GREG KELLY (HOST): So today there was a hearing, and the Republican chair is a guy named Self — S, E, L, F. Do we have a picture of him? There he is. He just wouldn't go with this nonsense. And let's face it, it's not just McBride. It's the entire culture that needs to have a correction moment. And he did his part today. He would not call Congressperson McBride a woman — wouldn't call her madam, wouldn't call him — see what I mean? It still catches up to me. That's a boy. Sorry. Or at least we can say that if we feel that way. And if we have evidence that documents that.

...

Well, good for him. And then they all walked out. That meeting had to stop. You can't make — and have you no decency. This guy is great. The guy who was against him, have you no decency? Right. They were saying that about McCarthy when he was making false allegations about people being communists. However, he probably wasn't wrong about the people he was making allegations against. That's another thing we're going to have to address. McCarthy was on the right side of history, it turns out.

But given where we are in this transgender mess, I think somebody — I think the people who are pushing back, it has to be done. There are, folks, believe it or not, who say that complaining about this, a public school program throughout districts across the country here in New York City, they say complaining about drag queens in the school is a hate crime. And I know that drag queens aren't transgender, but it's still freaking weird.
