Comfortably Smug

Naturally, you are your husband's fiercest advocate. She's reading. And a close advisor. They're so fucking pathetic. And it's been reported that you created a sort of community around him and kind of limited his interactions with the media and others. Do you think you could have been too close to the situation to objectively gauge whether he could handle a full four more years?

100%.

Why do you think the vice president lost? And were you surprised?

Their tears.

No, I can't. I can't. Democrats are in such bad shape. Matt Brook mentioned it earlier, but their right now favorability rating is the worst it's been in over a generation. President Trump's favorability rating is the highest it has ever been. It's higher than it was on Election Day. The Democrats are trying to manufacture anything. This is beyond grasping at straws.

They see that they are falling into a pit and they're trying to grab anything they can. anything that they think will let them get some kind of traction. Because since election day, they've been just getting steamrolled nonstop. Americans could not be more thrilled seeing criminals, illegals getting deported out of this country. The media doesn't want to talk about egg prices.

Egg prices have halved in the past month. The story that they were trying to push that, oh my God, Biden killed all these chickens and now Trump's caused the egg prices to go up. Everything that they've tried to get Trump on has failed. This is going to go down in the same line. They're going to try to make a story out of this, and I completely agree with you.

The Trump administration should ignore this. Talk about the MS-13 guy you just arrested today and move on. Keep putting up Ws for the American people.

44%.

He's an absolute rock star. So he was elected class president for the incoming freshmen and for good reason. It's because of that. He showed up and he wanted to be the tip of the spear. He doesn't take any garbage.

I mean, every time you see the left try to come up with some dirty trick to go after President Trump to go after Republicans or like this, try to rob taxpayers like NPR has been doing, pushing their fake hoaxes. He holds them accountable. That's what you want from a member of Congress. He's off to a phenomenal start. And you love to see it.

You want to see this is the people that we are sending to Congress.

Go ahead. She's the embodiment of the whole problem. The left has now found itself in. They've been completely siloed off from the majority of people. The way she talks, she's doing a TED talk with such self-importance and and explain to people, here's the thing. There's lots of truths. You know, I run NPR. It's not important for me to give objective facts.

We're talking about we need to get across the message that we want people to believe.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right.

I mean, that's fake it till you make it. That's how you become the head of the Democrat Party. It's absolute fakery.

Come on. Have you no decency, man? Come on, you know.

Whoa, wait, what? Here's the thing.

I think, you know, among those selections that you gave us, number one, it overlooks lifetime achievement. Hillary Clinton, who famously when she goes in the south, all of a sudden is a southerner. But in those choices, three of those people are doing it out of political expediency. They're just your standard run the mill. There's political crook. Extra points for that, right? Yeah.

Well, I take waypoints. That's commonplace. In D.C., it's a dime a dozen finding someone who's going to lie and just play to the audience to get what they want out of them. Hilaria Baldwin is just crazy.

Exactly. It's so pure. It comes from a pure place of, like, I want to be crazy. I'm going to be totally nuts.

Boston University has just got a reputation for putting out horrible people. Wait, who's the other Bostonian? I think this is a known thing. Like, a lot of people from Boston University are just problems. Problems, problems, problems. It's a known thing. You're going to get a hate mail for that.

And you're right. That accent, it's like her channeling John Ossoff channeling Barack Obama. So it's like a copy of a copy. You know, it's like third rate.

I mean, I think that pretty much gives away the whole game of what is exactly happening right now with our media. You've got the establishment media that's in that White House briefing room, and they're concerned with Dave Portnoy's thoughts on what happened here. Only because it runs against Trump. They don't care about actual news.

And what struck me, he keeps referring to the guy as her boyfriend, like present tense. And all it did was remind me of President Trump. What's the name of that dinner that happens in New York? Al Smith. Al Smith's dinner, where he was like, I'm talking about the dudes for Kamala.

You know, they're all voting for Kamala, but it's fine because all their wives and wives' boyfriends are voting for me. Yeah. Alec Baldwin, I think he was talking about you. That's probably right.

They don't care about what Americans got from that story, which is, oh, wow. Terrorists got blown up. Terrific. They're trying to make this like some process gossipy, juicy story when there's nothing there to discuss. They're like, well, Dave Portnoy said this. It's like maybe you're a little bit way too online here.

Like, yeah, you're using your time in the White House press briefing room to talk about Dave Portnoy's thoughts.

13?

13.

Can I just have one second to be?

Go ahead, Simone. Not the voice of rationality like you have been. I support it. That's good. I know it's a bad take, but I like it and I support it. All the Democrats at their debate raised their hands and said, I'll give illegals free health care. You know, if you have an attractive woman, it gets more eyes online.

