Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Dan Bongino, host of The Dan Bongino Show, to talk for the first time about his exit from Fox News, the way the media has changed, how the Fox News' audience is still punishing the network after Tucker Carlson's firing, behind-the-scenes details about working at Fox, the differences between cable news and the new media world, the challenges of interviewing, Dan's disdain for journalists and hatred of the left, Christiane Amanpour's embarrassing comments about journalism and Trump, his love of Gov. Ron DeSantis but why he's supporting Donald Trump in 2024, why Trump's deal-making is more important than his conservative background, the left's hypocrisy on "believe all women," media covering for serious health issues with Democratic Senators John Fetterman and Dianne Feinstein, whether Rep. George Santos should resign, the truth about what the Durham Report shows about the deep state and the FBI, his work as a Secret Service agent for Obama, his major health scare, getting his big break guest hosting for Sean Hannity, living the life he wants now, and more.
