GREG KELLY (HOST): I just — I'm a little bit surprised by some of these people who speak with such conviction because they read an article in the fake news. Right?
Anyway, I know and like Megyn Kelly, and I continue to do so. I can disagree with her about her ideas. You know, she's like an institution, right? She's the new New York Times. And when she says something like that, I think it has to be addressed.
And President Trump addressed it big time. Oh boy, did you see? He went on Truth Social. I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon, because they have one thing in common, low IQs. They're stupid people.
I don't actually think he believes this. He's just kind of trolling them a little bit.
Look at their past, thrown off of TV shows, blah blah blah, nut jobs and troublemakers, and will say anything necessary for free and cheap publicity.
Well, again, this is how people roll online. I support President Trump. I think he made the right call here. And sometimes I think we have too much commentary, too much commentary, you know what I mean? Every little thing. How do you govern in this kind of environment? That's a tough thing to do.
