With Instagram teen accounts, protections are turned on by default. Yo, look at this real. Okay, the secret is in the timing. Don't rush it. Built in content and contact settings. And automatic time reminders. Mom, heading out back. Instagram teen accounts, nothing to turn on, safer from the start. And now, the next chapter of the Serta counting sheep. Hey, Uncle Number One, why aren't we counted anymore? Let me tell you a story. Long ago, Sert invented the perfect sleeper mattress. Oh, no. Oh, yes. It says the all-new Serta Perfect Sleeper with the Q4 support system has four and one perfectly interlink coils that help relieve aches and back pain for perfect sleep night after night. We'll never get counted again. Uh, nope. Serta, we make the world's best mattress. Welcome to the Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 11 every weekday at New East. Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to the Megyn Kelly Show and happy Monday. We have lots of news to get to today. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul, we now have Anthony Fauci's diary entries during the height of COVID. I mean, to the surprise of no one who listens to this show, Dr. Anthony Fauci was way more concerned with his fame and image than with the fate of the country. Like, not since James Comey have we seen someone this narcissistic and self-aggrandizing in a public role. And I include Trump in that. I include Trump easily in that. Anthony Fauci makes Donald Trump look. humble. He makes him look like a humble, insecure. I can't believe what I read in that guy's diary entrance. I can believe it, but it's still shocking to see how vain and pathetic he was. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you a quick little story. When I was coming up the ranks as a very young reporter at Fox News, like the Washington Post did a profile on me. And it was Hallie Kurtz long before he had joined Fox News. He was the media reporter. And he did a profile on me. And I thought it was so great. And I thought it was like so cool that he had done it. So I kept a copy of it. And then I don't know who the next one was to do a big profile of me. But they did it. And then there was another one and I kept a copy of it. And then I had like a little scrapbook. Only it wasn't a scrapbook. It was just a pile of like five articles. And then you know what happened when we got to the sixth article? I threw them away because I understand when you're first like starting to collect some attention, you're like, oh my gosh, wow, Washington Post did an article on me. That's so cool. A mile marker in time. Then maybe a second, you know, how I would have to? And then when you realize like you've become a public person, they all kind of blend it. You no longer have to hold on to them because you're like, I'm just doing my job now. Like, if you think you're just going to be a flash in the pan or this is just a moment where you got a little attention, I get it. You know, it's like, that's kind of cool. This guy was every day.

collecting this article and that front page piece and this magazine and this news anchor and a friendship is forming with Jake Tapper. Oh, and look, and everyone knows who I am. And not just that. I crossed the street and people yelled nice things at me and told me I was, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this in public life. I know a ton of very famous people as a result of my job. Not one is like this. Not one. Honestly, I feel like it's James Comey and Anthony Fauci. How did poor Trump get saddled with both of those guys? Which, you know, he inherited both of them. All right. We'll get to that in one second, but also just a couple of headlines we're going to get to. The Democrats continue to be in freefall as another leader is accused of throwing something at a fellow dem in anger and forced to speak to HR. Plus, you got to hear President Trump's comedy set from Friday's White House Correspondents Association dinner. They all got back together after that attempted assassination that happened a couple of months earlier to the president's credit. He said, we are not allowing this would-be assassin to cancel this event. We are coming back together. And he got up there and he made off-color jokes like they always do. But CNN is very angry because these were Trump's off-color jokes, you see. And so they're not allowed. Like, if you do it... while there's a Democrat at the lectern or a comedian hired while there's a Democrat president sitting on the dais, that's fine. Okay, that's different. But when you have Donald Trump up there being off color, well, that's evil. And CNN is very, very angry. We'll talk about it. Joining me now is Victor Davis Hansen.

I can't. I'll just give, I'll just give the audience something like something quickly as a specific example. Okay. This is from his private diary, March of 2020. specifically March 21st. Big front page article about me in the Washington Post. Very flattering. My national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world. Okay, they're pointing out that the death that day. were 9,800. So we had 9,800 people dying. And he was very focused on his Washington Post, very flattering, big front page article and his national and international fame being explosive. Your thoughts. You're right about James Comey. I might add Mark Millie, too. He was the same type of person, but General Mark Millie. But the thing about it was that it bothered me the most. That was obviously the keystone that explains a lot of his behavior. He was a pathological narcissist. But did you remember what he was doing? He was. He had all this evidence. He would get experts together. And then he would say, well, you know, eight out of ten say that it came out of the lab. And then he would misrepresent that and say that it was still a pangolin. And the reason he was doing that from as you followed the stream, I read a lot of them, is that he was invested. because he had helped fund this lab through Peter Dasick and Echo Health, and he and Francis Susan Collins were paranoid. And so they were misleading the American people and the scientific community. And as part of that effort, Megan, he's mentioning about grants. And you got the impression, it's pretty clear that he was taking public money and the billions of dollars and doling out money to individual researchers. not just on the science, but predicated to how well they praised him or their research supported his panglin bat thesis. And so he was utterly corrupt as well. And then he had, it's kind of tragic. I have kind of a personal prejudice because Scott Atlas is a colleague of mine, but I remember those years when they went after Scott, who was a public health expert and the world's expert on the brain and MRI technology.

And they went after J. Badacharya, the National Institutes of Health Director now. And they went after Martin Cullen. Called him fringe. Yeah. And they called him fringe. And then you hear this Alicia, is that her name, Griffith at The View? And she was tasked. She writes. Alyssa Fara. Fara. Yeah. She's tasked as if almost she's as. CNN broker, a Cory Booker or something. She says, I will help get Scott Atlas. And she's communicating with Anthony Fauci. And what his crime, when you start to read about it, what he was actually saying was it mask or good for health care officials. But if you think it's going to stop everybody masking up, it's not going to do it. If you want to. protect people with quarantines, go out, take all your resources at 65 and above. But children are not going to be subject to death from this virus. Don't shut down the schools. It'll destroy people's educate. Don't shut down the economy. It's going to have substance abuse, familial abuse. It's going to be a ripple that won't get out of this economy and social life for years. And they were all for the vaccines, the three of them. They said the vaccines are valuable, but they do not stop being infected or being infectious. They have a limited utility and the boosters. No, we were the first. I think, I'm pretty sure we were the first show to put on all three doctors behind the great. The Great Barrington Declaration. That's how we got to know, Jay Bottacharya, back in the day. As he and his colleagues from Harvard and Stanford were being dismissed as fringe by Susan Collins and Anthony Fauci. They were. And these emails are full of his smears. Yeah. If you disagreed with him, you got smeared. And then Berks was, Berks was. She was trying to explain. And then Anthony Fauci, remember, was bragging that he's, he almost sounds like he seduced Trump. He's got Trump over, I'm now got a very strange relationship and working on Trump. And you could see they were blackening these three people who were proven correct. And by the way, they've never, in the case of Scott, the Stanford faculty censored him. And then a few months ago, they've... embarrassed people said, let's uncensored him, and they wouldn't do it. They still censored him. They're still angry at him. And I wrote three columns on his defense, and I was told not to write them anymore. And I had all these faculty members attacking me. I had the Stanford Alumni Association president call me or write me and say, you better stop it. We have too many complaints about you. And all I was doing is saying, Why don't you let these people's views be aired honestly and evaluated on the science rather than demonize them? And so the final thing, I think you're right about that to mention the deaths because for all the narcissism and these using this federal agency to kind of like James Comey used the FBI to punish enemies and help friends, they really did what he did.

