00:00:31.260 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:42.820 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:46.200 We are headed toward a holiday weekend, one of my favorites.

00:00:48.820 You know, we do not take Fourth of July lightly in the Kelly Brunt household.

00:00:53.560 Not at all.

00:00:54.420 As you know, we do our colonial costumes.

00:00:56.900 We do a reading of the Declaration.

00:00:58.960 It's all happening, people.

00:01:00.620 It's happening.

00:01:01.340 And I hope you are doing it up, too, in your own way, wherever you are.

00:01:06.040 We'll have a full rundown for you on Monday of how it went.

00:01:08.600 The news is not slowing down in honor of the Fourth.

00:01:11.640 We've got huge updates today.

00:01:13.260 The fallout from the Brian Kohlberger guilty plea.

00:01:16.740 The judge deciding late yesterday to keep Sean Diddy Combs behind bars pending sentencing.

00:01:24.040 Oh, I guess your sweet charm didn't end up working on this particular judge, did it?

00:01:31.220 He was literally making heart signs.

00:01:33.600 He was making heart signs and prayer signs like, oh, thank you, thank you.

00:01:38.540 He thought he could charm the judge into letting him out of prison pending sentencing, which

00:01:43.900 now happens in October.

00:01:45.260 And it was a no.

00:01:46.880 It was a no.

00:01:48.120 All right.

00:01:48.380 The judge is not fooled.

00:01:49.580 The jury was fooled.

00:01:51.760 The case was likely lost in jury selection.

00:01:54.060 But the judge is not an idiot and he is keeping Diddy behind bars because he is a threat.

00:01:59.660 How'd you like to be Cassandra Ventura today or Jane or Deontay Nash or any of the people

00:02:04.740 who testified against him, which were acts of courage not rewarded by this New York jury?

00:02:11.180 A bunch of fools.

00:02:12.340 I'm sorry, but the obvious evidence showed he was guilty.

00:02:17.060 OK, sorry.

00:02:17.760 I'm going back over treaded ground.

00:02:19.280 The House of Representatives right now on the verge of passing Trump's big, beautiful

00:02:24.780 bill.

00:02:25.080 It's happening, people.

00:02:26.380 It's happening.

00:02:27.620 And, you know, Hakeem Jeffries can bloviate as long as he wants at the lectern.

00:02:33.260 It's happening.

00:02:34.200 You're really just delaying the inevitable.

00:02:36.720 What was it?

00:02:37.320 I sent this to my producers.

00:02:38.500 It was a good quote.

00:02:39.460 Stand by.

00:02:39.940 It was from Hugh Hewitt.

00:02:42.560 He wrote, have you ever, ever seen a losing team hang around the field this long?

00:02:47.980 Dems don't understand they are conducting an hours long surrender ceremony.

00:02:52.880 That's exactly right, Hugh.

00:02:54.240 Exactly right.

00:02:55.300 So great.

00:02:55.880 Keep calling attention to the BBB as it barrels toward passage.

00:03:00.060 What are we going to remember?

00:03:01.480 That you talked a lot?

00:03:03.020 OK, Hakeem Jeffries is now reading stories of people who are on Medicaid like, oh, not

00:03:07.880 me, not me.

00:03:08.540 Well, the only people who are going to get going to lose their Medicaid are people who

00:03:12.300 were gaming the system, able bodied young men who can get jobs who now they just want

00:03:18.420 you to work.

00:03:19.240 I think it's like 80 hours a month.

00:03:22.020 Could you just like do a month?

00:03:23.520 Most people would do that in two weeks.

00:03:25.900 Get a part time job is what they're saying.

00:03:28.000 Don't just sit there and be a freeloader when you're an able bodied young man.

00:03:32.000 And we're supposed to cry tears for them.

00:03:34.340 Well, most of us will.

00:03:35.240 So Trump celebrating this on true social writing, quote, what a great night it was, one of the

00:03:40.780 most consequential bills ever.

00:03:42.820 The USA is the hottest country in the world by far.

00:03:46.520 We've talked about this.

00:03:47.480 Trump's election was making America hot again.

00:03:50.500 People are trying.

00:03:52.060 I'm sorry, but if you see somebody out there with the blue hair and like 200 extra pounds

00:03:57.520 and one of those blue bracelets, you know damn well it's a Democrat.

00:04:01.400 You just do.

00:04:02.800 Team MAGA cares.

00:04:04.480 They care about themselves.

00:04:06.180 They care about the country.

00:04:07.260 They're pulled together.

00:04:08.540 Doesn't mean there's no one with a few extra pounds.

00:04:10.740 Just in general, they pull themselves together.

00:04:13.160 That's my observation, having met thousands upon thousands of them.

00:04:17.820 It's all happening just in time for the nation's birthday, a signing ceremony scheduled for tomorrow

00:04:23.220 at the White House.

00:04:24.700 And it looks like Trump is actually going to get his wish.

00:04:28.660 You know, this was a self-imposed deadline.

00:04:30.100 Didn't have to happen by tomorrow, but it looks like it's going to.

00:04:32.460 All that plus the Supreme Court announcing that it will decide whether states can bar trans

00:04:40.940 athletes from girls sports.

00:04:42.760 Some lower courts had struck down bans in states like West Virginia, saying they're inappropriate.

00:04:49.920 And now it's a very good sign that the Supreme Court said, we're going to take those cases up here.

00:04:54.620 We will have the final say.

00:04:55.740 This is a great time for this to go up to the high court, you guys.

00:04:58.840 Well, we have it six, three conservatives to the far left, three liberal justices.

00:05:03.580 So God bless them.

00:05:05.100 Take it.

00:05:05.780 That'll be a huge case next term.

00:05:07.940 Alliance Defending Freedom, a wonderful organization, was celebrating the decision to take the case this morning on X.

00:05:14.360 And then there's Charlize Theron, who's making headlines for talking about her sex life in incredibly crude terms.

00:05:23.180 And I would suggest to you possibly untrue.

00:05:26.760 And I'll get into why.

00:05:28.120 All that plus Michelle Obama is now hawking a new sports drink.

00:05:32.480 Like, are they behind in their mortgage payments on the Martha's Vineyard mansion?

00:05:38.020 Michelle Obama's now got to be a like a juice spokesperson.

00:05:41.660 What's happening?

00:05:44.060 Here to react to all of this is Stu Bergeer.

00:05:46.860 He's host of Blaze TV's Stu Does America.

00:05:51.080 Remember when you were a kid with an iron stomach?

00:05:54.060 Pizza, ice cream, hot wings.

00:05:56.980 Nothing fazed you.

00:05:58.240 But these days, if you're like most people, you feel like your stomach can be a bear trap.

00:06:02.960 One wrong bite and you're done.

00:06:05.340 Here's the thing.

00:06:06.000 Years ago, our ancestors ate lots of bitter plants daily.

00:06:09.600 And they made their digestion work even as they got older.

00:06:14.300 But our modern diet has completely eliminated these essential compounds.

00:06:18.440 You've heard me talk before about Just Thrive Probiotics.

00:06:21.880 Now they have their newest product, digestive bitters.

00:06:25.820 These tasteless capsules contain 12 bitter herbs.

00:06:29.420 They say help wake up your digestive system for results you can feel.

00:06:33.020 No more bloat, burping, or belly aches after meals.

00:06:37.620 Just comfortable digestion like when you were younger.

00:07:08.360 Happy Independence Day one day early.

00:07:10.440 Thanks.

00:07:10.740 Same to you, Megan.

00:07:11.420 Appreciate it.

00:07:12.620 Yeah.

00:07:13.240 So do you have big plans for the fourth?

00:07:15.300 Not so much.

00:07:16.120 I'm going to be hanging around with the kids.

00:07:17.480 We've got a party we're going to go to.

00:07:18.940 We do not do it the Megan way, I will say, where we, you know.

00:07:22.840 Few, few do.

00:07:24.040 Few do.

00:07:24.980 And your parties, your get-togethers are legendary around July 4th, of course, with your great

00:07:32.380 American Philadelphia Eagle fan husband doing all the really American things.

00:07:36.540 So we don't do it up that much, but it's going to be a great time with the kids and the family.

00:07:41.360 Awesome.

00:07:41.880 That's the way to do it.

00:07:43.960 I mean, I just go over the top because it's fun and, you know, we can.

00:07:47.100 And it's a great excuse to get family and friends together and celebrate something we

00:07:49.780 all love, America.

00:07:51.020 But this year, we're not going to be able to have the marching band, sadly.

00:07:53.600 We did have a marching band for the past two years.

00:07:55.300 But our band is in Europe.

00:07:57.460 So unfortunately, our Independence Day U.S. band has decided to go tour Europe, which is

00:08:03.160 cool for these young kids.

00:08:04.120 So we support them.

00:08:05.080 They're back.

00:08:05.580 They're coming back next year for the 250th.

00:08:07.840 Or I'll just create my own band, which Abigail Finan can make happen.

00:08:11.580 Trust me.

00:08:12.400 Okay.

00:08:12.840 Moving on.

00:08:13.780 The BBB is going through, Stu.

00:08:15.800 I don't think there was ever any doubt amongst those of us watching this play out.

00:08:20.240 We never got too neck deep in it because I just never do.

00:08:23.660 Are these things always work out?

00:08:25.360 This one was going to work out.

00:08:27.060 As Mark Halpern said early on, it's going to work out because it has to work out for

00:08:30.860 President Trump.

00:08:31.560 It's his entire first term agenda in there.

00:08:34.900 And they're about to pass this thing, which is truly historic.

00:08:40.440 Let me just give you a couple of the things from here's a Bill Malugian text.

00:08:45.680 I mean, post on X from today.

00:08:49.580 If this thing passes, let's just look alone at immigration.

00:08:52.960 Ice will be supercharged on a massive scale.

00:08:57.880 Forty five billion to more than double ice detention capacity to roughly 100,000 beds.

00:09:03.960 Fourteen billion for transport and removal.

00:09:06.600 Think about that.

00:09:07.120 This is what Tom Homan has been begging for eight billion to hire 10,000 additional ice

00:09:12.660 personnel, more than doubling the current 5,000 deportation officers.

00:09:17.520 One point three billion for additional attorneys and support staff for ice.

00:09:23.460 858 million for signing and retention bonuses for these folks.

00:09:27.180 There's more 650 million for local ice cooperation, 600 million for recruitment, hiring and onboarding

00:09:35.280 at ice, 200 million for fleet modernization, 20 million to detain aliens with their children.

00:09:41.120 Acting ice director telling him this funding would be a game changer for the agency.

00:09:46.820 This, as the kids say on X, is what I voted for.

00:09:50.920 Your thoughts?

00:09:51.340 Yeah, I totally agree, particularly on that section.

00:09:56.680 There's a lot of really positive things going on with immigration reform and, honestly, protections

00:10:03.280 for our country.

00:10:04.200 These are national security issues, and they are being addressed in a big way.

00:10:09.020 And we really haven't put a lot of resources toward this in the past.

00:10:13.040 So seeing a massive growth like this, I think, is really, really impactful.

00:10:16.200 I mean, I think a lot of times where it's just sort of, I don't know, maybe, Megan, on the

00:10:21.500 conservative side, we get a little negative.

00:10:23.340 You know, sometimes we kind of look at these things and only see the parts of the bill that

00:10:26.840 we don't like.

00:10:27.560 And look, there are some things in the bill that I don't like.

00:10:29.700 There are some spending issues.

00:10:31.340 There's a couple programs in there that do concern me long term that are part of this

00:10:36.160 bill.

00:10:36.920 But there, as you pointed out, this was going to happen.

00:10:40.200 They absolutely had to use the reconciliation opportunity in some way.

00:10:44.640 It had to address the tax cuts.

00:10:48.040 You know, this was going to get there eventually.

00:10:52.280 It winds up being, you know, a little bigger than I think even Trump wants it to be, because

00:10:57.660 when you have people who hold out, there's really two ways of addressing that.

00:11:00.900 And one is bribing them with different things that they want for their states.

00:11:04.460 Lisa Murkowski was the beneficiary of some of that in the Senate.

00:11:08.020 And then the other side of that is, you know, Trump kind of comes in and says, do it.

00:11:11.920 And generally speaking with Republicans, they kind of fall in line.

00:11:16.200 That happened last night, three o'clock in the morning.

00:11:18.460 We had a lot of these sort of hardline Republicans who, you know, I agree with them a lot of

00:11:22.440 some of these fiscal issues that they're bringing up.

00:11:25.040 But eventually they kind of came into line when Trump and Johnson came to them and said,

00:11:29.260 this needs to be done.

00:11:30.240 It will get done.

00:11:31.240 It will get done by my deadline.

00:11:32.960 My deadline was July 4th of the entire time.

00:11:34.920 When Trump says that to Republicans, generally speaking, he gets what he wants.

00:11:40.300 And I think what we get out of this bill is a lot of really good things, some things that

00:11:45.020 maybe aren't as good.

