Hegseth vs. "Fat" Generals, and Coates' Hateful Lies About Charlie Kirk, with Stu Burguiere, Britt Mayer, and Will Witt | Ep. 1160

17:48Megyn Kelly:Yes. The nicest and most accurate.

17:51Britt Mayer:Than we've seen him in years. For listening audience not aware, it was the picture of the auto pen. Okay, do we think This is funny because it was clearly meant in humor, but the president's critics are saying it's racist. We're possibly going into a government shutdown tonight at midnight. They almost always stave them off. They get everybody all exercised. And at the last minute, both sides decide it's not worth it. We'll see whether this is yet another time like that. So they had a meeting, Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, and Chuck Schumer, Democratic leader in the Senate, with the White House.

18:23Britt Mayer:And it didn't go very well because after it was over, one of the sticking points is Trump says that they want they're holding out for health care and payments for illegals that he does not want to fund. And so after they left, Trump posted an A.I. video of Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer in this A.I. video for the listening audience. We're about to show Hakeem Jeffries is wearing a sombrero and is like disguised as a Mexican. and Schumer is saying stuff that he didn't actually say. Here it is in Sot7.

18:55Stu Burguiere:Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullshit. Not even black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English. so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.

19:30Britt Mayer:Okay, so this is predictably causing a meltdown on the left. Hakeem Jeffries went on last word with Lawrence O'Donnell last night. They were both appalled. Watch.

19:44Stu Burguiere:I'm not showing this video that Donald Trump put out about you and Chuck Schumer today. this fake video. People are going to see it. They'll see it in other ways. It's easy to find. But it is absolutely disgusting in every way. It is a lie. It's the man you met with has now lied about what you said after that meeting. Could you give us your reaction to that Trump posted video tonight? It's a disgusting video. And we're going to continue to make clear bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault on all the things Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act.

20:30Stu Burguiere:Republicans are closing our hospitals, nursing homes and community based health clinics and have effectively shut down medical research in the United States of America.

20:42Britt Mayer:eh bigotry at the lower third reads trump posts racist ai video disgusting bigotry they both agree so bigoted that msnbc won't even show it and they are the most racist channel on television that's obviously joy reid's platform and um the uh the crazy guy who's why am i forgetting the Nations correspondent, who's the most racist man on television, Ellie Mistal. We could go down the list, that lunatic Tiffany Cross, who was there in the morning. They're all, right? That's the most racist channel on television. Two races for them, Stu. Shocking.

21:22Megyn Kelly:Yeah, that was shocking. I can't believe, and you played it, Megan. I can't believe you. Even when MSNBC, I saw CNN say the exact same thing trump post racist video and i when i i actually saw it first on cnn looking for some other ridiculous story i'm sure and i was like well what is this you know you click on it and it's it's you know the he's wearing a mexican he's wearing a sombrero and he's got a fake mustache like that that is what we're supposed to be so shocked they won't that's so devastating to them they can't show you a sombrero photoshopped onto a congressman it's so ridiculous and i will say there are a couple of different versions of Democrats, right?

22:04Megyn Kelly:Democrats have every, you know, not every, but most successful actors, right? They have most successful entertainers. They have tons and tons of really high profile comedians who draw massive audiences. That is one version of what the Democrats can present. Then there's this version where they act like they're offended at an AI video. And that's the one I hope they keep. I want them to keep going down that road. I want them to keep thinking that they're going to convince people to vote for them by harassing them and telling them they can't make jokes and go back. Try all your woke stuff again.

22:43Megyn Kelly:We've seen how well that works for you. Keep canceling people because they decided to have a laugh on a Tuesday afternoon. That's a type of Democrat that I think most voters can't stand. They don't want a Karen as their as their parties. And like, I think they keep going down that road. It's nothing but good for the country because people will see through that. And I think that nonsense does not work anymore.

23:07Britt Mayer:The video has 19 million views so far online from the White House account. That's effective. That's what you call effective. It's very hard to get most people to look at, comment at and replay a White House video on the government shutdown. One of the most potentially boring stories ever for the reasons I stated earlier, they always have this brinksmanship and then it almost, oh, 99 % of the time it does not result in a shutdown. So it's like, all right, we've seen this film how many times before this did it this and like, literally, how is it racist? What it's trying to say is that the Democrats want to benefit illegals from South of the border.

23:48Britt Mayer:That's who they care about. How is that untrue? And how would you depict somebody south of the border in the most quick and visual way? Yeah, a sombrero, that will do it with the big mustache. I knew exactly what country he was talking about, what region of the country. And that's where most of these immigrants came from, who these Democrats are defending. I mean, truly, like, how is it pejorative to Mexicans in general? It just shows they'd rather be in our country, as evidenced by the fact that they flocked here by the millions and now refuse to leave.

24:20Megyn Kelly:yeah exactly the same way that if the democrats were making a parody video and they wanted to talk about some trump supporter they'd throw him in a red hat and they'd have him swigging a beer and they'd you know like it's the same thing it's not i wouldn't be offended by that we get it i understand it and like at the end of the day what they're what the parody there is not of mexicans it's not even of illegal immigrants what the parody of i think he's going for there is to show how they are transparent in what they're trying to do. They're constantly looking to play to whatever audience is in front of them, whatever, whatever thing they need to say at any given time, they'll, they will play down to the audience.

25:00Megyn Kelly:They will, you know, try to, this is what they're doing with the illegal immigrant healthcare thing right now. They're trying to buy racial minority voters. They're trying to bring those people back to them. They're trying to act as if the other side is racist. They will say anything they have to say at any given moment when it benefits them. That is the decision making process for the left. When they you know, it's you know, when it's it's all about individual rights when it comes to abortion, because it's the one time they care about individual rights. They will say anything they they need to say.

25:30Megyn Kelly:And in this situation, they don't have much they can go for here. We've watched these shutdown politics over and over again. As you point out, almost all the time it doesn't happen. This time might be different just Just because the AOC left is there on Chuck Schumer's behind and may very well challenge him in the next election.

25:47Britt Mayer:And because he got his hand slapped for breaking down and agreeing to it at the last minute the last time. So Schumer's he's now once bitten twice shy.

25:55Megyn Kelly:Exactly. He's terrified of AOC and everybody on the far left. So he might very well go through with this this time. But we've seen how the media handles this every other time it goes on. When a Republican is in the minority and there's a Democratic president every single time we get the treatment that the party that's out of power is the one holding this up. We should just go forward with a clean CR. We should just keep spending at these what I would say are completely ridiculous levels until eternity. And the only thing that will stop that are these evil Republicans trying to take these poor government workers and throw them out on their butts so they can't feed their families.

26:29Megyn Kelly:Have you seen one federal worker profiled this week? There's usually two weeks of buildup of this. We get how these people won't be able to put their kids in daycare. They won't be able to afford their rent. We get that all the time. We haven't seen one story, not one sad sob story of a worker that's going to be put out because of this, this one time. And it's because they're trying to promote an agenda that's going to blame the Republicans this time. I don't know if it's going to work. They try it every single time. I hope this stuff fails on the American people, but you never know.

27:00Britt Mayer:Meanwhile, this to speaking of Barack Obama, this is also his fault. His Obamacare law, which no one wanted. He shoved it down our throats without majority support. Elections have consequences is too expensive. It jacked up people's premiums and their rates in large pockets of the electorate. And in order to maintain some popularity for Democrats, they subsidized some folks, not everybody, because I hear from them in my email all the time. about how their health care costs went up considerably after Obamacare. But they subsidized some portion of those bills for people so that they wouldn't feel the full impact of Obamacare for the first 10 plus years.

