Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing George Clooney's new comments claiming he's more of a journalist than she is, how he claims he speaks truth to power but ignored the Biden cognitive decline for weeks, her true history of journalism, and more. Then Rich Lowry and Michael Brendan Dougherty of National Review join to discuss Clooney’s history of condescending and ignorant public comments, how he pretends to be a journalist when he's actually just an out-of-touch elitist, the latest on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the leak firings, how the news cycle has gotten more personal, if more leaks or potential arrests are coming, the new lawfare from judges and even the Supreme Court over Trump’s illegal immigrant deportation plans, the leftist media spin and manipulation over Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Tom Homan getting real about Democratic opposition, Supreme Court hearing arguments about LGBTQ content in public schools, and more.

Chapter 1: What sparked Megyn Kelly's criticism of George Clooney?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Kelly, welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We begin on the subject of George Clooney, who is busy trying to look 30 years younger than he actually is with weirdly dyed jet black hair, trying his hand on Broadway.
He's starring in a play about Edward R. Murrow because Clooney fancies himself a journalist, you see, and has lots of thoughts on how journalists need to do journalism. Like he does it mainly, you know, like stumbling upon the biggest story of the decade that a sitting president is mentally infirm and ought to be 25th Amendmented right out of office and then burying it.
saying absolutely nothing for weeks on end. And then only after that president humiliates himself on the national stage at a presidential debate and then refuses to step down as the entire Democrat Party watches its electoral chances up and down the ticket, go swirling down the toilet, finally decides to write an op-ed in the New York Times saying Joe Biden is not up for the job.
That's not journalism, George. It's cowardice, followed by naked partisanship. You're not fooling anyone. So now he's starring in this Broadway show. By the way, what's the matter, George? Are the Hollywood roles getting a little hard to come by as you age and get decidedly more smug and self-congratulatory? I'm just asking.
And chooses to finish this show by lecturing the audience on how journalism ought to be done. Speaking as Edward R. Murrow, he warns about the ongoing struggle for truth and integrity in the media. Truth and integrity. About the potential for the media to be manipulated and used for propaganda.
Apparently, he ends the whole thing with a video montage featuring, as the show closes, yours truly and Elon Musk doing a, quote, Nazi salute. Okay. Because Elon Musk and I are the dangers George Clooney fears. Not the propaganda that was pushed on us for four years by his favorite leftist so-called journalists. That President Biden was fine, that these were all cheap fakes we were seeing.
Or for the four years before that, that President Trump was a Russian asset. But propaganda that would dare to defend anything done by Donald Trump. That's all propaganda you see. Any defense of Trump is the dangerous propaganda of which he speaks. That's a violation of truth and integrity in media.
By the way, one of Clooney's favorite news anchors, not for nothing, is Chris Wallace, who shut down any discussion of Hunter Biden's ties to Ukraine or China at a presidential debate as entirely irrelevant and off limits. That's his fave.
So our pal Georgie got wind of the fact that this show mocked him for trying to lecture anyone on journalism, especially given the timeline on his own disclosures about Mr. Biden. Refresher, he hosted a fundraiser for Biden on June 15th, in which Mr. Biden could barely walk or talk.

Chapter 2: How has George Clooney's journalism been characterized?
So he and Broadway's biggest and oldest bully, Patti LuPone, remember when she screamed at a ticket-holding audience member for not wearing a mask? Watch.
the people that are sitting around you. You pay your salary for bullshit. Chris Harper pays my salary. Who do you think you are? Just put your mask over your nose.
She's an angry woman, very angry, like so many leftist women. So she and George get together and they start navel gazing on stage about themselves, of course, and their vaunted profession and how bad, how just terrible the media is and had the following exchange.
What we do in this is we talk about the responsibility of journalists to hold truth to power, right? That's our goal. And so if you're doing that, and we don't tell people what to think when we show that montage at the end, for instance. You see Megyn Kelly, she's who's come out and said, you know, I'm not a journalist. I didn't say I was a journalist.
Another sheep, by the way.
You know, but I'm not quite sure what she's done. I've at least been to... you know, Darfur and Sudan and the Congo and been shot at to try to get stories out. And I'm not quite sure what she's done to be a journalist. Having said that, we only show her words in this play. We don't tell people what to think. It's not out of context. We don't manipulate it.
We literally just go, these are your words.
He actually thinks I'm objecting to something he put on his show about me. I have no idea what you put on your show about me. I couldn't care less, sir. I was mocking you for trying to lecture journalists on how to do journalism based on your own failure to speak truth to power. That's what you, you failed. You only did it when you knew your candidate was going to cost you up and down the ballot.
And so Mr. Clooney is not quite sure what yours truly has done to be a journalist, which surprised me not at all. Not at all. Why would he know anything about the journalism career I have had? Absolutely none of my stories held any interest for George Clooney. Of that, I have no doubt.
