Megyn Kelly Tried To Smear Ben Shapiro... It Backfired

Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, socialism, communism, the Democratic Party, Berlin, the mainstream media, Donald Trump — and the many people still pretending the obvious is not happening. In this episode, I explain why Megyn Kelly’s latest attack on Ben Shapiro is built on a straw man argument, why criticism is not the same as cancellation, and why so many people are rejecting this new version of her without needing a conspiracy theory to explain it. I also look at the Democrats’ growing problem with open socialism and communism, why the party’s silence tells you everything, and why history keeps proving that these ideologies always end in misery, poverty and destruction. And finally, Tucker Carlson returns with another moment that feels more like parody than serious commentary, the mainstream media somehow finds a way to blame the “extreme right” after an alleged ISIS-linked attack on LGBTQ protesters in Berlin, and I share why I think President Trump’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech missed the mark — even if he’ll be back with something better in about three seconds.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Welcome
to the Aaron mullin Chow. Great to have your company. Now.
I am loath to begin with her, but I have
to Megan Kelly. She has again embraced the straw man.
She's super fond of them. A little on the thin

(00:28):
side for me, I like my men a little more bulky,
but you know, each to their own. Her husband should
watch out. And for those who don't know what a
straw man argument is, google it. It's when you frame
the argument of your opponent in a dishonest way so
you can shut it down with this amazing rebuttal. The
issue is your opponent never actually felt the way you've

(00:52):
framed it. Ben Shapiro, she's trying to say, is some
kind of extremist who is attempting to rid the world
of anyone who opposes him or has a different perspective.
Of course, not the case at all, but watch.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's very sad to me, as somebody who's known Ben
forever and helped make Ben on he became a star
on my show, The Kelly File, I'm very sorry to
see this happen, and like there is absolutely no cause
to go run around policing the guests on somebody else's

(01:27):
show and trying to diminish somebody who is as interesting.
And I mean this complimentary benign as Piers Morgan Peers
is not a pernicious force. Piers is an interesting guy
who's got an interesting show. Maybe it's for you, maybe
it's not, it's up to you. I think he's really
interesting and I think his interviews are great. But now
we have to get rid of Piers Morgan. So obviously,

(01:49):
in Ben's view, Tucker had to go clearly, even though
he helped build Candice.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
She had to go.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Then I had to go, even though I've had a
fifteen year friendship with a guy publicly attack me same thing,
not even a text in advance, even though we had
had a text like literally four months or four weeks
earlier saying no matter what, who we're friends with because
he was mad I was friends with Tucker. Our friendship
means more to us than anything, and we won't do
anything to f it up. Next thing I know, I

(02:16):
get attacked by him on stage at turning point. Now
Peers Morgan like, how many people have to go?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Truly?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
How many people must be cold from the conservative movement
in order to make Ben happy. This is ridiculous, and
it's not just Ben, all right, there are others who
take his lead. Once he calls you an anti semi
or says you need to be kicked out of polite society,
there are a couple of others, not a huge amount.
I have to say Ben's numbers are very bad right now,

(02:41):
but he's got some influence with some crew. This is
so wrong, So good for Peers Morgan for fighting back.
I'm completely on teams team Peers, and I'm sorry to
see Ben going in this direction now.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
The reality of the situation is fa mo well boring,
but based in fact something we like to deal with
here on the Aaron Mullin Show. Shapiro is not trying
to remove anyone from anywhere. And keep in mind that
Tucker himself stated that I'm out when it comes to
the Republicans, Magar and Trump. Also, Ben's not trying to

(03:15):
cancel anyone. He is commentating, giving his take, debating, you know,
and there's also plenty more people who feel this way.
It's not just Ben Shapiro on one or two others.
Far more than Meghan Kelly would like to let on.
In fact, a huge number of people have complete disdain
for this new version of her that is completely at

(03:37):
odds with the past one. It's not a coordinated op.
It's people with brains who have determined that Megan has
lost hers. They always try and frame it as something sinister,
something planned or funded by Israel. It's not again, and

(04:00):
let me repeat, it's just smart people with brains who
understand how the world works. That's it speaking of. And
this is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
There are so many stupid people without brains who aren't
even bare minimum clever enough to hide it. In fact,

(04:21):
they go on mainstream TV Fox News to be exact
and expose themselves. Watch.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
So we're gonna put up on the screen a few
of the things that are part of your platform, and
I want to ask you just give me sort of
a true false on these. Abolish the Senate true okay,
replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Abolish ice, absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone
currently in the US illegally.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
As a long term plan. Yep.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely prisons at least end large part.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, again as part of a long term program.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah okay, so no presence government or public ownership of
most large corporations. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Absolutely. This is honestly the stuff of fantasy. And do
you want to know why she's not even trying to
hide it, because there are enough people out there who
actually want this, They're not ashamed of it. They clearly
have no understanding of what it actually means, and by

(05:36):
that that it always ends in death, destruction, poverty, and misery.
That there is nowhere in the world right now that
this form of socialism, communism, whatever the hell you want
to call it, where it works. Not one example they
can cite, because none of these people actually study history,