27:42Britt Mayer:And now they just keep kicking that can down the road and down the road. And those subsidies are about to go away because they can't stay in place forever. And the Democrats are crying foul. Like, no, it has to. Your law sucks. It raised people's prices. It raised prices pretty much across the board. You've never wrestled with that fact. We're still pretending Obamacare was a success thanks to these artificial crutches around it. It's the jig is up. OK, sorry, but it's on you. All right. That's the shutdown. Before we leave partisan politics, I've got to get back to Kamala Harris. She said this on The View the other day, and we pointed out it was a lie.

28:23Britt Mayer:But now she keeps like doubling and tripling down on it on her ridiculous book tour. 107 days or four days, I would have done it if not for my short time frame. And she goes to speak to her alumna friends at Howard University. She's here with students in the bookstore as she repeats this lie again. Sot 19.

28:48Stu Burguiere:Closest election for president of the United States in the 21st century. Wow, I know that's right. The Howard Gratt was up here. The Howard Gratt.

29:05Britt Mayer:Are they not very smart at Howard? I'm sorry. What's wrong with the girls at Howard? Can't they do math? And Howard Gratt did that with the finger. It's a lie. You remember how she's like, my sorrow. So maybe these were girls from her sorrow. just giving her like throwing her a bone, but it's all lies. And just for kicks, we decided to pull the actual close elections in the 21st century. They did not include the Barack Obama elections. We didn't go there, but we did go to the closest ones. Okay. Let me just tell you what happened in 2024. The race that she's claiming was the closest ever. Donald Trump beat her by 86 86 electoral college votes, 86.

29:49Britt Mayer:In the 2016 election where he beat Hillary, he only beat her by 70 electoral electoral votes. In the 2000 election when George W. Bush beat Al Gore, he only beat him by five electoral votes. So it is definitely not the closest election in the 21st century. Well, maybe she's talking about the popular vote. Let's look at that. In the popular vote in her contest against Donald Trump. She, the Democrat, lost. She lost to Donald Trump by 2.3 million. It was surplus GOP 2.3 million. What happened in that 2016 election? Hillary Clinton beat the actual winner, Donald Trump, by 2.87 million. And then in 2000, how many votes separated of the two men.

30:39Britt Mayer:Again, George W. Bush won, but typically the Democrat won the popular vote. He won Al Gore by 542 ,000 votes, but he lost the election because the Electoral College is what matters. No matter how you slice it, hers was not the closest election or loss in the 21st century. Why does she keep saying that?

31:01Megyn Kelly:This is pretty easy to check, too. It's really something we We can all look up. We all experienced. I mean, considering I don't know if 2000 is technically the 21st century, if it's the last year of the 20th century, I can never remember that. But I mean, everybody remembers how close that was. People forget how close the 2004 election was. It was one it was just one state, Ohio. That was really the difference there. The 2016 election, Democrats won the popular vote, as you as you mentioned. And 2020 is another one that was closer than 2024. The only really if you look at the only elections that were more of a quote unquote blowout than 2024 were the two Obama elections.

31:37Megyn Kelly:Those are the only two. And, you know, it's I sometimes get nervous about praising it that way because we were really close to having Kamala Harris as a president. I mean, they needed to, you know, she needed to win three blue wall states. the largest margin of those three states was only 1.9 percent so we have to make sure that we're we take that seriously because if we stop working hard if you know the people like the people at tp usa that does all this hard work without that hard work that might have been a loss in that election as crazy as it sounds but it was definitely not the closest i don't know why she keeps repeating this this is one of many many lies throughout the book in the book she claims that she came up with no taxes on tips what in the book she claims that 340 um uh transgendered people were murdered in the united states last year that number is not true she just googled it and came up with the global number which was incorrect and not to mention the overwhelming majority over 80 i believe uh of the transgender people who have been murdered are murdered because they're sex workers a lot of times these in chad felix green has gone through each individual case and talked about this but we're talking about people who are showing up for a sexual encounter portraying themselves as a woman and then in the middle of the sexual encounter the person who's paying them for sex finds out it's a male that's not the way that we normal think normally think of a transgendered violence because of hatred that's a totally different situation still wrong right it's still wrong uh of course but a totally different situation than it's being portrayed There's a lot of this stuff in her book.

33:15Megyn Kelly:She's, of course, delusional throughout it, but she also just seems to not even be checking basic facts.

33:22Britt Mayer:Well, I mean, at least she spat it out at that Howard event in a way that I could understand what she was saying so we can put the lie to it. You know, I appreciate the clarity. That's not what we've been getting from her. Here's another little highlight for you when she sat down with Joy Reid, SOT 20. And you think this country is going to survive this regime?

33:42Stu Burguiere:Only if we fight for the country we love. And listen, that's another piece of this, which is I really want to remind people of the light that is in each of us. Even in these moments of darkness, especially in these moments of darkness. We have to remember, nobody gives us our light.

34:04Britt Mayer:Oh, my Lord. It's ours. Deep.

34:08Stu Burguiere:So let's see it in ourselves.

34:09Will Witt:Let's see it in each other. It may be a little flicker right now because they're certainly trying to dim it. But don't let them extinguish our light. Right?

34:18Britt Mayer:Stu, Stu, you're, mm. That's exactly what I needed to hear at the right. No one extinguishes your light. God, let me just get my pen.

34:33Megyn Kelly:It's amazing. It really is. I mean, how many of those did she have when she was vice president? We did a whole series called Veep Thoughts, in which, if you remember the old Saturday Live sketch where they would do these deep thoughts, that's what she would do. She'd just kind of get out into this weird, she'd get out almost like on a plank, and she'd just keep talking and just think that she'd eventually be able to make it to the other side, to the next boat. It just didn't happen. Lots of falls into the ocean with that one.

34:57Britt Mayer:I want to hear more. You can't get enough of Kamala Harris. Let's Sop 22. I haven't even heard this one. This is her TikTok posting about her visit to Howard. Oh, it's Cal.

35:08Stu Burguiere:Are you from California? I'm from Oakland, California. Hey girl. Oh, come here. Well, you see how it turns out? Uh-huh. Yes, you do. This is a moment in time in our country and the world where I hope everything that you are seeing tells you we need you. We need you to lead. We need you to be strong. You are leaders right now. You are born with me. It's good to be at the bookstore, my friend. Oh, my God.

35:38Britt Mayer:She is the least inspirational figure ever, like literally in U.S. history. I hope everything you are seeing right now tells you to lead. What? What? And then the girl to Oakland, you see how it turns out. She's from like this rich suburb up in Washington. I like what she this is how Oakland turns out. If you sleep with Willie Brown, you too could wind up a failed vice presidential candidate. I mean, still, I'm sorry. But like the production around her, you know, it's like the kids say, stop trying to make whatever happen. Right. That's like they're saying. Yes. When you're like trying too hard.

36:19Britt Mayer:And it works so well when when deployed effectively. Stop trying to make Kamala Harris's cool happen. You tried. You spent two billion dollars. It failed. It's still failing.

36:32Megyn Kelly:Yeah. And they keep attempting it. And I guess I ask you a question here, Megan, which is to what end? What is the purpose of this?

36:42Britt Mayer:Well, a lot of people are saying she's running. A lot of people like smart political people online are saying all that all they're hearing here is telling them she's running for president again.

36:52Megyn Kelly:I just can't believe she thinks this is a good idea, though. Her book title sort of hints to it like the book is filled with excuses as to the only reason she lost the election is because she only has one hundred and seven days to come to come to have everything come together. Now, I I was there for this period. I remember how it went. I remember she actually got out to a lead about 30 days in. She if I think the shorter period of time would have worked much, much better for her. I was there when she picked Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate in the most inexplicable decision in human history.

