Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show and happy Friday.

U.S. figure skater Alyssa Liu wins the Olympic gold in a comeback that no one saw coming.
00:01:26.340
The two people commentating were like, oh, she might just make the medal stand if she skates perfectly.
00:01:32.760
Meanwhile, she crushed, she crushed her performance.
00:01:40.020
It really made you want to put on ice skates and go out there and try a few of those moves.
00:01:44.200
Which, as we all know, for the rest of us mortals would end in tears.
00:01:58.840
Plus, Ryan Murphy is out with a new series on the, quote, love story between JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bissette Kennedy.
00:02:10.940
And new reporting from the Daily Mail reveals that Hoda Kotb wants her chair back at the Today Show.
00:02:18.980
MK Media's own Maureen Callahan will be with us for the full show to break down all the cattiness and more coming up.
00:02:26.400
But we have to start with a little bit of broccoli because there's been a major ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court this morning dealing a very serious blow to President Trump's sweeping tariffs, which have been integral to his entire presidency.
00:02:42.940
I mean, it's like the crux of his entire foreign policy, whether it comes to imposing them to raise more money and balance out trade imbalances or using them to threaten countries into becoming very quickly much more peaceful.
00:02:58.960
In a 6-3 decision, the high court saying he cannot use emergency law to impose global tariffs, ruling that that authority belongs to Congress, not to the president, and it has not clearly been delegated.
00:03:12.520
That's Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Barrett siding with the libs.
00:03:19.340
The ruling carrying major implications, as I say, for the entire Trump agenda.
00:03:24.400
Here to break it down with us, we're going to spend 10 minutes on this so that we can understand it clearly and what it means for our lives, is legal expert Will Chamberlain.
00:03:41.820
And you cannot afford to wait for help when you need it.
00:03:45.660
Sure, you could use a firearm, but in today's America, defending yourself with deadly force could have legal consequences.
00:03:51.860
According to FBI data, 99.9% of all altercations do not require lethal force.
00:03:57.240
And that's exactly why so many are turning to Burna.
00:04:00.360
Burna is proudly American, hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:04:04.000
These less lethal self-defense launchers are trusted by hundreds of government agencies, law enforcement departments, and private security companies.
00:04:11.820
Over 600,000 Burna pistols have been sold, most to private citizens who refuse to be victims.
00:04:18.780
Burna launchers fire rock-hard kinetic rounds and powerful tear gas and pepper projectiles, capable of stopping a threat from up to 60 feet away.

00:04:50.780
They ruled 6-3 that the president cannot use the International Economic Emergency Powers Act to impose tariffs.
00:05:00.760
And they didn't even agree on the reasoning, right?
00:05:02.780
You had three justices, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Barrett, using the major questions doctrine, which is basically saying that for a major delegation of congressional power, there needs to be a very explicit delegation of that power.
00:05:20.240
The three liberals just said the statute doesn't authorize the tariffs.
00:05:24.220
And then Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas disagree with all that, saying pretty straightforward that the statute actually does authorize these tariffs, but they were the losing side.
00:05:31.320
So all these tariffs issued under this – imposed under this particular statute are unlawful.
00:05:42.480
I mean, it's a big number that have been issued so far.
00:05:46.140
So what does this mean for all the tariffs that Trump has implemented in the first year of his presidency?
00:05:52.120
Well, it's about two-thirds of the tariffs were imposed under this specific statute.
00:05:56.460
I think the number I saw was something like $175 billion.
00:06:00.160
Everybody who paid a tariff is probably entitled to a refund.
00:06:03.020
And the Supreme Court didn't really lay out the process here other than to strongly suggest that all this would go to the United States Court of International Trade.
00:06:11.100
But all the refund litigation, everything that happens there, that's to be decided later.
00:06:16.680
All the Supreme Court decided was that these tariffs were unlawful in the first instance.
00:06:21.440
So are we going to get sued by other countries?
00:06:23.920
Is that who's going to sue us, saying, I want a refund of all the tariffs I paid to the United States?
00:06:27.920
No, it's going to be the actual people who paid the tariffs.
00:06:30.960
And remember, that's United States citizens and importers.
00:06:34.100
So when you import something from a foreign country, you, the importer, are responsible for paying the tariff.
00:06:42.060
So that's who ultimately will pay the tariff here.
00:06:46.160
I mean, I guess it's theoretically possible some foreign entity might make an argument that they were damaged by these tariffs because they sold fewer of the product than they would have otherwise.
00:06:54.600
And maybe they'll have some claim against the United States for that.
00:06:57.740
I think that the people will the people who actually have a legitimate claim are the people who paid these tariffs and then are entitled to refunds.
00:07:04.640
To me, this seems like the biggest losers will be our poor lawyers at the Department of Justice who are already stretched too thin, who now are going to have to litigate all these claims on who deserves a tariff and who doesn't.
00:07:18.580
But Trump is going to try to argue that he has the ability still under different statutes to levy tariffs.
00:07:27.000
Will it help him with any of these back tariffs that he's already issued under the statute they've said he can't use?
00:07:32.400
I don't think that'll help backfill anything here.
00:07:38.700
And they weren't imposed under the other authorities.
00:07:40.760
And, I mean, there's a reason he used the emergency statute.
00:07:44.240
It provides – there are a lot fewer hoops in terms of imposing some sort of tariff or bar on imports using the IEPA.
00:07:55.880
I mean, there are product-specific authorities that he has that allow him to, like, bar imports of specific – or tariff imports of steel, for instance, or cars.
00:08:05.240
And there are also nation-specific authorities that he has outside of the IEPA that he could do – that he already has used on China, for example.
00:08:17.220
He just cannot do the sweeping scheme that he's been doing where he's been using them as a carrot and a stick to do a whole bunch of things, including stop fentanyl from crossing into our borders, just stop countries like India and Pakistan from having a war, and to write the trade imbalance that he walked into, that he inherited when he became president.
00:08:41.760
So, on a go-forward basis, he does have some possible tariff schemes he can impose.
00:08:51.420
So, what would you say is the net effect of this on the Trump agenda?
00:08:58.020
It's a bad ruling for the Trump administration.
00:08:59.940
It's really bad for the country because it – I mean, the tariffs are a key part of the president's arsenal in negotiating with foreign countries.
00:09:07.160
And if foreign countries know that Trump is a little more handcuffed in how he can impose tariffs, then there will be more reluctant to make concessions in trade negotiations.
00:09:17.540
I think Justice Kavanaugh had the best of the argument here.
00:09:19.880
I thought Congress clearly delegated this authority to the president, and it makes sense that they would because tariffs are so interwoven with our economic negotiations with foreign countries that it's – you want the president to have the flexibility to be – and the credibility to be able to impose tariffs when he needs to.
00:09:36.820
So, yeah, I think this was a bad ruling from the Supreme Court, and it's going to hurt the president.
00:09:43.780
No, but it's going to hurt the president, and it's going to hurt the country.
00:09:47.500
We had good old Alito and Thomas siding with the conservative POV, and Justice Kavanaugh, who's been more moderate, saying, yep, I'm with these guys.
00:09:58.820
And then you had Gorsuch, and you had Amy Coney Barrett going with John Roberts to side with the three libs on this.
00:10:06.780
I will say, what do you make of this Gorsuch quote?
00:10:10.060
I don't love a huge, hugely powerful executive because I'm always thinking about who's coming next, right?
00:10:15.960
I certainly don't want to see a hugely powerful Gavin Newsom or AOC or Gretchen Whitmer.
00:10:24.620
A ruling for him here, meaning the president, the president acknowledges, would afford future presidents the same latitude he asserts for himself.
00:10:33.300
So another president might impose tariffs on gas-powered automobiles to respond to climate change, or really on virtually any imports for any, quote, emergency any president might perceive.
00:10:46.580
And all of these emergency declarations would be unreviewable.
00:10:50.680
Just ask yourself, what president would willingly give up that kind of power?
00:10:57.440
He reels you in with comments like that that make you think about AOC and my gas-powered car.
00:11:06.980
I mean, like, that if we allowed the president to have this kind of tariff power to himself, that it was basically a slippery slope where it was going to get expanded to micromanage our lives by a more aggressive Dem president next?
00:11:20.920
I mean, possibly, but the president's always checked by political accountability, right?
00:11:27.680
And if Congress doesn't like the extent to which the president is using the power granted to him, they can always change the statute.
00:11:34.000
I mean, the fact that Congress has basically exceeded – I'm not sure if they exceeded is the right word.
00:11:38.040
I know there's been some fighting over these tariffs.
00:11:40.000
But, you know, I mean, again, Congress has the ability to write this as own laws.
00:11:46.540
So I kind of find Gorsuch's sort of reassurance is, you know, unimpressive, I guess would be the right word.
00:11:58.000
I thought Kavanaugh had the better interpretation of the statute.
00:12:02.300
And so, you know, obviously, yes, the president should only be able to exercise the authority given to him by Congress.
00:12:08.200
The real question at dispute was how much authority did they give him?
00:12:12.640
So if we don't like that amount of power, take it up with the U.S. Congress if you believe this statute did, in fact, delegate the power to issue these tariffs to the president.
00:12:32.220
I mean, if you watch the oral argument – and I know the DOJ was expecting a loss here.
00:12:38.820
The president's unhappy, but I think he's got some other tricks up his sleeve, so we'll have to wait and see.
00:12:43.880
Will Chamberlain, thanks for coming on so quickly and giving us the quick 411.
00:12:50.600
Up next, Maureen Callahan is here for the full show, and we have a lot to go over.
00:12:55.120
She's got a lot of thoughts on the reboot of America's Next Top Model.
00:12:58.580
That could be coming, but there's this huge Netflix show out about Tyra Banks and that show.
00:13:05.180
She's got thoughts that – plus, we're going to get into the Olympics.