did result in a lot of deaths. If he had come out on day one and say, you know what, we were mistaken. Gain of function research was outlawed the United States. I understand that. I thought that I was doing good by circulating money or greenlighting visits from scientists to go over there and give them instrumentation and advice. And that was wrong. And... He was even opposed, Megan, to the travel ban from China at the time when the Chinese government had banned all travel from Wuhan anywhere in China, and they were sending thousands of people to Milan, JFK, SFO, LAX. And Trump wanted to stop that immediately from all travel. And he was against that. Because that would suggest that there was a lab origin in Wuhan. And he was convinced that the pangling bat theory would exonerate him and cover his footprints. This is all connected. It is. This is all connected because his vanity prevented him from being able to tell the truth about how COVID got started or how we could best fight it. He would only recommend. what would make him look good or look right, irrespective of whether it was what was right for the country. That's my takeaway in having read all of this now, that it shows just his vanity running amok and him protective of it at every turn. I'm just going to give a couple more examples here. March 22nd of March. of 2020. So 32220 was the date. Cases continued to soar 30,000 in the USA with 400 deaths. And here's what he writes. Press is going wild with me. Front page in Washington Post yesterday and op-ed by mooring Dowd in New York Times today about me. Profiled by Peter Nichols on me in the Atlantic. He tracked the body count. and his press clippings on the same pages. That's what his diary entries released by Rand Paul point out. His body count and his press clippings on the same pages. It's almost as if like the worse it got, the more important he got, and he enjoyed that. You mentioned Dr. Burks, Deb Berks, I should say, at the White House. This is from April of 2020 the next month after the ones I just read. After the presser, Deb Berks texted and then called me, this is obviously a White House presser involving Trump, saying it was good that I wasn't there since after the presser, the president called her into the Oval and started yelling at her, saying, you and Anthony Fauci have destroyed the country and the economy. I should never ever have listened to you. You have completely destroyed us. He kept saying this over and over again and was yelling at her. I encouraged her that we are okay. And at the end of the day, she and I will be loved. by the people we care about. She was relieved and after wrote me a text sincerely thanking me. He's not talking about Mrs. Anthony Fauci there, Victor. He's talking about Jake Tepper and Maureen Dowd and the folks who write at the Atlantic and the lefties who are allegedly stopping him on the street to call him a hero and definitely not J. Badacharya, Sunetra Gupta, who is at Oxford and Martin Koldorf at Harvard, whom he refers to as

The three stooges, the three stooges one week prior to them coming out with the Great Barrington Declaration, which he clearly knew was on its way. So there he is. At every turn, we will be loved by the people who matter to us. F, the president, F the people. We need to manage the press. And we need to manage lefties who clearly are on our side because they're stopping me on the street, calling me a hero. Yeah, and when there's one exchange about Scott Atlas where they were demonized him because all of those. four people said that there was this ancient concept of herd immunity. They didn't say that it would stop the virus. They said that in conjunction with the initial vaccinations, it would lessen the epidemic pandemic. And it did. And they said eventually that the various variants and mutations would be less toxic because people would have antibodies and not all antibodies just from the vaccinations, but from earlier infections. And then Anthony Fauci... And the thing he writes about Atlas, he said, I've talked to him. And then he has let it rip in quotation. He never said, let it rip, Scott Atlas. But they had said, Scott Atlas means just let it rip and get, you know, as if don't do anything and just let people die. And he has it in quotation mark. So even he knew it was a lie. And yet they were promulgating that. And when they, when you have to. to call somebody in the White House and to try to get somebody fired because he disagrees with you. And he was, all those people were proven right. And there was, you know, we have people at the Hoover Institution have studied the educational fallout. And those two years that were missed, people never caught up. That was, especially in grade second two through three and four. And think of all that. I think that George Floyd, you know, the riots and all that reaction, that four months of looting and burning was all these people were, I'm not excusing it, but I'm saying that an amplifier of that was this lockdown. Everybody was cooped up. They didn't get news. They didn't talk to people. They were terrified. We have those clips of people in, remember Tim Walz was Minnesota where you had people. trying to shoot rubber bullets at people on the porch. And here in California, they were pouring sand and roller, you know, skate rinks outdoors. It was crazy. And all that came. Cutting down the nets on basketball courts outside. It was all from these people that were convinced. And, you know, when I went back when I was reading and looked at the fourth quarter economic news of the Trump economy, it had just kicked in unemployment, GDP. inflation, everything was booming in the last quarter of 2019. And that all came to a stop. And then when we're reading about all of this multi-billionaire fraud in Minnesota, Somalia, when you start to look at it very carefully, it was part of that pay protection plan.

build back better the seven billion seven trillion eight it's true that's when it all started and that's when all that's we just lavish money we inflated the economy there was no productivity everybody was cooped up inside they were getting stir crazy it was really in some ways as bad as there was a bunch of big fat christmas presents to people who wanted to defraud the system here on this on this point about the schools which is just so galling i mean The audience remembers we at this show, and many in conservative or independent media, fought the same to get those schools reopened and to call out the villains who refused Chicago Teachers Union, among others. And listen to this. So David Zweig, who is an independent journalist, and he tweeted this out yesterday, reminding us that Anthony Fauci told the New York Times in 2023, show me a school. that I shut down. Never, never, he said, I never did show me a school that I shut down. And in these diary entries released by Rand Paul in advance of a hearing that's happening on Wednesday, we will be all over it. Anthony Fauci recalls calling Bill de Blasio. and convincing him to close New York City's schools. He writes, I spoke with Bill de Blasio, mayor New York City, and convinced him based on what I was saying publicly and my conversation tonight to close the New York City schools. And then he has the nerve in 2023 to the New York Times. Show me a school that I shut down. Never. I never did. If his lips are moving, he's lying, which ran Paul knew from the start because he too is a medical doctor and he understood the snake oil salesman who was across from him time after time after time. So, Megan, you're a lawyer. I'm going to ask you a question. On Wednesday, he comes in under oath. And I understand he has a pardon for everything up to the date of the pardon. But what happens under oath of Ron Paul ask him and says, you said, And you've testified that you never, you've said in the past that you never shut down schools. Did you or did you not call the mayor of New York to shut down the schools? And what if he says no? Is he subject then to prosecution for lying on their own? New lies. New lies. New lies would expose him for sure. But I think we may get a lot of Fifth Amendment or we may get him just admitting. You know, when he lied or possibly just going with the, I don't recall, because even admitting he lied, that's fine. Like, he can do that with his pardon. He got this, the greatest pardon you could possibly get under Joe Biden. And so I imagine he's going to be feeling foot loose and fancy free and expecting all of his media buddies to cover for him. That's what I think. I remember when.

James Comey testified to the House Oversight Committee 245 times. He said I couldn't remember or he didn't know or it was outside of his expertise. So that's what I think he's going to do. And I think as bad as all of this is, I still think that there will be people. who will still canonize him and because it became they have to it's it's it's it's because it's their interests and their reputations are perfectly aligned with his all he goes down they go down all CNN MS all a network PBS NPR they've all praised this person and they've demonized this critics and I think they're so and the Biden administration canonized it Victor watch this watch this that this was put together by um Gravian. They do a good job of collating. But this is media praise of Anthony Fauci. Look at these examples. Satu. The single most respected voice in the pandemic, it's Dr. Anthony Fauci. The man who's become known as America's doctor. The nation's top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci. You are seen to many as a superhero. Dr. Anthony Fauci. American hero and New York Yankee fan. You've done so much for this country in terms of this crisis, so I really appreciate your insight. Who better to give us answers that we can trust than Dr. Anthony Fauci? The perfect person to answer our questions today, joining us now, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Anthony Fauci, appreciate your candor. Dr. Anthony Fauci, appreciate your service to this country. We appreciate your service. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. Greatly appreciate your service to America. Thank you, fuel. 37 years of service, I believe, to seven presidents, and thank you for your work over the past year. The great news is you're sticking around in the Biden administration. We are so grateful to you, Dr. Anthony Fauci, for everything you do. Thank you so much for everything you do. Thank you very much for everything that you do. Thanks so much for the work that you do. Thank you very much for the reassurance. And as always, for all of your public service. Thank you, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Yeah. It's so gross. Let me give you just a couple more. Okay, just a couple more from the notes. Okay, Dana Bash, who is featured there of CNN in April of 2021. After his Anthony Fauci's heated exchange with Ohio Representative Jim Jordan at a hearing, Anthony Fauci, um, Dana Bat, Anthony Fauci wrote in his diary. Dana Bash sent me a text. And then he quotes the text. This is what a sad little pathetic man he is. Who writes down their texts that they've received from people who are on television just so they could keep a note of how many famous people texted them? Dana Bash sent me a text, quote, I just watched the whole Jim Jordan thing. Again, you're a better man than I. Well, what do you mean? You're not a man. As our friend Wolf Blitzer said to me yesterday, no one would have blamed you if you said simply, Mr. Jim Jordan, go F yourself. So this is Dana Bash, who's still interviewing him on her show, as though she's an objective newsperson, texting him this behind the scenes. Then there's Jake Tapper. He writes, had dinner over at Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper's home in D.C. Terrific couple. Friendship building. Again, so weird. When in your life, Victor? You and I got to know each other. Were you running home, putting down in your diary, was I? Friendship building.