37:28Megyn Kelly:That was part of this this disaster. And I just don't think that's where people are. I mean, her her her answer on the Tim Walz thing was to say, well, I would have rather had Pete Buttigieg, but he was gay. which is strange it puts her as the only person i've ever heard in my entire life megan to admit they didn't hire someone because they're gay i mean i know that's probably happened as sadly but it's like she actually the one person who's come out and said yeah that was technically

37:58Britt Mayer:illegal yeah we're being honest it's not lawful if you or i did not hire somebody because of their

38:04Megyn Kelly:sexuality we could get sued and yet she here she is blurting it out in her book to i guess pave the way for another run. I don't think there's any desire for her to come back. You know, that is funny. After the Hillary Clinton loss, there was a lot of talk about her coming back in 2020, even, you know, some people remembering 2024. Yeah, I know. It hurts to think about it. But I never was worried about that one solely because I saw how much Democrats hated her. They didn't see her as, oh, gosh, she she was a great candidate. How did she lose? They saw her as a person who said who blew an election against a guy they couldn't believe they couldn't beat.

38:42Megyn Kelly:That's how they saw her. And they didn't have any desire to bring her back. Kamala is sort of in that category, maybe not as extreme as Hillary. I think there are some people on the left who really think that maybe if she had a full time for a campaign, it would have worked out better. But we saw her try to run for her own campaign. She had an incredible launch. Do you remember that, Megan? I mean, it was a publicized. She raised funds if she was a great fundraiser and she remained to be a great fundraiser to the end. Obviously, billions of dollars they spent on that campaign. But to what end?

39:14Megyn Kelly:It doesn't lead anywhere with her. It's just throwing money into a vapid wilderness. And I don't think the Democrats want to attempt that again. Well, here she is tuning up her message about Donald Trump.

39:27Britt Mayer:This is one of the things people are pointing to as alleged evidence that she's getting ready to run for president. It's from the Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix Awards on Saturday. It's out 21.

39:40Stu Burguiere:A time such as this demands that we win the missionaries and enforce checks and balances on this unchecked, incompetent, unhinged president. At a time such as this, it demands one thing for sure. We must fight fire with fire.

40:12Britt Mayer:What does that mean? That's what we're doing, you moron. That's why James Comey just got indicted. Like, what is she even talking about? Unhinged and incompetent. That's where she's going to go? This is why she should be the next nominee?

40:26Megyn Kelly:I mean, it does seem to be the Democratic preference for what they want, unhinged and insane. But again, you come out of an area where we've been talking about political assassinations. They keep talking about how we're the ones raising the temperature. And then we get this fight fire with fire talk. I don't think that's the cause for any of these problems per se. but like it's fascinating to see them kind of stumble their way through it i don't think that message is going to you know to to connect with people i think the democrats are done with her now look as someone who doesn't want her to win or any democrat to win i'd cheer her on i i hope she goes i mean it's her and jasmine crockett on the same ticket that's what i want i want jasmine yeah that would be fantastic that's that's my ultimate choice do it i would love it do it Please.

41:17Megyn Kelly:I mean, again, either it would either we'd win or it would completely sink our country. But we'd probably deserve it if we selected. But it would be fun.

41:25Britt Mayer:It would be a good time for me.

41:27Megyn Kelly:Great, great content. I'll say that as we as we, you know, careened into the into the ocean. I mean, I can't wait.

41:34Britt Mayer:I can't wait for Democratic primary season to start. And it's kind of already starting. You know, they're sort of popping up here and there. They're doing their little turf wars. I did think one interesting revelation in her book was on the day that Joe Biden told her he wasn't going to keep running and he was passing the baton to her. She started phone calling all these top Democrats to get their endorsement and their support so that there wasn't any sort of a fracture within the party and a mini primary push. And the one person who didn't pick up her call was Gavin Newsom, who just texted back hiking and then didn't ever call her back.

42:07Britt Mayer:I love that detail. I'm sorry, but like newfound respect for Gavin Newsom. That was well done.

42:13Megyn Kelly:Yeah, that's the most likable moment I've ever seen from Gavin Newsom. I'm not going to get sucked into it, but I am. I actually like that. Yeah, it's true. She's she is. It's such a bizarre person. person like you know the one thing she's very very good at him and the entire reason outside of sleeping with willie brown which which led to her uh rise into the american uh political world is she was really good at those backroom moments she's really good at harassing people to support her uh the backroom moments with willie brown a little bit different i'm not sure how good she was there really good uh but but like you know she would she would have real challengers on the Democratic left and she would go all across the community.

42:54Megyn Kelly:She would harass them with phone calls. She would get their money. She would lock them in his fundraiser. She would lock in their support. She was really good at that. And she was very good in that moment as Biden announced that to go and make those moves and lock everybody up. I mean, you remember Barack Obama came out and said, I can't wait to see what process we'll come up with to find a nominee very clearly saying, don't go down the Kamala road, she was able to lock that up regardless and was able to kind of push herself into that position. But once she gets into that position at every level, she's been terrible.

43:27Megyn Kelly:She's never been popular. She's never been able to really win outside of hard left places where there was no challenger at all. And I just don't think this is a road the Democrats want to go down again. I do encourage it, though.

43:41Britt Mayer:She had some crazy comment in the book about how She really wishes that she had responded to Trump's she's for they them. I'm for you add better. And she wishes that she had come out and said, I'm for we the people. As if that would have solved it. Like she really feels she came up with this line after the fact like that. Maybe that's going to make her run again, you know, because she finally came up with the zinger, the Kamala Harris zinger she thought would have put her over the top. Okay, speaking of they them, I want to spend a minute on what's happening between J.K. Rowling and Emma Watson.

44:21Britt Mayer:We didn't get to this yesterday, but it's very good. I'm loving every minute of it. So, of course, J.K. Rowling is the billionaire genius behind the Harry Potter books and movies and plays and series and merch. And J.K. Rowling was raised poor. She came up with this book idea, like in cafes while she was sitting there trying to think of a way to support herself and started writing this book that wound up becoming just a behemoth in international society. And the kids who got cast as Hermione Granger in the case of Emma Watson, as Harry Potter in the case of Daniel Radcliffe and as the other the other one, the least known of the trio, became international superstars.

45:06Britt Mayer:They got rich beyond their wildest dreams. They became overnight stars, sensations. Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, at least, are still acting in many projects as a result of all of this. And really all they should ever say to J.K. Rowling is, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. They were 10 or 11 when this all went down. Well, now Emma Watson is, I think, 34. She's a grownup. And within the past five years, I think it was five years ago, she has started, and so has Daniel Radcliffe, turning publicly and attacking, turning on and attacking J.K. Rowling. Why? Because J.K. Rowling has been the stalwart in standing up for women's rights on the trans issue.

45:52Britt Mayer:She's never wavered. Unlike some of us, she wasn't drawn in early and like convinced that this is a matter of empathy. She was like, no, from the beginning, which was very, very strong. and brave. She lost a lot. They tried to rest her series away from her, her movie, her play. But J.K. Rowling is really kind of a don't F with me kind of bad bitch in the best sense and has never backed down. Well, now the culture's turning. It's turning more toward J.K. Rowling's point of view and not Emma Watson, who mercilessly attacked her for the past few years. No loyalty whatsoever. And she gave an interview recently.

46:35Britt Mayer:Uh, Emma did hold on a second. I've got to hear. Okay. First, let me show you the dig she made. This is as 2022 as recently as she was doing it even before that, but let me just show you what she's been sounding like before now. It's not 31.

