00:00:00.520
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
00:00:12.060
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show in this Thursday a.m. special
00:00:17.160
episode. There's two things in particular I want to get to with you today. No guests, just me.
00:00:22.820
Um, we mentioned it on the show on Wednesday, but did you see any of this hearing that they had in
00:00:30.600
the Senate on Monday? It was called the American health and nutrition, a second opinion round table
00:00:37.440
discussion at the Senate. It was hosted by U S Senator Ron Johnson, Republican from Wisconsin,
00:00:44.900
Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. And it was so eyeopening and alarming. And I really,
00:00:52.580
really, really hope you guys will go back and look at it. It's four hours long. You could watch
00:00:56.940
it on 2.0, but we'll post a link to it in our episode description. I'm going to give you just
00:01:01.800
a couple of highlights. All right. Imagine waking up one day to find out your home no longer belongs
00:01:07.600
to you. Oh, that someone somewhere has stolen your property right out from under you. It sounds
00:01:13.560
impossible, right? But it is a sad reality for some American homeowners and it's a risk for anyone that
00:01:19.060
owns property house stealing. That's what the FBI calls it. It's a form of real estate fraud or
00:01:24.840
scammers leverage loopholes in the system to fraudulently transfer your home's title into their
00:01:31.300
name. Then they take out loans against your property or even sell it behind your back. By the time you
00:01:36.960
find out the scammer's long gone, leaving you the legitimate homeowner to clean up the mess. But right
00:01:42.160
now, triple lock protection is available through home title lock.com offering 24 seven title

00:02:07.060
below, you know, Dr. Casey means she was on our show a couple of Fridays ago, promoting her book,
00:02:13.260
good energy. And it's an incredible read and it's very upsetting, but also a call to action when it
00:02:20.380
comes to what we're feeding our children and ourselves. She talks about what we're doing to
00:02:25.320
ourselves, you know, mitochondrial damage that we're causing to ourselves and how the entire system is set
00:02:33.080
up to hurt us from the way we shop to the way we farm, to the way we feed kids in school, to the way
00:02:41.520
our doctors treat us, to the way they hook us on medicine and big pharma steps in to keep us hooked
00:02:47.280
forever to how doctors in med school are not educated on how to heal anything, no prevention, no nutrition.
00:02:55.640
It's all about how to treat illnesses that are there with a pill or a scalpel. And the whole system's
00:03:02.120
on its head when it comes to our wellbeing and our health. So RFKJ was there. He was one of sort of
00:03:11.760
the co-hosts, I would say, but it really wasn't about him. He was making good points, but it was
00:03:16.540
really about these activists who have been in this space for a long time sounding the alarm. Here's a
00:03:23.520
soundbite from Casey means doctor, Stanford educated surgeon on what she didn't learn in med school.
00:03:30.720
It's not an overstatement to say that I learned virtually nothing at Stanford medical school
00:03:41.560
about the tens of thousands of scientific papers that elucidate these root causes of why American
00:03:48.640
health is plummeting and how environmental factors are causing it. For instance, in medical school,
00:03:53.580
I did not learn that for each additional serving of ultra processed food, we eat early mortality increases
00:03:59.460
by 18%. This now makes up 67% of the foods our kids are eating. I took zero nutrition courses in medical
00:04:08.240
school. We need a return to common sense and intuition. We need a return to awe for the sheer miraculousness
00:04:20.680
of our lives. We need all hands on deck. Casey's book goes into things like, I mean, truly ultra
00:04:31.460
processed foods being the absolute worst, the absolute worst. They're everywhere. Stay out of
00:04:35.580
the middle of the grocery store. It's the food you put in your pantry or your cupboard. It's not the
00:04:40.520
food around the aisles, you know, on the outskirts of the grocery store that will spoil in a week. If you
00:04:45.760
leave it on the counter, that's the stuff that you should be eating, but you should be eating organic
00:04:50.340
versions of it, organic fruits and vegetables. I know it's expensive, but so is high healthcare,
00:04:56.680
you know, a lot of healthcare needs. And unfortunately the system is set up to make you sick.
00:05:02.060
So it's a must. And she was talking in great detail about, you know, the amount of pesticides
00:05:08.940
that we are putting on our fruits and vegetables in the modern American farm is absolutely horrifying.
00:05:18.700
And that these are carcinogens, they're carcinogens. And we expect them to kill on impact all of these
00:05:26.040
bugs. But with us, it's supposed to be fine. It does absolutely nothing to us. We're some, you know,
00:05:31.620
magical creature that doesn't have any blowback from consuming all of these chemicals.
