Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for open, honest and provocative conversations.

0:07.0

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. Today we have got Carlos

0:17.2

Watson. He's the CEO and co-founder of Ozzy Media, which is just killing right now.

0:23.8

He was a former CNN MSNBC journalist who decided this is not how I want to live. This is

0:30.6

not how I think the news media world should be. And I'm just going to go out there and

0:34.8

do it differently. And boy, has he, he hosts the Carlos Watson show, which is a podcast

0:40.6

and on YouTube. He's also co-host with my pal, Caddy K of the BBC. She's sweet and fun.

0:45.7

And they do their own separate podcast together. But listen, this guy is really interesting.

1:34.6

it's possible to, to be in that place and to still be open-minded to other ideas, to

1:39.4

have beliefs like I definitely don't share when it comes to the cops and systemic racism

1:46.2

possibly in other issues, but to still be open-minded to discussion. And I think we are that

1:51.2

too, I think in a way our shows are similar. Anyway, you're gonna love him. We're gonna
