The Megyn Kelly Show - Media Loves Stormy Daniels, and Previewing ＂Mr. Birchum,＂ with Adam Carolla, Brett Cooper, and Kyle Dunnigan ｜ Ep. 785

00:00:00.600 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:11.700 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, coming to you live today from SiriusXM in Los Angeles, California.

00:00:19.320 Here to see Gavin Newsom for a tough, hard-hitting interview. No, I'm not. No, he would not agree to that. He's not that dumb.

00:00:25.640 I'm in L.A. for the premiere of The Daily Wire's first animated scripted series, Mr. Burcham. 0.94

00:00:32.500 Mr. Burcham is a character created decades ago by a friend of the show, Adam Carolla.

00:00:37.220 He's a woodshop teacher who's having trouble dealing with a world gone woke.

00:00:41.760 He doesn't much like children, or kind of anyone other than his daughter and maybe his wife.

00:00:48.820 And Adam created this character years ago, but no network would touch it for fear of offending the wrong people.

00:00:54.620 It features a star-studded cast, including comedians Roseanne, Kyle Dunnigan.

00:01:00.220 Do you guys remember when he came on the show and he did, like, trans-Trump? You gotta do it. It was amazing. 0.78

00:01:05.560 Jay Moore, remember him? Jerry Maguire. Daily Wire's own Brett Cooper.

00:01:09.760 And my friend Sage Steele, she's also in it.

00:01:12.600 I'm actually making my... Okay, the script says acting debut. That's not true.

00:01:17.320 If I repeat after Nate, who is the guy who walked me through it, debut.

00:01:23.040 As the voice of Mr. Burcham's super hot... No, she's not.

00:01:27.400 ...wife, Wendy.

00:01:29.040 So we all gathered together last night to premiere the very first episode,

00:01:32.520 which you can watch this weekend at Daily Wire Plus.

00:01:36.300 Here's a sneak peek.

00:01:37.200 There are some really great school uniform options to avoid misgendering.

00:01:41.800 Ooh, what about their allergies? Maybe those theys could be lactose intolerant.

00:01:46.800 No, we can't say intolerance. We have a zero-tolerance policy for mentioning intolerance.

00:01:52.160 That's mommy, the wine, the bottle.

00:01:54.720 Don't make this a prison dog.

00:01:56.140 Richard Burcham.

00:01:57.580 Burcham?

00:01:58.240 Burcham.

00:01:58.760 Mr. Burcham.

00:01:59.580 Hey, Burcham.

00:02:20.820 The premiere was so much fun.

00:02:22.180 I have so many stories to share.

00:02:23.640 When Brett Cooper, Kyle Dunnigan, and Roseanne joined me in just a bit,

00:02:27.420 but we begin today with the man who started it all, my TV husband, Adam Carolla.

00:02:33.060 Hi, how are you?

00:02:36.680 Good.

00:02:37.260 How are you feeling?

00:02:38.260 You know, a little hungover.

00:02:40.460 It was an early, early, late night and early morning.

00:02:44.520 That's right.

00:02:45.100 But I made it with the moments to spare, and I drove through to get here from where my house is.

00:02:51.720 I had to go right through one homeless encampment to another homeless encampment.

00:02:57.460 I went from the Glendale homeless encampment to the Hollywood homeless encampment,

00:03:03.320 and there's so much garbage everywhere.

00:03:06.620 What's happening? 0.84

00:03:07.420 I saw just last night at the premiere, which was in Hollywood,

00:03:10.960 you basically had to step through tents to make it into the building.

00:03:15.260 Yeah, I will.

00:03:18.160 Let me give your listeners, fans, a very true and real world example of what L.A. is,

00:03:27.880 if they kind of want to know what it is in a nutshell.

00:03:31.140 They're very tough on taxpayers and very easy on criminals or homeless people or whatever.

00:03:37.780 For some, they have rules.

00:03:39.500 And if you're in the class that they have regulations and rules for, you have lots of

00:03:45.460 rules and regulations.

00:03:46.820 So meaning, I had a friend who opened a restaurant several blocks from here.

00:03:52.100 And I said, how's it going?

00:03:54.000 And they said, well, the restaurant's not really ready, but we can't really do the takeout

00:03:58.200 sandwich part either.

00:04:00.220 And I said, why not?

00:04:01.620 And he said, we don't have one of those blowers.

00:04:04.040 It hasn't come in yet.

00:04:05.080 That when you open the window to hand them the sandwiches, the air flows the opposite

00:04:10.280 way.

00:04:10.680 So flies don't come in or whatever.

00:04:12.720 I said, you can't just open your window and give someone a sandwich.

00:04:15.720 No, they won't let us open until we get our blower in from Canada or whatever.

00:04:20.600 And it's delayed.

00:04:21.680 I said, up and down the same street you're on, there's people shopping carts with propane

00:04:27.000 tanks, cooking hot dogs and selling to everyone.

00:04:30.280 We know mayonnaise tub that came from Silmar in the back of a van.

00:04:33.760 There's people just serving food on the street everywhere.

00:04:36.940 It's like, yeah, they don't care about that.

00:04:38.560 They care about us because we have a license and a liquor license and pay taxes and what

00:04:44.060 have you.

00:04:45.080 I called the Malibu Anna Walt Lumber, a lumber store, because like Mr.

00:04:53.780 Burcham carpenter, and I was building a project and I called the Anna Walt Lumber in Malibu.

00:05:00.660 And I said, you got three quarters CDX Goodwin side plywood.

00:05:03.840 And they said, yeah, we got it.

00:05:04.880 And I said, you have pressure treated two by fours.

00:05:06.760 And they said, yeah, we got pressure treated two by fours, which is just two by fours that

00:05:11.080 are meant to go against masonry.

00:05:13.660 And I said, they said, we can cut the plywood if you want, but we can't cut the pressure treated

00:05:23.120 two by fours because it's an OSHA regulation, meaning the two by fours have something in

00:05:29.540 them.

00:05:30.500 I guarantee you can cut a pressure treated two by four at an Anna Walt Lumber in any state

00:05:35.600 in the union, except for California.

00:05:37.960 They won't limit.

00:05:38.380 And by the way, when you buy your two by fours, you just go home and cut them, but they can't

00:05:44.240 cut them in Malibu at Anna Walt Lumber.

00:05:47.440 But there's throngs of homeless people flopped out everywhere.

00:05:52.320 And if you drive down PCH a mile away from Anna Walt Lumber, there's going to be beat up

00:05:58.680 Winnebago's just parked on the side of the street.

00:06:01.380 People dealing meth and, you know, living out of those things.

00:06:05.380 So it's like infinite regulation for people who follow rules, like literally telling a

00:06:12.620 business who's a lumber yard, you can't cut some of the wood that you sell because OSHA

00:06:19.160 will not allow it, but you can flop anywhere, sleep anywhere and throw as much garbage on

00:06:24.880 the street as you want.

00:06:25.720 Well, yeah, I'm last night I was like, are we in a bad area of town?

00:06:28.980 And they're like, no, you're just in Hollywood.

00:06:30.300 Right.

00:06:31.400 What you were saying reminded me of, we took a trip recently as a family and in my toiletry

00:06:36.420 bag, which we were carrying on, I had a pair of scissors, you know, they're kind of like,

00:06:39.980 whatever, they're kind of long, not a full sheer, but pretty close to a full sheer.

00:06:44.280 And fine, I went right through.

00:06:46.740 My daughter had a like six ounce bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo. 1.00

00:06:53.160 She got, they confiscated it, they patted her.

00:06:55.880 It's like, you can see this is a 12 year old girl with a, and it was not opened yet.

00:07:01.000 So the seal was still on it.

00:07:02.840 Just what Al Qaeda would do. 0.96

00:07:05.740 They'd glue that seal back on after putting the colored nitroglycerin in the bottle.

00:07:12.000 You know, their advertisement for Johnson's baby shampoo was no more tears, but that day

00:07:17.780 it was a different story.

00:07:18.940 There were tears.

00:07:19.380 It makes no sense.

00:07:20.720 It's so aggravating.

00:07:21.640 This is just the kind of thing that Mr. Bertram would be railing about.

00:07:24.900 Yes.

00:07:25.440 Thank you for bringing it back to Mr. Bertram.

00:07:27.760 All right.

00:07:28.000 So I tell you last night, I thought it was very cool.

00:07:30.080 I've, I've never been to one of those things before, like a premiere of a show.

00:07:34.120 And, um, I love that you had a wooden carpet because Mr. Bertram is a shopkeeper instead

00:07:38.600 of a red carpet.

00:07:40.060 And I think it's where-

00:07:41.420 Shop teachers.

00:07:42.300 I think you said shopkeeper, which makes me an old time guy who sells candles.

00:07:46.600 Shop teacher.

00:07:48.480 I think it's fair to say that when we went on stage after the premiere of the first

00:07:52.800 episode, Roseanne stole the show. 1.00

00:07:55.500 Yeah.

00:07:56.000 Do you agree with me?

00:07:56.920 I do.

00:07:57.760 She was so funny.

00:08:00.220 She's do, she was doing this thing where she was laughing loud in her Roseanne laugh at 0.99

00:08:04.240 the whole show, everybody's parts.

00:08:06.920 And then when she got up there, she talked a bit about what it meant to her to come back.

00:08:12.760 This is her first animated series since the cancellation, first TV series, really, since

00:08:18.080 the cancellation of her show.

00:08:20.360 Were you surprised at, you know, how it still weighs on her?

00:08:24.640 You know, I'll tell you one thing I've, I've really learned from celebrities is you think

00:08:31.660 maybe they're wired different than other folk and maybe they don't see things or hang on

00:08:40.780 to things or, or, or they have so much money that it really doesn't things sort of roll

00:08:46.580 off of them because they land in this beautiful house with beautiful accoutrements and drive

00:08:53.960 beautiful cars.

00:08:54.760 Most celebrities I know hang on to stuff and have sort of just as much sort of rage, jealousy,

00:09:02.360 animosity as anybody I've ever worked with on a construction site that, and more like

00:09:08.220 they, you know, it's really weird.

00:09:10.220 Like if you talk to Sylvester Stallone, you're not going to talk about all the victories.

00:09:17.000 You're going to talk about some movie that was supposed to, you know, he'll, yeah, you'll

00:09:22.780 break, you'll talk about Cobra or Driven or something like one of his movies that didn't

00:09:26.840 work that well.

00:09:27.680 And then he'll go into this thing about, we had a good script and the executive screwed

00:09:32.340 it up and they gave us this crappy director.

00:09:34.780 And I was like, okay, let's just talk about Rocky.

00:09:37.120 Yeah.

00:09:37.400 Right.

00:09:37.560 You know what I mean?

00:09:38.520 None of us is harboring that for you.

00:09:40.140 Right now they it's, but I think there is something in the achievers.

00:09:47.000 Were they, every pro athlete I've ever, any big time pro successful athlete I've ever

00:09:55.280 interviewed can tell you when they screwed up in the game in high school or when they

00:10:01.520 screwed up in the game in college, like it's baked into their mind.

00:10:04.420 It's, it's, it's not the victories.

00:10:06.700 They, they remember the losses and they, they're really hard on themselves and they really dwell

00:10:12.260 on it.

00:10:13.080 I mean, Roseanne's not hard on herself, but they're angry about the losses.

