Megyn Kelly Outshoots Tucker Carlson 🤯

Kelly draws a humorous comparison between the adrenaline of shooting and cutting off politicians' mics during debates.
Summary
The transcript captures a shooting range session featuring Megyn Kelly receiving hands-on firearms instruction. The instructor begins by coaching Kelly on proper grip technique — positioning the webbing of the hand high on the grip, rolling the forward hand into a business-like handshake grip, neither over-squeezing nor limp-wristing. Kelly is then instructed to pull the trigger as slowly as possible to avoid flinching and sending rounds low, which she successfully does, hitting the first target dead center.
The session escalates to a 75-yard target challenge, which is framed as one that Tucker Carlson reportedly failed. Kelly makes a quick joke that Tucker's trust fund lifestyle explains his inability to handle the challenge, and she proceeds to take the shot. The results appear positive based on the enthusiastic reaction.
The second portion of the session moves to rifle shooting, specifically a 300 Blackout with a suppressor provided by Silencer Shop. Kelly reacts with excitement to the suppressed sound of the rifle, describing it as a 'beautiful sound.' The instructor then poses a playful question comparing the adrenaline of shooting steel targets to the experience of cutting politicians' mics off mid-debate — a nod to Kelly's moderating history. Kelly responds that both feel like 'playing with fire,' drawing an amusing parallel between her two worlds.
