Every child deserves to splash, to laugh, to share adventures with friends, to feel like they belong.
00:00:10.900
But for some, that joy comes with a price tag that's beyond their reach.
00:00:15.420
Help the YMCA bring its transformative programs to those who can't afford them.
00:00:20.160
Because connections, cannonballs, and confidence should never be out of reach.
00:00:30.600
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
00:00:42.160
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Monday.
00:00:46.320
Leftist protesters spending the weekend wishing death upon conservatives.
00:00:50.780
But you wouldn't know it looking at the legacy media coverage describing the No Kings protests as peaceful, joyful.
00:00:58.480
And as the Washington Post put it, a street carnival-like atmosphere.
00:01:04.060
Oh, it's just a fair. It's a day at the fair. Watch.
00:01:06.980
Massive groups of protesters gathered in cities and towns across the country today, part of a day of so-called No Kings demonstrations protesting the Trump administration.
00:01:19.580
Organizers behind the No Kings movement say it's about democracy versus dictatorship.
00:01:26.200
I think that the key takeaway from the weekend is how peaceful these were.
00:01:31.280
People were out on a Saturday because they love America.
00:01:39.860
The mood here, for the most part, is playful at times.
00:01:43.920
But what we haven't seen in the vast majority of these locations is even a whiff of violence.
00:01:50.120
From all the footage I can see, these were ordinary folks.
00:01:54.460
They were determined to be peaceful, to carrying flags, talking about their love of the country, not their hatred of it.
00:02:02.040
Not for nothing but that MSNBC anchors, the cities, says everything you need to know about why you're not watching MSNBC, right?
00:02:13.400
They're out there because they love America and they love the Constitution.
00:02:18.960
Missing from any of that coverage, or the coverage anywhere, terms like liberal, leftist, and socialist.
00:02:27.240
I mean, good luck, why don't you do a Google search for yours truly or anybody who you follow on the right
00:02:33.980
and see if they ever discuss a figure like Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh or me or Tucker without saying right, far right, conservative.
00:02:45.880
You must be labeled in order for them to discuss you because they need the audience to know.
00:02:50.620
Enemy, they don't do that when they talk about the left doing their thing.
00:02:55.000
It's celebrated as just a beautiful American display.
00:02:59.360
No deep dives on all the left-wing organizations that took part in and in some cases funded this thing.
00:03:11.940
They said, well, you know, we're not necessarily like, don't make it about the national arm.
00:03:16.820
You know, this is really more of a New York thing.
00:03:19.160
You know, we know the national arm supported Fidel Castro, but like, you know, we got some goals in New York State.
00:03:25.540
And by the way, they're about to have a mayor elected who's a communist, self-described socialist, thin line.
00:03:32.420
Planned Parenthood behind some of these gigs, the ACLU, of course.
00:03:42.600
It's okay for him to be funding the very protests that you're now covering with your city's anchor as though he's a straight news anchor on a straight news platform that's going to disclose the conflicts that exist before they broadcast.
00:03:59.620
Because let me tell you, even in my lane over here in podcasting where my own boss, if I had funded a story that I were covering for you, I would absolutely tell you.
00:04:15.200
Like, of course, we're not surprised, but it's still worth calling out.
00:04:19.120
These stories that I'm about to show you of some of the troubling moments were not hidden on the dark web.
00:04:28.040
They were everywhere, and they received zero coverage on mainstream media.
00:04:38.380
President Trump, his family, ICE agents just trying to do their job, which over 77 million Americans voted for.
00:04:52.200
Where a comedian, who goes by no cap on God, interviewed some of the protesters.
00:05:00.660
And despite these protesters knowing they were on camera, they had zero concern, zero, about describing the violent ways they fantasize about murdering President Trump.
00:05:14.020
Would you rather Trump get guillotined or Luigi Mangione's?
00:05:21.020
We want to watch it just go chop and then the blood to go spurt and the head to fall and roll.
00:05:27.520
I would have been happy if just the shooter would have just been over by one inch.
00:05:45.740
Vance, his wife, Melania, Barron, all the fucking kids.
00:05:57.060
Mitch McConnell who just fell and had a moment of physical infirmity.
00:06:03.760
They all have to be tortured in leftist thought at the peaceful rallies.
00:06:09.120
The one man said he wanted to see the chop, the blood go spurt, and the head to fall and roll.
00:06:16.180
That young woman wishing death upon Ivanka Trump, who is not even part of the administration anymore.
00:06:21.380
Yet another leftist who would love to see Republican children murdered.
00:06:27.680
She's an adult, but she's the president's child, which is her sin in this woman's eyes.
00:06:52.200
State races, local races, national races, congressional, Senate, presidential, all of them.
00:07:01.980
I don't care how many people they put out in their stupid little protests.
00:07:04.640
They must be defeated at every end electorally.
00:07:08.100
The next example is a protester in Portland, Maine.
00:07:11.480
Weren't they supposed to be super sweet up there?
00:07:16.500
Who told the conservative news outlet, The Maine Wire, that if she could have one wish,
00:07:21.880
just one wish on her birthday, well, why don't you listen here?
00:07:34.040
Because I have two little boys who deserve a bright future of freedom and democracy.
00:07:47.200
I hope that I see the obituary that we're all waiting for tomorrow.
00:08:02.120
I thought you were gonna say you were wishing for a little needle of Ozempic underneath your
00:08:10.360
Or that I would just wake up 40 pounds smaller, or 100 in your case.
00:08:14.000
The reporter who interviewed that woman said at first he thought he misheard her.
00:08:21.720
But no, that was a message that she was totally fine with showing the world.
00:08:28.040
Because what's so galling about this, and I should tell you before we play it, that was
00:08:34.000
And just listen to how cheery she is with her murderous message.
00:08:37.900
Like, it's truly like, what I wish for are unicorns and rainbows.
00:08:45.180
So this is your birthday, so you came out on your birthday, you thought it was important.
00:08:51.200
Absolutely, because I have two little boys who deserve a bright future of freedom and democracy.
00:09:04.880
I hope that I see the obituary that we're all waiting for tomorrow.
00:09:25.900
It shows a little boy, maybe eight or nine years old, beating an effigy of President Trump.
00:09:31.540
The little boy is wearing a full face gas mask.
00:09:37.140
The person holding up the effigy is wearing a shirt that appears to read, fuck ice.
00:09:45.340
It looks like he's stabbing him here, like shoving a knife into a fake President Trump.
00:09:50.580
And it was posted to TikTok, but we found another angle of it taken by a different person.
00:09:55.200
This is taken in Broadview, Illinois, likely near the ice facility that has been the site of nonstop protests outside of Chicago.
00:10:01.980
If you look closely, the little boy later gets a high five from an older man when he finishes.
00:10:07.920
Good job beating and then stabbing the President of the United States.
00:10:15.460
This is how they are indoctrinating their youth.
00:10:18.640
Remember the little girls we showed you a couple of weeks ago who were so excited when they were like, someone died.
00:10:23.620
And they were like, President Trump, Elon Musk.
00:10:28.220
They couldn't wait to hear the bad news about the sitting President of the United States.
00:10:40.980
I've had, I still have young children for the past 15 years.
00:10:43.860
And over that time, we have had Democrat and Republican presidents.
00:10:47.640
And I would never dream of calling up that kind of hate in my own child's heart.
00:11:00.340
It's like, it's like a chicken fight, you know, where like, they're all in a circle and they throw the one in and like, tell it to fight, fight, fight.
00:11:08.960
And like, they revel in the awfulness that's happening right before their eyes.
00:11:15.420
This next protester is in Seattle saying Nazis should be killed.
00:11:21.240
And since this man sees Stephen Miller, President Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, as a Nazi, well, you do the math.
00:11:45.580
I don't know if I had something I'd say on camera, bro.
00:11:47.620
That guy should get a visit from the Secret Service because Stephen Miller is a top presidential aide.
00:11:59.940
And he and his wife have been dealing with nonstop death threats, nonstop violence outside their home and escalating threats to their family.
00:12:23.660
That video was taken by Brandi Cruz from the Undivided podcast.
00:12:40.600
He has two babies, only one of whom can even speak yet.
00:12:51.560
And Erica can't quite explain it to her in a way that she understands.
00:12:54.980
How do you make a three year old understand a political assassination or even death?
00:13:03.760
And what she's going to learn someday is that as she was coming to terms with the fact that her father had been murdered, her mother, who had been thrown into this terrible, terrible, acute period of grief.
00:13:17.980
Her little brother, who's going to be raised, never having had a catch with his dad, that that event was being celebrated all over national television for months.
00:13:35.460
Sometimes the Mexican flag and the Palestinian one look similar.
00:13:38.440
But I think it's a Mexican flag while gesturing to shooting herself in the neck and appearing to mouth the word bang.
00:13:57.640
She is enjoying mocking a 31 year old American father having his life taken from him for just speaking.
00:14:12.520
There is a screen grab for the people watching on YouTube.
00:14:14.880
And you should go watch it on YouTube if you're just listening to my audio audience 13 minutes after the hour and look at this vile person.
00:14:21.700
She's got like the hand in the fake gun pointing it up against her neck.
00:14:26.560
And she's enjoying her play acting where she she she veers off to the other side from the fake bullet that gets shot into her neck.
00:14:35.620
The person recording the video was a counter protester who reportedly had a Charlie Kirk flag on his truck.
00:14:42.240
So she was mocking the Charlie Kirk fan for what he just went through.
00:14:47.960
There is reporting that this woman is an elementary school teacher in Chicago, but that has not been verified.
00:14:53.260
So we will not be repeating the name and the school that is circulating for her online.
00:15:04.720
This woman made a homemade sign that reads, which one heals faster, Trump's ear or Erica Kirk's heart?
00:15:12.140
They can't stand the fact that Erica Kirk is a strong woman who refuses to be cowed into hiding.
00:15:18.000
And they don't give a damn about any suffering she's going through.
00:15:28.020
They they want Charlie's baby boy to grow up without a dad.
00:15:32.300
They don't give a shit about him or his baby girl either.
00:15:41.260
They want Katie Miller, the wife, to be the new Erica Kirk.
00:15:44.100
They want same for Donald Trump and Melania Trump.
00:15:49.200
Any of us, any of us, any of us, they they would celebrate the assassination.
00:15:58.740
And these same disgusting, vile cretins want us to run around condemning the young Republicans for a racist text chain private.
00:16:14.360
I've never heard of these people and they are a bunch of morons, which I said at the time, but I'm done.
00:16:21.040
I will not say another fucking word about those young Republicans.
00:16:33.800
Where's Mr. Citties to tell us about the vile threats on Stephen Miller and Donald Trump and the celebration of Charlie's assassination?
00:16:43.180
This man here appeared to come dressed as Charlie's assassin.
00:16:47.720
He's wearing the same shirt as the suspect, a similar hat and sunglasses.
00:16:53.240
You're going to tell me that's accidental bullshit.
