Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Welcome to the Megyn Kelly show. As we've been telling you, controversy has been swirling around the Pentagon all week. You've heard that everywhere with reports of, quote, total chaos in the building. NPR reporting the White House is looking for a new defense secretary, which Team Trump says is fake news.
But three of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's top aides, Dan Caldwell, Colin Carroll and Darren Selnick, did lose their jobs last week. reportedly as the result of a leak investigation. They were looking into who's been leaking to the media. These three got offered up as the sacrificial lambs. Now, they deny that they leaked, and they say that they still support Pete Hegseth.
You heard from Dan Caldwell on the Tucker Carlson podcast on Monday. And today, one of the remaining two who was fired, Colin Carroll, is here with me. He served as chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Steven Feinberg, at least until last Friday. You've heard about tariffs recently, plus inflation, supply chain disruptions. It's a lot. But there is a silver lining that most people missed.
