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