00:17:06.060
And you and I both know we're going to see those Halloween costumes of both the shooter and of Charlie's suffering.
00:17:12.920
I mean, my stomach turns just thinking about it, but that's how vile these people are.
00:17:17.160
If they'll do it at a protest on camera, where they know TV cameras are going to be there and photogs, who are going to put their pictures, well, not in the Washington Post, not in the New York Times, but possibly on the Daily Caller or the Federalist.
00:17:31.080
If they'll do it, they'll do it on a night like Halloween, they think it's funny.
00:17:36.220
And their leftist pals probably will be amused.
00:17:38.880
They probably will get pats on the back for doing it.
00:17:41.200
And in probably one of the most vile examples of hate, an older woman, who by all accounts looks sort of normal, I mean, you can tell she's a lefty, but she looks relatively normal, becomes enraged just hearing Charlie Kirk's name mentioned.
00:18:01.960
And we might even need to be a little bit meaner because the Republicans don't mind being mean.
00:18:12.160
Maybe we have to, I don't know, stop being so nice.
00:18:16.880
I'm a pretty nice lady, but I can be pretty mean, too.
00:18:19.720
Okay, and I have to ask this because people on the other side are going to say that they feel like the Democrat Party has been mean recently with Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
00:18:31.420
I am so tired of people saying, oh, but, you know, it's a terrible thing.
00:18:46.440
It was disgusting, the things that he said and did.
00:19:02.260
And Charlie's just like Hitler, so she's happy they're both dead.
00:19:05.040
He was an evil piece of garbage and disgusting and hateful.
00:19:10.100
But she's really got to mull whether she needs to be meaner.
00:19:24.800
I think the problem is my side's not mean enough.
00:19:35.100
Like, I actually would love to have your feedback.
00:19:44.520
You know, somebody was joking, like, yeah, we had our own No Kings rally back in November.
00:19:48.620
And it was an entire country awash in red Republican voters.
00:19:54.480
But they're still out there and they're actually killing us now.
00:20:01.300
Because winning at the ballot box is not the solution.
00:20:12.480
Because you've got, this isn't just a differing POV.
00:20:16.220
This is, like, these people have no care for human life.
00:20:20.860
I mean, we kind of knew that when we saw tens of millions of abortion every year.
00:20:24.440
But, like, that at least is a political issue that we've been debating since time immemorial.
00:20:29.400
This is, I'm really totally fine if you and your children get assassinated based on your politics.
00:20:35.720
Like, this woman has zero self-awareness of how hateful she already is.
00:20:39.220
It's not a terrible thing that a young father was shot in the neck in a video now seen around the world.
00:20:45.040
You weren't, you didn't recoil when you saw that video, madam.
00:20:50.820
You have to point your energies in different directions.
00:20:58.580
Here are some more images shared by Libs of TikTok.
00:21:04.040
This one shows two young women wearing disgusting T-shirts.
00:21:06.740
One reads, politicians don't die like they used to.
00:21:10.480
It shows an image of a man with a gun in his own mouth blowing his head off.
00:21:14.280
And the other T-shirt reads, make assassinations great again.
00:21:24.940
If I zoom in, they actually look like men pretending to be women, which would track.
00:21:32.180
The graphic image shows the famous image of President Trump after the assassination attempt
00:21:38.140
But his eye appears in this image to be blown out with blood spewing out of it.
00:21:57.060
The protesters had a booth labeled Denver Communists.
00:22:02.460
That makes sense, given how we hear who is funding some of these rallies.
00:22:06.080
Below it, a sign that reads, Charlie Kirk had it coming.
00:22:15.980
I'd show them two pictures of Charlie's babes, of his little boy and his little girl, his
00:22:27.920
And then I'd love to show them pictures of their own family.
00:22:32.540
The two women behind the booth, they're seen smiling happily, giving the peace sign.
00:22:38.380
I mean, they're, and you know, it reminds me, hold on, let me see if I can pull this up,
00:22:43.160
of a tweet that Mike Cernovich sent out over the weekend.
00:22:53.960
I'd love to show you your own children and see what that feels like.
00:22:59.440
And you definitely don't want your children to be in danger.
00:23:02.620
That's only a sick person would even consider doing such a thing.
00:23:12.040
It's like, it's got my blood boiling, this whole thing.
00:23:19.760
They get to hold their protests without a care in the world.
00:23:44.260
She's host of After Party on the MK Media Podcast Network.
00:23:47.820

I love that Cernovich tweet because it really is like so easy for them to just say it's mostly
00:25:25.840
Not that I want them to be, but I would love it if our side could also not be in danger.
00:25:30.520
And that these are just people who love America.
00:25:37.660
It's not, when I was watching these tweets and these videos roll across my X feed,
00:25:43.560
It was like, I actually started to feel sick over what I was seeing about Charlie in particular.
00:25:48.420
Sadly, I'm becoming somewhat immune to what I see about Trump because it's so ubiquitous.
00:26:02.820
I mean, while you were going through that amazing compilation of moments,
00:26:06.860
I was thinking back to the Tea Party years, which you covered, Megan.
00:26:10.120
And we all remember, if there was one sign at a happy, joyful, albeit angry Tea Party rally,
00:26:17.620
but if there was one sign that said something bad, if there was one person who was in a T-shirt
00:26:24.920
who said something bad, like the woman who, by the way, in that No Cap on God video was
00:26:29.400
in an SEIU T-shirt, as I was watching that, I noticed she was in an SEIU T-shirt.
00:26:35.560
If one person had a booth at a rally, so the Denver Communist booth that you just talked about,
00:26:41.160
if one person had a booth, these are many, many examples all put together.
00:26:45.480
But if one of those happened at a major Tea Party rally or now at a Trump rally,
00:26:50.340
that would be the narrative in the legacy media for days.
00:26:54.760
That would be the, quote, first draft of history that is written about the event,
00:26:57.920
that it was extreme, that it was radical, that it was flirting with violence.
00:27:09.120
And second of all, it pours gasoline on the fire of people's cultural anger and frustration.
00:27:16.600
Because to the question that you ended on, it's like, what are you supposed to do?
00:27:20.040
What are you, how are you supposed to deal with people who say that Charlie Kirk is like
00:27:26.760
Part of that is the high stakes of the media's bad coverage.
00:27:30.040
They covered him like he was a sort of obvious racist, that there wasn't really a debate about
00:27:37.880
It was just clear to them that Charlie Kirk was a racist.
00:27:40.620
That's the stakes of the bad media coverage, is that people think that they're out there
00:27:44.180
celebrating the assassination of a Hitler-like figure.
00:27:47.620
So we know, we know what would have happened if these people, if this had been a center
00:27:54.460
right movement and protest, it would have been disqualified immediately and written into
00:28:01.900
There was one woman who showed up with a sign that had a picture of a Nazi helmet, you know,
00:28:14.980
The MAGA hat right next to that, a Ku Klux Klan white hood next to that, and then a Confederate
00:28:21.620
flag on a baseball cap, and it reads, same shit, different hat.
00:28:29.000
All right-wingers are just the same as white hood-wearing Nazis who, I guess, are from the
00:28:39.400
And here's another one, Sot 7 here, as Charlie Kirk supporter Nathan Hughes gets screamed
00:28:55.660
Okay, if you have free speech, wear a shirt that says free speech.
00:29:02.120
Well, you get triggered because it has Charlie on there, right?
00:29:05.300
Because he was a racist, because he was a misogynist, and that means that you were too,
00:29:16.400
He hated anyone that wasn't white, that wasn't male, that wasn't straight.
00:29:20.500
Like, to my point, what, how do you deal with that, Emily?
00:29:26.700
Like, how, this is why the right is making these people famous, you know, trying to get
00:29:35.780
Because what we're finding out in an inordinate amount of the cases is the people saying that
00:29:44.420
And I think many of us are like, how am I supposed to go in and get emergency care from,
00:29:50.720
let's say, I don't know that this is a nurse, but it has been in the past, a nurse or a doctor
00:29:55.520
who feels that way about Charlie and right-wingers, or anybody who supports Charlie.
00:30:01.860
Or send my child into a classroom with a teacher who feels that way.
00:30:05.860
I mean, in the video, the man in the For Charlie shirt just laughed in her face and did so in a
00:30:12.760
way that I would have been impossible to contain that laughter.
00:30:15.640
So he did it in a way that I felt was actually a pretty appropriate response, because it would
00:30:24.760
But in the long term, this is like an incredible danger.
00:30:27.900
And the only thing that gives me solace right now is thinking of how the tide has turned on
00:30:34.560
DEI, critical race theory, trans issues, where you couldn't even talk.
00:30:39.420
I mean, you couldn't say anything politically incorrect without getting fired.
00:30:43.920
And by the way, oftentimes it was just true and factual.
00:30:46.600
And you could say it as somebody on the left and perfectly respectfully five years ago.
00:30:50.700
And the only thing that gives me solace is that it's slightly better now.
00:30:56.120
I think we'll probably see a rise of those tensions again.
00:30:58.500
So people just need to be prepared for this type of rancor on our streets, because our
00:31:06.480
And as you were saying, Megan, the democratic process, beating people at the polls and beating
00:31:13.720
But with someone like that, there's only so much you can do.
00:31:15.860
Persuasion is really not going to change her mind.
00:31:19.300
Just you have to prevent people from from turning into extremities or extreme measures
00:31:27.160
And hopefully I mean, like that's what we have.
00:31:30.440
I mean, we're just at a place where a lot of people just cannot be convinced.
00:31:34.520
That woman with red hair screaming for the listening audience, that was the second one
00:31:37.440
saying he was a racist and misogynist and you support him.
00:31:44.840
That's the 20 year old version of the kid who is beating the effigy of Donald Trump and
00:31:57.420
If you are not actively counterprogramming what your school is doing to your child, the
00:32:02.580
odds are you're going to wind up with a child just like this.
00:32:05.020
You know, the vast majority of schools in America are doing this kind of thing to the
00:32:09.100
This this boy would get celebrated for his fake stabbing of Donald Trump at a lot of
00:32:17.360
They're going to all agree with that redheaded lunatics screaming at the Charlie Kirk supporter
00:32:26.460
So there's no like there's a whole system that believes this way.
00:32:32.880
One of the things that was written on the bullet casing.
00:32:34.900
One of them that was in the gun of the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination, Tyler Robinson
00:32:41.120
was the the the words Bella Ciao, which is a reference to an anti-fascist Italian song.
00:32:50.880
And this is another piece that we heard over the weekend posted online by Sean Hendricks.
00:32:57.420
It's a fair amount of people who knew the song like and of course knew the reference because
00:33:21.480
Those like they didn't all just know this anti-fascist song six months ago.
00:33:27.640
We watched a protest in June, you know, the same No Kings thing.
00:33:33.520
But now that it's been written on an assassin's bullet casing, they want to celebrate it.
