00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>let us get into it because the past few days

15
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>in the Megan Kelly universe have been absolutely wild. We

16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 1>are talking March ninth and tenth, twenty twenty six, and

17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>this woman has been covering so many massive stories that honestly,

18
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>my head is spinning and I love it. So grab

19
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 1>your favorite drink, settle in, and let us break it

20
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>all down. First up, and this is the big one,

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the story that has everyone talking from the left to

22
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the right and everywhere in between the Iran war coverage.

23
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 1>So here is what is happening. Megan Kelly on her

24
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>show The Megan Kelly Show on March tenth, twenty twenty six,

25
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>gove deep into the discrepancy between what President Trump is

26
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>saying about the military operation in Iran and what Pentagon

27
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>officials are communicating. And let me tell you, the gap

28
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>between those two messages is wide enough to drive a

29
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>tank through. Trump characterized the whole thing as a quote

30
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>little excursion and said it was already quote very complete.

31
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>He described the conflict as short term. Sounds tidy, right,

32
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds like we are wrapping it up, putting a bow

33
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>on it, heading home. But then you have Secretary of

34
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Defense Pete Hegsett saying, quote, we will not relent until

35
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the enemy is totally and dis decisively defeated end quote. Now, honey,

36
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>those two statements do not exactly match, do they. That

37
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 1>is like saying the party is over while someone else

38
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>is still setting up the DJ booth. Kelly highlighted this discrepancy,

39
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and she was not alone in raising eyebrows. This brings

40
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>us to a fascinating development that dropped the day before.

41
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>On March ninth, both Megan Kelly and conservative commentator Candace

42
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Owens turned critical of Trump over the Iran War. And

43
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 1>when I say Candace Owens went in, I mean she

44
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>went in. Owens reportedly called Trump a quote traitor, which

45
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>is a word that carries enormous weight, especially coming from

46
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>some and on the political right. This signals what many are

47
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 1>calling a fracture within the conservative movement, and that is

48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 1>biographically significant for Kelly because it positions her as someone

49
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>willing to challenge her own political sphere when she believes

50
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the facts demand it. The reporting also covered escalating questions

51
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>about strikes on civilian infrastructure, Trump dodging questions about bombing

52
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>desalination plants, and denials regarding strikes on a girls school.

53
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Heavy stuff, and Kelly was right there in the thick

54
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of it, asking the tough questions. That is the Megan

55
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Kelly brand. Love her or not, the woman does not

56
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>shy away from uncomfortable territory. Now switching gears, but keeping

57
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>that same energy. Let us talk about a classic Megan

58
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Kelly media showdown. On March ninth, Kelly called out CBS

59
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>News over their editing of a sixty minutes interview, and

60
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, this is juicy. So here is the deal.

61
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Major Garrett interviewed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseath for sixty minutes,

62
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and Kelly alleged that CBS replaced the original question, which

63
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>was about America first, with different framing that redirected the

64
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>conversation toward Israel. Kelly characterized this as the network pushing

65
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>an agenda through its editorial choices, and she did not

66
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>hold back in her criticism. Now, for anyone who has

67
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>followed Megan Kelly's career, this is very on brand. She

68
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 1>has long positioned herself as a media watchdog, someone who

69
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>calls out which he sees as bias or manipulation in

70
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>mainstream outlets. This sixty minutes dust up is just the

71
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>latest chapter that ongoing saga, and it clearly resonated with

72
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>her audience. Okay, now let me shift to something completely

73
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>different but absolutely gripping, the Nancy Guthrie missing person investigation.

74
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>On March tenth, Kelly hosted a panel of security experts,

75
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>including Jim Fitzgerald, Will Gettis, and James Hamilton, to dig

76
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>into reporter Brian Enton's new reporting on this case. And

77
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 1>the details are genuinely chilling. So, according to the reporting,

78
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a neighbor of Nancy Guthrie came forward with a strange encounter.

79
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Shortly after Guffrey went missing. A couple showed up claiming

80
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to be FBI agents. Then separately, seven police cars and

81
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 1>four FBI agents descended on this neighbor's home, swabbing and

82
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>fingerprinting the entire house until the middle of the night.

83
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>The next day, at approximately three pm, FBI agents called

84
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to confirm that the woman from the couple was indeed

85
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 1>an FBI agent, but the identity of the man with

86
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>her remained unknown unknown. Let that sink in for a second.