No, that normal people don't behave like that, unless they're users, right? Which clearly he was. Then Tapper, the most revealing aspect of these pages, writes the Rand Paul team, or how Anthony Fauci worked with compliant journalist to shape media narratives. On July 26, 2020, while watching the Assistant Secretary for Health and a fellow member of the White House Task Force be interviewed on CNN's State of the Union, Anthony Fauci writes that the assistant secretary for health was... talking bullshit about testing with Jake pressing him. Quote, I gave Jake some questions to ask him. And then Tapper and he were making fun of Laura Ingram of Fox News. After my Laura Ingram hit, Jake Tapper texted me saying sarcastically, quote, hard to believe Laura Ingram went to Dartmouth, isn't it? All of us alumni are very proud. What the hell? This is a federal official whom he should be cross-examining and pressing and cynical of and pessimistic about that's what you get paid to do not chum chum we dartmouth alum can't stand laura ingram all of it is so stomach turning yeah i remember the interviews the problem they had with laura was that unlike the rest of them she started uncovering who he was and then he could get angry and then have you noticed that all of those uh All of those identifications of those networks were all left-wing. So very quickly, he understood there were people at Fox, independent people as well, that were starting to question him in the media. And so at that point, he completely... dropped all of the pretense, the veneer that he was disinterested, and he became a hardcore political. And then he began leaking about Trump, and they were all, they weaponized the entire thing. And it was, I think we forget that Joe Biden picked that up in the 2020 campaign. That was a theme, a mem of that entire. that we follow the science. We follow the science. Dr. Anthony Fauci, we're going to keep him. We promised to keep him. And it was as if anybody who was for Trump or for these four scientists were somehow cracked. But Martin Kalendorf lost his job at Harvard. And as I said earlier, you walked across the Stanford campus with Scott Atlas and people. that he'd known his whole life, I would be walking with him and they would turn the other way and walk in the opposite direction. You and I talked about it a few times while it was going on. You were horrified. We were horrified too. They did the same thing because Jay was also a Hoover Fellow and they did the same thing to him. I had people. I won't mention names, colleagues that came up to me and said, that's enough. You've done enough. Don't write any more about this guy. And I want to, and so what I'm saying is this guy, Anthony Fauci created this whole false narrative that this was a pangolin bat accident and he was on top of it. And he was going to shut down the economy, the schools. And then somewhere along the line, these people wouldn't shut up.

And they started making persuasive arguments. And they started talking about it. I remember that you'll know him. He was the science writer for the New York Times. They fired. He was, he's been there for 40 years. And he wrote, he wrote a. Oh, yeah, because he, because he repeated the N word. Yes. After someone said it to him. Yes. He was saying, it was like someone said it. And he was saying, well, this person said it, could they, you know, should they be in trouble for saying it? He wasn't saying it like calling someone the N-word. No. He was repeating it because somebody, it came up, like should this person have suffered a consequence for saying it? And he said it in that context. And they fired him for that. Yeah. And he wrote a brilliant exegesis about the whole. Don McNeil. Yes, about the whole status of the debate. And it was very fair. And basically, he said the dominant narrative is no longer support. can be supported by the evidence. And then Anthony Fauci cooked up that fake Lancet investigation. Remember, he had Peter Dasick, and they picked like eight people. 100%. And they went all the way over to China. Before you get to that, before let me just set that up, Victor. Let me just set that up, okay, because that's a huge piece of what's come out. We knew this, but it's just evidence. Okay. Anthony Fauci knew. In January of 2020. January. The COVID pandemic hit America, the middle of March 2020. He knew in January that. The quote, market was not the source. It was the amplifier. He wrote in his diary on January 26th. Now we know the market was not the source. It was the amplifier. So he knew that. Then we get to February 1st, 2020. And 12 scientists and he get together. Only two concluded this had a natural origin per Anthony Fauci's own notes, quote, The rest felt that deliberate insertion was possible. deliberate insertion of the cleavage site, basically the piece of the COVID virus that made it more transmissible and more deadly to humans. It was man inserted. They could tell in the early versions of the virus. They could tell all of these top virologists. We reported this to our audience at the time. Again, we were one of the first. We went out with a very long talking points memo in January. 14th, it was, of 2022. And we laid out exactly, exactly. Today we have proof I'm reading here from our talking points that day that Anthony Fauci and Francis Susan Collins have been willfully misleading the public on COVID's origins in an effort, it turns out, to protect China and themselves.

House Republicans finally got their hands on emails between Anthony Fauci Susan Collins and some of the world's top virologists discussing early on in the pandemic whether COVID came from a lab. It turns out the very officials who dismissed that as a fringe conspiracy theory in the press were being told exactly the opposite by the world's top experts as early as February 2020. They've known from the start. On February 1, 2020, Anthony Fauci and Susan Collins had a teleconference about co- COVID's origins with 11 of the world's top virologists. Emails were exchanged the very next day that made clear several of those advising Anthony Fauci and Susan Collins believed this virus came from a lab, not some bat or other animal from a wet market or a cave. And this talking points memo goes through how. Anthony Fauci then rewarded several of the virologists who flipped from saying national origin to, sorry, from saying it looks like it came from a lab, just saying, oh, must be natural origin, with grants from the NIH, multi-million dollar grants for he was so, so super grateful that they had reversed. And this proves that he knew that himself a month earlier, now we know the market. was not the source. It was the amplifier. And it only goes on from there. He knew, Victor, he knew all along and he knew it was Peter Dasick and EcoHealth Alliance. He was just shoring up his supporters to try to tell us a bunch of bullshit. So he did not get tarred with causing the thing. He was being universally praised. for fighting. That's the key. And if you talk to a lot of scientists, we published it, Roger Kimball, I'm on the board of encounter books, but he published Stephen Quay's analysis of the COVID, which overwhelmingly showed that it was manufactured in the lab under the direction of the people's liberation army. And whether it was accidental, nobody knows. But that was true. But essentially, if you... Put all the pieces together, Megan. You get this thing that it's just incredible that a U.S. official with a 50, I don't know how many billion, but he really inflated the role of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to almost equal to any CDC or the National Institute of Health under his, you know, 40 years or how long he was there. But you get the impression that a U.S. official. When that was illegal to conduct that type of research, was very interested in Wuhan. Maybe he wanted the information from it for scientific, maybe for intel. Who knows what he was doing? But he allowed Peter Dasik to be a funnel of money to the, and hide that. source, but even more importantly, he greenlighted scientists in the United States that were cooperating via email with that lab, and they would not have been able to get instrumentation and all of that support if it hadn't been for him. And so that was the key to him, that he had to keep that narrative quiet, because if he did not, somebody was going to say, this is so staggering.

That the police, who's going to police the police? This man is telling us all the ways to fight COVID. And yet he was at the center of its birth in some sense in a foreign country. And so then how that developed, then he appointed that Lancet. He got all of his friends and he thought, well, you know what? The most respected journal is Lancet. And Peter's going to go ahead of team and go over to COVID. The Chinese wouldn't even meet with him unless they told the line. They came out and said it was a it was not from the lab. They destroyed the reputation of Lancet. Then they exposed them all, that it was all set up. And when it was all said and done... It was all weaponized, and that fed into the Biden administration, and that became a key campaign talking point. Donald Trump is a wacko. The people around him are amateurs. We are the science. I am the science. And you can't question. Victor, we're still dealing with this. I've been making the point lately about people say, like, how are all these people in America now so conspiratorial, right? Like they have major conspiratorial instincts. This is how? This is exactly how they were lied to by government officials at the highest levels over and over with a complicit media that amplified the lies and chat on anybody who called them out as lies, no matter whether they were Stanford and Harvard doctors or, you know, the, who was it? Turning Point Barbie, who we had on our show, not Turning Point. What was her name? Maga Barbie, who we had on our show, who got caught at the Capitol on January 6th. She was like a normal lady who all of her businesses got shut down. I remember that. And she was just so distraught. But my point is simply, they did it to us. They caused it. You know, it's very funny. And I had this conversation with somebody. whom I won't mention, who called me up and said, you should be ashamed of yourself because you wrote on behalf of Scott Atlas and these other three. I did a lot. And I said, you know who these people are? Do you have any idea? They have authored hundreds, thousands of peer-reviewed articles. I said, you know that if you are in neural radiologists, there's this huge tone. You can't even lift it. It's so big. It's called... MRI and the brain, edited authored by Scott Atlas. It was the definitive work on how to use the MRI. And they were all experts. They had just as impressive, if not more of impressive, credentials than Anthony Fauci. And they were rendered as cranks, nuts, amateurs. They had no right to do anything. And then finally, Trump started to consult with them.

