Megyn Kelly: Taylor Swift’s Extremist Transgender Ideology, Debate Reaction, & Cable News Collapse
I am genuinely honored to introduce. Megan Kelly who I could talk for like an. hour about actually since I know Megan. Kelly really well and I would just say a. couple things about Megan Kelly Megan. Kelly's well she was at the company that. we once worked for it was a TV company. uh based in New York City on 6th Avenue. and um I got there after being fired. from a couple of different jobs and uh. and so I was like totally powerless and. you know disgraced or there I've had. many firings but I was in the middle in.
between firings at the time and Megan. Kelly was the was the dominant person. there cuz she was the most talented. person in the building just like pure. talent and um Megan Kelly for reasons. that I've never even asked her I don't. know the answer went out of her way to. help me like to such an extent I didn't. even really know Megan Kelly but Megan. Kelly went out of her way and I mean out. of her way like at risk to herself like. in some meeting you know I don't know. that guy he's kind of a buffoon no he's. good you should promote him and I don't.
again I don't know why she did that well. I do know why actually because Megan. Kelly is actually a really decent. person and if you're which I shouldn't. even have to say but if you're a lawyer. on TV which she is like you would not. want to be cross-examined by Megan Kelly. at all um that would be a nightmare you. would lose actually probably get the. death penalty for whatever the. offense I'm just laid up my electrical. bill just s Quenton you know she's. tough It's really striking to see what a.
truly graceful and gracious person she. is and I've just lived that firsthand. she's also you know just the smartest. and the coolest so with that ladies and. gentlemen Megan. [Music]. Kelly. wow this is cool wow this is so. beautiful thank. you thank you can I say one other thing. about Megan Kelly before let Meg and.
Kelly talk I'm not going to say much if. so if you spend your life in a studio. it's just so interesting you have total. control over everything and most people. who don't who who do that really don't. like Live. Events 99% in fact the most Talent of. people you know on television and radio. do not like to be in large rooms full of. people cuz they they're uncomfortable. around people Megan is the exception to. that and I think it just shows her love. of people and I just really noticed that. today can you believe.
he didn't know why I kept telling them. Tucker's good trust me he's the only one. who doesn't understand that it was. obvious to anyone with eyes and ears. what a star he was whether it was. weekend Fox and Friends or in the prime. time of fox always been a Believer it. was not obvious to everyone I will say. that including some of my relatives but. thank you so much it was obvious to the. Smart Ones so okay so I'm at lunch today. we land we're in Tulsa this morning land. here land within 30 minutes I'm at a.
barbecue place behaving like an animal. um overeating all kinds of stuff on my. shirt I really disgraced myself Telly. means about this it was disgusting I. have to get under control but this. couple came up to me and they're like oh. we just came from Dallas cuz we heard. Megan I said we're going to Dallas she's. like yeah but we came to see Megan okay. cool and they're like you have to ask. Megan about Taylor. Swift and no this happened to me this. just this I know and I'm dimly aware of.
who Taylor Swift is cuz I don't have a. TV okay so I don't go on the internet. much and then I come here and someone's. like are you going to ask her about. Taylor. Swift I got thoughts. so it's a sincere question why are. people telling me to ask you that and do. you think Taylor Swift who apparently. endorsed Carmela Harris just the other. day will have I know oh I know I'm not. here to endorse Taylor Swift trust. me will this have an effect what's the. significance of this uh I don't know. whether it will have an effect I mean.
supposedly some 350,000 people have. rushed to some website to register to. vote or express interest in potentially. doing that but young people don't. generally vote and I don't think people. who at this point in the election cycle. had not registered to vote are not going. to do it because of Taylor Swift but. let's set that to to the. side screw you Taylor. Swift that's how I would like to. begin this woman.
has got how she's a billionaire I I saw. her amazing mansion in Rhode Island I. went to some Hotel there and there it is. up on a cliff you've never seen a more. beautiful home it's one of what 20 she's. got so many gifts thanks to all of you. thanks to your daughters who you. probably had to drag to her concerts and. you want to make your daughter happy and. so you didn't and it's true whether. you're a Republican or a Democrat and. how does she thank this nation she turns. around not only does she pick a side in.
a hotly contested presidential election. alienating at least half of her fan base. but she says the reason she's voting for. Comm Harris is because of Tim walls'. lgbtq. stance do you know what Tim Walls has. done on the lgbtq front Tim W let me let. me tell you what's going to happen Okay. well here's what's going to happen a a. little girl sitting in Wisconsin who's. maybe on the Spectrum maybe has acne.
maybe is a little heavy set maybe feels. upset cuz the parents are getting. divorced something like that is going to. find herself down a rabbit hole on. Reddit and her parents aren't going to. know because they're going to divorce. and they're not focused on her right now. and she's going to spend hour after hour. on that thing and reddit's going to tell. her she's actually a boy and she's going. to get sucked into this gender cult and. she's going to say Mom and Dad I want. puberty blockers into cross- seex. hormones which will sterilize her and. deprive her of all sexual ual pleasure.
for the rest of her life and they're. going to say no you're a girl and she's. going to say but I want I want Top. surgery this benign thing this double. myectomy where I'll have tubes coming. out of me and I'll never breastfeed a. child I want that too cuz I'm a boy and. they're going to say no and she's going. to go to a judge in. Minnesota and because of Tim Walls the. court will take custody of her use the. Medicaid funds in Minnesota to provide. her all of those things chop off her. breasts sterilize her with the puberty.
blockers into the cross- seex hormones. and when this girl inevitably comes to. the conclusion that she didn't want any. of this that it only added to her. problems which were the divorce and the. acne and the puberty and not any trans. issue who is she going to go to then. this is all because of Tim wals that's. what Minnesota is doing right now to. little girls and boys taking custody. away from the parents so that they can. have these procedures without any loving. parent there to help and that's what. Taylor Swift Just endorsed for your. children so screw you Taylor.
