SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly said Monday during a podcast with former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor Shawn Ryan that Americans are “living in the end times” of corporate media, predicting its potential demise.

Republicans have called out the corporate media’s coverage of the Biden-Harris administration and for downplaying concerns about President Joe Biden’s mental health. Appearing on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” Kelly stated that the media lies about Republicans before Ryan asked if the end is near for mainstream media.

“Yes, we’re living in the end times for corporate media I guess we’ll call it? I don’t — they’re not mainstream. Is it mainstream to go out there every day and say that guys should be allowed to punch women in the face at the Olympics and pretend they’re women? That’s not mainstream,” Kelly said. “Seventy percent, more really, but 70% of the Americans polled say they don’t want it. They don’t want men in women’s sports or boys in girl sports. That’s not mainstream. You and I are the mainstream, they’re not. Is it mainstream to say open the borders and give amnesty to them all?”

“I hate that term because it’s a misnomer. But yes we’re living through the end times for them. Which is a glorious thing, we should be celebrating that. That’s one of the few great things we have to think about right now in public life. That and the Supreme Court are the two things I wrap myself in like a blanket when I go to bed at night,” Kelly said.

Ryan then pressed the SiriusXM host on what she believes will be the “nail in the coffin” for corporate media. Kelly responded that it would be if former President Donald Trump wins a second term this November.

“They’ll do the same thing they did the first time,” she said. “Everything will be negative, he will be the devil incarnate. They will find their oppositional media roots again, which they totally forgot during the Biden years.”

“Hello, we have a whole White House Press corp that didn’t figure out he was being visited regularly by a Parkinson’s doctor. You think they’d missed that with Trump? In fairness to them, Trump didn’t put out his logs. But my point is they had no interest in finding out anything bad about Joe Biden. So I do think they’ll just drive more people away but they’re already dying,” Kelly said.

Democratic lawmakers and pundits began to question Biden’s mental fitness after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump in late June, with the president struggling to finish his arguments, at once point, and froze mid-statement.

Kelly’s viewership in July soared past legacy media outlets, reaching 2.3 million subscribers and 116.8 million views, according to Semafor. In comparison, NBC News had 78 million views, CBS News 83 million views  and BBC News 72 million views, the outlet reported.

‘Strange Confluence Of Variables’: Mike Benz Wants Transparency Task Force To Investigate What Happened in Butler, PA

Former State Department official Mike Benz raised serious concerns on Fox News Monday about the events surrounding the shooting in Butler, Pa., asking whether federal law enforcement played a more significant role than originally reported.

It’s been a year since the shooting of President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, and while investigations have shed light on the incident, several critical questions remain unanswered. During an appearance on “The Will Cain Show,” Benz said he believes the lack of transparency in the case has led to many critical questions remaining unanswered.

“So the question is, if Crooks was cultivated or if he was being monitored or potentially interacted with by federal law enforcement agents who put him onto that? And I think that the total lack of transparency, it’s sort of defying the laws of surveillance state physics,” Benz said. “I think most people believe that if federal law enforcement were to get ahold of their phone, that pretty much everything could be scraped from it. You don’t know if, for example, in this case, he was communicating with a foreign government.”

Benz then raised concerns that the investigation into the Butler shooting could extend beyond the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), suggesting that agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA) might be involved in cracking encrypted communications.

WATCH:

“This, to me, may go beyond, you know, FBI, DHS. We know that the NSA is able to crack these sorts of things. And so it’s all very strange to me,” Benz said. “But, again, there’s another whistleblower report that I believe Josh Hawley’s whistleblower mentioned, which was that HSI [Homeland Security Investigation] agents kind of mysteriously replaced a fair number of Secret Service agents that day because Secret Service was said to be split between the NATO summit and Jill Biden being away.”

Benz referred to what he called a troubling series of events leading up to the Butler shooting.

“And that Secret Service had denied, I think, about 10 requests for additional security from the Trump campaign prior to the shooting. And so it is just a strange confluence of variables that just do not sit well for the American public,” Benz said. “And I think that there should be a sort of transparency task force so that these specific questions about HSI and the potential recruiting as an informant about the contents of the phone and the like can be answered.”

A report released Sept. 2024 uncovered whistleblower allegations about the Secret Service’s security failures during the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler. The office of Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri published the whistleblower report and revealed previously undisclosed claims about the DHS and Secret Service committing multiple failures.

Whistleblowers allege that the agent in charge of the Butler rally failed a key examination during federal training and was considered “low-caliber.” The report also said that the Secret Service’s intelligence units were absent from the rally, which contributed to communication failures between law enforcement agencies.

Senior U.S. Secret Service officials were aware of a “classified threat” to Trump’s life 10 days before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt but failed to inform the agents protecting him. A report from the Government Accountability Office said Sunday that the intelligence, presented to Secret Service leadership, never reached the field team due to a “siloed practice for sharing classified information.”

‘We’re Going To Lose’: Steve Bannon Warns Withholding Epstein Files Would Doom GOP

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon warned on Friday that Republicans would suffer major losses if President Donald Trump’s administration does not move to release documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and associations.

Axios reported on Sunday that a two-page memo showed the Department Of Justice (DOJ) and FBI found no evidence Epstein kept a “client list” or was murdered, but public doubts have continued. Bannon said on “Bannon’s War Room” that failure to release information would lead to the dissipation of one-tenth of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and significant losses for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

“It’s not about just a pedophile ring and all that, it’s about who governs us, right? And that’s why it’s not going to go away … For this to go away, you’re going to lose 10% of the MAGA movement,” Bannon said. “If we lose 10% of the MAGA movement right now, we’re going to lose 40 seats in ’26, we’re going to lose the [presidency]. They don’t even have to steal it, which they’re going to try to do in ’28, because they’re going to sit there and they go, ‘They’ve disheartened the hardest-core populist nationalists’ — that’s always been who governs us.”

Bannon also demanded the publication of all the Epstein documents on “Bannon’s War Room” Thursday. He called on the DOJ to go to court and push for the release of the documents or for Trump to appoint a special counsel to manage the publication.

Epstein was arrested in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking. Shortly after, he was found dead in his New York Metropolitan Correctional Center cell shortly after. Officials asserted that he hanged himself in his cell.

However, Epstein’s death has sparked years of theories because of the malfunctioning of prison cameras, along with guards admitting to falsifying documents about checking on the then-inmate. The DOJ inspector general later confirmed that multiple surveillance cameras outside of his cell were inoperable, while others captured the common area outside his door.

Both Bannon and Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson have speculated that Epstein had connections to intelligence agencies.

Former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta allegedly indicated that Epstein was tied to intelligence, according to Vicky Ward in The Daily Beast.