Joe Biden said no one was vaccinated. 17 million people were vaccinated before he even got in there. And then you remember when Pfizer was going to announce that the so-called elect the MRNA vaccinations worked and they were going to do it before the election. And there was so much pressure to delay that announcement until after the election. They said, well, the board was not. There was no politics, but it was. Everything was. politically driven in that cycle about COVID. And he was pulling the strings behind every public official. He was. It was all Anthony Fauci. He writes in here, Rochelle Walensky, remember her over at the CDC, May 13th, 2021. Walensky calls to say she is changing the mask guidance for vaccinated Americans, Anthony Fauci. She will take my advice. I'm very pleased that she listened to me. Then he writes, the radical right-wing maniacs who blame me for the rigidity of the CDC recommendations will probably not realize at all that it was me that triggered this change on vaccines. He writes in September of 2021, the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee, well, this is what was happening, voted nine to six against the booster recommendations the White House wants. Anthony Fauci texts Walensky and writes in his own words that he, quote, begged her to override the vote. his entry. Alas, Rochelle listened to me. She overruled the recommendation of this independent advisory group. He congratulates her on finally showing, quote, clear leadership. So both masks and vaccines and boosters, he was pulling the strings. And finally, this, Victor, just a couple of examples of how much he was loving the love. When I left the White House and crossed Pennsylvania and 17th Street, several cars hunked their horns and shouted, Thank you out the window. This is so bizarre. Wait, let me read you a couple more, pointing out that he got invited to go on dancing with the stars and was super thrilled that he received that invitation. Okay, great, good for you. That's not tough to get. Then he kept the Washington Post column comparing a Rand Paul cross-examination of him to, quote, watching Albert Einstein being disputed by his dry cleaner. He then kept the Joan Baez portrait and her calling him an American hero. He kept the cookies from Joe and Jill Biden with the note, you are our hero. And Julia John Roberts gasping on an Instagram live stream that he was her personal. hero every person who ever paid him a compliment is documented in here and you know what there was also a class element it was all of these legacy media people who had these degrees they felt from impressive places and this sense of self And he was right on one thing when Anthony Fauci said, I am the science. He was wrong about science, though. What he was really saying is, I am the official face of the establishment version of the science. And that was true. But I think he even said, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, I read it.

this morning in depth. But he said, I think he called Laura Ingham or somebody wrote to him, Porrea. Is that what they said? Porra? For her Laura? And how did she ever get into Dartmouth? I mean, I think it's that one that he got from Tapper. Yeah, yeah. But in that, in that text, yeah, he did call her Pora Ingram. Yeah, like who. Tapper did. Who let this person into our school? And Rand Paul is a dry, dry cleaning person. What's wrong with a dry cleaning person? They're very important people. But he just drips this condensation. He's so condescending and he has contempt for people. And it was all part of that, again, that picture that the Yahoo's had taken over Washington and he had his finger in the dike and he was protecting rational people in science. The whole time he was lying and he was irrational. And all of science was absolutely antithetical to everything he was saying. And he was saying things that he knew were wrong because he was trying to protect his own culpability. And I don't know what's going to happen to them, but it makes, if you think about the number of people who died, it even makes the whole 51 experts who lied about the Hunter laptop and all that stuff look minor in comparison. And it was really terrible what he did. And the children, like the learning loss, it wasn't just New York where he got the schools closed. And we know that from his own admission. He, I mean, as I read to you a moment ago, you know, I spoke with Bill de Blasio. I convinced him. based on what I was saying publicly in my conversation night to close the New York City schools, I was there. I mean, we were part of the school system when he did that. And my friend had her kids in those public schools for the duration. And when finally, after nearly 18 months, she attended an open the school's rally. She got called a white supremacist. I remember that. And now she is. more MAGA than anyone I know. She is a MAGA hat wearing Trump, you know, supporting, getting people to vote for Trump and so is her whole family because of this stuff. But to my point that I was trying to make, he writes, I had a similar call with Ann O'Leary, the chief of staff for Governor Gavin Newsom of California and said based on my TV appearances today and yesterday, the governor has decided to close the schools in California as well as the bars and restaurants. He wants credit for the learning loss that he inflicted on students in two of the biggest, greatest cities in the world, which went totally over the top with it. This is Jennifer Say, who now runs XXXY Athletics, lost her job as an executive at Levi's because she was one of those California moms who said, is this really necessary? This is going on too long. This is not good for the children. And Levi's, those villains.

turned on her and basically pushed her out of her dream job just for that. Like the number of consequences, Victor, that happened to so many children, not to mention adults, because of this villain. And then the other villain Joe Biden who gave him with his magic wand a complete pass for it all. So on Wednesday, we'll be praying. We'll be hoping and praying that he says something new. That's false for which he can be indicted, but he knows that's what's going to happen. So he's going to be super careful or he's going to forget everything. Or he's just going to say on the grounds of, you know, Fifth Amendment, I'd choose not to say anything if he thinks he's on quicksand. And it will be left. biting the heels of our hands again because he's a slippery snake of a man he is and the people but the thing that will save him is there's 50 or 60 marquee journalists that are invested in his lives because they put him on and on and on and they nodded their heads and they praised him like your clip showed and they they don't want him to fail they want him to be exonerated and they will write as sure as the sun comes up the next day they will write how brave he was and how he spoke truth of power and what a yokel Rand Paul or Jim Jordan whoever is and that's how he operates he was a he had to give the reason he was so successful he turned an otherwise obscure agency into the most important medical department and the federal government. And in statutory terms, it wasn't. But he did it because he was there so long and he knew how to play politics and ingratiate himself with the presidents. And he knew the stakes for him. He did. And he was stabbing Trump in the back all the time. And yet he did persuade Trump to do all these things. And then he was saying, we were developing this strange relationship. I'm working on it. But he was actually trashing Trump through all of his media people. And he was trying to get rid of anybody in the White House that was giving counter advice. And it worked. And he did a lot of damage. And I don't, it just. It's just a cautionary tale that when somebody can't address the argument and can't address rational objections and then has to go back to titles and media and reputation, you know, it's toxic and that's what he did. And you know that the last thing, they didn't even believe it. You remember when all this was going on, Gavin was showing up at the French laundry with his... with his lobby friends without mask. He went down to L.A. at a sporting event without a mask. Nancy Pelosi was going to get her hair done, supposedly to a store, to a hairdress that was shut down, but she opened just up for Nancy. And we had even Anthony Fauci, I think he was at a baseball game. He said, you should wear a mask all the time. And you can see him. There's nobody around him and he has his mask off. They didn't even believe it.

Nobody believed. We'll never believe our public health officials again. I'm sorry, we just won't. After this, this is so devastating to faith in public officials, never mind public health officials. We just won't. So many people accepted this, not unquestioningly, but ultimately accepted it because to some extent it was like you were forced to live in New York City. Good luck going out to a restaurant if you didn't have your vaccine card with proof of all your vaccines and so on. I just think we are never. going to accept the word of officials in public health again. And that's unfortunate because there actually could come a time when we need to. It is. And they really mischaracterize the opposition. Those scientists... that you interviewed and Scott and others. They weren't saying that it wasn't a dangerous disease. They were saying you're wasting your resources with a scattershot approach. You're going and trying to shut down the schools when they evidence the scientific proof shows that somebody five to 15 is likely to have a different immune response and can weather the virus without shutting down the entire schools. Unfortunately, you're taking away resources from people 65 and older that we need to concentrate who will die. But that didn't come across. They mischaracterize everything they said. They said, they just want herd immunity, let it rip. They want to kill everybody. And they didn't. They were saying, you're going to kill people by misallotting the resources that are finite to places where the demography is going to make it through, but the other demography is not. And we learned that in New York with Andrew Cuomo. And there was all of these older people died because we had the same policy across the board. And then when they inject- And they didn't care about the harmed children at all, unlike the Great Barrington doctors. Who wanted focused protection.