00:13:11.200
Plus, she's got thoughts on the JFK Jr. story about Carolyn Bissette.
00:13:15.140
You know, she wrote the book on the Kennedys two summers ago.
00:13:21.440
If you're stressed out about getting out of debt, it's go time.
00:13:25.600

As we told you, the Daily Mail is reporting that Hoda Kotb wants her chair back at the
00:15:28.940
No big surprise, given the long history of cattiness both on and off the screen and the
00:15:33.480
fact that, as Maureen and yours truly have been reporting, she never wanted to go to begin
00:15:41.700
And also, what does former Prince Andrew's arrest mean for Harry and Meghan?
00:15:45.460
She's already out there trying to pimp her ride.

00:16:07.920
Well, I dressed up for you because I don't normally look nice.
00:16:24.740
Can't feel like such a ragamuffin all the time, every day.
00:16:28.500
I mean, from the waist down, I always have my stretchy pants on.
00:16:34.700
I love the, in this weather, the Uniqlo heat tech legging, which just wraps you up and keeps
00:16:43.520
Now, the good thing about the tighter legging is that I've noticed one drawback to the aloe
00:16:48.760
pants is you don't realize how, like if you've gained a few, it's imperceptible.
00:17:01.140
I didn't used to be a sucker for sweets, but Doug buys ice cream galore.
00:17:05.660
He, and he buys the most delicious flavors of Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
00:17:09.280
And if it's sitting there in the freezer after dinner, it's very hard to say no to it.
00:17:14.680
You can resist, you can eat ice cream in the winter?
00:17:20.480
The only ice thing I can do in the winter is iced coffee, which I do love.
00:17:25.740
I love popcorn, but I'm also like a salty person.
00:17:28.560
I'll have like a few cashews or, but I try to avoid the, you know, the sweets in the
00:17:35.060
Well, I just said for Lent, I'm going to give up added sugar.
00:17:39.440
I'm like, okay, we're both going to give up added sugar.
00:17:47.800
So yeah, no, I do eat and I do sometimes get extra weight in the aloe pants.
00:17:57.740
My sister-in-law has always given up like her favorite thing for Lent.
00:18:03.740
And then, and the, but then the flip side of that is it's the same thing you just experienced.
00:18:12.360
You know, this, I was going to save this till later, but I might as well bring it up.
00:18:17.120
I saw an article in the Daily Mail this week about her and her amazing ripped body and
00:18:25.220
And it went through, I actually just did a screen grab.
00:18:27.500
I didn't even tell you we're going to discuss this, but, uh, it, it, it talked about like
00:18:37.800
Now remember like seven years ago, six years ago, when she had that big blow up with ABC
00:18:44.360
about Michael Strahan and she was like playing hard ball and she was mad that like, I can't
00:18:50.340
remember what she was mad about, but she was mad about the switcheroo on the coat on the
00:18:56.880
And he didn't tell her because he couldn't tell her.
00:19:02.900
Well, in order to keep her there at that time, they raised her $25 million a year salary
00:19:17.720
They have this enormous townhouse in New York city.
00:19:25.420
And that's just one of their many homes that these two are.
00:19:27.620
Then she gets her husband a job as her co-host and God only knows what he's making.
00:19:31.580
I'm sure he's making at least $5 million a year.
00:19:35.700
She gets into that show like an hour before she has to do it.
00:19:39.660
So she can sit and get hair and makeup and get a wardrobe thrown on her.
00:19:43.220
She does that show, which doesn't require two brain cells.
00:19:46.080
You just have to sit there, playfully laugh and talk about your social life.
00:19:50.260
And then she has the rest of her day with hundreds of millions of dollars to play with.
00:19:58.960
Of course she has an incredibly toned physique.
00:20:05.660
According to her trainer of over 14 years, Anna Kaiser, the TV personality works out six
00:20:11.420
days of the week for 45 minutes, no matter where she is.
00:20:15.220
Quote, even when she travels, she'll do the workouts virtually if she needs to.
00:20:20.780
Everyone knows that is her hour morning or evening.
00:20:26.920
Kaiser describes her workouts as interval based with a focus on strength.
00:20:31.680
Then I add elements of cardio dance and power to elevate and make the strength training more
00:20:37.840
The trainer explained to the publication and on it goes.
00:20:40.820
I mean, I just think Maureen, like the average person out there gets up early.
00:20:46.540
They try to get their school, their kids off to school on time.
00:20:48.820
It's like, get your backpack, get your shoes, get your workout gear, get the lunch, the money,
00:20:56.920
You're lucky if you get them to school on time, you come back, deal with the shrapnel
00:21:00.940
of the morning, which has been left all over the kitchen and the family room.
00:21:04.680
Then you try to get yourself together looking somewhat decent for the day.
00:21:09.220
You either go off to work an eight or nine hour day where you don't really have a lot
00:21:13.860
You actually have agenda items you have to turn in.
00:21:18.620
Or if you're a stay-at-home mom, you have a shit ton of other stuff to do.
00:21:23.600
You know, you got to do the laundry, which takes hours and hours.
00:21:30.100
And you don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to throw away on trainers six days
00:21:34.960
a week who the Daily Mail has a picture of her.
00:21:38.060
No, it was from her Instagram, I think of the trainer, like with a, with a, like a, a
00:21:44.960
And she's like running against it, like an oxen, you know, against the, the, the plow.
00:21:52.160
I'm sure this is just how you work out too, isn't it?
00:22:01.380
This would require a lot more than just carving out a mere 45 minutes and being super committed
00:22:08.600
Did you ever do physique 57 or ballet bar class in the city?
00:22:12.760
I remember it was big when I was living in New York.
00:22:18.040
Um, it was near the post office and she was in a class with me one day.
00:22:34.360
And Jennifer Aniston is a prime offender in this area too, because she's always like
00:22:38.560
these, it's in her home gym with like the Pilates equipment alone is like $10,000 at least.
00:22:45.620
And then you have to have a trainer to use that stuff properly.
00:22:51.960
But, um, these people also have private nutritionists and chefs because that's really where it comes.
00:23:02.060
That's a nice add on for longevity, health span, whatever.
00:23:06.740
And it's having somebody who can like measure all the food and weigh all the food and keep
00:23:15.300
And also the laser procedures all over their body.
00:23:19.860
I know that they, there's a report that that Morpheus laser, which is supposed to hurt like
00:23:24.360
a mofo that Jennifer Lopez has one in her home.
00:23:29.120
So, but like, she's constantly being featured as like, this is what 56 looks like.
00:23:36.040
It's not like you go to the dermatologist, you can, you can get anything lasered off.
00:23:43.720
You know, all the sun damage women typically get here.
00:23:51.180
It's beginning to, you know, it's, so it's such bullshit.
00:23:54.240
That thing about her having a Morpheus laser is so amazing.
00:23:57.380
Can you imagine what that costs to have that in your home?
00:24:00.960
I talk to my derm all the time about like, so she just opened a new office in Aspen and
00:24:05.160
she's like, yeah, like I had to, I bought X number of lasers.
00:24:08.600
Most derms won't invest in X number of lasers because they're that expensive.
00:24:14.020
This is why I tell the audience, this is what I do.
00:24:19.880
And they will do it on the chest and it will get rid of a lot of sun damage.
00:24:24.140
You can get it on the back of your hands if you want and get it on your face.
00:24:32.000
You sit with the numbing cream for about 50 minutes, 5-0.
00:24:36.560
And then honestly, that Fraxel doesn't hurt at all.
00:24:38.960
Then when you're done, you look a little sunburned for a day.
00:24:45.040
But like, you know, like if I'm going to be on the air, but I usually try not to schedule
00:24:48.240
it when I'm going to be on the air the next day.
00:24:51.380
And I'm telling you, it is a game changer for your skin.
00:24:54.680
But I just hate the, you're like, sure, it's just your 45 minutes a day.
00:24:58.680
And also just the presumption that like, that's such an easy thing that anybody can do.
00:25:03.800
It's not that easy to find that time every day.
00:25:06.880
But it is if you have hundreds of millions of bucks.
00:25:10.560
And you know, I was talking to somebody about this the other day.
00:25:13.860
Like, I used to work out almost like every day.
00:25:16.820
And since launching the nerve, I haven't had time.
00:25:24.120
Because why don't, why can't I carve out 45 minutes, you know?
00:25:28.680
It sounds so easy, but it's not before you know it.
00:25:34.560
And like, can you imagine, like, where are you and I going to go to meet our trainer with
00:25:44.080
I don't want to leave the house in zero degrees.
00:25:49.460
It's funny because when we were away in the warmth this past weekend, my daughter, she's
00:25:53.600
14 and I, we were doing, in another life, in another body, I used to teach aerobics.
00:25:59.880
So we were doing an abs routine together and we're like, let's keep, let's keep it.
00:26:03.120
We're going to do it every day, you know, between now and like spring break.
00:26:10.320
It's like, if you have a full life, it actually is very challenging to work in just the absolute
00:26:17.740
It's just annoying because even today with like the Maha and like the, everybody's all
00:26:24.300
And I just, sometimes you really just want to kind of say, shut the fuck up.
00:26:31.100
And you know what actually did make me feel a little bit better?
00:26:33.220
Cause so many of these people are selling stuff that is unattainable and really impossible.
00:26:41.140
Like they're selling the goal, but never really attaining the goal.
00:26:44.480
Finding out that Peter Atiyah was in the Epstein files, emailing Epstein.
00:26:48.820
You feel like, okay, there's a lot of fraudulence here.
00:26:52.980
Well, I forgive Peter Atiyah because he outed himself as having been a hot mess earlier in
00:27:00.280
So I think, I don't think it was about Epstein, but I think there was an implicit, like, I
00:27:05.760
used to be a very fucked up person and it's been, well, I mean.
