magazine cover and leftist media trying to press his buttons about why we're seeing so much of Elon. Do you think Trump really wants to be the one to go in and run Doge and like be a number cruncher on what's happening at these federal agencies?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Yeah. I'm not familiar with the case to which you referred, but there's no question, despite our closeness with Israel, when the IDF behaves terribly, they should be held to account and they shouldn't be in some special category where they're incapable of being criticized. That's not what friendship is. We're talking about an American citizen. That comes first.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
What they're saying about Fogel is that We did do a prisoner swap for him. We gave up some, I don't know, alleged, I don't know, I can't remember if it was an arms dealer. It wasn't a great guy. He was in prison over here from Russia. But what is it, Deb? Sorry. Cyber crime? Oh, cyber crime. All right, so that's not great, but maybe not as bad as arms dealer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And these things are always, they always require that kind of a thing. You know, it's like, look, one and one, that's pretty good if you compare to like what's happening with Palestine and Israel right now, where they have to release like hundreds to get like two Americans out. I just feel like none of this stuff was ever held against Joe Biden. You never heard about it in the media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
This isn't the kind of thing that the media gives two shits about and that they're not gonna give Trump any credit for. And it's just my, I guess, relatively minor example of his dealmaking, which they kind of mock a lot in the press, but it really, it can be very effective.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Or do you think he might actually be delighted to be delegating some of that stuff to someone as smart as Elon and someone as proven when it comes to eliminating unnecessary fat from organizations as Elon. Really, they're very upset about Elon. The left, the politicians, very upset about Elon and what he's doing, and we'll get to all of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Totally agree. And on that score, I'm going to ask you what you think Trump's doing well and what he's doing poorly in one second. But I just want to make one other point about Mark Fogle. He was apparently very depressed. He was sentenced to 15 years in a Russian prison for this 17 grams.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And when he wasn't part of the prisoner swap that Biden was part of in August of 2024, the Daily Wire obtained the audio tape of him talking about how his sole purpose was dead. He said, my soul is dead. He said, I'm in a bottomless pit that keeps getting worse. And Michael McFaul, former Russia, Russia ambassador under Obama too, was saying he wasn't doing well. He was very depressed.

He was not handling his circumstances well. So I don't even know how close this guy was to the end of his life. Potentially he had two kids. He has a wife. He never would have seen his mom again. Had he served out this term, it's a wonderful day that he is back home. Okay. So that's that story. Let's switch gears. So
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
We talked in the first hour with Adam Carolla about how the left is very unhappy about Elon Musk, Doge and the cuts happening to government workers, you know, staff numbers and budgets. So how do you think Trump is doing and what do you make of Elon so far?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Joining me later in the program is Anna Kasparian of The Young Turks, but we start today with our pal Adam Carolla, host of The Adam Carolla Show. Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, believes that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
I think that's a fair point. And I actually think that there's not really a desire by Trump or anybody else to cut like the funding we were doing for women and their babies who are born with HIV. I actually think that just got swept up because the whole program was such a mess and had been so corrupted. It was like, no, we're stopping it. And I think that will probably come back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
not only because it's the right thing to do, but because we do worry about China stepping in and becoming like the big brother and getting more closely aligned with these countries that right now are grateful to the United States for all the help that we give to them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
It's it's just that it got so corrupted by all these other weird far left DEI things that they were like, let's just know like it's stopping right now and then we can we can start again. And I think that will start again. But let me ask you, let's talk about this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which I think most people don't even know anything about, to be honest with you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
But it was started, it's kind of an Elizabeth Warren project. It was started after the big bank meltdown in 08 to like try to make sure something like that doesn't happen again, where there's this collusion within the financial industry on mortgages or something related that winds up really screwing over the consumers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
In many instances, first with the mortgages and the collapse, and then with us having to bail out the banks, like the hope is that they'd protect something like that from happening, prevent it from happening again. But here, so on Friday, Elon Musk posted on his X page saying, CFPB, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, RIP with the tombstone emoji.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
The CFPB's ex-account has since been deleted. And Trump also announced that they are closing the offices of the CFPB for the coming week.

And Russell Vogt, director of OMB, said that we would, he ordered the staff there to cease all supervision and examination activity and cease all stakeholder engagement and said he would not take the next drawdown of funding from the Federal Reserve for this group. They say that this is why they did it.

The White House put out a statement saying, this is another one of those agencies that's just lost its way, right? Like it's not doing just the main thing that I think you and I are both happy for them to do. They say this CFPB used its slush fund collected from targeting these financial institutions to support radical advocacy groups.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
One such group is the Soros-backed Mississippi Center for Justice, which advocates for racial and economic justice, targets religious liberty, assists illegal immigrants seeking to skirt our nation's laws.

If you don't, and I- I'll tell you why. I have not looked beyond the White House's assertions that these are problems and that's what they're trying. So I'll take your word for now that you've looked into it and you don't believe they're viable, that they're true. But if that's true, then why are they doing this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
It's very interesting. That's a good alternate side of it. What did you make of Elon at the White House yesterday? Because he was up there sort of serially going through some of the things that have been said about him and then some of the things that he says he's finding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
One of the most interesting things was he was talking about how it's so hard to fire people, but how there's a maximum of 10,000 people who can be fired from the federal government in a month because they have to go through some – just antiquated exchange of forms that goes down literally into a mine, like an actual mine. Well, I'll let him explain it. Stand by. It's a top three.

So Elon goes into the Oval last night and he's standing next to Trump at the Resolute desk. And, you know, the media is like he's literally Trump is literally looking up at him. He's looking up at him just trying to diminish Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
I think that's very effective, right? It sounds crazy. And I think the average person staying at home is like drinking this in, right? Like, wow, here are pictures of the mine. This is so weird. Why are we doing this in such an antiquated way? This is not a good use of our taxpayer dollars.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Only because Trump Trump let him command the room. I mean, it was no different from when I appeared at the Trump rally in Pittsburgh. And Trump stepped away from the microphone and then said, go ahead, Megan. And he was standing off to the side. Didn't make me look like the president. It's like he I had the mic because he gave it to me and I would lose the mic if he said stop talking.

Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Same as Elon. I will say this. This is. Washington Examiner and Washington Post this morning. Washington Examiner, the mine complex is owned by Iron Mountain, which leases out caverns for storage. And we were using Manhattan mini storage all those years in New York. The government moved its old records there in 1960.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
The mine, which holds employees in the government's Office of Personnel Management, has been trying to revolutionize its process for decades without success. The government's been trying to automate the mine's work since at least 1981. At least $100 million has been spent on the effort to automate the work there, and it's not happening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
You know, Trump was sitting at the desk because he's the actual president. You know, you can't win, right? Like what's he supposed to do? Pull up a little kiddie table, like a little, one of those little fold out TV trays for Elon to sit at and give us a presser. He was trying to give us transparency, but the media has been demanding and Elon stood there for 30 minutes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Washington Post reported from inside the mine in 2014, the five-step process for a worker's retirement papers... just to be fully processed, like just to get them and process them. First step, a worker files the retirement paper and the paperwork is shipped to the facility. Once it arrives, a worker must match it up to other paper records or scan them into a digital database.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
All the paperwork must be placed into a file. Missing paperwork must be acquired from other federal agencies. That paperwork is then turned into a digital file, reviewed separately by another employee. It took at least 61 days on average then, the same amount of time it took In 1977, when I am going to guess you were not even born. This is so sad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
I mean, I think people get it's just right that the government sucks. And this is part of why Trump got elected. Right. It's like you don't expect him to do it perfectly. You don't expect it to be all T's dotted or all I's dotted and T's crossed. But you want the bull going into this China shop and saying, why the F are we using a mine that we were using in 1977? Right.

Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
He's not going to do anything right. He's not going to touch Medicare or security with reform or anything because he's a smart politician. They all know if they say anything about Medicare or Social Security, they're not going to win. So all of the efforts have been outside of those two groups, which, of course, are the main groups behind entitlement spending.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And I mean, that would really show you want to see like Trump proving he has a steely spine and he doesn't give a shit. Go do something about that over there.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It's not going to happen.

Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Why won't he do that? I mean, I know why he won't lower the retirement age for Social Security and he doesn't want to make any Medicare cuts or do anything that's going to increase costs for seniors. But why wouldn't he allow Medicare to negotiate costs?

What about that, Anna? This isn't something I spent a lot of time on, but like this sounds like something that wouldn't typically be done because most people are beholden to the drug companies who don't want this. And our KJ is not beholden to the drug companies. That's one of the great things about him. That's that's one of the things the left hates about him.

But he, you know, technically oversees Medicare now. And well, when he gets confirmed, which is going to be tomorrow. And Dr. Oz directly oversees Medicare and Medicaid. And so like me, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they actually will. touch the untouchable.

And by the way, hasn't Trump already done enough for the big pharma with the, you know, Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines and the liability shield over companies like Pfizer? Like that's he's done enough for them. He doesn't need to keep protecting them. This would be a great thing to consider. All right. Stand by. We're going to take a quick break.

Okay, I want to talk to you about a couple of things from the Super Bowl. I was at the Super Bowl, and the one disadvantage of being at the Super Bowl is you don't get to see the ads. And they're kind of fun to watch, and they're always fun to rip on, right? And I missed that experience. So slowly but surely, I am getting to them.

Here we are on Wednesday, and I still have two I haven't talked about. And I'd love to do that with you. Okay, so first of all, Jennifer Say, who used to work at Levi's and was a star gymnast when she was younger, she started this company XXXY, and she's been pressuring Nike to try to do an ad, to try to get them to do an ad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Her ad has all these little girls saying, will you stand up for me, Nike? Will you stand up for me to try to keep boys out of girls' sports? Will you stand up for me? Of course. So Nike does an ad, and it's about girls. Great. We're halfway there. And is it about keeping boys out of their sports? No. It's about how... I guess America is full of sexist pigs and girl power. Watch the ad.

I went to college from 1988 to 1992 as I'm an old lady. And these were the messages they were telling me when I was 17 through 21 about being a woman in America. Like you can be emotional. You can be ambitious. You know, you can stand out. You can win.

Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Like, hello, would you Nike, you know, 2025 called and they want an updated ad that matches the issues of the day, like what's happening in girls sports and not to be outdone. The NFL decided to drop its own ad for a reason that it remains a mystery to me. that is completely consistent with what we just saw from Nike trying to highlight what a sexist society we live in.

Now it's girls playing flag football against other girls. Let's make girls flag football a varsity sport in all 50 states. Okay, help me out here because, again, this whole thing seems to be set in the 1980s. They've got, like, the razor glasses. The guy's got a mullet. He has the collar turned up. They've got the rock band.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And they're trying to pretend that this girl, when playing against a team of the Brads, who are, of course, doofuses because the left loves to portray... Men, especially white men, but all men. It's just a bunch of like clawed doofuses. And she smokes them all, which is not how it would actually go at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
I mean, what's actually happening when girls are playing against boys is they're getting hurt. They're getting beaten. They're in danger. They're getting all their teeth knocked out. They're in the pool with the likes of Leah Thomas, and they're getting absolutely crushed by full body lengths. That's what actually happens because women are at a physical disadvantage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
But in this imaginary NFL world where Women are crushing the Brad and guys like him because girl power. And all of this is to promote girl football, which is against other girls, Anna. So help me out. What is what is the NFL saying here?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Why wouldn't the NFL, if they want to get girls playing flag football, show girls playing flag football against girls? And how fun it is and how competitive and how fierce. Why do you have to make guys into the big loser oafs who, you know, obviously men suck. They're dumb. They're Neanderthals. They're outdated. Like, why? Why would you do that?

Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
There is now a push by the Trump administration who sent a letter to the NCAA and to the body that governs high school sports saying, thanks to Trump's executive order, we can't have boys playing in girls sports on any NCAA team. But they're saying not only that, we want you to revoke the medals of the boys who did play and stole the girls' medals over the past years.

Like Leah Thomas, with whom Riley Gaines had to share her fifth place trophy, who won the 500 meter. He took gold in a women's match. And I have to say, and Riley said she's, look at this, look at the height difference and the size difference. And Riley has said she's totally in favor of this. It's not just about her.

We've been watching, you know, in Connecticut where I live, male athletes who ran as males the season before. then switch over to the female team and crush their female competitors who have not been through male puberty, who don't have testosterone in these numbers racing through their bodies. I mean, I've interviewed the girls. It's just so unfair.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And I actually do think what is fair, here's a video of one in such track meet. What is fair is to make those men give back our trophies. They stole them. They cheated their way into getting them in the first place. And what is fair when somebody cheats? They do it in baseball all the time. You can't get into the Hall of Fame.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
My team, Syracuse, where I went to school, they got stripped of a bunch of titles because they recruited people with all sorts of, I don't know, nice lures that they weren't supposed to give and they had to give up their trophies. That's what happened here. They should be forced to give back the trophies. Annika Sperian, thank you so much. It's been a pleasure. Thank you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
It was a pleasure for me, too. All right. Come back soon. I know we are back tomorrow and we're going to have the fellas from Ruthless who next week are celebrating a very special anniversary. And we'll have a preview for you on that. I actually think it's gonna be fun to talk to them about Mitch McConnell not voting for Tulsi because, you know, Holmes used to work for McConnell.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
So he doesn't hate McConnell. But of course, McConnell's changed in the Republican Party. So where do the fellas stand now? We'll talk to them tomorrow. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
The strategy by the Democrats seems obvious now. Yes, they're trying to drive a wedge between Trump and Elon because they'd love to see Elon gone. They feel very threatened by the work he's doing, you know, taking a hard look at the bureaucracy and seeing where efficiencies can be found, meaning people can be laid off or fired or we can reduce the spending, which is the last thing they want.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
This is all left wing slush funds throughout these organizations. So they're terrified. That's why they're doing this. They want Elon gone. but their main, you know, new found new Trump 2.0 form of resistance is lawfare. They've filed now over 50 lawsuits to try to stop Trump's executive orders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And it took quite a bit of browbeating to get these Republican senators in line. You know, the letters she had to write, it's just, boy, they really make you bend the knee when you're in her position. But you know what? She's in now. And that's that. You know, all we really needed was your yes vote. So thank you for doing that. And really, there should be a conversation about like.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
And what it seems to me as I, as I zoom out a little and look at these and you tell me what your impression is, is that We had a Congress that allocated money for various organizations. And instead of just taking that money and training teachers how to teach or helping them improve math scores, they went completely rogue and radical left-wing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
With all these organizations, yes, from the Department of Education to this USAID and beyond. Now we're starting to see some other organizations and started funding like slush funding DEI initiatives across the country, across the globe, shoving gender ideology down our throats at every turn. And Trump goes in there and says, stop that. I want you to return to core missions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Take all that nonsense out of there. I'm not spending anybody's money on that stuff. I want it taken down and I want the people who are doing it fired. And they file 50 lawsuits to say, you have to spend the money the way that we told you to without any acknowledgement that they are not on mission and haven't been for some time.

The law fair is working in some instances, at least at the first go around with the federal district court judges, but it's getting out of hand. Yesterday we saw, uh, a judge, it was a George W. Bush appointee, a federal district judge, insist that the federal government restore the DEI pages that had been taken down at CDC and NIH and another related agency.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Because Vivek Murthy, who was Obama's Surgeon General, was his group filed a lawsuit saying, you know, doctors really rely on those pages that they didn't take down the CDC website. They didn't take down NIH. They took down select pages pursuant to Trump's anti-DEI order. Like, I don't want the gender ideology crap on government websites.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
It's non-factual, it's non-scientific, and it's not helpful. And so they actually filed a lawsuit over these websites. And this judge sided with the plaintiffs saying, you've got to put those websites back to the way they used to be. Now we have federal district court judges policing individual web pages, Adam. I'm sorry, but we've lost the plot. We should not be in a position where the
The Megyn Kelly Show
Unhinged Left Screams About Elon and Trump, and Trump Gets Detained American Released, with Adam Carolla and Ana Kasparian | Ep. 1006
Exactly what extractions are appropriate to demand by these senators of cabinet nominees? I mean, this person, she's working for Trump, right? She's got oversight by the Congress, but she's not working for you. She wasn't hired by you directly, Senator. I've got a couple in mind and I will do them the favor of not mentioning them here. But I think there will be a conversation to come on this.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
There's a New York Post report out today that, no, two days ago it hit, talking about how Bobby Kennedy's affecting this race between Harris and Trump. And it's very telling. They're looking at some recent polling and saying that, take Arizona. Trump leads Kamala Harris by one point in Arizona and Bobby Kennedy there taking 5%.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
So, I mean, important enough that he could definitely sway that race in Michigan. Yes. Showing Trump. It's basically tied 45 to 44. Kennedy drawing 4 percent of the vote. Nevada, another nail biter, saying Trump leads Harris. They are 43 to 42. 6% behind Bobby Kennedy. North Carolina, 47 to 44 in Trump's favor, 2% backing RFKJ. So it is really interesting how tight it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Pennsylvania, Harris leads Trump by two points. And Wisconsin, she leads him by four points. Kennedy's at 4% and 3% respectively. So the This guy, he may not have the votes that he had maybe six months ago when he was polling more like 11%, but he truly could swing this election if the people getting ready to vote for him did what he asked them to do and voted for, let's say in this case, Trump.

I share your concerns about what's happening with the environment and the toxins and the food supply and all that. And I, it's funny, Tucker, you'll laugh because I, so I recently decided that I was going to stop getting pedicure. Like I get a pedicure, but I don't get toe polish. I don't get toenail polish. And I'm like that, you know, I don't want the top. Would you look at me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Would you look at the number of toxins I have on me right now in my hair? Not to mention the Botox. What a charlatan I am. But, you know, it's like around the edges, Tucker, we do what we can to try to minimize the toxins coming in. That's totally right. That is where I draw the line.

This is probably something they won't be expecting. Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this episode. You and I are very similar. I feel like you're kind of a four and I'm a six on the ideological scale. We have a lot of overlap, but you're definitely still going to vote Democrat and I'm definitely going to vote Republican.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
This is one of his favorites. I mean, for sure, this is, he's come on the show many times and I've argued with him about why he doesn't pick up my favorite culture issues and he tells me what his favorite issues are. And that's important too. You know what I mean? What he's pushing, he's right. Nobody else is really talking about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And so it would be fascinating to see him come into a Trump administration with his unique views and experience. I mean, he made his bones as an environmental lawyer Yes. And he's a true expert on that stuff. And I think Trump would listen to him on the things that he really is an expert on. And maybe we would have a different approach on some of this stuff. So we'll know soon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I think it would be a great move for him. Well, we got 24 hours or so to figure it out. Okay. I got to talk to you. So much has happened since you last came on. J.D. Vance became Trump's running mate. I also heard you had something to do with that. That is brilliant. And I totally support that move.

I know some Republicans are still they have their noses in a joint, but hopefully they're seeing what a great pick he was now when he's so deftly handling the media. He's everywhere. Last night he was in five different You know, and meanwhile, Tim Walz will only go in front of the golden microphone with her, as you say, not even real people.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
So what do you make, though, of the media pile on against J.D. started with an interview he gave to you a couple of years ago or with a childish cat lady? Right. Comment. Nobody wanted to report the context, you know, a snarky remark. But, you know, we went back and played the whole thing. context of the original remarks that he'd made, what you guys were discussing. Nobody does that though.

So now they've demonized this guy as a woman hater, even though all his major role models and mentors and the people, the loving people in his life have been women. And as just a, he hates IVF, even though he's on record as saying he's pro IVF, he's against the, like all the stuff that they've been doing to him has been particularly nasty. So what do you think of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show

But there's enough commonality to make us shake our heads yes when the other one speaks a lot.

I am going to vote for Trump. Yeah.

I got it. When you say creepy, I just there's something wrong with that guy.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And so there's another thing. There's another thing about Tim Walz that hasn't gotten as much airtime. And it's true. He actually did remove they were coming up with the Minnesota human rights law and revising it, renewing it. You know, this class is protected. You can't discriminate against these people and you can't discriminate against gays and lesbians. And the law had said, to be clear,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
pedophiles get no protection under this law. Pedophiles do not fall under the definition of a protected class. And they removed that language. They removed that language under Tim Walz. that the pedophiles, so it made it more ambiguous. Now, some of the LGBTQ community said, well, we removed that because we don't want to be associated with it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
We don't need to say that right after you're talking about gay people. We shouldn't even be in the same breath as pedophiles, but it did make it more ambiguous. And some objected saying, why would we take this out and make it less clear that we're not trying to protect pedophiles? In any event, it remained out and Tim Wall signed that bill. I'm not saying he's a pedophile.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024

And before we officially say goodbye forever to 2024, we do want to look back at some of the memorable moments that we had on the show together with you guys this year with some familiar friends and those who made their first appearance on the program. There was a feisty and fun and interesting interview with Bill Maher back in May.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
So this is the difference between you and virtually everybody. I mean, I remember talking to some Navy SEALs about this and that's how they get through training. Like, I don't feel the pain. I don't feel the lactic acid. I tried that at my very next workout and it was not true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
This brings me to something I've always wanted to ask you. So my audience knows I used to be on the wrong side of this whole issue. You know, and I played clips of myself at NBC feeding into all of this. You know, I was still in the mindset of be compassionate. It's a very small group. They're very badly bullied and using the pronouns, even when I launched the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Not so much on the other side, but on the pronouns I was still using.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That was a big decision for me to turn on the pronouns naturally. And, you know, like you, there have been so many women who have inspired me. You're one of them. But Kelly J. Keene, Helen Joyce, Abigail Schreier's book, there's just been all these other great women who were to this party nice and early and have been waving the flag saying, hold on, hold on, hold on. J.K.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Rowling, how brave she's been, all of it. But I always wanted to ask you about when you were swimming and Leah Thomas, you found out you're going to have to swim against him. So how did your mind work at the time to say, I'm going to do it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I'm not going to defend the election denialism. I'm not one of those people who believes that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Yeah, but just not compared to the other men.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
How about my daughter not going into a locker room and seeing a man's penis?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And I mean, how about young men on college campuses getting due process when they get accused falsely of rape?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I have chills listening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And that it was very hard for you to say anything about it as the competitors. They knew what would happen to you. Of course.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
But they were more worried about their own heights.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
But very few have said it, right? Paula Scanlon spoke out. You, Penn Swimmer, you spoke out. But almost no one else that I know of.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
They tried it. It failed.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Is that how you started just reading the Bible?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Some shocking stuff in that Old Testament. Yeah. If you go that way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Wow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You're like, that's not on the drop down menu of message manager. I know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
They hadn't coordinated? Those two guys? No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
A lot of people said it. A lot of people say, but look, I agree with you that the majority of the Republican Party doesn't believe that. But I do think there's a difference between it was stolen, you know, the nonsense with Dominion voting machines and all that versus it wasn't fair. What wasn't fair? Oh my, don't get me started. What wasn't fair?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Hello, we're Catholic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I know what you're saying. My audience knows I've been having a not unrelated struggle on that exact score.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Yeah, yeah. I'm Catholic, lifelong Catholic, and I started the process of having my first marriage annulled. And instead of like bringing me closer to God or setting me in a path that I thought would land well, it really has kind of alienated me. And it's caused a bit of a crisis of faith, you know, like who are these middlemen I have to go through in order to have a clean relationship with God?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That doesn't make any sense to me. I think God loves me and God sees me in a loving marriage with three wonderful kids who have two great parents who are in love and he's thrilled and he will accept me into his kingdom when it's all said and done. And if he doesn't, it's certainly not going to be because I didn't get a paper.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I got a paper divorce from Dan, but I didn't get an annulment from a priest, you know, and then Mary dug in a Catholic church. It doesn't make any sense to me. So that's sort of where I am right now. I'm still wrestling with it. I got tons of great feedback.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
How about the suppression of the Hunter Biden left-back story? Just for one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
By the way, thank you to my audience because so many thoughtful emails on it, you know, from Catholic listeners, but also just Christian listeners who don't believe in that, you know, middleman thing either. I haven't resolved it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Yep.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And so... So how do you feel now? Do you feel a difference physically, emotionally now versus during the Chinese trial balloon period, which was dark?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
There are polls that show some 10 to 12 percent of the electorate says they would have changed their mind had they seen it, had they known about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Amen. God bless you. Thank you so much. I saw you on The View yesterday where they were trying to zero in on you and Biden and this presidential race and those ladies really, really, really wanted you to say that you endorse him. You didn't want to do it, but eventually you admitted, okay, it's kind of a binary choice here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I mean, it's basically a binary choice and that you're not going to vote for Trump. So why wouldn't you just be explicit about it? I wondered about the hesitation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Nobody. You're talking about yourself. I'm telling you, there are data to show people did care. They said they would change their vote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Yes, they were really pressing you. They were like, do Biden a solid. They wanted you to go to your audience and say, vote for Biden. And it was very strange. Like, you know, you've got some magic wand that's going to turn this thing if you just say, I endorse. Can I ask you about third parties? Would you consider RFKJ?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Do you think that there is more pressure on you to, quote, endorse because you're black and there's a presumption that you have some influence with black voters who not by huge margins, but by some margins are migrating from the Democrat to the Republican Party or at least from Biden to Trump?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I mean, it wasn't about Hunter Biden's man parts. It was about the scandal of his corruption and his dad's corruption. Bill, I used to think that that Hunter Biden was a hot mess and Joe Biden was embarrassed by him, but had to deal. Now I really think he was doing Joe Biden's bidding. Joe Biden is the bad guy who sent his drug-addled son out there to collect money. That's what the laptop shows.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
In the book, you write about your background. You grew up pretty poor in a single wide trailer and spending most of your time running around through the woods and had a very hardworking mom, had a more complicated relationship with your dad. Did you ever think that that kid who was learning how to catch a rattlesnake in his spare time would...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
be in the position now where it's like your magic words of I endorse this candidate would be so important, right, to political TV shows and pundits.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You know, I think I read the book and I really enjoyed it. And I think what makes you special is your extreme ability to be introspective, reflective about your life, to keep challenging yourself, to keep changing, keep growing. And you're very, very honest about
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
what you perceive as your own shortcomings, whether it was early on in your marriage, something you addressed, whether it was the life lessons you took from your dad and your uncle and you're sort of growing up, which you realized as an adult, weren't so great, or even right down to, we don't have to get into it, but like the size of certain man parts that you just like Howard Stern style, put it out there, Charlemagne.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I have to say you're a brave man.

Tucker Carlson's newsmaking interview during the Democratic National Convention on the eve of RFK Jr. 's endorsement of Donald Trump. And also my first sit down ever. with Riley Gaines. I also want to bring you one of the interviews I thought about for weeks and months after it happened with Sean Ryan. Oh, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Love this guy. What a year he's had too.

All right, I've got to read you this because my fourth grade boy was at an end of year ceremony just two days ago. And my husband and I went and their fourth grade teacher read to this class of boys the following poem, which speaks exactly to what you're saying. I cried. I'm not going to lie. You're a dad. You can be able to relate. But it's called That Guy in the Glass. It's by Dale Wimbrow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And it goes as follows. When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day, then go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that guy has to say. For it isn't your mother, brother or friends whose judgment you must pass. The person whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back at the glass.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You can go down the pathway of years receiving pats on the back as you pass, but your final reward will be heartache and tears if you cheated that guy in the glass. That's exactly what you're saying. That's a theme of your book in some ways.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
See, I don't disagree with you on that. You're not going to get me to say it was a great thing the way Trump behaved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Man in the mirror. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
It's it's something you've worked at. You've cultivated. I you talk in the book about the therapy you've been through all the way down to I don't know if this didn't exactly come from your therapist, but you have a spiritual guru in your life as well. And the tree hugging, you're a tree hugger, but not exactly in the Green New Deal sense in a different kind of way. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I disagree. I know. That's projection by you because I look at Joe Biden.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I know you say in the book, if you, if you're feeling self-conscious about hugging a tree of actually hugging a tree, putting your face up against the tree, start small, maybe just sit with your back up against the tree. So people don't think you're crazy, but you could kind of graduate to a full five minute hug of a tree and it actually could be transformative.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That's such a beautiful way of dealing with anxiety, which you admit you have dealt with for years versus just taking a pill, which is what the medical community will push on you these days.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
So how did you make it so big in radio and now podcasting too with the kind of anxiety that you suffer from? And as you were growing up, you talk about how it was very much social anxiety. How did you get over that? How do you deal with that to this day?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Less than.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You're misstating my argument. You're misstating my argument. Hunter Biden just now on the laptop was brought up as evidence of how the election was not fair. He's not a reason necessarily to not vote for Joe Biden. The reason not to vote for Joe Biden is his policies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I am too, but it's usually that guy over there is going to come over here and talk to me. It's not about the ceiling fans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I never linked social anxiety to the hatred of small talk. I have to say I too hate small talk and have a fair amount of social anxiety, not anxiety in the regular lane, but social anxiety. And I had never linked the two. This is actually an insightful thought that one is causing the other. I'm Megyn Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show on Sirius XM.

Charlie, congratulations.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Oh, it's amazing. And you are so generous and kind to be giving me any credit when you truly deserve actual credit for getting Donald Trump elected. I mean, truly, you're one of a handful of five that really made the difference. And we need look no further than the youth vote. That wasn't the... exclusive reign of your influence. But man, when have young people come out for the Republican?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I mean, like never. And especially in today's day and age where he's been totally demonized all over TikTok and the sources of information that they use. But you reached beyond I mean, obviously, there's not that many people voting in this election. I mean, the number of views of your videos going out onto these college campuses, you know, challenging them, saying, go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Like, why are you voting for her? Let's walk through it. That would go viral every time. We have to look at some of them because, like I said, it's just so fun right now. Here's one woman who was very much determined to believe that Donald Trump is a racist. And here's Charlie dismantling her. Sought to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Wow. Truer words were never spoken. How many exchanges do you think you had like that on college campuses?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I just, I mean, you keep saying sort of I'm nuts because I don't see the difference between the elephant and the mouse. And I'm telling you, I identify them differently than you do. Hillary Clinton, of course, is the original election denier. I'm sure you voted for her in 16. Well, she's not an election denier. She absolutely was the OG election denier.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
It's incredible. I mean, no one's really paid that much attention to them before. It's one of those things where Republicans have always assumed they're not gettable. And then along comes Charlie Kirk. I mean, I don't mean to go totally biblical on you, but I really feel like this is destiny. And I've been thinking about you this past week so much because I know we talked about this in 2016.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You were like Don Jr. 's assistant. You were a help. helping him with bags.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
It's incredible. Okay, so this is what made me think of you, among other things, the obvious. I know you saw this clip. Her disgusting, gross elitism and her complete out-of-touch nature with respect to the rest of the world. Sonny Hostin goes on The View.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
and decides now would be a great time to dump all over the so-called uneducated, not non-college educated, the uneducated, which is what you are in Sonny Hostin's view, including you, Charlie Kirk, because he's conflating, right? People who didn't go to college with people who are uneducated. We've got to look at the clip and then I need your reaction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And then spent the next four years saying he was illegitimate. He was an illegitimate president. She...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
OK, it's amazing. She's specifically there referring to the women. But of course, it's the non-college educated men as well who voted for Donald Trump and the nerve of this woman to whom the country has given so much to try to dump on people who didn't go to college. Look at you. Look at your achievements. How do you like the so-called uneducated now, Sonny?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Yes, she did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
By the way, Sonny Hostin, I think, went to Notre Dame. Her son's at Harvard. Her daughter's at Cornell. She's married to the Ivy League. And that's why she looks down on everyone else as a bunch of stupid losers who didn't vote the right way because they're not as smart as she is. I spent many years across from Sonny Hostin on the set of Bill O'Reilly. She is not as smart as she thinks she is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
In fact, I defy you to show me one debate we ever had that she won. There isn't one. So I'm not done with the Charlie Kirk homage. Oh boy. We put together a little bit of you on your college tour, just so the audience can see some of the hard work you were doing. Let's play Sot One.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
All right, and two points on that, Charlie. So we had a bunch of kids from my son's high school here with me in studio on election night. And, you know, maybe like, whatever, 15 of them. And they were all Trump supporters. There was no screening. Like, we're only taking the Trump supporters, but that just happened to be how it worked out. And that third point, war... was a big one for all of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
They're actually really worried about this neocon strain in the Democrat Party because they're the ones who are going to have to go fight it. And so you were tapping into exactly the right thing. And then one other cute point. My kids are in school all day and therefore do not listen to my show every day. They listen to it here and there and they get clips on social media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Now she knows she has to because of what she came out that night. She conceded the election.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And we were talking this week about who I had coming on today and I told them, Charlie Kirk. And my... My son and my daughter, she's 13, he's 15, go, you know Charlie Kirk? I'm like, yes, I know Charlie Kirk. Yes. Could we meet Charlie Kirk? I'm like, I think I could arrange it at some point. But that's how young, you're like a 13-year-old girl. She's seen your clips. She's been influenced by you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
They watched you on that show. Where do they surround you when you debate all the people? Jubilee. jubilee they watched you there i mean you you're making a huge difference not just in today's voters but in the next up and coming ones who are going to be voting four years from now charlie it's huge i do feel there's something divine going on you were chosen for some reason
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Correct. And then spent the next four years trying to convince us it was not legitimate. Just saying, look, it's not the same as Trump. What Trump did was far more severe. I'm not going to deny that, but don't try to tell me that Hillary Clinton wasn't an election denier and Jamie Raskin and a whole host of Democrats who are now in prominent positions on Capitol Hill.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Doesn't make it great what Trump did, but they don't have clean hands either.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
It's amazing just the right combination of recognizing what the issues were as created by the Democrats and then getting in there and doing the work to exploit them to reach out to these kids to say, let me let me give you the proper framework for it. You know, I mean, I feel like that's half of what I do on this show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Let me give you the framework for what's being done to you right now, because it is. they just take out their fire hose and they, they train it on you. And most people are just like on their heels, getting completely pummeled by the fire hose of information about what terrible people they are and why they have to believe boys can become girls or whatever your issue is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And it does help to have somebody like you go on and say, Let me put in perspective what you're feeling, like the stuff about the anxiety. That's not normal. You don't have to live like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
This has been done to you. I do want to show you something that's happening on college campuses, a few things. But before I move on to that, this is worth playing. At the moment, Trump announced or that it was announced that Trump won SOT3 and Charlie's reaction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That is emotional to watch. I share your feeling, Charlie. I felt it that night, too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Oh, Bill.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Go look up the immigration rates, illegal immigration rates for 2020, for 19 to 20.

We had Charlemagne the God on for a lengthy interview earlier in the year. And then to close this out, Charlie Kirk. He came on the Friday after the election, finally able to exhale after all the work he and his team put in to help Trump reclaim the White House. That was a great one. Enjoy, and we'll be back tomorrow with the conclusion to our True Crime Christmas series.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Well, that's what's so aggravating. We can accomplish it. We can we can stop what's happening at the southern border. We just won't under Joe Biden. And he keeps pretending like he has no agency on it, but he does have agency. There are a lot of executive orders he could do just like Trump did. He won't. And you know why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Don't you think that's what's happening to him on the trans issue, too, which is my big issue that I mentioned off the front?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024

Special Counsel Robert Hurst said he'd committed felonies, but he wouldn't indict him because he was a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. He couldn't get a conviction in front of a jury.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
All over his basement, his garage, everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That's why he didn't get charged with obstruction. But Trump has two classified documents, pieces to his case. One is you had them. And the second is you obstructed justice when we demanded them back. So, OK, against Biden, you don't get charged with obstruction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
You're asking me why I see it differently than you do. The contest between the two of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
It's not convincing. Fair enough.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
One?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Multiple. Many. No, I'm talking about one person. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Okay. I'll copy. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
That's very funny. You're taking me back to my childhood with that reference. But why can't the difference be one actually had the ability to declassify documents and keep them because he'd been the president and one didn't because he should have been looking at documents only in a skiff while a sitting U.S. senator.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And clearly he stole classified documents that he wasn't entitled to and never had the ability to declassify them.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
I'm not like that, Bill. I care about facts. I practiced law for 10 years. I want to get the cases right. The reports are that you and Don Jr. and maybe one other have been working behind the scenes to convince RFKJ that there's no path forward for him in this particular race, which is, I mean, whether you tried that or not, that appears to be the case.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
And that he should drop out and endorse Donald Trump and potentially get a role in his administration. He has announced that he's going to be making an announcement on Friday. And when asked about this, he just refused to confirm or deny for now, but did say, I'm not going to say anything about Donald Trump when asked to condemn some of Trump's comments on climate change.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Today, we're going to take a break from politics to talk about a very important topic. Chill out about the tariffs and markets. We're going to check in on them another day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
By the way, remiss if we didn't mention they also fund our lawmakers.

It took us decades to get into the tangled mess that they're trying to unpack right now in DC. How long is it going to take to get out of it? And at what cost? Text MK to 989898 today. Great to have you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
No, there was an update today. Hold on. Before it came to air, this just happened. Yeah. We're trying to get Cali means and RFKJ are trying to get, um, to make it such that people cannot use food stamps to buy soda, you know, to try to encourage our, our poorest Americans when they need food stamps to use them for high nutrition foods and not the worst of the worst.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
And tooth and nail, the soda companies are fighting this. It's worth something like $60 billion a year to them. And this just happened in Arizona where, um, There was a bill to remove soda from the things you could buy with food stamps, with SNAP. And they voted against it. And the bill failed to make it out of the Health and Human Services Committee in the Arizona legislature by a vote of 6-6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
And who cast the deciding vote against it? A Republican, Ralph Heap, voted against it alongside the Democrats. By the way, not for nothing, but here is, I think we have Callie Means. Yeah, here's Callie Means reacting to that and sat one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Last I checked, J.B. Pritzker is pretty rich and he's morbidly obese by anyone's standards.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Okay, can we just start with that? What is functional medicine? Because it's not the same as like traditional medicine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
We pay to buy that soda.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
This is the part of the conversation where I just want to open up a bag of Doritos. I was like, I give up. I give up. I can't. Like, there's no winning, right? We're probably inhaling enough microplastics to kill us right now. You know, it's like, by the way, that was another thing I learned in preparation for today. The average person, is it here?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
The average person now today has, this is from a, it was on the, it was in the New York Times today. on microplastics. The human brain samples from 2024 had nearly 50% more microplastics than brain samples from 2016. They estimate there are five bottle caps worth of plastic in the average human body. Five bottle caps? Can't spare it. So it's overwhelming. The farming, let's just start there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
That's what Casey and Callie have been saying. We need regenerative farming, which I don't really totally understand. But it seems like it's going to be really hard to make the farmers do that and really expensive. And when I sat in on those RFKJ confirmation hearings, even the Republican senators seemed to be a little like, I'm chugging for you, except when it comes to the farmers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
A regenerative farm.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
I was just thinking about wind turbines, which many of us absolutely hate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Most environmentalists hate them. Kill the birds, yeah. Yeah, they kill the birds, they kill the land. It's like they're full of toxins. The blades are as long as a football field. Each blade is as long as a football field and several tons. And you get up to hundreds of them in a wind farm.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Anyway, we have a summer home along the Jersey Shore and they're about to get pummeled by one of these wind farms and it's just so disgusting. Thank God for Trump for stopping most of them in progress. I don't think that order was going to help us. But in any event, all the money that Obama and Joe Biden have been funneling into wind and solar energy, which is very inefficient. It costs so much.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
It requires so much land and toxins and reliance on the Chinese and so on. Why don't why don't we funnel that into American farmers to help them switch over to regenerative 100 percent?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
By the way, my husband wrote a book on Rudolph Diesel, who invented the diesel engine. They should be using diesel engines and powering them with corn. That's a place we could use good corn oil or vegetable oil. They can power the engines of the tractors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
That's how the diesel engine was born. Okay, so regenerative farming is definitely one of the things. Now, what happens when the average patient comes in to see you? You do the blood tests. And where do you start? For the average listener, what are the top five? Because they don't know how to read their blood tests. I consider myself a relatively sophisticated consumer in this department.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
I don't know how to read my blood tests. I know you're supposed to look at the HDL and the LDL, and beyond that, I don't really know anything. So what should the average person be looking at? What are the most important things?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And then she heard about- It doesn't even occur to you that maybe it's nutrition. I think for a lot of people, it doesn't even occur to you. Especially with a child who you think can process anything no matter what you do.

I was doing some of these things like a year ago. I was getting my life in order physically and in every way. And the woman who was advising me was like, we should get you a test for the heavy metals in your body. And my doctor was like, no. He refused. It was actually something he would have had to order, I guess. And he's like, we're not doing that.

You know what I'm thinking about right now? After we had, did you watch that round table that they had in the US Senate with Ron Johnson and Callie and Casey were there? The Atlantic did a big write-up of it after and called it the woo-woo caucus. They were so dismissive and disgusting about these ideas being discussed in a serious way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
And that's what we're up against is that you start to say like, maybe we can head off schizophrenia with diet. And they say, I'm out, you're crazy.

Like, he was not open-minded to it at all. Some of the other stuff, he was like, okay, because I had mold in my apartment or my house at the beach, and he's like, I guess, you know, you can get tested for mold. But then he's like, do you really think it's an issue?

He was like, if mold were killing people, everybody who lived in the jungle would be dead a lot sooner than people who live in the desert, and they're not. So...

It was founded by former elite gymnast and longtime Levi's executive, Jennifer Say, the first gymnast to speak out about the abuse in women's gymnastics.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Well, this leads me to my other important question, which is how do people find a functional medicine doctor?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
This makes it exciting to go to med school in today's day and age. This is a way of truly healing people and helping people get better as opposed to just, you're going in, you're going to be governed by the insurance companies. You've been upper limited on how much you can make and how much you can help.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
And nurses too. I mean, nurses can do this. There's so many people who can do this who, you know, short of getting an MD, which would be like more accessible and more affordable for a lot of people too. So you've mentioned it several times, the keto diet. I've had it mentioned to me many times. I don't understand it still. No, I think I've looked it up and it says it's more like fat.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Yeah, yeah. She loves Alzheimer's. Yeah, but that's what's happening right now. In the same way we saw doctors who were like, you might not wanna get your seventh COVID vaccine booster, who got dismissed by people like Fauci as fringe, Jay Bhattacharya as focus protection, that's fringe.

Do you go on keto forever?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
And again, so you're saying, but also saturated fat. So like, well, that would be like red meat, like the fat that you get. I'm trying to think, what's good for you saturated fat? I know bad for you saturated fat is in the ultra processed foods.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
You know how many things call for that, by the way? Having like a daughter who's in eighth grade, every time she has to make brownies or cookies for the school, you know, all of it wants actual vegetable oil. And like, she's like, I don't know if you can use olive oil. I'm like, you're using it.

Do you see those memes online where they show Americans in the 1900s? First of all, they're well-dressed. And second of all, they're all slim. All of them are slim. It's very rare to see an obese person, even in the United States 100 years ago. Not even 100 years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044

The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
I've heard you talk about this, too. You go to a therapist today, whether it's you or a child, the first thing they want to do is prescribe you something. They want to get your college-age kid hooked on a drug like that.

But what's, I mean, when I was growing up in like the 80s, they were like, I remember because I was a young aerobics instructor and my fellow aerobics instructors were shaming themselves for having meat more than once a week. And I was like, oh, I didn't even know that was bad.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And the sugar, you know, I have to, I just noticed this the other day, but for example, my kids love ice cream.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
I was just looking at those. You can get those like dark chocolate bars at Whole Foods. I like the one that's like mint blackout. In any event, if it's over 90%, you know, cacao, which is going to mean it has less sugar. You can have four bars. squares of that chocolate, which is a decent size. If you're watching this on YouTube, it's like about this big.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044
Maybe a little smaller, but about around there. And it's only five grams of sugar. If you really have a Jones for something sweet after dinner, you could have that for five grams, or you could have a big bowl of ice cream, which might have 30, even more, grams of sugar in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Ending Chronic Disease, Forces Fighting RFK and MAHA, and Power of Functional Medicine, with Dr. Mark Hyman | Ep. 1044

Yeah. I don't know. Like even in the summers, I'm sure there are a lot of parents out there who can relate to this. The summers, the family eating goes to hell.

The high court, in a 5-4 decision in which Trump appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the three liberals in dissent, found that, as the Trump administration had conceded, the illegals deserve some measure of due process prior to removal, but that those hearings must be held in so-called habeas proceedings, which means before an immigration judge and in the jurisdiction in which the migrants are detained.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. It is the first big President Trump address tonight since taking office. Not that he hasn't been making news on a daily basis since his inauguration 43 days ago. Overnight, he paused all military aid going to Ukraine, for now at least.

Just FYI, this is what the White House put out on a fact sheet on its tariffs to justify the tariffs in part. I'm bringing this part up because it mentions more about Canada. A recent study recognized Canada's heightened domestic production of fentanyl and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Canada-based drug trafficking organizations maintain robust super labs, mostly in rural and dense areas in Western Canada, some of which can produce 44 to 66 pounds of fentanyl weekly. Last year's northern border fentanyl seizures, though smaller than Mexico's, could kill 9.5 million Americans due to the drug's potency.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Proof of Canada's growing role in this crisis, fentanyl seizures at the northern border in the first four months of the fiscal year are quickly closing in on what was seized the entirety of fiscal year 2022. Both nations' failure to arrest traffickers, seize drugs, or coordinate with U.S. law enforcement constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to America's security.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Do you think President Trump... wants them to step up, crack down on fentanyl and greater crackdowns on the border? Or do you think President Trump wants to extract the 25 percent penalty? Like which one is the better result in his mind?

I haven't looked at how bad the trade deficit is between the United States and Canada or the United States and Mexico. I know it was very bad between the United States and China, which is why they got in addition to the Trump put on tariffs in his first term, which the Democrats ripped. But then Joe Biden kept in place and most economists actually wound up defending them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And then he came back into office and slapped another 10% on China. And now just last night slapped another 10% on China. But there's no question that there's a massive trade deficit between China and us. I don't know what it is between us and Canada and us and Mexico, but I'm sure there's a basic fairness argument to be made.

Well, I mean, I guess we should know the answers to these and maybe President Trump will fill in some of these blanks in his speech tonight and defend why he thinks these are necessary. But I, for one, am willing to see how it goes. I think if the economy really starts tanking and large swaths of the American economic machine start hurting, Trump will do something.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
I mean, that is really what he prides himself on more than anything, is his being a businessman, his cutting deals. And Trump in particular is not going to look at a suffering stock market for very long and say, I won't do anything. He'll do it. He will do something. He's just that's the thing about Trump is he's active.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
you know, he doesn't just sit back and then go quiet and we see him half dead on a Rehoboth beach weeks later being wheeled out by his wife. That's Trump is active. So I feel like let's give him a shot. He clearly believes in this. Let's see how it goes. If it turns disastrous, I think he'll, he'll do what's necessary to undo it or make up the losses somehow.

And he is bringing, among other people, Peyton McNabb. The now 19 year old girl from North Carolina who was slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball by a male pretending to be a female player that she suffered permanent nerve damage and a traumatic brain injury. I think she's a perfect guest to accompany the president to be there so he can make reference to her. Here's the video here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
That's Peyton on the right. Sorry, sorry. That's that's the male player on the right. And then Peyton is going to get it. Watch. And so the spikes of male players are they've been documented to be far more powerful and with higher velocity than what any woman can do. And so this girl is a great walking.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
But since Peyton got injured, there have been so many young girls who have been injured, who have had trophies stolen from them. And guys, this comes on the heels of yesterday. Every Democrat in the Senate and both of the so-called independents, who are also secret Democrats, voting against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Every single one, even though this issue has 80% support by the American public to not let boys into girls sports. It's insane. That alone is a huge winner and winning moment for Trump tonight. Thoughts?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
It's very hard because I take your point, state by state experiment and all that, but I actually do think it's a civil rights issue for girls and for women. And they're already entitled to this protection under the existing law. It just must be enforced.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
But secondly, we've, of course, been through four years of Joe Biden, where he implemented these so-called reforms into Title IX and policy and his, you know, dear friend pressure on universities.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And so Trump has to try to undo it on a national level, both through executive order and Title IX new guidance, and ideally through a statute which would stop this pendulum from swinging back and forth and back and forth, and we could have predictability. Here is... who we need to keep our eyes on, okay?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Because the senators who are from blue states like New York and California are not going to be punished for their absurd vote. And keep in mind, they didn't even have the balls to allow a vote. That's what they were being asked on. Will you vote for cloture, which is where you need 60 votes in the Senate to say yes? That's it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
They just needed to allow this to proceed to the Senate floor for a real vote and then let majority rule as it always should. They wouldn't. So they affirmatively stopped it because they knew that the Republicans did have the 53 votes. All 53 Republicans were ready to vote yes on this. And they couldn't get the chance to because they needed seven Dems to cross over.

So here are the true villains, the ones who are in swing states who must be targeted. I'm begging Elon to use some of his money and he's 100% with me on this issue. 100% with me. I beg you to use some of your money to help defeat the following people. Arizona, both of them have to go. Ruben Gallego, it should have been Carrie Lake anyway. She would have voted the right way.

Mark Kelly, who I liked and who I still have a personal affinity for. I'm sorry, you need to go. If I could wave my magic wand, you're fired, sir, because you voted the wrong way. Georgia, John Ossoff, who's got a daughter but doesn't seem to give two shits about what happens to her on the sports field, and Raphael Warnock, who I think is going soon anyway. Michigan, Gary Peters.

You don't get it at all. And then there's Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin. who exposed herself as a complete idiot in those confirmation hearings that I went down to. She was one of the dopiest people we saw up there. I'm not surprised she landed in the wrong place. But those are swing state Democratic senators who ruined the protection of girls and women thanks to their votes on this issue.

Let me tell you something in response to that. It's exactly the opposite because here's what's happening now. I know this because I am the mother of this age child. You know, I have a 15 and a 13 and 11 year old.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And this is where this kind of thing becomes a problem when they're little, you know, when it's not an issue pre puberty, when they're seven and eight and playing against each other, there's not a difference so much, a little difference there is, but like, it's not a dangerous difference between boys and girls at that, at that age. Um, But this is where my kids are, where it does become an issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And what's happening now is if you have a gender nonconforming girl who's out there, let's say, on the field hockey field, parents are starting to worry that it's a boy. Is that a boy? Because there are a lot of moms now who are like, my child is not playing against a biological boy. It isn't safe. And I object to it. And so now questions get asked about, is that a girl or is that a boy?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Inspect genitals. That's, of course, hysterical talk from the left. But there are questions. Is that a boy or is it a girl? And you're entitled to know as a parent who has a child out there. Because look at Peyton McNabb. Nobody wants their child to have that happen to them.

Or the girl in Massachusetts who had all of her teeth knocked out on the field, hockey field, by a boy pretending to be a girl on the other team. And the trauma to the rest of her teammates in watching her mouth fall out of her skull, which is what happened, with blood everywhere. Fuck you, John Fetterman, and your empathy for the trans people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Where's your empathy for that girl who has no more teeth in Massachusetts? Anyway... So if we know that boys are not allowed to play in girls' athletics, of course we will do what we have always done, which is just say, that's a more masculine-looking girl. Maybe it's a lesbian. Maybe it's like a butch lesbian. Fine. Most women have zero problem with that. We love all women. We love the lesbians.

Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
We love the lipstick kind. We love the butch kind. We don't care. Welcome to the sports. Lead. Be great. Awesome. But If you have to wonder whether it's secretly a boy, it raises safety and other concerns that do make you get more, not inspecting on the child, but worried and inquisitional and can lead to awkward, uncomfortable moments for everyone.

They wrote it intentionally to be as non-controversial as possible. you know, so that they didn't put all these weird things in there that would allow the Democrats to wiggle out of it. It's, it's very simple. It's, it's the thing that 80% of the populace supports and these Dems all voted. No, not one showed courage on this subject before we move on from it.

Just this week, this is via the lion, a, it's a new media outlet that publishes articles on news and culture.

The triple jump performance, which I'm about to show to you, was eight feet further than the runner-up. Eight feet he jumped further than the girl. Watch it. Wow. And you hear somebody say that's just wrong. Because they know no girl's going to be able to compete against that. Here is A.B. Hernandez after the meet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Okay, and then I'm just going to make two other points quickly. That's why this A.B. Hernandez is being allowed to play. Yes, woke ideology and all that, but also these ridiculous schools who want wins. There is a school in Westchester, it's a private school, and they fired their athletic director because he was against... letting boys onto the girls teams for safety and fairness issues.

And they wanted boys on the girls teams because they want to win the rugby championship or the ice hockey championship. I can't remember which one it was. It must be ice hockey because rugby is not big here. They want to win the ice hockey championship, the girls team. And the more boys they can put on the team, the better. And here's the second thing.

Staying in California, there's the San Francisco Waldorf girls basketball team. We have covered this team in the past. They've been dominating thanks to a boy named Harry who is on the team who typically averages 20 points a game. 20 points a game. But he was out. in the last week of February. And by the way, in January, he scored 29 points. That was his average.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And then they said to the ones, I guess the leadership is saying, no, you should show up, but you should bring somebody should bring somebody who will make a point. Well, by the way, like, is that a thing? I don't remember like the Congress members ever bringing a guest. Isn't it just the president who brings a guest and puts them up in the first lady's box?

But he did not play in the recent playoff game And guess what? His team lost by 26 points. They really missed their biological boy on the team. So this is what girls are up against. You run into these athletic directors who want the W, or the school principal who wants the W at all costs, or extremely woke Californians who are like, boys are girls.

Or CBS News, who in reporting on what happened last night, says as follows, Senate Dems on Monday blocked a measure that sought to ban transgender girls and women from competing on school sports teams that match their gender identity.

Kids who express gender confusion, if you just leave them alone and you don't start socially transitioning them or changing names or 90% of them plus will revert to their biological sex and forget the gender nonsense. But what happens is these schools without telling the parents, um, start transitioning them. And then they don't tell the parents anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
The parents have no idea that when they go to school, they assume an entirely different identity, name, put on different clothing. Everybody there experiences them as somebody of the opposite sex. It's very dark. Trump said this was happening. We just did a story on this. He said it repeatedly, but over the campaign trail, he said it. And they tried to fact check him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Axios tried to fact check him saying that's not happening. It's happening all over the way. It's happening all over New York City, public and private. I can attest to that personally.

That should be a decision that is made with parents. But these schools are doing it without. So I credit Trump a lot for choosing these people, putting them in the first lady's seating area.

We talked about it yesterday. Mark Halperin conducted a poll with an independent pollster named Wick.

That was a tweet or a true social post, but he didn't say that to his face. And I will, I encourage you, and you are busy guys who have a lot going on, but you should go back and take a look at the video we did yesterday.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And we showed how Zelensky was antagonizing Trump with the eye rolls and the size and interrupting him and correcting him over and over and over. And Trump took it. He took it. He took it. He took it. He was he was taking the high road, guys. But Trump is Trump. And the American people elected him knowing who he is. This is not a way to get on his good side. He should have been flattered.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
He definitely should not have been antagonized. And where did Trump not forget J.D.? Where did Trump lose it? Trump lost it when Zelensky said the danger may be coming to you. And that's when he came in and was like, you're not going to talk that way in the Oval Office to the American people. Now I'm done. Now it's over. I don't blame Trump at all for his behavior in the Oval.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And J.D., he didn't get mad or really interjected at all until he'd seen all that behavior by Zelensky, the stuff I'm talking about. Go back and look at the video. And then he was called by his first name in what was obviously a disrespectful moment. I said this yesterday. It's one thing.

World leaders don't usually call each other by their first names, but they'll occasionally do it in a moment of levity or warmth, you know, where like, whatever Trump might say, like BB and I go, go way back. Or we had a moment back when we were having lunch, you know, but where it's tense and you're, you're in the middle of this escalating thing where the guy's eye rolling at you.

And by the way, he has said very, very critical things about JD prior to this day and vice versa. So they don't like each other. And then you lean over and in, in front of the press, you're like, you refer to him as JD. What are you talking about? JD explain yourself. And so JD gave him shot back. It wasn't a nasty answer. But there was a tone to it that showed things were starting to go down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And then the rest is history. But anyway, my point is simply, I really don't think Trump behaved badly in that. I think he was antagonized over and over and over. And to the extent that Donald Trump's capable of taking that kind of needling on the world stage in front of the American public, he did it. And then finally, they pushed him too far when they started to threaten the safety of Americans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And to me, it was totally understandable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
He wasn't, but it's the problem that Zelensky faced in the lead-up. in the, in the meeting still is there's, I mean, a total and utter power imbalance. And it's like, it's, it's very annoying. But one of the things he challenged Trump on was Trump keeps saying that we've spent $350 billion on Ukraine. I don't know where Trump's getting that number from. I've tried to replicate that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
I cannot find what's in 350 billion or how he's getting there. Um, we got to 250 billion. I could find that. And, um, Then there's one source that says, well, if you just limit it to this particular kind of aid, it's more like 115 billion, which would put the Europeans at 136 billion above us. But you'd have to limit our aid down to one particular thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And our aid has been vast and we've been doing military training and we've been doing, you know, sending munitions and so on. So I think that if you look at our Pentagon, there's no question we've spent more than the Europeans. And Zelensky was trying to say that we haven't. And Trump handled it. He handled it. He was like, no, not really. Yes, they kind of agreed to disagree.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
But like it is true that we have done the lion's share. The United States has done the lion's share in funding this war on behalf of Ukraine. And where have we gotten to a stalemate to a place like I don't understand? Like I look at it from the Rachel Maddow point of view. And I or yours, Moynihan, since you say it's similar on this issue substantively.

They don't have one. The most they've come up with is organizing like move on to send some nasty protesters to some of these Republican town halls to make it seem like Republicans and are very mad at Republicans. And maybe there are some Republicans, but for the most part, these are Democrat operatives showing up at Republican town halls to yell at them. Yes. OK, hold on. This is Politico.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
What is it that Trump should be insisting on that he's not? He, I think, accurately perceives the American people do not have the appetite for American boots on the ground to maintain security in Ukraine. So he thinks the Europeans should do it, which makes a lot of sense because it is their backyard and Ukraine is part of Europe. That makes perfect sense to me. But.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
He didn't, well, today he pulled all eight because he's mad now. And of course it's working. Zelensky's already coming back and you're probably right. He'll sign that minerals deal and Trump will likely announce it tonight because Trump decided to play hardball. But he said to Zelensky, here's what I will do. I'll invest billions, hundreds of billions of dollars in your country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Now I want something for it. I would like some of these rare earth materials that we really need because Russia and Ukraine are rich with them and the United States is not. And China's rich with them and we are not. So that could help me and my people. And it wouldn't be too terrible for you either, because we'll give you all this money in exchange for it.

Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And we'll have this ongoing economic presence there and actual physical presence as we work with you to try to extract this stuff that will be a deterrent in other ways to Putin. That's what Trump has proposed. How is that so offensive?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
forth on this. So how does that look if Trump gave him that? And there was a moment in which Trump suggested he might be open minded to it yesterday. But Zelensky didn't take the W. It just kept stepping over Trump. But I don't in general, I don't think Trump wants to give that.
The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
OK, so let's say we gave that. No, it's not. And it shouldn't be. I'm not sending my sons over there to go fight for Ukrainians if Vladimir Putin crosses that line. Hell no. Or daughter. So that's what I'm talking about. So if we sent troops over there to be the enforcers of this deal as the security for Ukraine, you know, security guarantees, then we're involved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Then if Putin crosses the line again, it's a war between Russia and the United States. Hell no. We don't want that. The country doesn't want that.

Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
you give us minerals and we give you hundreds of billions in aid. I mean, it's not we're not getting it for they're not giving it up for free.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
That's reportedly what they're negotiating, that we will continue our ongoing economic investment in Ukraine in exchange for the minerals we want. And by the way, all the monies that we've given so far virtually every dollar is unsecured. And Trump keeps saying with the Europeans, it was secured. They got loans and we gave gifts. And Zelensky denied that. It is true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
That's another thing Trump's saying that is true. The Europeans got guarantees and we didn't. So- And of course they're going to negotiate what Russia's going to get to keep. And Trump seems to be telegraphing, look, they're probably going to keep what they've gotten, like, and no more. You know, you kept them out of Kiev and that was great. And there's not going to be further incursions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018

That's the reality, unless they dramatically change their spending habits and live up to military commitments they've made previously that they've been flouting for years. So technically, I guess they can, but nobody believes they actually will. That's the problem. So that now they want to rub Trump's face in. Oh, he's terrible. He didn't stand by his ally.

So they can't do it without us. They need to not keep aggravating President Trump. President Trump, I think, probably would get around to, you know, intel support if that's where we are. That's a much different commitment than we're going to send American military to Ukraine and be the first defense against Vladimir Putin, which puts us in a war if Putin gets hungry again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
He knows he can't do that. I just think Trump is threading a very difficult to thread needle here, and he needs people's support. He's trying to bring an end to this impossible, near intractable conflict. He needs Zelensky to not be a prick. And I don't care if he doesn't like the way Trump's talking in the Oval. He has no bargaining power, none. Zero. He is in a supplicant position.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And he needs to know that when he's over here dealing with our commander in chief, to whom he owes and needs everything, from whom he needs everything. And the Europeans, the same. So you can act all high and mighty with a bunch of swagger. but there's only one real player here and it's us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And that's why we are speaking to Putin and Trump is trying to speak nicely to Putin and not say the terrible things about Putin. He understands all the things that you said, Matt. He's trying to negotiate in the way that he knows how. It works for him if you compliment him, if you flatter him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
He's trying to do exactly that with Putin because that in Trump's head is the price of getting a deal done. It's irrefucking relevant to the rest of us. We should not be getting upset or drawing conclusions from any of that language. We should be looking at what Trump accomplishes. But when dealing with Trump, you should know how to play him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And that there's no excuse for Zelensky to have gone in there and to have been openly antagonistic, given the power imbalance and given what we know about Trump. That's my own take on it. I'll give you guys the last word.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Like, why didn't they have the deal signed? And why? Like, I don't know why J.D. and these others were even in the room. It should have been Zelensky shows up. They signed the deal. They have lunch. Then they go out with a signed deal, just the two of them. Now, I don't know why the vice president was there. He normally wouldn't be there. Just the two of them go out and talk to the press.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And Zelensky never should have negotiated pieces of part two that day. It should have been purely celebratory. That should have been very clear between both leaders. We've signed this historic deal. Yay, the United States is doing super lots of stuff in Ukraine. Hello, Vladimir Putin, we're really good friends and we're going to prom together. Like that's that day. Everything else gets tabled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And then you have your arguments about security guarantees and how many times Putin has violated them behind closed doors leading up to phase two when you're trying to convince America to do more and be the backstop to the Europeans that everybody knows the Europeans need. Zelensky blew it. And he tried to antagonize Trump over security guarantees, which is part two during the part one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
There were too many players in the room. They hadn't signed the deal yet. And he had been amped up by Democrats like Chris Murphy and Mark Kelly before he even got there, who I believe pushed that guy into the wrong headspace when he went into what was one of the most important meetings of his life. Okay, quick break back with the guys. Wait, do you want something else quickly before we go?

I just don't believe it because I believe much more that Trump Like the conspiracy theory is that the deal was like falling apart and it wasn't favorable to Trump and Trump couldn't get Putin to agree to it. Like I.E. having European security forces patrol Ukraine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And so that Trump did something to tank the deal in that Oval Office meeting so that it didn't look like his dealmaking skills were bad. It made it look like, oh, Zelensky's a hothead. You know, it fell apart. That doesn't sound right to me because Trump is not shy about owning up to any reality, good or bad. He like he'll spin it. He'll spin all of it, of course.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
But when have you ever seen him so scared about a nasty political reality that he does something like that? That's not that's conspiracy theory talk. This president conspiracy theory is much more advanced.

And there's no question J.D. is not a Zelensky fan or a fan of this, you know, of Ukraine. But. I also just think it's much more consistent with Trump to have wanted the win and to have wanted to run around being like, I got the minerals deal. And that loser who was there before me got nothing. He got us further and further entrenched in this thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And I got us the minerals deal, which, you know, Trump is all about that. Like we're about to annex green because he wants minerals. He wants... Like, this is important to Trump.

You might've heard about the new brand called XXXY Athletics. They're the only athletic brand that is standing up for women's sports. It was founded by former elite gymnast and longtime Levi's executive, Jennifer Say. Jennifer was the first gymnast to speak out about the abuse in women's gymnastics. And then she pushed back on lockdowns and closed schools during COVID.

Is that reaping the whirlwind he talked about? Because that really would make me behave differently. You mentioned Jasmine Crockett. Can I just give you a word on her? There were all sorts of reactions to the Zelensky-Trump Oval Office meeting. Hers began as follows. In short, bullies ain't shit.

Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
But she might make it rhyme. I don't know. But yeah, that's the level of political discourse. I mean, I do think Trump, he's got an opportunity tonight because usually at this point, the reason they don't call it a State of the Union address is because when it's your first year in office, you've only been there for a few weeks and you usually haven't gotten anything done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And my God, not the case at all. I mean, just the Lake and Riley Act would be reason enough to hold this address and get into the specifics of what's happened at the border. You know, the reports are, and Trump has been saying, that the numbers are down more than 100% at the border. The latest is that we're down 94% of crossings at the border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
I mean, it was like almost 200,000 a month this time last year, and it's down to 8,000 a month this year. I mean, it's incredible what he's... He has sealed up the border almost as much as is humanly possible, but there's so much beyond the executive order. This is just an extraordinary presidency so far in terms of volume and the number of things that...

you know, some might've predicted this older, perhaps tired second go at it. President could possibly get done. He's governing like his life depends on it with the number of things going on.

Today is not the day for that. Yesterday wasn't either. Trump thought that that was going to be something to tout, right? I mean, he made the deadline for them to do. It wasn't really clear exactly what he wanted them to do in Canada and Mexico in order not to be subjected to these tariffs. And right before this address. So clearly Trump wanted to use that in his speech tonight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
And he said, well, they haven't accomplished enough. But again, it was kind of unclear what exactly are they supposed to do? We realized that the border's not secure because of Mexico. And he's still complaining about the amount of fentanyl that's coming across it. Yes, I think everybody agrees. There were some stats around that that were very bad in terms of bus we just made.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
Some of it is coming across the Canadian border. But I think he's more upset about the trade deficit with Canada, and that's why he's punishing them. It remains unclear. Trump hasn't said specifically, here are your sins, at least not as much with respect to Canada. He keeps pointing to, yes, fentanyl, but also trade deficit. So now they're each facing 25% tariffs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
So let's talk about it because he's very happy about it and he clearly thinks he's going to, A, get money for the United States from doing this. He points out that Canada's got all these banks in the United States, but not a single American bank is allowed in Canada. How's that fair? Just these basic things that frankly, people can understand. They're like, you're right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018
There is a bank from Canada down the road. Why can't we have this sort of basic fairness is what Trump's going for. You guys as libertarians are not big fans of tariffs. We had a conversation when Trump first announced that he might slap 10% tariffs across the board months and months and months ago. And now he's done it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd New Resistance Efforts for Trump Address, and Dems Vote Against Protecting Women's Sports, with the Fifth Column | Ep. 1018

The legislation would have codified President Trump's executive orders on this subject into law. Without this legislation, President Trump's executive orders protecting girl sports can be overturned with ease by a future administration.

The release of the Oscars ratings delayed. The New York Times, anticipating lower viewership considering the top-nominated movies were barely seen by anyone. In fact, eight of the ten Best Picture nominees combined earned less than half of what Wicked and Dune II, also nominated, made at the box office.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We're in day 15 at the Trump presidency. Can you believe that? It's only day 15 and the news cycle is still moving at a frantic pace. The Finance Committee just approved Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
period, which is why I've been saying from the beginning, all this DEI stuff is illegal. This is illegal. You cannot make hiring promotion, firing decisions based on the fact that somebody is a white guy or a black woman. It's not okay. So what he's really saying to me, Mike, is he's just now going to enforce this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
He's going to now go around and find the places who have been flouting the law and threaten them, potentially deprive them of their federal money. Um, okay. Trump ordered agencies under his control in the executive branch to apply the civil rights laws, of which I speak, against private sector DEI programs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
He also ordered the attorney general to issue a report within 120 days that includes strategies and policies to combat DEI in the private sector, including possible litigation and identifying large organizations to target for investigation. The order specifically allows for teachers at federally funded institutions of higher education to still investigate advocate for DEI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
They can, they can, I want to get the right words. They can advocate for DEI, endorse DEI and promote DEI, but they cannot use race and sex based preferences at these universities for hiring, for admissions, for promotions, et cetera, but they can still have classes on DEI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Obviously, he's on record as funneling a lawsuit, a couple lawsuits to law firms against Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, which many parents declined. We did a whole show about that with a fair and balanced debate, pro and against. he'll say so. But he's made clear it's really not about his personal views.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So you tell me whether this is going to withstand legal challenges that say it's somehow a crackdown on free speech or a factor of race that may or may not be the determinative factor and whether this is likely to stand at the end of whatever litigation comes, Mike.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So within the executive branch, that's why we're seeing video or that picture, for example, at the Pentagon of them taking down the DEI mural on the wall. Like within the executive branch and the agencies that Trump has control over, he's saying remove the DEI paraphernalia, remove the DEI classes, remove the DEI language.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And then in the private sector, he's saying in particular, when it comes to large corporations and nonprofits,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I want my attorney general to submit a report within 120 days with recommendations on who needs to be sued, basically to force compliance with the civil rights laws, publicly traded corporations, large nonprofit corporations, foundations with assets of $500 million or more state and local bar and medical associations and institutions of higher learning with endowments over $1 billion, Dave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
But in that position, would he be in a position to say, you know what, you might want to take a second look at this one? Yes, good. That doesn't mean your kid won't have access to it or you won't have access to it. But some of us have become a little bit more vaccine skeptical in the wake of COVID and this HPV vaccine, which has injured some.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So he's saying, well, For those groups, he wants the DOJ to actually start enforcing the civil rights laws if they are unlawfully discriminating on the basis of race or gender.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Here's the other thing though, Mike, I've mentioned this on the air before. I've never named the bank out of respect for my friend, but my friend is a senior guy at a very large bank in Manhattan. And he told me that he needed to get rid of some people because, you know, they were cutting back and whatever, finding efficiencies. And he was specifically told it has to be three white guys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And he was upset because the three people who were the weakest on his team were either black or women. And if he had to turf people, he wanted to turf the weakest ones. And it just happened in this case that they had been DEI hires and they were not strong. And his best performers happened to be white guys. But he was told by his boss that you have to pick amongst the white men. That's illegal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That's exactly the kind of person who should call Team Trump in a whistleblower or anonymous situation and say, you need to come investigate my bank. And this has happened to me. And then they come and kick those tires because there is a way of the federal government coming and involving itself against a bank if it's if it's violating the civil rights laws in this way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Um, we did a whole thing like, you know, the end conclusion of that HPV vaccine thing that we did was, uh, the one woman was saying she, she landed on doing one shot instead of two shots, whatever you make your own decision. But the point is you can have a debate. You can have a debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Okay. Let's talk about the next one because it's getting, it's getting interesting already. Um, protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation. That's the name of the EO. This speaks to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors in the name of so-called gender affirming care, which is a I believe this should be banned nationwide. This is child abuse.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
This should not be allowed on any child. I don't care if the parents consent to it. A parent can't consent to take out a child's healthy stomach because it would kill them. It would be child abuse. And so they shouldn't be allowed to do this either. Absolutely not. This should be banned on a nationwide level. This is barbaric that it's happening anywhere. And so what Trump is saying is,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It is the policy of the United States to not fund or promote child gender transitions. It will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called transition of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures. Organizations that receive federal education or research grants...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
can no longer perform these procedures. He writes, end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children. And it goes on to say the HHS secretary is also to use the following tools to end this, including Medicare or Medicaid conditions of participation, meaning you can go ahead and continue performing these procedures on children, random hospital.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And the fact that the news media, the left, and this portion of the right that's so pro-vaccine has shut down any discussion of it. I told you when I was on Fox, you were not allowed to entertain any claims that there was something wrong with the MMR vaccines. And I'm fine with the MMR vaccines. I gave them all to my kids. Thank God all my kids are fine. Wonderful things happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You just won't be able to take any Medicare patients anymore. Medicare will no longer be available at your hospital, nor will Medicaid. I mean, That's they're all going to comply that that's their bread and butter. Um, it also prohibits coverage for child gender transitions in insurance plans that federal workers have, including any military worker.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And here again, it has a directive to the department of justice. The attorney general shall convene all States attorneys general and other law enforcement officers to coordinate the enforcement of of these laws, of laws against female genital mutilation across American states. So that speaks to the red states that have already banned this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Shall prioritize investigations and take appropriate action to end deception of consumers by any entity that may be misleading the public about the long-term side effects of chemical and surgical mutilations. That's through like... advertising through medical disclosures.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
If you don't tell the people, tell the families, tell the children explicitly what exactly is going to happen to them, then we can privatize investigations against you. And it goes on from there. So, oh, and by the way, there's one in here for Tim Wallace in Minnesota.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
He says the Department of Justice shall prioritize investigations and take appropriate action to end child abusive practices by so-called sanctuary states that facilitate stripping custody from parents who support the healthy development of their own children.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That's a complete reference to Tim Walz and what he did in Minnesota, making his state a so-called sanctuary where they will remove custody from parents who don't believe in these procedures, put the child in the care of the state and then have a stranger take act as their guardian while they chop off their healthy body parts. It's sick. Okay. So likely challenges to this one, Dave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I think, Dave, I think it's I think if I'm not mistaken, that case is about the hormones and not the surgical procedures.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Um, here, okay. So here's, here's what's already happening though. Today in New York, you have, um, there's news that NYU Langone, which is a great hospital. Um, unfortunately they've been doing these procedures or at least the hormones because there's a report, I think it was in the
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
that they, in the wake of this executive order, because they are an institution that does receive some federal funds, denied or canceled two scheduled injections of puberty blockers. I guess you get like a thing in your arm, almost like a birth control pill as a woman. And they were about to do these on two 12-year-olds, which is not a surprise because that's when you start puberty.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
They gained some immunity and they didn't have any adverse reactions. But Why can't we talk about the people who had a different result? How is that dangerous? People can make up their own minds. RFKJ is going in there to deal with the public health crisis that is happening in this country right now. It's not about vaccine. Would you just zoom out from your obsession with vaccines, RFKJ critics?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It's disgusting. Like a 12-year-old could ever possibly consent to to what these drugs do to him or her. In any event, NYU Langone canceled two of the procedures, and then there was a protest outside of the hospital last night by these far-left loons led by Cynthia Nixon, who is... as far left as that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Yeah, it was the group, the Democratic Socialists of America, the ones who were cheering all the dead Jews after 10-7, right in the middle of Manhattan, like, yay, yay, yay, dead, right, burned babies. Yeah, we're in favor. That's the Democratic Socialists of America. So she parades out there with them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And I'll show you her soundbite, but more important than Cynthia Nixon is Letitia James, the Attorney General of the state of New York, who
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
responded to NYU Langone saying, you better do these procedures because if you offer puberty blockers for so-called cis kids, which is a disgusting term to just kids, to any kids, you can't deny them to quote trans kids or you have violated our anti-discrimination laws, Mike.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So that's now Leticia James is putting NYU Langone and all of our other hospitals who are trying to comply with the Trump EO in a very difficult position.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Yes, 100%. These doctors are the problem. What these doctors are making money, hand over fist, performing these bizarre surgeries. And if you want to do that as an adult, there's that weird clinic down in Texas where you can get all of your genitals removed. You can get your belly button removed. You can turn yourself into some sort of cyborg if you want. I don't support it. I don't like it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I think you're weird and gross, but it's really not my business. But when it's children, it's a totally different matter. But Dave- I think you put your finger on it because what Tish James is saying is if you comply with the Trump executive order hospitals, you are behaving in it. You're discriminating between sort of regular kids and these kids who say that they're trans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And that's exactly what they argued before the Supreme Court in the case that you referenced challenging the Tennessee ban on these surgeries for minors. They tried to argue that the proponents of these procedures, the people who don't want it banned, They try to say it's sex discrimination to go in there and say that
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You can get a puberty blocker if you're an actual girl, but you can't get one if you're a, quote, trans girl, meaning like fake girl, meaning boy, that it's somehow sex discrimination. And the Supreme Court did not seem at all inclined to buy that. And so Tish James's objection really could be dismissed summarily, depending on how the Supreme Court rules within a matter of months.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Would you spend two seconds looking at the way we eat, the way we treat patients who get disease, who get obese, who we funnel through a lifetime of pharmaceuticals and additional medical procedures without pausing to say, what's making you ill? Why do children have autism now at a 1 in 30 rate as opposed to 1 in 10,000 30 years ago? Why do children have so many allergies?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I agree. But I think this same type of argument was scoffed at in open court when they tried to make it. And Mike, it's like you can't, you know, Take Ozempic. Any adult, maybe Lizzo wants to use Ozempic. I don't think most people will give her a hard time on that. But if you want to give Ozempic to a six-month-old baby, that's abuse. You'll be in prison. You will be behind bars very quickly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
We have different formulations based on who wants the medicine and for what purpose. And this is, I mean, for some, it could be in essence a vanity project to have these puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones injected into their child. For some, it could be a form of conversion therapy because in too many cases, they don't want a gay boy. They don't want an effeminate gay son And they're bigots.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
They tend to be leftist bigots who would rather have a girl. You're not a gay boy. You're a girl. And they push their kids down this road. And their son would have grown up to be a totally fine, well, gay man. But they manipulate him into doing. So it's just it's sick. It is like giving the Ozempic to a six month old. So I think Tish James will lose her challenge.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And that leaves me, though, with Cynthia Nixon, who we all agree, Democratic Socialists of America is a disgusting, vile group. And they think they have the moral high ground here, Mike. She went out. She was, of course, one of the stars of Sex and the City. She had the following to say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That means a woman, a daughter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That means her niece.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
His top surgery. Her breast removed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I'll tell you one thing. She's right about one thing. She is sick. She is sick. And to your point, Mike, about social contagion, did she not just make your point?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Yeah, exactly right. But what do you make of it, Dave? Because it just, I mean, it's barbaric. And for her, you know as well as I do, 30 years ago, it's not that there were all these trans people in hiding. She's like, it's her daughter. When you say trans, if you substitute it in the word fake, it actually gets you to the right result. It's very confusing for people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So she has a daughter who had her breast chopped off At NYU and like so many other people, she wants to feel validated in her choice and her kids choice by having other kids do the same thing. And so she's going to go out there with the Democratic. It's no accident that she could only find those loons to go march with her, Dave, in trying to make her point.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Why are children getting ADHD in record numbers? Why are children suffering from tics? Why are all these children getting Tourette's? We're just not supposed to ask those questions. We're just supposed to go about our business and consume all the dyes and the chemicals in our food that's not the Europeans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And just FYI, because a lot of people don't know this, but if your child goes from puberty blockers right into cross-sex hormones, he's sterilized or she is sterilized and absolutely no hope of sexual function. So you have basically chemically castrated your child and they will never achieve sexual pleasure ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I mean, how can you argue that an 11-year-old could ever consent to that they have no idea what's going on? what that means, what that portends for their life. It's like people sue over this, the lack of consortium from a spouse because they're no longer able to perform because they got so depressed after the car accident.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You're guaranteeing lack of consortium for your child for the rest of his or her life just by the hormones. Forget the surgeries.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
All right. One quick question for you, Mike, on Trump's order that transgender people, you know, so-called honestly, I just I really don't think there's any such thing. There's people who have gender dysphoria who say they're a sex other than the one they are. That's just too much of a mouthful. Anyway, he says they can't serve in the military anymore, like at all, not even a desk job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And I was asking myself, you know, in light of the opinion by the Supreme Court that it's illegal to discriminate against trans people in hiring. You know, they've been given protected status when it comes to hiring and firing at the job site, at the workplace. Could this be challenged? But then you hear you can keep somebody out of the military if they have asthma.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Eat the pasta that has the wheat that's been sprayed with this toxic chemical as a pesticide. Just... Ignore the farmers who are dying from cancer from the pesticides potentially that they're spraying. All that should be looked into. Should it not? Is it not fair?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
There's a whole bunch of things that you can keep if they have the wrong tattoos. So is there any question that that is a legal order by Trump?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
's nomination to be secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. This means it will go to the full floor of the U.S. Senate, where now he's expected to be confirmed. The big question was whether he would make it out of committee.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Oh, man. OK, let's do birthright citizenship, because this is a big one. It's in the Constitution. It's in the 14th Amendment. Speaking of the Equal Protection Clause, and it reads as follows. All persons born or naturalized in the United States. OK, so if you're born here, just go with that. And subject to the jurisdiction thereof. are citizens of the United States, et cetera.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
If you're born here and you're subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, you're a citizen. So Trump issued an executive order saying, no, you are not a citizen. You or the mom is here lawfully, but she's not a citizen and she's only here temporarily.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So he's basically just trying to get it, mostly he's trying to get at illegals who come across the border, they have their kid, and then their kid is an American anchor baby with all the benefits of citizenship. Now, Dave, there is precedent, as I understand it, saying that
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
that subject to the jurisdiction does not create some loophole that's as big as the one Trump claims and that we've been doing it right. Illegals who sneak in and have a baby, their kids do get to be American citizens. But there are at least two cases on the other side suggesting maybe not, maybe it's not as clear. So walk me through your analysis of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
to actually kick the tires on public health and figure out whether not only have we just accepted living this way, which is totally unhealthy, I mean, literally unhealthy, making us sick, but it's being pushed on it. It is an active part of the game for too many of these industries. Do you think big pharma wants us all to get better like that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Let me just jump in. Like, if a diplomat commits a crime while he's in New York City for the UN meeting, we don't arrest him, right? Because he's got diplomatic immunity, because he's not really subject to the jurisdiction. And if a diplomat has a baby while she's on US soil, her baby does not become a US citizen. It's still a citizen of whatever country the diplomat is from.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So you're just saying you cannot analogize between an illegal person who's here and diplomats like Trump is doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That is my legal authority as well. Mike, do we all concur?
The Megyn Kelly Show

I know you have a very strong argument on the substance that you want to offer, and we're going to do that right after this quick break. We'll pick it up. This is actually a really good, this is a juicy one. I thought it was kind of a joke. And the more I looked into it, the more I was like, hmm, Trump does have a legal leg to stand on.

And this one's going to be very interesting as they really get into it. I've got some good news for you, and it's called... Firecracker Farm hot salt. This small family business is making waves, and if you have not yet tried it, it is time to change that. This was the gift to give and receive this past Christmas. It's delicious, and it elevates everything it touches.

Eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, and more. It's got a kick, but it's not overwhelming. The flavor enhances food without overpowering it. The best part? It comes in sleek, stainless steel grinders that are easy to take with you anywhere, unlike messy hot sauce that runs out quickly. Firecracker Farm hot salt lasts and lasts, providing hundreds of servings from just one grinder.

Way more bang for the buck. There are plenty of blends to choose from and refills are available. So for those who find it a bit too spicy, keep this in mind. If you mix it with some regular sea salt, you will tame the heat perfectly. Do yourself a favor and head on over to firecracker.com. And here's the kicker.

This offers only for a limited time. Firecracker.farm and use code MK for 10% off. Okay, so just to reset, we have the 14th Amendment, which reads in part, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the U.S. and of the state wherein they reside.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Okay, so Trump comes out with his executive order that says, well, your kid is not a citizen if he is born here. If you, the mom—let's assume the dad doesn't have citizenship—if you, the mom— are here unlawfully, or if you're here lawfully, but temporarily. So if you're over here on some visiting student visa and you have a baby, it doesn't apply to your kid.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And certainly if you sneaked into this country or overstayed your visa, it does not apply to your kid. Well, 22 states immediately sued, along with some pregnant ladies, to say that executive order needs to be halted and that it violates the 14th Amendment. And on January 23rd, they got what they wanted. The U S district court judge, John. Koffenauer temporarily blocked the EO.

He's based in Seattle, but he's a Reagan appointee. And he wrote, there's a strong likelihood that the plaintiffs will succeed in the merits of their claims that this executive order violates the 14th Amendment. The New York Times reports that he said in court, this is a blatantly unconstitutional order.

Do you think big ag really wants any sort of mandate that requires them to change the way they do business? RFKJ had to promise that he would work with farmers and ranchers to push regenerative agriculture, which is better for you, retilling the soil and so on. And he said he would, but why can't we have the discussion? That's on the Republican side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Frankly, I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind. Now the debate is what does that term subject to the jurisdiction of the United States mean? And Trump's DOJ argues it does not mean you're simply here and subject to our regulatory power. Like you'd have to obey our laws.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It means you're here and you're subject to our quote political jurisdiction and have quote direct and immediate allegiance to the United States. So you're subject to our political jurisdiction. I don't know what that means. Does that mean you can vote here? And you have direct and immediate allegiance to the United States. Now,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Go ahead, Mike, because before we get to this 1898 case, Wong Kim Ark, there were two other cases that are in this Claremont Institute's John Eastman article in which the Supreme Court seemed to be suggesting, albeit in dicta, meaning not in the relevant sort of holding the important part of the case, that Trump's interpretation is correct.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
But then, as I understand it, we had a case in 1898 that, while not exactly on point in to those two pieces of his executive order provides the best fodder for the other side saying, no, it's a sweeping interpretation of who gets citizenship. You go.

They protect the farmers and the ranchers and the Dems and everybody else wants to protect big pharma. That big pharma ads were all over Fox when I was there. It's not just a leftist thing. The point is this has gone on for too long, too long. Stop with your obsessive focus on vaccines, which are not in danger. Listen to what he actually wants to do. And on that front, thank you.

Here is President Trump opining on some of what you just outlined in Sat 12. I think so.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So, Dave, here are the two cases that precede that 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, which will be used by the president's challengers, Wong Kim Ark. But as Mike points out, that case is distinguishable because it involved two permanent resident aliens. They were not... temporary lawful, but they were not lawful, but temporary. And they were not unlawful. Those are the two things that Trump's order covers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So even in that case that went to the Supreme court, they wouldn't have been bothered by Trump's department, uh, department of Homeland security. They would not have been, um, told that their son was not an American citizen. Okay, but here are the two cases that are cited in that Claremont Institute piece.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
They say, first of all, it all comes down to what does it mean subject to the jurisdiction thereof? And the argument is, is it a partial temporary jurisdiction that applies to anyone here temporarily except for diplomats who are subject to our laws while within our borders?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Or do they mean if you're in order to qualify as like subject to the jurisdiction, do they mean just those who are subject to a more complete jurisdiction, one which manifests itself as owing allegiance to the United States and not to any foreign power? And they say that we don't have to guess because the drafters of the 14th Amendment unambiguously stated that they meant complete jurisdiction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And they say the following. The Supreme Court confirmed that understanding, albeit in dicta, meaning not the actual holding of the case, in the first case addressing the 14th Amendment, noting in the slaughterhouse cases in 1872 that, quote,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
The phrase subject to its jurisdiction was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign states born within the United States. It then confirmed that understanding the 1884 case of Elk v. Wilkins, holding that the subject to the jurisdiction phrase...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
required that one be, quote, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.

Thank you to Senator Cassidy, whose office we targeted. There's no question in a totally legit way. You guys all called. You made it so that that line, that phone line was basically no longer good because you just kept calling. I called personally.

And he points out that the Supreme Court has never held that the children of illegal immigrants or even temporary, temporary lawful visitors are constitutionally entitled to automatic citizenship merely by birth, by virtue of their birth in the US.

The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I'm not sure. I've got to be honest about this. I started off when I interviewed Trump back in September of 23, I, I can't remember actually whether I raised this or didn't. It was on my list of questions. I know that. And I remember kind of laughing at the argument. Like I was like, this is so clear. It's so clearly against Trump being able to do this. Um, I think I did ask him about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I have to go back and look. Anyway, my point is I started off where you are, Dave, but I wound up where Mike is. Like the more I looked at it, the more I'm like, this actually is not that clear. You say there's hundreds of years of precedent. There's really only that one case that's been on the books since 1898, but they haven't been like reaffirming this over and over and over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
There's- As you know, there's going to be. Because somebody's going to... They've got these challenges filed in Seattle, and that'll go up. And probably Team Trump will potentially orchestrate a different challenge in a more favorable jurisdiction that will go their way, and then you'll have a conflict.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Or maybe they'll just ride it up through the Seattle system, which I think is Ninth Circuit, and they'll get an adverse ruling to them. And then they'll appeal to SCOTUS, hoping that they've got enough, they've got four, who will say that they should hear it. I just... What does the term subject to the jurisdiction thereof mean? Like, what's it doing in there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I called myself. I didn't do anything I didn't ask you to do. and emailed and said to him, please, please do this. We hear your concerns, but we're not worried about the same things you are. Please hear us on this guy. And if he turns out to be the kook that the critics say he is, Trump will fire him. All right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
If they just wanted to give citizenship to everybody, you know, who was born here, why wouldn't they have just said all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. are citizens of the U.S.? Why did they put in and subject to the jurisdiction thereof?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Well, I just don't know. I mean, if I if you look back at the Supreme Court's actual like we have to look, what did the Supreme Court say closer to the time that the Constitution was enacted and the 14th Amendment? And, you know, you go back to that 1872 case and they say in its dicta again, but they say that phrase subject to its jurisdiction intended to exclude.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
children of ministers, consuls, those are like foreign diplomats, and citizens or subjects of foreign states born within the United States, intended to exclude citizens of foreign states born within the United States. I mean, it wasn't so clear to the Supreme Court in 1872 that they were talking about more than diplomats' children. They were saying you're born to parents from another country,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You don't get the provisions of this. And then again, 1884, a similar case. And then you had that case that's problematic for Trump. But that that did not have the same fact pattern that had two people who are here legally and permanently. I just think anyway, if you if you come at it the way I came at it and you've just been told over and over and over again, this is no brainer.

I guess I just want people to know maybe not. I don't know whether this judge in Seattle has gotten neck deep in it either, but he's going to. OK, speaking of illegal immigration. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who is disgusting. I'm sorry, but the COVID overreach and the destructive, awful windmills are reason enough to dislike Phil Murphy.

He made this announcement just casually the other day that he's harboring an illegal. Now, he didn't say it explicitly, but there's really no other conclusion to reach from what he did say. I'll play it again. Here he is on Saturday.

RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Okay. Okay. So you tell me why the feds would come to get her if she's not an illegal. It's a very clear admission. He's harboring an illegal whose immigration status is not yet at the point that she's trying to get it to, but it's at a point at which the feds would try to get her. So it's an admission. He's definitely harboring an illegal, in my opinion, based on what he said. Now you tell me,

RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Have you ever seen a president more comfortable with firing bad actors or people who turn out to disappoint him? Fear not. He's not afraid of firing and replacing. So there's always that backstop. Just relax. He's trying something different. That's why he was elected. And you can make exactly the same argument on Tulsi Gabbard, who appears to have the votes as well.

Who in their right mind, Mike Davis, would take a look at Tom Homan and say, that's a guy I would like to mess with. I would really like to tempt Tom Homan to come after me because I think he's a weak, feckless man. This man, just for those of you playing at home, here's Tom Homan.

Who looks at him and says, I'd love to tempt the bull. I'm just going to take out my red cape and I'm going to wave it to see if Tom Holm is paying attention. Well, he is because he responded, this is on Hannity Monday night. It's not 13.

He really is one of those guys who you wake up like, am I legal? I'm legal, right? I'm good. I'm definitely legal. I don't have to worry about Tom Homan trying to get me out because he's getting you out if you're here unlawfully. Now, a Phil Murphy aide, Dave, tells the New York Post that the governor...

And with every single one of the 14 Republican senators falling in line, all 13 of the Dems voting no, he appears at this point to have the votes he needs to get through. It's amazing. It's a great day for America. They're melting down over him, not just on the left, but at some more conservative, traditional Republican places because they cannot get over his, quote, anti-vaccine positions.

He's so dumb. He already flagged it. He already read flagged it for Tom Homan. It's too late. Tom Homan's going to see what's in that upstairs apartment. I have no doubt of it. And honestly, if he finds an illegal in there, apparently she'll flee. I imagine she'd flee by the time Homan gets there. He's going to find out. Who was it? You can't avoid this. He's going to find out who it was.

The governor probably just insured that woman's deportation. And guess what else, Mike? The governor could potentially face felony charges. Here's the statute. 18, no, sorry, 8 U.S. Code Section 1324, bringing in and harboring certain aliens, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Quote, any person who knowingly or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, any such alien in any place shall be in prison not more than five years.

Which is more pathetic, Dave Ehrenberg. He had an illegal up there and he had this stupidity to threaten Tom Holman or he never had an illegal up there. And he's just tried to act like a badass, making up an imaginary illegal to try to look like a tough guy in front of Tom Holman.

Senator Todd Young, he he gave it to her pretty good at her confirmation hearing. He was clearly not a fan. Clearly, he's a Republican.

All right, let me ask the audience that. Do you believe Phil Murphy is harboring an illegal immigrant in the apartment above his garage? Or do you think he made it up to sound tough, like he could challenge Tom Homan? I am 100% in favor of he's harboring. He appears to have committed a felony.

We've talked a lot about RFKJ, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel over the past week. Their status as disruptors is a key component in the reasons why the D.C. establishment cannot stand them. And that brings us today to filmmaker Sean Stone. Sean's latest documentary series is called All the President's Men, The Conspiracy Against Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It is streaming right now on our pal Tucker Carlson on his network, the Tucker Carlson Network. Here's a clip from the series showing Kash Patel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
The series is a deep dive into the coordinated efforts by administration insiders and the media to take down Donald Trump during his first presidential term. It provides great insight into Cash, Tulsi, and RFKJ's agendas. Sean, welcome to the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
What a great idea and obviously very timely. So what was the biggest surprise to you in going after the story?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I commit to holding accountable and seeking justice against any Intel community employee contractor or subcontractor who is suspected of making or facilitating an unauthorized disclosure of any Intel program. I will not advocate for any protections, which should only be extended to lawful and legitimate whistleblowers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Can we talk about the Five Eyes situation? Because in about a half an hour, we're taping live right now on Sirius XM at 133 in the east. We're going to get, I believe, a positive vote on Tulsi Gabbard out of committee, which is great. But
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Some of the things that that she's spoken out about when it comes to the distrust of the Intelligence Committee right now amongst the American public did not go over well with the senators in that room, left or right. They all seemed adverse to her. They all seemed like, you know, I think they'd all wish that Trump had nominated somebody else.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
But can you just give people a flavor for what you're talking about? And so they know why. Why did Trump go with such a nontraditional pick?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So this is basically saying, if we have another Snowden, are you going to run cover for him? And she's saying, no. Okay, fine. And she said at her confirmation hearing over and over, what I'm going to do as soon as I get in there is create a meaningful avenue for any would be Snowden to come to me and to say, this is what we're doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Right, that's what happened in Tulsi. Yeah, exactly. So one of the interesting characters, I mean, we play that soundbite of Kash Patel, but one of the things I've just made a mental note of is he was working with Devin Nunes. They were looking at this Russian collusion nonsense saying like, this isn't right. This stinks. Right. And Cash is like this firebrand fighter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
He's a very colorful character. If you talk to him, he's just kind of fun to talk to and he doesn't mince words. I like him, but he's kind of fun and he's got flair, I guess is what I'm trying to say. And on the other side really was like, Robert Mueller, you know, James Comey, like these distinguished, respected old school prosecutors. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And so when, when there was this battle of like, who's telling the truth, you know, like is Trump a spy? Is Trump, does he have a server from Russia in Trump tower where they, as Don jr said, we couldn't even figure out how to order French fries, nevermind how to order the Russians around. Um, And then you see Cash is like this, like, yeah, this is bullshit. What's happening?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Like in Devin Nunes, he was kind of like a low level congressman. He was never even that high up. It's like but they were right. They were right. And it's really the reason why Cash Patel is about to be our next FBI director. You have something in the in one of the episodes about Cash figuring out. who is behind the vaunted Steele dossier?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You know, the one that talked about Trump's ties to Russia and how he had the prostitutes urinate on the bed. Trump, the germaphobe, wanted somebody to pee in front of him. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And here's a bit of that, of how that went down, from episode four, SOT29.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And I will make sure it is meaningful and we won't have to have another Snowden. And this is the second piece of it saying, and then if somebody doesn't obey this process and goes outside of it and goes to the news media in the way Snowden does, I will commit to holding them accountable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So just for the people who haven't been consuming Russiagate recently, they're talking about how the Steele dossier This made up piece of alleged intelligence was the basis for getting a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. It was like they used this made up piece of intel to get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Yet another reason why these FISA warrants became controversial and were mentioned repeatedly in the Tulsi Gabbard hearing as though they're totally vaunted. They're above reproach. You have to love them. You have to support them. You know, she's expressed some reservations about how we've used FISA in the past. So have many others. Anyway, this is all the background to that in part.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And then him asking, well, who's behind the dossier? I don't trust that. I definitely don't like the warrant. And I don't trust the dossier. That was the basis of the warrant. And oh, my God, it's the Hillary Clinton campaign. Like he says, the the aha moment, the moment you will remember where you were.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Then the second paragraph, I commit to working with the committee to evaluate whether existing laws, regulations, and policies are sufficient to deter an Intel community employee, contractor, or subcontractor from making an unauthorized disclosure of any Intel program.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
very interesting, very interesting perspective. I, I know that. So we, I mentioned in the intro, you are a stone, you are the son of Oliver stone. And I just permit me this one moment because your dad has made some of the greatest movies, including wall street. I loved wall street.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
We'll talk about JFK, but I didn't realize you were in wall street, little, little you, uh, as an actor and you played Gordon gecko's son, Rudy, here you are in this clip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I will have confirmed, communicate explicitly to the Intel community, my commitment to holding accountable and seeking justice against any violator of existing laws, regs, et cetera. They're really, really focused on Snowden. that I will not, contrary to a statement on X on June 3rd, 2019, protect any Intel community employee, contractor, or subcontractor who commits an unauthorized disclosure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Do you have any conscious memory of that movie, being in that movie?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Yeah. Oh, that's a sweet picture of the two of you together. And you're over the camera. One more, and then I'll stop with this torture. But you also played the son of Kevin Costner's character, Jim Garrison, in JFK. And in this following scene, you're being held by Sissy Spacek. No lines, but you're in this. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Okay, so who do you remember as nicer, Kevin Costner or Michael Douglas?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
But if you like them, it's a very good testimony on their behalf because kids, they have a radar for disingenuous people, people who are pretending to be cool or like be good with kids. They just sense they can see right through it. So if you have a good feeling about them, they probably are good guys. Um, Your dad, obviously there's a reason he made JFK.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And this has been one of the preeminent films of the past 50 years. It's just one of the biggies. It's legendary. It got so many people reconsidering the JFK assassination. And now one of his first acts as president by Trump was to order the release of the remaining JFK files. They say maybe there's 3% that has yet to come out. There's a reason it's been withheld.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I imagine you're very curious to see what's in there, but you tell me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
They do not want any alleged whistleblower getting any sort of protection. I mean, the truth is it's more complicated than they're making. I mean, of course, you're sitting here thinking, well, I don't think I want that. I don't want to blow our secrets. I don't want to endanger our spies. But as you know, it's more complicated than that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
People don't generally write the smoking gun down in writing and keep it in a record. They usually hide the smoking gun. Last but not least, I must ask you, because looking at your biofacts, I love this. Sean Stone starred in and directed his first feature film, Greystone Park, in 2012, based on his real-life paranormal experiences in a haunted mental hospital. What?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I have a property under there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You were a patient in a haunted mental hospital, or you went to document what was happening, and you experienced the paranormal?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That's the whole other one that we have to consume. That actually really sounds fascinating. But first, you've got to check out his latest venture for Tucker Carlson on the Tucker Carlson Network. I mean, it's doing what's been out there for a while, right? And it's called All the President's Men.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You know, some of what Snowden revealed or turned over to journalists is very controversial. We talked about that with Glenn, but some of it was exposing a program that we had our top officials lying about that did capture within its net Americans. And our metadata, things about like where we were and so on, very controversial.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Of course, a take on the famous other film by that name, All the President's Men, the Tucker Carlson Network. Congratulations, Sean. That's awesome.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
You can't be so dismissive of them that you miss the ones that are real and are there before your very eyes. Sean Stone, thank you. See you soon. Appreciate it. Fascinating. Check it out. All the President's Ben over on the Tucker Carlson Network. We're back tomorrow with the fifth column. We'll see you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And you had, you know, people like James Clapper under oath lying about it. So that's what, you know, the Snowden situation is complicated. They're wanting assurances from her that would apply to a case that's extremely clear cut, right? Where the person is about to violate our confidences and endanger our spies and there's no reason to do it. I'm not sure about these assurances.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
I know she had to give them. Believe me, I'm probably more against Snowden than I am on the Glenn Greenwald side of things. Tucker and Glenn and all these people have been advocating for a Snowden pardon. I'm not there. But I understand Tulsi's position and I understand why he did what he did. And I don't know that there should be this hardcore rule that we're never going to
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
consider like the real whistleblower status of somebody if they want to do a Snowden, if they want to pull a Snowden. Again, I'm not on his side for the record, but... whatever. And then they go on from there. The bottom line is Tulsi looks like she's got the votes. We're going to know in a couple of hours. And this is all great because Trump is trying to do things differently.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Again, it just goes back to Trump is trying to do things differently. Tulsi's right. They do not trust the Intel community. The American people do not trust the Intel community. They've proven themselves to be extremely political in their operations and their maneuvers. And We need an intel community that we actually do trust and believe in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Like, why did the CIA in the course of 24 hours change from the COVID virus came from a pangolin to it came from a lab over the course of 24 hours from Biden's presidency to Trump's? Why'd they do that? Why were they saying they believed it came from an animal, from a natural resource? And then 24 hours later, after Trump takes office, they say, okay, it came from a lab. Hello, we don't trust you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
We know you're being manipulated. You're pushing somebody else's business. I mean, there's been a lot that's happened with our intel services. And if we can get somebody in there who is almost slightly adverse to them, okay? She's not, but in a way she is. She's not on bended knee to them. And she's not above questioning them. then good, good. Maybe that will lead to real reform.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
Well, you're going to have to try. Try. Go listen to the two hours I did with him on the vaccines. Do your homework. Figure out just how anti-vaccine he really is and whether some of the questions he's been raising about them make sense. And then...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And again, if it doesn't, if Trump is dissatisfied with his presidential daily brief, if he thinks Chelsea's falling down on the job, he will fire her. So just calm down. Yeah, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled that these two look like they're in. Kash Patel is obviously going to get in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And that means Trump should have all of his nominees and it should happen pretty quickly because he needs them in place. You know, we're we've already seen confusion over OMB. You know, we saw the terrible plane crash. Thank God Sean Duffy had been confirmed. But it's like he'd been confirmed earlier that day. If something were to happen in the intel field, God forbid, we had a terrorist attack.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
He needs his people in place. We all know that he's going to get his people. Republicans should not drag their feet. He has a mandate. Let's go. All right, let's go. Trump's been firing off these executive orders by the day. As you know, they're beautiful. Love, love the Trump EOs. But as a lawyer, you get paid not to look at a situation and say, ah, that'll never happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
But to look at a situation and say, that's absolutely going to happen. And how do I protect against it? And that's the purpose of the next discussion we're going to have. What how are the Democrats going to challenge these executive orders and how will Team Trump protect against it? The ban on DEI, his order against gender transition procedures and end to birthright citizenship.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
That's already been challenged in court and more. And for all of that, we've got two of our favorites back with us in a whole new era of political legal news. Dave Ehrenberg, former state attorney for Palm Beach County, Florida, managing partner of Dave Ehrenberg Law and host of Court Authorities on YouTube. And Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article 3 Project.

No matter what your answer is to that, push it to the side and come to terms with the fact that Trump has said he will not be banning the MMR vaccine. He's not going to be banning any of these vaccines. He will object to some of them if he finds some to be problematic.

Awesome. Well, good for you. And thank you for your service. Dem side or not, I greatly appreciate you doing the job because it's not easy. Certainly not easy to be a DA. A lot of responsibility. Okay. So great to see you both. You're the perfect team to talk about this with. I confess, Mike Davis, that with each EO, I'm like, yes.

RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
And then I'm like, because you can you can feel the filings coming down against them. And that's where they're all they'll all play out. Right. Like each one of these is going to get challenged. All right. So where to begin? Let's start with the Trump executive orders that target DEI. Um, that's the most sweeping one.

RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It's the January 21 ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit based opportunity, which by the way, is the perfect name for it because we already have laws on the books that make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race. And that doesn't mean you can discriminate against whites. It means you can't discriminate against anyone based on their skin color, based on their race.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and our new normal. So much news overnight to bring you. We begin with the single biggest issue of the Trump 2024 campaign, the promises on which he's making good by the day, securing the U.S. southern border and fixing our broken immigration system.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
What kind of incentives, if any, should they be potentially offered to make them self-deport? I've heard smart people say, we don't want to pay these people anything, but if you calculate what it takes Tom Homan and team, all the agencies you just named. you know, on a, on a per immigrant basis, it's a lot of money that we're expanding to go after these guys.

What if we could come up with a way to like, I don't know, I'm just picking a random number, like two grand. If you return to Guatemala, you know, here's a big check waiting for you. Get out and get down there and we'll work with the government to make sure these people get paid. I know it sounds outrageous to pay, but like better just to get them out of the country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993

What do you how would you describe what our military is doing right now? Because they're not allowed to do law enforcement. But I hear that they're that, you know, they can drive trucks at the southern border. They can transport people or things. So how do you see the military helping now?

How dangerous is this work? You know, we saw just this past weekend in, uh, it looks like front in Texas. There was a, an exchange of gunfire between us border patrol agents on Monday. This was near the U S Mexican border. Um, nobody was actually hit, but these are suspected cartel members. I just can't imagine. And here we have some video.

Tom, I have to ask you, it's not just Selena Gomez. I know you've seen the clip of her crying and she got so much blowback from her fans, her 422 million number followers on Instagram that she deleted it. But I really, you're the best person to ask about what she and others like her are missing. She purports to be so concerned about the children who Tom Homan and his team are going to deport.

Tom, we watched you at a hearing, it happened years ago, across from Representative Chuy Garcia, who was taking issue with your tough-on-the-border approach and suggesting you had no heart and actually asked you, have you ever held a child in your arms?

The way that they're going after him, though, is to suggest he is making a lot of money by referrals to big law firms. He himself is a lawyer. That's how he's paid his bills for the past 40 years.

Because let's face it, Trump, Dan, didn't have some love for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He wasn't like, God, I've got to have that guy. He went to him. That happened because RFKJ had something to bring to the table. He'd already been building a movement which wasn't exactly labeled MAHA yet. That hadn't yet happened. He spent his whole life in the public health field just as a lawyer.

seemingly optimistic world at our fingertips, 20s and 30s folks celebrating Trump's win and the promise that it brings for what again? America. That's for you, Captain. And what we got from New York Magazine was a smear piece that tried to tell us they're racists and and cropped the picture to eliminate the black participants.

So look at the larger picture, the larger spread that appeared inside the magazine, but not on the cover, where you can see on screen left, there are one, two, three, at least four black men who have been cropped out of the picture. It's really shocking. I mean, I guess it's not that shocking, but it's an obvious hit piece on MAGA.

And what they've actually wound up doing, and I do mean they, because the person who wrote this uses the pronoun they, I'm sorry, but they is taken, Brock Collier. They is not available to you. I think Brock is a he going by they. I refuse. I'm going to call you he. Brock thinks he has it all figured out.

And then I guess if he just puts a bunch of beautiful white people on the cover of New York Magazine, it's going to make us hate MAGA. What I think is going to happen is young, bitter, shaved head leftists with their little blue bracelets and their huge glasses are going to look at these youthful, gorgeous, glowing, optimistic world at their fingertips, young people and say, I wish I could get in.

Mm hmm. I read that you think the Illinois governor and the Chicago public school CEO, Pedro Martinez, owe you an apology for spreading these lies. They came out and said, well, you read in part with what the governor said, but he said after a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school targeting children and separating families.

I want in with that cruel, with that not cruel, cool crowd and not look at them as the cruel table because the evidence of cruelty is they say the word retard and they're not sorry. Okay. That is a backlash against wokeism where people have had it with having their language policed.

Um, this guy, I think tried to win me over and stopped me from doing the segment at the end where he tried to compliment this show saying he had apparently taken to it. Um, I have no idea really what it was, but he was saying that these folks no longer have any patience for identity warriors. He said, a friend and I started swapping clips of MK on Instagram. We thought they were hilarious.

Our favorite was her take on the fires in LA. The last thing I want to see if I'm burning in a burning building is a, a woman and be an obese woman. You're almost there, but In any event, they still don't get MAGA. They don't get old MAGA. They don't get middle MAGA. They don't get young MAGA. And that is why they will continue to lose and remain rudderless, as we discussed with Dan Turrentine.

The what actually wound up happening was it was Secret Service responding to a specific threat reportedly that they had received from a school. And they just decided that it was ice and to demonize you and your team because they have political reasons for doing that.

Um, let me talk to you a bit about the numbers because 600,000 people who you know of who are here illegal and on top of it, uh, have committed crimes. And then 1.4 million, you said people who were adjudicated no on their asylum claims, but then we didn't throw them out. We just said, Oh, well you didn't get asylum, but then Joe Biden did nothing.

So they just went on living their merry lives in the States. So that's 2 million right there. And then that doesn't even count all the others, right? Who just sneaked across the border and we know they're here, but we don't know where they are. So this is where I start to get depressed, Tom.

I listen to you talk and I feel uplifted, but then I start to get depressed because even though you guys are doing Yeoman's work and you're finally all working together, let's call it a thousand a day. You know, that's, it's not quite there, but let's just call it a thousand a day. And I did a little math, which is a stretch for me. That brings us to 365,000 in a year times four years.

Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
That brings us to 1.46 million. So that's less than the two million we just discussed, those first two groups, over four years, over Trump's four years, which makes me think, ah, how are we going to get all these people out? You know, we're talking between 12 and 20 million illegals in the country right now. I know it's big, but how do we digest those numbers?

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We have a lot to get to today, but before we do, I have some good and exciting news that I want to share with you. And it has to do with all of you getting a lot more content from some of our and your favorite guests of The Megyn Kelly Show.

I'm so excited about these three. Aren't these a great three to launch with? They cover the gamut, right? It's like Link has got such a following amongst young, sort of right-leaning people or independent-minded people who have just had it with the weird left. I hear from so many young people who are like, I love Link. He's got such a following. Maureen, do I even need to say anything? I mean...

By the way, I think we're T minus like 72 hours before Jeffrey Goldberg releases it anyway with maybe a couple of things redacted. But I don't think he's going to stay in this like I'm above it all and I won't release it. He just I don't think he can help himself.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Yeah, good point. Here's some more Democrat anger. It's genuine anger, I'm sure, like the kind they showed when Lloyd Austin went AWOL for days without telling anybody where he was. Oh, no, wait, that never happened. Here is Michael Bennett of Colorado sparring with, again, CIA Director Ratcliffe on who added Jeffrey Goldberg to the group.

And let's remember, OK, what did they do? They discussed war plans, which went off without a hitch while inadvertently ceasing a reporter. No one's claiming this is a good thing. However, it's like in the same people who could barely muster any outrage. I mean, truly not barely who really in many cases didn't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
muster outrage at all for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, for Abbey Gate, for actual military debacles that have happened in the recent past. They said nothing. They weren't outraged. But now they want us to believe that they're really horrified that one reporter got a heads up on an action against the Houthis. I don't buy it, Walter.

Meanwhile, all Vance said was, I'm not sure the president is aware of how inconsistent this move is with his stated goals, which is make the Europeans start paying their fair share. He wasn't saying the president is wrong to do this. He's saying, is he aware of, for example, the 40% that Europe uses these channels versus the 3% that we do? He wasn't like, Trump's an idiot. Trump's wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
He was like, I don't know whether the president knows this stuff. They're having lunch today, pre-scheduled, but- Vance and Trump. But the White House is making clear there's absolutely no daylight between these two. And I will say this. I'd love to talk to you guys about the messaging now because my own take on it is Trump, as usual, is hitting just the right tone in handling. He's like...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Walls is a good guy. Made a mistake. He'll learn, you know, like it's fine. He's he seems to totally have Mike Walls is back. That was said directly to a couple of reporters this morning. Peter Doocy was one of them. And who was the other one, Steve, who got it was an NBC reporter. Oh, Garrett. Hey, yeah. In the gaggle. Do we have that on cam Trump's tone? We do, I think. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
No, we don't have that. Oh, because it wasn't on cam. But yesterday he came out. He's like, I'm just learning about this for the first time today. I think he's nailed it where he's like, yeah, you know, it's a mistake. The operation went off perfectly. And Mike Walls is a good guy. I would say, I think Pete Hegseth, who I really care about, but I think he's a little too defensive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
He's probably feeling a little like, whoa. He's like, they're not war plans. I didn't text war plans. It's coming down to like a debate over semantics. Do we care? Like, personally, I don't really care if he texted him like a blueprint with like, and then the F-16 is going to come in here. And then if they do this, we'll do that.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
He was somebody who, you know, I always talk about how I'm doing my makeup or I'm cleaning my house or something while I'm listening to podcasts. Mark Halpern's the kind of commentator where you just stop the other thing and you just listen, and sometimes you rewind it to hear it again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
I mean, imagine that's what an actual war plan looks like, but I have no idea. Or if it's just we're going to overwhelm them with the following air power. We've also got an aircraft carrier in there, you know, like the general things that you would be telling the Tulsi's of the world and the J.D. 's of the world to generally let them know how large or small this thing is going to be.

So what do you make of the the the tone and the tenor of the messaging from those who are on defense today?

And as the member Gary Johnson, what is Aleppo? What is an MSNBC running for president?

He's extremely well-connected, very well-researched, and just a very, very stand-up guy when it comes to his political journalism. I mean, you can just take it to the bank. And so I'm thrilled that we're going to be getting into business with these three and helping promote their independent podcasts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
It's just because of their numbers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
I will say this, Doug Brunt, my husband, was not that long ago pulled over by a cop on his way home from dropping the kids off at school. And the cop said, do you know what you did? And Doug said, yep, I did a little bit of a rolling stop at that stop sign. The cop was like, Thank you. Thank you for admitting it and let him go. To your point, Walter, I pardon you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
He showed benevolence and it was the ultimate power move. In Doug's defense, it's a very safe intersection. Most people come to a rolling stop, but Doug Brunt doesn't anymore because now you only get one pass out of that problem for free. In any event, this will, I think, be blown over in probably another day or two at the most. It is interesting, though, that they are already using Signal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
You heard Ratcliffe saying that in his testimony that we got to the CIA and found out that they're using a signal all over these government devices. It was used by the Biden administration. We've confirmed that, too. They said, oh, but, you know, rarely. Well, I don't know whether that's true or not. Right. It's like maybe they didn't make the stupid mistake of copying in a reporter from Fox News.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
But look, if this is something that they don't want to have happen, it should be stricken from all administrations, not just the Republican ones. All right, let's keep going because there's a lot a lot to get through today. The matter of whether Trump was allowed to deport all these alleged trend to Aragua gang members on three flights, only two of which are at issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Here's I can understand one flight's not at issue because nobody on it was being deported under the Alien Enemies Act. Two flights are at issue because the people on board were all being deported, at least in part. due to Trump's invocation of that act and his powers under it, which say if you're at war or you're suffering an invasion or some sort of incursion, the president can declare that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Well, Congress has to declare war, but the president can declare the other two and then classify people as parts of it. uh, you know, sort of enemy actors, and then they can be deported without due process. That's what's so appealing to the Trump administration about the alien enemies act. You can boot them really kind of no questions asked, get out. I've actually just been looking into this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Maybe immigration lawyers have this on the, at the ready, but here's the story under the, um, OK, under the regular immigration law where we have expedited deportation, expedited removal, you can kick somebody out if you catch him at the border. That was true for a long time under Trump, under Obama, under Biden.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
So thanks to all of you for helping make that possible for us to not just grow our show, but to help grow other shows. We're not done. By the way, you're gonna be able to find these shows on there. They'll have their own podcast feeds under those names and their own YouTube channels and their own social media accounts. And we're gonna help them build all of those. But that's not all we're doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
These agents who catch somebody sneaking across the border, they don't have to, like, let them have a whole hearing. Just get out. I caught you. Go back home. Kick them out. They're entitled to nothing. No due process. Nothing. OK. And it's under this expedited removal power. And it usually applies to about 100, 100 miles around the southern border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Well, Trump, as he did in Trump 1.0, has expanded it by executive order to reach pretty much all of the United States to where our border agents like Tom Homan, if they find you and they I don't know what the standard is, probable cause, most likely to believe that you're a Venezuelan gang member can remove you. No questions asked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
The downside of using just that expedited removal power, which is being challenged legally, is that if the person says, I'm seeking asylum, I'm seeking asylum, you have to give them the asylum hearing. It slows the whole thing down. These illegals take advantage of that. They're not really seeking asylum. They came through four different other countries where they could have gotten asylum.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
They just want to be here. Anyway, that's why Trump decided to invoke this Alien Enemies Act, which does not allow the asylum escape hatch. And what's happening right now in courts is there's a debate about whether these people deported by Trump under their Alien Enemies Act are entitled to any level of due process. before we declare them Venezuelan gang members.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
No one's talking about striking down the Alien Enemies Act, which has already been upheld by the US Supreme Court and the Supreme Court has held there's no right to judicial review of most of the president's decisions under that act. But what's being discussed and argued both at the district court level with this Judge Boasberg and yesterday at the Court of Appeals for the D.C.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Circuit, a three judge panel, one judge, an Obama appointee, one a George H.W. Bush appointee and one a Trump appointee is. Do these people get any sort of due process before we label them Venezuela gang members and then put them on these planes? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

MK Media is gonna continue to expand. We're in talks with a bunch of folks and we will have more announcements to come soon. Some beyond just news and entertainment, by the way. More on that as we launch these other programs. Look, what I'm basically looking to do

is to help promote more sane, reasonable, and ideally entertaining people who have unique perspectives and the courage to say the truth, right? It's like, I'm extremely grateful for the platform that we have and the audience that we have, but I also think it's important to... The only thing I can think is the terrible Barack Obama phrase of spread the wealth around, but what I mean is just...

,,,,,, ,,,,,,, And I think at some level, while Judge Boasberg may not be fully thinking of this yet, Matt, the Supreme Court will be because Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts knows better than anybody. There's no police power behind the courts. They we we abide by their rulings out of a sense of duty, neighborliness, order, integrity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
You want a lot of options, right? You want to hear somebody, for example, a Maureen in the cultural lane who devotes a whole show to that, just ripping on all the big stories of the day that we don't always get to on a show like this one. That's maybe a little harder news focused.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
You know, we do a lot of culture, but it'll be great to have somebody singularly focused like that, that we can help promote. Mark too, he's almost all hard news. He doesn't really do a lot of the culture stuff. Link, he does it all, but he loves culture. He's a little younger and I think speaks to a different audience. Anyway, it's just all coming together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
nationality, patriotism, and acceptance of a system where there is a separation of powers. But if there's too egregious an overreach, and I don't support flouting the Supreme Court mandates in their laws, for the record. But I'm just saying Chief Justice Roberts knows better than anybody that if they issue an order as specific and as extraordinary as that to the sitting commander in chief,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
it could destroy the court's power. In one ruling, it could completely destroy the Supreme Court.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
and they know it. So it's like, okay, it's one thing to say those you now have in custody have to be provided the following screening, this bare minimum of so-called due process. But the odds of them getting back those people in El Salvador are very thin, slim. And by the way,
The Megyn Kelly Show

Trump did return a guy from Nicaragua and a woman who had erroneously both been put on those flights when they had meant only to get these Venezuelan gang members. So it's not like there's been no screening or no double-checking of what Homan is doing. They're making sure. It's just how much scrutiny are they entitled to? There's a couple of additional points on this that I do want to get to.

So we are talking about what Tom Homan said, what Trump is doing, and whether this is a political winner for him, irrespective of what happens at the courts. This would help. This would help Tom. I mean, Trump. As John Harwood, former White House correspondent for CNN, worked for the New York Times, NBC, and so on, okay, tweets out the following. Tom Homan...

is like an early 20th century Southern sheriff who would send a mob to find a black kid who had allegedly looked the wrong way at a white woman. The mob would bring back a kid who kind of sort of fit the description and the Homan character would say, string him up with an exclamation point. That is where he went with Tom Homan asking, where was Lake and Riley's due process, Walter?

It's absurd. And here's the interesting thing about this. Americans are actually really kind and nurturing and welcoming and they're caretakers. I think they have a natural tendency to be caretakers. And so that whole, give us your tired, your poor and all that, that works on the Statue of Liberty. It worked on us for hundreds of years.

And it worked on us all the way up to about four years ago when Joe Biden took it to a place no one had ever taken it to before and just opened the borders. I mean, it was just absolutely dangerous what he did. It was absolutely, it was treasonous. That's how it feels, truly.

I don't throw that term around loosely, but the jeopardy that he put us all in and the lives that have been cost from that decision, there's just no question he should be held accountable. in any event. And so the American public have had it. They've had it with this debate. The Democrats have lost it. It's one of the reasons why their party is in the toilet right now on its approval ratings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
So the American public is behind Trump on this issue above all others. Well, this and the trans issue, they're really behind Trump. And this is why I asked my team to pull this clip. Now, hold on. I'm going to set this up. I saw a really interesting tweet thread, whatever, post thread on X a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago.

And the, forgive me, I don't remember who started it, but the guy was saying, post here pictures or clips of people who are portrayed as villains in movies who you now no longer think are. right? With like just the dramatic changes that have happened in our country over the past 10 to 20 plus years. Who do you now see who was depicted so poorly in film as not a villain who you were told was?

That's right. And I don't really care if you have to give a few code reds to do it, Tom Homan, Colonel Jessup. I mean, I kind of think, Walter, we're all Colonel Jessup now, or at least in the mood for a Colonel Jessup.

The long and the short of it is a group of Trump's top security officials, Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, Mike Walz, National Security Advisor, and J.D. Vance, our vice president, and others were on a group text chain that I think involved 19 people in total.

No, Lieutenant Weinberg, your time is up. We are over the soft leadership stuffed into a military outfit without ever having done a three mile run. We need the Jessups of the world right now, Matt. And I don't know what's gonna happen with the trend to Aragua gang deportations. I certainly hope the Trump administration wins this. But let's just say they get their hands slapped by some court.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
It doesn't matter. It's all worth it. We're setting up the protocols, like how far can Trump push it to get rid of these people that Joe Biden let in? And it's the same thing as like the signal gate that we kick the show off with. For the Democrats who said nothing about the floodgates being opened, I have almost no tolerance for their objections in how we now get rid of these people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
You know, you... You've lost your moral standing to complain about any of it. You caused this entire problem, which Trump is now trying to fix and the country wants desperately to fix.

And Mike Walz appears to have been the one, though not totally confirmed, who added, clearly accidentally, the Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. who's just, I mean, of all people to add, just the worst person. You know how many stories he's gotten wrong? Let me put it to you this way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
And of course, the media wants us to believe that they're all these like sweet asylum seeking good people who just want a better life in America. And that's baloney. I mean, yes, there's some portion. And we do have asylum processes that would allow those folks if they enter through a port of entry to claim asylum. But it's been so abused that right now everything's paused right now.

We're going to have to do a part two on that with Matt Taibbi. Maureen, bad news. You're out. Matt Taibbi's in. Okay. So today they had on and I really like Jim Rutenberg. I have to say he's a good guy, but he's a lefty and everything he writes or says comes from that perspective. So that's just the way it is. He used to be the Times critic, like media critic.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
And he's profiled me a couple of times. That's how I got to know him. Anyway, I think he's a sweet guy, but this is his worldview, right? He comes on to talk to the host. I think it was Michael Barbaro today. And yeah, it was. And they were talking about the state of the media under Trump and how horrifying it is. They're horrified about how Trump has seems to have like taken over media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
I'm just going to give you a few samples of this. There's so much to choose from. I guess I'll start. What do you think, Steve? Sot 10. You guys pick your fave because we have a bunch that we love. Watch.

He thinks that Mark Milley is a patriot and wrote a whole article calling him the patriot for his promise to betray the sitting president of the United States and to tell the Chinese if we ever decided to plan some attack on them. That would be treason. That would be punishable by death. It's not something that makes you a patriot unless you're Jeffrey Goldberg, and that's how you see that.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
No, but what would it be like, Walter? If only... The Democrats have to look at Trump and think, gee, what would life be like if we had outlets that just said what we want them to? That were just like... reliably in our corner and doing our bidding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
The New York Times, Walter, is asking this question as though they haven't been doing this for the Democrats since, well, at least the past 50, 40 years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
That's so true. Think about what happened just the other week. We showed the clip where it was like Black History Day and Trump had the CEO of Pfizer, among others, at the White House. And Trump was like, hey, the CEO of Pfizer. And, you know, this is the ardent Trump faithful at the White House. They were like, boo, boo, boo. Trump, it is bottom up. They love Trump, but he doesn't control them.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
They have their own strong feelings on the right about him, his policies, who they're going to applaud, who they're going to boo. But before I get you to weigh in, Matt, I got to get in some of this other sound because it's also delicious. There's more of the same point being made in a discussion about X. Listen here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Okay. Okay. Matt, that X was completely controlled by leftists since its iteration, since it was first born till two years ago, right? Facebook, same. Zuckerberg's had a new sort of revelation that he's, I guess, more right-leaning than we knew. But Facebook has been completely left-leaning, at least in its core politics, right? Go down the list, all the social media, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Like where's the discussion on how threads and blue sky are just democratic echo chambers now, you know, like not to mention outside of social media, actual media, which other than this one digital lane is entirely controlled by leftists.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
And that's how you see all stories involving Trump or any Republican. So the fact that he got added is a nightmare. There are some people saying Mike Walls is a neocon. That's why he had Jeffrey Goldberg. Can I tell you, if you saw the people in my contacts, you wouldn't know what to think. You'd be so confused.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Hashtag part of the problem. I'll give you one more. Stop 14. Again, back to Nixon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
Walter, that's called the Internet. That's called the Internet. OK, but do you tell me, has there been a modern president who's made himself more accessible to the mainstream media than this one? He has them in every day and lets them do a gaggle or holds a presser. He takes questions from all of them. He gets annoyed at one or the other, like the AP and says, all right, you no longer be in pool.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
because in Mike Walz's position as a guy who's been in politics forever, or in Jeffrey Goldberg's, frankly, you have a lot of contacts. You meet people, they give you their contact, you put it in there, you never know when you might need them or you might need to yell at them in Mike Walz's case with Goldberg.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
He takes questions from all of them. When he ran, he went on Theo Vaughn. He did Joe Rogan. He did Sean Ryan. He's not talking to those guys now. They're not breaking news on Trump. He's talking only right now to these mainstream. And they're still mad that the others exist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
It's crazy because they talk about like, they're so obsessed, of course, with Watergate. And, you know, I grew up, I watched all the president's men. It was one of the reasons I wanted to become a journalist, not because they took down a Republican, but because that was spoon fed to all of us for decades as like the ultimate example of, of journalism at its core, like risk it all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
You're in danger. You're onto a great story. Everything around you is being threatened, but you stay on it like a dog with a bone. And then ultimately you take down a president. It was a crazy story. Only in retrospect, you look back and you're like, Oh, that was the media doing what it does, like trying to take down a Republican. Only this one they can't get to, Matt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
But the same thing that makes them like, he texted war plans to Jeffrey Goldberg. And Trump is the devil who won't speak to any mainstream media sources, even though he does it literally every day. His oxygen is speaking to any and all reporters, but they won't see it. No, he's Nixon. He's got to control them all or he won't give us access.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
It's so funny to see their own bias just completely blind them to what's actually happening in front of them.

Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
I don't think you can draw any conclusions from the fact that he had him in the contacts and we don't know who he was trying to add. but clearly he made a mistake. And now the left is treating this like we had a nuclear meltdown as a result of inappropriate group messaging on Signal. And I'll just start by saying this. If it were me and I were the administration, I think I would have just said,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
I got another one. Follow up with you on that, Matt. Another piece of the broadcast today, their show was about how. He's doing this, right, going around, around the mainstream to these alternate sources. But secondly, he's cracking down on the mainstream.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
And they cite the ABC News settlement for $15 million with him, which was required because their lead political anchor repeatedly said Donald Trump had been found liable for rape. which is defamatory and false by any measure. As a lawyer and a journalist, I can tell you, we'd all be in deep shit if we said that, and it's not true about somebody. Then they cite
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
CBS, because Trump filed this lawsuit against them for their editing of the Kamala Harris thing, which I already said in the show I thought was bullshit, a bullshit case. But he's trying to rattle their cage a bit. And he filed it in Texas where they have more favorable laws on consumer fraud, etc., whatever. He wound up getting that transcript produced. And 60 Minutes was somewhat embarrassed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
It wasn't like the worst switcheroo of answering I've ever seen in my life, but they were somewhat embarrassed by, it was clear they did run cover for Kamala, tried to make her look a little better than she did. But the way they talked about it, Matt, it was like, Rutenberg was like, And this is 60 minutes. So he sued them and they're caving. CBS is caving.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Bizarre Group Chat Details, Media Compares Trump to Nixon, and MK Media Launch, with Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi | Ep. 1034
And you're talking about like one of the most respected broadcasts in America. And they're still, they're still so hard charging and tough at 60. In no way was he recognizing what the rest of us see. It was just 60 is a shadow of its former self. It's a joke. today versus when it had murderer's row with Wallace and Bradley and the restaurant, they just, they don't, they genuinely don't see it.

Mm hmm. By the way, I too am obsessed with the music that was on the radio during my high school and college years. We recently went to a basketball game and I came out singing one of the songs. I love this song. And I admit to you, I never paused to ask myself, what does this actually mean? Until my kids were like, mom, do you know what that means? And that song was OPP. Yeah.

Abigail Finan doesn't know either. You down with OPP? Yeah, you know me. And let's just say in the second verse, he says something like the lady, the ladies OPP means something different. The first letter is the same, but the last is something different. Then he says something like, um, I can't, he won't say it, but he says something like it's other people's.

when we fought back against the Houthis in Yemen, that was a huge success. We took out a bunch of Houthi leadership. We threatened Iran. It went off without a hitch. It's true, it could have gone poorly if Mike Walz had CC'd Iran. I'm guessing that's probably not a contact he just would have abbreviated on there. But in any event, It didn't go badly.

It didn't get leaked to anybody other than, yes, a guy who hates Republicans, but doesn't necessarily hate America because he did nothing to undermine the mission. So that's where it is.

She's absolutely disgusted that now they are, quote, being invited to reapply for new jobs, but that this has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because... It's not the right way to treat people. And it's inefficient and it's unnecessary.

And it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work. And so we don't generally do things that way. All right. And she goes on. But in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts. It's off the charts. And I'll get to that in one second. So here she is trying to be like the person I...

I feel for the little guy. I'm the one who's not, I don't really care mostly about Joy. I care about Joy's staff because they're the good people who are now wondering what's going to happen to them. And indeed, they were told that they're laid off reportedly, that they could reapply for a new position on a different show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
But obviously, NBC News had had it with the messaging coming off of that show at seven. And they're 100% right that not only did Joy Reid need to go, but the whole staff needed to go. Obviously, what kind of a lunatic would stay working for Joy Reid if they did not believe what she's saying?

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I mean, as I said not long ago, the woman tried to start a race war multiple times, including right after Trump won. There's just, yes, I'm sorry, but you all have to go. You all have the stank of her racist viewpoints and hatred of America all over you. Good luck getting any other job. Maybe you'll find one at MSNBC, but Maddow's not wrong. You probably won't find one if not there.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
So yeah, but here's Rachel. She's so upset. She's so upset about the fact that there are layoffs. Meanwhile, you know why there are layoffs? You know why Joy Reid finally lost her job? You know why Alex Wagner lost hers? Because of you, Rachel Maddow. Because of you and your colleagues who completely destroyed the credibility of your entire network. You, more than anyone, did that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Yes, Joy Reid is a racist race baiter who hates the country. But you are the biggest conspiracy theorist on television. You're the one who pushed Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. for years trying to make it sound like you had special insights you could let us in on that only the great Rachel Maddow could see through to.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And night after night trying to drive up your numbers with a bunch of made up bullshit. And the reason we know it was made up and it wasn't a good faith error, which can happen but didn't here, is because you never owned it and you never apologized and you never corrected the record. Your network is imploding because you have lost the credibility of even your far left viewers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
They know you're bullshit. They know your colleagues are bullshit. They know you hate the United States, that you've been misleading them serially for years now. So I'm glad you feel sad that some staffers are getting laid off. But if you're looking for someone to blame, look in the mirror, sister. It's actually not the fault of the new woman, Rebecca, who took over two minutes ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
It's your fault. And it's absolutely Joy Reid's fault and Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Hayes. And you know what? If we're gonna play by your rules, why isn't somebody answering at MSNBC over the fact that the two white guys and the white woman, Joy Reid, got to keep, Rachel Maddow got to keep their jobs, and Jen Psaki, another white woman, got elevated into the primetime?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Why don't they have to answer for that? Those are their rules, pure numbers. DNC, they've gotta count how many non-binaries are running for the top position. MSNBC, you gotta account for every white man you leave in his role. And if Rachel Maddow feel so bad about the numbers of whites in their primetime lineup, you know what she can do, don't you? You know what she can do.

She can ride her whatever bike she rides right off set and go home to one of her mansions. She can leave. She can quit. Make room for a white person to leave the stage and open it up for a black anchor or Southeast Asian anchor to come in. Someone, someone, dare I say, Rachel, maybe as good as you, maybe even better than you. maybe somebody you could respect even more than a joy reach.

She'll never do it. She needs her power. She needs to feel important. She needs her $25 million a year. She needs it, but she's still a good person. She's not an elitist snob because she's mentioning the little people who are being laid off as she cashes her own check. Let me tell you something. I am was across from Rachel Maddow for years in the prime time of cable news at 9 p.m.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And I fucking crushed her. She never came close to me. But I know what it takes to put one of those shows on the air. And you can do it with 11 or 12 people, 11 or 12 producers. And that would cost Rachel Maddow or MSNBC maybe $4 million, maybe $4 million if you're going by generous cable news salaries. And she can afford that in about two weeks.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
She's been making that 30, 25, you know, just took the pay cut, but $25 million a year. She'd been making that for at least eight years, I think, by my back of the envelope calculation. She's got plenty of money. After taxes, if you, you know, New York city, you cut it in half. So it's what, 12 and a half for rounded up to 10 years on this 120, over $120 million in the bank. That's not earned.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That's net. Why don't you want to save half of them? You don't have to save, save half, do 2 million. If you care so much, leave your post, open it up for a person of color. And why don't you pay some of those salaries who cannot MSNBC can no longer afford because of you. because of your enormous salary, which is totally outsized to the numbers and results you produce.

Spare me your sanctimony and self-righteousness when you're not willing to actually do anything about it other than go out there and virtue signal and try to act like a better person than the lowly Rebecca and Mark Lazarus and Brian Roberts of Comcast, all the racists who surround you. It's a joke. It's offensive. She won't do it. And she goes on.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
This is about how hard it is to be a member of the press right now. They don't need this added stress, Comcast. They're already having a difficult time enough in the wake of the Trump presidency. Here's a bit of that.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Okay. She really is one of the most annoying people on television. She oozes sanctimony and self-righteousness. And here's the real capper. She took her boss's faces and rubbed them in shit last night. That's what she did. I, you, the guy who oversees, she's got two bosses now, right? All right. She's got the first boss who's new. I've got to look up her name because I don't remember her name.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Okay. So it's a very difficult time, very difficult time. And the job is already stressful and difficult. We're at Normandy. That's, she's, they're storming the beaches right now. The Germans are up there. They're firing from the cliff above and she's there. in the boats coming up to the shores to save the world. That's how she sees herself.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That's how these other leftist so-called journalists see themselves. And that's what she's talking about. It's very hard to save democracy. We've got a tyrant dictator autocrat in the white house and press freedoms are being eroded censorship around every turn. Oh wait, no, that was Joe Biden. Where were you then again? What did, I don't, did you, oh, that wasn't, that wasn't stressful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That was not difficult, right? Because you were asleep at the switch. So we had four years of fake Russiagate claims. Then we had a sleep at the switch and people at your network telling us that it was the best Joe Biden ever, ever in March of 2024 saying that. Then Trump won and it's Normandy. You're back at it. It's very stressful.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I'm sure it's very difficult for you, Rachel, with your ability to have a masseuse waiting for you at home every night before you go to bed, to have a bed full of gold bars awaiting you. I'm sure it's really stressful. for you journalists over at MSNBC. And then she says, okay, what pains me, what pains us here the most is not what happens to us. That's 100% false.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That's exactly what pains her the most. She cares mostly 100% what happens to her. It's what happens to our coworkers on whom we depend and who you don't necessarily know, but we respect and love them and depend on them. See, I love you. I love you. Don't go to page six with nasty stories about me. I love you, even though I can buy and sell you. And did I mention we respect them again?

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I believe, and I bet you believe, that the way to get there, to get to growing the audience and to staying here forever on MSNBC, is by treating people well, finding good people, good colleagues, doing good work with them, and having their back. Should we have the back of racists on television? Rachel, is that a good policy? Should we have the back of the Joy Reads, of the Tiffany Crosses?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Or are we allowed to say they've gone too far? They've offended more than half the country. They've offended large swaths of the black community, nevermind the white community. Are we allowed to ever say that? Or they're black and they're fired and that's a problem for you. Then we didn't have their back. We betrayed them. There was a disloyalty problem by the bosses.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And she says here, so I believe we could find these good people, good colleagues and do good work with them and have their back and that we could do a lot better, a lot better. I wonder how Ronna McDaniel feels about Rachel Maddow having her back. Did she have the back of that good colleague?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Did she stand up for a Republican who, in the most mild and milquetoast ways, got behind some of Trump's election questions? But it was a bridge too far to where the vaunted NBC News badge. I don't remember her having having her back. And Rachel Maddow trying to say what pains us the most is not what happens to us is a lie too.

The reason she won't give the $4 million or the $2 million to save any of those jobs, and she doesn't have to cut them a check, she could actually just take it out of her current salary. She could just reduce her salary from $25 to $23. Could you make due on $23 million, Rachel? Could you do it? Like, seriously, if you went in there... Why don't you do the Tom Brady, right?

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Didn't Tom Brady go in there? I don't know anything about sports, as you know, but I believe he went in there at one point and said, I'll take a cut so that I can save my offensive line. That's what you actually do if you care about your supporting teammates, as she claims she does. You know why she won't? Because she's got bills to pay and her lifestyle is too important to her.

It was the Pettit family, and this father and mother and their two daughters were attacked by these two monsters. These two guys laid in wait. They followed the mother and the daughter, saw them grocery shopping, then laid in wait, went into the house and tied them up, got the mother in the morning to go to a bank. got the mother to make a withdrawal.

But by the time the cops got there, within 38 minutes, I think it was, the mother had been killed. The father managed to escape last minute. And both daughters, 17 and 11, had been killed. One burned. They were burned alive after they raped the 11-year-old.

No, you work for me. You work for me. I'm going to give you my airwaves so you can go out there and rip on me? No, that's not going to happen.

The people who live in the woods, who mow their lawns and scrub their toilets, they don't get paid a real salary. They don't have a paycheck. They're all paid cash under the table so that these people don't have to pay any sort of employer worker insurance. And so that they can pay them this lower wage that the immigrant takes the full balance of. That person doesn't have to pay taxes on it.

So both parties understand they're gonna have to pay less. Believe me, I had lots of people who suggested to me when I was younger and needing nannies, you know, when my kids were little, oh, here's this woman, but she wants to get paid under the table. No, I said, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. And I paid everybody.

I mean, I'll never fail an audit because all of anybody who's ever helped me has gotten paid over the table. And yes, you then have to pay a little more because you want somebody who's great and you want their net salary to be competitive for them, to be a living wage that they can actually enjoy life with, or they will find somebody else to work for. And it does cost more.

I could have gotten lots of folks who were undocumented to work for me for a cheaper wage, but I didn't do it. But these people in the Hamptons who have more money than I do, way more money than I do, there's a home out there worth $450 million. They don't, and I'm not talking about this particular owner, but I'm saying people like that who are in this article don't want to have to pay.

But just getting on to randomly disagree with their decisions and accuse them of racism because you would have come to a different conclusion? No. she should be fired. They won't fire her because I don't say the P word, but they are a bunch of peas and they, she's the only one who comes close to putting numbers on the board.

Joy Reid wants you to believe that she's Mother Teresa. She's Mother Teresa slash Rosa Parks, a combination of both. We are back now with Free Press columnist Batya Angar Sargan. There she was on Saturday having learned her show was about to be canceled with a group of online supporters talking about herself again like she was saintly.

It's all relative, trust me, but you know, thinnest kid at fat camp and all. And, um, so they're not going to fire her, but what she got away with on the air last night was absolutely disrespectful and it was insubordinate and it is just evidence of how she is. affected. She is somebody who evinces an affected or hypocritical holiness, a feeling or display of moral superiority.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Here's the reality and an actual taste of what Joy Reid's show looked and sounded like the following mashup put together by Tom Elliott of Grabian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
never one to not be the center of attention if she can find a way of injecting herself into a story, decided to deliver a monologue aimed directly at her bosses. And this is the theme of what we saw. I looked it up today just so I would know the actual definition. Merriam-Webster, sanctimony, affected or hypocritical holiness.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Okay. Just one other point here. You heard her mention tears, white tears, male tears. She's got a thing about it. Most normal people watching her cry at the beginning of that soundbite, you know, what we did matter, might feel a pang of sympathy for her, empathy. So they might. And then you remember who she actually was on the air.

And clips like this one, which I mentioned yesterday, reacting to the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in 2021, SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Yeah, right. White tears are fake. Kyle Rittenhouse, 18-year-old put on trial for murder, called a white supremacist unfoundedly by the running next president of the United States. He was faking it. His white male tears, they're racist too. And white female tears are racist. And to the point where she found them so fun, she would... she would mock them. So no, I have zero sympathy for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
None whatsoever. I revel in her termination. I will shoot those tears right into my veins. I'm going to put them on my nightside table in my glass and I will drink them. Gleefully cry, go, I'll watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
No, it's true. I saw in the news yesterday, Don Lemon was out there upset that I'm enjoying the Joy Reid termination. Once again, calling me nasty names. And really what's happening here is when one cannot generate light on one's self by oneself, they may find it fine just to bathe in the reflective light of someone else who actually is successful. That's what's really happening there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Don Lemon has no viewers. He has no listeners whatsoever. He has not been able to make it in the cable news world where he was repeatedly demoted and then fired. He was fired two minutes after getting hired by Elon, which should have been a lifeline to him, but he was too stupid to actually take advantage of it. And now he's too stupid to actually make it in the digital lane.

You really have to watch the whole five-minute bit, but I'm going to take you through it, okay, before we have our guests come. Um, she starts off by saying, I'm going to take a little point of personal privilege here for just a moment. If it is okay with you, well, we're your prisoners, Rachel. So yeah, go ahead. You may have already heard about these changes announced at MSNBC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
So he did the one thing that he could think of to do, which was get into the press by attacking me. And now he's gotten more ink than he's gotten in the past four years. But he's a sad, pathetic little man who actually cannot make it in business on his own. And really at this point, thoughts and prayers, Don, hang in there. But that's that's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
He, Joy Reid, all these race essentialists are failing because the jig is up. People see what they're doing. We're over it. The great awokening happened with Trump's reelection and the fever has broken. That's why, yes, Joy Reid got fired because I asked my team to go pull the numbers. OK, in January, MSNBC's demo was the lowest in primetime it has ever been. Ever. Worst January ever for MSNBC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
In February, it was a 28% decline in the overall numbers. So they're down 30% in February versus 2024. So they are hemorrhaging viewers still. Joy Reid's show is bad. It's a little worse than her colleagues, but it's not that much worse. It's her messaging. I absolutely believe that Brian Roberts had enough because she is being replaced by two black people and a Hispanic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And I don't know Simone Sanders that well. She used to be more normal. I think she's gotten a little woker and more annoying over the years as she's her star has been rising on MS. But Michael Steele, while he's a never Trump Republican, he you know, he's not enjoy Reed's field when it comes to incendiary race bombs. I'm not excusing the stuff he says, but he's not. And Alicia Menendez, same.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
So they're definitely making a move slightly closer to normal. I don't want to say center, but slightly closer to like the bounds of normal conversation by axing her because they know the country's over it.

The new president of our network goes nameless. Rebecca does not get a name. Made it official today. This woman just took over on February 12th, by the way. It's not her. It's not her doing. This definitely came from all the way up. I guarantee you this was a Comcast call. This is probably Brian Roberts call.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Well, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to some of the contributors who are on Joy's show, like the racist man, Ellie Mistal. I mean, he's truly, he and Joy were the two most racist people on TV, in my opinion. He just dropped a new column in The Nation saying as follows. Okay, pointing out the white hosts at the network remain, as of now, unaffected. Fair point, Ellie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
You should get up in their grill about that, because them's their rules. You should make them play by them. What's happening over there is not subtle. Cable News has never been truly comfortable with authentic black voices. White executives tend to treat black folks as interchangeable. Joy Reid is not interchangeable. She's indispensable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And having dispensed with her cable TV news is left with a gaping hole. The black mentor class is being fired, not just on TV, but throughout America. That of course is the point. That's why people like joy are being cast aside. White viewers might think of the cable network, uh, They might think they just went after her because she is black and outspoken. But his point is she is our mentor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
She is showing other black people how to be and act and complain a lot. And shutting her up by bounce passing her out of that post was intentional by the old white people running Comcast.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Rumor has it that he couldn't stand Jerry Reed, which makes sense because she hates white people and he is one. So that's probably how that went down. Brian Roberts is not a complete lunatic. He's a businessman. And he likes making money. And that's why, you know, as long as MSNBC was doing well, he kind of let the machine go. But now it's hemorrhaging money.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
So you're saying he has the right point. He's just got the wrong groups that are being allowed permission and entry versus the ones who are getting kicked out. Exactly right. They won't let any And by the way, just just for those of you playing at home, here's a throwback to Ellie Mistel on Joy Reid show. So you can see why he's so upset that this platform is being canceled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
It's amazing why their numbers are so low. I don't understand it. All right. Now, wait, in the time we have left, I'm dying to ask you, because the one thing I've seen a ton from you over the past month or so is you are not a fan of Elon Musk. And he's, I think, maybe I overstate it, but I don't think you are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And he's been all over the news running Doge and sending out the email to people saying, what did you accomplish this week? Then Trump stood by him and said, that was a great email. And I actually do think you need to fill that out or you could be fired. So what is it? Be specific about what it is Elon is or has been doing that turns you off so much.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And so you start to take aim at the most annoying and weak actors first. And that, sadly, Joy, is where you fell on both counts. So it's not this woman Rebecca's fault, but Rachel Maddow would like to go out there and pillory all of them, including the new president who made it official today. some of the shows are moving, blah, blah, blah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Well, that's interesting because I've been seeing, I respect and appreciate your judgment, and I've been seeing that you're not a fan. And Steve Bannon now infamously is not a fan. Those two have been kind of at each other. And it's fair. You know, we had the all-in guys on last Friday. They are very much fans of Elon and what he's doing. And I get what you're saying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I think he's, you know, he's a very unique figure. And the transhumanist thing was the one that stood out at me because... you know, he's during the year, the neural link, like that actually could, that could solve paralysis at some point. So there's some upsides to the way he sees the human machine possibilities too. But we've never had a figure like him, not in modern day America.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And I would say the other thing is, maybe Trump did see how much heat Elon would be taking and he's enjoying it because it's given him some cover for, I mean, truly, if Trump wraps up Ukraine in the next two weeks, as he is saying they might, and finishes off this peace deal in the Middle East with the return of the hostages, he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I mean, there would be no question that Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize. And that's within the first two months of taking office, right? It's like, maybe you want the big, you know, different distraction, who I will say also calls himself retarded, but whatever, over here, you know, while you're focused on things that really deeply matter, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Then she wants everyone to be assured that she, she is, uh, here, she's going to be here five days a week for the first hundred days of Trump's presidency as planned. Okay. But as planned, I'm going back to just Mondays after I'm hell no, I'm not working five days a week on an ongoing basis. Here's just a little of that.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Fair, fair enough. Yeah, the personal life. I mean, look, we've talked about a lot in the show, the personal life of a few of the nominees who have gone up, not ideal, but we have to depend on them because no one's perfect. I mean, like even Kristi Noem, who I'm just, I complete, she's lost me as a fan with the shooting the dog in the face, poor little cricket, and then the Corey Lewandowski.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
But I have to say, notwithstanding, I'm totally rooting for her now. She's got a very big, important job, one that we really need her to succeed at. So I'm just, personally, I view it through such a different lens than I used to just on that front because it's like we have a country, a world to save. And you know what? God, believe it. It's happening. It's happening.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Hell no. Why would I change that? I'm not working full-time for my first $30 million and now $25 million a year. She had to take a pay cut, you see. Maybe you've had to take a pay cut at your job recently, given the economy. Did you go from $30 to $25 million and then act like you took one for the team? Aw. Well, smallest violin for poor Rachel Maddow down to 25 million meager bucks a year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
But Bravo, I guess, had different ideas. All of your diverse background. And I mean, I know you just got back from the Trump White House where you guys were invited there to celebrate Black History Month. For sure, if that had happened prior to the Real Housewives thing, they would not have cast you. But I'm going to guess...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Right, that you maybe weren't saying exactly the right things to please the Bravo executives because I don't remember the season that had anybody who wasn't an established progressive in any of the main roles. I mean, I've listened to that cast out there talk about the Me Too movement, like believe all women and women would never make up these stories and they hate Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013

Candace is radical in that way. She too is opposed to pedophilia and will fight out against to speak out unabashedly when she sees it. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian still backed the brand, even in the midst of all that, wouldn't break ties with them. That's what she stands for.

But that's not changing. I agreed to do first hundred days, five nights in the anchor chair. But I'm not agreeing to come back full time because I'm Rachel Maddow and I run this network.

Um, so, so then you leave the real housewives and you and Marcellus do this very brave thing, which is actually go to the Trump white house. It's not like going to the Biden white house or the Obama white house, or, you know, a Clinton white house. It's the orange man, bad Hitler, Trump. What made you say yes to that invitation?

So we just went on Saturday night, we went to Madison Square Garden and we watched Duke play Illinois. It was college teams, but they make the trip to like one of the bigger arenas every once in a while. And I mean, that Duke team is like a dream team. They were unbelievable. This is the men. They were so good. It was just like a thing of beauty.

It reminded me of back when I just graduated law school and I saw the dream team, the Chicago Bulls with Jordan and Pippen and all those guys play where it's just like a thing of beauty on the court. Like it's almost... like a dance more than a sport almost, you know what I mean? Or it's just like, there's a flow where you're like, wow.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And I don't know anything about sports, but that's how I felt watching it. But the thought of any one of those guys going over and playing against the women, you know, any one of them would be a total game changer, a literal game changer in every game in which he played.

I don't have to walk you through why. Jen Psaki will take over doing the other four hours of Rachel Maddow's 9 p.m. She talks about Joy, who is not taking a different job at the network.

Well, it's incredible because that sort of camel's nose under the tent of like, well, let's just be fair and let these so-called trans kids play in sports, you know, and forget what it does to the girls has now the full camels under the tent where they're really erasing women. Every day you awake to a new story. Thank God Trump is fighting back against it.

And the latest nonsense comes out of Washington state where I know, forgive me, there is something in Washington state, but this one's from Wisconsin where the governor, Tony Evers has decided to refer to, um, the people who would benefit from his IVF law, you know, protecting IVF procedures as inseminated persons. That's instead of mothers here, he is defending the decision sought 34. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Totally dodging his decision to refer to mothers as inseminated persons. No man can be an inseminated person carrying a baby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And by the way, not for nothing, but I've done IVF. I used it for my kids. And you're not technically an inseminated person when you do IVF. You're having something implanted in you that's an embryo. The semen happens outside of the body when you do use IVF, Governor Evers, if you really want to get technical. But truly think about the term and how kind of gross it is.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
You say mother, and you think of a soft place to fall, a fierce mama bear who protects her young against the most ardent threats. You think about somebody who is both loving and caring and nurturing and strong, providing guidance and discipline where necessary. When you say inseminated person, I'm sorry, all I picture is a penis ejaculating inside of a woman's birth canal.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013

So we talked on the show yesterday about the loony Maine governor, Janet Mills, who's trying to make a name for herself by not, not enforcing the Trump federal EOs on gender and boys trying to play girls sports. She's going to lose, but that one's playing out in the courts. And then I mentioned, mentioned Washington state.

Can I ask you a question, Anna Maria? Because you said assigned male at birth, which is, that's leftist ideology. Like, because I wonder why you say that. I know it's the leftist language, but I see the cross around your neck. And I know you don't believe God makes mistakes on babies. And when the baby comes out male, it's a boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
It's not assigned anything by a man or a woman who happens to be an MD. So I just wonder why you use that term.

All right. So when we left off, I was just lecturing. It wasn't right, but I had to do it, Anna Marie, about saying assigned male at birth or assigned female at birth as opposed to just born a boy or born a girl. I don't know. I'm over any of the gentle language. I'm all pro-truth. But what do you think, Marcellus? I mean, your wife is probably nicer than the two of us. I don't know.

Yes, I know. Honestly, it's a journey for a lot of people. And I think girls in particular are raised to be nice, quote, nice. And so, you know, they don't want to do anything that would just be unnecessarily offensive to people. That's a totally normal and laudable instinct. I submit that it's been taken advantage of by not well-meaning activists who are exploiting it to hurt our young girls.

And so we as adult women need to say, no, no, we're done. We're done doing that. OK, I want to talk to you about where we are on the sports thing, Marcellus, because we have made leaps and bounds. I think Elon's buying X was instrumental in getting us all to be able to talk about what's real fundamentally. But now it got to the point where this was the deciding thing in the last election.

This was at least one of the I think it was the in the swing states, but at least one of the top items in the last election.

By the way, that she's already talking about running again.

She goes on, but in, I'll get to that in a second, Deb, but in all the jobs I've had in all the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I'm going to tell you something. I played part of this at the top. this is over the top and I'm going to put it on the table. I think it's racial.

So what do you make of that? I mean, what do you think of that? And Maria, let me ask you, because it's I think it's mostly Democrats doing that. The Republicans have said how they feel and Trump won. So they're ready to move on. But the Democrats, if you turn into CNN or MSNBC, they're still very obsessed with this. They're still fighting for this.

So you're a football player. I think about my kids. So my boys now are 15 and 11. And my 15-year-old, who's a freshman in high school now, they have to play a sport in seventh grade for school. And so a lot of them, most of them, play football in the fall season. But they play seventh and eighth together, and some of the schools have seven, eight, nine together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And you know, a boy in ninth grade versus a boy at the beginning of seventh grade, that can be like a man playing a little boy, right? Like it could be a post-pubescent boy, it looks like a man, versus this little scrawny, skinny, right? Like sinewy guy. It's dangerous. And that is the same thing as...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
a woman trying to play male football or putting a woman into a male sport, like that's the level of danger. We moms on the sideline would be like, oh my God, oh my God, like, oh, I hope he lives. And the thought of it being a girl who's not even going to touch the levels of testosterone starting to come into that, even the scrawny boy's body, it's downright scary.

Okay, now speaking of football, you have to walk through me with the controversy that I got involved in this week. Kind of not through my own fault, exactly. But the Sun newspaper had a report that the Eagles were not going to go to the White House to celebrate their win. And I retweeted it telling them to F off. Okay. And this was bad because it wasn't true, as it turns out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
The Sun was fake news, and they hadn't even been asked to go to the White House, much less refused. Now, the Sun was reporting that they had spoken with somebody on the ownership team, and that person had said, zero chance we're going to go. And they did refuse to go when they won the Super Bowl in 2018. But now, in the wake of all this...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
People who are connected to the Eagles are reporting and the White House is confirming that they have not yet been asked, but that the Eagles will go if asked, which would, I think, induce Trump to ask them. So it could have a very happy ending. But what is it about the Trump White House, do you think, that makes it even a question mark that the Eagles wouldn't go in 2018?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And at least somebody connected to the ownership told The Sun, hell no, we are definitely not going to go if we win this game.

Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I hope you're right, because Trump definitely reached out to all communities when he was running and then showed up at the game. You know, no president's ever gone to the big game before. That was great. Right. And he he was there. He's cheering on both teams. I really hope it works out. I think it's a unifying moment for the country when that happens.

put on our listening ears, remember the girl on the white women for Kamala, and we learn, we listen, and God forbid we feel the need to correct a person of color, we stop and take a beat because people of color can't be wrong and they can't be fired either unless they are, in which case then everybody on the left side has to yell racism.

I totally agree with you. I feel the same thing about Women's History Month. It's like, of course, the kids, every other month they're going into another one of these things. I have to say, my son, he asked a really good question. He's like, it just seems like our priorities are really screwed up when we have like a Pride Month and a Veterans Day. Like, right on, honey.

And also that they were my best friend and I greatly respected them more than anybody. And I learned so much from them and I have more to learn. Okay. It's a form of self-flagellation and it's pretty obvious. This is not how normal people talk about their colleagues. She is doing this for effect. Okay. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
And personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. By the way, think of what a like a fuck you this is really to her network, which is paying her the 30 million or 25 million a year. Like who asked her? She's not breaking news here. She's just offering her opinion. My employer fucking sucks. And I think is actually kind of racist. Like you needed to go on the air with that.

That's what a door is for. You go and you knock on it and you talk to your bosses directly if you disagree with the decision that they have made. This is not the Pentagon Papers here. This is not calling them out on their lies about Harvey Weinstein, which she did, to her credit. This is, I disagree with your decision, and I think you're a racist.

Well, if you really think that, then you should not be working there. Why don't you take your $25 million and walk, sister? Put your money where your mouth is.

