Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. We have a lot to get into today, including a bombshell Time Magazine piece about foreign influence and social media. This thing has taken the internet by storm and is behind one of the most viral moments between Vice President J.D. Vance and Joe Rogan this week. Basically, we have a foreign country trying to interfere in the American body politic. If you go on X, if you go on Instagram, if you go on TikTok, you're being manipulated by Israel. They're not the only ones, but boy, they are the biggest. That seems clear. They're spending tens of millions of dollars to influence how you think. If you have doubts about Israel's presence in America, about if you're skeptical about just how much influence they should have over American politics and the congressman you elect to serve your home district to worry about your pocketbook, you're an anti-Semite.
Megyn Kelly 1:55
That's the campaign that they are unleashing. They cloak it in the, oh, we're just trying to fight anti-Semitism lie. That's not it. They're trying to destroy anyone who raises questions about Israeli influence in America over our president or when it comes to this Iran war. It's disgusting. Go worry about your own fucking politics and get out of the United States, okay? This show has called out the Palestinians for their propaganda campaign from the start. We are not under any delusions about how good Hamas is at propaganda. We get it. We've reported on it extensively. However, there are select few programs and journalists or influencers who will be honest about what Israel is doing. And this is one of them.
Megyn Kelly 2:48
So they don't get a pass just because they're an ally, because in many ways they're not behaving like it. Look, they care about themselves. I get it. We're supposed to care about ourselves. We're not supposed to be unleashing influence campaigns against American citizens who have genuine good faith doubts about foreign policy and the direction we're going. That that is Israel shouldn't be able to manipulate American citizens with all of its money in that way. But that's what it's doing. And they're using a guy who helped get Trump elected in 2016. His name is Brad Parscale. We've told you about him before. This happens to be a guy with whom I've had a very good relationship for many years. That is until I expressed my own doubts about Israel's role in our politics and its influence over our foreign affairs excursions.
Megyn Kelly 3:49
And then you'll be shocked, shocked to learn I appear to have come within the crosshairs of this man as well. But it's not about me. It's about many, many people on the right. who've expressed doubts on this issue. Israel no longer has majority support among the country at all. All independents have turned against them. Virtually all Democrats have turned against them. Virtually all young Republicans have turned against them. And by young, I mean under 50. And now their approval rating in the over 50 crowd is waning. So it's a very large group of Americans whom they'd have to target if they really want to turn around sentiment on their behavior. And it's happening. And the galling part is they are using one of our own.

What was Megyn Kelly's opening claim about foreign influence on social media?

Megyn Kelly 4:38
They're using an American conservative who helped get Trump elected in 2016, but hasn't spoken to the president in six years. He's out. He's out now to do it. The White House is also now under attack. reportedly from this guy because he's pissed that they tried to settle the Iran war. Trump tried in good faith to settle this thing with a memorandum of understanding. And what happened? This guy used his little influencer army to attack the president.