00:27:12.520
And what I forgot about, cause I think I blacked it out.
00:27:20.920
He talks about his wife having delivered their newborn son who was in the NICU fighting
00:27:29.160
She was begging him, will you come and stay in the hospital with me?
00:27:35.060
What he left out of that introduction was that he was over at Epstein's mansion partying.
00:27:42.600
I feel like it's not great, but it's between them.
00:27:46.680
Like, I don't, it's not just about a bad marriage or like a problematic marriage.
00:27:51.180
It's about fealty to one's son and one's baby and one's fatherly responsibility.
00:27:57.220
Your baby is fighting for his life as a newborn and you're over at Epstein who's abusing children.
00:28:08.000
I'm not, I can't make an excuse for it because I love Peter Atiyah and I, and he's been so
00:28:12.100
And I really, I think he can recover from this.
00:28:14.900
I think he should do like one interview or one podcast where he just explains this.
00:28:19.660
And I think people will be quick to forgive him because he's literally trying to help
00:28:23.320
Like, it's like, he's not the greatest messenger on like how to behave morally, but he does
00:28:28.820
know how to behave in order to extend your life.
00:28:32.240
I think one interview or one podcast on his own where he says it was worse than I disclosed
00:28:39.520
If I'm going to, I disagree, but here's what I would advise as perhaps a mea culpa in the
00:28:48.500
Lower your fees and treat some people who don't have money.
00:28:52.240
Stop charging or you keep your clients who pay you $200,000 a year for like a couple
00:28:57.120
of exams and, you know, some free advice on email, not free, you're paying for it, but
00:29:01.560
maybe go into an inner city and set up a little medical tent.
00:29:13.980
They should all these outlived or longevity guys should do something like that.
00:29:18.840
They do charge hundreds of thousands of dollars and no normal human can afford one-tenth of
00:29:23.360
You know, I saw on 60 Minutes years ago when they were actually doing real journalism.
00:29:26.580
There are these, I don't know if they're military ships or they're private ones that like charities
00:29:32.240
I'll pay for, but like twice a year, like some of the best medical professionals, specialists
00:29:37.820
in any field, whether it's ear specialists or phlebotomists, whatever, will go into the
00:29:47.020
most underserved, underprivileged communities and treat people who could never seek that
00:29:55.540
Even like these plastic surgeons who are like, I go down into like Haiti and I fixed
00:30:03.840
I'm sure there are actually a lot of Americans who are suffering or kids who have some deformity
00:30:29.340
You're shocked, shocked to learn she wants back on the Today Show, I know.
00:30:40.420
Our producer Marlena got up really early yesterday with our new hire, Lauren, and they went to
00:30:51.980
And then Marlena got next to Hoda and then flipped open at the nerve.
00:31:08.600
The security guard said, oh, you're really excited to meet Hoda, huh?
00:31:22.440
I don't know that she's going to be back on the Today Show next week in that chair.
00:31:27.840
Well, I mean, the report is that she wants back on at least.
00:31:32.040
But Maureen, she wanted to be at home with her children.
00:31:34.820
Megan, she couldn't give you their names, their social security numbers, their latest
00:31:43.940
We did this thing with, we have this body language expert who comes on who I love.
00:31:49.100
And we picked for him Hoda's first day in the chair.
00:31:54.400
And Hoda, literally, like, Savannah's mother's been missing for like a week at this point.
00:32:04.600
She's like, she's like chomping at the bit to get going as like the new co-host of Today.
00:32:12.340
Don't jump out of the chair and don't smile too widely because this is a tragedy.
00:32:17.300
I wrongly left because they wouldn't pay my salary demands, claiming I just wanted to
00:32:25.200
This is all according to reports, unconfirmed directly, but believable.
00:32:32.060
I've spent the past year plus trying to get back on the Today Show at every turn, no matter
00:32:43.740
Yes, which the most recent interview has 1,800 views.
00:33:00.300
And if it so happens that I should have to stay, I will make that sacrifice for the team.
00:33:08.480
And she, in that same first day back, Craig Melvin is sitting next to her and he is most
00:33:18.580
And she's going, he's like, well, welcome back, Hoda.
00:33:26.460
And she goes, you know, Craig, I'm very happy to be here.
00:33:40.900
So you don't have to even say that shit if it's true.
00:33:43.720
Do you run around with your family members going, hey, you know what?
00:33:48.760
Or like, even when you're here, like the reason we can talk like this, Maureen, is because
00:34:03.000
And it's, I've been telling the audience, these are lies.
00:34:11.140
They're constantly stabbing each other in the back.
00:34:20.240
And actually, my team pulled some examples of this.
00:34:23.620
I think they said it's in, is it in ascending order?
00:34:28.360
Let's take a look at what they've put together.
00:34:30.320
We're going to watch thought one, which is Jenna and Savannah.
00:34:37.200
We got, well, actually, now that I'm remembering this, we got married.
00:34:46.280
No, we were friends, but it was a small wedding.
00:34:55.400
Listen, if we were married today, we would be each other's wives.
00:35:04.140
There's still some bitterness there about the fact that Jenna wasn't invited to Savannah's wedding.
00:35:09.380
It's a little awkward to keep bringing it up on the air.
00:35:13.560
I'm having a little bit of a, all of this dark energy, I think, is getting to me.
00:35:19.000
Do you want one of my Luden's watermelon cough drops?
00:35:25.480
Those got me through a couple, I don't know, months ago.
00:35:27.980
You guys remember when I was sick after Thanksgiving?
00:35:30.760
But like to sit there and be like broadcasting to the world, you didn't invite me to your wedding?
00:35:37.060
Savannah was married like 10 years ago or more.
00:36:06.000
Number one, where are you right now in your life?
00:36:30.860
And you could tell Savannah, like she wasn't even disguising her contempt for this.
00:36:36.140
As it is, she has to get up at 4 a.m. for that car ride.
00:36:39.860
And she says at one point, this is an ungodly hour and normally Joy is in scarce supply here.
00:36:46.700
And she's also saying, like, you're in full hair and makeup.
00:36:53.100
Well, and the reports are that Savannah did not want Hoda to be anywhere near the first
00:36:59.840
hour of the Today Show because Savannah considers herself like a serious journalist and she considers Hoda the one who used to booze it up with Kathy Lee in the 10 o'clock hour.
00:37:10.280
So it's like, why would she be added in and that she reportedly fought to keep her off of that hour and make it more about Savannah and Willie Geist.
00:37:18.420
But Willie Geist is very boring and no one wants to watch him.
00:37:26.640
They use him over on Morning Joe and I'm like, this is such a mismatch.
00:37:30.560
You can't put him on Morning Joe where he's as partisan as they are and then have him flit over to the Today Show and ask Today Show viewers, some of whom are right-leaning, to accept him in this neutral role.
00:38:16.960
And it's all about micro weddings, small weddings, tiny weddings.
00:38:21.840
They're growing in popularity because I think people don't want to spend a ton of money on
00:38:26.180
the party and then afterwards with the bills and whatnot.
00:38:28.960
I mean, if you look back, like, think about who was at your first wedding.
00:38:35.860
But when you think about it, weren't there some people that you were, I mean, for me.
00:38:43.300
Although I think my parents had a micro wedding and my dad has a big family.
00:38:59.020
Would you like to have a small wedding or a large wedding one day?
00:39:09.140
You know, Jenna hates Hoda and Hoda hates Jenna.
00:39:15.680
And I recently just watched, because we just did a piece on this, you know how Anna Wintour
00:39:26.600
It's like, Anna's like, I just want, I'm going to get out of the frame.
00:39:34.500
The new one's kind of earnest and saying, like, what she's worried about.
00:39:37.600
And Anna Wintour is, like, glaring at her, like, you're a twit.
00:39:42.920
Also supremely, like, a supremely unglamorous twit.
00:39:48.120
And so then Chloe went over by herself, like a big girl, to today to be interviewed by Jenna
00:39:56.960
And Jenna goes, you know, we have something in common.
00:40:03.060
So we're looking at two complete charisma vacuums colliding.
00:40:08.500
Wait, who's the, what, is she a Nepo baby, the girl taking over for Anna Wintour?
00:40:14.620
And her father is the famed, he's dead now, French Oscar-winning director Louis Mal, who
00:40:20.580
you would know, your child, a similar vintage, he directed Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby when
00:40:33.640
But, you know, maybe it explains why Chloe's such a dud.
00:40:42.720
You know, you're always wondering what's going on underneath those sunglasses.
00:40:45.560
I feel like with a fashion editor of that magnitude, you need a big personality and you need a big look
00:40:53.360
You know, like, you think of, like, the Diana Vreeland's of the world.
00:40:57.180
You and I look better than she looked in that little interview.
00:41:00.680
Oh, I think it would be a much bigger success, actually.
00:41:04.860
We would know who to profile and we certainly wouldn't begin a profile of Gavin Newsom with
00:41:09.240
the nonsense that they just did, which sounded like a fawning teenager spending time with
00:41:18.680
His hairline and, God, what were some of the adjectives?
00:41:24.260
We both agreed he will not get that treatment when he sits with Vogue.
00:41:30.360
Or his wife, they'll never get to sit with Vogue.
00:41:37.540
So Vogue's supposed to love that, but not when you're married to J.D.
00:41:42.180
So the wife of the new mayor of New York City, Mom Domi, who has just distinguished himself
00:41:48.320
by racking up like 20 deaths in the most recent snowstorm.
00:41:54.380
It actually makes me think, it makes me wonder, do people of that ilk who adhere to this belief
00:42:05.460
Are these people really considered expendable in that way?
00:42:12.700
In the same way, the tolerant left is the most intolerant group in America.
00:42:17.280
Name me a conservative who has canceled a friendship over politics.
00:42:23.780
It is the left that cancels the right, that decides you're too far gone.
