=== Sneak Peek of Premiere (02:47) ===

[00:00:00]  Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111, every weekday at least.
[00:00:11]  Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly.
[00:00:13]  Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, coming to you live today from SiriusXM in Los Angeles, California.
[00:00:19]  Here to see Gavin Newsome for a tough, hard-hitting interview.
[00:00:22]  No, I'm not.
[00:00:23]  No, he would not agree to that.
[00:00:24]  He's not that dumb.
[00:00:26]  I'm in LA for the premiere of the Daily Wire's first animated scripted series, Mr. Burcham.
[00:00:32]  Mr. Burcham is a character created decades ago by a friend of the show, Adam Carolla.
[00:00:37]  He's a wood shop teacher who's having trouble dealing with a world gone woke.
[00:00:41]  He doesn't look much like children or kind of anyone other than like his daughter and maybe his wife.
[00:00:48]  And Adam created this character years ago, but no network would touch it for fear of offending the wrong people.
[00:00:55]  It features a star-studded cast, including comedians Roseanne, Kyle Dunnegan.
[00:01:00]  Do you guys remember when he came on the show and he did like Trans Trump?
[00:01:03]  You gotta do it.
[00:01:04]  It was amazing.
[00:01:05]  Jay Moore, remember him?
[00:01:06]  Jerry McGuire, Daily Wire's own Brett Cooper, and my friend Sage Steele.
[00:01:11]  She's also in it.
[00:01:12]  I'm actually making my okay.
[00:01:15]  The script says acting debut.
[00:01:16]  That's not true.
[00:01:17]  Goodbye.
[00:01:18]  Repeat after Nate, who was the guy who walked me through it debut, as the voice of Mr. Bertram's super hot, no, she's not, wife, Wendy.
[00:01:29]  So we all gathered together last night to premiere the very first episode, which you can watch this weekend at Daily Wire Plus.
[00:01:36]  Here's a sneak peek.
[00:01:42]  What about their allergies?
[00:01:44]  Maybe those days could be lactose intolerant.
[00:01:47]  No, we can't say intolerance.
[00:01:48]  We have a zero tolerance policy for mentioning intolerance.
[00:01:52]  Mommy, the wife.
[00:01:54]  The bottle.
[00:01:54]  Don't make this a prison.
[00:01:56]  Richard Burcham.
[00:01:57]  Bircham Bircham, Mr. Burcham.
[00:01:59]  Hey, Burcham.
[00:02:00]  Bircham.

[00:02:20]  The premiere was so much fun.
[00:02:22]  I have so many stories to share.
[00:02:23]  When Brett Cooper, Kyle Dunnegan, and Roseanne join me in just a bit, but we begin today with the man who started it all, my TV husband, Adam Carolla.
[00:02:35]  Hi, how are you?
[00:02:36]  Good.
[00:02:37]  How you feeling?
[00:02:38]  You know, a little hungover.
[00:02:40]  It was early, early, late night and early morning.
[00:02:44]  That's right.
[00:02:45]  But I made it with moments to spare.

=== Pressure-Treated Two by Fours (04:06) ===

[00:02:48]  And I drove through to get here from where my house is.
[00:02:51]  I had to go right through one homeless encampment to another homeless encampment.
[00:02:57]  I went from the Glendale homeless encampment to the Hollywood homeless encampment.
[00:03:03]  And it's, there's so much garbage everywhere.
[00:03:06]  What's happening?
[00:03:07]  I saw just last night at the premiere, which was in Hollywood.
[00:03:11]  You basically had to step through tents to make it into the building.
[00:03:16]  Yeah, I will, let me give your listeners, fans, a very true and real world example of what LA is.
[00:03:27]  If they kind of want to know what it is in a nutshell, they're very tough on taxpayers and very easy on criminals or homeless people or whatever.
[00:03:38]  For some, they have rules.
[00:03:39]  And if you're in the class that they have regulations and rules for, you have lots of rules and regulations.
[00:03:46]  So meaning I had a friend who opened a restaurant several blocks from here.
[00:03:52]  And I said, how's it going?
[00:03:54]  And they said, well, the restaurant's not really ready, but we can't really do the takeout sandwich part either.
[00:04:00]  And I said, why not?
[00:04:01]  And he said, we don't have one of those blowers.
[00:04:04]  It hasn't come in yet.
[00:04:05]  That when you open the window to hand them the sandwiches, the air flows the opposite way.
[00:04:10]  So flies don't come in or whatever.
[00:04:12]  I said, you can't just open your window and give someone a sandwich.
[00:04:15]  No, they won't let us open until we get our blower in from Canada or whatever.
[00:04:20]  And it's delayed.
[00:04:22]  I said, up and down the same street you're on, there's people shopping carts with propane tanks cooking hot dogs and selling to everyone, you know, mayonnaise tub that came from Sylmar in the back of a van.
[00:04:34]  There's people just serving food on the street everywhere.
[00:04:36]  It's like, yeah, they don't care about them.
[00:04:38]  They care about us because we have a license and a liquor license and pay taxes and what have you.
[00:04:45]  I called the Malibu Anawalt Lumber, a lumber store, because like Mr. Bertram, carpenter, and I was building a project and I called the Anawalt Lumber in Malibu and I said, you got three-quarter CDX, good one-side plywood.
[00:05:03]  And they said, yeah, we got it.
[00:05:04]  And I said, you have pressure-treated two by fours.
[00:05:06]  And they said, yeah, we got pressure-treated two by fours, which is just two by fours that are meant to go against masonry.
[00:05:14]  And I said, they said, we can cut the plywood if you want, but we can't cut the pressure-treated two by fours because it's an OSHA regulation, meaning the two by fours have something in them.
[00:05:30]  I guarantee you can cut a pressure-treated two by four at an Anawalt lumber at any state in the union, except for California.
[00:05:37]  They won't let it.
[00:05:38]  And by the way, when you buy your two by fours, you just go home and cut them.
[00:05:43]  But they can't cut them in Malibu at Anawalt Lumber, but there's throngs of homeless people flopped out everywhere.
[00:05:52]  And if you drive down PCH a mile away from Anawalt Lumber, there's going to be beat up Winnebagos just parked on the side of the street, people dealing meth and, you know, living out of those things.
[00:06:05]  So it's like infinite regulation for people who follow rules, like literally telling a business who's a lumberyard, you can't cut some of the wood that you sell because OSHA will not allow it.
[00:06:21]  But you can flop anywhere, sleep anywhere, and throw as much garbage on the street as you want.
[00:06:25]  Well, yeah, I'm last night.
[00:06:26]  I was like, are we in a bad area of town?
[00:06:28]  And they're like, no.
[00:06:29]  You're just in Hollywood.
[00:06:30]  Right.
[00:06:31]  What you were saying reminded me of we took a trip recently as a family and in my toiletry bag, which we were carrying on, I had a pair of scissors.
[00:06:38]  You know, they kind of like whatever.
[00:06:40]  They were kind of long, not a full shear, but pretty close to a full shear.
[00:06:44]  And fine, I went right through.
[00:06:46]  My daughter had a like six ounce bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo.
[00:06:53]  She got, they confiscated it.

=== Weighing on Her After Cancellation (04:59) ===

[00:06:55]  They patted her.
[00:06:56]  It's like, you can see this is a 12-year-old girl with a, and it was not opened yet.
[00:07:01]  So the seal was still on it.
[00:07:03]  Just what Al-Qaeda would do.
[00:07:05]  They glue that seal back on after putting the colored nitroglycerin in the bottle.
[00:07:11]  You know, their advertisement for Johnson's baby shampoo was no more tears.
[00:07:16]  But that day, it was a different day.
[00:07:18]  There were tears.
[00:07:19]  It makes no sense.
[00:07:20]  It's so aggravating.
[00:07:21]  This is just the kind of thing that Mr. Burcham would be railing about.
[00:07:24]  Yes.
[00:07:25]  Thank you for bringing it back to Mr. Burcham.
[00:07:27]  All right.
[00:07:28]  So I tell you, last night I thought was very cool.
[00:07:30]  I've never been to one of those things before, like a premiere of a show.
[00:07:34]  And I love that you had a wooden carpet because Mr. Burcham is a shopkeeper instead of a red carpet.
[00:07:40]  And I think it's a shop teacher.
[00:07:42]  I think you said shopkeeper.
[00:07:43]  Yeah, shop.
[00:07:44]  Makes me an old time guy who sells candles.
[00:07:47]  You're the shop teacher.
[00:07:48]  I think it's fair to say that when we went on stage after the premiere of the first episode, Roseanne stole the show away.
[00:07:56]  Do you agree with me?
[00:07:57]  I do.
[00:07:58]  She was so funny.
[00:08:00]  She was doing this thing where she was laughing loud in her Roseanne laugh at the whole show, everybody's parts.
[00:08:07]  And then when she got up there, she talked a bit about what it meant to her to come back.
[00:08:13]  This is her first animated series since the cancellation, first TV series, really, since the cancellation of her show.
[00:08:20]  Were you surprised at how it still weighs on her?
[00:08:24]  You know, I'll tell you one thing I've really learned from celebrities is you think maybe they're wired different than other folk and maybe they don't see things or hang on to things or they have so much money that it really doesn't things sort of roll off of them because they land in this beautiful house with beautiful accoutrements and drive beautiful cars.
[00:08:55]  Most celebrities I know hang on to stuff and have sort of just as much sort of rage, jealousy, animosity as anybody I've ever worked with on a construction site and more.
[00:09:08]  Like they, you know, it's really weird.
[00:09:10]  Like if you talk to Sylvester Stallone, you're not going to talk about all the victories.
[00:09:17]  You're going to talk about some movie that was supposed to, you know, he'll, yeah, you'll break, you'll talk about Cobra or Driven or something, like one of his movies that didn't work that well.
[00:09:27]  And then he'll go into this thing about we had a good script and the executive screwed it up and they gave us this crappy director.
[00:09:34]  And I was like, okay, let's just talk about Rocky.
[00:09:37]  Yeah, right.
[00:09:37]  You know what I mean?
[00:09:38]  None of us is harboring that for you.
[00:09:40]  Right.
[00:09:40]  Now, they, it's, but I think there is something in the achievers where they, every pro athlete I've ever, any big time pro successful athlete I've ever interviewed can tell you when they screwed up in the game in high school or when they screwed up in the game in college.
[00:10:02]  Like it's baked into their mind.
[00:10:04]  It's, it's, it's not the victories.
[00:10:06]  They, they remember the losses and they, they're really hard on themselves and they really dwell on it.
[00:10:13]  I mean, Roseanne's not hard on herself, but they're angry about the losses.
[00:10:17]  Yeah.
[00:10:18]  The woman who made a million dollars an episode when she was the queen of sitcoms in, you know, 1991 dwells on the loss.
[00:10:28]  I look at her, I'm like, she's Roseanne.
[00:10:30]  You know, she's one of those people who you know by a first name.
[00:10:33]  She's so gifted.
[00:10:35]  She got completely ramroded by her fellow castmates, by ABC, by the executives and so on.
[00:10:41]  And I think, she must be past that, right?
[00:10:43]  She's got to be past all that.
[00:10:45]  It still burns her.
[00:10:46]  And she's still really, and, you know, you think back to how they took that show away from her when it was, she, she had brought it back and they were number one again.
[00:10:53]  And then anyway, so good for you.
[00:10:55]  It's the cowardly castmates that drive me nuts.
[00:10:57]  Yeah.
[00:10:58]  Sarah Gilbert was the worst.
[00:10:59]  She's the worst.
[00:11:00]  The worst.
[00:11:00]  She's the worst.
[00:11:02]  Are they friends?
[00:11:02]  I mean, like, you've been out here for a long time.
[00:11:05]  Are they actually like capable of?
[00:11:07]  I don't know.
[00:11:07]  Sarah Gilbert is an angry bitch.
[00:11:10]  I hate her.
[00:11:12]  I did her show the blab or the talk or the yak or whatever else they call it, you know, and I don't know.
[00:11:17]  She gave me some sort of 10-minute dissertation on what lesbians were or something.
[00:11:22]  And I was like, oh, shut up, you shrew.
[00:11:24]  Okay.
[00:11:25]  Speaking of sex lives, let's talk a little Stormy Daniels because I don't know whether Mr. Burchin watches the news, but I think you'd have some strong opinions on the woman who took the stand yesterday in the Trump trial.
[00:11:37]  Oh, man.
[00:11:38]  Adam, she got up there.
[00:11:39]  And I'm not going to tell you about her walk into the courtroom and her taking of the stand.
[00:11:44]  I'm going to let our mutual friend Lawrence O'Donnell.
[00:11:48]  Not true.
[00:11:49]  Tell us both about his impressions of her walking into that courtroom.
[00:11:52]  Watch this.

