Megyn Kelly Defends Candace Owens, Destroys Bari Weiss and CBS News in Scathing Interview with Tucker Carlson

[00:00] Candace Owens and that she really drives

[00:02] people crazy. She drives them crazy.

[00:05] They were very angry that I didn't call

[00:07] her out for what she said about Israel

[00:08] possibly being involved with Charlie

[00:10] Kirk. Well, I didn't call her out

[00:11] because I was totally fine with those

[00:12] questions being raised and still am. I

[00:15] like I'm sorry, [laughter]

[00:16] but I am I sick of this I I am

[00:20] allowed to have questions about what if

[00:22] anyone aligned with Israel or from

[00:24] Israel might have had to do with

[00:26] Charlie's death. I think it was Tyler

[00:28] Robinson. I think he acted either alone

[00:30] or with transif

[00:33] I got I have an open heart to he was

[00:35] manipulated by somebody I do. So I'm

[00:38] fine with those questions and I'm sorry

[00:39] for people who don't want them asked. Uh

[00:41] and then it switched to Erica Kirk and

[00:43] Turning Point. Erica became Turning

[00:46] Point became the focus of Candace Owens.

[00:48] And honestly Tucker from that point

[00:49] forward I worked with Turning Point and

[00:51] Erica regularly to say look Candace has

[00:54] a right to ask the questions she wants

[00:55] to ask. I'm very close with everybody

[00:58] there as I know you are too and I talk

[01:01] with them at length often about what's

[01:04] the best way of handling this right and

[01:06] I did not think it was a great idea to

[01:07] go out and try to combat each claim I

[01:10] really thought just let her do her thing

[01:12] you don't get to police her but you also

[01:15] don't have to respond to every question

[01:16] she asked like that's just not I

[01:18] wouldn't do it and I don't suggest you

[01:20] do it sometimes they agreed with me

[01:22] sometimes they didn't but for the whole

[01:24] time I was in close contact with them

[01:25] and then ultimately Eric America was

[01:27] asking me if I would help forge a

[01:29] meeting with them, broker a piece of

[01:32] some sorts. I told her, you know, maybe

[01:34] you could just email Candace and put it

[01:36] to bed. You know, maybe that's the best

[01:38] way instead of like getting together, I

[01:39] don't know, or doing some She wanted to

[01:41] do a live stream initially. Um, she

[01:44] didn't want to do it that way. Whatever.

[01:46] I tried to be of service. I spoke with

[01:47] Candace, too, and was honest with her.

[01:49] And I've gotten to know her a lot better

[01:51] over the past six months. And actually,

[01:52] I I know her better now than ever. And

[01:54] I've learned a lot about what's being

[01:56] done to Candace by some of the people

[01:58] we've been discussing. And it's

[02:00] disgusting and I'm horrified by what

[02:02] she's been put through. So I'm really

[02:04] just not in the mood. I'm not her

[02:06] policeman. I don't want to be her

[02:08] policeman. You don't like her? Don't

[02:10] click on her face. Same for me. Same for

[02:12] you. [laughter]

[02:15] >> It's the best. What I have to ask you

[02:17] about Barry Weiss CBS. How is that

[02:21] experiment going? And will it succeed?

[02:23] As a veteran of network news, I'm

[02:25] interested in your thoughts.

[02:27] >> No, it won't. It won't go well. It won't

[02:29] succeed. Nothing's going to change

[02:30] there. And Barry Weiss won't be the one

[02:32] to change it. First of all, Tucker,

[02:34] let's be honest. She's never worked in

[02:35] television a day in her life. Not one

[02:37] day. She actually wasn't very

[02:38] experienced even in the press business,

[02:39] even in the newspaper business. You

[02:41] know, she quit the New York Times after

[02:42] a couple years. So, she's got one thing

[02:45] going for her, which is she is not woke

[02:49] when it comes to

[02:51] blacks and Indians and like

[02:55] I can't think of any other favorite

[02:57] groups, but she is woke when it comes to

[02:59] American Jewish people and somewhat when

[03:01] it comes to women. So,

[03:04] okay, she's not as far-left as some of

[03:07] the other woke radicals who dragged us

[03:08] through 2020 and its aftermath. Um, but

[03:12] she she doesn't have any business

[03:13] running a news organization. And you

[03:15] know, people have pointed out that I

[03:16] sent out a tweet when she got the job

[03:18] saying she deserves her success. Of

[03:19] course, I was being nice because we were

[03:21] friendly. And also because I don't

[03:23] begrudge her her success or the money

[03:25] that she got paid for an organization

[03:27] that honestly wasn't worth $100 million.

[03:29] Like the multiples didn't play out, but

[03:31] God bless. If you can get somebody to

[03:32] pay you a ton of money for your

[03:34] company, go for it. Um,

[03:38] but no, she has no business running a

[03:39] news a TV news organization. There's a

[03:41] lot more to TV news than just taking the

[03:43] free press and putting it on TV. A lot

[03:46] more. It there's a reason they call it

[03:49] broadcast news. There are two pieces to

[03:51] it. The news is important, but so is the

[03:53] broadcast piece. And the fact that she

[03:55] put herself at the helm of the Erica

[03:57] Kirk town hall proves to me she doesn't

[04:00] understand the broadcast piece. Because

[04:02] I'm sorry not to be mean, but Barry

[04:04] Weiss is not a strong broadcaster for

[04:06] many, many reasons and she should not be

[04:08] on camera and she should not be the face

[04:10] of CBS News and she really shouldn't

[04:12] steal the on-air opportunities of the

[04:15] talent who are filling those roles.