00:33:40.120
It's like generally on the show, we don't cover just like the random nutcase because
00:33:46.660
You know, like our side of reason has its nutcases too.
00:33:50.020
So I generally, really genuinely try not to do that.
00:33:53.940
This is everywhere that we've been dealing it now since Charlie was murdered on September
00:33:59.520
I mean, here we are, what, October 20th and it's still going there.
00:34:05.960
Like not just I hated him or what that woman said.
00:34:11.940
But like singing the messages of his assassin, wearing the costume of his assassin, you know,
00:34:21.740
it is a celebration, a glorification of the murder, which is how you get more murders just
00:34:30.440
And Donald Trump, by the way, was shot in the head.
00:34:36.540
There's just no reason that any person should be out there with an effigy and having a kid
00:34:41.180
stabbing the effigy without others at the protest.
00:34:45.140
And I've seen this covering protests before others at the protest, pulling you back and
00:34:51.020
This is not going to this is going to disqualify all of the people that are here patriotically
00:34:57.960
But it seems like this was all over the country and is not exactly nut picking when you look
00:35:04.320
at some of the polling about where people are on political violence.
00:35:08.440
This is obviously reflective of some deep sickness in our body politic, and particularly one that
00:35:15.100
the left is under the microscope for, rightfully so, right now.
00:35:18.260
That seems entirely appropriate right now after you have what happened to Charlie.
00:35:22.960
And I remember, Megan, you did this segment a couple of weeks ago going through the insanities
00:35:27.500
in what people were saying about Charlie Kirk being racist, like all of the claims, just
00:35:34.860
And I remember on social media going back and forth with people who were making these blanket
00:35:39.080
statements that, like, objectively, Charlie Kirk racist, Charlie Kirk hateful, et cetera.
00:35:43.700
And everything crumbles when you take it apart and you realize that he's talking about points
00:35:48.440
that have been made by Thomas Sowell and Jason Reilly, as you point out, over many, many years.
00:35:53.440
But that lands flat with so many people now because they just have this worldview that is impenetrable
00:36:00.540
to reason, and that is so dangerous. That's why they want to shut people down as Nazis. That's
00:36:06.240
why they want to shut people down as Hitler, because they're at a point beyond being persuaded.
00:36:12.700
Hopefully, not everyone, but it's hard to look at somebody like that and say, yes, now they
00:36:17.320
are going to, we can hit them with all of this reason and logic and say, this argument looks
00:36:22.700
like this. This is why you're wrong. It doesn't matter. I mean, that's just the place that we're
00:36:27.400
at with a big chunk of the country. And it's, it's really, really dangerous.
00:36:31.640
It's so, it's so mentally deranged. And yet it's, it's not because one third of liberals
00:36:38.460
are open-minded to political violence. So it's really not, they can't all be crazy. Some of them
00:36:43.720
are sane and just believe this is actually a way out of our current problems. I genuinely don't
00:36:48.520
understand it. I genuinely don't. There are people who I can't stand on the other side of the aisle,
00:36:54.140
certainly in the punditry class. I mean, those are the ones who are at the top for me,
00:36:57.700
but also in the politician class. Most of the politicians, I just kind of laugh and scoff at,
00:37:01.720
but there are a couple who I really can't stand who have been very aggressive on the transing of
00:37:05.780
children, for example, like a couple in the, um, the legislature out in California. I would never
00:37:11.640
cheer their death. Never, never, never, ever. There isn't anybody alive. Like maybe if there was
00:37:17.580
somebody who was actively committing a genocide. Yeah. I mean like that's war. That's a different thing.
00:37:21.860
But then like they, they just, they would say, well, that's Donald Trump. He's genociding immigrants
00:37:27.700
right now. That's how they make the leap. And they lose like the connection to no, no, no, no,
00:37:32.900
no, no, no. You're talking about like an actual genocide, like something that's actually happening,
00:37:36.120
uh, uh, in Africa right now where, where you've got thousands being killed in the name of politics
00:37:41.560
or in any event, we could go down that, that path. But here, speaking of the, you know, Trump's
00:37:47.780
committing a genocide, they are just as vocal on the ice situation. And we saw that that's kind of
00:37:53.920
the catalyst for the no Kings, um, rallies in some ways. And so the anti ice rhetoric was at a fever
00:38:02.180
pitch again, peaceful. They were happy. They were joyful. Um, I guess they didn't catch this guy.
00:38:09.200
This is posted by gray stack S T a K media in Chicago. Okay. So gray stack media caught this
00:38:16.080
guy in Chicago sought eight. You got to grab a gun. We got to turn around the guns on this fascist
00:38:25.160
system. These ice agents got to get shot and wiped out this day. The state machinery that's a full
00:38:33.680
display right there has to get wiped out. Okay. Now I just had a debate with the fifth column guys
00:38:41.580
who we love. Um, and Matt Welsh, who was like the ice agents should not be wearing masks. And we had
00:38:47.780
not this video, but something like, and I said, Matt, that's, this is why they do have to wear masks.
00:38:51.580
They literally had bounties placed on their heads for execution by these drug cartels, but you don't
00:38:56.900
even have to go to the drug cartel place that appears to be an American citizen. He has an accent,
00:39:02.100
but it appears to be an American citizen standing up there calling for ice to be assassinated.
00:39:07.000
And so why wouldn't they need to protect themselves? And why wouldn't now the media
00:39:12.360
take it down just a notch now that we're having bounties placed on them and open air calls for
00:39:19.880
ice agents to be assassinated? It's dangerous for everyone that the media, and I really mean this,
00:39:27.820
that the media does not cover this with the same standard that they cover stuff on the right,
00:39:33.660
because people on the right then get completely fed up and say, I don't know, I throw their hands
00:39:38.640
up in the air and it becomes fertile ground for actual radicalization. Because when you have this
00:39:44.100
happening after somebody was just, uh, trying to shoot ice agents in Dallas, apparently hits two
00:39:51.220
migrants. Everybody is in more danger. You are asking, you are asking for, uh, blood on the streets
00:39:59.760
by not taking this seriously. And as seriously as you would, if somebody on the right said that
00:40:07.960
about, for example, migrants themselves, we all know, I mean, it's actually astounding, astounding
00:40:14.440
to me, the amount of evidence that you've played over the course of the show, Megan, that we know
00:40:17.980
if just one of these videos, if just one of these videos existed at a Trump rally or at a tea party
00:40:24.800
rally back in 2012, this would be the narrative. And it is, it is, people are so exasperated with it
00:40:31.560
that they're throwing their hands up in the air. How many hours were devoted to the comedian at the
00:40:37.460
Trump rally at Madison square garden who made the joke about Puerto Rico? How many segments on
00:40:44.320
television? And this, all this stuff that we've shown totally ignored in favor of the joyful,
00:40:51.940
they love America. They love our constitution. There they are in the cities protesting as peaceful
00:40:59.200
Americans. That's what we get instead. It's infuriating. Um, here's another bit on ice from,
00:41:05.900
okay, when is like, when was the last time John Cusack actually starred in a movie? That's what I want
00:41:10.920
to know. He had his stint weirdly inexplicably as a rom-com lead back in the nineties. Who the hell
00:41:19.980
decided he was going to be at Hollywood heartthrob? I have no idea. Um, he should just be grateful for
00:41:25.300
it. I mean, he's not an attractive man. He there's nothing good looking about him. And yet he managed to
00:41:30.160
stumble into the same kind of roles as Matthew McConaughey. Hello. And instead of just being really
00:41:34.720
grateful to the country for giving him this very undeserved opportunity, he's bitter, bitter,
00:41:40.200
bitter. Here he is. Watch him. Score, right? Um, the authoritarians divide and conquer and they
00:41:48.180
create an other and then they pick on it and then pick on the person and harass them, jail them.
00:41:55.000
Um, and that's all used as a distraction so they can steal as much as they can maintain power,
00:42:01.520
right? We, we all know history. So that's what he's doing. And, um, we have masked goons roaming
00:42:10.340
the streets, hiding their faces, um, abducting people. You're a storyteller. What is the story
00:42:18.980
of Chicago? Go to hell. Is that the message from Chicago? Yes. Great. I'm sure a lot of people
00:42:26.460
will be buying his next story. Trademark that one ASAP, John. Get, get the trademark, get the
00:42:34.120
copyright on there ASAP, my friend. Masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting,
00:42:41.320
abducting people. They don't care if it's not true. They just, they want to incentivize violence
00:42:47.660
against them, Emily. And you're right. There'll be no accountability by the media, but just like,
00:42:52.340
what about, what about like media policing media? What about, you know, the leftists trying to
00:42:59.620
uphold something close to their own standards? Because you're right. Had that been somebody
00:43:03.620
wearing a MAGA hat, uh, talking about anybody on team left, there'd be, it would only take one,
00:43:09.500
would take just one comment to send the internet into full meltdown.
00:43:13.760
Well, the thing he said in the first part of the interview that you played is that
00:43:17.260
authoritarians create the other. It is so obvious that is what was happening on the left. And it is
00:43:25.660
what is happening with his compatriots who are out there comparing Charlie Kirk to Hitler, to a degree
00:43:32.600
that is genuinely widespread. The amount of people who believe that Charlie Kirk is a hate monger,
00:43:40.000
and not just sort of like, we can have a debate about this and that, which I would still object to,
00:43:44.840
but genuinely believe that he is on par, objectively on par with somebody who should
00:43:51.320
be lumped into an actual hate bigot category because the media allowed him to be covered that
00:43:57.780
way. It is astounding. That is exactly what he's talking about. That is the authoritarian othering
00:44:04.940
that preceded this entire moment. That is how the cliche goes. That is how you got Trump because
00:44:11.320
people were tired of being called bigots for wanting a border wall, being categorized, lumped
00:44:17.360
into that, necessarily lumped into that category of bigotry by the media, by elites who are profiting
00:44:24.420
from all of it, by the way. And so it's actually very funny. That was his justification for taking
00:44:29.220
to the streets. And that's what he takes issue with being, in his argument, turned around on the
00:44:33.980
left. That is the othering that got us to where we are right now. Look at Don Lamont and his messaging
00:44:42.300
around ICE and what private citizens should do. Black people, brown people of all stripes,
00:44:49.920
whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your place
00:44:56.040
where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally. Because when you have people
00:45:04.480
knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the
00:45:12.320
Second Amendment was written for? Go back and read what the Second Amendment says. And perhaps it will
00:45:18.480
knock some sense in the head, in the heads of these people who are saying, well, it's all great. I don't
00:45:23.580
believe they're doing it without due process. They're asking people for papers. They're not
00:45:27.120
really beating people up. These people are doing things that are illegal. Nobody is illegal. It is
00:45:32.020
a misdemeanor to cross the border. Okay. I don't know where, when he developed a lisp, but now he has
00:45:37.460
a lisp, I guess. And he's out there actually saying that they're tearing Americans out of their homes
00:45:43.200
and what, deporting them without due process. That's a lie. That is a lie. There is not an American
00:45:50.560
citizen who's not entitled to and doesn't get due process. The whole battle we're having is over people
00:45:55.860
who are here illegally, or in some cases, who are here on a temporary visa that can be withdrawn just as
00:46:03.860
easily and quickly as it was granted, because they are guests here and their invitation does not have to
00:46:08.960
be never-ending. So you spout off about certain things or the State Department deems you to be a potential
00:46:15.680
danger. Yeah, your visa is probably going to go away. But actually rounding people up is only
00:46:21.180
happening to suspected illegals who, the ones who are getting shipped out immediately, already have
00:46:27.260
a prior order of deportation. And the ones who actually get housed and then offered a trial are
00:46:34.140
ones who need some order of administrative hearing, which they get before they get deported.
