Megyn was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday night to join Donald Trump on stage for his final rally in the Keystone State before Election Day.
As she shared on The Megyn Kelly Show, she received “an invitation that we never really expected to get” from the Trump team over the weekend asking her to address the crowd in the Steel City and all those watching at home. Megyn accepted and said she planned to use her time to explain – particularly to women – why she is supporting the GOP nominee.
Below, you can watch Megyn’s remarks from the rally and read the full transcript of her speech.
The Transcript
Hi, everybody. It’s great to see you. Can you believe this guy? Can you believe the energy and the stamina on this guy at his age? I’m ready to go to sleep over there. He’s got another rally to go to still tonight.
Let me tell you, first of all, one of the reasons why I wanted to come here, one of the many reasons I wanted to come here. When I launched my show four years ago, we had Mark Cuban on the program – you may have seen he was in the news this week – and he started going on about how bad America’s race history was and how ashamed he was of America, and that’s why he was at all these protests, and he felt it was really important to stand up and speak out about human rights violations.
And then it got awkward when I asked him about all the money he was taking from China. Then he dropped a bunch of F-bombs. And I thought, ‘I really enjoy this feeling of proving Mark Cuban wrong.’ And so here I am at a Trump rally – a strong, intelligent woman – to prove Mark Cuban wrong again.
I won’t take up much of your time, but I do want to tell you the main reasons I am voting for Donald Trump. Number one, immigration – he mentioned it – and people like Laken Riley. I’ll be thinking about her tomorrow all day – 22 years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student, by an illegal. I’ll be thinking about Jocelyn Nungaray, 12 years old in Texas, murdered by two Venezuelan illegals.
President Trump closed the border. Kamala Harris opened it by choice. It wasn’t accidental. She said it would be humane. That’s what she and her boss believed. Tell it to Laken Riley’s family. There was nothing humane about it. He closed it. They opened it. It was an intentional choice, and there’s no reason not to believe they won’t do it again.
The boys should not be in the girls sports. The boys should not be in the girls bathrooms. The boys should not be in the girls locker rooms.
Payton McNabb, North Carolina sophomore in high school, slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball hit at her by a boy pretending to be a girl, she suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis. Kamala Harris looks at her and says, ‘Be kind. Suck it up. That’s what’s right.’ Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to ‘be kind’ to boys who want to invade their sports?
And by the way, they are going into the women’s prisons. She changed the law in California to make sure the taxpayers would pay for their sex change operations. She was not just following the law. She changed the law. President Trump will stop it.
He got he got mocked by the left for saying he would be a ‘protector of women.’ He will be a protector of women, and it is why I’m voting for him. He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls sports and where they don’t belong.
And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys, too. Our forgotten boys and our forgotten men, guys like you, guys like these guys who’ve got the calluses on their hands, who work for a living, the beards and the tats, maybe have a beer after work, and don’t want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyoncé, who will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies. These guys will. He gets it. President Trump gets it. He will not look at our boys like they are second-class citizens.
And ladies out there who want a bit of girl power in this election, let me tell you something. How can you win when the sons and the husbands and the brothers and the dads you love are losing? It’s not a win.
We care – young women and older – about the lives of our children, the safety of our children, and we need not get so obsessed with what happens when they’re in the womb that we forget about taking care of them once we’re here and they’re here and they’re loved.
Last point. What I don’t want and what I don’t think you want is the left’s version of masculinity. Did you see that ad they did about Trump voters trying to encourage women to lie to their husbands so that they can vote for her instead of Trump? That’s their version of what marriage looks like – an overbearing husband who bullies his wife into saying she voted one way, as opposed to an honest, open relationship.
Oh, wait, I’m talking about Kamala and Doug. Sorry. Where was that story in the news? Where was that story? I don’t remember a single media person, not one who sat with him asked him about the abuse allegations against him by a successful, professional attorney who has great details, who has receipts, who has witnesses. No one even asked about it.
I’m not into their version of toxic masculinity or new masculinity. I prefer the old version. And I prefer a president who understands how to be strong and how to fight.
I hope all of you do what I did last week, vote Trump and get 10 friends to vote Trump too.
