MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I will say, I'm having difficulty believing everything that our government is putting out, which is strange for me. I normally would believe our government. And it's not about Trump. It's about having been lied to for so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan and having accepted their lies unquestioningly and peddled them, you know, unwittingly. And I just refuse to be the conduit to that again.
It's very easy to — it's very interesting to me, Emily, that virtually all of the loudest pushback on this war has come from people who are in the independent news space, right? I would say the independent lane has been most forceful and probably most effective in turning around public opinion on this because no one owns us. No one controls us.
So it's like one thing if MSNBC is like it sucks and Trump sucks. Of course, they all know what they're doing on team blue. Even though a lot of those Democrats are beholden to AIPAC and are not saying that in any way because they actually want to make a point about Israel's control. You know, they're just saying it because they hate Trump. But there's a lot happening in the independent lane right now, these podcasters who we were told have absolutely no power, who I think are turning sentiment with some people because we're all able to report very openly and honestly on the folly of what we're doing here and the reversal and the betrayal that this was to Trump's campaign promises.
And look, the president — I told him this directly that I don't support this war, but I do support him. And there's a difference. You can — you can still support Trump and his agenda without — you don't have to go full TDS in order to say, I object to this war and I don't think this is a good idea. And I don't know, have you noticed this at all, like in the coverage? Because, you know, if you turn on Fox News, you only have one message, and there is a reason for that.
