There just really isn't a lot of compromise.

So I just thought if I'm going to do this job this way,

I just have to 100% not care what anybody thinks,

but really not care what the left thinks.

But what I have in return is so much better

because I think that I feel gratitude

and the fact that I can represent so many people

who are voiceless in the mainstream media.

Yeah, thank you. I mean, I feel like excited and nervous. I'm a fan of your work, and we're friends

offline in real life too.

And I don't know, it's like a new season on the show when you're my first interview and I'm like anxious and excited at the same time.

It'll be fine. Also, I mean, people should know it's we have a kind of funny relationship because we started off like really at odds.

Yeah, you hated me. Right. I was not a fan.

By the way, my husband has, there's a tweet when we got engaged where someone had tweeted out. I had said something like, or like a publisher or someone that said like, you could win a date with Megan McCain and he wrote a tweet that said, do not want. And when we got engaged, all these people were retweeting it. And I was like, jokes on him. We got married.

He did want. So there was, because my husband's very conservative. And at the time, he was running a website called Red State. And I remember. I probably known your husband longer than you have, actually. Because he was my editor on one of my books, actually, one of my very early books. No one is more surprised by the man I ended up marrying than me. And I say that with like supreme love and respect.

I'm deeply in love and he's the best decision I ever made. But he's the most conservative man I ever met maybe until you. So. And when we went out the first time, I was like, this is a totally different vibe. And it's way better. I tell women, conservative men have better family values, and they take dating and family and

marriage more seriously. I mean, that is 100% true. And it's one of the things I always say to people who are dating. People date for a whole host of reasons that are other than values, and I'm always saying to people that is the biggest mistake. I think if you're serious, which I was when I met my husband about getting married and having kids and wanting to go to the next phase. I just found in my life, dating, finally dating a conservative man was the one. So, but he took it seriously. I mean, when we first went out, he was like, I don't want to, I want to get married. I want to have kids. Yeah, no, those are, and those are good dates. I mean, my first day with my wife, we had a three-hour conversation about free will determinism and how many kids we wanted. And three and a half months later, we were engaged and we've been married for 11 years. That's amazing. It worked out great. So we have to start with obviously the fact that you're on the view, which is the hardest job for a conservative in media. And I should know. I mean, I do a pretty rough job. I think your job's pretty hard. No, I mean, I talk a lot and I get clocked a lot, but I don't actually have to discuss politics with people who virulently disagree each and every day and be in the minority on a show where that happened. So how do you deal with the pressure number one of being the person who has to sort of carry the torch for, carry the flag for conservatism. And second of all, how do you deal with being in the minority on the show all the time? That's got to be a difficult dynamic. Well, I mean, there's like a lot of different ways about it. The first thing is that it's a privilege to because a lot of people don't know any Republicans or don't know any conservatives. So I'm the voice they hear when they're tuning into the view, whether they like it or not.

There's a diversity of opinion.