Why do you want to work for a bunch of racists, Rachel? Could it be that you have a tinge of racism inside of you as well, which is why you feel the need to make such a big deal out of your friendship with the black co-host who you respect more than anybody you've ever worked with ever? Okay. She goes out. It's not my call. And I understand that, but that's what I think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
I will tell you, it is also unnerving. And you heard this up top to see that on a network where we have two and she does the, she does the fingers too. Two, count them, two non-white hosts in primetime. Both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang, on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it. So we have two non-white hosts in the primetime. I mean, not for nothing, but 7 p.m. is not primetime, where Joy Reid was. The people in that slot like to say it is, but it's not. Primetime is 8, 9, 10. And the people who have 11, they try to glom onto. But really, primetime is 8, 9, 10. Anyway, we'll count it for now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
That's the one, Joy Reid, the non-white host losing her spot. And the other one is Alex Wagner, who I actually didn't know what her ethnicity was exactly. I looked it up. Her father's white and her mother is from Burma, now Myanmar. So she's Southeast Asian. So she's half Southeast Asian, and she's upset about Katie Fang, who is also Asian American. And that's ultimately just so ironic, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Of course, because it is the white liberals like Rachel Maddow who have been making the arguments that Asians don't count on the oppression scale.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Just ask the kids who had to bring that affirmative action case against Harvard, saying, we're getting perfect grades, we're getting perfect SATs and ACTs, we're getting tons of extracurriculars on our resumes, and none of us can get into these schools because you discriminate against Asians. And then we were told, well, you're not on the oppression roster, so that's why. Get out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
We don't care about the Asians. But now that one half Southeast Asian, and Katie Fang is Asian American, are getting not fired, but just not allowed to sit in their anchor desk chair anymore. Now that's racist, too. Here they count. When Rachel needs to make a point, you're back on the list. Congratulations. Welcome back to Destitution Derby.

You are back in the running toward the overly oppressed. Okay, she goes on. Okay, this is where, now this, we kind of talked about her white guilt. Now she's going to get to her rich guilt. But there's just one other piece of it that you should know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
From your side of the TV screen, you low-life serfs out there, you will mostly see changes in terms of who's in the anchor chair, the vaunted anchor chair. Don't forget, remember the way they talked about themselves when they fired Ronald McDaniel? The vaunted halls of NBC News. Remember? Remember Nicole Wallace? She had the same badge as we did. The disgust.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
This is how they actually feel about where they work. And actually, everybody who's going to be in the anchor cheers from here on out, they're great. They're great. They're great at what they do. You're not going to be disappointed at all in who's on our air and who you're seeing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Elitist Maddow Smears MSNBC Bosses, and Culture Shift on Biological Reality, with Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Marcellus and Annemarie Wiley | Ep. 1013
Oh, and by the way, we never covered the fact that, yes, two of the four hosts in her version of primetime are women of color who are getting ousted. Joy Reid's being replaced by three people of color. Net net, they have more now. All right. They have more. So it's like Alex Wagner, half Southeast Asian. She's gone.

I debated this with Glenn Greenwald yesterday. There is a check on the President's exercise of power, and it's called impeachment. If the President has overstepped the bounds of Article 2, then he can be impeached by the Article 1 branch, and that's the U.S. Congress. They're not doing that. You may be saying, well, those Republicans are never going to impeach him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
The audience may be thinking that's too bad. That's the way the founders set it up. If he does something egregious enough, something absolutely horrible, if Trump completely misused his powers, started executing U.S. citizens, I bet he would be impeached even by a Republican House. That's not what's happening here. And so there is a remedy.

Yes, there has been a war declared on the United States by these countries, he said, including Venezuela when it comes to their gangs, and they've committed an invasion, and there's been something less than an invasion, an incursion on the territory of the United States, all three of which would activate the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the president to do this.

It's Casey, but she, I mean, look, She was too dumb to get it. I'm just going to say it is she was she was not smart enough to handle the truth bombs that Stephen Miller was unleashing. She can't. No.

And you can see it. She just every moment of the thing was her attempting to do a gotcha. But are we at war? Are we at war with Venezuela? Are we, Stephen? It's like he was so far out of her league. He kept trying to explain it to her. She couldn't quite grasp it. She was just looking for her gotcha moment and she couldn't get there.

And that exchange with Casey Hunt yesterday was she kept saying to Stephen Miller, what court can review it? OK, what court can review it? Then what court can review it if this district court cannot do it? And the answer is no court can review it. Casey, no court, not the Supreme Court, not the appellate court, not the district court. That's the answer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
There is no court, including the highest court in the land, that has jurisdiction over this. And in part, yes, there's the issue of his foreign policy powers alone, but in part it's because of the words of the Alien Enemy Act as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court after it was passed. They held as follows. I read this yesterday. It stands. This is not reversed. The U.S. Supreme Court held that
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
The Alien Enemy Act precludes, meaning stops, doesn't allow, judicial review of the removal order. This is the Supreme Court deciding a case after World War II had ended. Such great war powers may be abused, no doubt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
But that is a bad reason for having judges supervise their exercise, whatever the legal formulas within which such supervision would nominally be confined, the Supreme Court majority declared. Accordingly, we hold that full responsibility for the just exercise of this great power may validly be left where the Congress has constitutionally placed it on the president of the United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And this judge is losing his mind that Trump is not doing everything he's commanding him to do. And this is the closest thing we've seen yet to a constitutional crisis. You know how the left has been throwing that term around. And it's not because of Trump. It's because of a judge who thinks he's the president. This Judge Boasberg is speaking to Donald Trump as though he's
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
That's the law, Casey. Not the Supreme Court, not the appellate court beneath it, and not Judge Boas Burke.

Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
OK, there I want to get to exactly who is in these groups that are being deported. But before we do that, stand by one second. OK, Mike Davis, who's coming, he comes on the show all the time. Our audience knows him. He has been making the rounds about this Judge Boasberg. And here's what he's saying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So that's the question. I mean, he's saying that he should be impeached. There is a real question about whether there should be consequences for this judge. And, you know, yes, constitutional crisis, everybody will say it. But this guy is way out ahead of his skis. And I agree with you when this moves up and the process has been started and he's allowing it to go forward.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
The judge's underling, his clerk, who needs to run around answering the judge's every little question. This is foreign policy. And this is where Trump is at the apex of his power, which Judge Boasberg doesn't seem to understand. I just want to give you a little overview of what Julie Kelly, so great on the J6 cases, reported happened inside the hearing yesterday. Horrific.

He's demanding answers to the Trump administration that he gets a second guess with the ACLU's questions, Trump's decisions on how to keep the country safe. that the Supreme Court will rule in Trump's favor. But do you think something should happen to this judge before then?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
It's amazing. You're right about, you know, they've got the juxtaposition of not standing and clapping for the boy who beat brain cancer when he gets, you know, appointed as part of the Secret Service, which was the most delightful, sweet moment. They couldn't bring themselves to clap for him.

Um, but this hell they'll die on trying to get the criminal gang members returned via flight back into the United States as after we've already gotten them out. Not only that, but they're going to die on the hill of Mahmoud Khalil.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And as I said to Glenn, if this were just about Trump tracking down on Palestinian supporters, he'd be arresting all these people in Dearborn, Michigan. He'd be arresting people all over the country who rallied for the Palestinians who are on the other side. He'd be arresting Karen Atiyah of The Washington Post, who liked the tweet. This is what decolonization looks like.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
That's what he'd be doing. The reason he's going after Mahmoud Khalil is because he was the spokesperson for the group that held Colombia hostage for like. So the left is making these decisions. to die on these very interesting hills after that State of the Union where they already showed themselves to be heartless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And I do wonder if you if you look at these decisions of like, you know, standing up for Mahmoud Khalil, standing up for these Venezuelan gang members and, you know, whoever else Trump is deporting who are not citizens, you cannot deport American citizens. That's not who he's deporting, whether they've calculated in any of the political

where Boasberg, who had said to Trump on Saturday, do not send those planes to El Salvador, any remaining planes, and the ones that are in the air, turn them around and bring them back to the United States.

Did he have any idea what the flight time was of the crew on board and whether that was safe for them to do, to turn it around? Like, this is so out of order what the judge is doing.

And with the third flight, that's the one we're not sure whether that took flight after the judge ordered it not to. Whatever. All of this is extrajudicial behavior because the Alien Enemies Act says he doesn't get to review presidential declarations under that act. All right. So that's that's where we are.

Yes, Charlie, this guy got his student visa to come study at Columbia in 2022. But his petition for relief on these deportation proceedings alleges that he got his green card in 2024 and suspiciously does not say the exact month in 2024. It could have been an 18 month turnaround from student visa to green card holder, which is some kind of bizarre fast track.

Especially for a guy who was working for UNRWA, the UN group that basically helps Hamas. I mean, truly, even Joe Biden admitted that and started defunding them post 10-7.

I mean, they couldn't get to his defense fast enough to try to stop... the Trump administration, from deporting this guy. And it's amazing to me to watch the left delude itself that this guy still has some shot at American citizenship. No, that ship has sailed. Mahmoud Khalil will never be a U.S. citizen. It's done.

OK, no, it's different. If an American citizen says something, that's one thing. You can't deport him for saying controversial stuff even like that. But a probationary person who's asking to be a U.S. citizen has the same standard applied to him as somebody who's seeking to enter the country in the first place.

If you could exclude him based on the behavior you're looking at, you can deport him based on the behavior you're looking at. And Marco Rubio had it exactly right.

The podcast only made 13% of voters have an improved perception of the governor.

Boasberg's now agitated that his verbal direction to return the planes during the hearing is not considered controlling. Boasberg's now saying the DOJ should not have allowed any planes to take off on Saturday at all because the DOJ knew Boasberg would be holding a hearing at 5 p.m., And Boasberg's first minute order related only to the first, the five illegal plaintiffs.

26% said it harmed their perception. 58% said it made no difference. Among self-identified liberals, 37% said that the snippets harmed their perception of the governor. So in other words, 26% overall said it harmed their perception of him. And among liberals, 37% said it harmed my perception of the governor. Among those who have very favorable opinions of Gavin Newsom, he lost 16%.

Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So he went from, um, people who liked Gavin Newsom liberals saying, I have a very favorable opinion of him at 46%. It fell to 30%. So Charlie's correct. He's hurting himself with his liberal base by doing these interviews of people like Charlie and Steve and Michael Savage. Um, he it's because the thing about Gavin Newsom is he's, he's not very good at pushing back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So he's not going in there and doing battle with the Charlies and the Bannons of the world. He's somewhat obsequious, to be honest with you. I mean, it's very strange because when you listen to him, you would think like he's a moderate, but he's not. He's, I mean, on the trans stuff and virtually every other subject, he is as radical as they come.

He is another Kamala Harris, but there's something about him. Maybe he is a people, people pleaser, you know, a vintage politician when he gets across from our, well, these are our war fighters. I truly like the three I mentioned. These are war fighters in a way, rhetorical war. Um, He feels the need to get their approval. That's how it feels.

Amazing. Adam Kinzinger, I sacrificed a career taking on people like Steve Bannon. Did you? Did you really? I don't. I don't. That's not how I remember it at all. You got Trump derangement syndrome. You decided to be a J6, anti-J6 warrior. You participated in the J6 committee, which was completely dishonest and a show trial. And Republicans decided you weren't their cup of tea.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
It was not Steve Bannon's fault. in any event, they're melting down on the left over what Gavin Newsom is doing, which is kind of fun. I mean, it almost makes me want to see it continue, but not really, not really, because unlike Bill Maher, who definitely has a touch of the TDS, but can be fair to Republicans, the way Gavin Newsom governs is truly radical.

Boasberg saying the Trump administration should not have executed the president's order because Boasberg was going to hold a hearing that evening and maybe stop the government from deporting under the Alien Enemies Act.

Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
I mean, there's nothing fair about the way he runs California when it comes to fairness to Republicans. Nothing. Nothing. He's sided over and over with that lunatic Scott Weiner, the one that Kerry and Britt have been chasing down all over California on his radical trans ideology. I think he's only rejected that guy one time on his most crazy trans agenda.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And now he wants to come out and say like, oh, yeah, boys shouldn't be in girl sports. Like Charlie said, well, what have you done about it? You loon. That same guy in Massachusetts who I've been railing on cameras, Seth Moulton. Remember after the Dems lost in this past presidential election? He was like, you know what? We've really gone too far. Boys shouldn't be playing against girls.

That's great that you can now go on a podcast or issue a press release saying you're on my side, but you govern, you legislate 180 degrees the other way, and I choose to look at what you've done, not your rhetoric when you're across from a conservative or a reporter confronting you with polls that show everybody's on the side of reason, which is to keep these boys out of these sports.

Trump's executive order keeping men out of women's sports was a victory for women and a huge step in the right direction. But one female athlete does not think it goes far enough. Mina Svard is a Swedish track and field athlete, and she wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal that dropped yesterday laying out what else she would like to see done and for good reason.

And was there anything you could have done, Mina? Did anybody say, well, you could challenge it? Or were they basically like, you're stuck with us, deal with it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
Because you had to realize that, I mean, look at this person. And for the listening audience, it is very clearly a man with male size, with male musculature. And indeed, CeCe Tefler was running and competing in track and field as a man shortly prior to declaring himself a woman and running and competing against you. Yes. How close in time was it?

But instead, he wants to do what I do, which is fine. It's fun. But, you know, they elected him to do a different job. And he's trying to figure out how Trump crushed his party last November. He's talking with some of the biggest names in MAGA world. His first guest earlier this month was Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and host of The Charlie Kirk Show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And his stats were terrible, as I understand it. He was in the mid 300s in terms of his, where he ranked in track and field at that point as a man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So he wins the national championship. Here he is running the hurdles and he's way ahead of everybody. And I understand he won by some two seconds, which is explain that to us. Cause that's like an eternity. That's the average viewer may be thinking two seconds. That's not, but that in track and field, that's an eternity.

The first place finisher at the NCAA championships. So this person, I mean, it's really unbelievable. You've got to go and look at the video because you'll see that this is clearly a man. He's six foot two inches. He was born in Jamaica. Now he goes by CC. His real name is Craig. Now it's been changed.

first competed without success in the men's division at Franklin Pierce university from 16 to 17. Um, and was again, middling at best. He had terrible numbers. He was in the mid three hundreds place there until he became suddenly quote a woman and then took first in the 400 meter hurdles in June of 2019. I mean, right. Like days later, basically you decided he's a woman and there he is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And so when you stood up there as a second place finisher, uh, Did you feel like you had to pretend this was fine? Like what was going through your head there on the podium holding up your trophy?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
Mm-hmm. By the way, I looked it up. He was 390th among the NCAA Division II men, 390th, and then suddenly declares himself a woman and he's number one and really loving the joy of defeating all of the women as though it's some sort of a feat for somebody who's been through male puberty and was running as a man two years earlier. It's just absurd. So what what is it that you would like now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
Because we've got the Trump executive order, which is great. The NCAA's interpretation of it and promise to comply with it is less great. You could drive a truck through the holes that they've left, but it's something, I guess. So what would you like to see now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So, I mean, it's really amazing when you think about what they did to you and like all women. I think you were told and probably raised to be nice, worry about this person's feelings. You know, there's such a small percentage. That's what they always say, Mina. Such a small percentage of the country is trans. And, you know, this is just such a niche issue when it comes to athletics, too.

Yes, you were, even if you get the medal back, you were denied the glorious joy of winning, which you earned. It is unfair, period. Yeah. I can't imagine training for as many hours as you did. you know, just to have that feeling, right? I'm not an athlete, but maybe you could describe it for me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
What does it feel like when you do cross first, when you were competing against other women, also fierce competitors, and you beat them fair and square? Like, what does it feel like?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
And then you get this boost of confidence and a belief in yourself and a belief in hard work. Like so much is gained by these young women thanks to the glorious joy of winning. And that's what's being stolen. That's part of what's being stolen. And it's not replaceable whether you get the trophy or the medal or you don't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
That's the bare minimum they owe you is your medal, your first place finish and your recognition as the winner. Is there any chance they're actually going to do it?

okay, the fact that that man has your metal is infuriating. And, you know, the truth is, Mina, that most actual trans people, people who actually genuinely have gender dysphoria, is what I'm saying, they would never use the man voice. They would be embarrassed to use the man voice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Lawfare 2.0 Fighting Trump, and Sparring with Newsom, with Charlie Kirk, and Former Female Athlete Speaks Out | Ep. 1029
So what that tells me is that more than likely, this is an autogonophile who gets off, gets sexually aroused by dressing like a woman. It's not about gender dysphoria. It's about a sexual fetish. And you lost your metal to that, that you were forced to participate in this man's sexual fetish more than likely in that race. Who is standing up for you? Is there anybody at NCAA?

Wow. I don't know, guys, maybe God had a more important race for Mina in mind. You know, maybe he had a bigger challenge that he wanted her to step up to. And she's in the midst of it right now.

Auto pens have been used by the White House for decades, the earliest models employed by Thomas Jefferson. Typically, they're only used for mass communications like Christmas cards and more routine documents.

The Constitution does not require that a pardon be written at all, nor does it contain edicts about signatures. If President Trump is challenging whether Mr. Biden agreed to the pardons at all, that could lead to a legal dispute. So far, the White House has not announced any official challenges to the pardons.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, and happy Tuesday. We have so much news to get to today, a plane crash in Toronto, CBS News versus free speech, and much, much more. But we want to begin by telling you about an announcement we have here at the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Yes, there was an actual minister over there who was crying. There's no crying in politics. What are you doing? Get it together. Okay, we'll get back to that in a second. Let me stick with CBS. Now, here, first of all, she's weirdly smiling, Sharon Alfonsi, throughout the whole thing. She clearly is enjoying it. She's clearly like, oh my God, I'm home. I'm home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I didn't realize, you know, Alfonsi sounds Italian, but she's lining up more with the Germans in this particular piece. And And here she is all agog. She's just absolutely loving the new information she's getting as they show her the big red folders full of criminals.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
No, it's not. Yeah, you really hurt them. You fine them thousands of dollars and they go to jail. So fun. I just want to give you the contrast, okay? Because I grew up watching 60 Minutes. It was one of the reasons why I wanted to become a journalist. And this is the reason why.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
People like Mike Wallace, who understood when they were onto a controversial subject or a controversial person, there was a certain tone and strength that would be required in the exchange. Here's a memory.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And then it doesn't affect this show at all. We'll still be doing this show just as exactly the same way as we always do, but this will be a second offering and you can either listen to it, uh, on Sirius XM at eight 45 East on channel one 11 triumph or Or you can check out any of our podcast feeds. It will hit there weekdays at 6, 6 a.m. 6 a.m. So early.

That's how you do it. you, you, you unafraid, you have to be unafraid and you go in there fearlessly and put it right to them. This is a crackdown on free speech. This is unfair. This is a violation of human rights. That's how we'd see it in my country. People are allowed to insult, offend or criticize a, a government politician, a party. There's nothing illegal about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show

How do you justify that morally, sir?

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And on that note, I'll play it. Here she is interviewing Marco Rubio, who was not, as usual, having any of her nonsense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And then what's funny is we talked about it on X yesterday. And some people were like, well, I listen to you only on YouTube. And I was like, people, I've got to be able to take the hair and makeup off. Well, the makeup off, the hair stays on. at the end of the day, or, you know, I don't want to put it on early, early in the morning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It was beautiful. He, in the moment, sliced her down. All I could think of was the a few good men line. You effed with the wrong Marine. You effed with the wrong official from the Trump administration because Marco Rubio knows his facts. He knows his history, including, of course, European history and World War II. Obviously much better than Margaret Brennan that dolt does.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And she tries to finish it up, her inanity, by saying, like, you know that. You know that. And he's like, wrong, Margaret.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Maybe in that way, CBS is doing its audience a real service. If the audience is as uninformed as Margaret Brennan, then yes, she's providing a service. But I don't believe that. I think CBS News is not recognizable to me. It's really not. I don't understand what this thing is. Even 10 years ago, CBS News was still a journalism outlet. Biased, yes. But I mean, this is beyond. It was never stupid.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
biased and dumb is really unforgivable. You know what I find really bizarre, Megan?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
So I didn't really want to do a YouTube version of this, but so many people wrote and said like on X and just said, just do it anyway. Cause we could post it there without the visual, you know, you can post the actual audio over like a picture of this show graphic, which makes perfect sense. So good idea. We're going to do that. Forgive me for not going on cam for that one, but yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
No. I mean, this moron did the vice presidential debate and embarrassed herself. Now she's out there on her Sunday show, which is supposed to be also more dignified and hard-hitting, embarrassing herself. And they continue to not understand at CBS News that the only reason these politicians say yes to her is because... They wind up looking so good. She makes it easy for them inadvertently.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
She's so dumb. Her questions are so pathetic that she's just easy to make a fool out of and have one of those viral moments. Like when is she and or CBS going to get that she's getting used by by smart right-wing politicians who want a viral moment making her look dumb and them look good. I realize Margaret's too dumb apparently to know this, but somebody at CBS News must see it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Maybe they don't like her. Maybe they're enjoying it too. I'm not sure. Here is an actual smart person named Nadine Strawson. She's with FIRE, the foundation for Individual Rights and Education. Thank you. Individual Rights and Education. It's a free speech organization. We've had Greg Louganis on the show many times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
She's with it and she will explain here what actually was happening with Germany's hate speech laws in between World War I and World War II.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Yeah. So that's actually what was happening. The more they tried to ban speech, the more this controversial speech would burst out, would feel subversive, would be exciting to engage in, and the more people did it. And obviously CBS doesn't get that. By the way, back in the 60 Minutes report, you know what they didn't have in this report? They didn't speak to a single critic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Of these arrests or these laws, they didn't speak to any targets of the arrests or people who have run afoul of those laws. That's what an actual 60 Minutes piece would have looked like 20 years ago, where they would have shown you the real life. And by the way, it's very easy to pick the...
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
You know, the PJs, it's an important part of the day to have those on with the clean face and the hair and the ponytail on top of one's head like that. That keeps you like a normal person. You can't be in the glam, the cam glam all day long. It's just weird. So anyway, it is going to launch tomorrow morning. Take a listen. Let me know what you think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
the line that says, I hope refugee children die in electrified wires and say, that's the kind of thing you're going after. You and I both know there are far more controversial speech examples that have gotten caught in the crosshairs of these German laws that those red files probably have example or after example of that they decided not to highlight in 60. That's the way you do the piece.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
You find somebody whose kid got killed by an illegal immigrant. And so they subscribed to Compact Magazine because they agreed with their anti-illegal immigration push. And you put that person on to say, you know what? I lost a lot when they criminalized Compact Magazine and they shuttered it. I now feel like I'm not allowed to say I'm upset about what happened to my child.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
That's the way you do a fair and balanced piece, which 60 Minutes knows. But they're agenda driven now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Right, and says to our friends, remember who you are or who you're supposed to be and what you're doing here because our shared partnership doesn't feel like it has a lot in common anymore. This is why we forge on without you. This is why you're not valuable to us as much when it comes to things like NATO.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
This is why Trump is having two-party discussions about wrapping up the Ukraine war with just Trump and Putin. without even Zelensky, nevermind the Europeans. So we're like, what about us? What about us? And we're kind of like, what about you? What, what about you? Like what you're pushing us to a place where we have more in common with some of these other countries than we do with you.

It'll be an evolving thing like all these things are. You go back and listen to my first show. of the Megyn Kelly show we're doing now. It sounds very different from what we're doing now.

We don't recognize ourselves in Germany anymore. What is that? Some of the far left would like us to look more and more like them. Um, the, um, Guy who cried. I've got to show you this. He cried in response to J.D. Vance's speech. This is the same guy. His name is Christopher Hoogson.

He was part of the German delegation that could be seen smirking and laughing back in 18 when Trump, when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly, issued a stark warning to the German delegation about their country's growing dependence on Russian energy. On Russian energy, of course, which would become a very, very big issue just a few years later when Russia invaded Ukraine.

He's like, I drink your tears at my bedside. Okay. We've got to move on because I want to get to this with you. To the bizarre meltdown with... Elon Musk's latest child's mother, allegedly. So a woman named Ashley St. Clair, who claims she's 26, but many internet sleuths claim she's actually 31 or 32. I have no idea.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Comes out via tweet on Friday, I think it was, over the weekend, and says, a Friday, and says, I am the mother of Elon Musk's latest baby, who's five months old. It's a boy. And He's the father, but it's become clear that a tabloid magazine is going to out this fact, regardless of the harm. So I am going to tell you myself that I want to raise my child and I am Elon's latest.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
child's mother, baby mama is the less nice way of saying it. So Elon doesn't respond to that directly, but then the internet starts like weighing in on this saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is this true? What's happening? And somebody finds an old tweet of this woman's from years ago, 2020, trying to get Elon's contact information.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And talking about the fact that he's slept with a lot of women and impregnated them and sounds like she would like for this to happen. And Elon retweets that old resurfaced tweet of hers and writes, whoa. That's the only response he's given so far to this whole thing. So we have no idea whether this is really his child's mother. And then Ashley St. Clair says,
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
is chastising him, saying, you don't respond to me, you're not talking to me, and now this is what you finally respond to? We've been trying to communicate for the past several days, you've not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
She's referring to the guy who resurfaced her old tweet. So it's kind of confusing, but it's a long way of saying this woman is accusing Elon of impregnating her and not, I guess, negotiating with her on the care of the child, or at least not to the point where she's happy with the negotiation. She's upset about the privacy, that the tabloid's coming.

You, I posted on Twitter, you can have a swanky New York apartment. You could earn money and actually wind up renting one yourself. You could also find a man who wants to marry you and raise children with you and

You do not have to make a choice where you try to bang the billionaire to get his baby so that he'll put you up in some lavish New York City apartment and take care of you for the rest of his life and then be shocked, shocked, when he doesn't actually want to have a relationship with you. And the only way you can maybe get him to respond to you is via tweet. I'm sorry, but again, you made choices.

Here's what's crazy, though. OK, so Elon believes that he wants to have a lot of children, that it's important to overpopulate the earth and says he's doing his part. Now, you could say he's a cad, but he appears to be very open about this with the women in his life. He was he's like all these women are having babies by him via surrogate. So that means he's fully participating.

They're trying to get pregnant. Not as far as I know this woman. I don't know. I don't know whether this was conceived the old-fashioned way or via IVF. But they're actively trying to make babies of Elon's. And they're into it. Now, I don't know whether all the women are disclosed to the other women. I don't know, and it's none of my business. But this woman knew all of that...

when she decided to get into a relationship with him. Yes, he's older, he's in his 50s, and she's allegedly 26 to 31. But you know all of this. And in fact, the post he resurfaced of hers on the internet shows her saying, I think he's got like seven kids from multiple different women. By the way, she has another kid from a different man already at 26 to 31. Okay.

So my point is simply, if this really did happen, this is really, she walked into this eyes open. That's fine. No judgment. If that's the way you want to live your life, go for it.

I mean, I don't understand why young women feel that they have two choices if they want some sort of a lavish lifestyle. They can, well, I guess one choice. I don't understand how these women think their only road to financial success is to marry a rich guy or...

Get pregnant by a rich guy and make him pay for your lifestyle. To me, it's so fucking disempowering. Go earn your own money. If you want to be rich, if you want a nice damn apartment, why don't you work? Why don't you earn it? Why are you just trying to bag some rich guy? It's so fucked up. It's wrong. It's just I feel like, OK, and then I'm almost done. If you do, bang the rich guy.

I don't believe her because it doesn't seem like she doesn't want publicity. She did the whole big spread with the New York Post. She wants publicity.

That's a totally different breach of covenant. This is like... I don't know that he breached any covenant whatsoever. Now, he will have to take care of that child if he actually is the father.

And if you've made poor choices, which have led to poor outcomes, you need to look at yourself to get better results in the future. At yourself, not at Elon, not at the tabloids, not at anyone other than yourself. Because this woman's had two children by age 26 by two different men. And at least one of them, she claims, is not speaking to her nor acknowledging paternity. There's a problem.

Well, I mean, obviously in our shared Catholic church, they don't encourage any premarital sex. I can't say that most of us abided by that, but I would say this. If you are having premarital sex and you don't trust the other person to do the right thing in the event of a pregnancy, and you know that you would never abort your baby, then you better have a plan. You know, you better...

I don't know what their deal was, but like she can change her life because she seems like she was an up and comer. She's got a big Twitter following. There are a lot of people on the right who like this person. She didn't need a man to create a great life for herself. She was on her way. And I'm afraid this is seriously going to set her back.

But by pointing fingers at Republicans saying they also censor. Their latest talking point is that the Trump administration is, quote, censoring the Associated Press for limiting the news organization's access to the White House. I mean, basically, the Trump administration said, get out of the Oval Office and get off of Air Force One to the Associated Press.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
They still have their White House press briefing seat, which is all they're, quote, entitled to. They can still cover the White House. Guess what? The Megyn Kelly show covers President Trump better than the Associated Press from this desk. So quit crying in your soup, Associated Press. How can we possibly do it if we don't have a seat next to him in the Oval next to the Resolute desk?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
This is ridiculous. That's not censorship. Read a dictionary. Trump is trying to tweak the AP because they refuse to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. By the way, that's the least of the AP's problems. They also refuse to call trans women he and him, which is what they are. They refuse to not capitalize black when they're referring to an African-American person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
They do all sorts of stuff with their weird link. They refuse to say he was born a man or male. They say assigned male at birth, which is a way of making it sound like some evil doctor just passed his judgment on that penis, not knowing whether it was secretly a vagina. Ridiculous. The AP has lost its mind.

But the left thinks we do and thinks that this is a free speech crisis that they are trying to use to wipe out all the free speech crackdowns they have done over the past several years. COVID is just one example, but there have been so many, as you know. And they had a whole hearing about free speech on Capitol Hill and censorship last week. This is where this woman's a loon.

Well, since then, we've just had a downward spiral of the media on this, misrepresenting, by the way, what the speech was about, misrepresenting the import of what Elon said, trying to say that this was all about supporting left-wing or right-wing parties. He went over there to command that we must support the alt-right.

Cool. How was President Biden's health for the last year of his presidency? Love to talk about it. Let's chat. I love I love truth, too. Let's do it. Vice President J.D. Vance responded to an ex-post about the matter of free speech from former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hassan, who's very upset about the AP issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Vice President Vance responded to this Mehdi Hassan attack on poor AP by saying, yes, dummy, I think there's a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the White House press briefing room, which is actually, that's not even what Trump did. Trump did less than that, and jailing people for dissenting views. The latter's a threat to free speech. The former is not. Hope that helps.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
All right. So the Democrats now see an opportunity, Walter, to spin this whole thing because the Trump administration says the AP can still go to the White House press briefing room, but can't have the extra bonus of going into the Oval, which is an extraordinary event anyway, by the way. I mean, like what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
When did Joe Biden just randomly invite a bunch of reporters just on a moment's notice to come visit him in the Oval and chit chat with them? They can't go on Air Force One, but many other media companies can, not the AP. But they they think that they're the vaunted gold standard of journalism. So they're very, very upset.

Well said. But they don't understand that. And what's really happening here is the AP has its feelings hurt. It's upset that it's not the vaunted news organization it once was, the same way 60 Minutes is not the vaunted news organization it once was. And the theme of today's show, for that, they have only themselves to blame. This whole show is about personal responsibility. But...

They can't stand it. And they also can't stand having like special access to power. You guys know as well as I do that when it's a Democratic administration, they get all the leaks. They get invited to the right cocktail parties. They feel like one of the cool kids. And now they're on the outs. Now they've been relegated to the nerd section where no one will swing by and say hello to them.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Now, I think Matt and I feel the same. Walter, I assume you do, too. As a journalist, it's better to be ostracized. It's better not to be too chummy. It's one of the reasons why, even though I totally support President Trump, I don't ask him for any favors at all. It's very important that I not owe him anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I can't owe him anything because I have to be able to do the show in a way that leaves me free to criticize him or his administration. But People who work at CBS and ABC and The Washington Post, they're dying to stay on the inner halls of relevance. It's one of the reasons why the 51 intelligence agents having their access codes pulled for all the intelligence buildings was so effective. Right.

That's so true. That's why it's like, it's dangerous to, to need access in that way. It's, it's a privilege and it's a power to be removed. You know what I mean? Like it's better not to be at all their parties and rubbing elbows with all of them. And that applies to journalists and it applies to Supreme court justices. You know, it's like, I think,

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I think about it a lot because now I know this president better than I've known any other president. I saw him at the Super Bowl. We have a nice relationship now. We glad handed. It was great to see him. I'm definitely rooting for him. I've told the audience that. But it does not cross over. I did not go to Mar-a-Lago on election night. I right. You know, I.

So this brings me to the tricky subject. Legally, it's tricky, but my journalistic response to it is different, of what's happening at the Department of Justice. where the DOJ, which is under Trump's command, it's part of the executive branch, dropped the case against Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, who had been indicted criminally for allegedly taking bribes or favors from Egypt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And the prosecutors who were on the case from the Southern District of New York, which is the most respected U.S. attorney's office in the country, say they had a great case against him and he was going down. Now, he denies that and he denies having done anything wrong. But under Trump's command, the DOJ dropped the charges against him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And what the big story all over the papers and the left-wing press over the weekend has been the meltdown within the Southern District of New York about the dropping of these charges. So the woman who was in charge, she was like acting in charge of that office, who's a conservative, who clerked for Scalia, who was part of the Federalist Society, so it's not some far-left crank, resigned saying...
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
You know, basically, Mr. President, Ms. Bondi, you know, you've asked me to drop this case and I can't in good conscience go into court and tell the court that we don't have grounds to prosecute this and we want to withdraw it and that it might have been a political prosecution because it wasn't. And like, I'm not willing to do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And then others down the line from her said the same thing, like, peace out. We're not going to do this. We're not we're not OK with dropping this. My own view on it is. I don't really think anybody has done anything wrong. I understand perfectly why Trump looks at this and says it smells like a political prosecution slash persecution to me. I went to the Al Smith dinner. Trump was there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It's a big fancy dinner before the election. It's a Catholic thing. And Mayor Adams was there. And Trump made a joke at the time. He's like, Mayor Adams. It's been a tough week or a tough time. And he said, I think it's going to work out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And you could there was sort of a funny light bonding moment between these two guys who'd been indicted, who had reached the top of their respective circles in the political field. So I think Trump has actual empathy for him having been through this. I genuinely think Trump is like, this is probably bullshit. And I'm sick of this bullshit where we're just now indicting people who are in office.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And I think Trump probably did not kick the tires of the case as his deputy attorney general admitted in ordering SDNY to drop it. They admitted like we actually haven't looked at whether it's strong or it's not strong. We don't care. Drop it.

We think he's going to work with us on anti-illegal immigration, and his cooperation to us is important, and we don't want him distracted, and we don't really believe in this thing to begin with. Okay, so I think Trump didn't do anything wrong. Neither did Emile Bove, who ordered it. And then I think the U.S. attorney was like, I don't have this in me.

I'm not going to say this was political when it wasn't. She did the right thing, too. She she lived by her conscience. She resigned. She'll be fine. She'll get a very, very well-paying job tomorrow at literally any law firm in the United States. And we'll be making three million dollars a year within a The next seven days. OK, she'll be fine. She stuck to her principles.

And in the morning, my producers will send me a short sort of, you know, note with whatever happened overnight that's relevant to the guest. And we call it the AM update. Well, beginning tomorrow, I'm going to be bringing the AM update to all of you. Here's the story. We are launching a new podcast right here on this very feed that you're listening to the show on.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
But, you know, there's a tug of war between what politicians want and sometimes what lawyers see as right. And I don't think it's some constitutional crisis. I think it's just the difference in priorities.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
But to read one piece of paper in the left wing press would have you believe that Trump again is creating a constitutional crisis, that he is lawless and that even now the conservatives at SDNY are turning on him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I actually didn't finish my point, Matt, which was, I, I meant to, but I tossed it to you just too soon. The final point on it is, The this same press that's so upset about this. Where the hell were they when Biden used the Justice Department to ruin President Trump's life? Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
When Biden had his DOJ cooperate with local prosecutors in New York and down in the Fannie Willis case to help put Trump behind bars, they defended it at every turn. So I read their outrage about like him dropping crimes. criminal charges against somebody, which is far less bad on the moral scale than bringing them when there is no crime. And I think, what's on Netflix tonight?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It really is the boy who cried wolf, Walter. And now we're like, we don't care. I know. I know. The wolf's here. I got it. Yeah. OK.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Mm hmm. That's it. Right. And they say, oh, well, you know, his defenders say Mayor Adams like, well, the only reason I got prosecuted is because I started to support a crackdown on illegal immigration. Well, that's not true because they began the investigation into him long before he started saying things against him. illegal immigration. So that's, that isn't true, but I don't care.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
He doesn't have to start lying about it. It's like Trump doesn't believe in the case. Trump wants him on Trump's side as he tries to crack down on this ridiculous corruption of a sanctuary city through all these illegal immigrants. And he thinks he's got a live one here who who will work with him, unlike every other Democrat politician who's going to take over in the city as mayor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
He will work with him. And Trump sees an opportunity here. That's good enough for me. I just saw one of my far left friends who's like a complete lib Dem voter. And he said, I couldn't care less about any of this bullshit. Like this stuff is not resonating. You know that. He's not prosecuting Eric Adams. He's letting federal bureaucrats go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
He's not sending the aid checks to the trans opera in Cambodia. Like, it's not penetrating, Walter. And they're frustrated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
They're though they will try mightily. I mean, the Trump derangement syndrome was on full display among other places when Pete Hegseth went across the pond the other day and he was, uh, was it in Brussels? Yeah. On Thursday, giving a speech over there, his first international trip as department of defense secretary and committed the sin of drinking some water to Did you see this online, Matt?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
He drank water in a clear glass. And the crazy thing about water in a clear glass is it can look clear or it can look colored depending on like what's reflecting into it. Your notes, the curtains, right? And so you had that genius Matt Iglesias drinking. questioning whether Pete was drinking bourbon openly in front of the world his second week or third week as defense secretary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I assume this is a trick of the light and he's not actually throwing back bourbon on camera, but it's interesting that the water looks brown. It's interesting. Is it not, Matt?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
because the tabloid press tried to suggest that Pete's a drunk. The Democrats tried to suggest he's a drunk and a wife beater without any evidence at his confirmation hearing. And here he is three weeks and he said, I won't, a drink will not touch my lips if I am confirmed to this position. You know, I have been drinking in the past, but it will not touch my lips.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And the stupidity of like his third week, he's like, yeah, bourbon in the public eye while he's giving his first international speech.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Oh, yeah. Remember that one senator? Was it Mark Mullen? One of them was like, half of you have been drunk before you go to the Senate floor and vote, he said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
Go on. What? Who specifically? By the way, before we take a break, was Kamala Harris drunk in this clip or wasn't she? It went everywhere. While we're on the topic of public drunkenness, she appeared at a Broadway show and had the meet and greet with the cast after the fact. I don't know. I report, you decide.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I'm going to give you my verdict. Not drunk, just her normal self. That's how she is. And full of profundities, Walter. I feel like you were really moved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I feel like I've seen this a million times. Either she's always drunk when she's talking or she was just her normal self. This is how she talks. She fills the air with absolute nothingness. You feel like you ate a big air sandwich. Then she walks away. That's her MO. What am I missing, Matt?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
You have to watch it to believe it. Oh, do we have it? Do we have the part they took out in 60 Minutes where she sounded just like this? I don't know if we do. No, I don't think we do. I showed it last week.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
But if you listen to the 60 Minutes interview that they released to the FCC, this is the kind of stuff they took out to try to make her sound like a more serious person, where she did her ambitions and aspirations and dreams. I really think the nature of horror is a vacuum. She sounded like that with them. So they ran cover for her. The Broadway folks did the mmm, mmm, as Walter says.

Preacher, heal thyself. All right, stand by, guys. Quick break. We'll be right back. As President Trump begins his new administration, one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda is Senator Dick Durbin. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card.

Okay, nobody doubts that, right? That has the ring of truth. We all know that that's true. And he's not the only Democrat to have people turn on him when he became more Trump adjacent or Trump red pilled, whatever. But now the Democrats, in this scramble to try to figure out how to respond, the AP indignation, they're downgrading, have come up with a master plan.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
There are more and more reports about how they're frustrated at the fact that Musk, for example, his Doge account has 4 million followers on X, and the Democrat, the DNC resistance has 100,000. So it's not going well. They can't find a way of counterbalancing this very powerful team. But they've stumbled upon a possibility. It's just a possibility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
We saw a preview of it at the Doge subcommittee meeting on Wednesday. I know you guys talked about this on your show. Here is Democrat Robert Garcia from California ready to change the conversation. It's not 36.

I'm going to give you the floor, but I will just say as a former cable news anchor, I would never utter that word on my show. It's one thing on this show. Podcasting is my show is rated explicit where it's a much more less, less formal conversation. I would never have said that if I were her, I felt uncomfortable watching her do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It was such a timely message. We'll get to what 60 Minutes did on free speech and Germany on Sunday night. I mean, on the heels of this J.D. Vance, I love it. It was sort of like the tear down this wall speech where he went into the belly of the beast and said, you're doing it wrong. You've lost your way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
That's exactly right. That's right. Had I been a cable news chair, I would have said a deep pick and people would have understood. But you're right when you phone when you say when you and you're like serious presentation or like, well, it was important to call him a dick. Everyone's uncomfortable. Not don't don't go there. But they're scrambling.

What they need is a website, Matt. First, after the election, they're like, we need our own Joe Rogan. If only we could find a Democratic Joe Rogan. Totally not understanding that Joe Rogan has been a Democrat this entire time, up until about two minutes ago. Now, if we could just get like a website. But meanwhile, they control all the websites.

Please come back, because the thing that bound us together, the United States and Europe, was a commitment to certain human liberties, though we're much more robust about them here in the United States, or are supposed to be. There is a general commitment to certain principles that we should share, and free speech is a human right. It's a human right. It's kind of what he was saying.

But they can't because they still misunderstand at every turn why Trump was found so appealing by 80 million plus people, by over half the electorate. They don't get it. And in nowhere was that more apparent than in the absurd news. Off in its tone and content, Saturday Night Live skit with Tom Hanks. I was off yesterday, so we didn't get to talk about this, but it was ridiculous.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
At their 50th anniversary party, they parade Tom Hanks out there as this dumb, rural... MAGA supporter with the hat who's, of course, racist, too, and won't shake the hand of the black jeopardy. It's a skit on SNL called Black Jeopardy and won't shake his hands, obviously, because Trump supporters hate black people. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It was shocking, wasn't it, Matt? Like somebody who tries so carefully, like not to be too divisive in his choices to come right out and suggest he thinks Trump supporters are racists.

And it's mean. It's like, you know, Tom Hanks, I'm sure he's worth a billion dollars. I'm sure he's got multiple mansions across the world. He probably has or at least can afford a yacht, every fancy sports car he wants. And you know who got it for him? All of us. Guys like the one he's making fun of right there who went to see Forrest Gump and

Yesterday, a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Toronto crashed while landing in Canada. Have you seen this? Stunning video showed the plane hitting the runway, catching on fire and flipping upside down. Unbelievably, all 80 people on board survived. They got out and they survived. Here to break down what could have caused this are aviation experts Matt Wiz Buckley, decorated U.S.

Naval aviator and Top Gun graduate, and Gregory Feith, former National Transportation Safety Board air safety investigator. Wiz, Greg, welcome. Thank you for being here. This is so scary looking. Let's just show it. So you see it coming in for a landing. It's obviously a snowy day. The runway has snow. And it's a huge jet. When I heard regional jet, I thought small. No, it's a huge jet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
And fire, fire when the wheels touch down or so it looks, followed by a cloud of black smoke. It's very clear. I don't know why this guy was filming this particular landing, but, man, he got the whole thing. It went on its side. It then flipped upside down. And somehow everyone survived. So, Wiz, how does this happen?

It had some 40,000 subscribers, plus many more through online and media engagement, and they called it a publication of intellectual arsonists who incite a climate of hatred and violence against refugees and migrants and seek to overthrow our democratic state. It's a magazine that supports a party that's anti-illegal immigration. They are not for the open borders that Germany's had for years.

So, Greg, do you agree with that? And if so, you know, I always like I always like to tell myself if somebody used to fly out of O'Hare all the time in very snowy, bad conditions, they wouldn't let the plane take off if this weren't safe to fly in. So what should they not have been flying planes in this kind of wind?

I want to point out, we got that video that we're showing from an account on X called Air Main Engineer. Just a stunningly perfect video. I mean, I'm sure at the NTSB, Greg, you would have been thrilled to have this kind of a video of a plane crash.

They talk in Tablet about how the politician who did this rooted her decision in a German law that broadly forbids political activism... opposing the country's, quote, constitutional order. She dispatched 339 cops to raid 14 locations, including compacts offices, the offices of its parent company, the homes of its staff and their shareholders.

Now, Wiz, this is, okay, I'm told that this is a CRJ-900 configured with seats for 70 to 76 passengers. It looks huge. It doesn't look like one of those small regional jets. God rest them, like the folks who went down from Kansas into D.C., you know, the last time we were talking to you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
It looks larger to me, but I know you did mention then, and I've read in connection with this, that those regional pilots are, are not quite as trained as the big old American Airlines jet pilots that we have on the DC-10s or 747s that we fly.
The Megyn Kelly Show

CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
I wish you could fly all the flights I'm on. I want you behind that wheel. I don't... I'm a little worried here, Greg, because I got to be honest. I always thought that most, almost like 99% of what happens when we're on board the flight is done by autopilot, which I liked. You know, like... It's almost impossible to crash these planes because the autopilots got it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
The one where the helicopter bumped into the plane was a freak accident. But this does appear, from what you're saying, to look like pilot error. How much is the autopilot involved on takeoff and landing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
The police seized technical equipment, office equipment, vehicles, merchandise, liquid assets, anything else they could physically take, as well as bank accounts. Their video production subsidiary was also closed. This is crazy stuff. Um, they say that, hold on. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
That's where the pilot earns his or her pay. So Wiz, why wasn't this a deadly crash? The fire coming out from behind it, the arrow, you know, it flips. We've seen planes like explode on landing. Like why, how is it that everybody lived?
The Megyn Kelly Show
CBS vs. Free Speech, Elon Baby Drama, and Shocking Plane Crash, with Michael Knowles, Matt Taibbi, and Walter Kirn | Ep. 1009
These are people upside down because it landed with its belly up.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Yeah, the foundational law there prohibits speech that's racist, pro-Nazi, or as Compact was accused of doing, advocates against the constitutional order of the country. All right, so Germany is in crisis. That's crazy behavior. That's, I mean, that is effed up. And this is from one of our so-called allies with whom we share values. So 60 Minutes decides to do a piece on free speech in Germany.

I mean, one other question on this, Greg, this I would imagine will be an investigator's dream in a way, because you've got these videos, there are other videos, not just that one. And you've got all the passengers and the pilots, not to mention the black box, but they're going to know everything there is to know about this one. Yes.

Right on, cool. For once, you're relevant and you're right on time. 60 minutes. J.D. just gave this speech. You probably didn't know it was going to be about that, but you hit the jackpot. You got the crazy compact magazine thing and what they're doing to this party, trying to shut it down because it's controversial. Wow. They went a different way.

Wow. I have to say, flying in and out of Logan in Boston, that's happened to me many times. There must be something about the runways in Boston, but where you're going down, you're like, okay, we're landing. Boom, we're back up. And the glasses start falling out. It's very alarming as a passenger. You're just like, something's gone very wrong.

As you know, an incredibly sympathetic profile of the crazy-ass German laws that criminalize free speech. It was... It was obviously in support of them. There was a minimal amount of pushback, like the most mild milquetoast, like, well, gee, some critics might say this. And that was all we saw. Here, for example, was 60 Minutes doing like a ride along with German prosecutors as they

raided the home of some guy who had said something racist. He was getting arrested because he said something racist. Just in case you didn't know that, that's not unlawful in the United States. You can be a racist, you can be a bigot, you can be a sexist, you can be all the things.

She has been humiliated. She was 17 points off. Everybody ran around saying she's a gold standard. She's a gold standard. She actually had the potential to change the trajectory of the race. She showed Kamala Harris winning by three in a deep red state. Trump won the state by 14. She was 17 points off and completely blew it. She blew it. So she is humiliated.

Well, there's a question about whether he's intimidating pollsters here. You know, Trump is obsessed with polls and he dismisses the ones that he doesn't like. And he doesn't, and he kind of does the same thing with media. He's kind of obsessed with media and attacks the ones that he doesn't like. But the thing with ABC was real and it was a legit problem and a legit objection.

And I don't agree with all those people who say that he was going to lose that case. I don't. I think if that had gone forward, there was a very, very good chance that Trump would have won that case, possibly even just on the papers without a jury trial. it was clear what they said. It was very clear what George Stephanopoulos said, and it was very clear what the jury found and didn't find.

Maybe, but even that's a real stretch. And I would think that before the judge would engage in allowing that kind of discovery, you'd have to have a good faith basis to make the allegation. There has to be more than just like, I suspect. I think she tanked it intentionally. And I just don't see that. Like, what specifically do they know? I think they know what I just said.

she projected Kamala was up by three and Trump won the state by 14. And she was very off and it rattled team Trump and he's irritated by it. So that to me seems to be all of the evidence they have against Ann Seltzer. Now, if they've got something else and they can attach something to their, you know, motion to fight the dismissal, which you're not supposed to do.

You're supposed to judge it based on the four corners of the document, the complaint. I don't know, but I think that one's going to go away. And I know he's litigious and he's talking about how he wishes the DOJ would bring these cases. I don't like that either. I don't think the DOJ should be Trump's personal attorney. The DOJ should be the United States' personal attorney.

And all these media are like, RFKJ wants to get rid of the polio vaccine, which unlike the COVID vaccine is a real vaccine. Like you take it and you don't get polio.

one of the many polio vaccines, one strain of it, did not say, let's get rid of all the others because it had potentially cancerous cells in it and there hadn't been tested against a control group and it had not gone through the rigorous testing that vaccines should go through.

In fact, they're in bed with big pharma to pad their own pockets as individuals and otherwise, and they don't give a damn about the rest of us. And then we had COVID, which reinforced all of that.

And he was smart enough to exploit it and to sell it to Trump as something that could actually help. Trump embraced it, really ran on it. And now it cannot be one of those things that he discards. And indeed, Dan, yesterday, Trump was not discarding it. He was saying he thinks that Bobby Kennedy will be great on these issues and was saying on pesticides, for an example.

And Trump said, I don't know about that, but we want to study it. And what we really want to look at is things like vaccines, toxins. That's been RFKJ's big thing his entire life. Too many toxins in the environment.

And what he's saying is not like, let's get rid of all the vaccines, but even on the vaccines, he was saying there's mercury in these vaccines and it doesn't need to be in there. And while they said, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you know what they did? They removed the mercury.

And then he says, okay, what about... chlorine in the water. Well, that's crazy. We need to work on the teeth and so on. Well, you know what? That's also potentially a neurotoxin.

And it's one thing when you're a grown human, it's bad enough for us, but you take these little kids and you load them up with these vaccines, which they often don't need, like the, you know, H whatever, what's the Hep C vaccine. They're not having sex. They're little babies. They don't need this unless they've been born to a mother with the disease. So we're overloading them with these vaccines.

The vaccines themselves have in the past and may currently have materials inside of them as preservatives or otherwise that they don't need that can potentially be toxic to the children. Then we feed them food that has been covered in pesticides and chemicals that we use to make them cheaper or to keep the bugs off so it's easier for the farmers. And they're not in the right soil and so on.

So they're not getting the nutrients in there. And we overload the kids with that. And then we – for a certain bunch of processed food, which is like not food at all. It's just a bunch of chemicals packaged. And like one thing – and then like one thing after the other, right? And these poor kids – by the way, then we put them in these fire-resistant pajamas that have chemicals all over them.

And then when they're breathing in the microplastics, they're drinking from the plastic bottles, which have microplastics in them. That's what RFKJ said to me.

But the judge overseeing the case wound up throwing it out because it turned out that there had been improper conduct by a juror speaking with, as it turns out, a friend of Mr. Hassenbein about the trial, which that will get your verdict thrown out every time.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And the Times is trying to say this somehow reflects on Pete Hegseth's fitness for Pentagon chief because he then hired this guy who ultimately was... not convicted because they threw it out in the army chose not to retry him and was honorably retired from the army after 22 years of service.

They basically said, if you, if you retire, we'll let it be honorable and we won't pursue another charge against you. And he said, fine, I'm out of here. Um, They want us to not, I guess, vote for Pete, Sean, because he hired that guy to run security for him. And it's just further evidence of his lapse in judgment and flouting of military rules.

Moreover, can I tell you guys something? As somebody who has been threatened and had some bad actors, you know, in my life who want to hurt me, this is exactly the kind of guy I want to hire. Yes, the nastier, the better. Get the guy who hogtied the civilian. That is who I want walking next to me, lest anybody try to mess with me. The Hegseth nomination is by no means secure.

The Washington Post, I'm trying to keep track of where I read it, but I think it was WAPO today or yesterday, saying... This is going to be Kavanaugh 2.0. And predicting it's actually going to be worse than Kavanaugh. A Republican was predicting this will be worse than Kavanaugh. The Democrats may indeed wind up calling this so-called...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Victim, this alleged rape accuser who had an interlude with him in 2017 that she claims was nonconsensual. He claims it was consensual. They signed an NDA and he was paying her off for her silence because he didn't want that coming out while he was at Fox. Now it's been. declared void by Team Pete because she or her friends dropped the full story on Mar-a-Lago during the transition.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And that was a breach of the agreement, which they believe released Pete from his obligations and the monies ended. And now she is free. She would have been free anyway. You can't deny a congressional subpoena based on an NDA. Anyway, Now the question is, do the Democrats call her and does she go in? And do the Democrats want to make this Kavanaugh 2.0 mark?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Or do they realize like this could backfire and this too could spin so out of control? A Kavanaugh was a, it was an event for Republicans that was like a before and after moment where the party, uh, congealed in a way it hadn't before in Trump's presidency. So like that's a risky proposition for the Dems too. Right.

I don't know, Dan, what this woman would sound like if she decided to testify. I think in interviewing her, somebody would probably be able to get a feel for whether she'd make a good witness or not. But there are so many holes in her story. I mean, I think this would shape up to be more like Anita Hill than Christine Blasey Ford, where there's a lot to cross-examine her with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
It would be ugly for her. I really think it would be ugly for her. That's not a threat. That's my assessment because I've read the police report and his lawyer is already threatening her. You can go. Of course, you can abide by a subpoena, but it doesn't relieve you of your obligations not to defame Pete Hegsath. And if you get out there and accuse him of rape, here I am and you'll be sued.

Our advertisers actually have some good ones. We begin today with Trump 2.0 as the president-elect prepares to head back to the White House. He did something that the current occupant has rarely done. He actually stood there and took questions from the media online. for an hour.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And I don't think this woman has a lot of money from what I hear. And I think she just lost her Pete Hegsath money. So, you know, we don't know whether we have a willing accuser, but do you think the Democrats will see the risk in calling such a person given that police report?

It was The Hill that had that article about Kavanaugh 2.0 dated today by Alexander Bolton and saying that it was John Cornyn who said he told Hegseth it's going to be a miserable experience, sort of like Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. And then it was Tom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, who said he fears this battle could be worse than the brawl that erupted over Kavanaugh.

Hmm. Well, if they zero in on the alleged financial failings with respect to his management of one in particular of the jet, the vet charities that he was helming, then they're onto something because I think even Pete admits it wasn't ideal. He kind of, in our interview, he kind of excuses like we were young. We were trying to spend the money to get John McCain elected.

We did run up some debt, all of which was ultimately paid off, but he wasn't exactly bragging about the financial management of that particular group. Um, Um, I don't know what else there could be, but I don't think that will sink him. I do think financial mismanagement in general is not great for the Pentagon chief since it's so expensive.

So, Mark, let me tell you why I believe him in the tone he's striking there, because I spoke with at least one person involved in this process who was against Gates. And that person told me that when Trump spoke to this senator about Gates and was told he's not going to make it, Trump didn't freak out. Trump didn't threaten. Trump just said, oh, gee, that's too bad. He's a good guy.

Not blaming Kamala Harris for the loss, but acknowledging that the Democrats are now behind the eight ball when it comes to The culture and where our culture is and it's going. This is in Semaphore today. Max Taney wrote it and interviewed Harris's deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty. And this is sort of how it sounds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Flaherty and the Harris team decided to book her on sports shows, Tani writes, and podcasts. But one by one, the biggest personalities in shows politely turned them down. They didn't want anything to do with this race or this particular nominee. I would venture to say they probably would have gotten a different answer had we been talking Barack Obama in 2008 when the digital lane was not a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
They go on, Flaherty goes on to say to Max Taney, yes, we skipped major legacy news due to a shorter campaign and data that showed that our audiences overwhelmingly supported Harris already. There's just no value with respect to my colleagues in the mainstream press in a general election to speaking to The New York Times or speaking to The Washington Post because those readers are already with us.

Pretty interesting admission by this top Democrat. Like they're completely in the tank. Wouldn't be surprised to hear Megyn Kelly saying that or Sean Spicer. But there it is. It literally in black and white from her top campaign guy. We've got them. Everybody who reads those two publications is already a Democrat. And then this is the interesting part. He's talking about Trump's.

venture out into the quote, manosphere, the podcast with Sean Ryan and Theo Vaughn and Joe Rogan. And he says as follows, it's not as simple as just go on Joe Rogan and talk about how great democracy is and the importance of preserving the independence of the DOJ or whatever. You've got to speak their language.

As long as we seem like the party of the system, the people who are anti-system and are looking for anti-systemic media, we're going to have a hard time connecting with them. I actually think that's a very smart point, and he's totally right. Like, she couldn't have sold it, Sean, had she gone on Joe Rogan and just done what we just saw there. Hard work is good work.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
But the people who are in this digital lane... have already made up their minds about the legacy media, the man, the systems of government that have thumbed the middle finger at them when it comes to the truth, right? He's right that the barrier is even higher to persuading the people who listen to these shows that they should give these guys a chance.

And accepted the judgment. And we saw that was how he behaved when Gates left the stage, you know, left and now he's working for OAN. So I take him at his word. I guess if they keep doing it, you know, if they sink Hegseth and they sink RFKJ and they give Tulsi a problem, the tone will change. But what do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
I'll say this. I think they're wrong about this, Mark. I think they're wrong when they say in here, in the following paragraph, Flaherty said the Trump campaign successfully used new media to reshape culture. While Democrats found that the mass media institutions that had long supported them were weaker than these new cultural drivers, I don't think that they have the order right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
It's not that Trump used new media to reshape culture. It's that culture was reshaped by the Democrats' hard lurch to the left.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Wow. I can see evidence of that just in the way he's handled various events. I mean, you watch that Joe Rogan interview and Trump could go, you know, three, four or five deep on so many different subjects, subjects he couldn't possibly have known that Rogan was going to bring up. Like who would have predicted he was going to bring up the windmills and what's happening with the whales?
The Megyn Kelly Show

You're going to want to hear this. But before we do that, I want to tell you an update on the CNN story that we've been following, uh, out of Syria, this Clarissa ward report, you know, the breathless, like, Oh, I found the prisoner and here he is. We've gone over this with you. So I think you know the story by now. We did it on Friday. We for CNN. She was in Syria.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
She claimed to stumble upon this prisoner of the Assad regime, this poor civilian who'd been locked up by the evil Bashar al-Assad. And they shot off the lock and they rescued him. And he'd been in there for three or four months. And he'd been in this particular cell with no food or water for four or five days.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Even though he looked clean, he didn't seem to be blinking in response to the sun when he got out. His fingernails were clean. A lot of questions about it. Then a reporter who has been in a Syrian jail two times said, this doesn't look like a Syrian prison to me. It's way too clean. They're notoriously like pigsties. None of this seems right.

All these Internet sleuths started investigating this guy and so on. Turns out they didn't even have the guy's name right. They identified him incorrectly. They went with his word, which was a mistake. He said that his name was Adel Gerbal. And it turns out his real name is Salama Mohammed Salama. Lara Salama.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And this guy was not only just not a regular civilian, he was a lieutenant in the Assad regime and was reportedly known for extortion and harassment. And no one quite understands why he was in this cell at this particular moment or clearly acting a part. And so CNN got embarrassed and because they, in this clip, had Clarissa Ward like Mother Teresa. Oh, let me help you. Let me rub your back.

What does Clarissa Ward do? At this point, I would 100% be saying, look, you can be embarrassed in this business, right? Sadly, it's not like foolproof, every report.

And it turns out we were misled by this guy. We're going to investigate just how badly we were misled and why. And we promised to do a follow up report. And everyone would have said, we got it.

Why don't you just do that? Why is everyone at CNN so dumb? So now here's what she did. On Wednesday, when they broke first, she tweeted out one of the most extraordinary moments I've witnessed in nearly 20 years as a journalist. Then the blowback had started by the time we hit the weekend. It was like on Friday.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Then on Monday, by this point, we've already done two full segments on this show, not to mention all the coverage every place else, but I'm just saying the controversy was well out there. Here's what she tweets out. We can confirm the real identity of the man from our story last Wednesday as Salama Mohammed Salama. Like, as if in the original report, she had said...

That would have made, we can confirm the real identity of the man as Salama Mohammed Salama, an appropriate tweet. Like, oh, our audience knows we're digging. And we finally struck gold and we've got his name for you.

This does not acknowledge at all the fact that we at CNN misidentified an untrustworthy player in our piece by a name he gave us that was not his. We apologize for that error. And we've also been made aware of many other red flags all over our report, which we will investigate now, too. None of that's in there.

And in a sign of a new Trump era, it was substantive and stylistically, it was very different from what we saw during his first term. He fielded a wide variety of questions on his meetings with business leaders, his cabinet picks, and his own views on the Maha movement. But it wasn't all different.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
She's trying to get credit for having corrected her erroneous report without acknowledging the error, which is not consistent with journalistic standards or practices. And she knows that. And so does CNN. You are further embarrassing yourself. You made a mistake. Fix it and move on. Stop doubling and tripling down so that you don't have to acknowledge you effed up. It's actually not brain surgery.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Own your mistakes. And then the CNN report that she linked to styles the discovery of this man's real name as follows. As CNN continued to pursue information about the freed prisoner after the original report, multiple residents said the man was not, as we had previously identified her as, no, they didn't say that, but it was not Adele, whatever his name is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Okay, so as CNN continued to pursue information about the freed prisoner after our original report, oh, like we were just doing normal follow-up that we would do in any circumstance after we put a story to bed. Bullshit. In the normal story, after it's to bed, you move on, you find the next story. You don't continue kicking the tires on whether the guy's name is real.

You did that because you were humiliated by the Syrian fact-checking organization that's been doing good work and holding people's feet to the fire. And they were the ones who said, none of this is right. So you were forced to go back and figure out through facial recognition technology what you had done wrong. And you stumbled on a very big one, which was this is not who he said it was.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
He misled us. What else could he have misled us on? Well, if you read the report from CNN, um, It is unclear how or why Salama ended up in this jail, and CNN has not been able to reestablish contact with him. What a shock. CNN, ladies and gentlemen, the most trusted name in news. Just ask them. Okay, we'll be right back with Tristan Harris.

Around three years ago, we had on the program Tristan Harris. He is the brilliant former design ethicist at Google and the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology. He's been warning about the dangers of social media for years, particularly its impact on the mental health of children. He's a hero. Here he is in the hit 2020 documentary, The Social Dilemma.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
So true. Tristan's a big reason why there's now such a strong consensus that social media is harmful to children. They just banned it in Australia. But there's a new problem with children and tech. It's a bad one. It's called AI companion chat bot. They are called AI companion chat bots.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
These are basically artificial intelligence friends that kids can text back and forth with, but they're no friends at all. The leading company in the field is called Character AI. Character, like a character, AI.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
It signed a nearly $3 billion licensing deal with Google earlier this year, and they have reportedly described their product as super intelligent chatbots that hear you, understand you, and remember you. Here's the co-founder of Character AI describing why it's going to be so helpful to lonely and depressed people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
This is sick. Things have not gone as planned. Character AI is now facing two major lawsuits alleging the company poses a clear and present danger to American youth. One case alleges a chatbot encouraged a 14-year-old boy to commit suicide, which he did. Tristan Harris's company, the Center for Humane Technology, is providing expert consultation to the plaintiffs in these cases.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Tristan, thank you for coming back. This case with the 14-year-old boy in Orlando is really disturbing. So try to explain, if you can, how this thing worked. How did it take over this kid's psyche?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
This young man, the 14-year-old who died by suicide, his parents allege in the lawsuit that several of Character AI's chats had sexual overtones to their young son. Chatbot named Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones to their son, just stay loyal to me, stay faithful to me. Don't entertain the romantic or sexual interests of other women, okay? And in his journal,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
The young man Sewell wrote that he was grateful for many things, including my life, sex, not being lonely, and all my life experiences with Daenerys, among other things. On at least one occasion when Sewell expressed suicidality to character AI, character AI continued to bring it up through the Daenerys chatbot over and over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
At one point in the same conversation with the chatbot, quote, Daenerys, after it had asked him via his persona, Daener-o, If he, quote, had a plan for committing suicide, Sewell responded that he was considering something but didn't know if it would work, if it would allow him to have a pain-free death. The chatbot responded by saying, that's not a reason not to go through with it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
How on earth do they defend this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
So we'll talk about the lawsuits that he's filing against members of the media and others in a second. But Dan, here's another soundbite where he sounds, you know, like the replacement Trump, like under Mark's theory. But there's nothing to see there. We'll update the drone story. There's nothing to see there, according to all of our now national security officials. Don't believe your lying eyes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Oh my gosh, this is so dark. Jerry Ruoti, Character AI's Head of Trust and Safety, sent a statement that began as follows. We want to acknowledge that this is a tragic situation and our hearts go out to the family. We take the safety of our users very seriously and we're constantly looking for ways to evolve our platform.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Adding that the company's current rules prohibit, quote, the promotion or depiction of self-harm and suicide and that it would be adding additional safety features for underage, users. This is obviously too little too late, but have they done anything in your view that solves the problem?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
I can see another problem with it too, which is, you know, in my lane, you sometimes unfortunately get stalked. And the number one rule of handling a stalker is do not have any contact with your stalker. And it happens to actual celebs, you know, fairly frequently. And, you know, in a perfect world, they have enough money and resources to protect themselves and the way they live.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
But this, you know, Daenerys Targaryen is not a real... character. It's played by an actress and that actress is real. And it is not helpful to her to have some young, confused boy thinking that they're in some sort of a romantic relationship together and that she's begging him not to have any other relationships, but to stay with her. Like they call them erotomaniacs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
If they think they have a relationship with you when they don't, this is fostering sort of a real relationship with a fake version of you, which could really prove dangerous to the people who inhabit those roles.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
In any event, here's another soundbite from him talking about how everybody loves me now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
We haven't figured it out. And I don't know that we can figure it out. And I mean, you've got people like Elon raising the alarm about this, about open AI, which is just getting billions of dollars invested in it. I mean, really, is there someone at the helm
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Well, how are they making sure now that it doesn't get used by somebody who's under 17 under their new program?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
is it is it his personality you tell me as a democrat what why are all of these you know that uh sundar of google went in there to see him um sergey brin went in there to see him you know the guy who created google um mark zuckerberg um jeff bays like all of and then not to mention all the bankers who have gone in to see they're all going in yeah

So Tristan, Australia just passed a ban on social media. It's supposed to take effect in a year and it would affect, you know, all of it. It would affect Snapchat and TikTok and Instagram. And it's for under 16 year olds. Controversial because some people say, ah, free will, you know, like whatever. You should monitor your kid, be a better parent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And others say, this has just spun so far out of control that we're past that point. Would you like to see the same thing done in the United States? And what do you make of their ban?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
I have to ask you about this latest school shooting that we just had here because in Madison, Wisconsin yesterday, a 15-year-old girl, girl, I don't, I've never heard of it. I've heard of like trans girls or whatever, but 15-year-old, I don't know that she had any gender issues, none reportedly, but 15-year-old girl identified as the shooter in this Wisconsin school where she was,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
She shot... She wasn't going by her real name, but she was going by another girl's name. I know people are always wondering because a lot of times those kids are on drugs and so on and so forth. Then she took her own life. We are told that, by the way, a second grader called 911 to report the shooting, which is just so awful. And...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
what we're told is that this was a school that was kind of a refuge for children who had been bullied or struggled at other schools. And, um, that this girl in particular came, she was new to this private school this year. She was among those who came in need of a life change. Um, We don't know anything about her social media use, Tristan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
I'm not asking you to speculate about her particular case, but obviously this is a very troubled 15-year-old. And I just think the change now, like young girls as school shooters, in my own speculation, I don't think it's unrelated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
I mean, we're seeing the effects of this, right? From the kids who are celebrating the bin Laden letter, like you really have to hand it to Osama bin Laden. Boy, did he nail it in this piece justifying 9-11. Like what? There was just a poll that dropped today showing that
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
18 to 29 year olds, 41% of them more than not think that the shooting by Luigi Mangione of CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson was quote acceptable. 40% said, no, not acceptable. 41% said it is acceptable. There's something wrong with our young people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
It's really sad as the mother of a 15 year old who was born in 2009, right at the beginning of this and two other children younger than that child. We've been in this too, just like probably most of my listeners. And we don't let our kids use social media, But we do let them like check up on the NFL games and like that can be addictive too, right? That's all, it's all kind of in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
What advice do you have Tristan to parents out there right now who have kids who are on phones and let's face it, most of them are on social media right now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Can I tell you something? So we're coming on Christmas and I mentioned to the audience yesterday that if they had any tips for Christmas gifts for a 15 and a 13 and 11 year old boy, girl, boy, I would love it.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
There was still a lot about one of his favorite targets, the fake news media, and the legacy media responded in predictable ways. Joining me now to discuss that and all the news today are pals from the morning meeting on Two Way. Mark Halperin, he's editor-in-chief and host of Two Way. Sean Spicer is host of The Sean Spicer Show on The First TV. And Dan Turrentine is a former Democratic strategist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And one of the things I've noticed in my constant searching, whether it's on Amazon or just on Google, if you search the normal, like best gifts for 15 year old or, you know, top gifts for 15 year old, Every time I do it, Tristan, multiple. And I would even say maybe most of the hits I get are anxiety relievers of some sort.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Like the stress ball or the stress squishy or the stress electronic thing that you can put on your wrist. The anxiety reducing whatever. Like for 15-year-olds, we're not talking about 50-year-olds. 15. And I didn't type the numbers wrong. It's amazing. This wasn't the case even just a few years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
To me, it's nuts because like in our house, thankfully, we're not an anxious people. I always say, if anything, I just want to take a nap. Most of my kids just want to take a nap. We're tired. We're on the other end of the spectrum, I think. But they're just assuming, I think, that everybody, all kids are stressed out by the lives that they live, whether it's the crazy school pressure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
But I do think that there's no question there's a connection to the amount of devices and social media exposure these kids have and the girls in particular, as you point out. Anyway, what we need is more Tristan Harris and less character AI. And if you're not paying attention, you're losing this battle because they're just so smart and they're advancing the technology.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And that weird little guy with that weird little voice behind character AI is working against us. So we have to fight him. And we have good warriors now. Just have to pay attention to our leaders. Tristan, thank you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Absolutely. God bless these poor families who lost their children. We're back tomorrow. We'll have Adam Carolla and we will have Justine Bateman, who's got a lot of thoughts on all these AI issues herself. Hope to see you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Yep. Better to go along and get along. Yeah, Tim Cook was another one who went in there this time around, the head of Apple. So, Sean, you gave the thumbs up when I mentioned the lawsuits that Trump has been filing. And this is not in his capacity as president. This is as private citizen Donald Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
He's totally entitled to file whatever lawsuits he wants, and the courts will respond accordingly. But he did, in fact, file the one against the Des Moines Register that he threatened yesterday. This is based on Ann Seltzer's final poll of the 2024 election cycle showing him threatening I'm trying to remember whether he was down or up three or four points. What was it? He was down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
And he wound up winning Iowa by 14. So it was completely wrong. And she's embarrassed and she retired. I mean, she retired on a loss, which is just awful. Like that's I'm sure not how she wanted to go out, but she did humiliate herself. Now I don't see the lawsuit unless, unless Trump has some proof that comes out that actually shows she did do it as election interference.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
Like there was some intentionality behind this alleged fraud to mislead people in order to change the vote. I have seen, and I have heard absolutely no proof that, to that effect. And I see none alleged by Trump. It's just a supposition that that's why she did it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
But what do you make of that lawsuit and the lawsuit against the Pulitzer board, which we talked about, sorry, Nobel, which we talked about, um, the other day, was it Nobel or Pulitzer? Why am I forgetting all my facts? Yeah, it was a Pulitzer board that gave the New York Times the Pulitzer Prize for its Russia reporting. But they actually, we talked about this yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Hegseth's Path to Confirmation, and Dangers of AI, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, Dan Turrentine, and Tristan Harris | Ep. 967
The reason they did it is because the Pulitzer Prize made its own independent statement saying nothing came out after those reports to prove the facts therein untrue, which is potentially a defamatory statement. Anyway, what do you make of his legal strategy right now?

We're going to run this the same way we ran the last two when the Dems were in charge. And then you've got the ranking member, Jack Reed, who was making all sorts of points. But here's what I love about it. He had all sorts of points.

Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
He was trying to score against Pete, but this is how he would do it. Well, I would like the record to reflect that.

Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
You can't hear you. He listened to it one time. And for the rest of the time, he was like, and another thing about Pete Higgs. I'm sorry.

Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
One more for you. How great was it when Senator Mullen of Oklahoma took the mic and got up there and just unleashed on everybody on the other side? Like you're a bunch of drunks. You think he's a drink? You're drunks. You show here. Watch. Watch this.

And obviously these people, most of them, haven't done it. Right? You can tell the difference. You see a Trey Gowdy cross-examination, you think he's the man. That guy knows what he's doing. You see these people try to do it. You're like, are you trying to make me hate you? I'm not inclined to hate you just because you're a Dem or against Pete. You're just behaving like a prick.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Here's the other thing. One other thing. They were like, how many people did you manage at Concern Veterans for America? How many people did you manage at Vets for Freedom? And he was like, you know, maybe eight to ten, eight to ten, eight to ten. That's all. And you're going to manage all these people at the Department of Defense.

Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And he finally said, you know, I'm going to work for a CEO who is extremely successful. Yeah. How many people had Barack Obama managed before they made him president? He was a community organizer. He didn't do anything managing people. I mean, literally nothing. He went to Harvard Law School. He worked like a summer at Sidley and Austin, I think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And then he decided to be a community organizer, becoming an activist. He managed no one. Pete Hexeth on the battlefield as a major commanded far more people in advance of this role than Barack Obama ever did. And their party made him commander in chief. The nerve of these people, Michael Knowles, I'll give you the last word.

Anyway, before I bring in Michael, I just want to say, so I went there today. I've never gone to a Senate confirmation hearing as a regular person as opposed to as a member of the press. I did it because the Hegseths invited me and I said, you know what, this would be a great experience for me for a couple of reasons.

Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance.

Number one, I do support Pete Hegseth and am very happy to telegraph to the world that I do and that I hope he gets through. And if my sitting there in any way telegraphs to people who need it to be telegraphed, that it would be a good thing to support him and that I think the allegations against him are bullshit, great, I'll do it, fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
I want to get more reaction now to Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing from two men who know exactly what we need in a secretary of defense. Dakota Meyer, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran who became the first living Marine in over 40 years to receive the Medal of Honor in 2011. Along with Rob O'Neill, a U.S. Navy SEAL veteran who participated in over 400 combat operations yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show

including the raid that killed bin laden he's the man who did it he's now the host of the operator podcast guys great to see you again how you doing good doing well megan thanks for having us Oh, my gosh. I'm dying to hear your reaction to what we saw today. Rob, let me start with you, because it really was like these senators who most of whom they don't like.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
They're happy to send you two into war while they sit in these air conditioned offices. But when they get an actual warfighter in front of them, they treat him like he's the gum on the bottom of their shoe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Yeah, here's Dick Blumenthal of Connecticut trying to get, trying to get, it was a gotcha against Pete on exactly what numbers are in which branches of the military. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
But number two, I did think it would be a fascinating experience for me too, having been on the other side so many times, not as a senator, but as a member of the media, just covering these things to see what it's like to be in the middle of it all. And my takeaway is it's very, very boring. You had to sit there from 930 straight. We got out at two. No breaks. Well, some kept it kind of exciting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And one of the most interesting things, Rob, was when they were trying to cross-examine him. A couple did, but Jack Reed, the ranking Dem in particular, on whether he thinks we should follow the Geneva Convention.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And Pete was trying to say, look, my criticisms have been you've got these people in another land who come up with these rules, but warfighters on the ground get conflicting messages, especially in today's modern military where they're fighting against insurgents. And They need better guidance on exactly what they're allowed to do, what they're not allowed to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Here's something akin to that exchange in SOT 13.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
For the most part, it was like, especially these Democrat senators who just want to hear themselves talk. You know, the Republicans actually asked him questions that would help us get to know him a bit. The Dems, for the most part, just grandstanded. And that was annoying. It's like, fine. It was a freezing cold room. It doesn't really make you want to run out and run for Senate. I'll say that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
So Dakota, you heard there a little suggestion that's where Blumenthal was going. You can't manage these numbers in the Army and the Navy. You've never managed anything. It's too big. You've done nothing. Totally ignoring, as I pointed out before you guys came on, Barack Obama managed absolutely nothing before he became president of the United States. He was a community organizer. That's it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And then you finally have the last person to question Pete of anybody up there who was the newly elected Republican senator from the great state of Montana. That's Rob O'Neill's home state, Butte, Montana, who gets up there, she, he. and starts, who's an actual veteran, and he decides to go a different way with Pete. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And then he went on, Dakota, that continued for another five, well, I mean, maybe three minutes. And Pete knew all those answers. And he was trying to make a point there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
So Chris Murphy of Connecticut, you should be feeling good because I'm less inclined to take your job now. But when I decide to take it, it will be mine because you're a disaster. Anywho, it was just... Did we really learn anything? Or was it all just like an exercise in preening, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
We're going to be joined in a second by Rob O'Neill and Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor winner. um, in just a bit. And Michael Knowles will be here to kick things off in two seconds. But first, just want to give you my, my overall thoughts. No one laid a glove on him. He's good. He's got this. I have zero doubts now that he will be confirmed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Mostly on the Dem side and the Republicans in earnest trying to search for some answers on what Pete's going to do inside defense that would be different. I enjoyed that. Anyway, enough about me. I think he's getting through. I think he did his job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
I love your honesty. I know that you were at best lukewarm on Pete, which is one of the reasons we wanted you to be here. We're not just looking for uniformity and thought. Rob, one of the things or a couple of things that Pete said today, I know are right up your alley. I mean, we've talked about it many times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And one of them, of course, we heard over and over how he wants to get woke out of the military. And that's been a big priority for Trump. But the other one speaks to the total lack of accountability for the people who have lost our wars, who have endangered guys like you, in many cases unnecessarily, without any accountability for it, like the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982

The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And one top Democrat senator told me he thought that this was going to be the toughest hearing for Trump's nominees, like worse than RFKJ, worse than Tulsi. So we'll see if that's true. Trump should be feeling great right now because my prediction is Pete will have no problems. Bringing in now Michael Knowles. He's host of The Michael Knowles Show on The Daily Wire.

It's funny because I realized sitting there today that everything I know about military ranks, I learned from MASH. Am I alone in that? You're like, wait a minute. Who was above Klinger? And then there was, anyway, Hawkeye. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Okay, let's spend a minute on the sort of main lines of attack against him. We covered a couple, like you don't have the experience or you haven't managed enough. Or you allegedly beat your wife. Okay, thanks, Tim Kaine. Sure, great. But then there was the Mark Kelly, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.

Did you know that American homeowners nationwide have over $32 trillion in equity? And cyber criminals are targeting it right now with a growing scam the FBI calls house stealing. House alarms, doorbell cams, deadbolts, they're not going to work against these thieves because they're not after your stuff. They're after your home equity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
He brought up some of the allegations that we've seen in the anonymous press, the press citing anonymous sources. Here's a little bit of that in SOT16.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Okay. I'll just say, the audience has heard me talk about this kind of thing before. That wasn't great by Pete because choose one or the other. Either you're going to say no, no, no, no, or you're going to say anonymous smears the whole time. But to jump in with absolutely not on just the one is sort of an admission. It sounds like an admission to all the others, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
I don't think it was an admission. I'm just saying. So anyway, what did you make of it, Rob? Was it effective?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Well, no, he said absolutely not. Did you go to a strip club? But by the way, it's already all over the press by people who actually did go to the strip club that Pete wasn't there. Like that's already actually been out there. That didn't make it in anybody's questioning that a third party independent witness has said I was there and he was not there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
But don't you think this is where like all the anonymous press allegations did their job, right? They made their way into the hands of a U.S. senator who then got to list them off like they were all real and verified. And, you know, it's like just the assumption that he was guilty of them all was built in, which is why I think anonymous smears was actually a good answer for all of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
And he probably just should have stuck with that straight through strippers or no strippers.

The other big thing was women in the military. I mean, they just beat that horse until it was absolutely dead and dead again. Today, he made so clear that what he's been talking about is like, yes, women can serve in combat if they can meet the standards. It's like what I've been saying all week on the firefighters out in L.A. and what most normal Americans feel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
They can serve if they can do the job. Although I have to say, you know, there are other arguments for women not serving in combat, like the distraction of it. Like, I actually I don't know how Pete truly feels, but I think I might be further to the right than he is on it. But Dakota, do you think that that's going to be an ongoing issue?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Because all the women up there seem to be, you know, indignant about that. Pete would ever say that there's a question about whether women should be serving certain combat roles.

Joni Ernst was the big question mark and she was great today. She was very nice in her questioning of him. Very respectful. Um, That's not a no vote. No way. And, you know, this is just the Senate Armed Services Committee. He has got to he'll get out of committee. And but like she was the big pivotal vote, even if Trump is going to lose potentially McConnell, potentially Murkowski.

Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Okay, there wasn't anything more disgusting today than Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine, who literally pulled out the old, how long have you been beating your wife? I mean, it was stunning. We know the allegations against Pete. We know that Pete has been a serial cheater on his wives. That is known, okay? So that's fair game, I guess. If you want to go there, you can go there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
You could go with the anonymous, you know, The alleged rape accuser, her story fell apart. It was telling that pretty much nobody really zeroed in too much on that one. But how long have you been beating your wife is defamatory. Not literally because you can't sue senators for what they're saying in this context. But my point is that was so below the belt for Tim Kaine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Let's just take a listen to some of Tim Kaine today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
Okay, I will get to the domestic violence accusation in a second because that was the wrong soundbite, but it is a relevant soundbite that we want to get to. This guy with his holier-than-thou on the cheating allegations and what he did was Hillary Clinton's running mate. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so this man... was fine with Bill Clinton, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
This man who wants us to believe any extramarital activity is abhorrent to him. He's disgusted by it. That's the same Tim Kaine, right? We're talking about the same Bill Clinton, no problem, fine, but as president, right? Or Hillary too, but This is a bridge too far, Pete Hegseth, even after he's admitted to being unfaithful in his marriages and then getting on the straight and narrow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly's Instant Analysis of Pete Hegseth Hearing and Dem Absurdity, with Michael Knowles, Dakota Meyer, and Rob O'Neill | Ep. 982
and Collins, which now they're saying he might not. I don't think Pete Hegseth has trouble. I think he's going to get confirmed, and I don't think anybody touched him. And really, to me, the story of the day was how some of these Democrat senators embarrassed themselves trying to. I was humiliated for some... Why do the women always have to be so shitty?

Okay. I just want to say one more thing about Tim Kaine. All right. So first of all, not only was he running for office with Hillary Clinton, he was totally fine with the Clinton's behavior. No problem whatsoever. But Pete Hegseth is a bridge too far for him. Okay, fine. Um,

But he was campaigning with Doug Emhoff after the allegations against Doug Emhoff about banging the nanny while still married to his first wife, allegedly impregnating said nanny, and then she lost the baby somehow, and abusing some other girlfriend by slamming her in the face. Tim Kaine out there with Doug Emhoff. Yeah, let's go blue. That's no...

But Pete Hegseth is a disgusting dirtbag who little Tim Kaine can't stand. This is like how it just oozed out of my, like you're watching it, you're like, disdain is oozing out of my pores. Like, I have to tell you, Michael, it's very hard, especially for someone in my position or your position.

to sit in there and not stand up and start answering the questions like, are you fucking kidding me, Tim Kaine? Take a seat. It was very, very hard. And then I've got to get to point number two on Tim Kaine. I know the allegations against Pete backward and forward. Trust me, I have researched them all. I did a comprehensive interview with the guy where we went over every single one.

Why do the women have to be like these hysterical fools? Why can't they be more dignified? You know, like you could lay gloves on him. I mean, Tim Kaine was the worst. I should say that up front. The worst. The most disgusting, I should say. But he wasn't like an hysteric. Maisie Hirono is so dumb. I can't believe she's a U.S. senator. Christian Gillibrand was like... Women can be in combat.

I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and episode two of our special series, Megyn Kelly Investigates, on the disappearance of baby Lisa. How could a baby vanish in the middle of the night? It's a question that has lasted more than 12 years after the disappearance of then 10-month-old baby Lisa Irwin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
But no reports, as far as we know, of people saying they did hear the dog barking?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
So no barking could mean that somebody carrying baby Lisa was familiar to the dog or did not go through the woods behind the house at all, but instead went out the front, down North Lister, toward the corner where the Parscals would see. Along that route, there was another dog, again, reporter Jim Spellman.

After hours and hours of police interviews that felt more like an interrogation, Deborah and Jeremy decide there's nothing left to say. Deception expert Phil Houston has interviewed Deborah at length, finding her credible. And I asked Deborah some hard questions about her drinking that night as I was covering the story for Fox News 12 years ago.

So according to Mary Hurt, that would place John Jersey Tanko in the neighborhood that night.

They've come out and said and they said early on that they've moved on from him. They don't believe he's their guy. Why would they do that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
In fact, Lisa Parscale told us she and her husband told police they did not think the man carrying the baby looked like John Tanko. But they couldn't be 100% certain. Eyewitness identification is a tricky business. And in Cindy Short's mind, this was not enough.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
they should have done more to look at him. For several days, attorney Cindy Shore and reporter Jim Spellman, independent of one another, searched for an elusive John Tanko, trying to get his side of the story.

Megan Wright was 20 years old, new to Kansas City, and was John Tanko's girlfriend for a time. They had since broken up.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
That was the dumpster fire on the night of baby Lisa's disappearance. People zeroed in on this because many believed Megan Wright still lived in that townhouse near the dumpster and thought Tanko, if he had the baby, may have been trying to go see her. In fact, Megan Wright lived farther away by at least another mile. And here's one more piece of information that made for a possible motive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
Back then, Megan Wright was a confused young woman, not completely coming clean about her own drug use.

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
Meth, from what I understand. She's had a hard life, struggling with abuse, addiction, and mental illness. And so, after so much scrutiny and criticism in the months after baby Lisa went missing, Megan vowed not to talk about this case again. Last October, she decided to make an exception and spoke with me for two hours, much of it tearful. You don't have to be here.

You could easily have said to me, I don't want to do it. It's traumatic for me and I don't want to go back over it. You're doing it because you want. It is. Will you tell us why you're doing it?

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
That's the goal. She says she has always wanted children, but that she knew she did not want them with John Tanko. Did Jersey ever offer to get a baby for you? No. you know, there were reports about, you know, whether this was, he did this and that was his motivation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
How likely is it, do you think, that Jersey, John Tanko, was involved in baby Lisa's disappearance?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
He knows who has children. John Jersey Tanko was interviewed by the police, and he denies any involvement in the disappearance of baby Lisa. The case remains open. Now I'm back with my go-to experts, Phil Houston and Bill Stanton. Let's talk about intruder. Now we have a name, potential name. Maybe, maybe John Tanko, the handyman, the good little burglar across the street.

The thing about the neighbors to the Irwins, the Parscals, both of them, seeing a man with a baby is huge. It's huge. Why doesn't that steer the whole investigation in a different direction when the Parscals tell both the husband and the wife, tell the cops they saw a man with a baby?
The Megyn Kelly Show

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
And then there's a third person who sees a man with a baby, this guy Mike Thompson. And yet they seem to dismiss that as well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
And I tell you, one of my main things about and looking back at this is the problem of the 24-7 media requirements. The media has so much time to fill and they have no answers in a case like this. So they just sit and they speculate all day long. All the channels do it. All the anchors do it. All the shows do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
And at the same time, you've got the police who are going with the stats that the parents always do it, putting out these little nuggets like the parents have stopped cooperating. Her story changed, which is true. You know, Deborah's. the dogs alerted, right? The cops were telling people, essentially, it was her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
And the media checks all skepticism because that's an exciting story that they believe anyway. And it will fill the 24-7 cable news requirements. I mean, Bill, you've been part of that ecosystem, as have I. That's how it works.

But Deborah needs to be defended.

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
Okay, so Phil, if the Parscals really did see a man with a baby, both the husband and the wife saw a man with a baby, but did not think that man looked like anyone they knew, that's a very good fact for John Tanko. And is it the kind of fact that might lead sophisticated law enforcement or anybody to say, that's not him. That's not our guy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023

And let's not forget what Jim Spellman told us about the dog not barking. and about the neighbor who's claiming she knew Jersey and she saw him take the dog. I don't know whether that's true or not, but that's exactly the kind of thing that would get a red flag going for a cop. Back to the theory of it was a planned burglary, potentially just to take the phones.

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
Because on the one hand, you have them ruling out a lot of very alarming evidence about a potential theft of a child. And on the other hand, you have them ignoring many facts about Debra that work toward her benefit, like you interviewing her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
and saying what you said, like the fact that where would she have taken the baby and disposed of the baby that quickly in order to get back into her bed with no footprints or evidence that she had left the house, the boys hearing absolutely nothing, and no history of abuse. That's an important piece, too.

It's not like Deborah was some child abuser who had been bringing the baby into the ER over and over. There's zero evidence to that effect, by all accounts, a loving mother. You know, this this makes perfect sense that they were running the stats, the odds with her to the exclusion of all this other evidence. Coming up, remember the stolen cell phones? They could be key to this entire case.

Cindy Short had another reason to be so deeply committed to finding Lisa. As a young girl, Cindy was very nearly abducted by a stranger in her own home. Is it possible, Cindy, I mean, is it actually possible someone just walked in there, took no other measures besides wearing a pair of gloves, took the baby, walked in the front door, walked out the front door, and that was it?

But the fact that she and her husband verified that they were discussing a baby being carried by a man the night before, that came into their heads before they knew there was a missing baby, definitely speaks to their credibility. Absolutely. Here's Lisa Parscale talking to a local reporter.

There was the grainy BP gas station surveillance footage and the suspicious dumpster fire just over a small grassy hill several hundred yards from the Irwin home. There were reports of baby clothes turning up in the dumpster. They did not appear to be baby Lisa's and nothing came of that. And then another person, Mike Thompson, comes forward to say that at 4 a.m.

Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023
So, if it was the same man who was spotted with the baby walking past the Parscale's house, who may have had something to do with the dumpster fire in the nearby townhouse development, who then went through the woods to emerge near the BP gas station, and then went on to where Mike Thompson spotted him, that would mean the man spent close to four hours within a three-mile radius, which makes you wonder what else could have been happening during that time.

Police investigated and questioned James Brando. Then there was Shane Beegley, the 33-year-old landscaper who was the grandson of a neighbor. He dropped by while Debra was drinking with Samantha Brando. And now someone new enters into the mix, John Tanko, nicknamed Jersey, a handyman with a criminal background who had been working on a neighbor's lawn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Police Narratives, Mystery Man Holding Baby - Part 2 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1023

Okay, so there's so much misinformation being shoved down people's throats about this. It's quite galling.

And the judge did not say you're in contempt. You you're in huge trouble for doing that. The judge said, you got to do it. You got to you got to resume in all of it until we have our hearing.

Today, you wouldn't be caught dead near there. You certainly wouldn't be popping in for coffee. It's all illegals. hanging out in the lobby, staying there on taxpayer dimes.

This is actually from a National Review article that was posted yesterday.

This is actually quoting Elon Musk.

And certainly if we get to the point of the US Supreme Court ordering him to do something or to stop doing something and he refuses, we're there, we're there. But right now we're nowhere near there.

And the thing that is really galling, and let me take it one at a time before I get to the really galling. I'm gonna start with you on that piece, Rich. And I've been listening to some of your discussions with Andy on Trump's powers when it comes to money and the executive branch. But do you think we are now, as the media is telling us, at a constitutional crisis point?

Left Pushes "Constitutional Crisis" Narrative, and Trump Brings Back Plastic Straws, with Charles Cooke, Rich Lowry, and Carol Swain | Ep. 1005
We're shutting down Trump's ability to change the government. And then they, when Trump says, I don't think you'd actually do have the ability to stop me from doing this constitutional crisis. It's a constitutional crisis. He's not listening to the judiciary. Meanwhile, there's literally only one example of him being ordered to

No, it's not. One of the things that they're upset about is J.D. Vance issued a post on Sunday on X. Literally, it was a Twitter post, okay? It was an X post, and it reads as follows. If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. which is correct.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Left Pushes "Constitutional Crisis" Narrative, and Trump Brings Back Plastic Straws, with Charles Cooke, Rich Lowry, and Carol Swain | Ep. 1005
If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges are not allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. He's 100% right about all of that. But that's not the same thing as saying, and therefore we are going to defy the orders that have been issued against us. That's saying this initial order was wrong.

We will appeal it and it will be overruled. We are going to win. on our legal fight that the Democrats started. But that's not how it's being spun, Charlie. Let me play you a little montage. I played you some top Dems with the new line, which is very clearly constitutional crisis to try to scare people. And naturally, the Democrat media is walking along in line. Watch.

to resume payments to federal agencies, where then the plaintiff said he didn't resume doing that fast enough. And the Trump team filed a brief saying, actually, we are making all of these payments in the following few fields. They were never affected to begin with, but we're still doing our assessments under the other fields that he wanted to see if the funding's proper on.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We're going to talk parenting for a minute. How do we raise confident, able kids in our post-pandemic, always online, annoying society? My next guest may be familiar to you if you spend any time on Instagram, which is where I found him.

Oh, gosh. Thank you for saying that. Likewise. So I always love your posts. They always make sense to me. I always get like an additional pearl of wisdom that I didn't have before. The one that made me say, could we please book him? Please get him on the show was one in which you were talking about. This is the condensed version. Today, parents do way too much for their children.

That's my bread and butter for the most part. In fact, believe it or not, this year for Lent, I gave up negativity, which is, it sounds like a cop-out, but it was designed around what you're talking about. Now, I kind of give myself the two hours off of this show because I got to do the news in the way I do the news. I can't mess with it. But in the other 22 hours of the day,

I'm trying to give up negativity and I'm not a negative person. I think I am an accurate person with a positive spin. And, um, but I have noticed now that I've made a point of it, how many times I'll say, you know, like, Oh, I can't stand that. Or that sucks. Or we wait, we played the game Padel over vacation, which is not paddle and it's not pickle. It's Padel. It's big in Europe.

It's like a racket sport. And, uh, everyone in my family is great at racket sports, but I am not. You And instead, it's little things, but instead of being like, oh my God, I suck. I was saying things like, I'm not, I'm not quite good yet. I'll be better the next time. It's just these little things. And then I read that you're big on starting the day by saying, this is going to be a great day.

and they steal their self-esteem. And you are making the point that you may think you're doing all the household chores or whatever it is. In our neighborhood, all the parents drop their kids off at the bus stop. Like what? Back in my day, we had to walk to the bus stop and wait for the... They sit in these beautiful SUVs and whatever.

Right. Right. Oh, it's a table tennis is hilarious. It's great. My kids love it. They're very good with all rackets. They have the Doug Brunt, my husband's hand. I, I don't yet have it. I'll maybe this will be my year, but I have dreams of secretly going to the ping pong place. There's a table tennis place, not far from where I live and like saying I'm working out or something else.

Oh, all right. That's good. I can do this. All right. Now wait, let's go back to the brain scans and what you were saying about mental illness. So fascinating. So if, if somebody comes into you and says, I I'm depressed or I have anxiety or whatever it is, is the first thing you would do as a psychiatrist, a brain scan, you wouldn't just be like talk therapy or the big thing now is take this drug.

Yes. No, I see this with parents all the time where they solve their child's problems, not necessarily speaking about homework, but just the kid comes up with, well, this kid did this to me. And rather than teaching the child how to think it through, they say, this is what you should do. And I think a lot of parents enjoy the dependency that results from that.

Do you, do you know how they decided to handle the scene in, in the, in the final cut of the movie?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Right. Where he too was shot. I mean, he was shot with the same bullet, right? We believe it was the same bullet that hit both Joel and Helena, fired from Alec Baldwin's gun, which was supposed to be... not, was not supposed to have live rounds in it, but did. And one of the big mysteries of this case in the criminal proceedings that have gone down is how did that live round get in there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
How did it get in there in what was supposed to be a dummy round? As I understand it, this is one of those guns where you can see the bullets. And so when you bring out this said gun, a prop gun on a set, you need fake bullets that look like real bullets there. That's why they call them dummy rounds. They're not exactly blanks. There's something else.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
And, um, the armorer somehow had a weapon supply in there that had live rounds mixed in with dummy rounds. And that is how Alec wound up shooting Helena and Joel with this one bullet. The real debate is, legally became, did he pull the trigger? He said no. Then the FBI and many experts said that's not possible. He had to have pulled the trigger.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Even some of his defenders said he shouldn't pull the trigger, but nobody, if they pull the trigger, is thinking that there's a live round in there. And then people on the other side said, no, this is why you never pull the trigger. So these are just some of the debates that were unfolding in the industry over this time. The armorer,

Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
He's got some amazing advice for all of us. Dr. Daniel Amen is a double board certified psychiatrist, including of child psychiatry and author of the book, Raising Mentally Strong Kids. How to combine the power of neuroscience with love and logic to grow confident, kind, responsible, and resilient children and young adults.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is the daughter of a very famous, respected armorer in Hollywood. But she did not have that level of respect. And you delve into kind of how she got this job and some of the safety questions that came up around her performance early on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Seth Kinney is the name of the guy who supplied the ammo to the armorer. And there was a bit of a, you know, finger pointing thing between the two of them where Hannah Gutierrez Reed was like, he gave me a box of mixed live rounds and dummy rounds. She still would have had responsibility for making sure whatever went into the guns she had on set was only dummy rounds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
But I, and he denied that he had done that. But I remember that was one of the points of contention that
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
You get at this in your documentary. Again, it is called Last Take, Rust and the Story of Helena. It's on Hulu right now. You get at this in part with the special effects team. And one guy in particular who was talking about something called a squib, which I didn't know anything about a squib, but a squib is like something you kind of like, it's fake blood that you...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
as a special effects guy, make sure gets on the person in the movie who needs to look like they've been shot. And just, here's, uh, here's a bit from that. Let's listen to stop 45.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
The disbelief.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
You just think about the horror of those in that room, Helena, chief of all, but those around her. I mean, everybody, Alec Baldwin, all of them were horrified. I think everyone accepts that. And the assistant director, David Halls, we talked a little bit about the armorer, but he also takes responsibility and had to because it was he was the person who handed the gun to Alec.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
And the rules are that he should have checked it, too. There's supposed to be all these redundancies built in so that this can never happen. You did speak to him. You spoke to everybody except Alec. But here is a bit from the assistant director, David Halls, in SOP 44.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
This poor guy. Yeah. I'm just watching that. And you know what I'm thinking, Rachel is like, it's when people say it wasn't my fault. It wasn't, it was someone else's responsibility that we all pile on that. We, that we are the ones saying, no, it was you. When you hear a guy like that, you have the opposite instinct. You know, you, you want to relieve him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
there was a moment in which he could have stopped it. But I mean, it's like the armorer, if we presume, as she says, that she did shake the bullets, because that should have been a different shaking sound from a dummy round versus a live round is what they said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
If she really did do it, who knows if she really did do it, but if she really did do it and she wasn't able to determine the dummy from the live, could David really have done it? I mean, not an ammo expert. We have redundancies, but we're probably thinking on most of these sets, they're mostly unnecessary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
We're really kind of just making sure it's not, there's not like an obvious problem and this wouldn't have been. The stuff with the crew really jumped out at me. I know she was crew, obviously she was part of the crew, but as somebody who's been not an actress, but on camera for many years, you get very close to your crew and the crew guys are like truth detectors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Like they just, if you're a bitch, if you're a nightmare to work with, They know, they just know. And these guys clearly loved her and loved working with her. And there's a, we pulled this clip of a guy named Jonas Huerta from the camera crew who also seems to be taking responsibility. You know, it's like he, they all, all these good guys are like, it was on me. It was on me. It was on me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
We pulled a little bit of that in SOP 43.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
He walked off along with many others that day because the set was riddled with safety concerns.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
That was her world. Those were her, you know, frontline workers. And I'm sure they were affected probably more than even the cast by her death. On the subject of Alec, he was charged and then ultimately the charges were dismissed with prejudice, which means that we're done. He's not going to get charged again. Yeah.

Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
he has a reality show with his wife and she spoke to the effect, this whole thing. I mean, the shooting, obviously he was holding the gun to the almost criminal prosecution to just the public aftermath and all of it. And, uh, here's what she said on their TLC show recently.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
or you know just like cops and people and i mean he had to deal with the horror of actually having caused it you know using that term gun yeah just as a matter of fact i mean he definitely caused it um so the film it doesn't have a villain do you think you know having made it now like who is to blame like what on what do you blame the death of your friend
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
And what if they say, what can I do? What can I do? Mom, what can I do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Was it a money problem? I mean, that's what we read in the news is that it was underfunded. Basically, they were they were trying to do it to skinny.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Do you, maybe this is a weird question, but whenever there's tragic loss, especially if someone at a young age and a mother, a wife, I, I think it's natural to ask why, what, you know, what good could possibly come of this? Why would God allow this? Is there some greater meaning that's, that's been gleaned from it? Will it, will the death save lives?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Like, is there any, is there any answer on, on that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
But I think what you said is very interesting. Everybody wants to build mentally tough kids, resilient kids. Now, growing up in the 70s, the way that my mom did it was she just insulted me a lot. Kind of joking, but there's a little truth to it. I don't know. She didn't coddle us, is my point. Never coddled us. And she never told us we were good at something that we weren't good at, ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
Your film is trying and your film is doing it even more so than the completion of rust because people, there will be a segment of the population that goes to see that movie that doesn't know anything about the backstory. You know, the young people who don't follow the news that much. And yeah,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
But if you watch this documentary, you will know, you will know her, you will learn some lessons about safety and redundancies and so on, how things can go terribly wrong. And I'm sure there'll be a lot of industry people who are way more interested in your product than in the final movie, but they'll probably see both.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
And maybe they will learn something because you chose to take this on as painful as it was for you as a friend. So hats off to you. I mean, literally hats off to you. That's a sweet story about her hat. She was lucky to have you as a friend. And I, I admire all the work you put into this. Well done. Thank you for telling us the story, Rachel.

So I always had a very keen sense of what was an actual skill versus a fake skill. You know what I mean? I never overjudged my capacity for something. Now, I'm a lot nicer than my mom was. So then I worry, am I going to raise soft kids? Do I need to insult them more? What is the way forward?

Well, and also I worry that you create resentment. I worry, you know, in expressing your real opinion about, let's say, you know, the daughter's boyfriend, if the daughter's 27. I don't know. I feel like at that age, they're going to do what they're going to do. And I would be very hesitant. I would feel like my role was more to be like. you know, you'll figure it out.

Okay, Anderson. But I will say this about Anderson Cooper. He's an actual war correspondent. And there isn't a natural disaster that he won't go report from. And I respect that.

We do it at home with my children when we're on vacation, not on the news when people are dying. What are you doing? And there's no need to put David Muir in a yellow jacket with the fireman's reflective stripes on it. He's surrounded by ABC News crews, by ABC News trucks, by ABC News photogs, producers, lighting, sound guys. You can't see them. They don't put them on camera.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
But trust me, there is a semicircle on the other side of David Muir that is probably a couple dozen in number. And they want us to be like, well, he's going to get run over by a car. No, he's not. It's for show. He's an actor on screen. That's what's happening there. And the clothespins just put a period behind that sentence.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Yes, he's an actor who's worried about his own vanity and beauty on camera. God forbid you think David Muir might be a little boxy in the waist. What in the... I'm like, I don't... I... care about how I look on camera for sure. And I have reported from terrible sites, not fires. I don't think I've ever gone to a fire, but I've gone to disasters before.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And sure enough, I wake up in the morning and I put on my makeup. It's not that I go to the sites without my makeup. And I give a thought to what I'll wear. Will it be appropriate? You don't want to be showing too much skin. Of course, if you're on camera, you're going to give some thought to how you look. But I'm sorry, this is a bridge too far.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
His little pretend fireman role coupled with his, is my waist looking skinny enough? Vanity is too much. And we saw his vanity on full display at that Trump debate where he tried to do the, I detected no sarcasm in those remarks. He's in love with his own face, waistline, and opinion. And it shows. He has disgraced and discredited himself this year. And ABC News really needs to move on.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
I'm sorry. This is just, you need to move on. They've spent so much money trying to build this guy's image. You know, the promos for David Muir, you would think he was Jesus. I mean, the way they, you know, like with the jawline. And I hate to rip on him because he went to Syracuse like me. But rip, I will. Because he deserves it. But it's all about image.

Like, oh, I'm thinking about this difficult problem. I'm David Muir. I'm tough and I'm smart and I'm hot. And this, look at this. A good producer friend of mine reminded me after I tweeted on this that he's not the first vain person absurd anchorman to obsess over his jacket on television and brought me back to this moment when Dan Rather, I don't know how this came out, but it's on YouTube.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Dan Rather was on camera getting ready for a live shot near the Seattle Space Needle and for 15 minutes, I think it was, was conferring with his producers about whether he would wear his trench coat or just go with his suit jacket and whether he would put the trench coat collar up or wear it down. This is not a 30-second, should I wear the jacket? No. Should I put the collar up? No. No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
For over 15 minutes, they kept a running clock, the guy who posted on YouTube, the number of minutes that they debated. And Dan was totally into it with his producer who went on to run 60 minutes. We've condensed it for you. Look at this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
unbelievable. It went on for almost 20 minutes. This is apparently released by Harry Shear 17 years ago when he was doing like a series of these and it's on YouTube and it's great. We'll link to it in the description and being coached on by his executive producer who would wind up producing 60 minutes, Jeff Fager, like this was a real debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Like they were debating an actual piece of editorial that they needed to get right Went on and on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Dan Rather complimented, I think, his wife for selecting a green jacket, and the green looked good, and really lamented that they should have come earlier and pre-taped the show at noon so that he could have done it in comfort in just his suit coat without this disastrous trench coat covering his great look.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And then he was really cold, so he needed to wear the jacket, but did he look cooler with the... And how did Dan Rather's career at CBS end in infamy as well?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Just like David Muir, which, I mean, he ended his career effectively for half the country in that debate with Trump because his own opinions, his own vainglorious nature wound up stopping him from understanding what the role of an independent journalist is supposed to be. So there you have it. Two men whose vanity would ultimately prove to be their downfall in the media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And in this case, it's really sad because David Muir is actually trusted by some number of Americans to bring them the news about what's happening in Los Angeles. This extremely serious situation. And the man's worried about his tiny little waist showing on camera. You can't make it up.

Trust in the media is at an all-time low, and let's be honest, it's not without reason. Hello. We are seeing how stories can be shaped or even buried depending on who's in charge, but there's a platform that does not play by those rules, one that prioritizes transparency and lets you see the full picture.

But the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, is now finally back from Ghana. Joe Biden sent her there? For the inauguration? Who gives a crap? Why is the L.A. mayor going to Ghana for some political event? What in the actual F? And let me tell you something. The warnings about these Santa Ana winds being worse than normal and bringing a grave threat were all over the place. You look back at the L.A.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Times now for days prior to this event, they were jumping up and down saying this actually could get really bad. And she's over there in Ghana for this ceremonial. Why? Why? Get your ass back home. Now there's a tweet. Let me see if I can find it quickly. Resurfacing online from, yeah, here it is.

Now at least five people are dead. More than 25,000 acres have burned and hundreds of thousands are under mandatory evacuation orders. Over a thousand structures have been destroyed. These are people's homes, children's schools. Think about these little kids who have their books and their art projects and their schools completely burned to the ground with nowhere to go now.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
From when Ted Cruz got ridiculed for leaving Texas to go on vacation in the middle of some, I can't remember what was happening to Texas. Was it fires there? And she, Karen Bass- What was it, Steve? It was a snowstorm. Okay. You don't think snowstorm when you think Texas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
In any event, she tweeted out, Ted Cruz fleeing Texas in the middle of a deadly crisis is part of a larger pattern of the GOP abandoning folks in crisis. We need to build a movement to kick them all out. Well, how'd that one go, madam? Is that part of your pattern on your team to... Abandon folks during a crisis?

That's causing the damage. But but, you know, in terms of those who are suffering, we don't give a shit about this. We fight. We have big, meaningful policy fights.

This woman, Karen Piper, she's got, oh, I don't know, she was forced to later delete it, but she's got tens of thousands of followers. She writes, James Woods' house is burning down. It's karma calling. That's disgusting.

Our community is ravaged because of the ineptitude of Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, and you're rejoicing because you disagree with my husband? Absolutely disgusting. Shame on you.

Well, when you look at this, there are so many things that played a role. You know, you've got obviously the Santa Ana winds, which come every year. You've got the fire. Once the fire starts and those winds combine, it's a very dangerous combination no matter what.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
But it does seem like there were many mitigation factors that were ignored, even though the authorities knew or should have known that. That, for example, there wasn't enough water in the reservoirs. There wasn't water in the fire hydrants.

Now, she finally holds a presser, and it was a complete disaster. First of all, before I get to the truly disastrous part, listen to her describing herself. I basically got on the back of Superman to come home.

The electrical lines were still up, even though all this money had been spent to put them underground so that they wouldn't be sitting there like little tinder boxes ready to spread fire. And it hadn't been done. It just seems like there's a fair amount of things you actually, the underfunding of the
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
of the FD, the LAFD, the underfunding of the LAPD to direct traffic and get people out of there in an orderly fashion? I mean, you tell me where you're going now in terms of what could or should have been done that wasn't.

So it's sort of a weird time for you as you wonder, as you don't know. I just wonder, like, if I were in your position, what would I be thinking about all the things in my home that I love? And I was thinking about it earlier. You know, it's not just your keepsakes, the things that you adore, like family photos that go back, you know, in the 70s when we were kids. But like...

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
you know, there's a reason that you chose the fixtures you did in your kitchen, maybe. Or like you put a lot of love and thought into certain parts of your home to make them reflect you and the things that you love. And it's the background, you know, Richie Sambora has a song, the soundtrack of your life. Like your home is sort of the background of your life and it's meaningful to you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979

The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Yeah, right, right. I totally understand that. You have a mechanical background. You almost had a firefighting background, but didn't. And it's the reason why is related to one of the things that people are complaining about today, which is the obsession with DEI. Even years ago in the fire department, including in the LA fire department, you actually testified before Congress.

at URL. She is too stupid to be the mayor of Los Angeles. She is too stupid to be in public office. You failed, madam. You failed. You failed to prepare for the crisis. And then when your country and your city needed you, what did you do? You took the fastest route home with no layovers on a military plane? Great.

Yeah, well, today, I mean, there was just a firefighting headline, not today, but June of 2023 in NPR that reads as follows. Firefighting is mostly white and male. A California program aims to change that. So all those years later, they hadn't solved the problem. For some reason, they just couldn't find enough women who could do the job or wanted to.

And we're starting to see it, seeing it globally now, blow back against left-wing policies and politicians. By the way, I know this newsflash, Joe Biden is still the president. He's the current president.

Live and learn. Then she gets caught. on the way to, I think this was the news conference, by a Sky News reporter. He got her at the airport. And man, did this guy do a good job. Take a listen to this and how I don't really care, to be honest, whether it's she can't or she won't answer the questions. I'm equally horrified either way, watch.

you know, I should tell our audience he was going to be on the show today, but he had to postpone because of the fires. I think he's in the midst of this dealing with it himself. Yeah, no, he hasn't been totally red-pilled because he's got some TDS going there. He definitely hates Donald Trump, but he is one of the normal liberals who we all used to know and love and argue with, but didn't like

get grossed out by like these woke people who care more about who you're sleeping with than whether you can fight fires when they put you in charge of a department. Look, I don't know whether this is Kristen Crowley's incompetent or not, but I know that the reservoirs weren't filled and the fire hydrants didn't have water.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And it seems like something she should have been jumping up and down about for a long time because that's literally her job. There's a report, though, that a bunch of money, Adam, I mean, I haven't totally followed the California reservoir politics for a long time, but Jillian Michaels, she tweeted out that in 2014, voters in California,
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
put $2.7 billion towards securing future water storage through Prop 1. By 2025, not a single reservoir has been completed. I mean, that's unbelievable. $2.7 billion towards securing future water storage 10 years ago, and by today, not a single reservoir has been completed. They spent money to put power lines underground, which also didn't happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And they're also spending all this money on freaking high-speed rail, which has almost no chance of happening. So it's impossible to look at this and not ask whether some huge portion of it is due to mismanagement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
The, this report, I want to get to the real again in one second, but just this, just report just coming to my attention. Um, In May of 2024, they hired a new Department of Water and Power head in L.A. by the name of Janice Quinones, who replaced a guy named Martin Adams, and they doubled the salary for that position. He was getting $435,000, $435,000. She got $750,000.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
They said they had to do it to stay competitive. So this woman... OK, who is younger and diverse and a woman gets the salary doubled and the fire hydrants remain empty. So it just seems like a problem to me. I don't know whether Los Angeles residents are going to find it a problem or not, but all this needs to be evaluated. And I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
I'm not saying it's because she's a woman, but I'm saying these people shouldn't be getting a pass because they're women either. They've been put in very important positions. And where is the fucking water for the reservoirs?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Exactly. Well, I don't care what color she is or what gender she is. It appears there's been a massive screw up. I just was like, this was known. They were calling attention to this. It came out a couple of months ago that the reservoirs were a problem and that the fire hydrants were not full. And as great as the firefighters may be, they can't do the job without water.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
I mean, that's just not possible. The high-speed rail thing, it's just an example of incompetence. California is probably the best example in the country of blue control, total blue control, and total, utter incompetence. And this high-speed rail project, which has taken so much money and gone absolutely nowhere, is a great example of it.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Congressman Kevin Kyle of California was railing—pardon the pun, Kylie—about this The other day saying we should not be giving more money to this project. The Fed should not. Californians should not. It's gone nowhere. And here he is espousing that.

They've suffered enough, especially out in LA, where they closed schools forever during COVID. It is hard to describe the destruction. So many devastating videos and images.

That's your tax money as a Californian and mine and our listeners as federal taxpayers. It's a joint effort. And what we might well have done instead is just taken our money, done this, and flushed it down the toilet. And so you can't help but think of it as California burns.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
That is utter incompetence. Again, picture Trump. Picture Trump in that circumstance. Would he ever just sit there ignoring the reporter firing those questions at him? No, he would say something. Say something resembling anything. Right, like, take a shot, madam.

Right. And the house of so many people who don't have money, don't have insurance, don't have the first clue about how to rebuild or where to go. There was a woman speaking to ABC local talking about coming to get her parents who were, I think she said 90 out of their home in Pasadena, which was burning. And she was trying to save what she could have it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
But look, this is like a real person who I'm sure she's complaining about the insurance. Take a listen.

This is the first, this guy was on the plane with her coming back from Ghana, most direct route, fear not, and started firing questions at her. And this is her first chance to actually say something. I know you're going to a presser. Say, I'll address it more fully at the presser, but here's my message right now. You're an idiot. She's too dumb to do it. That's why she didn't do it.

Keep us updated. What a nightmare. I mean, what an absolute shit show. Charlie Kirk tweeted this out. He writes, a friend of a friend in West LA just saw looters plunder her evacuated house on her ring camera. I mean, it is crazy. We have a bunch of security at our house. We actually just added a ring camera, so I'm just now getting... used to the joys of that thing, it's actually quite fun.

You can see everything. We have another more official one that other people monitor, but this is for me and Doug. And it gives you a little ring on your phone. You're like, oh, what's happening? What am I getting? Who's there? I mean, I'm sure it would feel very different if it were an actual burglar, robber, or ne'er-do-well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Anyway, what he's reporting is that there was a woman who saw looters go into her evacuated house. Sounds like it wasn't burned down. It's just evacuated. He writes her friends, including some who voted for Harris, are calling for summary execution of the looters. That's something you say, right? Like they should be executed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Turns out in this house, we believe politics disappear when your house does. I get it. I understand the spirit in which he's offering that. I'm sure that's probably true. Who wouldn't be sitting there thinking that if their house they had to evacuate because of serious threat of fire got looted?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
That's why the fire department wasn't ready. That's why she took nearly $20 million from them instead of fully funding the FD. Because she had other priorities like the homeless and the illegal immigrants. Those are the reports that she was doling out the money to help all the illegals who are in LA.

LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979

Stop. Trust me. Absolutely nothing against women. Nothing against women. Totally believe in strong female leaders too. Not seeing examples of them here. Be honest. Stop.

Like, one of the things I saw when I was preparing for the Bill Maher interview, which will take place again when he can do it, was he had a quote about how... Oh, God, what was it? He was saying...
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
It was about wokeness and how sick and tired of wokeness he is and how he's hoping at every turn that people will reevaluate it, that they're going to see these choices they've made have not come back to help them. I can't remember the specific quote. In any event, I'll get to it when he comes on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
But it was a great quote and it just underscored how the left is so busy trying to like reach behind to give itself pats on the back at how virtuous they are. They've lost all touch with the number of people who get seriously hurt from those very efforts, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
So like they're so busy virtue signaling and hoping we think they're good people and trying to tell themselves they're good people in this house we believe that they forgot to actually be good people and hire good people to protect good people. This is the problem in California. This is a problem in Canada. This is the problem in the United States, which we just pushed back against massively.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
So this was the thing that Bill Maher was saying. He doesn't like Trump, as you know. But he said, even I, as a liberal, am kind of excited to see what Trump is going to do. I'm kind of excited to see, I think he's interested in Elon and potentially RFK. I'm kind of interested to see how it works out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And one of his lines was, I'm going to mess it up, but it was like, we don't need a revolution in America. We need a colonic, you know, like a clearing out of the system. We're old and we're stodgy and we're doing things in a way that's not working for people. That's why Trump won.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
That's why his team of superheroes is going to be ushered, not just into the presidency, but into the administration around Trump, the cabinet. And it's why Californians, my dear loving friends in California, must rethink. the decisions they've made at the local level, because the federal government can't really help you. That's the God's honest truth on something like this.

And she didn't care about a known risk to the tax paying citizens of LA, the upstanding law abiding citizens of Los Angeles who pay her salary, who helped the city stay on its feet. Whatever you think of L.A., it's historic. It's beautiful. It's totally charming in its character. Forget the politics, all right? Just put that bullshit to the side.

There could be some FEMA relief. What you needed was good local assistance. You needed competent local managers who know how to plan for these disasters and manage them when they come, like Ron DeSantis. I mean, let me ask my friends. We see who listens to the show. We have actually a lot of California listeners. Let me ask you this question. Do you think this would have happened to this extent?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
No one's saying some magical politician can stop fire. And the winds, of course, are the massive factor that pushes it fast and far. But do you really think this would have happened to this extent with these problems if Ron DeSantis had been your governor or the mayor of L.A. ? Do you really think that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Like this guy is a technocratic, prolifically hardworking Yale graduate who has a lifetime of elbow grease behind him. He didn't do well glad handing in the coffee shops of Iowa. He's not a natural retail politician. If you have him over for dinner, he's probably not going to be the most loved guest. All right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
But he's an incredibly effective politician, a leader, you know, someone who gets elected via politics, who then must lead is my point. You need someone like that. Okay, maybe you're not going to go quite as right as a Ron DeSantis, though he will be looking for a job soon because of term limits in Florida. You should be so lucky as to get him in any role out there. But can you find your own?
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
Can you say yes when this businessman runs against Karen Bass and says, I'll do the job. I'm actually a Democrat, and I have money, but I will help you. Can you be more open-minded so that instead of making yourselves feel good by patting yourselves on the back, you just do good? You check your identity politics. your obsession with DEI hiring and all that bullshit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
And you look at who's the most competent manager we can unleash on the beautiful citizens of our beautiful cities and state. Because what seems to have happened here is one of the gems of the United States of America, California. one of, if not the most beautiful states in the union has been destroyed by left-wing politics and the decisions that come with them. Maybe it's too late.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
There are no red seats in the state house, in the U S you know, delegate, like there are no, there's no red in California. at all. So maybe it's too late, but maybe Adam's right that enough people have now died or been hurt as a result of these decisions that they'll start to make different ones. Here is the Bill Maher quote. Okay. I'm a big America booster, Maher says to the Wall Street Journal.

One of my problems with the younger generation is they have no idea, no perspective. Of course, if they've gone to elite universities, factories, they've been indoctrinated into this idea that they live in the worst country in the world at the worst time in history, when actually they live in, with all of our flaws, still probably the best with definitely indisputably the best time in history.

Okay, so the people who were lower down in the hills couldn't get the water to the, they were using too much water to fight fires. Such that the people who are higher in the hills couldn't get the water, all of which was foreseeable. These are not explanations. These were foreseeable problems for which you failed to plan. This is not going to cut it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
LA Mayor Stumbles as She Returns to City, and Personal Stories of the Devastation, with James Woods and Adam Carolla | Ep. 979
This is not going to cut it, even with the people of Los Angeles who are probably willing to give most Democrats the benefit of the doubt. And you can see that already time and time again on X, with many voicing their serious concerns about the failures of leadership.

And maybe around the boys, you're a little bit more buttoned up. Yes. And then in the younger grades, boys tend to be more disruptive and kind of bigger pains in the ass. And girls are like well-behaved.

And so then they get demonized. So it can be better for them to be alone too. I love that. They're not being compared to the well-behaved girls. Like at our boys' school, the first thing they do for the K-5ers is they let them go to gym for like an hour.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But girls don't need that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Isn't this fun? You have all this to look forward to with your now one year baby daughter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You don't know anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, like you're trying to rely on your doctor and you're, you know, you try to find a good doctor and just do what he says. But then this whole past five years has really undermined health in doctors and public health officials. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Every pediatrician that we've had has recommended that we get them the COVID vaccine, which we didn't. Yeah. No, no, no. I got myself the vaccine, which I regret, but I did not get it from my kids.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So you got the first two shots, but nothing more.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Because you were in New York.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, and we were all being told on the initial vaccine that it would stop the spread, that it would make you not contagious.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I was the second shooter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Lex... Wexner. Wexner, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Why can't we know more about him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I have to tell you, I had... a couple of conversation with somebody very close to the Epstein case, like very close to it, who shall go nameless for this conversation. And this person swore to me- Acosta? No, that there's- He could talk too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That he- wasn't this quote pedophile that he was into like 16, 17 year old girls. And that, yes, some may have sort of gotten through that were slightly younger, but that wasn't exactly his thing. And that- Pretty much every famous celebrity was friends with him and went on his jet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Welcome back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But that at most all they were getting was like the so-called massages from these 16, 17 year olds, as opposed to like a pedophile ring.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Great to have you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Now I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, it depends on the state. It could be illegal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think they're still defending him over there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I mean, you think about it, though, because, like, how did Alan Dershowitz wind up, you know, becoming Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer? How did all these world figures wind up on his plane? Because he had, you know, he had cachet. He had money. He was already connected. He was tight with the people at Harvard. That's all you really have to say, that you're tight with the people at Harvard and MIT.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, God, likewise. I mean, you were actually one of my first guests. You know, we just celebrated episode 500 or 1,000. I don't know, 1,000. And you were 78, number 78. You were, like, on the ground floor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Everybody will let you into their party.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like, if you've got these certain credentials, you're good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes. You must be legit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Even after you already pleaded guilty to something with a young prostitute, like we're still, Katie Couric's still going to go to your dinner party at your mansion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
How about the Bill Gates thing? Yeah. Like, were you surprised when it came out that he was like with all these younger women and like these pool parties? And it was like, you know, he'd been so buttoned up in this like totally respectable person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But it was totally contrary to his image at the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes, he does.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Explain it to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Let's make it happen. I thought you were making a comment about women and Warren.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think. You think Elon has killed a few people?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What do you mean? Of course. With a Tesla, with a self-driving. No, not like he shoots it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I'm sure he could cash out on some of these, like Tesla at some point.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Most of these people cash out and they, they sell like Mark Cuban, you know, he sold the business he came up with. And there's just the one sale because it seems like the first buyer winds up getting screwed. Like he thinks he's going to build it. It's he's bought something meaningful. And then when he turns around, like everything's collapsed, that happens all the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes, that's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You want to be the one who invents it, builds it up into something big on paper and then get out of town.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
How about Elon? Now he's in all over the news for the Doge stuff. He wore a suit the other night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Um, Mark, Mike Davis, who comes on the show a lot, he's a lawyer, uh, Trump affiliated tweet out something like two things. Elon has a suit and a babysitter. We haven't seen it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's right. I forgot that. And now look at you. I mean, now your career has just taken off. Nothing. Things have been cool. Yeah, really cool. And personally, I mean, the funniest bit you ever did, and it's still one of my favorites. This is from a special, not like on this show, but you were talking about your then girlfriend and how obsessed she was with crime shows.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like you can either protect us or get us to Mars if things go to hell. Right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think it is. I mean, like, what do we have? You guys, we have that Harry engine thing I asked for, you know, him over on CNN.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, he does. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
He is. He's funny himself. I love his New York accent here. He is talking about the, the doge and the public reaction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So he is winning the PR war.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What, what, how so? Like he should be more clear on the Doge website, which is not that user-friendly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I can totally relate to this. And how I remember you did this bit on how you'd watch NFL football with her and she'd be like, and some guy would have a compound fracture with the blood everywhere and the bone and every guy you know would be like, oh my God. And she'd be like, when is someone coming to murder him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Fine. Keep going. Just my experience.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's sad. No, I actually, I don't go to Citibon because I I'm, you know, in my fifties and I just can't do that anymore. But I will tell you not too long ago, I was at the airport for a layover and I wanted this so badly. And I'm like, I'm doing it. And I got not just the small bag and not the huge, huge bag, but like the medium sort of large ish. Yeah. bag of Cheetos. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I ate every last one. There was a woman across me kind of looking at me, stealing glances. You could tell she was kind of like, is she going to eat that entire bag of Cheetos? I'm like, sister, I am. America, they're just like us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, then it starts to come back at you. But then you get the Manjaro or the Ozempic or whatever like that. It's better to keep it off to begin with. Trust me. That's fair. I've lost and I've gained over the years. It's better if you can keep it off.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think if you're a leftist, there is. You think? You have to at least say you are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes. She's beautiful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
After telling us that we were supposed to embrace it and it was healthy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Yeah. What about swimsuit or sports illustrated now bring you back actual hot models for its magazine? America's healing. Yeah, right. With all due respect to Martha Stewart, I guess that didn't sell a lot of magazines or Gayle King. Oh, why? Did Martha go in there? Yeah, and so did Gayle King. And I think they eventually realized what they really wanted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, really? Well, she is a convicted felon. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Or to protect.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I have my own theories. I think it's because when you grow up, who gets murdered? Who gets attacked? Who gets stolen? Young women. We're the victims. And so it's instilled in you from an early age by your parents, by your friends, by your teachers, by TV, the news. You're the victim. And so you walk around everywhere like, oh my God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But can I tell you something? Like, if you're a sociopath. Yes. Because I've talked to some sociopaths. They actually have no qualms about this whatsoever. They will talk to you about, like, yes, that is an acceptable menu item. Like, killing the person to take care of the problem is right there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like, they just don't even... And, you know, one in four people are sociopaths.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, they study. Yeah. They learn the proper way of reacting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
He goes to grieve the dead body at the wake. It was the wake. And he sees a woman near the casket and they exchange a glance. You know, they make eye contact. The man leaves. The funeral wraps up. A week later, that man kills that woman's mother. Why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What is it? Because he wanted to see her again. The woman. Oof. Now, let me tell you something.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But can I tell you, everybody's so worried. My biggest fear. So the sociopath gets that like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They have that answer like this. And let me tell you where I got this test from. Somebody who used to be in my life, that person's father was a psychiatrist in one of the worst prisons in America. And they would actually do this test on the patients. And man by man by man, if, and by the way, to my listening audience, if it came to you right away, you might be a sociopath.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But you'll see, it has to come, like if you're wrestling with it and after like a minute, you're like, was it this? You've given a couple of guesses and you get there eventually, you're good. Because a sociopath immediately is like, because he wanted to see her again. Yeah. They just think differently.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Of course. Again, you're like, who cares? Isn't that crazy?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And then there's a morbid fascination with what happens to others. How do I prevent that from happening to me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes, you can go tell Emma.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But I knew you were in my head while I was like, should I do the sociopath test on him? I was like, what if he fails? I've humiliated this poor guy in front of everybody. But then I was thinking about the video you put in your latest comedy thing on Netflix. I'm like, there's no way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. I believe that about you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You are a softie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like, what do you mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think that's why.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, we're working something out. You know, it's like the same way my 11-year-old likes to watch shark videos all the time. Because he thinks he's going to get eaten by a shark. Totally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Do you feel like this is the answer? Because this is the latest messaging from the Dems on social media today. Sot 13, choose your fighter video montage. Oh, God. Oh, yes. Yeah. It's Democratic female lawmakers, AOC, in the fighting stance and bouncing. Oh, she looks like an idiot. Look at this one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Look at her, Jasmine Crockett. Oh, the last one's terrible. I have second hand embarrassment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Is that what you mean by fearless and risk tolerance? Yeah, exactly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Does that inspire you to get to the ballot box?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
She's good on the social media. I mean, if she knows how to use social media normally, I don't think she came up with that campaign.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You know what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I'm embarrassed to tell you that I've been dreaming lately about the AM update that we've been doing as a new pod that we've launched in our feed. It's very embarrassing. My dreams are about news now because I do it either really late or early morning and it's just on my mind. You shouldn't dream about news. That's just sad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, I mean, the problem they're dealing with right now is they don't know how to handle Trump. They don't know how to behave properly. Don't even talk to him. We're debating the spoon. They're debating whether you should stand when the 13-year-old brain cancer stricken boy gets honored. They didn't do it. There's a meme going on right now. I think Riley Gaines posted it saying...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They, they knelt for eight minutes and 43 seconds for George Floyd, but they couldn't stand for Peyton McNabb, the now 19 year old, formerly 16 year old who got slammed in the face with the Bollywood. They couldn't stand for DJ Daniel, the little boy, the 13 year old boy with brain cancer. They couldn't stand for the widow of the cop who got gunned down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They couldn't stand learning that the terrorist who organized the Abbey gate attack got a
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I love that. I played that soundbite on my show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, do something about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes. Look at this poor little kid.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right. That's pathetic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But I could relate to, didn't you say, did I hear this in the special that you were saying your girlfriend always dreams about you cheating on her?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I know. We're so much bigger than they are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, wait, aren't you the guy? You're the one who said this to me and I've quoted you on it many times on how the moment Trump won you over was when he took the guy from Montenegro by the shoulder and was like, to the back. Wait, which one? When he was over at like the G7 or the G18.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And he shoved that guy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right.

If you go on Netflix, it's one of the top shows right now. You can't miss it and you shouldn't miss it. It's only an hour. You will laugh. And believe it or not, you will cry too. It's actually very touching. At times, I did not expect that. And I was just saying to him before we got started, I watched it the same way I watch all Andrew Schultz content, like this. I'm afraid. And I love it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020

That's part of his weirdly... It's unbelievably charming. Charm and humor. What did you think of, I thought it was very funny, the State of the Union. Did you laugh?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Did that make you laugh out loud?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And he called her Pocahontas at the State of the Union.

Right.

Ben says facts don't care about your feelings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's so true. It's why his background in construction really made him, despite his advantages in his family and when it came to money, so relatable because he spent his whole life around working class people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, well, that was, I think, pretty clear between the Democrats of today and the Republican Party. The best moment of Trump that I've seen on this score is the moment where he sat for that deposition on behalf of, in the E. Jean Carroll case against him. And the lawyer asked him, did you say that, that you can grab him by the P word? And they let you get away with it if you're a celebrity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And Trump said, yes. And she said, why did you say that? Well, because that's the way it's been for thousands of years. You know, unfortunately-

It's part of, hello again, this is Andrew Schultz with me today. This is the latest Netflix special. It's out now. It's called life and it's so well worth your time. You know, maybe don't watch it with like your eight year old, but a teenager absolutely love it. And it's, I would say like, I watched the whole time where I'm like, oh my God, I'm dying. I'm crying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I hope nobody knows what I'm watching.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
This whole thing is about your journey with Emma and trying to conceive a baby. Yeah. And I mean, no detail is spared.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But so it's very personal. It was unusually personal for you. Yeah, yeah. Did you run it by her first?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
How did anybody ever get pregnant before IVF? Because everybody's doing it. Dude.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Going into the room with the lady, oh. We just talked to the audience. Doug came in to say hi to Andrew in the commercial break. And we were bonding over our shared experience because he and I did IVF with our kids too. And Doug joked that after he had to donate the sample, first he said he was going to wear like a red crushed velvet smoking jacket on his way in and on the other way out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I was amazing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It was like a walk of shame when you're walking by all the other guys there. Everybody's there. Oh God. I know what you're about to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You're like, so why did they make you go in to give the sperm sample? I didn't think it could.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
There's some pride in that. It's gotta be a little bit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I told a story one time when Dave Rubin was on, but Doug had this, the funniest experience there where they make you ejaculate like 24 hours before the real sample. That's going to be like your future kid. Yeah. Yeah. They want you to clean the house. Yes. It's like, I can't remember if it was 24 or 48 hours before. Yeah. Okay. So, But they want it to be 48. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And they don't really want it to be 46 or 44.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes. So like timing does matter. It just so happened that on one of ours, we were visiting my, my Nana. Yeah. who was literally like 90 at the time. And we were playing dominoes. And I was like, oh, Doug, it's time. He was like, what? I'm like, you got to go in there right now. My poor husband.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And you know, it's like one of these older person's homes where like there's five inches between the bottom of the door and the ground.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You can hear every piece of conversation in the dominoes, like you're palming the double five, you know? And Doug sits right behind the door. So is he. It's horrible for Doug.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I totally agree. You know, like- Same women have been saying that for eons because of the pain of labor. And it's so, you know- and then you forget all about it. I never had labor because I had three C-sections, but my friends tell me it's extremely painful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, God, that's scary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, yeah. I was actually fine. No way. I did not have weird mood swings, but it was very funny because Doug does not, like, he... His mom got this terrible cut in her leg and it was so brutal. And Doug was right there. He bandaged it up. He put the medicine. I was like, I can't take that kind of injury.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But you pull out a needle and Doug is one of those like, Oh, so he, so he can't, but he had to in the beginning, as it turned out, he didn't have to, but we thought he did. Yeah. Because in the beginning, they really make it up into a thing. Like you got to mix the compound and it's like kind of back in a hard spot to reach. You got to ice the area. Oh, my God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I mean, my girlfriends and I have had this talk many times. Like, would you definitely leave your husband or your boyfriend if you found out he was cheating on you? Yeah. And then, of course, you get into, well, is it a one-off or is it like a full-blown affair with somebody else?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like our future family depends on this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And Doug was in a hot, like a cold sweat. And the superintendent of our building at the time, his name was Lance. And they're like, it's very important that your wife have a partner that helps her. And Doug is like, this is gonna be very hard for Lance. Yeah. But he did it. He did it. He got it through. But honestly, by the third child, you know, he was no part of it. I was like, I need no ice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I'm good. Boom. We're done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
In just the right proportions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right, right. So you don't give yourself an air bubble. Like, life or death.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, I love when somebody has a fight and I'm nearby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Doug and I, like, he'll start talking. I'll be like, be quiet. This is too important to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So you weren't that guy who was like, she's going through a lot. These are just her emotions. I'm just going to let everything slide. I'm not going to get mad about anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's when you put it together that she's hormonal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And honestly, most of the women I know have the same answer to both, which is, no, I would not leave them. But also they have children, right? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And then how about after she had the baby? Did she have like, cause you're sleep deprived. You're very hormonal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's truly like an astronaut training situation. Yeah. No, it's brutal, but then it lets up a little.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Well, then you get to like the six month mark where the baby can start having like a smaller, like a solid foods. Yeah. And they're still having breast milk. And you're at the point now where you're producing more milk than ever. And yet the baby's somewhat getting a little independent. And the weight comes shredding off. That's the best moment where you're like, I'm making tons of milk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
All these calories are coming off for free. Oh, because your body is burning calories. But your baby doesn't need as much milk from you as he needed in five months because now he's starting to eat food. But your body doesn't know that. So it's still burning like 800 calories a day. You're like, oh my God, I have a waist again. There's a normal ass. Thank you, sweet baby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I always say they're selling breastfeeding to moms all wrong. That you would care about the health of our babies, but we know that babies who are formula fed are fine too. You have to sell it to them like Ozempic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's natural Ozempic. It's good for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They put it on you. It's the least they can do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. It was like. Your baby's only like one now, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So now is it kicking in now? That's usually when you're like, what about number two?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Is that what you're trying to say? I mean, literally every friend of Doug's right now is texting him home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, no. When you just have one baby, like in the beginning, you're overwhelmed as you know, but like by year one, you kind of get it down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And things are, you know, you can still have a life. You can still take a nap. You and Emma can still steal away for like an hour in the middle of the day while your one baby is asleep or somebody else would easily watch your one baby. But when you have two babies, like under the age of three, you're effed. There's no napping ever. There's no downtime.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
This is where you really start thinking about having live-in help. Like who can come live with us so I can sleep again? I don't even remember three. It's like all a blur. But I felt the difference from one to two was much larger than from two to three. Like you've given up your free time when you have two. Got it, got it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And like a third, even a fourth, I think would have, I would have had a fourth if I had been younger when Doug and I had met, but one to two is big.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Not saying that. Oh, let's see. It's just, you know, like, that's a— You know what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. No, I remember early on in our tenure of having two, Doug went to see his mom one day, went to visit his family, but it was just a day trip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And it was the first time I'd been alone for like 12 hours with both of them without Doug being there. I'm like, I'm good. I'm fine. Like I had a newborn and a two-year-old and I'm like, honey, I'm trust me. I'm, I'm the mother I've got this. And, um, so I was pushing, it was late in the day. Things hadn't gone that smoothly. I'm not going to lie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And I took them out for a walk and I was pushing the baby in her stroller. And my two-year-old was like walking next to me early. He was on like that little ride on thing that you can put on your stroller, like on his feet. And he had this thing where you love to take off. So I'm pushing the baby up a hill and he's on the little ride on thing standing there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And Doug turns the corner in his car coming home just at that moment. Right. So he sees the whole thing. So at this moment, Yates, our oldest, did not see Doug. He was just doing his thing. He takes off running and there's a massive street straight ahead to which he's running. And I can't just let go of the baby stroller because I'm on an incline.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like if I let go of the baby stroller, she's going to go. But he's running toward traffic the other way. So all this is happening. And there's Doug. And he kind of does the gentle beep and waves. And I was like, oh, oh, hi.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, oh. And then finally I'm like, lock the stroller. Try to rescue the toddler. I'm like, I got it. I'm under control. Oh. No, he knew it wasn't true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
The whole thing is so humbling, isn't it? As you add more and as they get older into the toddler years, even more so.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You don't know anything. You know nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I mean, it's just... So do you do... Are you an involved dad? Do you change diapers and all that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I think it's starting to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And value and talk about. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Republicans are way ahead on that. Democrats, I don't think they're there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And also for guys who are sensitive and empathic, but not man-bun-sand-mandle-merce-toting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Or some are just like, you know, or deadbeat dads. I was going to say they're producing children, but they're not even looking after.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What, I mean, what tough guy ever tells you how tough he is? They don't, they don't talk about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Or how much money you have in the bank.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, you do a very funny bit in life about how you, you have, there's so much pressure being a dad to a daughter. Because one wrong move and she's on OnlyFans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You missed a volleyball game.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, we have that? Okay, let's watch that. That's so funny. It's hot six.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You're not wrong. Daddy issues is a thing. What's mommy issues? No, it's not really. I mean, it can happen, but what is it? It's not as much of a phrase.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, it's more like he can't leave his mom. That's what I attribute to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You wouldn't find it empowering for your daughter to consider becoming a quote sex worker. Oh my God. This was praised. Can we just call them whores?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's it. Well, what about that girl on OnlyFans? I don't know her name, but she's the one who had sex with like 100 people in a day. Stop it. And she's now going on a tour of nursing homes. That's cool. I like that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
We do. Oh, yeah. Actually, my team is way ahead of me. Here she is in Sat 24. Her name is Lily Phillips.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. That's, that's actually one of my favorite jokes I heard a long time ago, which was, um, uh, like a 95 year old guy marries a 25 year old gal and goes to the doctor right before the wedding. And he says, uh, is there anything I need to know, doc? And the doc says, yeah, you know, you should know that sex at this point could be dangerous, even lethal. And he said, if she dies, she dies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's great. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Is that right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, you can't have that. No. And then you're going to let them get on top of you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like with the table manners.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So how long has he been dealing with this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So does that make you worry for yourself? Do you ever think about it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right, I know. I have such a fear of this. My mom doesn't have Alzheimer's and my dad died too young for me to know. He died at 45 of a heart attack. But I worry about it so much because it can happen to anybody. And even if you're using your brain as you do for a living, as I do for a living, you're not immune.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's got Sandra Day O'Connor who's like, I mean, there's nothing more intellectually straining than being on the US Supreme Court. So it's just so indiscriminate and it's terrifying to me. Some say diet. Yep. Diet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And sleep. Every time I have a sleepless night, I'm like, ah, it's over. Getting my early alleys. Yeah. It's coming on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Cause you do, you don't remember. When you have a bad night's sleep, you don't remember that as well the next day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It has the opposite effect. It's like nothing bothers me. Nothing at all. It's all really cute. Yeah. It's funny because I can't think of a thing about Doug that bothers me like that. And even after we just celebrated our 17th. Doug's the man, dude. He is the man. We just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary on Saturday. Amazing. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Exactly. Oh, that's I mean, that's good. You take care of him. You have a good perspective on it. I always feel like if this happens to me, I said this to Doug, you know, please make sure I'm sitting in a room with all my favorite movies just on loop.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And in my favorite audio books, just playing on loop like I just keep enjoying these series over and over and over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I'm not sure that's exactly the way it works, but that's how I'd like to believe it's going to work.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, the other thing is, you know, this is one of the things that RFKJ has been talking about. there's been such bullshit going on in the public health world for so long.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And we talked about this on our show four, three years ago, where this massive thing came out with this guy committed fraud in saying they'd made this major breakthrough in Alzheimer's and that they really zeroed in on the amyloid plaque. And then it turned out he had been faking all the photos to show this and they'd been repeated. And he was like the gold standard researcher in all this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And now it's like it was Alzheimer's research was set back by 15, 20 years. It's one of the other reasons why I just feel so good. We have people in there now who will not treat any of this prior bullshit as, you know, godly and untouchable. You know, Jay Bhattacharya, who just took over at NIH, he's being confirmed right now as his hearings are underway. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
they were like, so you're not going to go back and look at whether childhood vaccines are linked to autism, right? Those are well-settled studies that there's no link whatsoever. And to his credit, he was like, look, I understand there's been a lot of research on this, but he basically said, I'm not going to say never.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like, I think there's nothing wrong with going back and looking and then revealing the science to everybody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, now I trust it coming from you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That is what I believe. A hundred percent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And honestly, like even after 17 years of marriage, he doesn't do anything that like grosses me out. He's like, I don't know. I just find him very attractive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Meanwhile, I will say Elon's out there. Like we did screw up. We canceled funding for Ebola. Nobody likes Ebola, but you know that we're resuming that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It doesn't sound like Trump to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Was your show the first one in which he explained the weave?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It was, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That was an amazing soundbite.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
But he is very funny about, not about me, but about other people that like his number one thing that drives him nuts. And his brother has it too. And I think it's called mesothelioma. Not like the lung disease you get, but it's, I may be saying it wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. I mean, well, I don't know if this is true, but they say like the average person lies something like 15 times a day. It's something ridiculous. But no, that was a great interview that you did with him. We actually have a clip of it. Right. Let's let's let's play it and we'll take a break later.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
He, he wasn't wrong. Like it was, and he does do the weave and he does manage to land it back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah, you're riveted. The train is going. Yeah, but he will get back to Ukraine at the end. He'll get back to Ukraine. To his credit, because that's the place where most of us fall apart. You know, you lost your train of thought. You're off. You're meandering down a tributary. You never get back on the main river. Trump always does. All right, stand by. We're going to take a little tributary now.

No, it's where you can't stand the sound of somebody chewing. Ah. It drives him- I was way off. Insane. Yeah. Mesothelioma is like the lung disease, and this is meso- I got to look it up. But he doesn't like hearing people chew. Mezzophonia. Thank you, Steve Krakauer. Yeah. Mezzophonia, right, where it drives you nuts if you can really hear somebody chewing. Chew. Yeah. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's amazing. I have to say. There are a lot of women who do it, but I've never had a male OBGYN. Yeah. And I never want one. My wife's dad is an OBGYN.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I don't know. Some women are totally fine with it. Yeah. He's not looking at you as like an individual. Not at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They don't see it that way. Like, I think they're able to distinguish between the moment they're with that personally versus professionally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You know, you got to go for your annual exam. There's checkups. Yeah, they do the full checkup. Pap smear, right? That, yeah. And you know, they can get on it up in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's very unpleasant. They put like this like clamp thing in you and then they take like this long Q-tip and they rub the cervix and then put those like cells on a Petri dish and send it out to go see if you have like early cancer. Oh, so it's to see if you have cancer. I mean, among other things, I'm sure. But yeah, that's what I think it's for. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And you guys have to do that every year. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's most of us go once a year. Wow. Now you can potentially go once every three years, depending on like your health and whether you've had this HPV vaccine. That's very controversial. We did a whole show on it, but in any event, yeah, it's not pleasant. It's not pleasant even when you have a female doctor and they check everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, no, doesn't your normal doctor, though, handle you and make you cough and check for prostate issues?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I hate myself for loving it so much. You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat is sinking, and you don't buy gold when the economy has already collapsed. Clearly, others are heeding this advice as gold hit all-time highs already this year. It's not too late for you, too, and you could have Birch Gold help you diversify into physical gold.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, you're a lucky man, because I'm sure if you had a problem down there, they would send you to a urologist, and then he'd grab you like a ketchup bottle, and you'd be uncomfortable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I know the whole thing with the doctors is like very intimate. They, they get right up in your space and like, there's no way around it as a woman. You, you know, you have to let them check your lady parts and then you get to the age where I am and you got to go for the mammograms and they grab your breast boob and they squeeze it down like a pancake. It hurts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And they're like, they're squeezing it. And then the woman's running out of the room to x-ray you. And you're like, why am I stuck in here with all the X radiation?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And they're telling you you have to do it once a year. I don't know if I believe in it anymore. I mean, you do. Don't listen to me. Don't go for your mammograms. I'm just saying, like, now you had to start going, I think, at 40 or 45 and do it for 10 years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I mean, my Nana had it when she was 81, which I don't think technically counts, but, but it doesn't matter because most of breast cancers come in families where you didn't have a family history anyway. Really? Yeah. So you have to worry about it no matter what. It's just one of those things you hate. You hate the annual physical for this reason, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And there's somebody in the extended family who's like, every time you sit down with this person, they get a big bowl of raw carrots and start like downing it. And both brothers are like.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You just start, got to start thinking about all the things you don't want to think about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. You're still young. So I don't, do you get an annual physical?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's bad. Good dental health is very important. Yeah. Yeah. They say that. And the longer you wait on that one, the worse it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Thank you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. I'm not good at detecting them. I actually just found out that most people are wearing veneers who have those thousand watt smiles. Yeah. I didn't totally know that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Like it's going to be like the Kim Kardashian, but where people start rebelling.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Oh, okay. Here's a, here is a transition. Oh, good. Tell me. Speaking of the Kim Kardashian, but yes, her ex Kanye West has a different wife. Now, Bianca, they may or may not be getting a divorce. There have been rumors and reports that they are, but unconfirmed. But before Kim, I think, and before Bianca, there was Amber Rose.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Who wound up speaking at Trump's RNC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And she gave an interview on Club Che Che with Shannon Sharp. And she spoke to why Kanye likes apparently having his wives be naked in public, like a lot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
He does. So are you a quiet chewer then?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And she said, he did it to me, he did it to Kim, and he's doing it to Bianca. What do you make of that? That seems so odd to me, to want everybody to admire your woman so much you want her to go out naked in public.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I'm actually pretty quiet. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right. To get attention.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. I'm really kind of proud of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I have pretty good table manners. You'll see this with your new daughter. I mean, that's something with your kids. That I've like bestowed manners upon them. You can never let up. It's like they don't hear. They don't listen. You could tell them 10,000 times and they still don't listen. You don't go to the food. The food comes to you. Yeah. You know, like all the little things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Did you see all the porn he tweeted? No. Superbowl weekend. Oh my God. So all my, all my friends were texting me like, don't go on Kanye's X speed, which of course you got to do. You go immediately. What's he doing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And I could not believe my eyes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I don't think it was him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It was a black man and a white woman in the videos without the faces and most of them. So I not sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Um, but it was very graphic triple X porn. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
all over his x feed yeah and i was like oh my god right so then i logged off of that and it wasn't until a couple hours later that i remembered to mention it to doug i'm like oh my god so he went back it was still up yeah like it hadn't been taken down that's not surprised me because like there's a moment like the super bowl where he knows that everybody's attention is going to be on somebody else oh so he's like i'm gonna make this about me that's interesting
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Do you think the Hitler comments are coming from the same place?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's interesting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020

That I like.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Right. Well, there are a lot of people like that in the public conversation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
What if you always have to do the most subversive thing, the most controversial thing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's back to the old, you know, Michael Jordan didn't tell you what a great basketball player he was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I was actually with somebody from another sport, which I won't reveal who it was because it would make it obvious. But they were like, I'm the GOAT. Everyone knows I'm the GOAT. And I remember thinking, I don't think the GOAT ever calls himself the GOAT. No. It's not a thing. No. So you've got this very successful podcast now in addition to your comedy routines. What do you do on that show?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Are there any limits? Is there anything you do to make it a success? Somebody was just asking me this about my show, and I was like, that's not how I approach it. I just kind of do what I – I just talk about what I want to talk about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Small bites, small bites. And still you see your kid with like a mountain of food shoving it in there. You're like, I can't send you out into the world like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I really think that that is fool's gold, right? Just to go for the viral clip, because it's like, you might get a lot of subscribers or follows or whatever, or even just views or likes of that one clip, but they're not real, right? I'm so glad you keep going. This is great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
They're not going to stay like, that's why you see people who have a huge number of subscribers on, on YouTube, but very little engagement because their fans are not actually like, they just click to watch that one clip, but then they're, they're never coming back. Whereas if you just work on doing good programming every day, they're real.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
It's taking me, I don't know how many hours of my time, but I've done it because it's a very compelling story and it's an important one. And I'm really, really hoping that we can get to the bottom of it together. It's a new series that I'm doing. Hopefully not every episode is gonna take three years, because it's a short life, but it's called Megyn Kelly Investigates.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's what I'm calling the series. And the first topic that we tackled is one that is near and dear to my heart for a number of reasons, and it's the story of baby Lisa Irwin and what happened to this 10-month-old baby. we go deep inside this case and the unsolved mystery. You have never seen the facts that we have uncovered about this baby's disappearance. We have brand new stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
We have explosive interviews. Every single character involved in this story did sit with us, did speak to me. And, um, Well, I'm just going to leave it at that, but I'm going to show you the tease now. And the whole series is going to air on this channel next week. Watch. A baby girl vanishes in the middle of the night. It's a case that's never been solved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Megan Kelly investigates. We go deep into the clues. Her car was set on fire. Seeing a man with a baby is huge. New reporting. I was terrified. Was that chilling, Cindy, when he admitted that? Yes. I couldn't believe it. That was totally not true. I will always love him. Expert analysis. She gave us truth in the lie. And that's our best lead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020

I still have some questions I have to say. I never took any sort of manners classes, though I would love to get some for my kids. If somebody offered that, I would totally hire this person. What is that called? I don't know. Etiquette classes or something? Like class? Yeah, class.

I don't remember my parents ever correcting table manners. You just, it's something I picked up on later in life when I got to be more of a professional person. Yeah. But I still have questions. Like here's one question for the audience. Maybe they know, maybe you know this. When you're eating soup.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
No, that, I know you're supposed to go from the front to the back. I know you're supposed to. I don't do that. You're supposed to scoot from the front to the back. It is stupid, but you're supposed to do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, here's my question on it, though, in addition to those. What do you do with the soup spoon when you are in the middle? You want to put it down and or when you're done. Does it go right back in the soup or does it go on the little –
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
And then somebody gets it. That's not okay. No, it's either supposed to go right back in the soup, which is what I think you're supposed to do. Or you're supposed to put it on the plate, like the saucer underneath the soup, that plate that's holding the soup bowl.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
With the soup, that's true too?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I do know what to do on the plate when you want to signify you're done.

Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, I always leave 50%. What? 5-0. Yeah. I always leave 50%. But can I tell you something kind of surprising? What? Is it good or it's bad? It's good. Yeah, it's a lot, right? I mean, they're not the government. I always want to be overly generous to the waitstaff. I mean, wow, that is a lot. I got to tell you something. Women don't usually tip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
You will never read a report about me being a bad tipper.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
I got this from Sean Hannity who tips 100%. He does? Yes. Oh, wow. I'm like, that's too much for me.

He does not need to stray. He's with Ainsley. He's good. Well, listen, I was going to say I would have I would kind of expect that when I go back to these same restaurants and have the same waiter, like maybe I'd get a little bit more white glove treatment. Yeah. I notice absolutely no white glove treatment. I don't think it really counts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
So I just have to feel good about it in my heart, which I do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Well, I mean, it would be nice if somebody was like, thanks. Thanks for it.

Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
Yeah. My 13-year-old daughter just asked this question at the dinner table last night. This is where it's going for you. She said, is any act of charity ever for the other person or is it all selfish? Isn't it all selfish?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020
That's, that's what she was saying. And she was saying, even just to make yourself feel good, there's an element of selfishness in it. And then my brother-in-law said, what if you threw yourself on a grenade? And she said, no, still you're, you're doing it. Like there's some piece of you that's doing it to feel good about saving somebody. Or you might be like awarded the medal of honor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Andrew Schulz on Why Trump Dominates Culture and Politics, Becoming a Dad, and Dating Red Flags | Ep. 1020

It's great to see him think about it and lean into it. I agree with you. There's a difference. Trump hasn't changed his basic nature, which is good because that could be very useful to us. But there's definitely been a softening, I think, of him as a human in that he seems a bit more loving. He seems a bit more serene.

And they put out this interview, which they sliced and diced. And you weren't quite sure what was, you know, was this the natural, like, was this a full interview or wasn't it? And then somebody online on Twitter was smart and pointed out that the tease that they had aired the day before on Face the Nation showed the interviewer's question, something like, Netanyahu doesn't appear to be listening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And Kamala's answer was, And then the next night when they aired the full thing or that, whatever, yeah, the Monday night, it was the same question with a different answer. And that led to this whole thing where Trump wound up suing CBS News for $10 billion for fraud, consumer fraud, defrauding consumers to win an election. And the FCC demanded a transcript of
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
of the interview, which for some reason CBS just would not release. It became a big public firestorm. People said, just release the transcript. They said no. Well, now they've had to. They were forced to hand over the full raw video and transcript to the FCC this week. So it turns out now we know the full sit down with Kamala was just over 50 minutes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And what they ultimately aired was a cut down version that was about 20 minutes in length. Now that is typical for 60 minutes. They don't normally air their full interviews and they don't typically release the raw videos anywhere. But having said that, they've done it before. They released the full transcript, I think, or video of J.D. Vance. Catherine Herridge was pointing that out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
They've done it before. So once it became a controversy, why wouldn't they have done it, right? The preview clip hit Face the Nation. It didn't match the version we saw the next night on 60. And watch, you can see that discrepancy in this clip here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Not much better, but slightly more clear. With the release of the full video, now we know how that whole thing actually took place. First, the question from Bill Whitaker was actually edited down, and the part taken out was more pointed than the way it aired in either version. And you can see the full Kamala answer too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Okay, so what we learned is that the first half of that inane answer was aired on Face the Nation as a tease, and on actual 60 Minutes, which aired the next night, they used the second half of the answer, which was... More succinct, though I don't know that it was more clear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
I'm going to have to say 60 might have just been shooting for something that was a little closer to comprehensible, if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Neither answer was good. They both sucked. But now we do know that there wasn't more inanity stuck inside the answer. There were just those two bits of inanity, and they chose one for Face the Nation and one for 60.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Okay, but there's more. Because now we've seen the raw footage of the interview, and we learned that the next 10 minutes of Q&A was edited out entirely. Again, this is always going to happen. It's not inappropriate to edit an interview with a presidential candidate. That is the format of 60.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And most of us have limited time and limited airspace to put our interviews up in this kind of thing, like a pre-taped setting with somebody who's important. Not now, because I'm on podcast, but back when I was on the cable news or the broadcast news. But look here at what we never got to see.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Surrounded by young, innocent, fresh-faced girls who just want to play their sports against other girls. That's all they're asking. Just for fairness and safety in sport. Something that for many decades has been a foregone conclusion in the wake of Title IX, but wasn't recently. Thanks to Joe Biden, that villain.

Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Okay, so she said absolutely nothing. You guys all know how many times we heard those stupid phrases, meaningless, out of her mouth. You can make the argument that, okay, they didn't need to include it because everybody's heard her say it. But you tell me whether it's putting the thumb on the scale editorially to take that out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
In essence, you could make the case that you're running cover for her because she is showing how what an empty vessel she is, that this is all she's got. This is a major supposed to be substantive sit down. And that's what she fills it with. This completely empty calorie calorie list filler that she says everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Like you'd have to have the debate internally about whether you're running cover for her and taking that out. Later in the interview, Kamala went on a bizarre aside about picture day in school in Ohio on the subject of the eating of the dogs and the cats in Springfield, Ohio, which they also saved her from.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Unbelievable. That's where she went. Words have such power. What could happen to the children? Well, let's look at what did happen. Picture Day got spoiled. It got spoiled, I'm telling you, Bill. And by the way, then she references the, you know, the bomb threats, which we know and knew were international. Some came from Russia. It had nothing to do with America.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
It was just shit stirring from out of the country. But somehow that's Trump's fault, all of which would have led to criticism of Kamala Harris. And it got omitted from the interview. All they included was that last sentence. I'm glad you're pointing these comments out that he's made. They've, you know, led to a response from people saying it's it's wrong. It's just wrong. All right. Another one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And his sidekick, Kamala Harris, who actually tried to convince us she could do this job. You know, we've talked about this, but the night before the election, I went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and did something I've never done before in my life, certainly not as a journalist, but not even as a private citizen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
I'm going to get Andrew to comment on all this, but we had to get this to you. In another section, a substantive discussion on the border. And this part was edited out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
She's a know-nothing. So, Andrew Klavan, was it election interference, as some on the right claim, including President Trump this morning? Just your typical 60 minutes cut down? Or them, I mean, my own vote is like, it's not, I'm not surprised that all the edits they made were to her benefit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And that was I endorsed a candidate and spoke on his behalf and urged other people to vote for him. And I was there specifically, this was my task, I wasn't asked specifically to do this, but my choice to explain my vote was to tell people that those who were mocking President Trump's promise to protect women did not understand what he was actually going to do when he took the office.

He keeps doing more incredible things, amazing things, gifts to us, just writing the deep, immoral wrongs that were done to us during the Biden administration. And we knew he was going to. He promised that he would. But aren't you so used to being disappointed by politicians? Everything's too hard. It didn't work out. The Democrats wouldn't cooperate.
The Megyn Kelly Show

They're going to settle it because CBS News, Paramount is trying to merge with this other group and they need government approval. So he's going to wind up getting another donation to his presidential library, I'm sure. Listen, I've got to get to this before you go. You predicted the Bianca Sansore nudity at the Grammys.

Who has the confidence to do that? It really like it doesn't take a lot to get attention, especially as a woman who happens to, in her case, be beautiful. Though my husband, Doug, was like, I'm like, she looks she has a beautiful body. He's like, she does not. She looks totally manufactured like a Mr. Potato Head with all these huge parts added onto her body.

Godspeed, Bobby Kennedy. Let's hope you can do it. Welcome back to The Megyn Kelly Show. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was voted through the Finance Committee this week along party lines 14 to 13. That means he will be headed for the Senate floor for a full vote, though that vote has not yet been scheduled. Reports are that it will likely happen next week. Will he make it?

from the crimes committed by illegals who are here, who repeatedly offend, and then in these sanctuary cities get turned right back out onto the street, which is what happened in Lake and Riley's case. And now what? We've had three executive orders, one declaring that sex is binary. There are no trans anythings. You cannot transition from being male to female or female to male. You can pretend.

I was thrilled to see Cassidy vote yes. I want to say, again, thank you to the audience of this show because we gave out his contact information, and I'm sure his phones were ringing a lot, but I think they made the difference because it's not that often that a barrage of people start calling a U.S. senator's office or emailing the office, and indeed Politico has a report

out this week saying Cassidy acknowledged that his phone was ringing off the hook with calls from supporters of Kennedy and his Maha movement. So right on our listeners and viewers, you made a difference and America and your kids hopefully will be healthier as a result of it. I want to ask you about Cassidy though.

So he seems to be saying there that they're going to be super close, they're going to talk several times a month, that he promised that the immunization schedule recommended by the CDC will not change. That is controversial, just the schedule, not pulling vaccines, but the schedule. And lastly, that he will not pull down the statement that the vaccines don't cause autism.

Good. Well, good on him for coming to the right decision. And sorry for all the phone call senators, but you did the right thing. Not really sorry, but I'm sure it was kind of annoying. Okay. A couple of things to get to here. When I sat in that hearing, as when I sat in the Pete Hegseth hearing, I could not believe the performance by some of these Democrats, Senator.

You cannot use Medicare funds or Medicaid funds to chop off the healthy genitals of children in the name of this sick ideology, nor can any institution taking government funds in any way perform these procedures and continue to accept those funds. And now we get this one, this one that has 79% support of the American people.

There are reports out this morning that the Democrats are now getting ready to vote no uniformly, all of them, on all of Trump's nominees, because this is their way. This is their new hashtag resistance effort because they're angry about what he's doing with executive orders, with USAID and Elon.

And so now there there's a movement by Chuck Schumer to have them say no to everyone from this point forward. If so, it would mean the Republicans really can't lose more than three votes. So to get RFKJ or anybody else through, you'd have to make sure that Cassidy stays steady and that there's not another Cassidy lurking.

We all know that possibly Murkowski, possibly Collins, possibly McConnell could be no's. So first, let me ask you, what do you think of that plan? And secondly, do you think that there is a different Cassidy who might surprise us and vote no against Kennedy? Because we are going to need all the Republicans, I think.

Well, I really hope that these Democrats, whether they vote for him or not, can get behind the Maha movement, which is not political at all. There are Democrat moms and Republican moms and dads, for that matter, who want their kids to be safer and who want themselves to be safer. It's silly for people to prioritize this piece of our national conversation. It doesn't need to be politicized.

Okay, you talked about these elites in the scientific field and how they've had a we know better than you approach and how this has been a longstanding fear in the United States.

about myocarditis and pericarditis and other side effects and serious risks or adverse consequences of the COVID vaccine.

So what happens now, Senator? Because now we have President Trump's team going into those organizations. Of course, RFKJ ideally at HHS. And then we're hoping Jay Bhattacharya at NIH. And we're hoping Martin McCary at FDA. So are we about to get the full disclosure on what they knew and when they knew it?

67% of the Democratic Party is on the same page as Donald Trump on whether we should have boys who pretend to be girls playing in girls sports, men who pretend to be women playing in women's sports. The answer is no. This was immoral. It was evil. And it's coming to an end.

Because, you know, we don't want to wait until after the midterms when we might not control both houses of Congress with sane people who will vote for this. So what does that mean? I mean, are you confident that Thune will bring it to the floor for a vote in the Senate?

We continue to face uncertainty when it comes to the economy with a perfect storm brewing as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point as the largest generation is, of course, hitting retirement.

67% of Democrats are in favor of Trump's policy. 67% of Democrats, 79% of the electorate as a whole. So you should bring it to a floor. Make them say no. Make them say no before the midterms. That would be really fun to watch. Um, a couple of things you mentioned, you know, you're in a big push to get Trump's nominees through.

The Democrats have decided to make Russ vote the nominee for OMB, Office of Management and Budget. They're their new fall guy. They don't want him to get through, but they can't stop him because he does have the votes.

Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance. And the best part is Burna can be shipped direct to your door and it's legal in all 50 states. The good thing about Burna, if you're somebody who doesn't practice with firearms all the time is you don't even have to have the best aim.

If you can hit like the wall right behind the intruder or the bad guy, you could potentially incapacitate him with this. What's essentially, essentially like a chemical weapon in this projectile. So you don't actually have to hit the guy. As long as you get it really close to him, it could take them out for the next hour, which is the time you need to protect yourself.

So I learned something in preparing for this interview that I did not know before. I didn't know that. I mean, I knew Hellsings. I always knew that they were kind of like bad boys, kind of cool, badass. But I didn't know that there's some rumors that you might have to kill somebody to become a part of the Hells Angels.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
So what are the Hells Angels?

You have to be admitted? Yeah.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
So I noticed too, because there's a lot, there's a big group today that's very into mixed martial arts and jujitsu in particular.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
People are loving. I know Joe Rogan loves it. I know Jocko Willink, he came on the show and said he believes we should all have our kids learning jujitsu.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Not just for the physical, you know. nature of it and it's self-defense, but the discipline, the mental discipline that comes with it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And you, how many black belts do you have?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
You're very impressionable. You saw the dad do the boxing, you did the boxing, and you saw Bruce Lee. I'm glad you didn't watch Tootsie too many times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And you love Superman too, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
I used to watch that Superman show every day after school. It was in black and white. They'd run the reruns.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
And, uh, with the original, you know, now it would look so dated to us. Right. But yeah, it was great at the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
So you start doing the jujitsu or you start taking the martial arts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Oh, wow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Do you have a favorite of those? Like if I'm going to have my kids take Jiu Jitsu, which one would it be?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
So if you've got all these black belts and all this discipline in the martial arts, how long would it take you to knock me out if you wanted to? You? I've never hit a girl in my life. If you had to, let's say like 30 seconds, 60 seconds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
It's a similar theme to what we just saw today. Not that Trump is God, but that God was present as he signed that executive order in the darkness of these past four years yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Well, you're not afraid of, not a girl, but you're not afraid of punching a celebrity because I've heard there was an incident with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
What happened with him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
What happened?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
That's where all the beautiful women went to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
How did he upset you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
About you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Yeah, yeah. It's a long time ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Is it like an Italian thing? Like you got offended. He offended you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
So you went over and gave it to him. Yeah. And he did not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Right. He goes down. No, it's like you don't want to insult him. I understand. That's sweet. But most of us, the thought of punching Jean-Claude Van Damme is horrifying. We'd get punched back and it would not go well for us. You have a lot of experience. He insults you. You take him down. And then there's actually a really fun epilogue to the story 17 years later.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
What happened?

Good for him.
The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
No, you didn't. I brought it up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
But the reason he knew you prior to that whole incident, you pointed out, was you were his bodyguard. So you took your background in learning self-defense and so on and parlayed that into being a celebrity bodyguard. You bodyguarded some of the best.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
She's in one of my and my husband's very favorite movies, Arthur.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
That alone is self-defense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Oh, yeah, there's another one. What's that?

Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Oh, wow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
There's a scene in the movie where Sylvester Stallone, who I know you also bodyguarded, must feel like a very big responsibility. I mean, if he can't take care of it himself, it's a serious threat. So it's got to be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And we saw Conor McGregor at the inauguration. He had a bunch of bodyguards, too, for the same reason. It's not that they can't protect themselves.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Here's a bit from Sly and Brother Frank in your documentary, Stop 44.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Absolutely. As he was speaking there, we heard a soundtrack pop in from Joan Jett. Joan Jett. And there's a reason we have Joan Jett. She's also in the documentary talking about her relationship with you. Here's a bit from Joan. This is great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

these people must really like you to have appeared in the film, you know? Cause it's one thing, like I've had lots of bodyguards here or there at various events. I'm not sure like they'd ever call me to be in one of their movies. So how do you maintain, like what happens there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
We get used to like, well, I guess, you know, we tried. And what's happening? Yes, it's via executive order. Yes, it can be undone by the next president. but it's something, it's progress. He's doing what he said he would do. He's fulfilling the promises he made to us. And then he will also push for the legislation. He is doing that too. But at least we have a four-year fix.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Cause you, in between the boxing and the martial arts and the bodyguarding, there was a stint. She mentioned Japan where you went, there was some brief time in the slammer. It was brief.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001
But this becomes kind of relevant to your friendship with Trump. I mean, when he got indicted on criminal charges- For his alleged bookkeeping errors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Momentous Girls' Sports Exec Order, CBS Reveals Kamala Edits, and RFK's Odds, with Andrew Klavan, Ron Johnson, and Chuck Zito | Ep. 1001

I, I love everything you said. I'm feeling like I, I feel euphoric about it. I feel emotional about it. I feel a lot for the girls who have been hurt over the past four years who, you know, all these trans lobbyists are like trans people exist, you know, don't erase our existence. They erase the pain of girls just like that. They just pretend it didn't happen.

You know, I referenced that night in Pittsburgh and it was For me, it was a big deal to go and do that. I've never done that before. And it was really important to me to do it.

If I could convince any of my fellow women, because I know that there are a lot of Democrat women who were kind of open minded to Trump because of issues like this, who were still being told he was Hitler, who were still being told he hated women.

And I felt in my heart that if I could speak to them, if I could reassure them that even notwithstanding my weird past with Trump, I was fully on board in supporting him and that they needed to see him through this different lens. They needed to understand he really would protect us. He really would.

And that absolute cretin Chris Cuomo then mocked me for saying I needed to be protected by Donald Trump. I do want Donald Trump to protect me with laws that enforce, for example, our immigration policies. And I do want him to protect my 13 year old daughter, Chris Cuomo. So go fuck yourself if you don't understand that. But this is what I said that night. And it's why I'm so emotional today.

The boys should not be in the girls sports. The boys should not be in the girls' bathrooms. The boys should not be in the girls' locker rooms. Peyton McNabb, North Carolina sophomore in high school, slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball hit at her by a boy pretending to be a girl. She suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis.

Kamala Harris looks at her and says, be kind, suck it up. And that's what's right. Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to be kind to boys who want to invade their sports? And lo and behold, he did it. He stepped in there. He's been in office two weeks and two days and he signed this executive order.

Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities. I'm feeling emotional about it, which results in the endangerment, humiliation and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.

It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women's sports more broadly as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity and truth. Directing that this secretary of education take all appropriate action to affirmatively protect women.

all female athletic opportunities, and all female locker rooms, and to prioritize Title IX enforcement actions against any educational institution that denies female students an equal opportunity to participate in sports or athletic events by requiring them to compete against or appear unclothed before males. What a day, Andrew. What a day. He did it.

And if another president comes in after Trump and tries to undo it, they will feel the acute shift in a way that will be profound and will, I think, stop the next president from doing it. So there is real value in these executive orders. Forget that. That's a valid point, the one I just made.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and our second show from Washington, D.C. today. We actually had planned on sticking around this morning and we were going to do the interview with Marco Rubio, which we already released today. Check it out. A lot of interesting stuff in there.

We were actually supposed to be flying out of Reagan today, like right now. And we knew that wasn't going to happen. Amazingly, then they did open the airport. And I just, like, I cannot imagine. We are flying later today. I just can't imagine flying out of Reagan right now with that scene still in recovery and them still trying to find the bodies, the remains of those killed.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So I think the real question is- So would you know as a helicopter pilot, you just, I mean, I don't know, is there a calculation that shows you how big you are and how close you're getting to the plane? Or is it just your knowledge of this is the size of the aircraft I'm in and I don't want to get anywhere near that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I suppose we should be open to the possibility of helicopter malfunction, too. I mean, we don't know for sure.

My pal Janice Dean was reporting the weather this morning for Fox, telling us that last night, while it was windy here in D.C., very windy yesterday, by the time this happened last night, just before 9 p.m., the wind had died down. It was extremely clear. The temperature had calmed down, too.

She was convinced as a meteorologist that weather was not a factor in this, though she said bad weather is coming, which is going to affect the rescue workers as of tonight, bad winds and And, you know, you just got to feel for the first responders and the families still on site, hoping for any sort of miracle, John. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
They don't have everybody. The last number I heard was 28 bodies from the plane and one from the helicopter have been recovered and the family members must be in a holding area just now. in such pain. I cannot stop thinking about them. So we're going to start the show today with news on the plane and we'll bring you the very latest. It's truly like all anybody's talking about.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Me too. It's so awful. All these ice skaters are young, promising ice skaters. The future of our U.S. Olympic team, apparently it was the young ones, not the ones who will compete in a year, but the ones who would be competing in four years after that. And at least 14 members of the U.S. figure skating team believed that.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
to have been killed that doesn't include parents and coaches um these uh two russian figure skaters who had moved to the united states evgenia shiskova and vadim nalbov married 1994 world pairs champions just the beauty of those two on the ice and to think of just these promising incredibly talented i'm sure they've been sharing their gifts athletes with everything in front of them

And then the others, you know, we haven't gotten all the details, but undoubtedly there will have been children, there will have been grandmas, there will have been people who had no idea that getting on a flight from Kansas to Washington, D.C. would be the last thing they'd ever do.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
The only comfort to me as somebody who has a mild to moderate fear of flying is that they wouldn't have suffered, guys, right? I mean, like, they wouldn't have suffered. This would have been a very quick ending. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And they take an oath to protect and defend. They're out there to save lives. That's what those guys are doing in no way. Clearly, did they mean to do anything that would cost them? Guys, thank you. Thanks so much for your expertise and for being here.

say a prayer for the families and for the first responders. And he's right for the air traffic controllers who still have to go out there and do their job. You know, I'm not a great flyer. My friend, Abby, a different Abby, and I have been joking for years that we're going to go learn how to fly, you know, because they said that's what cures fear of flying, but I'm too afraid to do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
But here are some of the stats that were circulating last night. Every day, more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers traveling for work or fun or to visit friends and family and trust their lives to the FAA. More than 45,000 flights a day. And we have not had an aircraft crash like this since 2009. Think about that. Think about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And then, hold on, my pal Yashar Ali, independent journalist, last night tweeted out the following. He said, I know this doesn't always help, but please remember that the last time there was a commercial airline crash in the U.S. was in 2009. Since then, there have been over 150 million commercial flights in the U.S. alone. Not one crash until tonight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Commercial air travel is the safest mode of transportation. Now, that's absolutely true. More than 150 million flights. Totally safe. No crash. But the New York Times had an article in August, this past August, about how close calls happen far more often than was previously known publicly. Multiple times a week, they said, involving commercial airlines, including
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
thanks to mistakes by air traffic controllers stretched thin, by a nationwide staffing shortage, and obviously there's the risk of pilot error as well. And this is one of the reasons why President Trump, we have no idea, this is not a DEI comment, but that's one of the reasons why he's eliminating DEI in all aspects of the government, including the FAA. This industry is,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And then we will get to the politics happening in D.C. because President Trump, if there's one thing we've learned over the past 24 hours, is he needs his cabinet in place. He he he needs his top advisers. And yes, thankfully, he has Sean Duffy as secretary of transportation. It was his first day, couple of hours on the job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
all industries, but this industry and the medical industry where lives are at risk must, must be based truly solely on merit, on merit. So beyond that, you know, it's so hard. We're going to do things to fix the risk of a helicopter running into a plane. You know, we'll, we'll put those patches in place, but every once in a while out of 150 million You're going to have an accident.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And the thing about air travel is it's just so catastrophic. It's not like a car crash where, you know, it's tragic enough if a family dies or a couple dies. But, you know, to see 67 people dead in an instant right over the nation's capital is traumatic. It's jarring for regular Americans who get on planes all the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And it's just part of living in a free society where air travel is the miracle it is. And we use it and rely on it heavily. I, despite my fear of flying, will be back on an airplane today out of Washington. And God willing, I'll be fine and so will you. But prayers for those affected by the horrific tragedy in D.C. today. Glenn Grewald is here. We'll be right back as we take a turn to politics.

It was an extremely busy day on Capitol Hill, so let's get into two of the hearings, and we'll do the third in a minute. Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel. My next guest is the perfect person to be discussing those with. He's Glenn Greenwald, and he's the host of Rumble's System Update. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 2014, which we mention every time he comes on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Well, we don't always mention what it was for. It was his reporting at The Guardian at the time based on the documents that were provided to him by Edward Snowden. whose name was mentioned non-stop at the Gabbard hearing today. Glenn, that must have been surreal for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I mean, you knew it was coming, but I mean, if you had walked into the room and offered to testify at that moment, they would have said yes in a heartbeat to cross-examine you like they did with Tulsi. Let me play a little sound before we get into it, and I'll kick it off with OK, I'm going to do I'm going to do three soundbites.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And Hegseth had been confirmed to DOD, which obviously is involved because of the helicopter. But God forbid this had been an international crisis or a terrorist attack. He needs his DNI. He needs his FBI director. He needs his CIA. He needs all of them. So no more jerking around. These senators, stop delaying. If you're gonna vote no, then you're gonna vote no, then go ahead and vote no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
OK, and I'm going to set it up and then you're going to take it on Snowden. But I want to give the audience a feel here. First is a Democrat. He was the one who first started it. Senator Angus King, Democrat of Maine. His was rather gentle. Here's how it went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
All right, I lied. I'm going to show you two soundbites because they're too long. That was a Democrat. Now here's Republican James Lankford of Oklahoma trying to dig down on Snowden too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Well, they didn't stop there, Glenn. As you know, they, I guess I will play it, forgive me. I just want to set it up properly. Michael Bennett, he's a Democrat from Colorado, went all in and was not happy that she would not sign on to the T word, traitor. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
You're allowed to vote no. But stop with the, we need additional documents. We need seven more rounds of questioning. It's like, this is serious stuff we're dealing with here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Okay, Glenn. Having said it all up, your thoughts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
um there were three major trump administration confirmation hearings today after we interviewed the secretary of state we did go by the tulsi gabbard hearing which was actually quite interesting it wasn't full of fireworks although there were some uh as we saw with rfkj yesterday or certainly what happened over in the kash patel hearing today but
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I actually was thinking about that because I feel like if if you'd been out there, you would say, no, he's not a traitor. And let me explain why. Why do you think she because she just knew she'd be losing too many Republican votes in particular if she was just forthright.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So it was striking to me to see how much time was spent on that. Granted, I was only there for about an hour and 15 minutes of the whole thing, but almost that entire time was spent on Snowden. I was thinking I'd be drunk if we were playing the Snowden drinking game, Glenn. And then swoops in, right before I left, Senator Ted Young, Republican from Indiana, who is a critical vote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And I don't feel good about him voting yes on Tulsi. I could be wrong. You know, it could be like a Cassidy situation with RFKJ where like he played it in a way that confused me at the hearing and he winds up voting yes. I don't know whether Cassidy is going to vote yes, but I didn't feel so good about Ted Young. And I know a lot of eyes are on him. He also brought up the Snowden stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
My God, it was like almost only because it was uniform opposition to her. It was amazing. Usually you sit in these things, you can tell which side is the Dem, which side is the Republican by who's giving them the hardest time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And here's how that went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
What are your thoughts on that one, Glenn?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Today, I think she got a tougher time from the Republicans than she did from the Democrats, with the exception of Michael Bennett, or at least that was my impression in the hour plus I was in there. We've got all the highlights. And then later in the show, we're going to have Callie Means, who's going to talk to us about the RFKJ nomination.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I mean, it was pretty amazing. John Cornyn, too, Republican, was all over her, not on Snowden, but on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the FISA court and the warrants and Tulsi's reversal, which, again, you tell me if you disagree. She had to reverse herself on that. the use of the FISA court and these warrants, or she never would have been, she'd have zero chance of getting confirmed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So she did an 11th hour, like, oh, I support it, even though I've been very against it because they amended it and they made some changes that were acceptable. Literally, she might've just kissed her nomination goodbye if she hadn't said that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And so these senators were not accepting the reversal and Republicans like the FISA court, they're now much more controversial under Trump and with MAGA, but- Old school George W. Bush Republicans love FISA. So John Cornyn is part of that crew. And here's a little bit of how he and he was bringing up the 702, this provision which allows these these behaviors under FISA. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
We're also, after we start with the plane, going to get to Glenn Greenwald. He's got a lot to say about Tulsi and cash. He wasn't mentioned that I heard by name, but his reporting was by almost every senator. Glenn is the journalist who published the Edward Snowden leaks on the NSA spying program, the domestic spying program. Or, you know, that's not exactly how they'd refer to it.

Now, I am nowhere near as neck deep on FISA as you are, but I do remember the Fox News days of defending the FISA court and the FISA warrants because we were post 9-11. We were very scared and they were using the FISA court. to try to get warrants on people they believe might be domestic terrorists, might be, you know, going to let off a bomb.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And so in that posture, I was like, great, do it, go for it. And I remember defending even the NSA program that Snowden, you know, leaked on and you revealed in your reporting to some extent because it was – they defended it by saying we weren't really spying on Americans. What we were doing was we would –

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
If a suspected foreign terrorist was talking to an American, then we would listen to the conversation. But you had to have that link. It wasn't just like, let's listen to Meghan and Glenn. It was, oh, Meghan's having a conversation with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Yes, we're tapping in and we're not going to give her all of her Fourth Amendment rights before we do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So can you take those two points on?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And he, I think, is completely aligned with Tulsi's worldview about that needing to stop and about Snowden deserving a pardon. I know that. He's in favor of that. So we'll talk to him about whether these were fair attacks inbounds, out of bounds, and whether we were being told the truth by the senators who are all over her today. But we begin with a tragic crash.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
It's his first long foreign sit down since becoming secretary of state. And then we were going to fly home and cover the Kash Patel, the Tulsi Gabbard, and the second day of our FKJ hearings from our home studio in Connecticut. And that plan fell apart after the horrific plane crash last night here in DC. I just, I mean, I'm sure like you, I've not been able to stop thinking about it.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Well, it's like you broke trust. He broke trust with the United States. Like, OK, if that's going to be our standard for declaring someone a traitor, Joe Biden is going to have to be accused of being a traitor. I mean, like how many lies did he I'm not going to pardon my son. I never did business with my son. Oh, and by the way, I'm totally competent to do the job.

I was just going to say it doesn't much matter because he gets to vote and you and I don't. And he's going to do it behind closed doors and he's going to probably vote her down. I know she can still head to the floor, but how can she get a vote? I think that I think even the floor vote can be stopped if she doesn't get cloture, if she doesn't get 60 votes for cloture.

Yeah, maybe maybe that could stop if we got somebody at the top of all those agencies who could be trusted to protect Americans. Fourth Amendment rights, to be honest with President Trump about the intelligence assessments that are coming in and wouldn't be so interested in seeing her information appear in the pages of The Washington Post or in overseeing organizations that have people like that.

I mean, what what could happen if we tried radical change there, too, in the same way we're trying radical change at. DOD and hopefully HHS. That's the point of Tulsi. What we've been doing has led to the collapse in some ways of some of our most fundamental ideals in our country. And people have had it. That's why they elected Trump. He said he was gonna put her.

It was an Army Black Hawk helicopter crash. that collided with American Eagle Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, arriving here in D.C. at Reagan National. Sixty-seven dead, 60 passengers, four crew members, plus the three soldiers aboard the helicopter just before 9 p.m. last night.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
You know, the top is just there is a mandate for Trump's nominees. Why can't we just try it? I don't know. Like they want us to believe we're going to get bombed tomorrow by some terrorist organization because Tulsi said no to FISA or Tulsi thinks Edward Snowden might not be a traitor.

And that's really impugning the woman's integrity as someone who's not a patriot, who doesn't love the country, who won't act in our best interests. And I'll just I'll play this one last soundbite, then I'll give it back to you. And then we'll move on to cash. But here was Tulsi. defending some of these attacks in a more sweeping form as part of her opening statement in Satu.

Honestly, I'm glad you said the woman thing because I was I was talking to Steve Bannon yesterday on his podcast. And he said, why do you think they're coming after her over and over with this? Like she's Putin's puppet and Bashar al-Assad. And I said, I have to be honest, there is something that is jarring to me that has to do with the fact that she's a woman. Like she's easily manipulated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
She's too dumb. to see through an attempted manipulation by Bashar al-Assad. You know, it's like I went over to Russia repeatedly. I sat with Vladimir Putin, former KGB agent. He definitely tried to manipulate me. He knew exactly which buttons to push. He knew I was a mother. He tried to talk about my children. He tried to talk about his own children to soften me up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I understood fully what he was doing. I was not manipulated by Vladimir Putin. It was interesting to watch the stagecraft, you know, the witchcraft, spycraft of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
But there was there's an assumption with her, I think, that she's just easily she doesn't understand how they're trying to manipulate her and the fact that she could emerge after somebody who did try to manipulate her with a more nuanced view, like not not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
not emerge from the meeting with Bashar al-Assad or from studying Putin by saying they're the most evil dictators ever, but to say I wasn't manipulated, but I do see this situation differently than some of the neocons do, that's it, right? That's her biggest sin, that she's not allowed to have nuance. You have to be totally against them. I will do one more soundbite.

Amazingly well said. Exactly right. So we'll see. I do believe that we'll find out what the vote was. Tom Cotton is running Hurd on that committee and he's very much behind Tulsi, which is good. He's such a noble guy, too. I just I think he'll he'll do his level best to get her across the finish line, which is not 100 percent sure it's possible because.

All right, let's talk about Kash Patel, who spicy fireworks. He was given as good as he was getting that they don't. They don't like him. The Democrats don't like him. It wasn't going badly for him with the Republicans, which is really what he cares about. We kicked it off. Actually, Senator Tillis, who's a Republican, had a funny moment that went viral on X. And you'll see why. Here it is.

Okay, so I love that, the Kash Patel bingo card. And true to form, that's how it sounded. I'm going to kick it off with an exchange Kash had with Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat of Minnesota, and she ran for president not long ago, and he really was not taking her, trying to give him the business. Watch.

I really enjoyed the exchange about what's going to happen with the FBI HQ, because, you know, politicians like Ron DeSantis and others and Trump, but explicitly DeSantis made this a big issue. I've been saying we need to get the FBI out of Washington. This is not the place for this building. They need to, you know, touch grass, one of those kinds of things.

I hope President Trump picks up the phones and, you know, put some pressure on these Republican senators to stand by him and give him the cabinet. He's asked for. They're not a rubber stamp. It's true, they're not. But the president has a clear agenda, and that agenda does speak to exactly this strain. He definitely ran on this.

And so if this is your objection to his nominee, you're not going to like the next one either.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. back on the hot seat today on Capitol Health. Do you believe they made him do this twice? I don't totally understand why, to be honest, but he had to go in front of that was that was finance yesterday. And now today was the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. HHS is just so big. It answers to both.

This committee is the committee will not vote on the nomination in order for it to go to the full floor for a vote. That's going to fall over to the Senate Finance Committee. which RFKJ appeared before yesterday and we covered for you in yesterday's show. But these Republicans matter. So they're all showing their hands a bit on whether they might actually vote for him. And we care.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
We especially care if they're Republicans. And we especially, especially care when we're looking at Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, who is a Republican and who, in my own view, yesterday did not appear exactly warm toward RFKJ. Keep in mind, Trump can lose three, but not four Republican senators. He already got hosed by Murkowski, Collins, and McConnell on Hegseth.

The odds of them not tanking him on his more controversial nominees, which in some ways RFKJ is, are slim. And so they cannot They cannot lose Bill Cassidy. So are they going to? So he was the chairman of the committee before which RFKJ appeared today. And he, as the chairman and the ranking member always do, gave his own opening remarks and spoke openly about some of his reservations.

Senator Cassidy, who was a physician before entering politics, also told the story about the worst day of his career, treating a young woman in liver failure due to hepatitis B. He told Kennedy $50 in vaccines would have prevented this. And then the two of them, Senator Cassidy and RFKJ, had a very tense back and forth regarding the measles and the hep B vaccine and autism concerns.

Now, at the end of this hearing, Senator Cassidy made clear he is still unsure, still unsure about his vote for RRKJ, saying my responsibility is to learn If you can be trusted to support the best public health, you may be hearing from me over the weekend. What does that mean? Lift the dress up, Senator. Show us all. Callie Means is one of RFKJ's top advisors.

He's truly one of the reasons why he's even been chosen for this role. And he is one of, if not the, founding member of the whole Maha movement. He's the man responsible for the Trump-RFKJ alliance. He and Tucker, I would say, are the two. And when RFKJ endorsed Donald Trump last summer, he mentioned Kelly in his speech.

Oh, gosh, likewise. I'm such a huge fan of yours. So I saw you yesterday, but I didn't see any of the hearing today. My team pulled some great sound bites. Didn't see any of it today because I was with Rubio and then Tulsi. So you've sat through it all. How did today differ from yesterday, and how are you feeling?

I mean, didn't see the airplane. I guess we have to rule that in as a possibility, Wiz, because you can hear the controller saying, forgive me for not having the exact quote, but can you see the plane? And the answer was yes. And then the collision happened seconds thereafter. It was something like 7 to 10 seconds thereafter.

So we don't know, you know, the instruction, the question is a little vague. You know, which plane? It must have been obvious to the air traffic controller, but we don't know that it was obvious to the helicopter pilot.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Can I just say that? Because I had a very visceral reaction to that soundbite. That's the first I've heard that. And I really feel like how dare he try to extract that statement from RFKJ. I mean, there are millions of Americans who who either are personally or their children have been vaccine injured based on different vaccine experiences. It doesn't mean the vaccine's always unsafe.

It does depend on the person sometimes. But how dare he try to get him to say out loud. Vaccines are safe. And I favor vaccine. Well, like which vaccines? The COVID vaccine? Because I can tell you, I, along with a lot of other Americans, have had very negative experiences with that. And I would be outraged if I heard him issue such a sweeping declaration.

Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I mean, as you well know, is it safe for a 15-year-old boy who, you know, might have a heart murmur? Senator Cassidy, why should RFKJ say it is? Kids could get killed. Like that's a crazy thing he tried to get him to say at the end there. And I'm glad RFKJ won't do it.

And the American pediatrics is a big vaccine pusher on the covid vaccine. They were every at every turn. They're they're big on the trans thing. They're big on the the covid vaccine. There's a long list I've learned. And I think a lot of people have during covid. Do not trust them.

Instead, what we got was an obsession with measles. I mean, like, they were really – none of this was discussed unless Bobby – He intentionally seized the mantle to try to inject it into the conversation. And Senator Ron Johnson did a great idea or did a great job of allowing him to express his ideas. It was all about measles, about such small ball nonsense, Callie.

You're outlining we are in the midst of a massive public health crisis. People at home... Everybody experiences it like it's just them. It's just their mom. It's just like they made bad choices. They have chronic obesity. Oh, well, I have bad luck.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Like what you and your sister Casey and RFKJ and others in this movement have done such a good job of is connecting the dots and saying you're not alone. Look at the numbers. There are millions, tens of millions of Americans suffering. Someone needs to care about investigating why this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And by the way, forgive me for interrupting, but President Trump is on record as saying he's not going to touch the MMR vaccine. And Bobby will listen to Trump that he made that clear. So it's not in danger. Keep going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I'm absolutely devastated for these 67 families now who have the most horrific experiences experience in front of them and now behind them of waiting in the airport to see if there's any sort of good news coming out of this awful tragedy. And then late last night, we were told it was a recovery mission.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Yeah. Now, I want to tell the audience, with respect to Senator Cassidy, who needs encouragement to vote yes on Bobby Kennedy, call his office. Do so respectfully. Don't be nasty. We don't have nasty audience members.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
But just call and express in the clearest, most strong terms you can find how important it is to you, especially if you live in Louisiana, how important it is to you that he support Bobby Kennedy. And here's the number for his D.C. office. 202- 224-5824, 202-224-5824, 224-5824, 224-5824.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Call there and please make clear, especially if you live in Louisiana, how important it is to you that he support Bobby Kennedy. I mean, there's so much that hangs in the balance with him. And the media attacks on him have been so unfair, Callie. The Democrats attacks on him were so unfair. I think Senator Cassidy is an honest broker. He didn't go to the totally unfair places.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
He's just very focused on the vaccine thing. But he he seems to be controlled by it right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Just to make clear, again, the number is 202-224-5824. That's his D.C. office, 202-224-5824. I know it's asking a lot. It kind of is to ask somebody to pick up the phone, make a call, say something kind of plaintiff, something that may not be well-received, although I'm sure they'll be very respectful there. But it's for the health of your children. It's for your own health.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
It's for the health of your mom and your dad as they go into their golden years. We need we need to try this. That's how I feel. I feel really strongly about this one. We have to try this. It is an inflection point. And if we don't get him in, I don't know when it will be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
I mean, I think Trump will appoint somebody who is generally aligned with some of these views, but not somebody like him who cannot be pushed around and who has a lifetime of. of taking on these industries who seems to almost enjoy it. Like, that's kind of what you need. You can't have a witherer. You know, that's the great thing about Trump. Well, he's not a witherer. He will stand up for us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So, Callie, and by the way, I think we're going to get three for the price of one because he's very close with Callie and Dr. Casey Means, and it would be great to have them advising. I'll give you the last word. Go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Thank you for everything, Callie. Thanks for being here and to be continued. Wow. We are so lucky to have him. I mean, he and his sister, you know, his sister's Dr. Casey Means who came on with her book, Good Energy, and then Times Thereafter. But he doesn't have to be doing this. Callie, I think, went to Stanford and Harvard. She went to double Stanford.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Like they've received the most elite educations. They were accepted in the most elite circles. And they both said, we don't give a damn. This industry, these industries are killing people. The things we thought were helping people are killing them and no one's talking about it. And so they've made it their mission to help the rest of us, which is what brought them, you know, into RFK's world.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
And now they're willing to work for us. They're willing. They've spent their adult lives studying what's wrong. What is the FDA doing? Why aren't the medicine, the drug companies working to actually develop cures? Who should we distrust the most?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Well, how can we solve FDA to actually work for the people instead of just grease the skids for their entry into the private sector so they can build a nice beach house? What's going on with our water supply? How can we protect ourselves until we actually... clean up the actual supply. How can I prioritize maha-ing my life?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
What are the three things I can do if I have no budget to try to help make my maha lifestyle happen? What foods at a minimum should I avoid? Where can I go? It's not Whole Foods. It's not Trader Joe's. It's the kind of foods you're like, make it easy for me. That's what they want to do. What we have right now is a government that's trying to make it harder and truly is working to make you sick.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
There's no other conclusion if you look at the number of things they're doing. And this could be the before and after moment. Senator Cassidy, please, please, please do the right thing. I'll call you too. I don't live in Louisiana, but maybe you want to hear from me. Maybe not, but I'm going to call anyway. I'm going to do it, you guys. I hope you do it too. 202-224-5824.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Spare 90 seconds and make that call. and see if we can get him over the finish line. Thanks to all of you. What a busy week, right? And we're not done yet. We're going to be back tomorrow with Charlie Kirk. I will now begin my journey back north. Wish me luck and much love to all of you. Talk to you tomorrow. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Mm hmm. Can you guys explain? I don't know, John, maybe this is for you, but can you explain what we're seeing in that video that we just played? Because, I mean, if you look at it closely, you can see what appears to be the plane, the regional jet, the American jet in the front. And then there there does appear to be another aircraft. I'm assuming it's the helicopter, but I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
Coming from behind, like almost it looks almost like it's chasing the plane. But I don't know that that's the helicopter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
But see, yes, there's something approaching it. So that's not the helicopter. That's a different airplane. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So night vision goggles would not be good. I've never worn them, so I don't know. But you would not want those on the helicopters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
They did not believe at any point thereafter that they actually could save anyone, which seemed clear with a helicopter slamming into a regional American Airlines jet. I mean, it was a fireball in the sky. And here in D.C., we were in our hotel room, Abby and I, And in downtown DC, you could hear the sirens, one after the other after the other.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
No, no, you go ahead, John, finish.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
So do we think, Wiz, that this was does it look to you at this point like helicopter pilot error? Because what I'm seeing on the screen and what I'm hearing from you guys isn't really looking at the pilot of that regional jet so much as, you know, what was this helicopter doing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tulsi vs. the Establishment, Kash on Hot Seat, and RFK's Final Push, with Glenn Greenwald, Calley Means, and More | Ep. 996
It feels like the helicopters should not be allowed anywhere near the path of these commercial aircraft. though I realize they've been doing it a lot without any incidents. So it's like, okay, just because one went bad doesn't say it should all be banned. But John, is there some minimum required distance that they're supposed to keep when they're in the airspace?

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Today, our exclusive interview with the 72nd Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. This is his first long-form sit-down. He said it was his first interview since taking on the new role just over one week ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Were they shocked when Trump sent out his tweet?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Now, does that make your job easier then?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So you can just say, hey, look, the boss has said exactly how he feels. Believe him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
The New York Times said, okay, you guys got away with this with Columbia, but you're not going to be able to pull that trick with... Russia, with China, with Iran. If you try to sort of bully these stronger nations in this way, it's not going to go very well. Is that a fair point?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
It does, right? So you're a week in now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
There's so much I want to go over, like the change between the Senate and here, how you're, you know, what's it like to be at the heart of the deep state? But let me start with the plane crash.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
There's a large delta. What about, you mentioned China. Did you recently have a call with the foreign minister? The foreign minister. And there was a report that you were, you received a sort of warning that you needed to basically watch yourself.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
But we're going to address it. Well, that brings us, we have more on China, but that brings us to Panama, where you're about to go. And China's obviously playing a role down there and is one of the reasons why Trump has been saying, President Trump has been saying, we want the canal back. We never intended to give it to the Chinese. That was never the game plan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
They don't technically control the Panama Canal, but they do have interest down there. Can you explain it so people can understand it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
I mean, are there these Chinese control or Chinese businesses along the canal, very large ones that could easily be turned into military facilities? Do they have to get rid of them? What are the kinds of things we could ask for that would satisfy us?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
There too, like you mentioned with Colombia, is there a risk if we play too hardball, we drive them into the arms of the Chinese?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
People need to understand that Panama is not exactly about Panama. It's about the Chinese, which you've been jumping up and down about for a while, warning that people may not realize just how grave the threat is. And you said something, I think it was at your confirmation hearing, to the effect of if China gets what it wants in 10 years or so, life could look very different. Maybe even faster.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
For us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Does it underscore at all why President Trump needs his nominees confirmed quickly?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So, I mean, it's a dicey situation. President Trump knows all this. Yes. And yet one of the top Chinese leaders attended his inauguration. He understands that it has to be played very carefully. We don't want to make an open hot war enemy out of them, but we've been passive for too long.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
How does Greenland fit into all of this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So there was a conference call between President Trump and the Danish prime minister. Apparently it didn't go very well. It reportedly involved some sort of a meltdown on the prime minister's part. They don't want to give it up. So what options does that leave us? Because President Trump did not rule out economic or potentially military use.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So when President Trump said he might use economic or military coercion, what does that mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So let's look forward four years. Does the U.S. own Greenland?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Yeah, God forbid we had something happen on an international basis. You're installed, but Tulsi's, you know, that could take a while and there's been a little foot dragging. All right, so you've been in the job now for eight days. What's the biggest difference between being a U.S. Senator and being the Secretary of State?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
We talked about Colombia. That's part of President Trump's effort to shore up our borders and get rid of the illegal aliens who came under Joe Biden. Part of that's going to include Yes, Canada, he's said that as well, but also obviously Mexico.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
And President Trump is threatening to slap tariffs on both of them if they don't get in line and start doing some of the things that we want them to do as soon as this Saturday. They're jumping up and down saying, we wanna cooperate, let's work diplomatically before you slap tariffs on us. Where do you stand on that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Are these tariffs going to kick in on Saturday?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
But what are the risks to us? Because you've got the Premier of Ontario saying we can't bring a knife to a gunfight here. If they're going to do this to us with these tariffs, we've got to fight back the same way. We supply them with a bunch of electricity. Let's shut it down. So can Canada shut our lights off?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
One of those issues that's become dicey within the Republican Party is NATO, which we've talked a lot about these other countries doing their fair share and doing their part. And this is why NATO has become controversial, because there are many people who believe, what are we doing this for? I mean, it made sense right after World War II, but does it make sense today?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
And the United States tends to be the dominant player. The Europeans can support themselves. They don't need the United States to be the big babysitter of the world. And it creates more opportunities for us to get involved in foreign conflicts that we shouldn't be involved in. To that, you say what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
manner in the alliance and then it'll be a stronger alliance and it'll be able to work cooperatively not just in europe but in other challenges we face around the world hopefully even the indo-pacific potentially ukraine's another issue that's got the party divided you know you've got um a lot i'm sticking with the republicans now because there's a whole other debate with the other side of the aisle but who say no you know putin's a bad actor russia's a growing threat and we're doing the right thing by backing ukraine
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
and I would say the majority of Republicans now are against that viewpoint and think we've spent too much. It's any place from $105 billion to $187 billion, and they've lost. We just have to be realistic about the fact that Ukraine has lost. It's not going to gain back any of this ground, and we need a negotiated settlement now before we keep throwing good money after bad, and we can't afford it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
We've got Americans who are suffering now. I think that's the majority view, even on the Republican side now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Of all the Trump 2.0 nominees, he's the only one so far who gained, I mean, entirely bipartisan support, passing unanimously by the Senate with a 99-0 vote. and as the only nominee to receive a vote on day one of the second Trump administration. On the eve of his first foreign trip as Secretary of State, interestingly, to Panama, we get into everything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Who's the bigger problem? in reaching a final negotiated settlement there, right? Is it Putin or is it Zelensky? There's a report out that the Ukrainians are just banking on Putin, digging his heels in and becoming annoying to President Trump on this because he won't give an inch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
And they're hoping that President Trump will come back over closer to their worldview about Putin, about Russia, about this conflict. So who do you see as the bigger obstacle into getting a negotiated peace there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
I asked him, I asked him, why do you do it? When I interviewed him and he said, I give the people what they want.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
And then there's Israel and the return of the hostages, which still include Americans. Right. Supposedly, we're going to get three Americans back in the first tranche, the first phase of this hostage deal. Do you believe we will? And what are we going to do if we don't?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
You know, in the wake of that plane crash, I had to wonder last night whether their predecessors from the prior administration were calling Pete Hegseth, were calling Sean Duffy. Have you spoken with Anthony Blinken at all? Was there any sort of good tidings sent your way?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
No, would not be coming over for Sunday dinner.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Domestically, Trump pulled the security around Mike Pompeo, who was his secretary of state. And I wonder if that, what your reaction was to that, because his defenders are saying it's an outrage and that, you know, he looks back now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
On the subject of risk assessment, we pulled U.S. foreign aid, we paused U.S. foreign aid with humanitarian exceptions and then there was a bunch of negative blowback on how this was stopping critical medications and other humanitarian aid that was being provided to our third world allies. Now we've loosened that spigot again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
So the criticism is that we got too far ahead of our skis by pulling too much too soon. in response to what you said?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
They deny that that's true. The Biden administration denied that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
I'm going to wrap it up, but I do want to ask you about just a couple more things. Number one, Eight years ago, you and I were across from each other on a debate stage. Donald Trump was center stage, and he was insulting both of us. And things have really changed in eight years. Can you talk about that evolution for you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
You gave it back to him just as good, and I gave him a few punches too. So it was fair game. We were both fair game back when that was happening. It was almost 10 years ago now, that debate, that August 15 debate. I mentioned at the top of the interview flippantly the deep state thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
You know, it is a real concern for a lot of people that there's like a group of people at state and elsewhere who will actively work to undermine your agenda and President Trump's.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
But what about just since you took the job? Does he give you a letter in the way that Biden left my first job? He did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Pretty cool. Your parents were from Cuba. They immigrated here in the late 1950s, I think. Your dad was a janitor. May 27th, 1956. Your mom works in a hotel as a maid. And here you are, Secretary of State. Final thought on what that says about the United States of America.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995
Those dreams have led you to this position and soon to Panama, where we need you. You've got an important job. Good luck. Thank you. Thanks for doing this. Great to see you again. A lot of fun. Thank you. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

It's such a tricky time to be Secretary of State, especially as a Republican, because you look at the Republican Party and it's fractured internally about where we should be on foreign policy. It's not like during the Bush years where it was, you know, we were much more neoconny on the right.

And now there's a real division within the right, within MAGA even on how, what should we do about Ukraine? Most of the party, I think, wants nothing to do with that anymore. What kind of saber rattling should we be doing about Iran? There's a large strain that believes none. We should be focused on China and we should stop demonizing Iran and Russia and keep our eye on our biggest threat.

I know you think they're our biggest threat as well. So how, just give me the 30,000 foot level view of how you're gonna navigate that fraction.

How do you think, we did in the last administration, because Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor, now former, under Joe Biden said, our alliances are now stronger, as they left office, our adversaries and our competitors are weaker, Russia's weaker, Iran's weaker, China's weaker, and all the while we kept America out of wars. What's your response to that?

Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Is everyone nursing their Liberation Day hangover? I just, okay. There's going to be a bunch of tariffs. Pretty much everyone is against it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
So Trump is jacking up tariffs on Japan, not necessarily based on their tariffs, but based on a trade deficit because of regulations they've put in place that make it impossible for us to compete over there in the way they can here. That's what he's trying to rectify. The defenders of the free trade world say, yes, all of that sounds good on paper. The unfairness is a very easy argument to make.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
There's so much in there that everything you said is brilliant and important. The Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C. was just scrubbed and taken down. Here we are five years later, right? Almost exactly five years later, right? George Floyd was the end of May in 2020. And what did that group accomplish? What the number of cancellations that they pushed for, you know, that all about cops.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It was all about what these allegedly racist cops were doing coast to coast, just hunting black men. Right. Isn't that how LeBron put it? This, what's happening with the lack of fathers in several black homes, not every black home, and this isn't about black people. There are black people listening to this show right now who are as outraged over this as we are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But there is a problem with fatherless homes in a large portion of the black community. And where is the push on that? Where would these black leaders, Patricia Cullors and the others, to try to do something about that, which actually would have helped black kids and all kids have a safer future?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It's not totally dissimilar from what happened with the Nashville shooter, that woman who went into a lower school and killed six people at the Covenant School in Nashville, March 27th, 2023. We don't say the name of the mass shooters here, but it was a woman who was having gender issues dysphoria and was trying to become a male or wanted people to think of her as a male.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And this was the case in which our audience may remember. They refused to release the manifesto. They said it would be too disturbing. It would be too dangerous. And then about a year plus ago, Stephen Crowder got his hands on at least a piece of the manifesto and released it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But net net, we're still the strongest economy in the world because of our free trade. We actually don't make a lot of things domestically and won't start to just because of this plan. And that this is going to cause what's called stagflation, where inflation goes up and the economy slows. And eventually we could see job losses. They're predicting all doom and gloom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And this woman had all these bizarre trans fantasies involving having male sex, like she would be the male with her stuffed animals and how if she would just go up to heaven after committing all these murders, she was sure God would put her in a boy body, completely whitewashed. Like the media did not want it. The cops, nobody wanted to talk about the trans element of this woman's
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
craziness of her insanity. And now they finally concluded their investigation on this Covenant school killer. And they release a 48-page report, which does not include the word trans. It does not include the word trans. It has other passing references to some gender issues, but it's completely downplayed. It's like it was, you know, basically not relevant to it. This is...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
A little bit of the reporting, despite needing more than two years to complete its investigation, the the police department confirmed that this person acted alone. And during the attack, during the attack itself, no one around the killer had knowledge that she was planning the attack, although her parents knew she had thoughts about killing her father.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
They found that her parents, her mental health providers and the firearm retailers who sold her the weapons bore no responsibility and had no prior knowledge of her plans. And now they stay in this conclusion that she didn't leave behind a manifesto, Michael, because it wasn't laid out in one single document. that there's all sorts of justification for this. Listen to this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
They write, early in the investigation, it was suggested that this shooter left behind a manifesto detailing her motives and intentions. By definition, a manifesto is a mission statement or other document written and disseminated by an individual or group to enumerate or expound upon the guiding principles and beliefs that inform their actions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Regardless of length, a manifesto is a single document that outlines all the factors, intentions, and objectives of an individual act or a series of actions. In this case, a manifesto did not exist. The shooter never left behind a single document explaining why she committed the act, why she specifically targeted the covenant, and what she hoped to gain, if anything, with the attack. Really?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Now that's, now they've been saying for two years that it would be too dangerous. They didn't think we could handle it. It's too disturbing. Now suddenly it's, oh, it didn't exist because it was in the form of multiple documents and not just one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I feel like we're looking at parallel stories in a way here where the shooter, the killer is in a protected group about whom you are not allowed to say certain things or ask certain questions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Why don't we give them a chance? Why don't we see how this changes things? Because over the last 25 years, our manufacturing industry has been gutted. It's been sliced in half. In half. You know, I heard Adam Carolla talking about this the other day, and it was a good point. He said, as you know, half of L.A. burned. And he was like, you know who's out rebuilding it? Men.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But let me just ask the people who are literally talking about a so-called trans person who killed six, three six year olds and three adults. It's absolutely factual in the case that we are discussing at this moment. Please keep going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
The just before we leave this subject, here's just a couple of statements that Stephen Crowder reported on when he broke this story last year that did not did not wind up in the police report that this shooter had written. Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm ready. I hope my victims aren't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
quote, kill those kids, quote, going to fancy private schools with those fancy khakis and sports backpacks with their daddy's Mustangs and convertibles, quote, want to kill all you little crackers, bunch of little faggots with your white privileges. Now, I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no reason why the final report should not include those statements. Here's more.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
The Tennessee Star reported on some of what was found in the manifesto documents, but not in the police report. The shooter wrote extensively about documents. gender identity, her gender identity, including a three-page entry the killer titled My Imaginary Penis, in which she wrote about expressing sexual fantasies with stuffed animals.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I can pretend to be them and do the things boys do and experience my boy self. God, I'm such a pervert. I waste too much time in my fantasies. The shooter wrote a political rant in an entry dated one month prior in which she complained the U.S. fails to respect the rights of disabled people, gun owners, and transgender people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
So now because of you, I wish death on myself because of the pure hatred of my female gender. Quote, if God won't give me a boy body in heaven, then Jesus is a faggot. Forgive me for these words. I can't be happy. I'm meant to die.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
How does this not wind up in the... We cannot have the realities of these people who wind up committing individual murders or mass murders, whitewashed for some sake of being sensitive to their particular... And by the way, one of the things that we also learn about the shooter that's not shocking is she was on the autism spectrum.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And the reason I say it's not that people on the spectrum murder, it's that a lot of kids on the spectrum... go down the gender rabbit hole. They tend to have the patience for a three-hour session on Reddit. They can have obsessive thinking. And so they're particularly vulnerable to these online social media traps that are laid for kids who are not trans to start believing that they are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Men in excavators and dump trucks with bulldozers and shovels and bricklayers. Men like that are going to rebuild the Palisades. Men who nobody in the Palisades probably gives two shits about. That's the truth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It's really no surprise to those of us who cover these stories a lot that this young woman had some sort of autism spectrum disorder and wound up getting sucked into this cult. It happens time and time again. Another thing you're not allowed to say. Another thing we may get censored for. It's just sick and tired of it, Michael. I know you are too. I've seen you get attacked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I mean, I've seen what's happened to you. And you were on the early edge of this. You know, I just... I'm really sick and tired of it. I care. I'm going to be honest. I care more about the life of the innocent kid who Metcalfe who got killed than I do about these kids who have murder on their minds. I also care about them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But I just have to say, like, I'm not so sensitive that I can't discuss what really led to the murders. I'm really thinking more about preventing the next murder. Here is the brother, the twin brother of the boy just killed in Frisco, Texas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Oh, that's the twin brother that Austin Metcalf is the kid, the 17 year old killed. That's his brother Hunter, whose life has been devastated. I mean, it's not even just about the loss of Austin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It's about what happened to Hunter as the eyewitness and the twin brother and what happened to the dad, Jeff, who's already searching for forgiveness, but very capable of identifying some of the risks here. There's another story. It's not exactly the same, but it's, It dovetails. There is, for lack of a better term, a teacher sex scandal unfolding in Chicago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And the tape of this woman has gone everywhere. And I understand why. Trust me. I worked at Fox News for 14 years. There wasn't a teacher sex scandal we didn't cover there. But there's some level of depravity in our society. I mean, that's really what we're talking about. There's some level of depravity and in some cases mental illness.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Well, there are a lot of those guys in this country who've seen what they know how to do best absolutely devastated by a globalist agenda that cares more about free trade than they do about our own American guys. And Trump is of a different ilk. And he's never stopped thinking about these guys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And this woman, while, yes, she's a woman, so technically in one of the favored classes, that's not what this story is about. She is getting some press coverage. But there's something wrong with a woman, as she's accused of doing, who has—well, they're accusing her of raping a 15-year-old student. No one is saying that her student, who she allegedly raped—
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
sex without consent was special ed, but she was a special ed teacher at the school. So I don't know whether he was or he wasn't, but he was 15 years old. It happened in 2023. Reportedly that student's mother found disturbing text messages between the two of them when she logged onto her son's iCloud account after she bought him a new phone. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
He was a soccer player that she coached and she was also tutoring this young man. And the mother, of course, went bullshit when she found the text messages. So this woman gets pulled over. There's a couple of pieces of tape here. She gets pulled over by police with her husband in the passenger seat. She's in the driver's seat a couple of days ago. Here's a bit of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Of course. OK, so she's very angry that the husband can't come with her. She's arrested, not really understanding what she's arrested for, supposedly. I mean, OK, how many crimes had she committed? Because that one should have been pretty obvious and on the nose. And then there's tape later where it's dawning on her what she's in trouble for and what's about to happen to her. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
What we won't see is the video of this boy's mother crying at night in her bed, I am sure, the night she discovered that this had happened to her son. I have a 15-year-old. They're young. They are not yet men. They are... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Reportedly, he read Rick Santorum's book on the manufacturing crisis and what we did to our own before he ran for president. It was basically Rick Santorum's platform when he ran for president and won Iowa a few years before Trump came on the national scene. And I don't think he's ever lost that. There are trips.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
There are clips of Trump back when he was in his 40s talking about we need tariffs and thinking about the more working class manufacturers of America. So this is something near and dear to his heart. We have never in recent history given it a good try. And I think we need to be patient with the president who ran very much on this, very much on this and deserves a shot. That's the tariffs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
OK, there's a lot of other things going on. There's some really disturbing cultural stories that I want to get into because they say a lot about where we are later in the show. I'm going to be joined by Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks. But we begin today with Michael Knowles. He's hosted the Michael Knowles show over on The Daily Wire. Tariff wars, stubborn inflation.

So this could be your future as somebody who is not necessarily in the Donald Trump fan club. I don't see you in the red hat. You too, if you know Kid Rock at all, or even I think I could do it, could get invited to the White House to sit down with Donald Trump. He brought Bill Maher. He was on Bill Maher's show. He convinced Bill Maher to go to the White House to the satisfaction of no one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
There's a strain of diehard MAGA that is open-minded to doing something in a different way because while the system has worked well for the top 1%, it hasn't been working that great for the folks in the Rust Belt. I, for one, say we give President Trump a chance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
No one wanted to see this. It's kind of like when Mika and Joe went to Mar-a-Lago. And Bill did it, even though he really doesn't like Donald Trump. And he says he's going to talk about it on his show. I guess he's off this Friday, but I guess the following Friday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But in the meantime, we're getting a flavor for what went down because Kid Rock went on Fox and Friends the next morning and said this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Amazing. And by the way, it was also added that Maher showed up with a list of terrible things that Trump had said about Maher. And he showed it, I guess, to President Trump, who signed it and gave it back to him. Wow. Classic. Classic. Anyway. Yeah. So what do you make of it? Because the left is very unhappy with Bill for doing this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I don't know that the right is loving it either, but I think they're used to Trump doing this now because he's had a parade of liberals come to him from big tech people to media people. So what's your take on it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It took us decades to get into the tangled mess they're trying to unpack now in D.C. How long is it going to take to get out of it and at what cost? Text MK to 989898 today. Michael, welcome back. Oddly, I don't want to start with tariffs because I think I've summed it up accurately. And if you really want to do a deep dive into tariffs, there's probably a lot of places you can go for it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Do you think, I know Bill loosely, I've been on his show many times. I really do think he can't stand President Trump. I mean, he truly has got like a sincere case of the TDS, but he did this, which was extraordinary. So do you think there's any chance he comes out liking Trump?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I'll tell you a funny story of how I met Kid Rock. It was 15 years ago. I was hosting an afternoon show on Fox called America Live. And I would go through the show email while on the air, like during the commercial breaks and the audience would write in and you kept it interactive. And an email popped up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
saying it was from Kid Rock and that he was in town in New York that night for his birthday and was wondering if Doug, my husband, and I could come. And it said where the party was. And it just had the ring of truth because it was specific. It had Doug's name. But I was also like, this has got to be bullshit. So I forwarded it to my booker and I was like, can you see if this is real?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Because I actually am a fan of Kid Rock's. And so she got back to me and said, it's real. So that night, Doug and I went to this little bar that Kid Rock was having his birthday party in. We walked in, he was sitting there, he looked at me, he goes, holy shit, it worked. Yeah. and we became friends ever after. So I really like him a lot.

And he's, listen, he's gone, you know, he's very pro-Trump now and he's MAGA, but he really was a political independent who was very open-minded. I would put him closer to like a Joe Rogan who was maybe in a lot of ways more blue in his politics, but then we all lost our loving minds as a culture. And he's kid rock for God's sake. I mean, there's zero chance that he is going to go woke.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And that among other issues, I think drove him into the arms of Donald Trump and MAGA.
The Megyn Kelly Show

What I want to talk about is our country and some stories that are in the news today that are just shocking. And the number one is this poor kid who was murdered down in Texas, in Frisco, Texas, by the name of Austin Metcalfe. It's all over the news today. He was at a track meet in North Texas. I'm just reading here from WFAA.com, a local source there in Frisco, Texas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I totally agree with that. And I do think there's a reason for it. I think it's because people who are on the right spend their whole lives dealing with people who disagree with them. You know, that's just society. Well, it's split, you know, 50, 50 or 55, 45, depending on the era, Dem and Republican. And now that Republicans have the edge these days.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But overall, liberals control the institutions. You know, they've controlled the media for a long time. They control Hollywood. They control big sports. They control big corporations. So if you're a conservative or even just center right, like you have to deal with them everywhere. And K through 12, not to mention college education, my God. Everyone, everyone's liberal and they want you to be too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
So you either need to like be able to talk the talk or be able to politely engage. And as I always say, not make that the stakes of your friendship, if you're talking about actual friends, you know, because in where I grew up, you'd have no friends if you, if you only waited for conservatives to come into your life, right? Like, I was living on the West side of Manhattan for the past 17 years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I wouldn't have a single friend if I waited for it to be all conservatives. And I didn't really want to hang out with my Fox people because while they were fine at work, you know, it's like, you don't want to fill your social life with media people. That's a, you know, that doesn't, that's not where anybody wants to go. So, yeah, I think you're absolutely right. But it's disheartening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It's disheartening because, you know, recently I lost a friendship over politics. I mean, at this point in my life, I thought we'd be past that. But as I've gotten more pro MAGA, that's been like a deal breaker for some of my leftist friends.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Yeah, and Trump's ripped on him too. I mean, it's been a mutual non-admiration society, so perhaps he'll be a thaw. To his credit, Bill Maher is a comedian who still wants to be funny. He does his monologue every week. He rips on both sides. He's genuinely looking to make people laugh, and he's really good at it. Okay, so do we take this over into the field of romance, though?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Our general mutual philosophy of... Don't rule out somebody as a friend or somebody you'd speak to because of their politics. Because there's this viral video, I'm sure you saw it going around on the internet. I saw it on X, but I'm sure it's on Insta and TikTok and all of them, of this liberal woman who says she broke up with her boyfriend over politics.
The Megyn Kelly Show

He was, okay, it happened around 10 a.m. at a university down there. Frisco High School. Sorry, it was a Frisco High School track meet, but it happened at a university championship track meet. And it was being held with these independent schools present. The victim who died was 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. He was a student attending Frisco's Memorial High School.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Virtually every man I follow on X has the same response. Dodged a bullet there, man. Congrats. Can I just, before we get to the substance of I won't date a guy who doesn't show my politics. she's extremely unlikable. She's caustic. She's smug. She's, she said there's an arrogance to her. Like it's my way or the highway. I know better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I mean, you're disgusting because you don't agree with me politically. Like there's a disdain, even though, you know, half the country disagrees with her politically. A lot of really good, beautiful people disagree with her politically. Why, why is that associated so often with these liberal women who do these posts on, on social media?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I'll tell you something right now, Anna. He didn't agree with her on social issues. It was a lie. Probably if he's fiscally conservative. he's not in today's social environment, maybe like the social environment of 15 years ago, where the big thing was like gay marriage. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
You know, you could be like a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage Republican, like a Rudy Giuliani, but there is zero chance in today's day and age, somebody who says they're fiscally conservative is actually socially liberal too. I don't believe it. So she was right that they had vast differences. I just find her so disdainful and unlikable that

And women like that are giving like my liberal friends a bad name because she's so nasty and seems to be like playing fast and loose with this guy's feelings like he's a nothing to her just because he has different politics. All right. One more for you on the on the culture front. And this is another woman, and this is going to take us to a place that I've really been dying to discuss.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
This is a woman named Paige Connell. She's a TikTok mom influencer. And she decided to post a very long... I watched five... I gave this woman five minutes of my life, which I'll never get back. It was all about how... She's a working mom. Her husband works too. They have kids. She's very, very unsatisfied with the amount or was of housework and support he was bringing to the home.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And she really had to lecture him into doing more and then was extremely disappointed when he did not live up to like her expectations. Let me play what we have of it. It's not 39.

His twin brother, Hunter, was there as well. He went to sit down and found another student in his seat from the sound of it and said, that's my seat or something to that effect. And that other student. reportedly turned around and stabbed him in the heart. This kid who got killed was 17. He had a 4.0. He was a football star. Sorry. And he was dead. It seems very soon thereafter.

But here's the thing that most men I follow on Twitter are responding to on X. They're offended that a wife would post a diss video about her husband on the Internet in any way, shape or form.

It reminds me of, not your particular example, but you know, remember the Joy Luck Club? The Joy Luck Club, where one of the four women, it's all about these four moms and then their next gen coming up and the lives that all eight women are leading.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And the one daughter of the mom is in a marriage where the guy like makes her write down if she ate the tub of ice cream that was in the freezer, because it's going to come off of her share of the grocery money. You know, she ate the ice cream and that's $4 that she now owes. It was so, I mean, it's abusive really is what it is. It's abusive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But I do think there's something happening with men and women in, you know, on the conservative side of the aisle that's a little upsetting to me right now. And that is like, as, as we have bent over backwards,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
as conservatives or, you know, right-leaning people to make clear to women that they don't have to quote, have it all that like, if they don't want to work outside of the home and they want to be stay-at-home wives or stay-at-home moms to like doing it all, that's a totally amazing choice and no one should look down on it. It's the most important job in the world.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
It's literally the most important job of the world to be, to be a mother and to raise good children. Um, But like so many things we overcorrect, we do it on the right, the left does it too. And what's happening right now on the right to some extent is it's morphing into, and there's something wrong with somebody who works and the women who work are less attractive and not good partners.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
And also if you choose to work, in like your 20s and your 30s and spend a lot of time at the office, you're effing up your whole life. You're not going to meet a man and you're not going to have a kid, even though that's not necessarily true. It's much easier to meet somebody and have a baby in your 20s because you're young and you got your totally golden eggs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But so many women have kids in their 30s, I mean, without fertility help. And we've just sort of gotten to this place on the right where the messaging to me is like, it's making me really uncomfortable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
But here's what's happening on the right. Young women, and I talk to young conservative women all the time about their lives and their goals and the things that they want. And what's happening is they can't find men who are maybe more conservative. Usually they're looking for somebody who is religious. A lot of conservative women tend to be God-loving conservatives. And

His twin brother held him as he died and was barely able to speak about it. And The father, who seems like an extraordinary man, Michael, comes out and speaks to the cameras about what happened to his son. Here's a bit of Austin's dad. Take a listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
They can't find a lot of young men who want to marry a working woman now. And this is an actual pattern that's coming up on the right. And to me, it's so sad because it's like, how did we get to the point where we're now telling young, conservative, amazing women that they're not attractive if they also work?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
If they choose to, let's say, do what I'm doing and what you're doing and like get their voice out there. But I'll stick with me just because I think conservatives listening to this will like the thought of another Megyn Kelly voice up and coming. well, why wouldn't we want that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Why would we take somebody who's talented in this field and really wants to make a difference and have the messaging to her be, you're really not that valuable unless you give it up and go into the home and only have a family and only raise a family. And not only were you sending her that message, but young men are actually believing that. They're actually believing it, especially on the right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
because like the trad mom has gotten so popular and it's like, no, if we do that, we're not going to have any strong conservative or right-leaning women to provide a role model for younger conservative women who, and there's nothing to apologize for here, don't necessarily want to spend all their twenties and their thirties getting married and having kids or can't, they just weren't able to meet somebody and definitely don't need to be shamed over it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Well, thank you for that. I think they'd be fine. But I do think that there's a strain, especially of young women who appreciate seeing a strong conservative woman who's had a voice in this lane and also had a family. You know, like I know now you get shame for saying that you can have it all, but you can. I'm sorry. I'll never say anything different. You can. Yeah. Yes, there are risks. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
You know, if you, if what's most important to you is to have children and also ideally to be with them, even in your golden years. And sadly, you know, I mean, I had mine when I was older. So that, that clips the time that you'll be old with them and ideally grandchildren in your life, but just didn't work out for me that way. I met my husband, I was 35, but anyway.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
So if you really want to have kids when you're very young, yes, you may have to table career opportunities for a while, but In my case, I just feel like it worked out wonderfully. And all I want people to know is this too is a potential option for you. I do believe if you want it badly enough, you will make it happen. You will make your career happen. You will make your amazing marriage happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
You will make your great kids happen too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Totally. I agree with everything you just said. And I just, my only point is like, don't forget that it's also possible to potentially have it all. I mean, I'm living proof of it. And yes, people say you have money. You're right. That's made it a lot easier. How did I get the money? I earned it. I earned every nickel of it myself. And how did I do that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
I busted my ass when I was in my twenties and thirties and built a name and a career for myself. I'm sorry, but like, I find it very disempowering to just tell all these women, like, you're really going to have to choose. Look, the reality is if what's your number one thing is to have kids, having them earlier is better because fertility issues would or could kick in later in your thirties.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Sometimes women don't meet people early enough. I've had so many young girls say to me, and my viewers will email me and say, I would love to have gotten married before now. I didn't meet anybody. So I feel like conservative men need to stop shaming them because so many of them are trying and just aren't able to. But I will say this.

The tweet that I sent out about you can make your own fortune, you can get your own swanky New York City apartment and also find somebody who wants to be with you on Valentine's Day and have children with you and stay with you was in response to Ashley St. Clair, the Elon alleged baby mama. That was about her because that to me is not an okay choice.

But then you may not play the victim when he doesn't turn out to be Prince Charming on Valentine's Day wanting to spend his day with you. Shock, shock. It's not actually a loving partnership. You know, she clearly wanted to have his child and get on the Elon support program.

Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Her earlier tweets make that clear. So she did it. That's it. She got exactly what she bargained for. And I don't feel sorry for her at all that he doesn't want to be a good boyfriend to her and may or may not be dicking her around. I mean, he's claiming he's not, but whatever. That's my point. Yeah.

What kind of rage and emptiness, I guess, is in the heart of a boy who would stab another young man in the heart for asking for his seat back? I mean, the hair trigger that would be required there, the bundle of anger and just... Lack of any engagement in society, any commitment to the social contract by which we all live. Right. This is just so beyond the pale, like murders happen.

And we understand that's a part of life. Unfortunately, people have vendettas against one another. There are serial killers out there. People get angry and overreact. But usually, usually, Michael, you can see the circumstances. You're not justifying it, but you understand, okay, it was manslaughter. It was the heat of passion. Or it was some gang hit. Or it was a mob hit.

Or it was just some sort of long vendetta between the two. Or it was a cheating spouse. There's something where you don't accept, but you can at least understand.

And with April 15th fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting is not an option. April 15th could mark another tax year that has passed you by.

April 15th, just around the corner. Act now before the IRS acts first. There's been a lot of this in the news lately, and so I decided to save this segment for you. And I know we're going to get to Hack Madness, your own special version of March Madness, in a minute. But to put us in the mood, this is the appetizer to Hack Madness, I have my own little game for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And this is more in the field of the Academy Awards. And I really would love for you guys to weigh in on who you think, who you think is, in fact, the best actress in America. America today outside of Hollywood. Okay. And I have got a couple of contenders for you. All right. I've narrowed it down to four.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And I'm going to show you how these people normally sound and then how they sound when they get in front of certain audiences and certain cameras.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I see what's happening here. Who wore it best? Who fooled you? Who's phoning it in and who's really going method? Okay? In... Fourth place, not necessarily fourth place. This is just, I'm going to start with as the fourth possibility, but I've got four total and you'll decide what order they go in. I'm going to kick it off with. AOC, okay? Her real name is Sandy Ocasio.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
This is what she went by her entire life, Sandy Ocasio. And only when she decided to run for office did she decide to suddenly become Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and lean into her Puerto Rican history, where her mother was born in Puerto Rico, but her father was born in New York City.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And she decided to tell us sob stories about how she's from a poor family and she was living, you know, paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, she was raised in a tony part of Westchester called Yorktown Heights. The single family home she grew up in was just sold in 2016 for $355,000. So it's not exactly, you know, food stamp central. Yeah. She went to Boston University.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
They clearly did not mean it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
To hear her tell her story, you'd think she never went to college, right? She was only a bartender. No, she went to Boston University and graduated with a BA in international relations and economics, and then spent some time as a waitress and a bartender. Good for you. Virtually everyone in America did too. I mean, literally raise your hand if you had a service personnel job. Oh my God. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Right. All of us, all five of us. Hello. The difference is we don't run around asking for people to pat us on the back because we did it. It's called being a normal human. When you're young, you take those kinds of jobs. And even when you're older, sometimes you do to pay your bills. This is called being a normal human, not a oh, woe is me. I worked as a waitress.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And I'll get to some of what she's saying around that. But that's her story. Now she makes almost $200,000 a year as a U.S. Congresswoman and is still pretending that she's on her waitress salary. But in any event, here is how she normally sounds when she's speaking and not thinking about who's listening or trying to fool anybody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
They should have taught her at Boston University. It was where there were times she was right. You got to get that subject verb agreement. I know it's tough, Sandy. Work on it. That's her, though, sounding relatively normal relative. Then there's a different version that we've heard a lot more of a lot recently.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
All right. So you got you got that in mind. Are we you're with me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
It is. But we have contenders. All right. Now I'm going to go outside of the political realm for this next one. You'll know her as soon as you see her. I think let's play the normal version of the person who whose name is. Hillary, who grew up in a very nice suburb of Boston, going to some Tony rich school that virtually no one else can afford.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I think her dad is a dentist, but now goes by Hilaria Baldwin. Here she is sounding like her normal self.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
That's the vinegar. OK, so already I'm torn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I like I got to say, just be honest, I'm not sure who I like better on Best Actress. But we've got other contenders. So, you know, keep an open mind. This woman all over the news these days, the new spokesperson for the Democrat Party, and we all hope the future of it. Here is Jasmine Crockett as recently as 2023. Again, sounding like a normal person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Kind of cute, excited, optimistic, normal hair, normal eyelashes, and probably normal nails, though they weren't shown in that clip. Flash forward to today's day and age, and more recently, and we've done a 180.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Y'all about to find out, all right? Do I need to say it again? Because I will. She sounds absolutely nothing like she used to, you guys. Nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Yeah, exactly. Right? We do. We need a whole lot more of her. It's amazing how she's now like street, right? Like, I'm going to whip somebody's head. Okay, sure. We'll look forward to that, Jasmine. Okay. No segment like this would be complete without our fourth candidate. And honestly, she's probably got the inside track, and you'll see why. Here she was sounding normal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Yeah, right? I don't, it's like they want to scalp. And, you know, yesterday, with all due respect to Dave Portnoy, they actually raised Dave Portnoy's name at the White House press briefing. Some reporter was like, well, Dave Portnoy, even Dave Portnoy was laughing about the fact that they took his commentary and elevated it to the presidential level.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Note how she said courage and here where we had ours being used properly. And yet when she ran for president, having been passed the baton by Joe Biden, very, very different sounding. Here it is.

Wait, we're going to come back to Ellaria in one second. But, I mean, I feel like you might be giving short shrift to Jasmine, right? Who's like, the 2023 version is so sweet. You like her. You're like, oh, I see why Houstonians said, yeah, let's send this gal to Congress. Before she was like, bitch, I will cut you.

Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
What happened?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Like, well, what do you have to, I mean, Dave Portnoy's calling for someone to get fired. He wants Mike Walsh to be fired. What are you, like, what, what are we doing? If Dave Portnoy, tells me not to go to a certain place for pizza, I'm very interested. If he has something interesting to say about sports, about which I know nothing, I'm interested.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Yeah, you're right, guys. And Alex totally buys in, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Like, he goes on the late-night shows. He's like, you know, my wife, she's from Spain. She's in the kitchen cooking. She's in the kitchen cooking.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Literally, she grew up in Boston. Wait, what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
She's definitely not from Spain. What are you saying?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Wait, Holmes, who is the other Bostonian? Hilaria?

Alexandria Cortes.

And in so many different flavors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
You know what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
No, but like if you're a Hollywood casting agent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
If you're casting for SNL, you gotta go with Kamala. She can do any bit. We can go Rastafarian. I have no decency, man. We can go Latina. We can go Preacher. We can do the Black Sam. I don't know what she's doing there with her little urban whatever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
His social commentary is fun, but whether someone needs to get fired over Signalgate, I'm out. And I certainly would never be so dumb as to raise that with the White House, which I think Portnoy agrees with me on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
All right. So while we're on the subject of Ilaria, she and Alec have this reality TV show. It must not be doing well because they're clearly now making a point of doing and saying very weird things to try to get into segments like the one that I'm doing right now. And it's working because they're very strange people. And the following clip went everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
We could have raised it earlier in the week, but we saved it for our friends from the variety program. And you will see why. Oh, yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Not the love of her life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
There's a lot going on there. Is dong an appropriate word for the fellow down south in Rio? I thought that was much more of a dated reference from like 16 Candles. Dong? Is that still in the vernacular?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
But in general, you're telling me it's still in favor. This is good to know. How about the personality? He referred to it as the personality. He turned around with his personality out. Is that that's got to be a new one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
That was that was something that was that makes it sound like there's somewhat of a skin problem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I'm sorry. What was the last thing? Oh, the baseball bat. The baseball bat. Because it really hurt Alec. I think that's why that came to mind. It really hurt him. Yeah, you don't want to think about stuff like that. Has anybody, has anyone given a moment's thought to those that came before them with their spouse? I don't, I'm not sure this is, maybe it's just because you haven't seen them naked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I don't know what's going on in that strange relationship, but I do know they're actively seeking attention because they need ratings on their show. Okay, I feel like I would be remiss if I did not mention, as we're talking about people who have changed themselves dramatically, in mentioning a Republican controversy today that involves Kristi Noem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
So Kristi Noem is our Department of Homeland Security head, as you know. She was a controversial pick. The reason she wasn't chosen for vice president was probably that ridiculous memoir she wrote confessing to killing her puppy, Cricket, who she shot in the face for no reason right after, before she killed their goat. And I don't know, like a set of horses. No, not really.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
No horses died, just the puppy and the family goat. And then the daughter got off the bus and was like, where's Cricket? Anyway, there was that. Yeah. There was an alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski, which was reported by the Daily Mail, which we talked about in the show. She got probably downgraded off of VP and she got made DHS.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And I said to this audience, well, I will be rooting for her because that is a very big job. And What we've seen so far is a lot of photo ops. Okay. She went on, was it Fox news wearing her like FBI DHS jacket? Like she just finished a field operation while she was actually doing the arrests. Like that's cosplaying. All right. We'll show you that picture when we get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Then we saw her out there rounding up illegals on her horse with her cowboy hat, which I said, all right, I'm going to have to give her a pass on that because she actually was raised on a ranch in South Dakota. That's not necessarily cosplaying, right? Like that could. But it was obviously a curated photo op that she put together to make sure she look and all this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
She's got false eyelashes, heavy eyeliner. the big lips with all the gloss, the heavy blush, you know, she's camera ready. Like I would be for doing a television hit, but maybe not while I was riding the horses and like capturing illegals. And then she went next level last night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
By the way, this is after she got in trouble for like being a spokesperson for a dental office when she was still the governor of South Dakota and showing off her fake veneers, which she's really proud of. Like she's very obsessed with the new look, which is dramatically different than the old look. And then we see her last night dropping this video from that El Salvadorian prison. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Okay. Standing behind her in a cage are dozens of shirtless prisoners in the El Salvadorian jail looking... kind of scared, confused. They're being used as props for her photo op in her skin-tight shirt with her hair perfectly curled and coiffed, and again the makeup, as she tries to sound tough with these prisoners behind her as her background, as like truly her human props in her photo.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And I'm telling you, you guys, it's fucked up. I have no empathy for Venezuelan gang members who wound up in an El Salvadorian jail. But this is messed up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I mean, truly, to use them in this way as her backdrop to show us how cool she is and how tough she is, is gross and utterly unhelpful to those of us who have been out there arguing that Trump is within his rights to round up these eagle eagles in America and send them there with very limited due process. Utterly unhelpful. So, any thoughts on that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I don't remember another DHS secretary showing up for TV hits like this. Hold on, we'll put it on the board. Like trying to look like, look at her, with the long dangling earrings and the hat and like the jacket.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
this is the whole thing feels like an act and I'm all for women taking over these powerful, tough, important positions, but I'm embarrassed for how she's presenting herself while doing it. Like maybe it's time. And as you know, like I look, I'm not really in a position to cast stones here from my made up face at my desk, but I can guarantee you that if I became
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Secretary of Homeland Security, I would not be laying on the lip gloss, the lashes, and the blush before I started talking about illegals I made sure wound up in El Salvador. Or cosplaying up with my DHS wear before I went on Fox News. This is a deeply insecure person. And I'm sorry, but it doesn't. Who are we if we only have honest talk for the left?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
This is honest talk from someone who's a Trump supporter that he needs to rein her in because she's becoming an embarrassment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
I take your point. I see that. Now, actually, I in her defense, when she put that out last night, it's getting way more likes than it is getting criticism. And most of the people criticizing it are like on the left and against this policy to begin with. So I think I'm in a unique spot because I actually support this policy and I want more illegal gang members deported to El Salvador. However.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
the way to convince Judge Boasberg, who will be the ultimate trier of fact on this, that we're not winning this fight right now, we just lost to the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court may not take it immediately. So Judge Boasberg is in control at the moment, is really not to give him more reasons to suspect what kind of treatment they're gonna have down in El Salvador.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And to take them and make them look like little lab rats behind prison bars looking dazed and confused and shirtless as she stands there totally glammed to the nines is a bad fucking move. I can say this as a lawyer. This is not what you'd want introduced into the record, Christy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And what should have been done, Duncan, to your point on deterrence, is let's stick with the video we have that's already out there. of the prisoners being processed. It's bad enough, frankly, of them bent over and being like, you know, put assembly line as they get checked out and yeah. And put into the prison. Like I'm not really that comfortable with that, but it's fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Like these are gang members. These are fucking people who killed Americans. So, you know, cry me a river, some of them. But there is a debate about who got in there that shouldn't have. There were two mistakes made. A woman got in and she was sent back home. A guy from Nicaragua who clearly is not a Venezuelan gang member got in and he was sent back home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Anyway, I'm just saying right now we're debating over how much due process they should get while we figure out whether they really are Tren de Aragua and whether we should have shipped them to this prison. And Shots of them looking, maybe it's for the camera, but like scared and disoriented and a little shell-shocked aren't helpful. Okay. That's my take on the matter. Feel free to disagree.

Is this or is this not MS-13? They're trying, but that won't do it because that's good news for the Trump administration. And the left-wing media that's driving this story won't go along with it. But what's been remarkable to me, because if you search all the news sites, and obviously that's my job, they're all still on it. Everyone.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
It's funny because I'm really against these people. And I trust in Tom Homan's ability to figure out whether they're Venezuelan gang members. I really do. He is not running around willy-nilly just picking random Hispanics as the left would have you believe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
But... It's, it's another thing to put that on display and ask Americans to be like, all right, sure. I'm fine with zero due process before we do that. Right. Like, cause that's really what Trump is asking for under the alien enemies act.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
And look, I've defended it, defended it repeatedly on the show, but I just feel like I don't, maybe it's a woman thing, you know, maybe I'm too soft, but I, for me, that was too much. It was like, You look like you're on the backs of people who are in a lot of trouble. We understand that. And most of us are okay with them having to sort that out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
But you look like you're trying to make it into a photo op about you looking tough as opposed to a serious and sober legal issue that we're really... regretful we have to deal with, but we do have to deal with things to Joe Biden. And you should not look like this is a fun thing for you to do. And you're going to wear your skin tight shirt and go down there and try to look hot and threatening.

I just, it's to me is a big turnoff. Okay. Sorry. So last word, but I appreciate the disagreement and keep them coming. All right. Stand by quick break more after this.

That's why Burna is the choice for so many. Burna is a game-changing, less lethal self-defense tool. It's compact, powerful, and easy to use, and it provides the confidence to act in any situation. Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance.

And by the way, with this projectile, you don't actually have to necessarily hit the target in order to incapacitate him. As long as you're close, the fumes from this thing can potentially be incapacitating. And the best part is Burna can be shipped directly to your door and it's legal in all 50 states. Burna is proudly American with products hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Like they're starting to read much more like the dispatch and they should watch it. I love those guys, but they need to rein that in a bit because it's all Trump bashing. But my takeaway is, The people who wanted, and it's in particular about Hegseth, Hegseth to have nothing to do with the Pentagon, and we're totally against his elevation to that post, are the loudest critics in this scandal.

They think there's blood in the water. They're trying to change the conversation from Mike Walz to Pete Hegseth. even though, and I don't think either one should be fired, but even though it was Mike Walsh who added this Jeffrey Goldberg to the Atlanta, Pete Hexeth didn't do that. Pete Hexeth trusted the national security advisor that this was an appropriate place to have this conversation.

Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Yep, 100%. And so now you've got Jeffrey Goldberg moving into saintly status of the Atlantic, this complete left-wing hack who has never seen Republican catnip that he hasn't sniffed and rolled around in and peddled to his viewers as real, right? From Russiagate to the fawning piece he did on Mark Milley for holding the line against this dictatorial Trump.

Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
The guy who was going to tell the Chinese if we were going to unleash an attack on them, which, by the way, no one was even planning. Only Mark Milley's head was Trump going to go attack the Chinese. We didn't attack the Chinese. Trump didn't give the order to go attack the Chinese.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
But Mark Milley decided to take it upon himself to, in a treasonous communication, tell his counterpart in China, if we are going to drop any bombs on you, I will give you the heads up. That's crazy. Totally, I mean, insubordinate is an understatement, but he's a patriot in the eyes of the Atlantic. Okay, so Jeffrey Goldberg goes out there like, I'm the dignified one here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
OK, they added me because I'm important. Obviously, I'm in everybody's phone, not mine. Mike Walsh is even saying not in his. Now, I have to say, to be honest, that sounds like bullshit to me. He does. I mean, I don't know how he'd get added from Mike Walsh's phone if he weren't in their walls in a very awkward exchange with Laura Ingram.

seem to be trying to say, it'd be like, if I texted you something homes and said, um, Hey, you know, great having you on the show today, Doug, my husband wanted to send you something. And like, I CC Doug on the communication, you know, like I added him in. So you didn't have Doug in the community in, in your contacts, but like sometimes your phone would recognize, Oh, This is Doug, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Like it might say at a future point, if you're searching for a Doug, it might pull that up because there is some AI on your phone that does that for you. He seemed to be suggesting Goldberg was part of a different conversation he had with somebody. And that's somehow I have no idea. OK, yeah, that's my main point. All these thoughts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
So Goldberg goes out there and he's like, I didn't I didn't want to do any of it. I'm so sad that they're making me do this. But I feel, you know, an obligation to tell you how insecure, unsecure these comms are and that I had war plans. And he went all over the news media on Tuesday saying nothing. I'm not going to release the stuff they texted about the war plans because it's too incendiary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
It's going to compromise our military. So that I won't do. And here's a little bit of how he sounded on Tuesday. Watch, saw two.

White House press secretary has said you're lying. So there are no war plans there. I've said there's no classified information. So the obvious question is, shouldn't you now demonstrate it? Shouldn't you publish the text? No, because they're wrong.

Speaking of hacks, it's hack madness. What do I mean? Well, what media hacks are performing well in their ruthless brackets... There's only one group of fellas that have the answer to that.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
Sticking to his principles. Okay. So just for the record, that was him and the messaging up and down television on Tuesday. For whatever it's worth, this is what I said on Tuesday. By the way, I think we're T minus like 72 hours before Jeffrey Goldberg releases it anyway with maybe a couple of things redacted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036
But I don't think he's going to stay in this like, I'm above it all and I won't release it. He just, I don't think he can help himself. And I was 100% right, except for the redacting part. 24 hours later. Yeah, except for the redacting. So he releases it all. Virtually 99.99% has been released. I think he withheld the one name of the one guy. But the whole, all the, it wouldn't be responsible.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Absurd Signalgate Spin, NPR Exec Grilled, and Biggest Media Hacks in America, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 1036

So it's one thing to have Jill Biden show up, but it's totally different to have Elon Musk show up and try to be accountable to the press and the cabinet. That is a bridge too far. They are out of line in having Elon there, and you need look no further than today's headlines to figure that out. CNN. Trump's cabinet meeting serves as a backdrop to Musk's power. It's just a backdrop.

And then the whistleblower says to Rufo, I know several people at the agency brought up, hey, we're here to fight for the USA and go after adversaries. And they just got hammered.

You can't have an unbiased mind if you're writing a report and you're constantly focused on how does this apply to gender ideology? Because when you do that, it's going to get people killed in the field. That's a good point.

Trump was like a supporting cast member. New York Times, Musk's cabinet cameo, the elephant in the room wore black. The Guardian, Trump cabinet flunkies hail wannabe Caesar and Elon, his oligarch pal. And let's just give you a little contrast. When Jill Biden attended a cabinet meeting in September. This just passed September 2024. It was Biden's first in 11 months.

Well, here's a very insightful look at why Trump and Elon are actually taking a hard look at all these government agencies from, yes, the NSA and the intel agencies to USAID to try to figure out who's not doing what they're supposed to be doing and where can we find efficiencies. And in coordination with people like Tulsi, like Pete, like all the agency heads to figure out

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
So Jeff Bezos, I find this interesting. Of course, the Washington Post is hard left now and has been for some time since the first Trump presidency, at least. And he's owned it for almost all of that time. And now he shows up at the inauguration. He, like the other tech titans, made a big donation to the Trump inauguration fund.

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
He's got his half-dressed fiance there, two steps from the president as he takes the oath of office, because now he wants to be near power. He wants to curry favor with the sitting president. So he both gave money and paraded a naked woman in front of President Trump. And now the third move is he's changing the editorial policy on the Washington Post opinion page.

He writes this long message on X, which reads in part as follows. We are going to be writing every day in support of and in defense of two pillars, personal liberties. My interpretation of that is the Bill of Rights and free markets, free markets, meaning capitalism and not government control of everything in our economy.

We will cover other topics, too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the Internet does that job.

But where the hell was this Jeff Bezos for the past 10 years? His paper has been taken over by a bunch of communists, lunatics. And let me just give you one other piece. They still employ Karen Atiyah. who is a Washington Post columnist, who the day after 10-7 and the attack on Israel, liked a post that said, this is what decolonization looks like. What did y'all think we meant by decolonization?

too bad about the dead babies burned in their cribs. Sorry, that's what we meant. And if you didn't get it, you're too stupid to know that. And Karen Atiyah, not for nothing, but she showed up at a book event just the other day in, I don't know where the town was. I think it was in Washington. Yeah, it was in Washington, D.C. And this woman got on her grill about that tweet and the like.

The White House announced this week that they are going to decide who's in the White House press pool. not the press. Now, the press pool for those listening at home is a group of representatives from television, radio, yes, now streaming and print reporters, usually a wire service like AP Reuters. And it's a small group of representatives from each one of those groups.

realms of media that gets to follow the president around at all times in the more not in like the residence of the White House, but like in the more intimate spaces like the Oval or on the trips, something you're not going to take everybody who's in that press briefing room with you when you're the president United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
But pool, if you're part of pool, you get to go and it is your responsibility to report everything he does back to all the other media and the public. And the pool reporting job is very important. It's you know, the pool was is the reason we saw Ronald Reagan get shot. They were covering Ronald Reagan.

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I mean, he wasn't doing anything extraordinary that day, but pool was there because they always have eyes on the president. Pool was there covering even, you know, President Trump when he got shot before he actually got reelected in Butler, Pennsylvania. Pool has to be there. And as a. former reporter at Fox News. And I did White House duty when I was in my very young years there, here and there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
Pool is like a serious responsibility. You can't fuck up pool. Like you really do have to get it right. And typically the media will decide who can do pool because it's very expensive and everybody understands it's important that you get somebody in there who's really going to tell you what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
So I will say for the record, I don't know how I feel about the White House saying we're not now going to decide who's in pool. It's not the same as saying we're going to bring in new voices to the press briefing room. I love all that. But I actually happen to believe the media should decide who's in pool because it's a matter of resources. It's just the TV lane alone.

There's the revolt over Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos putting his stamp on the outlet's opinion page.

And they seem to be saying TV will not change. TV will decide who's doing TV. But the number of wires you've got to get in there to get the cameras ready, getting an experienced photog in there to make sure he gets moments like, God forbid, there's a presidential assassination attempt. You can't fuck around with that. You need true pros who have got a lot of experience.

you know, setting up a shot, being ready for breaking news. I speak only from the TV realm because that's the one I know. I got questions about this before I really endorse it or criticize it, but... The media's in a full-on meltdown over it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And what they're upset about is that they, the vaunted media, are starting to lose more and more control about how Trump gets covered and in what way he gets covered. And the more I've been looking at the people objecting, the more I've been recoiling. Because the absurdity of some of these people trying to say, like, we, we are the vaunted media who cannot, you know, be told what to do.

The head... of the white house correspondence association is a guy named Eugene Daniels. He worked for Politico up until like yesterday, Politico. Now he's leaving to go to MSNBC. Okay. This guy, we just pulled his social media. He is all over his social media in dresses, trying to look like Beyonce. This is a former college football player. Look at this guy.

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
This is the one who's now our press representative at the White House. Look, look at this. For the listening audience, he's wearing a Beyonce blonde wig with his very large body, sticking his ass out, trying to look sexy, half man, half woman. This, okay. And it's also the same guy who accused Brian Kilmeade of racism when he was talking about Kamala Harris going back to her college sorority.

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And this guy said, Brian said, colored sorority. and ran with that breathlessly to the press trying to embarrass Brian Kilmeade. Meanwhile, what an absurd thing for Brian Kilmeade to be accused of. He's been on the air for how many years? He doesn't talk like that. We all know that. And even this guy was forced to dial it back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
But what do you make of what's happening now as the press and press pool tries to pretend they cannot be messed with? They're above it all. All we need to do is respect and honor them.

Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
The other thing about this that makes me somewhat uncomfortable, and I'm all for pushing back on left-wing bias. I don't have to prove that to anybody, but I do think the independence of the press is important. I realize the press has lost its mind, but it's written right into the Bill of Rights. Free press is one of our most fundamental values.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the White House saying, this is who will cover me. This is who I will allow to cover me at all. It's one thing to say to the AP, F you, you've lost your right to be in these intimate spaces. Right. But there is a difference in saying we will decide, not you members of the press, who gets to come into every space and ask questions of the president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I mean, we could be in a Democrat administration next where they're like nobody other than MSNBC and, you know, the AP can have access and ask questions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And it's always in there. Fox is always looking at the situation. This White House is not they haven't thrown out all left wing media. It's almost still the pool that they want. Dominant left wing media. I'm just saying the principle of it. If we're going to discuss the principle of it, we're on dangerous ground here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I never did pool, but I did White House reporting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I agree with that, but that's different. That's different. President Trump is more accessible to the press than any president I've ever seen. I mean, every day he sits down and gives an hour long Q&A session. So help me understand, what's the worry? What's the worry? Well, let's just say, I mean, pick some random blogger in your head.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I don't want to insult anybody by naming a name, but just pick some random successful online substack reporter or podcast host who's pooled that day and is supposed to be reporting on the president's agenda or in his whereabouts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And let's say some major breaking news happens and that person happens to have a more partisan agenda, which is fine in our daily media, but you know, a somewhat risky for pool. Like I certainly wouldn't want to receive a report that is openly partisan. It's bad enough when I have to receive one that's subtly partisan from the AP. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And so I, as a reporter who wants straight facts, would be like, okay, I don't really want a political pundit, somebody who's in the business of spinning in their running pool for me. I really don't. And I realize now we're talking fine lines here because the AP is in the business of spinning. So that's why we need a variety.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
But I'm saying that there are responsibilities when you're like the sole pool reporter. Like at times there's one pool reporter who we depend on to tell us what happened to the president. Like what happened? Who shot him? Who did?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And I do think there needs to be a basic minimum standard of having had experience covering the president, having covered the White House, coming from an institution that can cover the costs. By the way, you can't be in pool unless you can cover your own costs, which can be over $100,000 a year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
Why should they get to choose as opposed to the press?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
I agree. I agree. But it's not for the president to decide who gets to cover him. We will cover him because we are the press. But who's we?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
So I don't understand- Because it's the White House Press Association. It's the Correspondents Association. Why, like, it's one thing, everybody, look, and I have no problem with him throwing out the AP, but it's different when the president is saying, I get to choose who's going to cover me. I'll choose the whole list. Once you say you can do that, then he can say only Fox and Newsmax. He could.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
If we're saying that's an OK thing to do, he could say that. And then the next president could say only MSNBC and NBC or AP. I don't I think when it gets to who goes into that pool and who is responsible for the full time coverage of the press or the president whenever and whenever he's in the public, it should be up to the press who's on that duty.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
Well, in this situation, it's the White House Correspondents Association.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
Well, I mean, are you, like Fox News is in it. Jackie Henrich has been out there all week saying this is not a good idea. This is not, you don't understand what goes in a pool. I mean, do you know what goes in a pool? I'm not saying there aren't good people. Most people have no idea.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And I think Trump wants her to add to it. Then that's fine. Then you add two more seats and pull. Maybe you have like seven representatives normally. Now you have nine. But I just think there's a lot that goes into following the president of the United States around all day, every day on foreign trips and so on. And I really think there's something to both a having.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
People do it from institutions that completely have it down. You don't know how many meetings go down. I've been in them at Fox on the number of things you have to have in line to make sure you miss nothing. The tech support you have to do to make sure that you have the cameras in place and so on. That's one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking NSA Chat Logs, Bezos Causes New WashPost Staff Revolt, and White House vs. Press, with Buck Sexton | Ep. 1015
And as much as we like President Trump, there is a line between the press and the president and he does not control the media.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Well, look, that's where I started. That's why I talk about this guy, Eugene Daniels, like this is what we're dealing with. But realistically, if you saw the way they organize this thing, it takes a lot. And you cannot take an organization that doesn't have a lot of resources or experience and make them the ones we're dependent on.

Yeah, well, listen, I think my audience knows I'm not a knee-jerk defender of the press. But I'm not a knee-jerk defender of the president either. And there is an important role for an independent press in this country. That's why it's in the First Amendment. And there are limits to the controls that can be placed on them.

And so while I think it's a great idea to expand access and make sure we get new voices in there, I don't think the president is in a position to tell us who gets to cover him the entirety of the list, which is the difference between saying AP, you're out and saying we determine all of who is in. To me, there's a difference there. All right.

I want to continue it down this line, and we'll talk more about what happened at the cabinet meeting, but just as an offshoot to Doge and what Elon's doing, one of the agencies he's been looking at, obviously, is USAID, this agency that we use to funnel all sorts of foreign aid to God knows whom.

That's really what we're finding out, these pet causes of the Democrats that have been getting slush funded for years. And there was a hearing on this yesterday on Capitol Hill, Buck, and listen to this exchange. You've got Representative Tim Burchett, Republican of Tennessee, questioning now former USAID executives on where the money was going. Listen to this.

Like this person thinks that they're in the cabinet and they're not actually in the cabinet and how dare they do that. It's very upsetting and it's totally inappropriate unless your name is Jill Biden. in which case it's very laudable and good for her, or we didn't even notice it.

Why am I funding through through this group Hamas's murder of Israeli babies? I object. I'm funding the murder of the Bebis boys. F you, anybody who supports this organization at this point.

They don't have their moral head on straight. This is outrageous. The entire country should be up in arms that we've been doing this.

The bill defines sex as based on biological sex at birth, not one's feelings about one's so-called gender. It requires federally funded schools to prohibit males from from competing in girls' sports. Every GOP senator is expected to vote yes. The first step, though, is a cloture vote, a vote on whether they should have a vote at all on the actual bill.

I mean, the whole crime took between like 12 and 18 minutes at most. And who was it? Who was it? How, why don't they have a suspect? A lot of pressure on law enforcement. And the suggestion by the defense seems to be the FBI understanding and feeling that pressure. when it should have been limited, we've had CeCe Moore who invented genetic genealogy.

She's the one who came up with this amazing technique, which has solved a lot of crimes that she told me directly, you are only allowed when you're pursuing these leads to access this public database of DNA. So if you go and you, let's say you go to 23andMe or you go to ancestry.com or any of these public companies, and you want to get your genealogy and you give them your DNA,
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
They're not allowed to share that with anybody. But if you say, share with everybody, or if you go upload your DNA on this public database, then that's different. Some people really want it to be everywhere. Some people are looking for their birth mother and their adopters. They want it in as many places as possible. You're using a website, not 23andMe, not Ancestry.com, called GEDmatch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And my understanding is the way you populated this GEDmatch, because you point out you need as many samples on there as possible, is by encouraging people who are into this, who would like to connect with other relatives, to take their 23andMe, their Ancestry.com results, and upload them to GEDmatch to widen the chances that they'll connect with somebody.

The public database is more limited in some ways than those private databases, which are more protected.

The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
The suggestion here seems to be maybe an overzealous FBI crossed those lines and not, I don't know with which company, but crossed those lines in a way that they are not allowed to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Well, let's talk about that because it's very interesting to me to think about if the FBI crossed a line, which is where the defense is driving, they're saying, why wouldn't you just turn over exactly what happened in your genetic genealogy search? There's no reason for us to not know exactly how you got the name Brian Kohlberger or more specifically his dad's name. And they won't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
They have been fighting this at every step of the way. It's very weird. If they didn't do anything wrong, why would just show it? Just turn it over. But they've been they asked Judge Judge. They've been asking. And now they ask the new judge like they've been trying at every turn to try to get this info over the FBI. Well, now the prosecution's objections because the argument will be.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
We used to have this in law school. If you obtain evidence through an illegal search, you can't use it as the prosecutor. It's barred. You can't violate the Constitution and just go into somebody's house and search for the murder weapon without having a search warrant. That's because people have constitutional rights to privacy, etc. Your Fourth Amendment rights.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
But there's an exception to this rule, which is if you can prove, it's called inevitable discovery, that we inevitably would have discovered this person anyway, then you can get past having your case thrown out and the evidence you're trying to get in, you can potentially get it in as well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And this is why, for example, Matt Murphy, who's a 27-year prosecutor in the state of California, we've had him on the show a bunch of times, I asked him about this when you broke the news, Howard, about this is where the defense is going. This is why Matt Murphy does not think this will be an issue for team prosecution. Even if the FBI crossed lines, I'm going to run the soundbite standby.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Here it is. So you're saying even if they detected Brian Kohlberger's dad by doing something untoward, by maybe accessing some database they shouldn't have, the feds and so on, that you still like the prosecution's chances because they were driving at Brian Kohlberger through more than just the DNA on the knife sheath. And he would have been inevitably discovered.

Oh, very. Well, I'm trying to think what role a confidential source could have in this case. How could one be even tangentially connected to this case? And all I could think is that there is a potential defense line of argument that this house was allegedly somehow connected to drugs or drug dealers. And maybe there's a witness who's going to say that.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I don't think that will make it in front of a jury. I think that's the kind of thing you make in a written motion to the judge to exclude the DNA as a matter of law from coming in. And I think the judge is going to overrule that he's going to reject that motion for the reasons Matt Murphy said. And then if they say, well, we want to at least argue it to the jury.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I'm not sure it's relevant because they did an actual cheek swab of him. I mean, maybe you could argue it's relevant if you want to show this is a bumbling FBI that has a pattern of crossing lines. I don't I haven't heard anything else that would support that. So I don't think a judge would allow that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
But right now, I think it's just it's interesting as a matter of law for a motion, not something you could get in front of a jury.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Do we know anything I said before that we think that the knife sheath is the only DNA? But do we know that? I mean, they did a lot of searching of his apartment, of his car, of the bodies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Right, just to muck it up a little bit for the jury so it's not so clear-cut. Found a knife sheath. The DNA matches this guy right now because we did a cheek swab and it was a perfect match. They'd like to skip whatever happened in the interim.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And I predict this one will probably be pushed, too. But now we have a new judge. Judge Judge is gone. And Judge Hippner, I think, is in. Hippler. Hippler. Hippler. It's like very close to the other name that sounds just like that, I've got to say. And so where do things stand? How do you like where the defense is at this point so close now to potential trial?
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Add that to the confidential witnesses. It's right in which we don't know. But this whole thing that we're discussing about the genetic genealogy took a turn for the better for the defense with this change of venue. How so?
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Judge wanted. I mean, we had Judge Judge. We have Ann Taylor, defense lawyer. And now we have Judge Hippler again. It just, it reminds me of my friend. Her last name was Laden. She had a baby boy. She named him Quinn, Quinn Laden. That's no, just don't, you don't want to come anywhere near it. Stay away. Change it to hip nerve. That's my advice to this judge. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
So anyway, so now we're going to go ahead and Boise, uh, supposedly on August 11th and there just was a motion, uh, That and I think it's granted that Brian Kohlberger in all the pretrial appearances and at the trial will be allowed to appear in a suit. They're not going to make him wear his prison clothes. And we recently got another look at him because he had to have another mugshot taken.

It's just like Menendez, really. We've been covering that case, too, with Leslie Abramson and Eric Menendez. She would do that with the arm around him. Poor Eric is this poor kid who was abused, trying to telegraph to the jury, this guy deserves your sympathy, not your condemnation. I'm not sure that's going to fly here. He does have a family, though.

It just occurred to me something, Howard.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Yeah, well, I just feel like it's probably not her. But the reason I thought of it is, of course, she has access to a bunch of people getting advanced degrees and degrees in criminology. And as we've seen there, this isn't the first time this has happened there. There can be a fine line between criminologist and criminal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility to think maybe someone like the feds or law enforcement would go to somebody like that pre Brian Kohlberger and say, let us know if anybody comes across your radar who you've got concerns about. And it could just be something where now they're protecting her. This is total speculation by me is probably more than likely.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I don't, I mean, I guess so. It's just very hard to respond to irrational behavior with a rational explanation. I know juries would want it, but it's like, look at what Jeffrey Dahmer did. Like it makes no sense to any sane human being. This guy, if he did this crime is a sick puppy. And so it's like, are we ever going to explain this? But yeah, I mean, you've come as close as anybody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I mean, that's why we love reading your work, both your book and your articles for airmail. Thank you. Just spin a theory that really draws you in. It makes a lot of sense. I mean, that just he was on the outside looking in at these amazingly beautiful women living this life he would never live. And he was a tortured soul. This we know about the guy, whether he committed the murder or not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
He was a tortured soul.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
If he hadn't left behind that knife sheath, this would be a very different case. It would be so hard because we've never found a murder weapon. All they would have would have been the car evidence. And as you point out, if it's really only going to show that his car came within 13 miles of the murder home, that's not going to get it done. It's that knife sheath.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
and the reports that he bought this K-bar knife, a K-bar knife, online on Amazon, what, two months before. Those are the two best pieces of evidence.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I missed the other great piece of evidence against him. And that is the fact that he was stuffing his trash into little baggies to dispose of at the neighbor's house the night the FBI and the local law enforcement came into his house in the Poconos to arrest him. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
So because the prosecution is going to say he ordered the knife, the K-bar knife in the sheath two months earlier on Amazon, whatever the date was, it wasn't that long in advance. He ordered a workman's suit, which is also in the news. He got like a full body worker suit and neither the murder weapon nor that suit have ever been found, not in Brian's apartment, not at the scene, nowhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Um, but he took a circuitous route from the murder scene back to the university of Idaho is as long, you know, tree covered highway easily could have pulled over and disposed of this stuff someplace in the woods where we could never find. And it, by the way, if, where is the worker suit? If he didn't do any nefarious, anything nefarious in it, why didn't we find it when he searched his apartment?
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Where's the knife? Why wouldn't, why didn't we find that when we searched his apartment? Um, and that's the reason that it wasn't all over him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And I think the prosecution is going to say his DNA was found at the murder scene on the knife sheath, not on a clock radio, not on a shoe, on the button of the knife sheath. And then the defense is going to say, touch DNA. Whereas you point out in your airmail articles that the amount of touch DNA they got is the tiniest, tiniest molecule, like not even a fleck of dust.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I don't know why true crime is a getaway of sorts, but it kind of is. It just takes your mind off of what's going on in your own life, the to-do list that's constantly humming, and lets you focus on something else that's serious that requires attention, and in this case, a bit of a mystery too. There's a lot to dig into with Howard Bloom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And by the way, anyone could have touched that knife sheath in the store from which it came. Exactly. Anybody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Well, and then you've got him. That's why I think it's interesting that he's, I don't know, working on his look. I imagine Ann Taylor is going to have him shave that facial hair growing all over his neck in addition to his face prior to trial and make him clean shaven again. But he'll be sitting there presumably clean shaven.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
I mean, it's hard to say he's an attractive man given what we believe he did. But, you know, objectively speaking, he's not a terrible looking man. And he'll have his nice suit on. I'm sure he'll be... you know, with the arm around him from Ann Taylor and his family right behind him, which they seem like nice people trying to project. I'm an all American boy.

Well, and also you're reporting about, because the jury will likely hear this. This will come in.

I don't think Brian Kohlberger is going to take the stand. And so his side of that story is going to be limited to whatever he wrote in emails in defense of himself to his professors. But I mean, you lay it out how these professors had had enough of Brian Kohlberger and they had actually terminated him from the PhD slash TA program right before the murders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973

They found touch DNA on it, which is legit, but not like the best. And they were able to get a hit in some DNA database that brought up the name Kohlberger, in particular Kohlberger's dad. And they could say this was the DNA of the killer's father. So they're claiming that was when that's what, you know, eventually brought us to Kohlberger. That's sort of where we thought it was.

And I'm sure the families are just absolutely frustrated that, you know, with every passing day, witnesses' memories fade.

Now, that's another piece of this process. It's already inconvenient. They got to travel now to Boise, allegedly to protect his rights because the defense did some survey of the locals in Moscow, Idaho, that allegedly suggested they all knew about the case and they allegedly had biases already. I mean, all of that could have been cleansed on jury selection and with the jury instruction.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Yeah, 100 percent. If there's any good news in this for people like you and me, it's that Judge Judge and kicking it up to Boise said at least they're going to have a bigger courtroom which can handle the amount of interest that there will be in this case, which, you know, I mean, honestly, as members of the media, that's that is good. There will be cameras inside of this courtroom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
It'll be controlled. It'll be one at the back of the courtroom, we're told. But in any event, having access to the actual trial on camera is such a gift. It's definitely going to drive interest in this case. And, you know, in August post the presidential election, I think there's going to be a lot of eyeballs on this.

Let me stop you there so we can walk the audience through what you're saying step by step. That was just a shot from a police body cam of them getting pulled over, which they did, was it three times? Three times, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
Twice, okay. Twice, sorry.

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
No. So they got pulled over when they were driving. This is post the murders. Brian Kohlberger is driving with his dad cross country back from Washington state to the Poconos, Pennsylvania. And they got pulled over not once, but twice and let go, um, with just, you know, a warning to obey the traffic laws.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
And you reported that the FBI was following him, was watching him during this trip that at one point when he left Washington, uh, state, he, they lost him and they had to retrieve him or find him again. Thanks to like the easy pass data that, you know, it can track the cars and they did find him. Yeah. License plate reader. And so your report was very specific.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
It wasn't just like the FBI knew who he was. So it's logical they were following him. You, you were reporting a no, no, they were following and they had a real decision to make about whether to intervene when the local cops with whom they did not coordinate were

So because you say you accurately point out, and I think the audience has a good enough feel to know this, the FBI, you're right, they never give statements. I mean, when does the FBI ever come out and say, we deny we were there? They say nothing. They let us as media people pound sand, do absolutely like twist. They don't need to confirm or deny anything.

It's kind of the way the DOJ operates, same related organization. So on your story, though, and with all due respect to you and airmail, you've owned the story, but like it's not exactly like it was on the cover of The New York Times and they kind of, you know, felt like they had to. they could have blown you off, but they didn't. They come out and they're like, it's not true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
We weren't following him, which in a way is more telling than if they'd said nothing. And so now you go to what is it? Why would they do that? And then we have to go back on the timeline to figure out why they might be feeling squirrely about Howard Bloom's report that they knew Brian Kohlberger was their suspect. And they knew it well before the,

What To Expect From Bryan Kohberger's Defense at Trial in 2025 - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 973
They now say they knew it, which was the end of December. Now they want us to believe they didn't have him until the end of December. But you're reporting they had him much earlier than that, thanks to the genetic genealogy and how they made the ID is where...

I want to just keep this linear line going so people can follow because it's complex. This explains so much because when the case was first unfolding, we were all reading the Howard Bloom updates in airmail like it was your college admissions letter. It was like, you couldn't wait for it to hit. Refresh, refresh. And You reported the genetic genealogy.

We were hearing, yes, they got him thanks to genetic genealogy and DNA. But NBC News had this explosive dateline right around that time in which Steph Gosk, who's a good reporter... reported that, no, they got him. She wasn't disagreeing with anybody specifically, but she was saying, we've got the, how it went down.

They got him thanks to identification of the white Hyundai Elantra that some eagle eyed cop who was at the university of Washington, where he was a TA said, saw that this was the car that they were looking for, and just on his downtime, started searching files and found that they did have somebody at the University of Washington.

And we do believe that this all happened, but what actually led to the identification of Kohlberger and when is what we're trying to get to here. and said, aha, there's one. Let me pull up the description. And there's a guy with bushy eyebrows, which had already been released. So this guy's like, this is great. I'm going to send this in.

So he sends in the tip or contacts somebody, tries to at the FBI to say, I think I might have somebody you should look at, but that they had a big, big stack of white Hyundai Elantra Elantra's and it took them a while to get to it, but then they did get to it and boom, that's how they eventually figured out it's Brian Kohlberger, bushy eyebrows, eagle eyed guy over at university of Washington.

Like other large presidents, Trump has been a communications innovator and exploited technological shifts more effectively than his rivals. In that sense, his use of social media recalls FDR's mastery of radio, JFK's and Ronald Reagan's mastery of television. One more signature shown by the most consequential presidents, uncommon psychological toughness.

Have you ever known someone who is facing legal hurdles? In many cases, even if people ultimately win the case, they end up being consumed and shrunken by the searing nature of the experience.

No one needs to admire the achievement to recognize that Trump is possessed by some rare traits of denial, combativeness, and resilience. And here we go down to the end where he's now quoting a historian. a liberal historian. Quote, great presidents are unifiers mostly in retrospect.

Most great presidents, he later wrote, this liberal scholar, divided the nation before reuniting it on a new level of national understanding. And back to the political commentary. This is the same sentiment uttered by FDR, quoting FDR. All our great presidents were leaders of thought and at a time when certain ideas in the life of our nation had to be clarified.

So, guys, Jim Acosta reportedly losing his key spot in the CNN lineup. I actually have no idea where his spot is, to be perfectly honest. But they are trying to move him to midnight, which they reportedly sold to him by saying it's primetime on the West Coast. And now there are reports that he's getting ready to quit because he is too big to take this kind of demotion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990

You know, they used some guy who was apparently connected with the with Bashar al-Assad and pretended that he was in some prison. That's how it looks for months. And he came out, you know, clean fingernails, clean clothing and did this whole like, oh, oh.
The Megyn Kelly Show

only to have it revealed that he was connected with the very people he claimed were imprisoning him and then wouldn't respond to CNN's calls when it came out that he had given a false name. And we have no idea what CNN sold us. They haven't done a mea culpa. But this is CNN. This is the truth. You can't just pull the wool over somebody's eyes here, sir.

That's probably where you need to, I have more to do on the press when we get to what they're doing to Pete Hegseth in a minute, but I want to start more with what Trump is doing today. Cause it's just such good stuff and we got to get to it. So the, um, executive orders and the crackdown on the border is really where we're going to start. I'm just going to read you a couple. All right. Um,

First, the Lake and Riley Act passed. It passed the House, and then it went to the Senate. They made some modifications and went back to the House last night, and it passed. And it passed with a lot of Democratic support. Of course, there were some 46 or something Democratic lawmakers who wouldn't sign it, so the Democrats are still crazy. There's some portion that's still crazy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
But they passed the Lake and Riley Act, which really says, like, you must detain an illegal person who commits shoplifting or something you consider a lesser crime, never mind the more serious crimes, you may not just return them out into into.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
into society, requires ICE to arrest illegals who commit an offense of theft, burglary, larceny, shoplifting, or of course, something more serious, and mandates that these aliens are detained until they're removed from the United States so they cannot re-offend.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Then on top of that, because keep in mind what happened with Lake and Riley was this criminal in New York City committed a couple of crimes here, including I think shoplifting was one of them, and then got released by New York City, which is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. And then he went down to Georgia and killed Lakin Riley. And if we had just done our job in New York state,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
well, I'm in Connecticut now, but I'm from New York, this guy would have been behind bars or deported, as he should be now under Trump. So they're trying to crack down on this. And then there's a second piece of the Lake and Riley Act that reads as follows.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It enables state attorneys general to file lawsuits against the Homeland Security Secretary if the government fails to enforce immigration laws. This is for the next administration. This is Trump saying, I won't be president forever. And I am empowering Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis and all border state governors to sue the derelict federal government if the next guy refuses to enforce the laws.

And you've got overwhelming Democrat support for this for this policy of deporting, never mind of punishing the criminals who are here and making sure they don't hurt more Americans, but of deporting all illegals, all of them. But before I get to Harry Anton over on CNN talking about that, let me show you AOC's reaction to the Lake and Riley Act.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Okay. She's very worried about the due process rights of illegals accused of murder.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Right. Well, unfortunately, Smug, the Constitution does apply to people who are in the country, whether they're legal or they're illegal. But the point is what Josh just says, which is if you're here and you get arrested, and I don't care what you get arrested for, we find out you're an illegal, you're out. I don't really give a shit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's not about your due process laws on the crime you've been arrested for. It's about your underlying crime of sneaking into the country unlawfully. Get out. That's what we're worried about. It's not like whether you're going to get all your bill of rights once you actually get to trial. It's you're illegal and you got caught.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And right now we're bending over backwards to accommodate you so that you don't have to leave so that you can let your legal rights play out here. Get out. We already established you're an illegal. Go. You're Venezuela's problem now. But here's more.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And we never find them. If they don't show up, we don't we don't look. All right. Here's here's another one. Um, on top of that, which is an actual law, those are the ones we like the best, right? They can't be undone by executive order by the next president. Uh, DOJ released a memo directing federal prosecutors. Now I'm getting into the more executive actions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
DOJ released a memo directing federal prosecutors to investigate and potentially prosecute state and local officials who do not cooperate with immigration orders. So once again, This is a crackdown on sanctuary cities that you could get prosecuted if you are a state or local official who's not complying with an ICE detainer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
You know, there's an ICE detainer on some bad hombre who gets arrested for shoplifting, let's say, in New York City. And he's sitting behind a bar and there's a detainer, which means New York officials are supposed to call ICE and say, hey, we've got this guy you're looking for. And they don't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Instead, they defy that and they let the guy free and he goes down to Georgia and murders a 22-year-old nursing student. So this is saying you local officials who do that, you're going to get your asses prosecuted. It's not just about the act which mandates it with Lake and Riley. We're going to come after you criminally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
All right, let me give you a couple more on the border. The Pentagon announced it will begin deploying as many as 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days. They will join the roughly 2,500 U.S. National Guard and Reserve Forces already there. That makes 4,000 troops along the southern border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Reports out today it could go as high as 10,000 to make sure that they're not sending the military down there in a law enforcement capacity. You're not allowed to use the military like that. They're not going to be shooting illegals. They're just standing there. and they're happy to put the illegals in the truck and drive them back across the border. That they can do. They can't arrest them.

It's like the vigor is back in the White House. Not only did Joe Biden do the shuffle and the falling upstairs, downstairs, across the beach, but like then so sores and J.D. Vance and Trump is like it's just vigor. Vigor has returned. I don't know how Trump does it. He's 78 years old, but you can tell this is like. He truly could run all of us under the table with his energy level.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Remember, there was that huge barrier down there, and Biden went down there and sued him to take it down because they said it was dangerous for the illegals who were trying to swim across the Rio Grande. He lost in court.

The Megyn Kelly Show

Trump's DHS issued this memo immediately rescinding Biden's 2021 through Mayorkas policy, which limited ICE from enforcing our immigration laws if if they found an illegal near a, quote, sensitive area like a school, a church or a health care facility. And Team Trump is saying this. go for it. Go ahead and do it. Those are the most important areas to secure from dangerous illegals.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Why would we give them a free pass so they intentionally go live near a school or a church or one of these healthcare facilities? So that's been revoked. And this is just a little bit of color because there's so much here I'm drinking from the fire hose. But

The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Yeah, and there won't be. There won't be. And by the way, it's sad because Trump's going to do his level best to get as many of these folks out as he can. And I know the administration is very happy and I'm thrilled to see that some 300 to 500 now illegals have already been captured by Homan. But we have maybe 20 million. I mean, it's just not it's not doable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's that they're going to remain here. If we can get out a million or two, it will be miraculous. But we are not going to get the vast majority of those illegals who Biden Harris allowed to enter this country out.

I truly don't understand it. He's superhuman in this way. This is not fangirl, sycophant, cult member talk. It's an objective fact.

Listen to this guys. Um, border patrol. Now these are the numbers. I think this is from Fox's Allie Bradley reporting this. Okay. The data was obtained through a DHS source. Um, Okay. On January 17th through 19th, right before Trump was inaugurated, the encounters between migrants and Border Patrol were at 4,000.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Then OFO, which is a different—that's basically the people running the CPB1 app appointments— it was about 5,000. So about 9,000 encounters with, you know, attempted migrants entering the country a day from one 17 to one 19 Trump gets sworn in on one 20 and one 21. So this is this past Monday and Tuesday, it fell to 1900, call it 12, 2000 and nine 30, call it 1000. So that's down to 3,000, right?

Just to correct my numbers on the Lake and Riley Act, it was 33 Democratic senators who voted no, 156 House members, Democrats, voted no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It was 46 Dems who voted yes. So that's where I got the 40s number from. Anyway, so you got 46 Democrats who were sensible and are listening to their constituents, and you had 156 House Dems saying they're not on board with the Lake and Riley Act, which doesn't really help them with the populace, as you heard in that Harry Enten report.

All the polls, all of them across all networks, across all pollsters are showing in the mid 50s to 60 range with Democrats who are in favor of throwing all illegals out, all, not just the criminals.

It has that feeling like, yet another thing I really wanted that's going to improve my life and the life of my fellow countrymen has happened. And not just one thing, but a whole swath of things. The goodness just keeps on coming in droves. It's totally delightful. And for once, covering the news is... Uplifting. I always think covering the news is pretty fun. I mean, almost always.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
You've got AOC, like with the Saab story, like, no, you're going to deprive them of their due process rights, these poor illegals who are committed, who are accused of committing crime. And just look like 180 on the other side. So that's, she's over here, 180 on the other side. Here's Trump talking to Hannity last night in Saat 6. I think it's six.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Like you said, it's just sense. It's back to the political argument. He has a way of communicating with regular people that they all get on an instinctive level. There's no combating that. No AOC high soaring rhetoric is able to combat that. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Exactly. And when that tattoo is on your face, times 10. Yeah. Very aggressive. No secret there. Yeah. That was actually another line in the political article that the FDR said, I'd ask one thing, but to be judged by the enemies that I have made, judge me by my enemies. And I think Trump feels the same. He's thrilled to have AOC out there saying things like that about him. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
So moving on, there's a lot, there's a lot of other stuff we got to cover, including what they're doing to Pete Hegseth. So Pete Hegseth is, I think, still on his way to being confirmed. We've been watching McConnell, Murkowski, Collins and Ernst for Republican senators who should vote for him, but have reportedly been on the fence. Those first three have not said how they're going to vote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Ernst has said she will vote to support Pete and she did vote him out of committee. So we're still question marking those three. But we don't really care because if that's the only three he loses, then it's a tie in the Senate, which J.D. Vance would cast the deciding vote on and Pete would get in. But as the Senate slow rolls the final vote, the Democrats are saying we need more information.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
We need more time on Pete. You get an 11th hour submission now from. want to make sure I have it right. Pete has a brother. He has a couple of brothers. This is the lesser known brother and the brothers, not the brother's wife, but the brother's ex-wife who is a far left Democrat. I've talked to people who know her, um, who never liked Pete.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
comes forward to say he was some sort of an abuser of Pete's second wife, who's not her sister. They both married into the family. So this woman was married to the one brother of Pete, and Samantha Hegseth was Pete's second wife. And this woman says he's an abuser, and I know that because my some eight years married to the brother mostly overlaps Pete's marriage to Samantha.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And Samantha had—it was to the point where Samantha had a code word— where she would text it to me if she thought she was in trouble, like inside the house. And in fact, she did text me the code word one time. And so Pete, and that signifies that she was afraid of Pete. Well, okay. Like, Let's hear the rest of the story. What happened next? Did you call the police?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Did the police visit Pete's house? Did they arrest Pete? Was there a domestic violence complaint officially made? And most importantly, what does Samantha Hegseth say? Because we don't know you, weird ex-sister-in-law who's a far-left progressive Democrat trying to stop Pete. But... The ex-wife, Samantha, certainly does know Pete. So what does she say? She denies it. She denied it to the FBI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Now, she said he never physically abused me, which left me as a lawyer saying, is she leaving the door open to emotional abuse? Now, that comes with all sorts of question marks because... You know, a couple divorcing, they're going to fight. They're going to have a lot of arguments. He cheated on her. I'm sure they had some very volatile arguments when that was revealed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
He impregnated Jen, who became his third wife. And, you know, he wound up with. So I'm sure there were some very brutal rhetorical fights, but that's not necessarily abuse. And so I don't know what the truth is there. So then I went digging further and saw the divorce papers and the order issued by the judge in the divorce proceeding, which makes really clear what actually happened there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And that judge said, said nobody is alleging abuse and there's been absolutely nothing that tells me that there was abuse of any kind. He says there's no probable cause whatsoever to conclude that there was abuse in this marriage one way or the other. I'm trying to find the exact language. I can't find it in front of me right now. So what do we get?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
What's on your mind? No, it's amazing. It's like, I wonder... as a member of the media, whether they're starting to feel like, you know what? This could be a lot of fun. Maybe I don't have to hate this fake Hitler. Maybe I could really enjoy covering this guy for the entertaining person he is, who clearly loves the country and has an agenda that now has wide swaths of report.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
We get the media running with the headlines, Pete's accused of abuse. Pete's an abuser. He's accused of abuse. And in some publications, they don't even print that the actual ex-wife says that's not true. And in places like the New York Times, they stick that in the 18th paragraph of their story. I mean, because they want to do the damage to him without actually getting into it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Okay, here, hold on. Without actually telling the truth. Here's the New York Times. The main article on Tuesday, the headline was Hegseth ex-sister-in-law tells senators he was abusive to second wife. The sub headline, a woman once married to the brother of Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, submitted a sworn statement to the Senate in a late hour complication to his confirmation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
His lawyer denied her account. His lawyer? His lawyer denied it. How about mentioning that the alleged abuse victim denied it in your sub headline, New York Times? And then you've got the CBS Evening News in a report from Nicole Killian, who's got exactly the right last name because that's what she's been trying to do to Pete Hegseth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
made no mention, no mention of Samantha Hegseth's disavowals of the allegations in this ex-sister-in-law's affidavit. So CBS News didn't even want to tell its audience that the ex-wife, the alleged abuse victim, has denied it on the record. And by the way, back to what the Minnesota Family Court judge said in the divorce proceeding, he said...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Neither Pete nor Samantha Hegseth claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. He said he was making no determination whatsoever that there was probable cause to believe that one parent has been physically abused or... threatened with physical abuse by the other parent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Now, I think the alleged hiding in the closet, using the safe word, texting the sister-in-law that you feel unsafe would qualify as feeling that you'd been threatened with physical abuse. But this judge found that did not happen. And when asked recently by the FBI whether she was abused, Samantha Hegseth said no, no physical abuse. So This is where we are, guys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I mean, you tell me whether this is, you know, the Hail Mary pass by Jack Reed and others.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's important. That's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I was just looking at the RealClearPolitics average for Trump right now. His approval rating currently is at 53. 53, you guys. This is three, four days into all these executive orders crushing DEI, crushing the gender madness, crushing the green energy excesses. He's at 53.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Exactly right. So they're but they're, you know, they're obsessed. And these reporters, like I mentioned, this woman, Nicole Killian at CBS, who has been so unfair to him from the get go with the alleged rape allegation, which now just gets short formed by all of these media outlets to accused by rape and signed a settlement. Accused of rape, denied. They mentioned he denied it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
They don't talk about any of the holes in this woman's case. The fact that the police chose not to pursue it after doing a full investigation. The fact that she claimed she was given a date rape drug, but was seen on camera and by three independent witnesses and her husband on the back end within a period of two and a half hours, totally fine, sober and not drugged.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
That's not how the date rape drug works, people. None of that gets mentioned. It's just, think about it. As a man, you get accused by this woman in what appears to be an obvious lie, an obvious made up claim of rape. And then every publication, as you get the nomination of your lifetime, just short forms it to accused of rape and paid a settlement. Accused of rape. He was accused of rape.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Disgusting. It's so unfair. So anyway, this Nicole Killian has been doing this to him from the beginning. I'll just give you an example of this woman's reporting who decided to omit the fact that Samantha Hegseth has denied it from her CBS News report. Here's an example of her on the rape allegation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Look how smug she is. Unbelievable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
There's a little bit more color on this. The NBC News reporter who was behind this original report on the sister-in-law is named Julie Serkin. And there are two others, Sarah Fitzpatrick and Courtney Cube.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And, um, this circuit once called journalism frightening because of Trump, the greatest challenges was realizing that I was entering the business at a frightening time in almost every single speech I logged from Donald Trump's presidential campaign. There was a jab at the free press. which makes it frightening for her to join the media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Then she went on to say how challenging it was for her to balance emotional involvement and objective journalism. Well, I'm not sure she's doing such a great job of that over at NBC News, where she files this report on Pete and what's obviously an attempted political hit. And so impressed was NBC Nightly News with her reporting that they did not even include it in their nightly news broadcast.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
CBS runs with it, but omits the sister-in-law's denial. NBC looks at that turd of a report and said, we've got bigger things to cover.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Yeah. No problem. So many other things you can do. Like I always say to people who don't like the long hours or the weird hours of news, there's KeyBank. It's right down the road. Nobody bothers you. You work nine to four. It's nice and easy. I'm sure it's got its own set of challenges, but overall, it's far easier than working at news. You don't have to do this. That's it. Fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
go do something else. It's no problem. All right. So the important thing is we think that Pete is going to be confirmed. I have a prediction. It is now Thursday. They're saying possibly Friday night or the wee hours of Saturday morning that, that because Thune is basically saying, we're not leaving, get your cots. We're going to have a vote on Pete and these others.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
He's the Senate majority leader now. And, um, I have a prediction that Jack Reed slash Tim Cain, et cetera, they're not done. They're going to try to pull yet another rabbit out of their hat on Pete because they're really desperate to stop him. I think they smell blood in the water on that one. And they really just want to get one. And I think he's their favorite to get right now. But good luck.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Good luck. Because you got to
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
They're not doing any better with the OMB nominee, you guys. This may be my favorite story of the day. I don't know if you saw this, but, you know, OMB stands for Office of Management and Budget. And Trump's nominee, a guy named Russell Vogt, V-O-U-G-H-T, he goes over there to submit himself to questioning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And Democratic senator from the state of Washington, Patty Murray, gets this number crunching, you know, accountant type guy who's going to be managing the budget. That's a big responsibility. She's got him in her crosshairs. And where does she go with this extraordinary opportunity to cross-examine him? She goes here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Project 2025. It's amazing to me. Okay, so he's got views that are controversial on abortion. He's going to be the number cruncher. He's the guy with the little green visor who's going to be doing addition and subtraction. He is not going to be running federal abortion policy, which is not really a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Wait, stand by on that because stand by because Senator Whitehouse, he weighed in on this, too, and cross-examining vote. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I mean, I'm told by a reliable source mug that you've got breaking news on 2025. What's the story?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Yeah. Excellent. It's amazing, the obsession. They have obviously no points to score against this guy. He already was OMB director under Trump one. And they just decide to use it as a showcase for one of their favorite ponies. Like, oh, yeah, let's talk about abortion. Here's an extremist. Let's make the American population hate him. That's fun. Let's bring up all of our old favorites.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Project 2025 and abortion with no exceptions. Good times, right? Like that's all they have at this point. I want to talk about this. On the subject of people we no longer trust or should trust, Trump is yanking the security clearances of various officials. And it's frankly kind of delicious, including those 51 so-called national security officials or intelligence experts who
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
who signed the letter suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, which was a coordinated effort between those guys and the Biden campaign to save Joe Biden's ass from that laptop. And so Trump has pulled their security clearances, including people like John Brennan, James Clapper, Leon Panetta. And he also pulled the security clearance of John Bolton.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And I think also pulled John Bolton's Secret Service protection, which I did not even realize he was getting while he was traveling. Molly Hemingway pointed this out from media outlet to media outlet to bash Trump and make sure he wasn't reelected. The Secret Service was following him. Why were they protecting John Bolton instead of Trump adequately at the Pittsburgh rally?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
That's a question I'd love an answer to. So what do you make of the pulling of the security clearances of these folks? Because CBS's Margaret Brennan, she's very concerned. Here's what she tweeted. President Trump revoked the security clearance of a long list of former intelligence officials. This makes it hard for his own team to seek informed counsel from them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I'm like running over to my kitchen table in the morning to see what's in the New York Times, what's in the Washington Post, or what's in the Wall Street Journal, what's in the New York Post. I can't wait to see. And just getting on X and seeing, and we'll go through for the audience what Trump did yesterday and all the greatest executive orders that are still coming and what he's doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Yeah, this guy, General Michael Hayden, he's one of them. And twice, at least twice, he openly compared Trump to Hitler. Why would Trump allow this guy ongoing access to anything, anything? Never mind our national security secrets. This is obviously a dishonest broker. So good for him. More controversial is news today that he's pulling Secret Service protection for Mike Pompeo.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
But let's just start with that political piece because my jaw dropped smug. I'm like... What is this? From Politico? I thought it might be a spectator piece when I first saw the language grab from it. No, Politico's John F. Harris with a post this morning. He is the founding editor and global editor-in-chief of Politico. This is not some low-ranking occasional columnist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And I wonder your thoughts on that. I mean, I, you know, I have nothing against Mike Pompeo. I understand he's controversial within some MAGA circles, but I don't want him to get hurt. And I realize he was in an important position and actually, you know, could be exposed. I think he may have money to protect himself. I don't know. I'm not sure whether that factored in or not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
But I do think in general, we have too many ex-government officials who have Secret Service protection, given the fact that we have a Secret Service that is obviously undermanned and feeling slightly overwhelmed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I sat two people down from him at that Pittsburgh rally that I spoke at for Trump the night before the election. So he showed up there. He was in the good graces of the president. But I mean, and I would think as the former CIA director under Trump, the former secretary of state under Trump, he Maybe he does have some security threats. I mean, you can see that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
But I know that there's a very strong strain within the top MAGA echelons that really pushed against using him again in this administration because they think he's too much of a war hawk. They think he's just a little too neoconny, which is fine. They got their way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
But I don't totally get other than if they've had a falling out, in which case that would be petty by Trump or in if Trump is basically just trying to rein in the costs of this enormous service that I mean, John Bolton, like how many people have it? How many family members have it? Like how long will Hunter Biden have it? You know, it's just, this is an American taxpayer expense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And I just wonder, given how undermanned they are, whether we should be realistic about our abilities to pay these fees.

Before we get to the Oscars, got to spend a minute on the Obamas because there seems to be some momentum picking up in the rumor mill about their marriage. All right. I'm going to bring you what I know. First, on January 15th, in the sub stack of Jessica Reed Krause, also known as House and Habit, she's well connected in some circles and worked for RFKJ for a time. Right. Didn't she?

He kind of is Politico, founding editor, global editor-in-chief. And this is what he says. The headline is time to admit it. Trump is a great president. He's still trying to be a good one. Then he goes on to say as follows. All right. The second occasion of Trump taking the oath of office put him in an entirely new light.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
She was close to RFKJ. Right. close to, she posts the following. And she's been right about a lot, this gal. Michelle Obama's absence at Jimmy Carter's funeral certainly raised some eyebrows, but yesterday's announcement that she won't be attending Trump's inauguration confirms something is definitely going on between her and Barack.
The Megyn Kelly Show

She said whispers about cracks in their relationship have been circulating in D.C. for over a year now, but this feels like the first public proof of a marriage on the rocks. The question now is an if but when. If I had to guess, they will wait until after the inauguration to announce it. Timing, you know, is everything. And yet the story doesn't end there.

For months, I've heard Jennifer Aniston's name tied to Barack. At first, it seemed ridiculous, but the rumors have remained steady among New York and L.A. circles. I should reiterate to the audience that Aniston has denied it, saying, I don't even know him. I've seen Michelle more than I've ever seen him. Then Jessica cites a DM she received the day before. Quote, He's with Jennifer Aniston.

My old manager, now a friend, is connected to her inner circle. At a gathering with Jennifer's friends, the affair came up casually. Jennifer herself admitted it. They were sitting with a psychic, which makes it sound surreal, but it's definitely not a secret among her closest friends. Then yesterday, Meghan McCain had a discussion about this on her show, suggesting she is hearing the same.

Um, she had on Tara Palmieri, who's a reporter saying fast and furious loud. I've been hearing this rumor about the Obama's getting a divorce from reputable people. I'm not talking about TMZ. She says, I'm talking about very serious journalists telling me they are hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And Tara, who's a senior political correspondent for Puck says, I've certainly heard it for a while too. Even before Michelle said she wasn't coming to the inauguration. I do not know whether this is true at all, but if it is true, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democrat circles. Never mind America. I don't remember a presidential divorce in modern history.

Jennifer Aniston, it was her circle of friends there allegedly discussing it. I mean, we don't know. We don't know. But I know it's true. Is it so hard to believe?

For the first time, he is holding power under circumstances in which reasonable people cannot deny a basic fact. He is the greatest American figure of his era. Let's quickly exhale. Great in this context is not about a subjective debate over whether he is a singularly righteous leader or a singularly menacing one. It is now simply an objective description about the dimensions of his record.

the least attractive photo of her that's ever been released. I mean, this is just wrong. Michelle Obama can look very nice in a photograph. This ain't it. She's got the kerchief on her head. They're about 20 feet apart in this intimate dinner. And he looks great. This is classic, right? He's like, this is a great picture. He's got the thousand-watt smile. And she's terrible.

Here he is alone at the Trump inauguration, which really was, it was stark. All these former presidents came in with their wives and then there he was.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It was jarring, wasn't it?

And I talked about this with Maureen Callahan, but the fact that Michelle did not go to the Carter funeral, it really is kind of shocking because she said, her team said she had an appointment. She had a scheduling conflict. Like what could possibly be a conflict that would keep you away as a Democrat from President Carter's funeral? and then the inauguration.

But it's not always like uplifting, but it's totally uplifting right now. Let's ride it. We deserve it. A new day in America, everyone, as President Trump takes swift action during week one back in the White House. And to coincide with all this good news, CNN is... basically imploding. I mean, its implosion is becoming more official by the day.

It's like, I don't, and somebody was, was it Maureen? Maybe she's having plastic surgery, right? But she, but then he posts that picture of the two of them. Well, she wasn't having plastic surgery. So what the hell's going on?

I mean, there's not to add insult to injury, but there's a Daily Mail report out today saying Kamala Harris's marriage may be on the rocks. Like everybody's everybody's on the rocks again. It's I will say I love the Daily Mail, but the sourcing appeared weak. It was like people who know the couple.

He began a decade ago by dominating the Republican Party. He soon advanced to dominating every discussion of American politics broadly. Now his astonishing comeback after his defeat by Biden in 2020 and the notoriety of the January 6th riot makes clear there are certain things he is not and one big thing he is. There's more which we'll get to, but let's just stop there.

I'm all for marrying people named Doug, but she blew it somehow. I don't know. Okay, let's move on to the Oscars. And I'll tell the SiriusXM audience, I don't know if we're going to be able to get to the end of this before we say goodbye to you, but... I'll keep you guys over for just a couple of minutes. If you give me a couple extra at the end, we'll get it all in a podcast.

And I'm into the Oscar situation. So as you saw, as you know, from Javier Millay with his firebrand speech at Davos to Trump and his firebrand speech at Davos to Trump's winning Trump's executive order, the polls overwhelmingly showing that the American people feel we have, quote, gone too far to accommodate the transgender stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
there's been a clear message sent, not just by Republicans, but by Democrats as well. Holly Weird hasn't received said message because the Oscar nominations came out today, you guys, and I know you're big theater critics, so I saved this for you. Among the people nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role is a man, A man, I tell you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
He used to be known up until he was like in his late 40s as Carlos Gascon. And now he goes by Carla Sofia Gascon. He is 52 years old and transitioned in 2016, so-called transitioned. And for this, he was rewarded with the lead role in this movie, Emilia Perez, which has been, I think, also nominated for Best Picture.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And it's about a drug lord who's a Mexican cartel boss who's a male who really wants to transition as a Mexican cartel drug boss and does so from male to female. And of course, this is like tailor made for awards in Hollywood at the Golden Globes. Amelia Perez won for Best Picture, Musical or Comedy. I guess it's got music in it, too. He called for trans people to stand up to bigotry.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And now he has been nominated. He has taken one of the five coveted spots for Best Actress. Best Actress. So my basic take is all these Hollywood women deserve this, and I don't feel sorry for them. But what do you think?
The Megyn Kelly Show

Well done, Smug. Well done. Wait, just in case you didn't see it, you know, I'll give you a little preview. Zoe Saldana's in it, among others. This, as I said, is apparently a musical. And we pulled a little from the movie, a little scene of, well, you watch.

How is a movie, right? Double check me team. I think it's nominated for best picture with Vaginoplasty, yes. Mevoplasty, yes. Rhinoplasty, yes. How is that nominated for Best Picture? This person, Carla Sofia Gascon, at the Golden Globes in January, spoke after this movie won Best Picture in a musical, whatever, there. And here is what he said.
The Megyn Kelly Show

What does it mean to you guys to see this kind of a piece in Politico?

Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Okay. No one's putting transgender people in jail for being transgender. That's not a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Right? He's on the stage accepting an award for best picture. Nobody feels sorry for you. It's ridiculous. And now, honestly, I get that. Oh, here are the other actresses, okay, nominated in the best actress category. Fernanda Torres from I'm Still Here. Demi Moore for The Substance, which I'm told is absolutely terrible. Cynthia, is it Erivo? Yeah, she's from Wicked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
She's the co-star in Wicked across from... What's her name? Yeah. Yeah, Ariana Grande. And Mickey Madison for the movie Onora. So he's... I don't know if he's the favorite, but you tell me. I feel like these women are probably really... pro his presence in the Oscars and his presence in the movies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And not one of them will speak a word about the fact that an already very limited field, it's hard to get one of these nominations, is now even more limited because there is a man who was a man and presenting as a man all the way up to 2016 who's probably going to win.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Like remember when Peter Boghossian and his pals came up with those fake papers, like, is my dog a racist? And all these colleges published them and then they revealed it was a hoax.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's not just that movie and this guy. Now I'm kind of rooting for him. I hope he wins. I really do. I hope he wins the whole thing. I'm going to try to vote. I am, I think... I don't know if I'm a member of the Academy. You know, I'm an actress now. I'm in SAG, thanks to my appearance in Mr. Burcham. Yeah, I was a cartoon star. You may have missed it. It's possible.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Anyway, that's not the only controversial thing going on in the Oscars. Here is a clip of one of the best actor nominees. See if this looks familiar to you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
My God. Both of those guys nominated the guy who plays Trump, Sebastian Stan, as best actor. Jeremy Strong of Succession fame nominated for best supporting actor in a movie nobody saw and nobody liked. But they mocked Donald Trump. So you're in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's just like, you're right. You've never even heard of these actors and you've never even heard of these movies. And they're just like smaller and smaller and smaller, as is the audience. Guys, thank you. Thank you all for being here. Great to see you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
All right. And before we go, I want to tell the audience the route this guy's had to run. But one more thing on the Oscars. Of course, Conclave got nominated. Of course, of course, they nominated Conclave for Best Picture, the one that mocks the Catholics. Spoiler alert, okay? I hope you don't see Conclave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
So, and I think you probably already know the spoiler if you listen to this show, but it's about the Pope and choosing a new Pope and the Conclave that the Catholic cardinals have. And big reveal at the end, they choose a Pope who's secretly a woman, right? who's so-called intersex. And here's a little bit of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
All right, so Ray Fiennes, he's nominated for Best Actor. This film, of course, will be celebrated because they mock the Catholic Church. Ha ha, joke's on you, you have a female priest.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And don't take my word for it, because if you watch the thing, it's all about Stanley Tucci as a bishop who appears to be from New York or a cardinal saying like, I will not abandon my position that we need more women's rights in the church.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
You know, he's one of these leftist Catholics who's trying to take a stand, and they lionize him, and they make a mockery out of the Italian cardinal who's more conservative and who's more traditional, and they make him into a fool, a buffoon. And that's what they do to the entire Catholic Church by making surprise their new pope into... a woman. It's just ridiculous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
So you can see exactly what they're doing. This is their night to stand up and celebrate how much they hate Catholics, how much they believe men can become women, and how much they hate Donald Trump. Whether they say it explicitly or not, perhaps there will be a directive not to make the speeches political.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Much like the Golden Globes, the underlying content that will be rewarded that night tells everybody who is right of center, they can't stand you. Maybe keep that in mind when you're deciding whether or not to watch it. Thank you guys for watching. We are back tomorrow with Piers Morgan and more. See you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Hillary was so weak.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Or the place in Scotland. No, I know. I mean, it's very becoming very clear that the great comeback tour is far more beneficial to Trump and the country than anything. A straight eight would have been for him because he was able to flush old staff that was not working well for him and bring in new blood and come in with, as Don Jr.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
I mean, I'm sorry to see people get laid off and it's happening by the hundreds over there today. But I'm not sorry to see potentially chief Trump antagonist Jim Acosta lose his job. I'm not sorry. He deserves it. He had promise as like a tough but fair reporter back in the day, and he completely sold his soul to be TDS example number one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
said in this show, when he was predicting what would happen if his dad won. Yes, people who are loyal. It's important to Trump, but also people who are competent. And he said the first time around, we kind of just went for competence. And we forgot about the loyalty piece. And that's how you got deep state actors whose mission did not align with Trump's, you know, Rex Tillerson being one of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
You know, obviously there were others like Mattis, Millie, John Kelly. They had their own agenda and their own thoughts on how it ought to be handled. And nobody elected them to do anything. You know, they elected Trump. So now he's got it. And everybody it's like I'm reading today about how we're sending all these troops to the southern border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
And it's going to require a fair amount of cooperation between the military, ultimately Hegseth, and DHS, ultimately Kristi Noem. Those two will work together. because they are totally on board with enacting Trump's agenda. There won't be turf wars. There won't be, you know, getting your backup because somebody wants more than you're willing to give.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
Everyone will be there in service of the mission, which is Trump's mission, which is our mission, the people who put him in office.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
It's a great point because also, clearly the person who wrote, well, it's a bunch of people, but the people who wrote these executive orders foresaw the legal challenges that were coming and wrote the appropriate defensive language right into the EOs. I heard the guys at Commentary talking about this. I noticed it too. In the DEI order, you know, like no more DEI. We're done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
If you're taking federal dollars, whether you're a university or you're a subcontractor of the government, if you're pursuing a DEI agenda, you're out. We're not you're not getting our money anymore. And they had an exception on the universities for pointing out that to criticize the policy is totally fair game. Go for it. Like we're not trying to curb free speech.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump's Instant Action on Illegal Immigration, CNN Cuts, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 990
on a college campus about the government, its policies, its anti-wokeness. You can do that all you want, but you push DEI agendas. That's a different story. We don't have to give our money to you. It's been done very, very cleverly, again, by people who learned from just not only those first four years, but then watching what the Democrats would do when they had power.

How you doing? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me. Okay, so tell us a story. Start with the opening. Who is the prisoner and what happened to her?

True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
In today's AM bonus episode, the ramifications of Trump's executive order defending women from gender ideology, extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government are being celebrated all over the country and certainly right here at the MK show. Female prisoners also have reason to celebrate. Men cannot be housed in female prisons any longer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
So who was defending the lawsuit, the Bureau of Prisons, the Federal Bureau of Prisons?
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
And so was it the feds, was it the DOJ representing the Federal Bureau of Prisons?
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
And even at the federal level, if we don't get a Supreme Court ruling or a ruling from a higher court, it could just get reversed under the next president unless Trump changes the law, which hopefully he will. He's got four years. I mean, this was an immediate way to address the issue. And, you know, I think there actually is public support now to stop this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
If you look at the latest polls, they're overwhelmingly on the side of reason, even amongst Democrats. So I actually think there is the opportunity for legislation here. But I don't know. The Democrats tend to be very cowardly on these issues. So what we'd really like to see is a law passed by Congress and signed by Trump that puts this executive order into permanent place.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
And thank God, because one journalist recently detailed a shocking story of one female inmate's journey and trial over being housed with men. And it completely underscores how just and needed Trump's order was and how disgusting Obama, Biden and Harris were. in insisting that this be allowed to happen. Maddie Kearns is associate editor now at The Free Press, and she joins me now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
But short of that, a court ruling, especially from the Supreme Court, would be ideal. So the lawfare that's happening does matter. So what happens now? So she lost, by the way, what do we know the background of the judge who didn't think it was a big deal and thought she could just protect herself with a shower curtain?
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
You know, what's interesting is now it's Pam Bondi's potentially DOJ. You know, I don't think she's not going to have any trouble getting confirmed. And it's Trump's government. So the DOJ has the prerogative not to pursue, you know, appeals in certain cases or fight back on the Bureau of Prisons in certain cases.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
So I would imagine if Rhonda filed this lawsuit under President Trump, you might not even get a DOJ objecting to it. She might just win. She could get potentially even a declaratory judgment that she had the right not to live with men behind closed bars. But where it will be trickier is where the trans person sues to say, I have the right to go in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
Then Pam Bondi will go into court and say, no, you don't. We have a new federal policy. So there will be court decisions coming out, probably in droves now. By the way, this guy was an Obama appointee. But we're going to start to see a bunch of court decisions now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
And I think this is probably generally the beginning of a big case going up to the Supreme Court, which is what the trans community doesn't want, not with 6-3 conservative to lip.

It's amazing when you think about it, you know, you think about all the, all the attacks on Trump when it comes to women, you know, I mean, that's, I made my debate question to him about the things he had said about women at that point as a celebrity.

But of course, then all hell was unleashed against him with the, after the access Hollywood tape and all these women coming forward to say this, that the other thing about Trump, EG and Carol, whatever that was. And who has Obama has Biden?

Have they even arguably done more for women than Trump who passed the anti-sex trafficking law, who on his first day in office signs the sweeping executive order to protect female prisoners? Not exactly the most popular group. in America, not to mention girls in sport, not to mention women in their private spaces, you know, throughout university systems.

So like he just a sweeping protection of women and women's rights for which he will get no credit at all, Maddie.

Yes, you could see. We talked about how it was Mae Mailman of the Independent Women's Forum who drafted that with the help of a lot of others. And, you know, even before Mae got to it, it's just there's so many women and others, you know, I'm thinking about like Billboard Chris, who have spent large portions of their past 10 years fighting. fighting against this insanity.

And even, you know, I think about Kelly J. Keene, who's got, you know, all the merch like woman, adult, human, female, which is exactly the definition used by Trump's EO. Like everyone just had a hand in it. You know, you can see I can see the fingerprints of so many women fighters in this EO, which is going to change women's lives for the better.

Eventually, I have no doubt we'll get to the children. He didn't start with that, which is you know, the procedures for the children. But the polls are showing that the American populace, including Democrats, are against puberty blockers for children, too. So we're winning. We're winning on all of this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
True Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons, as Trump Drives Change - Deep Dive with Maddy Kearns | Ep. 989
And if we can win with prisoners who, again, with all due respect to Ronda, are not the most popular crowd. And as you say, it's a smaller crowd and it's not the most popular crowd because they're lawbreakers. Then we can definitely eventually win with kids. I'll give you the last word on it, Maddie.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We are going to get to some of the stories in the world of culture that have been dominating social media this week, from what's happening with this Snow White and the actress who apparently can't stand her character, to these weird tapes of Alec Baldwin and his wife.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Mm-hmm. Their true colors come out. There was another interesting piece in the Netflix doc about his mother, Roberta, who I must say comes across as a villain in this thing. But before we get to that, can we talk about what happened, Joe, when Gabby went down to Florida?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You guys, as I understand, she was raised in Long Island, but then she moved down to Florida to be with Brian, and she was with him and his parents. And the mother... started off fine toward Gabby, but this is before the van trip. She took a turn, and there's speculation on why she took a turn in the piece, Joe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And one of the things the family wants to speak about is how we can do better, these cops, but any cop and any family member seeing the signs of domestic abuse. Many people have no idea what it looks like, sounds like, what the warning signs are. Here is that 911 call.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
The burn after reading letter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
To me, it's interesting just because now you have a window into this being a very unwell young man. And so the parents are obviously a source of interest, too. And the mother's jealousy over a girlfriend is odd and strange. And you see Gabby texts in this piece, too. Once again, Roberta seems mad at her and Brian acknowledging she gets very dark. This happened throughout my childhood.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, just be patient. It passes. So it's still a mystery there, but we're gleaning more from this piece than we had prior about these parents who were totally uncooperative in the search for Gabby and appear, based on what I saw, in the film to have known right from the get-go that he killed her. I mean, that seems pretty clear that they got on the phone.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I mean, I'll bring you in on this, Brian, as the attorney. It appears from the phone logs that the parents called their lawyer, that they lawyered up immediately after getting a call from Brian in the Grand Tetons within what looks like hours of Gabby dying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Right. So because it looks like you guys reveal that he we believe it was the next day after we believe the murder happened. I think that we believe the murder was 827 of 21 and that on 828, he called his parents, had an hour long conversation with his mother. And then the next call the parents made was to a lawyer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And then we know shortly thereafter, Brian returned home to Florida without Gabby, which no one knew. And you guys, meanwhile, Joe and Tara are frantic. Eventually you get frantic at the beginning. You're like, I haven't heard from Gabby. Where's Gabby? She's kind of, you know, she's whatever. She's in the desert. And then it switches over to, no, this is not normal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And that's when you brought in the national media. And ultimately, you kept going to Brian's parents saying, have you guys heard from them? And they were completely uncooperative. And we now know we're housing Brian. We believe also knew what he had done, or at least that Gabby was no longer with us. And we're trying to cover it up or hide it or do something other than the right thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So can you just take us back to that time, Joe? And it was you, was it not, who brought in the national media to try to get attention?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Why is that important?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Right, because what you guys knew in the beginning was that he's home. Suddenly you find out he's home and the van is here, but Gabby is not here. And so is it the case that they never spoke to you? Like you obviously you were calling and Nikki, Gabby's mom was calling and her husband, Jim, was calling. So did they ever speak to you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So in the civil case you brought against them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
That's so right. That's exactly it. I cannot imagine your frustration while you're trying to find your child and the parents of the young man she was traveling with just won't respond to you. They just won't. They won't say anything, which is why eventually you called the police.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It was eventually, you know, you, you did call the police and got attention via the media and the police went to Brian Laundrie's parents' home where he'd been staying with them in Florida and And the video of some of what happened appears in the Netflix flick. Let's watch a little bit in SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Okay, so it was after you knew what had happened with Gabby. But you must have been told by the police the parents won't get... It's not that just that we couldn't reach them. It's not that they said they don't know. It's that they're refusing to talk to us. And your reaction when you heard that was what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
That was days before Gabby Petito would wind up dead. Gabby's father, Joe, and her stepmom, Tara, join me now along with their attorney, Brian Stewart. One in two adults have high blood pressure. Many don't even know it. That could be a ticking time bomb. But here's the good news. You have the power to take control naturally with 120 Life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah, that had to be the beginning of realizing what had happened. I totally understand. Oh, it's awful. It's awful. Just to jump to the worst part was when you found out, of course, that he had killed her, that she was dead and her remains were found.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And then there was a period thereafter where we realized Ryan had escaped, for lack of a better term, from his parents' house, notwithstanding the media and the cops having all eyes on him. And he eventually took his own life in a park not far from his home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And his bodies, his remains were found about a month after he shot himself in the head, according to the coroner, with a bizarre suicide note. I don't want to spend a lot of time on it, but he tried to blame Gabby. He tried to say she hurt herself and it was a mercy kill. And just for the record, that's utter nonsense, correct?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It does not dovetail at all with what the coroner said happened to Gabby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Can I just say one thing? So you were able to chuckle there, uh, Joe, when we were showing the note, it's pretty extraordinary as I've been watching you. I don't know you watching you. You seem like a very affable man. And that's how your daughter was too. Is it, is how are you, how are you even able to, to laugh? Like in Given everything you've been through, is it just your natural countenance?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Is it something you were born with that you passed along to your beautiful daughter? Talk about how you handle that emotionally.

