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. I want to tell you later today, we have an interview with one of the heroes from Team USA Olympic men's hockey team, the gold medal winners. Matthew Kachuk will join me in an interview. I think you're going to find him totally charming. Very excited to show you this. We taped it yesterday and we all just fell in love all over again. He was wonderful. So anyway, you're going to enjoy that. But we begin today with the news as America's war in Iran continues. And if you look at the early polling, there are serious questions among the If you are having questions about what the mission is, you are not alone. For example, a Washington Post poll lists eight choices for what people think the Trump administration's main goal is in Iran.
The top response, show power or take control, which gets 14%. 14%. The lowest response, protecting U.S. and allies, gets 7%. So every answer, all eight, gets between 7% and 14%. The American people do not know why we're doing this. I mean, when you're getting no more than 14% for each possibility, the American people is confused. They are confused. They don't know why we're doing this. And what you're seeing now is support falling basically along partisan lines. Republicans, a majority, support the president. Independents and Democrats are totally against the president on this war. which makes some sense because, look, I've told you guys for the past 20 plus years, I'm a registered independent. I haven't been a registered Republican in more than two decades.
And I'm with the independents. You know, as I told you yesterday, most of my Republican audience is supporting the president on it, although a lot aren't. And actually, there's an interesting poll showing it's breaking down more severely along gender lines where a hefty majority of women are against it. And men are split almost 50-50. So that's all very interesting, but there is no question that the American people don't understand why we're doing it. So they're kind of resorting. The hard partisans, Dems and Republicans, are resorting to their... You know, they're they're partisan stripes like I support Trump. I hate Trump.
What are the American public's views on the Iran war?
And kind of going from there. It's also hard to follow what's actually been happening on the ground. After all, we have no ground troops in Iran yet. But here's the latest as we understand it. According to multiple reports, the Israeli Air Force struck a building where senior clerics had gathered in Iran to elect the new supreme leader. The Assembly of Experts has 88 members, though it's not known how many were in the building at the time or if there were any casualties. I mean, why are they still meeting above ground? You have to ask yourself. That doesn't seem smart. Not exactly sure what they're thinking over there. Iran is also fighting back outside of its borders. And somewhat effectively, both the U.S.
embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are now closed after they came under drone attacks. As of now, thank God, no reported casualties. We hope it stays that way. But they are definitely causing trouble for the United States and for Israel. Before we get into the details of that, the State Department not taking any chances, officially urging all Americans in the region to, quote, depart now due to serious safety risks. But people cannot get out. I mean, have you seen the videos of the long, long lines at the airport in places like Dubai? They can't get out. They didn't have a heads up that this was going to happen. And now they're being told, get out now, get out now. Well, they can't. The lines are too long.
The flights are too few. There's chaos at the airports. And there are a lot of Americans over there who are starting to panic that they may not be able to get out as the interceptors that stop the missiles from falling on these areas are running low. And that's one scary piece of all this. Iran, while it may or may not have been building up its nuclear arsenal since we devastated it or obliterated, to use Trump's word, in late June, it certainly has been building up its missile storage capacity, thanks to, in part, China.
