6. Megyn Kelly is one of the smartest people on this planet.

Like scary smart. I've only been on her show once but unlike everyone else, she met me in the green room beforehand and sat down and talked with me for 10-15 minutes and engaged me on the subject before we went on and in doing so gave a real good accounting of both sides of the argument and I really was shocked by how smart she was.

That doesn't mean she is necessarily right about most things. Being scary smart does not prevent you from being wrong a lot. If you have a lot of preconceived notions about things, even a smart person can find themselves subconsciously giving more weight to arguments that have less merit.

Anyone underestimates her at their grave peril. I was happy that she played moderator when I was on and I had another guest to debate. I was on attacking Christie about Bridgegate, etc.
