Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
It's so good to see you.
Gosh, this is a great crowd. Thank you so much for turning out.
It means so much to me.
And I know this is basically winter weather for you Californians, so it took a lot.
It took a lot to get you out of your houses, I'm sure.
You know, I was just saying to my team backstage, this is the ninth of ten appearances that we're doing.
So the tour is wrapping up.
I'm with you on the second and last night of the tour.
And it has been life-changing for me.
I am so glad that we did this.
I think it would be life-changing just to do what you're doing right now
and sit in the audience and be in a sea of reasonable right-wingers.
I mean, especially in California.
But to be on my end of it and like to be able to get to see all of you, you know, like in a way, the relationship, it's real, but it's kind of one-sided sometimes because you get to see me, but I don't get to see you. You get to hear about my weirdnesses in my life, but I don't get to hear about yours. And I get just a taste of it backstage when they do the VIP meet and greets. But like when we're going to do the Q&A, I'll get to the meet and greet. And when I see you out there, like, now I see your face and I'll think of you when I do the next broadcast. And that's what's been happening for me. And it just makes me happier and better.
and more connected to you. And so I'm really grateful. You could be doing any number of things
tonight. You had to buy it, take it, you had to wait outside, you had to do the magnetometer,
all this stuff. And let's face it, there's always like an element now of, is it safe? And it is safe.
And thank God, thanks to this crack security team, we are safe. So I'm so grateful.
I'm also sorry that you live in the People's Republic of California.
Have to deal with the unfortunate politicians that come with your immensely beautiful state.
And everyone knows California is, if not the most beautiful, at least one of the top three in the country.
That's why you put up with all the nonsense, right?
Yeah.
My own personal plan with my children is to just never let them come here
because we cannot have them living on the West Coast.
We love them too much.
So we just say terrible things about California and hope they believe it.
You know, like, people are weird.
You don't want to go there.
They don't have a change of seasons.
Whatever it takes.
But whenever I come out here, I am reminded of, you know, the reasons to live here.
And it's not the politicians, but it is the people.
One of the things we've noticed, just in our two stops here so far,
is how great the law enforcement has been.
Seriously.
Taking great care of us.
And they, too, are good-looking.
It's amazing.
Do they let ugly people into the state of California?
And I've been thinking about them in the past couple of days
because of this ridiculous stunt that these Democrats,
lawmakers pulled on the warnings that you're not supposed to follow illegal orders, right?
You saw this, right? With the most annoying U.S. Senator we have, and that's saying something,
this Alyssa Slotkin of Michigan, you saw the cross-examination she did of Pete, right?
I know, I know, you've done your genuflection. I know. I believe you care about the troops.
This is how she cross-examined Pete Hexsath, who's been deployed three times.
Okay, sure. He really needs you to pat him on the head.
reaffirm his commitment to the troops.
Who does she think she is?
So now she gets in there
after doing desk jobs in the CIA
and she wants to tell our soldiers
that they can disobey
the orders of our commander-in-chief.
And you knew it, even if you didn't know it,
know it, you knew that this was wrong.
You knew that this was dangerous, right,
for her and these other lawmakers
to try to lecture our troops
and insert themselves
in the relationship between them
and their commander-in-chief.
Like, what are you doing?
Who would even think about messing with that?
But I didn't know it, know it like on a gut level, until I heard my friend Carl Higbee,
who is at Newsmax and served our country honorably as a Navy SEAL.
Don't mess with Carl.
Talk about this on his show.
Take a look at the sound like.
This is the story of how stupid political clickbait videos, like Slotkins, have real consequences.
You remember this guy from the movie American sniper?
This guy right here that was going around drilling holes in children's faces.
In 2009, my platoon caught that guy in real life, the butcher of Fallujah.
He was also the man responsible for hanging four American contractors,
one of which was a seal brother of mine whose body was lit on fire dangling from a bridge by his neck.
My team caught that guy.
And when we brought him back, the same people who sent us on that mission,
they turned around and court-martialed us for abusing him in custody,
which we clearly did not do, which was proven by our full acquittals almost immediately in a courtroom,
all because politicians wanted to have the talking point that they stood with the Iraqi people over their own soldiers.
And the generals, whose promotions need to be approved by the Senate, people by, like Mark Kelly and Alyssa Slotkin,
they bent the knee and they sacrificed me and my team at the altar of their political correctness.
And you know what it did?
It made every soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan second guess everything.
Stuff like this gets people killed.
It creates stupid rules of engagement, some of which killed my friends, personally, because they want to play political grandstand games with no intention of ever backing the soldier up when he does the bidding that they subtly encouraged.
This is why people hate politicians. They pop off like there's some moral authority without listing a single specific thing that Trump has done illegally.
So good, right?
not only is it offensive it's downright dangerous
and then adding fuel to the fire
and insult to injury when Trump sends out
this is treasonous
this is treason
that the punishment of which is death
what do they do
oh poor me I'm the victim Trump's mean
that's actually been their next move
to call out Trump's rhetoric
Trump's rhetoric is not the problem here
your rhetoric was
Elissa, take responsibility
and butt your fat ass out of the relationship
between Donald Trump, the Commander-in-Chief, and our troops.
Okay.
Let's take some Q&A with you guys.
Enough about me and her.
He's going to line them up over here,
and we'll get in as many as we can.
Keep them tight if you can so I can get to as many as possible.
And then we'll bring out our friends.
Hi, Megan.
Hi.
I'm a normal Californian.
I assumed.
Yes.
And my question is, how do we take California back?
I mean, it's, you know.
Okay, I got two words for you.
Steve Hilton.
You got to elect some normie people.
You got to convince your neighbors.
You know, I don't, like, if the Palisades fire,
like if that stuff doesn't convince people,
that Democrat governance doesn't work,
how are we going to get them?
I don't know.
I wish I knew,
but you do need people like Steve,
who he's utterly electable.
He's so charming.
He's nice.
He cares.
He can talk to talk.
He is a right winger,
but he's not like a far right winger.
So, you know, that's what you need here.
I think he's got a shot.
Last poll I saw, he was one up.
He was leading.
So you got to mobilize, though.
Only you're going to be able to do it
by getting other people to vote
and getting your friends to vote
and getting the kids off the sofa and all that.
you. Yeah.
Hi, Megan, Scott Sprague. Love you. Listen to you every day. You're awesome. So I just
have to say Marjorie Taylor-Legreen gone in January. What's the deal with that? Do you
know anything about that? Yeah, yeah. Not to punt on this, but we're going to talk about that
with the fifth column, so I'll save my response when they come out. But that's our first
order of business. You guys heard the news about MTG? She's resigning as of January. It's unbelievable.
I was stunned. Sorry, because I'm like,
Go ahead. Hi.
Hi, Megan. Nice to meet you in person.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm Xavier de Rousseau from Prager You.
You got a big fan club here.
So the last piece of advice that our friend Charlie Kirk gave to me
was to become unapologetically outspoken
about the threat of radical Islam taking over the West.
Yes.
So my question is, after they spent,
nearly seven billion dollars corrupting our educational institutions, a quarter billion dollars
lobbying Congress, and trying to buy out almost every major media outlet and personality, myself
included. Why are we not as outspoken about guitar as people are about Israel? Yeah, I mean,
the threat of radical Islam is real, and even like regular Islam, to the extent it's taking over
our cities.
just a matter of how we want to live culturally here in America. And I think Charlie was a great
example of somebody who is willing to speak out on the hard truths of how Islam is not consistent
with the fundamental values of the West. And we should not be rooting for people who are Muslim
to take over as our mayors and our governors and our presidents and so on. It's nothing against
our friends who are Muslim. You can love friends who are Muslim, you can support them and
their ability to worship the way they want to, but it doesn't mean you want more and more people
who are Islamic, taking over as the governors and the mayors and the legislators here in America
because their religion is more than a religion.
It is a political doctrine, and it is one that is totally wholly inconsistent with the fundamental
values of the West, like free speech, like women's equality and women's rights, and the separation
of church and state, which we believe in pretty strongly here.
We definitely don't want it to be less separated when you're looking at the tenets of Islam
and you're thinking about things like genital mutilation of little girls.
it's a no.
So he told you the right thing, Xavier.
We got to talk about it.
We've got to be fearless in talking about it.
Love you.
Thank you for the question.
Thanks for being here.
Hi, Megan. Nice to meet you.
I'm a really big fan of your show.
Thank you.
So one of my questions is we have a lot of lobbying firms, and that's okay.
But with foreign country lobbying,
should APEC be registered as a foreign agent act?
I think it should.
I really think APEC should register as a,
under the Afara Foreign Agent Registration Act.
And not just APEC, though.
I mean, there are a lot of foreign countries
that are trying to get into America
and lobby our lawmakers
and push our American agenda
to serve their foreign interests,
which great, that's fine.
They can do that if they want,
but they should all be registered.
Why should we have to wonder who they're loyal to?
It should all be there, black and white,
for everybody to perfectly understand,
okay, you're here really on the behalf of Israel,
not really on the behalf of America,
or Qatar, or Saudis, or whomever.
I'd much rather know. I want way more transparency on all of this. So thank you for the question.
Hi. I'm Emily, host of Emily Saves America. Hi. Hi, nice. Question. With all, I thought after
Charlie, we would all come together a bit more. With all the fighting going on, on the right,
specifically, I tend to be in the middle of a lot of controversies on the right. What would your
advice be to put that aside to focus on coming together and winning elections, which is what we
need to do. Thank you, Emily. Yes. Shoot it into my veins. I'm with you. Aren't you bummed out about
all the fighting on the right wing right now? Doesn't it kind of just kind of make you feel sick?
I feel like that the feeling like when you have an argument with a friend and it's not somebody
who you want to discard, it's somebody who you actually want to patch it up with, but you're too mad at
each other. I had that feeling right now, a lot. I just feel like I hate that. I hate that. I just feel like I hate
the right wing in fighting. I will say like most of it, not all of it, but a lot of it right now
is around the Israel issue. And I have dear, dear friends, as you know, on both sides of this.
And I really think the best thing for Israel and for us is the fact that Trump managed to help
wrap up this war. Thankfully, it's looking like it's holding. And once Israel is off the front
pages and at the apex of our foreign policy concerns, I think we're going to get back to
normal. I think things are going to settle. I think our American Jewish friends are going to feel
less like they're at the pointy end of the spear. Like people are constantly talking about them
and now saying more and more negative things about Israel. And I think most people who are America
first and are over the Israel thing will, once like their anger settles over this whole thing,
they will quickly move on from talking about Israel all the time. And I think that'll help.