You have pain with a purpose now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I mean, I've interviewed a lot of domestic violence survivors, a lot, and most of them older than Gabby. And the patterns are so familiar, right? The woman making excuses for the man, the woman wanting and needing to believe the promises that it will never happen again. the woman returning to the man and then defending and making excuses for the man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And of course, all of his controlling behavior over her, you know, and it does tend to be escalatory. You're right. The love bombing starts. Almost every woman I know says I would leave after the first hit. The first time he hit me or punched me, I'd be out the door. And it's just far more complicated than that. Strong women, smart women, successful women stay. They do stay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
There are all sorts of psychological and emotional reasons why they stay. So everyone listening to this needs to know it could happen to you. It could happen to your daughter. And it's the outside circle. Hopefully that can help the person who's being hurt extract themselves from it. But you can't if you don't know the signs. And that brings me to what happened in Moab with the 911 call.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, have you guys ever met the guy who called 911 after they saw Brian hit Gabby?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I wonder if like he would, I bet he'd love to meet you. I mean, he tried, you know, like that's just a good Samaritan who tried. He saw what was happening and he did what most people like might not do, like get involved, you know, call the cops on somebody. Actually, I believe most people probably would have, but many people would not have. In any event, so we played that soundbite.

Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
He called the 911 and then the police showed up. And the police are very affable. They seem to be wanting to do the right thing, but they do not do the right thing. And they let the whole story get manipulated on site. By Brian and frankly, Gabby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
But that's if you know anything about DV, you know that she's going to do that, you know, and you have an eyewitness, an independent eyewitness saying he hit her. He hit her when they show up on the scene. She's got bruises and cuts on her face, bruises on her arm, which they do point out. And he's got some sort of marks on his face, too. There, there's the terrible picture.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And here's just a bit of how the exchange went when the cops via body cam start talking to Gabby about what happened at SOT 8.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
What's that like for you guys now to see her blaming herself almost entirely?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
What do you wish those cops knew, Tara? What do you what do you wish those cops on site with Gabby that day knew?
The Megyn Kelly Show

I'm really grateful to you for speaking out. I'm sure even four years later, it is not easy. I've watched the Netflix documentary. It's very powerful. Joe, let me start with you on that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
For the losing audience, you're putting your hand in front of like your your chin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
She covered him out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Right. The fact that he had marks on him does not mean she was the aggressor. Keep going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Do you want to speak to that, the lethality assessment that more cops are now starting to do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
As Gabby's dad, why did you think it was a good idea to do the documentary and to cooperate in making this story?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
These guys said they had training. I mean, that's the thing. And like the way they're talking about it is like guys who have had training, but you know, you have to wonder if it was the right training. Can you give us a couple of the lethality questions, Joe?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So that's incredible. All right. Let me let me keep it going because I do want to spend a little bit more time in this traffic stop. Yeah. Then they talked to Brian and Brian, he's not crying. He's actually kind of laughing at a couple of points on this. Um, and he's completely dissembling. I mean, if you know anything about how to detect deception, it's, it's jumping off the screen at you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
He's not answering the direct questions. He's wiggling. He's his body language, all of it, which was not detected, but here's sat nine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Watching that now does what? I know you don't want to spend a lot of time on him, which I'm fine with, but it's got to be very striking.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
just for people listening at home. 1-800-799-SAFE. I do want to get to this next thing. So the cops in this exchange do start talking about how partners wind up murdered. I mean, it's really incredible, but they decide that Brian is the one who was the victim, that Gabby was the primary aggressor. He laughs. I'm going to play SOT 10 and SOT 11 back to back. Let's watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Brian Stewart, you're the attorney. As you hear, it's incredible what we see there because you see the cop is right on. He's got it exactly right. Women will defend and then they'll wind up murdered. But at the end, he completely turns it to he's the victim. And he dismisses the whole thing as a quote, a little slap fight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And I think the reason he did that is because he thinks Gabby's the only one who really slapped anyone, notwithstanding her bruised and battered face. What do you make of that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
They did. It's gripping. And the way it unfolds is so gripping because you really get to know Gabby. And you can tell that the family's participated. People who loved her are participating and helping us see her and understand her in a way we didn't from just the news clips or like the little snippets from her van vlogging, you know, stint provided.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Can I just ask you, so my own take on it is, the cop was saying that, I don't think that this is going to turn lethal, because he was thinking about Gabby as the abuser. It seemed to me, he was like, she's the one to blame. I don't think she's going to kill him. And which is just further evidence to me of how this thing got off the rails. He had it wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
No clue what's happening there, but we'll dive into it. But we are going to start with a much more serious story and one that's really important. If you've got a daughter in particular, this is important. This story gripped the entire world a few years ago, the disappearance of Gabby Petito. She vanished while on a cross-country van journey with her boyfriend, Brian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
His foundational assumptions were all wrong. And I will tell you, my own take watching it is, It gets very irritating because everyone there is kind of dismissing her as this hysteric. You know, the cops on scene, Brian's kind of laid back laughing like, oh, you know, she's hysterical. And then Gabby is the only one blaming herself. No one there is really probing whether Brian is to blame.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Like that to me is the real problem here, Brian. I don't know how how do we train cops to get past that when everyone both of the perpetrators are blaming the woman and the cops here seem to have a natural inclination that women are hysterical. And really, obviously, she's the emotional problem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Right. This is like I think most cops are coming to this thinking about themselves. Like I would never hit my wife. I would. Obviously, this isn't even like a tool in my brain that I can go to as a possibility here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
But of course, you're dealing with all sorts of people out there when you pull a car over who are not cops, who are not trained in protecting other people and who are in potential cases, in impossible cases, actual bad guys. Here are some of the questions from the lethality assessment for our audience. Has he or she ever used a weapon against you or threatened you with a weapon?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Has he or she threatened to kill you or your children? Do you think he or she might try to kill you? Do they have a gun? Can they get one easily? Have they ever tried to choke you? Are they violently or constantly jealous? Or does he or she control most of your daily activities? Have you left him or her? or separated after living together or being married? Are they unemployed?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So thank you for cooperating because I just feel like it's filled out the Gabby picture so much more robustly. It's amazing to me. Let me just kick it off with this. So, so Joe, you're Gabby's dad, Tara, you were her step-mom and you, but you and your ex Gabby's mom, her biological mom, Joe seem like you're good. Like you seem pretty close and, and her husband too, who seems as invested.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Have they ever tried to kill themselves? Do you have a child that is not your partners? Do they ever spy on you or leave you threatening messages? So these are all great questions. And you guys want this lethality assessment done in as many instances as possible. But in the context of doing all this, you have a wrongful death lawsuit against that police department in Moab, Utah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And they have defended it by citing this governmental immunity act, which basically is a state decision not to allow itself to be subjected to these kinds of claims because it would cost the taxpayers ultimately. And that's on its way up, Brian, to the Utah Supreme Court, as I understand it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So you have obtained a settlement from Brian Laundrie's parents already, correct, Brian?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Did you get answers? Did they finally...
The Megyn Kelly Show

Just your participation in this documentary, you guys, I have to tell you, I have a 13-year-old, almost 14-year-old daughter, and I'm going to have her watch this. I'm going to watch this with her and point out red flags, moments where her own behavior... Her own her own guides should be up. Her guards should be up. God forbid this were ever happening to her.

And I'm sure there are millions of moms and dads across the country who will do the same thing. I know it doesn't justify or really make anything better, but at least I think Gabby would be glad to know she had some sort of a legacy that includes protecting other girls and women.

I was going to say to your point about it doesn't discriminate against class. One of the other big hits on Netflix these days is the, the newest take on the OJ Simpson case. And it's excellent. It's very well done. But of course she died from domestic violence. She was killed by her abuser and they were as rich as you can get in America.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And so it's like, it doesn't discriminate based on money or success or fame or

Have you guys, have you learned anything? Anything in your studies, really, what's been going on these past few years for you about what causes a man to become an abuser or a woman, but what causes one to become an abuser? Do we know the answer to that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah, that's right. Well, one of the things you notice in watching the documentary, getting to know your family well, by the way, Brian, welcome to you as well. Sorry to leave you over there on the side. Appreciate you being here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
But part of what you said is really relevant here and taking accountability for your own wrongdoing is obviously a very important piece of what we were supposed to be teaching our children. And I have to say, just to round it out, that brings me back to burn after reading. the letter that Brian Landry's mother, Roberta, wrote to him. We're unsure, I guess, of the date of this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
There's a lot of speculation she wrote this after he got back from the trip before Gabby's remains were found, though I don't think we've ever specified exactly when it was written. And to the audience, since I told you I'd come back to it, she writes as follows, just in part, I just want you to remember I'll always love you, and I know you'll always love me. You are my boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Nothing will make me stop loving you. Nothing will or could ever divide us. No matter what we do or where we go or what we say, we will always love each other. If you're in jail, I will bake a cake with a file in it. If you need to dispose of a body, I will show up with a shovel and garbage bags and goes on and then ends with nothing can separate us.

Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not threats, not even sin, not the thinkable or unthinkable can get between us. Not time, not miles and miles and miles. Now she claimed that it was written before his trip with Gabby. but we all have our doubts about whether that's true, but just the, I know it's easy for me to say is thank God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
One of the things that you see, at least this is what I gleaned, is that Gabby came from a very loving family. And it explains this effervescence about this young woman. That's the only word that came to mind. Just effervescent. You know, the million-dollar smile and her positive energy and her sweetness, her love of nature and of life. And I can't use any of those words about Brian.

No, I won't. You're right. I take it back. I take it all back. All right, let's start at something far less controversial, which is Snow White. So I think it's fair to say that no one on the right side of America can stand the star of this movie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And yet, Christian, you've seen the movie and it appears that the filmmakers coddled together enough salvageable material to make the movie itself quite nice.

It's a good idea. You know, it's funny. I went to see My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center several years ago. My kids were young. And, you know, that's, of course, about Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins, the professor who tries to make her into an upper crust lady or fool people into thinking she is in any event. And...

They ended it in the actual film version and they end it together, like the two of them develop a romance and she stays with him. And in the Lincoln Theater, New York City version, no, she leaves him, of course, because you can't. He is kind of a prick, but I'm sorry, the story is what it is. Like you say, come up with your own stories. Go ahead, Christian.

This is the same. It'll be easy for her because of the snow. This is the same woman who posted on Instagram after the election. I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred. Learning, leaning us toward a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us toward a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. P.S. There's no daughter.

Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Leaning us toward a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn't want. There's no daughter and there's no daughter's baby. Leaning us toward a world that is fearful. This law should not have been, and it certainly should not have been by so many votes. I echo Ethel Kane's statement more than anything. May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.

Then she discusses the deep, deep sickness in this country. There is no help, no counsel in any of them. And she also attacked Twitter and Elon and finished it all with, fuck Donald Trump. So it's one of the reasons why she's not like the ideal choice for the lead role in Sweet Snow White and why many people are still not to mention all the terrible things she said about including.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And now she's trying to reinvent herself because there's been so much blowback. And you can only imagine the studio calls about this woman behind the scene like, oh, my God, we're two hundred and forty two million dollars in. And our lead actress hates our film. Our actors, our storyline. There's rumors that she and Gal Gadot don't get along either because one's pro-Palestinian, one is pro-Israel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It's just a total nightmare for the studios. So now she's trying to sell like, oh, I love Snow White. I love everything about the whole story. Here she is more recently trying to change the messaging. This is actually Wednesday, 39A. Louder, ready?

No, the reason they knew who she was because that took place at Walt Disney World. And undeniably, those those children had just exited from the what's it called? The Cinderella shop where you can get your child a little dress and they've got trannies in there. They've got a bunch of men.

Well, you saw what she said to Allure magazine when she was promoting Snow White just this week. She kind of ripped on Steven Spielberg, not directly or by name, but clearly it was about him and his team in that movie West Side Story, where she said she claims that the white executives on that movie made her prove her Latina heritage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
there's confusion because I don't have a single ounce of Latin in my name. When I was running for, in the running for Maria in West Side Story, they kept calling to ask if I was legit. I remember thinking, do you want me to bring in my abuelita? I will. I'll bring her in the studio if you want to meet her.

Zegler expresses some bemusement at, quote, having a bunch of white executives have you prove your identity to them. Now, I don't care what they say like on camera or to magazines, behind the scenes, you guys know as well as I do that those executives like Spielberg are looking at that saying, Rachel Zegler can F right off.

Yes, it's like those snot nosed Harry Potter stars who never miss an opportunity to stab J.K. Rowling for they think being a bigot. I completely disagree. Of course, she's just standing up for women's rights. OK, so that's that. But you make a nice transition for us. Link to Alec Baldwin. What in God's green earth is going on between those two? So they go.

It's true. At least Meghan Markle still has Harry's royal status, or at least kind of royal status. She's got that to hold on to. But this guy, it's like, you're right. His fortune's dwindling. He's not really going to be a major movie star anymore. She missed the peak Alec Baldwin, which was clearly Hunt for Red October. And she stuck with the leftovers here, who killed a woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And like you say, he's now persona non grata. But that like it happened over and over in that one clip, you know, he said, you're so beautiful. And she's like, no, no. And actually, there's another one kind of like that. Yeah. Did we just play this in SOT 28? SOT 28? No, no, no. This is another. This is another piece of the same exchange, SOT 28.

As most people now know, Gabby met a devastating end. She was murdered by Brian. This week, Gabby would have turned 26 years old. Her family continues to celebrate her life and memory with their mission to help other victims of domestic abuse. As a new Netflix documentary with which the family cooperated has put a spotlight on the story again. And there's been a lot of follow-up.

When you look at the van life vlog that Gabby and Brian were doing, you know, going to travel cross country and go to the great national parks and give us all a window into what that would be like this tiny, tiny little van. Um, it's only in retrospect now that we know what happened that to me, one of the things that jumped out in the Netflix documentary was, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show

She was still doing her little Spanish accent, wasn't she? I'm talking, you're not talking. You're not talking, we're not talking. We know you're from a tony suburb of Boston and went to a ritzy private girl school for some, probably 50 grand a year at this point. It's ridiculous how she continues to perpetuate this fraud on us. Okay, this is not, I'm not done.

Just ask the people who brought the gun lawsuit against him. You know, he just got charges dropped, you know, notwithstanding like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I never pulled a trigger. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I never. And she's out there like, you can't believe a word he says. He lies. And it ends with him begging her for a pat on the head.

That whole thing now seems like control and isolation on his part. No wonder he wanted this, Joe. Right now that you know what you know, do you have a different view of the whole purpose, at least on his part, in doing it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Or maybe it's because his very nasty wife can't stand him. I would avoid that house too. She's like a dominatrix or something. I don't mean, maybe that's what's going on. I there's something, but yeah, you know, we spent the first hour talking about DV and I'm not saying there's domestic violence situation, but like it can happen to men, not for nothing, but it can happen to men. And, uh,

I don't know what's happening there, but she, she does not love him. That's what I saw. I mean, I've been interrupted by my husband before and I've interrupted him before. And, you know, you always handle that with like a joke, you know, like, I don't know. I don't know exactly what I'd say, but I, I probably just let it pass. I wouldn't embarrass him on camera.

He does not have it in him to like feign the insincerity with somebody he doesn't like, which I have to say is an important social skill in life. You have to have this. He just won't. He's like, no, I'm out. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Well, all right, let me take you to the background a little bit because their reality show, The Baldwins, it airs on TLC. And here's a little bit our producers found of him talking on the show. Watch, it's hot 29.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Oh my God. So first of all, why is his hair like down, like the bangs in the front, like sort of a, I don't know, a character from like a Coen brothers movie. And once again, there she is in the background with her fake Spanish accent, right? Like, We have to, we cannot make it now. Like what she's doing. Even if you saw him on late night TV, like my wife, she's from Spain.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I mean, at this point you really have to wonder whether they've convinced themselves. She's Spanish. She's Hillary from Boston, but that's how they live. Right. She's got the enormous bathroom that you could probably fit your average New York city apartment into Alex walking around with his weird Coen brothers hair and his enormous belly, like listless. That's what I, how I would describe that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Your thoughts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
on how big a star you are and how hot you are on whether you will get canceled as a Hollywood actor. Right? I do think there are these intangibles that get factored in as to whether they kick you out. Like Kevin Spacey, he wasn't hot enough. Alec Baldwin, he doesn't... At his peak, he was quite dreamy. And I do believe that's kind of what Ilaria thought she was marrying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And now it's a different story. I mean, she said herself that he's walking around with PTSD after the whole shooting on the Rusk set. And so that's probably true. I hope somebody gets him the help he needs. So I think the three of us might need to drive by in a flower van to grab him. get him to greener pastures. Okay. Okay. Um, moving on Dylan Mulvaney back in the news. I'm sorry, audience.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I'm sorry, but we're just going to spend a minute on Dylan Mulvaney who has now not only dropped a memoir, but has opened up a podcast and, um, it's called the Dylan hour. I'm sure you're all writing it down and good to going to subscribe now, but, uh, here is his opening song, uh,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
By the way, Dylan Mulvaney, for those of you who don't know, is a man pretending to be a woman and making a living off of describing his hundred days of girlhood and now his days of womanhood. And he is not a woman or a girl. He is a man. Here is the opening song for his pod.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And you guys, I'm the one who did it to you. Christian, will you be writing that one up soon? And a review, same as Snow White?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, Link, I'll tell you something. Just because I knew you guys were going to be coming on, we'd be talking about this person. I actually downloaded his audio book. I didn't make it through the first chapter, but I did try. And what I gleaned off of what I heard was... this is, this is just a gay boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
This, he, he was a gay boy who knew he was gay when he was very young and his family knew he was gay and he became a theater kid and he was starring on like off Broadway type productions and a book of Mormon and like doing okay. Not, not doing too poorly, but, And I don't know how it crossed over, but I don't believe this person ever had true gender dysphoria.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I just think he was a gay man who saw an opportunity to take things next level by playing this new role.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Now, Dylan went on The View to promote his memoir, again, which I believe he launched on the International Day of Women. Like, OK. So he goes on The View to promote his book. And they did raise with him the Bud Light controversy, where Bud Light agreed to put his face on a can and sent him the can as a promotional thing. I mean... To be perfectly honest, this is all on Bud Light.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
That particular incident is way more a Bud Light problem than it is a Dylan Mulvaney problem. But Bud Light should have foreseen what was going to happen to Dylan as a result of it. And look, he's out there trying to make money off of his image of women and girls, which is really offensive. So I really have no empathy for the mix he found himself in. But...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It was an overwhelming backlash and he was asked about it. Here's how that went in Sat 21 on CBS.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So, and there was a question about whether Dylan needed to be institutionalized, and Dylan said, I don't want to be institutionalized because people will just use that against me. But I have to tell you, I really think this is more a revelation, Christian, of the unwellness of this person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Because there are a lot of people who go through massive social media backlash, a lot of people who don't think about taking their own lives, who don't need to be institutionalized, and not just hard, you know, cynical mofos like yours truly. But you know, a lot of people have backlash.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
If the people listening to this show have had it on in their lives, what is a massive scale where people have turned on them and try to cancel them on Facebook because of their politics, what have you, I just know from my audience, this has happened to a lot of people, but Dylan revealing that I think it reveals more than he means to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So, like, I've asked myself, what is it about this particular person that I find so offensive? Because I will say, Link, I appreciate his sunny affect and how smiley he is and his signature sign-off is love ya. And he doesn't seem to be a hateful person, like, necessarily. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
What I'm trying to say is his attitude is generally upbeat when you see him in a way that I can see it being appealing to younger people. Like, oh, he's so nice. But the whole caricature of women that he's doing is deeply offensive, even though he's saying love ya at the end of it. And it's almost regressive. I feel like he's setting us back decades with this portrayal of what we are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Oh, you did. Oh, yeah. Who could blame you? Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead, Tara.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And then you start talking about him... giving out tampons and walking around with tampons it's like is there nothing about actual womanhood that is sacred to you you have to make a joke or like a a marketable shtick out of every part of what being a woman is actually like and then my blood starts to boil again around this guy
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So I have no, what did you think was going to happen? It's true. He, he courted public attention and comments on whatever he did. And he crossed a line. Look, there was blowback against him in the early days too, because he was mocking us with those ridiculous quote days of girlhood, but it didn't get, you know, fever pitch until the Bud Light thing, which he wanted, he courted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It's like, you, you have to take the bad with the good. That's what Dylan doesn't understand. It's what Meghan Markle doesn't understand. It's like Michelle Obama. If you're going to put yourself out there, it's not going to all be loving and supportive and wonderful. Like... Man up. And I mean that to all three of them. Man up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It is no different than having a severe anorexic all over the Internet being like, try it. Just stop eating or put your fingers down your throat. You can just get rid of that big dinner and you can be skinny like me. Go ahead, Christian. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I know. It's really kind of infuriating. And now, of course, he's like a big star and he's working it for all it's worth. You mentioned he's actually a nasty person behind the scenes. Here is an exchange from his first episode of his show where he's making his father practice speaking on the red carpet. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I don't know, guys. I don't. Again, I'm uncomfortable. It didn't seem real to me. There were quite a few comments in the whole exchange.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Well, but the dad is totally misleading people, too, because he was asked, what do you do, you know, when your child, you know, comes out as trans? And here's what he said. Well, Dylan and he talked about it. Listen, here's 18.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah. Well, you can see that and you do get to see some great sites of beauty in those videos than pictures that are in the piece. It just occurred to me that that's an abuser's perfect solution. You know, I believe you that Gabby wanted to do it, not knowing that she was engaged to a domestic violence perpetrator.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Oh, really? Okay. Well, if your right is to participate in girls' sports, it's a no. The dad's a no for me. But that's really interesting, right? Because he's like, you just embrace it. And by the way, you guys know better than anybody, a five or six-year-old boy saying, I think God made a mistake and put a girl in a boy's body. The overwhelming odds are he's talking about his sexuality.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
He's realizing that in this society... You know, boys are supposed to date girls. Boys are supposed to be attracted to girls. You're supposed to want to kiss girls. And this little boy was clearly realizing that wasn't for him. That's not a gender flag. It's just ridiculous. Now you have these two people out there very publicly saying embrace trans ideology at age five.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And that message is everywhere on the hard left.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah. Then don't put him out there. I mean, clearly there's a, there's a reason Dylan wound up the way Dylan is, but the whole thing is very sus to me. And the issue of girl sports is in the news every day. He doesn't speak out the way Caitlin does about it at all. And there was just another one today. Hold on a second.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It's in Portland, in Portland, Oregon, where this week, a male, an 11th grader, one gold in the girls, 400 meter varsity race. His name is Aiden Ada Gallagher. Watch this guy crush. Look at this. He's about two miles ahead of the girls who are behind him. They have clearly zero shot of catching up with him. And he's super thrilled that his post-pubescent male body beat...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
the girls who are miles behind him. This is at the McDaniel high school. He set a season record guys after finishing, uh, over seven seconds ahead of his female competitors. He was booed as he did it, by the way. Um, In the 200-meter and the 400-meter, both of those, he finished second place.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
If he'd been running in the men's meet, he would have finished 61st out of 65 and 46th out of 58th, respectively. He has not done hormone replacement therapy, at least as of April 2024. So he's got all of his male advantage. And that's why even in Portland, Oregon, they're booing, which, I mean, I take some comfort from the fact that they're booing there. Christian?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
But I'm sure given what I heard from one of Gabby's best friends in the Netflix documentary, forgive me, I don't remember her name. She's got the tats. She's blonde.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I don't know. Not once. Literally not once.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
We mentioned Meghan Markle earlier, and we do have Meghan Markle news. I know you're excited, Link. Meghan Markle, as you know, she's launched her little show, whatever, Ever After, and whatever it's called. I don't remember what it's called. With love. And as ever, as ever. Okay, whatever. Whatever. That's what I'm calling her show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It's terrible. It's gotten totally panned. And then she announced, oh, I've gotten the second season, which is a lie. And they've already shot all the episodes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So as you guys know, what that means is they shot all these episodes at the same time and intended on two seasons from the start, but decided to hold the announcement of season two until she started to get panned on season one to try to change the narrative to this is a success. Because if this were a true renewal, she would not have shot all the episodes yet. Like, that's...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
We love Rose. OK, Rose. She talked in the Netflix piece about how she felt he was starting to isolate Gabby. Like when she and Gabby were spending too much time together, Gabby was leaning too much on her friend or even potentially her parents. he started to get upset and started to want to isolate her, which is just exactly on brand for an abuser.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
They're not saying we're going to pour more money into this. They already shot everything. Anyway, so there's some podcaster out there who said something about Megan, like, I'm worried you're going to get backlash the way Blake Lively's gotten backlash. And I guess Megan decided to write this girl a note. And the podcaster, whose name is Amanda Hirsch, posted the note that Megan Markle sent her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And you guys are not going to believe. Look at this. Look at this. at the stationery. Can you see that? It's got her weird calligraphy. I'm fancy writing. Look at the signature at the top, the little imprint, the emblem. It's a huge M. Can you see what's on top of it? Link? A crown, a tiara.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So last question for you on the, on this link, I saw you did a post the other day about how Michelle Obama's lame podcast and Meghan Markle's lame show. And there was one other that you said, they're all tanking. And for good reason. So why? And who's the third?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
What a shock that the people are not tuning in. You're so right, though, Chris. It's so relatable. Her little crown and her calligraphy note to this woman. OK, which is obviously just an attempt at PR. Guys, a pleasure. Thank you so much.

So you can see how Gabby's innocence about traveling the country and, you know, hitting the road together would have been right up his alley. Like he, he gets her away from you guys. It gets her away from her mom and Jim. He gets her away from Rose and her other friends and And it's this perfect formula for, you know, the storm that was coming. What do you guys make of that?

And this, one of the interesting things they did in the documentary was to not have an actress voice over Gabby's journal entries, but to use AI to recreate her voice, which is really, that must be somewhat chilling and maybe weirdly comforting to,

Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
on this critical traffic stop, the police intervening after they received a 911 call suggesting a witness had seen Brian hit Gabby. The police pulled over the van as a result of that 911 call. And what happened next had the potential, the potential to save Gabby Petito, but it didn't.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031

The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
When you see the increase and you hear that messaging, please stop crying. And the documentary shows a lot of those. Like there were numerous messages by Gabby or by him, Brian, acknowledging his tears and how upset he was and how dark he was and Gabby blaming herself. And even when she writes about how he loved her, There are statements like, I don't deserve his love.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, like he's this sort of vaunted guy who she's so lucky to have. Meanwhile, I feel like, I mean, you guys probably know much more about it at this point, but to me, the whole thing feels like an emotional manipulation by him of her.

You know, Mike, as a practical matter, this is just so helpful to Trump because what he was alleged to have done in this case wasn't all necessarily in his role as official, you know, like official access president, thus falling within the Supreme Court ruling saying he has immunity for that. And, you know, the sort of scheme with the electors and some of the stuff after the fact.

So it it might have been tougher to dump this case based on the Supreme Court than, you It was with the others. So it really, in some ways, did come down to this motion by Ashley Merchant, and she did it. And you know what? So the best part of it, because I think we'd be cheering it on either way, because this was just a bullshit, made-up claim, but...

What's so great about it is Fannie Willis is guilty. This actually happened. We all believe that. There was so much testimony. Nathan Wade, he lied under oath in his interrogatory answers in his divorce proceeding where he claimed there was nobody that he'd taken the trips with. He had no receipts from any trips he'd taken with him. It was all lies. He'd been all over the world with Fannie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
He was a proven liar. And this case came down to his testimony and Fannie's testimony. Neither was credible. They embarrassed themselves on a stand. And really what they showed was that they're not people of good character. And that was really at the heart of the problems behind them bringing this case to begin with.

It already cost them the presidency. It cost them the Senate. And it could cost them a lot more, depending on what the investigations into them, which are undoubted, will likely show. So, Phil, bottom line, you say this is there won't be another prosecuting. Like if the person has to volunteer to say, I'll do it. And you say there's there's no one who's going to do that in all likelihood.

against the president-elect of the United States. One additional question, Phil. They filed an appeal, as Ashley mentioned. Already, Fannie's trying to appeal this up to the Georgia Supreme Court. Do they have to take it? Can they reject it? And if they do take it, how do you like the chances there?

It was a two to one opinion. All three Republican governor appointed, although different Republican governors. One person dissented, who was a Brian Kemp appointee, saying, I think this really is the trial judge's call and that we really don't have the authority to overrule him. The other two said, no, an abuse of discretion is reviewable by an appellate court.

And we think this one was so egregious that this judge did abuse his discretion by not disqualifying her. And it's our obligation to protect the the law and the system.

That was officially not one of the books that Fannie Willis was reading when she was pursuing Donald Trump and getting her office psyched up to get him. VDH, welcome back to the show. Wow. I mean, it's just a complete victory for Trump on this lawfare, not to mention politically, but on this lawfare in particular.

That's the thing. So we played a sound bit of Joy Reid, like you go, my DEIs, you know, like, I don't know if you heard that, but it's, the problem is not Fannie Willis's race. It's that she was promoted to this role, probably in part because of her race and her gender, right? Because the left, leftist party likes to celebrate those things over merit.

She was not smart enough or competent enough for the job, which this case has proven. She wasn't ready to try this RICO case against Trump and these others. And by the way, no one smart would have engaged in this unethical behavior and then taken the witness stand and clearly, in my opinion, lied about it under oath.

That's right. That was so offensive. And Fannie Willis, too, played the race card openly in this case, which I also think is repulsive to fair minded black Americans who are sick and tired of hearing their race used as a weapon to justify bad behavior. by in this case, a black woman and a black man. They see right through this too. They know this is BS.

When she got in trouble, this came out, Ashley filed her motion. It was clear she'd been having an affair with the special prosecutor she brought in who was then enhancing her lifestyle lavishly by flying her all over the world and the hotels and so on.

And I understand, you know what, for the sake of the case, I'm going to disqualify myself and another prosecutor can take this. She didn't do it. What'd she do? She went out and played the race card saying, oh, why'd they only come after Nathan Wade? I brought in two other prosecutors who they have no issue with. Well, you're not stooping the other two.

They love it. But they also love it when it's been like the most epic historic pile on or at least one of them.

I can't think of one that's worse that we've ever seen against a presidential candidate and a guy who served as president in the nation's history.

But Trump was saying on the wall parts, this is going to cost us hundreds of millions of dollars. Why don't we own them? You know, Biden's team says, oh, they're worthless. Well, why don't you let Trump be the judge of that? If they are, he'll sell them off. Don't start selling off the border wall like you've been doing for the past four years.

Right. And unity. He did a great job. Heck of a job, Brownie. All right. Stand by because there is an update in the George Stephanopoulos debacle over at ABC News. We discussed this at length the other day on what were the producers saying in his ear? You know, and I talked about how my producers, when I say something wrong, they save me often. They'll say, no, it was this.

And sometimes I correct myself. Sometimes they correct me. But the point is, we do our best to bring you guys correct information. And one of the questions we asked was when he was doing that disaster segment that just cost ABC News 16 million dollars, were his producers saying, George, not rape? No, Trump wasn't found liable for rape.

The news breaking this morning in the New York Post that, according to them, George Stephanopoulos was warned by his executive producer not to use the word rape in describing what a jury had found Trump civilly liable for. That his producer had said to him, it was not rape, don't call it rape. And it appears he ignored that advice. Now, here's what's I mean, this is very interesting to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
It just shows the depths of hatred like Fannie Willis that George Stephanopoulos has for Trump. They're their flagship anchor. I mean, he and David Muir, whom we saw all saw his performance at the debate, are the two main guys over there. And so here's what The Post reports in an exclusive article.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
Okay, Stephanopoulos was repeatedly told by his executive producer not to use the word rape before going on air, but the ABC News anchor ignored the warning. This week's producer, because he said this on his Sunday show, said, don't use the word rape, that's in quotes, before the segment started, a network source told the Post. The EP said it, quote, so many times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
A second source at the show, listen to this, confirmed via a text message viewed by the post that Stephanopoulos was warned not to say rape. So this post has seen some sort of text message in which a second source somehow confirms that George was told not to say rape. Could it be they saw a text message to George?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
you know, confirming it or could they, could the EP, somebody wrote down understanding this was problematic that they had made a record. They told George not to do this. He did it. And now you've got an ABC spokesperson saying to CNN, Oh, that's not true. It's absolutely not true that he was warned. Well, These spokespeople lie through their teeth all the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
You can't believe one word any of them say at Fox, at NBC, and at ABC. Trust me, not to mention CNN. But it's very interesting to me that they're saying they've got it confirmed by two separate sources inside ABC that he was told. And honestly, Victor, if that's true, I don't want to hear one more word from anybody about Why did ABC News settle? You know, people think they had a shot at winning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
First of all, they didn't because it's very clear he wasn't found civilly liable for rape. But second of all, you've got the EP saying, I told him not to do it. And he insisted on doing it 10 times in one segment. What do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
I think you're good. You don't need a resolution. You've already gotten a decision that declares effectively what you said was true and it was deeply problematic. Phil Holloway, you said it from the beginning as well, that this absolutely is untoward behavior and that you can't have, just so people are reminded of what the controversy was, you can't have the sitting D.A.,

Another nail in the lawfare coffin against now President-elect Donald Trump. The court says the indictment against the President-elect and his co-defendants still stands. That's not a surprise. They took a shot, tried to get it dumped along with her, but no one really put much stock in that. But the ruling leaves open the question of... Who the hell is going to take over the case, if anyone?

Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
That's really true because look at the David Muir and Lindsay Davis suffered absolutely no consequences as a result of that disastrous debate. Martha Raddatz of ABC is the one who was like, The Venezuelan gangs have only invaded a couple of apartment buildings. No problem. She's fine with them. This is a Bob Iger problem. Obviously, the man who's transing Disney right now.

with a financial incentive to make the case go on, not because of her own job, she has that no matter what, but because she's having an affair with a special prosecutor she brought in who does get paid based on how long the case goes on. He's getting money from the county if it goes on longer. If it ends, he doesn't. And he was taking her all over the world.

Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
No, but it was very clear. And that, that was based on his defamation because he continued to say, no, she's a nut case that it was 5 million for the alleged sexual assault. But here's, what's crazy. Like it's, It's crystal clear that the jury said no on rape. They said no. They said yes on sexual abuse. And yet here's what you get there.

If she doesn't point out, he said 10 times that a jury found him civilly liable for rape, for rape, for rape. And I'm looking at the jury form right here. Question number one. Did Ms. Carroll prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Trump raped Ms. Carroll? No. Question two, that Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll. No. Yes, it's right there. Black and white. It is not imprecise.

You know, it's good, Victor. I mean, we talked about this on the show the other day. The even Trump is saying I'm not into banning. I'm not talking about banning vaccines, but I do think we should look into them. That's all. And then that story about the polio vaccine was, of course, misrepresented his lawyer personally. pushed to question one strain.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Fani Willis DQ'ed in Georgia, and Delusional Biden's Cognitive Decline, with VDH, Ashleigh Merchant, Mike Davis, and Phil Holloway | Ep. 970
I think there are eight total of the polio vaccine. It's just one. That's it. Even the lawyer for RFKJ never pushed to ban the polio vaccine, and neither did RFKJ. And Trump is already on record saying, we're not banning the polio vaccine. But you're right. His belly is exposed on the vaccines because that really upsets the left.

If you're keeping tabs, the Jack Smith cases have been dismissed without prejudice. And in the New York documents case, Judge Mershon denied President-elect Trump's bid to dismiss his conviction on the ground of presidential immunity, which was an absolute mistake. That will be one of the many successful grounds of appeal for Mr. Trump.

Yes. I mean, it could have been that she was seeing the world thanks to Nathan Wade's additional money. And it could have been hatred of Donald Trump. Either way, it's inappropriate. Hatred toward the defendant is not an appropriate motivator for a DA. She's supposed to just seek justice. What was your what was your client's reaction when you told him the news?

I feel like president Trump owes him a solid. If he hadn't filed that motion, I mean, you, you were onto this when nobody else was onto this. It took a local lawyer with local connections. I mentioned Terrence Bradley because he was in practice with Nathan Wade and they had been very close and he knew what was going on between the two of them.

Our friend Danny McCarthy expects Trump will not be sentenced even without a reversal while he's president. Unprecedented situation. But that that that trial judge in that case made so many material errors that things getting reversed when it goes up. But for now, we'll just let it stay in. Purgatory, as they're holding the proceedings, as Trump assumes the presidency.

Okay, so he decided that it was all Samir Rao's fault and it wasn't Carlos Watson at all. Now I'm going to jump ahead because ultimately, Carlos Watson... and Samir Rao, and a third executive were charged by the feds for committing a massive fraud on their investors. And there's news in the case, which is why we are bringing the curious case of Carlos Watson to you today.

I was still in my sitting on the couch, figuring things out stage. And he had a booker reach out to me and asked me whether I wanted to go on his show. And I never heard of his show. Like, what's his show? It's on YouTube. Oh, it's exploding. It's big. You know, you, you should, you should go on. So I did what I always do in these situations.

And I will get to all that in due time. But I want to just flash forward for a moment to the prosecution's uh, elicitation of what happened in, um, that call with the YouTube executive. Okay. This is what the prosecutors told the jury actually happened. Cause you heard there, Carlos Watson saying it was Samir, very sad, you know, wasn't me. It's, it's very unfortunate.

November 2020 through February 2021, Watson and his co-conspirators attempted to induce Goldman Sachs to invest up to $45 million in Aussie by means of material misrepresentations and omissions regarding Aussie's historical and projected financial results, debts, and business relationships.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Had the full $45 million investment occurred as intended, $6 million of it would have been paid to Carlos Watson personally. He was trying to get Goldman to invest $45 million and $6 million of it was going to go into his back pocket. As part of its due diligence, Goldman Sachs executive asked Watson and Rao to arrange a meeting with someone from YouTube.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Watson and his co-conspirators claimed the online video service had paid Ozzy nearly $6 million in licensing revenue for the Carlos Watson show. This was another misrepresentation. Ozzy was never paid by YouTube for Ozzy content. Yet another lie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They looked at Goldman Sachs, these bankers, and said, not only are we going to put you in touch with the YouTube executive, but that we have been paid $6 million by YouTube for licensing our amazing show. YouTube doesn't pay two cents to license this amazing show. And trust me, I will take it. They want to pay me $6 million to license my show. Great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Anywho, not what happened in my case or in his, the difference being I never represented to investment bankers that it did in an, in an effort to induce a $45 million investment. Okay. They go on to say, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Okay, because Ozzy did not, in fact, have any business relationship whatsoever with YouTube, Watson and Rao agreed that Rao would impersonate a media executive at YouTube in communications with Goldman Sachs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
On January 28th, 2021, Rao, with Watson's agreement, created a fake email address in the name of the media executive, that's Alex Piper again, which he used to correspond with representatives of Goldman Sachs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
On February 2nd, 2021, Rao had a phone call with employees of Goldman Sachs during which he impersonated said media executive from YouTube using a voice alteration application that he downloaded onto his cellular telephone to mask his voice during the call. Pay attention here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
During the call, Watson was in the same room as Rao and texted Rao instructions about what to say and what not to say on the call. What to say? Can we just can we rerun Aaron Ross Sorkin? He was sitting there telling him exactly what to say as the fake YouTube executive. And now listen to Carlos Watson's explanation again to Andrew Ross Sorkin.

And I had Abby, my assistant look into whether this is a real person with a real show. And is this something I should consider? And this is a montage of people he's had on his shows over the years. But this is a sampling that represents what we found when we started looking into who is Carlos Watson and who does he typically interview? Let's play SOT50.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Every word of that was a lie. You did know. You were there. We figured it out. You did it. There's nothing to figure out. You were part of it. I immediately called back Goldman. It's wrong. It's heartbreaking. I mean, it is wrong. It's not heartbreaking to you. Maybe that you got caught and now your whole fraudulent empire is crumbling. But that's just a taste of how it went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And I must say, though I am not a fan personally of that anchor, he did a very good job in that interview. He, as I mentioned, also went on with Craig Melvin over on the Today Show and said, Ozzy is restarting. We're opening back up. Like seconds after they were shut down because all the employees understood that it was a fraud. And here's how he described it. It's a quick soundbite. Listen here.

Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
No, no, actually. And they did try to reopen. That would not last. You will not be surprised to hear. Now, Um, as I mentioned, he was ultimately charged. The feds did step in and they charged him and his two co-conspirators with, um, here's the charges against Carlos.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
One count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which is when you get somebody to fraudulently transfer money to you, um, and aggravated identity theft, um, In connection with a years-long scheme to defraud investors and lenders to Ozzy of tens of millions of dollars. Tens of millions. They estimated, actually former COO Samir Rao testified at Carlos' trial.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
He estimated that investors poured between $75 million and $100 million into the company. Those investments wound up worth zero. Zero. Because there was no there there. There were almost no YouTube viewers. There was no groundswell of support behind Carlos Watson's Aussie media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
He was posting fake YouTube numbers where he claimed to have, for example, a million views on a video, and those videos would have fewer than 100 comments. Now, if you get a million views on a video on YouTube, you don't have a hundred comments. I went just to look at, for an example, some of ours. One video we posted has 4 million views. It has 177,000 comments. One video has 3.5 million viewers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
It has 100,000 comments. you don't post a million dollar or one that gets a million views and have under, you know, a thousand comments, a couple, a fewer than a hundred comments on it. That's a tell.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And it appears they were doing some sort of a scheme where their videos would pop up in the background of some site you were visiting and you wouldn't even know it was running and it would count as a view, but it explains the total lack of engagement by the audience because they're not even watching it. And that's why nobody knew who Carlos Watson was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
but he was using this scheme to go to people like Bill Gates and yours truly and say, hey, I have this big YouTube presence, please come on my show. Then the more of us who said yes, the more he'd use our names to go get other big name guests and so on and so forth. Okay, but that is not all that happened inside of his company. Listen to this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
The DOJ, okay, talks about in December of 2019, this also came up in trial, Watson and his co-conspirators, hold on, okay, attempted to induce a bank to lend Aussie money. This is before 2019. The YouTube thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Based on misrepresentations and omissions about Ozzy's business, Watson and his co-conspirators sought to secure the loan with anticipated revenues from a second season of an Ozzy TV show. However, the contract between Ozzy and the show's cable network for the second season of the show was still under negotiation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Courthouse News reports that the channel was the Oprah Winfrey Network and the show was, quote, "'Black women own the conversation' in which Watson was the host." The DOJ alleges that to induce the bank to make this loan sooner, Watson directed Ozzie's then chief financial officer, the CFO, Tripti Thakur,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
to send the bank a fake signed contract between Ozzy and the cable network, which again, we're assuming is own, purporting to be signing him up for the second season. So here again, he's going to a bank, trying to get an investment, claiming he had a deal that he did not have. But this CFO, unlike his COO, Sumir, the CFO, Tripty Thacker, refused to do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
He wanted her to come up with a fake signed contract showing he had this deal secured. And she said no. When she said no, Samir, with Carlos Watson's approval, reading here the allegations by the DOJ, sent the fake contract to the bank, copying everything. Thacker. So in other words, the woman, the CFO said, I'm not doing that shit. And Samir and Carlos were like, we don't need her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
So they drafted up the fake contract and sent it along and had the temerity, the stupidity to CC the CFO who had just said, I'm not doing that. Going back to the DOJ's allegation later that day, Tripti Thakur emailed Watson and Rao to say she was resigning effective immediately. She explained, quote, this is illegal. This is fraud.

In subsequent months, Watson and his co-conspirators, again here quoting from the DOJ, continue to attempt to induce the bank to lend Aussie several million dollars based on misrepresentations and omissions, including regarding the expected revenue from the second season of the Aussie TV show. During these discussions, the bank requested to speak to a representative of the cable network.

Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
To conceal the lies about Ozzy's relationship with the cable network and the status in terms of their agreements, Rao, with Watson's approval, created a fake email address in the name of an actual executive of the cable network, again, which we think is own, which Rao used to impersonate the executive and communicate with the bank about the potential loan. This is just unbelievable.

This is not like a one-off. It's not like a momentary lapse of ethics. It's like a serial fraud that these two were engaged in. Okay, and then there's another piece that was brought up about the way they lured in this guy, Brad Bessie. who they wanted to be an executive producer at Ozzy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And what they told this guy who had been the EP of Entertainment Tonight was, we're going to launch, you're going to be the executive producer of Carlos's new show. It's going to go on A&E. We're hot. It's a hot property. This is June of 2020. And they lure this guy in, Brad Bessie, and he's like, it's on, great. I'm going to be the EP.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
I am hired as the EP of The Carlos Watson Show, a daily half-hour interview program produced by Ozzy, hosted by Watson, and it's going to be in primetime on A&E. That's what Samir Rao told him. Okay, I think you already know where this is going. Mr. Bessie said he had no contact with A&E executives during the making of the show. They were making it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And when he asked Mr. Watson and Mr. Rao about it, they said the executives wanted to talk only to them. And when Mr. Bessie said he knew several A&E executives and would be happy to reach out to them, they told him, maybe not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Another warning sign, Mr. Bessie said, was that one of the other producers pointed out that A&E had already scheduled the show Hoarders for the very time slot that was supposedly meant for the Carlos Watson show. Toward the end of July of 2020, Mr. Bessie got in touch himself with an A&E executive to confirm that the channel would indeed broadcast the Carlos Watson show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Okay. So, you know, Bill Gates, big name, tough guest to book. There are a lot of big names in there. And we were told by Carlos's producers what the YouTube traffic was, what the numbers were. And, you know, you sort of just want to make sure that this is up to your level, right? You don't want to go on a show with four viewers. So I said yes. And I did go on Carlos's show a couple of times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
That is when he learned it would not appear on A&E, he said. Mr. Bessie said he resigned when he learned that he'd been lied to. And in a farewell email to Watson and Rao, which he shared with the New York Times, he wrote... you are playing a dangerous game with the truth. The consequences of offering an A&E show to guests when we don't have one to offer are catastrophic for Ozzy and for me.

Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
This is just absolutely incredible. So all of this comes to a head. this past summer when the U S attorney, well, first the U S attorney charged him, which happened prior to this summer. And then there was a trial. Here's the U S attorney for the Eastern district of New York, which is Brooklyn announcing the conviction of Carlos Watson. Take a listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They alleged at trial that they, by the way, they have a lot of sophisticated investors in Aussie too. Lorraine Powell jobs, of course, because she's never seen a woke project that she doesn't like. Carlos wasn't woke on the air, but he was a black man launching a media company that was supposed to be more centrist in its approach. And he's seeking out for money in 2020, June of 2020 and so on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
When it was post George Floyd, I mean, people were dying to give Carlos money. So in any event, you had at the trial, people like Alex Piper of YouTube testify, the head of Google, Sundar Pichai, can't remember, I don't know if that's how you pronounce it. I've only ever seen his last name written.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
they testified for the government saying they never had deals with Ozzy with whom, you know, Carlos was claiming he did have deals and, um, they never considered buying Ozzy at any price, contrary to Watson's claims to investors. He had said like Google had considered buying and so on. So, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
The prosecutor said that Watson had also assured investors that Ozzie was thriving, even as its cash reserves sank to $19,000 at one point, and it was struggling to pay rent wages and other basic expenses, but they still wanted to line their own pockets. All right. So all of this goes down, Carlos gets convicted and now he was facing prison time, my friends, prison time of, uh,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
The minimum was two years and the maximum was 29, 29. He wanted the minimum, of course, and the government wanted something like 19 years, I think. And the sentencing just happened just prior to the sentencing. which was, was it, what was the actual date of the sentencing, sentencing, trying to find out. But it was, it was very recent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Just prior to the sentencing, guess who, guess who reached out? It was just this past Monday. Guess who reached out to the MK show? Carlos Watson through his PR person. Yeah, yeah. By the way, Sumir, whatever, and another person at Ozzy, they're also facing charges, and they testified against Carlos at trial, and we'll see how things go out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They'll probably do better than he's doing because they struck a deal. Anyway, Carlos said he wanted to come on the show in advance of his sentencing, which we found very interesting. I mean, I couldn't believe my ears. I was like, is he really going to come on here? I mean, he knows I'm a lawyer. He knows I'm not going to give him a pass. We've covered this before since he's gotten in trouble.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Here is one example, SOP 51.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And we prepared. We got ready. We had all the research pulled and so on and so forth. And the day of the interview, they canceled. to the surprise of no one on our team. And then like a day or two later, he did pop up on a podcast, one you've never heard of called Way Up with Angela Yee. And I will give you a feel for how That went, okay, hold on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
I can't say, I'm looking at my sought list, but what I want here is the soundbite in which he talks about being a black man and what's happening to him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
I started it because I wanted to be able to talk about the news in an unbridled way. I feel like more and more we're telling people they have to be quiet or they have to use certain words or not use certain words or don't touch that subject. Or if you touch it, you have to talk about it this way. And... I don't like it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Oh, my God. He's trying to claim they're after him because he's black. This is a desperate man. That nonsense about Ben Smith. He's got to be in his bonnet about Ben Smith, who did this reporting for The Times. You know, was it BuzzFeed? Then went to The Times and now has launched Semaphore.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Trying to claim that somehow he had a personal beef against Carlos because like at one point, BuzzFeed tried to buy Carlos and he wouldn't sell. Meanwhile, Ben Smith had been on my show and we interviewed Ben about this. And here's what he said just for the record on it. Salt 62.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And that was it. So Ben Smith has nothing to do with this. I don't know why I decided to blame Ben Smith. And Ben Smith's dad is a judge on New York State's highest court. This is a federal trial. And Ben Smith's dad had absolutely nothing to do with it. I do not know how he took this turn. But you heard that sound bite.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
If I were white and running a media company that was healthy and hired people and someone in Brooklyn tried to prosecute me, And then he takes a dodge. It's like you, Angela, you know, you you're in Brooklyn and somebody tries to prosecute you in some other jurisdiction like Utah. I don't live in Brooklyn. I never had an office there. I didn't have nothing to do with that except Ben Smith.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Why is it? Can we just run it again? Can you run that soundbite again?

I don't like cancel culture and I don't like false parameters being put around speech. I'm almost a First Amendment absolutist. And I'm worried about what's happening to the country along these lines. So I think it's worth fighting for. And I wanted a forum that I would control so that I would not be cancelable. Right on. Still feel that way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
All right. So just first of all. I didn't have nothing to do with that. Okay, because he's going on a show hosted by a black woman playing the race card. This Harvard and Stanford Law graduate is now, I had nothing. I had nothing to do with that. Okay, Carlos, who do you think you're fooling? You know, the New York Times would be saying, oh, he's just code switching like Kamala.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
We're going to win. We're going to win. OK, we hear you talk every day. We know you don't talk like that. Stop it. Ridiculous. But he gets in front of a presumably mostly black audience and he tries to play the race card and sound like that. OK, sure. If we keep allowing them to snuff out black excellence, I promise you it won't stop with me. What part was the black excellence?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Was it the way Samir impersonated Alex Piper with voice alteration technology? Is that, because I think that might be Indian excellence. I'm not sure. I haven't looked into Samir, but it sounds like an Indian name. I'm not sure. I know you were pulling it. Was the black excellence you Cyrano de Bergiac-ing it from your phone texting Samir?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
While he did it, is that what you mean by black excellence? Because that's the kind of thing we actually do want to snuff out. Not so much your straight news interviews, which had you just tried harder, Carlos, might have eventually turned into something. But you decided to shortchange it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
You decided to cheat your way to the top rather than doing the long, hard slog that all of us in this lane have to do. And let me tell you, I know of what I speak. Year one on this show, when I went on the Carlos Watson show, when I had Carlos on this show, it was just like that. It was hard. It was hard. You check the downloads. It builds in inches, not miles.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
You know, it doesn't, it's not like one day you tune in and you've got millions of subscribers, not at all. It takes years and it takes a lot of elbow grease and it takes a lot of patience. And I've told you before what I kept saying to my team, all throughout that lean period was just keep rowing, just keep rowing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And then eventually, hopefully, if you have a good product, you hit smooth sailing, right? And things start coming your way and you catch a great gust of wind. Carlos Watson was full of wind and decided to shortchange everything and behave in a criminally fraudulent manner. And And it had nothing to do with snuffing out black excellence that he got criminally charged for his crimes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Nothing whatsoever. By the way, there was a black prosecutor you heard announcing his conviction. As I said, really, really focused on... his color now. So, um, at sentencing, he did the same thing when he got, um, up in front of the judge. This was once again, a big thing that he tried to play about the race card.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
So Carlos, let me promote my podcast that you're listening to right now in its infancy on his show. And we became friendly. I never saw him socially, but he had me on a few times. And then eventually I had him on my baby podcast, as I pointed out. And it was kind of interesting. I mean, I remember what I was interested in getting Carlos's bio and it was tough.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
He told the judge that he was a target of selective prosecution as a black entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, where African-American executives have been disproportionately few. And he called the case quote, a modern lynching. a modern lynching. I made mistakes. I'm very, very sorry that people are hurt, myself included, like a true narcissist. Back to me, I'm sad, but I don't think it's fair.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
So he was sentenced on just this past, like last Monday, December 16th, by United States District Judge Eric Comitee. And he was sentenced to 116 months in prison, almost 10 years. He was sentenced to almost 10 years in prison, nine years and eight months. Holy shit. I'm sorry. I just can't believe that that guy with the YouTube and Samir and Abby and Ozzy Fest and all like he's going to jail.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
well, sentenced for nine plus. He's probably going to serve around six, to be perfectly honest, with good behavior and all that. And he's crying, boo effing who, with now in the media and elsewhere, trying to get people to feel sorry for him. After he did all this stuff, he wasn't some passive victim of Samir. The prosecution proved at trial that he was in on all of it. And of course he would be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Look at that email with the CFO. He's on there. You can't claim plausible deniability. The judge actually said that the quantum of dishonesty in this case is exceptional. It's exceptional. And here's more, okay? Before you start to feel sorry for Carlos, which I assume you're not, but he got basically the same time, just a little less than Elizabeth Holmes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And the judge understood that comparison and was just fine with it. This is what the prosecution said in their sentencing memo seeking a stiff penalty. This case is unusual for the audacity, the pervasiveness and the length of Watson's fraud, as well as for his obstruction, perjury, repeated attacks on the justice system and complete rejection of any responsibility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
The memo was particularly harsh toward Watson's character. Quote, the history and characteristics of the defendant also weigh in favor of a serious sentence. He is dishonest. The ease with which he lied to victims again and again, and the ease with which he lied on the stand is frankly dishonest. unsettling. He is manipulative. He is cynical. He is callous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
There has never been any indication that Watson feels any empathy for any of his victims, people who believed in him, whom he stole from. In most cases, a defendant accepts responsibility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Watson has done the opposite, not just fighting his case on the merits, as is his right, but taking every opportunity to obstruct, to retaliate, to undermine the justice system, and to continue lying and breaking the rules. Watson's history and characteristics thus further support a substantial sentence.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
The memo also said that it was fair to compare him to Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who received an 11-year and three-month sentence for defrauding investors of over $100 million. Same number. Although Theranos' product was quite different than Ozzy's, argued the prosecution, the lies that Watson told investors were very similar to those told by Holmes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They lied about revenue and contractual relationships to outside investors while silencing or ignoring concerns raised by employees. Both sets of founders fully embodied the fake-it-till-you-make-it approach and used it as a justification for their behavior.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Like Holmes specifically, Watson played up his image as a charismatic founder, drawing investment to his company based on a success story that he knew was not true, all while actively courting as much press and personal attention as possible. It's really pretty incredible. Think about that. He is dishonest. He is cynical. He is callous. The ease with which he lied is frankly unsettling.

Instead, you tried to short track it, to short change your journey to the top. like neither a gentleman nor your average rogue. You know, I think back to my own experience of Carlos Watson and I liked him. Like so many others, he fooled me into thinking he's a nice guy. And I've told you this. I do not have a good, he's actually not a good guy detector. Doug does.

Oh, he was telling me something there and I really should have listened. Okay, so that's where we were as of 2021. Then Carlos was running these things called Aussie Fests. And it was like, you know, a big gathering of muckety mucks where you'd get together and have onstage conversations. And there'd be all these well-known people out there.

And I guess potentially networking opportunities if you're a networker, which I infamously am not. I'm very bad at networking. I'm usually like, I want to go home and be alone. But anyway, he really, really wanted me to go down to where was it, Abby? What city? It was in Florida? No, I think it was, wasn't it like New Orleans? I think it was New Orleans. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Anyway, he wanted me to go down to the Southeast and appear at Aussie Fest with him. And he had his right-hand man, Samir, call Abby. And he dealt with Abby a million times saying, please, please, please, can we have Megan? She's like, I don't know. She doesn't really like to do these things, but please, please, please, please, please. Carlos would really be appreciative. Okay.

Andrea and Rebecca were going to join me and we were going to go down to, I think it's New Orleans for the Aussie fest.

So not that long after we'd been on each other's shows and so on. And here's the headline of the New York Times piece. Goldman Sachs, Aussie media, any $40 million conference call gone wrong.

And they say there's no guarantee that the convenience, zero liability fraud protection and rewards programs you know and love will remain. The Electronics Payments Coalition says corporate megastores will make more money while you sacrifice your payment convenience, rewards, and peace of mind.

I'm going to read you some of this piece. This past winter, Goldman Sachs was closing in on a $40 million investment in Aussie, a digital media company founded in 2013. And there seemed to be a lot of reasons to do the deal. Aussie boasted of a large audience for its general interest website, its newsletters, its videos.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And the company had a charismatic chief executive, Carlos Watson, a one-time cable news anchor, he worked at MSNBC, who had worked at Goldman Sachs early in his career. FYI, he went to Harvard undergrad and Stanford Law School, though it does not appear he practiced law for any meaningful time, if at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And crucially, Ozzy said it had a great relationship with YouTube, where many of its videos attracted more than a million views. All right, I'm going to pause here. So this is all consistent with what I knew of Carlos and Aussie media at that time. And what was happening was Carlos was trying to get another round of funding into his company so he could expand.
The Megyn Kelly Show

I don't do funding on The Megyn Kelly Show. I never have. I don't take big investments from outside investors to fund my show or my hiring. I have a partnership with Sirius, which has been a blessing and it's worked out amazingly, but I don't go to investors to have them give me their money so that I can put the show on the air. It would create more problems than it would ever solve.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
That's my business model. There are many other places that do take money. I think the Daily Wire, you know, has, I know that they have some investors and that's fine. I'm not criticizing them at all. I'm just saying there's different models. And Carlos was more in that model where he was taking outside investment, trying to grow his company.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Well, in an effort to do that, he had gone to Goldman Sachs and he had asked for over $40 million. And Goldman Sachs will give you $40 million for your media company if you can show that you are a success and that you're going to make this money plus back for them. They're not in the business of charitable donations. So they were going through this process.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And one of the things that Goldman Sachs wanted to do before it loaned Carlos or invested in Carlos Watts' company was to see... more about those YouTube numbers because that was really the crux of his success. That's where he was putting all his points on the board. That plus his alleged newsletter, which he was claiming had 20 million subscribers, which is huge, huge.

Let me take you back to episode 103, back in May of 2021, when I interviewed Ozzy, that's Actually, let's go back even further in time. I had no idea who Carlos Watson was back in 2018 or so. I had left NBC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
So they asked, Goldman did, if they could have a conference call with the YouTube executive responsible for running business with Carlos, for being in business with Carlos, which Carlos said he was with YouTube. Now, normally the way it works on YouTube is you're not in business with them. They have a platform.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They'll allow you to come on it unless you really screw up over and over, in which case you could get booted. But it's not really a business relationship. in virtually any case, maybe I think they've been trying to get a business relationship with people like Mr. Beast, right?

He's got 300 million subscribers, but in general, we're all just visitors perched on their platform and they'll allow us to advertise there and to make money there and they make money. But, you know, it's not like they've hired us or they license us or anything like that. So there was a man, is a man, named Alex Piper. I believe it's a man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Alex Piper, head of unscripted programming for YouTube Originals. Yeah, it's a man. And so Ozzy and Carlos Watson and Samir said, yeah, we'll put you in touch with Alex Piper, and he will tell you all about how amazing we are on YouTube. Back to the Times article. The scheduled participants included Alex Piper, who was running late for the meeting.

with Goldman Sachs and apologized to the Goldman Sachs team saying that he had had trouble logging onto Zoom. Keep in mind, this is 2021 still. And he suggested that the meeting be moved to a conference call, according to four people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
once everyone had made the switch to an old-fashioned conference call, the guest, Alex Piper, told the bankers what they had been wanting to hear, that Ozzy was a great success on YouTube, racking up significant views and ad dollars, and that Mr. Watson was as good a leader as he seemed to be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
As he spoke, however, this Alex Piper, his voice began to sound strange to the Goldman Sachs team, as though... It might have been digitally altered. After the meeting, someone on the Goldman Sachs side reached out to Mr. Piper, not through the Gmail address that had been provided by... the Aussie team to Goldman Sachs, but through the YouTube executive, Mr. Piper's assistant at YouTube.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
They found another way to go directly to Alex Piper. That's when things got weird, reading here from the Times article. A confused Mr. Piper told the Goldman Sachs investor who was calling that he had never spoken with her before. even though he had allegedly just had a conference call with her about how great Ozzie was and Carlos Watson.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Someone else, it seemed, had been playing the part of Mr. Piper on the call with Ozzie. This is unbelievable. When YouTube learned that someone had apparently impersonated one of their executives at a business meeting, its security team started an investigation. The inquiry did not get far before a name emerged.

Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
who is apparently busy defrauding Goldman Sachs. So he couldn't get right back to Abby about my appearance at Aussie Fest. In Carlos Watson's apology to Goldman Sachs and in an email to the New York Times reporter on Friday, Mr. Watson attributed the incident to a mental health crisis and shared what he said were details of Mr. Rao's diagnosis. See, he's gone nuts, is what Carlos said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Samir, this is a quote attributed to Carlos, is a valued colleague and a close friend. I'm proud that we stood by him while he struggled, and we're all glad to see him now thriving again. Now, I got to tell you, Abigail Finan and I were like, oh my God. my God. It's like, what? He's in a mental health crisis.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Like you got to know, like Abby has stalked this man and he has stalked her to try to get me. They've had many correspondence. He did not sound like he was in the middle of a mental health crisis or breakdown. So we are reading this like you've got to be effing kidding me. Right. This is in The New York Times. Like, holy shit. Close friend. He struggled. We stuck by him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
Then he added that Mr. Rao took time off from work after that call and is now back at Aussie. But it all appears to have just happened. How much time could he have taken off? A few days? This was years ago. What are you talking about? Mr. Rao did not reply to requests for comment. Okay. Now, This is everywhere. This story is everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
And it's a complete professional embarrassment to Carlos Watson. And it made a lot of news in the cable news industry because it's like, well, this guy used to work for MSNBC. He's making some waves. And now it turns out his company may or may not be a fraud. He may or may not be a fraud. We don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Details the Curious Case of Carlos Watson, and Shocking Downfall of the Disgraced Media Mogul | Ep. 969
So he decides to go back home to the NBC universe and he appears on the Today Show, Carlos does, and he appears on CNBC with Andrew Ross Sorkin, who... gets into this call between Samir Rao and Goldman Sachs. Samir, of course, with the voice alteration technology to make himself sound like a YouTube executive. And here's how that went on October 4th, 2021.

Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and episode four of our special series, Megan Kelly Investigates. We're tackling the disappearance of baby Lisa. She vanished from her crib in the middle of the night in October of 2011. Today, she'd be a teenager. But where is she and who took her? Someone knows.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
And this name, Dane Greathouse, of course, is very relevant.
The Megyn Kelly Show

That the baby had been taken?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
Neither Kansas City PD nor the FBI would talk to us. And philanthropist Christy Haas Schiller's offer of a $100,000 reward for any information that could lead to the return of Lisa remains unclaimed. If you could write that $100,000 check, it'd probably be the most delightful money you ever spent in your life. Absolutely.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
And so if he really did move the body and was paid $15,000 to move the body from the original burial site, I mean, there's a lot of buzz around Dane Greathouse and a few different lines into him. Again, we don't know if they're true. This is just as reflected in the police report.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
Dane Greathouse did speak with us, telling us he was questioned by police. He told us he knew who Boris Dubinsky was, but did not actually know the man. He also said he never moved anything, nor was he paid anything. We found him living at home with his mother where he was participating in drug court, an alternative to jail that offers treatment and education.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
Dane followed up with a text that read in part, I'm glad you guys came over and talked. Honestly, I just hope this can bring light to the case and in time things get solved. Boris Dubinsky also told us he had nothing to do with baby Lisa's disappearance. He said he was once in the same jail with Chad Huber, that he knows what Huber said about him, but that none of it is true.

Matt Shaver told us there were indeed photos of the riverbank stored on his PlayStation memory card. He said police confiscated that card, and when they did, they told him the photos had originated on Cody Allnut's phone. He says he has no idea if they were pictures of a gravesite. As these pictures show, there was a search done along the banks of the Missouri River. No body was found.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
What Cody Allnut saw or did not see, we may never know. We were not able to speak with him. We did speak with his father, Larry, who told us Cody has schizophrenia. Larry Allnut is his son's limited guardian and conservator. He told us the FBI interviewed Cody once around the time Lisa disappeared and never returned.

Did the Kansas City police investigate any of these claims or come to a conclusion about this cast of characters? We don't know because they won't say. When we called and asked, they again told us they will not comment on a so-called open investigation. And we are not the only ones being ignored by the Kansas City PD.

According to Jeremy, they have received not a single update on their missing daughter in the last 10 years. I find it appalling that they haven't contacted you in years. You don't even get an annual phone call from a police officer saying, we're still looking into it, we haven't forgotten about you?

While 42-year-old John Tanko, known as Jersey, may seem to have been the best suspect given his criminal history and that mysterious call from the Irwins' stolen phone to the phone of Tanko's ex-girlfriend, Megan Wright, on the night baby Lisa went missing, no arrests were ever made. In 2011, police said they'd moved on from Tanko.

You know, it should be easier for police. Police have all sorts of investigatory abilities and powers that we don't have to figure out who was where, when, what the phone records of that person show and what their actions were.

John Jersey Tanko was questioned by the police at the time. He denies any involvement and the case remains open. Did the FBI ever tell you, Megan, that you were cleared? I realize you only had that one six hour meeting. Did they ever? Or the Kansas City PD? Megan Wright.

What did you make of the fact that in my interview with Deborah, she was saying, this did jump out at me, she was saying things like, there's an example of a mother who found her daughter after 16 years. There's an example of a father who found his kid after X years. I went to 23andMe and I gave my DNA. I went to Ancestry.com and I gave my DNA there just in case she finds it.

I realize even somebody who had done something would be smart enough to say, Present tense, present tense, present tense. So that's okay. I'll check that to the side. But doing things like that, I believe her that she did searches for a child who came back. Why would you do that if you knew your child was no longer alive?

That leads me back to these police reports that you guys have seen, these interview reports that we managed to get our hands on.

I mean, it's possible that she did the same thing, that that's all made up, but that she did actually bring the baby out there and that the baby was buried. And this same Keystone cop force

Much of what they've heard is secondhand and goes to some very dark places, to drug dens, to baby brokers, to terrible conclusions.

So back in 2012, Chad Huber apparently had thoughts on baby Lisa and named three new people with a possible connection to this case. Three new names we have not discussed in this series. Matt Shaver. Boris Dubinsky, and Cody Allnut. Huber also mentions one that you'll be familiar with, Dane Greathouse. This is complicated and a lot to follow. Bear with me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
According to the interviews, Chad Huber, car thief suspect, tells cops that Cody Allnut, an 18-year-old who, according to his father, was hanging out with a bad crowd, wanted to talk to Chad about baby Lisa. Chad Huber tells police, presumably based on that conversation with Cody Allnut, that baby Lisa is dead.

Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
And while the documents do not reveal anything about how, Chad Huber says several people are involved. Dane Greathouse, the same guy who allegedly had the phone, called by the Irwins' stolen cell phone the night Lisa went missing, was paid to move Lisa's deceased body, says Huber, from one grave site to another. Who? Who paid him? According to Huber, it was convicted criminal Boris Dubinsky.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alternate Theories, Alarming Details - Part 4 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1025
Huber tells police, as reflected in these documents, Dubinsky paid $15,000 for the transfer. Why would he do that? And where would this guy possibly get 15 grand? What's more, according to a 2012 police interview, Huber tells cops that Matt Shaver, the owner of that house in which Megan Wright was doing drugs on the night Lisa went missing, had pictures, pictures the cops might want to see.

before we even have a real hearing on the case, before your lawyers really had any chance whatsoever to defend you, right? That's activism. And why should the Trump administration actually be forced to start shredding documents before it's even had a lawyer appear before a judge? Like they're trying to create a constitutional crisis is, I guess, the point I'm making.

Done With Debt will stand between you and your bill collectors. They can go head-to-head with their creditors, getting your balances reduced, your interest rates slashed, and penalties stopped. They create a plan to end your debt fast and put more cash in your pocket every month. And right now, Done With Debt is accepting new clients. But you need to act fast.

And it's so annoying listening to the press coverage of it because they just say, oh, constitutional crisis, you know, because of that tweet and because they just don't like Trump and because Trump's not rolling over in these court proceedings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
But what's what's really happened here is we've had a dereliction of duty and an overstepping of the authority by the Biden administration and other, I'm sure, leftist administrations prior. We know that happened during Obama and Trump got smart by, by, you know, Trump 2.0 when it comes to fighting the administrative state and bit by bit, he is undoing their soft power agenda.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He's, he now knows like where the soft spot in the belly is and he's sticking the knife in and trying to get back our funds and stop this crazy agenda that nobody voted for. That's been rolling forward. Administration under administration doesn't matter whether it's a Republican or Dem at the top. And man, are they pissed. Now they're like, now it's on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Now you're actually going to things we care about, which is like our slush funds. So I think he will prevail on the law front, on the law fair. But man, it's going to be a slugfest. And in the meantime, they are staying on the offense, which is good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Like Pam Bondi yesterday, she announced on the heels of announcing they're suing Illinois for being a sanctuary state and Chicago as sanctuary city, saying you can't do that. There's, you know, thanks to the supremacy clause, you actually do have to work with us on federal laws. You can't actively undermine us on housing illegals and not turning over illegals that you know are illegals.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Now she filed a lawsuit against New York State, including Governor Kathy Hochul, for similar reasons. When it comes to illegals in particular, she's taking issue with the fact that they're issuing illegals driver's licenses. And then when the feds call up saying, do you have an illegal immigrant by the name of whatever, Julio something?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Instead of saying, oh yeah, we have him right here at the Roosevelt Hotel, which is where- Lakin Riley's would-be murderer stayed on the taxpayer's dime. Instead of saying, yeah, he's at the Roosevelt, we'll go ahead over. Or even in New York jail, at Rikers, for having committed a crime, they say, we're not going to tell you. And then they notify the illegal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
New York then calls the illegal at the Roosevelt or notifies them at Rikers to say, Hey, FYI, the feds are looking for you. So if they can flee, they do. And what happened with Lake and Riley's, uh, murderer? I don't know that that notification happened with him, but he was staying at the Roosevelt on our dime. And then on our dime, we flew him down South.

And that's where he murdered Lake and Riley in Georgia, all funded by us. So she is trying Pam Bondi now to stay on offense. In addition to having, she's the one who's going to have to defend all this bullshit happening against Elon, against treasury, against all these programs that they're trying to look into.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Now she's also trying to stay on offense by going after Illinois, by going after New York. And she's going to have these other battles on her hands as they continue in places like Maine and Minnesota. And there's a third state that I can't remember right now that are saying they're not going to comply with the gender laws. executive orders or president Trump's yeah.

And to California or even the federal district court judges ruling, which applies nationwide that Biden's changes to title nine are void and illegal, which means boys cannot vote. play in girls sports in K through 12 education, because it's, it's a discriminate and that's a statute that protects girls in sports and their right to equal participation.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Anyway, what we have is open flouting of the law by the Democrats. I mean, it's ubiquitous flouting coast to coast. And I mean, it's, I guess it's a great thing. It's being exposed in the way it is. But I think most people, you guys tell me in the audience will tell me are like, wow, it's a lot. My head hurts.
The Megyn Kelly Show

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Yeah, it could be generational. That's a very good point. By the way, since we are relentlessly factual here at the MK show, the trans opera was in Columbia. The DEI musical was in Ireland. But to your point, DEI musical in Ireland is really, now we're getting even closer to what we see on Riverdance. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So that covers the landscape, which I hope the audience appreciates is a confusing landscape, but hopefully we've summarized it to a level you can grasp. It's hard work to figure out what's happening with the lawfare and Doge and all the cutting and so on. But the bottom line is Trump's winning. His executive powers will be affirmed as they have been bit by bit in these lower courts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And I think if this thing goes up to the Supreme Court, any of these things, testing what Trump has the power to do, Only in the most extreme cases are they going to slap his hand because the Supreme Court has no enforcement mechanism. This has been the truth about the Article 3 courts from the dawn of the Constitution.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
They're all afraid because they really don't have any real way of making the executive branch comply. It's kind of like a... Because we said so, a situation for a parent. And because of separation of powers, everybody has obeyed the courts since the dawn of time. I mean, that's for the most part, that's just the respect that we have.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
But all those Article 3 judges need to be very careful because if they push the executive too far- especially this executive, they will trigger a constitutional crisis that will leave them feckless and powerless in a dangerous and provocative way. And while some of these federal district court judges are truly too stupid to understand that. I mean, we saw all these DEI hires under Obama.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I think you should close in. Seriously. This is disrespectful. Holmes, you should move on over. We'll just shoot the three of you. Fuck Smug. He can come to the next one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
We saw some of these confirmation hearings that get through. These judges were absolute idiots. They didn't understand anything about the Constitution, but they had the right DEI profile. And so they got confirmed by a Democrat-controlled Senate. So some are idiots, but the Supreme Court is not idiotic. and it is still controlled by the conservatives, and they will do the right thing in the end.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So proceed at your own peril. Proceed at your own peril, lower court judges and Democrats. You will rue the day in the end. And that leads me... Okay, first I wanted to say this, because I'm about to go to McConnell, your old boss. But I did want to make the point about the FBI leaking, maybe, according to, you know, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan. They think it was the FBI who leaked that...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
they were about to raid that Colorado apartment complex, Ashbrook, that we were talking about, and gave a heads up to gang members so they could get out and Tom Holman couldn't get them. Aren't you so glad that we have Kash Patel coming in as the head of MSI now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Every soundbite I've ever heard from him, I'm now like, shoot it into my veins, right? He's got swagger. He can be kind of an asshole, but like in a good way. And he won't take crap from anybody. I'm like, run, run. Don't walk to FBI HQ, Kash Patel. Actually, wait, we have for the audience members who don't know him as well. Here's a little bit of Kash Patel on Sean Ryan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Let's wait until he gets his ears in, and then now we're going to figure out why he's late again. Now, Smug, you understand that The Megyn Kelly Show has millions, millions of listeners, and we're one of the top shows in the country, both overall and certainly within news. What is it about making the 12 o'clock deadline that seems impossible for you?

OK, so let's switch to McConnell, because I have to say I'm not one of those rabid McConnell haters. I'm not. And I know there are a lot on Team Trump and I get I get it. Totally get it. But I like I personally I can't get over all the good he did for the country when it comes to Article three judges. and the Supreme Court.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
We would not have the Supreme Court that we have if it weren't for Mitch McConnell. He is a true blue conservative, dyed-in-the-wool Republican. But he hates Trump, and Trump hates him. And this has turned into a problem for Republicans and Trump in the country. And now he's voted against Hegseth, Tulsi, and RFKJ, which leads us where?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
On Mitch McConnell, guys, I hate to put you on the crosshairs because I know, you know, you know, it's a fair question.

If it were spiteful, Holmes, if it were spiteful, he would have voted against Rubio.

Yeah, he's more like a National Review Republican still. That's right. Those guys, too. That's right. They they don't they actually some have TDS. But like Rich Lowry, he's great. He doesn't have TDS. He actually can see Trump pretty clearly, but he disagrees with him on a few things. And he's constantly defending him on many other things. But yeah, I don't think he's a Tulsi fan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Again, again. I don't get mad after the first time, but this is a pattern. Next time, you're banned. That's it. We have banned people for not making their hits. They're very popular people who continue to fuck us over. Sorry. I'm in a mood today. It's crazy. I'm actually not irritated at you, Smug. I love you. But you should be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I don't actually don't remember. But I know the editors have not backed Tulsi and they have not backed RFKJ. So I take your point. I actually think that's pretty interesting. And that's a position he's allowed to have. I mean, he's how many years of public service does the guy have?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
But when you find yourself on the opposite end of Trump, especially as a Republican like he is, you know, the party will turn on you. That's what's happening to him. And I hate to see it because I think he's a good man. I think he's a principled man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And the party apparatus is just like turned on him because he seems like a Trump antagonist, even though like Trump said all the mean things about his wife. I mean, it's like... It's complicated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Because we try very hard to avoid getting too deep into the budget here on the MK show for all sorts of reasons. I refer you back to my high school guidance counselors. College recommendation for me. It was my college recommendation. Megan does well in English and social studies. Math and science aren't Meg's thing. In my recommendation. Who writes that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Anyway, so I try to avoid the math when I can. But what's going to happen with the budget is going to be probably the most consequential thing of the Trump presidency.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And the thing about budget reconciliation is... The Democrats can't block that. They don't need 60 votes. The Republicans don't need 60 votes to get a vote on basically financial matters, on the budget. They only need a majority of 51. And they have that. They have 53 Republican senators, so they can afford to lose a couple. They actually only need 50 because they have J.D.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Vance who could break a tie. But they've got a majority, so they should be able to get the budget through that the Republicans want. unless some go rogue. And you're saying Mitch McConnell could be the stalwart that keeps, because it will be controversial. They'll be shoving a lot into that reconciliation bill because they don't need a 60 vote, you know, 60 votes in the Senate to get
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
cloture, meaning a vote on it at all. They have a low threshold to pass it. So they're going to shove a lot of stuff in there that they want. It's going to be controversial, which will cause some more moderate Republicans to try to peel off. And your point is it's in that moment in which Mitch McConnell's true influence in the Senate could prove pivotal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I'm irritated at the lawfare that is being unleashed against Trump's agenda. at every turn. And now it's like this administration is having to play whack-a-mole in the courts instead of just enacting the people's will. Every day it's another lawsuit to try to stop what Trump clearly has the power to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Well, that is very interesting. Do you see... I don't really want to get too deep into it, but everyone's debating, should there be two bills or one? And I don't understand really what that's about. And I don't really want to, but could you explain it to me like I'm a third grader, what that debate is about?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And what I see after the whole morning researching this bullshit, okay, that's like three swears within the first three minutes. My apologies to the people who have their kids watching this, is that Trump's winning. He's winning these cases, right? But the Think of the distraction by his lawyers, by his federal agencies, everything Elon's doing. They're trying to stop bit by bit. We can't.

This small family business is making waves, and if you have not yet tried it, it is time to change that. This was the gift to give and receive this past Christmas. It's delicious, and it elevates everything it touches.

Eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, and more. It's got a kick, but it's not overwhelming. The flavor enhances food without overpowering it. The best part? It comes in sleek, stainless steel grinders that are easy to take with you anywhere, unlike messy hot sauce that runs out quickly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Firecracker Farm hot salt lasts and lasts, providing hundreds of servings from just one grinder, way more bang for the buck. There are plenty of blends to choose from and refills are available. So for those who find it a bit too spicy, keep this in mind. If you mix it with some regular sea salt, you will tame the heat perfectly. do yourself a favor and head on over to firecracker.farm.

And here's the kicker. Use code MK at checkout for 10% off your order. Don't wait. This offers only for a limited time. firecracker.farm and use code MK for 10% off. RFKJ is confirmed and I'm thrilled about this. I couldn't care less about his stance on abortion or even the trans issue because I think he will not undermine Trump's stance on those issues.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I believe he wants this job very badly and does not want to get fired. So he's not going to undermine Trump's agenda on those items and Trump's been really clear on those items. I do care about chronic disease, our children, our food supply, conflicts of interest at the FDA, the disgusting CDC, FDA, NIH, and he's going to run roughshod over all those in a great way. He's the Kash Patel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He is to these organizations what Kash Patel is to the FBI, and we desperately need it. And I have to say there's something, I don't know, kind of sweet and kind of emotional about it for me because I'm just going to take you back to spring of 2022. All right, first, actually, I'm going to go back further.

Joe Biden, during the COVID pandemic, when he was censoring us all, those of us on the right who had questions about anything, got censored, how COVID started, are the vaccines safe, all that stuff. And there was this crazy ass day at the White House where they read a list of the so-called disinformation dozen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And it was people who were questioning his dogma, you know, at his, the CDC's, the NIH's, almost all of which turned out to be false. And big tech went along with the censorship. Here is a clip of that day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Okay. So RFKJ was at the top of the disinformation dozen list. And that was July of 2021. He dropped his book on the real Anthony Fauci, which even I was like, I don't trust him. I'm not going to read that book. And then my friend in this great moment when we were skiing was like, you know, you might want to give it a try.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And all Elon's doing right now is trying to get information. What is the Treasury paying out to whom? All of Trump's cabinet heads like Treasury EPA out there, like what what grants have we given in the in the waning days of the Biden administration and to whom against the taxpayers wish? It's just boondoggle. They've just been like, throwing money off of a sinking ship, the Biden administration.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And I was like, well, you might want to be careful because garbage in, garbage out. And she's like, I mean, I love this woman. She's very smart and she's not some nutcase. And she was like, you know, maybe just take a look. So I trusted her. I did start to take a look. And I was like, well, this is actually kind of interesting. I don't like Fauci, so I'm kind of open-minded to it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
One thing led to another. And I asked my team to take a look at this book and then start taking a look at RFKJ. And then what we did was we started calling all of his worst critics. And hearing all the terrible things they had to say about him and then calling other people like going down the line, try to figure out whether they sounded like people we trust and we should listen to or not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And long story short, they sounded much more like agenda driven Biden supporters who didn't want discussions about lab leaks and so on. And we decided to invite him on the show. So it was the spring of 2022, March of 2022. I was going through this terrible thing where my son, at the time, we were skiing... tore his spleen in three places. He was only eight. Yeah. And it was like serious.

He was in the ICU for a week. It was this whole, it's still my number one or number two most watched video ever. I went on the air. I just had to talk about it because it was like, I'm in the midst of this. I'm just going to share with you what's happening. And that was the week I had to tape the raps for the RFKJ interview that we had done, but we did it and we got it out there. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He came out, he sounded so reasonable. All right, so here's how he sounded that day. And I remember we talked about like his voice issue and he was like, oh, I have this condition and I'm sorry, my voice actually isn't doing that well today, has good days and bad days.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And then he kind of made a point about how he was still a Democrat, but he was a bit of a disaffected Democrat when he looked around at his own party. Listen here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He had been banned from all social media platforms, virtually all. I think maybe one allowed him. At that point, nobody would talk to him. I think Tucker had spoken to him and nobody else. He specifically complained that he couldn't get on Joe Rogan. He just wasn't getting any doors open because, like my own bias, most people were looking at him thinking he's a kook.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
That's all we ever heard about him. And it seemed universal. So, you know, people have busy lives. They don't really spend a lot of time trying to rehabilitate some random figure. And we had a very contentious, but robust and great four hours together, half about vaccines, half about personal. And I really came to like and respect him. And shortly thereafter, doors started to open for him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
People felt like they could put him on. And that interview lived on all platforms. It didn't get deplatformed or demonetized or clipped anywhere. Not on TikTok, not on Insta, not on YouTube, nowhere. It lived everywhere. And it was the beginning of a resurgence for him that ultimately resulted in him running for president. Two years later, he came back on the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007

Trump and Elon are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's hold on. Let's just see. We don't approve this and we can stop it. The Democrats sue them saying you have to allot the funds because Biden said so or Congress said so. And you're not even allowed to access who's getting paid what by whom in some of these agencies. And And bit by bit, Trump is winning and will continue to win.

Oh, that was all so silly. And I'm thrilled to see you out there with your message and doing so well as you should be. That whole thing was so nonsensical. And now here we are in February of 2025, and that man has just been confirmed by a majority of the Senate losing only Mitch McConnell on the Republican side, 52-48.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
to be our next, not just any position, but Secretary of Health and Human Services. It's been a monumental comeback for him. And he did it through his own hard work and refusal to stay quiet and refusal to stay down when he was blacklisted by the White House as a disinformation officer. And

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And, you know, I really think I feel so hopeful, you guys, because this whole movement, this Maha movement is his. And that's why Trump put him in this position. I think he really did help Trump get elected. And I'm thrilled he has the green light to start enacting true reform. What do you guys make?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He's got ideas. Like maybe we should test them, kick them around a bit. You know, I was going to say it's not just him, but like, I don't think Tulsi would have been confirmed if it weren't for digital media, independent media. No question. I don't know about cash. Maybe not him either. And definitely not RFKJ.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
But this is the most subversive shit. Okay, that's four. That's four within the first four minutes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Even, you know, Tucker had him on his podcast that he was doing over on Fox nation, but they wouldn't let him on Fox news channel. Like RFKJ would still be in the, you know, Off to the sidelines if it weren't for independent media. And there was no way he could rehabilitate himself without independent media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And I think the same is true of Tulsi, where she was rejected by the Republican establishment. It's amazing. This is a victory, I think, for anybody who supports Maha and the revolutionary things happening when it comes to public health. But it's also, it's a victory for people in our lane. And thank you for saying the nice things about me helping you guys at Ruthless. But here's the truth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I have helped and promoted a lot of podcasts and podcasters, and not everybody takes off, guys. You guys are celebrating this great 500th episode and have so many fans because you're amazing. People love the way you tackle the news and your good humor and what a camaraderie you have between the four of you. And I'm one of them.

Who would like to kick it off on that?

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Well, you need the Democrats helped more than that, even because, you know, when I was at Fox and then for that year at NBC, I was more in the center. I was like definitely center right now. I think I'm I'm pretty conservative. I mean, I just am now. I mean, the earth has shifted such that I think I have to say, yes, I by today's standards, you'd call me conservative. But that's thanks to them.

You know, what they did to me, they were vicious. They're complete assholes. Their woke ideology completely radicalized me against them. And I love that. It empowered me in a way that allowed me to see the truth about them. You know, that was very helpful to me. Like, I wouldn't undo it if I could because it really helped me understand who I was dealing with over there.

All right, now, Abby did find my recommendation, my high school recommendation. Okay, so you guys, I'll just read you this one. It's literally just a little paragraph at the end. Truly, this is all I had. Nobody wrote anything else. Look at the way we get our kids into college these days. I haven't yet had to fight this battle, but soon, I'm sure, because I have a freshman in high school.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Right. And literally, I didn't even write a private letter. There was no, there was nothing. It's my guidance counselor. He had to write it. And here I'm going to read to you the first paragraph of this thing. The rest is just perfunctory, but he writes, um, Meg Kelly is a solid student who has taken a strong program in high school.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Her areas of strength seem to be in language arts and social studies. Meg loves to write and has a real interest in politics and government. Currently, her goal is to become a political journalist. OMG.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Megan has had to work much harder and achieved less success in math and science.

In my recommendation. He begged you. What is happening, Mr. Villa? He says, however, her willingness to struggle with these subjects, which are difficult for her, is positive, as is the way she handles herself when she experienced difficulty. Meg knows how to ask for help or take appropriate steps when she encounters a problem. She perseveres in situations and bounces back from adversity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
All right, Mr. Villa, you landed it. But I mean, did we have to point out the math and science problems in the recommendation letter?

So you were normal. It's good. I like a red-blooded American man with a bunch of testosterone. They're back. We're back, baby. So speaking of red-blooded American men with testosterone, Trump, in the news for many things, including he is now the chair of the Kennedy Center Board, which is this cultural arts institution called
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
That is, so far as I can tell, I don't really know what they do, but every year you get like the awards and you see all these old musicians and actors and other people who you may or may not like, but they're usually on the left getting some sort of recognition by this institution. And Trump... like fired half of the people who were involved in it and replaced them with Trump loyalists.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And like Usha Vance is now on the board, which is great. I'm thrilled she's there. And then declared himself having won unanimous support to become the new chairman of And CNN airs last night their exclusive audio of Trump speaking to the Kennedy senator board, trying to, you know, get everybody psyched up because it's not all Trump loyalists now. He didn't fire everybody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
There's still some like old timers still sitting on it. I don't know what led to the firing of some and the firing and the non-firing of others. But here's Trump describing how things are about to change over there. It's not 17.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Everyone would donate to that. All those rich fat cats. But, you know, you're not wrong, Duncan. Trump is very culturally astute and experienced. We pulled just one example. It's from the 2005 Emmy Awards featuring Donald Trump and actress Megan Mullally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
We have something from SNL. Stand by. It's from 2015. I don't think that's the one, but it's him doing a parody of Drake's hotline bling. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So that explains what's happening, because what's happening is people are resigning. Like the remaining riffraff are, you know, taking their ball and going home because they don't they wouldn't be on any board of which Donald Trump was the chair. Yeah. Sandra Rimes, you know, she created Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, Super Woke. She was treasurer for the Kennedy Center board appointed by Obama.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And she resigned. She resigned shortly after Trump was elected as head saying, please be advised that as of today, Chandra Rimes has resigned from the board of the Kennedy Center. Meanwhile, she did not. She did not express any outrage whatsoever. whatsoever when the Kennedy Center was doing drag shows. That was all just fine with her.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
This is the same woman who expressed her public empathy for Jussie Smollett. Very, very upset. So she tweeted, sending love, healing, and support for Jussie Smollett. We all have a responsibility to rise up against the ignorance and hate out there. If you know who did this, report them to the police.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
She's got a long history of cutting tail and running when Elon took over X. She left not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned by, well, we don't miss you, Chandra. She was on the board of Time's Up, that organization which imploded because it would only help women who'd been harassed by Republicans, but not anyone who'd been harassed by a Democrat. So that's Chandra.

She's decided to leave, as has... singer and songwriter, Ben folds. You guys might not remember Ben folds, but he was the lead singer of Ben folds five. And he did sing a song, which I love called the luckiest, which I sang to Doug when he turned 40 at his 40th birthday party, believe it or not. I learned how to play it on the guitar.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I had secret lessons in my office and then I sang it to him and I'm not a singer, but I loved Doug a lot as I still do. And Ben is all about, you know, when you don't like something, get out of it. Cause he's been divorced five times, but really has a judgment on Trump's morality and, uh, is piecing out of the Kennedy center. What do you guys make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Yeah, you know, you get a sense. And five times. Now that I think about it. That's right.

Good riddance. They're like, what's going to happen? We're going to be giving Lifetime Achievement Awards to Clint Eastwood and Sly Stallone and Jon Voight. I'm out. Hard pass. All because of their politics. You can do that all day long to somebody on the left. And the right will just suck it up and say, fine, he sings good music. It's fine. I don't care. But you do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
You honor somebody who's actually a campaign for Trump or expressed openly that they're a conservative. And it's a hard no. Ben does fold. And Chandra rhymes, too.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So I can't wait to see what happens at the Kennedy Center. I think it could be actually super fun. Now, speaking of celebrities, Jimmy Kimmel was very upset that Donald Trump took a shot at Taylor Swift. Trump was making fun of the fact that she got booed openly at the Super Bowl and he got cheered to the high heavens. And Jimmy Kimmel didn't much like that and had the following to say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Okay. By the way, I was there all the way through and she was gone. She was missing in action for most of the second half. So I don't know what he's talking about. Trump left at his previously designated time, which was, I think, 8.02. That had been scheduled and that is when he left.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And it's a little harder, Jimmy, when you're the president of the United States, because if you leave when everybody else is leaving, you completely F them over because no one can move anywhere. It's total gridlock in the city. Hello? Hello?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Right? Like, please like me, Taylor. Please pat me on the head like a good little boy. I don't know. I really think that Taylor Swift's magic has left the building. I think people are over her. It's not that she doesn't have any fans left. She does. She'll still sell lots of records. But I think she peaked and is already on her way down because of overexposure and she got political.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Those two things really hurt her. It's too much. There's a reason you don't see everyday pictures of Angelina Jolie going to Starbucks or going to work out. It's not because she never does those things. It's because she doesn't call the paparazzi and have them photograph every time she does, or Julia Roberts, for that matter, who I don't love, but she doesn't do this to herself. J-Lo,
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Every turn she got overexposed and she damaged her own brand. And the same happened to Taylor. She said yes to everything. She was too out there at the heiress tour in your face at every turn, every chiefs game dominating the NFL. She didn't have to sit. at every Chiefs game right in the front row when she knew the cameras would get her. Truly. I mean, I was just in one of these suites.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
You can sit toward the back and you don't have to be on the camera if you don't want to. She wanted, she wanted to be in the spot. She wanted the cameras to cut to her. They did. She ate it up and now we're sick of her. She ruined football and we're pissed off she got political. It's not just about the Eagles fans who are very vocal and do hate her, but it's beyond that.

Okay. I'll see what I can do. I know some people that will be able to make this happen. Yeah. I mean, the world does want more Ashbrook. Who are we kidding? They do. So how was that Ashbrook? You were the first... Well, it's not just podcaster.

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
It's like digital media, you know, independent media who now officially have a seat in the White House press briefing room, the most relevant seat there is. And you were the very first one there and the very first person in the seat to ask a question. You did it great. You stood up. You went for it. You were merciless. How did it feel?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
There was one holdout on the Republican side. Again, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Now he's gone against Hegseth, he's gone against Tulsi, and he's gone against RFKJ, even when here with RFKJ, Murkowski and Collins, and with Tulsi, those two voted for her. So he's become the chief antagonist to Trump among Republicans, but nobody's following him.
The Megyn Kelly Show

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
The nerve of that press corps to have any arrogance whatsoever, right? To think they're better than, as Ashbrook calls it, the nerve.

Now we're keeping it very spicy. Suckled at the teat. Okay. I feel like I'm following Kanye West's X-Feed. Okay, my eyes have not recovered from what I saw over the weekend. Here are just a couple of examples, okay, I'm going to give you. You recall that they sued to stop Elon, his so-called fork in the road offering, saying to all these federal fat employees, some are skinny. I mean, fat cat.

Guys, a couple of things in cultural news. Some shocking news from Teddy Mellencamp, who's the daughter of John Mellencamp. And she happens to be one of the stars of Real Housewives of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills. And I'm sure you guys are not big fans of the franchise, but I am. And she's one of the sweet ones. She's not...
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Of course, she gets drawn into these fights that they all get drawn into, but she's been one of the more sensible characters on this show for many years now. And John Mellencamp is definitely a leftist, but I don't care. I love his music. I think he made great songs and I love his sound. And this poor woman who is the mother of three young children has been battling melanoma now for many years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And I always pay attention to I mean, to anybody's health stories, but melanoma I live in fear of because I too am very fair. Thank God I've never had melanoma, but you gotta worry about it if you're fair at all. And she's been battling melanoma for a number of years now. She posted publicly not long ago, a picture of her back, which has like almost a Z-shaped scar across the whole back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Look at this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
From the numerous melanomas that she's had to have removed time and time again. And you know, you don't mess around with melanoma, right? Like that's, you got to get very serious about that shit. And she has been, she's been all over it. And she's been very vocal about checking, having your skin checks and all that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And unfortunately this week she revealed that she was in the hospital as of yesterday. She said, I'm in the hospital because I had very bad headaches. And it turns out they found five brain tumors, two of which they were gonna remove surgically and three of which were smaller and they were gonna attack with radiation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And they did not reveal whether these things, I think they just did the surgery yesterday or the day before. So they didn't say whether these are malignant brain tumors, but she's had 17 or 18 or 19 melanomas and they're going to use radiation to get the other three. So it doesn't sound great. And I guess I just wanted to mention it because I do think like skin cancer is one of the few cancers
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
There are a couple of others, but you can potentially catch this one early with skin checks. And that's in no way shaming anybody who hasn't caught it early. I just want to remind people, it's so easy to get caught up in your daily life and you don't want to think about these things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Because whenever you think about these things, whether it's you guys getting a prostate check or us going to the OBGYN, you know, it makes you think about the bad things that could happen and you kind of either skip it or postpone it or try not to do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And skin checks are also compromising because you're naked and you're in front of some doctor who's checking out all your parts and like the really good ones really get up in there. And it's a little like, whoa, whoa, I think the doc and I are married. Um, it's important to do because that stuff, you really can potentially find it early and then you get it cut out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
You know, if, when it's still localized, you can get it cut out. And I, I've said this before, I've never had a melanoma, thank God, but I did have a basal cell right here on my left temple. And, uh, they, yeah, it was in the beginning and I always, I'm vigilant about these skin checks. They found it early. They took it off and now I just have a small scar there. Um,

But anyway, life is short, you know, the mother of three kids, very public figure in a profession that, you know, yes, contentious and sort of fun, but like kind of joyous, you know, I think she has generally a good life. And it's just so sad. And our days are just, you know, you get reminded the time is limited, make the most of it.

The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
She just always seemed like somebody who is more on the sunny side and less vituperative than some of the women who get caught cast on that show. And her dad's brought us all a lot of joy in his songs, so on and so forth, all the best to her and her family in this journey. Um, okay. On a much lighter note, we got to spend a minute on Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I know the ruthless fellas have been all up in this business and I mean, no, but seriously, have you followed it at all?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Exactly. Okay. So she, for those of you, just a quick two liner, for those of you not following it, they started this movie. It ends with us about domestic violence. It was his movie that he bought the rights for from the woman who wrote the book, Colleen Hoover. And then he managed to convince Blake Lively to star in it with him. And. All hell broke loose. She claims he sexual harassed her.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And then by the time they premiered the movie, they weren't even speaking to each other. She made him stay in the basement. And Ryan Reynolds turned on him, too. He and then she claimed that he unleashed a bad PR campaign against her. And he claims none of that is true. There was absolutely no harassment. Those are made up claims. She rested his movie away from him.

from him and decided to try to hurt him with petty made up out of context complaints when he pushed back even in the mildest way and that she and her husband are bullies. And now it's resulted in vicious cross litigations against both of them.

The New York times is being sued for defamation by Baldoni through his lawyer, Brian Friedman, who's also my attorney has been on the show and it's as vicious as it can get. In Hollywood, my own position is she's absolutely ruined her brand. She has started a fight she cannot win. She does appear like an Amber Heard to me. I have yet to see one of her complaints borne out.

We'll pay you through March, eight months of payment, which is more than you would normally get. And, you know, peace out. And it turns out now the final number is 75,000 bureaucrats took the deal. So we're 75,000 people slimmer in the federal bureaucracy ranks, but not before they tried to sue him. This federal employees union sued him to say, you can't offer that. I mean, it's ridiculous.

In fact, all of the ones I've seen have been undermined by his hardcore proof in text messaging and so on that puts a totally different light on her horrific allegations. Then you see what she actually said and wrote. It's very different. She called herself Khaleesi and said Ryan Reynolds and we believe Taylor Swift were her dragons.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And she's got the best dragons because they'll fight on behalf of her friends too. Now she and Taylor are reportedly on the outs because Taylor Swift is like, bitch, I'm nobody's dragon. That's unconfirmed, but it's out there.

And today we see some evidence now that Blake Lively may have a history of not being upfront when she gets cast in a movie of her secret desires to actually play a much bigger role than that of lead actress. Here she is at the 2022 Forbes Power Women's Summit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So she's a serial fraudster. That's called fraud when you pretend you want to do the one thing and you'll do the thing they're hiring you for. But all along, you have secret plans to do something very, very different that's above your pay grade. And she finally bumped into someone who was weak enough and not famous enough to stop her, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
This Justin Baldoni, most people had never even heard of him. He'd been in like one series. He certainly wasn't at Ryan Reynolds level fame, nevermind Blake Lively. And, uh, and she bullied him into giving her the movie where she did her own cut. They released the cut of the movie. He, he didn't even get to see it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
He was the director of the film, the producer of the film, the guy who got the rights to the film in the one who's supposed to be in control. He didn't even get to see it. He was in the basement at his own movie premiere. And then she had the nerve because she had like two minutes of bad publicity when the film hit to come out and try to blame it all on him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
None of it was just due to the fact that she seems like a rather shitty person. Your thoughts?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Right. She tries to make it sound like a female empowerment thing, you know, like they just wanted me to be an actor. Well, yes. I mean, maybe someday you could be a producer or a screenwriter, but no one contracted with you to do that here. And that's another allegation, Holmes, is that she started to rewrite scenes that nobody had asked her to rewrite. What?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
One other piece of it. So she... is accused of having turned the whole cast of It Ends With Us against Justin. By the time they premiered the movie, Ryan Reynolds had unfollowed him on Insta, so had Blake, so had the rest of the cast. Now, you tell me, if you're an unknown actor in this film and you know that Blake and Ryan have turned on the no-name Justin Baldoni, who are you going to follow?
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
No one's being forced to take it. It was a voluntary thing. You can't offer that because you don't technically have funding through March or past March, whatever, to get us to eight months. That was the argument. Anyway, they just lost that. Now, a federal judge is allowing it. The so-called fork in the road offer stands. The final number of retirees is 75,000, and Elon won that fight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
You know, these are weak, feckless people out in Hollywood. They have no spine. So, of course, they all unfollowed him and chose Team Blake. Including, by the way, Colleen Hoover, the one who really owed him a debt of gratitude because he bought the rights to her book. She went Team Blake. Well, guess what she just did this week? She scrubbed all of her social media of Blake Lively.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
She had already stepped away from Justin. Now she's scrubbed all of her social media from Blake Lively because I think she's starting to realize she made a mistake. Okay, but here's the other piece of news that came out this week. A 2009 Glamour UK interview by Blake Lively. She was on the cover at the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And in her interview, she admitted to trying to poison the cast of Gossip Girl, which is where she made her name, against her co-star, Penn Badgley, who played her love interest, Dan Humphrey, on the show. She wrote, she said, at first, I was so upset that they had hired him. I actually poisoned the whole cast against him. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And she goes on to say, but then they noticed that he wasn't a jerk and was actually a nice, charming person. And almost immediately I realized it too, but it took me about a week to admit it. And here's the thing. Reports were that Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, who played best friends on that show, were not friends during the six season run of the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley and other Gossip Girl co-stars have remained silent in the wake of the Baldoni legal drama. Neither Meester nor Badgley follow Lively on Instagram. Members of the jury, what does this lead you to conclude?

RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
That's right. You know, it reminds me of when I was at NBC and this is before everyone hated Meghan Markle. You know, this is the honeymoon phase where everybody loved her before she decided she was a victim. And all the cast of Suits came on to talk about her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And behind the scenes, let's just say, they weren't quite as cheery and smiley about this person with whom they'd spent years on the set as they were with the outward-facing interviews. And talking to the hair and makeup crew about what they said behind the scenes was very enlightening.

Then there was the next one where they sued the Trump administration. 20 blue states challenged this OMB directive. They're the ones who kind of run personnel at the federal level. They challenged the OMB directive to freeze federal funding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
OMB said, let's just we're not just going to stop paying like all all this money out into all these plans until we can figure out what we're spending money on. And he got sued for doing that. And then the Trump administration just won that one, too, because they issued a T.R.A. T.R.O. stopping. they stopping the stopping of the funding. So it had to resume.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And at the next hearing, the judge said, nevermind, I'm going to lift my temporary restraining order. You can do what you want. So that's going to stop as well. You can't force Trump to spend money on programs that he doesn't know what's in them or whether he approves of them. This is all within the executive branch, all within the executive branch. So he, they lost that one too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
And you know, bit by bit, they're going to lose most of these. I said the other day, I think it'll be nine out of 10. They won't lose all, but they're losing most of them. Meanwhile, they're slow rolling the Trump agenda and you know, Trump's irritated. He, oh, there's the other thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
So he went and he clawed back that, what was it, 59 million that we gave to New York City to pay for the illegal immigrants to enjoy their stay at the Roosevelt Hotel and otherwise. We clawed it back. Kristi Noem got it out of the New York City coffers and said- We're taking it back now. New York's going to sue the federal government for, quote, stealing our money, our New York City taxpayers.

That's our money. That's the federal government. It's just it's not going to be nonstop lawfare. And you guys know how mired that shit can get. It can just take up all of your energy.

I mean, he's voting like a Democrat, and I'm not sure exactly what he's up to. We have the perfect guest to ask, though, today. Yesterday, Tulsi Gabbard was sworn in as the president's director of national intelligence. We mentioned that to you. We will get into the Trump cabinet plus an insurrection at the Kennedy Center as Trump makes America hot again.

Right. Oh, for sure. These cuts are going to have majority support. And so far, the polling shows they have majority support. Elon's struggling somewhat in his approval ratings, depending on who you ask, which pollster you ask. But people like Doge and they like cuts and they're not on the side of the federal bureaucrats and they love Trump. I mean, his numbers are great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK Confirmed, Trump Makes Kennedy Center "Hot" Again, and Unearthed Blake Lively Video, with Ruthless Podcast | Ep. 1007
I mean, Elon's the forward facing, you know, sort of picture of all this. So he's a controversial guy just because of X and so on. So liberals don't like him. To your point, Smug, Trump said something very similar yesterday. He's had enough of the nonsense of funneling all this money to these left-wing causes, to these illegal immigrants, and not to actual Americans who are suffering.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. This morning, our staff, along with the world, woke up to incredible news involving a story we brought to you on Monday. That ballerina we told you about, Ksenia Karolina, she's on her way home. It's unbelievable. It's a miracle.

The details of what happened to her are downright frightening. So she traveled to Russia for the first time in three years to visit her elderly grandmother. Her family still lives over there. First, she was detained for 16 hours at the airport for interrogation. She never even made it past the airport. Under suspicion, she might be some sort of a spy.

Well, and I mean, we have improved our respective positions on trade with numerous countries. There's no question. But we've also rattled the markets worldwide and sent a message that we might not be the most reliable trading partner. You know, we can do things like this. So, you know, was it worth it, I guess, is the question that we'll be looking at in the coming days.

You get the idea. So, look, I think that they may be benefiting from the fact that most people don't fully know what to believe. Right. Like I think most of Trump's fans are willing to give him a chance. And now his more elite sort of base who have millions in the stock market are very relieved. And by the way, every single one of them is declaring that it's thanks to them. It's amazing.

It's like, okay, what the Daily Mail reported is that he listened to Jamie Diamond of JPMorgan Chase, who's in his ear, and who's a very smart, sober guy who said, look, this is what's going to happen now. Now it's gotten really bad. And I'm sure he's listened to his top advisors like Besant too. But

Then she was released, but they kept her phone. And boy, oh boy, did they go through it. That's how they found this payment on her Venmo. And they found the receipt of this donation on Monday. And by the way, and then they charged her first. They accused her of hooliganism, hooliganism. That's what they charged. And then they upped the ante to treason.

They were mistaken. That was a mistake. You should not vote Trump in office because you want complete steadiness and no surprises. That's that. That was never. No, it's true. No. OK, but I take your point. I mean, the terrorists have really driven a wedge between two factions of the right factions that already existed. I do want to say this.

now we're getting grumbling from AOC, from Chris Murphy in Connecticut, that this is insider trading, that they believe that Trump somehow advised maybe his friends, whatever, to buy yesterday morning when the stocks were still low before he announced the deal. And they're absolutely right. He did that. He sent out a tweet telling everyone now is a good time to buy. And the

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
The Democrats want to turn it into a crime by Trump like secretly telling his friend. He told us all. We just, we didn't listen. Most of us were like, oh God, I don't even look at the market. At least that's how I felt. Anyway, here's a little bit of a sampling. I mean, the Democrats wanted the pause. They didn't like, that's what they said. They hated the tariffs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
After loving tariffs, now they hated tariffs because it was Trump tariffs, but they didn't like the pause either. Here's a little bit of that yesterday.

which you can go to jail for a long, long time for. Originally, it was like 15 years, and then they were talking about a life sentence. And they strong-armed her into copying a plea because she didn't want to go to jail forever. They were like, well, you can go to jail for maybe five years if you say you did this. And she didn't think she had any options.

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046

The women who are pushing that bill in the Senate, you know, they want permission basically to to vote from home while on maternity leave.

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And most of their Republican colleagues are like, what? No. And Trump was like, I don't know. I'm kind of for it. Makes sense to me. And that's another one where you might see all the Democrats who previously liked it just completely flip. Never mind. We have to be in there if he likes it. There's something we're missing about it. All right. So that's the terrorist.

We'll see how it all shakes out. I mean, like, honestly, I'm kind of over it. I'm kind of this is Mark Halperin's take. And he's as honest a broker as we're going to find. He writes 50 percent bond market, 25 percent weakness was hurting reconciliation odds, meaning Trump's budget that he's trying to get through with just Republicans and 25 percent rich people calling Trump.

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And he said it also known as 100%, uh, at, at secretary Scott Besson. So he's saying it was a combination of things, including the rich donors, the worries that, uh, in getting reconciliation and the budget bill passed and then the bond market 50%, which yeah, a lot of people were looking at that. Okay. I want to talk about some other stuff he's doing. So he has been
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
like cracking down a bit on those who attacked him. A couple of law firms, one law firm that hired one of his chief antagonists at Alvin Bragg's office. That guy, there was this guy who was jumping up and down saying, we've got to prosecute Trump, like criminally prosecute Trump for whatever's going on at his Trump company. And even Alvin Bragg was like, no, we don't have that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
We're going to go after him, but I don't think we can get his company. And that guy quit. He wrote a book about it. He quit in protest and he got hired by Paul Weiss. So Trump issued an executive order cracking down on Paul Weiss. Like, you know what? The government's not going to do business with you. We're just really not interested in a law firm like this being connected to the U.S. government.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
So she did, and they gave her a 12-year sentence. On Monday, I mean, literally four days ago, we had a long interview with Ksenia's boyfriend, Chris Van Yerden. Chris is a former international boxing organization welterweight world champion who retired from the sport last year to work full time on getting Ksenia home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And Paul Weiss got a bunch of calls from clients being like, if you can't do business with the government. We can't do business with you. Like, that's why we're using you on various mergers or acquisitions or what have you, or defenses. And, uh, Paul Weiss bent the knee immediately and went to president Trump and worked out a deal. They're going to make donations to organizations.

They're going to do pro bono work that he approves of. They didn't have to, but they did it and they came under fire for it. Perkins Coie, that's the one that represented the Hillary campaign and got Russiagate started. Same, but they did not. They're still litigating. They think this is illegal, what he's doing.

And now today, well, yesterday, we have Trump executive orders targeting two individuals by name. And I'll just read to you here from Politico. The directives that he signed on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to scrutinize Chris Krebs, who ran Trump's cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, and former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor. Who is Miles Taylor?
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
The name may be familiar to the audience out there, though he originally didn't want it to be. He is... who's published in the New York Times as some sort of senior Trump official who's keeping Trump honest behind the scenes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And so what Trump has said is you guys are going to have your security clearances pulled and we're going to investigate, at least in the case of Miles, whether you used classified information for your book or in any other way. Okay. Okay. So the left wing is melting down over this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
He doesn't like Krebs, I think, because Krebs, he was fired by Trump via tweet, had been out there asserting that when Joe won in 2020, that quote, in every case of which we are aware, those claims of fraud either have been unsubstantiated or are technically incoherent. And then he authorized a joint statement
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
by many groups that said the election was secure, no indication of any votes being changed or stolen, which Trump wasn't happy with. And then he was a key witness for the J six select committee. So clearly this guy got on Trump's bad side. And now, I mean, he's having his, his security clearance pulled. They're saying in this executive order that, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
He's a significant bad faith actor who weaponized and abused his government authority. Trump, as he signed the order stripping Krebs security clearance and opening an investigation into his activities, repeated his claims that the election was, quote, rigged. And then same thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
So this guy, Miles, is going to be investigated, Taylor, to see whether he used classified information in writing his book and also see his security clearances. Why wouldn't these guys have already lost their security clearances? They haven't been working for the government in years. Miles quit in 2019. The other guy quit right before, right around the 2020 election.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
Like, why do we let these security clearances stay in place after these people leave government services? So that's one thing. But the real question I want to get to, Stu, is How do we feel about this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
Because you could argue that, you know, National Review argued in the case of the law firms, this is effectively a bill of attainder where the Congress or the president specifies like picks out an individual company or individual and declares them guilty of a crime and imposes a punishment without due process. Or is this perfectly fair game? Let's start there.

So what the judge found in allowing the case to go forward, to go to trial against NBC, Judge Lisa Godbey-Wood of the Southern District of Georgia, ruled that a jury under the facts alleged here could find that NBC and its employees acted with actual malice.

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
which is the standard that was gonna apply here, and said as follows, quote, NBC investigated this alleged whistleblower, like some whistleblower came out and said, he's doing this. NBC investigated the whistleblower letter's accusations. That investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some of them. NBC republished the letter's accusations anyway.

American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
Judge Wood wrote in a one hundred and eight page summary.

And the NBC behaved recklessly trying to paint him as evil. So what happened was they first put it in an NBC News article in September 2020, citing this alleged whistleblower's claim.

It's amazing because I NBC has a very well paid and well experienced standard and practices group that you can't get anything on the air without going through these people.

It was just I was so freshly off of that whole thing. I was like, I'm not doing that. I think I wound up reading like, and he denied it, which was a false denial because it happened.

They're generally tough over there about maintaining some semblance of fairness, especially on dicey legal matters, like a whistleblower coming out and saying something that is very clearly defamatory, if not true.

The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
It's because leftists are the ones who do these studies. And no leftist magazine, which is all of them, every magazine in the science field is controlled by leftists, will get published if they run a piece saying biological men have an advantage over women. That's the world we've been in for the past 15 years. And by the way, the studies aren't necessary anyway, because we have eyes.

It's somebody like Riley Gaines, who is actually fighting for women's rights or Peyton McNabb, the girl who at 16 in North Carolina was partially paralyzed by a volleyball, hit her by a male.

You know what this is like? This is like, what is Denise Brown complaining about that Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered? She became world famous and she's a big advocate now for domestic abuse.

Talk about being intentionally obtuse. She shouldn't have had to share with a man in anything in her sport at all. He wasn't entitled to be in that race, to have a trophy at all.

Because this was back in the let's celebrate the fact that there's a man posing as a woman in this race at all. So it was clearly she was reduced to second class citizen as the actual biological woman who won there. And the woman below Riley Gaines lost out because Leah Thomas was there and the woman below her and so on. Then he turns on a 16 year old. Now she's older.

Um, but, and now Trump's, and I was like, we're all doing that. But The thing about Russia is Russia's huge. Russia's actually a really important player on the world stage for a couple of reasons.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Yeah. It's so true. Like Trump has provided everyone with a roadmap of how to do it. If even Trump could get reelected after J six, after all the fascism claims and the Hitler claims and the American people spoke overwhelmingly saying, we don't care. We want a different way of living. We want to go back to basics here in America. We need a factory reset on this nonsense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Then there's a, there's a roadmap for other world leaders to say, I see what people want. We've been led astray going in the wrong direction. I want to show you this too. Um, Trump shook hands with Zelensky at the Elysee Palace. They were there with Emmanuel Macron on Saturday. And it was an interesting handshake.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Trump is famous or infamous for his handshakes, the power handshakes where he pulls you in. He loves to pull you in. He's holding him and holding him. Okay, so there we go. He held him. And now here's Macron next to him, the three of them. And here we go. This is back example where he pulls in Macron. There he goes. And then it turns into like...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
look holding he doesn't let go of him look at him he won't let go this is when he met with macron what is it with trump and the handshake what's happening look yeah look look look there he goes again elbow up now elbow up above above macron it's like clearly a sign of dominance love to get a body language on uh expert but what do you guys make of the handshake
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
I do want to tell you something funny about the handshake. My husband, Doug asked one of our friends who's CIA about the Trump handshake. And he showed us a way that like a man, I mean, he doesn't do this to women, but that a man can like stop the crushing grip and then pulling you in. It's like a maneuver that the CIA guys know, or like you can, you can Trump handshake. the dominant pull in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And we were like, oh, that's good. That's good. You know, we'll have to remember that. Not me, but Doug. And then we talked to Jack Carr, famous author and Navy SEAL. And he said, oh, no, that can easily be counteracted and showed us a double secret, triple secret move to counter the CIA move. So now, I mean, poor Doug has got a lot to remember.

I'm so grossed out by this reaction to the murder of this insurance company's CEO. And it's pretty widespread on the left how they are lionizing the alleged murderer. And I mentioned Taylor Lorenz because she's pretty indicative of it. She worked for The New York Times. She worked for The Washington Post.

She was fired by The Washington Post this fall when she posted on her Instagram, Joe Biden is a war criminal. When they chastised her for posting such a thing as a so-called reporter, she denied she had done it and claimed she'd been hacked. They fired her, not believing her excuse. And then a month or so later, she definitely posted on her social media, Joe Biden is a war criminal.

They're still a part of the Democrat party and they're vocal and they're not giving one inch to Taylor Lorenz is one example of that. But they're all over CNN and MSNBC in the wake of Penny, which is the other big story today, saying all the things you'd expect them to say about how we've normalized vigilantism. The same people, they see him as we're celebrating a vigilante in the case of Penny.

Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
But it is interesting. I mean, like, and then you move on, of course, to politicians where it's like, and certainly nobody's advocating this. I'm just saying that if you want to talk about a politician who's really had a massive effect on healthcare, the first person to come to mind would be Barack Obama. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.

If you like your doctor, you can keep your law, your doctor, which was a lie. And his Obamacare plan led to the loss of individual relationships between a patient and his doctor over and over and over again, a patient and her plan over and over and over.

I mean, how is it not a call for multiple assassinations? It's just such insanity. That's why I refuse to even have the discussion.

Okay, so what happened in that clip for the listening audience is that Casey Hunt, the anchor, chimes in, we've got to drop the banner to show them why. Like, show him his abs.

Good for Trump. I mean, he's exactly right that he's anticipating where this plan is going to meet significant pushback from the press, which is when there's a child to an illegal or a sympathetic woman who's married to or with an illegal. And Tom Homan is saying the illegal is going. And if you don't want to separate the families, you have the choice of going with them.

Thank you to Caitlin Clark for making our league relevant and so on. But instead, she's been bullied repeatedly by the players in this league. She's been assaulted physically. She's been scratched in the eye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And I mean, all this is on camera. We've covered it repeatedly on the show. So she gets this, honor. And all she has to do is continue staying above it. Thank you. I'm grateful. Love being in the WNBA. And I love my colleagues who I played with my teammates. That's it. Instead, she decides to go racial. And what she says is she feels the need to acknowledge her white privilege.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Basically, she's sorry she's white. She feels really bad about it, though, so you should give her a pass. And then she makes a point of saying the ones we really need to be celebrating are the black women on whose backs this league was built. which I have to tell you is so condescending.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
It's true that most of these black women have been bullying her and want her to understand it's their league. Hello, you don't own the league. Blacks don't own the league just like whites don't own tennis or golf. Nobody owns the league. Pete, this is America. Anybody can play if they're good enough. Um, but they want her on the knee.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
You'll bend the knee and you'll apologize for being white and you will suck up to the black women who built this league before you, or you will be beaten. You will be assaulted and you will be bullied with no friends. So she does it. She finally did it. She bent the knee, self-flagellated over white privilege and look at, look at the black women in this league.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And I have to tell you, if I were a black woman in that league, I think I'd say, screw you. Because don't treat me like I am the ugly stepsister and you are Cinderella and no prince is going to look at me unless Cinderella says, oh, give her a little time. Oh, put her in the spotlight for a moment. I would be offended, genuinely offended by her. Like, look over there. Look at them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
They're not white. They did a lot, too. And here's the other thing. It's totally insincere. And here's how you know it's totally insincere. Because if Caitlin Clark really felt uncomfortable in the spotlight as the newbie who's white, Because white people didn't build the league. She wouldn't have said yes to being Time Magazine's athlete of the year. So either walk the walk or don't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
But what you're doing here is trying to have it both ways. You're too cute by half. And you've managed to piss off your fan base. Go ahead and look at my Twitter feed and the comments under my tweet on this. She's lost thousands of fans, maybe more as a result of this. And you will never appease the race bullies in the WNBA ever because you're too popular. You're too talented and too white.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
That's it.

Here's the other thing, Duncan. Here's the other here's the other question. I don't remember Serena Williams apologizing for her blackness in tennis, which had been dominated mostly by whites. I don't remember Tiger Woods apologizing for his blackness in the, you know. whatever, PGA, which was dominated by whites. No one would even think of such a thing.

They celebrated this new figure in sports who maybe didn't look like all the other figures they knew. They thought it was great. He was to be celebrated. That's how normal people have responded to Caitlyn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
You know, imagine a world just we got to keep this going because it's like I'm so fired up about it. But imagine a world in which Serena and Venus take over tennis. They crush and the and the thought pieces that are being written are or the comments that they are required to say are. I just want to acknowledge that tennis was built on the back of white people like Chrissy Everett. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And Martina Navratirola and Billie Jean King. And, you know, I have black privilege in being here because of my whatever. However, she wants to attribute that it wasn't explained by Caitlyn either. Exactly how her white privilege got her some more attention in the league. That's the theory by some racists that the only reason we want to watch Caitlyn is because she's white.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And we can't stand watching the blacks, but we'll watch the white, which is absurd. She's by far the best. The stats prove it. That's why she's so popular. But in what world would we ever be comfortable saying to these black superstars, you better acknowledge the backs on whose bodies tennis and golf and whatever white sport you can think of was built. I mean, it's an absurdity.
The Megyn Kelly Show

What we know about Kaylin Clark is she's reportedly dating some very, very woke leftist. But what we know about her is she liked Taylor Swift's. endorsement of Kamala Harris. So she seems to be telegraphing something about her politics, even though she doesn't often tweet or post about politics.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
It seems pretty clear she was in that lane hoping Kamala Harris got elected, though when asked about it, she tried to play it off as she was just really in favor of people informing themselves about the issues and making sure they vote. Okay, sure. There isn't a Trump voter in the world that would have liked the Taylor Swift endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
So she definitely is a Democrat and probably a leftist who believes this crap. I have to think she believes in this crap. This is the first real window we are getting into the way she thinks. And I couldn't care less if she's a Democrat. As I've said many times, the people in my family are Democrats. A lot of people I love are Democrats. It's not about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
It's about this sick ideology and the fact that she bent both knees. She got down on both knees and begged for forgiveness for her whiteness and then was condescending to the black women in the league while she did it. It was an utter fail. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

Moreover... Tell it to the American families right now that are dealing with schools that are overrun by children from these foreign countries who are not here lawfully. And now in places like New York, you have to have a translator speak in the native tongue of all the children who are represented. So no matter where they're from, they can't even find enough translators. Never mind.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Ask them whether they have teaching capacities. It's absolutely unworkable. So I think a lot of previously sympathetic Americans... I have had it voted for Trump to get rid of. Yes, even the children. I'm sorry, but they have to go. If they if you want to go back home and apply for asylum or try to get in legally, like so many millions have done before you, you should do that.

But you have no right to break our laws, to enter the country unlawfully and then just play your sad violin and tell us we should allow you to stay here. There are procedures for that. You flouted them. Hold on. Here's a little reaction after Trump appeared and saw 28.

Jen Psaki with the still Hitler, still Hitler, notwithstanding the new tone. Here's the last one I want to play for you, Baja, and that is the discussion about whether he's going to go after his enemies, in particular, potentially with Kash Patel, if he gets confirmed as head of the FBI. SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Pretty remarkable in terms of tone, yes. But also, Jen Psaki, the actual messaging, retribution will be our success. Do you think that the media will accept it? And do you believe it? Because he didn't rule out entirely Kash Patel going after his political enemies. He just said if somebody's corrupt or crooked, he'd have an obligation to do it.

It's so crazy with the, you know, the Democrats are the ones who started the lawfare. They're the first ones to cross that Rubicon. They did it. And now they're acting like, oh, he's going to target.

As though Trump has done this before. They did this. You know, my husband, Doug, he used to watch our little dogs when we'd take them to the park and like the male dog, Bailey, he would pee on like a fire hydrant. And then another male dog would come and pee on it. And then Bailey would pee on it. And then the other dog, and Doug would just say, it's like a nuclear arms race.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
Like everybody keeps trying to escalate. And that's the Democrats. You know, it's like everybody peed on the fire hydrant. That was the thing. But then they went and they peed on like the leg of an actual human. And, and then, and, and, and now they're worried that like our side is going to It's like, you know, you guys are the only ones who did that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
You don't have to create some new rule saying no one can pee on the humans. Like you're the only ones who ever did it. Also interesting was his trip over to France. He attended the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which we were all thrilled to see happen. One of the world's treasures. And a very interesting moment where he sat one away from Jill Biden and the person in between them got up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
And so it was just those two for a moment. And they were super friendly. Here's a full screen of it. Picture. They were smiling. And so many people had a million captions for this. I'll stay on you for this one, Link. How would you caption that one with Jill and Trump smiling at each other?

Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
She may wind up getting one. There are going to be a lot of Biden's who still get pardoned. But it was very interesting to see, you know, the two of them over there chummy. It was to the point where it became such a meme that Trump put out this full screen, this sort of like graphic ad showing Jill and Trump together. Was it Trump who put this? Yeah, it was for Trump who put this out.

Best of the Week: Trump vs. NBC, Insane CEO Assassination Reaction, Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee
It reads a fragrance your enemies can't resist. And it says fight, fight, fight. And it actually is a Trump fragrance that he's trying to market. So what do you make of it? I think it's about time. Yeah, are they actually friendly? Did they both vote for the same person?

Here, we saw in that video that he was shaking hands with the Italian prime minister, and we saw Prince William standing there shaking his hand. And Trump, after the fact, said something. We don't have this on tape, right? Do we have that on tape?

Oh, it's via the New York Post was commenting on how attractive Prince William is saying, you know, he's such a good looking guy and was saying even more handsome in person.

Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Yeah, it's about race in America. And it's about, you know, us allegedly being a white supremacist country and Republicans don't do shit for poor white people, but they still vote Republican and they do it because if they were to vote Democrat, the N-word would benefit. It's got a lot of incendiary thoughts on how evil Republicans are because they really just exist to keep the black man down.

We heard Biden at the Morehouse College the other day saying with a very dark message about this country that the country doesn't love you back as a young black graduate and talking in very negative terms about what their futures look like.

Yeah, yeah. I'm Catholic, lifelong Catholic, and I started the process of having my first marriage annulled And instead of like bringing me closer to God or setting me in a path that I thought would land well, it really has kind of alienated me.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
That doesn't make any sense to me. I think God loves me and God sees me in a loving marriage with three wonderful kids who have two great parents who are in love. And he's thrilled and he will accept me into his kingdom when it's all said and done. And if he doesn't, it's certainly not going to be because I didn't get a paper.

This is not the way... Amy Coney Barrett is not... That should not be the place the conservative movement lands. I agree. All right, so now you start as White House press secretary, and were you thrilled to get that invitation? Of course, yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
But you must have really wrestled with how you were going to meet the high bar set by Karine Jean-Pierre. Was that... Sorry. Sorry. Was that out loud? No, she was terrible.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
I disagree. I know. That's projection by you because I look at Joe Biden.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
So how is your approach different, would you say?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And not even in like a wussy, sad little way. Like they must be exhausted. It's just nonstop.

Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

You're misstating my argument. You're misstating my argument. Hunter Biden just now on the laptop was brought up as evidence of how the election was not fair. He's not a reason, necessarily, to not vote for Joe Biden. The reason not to vote for Joe Biden is his policies. You're not woke. He's as woke, at least his policies are, as they come. The open border bill?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
How could anybody vote for somebody who keeps this border open with the number of rapes and the number of murders and the numbers of crimes going on with these immigrants?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
I just, I mean, you keep saying sort of I'm nuts because I don't see the difference between the elephant and the mouse. And I'm telling you, I identify them differently than you do. Hillary Clinton, of course, is the original election denier. I'm sure you voted for her in 16. Well, she's not an election denier. She absolutely was the OG election denier.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And then spent the next four years saying he was illegitimate. He was an illegitimate president. She...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
She said those exact words repeatedly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Now she knows she has to because of what Trump has done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And then spent the next four years trying to convince us it was not legitimate. Just saying, look, it's not the same as Trump. What Trump did was far more severe. I'm not going to deny that, but don't try to tell me that Hillary Clinton wasn't an election denier and Jamie Raskin and a whole host of Democrats who are now in prominent positions on Capitol Hill.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Doesn't make it great, what Trump did, but they don't have clean hands either. But you bypassed the immigration question. I'm not bypassing it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
So how would you put this guy back in there for four more years to leave the doors open?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Yes, it was better under Trump. Are you kidding me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Go look up the immigration rates, illegal immigration rates for 2020, for 19 to 20.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
That's what's so aggravating. We can accomplish it. We can stop what's happening at the southern border. We just won't under Joe Biden. And he keeps pretending like he has no agency on it, but he does have agency. There are a lot of executive orders he could do, just like Trump did. He won't. And you know why.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
It's because of the people who use the word latinx, who are trying to lecture him that it's not humane to enforce our borders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Don't you think that's what's happening to him on the trans issue, too, which is my big issue that I mentioned off the front?

But there was an interesting exchange that you had on Joy Reid's show back in the day. This is 16 discussing your book. We pulled it up just for kicks. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Pretty fascinating. By the way, you look so young. It's crazy what's happened to you in the past eight years.

Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Well, yeah, I feel like Usha's done a good job with you, J.D. You're sharper dressing, and I like the beard. In any event.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
But I think you were making a good point there. And I think even Joy Reid could see it back then. Now, maybe not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Vance opening up about his wife and being raised by strong women. Charlemagne the God on the way he parents his daughters, Sean Ryan on God in his life and in mine. Plus Caroline Levitt on her marriage and balancing work, which is very busy for her with new motherhood. And the guys from the All In podcast and yours truly get deep into what works and what doesn't in this new media world.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
When Trump named you as his running mate, we revisited some of your bio. And one of the points I made that day was, this is a man whose life has been formed by strong women. That's very clear. That's a fact. It's not spin from mamaw, your grandma, to your mom, though it was a complicated relationship and remains so, I'm sure, to your sister, Lindsay, with whom you're very close, to Aunt Wee.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And then you move on to Yale Law School and there's Amy Chua, our mutual friend who we love, who encouraged you to write the book and changed your life and saw in you this special story in person that ultimately would lead you to enter the national conversation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And then Usha, who you met at Yale Law School, who I know has been responsible in large part for teaching you how to love, how to be in relationship, how to conquer some of those childhood demons.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
So to me, it's a great success story of not just Davey Vance, but of American women, strong American women from mamaw with her guns and her love of the F-bomb to your own mom with her addiction problems, though she managed to make her imprint.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Um, to the beautiful Lindsay, the sisterly love who beat herself up for not protecting you more ultimately to this more sophisticated, incredible dynamic wife, Usha, who's taking you on the next leg of the journey. So how do you see those women in like your arc with them, JD?

And we have to encounter this at every turn. And then we see that same camel's nose thing. Under the tent, you give them a little, and then they start exploiting it and taking it too far. May I remind you of a little thing called USAID? Right? There's a poll. I actually, you guys are gonna talk to Caroline Leavitt in a bit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
I interviewed her for my show today, and we were talking about the CNN poll. It shows Trump's approval numbers. They fell a little, a couple points, since he took office, because he's doing things that the left may or may not like. And his numbers were kind of down on the closure of USAID. Okay, well, let's look at the crosstab. How did they ask it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
It was like, do you support Trump's decision to close the agency that is helping those suffering abroad in humanitarian crises? Right? Like, would you like the children to die as a result of what Trump did? Yes or no? It doesn't say, do you support helping African people prevent HIV AIDS? Virtually every American would say, yes, we can spend some money on that. Yes, we do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And also, then we will take that money and we will divert it for trans operas in Colombia. Who the hell said yes to that? We literally spent $70,000 on DEI dance in Ireland. They already have Riverdance. I stole that from the Ruthless fellas. But it's ridiculous. It's too much. It's overreach.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And then, inevitably, when you call them out on the nonsense, when you send Elon in there with Doge and the Doge tech guys and they start kicking the tires, they play the victim. Just like Blake Lively. How dare you? I am subjected to all these stories, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
You're subjected to these stories because you did something wrong and that's the way the media and the world works and because you deserve it. So we're tired of their games. The games are outdated, the tactics are outdated. They're old and they're tired. And speaking of the Associated Press. The media. The media's days of pretending they are holier than thou are over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
President Trump kicked them out, not of the White House, not of the White House breast-breathing room, but kicked them out of the Oval and out of the Air Force One seat they had because they refused to call it Gulf of America. Now this is interesting because AP is an American company. They say we have to do it because we report in international countries.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
The people of Ghana are gonna be upset if you start reporting on it. Folks in Somalia are really gonna get upset. You're an American company. You're incorporated here. You're headquartered in New York. This is a stick in the eye of the president and nothing more. It's obvious. Trump knows it and so do we. And the thing about the AP is they love word changes. Name changes. They live for this crap.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Just as soon as they were told they have to call girls who transition to boys, boys, they did it. Boys who transition to girls, they did it. They went with the pronouns, the whole thing. You can't even read an AP story about some trans thing without leaving utterly confused. Now there's no more somebody born male or somebody born female.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
It's assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, like it was a sin committed by the doctor and it still is very ambiguous. They love that name change. They did it right away. Illegal immigrants, we don't have those anymore if you read the AP. They got rid of that term. It's too offensive. Now you have to say undocumented immigrant. What does that mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
So thank you, God. I appreciate that. It's important to remember who you are and who you definitely are not. But it was kind of a compliment either way. Anyway, speaking of big names, you definitely will know. Have you heard about what's happening with the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni case? I'm just going to walk because I actually held that. Can you hear me OK like this? OK. OK.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
An illegal immigrant makes sense to everybody. Now you have undocumented. They got rid of the term crisis at the southern border when Joe Biden was president. could no longer say crisis. As soon as the numbers hit 100,000 a month, the word crisis kept appearing. Not in the AP, we don't do that. That's not okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Even though Jay Johnson, Obama's Homeland Security Secretary said, it's a crisis if you have 30,000 in a month. This time under Biden, it was 100,000. AP gets rid of the word crisis and didn't bring it back even when we had 300,000 crossing a month. Forgot that word. They won't say terrorist when they're talking about Islamic terrorists.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
All of these word changes they're totally in favor of, but Gulf of America is a bridge too far. So look, I'll leave you with this. Blake Lively had a point on one thing. Her time as the Hollywood it girl. The days of the left bullying and controlling us without much pushback. The days of the media pretending to be objective and independent and demanding to be left be owned.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
It really does end with us. And not a moment too soon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Are you obsessed with this case? All right, there are millions of people who are obsessed with this case. I'm going to give you a little background on it, and then you will be obsessed with it. And I'll tell you, there's a reason why conservatives in particular are following this so closely. It makes sense to me. All right, so you know who Blake Lively is, right? Most people know her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Yeah, see, the people who are booing, they know. Then there's this guy Justin Baldoni who's not as well known. See, they've been following the story. So he optioned this book called It Ends With Us, and it's about domestic violence. And he managed to get Blake Lively to star in his movie across from him. He played the abusive guy and she played the woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And this is the thrill of a lifetime for this guy. He had done another TV project, but nobody knows who he is. So he gets Blake Lively. She's married to Ryan Reynolds. These are Hollywood A-listers. He's gonna put him on the map. And she agrees to be his female co-star. Great, they're off to the races. Well, shortly into production,
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome journalist and host of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Blake Lively is very dissatisfied with virtually everything around her and decides to allege that Justin Baldoni, this, I mean, forgive me, very effeminate, evolved, modern feminist man bun kind of guy. is like this virulent sexual harasser who can't stop harassing one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in front of everybody on the set. I've got questions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
I'm not sure why he would do that, whether he'd have the guts to do that, or whether the man bun is the most likely harasser in general. But you never know. Sometimes the ones who kind of bend over backward to be as woke as possible are the most, so okay, I'm open-minded about it. This is going someplace. Would you trust me? I'll get us there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
So she says he's been harassing her and they bring in some team and he says, whatever you want, I will do it or not do it. You tell me. So they go forward. Well, we move forward in the story and she's got to go do PR for the film. And she goes out in the summer, this past summer, and she had about two minutes of bad PR.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
The problem for Blake Lively, in my opinion, is that she does not improve upon acquaintance. And so the more time we got to spend with Blake Lively, the less we liked her, the more her promotional efforts for a film about domestic violence felt off. She was full of giggles and laughter and wanted to promote her liquor brand. Like, nothing says domestic violence like a bottle of tequila. What?
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
So it felt weird and she started to get hit by some of the media for being insensitive. Then this one reporter re-upped a video in which she interviewed a then pregnant Blake, a then eight-month pregnant Blake, and kicked off the interview as you would do as a journalist if there's something obviously different about somebody physically by saying, oh, you have such a cute baby bump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Appreciate it, guys. Gosh, you guys have been out there all day. This is amazing. I have to tell you, especially now that I do my own show in my own studio, I don't get out enough. And it's wonderful to actually get out there and see the people and actually glad hand with people who watch the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And Blake was taken aback, even though it was obvious, and said, oh, so do you. The reporter was not pregnant. It was a nasty jibe at her for no reason. So normal people at home who don't care about this woman at all are looking at her like, I don't like her. She seems like a bully. She seems like somebody who punches down to somebody who's only trying to do something nice for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
So negative press swirled around her during this whole, like a month, right? Later she would describe this as though it was the pile on against Trump. Honestly, it's like most of us, especially in Republican politics or the news, this is called Tuesday for us. It's like, grow up. You're in the public eye. You've got probably hundreds of millions thanks to your husband. Just shut up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
No one cares that you've got a couple of bad articles about you in the Daily Mail. She winds up suing Justin Baldoni. She files a complaint with the Human Rights Commission out in California saying he sexually harassed me and then he retaliated me by pushing all this bad press about me. He was behind it because I found his agent, his PR agent's nasty text saying, we can ruin her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
If we have to ruin her, we will. And those texts do exist. And Blake Lively went to the New York Times and the New York Times wrote the sympathetic, poor Blake Lively story. Oh, we were all wrong about her and her weird PR. She's actually a good person and a Me Too victim. And then Justin Baldoni did something very smart.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
He hired the lawyer who represented me in my fight with NBC News, which ended well. His name is Brian Friedman, and he's a legal genius. Highly recommend if you ever, God forbid. And Brian Friedman knows how to fight back against a bully. Trust me. And he started telling everybody Justin Baldoni's side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
He told us that Justin Baldoni denied those claims of sexual harassment and only tried to appease Blake Lively because she was such a high maintenance diva bully brat, he had to bend over backwards just to get her to shut up and complete the film.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
He told us that Justin Baldoni claims she tried to take over his movie because she has a history of saying, okay, I'll be the star, but what I secretly want to do is direct it and edit it and produce it. I want all the roles for me and only me. I want full control because I am a controlling bully.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
that Justin Baldoni ultimately, by the time they got to the premiere, was mandated by Blake Lively to spend the night in the basement away from his co-stars and didn't even get to see the final cut of his own movie because Blake Lively insisted that she be the one to approve it until he watched it on the screen with his editors, who also hadn't seen it because her editors finished it up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
That's the situation he says he was in. So it's a real he said, she said. Who's telling the truth? Is he some creep harasser who took a shot at somebody like Blake, jeopardizing his movie and his future career? Or is she just extremely high maintenance and someone who plays the victim when she doesn't get her way?
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Yes, it can be like a little heady because you're like people there at an event like this, they come over, they say the nicest things. And you can almost be in danger of getting a little too drunk on your own wine. You know, like, wow. Oh, God, I think you meant J.D. Vance. I think that's what you're J.D. He's he's 48. Um, so yeah, 49. So you can start to get a little drunk on your own wine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Well, I've got my opinion, and I think you can guess what it is based on our little discussion here. The other thing is Brian Friedman produced text messages between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. So we don't have to take his side's word for it. And what they showed is that Blake Lively has got a bit of a God complex.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
She's texting Justin Baldoni about how she sees herself as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, Mother of Dragons. Did you watch that? You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. So Khaleesi is stunningly beautiful. She's this effervescent, strong character with temerity and resilience. And just, she's fierce. She's literally the mother of dragons in Game of Thrones. That's her. That's me. That's Blake.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And she says, and I've got the greatest dragons on earth, Ryan Reynolds and my best friend, who is Taylor Swift, though she's not named or they blacked it out. So she's telling him, I'm mother of dragons, and my dragons will cut a bitch. And my dragons are named Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. So the message is pretty clear. Like, okay, she's a powerful person with powerful friends.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And she's got a bit of a God complex. All right, now we get into litigation. She files her human rights campaign. The movie comes out. It does all right. He's in the basement for the premiere. And he hires Brian Freeman and countersues her and the New York Times for $400 million, claiming this is a massive defamation. Okay? Drags Ryan Reynolds into it as well. And now we're off to the races.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And where do things stand now as a result of all this? As a result of Blake Lively apparently wanting control of a movie she did not control, wanting to get the camel's nose under the tent as an actress and then take over the entire production, mission creep on steroids, and was shocked, shocked when Justin Baldoni did not want her to do those extra things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And then when it all blows up, lawsuits and cross lawsuits. And Blake Lively, who I believe thought she would be received or perceived as an Alyssa Milano or Ashley Judd Me Too victim, is instead looking a lot more like Amber Heard. How did that work out? Bad move. And honestly, to me, the lesson is, A, be a good person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
But B, if you're a Hollywood star or any sort of a public figure, would you just please take your licks in the press and shut up about it? People have real problems. They don't give two craps that you had a couple of negative articles written about you in the Daily Mail.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And in her complaint, the thing she's bitching about is that this terrible PR campaign that was opened up against her hurt sales of her liquor brand and her hair care products. Oh, my God. While this is going on, inflation is like at 9%. Get a grip. Okay. So it was a terrible idea. They shouldn't have done any of this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
But I think the reason that conservatives are so interested in this is a couple of fold. Number one, you seem to be watching the unwrapping of a public figure, like the unspooling. you know you've caught someone in what you believe is a lie. That's how I feel. And it's amazing to see it told and to kind of gone down the lane like, okay, maybe, oh, here we go. Oh, wow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Oh, wow, because Baldoni's released these text messages. She says, he inappropriately smelled my neck when we were doing a scene. Then you see the scene. They're dancing, they're caressing, they're making out. It's like, but the neck thing was too much when he smelled it? Like, all right. They went into my trailer when I was breastfeeding my baby. You're like, that's disgusting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
What's wrong with these people? Then you see his text message where she says, come on over to my trailer. I'm breastfeeding baby, but it's fine. Yeah, she says his weird producing partner showed me porn. I'm like, these people are freaks.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Then you see what he actually says he showed her, the producing partner, which was she was filming a birth scene in the movie and it was a still shot of a water birth his wife had at home. You can't see anything X-rated. It's a PG photo. You can't see anything at all. It's like artistic. It made me wish I had a water birth. All right, so you wind up kind of feeling a little bitter.

How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And this is where we come in. Because everyone in this room, because you're here, I know this about you, you've been gaslit to high heaven every time you've picked up a newspaper in the United States. Every time you've turned on CNN. You've been lied to. You've been bullied or seen others with lesser power bullied by the media and the leftist Democrats.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
However, the good thing is God is always there to balance things out for you. God or my mom, uh, and bring it down a peg when you need it. And I, this reminds me of the inauguration just last month. I went with so many great people who were, they were loving Trump. They were loving the Just the rebirth of our nation. And this one guy came over to me and he was so excited to see me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
You have been the victim of overbearing and controlling leftists who think they are the final arbiters of what's best for you and your life. And it's wonderful to see someone fighting back. Right? She's become like an avatar for leftist overreach in a different, special way. I really believe this is why so many people on the right are kind of into this story. Just kind of want to see how it ends.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Will it end as it ended for us on November 5th? Because we were pretty happy with how that went. Right? Or is it going to be something else? I mean, only time will tell. But it's bringing up like room to explore the past 10 years that we've all been through and how, you know, Trump put a period at the end of it, we hope, or at least the beginnings of the end by, by winning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
So the bully thing, what was one of the biggest stories this past year? Daniel Penny, right? You guys know who that is. Daniel Penny stood up for others on the New York city subway when there was a crazed man who was out of his mind on drugs, threatening to kill people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
and got him in a chokehold, and the man ultimately later passed, and he got charged by that insane crank, Alvin Bragg, and had to defend himself against criminal charges. Yes, boo, he deserves it. So Daniel Penny got bullied by Alvin Bragg and the media, which did not stand up for him either. There was Nick Sandman. Remember him? Look, I love how you guys know these names. You're my people. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Nick Sandman goes out there in front of the Supreme Court to stand up for life, and CNN portrays him as this villain, as this smirking, crappy, arrogant villain. Look at him, and he's sneering at a Native American who's just there minding his own business. Totally the opposite. Totally the opposite.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
Nick Sandman was standing there respectfully while he was being antagonized by the Native American who was dancing aggressively in his face and getting up on him and mocking him. That's why CNN had to pay him in a defamation case. That was settled. Kyle Rittenhouse. Kyle Rittenhouse tried to do what the Biden administration would not and go to Wisconsin and actually protect the neighboring town.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
It did not go well. He wound up shooting three guys. He was acquitted on all charges ultimately. But before we knew much at all about that case, Joe Biden got out there as he was running for president. This happened prior to Biden taking over. as he was running for president and called Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist. There was zero evidence of this. The kid was 18 years old.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
He's got the possible next, at that point, possible, ultimately, yes, president of the United States telling everyone he's a white supremacist, something for which he never apologized, Joe Biden. There was no evidence of that, none. So the left likes to bully people who are weak. He's a kid. Now he's on trial for triple homicide in one case. And...
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
And he was like, oh my God, I can't believe it's you. Can I please have a picture with you? I'm like, oh, of course, I'd be happy to. Took a selfie. He's like, I'm sending this to my mom. She's never gonna believe this. I'm like, oh, I think I'm a pretty big deal. I'm like really making an impression on this man. And he walks away and we hear him say, I can't believe I just met Carrie Underwood.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
You think it's a great time to pile on him publicly as the possible next president? There's something wrong with that. Something's off about a guy in a party that does it and supports it. And so the bully nature of the left has been on full display, as has its controlling nature. They want to tell us what we can eat. They want to tell us what we can drink.
The Megyn Kelly Show
How the Left Gaslighting America Relates to Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Megyn Kelly's Full CPAC Speech
They want to tell us how fast the water can come out of our showers, what we can drive, what we can put in the tank, what we can turn on our stove with. I mean, it's over the top. What we can think, what we can feel, where we can pray, what we have to put in our arms, what we have to put in our children's arms, our baby's arms. It's a lot. They seem to be really drunk on their power.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and a special weekend edition. I'm taping this on Friday afternoon.

She is a nasty, nasty, hard partisan. And I realize you thought, okay, I'll put Trump in there and then I'll put this kind of moderate Democrat in, but no, she's not. She's just as hard partisan as the rest of them. This is no moderate. So she goes on The View this past week and And decides to try to explain Trump and Trump voters, you know, because she's from Michigan. She was on the same ballot.

Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So she gets Trump. She gets MAGA. And here she was, you know, I guess all of our spokesperson explaining all of us to The View. Listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Okay. Well, she's not talking about Trump, but this is not normal. Everything Trump's doing is abnormal. And it's because we're in our teenage years where our brain is not fully formed. So we're just suffering a temporary form of neurosis, of delusion, of insanity. That's our problem. We're just these mature idiots whose brains have not yet matured. But trust us, Elise...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Somehow she's got the magic that we don't have. Like she's the mature one. She sees more than we do. She knows better. She knows better, okay? Like we're the dumb kids who need to be controlled. We just have to, she's the patient parent. She's our daddy. I told you she was bad. Do you remember? She was the one who decided to try to strangle Pete Hegseth during his confirmation hearing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And unlike all the other women, she did not appear in those highlight roles of like Maisie Hirono and Kirsten Gillibrand, the ones who were pummeling Pete and were like, ah, she did not because she doesn't sound like that. She doesn't sound like that, ah. But she is just as annoying, probably more dangerous, and just as partisan. That's the thing I really want you to know, Michiganders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You did not elect a moderate. And anybody thinking about this person as any sort of a moderate needs to reassess ASAP. So for a couple of weeks or months now, I've been asking my team to put together these sound bites of that cross-examination she did of Pete. And... And they've done a great job, but they never got like all the pieces that I wanted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So I actually went back myself and all my free time this week, which I did have a lot of, it's only a seven minute exchange. And I picked my favorites. I personally put this one together. It's a little disjointed, but you're going to get the feeling of why I dislike this person so much. And now this, you know, I have my soundbite. We don't go over a minute unless it's like extraordinary.

Number one, and I'm sure Glenn and I are going to be discussing this, the left is melting down over the Trump administration's attempt to deport this leader of this shockingly anti-Semitic group on the campus of Columbia University. And his name is Mahmoud Khalil, K-H-A-L-I-L. He has been arrested. He has had his student visa withdrawn and he has had his green card withdrawn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
It's just so irritating. It makes my blood boil. I get that. Okay. You've done your genuflecting. You've done your genuflecting. What are you scared of? Then say yes or no. I believe you care about them. I believe you. I think we both care about them. We both care about the military. Sir, I get it. You're filibustering. Everything's so pejorative, so condescending. You're genuflecting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You're filibustering. What are you scared of? You P word. But I totally have the same respect for the military as you do. I'm basically the same as you are. I went as like a CIA analyst to Iraq to help with intelligence. And that's basically the same as strapping a gun on my back and going and actually having to shoot bad guys. So I'm one of you. I get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I, Elise Lotkin, will acknowledge that you might actually care about the military. I have decided you might be sincere in that. F you, Senator! She's truly like, she's, I guess a wolf in sheep's clothing. Um, I don't, a partisan and nonpartisans clothing. I'm not sure exactly how I want to say it other than don't trust her. Don't buy her little moderation act. And, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
understand what you've elected. Because I think Michiganders genuinely believe that this would be somebody who possibly could work with Trump, who wouldn't have TDS, who could go to Washington and represent the people who don't hate him, who actually voted for him for president, but aren't necessarily Republicans or diehard MAGA, right? You made a mistake there, my friends.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You had a great Republican candidate. You rejected him. That's fine. You could rectify it the next time around. And I really, really, really hope you do. You have the possibility of doing that now. And I really, really, really hope you make a better choice because this woman is is nasty. She's a nasty person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
The way she spoke to him about his military service, like I will deign to tell you that your love for the military is real. I believe you. Who gives a shit whether you believe Pete Hegseth cares about the troops? Who gives a shit? How dare you say that to a man who's been deployed three times to Gitmo, to Iraq, to Afghanistan, and has laid his life on the line for his country?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
How dare you speak that way? and then get out there and talk to the rest of us like we're these know-nothing little teenagers, and that's the only reason why we voted for Trump, because our brains aren't fully developed. Long story short, Elise Slotkin, thumbs down. Okay, got to keep going. While we're on members of Congress...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Sarah, formerly Tim McBride, has been elected as a congressman out of Delaware. And this is the person who led to the whole controversy over whether we were going to be letting men posing as women use the bathrooms belonging to women on Capitol Hill. Remember, Nancy Mace petitioned the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, to say, please don't allow that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Now, in that case, it's kind of an academic exercise because all these congressmen have their own bathrooms. But it was a chance to raise a larger issue. And do you really want Sarah, formerly known as Tim McBride, walking down, you know, in Statuary Hall and saying, oh, I got to go. I'm going to use this public bathroom that belongs to a woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And there's your little girl who's there on a tour with her eighth grade class and bumping into this man posing as a woman in a skirt. Going to the bathroom? I don't think so. I don't want that. Get out. Go to your own space. And so Speaker Mike Johnson actually did change the policy to say you have to use the bathroom that aligns with your sex at birth. Well, Sarah, formerly known as Tim...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And the left has made him into Rosa Parks, that he is a civil rights figure of our time, that he was simply exercising his right to free speech and that this is an unfair and disgusting crackdown on it. And it's not just the left. It's some people. I mean, Glenn is of the left, but, you know, obviously makes a ton of sense. And we love Glenn and he's a lawyer and he's smart.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
God, there's a reason I'm struggling with the names and I'm going to get to that. It's throwing a fit right now through the surrogates because McBride was at a House hearing and Representative Keith Self, who's a Republican from Texas, referred to Representative McBride as Mr., which is what he is. McBride is a man. He is a man in a dress. He is a man in a skirt. Doesn't make him a woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Never will. And Representative Self referred to McBride as Mr., leading another congressman to have a meltdown. And the hearing ended over him using the word Mr. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Good for you, Congressman Keith Self. And shame on you, Bill Keating, Democrat from Massachusetts, who used the opportunity of him speaking truth and reality to grandstand. That's what happened. Sarah McBride is a man. Sarah McBride is a man. Sarah McBride is a man. That's why he said Mr., I am sick of the pronoun nonsense. And this is in that category.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
This is an honorific, what you get called by. But it's the same disconnect. It's when you try to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time. And it's hard. Like the left and the right, they don't really want to do the same thing. They don't. There's an incongruity happening inside your brain. And that's what was happening to Representative Self, who knew what he was looking at was a mister.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Sorry, Sarah, you're not fooling anyone. Okay? You might look with the long hair to some people like a woman. As soon as we hear you speak, we know. All right? We know. It's obvious to everyone. And this is what Sarah decided to say about the issue after the fact, Sat 17.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Does that sound like a woman to you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I would say he's much more antagonistic to Israel than than most of the people on the right are. That's fine. Totally fine. But he is definitely defensive of Khalil here saying that this is this is unconstitutional. What the government's doing to him. It's a crackdown on free speech. And he's not the only one. Our friends over at FIRE. which is big on campus free speech.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So you have a penis and are in a dress. So you get to stop with the lectures on the culture wars. OK, you're a man with either a wig or with women's hair. I guess maybe fake breasts. I don't know what you did in there. Don't really want to know either. But you're wearing a fucking dress and you've got a dick. I'm sorry. I just like get it together, sir.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You might not be in a position to lecture Republicans on the culture wars. All right. You're the one trying to pervert the culture right now. The vast majority of male to female trans people are auto gynophiles. They get off. It's a perversion on dressing like a woman. It's a fetish. They get an erection by putting on women's clothing and making the rest of us participate in the delusion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So Representative Faith did the right thing. He wouldn't participate in anyone else's delusion. And he doesn't have to. And neither do you. I don't want to participate in anybody's fetish. There are guys who get off and dressing in a diaper and having women pretend that they're their little baby. It's a no. I'm not participating in that from afar or anyplace else.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I don't have to see this person when he's out of the bedroom and say, oh, how's my little baby? No, I wouldn't. And I don't. And I don't have to look at Sarah, formerly Tim McBride, and say Mr. and say Miss. See, I can't do it. The reason I'm stuttering on it is because we know what the truth is. We know the truth is Mr. We know that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And that's why when you try to say Miss or Congresswoman, you can't. You stutter just a bit. You could get it out, but you've been hearing it. There's like a second of pause because it's the head and the belly thing. I know what's real. I've mentioned this piece to you guys many times. Okay. It is called pronouns are rehypnol. Pronouns are rehypnol. And it's by somebody named Bara Kerr.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I've been with my kids and Doug all week on spring break, came back on Friday and did an hour live with the audience on Sirius XM, Triumph Channel 111, on our special series on baby Lisa, a case we will continue to follow. But it's been such a busy news week that I'm here with this special episode just to break down some of the stories that were driving me insane this week.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
This thing was like contraband on the internet for quite some time after it was initially posted. Nobody would let it be posted. They kept pulling it down. Um, and then finally it did get posted and now it's on the internet and you can just Google it and read it yourself. Okay. So this is how Baraker puts it. This is a couple of years ago. So there's a brave piece.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Um, there's a lot of chat around, um, pronouns right now, specifically preferred pronouns, by which is usually meant the pronouns a person would prefer other people to use when they are the subject being discussed by those people. This is how I want you to talk about me. They bill it as a simple politeness, a courtesy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
They go on to say, I've also heard many people declaring that anyone who won't comply, usually directed as a woman, but here it was a man, is obnoxious, mean, hostile, unpleasant. Misgendering is hate speech, they say. That is what Representative Faith was accused of, misgendering Sarah, formerly Tim McBride. Misgendering. What he did was actually gender Tim, now Sarah, correctly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I'm not trying to be disrespectful of McBride by quote dead naming him. My general policy is if you change your name for whatever reason, I'll go along with your new name. Fine. Lots of people do that. So I will call you Sarah if I must, but I will not call you she or her or miss or Mrs. or Congresswoman because those are false. They're fake. That's fake news. It's not reality.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
They are against what the Trump administration is doing to Khalil. Ricky Schlott, who interned for our show, writes for the New York Post now and also co-wrote a book with the guy who runs FIRE. She's been posting against it. There are some folks on the right who have free speech concerns about what's happening here. So it's not just a leftist issue. But having taken a few days to look at the law,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
If your name is now suddenly Sarah because you changed it legally, then that's your new reality and I'm fine to go along with it. The reason I'm now saying Sarah, formerly Tim, is because I'm trying to make a point to you about why accurate pronouns are so important and why it's so hard to play the game, the delusion game they want us to. All right, I'm coming to something.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So, okay, Bara writes the following. One of the biggest obstacles to halting the stampede over women's rights is pronoun and preferred name courtesy. People severely underestimate the psychological impact to themselves and to others of compliance. And now... They go on to talk about, forgive me, I don't know whether Bara Kerr is a man or a woman, so I don't know what the pronouns are here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
But Kerr goes on to talk about how there's this test. You see all these colors I'm holding up? They're colors like blue, gray, red, blue, orange, red, whatever. But these colors in this test are not in their proper colors. like color, like blue in this thing is written as blue, but so is yellow. Yellow is also written in blue. Gray is written in pink. Blue appears elsewhere in yellow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Purple appears in yellow. Red appears in green. And how there is this experiment that you can take that shows how much harder it is for you to say the color of the words written in front of you when they're in the wrong color, when blue is a color other than blue, when red is a color other than red, because your brain has an understanding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You have this conscious awareness and a subconscious awareness that you're fighting a conflict that something's wrong about what you're being asked to say and using preferred pronouns, Barakur goes on, does the same. It alters your attention, your speed of processing, your automaticity. You may find it makes you anxious.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You pay less heed to what you say, what you want to say, and more to what is expected of you. It slows you down. It confuses you. It makes you less reactive. That's not a good thing. Is that how we want our members of Congress? Do we want hearings in the halls of Congress with a bunch of congressmen who are slowed down, are confused, and who are less reactive to what they're hearing?

