There we're going to have exclusive content for you, Q and A's with yours truly behind the scenes. You'll get to meet some of our producers and more. And beginning tomorrow, we will release the first episode of our MK tour documentary, giving you the untold story of what happened behind the scenes on our tour last year. This is again, this is not just about, Oh, we went on tour. We met a lot of great people, which we did, and that is in there, but there was a lot happening within the conservative movement at the time we did this tour. And we had all of the players right at the heart of it on camera, getting really candid with us about themselves, their relationships, their thoughts on the country and where this was going. And I'm there too, predicting and opining in ways that I mean, we'll see whether any of them turned out to be true. You tune in and find out for yourself. But it's not just about the tour. It's also about my life before and after the tour in some ways. And we are going to talk about a situation I've never talked about before. Something happened last year, right after Charlie died. You may remember that he and I were supposed to go on tour together because he was on tour. Of course, that stop at UVU was his first tour stop. We had actually been in discussions with his team about me possibly joining him at that stop. I mean, it was just so eerie. But ultimately, we settled on my going to, I think, the third stop on his tour, which was Virginia Tech. And we were set and booked to do that on the day he was killed. We were shocked to learn Turning Point was going to go through with the tour and also happy. But it was full of tension for those of us who did it. Michael Knowles did one in Minnesota, Glenn Beck did, I did, Tucker did, and so on. Of course, because the whole environment changed after Charlie was murdered. Everyone had to give thought to, do I appear in a public place? What if I've received death threats? Do I need to take them much more seriously now because one's been acted on? Just the whole time was very fraught. We had just announced, of course, that I was going to be doing this tour, and there was the question of whether we should. Our great producer, Jake Whitman, who does a beautiful job on these documentaries, he's the one who did the Megan with Love, Megan parody, and the Blonde Origin parody. He's very talented. He and we have been working on these four episodes for the better part of a year now. I really think you're going to find this very substantive and hopefully enriching and telling about the show, the guests who come on it, including my two guests today, and some of the other faces and names that you've come to know and love or hate, depending on your opinion, over the years. Here's a preview in this soundbite of that threat situation I was just telling you about that I have never spoken of publicly before. Protestors gathered outside of the venue. I got into the car to go to the plane, and Abby texted me saying, stand down, hold on before you come. And I was like, what happened? There was a threat that had been faxed that was really nasty, and it was very specific, which is scary, especially 10 days after a child was assassinated. I said, send it to me. And she said, MK, I don't think you should read it. You know, it's being handled. And I said something I've never said to Abby before. Don't make me ask twice. So I forwarded it along, and we hung up the phone. I start seeing a little bit of it, and I'm like, holy ----, it was faxed to Virginia Tech. We're due to leave in 45 minutes. This is serious. They know details. It's pretty descriptive. They kind of know the location, and it was kind of the same, the same threat that killed Charlie. Of course, I've been very outspoken on this. So you do have to worry. When we had the first indication that the killer was motivated by something related to Charlie's stance on a trans issue, the next day, I opened my show by saying, by the way. It'll be many of us on the right who will not be silenced and who will make it our mission now to continue saying all the things that you thought you silenced with that bullet. And guess what? You can't take us all out. We have to keep saying the truth. She called me back and said, I'm going. This isn't great, but this sounds like somebody who's trying to shut down the event. And the answer is no. We're going. Miss Megyn Kelly. And look, the first couple of minutes I was on stage, I did feel exposed. So much of you, so many of you were there with us in our various tour stops, and we so appreciated being able to meet you and Gladhan and actually put faces with, you know, my idea of who's watching the show and in some cases, names and backstories. And anyway, we would love to reconnect with you. So it's MK members only. You can sign up now. You just click join at the Megyn Kelly YouTube channel, or hopefully you're already a subscriber. And we're back now with Rich and Charlie from National Review, both of whom came with us on the tour and did a great job. And honestly, it was an act of courage for you guys to come to because it was a fraught time. You know, I think much closer to Charlie's death, everyone had to worry a bit about, is it safe? Is this a new normal now? You know, is our pundits now going to be routinely shot at or attacked or killed for having the wrong opinions? And it's also been like a fallacy since then, Rich, that it's both sides. You know, both sides have to worry about it. It's like, oh, come on. You know, yes, you could find an instance in history where and even the past 10 years where Democrats have been on the receiving end of the threat or killed. But the vast majority of the shooters who are out there are people who are motivated by these left-wing causes. We've seen that time and time again, whether it's a trans person, et cetera, or the people who murdered Luigi and Charlie as accused. And so it's just, you know, it's been a lot. I think the conservative movement's gone through a lot in the past 12 months in particular. Yeah, you said we'll find out whether some of your predictions came true that when we see the documentary. One of mine that thankfully didn't, I remember being on with you in that horrible day. One prediction I made is this is going to change everything and it's just going to have less debate, less public appearances. And there's more security, yes, but people are still out there. And I think that's heartening and a very good thing. And your reaction to that threat was exactly the right one. This is meant to shut us down and no, we're not going to be silenced. There's no way to shut us up. So I think that's fantastic. But the left has a deep ideological affiliation with revolutionary violence, or at least part of it does, going back to the French Revolution. And it shows up in polling, it shows up in statements. They don't want to admit it. The media won't admit it. But it's really built in a deep way into their DNA. It's such a strange contradiction, if you think about it, Charlie, that you've got this group of people who will gun down, not group of people, but from whom one or two emerge here and there every year, who will gun down children in a church of a Catholic school, who will gun down the UnitedHealthcare CEO and then be celebrated by their fellow leftists who will allegedly kill Charlie and then be celebrated by their fellow leftists and yet be so aligned with and crippled by safetyism in their day-to-day lives. You know, I've got 50,000 disorders and I can't go to work and I can't go to school and I can't handle anything and you can't give me that DWI certificate because I have generational trauma dating back five generations to somebody I've never met. You know, this is the same group of people. Well, it does sound odd, but I think at root is a difference in philosophy that does stem back to the French Revolution and Rich is right. You either, if you're a revolutionary, believe that everything needs to go or that everything needs to be restored. Those do seem to be the two models and the American Revolution was a little bit more complicated than everything needs to be restored, but it was a grateful revolution in that the founders were very much enamored with what they considered to be their birthright and various people within British history and the French revolutionaries weren't. They hated the king, they hated the social structures in France, and they even hated things like the clock and the calendar, which they tried to change because they thought they were irrational. Now, again, oversimplification, and of course, most people who disagree with me politically don't want to hurt anyone, but the sort of Luigi Mangione, you mentioned him, approach is a French revolutionary approach. He believed that the healthcare system was immoral, that it hurt people, and that it was less of a crime to kill and maim and tear it down than it would be to preserve it and perhaps change it more modestly. So yeah, they are obsessed with safetyism, but if things get in the way of safetyism, the first instinct of the sort of person who's going to behave like that is to kill those who are a threat to safetyism, which does sound a bit hard, but it does make sense once you get into their minds. Once again, of course, most people aren't like this. Unfortunately, the handful of people who are do at present seem to belong to the same movement. For the first time since World War II, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us. Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt. Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