00:10:17.400 Yeah.

00:10:18.020 The woman who made a million dollars an episode when she was the queen of sitcoms and, you 0.81

00:10:24.200 know, 1991 dwells on the loss.

00:10:27.820 Where it's, I look at her, I'm like, she's Roseanne.

00:10:30.600 You know, she's one of those people who, you know, by a first name, she's so gifted.

00:10:34.440 She got completely ramroded by her fellow castmates by, uh, ABC, by the executives and

00:10:41.200 so on.

00:10:41.560 And I think that she must be past that, right?

00:10:43.820 She's got to be past all that.

00:10:45.060 It's still burns her.

00:10:46.600 And she's still really, and you know, you think back to how they took that show away from

00:10:49.760 her when it was, she, she had brought it back and they were number one again.

00:10:53.400 And anyway, so good for you.

00:10:54.940 It's the castmates. 0.99

00:10:55.260 It's the cowardly castmates that drive me nuts in this equation. 1.00

00:10:58.180 Sarah Gilbert was the worst. 1.00

00:10:59.400 She's the worst. 1.00

00:11:00.160 The worst. 1.00

00:11:00.920 She's the worst.

00:11:01.620 But Hollywood, are they friends?

00:11:03.000 I mean, like we've been out here for a long time.

00:11:05.320 Are they actually like capable of being good friends? 1.00

00:11:07.720 Sarah Gilbert is an angry bitch. 1.00

00:11:10.180 I hate her. 1.00

00:11:11.300 I did, I did her show the blab or the talk or the yak or whatever the hell they call it, 0.99

00:11:16.260 you know?

00:11:16.640 And I don't know.

00:11:17.300 She gave me some sort of 10 minute dissertation on what lesbians were or something. 1.00

00:11:22.260 I was like, oh, shut up, you shrew. 1.00

00:11:24.460 Okay. 1.00

00:11:25.360 Speaking of sex lives, um, let's talk a little Stormy Daniels because, yeah, you, I don't

00:11:30.520 know if whether Mr. Burcham watches the news, but, um, I think you'd have some strong opinions

00:11:34.160 on the woman who took the stand yesterday in the Trump trial.

00:11:37.020 Oh, man.

00:11:37.960 Adam, she got up there and I'm not going to, I'm not going to tell you about her walk into

00:11:42.260 the courtroom and her taking of the stand.

00:11:44.100 I'm going to let, uh, our mutual friend, Lawrence O'Donnell, not true, uh, tell us both

00:11:50.380 about his impressions of her walking into that courtroom.

00:11:52.860 Watch this.

00:11:53.220 The excitement and anticipation in the room hit a new high at 10 32 a.m.

00:12:04.140 She entered wearing all black as if on her way to a funeral. 0.99

00:12:07.880 Oh, my God.

00:12:08.820 The loose fitting plain black clothing draping from her shoulders to her toes suggested the

00:12:14.600 modesty of a nun. 0.99

00:12:16.000 The makeup was minimal, the way she and the other moms in her neighborhood might look when 0.98

00:12:23.040 shopping at the local grocery store.

00:12:25.180 The long blonde hair held up with a clip at the back of her head, the way it might be in 0.95

00:12:31.560 a utilitarian way while she was doing dishes or checking one of the horseshoes on her horse.

00:12:38.020 She was alone in the room with him that first time.

00:12:41.060 This time there were over a hundred people in the room, all watching her, except him.

00:12:50.580 Oh, my God.

00:12:51.500 The drama.

00:12:52.580 He's I don't I you know what I want to say to all these adults who are in the news industry.

00:13:00.400 What did you go to journalism school for?

00:13:03.220 This is a Mexican soap opera. 1.00

00:13:05.580 You're not a journalist, you idiot. 1.00

00:13:09.160 Why did you do what compelled you? 1.00

00:13:12.060 You know what I mean?

00:13:12.520 Yeah.

00:13:12.720 Was it to bust the lid off of stories like this?

00:13:15.260 Is it to just use nothing but hyperbole to essentially try to turn a zero burger into

00:13:22.180 a double king cheese?

00:13:23.880 You know what?

00:13:24.700 What are you doing?

00:13:25.960 Like, where's your dignity?

00:13:27.020 I feel this way about almost everybody in media these days.

00:13:31.780 Why are you here?

00:13:32.920 What are you doing?

00:13:33.660 What compelled you to get into this business?

00:13:36.360 What motivated you to get into this?

00:13:38.380 What would your dad say who paid for you to go to college and then journalism school to

00:13:43.840 see this sad sack on display?

00:13:46.420 No, it's so true.

00:13:47.440 They but they can't help themselves.

00:13:49.140 This is their Super Bowl, their Oscars in all of it wrapped into the World Series wrapped

00:13:54.500 into one.

00:13:55.060 And this plus when Michael Cohen takes the stand, this is the apex of their event.

00:13:59.780 They wanted to hear her talk about Trump and how brief the sexual interlude was because 0.67

00:14:08.060 they want to see him humiliated. 0.95

00:14:11.100 This is it. 0.86

00:14:11.940 Of course.

00:14:12.680 Of course it's it. 0.95

00:14:13.880 Michael Cohen is a spastic nut job. 1.00

00:14:17.580 Yes.

00:14:17.880 Who I interviewed on my podcast once and in the almost 4,000 podcast episodes I've done,

00:14:28.680 it was the only time I said to a guest, I am going to hang up if you do not reel it in.

00:14:35.080 Like if you cannot maintain yourself, I'm going to hang up. 0.94

00:14:39.560 And I have a long fuse for nutty people.

00:14:45.120 I, you know, I think the record will reflect.

00:14:47.340 The record will reflect.

00:14:48.720 I started off with my family, went into my friends, went into, you know, teaching boxing,

00:14:54.380 working on a construction site, doing love line.

00:14:56.440 I've known a lot of nut jobs and have given a lot of leeway.

00:15:00.240 Michael Cohen was literally the only person I've ever said, if you don't reel it in, because 0.99

00:15:05.960 he was so agitated and kind of unprofessional and stupid, I said, I am going to hang up 0.99

00:15:12.180 on you. 1.00

00:15:12.720 Wow.

00:15:13.040 It was a January 6th thing where I said, I think it was a riot, but I don't think it

00:15:19.640 was an insurrection.

00:15:20.780 And he started going insane.

00:15:22.860 Yeah.

00:15:23.000 He needs it to be an insurrection.

00:15:24.420 He needed it to be an insurrection.

00:15:25.760 Yeah.

00:15:26.040 Right.

00:15:26.240 And, and the thing about Stormy, we're going to get this to this in more detail with a full

00:15:30.940 legal panel in a show we're going to release later today.

00:15:33.420 But I have to say the thing about Stormy is what shocked me the most, she completely

00:15:38.000 revised her account of the interlude.

00:15:40.700 It, it went from this casual description, uh, back in, you know, when she first came

00:15:45.920 out with this publicly of, well, you know, he was interesting and he was nice and, you

00:15:51.220 know, I was, it was fine.

00:15:52.720 You know, he was a nice guy to, I, I, I blacked out this, her new testimony is the blood left

00:16:01.280 my fingers and toes.

00:16:03.140 I, I, the room was spinning and he was stopping me from getting out because he was sitting

00:16:09.020 on the bed between me exiting the bathroom and the door, but in a non-threatening manner.

00:16:13.220 Oh, and by the way, I didn't say no, but you know, I didn't know how I got here.

00:16:17.600 What choices had I made? 0.96

00:16:19.100 It's a bullshit me too revisionism and everyone's buying it. 0.98

00:16:23.420 Go through this with the Supreme court justice nomination and Blasey Ford or whatever that 0.99

00:16:29.520 nut job's name was.

00:16:30.960 Did we just go through this? 0.92

00:16:32.760 I was raped in high school at a party at a house.

00:16:36.240 I don't recall with people I've never met. 0.91

00:16:39.280 Oh my God, you're a hero.

00:16:41.100 Are you okay?

00:16:42.540 Doctor.

00:16:43.980 Yeah. 0.99

00:16:44.640 By the way, can we knock this doctor crap off? 0.99

00:16:47.120 Oh, you gotta be a physician. 1.00

00:16:48.600 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:16:49.260 Sorry, Jill Biden.

00:16:50.880 Here's the, here's the definition.

00:16:52.560 Where's my camera?

00:16:53.960 Is that it?

00:16:54.760 Yeah, that's that.

00:16:55.900 Yeah, that's your camera right there.

00:16:57.120 All right.

00:16:57.420 I'm talking to my camera.

00:16:59.460 Here's the deal with doctor.

00:17:01.500 Uh, no more doctors for people who aren't actual physicians.

00:17:08.060 Now, Dr.

00:17:09.160 Drew is a good friend of mine.

00:17:10.200 It bothers him that everyone is a doctor now.

00:17:13.620 He's an actual MD.

00:17:14.840 So you want to know what the definition is?

00:17:16.340 If you're on an airplane and somebody has a heart attack and the stewardess gets on the

00:17:23.080 blower and says, is there a doctor on this flight? 1.00

00:17:26.000 Jill Biden's going to keep her ass planted in her seat, right? 1.00

00:17:29.360 Or what's she going to do? 1.00

00:17:30.600 Read him a children's book. 0.99

00:17:32.620 I don't know what she does, but the point is, is she's useless. 0.98

00:17:35.900 That's the whole point. 0.94

00:17:36.700 So if somebody says, is there a doctor on a flight and you stand up, you're a doctor.

00:17:42.080 Other than that, I do not want you to call doctor.

00:17:44.920 Preach.

00:17:45.320 It's got to be on a flight.

00:17:46.800 You've got to be able to save someone on a flight.

00:17:48.460 You're right in my sweet spot here because this, the need, the insistence by the White 1.00

00:17:52.640 House to call her Dr. Jill Biden at every appearance.

00:17:55.400 I know, but it's all just part and parcel of the whole sort of ruse, right?

00:17:59.000 It shows you what a small person she is.

00:18:00.680 I completely agree.

00:18:02.380 Who would need that?

00:18:03.920 I mean, I'm a jurist doctor.

00:18:05.300 You should, you should be calling me doctor right now.

00:18:07.060 Oh, I should.

00:18:07.460 Yeah.

00:18:07.700 I should have been Dr.

00:18:08.640 Dr. Wendy Burcham if you really wanted to pay me the respect I deserve.

00:18:12.100 You're right.

00:18:12.860 We'll, we'll work that in in post.

00:18:14.760 Now, listen, back to Burcham.

00:18:17.160 So you talked last night a bit about who inspired these characters.

00:18:20.460 And I thought that was really interesting.

00:18:21.440 These are actually the guy who was the super woke DEI instructor.

00:18:27.040 He's based on like, I don't know if he's based on everybody, but everybody in the,

00:18:30.960 in the show is based on like a real principal you dealt with or a gym coach you

00:18:35.220 had.

00:18:35.780 So how did you come up with, I'll start with Carponzi because that's a super woke

00:18:39.540 guy who I freaking love that he steals the show.

00:18:43.280 I agree.

00:18:45.380 Carponzi, the DEI officer.

00:18:49.640 And I think we have an acronym for him that works out to be Jedi, but I can't.

00:18:54.420 And I have to work.

00:18:55.380 Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

00:18:58.260 There you go.

00:18:58.960 Yeah.