00:05:36.160
Um, so organic fruits and vegetables, pasture raised organic chicken and eggs, grass fed organic beef
00:05:46.560
and milk to grass fed milk, um, wild caught fish, because the other stuff is filled with a bunch of
00:05:57.260
stuff, not just toxins, but plastics and so on. Um, she talks about exercise and how, if there were a
00:06:04.740
drug that you could take that would reduce your risk of Alzheimer's in half, it would be the number
00:06:13.380
one bestselling drug in all of America. And she writes in the book, there is, it's called walking
00:06:18.980
10,000 steps a day. That's it. Like move, move your body, get a, get a treadmill, get a walking
00:06:26.820
treadmill, uh, uh, a raising raisable desk and a walking treadmill underneath it. So you can get
00:06:33.080
your steps in, challenge yourself, hot and cold therapy. You can just turn your shower to cold at
00:06:38.120
the end of the shower, two minutes, start with 30 seconds, work your way up to 60 and do two. It
00:06:44.400
eventually doesn't hurt hurts in the beginning, but your body needs to be shocked with extreme heat
00:06:51.160
and extreme cold because that's how we used to live, right? Like our ancestors who grew up in
00:06:56.980
the mountains would face 40 degree temperatures overnight and 80 degree temperatures during the
00:07:01.800
day. And we're used to that, not 72 degrees, perfectly comfortable inside a climate controlled
00:07:08.200
living room or office all day. Um, talks about getting back in touch with nature. You heard a little
00:07:13.920
bit of that in her, in her soundbite about how you should be outside for some 15 minutes within the
00:07:22.240
first hour of waking up. You'd be the one to walk your dogs. You'd be the one to go out for get the
00:07:27.400
paper off your driveway. Um, reconnection, connecting with nature through hikes or moonlight star gazes,
00:07:36.760
or yes, feet in the grass and your children too. And sort of reconnect with our connection with one
00:07:45.660
another and how we're all related. You know, we're all part of the same cycle that regenerates
00:07:51.580
generation after generation, both the earth and ourselves. Uh, there's a lot in that book. And there
00:07:57.920
was a lot at that hearing that was really sensible. And also let's be honest, somewhat infuriating
00:08:04.800
when it comes to the incentives that these companies have to keep us sick, that big pharma
00:08:10.220
medicine, big ag, they don't give a damn about the amount of pesticides they're shoving at us.
00:08:19.100
They just want to make money. They don't give a damn about the ultra processed foods. They're
00:08:24.260
shoving down our children's faces in school and at the grocery store. They just want to make money.
00:08:31.020
And then the doctors make money on the backend because everyone gets sick because colon cancer
00:08:37.400
rates are going up and pancreatic cancer is striking at younger and younger ages and people
00:08:42.200
are dying, but the system always wins. The system lives on and finds a whole new generation of potential
00:08:48.460
victims. Um, there was a woman who I mentioned on the show. She was great. Her name is Vani Hari
00:08:57.720
and she's a food activist. She was there with a guy named Jason Karp, who's the founder and CEO of
00:09:04.520
human co-brands and co-founder of something called Hugh kitchen. And they got up there to talk about
00:09:12.040
the difference just between Europe and the United States about how the European government does
00:09:17.360
actually have some baseline regulations on what can be in the food supply. We have like none. It's still
00:09:24.180
the wild West here. And she made this example with a few different food types, including fruit loops.
00:09:30.660
Here's a bit of that. This is the Canadian version. This is the brightness of the Canadian version
00:09:36.840
just for, for visibility. And this is the brightness of artificial food dyes. So of course,
00:09:46.100
Kellogg and other food companies will argue children prefer this over this just as they would prefer
00:09:52.080
cocaine over sugar. That doesn't make it okay. But I think
00:09:56.600
the addiction to sugar, not to mention those food dyes, which are carcinogens, uh, is rampant.
00:10:08.640
You guys know by this point, the story of how these food groups decided that saturated fat was going
00:10:14.440
to be made the bad guy and sugar was going to be added into all our foods. So we got rid of saturated
00:10:19.840
fat. We put sugar in everything. We all got addicted to sugar. Our kids are addicted to sugar.
00:10:24.180
Casey means writes in her book, do you know how much sugar kids actually should be taking in
00:10:27.900
these little kids? The, the federal guidelines suggested something like 25 grams, zero, zero.
00:10:37.040
I used to really like these Yasso bars. I still like them. I'm not going to lie.
00:10:41.720
Um, they have 18 grams of sugar. That's like the lighter Greek yogurt style ice cream, just on a stick.
00:10:47.840
So your amount you take in is limited. That's not how kids eat ice cream. Most kids have like a big
00:10:54.640
bowl of ice cream. And in a lot of families like my own, we were allowing to happen every night.
00:11:00.860
We were not stopping our kids from having dessert. They're thin. They seem healthy. That's terrible.
00:11:07.640
Like I'm ashamed. We were doing that, that we're not doing that now, but think about it. Like the whole
00:11:13.200
industry is a big shoulder shrug. What did they do in school? Every time somebody has a birthday,
00:11:17.540
there's a treat, there's a cake, there's a cookie. There's something that's both, both highly or
00:11:22.600
ultra processed and sugary to perpetuate your kid's addiction. You go out to dinner, seed oils.
00:11:32.280
They're in everything. We showed you the video a couple of weeks ago of how seed oils are made.
00:11:36.440
It looks like filling up the gas tank in your car. I don't even know what that substance is.
00:11:41.160
It's absolutely disgusting. And it's in everything. Vegetable oil. Sounds so healthy.
00:11:46.620
Olive oil. Yes. Coconut oil. Yes. Avocado oil. Yes. But all these things, try going and eating healthy
00:11:54.380
seeds and nuts in the grocery store. They are healthy seeds and nuts. That's a good snack. Unless
00:12:00.660
you buy the 90% prepackaged kind that are everywhere that say they were roasted in sunflower oil,
00:12:07.980
which they almost all do. Pesto, vegetable oil, sunflower oil, whatever oil. You have to really
00:12:14.640
look to find olive oil as the base. You have to read all the ingredients. It takes a lot of time.
00:12:22.460
Who's got time to learn all these lessons? But these changes could be potentially life-saving.
00:12:27.140
I'm irritated we have to work so hard for it. I want a store that will just offer only healthy
00:12:35.960
foods. And I mean truly healthy. Without the pesticides, without the ultra-processed stuff,
00:12:41.300
without all the sugar, the added sugar. They're not complaining about the sugar that's in a pear.