Swift that is. um first of all thank you for saying. that and pardon my ignorance this is one. of those topics that's so upsetting to. me I have too many children I think um. they can take custody yeah there's a law. that Tim wall signed that says the court. can take jurisdiction which in this. instance means custody over minor. children who are not getting the gender. affirming care which is a lie you.
there's only two Sexes gender's. there's men and there's women one cannot. become the. other and he signed a law saying that. they can take jurisdiction over minor. children who are not being affirmed by. their children and get all of those. procedures done outside of any. connection your parents will have. nothing to do with it they won't have. access to. you that's so dark yeah I have to say I. look at you were describing how Rich. Taylor Swift.
is why isn't she happy good question I. mean listen I there's what is she like. 32 I don't know what she is she's she's. young she's never had a relationship at. Works she makes a lot of money out about. off of writing about it um that could be. part of the problem like to the for the. reasons you were just discussing when. you find true love when you have. somebody who loves you unconditionally. you know warts and all that's everything. and she hasn't been able to find it. she's made a lot of money off of it and. think she travels from from City to City.
without the grounding that you have that. I have that hopefully all of you have. and maybe she's feeling untethered maybe. she's feeling empty and lost and maybe. she wants other people to make the. similar decisions in life as she has. because people feel validated when you. do that uh and I think that's why she's. misleading these kids she doesn't have. the core that that you you should have. before you ever advise somebody on. electoral politics I totally agree right. I completely agree so I it's a very dark.
day and I feel like she betrayed all the. moms and dads who put who took their. little girls there and fostered a. relationship of fandom not knowing that. she would then turn around and try to. trans your kid or bless the man who's. doing it whether he's the Minnesota. Governor or God forbid the vice. president boy you just made such a deep. Point almost offhandedly as you do. almost parenthetically but that she. doesn't have the grounding to be. advising on a question like this like. would you buy real estate from a. homeless person or would you take.
investment advice from Bernie maid off. like why would I ever take an important. piece of Life advice from someone whose. life is a disaster right if she wants to. tell me how to sing the song I mean okay. I guess I'll listen to that but you know. I think it was a comedian Andrew Schulz. who said we'd just be so much better off. if people would just do the thing. they're supposed to do right if the. actor would just act and the singer. would just sing and the basketball. player would just play. basketball um I don't want her life. advice on anything but what's so ious. about this is that we've inadvertently.
thankfully not yours truly but most most. parents have with tween girls have. inadvertantly fostered a relationship. between this person and their daughters. and allowed her to become a role model. to them and now she takes advantage of. that by looking at these young girls. saying vote Harris walls because you can. get an abortion at any age and at any. term under them because you can turn. into a boy under them because unlike. what they said at the debate you can try.
to abort your baby and it can be bornn. on the table and we can just let it sit. there without any medical care under. Harris Waltz that is a thing. notwithstanding the fake fact check by. ABC News. sick it. it's it's hard to see though Taylor. Swift in isolation I'm just guessing. here but if she's really in her early. 30s and she's made a billion dollars in. the music business I don't have a ton of. her albums myself um I can't even assess. her music but she's a product of a.
system and she's got to to some large. extent be acting on behalf of that on. the the American entertainment system. which is to some exent a propaganda. system like this is an indictment of a. whole industry kind of I mean the part. the problem with big movies and big you. know rock and roll or records or pop is. a lot of people who are drawn to those. Industries are empty inside to begin. with and we saw a flash of this in a. brilliant moment at the Oscars this year.
where to his credit Robert Downey Jr got. up there and he won for best actor I. think or or supporting one or the other. for Oppenheimer and the very first thing. he said was I'd like to thank my. terrible. childhood right and some people are. self-aware and they get through that and. the vast majority are not and do not and. so they go to these industries like. becoming a pop singer or becoming an a. Hollywood actor because they're seeking. fame and to fill a void they think that. these artifices are going to do it you.
know if I can just become rich if the. people will just love me um if people. will give me a golden statue somehow. I'll feel validated like I matter like. none of the bad stuff that happened to. me is consequential and what they. inevitably find is it fills no voids it. only adds to their problems all the. emptiness is still there this is what. happened to Matthew Perry among many. many others and I think you know I don't. want to psychoanalyze Taylor Swift but I. don't think this level of Fame is. healthy for anyone we've started to make.
her some sort of a an idol and that's. sick on our part I I I try to counter. program this with my kids all the time. saying she's she's sing she's a singer. she sings some good songs that's it. that's it she's not someone to look up. to and and let this be a lesson to us. all that we don't Foster that kind of a. relationship with a stranger who's. chosen to go into one of these very. damaging Industries because then they've. got your kid in the palm of their hand. and they can use that power for evil.
that is so wise. um everything you've said is really wise. and I wonder why I mean you've just said. directly or by implication more about. what it takes to become fulfilled what a. what a what a full life actually looks. like that I've heard from any leader in. our country like maybe ever so why does. no one ever get honest with people no. one with a position of you know. Authority or with a big audience about. what it actually looks like to live a. happy fulfilled life oh wait because so.
we could have added politicians into our. list of the people who go to Hollywood. and the people who go into you know the. rock and roll industry to become famous. just as easily I mean this is one of the. problems with our politicians today I I. was talking to the guys from the all-in. podcast you know them and they were. saying you know name a politician you. like and I was like you're going to have. to play the Jeopardy sounds like I don't. you know it's really hard to think about.
somebody yes there are some but you got. to really think about it because we've. created this Congressional system that. produces. Kardashians it's people who want to. become famous look at AOC she doesn't. want to govern she wants to be famous. that's what she wants she's on Instagram. all the time looking at herself which is. just the vinest app it's just the vinest. of the apps because she wants you to be. looking at her half of them are posting. pictures of their bottoms who wants to. look at anyone's ass.
anyway um that's they're using please. don't answer. [Laughter]. that they're using it as a springboard. for attention they don't actually want. to govern us you know and they want to. Parlay it into money and use all their. followers and feel like they matter with. their woke ideology because it's mostly. on the left there's some on the right so. that's why we have no one we can look up. to there's no one in politics you should. look up to we really need to look. outside of it for our leaders what's in. interesting you don't have to answer.