(06:00):
or understand economics or appreciate the very obvious fact that
it always ends in failure. Again, it's self destruction on
an epic scale. That they are not only embracing individually,
but trying to impose on all of us. The fact
that they are so open with what they want, yet

(06:23):
they still try and place it under this democratic hat,
and that the vast majority of mainstream Democrats are silent
in the face of it tells you everything you need
to know. Are you looking for entertainment? The whole family
can actually agree on. I know I was until I

(06:44):
found Ekel. That's ekkl dot com. The stars of Duck
Dynasty Willie and Corey Robertson and yes, I know my
Australian accent. Well, they teamed up with ekel ekkl dot
com to create a brand new, one of a kind
streaming platform built around faith and family. And they didn't

(07:05):
just lend their name to it, you know, as those
celebrity types often do. They actually helped build it from
the ground up. You get movies and series that you'll
actually want to watch with your kids, friends, and even
your neighbors. You get podcasts that make your commute just
that little bit more exciting. And every single day you
get daily devotionals, so quick snippets of prayer and scripture

(07:26):
to help you start your morning grounded, not scrambling. One platform,
multiple ways to feel good about how you are spending
your time and connecting with the community that shares your values.
It is amazing. You got to look into it. One platform,
one community, entertainment that fits how you live and what

(07:46):
you believe. The best part you get all of this
for only five dollars eighty three a month. Getting started
is easy. Just head to e double kl dot com,
echel dot com, sign up today and get ready to
be part of something better. Do it. It's the old
The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. Hey, Democrats,

(08:09):
these people are hijacking your once proud party and you
are laying down and surrendering. It's disgraceful. With the exception
of one or two fettermen, yes he is phenomenal. Who
else who else is not running cover for these misfits? Now,

(08:33):
old mate Tucker Carlson is back and he is focusing
ladies and gentlemen. I mean he's back to the serious stuff,
the stuff with grit, the stuff of substance apparently watch Oh.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
That that's real. Yeah. Well, I've had a ton of encounters,
bud encounters. Yeah, you know, I mean if I I mean,
even after that, there's there's been this after it's been

(09:09):
a long three weeks. And uh, I'll just say this.
I've talked to some of the most respected exorcists in
the country and I've been working with them and things

(09:35):
have happened and like really scary shit. And if that's
happening and that's real, which is more real than anything
I've ever experienced. Then the other it's definitely real too.

(09:56):
That's right, that's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Now, that honestly would not look out of place in
a parody. Seriously, like, how does this pass the pub
test in any way, shape or form. How does Tucker
look in the mirror at night and say, great job son,

(10:20):
another day of delivering for the people of America. Ah. Actually,
really good point eron. He's not saying that at all.
He's saying, great job son, another day of delivering for
the people of well, not even the people, let's be
more specific, another great day of delivering for the governments
of Russia and the terrorists of the Islamic Regium of Iran. Tick,

(10:44):
well played, comrade. Oh don't forget the guitaris. Ah. Anyway, Ah,
obviously we move on to another mainstream Well, this is
a current mainstream hack. Tucker is a former one. Look

(11:05):
at this report off the back and I've covered this
what happened to the l g B t Q protests
in Berlin. This was a mainstream media take. Afterwards, watch
community food station, not tally.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
It's not to get some.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's niche.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Community station, not tuly for owning from that's a hotel
often demonstrat but in interview Vid.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Herd seriously, the extreme right is the real threat. Yet
an ISIS terrorist just killed one of them and injured
others because he was behind the will of a car
that drove straight into them. Elin Musk was spot on.
There is a reason so much of the mainstream media
is hated. And this is another example of why no

(12:12):
wonder Islamic extremists and particularly in the West, are so
emboldened and so empowered. They are a protected species even
when they kill and are identified as the killer allegedly.
I mean, they're still running cover for them. We will
be the architects of our own demise, won't we. And

(12:35):
I want to finish with this point. I brought to you
elements of President Trump's speech at the White House correspondence dinner,
and I guess I just wanted to say, I haven't
seen many of you give your take on it, my
incredible audience, use this opportunity to let me know what
you think. Yeah, I wasn't a fan. I mean, I

(12:55):
thought the RFK junior part about killing the cow that
they were about to eat was really funny and really clever.
That was great, But the other parts of it. Again,
I just think it missed the mark. I don't think
it was like there were parts that were brutal, and
I know, like you know, people enjoyed the kind of
takedown of Caitlyn Collins. But I just I mean, I

(13:16):
think the president is so funny and can be so good,
and I just think whoever put this together for him
let him down. It certainly wasn't one of his best.
And again, I don't care about offending people really, particularly
people who will have earned the right because they dish
it all the time. But I just thought this one

(13:38):
missed the mark. It wasn't one of his best. Unfortunately.
I feel like every speech he does has to hit
the mark. Doesn't mean it has to be serious. It
can be funny, it can be clever, it can be sarcastic,
whatever you want. But this one to me just nah,
it missed unfortunately. But hey, he'll be back literally within

(13:58):
three seconds with something else, because he is the most
accessible president when it comes to the media in history.
Love you all. Bye,