Thank you for the question.
Hi. Hi. Thank you so much for being out here. California.
I always tell people, it's the greatest, the most beautiful state on the nation, or in the nation.
It's been ruined by our politics.
Thank you so much for coming out here.
I promise, we're still out here.
We're still out here.
We're not mad.
Please, the rest of the GEP.
And you're not alone.
Please, I'm asking, please, if you're a Republican Party, please don't forget about us Republicans in California.
Because we're still a power for voting base.
We won't.
This is not just another liberal state.
I promise, we're still out here.
So I have a question for you today.
I promise I'm not trying to get you in trouble.
I'm curious if you have any thoughts or any concerns about the Peter Thiel Network companies like Anderrill, Palantir, like mass surveillance, AI-driven companies, autonomous, police capabilities. I know that's something of a hot topic, at least with maybe more of the dissident, right? And I was wondering if you had any thoughts. I definitely have concerns about mass surveillance and what's happening. And I also have concerns about companies like Open AI and what's happening with AI and, you know, the nonstop spying on us and eating of our data and then regurgitation of it to,
forced 16-year-olds to take their own lives. I mean, it's really gotten out of hand. And the
mass surveillance has gotten out of hand, too. I mean, they're stealing our data every day. You just
walk around with that rectangle in your pocket, and they know pretty much everything you've done.
It's really disconcerting, and that's why I'm super thrilled to see, like, the advent of
more secure phones. We advertise for the up phone, which is, that's an Eric Prince phone, and, like,
you know, Eric Prince ran Blackwater. This guy could, like, get in and out of Fallujah safely. He can
get a phone that they cannot hack. So I'm very much in favor of like these alternatives that are
rising up because you should not trust your government. You should not trust big tech and you should
take whatever steps you can to protect yourself and your data. Thank you. Hi, Megan. My name is
Allison and I feel like California is worth saving and with seeing you here and everyone here
probably will be. You guys are ground zero. Yeah. Anyway, I just want to say people that are here
in your audience, they're probably diving into independent media and hearing versions of
stories we've been told for decades that are probably different than what we've been told.
And I'm just curious because your audience trusts you.
You guys do your homework.
You don't put anything out unless you've vetted it.
So do you have interest in looking into certain things, 9-11 or Oklahoma City or Charlie Kirk's
murder?
How do you decide what to look into and do you have interest in it?
It's actually a very good question.
I think you can safely assume that if I don't put it on my show, I'm not buying it.
I put on the show what I can verify and what I know.
You know, my sort of unofficial tagline is relentlessly factual.
And if I can't take it to the bank in a place where I'm not going to embarrass you,
I don't put it on the show.
So it's not to say I don't believe anything that's out there.
You know, it's like some of the conspiracies that I didn't buy turned out to be true, you know.
So it's not that I always have.
the right place on that. It's just my approach as a recovering lawyer is always just to keep it
completely within balance because my worst nightmare is that you guys get embarrassed by something
you heard on my show and then you go repeat it to somebody and it's wrong. And I just pledged
to you, I will never put you in that position. So yes. So if you have an appetite for that stuff,
you know, where to get it and that's fine too. I have no problem with people who are more,
you know, looking into those things too. It's just from my own sanity and my own brand
I go a different way. Yeah. Thank you.
Hi, Megan. My name's Morgan. I'm a huge fan. I listen to you every single day. I'm a California
transplant. And you motivated me to run for my local school board. Oh. Did you make it? I did. I won by 80
votes. It took on 45 days to count the votes. And I won by 80 votes. So thank you.
That's amazing.
a blessing and a curse, but thank you for motivating me.
But my question for you is, and I'm here on my birthday, my sister brought me for my birthday.
Happy birthday.
And my question for you is I started to notice some of the ads leading into your show, not during your show, were promoting Prop 50, Big Pharma, and I wasn't sure if you're aware that they're coming after your audience, and you know those are the lead-ins.
How do you listen to the show, via what forum?
I listen to it on Apple Podcasts.
On podcast, okay.
So usually, like, we have the host red ads, all of which I bless.
If I read it, I blessed it.
I approved it.
And all the rest are, like, programmatic ads where they buy ad time through Apple or through
Series X-N.
And those I don't have approval over.
So I'm not surprised they're trying to get my audience because it's a very reasonable,
smart, covetable audience.
So that's fine.
We're strong enough to listen to their bullshit on Prop 50 or whatever.
Let them waste their money trying to get us.
Rather than trying to motivate voters
to actually might get to the polls and vote with them.
So anyway, I don't know.
Like, I'm fine taking their money.
I guess at some point I must get some piece of that.
But really, the host reds ads are the ones that I stand behind.
Like cowboy cholesterol.
Madagascar, vanilla.
They tried to make it sound exotic.
It's from a cow.
Okay, one more, and then we've got to go.
Hi, Megan.
Hi, Kevin.
Hi, Kevin.
I have a question regarding H.R. 4310.
It's an Obama-era law regarding propaganda.
Okay.
And I was wondering, I mean, it's hard enough to get the right information
or the correct information because of all the fake news and the fake media.
So what can be done to be repealing laws like that?
so that we're not lied to on a daily basis.
Well, I'm not familiar with the law that you're citing,
but in general, propaganda,
I don't think it should be handled by government regulation.
I don't want any regulation from government on speech pretty much at all.
I think the answer to, you know, bullshit propaganda
is finding real news sources that you trust,
and that takes some time.
It does take time to actually figure out who do I trust in the media.
And then when you do, you're good.
So, like, you do have to put some effort into figuring out,
Like, who do I trust?
Who's not going to try to mind-meld me into their own agenda?
And then you should be fine.
But, like, to say you're going to, like, avoid people trying to manipulate you through
propaganda or just bias is to pretend you don't live in a free society like the United States
of America.
So you're going to have to deal with it is the bad news.
They will come for you.
But I got you.
Don't worry.
Stick with me.
All right.
I'm sorry for those of you wait in line.
We're going to have to wrap it up because we want to keep this show on time.
Thrill, thrilled, thrilled to be here.
And you're going to love.
because you watch the MK show,
our first guests. All right. Now,
Michael Moynihan,
Camille Foster,
and Matt Welsh,
you might not necessarily think
that they're the perfect fit for the Megan Kelly show.
Like, we disagree on a lot.
They are not huge Trump fans.
They've got, you know,
policies that they've stuck by
for many, many years as open libertarians
that don't always jive with my own
worldview, but often do.
But they remind us,
me of the fundamental decency of people on the right. I think they would admit they're at least
center right. Because even though we disagree over everything, they're like brothers to me.
These guys would take a bullet for me, and I would for them too. And even though there's a million
things that we could go to town on, you know, I went on to their show and we had like a long
and difficult discussion about some of the things we mentioned, like the very dicey issues.
and we got completely hammered
and we had so much fun
and to me it's like an example
one of the reasons I bring on guys like the fifth column
with whom I have so many disagreements
is because we really are able to disagree
without being disagreeable
and I think the audience likes that
I think it's a good thing to remind yourself
that this is possible
especially for people like you who are living
side by side with nothing but people
who probably disagree with you right
so in any event I'm overstating
the delta of our disagreements
but there are enough
that I think it's exciting when they come on.
And I think they're actually one of our most important guests
for that reason alone.
I'm going to introduce them via videotape
and then we'll bring the guys out.
Check it out.

The Fifth College.
Hi, Megan.
Thank you for coming.
It's so great.
Cheers.
Five years.
This is the five years.
There's a big bunny in front of me.
I have to leave now.
God, is that real?
I thought it was a Megyn Kelly deep fake.
The man is just not in the same universe as the rest of us.
and has a person in a bunny suit
pulling him away from questions about Afghanistan,
which sounds like, you know,
some acid trip fever dream
in, you know, a Jefferson airplane song.
Guess what's coming back?
Crop tops for men.
Cropped tops.
One hand's eyes are like silver dollars.
I'm sorry, coming back?
Quote, my girlfriend.
Oh, my girlfriend always makes fun of me.
What?
What?
I have bad news for the girlfriend.
Yes.
Your boyfriend's gay.
Sorry.
The land acknowledgement.
This land was not claimed or traded.
We still live in a system built to suppress indigenous peoples.
Camille, you look moved.
I feel like it touched you a little.
I mean, there's always something about those land acknowledgements that reminds me of just how out-of-touch Democrats have the capacity to be.
I want to acknowledge Steve, who lived in this apartment before me, but I could pay them.
Democrats never actually let Americans mind their own debt.
business. And calling the people who don't vote Democrats racist is part of that. They are constantly
the HR manager, like pointing the bankers and telling you what to do. And people are sick of it.
Sick of it. Yes. Look, I had the Kamala Harris Babbledoll. And this was Kamala Harris last night.
I can almost see her laughing. Yeah. Yeah. That's how it went. Sorry, but it was rough.
We don't hang out a lot. We don't go for dinners a lot, but we know each other. We've spent
hours and hours. I can't think of a lot of friends. I have spent this much time where.
These relationships you form with the people who you interview and spend time with in this space, they're real.
Can you do the twirl first?
No.
Wow.
Wow.
We just move the chair.
Too soon.
If you can look at it just in the right angle and exclude my C-section scars, you're going to find it really hot.
The fifth column, Camille Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welsh.
Yeah!
What?
Wow.
Wow.
Great.
Word.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
Where's your bit?
All we're missing is a hair band.
Yes.
I know.
We have fire.
Amazing.
Fun, right?
Welcome back to California.
Thanks for having me.
I look at you said Libertarian.
And I heard one woman's voice shout, yeah.
And I want to buy you a drink later, so.
Just text me.
She's for you.
That's great.
Everybody wants to talk about MTG, guys.
Oh, God.
She's leaving.
She's leaving.
What do we think is, I'll give you my own theory.
All right, and then I want to hear your theory.
So I had her on the show.
Like, in Atlanta, it was a week and a half ago.
Which, by the way, why couldn't she have announced it live on the set of the MK show?
But, okay, fine.