This just in, CNN's Jake Tapper to write a book highlighting all the lies told by Anthony Fauci during the COVID pandemic. It's going to be called Original Sin 2. And he is going to argue how could he possibly have known? He couldn't have known. But now it's recently been brought to his attention that Anthony Fauci told a bunch of lies. And he... And the guy from Axios are going to be the ones to blow this story wide open. We look forward to that. Are you serious? I joke. I know I joke, of course. I thought so. But doesn't it feel like that's what's going to have to happen next, mister? Something like that. The gaslighting will continue. We were just talking to the break with my team about how embarrassing this is. Like if I were Jake Tapper, I would be humiliated. One of the things that was in my packet, there was a note from Stephanopolis to... Anthony Fauci, as documented by Anthony Fauci and his little diary, where Stephanopoulos wrote, thank you, Tony, so impressive. And I didn't raise it because that actually is normal, I think, just like... When somebody comes on, you send him a nice note. You know, somebody from the government who doesn't, who was doing you a solid. He said something nice about how he did on the air. That's normal anchor stuff, to be honest. I'm not going to give Stephanopoulos hard time for that. That shit with Jake Tapper, having him over apparently twice for dinner. And he's the most controversial person in America, at least one of them, in the government. And you're schmoozing with him. You're ripping on other news anchors. You crossed a line, bro. You've crossed a line. Like you've gotten too chummy with the subject of what's supposed to be objective reporting. And I think it'd be one thing if his reporting were super hard on Anthony Fauci and we're like, oh, he was able to do it anyway. But no, he wasn't. And none of them was. I mean, they all loved the guy. He was a superhero to them. And they were just mimicking that no one ever said, we owe him all this things. He's a genius. He's the science. But they never said why. I remember right during the George Floyd, it was in Minnesota. There were tens of thousands of social health workers, nurses that went out and violated. You remember that? They violated the entire lockdown. They took off and they were out protesting on behalf of George Floyd. And then they said, we're doing this because the mental health crisis is worse than the COVID. In other words, they were saying, We're already picking and choosing who's exempt from Anthony Fauci's lockdown. And it just destroyed all confidence with American people. They said, you know, Gavin's not doing this and Nancy's not doing this. And now we've got people out in the street that's saying that they're actual health workers. And they don't even believe it. They can pick and choose when to be social distancing or isolated. And it just...

It just blew up. Then everybody said, this is a joke. These people don't even know it. But you know why, Victor, you know why they saw him as such a hero? Because of fear, because of safetyism. Mike Roe does such a good job of calling this out, you know, the founder of the show, Dirty Jobs. And he spent his whole adult life with guys who are not afraid to live life with a little risk. Whether it's an electrician who's up in the crane working on the lines above us all, like could get electrocuted at any minute, or those construction guys who are dealing with heavy equipment in the middle of the road and very dangerous situations, these guys have courage. And they have to exercise it literally every day just to earn a paycheck, which is... The opposite of most journalists. I remember that. I had a two-year hiatus from Stanford University's Hoover. You couldn't go on campus at Stanford. If you went on campus, Megan, and they had your ping, then you were given a text message because you weren't supposed to even be to your office. I'm not talking about a public meeting. I'm saying you wanted to go on office to get a book. You were not allowed to go on campus. And then if you were caught... with your ping, then you were given a text message that you had a certain amount of time to go to a kiosk and take a test immediately. And they were tracking you. Oh, my Lord. They were tracking you. And I remember being on the farm here. And it was kind of strange because all within a week, the washer and dryer went out and the oven went out. And I got a catalog. And here came these people from Home Depot. They were working class people, and I said, are you guys locked down? They said, no, we go into everybody's house every single day. And I said, if we didn't have people like you, what would happen? So for all the lockdown, it was mostly the professional classes. The teachers and lawyers and courtroom and media. But there was the working class. They were still fixing pipes and wiring and delivering stuff to people. And they were risking, according to Anthony Fauci, they were interacting with the public. And so he said, in the one hand, we can't, we have to shut down everything. We have to social distance. asterisk, but certain classes of people were going to exempt because without them, it really told you who was important. It surely wasn't professors like myself because nobody missed us. And the teachers in K through 12, I think were missed. But a lot of professors weren't, a lot of people in the media weren't, and a lot of lawyers were not missed. But guys that were delivering and fixing things, the safetyism, it reminded me because, you know, we're going to talk about the rejiggered White House Correspondence Dinner, which just happened. Yeah. And President Trump showed up, to his credit. You know, he, he don't, somebody was there to kill him at this White House correspondent dinner that tried to have, that they tried to have a couple months ago and they had to cancel it. And Trump said, we're coming back together. I don't care if it's the middle of July. We're coming back together because we're not letting this guy have this heckler's veto. But at the first one where the guy was shooting outside of the ballroom, he,

He never got anywhere near the ballroom. He was on a totally different level. He would have had to take a massive escalator down to get anywhere near the ballroom. And he didn't get close to that. But I understand hearing shots fired someplace outside the ballroom would be disconcerting when you're anywhere near the president. Just quick aside, there was a great story about a journalist who was with Trump at the America's 250th when he had the UFC event. I think it was Joe Rogan. Yeah, it was Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan said something to Trump. to the effect of like, aren't you worried about, like, getting assassinated or, like, a bomb going off or something, you know, at one of these events where you are because they want to kill you so badly. And Trump basically said, you know, when it's your time, it's your time. And Joe Rogan took a big step away from Donald. Like, oh, my God. Because that's just Trump. Like, he's, he has no safetyism. He has no fear really in any area of his life. But when you saw the. press inside that event, Victor, which clearly was not the main target of that lunatic who was running through. the magnetometers. Obviously, it was Trump or an official from the White House. All the press reporting on it later acted as though they were target number one. They were basically like, you know, the bullet flew past my nose. I barely made it to camera. You know, I mean, they played it up so much. I'm like, would you just stop? Everyone's fine. The guy's in custody. You were not almost killed. You're fine. President Trump's not talking about it this way. President Trump has already been on camera saying, let's go back in the room. Let's have the party still tonight. It's only Secret Service that stopped it. And so it's that same group of people that's calling Anthony Fauci a hero. We're so grateful to you. I know if they live in an echo chamber, they don't lead real lives. They have no physical life at all. I mean, they don't know how to fix anything. They don't know how to relate to people of different classes. They're all confined to that. New York, Washington Corridor. And they have an exalted, obviously, if you see from Anthony Fauci, he has an, I like the idea that we were all saying files now because it's redolent of the Epstein file. And I bet that really, that really bothers him because that's not a very scientific. Anthony Fauci heard a lot more people than Epstein did. Oh, a lot more. Amazingly. Millions, millions, millions, millions. And so this really, I don't know, it's hard to say with the whole cover-up of Joe Biden's mental cognitive decline or the Hunter's laptop or the steel dossier. But finally, This one was different because so many people died. And it was not even that... Do you remember these Anthony Fauci files that have come out? There were people from all over the world, from Israel and South America, that their health directors were calling Anthony Fauci, and he was bragging that he was setting policy basically for the whole world. Because he was at this... And Ted Ross, he mentions Ted Ross. He's discredited guy at the WHO that was controlled by the Chinese.

Everybody was worldwide. It wasn't just in the United States. It was a global policy that he established. And Europeans were calling him. And there was no reason for that. He had no. It should have been calling him to find out how to cause it. Yes. That's clearly what he did. There's been ever been any proof positive that his gain of function research led directly to this. this virus, but we all know that's what happened. They don't have the final piece of it because he wouldn't allow it. He was shutting down that investigation at every turn. He never wanted it. The blanket lifted up that much because he knew, I would argue strongly, he knew what they would find, so we never got it. Yeah, I think so. But let's move on. Let's keep going because I do want to talk a bit about what happened at the White House Correspondence dinner on Friday night. So good for him. He goes back into the lion's den. He knows they all hate him, Victor. And among other things, he's getting a lot of crap, the president is, for the jokes he told about Caitlin Susan Collins, who is never. nice to the president. She's always nasty. She's always making negative commentary about him. Her questions always have the most negative bent you could possibly go into the questioning with. So the president did what our presidents do. He got up there and he gave her a little jazz, which is kind of what they do. But the press didn't like the way he did it sought for. I don't want to personally congratulate CNN's Caitlin Callins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It's a fake. She shouldn't get the award. It was a fake, but I didn't mind. I said, Caitlin, congratulations. But it was fake. There's no question about it. But she's a... young, attractive woman, she never smiles. I said, Caitlin, do you ever smile? Smile. You have a nice position. You're at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Caitlin, just smile. But we attack, and I thought Caitlin had really made it big with a major new sponsorship. But then I informed her that it wasn't her on the Bud Light Can. It was Dylan Mulvaney. Okay, it's it. Right. You're laughing. I'm laughing too. It's funny. It isn't. It's clever because it puts the left in such a difficult position, Victor, because they have to say that's not complimentary. So they have to rip on a trans person, which they definitely don't want to do. No. But on the other hand, it wasn't like Barack Obama after ordering 500 assassinations on the Afghan-Pakistan border with predators. And then...