this question if you don't want but just. given the pretty amazing trajectory of. your own life you're a lawyer in DC like. an actual lawyer not a TV lawyer and. then you become you know like the most. famous person in. television I mean that actually happened. to you you became incredibly famous I. don't think you set out to be you're a. lawyer how did that experience shape the. views that you just. articulated yes because I never was. attracted to fame if anything it was a. downside of becoming more popular in.
what we do right it's it's a blessing in. some ways right because people follow. you and they show up and and this is. this is a blessing but the downside is. you lose your anonymity you lose your. privacy and it's just another false idol. and you really can't fall into that. because otherwise you become an ugly. person you truly become an unattractive. person and so as I became more welln. Doug and I started to get invol invited. to more fancy things espe especially. after that debate with Trump the left.
loved me remember that and they started. inviting me to all these fancy parties. and I was like I I sure I guess I'll go. to this you know huge Hollywood party. and meet all these aess stars and see. what that's like I'll tell you what it. was like. torture it was. torture I felt around them the same you. guys would feel around them I didn't. know what to say to them I had. absolutely nothing in common with them. it seemed like a bunch of vapid empty. people who only wanted to sneak could. peek around me to see who else was there.
or over there in the mirror and there. was absolutely nothing of consequence to. discuss with anyone there who they're. obsessed with their latest movie or what. role they might get nominated for and. all I could think was where is the. accountant who planned this thing who. will talk to me like a real. person so I didn't enjoy it and I. recognized that it was false you know. that it it wasn't real and I was always. very glad that I had Doug with me for. these events because he's very grounded. very normal and I would say one of the. biggest blessings of sort of that period.
of my life ending was getting away from. those people so you didn't feel that's. just interesting because a lot of people. who you know go through different. periods in their lives like they're. always hoping to get back to the Oscar. party oh God no oh God no no I mean I. went oh this is another one I went to. the Met Gala and a win tour I mean you. could freeze ice on her. ass she so I went she had me meet with. her at her Tower downtown before this.
event and it was she thinks she's a head. of state this woman I mean I'm walking. down the hallway to go into her suite. and you've got like 10 guys with the. Janet Jackson headset like and she's. we're walking we're 10 ft we're 5T I'm. like no one wants to kill Anna Wintour. so just like stop and you get in there. and she's of course eating like two peas. because she has absolutely no you're not. allowed to have any B body fat and. fashion and um. then she starts lecturing me about.
politics trying to figure out whether. I'm pro-life trying to figure out. whether I'm Pro truth like what what. businesses of yours anyway it was. painful and the me Galla was downright. painful and all these celebrities who. are all over the Oscars and these. Academy Awards and uh Golden Globes. lecturing us on how to be better people. are in the Ladies Room snorting coke and. dry humping one another while their. spouses are out there with my own eyes. and my husband's all names you would. know smoking in the met with like where.
some of our most precious works of art. are absolutely totally disrespectful and. what I realize is these people are. disgusting and what I want to do is go. home right now and talk to my neighbor. who's a fireman and the lady across the. street who's a teacher and like touch. grass and get back to actual. people a lot of people seem to have been. reaching the same conclusion recently. which is that being a little healthier. being spiritually grounded eating right. paying attention to Nature all of those. really matter. sleep takes up a big portion of your day.
like onethird of your life is spent. asleep and sleeping well makes you much. happier and more productive so you. shouldn't be surprised that some of the. products that we've been looking at to. think about entering into Partnerships. with are based on sleep and we've got. one we really like it's called cozy. Earth cozy earth makes among other. things bamboo sheets bamboo sheets well. we tried them and they're awesome bambo. sheets are really soft and breathable. and they keep keep you cool all night. long and they get even softer with every.
wash you got to try it and they don't. just make sheets they do pajamas and. robes Leisure wear bath towels you make. a whole bunch of stuff out of bamboo and. it's cool it's not just this weird oh. it's bamboo actually it's great um try. it they make great gifts at cozy Earth. the quality is backed up by a 10-year. warranty they offer even a 100 night. sleep trial 100 nights hm didn't take us. 100 nights to get into it but try it for. yourself so make your life more.
comfortable head over to Cozy earth.com. Tucker and use the promo code Tucker for. up to 40% off you will feel the. difference cozy earth.com Tucker and use. the promo code Tucker for a big. discount wow that is such a vivid. picture so I've heard you report in the. epsteen story many times and you never. seem shocked is this why yeah no no I. mean there's a reason that that stayed. quiet for so long and I'm you there are. a lot of people who are still quaking in.
their boots scared to death about what. may come out you know and I said this on. my show and I'll say it to you all too. it's not that Jeffrey Epstein's alive I. want to clarify that at least not to my. knowledge but you will be hearing from. Jeffrey Epstein I think in some point in. the next 12 months and I know the person. who is going to bring it to you and I've. heard the thing myself this is not BS. you'll see. so w without without.
divulging um you know the details that. you can't divulge and I should just say. I never I didn't know what to think of. that story and I became I got to know. his brother pretty well and and I'm I. think he was murdered that's my view. yeah I never thought I would think that. but I do think that um but how big is. that story do you think the one that I'm. talking about well the Epstein story. itself I mean oh oh I mean I think it's. got tentacles everywhere I mean I I. really do think that absolutely. disgusting not just I mean Jeffrey.