00:11:46.560 But that is the situation when you have a thousand page bill.

00:11:49.980 It's just kind of it's part of the recipe and you're going to have to deal with it.

00:11:54.140 But I do think we'd get a lot of positives out of this.

00:11:56.200 I mean, there are so many wins going on the board right now.

00:12:00.740 Just today was it was posted on U.S.

00:12:05.280 Open Intel.

00:12:06.640 Iran has said they will not retaliate further for the strikes against their nuclear program.

00:12:11.280 So that whole World War three thing that's done.

00:12:13.840 Not only did Trump not start a war with Iran by dropping the bombs on their nuclear programs,

00:12:18.300 he appears to have ended one.

00:12:20.700 He like the list is very long, which is the ones that just happened in the past 24 hours.

00:12:25.280 So we're going to get the big, beautiful bill.

00:12:27.100 We're going to get all this border enforcement.

00:12:28.580 We're going to get the extension of all the Trump tax cuts, which is sad in a way because

00:12:33.120 he won't get credit for it.

00:12:34.820 He people would have felt the pain if this thing hadn't gone through.

00:12:38.940 All of your taxes would have gone up.

00:12:40.340 Everybody's taxes were about to go up significantly.

00:12:42.620 What Trump did was fight to keep them as low as he made them during his first term.

00:12:47.980 And that's great.

00:12:49.100 But you should remember that.

00:12:50.260 Remember that you did not suffer a multi thousand dollar or more tax hike.

00:12:55.280 Because Trump strong armed this through.

00:12:57.260 And then in the same 24 hours, you see the University of Pennsylvania announce it will

00:13:05.460 no longer allow men to participate in women's sports.

00:13:09.280 And it's been brought to heel by Linda McMahon, who runs Trump's Department of Education, saying

00:13:15.840 you violated Title IX.

00:13:17.400 You violated the rights of those young women.

00:13:19.220 And now you will be posting all over your website and elsewhere how sorry you are.

00:13:24.900 I want individualized letters of apology to the women you hurt, which is unbelievable.

00:13:29.980 Um, and you will strip the male athletes.

00:13:33.920 Hello, Leah Thomas of their fraudulently obtained medals and titles, which will now be restored to the rightful female winners.

00:13:44.060 So Leah Thomas, who is a man pretending to be a woman, will no longer be, uh, the person who won, for example, the women's 500 at the NCAA championship.

00:13:57.240 The, the, the rightful winner of that will now be restored.

00:14:00.560 Riley Gaines, who tied Leah Thomas for fifth.

00:14:03.820 And I think it was the 200 will now be, will now herself have, I think the fourth place.

00:14:10.780 I don't know how to do my math, but she doesn't have to share her title, uh, with anybody now, thanks to this.

00:14:16.340 And, um, no comment yet from Leah Thomas, but here's Riley Gaines reacting to that on Fox news yesterday.

00:14:23.260 I feel vindicated.

00:14:26.680 I feel like pigs are flying.

00:14:28.300 I feel like hell has frozen over.

00:14:30.380 Uh, so it is a fantastic day, of course, for sanity, for common sense.

00:14:34.900 Uh, but I think more, more broadly for women, for humanity, for the little girl that I'm growing inside of me right now, that I will welcome to the world in just a few weeks.

00:14:43.140 I think of her, I think of her future.

00:14:45.820 That is what Donald Trump and of course, secretary McMahon and myself, that is what we are fighting for.

00:14:51.020 Uh, so very, very excited about today's news.

00:14:55.220 Awesome.

00:14:55.960 And then I'll just give you one more.

00:14:57.380 So Riley didn't go to UPenn.

00:14:59.420 She swam against Leah, AKA Will, who was at UPenn, but Paula Scanlon did go to UPenn and Paula Scanlon did have to share a locker room over and over and over with Leah, who the year before had been Will and swimming as a man.

00:15:18.720 And she went on with Link Lauren, our own Link Lauren here on the MK Media Network, and had a couple things to say about this.

00:15:25.660 First of all, um, she talks about how this is just a first step, SOT 20.

00:15:30.320 I think a lot of reform needs to be made, but I will say, I don't believe this.

00:15:36.320 I know you don't believe this, but many people put the Ivy League institutions up on a pedestal.

00:15:39.940 They think there are these amazing institutions.

00:15:41.880 They look to them very highly.

00:15:43.180 And I think there is a lot of value in the University of Pennsylvania and being one of those schools making this decision because it'll, other people, other schools will say, hmm, if an Ivy League institution has to do this, maybe they're onto something.

00:15:53.980 And it'll make them also change their ways.

00:15:56.120 So even though I don't value them that way, they still are valued in the general public.

00:16:00.540 And I do think overall, this is a huge win, but it's only a first step.

00:16:05.120 And just one additional bit of color from her on when she was forced to interact with Will, now Leah, who pranced into her locker room with the coach when he was doing a big announcement on somebody new who was joining the team.

00:16:19.340 Listen here to Paula Scanlon, SOT 21.

00:16:21.080 I was a sophomore.

00:16:23.600 It was 2019.

00:16:24.840 I was a sophomore.

00:16:25.620 I was 19 years old.

00:16:27.040 Our coach called a mandatory team meeting, and he invited a member of the men's team to lead this women's team meeting.

00:16:33.860 And so at the time, going by William, William Thomas stood before the entire women's team and said, hey, guys, just really quickly wanted to let you know I now identify as a woman.

00:16:43.980 Please refer to me now with she, her pronouns.

00:16:46.460 I'll be joining your team next season.

00:16:48.440 And stay tuned, guys.

00:16:49.920 I'm still picking my new name, so just keep posted on that.

00:16:53.320 There was something on the NCAA website called the Transgender Inclusion Handbook that said if you are a man competing on any women's sports team that you can identify as a woman, and within one year of taking testosterone suppressant, whatever that even is, you can join any women's sports team that you want to across D1, D2, D3.

00:17:11.760 And the handbook was full of pictures of quite literally men wearing dresses, playing women's sports, saying that they're so happy.

00:17:18.440 That was their evidence to why it was a good policy.

00:17:20.760 Yes, this is 100% what I voted for, cracking down on the border, deporting dangerous illegals, restoring sanity in women's sports.

00:17:32.540 Every day is Christmas with President Trump in the Oval Office.

00:17:36.420 I'm sorry.

00:17:37.220 This is exactly what I voted for.

00:17:39.000 It's exactly what I told my fellow Americans they would get if they would believe in Trump, even if they were skeptical.

00:17:45.200 It is why I said he'd be a protector of women and everyone, and remember our forgotten boys, too.

00:17:51.460 He's doing it, Stu.

00:17:53.000 He gets no credit from the left, none whatsoever, but he is fulfilling every campaign promise.

00:17:59.000 Yeah, and you know, it's not just what you voted for, Megan.

00:18:02.620 It's a good chunk of why he's currently president of the United States.

00:18:06.180 It's why a lot of people voted for him.

00:18:07.980 A lot of people who voted for Joe Biden previously crossed the line and decided to vote for him this time because of issues like this.

00:18:15.420 I mean, they saw a dude, you know, standing on the podium ahead of other women and said, this is wrong.

00:18:23.980 This is crazy.

00:18:24.840 We all know that this is wrong.

00:18:27.240 You know, they make this claim over and over again.

00:18:29.440 There's no scientific evidence that shows that, you know, women are not able to compete at these levels with men.

00:18:37.300 And it's like this picture.

00:18:38.340 That's him.

00:18:39.260 Yeah, obviously, you know, which one is him.

00:18:41.700 Who wants to stare at this guy's naked ass two inches away from the actual women parading it around?

00:18:48.560 I feel strongly, it's my opinion, that this guy is an autogynophile, meaning a man who gets sexually aroused from dressing like a woman.

00:18:57.520 And this university forced all these women, in my opinion, to participate in Will Thomas's sexual fetish.

00:19:05.820 It was an abomination.

00:19:07.740 And when they spoke up, people like Paula Scanlon behind the scenes, not even going public, just saying to the university, I feel uncomfortable.

00:19:14.700 They told the women to get therapy.

00:19:17.060 Let me just tell you something, Stu.

00:19:18.960 We've gone from, I mean, I remember the days reporting on this show, it was two studios ago, about what was happening with Leah Thomas and what was happening at UPenn and the goddamn, sorry, the damned therapy that they told the women to get.

00:19:33.120 And no one was speaking out at that time.

00:19:35.140 They were too scared.

00:19:36.600 And then one by one, they started to.

00:19:39.080 Paula Scanlon came out.

00:19:40.480 She was one of the first.

00:19:41.700 Riley Gaines hadn't even spoken out.

00:19:43.220 Riley, at the beginning, wasn't speaking out about it.

00:19:45.940 We didn't know her name.

00:19:46.700 We knew she had tied.

00:19:47.920 That was it.

00:19:48.560 And finally, she found her voice.

00:19:50.280 And now she's become a national championship, really champion, the face, really, of this movement, because she's been totally courageous.

00:19:56.980 Look how far we've come, because women did find their voices.

00:20:00.300 And I have to say, those women and many others got to President Trump, made him listen, explained to him that a woman cannot become a man and that it's not kind to pretend otherwise.

00:20:12.780 And he came fully on board our team and he came fully on board our team and now is fixing it.

00:20:17.680 University by university, institution by institution, he's fixing it.

00:20:22.840 The University of Pennsylvania did not want to bend the knee, but he made them, Stu.

00:20:29.120 Yeah, you're totally right.

00:20:31.340 I think that's amazing because I almost had forgotten.

00:20:34.380 That was kind of Trump's initial position was sort of a live and let live.

00:20:37.440 Let's not get involved in any of this.

00:20:39.000 And it shows that he will consider people see him as this rigid character that never will think about anybody else's opinion.

00:20:46.960 Obviously not true.

00:20:47.880 This is a good example of it.

00:20:49.060 And he has become an incredible advocate for this.

00:20:52.020 He's correcting these obvious wrongs.

00:20:55.720 And it's it's been pretty impressive.

00:20:58.920 And I will say, you know, it goes in.

00:21:01.200 You bring up maybe his sexual proclivities, whatever they may be.

00:21:07.280 And it's it's a fascinating thing to highlight in the supposed Me Too era, right?

00:21:12.460 That these these college girls were forced to be in a changing room with these in a locker room changing in front of some guy who God only knows what his motivation was to be there.

00:21:26.420 It's revolting.

00:21:28.300 Everyone knows that we were kicking people out of their jobs for making off color jokes for several years.

00:21:33.500 Right. And and and we're expecting college girls, people's daughters to be in these rooms with with men that that are naked, that they don't want to be near.

00:21:42.780 I mean, it's so obvious.

00:21:44.760 And I think that's one of the things that makes this such a powerful issue for people.

00:21:49.220 It is one of those things that all they have to do, we can explain.

00:21:51.960 I can give you the the the Journal of Applied Physiology that that the science that does show that, yes, men have an advantage over women and women's sports.

00:22:00.420 We can go through that data.

00:22:01.780 Nobody needs it.

00:22:03.240 Nobody needs it.

00:22:03.980 The reason why there aren't tons of scientific studies on this is because everybody in the world has eyes.

00:22:08.540 And the people that can see them, yes, there's secret weapons to discover these things.

00:22:13.900 And when they see that picture, that very uncomfortable picture that I hope you don't show again of Leah Thomas or Will Thomas, they see that and that's enough.

00:22:24.220 And when someone comes to them and demands that you did it, you showed the picture.

00:22:29.280 I can't believe I'm very angry, very angry at you and your entire staff.

00:22:33.160 But when people see that photo, they and then someone then the second part of this is important.

00:22:39.480 When someone comes to them and says they're wrong for what they saw, that they the thing that they have known and every human being has known since the beginning of time is wrong.

00:22:51.760 And you're a hateful person and a bad person for for saying that it turns them on the entire movement.

00:22:59.740 Right. It turns them.

00:23:01.080 Wait a minute.

00:23:01.740 If you're telling me that's wrong, what else are you lying about?

00:23:05.380 And that was a major, major point.

00:23:07.620 I mean, you look through all these biographies.

00:23:09.220 I know you talk to Jake Tapper, excuse me, the stories about the election.

00:23:13.200 I know you talked to Jake Tapper about his.

00:23:14.480 There's been several.

00:23:15.020 Now, all of them show the major effect that came from that one Trump ad, which was, you know, Kamala Harris is for they, them.

00:23:23.820 Trump is for you.

00:23:24.940 That ad was a turning point in this campaign.

00:23:27.720 It is central.

00:23:28.580 It is a really, really important issue because it not only is great for women, for people like Riley Gaines, for my daughter, who is in gymnastics.

00:23:37.320 Like, it's really important for all of them.

00:23:39.400 It also tells the entire story, and people saw that and were able to summarize it easily, and it made a massive difference.

00:23:47.440 It's happening.

