'He'll Be Dead Soon': Megyn Kelly Rages At Ex-Boss Rupert Murdoch Over Iran War Stance

Former Fox News mainstay Megyn Kelly scorched her ex-boss, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and the pro-war faction of the Republican Party for “goading” President Donald Trump into conflict.

Murdoch will be long gone before Americans have to reckon with the fallout from the war, Kelly declared of her 95-year-old former employer during a heated segment on Tuesday’s episode of her YouTube show.

“He’ll be dead soon,” she said, citing Bloomberg News reports that the Australian news titan helped coax Trump into Iran.

Megyn Kelly slammed 95-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch, shown here last April, saying he'd be dead by the time the consequences of the Iran conflict come home to roost.

Earlier in the segment, Kelly had rolled a clip of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) encouraging Trump to follow through on his threat to deploy troops to Iran’s Kharg Island, a critical chokepoint for nearly all of the nation’s oil exports.

“Keep it up for a few more weeks,” Graham said before callously invoking one of the bloodiest moments in modern U.S. military history during a Sunday interview on Fox News. “We did Iwo Jima. We can do this. The Marines, my money is always on the Marines.”

Kelly was incensed by the comments, telling viewers, “Unbelievable. 6,821 U.S. service personnel died in the battle for Iwo Jima, 19,217 were wounded. How dare he speak about it so cavalierly?”

“How dare he?” she continued, noting that Graham has no children and is “not sending a young son or daughter into battle. Eff this guy.”

Calling the South Carolina Republican a “bloodthirsty lunatic,” Kelly applauded Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who had told the senator he was treating troops like “expendable cattle” while resharing the interview on X.

Kelly, shown here at a live show in Sugar Land, Texas, last October, railed against her former Fox News boss for influencing President Donald Trump's foray into Iran.

Murdoch, too, “is acting as if our troops are, quote, expendable cattle. You won’t have to live with the consequences of what [Trump’s] doing,” Kelly pointed out.

Telling her viewers that her perspective was hers alone, the former TV personality said, “There’s no agenda pushing me to say one thing or another, anything other than my own opinion. I don’t take any foreign money. I don’t take any money from the government. I don’t owe any favors to anybody in the Trump administration. Nothing. Nothing.”