=== Holding Court Without Looking (12:40) ===

[00:11:54]  The excitement and anticipation in the room hit a new high at 10.32 a.m.
[00:12:04]  She entered wearing all black as if on her way to a funeral.
[00:12:08]  Oh my God.
[00:12:08]  The loose fitting, plain black clothing draping from her shoulders to her toes suggested the modesty of a nun.
[00:12:17]  The makeup was minimal, the way she and the other moms in her neighborhood might look when shopping at the local grocery store.
[00:12:25]  The long blonde hair held up with a clip at the back of her head, the way it might be in a utilitarian way while she was doing dishes or checking one of the horseshoes on her horse.
[00:12:38]  She was alone in the room with him that first time.
[00:12:42]  This time, there were over 100 people in the room all watching her, except him.
[00:12:50]  Oh my God, the drama that he's.
[00:12:53]  I don't, you know what I want to say to all these adults who are in the news industry?
[00:13:00]  What did you go to journalism school for?
[00:13:03]  This is a Mexican soap opera.
[00:13:06]  You're not a journalist, you idiot.
[00:13:09]  Why did you do that?
[00:13:10]  What compelled you?
[00:13:11]  You know what I mean?
[00:13:12]  Yeah, was it to bust the lid off of stories like this?
[00:13:15]  Is it to just use nothing but hyperbole to essentially try to turn a zero burger into a double king cheese?
[00:13:24]  You know, like, what are you doing?
[00:13:25]  Like, where's your dignity?
[00:13:27]  I feel this way about almost everybody in media these days.
[00:13:31]  Why are you here?
[00:13:32]  What are you doing?
[00:13:33]  What compelled you to get into this business?
[00:13:36]  What motivated you to get into business?
[00:13:38]  What would your dad say who paid for you to go to college and then journalism school to see this sad sack on display?
[00:13:46]  No, it's so true.
[00:13:47]  But they can't help themselves.
[00:13:49]  This is their Super Bowl, their Oscars, all of it wrapped into the World Series, wrapped into one.
[00:13:55]  And this, plus when Michael Cohen takes a stand, this is the apex of their event.
[00:14:00]  They wanted to hear her talk about Trump and how brief the sexual interlude was because they want to see him humiliated.
[00:14:11]  Yeah, of course.
[00:14:12]  Of course it's it.
[00:14:13]  Michael Cohen is a spastic nut job who I interviewed on my podcast once.
[00:14:23]  And in the almost 4,000 podcast episodes I've done, it was the only time I said to a guest, I am going to hang up if you do not reel it in.
[00:14:35]  Like if you cannot maintain yourself, I'm going to hang up.
[00:14:39]  And I have a long fuse for nutty people.
[00:14:46]  I think the record will reflect.
[00:14:47]  The record will reflect.
[00:14:48]  I started off with my family, went into my friends, went into, you know, teaching boxing, working on a construction site, doing Loveline.
[00:14:56]  I've known a lot of nut jobs and have given a lot of leeway.
[00:15:00]  Michael Cohen was literally the only person I've ever said, if you don't reel it in, because he was so agitated and kind of unprofessional and stupid.
[00:15:10]  I said, I am going to hang up on you.
[00:15:12]  Wow.
[00:15:13]  It was a January 6th thing where I said, I think it was a riot, but I don't think it was an insurrection.
[00:15:21]  And he started going insane.
[00:15:22]  Yeah, he needs it to be an insurrection.
[00:15:24]  He needed it to be an insurrection.
[00:15:25]  Yeah.
[00:15:26]  Right.
[00:15:26]  And the thing about Stormy, we're going to get to this in more detail with a full legal panel in the show we're going to release later today.
[00:15:33]  But I have to say, the thing about Stormy is what shocked me the most, she completely revised her account of the interlude.
[00:15:41]  It went from this casual description back in, you know, when she first came out with this publicly of, well, you know, he was interesting and he was nice.
[00:15:50]  And, you know, I was, it was fine.
[00:15:52]  You know, he was a nice guy to I blacked out this.
[00:15:58]  Her new testimony is the blood left my fingers and toes.
[00:16:03]  I, I, the room was spinning and he was stopping me from getting out because he was sitting on the bed between me exiting the bathroom and the door, but in a non-threatening manner.
[00:16:13]  Oh, and by the way, I didn't say no, but you know, I didn't know how I got here.
[00:16:17]  What choices had I made?
[00:16:19]  It's a bullshit me to revisionism, and everyone's buying it.
[00:16:23]  Go through this with the Supreme Court justice nomination and Blasey Ford or whatever that nut jobs name was.
[00:16:30]  Didn't we just go through this?
[00:16:33]  I was raped in high school at a party at a house I don't recall with people I've never met.
[00:16:39]  Oh my God, you're a hero.
[00:16:41]  Are you okay?
[00:16:42]  Doctor.
[00:16:44]  By the way, can we knock this doctor crap off?
[00:16:47]  Oh, you've got to be a physician.
[00:16:48]  Oh, come on.
[00:16:49]  Sorry, Jill Biden.
[00:16:51]  Here's the definition.
[00:16:52]  Where's my camera?
[00:16:54]  Is that it?
[00:16:54]  Yeah, that's that.
[00:16:55]  Yeah, that's your camera right there.
[00:16:57]  All right.
[00:16:57]  I'm talking to my camera.
[00:16:59]  Here's the deal with doctor.
[00:17:02]  No more doctors for people who aren't actual physicians.
[00:17:08]  Now, Dr. Drew is a good friend of mine.
[00:17:10]  It bothers him that everyone is a doctor now.
[00:17:13]  Because he's an actual Dr. D.
[00:17:14]  So you want to know what the definition is?
[00:17:17]  If you're on an airplane and somebody has a heart attack and the stewardess gets on the blower and says, is there a doctor on this flight?
[00:17:26]  Jill Biden's going to keep her ass planted in her seat, right?
[00:17:29]  Or what's she going to do?
[00:17:30]  Read them a children's book?
[00:17:32]  I don't know what she does, but the point is, she's useless.
[00:17:36]  That's the whole point.
[00:17:37]  So if somebody says, is there a doctor on a flight and you stand up, you're a doctor.
[00:17:42]  Other than that, I do not want you called doctor.
[00:17:44]  Preach.
[00:17:45]  It's got to be on a flight.
[00:17:46]  You've got to be able to save someone on a flight.
[00:17:48]  You're right, my sweet spot here, because this, the need, the insistence by the White House to call her Dr. Jill Biden every appearance.
[00:17:55]  I know, but it's all just part and parcel of the whole sort of ruse, right?
[00:17:58]  It tells you what a small person she is.
[00:18:00]  I completely agree.
[00:18:02]  Who would need that?
[00:18:03]  I mean, I'm a jurist doctor.
[00:18:05]  You should, you should be calling me doctor right now.
[00:18:07]  Oh, I should.
[00:18:07]  Yeah, I should have been Dr. Wendy Burcham if you really wanted to pay me the respect I deserve.
[00:18:12]  You're right.
[00:18:12]  We'll work that in in post.
[00:18:14]  Now, listen, back to Burcham.
[00:18:17]  So you talked last night a bit about who inspired these characters.
[00:18:20]  I thought that was really interesting.
[00:18:21]  These are actually the guy who was the super woke DEI instructor.
[00:18:27]  He's based on, like, I don't know if he's based on everybody, but everybody in the show is based on a real principal you dealt with or a gym coach you had.
[00:18:35]  So how did you come up with, I'll stock with a start with Carponzi?
[00:18:38]  Because that's a super woke guy who I freaking love.
[00:18:41]  That he steals the show.
[00:18:43]  I agree.
[00:18:44]  Carponzi, the DEI officer, and I think we have an acronym for him that wants to be Jedi, but I can't.
[00:18:54]  And I have to work.
[00:18:55]  Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
[00:18:58]  There you go.
[00:18:59]  See, you know more about the script than I do.
[00:19:01]  I paid attention.
[00:19:04]  His character is just really a compilation of all the idiots who've been trying to force this stuff down our throat for the last 10 years.
[00:19:13]  So his character sort of represents society at large.
[00:19:17]  You know, his character represents everybody who was wrong about COVID, everyone who was wrong about anything that comes down the pike January 6th or whatever, whatever the cause du jour, Hunter Biden laptop, race, gender.
[00:19:34]  Actually, hold on.
[00:19:34]  Everything.
[00:19:35]  Hold that thought because we actually have a clip of him.
[00:19:36]  Let's watch it.
[00:19:37]  Okay.
[00:19:39]  My name is Mr. Carponzi.
[00:19:41]  My pronouns are he, him, and Z. I'm a heteronormative cisgendered white male.
[00:19:48]  For which I apologize.
[00:19:50]  What?
[00:19:53]  So Carponzi represents society, or at least the society that Bircham would like to push back against.
[00:20:00]  Yeah, and you and I. Bircham is based on all the shop teachers I had in junior high, who were these tough, scary, big forearm guys who hated kids and were mean as hell, but liked the idea of getting paid to be indoors around equipment and work in a wood shop.
[00:20:23]  But the problem is, is they sort of thought their shop was like their own shop and the kids were kind of a nuisance who were coming in and wanting to use their bandsaw and their table saw and their lathe.
[00:20:35]  And that's the way it felt to me in junior high.
[00:20:38]  And I also learned that shop teachers don't have to have teaching credentials.
[00:20:44]  They need to have like 10 years in the trades.
[00:20:47]  That makes sense.
[00:20:48]  And then they can teach.
[00:20:49]  So these are guys who didn't go to college, never wanted to work with kids, didn't want to mold society or help shape youth.
[00:20:58]  They're just carpenters and metal working guys who are out of a job, essentially, and end up falling into shop teacher.
[00:21:07]  So they had no bedside etiquette and they didn't like kids.
[00:21:12]  None of the shop teachers at Walter Reed Junior High in North Hollywood when I went there seemed to like the kids.
[00:21:19]  So I always had it in my head that it was a funny archetype that here were these guys going to school every day to work with kids, but they hated kids.
[00:21:30]  They can't stand them.
[00:21:31]  I will say the timing for this is perfect.
[00:21:34]  And by the way, again, if you're just listening now, you can sign up for it over at Daily Wire Plus and use the code Megan25 and you get a discount, big discount on membership there.
[00:21:42]  You can watch Mr. Burcham and you can watch the first, I think, and second episode for free this weekend.
[00:21:47]  But we need a guy like Bertam more than ever.
[00:21:50]  We could use more Mr. Burcham's in our K through 12 and certainly college education right now because we, of course, are producing a bunch of like soft.
[00:22:01]  I wanted to run this clip for you.
[00:22:02]  It's not really on our agenda to talk about the protests on campus today, but I do want to show you this.
[00:22:08]  Where was she from, you guys?
[00:22:09]  She's Columbia, right?
[00:22:10]  The one that we circulated this morning.
[00:22:12]  I'm going to... Princeton.
[00:22:14]  Oh, Princeton, right?
[00:22:14]  Because they're having the hunger strike there.
[00:22:16]  Oh, a hunger.
[00:22:17]  I love a hunger strike.
[00:22:19]  You and I might call it a night of sleep.
[00:22:20]  They call it a hunger strike.
[00:22:22]  Yeah.
[00:22:23]  And apparently it's not going very well.
[00:22:24]  Take a listen.
[00:22:28]  This is absolutely unfair.
[00:22:33]  My peers and I, we are starving.
[00:22:36]  We are physically exhausted.
[00:22:38]  I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see.
[00:22:41]  We are both cold and hot at the same time.
[00:22:45]  We are all immunocompromised.
[00:22:47]  Wow.
[00:22:48]  Based on the university's meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team, they would love to continue physically weakening us because they can't stand to say no to unjust murder.
[00:22:59]  Okay, you get it.
[00:23:01]  I do appreciate the daisy chaining of the bullhorn.
[00:23:05]  Yeah, I like that.
[00:23:06]  They made it so she could still be on cam.
[00:23:08]  Some ingenuity, the way they daisy chained the bullhorns.
[00:23:11]  Why did she have to read the statement about how we are both hot and cold at the same time?
[00:23:16]  I am shaking right now.
[00:23:18]  I don't know because I see it all the time.
[00:23:21]  Like everyone puts everything in their, all young people put everything in their phone now, and they'll do a toast at a wedding and there'll be some 26-year-old chick going, I was a maid of honor, and I just want to thank Tim and Sylvia.
[00:23:38]  May they go on forever.
[00:23:40]  It's like, I should just at some point commit things to memory.
[00:23:43]  Or just extemporaneously speak, it's a good skill to develop.
[00:23:47]  Am I looking at my phone?
[00:23:48]  Right.
[00:23:49]  We're 23 minutes into this.
[00:23:51]  Pow!
[00:23:52]  Zing!
[00:23:53]  Snap!
[00:23:54]  You did your whole bit on doctor without looking at a thing.
[00:23:57]  Yeah, I know.
[00:23:57]  But hold on, roll prompter.
[00:24:00]  Or here, so back to Burcham, because I'm just showing that Burcham has relationships.
[00:24:04]  And I tell you this: a sad state of affairs.
[00:24:07]  What?
[00:24:07]  Speaking of we need Burchams more than ever in these schools.
[00:24:11]  I'm driving my 17-year-old daughter and her 17-year-old friend over to the premiere last night.
[00:24:18]  And they're both going to graduate high school seniors.
[00:24:23]  And I said, I don't, do you know anything about Burcham or what, you know, kids?
[00:24:29]  They don't know anything about it.
[00:24:30]  The character you developed 30 years ago.
[00:24:31]  They don't know anything about Burch.
[00:24:33]  They don't know anything about anything about me.

