Megyn Kelly Breaks Down How the Corporate Media is PART of the Problem in Rise of Political Violence — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So, I look at the media and I have I I
- 0:03have no quarter for them. I do think
- 0:05they're very much part of the problem. I
- 0:08And it's it's why on the Jimmy Kimmel
- 0:10thing, I have no tears to shed for him,
- 0:14even if the FCC were involved, which
- 0:16again, they made a threat. They didn't
- 0:18actually get involved. They didn't
- 0:19actually pull somebody's license or send
- 0:22a letter saying, "Give me all the
- 0:24justifications or I'm going to pull your
- 0:26license under the following couple of
- 0:28provisions." And believe me, I spent the
- 0:29weekend looking up what authority, if
- 0:31any, the FCC has
- 0:34if it wanted to actually pull the
- 0:35license of of ABC. And we'll get to that
- 0:38a little later this week. But it it's
- 0:41why I can't work up any tears over
- 0:43what's happening to him because it the
- 0:45media, they control everything. They
- 0:48control all the messaging. All the
- 0:49messaging. What would life have been
- 0:51like? Would Charlie have lived? Would
- 0:53Trump not have gotten shot if we didn't
- 0:54have a media that was constantly telling
- 0:56us that they both are fascists? That
- 0:58they both are na Nazis? How divisive
- 1:00they both are? If we didn't have a media
- 1:03that cheered the four indictments and
- 1:04pretended they were real, that Trump had
- 1:06really obviously committed a bunch of
- 1:07crimes. That didn't actually try to
- 1:09convince us he raped some woman who
- 1:10couldn't even remember the alleged year
- 1:12in which she was raped. Like, would we?
- 1:16It's amazing to watch all these people,
- 1:17especially not for nothing, young black
- 1:19men all over my ex feed, post videos
- 1:22talking about how they've watched
- 1:25endless Charlie Kirk clips and they are
- 1:28now declaring themselves conservative
- 1:30and Republican. They've they've seen the
- 1:32truth. They're sick of the lying media
- 1:35and they they've watched clip after
- 1:36clip. And if you watch clip after clip
- 1:37of Charlie, you do get to know him. Some
- 1:39have pointed out he was slightly more
- 1:41costic on his radio show. I agree with
- 1:42that. That's fine. He he was more
- 1:44pointed on his radio show when he was
- 1:46just opining about issues of the day.
- 1:48But face to face with people who
- 1:50disagreed with him, he could not have
- 1:51been more respectful that are you are
- 1:53you that way? If if you have a
- 1:55disagreement with the other side and
- 1:56you're actually dealing with them face
- 1:57to face, yeah, you might be you might be
- 1:59conjure. You might like on a radio show,
- 2:01you might have said something a little
- 2:02bit more costic. Does that make you a
- 2:03bad person? No. You should be judged by
- 2:06how you treat the people when you're
- 2:07with them. And Charlie treated leftists
- 2:09who hated his guts with respect. And
- 2:12young men in particular, but also some
- 2:13women are seeing it. Leftists who are
- 2:16now declaring themselves conservative
- 2:17and on the right. I saw a graphic. It
- 2:20was like a cartoon on X yesterday and it
- 2:22showed like a fork in the road and one
- 2:24path leading to the right and one path
- 2:26leading to the left and on the left
- 2:29there was one body and over on the right
- 2:31it's like little cartoon and over on the
- 2:32right it was all filled with bodies
- 2:35people walking and it was basically
- 2:38saying the country after Charlie Kirk's
- 2:40assassination and I think that's exactly
- 2:42right. People are looking not only at
- 2:44the fact that
- 2:46he got killed by an obvious leftist,
- 2:49by the way, so says his own mom, okay?
- 2:52But the but the leftist reaction to it,
- 2:54the refusal to condemn it, to be honest
- 2:56about it. It's the it's the worst case
- 3:01of gaslighting
- 3:03we've seen in years. And that's saying
- 3:05something because we've been gas lit. I
- 3:06mean, CO was a massive gaslighting on
- 3:09many issues. That's just one off the top
- 3:12of my head. So
- 3:16that's why the media is squarely within
- 3:17my own crosshairs here. And hey, New
- 3:19York Times, you're paying attention. I
- 3:20don't mean gun sites. They sued. They
- 3:23tried to suggest Sarah Palin was
- 3:24responsible for Gabby Gford's shooting
- 3:26because she used the term crosshairs.