We do not, ladies and gentlemen. And it's not cruel behavior. to try to avoid that unnecessary distraction and hampering of our lawmakers. That's what Mr. Faith was standing up for. Mr. Self, I keep calling Mr. Faith, Mr. Self. That's what he was standing up for. He was standing up for reality and for the ability to function in his job in as clean and easy and effective a manner as possible.

Notwithstanding the obvious delusion of the man wearing a skirt up on the dais with him. The thing about pronouns are real hypno and this piece that really stuck out at me is it ties back to Gavin DeBecker's, the gift of fear, not explicitly, but in idea. And almost every woman I know has read that book. And if you haven't, you should. And if you're a dad or a brother, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
you need to buy it for your, your, all the women in your life. Okay. Or a grandfather or a husband because Gavin DeBecker is a national security expert. I mean, a security expert. He has been fighting to prevent people who have been stalking victims from getting restocked to tighten laws around this.

I have zero qualms about this guy getting his ass booted back to Syria. Goodbye Khalil, enjoy Syria or wherever you wind up. I really don't give a shit where it is. He got a golden ticket into the United States of America. We gave him a student visa. He got into one of our most prestigious universities. We let him study alongside American kids who were the next generation of leadership.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
He's been on the security teams of our biggest and most well-known celebrities and business executives, um, politicians, you name it. He's a true expert in security. And Gavin DeBecker wrote The Gift of Fear many years ago. And it's about how women have an innate sixth sense.

Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And it's the thing that tells you late at night when you're getting out of the parking garage and getting into the elevator, if you see a sketchy male character in there, don't go in. don't go in. Or when you see somebody come up to you as you have your groceries and you're trying to open up your front door of your house, who says, oh, let me help you. Let me help you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And you've got that tingling sense in the back of your neck, go up. That's your gift of fear. And you say, no, thank you. But you have this other side of you that's groomed by society. Be nice, be courteous. Don't be unkind. Don't be a bitch. Be nice. He's trying to help you. He's that gift of fear and the way women are raised, girls are raised. Be nice, be kind. Don't be mean.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Don't hurt people's feelings. The guy did you a solid. He offered to carry your groceries. Let him carry them. This is doing a kindness and being neighborly or get in the elevator. You're going to hurt his feelings. What are you trying to say? Like you're better than he is. You're telling, I think he smells, you know, like what you're going to, what do you mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
He just going to feel rejected in there. Like you think he's some sort of a pervert fucking get in the box, get in the locked box with the person who's making all of your spidey senses go off. That is crazy. So that's what Gavin DeBecker writes, writes about in the gift of fear. And he's spot on. We all have it and we must listen to it and we must not let it be dulled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
by fake or preferred pronouns, which ask us to reject our innate senses, our innate understanding of what is real and what isn't in the name of kindness, politeness, courtesy, common courtesy, or decency, as you heard there, decency. Have you no decency is what was said in that exchange, that it was indecent. for him to call Sarah, formerly Tim, mister. It was absolutely decent. It was truthful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
It was honest. And here is what they say about the pronouns are like Rohypnol. They dull your defenses. They challenge your inhibitions. They're meant to. You've had a lifetime's experience learning to be alert, to him and relax to her. That is true. It's not to say all men are evil or dangerous, but guys, you know what we're talking about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You know what, you know, if you've sent a young girl off to college, you know exactly who you've warned her about or off to some party in her later high school years. You're not really worried about her fellow girlfriends sexually assaulting her. They can do different kinds of damage, but not that it's men.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
It's men who in the overwhelming number of cases involving sexual assault or harm are the perpetrators against women. For good reason, you've had this lifetime's experience. This instinctive response keeps you safe. It's not even a conscious thing. It's like your hair standing on end.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Your subconscious brain is helping you not get eaten by the saber-toothed tiger that your eyes have not yet noticed. Incongruent pronouns also make your brain work much harder, not just when you're using them, but when you are receiving them as information. You are working constantly to keep that story straight in your head, male or female, which one again?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Concentrate harder, ignore your instincts, ignore your reaction. Ignore. And you are still affected emotionally and instinctively by incongruent pronouns, nouns, and names, despite your efforts to be immune. You're not immune to this effect. You can know perfectly the actual sex of a male person, and yet you will still react differently if someone else calls them she instead of he.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Pronouns are dangerous." That's the truth. And the piece concludes by saying, I want to be alert. I want others to be alert. I want people to see the real picture. And I want those instinctive reactions that we feel when something is wrong to be unblunted, undulled by this cheap but effective psychological trick. I feel like I owe this to myself and I absolutely owe it to other women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And that is why I will not use preferred pronouns. Using Rohypnol on others is not a courtesy. That's so well done. And it's exactly right. And that is why it was totally appropriate and right and correct to refer to McBride as Mr. So thank you for doing that. Thank you, Keith Self. I appreciate it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And what did he do? He decided to join up with this group that is, without a question, pro-Hamas, that was allegedly distributing pro-Hamas drugs. pamphlets, leaflets, promotional materials. He was extremely defensive of what had been done by Hamas on 10-7. And he recognized that even though he was here on a temporary status, yes, we give him a green card, but that you're not a citizen yet.

And Bill Keating, you take a lesson, sir, because you not only undermine the effectiveness of your hearing, but you in doing what you did endangered every girl and woman in on Capitol Hill, in your home state of Massachusetts, and in this country. We don't need to deny reality. We don't need to participate in McBride's delusion. It is not impolite or unkind or rude to call a man mister.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And that is a man. And the overwhelming odds are that that man is indulging in a sexual fetish up at that microphone or on that dais. And you do not want to participate in that. Okay. That's McBride. couple of other things I need to get to before we, before we move off into, uh, the weekend and that, okay. I might save this one for Glenn Greenwald. Um, I'm on the fence.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
There's so much goodness here. You guys, I'm like, my team has pulled so many good things together that I've been texting them about all week. I'm on the fence about whether I should go for them. All right. I'll do this next one. Cause I wouldn't do it. I won't do this with Glenn Paris fashion week. was last week.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And I remember watching some bits from Paris fashion week when, you know, I was younger, especially in a younger woman and cared about such things and like saw the fashions. I've never been particularly like a fashion queen, but I pay some attention. And this is how it used to look. I mean, like the most beautiful women on earth strutting down the runway, totally freaking iconic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Here's one from the 1990s. It's the Versace show. Okay, look at these women. Carla Bruni, Claudia Schaefer, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen. They're goddesses. They're absolute goddesses. They look about 10 feet tall in their gold Versace dresses with the shimmer. I mean, just... Female icons, total womanhood. And it was lovely to watch, absolutely lovely.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And here's another one. This is a 2016 Balmain show. Okay, stunning, stunning seven foot tall models with, you know, some cutouts on the dress, but still appropriate. Perfectly shapely, not anorexic for what it's worth, you know, just like great looking. Gorgeous, perfectly made up, legs to the moon. great jewelry, sparkly, fierce, feminine, fabulous. Love it. There's some inspo there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
There's some inspo. Whenever I saw things like that, I would, I would think to myself, I gotta try harder. I gotta try harder. Like in a good way, you know, like maybe I will lose that last two pounds. I won't have that dessert. Or maybe I will like spend five more minutes at the makeup table just to try something new with the eyeliner. Like, I think you feel good when you look good. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
There was some football player Doug told me about who used to say, when you look good or when you feel good, or when you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you play good. When you play good, they pay good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I remembered a sports reference. Anyway, there's some truth to it. Well, we've gone a different way over in Paris where we had a very different kind of fashion week, including this man in a red dress that he's bald. He looks to me exactly like Uncle Fester. Take a look at this thing. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's got to be six and a half feet tall. He's got to be 350 pounds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
He's wearing, I think, a white skull cap and white makeup on his face. Look at this. It's the same man. It's Uncle Fester. He's put on even more weight and he's gained a lot and he's gained some inches. They're proud of the disgusting, huge, fat belly, which is also being shown in the slit dress. And absolutely no attempt, you know, to sort of work it like, you know, like a Laverne Cox might.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You know what I mean? Like work it as you walk the runway. No, he's walking like an Uncle Fester as well. And look at these idiots watching him in the gallery. Idiots. Somebody should have said, come on. Why didn't somebody say boo? Come on, sit down. Because they need to socialize in these circles. They can't be kicked out of the after party.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Can't have it. Now, there's more about this particular fashion event, and I've got to find it because it's unbelievable. Here it is. Okay. By the way, this was during International Women's Week, too, so take that for what it is. Uncle Fester... The show was by Matiere Fecales. Okay, reading that from my team, which translates to fecal matter, piece of shit, which is absolutely true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
that he should be in a more of a supportive role for this organization that was organizing the hell on Columbia's campus. But he still took part. He couldn't quite keep it together long enough to get citizenship. It was that important to him. And so by his own admission, he was a spokesperson for the group. that was on Columbia's campus last year causing all the havoc.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So are they just trolling us? Because this is a piece of shit, attempted fashion. It's a Canadian design duo named Hannah Rose Dalton and Stephen Raj Bhaskaran. And those are the ones who chose a bald, overweight man with white makeup to walk the runway in the fashion that we just discussed. The model was, quote, gender nonconforming. He's a DJ and a performance artist who goes by Louis G. Burton.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Louis's Instagram shows that he is a man who dresses as a woman. But all of this has me wondering whether this is a real fashion pair or Why would they call their show Fecal Matter in French? Materies Ficales. I took Spanish, which is literally piece of shit. Like, I'd like to know more. If that was your goal, you nailed it. That was definitely piece of shit fashion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
But I think instead, it's probably just an effort to be as risque and push the envelope as possible so that you can be part of the cool kids. That's what gets you props. There was another moment in Paris Fashion Week that was right up the same alley.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
This one was from Dutch designer Duran Latink's Duranimal collection, where a male model who had double D, at least, prosthetic breasts walked the runway. These things are jiggling like nobody's business. Look at this. This is so freaky. This is a freak. That's what I see as a freak. Somebody you used to have to pay money to see this in a circle.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
For the listening audience, it's a very tall man with pants. And it appears to be no shirt, though I'm told it's one of those Bianca Sensori tops that actually is just like mesh. You can see right through it. There was something. You couldn't have told. It was a matched skin tone top, creating the illusion he was topless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Um, Latink, the designer of what again was the designer of what garment defended the look to women's wear daily. It's about cosplay. It's playing with bad taste. It's about form. Every season we're trying to sort of surprise ourselves with how we can change an original piece into something that we find interesting. And we're going to do whatever the fuck we want because we're free. Great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
You do that, Mr. LeTink, and we will not buy any of your clothing, okay? Such as it is. There are always going to be mentally deranged people in our society, like the two people who were featured in Paris Fashion Show. And then there will be equally cynical advantage takers, like the designers behind this whole thing. The only solution for the rest of us is to say no, call out the depravity,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
and register how gross we find it. That's all we can do, or we're going to lose everything to these people. Already, our society has devolved to the point where women are running around half-naked at public events. You know, we talked about what we saw at the Oscars. Look what happens at the Grammys. You know, Bianca Sensori, I just mentioned her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
People are already literally running around naked to get attention. And now... It's perfectly on brand for fashion week, which is supposed to have like a preview of what's coming to be naked too, but also trans and a man pretending to be a woman, a man, I guess, mocking women's breasts, which are actually a mechanism to keep infants alive and not your play thing, not your fucking accessory thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
you Danish freak. Um, it's just so deeply offensive and all the rest of us can do is continue objecting. Just be loud about it. Object, you know, say you're disgusted. Don't tune in when it's somebody whose product we can punish. But to just let it go with like a chuckle, that's not good enough. This is this is truly sick stuff. And it cannot define us and it cannot continue. It really can't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Were they there to protest all the dead babies in Israel? No, they weren't. They actually looked at that as an acceptable form of armed resistance. We heard that from Khalil's own mouth, at least according to a fellow student at Columbia who posted a video of him speaking for the group whose spokesman he was, justifying armed resistance against Israel. This is, again, post-10-7.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Whether it's some guy dressed as a woman in the U.S. Congress demanding to be called Miss. No. Some guy putting on. Prosthetic breasts, again, which are an organ that help children sustain life, not your toy. Or Uncle Fester putting on a red dress and trying to walk through a fashion week as I don't even know what he was trying to do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I'm not sure, but I liked him a lot better when he was on The Addams Family. It was a great show.

Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
All right, so that's it for now. Those are the things I had to go off on. I have a lot more to discuss, including the Michelle Obama podcast and an amazing fact check we're going to be doing on CNN that I think you're really going to enjoy. But we'll save that for when Glenn joins us on Monday. See you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

Okay, so you're thinking about what to get that person who has everything. Or maybe you are that person that has everything and you just happen to appreciate the finer things. Well, do you want something really special? Consider hot salt. This is such a unique, fun gift. Yes, hot salt. Exquisite, savory heat. Now you're interested.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So let me tell you about Firecracker Farm, a wonderful little family company that makes hot salt, a delightful spice infused sea salt. It has the perfect amount of heat and amazing flavor that makes everything taste better. Word is getting out and people are loving it. And that is because it's made with love. People can feel it. and taste it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
It's a small batch, family operation, so supplies are limited. It comes in sleek, stainless steel push grinders. Really cool. Plus you can take them anywhere. When you run out, they have refills. A little too spicy for you? Just mix it in with some regular sea salt to tame the heat, but you won't need to. It's blended to perfection. Honestly, it's the best thing to happen to food since fire.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So what are you waiting for? Go to firecracker.farm. right now and use the code MK at checkout for a special discount. That's firecracker.farm, code MK. Get some hot salt before it's all gone. You're going to thank me.

Columbia student David Lederer posted this on X on March 11th. It's a little hard to hear, but try to listen here on SOP 14A.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Okay, so what you heard there is Palestinians have tried multiple forms of resistance, whether it's armed, unarmed resistance, peaceful, whatever, but Israel and their propaganda always find something to attack. We tried armed resistance, which is, again, legitimate under international law, but again, Israel, it is terrorism. So that's okay. That's a, that's a point of view.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Um, we don't have to actually support him in that point of view because what he's really doing there is endorsing Hamas and it's, it's terror tactics and endorsing a terrorist group now gets you on to even shake your ground. Okay. But we're still in speech. So he's still on firmer, you know, terra firma versus what actually is going to get him deported.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I'm just giving you background on who this guy is. So then he goes and he decides to be the spokesperson for the group that took over Hamilton Hall, that had campus encampments, that made it difficult for Jewish students to pass from A to B on the campus of Columbia, that made it impossible for anyone—Jewish students, professors, cops—
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
to enter Hamilton Hall, a facility for which all students pay, including the Jews. But they weren't wanted because this group took over Hamilton Hall, acted like a bunch of thugs, put barricades up against the doors, smashed windows with their cafeas on, and
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And then we're going to start with the new show on Monday with Glenn Greenwald. At that point, I will still be on spring break, but not on vacation. I will be moving locations, but I will not be on vacation. But I just needed to get to a couple of these stories, which are not evergreen. And I needed to talk to you about them before they got old. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
effectively held hostage for a time, a couple of security guards who were in the building, including guys, maintenance workers who weren't making a lot of dough, who felt personally threatened. But here's some video, just in case you have forgotten, about what his darling little student group that he's the spokesman for, he was the negotiator for, did at Columbia last year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
The caption reads, from our side of the barricades. And sure enough, it's all these CAFEA-wearing Columbia students screaming and leaning, full-body leaning against the doors, large wooden doors, and there are several sets of them, into Hamilton Hall, Free Free Palestine, as they chant. Do not hold your ground! Do not hold your ground! NYPD back down! NYPD back down! Yeah!
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
They've got ladders, but they're using the barricade. The doors, stun grenades now are going off. It's Bedlam. Cops are trying to get in. Let us not dialogue with our persecutors. They're called police officers, and when they tell you to sit your ass down, you do it. Or you get arrested or possibly deported, Khalil.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Now, he was smart enough not to actually go, as far as we know, to that particular event because he was trying to become one of us. He was trying to become a U.S. citizen. It's a no, okay? It's a no, sir. Enjoy Syria. Zero chance he's becoming an American citizen now. But he wants to hold on to that green card. He wants to stay here in the United States. And he says, oh, I'm married.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I'm married to an American and I'm expecting an American baby. Should have thought of that before last year. Bye. Get out. Who the hell feels sorry for this guy? He'll do fine in Syria. His ideology seems to parallel perfectly what he will find over there. You'll love it. Sharia law, you can find it in lots of places in the Middle East. Take your pick, but not here in America. Bye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So what did he do? He acted as the liaison between this lawless student group and the university and continued to go into, this is our understanding as of this date, there hasn't been a full recitation of it, but I've spent the weekend pouring through the reports and what we do know about him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And it appears, there's no question he was the spokesperson for this group that was behind the encampments and behind the taking of Hamilton Hall. And he was in there with the administrators, apparently on a daily basis, saying, basically, you give us what we want, which is to divest Colombia from all of Israel, or you get more Hamilton Halls. Do you understand?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And before Glenn gets here, some of which he'll have no interest in, some of which he will. All right, we're going to get to all of it. So let me just dig right in. These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance. Whether at home, on the road, or just living everyday life, having a reliable way to protect yourself and your family is crucial.

And Andy McCarthy of National Review has had a couple of great pieces of this on this one on Fox News, one on NR. And he likened this to the... To the guy, Robert Duvall character in The Godfather, Tom Hogan, who went over to see the movie producer who wouldn't cast the Frank Sinatra-like character in that movie, in his movie. And, you know, just kind of like... It'd be great if you'd cast him.
The Megyn Kelly Show

I'd love it if you'd cast him. I'm not muscle. I'm just the lawyer. But geez, we'd really appreciate it if you cast him in this role. And the Hollywood guy's like, no, F off. Nobody tells me how to cast my movies. And then he got a head horse in his bed. His favorite racing horse wound up with its bloody head in his bed in one of the most infamous or famous scenes from that movie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Most memorable for sure. And it's as if you have that guy saying, well, I just it was speech. All I said is I'm not here to threaten you. But, you know, we'd really appreciate it if you put him if you put him in. You know, it's a threat. You're acting as the muscle. You really are the implicit muscle for a terror group. A lawless group and a terror group, frankly, on Columbia campus.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
This guy was in there saying, you divest from Israel or you get the hose again. You get it? That's how this is gonna go down. He was the guy doing that. And even the Columbia administrators, the farthest left people you could probably find in America, kept saying, no, we're not gonna do that, Khalil. No, your requests are a little bit much, even for us. And the student group would not disband.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And that is why the NYPD had to break down the doors with stun grenades. None of that shit is lawful. They were guilty of trespassing, of resisting arrest, of destruction of property. There may have been assaults there. There have been plenty of criminal charges that have been unleashed on some 40 plus people who participated in what we saw there on camera and the related events.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Now, Khalil may or may not have been one of them. I don't know. I know he has joined a motion to stop the university from releasing what it knows about Khalil to the federal government, which is trying to find out right now. He and some handful of others have just filed a motion trying to stop the university from revealing the full extent of what they know about Khalil. Good luck with that. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
If you didn't do anything, that's problematic. It was just speech. It was just your little speeches, your thoughts. Why are you, why would you want to stop it from going to the feds? You should actually be thrilled to see that go. She'd be like, it's speech. Hello. I'm practically an American. I've got my green card. All I did was speak words, pro Hamas words, but they were words.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
That's why Burna is the choice for so many. Burna is a game-changing, less lethal self-defense tool. Compact, powerful, and easy to use, it provides the confidence to act in any situation. Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance. And the best part?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
No, there's a reason he doesn't want that stuff released. And by the way, there is a question, even if it's just words, there is a question about whether he could be deported, notwithstanding the fact that he's got a green card. Go listen to Andy McCarthy and his podcast on NR. It's well worth your time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And he talks about how this is what jihadists do and have been planning to do in America for a very long time. They try to get into the country and They try to take advantage of our laws and our constitution, which is very permissive when it comes to the expression of ideas and the freedom of assembly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And then they try to martyr themselves and bit by bit change the law just to make it a bit more flexible, a little bit better for their side. And so there is a real reason for the Secretary of State to be able to say, I consider that person, not yet a citizen, a threat to the foreign policy of the United States of America. How so?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Because we don't wish to send the message to other countries that they can send their jihad lovers over here to congregate on American campuses and try to convert everyone our youngsters, who are impressionable young teenagers for at least the first half of college, into joining the jihad, totally valid POV. And there's no question the Secretary of State has the power to do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
Okay, that's just speech. That's how the law is to me, pretty clear. If what you're just speaking about is jihad or supportive terror, I'm Yeah, you're in trouble if you're not an actual citizen, not if you're an American citizen, not necessarily. But if you're somebody who's less than a citizen asking us to continue the privilege of you staying here, you're in trouble, my friend.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And your conduct is where I really want this to land. This guy did more than just speak. He acted like the Robert Duvall character. Nice university here. Shame if anything were to happen to it. All you have to do is divest from Israel. You can have your campus back. We'll let the Jews pass. We'll let the cops come in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
We're being perfectly, I'll say it in my soft voice, the one that Khalil uses when he talks on camera, when he presumably was dealing with administrators. Yeah. I would hate for more maintenance workers to get hurt. I would hate for more cops to have to endanger their young lives.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
I really would hate for more property that the Jews have paid for to get destroyed here on this pretty little campus of yours, administrators. Fuck you, Mahmoud. Get out. All right. So that's it. Glenn Greenwald's coming on on Monday. He and I am sure we'll have a robust debate about this because he's definitely on the other side and I love Glenn. So he's just the man to do it with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
So that's exciting. We'll do that. Okay. A couple of other things that I definitely want to get to. Elise Slotkin. She went on The View. She's a new senator from Michigan. And I never heard of this person. You probably haven't either. But she's trying to make a name for herself because she's the newly elected senator from the state of Michigan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Goes After Paris Fashion Week, Mahmoud Khalil, Sarah McBride, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and More | Ep. 1027
And she was on the same ballot that elected Trump because Michigan went for Trump. And she also got elected. So she's like, I'm the moderate. I'm the future. You guys are going to love me because you same people who put Trump in office and my friends in Michigan, and I do have a lot of them. Would you please listen to me, Michiganders? You elected an idiot. She's a nasty person.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and today's AM special episode where we take a deep dive today into Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum admitting once and for all that she made up that entire story. This is such a crazy story on so many levels, you guys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
where you have the act of rape, essentially a gang rape, it's bad enough in and of itself. But when it's made with racial epithets against the victim, absolutely unconscionable. The contempt that was shown for this victim based on her race was totally abhorrent to the New York Times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
The thing that most of us found so abhorrent and the reason I decided to take it over myself was the combination gang-like rape activity accompanied by the racial slurs and general racial hostility. This is like, think about this. Think about these poor guys knowing they did nothing. They did nothing. And they're being accused of being vile, racist rapists.

by the DA who can't smear them often enough, and a complicit media who refuses to pause to check it out. You know the old saying in journalism, if your mother tells you she loves you, check it out. They wouldn't check it out. His word was gold.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
They had to be guilty because they were white, they were allegedly privileged, and they were prick Duke lacrosse players who don't we all just hate all of them anyway. Meanwhile, they weren't all from families of privilege. And that was well documented at the time by Hannity, on whose show I would go regularly. And he knew at least one of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I think it was Finnerty, who is from his area of Long Island. These kids were not all from families of privilege, but no one cared. Duke lacrosse players, enough said. And she was a stripper and black and a single mother. So all of that. Great. We know what to say. Here's a little bit of Nifong's allegations in the press at the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Is it any wonder that protests... arose at Duke. And within about three minutes, the entire Duke lacrosse season was canceled. It was canceled by the university. You're all guilty. Before At trial, before we've even tested the credibility of your accuser, you're done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And you all know at this point now, with sports having gotten so big, that these kids who got into Duke Lacrosse, one of the best programs in the nation, repeatedly, they devoted their entire lives You know, their first 18 years to mastering their abilities at this sport. You get into Duke. It's a dream. It's a great school. You're playing. This is like truly a dream come true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And now because this one woman's allegations, your entire dream is in shambles. And that guy's out there accusing your teammates. And if you're one of these three, you of being a racist rapist. Here's some of the protests we saw.

This is out in front of the home, the players. Signs talking about them being castrated. Outrage Duke alum.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
That was Casey Johnson. God bless him. He's a professor in, I think it's Brooklyn College in CUNY, City University of New York. And he's been right on this all along, too. He wrote a book about this. He's been on the show many times. You guys may know him. He's been doing great advocacy work on the Title IX revisions and what's happening to young men on college campuses.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
If you have a young man in your family who's going to college... or has over the past 20 years, you owe that man, Casey Johnson, a debt of gratitude because no one's done more than he has to try to get to write the ship when it comes to young men's rights on college campuses, their due process rights. And he also saw through this nonsense and was very good about talking about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Um, so that was him describing after the fact, you know, in a retrospective piece, what happened, those professors, uh, immediately rushed to judgment. Unlike Britt or Dan, you know, who are familiar with whatever these storied institutions, these professors who work there were so quick to crap all over it. Yes, Duke players suck. Yes, they're evil. They're disgusting. We totally believe it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And we're what they put in that group of 88 faculty member statement, thanking the campus demonstrators for distributing a wanted poster of the Duke lacrosse players, calling for them to be castrated at their protest. Their ad reads in part, this is a social disaster. No one is really talking about how to keep the young woman herself central to this conversation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Regardless of the results of the police investigation, what is apparent every day now is the anger and fear of many students who know themselves to be objects of racism and sexism. Will they come forward now? I mean, truly, will they, with a woman who was in that protest video speaking out on that bullhorn, will they come forward and say, again, I would like to be heard and I got it deeply wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Everyone, everyone else in the media rushed to judgment because what was alleged in this case, for those of you who were not around or too young to care, or it's just been a long time. was that on March, I don't remember the date, but in March of 2006, three Duke lacrosse players gang raped a woman of color, a black woman from Durham, North Carolina. That's where Duke is located.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And I'm very, very sorry. Very, very sorry. Because now the accuser has admitted what we knew, which is she lied and made the whole thing up. She made the whole thing up. The temperatures were rising in Durham and around these boys. The lacrosse season was shut down. The university was in the news every day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And Mike Nifong, the DA, was briefed by the Durham police investigator who told him that there were a number of weaknesses in this case, including that Mangum, the accuser, had made inconsistent statements to the cops and had changed their story several times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
that there was another dancer named Kim Roberts present with her on the night in question at the party and that she disputed Mangum's story, saying that she did not see a rape occur and suggesting that the accuser wanted it to appear as if she had been attacked and saying...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
that the lacrosse players were disappointed in their striptease and that some racial slurs were used, but then they left without any assault taking place that she saw or knew of or heard Crystal Mangum complain of. Okay. Mike Nifong took that information and was not persuaded at all. It was pedal to the metal, and we played you some of his public statements about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
He told MSNBC on March 31st, 2006, that somebody had an arm around her like this, which she then had to struggle with in order to be able to breathe. What? This is the level of detail he was going into. in the public arena, knowing nothing. We would later find out he had never even spoken to Crystal Mangum at this point. He's saying all this stuff. He'd never even spoken to her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
What he'd spoken to, who he'd spoken to, were his detectives who were telling him there were massive problems with her case and her story's very inconsistent. And the woman who'd been with her who said, don't believe Crystal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
he told a reporter with Rally News and Observer, I'm not going to let Durham's view in the minds of the world, you heard some of this, be a bunch of lacrosse players from Duke raping a black girl in Durham. Rush to judgment, anyone? The goal, again, to achieve justice, not a conviction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
In early April, between the 7th and the 10th, 2006, there was DNA testing of the rape kit, which found DNA from up to four different males, not one of whom was a Duke Lacrosse member. And the day that happened, the initial report said it was up to five. The day that happened... I broke that news on Sean Hannity's show that night in primetime.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And it was a huge development in the case that now they had the DNA test back. There was, in fact, semen from multiple men inside of the accuser. And not one of those men was named Reed Seligman, Dave Evans, or Colin Finnerty, nor a player on the Duke lacrosse team at all. That is it, folks. That's ballgame. And I had it dead to rights.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I went out on the air that night and reported it, and it was huge news. Should have been over. Nifong should have ended his case the next day. That's what happened, in fact, was April 11th. He comes out and says to the news media, it doesn't mean nothing happened. It just means nothing was left behind. Okay. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
So she had sex with at least four men right around the time that she was allegedly gang raped.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And the three now gang rapers who she wasn't able to identify in the first two passes of the photo lineup, which was already biased, took time to put on condoms that they just happened to have on their persons when they allegedly locked her in a bathroom, which by the way, where she said she was raped orally, anally, and vaginally, and didn't get a mark on them, not a fingernail mark on them, nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
and somehow managed to escape without leaving any DNA on her. This is what we were dealing with. It was becoming more and more obvious. And yet, by the way, the media held on. It's not like even at this point, the media was like, she's a liar. No, they held on. If you go back and look at the reporting, they still, the New York Times was among the worst to cover this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
On April 17th, after that news, Naifang sought the indictments against Finnerty and Seligman for first degree rape, first degree sex offense and kidnapping. And within a month, he indicted Dave Evans for the same. Unbelievable. After all I just said, this was mind blowing. But the media was not reporting these details and most in the public was not aware. of these exonerating details.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And Durham has a not well-off side of town, and it is a majority-minority town. So these are three white boys at Duke on the lacrosse team and one black stripper who claimed she'd been gang raped by them. I mean, just in those allegations alone, you can see and feel how explosive it was and would have been. And it allegedly happened at a house in which the Duke lacrosse team was holding a party.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Dave Evans at the indictment, the team captain came out and made a brief statement. He hadn't spoken to any of the media. None of them had. I was there. And the part I remember the best, I don't think we have it in the soundbite, but was he looked at us and said, I am innocent. You have all been told some fantastic lies. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
It was as clear a statement of innocence as you could get. It was not, I will not be found guilty or I deny these allegations or I would never. It was, I am innocent. These are lies and they'll be proven untrue. And every word of that was correct. Still, the media and this DA pushed forward.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
May 18th, 2006, Nifong handed over discovery materials to the defense, but they did not include any underlying data or information about the DNA testing. An analysis did not include any documentation or information indicating the presence of DNA from multiple unidentified males on the rape kit items, did not provide statements of any witnesses taken during the investigation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Naifeng told the court the state is not aware of any additional material or information which may be exculpatory, meaning tending to prove innocence. October 27th, 2006, lawyers for the defendants finally determined that they were not given the results of the DNA tests. And in December, Nifong finally interviewed Crystal Mangum. December. This case started the previous March.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
We're coming up on a year now. When he finally did, he discovered that her story had changed. She was unable now to say whether she'd been raped at all. Did he drop the case? No. No. Let me give you a feeling of what else was happening. I was still down there, up and down between DC and Durham. And we figured out, thanks to our visit to these strip clubs, where Crystal Mangum lived.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And so my team and I, the three of us, drove over there. It was in a not great neighborhood. We were a little scared. And... A police officer actually stopped us when we got almost into the neighborhood and said, what are you doing? And we said, we're looking for the accuser in the Duke case. And he said, don't go in this neighborhood. And he said, it's not safe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
But we did because we were chasing the story. What we knew is that she had a boyfriend named Matt and that she lived with him. So we expected that she was going to be in this home with Matt. And we saw these like serious looking dudes on the corner of this block. And then the next block is we approached your house and none of us wanted to mess with these dudes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And all I can remember is my producer, my photog saying, hope that's not Matt. Hope that's not Matt. It was a crazy time. So we get there and the plan was I would go up and ring the doorbell and they would shoot the scene so that if she came out, we'd at least have her on camera. We might get lucky and get her to say something.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And so I did ring the doorbell and rang the doorbell and rang the doorbell and no one came to the door. And And as I'm standing there ringing the doorbell, a car comes out from behind the house that she's in and peels out. And we can see it's her. So my guys are like, let's go. So I run back into the van.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
It was like something out of a movie where we started moving before I was actually fully in the van. And we followed her. And we don't know what to do. We're like, we're not even sure if we should be doing this. We're not tabloid, but we do want to get, you know, something with her on camera. And it would be great if we could actually have her speak into the microphone, give us two lines.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Where's she going? That could be newsworthy, all of it. And we followed her for a short time, but we didn't know if this was the right thing to do. We were all very green. So we called back to the And, uh, we said, we've got the accuser. She's in our line of sight. She's in the car in front of us and we're following her, but what should we do? What should we do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And the desk, the guy who answered at the desk said, stand by. I've got to get Kim human and involved. And, uh, so we're standing by as he asked him him what to do. And the feedback was continue pursuit. I'm like, continue pursuit. So we continue pursuit. And, uh, Didn't quite know where it was going to lead. Well, it stopped at a red light.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And we got out of the car and we had the camera and we're going up to get her on tape. I mean, look, this woman was presumed by everybody to be a rape victim, but she was not presumed to be a rape victim by us. We had serious doubts about whether she was telling the truth. These guys' pictures were all over everywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Their career as lacrosse players had already been brought to an unceremonious early end. And we did not think she was off limits. And so we went up to get her on camera and she threw herself on the passenger side of her car and covered her head. And we said, we're out of here. That's too much for us. We're not going to do this anymore. And I think that was the right call.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And I don't, I think chasing her initially was the right call too. But at some point as a reporter, your humanity kicks in and you say, let's do this, but we'll do it another way. So we got back into the van and we took off and we were not able to find her again. And no one was.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Now, I did track down her father, who told me, and I reported this exclusively on Fox News at the time, that she was claiming she'd been sodomized by these boys with a broomstick, which is just so absurd. You know, again, the woman who was with her doesn't even remember anything happening to her, but she was in a closet so long, in a bathroom so long with these guys.

Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
So it wasn't just these three. It was the team. And this hit the media like wildfire. They loved this story. Now with retrospect, we've got some 19 years of dealing with this version of the news media under our belts. So you're not surprised to hear that given those dynamics, the racial differences, the class differences, the gender differences that the media rushed to judgment against these boys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
They were using other objects, but they had their condoms on so that no one would see them. Like, just the notion of it. And then it was dropped by another news outlet that she had accused other men of gang rape when she was 18. And now you see a clear profile of this woman coming out, but still Nifong pressed forward and still the press was derelict in its duty. Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Eventually, the case was taken away from Mike Dyfong. Eventually, what we had was an attorney general step in and take over this case. His name was Roy Cooper. He eventually became governor of the state, but he held a press conference in which he announced that he was dropping the charges against the three.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
They figured out that Nifong was a dishonest broker, that he hadn't handed over required discovery to the defense, including DNA results, and that this was an out-of-control rogue prosecutor and a miscarriage of justice. He stepped in and announced that these guys were not guilty and he was dropping the charges. Here's a bit of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I got a chill just listening to that actually brings up like an emotion for me. They'd been put through hell. I remember Reed Seligman had receipts second by second for where he'd been that night, showing that he could not possibly have committed this crime. And she made a mistake in picking him because like he really had an alibi.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Still, they put him through the same hell that they put the other two through. And their parents absolutely bat shit crazy over what was being done to their boys. And yet no one giving them a fair shake, not the DA, not the media, no one, almost no one. Um, that was an extraordinary day when finally someone of reason took over and Dave Evans spoke out on April 11th, that same day, 2007. Listen,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Well said, Dave Evans. Just an example in class, fortitude, and character. He was given credit there to his two co-defendants, but he deserves a lot as well. All of them do. And the men on the Duke lacrosse team who nearly had their lives ruined as well just by smears and reputation adjacency. Um, even after Nifong's claims fell apart, some on the left held on to the nonsense. Just one example.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
But at the time, believe it or not, we weren't like that yet in the media. We weren't used to the media doing this. It was still a time in which we tended to be more judicious in our coverage and careful. And this was the before and after moment at which we abandoned that. It really was. This was the seminal moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Her name is Amanda Marcotte. She'd written for slate, the guardian, another leading progressive publications. She has, she defended the hoax. She defended the baseless prosecution even after the charges were brought against Nifong because ultimately I'll tell you what happened to him, but it wasn't good. When he found himself on the defense, she was still standing by this bogus hoax.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
On her blog, she wrote people who defended the wrongly accused Duke students were rape-loving scum. She complained about the charges being thrown out, sarcastically asking, can't a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? She is now the senior politics writer at Salon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
The left doesn't throw you out for race baiting and getting it so deeply wrong that you could easily be sued. they promote you. They celebrate you. They have you write more articles like this one. Um, she's author of, I guess it's a book troll nation, how the right became Trump worshiping monsters set on rat fucking liberals, America and truth itself. That's lovely.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
That's our left-wing blog salon. Nice. Good for you. It must be very proud. Mike knife on did find himself on the receiving end of charges. Crystal Mangum, no. The attorney general said he would not be charging her, even though he clearly could have, because of her mental state. They believed she was nuts, so they didn't charge her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
It was very controversial at the time, but they didn't think that was the way to go. They did, however, seek to disbar Mike Nifong, which was easy. He was disgraced and disbarred. And then they went after him criminally, and he wound up having to spend a day in jail, which was symbolic, just to say to the public, he's the villain. Which, yeah, he is. It's clear. He did ultimately, after...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
losing his entire career, never mind his reputation, come out and apologize. It was during his disbarment hearing when he was struggling to save his law license. Here's some of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Didn't work. Lost his law license. Spent a day in jail for contempt of court. That's what he was being punished for and has never recovered since. He's still disgraced and a walking example of what happens when a rogue prosecutor misunderstands his role in the system. A lesson many prosecutors out there today could stand to benefit from learning. Wish they'd pay attention.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
As for Crystal Mangum, things did not go well for her after this case fell apart. She came out in 2008, so not long after the case was dismissed, April of 2007, and she wrote a book. And in her book, she reasserted her claims. She reasserted them. Take a listen to her here from 2008.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
in the media leaning into what we now know as wokeness when they looked at cases and stories like this one. It was a travesty in many ways. And thank God these three boys wound up getting let off the hook by the attorney general who stepped in to take over. But the media, they got away with it. And they continued to sin in exactly the same way they did in that case ever since.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Still a liar. She was threatened with a defamation suit by one of the boy's families at that time. She was doubling down, just not admitting it. Okay, so we're still supposed to go with mental state. Got it. Supposed to still feel sorry for her. Don't. And that was 2008. And then, you know what happened? In 2013, She went to prison for second-degree murder of her boyfriend.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I don't know if it was Matt. Hope that's not Matt. I'm not sure. She went to jail for second-degree murder. And when she was found guilty... Newsbusters reported at the time that they keep an eye on left-wing bias. There were no Duke accuser updates at ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, USA Today, or the Washington Post. New York Times had a tiny little column on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Turns out she's a murderer in addition to being a false rape accuser. Not worth an update. Why step on our old narrative? We already took a black eye on it. No reason to make it two.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And then this week, we get this extraordinary piece of tape from a little old show no one's ever heard of called Let's Talk with Kat, spelled with a K, in an interview that happened at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And finally, finally, almost 19 years after this happened, Crystal Mangum tells the truth that she made this whole thing up and addresses the young men specifically. Listen. Do you have any regrets?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Wow. So that's how the saga ends. It almost never happens. We were dangerously close to her lies sending those three innocent promising amazing young men to prison for the vast majority of their lives. We were dangerously close to it. I'm glad she acknowledged it. I'm glad she apologized. I don't know what it'll do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Here we are almost 20 years later, and they're still at it. And that's really what's remarkable about this case. And for me, it is personal because I lived it firsthand. And I'll tell you what brought me to the case. I was hired by Fox in August of 2004. I had done a year in journalism working for the ABC affiliate down in Washington, DC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
She can no longer be prosecuted for lying under oath, as she did, because the statute of limitations has run on that claim, but she's in prison for a long, long time, thanks to her second-degree murder conviction. The boys did ultimately sue. They sued in a civil suit, Duke University, which was settled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And reportedly, though we don't know, the university paid approximately $20 million to each claimant. That's unconfirmed. We reached out to them to see if they had any reaction to Crystal Mangum finally coming clean. And we actually have an exclusive statement here from not Dave Evans, but his lawyer, Joe Cheshire, who represents him. This is just to us. Quote,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I'm extremely pleased that Crystal Mangum finally decided to tell the truth. For those of us that were involved in the Duke Lacrosse case, there was never a question as to the innocence of these young men. It was a travesty of justice caused by one prosecutor's corrupt effort to win an election at the expense of three innocent people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Prosecutorial misconduct can have a devastating impact on the administration of justice by causing wrongful convictions of innocent people and must be carefully guarded against. Although Ms. Mangum's admission is long overdue, it does put the final layer of validation on the unequivocal innocence of these three fine men. Colin Finnerty left Duke and enrolled at Loyola College in Maryland.

Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Dave Evans, who you heard there, had already graduated from Duke before he was officially charged, received an MBA from Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania in May of 2012. Reed Seligman enrolled as a student at Brown University in that fall of 2007 and was an important part of Brown reaching the 2009 NCAA lacrosse tournament as well as a number 10 national ranking.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I believe one of them went on, I think it was Seligman, to law school hoping to practice criminal defense. We'll check that. I think one of them's in finance and I'm not sure what the third one's doing. Yeah, he went to Emory University Law School. Seligman did. So good for him. Taking that trauma and turning it around to actually save others from going through it is pretty noble.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
All of this is just so upsetting and it's so deeply immoral and the press has learned nothing. They're just as vile and disgusting and they do it over and over again. And so do officials who have no business trying to lead the public into thinking there's guilt when there isn't like Joe Biden when he was running for president saying Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist.

The irresponsible rhetoric from Barack Obama in in these cases, not to mention the entire leftist media. Whenever there is a black man on the wrong end of police in a violent confrontation, they they don't learn. They don't learn. which is one of the reasons why Leslie Stahl should not have been so confused in that clip we showed you yesterday where she spoke to Peggy Noonan about why.

Why is it that the legacy media has died? She can feel it happening. Even she's acknowledging it of 60 Minutes. Why? This is why. You changed nothing. You learned nothing. You doubled and tripled and quadrupled down on the same sins. And we no longer trust you. In fact, we loathe you. Look at the way they covered Donald Trump's four indictments.

And so I was young in my reporting career, but I had almost 10 years of legal practice under my belt as a litigator. So I was very used to looking at disputed fact patterns and being asked to make arguments to judges and juries and to behind the scenes, talk frankly with my own teams about what we believed was true. You know, you don't come into it with any superior knowledge as a lawyer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Look at the rogue DAs who indicted those cases to begin with. The left has learned nothing. There is no fixing them. There is only forging on without them. That's why shows like this were born. It's why the digital lane has taken off. It's not just all about swagger and good for us when we talk about it. It's because it was important.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
It's because necessity is the mother of all invention and we needed an honest press and didn't have one. It's journalistic Darwinism. Finally, I'm going to end with a nice story, a nice piece of this story. I mentioned it's one of the, this case is one of the reasons that I met my husband. So flashback to 2006, when this was all unfolding, I was going down to Durham. I was

Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
My husband, Doug, who I mentioned to you, went to Duke, saw me. I was Megan Kendall then. I was still using my first husband. I was her first husband, as you know. It ended amicably, but I still had Megan Kendall as my name. he saw Megan Kendall reporting on the Duke fake rape case from Durham. And he was interested in the case for obvious reasons.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
He had gone there, not, not that far in the past and wanted to keep up to date on what was happening and like the reporting. And as it turns out, like the reporter, a long story short, we were set up and I met him for a blind date and And the rest is history. We met in July of 06. And by September of 07, he proposed to me. And we were married in March of 08.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And for me personally, it has an additional layer because this is the story on which I cut my teeth as a young reporter at Fox News. Many of you may remember that. I actually heard a lot of people, saw a lot of people tweeting at me and emailing us saying they do remember our coverage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And it's funny because one of our traditions is we go out once a year with our friends from New Jersey who we spend the summers with. And time after time, we would see family members. I've never actually met the three lacrosse players. I've never met one of them, but I've met their dads. I've met family members who will come up to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And it used to always happen at this one restaurant we'd go to in New York on this celebration. And they were so profoundly thankful for what? Just honest coverage. That's it. I was not on the air every night saying they didn't do it. You know, I wasn't allowed to do that back then. Now I'm much more opinionated and able to share my opinion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
But back then I was a straight news reporter and I would never have shared my actual opinion. I could only report the news honestly. And they were so grateful just for that, just for reporting the news honestly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
You know, I gave you the one example, but there were a lot of them in that case where we bonged in on Hannity with a Fox News alert and set the cable news world on fire with our reporting there. And it's just a wrong, immoral thing where someone who's the target of those kinds of allegations has to be so deeply grateful for just honest coverage about the facts in their case. Anyway,

Doug and I lived happily ever after, at least so far. Went on to have three wonderful kids who we adore. And that's my hope for these three guys, too. I don't know personally where their lives took them. They're all older now. They figured they were 20 when this happened to them 20 years ago. So they're probably all married with kids of their own and careers.

You have what your client tells you. You have what you hear from opposing clients in depositions and in court. And you form your own judgment on what you believe. And if you can get to the actual truth, it's very helpful. You may argue it one way or another when you're actually in court, but you do your level best to figure out what did happen. And that's exactly how I approached this case.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And it would be great if they'd come and talk about the lessons that they've learned. They've given a couple of interviews, but I'd love to hear... how this very negative experience has affected them positively.

Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Because I bet you there's a whole bunch of things in that lane that would help the people who feel sorry for themselves today because they got a bad test grade or because somebody snubbed them, that they could learn from these guys who went through true adversity. Not exactly the way our soldiers do, but not totally dissimilar from the way our soldiers do. They went through their own kind of hell.

and have been really great, fine, upstanding guys. So they're the heroes of the story. Mike Nifong's the villain of the story. Crystal Mangum, it's more complicated. I do believe there's something seriously wrong with her. I don't know if I'll use the term villain. I don't know what to say about her. Hers is a sad, sorry case. But in the end, at least this week, she finally did the right thing.

But even I, who was not woke and who was a trained litigator, needed a warning on this case because I was still young. I was 33. No, 33 when I joined Fox. But by this time, March of 06, I was 35. And I'm going to confess, I saw the fact pattern. I was like, I could see it happening. I'm not so like jaded, certainly not by media.

All right, I will kick it off and tell you I was very, very torn because I love, love, love watching this movie, Christmas in Connecticut. It was made in 1945. It stars Barbara Stanwyck. And the fun thing about this movie is she's basically a Martha Stewart type who writes like a home helper column in this popular magazine. But it turns out she's a fraud. She can't cook. She's not a homemaker.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
She doesn't know what she's doing. She's a city girl living in Manhattan wearing furs. The whole thing is fake. She's using this cook friend of hers to write all this stuff. And that's working out fine for her until the owner of the magazine, Alexander Yardley, which, by the way, is where I got my daughter's name from.

I always tell you that bald old man in Christmas in Connecticut, he gets this idea of trying to honor and celebrate this World War Two hero who's just back from war, who really just wants a home cooked meal. And he wants his main writer to celebrate this guy at her Vermont farm by hosting him. But she is not married. She does not have a baby. She does not have a Vermont farm.

Uh, I know I love lacrosse players, truth be told, because I went to Syracuse and I dated the captain of the team that won three national championships there.

I, you know, it's just, The general atmosphere of debauchery did not seem impossible to me. And a bunch of guys really drunk at a party, who's to say it's impossible? So I wasn't ready to condemn them knee-jerk, but I also wasn't of the thought, no way. And Brit Hume put me on this case, who was my boss in the DC Bureau. He was the managing editor down there.

I just want to show you this. So I love Christmas in Connecticut. I love the way it makes me feel. I put it on and I just like wrap presents or do something like it's not something that I would always just be focused on every, every minute of the movie, but the movie I really need you to watch if you haven't seen it. And the movie I absolutely love is family man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Family Man stars Nicolas Cage and Taya Leone. And it is so good. The message is so good. The acting's so good. It's hilarious. It's a heart tugger. It's got all the elements in it. And it's so wonderful that I teed up the trailer because I really want you to see it, though it was made now almost 25 years ago. Watch.

And there's this one scene in there where he says to her, I want us to have a life that people will envy. And they live in this small home in New Jersey. Their kids go to this public school that neither one is making any money. And she says, what they have is amazing marriage. They already do envy us, Jack. And like that right there, that's it. You know, it's like we get sucked into-
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
you know, money or fame or some, some version of success that doesn't involve the real people who you surround yourself with, who you really love, who you're building a life with. And you, you forget about that, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
You forget that it's like the genuine love between you and your partner, hopefully like the feeling you have when you pick up your baby and smell his hair, you know, that that is the stuff of envy, you know, and it's a perspective setter. At the perfect time of year, right, when we get so materialistic about what matters.

And it was getting a lot of traction, this case. And he said, you need to go to Durham and get boots on the ground, if you will, and start reporting and breaking news in this case. And I said, okay. And we talked about it. And I said, do you think they did it? And he said, what do you think? And I was like, maybe. Now, Britt had had a very different background than I did.

No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Britt had gone to, I believe, a private boys school, and he had sent his own son to a private boys school, for sure, in Virginia. And it was a feeder school for programs like Duke Lacrosse, by the way. And Britt had a very nice family background, maybe a little bit of prestige and connection. I didn't have any of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Britt had an academic pedigree that was beautiful and a journalistic pedigree that matched. And Britt is a brilliant guy, as you probably all know. Very, very, very smart. And we used to joke in the D.C. Bureau about if Britt says it, it's right. Okay, I realize there are some people who are like, well, he didn't get Trump right. He was not a big fan of Donald Trump first time around.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
But nine times out of 10, Britt has his facts straight and his instincts when it comes to news judgment are spot on. So he said to me, be careful. You know, that deep voice he has, be careful. And I said, what do you mean? And he said, the media... senses something here that is not consistent with the Fox News mission. And he was talking about leaning into identity politics.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Because it was not only a massive travesty of justice, almost, almost, but it was a massive travesty of journalism. And virtually everyone was sinful. I will be honest. I don't remember anyone other than yours truly and Dan Abrams. at Court TV at the time, reporting honestly on this case, reporting accurately on this case.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Back then it was called more political correctness. And he said, that's not what we do at Fox News. And he said, go down there and keep an open mind. That was his sole directive to me. Keep an open mind. And honestly, that's all you had to do to get this story, right? That's all you had to do. And you know what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Not coincidentally, Dan Abrams, the other person who was getting it right and did get it right, went to Duke. My husband went to Duke. Um, and actually it's the reason that Doug and I got married. I'll explain that later. But anyway, so Dan went to Duke and he knew a lot of these guys too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And he and Britt with that background, they knew from their experience and exposure to guys like, no, these are not a bunch of gang rapists who happened to just get into Duke. And they were familiar with media narratives around privilege and white guys that were BS, right? So it was a very interesting... collection of those who got it right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And what saved me was my background as a litigator and Britt's advice. Okay, so I go down to Durham, North Carolina, and I was very determined to not only pursue the guys and their story, and I developed the best sources you could get on team defense, but also to pursue her, the accuser, and see if we couldn't find something, something exclusive, something more. And boy, did we ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
So we covered both angles of the story and had great sources. And I'll tell you one other reason why Britt had it right, my boss, and encouraged me. Because he sensed immediately this is a political story in addition to a legal one. Because what we had in the Duke case was a white district attorney who was up for re-election in an election year in, as I pointed out, a majority-minority district.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
So it was a chance to pander. It was a chance to say to the black residents of Durham, I'll get those privileged white pricks, even though I'm a white guy. And Britt read it. And we actually would later find out that Mike Nifong, if he could retire at
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
this sort of higher level, if he could get reelected and he could retire at that level, he would have a much higher pension than he otherwise would. And so he had a personal stake in it, not just to get reelected, but also a personal financial stake in a way in pursuing this case and leading us to believe there really was one. This is the villain of the case. I mean, he's the biggest villain.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Mike Nifong is the biggest villain involved here. And again, the reason we're covering this again is because the other main figure in making this case happen against these young men, Crystal Mangum, has now, for the first time in 19 years, admitted it was all a lie. We knew that. We just never heard her say it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And by the way, we just got reaction from one of the boys, and I'll read it to you in a minute, one of his lawyers. Um, so we go down to Durham, uh, my producer, uh, Jake Gibson, our photog and I, and we start working sources and it was insane. So many crazy things happened when I was down there. One night we were trying to find her. She was impossible to find. She had gone underground.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
She accused three boys of rape and she went completely underground. No one could find her. No one's even trying to find her cause they just wanted to believe her story and what we did to find her. I mean, we went into the strip club after strip club was hilarious actually. Because we'd walk in, we'd try to act like civilians so they wouldn't mark us as press.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
And I mean, we were two steps into the door of these facilities and they'd say, press. And my team looked at me and said, it's you. said, where are their bread and butter? They would never suspect us as press.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Anyway, we had many funny conversations with these strip club owners where I got my fake strip club stripper name, where we asked the one guy, what, like, what do you think, what would my name be? If we, if we got up here and one of my guys said something like, how about sugar? And he said, white confectioner sugar, which is like the pasting of sugar there is. I don't think it was a compliment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Anywho, on we go. That's just one memory I have. She was sat down by the police and given a photo lineup of the Duke lacrosse team. That was her allegation. I've been gang raped by Duke lacrosse players. And so they gave her the Duke lacrosse roster, which is not an appropriate lineup at all. That's accepting that it was definitely somebody on the Duke lacrosse team.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Any sane person at the police station would have put in non-Duke lacrosse players, plenty of them, into a bigger lineup and asked her to choose. Well, it turns out she failed even the stacked test that they gave her and was unable to identify anybody. And we would later learn that she went through it at least twice and was unable to identify anybody. And then under pressure...

She selected one of the team's captains, Dave Evans, who was a senior, and two others. And Colin Finnerty and Reed Seligman were the other big losers of the Crystal Mangum guesses that day. That's Finnerty on the right with the yellow tie, Evans in the middle, and Reed Seligman on the left. Just so you know, they... They almost went to jail for 30 years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
These three boys almost went to prison for decades. They would still be in prison right now if this woman had her way, if Mike Nifong, the DA, had his way. So the media went wild with it and started reporting the most vile details as though they were true. And I will give the media one crutch here in terms of my criticism of them falling down on the job.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
It is that Mike Nifong actively misled them in the community about what he knew and what he didn't know. He overstepped bounds that prosecutors should never overstep. You know how now the prosecutors are very loath to say anything about a case? They'll charge it, but they'll say, I'm not going to charge it in the press. It's not appropriate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
The prosecutors are supposed to seek justice, not a conviction. There are exceptions. Hi, Fannie. Looking at you. Looking at you, sweetheart. There are exceptions like Fannie Willis. But It's in part due to the sins committed by Mike Nifong, who was out there. We pulled just a couple of them saying things like, we don't have a lot of him on camera, but I'll just read you some of what he said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
I believe a crime occurred. The guilty will stand trial, and there's no doubt a sexual assault took place. The information I have leads me to conclude a rape did occur. It must be dealt with quickly and harshly. The circumstances of the rape indicated a deep racial motivation for some of the things that were done. Keep in mind, it's all fake, okay? We know now for sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly Reflects on the Outrageous Duke Lacrosse Case, as the Accuser Finally Admits the Truth | Ep. 965
Totally fucking fake, made up stuff. And the DA is saying there was a rape with a deep racial motivation. It makes a crime that is by its nature, one of the most offensive and invasive, even more so to MSNBC. There's evidence of trauma in the victim's vaginal area that was noted when she was examined by a nurse at the hospital. I'm convinced there was a rape says to ABC local.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. He's been called the disruptor-in-chief, and that's exactly what Trump's tariffs are doing to the market today. False reports of a Trump tariff pause saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average erase a morning 1,700-point loss to go up

Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
And it affects virtually nothing because they don't buy from us. So it's almost just an exercise. Well, okay, it's like a thought exercise because compared to what we buy from them, they buy next to nothing from us. But today, they actually had the nerve to issue a retaliatory tariff after Trump's 34%. And Trump just issued this statement on Truth Social. He writes...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
Yesterday, China issued retaliatory tariffs of 34% on top of their already record-setting tariffs, non-monetary tariffs, illegal subsidization of companies, and massive long-term currency manipulation. Despite my warning that any country that retaliates against the U.S.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
by issuing additional tariffs above and beyond their already existing long-term tariffs, a tariff abuse of our nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher tariffs over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the U.S.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated. Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
So let's talk about China because, you know, the general thinking seems to be what's going to happen in North America is ultimately going to be done by deal between Trump, Canada and Mexico that, you know, he already struck a deal with them first time around and they'll probably strike another deal because we're all on the same continent and we have an interest in having healthy trading relationships with our upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
Then there's Europe. which now is acting as a block, some 27 countries. And I think the general wisdom is that we'll reach a deal with them too, some sort of a deal, like maybe this is a negotiation to hit something better. So it's really about Asia. These tariffs are in large part about Asia. And China, the number one, where there's this huge disparity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
And then when we hit them with tariffs last time around, they outsourced a lot of their manufacturing to some of these other Asian countries like Vietnam. We're like, oh, OK, we don't have to do it here. China said we'll do it in Vietnam. They're not subject to the new increased tariffs on us. So now Trump has included Vietnam and all these smaller Asian countries in his net.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
So I don't think it's any accident that he's making an example out of China with this truth, social post, uh, Victor. And I, I think he's right on because I think Americans understand on an inherent level that everything we buy was made in China. You can't avoid it. If you try your, you know, from food to toys to clothes, the electronics, you name it, they make it there. They
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
I mean, it is a better place to go. It is not a guaranteed source of income. It can go up and it can go down, and we have volatility right now in our economy. So, you know, hold the line. Like, hold. Don't panic. Do not panic. That's actually what Trump is saying this morning. Don't panic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
export it to America, and we pay through the nose for it. And now Trump's trying to right that balance by bringing American manufacturing back and decreasing our dependence on this country that hates us. Your thoughts on Asia and China and how that all plays in here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
So we're going to talk about what's happening because these tariffs are having a greater effect on our market, at least, and we'll see what they do to our economy. But boy, he is getting such pushback now from establishment Republicans, the ones who didn't really want him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
We were watching, you know, the usual suspects for the most part beat up on Trump. There are a few outliers. But what I am gleaning is that some of the people who are defecting from Trump on this plan are just giving him time to see how it works are people who are extremely heavily invested in the market. You know, it's like, OK, I get it. You're not his priority right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
He wants you to benefit, too, eventually. But right now he's doing something that he thinks long term could help the bottom half of the country. But they're not used to that, Victor. You know, I've been following Bill Ackman's X feed and he actually he had a post about you. tweeting directly to you saying you made a compelling case for the tariff strategy, but that you had one issue incorrect.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
He claimed that the Trump he describes the Trump tariffs as reciprocal and proportional to these other nations and what they've assessed on us. In actuality, the Trump tariffs were set at levels substantially above and in many cases at a multiple of the counterparty countries tariff levels and goes on, as Bill Ackman tends to do with a very, very long
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
Well, I know what you mean, because I mean, there are some countries who they don't have a tariff on our goods necessarily, but we're just not allowed to sell our cars there. They've they've created such a like a green scheme that keeps us out that it's might as well have a hundred percent tariff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
I mean, like I'll look, Elon's not a fan of the tariffs from what we're gleaning on Twitter, but Cora Maga so far seems to be still in Trump's corner. Establishment Republicans like the journal. They don't like the tariffs. We knew that. They also don't like the immigration reforms. We knew that. They also didn't want Trump. They wanted Nikki Haley. We knew that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
Well, just to finish the point on Bill, so then by Sunday at 5 p.m., he called for a 90-day pause in the tariffs. So first he was, okay, I disagree with Victor a little, but he said we have to help Trump succeed is the least we can do. Then by Sunday at 5 p.m., the earlier exchange was Saturday. Mm-hmm. He called for a 90-day pause. We've got to pause it. We've got to pause it.

Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
The president's losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. This is not what we voted for. Got to call a timeout. Then he followed up by saying, if you haven't noticed by now, I speak the truth regardless of the consequences to me personally or what other people think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
Then by Sunday night, he was taking shots at Howard Lutnick, saying, I just figured out why he's indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing. He and Cantor Fitzgerald, which he runs, are long bonds, meaning they profit when the economy implodes. It's a bad idea to pick a secretary of commerce whose firm is leveraged long, fixed income, an irreconcilable conflict of interest.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
By Monday morning, he was saying he had been unfair to Howard Lutnick. I don't think he's pursuing his self-interest. I'm sure he's doing the best he can for the country. I'm just frustrated watching what I believe to be a major policy error. Okay. So what, with all due respect to bill, I mean, I've seen this from quite a few very heavily invested people. There are,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
they're against this because they're watching their own fortune or the fortune of their company go up and down precipitously. They see these massive falls and they want to stop it. And I get that. But of course, you know, waiting it out long-term and letting things settle is what every investment advisor tells you to do. But separate and apart from that,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
They don't understand that this isn't about helping the Bill Ackmans of the world. It just isn't. And Republicans in particular are used to a president who is devoted to helping their pocketbooks. It goes back to the wisdom of my nana who lived to be 101.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
And when she saw I was working at Fox News and I was saying certain things on certain policies and starting to sound more right wing, she said, Republicans. She goes, we're we're Republicans are for the rich. We're not rich. We're Democrats. Right. That's that was my Nana's wisdom born in 1915. And she wasn't wrong.

And I think there's still a very large portion of the party that is used to that being the basic approach.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
And Democrats who just want to hate Trump to hate him, they're all against him. But can we just hold on? Just hold on and don't let these Wall Street hotshots who live and die by a two-point market move dictate the wisdom of Trump's tariffs, which are a longer term strategy. Look, President Trump is far from panicking. He posted this morning on Truth Social, quote, the U.S.

We're going to get into it, plus more of our exclusive reporting on the Nashville School Shooters Journals, which we broke exclusively this morning on AM Update, which you should check later today after this show.

We exclusively had permission to report on it, though not to post the documents. And we spent the weekend reviewing the over 1,000 of them. What we concluded, and it's outlined in Morning Update, which is on YouTube and on our podcast feed, is that we were misled by Nashville authorities last week who said, there's not one document called the manifesto.

That's sick. There's something deeply wrong inside the Democrat Party. This is not how Republicans talked about Joe Biden. Certainly not 55% of the Republican Party would be out there justifying murder. There's something wrong. There's a sickness. There's a cancerous illness bubbling up inside of their party.

On Friday night, we received more than 1,000 pages of writings by the Nashville school shooter, chilling journals that local officials in Nashville did not want you to see. The FBI sent the files to The Megyn Kelly Show, as well as to Congress, on the heels of a report from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department last week that was severely lacking.

We've seen every other shooter's manifesto, rantings, writings. Why not this one? We here at The Megyn Kelly Show do not name school shooters, but due to the nature of this news, we will mention that the shooter's given birth first name is Audrey. However, in the years leading up to the horrific act, she instead went by the name Aiden and used he, him pronouns.

Because the report from the Nashville police barely touched on the full scope and breadth of what was contained. The killer's struggles with her gender, her obsession with gender identity, alarming racial animus toward herself as a white person, and how those factors contributed to the act that she committed that day. Why do you think they excluded all of this?

Why are those two things too hot to touch? The families of the victims do not wish for this information to be made public. We understand that, but we are sharing a sampling of necessary context omitted by the Nashville police, and that has been hidden for far too long from the public. The public has a right to know as a matter of safety in preventing more of these.

The FBI has given us permission to say what is written, but not to show the actual documents. The journals contain many pages expressing the shooter's belief that she is a man and was born in, quote, the wrong body. In one entry dated April 12th, 2022, this is a year before the shooting, titled Let Kids Choose Their Sex,

And I keep in mind, as you hear just these samplings, I'm going to read you that what the Nashville police represented was that her trans ideology, her gender confusion had absolutely nothing to do with a horrific act. She took from. How do you why? How do you glean that? This stuff is all over her writings. She's clearly deeply disturbed by it.

Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
But somehow that's the part you can excise from her motivation. Wrong. In another, she writes, quote, how does it feel to grow up the gender you were born with and are comfortable and happy with? Well, I don't know that feeling. I never did, you senseless people, that you don't know WTF comes out of your mouth telling me I'm female.

Female pronouns make me feel like I want to die, especially called woman. I never was, ever. I hate being in a woman's body. Need to die. But this had nothing to do with the act she took at Covenant School. In an entry marked June 6th, 2021, the killer writes, quote, Eric and Dylan, that's a reference to the Columbine killers, were gods.

All those little dumb shits in other school shootings during the 1990s were not gods, just cowards. Even if maybe they had a reason, they left it a mystery. I realized that after knowing Columbine, I immediately became attached to it. Not just the notorious outcome, but the preceding evidence leading up to it. I feel I am the reincarnation of Dylan Klebold.

My thoughts of depression are forever linked to his and my experience as well. In a diary entry shortly after that, the killer writes about how epic it would have been if she had shot up her own high school. Quote, kill all the white kids, kill my own race. F yes, destroy all the white people who are teachers. Let all the black kids go unless if I don't like you.

About a month later, the killer writing several pages about why black pain is different from, quote, white pain. Quote, black people were given fate, given nothing, while white people get power in the White House, have all the privileges, even to white people like me. White people are born with privileges. Black people aren't. Black people always had to earn and fight for their needs and wants.

Every white person who lived and died, I hate you all. July of 2022, the killer writes about wanting another therapy session but not having the money. Quote, I need to have another session with my therapist. I need her.

This is apart from the fact that it's completely in line in the ways that I just read with what leftist schools and leftist thought is pushing right now in American children.

And why, when the Nashville cops finally released some 48-page summary of the 1,000 pages last week, did they specifically- dissect the gender ideology as not a causal relationship with the act she committed. Not the gender, not the race craziness she'd suffered. This wasn't a racial crime, but I'm just saying all the inconvenient sicknesses get excised as the reasons.

It's short. The event I would teach people about is slavery. The reason I think it's important to teach people about this event is so then we can see that America was built on black people, not on whites. Behind the scenes, it's all black. The reason we have picked crops, built houses, and America is because black people did it all.

And while she did wind up going to see her therapist there—you heard a reference to it—and the mother urged the therapist to see her, and they came up with a plan to take away her guns because she was obsessing over killing her own father— she wound up going and getting a gun anyway.

One saw a man who tried to throw me in jail unjustly and said, that's the guy for us. Let's hire it. Let's run and hire him. That's one of the things that Paul Weiss did.

In reality, many of these events, whether town halls or hands-off events across the country, are coordinated with help from Indivisible, the leftist organizing group founded by activists Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in the wake of Donald Trump's 2016 election.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy 2025. We are back with our first live show of the year. I've missed all of you over the past two weeks. While I spent some quality time with my family, I hope you had some with yours as well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So you tell me how it's not a terrorist attack.

And then my brother-in-law Ken was Biff, which I got him a fake muscle shirt to wear, which I don't think he appreciated. So anyway, it's so important to get out and do things like that, right? It just, it's so clarifying to spend time with your family away from work. Even though I love my work, it's clarifying to spend time away from it.

I love everything you just said. So much has gone down over the past couple of weeks and just today, as you point out, Trudeau, which we'll get to. But I was just sticking for a second on the FBI and its bungling messaging around what happened in New Orleans, which was indeed a terrorist attack, says as follows at National Review.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
We are being tormented by the FBI's habitual woke incoherence regarding this atrocity. There should be no hesitancy. This is maddening.

And I have to say, it makes me feel, it makes me better at my job because when I come back, though, I admit I am currently slightly under the weather with a cold, no big deal. Um,

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
But in the FBI, as it has evolved since the Obama era, he says an acknowledgement by the bureau that an attacker may have been radicalized by fundamentalist Islam would implicitly concede that there is something about that ideology that inspires violent attacks against infidels. Can't have that. They're not willing to go there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And that, of course, explains why they're moving on immediately, the media as well, from New Orleans. But let's talk about the UK, because this rape scandal of children at the hands of immigrants is...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
That's been covered up, was covered up for years and years and years, allegedly in part because they were concerned that the the rapists, the alleged rapists were Pakistani and they didn't want to be seen as picking on immigrants or going against people of color and accusing them of rape.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
at the expense of the well-being and safety of children, may be the most pernicious and disgusting example of this woke ideology and this fear of upsetting or offending any person of color or any Muslim that I've seen in decades, Ben. What's happening in the UK is a deep, disgusting scandal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I feel more clear headed because as the news events hit over the past couple of weeks, you just have a better perspective on them when you're grounded, when you're with people you love and who love you, when you are part of nature and get better connected to it. And you can kind of see, oh, this is worth fighting over. Oh, this isn't. This is bullshit. This isn't. That kind of thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
This is the Christopher Hitchens thing, Ben. This is the Christopher Hitchens prediction come to life, right? Who was out there in, I think, 2009 saying, we have got to call out what's happening in London and elsewhere with the infiltration of this ideology before it's too late. And if we wait too long, all we're going to hear is you're Islamophobic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
That's Islamophobia, as opposed to reckoning with the real facts, which is this is not just a religion. This is an ideology that means to conquer.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Okay, so let's get to it. We've got two of the best guests in the industry in America to bring you different perspectives today. We're going to kick it off in a minute with Ben Shapiro, and then Glenn Greenwald comes up in our second hour. How about that for a We're Back show?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
That's exactly right. And we could see it happening. I mean, when Angela Merkel was chancellor of Germany, she opened the borders. There was a massive influx of immigrants who culturally were about as different from Germans as you could get and shamed anybody who pushed back against it as an Islamophobe, as a xenophobe, as a bigot. And now they're dealing with the real life consequences of that.

Eventually, the people find their voices and say, well, I don't want this. It's one thing. And by the way, we've had plenty of time since then to figure out whether these people want to assimilate or not. Right. They want to pretend that every immigrant, whether it's Germany, Canada, the UK, France.

or the United States, is akin to the Irish and Italians who came to America in the early 20th century. That they just want a new life and that they're going to adopt the local culture and, you know, it's melting pot. It's not so. And you're seeing examples like what we saw in the UK, not to mention, look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali. You know, she's obviously one of the greatest thinkers alive.

Warning in her book, Pray, P-R-E-Y, about what's happening to women and young girls in these European countries as a result of these immigrants. And one by one, these leaders are starting starting to fall, Ben. I mean, you tell me whether it actually leads to a change in thinking on the left akin to what we're seeing the left sort of wrestle with in the wake of the Trump victory.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
We have got to cover this tragic terror attack, which killed 14 people in the early morning hours after New Year's in New Orleans. We're still learning more about the man who committed the act. And then a couple hours after that, a Green Beret blew himself up in a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
They were foreseeable, and they were completely ignored as actual risks, as were all the risks that were being raised by the right as we saw open borders take hold in country after country during the time of Obama. What's happening up in Canada... may or may not be part of the same wave. I mean, there's so many problems with the way Justin Trudeau has run Canada. It's hard to really pick the one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
But as of today, Justin Trudeau says he will resign as prime minister as soon as the Liberal Party elects a new leader. He says his successor will be selected after a nationwide process, which means the Liberal Party will take the lengthier route of choosing a new leader through a grassroots process. It could take several weeks. It means he could be in power.

I'm thrilled our friendly neighbors in our evil top hat, as Michael Knowles calls Canada, have come to their senses and effectively forced him to this decision. So what do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
A bizarre story that does not appear to be related to the terror attack across the country in New Orleans, though at first people thought perhaps they were related. Today, however, we have to start with the fact that it's January 6th and they are literally treating it on the left like it is 9-11. It is ridiculous. I mean, it's got an actual function.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
It's Trudeau's Canada that produced Melody Wiseheart, the 50-year-old man who's being allowed to swim with 12-year-old girls because he identifies as a 12-year-old girl, which is weird because he drives his car to and from the swim meets, which we all know a 12-year-old girl would not be allowed to do.

This is on X. The prime minister decides to go and Canada says, thank God. No witch hunts, no matter how angry people are at the PM. Once he's gone, leave him alone, move on, but never forget. Never forget the horrible management of the country. Never be fooled again by a candidate offering sunny ways. Never buy into theater.

Never again think a totally unqualified person is fine to leave the country. That was a bullet we just dodged here in America too. Don't listen to a man claiming to be a feminist who betrays and fires every woman who ever disagrees with them. Don't believe that people who act woke all the time won't cost average working people dearly. And finally he says, Never forget incompetence.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Because we have had the stupidest waste of taxpayers' money in the history of Canada. Therefore, once Trudeau is gone, we must punish the Liberal Party with a massive election loss. Lessons must be taught. Now, if that worm turns in Canada and Pierre takes over, it is a new era. ball game, Ben Shapiro.

It's the day that the 2024 election will be officially certified. But it is more importantly to the corporate media, the day that they will celebrate their favorite anniversary to smear all Trump supporters. And again, to treat this day as though it does live in infamy akin to that of 9-11 or Pearl Harbor. We'll show you an example.

Here he is. Our audience may remember this, but this is sort of how we first came to see this guy. Like, who is this wonderful man when he was eating the apple and the antagonistic media reporter was trying to get him and compare him to Trump, and he just wasn't having it. He was just stone cold. He is the opposite in every way as a man, as a politician of Justin Trudeau. Watch.

He's just, the guy's unflappable and just doesn't tolerate fools. It's just a, it's a beauty. I feel like even the Canadians who are allowing Melody Wisehart to swim in the 12-year-old races. See, he's a gopher. He's officially a gopher. That's what they call the league. Even those Canadians have got to see him now that the field is being cleared and say, eh, maybe it's worth a try.

who the tech industry has used prolifically, who Elon defends, Vivek defends, but people like Steve Bannon and our friend Batya Angersargan, who writes for Newsweek and is much more focused on the working class, has said... They don't want that we've had enough of this, that these are jobs Americans would take with proper training and so on. And here's the thing that stood out to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Trump sided with Elon and Vivek basically saying he's always been for these visas. Here's the thing that stood out to me. The Vivek Ramaswamy ex-post on December 26th. I think I can bring this to you as a former geek yourself who's no longer geeky. But I mean, you are like the most brilliant person your whole life who is always crushing everybody in every class.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I would love to get your take on Vivek's way into this controversy. Like you can defend the visas. You can not defend the visas. But my friend Vivek, this is not the way. This is not the way. He drops the following. The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers over Native Americans isn't because of an innate American IQ deficit, a lazy and wrong explanation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
A key part of it comes down to the C word, culture. A culture that celebrates the prom queen or the math Olympia champ or the jock over the valedictorian. My friend. This is a great way to produce, I guess, better engineers, but not to produce better men who the women actually want.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
We don't create our men in some laboratory where they're all Steve Urkels. We want guys who are, we like prom kings. We like sleepovers. We like people who develop social skills in addition to math skills.

And this comes down to me as like, I, having been a product, not myself, but like my kids, of the New York City private school system, realize there are so many schools there who are looking to create the perfect SAT score. They want to create your child into the perfect SAT score. Well, I don't want that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And having moved now to Connecticut and found a school that actually cares about the whole child, about creating great young men and young women, it really puts the fine point on it. Yes, they need sleepovers. They need socialization. They need some stupid cartoons. They actually need sports. They need a whole bunch of things other than... Math, mathletes.

There are trade-offs. And I think about this all the time because just given the circles that I'm in and the way I'm living in these so-called super zips or near these so-called super zips, where it's like a lot of wealth and a lot of advantage and privilege. And I always think like, okay, it's great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
You know, I definitely, you could turn any kid into the mathlete who never does a sleepover, who's only, you know, doing practice tests and follows the Vivek plan to become the number one engineer. And you know what? You'd wind up with somebody who's probably not a leader.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Because actual leaders who people want to be around and want to elect and want to follow have social skills and really interesting, deep personalities and a wealth of experience and exposure to other people and develop their EQs in addition to their IQs in a way that's really important. Just ask Donald Trump, who I believe is the opposite of a mathlete. You know, it's just it's so small.

No, no. I actually think it's kind of cute. It's kind of charming. He's not wrong that like if you do want great engineers, I suppose they do need to live something close to the athlete life.

Let's talk about President Biden because he is still president. And you point out this is the most alive he's been in a long time. And there were a couple of headlines of him.

But in the meantime, in his final days, he is doing everything possible to thwart the Trump agenda, from striking this deal with certain workers that they can work from home interminably, to now making it impossible for us to do drilling behind pretty much off of the entire East Coast. And Trump tried to undo Barack Obama's attempt to do that to him when he took over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Trump took over in 16 and Barack Obama had tried to do this. And Trump tried to undo it by executive order. It was challenged in the course and Trump lost. So there is a better than average chance that Joe Biden's moves will hold. Meanwhile, Trump ran on drill, baby, drill. The American people voted for this. And Joe Biden with his or maybe it's Joe Biden. Maybe it's not Joe.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Yeah, it's great to be back. All right, so the... I don't know, the panty ringing over January 6th and the reminder by President Biden that this needs to stay top of mind in the memory of the American people. It cannot be forgotten. You know, it's so strange, Ben.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
It's amazing. The January 6th thing. And, you know, right on brand as we head into January 6th, who gets honored by President Biden, not with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but with one step down, like the commendation one under Biden. But Liz Cheney, because what did the Democrats love more than the Cheneys?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Mm hmm. It's really I mean, it's pretty galling. And of course, it's just they just want to call attention to January 6th. And they continue trying to sell it as the new 9-11.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And the American public is just not buying it, no matter how many dark Brandon's speeches we have, how many attempts to declare Trump an insurrectionist and keep him off the ballot we have, or how many presidential medals we have given to. I mean, nobody pays attention to these civilian medals. It's like Anna Wintour was given like what? How does she get?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And I think she got the one higher than Liz Cheney, by the way. There's somebody. Yes, I have this here in my packet. Somebody is upset. Some leftist is upset that Liz Cheney didn't get what Anna Wintour got. It's CNN medical analyst Jonathan Reiner says. So Biden awarded Liz Cheney a lesser recognition than Anna Wintour, Denzel Washington and Bill Nye, the science guy. Indefensible.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
This is the Presidential Medal of Freedom. No public figure has demonstrated courage in the defense of freedom more than Liz Glenn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I don't remember anybody doing that about the BLM protests, what happened in Portland, the 2,000 cops who were hurt in those riots, David Dorn, who was killed in St. Louis in June of 20... None of that has to be remembered. Just Jay 6th, which, you know, the alleged police officer death toll, they continue to make up since no police died on January 6th.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So when Joe Biden gave Liz Cheney the award, as there always is when it's Joe Biden and a woman, any woman, could be Betsy DeVos, who came on my show a couple of years ago to say that she was in a wheelchair after having hurt her leg. And he basically me too'd her forehead. I don't... I don't understand exactly, but it happened to the little girls whose hair he sniffs to Liz Cheney.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Joe Biden doesn't know when to let go of any female in his presence. He in this video here, you'll see he he's got her by the hand. She's kind of like, give me my award. OK, I've got the award. She tries to pull away. He won't let go. He's holding on to the hand. At one point, she actually does roll her eyes. She still doesn't have the award. He's still holding on to it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And I don't know exactly what's going on here, Glenn, but it's probably further evidence of the president's decline. I'm just going to give you one more on the back of that one. Last night, he gave an interview. Well, he didn't give an interview. He's caught at the White House on camera speaking to reporters. This is from Fox News.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
We went back to look at the original to see what led to this moment. What was it, a question about Debbie Murphy? Somebody asked him a question about what? Oh, asked him about Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship. OK, that was the question that preceded the outburst. You will hear from Joe Biden right here. Listen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Wait, what? So what's happening there, Glenn?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
But they talk about it truly as though it is akin to the 9-11 terror attacks. What do you make of the, as I say, ringing that's going on?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And yet we had ready as we went to break, uh, PolitiFact saying the lie of the year was Trump's they're eating the dogs. They're eating the pets. That was the lie of the year, not Joe Biden's fine and can totally do a second term. It was what a joke. You mentioned a couple of media, um, defenses of Joe Biden's mental acuity. We've got some of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Here's Simone Sanders, um, on meet the press on Sunday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Oh, really? She was referring to Chuck Schumer there, which I'll just play to before I toss it to you, Glenn. Kristen Welker, the moderator, confronted Chuck Schumer over the many lies he told about Biden being a superhero behind the scenes. You know, if only we could see him the way Schumer sees him. He's you know, he's an Einstein ready to do rhetorical battle with anybody at any point.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Here he here she is confronting Schumer on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So he doesn't answer. He's a great guy. He's a patriot. That does not speak to whether he has the mental acuity to do another four years, never mind complete the existing four.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
No. And by the way, Kristen Welker is equally guilty because there's a clip of her post the June debate, post the meltdown, defending Biden's mental acuity when she was interviewing Doug Burgum, who was raising serious questions about it. Here's that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Look at that, Glenn. She won't. She interrupts him. She won't let him back up his point. She claims there's no proof that he he doesn't have the mental acuity to be president. This is days after that disastrous debate that would wind up causing him to lose massive support and wind up having to go. And then she what is she? Why? What is so pressing that she needs to move on to?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Oh, Trump told 30 lies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Meanwhile, over at CBS, there is one woman, Jan Crawford Greenberg, who – or maybe she's just Jan Crawford now. I think she may have gotten a divorce. In any event, she stands as a beacon of reason, or at least attempted in this case, when the subject comes up on her network of what the most underreported story of 2024 was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
It's interesting because she just had a situation where she took on her network – in a, in a tape that was leaked when, um, Tony Docapool kind of went after, uh, Ta-Nehisi Coates, right. Who, who had spent 10 days in Israel and declared himself an expert and wrote a book about it, which I think I feel like you should spend more than 10 days there before you write it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Anyway, um, the, the anchor got a ton of blowback and like disciplined. And she stood up in this meeting to say, what are, what's our process? Because you had one guy coming on with one POV and he challenged him with a different POV. And isn't that called journalism? Anyway, here she is again on, um, what actually was the most under reported story.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Mm hmm. Now they're closer to doing it than ever because they lost. So now you can see they're genuinely thinking, OK, some some sincere soul searching might be in order so that we don't lose again. It's not so that they can save their reputations or do good journalism, Glenn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Kamala Harris didn't even know what the 25th Amendment was. I got dollars to donuts. She probably thought it was the rental car policy that requires you to be 25 years old before you can rent a car. This woman was out there, couldn't even lead the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance a couple of days. She doesn't even know the pledge or she says it so infrequently she forgot it in the moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I'm sorry, but it was ridiculous. Here's that moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
To the flag. It's what kids used to say every day, at least in elementary school, including yours truly. And my little guy in his elementary school did, too. But Kamala Harris, I don't know. I guess they didn't do that out in Canada where she was raised.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Well, that's an interesting question. Which is the bigger lie, that Joe Biden was competent for the job or that Kamala Harris was?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Yeah. Just like her accents were a fraud. We gonna win. We gonna win. Have you not decency, man? It's just so fake. I don't know. I'm asking myself that same question, which is the bigger lie, that he was competent to do the job or that she was? God, they're tied because Joe Biden... Was totally incompetent. He did not have the mental acuity. He still doesn't. And he's still president right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I certainly couldn't do a second term. And she I mean, in my lifetime, she's the biggest moron to ever run for president or vice president ever. And that became more and more obvious day after day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I know. No, it's similar to how they've run out of real examples of racism everywhere. So they have to make them up. You know, they've run out of examples to make Trump supporters look horrible. So they've got to exaggerate what happened on January 6th to make it into one of the riots that they did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
It's amazing. Thank God the American people saw right through it. Now, they saw through most of the media lies. I have to say that's why Trump won. But it wasn't for lack of trying on the media's part to mislead them. And Grabian, who does these great mashups, put together some of the lies that we saw from the media leading up to the election. And just in 2024, we've only cut a minute soundbite.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
This could go on. But here's a sampling. Look at this. Sot9.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
That is amazing. What a great montage of the lying, the lying they did because every one of those, I believe they knew they were lying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
That, you know, I just referenced and after BLM and after George Floyd, they've got to make it sound like the right. Those are the rioters. Those are the insurrectionists. Those are the ones who are truly a problem. I just went back because we've covered the 2000 cops who were hurt during the BLM riots and David Dorn, who was shot and killed by looters in St. Louis, retired police officer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Mm-hmm, exactly right. That's why that weird thing about J.D. Vance caught fire because they all loved it so much. It got Tim Walz the nomination, which was great, as it turns out, for the Republican ticket. And once again, proves that they just don't have the power anymore. The American public sees through these lies. They knew Tim Walz was the weird one. J.D. Vance is not weird at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
He's actually quite normal, which is one of his best selling points. Now, that's the Democrat Party. The Republican Party does not and has not for a long time marched in lockstep. They are like the big Italian family that airs its grievances very publicly. And That brings me to Elon Musk versus Steve Bannon, which we will cover right after this quick commercial break.

Glenn, I mentioned this with Ben Shapiro, but there was an intraparty fight that erupted over the past two weeks when it comes to H-1B visas, which allow foreign workers to come over to the United States and work here. And it was Musk and Vivek versus Steve Bannon and some core MAGA or working class supporters, too, on whether these are a good thing or a bad thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Trump ultimately sided with Elon. But it kind of emerged after the weird Vivek tweet into more of a fight between Elon and Bannon, those two, I mean, behemoths doing rhetorical battle. And here's just an example of what Bannon said to Elon Musk on Bannon's show, you know, not directly, but into the ether. Sat 21.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Oh boy, Elon had tweeted, I don't know that this was directly to Steve Bannon, but had tweeted, the reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H-1B. Take a big step back and fuck yourself in the face. I will go to war on this issue, the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So, I mean, two extremely strong messages from two extremely strong messengers, both close to Trump, both within the GOP. Your take on it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So it's just such a delight to be in the snow, to see those fat flakes falling and to have the holidays, especially in that setting. Absolutely loved it. We did our costume nights. You know, that's a big thing for me every year around the Christmas holiday where we do a costume night. I pick the theme And I surprised my family with their costumes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And where do those cops go to have somebody remember their traumatic brain injuries, injuries to their face, to their femurs, to their bodies as Molotov cocktails were thrown at them, as bricks were thrown at them, broken bones. I don't think they're going to get an op-ed by the sitting president in the Washington Post like we got from Joe Biden today what Americans should remember.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
It's so funny to watch. Bannon, you got to hand it to him, has a way of condensing the issue. Converts sit in the back, and then Elon, not one to be trifled with, with the, fuck your face, I will die on this hill. It's on. It's going to be dramatic and fun and consequential, hugely consequential for... four years. Quick sojourn back to January 6th day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
They just did certify the electoral college results without a single objection. The joint session took roughly 30 minutes and Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Yay. On January 20th of this month. Not everyone's happy about it. And many people would like us to be more focused on the insurrection that he personally unleashed, if you ask them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
As we discussed earlier, they think it's as bad as like the Holocaust. And you don't have to take my word for it. Here is Sonny Hostin of The View.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Yeah, the January 6th is right up there next to the Holocaust and slavery, Glenn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Mm hmm. So that reminds me that last night, Hollywood held the Golden Globes and the comedian who was the host. Forgive me, I can't remember her name right now. She started. OK, yeah. She started with a remark that was on point to the effect of there's so many powerful people here. There's absolutely nothing you can do except elect a president. Yeah. which was good. Correct.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
about them, about those riots. But what we hear from Biden today is that we must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets his past is doomed to repeat it. Lamenting that in time, there will be Americans who didn't witness the January 6th riot firsthand, but we'll learn about it from footage and testimony only. This is ridiculous, Ben.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Cause everyone in that room probably voted for Kamala Harris. And the one thing I wanted to raise with you was I didn't tweet a lot while I was on my vacation. I wanted to spend my time with my family. You know, I really, really try.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I stay up on the news, but I try not to tweet or get too into it just because, you know, then it blows up in like a Twitter thing that's distracting and you're thinking about it. And I didn't want to be thinking about that. I OK, so but I did send a tweet out Sunday night, right? Sunday night or Saturday night, because I made the mistake of watching the movie Conclave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And I blame my husband, Doug, who said, let's watch the movie Conclave. That's really all we did. But we thought it was billed as a thriller involving the Vatican and the process of selecting a new pope. So that sounded kind of good. I'm into thrillers. I love thrillers, actually. And I thought maybe there'd be like a murder and you have to figure out who done it or, you know, whatever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
In no world, and yes, I am about to offer the spoiler of this movie, and I hope you don't care because I hope you don't watch it. In no world did I predict that the big twist was they would elect a new pope. The whole thing is about the process of electing a new pope who is intersex, who is purportedly a man, but has female reproductive organs. That's the big twist at the end.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And along the way, every single cardinal you meet in the Catholic Church is disgusting, except for, but not really even except for, the one liberal guy from America who's like pushing for more women in the church and a bigger role for women, but he turns out to be pretty craven too. They're all gross. And then...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
The only one who has any virtue is the one who's secretly a woman, and then maybe Ralph Fiennes, who plays the cardinal shepherding the process, who then allows said intersex pope to become pope without telling anybody. And I tweeted out that this was disgusting, that it was anti-Catholic, that I was offended, repulsed by what I saw. And then somebody asked me,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
The screenwriter, it was based on a book written a few years ago, the screenwriter, Peter Straughan, about my criticism, apparently, last night at the Globes, saying she called it, me, anti-Catholic. And he, quote, rejected my claim, saying, I don't think it is. I was brought up Catholic. Some of my best friends are Catholic. He says, I was brought up Catholic. I was an altar boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Well, Peter Straughan, those days are obviously long gone. And he says, I think the core message of Conclave is about the church always having to re-find its spiritual core because it deals with so much power. I don't believe that at all. It's not about having to re-find its spiritual core. It was an attempt to embarrass and humiliate Catholics." And I get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
You and I both know that's how we talk about the Holocaust. That is how we talk about 9-11 and things like that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I understand that the Catholic Church has had its problems, Glenn, but I'm sick of this bullshit because they always do this, whether it's Catholics or Christians. There is one religion that they love to mock, smear, and belittle. And if you look at all the times that they've mocked, smeared, and belittled religions, Catholicism and Christians would be at the very, very top.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
And there's not a second close contender. And it's reflected in the write-ups of the movie. Like Variety's Peter DeBruge calls this movie one of the most satisfying twists in years. And that's what we're talking about. A Hail Mary that both surprises and restores one's faith. maybe not everyone's, but certainly that of the disillusioned. Vulture's film critic calls it sinfully entertaining.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
They love to see the Catholics humiliated. A film like this would never, never be made about Islam or Muslims.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Don't bother. Don't bother. Because it's like, I think they won for best screenplay, I think, and they didn't win the other awards. But Ralph Fiennes was up. Stanley Tucci's in it. John Lithgow, of course, you know, he's another one who's a far left guy.

He made that clear in his portrayal of Roger Ailes in the bombshell movie and the interviews thereafter, which I paid attention to for obvious reasons. Um, it's ridiculous. And honestly, like I've said to my audience before, I have a very high threshold for offense. It's really hard to offend me. I guess I'm, I'm not saying I was offended.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
I didn't feel like deeply offended, but I was unsettled by what I saw. I, I, I was pissed. I just think that I'm sick of the Christian Catholic bashing by Hollywood. And it's one of the other reasons why I can't stand that entire industry. Glenn Greenwald. Thank you, my friend.

You too. All right, before we go, speaking of Hollywood, guess what? Tomorrow we have an exclusive interview with Brian Friedman, my lawyer, my friend, and the lawyer who is now representing Justin Baldoni. in a massive lawsuit against the New York times around Blake lively and her allegations against Justin. All right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
So she is claiming some things about Justin and the New York times printed it like a stenographer. And now Justin is through Brian Friedman is suing the New York times. And Brian is here in an exclusive and explosive interview tomorrow. Don't miss that. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

No, if you've been paying any attention to what's happened to the J6 protesters slash rioters, and I make no excuse for those who actually committed violence against cops that day, they should and have been punished. But those who just wandered into the Capitol where there's so

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
many who aimlessly wandered into the Capitol thinking that they were allowed there or that at best they were committing a minor trespass. They have more than paid for that very egregious mistake, as it turns out, because the whole world was watching and Biden wanted to make a political point. His DOJ wanted to make a political point.

And this year, actually, we'll put this up on the YouTube show. The theme was Back to the Future. And it was hilarious. I made Doug George McFly. you know, the geeky dad. It was amazing. I was Jennifer, Marty McFly's girlfriend from the 80s. And my son Yates was Marty. My son Thatcher was Doc. And my daughter Yardley was Lorraine, the 1950s version. Anyway, it was great.

Um, but to hear the media talk about this, this solemn anniversary, Ben is to, again, it reminds me of nine 11, having lived through nine 11. This is what it brings up for me. Here's an example.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
On the knife's edge. On the knife's edge. And then there's... I'll give you one more, Ben. The AP today seems very upset that the Capitol was not left a mess so that we could go back today, four years later, and look at the scars and lament how bad MAGA is and its return to power, saying in the lead line, inside the Capitol... Reminders of the violence are increasingly hard to find.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
Scars on the walls have been repaired. Windows and doors broken by the rioters have been replaced. And there is no plaque, display, or remembrance of any kind. In some ways, it's like the insurrection of January 6, 2021 that shook the foundations of American democracy never even happened.

I'm sure he's thrilled. The what they're doing in New Orleans is very interesting to me. And we've seen it done time and time again. They're much more interested in what happened out in Las Vegas because that guy was a Trump supporter. OK, great. We're on to something. Let's talk about Vegas. This guy, he's a nutcase and he appears to be a right winger.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
But the guy in New Orleans who's, you know, apparently affiliated with or pledges loyalty to ISIS, it's time to move on. That's really not that interesting, even though 14 people are dead in New Orleans as a result of his behavior. And you had this is while we were on break or I was on break.

Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
But on January 1st, you had the FBI agent Althea Duncan, who's in charge of the Bureau's New Orleans field office, come out, stopping short of even calling it a terrorist attack. Here's that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media Obsessed with January 6 To Smear Trump Supporters, and Biden's Bizarre Outburst, with Ben Shapiro and Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 976
How is it not a terrorist attack? The guy had an Islamic State flag affixed to his rented Ford pickup truck. Later, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division would say it was 100% inspired by ISIS. The 42-year-old behind it, Shamsuddin Jabbar, who was a U.S. citizen from Texas and an Army vet, had apparently pledged his allegiance to ISIS via the New York Times.

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
Yeah. Eliana, this is what I was trying to say to her. Like, basically, you guys at The Times are not fooling anyone. Everyone knows that you're leftist. And everyone who listens to this show knows I'm more on the right.

And in owning it and just expressly saying this is what I'm going to do in the ballot box and this is what I think you should do, it's not as big a transgression off of where we used to be as she would have us believe. There's no one in America who thinks the majority of New York Times staffers voted Trump.

And speaking of corporate media, I went over to the New York Times earlier this month. I mean, the actual New York Times building, the belly of the beast, and sat down for two hours for their, quote, the interview podcast. This is part of the biggest podcast. podcast in America called The Daily, which the New York Times drops Monday through Friday.

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
Yeah. Okay. So I, I've had these debates online and, um, the audience knows I love Sasha stone. She's, she has a great sub stack, uh, free thinking through the fourth turning, which she turns into a podcast. And I love she's been on the program, but she, she asked this online recently and I took a stab at answering it and we had like a back and forth on it, but she was asking like, well,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
I'm going to screw it up, but it was basically, why are they doing this? Like, why, why, why did they do this to us? They continue to pretend that they're, um, neutral and we know they're not. And I said that they genuinely believe they're neutral. Like they're not like, Oh, I'm, I'm biased and I don't want anyone to find out Eliana. They're like, no, I, we are the truthful ones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
Like we're, we are the gatekeepers, you know, like what is life going to be like if there are no rules? What? And in fact, she and I kind of got into this too, or she's like, you know, what does that look like? You know, where the rules are out the window. And here's a little bit of that in stop five.

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And then on Saturday, they drop, quote, the interview podcast with millions of downloads per episode. And I have some thoughts and some behind the scenes moments for you on what happened, how it came out and why I did it. So let's get into it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
The only way one succeeds in this medium is by violating all those rules that we used to have in journalism, where you don't really talk about yourself at all. You don't talk about your opinions. You might have a bias. Your only goal is to hide it, not to own it and then get past it with the audience. It's just a whole new world and it's okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
We used to be much more partisan and openly partisan in our journalism and our media. you know, 100 plus years ago, and we survived that just fine. And we will survive this just fine too. What the audience wants from me is my authentic self and no filter. What they can smell from a mile away is a phony. So they have no problem with me endorsing Trump, even if they don't like Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
What they would have a problem with is me pretending I don't have a horse in the race and going out and trying to deliver the news as though I'm completely objective and I'm just as open-minded to Kamala as I am to Donald Trump. And the secret addendum to that, Eliana, is that is not only actually the rule for me in new media, it's actually the rule for you too, Lulu.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038

But I genuinely believe that woman is there. Like I, you know, I don't remember ever tweeting that, but that sounds right. You know, like I genuinely believe that woman took to the congressional seat last week and was like, I'm not biased. And NPR is not biased. You know, like we, we check our bias. There's a, there's a legit wall between me and the actual reporters at NPR, Emily.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And you know, that protects us from how, and then when you ask the followup question, we're like, What about the people on the other side of that wall? What have you done to satisfy yourself that they're not just like you? And reflecting those biases in their reporting, it's like the monkey with the see no evil, hear no evil, speak like I know nothing.

The White House Correspondents Association is reversing course, deciding that we are now in such a, quote, consequential moment for journalism that they will be canceling their scheduled comedian for their big gala in late April and focusing only on honoring the very important work our corporate media does every day to fight for democracy or something like that.

Because they see how many people literally how many people in Americans can say that they've interviewed both Trump accusers on the sexual assault or harassment front and Tara Reid. Literally, I might be the only one. The New York Times cannot say that. That's what I was trying to say to her.

There was another part that didn't make the dance where I said, look, to me, it's funny that you're asking this about me and how I can maintain my ability to criticize him, notwithstanding my endorsement, because I said, this is the sin of which the left is guilty. You know, like no one on the left can really ask this question you're asking me.

There are very few who actually do raise these questions on their own side and who are willing to go after Kamala and Joe Biden or Barack Obama or, God forbid, Michelle Obama in the way I go after the right and Trump. They just won't do it.

After that, she said, I'll say that Ezra Klein, one of my colleagues, was one of the earliest people to call for Biden to drop out of the race. And I said, where was the Times editorial doing that at any point prior to the debate?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And he was only saying that he's old. Ezra Klein was saying Biden's too old. He wasn't saying he's lost it. You know, he's like, oh, he's too old to be. And, you know, she said, oh, well, I said, where was that? Where's the Times editorial doing that before that debate? She said, well, the editorial pages, as you know, are different than the news pages. And I said, where was the news coverage?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
Where was the news coverage? Where was Peter Baker documenting the fact that these brain doctors had been to the White House 10 times over the prior year? And she said, I'm not going to litigate the Times' coverage. And I understood she was not there to defend the New York Times, which I totally get.

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
Like, she wasn't sent to me to come on my show as a representative of the Times and to defend them. She's like, I'm trying to do a nice profile of you, lady. Why do you keep attacking me? I was basically saying you can't ask me how I could possibly be fair to Trump, notwithstanding my endorsement. When you're the New York Times, you just can't do it.

On any, it's not just the Times, we're picking on them because I sat with them, but... NPR with her little firewall. Those NPR reporters weren't running around covering the Joe Biden mental acuity problems. And you all saw last week and when it happened, what they did with the Hunter Biden laptop. Our viewers aren't interested in that fake news story. That's the problem.

Neither the editorial nor the journalism side is open-minded to any bad news to Democrats that doesn't dovetail with their worldview. If a Democrat works with a Republican, they might do a negative story on him. Right. But like they're not going to cover things that could actually undermine Joe Biden's chances of reelection in an honest way. And everyone knows it. That's what I was trying to say.

Like you go back 150 years in this country. We used to be very partisan. You know, that so-called yellow journalism period. People used to pick up different rags to read and they would completely affirm their worldview on the right and the left. And that's how life was. And we did just fine. And if we're in a country where you're, quote, siloed that way, it's okay.

The reality is we already are there. That is where we already are. We're just pretending in the so-called mainstream that we're not, that those are still our gatekeepers.

who doesn't totally endorse the way Donald Trump has behaved his entire life or with respect to us or an individual like, let's say, John McCain or the Gold Star families in the first race and so on can come around to supporting him.

Great to see you both. Good to be here. Um, okay. So why I went over to the New York times, they, they gave me this invitation and I talked with Steve Krakauer, my executive producer about it quite a bit. And Abby's funny. Cause she always like gets the incoming. She's like, don't do it. She's like, they're going to hate you. And she's very defensive of me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
But Steve was more like, we should consider this one. And we talked about it. And I have a couple of things that we're promoting right now, like our AM update and our expansion into this more podcast network where we're bringing on other voices and trying to promote them. So I thought if I were to do it, this would be a time.

,,,, ,,,,,,, And she's right. She did encourage me to launch the podcast. And I remember she sent me a text that said something like, the lesbians are for it. Because she was seeing a bunch of either lesbian podcasters or just friends after a drink we had. And I appreciated that. Now, honestly, I was very open-minded to Kara Swisher. Yeah.

Understood our politics are very different, but you know, I have a lot of friends who are on the other side of the aisle and I would never make those the stakes of a relationship. You know where things went south was she didn't like my COVID commentary once I actually did launch the podcast, either on the show or on X, which was then Twitter.

And the truth is I listen to The Daily most days, and I talk about The Daily on this show a lot, and I'm a weird fan of the show. I love to rip on it, but I do learn from it as well. I think it's a useful podcast. Sometimes it's useful just to bash. Sometimes it actually does provide information.

And I was pointing out that young people were getting myocarditis, especially young teenage men, and dying and suffering the world over as a result of these vaccines. And it wasn't being disclosed. And I was citing Dr. Vinay Prasad, who was way ahead on this issue, was having pediatric cardiologists on his show and talking about it. She didn't like that. None of the left liked that.

And unfortunately, she invited me to go on her podcast and I agreed. That's not the unfortunate part. I said, fine, I'll do it. I was fine. I'm fine mixing it up with people. I was scheduled to go on, I think on a Tuesday or a Wednesday and the previous Friday, so like five days prior to my sister died. My sister unexpectedly had a heart attack and died at age 58.

This is five days in advance, but I knew very well I wasn't going to be doing anybody's podcast. And she responded, not the assistant, she responded and and said, oh, that sounds like a good idea.

Like she wasn't really accepting that it was a personal thing that had happened to me. She thought I was trying to avoid her because I was on X saying controversial things that she was

Like I'm afraid of having somebody ask me tough questions or mixing it up. And Abby responded by saying, actually, her sister died. And she writes back, oh, well, I was only joking. I was only joking, you know, sorry.

And like the last correspondence we had had was, sure, I'd be happy to come on your podcast. Then she shits on me to my assistant and finds out that she's a shit, that I've had a death in the family, someone close to me.

She tries to cover her own ass with, because she knows she's now made herself look terrible. And from that point forward, all she's done is rip on me and frankly, vice versa.

I think she's a bad person. I think there's a kind of person that cannot put politics to the side. She liked me when she thought I was a me too loving NBC News employee. And once she realized I wasn't, That I really am more conservative in my worldview. That I would question the COVID vaccines.

And not revealing in the first email my personal tragedy, which Abby would never do without my permission anyway. It's just... To me, this just shows what we're up against.

Where the rule here at the Gridiron, at the Al Smith dinner, all of which are events at which the president will typically appear. I mean, it's a great get. The president will come and he'll make fun of himself and he'll take the press's barbs too, or those of a comedian. And it's like a spirit of unity. But the rule was always singe don't burn. That is the rule until Trump.

And then these comedians started coming out and lighting bonfires about Sarah's Huckabee Sanders and her devil mascara or whatever the line was. I can't remember it. It was mean and ripping Trump like talk about burning. I mean, it was truly like five alarm fire burning. OK, we have we have an example of this. Yeah. Here is a montage. Oh, here we go.

Oh, my God. That is just so typical leftist. It's not funny. It's political. It's ripping Trump. She's looking for applause, not laughs. And so Eugene Daniels was like, yeah, right on. That's our girl. Let's do this. So she gets hired and the Trump White House through a spokesperson, a deputy comms person tweets out. I think I think comms tweets out something like, really, really? Really?

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038

And truth be told, I kind of like him and we have a friendly relationship. We're not friends, but friendly. So in any event, I decided to go over there. So it was 90 minutes sitting down together in the New York Times building. And then it was another, I don't know, half an hour or 45 minutes the next day after you've had a time to reflect, which is kind of funny.

Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038

And only when she came out and said the truth about what she's going to do to Samantha Bee on this podcast was he then forced, because the White House and the right were completely ripping them to shreds. And I'm sure that there were many right-leaning journalists saying, we're not going, not going to go sit there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And the administration, I mean, Trump's not going already, but maybe they got an administration official or two, I'm sure all of whom said we're out. Then he issues this statement saying the White House Correspondents Association board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year.

Yeah, or you know what would have been so easy, Eliana? Go for Jim Gaffigan, who spoke at the Al Smith dinner. He's a comedian. He's never been really a Trump fan, but he did a great job that night of ripping on both sides. Remember, this is the one that Kamala didn't show up at. It's this big Catholic ado in New York City.

We were there, and Trump clearly finds him acceptable because Trump showed up. Gaffigan was there. Trump was there. Trump laughed. He was very able to make fun of himself, very open to it. If it's a singe, not burn. It's not that hard. Just freaking pay up. Go with Gavin and go with somebody, you know, Trump. But they didn't they don't care. They don't want Trump there.

That's not her goal. Like Stephen Colbert, like Jimmy Kimmel. Well, that was another thing I forgot to mention that Lulu and I had an exchange on my time at NBC and Blackface. And there was a point which I said, you know, look, I was asking the question about when did that go from being something you could do with impunity to something you'd get canceled for?

That's also why we have more black Santas everywhere. So you're welcome everyone. Um, and so I said, did everyone knows now? And, uh, she was like, and then here's, I hear, I'll tell you what I said.

That was understood and not surprising. But I didn't sit across from her thinking, this is someone who can't stand me. And that would have led to a bad interview had I felt that way.

And really, this is a point we just kept coming back to where she thinks in a way you can be too honest if you get on stage with a political candidate and endorse him and tell people you're voting for him and you think they should too, that you've crossed a bridge. that burns as you walk across it and you can never return back over to journalism land. And I just didn't see it that way at all.

We had a long debate and a lot of debates about owning one's bias. And she didn't understand if you own your bias, like doesn't that sell your soul basically? That how can the audience then trust you to rip on your own side? And the following soundbite is in that context, top one.

I think the most serious thing I've heard about him has been the E. Jean Carroll allegation that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf dressing room. And I don't believe one word of that.

My problem is more with these Democrats who will bury these allegations against their candidates or their candidates' spouses and then play holier than thou when they're looking at Donald Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
No, I'm still a journalist. I mean, I break news all the time. And when I sit with Trump or anybody else in the administration, I ask tough questions. I mean, as recently as September of 23, I interviewed Trump and he got so mad at me. He didn't talk to me for six or seven months. So it's not... Look, it's a tough job to do. You have to be able to hit the people you admire. And I do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
You know, I've hit them all. Right before the election, I ripped on Trump's Madison Square Garden rally as too bro-tastic and got specific about why. You have to understand, like, if... If you haven't sold your soul, you have to be willing to criticize the people even you that you admire on your quote side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And my owning my bias by going out there on stage with Donald Trump and saying, I'm voting for him and you should too, is a bonus. when it comes to my credibility. Now, everybody has zero doubt about where I stand and they can filter everything I say through the appropriate lens.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
What typically happens in journalism is they say they have no bias and then they just work it out in the printed word or on their shows without owning it. But the audience knows it and it creates a distrust and a divide. Okay, just two points as an addendum, and then we'll get into it. So I went on in the one answer, and she did fine. I have no problem with the way the Times edited the interview.

This is not a Ben Smith situation where I just thought he just tried to hammer me for his own reasons. She was very fair. But I just want to say that and that one answer where I'm like that what I have a problem with is these people who will go after Donald Trump and play holier than thou when covering him, but will bury the allegations against Democrats.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And what I said at the end of that, because we have a transcript of it, was Like I didn't see a lot of questions by the Times or anyone else about why Doug Emhoff allegedly wailed on his ex-girlfriend, the one he dated right before Kamala. Where was the deep investigation into whether he fathered a love child with the nanny and why the ambulance came to her home on the night she lost the baby?

When I was a very young reporter, I found this exciting before I understood what was what in Washington and back, frankly, when it was relevant and kind of cool. I hate to tell the people going, those days are over. You're now sort of saying yes to what's become a loser party where they can only get the dregs. And I urge anybody with ego and self-respect to say, no, no, I'm not going to that.

And then added just a bit later when she was like, I don't get how you can go out and endorse this guy, understanding he's going to make mistakes, he's going to do things that are wrong, who you know, she says, will have to be criticized because that's the nature of any political leader.

And I said, you know, see to me, it's funny to hear you ask that because I guarantee you my audience is going to laugh at this question because they're going to say that is rich coming from the New York Times, which did more to run cover for Joe Biden than virtually anyone else in media. I don't run cover for Donald Trump. I've ripped on Trump endless numbers of times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
I put my record of ripping on Trump up against the record of anybody in the leftist media of running against Joe Biden or calling out his infirmities. Even when Trump was running, one of the reasons why he attacked me after I hosted a presidential debate that he did not participate in is because I raised questions about Trump's mental acuity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038
And I had noticed he was having some word slips saying the wrong thing about Obama when he meant Biden, World War III when he meant two. And he got mad and he attacked me, which is totally fair game. I am fair game. I'm in the arena and I'm fair game. I'm not above getting attacked by him. I wasn't in 15. I'm not in 25.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn's NYT Interview, WHCA Fires Unfunny Comedian From Dinner, and Newsom's Failed Shift, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 1038

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and today's true crime Christmas special. Today, we are diving deep into the case of Alec Murdoch, and there are updates in this incredible case, believe it or not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
This is probably something they won't be expecting. Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this episode. Valerie, welcome. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Okay, so this is all so fascinating. And one of the most eye-opening things I read was about Alec Murdoch's background. He comes from a long line of deeply... ethically problematic people, which I did not know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
So he killed his own wife and his son, Paul, who had been at the helm for that boating accident. And it was an attempt to garner sympathy, like to make him a sympathetic character so that his law firm would...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
move away, would stop investigating him so that the lawsuit involving Paul would be less strong because, you know, the main culprit would be gone and who would put this poor man now through the torture of seeing a civil lawsuit through. It was an effort to just change his own financial and reputational fortunes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
And he had, prior to getting arrested... done what I guess it was his great grandfather did, which was attempt to create a suicide situation that would lead to an insurance payout. I mean, now it's like kind of all connecting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
All you ever heard about him was that he came from this very storied family. They were lifelong solicitors or like the prosecutors in their town in South Carolina, very well respected. They controlled everything. It was far more nefarious than that. Can you take us back?

Do we think he did not intend to die then when that that guy who was next to homeless? I mean, that guy seemed, you know, not like a sophisticated character when he got him to, quote, shoot him. But it just grazed his head. That was always so confusing to me. And I'm like, was this some sort of a sharpshooter?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
How did the guy manage to actually barely connect with him to the point where it looked like he actually had been shot at, but not so much that he actually killed him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Do we know, do we ever figure out, and by the way, just for the audience, I'm talking today to Valerie Borlein. She wrote the book, The Devil at His Elbow, Alex Murdoch and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty. Do we know where all the money went? This is one of the mysteries, right? It just seemed like Alec was taking in so much money via fraud from the law firm, the clients and so on. Yeah. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Where did it go? Like, it seemed like he claimed he just spent it on drugs. But the conclusion by many was always how many drugs could that could he possibly have taken? He took in more than he could ever have spent was the layperson conclusion on the on the funding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
So that that makes more sense that that we've got millions missing than that. He spent it all on the drugs. All right. So then we go to trial. He does wind up arrested. This all comes out. There is the moment he is found guilty. Actually, we have that. Let's just watch that. So 51.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Okay, and that's interesting for a few reasons. One, he was found guilty. Two, old Becky Hill reading the verdict. would come to play a major role in this story, which no one knew at the time. But Becky almost got this verdict thrown out because of her behavior behind the scenes with the jurors. And could it still her behavior get this verdict thrown out? Is that totally settled?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Yes. I mean, it really does show you, if you have a family, a father, a grandfather who are committing crimes and teaching you either explicitly or implicitly that that's okay, your odds of becoming a criminal are obviously much higher. But hello, women of the world, pay attention. Pay attention to your spouse, the guys you're dating. It can work the other way around too. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
I know that we had a hearing in which a different judge said, no, I'm not throwing out the verdict. But could that be reversed on appeal? I imagine Alex lawyers are taking that up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
And the jurors come forward to say, yes, at least one of them said she influenced my verdict.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
What they come from, who they come from. So his great-grandfather, Randolph Murdoch Sr., basically committed suicide and insurance fraud at the same time? Mm-hmm.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Yeah, that they they're going to argue they were held to to too high a burden of proof to prove jury tampering and that a lower standard should have been applied, which would have allowed them to prove jury tampering, which would allow him to get a new trial. The justice told was great when she came in and held that hearing over Becky Hill. The allegations against Becky Hill just got weirder.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
When she was up there, I say this lovingly, she seemed like a tough old broad in the best sense, you know, like she wasn't going to tolerate any nonsense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
She made the comment about Becky Hill that would become very well known. Here it is, Zot 52.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
And that led to bad behavior by Becky Hill, which got this whole thing mucked up. But do you remember, it's been a while since we've covered this, but she also has a son who worked in the courthouse and there was an allegation about him wiping his phone and wiping her phone on the day that they were supposed to turn them over for an internal ethics investigation. It smelled to high heaven.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
So now here we are where he's appealing. He's going to argue Becky Hill mucked up the trial to the point where he gets another trial. We don't love the chances, but one never knows. And in the meantime, the wrongful death lawsuit that Mallory Beach's family brought against Alec, is that totally resolved?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
I'm sure it's a, it's a special form of sentencing for you because every time you get into a

His story begins much earlier than the crimes that made national headlines over the past few years, and no one has covered the story quite like the Wall Street Journal's Valerie Borlein, who wrote the book, The Devil at His Elbow. We get into everything from Murdoch's family history to the details of his downfall and the new info. Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
So what, if anything, is happening with the other piece of this story, which is the possible outcome? There's only one other piece by by Buster, Paul's older brother of a young gay classmate who was killed on the road. But there's just only speculation that it was Buster Murdoch, not actual proof. And they were going to reopen that investigation in the wake of all of this. Where does that stand?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
They certainly have played those birds. breadcrumbs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
So in the time we have left, what's life like right now for Buster Murdoch, the son whose entire family is... has been killed or is now in jail. And for Alec Murdoch, who was living this life of excess and now is convicted of double homicide, not to mention all the fraud charges that were brought against him separately, which he was also found guilty on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
Mm-hmm. You'd have to go someplace else. I mean, there's a brother. Alex's brother seemed non-sociopathic. Perhaps there's some hope there. I don't know. Raised by that man with that family lineage.

Yes. Same. I'm having the same reaction just sitting here. So then of course we get to Alec and this whole thing that we watched, this double murder trial in which he was found guilty of killing his wife and his own son was set off by that boating accident. The second one, not the one you discussed where the woman was run over. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Alex Murdaugh's Life in Prison and Web of Crimes and Lies - A "True Crime Christmas" Special | Ep. 974
But more recently with the younger generation, while Alec was out on a boat, was drinking and they had an accident and Mallory Beach was thrown from the boat and wasn't found for some time later and she was dead. And that old Murdoch instinct to cover it up

for among other reasons, he was then sued by the Beach family. And that in the course of that lawsuit, he would have to produce discovery, speaking to his economic status, his financial data, and so on. And he was, we know separately now, running a massive fraud, stealing from his law firm, had a massive drug problem, or so he testified, and was very worried this was all gonna come out.
The Megyn Kelly Show

He would be exposed. And at the same time, His law firm. Was this coincidental? Was this coincidental, Valerie, that like the law firm started an investigation of Alec at the same time for possible ethical breaches? Or were those two things related, the lawsuit and the law firm getting interested?

It's a fair point, but it is very noticeable when they try to lump it like anti-Semitism and racism too. Racism and the otherism. I want to get everybody clapping for me. Okay, so let's talk about the movie Anora, which I haven't seen it. For the record, Podoritz thought it was wonderful and actually thought we should all go see it. I don't know.

It's about, I guess, like this prostitute or sort of, I don't know if she's a full prostitute, but she's given it up for reasons other than love. And... It's supposedly it's got like a great. Oh, yeah. You have to you have to say sex worker. You're not allowed to say prostitute. And that's what that what I want to talk to you about.

Like they all tried to elevate that, you know, that job, that that choice as something kind of laudable, you know, like you have construction workers and you have, you know. Dairy workers and you have sex workers. It's just like, it's a choice. It's just a totally fine choice. Here is Sean Baker accepting best original screenplay for that movie, Anura Sat 3.

You have to have like 38% of the cast and or crew be LGBTQ or also women or BIPOC. You're not eligible to win that award. unless you have quotas met on your cat. It's ridiculous. They got robbed. Um, that's my own opinion. Okay. But there was a lot of drama there. There's a lot actually that went down that I found quite interesting and I think you will too. So we're going to start there.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Yes. Can I just say something about that? Because I saw the same thing. Demi Moore, she got some sort of strange thing done to her face a couple years ago. I remember she was walking in, I think, the Balenciaga, one of those massive brands, runway shows, and she looked shocking. There had been so much work. And then she went to a surgeon who undid that and she looked much better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
She looked she started to look normal, just like a normal woman again. And she looked great. And she's starting to drift over again. It's starting to happen again with the cheeks in particular, Link.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Yeah, look at Demi Moore there. Look at her. She's starting to look different. The cheeks are too much. I have a message to my fellow women. It is okay to have lines on your face. It's fine. And honestly, I'm big on Botox. I've told the audience that. I am very anti-filler. Because all it does is make you look bloated and kind of fat. I'd much rather have these lines here. I really would.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
They're lines. They're lines because I'm 54. Lines come on your face when you're 54. You can do something about the ones up here. You can't do much about these. And that's fine. Might as well let them come instead of make yourself look weirdly fat and bloated on an otherwise stunning face. Christian, care to weigh in on the beauty debate?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
It's just a lot of pressure. I mean, being in Hollywood is a lot of pressure. I'm like torn because I feel for these women. They can't have a career past a certain age unless they get all this stuff done. But then you do need the best friend or like the husband to be like, sweetheart, you've gone too far. Like Link said, more is not more in some areas. Do me less. Do me less.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Facial filler is definitely one of them. All right, back on the subject of anti-Semitism, the movie that won Best Documentary was called No Other Land, which was an outrage because it should have been Matt Walsh's film for The Daily Wire. I mean, just pick your film, really. It could have been What is a Woman, but the one about DEI and Robin DiAngelo, that should have been nominated.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Uh, joining me now, influencer and commentator, link Lauren and Christian Toto host of the Hollywood in Toto podcast. The IRS is the largest collection agency in the world. And with April 15th fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting is not a great option. Don't do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
They are too afraid of Matt, and he didn't get it. So this movie, No Other Land, won. And here is a soundbite of that movie from its trailer, which is about what's happening in Palestine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
They have bulldozers. They have bulldozers. Filming you. There's a bulldozer knocking down settlements. I need air. Oh, my God. Palestinians are upset. I don't want them to take our home. Could open eyes, eyes, change minds. Okay. So that's, this is a film about, you know, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict told from one point of view only. And it won best documentary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
And this is how they sounded when they went up to accept it. Stand by. Saw 12th.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
OK, and then you got more of it when their director got up there as well. OK, you get the gist. So all the time in the world for that kind of messaging. And then again, contrast Christian with the Adrian Brody anti-Semitism and racism and othering against all of it. That's that's about as much as the Israelis or Jews in America got.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
I was shocked, Link, that Emilia Perez did not... Enora was the big winner about the, quote, sex worker. But I was shocked that Emilia Perez did not win the Best Picture award because it's been winning. And it's about this...

And then it turned out that guy, he was nominated as one of the best actresses, even though it's a man, said a bunch of things that sound, you know, right-wing-ish and got canceled because while, you know, arguably offensive, I think the real sin, as you pointed out earlier, was the principles, the underlying principles are more right-leaning, which is not okay.

April 15th could mark another tax year that just passed you by and added to your stress. So the smart move is to get ahead of it now. But, you know, do not contact the IRS alone. That's crazy talk.

Yes, that's really, that's an excellent observation and really kind of the main takeaway, is it not, Christian?

Dr. Biden was on Fox news, famed, um, forensic pathologist suggesting he thinks maybe Jean had a heart attack and the wife possibly was like frantically trying to get heart medication, blood pressure medication back in the bathroom to save him maybe, and had a flippant fall or had a heart attack of her own.

But they did not find carbon monoxide in the bodies. So it really, truly was not a carbon monoxide event. The dog who died in the kennel was believed to have been locked in the kennel and died from just dehydration, starvation. So in any event, that whole thing is very mysterious.

And you know what, guys? The reason we all feel like, oh, Gene Hackman, even though he's a 95-year-old man, we knew he was going to die at some point in the next, you know, not too distant future, is because he did.

Like you could be the greatest ever, but if you're handed only like a bunch of absolutely meaningless drivel, it will never happen.

And I think it's going to remain terrible. you know, pretty terrible for a while because there's such a lead time on these movies. You know, they should be looking at things like Maverick and seeing how well it did. Any movie involving faith, friendship, redemption, those do well. Stuff about trans operas, not so much.

Most news programs you're going to listen to have neither the time nor the desire to walk their audiences through the critical moments that happened before the viral showdown. But we do. And we would like all of you to fully understand what took place in total. This thing lasted 49 minutes. President Trump started the meeting complimenting President Zelensky and the Ukrainian soldiers.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
It's very gracious of the president. He told Mr. Zelensky it was an honor to have him in the Oval Office. Trump's doing the right thing there. He's glad handing. He's paying him compliments. He's showing him respect. Mr. Zelensky, in return, thanked President Trump for the invitation and said he hoped the minerals deal would be the first step to real security guarantees.

He then took out a series of photos to show President Trump. They pictured Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russian captivity. It was Mr. Zelensky's way of saying to President Trump, this is who you are dealing with. President Trump looked at the photos, expressed sympathy and said, that's why we need this war to end.

Contrary to what critics will have you believe, it was President Zelensky who publicly challenged President Trump in his face first, several times, in fact, in front of the cameras. Mr. Trump repeatedly kept his cool. Mr. Zelensky openly disagreed with the president when talking about Europe's contributions to the war. Watch.

You can see they had a little disagreement for the listening audience. They both leaned in on their point and Trump sort of jokingly, warmly, in a friendly manner, kind of touched Zelensky's arm like, oh, I kind of agree to disagree. It was good. It was a nice moment. They laughed it off and they kept going.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
President Zelensky spoke for several minutes on this topic, making his case for why he does not trust President Putin. President Trump did not interrupt him once. It happened one more time before the big blow up. And let's let's be honest. Every diplomat knows there is risk in doing this to another world leader.

And in particular, if that leader is Donald Trump, he does not like to be confronted in this manner. And that's completely acceptable and normal. Look at how Benjamin Netanyahu handled the time with Joe Biden.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
You don't think he wanted to punch Joe Biden in the face many times when he came to visit the White House over what he was saying, but he handled himself with charm, with respect, with dignity, and never openly antagonized the guy from whom he was asking so much. OK, so Zelensky went at it again, having already gotten away with this a couple of times. He decided to press his luck.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
This time he even went so far as to accuse President Trump of getting his information in the form of propaganda directly from President Putin.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
What's that? So he interrupts President Trump as he's speaking and then says he's wrong, only to then admit that Trump is right. There has been a lot of destruction, but there are cities that are still intact. Well, Trump didn't dispute that. It's like, what's he doing? He's poking the bear over and over. Why would you do that to somebody? whose support you must have, you desperately need.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Why was he in there antagonizing Trump? I mean, this would be antagonistic to any of us, but in particular to President Trump, and he knows that, as do all world leaders. It is what it is. Deal with it. But once again, President Trump let the comment slide. He was staying above it. He did not engage, though he was being directly challenged publicly.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
President Trump even said at one point, quote, we haven't committed but could conceivably, end quote, commit U.S. troops to Ukraine after a peace deal is reached. That was a huge moment and could have been a huge win for President Zelensky to take home because Trump has said exactly the opposite thus far. But he did not take the W.

Aside from his vocal criticism and interruptions and challenges of President Trump before the open argument that we all saw, Mr. Zelensky's body language also caught the attention of many observers. When President Trump was talking about not wanting any more death on either side, Mr. Zelensky raised his eyebrows and sighed.

If you don't think there's been other world leaders in the Oval with this president or our others who wanted to shake their heads no while our president was making a point, they didn't agree at all, who wanted to say they attacked us. You don't think Netanyahu would have liked to have said that to Biden? They attacked us. They attacked us in the middle of his remarks, yes.

But there's a diplomatic way of handling this. And instead, the left would just like to blame Donald Trump. They don't want to acknowledge any of these minor and then cumulative serious provocations and antagonistic behaviors. These were just the gestures that we saw when Zelensky was on camera. We didn't see the whole, you know, we didn't see anything that happened when he was off cam.

There very well may have been more that Vice President Vance and other officials in that room witnessed. And when the big blow up happened, Mr. Zelensky also addressed in that critical moment as the tension was building, Vice President Vance using only his first name, saying, what kind of diplomacy, J.D., are you speaking about? It was an informality that could be used in a warmer moment.

Like JD and I had lunch and really made a lot of progress. That wouldn't be totally out of line.

And then came the moment seen around the world.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
It's so interesting because Trump held his fire until Zelensky suggested that the United States was under threat and Trump was not going to let Americans sit at home and be told by the Ukrainian leader that we were next. And honestly, that's when Big Daddy got in there and he was like, oh no, now it's on. That's when Trump got mad. You could feel it.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Zelensky said there, you don't feel it now, but you will feel it in the future. And Trump was like, you don't tell us that. You're in no position to be speaking to that, none whatsoever. And then you have the nerve of Zelensky when Trump eventually starts interrupting him back going, you invited me here to speak. What? What? What? He sat there. He let you interrupt him repeatedly.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Only when you suggested America is going to come under threat did Trump stand up and say, now I'm drawing the line. Now you're done. Now I am going to do the talking. So why would Mr. Zelensky travel all the way to Washington to go to the White House and try to publicly own the leader of the free world? Why? Why would he have handled it this way?

Okay, so that doesn't sound very positive about the deal, does it? I'm uncomfortable it's been reduced to a business transaction? just a little needling. I'm uncomfortable and we're all on your side and Putin should be in jail and you should do what's in the best interest of the Ukrainian people.

This was within one hour of Zelensky's White House meeting, as I said. as I pointed out on X yesterday, it would appear that here's what happened. The Democrats bashed the two-phase deal Trump was arranging of one, a financial agreement, and then two, a ceasefire deal as, quote, a fake peace agreement with, quote, no security arrangements to Mr. Zelensky right before he went to the White House.

It's fake. There's no security arrangements. It's a business deal. I'm uncomfortable with it. I want assurances, I guess, in Chris Murphy's case that the people that you're not going to sign it And then he went to the White House to sign what was clearly phase one. No, it wasn't the ultimate ceasefire. It wasn't the security arrangement deal.

It was the first part of it, which was the minerals deal, which is the thing that Trump has been saying all along will be, in essence, a form of US security. Because if we're investing hundreds of billions of dollars trying to extract these raw earth materials from Ukraine, his theory is that Vladimir Putin will not mess with Ukraine. He'll be messing with our interests.

And then when it comes to boots on the ground, the Europeans... are going to speak to that in phase two of this deal. But it was shat all over by Chris Murphy and others. And then when President Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, called out his grandstanding and disrespect, Zelensky's, all hell broke loose.

And the Democrats now, that it devolved to a fight, have reverted to their tried and true accusation that Trump is no more than Putin's puppet, that this whole thing was an ambush by Trump. of Zelensky because he wants to do the bidding of Vladimir Putin. And here's one other thing. So Chris Murphy today is very upset. I bet he wishes he hadn't sent out that tweet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
He didn't know it was going to happen and that he would later see it as a great way to blame Trump for being a Putin puppet, again, who sabotaged poor Zelensky. You see, the problem is he already had gone on record as saying what he said in that tweet we just put out. And now he's all over X trying to do one of these. walking back. He claims he's now the victim of a MAGA smear.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats, from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me, pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal. Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources. A short lesson in how these lies spread in MAGA world.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Not entirely clear where it started, but the source looks like it might be from a totally random MAGA user who says she is just speculating that Blinken, Rice, Newlin, and Vindman had a conference call with Zelensky, just a MAGA troll making up shit in their basement. I don't know anything about that. I know what you tweeted though, sir.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
Another source seems to be this New York Post columnist who wildly twists my post about Zelensky's well-known opposition to a bad ceasefire deal into a claim that Democrats advised him to reject the mineral deal. Totally false. Zero regard for tactics.

You made clear, though, sir, you made clear that you got him to confirm to you that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine. He's pretending in that post that what was supposed to happen this past Friday was not part of it. It was very clearly phase one.

Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
It was the most the United States is willing to do. Zelensky went in there and what did he bitch about? Did he bitch about the minerals deal? No, he kept hammering Trump on security. I need security arrangements because Putin's going to betray the deal. Just like he did all those other times. I have something to tell you. That was not the day for that argument.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
We should have taken step one of the diplomatic arrangement. Get the minerals deal in place. Step two, we can argue about security and the Europeans are going to have to step up. That's what Trump's been saying all along from the start. But who primed him to go in there and try to queer the deal over step two, which we are not at yet. It was you, Senator Murphy, and your Democratic friends.

What we're doing here is cutting losses. No one's walking away a winner. Russia's suffered a lot, too. They've had a lot of losses. I'm not saying that it's not a serious thing to have Ukraine having given up part of its country. But this is a long, complicated relationship between these two. And the United States has been meddling over in Ukraine for the better part of a decade.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
And what Trump is trying to do is just stop that and say, we're out, we're not doing that anymore. And we need to cut the losses. We're not going to keep funding a war that's going nowhere. That's just, it's about a body count now. We're out. Like, you need to be out. I hate to bring you this reality, but you're not going to get the parts of your country back that Putin took.

And we're not going to have some, you know, Amazing deal where you feel really satisfied. What we can do is help rebuild Ukraine by our economic investment. And the Europeans say that they will provide a security force to help deter Putin. And Zelensky's not satisfied with it. Well, that's the deal you have. That's what we're willing to offer. So a couple of things on what you said.

One, there was a poll. Our pal Mark Halperin, he put out a poll with... Hold on a second. I'm trying to find WIC. Yeah, with WIC. And where is that in my packet? And in any event, it showed... serious support for the way Trump handled himself there. They believe that Trump comported himself well, and they were not with Zelensky.

I think it was 47 to 38 in Trump's favor and the way people reacted to how that went down. Uh, and then secondly, so it's not just about Chris Murphy because there were other Democrats in that meeting too, but he's just this, the smarmiest one. Cause there he was like, look at me. I told him like this deal effing sucks.

You know, you, I want an assurance that the Ukrainian people and you are not going to support it, you know? And, and he calls it the peace deal. Okay. So he's not talking about the minerals deal. Well, it was all part of the same journey. It's, it's a package. So then he realizes, oh, wow, there's a big fight in the Oval. And I can just blame that all on Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Smug Elitists at Oscars, and What Zelensky Really Did Leading to Oval Blow Up, with Andrew Klavan, Link Lauren, and Christian Toto | Ep. 1017
And I'm going to accuse him of an ambush. And that's even worse for Trump. That's better now. But shit, I wish I hadn't sent out that tweet. Wish I hadn't sent that out. Oh, no, this is a MAGA smear. And so what he does on Friday after the blow up is he goes to X. He writes this. What just happened in the Oval was a planned ambush, right? Planned ambush.

He had no role in torquing up Zelensky or getting him to a place where he knew he had to go in there and throw down. This is a bad deal. Designated to help a brutal Russian dictator. Okay.

Well, and you know, the other thing, Andrew, is the reports are that Trump was actually in a great mood that day. He was excited to be signing this minerals deal with Zelensky. He really does believe this is the first step toward peace. And Trump has been the opposite of a warmonger his entire life. I believe Trump is 100% sincere in wanting this thing to end.

And the left says, oh, it's a surrender. And by surrender, it's cutting the losses. The thing is going nowhere. If it goes on, there's absolutely no reason to think the Ukrainians will do any better than they've done unless we dump trillions on them.

There's not a single American other than, you know, some lunatic on the far left that wants to do that. So it's not going to happen. So it's cutting losses. So anyway, Trump reportedly was very happy on Friday when Zelensky was coming. He was looking forward to signing the deal. and really thought he was going to have a great PR weekend. He wasn't ambushing this guy.

Some 62% of those involved in that poll I mentioned between Halperin and Wick, 62% found Zelensky's behavior offensive. It ranged from slightly to very on the scale.

I ordered precision military airstrikes on the senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers who we found hiding in caves threatened the US and our allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in and killed many terrorists without in any way harming civilians.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Our military has targeted this ISIS attack planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn't act quickly enough to get the job done. I did. The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that, in all caps, we will find you and we will kill you. And then Trump himself posted today video of the attack, which we can see here, stand by.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And now, Rick, there's a lot of speculation about whether this is not only a message to any foreign terrorist, but perhaps one to the drug cartels along the Mexican border, who we've deemed foreign terrorists, that if they don't get in line, they could be in a lot of trouble, just like these Somalia ISIS workers, that their threat over the weekend to drone attack ICE agents is not being well-received.

We weren't sure what it was, but Rick, of course, has a lot of international experience, former ambassador to Germany, former acting DNI, was at the UN for a long time. I mean, he knows what he's doing overseas. And now we're starting to get a better feel for how Trump intends to use him, and it's, boy, for the good of the United States.

I love the warning of it. And it was amazing because I think a lot of us have kind of forgotten about ISIS. We thought Trump took care of that.

I sat with him last week just as he was about to depart. And he made clear that one of the main reasons, if not the main reason of going down there, was the growing influence of China.

in the canal, that when we gave the canal to Panama, it was explicit that they would not allow it to fall under the control of another foreign entity, and that it certainly shouldn't be China, and that what they're doing now is they're building all these sort of corporate concerns along the Panama Canal that are owned by the Chinese that could be flipped like that into military strongholds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998

So what we learned today is that the Financial Post is reporting Panama promised free passage to U.S. warships, Rubio saying he was going to demand that. He got it. And on top of that, the Panamanian president says he will not renew the Belt and Road deal with China as we are demanding less influence. that he said their sovereignty is not up for debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
He doesn't want to give us the canal, but he said that they would not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China's overseas development initiative known as the Belt and Road, suggested that the deal with China could in fact even end early. All good, all great. That's a W for us. But then the big boss weighed in, just in case people were clear, like that's great.

The last question, and by the way, speaking of Kristi Noem and Venezuela, the Trump administration also ended temporary immigration program, the temporary immigration program for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. She revoked one of two temporary protected status designations for Venezuela. It's by far the biggest of its kind, protecting more than... 600,000 migrants from deportation.

So no more. We're saying you do not have temporary protected status. You got to go home. Go back to Venezuela. And thanks to Rick Bunnell, President Maduro is going to move in. Yeah. He's going to fly you back home. You're going to go see mom. Good luck with that. Last quick question before we go.

the problem is it's become a left-wing organization that just funds its favorite causes. There is a report out today about how Bill Kristol set up some group that's through some backend, gets money from USAID, unconfirmed. He does not appear to have denied it yet, but I'll check. So we're funding these left-wing groups through the Biden administration under the auspices of like

Well, you know, cue the Harry Enten segment over on CNN about how many people do not want this. They're very against the tariffs. Okay. I think the average person doesn't think about tariffs at all.

The Mexican president said, this is via the New York Times, that the 10,000 Mexican National Guard troops being sent to the border would be pulled from other parts of the country and would be in addition to security forces already there. She said it was important for humanitarian reasons for Mexico to help control the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

There's, this isn't the whole ball game, but that's a concession that was gotten within hours of Saturday's announcement by Trump that he meant business on these tariffs and he actually was going to do it.

Apparently they don't believe that Trudeau's actually doing this or actually about to do this. But they announced it, and right now they too are facing a 25% tariff on some $30 billion of U.S. goods starting Tuesday. It will ramp up to $125 billion worth of goods in 21 days if they don't do what Trump wants, which I think goes beyond just this $1.3 billion order plan.

And so we'll make you care. If you, if you don't care, we'll get your money involved in this game and then you will care. You'll, you'll care a lot because right now most products from Canada and Mexico into the United States face no tariffs. So this is a big change. If we slap on this 25% tariff to most of their goods, we did make an exclusion on, I think it was Canadian energy. It's down.

It's a 10% tariff. Um, Crude oil from Canada would suffer only a 10% charge, which the New York Times points out appears to be a tacit acknowledgement by Trump. The tariffs might translate into higher gas taxes or gas prices. He understands what he's doing. Trump himself tweeted out, will there be some pain? Yes, maybe, and maybe not.

Here's, here's how they're spinning the breakthrough. New York Times made a headline right now. Mexico reaches deal with U.S. to delay Trump tariffs. There's no mention whatsoever of the fact that they're about to send 10,000 troops to the border to help with the illegal problem, the fentanyl problem too. Washington Post does mention it. They say U.S.

tariffs on Mexico delayed as country agrees to rush 10,000 troops to the border. NBC News, not surprisingly. Makes no mention of it. Trump and Mexico's president say tariffs will be delayed for one month after talks. Not important enough to put the 10,000 troops in the headline. And that's why I mentioned the Harry Enten thing. I know this guy is just taking polling numbers and putting them on TV.

And the DNC chair, Jamie Harrison, I guess outgoing, tries to explain that this has thrown things into chaos because they have quotas, they have bare minimums for non-binaries as part of DNC leadership, which I guess neither of these guys is. Listen to Sod 18.

No. And the reports coming out of there were just as delicious. So the headline today is in the or actually yesterday, the Wall Street Journal. Democrats have a new leader but have not come to grips with failure. They quote Adam Frisch, a Colorado Democrat who lost his house race in November to now Republican Representative Jeff Hurd as saying as follows.

20 big cities, Aspen and Martha's vineyards. That's what's left of the democratic party. And I'm not exactly sure those 20 big cities are getting the best version of the democratic party. Z Zim Zay. You don't, you don't think so, Adam? I think you might be right. Here's some more color from that whole debacle. Um, Okay. New York times headline coming out of that meeting was no coherent message.

Dems struggle to oppose Trump. They point out that, um, a Quinnipiac university poll conducted the week after Trump took office found that 57% of voters view the democratic party unfavorably. That is the highest level since 2008. They did more than 50 interviews with Democratic leaders. They broadly agree that they need to do more to address issues like grocery costs, inflation and immigration.

But there is little consensus on how or even whether to prioritize the party's traditional concerns like abortion rights, LGBTQ equality and climate change. There's a quote in here from Representative Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, saying, This guy, meaning Trump, is psychotic. And there's so much, but everything that underlies it is white supremacy and hate.

And last but not least, this little ditty from Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, you have to portray a sense of alarm and urgency or people will continue to believe that the country will be okay. So they have no idea what the messaging should be. They know they're not dumb enough to believe that the identity politics helped them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
They have got to see the polling showing it's crushing them, but it's too strong a strain. The party has this malignant tumor. that's in it, that loves DEI and equity and identity politics at every turn. And they can't excise it still.

You don't think so? Against it. No, I mean, he might be, but I refuse. I'm going to work against him. He helped kill 15,000 New Yorkers with his inane orders to put... sick patients into nursing homes and did not let them test them for COVID. Then he tried to lie and cover that up when he got caught. It's insanity to put this guy back in power. Just ask our mutual pal Janice Dean.

That's what the Democrat Party is now, like this feckless, weakling, tattletale, annoying loser kids who nobody wants to brand with. You know, it's like that.

Young Trumpers who are gorgeous, promising, hopeful, optimistic, patriotic. That's what drives the left crazy. who are so focused on Zay, Zem, and we don't have enough non-binaries.

Is there any man here with ovaries? Please. Oh, we can't get to a quorum. And this is why, just to add more color to it, Politico reporting on X that Dems are in a bit of disarray over this whole thread by Dave Weigel, who works for Semaphore, who talked about some of the crazy answers these candidates gave on how they think they're doing.

I watched no Grammys. I just watched some of the clips and the responses on X. And within about two minutes, I think the world knew that Kanye, now known as Ye, and his wife, question mark, Bianca Sensori, showed up there and she was naked. So we have blurred this because we do have kids who watch the show, but she dropped that fur coat and you see full vag... big fake boobs and her naked bottom.

And she's, I guess, wearing a, quote, mesh dress, which is totally invisible. You cannot see that at all. It doesn't even appear. I mean, the best was she kept trying to pull it down Like the dress, like, sweetheart, we've seen your badge. There's no reason to pull it down. If you had any hopes of modesty, they ended when you chose that outfit.

And Stu, I have to just say, a couple of thoughts on this. First of all, it's so crass. It's so classless. I mean, any of us, you, me, Canadian Debbie, Steve Krakauer, my EP, if any of us just took off all of our clothes and showed up at the Grammys wearing mesh, a mesh dress, we would get tons of attention. It's because you've crossed another new societal low.

It's not because, ooh, we all want to see you naked. There's no question she has a beautiful body. She's a beautiful woman. We knew that from all the other nude pictures. But to show up at the red carpet like this at a festive event totally naked is just another blow to our already craven society. Something kids sometimes watch, right?

If you're not smart, you don't let your kids watch the Grammys, but just saying what she wanted them to see was her naked body. That's what she wants people to know about her. I find it disgusting. I'm not like angry because I don't let my kids watch these things anymore, but I'll just put it to you this way.

I've been waiting to see a vote by the GOP controlled Senate on this thing is much better, notwithstanding Trump's executive orders.

Can you just tell me when you said that there are girls sports teams in the United States that are filled entirely with boys posing as girls? You know, I just heard a story. I'm not going to name the school because I haven't confirmed this, but it's a mom friend of mine. And I believe her because she had a kid at this school in Westchester, a private school.

They hired a new sports director, athletic director. And then they turfed this guy because he didn't believe in allowing boys into girls sports. And the school made a conscious decision that not only did they want boys in the girls' sports, but they had a plan to stack the entire girls' ice hockey team with biological boys so that they could be totally dominant against other schools.

No, you're 100% right.

We think we have the Republican votes, maybe, maybe not Murkowski. I've heard a little wiggling from Susan Collins, but I don't, I don't know. Even if you counted those two out, um, I, I feel like we have the votes needed to pass it. We just don't think we have the votes for cloture. Is that true?

And you had like a preview of what the Democrat argument is on this from AOC in the House who actually explained or claimed that this is going to lead to inspections of little girls going into the locker room to make sure they're female. I mean, just the worst fear-mongering. Here is her soundbite in SOP 30.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
It's total fear-mongering. So what we need is for Leader Thune to call for a vote on the Senate floor so that we have names. We have actual names of the Democrats who are standing in the way of what 67% of their base, of their voters, want. I don't see how that's a downside for Republicans at all. Even if we don't kick cloture, let's see them vote. Let's see those senators say, I am not for this.

RFKJ, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, um, news out today is of, you know, Hegseth's been confirmed, but of those I named maybe Tulsi's on the least steady ground in terms of getting confirmed in the Senate. Um, do you agree with that? And do you think she'll get through?

Oh, very nice. Okay. I'm, I'm going to confess. I, I am going to the Superbowl. Uh, I've never been to one before, but Doug and I are going, and I am going to be rooting for the Eagles because even though I don't really love the Eagles coach, I gotta be honest.

It says sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth, and that it will be a violation for someone receiving federal funds who runs a sports program to allow someone whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity designed for girls.

You remember that poll we saw? 3,000 swing state voters. The number one issue they voted on in the 2024 presidential election was the gender thing. And the sports thing is a huge part of that. It just makes sense to people that boys shouldn't be playing against girls. Get on board or get left behind, especially these senators from those six swing states. Make them vote.

He's worried about the Chinese influence. Well, he already scored a big W down there. And I think it's going to be the first of many because President Trump wants the whole kit and caboodle. He doesn't want just small wins. He wants the big victory. And we'll talk about what that means. Plus, we have got to, in just a bit, talk about last night's Grammys. Of course, you didn't watch them.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy first Monday of the second Trump presidency. Yes, we had last Monday, but we only had half the day. This is the first full Monday of the Trump presidency, part two.

We, of course, always thought that McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins, and then maybe Ernst were the ones to look at. And we were inching closer to the vote, and people thought that maybe those three would come on board, and maybe just McConnell would come on board as it happened. McConnell said no to Pete with a statement ripping him. Collins and Murkowski, same. And Ernst made all the difference.

You know what? The idea of an investigation is really interesting because just today it hit that among those Joe Biden pardoned with his massive, you know, wand, wave of a wand, was a killer of two people in Connecticut, a mother and child. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
The Dick Blumenthal, the Democrat senator from Connecticut, is out there saying that this was a massive mistake, that he doesn't believe Biden intended to do this, that this person, this killer was represented by the ACLU to Biden to be a nonviolent drug offender. And that's why he got lumped in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
And there are already some on X calling for an investigation into how this and all the other pardons were made and whether Joe Biden was compass mentis in in order to grant the clemency and the pardons that he granted and whether some of these things can be undone, whether whether even the president himself intended to actually allow some of these people out of jail.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
It's so disturbing. I, it's like, I don't, I have no idea whether Joe Biden knew what he was doing. Uh, but that is something we should be assured of because like, it's one thing to do a controversial pardon. It's quite another to have the ACLU sneak one past, uh, incompetent president. Um, his, yeah, this is, this is on, on X right now. And, uh, hold on a second.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And then J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote because it was 50-50. President Trump had a public standoff with the country of Colombia, not the university. One is spelled with two O's. The country has two O's, Colombia. And that had the left freaking out, freaking out that he had caused a catastrophe for the United States when it comes to our coffee and our flowers.

I'm just trying to pull up the exact. Yeah. reporting on this. Relatives of an eight-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.

Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of Leroy B.J. Brown and his mother, Karen Clark in Bridgeport, killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection. Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case.

In December 2021, Peeler finished a state sentence but began serving a 15 year term in federal prison for dealing large amounts of crack cocaine. The federal sentence would have kept him behind bars until 2033. He is now set to be released in July.

And this is the one that Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, who was the state's attorney general when Brown and his mother were killed, said someone dropped the ball, quote unquote. In Peeler's clemency, he and other political leaders in Connecticut, including the Bridgeport mayor, criticized the commutation. This really was a vicious murder that changed our laws, said Blumenthal.

It also highlights how we need to take a look at the pardon system to see how it can be improved. Well, why don't we first take a look to see whether it was even intended by this outgoing president? So that's that's one thing I. Forgive me for playing a soundbite to Steve Bannon of Selena Gomez, but she's got a lot of power. She's very popular with a large segment of the population.

Yeah, she didn't look at the polls, which have between 55 and 60 percent of all of America completely on board with deporting all illegals, including the Democrats. The Democrats are now majority in favor of deporting all illegals, never mind the ones who have committed crimes, which is where Homan's starting. But as you point out, not where he's going to end.

Steve, what's interesting about Homan and to some extent now to J.D. Vance and the other people speaking for the administration is to me, it seems like they're finally getting it. It's so joyful for somebody like me to sit here and watch somebody who actually knows the facts and is not afraid to argue what's real. Give it right back to these Sunday news anchors.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It's so amazing. We've never seen this before where they don't give one inch. They don't need to be like, they don't need the invitation to the jury. They'll have their own parties. They don't need to go to these and you just never see it.

Meantime, ICE has been fully activated, and they're doing their thing bit by bit, day by day. And then there was the thing of beauty from Vice President J.D. Vance on CBS News yesterday morning, sparring with Margaret Brennan and launching a new meme that I think is going to last for years. I don't really care, Margaret. I don't really care, Margaret.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
My entire history in the media, they go on these Sunday shows, they do a little ass kissing, and then they kind of pivot off to make their final point as like their parting shot of like, well, but we kind of believe this after they totally seed the main points the anchor is raising in part one of his or her argument. So it's
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Great to see somebody just fight and completely disavow the premise of the question. Here's the longer version of J.D. Vance with Margaret Brennan. I am convinced like J.D. 's very smart to go on with Margaret Brennan because some people said, why is he going to CBS? It's the enemy. Look what they did to him in the vice presidential debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
And I thought, no, he's very smart because she's adversarial. She's going to try to punch him. And she's nowhere near his intellectual equal. So he knows he can just slice and dice her with ease and do it as behaving as a gentleman, but leave everybody with the same impression, which is she is no match for him. Her arguments are no match for his. Here's thought 13.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Right on. I don't really care, Margaret. He's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Who cares? Like this guy who he was referencing, his name is 27 year old Nashar Nasir Ahmad Tahedi. And per court documents, he planned to liquidate his assets, repatriate his family to Afghanistan, purchase assault rifles and stage a violent attack on election day. He entered the U.S. on a special immigrant visa on September 9th, 2021, days after Biden's catastrophic U.S.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
withdrawal from Afghanistan. Who cares? Who that had a family member die in this planned violent attack on election day would care when he was radicalized. Why was he here? It wasn't lawful. He needed to go. He wasn't vetted. That's the point that he was making. And, you know, you times that by 20 million.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
So here's another piece, because the birthright citizenship has made a lot of, has ruffled a lot of feathers, even on the Republican side, because Trump, notwithstanding what's written in the Constitution, is saying he's getting rid of it. And there is a legal argument to be made there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Let's play a little something from that just to kick us off.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Trust me, I researched it in depth before I sat with Trump in September of 23, because I went into it saying this is a preposterous proposal. It's in the Constitution. You can't withdraw it. And the more I looked at it, the more I realized very smart legal scholars actually have made the credible argument that you actually the Constitution is not as clear as its defenders argue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
And you can get rid of birthright citizenship. It's because of this clause that means you have to be born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. And there's a question there. Anyway, the media will not allow for any of that possibility, nuance or other legal arguments. Margaret Brennan brought that up, too, with J.D. Vance. And here's how that went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
By the way, it wasn't founded by illegal immigrants, and we don't have to keep the door open to more and more criminals because of what happened 250 years ago, Steve. It's amazing. Is that stupidity on her part or just liberal bias?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
I don't really care, Margaret, either. In just a bit, we're going to be joined by Batya Angar Sargan. But we begin today with Steve Bannon, host of Bannon's War Room. There is a real and growing threat to your home and your equity, and it's called title fraud. Here's how it works. Criminals can forge a single document, file it with a recorder, and just like that, your home's title is stolen.

Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
They take out loans against your property, draining your equity, and you wouldn't even know it until it's too late. And here's the really scary part. Credit monitoring will not protect you from this. But I want to tell you about Home Title Lock to protect your home and equity.

on the debanking, just to let people know. So yeah, Brian Moynihan goes out there at Davos and says, oh no, we don't debank anybody, Bank of America. And JP Morgan also says, oh no, we issued a statement, we don't debank anybody. Just so you know,

In 2024, the Montana attorney general joined a coalition of 15 attorneys general in demanding action from Bank of America to correct the company's debanking policies and discriminatory behavior toward conservatives and religious Americans. They allege in this lawsuit, the bank denied services to gun manufacturers, fossil fuel production, producers, contractors for U.S.

A geo group, a private prison operator said it was debunked by Bank of America and JP Morgan after it faced protests from left-leaning groups over the work it does for ICE. Melania Trump said in her book she was debunked and that son Barron was denied a bank account. She didn't name the bank.

Uh, 30 tech entrepreneurs said they've been debanked in the last four years, according to Mark Andreessen, uh, who came on the record at PayPal and what they did to conservative. And like the list is very long for them. These guys to now claim they've never been debanking conservatives is a lie. It is a lie. It's belied by this long history and what's alleged in these lawsuits.

Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
So that's the debanking thing. Let's, I do want to talk about California, but before we go there, let's stay on immigration and do Columbia because what happened with Columbia this weekend was a thing of beauty. It And all while Trump was on the golf course, the guy was was hitting under par while he was rubbing the president of Colombia's nose in the crap storm. He tried to dump on us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
So they sent two hundred thousand. It's an estimated two hundred thousand illegals in this country from Colombia. As Trump points out, these are not good guys. The face tattoo does not suggest in Trump's words, you're going to be president of a bank when you get here. And. We get two planes worth of them, at least, and this is only one weekend, and send them back down there.

And Trump, within about two minutes, says, that's how you want to play? We're going to slap a 25% tariff. on all of your goods. And in a week, it's going to go up to 50.

And it's going to get more and more painful as the days go on. And you have the leftist meltdown. I think we have some of that. Do we not, Debbie? Where you've got... Oh, it's just it's just on paper. But you've got AOC and many others saying, oh, my God, this is what's going to happen. And AOC was saying the coffee, the coffee prices are just about to go up 25 percent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
A tariff on them is a tariff on Americans. And then the coffee here will be up 50 percent. You have Ana Navarro saying we have poured a lot of our flowers from Colombia. There goes Valentine's Day within I think it was 60, maybe 90 minutes total. Complete reversal. The president of Columbia fell on his sword. Not only did he say, we'll take them.

The guy completely waved the white flag and sent the presidential plane, he said, for these illegals. Then, feeling humiliated, that's clear, he decides to post the following bizarre statement on X. Trump, this is after he already lost the fight.

Trump, I don't really like traveling to the U.S. It's a bit boring. I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington where I saw an entire fight in the U.S. Capitol between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me because they should join together. I don't like your oil, Trump. You're going to wipe out the human species because of greed.

I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. Okay, you already gave it up, sir. But I love this, Steve, because what he's really doing here is playing the victim. He's trying to act tough while also playing the victim. Poor me, you're gonna hurt my people with this tariff and you've got problems of your own there.

And it's because of Karen Bass and this nonsense. You can't get in. There's a video in the Daily Mail today of a guy saying, I just want to drive by.

And you've got the soldiers or whoever's patrolling the area saying, we're not allowed. LAPD is not allowing us to let anybody in there. There's Trump with a hefty dose of common sense saying, Just let them in. A week is too long. Some of the stuff will spoil if it managed to survive. And the 18 months that they were arguing over, that's on camera, too. It is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
I'll just show you this soundbite quickly. The L.A. director of public works, Mark Pestrella, told Karen Bass and council members within the past week that it's going to take 18 months to clear the debris. Now she sits there at that meeting with Trump and says it's not true that her director of public works says it is. Here it is.

We heard it clearly, two years until these people get their property back. What do you think?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Yes, they were there and she salvaged them. But they were about to be carted away, I guess, within two years time by Karen Bass and, you know, her two year plan to, you know, clear the area. And it's like, look, if people want to go there and immerse themselves in toxins to try to salvage what they can, that's up to them. Why is that not up? It's like big brother. If tries to control everything.

Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
They can do what my friend did, which is actually put on like a safety suit and a mask and risk it if it's really important to them. But big sister thinks she knows better. And the whole town is saying two years before you get your property back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
There is somebody on X named Eric Matheny who tweeted out the following and I loved it. I wrote it down. Trump is governing like a man who has been shot, indicted, investigated and impeached and has zero fucks left to give. It's glorious. That's exactly right. He's saying it all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
So then, Batya, he gets into a back and forth with this California lawmaker named Brad Sherman, a Dem, who'd been giving him a hard time because Trump said, you know what? We want to give you federal relief, but I want two conditions met before you get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
And that is, number one, allow the water to flow to Southern California, like I've been saying for years, so we can be ensured that this isn't going to happen again. And number two, you should require voter ID in this state where they seem to have an allergy to voter ID. So he's getting all this blowback, like how can you condition the aid on voter ID? It's not fair.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
And Brad gave him some guff about that earlier in the meeting. And then this exchange happens where Trump had thoughts for Brad on the insurance situation out in California, SOT7.

Here's a little more in Sat 8. They continue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Back to Brad. But yeah, we keep hearing that, the party of common sense. And Batya... For me, that really resonates because that's kind of how I've seen myself in media for a while. I'm not F you in your bigoted charges. I don't want boys in girls' sports. That makes me commonsensical. That's what that makes me, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Trump's leaning into this, and he's 100% right, which is why he's got majority support on the immigration policies, on the trans policies. Who the hell would disagree with, we need water to fight fires, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Yeah, get out. I have to take a break. But quick, quick soundbite on Trump and his sense of humor hit the happy warrior. I saw something this weekend you almost never see. Donald Trump laughing. He smiles a lot. He's very generous with a smile, but he almost never laughs. It's actually kind of interesting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
I noticed it during the campaign when that hyena was on the other side with her very strange laugh at everything, the cackle, so bad that they had to reel it in, selling her never laugh. Trump just naturally he's not a laugher. He's a more serious guy. He's got a sense of humor, but he's just not like prone to laughter. Well, it happened and it actually was funny.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
He was doing a bit on how he's returning phone calls of world leaders like that or calling or picking up the phone when they call. Unlike Joe Biden and all these leaders are shocked that they've gotten him on the phone. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
He's enjoying himself. All right, more with Bhatia right after this. Don't go away. The IRS is the largest collection agency in the world, and it just stepped up enforcement for 2025. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, don't wait for the IRS to come to you. Simply avoiding your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Getting ahead of this is the smart move, but you might not want to contact the IRS alone. You could turn it over to the team at Tax Network USA. Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same. Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS, which means they know which agents to deal with and which to avoid.