And what they're going to see is, shoot, if I try to enter the country illegally, I'm going to end up in this cage with a bunch of terrible people. And that doesn't look fun. I know it's absolutely bad for the legal system. And I'm counting on the Supreme Court to hurry up and do its job and help us out there. We can make bad decisions along the way. We can have a little bit of fun.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

yeah he got his money in hollywood now he's like nicely done smug the ladder was nicely done that was low no but i mean he got his money acting as a little person now he's saying it's demeaning for them to have those roles he acted as a dwarf on like the most popular show on tv for 10 years made millions of dollars now he's like how dare people hire dwarves to act as dwarves it's ridiculous but he got his money and they kicked the ladder down behind him

It's also a generational thing. I mean, her generation has basically grown up being told every opinion you have, post it online, share it with the world. You're the most special person. The world revolves around you. Everyone has to change to fit your beliefs because you're so special and you're so important and everything you say is validated and that's your truth.

And that's not going away anytime soon. The other problem is Disney keeps doing this shit.

They don't care how many times they lose money. I mean, this is they're going to learn a lesson. I mean, I don't think so. I mean, they're projected to lose between two and four hundred million on this. I mean, they're not going to learn their lesson.

Great to see you, Megan. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks for having us.

I mean, he shouldn't be completely glum. He's got a shot of being number one in the demo in Hawaii. Do you see what this is?

Oh, thank God. And that's exactly what we were talking about is he's had folks around him like Stephen Miller, who had four years to get ready for this moment, who saw the kind of nonsense that the bureaucracy does to keep Americans unsafe. And so now they're hitting the ground running ready for stuff like this.

Also, it's important to note this is a very American tradition, putting in checks and balances to ensure that America is a safe country of laws. It's a wonderful day for all Americans.

That's the thing is, so the thing is, the Bill of Rights applies to citizens, right? I think you learned that, what, third grade? Is that third grade?

And this is very necessary because there's a lot of already very troubling things that are happening. The other day it was reported that the Denver public school system, taxpayer funded, is sending out emails advising illegal aliens and their families how to avoid ICE. That's taxpayer funding that's going towards breaking the law.

So things like this are incredibly necessary when you see across this country that institutions that we ourselves are paying for as taxpayers are trying to help individuals break the law, which can lead to things like innocent people getting murdered. So it's wonderful seeing how focused the Trump administration is on making sure that is dealt with.

No, it turns out maybe they're not sending their best. And it's right there. Everyone understood. We had we've been saying for a while when when there was a Democrat primary happening in 2020 and they asked during a debate, will you provide, you know, free health care housing for illegal immigrants? Raise your hand if you did, if you do. And every single one of those people did.

The message was heard loud and clear around the world. Get across the border. Break the law. It's free stuff all the way. Those days have come to an end. So many Democrats are saying, no, no, that's not the message. Look, we had Kamala say, do not come. That means that we were serious about this.

The second important thing to point out is you hear all these nonsense rules that were put in place by Mayorkas of, oh, there's these sensitive areas. You can't enforce the law here. Oh, you have to take down these barriers and let them come in. This was willful. This invasion was willful. This was part of the plan that they had in place. There needs to be lawsuits against Maricus.

He didn't get a pardon. He didn't get a pardon. This didn't just happen in his watch. He enabled and encouraged this to happen. There needs to be accountability.

And also beyond that, I know for a long time it's been a punchline, and rightfully so, the whole self-deportation idea. But when you take away things like birthright citizenship, there's no longer a reason to stay here. You got to go. There's nothing left. If you show up here hoping to just have a child and that's a U S citizen, and then they can get you a green card and you can play that game.

That's been going for way too long. You take that away. And all of a sudden there is no point here because eventually I'm looking for you. Yeah.

So here are your rights right there. The data shows a drop of 95 percent right there. The initial reaction from the media, I remember on Monday, you had 50 journos taking video of, oh, this is a migrant who's trying to get in and they're crying now. Oh, isn't that horrible? They're crying.

I can't

Every one of those journalists got played because Monday was also Martin Luther King Day and the DHS is closed. There are no appointments that can be made on Martin Luther King Day. But if you're a migrant crying, your word is golden. The Constitution of the United States, that's how immigration works. Oh, that's necessary. We have someone crying and telling journos a lie.

I mean, you just read what the thing does. I mean, the good news is congratulations to CLF and the NRCC. Your ad is ready to go for the midterm for $156,000.

It's like the Voltaire quote where he said, I ask God for but one wish that my enemies be absurd. And he granted it. And Trump has been given that in spate. The more that they try to sound crazy and say, just because someone's covered in gang tattoos and breaks the law entering the country doesn't mean they're a criminal. Actually, that's exactly what it means.

