00:00:00
well Megan Kelly looks to be parting ways with NBC her show is now cancelled Megan Kelly just landed a new gig why
00:00:07
would she given a platform in the first place we're doing this program because we believe there's an urgent need for
00:00:14
independent voices in the media landscape I know the audience you have I can reasonably guess it it's
00:00:21
enormous podcast Rumble YouTube Twitter with Elon that's the problem a lot of people in cable news Megan are fighting
00:00:31
yesterday's War they're not the problem now you're the problem ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Megan
00:00:39
Kelly kid great to see you thank you for coming hi thanks for being here all right Hi Megan how are nice to see you
00:00:50
hey Megan did you get to hear Peter teal Megan I did just the tail end just a bit
00:00:56
what do you think of Peter he's brilliant yeah yeah I mean thank God for him right it's like there's a few guys
00:01:02
in Tech with a lot of money keeping Republican candidates alive and we need every single one of
00:01:08
them go he starting early um I think all of them were here today um [Applause] um you seem incredibly uh happy as an
00:01:23
independent broadcaster and running your own show maybe uh number one am I right
00:01:28
that you're just just absolutely engaged and excited again about broadcasting because it seemed like the tail end of
00:01:36
your working for the machine was particularly challenging oh yeah tell us that's a polite way of saying it I'm
00:01:43
trying to be polite no it's fine yeah you are well the last time you kind of blew remember when you called him a
00:01:48
prick on on TV I do I do it was it was good natured it was good um yeah no I'm so I'm so much happier and it's really
00:01:57
changed my whole view on on cancel culture you know I really I'm a Believer in cancel culture now I think it
00:02:03
separates individuals from companies where they do not belong where the values are not aligned and I really
00:02:09
can't imagine being right now at NBC or frankly at Fox News in this environment and having to comport with their rules
00:02:19
on how we talk about these very dicey issues that are all over the news today I I could not do it it was just a matter
00:02:24
of time before I was cancelled yeah talk about producing a show now that is the largest you're now the largest
00:02:33
broadcaster in in the news category on YouTube crushing everybody else CNN Fox their YouTube channels uh now bow down
00:02:42
before you and you are an independent company with I understand six people yeah um six producers six producers um
00:02:49
so that is how many people at the peak NBC Fox did you have working in your group well I probably had about 15
00:02:56
producers but Fox is always lean CNN Anderson Cooper show which was you know across from us for a while minus one
00:03:03
hour had something like 100 staffers so think about it so we did not in July we did not beat CNN but we had two-thirds
00:03:10
of CNN's YouTube audience two-thirds every single Dollar in the multi-billion dollar CNN audience went into obviously
00:03:18
their live broadcasts which we Crush we Crush their numbers you know dollar to dollar in terms of like the podcast and
00:03:24
so on but let's just look at YouTube so all those resources go into their YouTube feed as well and it's got every
00:03:29
show on CNN every single talent and our one show with my six producers crushed the well came close to crushing them all
00:03:35
and did Crush CBS and NBC which was a particularly nice when you left my understanding of these deals
00:03:46
when Tucker left on Lemon um and you leave those broadcast ones it's kind of like they're paying you to not compete
00:03:52
you can't go work for another Network so were you was that the case with you if you can say it and and then you were
00:03:58
kind of forced to become an independent broadcaster I wasn't forced I was only forced to have my show end at NBC and
00:04:06
beyond that I don't think I'm at Liberty to speak of the specifics but um I was free to get another job I just wasn't
00:04:13
sure I would there was a couple of years there that were dark and depressing and
00:04:18
my industry is incredibly disgusting and toxic and awful perhaps you've watched the news and you know um and I just sat
00:04:25
on the couch thinking why would I go back into that that was terrible and it makes you a bad person and unhappy and
00:04:33
all they do is stimulate outrage all the time and then get rich off of it and you
00:04:36
have to push somebody else's agenda and I don't want to do any of that and it wasn't until the first the pandemic hit
00:04:45
and then you know we started to lose our minds on all the mandates and then George Floyd and then we really lost our
00:04:50
minds and seeing those people in the streets trying to make people put down their burgers and say black lives matter
