JESSE KELLY (GUEST): Michelle Obama, and I almost, in a way — I need to clarify — in a way, I almost feel a little bit bad for her. I do this sometimes when it comes to wealthy, powerful people who are obviously miserable. I mean, you only get one shot at this life. Whether you're poor or rich or famous or nobody knows who you are, you're not going to get the do over. You don't get to come back and try it again. So imagine if you get unbelievable blessings on this earth, and you're just miserable the entire time. What a waste of a wonderful life that would be, whether you're rich or poor, if you never find anything to smile about, if you never look around and think, this is wonderful. 

How — have you ever in her years -- what is it now, Megyn, 20 years, something like that of them being in the public eye? 

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Yeah. 

JESSE KELLY: Do you ever remember a time of that woman seeming genuinely full of joy and and happiness?

MEGYN KELLY: No.

JESSE KELLY: I never remember. She's always mad, always miserable, always offended, always -- it's a constant state of affairs. 

And you know what? Speaking of people I don't like who I feel a little bit bad for — because I can't stand Barack Obama, I think he really did a lot to destroy the United States of America — imagine being stuck tethered to that thing [Michelle Obama] for the rest of your life. 

MEGYN KELLY: Oh my. 

JESSE KELLY: I'll tell you what, I would golf more than anybody's ever — I'd be on the PGA tour —

MEGYN KELLY: Yes. 

JESSE KELLY: Because I'd spend so much time on the golf course. I'd be, “Oh, well, you know, honey, I have a business meeting in Saudi Arabia. I'll be back in a couple weeks." I'd I would be gone forever. You'd never see me. 

MEGYN KELLY: Or just get a divorce. Like, the children are grown. Get a divorce. Barack Obama would have no trouble finding someone to actually love him and root for him and have stars in her eyes for him. No trouble whatsoever. They should get a divorce. Honestly, it's very clear they don't love each other. 

She's not capable of loving him. And how can he love just this steaming heap of nastiness? Like, no one's in love with a steaming heap of negativity. That's all she is about everything. Like I say, it's not just him, it's not just the children, time is first lady, my god. She hates everything as far as I can tell except for her current schedule.
