MEGYN KELLY (HOST): You know, Hogan, it was weird for me because I saw him get up there, and I saw his kids crying and clapping for him. And it was touching. It was sweet. You know, in the same way I thought it was sweet when Ashley Biden and Joe Biden hugged, and he cried when he hugged his daughter. Like, those human moments, they do tug at the heartstrings. You'd be inhuman not to feel it. 

And yet, when he started speaking, all I could think was, it's very nice that your children support you, and I'm happy for you that you have this beautiful family. However, you're literally making it as easy as possible for healthy kids to chop off their healthy body parts and sterilize themselves for life away from their loving parents as your state allows for custodial hearings that yank them out of their loving homes so your Minnesota doctors can chop them up. I stop feeling warm and fuzzy about that point.

You know what's so dark? It's like the whole mind your own damn business. And by the way, I'm from upstate New York. That's where I spent all my, you know, formative years in Syracuse and Albany. And it's very Midwestern in its tenor, in its culture. We have a lot in common with our friends in the Midwest. 

And, if they had any idea in a place like upstate New York that they were, that their government was pushing the kind of things that the Biden-Harris administration is pushing and that the Harris-Walz administration is going to push, they would run, run to vote Republican. One of the things that's gone under the radar, and it's really bothering me because they're like, mind your own damn business. Mind your own, yes, that does appeal as a message.

But what they mean is when I send a boy into your daughter's locker room naked, then into her sport so he can win and she can't, mind your own damn business. Keep your mouth shut. That's none of your business as a parent. Stay out of it. And if you don't believe me, we talked a lot on the show about Title IX and the crazy revisions that Biden-Harris just pushed through.

And thank God the US Supreme Court has stayed them for now because there's been so many legal challenges because it's totally unconstitutional. But at the same time, Monica, what the Biden-Harris administration did was they went to the EEOC. And they said for all corporations, you need to make sure that any man who wants to use the women's bathroom at work is able to, and you need to make sure everybody in your office place is using the preferred pronouns of whatever trans person declares themselves to be in your workplace. So it is mandated government speech, which is totally unconstitutional. 

And I'll tell you right now, I'm my own boss, but if I were ever working in a place where they tried to make me call a man a female and refer to him as she/her, I wouldn't, and I'd take my case all the way up to the US Supreme Court. But that's the sort of, quote, freedom this ticket is talking about.