00:12:47.000
Without drinks like sodas and fruit juice, which is just the devil. There isn't such a thing.
00:12:54.280
And when they tried at this hearing to call attention to these issues, they got laughed at.
00:13:00.840
I talked about the Atlantic article that referred to it as the woo-woo summit. Screw you.
00:13:08.980
That magazine is owned by Lorraine Powell Jobs. Do you think she has to worry about what's on
00:13:16.300
the back of the back of a cereal box? She's got chefs and drivers, and she probably has her own
00:13:26.060
organic regenerative farm from which she eats all of her own stuff, including beef and so on.
00:13:33.100
She's probably got only the wild-caught salmon brought to her. She doesn't have to worry about
00:13:37.620
this. She has this magazine, The Atlantic, in which one of her writers just shits all over
00:13:45.020
the expertise of doctors from Stanford and Harvard, the best institutions, as just woo-woo. They're nuts.
00:13:54.820
They're crazy. Why? Because the vast majority of advertisers and the mainstream media are controlled
00:14:01.800
by big pharma. The vast majority are controlled. So they have no interest in doing stories that make
00:14:07.280
Pfizer look bad, not to mention Kellogg's. No interest whatsoever. And people like Lorraine
00:14:13.760
Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs' widow, have absolutely none of the same concerns that you or I or people who
00:14:19.860
are working class have in terms of ease and functionality and cost in getting groceries and
00:14:27.560
food into their homes that won't poison themselves. The other thing is the water supply.
00:14:34.100
The fluoride in the vast majority of water, not to mention all of the pollutants, get a water filter,
00:14:41.140
get a Brita. That's actually not that expensive. Get a Brita and just drink through. I haven't been
00:14:45.940
doing it. If you haven't, you're not alone. I hadn't either. I like to consider myself as somebody
00:14:51.740
who's relatively well-informed. Nope. Now we have one. And you can get the kind that goes right
00:14:57.500
in your faucet if you prefer that. You could do just your drinking faucet. But, you know, ideally
00:15:02.500
you'd do the faucet in your bathroom if you pour up a glass of water there before you go to bed or
00:15:08.700
when you wake up. There's a special kind of faucet. I just found out like, I mean, a filter that you
00:15:15.120
can get that like filters all the water that comes into your house. I think it's large and it's probably
00:15:20.480
not cheap. I have not yet asked those questions, but there's options out there to clean up your water
00:15:27.020
supply, not to mention your air supply. I don't have, I don't have an air filter in my house.
00:15:31.520
I don't have one, but I'm going to get one. The amount of plastics that we're breathing
00:15:36.320
and pollution that we're breathing. They actually say it's less polluted outside than inside.
00:15:40.620
We heard that from Casey means all these things we could be changing to improve our wellbeing and that
00:15:46.800
of our children. And we have a government that's fighting against us. We have an industry around
00:15:51.280
every corner that's fighting against us because it's not in their financial interest to have us
00:15:57.640
get better. So it's outrageous. Here was RFKJ talking about how now, of course, everyone is
00:16:04.340
hooked on Ozempic and they're starting to push it for children as young as six. SOT 38.
00:16:13.340
It's not 74% of Americans are obese. The cost of all of them, if they take their Ozempic prescriptions
00:16:22.400
will be $3 trillion a year or half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase regeneratively raised
00:16:30.100
organic agriculture or organic food for every American, three meals a day and gym membership
00:16:38.040
for every obese American. Why are members of Congress doing the bidding of this Danish company
00:16:43.840
instead of standing up for American farmers and children?
00:16:49.500
Good question. I mean, it certainly serves big ag, the food companies. What they would love us to
00:16:58.040
remain as obese as we are. We're at record levels of obesity right now in this country. They would love
00:17:04.260
that. We're patients forever. And we just buy more food and we sit on our couch and then we go to the
00:17:10.240
big pharma companies and we ask for either Ozempic or somebody who will cure all the health problems
00:17:16.580
that we've caused by eating this way and living this way. That's fantastic for them. They don't
00:17:22.220
give a damn about you or me. That's what Jillian Michaels was trying to say. She was there too,
00:17:28.500
you know, from The Biggest Loser. She's got a great podcast now. She spent her life trying to help
00:17:33.840
people get in shape, move more, live in a more healthy way. Here she was in SOT 36.
00:17:40.820
In the late 70s and the early 80s, a sinister series of events converged to change food and
00:17:46.980
subsequently health in America indefinitely. A plague that crept like a fog while we slept,
00:17:54.100
literally and figuratively blindly trusting that the powers that be would never betray us. I mean,
00:17:59.980
it seemed unthinkable to question whether a corporation would poison us for profit.
00:18:05.120
The default human condition in the 21st century is obese by design. Specific traceable forms of
00:18:14.120
what's referred to as structural violence are created by the catastrophic quartet of big farming,
00:18:20.700
big food, big pharma, and big insurance. They systematically corrupt every institution
00:18:27.160
of trust, which has led to the global spread of obesity and disease.
00:18:33.180
It's really totally disheartening, but you can do something about it. This Maha thing,
00:18:40.520
it's for real. That's a movement that will live on no matter who wins this election. Make America
00:18:46.400
healthy again, as Nicole Shanahan was talking about yesterday. That must continue, and you'll
00:18:53.280
hopefully be a part of it. Stop buying these foods. Stop buying the stuff with the food coloring in it.