00:23:48.640 Trump made UPenn bend the knee by sicking Linda McMahon on them, noting that this is a violation of girls' rights under Title IX.

00:23:58.260 Trump issued the executive order restoring sanity to Title IX and making clear what it stands for.

00:24:03.600 The U.S. Supreme Court taking up the lower courts, striking down of bans on allowing this in state after state.

00:24:13.220 They're ready.

00:24:13.800 They're going to do the right thing.

00:24:15.280 I guarantee it.

00:24:16.480 I just guess I shouldn't say guarantee, but I feel very strongly that this U.S. Supreme Court is going to do the right thing and say that states absolutely have the right to ban this, and sanity will be restored there.

00:24:28.840 And so bit by bit, it's happening.

00:24:30.920 On top of all that, and if there's a lot, look, the fight's not over.

00:24:35.240 There's a USA cyclist man who just stole a woman's title in the national championship, like, yesterday.

00:24:43.080 So it's not over, but that's outside of the college context.

00:24:46.140 Look at him.

00:24:46.600 Look at him standing.

00:24:47.200 You know which one he is.

00:24:48.480 The woman who actually won, who came in second, but she's the actual winner, she said, I'm not getting on the damn podium.

00:24:54.700 No.

00:24:55.060 So that's why there's not two people over on the one side, because the second-place finisher, who's really the winner, said, I'm not showing up.

00:25:01.940 This is bullshit.

00:25:02.940 And by the way, she said, I wish somebody had told me there was going to be a man competing before I spent thousands of dollars on plane tickets to fly cross-country, to get there, to do training.

00:25:12.260 Just tell me.

00:25:13.160 Tell me if I'm going to have to compete against somebody against, obviously, I can't win, right?

00:25:17.720 Like, this is a waste of my time, my efforts.

00:25:19.840 So there's work to be done.

00:25:21.480 But there's so many positive things happening all around Trump and the Trump presidency.

00:25:28.080 I mean, we could really spend every day, all day on them.

00:25:30.960 Another one is the crushing blows he's dealing to the media.

00:25:35.520 Okay?

00:25:35.840 So there's a couple of headlines there.

00:25:37.300 Number one, CBS News just waved the white flag in that litigation he filed against them, which honestly was, like, such a stretch for—I mean, I'm not defending what CBS did at all with that Kamala Harris interview.

00:25:54.240 But to turn it into a multibillion-dollar claim, as Trump did down in Texas in some violation of, like, the fair marketing principles, I can't remember, but it was a stretch.

00:26:04.880 He basically won.

00:26:06.320 They just settled the case for $16 million.

00:26:09.740 And according to Fox News, there's an additional eight-figure payout coming by CBS in the form of advertisements and possibly PSAs, public service announcements, to promote conservative causes.

00:26:25.000 Now, a Paramount or CBS spokesperson has said that's not necessarily right.

00:26:30.360 But I think that reporting was matched by another news outlet today that it is right.

00:26:36.320 And even without that, the $16 million settlement, which is going to go to the Trump library—it's going to be the nicest library ever—is monumental.

00:26:45.460 I mean, like, it's momentous that he brought ABC News to heel after George Stephanopoulos' defamation of Trump.

00:26:53.140 And now he has CBS News out there paying him $16 million for what was clearly a report that was manipulated in order to influence an election.

00:27:03.920 No one can tell me different.

00:27:06.100 Yeah.

00:27:07.220 This one's pretty shocking to me, honestly.

00:27:09.520 You know, I was nervous about whether we would just lose our sense of figuring out whether boys were boys and girls were girls.

00:27:16.740 There was a part of me at the time that was like, gosh, are we really going to go down this road?

00:27:21.780 But I'm not shocked that we eventually came to our senses on that one and are coming to our senses on it.

00:27:27.080 I am pretty surprised that he keeps getting these major media institutions to go along with him on this and give him these large payments.

00:27:36.580 Mostly because, I mean, these are basically ideological organizations at this point, and they are designed to serve an audience.

00:27:46.420 Most of that audience cannot stand that they're doing this, right?

00:27:50.420 Like, they are angry.

00:27:52.700 The left-wing audience that actually takes in the trash these networks are putting out on a day-to-day basis are very angry about this.

00:27:59.800 And it shows, like, he really has put them in a very difficult position.

00:28:03.680 You know, I think it's important that we have – first of all, it is hilarious to see them squirm.

00:28:10.020 I mean, it's amazing.

00:28:11.180 I have no low expectation of what Donald Trump is able to accomplish when he decides to say, you're doing this.

00:28:18.980 Like, that is – we've been seeing this for a long time.

00:28:21.380 He has a lot of power, and he does – he will wield it.

00:28:25.540 I am surprised, though, that these media organizations are going along and settling these claims.

00:28:31.780 I know a lot of them have business that they – other interests, and they're folding towards them.

00:28:38.020 And, of course, Trump knows this.

00:28:39.280 He knows the leverage game better than probably anybody on the entire planet.

00:28:43.560 So he's really, really good at this.

00:28:45.580 You know, I think we want to – we want a free media in this country.

00:28:49.660 And I don't mind having media sources that are left-leaning.

00:28:53.620 I work for one that is right-leaning, and I don't want them to go away.

00:28:57.040 I don't want to get sued by the president every single time I make a statement they don't agree with.

00:29:00.920 That's not what Trump's doing here.

00:29:02.100 But, you know, I don't want that – I don't want it to get out of control on that.

00:29:05.100 We do have to have a free media in this country, and I think that is important to protect.

00:29:09.440 But, you know, they should at least send a message to these institutions and these media companies to just, you know, try.

00:29:16.980 I feel like most of my life I had an impression of the media that it was left-leaning, and they had their agenda.

00:29:25.360 But at least they wanted to make you believe they were attempting journalism.

00:29:31.620 And it's a low hurdle to clear, and I thought they were at least trying to clear that.

00:29:37.040 Something happened.

00:29:38.000 I think it was pretty much – I would say it happened during the Trump era.

00:29:41.140 It's essentially TDS, Trump derangement syndrome, where they stopped trying.

00:29:46.640 They started saying, you know what, this is too important.

00:29:48.700 We can't do journalism anymore.

00:29:50.200 What if people believe, you know, the right spin on this?

00:29:54.440 They might put Trump in office, and then the entire country will collapse, and World War III will occur, and cats and dogs will live together, and all the things.

00:30:04.320 And at the end of the day, they sold their soul to oppose this man.

00:30:11.100 That is never a good idea, and hopefully these outcomes are at least having them reconsider it a little bit.

00:30:17.460 That's why I'm in favor of it.

00:30:19.680 The edit was definitely an unfair and unethical manipulation.

00:30:24.480 I believe that.

00:30:25.720 Look, they did it to help her.

00:30:27.360 They released a tease, a preview, SOT, sound on tape – that's what SOT stands for – the day before, and it showed her typical word salad response to, Netanyahu's not listening.

00:30:41.320 It had a word salad, classic Kamala Harris.

00:30:44.040 And then by the time they got to the actual airing of the 60 Minutes broadcast the next night, it was cleaner and more concise, still empty-headed, but much better than the tease clip had reflected.

00:30:56.880 There is no question somebody realized the first clip was not coherent, and they wanted to make her sound better, and possibly I'll give them one, you know, 10% chance of just giving the user a more pleasant experience while listening to a Q&A between an anchor and a subject.

00:31:16.100 However, you can't do that when you're talking about a presidential candidate.

00:31:20.260 It's important if she can't answer the question.

00:31:23.220 It's important if she goes to the word salad, empty-headed answer.

00:31:26.820 And so you can't just prize user experience over being honest in your exchange, right?

00:31:33.140 You can't just clean up.

00:31:34.080 It's not a benign thing where, like, I'm interviewing a Boy Scout about how he got this merit badge, and you clean it up here or there so that everyone looks better and has a better experience.

00:31:44.140 No, this is a presidential candidate.

00:31:46.180 She was running for the most important job in America, and 100% everyone at CBS News wanted her to win.

00:31:53.540 And everyone working on 60 Minutes from the executive producer on down.

00:31:59.300 And that is very clearly not only why they did that edit, but why they've done the string of hit pieces on Trump and on his administration and on his policies and why they're celebrating places like Germany that are arresting people for having wrong think in their heads and in their tweets.

00:32:19.080 Yes, 60 Minutes, 60 Minutes has lost its way.

00:32:22.160 The rudder, it has lost—someone's lost control of it.

00:32:25.860 It's gone—it used to pull to the left.

00:32:27.860 Now it's gone far left.

00:32:29.920 And so this is why I'm thrilled to see them punished.

00:32:33.460 I'm thrilled to see them actually recognize you have real skin in the game, and it could get worse for you.

00:32:39.360 Of course, the reason they settled it is because they're trying to sell Paramount to Skydance and this merger—Paramount owns CBS—for $8 billion.

00:32:50.040 And they need the Trump administration's regulatory approval.

00:32:53.780 So $16 million or $30 million, whatever it is, it was the Wall Street Journal who matched the Fox News reporter on the PSAs and the ads but didn't match the $30 million number.

00:33:01.880 But in any event, whatever the number is, it's a small price to pay in their minds to get their $8 billion merger through.

00:33:08.380 But reportedly, everybody within CBS is absolutely outraged.

00:33:12.420 The only thing they're holding onto is that they didn't apologize to the president.

00:33:16.140 You should be thinking about the lesson here.

00:33:18.680 You should be thinking about why he targeted you and not NBC and not CNN and not even MSNBC yet.

00:33:30.180 Why did he target CBS?

00:33:33.160 Because they've got this premier broadcast that literally millions of Americans do still trust, and over and over and over again, it has tried to take down the Trump presidency or candidacy.

00:33:47.080 Yeah, no, that's very true.

00:33:50.960 That has been their goal.

00:33:51.960 You know, I remember when this was all happening and I became aware of this controversy of this edit.

00:33:56.660 I was like, I've got to see this clip.

00:33:58.100 I've got to see this clip.

00:33:58.800 And I watched the clip.

00:33:59.560 And it was legitimately terrible.

00:34:02.280 And I said to my producer, okay, now I've got to see the post-edit clip.

00:34:06.000 And they said, that was the post-edit clip.

00:34:09.620 That was actually after it had been cleaned up.

00:34:12.420 It was still a catastrophe, but it was much less a catastrophe.

00:34:17.020 You know, I mean, the media has lost a lot of influence.

00:34:18.920 You know, we were talking about this a few weeks ago when, and I don't even know, you may not even know this.

00:34:24.320 I don't know, Megan, if you've covered it or not.

00:34:25.700 But there's a new anchor of NBC Nightly News that was named.

00:34:31.820 And this is, I don't know, Tom Yamas, I think is his name.

00:34:37.020 Oh, oh.

00:34:37.860 I did not know about it.

00:34:38.800 I knew Lester was leaving.

00:34:40.700 I didn't know Tom was taking over.

00:34:42.800 Yeah, Tom has taken over.

00:34:44.400 Who cares?

00:34:44.460 And I don't know anything about Tom.

00:34:46.460 But that's it, right?

00:34:47.580 Like, I feel like, you know, 10, 15 years ago, Megan, that would have been a story maybe you might have led with, right?

00:34:52.720 There's a new anchor, NBC Nightly News.

00:34:54.480 Who is this guy?

00:34:55.120 This is a big deal.

00:34:56.860 Nobody even knew it happened.

00:34:58.780 And that is a massive, massive change for the better in this country.

00:35:04.720 And you think about it, too.

00:35:06.300 The media is at fault.

00:35:07.640 And, you know, the universities, the elite universities are at fault.

00:35:11.720 But we have to also put the focus on the fact that the left is really, really central to this generally.

00:35:17.740 I mean, like, you know, Penn's, going back to that story, Penn's excuse for what it was,

00:35:23.460 was basically like, well, we followed the rules at the time.

00:35:27.140 This is what they told us we were supposed to do.

00:35:29.760 And, like, if part of that's a cop-out, like, they should stand up for the basic truths of human anatomy.

00:35:34.960 They should respect their students, all of that.

00:35:38.340 They did a terrible job and deserve everything they're getting.

00:35:41.460 But also the fact that, like, this was what was expected out of these universities is significant.

00:35:46.640 I mean, this was being jammed down by the highest levels throughout our university system.

00:35:53.420 The same thing we find with the Twitter files and all of the other things, it was being jammed through the media as well and social media and tech companies.

00:36:00.820 Like, these politicians, Kamala Harris, you know, Joe Biden, all these people, at least the ones that were aware of who they were at the time they were in the White House,

00:36:10.480 were doing this intentionally to try to essentially take over all of these institutions and force their agenda down the throats of the American people.

00:36:18.160 The American people, along with Donald Trump, said, no, no, we're not letting this happen.

00:36:23.340 They stood up.

00:36:23.940 They stood up against the media.

00:36:25.020 They stood up against these universities.