00:18:59.060 See, you know more about the script than I paid attention. 1.00

00:19:02.040 The, the, his character is just really a compilation of all the idiots who've been 1.00

00:19:09.920 trying to force this stuff down our throat for the last 10 years. 0.99

00:19:12.920 So his character sort of represents society at large, you know, his character represents

00:19:20.360 everybody who was wrong about COVID, everyone who was wrong about anything that comes down

00:19:26.480 the pike January 6th or whatever, whatever the, the cause du jour, Hunter Biden laptop, 0.79

00:19:33.340 race, gender, everything.

00:19:34.340 Actually, hold on.

00:19:34.780 Hold that thought.

00:19:35.560 Cause we actually have a clip of him.

00:19:36.600 Let's watch.

00:19:36.820 My name is Mr. Carponzi.

00:19:41.240 My pronouns are he, him, and Z.

00:19:44.200 I'm a heteronormative, cisgendered white male for which I apologize.

00:19:50.440 What?

00:19:52.820 So Carponzi represents society or at least the society that Burcham would like to push back

00:20:00.520 against.

00:20:00.900 Yeah.

00:20:01.140 And you and I.

00:20:01.660 Burcham is based on all the shop teachers I had in junior high who were these tough,

00:20:11.380 scary, big forearm guys who hated kids and were mean as hell, but like the idea of getting

00:20:18.600 paid to be indoors around equipment and work in a wood shop.

00:20:23.200 But the problem is, is they sort of thought their shop was like their own shop and the kids

00:20:28.700 were kind of a nuisance that who were coming in and wanting to use their bandsaw and their

00:20:33.780 tables on their lathe.

00:20:35.340 And that's the way it felt to me in junior high.

00:20:38.720 And I also learned that shop teachers don't have to have teaching credentials.

00:20:44.520 They need to have like 10 years in the trades and then they can teach.

00:20:49.520 So these are guys who didn't go to college, never wanted to work with kids, didn't want

00:20:54.660 to mold society or help shape you.

00:20:58.140 They're just carpenters and metalworking guys who are out of a job essentially and end up

00:21:05.280 falling into shop teachers.

00:21:07.580 So they had no bedside etiquette and they didn't like kids.

00:21:12.300 And none of the shop teachers at Walter Reed junior high in North Hollywood, when I went

00:21:17.140 there, seemed to like the kids.

00:21:19.300 So I always had it in my head that it was a funny archetype that here were these guys

00:21:25.860 going to school every day to work with kids, but they hated kids.

00:21:30.280 They can't stand them.

00:21:31.180 I will say that the timing for this is perfect.

00:21:34.120 And by the way, again, if you're just listening now, you can sign up for it over at Daily Wire

00:21:37.260 Plus and use the code Megan25.

00:21:39.640 You get a discount, big discount on membership there.

00:21:42.220 You can watch Mr.

00:21:42.920 Burcham and you can watch the first, I think, and second episode for free this weekend.

00:21:46.540 Um, but we need a guy like Burcham more than ever.

00:21:50.380 We could use more Mr.

00:21:51.960 Burchams in our K through 12 and certainly college education right now, because we, of

00:21:56.320 course, are producing a bunch of like soft, I wanted to run this clip for you.

00:22:02.520 It's not really on our agenda to talk about the protests on campus today, but I do want

00:22:07.520 to show you this.

00:22:08.520 Where was she from?

00:22:09.200 You guys, she's Columbia, right?

00:22:10.440 The one that we circulated this morning.

00:22:12.480 Um, I'm going to Princeton, Princeton, right?

00:22:14.700 Because they're having the hunger strike there.

00:22:16.080 Oh, I love a hunger strike.

00:22:18.860 You and I might call it a night of sleep.

00:22:20.580 They call it a hunger strike.

00:22:22.660 Yeah.

00:22:23.020 And apparently it's not going very well.

00:22:24.740 Take a listen.

00:22:28.040 This is absolutely unfair.

00:22:33.160 My peers and I, we are starving.

00:22:36.280 We are physically exhausted.

00:22:38.460 I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see.

00:22:41.220 We are both cold and hot at the same time.

00:22:44.660 We are all immunocompromised.

00:22:47.480 Wow.

00:22:47.940 And based on the university's meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team, they would

00:22:52.840 love to continue physically weakening us because they can't stand to say no to unjust murder.

00:22:59.120 Yay! 0.99

00:22:59.320 Okay, you get it.

00:23:01.680 I do appreciate the daisy chaining of the bullhorns.

00:23:05.420 Yeah.

00:23:05.920 I like that.

00:23:06.700 They made it so she could still be on cam.

00:23:08.400 Some ingenuity the way they daisy chained the bullhorns.

00:23:11.580 Why did she have to read the statement about how we are both hot and cold at the same time?

00:23:16.380 I am shaking right now.

00:23:18.380 I don't know, because I see it all the time.

00:23:21.440 Like, everyone puts everything in their phone.

00:23:23.820 All young people put everything in their phone now, and they'll do a toast at a wedding, and 1.00

00:23:28.760 there'll be some 26-year-old chick going, I was a maid of honor, and I just want to thank

00:23:35.040 Tim and Sylvia.

00:23:38.420 May they go on forever.

00:23:40.180 It's like, I should just at some point commit things to memory.

00:23:43.500 Or just extemporaneously speak.

00:23:45.360 It's a good skill to develop.

00:23:46.960 Am I looking at my phone?

00:23:48.720 Right.

00:23:49.180 We're 23 minutes into this.

00:23:51.700 Pow! 0.91

00:23:52.380 Zing! 1.00

00:23:53.060 Snap! 0.99

00:23:53.880 You did your whole bit on doctor without looking at a thing.

00:23:57.220 Yeah, I know.

00:23:58.000 But hold on.

00:23:58.740 Roll prompter.

00:23:59.560 I want to get through that.

00:24:00.520 All right, here.

00:24:01.040 So, back to Bertram, because I'm just showing that Bertram has real-life applications.

00:24:04.760 Oh, can I tell you this?

00:24:05.500 A sad state of affairs.

00:24:06.960 What?

00:24:07.620 Speaking of we need Bertrams more than ever.

00:24:10.180 In these schools.

00:24:11.700 I'm driving my 17-year-old daughter and her 17-year-old friend over to the premiere last

00:24:17.060 night.

00:24:18.240 And they're both going to graduate high school seniors.

00:24:23.300 And I said, do you know anything about Bertram or what, you know, kids?

00:24:29.540 They don't know anything about-

00:24:30.560 A character you developed 30 years ago.

00:24:31.700 They don't know anything about Bertram, but they don't know anything about anything about

00:24:34.660 me.

00:24:35.020 I mean, professionally.

00:24:36.740 You know, they pay him, you know, we get a swimming pool.

00:24:40.540 You know, that's kind of how they work it out.

00:24:42.440 But I said, well, let me tell you about Bertram, like how it works.

00:24:46.380 Just so when you go watch the premiere, you'll have some context of where this guy comes from.

00:24:51.520 I said, you know, you guys have shop class, right?

00:24:55.060 And I said, huh?

00:24:56.360 I said, you know, shop, you know, wood shop, metal shop, auto shop.

00:25:00.800 They're like, no.

00:25:02.280 And I'm like, but shop, you know what shop is, right?

00:25:05.100 No.

00:25:06.260 I said, okay, wait a minute.

00:25:07.820 You didn't take shop class, but they had, they got metal shop.

00:25:12.020 They got wood shop.

00:25:12.840 They got auto, you know, someone who takes auto shop, right?

00:25:15.360 Now, I said, well, what do you mean?

00:25:18.740 Like your whole, both your high schools, they go to two different high schools.

00:25:22.440 There's nothing, no auto shop.

00:25:24.620 Nope.

00:25:25.320 Never heard of it.

00:25:26.520 I said, well, what?

00:25:28.060 Well, we have electives, you know, we could take cooking or something.

00:25:31.760 Like that or whatever.

00:25:34.960 No shop.

00:25:35.760 It is not offered.

00:25:37.460 That's too bad anymore.

00:25:38.700 I, I, I feel the same way.

00:25:40.800 It is offered in our school.

00:25:41.640 I have to say, like our, all three of our kids have come home with some, my son made a chair.

00:25:45.740 I think you would have been proud of it.

00:25:46.920 Little table, actually a little table, like legit.

00:25:48.560 You can fold it up, whatever.

00:25:50.000 Back in my day too.

00:25:50.940 I took it.

00:25:51.720 I made a little mirror.

00:25:52.880 Um, didn't lose.

00:25:54.500 It's a bigger problem than people understand.

00:25:57.720 The lack of sort of shop and working with tools and understanding.

00:26:02.780 When you work with tools, each one represents a potential danger.

00:26:09.640 So, um, routers are different than circular saws.

00:26:15.500 And circular saws are different than drills and drills are different than bayonet saws,

00:26:19.760 you know?

00:26:20.300 And when you handle a lot of tools, even just jacking a car up in getting underneath the

00:26:27.140 car, it's 5,000 pounds.

00:26:28.880 It will kill you if you don't do it properly.

00:26:31.820 Oh, listen to Dateline.

00:26:32.400 I mean, some have used it against others.

00:26:33.900 Yes, but you must jack up the car because you must get under it and fix the car.

00:26:40.060 So you don't have an, uh, an alternative, but you have to do it correctly, but also time

00:26:45.840 is of the essence.

00:26:46.640 So each tool sort of represents, should you wear goggles?

00:26:50.640 Do I need ear protection?

00:26:52.180 Does this thing torque this way or kick back that way?

00:26:55.220 I mean, tools are super specific.

00:26:57.500 Like if you take a table saw, if you take a piece of wood and you put it between two

00:27:05.660 saw horses and you think you're going to cut it down the middle, it'll bind and pinch as

00:27:11.020 it goes down and kick, kick back. 0.60

00:27:13.900 If you wanted to cut it, you'd let the end hang over, but you wouldn't put it in between. 0.60

00:27:19.280 It'll go down and immediately bind and kick back.

00:27:21.900 The point is, is when you learn these things and you have a relationship with danger.

00:27:27.500 It's not, I'll never do it.

00:27:29.440 It's here's how it works.

00:27:30.840 And then that will, that will carry over into things like COVID, but we didn't have a relationship.

00:27:36.560 We had people wearing masks alone in a car because they don't have the relationship with

00:27:43.020 risk.

00:27:44.160 Yeah.

00:27:44.700 When Mike Rowe came on, he made a similar point.

00:27:46.900 He was talking about how now we're at the point where if you're at a don't walk sign

00:27:51.680 and you look left and you look right, and there are no cars for miles.

00:27:56.180 Half the populace will sit there and stand.

00:28:00.280 They will wait for the walk sign.

00:28:02.980 I'll do Mike Rowe one better.

00:28:04.680 I do that with red lights and I do that with red turn arrows and I do it with everything.

00:28:09.680 If I'm there and there's no one around, I'm gone.

00:28:12.900 I see your point. 0.99

00:28:13.880 If you're not a moron and you actually have decent eyes, it's fine. 0.99

00:28:17.140 Why am I sitting here? 0.99

00:28:18.120 There is no one here I can see just as well, better than the camera above me can see.

00:28:23.120 I'm safe.

00:28:24.020 I 1,000% do it all day.

