MEGYN KELLY (HOST): It's just like -- it's been so crazy. You know crazy Mark Levin, he was out there -- I can't find it. I put it on my phone, but now I can't find it. But he was literally out there, Glenn -- Tucker [Carlson] ran the sound bite on his show -- calling me, among others, calling me an antisemite, a Nazi, a neo-Nazi, and saying I want Jews killed.
I really -- like I don't really respond to him. He's really, truly -- he's gone crazy. But what I really wanted to say, if I were going to engage with Mark Levin, was please list all of my anti-Israel comments. I'll wait. Please list them all. Honestly.
There was this thing that happened online this weekend, and Mehdi Hasan, who's a very, very pointed Israel critic, was trying to compare himself to me. And I was like, no, no, no, no, there's no comparison between the two of us. One is criticizing Israel every day, including 10/8, and one has been a staunch defender of Israel, not to mention American Jews. I will wait for all of my anti-Israel comments. And then if you want to switch to anti-Jew comments, anti Jewish Americans -- you won't find a single one. With Israel, you're going to find two. Me saying maybe it's time to wrap it up and they're losing the support of young Americans, including conservatives now. That's literally it, Glenn.
It's the platforming of and refusal to denounce Tucker and just to another extent, Candace. It's insane. It's truly insane, and this is fracturing the conservative movement in two in a way that is going to play out at the presidential level too when it comes to [Vice President] JD Vance. I don't know what [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio's position will be. He's been very, very pro Israel. He sounds much more like America first now.
So I am sure most American Jewish people who are pro neocon, like who are more neocon-y, would prefer Marco Rubio to JD Vance or somebody else entirely who's totally neocon-y like [Texas Sen.] Ted Cruz. But this is about to play out. Right now it's at the podcaster level, but it's about to explode into the actual principal level because within the next year, we're going to be looking for 2028 talk more than midterms.