00:36:26.300 Donald Trump was elected, and he's making a massive difference in ways here that are really, really important.

00:36:33.640 Yeah, and you're right about the NBC thing.

00:36:37.340 You can see the waning influence in so many different ways.

00:36:41.040 I mean, no one's talking about, did you see what Anderson Cooper led with last night?

00:36:44.880 Nobody, literally nobody, not even Anderson Cooper's fans.

00:36:49.140 There was an article out today on the ratings.

00:36:51.780 My God, hold on.

00:36:52.900 I'll find it.

00:36:53.480 It's a bloodbath over on MSNBC and CNN.

00:36:58.520 Okay, it's a bloodbath.

00:37:00.400 MSNBC, now the numbers are out on the latest Nielsen data reported by Adweek.

00:37:06.080 Now averaging between April and June.

00:37:08.380 Okay, so that's a quarter.

00:37:11.480 One million in the prime time for its best shows.

00:37:17.140 One million.

00:37:18.340 All right, I mean, when I was at Fox, we were doing like three million in change on the Kelly file.

00:37:24.140 And then on the big news nights, you could add a couple of extra million to that.

00:37:28.440 Like one million?

00:37:30.220 That's what I used to get on America's Newsroom with Hemmer in 2007 at 9 a.m.

00:37:35.640 We'd get like 1.3 million on that show, in the overall.

00:37:39.280 And then we'd get like 300 or 400,000 in the key demo at 9 a.m.

00:37:43.060 9 a.m.

00:37:44.140 On a show we launched that actually was doing very well and had gone up from what had been in the time slot before us.

00:37:50.580 Okay, but now they're getting a million in the prime time.

00:37:54.280 Prime time.

00:37:54.960 Any show on the Fox News prime time that would, even today, especially because now, you know, it's inflated under Trump at Fox, that was getting a million in the prime time, you'd get fired.

00:38:04.560 The anchor would get fired.

00:38:06.020 Okay, and in the key demo of 25 to 54, MSNBC is averaging under 100,000.

00:38:13.800 91,000, Stu.

00:38:17.240 That's what their prime time, the biggest ratings getters on the network are averaging on MSNBC, a fall from year over year of 15% in the overall and 20% in the demo, which is kind of interesting.

00:38:35.220 I would have thought it would have been a bigger fall given that this time last year was the lead up to the election.

00:38:40.840 All right, I'm not done.

00:38:41.500 Now, even worse is in the day on MSNBC, total viewership plummeting 26%, an average during the day of 596,000, so under 600,000 viewers on your average MSNBC daily show, and 57,000 in the key demo.

00:38:59.400 Under 50,000 is slashies.

00:39:01.380 They don't even give you the number.

00:39:02.620 You don't know what you got under 50,000.

00:39:04.740 You just know you got slashies, which means you are a loser.

00:39:08.000 That's really what that means.

00:39:09.200 Double L for loser.

00:39:12.560 So they're getting 600,000 in the daytime and 57,000 in the demo.

00:39:18.480 That's a nightmare.

00:39:20.700 Let me do CNN.

00:39:21.880 They're in last place.

00:39:23.500 They're lower than MSNBC.

00:39:26.420 How can you go lower?

00:39:28.300 So I'm ripping on MSNBC for having a million, averaging in the prime time.

00:39:32.440 Guess what CNN's averages in the prime time?

00:39:36.340 538,000 in the overall.

00:39:39.200 In the total viewers, under 540,000 people.

00:39:44.960 This is CNN.

00:39:46.600 It's the face, like, of the airport TV.

00:39:48.800 Everybody knows CNN.

00:39:50.140 No one wants to buy the product.

00:39:52.060 In the demo, 105,000 in the prime time.

00:39:57.100 They're averaging 105,000.

00:39:58.880 So on MSNBC, it's 91,000.

00:40:00.940 So CNN's a little over MS in the demo, but last in the overall.

00:40:05.840 That's humiliating.

00:40:08.000 And that's a 15% drop in the demo and 13% drop in the overall.

00:40:12.820 Let's see.

00:40:14.120 During the day, they're averaging 400,000 and 71,000 in the key demo.

00:40:19.580 And CNN, when asked about this by the New York Post, who loves to do rating stories, it's kind of funny.

00:40:27.500 They go to them for a comment.

00:40:29.140 And they say, June was the highest month of 2025 for CNN television in the U.S.

00:40:34.640 Okay.

00:40:35.520 That's not helpful to you.

00:40:37.720 Then they say, stories like these are an outdated view of the media landscape and do not reflect how audiences today actually consume news.

00:40:48.800 Exactly.

00:40:50.520 Because how audiences consume news today is from Stu Bergeer and Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson and all sorts of people in the digital lane.

00:41:00.580 That's where Americans are getting their news.

00:41:02.160 Not from outdated dinosaurs like CNN.

00:41:05.140 Yeah, that's so true.

00:41:09.140 And those numbers, it's hard to describe to maybe somebody who's not in television how catastrophic those numbers are.

00:41:15.720 My first job in television was with Glenn Beck.

00:41:18.240 We worked at CNN Headline News.

00:41:20.880 They didn't even put us on the regular CNN.

00:41:22.680 We were on like the stepsister.

00:41:25.120 And even there, we were beating those numbers you're describing.

00:41:29.040 That's unbelievable.

00:41:31.080 That should not be happening.

00:41:32.300 And, of course, part of it is like, you know, you've had, you know, an incredible run here.

00:41:37.100 I've seen your podcast rankings, Megan.

00:41:39.220 Like, you know, there's a lot.

00:41:40.200 There is a different way that people consume media these days.

00:41:44.320 That's certainly part of that.

00:41:46.060 But, like, there's also a part of it that goes back to what you were talking about earlier, which is the winning.

00:41:50.680 Right?

00:41:50.900 Like, I'm a big consumer of sports content.

00:41:53.980 I love my sports.

00:41:54.780 When my team loses, it sucks to listen to the podcast that next day.

00:41:58.420 When there's bad news, when there's a terrible injury, when you know your team is just rudderless and you've got three rebuilding years ahead of you, it kind of sucks.

00:42:08.500 And you kind of avoid it and you listen less and you deal with it less.

00:42:12.980 I think that's where a lot of the people on the left are right now.

00:42:15.760 You know, I think they're looking at this and they're like, everything I'm tuning into is more and more bad news.

00:42:20.660 And I don't want to live in that world.

00:42:23.380 I think it's why they get excited when, like, Zoran Mamdani wins a Democratic primary in New York.

00:42:30.500 Hey, it's some good news.

00:42:32.080 Some people saying some socialist stuff have some actual positive things to say for once.

00:42:37.180 It's really a collapse of everything that they've believed in.

00:42:40.920 And I think there's this tendency on the left, and it somewhat exists on the right, but I think it's more prevalent on the left, that when you lose, you don't examine.

00:42:48.560 You don't think about, God, what did we do wrong?

00:42:50.420 Like, what are the things that we did wrong?

00:42:52.180 How do we improve this next time?

00:42:54.080 It's instead this, like, doubling down and incentivizing the worst voices of that side.

00:42:58.340 It's why you see a rise of someone like Jasmine Crockett right now, who is obviously a dunce in every way possible and can't possibly be the face of your movement if you're going to be a success.

00:43:08.840 But she's getting embraced by the left right now.

00:43:11.260 She's being promoted.

00:43:12.200 Mamdani is another example.

00:43:13.440 The AOCs of the world getting, you know, these huge crowds as they go across the country.

00:43:17.800 It is further incentivizing them to double, triple, quadruple down on the same policies that got them in this trouble.

00:43:23.960 And Republicans are famous for screwing opportunities like this up.

00:43:29.920 Donald Trump, I think, is doing everything he can to make sure that is not going to happen this time.

00:43:34.320 I don't want to take anything for granted, but this is an incredible opportunity for conservatives, for people who believe in fundamental principles, constitutional values, to make real gains.

00:43:44.280 We're seeing it in the courts.

00:43:45.500 We've seen it in politics recently.

00:43:47.700 There's much more to do, but I think we're going in the right direction, and there's some reason for optimism.

00:43:52.580 But I'll tell you something.

00:43:54.920 The Democrats were depressed when George W. Bush won and then won re-election.

00:44:04.040 They were very depressed after Trump won first time.

00:44:07.860 And they still tuned in to MSNBC and CNN.

00:44:12.180 And they were depressed.

00:44:13.220 The Fox News viewers were depressed.

00:44:14.620 When Barack Obama won twice, trust me, I was there.

00:44:17.200 They were very depressed.

00:44:18.600 But they tuned in.

00:44:19.800 There were, like, maybe a couple of months where they tuned out and said, I can't.

00:44:24.800 It's too stomach-turning.

00:44:26.460 And then they always came back.

00:44:28.080 And not just on Fox.

00:44:29.140 They came back to the other networks, too, when they suffered losses.

00:44:32.120 The reason there's been no rebound, and, in fact, it continues to go downhill for places like MS and CNN, even though they're already at an 11 on their TDS.

00:44:41.980 It's Hitler, Hitler, you know, whatever.

00:44:45.260 Joy Reid's independent now.

00:44:46.460 But she's out there saying these are, like, Holocaust cages down at the Alligator Alcatraz for brown people.

00:44:52.680 I mean, she's a crazy lady.

00:44:53.860 And she was the face of their network for many, many years.

00:44:56.060 The reason the numbers are still low, even though they're sounding the alarm and they're doing all the stuff that you do when you're in the opposition over there, is their model is dead.

00:45:07.060 They may or may not realize it's dead.

00:45:09.760 That people are not consuming news.

00:45:12.000 That the only thing that CNN said that was right is that these reflect, you know, these stories are dependent on an outdated way of looking at media.

00:45:20.820 True, but not in the way they're complaining about people are not turning to the traditional sources of media in the way they used to at all.

00:45:29.520 Right now, Fox News has had a resurgence because the Trump faithful feel, as I do, that every day is Christmas and they can't get enough of the news.

00:45:36.920 But mark my words, Fox will go down, too, as soon as Trump leaves office.

00:45:41.020 And CNN and MSNBC are not salvageable.

00:45:43.460 They have totally sold out on the TDS.

00:45:45.480 CNN used to be able at least to claim it was down the middle.

00:45:48.040 It can't anymore.

00:45:48.960 It abandoned the project of trying to make itself so.

00:45:51.980 They have absolutely no dynamic personalities over there.

00:45:54.580 There's no star that makes you want to tune in because they're really super interesting and you're going to hear something you don't hear anyplace else.

00:46:00.620 You just see a bunch of Trump haters day in, day out.

00:46:03.720 It's boring, Stu.

00:46:06.420 Yeah, it is.

00:46:07.440 It's boring.

00:46:07.920 We've seen the movie before, right?

00:46:09.320 Like, we've seen this before.

00:46:10.620 You know, they get more and more excited and more and more angry.

00:46:13.540 And the warnings escalate.

00:46:16.380 It's essentially their same approach that they tried with global warming, right?

00:46:20.840 Where every single time it was going to be worse and you were going to die sooner and it was going to be more painful of a death from the sun.

00:46:27.480 All of these things happen.

00:46:28.760 And it just stops working on people, right?

00:46:30.740 After a while.

00:46:31.380 And in Greta Thunberg's case, when it didn't work, when we lived and the globe actually didn't turn into one big puddle of water, she switched to Palestine.

00:46:39.640 Right, right.

00:46:40.440 It's not the sun that's going to kill you.

00:46:41.600 It's the Jews.

00:46:42.560 The Jews will get you.

00:46:44.120 That's where she went.

00:46:45.800 And, you know, at some point, human beings are like, wait a minute.

00:46:49.280 You've been telling me this for a while.

00:46:50.560 It is the boy who cried wolf story.

00:46:52.440 It's a story that's hung around for a very long time because it's got a reason.

00:46:55.920 Donald Trump is not Hitler.

00:46:57.140 This is an idiotic thing to say.

00:46:59.960 And it goes back to that self-examination point.

00:47:02.160 How they don't get that this is not going to work is shocking to me.

00:47:06.460 Shocking.

00:47:07.420 How can it be that your approach after losing this election is to go back to say he's even a worse Hitler?

00:47:16.360 How could, like, just from a strategic perspective, there has to be somebody, you'd think, on the left that is saying, guys, anything but this.

00:47:25.460 We've tried this.

00:47:26.240 We tried it the entire time.

00:47:28.060 We had an old white guy say it and a younger black woman say it.

00:47:32.800 And nobody cares.

00:47:34.640 Nobody believes it.

00:47:35.940 He's already been president.

00:47:38.300 They went through a term.

00:47:39.400 They might not have even liked it, but they all know he's not Hitler.

00:47:43.380 They all know he's not actually feeding illegal immigrants to alligators.

00:47:47.980 They understand this.

00:47:49.160 And, you know, if you're going to try, there's a road.

00:47:52.760 We've had strength restored for America on the national stage, the international stage.