- 3:29I mean my focus because you are
- 3:33absolutely part of the problem and
- 3:34you're a big part of the problem. It's
- 3:36not trivial.
- 3:39So, what's happened over the past couple
- 3:41of days is the media has decided to make
- 3:43this all about them because that's what
- 3:45they do. I got a couple of examples.
- 3:48I'll go through them. I want to start
- 3:50with CNN's Ashley Allison. She's always
- 3:52out there saying inane things. Truly,
- 3:55she's constantly saying really stupid
- 3:57things. I don't know why CNN employs
- 3:58her. Well, actually, I think I do. Here
- 4:00she is. S 20.
- 4:02>> Things that Charlie Kirk said
- 4:04drastically offended me. I have yet to
- 4:07have actually one person ask me why if
- 4:10they agreed with those things. It is
- 4:12very clear that Charlie Kirk should not
- 4:13have been murdered. But why not have a
- 4:16conversation with me and say why why did
- 4:18that upset you and take the moment to
- 4:20listen and not have a comeback? And then
- 4:23I should ask the question about why did
- 4:26you really like the things that Charlie
- 4:27Kirk said.
- 4:30No one's asked about me. Me. Hold on.
- 4:36>> Me?
- 4:38>> Yeah, that's her. What about me? Why
- 4:41aren't you asking about me to figure out
- 4:43my Because no one gives a That's
- 4:45That's why. That's why I've posted
- 4:47quoted this woman a couple times now. I
- 4:49love her. We got to get a button for
- 4:50this lady. She's all over X. Maybe
- 4:52you've seen her. She's this fabulous
- 4:55black woman somewhere in her mid-50s
- 4:58because she's like, she always described
- 4:59herself as menopausal. And uh she
- 5:02started the we do not care club. She's
- 5:04got like a highlighter in her hair.
- 5:06She's got a notebook that's like she's
- 5:07constantly flipping pages in and like
- 5:10doing her highlighting on it. She goes
- 5:12to the we do not care club and uh you
- 5:15know she says like we do not care that
- 5:19you're cold like we we're sweating and
- 5:23you're going to have to suffer. Whatever
- 5:24it is. We do not care that the laundry
- 5:26is sitting on the couch unfolded. Like
- 5:28too bad. Deal with it. We have other
- 5:29things to do. She She's hilarious. And I
- 5:32have news for Ashley. We do not care.
- 5:34That is why we're not asking you why you
- 5:38you didn't like Charlie. How you've been
- 5:41affected by Charlie's assassination.
- 5:44Things that Charlie Kirk said
- 5:46drastically offended me. I have yet to
- 5:48have actually one person ask me why. We
- 5:51do not care. Okay.
- 5:54Then there's Karen Aia. We talked about
- 5:57her a week ago. She wrote for the
- 5:59Washington Post. She was a columnist
- 6:02there and for the New York Times before
- 6:03that. She is the one who like literally
- 6:06it was either either on 107 or on 108
- 6:09tweeted out or retweeted or liked liked
- 6:11a tweet that read this is what
- 6:13decolonization looks like.
- 6:16We had 1,200 dead Israelis. We have we
- 6:18had elderly people dead. We had babies
- 6:20and children dead and and taken hostage.
- 6:22We had young women raped and taken
- 6:24hostage. And she said, "I like that
- 6:27tweet. this is what decolonization looks
- 6:29like. And the Washington Post kept
- 6:31employing her.
- 6:35It's the left, it's her side that
- 6:37constantly uses that term dehumanize,
- 6:40dehumanization. You've dehumanized me. I
- 6:44like,
- 6:47do you remember that one time back on
- 6:48Fox when I said Santa's white? I
- 6:51actually had some young black woman come
- 6:52up to me and say, I felt dehumanized.
- 6:54Madam, that's your problem, not mine. If
- 6:57you can let some random comment about
- 6:58Santa by a Fox News anchor make you feel
- 7:01less than human, that's a you problem.