And I asked her the question about whether AOC was telling the truth when AOC said,
she asked Trump, MTG asked Trump, if she could run for Senate, and he said, no, like, I don't think
you can do it. He must have somebody else in mind. And he said, basically, I mean, she can do it,
but he's like, I'm not going to get behind it. And AOC was saying, that's why MTG went on the
view and was doing this sort of crossover tour with CNN and sounding very different than she
normally sounded. And then her attacks on Trump escalated. She joined the brigade trying to get
the Epstein files. He started attacking her downward spiral. And then she said,
just too toxic and I'm out. But I do think my own view is she lost the support of Trump,
clearly for whatever reason, and she recognized there was no future for her in the Republican
Party without Big Daddy, because her whole brand was as this stalwart of the MAGA movement
and decided to peace out once she and he fractured. That's my best guess, because I don't know,
what else could it be? Well, Moynihan was with her backstage at Bill Maher like 10 days ago,
so we don't know what happened there with her. I think,
We were talking about this in the green room.
Who's left?
That is a Republican elected official
who has decided to oppose Trump
with some regularity.
There's one person.
Thomas Massey.
And Trump's going full guns at him.
He's trying to get him supplanted.
Rand Paul.
Rand Paul is, you know, he used to play a lot of golf
with him in the first term, but like, yeah,
Trump is circling back around to him.
We forget now, because it's,
a lot of times passed, but in Trump's first administration,
in his first year in office, he basically croaked
every single potential area of disagreement
in the Republican Party.
He went straight for the Freedom Caucus
and made them his lap dogs within nine months.
It was actually kind of spectacular.
Justin Amash pieces out.
Peter Meyer pieces out.
Basically, everyone, we invite on our podcast immediately.
Get sick.
Come on our podcast.
Like the grim reapers.
But I think that's just the reality of Trump's party
until the moment that it isn't.
And it's very curious to figure out
when he is going to be a lame duck.
He isn't now.
I mean, he's very unpopular in the country
and he's doing worse and worse than the polls
and the generic Democratic ballot
is doing incredibly well right now
despite the fact of Democrats.
And even with all of that,
Republicans are terrified of not just him.
They're terrified of his audience, his people out there.
And I think it's untenable for an elected Republican to be anti-Trump until the moment that it is.
So why did she go anti-Trump?
I mean, do you think it was the no, don't run for Senate?
Like, there was a reason she started changing, didn't she?
Weren't you surprised to see our on CNN?
I felt very strongly that the move for any disaffected Republican is not go on CNN.
It's just not.
I see that as traitor territory.
I do.
They hate everything you stand for on the record.
I'm not going to suggest in any way that there's some audience feedback that she's
responding to, but in the Bill Maher's show, he does the top of the show, and he sits
out there with a guest in that episode.
There was someone talking about aliens, so we were sitting across stage waiting, and
she seemed nervous, because she's going into what she sees is like the Vipers Nest.
It's Bill Maher, and she was saying he's like, oh, this liberal guy, a liberal audience.
And I say, yeah, you've got to watch out for the audience, because when they
turn on you, you become the wrestling villain. We went out there and they introduced her and I was,
and they all applauded, like lustily applauded, Southern California, LA audience. They don't know
who the guest is going to be. So you can't stack it with MTG fans. So they were very, very
pro her. She didn't get a single boo the whole time. But all the things that she said were not
necessarily anti-Trump. She had the throat clearing that he's still the greatest president,
but and there was all of these butts until we got to the overtime segment and she had something
sounded a little more conservative to me but we were talking about health care most of the time
and it was a bit you know it could have been in the birdie sanders universe i mean her politics
became and there's a lot of that in populism too which is why we disagree with some things
you're talking about is we're definitely ultra free market people and there's a lot of people
in the populist movement who aren't but she afterwards and i can't betray confidence as we had a long
conversation afterwards, but she did sound much more left-wing than I had heard her sound in the
past. You know, I will say, maybe there's a piece of this I can relate to, because having been
on the wrong side of Donald Trump for a good nine months, I heard about that. Yeah, yeah. I'll have to
look that up. By the end of that, I too was sounding more left-wing, you know, like, I was kind of like,
I don't like him. I don't want to be around him. I don't want to be around him.
I don't want to have to, like, cover him every night.
And it really took four years of Joe Biden
to help me see the error of my ways.
And then I was like, I love him.
I will walk over a broken glass for him.
Right?
I mean, nothing will make it fall in love with Trump,
like four years with Joe Biden.
But I don't know.
Like, it's tough.
Trump is amazing, and he's, I think, a great president.
And he's a special guy.
But, you know, he's a big personality.
So if, like, you're on the wrong end of that, and you're a Republican, like, you don't,
you probably don't have much of a future in Congress, and you're not going to have.
When he said Marjorie Trader Green, which I thought was kind of funny, sorry.
And she was like, my life is in danger.
And I was like, wait.
I'm over that.
I just did the rhetoric from her, who has, by the way, called a number of people traders publicly before,
but that kind of thing is not something you expect to hear from.
from somebody in the coalition.
The Republican Party has generally been this big tent movement,
that there is some room for disagreement.
And it felt like someone like Marjorie Taylor Green
having particular issues on foreign policy questions,
on some other kind of narrow issues,
certainly on the Epstein stuff.
There's something that was healthy about it
for the Republican Party.
And I do wonder, both with respect
to the way the president responded to this video,
but also to the fact that he very publicly
and read her out of the party, if that isn't something of a misstep,
that there isn't something to be gained from having a high-profile person
who supports you, who just disagrees on a couple of important issues.
That's her failure, though, because Donald Trump, if you know Donald Trump at all,
you know that he forgives everyone.
Look at us.
This is, yeah, I mean, you can say anything.
I had somebody that I interviewed when I was doing the vice show
who insulted Donald Trump on camera so aggressively
like in the background, and I was like, should we cut that?
And he's like, no, it's fine.
And then he became a member of the administration.
Trump knew all about it.
He doesn't care.
He said, Marco...
Jay Vance had the private text saying...
Called him a Nazi.
Kind of like a Nazi.
He's very forgiving.
Yeah, and I mean, it's like little Marco.
He's like, best secretary of stead of all time.
He's the best.
And it's like, did you guys hate each other at some point?
He'll forgive you.
You guys will get over it.
Don't break up immediately.
This is among his best qualities.
I think.
Like, watching that exchange in the Oval today,
like, it actually feels kind of good.
No, it doesn't.
I won't.
Do you feel good about the bromance
between Trump and Zora and Mamdani?
No.
I'll tell you what feels,
I'll tell you.
I want to be the heel.
Do the fireworks again.
What I like about it is
there's something about the vitriol in our politics
that I think we have all become accustomed to,
but that we all kind of have some contempt for.
As you were saying earlier when you were introducing us
in such a generous way, thank you for that, by the way.
And I was talking to some of the wonderful people in the room in line earlier
about the fact that we'll agree on 85, 90% of things.
And that's actually true most of the time with most Americans.
Granted, that 10% can be pretty damn important.
But the fact that we agree on so much
ought to give us more opportunities to see scenes like that.
And I appreciated that that played out in the office.
And, of course, Trump being the funniest man
to have ever occupied the Oval Office,
had the best line of the evening as well.
With Zoran?
Yeah, yeah, totally fine to call me a fascist.
Just go ahead and do that.
Did you see that?
You don't have to.
Do we have that?
Hold on, I got a long sotless.
It's good.
It's a very good clip.
But we disagree with Mumdani on 98% of things.
Well, yeah.
In that 10%.
There's no, we don't have any overlap with him at all.
As we should.
And two of us live in that decaying city.
I think he's going to surprise some conservative people, actually.
Just a phase ago, you referred to President Trump as a despot?
And I've been called much worse than a despot, so it's not that insulting.
I expect to be helping him, not hurting him.
A big help, because I want New York City to be great.
Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office?
No, I know.
You say things sometimes in a campaign.
I met with a man who's a very rational person.
Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
I've spoken about...
That's okay. You can just say, yeah.
Okay.
It's easier.
It's easier than explaining it.
It's funny.
It's funny.
I don't like it, but it's funny.
What is happening?
Yeah, what is happening?
MTG is out, and Trump hates her, and she's a traitor.
Zora Mamdani is in, and Trump thinks it's funny to call him a fascist.
Who are we?
Game, respect, game.
Game, respect, game.
They're like, they're both from Queens.
They both came from outside of the establishment of their parties.
They're both really savvy at media, whether you like Mom Dani or Trump or not.
He's very skilled at it, especially compared to the stiff boards that he was running against.
Cuomo's campaign was unbelievably non-existent.
It was just the worst campaign I've ever seen him out.
Really.
Yes.
But Trump endorsed course.
And Trump enjoys him.
Like, Ben Smith, our friend at Semaphore, had a piece just two weeks ago talking about that.
There was a fan club within the White House for Zoramam Dami because they kind of see what he's doing.
And it's Trump said, and this should terrify every single one of us, especially those of us who live in New York.
He's like, hey, we have a lot of the same policies.
And we're talking about the same economic policies here.
That's not good people.
That's not good at all.
But wait, but I've also heard that there's a fan club in the White House for Zoraamadani, but not for that.
reason, because they're going to make him the poster boy of the left, the communist left,
and they're really looking forward to having him as this, you know, thing to sort of beat up
for the next four years.
Does he have to destroy my city for that?
Sorry.
Really?
I mean, look, these people have no sympathy for you.
Look how they have to live.
I know.
Does anybody have, like, the one who said,
cheered for libertarian, do you have, like, a spare room that I can, I love, I love California,
but you guys have horrible leadership, too, so.
Who will take over Steve's apartment?
Oh, yeah.
Well, my rent's not going up.
I know that.
Right, there's that.
The cost will go up, but the rent won't.
I don't know.
I'm uncomfortable with the Zoran mom, Donnie bromance.
And I also, like, to me, I recognize that we're all in media,
and you guys will consume enough media because you're here,
that you know it's true, too.
That, like, they don't mean it when they say the really terrible things about each other
when they're campaigning.
You know, like Zoran's been calling Trump all the terrible.
names, and I watched that New York
debate, the last one, I watched both of them,
but the last one where Cuomo
and Zoran threw down, and Cuomo's
like, I will work with Donald Trump,
you know, we got to get along with the president,
and I'll stand up to him when I need to, but there has to be a good
relationship between the mayor of New York
and the President of the United States, and Zoran's like,
I will fight Donald Trump, I will
not lie down for Don't, I will take him on at
every turn. And look at the two of them now.