00:28:26.200 Anyway, this is one of the many efforts by Adam Carolla to fight back against this nonsense

00:28:30.600 and try to toughen people up.

00:28:32.920 Mr. Burcham, thank you for including me in it.

00:28:35.780 Oh, listen, it's been a thrill.

00:28:38.520 I mean, you know, I'm a fan and it's always nice to work with people that you like working

00:28:43.540 with.

00:28:43.960 Yeah.

00:28:44.240 Well, here's to season two.

00:28:45.320 Yeah, I agree.

00:28:46.720 You guys, don't forget to check it out.

00:28:48.140 We're not done because Brett Cooper, she's a star over at The Daily Wire.

00:28:52.460 She's 22 years old.

00:28:55.020 I think she's got, I don't know, 7 million YouTube followers.

00:28:58.400 And you'll see why, because she's a very talented, dynamic, funny young woman.

00:29:03.320 She's up next.

00:29:04.160 Don't go away.

00:29:04.640 Joining me now, Brett Cooper.

00:29:08.480 She is the host of the comments section with Brett Cooper for The Daily Wire.

00:29:13.060 She also plays my daughter in the new animated series, Mr. Burcham.

00:29:17.780 Brett, thank you so much for being here.

00:29:19.280 Thank you for having me.

00:29:20.080 Hi, honey.

00:29:20.780 Hi.

00:29:21.860 It's so funny.

00:29:22.540 You actually could be my daughter.

00:29:23.700 It's like, you know you're old when you start to see other grown, accomplished humans and

00:29:27.820 you realize you could be their parent.

00:29:29.300 It's kind of that moment.

00:29:30.520 I'm honored.

00:29:30.920 I'm honored.

00:29:31.260 So Adam and I are your mom and dad.

00:29:33.720 Exactly.

00:29:33.920 It's perfect.

00:29:34.660 And just like, talk to me a little bit about how you got into this, because as I mentioned

00:29:39.540 in the preview to your appearance, you've taken off at The Daily Wire.

00:29:44.640 You've been so successful online.

00:29:46.320 You really do have an effervescent personality.

00:29:48.440 You're very talented.

00:29:49.240 So how did you get like this?

00:29:50.980 I was a child actor for 10 years.

00:29:53.540 Actually, out here in Los Angeles, this is my first time being back since I moved four

00:29:57.500 years ago.

00:29:58.040 So it's very nostalgic.

00:29:59.880 So much has changed, but a lot has not changed at all.

00:30:02.400 I was back in Burbank last night after the premiere.

00:30:04.500 I went to my favorite donut shop my mom and I used to go to.

00:30:06.860 Anyway, so grew up here in front of the camera.

00:30:09.720 I love storytelling more than anything.

00:30:11.760 I love communicating with an audience via this medium, you know, behind the camera.

00:30:16.300 And so I had been working on that for literally 10 years.

00:30:19.220 And then during COVID, took a step back.

00:30:21.960 Obviously, everything in the industry changed.

00:30:24.520 I wasn't working.

00:30:25.420 I was at UCLA doing school online.

00:30:27.560 Lost a lot of my friends due to my political beliefs and my values and kind of found a home

00:30:33.620 making social media videos about current events and culture.

00:30:37.020 And then Daily Wire literally slid into my DMs and said, would you want to start a show

00:30:40.600 with us?

00:30:41.080 Yeah.

00:30:41.620 Okay.

00:30:42.040 I do know that's what happened in that order.

00:30:43.180 That makes sense.

00:30:43.900 Yeah.

00:30:44.160 I want to talk about that because it's very rare to find a 22-year-old who's, you know,

00:30:48.040 living in LA who's more on the right side of things doing open social commentary on

00:30:52.560 it.

00:30:52.840 But first, let's show the audience a little bit of this is the two of us in a clip from

00:30:56.920 Mr. Burcham.

00:30:58.080 Check it out. 1.00

00:31:00.300 Mom, there's clear mahogany under here, except some idiot painted over it with this horrible white 1.00

00:31:04.780 paint. 1.00

00:31:05.080 Honey, I'm that idiot. 1.00

00:31:07.140 White makes rooms look bigger. 1.00

00:31:08.600 White sells.

00:31:09.460 White helps mommy peeve for family vacations and this $800 pantsuit we'll never tell your 1.00

00:31:13.080 father about.

00:31:13.960 But it's a sin.

00:31:15.260 It's a crime against wood. 0.98

00:31:17.160 You're a wood killer. 0.98

00:31:18.960 A wood killer. 1.00

00:31:19.680 You are a wood killer. 0.98

00:31:21.120 Technically, I'd be a wood coverer. 0.98

00:31:23.040 Cover, coverer.

00:31:24.460 Okay.

00:31:25.160 I see why you went with killer.

00:31:26.640 Trust me, honey.

00:31:27.340 This is standard in the biz.

00:31:28.780 That's why we call it egg cell white.

00:31:31.020 Egg cell is the texture, not the color.

00:31:33.900 And how would you like it if somebody covered you in white paint?

00:31:36.600 If it was Jason Momoa, I'd be fine.

00:31:39.160 This is so fun.

00:31:40.580 This is the premise of the show that you are Burcham's daughter and my daughter, too.

00:31:44.260 But like you are more his daughter in terms of your love for wood working and shop things.

00:31:48.880 And then there's a son who's kind of a loaf, played by Kyle Donegan, who's here next, who

00:31:54.100 doesn't quite have your ambition in the woodworking field.

00:31:56.580 Not at all.

00:31:57.140 No.

00:31:57.400 Did you learn anything about tools?

00:31:59.160 No, I have not.

00:31:59.820 Well, I learned a lot of the names, but I have never used any of them.

00:32:04.160 So it was a lot of very, very fake knowledge from pretending that I know a lot about it.

00:32:08.440 And I still want to go do some woodworking with Adam.

00:32:11.040 I told him I was like, I need to go to the woodshop.

00:32:12.660 I need to learn this hands on.

00:32:14.100 If we do another season, like I need to fully be prepped.

00:32:16.640 Oh, wow.

00:32:17.040 Method.

00:32:17.520 Yeah, exactly.

00:32:18.020 Method acting.

00:32:18.700 Okay.

00:32:18.920 That's what I'm going to do.

00:32:19.380 But no, Jeannie is 100% a mini Burcham. 1.00

00:32:21.560 Everything that he does, she wants to follow.

00:32:23.960 She's super outspoken.

00:32:25.040 She's very passionate.

00:32:26.860 Truly just wants to be anything that her father is.

00:32:29.220 She's very cute.

00:32:30.040 And I love the scenes that we have together.

00:32:31.520 Although we're never together in the same room when we shoot this.

00:32:33.820 I know.

00:32:34.040 It's so weird.

00:32:34.700 I did it in my studio in Connecticut.

00:32:37.720 The guys came to me and they kind of tell you what to say.

00:32:40.480 I mean, the people last night was like, how are you enjoying like your acting debut?

00:32:43.680 I'm like, it's not acting.

00:32:44.600 What I did was not acting.

00:32:45.440 What you did is acting because you know what you're doing.

00:32:46.800 I just repeated what Nate said.

00:32:49.380 But we never see each other.

00:32:50.800 And so it was kind of fun to see it all laid in.

00:32:52.640 It's wild.

00:32:53.340 But as you're an actual actress, it must have been weird for you not to.

00:32:56.480 It is.

00:32:56.840 Voiceover is very, very different because when you are acting on film, you create such a

00:33:01.100 bond with your co-stars.

00:33:02.960 And you, like I was in Hungary filming The Pendragon Cycle for Daily Wire as well.

00:33:06.460 And so we had this cast where we lived abroad together for five and a half months.

00:33:11.000 And so you're working together on screen.

00:33:12.660 You're working together off screen.

00:33:14.220 You are, you know, going over the night before to work on a scene that you're shooting the

00:33:17.440 next morning.

00:33:17.860 Like it is very, very integrated and you create this bond.

00:33:20.580 With voiceover, so much of that is segmented.

00:33:23.060 And so you just have to rely on your own chops and what you know the script to be.

00:33:28.120 And it's much harder.

00:33:29.220 And so I really, really admire voiceover actors.

00:33:31.060 I had not done voiceover since I was about 10 years old or so.

00:33:34.540 So it, you know, brought me back in a lot of ways.

00:33:36.740 But I would say it is much more challenging than other forms of acting.

00:33:40.420 Exactly.

00:33:41.020 I mean, it would be fun to be together, but it's weird because the whole series, season

00:33:43.320 one is shot and done and in the bank.

00:33:45.020 And you and I are just meeting now.

00:33:46.340 Yeah.

00:33:46.640 Even though we've had several, several scenes together.

00:33:48.460 Yeah.

00:33:48.780 Not to mention me and Adam.

00:33:50.040 Okay.

00:33:50.500 So back to you and sort of your journey.

00:33:54.500 How did you wind up more conservative to the point where you would say it out loud in

00:33:59.060 L.A.?

00:33:59.740 My mother.

00:34:01.160 My mother is incredible.

00:34:02.500 I was not raised in a political home by any means.

00:34:05.040 We never discussed politics.

00:34:07.000 We never discussed current events.

00:34:08.800 I'm not really interested in hard politics or D.C.

00:34:12.220 That was never part of my upbringing.

00:34:14.020 She is very values-based.

00:34:16.060 And so we had a lot of conversations about what our family values, you know, personal

00:34:19.980 responsibility, independence was huge.

00:34:22.620 And those were the discussions that we had at our dinner tables.

00:34:25.700 And when things would come up in my life, whether it were, it was friends or in scripts

00:34:29.720 that I was reading, I honestly think that that is where the majority of my value education

00:34:34.200 came from is because from age eight years old, I was being given scripts for auditions and

00:34:38.880 projects that I was working on.

00:34:40.580 And we would always discuss what is the meaning of the script?

00:34:43.440 What is the writer trying to convey to audiences?

00:34:46.000 Do you agree with this?

00:34:47.040 What do you think the character is trying to say?

00:34:48.280 And those are things that you need to know as an actor.

00:34:50.720 But my mom wanted to make sure that I never just fully lost myself in these characters.

00:34:54.580 And so she was like, how is that different than what we believe, than what you believe?

00:34:57.960 What is she, what is this character trying to say to the world?

00:35:02.760 And by articulating that and identifying it, I was able to go, oh, that does not make sense.

00:35:06.260 That's not actually something that I want to put out into the world.

00:35:09.180 And I think that was one of the reasons why I really took a step back from acting while

00:35:13.280 I was in college because I felt so conflicted because I would read these scripts and say,

00:35:16.400 I don't want that out in the world.

00:35:17.580 Like, I feel bad playing this character.

00:35:20.120 I would turn down scripts all the time that had nudity, you know, for characters that

00:35:23.980 are like 16 years old.

00:35:25.340 You're not going to the Met Gala anytime soon.

00:35:26.780 No, I am not.

00:35:28.220 But I thought very consciously about all of that.

00:35:31.040 So that was constant conversations in my home.

00:35:34.620 And when COVID started happening, I was faced with a lot of anger and hatred from friends

00:35:40.700 in college that I did not expect.

00:35:42.580 These were friends that were my closest friends, was about to live with in the next year.

00:35:46.360 I was in a sorority and all of that kind of blew up in my face and I realized, oh my gosh,

00:35:50.840 I disagree with all of you.