46:52Stu Burguiere:I'm here for all of the witches. Our industry is blessed with so many diverse voices. exploring ideas of sexuality, race, religion, and identity, different ways of being. Our creative talents are brave enough to explore the past because they're eager to face the future. Okay.

47:24Britt Mayer:J.K. Rowling says it was after that speech. Yes, I agree with your scrunched up face. that the backlash to JK exploded. And then Emma Watson gives this interview to Jay Shetty on his podcast, like this week or last week, a couple of days ago, and says the following, SOT32. Recently, there's been so many conversations

47:48Megyn Kelly:and comments directly from JK Rowling, whether it's her saying she'd never forgive you

47:54Stu Burguiere:for your views, or the fact that when she was asked what ruins the movies for her. She named yourself and some of your co-stars. How do you think about that? I really don't believe that by having had that experience and holding the love and support and views that I have mean that I can't and don't treasure Joe. There's just no world in which I could ever cancel her out. I can love her. Oh, my God. I can know she loved me. I can be grateful to her. What she's done will never be taken away from me.

48:40Britt Mayer:This is ridiculous. I mean, it's ridiculous. She happily heaped scorn upon Joe for years. We've only got a minute left in show before we have to take a break, but I really want to read this JK Rowling post on X. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take a break and then I'm going to come back and I'm going to read this post too. That's what we'll do.

51:47Britt Mayer:Stu Bergier, host of Blaze TV's Stu Does America, is back with me now. So J.K. Rowling, after years of holding her tongue, years of just letting these brats run around attacking her, has finally shot back. and it is scathing. It is beautiful and it is clearly written by someone who's made a billion dollars plus with her writing skills. Okay. First, she notices that she's seeing a lot of comment about those remarks we just played by Emma Watson. She says, I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity, ideology.

52:35Britt Mayer:However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right, nay, obligation to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were 10 years old, it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically. Ironically, I told producers I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

53:17Britt Mayer:She speaks of that clip that we just watched. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's all witches speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. This is the one in which Emma attacked JK in 2022. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. She has my phone number. This was back when the death, rape, and torture threats against me were at their peak, and I was constantly worried for my family's safety.

53:55Britt Mayer:Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one-line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who have never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life, she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed-sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her public bathroom is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door.

54:35Britt Mayer:Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed sex changing room at a council run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state run rape crisis rape crisis center that refuses to guarantee an all female service to find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at 14. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me, a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was, I might never have been this honest.

55:35Britt Mayer:Adults can't expect to cozy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public, but I have the same right and I've finally decided to exercise it. I mean, Mike drop Stubergear. She could not have said this more perfectly, better, more powerfully, or more in a more damaging way for Emma Watson. She deserved every bit of scorn.

56:18Megyn Kelly:Yeah, first of all, don't screw with one of the world's greatest writers when you get in one of these battles because you can tell. I mean, that was something that, that was not something she took a couple minutes on. I felt like it was really something that had built up over, excuse me, several years, right? She's dealing with something that is really heartfelt there. And you're right to say that it was, you know, perfect. It was surgical in the way it was done. It was cutting. It was really was impressive in that way. But also, you really sense like hurt, I think, there from her. You know, I think like that.

56:54Megyn Kelly:Betrayal. betrayal right like someone who you helped you know make an international superstar who you know was the who gave birth to your creation right and bringing it on into film and you have to sit there and watch her criticize you over and over again both you know directly and tangentially over a long period of time and then for for the when the world sort of turns around to have this moment of like, wow, I really love her and I've always loved her and I've always embraced her. That's got to be hard to deal with. And it feels like it really hurt her at her core. Understandably, I will say the positive way maybe to look at this is that change is real, right?

57:36Megyn Kelly:You know, if she's sensing that if Emma Watson in her circles is really sensing a change like that, maybe we've made more progress than we even understand. And that is a really positive way to look at this, but that doesn't, you know, heal a wound that seems really deep for J.K. Rowling.

57:56Britt Mayer:My favorite line, I wasn't a multimillionaire at 14. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. Oh my God. It's so effective. It's so good. F this woman and her betrayal of J.K. Rowling when J.K. Rowling needed a friend, when she could have used just silence. if Emma Watson disagreed so mightily. And by the way, I don't believe she did. I believe she went along with the woke mob, just like all these actors do. There's no way she actually believes a man can become a woman. It's scientifically proven he cannot. And so even just her silence would have been something. But she joined in.

58:38Britt Mayer:She piled on. So did Daniel Ratcliffe. He should not escape this either. He was just as disgusting to her. And you know those were the ones that burned. As J.K. Rowling was dealing with death threats and having to amp up her security to protect her family, those are the ones she was thinking about. Because we wouldn't even know Emma Watson's name if it hadn't been for J.K. Rowling.

59:05Megyn Kelly:That's almost certainly true, right? And one of the parts of it that hit me as you were reading it was when she stops herself and says, nay, obligation, right? As an obligation for her to come out and talk negatively about J.K. Rowling. That is how the society worked a couple years ago. Like the left and honestly tons of people in the middle, some even on the right, felt the obligation to post the black box on Instagram, felt the obligation. They had to speak out. They had to take on this unjust world that they had no part in, of course. But everyone else seemed to have a major problem with when we're talking about, as you note, biological truths.

59:49Megyn Kelly:I am with you on this. I don't believe any of these people believe the things they say on this topic. I don't think that there are. Maybe there's a couple, but I think the overwhelming majority of them see it as some sort of box they need to check to be on the good side of the world. But none of them in private moments believe it at all. None of them believe you can magically change your gender with a series of words. None of them could possibly believe that. These are stories you tell your children about magic and princesses and princes. I mean, we're talking about a person who wrote a book about a wizard.

1:00:26Megyn Kelly:That's the type of thing you need. You need wizard-like powers to change your gender with a series of words and a magic wand. Nobody believes this. And the fact that we went through a period that is going to be looked upon in the past is one of the strangest periods in American history, where all of a sudden we were all supposed to change our minds and wake up to this new truth when we all knew it was false. That's the scariest part. It wasn't like we had this awakening to this left-wing understanding. All of these people knew it was false and all lied publicly to fit into some weird mold that came and went in about 20 months.

1:01:07Megyn Kelly:And that's a scary thing. If that is a possibility, we're closer to the edge of civilization than we realize.

1:01:14Britt Mayer:Honestly, like this, you must call out your dear friend out of obligation or you're a bad person or you somehow endorse every thought they have. Unless you publicly attack your friend, you're responsible for all that person's thoughts and opinions is absurd. And I will just say it goes on to this day and it's wrong. It's deeply wrong. And shame on Emma Watson for bowing to the mob. Good for J.K. Rowling for calling her out. I am clearly on the Rowling team. I want to say on the subject of the trans mania, there was an extraordinary incident. Okay, this happened. Hold on a second. I think it's in the main pack and I want to make sure.

1:02:04Britt Mayer:Yes. Okay. This came through my ex feed the other day and caught my attention because I follow this woman, Beth Bourne. And she had quite a moment. She's the chair of the Yolo County chapter of Moms for Liberty in Davis, California, and Yolo County's near Sacramento. And she has been going in front of the Davis Unified School Board every month for the last three years to raise her concerns surrounding their locker room policies, which let any student go to the locker room that they identify of the gender they, quote, identify with, which means boys can go into the girls' rooms and sit and watch them undress with impunity.

1:02:42Britt Mayer:It's welcome. It's allowed. If you object, you're a bigot. And so Beth Bourne, who is not 12, she is 50, decided to do something about this. And every month she's been going and going and going for three years, they aren't listening. So she decided to take it to the next level. and I'll walk people through what we're seeing here in SOT 34. Right now we require our students to undress for PE class.