Like BFFs.
Well, I mean, you saw what,
whoever the person in the media said,
You know, you were called by Elise Stefanik, a jihadist.
And Trump's response, he's like, she's running for, of course you say that.
It doesn't mean anything.
And it's like he was saying it out front that he called, she called him a jihadist.
And he's like, yeah, but you know that she's running.
In Trump's brain, he's like, yeah, you just say stuff.
Right.
And then what you do is what matters.
I think that in a lot of ways, there's obviously limits to that.
But in a lot of ways, that is true.
I mean, I know that Zoran Mamdani, much to the disappointment of so many of the morons that I call friends,
they don't watch, I can say it, the idiots that I know, but they're friends of mine that I've known for a long time
who believe this stuff is going to happen, that you're going to get free buses.
They think that the mayor can just do that.
It's like, no, this is the rhetoric that makes dummies like you go to the polls because you're going to get free stuff.
Yeah.
And it never happens and they've forgotten about it.
So, you know.
Did you see the moment, we had Jack Posobac on the stage last night in Bakersfield.
And did you see him get in Zoran's face saying, you said you wanted to create tax policy based on where the whites were?
Like, you're very focused on targeting whites.
You said that.
You promised to raise taxes on white people, which is illegal.
And he dodged.
Zoramam Dhani sounded a lot more reasonable and less interested in going after the whites when he was cross-examination.
by Jack, which was interesting. But I actually
think it was all fake. I don't think it's a game
respects game. I think Trump is always affable when you're
affable to him, but as soon as Zoran gets out of there and gets back
to New York and says his first bad thing about Trump, which he will,
because that's what his constituency wants to see.
Trump is, the big gorilla is coming back out. I don't think he said anything
nice about Trump when Trump was being nice to him. He was kind of sitting
there in that kind of statue like way. Backstage, they seem to
do have. Okay.
Right? He seemed to have wooed Trump into like his affable status where he would say,
go ahead and call me a fascist. It's fine. Clearly there was some glad handing backstage.
All right, but speaking about this weird world in which like Trump doesn't like MTG, but he does
like Zoran, Dick Cheney's funeral.
What happened? This is so bizarre.
Rachel Maddow was in the front row of Dick Cheney's funeral.
She literally bashed him every night for years.
and yet, and also Trump wasn't there.
Like, the realignment that is happening right now is real.
Can anyone explain it?
Do you want to take this?
A thing that I thought a lot about with Dick Cheney dying and the reaction to it,
I was on a conservative radio show in Salt Lake City,
I think on the morning that he died,
and they had me on to bash Mom Donnie, which I was happy to.
But their preamble was like, oh, Dick Cheney died, by the way, today.
He used to be good.
but he turned really bad at the end when he went against Trump.
And they kind of railed against him for a while.
As someone who was never a fan of Dick Cheney to begin with,
this is always very fun to kind of watch people go in all these directions.
But the two people in the last 50 years who have expanded the powers of the presidency the most,
and it's not close, are Dick Cheney and Donald Trump.
That was Dick Cheney's project from the time that he was in the Ford administration
and seeing the post-Richard Nixon kind of Watergate rollbacks of executive power,
he made that his desire and drive under George Debbie Bush.
He wanted to expand those powers.
Donald Trump, who campaigned against the Bush family,
very effectively and very daringly in the 2016 primary,
and against Cheney and the Forever Wars and all of this stuff,
Trump's picked up all of those powers.
He's used all of them gleefully, willingly.
Every person has done that since Bush, Obama expanded them,
Trump expanded, and then Biden continued it too.
You can't give the keys and ever expect someone to give them.
back. One of the things that I think is interesting is, I don't know if you noticed, Megan,
that after when Cheney died, it was almost that I didn't hear about it for a couple of days.
There was almost no, and that was more indicative to me of the shift and policy, like, away from,
I mean, he was, this is a really weird, stupid, narrow distinction that no one cares,
but he wasn't necessarily a neocon, neocons didn't consider one, but he was of that universe.
He's obviously the man that's one of the big Arctic of the Iraq War, that you could not get a single
Republican say a positive thing about today.
Not one. Try to find one.
And when he died, no one really said
anything. In this strange new respect,
when you see this, and our producer
Jason mentioned
Mark Liebewitch's book, Our Town,
about all these people at Tim Russert's funeral,
which is a great scene in a book.
The funeral shows you so much
about D.C. politics
because no one believes in anything
really. Rachel Maddow
and there's a new,
what is it, Grock or whatever,
Gemini, this AI thing. And I said, let me try it out. What did Rachel Maddow say on her show
about Dick Cheney? Oh my God, that thing spat out some insane thing. Like, basically he's a
terrorist and he's a war criminal. And she's four rows back, setting the next day, Anthony Fauci,
by the way, at this funeral. And it's like, why are they there?
You know the answer. At the end of his life, he hated Trump enough and that's the
paramount thing in her life now. That's it. That's it. He hated Trump.
That's why Rachel Maddowl showed up at his funeral.
Think of how F up that is.
It's really crazy.
What is that?
Unlike people like Bill Crystal, who actually just changed his politics, he's become kind of
an FDR Democrat now in the process of become an anti-Trump person.
As far as I know, Dick Cheney never changed any of his politics.
No.
He just didn't like Trump.
No.
And so all the people.
He also produced Liz Cheney, which people like Rachel Maddow like.
Right, exactly.
And I mean, and not fans.
And mark my words, if you have, if you have.
haven't seen it already, you're going to see this
with MTG as well.
The strange new respect. I saw Chuck
Todd, your favorite, talking
about how like a, you know, read...
The Chuck Toddcasts. I think they're up to 30 viewers
now.
He linked
to her statement today, which is very
long and written, too, badly written
as if he was writing for vanity fair
or something. And he's
what?
And he's like, you know, read every word.
This is an important American statement. It's like,
Dude, MTG, Chuck Todd and Dick Cheney, I think it was the same thing.
Like, he didn't modify his views at all, but he became this effective person for this thing that media people cared about.
All right, let's move back to looking forward.
A lot of the left now arguing Trump is a lame duck.
I think it's wishful thinking.
I don't think Trump will ever be a lame duck.
I don't think those rules apply to him.
Not in his mind, no.
He's, right?
Like, he's not, like, Barack Obama rode off into the sunset and is now just dealing with his mess of a wife.
Good luck, brother.
George Bush, I think, genuinely wanted privacy after he left the presidency.
He and Laura were classy and went and didn't attack the people that came after them,
and they're leading a private life now.
A lot of great paintings.
A lot of great paintings.
He actually really is talented.
Clinton does his grift on the Clinton.
initiative and all that. Yeah, we all know. His criminal wife is doing her thing. And now they've
got their loser daughter who's really never done anything lecturing us on how Maha sucks.
Imagine making that your cause. Like, no, I don't want to make America healthy again. I don't want
any questions about vaccines or anything else. I'm just going to, status quo. Kids are doing
great. That's going to be my thing. Chelsea's talking about that? Yes, she is. But anyway,
I don't get my Google alerts for Chelsea Clinton anymore. But my point is Trump's not going to do that.
Trump, his whole, his oxygen is attention and celebrity,
and he'll live post-presidency, the way he lived pre-presidency.
And do you think he's going to be shy about going after Republican politicians
who crossed him while he was president,
about like using his bully pulpit to actually bully people
when he's, you know, post-president?
Like, he won't.
He's going to use it, and they are going to be afraid of him,
especially if we have a JD-Vans president.
You don't have to be the president.
Got some JD-Vans fans here.
Yeah, I don't know what that applause is for.
Also known as.
Yeah.
I don't know what's happening.
I heard something behind me.
No, you don't have to be the president
to say that person should be primaried
and have people act on it.
You're absolutely right about this.
He's not going to back down.
And why would he, in the second you walk out of office,
you're not denuded of power.
People like him for reasons.
It's not just because they're scared of him.
It's not just because they're like,
okay, we're waiting for him
to ride off on the sunset.
he has like fundamentally remade the party
in those years when Joe Biden was president
that was his party still
he was not in the White House that was his party
it has been his party
and it's going to be his party for
for better or for worse I mean for like libertarian types
who like us who love free market economics
and things like that it's that part sucks
yes you're guys we are friends
and roommates now
dozens of us
deal
I'm sorry. Sorry. But yeah, like, I don't think that's going to end, and it doesn't just disappear in like the Libertarians come back and the Cato Institute come back.
No, I mean, yeah, they were never, yeah. Assumes facts. No, there was one election where the Libertarian Party got 0.1% of the votes.
Right, right on. Very uplifting. I think that if he loses big in the midterms, he has less power. But I think you are right. He is the most consequential figure in America.
politics in the last 35 years, and it's not close.
Like he has, whatever America was doing between World War II and the Cold War, which
was basically the Cold War, was an important task.
And then afterwards, when we finished the task, Americans were like, cool, so we're done, right?
And no politician answered that question.
He's the first one to really try and to achieve prominent office to try to answer that question.
I don't like the way he answers that question sometimes.
sometimes I do like the way he answers that question
but he recognizes that that's a thing
and the old world
they had literal zombie as a president
for the last four years
they're just wheeling him around
they don't know who he is
and he didn't know who he is
so that's gonna
that power is going to stay with him
I think you're right
he will continue to be energetic
what I find most
the most interesting question is who
actually steps in to fill the void
when Donald Trump is no longer
the most important man in our
And that's part of all the squabbling right now, too.
Let's be honest about that.
Within the Republican Party.
It's joccing for a position of who comes next.
Absolutely.
That's part of it.
I totally agree with that.
And it's like now it's at the podcaster level,
but it's going to go up to the presidential level very soon.
But yeah, people are practicing for, you know, is it going to be JD?
And I don't even know if, like, Marco is going to be the appealing candidate.
He would have been four years ago to the...
Ted Cruz is thirsty.
He is? He is? I'm not saying I'm giving him water, but he just said his name. It's all right. Don't get mad at him.
He is thirsty. I mean, like, all these people have run for president so many times.
Like, I've been cross-examining Ted Cruz on his presidential debates since I was like 14.
Right? Don't you at some point say, I guess they don't want me. I don't know. I think, like, you had your shot, you took it, you missed it again and again and again. We need some new blood going in there.
and that new blood, I think, is now 41 years old
and married to a woman named Usha.
