I also love the fact that Megyn doesn’t see herself as a victim after all the things that transpired after the debate.

[clairenovak]

One thing I’m grateful for from these past 5 insane years…is this version of Megyn that has emerged. She has always stood apart from her peers in her industry. But now she is one of the leaders of a cultural movement that our country and greater civilization very much needed. She is fearless, and we - women especially - are lucky to have her fighting for us! ❤️

[susannebrown]

Thank you for actually letting her talk and actually publishing this without commentary. I wish that some of those that call all Trump supporters terrible names would actually LISTEN, she explains so very well why so many of us voted the way we did.

FYI: I’m only watching PBS because of Megyn.

Megyn is such a rare person in media. Fair, honest, objective, compassionate, able to see both sides of things and articulate them in a way that makes you see Trump differently, better, but not sycophantically. Megyn is truly worth listening to and she’s a genuinely good decent person. Thanks for this interviw.

[randyrenner]

Loving this MK. She's probably my favorite person covering Trump. She's honest.

[DaveNitzel]

This is the most insightful explanation of Trump I've ever heard.

[NPTUNSOUL]

Megyn Kelly answered these questions with much CLASS!!!!

[robertlaguirremusic]

The great and very insightful Megyn Kelly explains the complexities of Trump personality better then anyone. Her ability to not be bitter from personal attacks and understand Trump & Bannon tactics speak volumes! Great interview!

[jessmacaulay]

Megan, I have never heard anyone sum up Trump so perfectly. I didn't know why I liked Trrump until I heard this. My Grandson will listen to this when I try to explain what it means to fight.
I've seen you grow Megan and I learned from you how to accept humility. As a white middle aged man I'm so blessed to learn from you. Thank you for your show.

This is the first time I’ve listened to PBS for Ten Years! Great job Megyn ❤🇺🇸😊

[mikesachse-isut]

I'm also "Only" watching PBS because of Megyn as well!

[ApacheD]

He’s the greatest comeback story in American history

[maryfranklin]

Who knew? I am actually watching Frontline again. Apparently, they have decided truth was the way to go.

[maryflorence]

God bless you Megan. The best Frontline I have ever seen. Telling it straight to PBS.

[SarahCrider-ke]

This is a refreshing interview coming from a PBS affiliated channel. They were also smart to ask Megyn. She’s the only reason I watched this.

[stephenlaw]

This is the most fascinating interview I've ever listened to about Trump

[UDPride]

Im a JNL grad with 30 years writing experience. Megyn's command of language is extraordinary. Her choice of certain adjectives and phraseology is on another level and communicates in a way that's both highly entertaining and enjoyable to listen to as a fellow wordsmith.

[grimenigma]

This is by far the best interview I have ever watched about Trump. Also, I realised I really, really, like Megynn Kelly. She is beautiful, intelligent, funny, thoughtful, and just a joy to listen to. She won a new fan here.

[AG-tjew]

She’s as good an interviewee as interviewer. Excellent analysis.