Epstein liked young girls but he didn't. like 8-year-olds right but I think that. there are multiple people in the. Hollywood industry in particular who do. yes ew thank you and I think the same. people who are behind some of the films. that we see see right now where this. starts to get normalized in a way where. you know there's a lot of sort of. messaging in these films you can't avoid. it like more and more it's getting. shoved down your throat they start with. like gay Romance in your face All Over. Broadway like deep tongue kissing all.
right I love my gay friends but that's a. lot and then next thing you know every. man turns into a woman in these. Productions whether it's Hollywood or on. the big stage and it's not that you have. to be a pedophile to be you know or you. have to it's not that gay people are. more likely to be pedophiles but if you. see these guys who are trying to change. the messaging on pedophilia they use our. openness to people who happen to be. lgbtq as the window to get in like we're. just on that Spectrum that's just us. we're just minor attracted people it's.
nothing to worry about like it's just. another fetish that's all it. is yeah well I mean it's dark so I I do. think it's much more widespread than. people understand and I had Cory Feldman. tell me that directly in a heated. conversation I had with him 5 years ago. heated in what way he wanted people to. talk about this yeah you know he grew up. as a child actor and you saw what. happened with. Nickelodeon you know I had some of those. kids on my show they grew up at this. with Nickelodeon who didn't have their. kids watch Nickelodeon did you have any.
idea it was such a perve fest with these. people taking advantage of young kids. and like pedophile after pedophile and. you know child pornography it was. absolutely disgusting what a place to. send your child and the people running. it accused of pushing these disgusting. messages into our kids television. programming you look at what that guy. did to Ariana Grande when she was a star. in Nickelodeon completely sexualized. this girl when she was 15 years old. riding around on the bed like she was a. porn star so I just think there are a.
lot of there are a lot of perverts out. there who control a lot of our media. whether it's the small screen or the big. screen and this is all part of it's in a. way it's like grooming us getting a used. to this kind of stuff so when they take. the next step we're okay with it and not. to mention what's happening in our. children's libraries at school. right you so I keep reading that there's. like a book burning campaign against. Great children's literature yeah no. I mean if great children's literature.
includes this stuff we're in a lot of. trouble um one of the most disgusting. things I've seen all year is 60 minutes. when they had on moms for Liberty and. Scott P who is a disgusting dishonest. broker tried to tell wait wait did you. say and I think I'm quoting Scott P is a. disgusting dishonest broker correct yes. he's about as honest as his friend. Leslie stall who said the laptop can't. be verified it can't be verified so he's. got the mom for Liberty gals there and. he's trying to tell them that we are not.
seeing books in K through 12 education. that talk about forgive me anal sex that. talk about the specifics of heterosex. that offer absolutely disgusting sex. tips to kids who are 10 and I've seen it. with my own eyes you guys have seen. enough of this out there with parents. outrageous school board meetings raising. hell over this to know Scott P has his. head up as rear end it's happening and. his denial is # part of the problem so.
it I mean you've spent now I think a. couple decades in in or around the. American news media how was your so when. you first got into it contrast the. opinions you had of it then to the ones. you have now like what are your. conclusions oh wow I mean so much has. changed I mean when I got into news it. was 2003 or 4 and I was an unhappy. lawyer like I I was done with the law. and I just wanted to try broadcast. Journal thought it would be really fun. thought it would use some of my skills.
so I didn't care I was like I got my. interview at Fox and I went in and Roger. Al's number two guy was like uh everyone. wants to work for us now that we're. number one I was like they're number one. holy I'm never going to get this. job I had no idea I didn't care I it. wasn't about ideology I didn't you know. so I didn't know much I didn't know much. about the news I wasn't political when I. was a lawyer you have no time to be. anything other than a lawyer you're not. thinking about politics unless you're a. true DC lawyer like the lobbyist I was a. litigator trying cases for big.
corporations uh and so it wasn't until I. started getting you know neck deep into. it that I realized how things worked and. thankfully I did grow up at Fox so I. never had the left wi indoctrination. shoved on me and then in the past 5 to. 10 years the ground has shifted under. all of our feet where I used to consider. myself you know center right. moderate uh and now if you take one of. those tests what are you online I'm a. farri.
conservative it's just this what happens. I I actually think the term is dangerous. extremist yeah I'm a dangerous yes sorry. threat to democracy nice to see you. here well I definitely am that's. interesting so is that that that you've. changed I mean you've seen a lot a lot I. know um or that the definitions have. changed Tucker let me I'll give you one. example you know. I used to fall for believe in some of.
the woke nonsense that's being shoved. down our throats now when it was just. baby level right now it's like grown. into huge monster level but I was one of. the people on Fox defending the whole. transgender thing back in like. 2013 and that's because like most people. I wanted to be empathetic I didn't want. to be nasty I didn't want to be bullying. and it was a very small problem back. then which so this seemed like an. appropriate reaction to it same thing on.
the race stuff you know I would get very. upset when they would attack me for. being an alleged racist you know one. time there's a whole bunch of articles. about me being an alleged racist because. I saw these gangs beating up a woman and. I said these are thugs what a bunch of. thugs cue a week of media stories about. what a racist I was I I was rattled I. was upset I was like oh my God I guess I. can't use the word Thug I mean now I'm. like they are thugs right it's like it. takes a while. yes so I needed that thicker skin and on.
the gender stuff I mean I've completely. reversed myself and I see it entirely. differently so it's just with some. growth and while they've gotten more. pernicious and I've been paying. attention my worldview on these issues. has entirely changed well but I would. also say that like a lot of people I bet. a lot of people in this room you had. your decency Le leveraged against you. yeah you know you had the moral. Advantage but the political disadvantage. of really sincerely wanting to be a good.
person and not hurt someone's feelings. out I mean this is like the way that. people who are trying to be good people. think like I don't want to hurt anyone. else I don't you know there a lot of. hurting people out there I don't want to. make it worse like you really try to be. decent and they take that instinct and. they use it against you yes and then you. learn there's no amount of subjugation. that is okay for them you must be on. your knees forever. and I do think one of the reasons why.
wait can you just stop and explain that. a little more that's so interesting. there's no enough there there's not. enough uh ring kissing that you can do. because even if you kiss the ring I mean. let's go back to the Trump thing so the. left loved me after that Trump debate. and they thought that I was secretly you. know a trump hater that I I was I was a. wolf and sheep's clothing um at Fox News. and I was going to take down the. Republican party all I wanted to do is. ask a really hard debate question and I. asked one of him and I asked one of. everybody just like i' had done it all.