=== Learning Danger in Auto Shop (03:29) ===

[00:24:35]  I mean, professionally.
[00:24:36]  You know, he can get the, they pay him, you know, we get a swimming pool.
[00:24:40]  You know, that's kind of how they work it out.
[00:24:42]  But I said, well, let me tell you about Burcham, like how it works, just so when you go watch the premiere, you'll have some context of where this guy comes from.
[00:24:51]  I said, you know, you guys have shop class, right?
[00:24:55]  I said, huh?
[00:24:56]  I said, you know, shop, you know, wood shop, metal shop, auto shop.
[00:25:00]  They're like, no.
[00:25:02]  And I'm like, but shop, you know what shop is, right?
[00:25:05]  No.
[00:25:06]  I said, okay, wait a minute.
[00:25:08]  You didn't take shop class, but they had, they got metal shop, they got wood shop, they got auto.
[00:25:13]  You know, someone who takes auto shop, right?
[00:25:15]  No.
[00:25:15]  Nope.
[00:25:16]  I said, well, what do you mean?
[00:25:18]  Like your whole, both your high schools, they go to two different high schools.
[00:25:22]  There's nothing, no auto shop?
[00:25:24]  Nope.
[00:25:25]  Never heard of it.
[00:25:26]  I said, well, what?
[00:25:28]  Well, we have electives.
[00:25:29]  You know, we could take cooking or something like that or whatever.
[00:25:35]  No shop.
[00:25:36]  It is not offered.
[00:25:37]  That's too bad anymore.
[00:25:39]  I feel the same way.
[00:25:40]  It is offered in our school.
[00:25:41]  I have to say, like all three of our kids have come home with some.
[00:25:44]  My son made a chair.
[00:25:45]  I think you would have been proud of it.
[00:25:46]  Little table, actually, a little table like a legit, you can fold it up, whatever.
[00:25:50]  Back in my day, too, I took it.
[00:25:51]  I mean, a little mirror.
[00:25:53]  Didn't lose it.
[00:25:54]  It's a bigger problem than people understand, the lack of sort of shop and working with tools and understanding.
[00:26:03]  When you work with tools, each one represents a potential danger.
[00:26:10]  So routers are different than circular saws, and circular saws are different than drills, and drills are different than bayonet saws.
[00:26:20]  And when you handle a lot of tools, even just jacking a car up and getting underneath the car, it's 5,000 pounds.
[00:26:29]  It will kill you if you don't do it properly.
[00:26:32]  Some have used it against others.
[00:26:34]  Yes.
[00:26:35]  But you must jack up the car because you must get under it and fix the car.
[00:26:40]  So you don't have an alternative, but you have to do it correctly.
[00:26:44]  But also, time is of the essence.
[00:26:47]  So each tool sort of represents: should you wear goggles?
[00:26:50]  Do I need ear protection?
[00:26:52]  Does this thing torque this way or kick back that way?
[00:26:55]  I mean, tools are super specific.
[00:26:57]  Like if you take a table saw, if you take a piece of wood and you put it between two saw horses and you think you're going to cut it down the middle, it'll bind and pinch as it goes down and kick back.
[00:27:13]  If you wanted to cut it, you'd let the end hang over, but you wouldn't put it in between.
[00:27:19]  It'll go down and immediately bind and kick back.
[00:27:22]  The point is, is when you learn these things, then you have a relationship with danger.
[00:27:27]  It's not, I'll never do it.
[00:27:29]  It's here's how it works.
[00:27:31]  And then that will, that will carry over into things like COVID.
[00:27:35]  But we didn't have a relationship.
[00:27:37]  People wearing masks alone in a car because they don't have the relationship with risk.
[00:27:44]  Yeah.
[00:27:44]  When Mike Rowe came on, he made a similar point.
[00:27:47]  He was talking about how now we're at the point where if you're at a don't walk sign and you look left and you look right and there are no cars for miles, half the populace will sit there and stand.
[00:28:00]  They will wait for the walk sign.
[00:28:03]  I'll do Mike Row one better.