00:42:28.320
You're beyond the pale because you vote Republican, because you're a Trump supporter.
00:42:37.220
And the friend of mine who told me will not, I don't think, be upset by this.
00:42:41.460
I found out that someone on the outer ring of my social circle, who I thought was always
00:42:46.680
sort of pleasant to my face, said to this person we both know, how can you be friends
00:43:00.380
I guess, I don't know, because of where I work or because I come on your show or I work for you.
00:43:07.780
But I just laughed out loud when I heard it because clearly I think this person really
00:43:17.400
But it's so fun when you realize how dumb certain people, you know, who have been in your life
00:43:26.300
I would never hold a friend's politics against her.
00:43:33.940
Um, if you, if you want to ask me about my thoughts on politics or whatever, that's,
00:43:38.360
I'll tell you, obviously, I do that for a living and I'll listen to yours too.
00:43:42.540
I'm not offended by somebody else being a liberal or voting for Kamala.
00:43:45.800
You know, it's not something I would do, but I'm not offended by it.
00:43:54.480
Um, have you been following the Nancy Guthrie, Nancy, Vinay Ramsey?
00:44:06.240
I mean, two weeks ago he was saying like, we've got it solved.
00:44:10.300
Well, he did say, he said, I think some good things are about to happen.
00:44:13.300
And that was the day before Kash Patel released that video.
00:44:17.740
If I'm being honest, he said it on a Friday night and Kash Patel released the stuff on a
00:44:22.360
And there were reports that the FBI had just found it like that day or on Monday and they
00:44:27.960
So I, to this moment, I don't totally know if that's what Trump was talking about.
00:44:33.480
I feel like they probably did have it and he knew, or maybe they at least stumbled upon
00:44:37.040
it at Google and they had told the president that's plausible to me because if Trump doesn't,
00:44:41.080
he actually doesn't, unlike what the left says about him, run out there and say shit
00:44:45.320
Um, but now that's why I'm more bummed about his current messaging, which does not sound
00:44:54.840
I think the last time too, it was by, uh, Peter Doocy about like, what do you think on
00:45:00.380
And this is where Trump went with it, uh, yesterday.
00:45:04.080
What do you, based on what you've been told, what do you think happened to Savannah Guthrie's
00:45:13.340
I didn't like when they were talking about the going after the pacemaker and the, and
00:45:18.140
you know, before they even started going after it, they're coming and reporting it.
00:45:21.400
So if in fact they could do it that way, the person would say, well, I'm not going to let
00:45:27.380
So bad things would happen if he didn't, not going to let that happen.
00:45:33.360
And just in terms of strategy, just one little piece.
00:45:36.200
I don't know, but we have to start reporting on other subjects also and see what happens.
00:45:47.300
Doesn't sound like a man who just got good news from Kash Patel about where the investigation
00:45:51.360
I've been thinking about this a lot because, um, I've really loathed this sheriff since
00:45:58.140
And I just wish there were, I don't know what the mechanism would be to just remove him
00:46:02.560
and the sheriff's office and just let the FBI run a point on this and contain the messaging
00:46:08.720
because he's no longer giving pressers, but any outlet that asks, he will talk to you.
00:46:14.740
And I was listening to your show this morning about the amount of times he like weeps.
00:46:23.460
And there's like this weird inversion of like his level of competence.
00:46:29.380
Like he doesn't, he, he won't realize how incompetent he truly is and his love of media
00:46:36.660
And anybody who had an iota of self-awareness would know, well, I'm, I'm in way over my head
00:46:43.320
I should let the FBI deal with this messaging because Trump just said something really smart
00:46:49.660
They said, we're now looking for the pacemaker.
00:46:52.180
So whoever did this is going to go retrieve that pacemaker and destroy that pacemaker.
00:47:01.660
But is it, is there, is it possible that the pacemaker still emits even if the person
00:47:15.080
It just won't be communicating with the iPhone because it, unless the iPhone's within 30 feet
00:47:22.140
And if you get close enough, you can potentially detect it.
00:47:24.900
But his point is a good one, which basically, why do we know this?
00:47:28.100
If we're trying to like find someone who's in the custody, we presume of a bad man, right?
00:47:41.120
You know, I feel so terrible for Savannah Guthrie and her family because I remember
00:47:46.580
when my dad died, I didn't want to go over to stay with him until first responders got
00:47:57.360
But I went and met my brother at the funeral home.
00:48:00.920
And I remember the first question I said to the funeral director was, where is he?
00:48:06.140
I never thought I would think that way about someone I loved who was dead.
00:48:11.720
They came and they took him away and they brought him to the funeral home.
00:48:18.040
And it was only, that was a key thing I needed to hear so that I could begin really grieving
00:48:24.780
And I, I fundamentally understood in my bones in that moment, why the families of the missing
00:48:31.760
and the dead spend their entire lives trying to find the remains.
00:48:39.120
And it's sad because like the news cycle around the story is drying up clearly because the police
00:48:45.300
are either running out of leads or have finally decided to stop sharing them.
00:48:49.340
And when that happens, the media does disappear.
00:48:54.500
And when the media disappears, so does the pressure on the police.
00:48:57.960
There, there will not, there will no longer be 400 law enforcement officers on this case
00:49:05.040
And so for all this, like this, once again, this local congresswoman, she's a, a, an Arizona
00:49:10.560
state representative who continues every day to shame the media for covering this case.
00:49:15.180
She's very mad at the influencers who say whatever they want.
00:49:21.980
Thanks for being here and calling attention to the Nancy Guthrie case.
00:49:26.380
Thanks to all those influencers you're shitting on.
00:49:31.160
Like it's, it's not because NBC does one report a day on the today show on Nancy Guthrie
00:49:36.720
and their ratings are a shadow of what they used to be.
00:49:42.060
It's the collective that's making her a ubiquitous household name.
00:49:47.020
And what we don't need is to shame the media who is now feeling like, do they even want
00:49:54.860
Like when there's no longer any reason to, and they're not getting daily news updates,
00:50:02.660
And the other thing that's so key about this is the more, the, the outlets that regard themselves
00:50:08.360
as more august and above this kind of reportage, you know, the New York times, et cetera, the
00:50:15.780
I don't think they're covering it as assiduously anymore is why is the media so obsessed?
00:50:20.520
You know, they turn it into a meta story and they remove the actual heart of the story,
00:50:24.500
which is that a woman who is the mother of a very famous person in America was abducted
00:50:33.060
And instead it's like, what, what's wrong in the American psyche?
00:50:36.660
What's wrong with all the little minds out there?
00:50:43.000
That's the next thing is they only do this for a privileged white lady who lives in Tucson.
00:50:50.340
It's like, let me tell you right now that I don't know if Hoda's mom is still alive,
00:50:53.620
but if Hoda copies mom, God forbid, something like this happened to her, they'd cover it just
00:50:59.880
So I was talking to Rob Shooter the other day and he had this amazing report that Don
00:51:09.280
No, but he wants people to want, excuse me, he wants people to want his mother so that he
00:51:21.300
And I did worry that she might be a little worried.
00:51:23.660
And she found out that we were going to be taking a look at her.
00:51:32.480
She wants like, it's like, ha ha, people want to get me, but they don't.
00:51:43.760

00:53:11.780
It has, I think, equal appeal as does The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:53:20.560
Because I think the Today Show is obviously just going for women.
00:53:24.160
A lot of the Manosphere podcasts, they just want men.
00:53:27.340
It's hard to find an audience that's almost equal.
00:53:34.580
My favorite emails come from men who make sure to identify themselves as super straight.
00:53:47.860
He was like, yeah, like I'm in the shop all the time.
00:53:49.780
I used to catch a ton of shit for listening to your show.
00:53:52.160
And then one day I was like, you got to come over here and hear what The Nerve is saying
00:53:59.260
Well, it's funny you should mention her because I do have something queued up for you.
00:54:04.700
And because she doesn't really like publicity, she sat courtside with Harry and had to nudge
00:54:15.180
We've actually gone so far as to slow it down to slow-mo so that we can be sure we zero in.
00:54:47.300
If you're not looking, then they're not looking at me.
00:54:52.740
This is what Mark Bowden calls trophy behavior.
00:54:56.020
So in doing this, Megan is showing off her trophy.
00:55:00.440
And she's trying to animate the trophy to make sure that we're communicating that the trophy
00:55:11.380
And then when you slow it down and you look at the minute he looks straight at the camera,
00:55:16.220
it's a micropause, but his eyes look like he could kill.
00:55:20.760
He looks, he doesn't want to be there and he doesn't want to be engaging with the media
00:55:28.340
that they ran away from, running for their lives.
00:55:37.120
And the other thing is you go, those seats are very coveted, even among celebrities.
00:55:47.180
Like you got, like we see it in New York City at the Knicks games all the time.
00:55:50.540
Like Spike Lee is like practically like a fixture there, has been forever.
00:55:54.340
Even the most recalcitrant, cranky celebs who sit, like play.
00:56:00.400
So do you think that was like, um, whoever does the seating for those games, effing with
00:56:10.960
She's higher than you and she's more well-liked than you.
00:56:17.480
And then the other thing I thought was interesting about that game was the Obamas were there.
00:56:22.300
And it seemed to me like, oh, this, is this the night where like high profile couples
00:56:26.440
who have divorce rumblings swirling all around them go to show the world that like everything's
00:56:42.280
You know, so like I can, I have, I go to Knicks games with my family.
00:56:46.100
I took my young guy, my 12 year old, just the two of us.
00:56:57.840
I didn't do that because I was going to watch a basketball game with my child.
00:57:02.480
I wasn't going for a photo op, which clearly she was.