00:04:58
is when I got up off my couch and said now it's on like I I can't stand when people make me do things I really I
00:05:07
can't stand bullies and it's in my DNA to stand up against them and so I had to get back on the air and I said to my
00:05:16
therapist who is really underpaid um what if nobody watches you know what if nobody listens it was just a podcast
00:05:25
at the time no Visual and uh he's from South Africa and he said well I'll listen I said okay great he said and
00:05:33
Doug will listen my husband I'm like well I got two and that was four years ago and now it's going great how has
00:05:39
your approach changed if at all in terms of what you want to produce and what conversations you want to have because
00:05:47
you no longer have to think well what does Roger ell's think or this NBC person or or everybody in between you
00:05:53
you actually the buck stops at your desk at your microphone you're the decider now so how what what is your framework
00:06:02
for deciding what to put on there because you do also now um suffer from hey you're in YouTube if it bleeds it's
00:06:10
lead leads if it has rage associated with it it's going to get more clicks so how do you mitigate that you know well I
00:06:16
I love my producers and a few of them have been with me for over 10 years 15 years plus from Fox News from the
00:06:23
earliest show I ever did in 2007 to now so they know me very well and they know what lights my fire and if I feel that
00:06:29
fire in the belly does it's usually not outraged it's just fire in the belly over the news then it's a good story for
00:06:35
me and that differs host to host you know what what drives you nuts what what do you need to have your say on and so
00:06:41
for me speaking of therapists it's like therapy to go out there on the set and say what I know is true right just say
00:06:48
what's true about the news and then we can argue about the meaning and our opinions on what's true but what's true
00:06:55
should not be so Up For Debate um but yeah I have a few through lines that my team always knows will get me excited
00:07:01
and since the beginning Free Speech has been one of them and the thing about the
00:07:06
cops it's not coincidental that that's what got me up because I've been at Fox you know 14 years I was there and I have
00:07:12
a brother who's a police officer he's a retired lieutenant and one of the most Honorable Men you'll ever meet in your
00:07:17
life and I am just so sick and have been so sick of the lies that have been told
00:07:21
about cops it's brutal we have law enforcement in my family as well and it's really hard to watch this yeah yes
00:07:28
it's so egregious this is is not to excuse the few bad apples that you see on the news but they are so not
00:07:33
representative of your average police officer absolutely not and it's these guys make no money you know they they
00:07:38
don't get a lot of Glory they risk their lives they risk their lives every day for us right and now on top of all that
00:07:44
they're treated like absolute by everyone the news media absolutely no qualms about ruining these guys' lives
00:07:50
before any due process and that's what the media has been doing with everyone in the past five years no due process
00:07:56
you are you're accused of anything you're guilty and there's really no Jones to figure out whether it's fair
00:08:03
and so you know given my legal background because I practiced law for a decade that's another piece of it that
00:08:08
always gets me fired up somebody being unfairly railroaded I think the topic you've been most on fire and I think
00:08:16
it's very brave is the issues around uh trans issues trans rights and maybe young children um you're not a bigot but
00:08:26
you're being framed as that when this discussion comes up maybe you could explain just what is your position
00:08:32
on biological men in locker rooms you know and and maybe kids receiving hormones or having their
00:08:43
bodies mutilated because they maybe feel like they're the opposite gender I don't
00:08:48
want to lead the witness here but I think we're more in sync on this issue than maybe most yeah I don't care what
00:08:54
they call me they can call me a bigot a Turf a trans misogynist which is not a thing
00:09:00
um I will speak truth men cannot become women period women can't become men either and
00:09:07
men and boys do not belong in women's spaces whether it's a bathroom a locker room or a sports event they
00:09:14
don't and good men do not wish to access those places and by the way even if you have
00:09:21
some empathy for someone who's genuinely struggling the problem is the camel's knows because as soon as you allow one
00:09:28
person who may be genuinely struggling with this issue into your 17-year-old girl's locker room that opportunity will