=== Alienated Online at Twenty-Two (15:19) ===

[00:28:04]  I do that with red.
[00:28:06]  lights and I do that with red tarnaras and I do it with everything.
[00:28:09]  If I'm there and there's no one around, I'm gone.
[00:28:13]  I see your point.
[00:28:13]  If you're not a moron and you actually have decent eyes, it's fine.
[00:28:17]  Why am I sitting here?
[00:28:18]  There is no one here.
[00:28:19]  I can see just as well, better than the camera above me can see.
[00:28:23]  I'm safe.
[00:28:24]  I'll 1000% do it all day.
[00:28:26]  Anyway, this is the one of the many efforts by Adam Corolla to fight back against this nonsense and try to toughen people up.
[00:28:32]  Mr. Bertram, thank you for including me in it.
[00:28:36]  Listen, it's been a thrill.
[00:28:38]  I mean, you know, I'm a fan and it's always nice to work with people that you like working with.
[00:28:43]  Yeah.
[00:28:44]  Well, here's to season two.
[00:28:45]  Yeah, I agree.
[00:28:46]  You guys, don't forget to check it out.
[00:28:48]  We're not done because Brett Cooper, she's a star over at the Daily Wire.
[00:28:52]  She's 22 years old.
[00:28:54]  I think she's got, I don't know, 7 million YouTube followers.
[00:28:58]  And you'll see why, because she's a very talented, dynamic, funny young woman.
[00:29:03]  She's up next.
[00:29:04]  Don't go away.
[00:29:06]  Joining me now, Brett Cooper.
[00:29:08]  She is the host of the comments section with Brett Cooper for The Daily Wire.
[00:29:13]  She also plays my daughter in the new animated series, Mr. Bertram.
[00:29:17]  Brett, thank you so much for being here.
[00:29:19]  Thank you for having me.
[00:29:20]  Hi, honey.
[00:29:20]  Hi.
[00:29:21]  It's so funny.
[00:29:22]  You actually could be my daughter.
[00:29:23]  It's like when you know you're old, when you start to see other grown, accomplished humans and you realize you could be their parent.
[00:29:29]  It's kind of that moment.
[00:29:30]  I'm honored.
[00:29:30]  I'm honored.
[00:29:31]  So Adam and I are your mom and dad.
[00:29:33]  Exactly.
[00:29:33]  It's perfect.
[00:29:34]  And just like, talk to me a little bit about how you got into this, because as I mentioned in the preview to your appearance, you've taken off at the Daily Wire.
[00:29:44]  You've been so successful online.
[00:29:46]  You really do have an effervescent personality.
[00:29:48]  You're very talented.
[00:29:49]  So how did you get like this?
[00:29:51]  I was a child actor for 10 years, actually out here in Los Angeles.
[00:29:54]  This is my first time being back since I moved four years ago.
[00:29:58]  So it's very nostalgic.
[00:29:59]  So much has changed, but a lot has not changed at all.
[00:30:02]  I was back in Burbank last night after the premiere.
[00:30:04]  I went to my favorite donut shop my mom and I used to go to.
[00:30:06]  Anyway, so grew up here in front of the camera.
[00:30:09]  I love storytelling more than anything.
[00:30:11]  I love communicating with an audience via this medium, you know, behind the camera.
[00:30:16]  And so I had been working on that for literally 10 years.
[00:30:19]  And then during COVID, took a step back.
[00:30:22]  Obviously, everything in the industry changed.
[00:30:24]  I wasn't working.
[00:30:25]  I was at UCLA doing school online, lost a lot of my friends due to my political beliefs and my values and kind of found a home making social media videos about current events and culture.
[00:30:37]  And then Daily Wire literally slid into my DMs and said, what do you want to start a show with us?
[00:30:41]  Yeah.
[00:30:41]  Okay.
[00:30:41]  I knew that's how it happened in that order.
[00:30:43]  That makes sense.
[00:30:43]  Yeah.
[00:30:44]  I want to talk about that because it's very rare to find a 22-year-old who's, you know, living in LA, who's more on the right side of things doing open social commentary on it.
[00:30:52]  But first, let's show the audience a little bit of this is the two of us in a clip from Mr. Bertram.
[00:30:58]  Check it out.
[00:31:00]  Mom, there's clear mahogany under here, except some idiot painted over it with this horrible white paint.
[00:31:05]  Honey, I'm that idiot.
[00:31:07]  White makes rooms look bigger.
[00:31:08]  White sells.
[00:31:09]  White helps mommy pay for family vacations and this $800 pantsuit will never tell your father about.
[00:31:14]  But it's a sin.
[00:31:15]  It's a crime against wood.
[00:31:17]  You're a wood killer.
[00:31:18]  A wood killer.
[00:31:19]  You are a wood killer.
[00:31:21]  Technically, I'd be a wood cover, cover, cover.
[00:31:24]  Okay, I see why you went with killer.
[00:31:26]  Trust me, honey, this is standard in the biz.
[00:31:28]  That's why we call it egg cell white.
[00:31:31]  Eggshell is the texture, not the color.
[00:31:34]  And how would you like it if somebody covered you in white paint?
[00:31:36]  If it was Jason Momoa, I'd be fine.
[00:31:39]  This is so fun.
[00:31:40]  This is the premise of the show that you are Bertram's daughter and my daughter too, but like you are more his daughter in terms of your love for woodworking and shop things.
[00:31:48]  And then there's a son who's kind of a loaf, played by Kyle Dunnegan, who's here next, who doesn't quite have your ambition in the woodworking field.
[00:31:56]  Not at all.
[00:31:57]  No.
[00:31:57]  Did you learn anything about tools?
[00:31:59]  No, I have not.
[00:31:59]  Well, I learned a lot of the names, but I have never used any of them.
[00:32:04]  So it was a lot of very, very fake knowledge from pretending that I know a lot about it.
[00:32:08]  And I still want to go do some woodworking with Adam.
[00:32:10]  I told him I was like, I need to go to the wood shop.
[00:32:12]  I need to learn this hands-on.
[00:32:14]  If we do another season, like I need to fully be prepped.
[00:32:16]  Oh, wow.
[00:32:16]  Method.
[00:32:17]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:32:18]  Method acting.
[00:32:18]  That's what I'm going to do.
[00:32:19]  But no, Jeannie is 100% a mini Bertram.
[00:32:21]  Everything that he does, she wants to follow.
[00:32:23]  She's super outspoken.
[00:32:25]  She's very passionate.
[00:32:26]  Truly just wants to be anything that her father is.
[00:32:29]  She's very cute.
[00:32:30]  And I love the scenes that we have together.
[00:32:31]  Although we're never together in the same room when we shoot this.
[00:32:33]  I know, it's so weird.
[00:32:34]  I did it in my studio in Connecticut.
[00:32:37]  The guys came to me and they kind of tell you what to say.
[00:32:40]  And the people last night would say like, how are you enjoying like your acting debut?
[00:32:43]  I'm like, it's not acting.
[00:32:44]  What I did was not acting.
[00:32:45]  What you did is acting because you know what you're doing.
[00:32:47]  I just repeated what Nate said.
[00:32:49]  But we never see each other.
[00:32:50]  And so it was kind of fun to see it all laid in.
[00:32:52]  It's wild.
[00:32:53]  But as you're, you're an actual actress.
[00:32:54]  It must have been weird for you not to.
[00:32:56]  It is.
[00:32:56]  Voiceover is very, very different because when you are acting on film, you create such a bond with your co-stars.
[00:33:02]  And you like I was in Hungary filming the Pendragon Cycle for Daily Wire as well.
[00:33:06]  And so we had this cast where we lived abroad together for five and a half months.
[00:33:11]  And so you're working together on screen.
[00:33:12]  You're working together off screen.
[00:33:14]  You are, you know, going over the night before to work on a scene that you're shooting the next morning.
[00:33:17]  Like it is very, very integrated and you create this bond.
[00:33:20]  With voiceover, so much of that is segmented.
[00:33:23]  And so you just have to rely on your own chops and what you know the script to be.
[00:33:28]  And it's much harder.
[00:33:29]  And so I really, really admire voiceover actors.
[00:33:31]  I had not done voiceover since I was about 10 years old or so.
[00:33:34]  So it, you know, brought me back in a lot of ways, but I would say it is much more challenging than forms of acting.
[00:33:40]  Exactly.
[00:33:40]  I mean, it would be fun to be together, but it's weird because the whole series, season one, is shot and done and in the bank.
[00:33:45]  And you and I are just meeting now.
[00:33:46]  Yep.
[00:33:46]  Even though we've had several, several scenes together.
[00:33:48]  Yeah.
[00:33:48]  Not to mention me and Adam.
[00:33:50]  Okay.
[00:33:50]  So back to you and sort of your journey.
[00:33:54]  How did you wind up more conservative to the point where you would say it out loud in LA?
[00:34:00]  My mother.
[00:34:01]  My mother is incredible.
[00:34:02]  I was not raised in a political home by any means.
[00:34:05]  We never discussed politics.
[00:34:06]  We never discussed current events.
[00:34:08]  I'm not really interested in hard politics or DC.
[00:34:12]  That was never part of my upbringing.
[00:34:14]  She is very values-based.
[00:34:16]  And so we had a lot of conversations about what our family values, you know, personal responsibility, independence was huge.
[00:34:22]  And those were the discussions that we had at our dinner tables.
[00:34:25]  And when things would come up in my life, whether it was friends or in scripts that I was reading, I honestly think that that is where the majority of my value education came from is because from age eight years old, I was being given scripts for auditions and projects that I was working on.
[00:34:40]  And we would always discuss what is the meaning of the script?
[00:34:43]  What is the writer trying to convey to audiences?
[00:34:46]  Do you agree with this?
[00:34:47]  What do you think the character is trying to say?
[00:34:48]  And those are things that you need to know as an actor.
[00:34:50]  But my mom wanted to make sure that I never just fully lost myself in these characters.
[00:34:54]  And so she was like, how is that different than what we believe, than what you believe?
[00:34:58]  What is she, what is this character trying to say to the world?
[00:35:02]  And by articulating that and identifying it, I was able to go, oh, that does not make sense.
[00:35:06]  That's not actually something that I want to put out into the world.
[00:35:09]  And I think that was one of the reasons why I really took a step back from acting while I was in college because I felt so conflicted because I would read these scripts and say, I don't want that out in the world.
[00:35:17]  Like I feel bad playing this character.
[00:35:20]  I would turn down scripts all the time that had nudity, you know, for characters that are like 16 years old.
[00:35:25]  You're not going to the Met Gala any day.
[00:35:26]  No, I am not.
[00:35:28]  But I thought very consciously about all that.
[00:35:31]  So that was constant conversations in my home.
[00:35:34]  And when COVID started happening, I was faced with a lot of anger and hatred from friends in college that I did not expect.
[00:35:42]  These were friends that were my, you know, closest friends was about to live with in the next year.
[00:35:47]  I was in a sorority and all of that kind of blew up in my face.