Three U.S. citizens, they probably deserved it, but they were killed. And there was no congressional authorization for any of that. Then he's at the White House dinner, Obama did. And he said, you know, when guys come near my daughters, I say to them, Predator, P-R-E-D-A-T-O. Remember that? And he was making fun of- We have a little bit of that. Here's just a small clip of that, SOT 12. The Jonas brothers are here. They're out there somewhere. Sasha and Malia are huge fans, but boys don't get any ideas. I have two words for you, predator drones. You will never see it coming. Yeah, they're laughing it up. They love that one. Yeah, laughing it up. I mean, these were terrorists supposedly, but that was the decision he made, judged jury and executioner. If you were anywhere near it, we just took them out. And, you know, here we are arguing. I've been reading the media or her saying things like, well, Trump may use a dual-use target, a bridge or a power plant in the next round. I'm thinking. Well, yeah, that's what Obama did. He went to Libya and bombed ports and facilities and Clinton bombed all the bridges on the Danube. But this whole, this, it's very asymmetrical. Their morality. It's all transactional. Yes. So they're also, they're very unhappy. And then today he doubled down on his attack against Caitlin Susan Collins by posting a. A meme of her, her face on Dylan Mulvaney's body with those bud light cans. Only she's smiling here. So they're horrified by that too. He's put them in a very difficult position because you basically have to say it's insulting to compare her to Dylan Mulvaney. Why is it insulting? Because Dylan Mulvaney's a man. They just won't close that circle. But we all know why they find it insulting. And they're also upset because he's he referred to certain people as fat. It's kind of what Trump does. He's constantly making fun of, like he joked that next year, Chris Christie would be a part of a UFC fight against J.B. Pritzker in the, quote, heaviest of the heavyweights division. They would be fighting for a big piece of cheesecake, he said. He also said he was told to stop calling J.B. Pritzker fat, but he can't help it. So they did not laugh, Victor, they did not think that was funny. I know. They, you know, they didn't seem to have much of a problem when, um, It was Wanda Sykes up there making inappropriate jokes about hoping Rush Limbaugh would die, which Obama thought was funny. Here's Sot 11. This is from 2009. Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails. I hope his kidneys fail. How about that? Obama's awesome. He needs a good waterboarding. That's what he needs.

So which is more offensive when you think it's funny that someone has hoped that Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail and that he dies or that the president says these two guys are overweight and should battle for a piece of cheesecake? Yeah, I mean, here's a president that had three assassination attempts in which the Secret Service returned fire at the purported shooter. And Robert De Niro, De Niro says, I think he's on three times now on record of saying he wants to hit the president in the face. Madonna said she wanted to blow up the White House. Kathy Griffin basically wanted him beheaded. The Shakespeare in the park, as I remember, made Caesar, Shakespeare's Caesar as Trump being stabbed by all of the conspirators. And then we had Snoop Dog shooting them. I think the celebrity chef Burdine. said he would like to poison him. So that's okay. But they threatened to kill the president, our top celebrities, and no one said a word. And then that was in a climate that later, you know, if you were a leftist, you would say, you people lowered the bar of the acceptable about killing the president and therefore that you brought out all the nuts. And you could say it about all the left. Chuck Schumer said you. Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, you sowed the wind, you're going to reap the whirlwind, you don't know what's going to hit you. And then, you know, a year and a half later, two years, an assassin shows up at Gorsuch's home. But they never, it's all one way. And I think that's what that drives Trump crazy. And he uses the word fake news and he gets angry. And then they say he's not professional. But they're very sober and judicious, and they do really terrible things. And they think that the. I guess it's the method and the methodology is more important to them than the message. So if you can say you want to kill Trump, but you have a title and you're sober and you do it in a very professional manner, then it's okay. But if it's never the content, it's the manner and who you are and how you do it. Trump doesn't care. Think about this. Where is their outrage about Anthony Fauci lying to them for? for months and years, about Anthony Fauci leading to all those deaths, about Anthony Fauci, literally resulting in the abuse, a serial abuse of children who weren't allowed to go to school or learn or play basketball or, you know, et cetera. Get fat, who were getting fat because they weren't allowed to exercise, which is very bad for kids. Where's their outrage about that as opposed to dumb fat jokes at the White House correspondence dinner? Here's what we saw. CNN had like a little... running ticker on the side of its presidential feed with their little comments. And here's Brian Stelter. I'm sure a few, it's hard to read. I'm sure a few of his jabs will travel well on social media. But the fat jokes in quotations just seemed sad. Then you get MS now. Trump made a mockery. out of the White House Correspondents Association, Washington Post. Trump's insult-laden speech to press dinner draws mostly stunned silence. The Washington Post tweeted out, he told a sex joke and several fat jokes. He called Senator Adam Schiff watermelon head. Who cares? What is that? He went on long tangents. President Trump's speech at the White House correspondent's dinner swerved between jokes that fell flat and flat out.

insults. Well, yeah. I mean, of course they fell flat in front of this crowd, which is probably why Trump won't do it again because they're not in good humor about themselves. That's the last group of things that they could laugh about. No, they only laugh when somebody that they despises on the other end of the receiving end. But the funny thing about it is they make jokes all the time about Trump's weight. They always say that he's an 80 year, near octogenarian, and he eats Big Macs, and he's overweight, and they have all their cartoon. And his skin color and his hair. His hair, everything about him. They all show that he's a wrecked. And I can remember that bandy leaves that he was crazy and he needed to have intervention. and we remember that Andrew McCabe and Ron Rosenstein were going to tape him because they found out they said they could prove he was mentally ill they talked about doing that that was the whole idea that he was out of shape that he was going to die any day they they have just just the other day i saw some media person said he wears diapers he smells he's too heavy they do that all the time and they don't do it just an occasion they do it as part of the the normal news reporting or interviewing and so I don't think any, the only good thing about it is I don't, I think we're at peak media turn off. And I think most people are fatigued by them now. They just think, you know what? Mm-hmm. We don't really, we don't care what you say about Trump. Maybe some of it's true. Maybe some of it's not. Maybe exclude here and there. But we don't care anymore because you're totally discredit. We don't listen to you anymore. We don't listen to you anymore. So Don Lemon was on the receiving end of the most gentle. Trump, Barb, ever? Like, he passingly called him low IQ. That's, okay. But what, that's a day ending in why for Trump if he doesn't like you or if he's pissed off at you. Like, Lemon felt the need to respond, VDH. And I want to, I feel the need to give a viewer warning here. He responded from his bed wearing no clothes. So. Let's see. Let's check in. Because, of course, God forbid he'd not use the moment to make it about himself and paint himself as though he were the star of Trump's remarks. Here it is. So it's Friday night. I'm in bed. I'm trying to chill. And then my phone starts blowing it. We're all here. We're all hanging out. Like, going to bed, having a quiet Friday night. And my phone starts blowing up. People are saying, some old man is on television, feeble old man, ranting about you. Well, it turns out it's Donald Trump. That's who it is. Donald Trump talking about me at the White House Correspondent Center. Donald Trump, I'm not even in the room. Why are you talking about me instead of making things better for the average American? Why aren't you doing that? Why aren't you trying to get us out of a war that you started? Why aren't you trying to get us out of these high gas prices? Like do something to help people instead of like ranting about me. Why are you so obsessed with me? No wonder people ask me like if you're going to run for president.

Because I'd certainly be a better one than you. I wouldn't be obsessed with you. He's obsessed with himself. It's so silly. He starts saying that Trump is obsessed with him. And then he starts talking about himself and he's going to run for president. He would be a better president. And then suddenly the whole thing is about him is it always is. So. Yeah. That's who he's obsessed with. Like, why is obsessed with me? Oh, my God. Like, that's his go-to perceived clever remark whenever anybody talks about him. I mean, like, Trump. That's what he does. He gives it back to journalists who give it to him. That's one of his signatures and they can't stand it. He doesn't understand when you get in the ring with Donald Trump, if you look at the graveyard of major media people at MS, what was MSNBC and CNN. Trump has done something to them that they destroyed their careers. And they're, you know what I mean? There's a whole, there's a whole graveyard of people in Pollock, the never Trump people that were very columnist, major conservative and liberal op-ed writers that were so obsessed. I'm talking about New York Times, Washington Post, they've all destroyed themselves. And they don't, they don't understand, you know. Look at all these people who were very prominent. John Bolton, gosh, everybody quoted him. And yet he was so obsessed, he had to write a memoir and time it to the 2020 election so it would destroy Trump, even though he was warned by a federal judge that, you know, your book is going to come out, but you're going to face consequences sometimes because you violated confidentiality laws. And it was Joe Biden's. DoJ that began that investigation, even though the media was like, oh, Trump, this is part of his retribution campaign. It's like, Joe Biden started it and John Bolton pled guilty. So I'd love to hear your acknowledgement that this wasn't Trump's lawfare. Yeah. And all John Bolton had to do was saying, you know, I always wanted to be in government and no one would ever confirm me. And even when I was UN ambassador. Under Bush, it was a recess appointment, and Trump gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to be national security advisor. And I took that to almost immediately... craft a strategy to make him look stupid and then time it to make a lot of money on a bestseller. And he single-handedly destroyed his own career. James Comey destroyed his own career. Robert Mueller destroyed his reputation. Andrew McCabe destroyed his reputation. Mark Millie destroyed his reputation. Some of the most illustrious generals were destroyed.

