MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Thankfully, today is July 1, and I think we're all heaving a sigh of relief because Pride Month is officially over. And no one, no one wanted any more Pride Month. No sane person wanted any more Pride Month because of displays like this one. Here is — this is from New York City, from the Dyke March. You may have missed it, but it happened, last week.
...
ROB FINNERTY (NEWSMAX HOST): So, Megyn, two observations from pride 2026, and I'm so happy that it's July 1 now. But this — first of all, it's getting worse and more perverted and more sadistic every single year. When gay marriage became legal, I think it was 2015, Barack Obama, pride was like — I can remember my local news station, they wouldn't let us get political at that time, but we were required to be a part of the pride celebration in Tampa, Florida. And all the anchors had to be on the pride float.
And I remember I asked my former CNN producer, now news director, how this is not political. And she said, it's just pride. You're celebrating people coming out of the closet. And I said, well, yeah, I mean don't want to lose my job, but I was like, you're celebrating what people — you're celebrating what people choose to do behind closed doors, what they choose to do in the bedroom. And nobody celebrates what I do in the bedroom. I wish they would have a parade for it. They never will, OK? But for whatever reason, we are all required to honor and celebrate what these people do.
And if you look at pride parades in 2013, 2014, 2015, they were a lot calmer. I lived in Boston and I saw one and I was younger. And I remember it was Santa Claus whipping reindeer and the reindeer were men. And I remember that was the first inkling I had that, hey, wait a second. Maybe this is more than just like I had the courage to come out of the closet to my parents.
But then the other part of this is the violence. This year we saw that the media won't cover it. They do what they always do and that's cover it up. But these are all very violent by and large. And in Seattle this past weekend, pride went out with a bang there. People got arrested. Independent journalists that were covering it got attacked. And then the people that did it, who were also pride/antifa, they were arrested. So these are also very, very violent events by and large.
KELLY: It's like, you're right. Because there seems to be like an increase, like the hockey stick, in perversion and criminal behavior at these events. And — like, the country's not in the mood for it.