Yes.
I'll be right.
All right, guys, I got to wrap it up.
It's wonderful having you here.
But we're not doing two hours?
Good luck with your roommate and your time in California,
and thank you all for everything.
Thank you, Megan.
Thank you, Megan.
Thank you.
Aren't they amazing?
Great.
So fun, aren't they?
You always learn something from our pals of the fifth column.
You always have some laughs, right?
One of you gained a roommate.
We're really coming together tonight.
All right, we're moving around our chairs
because we're going to bring out our next guest.
Yeah, just leave them on the chair. It's fine.
Anyway, Maureen's coming, but not yet.
My next guest,
is somebody who shot to superstardom on an NBC show called The Biggest Loser.
She quickly became the breakout star of that show because she was fearless,
she was no nonsense, she was all about the tough love.
She got shit done.
And for me personally, watching Jillian Michaels transform from a California Democrat
who wasn't necessarily political, but like your normal California,
Democrat into somebody who has clearly been red-pilled has been a thing of beauty.
And I really think, I've heard Jillian say this, but like, if you look at her, the demo
around her, and like, you know, she's a lesbian, she's married to a woman, she's got kids
who are diverse, if California is too radical for her, if the Democrat Party is too
radical for her, they're doing something wrong. Something really wrong. She needs no introduction,
but we're going to give her one anyway. Jillian Michaels, and then we'll bring her out.

We have a lot in common. We were both heavy girls. I found out the hard way from kids at school.
Kids will always make you wear.
And you were bullied.
I was bullied, I think, for a host of reasons.
I was gay and didn't know I was gay.
Huge nose and terrible skin and braces.
Not a glamorous period in my life.
Your root out of that was eventually fitness.
When somebody feels stronger physically,
they feel stronger in every facet of their lives.
Get your ass on the treadmill now.
We got Jillian Michaels back in the gym.
I don't give a...
what you think of me. That needs to hurt. This is going to go on for hours every day. I love Gilliam.
She's coming out of her, like, liberal bubble. Over the past few years, she's really started to get it.
Like, wait a minute, I think I've been really misled by my side. Keeping it real with Jillian
Michael's. I feel myself being less neutral than white people. Every single thing is like, oh, no, no, no,
this is all because white people bad. And that's just not the truth. Like, for example,
Every single exhibit, I have a list of every single one.
We don't have time to litigate all of this.
Of course we don't, because then you're going to lose the argument.
And if everything is racialized, just like you're trying to do to me now.
Of course, the left is like, oh, she's a racist.
Having a white son and a black daughter is really distressing to me.
I want my daughter to know that not all white people are bad.
Sorry, that's important to me.
You said those who are making the case that there's no difference between transgender women and biological women
are deranged.
Anybody with a pair of eyes knows that men have better athleticism since the inception of humanity.
Don Lemon does not like women, in particular strong women.
You're a fucking morrow, dude.
Everyone knows Megan Kelly is hot.
There is a reason that Charlize Theron played her in the movie.
Don Lemon is a miserable individual, and he puts that on display weekly.
So cool.
Hi.
I love that.
That was fantastic compilation, I must admit.
That last bit with the Don Lamon.
The Megan Kelly's Hot bit.
I love that so much.
I love that because, you know, we've been talking about tonight
about how there's like a fracturing on the right
and it feels uncomfortable.
None of us really likes it at all.
But, like, there's so much more of that
where people who are on Team Sanity
actually do have each other's back
and we don't actually allow bullshit attacks on our people
and we realize who we are fighting.
It's lunatics like that.
That's exactly right.
I think that all the time
and you have had my back actually
in some of the worst moments
some of the moments that were the most
controversial in particular like that CNN
moment and I'll never forget
I was just thinking like oh my God
this is it I'm a white nationalist now
it's all over
and thank you
and someone sent me a clip of you
saying I've watched Gillian's
transformation talking about it and he goes
she's awesome and it meant
everything to me in that moment and
it did
and from that point I was like I swear to
God, I will go to war with this woman. I love that. I feel the same because when you're getting
attacked universally online, you have to get used to it when you're in our business, but you
notice the ones who don't join in and you never forget the ones who actually say something on
your behalf. So true. A hundred percent. Absolutely. And they sit quietly in the corner. And it's
like, what are we fighting for? I know. Like, who are the real enemies? Like this is, this whole tour has
had, it's not a Paul, but it's had the memory, the thought of Charlie over it in both a very
positive way, like an inspirational way, but also, you know, there's something obviously deeply
sad about not having him here. He was supposed to be with us last night in Bakersfield.
And the whole tour, we've talked about this rift within the right. We had Tucker, then we had
Ben. And all I keep thinking to myself is, the other side is literally killing us.
Can we please keep our eye on the ball?
Like, that's who the enemy is.
The enemy is the radical left that is radicalizing
young men so much to the point where they feel they had no other options
but to start killing us.
That's the problem.
Let's keep our eyes on that one.
I agree, but I would warn,
and I know this is not a popular position,
and I appreciate, I think you and I both want the same thing.
We want the same thing.
We want, honestly, to never have Gavin Newsom be president.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh my God.
They're like, hello, California, you know what I mean.
And my concern, your concern is we have to hold everyone together to get there.
My concern is that people who are a bit more moderate are deeply alarmed by Nick Fuentes.
He's not part of the coalition.
And that's what I think needs to be said.
As often as possible, this is.
not what it means to be a conservative.
No, it isn't.
He's here.
Oh, God.
He's powerful.
Well done.
Well played, sir.
No, he's not.
He's definitely not.
I mean, look, we've always had fringy, weird people who are popular and because they say
really crazy.
And in his case, like, genuinely, and I, trust me, I do not throw this word around because
I've been called this word in all the other words.
But truly, he says very racist.
stuff. He uses the N-word. He uses all the most derogatory slurs for people. It's like
he's a very fringy person, but I also understand the interest in him because he's a compelling
messenger when he's not saying those things, and because really what's most interesting
about him is why he's popular, like the disaffected young men who are gravitating that way. That's
what's exactly what I was fighting about on CNN is that if you continue to demonize these
young boys, they are going to lean into that. They are vomiting on your woke ideology and you
are creating an entire generation of racists. You are forcing them into tribalism. This is what is
so galling, so galling, watching the leftists talk about Nick Fuentes, like he's a right-wing problem.
Like he was created by right-wingers and all of his followers now, those are created by right-wingers.
That's not at all what happened.
The left has been demonizing young boys, in particular white boys, for 15 plus years now.
They get blamed for literally everything.
They have to go to school and sit through Black History Month and Women's History Month and Pride Month.
And all the while they're told that they're to blame for everything.
And then when it's time to apply for colleges, they're told you're not getting in.
You're white.
We don't take whites.
It's basically what all these schools are saying.
they get told they're toxicly masculine by the same women
they had to celebrate for all the months in high school
they get out and they're they're disaffected they're pissed
they're angry and he's giving a voice to it
which so devastating is that you bring up Charlie
and Charlie was clearly the bulwark to this kind of crazy
and at God he's so missed
he's so missed in our household
I see my son loved him
and um they met right
So I actually didn't really know about Charlie, and my son had been listening to him, and of course, I started to hear, like, oh, he's a racist.
Oh, and he's, you know, he's a misogynist, and I thought, like, I should maybe just, you know, why don't I just want to sit here and just watch one of these videos with you, honey?
And we began watching Charlie Kirk together, and we would laugh hysterically and video after video, after real.
And I thought, like, this guy's lovely.
He loves his wife.
He loves his kids.
He talks about being chivalrous on a date.
He speaks to everyone.
He works to bridge ideologies.
I got rap music.
That's the most disgusting shit I have ever heard about women.
And then there's this guy telling my son how to behave like a gentleman.
Yes, please.
And it's just, he's so missed.
I know.
He's missed.
It's one of the things I want to talk to Eric about tomorrow, about Charlie and his advice
for young men in particular on a dating front, and I wonder whether she's going to pick up
that mantle.
You know, I wonder whether that's something she can do.
Anyway, that's happening 24 hours from now.
It's pretty incredible.
One of the things I've been watching you speak out more and more about, and we've had some
of it in that clip, is the men and women's sports thing and the men and women's faces thing.
Yeah.
And I got one for you.
I got one to keep.
I can't believe we're actually talking about that.
this. Yeah. I get into these conversations. It's like, you know, the Olympics is doing a new study
to see if men are stronger than women. I'm like, get the fuck out. Right. Really? Oh my God.
What do you think they're going to find? They've got the best scientists in the world. That's going to crazy.
I just cannot believe we're talking about this, but I'm here for it. So you know on that fight,
it's two steps, one step forward, two steps backward. You know, like we make progress and then we
get drawn back. And that, that leads me to, do you guys remember, do you remember,
You know the name Kayla Lemieux?
Yeah, a couple of you know it.
Do you remember the Canadian shop teacher?
Now you're starting to get it.
Right?
A Canadian shop teacher, who is male?
Is this the Maryland teacher?
Yes, yes.
Okay, I'm for sure going to jail because of you,
because I'd never heard of this,
and was Googling, like, man, boobs, ninth graders.
The FBI is showing up tonight at my door.
You'll be there with my producers.
You're good.
There's another one.
That's the setup.
So there's another Kayla Lemieux.
Only this one's ours.
He's American.
And he's teaching ninth graders in Baltimore, Maryland.
And he is showing up like this.
Watch this video.
When the song, come on, let me see you get gone.
Baby mama, this song.
Been pregnant for way too long.
To love.
Now tell the DJ, turn it all.
you're getting so worked up about some guy.
This one is different.
He's honest and he's sweet.
He would never do anything to hurt me.
He's a guy.
Besides, oh, oneness, you can't beat him.
He has no weaknesses.
He's gonna...
I think he does, Meg.
I truly think.
He does.
OmG.
This is broken by lives of TikTok.
Chia Ritchett, and also picked up by Revolved News.
This is deeply disturbing.
This is still going on in our schools.
In Baltimore, Maryland, these kids have to walk in and see,
I'm not sure about the pregnancy prosthetic,
but those breasts, his official school photo,
has those enormous fake breasts in it.
Look at this.
What would you do if this were your son's teacher or daughters?
I would pull him out.