their reputations because they were just so obsessive. Bill Crystal used to be on everybody's TV show. He just endorsed Zohran Mamdani. He said he would have voted for him. So I don't know what it is about Trump, but there's something about him that people get so obsessed. I don't know if it's his appearance or his behavior or his accent, but... They become obsessed with him. Don Lemon basically destroyed his own career. By and Seltzer destroyed his career. All these people did because that's all they talked about, nonstop. And they never have any self-awareness, self-reflection of what they became. The whole... Oh, he just got so excited to hear, like, his name mentioned in any public setting. Like, I'm relevant. I'm relevant. He did. And then thought people would admire him with his shirt off. Well, they don't. No. And they think if you hate Trump, then all of a sudden, you're in and you're, that's acceptable and everybody's going to like you. But there's... You know, there's only one Trump, but he can't go around that much. There's so many people that are using him to say that he hates me. He hates me. I'm a victim. Rally to my cause. And it's just they, and they say crazy. Robert De Niro was an acclaimed actor. And he became so obsessed with Donald. He can't finish the sentence without talking about physically hitting him. It's really embarrassing. Okay. Now, I want to, I want to stay on this, you know. what's happening to these journalists slash men of the left. It's the same group, obviously. I don't watch sports and I don't really cover a lot of sports in this show unless it becomes news. But this guy has become news. And now his name is Ryan Clark. And up until very recently, he worked for ESPN, Victor. And he was super, super confident when he wanted to rip on anything. relating to MAGA, Trump, or Republican politics, including Charlie Kirk. Listen here. First off, it's the second most ridiculous thing he said this week. The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put a statue of somebody that doesn't represent the people of Louisiana, doesn't represent the players and the students at LSU, doesn't represent the executives that worked there. That was the first dumb thing, he said, this week. This is the second dumbest. He's ripping there on the Louisiana governor for wanting a Charlie Kirk statue at the university, which clearly he objected to. So super bold and got his strong opinions. Okay, great. Don't be afraid to express them. And then ESPN fired him this week or last week in the round of making some layoffs, I guess. And it didn't go very well. He didn't handle it very well. Here's how that sounded. When I go home?

And this kid, you know, from the West Bank is like so accepted in New Orleans now. Like I wouldn't change that, you know? Never. You know, like, like, I ever. You know, like, all I wanted to do is accepted to be accepted. You know and want it and want it? So. I'm like, I'm sorry. It's just beneath the dignity, right? To go out there. All I ever wanted was to be accepted. What are you talking about the layoffs? Like, companies do it. It's unpleasant for everyone. It doesn't mean anything about you personally. Obviously, you weren't one of their top stars. They would have kept you. So he's not wrong there. But just one more for you, Victor. Jason Whitlock found this. This guy full of, was this false hubris or what? Because this is how he talked about himself. separate and apart from this. Listen here. He said, I don't know about everybody else. I don't know about every other show. I don't know what they're going to take you off. I don't know what they're going to put you on. I don't know about that. But you'll be on Monday night countdown. You'll work at halftime. You're going to finish every night with Scott because you're the best we have. And I remember walking back to the trailer like skipping you know what I'm saying because I was so down and I was hiding it because I was like man they don't like they gonna try to get me over this like do they even and I just remember walking back and being like he's right I am actually the best You know, I've heard him a couple of times. He's not the best. Yeah, you go. And he's obsessed with race. That's why he was fired, I think, because almost every single episode where he starts off script, he starts talking about race and racial this and racial that and racial that. And he misread his audience. People in the country have that fatigue. They want to go beyond it. They don't think race is essential to your persona anymore. They've been through the George Floyd. They've been through the last six years. They understand all of these different issues. But one thing they agree on is the country won't make it if we have these demagogues that keep trying to essentialize race, race, race, focus and use it and leverage it for their own group. And they're tired of it. So there was no audience for what he was saying. In fact, he was bleeding an audience. And he didn't understand that. And he kept, he thought it was still 2020. And, you know, everybody was giving a DEI repertory benefits to people based on their skin color. And that's not. We were transcended that. I think people really fatigued out of that issue as well. Well, except for Nancy Armour over at USA Today. Yeah, well, that's an exception.

It's incredible, right? This audience says we've been talking about this nutcase for years on this show because she's so pro trans athletes running in women's track and field and playing in girls sports. I mean, she's never seen the trans athlete she wants to ban from the girl sport, no matter how much danger it puts the girls in. And now she writes this insane piece about Caitlin. how she has to stop, quote, flopping where you overact in response to an alleged injury in order to get a foul because of Emmett Till. Literally, that's what she wrote because... How many years ago? 60 years ago, Emmett Till was lynched. And as a result of that by white racists in Mississippi. And as a result of that, Caitlin Clark should not flop because the WMBA is mostly black women. And she's creating that same risk for them. I mean, literally this woman wrote this in the USA Today newspaper. And it was so crazy that there was. kind of universal backlash against USA's, like, you've lost your minds. So then she posted this to her ex-account, Victor. In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till, the murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues the WMBA is currently facing with its All-Star game being hosted in Till's hometown of Chicago. I obviously did not provide Enough context for that. See, that was the problem. She needed more context in order for us not to be offended. However, this point stands there is a history in this country of perceived threats to white women being weaponized against African Americans and the danger that poses to black players in the league. Players have been abused online and have reported receiving death threats. That has to be taken more seriously. I sincerely regret that my lack of appropriate context is overshadowing that important conversation and the action that needs to be taken by the WMBA to address it directly for the benefit of all. players. And now USA Today has updated its original piece by her. The paragraph used to end. There should also be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions. Their big change in USA Today was to change it to. There should also be an expectation on Clark to recognize. the broader implications of her actions being weaponized. So they've basically made no changes, but they've had her flog herself on X in response to the outrage because this woman's a lunatic. She's standing by her point.

Yes, she also thinks it's 2020. You know, in all crime, I think only 7% of violent crime is interracial. So it's not the norm. But in interracial crimes going from battery to assault to murder, it's about 6 to 1. And even greater in some cases, black on white than white on black. So when she says, you know, there's this fear. But. That doesn't resonate with reality. For whatever reason, if you are a white person and there's a rare instance of a crime and you're a black person, it's statistically proven you're much more likely to be a white victim than a white assaulter. That's just a fact. So when she says... this it doesn't make sense and then people see with their own eyes what's going on in the women's national basketball association and they can see that people are trying to not just foul her, but flagrantly try to hurt her again and again and again. And then you read the commentary by left-wing people, and it turns everything around from this kind of, she's kind of, I understand that there was much less, much more racism with Jackie Robinson. What made him famous was he was a minority who got a lot of attention because of his skills and everybody, and there were people that tried to hurt him. And the same thing is true of her. She's, She's not just a white player. She's probably the best player in the entire association's history or the best of potential. And there's people who regret that because she is bringing money and attention, not because she's white alone and the oddball in that league, but because she's so talented. And that is considered a black domain culturally. And so there's all this animosity tour that boils over in physical violence. And everybody knows it. And so all these white liberal people try to contextualize it and excuse it. And they don't understand that at some point. it's going to reach a crescendo if they don't stop it. Somebody's going to, you know, permanently injure her because that's the point. And it's truly, it's blaming the victim by this fancy arm. It is. It is. And Caitlin Clark, if anything, she plays a lot of this stuff down. She does. It's her teammates who will stand up in defense of her. And what she's saying is anytime she stands up for herself or if she is flopping. Virtually everybody in the league does it, and in the NBA too, they do it. She's not allowed to. She's not allowed because of her skin color. Yeah, and everybody knows the dynamic behind it is that was a little watched league, and it was broke, and it was an appendage and adjacent to the national basketball that was subsidized. Everybody who owned a franchise was losing money. So she came in as the best player in college basketball and was phenomenal.