[04:18] There's no better way, and I don't have

[04:19] to tell you this, to engender a loathing

[04:22] and resentment from the the talent that

[04:26] works in your bu building than for you

[04:28] as an executive to start stealing their

[04:31] prime time opportunities. It was a

[04:34] massive fail. The ratings sucked. And

[04:37] trust me, it wasn't because the public's

[04:39] not interested in Erica. She didn't lead

[04:41] Erica to good places for Erica to shine.

[04:44] She she ambushed her with the guy who

[04:47] asked Charlie the last question before

[04:50] he was shot and killed. She brought him

[04:52] back to face Erica Kirk to finish a

[04:55] question and to ask Erica to condemn

[04:58] Trump's violent rhetoric. This is the

[05:01] guy who saw Erica's husband get

[05:03] assassinated by a leftist

[05:06] furryloving guy. And now you want to

[05:09] make his widow condemn Trump who just

[05:11] gave her husband the presidential medal

[05:13] of freedom whose vice president buried

[05:16] him, got him on Air Force 2. How dare

[05:18] you? How dare you do that, Barry Weiss.

[05:20] And she had zero sensitivity about it.

[05:22] She ambushed her. And trust me when I

[05:24] tell you, there's no love loss between

[05:26] Erica Kirk and Barry Weiss. So that's

[05:29] just my little window into what she's

[05:31] been doing. But on top of that, Tucker,

[05:34] I I've got more if you want it.

[05:35] >> Oh, I love it. I love it. is you.

[05:37] There's no saving CBS evening. There's

[05:40] no saving evening news and there's

[05:41] really no saving CBS Evening News. This

[05:44] guy Tony Dapool, what has he done so

[05:46] far? Nobody knows who the hell he is.

[05:48] Um, so far he got the job because he had

[05:51] a contentious segment with Tanahi Coats

[05:53] in which he was good. Tanahi Coats went

[05:55] to Israel for 10 days and came back and

[05:57] said he was an expert on it and wanted

[05:59] to write his thoughts. Okay, you're not.

[06:01] Be quiet. Leave it to people who

[06:02] actually have done a little study on it.

[06:04] You're going anywhere for 10 days. I

[06:05] mean, I just got back from Montana for

[06:06] 10 days. Doesn't make me an expert on

[06:08] Montana. It's cold. It's got bears.

[06:10] People love to hunt, okay? Like, I'm not

[06:12] an expert, [snorts] okay? But anyway,

[06:14] um, that was a good interview. That's

[06:16] why he got the job because he stuck up

[06:18] for Israel. He has an ex-wife who's

[06:20] living in Israel. And of course, that's

[06:22] the agenda now of Barry Weiss and her

[06:23] boss, the Ellison's at CBS and possibly

[06:26] at CNN if they wind up buying that, too.

[06:28] Although, it's not looking good for them

[06:29] given the rejection of that bid today.

[06:31] In any event, so so that's why he got

[06:34] the job. What has What has he done? We

[06:35] pulled up a few segments that Tony

[06:37] Dokapool has done while a correspondent

[06:39] because now he's claiming I've always

[06:40] hated it. I've gotten it. Too much

[06:42] reliance on elites. I'm going to be for

[06:45] the people. He's trying to sound like a

[06:46] Fox News anchor. Well, we pulled up a

[06:48] couple of big news events. We pulled up

[06:50] the uh Border Patrol is whipping Haitian

[06:53] migrants at the border story. Did Tony

[06:55] Dokapool get it right even 24 hours into

[06:58] it after the Reuters photographer who

[07:00] took the pictures and said that's not

[07:02] what they show came out and said that's

[07:03] wrong. Nope. He jumped right on the

[07:06] bandwagon. Served it up to Jen Saki who

[07:08] is his guest to let her take a huge dump

[07:11] all over the Trump administration and

[07:12] the border patrol. But that's the

[07:14] rescue. That's the savior of CB CBS

[07:17] evening news. Count me a skeptic. Tucker

[07:20] people aren't interested. They're not

[07:22] interested in network news. They're

[07:23] really not interested in Evening Network

[07:24] News and they're really not interested

[07:26] in CBS Evening Network News. It will

[07:29] fail as will the entire network.

[07:31] >> Boy, uh, but Barry, I mean, Barry makes

[07:34] me respect her a little bit. She's

[07:35] obviously a good talker that she

[07:37] convinced the Ellisons that CBS News was

[07:39] like

[07:39] >> totally

[07:40] >> the way to control American public

[07:42] opinion. It's kind of uh it's it's

[07:44] hilarious. So, when we started this

[07:45] company, we promised that we would only

[07:47] partner with other companies that share

[07:49] our values. We didn't want to advertise

[07:51] products made by people who hate us or

[07:54] for that matter you. So with that in

[07:56] mind, it is a pleasure to announce that

[07:59] we're working with Charity Mobile. It is

[08:00] a pro-life phone company. Charity Mobile

[08:04] holds a view on abortion that almost

[08:05] every single major US company disagrees

[08:09] with. They think it's completely wrong.

[08:11] It is sad and celebrating it is one of

[08:15] the darkest things this country's ever

[08:16] done. We agree completely. So, when you

[08:19] switch your cell phone service to this

[08:21] American company, they'll donate a

[08:22] percentage of your monthly price plan to

[08:24] a pro-life, pro-f family charity that

[08:26] you choose. There's no better way to

[08:29] prove what their real values are than

[08:31] doing that. No one would do that unless

[08:34] they meant it. All their plans are under

[08:37] 50 bucks, and you can keep your existing

[08:38] number and your existing phone if it's

[08:40] compatible. Charity Mobile is a pro-life

[08:42] company serving pro-life customers and

[08:44] supporting pro-life causes, and has done

[08:46] it for more than 30 years. Visit
