Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, coming to you today from Washington, D.C., where we just attended the Senate confirmation hearing of Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. We've got the whole hearing covered gavel to gavel for you today.
We're going to be joined in a second by Rob O'Neill and Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor winner. um, in just a bit. And Michael Knowles will be here to kick things off in two seconds. But first, just want to give you my, my overall thoughts. No one laid a glove on him. He's good. He's got this. I have zero doubts now that he will be confirmed.
Joni Ernst was the big question mark and she was great today. She was very nice in her questioning of him. Very respectful. Um, That's not a no vote. No way. And, you know, this is just the Senate Armed Services Committee. He has got to he'll get out of committee. And but like she was the big pivotal vote, even if Trump is going to lose potentially McConnell, potentially Murkowski.
and Collins, which now they're saying he might not. I don't think Pete Hegseth has trouble. I think he's going to get confirmed, and I don't think anybody touched him. And really, to me, the story of the day was how some of these Democrat senators embarrassed themselves trying to. I was humiliated for some... Why do the women always have to be so shitty?
Why do the women have to be like these hysterical fools? Why can't they be more dignified? You know, like you could lay gloves on him. I mean, Tim Kaine was the worst. I should say that up front. The worst. The most disgusting, I should say. But he wasn't like an hysteric. Maisie Hirono is so dumb. I can't believe she's a U.S. senator. Christian Gillibrand was like... Women can be in combat.
You've hurt our feelings. It's like, oh my God, you are undermining the very cause that I know you so desperately want to promote right now. So I was embarrassed for them. I was embarrassed for my sex and how they were behaving today. Then there was Slotkin. Copy. who's the newest Democrat over on the left side.
And while her background sounded impressive, she'd been with the CIA and so on, she was so annoying. Oh, I know you've genuflected. Okay, you've done your genuflection to Donald Trump. Like, everyone was just... There's a way of doing cross-examination where you don't wind up the least likable between the person you're crossing and yourself.
And obviously these people, most of them, haven't done it. Right? You can tell the difference. You see a Trey Gowdy cross-examination, you think he's the man. That guy knows what he's doing. You see these people try to do it. You're like, are you trying to make me hate you? I'm not inclined to hate you just because you're a Dem or against Pete. You're just behaving like a prick.
Anyway, before I bring in Michael, I just want to say, so I went there today. I've never gone to a Senate confirmation hearing as a regular person as opposed to as a member of the press. I did it because the Hegseths invited me and I said, you know what, this would be a great experience for me for a couple of reasons.
