Janice Dean and Adam Carolla on Monica Lewinsky | The Megyn Kelly Show

[Music] let's talk about monica lewinsky while we're talking about inappropriate behavior the press on monica lewinsky has done a full 180 and they're now she's getting the ryan murphy treatment out of hollywood he's the guy who did the people versus o.j simpson which was amazing that series and then he did another one and now he's taking on the monica lewinsky thing with bill clinton through the eyes of the women and so we're going to see linda tripp and monica and i guess janet reno i don't know who else is going to be involved um but you tell me whether because you know monica lewinsky basically you listen to her today jd and it's all about you know she was sort of the first metoo victim and the press killed her fox news killed her dredge killed her and i got to be honest that's about all i've heard monica lewinsky talk about for the past 20 plus years i think that's she's sort of stuck in that place i don't know whether this is a good thing for her or not but what do you make of the way that story is being coveraged in the wake of the covered now in the wake of me too have you seen the first episode of of uh impeachment no so i did watch it i mean listen i remember when that was all happening i mean the drudge report obviously was was where you got the information uh with the scandal listen it made drudge it did and going through that you know during that time we were all transfixed on this story about an intern and the most powerful leader in the free world bill clinton and i recently watched an interview that she did as a young woman still in her mid-20s uh and and she you know was so well spoken for that you know time of her life i remember being in my mid-20s i didn't know what was going on you know to be in that kind of position of being an intern at the white house that's quite incredible he's a predator there there's no question uh and there were many women besides monica lewinsky so i have a soft spot for her and i only wish her the best because she was put in this situation which was quite impossible and she you know said that she was in love with him well you know being that impressionable woman in the white house with this powerful man uh you know it's hard not to be affected by that and so i watched the first episode and all i got from that was he is disgusting and the fact that i saw him at ground zero with obama and president biden he's still getting a pass today and he is the original predator uh and and the most powerful predator that we've really ever had in this country now you give yourself too hard a time when you talk about the 25 year old you because you and i both know you were out there you were was that before or after you were a dog catcher yeah giving out tickets it's a very fun history go back go back and listen to my very first long form interview with jd was amazing adam what do you make of it monica lewinsky through the new the post me too lens well i mean obviously it's always tough because clinton is such an icon of the democratic party and yet you know what he did arguably is a thousand times worse than cuomo yeah i mean if you really just break down the actions it you know it's important that we sort of separate the al frankens from the harvey weinsteins or even the clintons from the cuomos or bill cosby from the cuomos you know the big problem with the times up in the me too movement is to take everyone and throw them in the same hamper you know we'll put them all in the same together i don't care if you're al franken and you're playing a joke on a uso tour or your bill clinton who did what bill clinton did you're all in the same hamper this is part of the problem with the zero tolerance committee you know personality tolerance for everything so if you comment on a woman's appearance or you pat her on the behind you're in the same boat that clinton was and what he did in the oval office it's a it's a big mistake i you know you could never prosecute a case this way this isn't the way our system is set up so you know fundamentally we have a problem in not being able to parse out and sort of nuance what are sort of jaywalking tickets versus murder one and what bill clinton did was murder one it also shows he has an addiction i mean it shows he has a problem because there are plenty of guys and there are plenty of historically plenty of cases where older guys like younger women i think we can all sign off on that premise and where guys in power abuse their power but here he is the president of the united states and he couldn't keep it under control for a very short period of time you know he literally couldn't you know it'd be like saying uh you know are you an alcoholic well i like to drink yeah but are you an alcoholic well having a few beers when you're watching football doesn't make you an alcoholic but if you have to fly a commercial jet airliner and you drink that day then you are an alcoholic and what we were saying to him is you gotta fly for the next four years or eight years can you stay off the stuff while you're in this incredibly important position and the answer was no so by definition he has an addiction well it's like because we're not just talking about monica lewinsky when we talk about bill clinton as the original me tour i mean sadly not the original you could go way back there's a lot of them but um you know there's juanita broderick there's kathleen willy you could go down the list jd because you know paula jones allegations of rape sexual assault and so on uh i mean very severe and criminal that and he paid a lot of women off to make them go away with the help of his wife hillary clinton and a whole band of brothers i mean the truth is george stephanopoulos was one of them and george stephanopoulos is hosting morning tv right now despite the fact that he put together the clinton war room that was dedicated to tearing down every single one of those women and i really wonder whether these me too advocates are one day gonna turn to george stephanopoulos and say where's your apology where's your accountability right it's not just about him but he's somebody who's completely escaped the questioning that came in the wake of that movement
