"I'm not skeptical about Israel's ability to fight — not even a little," the journalist said on the Tuesday, June 24, episode of her eponymous podcast. "I'm skeptical about the prospects of a lasting ceasefire in the Middle East, that Israel will stand down, that Iran will stand down, that one of Iran's proxies will remain down."

While headed to NATO on Tuesday, June 24, Donald Trump seemed frustrated with both Iran and Israel: "These people don't know what the f*** they're doing," he said. Agreed Megyn Kelly, "That's the right attitude when it comes to Middle East matters."

Donald Trump campaigned on an "America First" agenda, but his base has criticized his most recent response to the conflict between Israel and Iran: "It's really not [our job to solve the problem]," Megyn Kelly said. "It is our job to protect American interests and the American people. And I think Trump … believes truly that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. They're too crazy. They're too jihadi. They're a little too keen on killing the Western infidels in order to trust that."

Megyn Kelly later shared that Israel's military can fight to defend itself, and she believes the nation "always responds." Said the conservative talking head, "What their military has done over the past couple of years has been spectacular. They're very, very competent at killing their enemies, that we've seen. … It's nonstop. It's nonstop violence in the Middle East."

Megyn Kelly concluded by noting that the general public doesn't have access to all the information available to Donald Trump: "Trump saw an opportunity, and he took it," she said. "So he did have data in front of him, and who knows what else we don't get to see what President Trump gets to see in terms of intel. So I trust him that he thought that it was a valid intelligence assessment that they were speeding up toward the nuclear bomb, and it makes sense to me. … I applaud him for trying."
