Top-rated conservative journalist Megyn Kelly compelled “Real Time” host Bill Maher to abandon his own argument during a debate about the border crisis while subsequently winning over Maher’s left-leaning audience with a detailed explanation of gender ideology and the implications of sex change operations for minors.
After Kelly highlighted that President Joe Biden had rescinded numerous Trump-era executive orders designed to limit illegal immigration—resulting in over 10 million illegal aliens entering the country since 2021—Maher acknowledged that the Biden-Harris Administration had “f**ked up” the border situation. He then attempted to shift the focus of the discussion to January 6 and Trump’s rhetoric. But Kelly fired back: “I don’t care about that at all.”
When Maher asked why she didn’t care, the former Fox News star rattled off several 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,” Kelly added.

Later in the segment, Kelly succeeded in winning over Maher’s audience by articulating the realities of gender reassignment surgeries and the effects of the gender ideology being promoted to 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” regarding 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,” Kelly 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,” she continued.