00:19:01.020
Stay away from the inside of the grocery store aisles. Shop the perimeter. Stop patronizing these
00:19:08.240
companies that are trying to hurt us and start moving your bodies more and sleeping better, right?
00:19:13.980
We had a guy on this show a couple of years ago. He was awesome. I'll get the show number for you,
00:19:20.560
but he talked about how you need to set a sleeping schedule for yourself. Doug and I, we go to bed
00:19:26.180
every night, no later than 10, 10, 15. Obviously, there's a night here or there where that doesn't
00:19:31.840
work, but for the most part, I would say 85% of our lives, that's when we go to bed and we wake up
00:19:37.580
between 6 and 6.30. That's eight hours. Maybe we sleep seven of them. Sometimes we're lucky and we
00:19:44.140
sleep eight of them, but it's not even ... What's really important is that you sleep well, where you
00:19:49.080
get that deep sleep. It was episode 284 with Matt Walker, episode 284 in our archive, but you do have
00:19:57.640
to prioritize your sleep. That's critical to preventing dementia and to living well and give your body and
00:20:05.420
cells a chance to regenerate. Anyway, all these things can be done. Adjusting your sleep schedule,
00:20:10.220
that doesn't take any sort of money. For most people, it just takes the will to be a bit more
00:20:16.940
regulated on your yeses, on your social calendar and so on, and pulling away from television at that
00:20:24.620
hour of night and so on. Anyway, I wanted to bring this to you because it's being so ignored by the
00:20:29.120
mainstream media and that's what they want. F them. F them. We're not going to ignore it. We're going to
00:20:34.240
talk about it. All right. Now I want to shift gears because I've got to talk to you about what
00:20:39.820
happened over on CNN and then subsequently the view in the media because this is just the most
00:20:46.820
ridiculous media story we've seen in a while. It involves a professor at Vanderbilt University
00:20:54.660
named Michael Eric Dyson. He was on CNN. Nancy Mace, Republican representative from the state of
00:21:03.380
South Carolina, was there as well. And they were giving her a hard time because on the show on CNN,
00:21:10.700
she was not pronouncing Kamala correctly. Well, there was a bit of a meltdown because
00:21:17.880
just like Bill Clinton, she wasn't pronouncing it correctly. And that's not allowed, you see.
00:21:27.380
When you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will call her whatever you want, I know
00:21:33.080
you don't intend it to be that way. That's the history and legacy of white disregard for
00:21:36.960
the humanity of black people. So now you're calling me racist. I didn't say, I just said
00:21:40.100
you weren't a racist. That is complete yes. No, you don't have to intend racism to accomplish.
00:21:43.960
Kamala Harris. So now just hold on to that thought. Okay. First, he lays into her saying that this is
00:22:02.580
part of a history of white disregard for the humanity of black people, white disregard for
00:22:10.500
the humanity of black people. And she says, Oh, now you're calling me racist. No, I didn't say
00:22:16.500
you don't have to intend. He says, you don't have to intend racism in order to say something racist
00:22:23.800
in order to be racist. You don't have to intend it. Intent is irrelevant. They've been saying this
00:22:29.540
a lot in the past few years. Part of the whole DEI initiative. Your intent is irrelevant. Your
00:22:34.800
statements either are or are not racist. Your behavior either is or is not racist. And what he says,
00:22:39.940
her behavior is, is that she's part of a history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity
00:22:46.420
of black people. Now you tell me, was she being accused of racism or not? Hello. It's very obvious.
00:22:54.580
And I don't blame her for being irritated, uh, which she was. So I don't know if it was a day or two
00:23:03.280
after that, Nancy Mace finds herself back at her real job, which is in Congress. And previously in
00:23:09.460
this hearing, okay, it was a month later, previously in this hearing, we're going to play
00:23:12.900
you a soundbite from a Democrat decided to go off on people who are not pronouncing Kamala Harris's
00:23:19.560
name correctly. Same old thing. It's racist about sex or whatever it is. And Nancy Mace came up later
00:23:26.420
in the congressional hearing and tried to rebut some of those claims that were being made. And here is
00:23:34.240
what she did in part in South 13. I would like to also enter into the record, a screenshot of a text
00:23:42.760
message I received from the esteemed professor from Vanderbilt, Michael Eric Dyson, after my CNN
00:23:49.200
interview begged me for photos in this text. He says, after calling me a racist on CNN, don't tell
00:23:57.720
anybody we look good together and sent me a kissy emoji without a guy. The guy says I'm gorgeous.