00:57:09.140
And she, this bitch is still, they're in court right now suing the Daily Mail in the UK about
00:57:15.060
like yet another piece of coverage that they thought was unfair to poor, mean, Harry and
00:57:18.800
Meghan, you know, like poor, mean Daily Mail going after these, these poor, you know, losers
00:57:25.120
He was on the stand, by the way, in that courtroom crying, like weeping or trying to weep on the
00:57:33.540
stand about the misery that the media has caused his wife.
00:57:38.560
And the judge in the case had to remonstrate him several times and say, excuse me, sir, this is a courtroom.
00:57:47.960
Pull yourself together and speak to the matter at hand.
00:57:59.920
If you put yourself out into the public sphere as a public figure, you know, in any prominent
00:58:06.360
way, there's a number of ways that you can become a public figure and, and be out there.
00:58:10.760
You have to accept that this is part of the deal.
00:58:16.080
I mean, as I was, I was laughing, Abby and I were looking at this recently and I'm like,
00:58:20.280
in the past few years, I've been called a, a racist, um, a transphobe, a bigot, um, an
00:58:28.380
Islamophobe, um, a pro pedophile, uh, now it's anti-Semite.
00:58:37.080
And you really do have to know who you are, you know, to be able to handle this.
00:58:40.860
And I think that's part of the problem with this woman.
00:58:45.660
She's playing a role and she has been from the start, especially with Harry.
00:58:49.500
So she can't take the negative coverage, which is why they continue suing and suing and suing.
00:58:54.940
And even in that court proceeding, he was talking about how like my wife was treated abominably
00:59:05.960
You only started to get upset when she started to behave badly.
00:59:12.120
The thing about Megan, to your point about not knowing who she is.
00:59:16.560
So like all the things you were just describing are unpleasant, but I'm sure they don't land
00:59:23.900
I'm sure it's like Elizabeth Taylor once said about Joan Rivers, doesn't hit me where I
00:59:29.920
I think her problem is she thought that this level of fame and a power marriage like this
00:59:37.300
would fill the hole, but nothing's going to fill that hole.
00:59:41.640
It's an unfilled, it's a black hole because it's a, it's a black hole of identity inside.
00:59:47.680
And it, and interestingly in her case, it doesn't have to do, I don't think she has like man
00:59:56.260
Like the women who have man issues have dads who were not around or who left their moms
01:00:06.020
They don't know how to like demand good treatment.
01:00:11.800
Her thing is I need to be built up into something I'm not.
01:00:21.220
And so she's got to land the prince and she's got to have the right cover of the right magazine.
01:00:27.400
She's got to be called Duchess even when she's the only one in the house, Maureen.
01:00:36.960
Like all of it has to be curated to perfection or we're all going to see behind the veil.
01:00:41.360
That she's just like the rest of us, imperfect as hell, but relatively fine.
01:00:46.040
Well, you know, there are parallels here with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who I think we're
01:00:49.960
But one of the things about Meghan also that is such a tell for me is that whenever she's
01:00:54.360
interacting with another person who's not really, it's not Harry, but it'll be somebody
01:01:00.880
else, whether it's a friend, an employee, a handler, whatever, she does this thing constantly
01:01:10.500
I was picturing that in my mind while you were winding up.
01:01:16.680
And then it goes somewhere on like the back or the shoulder or the arm where the other
01:01:20.280
person can't even get to it to be like, get off, get off, you know?
01:01:22.960
Oh, she does it in this video, Canadian Debbie tells me.
01:01:29.920
And then she gets to the red carpet or the blue carpet, you'll see.
01:01:32.960
And this handler is attempting to arrange this completely unruly, dated, old person's train.
01:01:43.860
Like she can't even, like no decent stylist will work with her.
01:01:50.900
And look at her like flaunting the, look at all of my train.
01:01:58.320
This is apparently also another gala she invited herself to.
01:02:03.920
She wasn't among the honorees or the distinguished guests.
01:02:19.380
Not for nothing, but back to that sheriff out in the Tucson, Nancy, Benet Ramsey case.
01:02:30.780
Melissa Francis, you know, she's a friend of mine from Fox News and she's, she was, she's
01:02:38.920
She and Jason Bateman played the Ingalls' second round of children when the originals grew up.
01:02:50.080
And she could cry on a dime like nobody's business.
01:02:57.420
I don't think Melissa would care if I read this, but we were texting about it this morning
01:03:01.180
She had watched the sheriff's segment and she, she liked it.
01:03:03.840
And she was saying, she said, love the comments on the crying investigator.
01:03:11.140
And her, her son tried to like pretend cry over not getting something when he was young.
01:03:20.680
I'm not, but it's very hard to believe you when there's no water.
01:03:23.980
She says, it's very hard to truly cry without water.
01:03:28.980
She said, this is why my daughter's going to be a star.
01:03:31.940
She's like, she goes, do you make crying face and crying voice?
01:03:36.040
That's easy, but does water fall out of your eyes onto your cheeks?
01:03:42.360
And she says, I have not seen liquid with that man.
01:03:50.160
And what I have read is the acting trick to being a convincing crier is that when people
01:03:57.960
are about to cry almost every moment, like you're trying not to, especially if you're
01:04:03.440
in public, like you can see the face, try to suppress everything and push it back.
01:04:08.300
And actually the act of doing that kind of makes you cry more because you're beginning
01:04:13.880
Oh, and God forbid somebody feel bad for you in that moment.
01:04:50.180
But in any event, yeah, some of us have that tell.
01:04:59.500
But Claire Dunphy, she's got, she's got one of those tales where whenever she talks about
01:05:05.120
somebody dying, she, she bursts out into like a weird smile.
01:05:13.000
Sometimes when I'm talking about very dark news, like I'll have a compunction to smile
01:05:18.920
or even like laugh, it must be in the brain located right next to cry or like emote, you
01:05:27.680
know, and so, and like the signal gets crossed.
01:05:34.480
I was too young to be at a wake, but that's the Irish for you.
01:05:40.120
And so it was my first time seeing a dead body and experiencing like this very, to a
01:05:48.400
And I remember having a laughing fit at the wake, like, and I couldn't stop it.
01:05:52.900
And I, I felt terrible and I knew it was wrong, but it was like this involuntary physiological
01:05:58.460
And when we got back, like, I remember my parents just defending me and I love them
01:06:03.780
And they were like, she's a child and this is a lot.
01:06:06.160
And death is, is, is an enormous concept for a small child.
01:06:10.220
Of course she had this weird reaction, you know, not everybody's going to cry and do
01:06:15.100
I actually remember what caused the, the, uh, the laughing fit.
01:06:18.800
It was because we had these distinct cousins who were, um, not very attractive, who upon seeing
01:06:26.420
my very handsome, uh, teenage male relatives come in, made a beeline for them.
01:06:36.000
You were the same, even at eight years old, you were onto them.
01:06:42.080
Now, speaking of eight year old girls, let's talk about Prince Andrew.
01:06:48.360
Um, he, that, that whole thing yesterday with him getting arrested is crazy.
01:06:54.020
Did you see the picture of him when he got out of the pokey yesterday?
01:07:08.160
That looks like something like he posed for in order to make himself look like it's worth,
01:07:18.880
The headline is now he's sweating because among other lies, he told that BBC interview,
01:07:24.360
er, seven years ago was that he, Virginia Dufresne, his accuser said that she was sweating all
01:07:33.240
Let's, let's, let's watch him talk about how he can't sweat.
01:07:40.160
And she described dancing with you and you profusely sweating and that she went on to
01:07:49.040
There's a slight problem with, with, with, with, with the sweating, um, because, uh, I have
01:07:56.480
a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don't sweat, um, or I didn't sweat at the
01:08:02.940
And that was, oh, actually, yes, I didn't sweat at the time because I, um, had suffered what
01:08:10.700
I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands war when I was shot at.
01:08:15.820
Uh, and I simply, it, it was, it was, it was almost impossible for me to, to, to sweat.
01:08:21.540
And it's only because I have done a number of things in the recent past that I'm starting
01:08:29.480
So I'm afraid to say that, that, that, that there's a medical condition that says that
01:08:33.320
Oh my God, Maureen, you forget how bad that was.
01:08:51.580
It's not, I have a condition based on my adrenaline.
01:08:58.900
You've interviewed your fair share of combat veterans.
01:09:03.760
No, I know the free solo guy lost adrenaline and now he has to go free soloing in order
01:09:11.780
From the sound of it, Prince Andrew feels excitement just fine.
01:09:15.580
And then at the end of yesterday, there were even more disturbing photos that broke.
01:09:22.680
And this is now, this is how, you know, it's really bad because we can look at an image
01:09:26.100
of Andrew seated on a sofa next to a toddler and our minds go to the absolute worst place.
01:09:33.000
And I, I don't think King Charles is going to survive this.
01:09:41.420
They, they not only are, you know, a very famous British journalist.
01:09:45.060
Well, Dan's an Aussie, but he's been living in Great Britain.
01:09:52.560
Like they have very good sources inside and neither one thinks that King Charles is going
01:10:01.360
I think that the official line will be, it's due to his health.
01:10:07.100
And, um, William will ascend to the throne, which is what the British people want.
01:10:15.040
And, uh, he will begin to clean house and save the monarchy because without, if King,
01:10:21.100
if the King does not abdicate, I think the monarchy is in existential danger of, of, of
01:10:26.860
Because Dan was pointing out that King, King Charles, when he was Prince Charles, his fingerprints
01:10:30.520
were all over that Epstein settlement that this, that the Queen signed off on to make Virginia
01:10:35.960
Though I have to say this, I actually believe, like, I do believe that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked
01:10:47.720
I actually do believe her allegations against him.
01:10:52.600
And the picture, he lied that the picture was fake and the picture turned out to be real.
01:11:00.020
Now in the Epstein documents, you see an email from a New York Times reporter saying to Jeffrey,
01:11:03.740
who was worried about his own reputation because of his association with Andrew, saying,
01:11:14.920
And Andrew didn't write back like, no, they didn't have sex.