[00:35:50]  And I realized, oh my gosh, I disagree with all of you.
[00:35:52]  And I knew that and I was okay with it.
[00:35:54]  And we were close friends and I spent hours upon hours was going to live with you.
[00:35:57]  And suddenly you hate me and are basically threatening me and are throwing, you know, communist manifestos at my head at parties, calling me racist for simple.
[00:36:06]  I'm extremely, were they really getting to?
[00:36:08]  Yes.
[00:36:08]  I walked into a party at UCLA at one point.
[00:36:10]  And simply because I was from Tennessee and because we had had a conversation where we were talking about the primaries in January of 2020 and I said, no, I'm not going to vote in the primaries for Biden.
[00:36:19]  And then they go, oh, you know, are you going to vote for Bernie?
[00:36:22]  I was like, no, I'm actually not going to do either of those.
[00:36:24]  Secret option number two for you.
[00:36:27]  And that next week, I walked into a party and one of them stood up on a table and said, there's our racist friend, Brett, from Tennessee.
[00:36:33]  No.
[00:36:33]  Yeah.
[00:36:34]  And I was just, and so everything.
[00:36:35]  And then COVID happened.
[00:36:36]  And COVID, for me, in terms of my education and my social circles and everything else in my life, it was a blessing in disguise.
[00:36:43]  Obviously, the way it turned out for the world was awful, but I think that it gave me a lot of distance.
[00:36:48]  It forced me to reflect a lot about the people that I was surrounding myself with, the industry that I was in.
[00:36:52]  It pulled me out of an education, an educational environment that I think was very difficult for me to survive in.
[00:36:59]  You know how the left always uses the word toxic.
[00:37:01]  It's toxic.
[00:37:01]  You know, they make it toxic for everybody.
[00:37:03]  They do.
[00:37:04]  And so, you know, I moved home.
[00:37:06]  I was doing all of my classes online.
[00:37:08]  I made the most of it.
[00:37:09]  I did, you know, a business program.
[00:37:11]  I studied for the LSAT.
[00:37:12]  I started making these videos for Prague or You and Young Americans for Liberty.
[00:37:15]  Like I really, really leaned in.
[00:37:16]  It's like, if I was going to put myself out there because I knew what it felt like to be so alienated to not see my values represented anywhere in my circles, in my industry, online, on social media, I was like, I for your age group.
[00:37:28]  For your age group.
[00:37:29]  That's the thing that's special about you.
[00:37:30]  It's like if 22-year-olds want to get conservative commentary, they can get it anywhere.
[00:37:34]  But not necessarily from a really smart 22-year-old young woman.
[00:37:39]  Yeah, I did not see the kind of content that I'm creating now.
[00:37:42]  And that is why I was so passionate about it.
[00:37:44]  I think that's also why it took off so quickly is because I was filling a niche that I personally cared so much about that I knew I wanted to exist in the world because, coming up as somebody that was more right-wing, that had traditional values, valued common sense, like I would listen to, you know, I would listen to Dennis Breaker, I would listen to Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles and Candace, and I would listen to Larry Elder.
[00:38:05]  My mom's obsessed with Larry Elder.
[00:38:07]  He is yeah, and so we would listen to him on car rides and rush lumba, but nobody was my age.
[00:38:11]  And then I would go on to YouTube and social media and I would watch all these people that I love and follow and how I want style inspiration from you and I love this actor.
[00:38:18]  But then I would listen to, you know, the Vanity Fair roundtables like, oh, I disagree with literally everything you're saying, even though you're my age, so I wanted to fill that gap.
[00:38:25]  So what's I mean when you look around your age group?
[00:38:28]  Um, what's happening with young women?
[00:38:30]  Because what I mean, my impression from you know, way over on the other side is everyone's naked, everyone's getting enormous boobs and enormous butts.
[00:38:38]  They're having all this fat sucked out of their waist to try to make it look like some sort of a weird you know character, anime character.
[00:38:44]  Did you see Kim Kardashing at the Mat Gala?
[00:38:46]  There's something seriously wrong with that.
[00:38:47]  It's crazy.
[00:38:47]  I like I don't understand what.
[00:38:49]  I really think she might have had ribs removed.
[00:38:51]  Yes, I don't get it.
[00:38:52]  I don't like it and I don't like what message it projects.
[00:38:54]  I don't like the beauty message that entire family projects.
[00:38:57]  Yes um, but you wound up okay because you had good parents.
[00:39:00]  I know my kids are going to wind up okay.
[00:39:02]  They have good parents, so I don't want to blame it all on them.
[00:39:05]  But when you look around your generation, like what do you see women, young women, doing and wanting?
[00:39:11]  I think young women are just lying to themselves.
[00:39:12]  I think we've been lied to by society.
[00:39:15]  We've been lied to by the Kardashian type figures that have given us beauty standards that are completely unrealistic, that have told us that the ideal is to be plastic, that you need to change everything about yourself to be desirable, not just to men, but to the world, whether that is Botox or lip fillers.
[00:39:30]  Have you seen that young women my age are now getting Botox because it's preventative?
[00:39:34]  22 year olds?
[00:39:34]  22 year olds, 21 year olds, 18 year old.
[00:39:36]  It is a huge, huge thing.
[00:39:37]  It's like, yeah, it's preventative.
[00:39:38]  You won't have wrinkles later on in life.
[00:39:39]  It's like, you are, this is the most ridiculous, ridiculous thing.
[00:39:42]  Obviously, if you want to do it later in life, you know, that's your prerogative.
[00:39:44]  But at 21 years old, you're like, no, it's not.
[00:39:47]  But they have been told that that is their ideal.
[00:39:50]  And I think a lot of the pressure then comes from women because there's other women start to do it.
[00:39:55]  Then younger women on social media seem to think that that is what they need to aspire to.
[00:39:58]  Can I tell you, I just said quickly, I want you to finish, but this is why, you remember when Dolly Parton performed at, was it the Super Bowl and she came out and she, it wasn't the Super Bowl, it was like maybe Country Music Awards.
[00:40:07]  Anyway, she had a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit on.
[00:40:09]  And I think she's 77 years old or maybe even older.
[00:40:12]  And I found it both inspirational and depressing.
[00:40:15]  Yes.
[00:40:15]  You know what I mean?
[00:40:16]  Like it's great.
[00:40:17]  I love Dolly.
[00:40:18]  I really loves Dolly.
[00:40:19]  She looked so great.
[00:40:20]  But then I also kind of missed the days where women were just allowed to age and we didn't have to try to look 22 when we were 82.
[00:40:26]  And that would be fine.
[00:40:27]  That's that beauty standard did change and you were judged accordingly.
[00:40:30]  You didn't have to be in a Dallas cowboy cheerleader out there.
[00:40:33]  Exactly.
[00:40:34]  Yeah.
[00:40:34]  No, but I think that a lot of that has pushed women in a wrong and dangerous direction.
[00:40:40]  I also think that society has been telling them for years that hookup culture is good and you don't need to be married.
[00:40:45]  I mean, I think of like the 2016 Hillary Clinton era feminism and this Cheryl Sandberg lean in and girl bossing like that took off in the mid 2010s and pushed women in this direction.
[00:40:55]  And now 10 years later, they're going, I'm not, I'm not happy.
[00:40:58]  I'm single.
[00:40:58]  I'm in my 30s.
[00:41:00]  I have distanced myself from my family.
[00:41:02]  I have given myself over to this corporate career, which is ironic because they sit online and say that they hate the man, they hate the patriarchy, they hate capitalism.
[00:41:09]  And yet the one thing that they dedicate their life to is sitting in a cubicle and being a girl boss for Meta or Google or whatever you want to say.
[00:41:16]  And so I think that women, number one, have been lied to, but then they've made the choice to lie to themselves and say, no, I'm happy.
[00:41:22]  I'm happy being single.
[00:41:24]  I'm happy hooking up every night and having no commitments.
[00:41:26]  And I think that they're waking up because obviously that is not what we are, you know, wired to do.
[00:41:32]  And, you know, I see it every day.
[00:41:34]  I see, you know, my female audience grow.
[00:41:37]  The most important thing to me is when I meet women, you know, out just when I'm walking around in the world and they come up to me and they say that they watch the show, it's just the greatest feeling because again, I'm creating a lot of people.
[00:41:45]  It's a great feeling for me to hear that too because we need young women hearing alternative voices like that.
[00:41:49]  There's so many of them that come up to me and it's amazing.
[00:41:52]  The other side is fed to them on a silver platter.
[00:41:54]  They're on every magazine cover.
[00:41:55]  There are stars in all the shows.
[00:41:56]  They're featured in everywhere and everything on left-wing media.
[00:42:00]  And, you know, the right wing, it's like you have to watch it subversively if you are 17 or 18.
[00:42:05]  But more and more of them are.
[00:42:06]  They're starting to do it as a backlash to this over, not, I don't know, it's not an overcorrection.
[00:42:11]  It's just the over promotion of like Women's History Month and Black History Month and Gay History Month and Pride Month, all of it.
[00:42:18]  I think subversively they're starting to look for alternative sources of information, even young people.
[00:42:23]  Yes.
[00:42:24]  So on the subject of men, though, you're, so you're married.
[00:42:26]  You got married young.
[00:42:27]  Yes, a month ago.
[00:42:28]  Oh, best wishes.
[00:42:29]  Thank you.
[00:42:30]  Yes.
[00:42:31]  So how are like kids your age dating?
[00:42:34]  How do you find?
[00:42:35]  Because I'm talking with Adam about Mr. Carponzi in Bircham, who's got the man bun and he wears a sign that reads the future is female.
[00:42:45]  Yes.
[00:42:46]  And he's a completely emasculated version of a man.
[00:42:50]  I just don't think any woman really would want to sleep with a man like that.
[00:42:54]  I can't understand a woman who would want to sleep with a man.
[00:42:56]  So, but it seems like that's the trend now.
[00:42:58]  More and more young men are becoming more Carponzi-esque than they are Bircham-esque.
[00:43:02]  I call them the wet cigarette men, the Timothy Chalamays.
[00:43:07]  Yeah, I don't know why, but it's just like that and machine gun Kelly, that style, that genre of man on my show.
[00:43:14]  I always say, you're a, you're a wet cigarette man.
[00:43:15]  You're limp and you're kind of grunge and kind of nasty.
[00:43:18]  And I don't know if you shower and you're very, very skinny.
[00:43:23]  That's what I always say.

