It's just one of the reasons why I was so interested to talk to her about her professional evolution, her volatile relationship with President Trump, and what she thinks some people, myself included, don't understand about how the media has changed forever. Here's my conversation with Megyn Kelly. Thank you.
Megan, one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you is because you're really forging this new path. And I think to fully sort of understand your career, I wanted to start early. Before you were a journalist, you were a lawyer at Jones Day, which is one of the toughest, notorious firms out there for being just like a big international law firm that only takes the best of the best.
When you walked through that door, were you a tough person?
I know there was a time when you were working days as a lawyer and then nights and weekends learning TV journalism. What did you feel that you could do as a journalist that you couldn't do as a litigator?
In 2004, you get to Fox. What were your politics then? Did you feel attracted to the news organization because it was conservative, or were you just thinking, this is my way in, it's the big time?
Why do you think that was? Because it was good TV or because he thought they should be challenged?
So that approach became one of your hallmarks, this thing of being able to call balls and strikes specifically on a conservative network against conservatives. That was unusual. And in 2015, there was the very famous Republican primary debate, and you had a question for Donald Trump where you asked him to explain why he had called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.
And then he retaliated against you. His attacks were relentless after that year. You've talked about this a lot, but what I would like to understand in hindsight now, why do you think he came after you?
You've talked a lot about what a terrible year that was and having to go with armed guards and, you know, having his supporters come after you. Do you have sort of residue from that period?
In 2016, you and other female Fox employees accused Roger Ailes of sexual harassment. And again, this is a pretty well-documented time in your life. There was a movie about it. And ultimately, you were instrumental in getting him fired. Did you feel at Fox that people were angry at you because of what you'd done, certain people?
What was that call with Lachlan like, though, when you called him up and told him?
I don't want to spend too much time here because I do want to get to today. Because of your comments about blackface and Halloween, ostensibly, there was a lot of other things going on at that moment. But ostensibly, that was the reason that you were arrested.
Did you feel during that period that people were turning their back on you? Like, because there had been this big flame out at NBC, that just all that world that you had inhabited had sort of rejected you?
This was the moment when, you've talked about this on your new show, when you sort of decided the mainstream media is not for me.
Yeah. I mean, you've talked about finding a third version of Megyn Kelly with your new show, which is on YouTube. Looking at the early days of your show, when you first started, it was very much like you were an anchor on television. And now you look a lot looser. Yes.
One of the things that you just did, which is a red line for most journalists, is that you showed up at one of Donald Trump's rallies right before the election and you formally endorsed him. Once you endorse a politician on stage at a rally, I don't think you can reasonably be called independent anymore. Or do you see it differently?
But then going and actively campaigning, standing on stage and, you know, giving him a hug and a kiss. It is different. And I think a lot of people saw you endorsing Trump as caving, as essentially going to where the power is.
And you know the symbolism of it, of course, which is someone who so famously had been at odds with him that he had done so much to, to publicly stand up and embrace him, was significant to a lot of people.
I understand the fervor within which you embrace some of his policies. But what you were talking about there was the person himself, the things that he has been accused of, credibly accused of, and what you yourself experienced. I'll give you the perspective on it.
You really think it's fair game that you as a journalist ask a fair question based on things that he'd said and he put you through that for a whole year? You think that's fair?