We kind of forgot what it's like to have somebody actually advocating for us, treating us like we are the superpower that we are not getting pushed around by these lesser countries that think they can dump all their criminal illegals in America and not have us push back. It's a thing of beauty. Okay, so let me just start further back before we get to that.

It was always shocking to see any celebrities come on Team Red. We saw Vince Vaughn at the Trump Ball. We had Snoop Dogg perform at the Crypto Ball. And Jewel, the singer, performed at the RFKJ Maha Ball. And she's already sorry she did it. Look what she just posted.

I really hope Jules' followers who supported her, you know, performing at the RFKJ thing are speaking out as well, because there are a lot bigger numbers on this side than they are on the other. And so she really, I mean, this is no time to pander to your leftist base. Batya, a pleasure. Thank you so much for being here. Well, we have so much this week. We've got Tulsi.

This is what we're going to get, Steve. As you well know, the media is going to try to paint these MS-13, these Trend Agua members as though they're little Boy Scouts that mean old Tom Homan is just harassing. And parents need to run down to their local school district and grab their child if he's Latino.

I thought the same. I was like, why all the money that we donate every Sunday when we go to mass that you think is helping the poor, that you think is helping the underprivileged, it's going to the what? The hundreds of millions that the Catholic Church has been raking in trying to get these illegals into the country and settle down?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
Yeah, no, I mean, it's amazing just listening to, you know, what's happening here. Even, okay, it was last week, the Pope said Trump's plans to deport illegal immigrants would be, quote, a disgrace, that it would be a disgrace. I'm sorry, but this Pope, he doesn't speak for millions of Catholics. He really doesn't. I know technically he does, but he doesn't speak for me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
He doesn't speak for most conservatives in America who really, we've had about enough of his far left social agenda. Um, Tom Holman back to him. He was asked about the Pope's comments and as usual, hit it out of the park. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
You know, Steve, last week we were critical of that Episcopalian minister who was lecturing to Trump and J.D. Vance when they did her to the courtesy of going by National Cathedral. The Pope's no better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Media's ICE Hoax, Vance's Masterclass on CBS, and Trump vs. Bass, with Steve Bannon and Batya Ungar-Sargon | Ep. 992
I mean, that the Catholic Church is doing exactly what that Episcopal minister did, trying to lecture Trump to be more humane when it comes to immigration policy without any acknowledgement of the rape trees and the fentanyl and the murders that are happening to Americans because of it.

And the others they suggest these girls might honor include Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Katonji Brown Jackson. So at least we had that one sort of moderate Republican judge on their bench. But it's all part of the same point, right? Like this is the leftist view of like what fair and balanced looks like. George Clooney speaks up now that Trump's back in office.
The Megyn Kelly Show

You've got the school saying, yeah, there's Sandra Day O'Connor. Where's Amy Coney Barrett? How is she not on there, right? It's like, this is how the left operates.

Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Well, I do need some normal person, even like Diane Sawyer. Right. Like put her on there who wasn't at least like harshly partisan for all of her career and did mostly like down the middle type.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Great. But Katie Couric, that's what they want. The school wants them, like, lauding Katie Couric, celebrating Katonji Brown Jackson, and looking at Rachel Levine and AOC and Stacey Abrams as politicians to honor. It's like outrageous. And it's everywhere. It's everywhere. And it's all connected, frankly, to why, as I said at the top of the show, the left is imploding.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Their sort of pocket of the Democratic Party is the only one that's left standing. Unfortunately for them, it's a very, very small slice of their party. But within it, they're stars. And now we get a lecture on journalism. In fact, a whole Broadway show from George Clooney.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Why they have no strong base of support other than, not coincidentally, who? white college educated women. That's it. That's some black women too, but for the most part, it's white college educated women who are still Democrats.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So you think that she could have mass appeal? I mean, right now she's pulling it, I think, 5% or under in the national polls of who should be the Democratic nominee amongst Democrats. Kamala Harris is some 36%. She's at the top. AOC does have name recognition, but is nowhere near the top. She's at the bottom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
But you think this person who is far, far left in her politics, notwithstanding her Green New Deal, where she wants to get rid of hamburgers, actually has a shot?

You know, last year, my pals over at the Daily Wire asked me if I would do the voice of this cartoon character called Wendy Burcham in Adam Carolla's cartoon called Mr. Burcham about a shop teacher. So I was, quote, playing the wife of a shop teacher. Didn't make me the actual wife of a shop teacher. Never will.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Okay, so I want to spend some time on Bernie and AOC because they go out there, they get, you know, supposedly they get these record crowds. There are questions about whether this is an AstroTurf crowd or, you know, this is just like the same group of protesters that shows up at all of these things or supporters, depending on what the daily cause is or not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
But let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say, even though neither one is running for anything right now, it was organic and people just wanted to hear two Democrat socialists get up there and talk about making America more socialist. Okay. He's out there, they're both out there right now in some way trying to moderate their messages, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
He gave an interview in which he was asked, what's the one thing that Trump has done well? And here's what he said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Should have done much better. I guess he wants a closed border now. Tell that to the Bernie of 2019 when he was running for office in the primary, and everybody was asked if they wanted to crack down on illegal immigration at the border. He didn't. He didn't. He actually, he raised his hand saying he wanted to decriminalize the border, to decriminalize it, Ben.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And has been, he's been all over the board, frankly, on this. Because at some points he's like, the Koch brothers are the ones who want open borders. That would be a disaster. But then he's saying we should decriminalize border crossings, which is basically a red carpet invitation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
But what he wants ABC News and Jonathan Karl to think is he's pro-Trump's moves at the border, even though he called the first Trump administration wall ridiculous. He thought Trump's policies were way too tough that he was cracking down too much on. He wanted to end the deportations. I mean, so that's Bernie. Stand by. And then here is AOC, who is the queen of pronouns and all the trans nonsense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
She hasn't seen a trans policy she doesn't support. She's dying to get boys into girls sports. And here she is. See if you can hear the change in her messaging on that issue at one of these rallies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
George, just because you play some sort of a journalism expert, an old hand in a play or a movie or otherwise doesn't make you one. No one gives a shit what you think is wrong with journalism. And his preening and moralism and self-righteousness is on full display, apparently not only in this show, but last night on 60 Minutes. So we will get into all of that as well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
She thinks she's a preacher. She sometimes slips into that way of speaking, right? But there she is. She just wants to table boys and girls sports. Just let the NCAA deal with it, Ben.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
I just don't think they should be betting on it because Trump, while he's saying we're going to have some short-term pain, hopefully for longer-term gain as he imposes these tariffs and so on, he's just never going to let it get to the point where somebody has a political advantage over him. That's just not how Trump operates. I agree with you. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
If he actually sees trouble for himself or his successor or the Republicans on a sustained recession like economy, he'll he'll fix it. He'll he'll let up on the tariffs. He's never going to give them that advantage. Here's the sound about it. We were looking for on Bernie Sanders. So now he's suddenly pro Trump's border. Yeah, you know, it was well overdue. We needed a crackdown on the border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
I mean, it's amazing that he said that to John Carl. And here he was. We pulled this. This is actually Western Lensman, who's on X. He put together this montage, a good one. And then our pal over at RealClearPolitics, Tom Bevin, called attention to it, to Bernie's reversal. Here he was not too long ago, sounding very different under Trump 1.0, SOT 41.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Okay, so no wall, we're going to end the ICE raids, and we're not going to deport any people. And you saw him at that presidential debate saying he wants to decriminalize border crossings. But now he's super in favor of what Trump is doing at the border, long overdue. These guys are such hypocrites, it's absolutely infuriating.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Okay, so there is a lot to talk about with the Democrat Party, but I just want to, while we're sort of on this point, leap to the deportations and what Trump is doing. Because Trump, while he's in the midst of this massive, massive war, lawfare campaign trying to stop his agenda and Democrat appointed judges who are only too happy to help.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
He is winning with some of these executive orders that are targeting more in the private sector. And I just want to get your thoughts on this balance. So he's really getting the crackdown from these immigration, pro-immigration groups on things like his attempt to deport Venezuelan gang members. They're the left really would love for them to stay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
They want us to believe that they're all really sweet and just wanted to be here and work at the neighboring grocery store. Um, okay. Not, not, they're not the ones who killed Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nangari. They don't want to talk about that. So that's getting stopped or at least paused by lawfare and judges like this Boseberg in the D.C. circuit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
OK, then there's Trump issuing these executive orders on Maine when it comes to boys and girls sports. And Maine is caving already. It did at the college level. We still have to get a cave at K through 12. And Trump is at the point where he's like, great, thank you for caving. Now I want my explicit apology from the governor. which is amazing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
You're still not getting your money unless I get my apology and a promise that you'll do it everywhere. He's amazing. Okay, so that's that. Then there's Columbia University, where he went in and said, this is a hotbed of anti-Semitism. You guys are out of control. You need to not let people wear these masks all over campus because they hide behind them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
You need us to take over your weird department on Middle East studies, which seems to be the place you go to learn jihad, and we need to take that over, and a bunch of other things. And Almost entirely, Columbia just caved because it wants its $400 million back from the feds. And then there's what he's doing to these law firms.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
We have a great show for you today. We've got Stephen A. Smith in our second hour, and I will ask him about what's going on in my bracket. I'm sorry. This is the one sports thing I actually do participate in every year, and I love to pick the upsets. I always do because... My whole system is just picking the city with which I have some sort of personal affiliation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So he decides to target a couple of law firms, including Paul Weiss, who hired that one guy who wanted to prosecute Trump when he worked for Alvin Bragg. It was like a mission of his. And Trump was like, you know what? It's a Democrat law firm. They tried to target me or they at least rewarded somebody who tried to target me. And there's going to be all sorts of punishments to this law firm.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Like, I don't think the federal federal government wants to be in business with them, which is his prerogative. And it took about two minutes. for them to completely cave on everything Trump wanted. They went in there with a bouquet of roses and then some, you know, he only wanted roses, but they brought chocolates and diamonds and were on the knee begging him to let up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So Trump is he's having success in these tactics, Ben. But I wonder what you make of the overall strategy and the successes and the not not losses so far, but the thwarting that we're seeing judicially.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So this definitely leads to a lot of potential upsets in my bracket, which some years is great and some years not so great. No, none of the upsets is winning. Have you seen that? Like none. And now there are some real theories coming out about it. Stephen's got one. Clay Travis has got a similar one.

But I'm happy to report that my kids are now officially at the stage where that is no longer true. They are very... very worthy vacation buddies. It takes a while. Like when they're in the single digits, all three of them, that's that I understand that saying very well, but we've crossed over into true vacation mode. Although last week, as you know, was on a vacation.

It is clear the Democrats are in disarray, lost in their messaging and on the hunt for their next political leader. Could my next guest be the answer? There's plenty of speculation and he is garnering some support in early polls. Plus, I need to ask him about my bracket. Joining me now, Stephen A. Smith. He's host of The Stephen A. Smith Show and first take and author of Straight Shooter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Welcome back, Stephen. Great to see you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
I mean, I'm totally out of the NCAA tournament. I'm out. I wanted a couple of years amongst all media because I choose the upsets. And Stephen A., this was not the year to do that. So why is this happening? Why did none of the upsets do well in round one?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
The ones that really caused me are Clemson and St. John's. I went for St. John's because that's not far from where I grew up. And I went for Clemson because it's where my dear friend's daughter goes. And there's a sweet story behind it with their family. So I rooted for them to get all the way Clemson to the final four, which I realized was bold. But, but now there's this theory that,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
that like there's a reason we're not seeing any upsets win. And it has to do with the fact that we're allowing the athletes to make money while they're athletes. Can you explain this to me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Um, and I guess at the end of this show, he turns around and looks at the audience and offers a lecture on how journalism is imploding, that what's happening with the Trump administration is like McCarthyism, that we need a full, free and fair press to hold this administration's feet to the fire. And this is why I gather he was profiled on 60 minutes last night and asked about the fourth estate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
That's exactly right. I remember a couple of years ago, my little guy had a serious injury while skiing and he was laid up in the ICU for a week and we were watching the March Madness Tournament, totally got him through it. And that was the year that Gonzaga had that guy, Timmy. I don't remember his full name, but he was amazing. They were getting beaten down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
They went into the locker room at halftime and he turned around that team and they came back and they made it. They didn't win the tournament, but they made it far and it was so exciting and it was a Cinderella kind of thing. And that's kind of what I thought might happen with some of these other schools, but so far, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Drew Timmy, yeah. He did go on to the NBA. Yes.

OK, but here's here's let me I got to ask you about Duke or I'd be remiss. Now, the only reason I voted for Duke, my husband went there, but I usually don't vote for them just because he went there. I have my system. Right. If I had a connection to the city, I vote for them unless the odds are just crazy. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So but this year, Doug took our whole family to watch Duke play a game against Illinois at Madison Square Garden. And they looked amazing. They looked so good. And everybody was talking about Cooper Flagg. Everybody's in love with this guy, Cooper Flagg, who's he's amazing. He's six foot nine. But I have to tell you, I have to look at the names because I don't have them off the top of my head.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Tyrese Proctor was the one who wowed me. Who is the best player on Duke? And why is it Tyrese Proctor?

Here he is in SOT 12.

My kids looked up. He's 6'9", how tall he was when he was closer to their age. They're in 8th grade, 9th grade, and 5th grade. And in 8th grade, according to the internets, he was already 6'7", which is crazy to think about an 8th grader who's 6'7". Last night, we saw him take an elbow in the eye, and he did look like he had a shiner coming on, and he still played. He kept going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Respect that, too, with how these athletes all play. They all play hurt. I will say this just before we close out our sporting discussion. What happened to Syracuse where I went? When I went there back in the dark ages, 88 to 92, we were great. We were always at the top. It was us, Georgetown, sometimes Duke, Villanova, you know, for the top spot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
They're not even in the tournament, Stephen A. What happened to Syracuse?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
They had Billy and Michael Owens, who is a great football player. They were brothers. They live right next door to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Well, you tell him I live next to him at Skytop. And they constantly were giving us free tickets to go watch the games. And I was like, eh, I'm good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
You know what's crazy, too, is I didn't follow it as closely in basketball. But when I was there, I dated the captain of the lacrosse team that won three Division I national championships. And so I followed lacrosse. And they got their medals, like their first-place trophies, taken away from them after the fact for some alleged recruiting violations that, if memory serves, had to do with, like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
You know, they bent some of the rules around, like, driving players' parents around in limousines, that kind of stuff. All of which they all do now, Stephen A. You know, it's like, and by the way, they were all doing it then, too. It just seems so unfair that I think that's what happened to the basketball program is it got its hand slapped for some of these violations.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And then once you get slapped hard enough, it's very hard to get back up as a basketball team. They've never quite rebounded, to steal a sports phrase.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So that's him backstage with his Edward R. Murrow, like, wannabe castmate supporters, lecturing all of us, Ben, on how it needs to be done and how, I mean, you might say democracy dies in darkness if the journalism people don't do more journalism-ing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
You're so right. God, that really captures it. All right, so we talked about how smart it is to put Cooper flag in front of a flag, and we did see him all over the ads when we watched NCAA. But what's not smart? A disturbing collection of young people on spring break. Now, I left off here with Ben Shapiro, and I've got to pick it back up with you because it's just too delicious.

And again, props to the gal who went down there and got all these folks on camera. I think her name is Caitlin Bennett, and she posts under Liberty. hangout TV. She used to be with turning point, uh, Charlie Kirk's group. So what we, what you missed even was, uh, we played a long clip. I'm gonna play another one where they were asked how many us senators are there.

Who won the Civil War, American Civil War? Was it East or West? The students responded. Name a Supreme Court justice. The girl said, is it the FBI?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
All right. It was Clearwater, Florida, not quite south of the border. Your thoughts on... This is just a rando look into Gen Z. I realize very few people can name even one Supreme Court justice, but I feel like most people know the FBI as an institution does not hold one of the seats. Help me out, Stephen.

One thing may matter. I agree with you on the race, et cetera. But I do think being extremely hot as a college girl can be a detriment to you. And I can say this as somebody who wasn't. But I think these girls, they're all very beautiful. They have perfect bikini bodies. And I think they've been able to skate by already in life for too long on those impressive attributes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And girls, I am here to tell you, It won't last. You need to develop your minds because even men who are attracted to your beautiful looks will eventually want someone to keep the conversation going at dinner. It may happen two years into a relationship. It may happen after three kids when nobody's body looks the same as they did pre-kids. You can get it close, but not the same.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
But at some point, your future mate is going to want you to say something clever about something. And correct me if I'm wrong, Stephen A., but most men will look at women and think, do I want to reproduce with this person and create another generation of idiots? Like, doesn't somewhat of a mind factor in when choosing not your date for Saturday night, but your date for every Saturday night?

But you're going to have to take in something. OK. Right. Let's speaking of running for office. Are you actually consider there's a lot of buzz about you because the Democrats desperately need somebody with charisma, personality, strong views and smarts who maybe isn't a partisan hack. That's all you to step in and say, I will help you. Are you are you kicking it around a little?

You know, it's amazing to watch him talk about this. Like, it's now is the time. Where was he during COVID? You know, you saw last week, the New York Times with its aha moment on COVID. Like, you know what? We really need to talk about the fact that this looks like he came from a lab. How is it we didn't talk about that?

for five years because you New York Times were calling people racist who said it looks like it came from a lab. And then Bill Maher the other night had this like aha moment of like, geez, it really looks like Fauci may have been kind of a villain and not, you know, all these leftists are coming around to the truth of things like COVID. That's just one example.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033

For the NCAA Wrestling Championships this weekend. Cheers of USA. Glad handing. Elon's there. Heroes welcome. So, Stephen A., this is another sports moment where, to confess, I knew nothing about this, but here's what happened. Oklahoma State heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson, who was not expected to win. The other guy he was up against was an Olympic gold medalist. But Hendrickson somehow...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NCAA wrestling history, won the match, and then he, being a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, did the following since his commander-in-chief was there watching. Let's take a look.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And Stephen A. Trump with the like the punching, you know, hand the way he always does. Great moment. Sport. Trump is using sports well in this presidency. No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
That's right. And I agree with you completely. You show respect for the office that is his commander in chief. And sports have always been an area that could potentially bring us together. So it's great, I think, to see the president there. There was another young man who, let's see, it's Nebraska wrestler Caleb Smith, who they had a nice moment together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And we love to see this, like Trump kind of glad handing with him with the arm around the neck. People love this. I think Joe Biden should have done more of this. And Trump's spot on to lean into what's a natural affinity of his, Stephen A. Smith, thank you so much for being here. It was a pleasure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Yeah. So here he is going on, this is to 60 last night, about, you mentioned his op-ed in the New York Times on Joe Biden and why he did it. Such a selfless, brave, brave act, Ben. Here he was.

So here is the little extra that I wanted to bring to you today. It's not hysterical, but it's mildly amusing. So something happened to me on my vacation, at the tail end of my vacation, which I've just been giggling to myself about. I thought I'd share it with you guys. So we were flying home from the Bahamas and I...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
was with my family and was going through security to like get on the jet bridge, like onto the plane with my family. But something happened like right behind me that somehow delayed them. And I actually never, I still don't know what exactly delayed them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So the long and the short of it is I gave my boarding pass to the flight attendant, you know, the gate agent, and she waved me through and I started walking down the jet bridge and, um, Then I looked back and there was this other family in between me and my family. And they had like a bunch of bags and stuff. So I was like, I better get on because I want to make sure I have some space overhead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So I just kept going. But then the jet bridge took a right angle. It kind of turned right, right angle. And I was like, well, this is just too, this is begging time. for me to do this. So I'm going to have to see the overhead space. And I decided I would hide and scare my family because I love to scare them. And they scare me all the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
When we were down at the swimming pool down there, I was minding my own business. I was reading my book. Doug had been swimming with the kids and they sneaked up. I didn't even see it. And they scared me with like a large scream, dropped my book, scared. It's fun. You know, you laugh, you hate it in the moment, but then you kind of laugh about it because you seem like an idiot. Anyway,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
So I'm like, I'm going to get them all. I owe them. Now, I knew that there was a family behind me. So, of course, I knew I had to wait, right? So there I am. I'm behind the corner.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Like you cannot open up a paper, the internet, your podcast feed without seeing a show talking to you about how badly it has imploded, uh, according to the polls, according to the party elders, according to surveys that are figuring out why they lost. And it's just basically abject hatred by Democrats of their own party. I mean, it's just, it's, It's just good luck. I wish you well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
And we laughed about it for the rest of the flight. And it turned out that guy... was seated right in front of me on the plane. It was all I could do not to keep scaring him. I was dying to do it.

That right there is such a lie. It's such a lie, Ben. Let me just give you the dates, okay? That fundraiser where he saw Biden almost falling off the stage where Obama came out to grab him was June 15th. The debate was June 27th. So two weeks passed, he said nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Clooney Lectures About Journalism, and Dems Lean on Bernie and AOC, with Ben Shapiro and Stephen A. Smith | Ep. 1033
Then you and I both watched that debate, just like all of our listeners and viewers did, and saw the then sitting president completely implode. And it was very clear he had no chance of going forward. And it wasn't until July 10th, almost a month after he attended the fundraiser with him, that George Clooney finally wrote that op-ed after it became clear that Joe Biden wasn't stepping down.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And because he was in One Fine Day with Michelle Pfeiffer back in 1996. You were still in your cradle, but they starred.

It was always in the back of my head.

And so I love this movie because she's like this up-and-comer, and he worked, I think, for the New York Daily News or something like that. But anyway, it was like the two of them at the height of their fame. It doesn't make him an actual journalist. And so he's like, who is it?

Is it Tom Cruise who really tried to be a Navy SEAL, even though he was too old to be a Navy SEAL and put himself through SEAL training? It's like, you can try to go through the SEAL training.

The press is not falling down on the job in trying to cover Trump negatively. They're falling down on the job in plenty of other ways.

Because this just in... three more people fired at MSNBC.

Um, this is from the New York post. Uh, the new president there continued to overhaul the embattled network canceling shows. So maybe they're not fired. We're not sure, but their shows are canceled. Um, by left wing anchors. I'm on Moyadine, Katie Fang and Jonathan Capehart. I'm on, I don't know his, I don't want to presume for based as a name, but I do think he's, um, he's Muslim, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Katie Fang is an Asian person, woman, and Jonathan Capehart is a black man who wrote for the Washington Post and was really he was the only person he was like hard leaning into hands up, don't shoot. And as I recall, he was the only person to ever acknowledge that. That turned out to be wrong. I'm sorry. So I give him points for that. But he is hardcore leftist woke.

Here he was just the other week doing that DNC roundtable before they voted on their new president. Everybody had to say if they were non-binary because they needed to get their non-binary numbers up. And this was Jonathan Capehart really drilling down to what was most important in the next leader of the DNC. Watch.

Okay. So, he's now gone. He lost his show. And here's just a little background on what Moyadin did the weekend of October 7th. This is via National Review. He said that Hamas terrorism is ultimately the end result of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignoring Palestinians, adding that the attacks are very deadly consequences of failed policies. So that's him.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Katie Fang, I don't know what her sin was other than terrible ratings. But MSNBC is gleaning something, Victor, and that something is not a positive sign for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
No, neither do I. Somebody said, and this is totally unconfirmed, but somebody told me when I was in some political muckety-muck circles over the Super Bowl weekend that they heard he got bought out by somebody with like hundreds of millions, and that person is a leftist and kind of purchased his opinion. That doesn't sound like drudge to me, but what the hell do I know? Okay, forget about him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Right. Here's now what they've done, because this won't be over for MSNBC. I've told the story before about when I went into the 9 a.m. slot on NBC replacing Tamron Hall, the National Association of Black Journalists wrote a letter to NBC saying, you're racist because you replaced a black woman with a white woman. And I like NBC called them to say, what are you talking about? This is ridiculous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
We have lots of black hosts up and down the lineup. And they admitted they were doing a favor that they got asked. This was a favor. And I know who called it in, um, to, to complain on behalf of this black host. So now what they've done in their primetime lineup over at MSNBC is they replaced out of their one, two, three, four primetime hosts to, um, were women of color.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Alex Wagner is a woman of color. I'm not exactly what her background is, but she's not white. And Joy Reid, of course, is a black woman. And they've replaced two out of the four. with new hosts. In one case, they replaced Joy Reid with two black people and a Hispanic woman. And in the case of Alex Wagner, they put in a white woman. Jen Psaki is in replacing her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
I'm not sure what they're going to, I mean, it's one thing to have Rachel Maddow there. That's the white woman they can all tolerate. Psaki's new to the game. Of course, I don't really call her Jen Psaki because whenever I hear her talk, I can only see and hear this.

That's how she talks. I'm sorry, but it is. So she's going to be taking over there, and there will be racial blowback on MSNBC. It's happening. I guarantee you by this time tomorrow, we'll have some sort of a letter, protest, fiery something. It's going to happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Let's talk about Joy Reid. I'm so torn. Oh, Victor, I'm so torn. You know, I'm thrilled she's gone. She literally was the most racist person on television, her and her most favorite guest, Eli Mistal or Ellie Mistal. So they deserve 100% both to be fired. But, you know, it's like we won't have her to kick around anymore. And there's a little sadness in that.

Like we had Nimrata, meaning Nikki Haley. And we have who was the other Indian he named an Indian American. He like everybody's got to be in their group and be reminded that the evil Republicans will never really want you. They don't really want you, Nikki Haley. They don't really want you, Vivek.

Of course, this is projection. This is how the Democrats see it all. But let me just give you a couple of other examples, Victor, because it's amazing. You look at the people who are going, and I'm sure in six months we'll be doing a montage of the people who came in, and they're probably going to sound a lot like the people who left.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
But in any event, this Alex Wagner, she was doing four days in a Rachel Maddow slot, and Rachel was doing Mondays. And by the way, so the only two people remaining from those four are two white guys. They got the two white guys, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell, survived. They lived to fight another day, okay? But Alex Wagner had to go. Look, in MSNBC's defense, she was totally talentless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
She was pretty. And she was pretty. I'm sorry. This is like the list of her accomplishments. And left wing, which I guess somebody at MSNBC thought, okay, that'll do it. This is just a sample of Alex Wagner's kind of commentary. This is her during the DNC. Let's start with SOT7.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
that carries her pregnancy. She caught herself for saying women and corrected it. I'll give you one more, Victor. Here she is talking about J.D. Vance after the Republican National Convention, SOT6.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
This is one of the many reasons why most of us are absolutely delighted to see her get fired from this show. And it appears from MSNBC, tonight we believe will be here last night, a little walk down memory lane in Sat 1.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012

So I wonder whether she went more left wing with that lunacy because when she first started out, she had nothing other than probably a natural leftist bent and her good looks and an obvious – inability to manage her surroundings. Now, this is another thing.

Keith Olbermann talked about this on his podcast at one point, because I remember we ran the soundbite and he was talking about how he did get, he says he got Alex Wagner a job at MSNBC, but the problem was she could not read prompter or they wanted him to use her more, but she could not read prompter. So we actually looked into it and lo and behold, the man was right. Here's sod eight.

She's out the door, at least from the show. Joy Reid's out the door. Jonathan Capehart, say goodbye to your show. Jen Psaki moving up in the world. But here's the bottom line. It's a bloodbath at MSNBC. And the reason is, yes, they went too far left. I mean, not too far left, but just too far loon. They went too far loon. And the other reason is these ratings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
These numbers that I was reading to you just a moment ago. These are horrid. These are truly horrid numbers. The overall... is terrible too. The overall, okay, in the 700s, Rachel Maddow gets 1.8 million in the night she's in. That's respectable. That's a good number. I mean, Hannity gets 3 million. So, but I'm just saying she's not a laughable number and everybody else is a joke.

That was their prime time lineup on Thursday. So- They understand their business model requires an overhaul in order for them to remain on the air. I'll just give you one other thing, okay? Now they're pinning their hopes on Jen Psaki. Jen Psaki, Dora, who is... I'm sorry, but this is not a talented broadcaster. She wasn't a talented White House spokesperson, and she's not a talented broadcaster.

And unlike a lot of people, like Mark Thiessen, who I found with his little clipboard, and at the beginning he was really nerdy and sweet, but slightly stiff. who had huge potential and has since realized it, she does not have huge potential.

These left-wing channels like MS and CNN, too, for that matter, they don't want race to be anything other than essential. They refuse. Those of us who have been trying to make it less essential and follow the MLK, I see a friend, I don't see a black friend, they object to it. They say, now you're a racist if you feel that way. But, Megan, who's doing that?

And he's really being we would not normally say like, oh, she's getting replaced by two black people and a Hispanic person. But that's how they count everything. And, you know, full well of Joy Reid were replaced by a white woman. There would be a full on meltdown at MSNBC. By the way, there still might be. Like I say, there's going to be blowback in the next 24, 48. But there's now a report.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
that they've offered Joy Reid to come in tonight to do a final show. But just as I was coming to air, maybe this has since been resolved since, you know, 46 minutes ago, that they couldn't find Joy Reid. They hadn't heard from her. And they were still unclear on whether she would be showing up to do the last show. And what else does she have planned? Like, who knows?

So Elon Musk once again sent federal workers and their media supporters into a tailspin this weekend by sending out via the Doge team an email saying, please name five things that you've worked on this week. It was not well received, I think it's fair to say. Cue 10,000 articles about how inappropriate he is and what an offense this was. I'll give you just one example.

I remember how proud I was when I first swore my oath as a civil servant, honor of a lifetime. Remember why you chose to serve. Stay strong. I and many others will be right by your side.

I could easily respond to this email from my employer. I actually do go to my job and work. They're freaked out that his email was, what did you do last week? And he told them to summarize their accomplishments. On X, he said failure to respond would be taken as a resignation. He did not say that in the actual email, but I'm not sure this is.

So just so we're clear, Cash said that. You don't have to do it with the FBI. Pete said that at defense. You don't have to do it here. Tulsi just said that over the intelligence agencies. You don't have to do that here. And, of course, the judiciary, there was a mass email sent out to judges and judges' staff, which – that's appropriate.

They didn't want to answer it. And I'm sure in Elon said in his defense, what we're finding. is that there's so many federal employees who don't even check their email. They don't come to work.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
They don't check their email. They're out to lunch. They don't come to the office. That's one of the big things that they're trying to do, get a return to the office, because they don't believe they're working. I think they're sitting at home watching their stories on the taxpayer dime, and in a lot of cases, they are. So they can't fill out the list of five things.

White woman tears happening right here, Joy. She was officially fired over the weekend because she's a racist, horrible news anchor with no ratings. And that's really been the truth for a long time. MSNBC is under new management, and I guess they decided to come to grips with reality. The truth is, this is very sad news for us as she's provided so much material over the years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Yeah, to be accountable. That's what I expect of my staff. That's what's always expected of me when I had a boss. And that's absolutely what we expect of our federal workers. Now, on the topic of accountability, this is actually really interesting. Dan Bongino said, was offered and accepted the position as number two at the FBI under Kash Patel, deputy director of the FBI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Dan Bongino, one of the greatest guys in America, who is former NYPD, former Secret Service, who has been on the pointy edge of the spear on calling down the BS attacks on Trump and with respect to the investigations against him and all that stuff for a long time now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
To me, I'm amazed he took it because even though we absolutely could use him and he's definitely qualified, notwithstanding the fact that he hasn't been in the FBI, all the panties are in a bunch over there reportedly at the FBI. He's not one of us. Yes, exactly. Right. That's why he got the offer. But I can't believe he took it. I guarantee you he's making millions of dollars doing that podcast.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
It was very successful. And so good for him. It's a self-sacrifice. He's Definitely very close with Trump. He's had a religious reconnection or awakening post his significant cancer experience, which, I mean, he almost lost his life. And I'll bet anything he really felt called. So he's going over there. But this is I wanted to show you this. Some savvy. savvy Twitter user. Do we have it? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012

The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Well, I mean, this could be accountability day for Adam Schiff, because what's interesting about the Bongino comment is it's about what you're talking about, Russiagate and so on. What Adam Schiff got the preemptive pardon from Biden for was his work on the J6 committee. That was all J6 stuff. He did not get a preemptive pardon for everything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And so I do wonder what Bongino exactly will or possibly push for. Once he gets in there, um, like that Adam Schiff may be exposed on a lot of that stuff. Let's say hypothetically you decided he should be charged with, let's take one of the Democrats favorite charges, seditious conspiracy, where you, you work to overthrow your government or your president, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
You could maybe, maybe that's what they're going to try. I have no idea, but, um, I just looked it up. That's got a five-year statute of limitations. So we're, we're beyond that now. I'm, yeah, we're pretty beyond that, right? I mean, I guess it depends. Maybe not, maybe not, because if you look at, the full Russia gate allegations and how long they took to play out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
I have to go back and look at the date of the Mueller report. Anyway, you're going to have some, some statute of limitations problems, but the FBI could certainly make your life unpleasant while they investigate such a thing. If there's any sort of colorable claim that we're still in time.

Mm hmm. I I do want to spend a minute with you on Ukraine. But before we get to Ukraine, let's talk about Germany. So over there in Germany, the sort of more moderate conservative party has won their parliamentary elections. And the more conservative, more to the right, more MAGA esque party has gotten only 20 percent of the vote, which is very good for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
It's just they didn't win enough to actually win. And so unfortunately, the moderate Republicans over there or conservatives govern with the left in Germany. They're not going to form some coalition with the more MAGA-esque branch of the conservatives. They're going to form a coalition with the more leftist branch, which is unfortunate for our German friends because that's not what they need.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And now already, the likely new German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who is the leader of this conservative Christian Democratic Union, that's the moderates, gives an interview and says the following. It's an absolute priority to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we achieve independence from the U.S. step by step.

After the latest statements by Donald Trump last week, it is clear that the Americans, at any case, these Americans, this administration, mostly don't care about the fate of Europe one way or another.

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
also said that intervention from Washington, a reference to Vance and Musk expressing support for AFG, the Alternative for Germany Party, that's the more MAGA-esque group, was no less drastic, dramatic, and ultimately no less outrageous than the intervention that we've seen from Moscow. What?

Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
People close to this guy describe him as direct and pragmatic, says the Washington Post, but also arrogant and thin skinned. So this does not sound like a friend to the United States. And he's offended by the messaging coming out of the United States, which has really been do your part, Germany.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Right.

Donald Trump is the only American... Let me finish up domestically before I take us fully across the pond there. Trump in an epic battle of words and now in the courts with the main governor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
It was a thing of beauty when at the governor's meeting at the White House on Friday, he called her out to her face on her defiance of his executive orders around gender and boys trying to play in girls sports. Watch this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
It's perfect. Perfectly done. Trump, thank you so much. So thrilled you won. OK, that woman is Janet Mills. And I just want to say this. She's she's a far lefty on this issue and she's not in step with the people. He's absolutely right. But let me just tell you something. An executive order does have the force of federal law. It does have the force of federal law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And under the supremacy clause, federal law trumps state law when they conflict. State law reigns if there's no federal law. But if there is a federal law and there's a competing state law and they conflict, federal law trumps state law. So Trump is absolutely right in his constitutional interpretation there. And an executive order has the full force and effect of law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
The only way of getting out of an executive order is if you can if you can prove that the president did not have the authority to enact it in the first place. You know that he is acting willy nilly and there's nothing in the Constitution that gave him the power to to issue such a thing. That's not going to be the case here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Title IX is a legitimate, duly enacted statute that the executive branch and the Department of Education has been interpreting since it was passed. And he said to her, Title IX must be complied with. Title IX, Biden's changes to it, allowing boys to compete, has been struck down. That is no longer of any valid force or effect, and all the courts will so hold.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
What's in effect right now is a title that protects girls, biological girls in sport. And the Department of Education, which now is Trump's, has interpreted Title IX to say boys may not play. And so he's 100% in the right legally. If he says you will not let boys play because Title IX doesn't allow it, it doesn't matter what her state civil rights law says.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
We already saw a very similar battle to this play out, Victor, in 303 Creative, where we had Colorado go in there and say our state human rights laws do not allow this woman to say she won't create a wedding website for people who are LGBTQ.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And she went in and said, okay, I see that's what the state human rights law says, but the federal constitution protects my right of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom not to say or endorse certain things. And that's right there, the same amendment that governs press and so on. And so the court said, right, the Constitution will trump this particular protection under the state law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
That's what happened. That's what's going to happen in Maine. She knows it. She's looking to make herself a star. And she is, because if you Google her name and Trump today, you will see about two dozen fawning profiles on the woman who stood up to Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
So they replaced her with two, three other hosts, two of whom are black, one of whom is Hispanic. And I guess they think that will save them. We'll see. They fired everybody. Her entire staff has been laid off, which apparently they found out about the cancellation from the trade mags or from from from the Internet. Same as the rest of us. Classic NBC move. There's such a classy group over there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
How about Trump and the guts to call her out and engage in that battle? There won't be 24 profiles of Trump and how tough he is. Right. Has no qualms. A lot of men especially would not want to take on the female governor, get right up in her face like that. Not Trump. He does not give a fig.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
So she wants to go down swinging. Meanwhile, in her state, In February, February 18th, this is I think why it was on Trump's mind, a biological boy won first place in the Maine state championship for pole vaulting. The boy who now goes by the name Katie had a clearance over the week, sorry, over the vault, six inches higher than the girl who came in second. Here's the same boy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Here he was last season. two years ago, sorry, when he was tying for fifth place in the pole vault, now that he's a so-called girl, there he is atop the leaderboard and in the number one spot because he's gone from tied for fifth two years ago as a boy to winning first by a mile over the girls he towers over, both in the pole vault and on those podiums where they accept their medals.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
It's ridiculous, Victor. And this is what she's standing up for. Katie, who's actually a boy, that's who she's standing up. She doesn't give two shits about the women who are down in second and third place there, who worked their whole middle school, high school, elementary school to try to get as high as they could in pole vault and were doing great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And that second place finisher who would have had gold had it not been for her defiance of the Trump EO.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
But it is true that. Among the dumbest people over at MSNBC, she appears to have been the dumbest and the worst rated. We just pulled the ratings from Thursday night. On Thursday night, this is in the 25 to 54 demo. I mean, this is just unbelievable. Like, truly, when I was at Fox, a bad night in the demo would be in the threes, 300 and change. But it was often 600,000, 700,000 and change.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
agree. She made a fool of herself. She in, let's see this year per the Portland press Herald Maine K through 12 schools received 250 million in federal funding this school year, which is more than virtually any other school. Maine is especially dependent on the feds for its education money. $250 million, and she is going to lose it unless she gets in the line.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And like every other politician, when she realizes that money's on the line, which means her job, she will be fired by the main residents if she loses $250 million in federal funding. She'll bend the knee, and I can't wait to watch her bend it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
I don't care whether a court has to tell her she has to do it, or she just learns the hard way when she loses her money because the Trump Department of Education has just notified her of that there's an investigation now. This is the quote, quote, Maine would have you believe that it has no choice in how it treats women and girls in athletics. Let me be clear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
If Maine wants to continue to receive federal funds from the education department, it must follow Title IX or we will do everything in our power to ensure taxpayers are not funding blatant civil rights violators. She could be in trouble with them. She could be in trouble with DOJ. She's definitely going to get sued and she's going to lose. And good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Let her serve as a lesson, Victor, for the others who are dangerously flirting with this same line.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
I mean, she used to be a federal prosecutor, a state prosecutor. She shouldn't have forgotten the law. It hasn't been that long ago. She knows perfectly well. That's why I believe she's grandstanding to get her name in the paper and have a girl boss moment. And the left wing press just runs with it. Like without I actually look through the press today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Like, did anybody do a fair job of actually explaining there is a supremacy clause that EO's would have supremacy over state law? And the only the only way out of it is the way I described. No, no. It's just read The New York Times right up of it. It's oh, she took him on. Look how tough she is. She's a tough girl. She was a prosecutor. It's ridiculous. What a disservice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And before we go to break, I just want to give you one other example of media malpractice in somewhat related news. There's a group of San Francisco people who are suing Trump over his executive orders as pertains to gender, DEI and so on. They think he can't issue these executive orders. So they're going to file a lawsuit and try to challenge him. Fine. Lots of people are doing that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
In the demo... Those are now the overall numbers, the total audience numbers on a great number for most of cable news. Um, here's her demo number from Thursday night. 59,000. She was 4,000 away from slashies, which is, um, well, no 9,000, which is 50,000. She was 59,000. That's what she got in the overall demo.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
And it'll play out in the courts. But Axios reports on the lawsuit. And here's their headline. San Francisco community groups sue Trump over anti-trans executive orders. President Trump, this is Axios, ran his campaign on an incendiary anti-trans platform. All right. First of all, he never ripped on trans people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
He said that he was going to stop them from competing in girls' sports, and he was going to declare actual gender realities. If you want to live your life as a man claiming to be a woman, that's your business, and Trump has never said otherwise.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
President Trump ran his campaign on an incendiary, it's not incendiary, the vast majority of the public is with Trump, anti-trans platform that promoted false claims about the community. Well, I was interested in that because I followed this issue very closely when Trump was running and thereafter. So I clicked on the little link in the Axios report.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
What were the, quote, false claims about the community that he made? And it's cited back to a 2024 Axios article about Trump's appearance at a barber shop in the Bronx and this exchange. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
That is 100 percent true. It is correct. And they know it because this is what Axios wrote at the time they wrote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
Um, they quoted that thing and then they said, uh, the Trump Vance campaign pointed to a number of stories about policies that allow students to socially transition in the classroom without informing parents, but none of which supported his claims of operations being done, being conducted in schools.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
That's not what he said, that he was listing a bunch of stuff, the craziness that's happening out there right now. And then he made the separate point that kids are going to school as boys and they're transing them at school. It is 100% true. Just for kicks, David, Victor, I pulled just a couple. California mother claims teachers manipulated her daughter to change her gender identity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
This is out in California. This mother, Jessica Conan, filed a lawsuit alleging that the school allegedly manipulated her seventh grade daughter to change her gender identity under the guise of their parental secret policy where teachers could counsel students about gender confusion and assert a new gender identity without notifying parents.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
This became law in California that you were allowed to do this in New York City, in the private and the public schools. It's the policy that the kid can come to school, David. He can say, I'm Denise, all day while there, take tests as Denise, be called Denise, then go home, David, again at the end of the day, get a report card for David.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Joy Reid Finally Fired, Bongino Joins Trump Admin, and Possible Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, with Victor Davis Hanson | Ep. 1012
The parents have no idea when they go in for parent-teacher, they talk about David, have no freaking clue he's a Denise to everyone there. And it's policy. That's what Trump's pointing out and the nerve of Axios' dishonest hack paper and their DEI reporter, Shauna Chen, who's focused on race and justice.

If you listen to Trump in context, he's made very clear he knows who started the war. But in any event, you know what the left wing media is doing right now to him. He's totally capitulated to Putin. He gave up the game before the negotiation started. He should have held back that Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO. J.D.

She issued a blanket apology, noting, quote, I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me.

Doug and I were watching this this morning and we were talking about just how extraordinary it is that Trump is our president. that he became president, that he's now been returned to the presidency. We were talking about just how awful Barack Obama was and how radically he changed the country with his far-left progressive agenda.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And not with Congress. No, no, with his pen and his phone. Remember? His pen and his phone. And, I mean, it was infamous. Like, he was more dangerous than... Any politician that's followed because he was so affable and he had his folksy way of talking and, you know, people were like, I like him. And they felt good about themselves. They're voting for the first black president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So it was like he had all his momentum as his agent of hope and change, like a great slogan. And they felt good about themselves. And then he did things that should make you feel good about yourselves. You know, when it comes to changes in race, changes in the gender approach, he's the reason we're doing these sex changes on these prisoners and so on. Yep. A hundred percent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And then you get Trump, the wrecking ball, you know, crass and impolite and a fighter. And America's like, we want him. And that was just never understood. They thought it was all about the working class, which it was in part, but it was also like, we're We don't want any of this radical radicalism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So what you're seeing there is that they're not even they're not anywhere near the action. Right. The president's walking into the rotunda on Capitol Hill a couple of miles away. And so there were people who were in that room. Then there were people who were in the overflow room inside the U.S. Capitol building.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And when Trump lost because he behaved badly around January 6th, the left thought it had a new mandate with Joe Biden to just triple down and then some on Obama's radicalness. And that's why he held his head in shame as he exited office today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
By the way, I watched a little bit of CBS this morning, which is when I heard Gayle King, like, where are the people of color? While he's rolling back the DEI stuff because of his mandate to do that. Yeah, right. She's obsessed. I mean, there's no getting her off of that horse. But on CBS, that was how they were spinning the immigration reform. Like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
oh, well, the Republicans aren't going to get behind this, you know, because they're Chamber of Commerce Republicans and they like these workers and so on. Like, yes, there is still a small contingent of the Republican Party saying that. But this is Trump's Republican Party, CBS. Great job just trying to stir up trouble, you know, like find a way of saying he's going to fail.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And then these folks in the Capitol one building, which is the sports arena, were overflow overflow. And you would have thought they were right in front of him. given those cheers. The enthusiasm in this town right now is palpable. I mean, palpable. And here is the moment it became official when Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts, swore in Donald J. Trump as the 47th president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Trump's not going to fail with these immigration reforms that he has a mandate from Dems and Republicans. Look at those numbers we just went through.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Yes, this is like the point I was trying to make yesterday at the Capital One Arena because they asked me if I would speak about culture. Like they give you an assigned topic so that they don't have the same topic being discussed over and over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
They know I'm into that, right? So they're like, oh, shit. Sorry, I lost my ears. They said, can you talk about culture? So I did. So, I mean, this is obviously an issue near and dear to my heart. But this is one of the points that I was trying to make is that, you know, the DEI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
battle has been hard fought and it's gone on for years now, but it took a lot of human sacrifice to get to the point where we're all, I mean, not the entire country, but the majority of the country's back in the same place of, we don't want this. We, we object to race essentialism. We object to the trans mania. We object to the trans activists who are the most ardent bullies in America right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And I, I went through some of like the, the people who sacrificed themselves to get us here. And we, I think they cut a sound by, can we listen to some of that? I don't have my ears in, but like, let's play it. And then you had Oprah herself, Oprah. She'll interview you if you pay her a million dollars, too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Yeah, it's a low, low fee of a million dollars to sit down with Oprah Winfrey, apparently. That's what the Harris campaign paid her production company, she says. And for that, you know what you get? You get Oprah yelling at you. Come on, Harris! Why are you doing that? Calm down, madam. My favorite was the preacher accent. Joy cometh in the morning. And she wasn't wrong about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
It came at about 1.22 a.m. on election night when the election was called for Donald J. Trump. All of you wearing the MAGA hats. It used to be an act of civil disobedience, right? Yes, sir. Defiance of a registered order that didn't want to hear from you. But wearing that hat for much of the past eight years has been an act of courage, too. Those battles, one after the other, have been fought.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And this anti-DEI momentum has been built brick by brick. Thanks to all of you. And you who listened to Donald Trump, who, when a reporter asked him at a presidential debate in 2015 about some of the language he used, responded by saying, What I say is what I say. And if you don't like it, too bad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So I thank all of you for being part of the Trump movement and for bringing these changes upon us and for bringing Donald Trump back into the office. And a reminder before I go, stay strong. We haven't won the war. We're winning. We've won a bunch of battles. But he's going to need all of you every step of the way. We're going to have to be patient. We're going to have to steel our spines.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Do not bend. Never bow. What I say is what I say. God bless you. God bless President Trump. God bless the United States of America. We finally figured out how to lower the screen in here so that we're not in full sun. That was my point, right, is that it's been a lot of people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And I went through in the longer speech of examples like Jody Shaw of Smith College, who I think, you know, I don't know that she ever was able to rebuild her life because she picked to fight with them over what they were doing on DEI and they tried to ruin her life. And there's so many beyond her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Did you see that poll that showed that 67% of people under the age of 30 are enthusiastic about Trump's term, about Trump taking off? More than any other age cohort, the young people are the most enthusiastic about Trump. And I do believe all of this is very much part of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986

The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I mean, people like Chloe Cole, who she I had her in my draft. I just forgot to mention her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Yeah. I mean, she's she's a detransitioner, as as we call people who, you know, go down that path and look at like the physical changes to her. They're on. They're irreversible, as Abigail Schreier said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Oh, Sundar Pichai is there, who runs Google. Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg. Ladies and gentlemen. Exactly. No, I mean, it's like all these guys, it's great. They're coming on board because they bent the knee to Trump. I'm totally in favor of it. But they are absolutely hashtag part of the problem on how we got here. Never mind what they did on COVID. I know we don't talk about COVID.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We just don't talk about COVID anymore. I don't know if you knew that. We really don't talk about it when it comes to Anthony Fauci, who's now free as a jailbird just out on parole.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We got to get to that. But in any event, they were hashtag part of the problem. So we'll see whether they change their tune now. We'll see whether on YouTube now I can say they're mutilating the bodies of children in the name of this pernicious ideology and whether YouTube will allow my video to live and not be demonetized because you're not allowed to say that word on YouTube. But I've said it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Now Trump is president and we'll see. Let's do, we'll go back to Trump too, but let's go to the pardons because this is just egregious. Everybody under the sun. I mean, the J6 committee members, his entire family, right? Mark Milley and Dr. Fauci. And by the way, the pardons go back, especially Fauci. Go back to 2014. It starts in 2014 forward. What the hell was he doing in 2014?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
It's because he funded gain-of-function research. It's because he was behind the problem that caused the damn pandemic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He should do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Hypocritical. Yeah. Agreed. Go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Let's see. Hold on. We have in SOP 15, I think, some of that. Yeah, here's Biden, December 2020.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Wow. Shaking the hand of outgoing President Joe Biden, hugging his family. There was a moment there where Chief Justice John Roberts got started a little sooner than the family anticipated. So Melania had to step in sort of at the very beginning of the oath. And then you saw Trump's children come sort of like, oh, it's time, you know, like we got to get over there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
You're not? Really? And they were all saying it. By the way, Adam Schiff was on camera. He got a pardon because he was on the J6 committee. Liz Cheney got a pardon. And all the staffers. Yeah, all the staffers. Kinzinger. Right. He was just out two weeks ago saying, I wouldn't take a pardon. By the way, they don't have to accept them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
There's a question about whether it's valid if they don't accept it. Right. Yeah. Right. Like there's I mean, there's a legal debate on whether you must say I accept. And I think most lawyers say, yeah, you do. You have to say I accept it in order for it to be valid for you. And there's but I really think so.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
The Fauci one is the one that has me most ticked off because I really do think Fauci lied repeatedly to Congress. And Rand Paul certainly thinks that and I think was preparing to go after him. And I don't know what else Fauci did. I mean, we've never been able to find the smoking gun evidence that he actually was behind the COVID virus, the wanted issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
But he definitely funded gain of function research, which is very dangerous, including in the Wuhan lab through this Peter Daszak group. And we just were never given the information to close that last loop. It would be wonderful to get it under the Trump administration. None of these guys can plead the fifth if they're called the four Congress. So that's the silver lining.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
They all have to testify fully. They cannot plead the fifth. And, and by the way, it doesn't stop any investigations whatsoever and, or civil lawsuits. And you know what else it doesn't stop state lawsuits, state prosecutions, state prosecutions. You can be prosecuted by the state. A federal pardon does not. That was Trump's problem. Remember? Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We were saying like he could pardon himself, but only for the federal crimes, not for those state prosecutions in New York or in Georgia. Well, guess what? Dr. Fauci and J6 committee members and General Milley, you're all in the same position. And, you know, somebody was pointing out online. Let's be real.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
If they were prosecuted by the feds in Washington, D.C., not a one would be convicted of anything, given the jury pool here. Nothing. So, I mean, it's galling. I agree. But realistically, they weren't going to get convicted. Biden made the point that they wouldn't be convicted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I know, but in a way, but to your original point. So. what did we really lose? Cause we weren't going to get convictions of any of those people. And yet now Trump has cover to pardon all of the people who actually are in danger in this jurisdiction. All of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States. J.D. Vance, the vice president. Right now, it happened. The day began at St. John's Church where Donald Trump, his family, and incoming top officials worshiped and demonstrated that class and grace are back in the White House. Look at Melania, this incredible hat, absolutely stunning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And Tiffany Trump was sort of in the middle. And it was kind of nice. Joe Biden kind of said, come over here and stand here. You could go a different way with it. You could go a different way, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was just being a nice guy. The crowd inside the Capitol included Trump's predecessors, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And I'll tell you the one thing that jumped out at me was Mark Milley, who issued a statement saying—hold on a second. I have it here. Okay. He said, Really? How are you any different from Donald Trump, who's 78 years old and really didn't want to spend the time he had left fighting for his freedom in four different jurisdictions? Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
All of these Democrats, I assume I don't know what Milley is, but he certainly sounds like a Democrat. He behaved like one at the end of Trump's term, want such sympathy for themselves. Like, poor me, the evil Trump. They have absolutely no empathy for him or take no responsibility for what they did, what they've been doing to him for years now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
twice. Yeah. How did that happen?

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
You know, you can't say these people who are obsessed with race, you cannot save them from themselves. Like, I don't think they can be cleansed of this illness. The ones we're going for are the ones who are faking it just to keep their jobs and go along. Yeah. The CEOs, right. Exactly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Or like those guys who work at the banks on wall street, who just kind of went along with, no, I definitely want to hire another woman for sure. Even though The three weakest people on my team happen to be female.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I mean, yeah. Like, we are great at many, many things. We don't have to be great at driving. No, but honestly, that's why there was such a backlash to Caitlin Clark owning her white privilege when she was recognized as Time's Athlete of the Year. What I heard from everybody, my audience, my friends, my colleagues, was... We don't have to do that anymore.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We want a whole presidential election and a House and a Senate so that we don't have to do that anymore. And that's why Trump is just such a breath of fresh air. He comes in and he's like, you know, he dropped some swears yesterday at the Capital One Arena. I think he said bullshit. You know, he infamously called Ted Cruz the P word.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We have to talk about the village people. What a moment. Somebody tweeted out. It was a Democrat. We've officially lost the gays. Like the gays have officially lost the village people. We lost those five gays. And I didn't realize that the village people is like the globetrotters. We're like, I guess they just keep getting replaced because those guys were not.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Not Michelle, because she's not a phony and she hates him and didn't want to be there. We don't know why she didn't come, but of course, that's why she didn't come. The guys who made all the news and got the attention of all the news media were the tech titans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
The village people came to fame in the 70s. They're not 80. These guys are young. They were so entertaining. My favorite was the Native American, but it was tight. It was tight. It was hard to pick a favorite. And Trump dancing... With the village people to YMCA. This is the most iconic. That's the Doug Mills New York Times shot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Doug Mills is a genius because that is gold. That will live forever. And for the listening audience, it's the Native American with a huge headdress coming down in the back of him and the huge Y, you know, his arms up in a Y. And Trump in his like signature dance move, like the fists out and his hip out to the side. And like the Indian guy looks so happy. Like he just looks so jubilant.
The Megyn Kelly Show

When you think about what's happening on our college campuses, most of them do receive some federal money. How are they going to stop this? Because the executive order can only apply to schools that accept federal money. You can't control state schools. How is it going? How are they going to deal with this? Like the women's studies departments that have completely sold out to the trans lobby.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Elon Musk of X, Jeff Bezos of Amazon and the Washington Post, Mark Zuckerberg, who created Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and more, many more. Sundar, the guy who runs Google. They were all there as the president, delivered a message about unity, about optimism, and about always now putting America first.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
How are they going to handle the fact that they can't insist on preferred pronouns, that there's an executive order saying there are only two genders. He should have said two sexes, but fine. I'll give him, I know where he's going. I don't think he wrote it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
No, I don't think he did either, but it'll be like how these things actually get implemented and the pushback legally and culturally and as a practical matter. are still a big question mark for me. That's going to be a big storyline over the next coming weeks and months as Trump actually gets to work. And of course...
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
the immigration thing is going to take top slot on the news channels because already today, already today they are showing and circulating videos. Have you seen it of the so-called asylum seekers, you know, alleged asylum seekers being told CPB one has been shut down. You cannot use that app anymore. And the media is showing them crying like, Oh, but I want to get in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I'm sure you do want to get in. I'm sorry. It's not your country. We have no obligation to let you in. And this process has been so disgustingly abused by so many others before you. You can't come in. You're going to have to go someplace else. There are people from your country who are in line, who you're trying to skip.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I wonder, is there definitely not in favor of closing the border or finishing off the border fence?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He said today at the after speech, immigration was the reason. It was the number one reason. Hmm. He said, I know I know, you know, inflation was important, too. But he's like immigration was huge. And like he said, there's only so many times you can tell people what the price of bread is. But, you know, you see what's happening at our border.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And look, you know, the reason I think somebody like, you know, Tucker Carlson, who's obviously a big fan of Trump, is so devoted to him is he is. expects to see that border closed, like his top surrogates and closest people to him and including his family members. They want that border closed.

and continues to be. And that's why the other piece of this is Tom Homan, who's heading up the deportation force. He said that he, there were, there was a report that he was going to start in Chicago, but the administration is being cagey about where they're going to start because they don't want all the illegals to flee from one city to the next. I think they want some element of ambiguity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Like we used to have in Taiwan. Um, But I bet they're starting right now. I guarantee you Tom Holman is either at his desk or in the field working on deportations at this moment. That guy was chomping at the bit. And I do expect the media to make a huge sob story out of this. Like, oh, poor... But they're setting the stage. You know, Holman and others now have been re...

jiggering the narrative to there's no such thing as family separations the families are welcome to leave with the illegal it's not our obligation to leave the illegal here so that he or she can stay with their family who may or may not be here lawfully that is that's the choice of the family and i heard i think it was christy noam say at her confirmation hearing
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
When somebody gets arrested and they have to go into prison, we don't talk about family separation. It's like, right, you're going to have to leave your family because you did something wrong. Like, that's on you, madam or sir. And I think the media is going to... They're not going to embrace that narrative.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986

Yeah, what it used to be. My team has pulled a soundbite that they think we want to see. It's Rachel Maddow talking to NBC's Jacob Soboroff, who is very- He's terrible on immigration. He's very, very woke on immigration. Let's watch.

He's such a jerk. He is one of the guys who was on my set the day of my blackface comments and couldn't throw me under the bus soon enough. He was like, Back it up over her, 10 times over. Semi. I was like, F you. Sending you back to Mexico.

Okay, that was my favorite moment of the whole thing. Yes, Mirabelle was adorable, but what I loved about that was a couple things. But number one, it was his mom. His mom, Beverly, who just hit 10 years clean from her heroin addiction.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I mean, I get it. They don't generally stand for the other side. If he hadn't finished it with Make America Great Again, they probably would have stood, I guess. I don't know. I'm glad we don't have to find out. But maybe we can give him that one. Whatever. Everybody else is on their feet, clapping away. And it was a beautiful moment. And Trump seemed contemplative and seemed a bit more serene.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And I got to tell you, like, this actually kind of makes me kind of emotional, but like the way she looks kind of reminds me of my sister, you know, who was also an addict recovering like Beverly. But, you know... like a little weathered, like beautiful, but a little weathered. You can tell this person's not had the easiest life. And look at her, you guys. It's so sweet.

She's there seeing her son sworn in as the vice president. If you know his story, and I know it well now, but he suffered. He suffered so mightily. His dad abandoned them. His mom had man after man in the house. His mom had a history of abuse. And he writes all about the time she drove him 90 miles an hour in a car and threatened to kill them both. And he was terrified and the police came.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He heard a lot of domestic violence in the house. He never knew what pajamas were. He slept in blue jeans, as he said most Hillbilly kids did, most of their upbringing. He had Pepsi in his baby bottle. So he had a weight problem most of his life. He still struggles with it. He had absolutely no signs that something wonderful would happen in his life. None. None whatsoever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And he had the blessing of some strong women around him. His mamaw. chief among them, who became a national figure when he wrote Hillbilly Elegy. His sister, Lindsay, with whom he has a very close, loving relationship. She's five years older. Amy Chua, professor at Yale Law School, who really is one of the reasons he is up there today.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
She saw him as something special and helped him, encouraged him to write that book, which changed everything. Usha, who he met at Yale Law School. And Inside this abusive environment was a really smart, gifted kid. And Mamaw saw it. She kicked his ass. She was merciless on him. She made him work hard and keep his marks up and so on. And he wound up using the military to go to college.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He went to Ohio State. And he did really well. Like he crushed Ohio State in two years with a double major. And the next thing you knew, he was like, you know what? What the hell? He applied to Yale Law School and got in. And that, I'm sure, was the biggest game changer of his life, you know, getting into Yale Law School. And he served. And he served.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He served as a Marine for five years, I think it was. And like to see him up there and to see his loving mother... who I'm sure this is by far the greatest accomplishment she's seen in her own life. You know, I mean, her, her daughter, Lindsay's great too, but this is remarkable. Be alive for it. You know, like be able to take it in because JD Vance is young. J.D.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Vance just turned 40 a few months ago, which is why he has toddlers up there with him. And that's another piece of the wonderful moment, which is we're going to have him for, God willing, decades to come. And if all goes well, he could be the person to whom Trump passes the baton in four years to keep this whole thing going. So anyway, for me, by far the number one moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He's definitely in a great mood. He's been working around the clock. And you can only imagine what that was like for him to return. You know, he talked about how they tried to kill me. They indicted me. And I'm back. I did it. I survived. But perhaps my own favorite moment from the speech was President Trump announcing the executive actions he plans to take today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
No, I thought the same thing. And I thought... Both of those guys have come under serious fire from leftists who are out to ruin them. J.D., there was a period where even the Republican Party was saying he's not going to make it, that they're going to pull him after Trump named him, that he wasn't going to survive childless cat lady.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And by the way, for the record, I said from the beginning, you people are fools. That is not going to happen. He will remain the nominee. And... Trump stood by him, too. Trump did not waver on J.D. He did not waver on Brett Kavanaugh. And so there was a poetic justice to Kavanaugh being the one to administer the oath to J.D. today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Not to mention he married a woman who happens to be brown and he has mixed race kids, which they would be celebrating too. But instead they tell us he too is a white supremacist who's working for a white supremacist now. It doesn't count.

In fact, you guys, can we pull over the soundbite of J.D. Vance in my interview of him in 2017 when I said, are you going to run for office? And his reaction to it. I think you guys can probably find it. We've played it before, but it's a great one. When I interviewed him back then, so I feel like we can almost... say exactly what he would have said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
He wouldn't have believed that, you know, there was, it was clear when I sat with him in 17 that he was possibly contemplating a future in politics because he had just left Peter Thiel and working for him in Silicon Valley.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And he told me one of the reasons he left is here he is, you know, this Midwestern guy from Ohio who didn't have a lot of travel in his life growing up, if any Kentucky, as we know, down in the Hala, but he goes out to San Francisco and he said, people are openly defecating on the streets. He's like, I got to get out of here. Like I, I can't survive in this. If this is San Francisco, I I'm out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So he comes back home and he started, you know, this sort of initiative where he was going to help people like him get out into the workforce and it never really went anywhere, but it always seemed like a placeholder to sort of rejigger the next step. Um, and he and Usha were just starting their children, their, their family. She was super pregnant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
That's why it's so insane when people are trying to say that he doesn't like women. It's like, what kind of a husband... who's very accomplished in his own right and went to Yale Law School and worked in Silicon Valley, would be that supportive of his very busy wife, who's pregnant with their child, who then is clerking on the Supreme Court. Obviously, he's a very evolved man.

Without the cheating and abuse. He's totally, yeah. He's just like Doug Emhoff. We have it, Deb? Oh, she's looking for it. Okay. When we have it, we'll drop it in for the listening audience. Okay. So that's That's J.D. Vance. I want to go back to Melania. I have to say it's a delight to see somebody who is incredibly stylish and sophisticated and classy resume this role. I am sick.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
of the vogues of the world, trying to make Corrie Jean-Pierre and her alleged style a thing. Jill Biden, who I grant you, you know, has been a lifetime partner to Joe Biden. I can't say good partner given that she allowed him to run for re-election, but prior to now, she seems like she was okay, to his infirmity, trying to make her into a fashion icon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Melania Trump, an actual supermodel who is about six foot four in this video we're watching now. Never in Vogue, never on the cover of Vogue. And man, just the elegance of that. My favorite thing, though, were like the memes about the hat. Because they were like, she's taking a list of all the enemies. She's under that hat, like, and you, and you, and you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And then people went wild because Trump, when he came out to be sworn in, tried to give her a kiss. Yes. And he couldn't get to her face. Or maybe he was just doing the polite thing that sometimes our men do or like you're all made up and they don't totally make contact. But here it is, that video. It's almost there. It's very tough. It was the hat. It was the makeup. But look at her, you guys.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986

Who wouldn't want to buy a dress from the designer who does Melania's clothing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Okay, so while we're on the subject of fashion, you knew that Lauren Sanchez was not going to make it through this show without a mention. She dresses like a prostitute. She looked like a hooker at the inauguration. She wore a corset and she had her boobs on display. I can't with this woman. The girls were out. Look at this. Look at this. I can see the middle of her boobs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
I can see her under boob, like right there. This is absurd. She couldn't even keep them covered up for a day. And all over at the X was a picture of Mark Zuckerberg sitting next to her. Sneaking a peek. He knew where the action was at. Sneaking a peek. I don't blame him at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
No one could believe it. It was the cheesiest thing ever. I'm sorry. It is. Plenty of people write about John Fetterman in his shorts, which is fine. I don't agree with that either. But how many people are going to write about her showing her breasts at the inauguration?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Can I tell you something? They're vicious because Jeff Bezos runs the Washington Post, owns it, and owns Amazon, of course. And I will tell you, this is not my first time saying she dresses like a hooker because she does. And we had to deal with some Hollywood PR firm. I can't remember who we were trying to get, but we tried to avoid those people, but sometimes you can't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And this PR agent went off. on our Booker. They're so angry because they represent her or they do some business with her and she had talked to that, whatever. It's like those two don't like to be made fun of. He's done a lot to change his look. He looks nothing like he looked 20 years ago. I don't think she's seen a doctor if she doesn't want to go under the scalp. I mean, you tell me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
That's not natural. No. And that's fine if that's your choice, but have some dignity and some respect for your setting in your circumstances. No one should be talking about your tits. Sorry. They should be talking about the inauguration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Think about it, because you look at, I mean, Melania Trump, she's got a breast. She's got... I tried to say she's not. Just say it, Megan. She's curvy. Okay. But look how she dresses. She's the epitome of class. She could wear that outfit and get even more attention if she wanted to. When she's not at the inauguration, she doesn't dress like that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
She does not run around showing off all the assets. Yes, back in the day, she took nude pictures. I know that. Trump is reportedly the one who leaked them to the New York Post. Yeah. Hell yeah. This is a long time ago before they were in presidential politics and it certainly wasn't at a presidential inauguration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
The right response, actually. Okay, so before we end, predictions for the next three weeks on what we're about to look at.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
That applies to the next four years.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
a law that's been duly passed by Congress and signed by the president by executive order. Like that's like, I am not against TikTok necessarily, but I don't think you can undo a duly passed law with an executive order.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We didn't talk about Biden declaring a new 28th amendment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
yeah oh right yeah that i don't want to hear equal now by tweet and then the american bar association and georgetown law celebrating it like it was real it's insane states have rescinded their support for the era like six of them have rescinded their support so it's like the most extra constitutional bullshit that you can imagine and yet there's yeah nobody cares There are only 27 amendments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
That's that. You cannot do a 28th amendment by tweet. And they better accept that or Trump's going to start doing it every day. Two genders and 28 amendments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And wait until you hear how exactly he did that, because now we have the executive orders and they're a thing of beauty. I know so many, so many people who have worked so hard for this moment were rejoicing on that portion of the speech. And when you read the executive actions that he took on that, it's just absolutely huge. Thank God he won.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
It's crazy. Okay. We'll end the show on this. Uh, my team did find the JD Vance exchange with yours truly. When I talked to them now, I guess it was, well, three, eight years ago. Just, it doesn't seem that long, but he looks so different. And in many ways he was so different. Certainly his life was to watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Why do you get uncomfortable when that idea comes up?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Never say never. That's our vice president. Crazy, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So different. He's grown up in a lot of ways. I had to say I'm wishing him all the best. I have been praying a lot for those two, for the cabinet members. I really hope the Senate does the right thing, gives Pete Hegseth a vote soon and doesn't let him twist in the wind and that Trump's nominees get in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
We have so much important business to do, and this is no time to jerk around in the Senate. He needs his full cabinet. We all know he's going to push his agenda through. If you guys don't want to vote for the nominees, you don't have to vote for them, but they deserve a vote. And we got to get going. This country overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump and they support his politics.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Even the polls that I just read, like the New York Times showed, they support his policies more than they support him personally. Either way, you can't get in the way. Stop getting in the way of those policies because the American people voted for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
So prayers up for the Trump family and the Vance family and for the country, which I feel like is on the right track for the first time in a long time. Thank you both so much. Dealing with the traffic. Just to get over here is like you can't move in D.C. right now. I don't know what's going to happen.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
All right, so here we got a little fashion info for you. Lippis, it is a guy named Adam Lippis. who designed that beautiful dress. It was a navy blue coat. And then the hat was by Eric Javits, another New York-based designer. Lippis is 52. He rose to prominence as a creative director for Oscar de la Renta, but since 2004 has his own company.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Oh my God. You know what? Why don't you take a look at your own party if you're looking for absence of diversity, okay? See what happened to the working class because they fled your party, Gayle King, in droves. And they're not coming back anytime soon, you elitist snob who's obsessed over people's melanin. Nobody in the Republican Party thinks like that.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
And by the way, there were plenty of people of color, both there and in the overflow room and and over at the Capitol Arena. And I saw them myself when I was there yesterday. So get over yourself. After his historic speech, Trump heading over to Capitol One Arena. And there, at this moment, he is addressing or about to supporters of all races.

Who better than this historic day to have Emily Jashinsky, DC correspondent for Unheard and host of Undercurrents, and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon and co-host of the podcast Ink Stained Wretches. Trust in media is at an all-time low, and let's be honest, it's not without reason.

We are all seeing how stories can be shaped or even buried depending on who's in charge. But there is a platform that doesn't play by those rules, one that prioritizes transparency and lets you see the full picture. That platform is Ground News, an app and website that gathers related articles from around the world in one place, highlighting each source's political bias and corporate influence.

He also used to design for Target, so good for her for getting a guy who is close to being a man of the people. Mr. Trump and Melania then took a brief visit over to the White House where President Biden was heard saying two words to President Trump. Welcome home. Good line.

I apologize for your half-lit face. It's just sort of we're here, and it's like we're dealing with the sun. It's nice to have some sun, but it's freaking cold outside. Yeah, it's freezing. Right? Oh, yeah. It's freezing. I mean, I don't know how they honestly could have done the inauguration outside.

President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Because it's one thing if you had to show up for one hour and stand there, but you had to get there... The orders to get there began at eight. So that's the latest you could have shown up at eight in the morning for a 12 o'clock ceremony. It would have been a nightmare.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
Yeah. I did feel bad, though, because, you know, while they fit 20,000 people into the Capital One Arena, they, like, that's nowhere near of the people who wanted to come watch this inauguration. You know, it would have been hundreds of thousands. And many had purchased their tickets. And the people who wind up not getting in are, like, the hardcore ranking file.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
You know what happened with us is we went to the Capitol Arena with Trump yesterday. And I spoke at his event there and saw much of the same cast of characters as came today. And my whole family went. We had a great time. We did not get invited to the inner inauguration, which is fine. That was for mostly his top, top surrogates and donors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
President Trump is Back, Major Executive Orders, and Biden's Last Minute Pardons, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 986
But they did invite us to go back to the Capitol Arena in a VIP thing. And we just said, you know what? You should give those tickets to somebody else. Because we had the whole day yesterday Let somebody else do it so we can get more like people who really, you know, regular people who don't have VIP access.

Do you guys know, did you ever watch Fox and Father? It's Lawrence Fox and Father Calvin Robinson. They're UK guys. They're awesome. They got unceremoniously canceled by GB News, which is supposed to be conservative, but in any event. So they were trying to get, I guess, to the Capitol Arena today and either couldn't or something happened.

This lovely little piece of jargon came just after Mr. Biden announced pardons for Dr. Fauci, the January 6th committee, General Mark Milley and many, many others to protect them from, quote, baseless abuse. and politically motivated investigations, because who would want to be the target of one of those?

So they wound up watching it with Kid Rock in his hotel room. A lot of those things have happened, you know, and people, you can hear the cheering. We saw it and our hotel room and you could hear the cheers when Trump was actually, when he took the oath of office, as soon as it was done, like all over the hotel room, down in the lobby, just people are feeling so jubilant.

Yeah, it's a turnoff. And you don't want to be associated with losers, like people who fought hard and fought well, but lost. That's one thing. But people who, as you say, appear like limp, like a limp party that's afraid and self-flagellating.

It's like, I don't that doesn't inspire me to put on the team jersey, even if, you know, these these voters who are answering these polls happen to be Democrats. When you look at, you know, their partisan leanings and their ideology. Here is a A man who got 1% in that poll asking who represents our party best, like who actually does stand for our values, 1% got this guy.

All right, so two men sensing an opportunity and clearly maneuvering to exploit it. That would be Gavin Newsom of California, who's now launched his podcast where he's having on conservative stalwarts. Well, Bannon says he's not a conservative. He's a populist. He's an America first populist. But Charlie Kirk is conservative. Those are two of his first two guests.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I have to say I'm really against this. Charlie's going to be on tomorrow. I'll talk to him about it. But I just think what's happening now,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
is he's training for 2028 against JD Vance and every conservative who goes on that podcast is helping him they're all helping him train I don't it's like training Drago instead of Rocky like why are you doing that you're training the wrong person this person actually doesn't respect you or your ideals you're not going to change his mind you're not going to change the minds of the people who listen to his show you're just going to help him so anyway that's my feeling on it but in any event
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I see what he's doing. He's trying to look like he's, you know, moderating toward the center. He's not quite as far left. He's hearing people out. He's taking more reasoned positions on things like boys and girls sports and so on. OK, that's what he's doing. And then there's Chris Murphy from my adopted home state of Connecticut, who is an absolute nobody about a year ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
But then he apparently fell in love with some hard left media person. wannabe executive who's backed by Soros. And she's helping him on his social media. I don't know when their relationship started. I'm just going to say he's still married. He says he separated from his wife in November. No one's filed for divorce.

And yet he's reportedly, according to Semaphore, in this relationship with this young hotshot female media person. In any event, his social media presence has certainly shot up. gotten better. And now he's suddenly gone from this milk toast. Oh, gee, golly gee willikers guy to fucking bad day, which he which he said the other day he tweeted out after the after the Chuck Schumer thing.

Let me just give you a before and after. This is just November. And here's a post that he made on Election Day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
OK, the name of the woman is Tara McGowan, the CEO of the left wing network of digital media sites known as Courier Newsroom. She's 39. He's 51. And now his social media presence, numbers and style have all changed dramatically. His ex post from Friday after Schumer caved is, hey, I just got home. Tough fucking day going live on Insta at whatever time. So what do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
OK, so this is very interesting what's happened to the Democrat Party. This morning on The New York Times is The Daily Podcast. They likened it to what happened with Republicans in 2009, 2010, after Barack Obama won in a sweeping victory and won all, you know, the House, the Senate and the White House. And the Tea Party was born. And, you know, health care was shoved down our throats.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
It's totally cringy. That's exactly right. As the audience knows, and you know, I'm not above swearing myself, but it has to be authentic to you. I come by it very honestly. I come from a long line of foul-mouthed people. No, my Nana, my mom's mom, she swore like a sailor. And passed it down to me. It skipped a generation because my mom doesn't really do it and doesn't love when I do it either.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
But it has to be authentic to you, you know, or you just sound kind of sad and pathetic and like a glommer, like a wannabe. There is a question of whether he if Chris Murphy is not going to be the answer to 2028 and the Democrats problem, maybe he'll be the answer to the Schumer problem, which is a much easier answer. substitution, right? Like Schumer's 200 years old.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And as you say, represents this wing of the party that's really anachronistic and kind of just young people in general are over the Mitch McConnell's and the Chuck Schumer's of the world. Chris Murphy at least has the advantage of relative youth at 51. And this came up when he was on Meet the Press yesterday. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
So that there's another like that's been the message for the past few days. We may not have a democracy soon. Jasmine Crockett was saying it to like, I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to vote again. Like the Democrats need to do something drastic right now or we're going to lose the country. I mean, I don't agree with that in any way, shape or form.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
But I I actually think that message is going to resonate with the blue base. What do you think?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And the Republicans just wanted one thing, which was to fight the finds some way to fight these guys. And they were likening that to what we're seeing now with Dems. Here are the numbers according to the polls we saw over the weekend. First, there's CNN saying that, okay, let's see.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
No. So you mentioned Joe Rogan and there has been this sort of weird panic on the left and our own Joe Rogan. Of course, the irony being Joe Rogan was there. Joe Rogan, he was of the left. He was a Bernie supporter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
They drove him out of the party with their insanity, their woke insanity, the lies about covid, the crackdowns on Joe for his truths about covid, all sorts of things, you know, that drove a lot of us further to the right. including Rogan. But the answer to their absence now of Joe Rogan in their party does not appear to be Michelle Obama. So far, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
She got no percentages whatsoever as the leader of the party, which is interesting because Think of all the buzz around her when we thought Joe had to step down after that June debate. He's got to go. Could it be Kamala? Well, she's not going to win. What about Michelle? Oh, would she do it? She was one of the main names, if not the main name mentioned. But now nobody sees her as a party leader.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And apparently Michelle Obama does not see herself as a party leader. a party leader because when she talks about like her time in the white house, Barack running, it's all negative on this new podcast. I mean, it's exactly what we thought that she, it's very clear. She hated being a first lady. She hated being in Washington. She doesn't like the fact that Barack was president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I mean, she just has nothing but negative things to say. Here's just one small, she doesn't, she doesn't like openly get, you know, caustic But she makes it pretty clear that this has never been a good idea in her mind. Here's Sot 15 with her and her brother, Craig, who's her co-host.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
The Democratic Party's favorability rating stands at just 29%, a record low dating back to 1992, and a drop of 20 points In just four years since January of 2021, a drop of 20 points and a record low at 29 percent. We saw similar numbers out of NBC. So it's not a one off. NBC shows the Democratic Party with just a 27 percent positive rating.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
There's a lot in there, Glenn. That does not sound like somebody who is in favor of his run for president or frankly in favor of him. Like he was smart and ambitious. Think about if that's how like that's why you thought that your spouse was going to run for and possibly become president. I mean, he's smart. He's ambitious. None of what Barack Obama actually ran on. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I want to change the world. I want to heal the country. Hope and change what like she wasn't buying it. And it doesn't sound like she buys it to this day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I know. And she's also out on David Geffen's yacht with Oprah. And then, yeah, her memoir was named Becoming. Look how, look at me, Becoming with her big face on the front. Like, okay, you know, she's a little drunk on her own wine, but not on Barack's, which is just interesting to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
At this point, after having been first lady twice, thanks to him, let's face it, Michelle Obama was not some star in her own right. She was a lawyer, I think at Sidley and Austin in Chicago. which is fine. It's fine. It's no great shakes. I've been in Chicago. I've practiced law there for many years. So it's fine. It's fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
So she took her Harvard law degree and like got a job with a corporate law firm. Fine. Literally nobody would have known her name if that's how she had chosen to spend her life. We know who she is because of him, because he became president. He was a character and had a lot of, there were a lot of reasons behind his election, but she still, to me, sounds bad. bitter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And even knowing that divorce rumors and she's not showing up for him, whether it's at the Jimmy Carter funeral or the Trump inauguration basketball game he just went to in LA when visiting their daughters and then dinner with the daughters was not there. Here she is talking about it. If it were me, I would say something nice about him. I would say like, He's just so charming. It was meant to be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I knew he could heal the earth in the way he did. There was only one who could do it, and it was my husband, Barack Obama, whatever. Then she gets on to talking a little bit about him personally, and this is how that sounded. Plot 18.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
uh... fifty five percent negative so they're underwater by twenty eight points a record low for the democrat party in more than thirty years of polling Why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
So can I just say, she stole that from a comedian who's all over Instagram. That little bit is all over Instagram. Forgive me, I can't remember the guy's name, but he does this whole bit about how he goes, he goes golfing with a guy whose wife just died and he comes home and the wife's like, how's he doing? Fine. well, he knows nothing, right? It's like a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
So I don't even know if that's real, but my point is simply that to me, none of the clips, cause we have 10 of them. I'm not going to go through all of them. Sound to me like a person who looks at the husband with any sort of stars in the eyes still. And it is possible. It is possible decades into marriage. I can attest to that to still have stars in your eyes for your loved one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Right. Right. Well, that's to me what she embodies. She's constantly negative and full of grievance, notwithstanding the enormous riches that this country has rained down on her. This country has done nothing to her other than treat her, as you point out, like royalty.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Even though she said this is the first time in my adult life I'm actually proud of my country when when he got either nominated or elected, whichever doesn't make a difference. First time ever, really, this country where you got you went to Princeton, you went to Harvard Law School, you wound up a successful lawyer. You never found a way to be proud of your country before that? OK.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And ever since has been bitching about her life on the yachts and in the multimillion dollar home in Martha's Vineyard and the homes in Hawaii and Chicago and D.C. and the still controlling the levers of power and going up as the star speaker at the DNC. She's still bitter. Check back in. Still bitter. OK, we're still not over it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
There's no amount of money or political power or success or number of memoirs called Becoming. Maybe we should just say it. Beautiful, stunning. That'll be the next for the follow-up. That's going to make this woman less bitter. I think it's who she is. And honestly, like this podcast...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Now it's getting, I don't know, the second episode had 14,000 views where she had Issa Rae on there, 14,000 views a couple of days into it. I realize she's just getting started, but that's embarrassing for the former first lady, for the woman who was almost president being talked about as to step into the Joe Biden shoes. And so something's happening.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I think with the Barack Obama at 4%, Michelle Obama not even on the list, and this podcast struggling to put real numbers on the board, I think the Democrat Party is over the Obamas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Exactly. I'll give you one more soundbite of Michelle with brother Craig and why they wanted to do this podcast. Stop 14.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Because they lived in a small apartment, you see. Now, this is why Brother Craig is the co-host of this podcast, which let's face it, No one cares about brother Craig. We don't know brother Craig. If she were doing this with Barack, she might actually get some numbers on the board or with one of the daughters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You know, I think people are mildly interested in the daughters, but brother Craig, I'm sorry. We don't know him. No, don't care that you were physically close, whatever that means under a roof growing up. Um, I, I just feel like, look, maybe this is the new Joe Rogan thing. Maybe she too, like Chris Murphy dropping a fucking tough day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And this is Michelle Obama trying to be like her authentic self to be the new Rogan Glenn. But to me, the whole thing is just evidence of, you know, Democrats untethered, right? Like not understanding the way forward and just kind of throw the board. I'll give you the last word before we go to break.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Talk about something that matters to the rest of us. Like, talk about the news. Talk about policy. Talk about something that matters to other people. By the way, it's very interesting. Without her speechwriters, she's a shadow of the woman we saw on stage at the DNC and elsewhere where she gives these. rousing speeches. She knows how to deliver it. She pauses it right, just the right moment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
When it's just her, it's very flat. Okay, Glenn stands by. He stays with us. We'll get into Mahmoud Khalil, on which Glenn and I disagree, so that ought to be interesting, and much, much more. The New York Times actually speaking the truth now on COVID without acknowledging all of their falsehoods on the matter for years.

We just sort of covered the Dems on Team Red and what Donald Trump is doing. The most recent legal controversy is not Mahmoud Khalil, which we'll get to, but these deportations of alleged gang members from Venezuela. So Trump and Tom Homan and Kristi Noem got some 250 or so deportations.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
alleged gang leaders onto a plane to be deported to El Salvador because the president of El Salvador has agreed to take them. We were paying him some six million dollars and he's agreed to take these folks, which most I think Americans would say, cool, great, too. But Not not these particular people, because they filed a legal challenge and said, you can't deport us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
We are challenging your deploying the, quote, alien enemies act. against us. So what happened was Trump signed a proclamation to deploy this thing. It's from 1798. It's been deployed for the first time since World War II to remove these alleged gang members. It's only been used three times before to bar citizens of hostile enemy governments from the United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And only during a declared war, Trump alleged that this gang is conducting irregular warfare against the U.S., Um, he's declared them a terrorist organization, them in the court and the cartels. And he's also claimed that they've conducted an invasion against the United States and therefore says he can deport them without really doing anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You can just stick them on planes and send them out of the United States. So that is what has happened. Then they went into court, the ACLU and this group representing them democracy forward filed a lawsuit on behalf of, uh, these alleged gang members at 2 AM on Saturday, uh, and saying, you can't do this, you don't have the authority.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And a judge, this judge, James Boasberg, chief judge in the District of Columbia, appointed by Barack Obama, sided with the plaintiffs saying, you cannot do this. And as he heard that there were three flights departing, like at that moment or within moments, to take these immigrants to El Salvador, he said, you have to stop it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You have to immediately halt the removals and return the flights to the United States, any flights that are in the air. My head is going to explode. This is so beyond the pale that he does not have this authority. This is absolutely outrageous in my view. But
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And the Trump administration said, I got a whole lot for you, which is giving you the Italian sign under the chin for no, to put it politely. The flights have already left U.S. airspace. They're in international airspace, though there's a dispute about, in particular, whether the third flight had, in fact, already left U.S. airspace. The first two look like they actually had.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
In any event, then the president of El Salvador posted a picture of these now prisoners coming into his jail saying, Oopsie. Too late to this judge. And as I review this Alien Enemies Act, Glenn, there's been it's old, but there's Supreme Court precedent on it saying there is no right for judicial review for good reason, because they do not wish the president's.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
in this particular department when it comes to wartime powers to be reviewable by a court. And the high court said pretty explicitly, well, we know that that will lead to some bad decisions or some bad results. We don't care. They wrote as follows. The Alien Enemy Act precludes judicial review of removal orders. This is years after World War II had ended, they wrote, in a case.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Such great war powers may be abused, no doubt, but that is a bad reason for having judges supervise their exercise, whatever the legal formulas within which such supervision would nominally be confined. Accordingly, we hold that full responsibility for the just exercise of this great power may validly be left where the Congress has constitutionally placed it on the president of the United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Not only did this guy review what Trump did, he's calling back flights of alleged gang members to the United States. To me, it's extraordinary. Your thoughts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Congress. Congress would have to impeach him. That's the way it works. If the judge doesn't have the purview to step in, as the Supreme Court has made it clear, they do not. They do not. Not in this department. Then the remedy is impeachment against the president. That's the way the separations of powers work.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Well, that's different, but that's different. That's different because this, as I understand it, the reason that this was given the sort of no judicial review blessing is because it speaks to foreign policy during a time of war. So that's when the president's foreign power... foreign policy powers are at their peak and not reviewable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
A judge cannot review President Trump saying, I'm going to bomb the Houthis or we're at war with Iran or whomever. That's not reviewable by Article 3 judges. And there are limits to the separations of powers and where a president can be checked. And when it comes to foreign policy, he's at the apex of his independent power.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I agree with you on the term war. I agree with you on the term war, but he's also declared it an invasion. And that's really what's going on here. I mean, he declared this an invasion, given the fact that we had between 10 and 20 million illegals come in under Joe Biden. And that's I mean, that's covered in the Alien Enemies Act invasions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And he's using that declaration to say, you're out and I'm not going to cross T's and dot I's. I'm putting you on a plane. And it's not like they don't know anything about these guys. Today, they put out the numbers. 261 were sent to El Salvador. El Salvador, 137 were deported under this act. Um, they know who these guys are. They, I like the government is saying these are gang members.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Right. What are you going to do? And that that is actually also reflected in the CNN poll because they asked, name the Democratic leader you feel best reflects the core values of the party. And this is among Democratic aligned adults. The largest recipient of votes was no one. 30% said no one, no one best reflects the core values of the Democrat Party.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I say alleged cause I have no idea, but the government is saying we've done our homework. Tom Homan is saying, and they're one definitely illegals and two members of against criminal gangs that we've declared terrorist organizations. So there's a few things. They're alleged terrorists. They're allegedly part of this war, and they're allegedly part of this invasion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I just think there's no question that Trump is going to be upheld here. He has the power to do this. And I actually think this judge could be in serious trouble. I actually think this judge may get admonished by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and if not by them, then by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Get out. That's my feeling.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
That's the difference to anybody who will take you. If you can go to Canada, go to Canada. So just stay out of the United States. That's all I care about. Like, don't come here illegally or you could wind up on a midnight flight to El Salvador. It's not going to end well for you. And if Tom Holman has reason to believe you're part of Trenda Aragua, so much the worse for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Like, don't do anything that's going to make Tom Holman think that because it got so out of control under Joe Biden that we're now at this point. Invasion, extraordinary powers, flight, you're gone. And federal judges are losing their minds. OK, which brings us to Mahmoud Khalil. So The audience, I think, knows my stance on this because I did a weekend podcast.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
If not, the short stance is I believe the government has every right to deport him, notwithstanding the fact that he's a green card holder and married to an American, which is really kind of an irrelevance legally. But the green card is not an irrelevance. And he's deportable under several different statutes. He's done a number of things that can get him deported.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I think some of his speech is grounds enough, but he's actually behaved. First of all, first of all,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
The next in line with just 10% was AOC, who's just about tied with Kamala Harris at 9%. Bernie Sanders at 8%. These are all bad numbers. These are clearly not the party leaders if you're only getting 9% or 10%. But interestingly... Coming in at 4% is Barack Obama, who is tied with Jasmine Crockett.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
That's one thing. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Very aligned with Hamas. You can't you can't deny that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Even Joe Biden cut ties with UNRWA because it was working with Hamas post 10-7. Even the Democrats did that. This is not a partisan position.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
To some extent, I agree with that. But we're getting sidetracked because even though the guy worked for UNRWA, which I do believe is working for Hamas, that's we can we can table that. We can put that to the side. I don't think there's any question this guy supports what Hamas did on 10-7. Any question whatsoever. He was wearing a shirt. First of all, he worked for UNRWA.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Second of all, he referred to it as armed resistance, what the Palestinians did. He said that. It's on tape that we aired it on the show on Saturday. That's not arms resistance. That's terrorism, what happened on 10-7. But you don't need any of that. I'll give away all that, what I just said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Let's just look at what he did as the spokesperson for this group, Columbia University Apartheid... I can't remember the acronym, but it's, you know, the group. C-U-A-D, I think it was, Divest. And he served as their spokesperson. That was the group that took over Hamilton Hall and engaged in the encampments on Columbia University.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Hamilton Hall alone had so many crimes we could spend all day talking about. Was Khalil there? He was... Not that we know of. We don't believe he was there, but he was the chief negotiator. No, it matters when you're the spokesperson that's literally written into the immigration and the terrorism statutes. If you are the spokesperson for a group that espouses or supports terror, you're out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
That's all they have to prove. Spokesperson is enough. And he was a spokesperson by every account that you hear of his behavior. He was going in there daily to speak with Columbia University administrators saying, this is what we need. You need to divest entirely from Israel or you're going to get more Hamilton Halls. That's it. That's all we need to deport him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Yes, Jasmine Crockett, who nobody ever even heard of six months ago, but is out there doing her like dancing videos and trying to be like a new version of AOC. But unbelievably, Obama and Jasmine Crockett are tied for who best reflects the core values of the party, which tells us what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
But a lot of the ones who show up are like Jewish Voices for Peace, which is as Hamas supported.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Let's not pretend that they represent the dominant Jewish voice on the issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Inside the encampment, Glenn, you're talking like inside the encampment. So, yes, he would go and participate in this probably Jewish Voices for Peace Shabbat dinner, which, again, they're hard partisan Hamas supporters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
While he was stopping, while this group that he was affiliated with was stopping Jews from attending the buildings they wanted to attend, crossing campus when they wanted to cross campus, professors, too. Like, I'm sure I'm super glad he had Shabbat dinner while he was stopping Jews from exercising their rights on the campus.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Yes, you can.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You 100% can when you're talking about terror and immigration. We're talking about apples and oranges. That's a very different thing. You can't charge somebody with crime by thought or by affiliation unless it's an actual conspiracy. But we don't have to prove that he committed a crime. We don't have to prove that. Although I believe he probably did if he's the spokesperson for this group.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
then you could prove you could allege extortion. You could allege conspiracy. Now, Alvin Bragg is unlikely to do that, but that doesn't mean crimes haven't been committed by this guy. We'll have to see where the evidence goes. They're looking into that right now, including the DOJ. But you don't have to prove a crime. It's enough that he did it. If he if he
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
did these things, if he acted as a spokesperson for this group that did commit crimes on the campus of Columbia, he's out. You can get him out under numerous provisions under immigration law for criminality, for supporting terror, for espousing terror, and then ultimately for the Marco Rubio Secretary of State thing that says if you're a threat to foreign policy, you're gone.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You don't have to prove anything other than Marco Rubio reasonably believes that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
It Okay. There's nothing unreasonable about saying being the spokesperson for an on-campus terror group means you violated your terms of staying here and your green card is getting revoked.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
They were demanding that Colombia divest. They were demanding that Colombia... Exactly, but that's not a Hamas.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
The American students... The American students cannot be deported for having done that. But someone here on a green card can be. If they had... Trump is not running around trying to deport people who protested on behalf of the Palestinians in Dearborn, Michigan, without committing crimes. He is not doing that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
The reason this guy... And he's not going to, Glenn. Let's be honest. The reason this guy got caught in the crosshairs is because they unleashed hell on that Columbia campus. They behaved criminally. His group, of which he was a spokesman, whom he was defending and making demands on behalf of in dealing with the university daily. That's why he's getting deported, not because he's pro-Palestinian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
To try and depict him as a Hamas supporter, that is... Yeah, no, he does look like a Hamas supporter to me. Of that, I have very little doubt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I'm not talking about his appearance. I'm talking about the T-shirt, which has some guy with the head exploding and his behavior at... which is basically an arm of Hamas. Just ask Joe Biden. That's why we pulled our support. There is evidence that he's a Hamas supporter, but I don't have to prove that. So it's pointless to spend too much time here. We have deprived somebody.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
We've pulled somebody's green card because he has schizophrenia. Tell me we can pull people's green cards for things like that, for violating the terms of their visa. We've put we say, you know what? You violated the terms that we gave you the permission to stay here. So so it's over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
But we can't pull it for somebody who's the spokesperson for a group that's banging down the doors, that's smashing windows with hammers, that's intimidating Jewish students on campus. That's a farce. Marco Rubio can do it. Pam Bondi can do it. President Trump can do it. You can do it whether he's committed a crime or whether he hasn't, whether he's just engaged in these behaviors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And by the way, just because he wasn't charged, Alvin Bragg doesn't mean he did not commit extortion or conspiracy, even though hundreds and hundreds.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Not even the Trump administration is saying that would not have been. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're misstating it. A conspirator would not have been in Hamilton Hall necessarily. The conspirator may have been. He wasn't in Hamilton Hall, Megan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I that's my understanding. I've already said that. I've already said that. I've already said that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
Why are you arguing with me? I already gave you this point. I already gave you this point. It's pointless for us to keep going back and forth. What I'm saying is that, of course, the cops wouldn't have arrested him. He was the negotiator. He was the spokesperson. He was the one in there with Columbia saying, sure is a nice university you have here. Shame if anything happened to it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
You could charge conspiracy. You could charge extortion. Whether it's been done or not is irrelevant. He violated the terms of his permission slip to be here, and he can be deported for that alone. Never mind whether he actually crossed a criminal line, actually espoused or supported terrorism.

Listen to Alan Dershowitz. He's... Alan Dershowitz goes off about this group every other day, what they've done to him, how they targeted him. Look, it's don't say like, oh, well, they're Jewish voices and they're against and they're in favor of Mahmoud Khalil. If they're Jewish voices for peace, they're totally unpersuasive to me. They they've got a dog in this hunt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
We've seen that repeatedly with that group. It's fine. He doesn't. I do think he's a Hamas supporter. One hundred percent. I believe that. But it's not necessary to my argument if he associates with terror. If he poses a threat to the United States, either or, he can be deported. If he endorses or espouses terrorist activity, he can be deported.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
If he violates the term of his visa, he can be deported. Or if the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to believe that he poses a serious adverse foreign policy consequence to the United States, he can be deported. He's done. He's out. This is not going to work out well for him. And his hopes of becoming an American citizen are over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I'm going to give you a point on our earlier discussion about the trend to Aragua, alleged gang members being deported, because I did ask my team, like, what happens to them when they go to El Salvador, which is, I confess, a question I had not asked myself. And here's what the Associated Press is reporting, that the El Salvadorian justice minister has said that those held at this facility were
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
will never return to their communities, but will only be held for a period of one year, but it's renewable. So, you know, if you're going down the lane of they may not be guilty, I concede this is potentially problematic with the justice that they'll be facing on the other end. But I stand by the fact that Trump had the right to do it in any event. But I concede that

There's some problems there on the due process and over in El Salvador. What a shock. Okay, let's move on because we have problems of our own here in the United States and they relate to the New York Times in many ways. But here's today's way. Unbelievably, unbelievably, the New York Times comes out with a piece dated yesterday, March 16th, by opinion columnist Zeynep Tufekci.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives. We were badly misled. Somebody online changed it to we badly misled you about the event that changed our lives. And that's a much more accurate headline from the New York Times. Glenn, this is so infuriating to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
the whole thing is about stuff you've known your audience has known me and mine too and and most people who have been independent thinkers or certainly as part of right-wing media people who listen to rumble oh we've known this for years since 2021 but here they are 2025 with an ah aha moment on the lab leak as the origin of COVID and how those in charge misled us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
I'll just give you a couple of highlights from the piece and then let you take it. She starts by pointing out in 2020, when people started speculating about a lab accident being the spark behind the pandemic, they were treated like kooks and cranks. By whom, again? Zeynep? Who is treating them like kooks and cranks? Could it have been the New York Times? Anyway, okay.

Many public health officials and prominent scientists dismissed the idea as a conspiracy theory, insisting the virus had emerged from animals. And when EcoHealth Alliance lost a grant because it was doing this so-called gain-of-function research, no fewer than 77 Nobel laureates and 31 scientific societies lined up to defend the organization.

So the Wuhan research was totally safe and the pandemic was definitely caused by natural transition. It certainly seemed like consensus. We have since learned, however, that to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled scientists.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
at least one reporter, she's speaking of Don McGann, who worked for the New York Times, orchestrated campaigns of supposedly independent voices and even compared notes about how to hide their communications. The reason she wants us to know that it was probably a lab leak and that we were so grossly misled is because she
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
People need convincing that the next pandemic is only an accident away, basically now that RFKJ is in charge of HHS and she's seeing like measles and other problems that she cares about. So she really, really wants us to trust our public health entities again.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Not him, but like the scientists and the Nobel laureates and the Dr. Fauci's of the world, because they must have credibility in the wake of all these online influencers or bad faith actors who she later refers to as follows. And I think she means you and me and others like us. Some of the loudest proponents of the lab leak theory weren't just earnestly making inquiries.

They were acting in terrible faith, using the debate over pandemic origins to attack legitimate, beneficial science, to inflame public opinion, to get attention. She goes on to say these have truths and strategic deceptions made it easier for people with the worst motives to appear trustworthy while discrediting important institutions where many earnestly labor in the public interest.

Patrick's Day. I'm sure we'll be celebrating later. Meanwhile, they're not celebrating over on Team Blue because the tensions on that side of the aisle, as I said, are rising and quickly. By the day, there's like there's a civil war happening right now within the Democratic Party. And there are calls to oust longtime Senate leader Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer, what? He was untouchable.

And it's so belated. I mean, even other mainstream news organizations have published this kind of piece years earlier. Like, they are literally the last to the party. And now they want credit for saying, oh, we were misled. We had no idea. And you mentioned The Times' own past sins. Apoorva Mandevelli, who is, she's their COVID reporter.

She replaced that guy, Don, I think his last name is McGann, if memory serves. In any event, she replaced him. McNeil, sorry, I think McGann might have been a White House lawyer. Anyway, she's their COVID reporter. In 2021, not only did she dismiss the possibility that this thing came from a lab, but she claimed to say otherwise was racist.

They're not afraid. Limp is a rough word, but I think you're right. It applies. That is kind of how you feel when you look at the Democrats today. OK, so let's get to the point that you made. You're exactly right. Both of these polls, CNN and NBC, seem to try to get at why. Why are the Democrats so unhappy? And it is not because Team Blue refuses to compromise with Trump, who has a mandate and

That's it. I mean, you read this piece and it's just, it's so infuriating. And she writes, only an honest conversation will lead us forward. Right. So you need to get honest, New York Times, about your role in all of this. And this piece doesn't even come close. At no point, it doesn't acknowledge any of its own bad reporting or mistakes.

I mean, the number of, I just went, I just did like a quick search of New York Times pieces. This one is from Hold on. July of 2023. By this point, we had plenty of reason. We already knew about the conspiracy behind that Lancet piece and the other Nature piece and the collaboration amongst Fauci and these virologists to say it's definitely not the lab leak. We already knew.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
We knew about that a year plus earlier. But in July of 2023... Once again, they're saying, oh, two virologists testified that they remain convinced that the coronavirus was natural in origin and said Fauci did not exert influence over a study they wrote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And they're completely on the side of those virologists trying to tell us that this originated not in a lab, but in nature, just like Fauci maintained. Glenn, it's always a pleasure. I was a little spicy today, but it's great to disagree. And I love that our audience gets to hear your POV.

I'm going to stay for a minute on this New York Times thing. Okay, I've just got to talk to you about this for a minute because my blood is boiling over this. I'm so angry. Of course, it wasn't the New York Times. It wasn't only the New York Times. The Post has got a great piece from last June, I think it was, where they just ripped these folks to shreds because they are too.

A New York Times writer was blaming partisan politics. for the lab leak cover-up. There was a piece by an op-ed person back then. They ran a molecular biologist essay, Alina Chan, back then, talking about this. So this person blamed partisan politics for covering up that this was a lab leak. And the post pointed out at the time, it wasn't just New York Times. It was CNN. It was MSNBC.

They called the lab leak a debunked conspiracy theory. NPR falsely asserted, quote, scientists debunk lab accident theory of pandemic emergence. Reading here from the New York Post again, June of 24, social media companies outright censored lab leak claims. Facebook banned a post opinion column by Stephen Mosier for speculating on the possibility that it was a lab leak.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
They write as recently as Monday, again, in June of 24. An AP story bizarrely claimed, quote, many scientists believe the virus most likely emerged in nature, end quote. There's no scientific information backing the lab leak explanation. It's just... It's unbelievable how we were gaslit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And the New York Times wants to pretend that it was just the experts, it 100% was the experts, but that the media had no role, that they were not complicit. But they were fully complicit. And Glenn's exactly right. Now they're desperate to try to cleanse their own hands because they need to have credibility going into the Trump years, especially under the awful, evil RFKJ.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
to tell you when our leaders are misleading us. That's what's happening here. It's infuriating. They have no credibility. No one believes them anymore.

I believe it will resurrect, but it's going to take some time. And by the way, the election of President Trump was a middle finger to all these institutes, too. In part, it was America saying, F you and what you did to us.

And I went back just to see, it was June of 21 that we had on our show, Josh Rogan, who worked at the Washington Post, did work at the Washington Post and does, that's fine. To their credit, they employ Josh. But he wrote a book on his own that took a dive into this.

So so the majority want that. In just 2017, when Trump began his first term, 74 percent. of the Dems thought the Dems should work with Republicans. Okay, now it's only 42% who want Dems to work with Republicans. And just doing the math, it must be somewhere over, you know, 50, 58% who say fight, stop the GOP agenda.

And he did some articles in the Post also raising questions about whether this was from a lab and the Wuhan lab and how secure it was and the so-called bat lady there and how she was working with EcoHealth Alliance, which was U.S. government-funded, on gain-of-function research, which is the very same kind of research that caused the coronavirus. And we had him on in June of 21, you guys.

It was one year into the pandemic. Now we're four years post that. And the New York Times is like, oh. We think it was from a lab. We were being misled. How did that happen? How are we so misled? How did all these experts mislead us on EcoHealth Alliance? It's just willful blindness at best on their part.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
More than likely, it was an active cover-up because they had a vested interest in the messages that were being handed down. They were pro-cover, a pro-lockdown. They were pro these over-the-top so-called health procedures, and they didn't want anything undermining the message.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And just like this accidentally happening, you know, could accidentally happen to anyone, anywhere, worked with their narrative. And plus, they couldn't have their experts undermined at any part of the message. If Fauci was wrong about this being a naturally caused virus, then he could be wrong about masks. He could be wrong about distancing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
He could be wrong about lockdowns and school closures, right? He needed to be upheld at all costs. And by the way, she doesn't even fucking mention Fauci in her piece. She mentions Francis Collins, but she keeps Fauci's... fingers squeaky clean, which they're definitely not. All the stuff she mentioned with Francis Collins, Fauci did too. And that's not my opinion. Go back and look.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
He can come sue me if I'm saying the wrong thing. He is also outed in the Francis Collins emails that Republicans got their hands on in 2022. that showed all this coordination with the virologist behind the scenes. They both were in there trying to get them to not say lab leak. That was outed by Republicans in 2022. It was January of 2022 after the Republicans found those emails.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
They had taken over control of the House. They demanded all these emails. And then they released them. That we knew all of this for sure. And I did a talking points memo. Steve, find me the number of that episode if you have time. Um, you can go back and look at it. It was one of the best pieces we ever did on the show. one of the absolute best.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And it, it lays out exactly how they did it, how they whitewashed lab leak right out of the conversation or tried how they pressured these virologists who, who the early signs from all of them and emails were saying, Holy shit, this, this looks like lab leak that we manipulated this thing in the lab. I cannot get past it into definitely not a lab lab leak theories, racist. It was natural origin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
It was all there in the emails, black and white. January 2022, that's three years ago, New York Times. Where was your peace then? You spent the next three years doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on natural origin. They're so dishonest. And now she wants credit for being the one to speak truth to power and kind of own it. how they'd been misled. Oh my God, what a lie.

She doesn't even go over the times of sins. Even to say we were mistaken, we were misled. Episode 241, if you want to watch it, here's a sample of our broadcast in January. I think it was January 14th, 2022. House Republicans finally got their hands on emails between doctors Fauci, Collins, and some of the world's top virologists.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
It turns out the very officials who dismissed that as a fringe conspiracy theory in the press were being told exactly the opposite by the world's top experts as early as February 2020. They had studied the virus's genetic makeup. you see, and found the insertion of a genetic sequence that makes a virus more transmissible, a furin cleavage site.

52% of Democratic-aligned adults say the Democratic Party is taking the wrong direction with the Republican Party.

One of those scientists on that call with Fauci and Collins, a Brit, Sir Jeremy Farrar, sent a follow-up email to Collins and Fauci the next day, expressing support for the lab leak theory. He relayed the thoughts of two more experts, Robert Gehry of Tulane University and Michael Farzen of the Scripps Research Institute. Robert Gehry, he said, can't think of a plausible natural scenario.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
And Farzan was, quote, bothered by the fear in sight and having a hard time explaining that outside the lab. Christian Andersen of the Scripps Research Institute put the lab leak theory at 60 to 70 percent likely. Two days after those scientists went to Collins and Fauci and told them this thing likely came from a lab, five of them authored a paper. They did a complete 180.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
concluding that this virus was clearly, quote, that's a quote, clearly not from a lab and clearly not manipulated by man. Fauci wanted the lab leak theory gone. He later called it a shiny object, reassuring colleagues it would go away. Fauci was behind much of the U.S. funding in China. He admitted approving grants for EcoHealth Alliance, a group that researched coronaviruses in the Wuhan lab.

EcoHealth's CEO, Peter Daszak, was one of the first to beg officials to reject the lab leak theory. And tellingly, he warned that the public release of the virus's genetic sequencing would bring, quote, very unwelcome attention. We laid it all out for you guys. January 2022.

I'm sorry, but this is just such a dereliction. All the stuff. You heard me talking back then about Jeremy Farrar. Here she is in her piece. Spooked, the authors reached out for advice to Jeremy Farrar, now the chief scientist at the World Health Organization. Farrar reviewed their draft and suggested to the authors that they rule out the lab leak even more directly. They complied.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
She talks about Christian Andersen, who you heard me mention there, and how he wrote internally in these Slack messages between them.

All the same names. Peter Daszak, who you heard me mention there.

She finally has gotten around to all of them. Three years after this was known, thanks to those House Republicans who got their hands on the emails, who I'm sure she just totally ignored as what some of these terrible influencers acting, quote, in terrible faith, using the debate over pandemic origins to attack legitimate beneficial science to inflame public opinion.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
That's her just trying to justify why they they didn't do any of this. She writes, that's also why it might be tempting for these officials or the organizations they represent to avoid looking too closely at mistakes they made, at the ways that while trying to do such a hard job, they might have withheld relevant information and even misled the public.

Okay, look at her still bending over backward to run cover for these people who 100% actively misled us. Fauci is a villain. He's a villain. What sparked Bobby Kennedy's resurrection from the disinformation dozen leader to the health secretary right now? It was his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, again, who she still doesn't mention when she's going over the list of people who misled us.

Even Francis Collins just gets barely a passing mention. It was Fauci. It was Francis Collins. It was the CDC. It was all these virologists who were being controlled by Collins and Fauci. Those are the villains. Still, the New York Times won't admit it. Still, they run cover. She mentions Robert Gary. He's also, I think, referenced in this piece. We had him on this show in 2022.

We were stunned he agreed to come on, quite frankly. And here's a bit of how that went. But forgive me, wasn't it just days, wasn't it just two days later that you reversed yourself and said, actually, no, okay, I forget what I said about it coming from a lab.

Just 32% want them to make legislative compromises with Trump. It was almost exactly the opposite in April of 2017. 59% of Dems said they wanted to make compromises with Trump. Again, now 65% say no, no compromises, which leads us, to Chuck Schumer, whose behavior was somewhat ill-timed.

That, too, is a spicy interview where I really pressed him on his sudden reversal and how much influence Fauci and Collins had over him. It's all spelled out now. I mean, literally, Fauci, I think, has one mention in this piece. One. It's just, it's really infuriating. And look, as Glenn said, it is, this isn't like some long infomercial for independent media.

Dem Party Imploding, Michelle Obama's Failing Podcast, and Debating Khalil Deportation, with Glenn Greenwald | Ep. 1028
It's just the facts of why nobody trusts the New York Times or CNN or MSNBC anymore. They failed us at one of the most consequential moments in U.S. history. They failed us. And instead of doing a true mea culpa, like a true, we screwed it up and we're sorry. They just now want to say we were misled. Look, I like Jake Tapper. We're friendly. But he he did something similar.

He could have come out with that book and said, I want to own all my own mistakes, my own failure to question the lies being pushed on us by officials at the White House about Joe Biden's health. But instead, he just tried to join on with the we were misled crowd. I was you know, I was one of the innocent without acknowledging. And I misled you. I misled you.

When whole swaths of other media got it, they happened to be right of center or independent who got the issue with Joe Biden's health because we could see it with our own eyes, who got that this thing likely came from the Wuhan lab where they were studying that coronaviruses and how to make them more dangerous to humans.

And by the way, in Chuck Schumer's defense, the reason he and some eight other Democrats decided to vote for the continuing resolution is they were worried that if the government shut down and the government workers got divvied up into essential and non-essential workers, which is what happens, the essential ones have to keep working even though there's a shutdown, that it would be like a

as long as it doesn't reach this extremely high standard. And that high standard is it has to be malice. And what is said with malice? And what does that mean? It means with knowledge that it's false. Like I'm knowingly lying about you. I know you weren't found liable for rape. and I'm saying it anyway. Or the more frequent standard is the reckless disregard for its falsity. So you don't care.
The Megyn Kelly Show

They collapsed. They gave in like that and quickly settled the case with President-elect Donald Trump after the network's top star, George Stephanopoulos, had been ruled by the judge to be required to sit for a deposition. He fought it. He didn't want to have to do it. And the judge late last week said, well, you have to. You said a bunch of dumb shit. You've been sued for defamation.
The Megyn Kelly Show

So this is a scenario where this is what got Fox in trouble with Dominion, where Dominion's sending in letter after letter saying this isn't true. There's no evidence for it being true. Here's this that proves it's not true and that that proves it's not true. And all you have on the other side and saying it's true is like the unsupported declarations of Sidney Powell.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
That's how you get to reckless disregard of whether in fact it's true. So it has to be like, really, it can't just be like, I didn't do my homework. That's negligent. That's not reckless. Okay. So the standard is very high. And this is why I think that there were texts and there would be instant messaging between George and the team, all of that. That's all what the anchors use.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And I used it many times too, at Fox and at NBC, where you're corresponding with your, Stephanopoulos guaranteed was corresponding with his producers during that whole segment. And I guarantee you that those communications don't reflect well on anybody and anyone involved. And it could possibly be the team maybe saying it's sexual abuse. It's sexual abuse. And George refusing to acknowledge that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And then perhaps the team finally just realized they weren't going to bend him and threw up that Washington Post article. But whatever it is, it didn't look good for him, Eliana. I think we can agree on that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You mentioned Emily that, um, I think you, you were the one I can't forget whether it was you or the Allian. I think it was, you were talking about the disgusting nature of the interview to begin with, right? There was not a good look for George Stephanopoulos from the start. As I mentioned in my intro going after, um, a rape survivor. She was only 16 when she was raped, Nancy Mace.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And obviously any, any thoughtful person would say that is not the soft spot I want to exploit for purposes of looking tough on my show. I mean, think of the level of douchebaggery. in order to think that'll be a fun way one to really hit her with over and over. And then even in the line of the clip we showed, you have to answer, fuck off. I am here as a courtesy to you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I don't have to do anything. You don't like my answers. Don't invite me back. I don't have to do what you tell me. All of it is so... He's such a bully. And all the statements and the approach are evidence of what an arrogant prick bully he is, how he treated her, how he spoke about Trump, how he came after her with his demands to do it the way he insisted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And here is a little bit just to remind the audience of that dynamic as he aggressively went after Nancy Mason, sought one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay. By the way, let's just show them the jury form. Okay. Oh, you heard it over and over been found liable for rape who a jury found liable for rape. Here's the jury verdict form. I can't read that, but I remember that it says, did he commit, um, rape? And you can see, we highlighted here. It says no. And then they say, did he commit sexual assault? And it says yes. But look at that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I've refused to get rid of this case thus far. And you must sit like any other defendant, you privileged whatever. you must sit for a deposition and answer questions from Trump's lawyer. Trump, earlier in the case, had said, I'll sit for deposition, but not right now because I'm running for president, so I'm kind of busy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I mean, it's clear as day. This is what the jury found and Stephanopoulos would not adhere to it. Emily, so yeah, speak to the dynamic of the overall exchange.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Exactly right. And then, so that happened in March of 2024, that segment. And by the way, just in case people have forgotten, Bill Clinton was accused multiple times by multiple women of sexual abuse, assault, and rape. And who defended him? George Stephanopoulos at every turn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
far more. George Stephanopoulos created a whole war room to defend Bill Clinton. So for him to sit there and look at Nancy Mace and say, how could you support a rape defendant, a rapist, someone found liable for rape? How could you support somebody like that? The only thing missing from Nancy Mace's great response was, how could you, George Stephanopoulos,
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You ran a whole war room trying to tear down those. Don't lecture me on what's going to stop rape victims from coming forward.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
But what's going to stop them is people like you and your buddies for Bill Clinton who insulted them, called them trailer trash and unleashed the greatest legal teams in the country against these poor women who had absolutely no means to fight for their dignity and to protect themselves and from other women's against your predator boss. OK, so just stop anyway.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
George Stephanopoulos was not called out that way. He's been called out by people like us, but this is the first time he's really had to own up for his terrible behavior in one of the many ways it was terrible. Two months after he was with Mace in March of 2024, he goes on Colbert, which is on Arrival Network, CBS, and look at this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And the judge gave him a delay, but the judge also looked at Trump and said, you must sit too. You got a little time on your hands. I'm aware of your job. So Trump was going to have to sit too. But Trump, we know, is willing. Trump sat when he was getting sued by E. Jean Carroll. Remember, that's that famous...
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay. So what's so galling about that, Eliana, is as you well know, when you're involved in litigation, you know, like if I get involved in litigation, I would never... make a comment out about it publicly because it's stupid. It's estupido. You don't do it because it can come back to haunt you. And it was absolutely foolish for him to go. But you know why he did? He knows that for sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
The ABC lawyers told him that he had swagger around this. He was like, I know I'm only four foot two, but I'm going to take down the president. F you, big man. I'm George Stephanopoulos. He's got the Napoleon complex and he felt the need to try to act like a tough guy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They could have avoided this whole thing if the very next week on his show, he went out and said, I would like to apologize to President Trump. It totally stated the following things. Those things were not true. This is what I should have said. That's it. That shows a potential jury or judge. You didn't have actual malice in your heart. You did your best to correct the record.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
It doesn't necessarily totally exonerate you, but as a practical matter, it does. And instead, you had him out there again, little Napoleon trying to show how tough he was. Because, you know, he obviously had something to prove. Oh, and by the way, so he made their comments in March. In May, he goes on Colbert. In July, ABC News' motion to dismiss this case was denied. Denied.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They tried to get it dismissed on the papers, and the judge said no. They have stated a claim. This can be seen through to discovery. So that was July. Hello, folks. We're knocking on the door of Christmas and Hanukkah right now. So we're in December. So if once they lost the motion to dismiss, they easily could have settled it then, you know, we know what comes next discovery.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He's like, you, for example, would never be my type. She said, did you say you can grab women by the, you know what, and they'll let you do it and you're in a star? And he said, well, for thousands of years, that's been true. Unfortunately, or fortunately, that was Trump sitting for a deposition in a civil lawsuit that was against him. So he will do it. But George Stephanopoulos would not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
We got to turn over our texts, our documents. We are definitely going to have to give George over. They knew that producers on the show are going to have to give an over for deposition that we're going to have motion practice and possibly a trial. So they didn't even let it get... They let it go through. I assume they had discovery where papers were exchanged.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They would have had to in order to have George's deposition ordered. You can't take somebody's deposition without having seen any of the papers or the texts or anything behind it. And I assume that happened. And now he was about to have to sit. I really think... It's something about George sitting was what made them fold because it's not unprecedented for talent to have to sit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You know, we saw it at Fox news that the Murdoch sat at the, in the Fox news dominion case, Rupert Murdoch sat, um, not all the talent sat, but talent have sat in these losses. Jake Tapper, you point out he sat, but George Stephanopoulos sat. would not sit. And there's a reason for that, my friend.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Meantime, Emily, here is a taste of the media meltdown around this as they're getting the vapors over any sort of white flag being waved at Donald Trump, SOC 24.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay, first of all, if George Stephanopoulos bent the knee, we'd be looking at a Lilliputian. I'm like, where'd George go?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
What happened to George? You have to stand up straighter. Even straighter. Get straighter. We have to go super tall, Emily, now that ABC News is cave. The rest of us have to be even mightier to stand up against the giant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
No acknowledgement. They did the wrong thing. Why don't they just get a lawyer before they have these discussions to advise them?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He got the order that he would have to testify under oath and they refused. caved. They collapsed. They gave in and cried uncle. It's sad because I would have loved to have read that deposition transcript. You guys are probably familiar with the absolutely disgusting interview that led to all of this with George Stephanopoulos.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Remember this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Oh my God. Facts first, it reads. CNN.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Yeah, personally done at his request, reportedly. So, yeah, I guess that's not how the jury saw it. They saw... They saw an apple and it was George Stephanopoulos who saw a banana. That's really what happened. He saw the banana. He saw the banana being misused in ways the jury did not. And this jury was not on the same page.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
It's really amazing to watch it all go down and to watch the suffering, Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter, not saying this is a moment to reflect on how to be more careful. And you know what would be a great idea? Bring in a defamation attorney to educate all of us So that we don't make a similar mistake. Instead, it's they bent the knee. The rest of us have to stand stronger.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And you know what I think should happen now, especially given that and sort of this reaction across the left wing media, I think Trump should start writing letters to the people at MSNBC. who called him a rapist over and over and over. I mean, now he's got a settlement for $15 million. It's going to his presidential library. And they had to pay attorney's fees, a million bucks.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And they had to issue an apology and a statement on their reporting, admitting that it was false. If I were Trump, I'd be having my lawyer do a LexisNexis search for all the people who said in a factual way. I mean, you could say, I believe he's a rapist or it's obvious to me he raped her. Right. That's all fine. That's opinion. But you cannot say, as Stephanopoulos did, he is a rapist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He raped E. Jean Carroll. That's defamatory. So if I were Trump, I would spread the pain around.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
No, it's not. Let me tell you something. This is why we did a long episode that we released over the weekend about how the Duke lacrosse case, you know, the fake rape case unfolded and collapsed and how it was really the beginning of what we now call wokeness in the media, the way they covered these stories, how they choose a side based on skin color, potentially class, privilege, and gender.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
We did a big episode on this because he had on Congresswoman Nancy Mace back in the spring. And remember, he was disgusted that this rape victim could back It was someone who he kept claiming had been found liable for rape. That was the defamatory statement over and over and over. And we pointed out that that was false.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And how they never learned. Even though that case blew up in their faces, they just never learned. They doubled and tripled down and so on. It's a good episode. You guys should listen to it. I actually got some sweet notes about it from the players' families. So... We did that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And we were pointing out that the media that that's the reason that this alternative ecosystem was born, you know, the digital lane. And I said on the show, necessity is the mother of all invention. You know, people just they realized over time and Trump really helped how dishonest the media was and is and just demanded someplace else to go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
and then bit by bit, it started populating, and they fled. They fled the mainstream, so-called mainstream, in incredible numbers. Like, the GMA is cratering in the ratings. We've talked about MSNBC now regularly getting... I mean, slashies in the demo, which is below 50,000, slashies is true shame, shame, shame.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You would never want to look the boss in the face if you've gotten slashies under 50,000 in the 25 to 54-year-old. That's what sets your advertising rates. And the collapse in the overall is what goes to how much your cable subscribers are going to renew your deal for. How much are they going to pay to have MSNBC or CNN on their lineup? Less this go round than they did the last, that's for sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Because the power of these networks is diminishing quickly. So they're going to lose money in advertising and they're going to lose money in their subscription fees that they get. And then you look at what's happening in our lane. And my executive producer, Steve Krakar, said this to me just recently because we keep an eye on our numbers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
It made news back in July when our YouTube feed beat the YouTube feed of NBC News, CBS News, the BBC, Sky News, and many others, okay? It made news, made national news. November, which was a presidential election, as you know, not just for Megyn Kelly, but for all those same organizations. As far as I know, CNN and all these others made a big deal out of the presidential election, too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
In November alone, We just on our YouTube, this does not count Sirius XM audience. This does not count a podcast, our podcast audience. It does not count social media audience, just YouTube. In one month, we had 194 million and a half, 194 million views. Okay. Almost 200 million people were watching this show in November. Think about it. How did the others do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
NBC News, we crushed them by 50 million. CNN, they beat us by, we had two thirds of their audience when we last looked at it in July. We had two thirds of what they were getting on YouTube. CNN, we killed them this time. They lost to us too. They got 155. We beat them by 40 million. I could go on. I mean, all the mainstream, you know, uh, nets, they lost to us. That's all of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
All there's that's, that's Jake Tapper. That's Anderson Cooper. That's the 9 PM lady who never smiles. That's the morning show. That's all of them. All of them together. lost to just this show. Yay. Good for us. I'm happy to have a victory lab. I won't lie, but it's really not about that. The point I'm raising is they're collapsing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And my God, I shudder to think what's going to happen this month when all their audiences fled. That was when their audience's interest was at its peak. Our numbers are still very strong. So are Fox's. Anyway, the point is, how can this model continue, Emily? How can they How can these anchors continue to be paid these mega millions dollar sums?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And I believe we even suggested that Trump should sue him, but that he, that that was completely false. inaccurate, wrong, and it was liable. And we focused on the fact that he thought it would be super fun and really, like, make him look good to go after a rape survivor, Nancy Mace, and really twist her facts and her words in her face. Like... If you were raped, how could you support a rapist?
The Megyn Kelly Show

Rachel Maddow took a pay cut for her one hour a week from 30 million to 25 million a year. But there is just no way that this business model can be sustained for much longer.

ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Yeah, they don't get it. We played that soundbite last week of Leslie Stahl talking to Peggy Noonan like, I don't know why this is happening. Why? Why is the legacy media collapsing? Hello, Leslie, you should come on. I will explain it to you. I'd be happy to. There's a lot of examples at CBS News.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And by the way, you know, ABC News, this is just the latest, you know, that we're talking about, like an extreme... There was a day not long ago where that hot mess that they air in the mornings called The View had to issue not one, not two, not three, but four corrections, legal corrections, four legal notes. We only have three of them on camera, but look at this. Sorry, everyone.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Not to mention what they did at that debate, where once again... They tried to fact check only one side. And then when their fact checks got back checked, they cowered. They cowered in fear. I mean, this is a pattern with them. They're lucky it was only 15 million. We're not done with the media. Trump has just announced he's suing another outlet. We'll talk about who it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You claim you're a rape victim. How could a rape victim support a rape? Great. Great positioning. You're idiots. Stephanopoulos is an idiot and so are his producers. Because let me tell you, in all my years at Fox, never mind my shorts did in NBC, the producers have a couple of main jobs. One is to arm the anchor with facts. Fail. Fail. Okay, fail there. And two is to protect the anchor.

Here's Steve Schmidt from the discredited, vile Lincoln Project on the Stephanopoulos ABC News settlement. Quote, the pace of capitulation will increase. And along with it, a deep freeze will settle over most of America's newsrooms. End quote. Well, I've got news for you, Steve Schmidt.

If Trump winning against ABC News or getting them to settle in that case causes a deep freeze in any given newsroom, then they're doing the news wrong. Because those of us who cover him and the other side fairly have no fear whatsoever. I mean... All you can do is your best to remain factual and to label opinion as such. No one's perfect. ABC News isn't expected to be perfect.

You will not be found liable unless you breach it. ABC News was not found liable. They settled this case. Because they knew, they knew either what they did was wrong, what they said on paper or when they put George under oath was going to be extremely embarrassing, or that the risk was simply too great in proceeding to trial. Back with me now, Emily Jashinsky, D.C.

correspondent for UnHerd and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Press. Beacon. Okay, here's more. Brian Stelter. ABC News settled Donald Trump's defamation suit against the network and George Stephanopoulos because this problem needed to go away, an ABC executive remarked, on condition of anonymity. Ooh, big scoop. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
V goes on, but, but the speculation about why ABC agreed to settle and why now and why at such expense is not going away. This is not a scoop. This is nothing because it needed to go. Hello.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You protect the anchor. And so if the anchor is out there saying something colossally stupid, usually if you have a great producer, they'll get in your ear to say, no, it's this. No, it's that. Be careful. That happens with me all the time on this show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
The light bulb went off. Here is something that just happened. Trump is down at Mar-a-Lago as you know, and, um, Just announced another lawsuit that's coming, not against a media figure, but against Iowa pollster Ann Seltzer. Listen to this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay, just correcting there. It looks like they're going to file it against the Des Moines Register, the paper for which Ann Seltzer works, and not necessarily her personally, but obviously it's all based on her. By the way, just a thing for the viewers. You heard Trump there say, and in my opinion, it's fraud. In my opinion, it was fraud. Why does he say that? Why does he add that phrase?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Because he understands what the legal limits are. If he says they committed fraud... And they didn't. They could sue him. That's what he's worried. So he couches it as opinion, which is protected by the First Amendment. And if George Stephanopoulos had said, in my opinion, he raped her, he would have been protected, too. He can say that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He cannot go out there and say a jury found him civilly liable for rape because that's a factual statement. And his statement was not factual. So you heard him there outlining his cases there. He just settled the one with ABC. He's got one against now coming, I guess, against the Des Moines register about that poll that he says was fraudulent. And then you heard him reference there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He's also suing 60 million or 60 minutes for 10 billion. Is for their editing of the Kamala Harris interview. And there is another lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Committee for its behavior around the honor it gave the New York Times for its coverage of the Russia hoax. And while that third one sounded the most absurd to me, it's just survived motion practice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
A judge refused to throw it out on the papers. And it's as crazy as it sounds, like David Axelrod just sent out a tweet describing it as he's suing the Pulitzer Committee for honoring the Times coverage of Russian election interference. That's not exactly right. He's actually suing the Pulitzer Committee for its own statements about its decision to honor the Times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
My producers, the ones who run heard on various segments that I'm doing, if they realize I've said something inaccurate or that I'm searching for a factor constantly in my ears is why I wear these headphones to say it's this or it's that this whole thing that you're watching and listening to is a team effort.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
It was asked to do a review by Trump, who was complaining, saying, why are you honoring them? Everything they reported turned out to be fake. And they did a review and they came back and said, and I'm reading here, the separate reviews, we conducted reviews, the separate reviews converged in their conclusions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
colon, that no passages or headlines, contentions, or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes. And Trump's contention is that's absolutely wrong. There were many, many facts that emerged to show the New York Times had it dead wrong on the Russia hoax. And you saying that was a further defamation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You, the prize committee, defamed me. That's fair game. That's not just, hey, you shouldn't have given the honor to them. That would not be a good lawsuit. So there's the Pulitzer Prize one. The, the lawsuit against 60 minutes, I will say right here is laughable and should go away. It is absurd.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They are dishonest and should be shamed, but it's not illegal to make an edit that helps one candidate versus another. I, that one's going nowhere. In my opinion, don't know about the judge in the case. Maybe it's a Trump friendly guy that could get him passed around or two, but this, that that's not going anywhere. In any event,
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
The way the media is going to take this, Eliana, is it's an all out assault. It's retribution. And what I see is a litigious guy who is continuing in his litigious nature and doing what he's always done. Sue people who say nasty things about him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And 10 times that, 100 times that on ABC broadcast news and a Sunday show like the one George Stephanopoulos sits for. Partisan hack. He's been there a long time. It doesn't make him any more respectable. He's a partisan hack. He started off as a partisan hack and he remains one. He's just too ball-less to own his partisan nature.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I believe, I'm trying to look this up here, I believe the lawsuit against CBS News, which is based on an allegation that they somehow committed consumer fraud by submitting a dishonestly edited interview with Kamala Harris, is in a Texas state court, which would be very helpful to Trump. And I believe, if I'm not confusing my lawsuits, that it's in front of a Trump-appointed judge.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I'll go back and look at that, but I'm pretty sure... Yeah, it's in Texas and it's in front of a Trump judge. So that's probably what they're banking on. And CBS News is saying this case should be bounced to New York, where we are based and where we committed this alleged offense and where we can get a more left wing judge that maybe Trump did not appoint. So, yeah, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I mean, by the way, plaintiffs forum shop all the time where they try to file the lawsuit in the jurisdiction most favorable to them. We'll see how all these play out. Look, all these organizations have more money than God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They can easily they have lawyers on staff, general counsels and so on, and they can use some of their profits that they've earned in defaming and maligning Trump unfairly for all these years to hire outside counsel to handle these things. Right. Like these are two sophisticated parties suing one another. Right. Like Trump is a sophisticated party. CBS News is a sophisticated party.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And so is ABC News. And so is the Pulitzer Prize Committee. They can they can handle this litigation. He's trying to send a message. And by the way, I mean, like, it'd be nice if you could get some of the people who called you Hitler. But the problem is that's opinion. No one said, as a matter of fact, he's Hitler. So that one, you know, you can get away with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Yeah, like he's Hitler incarnate. He's actual Hitler. I think that's actually going to be really interesting. And I actually don't think this is going to cow the news rooms from negative coverage of Trump. It's their bread and butter. It's their oxygen. They won't know how to speak. If it's not for that. And some people are like, well, they've already been calmer. They've already been calmer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You know, you know why they've been calmer? Because Trump's not doing anything. There's very little to talk about right now. You just wait. You just wait until Trump gets back in office. None of these news organizations is going to be saying, well, he won the popular vote. Well, he has a mandate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Well, you know, we're going to we're going to back off because we want to get Republican viewers watching. That's not going to happen. They're going to go back to their normal Trump derangement syndrome selves and do what they normally do. And it's not like they defame him every day. What Stephanopoulos did there was really egregious.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And if you don't go to that level on your defamation, he probably will ignore you. But if you do what he did, you can and should defame. be sued. That one is totally fair. So I don't, I don't predict a chilling effect. I think they love bashing him too much. Oh, great. Is this, let me just ask my team a question. Is this, is this on the record that is this readable out loud? Yes. Okay. Sorry.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He wants us to believe that he's straight and narrow now, notwithstanding all those years helping Bill Clinton. And the irony of him going after a rape supporter in that way, how could you support a rape supporter? My God, the nerve to support a rape committer. After his years running the war room, tearing down Bill Clinton's sexual assault accusers, I mean, it's just rich.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
So we, as I said at the top of the show, reached out to Trump's lawyer in connection with the settlement with ABC News and the $15 million. And okay, just making sure, hold on. Sorry, forgive me because we don't normally let this play out live on the air, but I'm just getting it. Making sure this is on the record, not just on background before I read anything. Okay. We've, we've got to find out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
We've got to find out. Forgive me. We don't want to commit similar sins to our, the colleagues we've been ripping on, but to the extent we can read it, we will, uh, in just a minute. Okay. Here's what we should do. We're going to put a pin in that. We'll get back to it, but let's move on to Clarissa Ward because I don't know if you gals saw the reporting. Did you see it, Emily? You're smiling.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay. It was indelible. So for the audience members who didn't hear us talk about this with Hugh on Friday, and you should, because we went back and we really deconstructed that moment. Clarissa Ward of CNN walked into what was supposed to be a prison in Syria with some handler who was associated with the new Al Qaeda movement. adjacent group that's just taken over Syria.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And her handler walked into the prison with her. And one of Bashar al-Assad's prisoners was still in prison. She said everything was open. All the cells were open and the people had like left, but there was one that was locked. And so she said, we had the guy shoot off the lock on this one cell. They made us turn off our cameras and
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
the cameras go off and then they open the cell after this guy has now shot off the lock and they walk into the cell, which looks pristine, pristine, except for one blanket neatly laid out. You don't see anything. I don't know what's off camera to be fair, but I didn't see a bucket of human waste or human waste or anything. There's certainly no trash, no clothes, no, no debris anywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Looks clean. Um, Underneath the blanket emerges a man after several like, hello, hello, hello, hello. He's lying there. Then finally he emerges like a Phoenix. Hello. And Clarissa Ward represents that this is like, oh my God, it's a prisoner. Look, we found somebody. And then it gets very dramatic and she holds him. You're okay. You're okay. You're okay. You're okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Meanwhile, she's not speaking Arabic, which she says she does speak. She's speaking English to the guy. Okay. And she says that this is one of Assad's prisoners. Then we see them outside. And she's like rubbing his back. There he is. And look how clean his outfit is. He doesn't have a scuff on him. He doesn't have dirt on him. His fingernails are clean. His hand is shaking, supposedly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He says he's been in jail for three or four months and he's been in captivity without food or water for four days. Looks fine. Doesn't squint when he first sees the sun. We don't know. Well... Some online sleuths noticed a lot of these things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And by the way, we also reported that when Clarissa gave her report to Jake Tapper after the fact, she said she offered him her cell phone so he could call his family. And his response was like, no. She said he was too in shock to call his family. I think we're probably wondering where the guy was for four months. Probably wondering dead or alive, but like... didn't take the offer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
So now the whole thing has cost him his reputation and his company $15 million. Okay, we're going to get into all of this. There's more on the media front, not only with him, but also here. Do you remember the story we brought to you on Friday with Hugh Hewitt in which we questioned CNN's Clarissa Ward's report about allegedly stumbling into this dramatic rescue of a Syrian war prisoner? Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
All this stuff is suspicious and made it look very much like Clarissa and her brethren at CNN were used to dump out a little propaganda to the rest of us, which is a sin, especially in this line of reporting. It's the number one risk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You know, after getting shot, it's the number one thing you worry about as a foreign correspondent, that some group is going to use you in a clever way where you become their mouthpiece unwillingly. And now the There was a reporter who has been in captivity twice in Syria who was like, this stinks to high heaven. Syrian prisons are as dirty and messed up and covered with debris as you can get.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And this doesn't smell or look right. And now we find out that they've done more investigating the sleuths. And the name that Clarissa Ward and CNN attributed to this guy was not correct. It did not prove to be true. The sleuths have been looking into this. It is not the man she said it was. And now CNN has been forced to conduct an investigation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You can email me Megan at megankelly.com. And, um, before the week is through, I'll offer you some of the ideas I have come up with. Maybe we can share and contrast. In any event, today we start with this delicious news. I mean, you never see, you never see these media organizations held to account for their vile lies they tell about Donald Trump. I mean, it's rare to see it happen at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
They've launched an investigation to see what happened here. Eliana, I feel like we kind of know what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Wow. So what was he doing in the cell? Like if that's true, I can see him wanting to pretend he was a prisoner of Assad's as opposed to an alleged torturer who was working on behalf of Assad. But he would not have been locked up by Assad in a jail for four months. You know, one presumes if this is all if this is the nature of the relationship.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
So we even if that's true, Emily, we don't know why he was in this cell with a lock on it and what the game was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Mm hmm. Eliana, the statement, this is per the rap, is CNN to the rap. We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. Then they say no one other than the CNN team. Thank you. We reported the scene as it unfolded, including what the prisoner told us with clear attribution.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He's there under the blanket and there's no bucket for waste that we can see. And he's as clean as I am sitting on this set, even though he says he's been behind bars for three months and five or four days without food or water. And he's not blinded when he sees the sun and all sorts of weird things. Well, there's an update.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story. On Sunday, it was verify... I think it's short for Syria, a website that describes itself as an independent and unbiased platform specializing in fact-checking in Syria that cast doubt on the man's claim.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
The website's writer, Abdul Salam al-Hamwi, wrote that the man, who identified himself as Abdel Garbal from Homs, claimed he had been in prison for three months and then he got into some of the facts that suggest that's not how that looked at all. at all. Then they searched for records for a man named Adele Garble, could not find any.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Instead, they claim he's actually this man named Salama Mohamed Salama, who's also known as Abu Hamza, a first lieutenant in the Syrian Air Force intelligence who is well known for his behavior. And it goes on to some of the details that you already offered. Here's the thing. You're kind of in the business of checking those things out. If you're CNN and you're Clarissa Ward,
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
It's really not like that big a sacrifice to take an extra day. No one's like going to beat you to that story to kick the tires and figure out whether this guy really is who he says he is. And CNN also has has reporters and producers all around the world, I'm sure, including in Syria. So do you think this is a case of just negligence downsizing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
If, if in fact they, well, they've already been embarrassed because they reported the wrong name from, from their own admission, negligence downsizing, or just too good a story, Emily, like it's just too good. She, they, they, their star reporter looks like the next Christiane Amanpour. Let's do this thing.

Joining me now today for the full show, the EJs, Emily Jashinsky, DC correspondent for Unheard and host of Undercurrents, and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon and co-host of the podcast Ink Stained Wretches. For those of us who have been holding our breath for the past several months, we can finally exhale in the wake of this presidential election, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And like, you know, it could be an even bigger story. Like, oh, my God, we found an alleged torturer. Like, has he been hiding? What did he have a fallout with his side? Why is he in this prison? Was he really in this prison? Was he placing the diddy fool the rebels into doing like if I were CNN, I'd be like, this is like, let's get to the bottom of it before you hit air.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Let's get to the bottom of what really happened there. It's even more interesting if you go to air with, here's what happened as it unfolded. Then we found out he was lying to us. This is who we found out he is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Like, that's a great story, but it doesn't really support the narrative that Clarissa, Mother Teresa, went in there and rescued the poor, sad little man who hadn't eaten and rubbed his back. I'm telling you, it's like, is this the same network that let Chris Cuomo come out of that basement and pretend that he hadn't been out, right? We all knew he'd been out. We've seen the reports.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
He was out fighting with his neighbors during COVID. But then they let him do his dramatic, like, Mary Ingalls. Pa, I can see. I can see. Actually, it was I can't see. Anyway, okay, back to the Trump settlement with ABC News. We have now made sure we can read what I was about to read. Okay, so our producer spoke with Trump's attorney, Alejandro Brito, and here is what he said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Our question was, why did ABC decide to settle? The long and short of it is the nature of the claims that were brought and the fact that they were verifiable from a standpoint as factually untrue from George Stephanopoulos. Trump's legal team had separate video clips of George Stephanopoulos on ABC that showed Stephanopoulos knew that Trump had not been found liable for rape.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
This was not a situation where there was simply a misunderstanding of Um, George Stephanopoulos interviewed E. Jean Carroll after the trial on his show. And we had video of his questions to Carol. And when he asked her how she felt after Stephanopoulos said Trump was not liable for rape, juxtapose that with his questioning of Mace. That's very interesting. It's a good point.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
We actually, uh, we should go back and pull that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Was there something, this is us, in discovery that scared ABC into settling? Answer, the possibility of something coming out in discovery may have had led to the settlement. Trump legal team had scheduled to take the deposition of ABC and ABC rep and George Stephanopoulos. The lawyer suspects ABC did not want it to happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Quote, it wasn't something ABC learned that caused them to settle, but rather something Trump's team may learn, he said. End quote. Our question, had they already exchanged documents? To my point of normally you exchange texts and papers before you sit for the deposition. He said that there had been minimal document exchange and discovery.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Trump team was waiting on ABC and Stephanopoulos to respond to discovery demands. He said at the time of the settlement, ABC had only, quote, produced one piece of paper. End quote. Very interesting. And not provided any other documentation. He believes fear of what Trump could learn about ABC and Stephanopoulos and document exchange may have played a role in the settlement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
That's very interesting. So they had handed over one piece of paper. They had not turned over the texts or the instant messages or the oh shit exchanges when they got the lawsuit or any of that stuff. And they were about to have to. they panicked, understandably. And now we'll never know what was in those documents, but spare us the, oh, poor news organizations.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
How will they ever cover the news now, Eliana, right? It's like, I stand by everything I've written down with my team. Every word I've said on this show, no one's perfect, but I could defend all of it in court. Something stinks at ABC News.

Work can finally be done on the major issues that this country's facing, and one of the most significant is our national debt. Look, the fact is our nation's broke, and that debt is a house of cards that cannot be quickly dismantled by anyone. So the strategy remains the same when it comes to your investments.

Yeah. No trial in that one, though. Um, okay. Let's shift gears for a moment because I want to spend a minute on, um, the WNBA and Caitlin Clark. You guys saw that speaking of bend the knee, she did not look like a Lilliputian when she did it. She's tall, a tall lady. And she decided to go woke. And when Time Magazine made her athlete of the year, she accepted.

She was fine going into the spotlight and saying, yeah, thank you. I love to be on your cover and my sexy outfit. Let's do this thing. interview me in my sexy plunging dress. I do like the spotlight. It feels good to be in front of the camera. Okay, fine. I have no problem with that. However, I do when you get out there and you say, but I feel really bad about it.

I'm very sad I'm here because I'm so white. I'm Time Magazine so white. And I really wish you were paying attention to the black players. That's my true wish. If you could just stop looking at me under the Klieg lights and look over there at the black players. That's what I really want from you, Time Magazine.

And then she went on to talk about how it's my truth and her white privilege and all that. So, okay. So did the bending of the knee... I mean, I have a soundbite that I want to play for you, and it involves the owner, I believe, of the Mystics, which is, yeah, co-owner Sheila Johnson. She owns a different team, the Mystics, within the WNBA.

And I really think... I was very critical of Caitlin Clark for doing this. Maybe... Maybe what she said really will win over the WNBA that's been bullying her mercilessly because she's white and earning. Maybe I was just too dense to see it. And Caitlyn is very clever. And actually, the league is really going to get behind her now and say, you know what? She is the best.

It's a good point. It's a good point. No, I mean, they're obviously saying that the only reason people want to watch Caitlin is that she's white. They're excited because she's white. And I think the record seems pretty clear. They're excited to watch Caitlin because she's great.

I'm sorry, but if she really just wants the spotlight to be on the deserving black players who surround her and on whose backs this league was built, then you shouldn't have taken the honor. Then you should have said, make the WNBA the team of the year, the league of the year. What I don't need right now is an additional singled out honor. That's what she should have done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You can't have it both ways. She wants the attention. She wants to be in the spotlight. And then she wants to just throw a bone to the girls who were rejected. And so it doesn't come as any surprise to me that they don't want her discarded bones and that this did nothing to appease them and actually probably infuriated all of us. We'll see. Okay.

So, ladies, have you seen a drone yet? Not yet. No, nothing? I have to tell you. Not seen them in Northern Virginia. I got some friends in Connecticut who have seen something. Like people are checking their ring cameras, their footage, and seeing mysterious items. They're all over New Jersey now. The sightings have been New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

bullshit. Those are lies. You can tell those are lies. One after the other, we're being misled that I think we're pretty clear on. And, you know, first it was, you're not seeing what you're, what you think you're saying that they're not out there. People are making it up. Then it was, Oh, they're fixed wing air aircraft.

And then, you know, the, the Maryland governor came out and said, hello, we saw drones and, you know, person after person, credible, credible, credible witness after it came out and said, these are drones. Stop it. Just stop it right now. And now it's okay, they're there, but we don't know what they are. But they said, oh, there's nothing to worry about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And then the New Jersey lawmakers came out and said, no, you can't say that. We don't know what they are. How can you tell us we don't know whether we have cause to worry? And then you saw him dancing there. And now here's a man named John Ferguson. He's CEO, he says, of a drone manufacturing company in Kansas. He went viral over the weekend.

Okay, I did not know that a drone could sniff. That is news to me. Okay. I've heard a few different theories along this line. Like they're out there running a PSYOP, like seeing how the public would react if and when they really are needed to respond to, for example, a dirty bomb or the detection of one that they actually are trying to detect, whether something has been released or
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And that's why they don't want to tell us because it would cause a panic, which would be incredibly criminally negligent, right? To allow people to be whatever. These are all just theories that are being bandied about. We have absolutely no idea. That's the truth, Eliana.

As Judge Judy always says, it didn't make sense. And if it doesn't make sense, it isn't true. It doesn't make sense, Emily, that we can't shoot down one of these reportedly hundreds of drones to see what the hell it is. Like she says, some of them are over the water. We absolutely could shoot one down.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You're going to tell me the military wouldn't shoot down something that could possibly be a threat to national security or the lives of Americans when we don't know what the hell could be for and released? Bullshit. No one believes that. that. What I believe is the government knows full well what they are, and it has its reasons for not telling us.

I just feel like they must know. They must know because it's been going on for so long. They must be complicit. There's no way... How would it be going on this long if they didn't know what it was and hadn't ascertained that they want it or that it's not going to hurt anybody? That doesn't seem possible to me. The question is, why won't they tell us? That's my question.

You know, the thing that got them in trouble, Eliana, was he went out there, repeatedly said that a jury had found him liable for rape, which is not what happened. A jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse. And they said no on the rape charge. Then the judge wrote up his, like, interpretation of what happened. Obviously, this judge was not a Trump fan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And the judge, Lewis Kaplan, wrote as follows after the fact when Trump was seeking a new trial. The judge wrote the finding that Miss Carroll failed to prove that she was raped within the meaning of New York penal law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump raped her. As many people commonly understand the word rape.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Okay, nobody even understands what that means other than this judge wanted someone to see the word rape and Trump's name in a headline. But the fact remains the jury's verdict is the jury's verdict and no judge can change it with words after the fact or their post verdict interpretation. The judge can throw it out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
The judge can lower the charge potentially by throwing a charge out, but he can't increase the charge. from sexual abuse to rape. It's not a possibility, neither this judge nor any other. And the bottom line is Trump was not found liable for rape by this jury. And despite that fact, George Stephanopoulos went out on the air in that interview and sounded like this sought to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And trust me, as a media figure, I'm not clamoring to see media figures get sued for defamation for mild sins or even moderate sins. But this was just so egregious. And they did it over and over and over again at ABC News. They didn't care. They clearly enjoyed saying what George Stephanopoulos said. It made them feel good about themselves. This is George Stephanopoulos's
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And that's why he's now having to pay $15 million, or his news organization is, Eliana. So what do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
But, you know, what what they also skipped was the motion for summary judgment phase, because that's filed after you get depositions from each side. What normally would happen is they take Stephanopoulos' deposition, they take Trump's deposition and whoever else's that they wanted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
And then you get all your deposition transcripts ready and you file as the defendant a motion for summary judgment, meaning give me a win here, judge. and dismiss this defamation claim against ABC without a trial. Because here, you can see right here that everyone admits the judge said this. But the problem is that they didn't do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
So they wanted to get out of this before they even had that serious shot at getting it dismissed altogether by the judge. They, which tells me They didn't want him sitting for deposition. That's why they paid the $15 million. That, plus they were probably, yes, a bit on bended knee because they're afraid of Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
Not so much in his capacity as a plaintiff, but in his capacity as the president-elect. And they need him. ABC News needs to have a relationship with him. This is no way to do it, to continue to lie about him, to maintain that your lies were justified.
The Megyn Kelly Show
ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
You were allowed to tell them, notwithstanding the fact that it is indisputable he was not found liable by a jury for rape, as Stephanopoulos said over and over, Emily.

ABC Pays Trump Millions to Settle, and Government Deflects About "Drone" Truth, with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson | Ep. 966
I'll just leave the dirty teen joke there, that that's how he feels about saying nasty things about Trump. And finally, it came back to bite him. I would love to see what's in his text messages to his producers because I guarantee it just cost ABC News $15 million. That's almost certainly what happened. So you may have heard this over the weekend. Trump sued ABC News and ABC News caved.

I worked with him for a year plus at NBC and spent a fair amount of time with this guy. Very far left kid. And not a kid, but he's younger. And he starts asking Gavin Newsom a bunch of softball questions. And Newsom tries to spin that... Everything was filled. All the reservoirs were totally filled. I don't know what the hubbub is about.
The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And who could blame her? All right, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We begin with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who spent the weekend trying to avoid responsibility as the fires were still burning by dropping by the Pod Save America podcast for an attempt to clean up his own image.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
there was a very obvious threat to this particular area. And now indeed, Stu, according to the LA Times that they believe, or the Washington Post, they believe that this fire in the Pacific Palisades was the result of a nearby fire that had started on New Year's Eve thanks to fireworks that they put out, but it was still smoldering. And with the high winds, it sort of jumped.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Anyway, all of which is foreseeable. And he's going to die on the hill of, well, the locals didn't fill their reservoir, but the state reservoirs had water.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Now you've got the media, including CNN's fact checker, air quotes, Daniel Dale, trying to tell us that there was no shortage of water in L.A. I mean, we know that the reservoir that serviced the area that burned to the ground was empty. But he's like, there's absolutely no problem with shortage of water in the L.A. area. Listen to this moron.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
infrastructure issues. Okay, the LA Times on Friday, a Department of Water official acknowledged that the reservoir's absence, the one we're talking about for Palisades, likely contributed to some diminished pressure and dry hydrants in upper regions of the Palisades.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
The reservoir's absence, meaning look at this empty reservoir that serves Pacific Palisades, that it contributed to the diminished pressure and the dry hydrants. So how do you figure that there's no shortage of water in the LA area, Daniel Dale, and that this empty reservoir had no effect? Who died and made you fire chief or Department of Water investigator? He knows nothing, this guy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
All he knows how to do is run cover for Democrats. They go on in the LA Times, to your point about Michael Lewis, this is no conservative publication. This is not the Wall Street Journal or the New York Post. They write, citing a former, that quote I read you was from a current DWP official. Now they go to a former general manager, a guy named Martin Adams.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Had the reservoir been operable, it would have extended water pressure in the Palisades. It would have. Of course, because they ran out of water pressure in the upper parts of the Palisades once the lower parts of the Palisades were in trouble. And by the way, Janice, the woman who runs the Department of Water Works, came out and admitted all this already, Daniel Dale.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Daniel Dale, I fact-checked you, and you failed. You failed the fact-check. And honestly, it would help you a lot if you would just stop, if you would just check your political agenda when actually looking into things, because we've heard the water chief talk about this. She was out there the day after talking about how the low-pressure
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
prevented them from getting water in the upper regions of the Palisades. And then none of the officials denied that there was no water in the reservoir that was supposed to be servicing those hydrants. that that was indeed a big problem for the firefighters. It wasn't just the fact that there's shitty infrastructure. It was the absence of water to draw from in the first place.

So you've got Daniel Dale of CNN saying there was absolutely no water shortage. It's not a thing. And then Elon Musk, God love him because he's getting the Starlink satellite feed up so that people can have service out there. He's doing a lot as he always does in these tragedies to help people.

So you decided the thing to do would be to go on pod, save America to talk about it because it's in the end, it's all about you. This is another David Muir folks. He is just as vain and worried about his image in the middle of this emergency as David Muir with his little fake fireman's jacket and clothes pins in the back. It's the same person, the same person, though.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And he goes out there and he's become sort of a citizen journalist with his iPhone going out there trying to film. He did it in Israel after 10-7. Now he's in LA with some of the firefighters.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And the problem he has in talking to some of these firefighters is it's not a high likelihood that the firefighters on cam with Elon Musk and being seen by their bosses and by LA Mayor Karen Bass and by everybody are going to throw anybody above them under the bus. So at the end of their 13-minute exchange, the following thing happened. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Okay. So we were flowing an amount of water that the system couldn't hold. So he doesn't point to the reservoir and he doesn't talk about the empty hydrants. He says, you know, the amount of water that we were throwing through this urban system was too much for the system.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And in his defense, the water works woman, Janice Quinones did say after the fire that, um, an urban system cannot handle the amount of firefighting that we were doing. Normally, they would throw in helicopters with water, but they couldn't given the winds. All right. So ultimately, what they did was they got tankers of water to come and sort of serve as backup. But too late, too little, too late.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Right. Again, a failure of planning. In any event, no acknowledgement by the firefighter and who knows whether even understood about the reservoir that was empty that services Palisades.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
However, a Department of Water official spoke to the LA Times again and acknowledged, quoting here, that the reservoir's absence likely contributed to diminished pressure and dry hydrants in the upper regions of the Palisades. So it's already been admitted. Nonetheless, what do you see now after Elon tweets out his live stream? Gavin Newsom's like, his lies have been exposed, exposed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And then he's like, Oh, yeah. By the way, I want a full report on why that reservoir was empty. Right. So it's like trying to have it both ways. It's a lie that we were out of water, but we were out of water. And I want a full report because it was definitely not my fault. It was the locals. And then you've got the local firefighters being like, oh, the diminished pressure.

I have to say Gavin Newsom's probably a little smarter than David Muir, but that's the bar is very low. Um, Listen to this. He goes out there. Uh, hold on a second. Do we have it here? It's sought for it's Gavin Newsom talking on pod. Save America. No, no. Is it positive America? Yeah. Yeah. I'm positive America about it to me. It's like a,

Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Yeah. Why weren't the tankers that we eventually saw in these neighborhoods pre-positioned so that there'd never be a situation in which those in the upper hills of the Palisades would run out of water as we saw reported by firefighters left and right, which the media also tried to tell us was not true, but then had to admit because the firefighters were coming out and saying it.

The gaslighting that the City of Los Angeles is going through must be infuriating for those who are looking at their houses in ashes right now. Just as an update, as of today, the latest count is 24 dead. Cadaver dogs are now being brought in to locate human remains. They expect that number to go up. 12,300 structures have burned. That Palisades fire is only 13% contained.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
The Eden fire, which is one of the other ones, 27% contained. And so they're still in danger out there. I want to get to what the fire chief now is saying. This woman who, you know, she's a lesbian. She wants you to know she's a lesbian. Yay, she's a lesbian in the first line of her fire chief file. And she hired two other lesbians to work for her right under, okay, great.

She went into the meeting with the mayor expecting to get fired. Somehow something happened in that room, they say, that led to her not getting fired. I don't know, but this woman,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
She knows how to fight fires and she's doing it now on the air. And she is like, bitch, I'm not going down alone to the LA mayor. It's been pretty extraordinary to watch this woman Crowley fight back and tell us all that I've been trying to warn these morons that we needed more resources and that we were not in a position to do what we needed to be able to do.

I mean, these just to. give people an idea of scale. Manhattan is 14,000 acres. In LA, at least 17,000 acres have been burned to the ground, have been eliminated. They're gone. Um, it's, it's truly, it is shocking. I heard somebody saying it looks like Mars, you know, like it looks like the surface of Mars now just burned embers. Think about it. An area bigger than the Island of Manhattan.

So on the subject of whether they were prepared, there was a report on Friday by the Daily Mail saying that there's a leaked memo revealing that Karen Bass, the mayor, demanded that this fire department, from whom she'd already cut $17 million, cut an extra $49 million from their budget just one week before these wildfires.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
There was a leaked memo of Karen Bass's proposed cuts obtained by a fire department whistleblower. It's dated January 6th. And in it, Bass demanded that the fire department make an extra $49 million in budget cuts on top of the 17.6 million she already cut saying, let's see. Oh, and then, then let's see.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
OK, yeah, she says the only way to provide a cost savings would be to close as many as 16 fire stations, not resources, but fire stations. This equates to at least one fire station per city council district and then says openly they're trying to allocate more money for the homeless and they need to start taking from everyone. It's pretty amazing.

Then you've got the Free Beacon with a report that two months before these blazes, the L.A. fire chief, this woman Crowley, said she needed more firefighters, that they didn't have enough. And on November 18th, she asked them. for more, saying the fire department has not grown in decades despite significant population growth, saying we are not able to meet the challenges of this city right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We need more firefighters. So you got Karen Bass saying you need another 50 million cut from you. And the fire chief saying, actually, what we need is more money and more firefighters. We're not equal to the task right now. And, um, of course that's not what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Uh, and then of course you've got reports out of the Washington post saying the firefighters were slower to respond to this blaze that unleashed in the Palisades because it was so widespread. They were spread too thin and they didn't have enough people. So all of that, you can see exactly what was happening here. Um, they didn't have enough people. They, she did try to say something about it.