the presidential debates that I. moderated so then they started to love. me right they're like oh we love you we. love you and then I got a job offer at. NBC and for all sorts of reasons I left. cuz my time at Fox was done for a number. of reasons some of which you may have. read about in the paper and um so I go. over to NBC and the one of the first. things I said to them was just in case. you're thinking I am a secret liberal. waiting to let my liberal flag fly I'm. not I'm exactly who you saw saw me on. the air as you know I'm somebody who's.
more center right in my political. beliefs but I try to play it straight on. the air fine fine fine do you think that. that was my experience when I went over. there with those leftists that was not. my experience but having said that that. experience was a gift to me such a gift. to me yes I learned so much and not just. about like okay I got fired so I I. learned things although I technically. wasn't fired um my show was canceled but. the rest remains a matter of contract. mystery been there um.
yeah but I learned this lesson I learned. this lesson and I'll take you back to. the whole blackface controversy okay if. I may so I I the reason my show ended is. because we had a conversation on the air. about blackface Halloween costumes and I. was saying you know when did it become. racist cuz when I grew up in the 70s and. I remember this was on TV it was on the. movies it was on like the Christmas. special like i' had seen it it wasn't. clearly something that all of society. was saying don't do this not talking. about minstrel's face black face but. talking about these Halloween costumes.
and that's it that's all I said and that. was that was the Cardinal Sim wait so. you didn't burn a cross on the set at. all that's not true no and by the way. NBC was airing like four shows within. two years of that comment with people in. blackf face um so okay I've never worn. black face um I was just trying to have. a conversation about but so but that's. irrelevant what I'm trying to say is I. learned that these people are not. sincere brokers they're not actually. outraged over anything I said or Joy.
bear would be fired over ABC News. because she put her blackface pictures. on the air and celebrated it um I could. go down the list Ted Danson who was. starring on NBC at that moment in a show. about heaven and hell he wore minstral. show blackace whoopy Goldberg wrote The. Skit for him and she too is a host on. The View over at ABC scrubs a couple of. people wore black face on the air and. they were PR we could go down the list. and so for me it was very eye openening.
cuz at first my instincts were I should. go back out on the air and I should. explain to people no no no don't be. offended I can show you all these. examples of what I'm talking about I'm. not endorsing it I'm saying I noticed it. and it changed and I realized what are. you doing these are not people who are. honestly mad at you for what you said. they're mad at the voice you've been. bringing because you probably didn't. watch my show at NBC nobody did um but I.
was saying conservative things I was. defending Brett kavanau to the hilt I. was merciless on these stupid gang rape. accusers and all that BS and I do think. people were starting to recoil I. attacked Jane Fonda brutally on the air. in a 20-minute. monologue and so what they wanted was my. ruination and you cannot bargain with us. so no am of on the knee apologies.
playing their game trying to get along. or just be a nice person who tried to. look inside and say what did I do I'm. willing to self-examine would Advance. the ball at all and then you finally if. you go through something like that. graduate to the point of not giving a. damn what they say about you and it is. liberating oh bless you this is. something he knows nothing about. I can just say having spent you know.
many many many years in television I've. never seen cruler or more deceptive. Behavior toward anyone than what they. did to you at NBC and I used to work. there and I I know that they're loome I. didn't realize they were that loome um. but it sounds like you're saying it's. worth the suffering to arrive at that. point of Liberation yes so that's in the. personal and professional Lane that that. word Liberation but I also needed the. growth I needed the life lessons and.
this is one of the reasons why I do. believe in cancel culture I believe in. my being canceled and I believe in you. being canceled I enjoyed it yeah you. know because ultimately it separates you. from a company that you did not belong. at for whatever reason you know the. value systems are different and once you. get through the trauma you know when. you're going through trauma you're not. thinking about the life lessons but if. you're an introspective person then. hopefully at some point you sit back and. you reflect on what did it mean for me. what did I learn from it and I could say.
the same thing about you know fox in my. last couple of years there and that. that's something you should be thankful. for I've grown as a person I've. developed muscles I didn't have I can. handle additional challenges in a way I. never could have before I've gotten. closer to who I really am and it's. forced me to examine my own values in a. way few events will all of that is a. gift I love. that so how' you like to cut your cell. phone bill in half every single month. it's probably pretty high have you. checked it recently Verizon AT&T and.
T-Mobile want you to believe that you. have to have something called unlimited. data and maybe you're in the small. percentage that do need unlimited data. whatever that is but for most people you. do not need unlimited data and you. certainly shouldn't be forced to pay for. it that's where Pure Talk comes in Pure. Talk only charges you for the data that. you want how about that if you walked. into an ice cream parlor and they said. you can only buy 11 cones and you said I. just want one you probably wouldn't go. back would you no you go to the place.

learned a single thing sitting on the. beach over a vacation that's right ever. that's right eating french toast in bed. has not grown me as a person though I've. enjoyed it okay so I have to I just have. to ask you since I do think you're the. best legal analyst I've ever. watched let's just game out not Jeffrey. tubin. no he's better on Zoom calls but uh.
he's he's what a filthy and not just. because he's just a filthy person in. every way but um it's hard it's. [Laughter]. really amazing um so let's just say so. Trump is at at least tied I think up in. a in the Electoral account as if say. that's my belief based on the numbers. that I saw this morning let's say that. can you have no idea none of us knows. what what's going to happen but let's. just say that holds and he wins the.
election first Tuesday in. November which I personally think I'm. terrible at predictions I'm always wrong. but if I had to bet money on it I would. bet that happens what happens then. legally with the law fair yes well first. of all I know you're going to talk to. Charlie Kirk and you should definitely. be asking him about the ground game. because there's a lot in his hands thank. God for Charlie Kirk. but honestly this applies to all of you. because the the Democrats get out the.
vote effort is second to none and there. can not be any complacency none it. really is tight I think Politico had a. headline the other day like knife fight. in a foam booth and it is that tight um. so everybody it can't be in Charlie's. hands it can't be in Trump's hands and I. mean and I and especially in anything. resembling a or near a swing state um. but what happens if he wins is the. January 6th litigation and the maralago. litigation go away instantly because.