And when you're wearing a flag that says, I'm a member of a gang, you're probably a member of a gang.

And I think Holmes is exactly right. This is the playbook that the left and especially Senate Democrats go to again and again and again. They did to Clarence Thomas. They did to Kavanaugh. They had some sketchy lawyer show up and say, oh, I think that there was a gang rape that this guy was taking part in. And the media ran with it like it was gospel.

And we find out that lawyer goes to jail because they're crooked.

It is immoral.

I think, you know, you pointed out on X this morning, there was even an article in political where they said, it's time to admit Trump is a great president. There has been a significant shift. I think a lot of the smarter people in the media have picked up on when someone wins a landslide victory and the popular vote. Clearly, the people have spoken.

Also, how much more obvious can you get you're in the wrong line of work if you say, I have a challenge being objective? Okay. You just said you need a new job. Get out of there. Maybe a columnist. Yeah.

And if you're a journalist, there's nothing left to try to grift your way into a book deal saying that this is Hitler or anything. The people have spoken loud and clear. And you look at the guy. He's having the time of his life. It's because I think part of it is he's reflecting the energy right back at people. I was struck when we were done recording our episode yesterday.

I'm driving past the White House, and I just smiled. And it struck me, it's been a while since I was excited about where our country's going, the people we have in charge. Good days are ahead. That kind of optimism had been completely crushed by the American people for four years. The American people are ready to be happy.

So that's the thing is the funniest joke we ever pulled on the Democrats was convincing them that Project 2025 wasn't real. Yeah, that's exactly right. And to, I mean, Russ's credit, he's perfectly composed at these hearings. I don't know how he maintains the composure to not just come forward and be like, it's over, we won. Yes, we're going to do Project 2025. And here's the thing is it's good.

And he's going to be managing OMB. So one of the things to consider is everyone thinks Project 2025 only has to deal with abortion. When you're managing the budget, there's tremendous economic benefits. I've been told by reliable source, for example, There's going to be so many jobs created because all the red robes and bonnets are going to be made here in America. So many jobs will be created.

That is really and that's the crime. That's the critical thing is this was these people were incredibly corrupt because they used the fact that they had access to that intelligence as a meal ticket. They signed these contributor contracts so that they could say, oh, you know, Clapper, he has a security clearance and, you know, he's a paid contributor. And he says this bears the hallmarks.

Of Russian disinformation. So he can just use the fact that he has security clearance to get himself a nice little picture. You're the viewer.

So I started hearing murmurs about this a while ago, too. And I guess so Ash Ashbrook and he confirmed because he was a psychic there. We did it with a psychic. Yeah. And so that's the thing is how awesome must have that situation been that the psychic was like, I see a president in your past that you're currently dating. And he's like, oh, it's Barack. You're right.

When a woman tells another woman, yeah, you can tell me I'll keep a secret. The phone's already out. Now it's about to hit a group chat. So that is, to me, the most conclusive piece of evidence.

I've only been married a year, but I've already learned you take the photos, you show it to the wife and then you distribute it.

And that's the thing is, so the Bidens and Obama hate each other because Michelle Obama is very good friends with Hunter Biden's ex-wife. So that's led to a significant problem where they don't like Hunter. And if you don't like Hunter, Joe doesn't like you. So I would not be surprised if Holmes is right on with this of like, oh, well, why don't we do this?

It's like, oh, man, you give us problems. Maybe you can have a problem or two. Bingo.

And that's, it's clearly not a partisan thing. Like Michelle is not trying to resist. So she skipped the inauguration because she also skipped the Carter funeral. There's something happening there. There's something there.

Such a lost opportunity because the cartel boss gets a little choppo.

How come they're not trolling? Like, this is not satire? No. We checked. We thought this was parody. It's real. I want to make a movie that's just so blatant. Like that's, I mean, like that has to be a show. It feels like the South Park guys could have come up with that.

Robin Williams, posthumous, the best actress.

Is this like Matt Walsh's secret movie? Is he actually behind this?

It was like Forrest Gump.

You know what I mean? Like Schindler's List, Braveheart. These were films that won and had huge audiences. What a wild business model for Hollywood to try to turn a profit. Now, when it's easier than ever to get your film in front of people's eyeballs, they could stream it. Still, people choose not to watch this and they're like, oh, because it's too good of art.

Yeah. I think you're a hundred percent right is that that was the missing component. And also for the American people, even when Trump came to power just now, there was a bit of kind of like lowered expectations because you're like, I remember the first time there were all these people stabbing in the back, there were all these lawsuits, everything got bogged down.