00:09:35
be exploited by openly Bad actors and when girls start getting hurt in these private spaces as they already have been
00:09:42
listen to Riley gain's testimonial about what happened to her with Leah Thomas about how he was in there he was looking
00:09:49
at her she was naked she had no idea an intact male was entering her locker room
00:09:54
the humiliation she felt that counts as injury but we could go well beyond that because it's crossed over to actual
00:10:00
physical so I am willing to fight to my dying day against that without judging trans people themselves what you do in
00:10:07
the privacy of your own home or your own life is your business not mine unless you make it my business and then you
00:10:12
will hear from me and if you make it my child's business times 10 and in your answer is empathy for somebody who is
00:10:24
suffering from gender dysmorphia and and who's struggling with that issue uh um and you don't have a problem with those
00:10:31
individuals as you said two or three times in that one answer yet you could give that disclaimer you could say you
00:10:37
have empathy or sympathy for them and the only thing they're going to hear is you know something they project into it
00:10:42
so it got a lot easier for me on the name calling in response to this issue once I realized the vast majority of
00:10:48
people who want to call me a bigot or a Turf are men they are men posing as women so these are men trying to shame
00:10:56
me out of standing up for my daughter and myself and my fellow women on our safe spaces it's that's the end of it
00:11:03
they can take a seat because these men don't know the first thing they're showing up for at for mammograms you
00:11:09
ladies know what it's like the older ones like me sitting in the mamogram office where you're out there waiting to
00:11:14
go in and you're in your little robe and you're worried you're nervous you got to
00:11:17
do it when you hit a certain age you're but you're you know what you're there for you guys have it on the other end um
00:11:24
you're like I I hope I don't have cancer they say I need to go here I got to find
00:11:28
it early you're sitting looking at other women and now we're having men men sneak
00:11:32
in there not because they're actually worried because a very very small percentage can get but because they want
00:11:36
to feel like women same thing at the OBGYN get out get out of our spaces I'm sick of this what I have
00:11:44
empathy for is us women and girls somebody else can worry about the feelings of the men who want to access
00:11:49
have can I um do you think that there are individuals who have been historically
00:11:58
repressed and have now felt the freedom to come out and say that they are a different
00:12:05
gender or do you think that there's something else socially going on what's what's what's going on and and you know
00:12:11
why do you think that this has become such a prominent issue of late in the last couple of years yes 100% it has
00:12:17
exploded as a social contagion and that's been documented by many people from very smart woman at Brown to
00:12:23
Abigail shrier and her mustre book irreversible damage and Beyond uh but this is a social contag this is not
00:12:30
populating in the way that it is just because we're more accepting now and if that were true you would see it
00:12:37
everywhere um but what you're seeing it is more concentrated in more leftist States cities regions and that's because
00:12:44
the more of it kids are exposed to the more they gravitate toward it and in that way it is like anorexia I just had
00:12:51
Kelly J Kee in a pre-tape show today she's airing tomorrow she's an activist on this issue and she was saying if you
00:12:57
go on YouTube and you Google anorexia or bulimia they won't show you the videos but if you Google top surgery which is
00:13:05
the super sweet way of saying a double myectomy usually for 15 or 14 year old girls you can see all you want all day
00:13:12
long and what's happening more and more is autistic children or children someplace on the
00:13:19
Spectrum stumble on to this and in many cases have obsessive thinking to begin with and go down a rabbit hole that
00:13:25
takes them hours on end down Reddit or one of these other websites sites and it does become an obsessive thought and
00:13:32
then obsessive behavior and then you have a medical community that has submitted to affirm the standard is
00:13:39
affirm not are your parents going through a divorce did you have really bad grades was there a sexual assault in
00:13:45
your past which is so often the case for a lot of the young girls in particular no you're not even allowed to go there
00:13:50
or you're considered engaging in conversion therapy it's crossover that's it puberty blockers cross- seex hormones
00:13:58