00:46:39.400
There's been one category of people used under the Alien Enemies Act, where Trump went to a more
00:46:46.800
extreme measure on all people who were here illegally, illegally. It was all, not US citizens.
00:46:53.120
That's what they want you to believe. And on top of all that, what he is having people to believe is
00:46:57.700
that if you get a knock from an ICE agent on your door, no matter who you are, if you're black or brown,
00:47:03.900
you're going to get arrested and shipped out without due process. That's a lie. That kind of messaging
00:47:10.360
is going to get an ICE officer shot and killed. And they've lost all fealty to facts, Emily,
00:47:18.960
when it comes to ICE in particular. Well, this is what's driving me a little bit crazy on this.
00:47:26.100
So ProPublica left wing had a big expose last week where they say 170 American citizens. I forget the
00:47:32.860
exact phrasing that they used, but basically was had been detained or arrested by ICE. There's not
00:47:39.440
widespread evidence of American citizens, certainly not widespread evidence of American citizens
00:47:44.220
being deported. And as one of the most insufferable types of people in the world,
00:47:48.200
a civil libertarian, I am, like Matt Walsh, upset with some of the people that I think are getting
00:47:52.940
caught into the dragnet. But yes, Matt Walsh, yes. I screw them up all the time, but they're very
00:47:59.140
different political philosophies. Very, very different. But where Matt and I
00:48:05.540
are going to be disturbed by people getting caught up in the dragnet, that doesn't compare
00:48:10.860
to the policies that Don Le Mans supported for however many years, which was the most
00:48:16.360
anti-democratic immigration surge I have ever, you could even conceive of. The executive branch
00:48:23.660
just deciding to at least, minimum, this is by the New York Times calculation, bring 8 million people
00:48:29.540
into the country in about three years' time. And then when another administration tries to do
00:48:37.240
something about it, we all know that if this was the most orderly process in the world, that nobody
00:48:43.500
had been caught in the dragnet, we all know that Don Lemon would be saying the exact same thing. And
00:48:48.340
that is what is driving me crazy about all of this, is that you can't even have a conversation
00:48:52.840
about any of the stuff that Matt Walsh and I would be sort of criticizing from a civil libertarian
00:48:58.220
perspective. Because it's like, you just brought in, what, like 10 million people in a three-year
00:49:02.260
period. And I don't believe you for a second that you would care that much if this was all being done
00:49:07.720
in an orderly fashion. And by the way, let's just take one minute to look at what happened to
00:49:12.280
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who got snatched up by ICE and was a gang member. The amount of attention
00:49:22.380
on this one illegal who was deported, Maryland man, Maryland man. No, he wasn't a Maryland man.
00:49:27.720
He was living in Maryland, who was accused of beating his wife, who was accused of being an MS-13.
00:49:33.920
If a US citizen were ever arrested and shipped off to an El Salvadoran prison, you don't think we'd
00:49:40.880
know? You don't think that there'd be the full force of the ACLU to get an American back? It's
00:49:47.380
bullshit. The people who are getting shipped to El Salvador are not American citizens. The vast
00:49:53.820
majority of them are Venezuelan or El Salvadoran. So in any event, this is a fear tactic that's being
00:49:59.320
used by people on the left to try to get more Americans to arm up, because I believe they want
00:50:05.600
to see ICE officers shot and or simply intimidated. That's what they want. They want them to back down
00:50:12.360
because to your point, they do want all these people here. They have no problem with what Joe
00:50:17.360
Biden did because it's going to change the demographics and they hope change the electoral
00:50:21.180
outcomes. All right, stand by because we're going to take a quick break, but we will be right back with
00:50:25.700
Emily Jeschinski. I'm excited to share a new partner of the show with you. Hallow, the number
00:50:32.180
one Christian prayer and meditation app. If you have not heard of it, Hallow has more than 10,000
00:50:37.880
audio guided prayers to help you find peace and grow closer to God. Prayer is more important than
00:50:43.720
ever. God, I know I'm feeling that. Are you feeling that? In the past month, we have seen a surge in
00:50:48.600
people turning to faith, more prayer, more church attendance, and a real spiritual revival happening
00:50:54.420
across America. And starting today, Hallow is launching a powerful new prayer series featuring
00:51:00.880
Jim Caviezel. Yes, the actor who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. It's a fictional exchange
00:51:07.380
between two demons trying to pull Christians away from God, not through obvious evil, but through
00:51:13.900
everyday distractions like pride, busyness, and the I'll pray later mindset. Hallow is not just an app.
00:51:21.820
It's a space to slow down, reconnect, and fight back against the noise with prayer. You don't have
00:51:27.600

Did you know that up until the 1990s, all chips and fries were cooked in beef tallow? Who knew? Like
00:51:48.500
when you were scarfing down that fast food in the 80s, that'd been cooked in beef tallow, not in seed
00:51:53.500
oils. But then big food companies made the switch to cheap, highly processed seed oils, and now they
00:51:59.280
make up to 20% of the average American's daily calories. This is why I'm so excited to tell you
00:52:04.300
about masa chips. I love masa. It's a chip that's doing things differently. Masa chips are made with
00:52:10.640
just three ingredients, organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. That's it. No seed oils,
00:52:18.760
no junk. They're delicious. So like they're thicker, they're crunchier, they've got some good salt on
00:52:24.180
there. And unlike the regular chips, you don't have to eat like 30 of them to feel sated. You can have
00:52:29.840
like four masa chips and you do feel sated. You're good. They're genuinely tastier than the other chips.
00:52:35.860
They don't break in your guac or salsa. Plus they really leave you feeling light, satisfied,
00:52:41.520
and energized. No crash, no bloat. Try them for yourself. You're going to taste the difference.
00:52:46.940
Personally, my favorite flavor of the masa, I like the white corn. I've been into that. That's been good.
00:52:52.620
And the original is delicious too. My son really loves the lime and my other two kids eat all of them. So
00:52:58.420
check them out for yourself. You can get the variety pack. And so you can try them all out.
00:53:03.080

00:53:45.080
it's amazing that they're so far out of touch. Glenn Beck. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm
00:53:49.200

00:53:58.340
Hitler's coming. And you have all these single women on anti-anxiety meds freaking out. Oh my
00:54:03.440
gosh, the world's going to end. These people get lied to repeatedly and all they do, maybe it's a
00:54:09.000
Democrat thing, is bend over it and say, thank you, sir. May I have another? Emily Jashinsky.

white people, Megan. Len Greenwald. The only time I ever see clips of Michelle Obama is when you
00:54:32.540
force me to see them. The way you're chewing makes me want to smack you upside the head. I like watch

live every Monday and Wednesday night, 10 p.m. on youtube.com slash at, the little at sign,
00:55:36.080
After Party Emily. Find all the ways to subscribe to the show at afterpartyemily.com. Okay, Emily,
00:55:43.200
during the break, I went and actually pulled that ProPublica article because I do not trust that
00:55:46.980
publication. And once again, I feel validated in my instincts. It is not true what they said,
00:55:53.260
that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been held by immigration agents. And by the way,
00:55:57.660
it's a sleight of hand. Because if you dig in this article, what they're saying is 170 have allegedly
00:56:03.280
been held by ICE, like making it sound like they were on the way to being deported. But really,
00:56:08.300
when you dig into it, you see it's the vast majority were arrested at ICE protests for throwing
00:56:14.200
things at cops or behaving badly. So any American can get arrested for doing that at a No Kings rally,
00:56:19.740
at a BLM rally, though they never were, and certainly at an anti-ICE rally. That's the vast
00:56:25.280
majority that they're objecting to. And they're like, oh, these are bullshit charges that were
00:56:27.900
soon thereafter dismissed. Well, that's because we have soft on crime DAs who don't like to protest
00:56:32.140
anybody who shows up at an ICE rally. It doesn't mean anything about their guilt or innocence.
00:56:35.480
And then just quickly zeroing in on the people who they say are citizens being wrongly detained
00:56:40.260
by ICE, they say nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held
00:56:46.260
for weeks without their undocumented mother and without access to the family's attorney.
00:56:51.120
Okay, we covered these cases here on this show. What's happening is in those cases with the children,
00:56:57.200
the children may be U.S. citizens, but the mothers are illegal. The fathers in most cases have split,
00:57:02.280
so we're only dealing with a mom. And the mom's about to get deported. One of these moms,
00:57:06.500
I remember her case, she'd been deported three times, three times, and she continued to stay.
00:57:10.620
So when they got her the fourth time, Tom Homan did it courtesy of saying, what do you want me to
00:57:15.220
do with your young kids? Like they can come with you, they can go with you back to Honduras,
00:57:19.220
or we can leave them with a family member here. And in all these cases, the mom said,
00:57:23.560
I'm taking them with me. But now you get ProPublica who writes it up.
00:57:27.000
Like we're wrongfully detaining American children in ICE facilities. It's just
00:57:32.680
propaganda. What I said is right, which I knew. We are not rounding up American citizens and holding
00:57:40.740
them without due process. We are rounding up Americans who misbehave at protests. And it is
00:57:45.180
possible some American here or there could get wrongfully arrested by ICE, suspected of being
00:57:49.720
illegal. But even the ProPublica article admits that all the Americans got released within a day
00:57:55.000
when they got wrongfully tapped for whatever reason by Tom Homan or police for bad behavior at
00:58:01.440
a protest. So it's like, it's just, it's misleading. And Homeland Security has come out repeatedly trying
00:58:06.140
to debunk this saying it's not true. It's not true. But you get fudging numbers like this where
00:58:11.500
people believe it. And then they, then they want to kill ICE. You know, that Kristi Noem is pointing
00:58:17.220
out that the threats on ICE agents have gone up. I think she said 3000%. Like these guys forget the
00:58:23.360
bounties by the drug cartels, which you do need to take seriously every day just for doing their job,
00:58:28.340
which is law enforcement to clean up Joe Biden's mess, have to deal with the John Cusacks of the
00:58:33.200
world calling them goons. You're right. It's like, it's just so wrong. Okay. But enough of,
00:58:39.020
yeah, you, you comment on it and then we'll move on. Well, no, I was just going to say the ProPublica
00:58:42.520
article is frustrating because there, there are, there are a handful of cases. So there's a veteran
00:58:46.500
who got caught up in Oxnard, the California Oxnard raid that people have talked a lot about.