You had issues with like the house and the Senate garbling up his agenda, slowing it down. You have none of that this time, and the difference is loyalty. Everyone's on the same page.

They learned so much from that first administration, how the media would treat them, how people that were brought in just because, oh, well, he's got the right resume, not necessarily that they are 100% loyal to Trump and his agenda, which the American people resoundingly support. So there's no need to lower expectations now.

We've seen in the first 48 hours, breakneck speed, he's delivering exactly what the American people wanted.

And what he said he would do. Exactly.

Yeah, can you believe it? Every time. I don't think we should allow him to come.

Yeah, there's plenty of things that, you know, RFK has said that I might not agree with, but I don't think he's crazy. I think the world in which we were living in during COVID was crazy. If you said, hmm, maybe it's likely that if we have a level five lab studying coronaviruses, in Wuhan, China, that maybe the virus leaked out of the lab. You were crazy.

If you suggested perhaps that instead of getting a vaccine, if you got natural immunity, you might be covered. That was supposed to be crazy. If you question the fact that you had to be six feet from everyone and wear a mask on your face around, you know, living your life like that was going to stop anything. You were crazy. Kids had to be vaccinated. Kids with robust

You know, immunities had to be vaccinated. You were crazy. So, yeah, in that world, RFK is one of the sanest people on the planet. Totally.

Like, I think this is the discussion that people are having at dinners across this country. And like her experience of being somebody who's like, I'm kind of in the middle. Maybe I have some conservative opinions. And then the world changed and the left changed. I feel like that is a view reflected across this country.

And we saw that on election day, you know, there are, I know people in my personal life who didn't consider themselves Republicans, big R Republicans, but like they came out and voted early for up and down the ballot. Right. Like, right. It's what they did to the world.

And it's COVID, it's censorship, it's everything that I think has really moved, not just the Megyn Kellys of the world, but like, you know, just moms and dads across the country.

I do. I mean, well, Trump's the only guy I know who, when he plays golf, listens to Andrea Bocelli. Yeah. You know, so he clearly has a soft spot for the arts and I can appreciate that. And I would like to highlight that the Kennedy Center is showing Les Mis coming this summer. And I think that's a fantastic production.

But my the thing that really grinds the thing that really grinds my gears about the Kennedy Center. The Kennedy Center is, you know, it's surrounded by some of the wealthiest zip codes in America, all of America. Yeah. And a community that does a lot of philanthropic activity. Why is it that the Kennedy Center needs to be funded by Congress in any way, shape or form? Great point.

You know, if everybody agrees that it's this great cultural testament to the United States of America, raise the money from private sources.

I mean, it's just so great. What a showman. People don't like appreciate what a sense of humor Donald Trump has. And he's willing to make fun of himself. And all these liberals in Hollywood and stuff used to love that about him. If you ever see the SNL clip of Trump wings when he's doing the wings promotion, it's hysterical.

Ashbrook brings up a really good point about, you know, what really is the deep state? You know, I think in the common vernacular, we've come to think of the deep state as like this intelligence apparatus or this blob that really impeded the success of Donald Trump in his first administration. But it's wider than that. It's this permanent bureaucracy that exists in Washington, D.C.

Yeah, where are the jokes in his late night show? That's a thing. That's what I want to know. You know, I mean, like, I think Taylor Swift got out pretty easily. Usually when Philly fans show up, they bring batteries.

to stop progress, to stop the government from being efficient. Or any change. Any change at all, right? And so, I mean, that's what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are up against, is all of these bureaucrats who've suckled at the teat of government for their entire lives, and they don't want that to change.

Yeah. I thought you'd appreciate that. Following your lead, Megan.

Yeah.

Yeah. We, we haven't invested enough in key man insurance, so we got to stay alive. Yeah. You know, but like, look, I guess what I'd say to your audience, anybody listening is, you know, there's no better feeling than peace of mind, especially when, you know, you have people relying on you like children and stuff. And so if you're not doing it for yourself, do it for them.

How dare they hire an actor to act, you know?

To your point, Megan, I mean, the silence of the people who worked with her the longest on the previous show tells you everything you need to know. It reminds me a little bit of that stand up special that Dave Chappelle did talking about Juicy Smalley when the gay community was mad at the black community for not defending Juicy enough. And Dave Chappelle says we were defending him with our silence.

Yeah.

And I think all the people from Gossip Girl know that she can be a lot. And that's probably why they stayed silent.

Thank you so very much. Thank you.

Yeah, all these liberal entrenched NGOs are like a J.G. Wentworth commercial. They're like, it's my money and I want it now.