- 7:03And honestly, like that side that's so
- 7:06worried about dehumanization had no
- 7:08problem with Karen Atia, the Washington
- 7:10Post columnist, looking at dead babies
- 7:12and saying, "This is what decolonization
- 7:14looks like." Yeah, right on. They did
- 7:15not fire her. She kept her job. But she
- 7:18lost it in the wake of Charlie's
- 7:20assassination
- 7:22because she got, excuse me, she got out
- 7:24there and she tweeted a couple things uh
- 7:28posted on Blue Sky. What am I saying?
- 7:29She wouldn't tweet any anything. Excuse
- 7:31me. Because she's not on X anymore.
- 7:33Here's what she said. Uh, refusing to
- 7:35tear my clothes and smear ashes in my
- 7:37face on my face in performative mourning
- 7:40for a white man that espoused violence
- 7:43is not the same as violence. And then
- 7:46she tweeted, "Part of what keeps America
- 7:47so violent is the insistence that people
- 7:50perform care, empty goodness, and
- 7:53absolution for white men who espouse
- 7:55hatred and violence." She's pissed
- 7:58because she felt like people were
- 8:00insisting that she act like she cared
- 8:03about a white man who espoused hatred
- 8:05and violence who got murdered on camera
- 8:09in front of her eyes. There is a level
- 8:11of inhumity in this person that should
- 8:13be totally intolerable for any employer,
- 8:15not just the Washington Post. Who the
- 8:16hell would want to what if you're a
- 8:18white man at the Washington Post? And by
- 8:20the way, it's owned by a white man. Why
- 8:21would you sit next to that? She's a
- 8:23lunatic. No one should employ her. Who
- 8:26would why would you? Like maybe um the
- 8:29UN will hire Karen Aia. That that seems
- 8:32like a good place for her to land. But
- 8:34this is insane, this person. So she goes
- 8:37on with Jim Acasta and gives an
- 8:40interview and listen to what's on her
- 8:43mind about the whole thing. Stop 21.
- 8:45>> And I just wonder if you could lay out
- 8:48your thoughts on where you are right now
- 8:50and maybe explain a little bit what what
- 8:53happened because you were pushed out
- 8:54essentially for what you said about
- 8:56Charlie Kirk.
- 8:58>> Yeah. And and well, thank you so much.
- 9:00You actually I think you were actually
- 9:02the first one to reach out. It's uh
- 9:05>> Oh, wow.
- 9:06>> It actually
- 9:08um I'm still processing, but it's
- 9:10actually been
- 9:12>> I have not been able to land a
- 9:15one-on-one on a major network.
- 9:18>> No.
- 9:19>> Um I've You're the first Substock one.
- 9:23Um I went on with Don Lemon. Um you guys
- 9:26have been the only ones seemingly brave
- 9:28enough
- 9:30>> to have me on. So I I I also just want
- 9:33to say thank you. You don't you have no
- 9:36idea how much this means to me and
- 9:38>> like I think it's just sadly a sign of
- 9:41the times for mainstream media not just
- 9:44in this moment and the culture of fear I
- 9:46think but also
- 9:48>> yes
- 9:48>> where uh where the truth tellers are
- 9:51finding themselves having to go.
- 9:57>> Okay, my head is hurting. He's the only
- 10:00one brave enough to put I I I h I have
- 10:02the answer that you're looking for,
- 10:03Karen. The reason no one has asked you
- 10:05for an interview is because really no
- 10:07one gives a about your story.
- 10:09Literally, the only reason I raised your
- 10:11story is because I outed you for liking
- 10:14that tweet right after 107. So, you've
- 10:16become a bit of a storyline on this show
- 10:18for your inhumity. And this is just more
- 10:21proof of it. That's why you're here. The
- 10:23reason only Jim Aosta and Don Lemon will
- 10:26talk to you is because you're a nobody.
- 10:29No one knows who you are. You behaved
- 10:31like a terrible person and finally it
- 10:34caught up with you and we're thrilled.
- 10:35It's justice and even your mainstream
- 10:38media colleagues have absolutely no time
- 10:41for your terrible behavior. That's how
- 10:44irrelevant you've rendered yourself. So,
- 10:46congrats. Good luck in obscurity. Hope
- 10:49you enjoy Substack.