I would definitely pull him out
I would like to see some of the Jillian Michaels
from the biggest loser
deal with that person
I actually already have had to deal
with the principal over two issues this year
not one like this
but one where the kids were celebrating
Charlie dying
my kids were devastated
and my daughter's like I can't believe this is happening
I had to pull them out of school
for days
because they're like
they're conservative kids
and my daughter's like
I'm like honey are you okay
she's like no mom I'm of course I'm not
okay. And it's like these schools are allowing this crazy. I don't care what this weirdo does.
I'm sorry. I don't care what this person does in their bedroom. But the fact that the schools are
allowing this kind of crazy. Can you imagine if you and I just showed up to teach ninth grade
and started talking about our sexual fetishes? Not that I have any. I don't, of course. But can you
imagine? Like just as a straight person or as a person who's seemingly more normal, we would be
thrown out of there in a second. And instead we're having to fight with crap like this. I had one
teacher go after my son from my political beliefs. What? And I'll throw that kid to the
wolves. I'm like, listen, you've got to fight your own fight. But this is my fight that this
bastard was taking up with my son. What was he doing? My son was writing down some issues and
concerns that they asked him to express with regard to California politics. He's a, he's a
how much time you have. He had a lot to say.
And the teacher's like, well,
someone has clearly been brainwashed by
their parents. Whoa.
And he came home and, you know, he thought
it was, like he could handle it,
but you could tell he was irked.
And then this guy started penalizing him
and being punitive and making him.
So he ended up in a debate
with a girl
about being transgender.
And she was saying, you know,
trans women are women. And he goes,
so if I caught off my
testicles and my penis.
I'm a girl tomorrow,
and the guy punished him and sat him out of sports.
And I called the principal,
and I'm like, I'm confused.
Either you're allowing these debates in school,
or you're not,
but you've penalized my son
for his position?
What other words would you like him to use
to engage in this debate?
This kind of crazy in school is rampant.
Do you live in Orange County?
No. Okay, that's your problem.
I know. I know. I know. Have you guys had any of this with teachers? Our poor friend who's on the school board is fighting these fights every day now. I mean, we've had this many, many times in New York. And of course, we now famously left New York City because the teachers were so insane. But I mean, that's true insanity. And not only is that insanity what we saw up there, it is a sexual fetish that he's working out on children.
I see that. I'm like, I don't even, I don't want to call the principal. I want to call the police.
Like, think about it. If a man came into school, a male teacher came into school, an actual male teacher, and wore skin tight shorts so tight you could see every, everything. That's what you do. You would, you would think about calling the police on this person. How is this any different? Is this so much grosser?
But what's crazy is that the straight teacher would be thrown out of school because nobody would worry about people.
being called transphobic.
Yeah, that's right.
And so it's these pejoratives that they utilize to silence people.
You have to be willing to, honestly, to get up on that cross.
Because you will pay a price.
You know it, I know it.
You pay a price for calling this out.
Yes.
Did you see, though, we now have a new friend in Joy Reed.
Yes.
Yes.
We're feeling really good about Joy Reed now.
I mean, I'm stunned to tell you I'm actually being sincere.
She came out, we'll roll the soundlight.
We played it the other day, but here's Joy Reid on this poor woman, Tish Hyman,
who got thrown out of the gold's gym, right here,
who got thrown out of the gold's gym because she objected to a man being in the women's locker room.
Watch.
I would be disturbed.
I'm telling you, I would be alarmed.
I'm alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies.
If I saw a penis,
in the ladies rock a room
I would freak out too
I don't I'm just
I mean this is nothing against
trans anybody what is saying is
I turn around and I see
a pee pee
a penis in front of me inside of the room
I would probably go to management
and say wait a minute why is there somebody
a naked man in this room because
just the world we live in
just from a safety standpoint
and just from a you know from a privacy
standpoint I would so I
can see why she would have gone and reported to management, there's a man naked in the band.
Now, if they clarified and they said, well, trans, blah, okay, but I think they should take
her concerns also seriously. Because if she's uncomfortable, does she not have the right to be,
at least uncomfortable with this situation, is what I'm saying.
Yeah. I just want to say, you're welcome.
Because truly, I'm thrilled to have her join the fight.
But the reason she joined the fight
is because you join the fight
and I joined the fight and you join the fight
and we made her join the fight.
Tish Heimann made her join the fight.
Great, better late than never
because it's her side, that's the problem
and they're much more likely to listen to her
than they are to us.
I, you know, I had to really stop
and think about my feelings on this
and I thought like, Jillian,
if you really want what's best,
then you celebrate this,
you commend her, you give her her flowers.
And that's what we're doing.
Good for you, Joy Reid.
Thanks for joining in.
And tomorrow she'll be ripping on our white woman tears.
Yeah, no, there's fine.
This woman single-handedly pushed every liberal I know out of MSNBC.
That's how intense.
I mean, she's, okay, she's going to help us on this issue now.
But back to our other issue, there's no one more responsible for those messages about young white men than Joy Reid.
I mean, she's not forgiven for all of that.
I mean, she's never seen a white person that she doesn't like,
unless, I guess there's a couple.
Like the Nicole Wallace is of the world.
The women who will genuflect when they see the joy reeds of the world.
Like, they kiss up to her, they tell her how smart she is,
they pretend her Harvard degree is real.
Those are the, she likes those folks.
But if we're going to win on the women's sports issue
and the women's rights issue,
we're going to need the joy reads of the world.
We're going to need everybody because you still have massive
insanity here in California and other states
just like it. You're completely right and I
think about how I
probably was a joy read
kind of character to people
like yourself and when I started
to come around you guys opened the door
you engaged me in conversation
you were gracious you didn't beat me
over the head and be like you dumb ass we told you
for all these years. That didn't happen
and so I would like to
try and be as gracious
and say thanks for contributing on this
issue. So tonight in the audio
is a friend of mine named Carrie Prejean Boller.
And yes, she's former beauty queen.
You may remember her as Carrie Prejean.
She's been married for a while now.
And she and Britt Mayer would come on my show together to Californians
when we were first launching, like 2021.
This is before, like, I was really getting serious about this issue.
And they talked about this issue in terms I was like,
oh, my God, oh, they would not use preferred pronouns.
You know, they were, like, hardcore.
And we went from me being like, wow, they're tough.
To me being like, oh, my God, they're my teachers.
And they, same.
They were that way with me.
They were kind.
They were gentle, but they stood up for their principals.
And they were two of my mentors in pulling me along on this issue.
And so I do feel the need to pay it forward to others because I think some people use it against you.
Like, there was a video circulating online recently about me at NBC, like talking to,
kids who said they were trans and being, you know, kind, loving and supportive. I wouldn't
be anything other than kind and loving to so-called trans kids, which I don't believe is a thing
now, today. But I wouldn't have messaged it anywhere near the way I did on NBC. But I think
we have to have room in our hearts for people who have come along on this, because it used
to be a minuscule number who we believe were genuinely gender confused, genuinely had dysphoria.
and now we know it's a social contagion that's being exploited by people who want to make money off of sterilizing our children.
That's it.
It's a multi-billion dollar industry.
You know who speaks brilliantly about this is actually a gentleman named Chris Moritz,
who had a great episode with Tucker on this that I encourage you to watch,
and he takes you all the way down the rabbit hole, and it's terrifying stuff.
I could give you an example.
there is something, the human rights campaign
who I, oh my God, I used to donate to
I spoke at the frickin' dinners, I was at the, I was trying to get,
I was fighting for gay marriage and things have changed
and we've crossed that finish line quite some time ago
and now we're here. So the human rights campaign has something
called an HEI score. So a health equity index score
that they give to medical institutions like Johns Hopkins, for example.
And if you get a bad score, if you don't provide ample gender access, gender-affirming care,
and it has to be perfect, everything has to be, gender-affirming care for kids, the whole thing.
If you do anything wrong, if people question it, bad score.
The bad score costs them in grants and donations, all of it.
Go to the page, H-E-I-Score, the HRC's website, Pfizer, the bottom, all funded by Pfizer.
By the way, your comment reminded me, don't you think the LGBT needs to break up with a TQ?
I don't really love the umbrella to begin with.
You got to remember, like, I am like a classic Gen Xer.
We wanted to get rid of labels.
It was supposed to be one-race human, love is love.
I don't know how we got here.
Yeah.
I'll pass on the whole acronym, thanks.
One of my audience members tonight said to me backstage, she came to the VIP.
She said, I want to thank you because she's just.
tall, beautiful woman, but she was like, I was always an athlete, and they would have tried
to trans me.
And it's true.
Like, they're not allowing any gender nonconformity, these lunatics on the left.
And I, too, was a tomboy, and you were a tomboy, and we were...
All of us did turn out to be gay.
They didn't trans me.
I mean, I'm straight, but they definitely would have tried to trans me, because I look like
a little boy.
I had little boy haircut.
I only wore dirty jeans.
I wanted to play in the mud.
Literally made mud pies every summer all summer long.
Like, I was, didn't want to dress.
And look at me now.
I have frills.
I mean, I never wear frills.
But I'm just saying, like, that's what's so sick about it, right?
They've been a proceeding with abandon
with this bizarre social experiment that makes them rich on our children.
So, I mean, that's a long way of saying, welcome Joy Reed.
All right, we've got to wrap it up, Jillian.
I love you so much.
Thank you for everything you've done.
Thank you for doing this tonight.
Philly and Bibles, everyone.
She's so fit.
Okay.
We have one more guests for you tonight.
So, I first was introduced to Maureen Callahan.
Yeah.
When I read her, I read her in the New York Post,
and all I ever thought was, thank God she's not mad at me.
And I fell in love with her writing
because she just had such a way of saying exactly what you thought,
but you didn't know how to say it quite in the way that she could say it.
And I started putting her on the show,
and at first she was a little shy, believe it or not.
She actually was a little shy.
She got past that real quick.
And now she's literally one of our favorite people
and definitely favorite guests of all time.
Enjoy this one.

Hey, everyone. It's me, Megan Kelly. I've got some exciting news. I now have my very own channel on Sirius XM. It's called the Megan Kelly channel. And it is where you will hear the truth, unfiltered, with no agenda, and no apologies. Along with the Megan Kelly show, you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan, Emily Jashinsky, Jesse Kelly, Real Clear Politics, and many more. It's bold, no BS news. Only on a
Megan Kelly Channel, SiriusXM 111 and on the Sirius XM app.