00:47:57.340 You're not embarrassed of your president anymore because you know he's over there in Depends.

00:48:03.260 And God only knows what else just to get him into the meeting where somebody else is going to have to take over if he doesn't have his trusty teleprompter.

00:48:11.080 This president is strong.

00:48:13.320 He means business.

00:48:14.320 He's smart.

00:48:15.380 He's savvy.

00:48:16.220 And he's getting real results.

00:48:18.640 Look what happened in NATO.

00:48:20.220 President Biden, he was so obsessed with NATO that one of his top aides said to an author writing one of those Joe Biden books, he thought he was president of NATO.

00:48:30.540 Joe Biden thought he was president of NATO.

00:48:32.120 It was both because he was, you know, having delusions and was suffering dementia and because he was obsessed with NATO and how strong NATO needed.

00:48:40.640 Did he get NATO countries to commit to spending 5% of their GDP on self-defense and military shoring up?

00:48:49.240 No, he didn't.

00:48:50.100 This president did because it is peace through strength.

00:48:53.420 He gets no credit for it.

00:48:54.500 I wanted to go back as we finish off the hour to the story about the trans cyclists because you're right.

00:49:00.740 We're done.

00:49:01.140 We're done, you know, pretending that the media is honest, pretending that Hitler and Trump have something in common, as the CNN and MSNBC want to tell us.

00:49:10.520 We are done pretending that illegal immigration, allowing it and ignoring the problems, is kind.

00:49:16.400 And we're definitely done with pretending men are women.

00:49:19.060 This person who stole the medal is named Phillips.

00:49:25.520 The last name is Phillips.

00:49:27.180 I think it's Kate Phillips.

00:49:28.500 And he says this, what we need, there's a faction out there, he says, just can't stand seeing change.

00:49:35.460 Now the focus is on the trans and non-gender conformity.

00:49:39.720 And he says, what we need is more women.

00:49:43.620 That's what's better for all sports, including women, trans, femme, and non-binary.

00:49:50.580 What we need is more femme and non-binary and trans in women's sports.

00:49:56.580 And you look at this and you almost have to laugh.

00:49:59.640 Like, sir, we're no longer listening to you lunatics.

00:50:03.400 Okay.

00:50:03.740 You stole this medal.

00:50:06.180 You didn't belong.

00:50:07.380 And we know that you are not the rightful winner.

00:50:09.900 Uh, KJ, Kate, KJ Phillips.

00:50:12.300 In fact, the rightful winner was Julie Peterson.

00:50:15.820 She's who won gold.

00:50:16.940 She's who refused to take the podium.

00:50:19.340 She's our champion today.

00:50:21.340 Stu, stand by more right after this.

00:50:23.720 It wasn't supposed to get this bad.

00:50:25.780 You know, remember the time when you actually were on top of your bills, then inflation hit

00:50:29.700 groceries, gas, everything shot up prices up 26% from just a few years ago.

00:50:34.720 It's not necessarily your fault.

00:51:45.120 Advice.

00:51:49.560 Stu, you may have heard that Sean Diddy Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges against

00:51:55.200 him.

00:51:56.040 He was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.

00:52:00.120 Now the two sides are arguing over how much time that should get him in prison.

00:52:05.000 He was denied his request to remain free pending sentencing, which happens on October

00:52:11.100 2nd, I think.

00:52:12.500 He was smug and right back to his entitled self in court yesterday evening, demanding to

00:52:21.040 speak to the judge personally when he gathered that he wasn't going to be allowed to remain

00:52:26.100 free because earlier, once he had been acquitted of those serious charges and found guilty on

00:52:31.400 the least serious, I mean, it's not a walk in the park, the time that you'd have to do

00:52:34.480 on the prostitution counts, but it's way lighter than he would have gotten.

00:52:38.760 He was super jubilant.

00:52:40.540 He was allowed by this court to get down on his knees in the middle of the courtroom and

00:52:44.840 pray to God, thank God.

00:52:46.900 He's a God-fearing man.

00:52:48.100 He's super faithful.

00:52:49.560 In between beatings of the girlfriends he's with, he loves to beat them to a fucking pulp

00:52:54.440 and then pray to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

00:52:57.140 That's how it works.

00:52:58.980 So he, at that point in the trial proceedings, was like, the judge made some stupid, inappropriate

00:53:04.320 joke about how, I'm sure you'd love to leave the detention center, Mr. Combs.

00:53:08.040 And, inappropriate in tone and comment in substance.

00:53:12.900 And Diddy was like, yes, you know, he put his hands together like, oh yes, laughing with

00:53:18.440 his hands, like praying, please do that for me, judge.

00:53:21.000 Give me a break.

00:53:22.200 I threw up in my mouth.

00:53:23.740 And then by the time they got back at five o'clock to actually issue a ruling on whether

00:53:28.700 he could stay free, the judge, who was a newbie, had apparently spoke with some more

00:53:33.380 seasoned judges on the bench in SDNY and said, get your ass back to prison.

00:53:39.840 And at that point, Diddy reportedly looked stunned and forlorn and his newfound hubris

00:53:47.140 walked out the door with him because he was like, I just need to speak to the judge directly.

00:53:51.840 He's convinced.

00:53:53.060 He's Diddy.

00:53:54.040 He can charm his way out of anything.

00:53:55.800 And I do believe his wealth, his fame, his swagger charmed this jury right out of finding

00:54:03.900 that he had sex trafficked these women, not to mention guilty of the RICO claim, which

00:54:08.400 I think they had, they got, they had him dead to rights on.

00:54:10.660 So now they're arguing about whether he should get two years in jail per the government, sorry,

00:54:15.740 per the defense or four to five years in jail per the prosecution.

00:54:20.000 And he'll already get time served for the 10 months in prison.

00:54:23.240 What do you make of all these results?

00:54:24.480 It was one of those things that as an outsider, you're watching this and you're seeing all

00:54:27.760 these accusations, you're seeing all these terrible things.

00:54:29.920 And it's hard to know what to make of it when it comes to the legal aspects, right?

00:54:34.220 Sometimes I'm, I will say as an observer and not a legal expert like you, Megan, like I

00:54:39.020 see these things and sometimes I'm like, I don't even understand that result.

00:54:42.540 I, you watch it from sort of a gut instinct at some level.

00:54:46.920 And as I'm watching this, I'm seeing, you know, you see these text messages.

00:54:51.460 They tried to promote the text messages that looked like, you know, maybe these girls were

00:54:55.660 into this at least at one point and all of this.

00:54:58.140 And it goes back and forth.

00:54:59.400 And I just, you know, watching, watching him celebrate afterward, I was just brought back

00:55:05.840 to the fact that I'm pretty sure I experienced, which was watching a video in which he beat

00:55:12.580 the hell out of a woman in a hotel.

00:55:14.200 Like that happened, right?

00:55:16.640 Like that, that was a real thing.

00:55:18.620 It wasn't AI.

00:55:19.820 Multiple times.

00:55:21.280 And, you know, that didn't even seem to be dealt with here.

00:55:24.880 You know, it seemed to be like, oh, well, did he, you know, did he sex traffic these

00:55:28.240 women?

00:55:28.700 You know, what was he using force to convince them to commit these acts of commercial sex

00:55:33.480 or was it just coercion?

00:55:35.300 It doesn't even have to be physical force.

00:55:37.660 Right.

00:55:38.240 Coercion.

00:55:38.700 Yeah.

00:55:39.220 Or even a threat of force is one of the standards, right?

00:55:41.600 I think there's four standards.

00:55:42.400 Um, but regardless, like, yeah, regardless, what do you mean?

00:55:47.820 He didn't use force.

00:55:48.820 He did.

00:55:49.500 I saw it.

00:55:50.760 I watched the video.

00:55:52.320 I saw this happen.

00:55:53.120 And I think that's why it's so shocking to the American people.

00:55:56.040 Like these are things that are so overtly over the line.

00:56:00.240 If you do that thing that I saw on video one time, I never want to see you ever walking

00:56:06.840 around again for any reason outside of a prison cell, period.

00:56:10.420 Like that is already way.

00:56:13.260 The fact that you can bring yourself over that line to do it just one time under any

00:56:18.040 circumstance is more than enough.

00:56:21.280 And, you know, I don't know what legal loophole.

00:56:24.280 I don't know if it was, you know, they just thought they liked his songs from the 90s.

00:56:28.800 I have no idea what the jury was thinking here.

00:56:30.940 It doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

00:56:32.300 But, uh, at the end of the day, what is right is the fact that a person who does that is

00:56:37.960 not available in public to be able to do it again.

00:56:41.580 And the fact that that might happen in a few years or maybe less is, is a, it's a catastrophe.

00:56:47.740 Well, look at this.

00:56:48.660 There's a deadlines.

00:56:50.400 Dominic Patton with a different prediction.

00:56:53.720 Stop five.

00:56:54.200 You know, I hate to say this, but in America, you can just ask Bill Clinton, if you say

00:56:59.000 sorry enough, eventually enough people forgive you being that he can now legitimately say

00:57:04.780 he got off on the majority of these counts from a prosecution who way overreached and

00:57:09.540 underplayed.

00:57:10.280 Again, I don't understand why you do Rico, but you only charge one guy.

00:57:14.180 Like maybe you need to look up what Rico is to that.

00:57:17.020 I think that you are going to see how he plays out the next few years of his career,

00:57:21.240 given or given, not whatever the prison sentence might be.

00:57:24.320 I don't think we've seen the end of Sean Diddy Combs.

00:57:28.140 Oh my God.

00:57:30.160 Sean Diddy Combs, in my opinion, is an animal.

00:57:34.120 He is an animal, serial woman abuser who is a disgusting pervert to boot.

00:57:41.120 The testimonials, right up to the moment he was arrested, when he knew he was under federal

00:57:47.220 investigation, he was still doing this with Jane, not just the freak offs where she didn't

00:57:54.580 want to do it and he was making her go back out and do it, but the beatings.

00:57:59.080 He never stopped.

00:57:59.820 He loves to beat women.

00:58:01.320 He gets a real Jones at a beating the hell out of women who are a fraction of his size.

00:58:07.100 He thinks it makes him super manly.

00:58:09.380 It makes him feel really powerful and strong and in control.

00:58:13.260 It's so fun watching them bleed and need plastic surgeons and cower in fear and roll up in

00:58:18.780 a ball to protect their internal organs and play dead so he might lay off of them and jump

00:58:23.940 into the arms of the escort you've hired, shaking because they're so terrified of him.

00:58:28.360 That makes him feel like a real man.

00:58:30.260 But you know what?

00:58:31.100 We're a real forgiving country.

00:58:33.020 So sure, he could have another second act.

00:58:36.260 It's a no.

00:58:37.260 It's disgusting.

00:58:38.120 How are we even having that discussion on the heels of this?

00:58:41.680 I don't care that it didn't rise to the level in these 12 people's minds of beyond a reasonable

00:58:46.800 doubt for sex trafficking.

00:58:48.360 There's no question he did the beatings.

00:58:50.640 He didn't even dispute it, Stu.

00:58:53.900 How could he?

00:58:54.960 It was on video.

00:58:55.980 There's no way to dispute it.

00:58:57.440 It happened.

00:58:58.100 We all saw it.

00:58:59.000 You're right.

00:58:59.440 He didn't even dispute it.

00:59:01.060 And, you know, I don't know.

00:59:03.580 I have maybe we've had such an optimistic first hour in our chat.

00:59:08.740 We'll get back there.

00:59:09.300 We'll get back there.

00:59:10.040 Yeah.

00:59:10.540 Maybe I'm caught in that world where I don't think the American people are going to widely

00:59:16.020 embrace him again.

00:59:17.940 I hope he doesn't have a second act.

00:59:21.620 You know, I hope he never gets out of prison.

00:59:23.200 My guess is he will eventually.

00:59:24.580 And he probably will attempt it.

00:59:26.480 He's a man that, you know, wants attention and certainly craves it.

00:59:31.480 I don't I really hope the American people don't do that.

00:59:34.500 But we are in a world a strange place.

00:59:36.200 I mean, we just went through several months of half the country telling us a an illegal

00:59:41.500 immigrant who was shipped to El Salvador was actually a hero, even though he also had

00:59:46.720 beat his wife.

00:59:47.460 And we were supposed to embrace him and be worried about protecting him rather than protecting

00:59:52.320 the women that that they were beating.

00:59:55.460 That's a society that is at least partially insane.

01:00:01.200 You know, when you see something like this on video, your reaction should be really clear.

01:00:06.440 It should be revulsion.

01:00:07.520 And our odds are our law should be set up to make sure something like that doesn't happen.

01:00:12.380 They shouldn't be set up to for all of us to sit here and whine about, you know, some

01:00:17.080 illegal immigrant that came in and has committed multiple crimes, including physical abuse.

01:00:21.500 That shouldn't be the thing we're looking to protect.