01:11:21.260
So, but having said all that, Virginia Jufre is like an enormous liar.
01:11:30.000
I went back and did a deep, deep dive on this when she accused Dershowitz and she wound up
01:11:34.640
getting rid of that case by saying she may have misremembered in her accusation against
01:11:39.460
Meanwhile, Alan was like, look at every date book.
01:11:53.780
Like he said, what a truth teller, as, as Phil Houston says in spy, the lie truth tellers
01:12:01.060
They're not afraid to say like, I've had sex with this number of people.
01:12:05.100
And then when I got married and nobody ever, ever after they, they'll like, I'll go right
01:12:11.880
So it's just hard because I don't know what he's being brought down for allegedly for passing
01:12:18.660
Or is it really because they couldn't quite nail him down on the sex trafficking stuff?
01:12:23.020
Well, you know, I find that the, the, the formal charge is the first one.
01:12:27.060
And, you know, they rated, I believe three of, of palaces and residences that he, uh,
01:12:32.880
has been in and that Fergie has been in the Virginia Jufres stuff.
01:12:37.760
I struggle with because the girls and women that wind up getting trafficked and brought
01:12:45.660
That's the reason they're chosen with drugs and alcohol and all manner of torture.
01:12:49.800
And, you know, memory is a fungible fallible thing, you know?
01:12:53.820
And the, I, I would, I would put her testimony about Andrew well above anything Andrew tried
01:13:03.880
We covered, um, so I was doing a bunch of research about this yesterday and there was
01:13:08.940
an FBI file from 2020 that's in this Andrew dump that claims, and this is very, very, very
01:13:15.520
dark stuff that, um, Andrew witnessed the torture of a young girl age six to eight who, um, was
01:13:25.180
strapped to a table and, uh, tortured with electrical shocks.
01:13:29.260
And that Ghislaine Maxwell was the one who administered them.
01:13:33.720
Is that that FBI thing that like anybody could say anything that they released?
01:13:47.000
I, I, I am open to believing it and I'll tell you why.
01:13:50.940
These people, someone like Andrew, who is just an aimless, shiftless layabout, who's
01:13:57.420
a beta royal, who has nothing to do, who can get any, any sort of pleasure he wants.
01:14:03.460
At a certain point, your dopamine receptors, it doesn't matter.
01:14:07.740
You know, he could have sex with eight women at once.
01:14:11.560
That's what happens to people who get addicted to porn.
01:14:13.380
Well, that's what, that, that was always my first question when, before I really began
01:14:17.180
to get into this kind of research about Harvey Weinstein.
01:14:20.480
Well, Harvey Weinstein had an enormous amount of power.
01:14:27.660
And it was a male friend of mine who said to me at a certain point, your dopamine receptors,
01:14:32.240
great guy, not like this, the dopamine receptors, it just doesn't matter anymore.
01:14:37.940
You need, you need, it has to be about power and control.
01:14:40.320
I think that's a factor with Harvey, but the other factor is something happened to him
01:14:45.760
when he was young that made him need to feel dirty.
01:14:55.460
That's why I, Lauren Savon, who worked with me at Fox, who came on my NBC show and was the
01:15:01.720
very first person to go on the record about Harvey, like on television, telling the story.
01:15:06.560
She told the story about how they were at Cipriani in New York.
01:15:17.440
And she met him, you know, was there this before he was exposed and all that, so to speak.
01:15:22.860
He followed her into this corridor leading to the ladies room.
01:15:26.500
And he starts, he's like, hey, Lauren, she kind of turns around and he starts talking
01:15:29.640
to her and he whips it out and starts playing with himself.
01:15:37.380
Like, and he jerked off into a potted plant right there in the hallway.
01:15:41.080
And I talked to a psychiatrist about this on the show, you know, at the time, like, who
01:15:50.220
Like, he needs to feel like he's a disgusting pervert in order to get off.
01:15:57.580
No, I'm just, I'm absorbing it all because the other thing that I remember, the potted
01:16:05.060
Like, they could have had the potted plant testify, you know what I mean?
01:16:12.300
Like, Harvey's dirty expectations out of there.
01:16:16.880
But the other thing about Harvey that so many of the women testified to, and which was a
01:16:22.640
puzzle piece for me, is that apparently his genitalia is very small and malformed.
01:16:28.600
And so, you know, do you think like a beautiful woman, like a Georgina Chapman, is really in
01:16:37.660
I'm truly like one of the most beautiful people roaming the earth.
01:16:45.800
Well, speaking of her, I started the show, we did a deep dive on Epstein on, was it Tuesday
01:16:51.360
And I said, look, you got to distinguish between a gold digger and a sex trafficking
01:16:57.580
And the difference is fraud, force, or coercion.
01:17:03.500
That exists in a sex trafficking case and not in a gold digging case.
01:17:07.540
Georgina Chapman, in my view, is a gold digger.
01:17:09.620
Like, there's zero reason for somebody like that.
01:17:12.180
I don't believe she was attracted to Harvey Weinstein.
01:17:16.860
She married him because he was this huge, powerful guy with tons of money who could create opportunities
01:17:22.040
And because he could give her a certain lifestyle.
01:17:27.360
And in the Epstein case, each person has to be evaluated.
01:17:31.360
We're never going to get this chance because he's dead.
01:17:33.540
But like, there could be gold diggers in this massive field of alleged victims who were like,
01:17:39.040
they fully knew what they were getting themselves into and just wanted the access.
01:17:43.040
I got to give it up to a couple of random stranger friends of Jeffrey's.
01:17:46.540
And in exchange for that, he's going to introduce me to some powerful people who might
01:17:52.080
And then there's the other younger damage set who were made promises by Jeffrey of like,
01:17:57.940
you're going to have this, you're going to have the other thing.
01:17:59.740
And possibly threatened by Jeffrey if they didn't go through with it in an ongoing way
01:18:05.220
Now you're talking possible fraud, force, or coercion, sex trafficking.
01:18:10.440
And I think in the middle of that Venn diagram is someone like Cassie from the Dini trial.
01:18:20.540
But at the end of the day, for me, the scales of justice, I look at the video of Sean Combs
01:18:26.040
beating the shit out of her and she's a victim.
01:18:29.080
That's why it was so amazing that jury didn't think fraud, force, or coercion was present
01:18:39.360
Third party's testifying that he beat the shit out of her in the back room to make her
01:18:44.640
But because she had said once she consented earlier in the relationship or even at the beginning
01:18:53.820
They saw her in the gold digger category and that's why he wasn't convicted of sex trafficking.
01:19:07.020
Back on weather, because he's, you know, it's like the, everybody said it's more like the
01:19:10.460
They're getting him on the taxes, not on the actual other crimes alleged.
01:19:14.000
Why would King Charles have offered him up on a silver platter?
01:19:17.720
Which he clearly did making that statement, like in stripping him of his prince title,
01:19:35.860
And so do many of the current and former staff at Buckingham Palace.
01:19:40.040
Who let Ghislaine Maxwell, I can't believe I have to freaking think about how to pronounce
01:19:49.160
Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey into Buckingham Palace to sit on literal thrones and photograph
01:19:57.340
It makes me think of the JFK White House and all of the Secret Service who were disgusted,
01:20:02.280
but they had to do it because it was their job, bringing all these women and girls in
01:20:10.320
And Charles knows that the monarchy itself is at a level of threat it's never faced before.
01:20:17.140
Because if they start really digging, and so that's the real question I have, how far
01:20:25.360
Do they go to a certain point and make a deal and let Andrew get away with a certain amount
01:20:31.200
Dan was saying they don't really do deals over there.
01:20:34.860
Dan was saying it's the general practice is like you're convicted or you're not.
01:20:40.980
Like you could plead guilty at the beginning, but like he said, it's not really like our
01:20:45.560
I've never looked into it as a solicitor or a barrister, but we'll have to see whether
01:20:50.040
that's a real option for him, like a possible deal.
01:20:53.780
I guarantee you Charles was told something earlier on this year about what's in his files or what's
01:20:59.980
going to come out or possibly like dark practices that he may have engaged in this speculation
01:21:04.900
and said, we're cutting him loose because nothing had really changed at that point.
01:21:10.420
Like all the juicy Epstein stuff is coming out right now.
01:21:16.800
But what frustrates me is if only we had a King William at that point who would have
01:21:23.480
just kicked him all the way out, all the way out.
01:21:27.320
He's still living on like the royal properties.
01:21:28.680
Royal residences, which makes me think, you know, Charles is worried too that Andrew's going
01:21:35.060
You know, my brother paid a million dollars to the Geoffrey settlement fund.
01:21:46.180
All right, let's keep going because you mentioned Kennedy, which brings me to love story.
01:22:01.020
I know you've got a lot of problems with this, but the guy playing JFK Jr. is so far annoying me.
01:22:07.360
I don't think he's attractive enough, even though he's a male model.
01:22:10.500
I think JFK Jr. is actually significantly better looking than this guy.
01:22:13.640
So I think they, if you're just going to go for the pure model, you should go, you should
01:22:18.700
The gal, last name Pigeon, I think the same about her.
01:22:22.900
She's a beautiful woman, but Carolyn Bissette had a very distinctive look.
01:22:31.320
I'm only like half an hour into the first episode.
01:22:33.840
But you literally wrote the book on the Kennedys.
01:22:39.520
If you really want to know what happened in the Kennedy family, read Maureen's book.
01:22:49.840
I did watch this with his cousin, Anthony Radswell.
01:23:12.560
Here's JFK Jr., the fake JFK Jr., at the gym with his cousin, Anthony.