00:24:04.280
And all these photos, I don't think he's that been out of shape on how anyone pronounces
00:24:08.100
Kamala. Uh, and if we're going to have that standard, you got to hold it to both sides,
00:24:12.580
not just one or the one or the other. That last comment was a reference to, she went through
00:24:17.960
all the Democrats who mispronounced Kamala's name. It's not just a Republican thing. It's an unusual
00:24:23.740
name and people take time to get used to it. And people even who are her fans mispronounce it. So
00:24:29.840
just shut up. They're constantly looking for some reason to play the race card. We've seen that for
00:24:35.600
years. We all know it. So whatever. So she enters into the record that Michael Eric Dyson sent her
00:24:43.540
flirty texts after he called her suggested she was a racist on CNN. And she enters into the
00:24:51.620
congressional record a picture of the two of them backstage, uh, at CNN. We would later learn in which
00:24:57.960
he comments on how good they look together and her gorgeousness, which I gotta be honest. I thought
00:25:05.900
was kind of funny. I don't blame her. If she's, if she's a racist, if she's somebody who says racist
00:25:11.780
things, why would you pose for a nice picture, all smiles and be so complimentary of her behind the
00:25:17.800
scenes as soon as the cameras, the TV cameras are off? Why would you do that? Well, Michael Eric Dyson,
00:25:23.720
who is on wife number three, decided to try to explain why he did that in an Instagram post,
00:25:33.320
which is frankly somewhat bizarre. Saw 12. I ain't tried to hit on this woman on no day. These are other
00:25:42.940
people that I interacted with recently, my friends, some of them, uh, my friend, Alison, uh, I said,
00:25:49.280
nice, you look gorgeous. Then there is my friend, Terry, who I was giving tickets to for the democratic
00:25:56.980
national convention. You look gorgeous as always. Then my colleague, Lisa at Vanderbilt. And I said,
00:26:05.080
me and miss gorgeous. And then councilwoman, Mary, uh, Sheffield, I said, gorgeous and brilliant leader,
00:26:16.040
uh, to Dana bash. Well, I congratulated her on the interview she did with Kamala Harris. Besides being
00:26:23.660
brilliant and courageous, you also look gorgeous. And then I put, um, uh, a power hand and a smiley,
00:26:33.200
uh, uh, a face with, with, with hearts. I ain't hitting on Nancy Mace. I often acknowledge
00:26:39.640
people's gorgeousness and men's too by everybody. So my point is that this is a woman trying to
00:26:46.720
exploit a situation. I have not dated white women. Not that that's a problem. And let me correct one
00:26:53.840
thing. I did say that night. I said, you're a wonderful woman. Let me correct myself. You are a
00:26:59.660
racist. You are a racially charged, um, small minded, bigoted person. I've told, I've read other
00:27:07.520
exchanges with people where I've called them gorgeous. And if you're that desperate that you
00:27:12.000
need a black man to holler at you, I'm not the one to do it. There are plenty on your side who can do
00:27:18.220
that, ma'am, but you've got the wrong brother in me. Once again, he plays the race card. And what
00:27:26.020
kind of a weird defense, I call every woman, not my wife, gorgeous and going through the long list
00:27:31.960
of the women. And I told her she's gorgeous and she's gorgeous and she's gorgeous. I have a little
00:27:37.460
piece of a free advice for you, Michael pro tip, stop telling women, not your wife, how gorgeous they
00:27:45.380
are. It tends to lead a woman to think you might be interested in her. It's a weird thing to say
00:27:51.540
that word in particular to a bunch of women who are not your wife. Honestly, like that's just weird.
00:27:59.160
If Nancy Mace were posing like with her husband and you said gorgeous couple, that's fine.
00:28:05.040
You're both gorgeous. I can get on board with that. Your gorgeousness and shh, don't tell anybody,
00:28:13.400
but we look good together. There are very few women on earth who would not perceive that as a,
00:28:19.160
come on. It goes back to intent. Michael, you may not have intended it as a, come on to Nancy Mace,
00:28:26.620
but that is how it was received. And therefore you're guilty. These are your rules. We're just
00:28:32.500
playing by them. So then this guy has the gall to go on the view, which quickly laundered the whole
00:28:42.100
situation into once again, he's the victim and it's racial watch.
00:28:49.560
So because we live in the crazy year of 2024, she then later accused you of sending her flirty
00:28:55.040
texts, which she entered into the congressional record. Can you clear this up for us, professor?
00:28:59.560
I'm a preacher. So I know sin, my own and others, right? Nobody's perfect. I'm a professor. I've seen
00:29:06.140
things evolve over space and time. What you could say 20 years ago, can't say today. Not because you're
00:29:11.460
suddenly wrong, but the temper of the times has changed. So if you acknowledge a woman's beauty,
00:29:16.380
that is a power imbalance, there's a problem there. But peer to peer, a different story. Still
00:29:21.480
cautious, but different. So when it comes to Nancy Mace, you see, I tried to be nice to the woman.
00:29:27.400
I said, you're a wonderful woman. I lied. I then said, but, but I tried to be nice to her. And then
00:29:35.120
even when I pointed out to her, what the repetition of the misnaming of Kamala Harris would do,
00:29:42.000
she got defensive. Oh, you're calling me a racist. No. And you never did. I was watching.
00:29:46.080
It never did. I think Shakespeare said the lady duff protests too much. So the point is
00:29:50.520
that, that this woman has now depended upon, like her inspiration, Donald Trump, a racist trope.
00:29:57.880
The black brute seeks the innocent white woman. And now I'll say one final thing to all of these
00:30:03.900
white Christians. And she's one of them. The Bible says, if my people who are called by my name
00:30:09.240
will humble themselves and pray and turn their face to God and turn away from their wicked ways,
00:30:15.640
then I will hear from heaven. And then I will forgive their sins and I will heal the land.
00:30:20.820
They have not forgiven themselves. White Christians hate themselves for the past wrongs that have been
00:30:27.200
done. And I'm here as a loving Christian to say, let's grapple with that past.
00:30:31.060
Oh my God. There's so much to go over. So the question is tossed to him, right? Like what
00:30:37.440
happened? Clear up what happened immediately. What does he do? He goes into religion. I'm a preacher.
00:30:42.920
I know sin, my own and others. Now, you know, you know, from Phil Houston's by the lie. One of the
00:30:48.240
things that liars do is invoke religion right away, right away. They invoke religion. It's a dodge.