Equity and social justice. I'm sorry, Stu, but I think they should all be fired. They should all be fired. Any time you spent, Fire Chief, worrying about making sure you have the staff for DEI and so proud that you amassed the staff for that while you're short firefighters, you should be fired. You're... Black lesbian DEI chief, that's a position that is unnecessary.

Historically, this is only provided to the chairman of the committee, Senate armed services, who got it along with the ranking member, the top Dem who got it. They don't get to keep it, but they get briefed on it. But all these lower losers are like, why don't we have it? Because you're not the chair and you're not the ranking member. Sorry.

Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Go talk to the ranking member if you want to know what was in it. And you've got Dick Blumenthal, who's from my now adopted home state, Connecticut, saying there is damning information that won't even be in the FBI report. This is from The New York Times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
He says, OK, Democrats on the committee believe that there are additional allegations that should appear in the pages of the FBI background check to inform their questioning. That belief is based in part on information they have gleaned from individuals who have quietly approached Senate offices to divulge info about Mr. Hegseth. Quote,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
damning is an understatement, said Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, referring to additional info about Mr. Hegseth that he has been made aware of that in his estimation ought to appear in that FBI report. It was not clear what information he was referring to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So he's trying to generate a bunch of negative headlines about Pete and I guess has some sort of big surprise potentially for Pete tomorrow based on some rando who came to him and somehow not the FBI. What do you make of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And you tell me what the answer is to my question about what the press would be doing to Ron DeSantis if he swung by the Ruthless podcast in the middle of the hurricane. The fires are still burning. There's zero purpose in going on Pod Save America other than to burnish his own image.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Any length to destroy somebody. Okay, so that raises an interesting question, which is, do the Democrats trot out that alleged rape accuser who complained that he allegedly raped her back in 2017, which led to no charges because the local authorities were not satisfied there was actually a case there? So do they trot her out, Christine Blasey Ford style, tomorrow to kick things off with a bang?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
No, but he said she can. He said, go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But she hasn't come out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Then why did her friend leak the memo to the Trump transition team? Her friend. There is no friend on earth who would leak a memo to the Trump transition team that you had allegedly been raped by his DOD nominee without your permission.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I mean, it's very clear this woman greenlit this report, probably again because of the husband, who is very dug in on the he raped her narrative, which is much better for him than my wife slept with Pete Hegseth down the hall while I was asleep in our hotel room with our two minor children. Um, but I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So far, the woman, you know, she, she made a splash or somebody on her behalf made a splash with the, with the Trump transition team saying, here's a memo, read this. But since then, nothing. And they've been threatened by Pete's lawyers. defamation is still a thing. Like you come out and repeat these defamatory allegations. We're ready. So we'll see. I mean, there's a lot at stake tomorrow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And that'll be the big question for me. Did the Democrats actually put her on? And does this woman have the nerve to say publicly what she said behind closed doors?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
If you're lying, the last thing you want to do is go testify before Congress and lie under oath and in a way that would be defamatory and you could get sued. Like, my God, it'd be hard enough to do if it were true. And if it's a lie and you're under pressure simply from your husband, this is a supposition, even harder.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So we'll see how far the Democrats do, you know, bring this tomorrow and what witnesses they are prepared to unleash. We will have... full coverage of all of that rest assured.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And then we have to see what happens with Pam Bondi too, because while we have every assumption she'll get through relatively easily, there, there are many on the left who are saber rattling now because she defended some of Trump's election claims. And they're like, we can't have an election denier as the attorney general. So it's not going to be all that pleasant for her either.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And it'll be fascinating to watch just how hard they go. Stuber gear, a pleasure, my friend. Thanks for being here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
All right. Coming up next, we've got Ilya Shapiro. You remember Ilya, who got completely screwed over by Georgetown Law, remember? Because he sent out that tweet about so-called lesser black woman when he was saying the obvious best choice for the U.S. Supreme Court was some Indian jurist who he was backing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And he was saying instead, because Biden has said we're going to get a black woman no matter what. that he thought it would be a lesser than because he thought the best person was this Indian guy. In any event, they ruined his career as a result of that tweet, ruined it. And now he's out with a book, which is written like... The Washington Examiner says it reads like a thriller. And it's true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I do kind of believe, having been through something similar, only when you've been subjected to the most disgusting, canceled culture mob... Do you find like the fierce power to really put their terrible behavior in perspective? And Ilya does just that and shines a light on what's happening at our law schools with the out of control DEI. I mean, they...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
These law schools, they would love what that fire chief said and what her third in command said and what that Janice Quinonez said. And all those law students are what we call future lawyers and future judges and God forbid, even future Supreme Court justices. We take a look underneath that curtain next.

Back in 2022, we told you the story of how Ilya Shapiro, very respected lawyer and public commentator, was about to start a new prestigious job as the executive director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution. That was before a woke mob demanded he lose the job before he even began it. He was immediately suspended and Georgetown conducted a four-month investigation into a single tweet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Tweet the one that I just referenced. The university lifted the suspension on the technicality that Ilya was not yet an employee at Georgetown when he posted. And Ilya joined us on this show in June of 2022 to discuss the emotional toll of the whole ordeal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Ugh, these disgusting people. But that was not the end of the story. Just days later, Ilya resigned, saying the atmosphere at Georgetown made it untenable for him to do his job, even though they were like, we'll see, we'll kind of tolerate you, you know, under strict conditions, he can start here. Well, he is back here today stronger than ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
He has a new job as the director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, which we love. Read City Journal. It is the best publication. And he's out this week with a new book called Lawless, the Miseducation of America's Elites. Oh, it's like shoot it into my veins.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
It's about the illiberal takeover of American law schools and its dire consequences on free speech, civil discourse, and much, much more. Ilya, welcome back. And thank you for writing this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I just want to show people the amount of hysterics over your one tweet, which you wound up saying, okay, it was poorly worded, but the principle stands. We should not be choosing Supreme Court justices based on their lady parts and their skin color. And this led to such... affected, upset at Georgetown Law School and elsewhere. But I mean, it was truly performative.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And these are the two clips that I asked my team for because I remember them. First, the students who are protesting you, in quotes, wanted reparations because they missed lunch, I think it was. Here it is, stop 37.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
She wants reparations in the form of free food. And crying rooms, Megan. Wait, we have that. That's the second one. Sod 38.

So you've got to call the dean to say, I need to cry. I can't have anybody looking at me. And he will find you space as opposed to educating law students.

It's called Lawless, the Miseducation of America's Elites by Ilya Shapiro. You can get it right now. It's on sale officially beginning January 14th. But let's support Ilya and get it, get the advance, because that helps drive up his numbers. And we want to force him onto the New York Times bestseller list. That'll really get their goat.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So you start digging into, geez, maybe it's not just Georgetown Law School that's lost its ever-loving mind. Perhaps this is a real problem because it wasn't just at Georgetown we've seen this terrible behavior. Who could forget this one? This is SOT39, and I remind the audience we covered this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
This is out at Stanford Law School where the associate dean for DEI tried lecturing Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan back in March of 2023 just to give you a flavor of for how widespread the craziness is that Ilya is starting to dig into. Watch this at 39.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
They're snapping. If you're snapping, you're out. I'm not hiring anybody who snaps as applause. And they're thrilled because he's a Fifth Circuit, which is a more conservative bench. And he was a Trump appointee so that he's not allowed to speak at Stanford. And, you know, that's that's why she's saying is the juice worth the squeeze, because you've written opinions to which we object.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But you found this is not just a Stanford or Georgetown problem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We are seeing DEI crumble minute to minute. You had Mark Zuckerberg last week saying it's done at Meta, no more DEI at Facebook. You have all these big companies like Caterpillar and Walmart, very well-known companies, thanks in large part to the work of Robbie Starbuck, who's been serially embarrassing them all by threatening to just make it public what they're doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
starting to run an abandoned DEI. You had a very interesting legal case just last week. It was U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, who ruled on Friday that American Airlines violated its legal responsibilities in managing employees' retirement assets by encouraging environmentally and socially responsible investing in its 401k plan.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
This has been happening more and more where these companies try to bend the knee to so-called ESG, which is another form of DEI, and say we're only going to use like BlackRock to do our investments. And BlackRock prioritizes companies that will get little pats on the back from the DEI crowd instead of prioritizing making money.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And now we have a federal district court ruling saying you violated the law. You have a legal responsibility to these retirees to make money, not to make yourselves feel like so-called good people. My point is it's starting to crumble, Ilya, but not at the law schools.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
That, by the way, when they strike may be a mystery, but that they're going to strike is not. And he would be the first to say the buck stops with me. I'm the chief executive of the state. To the extent there was an inadequate preparation or response, it's on me. That's what Ron DeSantis would say. You know it and I know it.

Again, the book is called Lawless by Ilya Shapiro. Get it now. The law school thing, is there any chance what's going to happen there and what is happening is what we've seen even at the far left schools in places like New York City. I've told the audience before, I have a friend, she was committed to the left. She canvassed for Joe Biden back in 2020. Her kids, lefties,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And now, especially her son, who's at one of these snooty private schools in New York City, has completely been red pilled. He is 100 percent Trump. He's pro MAGA. He's got the hat because they pushed him too far. These kids, they want to rebel. against the machine. And when the whole machine is like, you will be woke and you will prioritize skin color and gender and sexual preference.

My advice to any law school student or a college student, for that matter, who is under threat of being downgraded unless they say the left-wing things they're being asked to say is don't do it. Write what's true, what's real, what you really feel, even if it's non-woke, And then when you get the bad grade, you save it like a merit badge.

And when you go out to interview for a real job and you will have done your research on who's far left and who's normal, you show it to them. You show them why you got a D in con law, the first D of your career, because you were a straight A student in everything.

in the danger areas before the hurricane hit. And this is the same thing. They knew the Santa Ana winds were gonna be up to 100 miles an hour before Karen Bass left for Ghana, which now the LA Times is reporting that when she ran for mayor, because she'd been flitting about the world when she'd been a US Congresswoman, including over to Africa many times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
everything else prior to that moment, because you wrote that woke ism is ruining America and is pernicious in particular in advanced degrees like law and medicine, right? That, and then you should work for the employer who celebrates your D with you like me or like Ilya people that were out there. We're half the country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981

You just have to find the right employer and get through these far left institutions who try to ruin you and make you say what they want you to say, make you feel what they want you to feel before you can have access to the employers who feel very differently.

Again, the book is called Lawless, the Miseducation of America's Elites by Ilya Shapiro. I got to ask you this, Ilya. So there's a couple of things in the news that I'm going to take advantage of your expertise to talk about. It just came out that the Jack Smith report, even though Jack Smith is now officially resigned, his position as special prosecutor is going to come out.

She promised the citizens of LA she would not take any international trips. She said, don't worry, not only will I be living in Los Angeles, but I will not leave Los Angeles on any international trips if I become mayor. And what does she do? She went to Ghana. Why? It was something super important, something she really needed to get No, she was a damn boondoggle.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
uh, about Trump that even judge alien cannon down there in Florida has cleared the way for a piece of it to come out. Trump thinks this is nonsense. He's like, the guy was never properly appointed. The court ruled that judge alien cannon ruled that. So why should people have access to this? Do you think that makes any sense?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
My hope is that we get our hands on the Jack Smith internal memos, but my belief is that they've all been burned. There will be no record of them when Team Trump takes over.

She had to be there for the inauguration of the leader. Who gives a shit whether we have an LA mayor at the inauguration in Ghana? I mean, it's ridiculous. Anyway, okay, so she is totally incompetent and they'd been warned.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
She'd been warned, her office had been warned, and the citizens of Los Angeles had been warned that the Santa Ana winds were going to be very dangerous and that there was a supremely high risk of fire. Did she pre-position, you know, the electrical workers, the firefighters? Did she bring in tanks and tanks of extra water? Did she make sure the reservoirs were filled?

And what you have in California is these mealy mouthed, kale eating, broccoli pushing, Birkstock, whatever, wearing pants. Politicians who can't find another person fast enough to blame.

She is not going down without bringing Mayor Karen Bass with her.

Gavin Newsom is now writing to the Department of Water and Power and to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass demanding an investigation. He writes, I request that the Water Department and L.A. County officials swiftly prepare a comprehensive review examining their local preparation, underscore local preparation. Local, because the state preparation, trust me, it was absolutely perfect.

This is actually, this was, you know, prescient because this is a January 2022 headline, but it's perfect for that letter I just read, which just came out on Friday. Gavin Newsom demands answers from whoever's in charge of California. Exactly right. So now he wants an after action review. This is like he is pretending like there is just complete separation of church and state here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
You know, he had absolutely nothing to do with it. Like if if there's a local government that the governor really his hands are tied, he can do nothing to prepare for an emergency nor to address it after the fact. All he can do is just demand answers like Stuberger and Megyn Kelly, like as observers outside the realms of power.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Not only has he been opposing it, but he's been funneling the California taxpayers' money to the homeless who are everywhere, thanks to him, to soft-on-crime DAs, right, who he supports and Searle supports, who are letting these looters in and out. And then he denies it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Meanwhile, we've seen the law that's been on the books up until recently when the California taxpayers reversed it, saying if you steal under $1,000, we're not going to come after you. It's fine. It's a misdemeanor. and to these illegals who are now getting Medicaid in California thanks to him. Illegals. So, like, this guy's priorities are not with keeping people safe at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
He doesn't care about the crime, about the illegals, and obviously not about the fires, which, after the fact, you know, again, like, hey, sure, could somebody let me know how that happened? That seems bad. He... Gets caught out in front of the fires by NBC's Jacob Soboroff, who is further left than Gavin Newsom. Trust me, I know him.

And now we can introduce you to one of the most intriguing players in this whole story. Christy Schiller is a Houston horse breeder, socialite, one-time Playboy model, and a broadcaster. What was the first you heard about the Lisa Irwin case?

Then Christy got a call from a family friend, Debra's cousin, Mike Lorette.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
Christy had her own theories. She had spent that summer glued to the trial of Casey Anthony, a mother accused of murdering her three-year-old daughter.

Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
Sure that Deborah was caught in this backlash, Christie swung into action, tapping into the brain trust of police and legal professionals that she met through her charity, Canines for Cops, created in tribute to a police dog killed in the line of duty. She called Bill Stanton, a former New York City police officer, private investigator, and TV commentator who was on her canine board.

Bill assembled a team that included Phil Houston, CIA veteran of 25 years. Phil created the deception detection method, still being used by the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, and law enforcement agencies around the nation. He is known as the human lie detector. Former Secret Service psychologist Marissa Randazzo was also part of the team.

First order of business, they needed to determine what, if any, involvement Deborah may have had. By this point, the baby's father, Jeremy, had essentially been ruled out because there's security video of him working on an electrical project at Starbucks through most of the night baby Lisa went missing. Christy's team began to plan their own videotaped interviews with the parents.

You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat is sinking and you don't buy gold when the economy has already collapsed. Clearly others are heeding this advice as gold hit all time highs already this year. It's not too late for you too. And you could have Birch Gold help you diversify into physical gold.

Now there was a plane waiting, thanks to Christy Schiller. Bill and Phil headed to Kansas City. Once in the Kansas City area, in a rented house at a secret location away from the throngs of media, Phil and an associate interviewed Debra. Phil Houston had seen their press conferences and how they answered questions. Like so many of us, he already had his suspicions about the couple.

In a twist even he didn't see coming, Phil determined Deborah is telling the truth, that she had nothing to do with her daughter's disappearance. Well, I mean, I, like you, flew out there thinking they did it. It's always the parents. When the wife gets killed, it's always the husband. We all know this. And I remember being flabbergasted.

I just couldn't believe, like, what do you mean challenged all my own biases? But I think led to better reporting on my part in covering the case, right? Just check your bias. You could be wrong. Have some humility. There are people smarter than you are at detecting deception who say she's not lying and neither is Jeremy.

Armed with this knowledge, Christy Schiller anonymously offers a $100,000 reward for information leading to the return of baby Lisa. Bill Stanton made the announcement.

Until now, no one knew it was Christy who offered the reward, a secret she managed to keep even from her own husband.

Announcing the $100,000 reward was just one way Stanton kept the baby Lisa story in the news. But Bill had a problem.

And that's when he called me.

And I was thinking, sure, yes, I'm interested in this story at any level. But of course, what I would ultimately like is to talk to the parents. And that's where it landed. And, you know, explosive details came out that day. You know, it had its highs and lows for Deborah because that's when the public learned she had between six and ten drinks. Do you have a drinking problem? No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
I don't think so. Some folks are going to have an issue with you having more than five drinks while you're looking after a little baby and two little boys. She was sleeping.

That was always one of the biggest mysteries about this case.

There's so much we don't know about the evidence because Kansas City PD won't talk to us. They say that's because this is still an open investigation. We have our doubts about how much investigating is really going on, and for that matter, about how they handled this case. Now I'm joined by Phil Houston and Bill Stanton.

Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
The police really do seem to be guilty of some tunnel vision here. I mean, what we're learning already is that they're really interested, Phil, in Debra and Jeremy. And in the opening hours of an investigation, one can completely understand that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
And then you have Deborah admitting to excessive drinking, you know, to the point of possibly blacking out. And you have cops. saying that the parents stopped cooperating, which, you know, that leads everybody to be like, oh, that's it, they're guilty. She was done being interrogated over and over and over and over by police she definitely accurately believed had a foregone conclusion about her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
Plus just the odds, the overwhelming odds, you know, are she did it. That's the biggest obstacle to ruling her out. But let's spend a moment ruling her in. How does that look? What evidence does point to Debra?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
On that theory, she would also have to get out of the house and dispose of the remains and then get back into the bed before Jeremy gets home and sees her at what he said was sleeping. And he believed, and you know, and you're the spouse, you can tell when your spouse is legit asleep and when they're not, but keep going.

10-month-old baby Lisa Irwin disappeared in the middle of the night. Father Jeremy came home from his night shift at 3.45 a.m. and found the lights were on. A window was open, the screen pushed in, the front door unlocked, and his baby girl was not in her crib. Must be a reasonable explanation, he thought. His first instinct? Don't panic.

when every new mother knows they know you don't take your baby in your bed with her with you like it's very dangerous you can smother your baby inadvertently but some do it anyway i mean some don't know and then some do know but they take the risk anyway because they're exhausted and the child's crying a lot and they just make a mistake they fall asleep there and one thing leads to one other terrible thing but the fact that she had her two boys in the bed with her actually

No, she's not a sociopath. And she continues to talk to us, even though, you know, you guys know I've had many a very tough segment on Deborah on my various shows. I just feel like the actual murderer would not keep putting themselves in this harm's way. Can we talk about the next door neighbor, Samantha Brando, for a minute? Because while we have been unable to reach her,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
You guys did talk to her. You also put her through the Phil Houston treatment to find out whether it was true, what, that she was sitting with Deborah, that they were drinking together, that things went down the way Deborah said they did?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
Well, that could explain why Debra didn't hear an intruder for sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
That's true. So why didn't anyone ever come forward? If somebody stole this baby and did something with her, there's not one person who needed $100,000 enough to come forward and quietly say, I know what happened to her.

That would explain it if it were a sole actor who then kept his mouth shut. But that's one of the troubling things about this whole thing. Like if it was anybody who blabbed or if it were a group, somebody would have turned on somebody else and that just hasn't happened. So as it stands at this point, all eyes are on Debra. Debra.

In those critical early hours and days, Kansas City police, the FBI, the ATF, and a group of local volunteers searched the area. They did not find Lisa or any hard evidence. Within a week, a timeline of the day began to emerge. 2.30 p.m., Deborah's dad comes by with her brother, Philip Nutz. 4.45 p.m., Deborah and Philip go by Baby Formula and Boxed Wine.

Sometime around 10.30 to 11 p.m., Deborah said, she checked on baby Lisa, then went down the hall and got in bed with the two boys. Before bed, Deborah leaves three cell phones on the kitchen counter, two with restricted use because of nonpayment. It is believed only one worked normally. They all end up missing. 10.30 p.m. Samantha Brando is back home.

I remember at the time I first got sent to Kansas City, Missouri, I had my own baby girl in a crib at home and just couldn't fathom what it would be like to go in to check on her in the middle of the night or go get her in the morning and see an empty crib. Speaking to her parents at the time was a before and after moment for me. It was shocking for the reasons that you will hear in this series.

She reportedly later said that she noticed the lights were turned off at Deborah and Jeremy's house. Some leads quickly emerged with possible sightings of a kidnapper. The next morning, seven-year-old Blake tells police he heard noises during the night. Also the next morning, the Parscals, who lived around the corner, told police what they had seen.

Was Lisa the baby in the man's arms? More suspicious things happen in those early hours. 2.30 a.m. There's a dumpster fire in a parking lot not too far from the Parscals' house. Could this be related? At 2.45 a.m., a nearby BP gas station surveillance camera shows a man in a light t-shirt emerging from the woods that bordered the neighborhood.

It's too dark and grainy to see if he's carrying anything. And then, as I reported for Fox News at the time, Deborah's first account of her timeline gets a serious revision. Turns out she was drinking more than she originally claimed, and she's no longer sure about when she last saw her baby girl. When you went in at 10.30 after the neighbor left, what did you do? Probably went right to my room.

Probably. More than ten? No. Was it just wine or was there other alcohol?

Were you drunk?

Baby Goes Missing, Mother Questioned - Part 1 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1022
So the last time Debra is sure she saw Lisa was at 6.30 p.m., before she started drinking. Could something have happened accidentally? Maybe Lisa fell or was dropped, or Debra unknowingly rolled over on her while they slept. Or worse, did she deliberately kill her own child? At the very least, Debra is drunk and unreliable. It was a tough interview. I went pretty hard on you. Very difficult.

You fessed up. You said, I had a lot of drinks that night, someplace between 6 and 10, and I think I blacked out. Now, a lot of people wouldn't have admitted that. A lot of people would not have sat down with the press and said that at all. They would have been worried that it would have made them look some certain way. I didn't care how I looked.

That's what, how a normal wife sounds. Right. The normal partner would say, Hey, Harry thinks this, right. No one would find that ostentatious. No. H sounds ostentatious. Um, and that's the other thing I noticed. Um, If you look at the first couple of episodes, every comment she makes is about herself. She's got her friend, Uncle Daniel's there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And then there's the Argentinian woman and then there's a chef she brings in and Mindy Kaling. So there are no questions or comments about them, except there's one in episode one and there's one in episode two. And if you go back and look at them, they're voiced over. Really?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
She clearly was told after the fact, you know, it might be nice if we kind of had you track like a question to Daniel about himself to set up that comment he made. And it's all voiceover. If anything she asks of the guest was laid in after the fact, you can see the break.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It's like someone had to coach her on how to be a normal person who's an actual friend who has interest in something other than themselves.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And then after the show, it was so cute because they let the girls come out in their costumes. And all the little girls who were there looked up to them like they were real Broadway stars, were asking for pictures with them. They were a little afraid of Yardley because she was Ursula. So the little ones were a little like, oh. And then they saw her big smile.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yes. Like her, her greenhouse where, you know, she just sits. All I could think was that must be actually so buggy in real life, but okay. So they go out there. Yes. Cause we all have several settings in our enormous, you know, football field size garden where like we can sit and have tea with our friends. It's all perfectly curated again and absolutely visually stunning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And the other thing about it is you have, there's so much to get to. We're You have such inanity happening in the conversation. These are not clever people. This is not like having tea with Maureen Callahan or Megyn Kelly. No, truly. And so everything is heavily produced with track, with soundtrack, you know, the light jazz, like the festive jazz playing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And so like they don't have to talk, which I'm sure the producers are like more track.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And she was like, cue the lemon heads, whoever it was. She's like, cue the platters. I can't remember, forgive me. But then in comes the music while she's sifting the sugar. Your point about Mindy being like, no, but the person I hire does. Now, okay. Even I do not hire anybody to do my kids' birthdays and I have very few domestic bones in my body.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
it was, that is the stuff life is made of.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
The most I will hire is somebody to blow up the, like, you know, like a bouncy castle or whatever. Which is a professional thing. You need someone to do that. I don't know how to do that. And Doug's not handy. Handsy, but not handy. So you made this point in one of your articles on the Daily Mail. And I was like, that's exactly it. That's the moment you know who this show is for.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Because I was watching the whole thing like, who is this for? Who is this appealing? And you said it's for the 1%. The 1% who was like, yes, my person does all of this. Or I was talking about this with my hairstylist, Sarah, and a friend of hers who came over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
while I was watching some of this, and they were both saying, I'm like, maybe the women in this town will produce a birthday party like that or will make a meal like that. But I don't think so, because the women I know in this town are actually active moms. They are bringing their kids to school. They are making their own dinner. They don't have eight hours to freaking prepare that meal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
They've got to do the household stuff. They've got to go to the grocery store. So who is it for? And one of the gals was saying, it's for...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
staff of women like that in like the next level communities where I guess everybody has a cook who can sit around all day watching Meghan Markle and her fancy chef show them how to parboil chicken and then brine chicken and then work for eight hours to make little chicken wings, which most of us making fried chicken would just stick in some Crisco.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
That's what everybody says. Yeah. Everybody who works for her quits. Everybody says she's a bully. She's very nasty. Not only is she incredibly controlling, but she's a bitch about it to everybody who works for her. When things inevitably start spiraling downward, she blames everyone but herself. Okay, wait, I wanted to rewind because there's so many points.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
She's big into these crudite boards, veggie and or fruit. And this was one of the most every, every mother out there will understand. She wants us to put together a fruit crudite board for our children in the morning. Look, Maureen. I can't. Look at this. I can't. I can't. It is huge.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It starts with strawberries and then it has raspberries and then it has apricots and then it has mandarin oranges and then it has pineapples and then it has blueberries and then you finish it up with dollops of yogurt. Now, I literally, I want... I'd love to have a running clock and how long it would take me to go, let's do something fancy, Whole Foods, right? Where you get the true organic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
To go and shop for, what's that, eight fruits? get all the fruits, get them home, wash them, let them dry up, cut them all up, cutting like teeny tiny apricot pieces up, not to mention pineapples, which is a pain in the ass. Oh, and then bananas too. I forgot she added those as well. And then laying them out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And she's like, if you don't have time to do this big thing, you can just do it like a single plate style. That alone with all I just said, with cutting and buying and cleaning and chopping would be probably an hour. My warning is like, here is a piece of toast. I am Martha Stewart. You're welcome. When my guest comes, I had a guest come over last night because they came to see me at the play.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And I was my own Martha. I gave them a glass of water as they went to bed. You're welcome. I'm like hostess with the mostest. Who the hell is putting corn on the cob in the microwave to pop their own popcorn and making the bows and then doing the fruit platter extravaganza for their children?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And she says, you know, because I'm a busy mom and this is how mornings are as I get the kids off to school. You're making fruit parfait crudités boards?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Standby. Should we have this? I think they're saying we have this. So is this not six, you guys? We'll watch it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Oh, good God. Keep going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yeah, totally. They're like, they've got it all in front of them. And like they're, these are, I really think like our future leaders, our future mothers, it's just like, there's so much promise there. They all did such a wonderful job. Every girl in her own way just had her own special thing. And the costume designer was amazing. The woman who ran the play, the director, all of them,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Oh, right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You've never seen anything so beautiful and enormous. I laugh because, of course, she's got the French pressed coffee, you know, like the perfect everything. Literally this morning when our guests were here, I... I confess, I'm not even good at making coffee. I'm seriously bad in the kitchen. People know this about me. And normally, now Doug and I have a coffee maker in our bedroom now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
That's how we start our day. But we do have one in the kitchen and now we had a guest. So I had to make the coffee down in the kitchen. And it's kind of a highfalutin coffee machine. I don't totally understand it, to be honest. I'll take a picture and I'll post it. Well, let's just say it didn't go well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I don't know how I screwed up making coffee, Maureen, but next thing I knew, it sounded like it was brewing. Next thing I knew, it started to bubble out of the part where you put the grinds in. It started to bubble out of the top, and I was like, whoa. So I pulled it, and hot coffee went all over with the ground, all over the counter and the floor. Oh, my God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Like I, so for some reason it didn't drip, it didn't drip into the carafe, but like, this is me. I'm looking at her in her white, her French press and her perfectly made donuts and her, you know, fruit crudités, whatever. And there I am, like, I can't even make a damn coffee. Now I realize most women are better than I am.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But, and by the way, speaking of how I am, my team has apparently put together a little highlight reel of how, and I know I'm not alone. I am not the only woman who is this way, but just, just so you know what, full disclosure, this is how I am. Give it that. The more butter, the better. The more butter, the better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
We're going to place those right in there. Oh, it's not going well already. I got rid of the skin. Oh, that's kind of gross. Put them in there. What's that? These are carrots.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
What do I press on the food processor?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
This was top quality. I'm telling you, this thing was like Broadway. So we did that. And Yardley had a friend who surprised her, her best friend from the summers where, you know, we go to the Jersey shore. She surprised her. And when Yardley saw her, her jaw literally dropped. They cried. We all came back to our house after that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
When I'm serving breakfast and I want to make an omelet, how do I make it a flat white omelet instead of an enormous fluffy yellow omelet, which I don't like? Well, if you want white versus yellow, you take the yolks out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Oh, God. I'm getting called in for extra help. There was so many epic fails. There was one, I tried to like make a stuffed turkey. Yeah. And I had to take the stuff, like the stuff out of the turkey. It was, is that a video? Do you guys have a video of that? All right. Hang on. It's coming. My team is ready. They're ready for today. Watch it. It's a chicken.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
My hands are just kind of... It's disgusting. Look. Look. Look how gross it is. Ew.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No, you and I are going to recreate the Meghan Markle extravaganza. It's happening. And rule number one, you will hear us actually ask a question of the other person that is about the other person that isn't all fishing for a compliment about one's self. Correct. We have a little SOT montage of that. Here's SOT 2.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Look what I did for you. I got to set early. I made you this. This is exactly how I did it. I spared no expense. And did I mention my flower sprinkles, which are all over every episode as if any of us has the ability to make a fucking flower sprinkle jar. What is that? That's merchandise hawking. She wants us to go to her website and buy her stupid flower sprinkles, which is not a thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
All right, stand by. I have to take a quick break. We're not done, weirdly, but it's Friday. Let's have a fun. All right, stand by. Four years of crushing interest rates, runaway inflation, and reckless government spending, and who is paying the price? You are. You might have bills stacking up. You might have debt collectors on your back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Let's just say that there was too much champagne flowing too late in the evening for the grown-up half of this party. I am a slightly hungover. I'm not hungover. I'm just really tired. I only had one. But I'm tired, and I'm still on a high from the whole play. And then... I spent the morning watching that fucking Meghan Markle special, and it sobered me right up. Oh, oh, oh, I'm so sorry.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You might barely be able to keep food on the table, and that's stressful. Done with debt can be a way out. These guys have developed a new aggressive strategy, many of them actually, designed to get you out of debt permanently without bankruptcy and without loans. Done with debt will stand between you and your bill collectors.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Parents may love when their children receive one. I don't know those parents. Most of us are like, why did you give my child all these things that they could choke on? And that's just going to clog up my non-existing junk drawers. But she's she claims parents love it. And by the way, it is the gift bags are the bane of my existence. Thank God my children have aged out of that phase of life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But I I object to them on a fundamental level. I have invited you to my child's party. You know, we got a bouncy castle. I gave you cake and a ton of pizza and like maybe a magician, whatever you do. Why are you getting anything more than that? You give me a gift. My kid gets a gift. I don't have to give you a gift. Why am I giving your kid a gift? I gave him all his entertainment.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I took him for the afternoon. I plunged him full of food and good times. And then on top of it, I have to give him a present? It makes no sense. This is another thing for the host of the birthday party to have to do. So I'm against them. Of course she's not. And... So she talks about how to prepare the perfect gift bag for your child and your child's friends. And here is a bit of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And then she does her calligraphied name tags and little mini bees as an homage to her beehive on every bag.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So little garden tools, I'm like, your one toddler would use that against the other toddlers like that. Next thing you know, somebody's lost an eye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Dig deep and you'll find it. There was a line there that I was like, what did they just say? It was Daniel, sweet Daniel, who said something about that cake, which I actually wrote down because I was like, what? That was like subversive. Hold on a second. Oh, she's an all white. The cake. First of all, he apologizes for having to taste something that they were making together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And you can see she shoots him a look like. Oh, he snuck a taste of the jam.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
The preserves. Off of a spoon that she had given him that he was supposed to use to spoon it like into the, I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It's no problem. I'll get you another one. Another scene, she drops a blueberry and she's like, Oh, dropped a blueberry. Okay. Calm down. You're fine. Hold on. He says, Oh, about the cake. You just don't know how good she is until you cut her open. I'm like, Whoa, what's going on there? And then I made a mark. I will have jazz piano playing while serving all cake in the future. Like, okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Nobody does that. But yeah, the little kids' party favors were ridiculous. No parent of a... She's got toddlers, very young kids. It's going to give their kids those mini sharp tools. By the time you get them home, someone will have lost a body part. Okay, here's the other problem for me in this. She gave an interview to People Magazine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And in the People Magazine article, she says she loves building this... safe haven and show with her daughter, um, as part of her as ever brand. And she says, being able to have my own little girl, as I've spent so much of my life championing the rights of girls and women, and to be able to see this as a multi-generational story, Archie is of course included in that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
My, my husband is of course included in that story. But I love the heritage feeling of it and knowing this is something that I can create in front of my daughter and teach her what it's like to be a working mom. This is not what it's like to be a working mom. What it's like to be a working mom is to come downstairs with no makeup on. You're barely out of your pajamas and you're like, did you eat?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Let's go. You're late. Get your backpack. Come on. If you do this again, I'm not bringing it to you at school. Let's go. Right. Get some, grab anything. Doesn't matter what the sugar content is. That, this is such a farce. Nevermind dinner. Like I was saying, you know, it's like this guy comes, some professional chef, you're making the multi-sauced chicken wings.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It's like, as you point out, you want chicken wings. There's only one way we all get chicken wings. We all fucking order chicken wings. That's what we do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
The deep hug. Wasn't it her special? It was their first Netflix special, I thought. Perhaps. Remember she was like, and we donate a backpack or we give food out of our curated backpacks to random homeless people on the way to school.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Well, how about she's talking about how she, she goes to yoga now. And, um, that was in, oh, that was on Drew, Drew Barrymore. Is that a soundbite? Do we have that? Oh, it was people? Okay, I can't keep track of it. Yeah, but she's talking about how she goes to yoga classes that sometimes have 40 to 50 people in them now. And then I just walk in like, hi, she says laughing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Of course, at the beginning, that felt like a lot, a lot. By the way, I think anyone walking into a yoga class with 50 people and everyone looks up, it's going to feel a little uncomfortable, but now I love it. It's the best. I had missed it. Okay. So she's just, you know, it's a lot for her to go into the yoga class when everybody looks up at her. She loves it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
This is why she wanted to partner with Harry. So she would become as famous as Harry and be the darling of the world. But now she wants us to see that it's a burden for her until she could really get over this ostracizing fame and be seen as a woman of the people. And now she's accepted. Okay, no one believes that. Mm-hmm. And then she goes on. Okay. Then she goes on Drew Barrymore and she, okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I want to get my, my thoughts together. She talks about, uh, okay. This is the moment sought eight that we want to, we want to see let's play it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Instead of zebra. Here's more. I saw 12.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Okay, so again, this is not how any normal working mom... She's not a working mom. What is she working at? She's done this special, and she did that other lame podcast, like 12 episodes. That's it. Someone does all the work. Literally, somebody has bought the Le Creuset. Somebody has prepared the chicken. Someone has cut the vegetables and the fruit for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
She hasn't touched a thing, except for those probably two hours a day she's on camera to do these ridiculous... faux photo shoots. But somehow I found time to record myself reading a thin book to the children. This is ridiculous, Maureen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I we're going to have more on this later, but I'm excited, excited to bring this to you. We want it like we could have had it over this Christmas break and it wasn't quite ready. I wanted it to be even better. And I love it. I love where it is now. And I think you guys are going to love it too. But I got, okay, there's a lot going on. First of all, it's such a great Friday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Oh, you see the jaw set? We got to show it. Okay, so Mindy Kaling. First, episode one, I just want to say this observation before we get to that. So what I observed was episode one was her makeup artist, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Well, that's that's that's the other thing. Can I just say, like, you're watching her. She made such a big deal out of like her race and the royal family's racism. And everybody's worried about how brown the babies are allegedly going to be, which, of course, you know, turned out to be bullshit because then Harry walked it all back. But I'm like, this person looks whiter than I am. Like how?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And she even said when her race became like it was never an issue. She never thought of herself as black. Right. But then when it became convenient, when we had Black Lives Matter and George Floyd, that now suddenly she's leaning into her black lineage as though she's really suffered the American story. It's that's a bullshit lie, too. Where's the soul food on the show?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
OK, so that's enough of her because it was fun, but we have to move on. Um, yeah, that's what they said, by the way, just to put some, uh, some more details to that New York post page six reporting. She's been dropped by WME, Ari Emanuel's agency. WME says it is still working with her, but in very benign vanilla terms.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So I actually believe the report, all they said was WME continues to represent Megan and Archwell. Now, there would be more, typically, if you had a report that was that wrong. Yeah. Because the report by Page Six is very detailed, saying an insider said she was let go, she was too demanding, she is difficult to work with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
They talked about that outburst in January of 2024, right after the holidays, demanding a meeting, expected decks and plans. Unclear if this is for herself or Archwell, but... This led to a dispute. Ari Emanuel was done with her. The incident was confirmed by yet another source.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And yet another Hollywood source told us, quote, I don't know what those projects are, but WME is definitely not working on Megan's personal business. So this is what happens to her wherever she goes. People wind up distancing herself because she's annoying and she's a bully and she's highly unpleasant. And as they said in the London Times in a
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
February 6th article, quote, she had a Messiah complex. According to one of the couple's former staffers, she was focused on how she could become the best known and most loved member of the royal family. And when she realized she couldn't, she peaced out. Okay. American royalty, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria, or is that Spanish royalty? Unclear. I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So like, that's somebody who works, works for you. You know, like it's fine. You can become friends with your makeup artist and I'm friends with my hairstylist, but this guy was an employee of hers for all of her past. And while they were like, he's so close, the children call him uncle Daniel. There was a moment where he was like, oh, your wedding cake, that reminds me of your wedding cake.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
When everybody was looking elsewhere, they decided to launch a reality show of their own, which is just so weird, given the fact that the biggest thing he's been in the news for has been killing a woman. It seems like kind of odd timing. Um, but here's just a little taste of the show. Um, she was asked about her fake accents, which is a good thing to be asked about. And here's what she said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Okay, no one ever gave her a hard time for mixing the two. People who are truly fluent in two languages sometimes will mix a word in here. Right. It's pretending that you forgot your English words that we've given, like this famous, infamous video. It's just six seconds, not 20.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
How do you say in English? Oh, cucumber.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yep.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And he's like, I tasted your wedding cake. And I was like, that's a weird thing to say. Who says that? And the reason he said that, it soon became clear, was because he went to the tasting with her to actually try out the wedding. He did not go to the wedding. Her dear friend, Uncle Daniel. That's a great observation. Very clearly wasn't invited to her wedding. I just assumed he was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Totally. I think... Look, she's a very odd person. I don't know of another person who pretends they're from another country. That's a strange thing to do. It really is. And she's done it repeatedly. If this is how the series is going to be, where she gets away with not actually addressing the thing, it's going to fail, right? The only way these things work is if...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You actually press somebody on the controversy and then they say the truth and you have some fun at their expense. That's why the Real Housewives actually work because they're not spared anything. And there's real stakes. Yeah. So here, just because we're on the subject and I love it, here she is in January, 2023. It is more than mixing English and Spanish. She is all American.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Again, she's from a very nice suburb of Boston and went to a Tony private school there and is not in any way from Spain. OK, she grew up speaking English. Here she is in Sat 21.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It's ridiculous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Get out of the frame. She, of course, is. I mean, she she would come on The Today Show all the time trying to promote whatever. Like there you saw her doing her cooking. She's just like Meghan Markle trying to build like a lifestyle brand. What's that? Deb W. W. Canadian Debbie's recommending something. Let's watch it. It's not 15.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No, why else would you be like, oh, I remember tasting the cake. And the way they were talking about it was clear, like, that was his one shot at the cake. Uncle Daniel is clearly a prop brought in who had to be nice to her because she was paying him. And then she's like, remember... I was lost in the wilderness. That was when I only had an agent. I didn't have a PR person. Oh, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So Alec has been stressed out by the Helena Hutchins situation. That's what she wants us to know. So do we believe that it's the stress around that? I mean, I'm sure he was because he was facing criminal charges, which is stressful. But, you know, when you saw him like in his public interviews, he was very defiant. You know, he wasn't like, please forgive me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
My God, this is so he was defiant and angry. So this must be a rehabilitation show, right? Like where they're trying to soften us on him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I never pulled the trigger. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Didn't have a manager. Yeah. I was a real woman of the people back then with just my heavy, high-powered agent. And I used to call you for tips like, what's hot? What's on trend? What's on trend in the makeup department? We're supposed to be relating to her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yeah. Yep. I have a friend whose daughter has it bad. Really? And it can be inherited. And I actually wonder because I don't have OCD, but I used, like when I was at my most stressed out as a lawyer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I was doing an OCD thing of obsessively counting. I would count every footstep. And especially when it came to stairs, I couldn't go up stairs without counting them, no matter how many stairs. So you could be quietly like at the Duomo and somebody would just look over and be like, how many? And I'd have the exact number. It was like a stress... coping mechanism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And then as soon as I got, and then that's, that's actually the reason I first got into therapy back when I was a lawyer. Like I think I'm managing stress poorly. And once I did do talk therapy, it kind of went away. It still comes back a little, like I, I do count in my head. Like if you get me on numbers, like I'll just keep doing them like in sequences.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So I think a lot of people, and I did read someplace that a lot of very successful people have some form of OCD. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Yeah. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Of course it would be. Who else would spend that number of hours in the backyard with a soccer ball, you know, doing the kick over and like they show just over and over and over, like the amount of times you have to do it in order to become David Beckham, right? I don't know. So- That's interesting because I have never had real anxiety.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
She's just like us with her agent and her makeup artist calling for what's on trend to Uncle Daniel, who clearly will not be invited to the actual wedding. So that's number one. Then we get to number two, where Mindy Kaling comes on, who also is not a friend. Agreed. She came on her podcast, like archetypes. And that's when they met, which was what, two years ago?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You know, we've talked about this before, but I'll get tired, you know, I'll definitely get tired, but I kind of see them as opposites, you know, like being like wired, you know, like being torqued up. I'm rarely that way. I'm more like, I need a nap. But then I can I tell you, I went out to one of those conferences and they gave me in the like gift bag.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
What is that stuff called that I was just taking? It was everybody's taking it. I'll get you. I'll get a picture of it. But it's supposed to be like this new thing for people over 50. It's like it's supposed to bring you energy and keep you young. And I was just like in my gift bag like an idiot. I started taking it. I'm like, I'll give it a try. And it did make me feel more energetic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And I have been sleeping so poorly for the past three weeks. It just dawned on me. It's probably this damn random bottle of supplements that I just started. And I just stopped taking it. And I've been sleeping like a baby.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Well, two different things. So if I'm working too much and doing like no self-nurturing, I'll just get unhappy. Like I'll notice I'm not happy. There's not enough joy in my day. I haven't like laughed enough and whatever. I'm feeling cranky, you know? So that's number one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But when I'm truly stressed, like I'm thinking back to the post-NBC period, like at the immediate period where it was genuinely stressful. Like I felt truly bad stress, the kind that gives you cancer, that kind. And it was the only time in my life where I seriously considered an antidepressant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
but I wouldn't because I was like, there is no fucking way. Andy lack is getting me on an antidepressant. I refuse. And I didn't do it. And I know it's a weird thing to have a personal point of pride on, but I do, you know, I just feel like he never broke me. He, he kicked me. I was down, but I didn't stay down. And I got back up on my own. You ever, um, but that, that stress was, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
manifested in obsessive thinking. Interesting. Where like, you just, you can think of nothing else, even though you have these beautiful children around you. And of course my life was still grand and wonderful and Doug and great friends. And you do find out in those moments who your friends are, which is another blessing. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But still obsessive thinking where like, you can't think about anything else. And this is, you know, this is damaging.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Sometimes. I mean that I agree when it's big, you must, there's no way forward without feeling it for a while and having a good cry and feeling sorry for yourself for a couple of days.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But only a couple. And then you got to pick yourself up, touch yourself off and move forward. But yeah, On the smaller things in my life, I've now become such a big fan of cognitive behavioral therapy. I was going to ask you if you had done that. I spend almost no time mired in the badness now. Like if somebody's whatever attacking me or something bad happens in my life, like I acknowledge it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I understand what's happening. And then I focus not at all. And I will say, I know it's controversial. but this is something Scientology does very well. This is interesting. All cults have their positives. Yeah. Yeah. This is something about Scientology that I admire. They're very, you know, you get labeled a suppressive person, an SP. Yes. And you can't like, I knew a Scientologist pretty well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So this is not some lifelong bud thing. So Mindy Kaling comes and they clearly didn't know each other. You could see there was an awkwardness.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And this person decided they didn't like me. And this person told everybody around them to never mention my name to this person. Like I was dead to them. And I get the logic, you know, it's like, I'm just going to cut this person out of my life in every way I can so that I don't have to be irritated by them anymore.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And so, well, I didn't really care about this person's fondness for me or not, but I'm like, I kind of get it. And that's kind of what I do. Right. I don't have to think about you at all if you're bothering me. I can just think about, I have so many other things I can think about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And I've told my audience this before, but if it's like a earworm, I have a song I always use that gets the earworm out of my ear. Really? And it's a catchy song that's not an earworm itself. It's the song Up on the Roof. I'll have to use this. And I will sometimes use that to rejigger the negative thinking about whatever, somebody who's on my nerves or something bad that's happening in my life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I don't know. Something about that song works for me. It's not about like, I just love that song. It's just, it rejiggers things. When this old world starts getting you down and people are just too much for me to take up on the roof. You know that song? I know that song. Yeah, it works. I don't know. It could be anything for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Is it hard for you to move on? Like when you lose a friend? It was harder in my twenties. I lost a friend recently. You did? Over politics. And... It was an upsetting evening where I was like, whoa, what's happening here? And then I had to tell you the next day I was over it. Amazing. Yeah, because I was like, this person has shown me who they are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I've received new information, which is this person prizes politics over our friendship. And I didn't know that prior to last night. So that's a gift for me to know. And this is not the right person for me because I am a very political person now, you know, I'm a very opinionated kind of can't avoid my opinions if you're online, you know, and following me on any social media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
So that's not the one for me. I, I, I'm very good at moving on from people who, you know, wind up not to be for me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
I had somebody say, we did a friendship special over this past summer. It was great. Steve, find out the episode for me, will you? And she said, the average friendship lasts seven years. Really? And I thought that was really interesting. Cause if you kind of look at your life, that, that tracks for me, like you kind of go through different phases.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You have some people who will make it the whole duration and that's a gift, but like seven years, that makes some sense. Um, and I don't know, it's just like if a relationship ends because of an argument, you know, because somebody's passed a very negative judgment on you or the things that are important to you, it's like, Oh, okay. Bye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You know, like that it's not sad because you're losing something that's not good to have in your life anyway, that isn't the valuable thing you thought it was. There could be some disappointment around, oh, I was wrong about having this special thing. Right. But like the disappointment shouldn't be around losing that because you never had it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Like you didn't, you didn't have the thing you thought you had.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No, because I always say like, I have tons of liberal friends, tons, but we just don't talk politics. And that's how we keep a friendship. Like I don't need them to believe as I do. And they don't need me to believe as they do. But I think this particular person is definitely of the left and has been in New York city for a while getting talked up,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
by her leftist friends about me because they see me much more aligned with Trump now. And so for some people, like I was an acceptable option when I was adverse to Trump, but on the right. But pro-Trump on the right is a special category of problem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And, you know, there are definitely campaigns, I think, for some of my leftist friends amongst their friends for like, why would you be friends with her? Why? You know, she's she's doing the devil's work out there being friends with Trump. Now, if that works on you, are you really my friend to begin with? Like, no, my true friends would be like, don't be absurd. You don't know her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
But the ones that that would work on, yes, that's new information. That shouldn't be somebody I should be sharing my secrets with anyway.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
No, it can be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
And then you like, you don't have to get rid of them, but you've got to put them in a different category for sure. Right. Because it's like, that's not somebody you're going to share your most intimate thoughts and vulnerabilities with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Right. Like, you got to have your guard up with that person, which you don't with friends. So like that's, there's a betrayal in there because when you're with friends, you don't have your guard up. It's your full, most vulnerable. Exactly. You're showing your belly for sure. Exactly. And so then you can't get hit professionally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You can't get hit for, you know, who you are in your professional life or judged for it when you're, you know, sharing the things that you're insecure about or, you know, your health stuff or your kids stuff, whatever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
We've got Maureen Callahan here, and that's exactly who needs to be here today, columnist for the Daily Mail. One in two adults have high blood pressure. Many don't even know it. That's a ticking time bomb. But here's the good news. You have the power to take control naturally with 120 Life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
That was the one thing. There was an episode, I think, four, where she had two friends come over who were supposedly longer friends in her life. I don't buy it. There was none of the, like... I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
It's weird, but like sort of almost grooming and body language that will appear between two very lifelong friends where like, you're just looking out for the other, you're making sure everything's good. Right. You make references to like longstanding jokes. Right. There's a familiarity there. I just don't buy it. That's why George Clooney was at her wedding. You know, she didn't have family.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
She didn't have lifelong friends. It appears even Daniel wasn't there. It's she's not even for a touch up. Everything is artifice. Yeah. You know, like the show is artifice. Her life is artifice. And that's why like this deep insecurity is all about. I have no friends. I have no people. I only have the next station to reach. And therefore you can't have the fucking blueberry fall on the floor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Totally. Like I just threw this on. I don't know how I got to be wearing this entirely cashmere white outfit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
You can't have the white outfit, get a spec on it. You know, everything has to be absolutely. Daniel cannot have a spoonful of the jam before it's time. Yeah. Even though it's a joyful act, is it not?

speaking of relationships, Maureen, more fuel on the fire that there's a potential, maybe a divorce or some sort of rockiness going on in the Obama's relationship. They both posted these mirrored, very choreographed Valentine's day messages on X, but he was just seen at an LA, uh, whatever that it's the other, the basketball team, um, What's it called? I can't remember the name. The Clippers.

Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Well, when I first saw that he was seen at a basketball game without her, I'm like, well, that's no big deal. Doug would go to a basketball game without me all the time. I would I would say go without me. But then when I heard, then he went on to meet with their daughters. Like there was, I mean, you know how it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Like every parent who's got girls who are in college is like dying to spend time with their daughters. And so this is an opportunity to see both of them and she's not there. So I don't know why, but this just keeps happening. And that Valentine's day message was so ridiculously. And like I said, choreographed here was the here was what they wrote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Meghan Markle's Cringe Netflix Show, Bizarre Baldwins Reality Show, and Obama Divorce Rumblings, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 1021
Um, this is the last public acknowledgement of each other. Uh, she wrote, if there's one person I can always count on, it's you at Barack Obama. You're my rock. Always have been, always will be happy Valentine's day, honey. And then he wrote 32 years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine's day at Michelle Obama. It just doesn't feel organic at all. It reads bloodlessly.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and happy Friday. We're going into Super Bowl weekend, everybody. I told you Doug and I are going to go. This is the first time we've ever been. We were invited by the CEO of YouTube and we said yes. I met him when I was in Washington for the inauguration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Well, the other question is, in California, exactly what... program, what college program are they funneling these trans students into? Because the NCAA came out after Trump's executive order saying we will comply 100%. Boys are no longer welcome to play in girls sports under the moniker trans. Sorry, but we're complying.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And they seem to me relieved to finally have had somebody at the federal level give very clear guidance before it was Okay, let each individual sport decide whether it's fair or not. You could see that these athletic organizations like the NCAA were tying themselves in knots, trying not to be the one to say we want a blanket ban.

I mean, within two seconds, this guy said, yeah, we'll do what Trump said. So think of it. You're out in California. You're on a girls' volleyball team. Half the team is boys posing as girls, and the college recruiters come. Well, guess what? Not a single one of those boys is going to be able to play college volleyball for girls. Not a single one. So what does that mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Are they more likely to go visit your team? I would venture to say no. They're actually probably not that interested in you because they know you're mostly boys, not girls, and they're out recruiting for girls. And what happens to those trans kids, those so-called trans kids? Nothing. They won't be playing college athletics if they don't do something to just activate a lane for trans people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
That's what they should be working on, a meaningful lane for trans people to play sports in their own lane, or they can play as what they are, biological boys. But instead, we have this defiance, which makes them feel good, Victor, but sets no one up for success.

Anyway, we'll talk in a minute about what Trump is saying about the Super Bowl because he's going to, and I'm actually hoping I'm going to be able to see him while he's there. And what the ads, because you always get the preview of the ads that they're going to drop, what they tell us about where America is in 2025.

I agree. Oh, I love what you said. It's like the fever broke. That's how it feels. Yes, it does. We're all in this horrible, sick period, and now the fever broke, and we're out, and we can live normally. Yeah. But there's hangers-on who enjoyed the fever, the ones who love misery. They're miserable, and they want you to be too. And most of them are at MSNBC and CNN.

And so you can see them holding on to the last vestiges of wokeism, like, no, I won't let it go. It made me feel superior and better than you. And I'm going to give you a couple of examples of that just to prove my point. I'll start on CNN, where a trans-athlete activist named Chris Mosier – had the following to say in Sat 13.

I mean, it's very telling and it's very interesting. Gosh, there's so many punctuations on storylines we've all been talking about together for the past couple of years. It's just such an inflection point right now in our society with Trump taking over in the two weeks. Everything's on fire in a great way, unless you're a leftist, in which case you're still crying in your soup. I can't help you.

Never happened. Look at Leah Thomas towering, towering over his competitor. I can't, is that Riley? I can't even tell. Yeah, that is Riley Gaines with whom he tied for fifth place in that infamous race in which they let him hold the trophy, not her. But look at this guy. I mean, he's, look at this, Victor. This is from the NCAA championships a couple years ago. He's towering over them.

He was in the 500s in his ranking as a male the previous season. He crossed over to female. They let him play without doing anything. And he dominated. He won. He was in first place in many of these races. Just not for nothing. But female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender rivals competing against them in women's sport.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
According to the United Nations, the study called Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports stated that more than 600 female athletes have been bested at various events by competitors born male. let's say 600 in four and more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And yet CNN wants to let this person get on there and say, there's no evidence that trans athletes have an advantage over any, I mean, our eyes belie the claim. So why would CNN do that? Victor? Why are, why are they doing that? Right. They can't let go.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
So there's another example I want to show you while we're on the subject of CNN. I could be doing this all day on MSNBC too, but CNN at least is trying to claim that they're more fair and balanced, which is not true. Um, they're really not letting go of the race thing. So they've got this show on hosted by Abby Phillip, who is as woke as they come on every issue.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
She thinks she's downtrodden poor her, uh, because she's a black woman and therefore we're supposed to be, be feeling sorry for her. She made that very clear in a segment the other night, but she makes it clear in pretty much all of her segments. So this is a segment in which she had on two black women as guests and She is a black woman and two white men as well, along with one white woman.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Oh, well, anyway. Um, and they're, they're, they're getting really upset about the spending cuts. You know, we're, we're going to have a guest, a first time guest on the show today named Mike Solana. He's after VDH who's up first. He's the editor in chief of a publication called pirate wars.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And the two white men are names that our audience probably knows. Scott Jennings, who's the only fair guy over there on CNN and a Republican, and our pal Arthur Idalla, who's a lawyer. I mean, he doesn't often do political commentary, but he's doing some over on CNN. He got completely ambushed. I mean, honestly, all these women are extremely successful.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
It's incredibly frustrating to watch that kind of thing, Victor. I mean, I guarantee Abby Phillip was out there just as bad as the other two. I guarantee you she's making over a million dollars. And yet she's still, like Michelle Obama, wants us to think this is a racist, sexist country that won't reward her adequately for her talents. And then you got this other girl over there.

And he, he's, his target audience is like, uh, why, why is, I mean, uh, 20 guys in their twenties and thirties who are in tech. And he makes a really interesting point. He dropped this great piece. And in his piece, he raises the point that, boy, they're really freaking out over the cuts to USAID. And they're really freaking out over possible cuts to the Department of Education.

Her name is Carrie Champion. No, sorry. Uh, I was Ashley Allison, Abby Phillip and Carrie champion. All three of them were given them the hard, the business. And she's going, I don't have the same opportunity. I've been the least paid in all my jobs. How do you know that's due to your color and your gender, right? Maybe you were the youngest. Maybe you had the least experience.

Maybe you didn't and you actually just weren't that talented. I've seen you on TV. You're fine. You're not a star. You're never going to get your own show. There's a reason they haven't offered it to you yet. It's not because you're a black woman because you're on the show of a black woman. Clearly, CNN doesn't have a problem with that. Maybe you're just not that talented.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Maybe you're not quite as good on television or in the White House for Obama, who I don't think has a bias against black women, as you think you are. But this is their chance to get out there, even though the nation has just issued a referendum on the nonsense around this kind of thinking, to say, you're all wrong. We're victims.

I'll tell you in a second what they're doing there today. We're not really seeing the protests in the street about deporting the immigrants. about closing the border, about the trans executive orders, about the DEI executive orders. He's so right.

And that brings me to the Department of Education this morning, where the Democrats get a little insurrection-y this morning over there in their fight, not just with Trump, but with Elon Musk. They try to like storm the building. But meanwhile, it's like, We don't even have a Trump-appointed DOE chief. It's Linda McMahon, but she hasn't even had her confirmation hearing scheduled.

It's based on something so anti-American, like so and so unfair in the case of the sports. One other point on that, Megan Rapinoe, famous women's soccer star. Again, she's just like Abby Phillip and those panelists. She's just like Jasmine Crockett. Only in her case, it's even worse because what she's looking to do is pull up the ladder after her.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Like she got through women's soccer, having to only compete against women. And she became a star and a multimillionaire, multimillionaire off of Americans and their love to watch her play. And now she wants my little girl to compete against boys. My girl is a soccer player. My girl is very talented. And she wants my girl to play against boys.

It's more important to her to seem like a good person than it is to her what happens to my kid or somebody else's kid listening to this show. And all of us have risen up and elected Donald Trump who has told her she can pound sand.

So Victor, this week we finally saw the transcript from CBS News of that infamous Kamala Harris sit down right before the election. They were forced to turn it over to the FCC after a complaint was filed by Team Trump about possible deception in advertising and in dealing with the public. And what we saw was that terrible answer that she gave to Netanyahu's not listening.

which had one answer on 60 Minutes and a different answer in the teaser clip that aired on Face the Nation, got no better behind the scenes. It was really just those two answers melded together. That's all that was there. But what was more interesting was some of the stuff they omitted, they cut from the interview. And nobody's obligated to air the whole interview.

Now there is reporting today that CBS staffers are reportedly becoming increasingly upset about the drama unfolding over at 60 Minutes, that Puck News reporting about the mixed emotions from staffers following comments made by 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens, who told his colleagues at Monday's meeting that the editing was, quote, perfectly fine. Is the edit fine?

And this is something that we expect they are going to settle because their parent company, Paramount, is trying to get a merger approved by the Trump administration. And CBS News, the vaunted journalist there, don't want to pay him one dime. And even internally, though, are questioning whether they did the right thing in that ridiculous interview they aired.

You know, it's like syphilis where it just infects your brain. You can't think straight anymore. And you can tell when somebody has, it's obvious. And that leads me to my next subject, which is the treatment of Melania Trump versus Bianca Sensori.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Okay, bear with me. I'm going to tie it together. So Melania Trump puts out her new first lady portrait and she looks like a million bucks. She's wearing a tuxedo jacket and she's got her hands on a, like a shiny desk. She, it's a power shot and it's in black and white and she looks absolutely stunning as she always does. But I, I love it. And she's, she just looks like a boss, frankly. Okay.

So here's Vogue reacting to it. Melania Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of First Lady. Trump's clothing certainly didn't help the boardroom pastiche. The choice to wear a tuxedo as opposed to a blazer or blouse made Trump look more like a freelance magician than a public servant.

It's perhaps unsurprising that a woman who lived in a gold-encrusted penthouse whose fame is so intertwined with a reality television empire would refuse to abandon theatrics, even when faced with 248 years of tradition.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And then they talk about how she sort of tried the first time around in 2017 with her first portrait, which was in color, with her face airbrushed into oblivion, something they would never say about Jill Biden. And now they write, they conclude with now attempting a no-nonsense businesswoman approach in her situationally inappropriate tuxedo.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
It seems that Melania Trump still struggles with sartorial messaging. Now, the woman who wrote this, I mean, she must be a style icon, right? It's got to be somebody who's like been on the cover of Vogue herself, who's in charge of their product line. No, it's a 26 year old named Hannah Jackson, who's a fashion writer for Vogue, who lives in Brooklyn, New York, who writes. Here she is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Look at this. This is the woman who thinks she's in the position to judge Melania. Uh, she says she, when she was offered her job as a fashion writer at Vogue a year and a half ago, she was a part-time dance teacher who had just emptied her savings to move across the country. This woman's done nothing. Do you hate Melania? You're hired. You're the one for us. Okay. I'm almost done now.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Contrast that it's not the same writer, but the same magazine to what they wrote about Bianca Sensori, uh, the literally naked wife of Kanye West, Ye West, at the Grammys. She literally wore nothing, and they were there for it. This writer's named Raven Smith. And she writes all about how somehow this was empowering.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
She describes it as a slip so sheer, so without undergarments, that it exposed her uncensored nudity beneath. A slip. Okay. She writes... about how, look, fashion for me has always celebrated a body's sensuality rather than the unimaginative base level provocation of a woman's nakedness.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
But she goes on to say, while I'm not necessarily advocating for snatch on the red carpet, it could also be argued that it's Bianca's body and therefore Bianca's choice. And then she writes that... Because Bianca's not speaking up, because we're bereft of any deeper motivations, the silence has us scrabbling for answers of our own. But maybe that's exactly what Bianca wanted.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Um, so I, my next guest will forgive me for stealing his point for the top of the show, but I think it's a really good one. Don't you about this is where they, they really did get upset and it's actually causing protests in the street. Not all the other stuff that they've been whining about for four years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
You see, that was empowering. But Melania Trump is a pathetic magician who is performing theatrics and is situationally inappropriate. But Bianca is totally appropriate and a badass girl boss.

And I think America is just fine with that. Now, I do think it's interesting. You get a preview. You know, the big game is this Sunday. It's going to be Chiefs versus Eagles. And...

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
These things can be a bit of a cultural touchstone. Right. Like just where are we as a nation? They are removing from the end zone the end racism signs. That's big. Right. Because we've been subjected to those lectures from the NFL for four going on five years now. Right. They are not eliminating the so-called Black National Anthem.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
We're going to have that thing, which is divisive in this context. Yes, it is. But they're doing it. We are going to get a halftime interview of President Trump, unlike Joe Biden, who wouldn't sit for one because he couldn't. Trump has weighed in on the Super Bowl where he will be attending. And let me see if I can find what he said.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
He posted two great quarterbacks in this game, also an unbelievable running back and the absolute best tight end in football. Now, we think that's a reference to Saquon Barkley on the Eagles and Travis Kelsey on the Chiefs. Incredible coaching.

Anyway, it will be a great game. I'll be doing the interview before the game at 3 p.m. There hasn't been one in four years. Gee, I wonder why. Okay, so that's Trump.

And you see the line, we are so back. We are so back. That's kind of how I feel looking at this Carl, Carl's Jr. ad. We are so back. It's featuring an influencer by the name of Alex Earl. Watch.

I feel like there is something significant to the fact that The obvious nature of men and women is back on screen and being celebrated that women love to be sexy where appropriate. And in a Carl's Jr. ad, it's totally appropriate. And men love to fawn over them. And that's a dynamic that actually leads to the continuation of humankind. And it's fine. But we went through this crazy period.

It's fine to show off the female form and have guys drooling over her instead of the stupid Gillette ad, which was like some self-flagellating guy trying to show us what a feminist he was, right?

No, totally. The the the the back and forth between Hillary Clinton and Sean Duffy. I don't know if you saw. Is it? It's the greatest thing. I'm going off of the Super Bowl for one second because this is just too good. OK, where is that post? I've got to find the Hillary Clinton, the original and the original packet. Hold on. Yeah.

He's coming up next. All right. So here is the Hillary. She tried to troll Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary. And Duffy tweeted out the following on X. Big news, talk to the Doge team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system. Hillary Clinton decides to weigh in. They have no relevant experience. Most of them aren't old enough to rent a car.

And you're going to let them mess with airline safety that's already deteriorated on your watch? Duffy, Madam Secretary, with all due respect, experienced Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation's infrastructure is crumbling. You need to sit this one out. Hillary, US Airlines had gone 16 years without fatal crashes.

Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs. Now there have been two fatal crashes. Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast. I thought he was just going to walk away because she was being so obstinate. No, he didn't. He came back at her. Duffy,

I know you're lashing out because Doge is uncovering your family's obscene grifting via USAID, but I won't let you lie and distort facts. The FAA administrator announced he resigned over a month before Trump took office, and the air traffic controllers were always exempt from Trump's civil service buyouts. The previous administration shamelessly used U.S.

It stinks. I think they're really upset about all this. I do one more Super Bowl ad with you. One more. Yeah. My cultural commentator here, BDH. This one, you mentioned comedy and how it's coming back. Well, Shane Gillis was a comedian who got canceled during the height of the wokeness because he'd got hired by by SNL. And then it emerged that in one of his comedy routines, he did an Asian accent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
So they canceled him on SNL for doing an Asian. It was just absolutely absurd. He's back too. He is starring in the latest, this is no accident, Bud Light ad, which is all testosterone. Here.

It's the whole theme of our discussion is sort of what's happening to the country versus where the Democrats are. And I'll end with this. Fetterman said the following to Puck News. He was commenting on that new DNC leadership, you know, where they were so worried about they don't have enough non-binaries. And everybody agreed Kamala lost because of racism and sexism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And then they had the nerve to elect a white male as head of the DNC. And as the vice chair... They elected another white male, David Hogg, one of the people who is a student at that school in Parkland, Florida, where there was a mass shooting. And he's been just truly one of the most vicious leftists ever since. So Fetterman says the following.

But the thing that really got them out in the streets was the cutback of federal bureaucrats' jobs, including today at the DOE. They're very upset about USAID. Now, magazines like Politico are seeing their subscriptions from these federal government offices pulled because the government doesn't want to pay taxpayer dollars for these things. Now they're pissed.

Well, look at us here now, four years later from the end of Trump's presidency, where, you know, when he ended, it was late 2020 COVID. We were being told everything was a conspiracy theory, lab leak. That's a conspiracy theory. All this stuff that, you know, I can't talk about, you know, the medicines that could treat COVID and COVID hydroxychloroquine and all that stuff.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And you're a conspiracy theorist. If you think the vaccines might injure you, et cetera. Well, now here we are four years later, he's back in office. And deep state starting to look a lot more real, even to people who never do conspiracy. Right. It's like, well, you know, that T-shirt, like all my conspiracy theories have come true.

But they're going down swinging. I just want to say in like a minute, we'll say goodbye to our SiriusXM audience, but we're going to continue the discussion on pod and youtube.com slash Megyn Kelly. But they're not going down without a fight because they filed a lawsuit. to try to stop these terminations. What's really happening is they're offering buyouts.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
They're saying, if you want to leave the federal government, go ahead and leave. And we'll give you eight months salary, which is much more generous than they would get otherwise. And please go. And some 50,000 reportedly have said, okay, we'll go not just out of, uh, you know, department of education, but just across the government. But
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Now these unions have come in, filed lawsuits saying, you're not allowed to do that. These salaries are only funded through March. Don't believe them. You're not going to get your eight months on a technicality. You can't trust them. They're not going to give you any money past March. Don't take the buyout. Because they make their business and their bones by keeping all the stuffing in the system.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Well, they stopped it for now, but I think that they're going to lose that lawsuit. I think Trump absolutely has the power to reduce the federal government and to reduce the money that he's paying in the federal government that is 100 percent within the function of the executive. So he had a Clinton appointee who struck it down for now. But but that will be reversed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
So I like this, that you're targeting a group of, I think, young men who are feeling kind of disaffected. unloved, undervalued, and you're very open about the fact that they should be catered to. And actually I heard in your, in your article, something I didn't know existed, which was the tech, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003

But did you see Mark Zuckerberg's comments about Sheryl Sandberg? He blamed her for the wokeness at Meta, reportedly, and said she was the one responsible for tampons in the men's room and all that shit is done. You know, he's doing the jujitsu. He grew the hair out. He's pro-Trump. Like, what a shift. By the way, there's a report in the news today that some rogue employees at Facebook or Meta

Did put tampons back in the men's room. Revolution. But it's no longer company sanctioned. Yes. It's their act of civil disobedience. But I thought that was actually very interesting. I mean, they were very tight for a long time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
I think I speak for everyone when I say we're on his side. I mean, can you imagine if the dynamic were reversed there, Victor? And if it were a white man saying to Maxine Water, get your head up. Look at me. Give me your ID. Show it to me again. Get it out. She can be as disrespectful as she wants of him, though.

I don't like the fact that you can't describe what's being done to so-called trans children as mutilation and YouTube will potentially demonetize your show, will pull your show. So we talked about that and I am hopeful about progress in the free speech lane now because all of big tech, I think, is reevaluating life under Donald Trump, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And we need him. Yes. We need as many strong soldiers on this side of the aisle as we can get. Yes. You know, it's interesting. I went out to the all in summit in September, late September, and Elon was there and all the guys were there from the all in podcast. And it was all tech guys in the audience, some gals, but it was mostly male.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Young, you know, I would say mostly in their young 30s, mid-30s maybe. And I couldn't believe how right-leaning they seemed. I was saying all the things I say, you know, on gender. I ripped on Kamala Harris's intelligence. You know, like all this stuff. I defended Trump on the lawfare. they kept clapping like a lot. I had the support of the crowd and I was like, what is this place?

But it's sad to me to think of, by the way, my EP wants me to remind everybody that Jason and Shamath are going to be on the podcast a week from today. Um, But I think it's sad because when you're in Republican circles, it's hard enough. Let's go before the election, before Trump won again and before Elon came out on the campaign trail.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
It's hard enough if you have a big business or you're an up-and-comer in a very left-leaning industry to show your politics or be open at all about what your political leanings are. But it's gone beyond that for so long to where young men not only had to say the right things, had to hide their politics if they were all right-leaning, but had to be shamed just for being male. That's it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And never mind if you're white male, forget about it. And that, you know, we can laugh like, oh, it's so stupid. But it actually really has done a number on like an entire generation. And it's such bullshit.

But it's innate. It's innate. And when they saw you saying the things and writing the things that they knew to be true, it would be a natural gravitation to hear more of it, to read more of it. And now I feel like they've been empowered. And there are some women who are like, well, we don't want him to be empowered to the point where they're all Andrew Tate, right? Like that's too far.

But he is the most overly feminized man I've had to endure in recent history. Everything he says is self-flagellating over the fact that he's a man. Every sentence, his declarative sentence. He's apologizing. Yeah, they're couched in a million like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But he's to me is sort of the embodiment of what happens when you totally emasculate a man. And then she continued.

She took that stiletto and stuck it in his heart when he was down there self-flagellating, being so sorry for anything having to do with his testosterone. And so that's what happens to you, right?

Think about it, because many of us believe that he had on like a worker's suit because we saw that that was... He bought one via Amazon, like a painter's suit, you know, that would cover up your whole... Right. Everything you're wearing. And that that's... He did that for a reason, right? He knew he was going to get bloody.

But... And maybe he had those little booties that, you know, like when the heating guy comes to fix your heater, he puts on before he walks into your house. But he would have... Like, think about it. He's sneaking out of the house covered in blood. Where does he take the stuff off, right? According to them, the eyewitness saw him, which would have shaken him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
He wouldn't have wanted to be hanging out in the house, disrobing, changing out of his workman suit and his booties if he's wearing them. He must have done that in the car. You would think he would have done that in the car and then disposed of this along with a murder weapon on the way home. And we'll get to the eyewitness, which is the most interesting thing of the whole day. But pause there.

I was like, we've got to get this on because- I appreciate it. I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but it's possible the prosecution's case is falling apart. It did not go particularly well for them. Let's start with the DNA. What happened?

I mean, he did quite a job of disposing of that murder weapon and those clothes. That's all you'd need. I mean, it'd be ballgame. He'd be done. He'd be total toast. I've often wondered if he managed to put it up in a tree somehow, like instead of down, instead of digging ground, which if they'd gotten enough search crews out there might have been identified.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
It's just mind-boggling. There's so much blood. The house is bleeding. Four dead young 20s and teenagers. In the course of 12 minutes, there would be blood all over you. How... How did he get it to the point where there was no blood in the car? I just, that's a big mystery for me. It's a big question in this case. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Yeah. On the subject of blood, what you were going to say, we learned about those two, two other spots of blood. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Did the... prosecution, did the FBI do any genetic genealogy on the DNA from the blood?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Any theories on how not one, but two men's DNA got on this crime scene, Howard? No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
It's a fascinating theory. You, all I could think of when you were saying it was of course, the famous Johnny Cochran, if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit. I bet you anything that glove does not fit Brian Kohlberger's hand. And you know, if this is true, right? Like what, what if he has this, you know, he's just getting his PhD in criminology and He's a TA in criminology.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
All he does is study crime. And apparently he was very good, a very good student of it. Very annoying and irritating to everybody he worked with at Washington University. But what if he really did do that? What if somehow he had access to somebody's blood? I don't know how he would have gotten it, but there is some speculation this may not have been his first crime.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
If this was his crime, it was so meticulous and well-handled. Perhaps this wasn't his first rodeo. And what if what if that really was like an homage almost, you know, the two gloves, reasonable doubt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Such a colossal error on his part. I know this is a weird place to go, but I'd give anything to have been there when he realized he forgot it, you know? To see the look come over his face when he realized his perfect crime had been foiled by him. Mm-mm.

losing something as basic as the knife sheath, as incriminating as the knife sheath, and then just praying to God that all the times he handled it with gloves on protected him from fingerprints or anything that would tie him to it. And yet he wasn't careful enough.

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Not guilty. All right, now we have to talk about the eyewitness. But before we do, I want to say this. This is the first time I really, really thought about the DNA now that they've been caught, right? The FBI, they shouldn't have used those private company databases. They did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
They're obviously much bigger because a lot more people would give their DNA if they knew it was going to stay private and not be available to law enforcement. So they did. And that's how they found Brian Kohlberger's dad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Um, to me, there's actually no chance of the judge suppressing the genetic genealogy, the touch DNA or anything because of that, because that is a violation of the terms of service. I assume it's ancestry DNA and 23 and me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Okay, so that's a violation of the terms of service of that company. That company has rules that law enforcement's not supposed to go on there. But I don't think there's a law saying you've broken the law as a cop if you go on there. It's just like the cop violated a term of service of a private company. So that's between the cop and the company. Maybe the cop, the police department gets sued

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
over that, but I don't see how that helps the defendant whose DNA was uploaded.

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
So interesting. Okay. Let's get to Dylan Mortensen, right? Who is the eyewitness that he went in, in the middle of the night, he killed four roommates, but there was one roommate. There's another roommate who wasn't there. And there was this roommate, Dylan shown here. And she is what they called an eyewitness in the affidavit. She said she saw a man of medium build,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
with bushy eyebrows, wearing like a COVID mask, that they made eye contact with one another. She was frozen in a frozen shock phase. And he went by her. She went back into her room. She locked the door. She stayed in her room until almost noon the next day as her roommates were bleeding to death. No one can understand the decision-making, but no one's been in such a situation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
I don't understand what happened with Dylan. No one does. But talk about like your witness collapsing, she may not even be able to give the prosecution what I just said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
I don't know if she will either. And that may have been the point of her changing her testimony, like picture a scenario in which she's just too terrified to sit in a courtroom across from this guy. And also in front of the public, which I mean, she didn't have anything to do with these crimes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
It's just, you know, there's a fair amount of like what kind of a person would go back into their room and not call 911 after, you know, she's saying she's so afraid of this person. She went into shock and,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
And they are the ones we believe now, Howard, who found the bodies?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Wow. So she because that was always one of the big mysteries that it was somebody else. It wasn't Dylan who called 911 when ultimately the authorities were called and we didn't know who it was. But now we believe it was the fraternity brothers who she called to come over to the house.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
That is unbelievable. So she is saying she doesn't know if she actually saw him or if it was her mind playing with her. She conceded that she had a lot to drink and was too inebriated to remember anything that happened that night with any authority. And when they showed her a photo of Kohlberger after the fact, she failed to identify him as the intruder she had seen. These are terrible facts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
No, no, she's not going to be helpful at all. And it's unfortunate. Their case doesn't rise or fall on her, but boy, you'd much rather have her say, I'll never forget those bushy eyebrows. And if I see those eyes again, I'll know them and then say, there they are right there at defense table.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Wow. I don't know. I'm fine with the death penalty. I really am. I like O'Reilly always used to say he was against it because he thought it was too easy on the defendant. You know, he wanted them to suffer in prison. I just feel like if Brian Colbert committed these crimes, he killed these four young, beautiful people in the prime of their lives.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Well, maybe I'll at least go out there. I don't know. I just feel like I have no empathy for a person like that. Again, it's not totally consistent with my Catholic faith, but that's just how I genuinely feel. I just feel like those people shouldn't be allowed to roam the earth any longer. But I have to be honest, I don't like the fact that all the supporting evidence is falling apart.

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
you know, when we talk about how the cheek swab matched Brian Kohlberger, what we're saying is the, the cheek swab, Brian Kohlberger's DNA was definitely on the knife sheath. That's what that proves. It was, it was his DNA on the knife sheath, but let's be honest. All that really proves is that he touched that knife sheath at some point.
The Megyn Kelly Show

You've been saying this all along. You've been suspecting that the FBI got this match between the DNA, the touch DNA on the knife sheath, and matched it to Kohlberger's father. possibly by doing something they're not allowed to do, which is use the commercial DNA websites that people like you and I might go to if we're looking for a long-lost relative. They have a public database.

But in late January, there was a pretrial hearing, and an important one, that revealed shocking new information that we have not heard before. Joining me now to break down all the developments is Howard Bloom, journalist and New York Times bestselling author of When the Night Comes Falling, a requiem for the Idaho student murders.

CeCe Moore, the original creator of genetic genealogy, talked to us about this a long time ago saying, There's only one that's totally public and anyone can upload their DNA and see what's on there. The other two are fee-for-service private companies that are not allowed to be used by law enforcement. Otherwise, nobody would go on there, right?

And you said early on you suspected, because the FBI seemed to be very cagey about this whole thing, they didn't want to turn over the results of how they got this to anybody, that maybe they had done something they weren't allowed to.

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Wait, before you answer that, let's just show the audience what Kohlberger's defense attorney, Ann Taylor, yes, that's her name, argued about this investigative genetic genealogy, IgG, evidence. Listen to her in Stop 41.

We continue to face uncertainty when it comes to the economy, with a perfect storm brewing as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point, as the largest generation is, of course, hitting retirement.

And if that's not what the prosecution wanted to hear, the prosecution wanted to hear, there's no need for a hearing. This is ridiculous. You know, irrespective of how we got to Brian Kohlberger's father as being related to the person whose DNA was on the knife sheath. We know it is Brian Kohlberger's DNA because we ultimately took a cheek swab that shows it was him. But the, but the, so the,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
The problem for the prosecution is the judge is not saying no. He's keeping the door open. He might actually have a hearing on this, so he's at least a little interested. But can I just say this to what you just said, Howard? The DNA matching Kohlberger directly is absolutely devastating. There's no question. It's a
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
As I understand her argument, Ann Taylor's, it's that you would never have been cheek swabbing Brian Kohlberger if you hadn't been doing the shenanigans with the DNA and 23andMe. She's saying you can't even use the cheek swab because it too is fruit of the poisonous tree.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
Okay, so hold on. But before we get to that, let me finish up this part. I know there's a lot of stuff to discuss. So just so the audience knows, that's what she's trying to argue. She's trying to say everything that followed as a result of you figuring out that Brian Kohlberger's DNA, his dad's DNA, was traceable, from that knife sheath has to be removed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
You have to get rid of it, including the cheek swab. Now, the judge did not seem like he was going to do that. He seemed very into the actual cheek swab, and he didn't sound like a man who thinks that's fruit of any poisonous tree. But here he is, Judge Hipler, talking about that DNA match in SOP 43.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Okay, but how about the fact that, I mean, the best fact, I think, other than the DNA match, is the fact that when the police went to arrest him in the Poconos in December, this crime was committed the month before, in November, my God, is it 2022 now? I'm trying to, I'm losing track. Yes. Yeah, 2022.

Uh, of course, as, as any good defense lawyer. Well, but that one's, um, I'm, we've heard her out on the genetic genealogy thing. You were right. And she was right that there was some funny business going on from the sound of it, but she's not, there's no way she's getting out the FBI, what they found upon arresting him for no way. And it's just a terrible damn fact.

Shocking New Kohberger Case Details About DNA Match, "Unknown Male" Blood, and Witness, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1002
I don't, you know, but go back to your first point. I firmly believe Kohlberger committed this crime. But what's fascinating is how good he was at covering it up. To your point, there's no murder weapon. And she reiterated these points. So these are all updated now. We've been speculating. But she was on the record with they haven't found a murder weapon. They did not find any blood. How are they?

Such a massive, massive error. But what about the car and the phone evidence? Because when we read the police affidavit before his arrest, it was white car, Hyundai Elantra. They changed the year once they started to narrow in on Kohlberger because they'd had the years wrong. But then they said, okay, yeah, it's 15. It's not just 16. Anyway, whatever his car was. And

We've seen that car around, you know, the the murder house many times, according to the cops. And also his phone records show that he was in the vicinity of the murder house over and over, including the the night before. They didn't have him there during the murder hours. His phone was off. But then the next morning he appeared to go back before they had found the bodies in the 9 a.m. hour.

But now he wants to bring it to the whole court.

Courts are not allowed to decide, quote, political questions.

The two to one decision by the Court of Appeals upholding Boasberg intrudes into the province of the elected branches of government over war and national security. A federal court has never before overruled the decision of a president or Congress that the United States has suffered an attack or an invasion. They go on to say. Judicial review does not extend to every constitutional question.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The Supreme Court itself has long recognized that there are certain political questions which the Constitution itself has committed to the final decision of the president or Congress or which have no legal standards that the courts can apply. That's the problem here. There's no... And Judge Boasberg does not know better than Trump whether an invasion has happened. He doesn't.

There are no legal standards for him to use in determining that.

So but just just for the record, that's twice you've gotten out of bounds on alien enemies. Once you said they basically get a habeas review, which is a different thing. And secondly, you said that this may be torture, which is a different thing on the big, big question of whether Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to summarily deport. suspected Venezuelan gang members.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It's a win for President Trump. And once that's a win for President Trump, we can nitpick about whether an individual guy gets a habeas review, etc. But it's a huge win for the Trump administration. And it's very important one, because what the leftist ACLU right now is trying to do is clip the wings of our sitting commander in chief. Go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But also, can I just say I'm reading here again from the John you piece. OK. Recognizing these limits to the judicial role is no dereliction of duty in Marbury versus Madison. The very case that first declared the power of judicial review that in that case, the court said we say what the lies the courts are the ones who say what the law is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And so that's just part of why it's been so controversial what they've been doing to stop Trump. I mean, the whole Trump second presidency in its crib.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Chief Justice John Marshall used his own discretion, quote. OK, he says for his decisions, quote, he, the president, is accountable only to his country in his political character and to his own conscience, end quote. His choices cannot be questioned in court because, quote, the subjects are political, end quote. These issues, quote, respect the nation, not individual rights.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And being entrusted to the executive, the decision of the executive is conclusive. They, too, understood, Dave, that if it's a political question, it is not the courts that have the final say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Congress of 1798 that did that, Dave. He makes it sound like it's Mike Johnson. Mike Davis, you know, like it was the Congress of 1798 that said we are choosing to give the executive these extraordinary powers and without judicial review and the Supreme Court. in interpreting that act said there's no judicial review of this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Joining me now to debate, Dave Ehrenberg, former state attorney general, state attorney, I should say, for Palm Beach County, Florida, and now managing partner of Dave Ehrenberg Law, as well as a frequent contributor to the Legal AF YouTube channel. And Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article 3 Project. He lives his life saying Legal AF. That's his core motto. You can see Dave on MSNBC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It's a political question that we are out of our lane if we try to take on. Mike, let me get you to weigh in on it. Let me just read you just another little snippet from the John UP's. Again, well worth everyone's time. He goes on to say. Courts have studiously avoided second guessing the decisions of the elected branches of government.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Federal judges refused to rule on the legality of not just the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but every war in American history, even the Guantanamo Bay cases. There they defer to the decision of President George W. Bush, etc. Now he goes on to say the following. In the case by the D.C.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Circuit that that affirmed the temporary restraining order against Trump's deportation powers under alien alien enemies. He says the D.C. Circuit ignored the judiciary's traditional deference on questions of war. Judge Karen Henderson's opinion. Karen. Karen, sorry. She displayed little modesty in rejecting the claim that Trenda Aragua's conduct qualified as an invasion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Based on her review of the history of the 1798 act, she concluded that an invasion, quote, required far more than an unwanted entry to constitute an invasion. There had to be hostilities. She observes that, quote, in every instance. In the Constitution, in laws and debates of the time, invasion is used in a military sense. Same goes, she concludes, for predatory incursions. Yu goes on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
On this ground alone, the Supreme Court should grant emergency review of this case. Federal judges do not have the capability, the understanding or access to information to make sensitive decisions on whether a foreign actor represents a national security threat, nor can they judge the harms that could arise from action or inaction.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Courts are not designed to make policy decisions involving probabilities and risks, which are characteristic of war and national security. Mike.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
OK, now let's talk about the individual rights. I really feel it very strongly, contrary to what you say, Dave, contrary to the argument I had with Charles C.W. Cook on this podcast two weeks ago. Trump has this power under the Alien Enemies Act, and it's really clear. And I think these judges are way out over their skis.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And I actually do have hope that the Supreme Court is going to slap them and hard and remind them that they're unelected judges, that nobody elected them to do anything. They're not commander in chief. Judge Boasberg's had his fun playing mini commander. He's not. However, on the right to individual review where one person says, wait, I'm not trend to Iroquois, that actually can be heard.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And the administration has conceded that they've conceded that. And actually, if I went back and did a dive, my God helped me into Iraq. Other cases interpreting the Alien and Enemy Act, including one that came down in 1813. Gentlemen, this is how I spent my morning is how much I love you. 1813 cases I was looking at where the court later clarified in a case called Lockington v. Smith.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
You can see Mike on Fox. But this is the only place you will see them together. Thank you so much for having me.

And we have a special offer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
That judicial review, they had said that judicial review into whether an individual is actually an alien enemy is OK. Like that, that we will allow not to whether the president had the power to declare it or use it. But individual circumstances like I'm not trend or Aragua. Yes, you can have judicial review.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And then they went back in Lockington in 1813 and said that review need only be available subsequent to incarceration. So Trump did no wrong. He did no wrong putting them on a plane and shipping them off to this El Salvadorian prison. But now and this is why the administration is conceding it. They will have to give individual hearings where the person is claiming I'm not trend to Iroquois.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And I don't exactly know how that happens. I don't I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't even know what the procedure for that would be. Dave, do you have any idea?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But just to be clear, it appears they only did that with plane number three. Planes number one and two were already airborne when the judge issued that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But the ruling refused to turn the planes around. That is true. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I mean, that's all very sweet, but they don't have the power, Mike.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Here's what's really crazy. As far as we can see, nobody, including the ACLU, I raised this question repeatedly this week saying, I'm looking into the legality of shipping them out. I mean, not that. I accept he has the power, as I've just argued for the past half hour plus. But is it legal to put them in prison? Like that to me is an interesting question.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, how do they wind up in prison without due process on criminal charges against them? You know, for for being gang members, for committing alleged crimes? How do you I get how you deport them. You can ship them back to where they came from. That's no problem. You can ship them back to where they they were born. The law recognizes that. I just don't know how you can ship them into a prison.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But here's the weird thing. As far as I can tell, literally nobody's even arguing that that's an issue. Like, literally nobody. Even the ACLU is not making that their argument. Dave, they're saying, well, they're putting them into jails in which they could be tortured. But they're not saying they're putting them into jails.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I did not like it and I did a big bit on it. But, you know. People disagree. I would say my audience is split. I actually expected them to be totally against me and you, Dave, on that and say, you know what? But actually, they were about they were about, I'd say, 55 percent in our camp and 45 percent in defense of her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And the reason they are, I think, Mike, is like cases like the one that just came down today out of South Carolina, where another illegal. Thank you. Thank you.

OK, I'm so happy to see you. So we've got to kick it off with the trend to Aragua deportations. And yesterday there was this hearing on in the court of Judge Boasberg, which is in the D.C. federal district court. And he's trying to decide whether the Trump administration committed contempt of court because a month ago after Trump put.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Thank you. Yeah. It's like a form of president. You're president of the prison. Clearly, you're looking for executive authority. You know, but we do. I think I think there needs to be some established procedure. And again, under the 1813 Supreme Court interpretation of all of this. it's okay if they don't give him a hearing before they deport him under Alien and Enemies Act. He's fine there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
three plane loads of suspected Venezuelan gang members on planes, at least one plane of which had already been ordered to be removed by a federal district judge, and said, get out of here. You're going to El Salvador. The ACLU ran into court, said, Judge Boasberg, Judge Boasberg, please stop it. It's unconstitutional. And he said... You know what? It might be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And even before they imprison them. But at some point, if these individuals are saying they're not trend to Aragua, we're going to have to hear those claims in some way, shape, or form. And Dave, the other question is, what... They're supposed to be... We paid them $6 million to house these prisoners for a year. So what happens after the year? Does anybody know? Do they, like...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I don't think El Salvador wants them milling about.

You know, Mike, today on Instagram, I saw this young gal who was talking about medical tourism and she went to Turkey and in one day had every test you could have done on your body scan and blood tests and so on and dental work. I mean, you name it, they did it. And apparently she only paid 800 bucks for this in Turkey. So it's medical tourism. I mean, what I feel like Trump is engaging in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
in penal tourism where he's getting this. You know how much it would cost to house 300 prisoners here in the United States for a year? Way more than six million bucks. This is like the Turkish. This is the equivalent of the Turkish day spa.

Tell them to turn their asses around, get those illegals back to America. And with respect to two of those planes, they'd already left and they did not comply with an order to turn the flights around.

The biggest obstacles to Trump's second term agenda have not come from Congress or the media. They have come from the courts, judges slapping down injunction after injunction after injunction. These are nationwide injunctions that stop the Trump agenda in its tracks. They have blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship. That one. That that can be forgiven. That's a big one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Welcome back to The Megyn Kelly Show. We are continuing to get incredible details about the downfall of former President Biden's campaign and presidency from two new books. One of the new details includes Hollywood actor George Clooney once raging against Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski. I love this story. I love it. for so many reasons, which we'll get to.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Joining me now to discuss that and so much more is Mike Solana. Mike runs a news outlet called Pirate Wires. Last time he was on our show, we got a huge response from our viewers and listeners, so we are glad to have him back on. Great to see you again. Thanks for having me back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Okay, so I love this George Clooney story, and let me make sure that I have the proper attribution so that I protect the innocent, the good reporters who are actually bringing this stuff out. Hold on, where is it? Where did I put it? Where is it, Deb? Oh, it's in the original. It's in the AM update. Sorry, guys. Okay. So this is the Whipple book that we talked about the other day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
This Whipple book is, let's see, Chris Whipple, and it's called Unchartered, How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History. Well, New nuggets are breaking. Tara Palmieri, who's got her own Substack and podcast now, she's been on the show. She got a copy and released a couple of the nuggets and so did The Guardian. But hers was a really interesting nugget.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And she's apparently in this book, they reveal that George Clooney saw Morning Joe one day right after his op-ed and Mika Brzezinski was suggesting that Barack Obama was behind the George Clooney op-ed. It was basically making Clooney seem like Obama's puppet. Here's the Mika clip. I'm going to walk you through it. Watch it. It's not 22.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Okay. Literally everyone thinks that he put him up to it. I mean, this is like, but here's what is reported. Whipple writes, at 10.05 a.m. after Morning Joe had wrapped that show, one of the show's producers walked into his Manhattan apartment. His phone started buzzing and he answered. The voice was familiar. How the F could you let her link me with Barack Obama saying he made me write the op-ed?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And with respect to the third plane, it had not yet left, but it did not have any illegals on it who were being deported under the controversial law that was in front of Judge Boesberg, which is the Alien Enemies Act. So the Trump administration didn't feel like they had to do anything on that plane because they were like, these people have been ordered removed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It was George Clooney. The producer pushed back. Listen, I didn't do that, he said. You F'd me. Only with the real word, Clooney shouted. You're my friend. You should have stood up for me. Oh my God, you little baby, you man child. Okay, that was me. George, the producer said. This is not an effing movie. There's no script. It's just not a movie where you go script page to script page.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
F you, replied Clooney. F yourself, said the producer. The exchange of F-bombs lasted about five minutes before Clooney hung up. A few minutes later, he called back for another round of cursing and arguing. The actor called a third time just after noon and the shouting match went on. The producer had had enough. This is a morning talk show on a cable channel, he shouted at Clooney.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Nobody gives an F what we say, or if we say he should get out or if he should stay in. Nobody effing cares. It's skywriting. It's effing gone. George, I told you before, we'll try and take care of it tomorrow morning. I promise you. I don't know whether I trust you, replied Clooney. Well, F you, said the producer. If you don't trust me, stop effing calling me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Okay, we just got to spend a minute on how pathetic these characters come across, right? I'm tough and I'm telling George Clooney to F off, but I promise we'll take it back tomorrow. I've got you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, you saw in the recent poll of Democratic frontrunners or leaders, who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Barack Obama only got 4%.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, I can understand why as a man, you would feel totally emasculated by what is probably the truth, which is you were just the puppet to a more important man's opinions. You know, you may think that your president, he thinks he's a journalist now because he played one in a movie years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He's out there lecturing journalists on how to do journalism and be great at the end of his new Broadway play. Maybe he thinks he's president, too, because I guess he doesn't want to be subject subjugated to Barack Obama because he was apparently genuinely pissed off.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And what's so funny about this is he's like he's worried that Mika Brzezinski's implication on Morning Joe is going to hurt his reputation somehow. Somehow it's like. It's gonna hurt his street cred with what? The leftists who watch MSNBC. George, I have news for you. We all believe it. She's not alone. We know this is what has happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah, Stephen A. Smith says he's gonna do it, maybe.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We're not using the Alien Enemies Act. You really have no jurisdiction to say anything about those illegals, Judge. So this judge is pissed off about the fact that we didn't turn those planes around and bring them back. And he might hold the Trump administration in contempt. But before we even get to that, Mike Davis...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So here's the follow-up. Tara Palmieri had on the author, Whipple, and asked him whether Obama did tell Clooney to write the op-ed. And Whipple had a story about Obama's former chief of staff, Bill Daley, and what he confessed to Whipple about whether Obama was really behind the George Clooney op-ed, right? Do you follow me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So this was Obama's former chief of staff speaking to the author of the book who was on this podcast. And here is how that went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Mm-hmm. So he wouldn't have stopped it is basically what he's saying. Obviously, I mean, that's an implicit admission by the guy, Obama's former chief of staff. Okay. So it just shows how thin-skinned this Hollywood illister is. And then this morning show producer who's trying to be like, I told him to F himself. I told him to F off. And then I told him, we'll fix it tomorrow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Please don't be mad at us. Please don't George Clooney can't be mad at me. Okay. Very chummy relationship, by the way, right? Like I thought we were friends. I thought I could trust you. Well, you know what? That was your first mistake because you shouldn't trust cable news producers. They're only there to do one thing, put points on the board, not befriend Hollywood celebrities. Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
There's more. In that Whipple book, he details how, like the meltdown around the Presidential debate where Joe Biden imploded and he gets into great detail about how bad it was. He spoke with with with Biden's former chief of staff who said we were terrified. I expected a disaster. He couldn't make it through either of the debate preps. He wasn't sure.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He didn't seem to be aware of the fact that he was president. He thought he was president of NATO. Yeah. And yet they sent him off on stage. And apparently Joe Biden's sister, Valerie Biden, had a complete meltdown after seeing him on stage that night, blaming everyone around him. Probably not Jill, Dr. Jill, but everyone else. And here's a bit from that in that podcast. Same podcast. Is that 24?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
This judge did issue an injunction a month ago saying, and no more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And indeed he did. So what do you think? I think it's interesting. All these people are coming out now because there's a couple of books, as I mentioned, trying to do like the deconstruction of what happened with the debate and Biden's presidency, et cetera. Is this a save your own ass effort or what is this?

You turn those planes around and no more using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members, period, until I've decided whether there's really an invasion or a predatory incursion, which is what's required under the Alien Enemies Act for the president to be able to deport them in the way he has. I will decide. And the Trump administration said, no, you won't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah, that makes sense. There was a young woman who worked in the White House under Biden who was on CNN. No, she was a campaign aide named Ashley Allison. She went on CNN on Wednesday. Listen to this woman. It's at 25.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
This is ridiculous. We all knew. I mean, we knew he was in bad shape. I agree with you. We didn't know it was DEFCON 1. But we knew it was like two or three.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I was also misled. I was like the New York times on COVID. We were misled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I'll give you a prediction. He's going to say he was all over the mental acuity problem and he'll probably have some examples.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah. Alex Thompson.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He would have been fine. Nobody would have like that guy's ability to cast this stone is unquestioned because he was pretty tough even on the Kamala thing. It was he was tough all along. He's like a normal reporter should be. Um, Jake's co-partnership on it complicates it. And for as many times as he may have mildly pointed it out, um, they didn't have the story.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The left wasn't interested in the story. It's like I asked the New York times that I sat down with them last week or whatever it aired last week. Where was Peter Baker? Why wasn't it, you know, where was your intrepid white house reporter figuring out that neurologists had visited the white house more than 10 times in a year?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I think the other piece of it is the left is losing its mind over Trump right now. They're so angry at what he's doing. It's like all their pet favorite causes, you know, being attacked one by one. And so it's like, how do we get in this position? Who let the infirm guy get all the way to that June debate?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Right, they can't blame him. Because he has dementia. They should be talking about Dr. Jill. Dr. Jill, she's a medical, oh wait, no, she's not. But she knew better than anybody and she shoved him weekend at Bernie style out onto that stage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Oh, blame her. She's not the only one, but she's the number one person to blame. It's disgusting. I would never want this done to me by my spouse and I would never do this to my spouse, never. You're supposed to be looking out for them in sickness and in health. and be able to step away from power, which she couldn't. Okay. Where was I going after that? There's so much to get to today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I guess we'll go to Donald Trump and tariffs because the Trump agenda. They're very upset about, yes, tariffs and DEI and all of that. This is something, we talked about this a little bit before we got to air. I think we both have the same view on it, which is you say what your view is. You can't make me care about tariffs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
You will not because the jurisprudence interpreting this act has said there is no judicial review of that call. And things didn't change in the past 250 years. You didn't find new executive authorities as a district court judge. You will not determine whether there's been a predatory incursion. That's Trump's call, period. And there's been legal precedent to that effect.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Calm down. Just sim the mer, as Bill Hemmer used to say, sim the mer, calm down. Um, they won't, but it is interesting to me because Trump always says I ran on this and he is doing only stuff he ran on. Really everything he's doing is a promise made promise kept.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
This one in particular has been a lifelong issue for Trump. This clip has been circulating on social media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I saw it on X a couple of times and it was back when we still liked Oprah in 1988, when she was still somewhat self-deprecating and likable, not, not her billionaire actress self, like what with Meghan Markle, what they wanted to know how dark your baby was going to, what we don't like that version. However, fat fun. Oprah was great. Um, thin, bitter, too rich to relate to Oprah is not great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So Oprah had Trump on in 1988 when he was, by my math, 41 years old. Wow. And listen to this exchange. What would you do differently, Donald?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And Judge Boasberg said, I will decide. Screw you. I don't accept this. It went up to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. They ruled two to one for now to support Judge Boasberg and his restraining order against the Trump deportations. And Trump went to the Supreme Court to say, reverse that restraining order. This is an outrage. These courts don't have review over me. Not on this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And you know what's interesting about that clip, among other things? That was 1988 before we decided to really open the floodgates to trade with China. Yep. And then, of course, by the time he ran in 15, all he was talking about was China. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah, they said, but I... As of coming to air, they hadn't announced what exactly they're doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yep. Just getting this in. China has responded. China's finance ministry said it will match his plan for 34 percent tariffs on goods from China with its own 34 percent tariff on imports from the United States. I mean, literally, like we almost send them nothing. That's like, OK, but Trump's not wrong. We import from China so much more than they import from us. They're like, screw you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We don't want to depend on you at all. Here's the second thing. Separately, China's Ministry of Commerce said it was adding 11 American companies to its list of unreliable entities, essentially barring them from doing business in China or with Chinese companies. I mean, isn't this good?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I anchored a presidential debate at which we were pressing every single candidate up there about whether their companies had done business with China, why they did business with China. Because if you do business with a Chinese company, you're doing business with the CCP. Xi Jinping.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I'm excited to see what Trump can do. And I understand people are in, they're feeling uncertain because they rely on their 401ks. You got retirees who are on a fixed income. I get all of that. But I think we just have to hold, just hold the line, hold the line. That's what Trump is asking. I believe that he will do something to watch out for the most vulnerable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Like last time he did that when certain farmers got hit on his trade deal, And his tariffs in Trump 1.0, I mean, now his government quote handouts. But if he's going to take away, he's going to have to be in a position to replenish just to get us through the hard period if it gets that bad.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
not into government handouts, but my point is like, if we're gonna actively hurt our own farmers, they may need help just to get them through the bridge, whatever, we'll see where it goes. But I believe he's not just gonna let Americans suffer. The whole point of doing this is to make Americans prosper.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The high court hasn't issued any ruling. They have asked for briefing on the case and briefing has come in. The Trump administration appealed. The ACLU filed its responsive appellate brief. And now the Trump administration just filed its reply. So it's fully briefed. And we're awaiting a call by the Supreme Court on the underlying substantive case.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, we have a big, beautiful body of people from whom to buy and sell goods right here in the United States. So, I mean, that's one of his goals. He's not cutting off all trade. He doesn't want to cut off all trade with all foreign countries, but he's playing some hardball.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And I heard an assessment on this morning's The Daily from their European correspondent suggesting, look, it may actually end with Europe before it even begins. They'll come to Trump. They'll strike a deal. The Europeans are feckless and have no power and no backbone. I'm sorry, but it's true. It's a lovely place to visit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But I think they will come hat in hand and try to work something out with him. And Mexico and Canada didn't get this particular round of sanctions or tariffs. They got an earlier round and actually are already changing their behavior. So it's Asia.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But they were making a point about Vietnam and these other places, which is when Trump dropped the tariffs on China first time around, China outsourced its manufacturing plants to countries like Vietnam. They do that in Mexico, too. So that they wouldn't be hit by the tariffs we put on China. So they've been doing an end around Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And that's why he did a sweeping like, now it doesn't matter if you moved it to Vietnam, we're getting them too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I'm caring mildly based on this conversation, but like, that's it, mildly. But like, we'll see.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So speaking of the Trump agenda that the left is melting down over, tariffs, yes, DEI, gender, you know, you name it. We could spend all day. Coincidentally, reemerges Kamala Harris, who decided to pop up this week at the Leading Women Defined Summit. What a terrible name for a summit. The Leading Women Defined Summit in California and had this to say, SOT26.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And then there's the second matter of whether they should be held in contempt. That was a five minute recitation of a very complex legal case. I hope I got it right. Mike Davis, why do you say the Trump administration is right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We knew.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Kamala Harris, dumb as ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Doesn't she always? The thing that's so irritating about her is like the way she talks. Like she's really... sharing something important.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, she has until what June to decide if she's going to throw a hat into that ring or keep her hat out of that ring and potentially just go for the presidential contest next time around. It will be fun to watch. Here's one more from her again, always trying to sound like she's got all the answers here. She hasn't stopped 27.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Oh, my God.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Nothing's being said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah. Oh, my God. Exactly right. Well, I I don't think she's trying to project strength. I think she's trying to project inspo. I really think she wants to be 1988 Oprah. And she thinks she's got the nuggets and that when she delivers them, we're all really going to swoon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And indeed, the crowds in front of her try to write out of politeness or just because they've been told by the Democrats they need to love her. But no one who's watching this on TV feels moved. She's not an inspirational figure. She very soon will fade away. I mean, maybe she'll run for governor of California and win because they're lunatics out there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
What about the fact that New York City is about to elect Andrew Cuomo as its mayor?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I don't like. I get it because there's a paucity of options for New York City mayor who are running. There haven't been a ton who've thrown their hat into the ring. And Mayor Adams, while he just lost the indictment against him, thanks to Trump, by the way, with prejudice, the judge insisted that it be dismissed with prejudice.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He decided to switch parties as an independent, but they're not going to reelect him. The cozying up that was necessary for him to do with Trump to get the charges dropped, Is why he can't get reelected as mayor. I think they would reelect a crook, but they're not going to reelect somebody who's cozy with Trump. Right. And so Andrew Cuomo now is 38 percent, which is what you need.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I mean, that's all you need is a divided field to get the damn nomination. And then, you know, I don't like the last time we had a Republican, truly Republican mayor. It was I think Bloomberg had already declared himself an independent when he ran and run. So was Giuliani with 9-11. It was 25 years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So I just I can't get over the fact that the city is thinking about returning the guy who did what he did to them on covid. He's he did it. It was his policies. He doesn't apologize for them. He's not sorry. He's the one who ordered covid positive patients into all the nursing homes so that the most vulnerable and elderly amongst us were almost certain to die.

I'd been off the air for almost three years, two plus years. Like he just left MSNBC and the Sunday show and nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
OK, but they have been out of control on virtually every one of his executive orders. They've paused the ban on trans individuals in the military, saying, I guess they're the commander in chief now. Trump's not. They have halted his deportations of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Those cases have raised fascinating legal and political questions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah. Yeah. It's a difference between being a platform player, you know, like Don Lemon. It's like the only reason anybody ever watched him is because he was on CNN and they had on CNN. And then I'm afraid the same is true for Chuck Todd, a platform player, and being somebody who has a genuine, powerful connection with their audience.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
There are a couple people on Fox News who I think could still do it. Definitely Gutfeld could do it. Jesse Waters could do it. But I mean, for the vast majority of news talent, they're platform players. And when they come out into the sharky oceans, they find out it's a lot harder, you know, to make it than it looks. And, you know, something I was going to say right now under Trump. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Now the social media companies are like, OK, we're going to restore a free speech. Right. I mean, from YouTube to Facebook, they're all starting to say that now. I'm glad they're finally seeing reason. But let's be honest. For the past five years, they have been censoring everybody right of center on all of our opinions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Only Elon, even Twitter was horrible until Elon, only Elon Musk in the time of war chose the right side and stood up for free speech. And honestly, it's because of him. in large part, and all of us who are out there saying the things, even when you couldn't say the things, that we preserved the right to say the things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So I'm thrilled that now these other tech companies are being like, okay, you can say the things now, but I will always look at them as cowards.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Wait, on that, that reminds me. I do need to remind my audience to send in your email. We never sell email lists. You don't have to worry about that. But we are trying to get an email list of our subscribers just in case this happens to us. If you would like to do that, please do it. Just go to megankelly.com and you'll see there how to do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But yeah, because for that reason, belts and suspenders, like you don't, you never know what big tech could do, what the next administration could bring. But I'm just saying it's like, You're right. People like those two have been out there with the benefit of, you know, liberally controlled outlets everywhere. It's been ubiquitous around them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And this is why the Snow White story, for example, has been so interesting, right? Like it's cracking. We've infiltrated even Disney now. We're able to punish the wokest people at an institution like that with our dollars and our voices in a way we could not have six years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
That's a camp I'm in.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Now they have to deal with us. It's like there have been a couple of really important moments in getting to this point. And yes, Elon buying X was a huge one. I think conservatives holding the line on Bud Light was another huge one. You know, they got that message loud and clear. Eventually, this Disney thing is important, too. It's not as big because we are we won. Trump has been elected.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We're still fighting. The woke wars aren't over. But we got our president elected and, you know, the DEI executive orders and so on. But that one was easy because she was so alienating and she just annoyed reasonable people all over the country and probably all over the ideological spectrum. And they've suffered.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I think we're going to get tired of all the winning, like Trump says. I'm looking forward to getting tired of all the winning right now. I'm not tired. I'm really enjoying it. And I think our biggest problem is to get these judges out of the way so we can let the wins unfold. And that's why the Supreme Court needs to do its job. And that's where we started the era and that's where we end it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Mike, thank you. Thank you for having me. A pleasure. Mike Solana, everybody. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Dave?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And they're saying they didn't apply and that he didn't have the authority to issue them. Both. They're arguing both. But they are complying. They are proceeding as though he did have the authority.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Okay, but Dave, how is it the federal district courts are allowed in the argument of the ACLU to decide whether there's been an incursion, a predatory incursion by a foreign government. How are they better positioned to determine that than the commander in chief and the sitting president of the United States?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
No, no, no. So let me stop you there, because there's three different ways that you can get alien alien enemies act to apply. Act of war, invasion or predatory incursion. Trump seems to be citing the latter, too. They don't seem to be arguing that we're necessarily at war with Venezuela. But for sure, he's saying if you look at his declaration, it says invasion and predatory incursion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And there are so many others that they have said they've tried to stop him on his DEI agenda, on his on his gender agenda, on cleaning up our federal employee ranks and firing dead weight. I mean, you name it, they've stopped it. And this appears to be how we're going to be living for the next four years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So there's no question that you can have those other things without Congress.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
They're not allowed to decide political questions, Dave. How is it not a political question whether we've suffered a predatory invasion from Venezuela?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And it is telling that they never they never questioned our declaration of war after 9-11. They didn't question our declaration of war with respect to Iraq or Afghanistan. The courts have typically been reluctant to go anywhere near that kind of political declaration because they understand when you're talking about political questions.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The president is at the apex of his powers and the courts to say they're at their nadir. They have nothing. They have none.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We are Katie bar the door. Let me let me read to you from Ledecky versus Watkins 1948 interpreting the Alien Enemies Act. OK, they say accordingly, we hold it the full responsibility for the just exercise of this great power under the Alien Enemies Act and the declarations may validly be left where the Congress has constitutionally placed it on the president of the United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The founders in their wisdom made him not only the commander in chief, but also the guiding organ in the conduct of our foreign affairs. He who was entrusted with such vast powers in relation to the outside world was also entrusted by Congress almost throughout the whole life of the nation with the disposition of alien enemies during a state of war.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Such a page of history is worth more than a volume of rhetoric. And they go on to say all systems of government. This is quoting from an earlier case. Suppose they are to be administered by men of common sense and common honesty in our country, as all ultimately depends on the voice of the people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
They have it in their power and it is to be presumed they generally will choose men of this description. But if they will not, the case, to be sure, is without remedy. If they choose fools, they're talking about as leaders. They will have foolish laws. If they choose knaves, they will have knavish ones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
But this can never be the case until they are generally fools or knaves themselves, which, thank God, is not likely ever to become the character of the American people. The whole thing is about how if we effed up in picking the wrong leader, politics is the remedy, not courts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The only question is whether the Supreme Court is going to start doing its job and sending a message to the lower courts that no one elected them to do anything. Literally nobody elected federal district court judges. And they're not the president. And they have a role. Absolutely. They have a role in when there's overreach. But in certain lanes, they actually don't.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. We're back home from D.C. safely and what a crazy few days it's been in the nation's capital. It's just, oh my gosh. We are less than two weeks into Trump's second term and there is more news than ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Obama created this. He's the one who lowered the standards and prioritized literally, as you said, the like severe intellectual disabilities, hiring those people. That's a real thing. We couldn't believe it, but it's true. Trump did not change it. He did not get rid of it in his first presidency the way he just did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So Trump was a little slow to get up to speed on some of these issues his first term. But now he did. Now he got out there with his executive order within hours of taking the presidency. Go ahead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Can I just add to that, Charlie? So I think about this all the time because when I was at NBC and had my calamitous downfall there, it was October of 2018. And so many people have come up to me over the years to say like, the you that went out on the air and apologized after that whole thing, after you didn't do anything wrong, bears no resemblance to the you that we see today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And they're not wrong. you know, there was a combination of things going on there. I mean, I was very beaten down by a very rough year at NBC. And once you've been flagellated enough, you kind of like, okay, I guess, you know, I'm a terrible person, like everybody says. But I can relate to exactly what you're saying, because my first instinct then, even though I knew what I was saying was true,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
was just to apologize and bend the knee because that was the culture. It was like, nobody was talking about this stuff. It was just, if you wanna have a career, if you wanna exist in polite society, when this mob turns on you, there's only one thing to do, which is to say, okay, I'll fall on my sword and move on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And it was part of my awakening, my own personal awakening to do that, to feel disgusting about what was being done to me. to realize like I knew I was a truth teller, but I had to go through this performative thing and then have things come awake for me. Like, no, wait, this is all part of a greater societal lie that's being shoved down all of our throats. It's not just about Megyn Kelly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's about what they're doing to all of us right now. And it took a lot of us a couple of years, especially, I mean, I think the post George Floyd of Palooza, as you put it, was part of the awakening where we're like, whoa, these are crazy people we've been listening to that helped us all steal our spines. And so I totally get your point. It feels very authentic to me personally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I know, so much to go over. Let's just start with the plane crash because everybody's talking about it. And those latest videos that we woke up to this morning, I mean, my jaw dropped. Yesterday I had on the show these two pilots and I showed them the video we all saw that was circulating everywhere yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
100 percent. So he is out there. I'm going to I want to get into the details of this lawsuit because it's pretty amazing what against the FAA as a result of Obama's policy put into place in 2013. It's a it's a class action by. aspiring air traffic controllers who were told they were too white. I mean, it's amazing. It's been granted class action certification and it's going forward.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So Trump got out there yesterday and said the following. Take a listen to that one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Okay, so here's what happened. In 2022, a judge approved the class action status of this lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of Columbia, D.C. It was brought by Colorado-based Montana State's Legal Foundation. Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt ran for Senate, is co-counselor. filed against the FAA.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And Laxad is alleging that he represents nearly 1,000 people who went to school to become air traffic controllers in 2014, which you may remember was a time during which Barack Obama was president. The individuals he represents passed the normal test right before the Obama administration said the class was, quote, too white. I'm quoting here from the complaint.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And threw out their tests, their successful tests, because they were too white. Totally effing illegal. The FAA put together a new test. This quiz served as further screening of applicants who had already graduated from a 200-hour training program and achieved high scores on the test, a grueling eight-hour cognitive test that measures each of the specific skills needed to do the job properly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
The new test was a biographical test with the intent of adding more African Americans to the air traffic control pool. It had never been used before. The questionnaire sought irrelevant info, such as the college subject in which I received my lowest grade. Those answering history, political science received 15 points, extra points. playing four or more sports in high school was worth five points.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
By contrast, holding a pilot's license, a major advantage for an air traffic controller, was worth only two points. And having valuable experience as an air traffic controller in the military was worth... No points at all. Lead plaintiff, Andrew Brigida, Brigida, B-R-I-G-I-D-A. His application was turned down despite achieving a perfect 100% score on the set. I mean, on the test.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And to me, it looked very much like there was a plane coming from behind, like the helicopter was coming from behind and kind of went right into the regional jet. And they explained to me that what we were seeing coming from behind there actually was not there. So you can see this light approaching. This is, forget the plane on the top of the screen. It's the lower one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And the result of this per the lawsuit is that changes to the hiring process meant many of these graduates began to be passed over in favor of applicants who had only graduated from high school. So it's crazy that Congress did force the FAA to drop this quiz in twenty eighteen. Um, and this is what we've been dealing with. Again, this is no comment on the particular controller involved in this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
We have no idea who that person was or whether they did anything wrong or below standards, but this is what we're dealing with here. And this is why Trump is assuring people that we will have a full fledged investigation to see whether any of this played a role and that this ends yesterday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And you can kind of see what looks like a plane coming right into it, the helicopter running right into the regional jet. And they said, I wasn't seeing it right, that that wasn't the helicopter coming from behind. That was a different regional jet or smaller jet. And that in fact, the helicopter had been coming from like the side and is not really that visible.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Absolutely. He learned so much. He retooled his whole team, his whole approach. He watched what happened. And then the Democratic Party truly lost its mind. Not that they were reasonable under Obama. As we point out, they were doing this stuff under him. But they lost their ever-loving minds. And so the country got to see just how crazy they are.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And they were ready for Trump to come back and implement all these things. So not only does he come out, you heard him in that soundbite there, but he actually also issued an executive action in response to the collision, saying first he's going to appoint a formal commission. And he picked the guy to head it as the deputy administrator for the FAA. He doesn't have a current FAA administrator.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So this guy, Rochelleau, Christopher Rochelleau, will be the acting guy. And secondly, he issued a memorandum ordering an immediate release. assessment of aviation safety and an elevation of competence over DEI when it comes to air travel. So that's excellent. He also did the same thing, not for nothing.

Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
He's been doing one of these kind of every other day, but one yesterday spoke to what's happening in K-12 schooling. Which is, it's about time. Now, normally schooling is handled at the local level. Normally that's a state's issue and a local issue, which is why everybody should be voting in their local school board elections and picking the right people. But the feds can influence it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And Biden's been doing exactly the opposite. He's been incentivizing, shoving things like the 1619 project down the throats of K through 12 and college educators. And now Trump is reversing all of that. And it's just so beautifully said. I have to say, I love-

Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Whoever's writing this stuff, and I know it's probably different people, a lot of Stephen Miller in here, but this one, I'll just read you in part what he wrote on the K-12 ending radical indoctrination. K-12 schooling EO signed Wednesday. In recent years, parents have witnessed schools indoctrinate their children in radical anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Such an environment operates as an echo chamber in which students are forced to accept these ideologies without question or critical examination. In many cases, innocent children are compelled to adopt identities as either victims or oppressors solely based on their skin color or other immutable characteristics.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And then today, new video surfaced that really shows what I thought I was seeing yesterday. It looks like the helicopter almost ramming into the regional jet. Here it is. And I do believe that is the helicopter hitting the regional jet. I mean, it is. It's the proper video now. It's just from a different angle. But and everybody online is saying, what's happening? What's that?

In other instances, young men and women are made to question whether they were born in the wrong body or whether to view their parents and their reality as enemies to be blamed. These practices not only erode critical thinking, but also sow division, confusion, and distrust, which undermine the very foundations of personal identity and family unity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
My administration will enforce the law to ensure the recipients of federal funds providing K-12 education comply with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination in various contexts, protecting parental rights. Oh, I mean, shoot it in my veins, Charlie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's amazing. It's beyond my wildest expectations. Question for you, as somebody who's close to Team Trump, is there any intention to try to codify any of this into law? Because, of course, the worry is... And I love the bet. I mean, I get the bet. And without... A willingness, like we don't have 60 votes in the Senate. You know, we only have 53.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
But without a willingness to pass it into law, at least we'll get the executive orders, which then will show the American people through four years of living without this mania what life can be like. Raising patriotic children. You know, not... eschewing religion everywhere and anywhere and letting DEI become their new religion.

Not transing children who may just be a little depressed because their parents got a divorce. Ideally, they'll see what life can be like without that lunacy, and the next president will be handicapped to revert back to Biden's ways if it were a Democrat. But it's much better if we can actually have laws on the books protecting women's sports.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And I know that is one that's moving through, though I've got... bad information, like upsetting information about whether that's going to get a vote in the Senate. So I don't know whether Trump can do a lot of this legislatively. What are they saying about trying to make these EOs into something more?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
What was this an intentional takedown? And then there was additional speculation. I want to underscore it turned out to be totally false that maybe the pilot of the helicopter was a trans woman. There were reports that it's a woman and we do believe it was a woman. But then people started saying it's a trans person. It's a man pretending to be a woman.

Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Before we wrap the hour, I just want to go back to that Trump presser yesterday in response to the plane crash and just give the audience a flavor for some of the Trump moments and some of the ridiculous journalistic, in quotes, moments. It's worth watching. First, here's Trump with a snarky response to a stupid question. Take a listen, Satu.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
He's in classic form right now, Charlie. He's had it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And they've attached a name to this person that it wasn't true. That person is alive and well and was not piloting that helicopter. Yeah. We don't believe it was a trans person. We believe it was an actual woman with 500 hours of flying experience. And we're told that's a decent amount. We don't know all the details. We'll find out more today. So here is what the pilot said. Stand by.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Okay, so here's another one. Caitlin Collins got up and asked a question and may have lived to regret it. Stop three.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Yeah. What a shock. Here is, um, Trump responding to Pete Buttigieg who made a similar allegation as the one you just debunked. Here he is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's pretty amazing. I mean, first of all, to your point, we just had a president who couldn't walk across a room. I know the big boy steps are now back on Air Force One. And there's a big boy in the actual chair who shows up at the White House press briefing, takes the questions himself, fires off at the reporters, gives his real opinion. Says bullshit if that's what he thinks.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I mean, it's it's very raw and it's very honest. You can tell the guy's giving us his unvarnished opinion on almost everything. He knows where to draw the line. You know, like President Trump does know not to reveal classified information, what he can and cannot say, what's appropriate. But he this is it's just so refreshing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Let me get this up so that... I can just read you. John, who was on yesterday, said to him, this does not look intentional. The helicopter was more or less following the standard helicopter route along the east side of the river. It was what they were cleared for. They were slightly high, like 100 feet and maybe a bit off course.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Of course. I mean, who could who could realistically blame this on Sean Duffy and Donald Trump? It's like they've been in office for two hot minutes. And it's really like and by the way, we don't know whether Buttigieg's and his policies are to blame either. What Trump was basically saying was your car had a massive accident.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And when I opened up the hood to see what was under there, it was a disaster. It's, I don't know whether it was this engine that was behind the actual car crash, but your car is a disaster. I've looked under the hood and there's so much for me to do here. And I resent you weighing in Pete Buttigieg at all because you helped create a lot of the problems in this department.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
What's amazing too, I have to say is, so you got Trump who, again, we see him at the Oval Office taking questions from reporters on night one, just like firing back and forth very casually. Um, I don't think there's been a day that he hasn't put himself out there publicly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
You got, um, Marco Rubio, when I interviewed him at State yesterday, I went over to State. We sat down in the State studio together. Boom, here's an hour. No problem. And he's off on his first trip as Secretary of State. Pete Hegseth, from his desk at DOD, is commenting on the fact that we're going to put some of these illegals down at Gitmo and on the airplane crash. Like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Have we ever seen the defense secretary just kind of firing off like his thoughts from it's just it's what RFK said his policies would be radical transparency at every level. I really think the American people are going to receive this extremely well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
But this would not be unusual, particularly if they were flying on night vision goggles, which we believe they may have been. It appears that they either lost sight of the regional jet or that they misidentified another jet in line behind this regional jet when they were asked by air traffic control, do you see the jet? And they said yes. Or they perhaps got distracted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And they're working together, you know, between Hegseth and Kristi Noem at the border, Hegseth and Duffy on the on the transportation. Like you can feel it. It's just there's a it's a it's a new dawn. And I think American the American public can be very grateful. More with Charlie right after this. Don't go away.

Have you seen these videos, the latest videos of the plane crash? They're very disturbing. There is understandably a lot of speculation circulating today about whether this could possibly have been intentional. When you see the way this helicopter from the new angles seem to have plowed right into the regional jet.

So yesterday we had hearings for Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard and the second day for RFKJ. I sat in for an hour plus of the Tulsi hearing and it was rather disheartening. I did not feel encouraged about her chances by the time I was done. But then later I felt encouraged when I heard what Susan Collins said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
who is this kind of Democrat masquerading as a Republican from Maine, said about her impressions. I mean, Trump lost her on Hegseth. I don't think he's going to get her on RFKJ. I don't know. But here's what I saw when she cross-examined Tulsi yesterday. Let's start there. Look at this exchange in SOT9.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
No, and it is an absurd accusation. Okay, so there's Tulsi pushing back on her. The cross-examination by Susan Collins wasn't particularly aggressive, but it kind of sounded like that. You could argue that she was just giving her a chance to respond to the things that have been alleged about her. But you could hear Tulsi sort of taking issue with even the suggestion.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Well, after the fact, Collins said, I was happy. with her responses to my questions. That, too, is a little ambiguous. What does that mean? Like you were happy she fully answered them or you liked what you heard? But I think it's somewhat positive. Net net. I don't think she would have used the word happy if she were going to vote against her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Now, that doesn't answer the question of whether Tulsi gets through, because there are a lot of Republican senators there who seem to not like fans of Tulsi's, um, Cornyn of Texas Langford of Oklahoma. They did not seem like fans, Charlie. Um, and she certainly had a few Democrats who seemed very against her. So what do you think is going to happen with Tulsi?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Then Wiz, who was the helicopter – oh, he was a – Top Gun instructor and graduate. He said, it does not look intentional to me. It literally looks like they are just clueless about the regional jet. Remember, pilots can be heads down in the cockpit looking at stuff. They're not always looking out the front window.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
If both pilots are looking at something inside the cockpit or entering something into a computer, nobody's looking out the window, especially if they believe they had the traffic in sight that was a threat to them. which clearly was the wrong traffic. In other words, he's saying too, when they said they saw the jet, they were probably looking at the wrong jet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
The risk in them doing it is, you know, what we think is that if they sink her nomination, it will be the Republicans who sink her. I mean, that's what's going to happen here because they have the majority. Of course, and we won't know. But they were even harder on her yesterday than the Dems. Honestly, it was tough to find somebody who sounded like they were going to defend her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
She handled herself beautifully. I mean, she was... Yes, she really did. Elegant. She was, she never, never lost her cool. I mean, it was actually an example in how to handle yourself, but there was absolutely no warmth coming her way from the other side of the aisle. I mean, I should mean, I mean, across the hearing room, whether you were on the left or the right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So I left worried and my pal Glenn Greenwald, who's a big Tulsi advocate is worried too. And I just don't even know what to do to help her, Charlie. I don't I'm not sure how.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
There's no way two aviators in an army helicopter would fly directly into a landing regional jet. So both of our experts who have no dog in this hunt say this does not look intentional to them. They believe it was just a catastrophic error. Anyway, your take on it, Charlie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
All right, let's talk about RFKJ. So I didn't get to the soundbite yesterday, but there was a pretty extraordinary... There were a couple of extraordinary exchanges in his day two in front of the health committee confirmation hearing. He had to go through two. And Rand Paul is just a star. I mean, he... Good luck challenging Rand Paul on medical issues. Just ask Dr. Fauci how that went.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Rand Paul is one of the reasons Dr. Fauci felt he needed a pardon because it seemed clear that Dr. Fauci lied to Rand Paul's face repeatedly while under oath about his gain of function, involvement, and so on. And Rand Paul just knew the questions to ask Dr. Fauci during the relevant time. He's been very fearless.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So he used his time at this confirmation hearing to respond to Senator Cassidy, who also is a doctor. And Senator Cassidy of Louisiana. Cassidy's a problem. He's a problem. He's a pivotal, pivotal vote on this. So I'm going to set it up by showing you Cassidy and RFKJ on vaccines. And then I'm going to show Rand Paul using his time to respond to it. I mean, it may all come down to this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So take a look at Cassidy in SOC 20.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
So in response to that, here's Rand Paul. It's Hot 21.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I mean, that's what grandpa understands.

Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I just, to me, it's so infuriating. I give my kids all the vaccines. They're not vaccine injured. Thank God, by the way, highly recommend the shingles vaccine as an adult, because you can get it in your eye. It's just disgusting. Anyway, apparently it's very, very painful too, but that's an adult. That's an adult decision. You can decide whether you want these vaccines or not, but.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Bobby Kennedy, they were all over him on the vaccines. As the audience now knows, he was on the show for four hours. We just spent two, two full hours on vaccines and not COVID vaccines. These vaccines that he's getting cross-examined over, MMR vaccine and his long history of alleged vaccine denialism that he got cross-examined over, over and over and over and over again.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And the long and the short of it is Bobby Kennedy jumped up and down and said, there's, there's, there's mercury in these vaccines, and I don't know that it's safe. And they said, you're crazy. It's totally safe. You're a nutcase. And what wound up happening? They took it out. And we went to all of Bobby Kennedy's critics who said, he's got this problem with mercury in the vaccines.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Mercury is totally safe. It's safe. It's safe. And then Bobby Kennedy came out and he explained this all on our show about how it was methylmercury that they were saying was safe. And they said that it was problematic, but it was this other ethylmercury. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And long story short, the one that they said was totally unassailable stayed in the brain of the monkeys that were tested for months afterward. He explains it all, all right? Good luck challenging him on the science behind the vaccines. The bottom line is they took out the mercury. The same group that had been saying it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, took it out. Not because of him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
They had a closed door meeting and they said, you know what, let's remove it. But there's nothing to see here. There's nothing to see here. And then they put aluminum in these vaccines, which works. It's not exactly a preservative. It does something else for the vaccines. But that too is a potential neurotoxin. And then they say, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Just shove it in your baby and don't give it two thoughts. But all of this is going on while the toxic stew that our children are swimming in was growing exponentially from the pollutants in their water and the fluorine and the chloride to the pollutants in their food, to the pollutants that is on your sofa and the baby toys and the baby bottles and all around them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And Bobby Kennedy has been saying, can we just pause a little to figure out what's causing this? Why are the allergies doing this? Why are the ticks doing this? Why is the autism doing this? Why was this something you never even heard of when I was a child to something that is one in 30 now? And they look at him and they say, you're a kook. You're dangerous. You, you're dangerous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's infuriating. It's infuriating to be standing on my side of the aisle with children or yours and to just, and again, with, with God, Thank God, perfectly healthy children to say, why are you so determined to stop the questions? And the COVID vaccine is even a more persuasive case where you've got young boys, 15 year old boys with myocarditis dying, dying, and they won't acknowledge it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's truly like the warning labels are like, you could try this to decrease your skin itchiness, but it may cause testicular boils.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Who in their right mind would sign on to that? I do want to say this to Senator Cassidy, whose vote we really need in with all due respect. And by the way, I asked the audience to call his office yesterday and give him the number. And I said I would call. And I did. I personally called. It was actually very funny.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
The guy was like, the the Megyn Kelly? I'm like, yes, the Megyn Kelly. I want you. And he was like, do you live in Louisiana? I'm like, no, but I have a loud mouth and I have a lot of listeners who do. OK, they took the number down. But here's the email that you're supposed I asked. And they told me the email is Hannah H-A-N-N-A-H underscore bar B-A-R-R at Cassidy dot Senate dot gov.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Hannah underscore bar H-A-N-N-A-H underscore B-A-R-R at Cassidy dot Senate dot gov. And I think with all due respect to Hannah, and I'm sure she's a lovely person, and Senator Cassidy follows me on X, so I'm sure he saw the posts I sent his way yesterday. They need to hear from us directly. And here's why I feel so passionately about it, Charlie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Forget all that stuff about MMR vaccine, which will not be banned. Trump has said it will not be banned. Bobby has said it will not be banned. Bobby's past work to ask questions about it is in the past. He's not going to make this an issue. He's made that really clear. He has his beliefs about it, but Trump is the boss.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Look at the COVID vaccine and what you said, how no one's allowed to ask questions about it. One of the people I ran into when I showed up at the RFKJ hearing was a guy named Carl Warner. And, and I know Kyle, Kyle Warner, because he came on the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Exactly right. He's a mountain biker. And he came on the show during the height of the COVID nonsense and told his story. He lives in Oregon. All right. This is not some far right dude. And talked about what happened to him after this vaccine. And here's a clip of it. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I don't, I'm only anxious now because my heart is racing and I'm worried about my heart. It's episode 222. It's very worth your time to go back and listen to Kyle's story. There's a reason he showed up. This is about more than the MMR vaccine, which is fine. It's in place. It's not going anywhere.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's about a whole, I know it gets overused, but medical industrial complex that cares more about hooking you on drugs like SSRIs and taking every single vaccine so that they can make a ton of money like Pfizer did, like Moderna did. They cannot be sued. And then they don't care. When you get vaccine injured like Kyle, they don't give a shit. Well, RFKJ cares. Jay Bhattacharya is going to care.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Marty McCary, ideally at FDA, is going to care. And you need a disruptor like RFKJ at the top to run herd on it. Someone who will not be bullied by these behemoths who have more money than God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
What is Callie Means saying? What is Dr. Casey Means behind him saying? They are talking about the toxins all throughout our society. Nicole Shanahan, who is RFKG's running mate. All these people are talking about what causes the obesity. You know, you may be right that it's not entirely your fault, but the solution for a 13-year-old is not Ozempic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
It's to get him off of nonstop processed foods, which make you more fat, to get him off of seed oils, which, I mean, go back, and there's a lot of medical research on this now that talk about how that makes you more prone to hold onto your fat. Why are we demonizing meat, right, and lionizing bread for these kids? This team is going to stop all of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And they're just, you know, whistling into the wind right now because they're being painted as a bunch of new age kooks. I totally agree with you. And honestly, like I know Ozempic has helped a lot of people, but it is a totally different game when you are an adult and you are capable of assessing risk versus being a child. I also want to say something else. There was a Singer?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I saw her video on X. I didn't know this young woman, but she said she was only like 19 or 20 and she went on Ozempic and she was warning everybody that it caused massive bone density loss, that she was already suffering from osteoporosis and osteoporina. I forget the word.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
This is, I suffered from osteoporosis. This is years ago. This is even before Ozempic was a thing. I just wound up having kind of old lady bones. I don't know why it happens a lot to thin women who aren't like, it can be helpful to be a heavier person. Cause like you're, you're pounding your bones while you walk. And a lot of thin women wind up with this condition.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Anyway, not for nothing, I've said this before, but I did go on this once a month injectable drug called E-Venity for whatever it's worth for 12 months. And truly it like cured the osteoporosis. Like it was gone. And yeah, I got to do a maintenance routine for like a year, the three years I think it is. But it's a miracle. For me, it was a miracle drug. Check with your own doctor, do all that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
But I just wanted that young woman. I don't know how to reach this young woman, but I'm like, she should know about this. Not everybody knows about this drug. Okay, so anyway. That's, that's RFKJ. I don't know what's going to happen with him. Do you want to handicap that one?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
OK, I like that. I feel like Senator Cassidy is going to do the right thing. He seems like a good man to me. It doesn't seem like a lunatic with like a political agenda. I think he'll listen. I hope he'll listen. I hope he calls me now. Cash Patel is going to make it. But that one was just kind of fun. I mean, that was that was just fun to watch. It was really fun. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
The exchange with Amy Klobuchar. Let me just kick it off with that one, because I loved it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
I enjoyed seeing him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
He was in SOT 12, just to give people a flavor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
That was amazing. It was obviously a rip on what they'd been doing to him. Nobody gave him any time to answer any questions. Right. I mean, I'm sorry.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Yeah. No, I'm just saying, like, I'll give you one other example. Like here, for example, is how Maisie Hirono, the star of the Senate. How did Tulsi Gabbard and Maisie Hirono come from the same state? OK, here she is. This is what she did to him. Watch.

So Trump's amazing executive orders and the Lake and Riley Act now being signed into law, they are not going without some pushback from the Democrats. And of course, the pushback is just in so many corners. racist, elitist, classist, right? This is where they go every time. Like, who is going to mow my lawn?

And that's smoothie. We saw some of this on display at Caroline Leavitt, who's the new press secretary. She's doing a great job. She's out there. She's being just as combative as the media deserves.

something unusual that, uh, the air traffic, the reason why the air traffic controller was handling both plane landings and helicopter landings at the same time, which is usually a job for two people quoting here from the times is because a supervisor combined those duties sometime before 9 30 PM and allowed one controller to leave the

Before we get away from illegal immigration, listen to this Al Jazeera journalist trying to justify why it's going to be very tough for these countries of origin to take back their illegals.

Well, my take on it is now Trump says he's going to be sending them down to Gitmo. Great. Let's see if these countries of origin object. Right. You may get countries like Colombia, which are like, fine, great. Keep them at Gitmo. The point is, get them out of the United States. They shouldn't be our problem.

according to a person briefed on the staffing who is not authorized to speak publicly. So for some reason we were undermanned in the air traffic control tower that night, one person was controlling both helicopters and planes, which was a break from protocol.

Not to get too grim, but this is where you find out that the kid was forgotten in the back of the car on a 100-degree day because they broke protocol. They broke the way they normally do it, and something went catastrophically wrong. Nobody meant for it to happen.

It's just certain patterns get in place, and people do them ritualistically, and when you throw a fly into that ointment, things can go wrong. And they're saying that there should have been two air traffic controllers there and that for some reason they let one go early that night. And then what happens this? Now, people aren't really pointing to the air traffic controller.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
Some people are saying that the air traffic controller should have said rather than do you see the plane should have said pull up, you know, like a direction to the air to the helicopter as opposed to just relying on. the understanding that they were talking about the same regional jet. Obviously something went very wrong in the communications, but that's something to look at.

Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
And then separate it apart from that, or maybe it won't be separate and apart, we just don't know yet, is the whole discussion this has raised about DEI. Because the problem here, Charlie, is that there is no question we are undermanned in our air traffic control towers. And one of the reasons we are undermanned is because they've apparently made a big push since Obama's presidency,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
to eliminate or reduce the whites. They really had enough of trained white male pilots and people with air traffic control experience who happen to have piloting experience if they happen to be white and created this whole test For people to get in, that would rank your abilities. That's right. If you played four college sports, you got like four points.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Charlie Kirk on Tulsi and RFK's Fight Ahead, DEI vs. Merit, and Elites Against Trump's Immigration Policies | Ep. 997
But if you had actual piloting experience in the military, you had zero points added to your resume to the point where there's this massive class action going forward by white guys saying this is illegal. You cannot discriminate against us based on our race, based on our gender. And this has been ongoing. So your thoughts on it?

But he didn't, but he, he did it. He created it in 2019. That isn't true. We actually went back and looked.

that will pull wokeness, DEI, and radical, you know, race essentialism and gender ideology out of the federal museums, including most specifically the Smithsonian, the zoo, he mentioned.

And so Trump is actually going to take a look, because, for example, at this women's museum... that's being built. He says specifically they were about to put trans women, meaning men, posing as women, and honors to them in this thing of Trump is stopping it in its tracks.

This has been one of, if not the biggest legal matter that they've been hashing out in the courts, though how can you really choose? And Trump lost on Wednesday with a divided DC Circuit three-judge panel. A Trump-appointed judge would have sided with the administration. An Obama-appointed judge sided with the ACLU. And the splitter was an H.W.

You know how like after 100 days, the news media always looks back and says like, what did this president accomplish? It's only day 67. He's lived up to virtually every single campaign promise he made. It's absolutely stunning.

Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
They want the high court to lift that temporary restraining order so they can continue deporting these Venezuelan illegals and shipping them off to El Salvador during the pendency of the litigation. And I was unclear when we started whether Justice Roberts could do this, Chief Justice, alone. And I was right. He can do it alone. He's the Chief Justice of the United States.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
And each justice on the court has a region of the country for which he or she is responsible. And as the chief justice, he oversees the D.C. region, which is where this case is coming out of because all these federal government agencies are in D.C. Anyway, that's where it is. And so John Roberts, if he wants to, can grant the relief himself. He could, with the stroke of his pen, lift the TRO.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
and say, have at it, Trump. And then the case would go back down to Judge Boasberg for litigation on the merits. They would hash it out. It's not a final adjudication, but it is on the TRO. It's in a form of relief that he could grant to Trump. Or he could say, I'll give you an expedited briefing schedule in front of the United States Supreme Court at large.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
And so we'll keep the pedal down, but we'll let all nine of us decide whether you can do this. Or he could just deny it. and say, I'm not dealing with any of this yet and kick it back down, which would be a loss for Trump. So Trump could win with a stroke of a Robert's pen. He could lose with a stroke of a Robert's pen, or he could get a hearing in front of the all nine justices.

And how insane it is and how, you know, you... you'd get fined $40,000 for dumping potable water, like water that one could drink.

The Alien Enemies Act can be used by a president when it's not technically a time of war, meaning war hasn't been declared by Congress, but the president has used other language from the Alien Enemies Act to declare an invasion or an incursion. Now, Judge Boasberg was not convinced that a president can do that by proclamation and that if he can, it's an appropriate circumstance here.

But first, just let me give you a couple of the headlines we're looking at this morning. We've got Elon Musk's Doge now going on real offense. This seems like overdue to me because, look, they've been taking such a beating in the press in terms of their reputation and so on. And finally, they spoke out. They went on with Brett Baer last night, Elon, and some of his top lieutenants in Doge.

Mm-hmm. I don't, you know, this clearly has the support, I think, of most Americans. The deportation plan in general, Mark, has the support of most Americans. Maybe they've got some questions on Tyrande or Aragua, but if so, that hasn't manifested in any polls I've seen. I think, you know, the more dangerous the potential illegals are, the more Americans want them gone.

So what's going to happen there and why does everyone care so very much? And is it redistricting that this court is going to have the final say on?

So, Dan, is what's going to happen? Let's say that if the Democrat wins, then the Democrats control that court. And then is it true that that could mean as many as two congressional seats, additional congressional seats for the Democrats?

But you tell me how you see it, because as a legal matter, it's tricky, but I think Trump's in the right. But the biggest matter will be politically. If the Supreme Court doesn't uphold the D.C. Circuit and allows Trump to do this, how does it play? And if they don't allow Trump to do this, how does it play?

Here's how the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals saw it, Dan. They said, we understand that the government is arguing that we've had these unwanted illegals come into the country unlawfully and you're calling it an invasion or an incursion. But the court said... Those terms, as used in this statute, must be considered in their military sense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
Now, already, as a lawyer, I'm thinking, okay, that's fine. Who has the ultimate say on military calls? It's the commander-in-chief. It's not Judge Boesberg. And it's not even the U.S. Supreme Court. And if you read the terms of the Alien Enemies Act— It specifically says that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
I mean, the Supreme Court's already said we don't have jurisdiction to review commander in chief calls under this, but under very limited circumstances, they can review a couple of pieces of it. So in any event, that's what they said. First of all, those terms invaded or encourage incursion has to be considered in the military sense. And then they go on to say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
OK, these words in the statute must be read to mean, quote, a hostile encroachment by a nation state and concluded that these conditions do not exist because we haven't had a hostile encroachment by a nation state. Now, if this stuff about Trenda Aragua is true, that's a very different story. And Judge Boasberg had no right to shut down the commander in chief's call on this because

And what a difference. I think the numbers on Doge are going to go up after that interview and pretty quickly, their efforts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. Now having seen them, I'm like, why did they let this image of just young whippersnappers in their backpacks and like surfer boy clothes go on as long as they did? These are studs and they should have been put out there a little earlier.

just with his pen. He hasn't had an evidentiary hearing at all. He shut it down saying, I believe they're gonna win. And the DC Circuit Court said, yeah, us too. And now if the Supreme Court doesn't step in, this whole policy could be shut down, even though the Venezuelans really may be trying to send an incursion into the United States because Judge Boasberg thinks he knows better.

Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
Yeah, with the worst of the worst, at least in some cases. The Trump administration is asking for an urgent review at the U.S. Supreme Court. And my understanding is, though, I'm going to have to go back and check this, but my understanding is it's potential. It's potentially the case that Chief Justice John Roberts will be able to grant that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
I know he can either at least grant them urgent review. My only question is whether he can actually, without the support of at least four justices in this circumstance, reverse the temporary restraining order being blocked. Anyway, I'll find out. But this is getting hotter, this whole case. And now it's going up to the big boys and girls who actually will... have the final say.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Shocking DOGE Findings, Elon vs. Sen. Kelly, and Hillary's Hypocrisy, with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 1037
And one of the reasons why that's good is because I've made this point on this case before, but the Supreme Court's more aware than anyone, more aware than anyone, Mark, that they don't have police power. And that the only thing that gets us to comply with their rulings is our general respect for the rule of law for one another.

And online, there were some complaints that some of the women who had been invited to the first signing of the EO, like Riley Gaines,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
and some of the others who have been in commercials with her and so on, were not invited back. Oh, I think because yesterday or the day before was about NCAA. The NCAA... made a deal of like going along with Trump's EO, like, okay, we're not gonna allow boys and women sports. And it turned out to be full of loopholes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I mean, all of my women who I follow on this issue online have been jumping up and down, very pissed off at the NCAA for trying to make it look like they're on board with the Trump EO, but actually creating a policy through which any truck could be driven. And so the NCAA hasn't satisfied team reality when it comes to sex and gender at all. And they've been outspoken about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
That includes Riley and some pointing out that she was not invited back. The White House saying, well, we just wanted to make room for other athletes. But look, let's face it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
you know, who among us hasn't been burned by criticizing, it could be the Trump White House, could be the Biden, whatever, someone in power with whom you were getting along and then you do something that pisses them off and you get put in the penalty box. I will say my own experience with Trump, and I think I'm a great person to speak to this, is
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
You may go into the penalty box for a time, but you will come out of the penalty box. Trump can get mad at you. I'm sure his staff can get mad at you, but they're not real grudge holders. So my advice to all these people is just hold on to your integrity, you know, report it as it comes, whatever, whether it makes them look bad or good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And both your audience and the man you so admire will get past it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I love it. And not coincidentally, very beautiful women as well. All right, let's start with the absolute bust of Epstein. This was such a joke. So I'm not, everything about this was poorly handled. I'm a big Pam Bondi fan. I love that she's running DOJ.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I agree. So we've botched round one of the big Epstein file release. And at the same time in the news yesterday was the return of the despicable Tate brothers to the United States. Now, I don't know much about the brother Tristan, but I've seen enough about Andrew Tate to realize he's a disgusting pig misogynist. And that's fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
You can be a disgusting pig misogynist and live in the United States of America. It's really not much of my business. His return to the United States. OK, I don't really care. I mean, he's an American citizen. He's got dual citizenship, U.S. and U.K.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So I guess he's allowed to come back because supposedly these charges against him for sex trafficking, et cetera, in Romania, some have been dropped due to some prosecutorial negligence in the case and others are remaining. They're supposed to go back to Romania in the next year or so to go answer more. They're also facing potential charges in the UK, same type of thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
What I care about, because I don't know the legalities and I haven't looked into them, so I'm not going to, you know, tie them up there. What I know is he's a disgusting, vile creature with whom I want nothing to do. And the more influence he has over the young men of America, the more my stomach turns. And it's because Andrew Tate is not just an alleged criminal. Put that to the side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
He's just a very bad man. And I'll give you an example in this butted shot that we've pulled, which will give you a feel for why I loathe him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Okay. Credit to Milk Bar TV for putting together that montage. We have ones we could go through that would take us all day with young women in tears about what they claim he did to them, about alleged beatings. I mean, videotapes that purport to show that. We haven't been independently able to verify this stuff, so I'm not going to put it on the air. I'm just saying there's a ton.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
One of the things she's doing right now, which I greatly appreciate, is she's dropping all the bullshit Biden DOJ investigations into various police and fire forces across the country for not... lowering their test standards so that more women could get involved or changing the test so that more African Americans qualified than actually passed the test.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
You could swim in an ocean of that stuff around the sky or All day long. And for some reason, his status has somewhat divided conservatives. Like, there's a faction of the right that is celebrating him, and I guess his brother, too. Their return to the United States. There was even a report that...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Rick Grinnell, who has been getting hostages out of places like Venezuela, was instrumental in orchestrating their return. He's denied it, but it's been admitted that he at least had a conversation, I think, with a Romanian foreign minister about the Tates. Now he's claiming he didn't insist that they be allowed home, but suddenly they got released to come back home.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So I don't know what the truth is there either. But I'll tell you what I do know, and that is that there is a group called the Tampa Bay Young Republicans, which is a young Republican group down in Tampa Bay that has decided to invite this guy and his brother to come speak to them. This is what they tweeted out. TBYR formally welcomes these two guys to Florida.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
As free speech absolutists, the Tates haven't been formally convicted of any crimes and are welcome to speak to our group. We're old enough to remember when a convicted felon won the presidency. Like every claim against any Republican is bullshit, Emily. And like all we really need to care about is whether you're facing criminal charges as opposed to whether you're a piece of human excrement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And they've denied all the charges. I should remind people, but keep going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
They were getting sued by Biden's DOJ left and right. Today, she's dropping them all. Great. She's doing a great job. But the Epstein file thing was a disaster. They embarrassed themselves and it seems like a totally unnecessary thing. Like they stepped on a rake for no apparent reason.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
about his significant others. And let's face it. I mean, only a sad little man would be talking about how he's going to beat the hell out of a woman. And I punch her in the face. I punch her. All right, tough guy. Okay, right. And no real man would actually behave that way. Nevermind brag about it. That's the thing. So it's like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I look at the men I know in the conservative movement, and they're absolutely lovely. Most of them tend to be married. They have long-term marriages. They have families that they love and support. And there's absolutely nothing even questionable about their romantic choices or their love lives. It's not to say nobody's ever made a mistake.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I'm just saying that this is not representative at all of the new right. And when we talk about what's been done to men and boys on the right— This is not the antidote. Like this actually is toxic masculinity, people. This is what the real version of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And in our, you know, push to say, stop using that absurd term over anybody who just stands up for himself and man, manliness, masculinity, stop using that term. We're right. But then we too need to be able to look at the Andrew Tate's of the world and say, that's what you're looking for right there. And we condemn it too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
At all. I mean, this guy's so vile. I really hope he doesn't get platformed by any group, never mind a Republican group. Talk about bad for the brand. There is a world of difference between Donald Trump and Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate is what the left thinks Donald Trump is, okay? Try not to lean in, young Republicans. I really hope they reverse their decision. There's been no formal invitation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
What happened yesterday was a bunch of right-wing influencers were invited to the White House and they were given binders that said like Epstein phase one, like the phase one release. Okay. That was interesting. Um, you know, it was, I'm not going to lie. This was a little awkward because it was very celebratory.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
There's been no acceptance from what I've seen, but they're just proudly waving it around out there like they think this is a virtuous course. Okay, shifting gears. Yesterday, I went down to Washington, D.C. after I taped the show yesterday early in the morning, which is why I was a little shorter than normal because I had to catch a flight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So I go down because Ben Smith, formerly of the New York Times, formerly of BuzzFeed, now runs and founded Semaphore, which is trying to be a less partisan news outlet. Like they do more than just politics. And he asked me if I would go down and speak at his kind of conference. And I said, yes, I know him a little bit from the summers. He and I go to the same place on the Jersey Shore at times.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And so I said, yes. And while I like Ben, I have to say my own experience was Ben doesn't understand what we're doing at all. Not here at the Megyn Kelly show, not with what you do, Emily online. He's still stuck very much still in legacy media.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And I would submit to the audience that his questions to me showed that it also showed a lack of familiarity with what we do here on this particular show and what. I sound like in anchoring this show. So I put together some of the questions just so you could see what I'm talking about. And you'll get you'll get a feel for his questions here in Sot5.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
By the way, what I said about Elon's partner and the baby would have been nothing. But she decided to go public and then to play the victim. And my point was simply... You went after her. Okay. So perhaps you've gotten a flavor of what Ben Smith thinks of the Megyn Kelly show. It does not appear that he is a daily watcher.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It appears he's been consuming his information about us from left-wing blogs, which is, I guess, not a surprise. But I personally felt that that was a really grossly unfair characterization in those questions. And those are the questions he asked. I think there were two others that weren't about my particular show. Um, that I just thought it was very slanted against what we do here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And the Epstein story is about his alleged molestation and inappropriate behavior with very young girls. So it's just one of those things you got to be careful because you don't want to look like you're celebrating anything having to do with that. But I understand that the celebration was around the fact that finally we might be getting the full story on Epstein.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And he obviously, I think has an upturned nose when it comes to digital media in general. And I'll give you one other just to kick it off, Emily. And that is, you heard him say there that you spoke for president Trump the night before the election and you were very focused on masculinity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Like that's why you were voting for Donald Trump masculinity, which is also totally false and not what I said at that rally. What I said was he's under fire right now for having said he will protect women. And I believe he will protect women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And I welcome that both on behalf of myself, my daughter and other people's daughters, because I think he'll close the border and we won't have more Lake and Riley's. And I think he'll close women's sports to men and boys. And we won't have more Peyton McNabs, the girl who got hurt in North Carolina, thanks to the spiked volleyball in her face. That's what I said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And I also spoke of the forgotten boys in this country and what's been done to them as we've demonized boys over the past 10 years. It wasn't about fucking masculinity, but that's what a leftist hears when you say that kind of stuff about President Trump. Anyway, your thoughts on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah, exactly. Right. I, it's so funny to me that, you know, here's this man formerly of the times, formerly of Buzzfeed looking at me, you know, the lady anchor, like, wouldn't it be better for you if somebody were able to control you? So you didn't, you didn't get, you know, go off the rails so much. Like, and I, of course I was like, no, I mean just the implication of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Like I'm not responsible for what I say. And I, I wish someone could come into this show and put the bridal on. Poor Steve Krakauer just isn't able to do it. It's so ridiculous. It's ridiculous. That's not how it's ever worked, frankly, between me and my producers. Though at Fox, I understood there were guardrails in terms of how to behave on cable news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So here he pivots from that Trump speech I gave the night before the election into this. This is where he takes it. Satu.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So they got those files, those folders from Pam Bondi. It sat in a meeting, according to them, with Pam Bondi, who gave them the files. Like, here they are. Here's tranche one. And absolutely nothing was in them. It came out later from those influencers, among others, who I think were also disappointed. Absolutely everything in there was already known.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
No, not at all. I mean, our numbers are huge. I know you just had CNN on. In January, last month, on their YouTube feed, they got 155 million views, and we were 147 million. Just me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Exactly. Well, I'm just saying that's one show, the Megyn Kelly show, just me and my six producers versus every single show on CNN, every single thing they put on YouTube. I was within six or seven million of them. The month of the election, November, I beat them. I beat all of them. By the way, I beat NBC, I beat CBS, all of them regularly, the Sky News. November, I beat them all, all of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, all of them. So I'm not having a trust issue. Right. He's he's suggesting people aren't going to trust you. They're going to think you're in the tank. Like, aren't you a hack now because you spoke for Trump? And again, this is why I say, like, he doesn't watch the show. He doesn't understand what we do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Everybody listening to the show right now knows I do criticize Trump and his administration plenty. I mean, just look at our show yesterday where we opened up is before I sat with him talking about how I I did not agree with what they were doing on the press pool. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Like Trump didn't speak to me for the better part of late 23, early 24, because he was angry about that interview he gave me where I pressed him on some of the lawfare questions. It's not pleasant. It's not pleasant to be on the wrong side of the president. I like him. So I want him to like me. But my job and my integrity is more important to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But all these questions were geared toward you've sold your soul. You've become a hack. You just do things to get patted on the head by the president and YouTube views.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It's a difference between owning your bias and then proceeding accordingly, trying to do the best you can as a fair commentator and journalist or just pretending it doesn't exist and then leaning into your bias because you want to express it through the news coverage, which you are pretending is fair and objective. Right. It's like this way. I tell you what I'm rooting for.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Then I try to give you fair coverage, and anything I say that's opinion, you know, is from that perspective. What the mainstream does, so-called, is they don't own any of their bias. They claim they have none, and they just manifest it through their alleged fact reporting, which is just so pernicious. I mean, that's why they're failing. Here was the capper, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So we get to the question about Tucker Carlson. Years ago, Tucker was doxxed. These hateful leftist groups showed up at his home in Washington, D.C., where his wife was alone. One of his children may have been home as well. I can't remember right now. But for sure, Tucker wasn't there and his wife was in there and scared.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Not a single new thing was printed or offered. And this whole thing had been some sort of a rope-a-dope. I don't think it was designed to make any of the right wing influencers look dumb, but they were not well served by the DOJ yesterday. The DOJ should have been more careful before they did that to some of the most ardent allies to the Trump administration. It was kind of bullshit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
They were angry and they were chanting and they were getting all in his lawn. He was he had been doxxed and now his wife was threatened. And Ben Smith actually tried to compare my comments the other day about Rachel Maddow's sanctimony to that. Watch this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Google Megyn Kelly NBC and tell me whether the journalists don't go after each other personally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
No. I would never give out her address. That would be a bridge too far, and it doesn't compare to what happened to Tucker in any way, shape, or form. But Rachel Maddow got out there and tried to act like, oh, I'm a woman of the working class. I'm here to represent the poor staffers who could lose their jobs now as a result of Joy Reid biting it. And meanwhile, she's collecting $25 million a year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
She's got multiple homes worth millions. You know what? Why don't you take a $2 million pay cut and save 10 of those jobs? If you feel that said, you don't even have to pay it out of your bank account. Just tell them, pay me 23 million next year instead of 25. She won't do it. She wants to seem virtuous and sanctimonious.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But in fact, she's only the latter because she won't actually put any money on the line. And an example of the exorbitant life she leads while she's trying to remind us, oh, I've worked so many jobs. The jobs I've worked puts to the point her hypocrisy. What'd you make of that one, Emily?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
That's right. They don't go after each other if it's another liberal. That's exactly right. But if you're a conservative, you've been fair game for a long time, which again, Ben Smith does not understand. But just as a refresher, my team did put together a few examples of people violating the gentleman's agreement about which we know nothing. And I've been in cable news for 20 years. Here it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I was pissed on their behalf. And then by the end of the day, what you had was Pam Bondi firing off a nasty missive to Kash Patel saying, where are my files? I demanded from the FBI that they all be given to me. They weren't. I've been told by a whistleblower the FBI withheld certain critical Epstein documents. When I spoke to you earlier, you were as surprised by this as I was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It's weird how I didn't get the memo on the gentleman's agreement that Ben Smith and his anonymous broadcast source received. Hello, wake up. As they say in that one of my favorite movies, get in the game. These people have been slinging it at us for years. And if they can't take some mild, hey, she's rich and sanctimonious pushback. What I mean, there's what more can we say?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Well, it's funny because he said, you know, she said, there's this gentleman's agreement. And I laughed and said, why don't you try Googling Megyn Kelly at NBC and say, and he had no interest in following up. And the other thing was, he said, I said, the relationship between me and my audience is authentic and it's tight. We're close and they've got my back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
In part because if I do make a mistake, I will correct myself. And he said, well, have you, like what? And I said, well, like I was way too believing of the COVID vaccines and the manufacturers that if something went wrong or people had serious side effects that they would do something about it. They would own it and do something about it. And I was dead wrong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And I've owned that with my, and he moved on. You couldn't have gotten off of that faster. He was like, oh shit, that's not what I was hoping you were going to say. He was like, I was only hoping you'd say something that would be pleasing to me and not my audience here. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Well, I still like Ben Smith, and I believe that if I were to sit with him again, he would do a better job of trying to understand what it is we do here at the MK Show. But as it was, it was kind of fun. Being on the opposite end of adversarial media always is. Emily, great to see you up next. Red Scare.

