What? I'm

not kidding.

Now, when I say 11 days, Blazing Sun had already been written.

What was another one that had already been written? Well, let me look at it.

My Baby Girl had already been written.

Yeah, those two had already been written, the lyrics.

Everything else, we wrote, we were nonstop on the phone.

Oh, yeah.

So

now we had this song.

Shooter said, you know, this is a beautiful song.

Like, do we want to give it to somebody else? And I said, well, it's the Oak Ridge Boys.

He goes, yeah, but, you know, they'll understand.

They're very understanding about it.

And it ends up being the lead song.

He said,

So now

we had this song, and Shooter said, you know, this is a beautiful song.

Like, do we want to give it to somebody else? And I said, well, it's the Oak Ridge Boys.

He goes, yeah, but, you know, they'll understand.

They're very understanding about it.

And it ends up being the lead song.

And the bookend is Hearts of Men.

And it really sounds like you were making a movie without a camera.

He also indicated that Jane Doe, quote, "got up out of the bed and started doing, like, a bodybuilder pose while blank," men, I guess, "were, were in the room with her." I'm sorry, James, but somebody online was tweeting out, "This, this will be the only gang rape in history that was paused by the victim so she could get up and do bodybuilding poses, only to then let the gang rape continue." I mean, the absurdity of it is laid bare by that moment, which was well into the evening.

Okay, so let me say this, and, and you...

And I am not dodging it by saying this.

A- after the Lindsay Clancy trial and w- the behavior of her lawyer, I've come to the conclusion that you really have to wait till these things are fully adjudicated in a court of law, and you have to make sure that the court of law is going to be fair and unbiased.

We've already got a situation which I think is more important and relevant to this case, which is that Letitia James, a notorious political activist, has now been appointed the special prosecutor.

Already somebody is going to get a raw deal in this situation.

Because let's just say, I'm gonna give you a hypothetical.

We can use it.

You mean he may be vulnerable to prosecution?

Uh, I, I don't think so because I think it was pretty much adjudicated in Cincinnati that these were clearly not, you know, obscene pictures, but you still have underage children and you do see their genitalia in, uh, you know, their parents were there at the time.

Robert Mapplethorpe was a friend of the family, happened to shoot it, and Jesse McBride was just a little naked boy standing on a chair, et cetera.

But there was a great deal of contention that, you know, he didn't have a choice to have his picture taken and has always said it never bothered him.

But, you know, one could argue, what if a child in retrospect as an adult says, "Well, I wish somebody hadn't taken my picture," you know, uh, "when I was eight years old," or 10 years old or whatever.

So, uh, and I have to say, I by and large personally am so offended by most of these pictures, so I kind of wanted to do the, do the film because I, I am as a, obviously as an entertainer and as a citizen, you know, such a defender of the First Amendment and so abhor the idea of censorship.

But I must say my patience with, uh, certain artists was tried to the limit with this particular film.

Yeah.

yeah.

I said, you know, what should we call the album? He said, well, you know, it's autobiographical.

So I said, it is? He said, are you joking? I said, no, what do you mean? He said, this whole album is like your own life story.

It's why I'm so fascinated by it.

Because I always loved you as an actor, but all these stories, Cafe Central, you know, everything, the way it comes out.

I said, I didn't even realize it.

I was just writing from the heart.

know I would.

Hmm.

Oh, and by the way, and by the way, he's Black.

Who cares that he's Black? He's just one of the greatest film actors that ever lived.

That's why.

And look, there are so many great actors.

Uh, uh, look, I, I, I understood when they were trying to fix racism in this country years ago, I understood, you know, giving people an extra, an extra leg up, uh, so that we all had an equal opportunity.

I think it was very important.

Were you talking about Charlie Kirk there?

Mm-hmm.

It was like, "Uh, okay.

And w-what is your thought about this?" And I told her how it just made me feel, uh, just what I loved about it, that I'd done all these plays at Harvard and MIT in the summer stock, and I just loved doing it.

And I didn't love sitting, learning differential equations.

I was bored shitless and, and so on.

And she said, "Listen, when I was 19, I married your father, but see, you're too young." She said, "It was the greatest decision I ever made in my life, the most remarkable man.

He gave me two beautiful sons.

[upbeat music] Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM channel 111 every weekday at noon East.

[upbeat music] Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

There is big drama in the world of David Beckham.

I mean, I don't think we've ever begun a show that way, but boy, there really is.

Uh, and Michelle Obama is disappointed in us yet again.

[chuckles]

Yeah, I got this all

figured out.

And so we get through school and then, you know, like, She goes away to like a Christian summer camp or something, comes back when she's 16.

It's like olive oil leaves and Jessica Rabbit comes back.

And I literally go, hi.

She says, don't even say it.

Don't think.

but, you know, look, again, it's a parenthetical, certainly, i.e., obvious, ergo, clearly.

I do.

... and you get it the next day and so on.

I said, "I wonder if they'll ever go out of business?" And he said, "Oh, no, they'll be there...

People are, you know, not gonna..." Y- I, I, I think that there is always gonna be film.

And, you know, there are a few aficionados that like it.

Boom, they were gone in six months.

If you have to pay an actor $70 million and have to deal with his agent and his entourage and his makeup, all this stuff, and you can have a computer-generated character...

Right.

Did I overstate Gavin Newsom's competence or understate it?

Well, I, I, I think you have to, you have to frame it in the situation that the Democratic Party finds itself in these days.

They have no leader.

I mean, the, I mean, the, the, the, uh, Kamala Harris, AOC, all these people, uh, they're, uh, they're... uh, I hate to use the expression because it's used so often, but they're a clown show.

And nature abhors a vacuum.

So as what happened with Howard Dean, this slick grifter, Gavin Newsom, whose record is atrocious, but people don't pay a lot of attention to the fact, he's, uh, filling in the slot basically, but as fruit farmers always say, "Early ripe, early rotten." And this guy will make a lot of noise right now and his polls will go up and we've, you know, seen the polls.

Donald Trump had a, you know, 8% chance of winning in 2016 and wiped the floor with Hillary Clinton who was a shoo-in.

Yeah.
