The Megyn Kelly Show

And now he is making the media rounds because he's promoting a book, in which he makes clear Donald Trump is terrible, that he was aware of it. He was a witness to it, it did happen, and he believes there is tape of it, though doesn't know who has it or doesn't believe it'll actually ever come out.

And it's interesting, the timing of it all, they're going to be depicting a graphic rape scene in that movie of Trump raping his former wife who is now past, Ivana, in that movie.

The James and the Giant Peach, the weird ants, Ant Sponge and the other one... Feroldi. Yeah, thank you. Ant Spiker. They were terrifically fat and tremendously flabby. And the other one was thin and dry as a bone. That's all been removed.

It's called Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister.

I don't remember having so much fun reading a book.

But it opens with a mother watching her late teened son engage in a deadly altercation on the street. And he commits what looks like a murder.

She winds up at the police station with him. She's distraught. She doesn't understand at all how her otherwise well-behaved son has gotten to this point. And she can't bail him out.

And she unravels the mystery through these leaps backward in time about this particular circumstance and her life.

Former cold case investigator Paul Holes had been waiting for this day... He was integral in cracking the Golden State Killer case and documents his experience ... in a new book just out called Unmasked, My Life Solving America's Cold Cases.

And don't forget, I want our audience to go buy your book, support you in your retirement. You've earned it. The book is called Unmasked and it is absolutely riveting.

However, however, in Kristi Noem's defense, who do you want to be a governor of your state? Do you want someone who's really nice and sensitive and feeling or do you want some cold-blooded killer who takes cricket out to the gravel pit and puts cricket down like Old Yeller because he ate all the chickens?

I don't think there's anything wrong with humanely killing an animal on a farm could she have done something different could she have given it up for adoption could she have sent it to a farm upstate. Maybe right like the horse is suffering and he has to be put down everyone gets that she wouldn't be getting the blowback that she's getting now or the dog had bit 17 people was a mature dog. She tried to rehab and train it maybe then this dog was 14 months old and I'll tell you something we've been hearing from dog trainers all weekend since this broke and I'm going to get to the details of what she did but dog trainers are saying things like the following. This is a guy named Dan Lucen quoted in Rolling Stone professional hunting dog trainer saying a 14 month old dog is quote a baby that doesn't know any better to me it's a lack of guidance by the owner or training by the owner or discipline of the owner he says explaining that young bird hunting dogs in training often go through a slow process of introduction to dead foul before ever being around gunshots. There are a lot of steps he says that you take before you take it to a field and shoot birds over it hello that's obvious even to those of us that don't have traditional bird hunting dogs labs are meant to go retrieve the dead carcasses go ahead.

I think this this dog trainer has accidentally hit on the real point here which is even 20 30 40 years ago people probably wouldn't have thought this was a smart political story but they wouldn't have become so enraged as they are now and I think part of the reason why people are getting enraged over Kristi no taking her dog out back like Old Yeller even a little young dog 20 years ago is because we now view dogs as babies that's what that trainer said it's a little baby and today I'm not going to name which family member of mine it was I have a family member who purchased a dog he rescued a dog from a very expensive breeder in Texas flew a guardian down to pick up the little dog then they flew back to New Jersey then this relative of mine bought a stroller a nice expensive stroller to stroll the little dog around so that the little dog is unvaccinated paws wouldn't touch the nasty sidewalks of New York and New Jersey this is crazy and and you don't need to take my word for it the Holy Father Pope Francis has said we are living in a culture now that is mistaking animals especially puppies for children so as we have fewer and fewer children and not even through natural infertility but choosing their fewer children choosing not to get married we all of a sudden start to treat animals like their kids and look you're off you're wrong you're wrong this is not it at all this fine people I mean people have gone so far forget dogs they have monkeys now they call them kids they put them in diapers they dress yes there's a problem there but America loves its dogs they're not replacements for children nine times out of 10 they're in addition to the family that are messy and a hassle and difficult and awesome and you get them because it's fun to love them and have them love you and play with them and teach your children how to care for animals and all of that so this is this thing is stretched across party lines it's true Democrats and Republicans are outraged by her behavior because dogs tend to be extremely sweet and the fact that this puppy killed chickens which are below him or her cricket was a she on the the you know evolutionary scale right thanks thank you doesn't say anything about how aggressive it was and she talks about how cricket allegedly came for her as she tried to get it away from its meal the chicken and cricket snapped at her again many dogs that aren't aggressive would do that because they see it as their food it needs to be trained she goes on to say cricket.