00:30:55.440
It's an attempt to convince you they're a good person. The truth is not his ally. So he ran from
00:31:02.280
it. I mean, this is just classic, classic deception. He goes on, blah, blah, blah. I tried
00:31:07.980
to be nice to the woman. I said, you're a wonderful woman. I lied, but I tried to be nice. So he's on the
00:31:13.400
attack right now. He's got to attack her and goes on again. Then he tries to say, she said, oh,
00:31:19.960
you're calling me a racist. No. And Alyssa Farag Griffin chimes in and you never did. I was
00:31:25.940
watching. Well, it's true. He never uttered the words you are a racist, but he did say that her
00:31:33.460
refusal to pronounce Kamala's name correctly was part of a history and legacy of white disregard for
00:31:38.600
the humanity of black people. And when she said, you're basically calling me a racist, he said,
00:31:43.480
you don't have to intend racism to actually be doing it. That's calling someone racist, sir.
00:31:50.900
I don't blame Nancy Mace for receiving that message from you because that is what you were saying.
00:31:57.540
That is exactly what you were saying, that it's racist for her not to properly pronounce
00:32:03.380
Kamala's name. Then she goes into, and then he goes into this ridiculous. Okay. Now this woman,
00:32:11.900
just like her inspiration, Donald Trump, she uses a racist trope. The black brute seeks the innocent
00:32:21.620
white woman. And then you've got whoopee chiming in. That's right. Okay. She used racist trope to
00:32:28.500
attack me. The black brute seeks the innocent white woman. That's what he says she was doing by
00:32:35.660
releasing the text messages. You're just upset. You got caught. That's why you're upset. She wasn't
00:32:43.840
trying to make you look like a black brute seeking the innocent white woman. She was calling into
00:32:50.420
question your sincerity in suggesting she was a racist. If you really thought that you would not
00:32:57.780
be hitting on her in her DMS right after the show. And you know, professor at Vanderbilt,
00:33:04.540
that that's exactly what she was doing because you don't seem like a dumb man.
00:33:09.000
You once again, play the race card to excuse your own bad behavior. Maybe you do really text
00:33:18.100
10,000 women in a year about how gorgeous they are. That's a failing, sir. That's a failing.
00:33:25.300
And when it comes back to bite you in the ass, you should just say, I'm sorry. That's it.
00:33:31.880
You don't have to try to attack her again, once again, saying she's racist. And there wasn't one
00:33:38.380
sane person on the set of the view. I know you're shocked to actually speak honestly about what
00:33:47.440
happened and about what he did, how he attacked her. And then he came onto her and then he played
00:33:54.960
the race card and the victim, and then was allowed to repeat the cycle on the set of ABC news, which
00:34:01.800
is no longer in the news business. It is in the business of doing one thing, and that is getting
00:34:06.860
Kamala Harris elected and doing anything they can to make Trump or his supporters look bad.
00:34:12.800
Would love your feedback. Taking your emails, Megan at Megan Kelly.com. When we come back,
00:34:19.180

Now we're doing a feature we call Asked and Answered, where I answer your questions and address
00:35:31.640
your thoughts about the show or topics in the news. Anything you want, you can email me,
00:35:35.760
Megan, M-E-G-Y-N, at megankelly.com. Or you can just go to megankelly.com now and they'll prompt you
00:35:44.040
on how to sign up. Okay. I've got my executive producer, Steve Krakauer here, who's been going
00:35:48.940
through the mailbag, which I do read. Meg Storm runs our website and she pulls the emails for me and
00:35:56.180
collates them and puts them and I get them every week. So all those people saying, I know you don't
00:36:01.660
read this because we say, I do too. Yes, I do. I read as many of them as I can. And that's a lot.
00:36:08.420
I would say I read most of them. Steve, what do we have this week? Yeah, Megan, I read them. I read
00:36:13.720
them too. A lot of great emails. Keep them coming. Megan at megankelly.com. Love the comments, but also
00:36:18.340
questions. You know, we're going to be doing these questions now every week. So questions, we love those.
00:36:22.560
We'll try to answer them. And the first question comes from Lily, who wants to know, what does Trump
00:36:27.440
publicly saying? I hate Taylor Swift, as he did on Truth Social Achieve, except to make himself look
00:36:33.600
childish and petty. She says Trump needs to publicly say, despite how I feel about Taylor Swift, keep in
00:36:39.040
mind that voting for Kamala means you want to continue runaway inflation and increasing crime and open
00:36:43.860
borders. That's her prescription. What do you think? That doesn't sound like Donald Trump to me.
00:36:49.920
I thought it was perfectly on brand for Trump. And honestly, I know that it caused a lot of
00:36:55.500
consternation. It didn't bother me. I mean, as somebody who came out that night and said,
00:36:59.440
screw you, Taylor Swift. I was like, I'm not, I'm running a glass house here. I realize I'm not
00:37:04.260
running for president and he is, but I don't think that hurt him. I think he's trying to telegraph
00:37:10.200
to people. She's bad. You shouldn't like her either. And there may be some people who are like,
00:37:15.900
you know what? I'm kind of sick of her too. You know how it's like when one person says it,
00:37:19.500
then you're like, you know, I don't really like her either. And then one thing happens after another.
00:37:23.880
Look, there was just a poll out. What was it, Steve? Was it, uh, the CNN poll or the Quinnipiac?
00:37:29.660
Uh, Quinnipiac. Yeah. Yeah. Quinnipiac showed, uh, that Taylor Swift's endorsement hurt more than
00:37:39.080
helped Kamala Harris. More people are likely not to vote for her in the wake of the endorsement.