those two things alone in that order high high likelihood you are sterile you are sterilizing yourself and your
00:14:04
parents are allowing it just puberty blockers into to cross- seex hormones that's it never mind chopping off body
00:14:09
parts and then they'll go to school and they'll say I'm no longer a girl and the
00:14:13
school will hide it from the people who love that child most their parents if the parents aren't on the affirm
00:14:20
board in New York City where I fled with my children because they were trying to
00:14:24
do this to our schools and our classes that's the that's the policy private and public you do not tell the parents it's
00:14:32
a secret what kind of country are we getting to be where we allow secrets between grown teachers and minors that
00:14:39
the parents aren't allowed to know that's what we used to call grooming right it opens up a very
00:14:46
dangerous door and why has this become politicized and how has it become politicized that I
00:14:53
don't understand I don't understand how frankly anyone can vote Democrat right now I just don't get it I know that
00:15:01
there's a priority of issues right and for some people it's oh David's here he just woke
00:15:10
up for some people s or democrat what it's abortion or it's uh you know I can't think of the issues that would
00:15:19
make you vote Democrat even though I used to vote Democrat I'm a registered independent I voted in eight
00:15:23
presidential elections I voted Democrat four times and Republican four I'm about
00:15:27
as independent as you can get well let me can we let's shift gears to the election then so um yeah you piak his
00:15:35
interest I didn't think that was going to be funny but so Megan I mean in addition to being a great broadcaster
00:15:40
you actually are a great uh political pundit I would say and prognosticator I remember being on your show at the
00:15:46
beginning of the Republican primary when DeSantis was riding High making the case
00:15:50
for DeSantis obviously that was totally wrong and you're like no you know like it's going to be Trump you know the
00:15:56
Republican part is not done with Trump and you were exactly right um do you what's your take on where
00:16:01
things are at right now and do you do you have a take on who's going to win I mean of course we all want to know that
00:16:06
right that's why we follow these polls religiously because we want to Peak into what's going to happen I mean I think
00:16:12
Trump right now is better positioned to win than he's ever been in any election before if you look at where he is let's
00:16:18
take the New York Times Sienna poll that just dropped that's the gold standard that's the best poll if you ask most
00:16:22
pollsters huge sample and likely voters and it's got Trump up one which is basically a tie up one this time four
00:16:32
years ago Biden was up nine over Trump and that election was this tight and it had Biden up nine it said the
00:16:41
statistical probability of an electoral college for Trump was 99.7% yeah if you look at the swing
00:16:47
States Nate sil's interpretation of that poll that came out yeah and Nate now the
00:16:52
left is turning on Nate inexplicably really I mean other than his data but they loved Nate and they created Nate
00:16:59
but now that Nate's numbers aren't going their way they're like who's Nate connected to who's he working for Nate
00:17:03
like most prognosticators wants to be right but look I'll say this and by the way in 16 it showed Hillary up too at
00:17:11
this point so and Trump won that election you know the general wisdom is that the Democrat has to be up some four
00:17:17
points or better in the National polling given the fact that they usually win the
00:17:22
popular vote G just given how blue the urban centers are in order to win in order to cross over in those swing
00:17:29
States and right now she's not I mean that New York Times shows her down you were in the middle of the 2016 election
00:17:36
I find this comparison very interesting so I'm curious your take contrast and compare Donald Trump versus Hillary
00:17:42
Clinton what day is it today September 9th of that election and Donald Trump and kamla Harris September 9th
00:17:55
now Trump had some advantages back then that he doesn't have now including his genuine Outsider status it was very
00:18:04
attractive to a lot of Voters who had never voted before speaking of getting up off your couch um that really worked
00:18:10
for him and Trump was incredibly vibrant feisty fiery fun you know provocative obviously controversial and new you know
00:18:23
we all knew Trump but we knew him as this crazy n businessman with a lot of color and suddenly he morphed under the
00:18:28
itical field like unlike anything we'd ever seen I mean there was a reference to penis size and a presidential debate
00:18:35