he'll be in charge of the doj and he'll. pull those attack dogs Jack Smith and. his cohorts off of those cases and. they're dead they're dead they're not. they're not going to be resurrected so. then we have Georgia which is going to. go away because Fanny Willis and Nathan. Wade couldn't keep it in their. pants so I think she's going to be. disqualified on this appeal the trial. court judge did not disqualify him but. or them but he begged if you read that. opinion he begged he said oh please. please. the stench of mendacity fills my.
courtroom an actual phrase from his. opinion not disqualifying he's an. elected official she's very popular it's. you know it's Atlanta region so this. appell at core all three of whom are. Republican uh judges are going to. disqualify her I'd be stunned if I'm. wrong so that case is going away because. there's not going to be another. prosecutor who will take it and that. leaves us with New York and our old. friend Alvin brag and I understand yeah. Boo and you can you can keep it rolling.
for all those Soros prosecutors who. don't want to prosecute any crime unless. your name is Donald. Trump um Alvin Bragg has gotten his. conviction they're going to have a. sentencing at some point I I right now. set for after the election and I think. the worst case scenario for Trump now is. jail time with a suspended sentence. meaning he won't have to serve it until. an appeal goes up and I think there's no. chance that this conviction is going to. stand because the Supreme Court ruled in.
that immunity ruling you guys know about. that right they said not only can you. not go after a president criminally for. most of his official acts but in any. case against him you can't introduce. evidence of what he did while in the. overla office well the Alvin brag. prosecution did a lot of that what was. hope Hicks doing on the stand if they. weren't introducing evidence of what. Trump was doing while President and she. was talking about her time anyway that. prosecution has to go at the conviction. has to ago because the conviction was. based in large part on evidence the.
Supreme Court has said may not be. admitted in any case that's just one. thing but even the jail time no one not. named joh Donald Trump would get jail. time for this and as soon as that judge. tries to make this a jail time case he. will appeal it up to the first appell. Division and I just don't think maybe. it'll stand there but once it get to up. to New York state court of appeals those. are still rational judges those are the. judges who threw out the Harvey. Weinstein conviction they've got stones. and they're not that afraid of politics.
they're not great it's not like our. Supreme Court uh and I think Trump will. prevail so I don't think he spends one. one day in jail and I certainly don't. think there's a judge in the land who. would put a sitting president or. president-elect in. jail are there legal mechanisms that. Marias and the rest of the democratic. lawyer Army can use to stop the electors. from certifying Trump president if he. wins they're going to try I don't know.
exactly how they'll do it they may. resurrect this he committed an. Insurrection I mean they've said that. they're going to he committed an. Insurrection and therefore he can't be. on the ballot that ultimately winds up. at the US Supreme Court and they're. going to kill it I mean honestly you. know when you're when you're feeling. down about the state of our politics or. our country this is what I do I go to. bed at night I get under my blankie and. I think about the Supreme Court. thank.
God thank God you have lawyer dreams I. do I used to call Chief Justice John. Roberts chief justice McDreamy until. Obamacare he got downgraded I met him at. an event one time it was a play in New. York at some Embassy and uh I saw him it. was one of those things where like. you're part of the play as an audience. member you kind of stand there and. you're having dinner with the cast. members and they're acting it was. actually very cool and I saw him after. it was over I went up to him and I said. nice to meet you Mr chief justice he.
said nice to meet you Megan and I said. I'm big fan I'm a big fan and he said oh. you're the one and I said oh no no I I. admire you but Obamacare was not a. principal. decision and Doug was like honey but it. wasn't what what what did he say he. laughed yeah he's a good guy look he's. he's got a different role in his mind on. the court than the rest of the justices. and you know I agree with it in part but. I don't disagree I don't agree with the. way he's been ruling but anyway we've.
got Alo we've got Thomas who seems great. like in good in good health um we'll see. you know I had Gorsuch on the show the. other day and I love how anti-regulation. he is Gorsuch is Hardcore. anti-regulation just came out with a. book talking about how big the. administrative state has gotten I think. he he would like the Javier melee point. you know he would he would like to cut. all the the federal agencies down by a. lot um so I like him although he is. responsible for Bost stock the one that. said there's a a mandate to put trans.
people in your workplace you can't. exclude them based on the basis of being. trans and that one's a little stickier. uh anyway we've got a strong Supreme. Court right now I've never seen a court. like this in my lifetime where it's 63. and it's going to take a lot to unended. unearth it now if they win control of. the. Senate and the White House and they win. control of the Senate by a lot they. could get rid of the filibuster well. they don't have to it's already got. they've already gotten rid of it for. Supreme Court Justices uh and they could. SP the court. potentially and then we'd have to march.
in the streets endlessly I mean that's. Civil War Banana Republic that we'd. have to fight not not calling for. violence but saying this would require. every street in America Disobedience. absolutely so do I mean that is a stated. goal they've said that repeatedly. getting 16-year-olds to vote having. millions of illegal aliens vote and. expanding the court they've all said. that out loud do you think they will try. the last one. packing it to pack the.
court depends on what November looks. like if they win how big is the victory. right you know if it's razor tight I. don't think they'd have the guts I I. just I don't think so but if she goes in. there thinking she has a. mandate it's a terrifying. thought it could happen it could happen. it this is not Trump's locked up he. doesn't have it locked up yet so people. need to be really clear about what could.
be coming our way if she wins and get to. the polls get your friends to the polls. get a bus and get everyone you know in. swing states to the polls and if she. wins and thinks she has a mandate and. starts doing the things she said she. would do go look at her ACLU. questionnaire that to his credit Andrew. kazinski over at CNN Unearthed and see. what she wants to do about defunding ice. and making the entire country a.
sanctuary City she said it using your. tax pay dollars to fund sex change. operations for prisoners and illegal. immigrants the country will change. dramatically and we'll have to do use. every tool in our Arsenal to fight it. and that would in definitely include law. fair you know challenges with the. current Supreme Court to stop what. they're going to try to do to it how. would you assess her record in office as. say Attorney General of State of.