1:03:13Will Witt:So I'm just going to give you an idea what that looks like when I undress. So right now this school district is saying that depending on a child's transgender identity, that they can pick which bathroom they want. Right now at this school district, we have children self-identifying into different bathrooms. Staking out for pants. No, you cannot. I have my bathing suit on. Excuse me, this is allowed.

1:03:39Stu Burguiere:We're going to recess.

1:03:41Will Witt:I'm going to finish my comments. You are violating my First Amendment right. I am putting on my pee uniform. You are disrupting.

1:03:49Stu Burguiere:You go, Beth. Now they're back. I will gavel it in recess, and you'll be asked to leave.

1:03:55Will Witt:May I ask what I did to disrupt the meeting? Got to close back on.

1:03:58Megyn Kelly:You can start your public comment. So right now she's taking the shirt off again. I love her so much. I this is so brilliant.

1:04:13Britt Mayer:I'll give you one more. Stu, here she is speaking to the local news, CBS Sacramento the next day.

1:04:20Will Witt:I just thought I would show the school board. What does it feel like to change into your P.E. clothing? And I had a bathing suit on, so everything was covered as far as my body. You know, if the adults don't feel comfortable watching someone, and I'm a 50-year-old woman, change into an outfit, how can they expect the girls to feel comfortable doing that? So I just thought I made a really good point. Do you consider what you did last night disruptive? You know, I don't think it was disruptive. What was disruptive was them interrupting my three minutes of free speech. That didn't stop the orderly flow of the meeting.

1:04:57Will Witt:I didn't prevent the next person from giving their three minutes of comment.

1:05:02Britt Mayer:Amazingly well done. She got national attention for it. So far, I don't think the board is budging because they're ideologues who are going to hold on to this myth that it's somehow bigoted to say little girls have to undress in front of boys and that it's perfectly fine. but Beth can't go down to a bathing suit in front of these other grown adults. But what a way to make her point.

1:05:25Megyn Kelly:Certainly made the point. And I have to say, too, if you happen to be listening on Sirius XM, you have to know this one piece of color, which is the person who's on the board in the center is wearing an N95 mask because of course he is. Of course he is in 2025. It's an incredible video. And honestly, it makes a great point because she she didn't even get to the point where a young girl might be changing in the presence of other young boys. She got to the point where she's in a bathing suit, which is what you see on a beach. And even that they were so uncomfortable with, they couldn't even hear the words coming out of her mouth.

1:06:02Megyn Kelly:If it's inappropriate in that environment, quite obviously it's inappropriate around 12 year old boys. quite obviously it's inappropriate with 12 year old girls having to watch have leering boys look at them in that way it's totally wrong it makes the point and this we've seen this over and over again Megan how many times have we seen parents go and say hey I'm just going to read the book that you say is okay for my kids to read in class they start reading it and they shut it down they all take their n95 masks and go home it is so revealing about their position that again I don't even think they believe it.

1:06:37Megyn Kelly:I don't think they think that is right. I don't think they think those books are okay for young kids, but they're going along with this as if we're, you know, it's two plus two equals five all over again. And it's a scary thing that people can be moved that way.

1:06:51Britt Mayer:They were so uncomfortable and they're adults and she only stripped down to her modest bikini. It wasn't even a teeny weenie bikini. And they were so uncomfortable seeing her in that state of undress. What's actually happening is you have young prepubescent girls or pubescent girls in their locker room and you have teenage boys coming in and taking it all off. If we want to talk about what's actually happening, it's girls at the height of the years in which you get embarrassed easily, especially about physical appearance, nevermind nudity of your own, it trying to change into their bathing suits to go swimming in school like I used to do.

1:07:34Britt Mayer:And they've got intact males coming into their locker rooms and taking it all off. And because, especially as you get a little older, let's say the teenage years and the college years, this is largely driven, this fetish by these men, by autogynephilia, which is where you get sexually aroused by dressing like a woman or being near other women pretending you're one of them. You can add an erection to this picture for these poor girls. Deal with that, you disgusting school board perverts. You're perverts. Seriously, like there's something wrong with them that they want to encourage that, but they can't take Beth Bourne stripping down to a modest two-piece in the middle of their school board meeting.

1:08:20Megyn Kelly:Yeah, it is absolutely unbelievable. And we've seen, you know, situations where sex offenders are getting into these situations. Sex offenders are, you know, going down the roads that you're talking about and they are able to be in these rooms. And we hear these reports that the haters are the ones that call it out. The haters are the ones that get thrown out of the gym. They lose their memberships. They get tossed out of school. The parents are the ones that pay these prices. It's an insane world. And, you know, it's hard to believe that it still exists. You know, I said that when we were talking about Kamala Harris, that while it wasn't the closest election, it was too close for comfort.

1:09:01Megyn Kelly:And I do feel that occasionally when we talk about these topics, it feels like we have made progress. I mentioned that maybe we've made more than we thought, but it's certainly not all the progress that we've made. This is still around. It's still alive in a lot of communities. There are still a lot of places where, you know, a mom just trying to keep her daughter out of a locker room with a bunch of, you know, 12-year-old boys. that's still the weird position in a bunch of places inside the united states and we have to defeat that ideology because that you know we're putting kids at risk we're putting little girls at risk i've got a little girl you know i i this is not okay this has to be stopped and it has to

1:09:40Britt Mayer:be stopped right now not for nothing stew but i was thinking as i watched beth the only thing that would be more effective than this would be if it were a man standing there who took it all off because that's actually what our daughters are having to deal with. I mean, it would be, you'd get arrested for sure, but something for you to chew on before the next school board meeting in your town.

1:10:01Megyn Kelly:I'm going to say, no, please at least keep something on in this scenario. I hope it's not one of those European bikinis you're talking about.

1:10:08Britt Mayer:That's what would really bring it home, taking it all off. A man taking it all off. You want to see those women run from that school board? They run. you would get arrested, but you would still be a hero. Okay. I want to finish with this. Tomorrow, I'm going to take a deep dive into this coordinated series of attacks onto Charlie Kirk's legacy because it's really irritating me. And while I don't feel like I need to be the standard bearer of who Charlie was, his team is doing a great job of this. I've been right in the middle of all these fights and Charlie came on my show many times after some of these controversial comments and we would talk about them.

1:10:44Britt Mayer:So I do have the receipts and I have had it up to here with these race hustlers like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Nicole Hannah-Jones out there posthumously trying to redefine who Charlie Kirk was. They didn't know him at all, at all. They need to keep their mouths shut rather than taking little bits of clips and trying to redefine him as some sort of a racist. That's what they are, both of them. So I'm going to do just one soundbite with you today, and then I'll get into it in more detail tomorrow. But Ta-Nehisi Coates went on with Ezra Klein of the New York Times, and he had an issue with Ezra, who had written a very nice piece after Charlie died, complimenting and crediting Charlie for being willing to debate and to talk to the other side.

1:11:37Britt Mayer:And Ezra said that he admired that. So here it started, I'm going to play a couple soundbites actually. It started with Ta-Nehisi Coates trying to shame Ezra Klein for having done that in SOT 10.

1:11:48Stu Burguiere:One thing I wrote about in that piece that I do worry about is I worry we are already in a cycle of political violence, of mimetic violence. I think about Pelosi. I think about Shapiro. I think about the near assassination on Trump. I think about when after that happened, I thought about me. I thought about you. I thought about all kinds of people I know. Right. So I do think there's just something about when violence takes hold that you like that. There's something about it that it begins to breach all lines. Yeah. So I guess that's part of my reaction to, you know, I think all of that is understandable.