I am a cultural criminal prosecutor.
We really are bringing to light the underbelly of celebrity culture.
We're safe space for all drawmakers.
And just like that, has been taken out back and shot.
Gosh, that's not the way I thought this was going to go.
All those celebrities befouling Venice to celebrate this bullshit, in my opinion, allegedly, reportedly.
And someone in the back would hand that baby over.
She's the gift that keeps on giving.
She doesn't know it's comic relief, which kind of makes it even funnier.
The children of the community are the children of the community.
Okay.
You got that?
I have been dying to talk to you about Michelle Obama's ongoing midlife meltdown, her stegosaurus hairdos.
We don't articulate our pain.
We all want to know what can we?
We do to help you.
Do something.
That's ridiculous person.
Let's go.
That is a man who is fully emasculated if you ask me.
Hi.
You look amazing.
Oh, you look even cooler.
I'm doing something really generous for you.
And you're going to absolutely love them.
This, we're just going to put into a different eyes.
And then I just dump them.
Just like that.
Megan.
You keep saying
Megan Markle, you know I'm Sussex now.
It's very important to me.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
It's, you know, it's a lot.
I just, I can't absorb the enormity of your life.
I don't even...
Maybe you should put the drink down
so you could pay better attention.
This is a window into the tiny little brain at work.
Nailed it.
What they would call a basic bitch.
Cheers, May.
Cheers, dear.
Have you been? Have you been?
She's a shitty fucking excuse for a journalist.
She's no, she's no journalist, okay?
The nation indeed, link the world, is watching.
These women are under immense pressure.
They are up there with Buzz Aldrin and other space travelers who have paved the way.
Take us off space!
Please don't call it a ride.
That is not a friggin' right.
There was nothing frivolous about what we did.
Please help me welcome Maureen Callahan.
Hi. How amazing was that? I'm like crying. I was like, I didn't, I don't even remember saying
half of that shit. You've definitely come out of your shell. I, yeah, when you said when I started
coming on, I was very shy. I was so shy. I was so, I don't know, you sort of teased something out of
me. Like, I think you saw a little bit of our share, like we do have a shared,
perverse sense of humor, for sure.
When the blonde origin came on,
Jillian was backstage, I said, I forgot about that
because we've done so much in so little time.
So many of them.
Yeah.
Well, it was your writing.
Your writing showed me who you were,
and then when you were on camera in the beginning,
you had natural, like, nerves.
But it was clear to me who the person was.
And if you can just get past those nerves,
I knew that person would start talking to me on the TV,
and that's exactly what happened.
And now you're in full flower,
man. It's the most fun. The nerve is the most fun and I get to work it all out with so many of
you like-minded people. I didn't know there were so many out there. Yes. So, I mean, we might as well
start with Megan Markle. She's your problem now. She lives with you. True. I should have actually
before you came on stage said, like,
the queen of mean,
Maureen Callahan. And I want people to call me
the monarch of media?
Megan Kelly, we should not walk into any room
without being announced, because that's what
the Duchess of Sussex would like.
Well, this was, this is, like,
when I read it, I thought this can't be real,
I actually read the paragraph over
to make sure it was too good.
so she's got this journalist
who is going to visit her
at this borrowed Upper East Side townhouse
and it doesn't say
who owns the townhouse
but they're wealthy enough to have a glass elevator
not for nothing it might be Amy Griffin
stop it might be she has a big townhouse
on the Upper East Side the one who wrote
the tell that Maureen took down
but in any minute keep going
so the journalist shows up and knocks on the door
and some kind of house manager
answers the door. And Megan is nowhere to be seen, apparently, but she's in the house
somewhere. There's nobody else in the house. And then the house manager says,
Megan, Duchess of Sussex. And it's so deep, it's so unhinged. It's like,
it's Norma Desmond on steroids. It's like, it's not even like Megan is the one
arriving. Right. You would think she would. She's already in the house.
But where are we coming from, like the cupboard, like the sofa?
Were we in the attic going through?
You know, it's so, like I was thinking it would be like going to your studio.
Normally when I go there, like Abby's there.
And that's it.
And you're not even there yet half the time.
And it would be like her opening the door for me and going, Megan Kelly,
queen of podcasting with you nowhere to be seen.
Yeah.
Yeah. I actually pulled her Harper's Bazaar article. We talked about it the other day a little bit with Link, but I thought there was more gold to be mined here. So I want to go through a couple of these quotes, okay? You pointed this out on the nerve. We didn't get to it. Has there ever been an article written about Megan Markle that did not raise the 11-year-old little Megan Markle, and you know what she did, Maureen?
Yes, she wrote a letter to a dish detergent company.
She was assailing the patriarchy.
This origin story bugs me like no other
because she makes it sound like it was an auto-generated act
of incipient feminism, and really it was a class project.
Oh, it was? I didn't know that.
It was a class project, and I would like to put out an open call,
just much as at the nerve we're looking for Stedman Graham,
I think he's buried somewhere on that estate in Montecito.
We have a silver alert out for him.
I would like anyone who went to school with Megan in sixth grade,
like any of the boys especially who wrote that letter to,
what was it?
Procter & Gamble.
They managed to put that into every article about her
because they want you to know how incredibly strong and brave she was,
even at age 11.
And that winds up in this article as well.
The writer says,
When I ask Megan, what she hopes her kids see when they see her working,
she tells me,
I hope they see the value of being brave.
Sure.
Okay, but then here's the best part.
She follows it up with.
They saw it when the jam was just a pot on the stove bubbling.
What?
So she's courage because she boiled the jam?
and the children saw the jamboyle,
which is their inspo to be courageous?
I'm going to push back a little.
I want to give some credit for her bravery.
We talked about this, like just last week on your show.
I nominate this for photo of the years, I said to Megan.
Like, you can give me images of war toward Ukraine, anything.
The image of a drunken Prince Harry leering at Chris Jenner's
rack at her 70th birthday party while Megan stands there like an imbecile just beaming at Chris
while her loser husband is over here like oh oh that's some bravery she's taking some
this week that actually was pretty pretty courageous of her all right wait and I have one one more
okay this is bizarre this is the first time I've actually brought notes out to the stage on this
tour but this is just too good I have Maureen here I have Megan Markle and Harper's
And what I have here is this, the weirdest comment about Harry.
She puts her hand on her heart when she talks about her husband.
Don't you all do that when you're talking about your husband?
I never, I don't go anywhere with it.
My D, that sounds weird.
You're not pledging allegiance to your D.
Okay.
So she says, H, he loves me so.
boldly, fully, and then she says, no one in the world loves me more than Harry.
Now that's a strange thing, I'm sorry, but literally think about it. Just take a second to think
about it. Who ever talks about their spouse that way? Like, have I, no one loves me more than
Doug. Who's ranking the love in their life? And like, and the spouse is number one, he's number
one. He loves me even than anybody. Meanwhile, I don't think it's a stiff competition in
Megamarko's life.
Oh, great point.
Great point.
It's also, it's evidence, A, that she's a terrible actress.
She's, you know, it's very literal.
And then she's always saying how much he loves her
without ever saying how much she loves him.
Yes, her narcissism.
Right?
It's complete narcissistic.
It's same with the children.
Like the writing of the letters of the emails every night.
to both individually before
bed, which is not happening, but she
says, is so that when they get
older, they can see how much she
loved them. And
my prediction is they will both be leaving
the continental United States as soon
as they're of age, never to return.
Totally. Especially when they find out they have a whole
castles that are available to them across
Pond. Now that Andrew's out of the picture,
things have loosened up even more.
Hanging out with Tyler Perry.
Yeah. With the King of England.
Okay. So she's
the gift that keeps on giving. Now, there are another couple of weirdos from, yeah, California
again, I'm sorry, that we need to get to that you and I have not yet had the chance to discuss.
And they are Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the stars of Wicked. I mean, our whole night
has turned into sort of an LGBTQ theme between Moynihan moving in with one of our audience
members. I couldn't tell of his man or woman and my discussion with Jillian. And now you tell me
whether these two are on an LGBT
quest
because Cynthia
is openly non-binary
and she
there's no they Cynthia sorry
was on the cover of
GQ like the men's issue
tracks okay
but something's going on between these two
and I don't know what is it
here's a little
today we get to do
popular can you believe that we do
so great
That joy he wanted to infuse in every frame.
Like he shook the arm too hard, and she had to, like, caress it,
and then she was picking at the diamond necklace,
and they've basically been all over each other.
Oh, yeah.
Have you seen the one of them on the red carpet
where Ariana is doing an interview, and she's fine?
And Cynthia Revo, she takes those long coffin nails come in,
and she starts digging under Ariana's collar
and very theatrically, like, moving the necklace around,
and it's, you see these interviews with them,
and if I were conducting an interview like that,
which I wouldn't be, because it's not my trade anymore,
but, you know, I would say, like, should I leave?
I realize this is, like, a press tour for your movie,
but, like, it seems like you two would care to be alone.
I'd like to leave.
I'm uncomfortable.
They're so bizarre, and I don't know whether this is a publicity,
thing, Maureen? Do you think this is all
for publicity? I think it's kind of both. I think it's
weird. I think it's like, part of it
is like they're getting a ton of
clicks, like eyeballs or eyeballs.
It's kind of like
Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson.
Is that fake? That was fake.
That was fake? That was fake.
I think she needs a little makeup.
I agree with you.
I agree with you. This is my problem
with Pam Anderson. That
is at least one facelift.
At least one facelift.
So you can't go around going like, I'm all natural,
and I'm showing you how to age without makeup
when you've had probably a deep plain facelift.
Yeah.
How do you feel about the recent rejection
of the body positivity movements, right?
We're no longer celebrating fat.
We are admitting that thin is healthier
and more attractive and makes you feel better,
like Amy Schumer, who's now, like, at this moment,
scrubbing all the fat photos from her Instagram,
so we can only see the newly thin, Amy Schumer.
Thanks a lot, say all the girls who packed on the pounds
thinking they'd be really happy like Amy Schumer
and can't afford the Monjaro and the trainer
and the new clothing and the chef
and all the things Amy Schumer can have to get a thin.
Well, you know, Amy's husband is a chef.
That worked out.