00:35:52.160 And I knew that and I was okay with it.

00:35:54.400 And we were close friends and I spent hours upon hours and was going to live with you.

00:35:57.740 And suddenly you hate me and are basically threatening me and are throwing, you know,

00:36:01.200 communist manifestos at my head at parties, calling me a racist.

00:36:05.640 Is that true?

00:36:06.140 I mean, were they really getting after you?

00:36:07.720 Yes.

00:36:08.540 I walked into a party at UCLA at one point and simply because I was from Tennessee and because

00:36:13.460 we had had a conversation where we were talking about the primaries in January of 2020.

00:36:17.140 And I said, no, I'm not going to vote in the primaries for Biden.

00:36:19.780 And then they, oh, you know, you're going to vote for Bernie.

00:36:22.100 I was like, no, I'm actually not going to do either of those.

00:36:24.880 Secret option number three.

00:36:26.820 And that next week I walked into a party and one of them stood up on a table and said,

00:36:31.520 there's a racist friend, Brett from Tennessee.

00:36:33.280 No. 0.51

00:36:34.020 Yeah.

00:36:34.260 And I was just, and so everything, and then COVID happened and COVID for me in terms of my

00:36:38.780 education and my social circles and everything else in my life, it was a blessing in disguise.

00:36:43.640 Obviously the way it turned out for the world was awful, but I think that it gave me a lot

00:36:47.400 of distance.

00:36:48.200 It forced me to reflect a lot about the people that I was surrounding myself with, the industry

00:36:51.700 that I was in.

00:36:52.720 It pulled me out of an education, an educational environment that I think was very difficult

00:36:58.480 for me to survive in.

00:36:59.680 You know how the left always uses the word toxic.

00:37:01.400 It's toxic.

00:37:01.880 You know what?

00:37:02.040 They make it toxic for righties. 1.00

00:37:03.360 They do.

00:37:03.580 They do.

00:37:04.180 They do.

00:37:04.680 And so, you know, I moved home.

00:37:06.980 I was doing all of my classes online.

00:37:08.220 I made the most of it.

00:37:09.160 I did, you know, a business program.

00:37:11.360 I studied for the LSAT.

00:37:12.320 I started making these videos for PragerU and Young Americans for Liberty.

00:37:15.340 Like I really, really leaned in.

00:37:16.640 It's like, if I was going to put myself out there because I knew what it felt like to be

00:37:20.880 so alienated, to not see my values represented anywhere in my circles, in my industry, online,

00:37:26.240 on social media, I was like, I have a voice.

00:37:28.300 For your age group, for your age group.

00:37:29.640 That's the thing that's special about you.

00:37:30.920 It's like, if 22-year-olds want to get conservative commentary, they can get it anywhere.

00:37:34.980 But not necessarily from a really smart 22-year-old young woman. 0.90

00:37:39.180 Yeah.

00:37:39.360 I did not see the kind of content that I'm creating now.

00:37:42.420 And that is why I was so passionate about it.

00:37:44.260 I think that's also why it took off so quickly is because I was filling a niche that I personally

00:37:49.220 cared so much about that I knew I wanted to exist in the world.

00:37:52.600 Because coming up as somebody that was more right-wing, that had traditional values, valued

00:37:56.780 common sense, like I would listen to, you know, I would listen to Dennis Prager.

00:38:00.400 I would listen to Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles and Candace.

00:38:03.040 And I would listen to Larry Elder.

00:38:05.200 My mom's obsessed with Larry Elder.

00:38:06.580 He's brilliant.

00:38:07.080 He is, yeah.

00:38:07.540 And so we would listen to him on car rides and Rush Limbaugh, but nobody was my age.

00:38:11.420 And then I would go on to YouTube and social media and I would watch all these people that

00:38:14.600 I love and follow and I want style inspiration from you and I love this actor.

00:38:18.400 But then I would listen to, you know, the Vanity Fair roundtables and go,

00:38:20.880 I disagree with literally everything you're saying, even though you're my age.

00:38:23.680 So I wanted to fill that gap.

00:38:25.340 So what's, I mean, when you look around your age group, what's happening with young women?

00:38:30.000 Because what, I mean, my impression from, you know, way over on the other side is everyone's

00:38:34.420 naked. 0.99

00:38:35.560 Everyone's getting enormous boobs and enormous butts. 1.00

00:38:38.700 They're having all this fat sucked out of their waist to try to make it look like some 0.99

00:38:41.840 sort of a weird, you know, character, anime character.

00:38:44.500 Did you see Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala?

00:38:45.980 There's something seriously wrong with that person.

00:38:47.240 It's crazy.

00:38:47.680 I like, I don't understand what, I really think she might've had ribs removed. 1.00

00:38:51.200 I don't get it.

00:38:52.140 I don't like it.

00:38:52.900 And I don't like what message it projects.

00:38:54.580 I don't like the beauty message that entire family projects.

00:38:57.140 Yes.

00:38:58.180 But you wound up okay because you had good parents.

00:39:00.800 I know my kids are going to wind up okay.

00:39:02.600 They have good parents.

00:39:03.620 So I don't want to blame it all on them.

00:39:05.540 But when you look around your generation, like what do you see women, young women doing

00:39:09.840 and wanting?

00:39:10.960 I think young women are just lying to themselves. 1.00

00:39:12.800 I think we've been lied to by society.

00:39:14.740 We've been lied to by the Kardashian type figures that have given us beauty standards 0.99

00:39:19.860 that are completely unrealistic, that have told us that the ideal is to be plastic, that

00:39:24.200 you need to change everything about yourself to be desirable, not just to men, but to the

00:39:28.040 world, whether that is Botox or lip fillers.

00:39:30.840 Have you seen that young women my age are now getting Botox because it's preventative?

00:39:34.060 22 year old?

00:39:34.760 22 year old, 21 year old, 18 year old.

00:39:36.520 It is a huge, huge thing.

00:39:37.800 It's like, it's preventative.

00:39:38.760 You won't have wrinkles later on in life. 1.00

00:39:39.940 It's like, you are, this is the most ridiculous, ridiculous thing. 0.98

00:39:42.480 Obviously if you want to do it later in life, you know, that's your prerogative, but at 0.99

00:39:44.920 21 years old, it's not necessary.

00:39:47.200 No, it's not.

00:39:47.900 But they have been told that that is their ideal.

00:39:50.520 And I think a lot of the pressure then comes from women because as other women start to 1.00

00:39:54.360 do it, then younger women on social media see it and think that that is what they need 0.98

00:39:57.800 to aspire to.

00:39:58.860 Can I tell you, I just had a quick, I want you to finish, but this is why, you remember

00:40:01.980 when Dolly Parton performed, was it the Super Bowl and she came out and she, it wasn't 0.95

00:40:05.220 the Super Bowl, it was like maybe country music awards.

00:40:07.280 Anyway, she had a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit on and I think she's 77 years old or maybe

00:40:11.060 even older and I found it both inspirational and depressing.

00:40:15.040 Yes.

00:40:15.480 You know what I mean?

00:40:16.380 Like it's great.

00:40:17.720 I love Dolly.

00:40:18.200 Everybody loves Dolly.

00:40:19.120 She looked so great.

00:40:20.180 But then I also kind of missed the days where women were just allowed to age and we didn't 0.99

00:40:23.960 have to try to look 22 when we were 82 and that would be fine.

00:40:27.620 That's that beauty standard did change and you were judged accordingly.

00:40:30.700 You didn't have to be in a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

00:40:33.240 Exactly.

00:40:33.560 Yeah, but I think that a lot of that has pushed women in a wrong and dangerous direction. 1.00

00:40:39.980 I also think that society has been telling them for years that hookup culture is good

00:40:44.160 and you don't need to be married.

00:40:45.260 I mean, I think of like the 2016 Hillary Clinton era feminism and the Sheryl Sandberg lean in

00:40:51.380 and girl bossing like that took off in the mid 2010s and pushed women in this direction 1.00

00:40:55.020 and now 10 years later they're going, I'm not, I'm not happy.

00:40:58.000 I'm single.

00:40:58.920 I'm in my 30s.

00:41:00.080 I have distanced myself from my family.

00:41:02.000 I have given myself over to this corporate career, which is ironic because they sit online

00:41:06.380 and say that they hate the man, they hate the patriarchy, they hate capitalism.

00:41:09.380 And yet the one thing that they dedicate their life to is sitting in a cubicle and being a

00:41:12.960 girl boss for Meta or Google or whatever you want to say.

00:41:16.580 And so I think that women, number one, have been lied to, but then they've made the choice 0.99

00:41:20.700 to lie to themselves and say, no, I'm happy.

00:41:22.780 I'm happy being single.

00:41:24.020 I'm happy hooking up every night and having no commitments.

00:41:26.000 And I think that they're waking up because obviously that is not what we are, you know,

00:41:30.760 wired to do.

00:41:32.460 And, you know, I see it every day.

00:41:34.640 I see, you know, my female audience grow.

00:41:37.320 The most important thing to me is when I meet women, you know, out just when I'm walking 0.99

00:41:40.840 around in the world and they come up to me and they say that they watch the show.

00:41:42.980 It's just the greatest feeling because again, I'm creating that content.

00:41:45.680 It's a great feeling for me to hear that too because we need young women hearing alternative

00:41:48.600 voices like that.

00:41:49.500 There's so many of them that come up to me and it's amazing.

00:41:51.920 The other side is fed to them on a silver platter.

00:41:53.940 They're on every magazine cover.

00:41:55.560 There are stars in all the shows.

00:41:56.840 They're featured in everywhere and everything in left-wing media.

00:42:00.580 And, you know, the right wing, it's like you have to watch it subversively if you are

00:42:04.420 17 or 18, but more and more of them are.

00:42:07.000 They're starting to do it as a backlash to this over, I don't know, it's not an overcorrection.

00:42:11.540 It's just the overpromotion of like Women's History Month and Black History Month and Gay 1.00

00:42:16.060 History Month and Pride Month, all of it.

00:42:18.140 I think subversively they're starting to look for alternative sources of information, even the

00:42:22.920 young people.

00:42:23.540 Yes.

00:42:23.960 So on the subject of men, though, you're married.

00:42:26.540 You got married young.

00:42:27.360 Yes.

00:42:27.820 A month ago.

00:42:28.600 Oh, best wishes.

00:42:29.460 Thank you.

00:42:29.980 Thank you.

00:42:30.520 Yes.

00:42:31.240 So how are kids your age dating?

00:42:34.780 How do you find, because I'm worried, we were talking with Adam about Mr. Carpanzi in

00:42:38.700 Bircham, who's got the man bun and he wears a sign that reads, the future is female. 0.99

00:42:45.800 Yes.

00:42:46.300 And he's a completely emasculated version of a man.

00:42:49.920 I just don't think any woman really would want to sleep with a man like that.

00:42:54.180 I can't understand a woman who would want to sleep with a man. 1.00

00:42:56.120 So, but it seems like that's the trend now.

00:42:58.380 It is.

00:42:58.820 More and more young men are becoming more Carpanzi-esque than they are Bircham-esque.

00:43:02.160 I call them the wet cigarette men, the Timothee Chalamet's. 0.87

00:43:06.680 Oh, yes.

00:43:07.160 Yeah.