California she's she refers to that a. lot my read is a non- lawyer non-legal. expert is that she doesn't have limits. in her behavior she seems totally happy. to prosecute people she doesn't like. because she doesn't like them she's your. worst nightmare Tucker because she she. loves to go after the little guy like. the drug users you know people with. these small petty crime. and that's what she did trying to. convince people she was tough on crime.
as a San Francisco da and then as. California attorney general and then as. soon as she got on the national uh board. she abandoned all that started bailing. out BLM riers started to go hardcore the. other way backing people like Kim Fox. you know the Soros prosecutor in Chicago. and so on flipped all the way over the. other way and is truly the daughter of a. Marxist and has Marxist Tendencies. herself. and is as far left as you can find I.
mean she's the most leest presidential. candidate we have ever had I think she's. farther to the left than Bernie Sanders. that's not what I read without I I read. that she was the source of all. joy have you have you read that yeah. yeah so I hear although they've gotten. rid of the joy since they had to kill. the. cackle the cat memes are my favorite. it's still a creative God it's amazing. it's amazing have you seen the Tik.
toks then they're killing cats and. they're killing dogs the that's a new a. new cat they're eating the pets that's. really that that was the high point in. American politics I mean that too. um so KLA Harris as the not to go over. what we just saw like in the last 2. months but how exactly did she become. the Democratic nominee with that anyone. voting for her is that how how can that.
happen I've never seen somebody so good. at failing. upward right it's. amazing I know you're not allowed to. talk about this but she slept her way. into California. politics it's. true I don't say it to be mean I say it. because it's true she slept with Willie. Brown which is its own skill I got to. say I mean maybe she just found him so. he was so full of magnetism he was 30. years older than she was and I said she. had no talents I mean that was not.
fair and he paved her way he paved her. way into California politics he helped. her get elected as San Francisco da and. once you're in that system as a far-left. Dem you're good of course you're going. to become the senator from that state. when the opportunity presents itself. never mind the identity politics aspect. of it and before you knew it Joe Biden. was running around promising people he'd. add a black woman to the ticket because. James kurn said you're not going to win. South Carolina unless you do that so we. did it and now she's our vice president.
and then he falls apart after the big. cover up and next thing you. know she's out there an empty vessel. pretending she's the next Obama she do. you guys know that there there was a. report by Mark Halprin who's very tied. into these Democrat circles that before. the Democratic National Convention. speech she was prepped by CIA creative. artists agency the biggest Hollywood. agency there is Brian Lord who runs it. and top Hollywood Talent on how to.
deliver her lines how to nail Her speech. now what are the odds that she when she. was hauled up for those five or six days. preparing for the debate didn't have. help like that that's what she's got if. you're the Republican candidate you show. up you've got both of the moderators and. your opponent against you you get. interrupted in every answer you get fact. checked erroneously in every answer you. get the moderator's opinion coming at. you as a fact check you get follow-ups. on everything if you try to dodge or. weave it all they will nail you to the. floor but if you're KLA Harris and.
you've said everything there is to say. about fracking and then show up and say. I've always been consistent it's thank. you madam. president the most interesting and. newsworthy television show of the year. is coming here to TCN we are not. bragging that's actually. true the president's been shot I repeat. the president's been shot so our. longtime producer Justin Wells and a. team have been embedded with no. publicity at all with Donald Trump on. the campaign Trail for months they're. the only crew capturing what is going on.
on the campaign in real time intimately. they're with Trump as he campaigns for. the presidency across the country and. they've shot some amazing footage it. shows you what it's really like in there. so if you're a member you will soon be. able to get this stocku series covering. the historic campaign the fall of Joe. Biden never before seen footage from the. assassination attempt at the Butler. Township Pennsylvania Trump rally and a. lot more it's going to pull back the. curtain completely they are embedded. inside the campaign I can't wait to see.
it personally but to get it first go to. Tucker carlson.com become a member the. greatest television event of the Year. we're proud to offer. [Music]. it so you've got one candidate who shows. up with the biggest most powerful. Hollywood agency prepping her with voice. coaches and the other candidate shows up. with two cans of diet coach. that doesn't seem like a symmetrical. context and a burger no it's totally.
unfair and I and to me it's been so. frustrating to watch people Republicans. over the past 48 Hours say well that's. the way it is you have to do better you. know that's that's just how it is. everybody knows the media is biased this. is not the right attitude what happened. on that stage on Tuesday night was a. complete dereliction of Duty by those. moderators they. completely abandoned all journalistic. integrity and principal and it's deadly. serious we're talking about a.
presidential election here they actively. inserted themselves to the point where. you actually have to wonder whether they. made a conscious decision at ABC this is. the night we're going to do it we're. just going to we're just going to lift. the dress up and show them everything. that we're not journalists that we are. partisan hacks you know I always thought. judging by David M's ABS that he was a. great journalist but. I who is David mure anyway. you know he's managed to fly under the. radar yeah that's one way to put it.
because he lets his programmers his. producers and his content selections. speak for his bias you know media. Research Center did a study right before. the debate it dropped showing that I. think it was 92% of their coverage on. Kamala was positive 92 or 93 97% of. their coverage on Trump was negative and. they said that ABC was the worst of the. three nightly newscasts NBC more fair. than ABC CBS as well so he got chosen to.
do the debate and when David Mir was out. there without the producers selecting. the stories all of which were left and. you're left to say okay let's see you. David Mir who are you and of course we. already knew because he has a say on on. content selection on his show but he. really let us Fleek freak flag fly and. and what they did up there I mean I'll. just take the one moment which is really. driving me. insane they Trump about his comment that. he lost by a whisker recently on a.
podcast fair question that's fine you. can ask him that and Trump says well I. was being. sarcastic he actually fact checked him. with I didn't detect any. sarcasm what what are you are you like. one of those emojis from the Emoji Movie. that can detect that's not sarcasm no. that's a truth. teller that it was the most. inappropriate thing I've ever. seen and it masqueraded as a fact check. and it of course Tri Trump up and just. give you one other thing it's another.