00:37:46.860
So you could argue it was actually smart of Trump to attack her and just telegraph to
00:37:52.940
the MAGA faithful or adjacent who hadn't heard about the endorsement that Taylor sucks. We don't
00:37:59.320
like Taylor. That's him like saying she's on the outs now. I don't, I just think so often, Steve,
00:38:05.280
people are quick to judge Trump's marketing brand and branding instincts. And that is the one area
00:38:13.100
where you really shouldn't question him. Yeah. Genius there. Absolutely. All right. Here's another one.
00:38:18.780
And this is from Maria. Uh, Maria wants to know, I'm a 32 year old right-leaning libertarian. She
00:38:23.440
says, my family and friends are split on politics. She said, I don't feel the need to push my agenda
00:38:27.500
as I'm pretty much middle of the road. But sometimes I hear people who are planning to vote
00:38:31.180
and I don't understand why that's happening, why they're voting a certain way. She says,
00:38:35.420
how would you approach conversations with them?
00:38:37.180
I mean, I like to ask questions, right? Like that's my job, but I also think it's a great way
00:38:44.160
of really finding out where somebody stands and really listen to the answers and ask follow-up
00:38:50.280
questions. And if you're not looking to change their worldview, you might be illuminated and more
00:38:55.720
forgiving of them. You know, I mean, I know a lot of my friends are like very, very, very pro-choice.
00:39:01.440
They are not going to vote for the Republicans period. Okay. I get it. I mean, I, I have a
00:39:08.560
different set of priorities, but that doesn't mean I think they're bad people for having their set.
00:39:14.340
And maybe it could cause a settlement of sorts between the two of you, or maybe it's an issue
00:39:19.560
on which you're really well-educated and you could gently ask questions that kind of probe, well,
00:39:25.640
you know, like take the trans issue. Do you know like what the, what the puberty blockers into
00:39:30.720
cross-sex hormones do? And I'm really worried about sterilizing minors who can't even get a
00:39:35.960
tattoo. You know, it's like, to me that seems, and you can say it in a way that's not confrontational.
00:39:40.800
It's not judgmental, right? It's just, you're just sticking to your own belief system if you feel
00:39:46.800
the need to get into it at all. But that's how I would do it. I think just the number one thing
00:39:51.320
though, is not to bring your judgment into it. If you genuinely want to just hear how they feel,
00:39:55.060
don't bring your judgment in. If you are trying to persuade all the more reasons to just keep
00:39:59.060
asking questions and gently start introducing the things that make you feel differently and hear
00:40:05.940
how they overcome them, if at all. But I mean, as a, as a rule, when I'm in my personal life and I'm
00:40:12.220
with people who are not of my political persuasion, I don't talk politics.
00:40:16.940
Right. Right. Yeah. And I have to say, we live in very messy and complicated times. I was at a wedding
00:40:22.020
over the weekend and my uncle is not a fan of many of the ways that the topics are covered on the show.
00:40:27.840
And yet he loves Nicole Shanahan. And so, and I said, Oh, Nicole's coming on next week. I was like,
00:40:31.580
Oh, that's great. Love her. Um, so that's so cool. There's, there's always some common ground
00:40:36.060
as, as Kamala Harris might say, there's a Venn diagram in which we overlap.
00:40:40.220
That's right. Nicole, right in the middle. Uh, okay. Uh, last one, something fun. This is from
00:40:44.680
Erin. She's a mom of three teens in Ontario. She says, thank you for your balanced and courageous
00:40:48.900
mama bear, like news coverage. But then she says, this may sound trite, but I would love to know
00:40:52.900
the shade and brand of your most frequent lip color. I get this question a lot. Okay. More often
00:41:00.840
than not, it is not a lipstick. It is a lip liner. It's my favorite lip liner. I wear it almost every
00:41:09.420
day. And then I'll either put just like some clear lip gloss or, you know, lip balm on over it. Not every
00:41:17.460
day, but a lot of days. And I have it here. It is made by Mac and it, the color is Dervish Dervish.
00:41:30.440
And I love it. It's neutral. It's like this kind of doesn't look neutral. I can, I don't know if you
00:41:35.460
can see that put it in front of my pasty skin so you can see it looks, maybe I'll put it like here.
00:41:39.580
Can you see? It might look not neutral, but it is kind of neutral. It's like slightly pink,
00:41:48.700
maybe a little mauve, but on your lips, it's pretty benign. And I like that because it'll kind
00:41:55.560
of go with anything. And, um, I like sort of coloring in the lips, you know, with it. I don't
00:42:01.440
just do it as a liner. I put on the liner and then I put a little bit in the middle and then I just do
00:42:05.520
the, you know, where you smack your lips together and then you just put on like your favorite lip
00:42:10.240
balm over it. Or if I'm feeling saucy, then I'll add, you know, an actual lip gloss over it. And
00:42:17.140
I've got a bunch of different ones. We can, we can get into the, the saucy days another time. I will
00:42:21.740
say I have one right here. This is not what I would put over. Like this is this one. I actually got it in
00:42:26.500
the Bahamas first and that now it's kind of hard to find, but it's by reunited, reunited. And I like
00:42:36.340
it cause it's, I wear this like sometimes when I have white on or like tan, cause it's this pretty
00:42:41.800
brown. I'll put it on now. You can see what it does. It's got a little sparkle. All right. For the
00:42:47.480
listening audience, I am putting it on and you can see it's got like a little, little sparkle. So if you're
00:42:53.540
like looking to call a little attention, maybe the eyes are kind of not as made up, you could get
00:42:58.760
away with that, but I really like that too. So those are my two makeup tips for today, but I'm
00:43:04.920
not getting any money for these endorsements. So, you know, they're real. Nice. Aaron will appreciate
00:43:12.220
that. Thank you. Yes. That's right. Enjoy Aaron. I'll see you at the Mac store. All right. All right.