=== Dating Landscape as Hellscape (03:17) ===

[00:43:24]  But no, the 2024 dating landscape is a hellscape for sure.
[00:43:28]  I feel so awful because I read my comments and I have so many people, both men and women, saying, where do I find like-minded people?
[00:43:35]  And I'm seriously working with my team.
[00:43:36]  I don't know how to make them meet.
[00:43:38]  I don't know if I just need to, I was talking with Jordan about this on his podcast.
[00:43:41]  I was like, I don't know if you need to set up something after your shows, after your lectures, where you have them all, like all the cute men in their suits and the girls that come to listen.
[00:43:49]  I don't know what it is, but something because they're out there and they are desperately searching.
[00:43:52]  I just did an episode about Bumble.
[00:43:54]  Bumble just did a huge rebrand.
[00:43:57]  Most people are still trying to meet partners on dating apps.
[00:44:01]  How did you know what Bumble is?
[00:44:02]  Okay.
[00:44:03]  So Bumble was created in 2014 to empower women.
[00:44:06]  It is the feminist dating app and women had to make the first move.
[00:44:09]  And so they did that so the women were in the driver's seat.
[00:44:11]  They did not have to get any, you know, unsolicited sexual pictures, no cringe comments from men.
[00:44:16]  They were in control.
[00:44:17]  So it's like Tinder and Hinge where you swipe, but the women have to send the first message.
[00:44:21]  Well, 10 years later, apparently it's a burden.
[00:44:23]  Women don't want to make the first move.
[00:44:24]  They don't want to do it.
[00:44:25]  That's the whole reason that the app was created.
[00:44:27]  But now they're saying, oh, it's too, it's too hard.
[00:44:29]  I don't want to do it.
[00:44:30]  So they created this system where Bumble sends an automatic message from the woman.
[00:44:34]  So technically it is still from the woman, but Bumble, the app, is sending it.
[00:44:38]  The men have to create the clever, interesting, personalized response.
[00:44:43]  And then the woman on the other side of the screen gets to think, is that clever enough?
[00:44:47]  I mean, it's just that is like, those are the apps.
[00:44:49]  That's what's going on.
[00:44:50]  They have become a game and they are designed to keep you on the app.
[00:44:52]  Like those apps make money by you not meeting somebody and not having a fulfilling relationship.
[00:44:57]  That whole need like we saw behind the social network, that's behind the dating apps.
[00:45:01]  Yes, for sure.
[00:45:02]  Oh my lord.
[00:45:03]  And I remember, like, I think that there is a way that you can use them well.
[00:45:05]  I was actually on Dennis Prager's show, gosh, like four years ago.
[00:45:08]  We were talking about homeschooling.
[00:45:09]  This was at the very beginning when I was starting to do this kind of work.
[00:45:13]  And we were talking about dating and I wasn't dating anybody at the time.
[00:45:16]  And he had said, I think that you should be on dating apps because you live in California.
[00:45:19]  And he said, if you use them correctly and you put all your values out there and you say, I am a Christian, I am conservative.
[00:45:25]  He's like, even if you're not fully conservative, just say that you are on the right, put them all out there because then you'll weed out all of the terrible people.
[00:45:32]  Yeah.
[00:45:32]  So it's good, good screening if you're willing to put yourself out there.
[00:45:35]  But even then, you get so many bots and so many people that are playing around.
[00:45:38]  It's just a mess.
[00:45:39]  So it really is a hellscape.
[00:45:42]  It's very difficult for people to meet.
[00:45:45]  And my heart goes out to people.
[00:45:46]  But I do hope that by consuming content, you know, like mine and like yours and other young people like Isabel Brown and Amalekinobi, like she was there last night.
[00:45:54]  She's, yeah, she's fantastic.
[00:45:56]  But consuming our kind of content, you know, young people, I hope that they are inspired to speak out and meet people in the real world and be brave about sharing their values so that they can then meet somebody who shares their values.
[00:46:06]  Because it really is, it's very difficult.
[00:46:08]  And set a higher standard for themselves than for anybody who they allow to access their life.
[00:46:13]  Yes.
[00:46:14]  Never mind themselves intimately.
[00:46:16]  So I got to ask you, how did you and your husband meet?
[00:46:18]  We met through work.
[00:46:19]  Oh, okay.
[00:46:19]  Daily Wire?
[00:46:20]  Do you a Daily Wire guy?
[00:46:21]  Yeah.
[00:46:21]  Oh, that's great.
[00:46:22]  Yeah.
[00:46:22]  He left afterwards, but it was never expected to meet somebody through work.
[00:46:27]  But honestly, I was actually talking to Dennis about it last night because we were saying, you know, you told me to go on dating apps.
[00:46:32]  I was like, that was terrible, Dennis.
[00:46:33]  But I left Los Angeles soon after that.
[00:46:35]  So his advice was not as needed because then I moved to Idaho and then I moved to Tennessee.

=== Redefining the Word Woman (14:12) ===

[00:46:41]  So I think that there were more options.
[00:46:43]  But, you know, that was how it's very bold.
[00:46:44]  It's very bold, very optimistic of you to get married so young.
[00:46:47]  I love it.
[00:46:48]  I wish I had met my husband at 22 and that we had gotten married then, but I love it.
[00:46:52]  I'm so grateful.
[00:46:53]  I mean, everything that I do now, obviously, I think that we're pretty traditional, but we also have a bit of a non-traditional marriage because I work and I'm obviously very much in the public eye.
[00:47:03]  But like, he's the reason why I feel confident enough to do all of this.
[00:47:07]  His support, his passion for it, his excitement about all of it.
[00:47:11]  It's like he is, and our marriage is the most important thing in my life, but it also propels everything else.
[00:47:16]  Like it drives me in so many ways.
[00:47:18]  His support drives me.
[00:47:19]  He's so intelligent.
[00:47:20]  He's a, we have a great rapport.
[00:47:21]  He's an amazing like intellectual starring, sparring partner.
[00:47:24]  So it really felt like the right thing.
[00:47:26]  That's like, she's amazing.
[00:47:27]  I couldn't recommend it more.
[00:47:28]  Obviously, I'm a month man.
[00:47:29]  It's a baby.
[00:47:30]  Well, you're glowing, so something's working.
[00:47:32]  I'm so happy for my daughter.
[00:47:33]  I don't know why I wasn't invited to the wedding.
[00:47:36]  I'm going to have to talk to your dad about that.
[00:47:38]  Yes.
[00:47:38]  Brett, all the best.
[00:47:39]  Thank you so much.
[00:47:40]  And good luck with the show and all of it.
[00:47:42]  Thank you.
[00:47:42]  That's awesome.
[00:47:43]  Okay.

