Listeners of “The Megyn Kelly Show” got a surprise during a recent episode after Kelly shockingly admitted that her work while a star at her former network was a massive failure, and that she was part of the “problem.”
During Tuesday’s episode, Kelly reflected on her time at NBC News, where she worked from 2017 to 2018.
Kelly ripped NBC News for learning “nothing” about how they cover transgender issues, even admitting she had been part of the “problem” while at the network.
“The news media is part of the problem. I worked at NBC. I was part of the problem while there,” Kelly said. “I’ve talked to my audience about this. It was early on in this whole thing, but it was, frankly, it was late enough that I should have known better. But the whole thing hadn’t exploded in the way it has. This was back in 2018.”
“However, NBC has learned nothing. They’ve learned nothing from the explosion of this ideology amongst children and their testimonials and the data we now have on what puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones does to a young girl’s or boy’s fertility and sexual function,” Kelly added. “Nothing. They’ve paid zero attention.”
Kelly continued to call out her former employer, saying they have “refused” to use biological-based language and have instead used preferred pronouns when discussing transgender issues.
“It’s all about you have to affirm, or you’re a bigot. They refuse to use biologically based language. Pronouns and words like ‘daughter’ should not have been in that NBC News piece. There was a great example of fighting back against this on CNN over the weekend,” Kelly said. “It happened on Friday.”
Take a listen —
Kelly has long called out the push of gender ideology by trans activists, allowing detransitioners on her show to speak out against the process of cross-sex hormone therapy.
Gender ideology has once again become a hot-button topic, specifically in sports, after national news of a transgender athlete named AB Hernandez (a biological male) won multiple California high school state track and field championships against biological girls.
Kelly pointed to this latest news as the reason why networks are getting things so wrong.
“It circulated on X over the weekend. It was attorney Julie Hamill who confronted far left activist Brianna Keilar, who poses as a neutral news anchor but is really just a partisan hack. And Julie Hamill, in like sort of stone-cold fashion, just called out Brianna Keilar’s nonsense and a factual discussions,” Kelly said.
Last Saturday, California attorney Julie Hamill confronted CNN’s Brianna Keilar after the host questioned what a “fair” competition for biological male athlete AB Hernandez would look like, notably referring to Hernandez as “her.”
Kelly played a clip of Hamill bluntly asking who “her” referred to, before calling out that the transgender athlete is a biological male who identifies as female.
“That’s how it’s done,” Kelly added.
The polarizing issue has garnered national attention as President Donald Trump has told Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the state could have its federal funding “held back” if it continues to disobey federal law.
In February, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports. The Department of Education has since warned states that it will investigate those that do not comply with federal law.