She happened to be white and a black dominated league. And sure enough, she got media attention and she brought fans. But the bottom line is she made all of this money. So she enriched all of their contracts, their travel arrangements. It was all in the good of the league. And yet they couldn't see that. So they would rather have her out and be poor than have her in than to be well off. And that's what the whole. That's the whole calculus of the whole anger. Everybody knows that. So this stupid sports writer can't see the truth, and she writes this, and the readership says, what a liar. We know what's going on. And they're so done with that anyway. They're tired of self-performance art, white, left-wing people who are trying to get virtue signal points by adopting. positions that don't jive with reality, just to have this self-satisfaction that I'm more virtuous than you are, because I can, you know, write about Emmett Till and you don't, you know, and make some preposterous connection to show how racially advanced or liberated I am. When most people just, you know, it's live and let live. We don't. We don't treat anybody any different by their skin color. We all are in the same boat together. Let's make it incidental to who we are because it won't work. We don't want to end up like Brazil or India or Indonesia democracies where everybody has a cast or skin color and they're at each other's throats. And that's the future when you have op-ed writers like that, if they get their way, or Ryan Clark. So I think the fact that these people are being fired or discredited is a sign that, again, just like with mainstream media, we understand now. I think finally after the... four, five, six years, seven years, six years after George Floyd, that if you go down, keep going down that trajectory, you're not going to have a country. It's going to be something like a third world multiracial, chauvinistic caste system democracy. And it's not, it won't work. And I think everybody knows it. And they're sick of it. Only the most politically active amongst us, white or black, are the ones pushing those weird narratives and lines. Normal people of all races are rolling their eyes like, what are we talking? Why are we comparing the WNBA and flopping to what happened to Emmett Till? I mean, a lot of the people who are offended were black Americans who remember that story very well and don't want to see it used by some woke white. middle-aged woman who's trying to make herself feel better about her white skin when she goes to bed at night. They know exactly what Nancy Armour is doing. And to bring up one of the country's darkest, most evil episodes so casually and inject it into women's basketball is disgusting and really diminishing. And I think they got a fair amount of blowback, which is why they did their lame little edit and made her...

tweet something quite clearly. But Nancy Armour should be fired. She should have been fired long ago for her trans mania. But this should really be the last straw. This woman shouldn't be anywhere near USA today. The fact that they allow her to remain tells us what we need to know about them. All right. We are going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back, Victor. Don't go away. One more second together. When it comes to supplements, there are two things that matter. that it works, that you can trust it.

I've got some exciting news. I now have my very own channel on Sirius XM. It's called the Megyn Kelly Channel, and it is where you will hear the truth, unfiltered, with no agenda, and no apologies. Along with the Megyn Kelly show, you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan, Emily Jishinsky, Jesse Kelly, Real Clear Politics, and many more. It's bold, no BS news. Only on the Megyn Kelly channel, SiriusXM 11, and on the Sirius XM app. Okay, so we're going to put up on the screen a few of the things that are part of your platform. And I want to ask you, just give me sort of a true or false on these. Abolish the Senate. True. Okay. Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them. Yep. Abolish ICE. Absolutely. Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S. illegally. As a long-term plan, yep. Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely. Abolish prisons, at least in large part. Yeah, again, as part of a long-term program, yeah. Okay, so no prisons. Government or public ownership of most large corporations? Yeah, absolutely. Crazy. Welcome back to the MK Show. VDH is back with me. I love Shannon Bream. That was Shannon interviewing the head of the Democrat Socialists for America, Victor, and she's a co-chair. And there she is, you know, laying it on the line. Her name is Megan Romer. She was elected as one of their inaugural member elected chairs after their 2023 convention. She calls herself a socialist with Presbyterian characteristics. I don't know not sure what that means. Grew up very poor in a trailer park, she says, in rural upstate New York. She said in her 30, she followed politics through John Stewart's The Daily Show, explains a lot, was once an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter, did a brief stint in community college, and now she's running this group. And there it is, just in case people think we're all making up this crazy platform the DSA stands for. We're not. She owned it all. And yet they're winning in places like New York and possibly beyond. We'll see what happens in Michigan. Yeah, I saw that registration numbers of the, it's 85% white. And I think Nate Silver pointed out 65% of them have degrees. And they're so far, I mean, they may have degrees, but they don't earn that much. That was the thing that Nate Silver was pointing out. Like, you're overeducated and yet you haven't landed some big paying job. So you're bitter. And he came up with that.

kind of damning adjective downwardly mobile and that's what they are and so they're they go in Denver and LA and San Francisco and Washington and New York they rub shoulders with all these wealthy people and law media medicine especially finance insurance investment and they're just as glib and yet They can't buy an Upper West Side apartment or they can't buy a place in Boulder, a Victorian or something. And they blame the whole system for it. It's a top-down phenomenon. It's not, you know, I live in one of the poorest counties in California, which is one of the poorest in the nation, the nexus between Kings to Larry and Fresno County. And I can tell you, I don't see any of it here from working people. And on the farm, when people come on, electricians, plumbers, tractor drivers, I talk to them every day. Nobody talks to social, they talk about gas, or they want to get a new business, or they want to get a new job, or they, who's paying what, where. But this is a top-down phenomenon. You can look at the profile of these people. Zohran Mamdani was a very privileged kid. He grew up with this child of two professors. He keeps calling Israel settler colonialists, but... My gosh, the Indian community in Uganda was 1%. And it was put there by the British Empire. And it controls 65% of the GDP of Uganda. And then he says, he says nicer, wider neighborhoods. But actually, he should say nicer Indian American because they're the richest ethnic minority in the United States by per capita income. Hasan Piker keeps tall. He has a Mao suit on. When he gave that lecture, 70 million people, Mal killed. This guy drives a poor. She bought almost a $3 million house in West Hollywood. His parents are immigrants. They're very wealthy. Same thing is true of Graham Platner. Ro Khanna now out here in California has become a veritable socialist. He's talking about all these taxes on. His in-laws are worth $200 million. His kids have a golf course in their name. His wife drives a $200,000 range rover. It's a top-down, frustrated elite, just like the French Revolution, just like the revolutions of 1848, just like the Bolsheviks, top-down. It doesn't mean it won't succeed, but so far... They try to create momentum that's not there because we'll see if James Talarico and Said and whoever is in Maine wins. And that would show you that they have support in mostly blue states. Yes. Except for Texas. Trump is calling him James Talarico now. I want to show you what Tim Dillon had to say about the DSA over the weekend. He's always worth a listen. Sat 18 here. One beat. One beat. And the DSA is made up of Muslims and trans people. And white kids from Bushwick or whatever. So it's an interesting alliance of people. I don't know how it will work. And I don't know how that all works. But that is what's going on right now in our country. That is where the excitement is with young Muslim people and young trans people and very skinny white guys from the Midwest.

And those people are a real insurgency and the Democratic Party's old and boring and bloated and corrupt. He's right about that. And it's also, as I said, first and second generation well-off immigrants, Chevalier and Zohran Mamdani. She's a nutcase. Yeah, they all are. And the woman that Kuros, that came from Ethiopia, she said that reparations, they arrive in this country from these failed socials, these failed horrible places. And then they put their finger in the air and they think, wow. Where is the advantages in this new U.S.? A DEI fellowships, victim class, media attention, or being a conservative, you know, electrician. I want to go left wing. And then they start trashing this generous host that accepted them. And they start romanticizing the world that they abandoned. That's a mess. And... Yeah, they want to bring those values here. Yeah. I just want to make one point quickly. We'll expand on it tomorrow because we didn't really get to it, but we teased you at the top of the show. The DNC is in a lot of trouble too. There's a deep dive in the New York Times about how they're in debt, real debt. They are $2 million in debt. The RNC has $128 million cash on hand. So this has a lot of Democrats worried and frustrated. And the head of this group, Ken Martin is the chairman of the DNC, now coming under similar allegations. to ones we saw against Troy Jackson, who's now the Democrat nominee to run against Susan Collins in Maine, accused in early July of throwing his phone at the desk of a junior aide while upbraiding the person. The incident resulted in a formal complaint to the DNC's Human Resources Department. No one witnessed the encounter, and there was some dispute over how aggressively the phone was tossed. But I'm guessing if you're disputing how aggressively the phone was tossed about instead of whether it was, Victor, it's not a winning day for the new chairman of the DNC. No, he's become a veritable cat. Is there named Katie Porter here in California that did the same thing? No, this one's close. Ken Martin. Yeah. It's great to see you, my friend. You're looking well. Stay well. And we hope to talk to you again very soon. Thank you. Tomorrow, it's shocking news on Brian Colberger. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show, no BS, no agenda, and no fear.