[00:49:17]  He's hysterical.
[00:49:18]  Kyle, welcome back to the show.
[00:49:20]  Thank you for having me, mom.
[00:49:22]  And then that's so nice.
[00:49:23]  Your family, and you know the episode I was on.
[00:49:26]  Yes, because it lives as a legend in our family.
[00:49:30]  You're incredibly talented.
[00:49:33]  I just actually, I'll just kick it off with just remind people of what happened there.
[00:49:37]  This was Kyle as Trans Trump, a character he does where it's Trump, only Trump's Trump is trans on the MK show in 2022.
[00:49:45]  Watch this 31.
[00:49:47]  So stunning.
[00:49:48]  So terrific.
[00:49:49]  Trans Trump.
[00:49:50]  No.
[00:49:52]  Look, look, you got to vote for me.
[00:49:54]  You got that choice.
[00:49:55]  You got to do it.
[00:49:56]  I know that you prized beauty.
[00:49:58]  You used to own and run a beauty contest.
[00:50:00]  I'm not sure you'd be winning any of those awards like this.
[00:50:03]  Look, Megan Kelly.
[00:50:04]  Look at her attacking me again.
[00:50:06]  You know, you're so nasty to me.
[00:50:08]  I don't know why.
[00:50:10]  Look, look, look.
[00:50:11]  You're so nasty.
[00:50:13]  Nasty woman.
[00:50:14]  You're a nasty lady.
[00:50:18]  You're a nasty lady.
[00:50:19]  You're amazing at this.
[00:50:21]  Were you always good at impressions?
[00:50:22]  Did you grow up doing them?
[00:50:25]  You know, it's funny.
[00:50:26]  I had, when I was really young to impress girls, I did some impressions.
[00:50:32]  And then I remember I did Michael Jackson.
[00:50:35]  And then I started doing stand-up and my manager, they were like, don't do impressions.
[00:50:41]  It was very, I don't know, just out or not cool to do it.
[00:50:45]  They were like, you know, Tim Allen, those kind of shows, Drew Care, they talked about their lives.
[00:50:50]  So I stopped doing them because I just was like listening to people I probably shouldn't have listened to.
[00:50:55]  And then the pandemic happened and they had the face swap technology.
[00:50:59]  And I actually did Trump years ago, just when he was on the apprentice, just for friends.
[00:51:05]  And I look nothing like him.
[00:51:07]  Like I look the opposite of him.
[00:51:09]  And so this face swap thing, I was like, oh, I can do him now because I mean, if you look at every feature of his face is different than mine.
[00:51:18]  It's complete opposite.
[00:51:20]  Because the face swap for the listening audience.
[00:51:23]  And then those took off.
[00:51:24]  So the listening audience doesn't know what we're talking about yet.
[00:51:26]  But Kyle's not, he's in LA, but he's not in the studio with me because he does this thing that you have, he has to be via Zoom to do it, where he swaps in the person he's imitating their face on top of his face.
[00:51:38]  Kyle puts on a wig that's aligned with the character and then he thus becomes said person and it works.
[00:51:45]  How do you do this?
[00:51:46]  Do you do this like in front of audiences?
[00:51:48]  How could you ever do that in the stand-up?
[00:51:49]  Yeah, I have done that on live shows and I'll just put my laptop on stage, like on a table, and then I'll project it on the screen.
[00:51:57]  Okay.
[00:51:58]  But usually I don't bring that.
[00:52:00]  It's a whole apparatus that I don't like to lug around.
[00:52:04]  Well, now you have something else to show those people, which is you starring in Mr. Bertram as Eddie, Eddie Burcham, the son.
[00:52:13]  So Adam and I, our characters have two kids.
[00:52:15]  Brett plays one of them and you play the other.
[00:52:17]  And here's just a clip.
[00:52:18]  Here's a clip of Eddie as voiced by Kyle playing video games, which is his obsession.
[00:52:25]  Turn this crap off and come upstairs and eat like a normal human bear.
[00:52:29]  Bing.
[00:52:30]  Can't.
[00:52:31]  I'm crushing this camper during a little PvP.
[00:52:33]  Boss style.
[00:52:35]  PvP.
[00:52:36]  I thought you could only get one of those if you had a girlfriend.
[00:52:39]  And maybe you could get a girlfriend if you played a real sport.
[00:52:43]  This is a real sport.
[00:52:44]  I'm wearing my team jersey.
[00:52:45]  16 and a half.
[00:52:46]  What's that?
[00:52:47]  Larry Bird divided by two?
[00:52:48]  That none of the angry birds are named Larry.
[00:52:51]  Yes.
[00:52:52]  Headshot.
[00:52:54]  Is that chair vibrating?
[00:52:56]  Take care of your body and it'll take care of you.
[00:53:00]  Says the guy is chugging an energy drink that was made in a lab in Wuhan.
[00:53:04]  It's heated, does acupuncture, and can insult my competitors in 20 languages.
[00:53:11]  When I was on a construction site, my chair was a five-gallon bucket.
[00:53:16]  There's also my toilet.
[00:53:22]  So I did like a California thing because I know he grew up in California.
[00:53:26]  So I was like, maybe he's like, talks like this.
[00:53:28]  Yeah, that works.
[00:53:30]  That's my character work.
[00:53:31]  Well, see, that's your, that's your.
[00:53:32]  I got all my Bertram merch here.
[00:53:34]  Where'd you get Bertram merch?
[00:53:35]  I got to know Bertram merch.
[00:53:37]  They just gave them to their favorites.
[00:53:39]  Yeah, clearly.
[00:53:39]  You got to know someone.
[00:53:40]  Hello, Curtis.
[00:53:42]  Nate.
[00:53:42]  I got screwed.
[00:53:44]  Let's chat about, you know, some of our characters in the news because I know you have intimate access to some of these guys, including, why don't we, we mentioned Kim Kardashian with Brett Cooper.
[00:53:53]  So I'm going to pick it up there.
[00:53:54]  I don't know if you, I know she's, she's a close personal friend of yours.
[00:53:58]  Oh, yeah, there she is.
[00:53:59]  Hi, Kim.
[00:54:00]  She's actually here right now.
[00:54:02]  Hi, Megan.
[00:54:03]  All right.
[00:54:04]  So great to meet you.
[00:54:05]  I want to give you the chance to respond to the controversy over your teeny tiny waist that looked like it was about 12 inches around.
[00:54:12]  Some people are wondering whether you had organs removed from your body.
[00:54:16]  Yeah, I had 16 ribs removed and they told me I only had 14.
[00:54:22]  Yeah.
[00:54:25]  I know that wasn't your only big event this week, though, because you went to the Met Gala and the night before you were at the Tom Brady Roast.
[00:54:33]  And Kim, I'm going to play a sound bite here.
[00:54:35]  It didn't go well for you.
[00:54:36]  You got up there and you made a joke.
[00:54:39]  Here's the reaction.
[00:54:40]  I'm going to show it and then you can react.
[00:54:42]  Watch.
[00:54:43]  I know a lot of people make fun of your height.
[00:54:50]  All right.
[00:54:50]  All right.
[00:54:53]  You were booed.
[00:54:55]  Why?
[00:54:56]  I got booed.
[00:54:57]  That was so bad.
[00:54:59]  I look pretty good though, yeah.
[00:55:02]  You look care about.
[00:55:04]  Oh, I see.
[00:55:05]  Well, what about your billion-dollar business?
[00:55:07]  You must care about that.
[00:55:09]  Well, I do, of course, but I think that just helps any kind of press is good press.
[00:55:15]  Even booing press is okay.
[00:55:18]  You did you enjoy the Met Gala going there with all those actual celebrities and you know hobnobbing with the well, the I guess the actual C-list talent that's left in Hollywood?
[00:55:28]  Yeah, I like to go to events like that because I can dress up and wear cute outfits.
[00:55:33]  Yeah.
[00:55:34]  So yeah.
[00:55:35]  It's exciting.
[00:55:37]  All right, Kim, well, thanks for coming on.
[00:55:38]  This is a big exclusive for us.
[00:55:40]  I appreciate you being here.
[00:55:41]  It's very hard to book him, even though she's literally everywhere.
[00:55:46]  Okay, what I'd really like to do, if you don't mind getting political, is speak with Joe Biden.
[00:55:51]  We ran a clip of Mr. Trump, who's in a different phase of life right now.
[00:55:56]  Oh, here he is, Mr. President.
[00:55:57]  Great to see you.
[00:55:58]  How are you?
[00:55:59]  Hey, hey, good to see you again, Megan.
[00:56:02]  Megan Smelly.
[00:56:03]  You're lovely.
[00:56:04]  Not smelly.
[00:56:05]  Come on, you're lovely.
[00:56:07]  You're like a great lady to snap out.
[00:56:09]  I want that to be clear.
[00:56:12]  I've got to ask you, Mr. President, you know, the polls lately have been maybe a little better for you, but it's not looking great for you in these polls in the swing states.
[00:56:21]  How do you turn that around?
[00:56:23]  Look, we got to get rid of this Donald Doc guy.
[00:56:28]  Come on.
[00:56:31]  All we have to do is talk about the real issues.
[00:56:34]  For example, Maximilts are coming over the border.
[00:56:39]  Some as young as $1.99.
[00:56:43]  And paragraph, new paragraph.
[00:56:46]  Smile.
[00:56:50]  Now, are you having a prompt or issue again, Mr. President?
[00:56:53]  It seems like you might be reading your answers.
[00:56:57]  Look, look, we just, what we have to do is we have to tell the people that I'm just doing.
[00:57:02]  No, don't worry about my age.
[00:57:05]  We can even, we can just weaken it, Bernie's, this thing for the next four years.
[00:57:09]  Smile.
[00:57:10]  Do you feel like, you know, if anything happens?
[00:57:15]  Do you feel like if anything happens to you, we can feel good about Kamala Harris ascending to the presidency?
[00:57:24]  That's what I'm saying.
[00:57:24]  You don't have to worry about Kamala Harlip.
[00:57:27]  Everyone knows we can just weaken it, Bernie's me.
[00:57:30]  It's a fine piece of film.
[00:57:31]  It's a wonderful movie.
[00:57:33]  So if nothing else, I promise in my next term, at the very least, will be quite hilarious.
[00:57:39]  Semicolon.
[00:57:40]  The hijinks alone will be worth wild.
[00:57:43]  Triple exclamation point.
[00:57:46]  And Paige.
[00:57:48]  Next page.
[00:57:51]  What?
[00:57:51]  Mr. President, I really wanted to ask you a question because recently on Cinco de Mayo, you had a big party and you brought out the margaritas in the Rose Garden and had a great time demanding that Congress demand or allow dreamers who have been model citizens, according to you, come into the country and vote.
[00:58:08]  And that was very controversial.
[00:58:10]  How did you, did you drink those margaritas?
[00:58:12]  Because you said some weird things that day.
[00:58:17]  At Roseguard, was I what was I doing?
[00:58:21]  Why was I in the Rose Guard?
[00:58:23]  Well, you're the president, and that's your garden.
[00:58:25]  President, I'd like to meet that man.
[00:58:29]  Salute that guy.
[00:58:37]  Can I ask you, sir?
[00:58:39]  I know this may be a little impudent, but you seem to get lost a lot when I see you in these videos, and you seem to have trouble with the stairs up Air Force One.
[00:58:50]  I mean, if it's not your age, what is it we're seeing in those videos?
[00:58:56]  But those are, those are, those are fake films.
[00:59:01]  They'll take a perfectly good job on, you know, I'll take my talkie pills and I'll be doing just fine.
[00:59:08]  Sometimes the stairs will come at you and they'll move that things that things on the conveyor belt if you don't familiar with what plain stairs.
[00:59:20]  Got to look really closely, I guess, to see it.
[00:59:23]  I have to ask you about your revisions to Title IX.
[00:59:26]  I have to tell you, I'm very unhappy with you.
[00:59:29]  You made, you redefined the word woman.
[00:59:32]  You now said that biological boys and men in K through 12 in college can go into the girls' locker rooms, into the girls' bathrooms.
[00:59:40]  Why'd you do that?
[00:59:42]  That's right.
[00:59:43]  That's right.
[00:59:44]  Because it's the right thing to do.
[00:59:47]  Whether it's a boy having vaginas or penis having girls, everyone deserves to go to the bathroom in the same place.
[00:59:56]  And I'll stand by that.
[00:59:58]  Smile.
[01:00:01]  Would you want your daughter using such a bathroom with a biological man coming in?
[01:00:08]  Well, who's to say?
[01:00:09]  You know, my daughter could have a penis or a vagina or a vagina or a penis.
[01:00:17]  You know, the worst thing you could do is tell a man that he has to have certain things.
[01:00:23]  And, you know, there's a stall there.
[01:00:25]  You close the door, man.
[01:00:26]  Come on.
[01:00:28]  Well, the other thing you did in your Title IX revisions was you took away due process rights for young men on college campus who campuses who get accused of sexual assault.
[01:00:39]  And, you know, it does occur to me, sir, respectfully, that if you held yourself to those same standards when Tara Reed accused you of a sexual assault, you might be behind bars.
[01:00:51]  Oh, come on.
[01:00:52]  And yeah, I just gave her a nice little sniff.