yeah I was there um so that happened this time around people are a little bit more used
00:18:42
to Trump's bits right his routine he's obviously a little older but still vibrant I mean could any of you have
00:18:50
stood on that presidential stage and given a nearly 2hour address a week after someone shot you in the ear like I
00:18:59
was falling asleep and I was seated and fine you know I'm like I didn't need so he's got a lot of energy but he's not an
00:19:06
outsider exactly anymore he's he is still one he's not taking like all the money these fat cats and ready to kiss
00:19:11
their bottoms necessarily but he's lost that what he's gained is a record you know now Trump can go on this debate
00:19:18
stage tomorrow night with some real ammo you know if you were you better off four
00:19:23
years than you are today and really point to his policies one of the great tragedies of the Trump era has been his
00:19:31
policies have been incredibly good for America yeah it's just his rhetoric is Sox divisive toxic depends on who you
00:19:42
ask right depends on who you ask that he activating that the majority of Americans dislike him and then what
00:19:48
about Hillary versus K oh god well Hillary was smart [Applause] that they didn't they didn't hide
00:20:03
Hillary Hillary did interviews right I had this I had this conversation just this morning you can say what you want
00:20:09
about Hillary Clinton but she is incredibly competent yeah incredibly competent she's competent and she could
00:20:17
have done the job how she did it and with what level of honesty and Corruption would be a different story
00:20:23
but I I really think the problem for KLA Harris is she's not smart she's not a deep thinker
00:20:29
she's very surface level yeah she's giggling just like that all the time spicy Megan tell us how you feel really
00:20:42
be honest and it's a cover it's an obvious cover right it's like she gets to the point where she doesn't know what
00:20:47
she's saying even she doesn't know what she's saying and it's like and so you feel uncomfortable
00:20:53
watching her and then she gave her first interview to CNN and suddenly if that's
00:20:57
drunk Comm suddenly we're dealing with hungover comma like my values haven't changed like clearly somebody had told
00:21:05
her you cackle we're out of here yeah what did you think about her bringing her emotional support white guy exactly
00:21:15
her emotional support Governor he was her big white blankie like I it made no sense like it seemed like a terrible
00:21:20
strategic decision like who's making the decision to do that I agree I objected to the whole thing I think he was there
00:21:25
for two two purposes uh one was yes in case she got in real trouble he could step in yeah and the other was to suck
00:21:34
up some of the air times so she had a couple of fewer questions to answer what did you think of the job just
00:21:39
broadcaster or broadcaster Dana Bash did um because she she did ask some tough questions she did probe a little bit no
00:21:44
not enough she did terribly okay I mean I don't I don't think it was particularly hard but but that was not a
00:21:52
good job okay explain why what would you have done differently so many things go
00:21:56
back and listen to my podcast the day after cuz I took it apart forensically bit by give us the top three here there
00:22:01
where were the follow-up questions where were the hard-hitting follow-ups when she said her nonsense like specifically
00:22:07
how what exactly caused you to change your mind walk me through the process and hit her with all of them not just a
00:22:13
couple and Tim Walls grammar the grammar excuse that's why he said he carried a weapon into war it was his grammar what
00:22:23
kind of BS was that and no followup yeah yes and honestly all taken was do you really want our audience to believe you
00:22:30
said you took weapons into war as a soldier Okay because every every actual service Personnel knows you don't
00:22:37
exaggerate something like that that's hollowed ground you don't say you went into war when you didn't and he's
00:22:42
already on the hot seat for having said you know he was a command sergeant major
00:22:46
and he he didn't retire such and so on anyway all it would have taken was you really want this audience to believe
00:22:51
that was a grammatical error is that your story no that she none of that was done and it was just irritating because
00:22:59
there's so much for kamla Harris to be cross-examined on she just she went to sleep I mean the follow and the followup
00:23:05
question is just such an easy thing to do you don't even have to say it as aggressively as you did you just say
00:23:10
Okay so to be clear let me repeat back to you grammar is the reason you said but let me tell you something let me
00:23:16