87
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>The experts on Kelly's show discussed conflicting messages between I

88
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>mean local police and the FBI, the potential use of

89
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a Wi Fi jammer in the crime, and questions about

90
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>whether certain actions captured on a nest camera may have

91
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>been staged. This is the kind of deep investigative content

92
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that Kelly has increasingly leaned into, and it is clearly resonating.

93
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>She is not just doing political commentary anymore. She is

94
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 1>building out a true crime and investigation lane and honestly,

95
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>she is good at it. Now let us pivot to

96
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>some political commentary that had people buzzing. On March ninth,

97
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Kelly and guest Stu Burguaire discussed the funeral of Reverend

98
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Jackson and the controversy surrounding it. The criticism centered

99
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, who Kelly argued,

100
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>turn the funeral into a political moment despite the Jackson

101
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>family explicitly asking that the event not be politicized. Kelly

102
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and Burgiary addressed what they characterized as a blatant disregard

103
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>for the family's wishes, and this segment generated a lot

104
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>of conversation online. It is the kind of cultural and

105
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>political commentary that keeps they at the see of the

106
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>national conversation, even when she is operating from her own

107
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>independent media platform. All right, stay with me, because we

108
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 1>are not done. On March tenth, Kelly turned her attention

109
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 1>to Senator Lindsay Graham and is increasingly aggressive foreign policy rhetoric.

110
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Graham appeared on Sean Hannity's show and reportedly threatened Spain

111
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and Middle East allies over Iran, which, yeah, that is

112
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a bold move. He also stated that he stands with

113
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Israel over American quote isolationists end quote. Kelly discussed this

114
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>in the context of Graham's significant influence within the Trump

115
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 1>administration and referenced Wall Street Journal reporting that Trump's advisors

116
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>were urging the president to find in quote exit ramp

117
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>end quote from the Iran War. So you have Graham

118
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>pushing for escalation while Trump's own team is reportedly looking

119
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>for a way out. The tension there is palpable, and

120
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Kelly framed it in a way that highlighted the internal

121
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 1>conflicts shaping American foreign policy right now and speaking of

122
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>stories that will not go away. Kelly also covered new

123
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>developments in the Jeffrey Epstein prison guard investigation on March tenth.

124
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>According to her reporting, disturbing new details have emerged about

125
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a prison guard who received mysterious bank deposits in the

126
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>days before Epstein's death. On top of that, the guard

127
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>reportedly made strange Google searches about Epstein right before he

128
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>was found. Now, the specific identity of the guard and

129
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 1>the exact amounts of those deposits were not detailed in

130
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the available source material, but the implications are significant. Tilly

131
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 1>raising these questions on her platform keeps public pressure on

132
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a case that many believe has never been fully resolved,

133
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is exactly the kind of story that defines

134
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>her current era as a broadcaster. And finally rounding out

135
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>what has been a truly packed couple of days, Kelly

136
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 1>covered an apparent Isis inspired terror attack at a New

137
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 1>York protest on her March ninth show. The suspects reportedly

138
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>through IED's and shouted alahu Akbar during the incident, and

139
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Kelly focused particular criticism on Merrimum Danni for what she

140
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 1>described is refusing to acknowledge the radical Islamic nature of

141
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the attack. The segment also included discussion of potential death

142
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>penalty charges for the suspects. This is the kind of

143
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>law and order national security coverage that Kelly has made

144
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 1>a staple of her program, and it connects to her

145
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>broader editorial perspective on how political leaders respond to as

146
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 1>of violence. So when you step back and look at

147
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>everything Megan Kelly covered in just these two days, March

148
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>ninth and tenth, twenty twenty six, the picture that emerges

149
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is of a media figure operating at full capacity across

150
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>multiple lanes. She is doing foreign policy analysis on the

151
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Iran war. She is doing media criticism with the CBS

152
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 1>sixty minute story. She is doing true crime with the

153
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Guthrie case. She is doing political commentary on everything

154
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>from Jesse Jackson's funeral to Lindsay Graham's foreign policy posturing.

155

<v Speaker 1>She is keeping pressure on unresolved mysteries like the Epstein case.

156
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And she is covering breaking news like the New York

157
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.720

158
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty six is undeniably one of the most

159
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 1>prolific and influential voices in independent media. She left traditional

160
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>network television and built something that, by all measures, has

161
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>given her more editorial freedom and a fiercely loyal audience.

162
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>These past few days alone demonstrate why she remains a

163
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 1>central figure in American media and political commentary, and that,