=== Popsicle Gag Order Creepy (10:00) ===

[01:00:54]  That's all.
[01:00:54]  It's the difference between a sniff and a sexual sniff.
[01:00:58]  Big difference.
[01:00:59]  Plus, you're assuming I'm if you're assuming I'm doing, I'm right.
[01:01:09]  I'm sorry.
[01:01:10]  Come on.
[01:01:10]  You know the thing.
[01:01:13]  Get your face out of your ears, pal.
[01:01:17]  What do you, you know, Mr. President, sometimes you refer to the dead people as alive and the alive people as dead.
[01:01:22]  That's happening more and more.
[01:01:24]  What's like, do you not remember who's dead and alive?
[01:01:28]  Yeah, well, you know, it's hard to, you know, you know, it's hard to remember sometimes who's a dead and who's not alive person.
[01:01:36]  So I think what the best thing is we can do as a nation is come together and just start all over.
[01:01:42]  And just if I if I say, here's the thing, it's better than a Donald Duck guy.
[01:01:49]  That's the vote, man.
[01:01:50]  All right.
[01:01:52]  You guys got orange legs.
[01:01:55]  You know, before I let you go, I've got to let you respond to the criticism that was launched the way of your wife.
[01:02:01]  At the top of the show, Adam Corolla came on and made a point I confess I've made myself in the past, sir, and that is that your wife has no business calling herself doctor, that she's not a real doctor.
[01:02:12]  Care to respond?
[01:02:14]  Yeah, she's a real, come on, she's a real doctor, doctor.
[01:02:19]  She's a doctor of Of something, man, right?
[01:02:24]  What are you saying?
[01:02:25]  She's, you can go to her, ask her, I go to her all the time.
[01:02:29]  I say, Jill, what do I do with this?
[01:02:32]  You know, she'll say get a band-aid or whatnot.
[01:02:34]  And she's a doctor.
[01:02:37]  You think?
[01:02:38]  What do you think she is?
[01:02:40]  Oh, yeah, she, I think she's got something approaching a doctorate, but not an actual PhD in education.
[01:02:50]  Jill.
[01:02:52]  Hey, you're a doctor.
[01:02:56]  Huh?
[01:02:58]  What?
[01:03:00]  What?
[01:03:01]  You're right.
[01:03:01]  She's not.
[01:03:02]  She's not a doctor.
[01:03:03]  Did she?
[01:03:04]  I've never asked you that before.
[01:03:07]  You maybe should find a new doctor, sir, to look after your neurological health.
[01:03:11]  Thank you so much for being here.
[01:03:12]  That's a great honor to have you on the program.
[01:03:14]  We appreciate it.
[01:03:16]  Thank you.
[01:03:16]  Thank you, Megan.
[01:03:17]  It's not a baby.
[01:03:19]  Good luck to your young family.
[01:03:21]  Now, I missed my opportunity when we were talking about the Met Gala to bring up another guest who was there.
[01:03:29]  And this is someone I actually really admire, unlike my first two guests, and that is Jeff Goldblum.
[01:03:33]  He's a great actor.
[01:03:36]  Oh, Jeff, thank you so much for coming on the Megan Kelly Show.
[01:03:41]  Yes.
[01:03:42]  Megan, so wonderful to be here.
[01:03:44]  I've never been on your show before, but I do love watching.
[01:03:49]  And so it's an honor to be here.
[01:03:50]  Oh, wonderful.
[01:03:52]  And if I'm creepy, please let me know.
[01:03:57]  People say that I appear creepy, so please keep me in line.
[01:04:03]  Not getting the creepy vibe at all.
[01:04:05]  You went to the Met Gala, and unlike many there, you actually, you know, have a thing or two between your two ears.
[01:04:11]  And you actually started reciting the poem, The Raven, aloud.
[01:04:16]  I mean, that was impressive.
[01:04:18]  How did you become such a learned man?
[01:04:22]  Well, I've always just enjoyed poems.
[01:04:26]  And, you know, what I love about them is they sort of condense and they say much more, much like a painting than just droning on.
[01:04:37]  But the Met Gala is the perfect place for a poem.
[01:04:42]  Yes.
[01:04:42]  It's a classy and elegant evening of women dressing like whores.
[01:04:50]  Yes.
[01:04:51]  Yes, many people enjoyed that.
[01:04:53]  I was not one of them, but I understand.
[01:04:55]  And so you look back now, you're getting a little older, but you still look great.
[01:04:59]  I saw you recently at a restaurant in New York City.
[01:05:01]  You were completely gracious to myself and my husband, my children.
[01:05:06]  I appreciated that.
[01:05:07]  But as you look back on your very successful career, what jumps out at you?
[01:05:11]  Is it Jurassic Park?
[01:05:14]  What was your favorite film that you did?
[01:05:18]  Actually, my favorite work was my work on apartments.com because I'm helping people find places to live.
[01:05:29]  And although it is fun to work with dinosaurs, yes, yes.
[01:05:33]  I do love dinosaurs.
[01:05:35]  I'd actually like to find a dinosaur.
[01:05:38]  I'm not sure if they lived in caves or whatever, but I like to house people more than act.
[01:05:47]  Thank you again for being here.
[01:05:48]  We look forward to your next Academy Award.
[01:05:50]  We'll be cheering you on.
[01:05:52]  Yes, Kyle, you're amazing.
[01:05:59]  Like, is this what you do in your spare time?
[01:06:01]  Do you just like sit around coming up with these voices and working on them?
[01:06:05]  Wait, you still have your, there you go.
[01:06:06]  There's your face.
[01:06:07]  I have too much.
[01:06:08]  I have too much spare time.
[01:06:09]  Yeah.
[01:06:10]  And I have, yeah, I have this is popsicle Trump, Donald Trump.
[01:06:16]  I've got no face swap for Donald, so I had to be a popsicle because of my gag order.
[01:06:23]  The judge wouldn't allow me on the show unless I was a popsicle.
[01:06:29]  But it's great being a popsicle.
[01:06:30]  You can go right up to women.
[01:06:32]  You can slide on up where the sun don't shine.
[01:06:35]  When you're a popsicle, they let you do it.
[01:06:37]  They let you do it when you're a popsicle.
[01:06:40]  But you got to get out of there before you melt, though.
[01:06:43]  Believe me, you got to get out of there.
[01:06:46]  Great to see you, Megan.
[01:06:48]  You're a beautiful, you're a nasty woman, but you're a beautiful woman as well.
[01:06:51]  A beautiful, nasty woman.
[01:06:53]  I hope you like that compliment.
[01:06:55]  Trump gives the greatest compliment.
[01:06:58]  Mr. Trump, I didn't realize you were going to come on.
[01:07:02]  I'll take you in any form.
[01:07:03]  This is a big get.
[01:07:05]  What's your reaction to Stormy Daniels on the stand yesterday, claiming you had an interlude?
[01:07:12]  Excuse me.
[01:07:16]  I have a gag order here.
[01:07:17]  Okay.
[01:07:18]  I can't say that Stormy is a total liar.
[01:07:20]  I can't threaten the jury, although I could have the ball killed very easily.
[01:07:26]  If this doesn't go Trump's way, people know.
[01:07:29]  I know people.
[01:07:30]  So the jury needs to do the right thing, but I've got a gag order, Kelly.
[01:07:35]  You know, I can't talk about this.
[01:07:36]  I can't threaten the jury.
[01:07:38]  Love to talk about it.
[01:07:40]  Well, is it true?
[01:07:41]  I mean, like, do you have any reaction to her taking the stand and saying you slept with her in 2006?
[01:07:47]  You told her you and Melania don't sleep in the same bed.
[01:07:49]  And you had a quote brief sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels in the missionary position.
[01:07:54]  She was very explicit.
[01:07:56]  And then you called her honey bunch.
[01:07:58]  True or not true?
[01:08:01]  First of all, a couple of things here.
[01:08:03]  Doesn't she understand the concept of a gag order?
[01:08:07]  The hush buddy, the hush, that hush is in the is right there, hush buddy.
[01:08:13]  Okay.
[01:08:13]  And I don't look at a woman face to face, so that's a total lie.
[01:08:17]  I never do missionary.
[01:08:19]  It's too confronting for me.
[01:08:21]  So there's proof.
[01:08:24]  You know, you're like a classy Stormy Daniels to me.
[01:08:26]  I thought about that when Stormby was on the stand.
[01:08:29]  I'm like, this is just like Megan Kelly, the Stormy Daniels, but you're much more classy, of course.
[01:08:36]  Thank you.
[01:08:36]  Stormy is like a Megan Kelly whose dad doesn't love her.
[01:08:40]  Sorry, that's what I think.
[01:08:42]  You're a very classy Stormy.
[01:08:46]  I appreciate that.
[01:08:47]  I mean, I don't know.
[01:08:48]  Like, there are still some women in America.
[01:08:50]  They may not look very favorably on the fact that this was an extramarital interlude, sir.
[01:08:56]  Look, look, nobody cares.
[01:08:59]  Okay.
[01:08:59]  Nobody cares.
[01:09:01]  What is why?
[01:09:02]  Why can't Trump talk?
[01:09:04]  Okay.
[01:09:04]  What's with this gag order?
[01:09:06]  I mean, at most, Stormby's got a ball gag order.
[01:09:10]  Not so terrific, this judge.
[01:09:13]  Okay.
[01:09:13]  I was hoping to do that joke of the Tom Brady roast, but they wouldn't have a popsicle.
[01:09:19]  So wasn't able to do it.
[01:09:21]  Sadly.
[01:09:22]  What do you think of Tom Brady, by the way?
[01:09:24]  He's getting a lot of blowback, Mr. Trump.
[01:09:25]  I mean, he was your supporter, but there are a lot of blowback in the wake of that roast.
[01:09:29]  People saying he was, he allowed too many terrible jokes about both of his exes, Bridget Moynihan and Giselle.
[01:09:36]  And he got in somebody's face over a joke about Robert Kraft.
[01:09:39]  You know, it wasn't really that beyond the pale.
[01:09:42]  I don't know.
[01:09:42]  Do you think Tom Brady handled himself well?
[01:09:46]  I mean, he's a total loser.
[01:09:48]  Let's be honest.
[01:09:48]  The guy's a total loser.
[01:09:50]  It's all over for Tom.
[01:09:52]  Okay.
[01:09:52]  This is what they do.
[01:09:53]  They go on these roasts.
[01:09:55]  They try to get attention, but it's all over.
[01:09:57]  Okay.
[01:09:58]  The guy's a pretty guy.
[01:09:59]  He's a good-looking guy.
[01:10:00]  It's not jealousy, but he's going to just be good.
[01:10:03]  That's a diminishing return.
[01:10:05]  There he looks, you know.
[01:10:06]  Is it even for you?
[01:10:10]  No, I'm a popsicle.
[01:10:11]  I should be all right.
[01:10:12]  Keep me in the freezer.
[01:10:14]  Should be okay.
[01:10:16]  Thank you, sir.
[01:10:17]  Good luck to you on the trial.
[01:10:18]  So far, you know, it's going as well for you as it possibly could, but I think we all know how this is likely to turn out.
[01:10:25]  It's going terrifically.
[01:10:26]  And watch Bertram.
[01:10:28]  You got to watch it.
[01:10:29]  You got to watch it.
[01:10:30]  You got to do it.
[01:10:32]  You do.
[01:10:33]  I agree.
[01:10:34]  Watch Mr. Bertram at Daily Wire Plus, if for no other reason than to get to know Kyle Dunnegan better.
[01:10:39]  You're amazing.
[01:10:40]  Thank you so much for coming back on, Kyle.
[01:10:42]  Thank you, mom.
[01:10:44]  We'll talk to you later.
[01:10:45]  Bye, sweetheart.
[01:10:50]  Thanks for listening to The Megan Kelly Show.
[01:10:52]  No BS, no agenda, and no