tell you something some aggression was warranted this is the problem her her timidity is part of the problem because
00:23:22
I I challenge anybody go back and look I did an interview with Trump in September we've been through a he and I
00:23:30
well yeah that's an interesting relationship it's a very interesting relationship and I saw him at a
00:23:36
turningpoint event the previous August and I said I'd love to sit down with you he said great I'll do it so we sat down
00:23:42
September of last year it was a great interview it was challenging he was not in love with
00:23:48
it good which part where I hammered him on the legal stuff yeah it had a crescendo and a de Crescendo like every
00:23:55
good interview should you know we started up off with some stuff that he would like Joe Biden's old how about
00:24:00
that and then you built you warmed him up a classic strategy right so on on the on the legal on the law fair so judge
00:24:07
meron just moved the sentencing date from I guess it was supposed to be a few days ago to November 18th it occurs to
00:24:13
me that's two weeks after the election so if meron wants to send Trump to prison but is afraid to do it now
00:24:21
because it'd be a huge backlash right before the election seems to me that's kind of what you do you set the date two
00:24:26
weeks after do you I mean what's your take on that do you thinked if Trump loses the election do
00:24:32
you think he's going to Rikers no I don't you don't think so I think there's a possibility Maran will sentence him
00:24:38
because this whole case which was about him writing down something in a book no one ever saw it was in a book that
00:24:44
stayed on the Shelf at Trump Tower didn't have the right thing it didn't say hush money to Stormy Daniels it said
00:24:52
Legal Services no one ever saw that just someone came knocking because they wanted to mess with Trump found it and
00:24:58
said this isn't recorded accurately it's a fraud and he got prosecuted and I think judge Maran and has allowed Alvin
00:25:06
brag to turn it into you tried to steal the election because now guys I'm sorry to tell you but if you ever want to run
00:25:13
for office you have an ethical obligation to let any woman accusing you of any bad stuff come forward and say it
00:25:19
to everyone and if she says I won't hurt you publicly whether it's true or not if
00:25:24
you just give me $130,000 you may not pay her or you going to go to jail so you must let yourself be blackmailed let
00:25:31
someone say this stuff about you true or not or you're going to prison that's how
00:25:36
that case was tried that is now the position that every politician is in theoretically I mean the the case made
00:25:42
sense as a misdemeanor but not as a felony I think you would Age no sense it as a misdemeanor the statute of
00:25:47
limitations had expired sure but I mean it clearly was escalated to a point but I wonder how you think as with family
00:25:53
members you know in the um uh you know that are cops um how you look at the other cases um and if you think there's
00:26:01
any validity to them because there are five cases we're talking about he's guilty of the first three so far out of
00:26:05
three some of them feel trumped up um but what about the last two you know the the documents and the January 6th one do
00:26:11
you think there's any validity to them no no validity the only the only thing that Trump was potentially in trouble on
00:26:17
and the thing I hit him on when we interviewed was not turning over the documents once he had a subpena which
00:26:22
would have been so easy to do yes which was dumb but he's Trump he should have he always does self-destructive stff
00:26:28
gone away now too because of Jack Smith not being properly appointed down there but in answer to your question on on
00:26:33
Judge michon I think um he he almost is in a position where he might have to sentence him to jail given how big
00:26:40
they've tried to make it you stole an election you stole but it'll it would be at a suspended sentence it would be
00:26:45
immediately appealed and I think Trump on appeal will win there are so many holes in that case so I don't think
00:26:51
Trump will ever do one single day in jail so Megan if um we look at the five cases you know six months from there a
00:26:57
year from now let's assume all five of them go to trial um he's guilty of three so far wait what do you what do you mean
00:27:03
he's guilty of three so far he's been convicted of three sorry what do you mean know he hasn't um the ell uh no EEG
00:27:10
EEG Carol was guilty that was not a conviction that was a civil case well yes so that's what I'm talking about so
00:27:15
that okay but there's a big difference it's still he was convicted he was guilty of that you got a settl um in
00:27:23
the yeah in the Trump organization they're guilty there liable liable yes of course but these
