Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Well, 24 hours ago, literally this time yesterday, I was in Washington, D.C., for an exclusive sit-down with President-elect Trump's nominee to lead the Defense Department, Pete Hegseth. As you know, Pete's now in a political dogfight to save his nomination.
At this point, his future remains unclear. If you believe some in the media, he's done enough now to secure Trump's continued support. Others suggest he does not have the votes. and say Trump could pull a switcheroo and name Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in Hegseth's place.
Our pal Mark Halperin, who has excellent sources and has been right on just about everything this year, said the following this morning on his show, The Morning Meeting.
I heard from a very good source today that by the weekend, Ron DeSantis will be the nominee for defense secretary. One source. I'm not telling you it's definitely true, but that's certainly the case. However, if you go on X, you will see another cavalcade of strong supporters for Hegsip.
who are making this a test of Donald Trump's fidelity to MAGA, and they find it insulting that someone who MAGA has turned on bigly, Ron DeSantis, would possibly replace someone who casts himself at least as full-on MAGA. Mm-hmm. Whatever the case may be, Hegseth is not going down without a fight. This morning, he posted the following on X, quote,
Maybe it's time for a Secretary of Defense who has led in combat, been on patrol for days, pulled a trigger, heard bullets whiz by, called in close air support, led medevacs, dodged IEDs, and understands to his core the power of this photo because he's been on that knee before.
For those listening to this show on Sirius XM or via podcast, the photo shows two soldiers kneeling in front of a rifle and helmet, honoring a fallen friend. Joining me now, Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show. The Tuttle Twins' biggest sale of the year is about to end. You know what makes these books special?