01:23:22.440
America's uncrowned prince is facing 30 with a steady girlfriend, fabulous looks, even a
01:23:34.040
If it makes you feel any better, anyone who knows you knows that you don't have a steady
01:23:40.360
I can't show my face around the city with these headlines everywhere.
01:23:50.060
Also, I'm an actual prince with a title and everything.
01:24:01.940
The first is I hate clunky expository dialogue.
01:24:09.100
Like, you have to communicate to the audience that these two are cousins in a much more artful
01:24:15.980
Like, you've got to be more sophisticated about it.
01:24:19.960
He is also, you know, he's the guy with cancer that Carol Radziwill married to get close to
01:24:26.300
JFK, in my opinion, get close to JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bissette, who I believe she was
01:24:31.340
I think Carol was really in love with Carolyn Bissette.
01:24:36.560
Secondly, if they wanted to go with real verisimilitude, JFK Jr. used to walk around the gym fully
01:24:54.240
So he was, like, teasing all the men at the gym.
01:25:05.140
I think that JFK Jr., you know, he chose to live in New York City, and he spent every
01:25:27.520
With a great name, and he looked like a movie star, and I agree with you completely.
01:25:31.820
The thing about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, the real things, they had that factor.
01:25:40.060
You know, and, like, you can put as many hair extensions in Sarah Pidgeon as you want.
01:25:46.120
Because the real people were so unstable, so damaged, so messy, so obsessed with presenting
01:25:56.520
Perfect, I think, to cover up all that mess inside.
01:26:11.260
I mean, he was a very handsome guy, but there was something going on there.
01:26:16.880
Maybe it was his death wish, as you document and ask not.
01:26:19.000
But, like, there was something fascinating about him.
01:26:22.460
As you looked at him, as you listened to him talk, maybe it's just that he was the, you
01:26:29.420
This model, he's an attractive man by any measure.
01:26:35.400
And I think if you're going to play JFK Jr., you have to have the it factor.
01:26:40.340
However damaged she was, maybe that's part of it.
01:26:44.500
They're not, you're not like, as you see him on stage, you know, which you should be.
01:26:49.980
Even if they're not as attractive, and they don't, they're not exact replicas.
01:26:57.360
You know those people who walk into a room and you feel the energy shift.
01:27:01.020
Like, the energy goes to, like, everybody knows somebody of import or whatever has entered
01:27:07.340
The one thing I will say about this guy's characterization, which I am enjoying, is I think, A, he's gotten
01:27:14.020
And I think that was a really hard voice to get down because there was no personality in it.
01:27:18.060
Like, it had just been scrubbed of any real, like, affect or weirdness or idiosyncrasy.
01:27:26.580
And I also, I don't know whether he's been directed this way.
01:27:30.900
I know Sarah Pidgeon had a movement coach to play Carolyn Bessette.
01:27:33.840
So, I'm guessing he had a movement coach to play JFK Jr., who was all about his physicality.
01:27:39.140
But he's kind of playing him like this big, dumb puppy.
01:27:42.120
Like, he's always, like, taking his, this is true.
01:27:45.120
He, like, never understood why his bicycles were always getting stolen.
01:28:04.660
Ryan Murphy is a dark, in my opinion, I think he's a dark, dark guy.
01:28:08.600
I don't know if you noticed the title sequence.
01:28:20.660
Okay, so look at the way they're moving together, right?
01:28:25.720
And they're moving so slowly, it looks to me like they're moving in water.
01:28:38.520
First of all, there's a darkness in the culture that is like that right there to me is emblematic
01:28:43.420
There is this fascination with an elevation of like death and like the more macabre, the
01:28:56.180
Like Ryan Murphy is telling a version of this story that is soapy and glossy.
01:29:01.100
And as someone who lived, you know, as a young person in downtown New York in the 90s, they're
01:29:08.240
That vibe, that feel, like that last pre-internet moment.
01:29:17.720
And people went out to restaurants and bars and clubs.
01:29:26.920
And, but the real story is so much stranger and weird and darker.
01:29:34.560
And the way he treated her in the beginning was like, he just treated her like any other
01:29:41.260
woman off the assembly line who wanted to be with him.
01:29:43.920
There was nothing that really, you know, he was, he was still with Daryl Hannah and keeping
01:29:51.680
And she would find out that they were back together by opening up the paper like everybody
01:29:56.580
Can you imagine you've been with this guy and he's led you to believe that like you have
01:29:59.700
a real future and you open up page six to see him with his movie star girlfriend?
01:30:03.420
No, I, um, I laughed at the, we failed the bar exam the second time I've told the story
01:30:09.120
before, but, um, he, he passed it on the third time.
01:30:11.780
And if he didn't pass it, he was going to get fired from his job in the New York DA's
01:30:15.720
And he passed it by going to Albany law school where I attended.
01:30:20.580
And he took his review class there because Albany law school has a very high percentage pass
01:30:25.440
It's a great law school, smaller and not as well known as others, but it is a great law
01:30:29.880
school, especially if you want to practice in the Northeast or in New York.
01:30:32.200
And so he went there and my mother was like, this is your chance.
01:30:42.340
You get in there and you try to make nice with JFK Jr.
01:30:52.960
And even if he had, he would have had zero interest in me because I did not look like
01:31:00.820
Well, when he died, I think my mom was relieved, but he had a tumultuous life.
01:31:07.820
Ask not really walks you through how he had a death wish, this guy.
01:31:11.380
And instead this seems to be yet another Ryan Murphy.
01:31:16.080
I actually have a wonder, like, I wonder, I'm not going to say Taylor Sheridan is a misogynist,
01:31:21.440
Every woman he writes is very unlikable, irascible, and like deeply problematic.
01:31:26.720
I wonder about these very famous Hollywood writers who write women as just like the least
01:31:34.580
You know, I don't know, but Ryan Murphy, I definitely suspect has got a serious problem
01:31:38.580
with women because he seems to be blaming, you've pointed this out before, the plane crash
01:31:43.920
on Carolyn's tardiness to showing up to the plane that day.
01:31:49.980
I think that Ryan Murphy is, there is a specific kind of gay man that is very dangerous.
01:31:56.320
They are truly misogynists, but they use their sexuality as a way of sidling up to women and
01:32:03.580
Look, I know what it's like to be like a marginalized person in the world.
01:32:09.740
I agree with you that Taylor, I think Taylor Sheridan is a misogynist.
01:32:13.520
I watched the bulk of Yellowstone and there was a scene in there where he had the strongest
01:32:19.280
female character, brutally assaulted and nearly gang raped.
01:32:33.480
Who's like having these conversations about sex with her father?
01:32:36.520
And the wife, you know, his ex-wife, they're back together.
01:32:40.180
But like, there's something about the way he's writing these women.
01:32:47.540
So I don't know what he's going to do with her.
01:32:52.100
And I like that he's pushing back on oil narratives in this show, among other narratives.
01:32:55.260
But like, it is not great to have all women in your series portrayed like complete fuck-ups.
01:33:02.240
Like, you do need a couple of strong, great female role models, I think, in your movies.
01:33:09.540
I mean, in defense of Taylor, his male characters are also pretty shitty.
01:33:18.100
You know, in that whole scene with Beth Dutton, too, where it was like, well, is the guy who plays the boyfriend?
01:33:23.240
Rip, is Rip going to get to her on time and, like, you know, throw all these guys through windows?
01:33:27.260
I had a similar reckoning with David Chase and The Sopranos.
01:33:31.840
Okay, so do you remember the episode where Melfi gets raped?
01:33:39.980
I watched the entire series, but I would not watch that episode.
01:33:42.920
And then I was watching the documentary on Chase.
01:33:44.780
This is the Tony Soprano psychiatrist, female psychiatrist, played by Lorraine Bracco.
01:33:48.280
Lorraine Bracco, very tough New York woman, like a tough, glamorous New York woman.
01:33:51.680
And in the documentary, she said to David Chase, she got that script, and she said, why are you doing this to her?
01:34:01.080
And she said he explained it to her, and then she understood.
01:34:03.640
But that was the first time I watched that scene in the context of that documentary.
01:34:11.640
And he is enjoying taking the one woman in this series who is an intellectual and an independent woman and violating her like this.
01:34:19.680
And violating the actress who plays her like this.
01:34:21.860
And it's Rage at the Mother, whole other thing.
01:34:32.460
They dropped the first three episodes, and then now one comes out per week.
01:34:35.720
I find it very watchable, which is different than Do I Think It's Good.
01:34:39.200
I know you don't think they're portraying Jackie O correctly.
01:34:53.380
Do you want to see when she speaks to JFK Jr., only one of us knows what it's like to marry into the family?
01:34:58.460
Or do you want to see the one where she's drinking alone in her living room?
01:35:04.660
Before you drift to sleep upon your cot, she's in a living room.
01:35:11.300
She's, like, hugging herself and kind of dancing.
01:35:13.340
Think back on all the tales that you remember of Carmel.
01:35:31.660
She's picking up a JFK portrait and dancing with it.
01:35:34.500
There was a fleeting wisp of glory called Camelot.
01:35:46.600
Once there was a spot for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.
01:36:07.660
It's like a miniature replica of JFK's official White House portrait.
01:36:15.040
So at this point in the series, Jackie is dying of cancer, like a very aggressive cancer.
01:36:27.820
Of course, you bend down and pick up, like, a 40-foot portrait and start dancing with it.
01:36:58.160
People loved it when she dragged across the ice with her knee down.
01:37:24.160
You know, ice skating is really one of my favorite things to watch in the Olympics.
01:37:28.060
I haven't been able to watch as much this year.
01:37:29.920
I would imagine, though, the physical, like, how difficult it must be to skate on your knees.
01:37:35.840
Like, the potential damage you could do, that could be a career ender.
01:37:38.820
And she got a bigger cheer for that than she got for, like, she did a quad.