01:00:23.140 That shouldn't be the thing we're all on TV yelling about.

01:00:25.760 And we're all excited about making sure he's protected and can get back with his wonderful

01:00:29.440 family life, which seems to involve fists a little bit too often for my tastes.

01:00:34.560 Instead, we should be able to unite around this.

01:00:37.820 I mean, I mean, Combs isn't even a political figure, which maybe makes things more divisive.

01:00:42.100 But he's he's a celebrity.

01:00:43.980 And, you know, I saw outside of the courtroom people cheering, celebrating the fact that

01:00:50.560 he had only been minor charges, putting baby oil on stuff like it was some hilarious thing.

01:00:55.720 I saw like some guy you probably saw the same guy with the T-shirt that said Freaco is not

01:01:00.300 a Rico. And I thought to myself, what what sickness has to get into your brain to not only like maybe

01:01:08.240 disagree with me and you on the merits of this case, but to want to print a T-shirt and stand

01:01:14.120 out and celebrate a man who we all saw beat up a woman on video like to to even if he didn't do

01:01:23.120 that, to just celebrate, you know, a certain a level of sexual deviancy that used to be really

01:01:29.260 easy to just to look down upon and say it was a bad idea.

01:01:34.260 All this stuff is now, you know, I don't know, praised and celebrated by a portion of the

01:01:39.460 population that I think is small as a number, but way too big on on an absolute basis.

01:01:46.820 It's disgusting. I'm just so I'm forlorn about the ditty result. I really am. I hope this judge

01:01:52.980 gives him the maximum he can possibly give him. I really do. I hope he gets 10 years or more because

01:01:58.620 he's guilty on two counts that could hold a 10 year sentence. I don't think that's going to happen.

01:02:02.480 And unfortunately, SDNY judges have a reputation for sentencing under the sentencing guidelines.

01:02:09.460 Who knows why? Maybe it was just a more liberal town or they're worried about overcrowding,

01:02:13.700 but it doesn't look like he's going to do too much time. We'll we'll find out on October 2nd.

01:02:19.020 Another follow up on a case we were live for many hours on yesterday, Brian Kohlberger.

01:02:24.740 We talked about this. We had a very, very smart panel watching him plead guilty and then

01:02:31.040 analyzing it right after we we had Matt Murphy, who's a lifetime prosecutor, putting bad guys,

01:02:37.220 including eight serial killers in jail. And we had Howard Bloom, who has had tons of exclusives

01:02:42.300 on this case and really has been leading the reporting. And Phil Holloway joined us as well.

01:02:46.540 And one of the things we all reacted to after we watched the hearing with this judge who allowed

01:02:50.340 a guilty plea on the murder of those four young people in Idaho, as opposed to having a trial where

01:02:55.800 the death penalty would remain on the table, was that he opened the hearing yesterday with a

01:03:00.780 little lecture for Steve Gonsalves, the father of Kaylee Gonsalves, one of the murder victims.

01:03:06.600 And he didn't mention him by name, but he started the hearing by saying some people close to this case

01:03:13.020 have asked others to call this court. And that is totally inappropriate and out of line.

01:03:19.760 I haven't listened to the messages. I haven't read the emails and I won't because I will not be

01:03:25.500 influenced by anything other than the law and the facts. Okay, fine. You shouldn't be influenced by

01:03:32.200 anything other than law and the facts. But how about you don't open the hearing where you are taking

01:03:39.320 the guilty plea of a man who murdered four young people by chastising one of their parents for a moment

01:03:49.840 of anger in which he asked for you to have to deal with a couple of angry calls? What in the actual F?

01:03:57.720 So now Steve Gonsalves, he noticed it too. My panel and I picked up on it right away. And Steve Gonsalves,

01:04:05.800 the dad, he noticed it too, because it was one of the first things he commented on when he spoke last

01:04:12.560 night. He actually went on with, um, on Ashley Banfield show. And here he is speaking to what

01:04:19.880 judge Hippler two peas did yesterday and sought six. Four souls were lost for one Brian. Brian's

01:04:27.660 not worth one of these people, let alone four. And I'll never accept the deal where one fricking

01:04:33.760 Brian gets locked up in daycare for fricking adults. And, uh, that's supposed to be equivalent

01:04:39.300 to four souls for Idahoans, four of us guys, four of us in college doing everything to the best of

01:04:46.180 our ability. One loser from Pennsylvania is, is in his life, in our system, taking care of him.

01:04:52.280 That's equivalent. That's equivalent. You need to keep calling. You need to keep calling people like

01:04:57.200 Hippler. And, uh, maybe he doesn't get reelected. Maybe, uh, maybe he needs to pick up that phone

01:05:03.460 and, uh, hear those calls and understand who he represents because this is Idaho and we

01:05:09.280 hold you accountable. Okay. And then he gave a paper statement after the appearance was posted

01:05:16.320 by Brian Anton of news nation yesterday after seven. And it reads in part as follows. The plea

01:05:21.680 started off with a judge who was angry about people reaching out to him and then went further to stand

01:05:26.680 on his soapbox stating nothing affects his decisions in this case or any other case. And he has not and

01:05:32.420 will not read any comments. Maybe that wasn't the best way to start a plea involving the murder of

01:05:37.760 four Idaho college students. Our hope is that the judge might reflect back on his decisions today

01:05:43.060 and take the high road next time and not make the plea of a murderer about him and his decision.

01:05:50.040 Maybe he will show some empathy to the victim's families who have been in this torture chamber

01:05:54.880 for over two years while he only became involved a few months ago. Right on Steve Gonsalves. I just feel

01:06:02.840 like the whole system out there has basically been giving the families the stiff arm or the middle

01:06:08.360 finger from the start, gagging the family members from even speaking about what happened to their loved

01:06:15.420 ones over the objections of. Now we know two of the families, Zanna Cronotto's family also objected to

01:06:23.120 giving this guy a plea and taking the death penalty off the table. And two of the family members supported

01:06:28.020 it. So you had two for two against letting the families know via email that they had cut the

01:06:33.420 deal. And then to this judge opening the plea hearing by chastising one of the grieving family

01:06:40.620 members, a parent of, of a dead girl, there's something wrong with the way this has been handled.

01:06:49.440 Incredibly wrong. And, you know, I can understand being maybe a family member of, of one of these

01:06:55.140 victims and just being at the end of your rope, right? Like maybe you just don't want to go through

01:06:58.800 any, any other levels of this. You don't want to deal with any more. You know, that might be,

01:07:02.820 everyone has to grieve and go through that process in a totally different way. Um, that shouldn't be

01:07:07.240 how this is influenced should be how it's handled. I mean, the legal system is set up to, to take

01:07:12.840 ourselves a little bit out of the system of, of emotions. Um, it's supposed to be based on the law

01:07:19.400 and our standards. And it doesn't seem like this case was, um, you know, this, it's a fascinating

01:07:24.600 case. Uh, you know, I, I go to a crime con every year and they had a panel on this and they were

01:07:29.260 discussing it. Um, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's fascinating to me that there's a, you know,

01:07:34.440 they, they, they do incredible things there and, and, uh, it's a, it's a great event. And, but part of

01:07:40.180 this is it's about, uh, victims rights, right? Like it's about these victims being able to get their

01:07:45.280 stories heard. And so many of them get forgotten and, and you're doing a panel on this and they're

01:07:49.840 prescribing these crimes. And it was, it's almost, it's almost different. It's impossible to listen

01:07:54.580 to. It's so disconcerting to even hear the details of it. These poor, innocent people, uh, going through

01:08:01.820 this torturous situation. And, and I don't know, maybe I think of these things. Sometimes I pull

01:08:07.280 myself out of, of the actual case. And I think about, uh, this is a, you know, almost from, you know,

01:08:12.860 my day to day is more talking about policy. And it's like, you can have a country that has no

01:08:18.260 death penalty. A lot of countries have that situation. That's a situation you can have if

01:08:22.140 your people demand it. But if you are a nation that has capital punishment, how on earth does

01:08:29.300 this case not rise to that standard? What else could it be? What, what, what else could rise to

01:08:35.400 it? This is as, uh, vicious and soulless of a crime that we have seen, uh, you know, in my lifetime,

01:08:43.680 it's a heartless and just, just so incredibly disturbing, not to mention it took a long time

01:08:49.620 and made these parents and, and, and friends go through this torturous process of where it was

01:08:54.360 denied and, and the chase was on and all of these different things that led to where we finally got

01:09:00.140 the other day. He avoids the whole trial situation and then, you know, gets out of the punishment that

01:09:06.940 our society, if you, if you think it's right or wrong, has determined as the ultimate punishment

01:09:12.180 and absolutely has to be applied. If it exists, if we're going to have this punishment,

01:09:18.740 this is the case for it. And it's, it's, it's disturbing. I understand the, you know,

01:09:23.980 the family members that are hesitant because they don't want to go through any more of this. And I

01:09:28.040 get that, but, you know, as a society, we have to maintain some standards when it comes to a vicious

01:09:33.340 crime like this. And I do think this, that's right. It's actually, it's about more than just the

01:09:36.880 families on, on justice on serving as a deterrent for the next killer. Um, and there's a real

01:09:43.700 argument there that the death penalty serves as the most effective deterrent and that the county

01:09:49.620 and beyond had an interest in seeing this guy put to death. The case was open and shut. They had his

01:09:57.440 DNA on the knife sheath that was left next to two of the four dead bodies. They had his car all over

01:10:05.000 the murder scene in the moments before. And the moments after they had him turning off his phone,

01:10:09.400 which was an unusual pattern for him at two 37 AM and turning it back on right after the murders.

01:10:16.760 They had an eyewitness in the murder house who laid eyes on him and saw his bushy eyebrows and can

01:10:23.660 describe a man who matches his description perfectly. They had the police finding him

01:10:28.440 when they arrested him back in Pennsylvania, stuffing his garbage into little plastic baggies

01:10:33.560 that he was depositing into the neighbor's trash cans. So as not to be detected by DNA by any lurking

01:10:40.240 law enforcement. And we learned yesterday as the prosecutor laid out the case, they had searched

01:10:46.300 his apartment to find that it had been meticulously scrubbed of anything of evidentiary value.

01:10:53.660 And also had his car, which he said had basically been dismantled piece by piece, not even the side

01:11:01.900 pockets where you sometimes throw a napkin or something had a speck of dirt or dust in them.

01:11:08.520 It was clear it had been disassembled, sterilized, and then put back together. Who does that? Who does

01:11:16.420 that? Not to mention the purchase of a K bar knife right before the murders, a couple of months before

01:11:22.640 the murders, as he made his way out to Idaho. And then the search for a replacement K bar knife

01:11:28.900 after the murders, which he clearly had discarded. Now we know he used it because he's admitted it

01:11:35.240 right after the murders, searching for a replacement and a replacement knife sheath.

01:11:40.100 And on top of all that, you have this picture, Stu, of the murderer. This is literally five hours after he took

01:11:52.120 four lives, which was at 412 in the morning on November 13th, 2022. And here he is after having

01:12:02.040 driven back to the crime scene to see whether anyone had stumbled upon his carnage. And at that

01:12:10.680 hour, things were still silent because the two surviving roommates were cowering in fear in their

01:12:16.120 rooms, unable to do anything. And he didn't see cops. He didn't see crime scene tape. He just saw a

01:12:23.880 quiet house. He drove back to his home. He had already spoken with his mother for an hour at 6 AM,

01:12:29.840 two hours after the murders. And he clearly showered off. And here he is in a white shirt,

01:12:35.080 buttoned up to the top, looking like a vampire, like all the blood had drained out of his body,

01:12:41.500 smiling, proud of himself, giving the thumbs up, wanting to memorialize his achievement,

01:12:48.760 his accomplishment. And for this man, we pulled the death penalty on an open and shut case. I don't

01:12:56.540 know what's wrong with this Idaho prosecutor, but it cowardice comes to mind. Yeah, there was no need,

01:13:05.160 right? This was obvious. You just laid out the details. Anyone can see what happened here. We

01:13:10.100 didn't even, I mean, we didn't even need a confession, frankly. There was so much evidence

01:13:15.560 in this case. And, you know, there should be a standard where we're trying to remove people like

01:13:23.260 this from polite society. Like that is what the legal system does in a case like this. We have to

01:13:29.840 make sure that people who are psychopathic enough to go through what had to be, you know, certainly the

01:13:38.520 most vicious attack that most of us can remember, to go through that. And then our

01:13:45.540 hours later be like, Hey, thumbs up to the cameras. Time to take a selfie. A person who is capable of

01:13:50.880 that is certainly capable of doing it again. Uh, and is certainly capable of really pretty much

01:13:57.860 anything. And so to remove him from our world, our society is what we've determined is the right

01:14:03.100 punishment for that. This is not, it's an open and shut case. And they did not need him to,

01:14:08.020 yeah, they did not need him to, uh, to, I know it's always easier. Of course you don't,

01:14:12.060 you never want to take a risk and God forbid something would go wrong. You never know.

