Megyn Kelly discusses Elon Musk's candid remarks at the DealBook Summit, where he criticized advertisers who succumb to pressure from organizations like Media Matters. Musk's comments included a strong rejection of advertising boycotts, asserting that if his company, X, fails due to such actions, it will be clear who is responsible. Kelly highlights the significance of Musk's commitment to open discourse, viewing him as a hero for standing against censorship.
The conversation shifts to the Daily Wire's efforts to fill the entertainment void left by companies like Disney, which Kelly claims has abandoned family values. Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, discusses their new comedy movie "Lady Ballers," which aims to provide non-woke entertainment. He emphasizes the importance of creating content that aligns with traditional values, particularly for children, through their new brand, Bent Key.
Kelly and Boreing also touch on the broader cultural implications of the current entertainment landscape, criticizing Disney for its perceived betrayal of its legacy. Boreing expresses hope that the Daily Wire can offer a trustworthy alternative for families seeking quality entertainment without ideological indoctrination.
The discussion then moves to the political landscape, with Kelly and Boreing commenting on President Biden's recent gaffes and the implications of age in leadership. They express concern over Biden's mental acuity and the potential consequences of having an elderly president.
Kelly highlights the rise of anti-Semitism in the U.S., particularly in the context of the Israel-Hamas conflict, and criticizes organizations like UN Women for their silence on atrocities committed against women during the conflict. Boreing and Kelly agree that the current cultural climate is increasingly hostile to traditional values and women's rights.
Finally, they discuss the absurdity of modern cultural phenomena, such as the backlash against a young Chiefs fan for wearing a half-black, half-red face paint, and the revelations about the Golden Bachelor, which expose the show's fabricated nature. They conclude by reflecting on the importance of authenticity and the need for a cultural shift back to reality and traditional values.