So I have several theories about Amy Schumer
and the whole body positivity, like the aband,
abandonment of it. So she has scrubbed all but four photos from Instagram. And she's currently
engaged in conducting private photo shoots at someone's house where she's doing the broken doll
poses, which is like what the super skinny models do. And her kid is like basically in all
manner of like life-threatening positions. And she's just like, but I'm skinny. I'm skinny.
look at me. I also
think that, so she
made a huge deal about her husband being
autistic. Did
you know this? Her husband's autistic?
No. He's just an asshole.
But that was her very
tortured explanation for why
she was with this guy for years
she would say, do I look good?
And he would say, no.
Well, he's autistic.
He's on the spectrum, Megan.
Yeah.
That explains it.
I'm a little over the body positivity thing, I have to say,
the fake body positivity, because that's what we're realizing.
It was all fake.
They never believed it.
All they really wanted was Ozempic.
As soon as it was available, they all ran on it.
And now, I mean, at least she admits it.
I think, you know, a lot of these people, like, want you to believe, like, the Jennifer
Aniston, it's just water.
It's just water.
I just drink a lot of water.
That's it.
Lizzo was the same way.
Who?
Lizzo.
Oh.
you know who was like very it was almost a militant stance and now she's lost half her body weight too
totally what about all the fat people they left behind where's Oprah in this fight
where is Oprah well fresh dirt on Stedman's grave and Montecito that's where she's at I think we
know where she is yeah now I've seen you taking aim lately at Sarah Jessica Parker
indeed and not only for her terrible program sex in the city reboot indeed
but you've got some questions about whether she's authentic, Maureen,
and whether she does things like actually wears the beats headphones
on the subway in New York.
You thought that might be, as the kids say, inauthentic.
Inauthentic, here she is.
Oh, yeah.
There she is.
She's just stars.
They're just like us.
They ride the subway.
Yeah, sure, this is totally authentic.
like, look, she thinks she's so cool.
She's just hanging out, down in Stonewall.
That's no accident.
Because she's an ally, Megan.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, that's what that is.
You're right.
She's in, like, 80 pounds of hair extensions.
Jewelry that none of us would ever openly wear on the subway.
Right.
With our nose in a book and huge beat, like, I will never blame a victim,
but you are asking for it.
You are telegraphing to the nearest mentally a homeless.
person. I would love it if you would shove me on the tracks. That would be really authentic.
Why do we dislike Sarah Jessica Parker? I think I find her extremely saccharine and sweet and
like overly girlish. And if you really think about her voice, you know, it's a biological fact
that as we age, our voices get deeper. Men are women. She's always like this. She's like 60 and
It's not like she's baby Jane.
She is just wearing 80 pounds of hair extensions
and running down cobblestones in New York in six-inch heels.
We're not worried about breaking an ankle, let alone.
That's why I call her my favorite Sprightly 900-year-old heroin.
She's, no one's as bad as Jamie Kern Lima on the high voice.
You know, that one who interviewed Megan Markle,
and she came up with It Cosmetics, IT cosmetics, IT cosmetics,
made a bunch of it, but she's, her voice has gone Stanley up here.
I can't even do it.
too low. It's so annoying.
It's like helium, like you suck
a bunch of, it's like, oh, yes.
The power
of yet. It's my
friend, Megan Markle.
Megan, don't you? And you know
Megan, like, fucking hates her,
right? She's like, she's a billionaire.
She's up in Montecito.
She's got, like, next to no friends.
This woman has a podcast. She's a ton of money.
So, you know.
There's no one
less happy than Michelle Obama.
Have you been stundle?
We really haven't had a chance to talk about her racism.
We've talked about her misery and her hatred for Barack.
That's obvious.
But the racism was kind of a new strain that she decided to let loose just in time for her book tour.
It's a weird way to market a book.
I hate whites.
Maybe there's a market for that.
She put like a fresh top spin on that old hoary baseball.
Now we've got racism coming our way.
exciting. It's exciting, right? It is kind of exciting. I'm not going to lie. Whenever I see
she's done a new interview, I'm like, play, play, play, play, play. It is exciting. What do you think
that is, just nonstop grievance? Like, it's misery. It really kind of does go under the general
theme of misery. It doesn't have a nice thing to say about the country, the husband, motherhood,
being first lady, living in the White House, or whites. I do have a theory. So,
So, and I think this is a tether between Megan, Markle, and Michelle Obama.
It makes them special, and it makes them seem serious.
Like, they're not really deep intellects.
They're not original thinkers.
They're not funny.
Maureen, she went to Princeton.
We've talked about the thesis, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
And we've talked about the affirmative action.
Yeah, and like Christopher Hitchens, the late great Christopher Hitchens,
found that thesis, and it was very controversial because this was when the Obama's
were first a warning, and everybody was falling in love with them.
And he said...
Not according to her.
Not according to her.
Not according to her revisionist history.
And he said he read that thesis, and it was nothing resembling the English language.
He couldn't make heads or tails of it.
And I believe I found the same thesis, and he was dead on.
Like, it makes zero sense.
So I don't know how you can be granted entree to an Ivy League, lesser competitive.
No offense to anyone who went to Princeton.
and then become the first black first lady
and then say America is super racist
except for those two times
they overwhelmingly and enthusiastically
voted your husband into office
and the likes of Brad Pitt and Oprah
were crying in Chicago's park
and put you on the magazine covers
and made you personally rich
and talked about you being the answer
to Democrat politics
and possibly the next presidential candidate
I think we can all agree
that ship has sailed
don't you think?
She's ruined her
own brand? I think that's
probably true. All right, no, wait. In the time we
have left, I want to talk about you. You, madam.
All right.
How did you get this way?
Oh, I'm the product of a difficult home.
And so, like, you learn how to read
a room very, very
quickly, like by the time I was eight,
I liken myself
to at the level of, like, a top
FBI criminal profiler.
Like, I can tell, get out. Get out. Get out.
of the room, it's about to blow up.
Very useful.
And I also just, I, the people I've always really admired the most, but like in a fun
way, like just, just drawn to them, very compelling, were always the people who would
say the thing everyone was thinking, but was too afraid to say because you think like no
one else can be thinking this way, right?
Like people, but like the George Carlin's of the world, the Joan Rivers of the world.
Yes.
You're in that category.
You say what you think, and, you know, you catch a lot of flags sometimes, but you don't care.
No, I don't.
And that's like a superpower.
It's so liberating.
It really is.
And, you know, I have noticed because I've only been doing it for, you know, a few years.
Because when I was on Fox, I didn't really, I wasn't really in the opinion-giving business.
I was much more of a hard news person.
But the more you do it, the easier it gets.
You know, that's something for everybody to know.
The more you do it, the easier it gets.
And it is liberating, like the shirts read free.
free, free, it is liberating to say what's real, you know? And you can only do it with practice.
Anyway, you do it, but you also do it with humor. So is there, is it just the Irish thing?
How did you become so funny? Well, that's, thank you. I mean, both of my parents were very funny
people. It's definitely part Irish. It's definitely part, I think, to me, the funniest thing,
the biggest powers, and if you can laugh at somebody or something, instead of,
giving in to them just making you angry or bitter.
Like, if you can see the lunacy or the,
just how utter, like, Megan Markle is such a perfect,
like our with love, Megan, like, that thing wrote itself
because she makes us all crazy
and we all fucking hate her and want her to go away
and she'll never go away.
So let's laugh at her.
Let's like, yeah.
People wrote in saying,
how did you guys learn your lines?
Like there was a script.
We had no lines.
We just were in character.
And it was very easy.
If you watch her for two minutes, you know exactly how to play her.
And also her submissive, terrified friends.
Oh, Daniel.
Daniel was, I would like, if I ever win an award for acting, which now we're in the acting world, you and I.
It could happen.
Astronauts, acting, what have you.
I would like to.
We've been.
Yeah.
We do it all.
I would like to thank Daniel.
He was my inspiration.
I studied him for hours and hours.
You know, she has, we're being very tough on her,
but she has a Christmas special coming up, Maureen.
I'm sure you're going to be getting your holiday decorating tips from it.
Do we feel this as a resurgence in her popularity here domestically?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know if you've seen the images of her,
the reels of her skipping jauntily through her orchard.
Yes.
Where she kind of looks like, to me, it looks like an,
alien soul has taken control of a human body, but the soul doesn't know how a human body works.
So she's kind of like, this, like, how do you, you hop, right?
That's a hop, I'm happy.
And then the entire tableau in the house is like beige upon tope upon gray.
So it's very joyful.
Even for the Christmas, she has beige Christmas decorations.
Who the hell wants beige Christmas decorations?
I think she thinks it's classic.
like, you know.
So you don't, you know, she's getting back into acting.
Do we think there's a future there?
I just think if she were a better actress,
we'd all not be on to her by now.
She thinks she's still pulling one over on us.
Yes.
Right?
Yes, exactly right.
So, finally, politics.
Yeah.
You don't go there that often.
You write about it in the Daily Mail sometimes.
You don't go there that often on the nerve.
How do you like the chance?
of the Republican Party in holding on to power going into the next presidential election.
What's your take on it?
I don't know. I think it's really too early to tell.
I think what just happened in New York, especially, is such a bellwether.
Not just because, you know, New York City, yes, it's liberal, but I really think it was a kind
of a rebuke to, like, hey, we just want change agents.
We just want change.
We can't afford to go to the grocery store still.
Donald Trump said he was going to fix it.
You didn't fix it.
We don't have the leisure of another year or two going by
to tell us that as AI is a warning
and tariffs have still impacted prices
that we just have to gut it out week after week.
And I think that's why.
And I also tend, I try not to get into politics too much
because I'm very cynical about sort of both sides.
I just think it's such the things that you have to do
and the compromises you have to make
and I'm inherently suspicious of anybody
who wants that amount of power,
I just think it's healthy to be, you know?
I'll tell you what, I'm going to make an announcement.
Are you, okay.
I know who I'm rooting for in 2020,
and it's not J.D. Vance.
Who?
It's Katie Porter.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that would be amazing.
How fun would that be?
I mean, the country would burn,
but it would be so fun watching her along the way,
get the fuck out of here!
And I think those have to be my parting words because we're over time.
Maureen, I love you.
I love you.
Thank you for all the laughs and all the fun.
Thank you, Megan.
To be continued.
Love you.
And I love all the few at times.
Thank you for coming and spending your night with us.
We'll talk to you tomorrow and I hope I see you again very soon.
Thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show.
No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
You know,