01:14:15.560 We've all seen cases where the wrong thing has happened. You want to get that, uh, confession,

01:14:20.220 of course, locked up, but this was not going to be a tough one. This was not going to be a difficult

01:14:24.920 thing for the people, uh, of Idaho to determine. And, and thankfully you had internet searches,

01:14:31.040 uh, about Ted Bundy right after the murder. You had internet searches on sleeping victims,

01:14:37.060 uh, in murder cases. He was obsessed with Ted Bundy. He took another selfie of himself looking

01:14:42.500 just like Ted Bundy in the documentary in a hoodie sweatshirt. This was not a well man,

01:14:47.700 not to mention all of his writings, uh, as a teenager about how sick he was, about how dead

01:14:52.760 inside, about how he was a pile of meat who felt no emotion. I want to see Brian Kohlberger in the

01:15:00.460 electric chair. That's what I want. I want to see him in front of a firing squad. I've said this to

01:15:05.900 my audience before. I know I'm Catholic. I don't think I'm supposed to be in favor of the death

01:15:09.880 penalty. I don't care. I am. I am. I am in favor of the death penalty. And it's exactly for people

01:15:16.600 like this. He's a failed experiment of a human being. You know, there's something about, he's not

01:15:22.540 human. He's the devil's advocate. There's something evil about him and evil must be extinguished,

01:15:28.320 not allowed to wither on the vine, not put behind bars where it can still have a voice or get

01:15:34.000 interviewed by press or by college professors. Evil should be extinguished. And that's what should

01:15:38.760 happen to Brian Kohlberger. And unfortunately, because of a cowardly prosecutor now it won't.

01:15:44.480 Okay. Let's move on because I have to say the one thing about yesterday, we were on the air for four

01:15:49.120 hours and God bless my listeners for, and viewers for, for sticking with us. The one good thing about

01:15:54.100 it for me as a, as a news anchor, Stu is I'm so glad to mostly be done with these two,

01:16:00.280 you know, like what darkness Kohlberger, that case is so dark. And I, I feel so deeply for the

01:16:07.480 families who don't get to turn the page and just go on to covering other stories. You know,

01:16:11.600 they have to live with this loss and an acute, in an acute way forever. And on the Diddy trial,

01:16:17.160 we decided as a show, because it was such a big case and because too few people were covering it.

01:16:22.900 I don't know why, you know, is it because it's a black defendant? Is it because they too in the

01:16:28.980 entertainment world have been, have fallen under his spell in the way the people around Diddy did?

01:16:35.000 Well, I wasn't going to do that. I'm not under his spell. And we covered that case every single day

01:16:40.720 on AM update. Some of our audience complained, but they listened and often on the Megyn Kelly show.

01:16:46.500 And I'm thrilled to be done with it. It feels like getting immersed in scum, you know, in truly an

01:16:53.120 evil. So it's, it's wonderful as a news person to do, in fact, be able to turn the page. It's nice

01:16:59.580 to be able to talk about the big, beautiful bill. It's nice to be able to talk about the wins for

01:17:03.960 Riley gains and others. It's nice to be able to talk about joy read. Let's do that. That's a palate

01:17:09.080 cleanser. That's just fun. Bad. She's not evil. She's just, she's just fun. Bad. Um, let's go

01:17:16.460 to joy read that she's got it in her name. Joyful. Let's, let's see what she has to say.

01:17:20.900 She's very concerned about alligator Alcatraz. And here's why we tried to forget about him,

01:17:27.440 but Ron DeSantis is still governor of Florida. He took the comfy couch hosts on a tour of the

01:17:33.880 concentration camp that he's building in Florida, um, in order to, uh, round up people, round people

01:17:40.720 and throw them in a camp because he doesn't want them in Florida. Surprise, surprise. Uh, the

01:17:45.600 economy of Florida is going to be severely harmed by rounding up Brown people who, by the way,

01:17:51.920 all over this country, Latinos are afraid to go to work. Anybody who is perceived or looks Latino

01:17:57.380 is afraid to go to work. I know people who are not Latino, but they're Brown. And so they look

01:18:02.000 Latino to the naked eye. If you don't know any better who are walking around with their passports

01:18:05.740 who never leave home without a passport. Hmm. I have Latinos working for me. They're good.

01:18:10.940 They're fine. They're not worried at all. Everything's business as usual. Who's, who does

01:18:15.640 she know? She hanging out with a bunch of illegals who have committed crimes? Cause that's really

01:18:19.340 who's on the top of Tom Homan's priority list too. Yeah. Yeah. That's, it's a fascinating. Um,

01:18:25.220 it's such an interesting way that they just will take entire groups of people and talk for them.

01:18:29.820 They're always speaking for everyone else. Um, apparently all Brown people have the same opinion.

01:18:34.400 It's odd because I just went through all the, uh, new election polls from the election voter,

01:18:38.640 a survey that just came out this week. Donald Trump won Latino men. Yeah. They're in favor of

01:18:44.880 Trump and they're in favor of these policies. They're in favor of these policies. You know

01:18:48.460 why? Because Latino men are like other men and other, like, like other women, they believe in

01:18:52.860 the rule of law. They actually don't want people. They don't want a society, uh, that is run by

01:18:58.320 corruption. They don't want society that is run by ignoring laws of favored groups. Many of them

01:19:04.560 are here because they fled a nation that was applying those types of policies to them. Uh,

01:19:11.020 people like, uh, the United States attracts people. And the reason that it does that is at

01:19:15.760 least the hope that we're going to treat people fairly and not think of them as, you know,

01:19:20.320 Brown people, uh, to quote joy read, uh, the, the people that are going into this facility are not

01:19:25.520 Brown people, random Latino people who are just being rounded up on the streets. They are people who

01:19:31.900 have committed crimes and that's on top largely, as you point out with Tom Holman's, Holman's

01:19:37.060 priorities, on top of the crime that they committed by just being here in the first place illegally.

01:19:41.680 Um, you know, that's what Holman keeps saying. Worst first. Yeah, exactly. And, and, and look,

01:19:47.000 we've got a big problem there. It's going to take a while to deal with that. Um, and the, the,

01:19:51.960 the administration's tried to be upfront with people to say, like, look, if you came here

01:19:55.200 and I have some sympathy for this actually, um, Megan, because for a very long time in our country,

01:20:01.900 we treated, uh, crossing the border illegally, sort of like an understandable speeding violation,

01:20:10.060 right? Like, Oh, Hey, you know, I know it's Democrats and Republicans alike. And we said,

01:20:17.420 I know it's a, it looks, we put a sign up that says 20, but if you're going 35 and it's not going

01:20:21.620 to be a big deal, we kept saying, we can make it communicated to that. We had a party in the

01:20:25.180 United States. Joe Biden was on stage saying, we want you here. We invite you here. And so I have

01:20:30.940 some sympathy for people who said, well, they don't seem to really mean this. Uh, and some people did

01:20:37.160 come and did not commit additional crimes and did live what we would say is a relatively normal life

01:20:42.800 that doesn't make it. Okay. The fact that you committed a crime by crossing the border and that

01:20:47.760 we decided not to enforce and you did it for a very long time does not make you immune to, uh,

01:20:54.340 to this crime, um, you know, being addressed. The administration has been very upfront with those

01:20:59.700 people and said, we're not coming for you first. You're not our priority. Number one, number two,

01:21:05.400 if you really want to be part of this country, if you really do respect this nation, if you really

01:21:09.700 want to be here as part of the melting pot, that is America understand what the process needs to be.

01:21:14.720 You may have made a mistake before. We're going to give you an opportunity to go back to your home

01:21:19.700 and come back through the front door the proper way. I'm a big believer that what the people that

01:21:24.340 do that oftentimes make our country much, much better. The people who come here legally do

01:21:29.800 incredible things. They might even appreciate this nation more, uh, than a lot of the citizens do.

01:21:36.180 I put Joy Reid in that particular, uh, category. So go back and come back in the front way.

01:21:42.460 No, it's not hard to beat her. Come back. She, who is, who is Joy Reid's number one guest while

01:21:47.000 she had her show on NBC? Her favorite guest is the only person I can think of who is as racist

01:21:52.920 as she is. He absolutely hates white people in my opinion. And so does she, um, it's Ellie Mastel,

01:21:59.220 who is, um, a correspondent for the nation. He's still at it. So let me just give you a flavor of what

01:22:04.560 he was saying after this time last week, when we got those Supreme court rulings, including the one

01:22:10.680 stopping the nationwide injunction thing by the federal district court judges here, here,

01:22:15.600 here's his take her favorite guest MSNBC, which has no ratings anymore. And this is why watch

01:22:20.940 walk me through why you see this ruling as deeply dangerous, not for people who are birthright citizens,

01:22:30.080 but much more broadly for every American. Imagine Donald Trump wants to do something illegal to you,

01:22:37.420 Ali Velshi. Imagine that he wants to murder you. Imagine that he and Stephen Miller released an

01:22:42.720 entire policy explaining about how they can murder Canadian journalists who are working in America

01:22:49.800 because they're taking the jobs from real American journalists, right? So he's going to murder you.

01:22:55.620 So you, Ali Velshi, you go to court, you go to court in the Southern district of New York and you say

01:23:00.180 like, I don't, I don't, I don't think this murder thing is constitutional. It's clearly illegal.

01:23:05.360 And the court says, you're right, Ali Velshi. There's no way Donald Trump is allowed to murder

01:23:09.900 you. We're going to have an injunction. We're going to stay the, the executive order saying

01:23:14.820 that he's going to murder Canadian journalists. And so you're like, great, awesome. And you go home

01:23:19.560 and then Pat Kiernan shows up and he's like, what about me? I'm also a Canadian. Ashley Banfield shows

01:23:25.620 up. She's like, I'm also a Canadian. What's what about me? And the court's like, I can't help you

01:23:29.720 because Ali Velshi is the one who sued. So Pat Kiernan, if you don't want to be murdered,

01:23:35.100 you have to launch your entire own lawsuit in the Southern district of New York again,

01:23:40.320 to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't murder you. And while the Supreme court is deciding who

01:23:45.800 the Ali Velshi can't be murdered injunction applies to, guess what? Donald Trump starts murdering

01:23:52.560 people. That makes it very clear. Very clear. Yeah. Yeah. I got totally good. This is very

01:24:01.600 helpful. Ali missed out Trump. He wants to murder me, obviously. And this is, this all makes perfect

01:24:07.560 sense. There's nothing inappropriate about this analogy. Oh no, not at all. Especially when we're

01:24:12.200 talking about a guy that I saw get shot on stage. I don't know if anyone remembers this,

01:24:16.920 you know, it's so laughable and just so crazy still. Yes. And I, I don't, you know, I think

01:24:25.660 this is part of what happens. It just, this behavior just gets incentivized. It's like the

01:24:30.420 person I, I, I assume this person exists. I never see them on television, but there's probably a

01:24:35.740 sensible Democrat that could come out and say, you know, this probably has gotten a little bit

01:24:39.200 out of control. Like, you know, the fact that like every local court is trying to block nationwide

01:24:44.120 policy here. That is a real problem. Dan Turrentine would say that he's a voice of reason

01:24:48.020 on two way. There, there are a few, there are a few that most of them don't get booked. I will say

01:24:52.200 on television all that often or not enough. Um, you know, this is something that the Supreme Court

01:24:56.160 has been complaining about for a while. This isn't just some new thing under Donald Trump. I mean,

01:25:00.740 this has been a situation where it's gotten out of control. Every, you know, everyone wants to be

01:25:05.780 the superstar. They want to be the person who has this big, I stand, yeah, yeah. They want to be the

01:25:10.320 person who stand up and I stopped Donald Trump. I had this big injunction. I'm the one that was

01:25:13.800 responsible for that. That's not the way the system's supposed to operate. And the lefties

01:25:18.280 hated the nationwide injunctions when, when Obama was president, when Biden was president,

01:25:23.080 you know, I celebrated the nationwide injunction under title nine. I admitted that when this case

01:25:26.940 first got percolated up, I loved it. Um, doesn't mean it has to be allowed in perpetuity or that it's

01:25:32.480 totally appropriate. So whatever it's been struck down, it's going to help both Democrat and Republican

01:25:36.900 presidents. It has expanded the power of the presidency. And then I don't disagree with Charlie

01:25:40.640 Cook that the Congress may want to take a good, long, hard look at whether we want an executive

01:25:45.520 that empowered. I personally don't. I like a smaller presidency. Um, the problem is that Congress is

01:25:50.880 full of not all, but it's full of a lot of idiots. So no one's really looking to see them assert their

01:25:56.700 rights over the executive. Cause right now this executive has been very, very helpful in restoring

01:26:01.560 order, but I'm cognizant, cognizant of the fact that he won't be in there forever. And we don't know

01:28:51.160 The long, long, long filibuster by Hakeem Jeffries has stopped. And ABC News wants you to know he

01:28:59.260 shattered the record for the longest House floor remarks in U.S. history. Yay. But it's over. And

01:29:06.840 now they're going to vote on the BBB and it's going to pass. So great job, Hakeem. I don't,

01:29:12.480 whatever. Okay. That happened. Um, president Trump is going to be signing this thing tomorrow and it's

01:29:17.000 going to be big time celebrated. Okay. Secondly, Charlize Theron, there's something going on there.