Behaved like a quote trained assassin when no finally grabbed cricket she says and by the way another dumb ass move to bring your puppy by a chicken farm before you've trained it after you brought it out on a pheasant hunt thinking it would just know how to behave. Okay the dog quote whipped around to bite me right because you're trying to take food out of its mouth then as the chickens owner wept that's also a problem I don't know who's crying over their chickens okay but that's I guess you get attached to your chicken Emily Zanotti she would tell me so no I'm sorry I apologize. She wrote I'm only sympathetic to the cute animals I've told my audiences before she she wrote the shocked family a check okay that was the right thing for Christine Ohm to do for the price they asked and then help them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime through it all Noam says cricket was the picture of pure joy then she adds I hated that dog adding that cricket had proved herself untrainable dangerous to anyone she came in contact with and less than worthless as a hunting dog at that moment I realized I had to put her down quote unquote Noam then led cricket to a gravel pit quote it was not a pleasant job but it had to be done and after it was over I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done the guardian incredibly gnomes tale of slaughter is not finished her family she writes also on the male goat that was nasty and mean because it had not been castrated furthermore the goat smelled disgusting musky rancid and love to chase noam's children knocking them down and ruining what their safety their well be know their clothes getting their clothes dirty Michael Noam decided to kill that guy too the same wish just killed cricket the dog though she dragged him to the gravel pit the goat jumped out as she shot and therefore survived the wound noam went back to her truck retrieved another shell then hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down as well at that point she writes she realized a construction crew had watched her kill both animals the startled workers swiftly got back to work she writes only for a school bus to arrive and drop off noam's children Kennedy her child looked around confused this is her daughter and asked where's cricket crickets dead shot in the face by mommy Kennedy who's now bragging about it in a book there's no coming back from this she tried this morning Dan I'm reading that guy Dan Lassen Michael to do like a corrective tweet you know something to like stem the bleeding saying I can understand why some people are upset about a 20 year old story of cricket one of the working dogs at our ranch in my upcoming book the book is filled with many honest stories in my life good and bad days challenges painful decisions and lessons blah blah blah blah the ratio on this you know meaning people who comment who people who liked it 17000 people have commented so far 26000 the the earlier two tweets wishing happy birthday to Melania Trump completely ratioed as well 9000 liked it yes 7000 and climbing on the dislikes and the comments and then she tried we love animals but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm sadly we just had to put down three horses blah blah blah harsh ratio on that one two America's not having it 6000 likes 22000 comments this is honestly this is political malpractice and she's managed to piss off 98% of all dog and pet lovers in America it will be studied for generations to come in polycycline classes as a really dumb move there's no question my last defense though of governor noem as you read that tale

I just want to say your your best Michael he has a couple of times compared this to shooting old Geller but all Deller was bitten by a rabid wolf there's a big difference between shooting a puppy in the face.

former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, author of "Never Give an Inch", joins to discuss his revelations about Nikki Haley and John Bolton, how to properly handle classified information, how the Trump administration understood the need for a secure border, the proper way to handle the China threat, the successful North Korea negotiations, 2024 presidential politics, and more.

Topics he discusses in great detail in his new book, Never Give an Inch, Fighting for the America I Love.

It's available right now. Thanks for listening to The Megan Kelly Show.

He's got a whole book about it.

His brand new book, Justice Corrupted How the Left Weaponized Our Legal System is out tomorrow.

Congratulations to the president. That's his thing. I think that's fascinating. Considered considering his black dad was nowhere to be found, but as white mom and grandma raised him, but Hey, you do you, I'm going to do me.

Republican Rescue, saving the party from truth deniers, conspiracy theorists and the dangerous policies of Joe Biden.

If we're going to be believed on all that stuff, we've got to abandon this stuff, Megan.

And when the party is talking about yesterday and vendettas and conspiracy theories denying the truth, it does not attract to voters.

What's attractive to voters are what are you going to do different than the people who are there now? And why is your way better?

And I think with the Joy Reads of the world, we just have to make sure that we continue to talk about what the reality is, lay it next to what she spews every night on television.

So I love the fact that The Crucible is taught at the end where the people who speak out against the establishment and speak for truth are burnt at the stake. Hello?

There's a great book I can't recommend highly enough by our friend Gustavo Arellano called Taco USA.

It's a, you know, it, it posits that the, uh, that the taco has replaced, uh, the hamburger as the quintessential American food.

Um, because it's actually not all that popular necessarily everywhere in Mexico itself.

It's become this sort of mongrelized thing as all great American foods are.

It sort of takes a foreign thing and makes it its own. Um, and that's part of why it's great.

I think that Lawrence Wright uh when he titled his book Going Clear Scientology in the Prison of Belief was so prescient that the prison is a mind prison and you don't need walls and barbed wire to keep people in a mind prison

He wrote a book called Willpower, right?

OK, we read Molly Hemingway's book 'Rigged' in 2020. What are they going to do this time?

Trump is going to be releasing a book on April 25th titled Letters to Trump. It's going to cost ninety nine dollars, which is a lot. Or if you pay three hundred and ninety nine, you could have a signed edition.

It's going to reveal 150 letters that celebrities have sent him over the years, including Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin.

I followed up with my book Win Bigly that trained an army of citizens how to be more persuasive, which they correctly saw as a minor superpower.