Well, I screwed it up. Katchian. Katchian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I always screwed it up. Anna, sorry. Katchian. And Dasha Nekrasova. Ladies, welcome back. Thank you. Thanks for having me. It's great to have you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And we've got our martinis made by Doug Brunt. So here's to Doug. Cheers, Doug. Love Doug Brunt. Great to have you back. Great to be here. And perhaps appropriate for our Russian vodka. That's nice. Or not, given the circumstances. President Zelensky is sitting in the Oval Office right now, and it's not going well. This is just coming across the wires. We've got a soundbite.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Apparently what teed this particular exchange you're about to hear off is Zelensky was maintaining that Trump, he's sitting there with Trump and J.D., that Trump cannot trust Vladimir Putin, and things went downhill from there. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Oh, joy. The Epstein files were a total bust. And I have a lot to say about my day in Washington, D.C. yesterday in front of all the media head honchos. Joining me later in the studio today, the ladies of Red Scare. But first, Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for Unheard and host of Undercurrents. These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And so the whole thing wound up being somewhat embarrassing unnecessarily for, I think, the well-meaning right wing influencers that showed up there willing to report on whatever news is given to them. P.S. It was nothing. on Pam, on Kash Patel. And for what? Why? Why did this have to happen?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
OMG. Zelensky said this right before those exchanges. We signed a deal with Putin. He did not keep it. What kind of diplomacy are you talking about? Saying that, you know, President Trump's attempts to solve this diplomatically aren't going to work. And you can see that did not go over well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
with either of the two men he really could use on his side. Just so the audience knows, you were born in Russia. Yeah, and you're from Belarus.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah, right. So I mean, you understand this region of the world a bit. What did you see there?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Oh, no, you're good. You got it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah. But it just, when I look at that, I'm like, why would you do anything other than be magnanimous? And frankly, like, suck up to president Trump. Who's got the deepest pockets of anybody who's helped him and could help him and is very interested in striking a deal to wrap this thing up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Now, whether he likes the terms or not, that that can all be negotiated, but why put him in an angry mood while you're in the oval?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And there's a new sheriff in town. This is the man right there. That man with the crazy blonde hair needs to like you, needs to believe in you. And we'll play more as we get it. But this is absolutely foolhardy of Zelensky. You get invited to the Oval Office. There's really only one posture you can take. You maintain your dignity, of course.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yes, as a foreign leader, you're entitled to do that on behalf of your people. Right. You shouldn't be groveling.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Of course. And he's saying you're going to get us into World War Three. You want World War Three. Trump's saying that he's not wrong. I mean, Russia has nukes. This is one of the reasons why people over here have been so concerned about the increasing aid we've been giving, the increasing weaponry we've been giving.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
We do not want a nuclear war with Russia at all, especially over Ukraine and whether it's going to join NATO or have this slice of territory, it's or Russians.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
which is what just happened on this minerals deal, where they never have the presidents meet directly before they've had the diplomats meet directly. And the diplomats are supposed to strike the deal, and only when the deal is struck do you then put the leaders together so they can just look like, yay, we're winners. Look what we did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So Rubio said that he met with his counterpart in Ukraine and that they reached a deal on the rare mineral earth materials that they were going to start giving us, some portion of them, to pay us back for all of our investment there. And also... to keep us economically invested in the harvesting of those minerals on a go-forward basis, which Trump sees as a security guarantee for Ukraine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
If we're over there, our economic interests are over there mining these minerals, Putin, his theory is, will be less likely to invade again or do anything to upset Ukraine. So that's where they got. Marco Rubio said it publicly. Zelensky suddenly said there's no deal. Rubio comes out and says, this guy constantly does this. You know, like we did have a deal. Now he's saying no. Then the news came.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yes, there is a deal. And Zelensky comes to the Oval. And apparently uses it as an opportunity to tell Trump, once again, he can't trust Putin. I mean, this is just dumb. This is dumb diplomacy on his part. But here's another soundbite we just got. It is Trump telling Zelensky we gave him $350 billion of our money. Watch.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Can I answer? No, no.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
He's not wrong. No. This did not go well, ladies. No. Listen to this. Here's some reaction. Of course, the New York Times' Peter Baker, who hates Trump with the passion of 10,000 sons, tweets out, never has an American president lectured the leader of an ally in public like this, much less the leader of a country that is fighting off invaders.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Well, what if a leader attacks the president and doesn't appreciate the amount of money that's been invested by his country, Peter? The New York Times reports Zelensky flashed a thumbs up as reporters were escorted out of the Oval, asking my own team, did they escort reporters out before the meeting was over? Is that what happened? Do we know? All right. That's what we think happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Perhaps they were continuing the meeting in private. Peter's wife, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, who is. I can't see enough bad things about this person. Tweets out, this is the most shocking behavior by Trump and Vance I've ever seen in the Oval. An ambush. Well, we'll have to go back and watch it from the beginning.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Tommy Victor, who's a former Obama guy and also a troll, one of the co-hosts of Pod Save America. Mm-hmm. These fucking assholes lecture and condescend to Zelensky and then fluff Putin at every possible opportunity. Absolutely disgraceful. This is going to be talked about for a very long time. We're witnessing a very important moment right now. What do you make?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I mean, I think if Peter Baker is against it, we're for it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Okay. Sorry. Say again. Say again, Steve. Oh, God. What? There's a press conference that's going to start. I don't like my chances on how well that's going to go. I don't know. I'm distressed by this because we were close to getting this thing done. Like nobody else was close to getting it. And it's not going to end in a way that Ukrainians are going to like. That's just the truth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
What happened was we were looking at forever stalemate and escalating war. Or this, where at least we stop the losses. We come to some sort of an agreement in Ukraine where we're at least there economically, which I agree with Trump would be somewhat of a deterrent to Putin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But the other side that wants a better deal is not wrong that it feels like surrender and that Putin's going to get to keep the territory.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And he doesn't want to lose or he doesn't want to stop the war. No. That's my feeling. Do you guys talk to, you know, people in the Eastern European community? Do you have a feel on how people are taking this whole saga? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Are your parents more pro-Zolensky? Oh, yeah. And you guys are not that pro-Zolensky? No. For the same reasons as we've been discussing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But how do you see through it? How did you manage to, like, see that as opposed to, you know, it's like with that influence around you with people you love and trust from the region?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Putin's not crazy. I don't think he's crazy. He's a rational actor. I've said before, too, and this is controversial, but I actually don't think he's evil either, which I know is also controversial. But I just think if... In Putin's head, this is all very rational that he's got to protect mother Russia.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
He can't have NATO on his borders and he will do what he thinks is necessary to protect his country and its long-term existence. And also the hope of restoring mother Russia to her former glory.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Now, I guess you could use that same rationale to say, well, Hitler wasn't evil either because he believed he was doing the right thing. But I do think Putin is a rational actor who can be negotiated. And that's kind of what Trump has been saying, which is like this war never should have started. The whole NATO discussion shouldn't have gone on. And frankly, the U.S.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
shouldn't have been meddling over there from 2014 forward.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah, it's they certainly don't want to back them now. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I would love to go back and we will, you'll see this all weekend and you'll see it here on the show on Monday to the start. Like what, what was the beginning? What set it off? How did things start to unravel and how did it start to go downhill? This is going to dominate. This feels like a very large news event and more on this as we get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Um, as we get more soundbites too, I'll play them for you. All right, let's move on to other more lighthearted there. Let's get some softballs. Actually, you guys were great people to have here, you know, given everything that's happening. It's not like Israel and Hamas, but like you have some connection. Um, all right. So, but it is a Friday.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
We do like to discuss some lighter cultural fair on Fridays if we can. And that brings me to, um, Ashley St. Claire. Now I look, that was one of the other things that I had with Ben Smith when I went to his conference in DC yesterday. Um, He was upset that I quote attacked Ashley St. Clair, that I went after her. That's what he said. And he was acting like I was bullying her in some way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Well, I never would have mentioned the name of Ashley Sinclair. She was not on my radar. I I've never attacked Elon's other baby mamas. I don't care if like these women want to strike that deal with Elon. It's none of my business. I good on him if it works for everybody. The difference with this woman is she knew completely what she was walking into.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And then when the benefit of that bargain came exactly as one could possibly predict it would come, which is no meaningful relationship with him. No Valentine's day together. She got upset, sent out a nasty tweet, claimed a tabloid was doing an in-depth investigation on her, which never broke.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
The only one who ever reported on this was the New York post because she gave them a photo shoot inside the quote, lavish apartment with feet pics and a incorrectly arranged chessboard.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Oh, I didn't notice that, really?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
That's impressive. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, here are the feet, the naked feet, with their floor-to-ceiling windows in an apartment almost certainly funded by him. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I am impressed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
That's a true chess player to see that in the photo. Yeah. So what do you make of the fact that now she, you know, she, she wants us to feel sorry for her. That's, that's what I believe. She's sad about her, the consequences of her own life choices. And she definitely doesn't want publicity. Do not believe the pictures of her in the corset in the New York post doesn't want it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It's crazy. Right. So now she has sued Elon, that's in the news today, for paternity. Yeah. And accuses him of going dark on her. And Elon tweeted out something to the effect of, I have taken care of every child I've ever fathered and generously. Yeah. if ever there's been a breakdown, it's because the demands have been exorbitant.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So he didn't name her, but it seemed to be a clear reference to, trust me, I'm going to take care of every child I sire, but I'm not going to be made a fool of and start giving out billions to 26-year-olds who I slept with once in St. Barts, which appears to be What happened here?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I've never said that. I have.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Exactly. That's what that was the problem. So the tweets to which you refer, she had an exchange with another online influencer where she was talking about how she really wanted to have Elon's baby. I need his rocket babies, LOL. He 10,000% saw my moon landing tweet. Then she writes to her friend, look, I'll take one for the team, seduce Elon and get in a rocket to see what's up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Then she also said, I need a caption to seduce Elon Musk. Thinking about the dangers of AI, laughing emoji. Elon replied to the thread revealing that because it was the person with whom she was texting posted the private DM exchange on Twitter and made it public. And Elon responded, whoa. Which I don't know what that means because literally, Elon, I have news for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Every woman you're sleeping with is doing it for the same reason. Baby trapping. Like they're thinking they're going to get a private jet out of it. That's probably a problem for most billionaires. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I felt bad for those influencers. I mean, many of whom I know and think a lot of who got, I'm sure, very excited by the call to go meet with the attorney general of the United States. This is not like somebody punked me who I'd never heard of before who claimed he had Epstein documents. It's the sitting attorney general. And they went, they're at the White House. Like, this is a big deal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
since before he gained sentience yeah i must rather have a child with a regular iq and a father in the picture yeah yeah um i i don't know this person but my strong belief is this wasn't about having a baby with a high iq she wanted to be taken care of for the rest of her life yeah she already had a baby from another man then she hooks up with elon which was clearly her goal okay fine
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Oh, it's fine. I actually know people who are gold diggers and it's like, that's a choice. You know, if you're like a beautiful woman and you have a lot of rich men who want to like, I don't really have a problem with it. To be honest with you, I do have a problem with you then playing the victim and wanting me to feel sorry for you when he's with somebody else on Valentine's day.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And when you're, you're lavish, New York city apartment isn't quite lavish enough. And I also just feel like, I just do desperately want to remind young women, you don't have to go this way. You can make your own money and still wind up with somebody great. It is a possibility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
deny that i know you think yeah but you're very we saw your tweet yeah when i started at fox i i think my first job at fox was 115 000 a year trying to remember because we we negotiated like a no no it was yeah they wanted to pay me under 100 and i said i there's no way i'm taking on under 100 with 10 years of law practice under my belt i refuse just on principle so i got it right over 100 cameras like 105 or 110 i can't remember
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
My point is, now that's a good salary for sure. But I wasn't rich. And I had to live in Manhattan, right? It was like I had to be at work at five in the morning. First DC and then Manhattan. My point is, yeah, I have money now, but I did not always have money. I really didn't. And my first job in TV only paid 17 grand a year. But if you love what you do, you put in endless hours.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It's a labor of love. And usually if you're a hard worker, you will do well in the profession of your choice. She was making it. She had a million followers on X. Well, now I wonder. Now you're both making the same face. I do wonder how she got the followers.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Whatever. To each his own. As you said. I wouldn't have known again who she was had she not. Exactly. Yeah. So anyway, okay. That's enough of Ashley St. Clair. I think we're done with her now. Um, the Oscars are this weekend. Are you guys going to watch that? I guess.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
He's funny. I enjoy him. Um, our viewers may or may not remember that Dasha is a successful actress who started among other things, succession. Yeah. Everybody's favorite. Did you happen to read the profile in New York Magazine on the Murdochs. It hit in the paper version this past weekend. It hit in the online version a week or so earlier. You might find it interesting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
They went back and found all the actual court filings in this hideous fight that's going on between Lachlan and Rupert on the one side and James and Liz and Prudence Murdoch on the other side. And there was this whole big hearing out in Reno, Nevada on what's going to happen with his trust. And they got all the transcripts
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So you're seeing the actual testimony of the actual Murdoch's and what's happening. You might find it really fascinating having starred in that series. But okay. So I used to watch the Oscars religiously and I look forward to the fashion and just to see who the winners were. And it was a time when there weren't 15 nominees for best actor and best picture. And when you'd seen all the movies. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I think they went there totally in good faith and earnestly and trusted her. and got humiliated by this document dump that was a nothing. Why would you take people who absolutely love you and have been very good to you and embarrass them like this? I don't get it. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, I think it was just incompetence, I guess.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Now I was looking at the list. I think I've seen one, but I saw conclave. That's all I've seen. I don't even recognize the names of the others. Yeah. And the ceremony itself has changed and they're wokeified and they're annoying. And this Amelia Perez seems to be the favorite to win everything, which is about some very manly tranny. Like I, I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah. Amazing. Is there something in these martinis or did that just happen? That's, that's, that was, that's one of the best picture nominees and it's the favorite.

The lead trans person wins. Is controversial. Uh-huh. Was tweeting out a bunch of stuff that does not make Hollywood happy. No. Okay. Carla Sofia Gascon, who is a man pretending to be a woman. Pfft. has got a bunch of tweets out there that criticize, like, George Floyd. Hold on, let me get it. Yeah, I'm trying to find it.

Islam is becoming a hotbed of infection for humanity, and that urgently needs to be cured. Then about Selena Gomez, his co-star, she's a rich rat. She's the poor bastard whenever she can and will never stop bothering her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and his wife. There's more. Attached to a photo of a Muslim family he saw at a restaurant, including a woman in a burqa, tweeted, Islam is marvelous.

Without any machismo, women are respected. And when they are so respected, they are left with a little squared hole on their faces forever. for their eyes to be visible on their mouths, but only if she behaves. Although they dress this way for their own enjoyment, how deeply disgusting of humanity. And here's the last one. There are more, but last one I'll read here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I really think that very few people ever cared about George Floyd to a drug addicted swindler, but his death has served to once again demonstrate that there are people who still consider black people to be monkeys without rights. and consider policemen to be assassins. They're all wrong. And it goes on from there. So what does that do to Amelia Perez's chances?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I don't, I'm not sure exactly how this went down, but if I were any one of those people, I would be demanding an actual explanation of what was done to me and the real information be given to me ASAP, right? Like now I've stuck my neck out for you. You've humiliated me.

Well, it is funny because some of those are more incendiary, but the vast majority suggests that this person is really a conservative and doesn't go along with these identity politics, which makes the whole transition even more bizarre. But I mean, we've got Caitlyn Jenner, who's not into identity politics either and has done the so-called transition transition.

So I like I do think he's being treated the same way anyone who had been outed as a conservative would be treated. Yeah. Which is with horror. Yeah. But it's crazy. Yeah. But he's nominated for best actress. I know. Yeah. Just think about the sentence I just said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I don't think he's got any advantage. It is kind of funny. Like there have been some of the sports where I'm like, where is there a natural male advantage? Like...

Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I better be getting whatever the FBI and or SDNY, Southern District of New York has some of the documents since they were the ones going after Epstein I better be the first one to receive this stuff, right? Instead, yesterday, we just seemed to have the nasty letter from Pam Bondi to Kash Patel, like, gee, everyone's been duped.

And when it comes to directions. I guess.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And then we have the advantage over them when it comes to certain other things like how to organize one's life.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Carol Swain was on the program last week, professor of all the elite universities. But as soon as she started to think more heterodox in a more heterodox way, especially on race, she was kicked out of the squad. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Black woman. They loved her. Nope. Tulsi Gabbard. She was like the next rising star in the Democratic Party. She's like, she's non-white.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
She's like, she's got a lot of firsts behind her.

Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
When it comes to her religion and so on and a woman, but she backed Bernie instead of Hillary. she had to be taken out. Then she said a bunch of stuff about the Democrat Party not being fair, that her career was over.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Good point. A simple Google search might have served them well prior to that nomination. I don't think that this person is going to win the best actress. And that's a good thing for the other reasons. All right. Now, wait more from the Zelensky meeting. Fox just reported that the Zelensky Trump campaign. Presser is now canceled. Oh, wow. What a shock. A statement from President Donald J. Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Quote, we had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It's amazing what comes out through emotion. And I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved. Oh, God. Because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I don't want advantage. I want peace. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace. Oh, my God. Damn. This did not go well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But again, the timeline appears to be she knew that before she gave out these documents. Then on top of it, they gave all the right-wing influencers talking points that sort of explain what happened and how great this whole sequence of events was. And I guess they didn't tell them this. This is just guidance for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yeah. Well, that's in the news now too, which is first a word on that Zelensky thing. He will come back. I predict he will come back to the Oval Office and he will come back on bended knee because there's no resolving that war without us. You think he's going to grovel? Yes, he will come back and he will grovel. There is no resolving that war without us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
We're paying for it. If we just pull all of our support, it's over. Russia will take Ukraine. Yeah. Europe can't do it without us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Does he want, is he's trying to foster a closeness between Putin and Trump even more so? Like, as soon as we pull our support, it's over for him. He can't go in there and play tough guy, Zelensky. And of course, we can't pull our support.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Well, we'll see. I mean, Trump, he's a very good negotiator. And this feels like negotiating. This is what you do. Yeah. When the other side's totally unreasonable. I mean, we learned this in law school. And they don't have any leverage. Right. And when the other person's just being a douche. Yeah. You get up and walk out. You don't even have to negotiate against that. It's just, okay, bye.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And you know they'll call you because they need you more than you need them. I don't know whether Zelensky was a douche. I'm just saying, if one believes one's negotiating partner is... And he certainly did not sound like he was in the right emotional posture for somebody in his position without the cards. Okay, wait. Where were we just going to go? To Monica Lewinsky, of all people.

We'll take a break and then we'll talk about blowjobs in the Oval Office. Stand by on that. We have more to discuss with the ladies from Red Scare right after this break. Here's one way to clean up your medicine cabinet this season and replace toxin-filled conventional products with more natural options.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Propolis Immune Support Throat Spray and Propolis Plus Vitamin C Liposomol can be must-haves in the medicine cabinet as seasonal germs start to hit. Did you know germs can enter through your nasal passages just as easily as through your mouth? Propolis nasal spray is a great non-toxic swap for other over-the-counter drug-filled medications.

And a couple of them tweeted out the exact same message afterward that reads as follows. Today, I met with President Trump. Yes, it's not just Bondi. It's Trump. President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, A.G. Pambondi and FBI Director Kash Patel in the Oval Office. They handed me a binder copy of the Epstein files, the most transparent administration in American history.

this just in. Zelensky just left the White House. Kind of a good observation by Sagar and Jetty, who writes, keep in mind, Zelensky has probably been talking this way to Biden for years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Before we get on to substantive news about Monica Lewinsky. So we're like at the bottom one-fourth, I'd say, of our Doug Brunt made martinis, which are absolutely delicious. He's a good mixologist, no? He really is. He's amazing, yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
This is what he does on his podcast called Dedicated with Doug Brunt, where he talks to authors about their books. And what he does is he gets your favorite drink, and then he makes that for you during the show, and then he and the guests drink it and talk about their book.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
he put it on youtube as well now yeah so he's got a youtube version but he does it once a week um we've actually gotten a lot of fun drinks out of that like ones we never knew about i this is more popular than i knew but i never knew about the french 75 it's i don't know if it's half and half but it's gin and champagne or prosecco and like black Or it's some kind of syrup. I know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I might have forgotten. Oh, and lemon. Lemon. Well done, though. Look at you. That's a Cure Royale. Okay. I used to make that when I was a waitress. That's just the kind of thing you want to order.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It makes it sound cooler. Yeah. Here's what happened after the last time you guys were here. I only drink this when you come. And it didn't go well when I had to read the ads after the show. Here it is. I've never done the ads after a martini. Maybe I have, and I just don't remember, but I'll do my best. Every day, the rhetoric gets more and more divisive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
There's panic with some people willing to say or do anything if they think it will help their side win. There's so much uncertainty, which explains why so many people... Designed to be incredibly breathable, it keeps you several degrees cooler for a night of uninterrupted rest with a durable weave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
It was sheets, but like a durable weave. That's funny. That's funny even without a martini. And then ultimately my husband Doug had to step in because he and I drank an eggnog in Christmas. And when I tried to do it, same thing happened. He had to step in and read the last ad for me. So you're not a big drinker.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
The best part, this is just the start. AG Bondi confirmed there are thousands more Epstein file documents being secretly held in the SDNY, and they will be delivered to the DOJ in D.C. by February 28th, which is today. People will be going to jail for what they've done. So she gave them this guidance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I mean, I kind of, I guess I'm not, I thought I could hold my liquor, but I don't usually have something like this quite this strong during the day. Yeah. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But you're, you know, I was just saying this to, um, I think it was my hairstylist today who I love, um, I was like, this is what I love about these two. Because you both are so interesting. You have that flat affect. You've got this great sense of style. You obviously love each other. Like, I love your friendship. But you say things that are totally unexpected.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
There are too many people who say stuff that you've heard everywhere else. Right. And so, well, like, you don't deliver it with all sorts of... right? The flare physically or emotionally, the, the substantive points are always interesting and they're unexpected. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's special about you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
So I'm going to, I would like you on you to unleash, unleash your specialness on Monica Lewinsky, who went on the sex podcast, call her daddy. And I mean, I will give credit to the sex podcast, or this is more your realm. This is better. You should stick to this instead of the Kamala Harris. You did better here. Um, And here is, okay, here's, she asked her a good question.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
What is the name of the sex podcaster? Alex Cooper. Thank you. Thank you. Forgive me. She asked Monica a question that I don't think she's gotten asked before. And that's saying something about the Clinton scandal, which was what would you have liked him to do when the whole scandal broke? That is a good question. That is it, right? So I think we have that queued up. Let's watch it. Saw 39.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I'm not sure what was going on. Right. Did it cost $100,000? It didn't look like the Commonwealth. Why didn't the budget go into her pants? I have a real issue with those black and white, black and red checkered trousers. It's an issue. I don't hate them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
to like tweet out, oh, this is just the first tranche, but more is coming, which was an attempt, a nod at her knowledge that she didn't have anything in there that was new, but that wasn't transparent, right? That wasn't actually made clear. And then these guys are tweeting out the exact same tweet, right? And the way that's avoided is you say, this is guidance. This is like a suggested tweet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I think we all look better than we looked in the 90s. True. True. I mean, you know, I have to say, she does too. It's fine. There's zero chance a president would ever resign, you know, in the wake of a scandal. But I am of two minds. Like, I'm really torn about Monica Lewinsky because... Clinton is a douchebag in many ways. That's clear. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016

He definitely metooed her, you know, with the power imbalance and all that. Sure. She really took a beating in the public eye, a severe beating in the public eye, and she was very young. But on the other hand, she made the choices she made. When you're 22, you have knowledge about the risks. She was young. She wasn't, you know. Yeah. So how do you see it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And she already did a whole movie about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I really feel like she needs to move on. Definitely. That's sad. I'm sick and tired of hearing about this. If you're going to launch a podcast, go for it. But it's like, this is her only thing. What has she done since then other than she writes for Vanity Fair? Great. Okay, that's fine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
But then you should be talking about the columns that you write and whatever your accomplishments have been since 1995 or whatever it was. When I sat in the Barnes & Noble office of the world trade center and read the Ken star report as a young aspiring lawyer, or I just started practicing law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I can't remember which, but I must've just graduated from law school because I was in law school, whatever. It doesn't matter. The point is, um, that's how long it's been. And she's still out there talking about her blow jobs with Bill Clinton. It's too much.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Yes. It's like she at this point, she should be saying, I've said all there is to say on that subject. Like, we're good. Let's let's talk about something else, because I'm sure that interview did talk about her new show and whatever. No one cares.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
The only reason they care about her is because of that scandal, which is why I probably if I were Monica Lewinsky would have chosen a life in the private sector. Just doing some good.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
How do you feel about Vivek's naked feet in whatever interview he just gave? Don't make me say anything racist on a mainstream.

Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Obviously, I wouldn't send out this exact thing. We're giving this to everybody. These are kind of the points. It'd be great if you could hit. Now, if you're a journalist, you don't take that at all. You say, thank you for your tweet. Goodbye. But these aren't... I don't think they would call themselves exactly journalists in the traditional sense, which is one of the things we love about them.

But I just feel like if you wanted to embarrass these, you know, 10 people, this is exactly how you would have run this whole thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
I mean, everybody's still interested in Epstein, I think. I heard some people being like, who cares? No, I care. I actually really would like to see what's in the files if... Look, I'm not expecting it to be like, appointment Bill Clinton to see 13-year-old on Epstein Island, you know, June 2006. That's not going to be in there. That's just a joke. But... There could be a client list.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Right now it's just his contact list, which we've already seen. And by the way, being in Jeffrey Epstein's contact book does not mean anything. It really doesn't mean anything. Like I have tons of people in my phone's contacts with whom I actually have almost nothing to do, whatever. They like contact you one time, you exchange info. It doesn't mean anything.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
what we need is more like who actually was a frequent, uh, repeat visitor on Epstein Island, right? That would be good to know. We, we have some names. Um, but what's being promised is like, there's more and it's juicy. And that's why it's been withheld by these people. And maybe something about his death. Like people have genuine natural questions about that. Do you think we'll get any answers?

Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance. And the best part?

I mean, it's it's I think it was Elon who tweeted out today like things don't change on a dime. And I think he was suggesting Pam Bondi's there. Cash Patel's there. But the whole staff hasn't changed at DOJ or FBI and certainly not at SDNY. And so I think he was telegraphing like give him a minute. to try to get the troops in line. I agree with all of that, yes, but then don't overpromise.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
Don't make a big show of things. Don't embarrass your most loyal supporters by pretending you're giving them some big scoop only to have the internet say there's absolutely nothing here at all that's new. Like all of this is just, like I say, it's like the procedure around it was so poorly done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Epstein Files Debacle, and Trump Spars with Zelensky in Oval Office, with Emily Jashinsky and Red Scare Hosts | Ep. 1016
And then on top of everything we just discussed, for some reason, the House Judiciary Committee, which I gather is run by Jim Jordan- tweeted out like a joke about it. Um, people expected like the tease was suggested that they look, it reads a breaking it's at judiciary GOP Epstein files released and you click on this link and it shows you the, well, here's what it shows you.

Even Jack Posobiak, with whom I have a very checkered past, like we haven't gotten along well. But I have to say, I've grown to really like him. And his Twitter feed is fire. And he actually has had a lot of scoops. He was one of them. Chad Pranther, he's a good guy down in Texas, a podcaster.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky set to visit the White House today to formalize a mineral mining agreement with the U.S. President Trump touting the agreement as very big, though Mr. Zelensky appears to see it as a starting line rather than a finishing line.

President Trump has warned European allies that the U.S. will not defend countries who are not interested in defending themselves.

Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Oh, we've got some major updates in the Brian Kohlberger case out in Idaho and his upcoming trial, which is still set for this August. I mean, at one point it seemed so far away, didn't it? And now we're coming up on it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And there were two other roommates in the house. Okay, two other roommates in the house. And we are learning so much more about them and what they did or did not do. I don't even know how to process it. All this as the prosecution releases a new photo of Brian Kohlberger, hours after the quadruple murders. And it is the most chilling thing I have seen in years. I can't stop looking at it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Yeah, I'm going to read for the audience what we have now on the text messages between the two surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funk, from 4.22 to 4.24 a.m. And we know that the murders happened between 4 a.m. and 4.17 a.m. So this is right after. Clearly, it appears Dylan started texting Bethany right after she saw the intruder. So DM to BF. No one is answering.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Not sure what preceded this. This is what we have. DM to BF. I'm really confused right now. DM to Kaylee Gonsalves, who we now know is upstairs deceased. Kaylee, DM to Gonsalves again. What's going on? Then Bethany texts to DM. Yeah, dude. WTF. Then Bethany to Dylan. Zanna was wearing all black. I don't understand why she would say that. Then Dylan to Bethany. I'm freaking out right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Then Dylan to Bethany. No, it's like a ski mask almost, she says. Bethany to Dylan. STFU. You know, shut the F-U-F up. Bethany to DM. Actually, DM to BF. Like he had something over... is for head and little mouth. This is changing. I mean, really, this sounds like she says ski mask. What she later told the cops was like a COVID mask. Here's Dylan back to Bethany. I'm not kidding.

I'm so freaked out. Bethany to Dylan. So am I. Dylan to Bethany. My phone is going to die. Bethany to Dylan. Come to my room. Run. Run. down here. And then we understand that's what she did. So they go together into the same room, but then, but then we have to talk about the texts the next morning, because what, what we see is that, um, okay. At seven 30, the next morning, um,

Bethany called her father at 730 in the morning. She called her father, Howard. I don't get how we get past 8 a.m. before a police officer or other adult showed up at that house.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And there's more. There's more. Bethany called her father at 7.30 the next morning. She also made several other phone calls before the 911 call and also took photos between 8.41 and 8.42. At 8.05, Dylan, switching over from Bethany to Dylan now, began using Instagram. Between 8.05 and 11.57 a.m., Dylan's cell phone accessed Instagram, Snapchat,

Well, one of them, I'm not sure which of the roommates, but one of them called their father at 1139 a.m. So again, you know, either again, if it was the one gal who'd already called her father or for the first time. And so that was 1139. And then it was 1155 that they called the 911 operator. So it seems like perhaps. OK, so it was Bethany who called her father at 730 a.m.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
We also now finally, finally have the 911 call that was made from this house on 1122 King Street. That's the murder house, which for all this time they've been withholding from us. Why? We didn't understand. There's a lot in there. And nobody has been following this case closer than Howard Bloom. He's a journalist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And again, we believe it was Bethany who called 911 eventually. And then at 1139, there was another call to a father. By 1155, they were calling 911. So perhaps in that last call to the father, he was like, call 911.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
All right, now we'll get on to what the defense is revealing, what we're learning about Kohlberger in a minute, which is even more fascinating than this, if that's possible. But I just want to spend one minute first on these 911 calls and what's going on with the roommates, because Steve Gonsalves, who's Kaylee's father, has reacted.

This is from 1130 a.m. This would have been six hours after he allegedly committed quadruple murder, which he denies. He looks bloodless.

Two, if the cops theory of the case is right, based on police data and cell phone data, he went back to the site of the murders around nine thirty in the morning and apparently checked on the scene. And we know now, of course, nothing was happening at the scene at that time. We inside the girls may have been texting, but the police had not yet been alerted. And look at him.

Mm hmm. So that I can't stop looking at it. This is just so deeply disturbing. But that's not the worst thing that's happened to Brian Kohlberger over the past couple of years as the case against him has been developed. This may be I mean, you and I've talked many times about what we think of the evidence. I think we both think that.

One of, if not, well, the two most problematic things, the DNA on the knife sheath, which has been affirmatively linked to be, it is Brian Kohlberger's.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And also the fact that when they arrested him at his parents' home in the Poconos a few weeks later, he was stuffing his trash into little Ziploc baggies with the intention of disposing it, we believe, into the neighbor's trash, which is what he'd been doing, according to the cops, over the past few nights. So those are bad, bad, bad facts for him. But so is the latest data on the K-Bar knife.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
They've never found the murder weapon. They found the knife sheath in the bed with the two girls, Kaylee and Maddie. And it had touch DNA on the knife snap, the snap of the sheath, which they then linked, thanks to genetic genealogy trees, back to the father of Brian Kohlberger, which is then what got them to Brian Kohlberger, who was only 10 miles away.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Then once they got him in custody, they did an affirmative DNA test of his cheek swab. And that was 100 percent plus whatever the numbers are there astronomically in the favor of it being him and his DNA on that knife sheath snap. But now they are revealing that they may not have found the murder weapon, Howard, but they certainly found some incriminating things on Brian Kohlberger's Amazon.

Well, so it's very interesting that he would have potentially gone back on Amazon searching for another K-bar knife and knife sheath. You could go many directions with that, like he lost the knife sheath and didn't have the knife anymore because he disposed of it. It was the murder weapon. And therefore, in case the police ever came knocking, he wanted to have

That knife that they would see in his Amazon history he purchased back in March before he got there, still sitting in his room without any traces of blood on it. See, I'm a good little boy.

And you tell me, because you've been following it so closely, it appears to me they're now just doing what they can to mitigate the expected bad result as opposed to truly try to get a not guilty, which I'm sure they'd love, but I think they're getting realistic.

Do you think there's any chance he's saying something behind the scenes like, I will testify, and they're getting ready to use these things to say, Your Honor, you can't let him do this. It's definitely against his interests, and we need to be able to overrule him in this fundamental right he has.

And maybe getting all this, if they can get all these disorders, alleged disorders into the record without him testifying, it mitigates some of the other things that you and I have talked about that may come in, like his increasingly dissembling behavior in the classroom at Washington State, the antagonism of his professors and teachers.

And, or he said, if we need to hear directly from the witnesses, we can, um, potentially have an affidavit or a written declaration. But, uh, Having looked at the record of the car, where it's been, I'm looking at the map, and what it's basically going to show is he drove directly to their houses. It's showing pretty much a straight line once he got near the house of going right to their houses.

So what now? Here we are, well, five months out from trial. What are the odds this does go to trial, Howard? Or do you think it actually has a chance of pleading out to I mean, I can't imagine the prosecution with a case like this would take anything other than a murder one confession and possibly spare him the death penalty. But what are the odds?

I mean, I believe he did it and I would have no problem if a jury finds him guilty of seeing that happen. I don't know. The firing squad, you hate to like think about it, but like, would it really be so bad to be in front? I feel like a firing squad in some ways may be more humane than like the electric chair. I don't... What's the debate about that?

Wow. God, when you really start, it's just like whenever I start to hear about the death penalty, I hear about the crime and I think I'm fine with it. Do it. I'll pull the trigger myself.

Wow. Incredibly disturbing. Just so the audience understands that the murders happened at 4 a.m. That call did not get placed until almost noon the next morning, 1155 a.m. And for all this time, they have not released the 911 call. It wasn't until this week we finally got to hear it. We believe...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Not totally confirmed, but we believe that the girl who made the call initially was Bethany Funk, one of the two roommates who survived. The other roommate is named Dylan Mortensen. She's the one who saw an intruder, which they were trying to tell the 911 operator, who wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened the night before.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
in the heinous act of killing four innocent college students in Moscow, Idaho. It happened in November 2022. It happened within a 12 to 17 minute period at 4 a.m. He was a teaching assistant and Ph.D. student at the nearby Washington State and Washington University, and they were all students involved.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
But those are the two surviving roommates, so we believe that's Bethany Funk, who could barely get... sentences out. And Howard, you know, the remarkable thing, of course, is that they're talking about their roommate having been drunk and she isn't waking up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And just the one roommate, they're not, I am assuming that they had found Zanna Kernodle, who was on the second floor with her boyfriend, Ethan, because they are not saying four They only had three of the female roommates, but they're not saying four of our friends are dead. They're saying one girl's passed out and she was drunk last night. We think she's dead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Yeah, well, I was just going to say it's very eerie so that she she calls and says something is happening. And they say one of the roommates is passed out. And they're clearly referring to Xander Cronodal because when she says how old is she, she says she's 20. And both Kaylee and Maddie were 21. And when you're that age, you know exactly the number of years you are. You know what I mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Like your age means a lot to you, especially when you're 20 versus 21. College roommates would absolutely have all the other ages in their heads of their roommates. And so she's saying she's 20. So she clearly found Zanna. But where was Ethan?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Because our understanding was, if memory serves, I didn't go back and look this up, that he was found closer to the doorway of the bedroom that he was in with Zanna. They don't mention him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032

at Idaho, and he is alleged to have come to their home in the middle of the night, killed the two best friends, Madison Mogan and Kaylee Gonsalves, who were sleeping in a bed together, as female best friends often do, as well as Zanna Kurnodal, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, who were in a different room on the second floor. The two girls on the third, Zanna and Ethan on the second.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
difficult situation makes more sense because they're not saying there's blood everywhere. You know, you and I have talked about how there was so much blood. It seeped through the walls of the house. They, they're not saying that they're like, we're not sure she, she was drunk last night. She may be passed out. So clearly, but, but they did call nine one one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
And so they clearly thought something was wrong. Maybe it was that she wasn't responding to texts and she wasn't, I don't know why they're not talking about Kaylee and Maddie. Kaylee, I think, wasn't even supposed to be there that night. She'd stayed over. She had moved out, but she was back visiting Maddie. But they're not mentioning Maddie.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032

The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
Unbelievable. So you've got now we know this is all new. You've got the two surviving witnesses because all along we knew that Dylan had seen the perpetrator, had seen an intruder that night wearing a covid type mask with bushy eyebrows around six feet tall in the house at four a.m. in the four a.m. hour. And that. She saw him. It was unclear whether he saw her, but she froze. He left.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
She went back into her room and we knew that they didn't call 911 until noon the next day. So eight hours passed before she calls 911. And it's been one of the big mysteries in this case. Why didn't she call 911? She saw an intruder in the house in the middle of the night. And we know from the police affidavit, she said she was in a frozen shock phase. And that's why she didn't call.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
But that just seemed very strange that it would take you eight hours, like you eventually would call. But then they were saying, well, it was a neighbor that came in and called. And you mentioned Hunter. Yes, he did come in and call. But we understand that was Bethany. And we think Dylan was also involved. So these two roommates now we know were texting, were scared, were in the...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Disturbing Idaho Murders 911 Call Released, and New Bryan Kohberger Selfie Revealed, with Howard Blum | Ep. 1032
The one ran to the other one's room. They were in there hiding. And it appears that they may have gotten a hold of Hunter to come over to help check things out. But we still don't really understand the delay, why that didn't happen earlier than noon.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everybody. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Today, what a treat we have for you. We have got first Mike Walsh. He's the National Security Advisor. And man, does he have a lot on his plate. There is so much happening in the world of foreign policy right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Yeah, I mean, they call it surrender. You heard them comparing this to a Neville Chamberlain situation. Peace in our time. There's a debate unfolding right now between Neil Ferguson, who's a good man, conservative, and JD Vance online about whether this is just giving it all up. You know, whether this is a surrender. It's always easy to get peace if you surrender.

So how much of a concern in this negotiation is- And President Trump, by the way,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
How much, if at all, does the threat of China play in all this? Because there's a lot of thinking that it would be great if we actually could have a better relationship with Russia and focus on what many view to be our biggest adversary or potential, which is China. And right now, what we've seen over the past three years with this war is those two getting closer and the United States being out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
know that arguably is not a bad thing we need to clear up this issue of a major war in europe to get to that point maybe i'm wrong but as a sort of lay person who has never served overseas i it to me it looks like look it's lost it's not that anybody won it or anybody really lost it the ukraine war but you know

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
I mean, the left is trying to spin this as though he actually thinks Ukraine actually started it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Okay, let's talk about Israel. The news is just so awful.

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
It's so awful. I feel like those Biba's little boys were like the face of this thing. And there are so many mothers who I know watch this show and who I talk to via Twitter and so on, who've just been praying, you know, hoping beyond hope that maybe they were lying about the babies being dead. They've been claiming an Israeli airstrike killed them. There's zero evidence of that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
We have every belief that Hamas did it or their supporters.

The reports online said they were strangled.

willing uh to to step out with that despicable anti-semitic i mean they are but they are because it's not like we didn't know on 10 8 and 10 9 and 10 10 of 23 what they had done you know the reports of them burning babies were all over the airwaves and they were still on the college campuses there's something wrong you know who does not and refuses to have a two-state solution hamas

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
These people cheering those two babies' coffins like it was Mardi Gras, you think these are not people we can deal with. I don't blame Egypt and Jordan for not wanting them. We wouldn't take them. Why would we take them? So how on earth does Trump get any country to take that group of people long-term?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Tell me what happened there, because when Trump was like Gaza,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
on all fronts domestic international and there's a lot happening when it comes to the international situation i mean it's like we were just talking before we got started oh yeah then there's china which hasn't been in the news really in the past couple of weeks so let's start with what is in the news and today the dominant story is ukraine and whether things are deteriorating now between uh president trump and volodymyr zelensky there seems to be an escalating
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
But this is my question to you. is do you think what's happening now is what Trump intended to have happen, which is we're not necessarily going in there to build Gaziera, but we were hoping to start a conversation where the Middle Eastern countries would say, we might have a better idea. Let us handle it and get a little bit more aggressive, which they've been hands off about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
So does this thing go forward into phase two of the ceasefire? Because it turns out that Hamas did not return at least one of the bodies that they said they were going to, the mother of those two babies. It was a different corpse. I mean, it's just sick.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Which is trickier? Which situation that we spent this half hour talking about, you know, keeps you up more at night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Slight war of words between the two of them. Zelensky's complaining he wasn't brought in on the negotiation. Trump called him a dictator. Even some Republicans said that went too far. What do you make of it?

I don't know why, but they did. college-age student from New Hampshire, which isn't the reddest of states, and a non-political family wind up voting Trump in 16. Not like voting for him this time around.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
How so? Because people ask that all the time. Do I tell my college student to fight openly for his or her beliefs or do I have them go along to get along, get the A's, get into the best law school, med school, business school by playing the game until you have more liberty? Yeah. Where do you fall?

Well, you're a nicer person than I am. I definitely do not have respect for anybody who puts their name on a ballot. I can think of several people who never should have done that. That's true. Well, there's some people, yeah. But you're generous. All right, so at the same time, you're building a family life. You fall in love. I didn't know until today that you married a man who's a lot older. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011

The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011

That's my Nana who died at 101. She was in her elderly years, not that able to like get out and around. So if I had a important court argument that was on tape, I would show it to her and she would get so mad at the judges. She didn't think that they should be allowed to ask me any questions. She didn't like opposing counsel. Why is he saying that about you? They don't totally get it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
It's a motherly bias that we have for our babies. All right, so you are balancing with the baby. Can I just ask you one other question on that? Because we talk about it all the time, especially on the right. And I too am a working mom and always have been. I've been a professional woman since I graduated from college or law school.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
But now there's, I think a good thing, which is like the restoration of valuing so-called traditional moms. And that's great. The women who take care of their kids full time, most of my best friends are doing exactly that. But it seems like in the right, there's like some, a bit of a shift toward like, You can't do what Caroline's doing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
That's actually like an unsafe or a dangerous or a bad choice for families, for children, which I reject wholesale, but you hear it more and more. Yeah. Do you hear that? And what do you think of it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
You've seen in the news, President Trump's getting beaten up by every paper, every left wing cable operation, news operation, but there's a lot going on. And he's got a lot of immense challenges. And Mike Walls is a critical piece of his solutions. So he'll join us for our first time together. And then Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary, will be here next.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
The reality is it was stuck in what felt like a stalemate, a never-ending standoff between these two countries. And so somebody's going to have to give. The criticism that's coming Trump's way from the right now is you gave up the farm too early.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
We can't chase our great conservative moms out of the workforce. Right. We need them. Then we get rid of you. We get rid of Katie Britt. We get rid of Usha Vance. Right. This is not the way. Amy Coney Barrett is not on the Supreme Court. That should not be the place the conservative movement lands. I agree. All right. So now you start as White House press secretary.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
And were you thrilled to get that invitation? Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
But you must have really wrestled with how you were going to meet the high bar set by Karine Jean-Pierre. Was that... Sorry. Sorry. Was that out loud? No, she was terrible. Yeah. I mean, come on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
So how is your approach different, would you say?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
And not even in like a wussy, sad little way. Like they must be exhausted. It's just nonstop. It's insane. Yeah. So who's your least favorite?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
We'll drop in a clip of it where he was really pressing you on whether there's going to be criminal prosecutions for this alleged fraud and the waste fraud and abuse.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Like their criticism, and you tell me whether it's legit, is that he shouldn't have said NATO's off the table and they're going to have to give up some territory right off the bat because that should be the end settlement. It shouldn't be where we start.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
It was a pretty incredible exchange where it was like, 71 billion has been spent on fraudulent payments. And he's like, oh, but that was over many years. Does it matter?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
What are you talking about? Eyes on the ball. Yeah, exactly. All right, so that's good. I'm glad to hear the NBC guy's out. Good choice. Sorry, Peter. How do you prepare? Because you can't know everything and you could get asked anything. And unlike Karine Jean-Pierre, you're not out there reading and furiously flipping through your tabs to try to find an answer somebody else has written for you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
So how are you preparing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
And then it goes off to the side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
And you talk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
But it must've been cool to, to get up there.

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
What's the most interesting or surprising thing you've seen at the White House? You know, like this isn't a building you spent a ton of time in before. No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
It's Joe Biden's White House with the cocaine.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
I'm sure it's true of every president, but especially this one. All right. Let me turn and ask you about some items in the news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Mr. Trump does not like polls that say he's going in the wrong direction. And a few came out this week suggesting his favorables have gone down any place from three to eight points. Eight points is the more left leaning pollsters. It feels like some people may be feeling like it's too much too soon. That's what the CNN poll seems to show when asked, like, what specifically is upsetting you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Others suggest, well, I expected an economic turnaround faster. I'm only 30 days in it. How do you read those polls? And what do you want the electorate to know?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
He still has clear majority support on things like immigration and the crackdown. But let me ask you, as somebody who's been with him on the campaign trail for years now, where you live and die by polls, or at least most politicians do, He will come out and rip the poles for sure. If he gets too many bad ones, we're gonna hear him rip on them soon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
But like behind the scenes, does he react to them? You know, do you think they actually do influence him in some way? Like, okay, maybe I inch this way.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Gritty is interesting. So not like pocket protector nerdy, like tech nerdy, where you're like a little more grungy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
They don't have the best visual.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011

Every toddler has done it. So cute. Okay, back into the news, and this is a turn, but the beepest stories in the news today, those two babies. Terrible. It's affecting me. It just is a mother.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And you have a baby that's like seven months.

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Trump is good at stoicism, which we tend to like in our men, right? Very much so. We on the right. Yes. But when he sees something like that, I'm curious about his reaction when that news was brought to him and they were literally celebrating these dead babies in coffins over there. Do you think he feels it on like that gut level that we do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Like this particular family and being released in the way that they are for a reason. And all I can hope and pray is that God is, he's steering this in the way it's happening so that we're reminded of that. These are monsters. I don't see these people as human. I really don't know somebody who could strangle a nine month old baby. I'm, You're not a human being.

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
I don't know what you are, but you can't be negotiated with. You can't be accommodated. You must be annihilated. And that's President Trump's job. And in a way, it's your job. It's why I almost see when we were talking about you going back to work, okay, four days after you had a baby, it's hard for a number of reasons, physically and emotionally. But it's almost like a soldier being called up.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
So Trump gets Vogel home right away. Trump basically made this hostage deal happen between Hamas and Israel, saving lives and at least, in this case, returning the bodies of the dead to their families so they can be properly buried. Trump does what he says he's going to do with Lake and Riley's mom.

Michael Waltz on How Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Happens, and Karoline Leavitt on Sparring with the Press and Being a Working Mom | Ep. 1011
Trump spent the time with the Gold Star families from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal when Joe Biden never did. who stood by him then when they tried to attack him for going to Arlington Cemetery and somebody taking his picture in a certain area. They all stood by him, came out publicly and saying, stop that, he's been good to us.

My observation over here is that some of that little dip in the polls is due to these guys. It is wall to wall negative coverage. Look at this one CNN poll today, which shows a dip to some extent in the approval. They get to, listen to this, The Trump policies. Trying to deport 11 million undocumented migrants. Okay, whatever. Illegal aliens. Right. That's what they're called.

The public's still with him. 51% of U.S. adults support. And then we get down to USAID. Mm-hmm. Shutting down the agency that provides humanitarian aid in low-income countries. Oh, amazingly, 59% of the American public opposes that. I would have gathered that you would have styled that a little differently.

So if Ukraine gives up some 20% of its territory, what Russia's taken thus far, whatever that rounding number is, and doesn't get into NATO, which I think many people believe would be way too provocative right now to even discuss, or maybe for a long, long time, because that's really what was stirring up Putin's anger in large part even before. What does Russia give?

Ask one question of President Biden about his mental health. and he did not get called on or offered a question for the next 18 months. That's true. No one had a problem with that.

Unlike other platforms that censor or amplify certain narratives, Ground News is not a news publisher. They're an independent app and website that aggregates every source on a story so you can compare coverage and see through mainstream media spin. Ground News has an entire blind spot feed with stories that are receiving lopsided coverage.

Enten saying it's the worst day of polling in Trump's second term. All of the polls he referenced come out on a monthly basis, and President Trump is just one month into his second.

A common Republican criticism of the Biden administration was that the stimulus checks were inflationary and counterproductive. CNN's Caitlin Collins asked Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, if he has any concern that Doge refunds could have the same effect.

Right now, the House and Senate are working on budget proposals. Any Doge refunds would have to come from the budgeting process. Fort Knox, the 109,000-acre property located in Kentucky, is one of the world's most tightly guarded locations. It holds about 161 million ounces of gold, approximately 59% of the U.S. Treasury's total supply, according to the U.S. Mint. Or does it?

A group of congressmen and some journalists became the second tour group outside of authorized personnel. to take a peek around. The first look was President Franklin Roosevelt back in 1943, 10 years after the fort opened.

So interesting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, Elon stepped in and objected to what Speaker Johnson was about to do, and it appears to have halted it and gotten it slimmed down to what you just said, this more three-point plan, taking care of the farmers, the hurricane relief, and just booting this whole, you know, CR thing, the continuing resolution until a couple months after Trump takes office, where they'll have to deal with it then.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
But in the meantime... As I said in the intro, the left seems to smell an opportunity here of dividing Trump and Elon. They've been doing it for a while. They see that Elon's been quite a presence at Mar-a-Lago and on President Trump's initial meetings. And they know exactly that Trump has a big ego, like every president.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
As I said, we are now one way, one month away from the inauguration of Donald Trump 2.0. And even before that day arrives, the Democratic Party remains in crisis. They don't know what they're doing. Why are they talking about 2028 already? My God, would you just still do an honest retrospective on why you lost 2024 before you start? I mean, fine, but if I were a Democrat, I'd be a little annoyed.

And they're trying to manipulate him psychologically by saying, oh, really, Elon's the president. Really, he's truly the president. He was tweeting about it himself. One second, let me find it on my phone. Elon was today and seemingly unhappy about the manipulations that we're seeing. So here's what happened first. It was...

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Pramala Jayapal, a member of the squad, who tweeted out, it's not clear who's in charge. She's got a picture of Elon at the Resolute desk. And it's not President-elect Donald Trump. Shadow President Elon Musk spent all day railing against Republicans' CR, succeeded in killing the bill, and then Trump decided to follow his lead.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Then somebody retweets this and says, for awareness, note the language here. It's very intentional strategy. The goal is to weaken Trump and Elon by fomenting tensions between them, by jabbing Trump about not being the alpha. The idea is to provoke him, to sideline Elon and to fray the relationship. And Elon retweeted that saying, that is exactly the goal.

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The political and legacy media puppets all got their new instructions yesterday and are now parroting the same message to drive a wedge between Donald Trump and me. They will fail. You agree that's the strategy right now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
They don't know what to do. Labeling Donald Trump Hitler didn't work. America's Mussolini, nah, the American public didn't buy it. So now, for now, they've come up with a new way to try to irritate Donald Trump and the to break apart a really important and potentially even holy alliance between Donald Trump and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I watch him with Trump at these events. And I think one thing, if Trump did not want him there, he would not be there. Trump's not shy about kicking anybody out of his orbit. And if he doesn't want to share these events or the spotlight with Elon Musk, he'll tell him to get out. Trump is not a shrinking violet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Even though Elon's huge and really helped him out, I mean, I think he understands Elon supports the movement. It's not all about one man. It's about the movement. So he has an ally, I think, probably for life there. It's not to say there could be no personality clashes, but the media is clearly trying to drive a wedge between them. And I think it's great Elon responded on the record.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Let me follow up on something you said about Speaker Mike Johnson. So the conventional analysis is that he was doing pretty well prior to this, that he had managed to make himself into one of the critical Trump orbit people, that when we saw pictures tweeted out at the UFC events of the so-called Avengers, you know, Tulsi, Elon, Vivek, J.D., Trump. He was in there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He was kind of like the extra, like in the back, and me too, me too. And that even the political convention now is a big change for him in 24 hours, and he's probably not going to survive as speaker. So you said he's got to go. Why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The latest line, Trump is nothing more than Elon's puppet. They got scared.

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Senator Rand Paul was suggesting a new Speaker of the House could be Elon Musk. It doesn't actually under the Constitution have to be a sitting member of Congress. Is there any world in which that happens?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah, Elon's pretty busy doing all the things that made him Elon to begin with, but I like it too, just as an idea, just bringing in an outsider to take a look at that organization, same way where he's looking through Doge at the government and say, this thing's all messed up. It hasn't been running well for 20 years.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
President Musk said, don't do it. Don't do it. Trump looked tiny yesterday. He looked like a very little man.

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I mean, the one comfort I've had is, you know, I certainly could, I'd be the smartest person there. So that's exciting. I'm very concerned about the people getting elected to our Congress today. All right, let's keep going. What's going to happen with Trump's cabinet picks? Because they already got one scalp, Matt Gaetz. They were dangerously close to getting Pete Hegseth.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Could still happen, but they don't love RFKJ. They're saying Tulsi is a spy for Russia. So what's going to happen?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The shadow president, Elon Musk. But the daddy they really fear and the daddy who really leads them right now. Donald Trump looks tiny right now. He looks small compared to Elon Musk.

First, welcome to the Elon Musk presidency.

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So talk about the more moderate, in quotes, Republican senators who are risks. You've got Collins and Murkowski. You've got McConnell, who can't stand Trump. And then you've got Ernst, who I realize her language has changed around Pete. But I have to tell you, Steve, I've got real doubts about whether she's ultimately going to vote for him. I don't think she's a yes yet.

I think all I've heard her say she's going to do is commit to seeing him through the hearing. And I don't even know if she cares about her political future in the way the average animal in D.C. does. So I don't know. What do you think?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Okay, I thought Joe Biden was the president. I mean, technically, isn't he still the president? But it's obvious what they're trying to do there, and I'll talk about it in one second.

But last night, my first guest today, Steve Bannon, spoke about what the Democratic Party should expect from the incoming administration when President Trump actually takes office, when he, Bannon, appeared at Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix. And typically for Steve, he did not hold back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I really think when it comes to Pete, the key is, yes, political pressure on some of them. But McConnell, I don't know if that would work on him and Ernst, same thing. But I do think somebody like Joni Ernst cares deeply about what the rank and file troops think and want.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I actually do think even if she's thinking I've got reservations, if she hears from enough rank and file guys and gals that they want him, they want an actual soldier, an actual warrior to take over and look out for them. she could be persuaded by that. And it's starting to happen. You're starting to see more and more do it.

He's shown enormous courage, Fetterman, in dealing with the Israel issue. He does not care how many people protest outside of his home or his office. He runs out there with his Israeli flag. He's in your face about it in a way that I think a lot of people admire. So yeah, he could be one to watch. All right, let's talk about agenda.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
You mentioned at the top, I mean, how long do you think Trump has to really get things done?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
How does he do it? How does he attack immigration in particular? Because what we'd love to see, of course, is an actual law, an actual law that tightens the procedures that make sure some of these Trump policies become law and the next president has to abide by them, especially if it's a Democrat. But we don't have 60 votes in the Senate. We only have 53.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
which makes it tough because the Democrats could filibuster it. Maybe, maybe not, given that the temperature on immigration is so hot right now and even Democratic voters wanted to see a crackdown. But so what exactly on immigration do you want them to do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Okay, what about investigations? Because we've seen a couple of things bubble up recently. There's been buzz around Liz Cheney, who we now have reason to believe may have behaved inappropriately with a key witness in the J6 hearings. With respect to her attorney, there have been allegations made that she interfered in an inappropriate way. Then you've got Fannie Willis,
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
whose disqualification was ordered by the Georgia Appellate Court yesterday. Thank God that was the right decision. And there's real questions about the behavior of some of these people who have been the main chief antagonists of Donald Trump. There's a split on whether he should go after them. He said, success is the best revenge. Not sure I'm inclined to do it, but
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He's filed lawsuits, at least, against certain media personnel and Ann Seltzer, well, the Des Moines Register. So what do you see happening on the investigation or, quote, retaliation front?

Their husband never fills their stocking. And somehow Santa just focuses on the kids.

Work can finally be done on the major issues that this country's facing, and one of the most significant is our national debt. Look, the fact is our nation's broke, and that debt is a house of cards that cannot be quickly dismantled by anyone. So the strategy remains the same when it comes to your investments. You might wanna diversify your savings. Virtually all the experts say that's a good idea.

It's on the top 10 list of things that people might prefer instead of a gift. I mean, I feel like that was written for me.

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I don't know. I think it has gotten too commercialized. And then you feel all stressed out about getting the right gifts. And by the time you're done, you kind of feel the way you feel when you've overeaten. at a big holiday meal. You know, like I've supported American capitalism and ideally some small businesses. And I think people around me will be happy, but this feels excessive, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Like it just always, no matter how big or small you go, it feels kind of just excessive.

So we've got to talk about that. So, so far, our family started right after Thanksgiving with our holiday shows that we watched. We watched Rudolph, which led to a segment on the show talking about what a bully Santa is. And he is a bully in that movie. Santa's gone mean in the Rudolph movie. And then we watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town. You're really more of a year without a Santa Claus guy.

On Best Movie, Best Christmas Movie, our favorite Christmas movie. And they said things like Christmas Story was one of them. Smug went with Godfather, which is not. And Duncan picked Four Christmases, which I had never seen. And you had never seen. You were convinced we had seen it.

This is why I wanna tell you about Birch Gold. So many things are out of our control and out of our president's control that it really can be important to have a safe haven for your savings. Birch Gold Group can help you if you would like to convert all or part of an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold, which is like a hedging of the bets.

Which was, that was, I think, Holmes' favorite movie, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, or Ashbrook. Anyway, I love it. Yeah, and Holmes was A Christmas Vacation. So this led to a whole thing on the show about favorite Christmas movies and what gets you in the mood. And our viewers wrote in, I asked them what their favorite movies were and wrote in by droves with their various submissions.

That you should try Shop Around the Corner. So thank you to the audience who suggested that because we watched it early in the morning yesterday and today or two days this week. We woke up super early and we had it on. And it was so cute.

So the whole premise is that they work together and they don't like each other. Or do they? Because each has a secret pen pal with whom they're having somewhat of a romantic blossoming. And well, if you've seen You've Got Mail, you know how it ends. But you said when we were watching it, there's something really soothing about Jimmy Stewart's voice, like about Jimmy Stewart in general.

What's amazing is that movie was made in 1940. 1940, think about that. So that's 85 years ago, almost 85. That's incredible. And we were talking, so Doug, we turn it on and it's like, it is charming. So we have a little Christmas tree in our bedroom this time of year, which I love and highly recommend. And in the morning we turn on the lights and we make a coffee.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
We have a little coffee maker in the room and And we sit there in our bed and we have coffee and we chat. And it's actually many days, the only time we have to really catch up before everything goes nuts. And this time of year, sometimes we'll put on like a cute movie. I remember last year we watched Serendipity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's a great one. Notwithstanding that John Cusack is a prick, but you can suspend your disbelief. And this year, so we were watching that and, And you said to me, the setting's beautiful, we've got a little Christmas tree going, we've got our coffee, the black and white film, and you go, everyone in this movie is dead, even the babies.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Sweet thought, honey.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So they might, the babies might still be alive. But the thing that always strikes me is that you knew my Nana very well, who died at 101, right before Trump was elected. It was 16, October of 16. She was born in 1915, 1915. And I look at that, I'm like, Nana was 25. Someone we've known in our lifetime very, very well was alive and vibrant when this black and white 1940 film was made.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It's weird to think about.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Right. We need to find out. No, it's funny because you saw him and then you had a second, as we called it, a play date. I'm like, Doug's got another play date with his new best friend. But what a fascinating man.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And you said he was sharp as a tack.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
See, now these are the fascinating interactions that Doug has, and he reads amazing books, and then he writes amazing books, like The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel, which you should all buy for Christmas. It's still crushing it. Amazingly, it's still doing so well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. So it's still available for you. It's, it's, it's, uh, available in paperwork too. So you can get paperback so you can get the cheaper version if you want though. It's, it's bargain at any, at any price, mysterious case of Rudolph diesel, by the way, may I just say, I just want the audience to see how much I've I have drunk so far. We're actually having this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Great speech, and thank you for embodying what many of us are feeling there, especially at the end. It's like, okay, spare me on the unity. That's what Joe Biden promised us when we took office. We knew he didn't mean it. You're advocating a more honest approach. No.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And it's like one tiny, it's like a half an inch of this glass. And I already feel a little woozy. That Jack Carr whiskey is not messing around.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh no, Debbie Murphy just reminded me I have a lot of reads after the show. Don't get drunk. I got to sip it slowly, sip it slowly. It's like we're going into the holiday period. So I got a lot going on anyway. Um, okay. So let's, let's go through a couple of things. I want to go through a story that happened before I get too intoxicated to us yesterday on Christmas gifts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Is this my camera? You guys, I have a lost all focus. This is my camera, right? For the, for the thank you radar. Um, I'm drunk already. I've lost all control of the show. Okay. So I never get Christmas gifts for the kids' teachers. And in my defense, I won't be too much of a sexist pig about it. Doug never does either. Just because I'm the mom doesn't mean it has to be me, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
for the record, but let's face it. It's always the moms. So, um, I had dinner with some friends here in town a couple of weeks ago and there were four of us and two were like, you never get gifts for the teachers that like around Christmas. I'm like, no, like never. I'm like, no, my friends were like, oh, okay. They weren't passing judgment. They were, but they were surprised.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And there was another mom there who was like, oh no, me neither. And she's a working mom. And she, and she was like solidarity. Right. But it's stuck in my craw. Like, oh my God, our kids are the only ones going in there. This is bad. I need to get some gifts.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, long story short, I decided to get like a bath bomb, you know, like one of those round, looks like chalk bombs that you throw into your bath and it makes into, into this like soothing, fun kind of bubble bath-ish thing. And I had Abby order me the one that I found online so I could try it first, make sure I'm not giving away something disgusting. And then I also saw this thing online.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It was really cute. It was like lab test tubes, you know, like what you'd see in a science lab. And they had these labels on them. Okay. Take that down for now. And, uh, so I tried that out too. And that was the winner. I'm like, that's actually really cute with the test tubes. So Abby bought like a few of them. She had them wrapped. And yesterday the kids were leaving for school.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yardley was going with you and the boys were going with me. And, and I remembered, I'm like, oh, take your gifts. I've got, I'm on top of it this year. So you and Yardley leave with one for her teacher and the boys each have two female teachers. So they had their two and two. And Thatcher was like, what do you mean test tubes? I'm like, oh, they're, there's like, they look like lab test tubes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And he's like, well, what's written on them? And I was like, I don't like little messages. Like one said, spirit guide, you know, it's cute. So I pulled up the website just so they could look at it while I was getting them ready and getting myself ready to leave. And I look over at them and Thatcher, who's 11, has eyes like silver dollars. And I'm like, what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And Yates, who's 15, goes, well, I certainly hope tube number two isn't in the gift. I'm like, uh-oh. What's in tube number two? So I take a look at my own phone that they're looking at. And tube number two reads in big writing, get naked. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Which we almost had our 15-year-old.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh my God. So now I'm like, it's too late to save Yardley, but I can still save the boys. So I decide there's such nice gifts. I'm actually still excited about my gift that I take out the steak knife and I start to try to perform a surgery on it, Duggar. And I try to get in there. So like, cause I still had my own test kit up in the bathroom. And I was like, there are some innocuous tubes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I could replace the offensive ones with the innocuous ones. So I send Yates up to get the innocuous tubes. And I was like, I can't do it. There's so many layers. It's been so beautifully wrapped, the tissue paper and then the real paper and lots of tape. And I'm like, I can't, I said, Thatcher, it's probably okay. Don't you think maybe we could just, we could just go with it as is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Thatcher's like, I don't think it's okay, mom. Please don't make me give that to my teacher. So we replaced the boys with some candles. And Yardley's teacher got the special holiday brunt message of get naked, get drunk, and get drugged.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Happy New Year. I did send her a note, and she was a very, very good sport. She laughed and thought it was hysterical, but... There are some things you have to admit you're not good at, especially when you're a working mom and gift giving is on the list.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It was a lot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
No, no, no. You've offered to help many times, but I don't like it when you help.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Mm-hmm. Well, the other problem is Doug and I have a philosophical disagreement about Christmas where it's like, I'm like, I like a lot. And Doug's like, these four would make everyone really happy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Santa brings a lot already. And I supplement.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Because I like the look of excess. It could be something small. It could be like a little Nerf football. But I wrap it because it's just so fun to walk down and see that, you know, big thing under the tree.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's kind of how I feel about it. Okay. Let's talk about, well, the drinks. We do the eggnog. We do, what else? Do we typically have a Christmas drink? Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So here is the instruction. MK, read the questions and give us your answer. Doug, the producers and Peko will confirm if you are correct. Okay. Okay.

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I know it. Oh, it was terrible. And then it was wonderful.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
But this involved Yates.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Who we asked, he's our eldest. Now he's 15. But at the time he was like four and we had seen Polar Express and we had asked him like, is there any special thing, any special toy, anything?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
weeks in advance. And he was like, no, no, no. He was little, maybe five. Anyway, no, no, no, no, no. And it was literally 11 o'clock Christmas Eve. And he, he had just like woken up from his slumber and like toddled out. And he was like, I thought of what I want.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And of course we're like the window has closed, sir. And he's like, I want the bell. I want one of silver magic bell from Santa's reindeer from polar express. He had just seen polar express. We were like, yeah, we're screwed. The one thing he wants right down the street from Dwayne Reed. Right. But Dwayne Reed was closed on Christmas Eve and didn't have the Christmas bell. So we were like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He's not going to get it. This is so sad. Oh, well, you know, he waited too late. Maybe he'll learn in the future, but like it is sad. So then you go to set up the train. We had just bought a train for underneath the Christmas tree. Yeah. And we had purchased a Polar Express train. And lo and behold, in the box was the Christmas Santa's reindeer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He was not a good dresser. You've heard the story. yellow golf shirt and high-waisted khaki pants when we first met. This is not an appropriate outfit for anyone's first date. And so, yes, I was extremely generous on our first Christmas, even though I didn't really have much money back then.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Feel very grateful to you all. Feel especially hopeful this time of year, as I know a lot of you do too, as we're now, you know, what, a month away. Actually, it's a month from today that Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. And it happened despite overwhelming odds against him and despite a media that is entirely against him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And then in the morning before they come upstairs to get us, they say a prayer together, which is, they came up with this on their own. They told us about it after a couple of years after doing it. And then they come right to our room and we walk out together.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. Thank you, Dr. Leonard Sacks.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. We're reinforcing how important that is. Okay. Um, Let's see. Okay, seven. What are Doug's hopes for the new year? And he always has the same hopes. Like everybody stays well, everybody thrives.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah, see, I'm nailing it. Okay, eight. If Doug could change one thing from the past year, what would it be? Well, I think we'd both like your mom to be feeling better.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, I have another candidate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I have another candidate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh, my God. This is the best. I'm going to fortify myself for this one. So we went to Scandinavia in June.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
A family. We went to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. And when we got to Denmark, we went to the big amusement park there that everybody goes to. What's it called again? I don't know. We went there. Gardens.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It's the one that Disney World was based on. And... We went on this very, very mild... Already, this is fake news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Called the Ruchibon. It was so mild. You didn't even have the shoulder harness. It just had the lap bar where you hold. And there was a man operating it. The brakes required his foot to press the... It was a manual brake. How dangerous could it be, quite frankly? And so... You know how the roller coasters will take your picture when you're on the roller coaster?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, it took our picture and we went and saw it on the little screen. And I'm just going to show you the first picture that we saw. We went down to see the screen. Now, here you can see. Oh, Tivoli Gardens. That's what it was. I can see. So you can see there's yours truly. And I'm next to our son, Thatcher. And you can see I'm really enjoying myself. I love the root jabonin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
But you can see Doug is behind me and it's unclear whether Doug is enjoying it quite as much as Thatcher and I are. And they are the two kids who are behind him. And then we scrolled in the list of photos that you could purchase, which I did, by the way. And look at Doug.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The horror.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
All right. Let's spend a minute on what's happening on Capitol Hill, because it's confusing, I think, to the average person who does not pay a lot of attention to continuing resolutions or these end of year budget wars that always seem to wind up the same way with them saying, just fund it, just fund it under the same terms as we've been funding it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's too much, dude. I'm a SEAL.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So do you remember how that went for me when I was, like, when you got off?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
85.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971

The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
it's so funny if you guys are listening on Sirius XM or on podcast you've got to go to youtube.com go to about I don't know 90 minutes into the show and look at this picture because it's so out of character for you that's what made it so funny oh nice save thank you truly you're always so composed you're always strong you're always our defender our leader and uh there you were genuinely scared and horrified yeah
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I'm going to send these pictures.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I'm going to send those to the, to the team too. No, it was four times FYI.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. And, um, yeah, so he tried again and it failed and then, and then, uh, the final time you nailed it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Nailed it. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
You look totally, totally comfortable. Um, okay. Stand by. Let's see. Um, Okay. Nine. Finish this sentence for Doug. It's not Christmas without... Hmm. Strudwick eating something he shouldn't be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh, that's a tough one. I don't... Montana? A White Christmas in Montana? The fam?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Okay, so it's equal. Okay, 10. How early does the family start Christmas shopping? The family. How early does the family? Ladies, how early does the family start?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The family starts maybe like two weeks before because if you wait too long, you can't get anything on Amazon.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. There we go. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much. Um, I do think we should talk about it's a wonderful life and then we'll take a quick break because that is one of our family traditions and it, I love it. It's my favorite family tradition. Here is a clip from the wonderful movie. It's a wonderful life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So in a nutshell, what's happening is we're going to run out of money to fund the government. They tried, including Speaker Johnson, spearheaded an effort to try to continue the existing funding, but with some hikes like pay hikes for Congress and ongoing funding for some very controversial organizations, but just to sort of kick the can down the road to March. And the
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It gave me a little chill just watching that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Right? And Donna Reed is so good. She's so beautiful. So we decided to make the most of this movie. I've told the audience this story before, but for those who don't know, do you want to explain what we do when we watch it as a family?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
There's a scene where he gets married and they're like, and Donna Reed shows up with Jimmy Stewart. And she's like, you know, bread that this house may never know hunger or salt that they never may never be bland or whatever it is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I went to this a showing of it in Chicago years ago, like 20 years ago with some friends. And we saw them like they did this in the theater. They treated it like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And I love, love, love. You guys totally do this with your families. So you put on the movie and every time Mr. Potter comes on, what do we do?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
You hiss. Yeah, you hiss. And every time Clarence comes on.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
You ring the bell. And every time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's exactly right. It's not my inane stupidity as it is with her. It's this Jack Carr whiskey. Anywho, and then we throw salt and we throw bread at that scene where they go visit Mr. Martini and he's getting a home and she does the toast. And I don't know, it's just so fun. The whole thing is like... It's just a fun way to watch the movie and we all look forward to it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's one of our Christmas traditions.

Why do the ads seem so funny to me when I've had something to drink?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I do. It's true. OK, so speak. And that is the reason why Strudwick is allowed to remain with our family.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yes. So today he had yet another terrible piece of behavior. Do you care to share?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The Republicans, some 30 of them in the House who never vote for these, who just always say this is so irresponsible. What are we doing? We have enormous debt and deficits. We're not going to support this. Necessitated Speaker Johnson, he would say, reaching out to some Democrats to get approval for this bill. That necessitated Republicans.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Someone gave us as a gift.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He's fine. So this one involves Abigail Finan, their moose munch, who received the gift from one of our friends of the show. And very nice. Thank you, Adam Carolla, by the way. And we really appreciate that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, I mean, you know, honestly, frankly, better him than me because I love that stuff would have gone right to the eggnog. Exactly. And she was like, I don't know what I was thinking. I've got to read you what she wrote because she was so mortified. She knows Strud too well. She's yelling in the other room. I said, hey, did you take a picture?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Because we always post it on the website with Meg Storm. And she wrote, no, I was so stressed out, I didn't. I literally sprinted back because I was like, WTF, Abby, you don't leave like a leftover sandwich on the counter and you left a large Harry and David gift basket there? It's really an egregious mistake. Unbelievable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Because her sin was leaving anything on the kitchen counter because she knows exactly...
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
what happens almost instantly can't leave for two minutes no two seconds and yet neither of us we were like he's fine you're good yeah and sure enough hours later he's 100 totally there's nothing wrong with stradwick sugar-free gum chocolate grapes whatever he eats it all all the stuff we were told would kill him instantly he's absolutely fine like now the vet is like you're not bringing him in we're like no he's fine
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. We don't recommend this plan at home. We don't know if your dog's indestructible, but our dog is unbelievable. And plus, at some point, Darwinism kicks in. It's like, I mean, we're how many thousands of dollars in the hole? I mean, you hesitate to even hazard a guess. Yeah. Now, you did bring three books with you today, sir. Why did you do that? You have some helpful hints.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I recommended it to, um, my trainer who is a younger guy. He's married with a family, but he's younger than we are. And he couldn't put it down. Like he, he was like, what else does Doug have? I'll read anything Doug recommends.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It's hard to believe he's no longer with us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
all these spending extravaganzas because they won't support it unless they get some of their favorites in there. And the whole thing wound up a very ugly nightmare that was about to be shoved through. And then Vivek and Elon, who are running Department of Government Efficiency, Doge's extra-governmental watchdog on spending, stepped in to say, what are we doing? Why are we doing this?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The mysterious case of Rudolph Diesel.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Wow.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So I was picking Thatcher up from school yesterday or dropping off school, and I said, guess who's coming on the program tomorrow? He said, who? And I said, Doug Brunt. He said, oh. And I said, what do you think I should ask him? And he said, you should ask him, what will it take for people to know that diesel is a proper noun that should be written with a capital D? First of all, so sweet.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Our 11-year-old thought of that. Yeah. And what do you think? You know, this guy who you've kind of brought back to life and generated a whole new conversation on with your book, The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel. What do you think it'll take to make people know that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And that there was blowback. And then Trump dropped in with another message, which I'll get to in one second. Anyway, the whole thing blew up. It all blew up. And now they might have a new deal that's like a very slimmed down version of all this. But for the people at home who are lost already with me, with this back and forth, Steve, what is the bottom line? What do they need to know?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So good. And that's why it's doing so well, because it's a fascinating story and Doug solves a mystery. All right. Final thing. The first guest today was Steve Bannon, with whom I and frankly, we have a very interesting history. The audience is well aware by this point. What did you think following Steve Bannon and how you feeling about the whole thing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Longer than Abigail Finan?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I will say in his defense, their other strategy of making me like an enemy who they were not afraid to bash worked very well and really communicated one of the core messages of Trumpism and MAGA, which is there are no sacred cows. We'll go after anyone, which is a really valuable message. Like that is what... The MAGA Corps wanted to hear wasn't about hatred for me or Fox.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It was just like, yes, be that wrecking ball. Like we, too, have no sacred cows. The sacred cows are the ones held by an establishment that loathes or ignores us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Same.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, I know Steve Bannon actually had a rough 2024 in some ways. I mean, his show is great. He's great. But yeah, there was the whole prison sentence, which is part of the reason why he's like, F these guys. I mean, I know he's saying... It's not about personal retributions, but retribution. But you couldn't blame him if it were because what happened to him was grossly unfair.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Do you mean you and Abby, my team?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Very important.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He won. There's nothing to second guess.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
How he is now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
That's interesting. I don't know. I feel like I am... It's so funny to me, the arc of my own story with Steve, because I really couldn't stand him. I took it very personally when he was coming for me in that PBS documentary. And just with time, I really just... separated from those personal feelings. It wasn't that they went away.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It was like a separation, you know, like they were still there and I understood why I had them. I didn't conclude that I was wrong. I just no longer felt, you know, the energy around them. And that morning that we started talking about, like, should we talk to him? I asked you because Abby was like, absolutely not. Never. I'll never allow it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And you and I had had that talk over our coffee that morning in the bed, you know, chatting. And you were like, I don't feel it either. That that animus toward him anymore. It's just we have so many common enemies and he's such an effective fighter.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
were on the wane and i started to appreciate him more as a tactical fighter yeah all right now i have two other points i want to get to on the subject of george stephanopoulos there was a funny and interesting exchange over on the podcast of our pals the real clear politics guys um andrew walworth uh tom bevin and carl cannon and they were talking about stephanopoulos and
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And just the ridiculous—as soon as he committed this error that cost them—error is being charitable—that cost them $16 million, ABC News re-signed him at a reported—it could be $19 million, could be $20 million, could be $25 million. Those are the three numbers I've seen reported per year. I mean, it's ridiculous.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
It's a total state sanction of his kind of journalism, which means ABC News likes it and wants a whole lot more of it. Well, great. You're going to get that. Yeah. Anyway, they started to get into a discussion about anchor salaries and this one in particular for Stephanopoulos and listen to this exchange. I heard it organically last night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
He's going to be making, you know, around 20 million a year, which in any other business, if you were responsible for, uh, you were negligent in your job and cost your organization, uh, $15 million via a lawsuit, um, you probably wouldn't be rewarded.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
At that salary, he's sort of mid-range, I think, for anchors. Really? Yeah, for the morning shows. These anchors, they work very hard, long hours. Come on. And they have a lot of responsibility. They've got morals clauses that they have to live up to. It's... Andy, please. What would McLaughlin say?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Oh, Megyn Kelly is going to light you up. We're going to be on her show next week. He's going to back in her doghouse, isn't he?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Well, first, he got lit up the last time because he said Kamala Harris was like Winston Churchill. Oh, boy. Which Andy and I sparred over, which is crazy talk. And but... I was laughing about this and I love Andy. He's a great guy. That's a fun podcast to listen to. If you want straight politics and analysis, I really enjoy it. But, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I don't have a problem with Stephanopoulos' salary, obviously. I'd love to see news people paid well if they deserve it. But I do think enormous money in news can have the effect of separating the anchor from his or her audience, from people who have real struggles. And I've actually asked myself, why – A couple, okay, so a couple of things. Why didn't that happen to me?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Because I have made a lot of money in this business and I've got some thoughts on that. But secondly, to suggest what George does is hard work, I think is absurd. I love you, Andy, but that's absurd. I look around at my own family You know, my mom, lifetime nurse at the Albany VA. My stepfather, my dad who died when I was young was a professor, but my stepfather was a plumber.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
My stepsister's a nurse who works overnight ICU care. My stepbrother's a cop. Like these are people, I mean, my cop stepbrother puts his life on the line every day. And now he's retired, but he was for 20 plus years. You know, my mom and like dealing in blood and guts and lives and real trauma every day, like the amount of shit that these people have to deal with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Like these, nevermind a plumber, speaking of dealing with shit. My point is simply like news anchors like George Stephanopoulos at Network News have a red carpet rolled out for them when they show up to work. They've got tons of producers coming out of their ears who want to make their lives better. He has to wake up a little early.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah.

This is nothing to be remarked on. And the morals clause, usually they're written such that you really have to commit a crime almost to really be balanced on them or be a complete asshole. That's why most people don't get balanced off of them. That's nothing to live up to. Yeah. It certainly doesn't justify the enormous salary. They do it because they give the anchor a fraction of what they earn.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
On the Kelly file alone, the last year I was there, I know Fox made over $100 million in the advertising. So I made a nice salary there, nowhere near even what George Stephanopoulos was making there. But that's just because you're a moneymaker for them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Cable news is actually a lot harder of a lift.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
No. Well, that was Carl's point. He was saying you can't get an anchor for 8 million who would do a great job. Come on. And he was absolutely right about that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I do think, especially in this failing news industry, the mainstream, the cable news industry, both of whom are hemorrhaging, hemorrhaging audience, these salaries should be rectified to, you know, bring them back down to the commensurate levels. My team did analysis for me. Actually, I have it here. It's actually really devastating what's happened to, you know, Nevermind network news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
They used to be in like 5 million, 6 million a morning. Now they're down to like two and a half million. Their audience has been cut in half in the morning news.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah, probably even uglier. And in cable primetime, listen to this. We pulled the numbers. So primetime, we compared 2016 to 2024. At FNC, I was in the prime time in 2016. This is the key advertising demo of 25 to 54. The average for 2016 was almost 500,000, 481,000 in the key demo of 25 to 54 year olds this past year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So it's comparison, you know, 16 to 24, those are both big election years involving Trump. So they should be comparative. So 2024, the average demo on Fox, which is the number one network, was almost 300,298. So it's almost a 200,000 difference, 183,000. They lost almost 200,000. That's 40% of their key audience in the demo. And they're number one.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Look at CNN in 2016, the demo, the average was 423,000. This past year, 151,000. That's a loss of 272,000 in their audience, which if my math is correct is 35% of their audience. Oh, wait, I just conflated a couple of numbers. Yeah, no, no, no, I have it right. And then MSNBC, 16, they averaged 270,000 in the key demo. This past year, 137. Wow. Which is a loss of 50. See, that's your math skills.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The loss of 50% of their audience, they're hemorrhaging. By the way, the Kelly file, our average in the demo when we were on air that year was 569,000, which made us number one in audience. All of cable news, which is why I get so horrified when they talk about now the average in the MSNBC is getting down towards slashies, under 50,000. My average was almost 570,000 in the key demo.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Cable news is a shocker. shadow of its former self, so is broadcast. So these numbers, like the Stephanopoulos number, are now a joke. They're just disproportionate to the work and the product.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Put it a little later, maybe like 10, 08.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Agreed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Okay. Last but not least, I'm jumping around, but I feel like we missed something important on our Christmas traditions and it involves one big night during our trip to Montana. And we all look forward to it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I think.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And I think it happened thanks to honest brokers like the ones who listen to this show, who are in the market for actual news, real facts, yes, opinion, but based on real facts and not misleading bullshit on one side or the other. So thank you to all of you very much. We've got two great guests today. I'm so excited about the guests we have to end out the year. The two Bs. Bannon and Brunt.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And what is it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah. Yeah. Costume night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
But nine times out of 10, it's just us five and Ken, your brother, who we love. He's one of the core six. And we've done so many fun things. We did Wonka one year. We did Gilligan's Island one year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai. That was awesome. And so the way it's worked most years, not all, you did Gilligan's Island. That's actually in New Jersey because I love costumes year-round. That's in New Jersey where I made you wear a purple suit because we just did like a fun colors.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Yeah, we did a fun colors party. But I love the costumes year-round. So over the Christmas season, and people could do this at home too, it happens to be yours truly because I love costumes, but I'll come up with a theme. And nobody knows what the theme is except for me. And we get to costume night. Annette. Yeah, Abby knows. She's critical. And Yezi, who helps us with the costumes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And what we'll do is I order fun backgrounds for like the main family room. Everybody has to stay in another part of the house. And I set up the stuff and then I set out everybody's costumes on their beds. And I say, okay, it's time. And everybody goes to their bedroom and they see the costume and the big theme is revealed. They put on their costumes and then we meet in the family room.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
And then we don't really do anything other than have a fun dinner and a fun night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
Totally.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
So do you have any guesses on what this year's theme is going to be?
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
No hints, no forecasts. I'm like Ruth Bader Ginsburg with the abortion confirmation hearing question.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
The Richard Bonin. How did I miss that? My gosh. Well, so no guess.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
But I will reveal to the audience when we get back what we did. And it is on point for the year that we've had. And it's something that everyone will love.
The Megyn Kelly Show
"Political War" Coming For Trump in 2025, and Christmas Traditions, with Steve Bannon and Doug Brunt | Ep. 971
I did consider that, but then I thought no one's going to want to go as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, so I ixnayed it. Anyway, I think you're really going to enjoy it. I'm excited. I can't wait to show you, the kids, and ultimately the audience what we did. In the meantime... to our lovely audience. God bless you all. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year.

My husband, Doug Brunt, will come up in our second hour. And my team has prepared a special holiday quiz for me to take showing how well I know Doug's Christmas traditions and memories. I have not yet seen it, but I plan to ace it. So we will see how that goes in hour two. All right. And in our first guest, we have another important B, which is Steve Bannon. And here's where we're going to start.

Part of the problem is, you know, most of the spending is on entitlement spending and no, no politician, including Trump wants to touch that Medicare, Medicaid, social security.

I just feel like you're right. We need to know how is it that Jill Biden somehow didn't see what all these senators saw? Why? Who else demanded that two neurologists evaluate her and release their report? Right. And when did they know? Because it wasn't just that debate. They've totally gotten away with it. Trump won. but there's been no accountability in there and there won't be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And the same media, you know, who failed to notice that a neurologist came to the white house eight to 10 times over the previous year, didn't break this story. They didn't even break the fact that Chuck Schumer met with Biden. Ruthless broke that. Now here we are as he's about to leave office, right? It's too late to, to 25th amendment him out of office. He's about to leave.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Because the news media will have to take some of these speeches. And then we'll take you behind the scenes all weekend on our social accounts, you know, Twitter and Facebook and Insta and TikTok, all of them, if TikTok's around, which it's going to be. I'm not, I don't actually think it's going away, even though the Supreme Court ruled against TikTok, like in favor of the ban.

Yes. Well, that's what, I don't know if you saw this, but Scott Jennings was on CNN yesterday asking, I wasn't Scott Jennings saying, how did he get rich? So who was it? It was somebody on CNN saying it was Kevin O'Leary. Yeah. From, from Shark Tank saying, how, how does, where did all of his money come from? The guys here, we have it actually. Let's watch it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah, and it's not going to turn out the way Abby Phillip wants it to. So how did he get rich? Does anybody know how he has the Porsche... And the Rehoboth Beach Beach House and Hunter Biden has all these millions from never really having any sort of successful career. No one seems to much care on the Dem side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Well, did you see it? So Biden, one of the comments he made in his farewell address was about stopping trading from U.S. congressmen. And many have speculated that was a shot at her, you know, because obviously she was the one who really took him down with her public pronouncements of let's just wait, give him time to decide. After he'd said 10 ways from Sunday, I'm staying. Right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
In any event, it's going to be a historic event, historic long weekend, and I am super excited to bring it all to you. All right, now let's get to Maureen. Increased tariffs on our trade partners, tax cuts, regulation changes. There's a reason why gold is a diversification tactic in a market that remains uncertain.
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 actually agree with that principle. I don't understand how these people can have inside information about what's going to happen on the law and to certain companies and they're allowed to trade on it. That is called insider trading if you were I'd do it. Here was Biden last night. It's the long goodbye to your point. And he sat after his farewell address. There was another address.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
This was like the dessert with Lawrence O'Donnell. I can't wait to see what the ratings were for this. And OK, here's here's why Biden thinks he's leaving with a record low rating.
The Megyn Kelly Show

It would be such a great look. Just fade away. Right. Like we've asked you to. It's funny. We have a friend who does it all wrong where he's like I'm doing the Irish goodbye. That's not it. If you say it. It's not it. That's not it at all. Here's more. You remember one of his other big things the other night when he gave his farewell address was we have this tech oligarchy in this country now.

I blame her. You do? Yeah. I would never let this happen to my husband. Oh, for this, for this like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But neither one of them can let go. Yeah, but at least he's got the excuse of being infirm. Like she's still a young woman-ish. She's not young, but like she's 74, I think. She's 74, but I also- She's together. She can see 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
Yeah. They kept all the bad polling from him. It's like even in the wake of that debate, that was a dereliction. But the Democrats paid a very high price for that dereliction. Can we play that Kamala Harris soundbite, you guys, where she goes back to her standard words that we heard throughout the campaign? She's speaking out now, promising she's not going to go quietly. So that's good.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And shut your mouth. There's no reason for her to go there personally. She understands 100%. She'll be the center of all the cameras. The story will be about her, which is exactly what she wanted. And now she and Harry are angry at Justine Bateman, according to page six, that she called them disaster tourists. Their feelings are hurt because they really do just want to help Maureen.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Oh, well, you were pointing out a column the other day. It's not just these two losers. A bunch of celebrities are out there. Like, Oh, you know, help my family. These multi-millionaire stars. Like, could you participate in my GoFundMe for my relatives? It's like, who was it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Yeah, Mandy Moore of This Is Us fame. Meanwhile, her partner, who I love... Jack. Milo. Milo Ventimiglia. He didn't do that shit. No. He was on the site and somebody found him surveying his home in ashes. He didn't make it all about like, woe is me. You know, he just answered the questions. He was dignified and he certainly didn't ask people to give him money for himself or his family.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
I can't believe it. I mean, the ABC News is citing based on a source, a report that it's moving indoors, which I don't know if it's true, but if it's true and please God, let it be true. Praise Jesus, Maureen, because it's going to be 10 degrees on Monday.
The Megyn Kelly Show

That says a lot. No, and you also don't see Gwyneth Paltrow flying in and inserting herself into the story under the auspices of, they really need me to ladle out the soup. They really need me to hand out sweatshirts. Like any celebrity or somebody who's as well known as Meghan and Harry are, who does that is doing it for a reason. They know exactly what's going to happen.
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 totally different from like a Gary Sinise who will hold a concert and have people come and pay an admission charge with a deal that I'm going to take all these proceeds and give them like to our vets, right? That's where like you're using your celebrity for good. It's on the table that it's your celebrity that you're, you know, it's, you're going to do this thing. Yeah. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show

They're just, they're trying to look like random good Samaritans. And I was talking about this. I went on Billy Bush's show. He just launched it this week.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And, um, I was saying to me, it's like when you go on to donate to somebody's GoFundMe, um, I know I always click the anonymous thing because I know I'm me and I know, like, I don't want people writing stories about like, Oh, she, she gave this or whatever. It that's the, that's, And it's not just besides the point, it undermines the point of doing it.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Like true charity is something you do just for the other person, just to help them. It shouldn't reflect back on you at all. You should be fading down into nothing. The point is not to get a thank you. If you do it because you also feel good, that's great. But you don't do it to promote yourself, which is totally what they were doing.

This is one of the reasons why, even though Vivek gets under my skin sometimes with his weird little posts about how we need more Urkels, that wasn't on my skin. I just teased him because, but I will tell you, I do know a story personally, a person I had on this show who got canceled over complete BS. This is before Vivek was on the scene as a politician or anything.

He was just private businessman and he heard the story and contacted me and said, I want to pay all of our legal bills. Amazing. I know. And I've never heard him tell this story. He wasn't looking for credit for it, right? I mean, that just speaks to a true, like a good character of a person. These two, it's a totally different story. So shame on them. Shame on Mandy Moore. It's a disgrace.

Right. And they're telling you to get there no later than 8am for a noon inauguration. And then that goes for an hour. And then there's the parade afterward. Like I am such a wuss on the cold. I've got that Ray nods, you know, where you don't get the circulation on the ends of your fingers. Yes. I can't last 10 minutes, nevermind six hours out there. So I really hope it's true.

Just go away. Meanwhile, while we're on LA, they're in a full meltdown there in terms of their politics. The fire chief... almost got fired. Then she had some long heated closed door meeting with the mayor where they had it out by the next day, Saturday, they came out as a sort of United front.

Like we're going to resolve our differences in private, but she continues to rip on the fact that the fire department didn't get the resources it needed the fire chief. And now what you're seeing is reports that there's been a rebellion against her and that there's a push growing for her, the LA fire chief to step down because she hasn't
The Megyn Kelly Show

been taking care of the firefighters in her ranks or listening to their many complaints. So she raised at least one publicly saying, don't defund us the $17 million. Like we need more resources, but you're hearing more and more firefighters from within and including the head of the firefighters union come out and say, we've been sounding the alarm. No one's been listening to us.

And actually some are saying this fire chief needs to go among other things. She's been too focused. on DEI and getting more women. The New York Times has a report on this out right now. She's super focused on getting more women in the fire force because some women in previous years complained that they'd been harassed, et cetera, by some of the guys.

But first, I want to bring you guys all a special announcement. As you may know, we're going to be doing our show from Washington, D.C. on Monday, and that's because I am going to be going to the inauguration of President Donald J.

And you don't seem to have much urgency. I mean, as it goes on and burns, like the problems with staffing and getting the adequate trucks and water there remain. Schellenberger, who's been doing a great, great job on this, tweeted this out today or last night. He's tweeting out an article saying, that reads DEI and corruption behind LA fire catastrophe says new whistleblower.
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 his headline. DEI did not hurt the LA fire department's response to the catastrophic fire, say the media, but anything that Trump's meritocratic standards would. And now whistleblowers within the LA FD say the department lowered standards on ladders, hoses, and pushups to meet DEI quotas for women. And

You gotta get like a Jackie O fur muff. Yes. I gotta tell you, I'm in favor of the fur. I know PETA's gonna yell at me. PETA sends me a letter every week. I said, I only eat the non-cute animals like chickens. And they sent me a whole letter explaining why chickens are cute. I called somebody a pig and they sent me a whole letter saying it's not, that's impolite to pigs. But pigs are smart, right?

This is exactly what Hegseth was trying to say at his confirmation hearings earlier this week. No, they're not, Senator Gillibrand, dumb enough to put it down on a piece of paper saying the women have to meet this lower standard and the men have to meet this higher one. It is a matter of practice in too many areas of the military and obviously the LAFD to do it with a wink and a nod.

Right. It's fine. You can choose whichever color you want to make her, but why does she have to be obese? Exactly. We're trying with the, there's technically a standard. They're all supposed to be meeting on physical fitness. Um, why are we leaning into somehow that's a problem?
The Megyn Kelly Show

But meanwhile, Pete was making such a good point the other day at the confirmation hearing that we don't hear enough of. And Anna Kasparian was on the show the other day trying to make the opposite point. I disagreed with her, but we didn't get a chance to get into it. And she was great, by the way. But she was saying, look, we have a recruiting shortage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And if we have talented women who want to sign up for the military and for combat, the more the merrier because we need more bodies now. And by the way, Pete's never said women shouldn't be in the military. It's about combat. Yeah.
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 know I take her point, but what Pete was saying at the hearing was that we're seeing already a surge in signups by young men who are ready to rejoin because we've had this lag. And I believe, as I think Pete does, as I think Trump does, that one of the main reasons we're seeing the lag, two of the main reasons are DEI.

They do not want to volunteer to put their lives on the line only to be lectured to that they're bad because they're white men. That's one. One of those two things, because black men get lectured too because of their manliness. So that's one. And then two is we've been totally reckless with our blood and treasure. We've been starting these wars. They've been never ending.

We keep sending more over there. We try to impose democracies on countries and regions that will not have it. We double down on dumb. And then when they die, like in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, we say we handled it perfectly. That's what Biden says. No mistakes. It was stellar. Nailed it. Why would you go sign up to fight for a man like that, commander in chief like that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Pete's point is that if we do things right, if we treat the military right, if we have the right messaging, if we choose the right battles and we give them the tools to win, like instead of tying their hands behind the back on bullshit rules of engagement, we're going to see that surge in signups again.

If we teach pro-America lessons in school, as opposed to you should hate your country, we're going to see enlisted numbers go up. The answer is not to lower the standards so we can take the obese ones and the ones who don't pass the IQ test and women who are out of shape or not strong.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985

I think so. The answer, I think, is yes. You do? Yeah. But she wasn't the one who put this fire chief in. It was Garcetti. Right. He was the previous mayor.

Here's what happened. A U.S. Navy veteran by the name of Zachary Young was put on CNN screen in a report done by a reporter named Alex Marquette. It aired on Jake Tapper's show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And in this report, Alex Marquette suggested, CNN suggested that this guy Young was an illegal profiteer working in Afghanistan with those who needed to be evacuated, charging them thousands of dollars to flee the country following the U.S. military withdrawal. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
This guy, Young, was in touch with the CNN reporter, and before they ran the piece, saying, no, not true, and what are you going to say? Because they reached out to him for comment, as you must. And he said, send me a list of questions, you know, and I'll answer 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 they introduced texts in the lawsuit that he brought for defamation against CNN, including one in which Alex Marquette is texting another internal CNN-er how annoyed he is that this guy young has been in touch saying fucking young, just texted. Okay. And then there's a text in which, um, and it starts it with F F S meaning for fuck's sake, fucking young, just Texas. Like he's annoyed that,

The Megyn Kelly Show

you may not remember this, but almost everybody got it wrong and said, because they found that the, um, Congress didn't have the power under the commerce clause to pass Obamacare because that was the first part of the decision.

This is not confirmed by us yet. This is according to SCOTUS blog, which also has the opinion. They're reporting that the individual mandate survives as a tax. So it may have been struck down under the Commerce Clause power, but but spared under the taxing power. Everyone's still trying to figure this out. It's very fluid.

New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
there was a lot to outrun and it caught up with Goldstein, his alleged dark side. He was also an ultra high stakes poker player, frequently playing in the United States and abroad involving stakes, totaling millions, even tens of millions of dollars. He financed that by quote, borrowing millions of dollars.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
This is quoting from the indictment or getting people to stake him in exchange for a share of his winnings. If he won at times, he won big. The indictment recites a 13.8 million win in Hong Kong in 2016 and and taking a California businessman for $26 million in Beverly Hills that same year, but he also frequently held gambling debts approaching $10 million. We'll get to the women in a minute.

But Maureen, and he denies these allegations. Okay, I should say he gave a statement. I believe it was to Reason Magazine, and I screen grabbed it so I would remember to read it, but it was... So, if this is true in any way... you have one of the most, I mean, top 1% prominent attorneys in America.

And at the top, top, most respected place, Supreme Court litigation, the Supreme Court Bar, who all the justices know and probably have cocktails with. on this mad poker spree, where obviously the guy, I mean, appears to have some sort of a gambling addiction, to the tune of $26 million wins and $10 million losses.

There's an allegation he was caught crossing the border with a black bag that had- The duffel bag. Yes, yes, a million dollars in cash.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And one of the ways it sounds like he got caught was he declared that to the customs official, but then didn't put it down as earnings on his taxes, committing some massive tax fraud where he wasn't accounting for all these winnings or the losses when he applied for mortgage loans and banks need to see what you're outstanding liabilities for. It blows my mind, Maureen. I don't know why.

And then they had some sort of a computer program run like AI workouts of how the poker game against that person might go. So he could anticipate he would probably respond like this. So then I should respond like that. Right. A lot of time was put into winning these games. Yeah.

On top of that, they're alleging that he was cheating on his wife, who's a partner in his law firm, with a bunch of women. I think at least four women. Again, back to the National Review report. He was involved, according to the indictment, or pursued intimate personal relationships with at least, oh, at least a dozen women.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
not four, 12 at least, transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to them in addition to other costs of their travel and expenses. He allegedly hired four of them as sham employees of his firm to get them health insurance. He was otherwise allegedly using the firm as a personal piggy bank to cover his lifestyle. That's Alex Murdoch-esque, that last part where you use the law firm money

And the Tom Girardi kind of thing, if it's true that he used the law firm's money to pay off gambling debts and screwing all your other partners and potentially clients and putting four of your alleged affair partners on the company ledger so they can have health insurance benefits.

So the again, Reason.com posted this. It's it's by it's under the Volokh conspiracy, but I saw Reason tweeted it out. And. And this guy, Josh Blackman, did a very good piece. And he went back and looked at all the arguments Tom Goldstein had before the Supreme Court during the relevant timeframe, which I think was from 2015 or 16 to 22. Mm-hmm.

One other interesting nugget on Tom Goldstein, this past November, even though he'd kind of shrunk his public presence, right? Like at the Supreme Court bar, he had retired. He shrunk the SCOTUS blog, which people had said already had basically died pursuant to their announcement they were killing it. But in November-

OK, November of this year after Trump won, Tom Goldstein comes out with a an op ed in The New York Times saying that all remaining lawfare should be dropped against him. It's clearly the preemptive, I'm on your side, Mr. President. And guess who he hired to represent him? Trump's two lawyers. So we're looking for a pardon? Of course.
The Megyn Kelly Show

OK, so as I mentioned, the inauguration of Donald Trump is happening on Monday. One person who will not be there is Michelle Obama. And we're going to get to some of the speculation around why.

New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Mm hmm. So the Obamas did not fully share everything that would normally be shared with the Trumps. Now we see, of course, it must be noted Trump skipped the Biden inauguration because he was doing his January 6th stuff. But now you have Michelle skipping this inauguration. And there is speculation in the press that, yes, it could be because she hates Donald Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show

He filed a lawsuit against the New York Times, which he had Brian Friedman on to discuss, saying it had done a defamatory report on Blake Lively's claims that she was allegedly harassed by this guy when they shot the movie It Ends With Us, a film about domestic violence. In that claim, they said the Times distorted the truth.

When this past summer at the RNC in Milwaukee, the gang from Ruthless came on the program, my program, and they said, we're just going to break this news because everyone's talking about it in our political circles, but no one will report it. And this is what happened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
They did not report text messages, which were full and complete, which showed a very different meaning than the snippets that Blake Lively put in her complaint. And that what in fact happened was Justin didn't harass Blake. Blake was interested in wresting control of this movie away from Justin, who was the director and the producer. She was just an actress in 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 use threat and threats and coercion and bullying to do it. And to the point where this guy was in the basement at his own movies premiere. Now, Brian Friedman has filed on behalf of Justin a lawsuit directly against Blake, Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Sloan, their PR hack.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And they're alleging not only did our PR team not hurt Blake or generate a campaign against Blake or do anything to hurt Blake last August when she came under negative press. That was organic because of her own bad behavior. But you guys were the ones out there generating negative press against Justin. You bullies were the ones who were trying to ruin Justin so you could have your way.

And it's full of text messages and details about meetings like the one they had with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and apparently, though the name is blacked out, there's an assumption, well-founded, that it's Taylor Swift, her BFF, at the Reynolds penthouse in Manhattan, where Ryan Reynolds allegedly bullied Justin so badly...
The Megyn Kelly Show

that a Sony representative who was there, the production team behind the movie, and her biggest takeaway was, I am very sorry that I let him get away with doing that to Justin. It was so nasty. This guy who's just the damn husband.

And now you see text messages in this lawsuit from Blake Lively comparing herself to the heroine of Game of Thrones, the fiercest female character we've seen in years, Khaleesi. That's her riding her dragon. She's the mother of dragons in Game of Thrones. And that's what Blake Lively says in a text message that she too has her dragons, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift.

That's again, believed to be the other person and that they are powerful advocates for her. And while it seems to be said like, I'm so lucky that I have them as great storytellers to help me rewrite this script. What Brian Friedman alleges is, You'll go along or I'll unleash my dragons on you. You loser who no one's ever heard of.

They were until Brian filed that lawsuit against the Times. Everybody was like, we got it wrong on Blake Lively last summer. That was not an organic negative press experience. And they're wrong. There was plenty of organic negative press about Blake Lively last summer that there's been absolutely no proof any of it originated with Justin.

That's what generated her negative press and led to a series of clips of her being insensitive in one way, shape, or form with other interviewers in the past. She has no one to blame but herself for that. It's like, even if he did orchestrate this campaign and there's been zero proof he did, in fact, there's proof to the contrary, So what?

They're softballs. I have to say my favorite actress, the person who I think handles almost all of these things perfectly is Kate Winslet. I just think she does very well in these interviews. Like she seems real to me. She seems honest. She's self-deprecating. I just like, she's not perfect either, but I just feel like more times than not,
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
she gets it right as opposed to like trying to puff herself up. Right. You know, it's kind of being self-deprecating usually. The Brits are great at that. Yeah. Anyway, she could take a lesson here that this is just posted to your publication, the Daily Mail a few minutes ago.

Taylor is proud of the film because her music was featured in it, which gave her a sense of involvement, though she wasn't fully aware of the extent of the project's developments. Her, I guess it's her rep said, quote, she is confused by the claims in the suit as her connection to Blake is purely a friendship with no interest in influencing or controlling Blake's projects, end quote.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
The source insisted, okay, so it's not a named, but the source insisted that Taylor did not purposefully plan to be there during the meeting, but it sounds like an admission she was there. Instead, they said she was simply coming over to hang out with her pal, but arrived while the meeting, which was supposed to have been wrapped up, was still going.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Okay, so she was at the meeting and, you know, they're saying that she was being presented implicitly by Blake as her other dragon, her threat. But to your point about the alleged like sexual tension between these two, if you look at the full complaint, there are texts between them like that go on and on about their connection and how he really likes her.

I'm like- I don't generally text with other men, even men I work with at 11 o'clock at night, unless there's breaking news. It's my executive producer. And I'm like, I need to get on a plane. Right.

So, you know, I, there could be a situation where that's what upset Ryan Reynolds so much. Oh, that's, that's a great. Yep. Yep. Because what they, what they're saying is you fat shamed my wife. And that's another thing they allege in the Brian Friedman lawsuit that That's what they put out, that he fat shamed her because he allegedly went to her trainer to ask how much she weighed.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And they write about how he's got this debilitating disc condition for which he was hospitalized when the movie wrapped. It's not made up. It's real. And he did need to know how much he was going to have to weigh. She lied and said that there was no scene like that. And then they allege here that's because she had it cut. Amazing.

There's just so much more to this story and the media's already like self-flagellating. Oh, we were too mean to Blake. She didn't deserve the few negative things that were said about her. She's been bullied and harassed.

Maureen, you're the best. You're the best. Such a pleasure. Isn't she great, you guys? All right. We're back on Monday from a very cold but indoor President Trump inauguration. What a day for America. We'll have it covered for you. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

So there was a meeting, and now it's all over. The Times admitting Schumer did go to see Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when he was still hanging on, wouldn't yet step down. And the headline in the New York Times is, I'm urging you not to run, how Schumer pushed Biden to drop out. It says, this is based on an interview with half a dozen people who participated in that private push.
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 from an upcoming book called Madhouse Rehoboth. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York sat in the foyer of President Biden's Rehoboth Beach House tired and tense.

He had not slept the night before and on the four-hour drive from Brooklyn to Delaware, he had rehearsed out loud what he planned to say, reviewing note cards as he prepared for what he thought might be the most high-stakes speech he would ever give to an audience of one.

The roughly 45-minute conversation, which took place in a screened-in porch overlooking a pond, was more pointed and emotional than previously known. He said to him, if you run and lose to Trump and we lose the Senate and we don't get back the House, that 50 years of amazing, beautiful work goes out the window. P.S., that's what happened.

But worse, you go down in American history as one of the darkest figures. He would end with a directive. If I were you, I would not run. And I'm urging you not to run. He says, Mr. President, you're not getting the information as to what the chances are. When he asked whether Mr. Biden has talked to his pollsters about his chances of winning, the president shook his head.
The Megyn Kelly Show

But before the inauguration, which, as you know, is on Monday, on Sunday, I'll be joining President-elect Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, Elon Musk and more, speaking at the president's final rally. It's his pre inauguration rally. He loves the rallies, right? He doesn't have to have a rally. He won, right? But he loves interacting with his voters and his fans and the American people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Schumer says, well, I have talked to them. My guess is you have about a 5% chance. None of your pollsters disagree with me. Only twice did Mr. Biden interrupt to ask a question, and both times it was... Do you really think Kamala can win? Mr. Schumer said he didn't know, but that she had a far better chance.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
The two embraces Mr. Schumer headed back to the car where he broke down in tears as he recounted the meeting to his aides. He didn't know what Mr. Biden would end up doing, he told them, but he felt he had gotten through to him. How about that? By the way, they also report that Obama went to Schumer and said, you have to do it. He's not gonna listen to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
He doesn't because of our fragile relationship, admitting they don't like each other.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Same. Well, they also report that Chuck Schumer demanded the meeting, yes, because Obama asked him to do it and said, I can't be the one. He's not going to listen to me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
Um, because his members in the Senate, he, he said, quote, I cannot hold them back anymore. Remember when Biden sent that letter, I think it was January 8th. They dated it as saying it's, it's done. Stop. It was a bad night, July, July 8th. It was like, it's done. Move, move on. I'm fine. I'm staying in it. Like put on your big girl pants. We're going forward.
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 kind of declared the debate over. Mm-hmm. Well, this is saying that behind the scenes, it wasn't over. And the top senators were in a tailspin, understanding that he couldn't do it. And they were about to write a letter saying that he needed to step down. and that Schumer was saying to Biden, like, you don't want that. They're going to come out en masse against you, Democrat senators.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
And they also reported that Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island in the news this week for being the top Dem cross-examining Pete Hegseth on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Remember, he was the one who was like- I voted for all the nominees of every president since I've been on this committee, you know, 20 years ago, and I don't think that you can do it, Mr. Erickson.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
So anyway, Jack Reed, who is a West Point grad, former paratrooper, apparently said he could no longer support his commander in chief unless Mr. Biden could produce two neurologists to issue a public report saying he was fit to serve and then hold a news conference where anyone could ask questions. Where were these effing reports at the time? Nevermind before the June debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
So they asked me to appear. It's my honor to do it. And I'd love to hear from you on what you'd like to hear me talk about. They give you like around eight minutes. It's not a ton of time. And I'd love to hear what you would be interested in, right? Because it is an opportunity to take the message to some people who don't always hear us talk, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
There's not good stuff. But he's still out there trying to make his closing argument about how great he was and what a threat Donald Trump is. I mean, what I do think is interesting, too, about this is it does confirm Biden's got some political instincts asking twice, do you really think Kamala can win? He knew he couldn't admit to himself that he was going to lose given his infirmity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
New Details About Biden Coup, CNN Loses Millions in Defamation Case, and Obama Drama, with Maureen Callahan | Ep. 985
But at some level, he still knew she's not the answer. And, you know, reportedly Obama knew that, too. It's like, where's the in-depth piece on like who ultimately said it must be her? Like she's it's got to be Kamala Kamala. Because of the black women in our party, whatever, like how did they allow themselves to get into that position?

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Did they tell you that you were cleared?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Okay. And did they tell you you were cleared and? You were good to go?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Well, what we're trying to do is help them because the way I see it is we're trying to provide them with closure. You can help us do that and with some comfort, you know, and just figuring out what the story is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You've heard his name again and again in this series. Everyone wants to hear from him and find out what he knows. Well, after 12 plus years, we found him. If you're watching, that's him in the red sweatshirt on the bike. We tracked him back to New Jersey, where he was arrested for shoplifting in 2022. Now that we know where he is, it's time to figure out the best way to get him to talk.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You worked in the neighborhood that night, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
General. So why would somebody have said they saw you outside of the Irwin's house that night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And you didn't know the Irwins at all, Deborah and Jeremy?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Yeah. And you guys used to date, but did she have any involvement in this whole thing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Now, did you have those phones? Those... Because we we understand that you told a lawyer Cindy short that you found those phones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
What do you think happened to those phones? You think the same person who has the baby has the phones?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
What did you hear about that? Anything?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Why do you think, because you knew the neighborhood a little bit, but certainly better than we do, why would somebody take a baby?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Yeah. Well, what do you think, I mean, I know that There were a lot of people in the area who were on drugs, meth, and so on. And we heard a little bit of that from Megan. Is there any chance somebody got messed up on drugs and did something to the baby?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
What do you think happened?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Well, why would anybody say that they saw you outside of the Irwin's house that night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You've never been in that house, never, never once. So. If your fingerprints are on those phones, what does that tell us?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Yeah. Like, why would your fingerprints be on those phones? I don't know why.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Here's part of my strategy session with our go-to experts, Bill Stanton and Phil Houston. So unbelievably, we found Jersey. After all this time, nobody could find him. Cindy Short found him, but the cops apparently didn't know where he was for some time. Jim Spellman, who's been doing yeoman's work on this case, couldn't find him. We found him. And now we got to decide what to do with him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
OK. And you heard that story. You mentioned that one of the phones called Megan Wright that night.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You believe that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
She called the police and told them you were going to be at the Watson's that night? Why?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You didn't? You didn't go to her house?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Did you ever set anything on fire of hers or around her?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That wasn't you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So you got you got questioned by the cops and the FBI. Yeah, separate. Yeah, two separate. Yeah, and they took your DNA. Yeah, and then how did it resolve? What do they say to you? It was all over. Was it just two sit downs, one with the cop, one with the FBI?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Was that scary?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You're thinking they're looking at you for possible kidnapping?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And was it just that one time? Yeah. For a few hours or how long?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Was it right after the baby went missing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So I've... A couple other questions. I'm sorry to take up so much of your time, but do you know who Dane Greathouse is?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Is there any reason that you would have called Dane Greathouse on the night the baby went missing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
No, no reason.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
How about Cody Allnut?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Boris Dubinsky, do you know him?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And I'm also wondering now, is there any way, you've been very generous with your time, can we do this with like, can I bring a camera person over here and we can do this properly?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So got to figure out what the approach should be. I'm perfectly happy to just go knock on his door and see what happens. But
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Do you think taking her was planned, or do you think it was a spur-of-the-moment thing? What's your guess?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Because you knew a lot of the players in the neighborhood. To me, it seems too sophisticated to have a baby be sold. Who would be able to just steal a baby on the spur of the moment and then sell it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Like if Deborah killed the baby inadvertently or on purpose. I don't think most people think if she killed the baby, it was on purpose. Maybe she dropped the baby, maybe whatever. If she did that, she got rid of the body in a way that she fooled even the cops. So how could that have happened? Like you knew the neighborhood. Like what was the backyard like? Do you know what?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Describe the area a little bit. No. Around the Irwin's house? I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
But you were, I mean, a neighborhood handyman, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Okay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That night, did you work at the Watson's the night the baby went missing?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You didn't turn on the sprinkler or off the sprinkler?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
say well i'm asking you beyond because you know there are there's the one set of neighbors that say they saw somebody who matches your description they didn't say you with a baby that that night like around midnight do you remember that i heard that there was a witness that
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That's what I thought. Over the years, you know, I've considered everybody. I've considered you. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. To this moment, I don't know. But I definitely wanted to talk to you to get your... You're a lot closer to it than I am, so you got better answers than I do. What were you doing that night?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Yeah. That's a pretty good setup. Yeah. So, okay, so you were not in the neighborhood that night. No. Okay, so if anybody saw somebody looking like you, it wasn't you. No. Is there anyone you think we should talk to, or what can we do to help advance this? Any thoughts?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Can we talk for just one more minute about Cindy Short and that visit she paid you in the jail?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
The lawyer.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
She said she thought at one point you were, like, wrestling with maybe a confession. She didn't say that you confessed him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That's not true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Mm-hmm. Does this case, I don't know, do you pay attention to it, like when it hits the news? What does it bring up for you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I just want to say that the way I would normally do this is I would go, I would ring the doorbell, and I would say, are you John? Hi, I'm Megyn Kelly, and I'm trying to investigate what happened to this poor missing baby. You know, a lot of allegations have been made about you. Will you talk to me? I'd love to give you the chance to answer some of the things that have been said about you.
The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Let me ask you this. How do you want, like, what do you want my viewers, my audience to know about you in this case and the things that are being said about you?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026

Oh, my god. Start with the tongue, Bill Stanton. That's what I recommend. Start there. He's got it. Delicious. Okay. It's so good to have you guys here in this setting. I've been looking forward to this from the moment we walked off property there, Bill. And just so the audience knows, I have not spoken with Phil or Bill at all about this since the day of. I haven't spoken to Phil at all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So I have no idea what he thought of the whole exchange. And yet we spent so much time preparing for it. So this is exciting. Bill, we walked out of there, we got into the van and really could not believe it. Like, I think you and I were both like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, you know? And then I asked him if he would sit down with our cameras. He said no.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And then, Phil, you're the human lie detector. What did you think?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I'm thrilled to hear you say deception detected because that's what I thought. I walked out of there and I was like, I've got more doubts about this guy than ever. But our whole team did not feel that way. And I just thought there were my own doubts. baby Phil lie detector abilities, right, just because I've followed you for so long, were going off like crazy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I thought there were many indications of deception. He had too many explanations. And I remember asking you about Megan Wright, what would a truth teller sound like? And you said, I can't tell you that exactly, but there would have been a whole lot more. I didn't do it. You know, I didn't do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So let's play the first exchange that we had with Jersey, where he brings up the death penalty, which, you know, Bill and I were both like, whoa, what, huh? Let's watch that. I was wondering if you would talk to me.

Well, we did accurately predict that his first instinct would be to say, the lawyers aren't going to let me talk, you know, didn't foresee the death penalty line, but he did try that. And thankfully, thanks to your guidance, Phil, we shut it down, got him off of that sticky place. And then I launched with the first Phil Houston question.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And wondering if you can tell us what your involvement was in the disappearance of baby Lisa.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Oh, okay. I got it. So whenever you say the truthful person would have said it this way, that helps because you do think about yourself wrongfully accused of being involved in something as awful as this. What involvement did you have? Yeah, you'd say none.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
But then he seemed, Bill, to be trying to say they would have found my DNA. If I'd been involved, they would have found that DNA because I was like, what? Right? I thought he was saying the same thing. Then he seemed to try to clarify, if I were guilty, the evidence of me having been there would have been all over the place.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
OK, but but back to Phil's point, I think, Phil, I mean, I don't I don't want to put the words in your mouth, but I feel like what you usually say in this circumstance, Phil, is the truthful person doesn't engage in convincing behavior. They don't need to say they would have found my DNA. They would have found my fingerprints. They're just kind of like, I didn't do it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I don't have to convince Megyn Kelly otherwise.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Why? Why was he up on the ladder? Because the audience, the viewing audience will see the listening audience needs to be told he didn't need to be up there. His work, of course, was paused while he was talking to me and to Bill, and he easily could have stepped down and come over to us or been face to face. So what did you make of his his choice to stay elevated and on the ladder?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So can you describe that, Phil? So how would that look in your scenario?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
The latter is not only elevating him, but it's a barrier between him and me. There is that sort of defensive barrier. thing of it's in front of me. I've got my arms around it. I'm safer behind this ladder. And we'll definitely get into why did he talk? Because that was our big debate before Bill and I went, is he going to? But I've got to get to the phones before we do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So that was the one thing we discussed beforehand. If he would admit to us what he told Cindy Short, that he found allegedly the three phones on the night baby Lisa went missing, that would be a tantamount to an admission. Well, here's how that went in part. Now, did you have those phones? Those...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
One of the things he did there, Phil, which you've called attention to in the past, it can be part of a cluster of deception, is hands above the midline. He started to move his hands up like, oh, she did this, she did this. And you've told me in the past, and I know from your book, Spy the Lie, which everyone should read,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
When you're lying, the nervous energy has to shoot out of you somehow, whether it's your leg crossed and foot clicking, or you start to rock, but hands above the midline, touching your nose, touching your head, moving around, can be part of a deception cluster. So what did you make of the phone's answer?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I was surprised that immediately he knew who Cindy Short was and he knew about the phone conversation. He didn't stutter like, what, huh? Oh, that was nonsense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
He figured out to say he has the phones suggests he had the baby. And he knew he didn't want us going there. But but this like Phil, this was the most obvious lie, I would say, even to the casual observer without the Phil Houston training, because why would a guy sitting in jail talking to a lawyer make up a lie about having phones when he didn't have phones, quote, to make her happy?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That was his weakest part because there were other moments where I thought, okay, you know what? He's doing better here. And one of those moments was when he tried to say he and Megan Wright broke up and he never saw her. And I said, you didn't stalk her at all or however I phrased it. You know, you didn't show up at her house. And he owned that one right away.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I pulled up on the front lawn in a stolen van one time, but I didn't talk to her. So what was your reaction to that, Phil? Because he could have said, no, I never did. But he kind of owned her story of driving the truck onto her property and scaring her a little.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I'll tell you what, Doug Brunt, my husband, he watched this whole thing and he had one big takeaway having watched Jersey. He said, you know who he reminds me of? He said he reminds me of this guy exactly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Frank Pantangeli from The Godfather when he testified before Congress on whether Michael Corleone was in fact the godfather and a member of the crime family and he had now had a change of heart before the... Here, here it is. Watch. Tell me if this looks like Jersey.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
It's amazing. Okay, so what's your takeaway now, having watched it, Phil? When it wrapped up, having watched the 25 minutes, what did you walk away saying? There are signs of deception and...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So why did he talk to me, Phil? We, that was our big debate. That's why Bill had to eat his shoe. because he said he's not going to talk. And you said he'll talk. It happens. And sure enough, he did talk. And the audience knows because they went through this with us, but he hasn't talked in all this time. As you know, I always go by my own daughter. She's about to turn 13.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That whole time, he's kept quiet. He's never made a public statement. He's never even been caught on camera in any meaningful way. So why did he talk?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
That's a good point. It was kind of ironic that he ended the exchange with honesty is the best policy. Honesty is the best policy, like touting his own honesty, which is another tell, Phil, is it not?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And then he followed it up with, this thing has been effing my head up, but I'm not guilty of anything. What did you make of that statement?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
What did you make of Phil when he said, I said, why would somebody, do you think it happened spur of the moment? Do you think it was planned out? And he didn't bite there at all. He's like, I don't know. And then I rounded back again and he said, I don't know. And then he's like, you already asked me this. You know, he, he did, he was pretty firm on that one. Like, I don't know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And stop asking me that. That I thought was a point in his favor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Why would your fingerprints be on those phones?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Yeah, with confidence, right? He challenged whether his fingerprints were on the phone. And the other thing he challenged with confidence was this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You see? Well, I'm asking you beyond because, you know, there's the one set of neighbors that say they saw somebody who matches your description, they didn't say you, with a baby that night, like around midnight.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So, you know, this is a tried and true technique of Phil's. We've actually seen no evidence that Tanko's fingerprints are on any cell phones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Oh. I failed to see the forest through the trees on that one. Oh, again. So that's the Phil Houston twist. The truth teller would have said, I wasn't there. So she definitely did not see me.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So having watched Megan Wright and John Tanko talk about their relationship and their time together, what takeaways?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Interesting. She wasn't sounding that way about him. However, like, I don't know what he's capable of. It was more her line.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You're so interesting, Phil. Fascinating talking to you. Okay, now we're going to bring in Jim Spellman. Very excited to have Jim Spellman with us, a reporter of CNN at the time this story broke, now independent. And Jim, you've been watching this whole thing. You've been watching the series. You've been working with us on this. What did you make of this exchange with John Tanko?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Well said. I couldn't agree with what you just said more. And that's really our goal is to have somebody just take a fresh look at the case, fresh eyes, new eyes, take a look at the case. He told us for the first time there that he had not been cleared by law enforcement. That was an interesting admission. I think he didn't know that I believed he had been cleared.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Otherwise, maybe he would have just gone with that. But it's because I asked it in an open-ended way, like, were you cleared? And he said, no, no one ever told me that. I thought that was very interesting.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Why else, Jim, would there be a 10-year gap between the last time the Kansas City police called Jeremy or Deborah and today?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And you know what's really chilling is here we are all these years later, they've never found remains of any kind.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And if this were a murder, an intentional murder, an accidental death, let's face it, whoever did it of the characters we're talking about, you wouldn't think that these are sophisticated criminals who actually managed to avoid the police detection and then got rid of the body in a way that very few criminals are able to or never got dug up by a dog, never came up
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
if it had been put in the water, you know, like we saw with Lacey Peterson, like this is the one criminal who managed in just that short window of time to conduct the perfect crime. No DNA, no fingerprints, no proof of any kind, disposed of the body in the way that it never came back. So there is a real possibility if you look at that, that she wasn't killed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
We haven't really talked about it that much, but that she really wasn't killed and that she was either sold or given to somebody or showed up on the doorstep of a firehouse in some other town, that would make some more sense given the absence of a body.
The Megyn Kelly Show

I feel like we're formulating a plan where I kind of like, I like what Phil is saying. Like, well, we show up, we just, we're kind of open about it. We don't pop out with cameras. It's clearly you and me, Bill, walking to the door. You're close, but I'm like in the lead. And we ask to speak with him following, you know, loosely Phil's script. Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Now, what about Phil right at the top when I ask my first question and he gives me the line that my lawyer told me not to talk about this. I'm not talking about this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
So if he's talking in any way, in a confrontational way, in a confessional way, in a friendly way, I'm going to be wrestling with saying, would you mind if I bring my cameras in and we can have the same conversation? Because I think that will shut it down. Now, I'd much rather have his agreement to doing it on camera.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
I understand why we have to do it with the undercover camera, and I think it's a good idea. But it would be so much nicer if we could just have his agreement to do it like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
You'll know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Well, I mean, he's gone 12 years without getting caught on camera at all. It's amazing how he's managed to dodge. So I have zero expectation he's going to say, yes, I'll sit down in front of your camera. Yeah. But there'll be a point if he's talking to me where I'm going to at least try.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
Wow. Well, if we manage to emerge with actually any sort of meaningful comment, nevermind confession, but meaningful comment from him on this, I mean, that'll be huge. Like I say, nobody's even seen the guy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026

No. No, because we don't want to use subterfuge, right? Like, I don't want to put him on the defensive right away, like, per Phil. I think we want to say, like, I think I want to go over there and say, hey, let's go to the fence and let's do it.

He's not everybody's, but he is very important to Trump's success and has been, in my opinion. I want to say this.

I mean, that's huge to have 60% of the country agreeing on an issue like that. So that's why Tom Homan is saying they're all going. Now, realistically, are they all going? No, because it's impossible. We're having a difficult time even finding the ones who have committed felonies on top of being here unlawfully.

It's just, that's why it was so egregious for Biden to allow them in in the first place. We're just never going to get all these people, even Homan's out this week saying, look, we've gotten a bunch of them, but it's not going as quickly as I'd like it to. And it's very frustrating for all of us. Here's one other thing. Let me ask you about this one, Shamath.

Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
I love the guys over at National Review, and they sometimes offer a sober reality to, you know, the joy that I hear more in the MAGA circles. You know, these are conservative Republicans who are not, they're not anti-Trump, but they're not like super pro-Trumpy. They had a great discussion on their editor's podcast this week about what's actually going to happen to the budget, right?

Trump's going to make these cutbacks, even if Elon's allowed to go wild, which as you know, they're filing lawsuits every day to try to stop the cuts that he and Trump are doing. But let's just say they withdraw all the lawfare and all the cuts go forward, USAID, Department of Education, and on. Their point was, we're still going to run a deficit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
The budget's still going to go up this year versus where it was last year. It just won't be up as much as it otherwise would have been. We're not going to touch entitlement spending. And I got to be honest, you listen and you're like, to Jason's point, slowly and then all of a sudden, we're still going to be on that course.

And then he was gracious enough to have me at the All In Summit along with Chamath and, of course, David Sachs, who was the other person in that, if you're watching on YouTube, you'll see who's part of that show as well. And now he's working for the Trump administration. David is.

He's not only trying to find cuts, but he's having some fun with tariffs too, which could be another source of income. I mean, Trump announcing yesterday, no one's tariffing us without us tariffing them. I'm using it as a verb, right? Like you slap 10% tariffs on any goods you sell in the United States, 100% guaranteed. That's what you'll get on your goods coming in here.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
And that just makes sense to me. I mean, like that, I think as a matter of fairness, most people are like, yeah. And even Trump admitted yesterday, there may be some short-term pain. He said there may not be. They're actually, but he's like, trust me, long-term, this is going to work out well for us. How do you guys view the tariff threat and action?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
But in any event, those guys all had me out to the All In Summit last September, which was really fun and enlightening. The guests were amazing. I really enjoyed myself. And Jason got a lot of guff for the exchange I'm about to show you, but I saw it very differently. I did not think he deserved all the guff he got because he... He knew I was a lawyer.

We have Trump is he wants to make the Trump tax cuts permanent, which I think most Americans will support. Even Joe Biden was saying he would keep the Trump tax cuts in place for those making under four hundred thousand dollars a year. But he wanted to revoke them for those making over, which honestly is just silly because those are the business owners.

Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
Those are the employers who, you know, I'm an employer. I'm a small business owner. If you tax me more, I'm probably going to get rid of somebody. I'm not just going to pay it to the federal government. Somebody's probably going to go. So that's how it works. But so he's going to make the tax cuts permanent. He's also wanting other tax cuts, as you guys know, no taxes on tips.

And, you know, I had a conversation with Senate Majority Leader John Thune earlier this week. I think that's a priority for them to get that no taxes on tips thing. And don't forget on the Trump tax cuts, Trump is calling for a return to the SALT deduction that those of us have in, you

which they didn't give us the first time when they cut the taxes because they were like, you're not going to get that too. That's too big a tax cut for you. But then the truth is my taxes went up. My accountant was like, you're actually doing better without these tax cuts, but it's fine. Anyway, my point is there's...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
It sounds good to say tax cuts, and I like it too, but there's a question about whether we can afford all these tax cuts. And no one, no one will talk about Medicare or Social Security, Jason, especially Trump. He's not dumb politically. He knows that's toxic. That's like, let me play in this nuclear waste dump. So fun.

He knew that I knew what I was talking about. I think he was being a generous host. I think he was trying to let me show some of my knowledge on this case. And people were like, he's an idiot.

This is why on this on this front, this is not exactly the same thing, but it's consistent with the new approach that this administration is taking. We have, of course, a new defense secretary and it's not a big deal, but he is every morning out there working out with troops. When he was back stateside, he was doing it. Now he's over in Poland.

Before I give you the floor on it, Shamath, here's the thing about Elon. He could have gotten the deregulation that he wants for his industries just by all the donations and the blood, sweat, and treasure he gave to Trump prior to November 5th. Trump owed him enough that he would have probably tried to help Elon roll back some of the red tape he once rolled back.

And then he made some other news, which I want to get to with you, but I just want to make one point on the drones. these things can be very threatening potentially used by us and potentially used against us. And there was a report out earlier this week on how, um, the Iranian threat against Trump's life was more serious than we knew.

But you guys may remember Jason Calacanis of the All In podcast and I have a kind of special relationship. It goes all the way back to his first and only appearance on our show. It was about almost what, three years ago, June of 2022, episode 337, when I ended up calling him a prick. That's not nice. But our relationship has really evolved. I actually really like him. And we...

And, um, it was to the point where they were deploying decoy Trump planes when not air force one, but Trump force one, as they used to call his private plane when he was campaigning to where like, they just have staff on the one plane. And some of these staff would later say like, Whoa! We were on the decoy plane trying to say, hey, Iran, Trump's here, when he wasn't really there. Uncool.

But they were reporting that. Forgive me, I'm trying to remember who broke this. It was a very good report. But it was talking about... It was Axios. Okay, and it was talking about how at one point... there was a drone hovering over Trump's vehicle as he was traveling and the security secret service opened up the sunroof and shot it, shot it down right then and there.

My impression is, and we're going to ask him in two seconds, that Jason has gone full-on MAGA. I mean, he is ready to move in with Steve Bannon. They seem very tight. No, he just seems very pro-Trump. And it's been an evolution.

It's so funny. All I can think of is my husband's book, The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel, which is about the Elon Musk of the early 20th century, Rudolf Diesel, who was German-born, spent his childhood in France, and was this genius who designed the diesel engine. It was his engine, and diesel should be spelled with a capital D to this day.

When you go to the gas station, it's diesel, capital D, fuel for a diesel engine after this guy. But he was a peacenik. He was definitely a peacenik and did not want this engine to be used in war machines. His idea, his goal was for it to be used on small farms who could put just vegetable oil in it, and it can run off vegetable oil.

Willie Nelson powered his diesel-powered, I don't know, van or camper with corn oil. And that's really what diesel thought it would be, but it wound up becoming so important to war vehicles, to war boats in particular, both in England and in Germany and then around the world. And there's really not a massive boat on the water that's not powered by diesel now.

Fox news had acquired, has acquired the company called red seat ventures, which sells our ads. They sell the ads for the Megan Kelly show, uh, red seat corporation. And Fox acquired this company because they sell ads, not just for the Megan Kelly show, but for the Tucker Carlson show for bill O'Reilly show for now Pierce Morgan, who's, um, you know, got a YouTube show and so on. And
The Megyn Kelly Show
Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
And that's one of the challenges when you get into the space as an independent, you kind of have to partner with some sort of somebody who's got relationships with the ad companies. It's very, very difficult to do it yourself. You can't just start calling up Jenny sell and saying, Hey, will you, will you advertise on the MK show?

Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
So red seat and this guy who runs it named Chris Balfe, they've been great partners to us. And I love Chris and he's been absolutely wonderful and his whole team to work with. So they help us out. They sell our ads. He's been an advisor to me in my professional life as well.

Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
So the media decides to take this story and announce, or at least spin it, such that I have been acquired by Fox News, that the Megyn Kelly show is now owned by Fox, that the Tucker Carlson show is now owned by Fox. They spun it as... We're going home. There was one article from Reuters.

The deal brings O'Reilly, Kelly, and Carlson back into the Murdoch fold through Red Seat Ventures, though Red Seat Ventures will operate independently within Fox's 2B Media Group. No, it doesn't. It does not bring any of us back into the Murdoch fold. Nothing against the Murdochs, nothing against Fox. Very happy for Chris and Red Seat and for Fox.

But this has almost nothing to do with us other than, I guess, Fox and Tubi are now eventually going to, well, they own the company or most of it. that's selling our ads, that's it. But it was so annoying, you guys, because I know you've worked for every ounce of that success and for every notch you've moved up on the podcast ranking. And maybe it would have been helpful.

I never offered it and I never wanted it, but probably would have been helpful to have the backing of a company like Vox News pushing me, but I didn't have it and you didn't have it.

Yeah. It was annoying to see this spun everywhere as some sort of an acquisition or a sellout by yours truly or Tucker, who I'm sure would never be selling to Fox. Um, but it makes Fox look good to make it look like they acquired us, which we, they didn't and whatever. So it was kind of annoying.

That makes a lot of sense. I mean, it's been interesting the past couple of years when Facebook de-emphasized news, you know, it used to be such an important platform for people who are in news really kind of before we all came into this space. It was very important. Like for Ben, I know when he was building his show, it was extremely important to Facebook.

And then they just decided in the wake of all their woke-ism and their annoying politics that they were going to stop platforming news. And people kind of lost their news feed. A lot of people who use Facebook for news lost their news feed. And for us, we just started using Facebook to promote our more cultural content. We do a lot of cultural segments on this show.

I think we have a lot of good news. I mean, as good as we could ask for when it comes to wrapping up that conflict, because it's got to end at this point.

That's a good transition. Smart people saying smart things to J.D. Vance back in Munich. Oh, yeah. With a truth bomb in front of the Europeans who were reportedly just stunned in their seats, uncomfortable shuffling when it comes to free speech, which is I mean, Europe has just been absolutely abysmal on and immigration. Yeah. which take what I said about free speech times 10.

Wait, wait, before I get to you, Chamath, who is a loser in Trump 2.1? One point or two point one in one point. Oh, sorry.

Elon was battling this when it comes to free speech and X in Europe. And the free speech battle, I mean, it's a reminder of why we left Europe. England. Why we, as Americans said, you know, the most important thing to us, amendment number one is free speech and they don't have it anymore. It's all but dead in Europe. There was a great tablet magazine piece. I actually just pulled it in advance of.

today. And it's written by a guy named Paul de Quenoy. And he goes on about what just happened in Germany with this compact magazine and how there's a rule in Germany. There's a law that says that they can shut you down. They can shut your speech down if they think that it is inconsistent with their constitutional order, the constitutional order of their country. And

And so they went in, they think this is a, quote, far right magazine because it supports this ADL party, sorry, AFD party that is very anti-illegal immigration. And they went in, they seized, they have like 40,000 subscribers. They seized the offices. They basically took over control of the whole thing and shut it down from publishing.

The thought of that happening in the United States, I mean, it's... There would be a full revolt, I'd like to think. So he's speaking to the right audience there. They do need to hear it. And I'll just give you one more soundbite before I give it back to you. You mentioned their insane green energy commitment at the expense of their own people. J.D.

I think they're starting to feel it, though, in the same way we reached our boiling point and reelected Trump. You know, the woman, J.D. mentioned a different man who was arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic. I remember this video. It's a woman. Her name was Isabel Vaughn Spruce. She was silently praying, guys, in her head. She's sitting there silently praying.

They come over and say, what are you praying in your head? What are you doing? She's like, I'm silently praying in my head outside of an abortion clinic. You have to go. They arrested her. That's what it's come to across the pond in, you know, a distant relative now of the United States.

Power of Trump 2.0, Why Elon and DOGE are Working, and Independent Media's Impact, with Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya of All-In | Ep. 1008
I don't think we can really even understand this, although we're getting a little dangerously close in incident after incident in throwing the book at people who are praying outside of abortion clinics here to the point where Trump had to pardon some of them. You know, it's not nearly as bad as it is overseas, but I think you're right.

I'll just give you a little memory lane before we bring him on along with his co-host Chamath, because you may remember this funny exchange. It got a lot of attention.

You're too scared to hear the words. I agree with you on Conway and Kanye. I think he's, or yay. He's now in the middle of another mental health episode. I think that's what this bizarre latest behavior is. It is sad. I I've said along, I don't understand. People should stop platforming him like this.

Kim Kardashian says he's bipolar and she was married to him for, what, 10 years? Like, I take her at a word on that. And I know he's denied it. I should say that. But it does seem he goes through these bouts of very bizarre behavior that don't necessarily match up with how he is the rest of the time. I mean, maybe it is just him.

I just if there's any doubt about the mental wellness of the person, I wouldn't put him on. I just I would be too worried about exploiting a weak moment, you know, like a low moment for the person mentally. In the same way that you can't, I don't know if you guys have ever had somebody that you know, a friend or family who's actually dealing with mental illness. You can't get through to them.

There's another podcast with the very annoying Kara Swisher and her partner, Scott Galloway. I know. That decided it would be a great idea to arrest the Doge workers under Elon. I mean, Scott Galloway openly called for them to be arrested.

And Elon responded on X saying, Swisher and Galloway are threatening talented young software engineers who gave up high compensation for death threats in order to help the American people. Shame on them, Swisher and Galloway. Cruel, mean, and deceitful human beings that they are. Then those two went back on their podcast and said the following in Sat 10.

Yeah, and that has majority support amongst the American people. I mean, I'll say this, Stephen Miller has been so demonized by the left, and he is absolutely brilliant. The last thing you can get away with is calling that guy a loser. He's helped get Trump elected twice, and he's behind not just the immigration policy, but he was in part behind the brilliant EO on gender and biological sex.

What I'm trying to dispute is the attempt to now say we've got to get guns because of all the mass shootings. The mass shootings are what justify our newfound push on, quote, gun control. And what it is to me is a dodge on the rising crime rates, which have been a drag on the Democratic ticket and are going to take them down come the midterm elections in October. It's gaslighting.

He was a very talented lawyer who went to Harvard and University of Michigan at law school and worked in the Reagan administration. She's being careful with her words. She says, while I support Pete through this process, what I think he deserves is a hearing. That's just a buying time phrase. That's not a promise of support. What I am hearing, Hugh, is that she doesn't like him.

Yeah, I mean, I spent a lot of time with Pete Hegseth, and all I ever saw was a professional, smart, earnest, great guy who cared deeply about the military. It's all he wanted to talk about, ever.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I mean, even when you're making casual conversation, that's what he wanted to talk about, the military, and what he could do to address their concerns and how their needs weren't being met, truly, even in casual conversation. And I've said this to my audience before, we did have conversations many times at Fox News about who...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
whose drinking was getting out of control or who was potentially taking drugs. And some we knew were, and those people were definitely on the radar. We all knew he was never one of the names. Pete was on the radar for loving the military and veterans. And yes, for being a little Randy, I guess we can say when it came to the women, whatever that's between him and his wife.

And one posted on Instagram in support of him as well. So, I mean, he's good there. I wanted to pick up on what you said about the political reporter, Josh Gerstein. So he gives you a hard time. You responded to the ProPublica attempted attack on Pete by saying, this story is and remains that a bureaucrat at West Point misled you and you did not print that. That's not journalism.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Then Politico inserts itself into your spat with ProPublica. Josh Gerstein, the reporter, saying- Hugh, are you really saying we should do a story every time what a government spokesperson tells us turns out not to be right? I mean, it would take up perhaps half of my time. And then you responded. But do you want to walk us through why a response to that? They're saying, look, they checked it out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
It didn't check out. They moved on.

You don't do that. You don't do that where you only have an hour to respond unless there's there's a reason for it. You know, like we've got to get this story. It's breaking. It's big. And national security, whatever. There are reasons why you might have to if it came to you late. You didn't have time to go to the source, whatever. But this is not one of them.

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Some evergreen piece on whether Pete did or did not get into West Point. They were just trying to sandbag the guy. You know, one of the possibilities and you mentioned it. on why they wouldn't even do just a one paragraph or on it is somebody at West Point was the initial source. Somebody, I mean, you think of West Point as being, you know, pro their military, whatever.

in the afternoon. Afternoon, I highly recommend. I don't know if I recommend being in New Jersey between dusk and 11 p.m. And by the way, now it's not just New Jersey. Reports today that these things, we'll call them drones because we don't know, but for lack of a better word, have now been seen in New York and over LaGuardia or near LaGuardia and down in Maryland.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
That doesn't mean they're pro Pete or pro Trump. And if somebody at West Point, you know, if the, if the call was incoming to pro publica and, and, you know, in an attempted smear that they were about to print and didn't because Pete had the records that West Point claimed it didn't have, that'd be a reason why you wouldn't say it.

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Yeah, right. Exactly right. All right. So now there are, we took covered activists, journalists, but we did not yet cover the sad, sad journalists down near, but not in Mar-a-Lago. There's a piece today, yesterday in New York magazine. The headline is the press is down and shut out in Palm beach. Steve Chung is not sympathetic.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Steve Chung, of course, Trump's long term spokesperson, who's now his director of comms incoming at the White House. OK, so they start by saying the quoting. Good morning from West Palm Beach. I'm your transition pooler today.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
This is The New York Times is Michael Scherer, who wrote this on December 9th to a group of fellow reporters who have teamed up to take turns covering the post-election news out of Mar-a-Lago. but he doesn't have much to report. The reason is, he writes, I've reached out to the transition about today's schedule and have not heard back.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Scheer was part of an unofficial press pool set up by the White House Correspondents Association to cover, you know, Trump's team down there. But the press is being kept at a safe distance. They point out this is very unlike 2016 when Trump let the press stand at the base of Trump Tower and interview all these candidates who are coming in to kiss the ring on their way in and way out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
But this time, no, he's not really interested in it. And Steve Chung has said, hey, I didn't authorize your weird little transition coverage. You didn't ask us. We would have worked with you. You didn't, so pound sand. But they lament in this piece, the incoming press secretary, Caroline Leavitt and Steve Chung, sometimes don't get back to the shutout, frustrated reporters at all, Hugh.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And they go on to say that these folks, okay, notwithstanding the fact that They don't know what's happening. They're not sure what's going on with the White House press room seating chart. And they can't get straight answers on whether they're going to be where they want to be and were. That they are, quote, soldiering on.

Listen to this from the governor of Maryland who just dropped this tweet. Governor Larry Hogan. Last night, beginning around 9.45 p.m., I personally witnessed and videoed what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland, 25 miles from our nation's capital. I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And that they're doing this notwithstanding the fact that hotel rooms on the island of Palm Beach are hard to come by and they are expensive. So most journalists are exiled. About a half an hour's drive in...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Yeah, right. So here's the end of the piece. It's my favorite part. Not only have they been banished to West Palm. Oh, God. It's like being bumped from the double wide to the single in the trailers. They say with the West Palm Hilton now officially sold out, some reporters have been forced to retreat to the court. Courtyard by Marriott out by the airport, Hugh Hewitt.

You're the lowest of the low. And that's how you're supposed to live. And it's one of the very healthy ways we make you generally hate authority. It's just in this country, you're supposed to hate authority, whether they're red or blue. And you people don't.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I would call back. I would call back and I would say, now I've seen a record proving that you misled me. So what is your explanation for misleading me? And I'd love to hear what they say. And depending on what they said, I'd go from there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
But I would definitely be very interested in the fact that I'd been misled by West Point, which absolutely knows whether Pete Hexeth applied and not only applied, but got in. You're going to tell me that record keeping is that bad? Pete's, what, 44? He was in college 25 years ago. I'm trying to do the math there. It's not that long.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And West Point of all places would have pretty meticulous records.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Like many who have observed these drones, I do not know if this increasing activity over our skies is a threat to public safety or national security. But the public's growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with a complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the feds. The government has the ability to track these...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Yeah. Well, here's like, I wonder because the other piece of it is when it comes to West Point, there could be national security implications. I would imagine the records there, they would keep them better than your average university would because who's trying to get in and why? Whose kid is trying to get in and why?

I would imagine those records are considered rather important by like the Pentagon because And so I do wonder whether they are as capable of hapless error. Probably they are, probably, as Princeton or where I went, Syracuse. Maybe not. Anyway, uh, maybe somebody will get to the bottom of it. Okay.

While we're on the subject of journalism, something interesting happened over at CNN and it's turned into a controversy and I'd love to get your thoughts on it. Clarissa Ward is considered a star reporter over at CNN. She's been there many years. She was at Fox for a short time. And, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
She is doing reporting on Syria and what's happened in the wake of Bashar al-Assad being chased out of the country to Russia and this new Islamist group taking over, you know, like the kinder, gentler al-Qaeda. And she was patrolling through the streets as in her reportorial role and
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And says that she came upon a Bashar al-Assad prison facility with one of these new, you know, quote unquote, reformed al-Qaeda types with her and that they went into this prison cell and, oh, no. there's a prisoner who is being held by Bashar al-Assad. And here's my interview with him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
We got him out, we gave him some water and he had a bite of food and we stuck a mic in his face and this is extraordinary. And now in the wake of this interview, which got all sorts of plaudits all over the internet, people, oh my God, she's amazing, what she did, blah, blah, blah. Now some people are raising questions about whether She was misled.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I think that's the most charitable thing I've seen on there. Some have suggested she may have been part of the misleading. I doubt that. But I don't know. I don't know what's happening here. And I'm not even sure there is a story, but I'm going to bring it to you because it's getting some steam.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I'll show you. The Mediaite was one of the places that did a rather lengthy piece. They watch our business and reporters and raise questions about reports like this. There's a guy named Charlie Nash who raised some questions about the piece, and I'm going to show it to you.

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
from their point of origin, but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren't getting any. We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they're coming from, or who has launched or is controlling them, and that they pose no threat. That response is entirely unacceptable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And then there's a filmmaker named Hassan Akkad who has been detained twice in Syria, and he has got some doubts about this video. All right, let me show you the first clip. This is part one. When they find this guy, under a blanket. It's high drama. You can see Clarissa's a little dramatic herself and I will say seems to insert herself into the story. Watch this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Okay, so here's what people are pointing out. He's pretty clean for a guy who's been in a prison cell for how many months? Three plus months. Three months. Three months without food or water for four days. What we see on that video is no waste whatsoever. at all in the prison cell and no- No facilities.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Right. And we see a man who's still under the blanket, even though he's just heard somebody shot shoot off the alleged lock on his cell. Still under there. OK, maybe he's hiding. We see Clarissa Ward, who speaks, according to her, Arabic, only speaking in English in Syria. OK, don't know why that happened. And this guy, Hassan Akkad, says, says the following, I was detained twice in Syria.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I think this is staged. CNN should investigate. Happy to be proven wrong. Individuals are never locked in communal cells. Cells look too clean. No discarded clothes, bags of bread, bottles of water, other blankets. And he has too much energy for someone who had no water for five days. This is what the cells in Syrian prisons typically look like, Hugh. We pulled this from one that was farther north.

I join with a growing bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that the feds immediately address this issue. The American people deserve answers and action now. This is crazy. We were told yesterday yesterday by John Kirby at the White House. Nothing to see here. We can't even confirm that there really have been drones.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I mean, you can barely see the ground. There's so much debris and trash. I don't know. But here's what I believe. I doubt Clarissa Ward, who's a respected reporter, would stage this whole thing. But I do think there's a possibility she and the other media celebrating this moment are not being skeptical enough about it being staged for her.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Here's the second clip where they're now outside of the prison and she's interviewing him, which, you know, I think like some people like I don't get it. Why? Why aren't you getting him to a hospital? But journalists are often heartless like that. That's she's not alone in that approach. Most of us would you know, we want the story and then he can go to prison. But here are the hospital.

And folks pointing out online, how clean the man looks, the jacket, the pants, the fingernails, like it's just, and does he have the right energy level for somebody who hasn't had food or water in almost five days? Um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I don't know, but I think that there should be an investigation by CNN just to make sure they have not been used by an organization trying to look like heroes, notwithstanding their own controversial behaviors.

No. And there's one other weird thing, potentially, it depends on your opinion, where in her exchange with Jake Tapper, who was asking her about this, she offers one additional detail. Take a listen to Sot 8.

You wouldn't want to call your family first thing out of captivity after three, four months. And you you're so shocked you can't make. OK, it's possible. Right. But these all these are just like that's what led to the media piece.

But it works for them to look like they are the kinder, gentler, that they, oh my God, Bashar al-Assad is even worse than you knew. This poor man, he's been under there. And we're talking about it, that it went everywhere. It went everywhere. So much coverage about how, you know, what an evil man this Bashar al-Assad is and how the new captors, well, not captors, but the new-

I mean, you'd have to kick those tires as a journalist, you know, again, being used. That's the biggest thing you have to worry about in this kind of situation is being used, being turned into journalistic propaganda. And perhaps Clarissa Ward saw that coming from a mile away and made sure that that wasn't happening. But I would like to hear more.

I don't, I'm not sure right now based on what I've seen. Okay. The controversy over the, The CEO murder, the United CEO, Brian Thompson, continues with people. Sorry, Brian Thompson, where people are continuing to try to justify this. We have been meaning to get to some of these stories, but we didn't quite get there. AOC weighs in.

And moreover, in the guy's alleged manifesto, he says, oh, they're probably people better qualified than I am to explain exactly what they're doing that's so bad. He doesn't sound like somebody who had lived this firsthand and had a personal great. Not that that would justify any of this.

But to your point, we don't know what this is about and what the evidence seems to be suggesting is you had a once perfectly normal young adult one minute and within the past three to six months. a switch flipped, which is totally consistent with some sort of psychotic break, whether induced by a schizophrenic problem or by, you know, drugs that he was taking.

So joining me now is a prominent and outspoken cardiologist and creator of the documentary First Do No Pharm, Dr. Asim Malhotra. Dr. Malhotra's documentary sheds light on the pervasive influence of big pharma on healthcare, the truth about cholesterol and statins, and much, much more. Dr. Asim, welcome to the show.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
I thought the documentary was fascinating and disturbing. I remember, and I think this is one of the things you guys, that led you to make this documentary, a few years ago, the line on statins had become, the question in today's day and age is not so much why are you on a statin, but why aren't you on a statin? That they were being recommended for
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
perfectly healthy people over age 50 who might get heart disease or clogged arteries at some point as almost like a preventative measure. And while the whole film is definitely not just about statins, that's where it starts. And it's very interesting. So let me kick it off by playing this soundbite of, um, a guy who was your patient, right? Tony Royal, um, who did take a statin.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
He was in a position of having had a heart attack, so his case was more severe. But the question of why not take one was experienced by him. The answer, I should say, firsthand. Here's Tony, slot 30.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
So, Dr. Asim, let's start there with statins and this problem overall.

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Yes. I don't get this. There's nothing to see their response by the feds. It makes me think it is the feds. But if it is the feds, why wouldn't they pause now that it's become such a controversy? They're still doing it. So I don't know what's going on, but it's very strange how certain the feds seem to be saying they are that it's nothing.

Whereas honesty sounds more like what Larry Hogan said, you know, what these New Jersey lawmakers are saying, like, we don't know what this is and we need to know. Here's the headline from NBC yesterday. Now, key House and Senate lawmakers are demanding that top federal law enforcement officials immediately brief them on these mysterious drone sightings.

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
How would you see... So I think the way a lot of people see heart disease is you go to your cardiologist and maybe they give you an echocardiogram stress test combo where they can see your heart and how it handles stress. And they'll see whether you have a thickening of the walls of your arteries.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
That's the gold standard test, I think, other than getting that, I guess, calcium score read with injectable dye, which is more invasive. But... So if you see fatty buildup on the walls of your arteries, then you have a mystery to solve, right? And today, I think the doctor would say, if you had it, don't eat so much red meat. Don't eat fried food. Exercise more, right?

I want to get to the causes of why we've been so misled for sure. That's basically what first do no farm is about. And it's shocking. Our FKJ is in there. Our audience will recognize a lot of the faces. Callie means is in there. Dr. J about a char is in there. Great, great film. In fact, before we go any further, how can they see it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
He said upon reviewing images of the sightings, law enforcement officials have concluded, quote, these are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully and said there have been no confirmed drone sightings in restricted airspace.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Because I was sent to me as a screener, but how can our audience see it?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Okay, good. So let's, let's remember that, uh, to, to see it. But before we get to that, you mentioned in passing just their Mediterranean diet, what all you added a couple of phrases on there. Can you talk about eating?

One question I have for you is, let's say I have listeners out there and viewers who are 60 years old and they're like, I'm constantly inflamed. I've lived 60 years of inflamed. I've eaten all the processed foods, but I'm inspired. Now I'm going to start tomorrow with a Mediterranean diet that's low-carb. can they undo 60 years of damage? Or is it like kind of a fait accompli at this point?

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
That's great. Just to give people a place to get started as we go into the holidays. It's a good place to kick it off. All right, so let's talk about causation. Because when you first came out, you mentioned you caused quite a stir. But the industry wanted to cancel you at almost every turn. And you published a paper in the BMI. What was it called? The BMJ?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Yep. And they tried to get your paper pulled. Yes. your film has an interview with a woman who was running it at the time who didn't know whether she was on your side or not, who was open-minded to pulling it if you had misstated facts and misled people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
And she's pretty forthright about how once, you know, they wanted to see data and so on, but they ended up not pulling it and saying to the people who are criticizing you, Why don't you write a rebuttal if you feel differently? And they didn't really want to do that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
So this all kind of gets to, there's an absence of honest data from the people who are telling us things like statins are perfectly safe with a very, very good side effect profile. It's not just the statin drug makers, it's drug makers for the most part.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
who just, they hide information even from the people who are charged with reviewing their drugs and telling the rest of us whether their drugs are safe.

sending a letter to the Homeland Security Secretary, who's also a Democrat, as you know, and the FBI director and the FAA head, all saying to all these guys, we demand a briefing. And some say we could get it as late as or as early as this afternoon, Hugh. This is bizarre. I don't remember seeing anything like this.

They, like anybody who's associated with medicine, forget the magazine world, they're on a different page, wants you to lose weight. Any real doctor is against obesity, which is probably the number one or a huge risk factor for so many diseases, including diabetes, which just doesn't lead anyplace good. And what they have said on this show and elsewhere is, Eat better, move more, right?

Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
Like that's really what we're looking to do and throw out that food pyramid and stop, you know, eating six to 10 grains a day and so on. What we've done over in America and now increasingly in other parts of the world is take Ozempic. And I get the pushback to Ozempic as that's not the answer. You know, eat better and exercise more.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Mysterious "Drones" Spread, Media Malpractice, and How Medical Journals Became Captured, with Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Aseem Malhotra | Ep. 964
But this film, like some other pieces and books and films, has suggested it's worse than that. Like Ozempic actually is in the category of violating the do no harm rule. Like it actually may be more dangerous than it is beneficial. And I want to ask you about that because the whole thing is reducing inflammation and And this drug helps one eat less and therefore potentially reduce inflammation.

It's not pleasant. Yeah. Okay, so back to the problem of the nondisclosure of information and of big pharma controlling the messaging around their drugs. I did not realize that sort of the birth of these so-called scientific magazines involved big pharma, and that was kind of all part of the plan.

I was going to say, we know that big pharma has infiltrated organizations like the FDA, which has a revolving door to big pharma.

Just as a process question here, Doc, I think one of the reasons I'm excited about RFKJ possibly coming in as our HHS chief is I think he's all over these issues.