01:37:49.120
He fled here, I think, at age 25 after Tiananmen Square.
01:37:52.360
And he, then he had Alyssa through a surrogate.
01:38:03.260
And then he had Alyssa and her brother and sister, I think it is, and raised them out in San Francisco.
01:38:07.940
When she became a star ice skater, she went to the Olympics when she was 16 in China, in Beijing.
01:38:16.460
And she went, I think, four years earlier when she was just 12.
01:38:19.780
I can't remember where the Olympics were that year.
01:38:25.280
But they kept trying to, like, recruit her, the Chinese.
01:38:29.860
And the State Department, at the dad's request, had to put two full-time guards with her when she went over to Beijing.
01:38:35.200
So the Chinese have been eyeballing her because they wanted to make her into an Eileen Gu, you know, who skates for China.
01:38:43.680
Not America, given the fact that her dad was Chinese.
01:38:54.520
And Eileen went for it and is making millions of dollars thanks to her Chinese affiliation.
01:39:00.380
And she's winning medals for the Chinese now, even though she's American.
01:39:09.220
They resisted all those gazillion-dollar endorsement deals they could have gotten if they'd signed with the Chinese because they'll throw money at you.
01:39:16.800
And the dad said, there's a reason I moved to the United States of America.
01:39:20.140
And she went out there, and they talked about how she retired.
01:39:23.900
She retired right after the Beijing Olympics, when she was 16.
01:39:26.920
And then two years after that, when she was 18, she tried skiing.
01:39:32.220
And she had so much fun skiing down the ski mountain.
01:39:38.120
And she thought, what if I could have this feeling out on the ice doing the thing that I used to be really good at?
01:39:48.680
She went back out there, and she tested to see if she could still do a double axel.
01:39:56.240
And she was like, there might be a way back for me where I can do this sport my way.
01:40:08.320
And she wore her hair the way she wanted with the crazy stripes.
01:40:11.660
And she had the lip piercing that makes it look like she's got little little things on the two front teeth.
01:40:17.840
And she got out there, and she chose the—who sings that song?
01:40:23.220
She chose one of our more fun pop anthems here, not some stiff operatic thing that puts you to sleep.
01:40:37.340
I'm not done with Alyssa, but I do have to take a quick break.
01:40:40.100
We're going to come back on the opposite side and finish our discussion of the Olympics.
01:40:44.840
Feeling sluggish, bloated, not quite like yourself?
01:40:48.360
Life constantly bombards us with silent threats, processed foods, artificial light, nonstop stress,
01:40:54.080
all of which can disrupt gut health, drain energy, and weaken immune health.
01:40:58.320
When that happens, it's not that your body's broken.
01:41:00.640
It's that it might be missing the right inputs.
01:41:03.480
That's why I want to tell you about Armora Colostrum.
01:41:05.420
It's packed with more than 400 bioactive nutrients that they say can work at a foundational level
01:41:10.900
to fortify gut health, support immune health, fuel recovery, and promote whole body vitality.
01:41:16.580
Strong gut integrity can support metabolism, skin, and hair health, and even performance and recovery,
01:41:22.200
which is why colostrum has long been valued by some elite athletes as well.
01:41:25.860
If you are looking to take back control of your health from the inside out, consider Armora,

01:41:44.500
Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.
01:41:55.940
Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.
01:41:59.100
She saved so much, she got her seat close enough to actually see and hear them.
01:42:27.180
the online casino with all the latest slots and live casino games.
01:42:31.120
No wagering requirements, instant payouts, and no minimum withdrawals.
01:42:41.880
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
01:43:01.940
you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin,
01:43:24.200
I think that her effervescence won her the gold.
01:43:40.940
And it gave her the confidence to go out there and skate.
01:43:50.480
And I wonder if there's like an example in there
01:43:52.420
for these other figure skaters who choke sometimes.
01:44:02.900
But he had a very tough performance the other night.
01:44:05.600
He choked, and he admitted that it was a choke,
01:44:20.700
whether it's the Olympics or professional sports.
01:44:28.120
But I love the metaphor that sports can give you
01:44:35.600
And when you're talking about that, like, that way,
01:44:44.760
and I wasn't trying to make it fit into any sort of particular box.
01:44:49.800
It's just like, well, we're all kind of out of our minds over there,
01:44:55.760
And I think, you know, it made me think, too, of-
01:44:58.900
God, oh, so I saw this segment once back on Real Sports
01:45:04.920
about these major league pitchers, like these phenoms,
01:45:13.800
And there was this thing that I forget they have a name for it
01:45:16.300
where like suddenly they like freeze and they choke
01:45:23.820
And it's like, and then it really calcifies within them.
01:45:34.860
And watching it, it was just like terrifying to me
01:45:41.720
in trying not to get too in your own head too much
01:45:47.180
Like I would bet that girl probably came at that,
01:45:57.860
she came back and said, I want to, I want to skate again.
01:46:05.540
And he understood, I think this is not going to be what people are used to.
01:46:10.840
So I was just, it was so joyful to watch equally joyful women's hockey team.
01:46:22.460
They're saying that this women's team is the best ever assembled.
01:46:26.900
Um, we, in the entire Olympics had never been down a goal.
01:46:31.300
We'd always been leading in every single matchup against everybody who got us here.
01:46:39.060
So now we open up the finals yesterday against Canada.
01:46:53.520
I mean, she and all of her team, but like, she didn't let any goals get through.
01:46:56.720
I think we had one goal scored on us before, before the last, before yesterday.
01:47:01.940
I think two goals this woman gave up the entire Olympics.
01:47:07.180
And so we can get an extra body on the, on the ice going on offense.
01:47:12.200
They scored to get it tied up before the game clock ran out.
01:47:19.680
And amazingly, Megan Keller scored the game winning goal.
01:47:28.280
I don't know anything about hockey, but it was so exciting when she, she did it.
01:47:35.460
She juked the other player where like, you know, she made him think that her think that
01:47:39.420
she was going left when she was really going right.
01:47:42.240
She, she slapped this, uh, puck into the goal in between the goalie's legs.
01:47:47.300
And the defender was splayed out on the ice, like in the X formation, just like with her
01:47:52.180
head down, realizing she had just missed such an important moment.
01:47:58.540
And, um, everybody on Twitter was like an ex was like, oh, there's a filthy goal.
01:48:05.720
And I was like, these are Americans who are fans of this.
01:48:09.560
So why do they keep saying like, they're all using those terms.
01:48:12.840
I actually asked on X, I'm like, why, why are all these hockey fans using the terms
01:48:18.360
And I guess it's a unique hockey thing in particular.
01:48:21.660
Maybe it's applies to other sports, but they were saying hockey fans use those terms for
01:48:26.800
Oh, so it's like, it's a, it's a compliment thing.
01:48:30.520
And then the crowd went wild and all the girls stormed each other and it was so joyful.
01:48:36.340
And here is our team singing the national anthem, like a bunch of amazing Patriots.
01:49:01.840
Sorry, but just to contrast that with the U.S. women's soccer team, um, let's see what
01:49:25.080
Half don't even have their hands on their hearts.
01:49:34.040
So hats off to women's hockey for showing the world and women's soccer how it's done.
01:49:41.500
And, you know, that makes me think of, um, at the Superbowl you'll often see at the national
01:49:47.420
We were just talking about Chris Stapleton who did one of the greatest national anthem
01:49:52.660
I love seeing like grown big burly men weep at a rendition of that, that like really gets
01:50:00.200
And, um, that there, there, those are those great unifying moments because sports transcends
01:50:10.620
Haley Wynn is on our women's team and they ran such a good package on her and her family.
01:50:19.080
She has three older brothers and these, her older brothers are her biggest fans.
01:50:25.320
They've become complete stands for their younger sister.
01:50:32.800
And they ran this setup package on showing her on skates when she was just like literally
01:50:36.900
a baby and these boys have been there her whole life encouraging her.
01:50:57.740
We've watched you on skates before you could even walk and listen to you talk about your
01:51:05.400
dreams of becoming an Olympian since the first time you were asked.
01:51:20.980
Women's Hockey Team deserves everything that's coming to you.
01:51:29.040
We can't wait to cheer you on as you continue to push for gold.
01:51:32.140
Watching you get to live out your dream is a blessing.
01:51:35.100
No matter the outcome of these games, it doesn't change who you are.
01:51:39.340
You have three older brothers that now look up to you.
01:51:55.000
I love, you know, that's the kind, like, I feel like we, that is maybe more of the exception.
01:52:00.840
I would hope it's more of the rule than the exception, but like these older brothers
01:52:08.100
Not an iota of resentment or like, who do you think you are?
01:52:13.580
We've seen you in skates before you could walk.
01:52:18.120
It reminds me of the saying, which is also sad.
01:52:24.480
But your siblings are with you for the whole thing.
01:52:29.780
And they're the ones who, you know, and that just made, that just is, is one of the most
01:52:36.560
And you know, that's why that girl can go out there and skate the way she does because
01:52:40.600
she's got that from her brother saying, you just, you're living the dream.
01:52:48.420
It must be said, again, hats off to good parenting.
01:52:55.560
Creating that sort of sibling support and love.
01:52:58.700
And that girl went out there knowing her life was great no matter what happened at the final
01:53:08.700
And it's a win for her going forward in life because being at the Olympics can't be the
01:53:16.520
And that's got to be a highlight, but it can't be the best.
01:53:20.520
She gets to have those brothers with her every Christmas, God willing, and birthdays.
01:53:25.460
It's just like, it's hashtag goals as a parent.
01:53:29.520
But even just as a human, you know, to foster those kinds of relationships in your life.
01:53:34.420
God bless the entire team, Haley and the others.
01:53:45.380
As you can see, we're a family too here at the MK Media Network.
01:53:49.600
We talk all the time and I'm practically Velcro to Megan's side.
