The Michael Jackson Evidence Megyn Kelly Says the New Biopic Ignores
Prompted by the billion-dollar "Michael" biopic that stops the story in 1987, Megyn Kelly lays out the physical evidence from the 1993 police raid on Jackson's home, including NAMBLA books with his handwriting and a minor's fingerprints on a porn magazine, plus the pattern of settlements and grifter-parent dynamics that muddied the criminal cases against him.
- The 1993 raid found two NAMBLA books in a locked box in Jackson's bedroom with his own handwriting inside, plus a hustler magazine with a minor's fingerprints on it.
- The family took a $20 million settlement in 1993 and refused to cooperate with police; a second accuser's mother was undermined on the stand in the 2005 trial that ended in acquittal.
- Multiple accusers, including two from the 2019 documentary "Leaving Neverland," later filed civil suits years after previously denying abuse under oath.
“There's no one who's not a pedophile who has that.”
“at least 200 million had been paid out by him to keep people quiet.”

How the Israel Lobby Spent $30 Million to Defeat Thomas Massie
Megyn breaks down the unusually large sum, roughly 60x a typical race's spending, that AIPAC-aligned groups poured into defeating Congressman Thomas Massie, and argues the loss was really about Massie crossing Trump on Epstein disclosure and refusing to back unpaid spending, not just his Israel positions.
- Normal House primary spending against an incumbent runs around $500,000; this race saw $30 million from the Israel lobby.
- Massie's real offenses, per Megyn, were opposing the "one big beautiful bill" and Trump's Epstein-related pressure, not just Israel skepticism.
- She argues Massie was actually holding Trump to his own promised Epstein disclosure agenda.
“this one was $30 million piled against him by the Israel lobby.”

The Full Breakdown of US Military and Financial Aid to Israel
With help from an AI-generated list, Megyn runs through the specific dollar figures behind US support for Israel, including annual military aid, the missile-defense memorandum, post-October 7th emergency packages, and total aid since 1948, contrasting it with the benefits Israeli citizens receive that Americans don't.
- Annual military aid is $3.8 billion; a 10-year MOU under Obama includes $33 billion in financing plus $5 billion for missile defense (Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 2/3, Iron Beam).
- Post-October 7th emergency packages totaled $16.3 billion over two years; total aid since 1948 is roughly $300 billion.
- She contrasts this with Israel's universal healthcare, subsidized education, and child allowances that the US taxpayers funding it don't receive themselves.
“Total aid since 1948, 300 billion.”
“They get universal health care, free education, subsidized universities... We don't get half this stuff.”

How Ibogaine Is Healing Veterans' Brain Injuries and Curing Addiction
Megyn explains the psychedelic-therapy landscape: psilocybin research out of Johns Hopkins, MDMA as a relational "empathy drug" she uses in couples therapy, and ibogaine's dramatic effect on veterans with blast-related traumatic brain injuries, including brain scans showing damaged regions light up again after treatment.
- A Stanford study found veterans with blast-related black spots (no brain function) on scans showed the brain "lit up" again just two days after ibogaine treatment.
- Ibogaine reportedly cures addiction to opiates and alcohol almost immediately by replenishing brain receptors, though it doesn't work on benzos.
- Megyn does MDMA couples therapy roughly quarterly; a psychedelics specialist warned her psilocybin can trigger a permanent psychotic break in people with an undiagnosed family history of schizophrenia.
“it is curing addiction immediately... it replenishes the receptors in your brain so you don't have the cravings anymore.”
“you can trip like your schizophrenia... and never come back”

Megyn Kelly's Case for a 'Made by Human' Movement Against AI
Megyn lays out why she thinks AI will gut white-collar employment faster than people realize, citing bank executives warning AI can do the work of thousands of employees, and proposes a coming cultural split where consumers deliberately choose human-made goods, services, and journalism the way some choose "Made in the USA."
- She says the first several years of her own legal career, case research and document review, are now fully automatable.
- Bank executives are reportedly warning AI can replace the work of 2,000 employees, with layoffs projected to exceed a million by year's end per one source she cites.
- She predicts a "modern day Amish"-style human-preference movement and eventual laws requiring AI content to be labeled, arguing true reporting (source-building, human trust) can't be automated.
“we are at the beginning of something far more profound than the industrial revolution.”
“it's going to be like buy American, it's going to be like buy human.”

Megyn Kelly's List of Trump-Family Conflicts of Interest
Megyn runs through a list of what she sees as self-serving moves by the Trump administration, from a multi-billion-dollar malicious-prosecution settlement fund controlled by his own attorney to a defense-drone contract awarded to a company with family ties, arguing the pattern undercuts his populist branding.
- Trump secured a settlement fund, reportedly around $1.8 billion, for people "maliciously prosecuted," overseen by a board handpicked by his own attorney with no set payout criteria or Congressional approval.
- He arranged that neither he nor his family can be audited by the IRS.
- Family-linked interests include a drone company with a Pentagon contract and unclear parties benefiting from oil-market shorting tied to war news.
“it looks like a massive slush fund for Trump friends and family or anybody who just happens to come up with a claim.”

Is the US Actually Preparing to Invade Cuba?
Megyn walks through the timeline that has Polymarket pricing a near coin-flip chance of a US strike on Cuba by end of 2026, the oil cutoff after capturing Maduro, blackouts, and military assets moving into the region, while criticizing the administration for never stating an actual objective.
- Polymarket had roughly 49% odds, on $3M+ volume, of a US strike on Cuba by December 31, 2026, after the US cut off Cuba's Venezuelan oil supply.
- Cuba has reportedly faced up to 23 hours a day without power since the cutoff, but the regime hasn't collapsed.
- Megyn draws a direct parallel to the Iran war's lack of a stated endgame, warning the US risks repeating the same mistake without a post-invasion plan.
“we're going to run Cuba. Like, how's that going to go? Who's going to run it?”
“There was no long-term plan on Iran. And I don't believe there's a long-term plan on Cuba.”