00:27:30
are the cases we're talking about and in the third one you know she's a lawyer right yeah of course and in the third
00:27:35
one I'm just talking about the five cases yes some are civil obviously and and some some are not some are criminal
00:27:41
but if we look at all you said three convictions now you're walking it back I'm not walking it back there's three in
00:27:45
which he was you should walk it back so glad Megan is here the five three of them he's either guilty or he got a bad
00:27:52
result yeah got a bad result there are two more if he is found guilty of those two more mag
00:27:58
um and five of five he had a bad result um way to frame it um will will you chalk all five up in your mind to five
00:28:08
different jurisdictions five different prosecutors five different juries and or judges all conspiring to get him 100%
00:28:17
okay yes that's all I wanted to hear your answer to five of five five different jurisdictions you think it's
00:28:24
Carol they they changed the law so that she could bring a civil lawsuit against him and she did New York Jury New York
00:28:28
went 87% for Joe Biden that that that fix was in right from the start the fraud trial that Leticia James brought
00:28:35
against him has never been brought there's no victims the banks who were involved said we didn't lose a penny
00:28:39
what are we doing here we weren't damaged nobody was complaining except Tish James who ran for office saying I
00:28:44
will get him then you have Alvin Bragg who's a George Soros funded prosecutor who doesn't like to prosecute any crime
00:28:50
in New York City where I live for 17 years except if your name is Donald Trump let's go down to Georgia where
00:28:55
Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade couldn't keep their libidos in Jack long enough to actually bring this case against
00:29:00
Donald Trump it's a repeat of what was happening in January 6th up in the case with judge chuckin who loathes Trump and
00:29:07
has sentenced almost every j6 defendant to way more jail time than their counterparts would get those are falling
00:29:13
apart because of presidential immunity which was handed down by the Supreme Court who said you cannot bring a
00:29:18
criminal case against a sitting president for any official act those cases have have been gutted also a
00:29:23
Supreme Court ruling saying the same on January 6 defendants in general and that
00:29:27
leaves us with Florida and the documents and Trump has torn that apart because Jack Smith wasn't properly appointed and
00:29:32
isn't the right Council but there are other issues they haven't even gotten to presidential immunity there and so that
00:29:39
one's going nowhere as well and by the way they're going to peel it up to the 11 circuit she just threw it out the 11
00:29:44
circuit is conservative and thank God so is the current Supreme Court they're not
00:29:47
going to tolerate that nonsense let me ask you about um I think let me I think J Cal I think
00:29:57
J Cal just lost lost his right to ever bring up lawfare again no we're we're done with your
00:30:03
it's over I didn't give we're not here to hear my opinion I didn't give my opinion I wanted me let let's um
00:30:11
the Democratic party and the Republican Party 2028 post all of this okay um I suspect because of your influence I I so
00:30:21
tell me if this is not even true but upand cominging folks are probably trying to meet you all the time because
00:30:26
they want to build a relation ship build a rapport so that when it's time for them to get you know interviewed or
00:30:32
whatever there's a so you must see a lot of people just give us a state of politicians post this current
00:30:40
batch what is the same I don't feel very optimistic okay is it getting worse yeah
00:30:46
it's getting worse because of Instagram and AOC that kind of person yes her specifically but not just
00:30:52
her um I say more they they want these are congressional Kardashians can I tell you something my
00:31:07
experience in the news business dealing with politicians leads me to believe that the people in this room and on this
00:31:12
stage over your two-day conference are the people we need to be looking to for our future leaders and ideas and to save
00:31:18
the country it it's not Washington DC all the incentives to be a good person are gone it's not that there aren't any
00:31:25
good ones there there definitely are and there's some you know true Patriots who
00:31:29
are still trying to serve and even who are who are two people just on on either side that you would just tell us to look
00:31:35
out for or even they are already doing the job where you say these two people are like good
00:31:43
people you should play the little Jeopardy music right now um no one's coming to mind off the
00:31:49