1:12:20Stu Burguiere:But I guess. Was silence not an option? Yeah. Silence to me was not grieving people like I felt it was important as someone who is liberal, as someone who's a voice that there are moments like that.

1:12:36Britt Mayer:And there, Ezra Klein was totally right. And Ta-Nehisi Coates is disgusting. After Ezra Klein says, and he's not even talking about us still. It's us. It's our people who are getting shot, like Trump, like Corey Compatori, like the other two people who are at the Butler rally who got shot. Charlie, dead now at age 31. It's our people who are getting shot and killed, okay? It's actually not Ezra Klein. I don't want anything to happen to him or any leftist. But like, let's be real about who's facing the risk right now. But he's thinking about himself. OK, we'll take what we can get. He's thinking about Ta-Nehisi Coates getting shot.

1:13:11Britt Mayer:That's obviously what he's saying. So therefore, he had to say something against political assassination. I mean, I guess we'll take what we can get crumbs from the left. But even the crumbs are a problem for Coates. Was silence not an option? I mean, they don't care. They don't care that we're getting killed. You heard it right there. Why would you say anything, anything at all, anything kind about this hateful man? And I'll get to the specific comments on Charlie. He's he objected to the mild praise Ezra Klein offered in that article as a means of preserving life.

1:13:49Megyn Kelly:Very true. And I cannot wait for your deep dive on this. You know, I thought what Ezra Klein wrote after charlie's uh death was was great i i thought it was awesome and it was very rare that i feel that way reading something from someone on the left i mean it was you know again you're right in some ways it's crumbs i mean you kind of wish it was more from some of these people but i thought it was important that it was noted from someone on the left that you know this guy tried to do politics the right way and i think the left has a real struggle on their hands because you know You have someone like Ezra Klein who's talked about this abundance idea on the left, a way to kind of reform the left into a vision that maybe the middle of the country won't absolutely hate.

1:14:33Megyn Kelly:And when I look at that politically, I'm like, gosh, there's something to that potentially. I'd be worried about that as a conservative who wants conservative ideas to win. It's much more threatening politically than what we see on the left from someone like Coates, like someone like Ibram Kendi. But what we see on the left over and over and over again is the incentives are all there for you to go farther and farther to vilify Charlie Kirk, to celebrate his death even. And that is, I think, I don't think there's a chance that the quote unquote sane left can win that battle over on that side. And that's a scary thing for our country.

1:15:09Megyn Kelly:I mean, I think it's probably easier to defeat in elections, but it's a scarier thing for our country. And the more hopeless that side of the world becomes, we see it. We see the results. We saw it in Charlie's case. We've seen it in cases like Minneapolis burning down cities through the George Floyd era. We've seen a lot of political violence. Even these left-wing databases are starting to admit that now left-wing political violence is more prominent than right-wing.

1:15:39Britt Mayer:And even the ones that are admitting that now, Stu, are removing from their calculations, which are acknowledging it's left wing violence these days. They're removing from their calculations the BLM violence, the protests that we saw against Tesla trying to burn down Tesla dealerships. So many of the left wing causes actually get eliminated. And then things like the murder of Melissa Hortman, House Speaker in Minnesota, get blamed on the right wing, even though that guy was saying he did it under imaginary orders from Tim Walz for whom he worked at one point. Okay, here he doubles down and here's why he really wanted Ezra Klein to just remain silent.

1:16:16Britt Mayer:Sod 11.

1:16:19Stu Burguiere:I don't take any joy in saying this, but we sometimes soothe ourselves by pointing out that love, acceptance, warmth, that these are powerful forces. I believe they are. I also believe hate is a powerful force. I believe it's a powerful, powerful, unifying force. and I think Charlie Kirk was a hate monger.

1:16:40Britt Mayer:Oh my God.

1:16:41Stu Burguiere:You know, I really need to say this over and over again. I have a politic that rejects violence, that rejects political violence. I take no joy in the killing of anyone, no matter what they said. But if you ask me what the truth of his life was, you know, the truth of his public life, I would have to tell you it's hate. I would tell you, I'd have to tell you it is the usage of hate and the harnessing of hate towards political ends.

1:17:08Britt Mayer:I got a question for you, Ta-Nehisi. Was silence an option? Maybe silence was a better option for you as his family's still grieving him and he's barely in the ground. Maybe now would be a time for you to shut the fuck up and stop talking about somebody you didn't know at all in hateful terms and driving up the hate meter on right-wing thinking, which is what Charlie was guilty of, as many of us are still making public appearances and trying to live, okay? Maybe that's something you could think about in the future. I can't say it better than Mark Halpern said it when he reacted on After Party with Emily Jashinsky.

1:17:42Britt Mayer:Here he is, Sat 13.

1:17:44Megyn Kelly:That guy was not speaking on teleprompter. He was speaking off the top of his head. So maybe he regrets saying what he said, but fuck him. Because this man was not a hater. Just not, just manifestly not. And there's so much evidence on the public record. You didn't have to know him personally to know that he wasn't a disagree with him. He said, Charlie said some things I didn't disagree with. He said some things I didn't particularly fancy, but he was not a hater. And and and he's got a widow and two young kids and so many friends who loved him. And this guy's on the National Town Square talking bullshit about someone he didn't know.

1:18:24Megyn Kelly:This is what's wrong with the desire for people to make money and get a claim off of saying false negative things about people they don't know. It's a real fundamental problem that's existed throughout human history. But now in the digital age, you can do it and you can you can reach millions of people. So fuck him.

1:18:48Britt Mayer:Perfectly put your thoughts on it, Stu.

1:18:52Megyn Kelly:you know we have a choice we can be uh coats we can be uh ibram kendi we can be jasmine crockett um you know there's that choice the other path i think is erica kirk you know we all watched her up there in an incredible moment and in a moment that was just like the biggest billboard for christianity that i think i've seen in quite some time saying like this is who we are you're told all the time that we're the haters you're told all the time that we can't stand you because of the color of your skin or or whatever choices you're making when in reality we're the people that are going to say we forgive you when you murder our family members like i it's impossibly hard to hit the Erica Kirk standard, which as I'm sure she would point out is short of the Jesus standard, but certainly that's the way I want to aim.

1:19:48Megyn Kelly:That's what, I mean, I want to be Erica when I grow up. I don't know that I can ever achieve it, but when I think about who they are and the hate that they bring to the table over and over and over and over again, I'm reminded of the strength that she had in that moment. And man, I just, I pray for the strength that I could actually come close to replicating it.

1:20:10Britt Mayer:Ezra Klein tried to lower the temperature, tried to get a dialogue going across the aisle like Charlie did. And Ta-Nehisi Coates swooped in and crapped all over it. And while he gave words to I abhor political violence, he was encouraging it by doing what he did. His actions, his actual thoughts on don't reach out across the aisle, don't openly mourn, don't praise someone like Charlie Kirk, only amps up the hate against Charlie and others who agree with Charlie who are still around. It was an absolutely disgusting, cynical decision on his part. And as Mark points out, he did it intentionally in the public square to change the dialogue around Charlie and around the thoughts that Charlie had that have become mainstream that he finds so abhorrent.

1:21:06Britt Mayer:So I don't believe him that he abhors political violence. I don't believe him one bit or he wouldn't have shamed Ezra Klein for doing one small but noble thing to try to stop it. Okay, I do have a lot more thoughts on this. I'm going to offer them in a more linear way tomorrow because I just refuse to let the character assassination of Charlie happen. They attack him when he's not here to attack them back, though if he were, He would absolutely eviscerate both of them, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Nicole Hannah-Jones, with ease. So I'll do my best to pick up the mantle tomorrow. Stu, thank you.

