MEGYN KELLY (GUEST): Actually getting America into a new Middle East war, leading our soldiers to be killed, you know, endangering another generation, this is going to be held against them. The Americans are awake now on the issue of Israel — yours truly included — in a way we weren't the day before. So, that's the good news. On the subject of Trump regretting this, I do. I think he regrets it very much.
SHAWN RYAN (HOST): Why do you think that?
KELLY: Because he's not dumb, and he knows it's crushing him. It's crushing his numbers. When have you ever seen Trump exposed to bad polls not come out and attack the polls? Why isn't he doing that? Because it's every poll. It's every poll: left, right, center. There hasn't been one poll that's good for him other than one CNN survey of core MAGA voters early on in the war, who said they were all 100% with Trump. Well, MAGA is basically defined as you're pro-Trump, so of course they're going to go along with Trump. But if you — MAGA is shrinking. At best, it's 19% of the electorate and -- or of the Republican Party. And, so, it's shrinking. It's shrinking in relevance. And the rest of the Republican Party is having real doubts about this war, and of course, the left is totally against it.
So, I think Trump is looking at his poll numbers, and he understands that not only is he, we have a 70% disapproval rating on this war and climbing, but it's driven down his approval ratings on the things that really do get people elected, like inflation and the economy. It's caused inflation. We can all see that. For the first time last month, we saw the cost of living, like the cost of wages — the wages increase was lower than the increase in inflation. One was 3.6%, one was 3.8. So people's paychecks are literally no longer keeping up with the rise in inflation, and his approval ratings have a corresponding dip. He is way underwater on his economic approval numbers when it comes to the overall economy and certainly on inflation with everyone. He's — all the Hispanics who came to team Trump in 2024 are gone. Not only are they — they're not ambivalent. They are saying that they're going to vote for the Democrats. They are deeply disappointed in him. The white —
RYAN: Everybody's fucking gone except Fox News, Mark Levin —
KELLY: Yes.
RYAN — Benny Johnson, and Dan Bongino.
KELLY: Yup. The white working class leaving.
RYAN: Am I missing anyone? I mean, Rogan, you --
KELLY: Yup.
RYAN: -- Tucker, Candace, Tim Dylan, all the comedians, Theo Von, me, every big podcast out there is like, fuck you.
KELLY: Yeah, you lied.
RYAN: Fuck you.
KELLY: You betrayed.