00:43:07.380 I don't know why, but it's just like that and Machine Gun Kelly, that style, that genre

00:43:12.780 of man.

00:43:13.540 On my show, I always say you're a wet cigarette man. 0.99

00:43:15.740 You're limp and you're kind of grunge and kind of nasty. 0.99

00:43:18.900 And I don't know if you shower and you're very, very skinny. 0.98

00:43:22.500 It's true, and I always say, but no, the 2024 dating landscape is a hellscape for sure.

00:43:28.400 I feel so awful because I read my comments and I have so many people, both men and women,

00:43:32.840 saying, where do I find like-minded people?

00:43:35.400 And I'm seriously working with my team.

00:43:36.820 I don't know how to make them meet.

00:43:38.380 I don't know if I just need to, I was talking with Jordan about this on his podcast.

00:43:41.120 I was like, I don't know if you need to set up something after your shows, after your

00:43:44.640 lectures where you have them all, like all the cute men in their suits and the girls that

00:43:48.520 come to listen.

00:43:49.120 I don't know what it is, but something because they're out there and they are desperately searching.

00:43:53.040 I just did an episode about Bumble.

00:43:55.020 Bumble just did a huge rebrand.

00:43:56.920 And most people are still trying to meet partners on dating apps.

00:44:01.800 I don't even know what Bumble is.

00:44:02.920 Okay, so Bumble was created in 2014 to empower women.

00:44:06.120 It is the feminist dating app, and women had to make the first move. 1.00

00:44:09.260 And so they did that, so the women were in the driver's seat. 1.00

00:44:11.280 They did not have to get any unsolicited sexual pictures, no cringe comments from men.

00:44:16.960 They were in control.

00:44:17.520 So it's like Tinder and Hinge where you swipe, but the women have to send the first message. 1.00

00:44:21.000 Well, 10 years later, apparently it's a burden.

00:44:23.520 Women don't want to make the first move. 1.00

00:44:24.660 They don't want to do it.

00:44:25.120 That's the whole reason that the app was created, but now they're saying, oh, it's too hard.

00:44:29.660 I don't want to do it.

00:44:30.280 So they created this system where Bumble sends an automatic message from the woman. 0.85

00:44:34.700 So technically it is still from the woman, but Bumble, the app, is sending it.

00:44:38.820 The men have to create the clever, interesting, personalized response.

00:44:43.140 And then the woman on the other side of the screen gets to think, hmm, is that clever enough? 0.99

00:44:46.600 Oh, wow.

00:44:47.140 I mean, it's just, that is like, those are the apps.

00:44:49.560 That's what's going on.

00:44:50.280 They have become a game, and they are designed to keep you on the app.

00:44:52.840 Like, those apps make money by you not meeting somebody and not having a fulfilling relationship.

00:44:57.140 Those two, that whole need like we saw behind the social network, that's behind the dating apps, too?

00:45:01.220 Yes, for sure.

00:45:02.220 Oh, my Lord.

00:45:02.660 And I remember, like, I think that there is a way that you can use them well.

00:45:05.740 I was actually on Dennis Prager's show, gosh, like four years ago.

00:45:08.580 We were talking about homeschooling.

00:45:09.740 This was at the very beginning when I was starting to do this kind of work.

00:45:13.080 And we were talking about dating, and I wasn't dating anybody at the time.

00:45:16.620 And he had said, I think that you should be on dating apps because you live in California.

00:45:19.400 And he said, if you use them correctly, and you put all your values out there, and you say, I am a Christian, I am conservative.

00:45:25.180 He's like, even if you're not fully conservative, just say that you are on the right.

00:45:27.980 Put them all out there, because then you'll weed out all of the terrible people.

00:45:31.460 Yeah, so it's good, good screening if you're willing to put yourself out there.

00:45:35.360 But even then, you get so many bots and so many people that are playing around.

00:45:38.720 It's just a mess.

00:45:39.380 So it really is a hellscape.

00:45:42.120 It's very difficult for people to meet, and my heart goes out to people.

00:45:46.460 But I do hope that by consuming content, you know, like mine and like yours and other young people like Isabel Brown and Amalek Anobi.

00:45:53.440 Love her. She was there last night.

00:45:54.700 Yeah, she's fantastic. 0.99

00:45:55.600 But consuming our kind of content, you know, young people, I hope that they are inspired to speak out and meet people in the real world and be brave about sharing their values so that they can then meet somebody who shares their values.

00:46:06.860 Because it really is.

00:46:07.720 It's very difficult.

00:46:08.420 And set a higher standard for themselves.

00:46:11.160 Yes.

00:46:11.240 And for anybody who they allow to access their life.

00:46:14.020 Yes.

00:46:14.360 Never mind themselves intimately.

00:46:16.080 Yeah.

00:46:16.260 So I got to ask you, how did you and your husband meet?

00:46:18.040 We met through work.

00:46:19.080 Oh, okay.

00:46:19.740 Yeah.

00:46:19.860 Daily Wire?

00:46:20.480 Yeah.

00:46:20.580 Is he a Daily Wire guy?

00:46:21.260 Yeah.

00:46:21.420 Oh, that's great.

00:46:22.280 Yeah.

00:46:22.440 He left afterwards, but it was never expected to meet somebody through work.

00:46:27.780 But honestly, I was actually talking to Dennis about it last night because we were saying, you know, you told me to go on dating apps.

00:46:32.240 I was like, that was terrible, Dennis.

00:46:33.840 I left Los Angeles soon after that.

00:46:35.720 So his advice was not as needed because then I moved to Idaho and then I moved to Tennessee.

00:46:41.580 So I think that there were more options.

00:46:43.640 But, you know, that was helpful because-

00:46:44.740 I think it's very bold.

00:46:44.860 It's very bold and very optimistic of you to get married so young.

00:46:47.680 I love it.

00:46:48.480 I wish I had met my husband at 22 and that we had gotten married then, but-

00:46:52.380 I love it.

00:46:52.760 I'm so grateful.

00:46:53.780 I mean, everything that I do now, obviously, I think that we're pretty traditional, but we also have a bit of an untraditional marriage because I work and I'm obviously very much in the public eye.

00:47:03.760 But he's the reason why I feel confident enough to do all of this.

00:47:07.740 His support, his passion for it, his excitement about all of it.

00:47:11.540 It's like he is, and our marriage is the most important thing in my life, but it also propels everything else.

00:47:15.900 Like, it drives me in so many ways.

00:47:18.220 His support drives me.

00:47:19.160 He's so intelligent.

00:47:20.020 We have a great rapport.

00:47:21.300 He's an amazing, like, intellectual sparring partner.

00:47:24.140 So it really felt like the right thing.

00:47:26.400 That's like, it was amazing.

00:47:27.780 I couldn't recommend it more.

00:47:28.740 Obviously, I'm a month in.

00:47:29.820 It's a baby marriage, but it's great.

00:47:30.980 Well, you're glowing, so something's working.

00:47:32.440 I'm so happy for my daughter.

00:47:34.060 I don't know why I wasn't invited to the wedding.

00:47:36.280 I'm going to have to talk to your dad about that.

00:47:38.300 Yes.

00:47:38.840 Brett, all the best.

00:47:39.580 Thank you so much.

00:47:40.460 Thanks for having me.

00:47:40.720 And good luck with the show and all of it.

00:47:42.020 Thank you.

00:48:52.040 Joining me now is stand-up comedian and Eddie, my cartoon son, in the soon-to-be-hit series,

00:49:05.020 Mr. Burcham, Kyle Dunnigan.

00:49:07.860 Kyle was on with us back in April 2022 in episode 291, and my entire family and I are still laughing

00:49:14.040 about that episode.

00:49:14.780 We quote it regularly.

00:49:15.920 Among Kyle's other work, he's hysterical.

00:49:18.680 Kyle, welcome back to the show.

00:49:19.760 Thank you for having me, mom.

00:49:22.620 And that's so nice.

00:49:23.500 Your family, and you know the episode I was on.

00:49:26.480 Yes, because it lives as a legend in our family.

00:49:30.560 You're incredibly talented.

00:49:33.180 I just actually, I'll just kick it off with you just to remind people of what happened there.

00:49:37.780 This was Kyle as trans Trump, a character he does where it's Trump, only Trump is trans,

00:49:44.200 on the MK Show in 2022.

00:49:45.800 Watch this, Sot 31.

00:49:47.280 So stunning.

00:49:48.360 So terrific.

00:49:49.760 Dreads drop.

00:49:51.000 No.

00:49:51.420 So stunning.

00:49:52.380 You got, look, look, you got to vote for me.

00:49:54.800 You got no choice.

00:49:56.000 You got to do it.

00:49:56.760 I know that you prized beauty.

00:49:58.140 You used to own and run a beauty contest. 0.97

00:50:00.080 I'm not sure you'd be winning any of those awards like this.

00:50:03.340 Look, oh, Megyn Kelly.

00:50:04.980 Look at her attacking me again. 1.00

00:50:06.820 You know, this is, you're always so nasty to me. 0.72

00:50:08.680 I don't know why. 0.93

00:50:09.360 You're so, look, look, look. 1.00

00:50:12.040 You're so nasty. 1.00

00:50:13.200 Nasty woman. 1.00

00:50:13.940 You're a nasty lady. 1.00

00:50:17.980 You're a nasty lady. 1.00

00:50:19.440 You're amazing at this. 1.00

00:50:20.620 Such a nasty lady. 1.00

00:50:21.360 Were you always good at impressions? 0.99

00:50:22.700 Did you grow up doing them?

00:50:25.160 You know, it's funny.

00:50:26.140 I had, when I was really young to impress girls, I did some impressions.

00:50:32.280 And then, I remember I did Michael Jackson.

00:50:35.860 And then, I started doing stand-up and my manager, they were like, don't do impressions.

00:50:41.200 It was very, I don't know, just out or not cool to do it.

00:50:45.200 They were like, you know, Tim Allen, those kind of shows, Drew Carey, they talked about

00:50:49.960 their lives.

00:50:50.380 So I stopped doing them because I just was like listening to people I probably shouldn't

00:50:53.580 have listened to.

00:50:55.020 And then the, like, the pandemic happened and they had the face swap technology.

00:50:59.440 And I, I actually did Trump years ago, just when he was on The Apprentice, just for friends.

00:51:05.200 And I was, I look nothing like him.

00:51:07.440 Like, I look the opposite of him.

00:51:09.700 And so this face swap thing, I was like, oh, I can do him now because, I mean, if you

00:51:14.860 look at every feature of his face, it's different than mine.

00:51:18.460 It's, it's a complete opposite.

00:51:21.020 He's the face swap for the listening audience.

00:51:23.320 And then those took off.

00:51:24.360 So the listening audience doesn't know what we're talking about yet, but Kyle's not, he's

00:51:28.000 in LA, but he's not in studio with me because he does this thing that you have, he has to

00:51:31.780 be via Zoom to do it, where he swaps in the person he's imitating, their face on top of

00:51:37.140 his face.

00:51:38.260 Kyle puts on a wig that's aligned with the character and then he, he thus becomes said

00:51:44.240 person.

00:51:44.640 And it works.

00:51:45.540 How do you do this?

00:51:46.220 Do you do this like in front of audiences?

00:51:48.020 How could you ever do that in a standup?

00:51:49.780 Yeah, I have done that on live shows.