moment of the debate they asked kamla. Harris about the fact that they did. nothing about immigration until the last. 6 months right obviously an election. ploy to make the the numbers look better. they turn to her first she does her John. Wayne routine like well I was tough on. that their border back when I was an AG. and now again sure sure Jan well she. does have a gun so I kind of get it yeah. sure she does so she gives that routine. and then she immediately pivots to his. rallies stink and people leave and of. course for Trump that's like I know he.
can't no here's a liver snap yes I know. right and you're like no Trump come back. come back I know no don't do it so he. did it he did it and then he did and. you're like pivot back to immigration. this is your best issue this is her. worst issue pivot pivot pivot so he. starts pivoting and that's what we got. into the dogs and the. cats okay I mean they're eating the pets. I me come on I mean it is a thing but. maybe not our best example like you know.
the Babylon B had a headline the other. day saying like Democrats fact check. Trump no no dogs and cats being killed. just women and. children so he pivots back to. immigration with the dogs and the cats. fact check not happening another. inappropriate fact check this is a this. is a matter Up For Debate right now. we've had dozens now at this point of. witness testimonials saying it is true. and we have one one unnamed city manager. saying not that I could prove well what. that's not that's not a a proof that.
it's not happening another inappropriate. fact check so he screws up Trump's. momentum and then he interrupts to go to. KLA Harris I'm thinking okay this is it. where he's going to go back to her and. say the question was why did you wait. until 6 months be no one's given me an. answer you know we've done rallies and. we've done dogs what's the answer and. instead of saying that to her what does. he say your response mam Harris Madam. vice president what that's not the toss. so what does she do does she get up.
there and say Let me let me give you an. answer let me she says 200 Republicans. have endorsed me. a and now we're off on that course and. we never got back I mean to be fair Dick. Cheney was one of them yeah that's right. like what do you m did you ever think. you'd wake up in a country where KLA. Harris was bragging about Darth Vader's. endorsement like what yeah. and they love him now the left loves. some Dick.
Cheney and his horrible daughter the. whole thing is like you're blowing my. mind of all the Republicans who could. endorse yes I'll take Dick Cheney just. for the charm. alone it's like what um it's so true and. by the way the left you listen to. leftist media and they really think. that's going to make a difference like. they don't think that that that Trump's. going to recover from the Dick Cheney. endorsement. of or the Liz Cheney lot of lot of Liz. Cheney Republicans. left it's just crazy I mean it is a kind.
of cleansing moment for the Republican. Party actually it's like getting a giant. bald splinter out after 40 years do you. know what I mean that's like here's what. we'll do all the people in our party who. love killing people for profit you can. have and she's like that's right enjoy. we've got a big tent the water's fine. well look at the Lincoln project they're. still out there doing these terrible ads. about Trump after their pedophilia. scandal. like what how that how they survive that. there was some guy there who was accused.
of behaving very inappropriately with. young men I don't know exactly how young. but the point is they're still Democrats. giving them millions of dollars and. they're running ads against Trump like. he's the bad one you get Bill Crystal. and Dick Cheney what a trade so awesome. we get Bobby Kennedy I think it's fair. Adam. kininger so um so just to just to end. you're the best I just want to thank you. for this conversation has just put me in. a great mood and it's wonderful to see. you but I want to.
um just end on getting your views on a. topic that I think is really hopeful and. great so you have just painted a. devastating portrait of the American. news media and you're doing it from a. place of deep knowledge and experience I. mean you're Megan Kelly like you're not. making you're not guessing about this. you work there um but then you leave NBC. in the nastiest most dishonest as I said. exit I've ever seen never seen anyone. treated the way you were treated and. then you built this kind of Empire by.
yourself and it's it's an amazing story. and it's a tribute to your grit and your. talent your native talent but it's also. a commentary on like where we're going. yeah I mean I'm not I didn't even think. to call anybody at NBC News to join on. this tour because people don't even know. who works there yeah right so maybe your. life is is a testament to what the. future of media will be and maybe that's.
great thank you my life and yours Tucker. I think what we're proving is that the. future of media is independent it's a. direct relationship between the. consumers and the journalist of choice. people will make up their minds on an. individual basis who do I trust who do I. trust for news and information and who. don't I trust and more and more. especially post pandemic people are real. realizing you can't trust these large.
corporations they have agendas that they. are secretly and not so secretly trying. to shove down your throat without owning. it you have an individual you can make. up your own mind does is she a truth. teller is he a truth teller do they take. big risks and go against the grain even. when it might hurt them do they. apologize to me when they got something. wrong or own it are they. self-deprecating you're like the most. successful SL self-deprecating person I. know it's shows your humility and you. want someone with humility telling you. about the news because sometimes we do.
get it wrong and we need to be able to. say all right that one not my best. that's and the audience is forgiving but. you don't want people who are agenda. driven especially not with some. corporate overlords agenda so it was. funny I I was listening to this podcast. recently and you came up they're very. angry at you and um not the first time. as a result they were trying to say that. you he has no influence that he's he's. very popular but with no influence and. this made me laugh so literally you had.
the White House weighing in on Tucker's. interview last week okay like that it. has absolutely no influence but everyone. in the country feels the need to comment. on everything he does and on top of that. you just look at the don't don't take my. word for it cuz I'm your friend you guys. tell me who is more. influential Tucker Carlson or Wolf. Blitzer right. truly like who has more sway with an.
audience right like I'll take myself. like yours truly or. like Ma. brazinski I I like my odds I'm I'm good. on that cage match nobody talks about. these people now maybe a show here or. there will make news but cable news is. dead it was a suicide that was assisted. by Donald Trump and it was one that. needed to happen. [Laughter].
I can't improve on that and I just I. should have said this at the outset in. my introduction of you I said what a. kind person you were which I think is. evident to anyone who listens to you I. said what a talented person you are. which is obvious that's why you're. successful but I forgot to mention the. basis of your success and your happiness. which is your honesty you're an honest. person and I'm grateful for it I'm. grateful to be your friend thank you. Megan Kelly takes one to no one tuer. thank you thank.