1:21:41Megyn Kelly:I'll be listening. I can't wait.

1:21:43Britt Mayer:All right. Coming up next, Britt and Witt.

1:25:10Britt Mayer:We've got some more news to get to, including the NFL announcing this week that Bad Bunny is the halftime performer for the 2026 Super Bowl. So what has Bad Bunny said about America in the past? I'll give you one guess. Joining me now, Britt Mayer, founder of Rooted Wings and host of The Britt Mayer Show, and Will Witt, author of Do Not Comply and CEO of Pure Basics Collective. It's Britt and Witt. Welcome back to the show to you both. Great to see you. Okay, let's kick it off with this Bad Bunny because he gets selected to play in this and released a statement. What I'm feeling goes beyond myself.

1:25:44Britt Mayer:It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown. This is for my people, my culture in our history. But what he was, what he said recently when asked about this, the question, you said you wouldn't be giving any concerts in the United States. Was this out of concern about the mass deportations of Latinos? Man, honestly, yes. There was the issue of like fucking ice could be outside my concert. And it's something that we were talking about and very concerned about. So I'll just do one date in the United States. Oh, he's going to deign to grace us with his presence at the Super Bowl, Brett.

1:26:30Will Witt:Okay, I'm going to be the first to admit I I'd heard of bad bunny. I didn't know who this guy was. So I'm like, who who is bad bunny? I mean, I know I'm old, but I'm not that there's bad bunny for those who are just in a dress with some weird white boots that are manly and he's got hair on his legs, but he's got this big white dress and he's got glitter on his eyes. I mean, it's a situation. So clearly he's not my cup of tea. But then I got to thinking whose cup of tea is he? And so, okay, this is what I found out going down the rabbit hole on this guy. I had no idea that Barack Obama's best friend, Jay-Z, he actually runs the Super Bowl selection process through his company, Rock Nation.

1:27:10Will Witt:And so as soon as I heard that, it was like, aha, okay, it makes sense. They're just trying to shove woke ideology down America's throat in the platform of the Super Bowl. It makes sense. It's not because of who Bad Bunny is. It's because they want us woke. And that's really what it is. courtesy of Jay-Z and Obama.

1:27:30Britt Mayer:Yeah. I mean, who are we going to have next year? P. Diddy? I look forward to Sean Diddy Combs in his comeback tour. I mean, that's Jay-Z's other best friend. So you tell me whether this is an active middle finger to all of MAGA and the right wing by putting this guy who likes to dress in women's dresses and who hates the United States so much he won't come here because he's worried about ICE raiding his concert. as our Super Bowl entertainment?

1:27:59Stu Burguiere:I think it's more than a middle finger just to MAGA and conservatives in this country. I think it's a middle finger to what America's all about. You know, I don't watch football myself, but, you know, I remember watching the Super Bowl last year and seeing Kendrick Lamar perform. And I remember thinking if my grandparents were still alive, like, what would they think about watching this? Like, can't you put people on who actually like represent true American values, who have songs that everyone can dance to? But it's like TikTok slop and these people coming on with these songs that are vulgar and completely out there.

1:28:30Stu Burguiere:And so to me, it seems more, not even just against MAGA, but more of a breakdown against American culture. Like if you listen to this guy's songs, I'm telling you, these aren't the songs that you want to be showing your children and things like that. And it in no way represents what I think what the Super Bowl is supposed to represent, which is people coming together, enjoying a night where they can get with their family, their friends, and not have to be paraded around with this garbage that they play.

1:28:53Britt Mayer:I wonder whether this is what we're going to get subjected to. Here's Sat 38, where he's performing in drag.

1:29:10Britt Mayer:This is him, by the way. This very unattractive female-looking thing.

1:29:18Stu Burguiere:Okay, Brett.

1:29:20Britt Mayer:Okay, Britt, if that shows up at the Super Bowl, literally the fans are going to get up and walk out.

1:29:28Will Witt:Okay, I hadn't seen that, so this is just a whole new level. It is woke puke. That's all it is. It's a regurgitation of all the woke ideology in the flamboyant colors, in the obnoxious sounds. It's not English. And then what in the world? So is he trans? What is this guy? Unclear. I'm completely, okay, I'm so confused.

1:29:48Britt Mayer:He describes himself as sexually fluid. I mean, I don't want to hear bad bunny and fluid in the same sentence after seeing that video. How about we do Forrest Frank for the Super Bowl?

1:29:58Will Witt:Can we submit a petition? Forrest Frank, I would happily bring my kids to see that guy. Not a chance. Every parent should turn off as soon as that thing, whatever that is, comes on. Boycott it. That is so disturbing and gross.

1:30:14Britt Mayer:I would take Roseanne singing the national anthem again over this guy. anything. Literally anything. Okay. Speaking of leftist propaganda that finds its way into our children's lives, because that's the problem with the Superbowl, Whit, is that little kids watch it. You know, it's like every year they put something in the Superbowl that's inappropriate, whether it's Janet Jackson's boob or JLo showing us her vag and Shakira same. Like why? I remember my little guy was six when that happened. Six. Why is he seeing vag as he's trying to watch a football game with his family. And we think it's, you know, family entertainment.

1:30:52Britt Mayer:Now he's got to see this, this nightmare and the women's dress. I don't know what that is. And that takes me to Netflix, which has got what's what it's billing as a kid's show. Dear, I'm sorry, dead end paranormal park. Now, my youngest is 12. And now at the point where he can do some surfing on Netflix and I don't worry too much. You know, I do keep an eye on it. I'm not an idiot, but I'm just saying you start to loosen the reins as they get a little older. And I don't know that I would have marked dead end paranormal park as something I needed to pay too close attention to, but I'll show you why you do because here's season one, episode two, South 36.

1:31:34Britt Mayer:It's not the park. It's, it's me. I'm trans normal and everyone at school knows

1:31:42Stu Burguiere:and everyone at home knows. And being here, it's like a whole new place.

1:31:47Megyn Kelly:I can just be Barney. And I can choose if and when I tell people. I've never been happier. And that's saying something when I spent today chased by terrifying zombie mascots.

1:31:57Stu Burguiere:Puxley reminded me how important it is to live your life without apology. So I think I gotta give living here a shot. Don't you? You don't need my permission. I just wouldn't want Courtney as a roommate. will be the best friends.

1:32:14Britt Mayer:Unbelievable. This is a cartoon for those listening at home. And, and of course in here, well, you've got, um, I've never been happier, never been happier. Sure. Like continuing the lie about transing a child. Yeah.

1:32:27Stu Burguiere:Let's let the suicide rates speak for themselves. It's 70 % for these people who go and have these surgeries. I mean, to say that these people are happier is a laughable at best. So I think when you're seeing this, what you're really seeing is conditioning by the leftist media, by politics in general, by the sports that you were just talking about, putting these things in at the NFL or something like that. It is complete conditioning. And you're making these young kids impressionable and saying, oh, well, this is okay. I can be this. This is cool. This is on my TV. This is on the YouTube that I watch.

1:32:55Stu Burguiere:And so now I want to be this. And they go and tell their parents and the parents, which honestly, most of this falls back on them, are not going and saying, listen, you're not, you're not a boy. You were born a girl, right? They're not going and saying that. They're affirming what they're going and saying and not actually telling them that they're being lied to by the propagandizing media. The parents have to take a much bigger stand against these kind of things when this is going on, because if they don't, they're just going to keep getting away with it because the kids don't know any better.

1:33:21Stu Burguiere:They're watching this and just think, oh, it's cool. It's everywhere. It's everywhere.