00:58:51.360
And there are cases like that, but then I'm clicking through the links just like you did
00:58:54.820
on the ProPublica story as I was reading it. And it's cases where, for example, a woman is knowingly
00:59:00.500
living with somebody who is pretty clearly involved in gang activity. And then it just gets dropped into
00:59:06.220
the ProPublica story with zero context, unless you click through on a hyperlink.
00:59:10.040
And we're talking about a US citizen who is again, like knowingly living with somebody who is not in
00:59:15.700
the country legally, who is pretty clearly involved with all kinds of bad stuff. And I'm supposed to
00:59:20.520
have sympathy for her getting caught up in a raid when it's her house that this guy lives at. So yes,
00:59:27.160
I mean, the story is like, it's just incredibly frustrating the way that the left treats these
00:59:31.400
cases because people who then do get maybe caught up in the drag net, which there will be some cases
00:59:36.620
like that. You know, nobody knows what to believe. Nobody knows what to believe because it's such
00:59:42.280
I do. I know what to believe. I know exactly what to believe.
00:59:47.100
But like the average person who's like, just like trying to figure out what's going on and
00:59:51.280
doesn't follow politics for a living. They're like, what the hell? Well, what's, what's actually
00:59:54.720
No, you're right. And not only that, then they made the colossally foolish decision of trusting
01:00:01.920
MSNBC or CNN or ABC, NBC or CBS. Like, honestly, like that's a colossally catastrophic decision
01:00:10.220
because then you have total mind meld that you really, you are clueless. You don't know you're
01:00:15.040
clueless. You, you have only garbage in, garbage out. And the next thing you know, you're supporting
01:00:20.200
assassinations of totally innocent, good men. Like it's, it's a very dark cycle. I mean, that's
01:00:25.740
why I'm, I love the fact that the mainstream media is, is dying and it's, it's over, you know,
01:00:30.420
it's like, I've said it before, but it's like the deer that gets hit by the car and it kind of runs
01:00:34.000
off into the side, you know, planes and it's got those 10 seconds of life or that, but it's, it's
01:00:39.140
dead and it's going to be dead within a minute. As soon as it hits the woods, it's sad. I may or may
01:00:44.500
not have been the person who hit the deer at one point in my life, allegedly. There's another
01:00:50.180
thing I could do. He ran right in front of my car. I was lucky to be alive after the whole thing.
01:00:54.020
In any event, that that's why I'm happy to see their demise because they're so dishonest and
01:00:58.880
they are misleading people. Okay. But we spent so much time on the darkness. We have to take a moment
01:01:03.700
to celebrate the foolishness because the Democrat party that we saw at these no Kings protests was
01:01:11.160
like equally really fucking dangerous and something to be afraid of. And an absolute laughingstock
01:01:18.620
joke of a group. Right. So it's like, I don't know how to feel. I saw one meme that said it's
01:01:24.960
Antifa and Antique-fa. Like antiques. Like that's, that's about right. So we now move on to the Antique-fa
01:01:35.100
portion of our coverage of the no Kings rally. And probably the best place to start is by showing,
01:01:43.000
well, let's see, no, let's, yeah, here's the meme. Antifa and Antique-fa showing grandma.
01:01:49.220
Grand-tifa is amazing. Let's show the dancers. Do we have that one? I think it, I was told it was
01:01:53.880
16 of the, the dancing protesters. Cause you and I love to discuss dancing and singing protesters
01:02:02.980
There ain't no King. There ain't no King. There ain't no King. We're rising up. He ain't
01:02:08.940
dying. No matter what you say. Oh my God. Everyone's over 60.
01:02:18.280
There ain't no King. There ain't no King. He's wearing some very ugly yellow shirts.
01:02:22.480
Okay. That's it. Okay. I, I like this group. They don't scare me. I didn't see any let's kill
01:02:52.060
Donald Trump signs or assassinate Charlie Kirk, though. Something tells me they probably believe
01:02:57.200
it. Um, but the, you know, the dancing crews back just as we saw with the, um, the protest choir in
01:03:03.620
Maryland that day. And you tell me to interpretive dance has long been a way of expressing one's
01:03:08.860
feelings. Emily Jasinski. Well, I actually think this should be banned for a totally different reason
01:03:13.580
is that it is so sexually tantalizing, right? That you can't have this display of raw sexuality in
01:03:20.640
public, uh, without endangering people, because this is just incredible. They're there. They have
01:03:25.760
this animal magnetism about them. It's eerily similar to the Pete Buttigieg campaign dance to
01:03:31.240
high hopes. I don't know if you remember this from like 2019 where they're doing the, my mouth.
01:03:36.580
It's so bad, but they love doing it. It's so, I mean, they can't, they can't quit it because I think
01:03:41.700
it goes back to it was Hans Feeney, the columnist over at the federalist who wrote about, I think he
01:03:46.420
coined the term Selma envy. And that's what you see at so many of these protests is often just
01:03:51.720
boomers clinging to that era that many of them didn't get to partake in, but they remember it
01:03:57.420
as this like height of American patriotism and activism. And they cling to it because they see
01:04:02.520
it as their identity. I mean, they're like lost in a drift for meaning. So they cling to the,
01:04:07.340
the sixties and the seventies, uh, as this, this identity for themselves, they wrap themselves in it
01:04:12.640
and that's all they can do. There was a lot of that. Here's a little bit more. Um,
01:04:17.640
George Conway really, really tried to get something going, uh, on, on, uh, Antifa trying to get a
01:04:25.780
chant going. Let's see. Here's a good one. Sot 12. It didn't go well. Hey, hey, Donald J. How many
01:04:34.300
kids did you saw today? Hey, hey, Donald J. How many kids did you saw today? Hey, hey. Okay.
01:04:40.680
That's it. No one could do it. No one knows what the hell he said. That was George Conway.
01:04:50.580
Yes. He's clearly been hitting the Olympic. He looks different. He looks different.
01:04:55.420
Yeah. Um, I think we all know why. Did he, that's, I mean, that was not a catchy,
01:05:02.080
this isn't great. This is a great example of somebody on the right. Who's now trying to be
01:05:06.100
a part of like left-wing activism and has no idea how to do it. And so he's just doing like
01:05:13.040
this impression of what he thinks like liberal activism is that he's doing it. Did he have like
01:05:18.200
a bandana wrapped around? Like that was George. Yes. I think the left might call it a kerchief.
01:05:23.200
Um, he was wearing a kerchief. All right. He tried another one. Let's, let's watch George
01:05:30.740
And we will shout. We don't care if he never gets out. We say no, no, no to his king plan.
01:05:39.720
We won't be subjects for him for his one, two, three times in peace for a would be king.
01:05:48.200
Everybody. Okay. It's making more sense now, right? He, he needs a little love. He needs
01:06:09.480
somebody to fill him up. He doesn't have Kellyanne. He doesn't have the food and he needs somebody to
01:06:14.160
fill him up a little now on the inside and is out there to like feel loved. I mean,
01:06:19.540
there's nothing wrong with that. I, I think it's fine. I don't feel threatened. And I don't think
01:06:23.720
George Conway is on board the kill the Republicans plan. Um, this to me is kind of good old fashioned
01:06:29.900
protest fun. It's sad that he's not really being loved and very few people are singing along with
01:06:35.660
him and you could see the eyes drifting and nobody understands what he's doing with that song.
01:06:39.220
But at least I think his motivations are pure, like pure TDS.
01:06:44.000
I agree with that. Although I also think part of his motivations to your point, it's this, um, I,
01:06:49.780
he, he seems to want to be cool. And it reminds me of when Joe Scarborough like released the rock album
01:06:55.200
and his guitar playing was so mediocre that it just hurt your heart to be a part of, uh, consuming it
01:07:02.080
in any way whatsoever. And he was like playing gigs in Midtown or maybe he even ventured all the way
01:07:07.380
to Brooklyn. Like it's hard to watch because you can tell it's like the Corvette midlife crisis,
01:07:11.860
but they're doing it with politics and it's just so painful. So I think maybe pure motivations,
01:07:17.580
but they have to be to some extent rooted in also thinking that that's cool. And that, I mean,
01:07:24.420
I can't wrap my head around that. I can't imagine being in middle age and thinking I'm hip. I've got
01:07:31.380
my neon kerchief and I'm singing, take me out to the ball game. Trump rendition off an iPhone,
01:07:37.620
Georgetown ostensibly. Yes. I couldn't be bothered to memorize my little rhyme. I had to read it both
01:07:43.220
times. No one followed me, but I feel loved. It's the closest he's felt to loved. Here he is.
01:07:48.640
One more George Conway to move on from him. Sorry, I got to do it. Debbie Murphy makes me do it.
01:07:54.660
Trying to feed a Trump puppet money. Here it is.
01:08:00.900
Yeah, I don't need more of that. Here, here you go. Here you go. Come on, Donald. Take it. Take it,
01:08:10.280
Donald. Take it. Take it, Donald. It's for you.
01:08:18.120
Emily's literally cringing. I think I'm seeing a physical cringe.
01:08:21.280
It is. It is. Who lets this happen? Doesn't he have people who love him? It's like he's being
01:08:28.060
trotted out by the left. Like the little kerchief, it reminds me, it's like he's their little French
01:08:33.360
bulldog, right? Like he's, they paid $2,000 for him and they're like trotting him out to all of the
01:08:38.820
different stops. He's like doing trick or treat. It's like taking a French bulldog on trick or treat.
01:08:43.660
The one thing I thought might be better. Far less pettable. That's true. The one thing I might,
01:08:48.180
I thought might be better about the second term of Trump is that we wouldn't get this flavor of
01:08:52.580
cringe boomer resistance, anti-Trumpism with the like just awful blow up dolls and the like orange
01:09:01.380
Cheeto King lines that they love to use, but they're still doing the same thing. That's what
01:09:06.280
I saw all over this weekend. They can't fix it. I saw one of these groups was texting its followers.
01:09:11.460
Oh yeah, here we go. To your point, here's a bunch of blob animals, a unicorn, a chipmunk
01:09:17.180
dancing because nothing says no Kings like a dancing chipmunk and a unicorn. Everyone gets it.
01:09:26.460
But one of the mailers that went out told them dress up like Trump. That means you're orange makeup.
01:09:31.420
I love how like they try to get solidarity going in Canada and halfway into it, they realized,
01:09:36.320
oh shit, we really can't say no Kings. We have to change it. Right. It was like, we do have a King.
01:09:42.120
Technically we're, we're controlled by England and that's a King. And this is a problem for us,
01:09:46.400
but maybe we should change it to no tyrants. And, uh, they changed the no crowns to no clowns up there.