00:43:19.240
So that's it, right? That's it for, that's our first edition of the mailbag. We're not going to do a
00:43:23.120
ton of them because we don't want to annoy you, but, um, we thought we'd pick some that might be
00:43:26.860
representative of like when we get a lot on one subject and those were, so you guys keep the emails
00:43:32.500
coming, the questions to Megan. It's spelled M E G Y N at Megan Kelly.com. All right. One last thing
00:43:40.060
before we go, it is time for another edition of you can't say that it's a franchise on the show that
00:43:45.180
we decided to bring back where we highlight something that you cannot say or do or think in
00:43:52.840
2024. Like you cannot say Kamala. You cannot say that. You can't say Kamala. Kamala is a hard no.
00:44:03.420
Okay. They, this is so important. They give us a full lesson at the DNC involving children and songs
00:44:08.680
and you just don't do it or you're going to wind up getting weird sex from Michael Eric Dyson. Okay.
00:44:15.700
That's not all though. Today we're actually looking at the case of Zach Bryan, the superstar country music
00:44:21.180
singer who made the enormous mistake. This is very dumb Zach of having a few too many drinks one night
00:44:27.080
getting on Twitter now known as X and letting the world know that he actually enjoys Kanye or yay
00:44:32.200
West's music more than Taylor Swift's nerve that sexist pig. Yes. The offending post was sent late
00:44:42.100
on Tuesday night, September 17th, when he praised his favorite football team, the Eagles and said that
00:44:48.300
they were greater than the Kansas city chiefs, the team. Taylor's boyfriend, Travis Kelsey plays for
00:44:54.140
and he followed that up with another equation in which he wrote Kanye. And then the greater than
00:45:01.160
symbol, you know, like the little carrot, Kanye greater than Taylor. Oh, M G. He followed that up
00:45:09.520
with who's with me. Well, Zach, the internet is not with you because you apparently are not allowed
00:45:16.120
to make negative comments about Taylor Swift. Well, guess what internet? We do it here all the time.
00:45:22.180
For those who are not familiar with the backstory, Taylor Swift and Kanye have been feuding for more
00:45:26.460
than 15 years. Uh, after the rapper crashed the stage as Swift accepted a VMA award in 2009. And he
00:45:34.060
said she shouldn't have won and Beyonce should have won. And that was rude, but some people are not over
00:45:38.760
it. There's been a whole back and forth between them. But the key factor to keep in mind is that
00:45:42.820
Kanye West wore a MAGA hat and has some more recent questionable views when it comes to Jews
00:45:48.820
and Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris because she is such a fan of Tim Walz's LGBTQ policy. She
00:45:56.980
loves to trans the children. That's Taylor. So how dare you, Zach? You're supposed to be on Taylor's
00:46:03.580
side. You're supposed to be on Kamala Harris's side. And if you're not, you should have the good
00:46:06.800
nature instincts to keep it to yourself. Well, Zach learned this lesson right away as the Swifties
00:46:13.100
came for him in short order. The next morning, the country singer tweeted, guys, I love Taylor and
00:46:19.500
followed up with, if anyone took it serious, please know I love both artists a lot and think we're in a
00:46:25.520
really beautiful time of music. Not good enough, Zach. The hate continued and he deactivated his
00:46:33.020
X account. Oh my God. I miss the real men. I'm sorry, Zach, but I miss real men.
00:46:40.260
But he did not deactivate in time. You see, before he did it, he issued a profuse apology
00:46:45.620
on his Instagram page, spread over four, count them, four lengthy Instagram stories.
00:46:53.820
Brian poured his heart out, apparently hoping to stop the Swifty mob from their hideous attacks.
00:47:00.360
Look at this one. I wasn't coming for Taylor the other night. I was drunkenly comparing two
00:47:05.780
records and it came out wrong. I know there's a lot of stuff that clouds around yay. And I was
00:47:11.080
speaking purely musically. I love Taylor's music and pray you guys know I'm human and tweet stupid
00:47:18.720
things often. Hope one day I can explain this to her. Twitter gets me in trouble too much. And I'd say
00:47:25.160
it's best I stay off of it. I'm sorry to any Taylor fans I pissed off or let down. Love you guys. And
00:47:32.500
I'm trying my best. Oh my God. I have secondhand embarrassment. Bring back our men. That wasn't it.
00:47:39.720
He wasn't done. He continued. It just came off as rude and desensitized to Taylor.
00:47:46.060
I respect her so much as a musician that the last thing I want is people thinking I don't
00:47:53.320
appreciate and love what she has done as a musician, he wrote before closing it out with
00:47:57.940
don't drink and tweet. Oh my God. I'm sorry, Zach Brian. Where are your balls? Mankind would like to
00:48:07.320
know. That's the lesson, Zach. Don't drink and tweet. Sure. Here's another. If you're thinking of
00:48:13.660
daring to say that you prefer someone else's, especially somebody who's endorsed Trump music
00:48:19.700
more than Taylor Swift's, well, you can't say that. Oh wait, this is America. Thanks for joining
00:48:27.480
me today and every day. Talk to you the next time. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show.