01:29:25.160 She's adopted two children. I believe they're, they're two children of color to, are they two black

01:29:30.520 kids? They're American. And one of them, she says is trans. It's a boy who she claims is a girl.

01:29:38.740 And if memory serves, there is, um, yeah, there's another one who's a girl. Yes, exactly. I was right.

01:29:44.860 And I think that one too has some sort of gender issue. I could be wrong about the second one,

01:29:50.900 but if a right, if a right wing person like Amy Coney Barrett, by the way, adopts a black child,

01:29:56.500 like from Haiti, they get denounced by, um, these lefties as doing something inappropriate.

01:30:02.560 Like you're somehow depriving the child of the right cultural upbringing. But I guess if Charlene

01:30:07.540 Theron, who's an avowed liberal does it, it's fine. So she decided to go on a podcast tour for some

01:30:13.860 reason, sat down with call her daddy, the sex podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris all about

01:30:20.260 how much they love abortions. And this is Charlize Theron trying to sound like super cool girl.

01:30:27.120 And I'm going to let you decide for yourself, whether that's what she accomplished in SOT 26.

01:30:33.280 Do you have any sex tip for the girls? Um, I am the last person to ask. I'm like sounding very

01:30:40.800 cocky here, but I think it's because I found this freedom in my forties where I'm like, Oh my God.

01:30:45.540 So I just want to say this in perspective. I've probably had three one night stands in my entire

01:30:50.900 life. Okay. Uh, but I did just recently fuck a 26 year old and it was really fucking amazing.

01:30:57.440 Fuck. Yes. And I've never done that. And I was like, Oh, this is great. You should be the ones

01:31:01.940 that are like, fuck you. Like I'm going to have an orgasm. And yet I, my whole life was so concerned

01:31:07.640 about same, the same, same. Okay. Oh my God. So my advice would be this. Don't fucking do that

01:31:15.060 for two reasons. You're going to have better orgasms. And guess what? Your, your man's going

01:31:19.920 to like that. Okay. I think I just found my next parody. She played me in a movie and I can play her

01:31:26.120 in one too. What's going on there. I, I, I got to tell you super gear. I, I, I have to tell you

01:31:33.600 something. I kind of call bullshit because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women.

01:31:41.300 That's my belief. Okay. I'm entitled to my opinion and there's no reason to get into the details as to

01:31:48.020 why I believe it, but I believe it. And I don't think that she's telling the truth about the 26 year.

01:31:53.900 I think this is the way in the same way I told the audience, the story about how Doug and I have

01:31:57.680 a friend. A lot of our gay friends thought that this friend was gay. And, um, we never knew whether

01:32:04.400 he was gay or not, but this guy who was the suspected gay man would constantly make inappropriate,

01:32:09.160 like weird comments about my girlfriend looks amazing naked. And Doug would always be like,

01:32:14.560 straight men don't talk about their girlfriends like that. That's not that that's like a gay man's

01:32:18.320 idea of how a straight man would talk about his girlfriend. And, and I feel like this is an

01:32:22.600 overcompensation where she's like, I fucked it. I'm sorry to repeat it. It's vulgar.

01:32:26.720 The other girl's vulgar. And they're both really shockingly inappropriate. I think in the clip,

01:32:32.160 it was very off putting, but I, my theory is it's an overcompensation. Your thoughts.

01:32:38.100 That's a fact. It's fascinating. I, I, I, you know, it's a, a bizarre, bizarre society that

01:32:44.340 elevates, uh, that sort of conversation, I would say, um, strange. And, uh, I mean, I don't know.

01:32:50.140 I don't know. I, I mean, you might have more information on, on this than, uh, I definitely

01:32:54.160 do. It definitely, I will say this, Megan, definitely. Let me tell you something. She's

01:32:58.440 not going to be suing me for defamation. That's great. Um, I, by the way, that's opinion is not

01:33:05.900 suable for defamation anyway. Go ahead. It's just, just your opinion, Megan. You made that very clear,

01:33:11.320 very, very much just your opinion. Um, but it does seem like, uh, you know, it's like, I,

01:33:15.620 I guess that's supposed to make her like edgy, right? Like it's supposed to be, Hey, look at me.

01:33:20.900 I'll, I'll say it. I'll just say it. I like doing that. Uh, I, I just seems, it seems pathetic. It

01:33:25.980 seems like you're trying too hard. And, and I, there is an element there of like, everybody knows

01:33:30.780 that person who is trying to pretend that there's something else. Maybe it's just that she's very

01:33:35.160 boring and stays home on, on a Friday nights. I don't know, Megan, but it definitely seems like

01:33:39.260 there's something she's compensating for. Okay. Could be that. I'll entertain your theory. Maybe

01:33:43.700 it's just that she's boring and not something else, but okay. Uh, she's 49 years old. She's

01:33:49.520 trying to sound like she's 26 years old and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. She's one of our

01:33:54.620 biggest stars. That's true. Act like it, act like it, have some class, like honestly, who like,

01:33:59.740 it's a very strange thing to see one of our best known actresses sit down like that with the cross

01:34:04.080 legs, with this sex podcaster talking about their orgasms and who they effed. It's just really

01:34:08.960 off putting and feels really off. Just it's a turnoff here. She doubles down on how little she

01:34:15.340 needs a man in her life. Hello. Back to my theory. Uh, it's even when it comes to child rearing sought

01:34:20.800 27. I think people look at it. So like in, in our society is this kind of something must be wrong

01:34:29.040 with her, right? With women, it's always like something must be wrong with her. She can't keep

01:34:32.840 a man. And it's, it can, it's never part of the discussion of like, wow, she's really living her

01:34:38.340 truth. Like she's living in her happiness. Like this is actually a choice that she made. I like

01:34:43.940 wanted to just like, look at them and just be like, do you know how fucking great it is to live exactly

01:34:49.080 how I want to live, to experience motherhood exactly how I wanted to experience it. And my fucking

01:34:56.300 God, do I love every single day of it. I love that. I don't have to share them with somebody.

01:35:02.000 I love that. I don't have to run every fucking thing by a guy. I don't, I love that. I don't,

01:35:07.860 well, Oh my God. I like, I fucking love that. I don't have to do any of that stuff.

01:35:14.500 Okay. I just have to say something about the swearing. I love a good F bomb. The audience knows

01:35:19.160 that it has to be strategically deployed. If you, when one really feels it, really feels it,

01:35:26.640 the audience will forgive you for it. But every sentence and F bomb F in this,

01:35:31.840 F and that F and God F and like, what is that? This is like an affectation where she's trying to act

01:35:37.740 like, again, the young, cool girl, I get it. And I don't need a man. She's got two children. They

01:35:44.400 don't need a father. Okay. I like, she's super proud of the fact that there's no father in the

01:35:48.160 picture. Great. Good for you. It's a psychotic view of what marriage is marriage and parenthood is

01:35:55.820 not like, Oh, I got to run this by my wife. If my son's going to play in his little league team,

01:36:02.520 like that's not what, that's not what marriage is. That's not, again, I don't know. How do you even

01:36:06.300 talk to somebody who thinks that way? It's like, it's someone who it's like an alien that dropped

01:36:09.700 out of the, you know, out of another planet. And you're trying to explain to them basic human,

01:36:14.000 you know, uh, desires, needs, wants, uh, you know, there's a lot of real positives that come

01:36:19.980 out of it. You'd be shocked. Maybe if she tried it, she'd enjoy it. You know, all of human history,

01:36:25.700 what we've seen is that people do, you know, yes, there are problems. Yes. Sometimes, of course,

01:36:30.560 everyone has their frustrations in a relationship. I suppose sitting by yourself all the time left to

01:36:36.420 your own devices, uh, can be appealing for a time, but you know what? Almost everybody eventually

01:36:42.380 gets mature enough to figure out that that is not the optimal way, uh, to live. Eventually people

01:36:47.200 wind up trying to find something that's a little bit deeper, uh, than I get to do what I want for

01:36:52.360 me all the time. And that's apparently where she is. And it apparently doesn't want to leave.

01:36:57.420 So well put. She doesn't, there isn't, is not a gender issue with the second child. It's the first

01:37:03.140 child who's a boy claiming to be a girl. And Charlize is on record as saying, I thought I adopted a boy,

01:37:09.020 but he looked at me at age three and said, I'm a girl. And I was like, okay, you're a girl.

01:37:14.120 As if a three-year-old has any understanding truly of what gender is and can make that kind of a

01:37:22.400 decision. I mean, it's just such a sad situation. I mean, for those children, for the one child in

01:37:28.180 particular, I feel sad for them. I feel sad that she doesn't feel the need to bring a father figure,

01:37:33.040 obviously into their life, not, not a full-time one. And she's super thrilled to be not having that

01:37:39.280 and sees men as a burden and not as additive. And again, back to my theory, I think there's a

01:37:45.300 reason for that, but I just think she's not who I thought she was. Not, not at all.

01:37:51.180 And it's just on, on the, on the front of, you know, this is just a societal thing. You know,

01:37:57.140 we keep hearing that this is a very natural thing that people want, the boys want to be girls and

01:38:01.140 girls want to be boys. And actually they really are. They're put in their quote unquote wrong bodies.

01:38:05.380 Yet it's so interesting how the percentage of those people seem to coalesce around people with

01:38:11.040 that type of attitude as parents. Like that is, it's not a coincidence, right? That's not a

01:38:16.220 coincidence that liberal areas have much higher percentages of children who find themselves in

01:38:22.680 this situation. And of course, have it encouraged and have it pushed, you know, either on them or just,

01:38:29.080 you know, propped along the entire way. Uh, you know, the, the word social contagion and the term

01:38:34.980 social contagion is used often to describe this. And it's just hard to deny. Honestly, it's, it's not

01:38:40.660 a coincidence that the children that wind up in this situation tend to be around parents who believe

01:38:45.580 this way. Yeah. She was standing up for the drag Queens, uh, not long ago. She doesn't want any man in

01:38:52.840 her life. She's allegedly has a trans child, which is not a thing that children are not trans and

01:38:58.320 they're not born in the wrong bodies. And now she wants us to know all about her orgasms. And now

01:39:02.620 she effed this person, this 26 year old the other day. I mean, okay, uh, whatever people can make

01:39:08.800 their own minds up. This is not how I would like to see our biggest stars behave. I have to say

01:39:14.160 she's on the opposite side of the aisle than we are, uh, politically still, but you never see Julia

01:39:21.960 Roberts do this kind of thing. You know, she did pop up. She voiced over that ridiculous ad about how

01:39:26.960 you could disobey your husband. That's getting openly political. That's fine. I mean, I don't

01:39:31.260 like, I don't like it, but she doesn't debase herself in order to get attention. She doesn't

01:39:35.360 call the paparazzi to get photos of herself getting a Starbucks. She makes sure her children stay out of

01:39:40.440 the news. I respect that. She's fine. She's on the opposite side of the aisle. She wants it. That's

01:39:44.940 fine. But she doesn't debase herself for attention because she's a true star. She's a very big star.

01:39:51.180 One of our biggest hats off to her for that. Okay. Finally, Stu Bergier, our favorite congressman,

01:39:56.360 Brandon Gill, uh, responded to the eight and a half hour speech by representative Jeffries with

01:40:03.360 thank you for your input, representative Jeffries. Now we are going to pass the big, beautiful bill.

01:40:09.480 So the big, beautiful bill goes past and another victory is about to line up for president Trump.

01:40:15.640 Your, your thoughts on it in the minute we have left for less 20 seconds. He's, he's my representative

01:40:19.980 down here in Texas. Uh, he is, uh, there's something about the way he presents these arguments,

01:40:25.340 very deadpan, but it is just absolutely hilarious. Uh, and, uh, he's, it's a joy to watch. I'd look,

01:40:31.280 there's a lot to, uh, to liken this bill. I, you know, this had to happen. The fact that all,

01:40:36.340 you know, not just rich people, but middle-class people as well, we're about to pay a lot more in

01:40:41.020 taxes if, uh, if this didn't go through. And that's the, that's the main achievement of this

01:40:45.800 bill along with the, and the border enforcement. That's right. It's huge. Those two things.

01:40:49.900 All right. I got to run a lot of positive. Congrats on having Brandon Gill as your representative.

01:40:53.200 And it was a pleasure. Happy independence day still. Thank you. You too, Megan. And all of you

01:40:58.540 too. Happy fourth. Thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.

01:41:15.800 Thank you.