01:09:52.100
Canada. We can't help those who won't help themselves. Um, here's another one. Okay,
01:09:56.740
let's keep going. There's, uh, this young man who got up on Saturday, went out there with the signs,
01:10:03.720
like solidarity with the other protesters and for very good reason. Listen to stop 15.
01:10:11.300
Trump's a bitch. Yeah. Why is that? I don't know. He's just, we don't like him.
01:10:15.680
That's the word around here. Any, any particular reason why you don't like him?
01:10:19.360
No clue at all. I'm just going with everybody else saying.
01:10:23.560
I like him. Thank you. He's honest. Thank you. Right. Thank you for your honesty.
01:10:27.120
Like, uh, no clue at all. Just, I'm just out here. There's another one. Um, this,
01:10:32.040
oh yeah, this is the, the sweet tolerant left. It's just a video V3 as the no Kings protesters in
01:10:37.280
Portland walk right past and over the homeless. Oh, good. Good. Almost like, almost like aristocracy.
01:10:46.860
It's almost as though they're aristocrats stepping over. There's somebody getting their blow up animal
01:10:51.220
through past, past the homeless. They're going to get poked with a needle. The blow. I don't know how
01:10:57.480
they stay inflated with all the needles in Portland. Oh my God. They're actually like
01:11:02.120
stepping over homeless people to go to the protest site while they're in animal costumes. You cannot
01:11:10.020
make it up. Um, okay, let's keep going. You've got, um, let's see, these are kind of fun. Should
01:11:16.200
we say video five and video six? My only cue on these, I send these to my team or they send them
01:11:20.940
to me and we say, yeah, let's cue them up. And then I don't, the only thing on my sheet is old
01:11:25.560
white people. That could be anything. This is how the protest looked. Yeah. It's a bunch of old
01:11:33.900
white people. I saw this remarked on all over X yesterday, Emily, like in places like Chicago or
01:11:39.960
Detroit, Detroit is like 80% black in the, the no Kings protest. They're all white. It was all white
01:11:46.400
people. Like none of the black people showed up here too. Yeah. You can see this is Marion,
01:11:51.360
North Carolina and Carrollton, Texas. Uh, so yeah, they just stood there holding their signs,
01:11:57.340
no Kings to the U in the USA, due process, all no Kings, no fear. Okay. I can, I can get on board
01:12:03.000
with this. I don't agree that we have Kings and all that bullshit, but like, this is a normal protest.
01:12:07.600
This is not cut Trump's head off with a guillotine, stab him, kill Stephen Miller,
01:12:13.480
kill ice agents and celebrate Charlie's murder. Like that. We, that's a different story, peeps.
01:12:20.260
Um, okay. Now all of this leads me to, well, first let me do one more. Doug Emhoff,
01:12:26.740
who showed up at one of these no Kings, he showed up at one of these no Kings protests. Have you seen
01:12:30.480
this? And he's holding a sign that reads, if Kamala had won, we'd be at brunch. No Kings.
01:12:37.960
I mean, on point, Emily, I don't think he's telegraphing what he thinks he's telegraphing
01:12:45.260
there. Nope, he sure isn't. And they have zero self-awareness again, after 10 years of Donald
01:12:51.180
Trump's political career, they continue to have the worst possible response to Donald Trump. Like
01:12:57.280
if you were saying that you were like some evil left-wing strategist, you would never come up with
01:13:02.380
anything that looked like this to defeat Donald Trump because this is so ineffective. And it's why they
01:13:07.680
ended up losing the culture, which was unthinkable for the right 10 years ago, that they would have
01:13:13.180
cultural momentum and like the, the cool factor would wildly be on their side. It's because of
01:13:19.440
this and they keep doing it. They keep doing it. They just lost again and they keep doing it.
01:13:24.080
There, it is a group of elitist snobs, just like I could be at brunch. I would have to be dealing with
01:13:28.960
these plebs out here. Here's this gal. Uh, she went and actually rented her outfit from rent the runway
01:13:35.480
for the no Kings protest because she wanted to look her best. Sot 19 in New York City.
01:13:41.880
You guys, I'm headed to the no Kings protest in New York City.
01:13:47.440
I'm so excited. This is my outfit. It's all rent the runway, rent the runway gone in,
01:13:51.560
rent the runway, uh, favorite daughter. My boots are to COVID and then my sign, you can't read it.
01:13:58.240
Kate never made a country gray on one side, but wait,
01:14:00.680
I heart immigrant, New York. I'm so freaking excited. It's going to be the best day. It's
01:14:06.940
perfect weather. It's always the best energy. So happy Saturday.
01:14:12.960
Oh my God. She looks around your age, Emily. I'm going to let you handle this one.
01:14:18.420
No, I genuinely can't believe that's real and not satire because I think you could script something
01:14:22.340
like that and put it out as like a conservative comedian. Like Tim Dillon could put out a video like
01:14:27.380
that and it would be satire, but she actually seems to have done that organically. And she's
01:14:32.120
out like, I guess she does need immigrant New York because someone has to deliver her rent the
01:14:37.000
runway for impossibly low wages. So it makes sense that she's honest about it and she's out there. I
01:14:43.540
don't know that she realizes fully what immigrant New York does for her, but obviously she needs it
01:14:49.120
because someone has to be delivering all of those packages three times a week.
01:14:52.660
I can see her saying to the next delivery guy, like I marched for you. Kisses.
01:15:01.620
So the clueless, youngish liberal woman and honestly, older woman too, they're ruining America. I mean,
01:15:10.600
they really are. Some of our friends on like the more based right in the podcasting world, the guys
01:15:17.280
do amazing bits on this. And I have to say they're very effective. Like Jesse Kelly,
01:15:21.340
freaking love his commentary on what liberal women are doing to America. He's not wrong.
01:15:28.720
And there's one who was in the news recently. I think her name is Danica Kennedy. And she was one
01:15:36.780
of those who was so fed up with Donald Trump being reelected that she did the thing. She did what
01:15:42.180
Ellen DeGeneres did, what Rosie O'Donnell did, and she moved out of the country. She didn't go to the UK
01:15:48.360
or Ireland, respectively. She went to Costa Rica. Now, Costa Rica is supposed to be like all the
01:15:54.480
rage. It's beautiful. It's a blue zone, you know, like where you live forever. And she got the hell
01:16:00.380
out of the toxic United States of America and moved down to Costa Rica. And it doesn't seem like it's
01:16:07.180
going very well. Watch. If you're an American who is considering leaving the country to move
01:16:14.020
somewhere else, make sure that the location you choose isn't based off of fear and lack
01:16:19.300
mentality. I regret moving to Costa Rica. It's a beautiful country. I love the nature and wildlife.
01:16:26.600
But moving to a third world country where I don't know the language, I don't have any connections,
01:16:32.340
resources or opportunities that didn't make my life any easier by any means. I was just so scared
01:16:40.200
of what's going on in America politically that I was in fight or flight. I was like, how am I going to
01:16:46.160
afford to survive? Like, how am I going to find a place to live? Like I was freaking out. And then I
01:16:51.400
came here and made my life so much harder. I just left so many privileges and resources behind and I want
01:16:58.400
them back. It sucks. There's a lot of things that like made me run away from LA and Orange County
01:17:04.400
and some traumatic experiences and terrible people. But I left a lot of resources and great people
01:17:10.200
behind. And I need to be in those environments again. I really miss luxury environments.
01:17:16.480
Oh, no. Wait, I'm going to give you a twofer from this gal because Debbie Murphy, once I sent her this
01:17:24.560
video, fell in love with this gal and decided to do a deep dive on Danica Kennedy and came up with
01:17:30.980
the following video she had posted like a year ago, I think it was on like a little background.
01:17:36.480
So you might need a little background on her to figure out how she got to be this way. And here
01:17:39.960
it is in SOT 21. When I was a kid, somebody told me that I'm Native American and I rode that so hard.
01:17:47.220
I was running around town with a big feather headdress and a wooden walking stick yelling,
01:17:53.380
these are Native lands. But when I was like 10 or 11 years old, I was on my Native lands rant and my
01:17:59.980
mom was elbowing me to shut up. She was like, stop it. You're white. And I was like, no.
01:18:06.440
What? I'm white? I didn't know that. And I had like a full on identity crisis over it. I was so
01:18:14.560
embarrassed. I thought it was the victim, not the oppressor. I'm like a cliche Irish person.
01:18:21.920
I have the curls, the freckles, the storytelling, a history of drinking and slutty tendencies.
01:18:28.760
But there was this whole TikTok trend about how Irish redheads are basically Black people and
01:18:35.940
there are all these like similarities. So I just love that trend so much. It really hits home for me.
01:18:47.380
Oh, no. Oh, no. I was going to say, Megan, it's not fair to pick on her, but she's actually just
01:18:52.720
taking these like mainstream left arguments to their logical conclusion. So if anything,
01:18:57.880
we must pick on her because she represents these ideas very well.
01:19:02.480
I'm kind of falling in love with her. I love that she admits she desperately wanted to be Native
01:19:06.840
American and then was continuously told she's white and then ultimately settled on I'm basically Black
01:19:12.920
because I'm a redheaded Irish woman who drinks too much and is a slut.
01:19:20.160
It's called self-awareness. And she at least maybe has a little bit of it.
01:19:27.860
I mean, on behalf of all Irish people, I would like to object to part two there. All right. I get
01:19:34.120
the drinking memes that, of course, you grow up hearing that as an Irish person, but also slutty.
01:19:39.440
This is new to me. I didn't know the Irish had cornered the market on sluttiness. Since when are
01:19:44.680
the Irish the sluts? I object. I think she's been misinformed.
01:19:48.320
This is, I mean, you clearly have not done the reading, Megan. Well-known fact about the Irish
01:19:55.340
absolute horrors. Kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm a short, fat slut. Name that movie.
01:20:04.620
Anyone? Anyone? I know the audience knows it. You can email me the answer,
01:20:08.640
Megan at MeganKelley.com. I'm a short, fat slut. I'll give you one other clue. I can't do any of
01:20:14.760
these vile things that I wouldn't want to. Okay. There's your clue for the day. Megan movie
01:20:19.620
trivia. Okay. Danica, we'll miss you. Good luck getting out of Costa Rica. And I'm sure she too
01:20:25.840
misses her illegal delivery men bringing her rent the runway and back to her luxury living. I think
01:20:31.860
she'll be much happier here. Okay. We actually have to move on. I want to move on now. I want to
01:20:38.500
talk about Karine Jean-Pierre because she's in the news today and she's another dose of deliciousness.
01:20:42.980
Karine Jean-Pierre wrote this book. It comes out tomorrow. I can't remember what it's called in
01:20:47.080
front of me. I don't really care. No one gives a shit. None of this audience is going to buy it.
