Top-rated conservative journalist Megyn Kelly forced “Real Time” host Bill Maher to abandon his own argument during a discussion on the border crisis. She later managed to win over the hob host’s left-wing audience with a thorough description of gender ideology and the reality of sex change operations for minors.
After Kelly pointed out that President Biden rescinded dozens of Trump-era executive orders that kept illegal aliens out of the United States — leading to more than 10 million illegal aliens flooding the country since 2021 — Maher conceded that the Biden-Harris Administration “f**ed up” the border issue. He then attempted to reroute the discussion to January 6 and Trump’s rhetoric.
“I don’t care about that at all,” Kelly shot back.
When Maher asked why she didn’t care, Kelly pointed to a number of media-backed, anti-Trump hoaxes over the last decade. “Because they’ve been saying that about Trump for years. They’ve been saying that about Republican candidates for years. It goes, it has like a long story to it. If you are at all center or center-right, you are used to having your candidate of choice completely demonized. Whether it’s the F word, the R word, the misogynist word. They tried to tell us Mitt Romney was a raging sexist because of binders full of women,” she said.
“They tried to tell us John McCain was a raging racist, notwithstanding the fact that he had adopted a daughter from Bangladesh. They’ve been doing this for every Republican. They get to Trump, and we no longer are listening to them. Trump has incendiary rhetoric, there’s no question, but we have four years to judge him by, and the country was going pretty well when Trump was in there, unlike the four years we’ve had under these two.”
Elsewhere in the segment, Kelly managed to win over Maher’s audience after laying out the reality of gender reassignment surgeries and the impact of gender ideology pushed on children.
“Almost equally important, maybe as important, is what we’re doing to our children with this trans insanity. I mean, this is almost my single issue. We are chopping off the healthy body parts of young children,” Kelly said, drawing initial groans from the left-wing crowd. “Oh, 100%,” she added, at which point Maher nodded in agreement.
“We are definitely doing that,” he said. Kelly then instructed the audience to “pay attention” before dropping a “truth bomb” on gender ideology.
“Kids who are suffering from bullying, or who have been sexually assaulted or who are going through normal puberty and feel uncomfortable in their bodies will say to their parents, ‘I’m not sure, maybe I’m gender confused.’ They will send them into a psychiatrist or psychologist who are told by our organizations, the American Psychiatry Association, all the others that run their licensing, you must affirm,” the former Fox News host said.
“Affirm is the only standard. And so the child gets told, you’re right, you are secretly a boy or vice versa. And the child gets put on puberty blockers and across sex hormones which sterilize a child and deprive the child of any chance of sexual pleasure for the rest of his or her life. We’re talking about 9, 10, 11 year olds who cannot give informed consent. Then they have body parts chopped off by a medical establishment and by parents who mean well but believe in these doctors and they shouldn’t.”