top of my head but I know that there are some uh look I like Rand Paul I think Rand Paul is a good andon
00:31:58
man don't run a giant deficit it's not a bad I mean all of them lie so I'm not trying to excuse all of that they all do
00:32:05
but if you watch people long enough you find the ones that stand up for the right issues and seem to have some
00:32:12
integrity that's one that comes to mind I there used to be a day where they where they would reach across the aisle
00:32:19
and they actually weren't just there for clicks or to make themselves famous or and those days are few and far between
00:32:26
now I just think with look I supported the Supreme Court's decision in citizen United and I think big money in politics
00:32:32
was always going to happen but it's corrupted the system in a way that you know most politicians only have to
00:32:38
answer to their one group of big donors or their one small constituency and their one very red or very blue town and
00:32:44
there's no more incentive to compromise there's only incentive to get reelected which is one of the frustrations we have
00:32:49
when we watch Washington nothing gets done or size of relief in this Congress where we watch Washington and nothing
00:32:57
gets done right right now I'm all about going back to the original founding version of this country where government
00:33:03
was as small as possible the presidency was as small as possible and these people do as little as humanly possible
00:33:10
while they're in I feel Megan I feel like someone should do like a modernday recap of the Federalist Papers like an
00:33:18
understanding of the basis of the foundation of the Republic like were what were the founding philosophies and
00:33:24
and then understanding how far astray we've we've gone but let me ask you a question what constitutional amendments
00:33:30
would you pass to fix the incentive problems if you could have your brothers pass any Constitutional Amendment or two
00:33:36
what would they be to address the incentive issue that's causing a lot of the integrity and misalignment I don't
00:33:42
think it it starts like that I think it it is just like KLA Harris's Choice as Biden's uh replacement it's bottom up
00:33:50
it's bottom up that's the LIE remember they told us Chuck Schumer it's bottom up we chose the people chose her
00:33:55
literally nobody's voted for her to be the nomin um I think this one does have to be
00:34:00
bottom up like if we're going to change the way we elect politicians and the way
00:34:04
we govern ourselves you know we're so it's so much more complex than just what what laws are written down and you Tech
00:34:12
has a lot to do with it how divided we are how disconnected we are how lonely we are I mean right now the latest
00:34:20
strain of the argument is interesting which is all the processed foods are making us weird and unhealthy and dying
00:34:26
and and dividing people further because it's driving our hormones nuts and our behavior is getting weirder and obese
00:34:33
yeah and obesity so I mean there's just a lot we need to reconsider about the way we're living and I do think one of
00:34:40
the main things is we need to see each other again we need to like look each at each other in the eye across from the
00:34:45
table we need to ban our kids from playing on the devices when they get together for playd dates we must insist
00:34:51
that they play outside without any devices and actually connect with nature we must make sure that they do the same
00:34:57
we must get out of the coastal cities and go to fly over country and go to a rodeo in Montana something like that you
00:35:04
know I we all we have to start loving our country again that's a huge piece of it and that again is community you know
00:35:11
speaking of rodeo and Montana we went we go out there we have a little ski cabin
00:35:15
there which we love and uh we went in the summer brought our kids to a rodeo they started playing the national
00:35:21
anthem and my little guy at the time was like five and he was a little slow to get up right like he knows to get up but
00:35:26
he was five and there's this old cowboy sitting right behind us with the big hat
00:35:32
and the jeans and the belt and he goes boy you better get on your feet and my son was like oh yes sir that was me
00:35:41
but I was like right on that's great right on that's what we need right like more of that and more of looking out for
00:35:47
one another not with forced taxes and through the eyeballs and all that nonsense but like your neighbor's sick
00:35:53
go make him a casserole your old older neighbor is housebound go m lawn that is the stuff that used to make us us and as
00:36:02
we just Retreat into our devices and our television screens and all of it we lose
00:36:08
that and we lose us all right well said ladies and gentlemen Megan Kelly thank you w standing out that was