01:20:50.520
But she wrote a book and it's about, I guess, why she left the Democrat party because she declared
01:20:55.600
herself an independent now. You may or may not be aware. And when she dropped these weird amorphous
01:21:00.380
teases, we were all like, what is it about? What? Oh, it's called independent. Okay. Well,
01:21:04.960
there you go. Apparently not too memorable. Everybody was like, what do you mean you left the
01:21:10.800
Democrat party? Like you're, you're like literally the face of the Democrat party right now as you're
01:21:14.660
leaving. And we weren't sure. And now she's made, and she was saying she was so like disgusted with
01:21:20.820
her party that she had to leave it. And we're all like, what'd they do? Like there's so many things
01:21:25.800
to choose from. Which specific thing set you off? And now we have finally learned what it was that
01:21:33.420
made her so upset. Okay. Uh, here, hold on. Let's see. Do we have it where she explained it guys?
01:21:41.040
Why she left? I'm looking at, is that 41? Okay. There we go. 41.
01:21:46.340
I have to say, I thought you were going to say that try as you might to convince Joe Biden to
01:21:52.040
drop out of the race. Cause what we were seeing is what you were seeing and he was struggling,
01:21:55.920
couldn't do it. I thought you were going to say you were angry at that, but mostly I did too.
01:21:59.920
What you said in this book is you're angry at the people who tried to push him out.
01:22:04.260
Yes, that's correct. Some Americans are going to say seriously. And, and, but not just the party
01:22:11.200
that pushed him out the party as it's behaving today in this moment, when we need a democratic
01:22:17.140
party to be fighting, to be an opposition party. And that really what ignited the book right after
01:22:24.480
the administration, I was, I was just minding my business, right? No longer a public servant going to
01:22:29.720
the grocery store, going to my kid's school. People would come up to me and strangers. And
01:22:34.440
then we say, what's going on with the democratic party? Why aren't they fighting? We knew what was
01:22:39.060
going to happen after this election. Why are they not prepared?
01:22:45.580
So that's it. She's angry that they abandoned Joe Biden.
01:22:52.620
It very independent minded, Megan. She's the last person in America who still believes this.
01:22:57.200
Like everyone, it's her and the Biden family. They are independent in this point.
01:23:02.920
Yes, exactly. My whole reaction to this is like, she's trying to capitalize on the way the independent
01:23:10.460
label right now is hot in the marketplace, right? Like independent media, people identify as
01:23:15.780
independents at pretty high levels right now. And so she wants to come in and look like she's someone
01:23:20.980
who is leaving the two party system behind. She's so frustrated with everything. This is a period of
01:23:26.260
very low institutional trust. So Kareem Jean-Pierre is going to come in, criticize the institutions,
01:23:30.780
and that's her ticket after the Biden era, with which she really disgraced herself. She's made
01:23:36.920
herself almost unemployable. That's just obvious here in DC. I mean, the level now, the reckoning
01:23:42.840
that's happened with Biden being allowed to, like media not criticizing him, other prominent Democrats
01:23:49.980
not criticizing him. There's been at least somewhat of a reckoning over that, which is really bad for
01:23:54.560
Kareem Jean-Pierre, because she's the one who went out and put a bright smiling face on the Biden
01:23:58.820
administration every day for years as the president was ailing behind closed doors. So she is basically
01:24:03.720
unemployable. So she got the one thing right, that people are sick of the two party system and
01:24:09.200
establishment politics and all of that. What she didn't quite have the cleverness to realize is that
01:24:15.720
clinging to this idea that Joe Biden actually should have stayed on the ticket is insane. And I
01:24:21.300
wonder who she's really spending time with that made her think that could qualify as independent
01:24:25.220
with any credibility on this book tour. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you what it's
01:24:29.640
like to be an actual political independent Kareem Jean-Pierre. In my lifetime, I voted in nine,
01:24:35.820
count them, nine presidential elections. And I have voted for Democrats in four of them and Republicans
01:24:40.720
in five of them. I have, as a broadcaster, gone toe to toe with the best of them on both sides.
01:24:47.400
I have had contentious interviews with many, many Democrats and many, many Republicans too.
01:24:52.940
I challenge both sides and have a history of doing that.
01:24:56.240
Kareem, let's check in on how Kareem's life as an independent is going because she did elaborate
01:25:02.600
a little bit more. Maybe she's coming over to where I am. Let's check out SOT 42.
01:25:08.520
Met as an independent myself. I did read a few of these passages and go,
01:25:13.580
it really feels like you're setting this up as Democrats versus Republicans.
01:25:22.260
No, here's the thing. What I'm trying to highlight is the system is indeed broken. We need a two-party
01:25:29.000
system that's functioning, that's actually functioning in order for our democracy to work.
01:25:33.440
And what's happening right now, it is not working.
01:25:35.960
If you're really an independent, though, how can you rule out a whole party? I mean,
01:25:39.060
presumably, I don't know where you live. There might be a candidate who's Republican who you
01:25:44.280
I mean, look, right now, where the Republican Party is in this moment, me, I care about the
01:25:50.660
vulnerable communities out there. Project 2025 is something that they're touting and they're
01:25:58.340
Ah, OK. So she's only independent insofar as she wants the ability to say,
01:26:03.840
you should have stuck by Joe Biden. You know why, Emily? Because there was nothing wrong with Joe
01:26:09.680
Biden. I'm just going to give you one more. This is Corrine Jean-Pierre describing her ride
01:26:15.000
on Air Force One to the disastrous debate of his. It's out 39.
01:26:21.800
Biden, you said you're a member of the inner circle and you never saw the decline.
01:26:26.120
And after that, I wrote, how? You even write, Corrine, that you were on the plane with him going
01:26:33.580
Well, when we were on Air Force One going on the going to the debate, you got to remember his
01:26:38.620
campaign. People were on the team. His family was on the team. I actually was one of those
01:26:43.400
rare trips that I didn't really see him until after the debate, even though I was on the plane.
01:26:48.180
So really, I take I want everybody to know that I take this question incredibly seriously. I do.
01:26:55.620
I was his White House press secretary, which means I had a role that saw him practically every day
01:27:00.600
and traveled with him. And you saw another more than 95 percent. We've always said we're not going
01:27:05.440
to say, oh, he didn't age. He aged and he poked fun at it. We always owned up. And with age comes
01:27:12.260
what happens when you get older. OK, who is we? I'll talk about us as a show when I sit in this
01:27:20.200
anchor desk because it's a little less self-aggrandizing than I made the decision and I
01:27:24.900
whatever. And a lot of what we do here is a team effort. She's not a we. She's she doesn't have a
01:27:30.820
job. She no longer has a team. We we've always said we you mean you. Why don't you just own it?
01:27:37.200
She's somehow doing a we thing here as cover for the fact that she did cover up for Joe Biden.
01:27:44.740
But since it's a we, it's more like we saw what we saw. We all saw the same thing. We didn't see the
01:27:51.360
decline. But we've always acknowledged that, you know, he was getting older.
01:27:57.340
What garbage also from Gail King, Megan, who's asking Karine Jean-Pierre, how did you not see it?
01:28:04.140
Gail King, you cover the news every single morning. How did you not see it and take it seriously?
01:28:08.160
Part of the reason we don't have a functional two party system is that the media is wildly
01:28:13.080
dysfunctional and in the tank for one of the parties. Therefore, there were no incentives from
01:28:17.980
the media on major Democrats to disown Joe Biden and disown the DNC's efforts to push other people
01:28:24.760
out of running in a primary against Joe Biden. I mean, that like Karine Jean-Pierre is absolutely
01:28:29.880
correct. The system is not functioning. Part of that is because of journalists. And the other part of
01:28:34.340
that is because you have so much consolidated control in the Democratic Party, which she's not
01:28:39.460
talking about one bit that allowed people like her to go out there without any shame,
01:28:44.940
hold her head high and act as though everything was normal, threaten. If you talk to Alex Thompson,
01:28:50.220
I'm sure he'll tell you the the incentives were stacked against reporting one single thing about
01:28:56.240
Joe Biden's ailing health until the very end when there was a Wall Street Journal story like a month
01:29:00.800
before the debate. But the reason is that and I think journalists should have made much more courageous
01:29:05.480
decisions. But the reason is that they were being threatened by people like Karine Jean-Pierre with
01:29:09.480
losing all of their access to the Democratic Party and the Biden White House. So give me a break.
01:29:16.040
And Gail, I mean, in her defense, Emily, she was doing astronaut training. She could not be
01:29:21.300
responsible for also following the decline in the acuity. Give her a break. I'm sure she's behind
01:29:27.280
the scenes doing the note, you know, sub zero temperatures. You still have to function just like
01:29:32.220
Alan Shepard, you know, because she's the new Alan Shepard. Just ask her the other place she could have
01:29:37.480
found out if she were busy with the astronaut thing is her best friend, Oprah, who I'm sure also
01:29:43.060
knew just like Gail very clearly knew because she's shocked that Karine didn't know. So clearly Gail
01:29:48.300
also didn't know, which means I guess Oprah didn't know. No one knew, which explains why Oprah,
01:29:55.100
when she got to sit with Kamala Harris, didn't say, why didn't you tell us? Instead, she said,
01:30:00.360
Kamala Harris. And then that was it. That was pretty much it.
01:30:06.980
Well, and Gail King is in these elite circles like she does not cover politics every single day
01:30:14.420
on CBS. It's unbelievable. She's been on David Geffen's yacht with the Obamas and not said a word
01:30:20.220
about it during her coverage. So if anyone was in a position to know that people had had concerns
01:30:26.600
behind the scenes about Joe Biden's health, it would, you know, it have been Gail King.
01:30:31.960
You don't think they're talking about that on David Geffen's yacht. I think they were talking
01:30:35.420
about that on David Geffen's yacht. 100 percent. She knew they all knew they were part of the cover
01:30:41.020
up. But here's Karine Jean-Pierre, a little bit more of her. What? Shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Stop 40.
01:30:48.220
But when we talk about the mental acuity, and again, I take this very, very seriously.
01:30:52.740
I never saw anyone who wasn't there. I saw someone who was always engaged. I saw someone who understood
01:31:00.060
policy, pushed us on the policy, and also understood history. And there were times,
01:31:06.540
I'll tell you the story, there were times where he would call me into the Oval Office,
01:31:10.720
and I would be like, oh no, oh no, because I knew whatever he was going to ask me was going to be
01:31:15.540
direct, was going to be about a story he read, about how we're pushing back, how we're pushing a
01:31:20.060
message for. Well, that I believe, because she's an idiot. And at his worst, Joe Biden was smarter
01:31:25.380
than Karine Jean-Pierre. I'm sure she did panic every time she got called in there.
01:31:29.240
Oh shit. Let's talk about the Nobel Prize. The nobles? Well, this year, Mr. President,
01:31:34.860
the nobles are thinking about giving it to someone noble. That's all I have for you so far.
01:31:38.980
I mean, truly, she really might have been the dumbest person in the White House ever.
