MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Dave Smith, who's been very critical of Trump and of this war, he posted the following on X: Obviously, this administration has already destroyed the coalition that won Trump the popular vote in every swing state in 2024. But imagine — and I don't think this will happen, he wrote — that they put up zero deep state arrests, that they covered up the Epstein scandal and launched a war for Israel against Iran, and then prosecuted Tucker Carlson for trying to get Trump to keep his campaign promises. If you wanted to destroy this country, this would be the best course of action. 

He's not wrong. He's not wrong. But, I mean, truly, imagine that no one goes down for the entire Epstein controversy or the deep state stuff that we spent most of the summer talking about. You know, the charges against Tish James have not been refiled. James Comey, he gets away with it. John Brennan, he gets away with it. Barack Obama gets away with it. All the stuff we covered in July when those memos started to come out that had been classified, right? Everyone gets away with it, but Tucker Carlson gets prosecuted for a phone call with Iran?

It — true, if you wanted to destroy the country, you wouldn't behave differently. I don't think it's going to happen.
