‘F*cking Bullsh*t!’ Megyn Kelly Goes Off on Trump and Key Ally Over Gas Prices Amid Stunning Surge

YouTube and Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly slammed President Donald Trump on gas prices and the Iran War amid a stunning surge at the pump.

On Friday’s edition of Sirius XM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly — who has been a strong critic of the war — tore into key Trump ally Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) over remarks he made this week about the high gas prices being worth it:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: And you know what? And we’re not going to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran. The gas will go down as soon as the war is over, it will drop like a rock. There’s so much of it. It’s all over the place, sitting all over oceans of the world. And it’ll be, it’ll go down.

But what won’t happen is if Iran had a nuclear weapons and used it, then the whole world is a different place. I could have to pay a little bit more for gasoline. The gasoline, the oil, will go down rapidly as soon as the war is over.

SIRIUSXM HOST MEGYN KELLY: By the way, I just want to correct myself. That was yesterday. Today, they’ve already gone off another 10 cents to $4 and almost 40 cents a barrel. It’s 4.39 that the average gallon is costing. So there is President Trump saying that. Here’s Senator Rick Scott, a Republican, doubling down with Kaitlan Collins.

CNN’S KAITLAN COLLINS: When the people are unhappy about paying $1.24 more, what do you tell them about how long they’re going to be paying more for gas?

SENATOR RICK SCOTT: Well, you know Kaitlan, my background, I grew up in public housing, I watched my parents struggle for food, and struggle for jobs. So I think gas prices… I hate them going up. But here’s what’s fascinating. Democrats don’t care about high gas prices. They tried to cause it to make sure we all buy electric vehicles. Trump’s tried to get gas prices down. He did in his first term. He’s done it this term. But there’s a trade off right now. I want my family, your family, to be safe. And is there a cost right now? It’s terrible that we have higher gas prices, but the trade off is: we’re going to live in freedom and democracy. And we don’t have somebody that’s a lunatic that’s going to drop a nuclear weapon on us. I don’t know what the price tag is, but it’s worth it to me.

SIRIUSXM HOST MEGYN KELLY: Okay, I’m sorry, I just I’m taking this before I give it to you. That’s f*cking bullsh*t!

The intelligence community assessed that Iran was not anywhere near getting a nuclear bomb. That comes from President Trump’s intelligence community right before we launched this war.

President Trump himself said that we had obliterated the nuclear sites in June, which we believed and reported and congratulated him on. So this is just bullsh*t!

You can say Iran’s a bad actor. Iran has proxies who are doing bad things in the region. Iran has designs on hurting America. That’s all true.

But what he just said is a lie. It’s bullsh*t. It’s f*cking propaganda and it’s not gonna sell. People don’t believe it.

And that is why the president’s poll numbers on approval for this war continue to drop into the basement and approval of the war is in the basement as well. The latest poll just came out in two thirds of the American public are against it, two-thirds of the American public are against the war.

The gas prices Buck, I just, you tell me whether America’s gonna swallow “we just need to do it in order to prevent a nuclear weapon from dropping on our heads.”

Later in the show, Kelly took a hard shot at Trump, painting him as uncaring:

I believe he needs to be focused on America, the United States of America! And gas prices do matter! They may not matter if your last name is Trump.

But they matter to middle America who are obsessively if you look at these social media boards, checking the gas prices and trying to find the cheapest gas in their neighborhoods. That’s how most Americans live.