01:31:45.740
And she was in Kamala Harris's White House. She wasn't well liked in the White House either. And
01:31:52.340
we only know that because now that she's of little use to people in the Democratic Party,
01:31:56.500
because only after Kamala Harris lost, was it okay to talk about what happened to Joe Biden and what
01:32:00.400
happened and what went wrong in the administration. A lot of the stuff that was happening behind the
01:32:05.400
scenes is now out in public, that she was nobody's favorite. She wasn't super well respected. And
01:32:11.300
it's kind of obvious to see why. I mean, there are a lot of different choices for that job that
01:32:17.300
probably would have been better than Karine Jean-Pierre. But she was probably also one of
01:32:21.060
the few people willing to say for the next several years, I'm going to go out there every single day
01:32:26.400
and represent Joe Biden, who is ailing. It's actually probably not super easy to get people
01:32:31.600
to fill that role because you can see the writing on the wall if you're a cynical Democrat in the year
01:32:36.240
2022 that, hey, Joe Biden's on his way out. The Biden family, however this thing ends,
01:32:42.500
the Biden family has access to power and their ability to influence the country is coming to an
01:32:47.260
end very, very quickly. So she's probably part of a very small pool of candidates who are willing to
01:32:52.440
put a brave face and a smiling face on the Biden administration every single day, knowing what
01:32:56.740
so many people knew behind closed doors. She thought that that was going to be her way forward,
01:33:01.400
that that was going to get her on her next J-O-B just to be loyal to Joe Biden. And in the end,
01:33:06.380
what Karine Jean-Pierre cares about is, oh, it didn't work. Our buttons must be down because of
01:33:14.940
this weird internet shortage. Me, that's what she cares about. Me. Okay. I'm going to give you,
01:33:22.320
to your point, a little feedback, just a little feedback we got from just the tease of her book
01:33:27.240
in June. This was reported by Axios. Biden world goes scorched earth on Karine Jean-Pierre.
01:33:33.280
One former White House official who worked closely with her, quote, she was one of the most
01:33:36.620
ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. She had meltdowns after any interview that
01:33:41.880
asked about a topic not sent over by producers. Who is that? What producer is sending Karine Jean-Pierre
01:33:49.180
the topics for her or her boss in advance? That's completely unethical. Okay. A former Biden
01:33:55.960
communications official, quote, the hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider
01:34:02.100
when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power, which bestows the
01:34:07.300
name recognition needed to sell books off your name, but have actively wielded it from the biggest
01:34:12.340
pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate. It's difficult to see how this is anything
01:34:17.780
but a bizarre cash grab. Right on, former Biden's communications official. I agree with you,
01:34:23.240
but I do want to give you a few excerpts from the book in a, in a dramatic reading. Emily
01:34:28.920
Jashinsky, you see what you, what you think of what she's saying in this book. Okay. She writes
01:34:34.920
about how she did the zoom call with Biden when he announced to the staff that he was stepping down
01:34:39.520
and going to give it to Kamala right, right before he did it. On the call, Biden seemed to be totally
01:34:44.520
at peace with his decision, but I was stunned. My feelings a blur. I was angry and sad. I was enraged
01:34:51.700
and heartbroken that this man had given more than 50 years of his life to serving the American
01:34:56.040
people. And in the end, he'd been treated poorly by members of his own party. It was horrible,
01:35:02.240
horrible. I say, Emily, she would continue with, Oh, this is one of my favorite parts.
01:35:06.260
So she, then she writes about how that day or within two days, she had agreed to go on the view
01:35:13.060
and the white house press corps wanted her to do a briefing, but she didn't. Okay. She writes as
01:35:20.920
follows. Uh, okay. Stand by. Uh, the white house, uh, correspondence association wanted a briefing.
01:35:28.900
We never did briefings when the president was away and that we briefly considered my going to Delaware
01:35:33.300
to speak to reporters there. We decided against changing things up and setting a precedent. We
01:35:37.700
didn't want to maintain the white house correspondence association wasn't happy about it. They wanted us to
01:35:43.020
get rid of protocol, but we stuck to our guns. My first on the record interview in front of cameras,
01:35:49.100
since the president decided to not seek reelection would be Tuesday on the view. I decided to go ahead
01:35:56.040
with my previously scheduled appearance on the view, seeing it as an opportunity to lift up the president
01:36:02.600
and in so doing raise my spirits as well. Stand by one more. She goes on the view and you tell me
01:36:12.400
what this paragraph is about. The hosts and the audience were wonderful. They understood,
01:36:20.180
they empathized, they were kind. After we finished chatting, Whoopi Goldberg told me to text her.
01:36:28.120
Sunny Hostet said, I've been doing a great job. Joy Behar said, I needed to come back on. Sarah Haynes gave me
01:36:36.720
a big hug. And Alyssa Farah Griffin, the show's designated Republican, said she'd been watching
01:36:45.060
my briefings and praised how I conducted myself. Boom, mic drop. Here I come, ladies of the view.
01:36:56.840
And the view, as we know, is representative of American women. Every view is represented on the
01:37:02.300
view, Megan. So if you get their approval, then you are beloved by the people. That is a sign
01:37:08.380
that you are beloved by the people. And actually, I think I figured out the math here. Because
01:37:13.100
Karine Jean-Pierre's only constituency, her only remaining constituency has to be the Biden family
01:37:18.300
and the Biden inner circle, which as we've seen from Hunter's recent interviews, is still convinced,
01:37:22.960
like Karine Jean-Pierre is, that the right thing to do was for Biden to stay in it and that he got
01:37:27.580
railroaded by all of these other Dems. This is a book for that constituency. That's all it is. She
01:37:33.940
put the independent packaging on it because she had some recognition that's what people want.
01:37:38.440
But the only audience, this is an audience of one family. And it's Biden, it's the Biden family and
01:37:43.400
the remaining Biden insiders who are standing by their loyalty to Joe Biden because they really have
01:37:48.520
no other option. And she just wants to make them see her loyalty because it's her only way to have
01:37:54.660
any, any influence, power or access to money in the future. It's just them because she's so
01:38:01.740
thoroughly disqualified herself with everyone outside of that. I would say even The View at
01:38:06.640
this point, Megan, will be tough on Karine Jean-Pierre. There's no way The View is hiring her.
01:38:10.840
There's no way they're hiring her. She is too dumb even for those ladies. Now, what does that say?
01:38:17.600
Can you imagine knowing that, looking at yourself in the mirror in the mornings? You're too dumb to be
01:38:22.360
cast on The View? I mean, that's, that's deeply alarming. But here's, here's the one thing she
01:38:27.480
has going for her. Sonny Hostin's running circles. Yep.
01:38:30.120
Oh my God. She's got this going for her. She talks about this in the context of,
01:38:35.100
how could I leave the Democratic Party? It had defined my life, my career, everything I'd done
01:38:41.940
to make people's lives better had been connected to it. The party was the vehicle that allowed me not
01:38:47.180
just to have a front seat to history, working first on Obama's presidential campaign and then
01:38:52.040
in his administration, but also to make some history of my own as the first black woman,
01:38:59.960
an openly queer person to ever be a White House press secretary.
01:39:05.560
Sorry. Little old me. Me. Did she think, you know what, Megan? Actually, this is interesting
01:39:15.100
because I wonder if this book had come out 2022, 2023, just in that environment, maybe these
01:39:20.620
identity politics would have actually like overcompensated, like that the balance would
01:39:25.820
have been that the media still treated her really well. Yeah. Or like the media would have been like,
01:39:30.080
oh yes, you are the first black queer woman to be the White House press secretary.
01:39:33.560
We are going to ignore all of this other stuff, but that moment has passed.
01:39:38.100
Like this is, this is a post 2024 country. And even the media isn't going to give you a pass for
01:39:43.160
being the first black queer woman to stand behind the podium. Well, it started with Don Lemon.
01:39:48.180
Remember when the Chris Licht came in and it was like, oh my God, Don Lemon is obviously the first,
01:39:52.600
I'm black, I'm black and I'm queer. He did. He was literally on the night, literally said on the
01:39:57.280
prime time of CNN, I'm black and I'm gay, black and gay. And he still got fired. That's how bad he was.
01:40:03.400
And that was peak wokeism when he got kicked out. Now she's trying that trick here to try to get
01:40:08.780
rehired. And I mean, licking the high heels. Well, they don't probably wear high heels on the view.
01:40:16.500
I think I see Whoopi in like combat boots, licking the combat boot. Yeah. The Crocs
01:40:21.640
of Whoopi Goldberg. They were, I mean, have you ever heard something so pathetic? What a sycophant.
01:40:28.600
The hosts and the audience were wonderful. They understood. They empathized. They were kind.
01:40:34.260
Whoopi Goldberg told me to text her like on her own private cell phone number. Sunny Austin said,
01:40:41.080
I'd been doing a great job. Joy Behar said I needed to come back on. Sarah Haynes,
01:40:46.900
she gave me a big hug. And even Farrah Griffin said she'd been watching me and praised how I
01:40:53.900
conducted myself. That is called drivel small talk that they were making this moron who was the
01:41:01.120
gateway to the White House. Like I love that she actually treated it as real. It's like when people
01:41:06.760
get these fake awards at these ceremonies and they treat them as real. It's like, don't you know,
01:41:10.860
you only got a fake award because they wanted to get you there. So have like their event,
01:41:14.300
you know, like I get embarrassed when people pretend this shit is real. They were kissing
01:41:18.880
your ass because you were a gateway into people who actually do matter, not because you actually
01:41:23.200
were great at your job. Give you the last word, EJ. To put the, well, I was going to say to put the
01:41:27.280
small talk in the book, like it is some type of genuine point of her credibility is really funny.
01:41:34.180
And I think it does really like that's, that is, it puts it all, ties it all up with a bow very
01:41:38.960
nicely and encapsulates problems with Corrine Jean-Pierre. Just a total like elite obsessed
01:41:45.060
with remaining elite and no self-awareness. I feel like Corrine Jean-Pierre and this Danica
01:41:50.420
Kennedy, who's also black, you know, the lady from the video could, could spend some time together.
01:41:56.540
I feel like a friendship could be born there that maybe they could start their own alternative view
01:42:00.240
as like an expat, two expats in a way. Well, right. Two independent minded people.
01:42:07.200
Yeah. Right. I actually think you're the one who needs to hang out with Danica Kennedy. I would
01:42:12.180
love to see that. I want to get to know her better. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. You're not wrong.
01:42:16.660
Debbie Murphy, get me her number. Emily, thank you. Go see us both in Texas this Friday,
01:42:23.140
megankelly.com for the tickets. Thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show. No BS,
01:42:29.780
no agenda and no fear. Okay. Want to know about something positive and upbeat? Well,
01:42:37.120
I've been telling you about firecracker farm, hot salt. It's been a showstopper gift and must have
01:42:43.020