00:51:51.920 And I'll just put my laptop on the stage, like on a table, and then I'll project it

00:51:56.840 on the screen.

00:51:57.580 Okay.

00:51:58.480 But, um, usually I don't bring that.

00:52:00.700 It's a whole apparatus that I don't like to lug around.

00:52:04.900 Well, now you have something else to show those people, which is you, uh, starring in

00:52:09.340 Mr.

00:52:09.720 Mr.

00:52:10.040 Bertram as Eddie, Eddie Bertram, uh, the son.

00:52:13.300 So Adam and I, our characters have two kids.

00:52:15.760 Brett plays one of them and you play the other.

00:52:17.560 And here's just a clip.

00:52:18.840 Here's a clip of Eddie as voiced by.

00:52:21.100 Yeah.

00:52:21.920 By Kyle playing video games, which is his obsession. 0.99

00:52:25.080 Turn this crap off and come upstairs and eat like a normal human bear. 0.99

00:52:29.560 Bing. 1.00

00:52:30.900 Can't.

00:52:31.420 I'm crushing this camper during a little PVP.

00:52:34.040 Boss style.

00:52:35.640 PVP?

00:52:36.500 I thought you could only get one of those if you had a girlfriend.

00:52:39.260 And maybe you could get a girlfriend if you played a real sport.

00:52:43.060 This is a real sport.

00:52:44.040 I'm wearing my team jersey.

00:52:45.260 16 and a half.

00:52:46.640 What's that?

00:52:47.200 Larry Bird divided by two?

00:52:48.760 Dad, none of the angry birds are named Larry.

00:52:51.360 Yes.

00:52:52.520 Headshot.

00:52:54.040 Is that chair vibrating?

00:52:56.320 Take care of your body and it'll take care of you.

00:53:00.160 Says the guy's chugging an energy drink that was made in a lab in Wuhan. 0.71

00:53:04.560 Um, it's heated, does acupuncture, and can insult my competitors in 20 languages.

00:53:09.560 To a bet com te pi.

00:53:10.940 When I was on a construction site, my chair was a five gallon bucket.

00:53:16.700 It was also my toilet.

00:53:17.960 Ugh.

00:53:21.940 So.

00:53:22.740 I did like a California thing because I know he grew up in California.

00:53:26.140 So I was like, maybe he's like talks like this.

00:53:28.740 Yeah, that works.

00:53:30.280 That's my character work.

00:53:31.020 Well, see, that's your, that's your training.

00:53:32.660 I got all my Bircham merch here.

00:53:34.340 Where'd you get Bircham merch?

00:53:35.480 I got no Bircham merch.

00:53:36.960 They just gave them to their favorites.

00:53:38.940 Yeah, clearly.

00:53:39.840 You got to know someone.

00:53:40.920 Hello, Curtis.

00:53:42.120 Nate. 0.97

00:53:42.920 I got screwed. 0.94

00:53:44.140 Let's chat about, you know, some of our characters in the news. 0.94

00:53:47.460 Because I know you have intimate access to some of these guys.

00:53:50.720 Including, why don't we, we mentioned Kim Kardashian with Brett Cooper.

00:53:53.140 So I'm going to pick it up there.

00:53:54.280 Um, I don't know if you, I know she's, she's a close personal friend of yours.

00:53:58.160 Oh yeah, there she is. 0.98

00:53:59.440 Hi, Kim.

00:54:00.000 Yeah, she's actually here right now.

00:54:02.600 Hi, Megan.

00:54:03.720 All right.

00:54:03.940 So great to meet you.

00:54:05.120 Yeah.

00:54:05.640 I want to give you the chance to respond to the controversy over your teeny tiny waist 0.89

00:54:09.960 that looked like it was about 12 inches around.

00:54:12.280 Some people are wondering whether you had organs removed from your body.

00:54:16.160 Yeah, I had 16 ribs removed.

00:54:19.640 And they told me I only had 14.

00:54:22.420 Yeah.

00:54:24.860 I know that wasn't your only big event this week, though.

00:54:27.600 Because you went to the Met Gala and the night before you were at the Tom Brady roast.

00:54:33.440 And Kim, I'm going to play a soundbite here.

00:54:35.760 It didn't go well for you.

00:54:36.760 You got up there and you made a joke.

00:54:39.900 Here's the reaction.

00:54:40.880 I'm going to show it and then you can react.

00:54:42.280 Watch.

00:54:43.160 I know a lot of people make fun of your height.

00:54:49.980 All right.

00:54:50.920 All right.

00:54:51.320 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:54:52.160 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:54:53.780 You were booed.

00:54:54.940 Why?

00:54:55.920 I got booed.

00:54:56.960 Oh, that was so bad.

00:54:59.140 I looked pretty good, though.

00:55:00.560 Yeah.

00:55:02.220 You looked beautiful.

00:55:03.340 That's really all I care about.

00:55:04.280 Oh, I see.

00:55:05.560 What about your billion dollar business?

00:55:07.660 You must care about that.

00:55:09.260 Well, I do, of course.

00:55:11.680 But I think that just helps any kind of press is good press.

00:55:15.040 Even booing press is OK.

00:55:17.040 Did you enjoy the Met Gala going there with all those actual celebrities and, you know,

00:55:23.220 hobnobbing with the, well, I guess the actual C-list talent that's left in Hollywood?

00:55:28.560 Yeah.

00:55:28.920 I like to go to events like that because I can dress up and wear cute outfits.

00:55:33.840 Yeah.

00:55:34.140 So, yeah.

00:55:35.700 It's exciting.

00:55:37.320 All right, Kim.

00:55:37.900 Well, thanks for coming on.

00:55:38.720 This is a big exclusive for us.

00:55:40.180 I appreciate you being here.

00:55:41.900 It's very hard to book Kim Kardashian, even though she's literally everywhere.

00:55:46.960 OK.

00:55:47.400 What I'd really like to do, if you don't mind getting political, is speak with Joe Biden.

00:55:51.800 We ran a clip of Mr. Trump, who's, you know, in a different phase of life right now.

00:55:56.200 Oh, here he is, Mr. President.

00:55:57.220 Great to see you.

00:55:57.920 How are you?

00:55:58.420 Hey, hey, good to see you again, Megan Smelly. 1.00

00:56:03.360 You're lovely.

00:56:04.100 Not smelly.

00:56:05.640 Come on, you're lovely.

00:56:07.420 You're like a great lady to snap, man. 1.00

00:56:09.440 I want that to be clear.

00:56:12.620 I've got to ask you, Mr. President, you know, the polls lately have been maybe a little better

00:56:17.120 for you, but it's not looking great for you in these polls in the swing states.

00:56:21.600 How do you turn that around?

00:56:23.580 All right, look, we got to get rid of this Donald Duck guy.

00:56:28.060 Come on.

00:56:30.280 All we have to do is talk about the real issues.

00:56:34.960 For example, the Maximilts are coming over the border. 0.72

00:56:39.260 Some as young as $1.99.

00:56:43.000 And paragraph, new paragraph.

00:56:46.640 Smile.

00:56:49.820 Now, are you having a prompter issue again, Mr. President?

00:56:53.200 It seems like you might be reading your answers.

00:56:54.620 Look, look, we just, all I have to do is we have to tell the people that I'm just, no,

00:57:02.860 no, don't worry about my age.

00:57:04.860 We can even, we can just weaken at Bernie's, this thing for the next four years.

00:57:09.640 Smile.

00:57:09.940 Do you feel like, you know, if anything happens to you, do you feel like if anything happens to you, we can feel good about Kamala Harris ascending to the presidency?

00:57:21.600 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:57:25.000 You don't have to worry about Kamala Harris.

00:57:27.580 Everyone knows we can just weaken at Bernie's May.

00:57:30.020 It's a fine piece of film.

00:57:31.520 It's a wonderful movie.

00:57:33.420 So if nothing else, I promise in my next term, at the very least, we'll be quite hilarious.

00:57:39.400 Semi-colon.

00:57:40.740 The hijinks alone will be worthwhile. 1.00

00:57:44.000 Triple exclamation point.

00:57:46.540 End page.

00:57:48.480 Next page.

00:57:51.000 What?

00:57:51.960 Mr. President, I really wanted to ask you a question because recently on Cinco de Mayo, you had a big party and you brought out the margaritas in the Rose Garden and had a great time demanding that Congress demand or allow dreamers who have been model citizens, according to you, come into the country and vote.

00:58:08.460 And that was very controversial.

00:58:10.760 How did you, did you drink those margaritas?

00:58:12.860 Because you said some weird things that day.

00:58:14.740 At Rose Garden, was I, what was I doing while I was at the Rose Garden?

00:58:22.800 Well, you're the president and that's your garden.

00:58:25.920 President?

00:58:26.900 I'd like to meet that man.

00:58:28.860 I salute that guy.

00:58:30.320 Can I ask you, sir?

00:58:39.100 I know this may be a little impudent, but you seem to get lost a lot when I see you in these videos and you seem to have trouble with the stairs up Air Force One.

00:58:50.720 I mean, if it's not your age, what is it worth seeing in those videos?

00:58:53.640 Those are, those are, those are fake films that they, they, they'll take a, they'll take a perfectly good job by, you know, I'll take my talking pills and I'll be, I'll be doing just fine.

00:59:08.860 Sometimes the stairs will come at you and they'll, they'll move that things, that things on the conveyor belt, you know, if you're familiar with the plane stairs.

00:59:20.320 Oh, got to look really closely, I guess, to see it.

00:59:23.180 I have to ask you about your revisions to Title IX.

00:59:26.500 I have to tell you, I'm very unhappy with you.

00:59:29.380 You made, you redefined the word woman. 0.87

00:59:32.380 You now said that biological boys and men in K through 12 in college can go into the girls' locker rooms, into the girls' bathrooms.

00:59:40.660 Why'd you do that?

00:59:42.180 That's right.

00:59:43.320 That's right.

00:59:44.680 Because it's the right thing to do. 0.99

00:59:46.100 Whether, whether it's a, a boy having a, boy having vaginas or penis having girls, everyone deserves to go to the bathroom and in the same place. 0.99

00:59:55.780 And I stand, I'll stand by that. 0.99

00:59:58.160 Smile and care for her.

01:00:01.160 Would you want your daughter using such a bathroom with a biological man coming in? 1.00

01:00:06.060 Well, you know, who's to say, you know, my daughter could, my daughter could have a, a penis or a vagina or a vagina or a penis. 1.00

01:00:17.200 You know, the worst thing you could do is tell a man that he has to have certain, certain things. 1.00

01:00:23.760 And, you know, there's a stall there.

01:00:25.580 You close the door, man.

01:00:26.780 Come on.

01:00:27.260 Well, the other thing you did in your Title IX revisions was you took away due process rights for young men on college campus who, campuses who get accused of sexual assault.

01:00:39.140 And, you know, it does occur to me, sir, respectfully, that if you held yourself to those same standards when Tara Reid accused you of a sexual assault, you might be behind bars.

01:00:49.540 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:00:52.320 I just gave her a nice little sniff. 0.73

01:00:54.380 That's all.

01:00:54.780 It's the difference between a sniff and a sexual sniff.

01:00:57.960 Big difference.

01:00:59.720 Plus, you're, you're assuming I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, if you're, you're assuming I'm, I'm doing, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.

01:01:09.880 Come on.