1:33:24Britt Mayer:So you've got the Super Bowl doing this to us. You got Netflix doing this in a children's show that's a cartoon. And then just the other night, Wait, Law and Order. Law and Order SVU had an episode that was ripping on ice, trying to make ice look like a bunch of dirty bastards. The premise of the episode, I'm trying to get it straight in my head, but it was basically that an illegal immigrant was the only witness to a rape. And he didn't want to show up in court to testify because the evil ice was going to arrest him and deport him. So Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargaday, couldn't make her case because her eyewitness was an illegal and the big bad ice was going to take him away and made him reluctant to testify.

1:34:13Britt Mayer:Here's a scene, Sot 42.

1:34:18Stu Burguiere:Blasco, arrest him. What? Now. Arrest him now. That's the reason you're under arrest. Captain Benson, you're interfering with the federal operation. No, no, no, she's not. Jorge Ruiz is a material witness, and he's in the custody of the NYPD.

1:34:33Britt Mayer:Do you really want to help a rapist go free? He's ours, okay? Take him to holding.

1:34:38Stu Burguiere:Once he provides his testimony, no, no, we'll release him.

1:34:45Stu Burguiere:This you?

1:34:47Britt Mayer:He's holding up her card.

1:34:49Stu Burguiere:You have been obstructing this operation from the beginning. That is a federal charge. Put your hands behind your back.

1:34:56Britt Mayer:Oh, no.

1:35:02Britt Mayer:Captain. It's okay. Stand down. Curry. Stand down.

1:35:10Britt Mayer:Handing over her firearm. Everyone's looking disgusted at the ICE agent. The propaganda, Britt. In the face of ICE, getting literally shot at just days ago.

1:35:24Will Witt:Yes, that's what I was going to say. was didn't this episode air right after the ICE facility was targeted?

1:35:31Britt Mayer:Yes.

1:35:32Will Witt:I want to I just want to know if anyone's still falling for this. I mean, I'm sure there's like the subset, right? The minority, the typical actors who are going to fall for whatever is spoon fed. But the average American who knows now that ICE has been going in and making America safer, cleaning our streets so that we don't have more of the situations that have horrified us over the last few weeks with all of these stories of we have illegal aliens who are here illegally bringing harm to American citizens. So for smart thinkers, for the average American, I just wonder if this even passes the test anymore or if average Americans are seeing this and just seeing it for what it is.

1:36:13Will Witt:It's just shell propaganda. You can create a story to fit any narrative. I don't think that the average person sees that and thinks, oh, man, they really hit the nail on the head. I'm moved like this really shifts my perspective on ICE. And shame on all those actors. Shame on all those actors for propagating that.

1:36:30Britt Mayer:By the way, Mariska Hargaday likes to bill herself as like some woman's activist because she plays an SVU cop in a TV show. Where is she standing up for the Lake and Riley? Why isn't she standing up for Jocelyn Nangare, who was raped by a bunch of illegals and then thrown over a bridge at age 12? I don't think that's gonna make it into a Law & Order SVU episode, Will.

1:36:54Stu Burguiere:Yeah, if they really wanted to be accurate, they should have made the cartel or the illegal aliens the people who they should be going after. But they're never going to do that. And I just love this pandering where they make the liberal woman just seem like such the upstanding person and the white ice guy is just so evil and terrible. They always do this, where they make it so that they seem like they're so much smarter than us. They're so much better than us. They have so much more courage than us with everything that they do. And to be honest, I'm sick of it because you watch really anything on TV or in the movies nowadays.

1:37:26Stu Burguiere:I don't watch TV or movies now because they say the white guy like me is the bad guy every single time. And I'm tired of watching things where it says I'm the bad guy every single time. I don't want that. I want heroism. I want courage from people no matter what you look like or who you are versus just painting us out to be the villain every time. And I think most guys my age are just like, I'm turning all this off. I'm sick of this shit. I mean, it's just awful.

1:37:49Britt Mayer:It's another reason why Charlie's murder has so affected young men, because they've been told over and over that they're demons, that they're responsible for all of society's ills. And here was a young white man standing up to the mob saying, you don't have to believe that stuff. God loves you just as you are. All of us, even people he didn't want to support in their choices, like trans people, he would say, God loves you. You can have a better life than this rather than having these surgeries and so on. And what happened? He got shot down. And now they're watching. So a hero to them got killed in front of their very eyes and they're watching the left celebrate it.

1:38:25Britt Mayer:It's just all part of the same abuse that we are dumping on our young boys. It's deeply wrong. All right. I have to end it on a more lighter note because we just have to. We have to lighten the mood. And that brings me to Rosie O'Donnell, who I say for you, Britt. I save Rosie O'Donnell for you. Thank you. I was hoping. Thank you. She went on the really inaptly named Nicole Wallace's The Best People podcast and have had a revelation about her conversation with her therapist. OK.

1:38:58Stu Burguiere:When people say I changed my mind, we have to say welcome back to reality. Let's all be Americans together. Right. Because what's happening is not only happening to Democrats, it's happening to everyone. And when the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die, to die. What he's done yet hasn't even hit us yet. And if he's not stopped now, we have lost our country. And I don't know, Nicole, how it is that some people cannot see it. my therapist said, why are you so upset? And I said to her, why are you not? Yeah. Yeah.

1:39:48Britt Mayer:I have that conversation too, because the gaslighting that I think you're alluding to, um, if you're a thoughtful, informed person, you do stop and say, well,

1:39:58Stu Burguiere:well, maybe it is me.

1:40:01Britt Mayer:It is you that the therapist should have given it to her straight bread.

1:40:05Will Witt:she didn't need to pay for the therapy because they just figured it out together right there in real time for us all to see. Um, no, I think it's rich that Rosie O'Donnell is in exile. I think she's in Ireland because she's protesting Trump, but then she still really wants to do commentary on Trump. It's like, she can't quit him. It's like the boyfriend you break up with, but then you keep talking about him and obsessing over him and you're going on podcasts to talk about him. It's like just either you're over him and you're in Ireland happily, or just come back here, you know, like fight for what you want here.

1:40:37Will Witt:I think that it's rich that she left and she still can't leave Trump. It makes me laugh.

1:40:43Britt Mayer:I've got to play this last bite of her TikTok, Sot30C.

1:40:52Britt Mayer:Oh God, she's mouthing.

1:40:59Oh no.

1:41:05Britt Mayer:Oh, well, I don't know. You're young and you're hip. Does this change your opinion of Rosie O'Donnell at all?

1:41:14Stu Burguiere:I'm a fan now. I'm a huge fan now. After watching that, I'm going to go follow her, and I think I'll be doing everything that she does. I'm going to go talk to my therapist and ask why they're not so angry. They should be a lot angrier. You guys put her on the Super Bowl.

1:41:27Britt Mayer:She should go on the Super Bowl tour.

1:41:29Will Witt:Yeah, do the halftime show. I mean, Britt, as a former beauty queen, like a little foundation maybe?

1:41:35Britt Mayer:You know, just a little something.

1:41:37Will Witt:A little something, I guess. You know, just a little, a few touches. And I won't charge as much as her therapist. Come on, Rosie. You and I can talk. Just a little blow up. I think it can make her a lot happier. When you look better, you feel better. I was impressed with her lip sync. The lip sync was impressive. I, you know, I liked it. Okay.

1:41:54Britt Mayer:All right. So we left it on a positive note. Will has found his new role model and we will get back to you on how that goes. Great to see you both, Britt Mayer, Will Witt. Till the next time.

1:42:05Stu Burguiere:Thank you.

1:42:06Britt Mayer:All right, we're back tomorrow with Glenn Greenwald. See you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
