What controversial edits did CBS make in the 60 Minutes interview?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We have got a whole lot of news to bring to you today. I'm in a remote location again because my kids are on spring break, but I am not. There's a lot happening in this world, and so we decided to keep the plugs into our system and keep the news being brought to you guys. Oil has surged over $100 a barrel amid the fallout from this Iranian war. We're going to tell you what that could mean for you. It's not good. President Trump doesn't seem concerned about it. I'm sure he is watching it, but. He thinks, you know, short term, we're going to be able to deal with this, which sounds somewhat reassuring. But, you know, it's tough because gas prices have already gone up and over $100 a barrel is no bueno.
An improvised explosive device thrown at a protest. Did you see this near the mayor's home in New York City? And how he is restyling this into something about white supremacy is very bizarre. This is as his own police commissioner is investigating this. As an act of terrorism, the guy was yelling Allahu Akbar as he threw an IED- at cops, but somehow this is an act of white supremacy because the protesters there were saying they didn't want Islam taking over New York, but they weren't the ones who threw the bomb. You see, the bomb was being thrown at them and at cops, something the mayor weirdly omitted from his tweet, which took over 24 hours, responding to the incident. This is what we're dealing with in New York now.
But we have got to begin this hour with what happened on 60 Minutes last night, who just cannot seem to help themselves making deceptive edits. All right. Yesterday, 60 Minutes aired Major Garrett, my old pal from Fox News. This does not appear to have been his sin, though I don't know whether he signed off on this or not. This would have been an editorial call by the network. But they aired his interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. about what's happening in Iran. Here is part, okay, about, this is what actually aired, right? About Israel possibly dragging the United States into war. Listen, this is what was presented to the CBS audience. Some normally enthusiastic supporters of the president have criticized him, suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled the U.S.
into a war that, to their minds, did not put American interests first. Do you want to address that criticism? All I know is I'm in the room every day and I see how President Trump operates and what he's putting first, and it's America, Americans, and American interests. Okay, so there you see Pete Hegseth defending... Bibi Netanyahu charges about Israel's interference in the war. Well, thanks to President Trump's complaint about 60 Minutes edits of Kamala Harris's interview and how deceptive they were, CBS now posts the unedited interviews of newsmakers as well. And let me tell you, the question asked was very different.
How does the U.S. justify potential military action against Iran?
That was not the question that Major Garrett asked. He did not ask anything about Bibi Netanyahu or Israel, nor did then Pete go on to rehabilitate anything in response to Israel. All right, we took a look at the Hegseth interview in full. It's notable how the Q&A you saw never mentioned Israel at all. Only someone at CBS tried to go back and change the question to make it about Israel such that the answer would then rehabilitate Israel, which isn't what actually happened. Look at this. This is the actual Q&A as it unfolded. You mentioned America First. Some who identify with that movement, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, have said from their perspective this isn't an America First campaign.
Do you want to address that criticism? All I know is I'm in the room every day and I see how President Trump operates and what he's putting first and it's America, Americans, and American interests at every level. How long should our bases be tolerating thousands of short-range ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones pointing at our bases and our people?