01:01:10.780 You know the thing.

01:01:13.180 Get your face out of your ears, pal.

01:01:15.040 What do you, you know, Mr. President, sometimes you refer to the dead people as alive and the alive people as dead.

01:01:22.560 That's happening more and more.

01:01:23.860 What, what's like, do you not remember who's dead and alive?

01:01:28.680 Yeah, well, you know, it's hard to, you know, you know, it's hard to remember sometimes who's, who's a dead and who's not alive person.

01:01:35.400 And so I think what the best thing is we can do as a nation is come together and just start all over.

01:01:42.420 And, uh, just, if I, if I say, if here's the thing, it's better than a Donald duck guy.

01:01:49.180 That's the vote, man.

01:01:50.660 All right.

01:01:52.320 You guys got orange legs.

01:01:53.900 You know, before I let you go, I've got to let you respond to the criticism that was launched the way of your wife at the top of the show, Adam Carolla came on and made a point.

01:02:04.700 I confess I've made myself in the past, sir.

01:02:06.620 And that is that your wife has no business calling herself doctor, that she's not a real doctor care to respond.

01:02:12.700 Yeah, she's a real, come on, she's a real doctor, doctor, uh, she's a doctor of, uh, she's a doctor of, of something, man, right?

01:02:24.060 What, what are you saying?

01:02:25.820 She's, you could go to her, ask her, I go to her all the time.

01:02:29.560 I say, Jill, what do I do with this?

01:02:32.220 You know, she'll say, get a band-aid or whatnot.

01:02:35.000 She's a doctor.

01:02:37.320 You think?

01:02:38.840 What do you think she is? 1.00

01:02:40.160 Oh, yeah, she, I think she's got something approaching a doctorate, but not an actual PhD in education.

01:02:50.860 Jill.

01:02:52.580 Hey, you're a doctor.

01:02:56.420 Huh?

01:02:58.220 What?

01:02:59.900 What?

01:03:01.160 Oh, you're right.

01:03:01.960 She's not, she's not a doctor.

01:03:03.480 How did she?

01:03:04.360 I've never asked her that before.

01:03:05.960 You maybe should find a new doctor, sir, to look after your neurological health.

01:03:11.500 Thank you so much for being here.

01:03:12.800 That's a great honor to have you on the program.

01:03:14.840 Appreciate it.

01:03:16.280 Thank you.

01:03:16.920 Thank you, Megan.

01:03:17.780 It's not a great, great, great time.

01:03:19.740 Good luck to you, guys, ma'am.

01:03:21.660 Now, I, I missed my opportunity when we were talking about the Met Gala to bring up another guest who was there.

01:03:28.820 And this is someone I actually really admire, unlike my first two guests, and that is Jeff Goldblum.

01:03:33.840 He's a, he's a great actor.

01:03:36.100 I mean, oh, Jeff, thank you so much for coming on the Megan Kelly show.

01:03:41.320 Yes, Megan.

01:03:43.080 So wonderful to be here.

01:03:44.560 I've never been on your show before, but, but, but, but I, I do love watching.

01:03:49.520 And so it's an honor to be here.

01:03:50.620 Yeah.

01:03:50.820 Oh, wonderful.

01:03:51.560 I, you know, and if, if I'm, if I'm creepy, please let me know.

01:03:57.340 People say that I, you're a little creepy, so please keep me in line.

01:04:02.880 Not, not getting the creepy vibe at all.

01:04:05.080 You went to the Met Gala and unlike many there, you actually, you know, have a thing or two between your two ears.

01:04:11.460 And you actually started reciting the poem, The Raven, aloud.

01:04:16.140 I mean, that was impressive.

01:04:17.460 How, how did you become such a learned man?

01:04:21.560 Uh, well, I've always, um, just enjoyed poems and, uh, you know, what I, what I love about them is they, they sort of condense and they, they say much more, uh, much like a, uh, uh, a painting than, um, just droning on.

01:04:37.240 But, but, uh, the Met Gala, um, is the perfect place for a poem, yes.

01:04:42.460 It's a classy and, uh, and an elegant evening of women, uh, dressing like horse. 1.00

01:04:49.720 Uh, yes.

01:04:51.780 Yes.

01:04:52.160 And many people enjoyed that.

01:04:53.520 I was not one of them, but I understand.

01:04:55.460 And so you look back now, you're getting a little, a little older, but you still look great.

01:04:59.660 I saw you recently at a restaurant in New York city.

01:05:01.560 You were completely gracious to myself and my husband, my children.

01:05:06.040 I appreciated that.

01:05:07.280 But as you look back on your, your very successful career, what jumps out at you?

01:05:11.640 Is it Jurassic Park?

01:05:12.780 Um, what's, what's like, what was your favorite film that you did?

01:05:17.360 It, uh, it actually, um, my favorite work was my work on apartments.com because, um, I'm helping people find places to live.

01:05:28.980 And, and although it is fun to work with dinosaurs, yes, yes, I do love dinosaurs, uh, I'd actually like to find a dinosaur, you know, I'm not sure if they lived in caves or whatever, but, uh, I like to house people more than act, yes.

01:05:47.340 Thank you again for being here.

01:05:48.980 We look forward to your next Academy Award.

01:05:50.820 We'll be cheering you on.

01:05:52.060 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:05:54.980 Kyle, you're amazing.

01:05:59.880 Like, is this what you do in your spare time?

01:06:01.880 Do you just like sit around coming up with these voices and working on them?

01:06:05.540 Wait, you still have your, there you go.

01:06:06.740 There's your face.

01:06:07.300 I have too much.

01:06:08.120 I have too much spare time.

01:06:09.740 Yeah.

01:06:10.480 And I have, um, yeah, I have, uh, this is popsicle Trump, Donald Trump.

01:06:16.380 I I've got no face swap for Donald.

01:06:18.700 So I had to be a popsicle because of my gag order. 0.94

01:06:23.040 The judge wouldn't allow me on this show unless I was a popsicle, but it's great.

01:06:30.000 Big popsicles.

01:06:30.920 You can go right up to him and you can slide on up where the sun don't shine.

01:06:35.140 When you're a popsicle, they let you do it.

01:06:37.720 They let you do it when you're a popsicle, but you got to get out of there before you

01:06:42.620 melt though.

01:06:43.380 Believe me, you got to get out of there. 0.98

01:06:46.740 Great to see you back at you're a beautiful, you're a nasty woman, but you're a beautiful 1.00

01:06:51.000 woman, but it's a beautiful, nasty woman. 1.00

01:06:53.820 I hope you like that compliment. 0.99

01:06:55.480 Wait, Trump gives the greatest compliment.

01:06:57.720 Mr.

01:06:58.800 Trump.

01:07:00.220 I, I didn't realize you were going to come on.

01:07:02.860 I'll take you in any form.

01:07:03.960 This is a big get.

01:07:05.140 Um, what's your reaction to stormy Daniels on this, on the stand yesterday claiming you

01:07:11.340 had an interlude.

01:07:12.360 Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

01:07:16.580 I have a gag order here.

01:07:17.920 Okay. 0.96

01:07:18.100 I can't say that stormy is a total liar. 1.00

01:07:20.840 I can't threaten the jury. 1.00

01:07:22.960 Although I could have them all killed very easily. 0.98

01:07:26.420 If this, if this doesn't go Trump's way, people know, I know people. 0.99

01:07:30.560 So the jury needs to do the right thing, but I've got a gag order.

01:07:34.400 Kelly, you know, I can't talk about this.

01:07:36.900 I can't threaten the jury.

01:07:38.480 Love to talk about it.

01:07:39.540 Well, is it true?

01:07:41.820 I mean, like, do you have any reaction to her taking the stand and saying you slept

01:07:45.660 with her in 2006, you told her you and Melania don't sleep in the same bed.

01:07:49.620 And you had a quote, brief sexual encounter with stormy Daniels in the missionary position.

01:07:54.820 She was very explicit.

01:07:56.340 And then you called her honey bunch.

01:07:58.180 True or not true.

01:08:01.300 First of all, a couple of things here.

01:08:03.740 Doesn't she understand the concept of a gag order that the hush money is,

01:08:09.540 the hush, that hush is in the, is right there.

01:08:12.100 Hush money.

01:08:13.120 Okay.

01:08:13.740 And I don't look at a woman face to face. 0.98

01:08:16.100 So that's a total lie.

01:08:17.580 I never do missionary.

01:08:19.240 It's too confronting for me.

01:08:21.040 So there's proof.

01:08:24.220 You're like a classy stormy Daniels to me.

01:08:26.820 I thought about that when stormy was on the stand.

01:08:28.900 But I'm like, this is, this is just like Megyn Kelly, the stormy Daniels, but you're much

01:08:34.420 more classy, of course.

01:08:35.840 Thank you.

01:08:36.760 Stormy is like a Megyn Kelly whose dad doesn't love her.

01:08:40.600 Sorry.

01:08:40.980 That's what I think.

01:08:42.220 You're a very classy stormy.

01:08:45.840 I appreciate that.

01:08:47.200 I mean, I, I don't know.

01:08:48.300 I like, there are still some women in America. 1.00

01:08:50.600 They may not look very favorably on the fact that this was an extramarital interlude,

01:08:55.460 sir.

01:08:56.480 Look, look, nobody cares.

01:08:59.100 Okay.

01:08:59.800 Nobody cares.

01:09:01.820 What is, why, why can't Trump talk?

01:09:04.160 Okay.

01:09:04.740 What's with this gag order?

01:09:06.740 I mean, at, at most stormy's got a ball gag order. 1.00

01:09:10.480 Not so terrific.

01:09:11.800 This judge.

01:09:13.060 Okay.

01:09:14.000 I was hoping to do that joke of the Tom Brady roast, but they wouldn't have a popsicle.

01:09:19.080 So he wasn't able to do it.

01:09:21.140 Sad.

01:09:21.700 It's too bad.

01:09:22.920 What do you think of Tom Brady, by the way, he's getting a lot of blowback.

01:09:25.340 I mean, he was your supporter, but there are a lot of blowback in the wake of that roast.

01:09:29.240 People saying he was, he allowed too many terrible jokes about, uh, both of his exes,

01:09:33.940 Bridget Moynihan and Giselle.

01:09:35.800 And, uh, he got in somebody's face over a joke about Robert Kraft as, you know, wasn't

01:09:40.380 really that beyond the pale.

01:09:41.920 I don't know.

01:09:42.560 Did, do you think Tom Brady handled himself well? 1.00

01:09:46.280 I mean, he's a total loser. 0.99

01:09:48.020 Let's be honest here. 1.00

01:09:48.940 The guy's a total loser. 1.00

01:09:50.760 It's all over for Tom. 1.00

01:09:52.300 Okay.

01:09:52.540 This is what they do.

01:09:53.460 They go on these roasts.

01:09:54.860 They try to get attention, but it's all over.

01:09:57.500 Okay.

01:09:58.140 The guy's a pretty guy.

01:09:59.700 He's a good looking guy.

01:10:00.860 It's not jealousy, but he's going to just begin.

01:10:03.780 That's a diminishing return.

01:10:05.120 They looks, you know,

01:10:06.400 is it even for you?

01:10:08.360 No, I'm a popsicle.

01:10:11.800 I should be all right.

01:10:12.820 Keep me in the freezer.

01:10:14.400 Should be okay.
