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. We have Victor Davis Hanson coming up in just a bit. And wait until you hear the latest reporting about Mayor Karen Bass and what she was up to exactly during the deadly Los Angeles wildfires. This woman is cold stone callous. I mean, she does not seem to give an F. We'll show you the video and play you the sound. But first... These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance. Whether at home, on the road, or just living everyday life, having a reliable way to protect yourself and your family is crucial. This is why Burna is the choice for many. I'm excited to tell you about Burna.
Burn is a game-changing, less lethal self-defense tool. It's compact, it's powerful, and it's easy to use. It provides the confidence to act in any situation, whether you are a gun owner who would like a non-lethal option before you get to the actual firearm, or you are someone who is uncomfortable with guns and you want something to protect yourself, but something that is not lethal. Burna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, kinetic projectiles to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance. And the best part, Burna can be shipped directly to your door and it's legal in all 50 states. Burna is proudly American with products hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sometimes a firearm is not the right option. What if you have terrible aim?
With burnout, you actually don't have to hit the perpetrator. If he's hiding behind a chair, you can hit the wall right behind him or all around him. And the basically chemical pellets will take him out for a time, not take him out, take him out. Burna is a powerful alternative and a lot of gun owners love it. A lot of non-gun owners love it. It's just a very clever, thoughtful alternative or addition to your firearm. Protect what matters most with Burna. Visit byrna.com.

Burna, non-lethal self-defense, always ready. Back at home now here in Connecticut after attending the Pete Hegseth hearing yesterday where the nominee for defense secretary knocked it out of the park. Last night after we said goodbye to you guys after a late taping following the hearing, the most important thing in this entire process happened.
Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, who I told you on the show had been very much on the fence about Pete, came out and formally announced her support for him. It's done. He's going to get confirmed. It's over. He's in. You can start calling him Mr. Secretary. That's that's my view. Unless something catastrophic happens between now and the time the full Senate takes its vote. We were looking at McConnell. We were looking at Collins. We were looking at Murkowski. McConnell's, of course, an enemy of Trump and Murkowski and Collins are left wing Republicans. And then we were looking at Ernst. Well, the Republicans can afford to lose three. Not four, three. If it's three, it'll be 50-50 vote in the Senate, assuming he gets no damn votes.
And then the vice president, as president of the Senate, would cast the deciding vote. That would be J.D. Vance, and he'd be confirmed. We're not even hearing any rumblings about McConnell and the other two now. They haven't officially said that they'll be voting for him. But Ernst was the pivotal character. There isn't a person, including you, Susan Collins, you, Lisa Murkowski, or you, Leader McConnell, who cares more about women in the military than Joni Ernst. There is not one. Not you, Kirsten Gillibrand. None of you. So if she's on board, there is no excuse for, in particular, these Republicans, who I just listed, not to be on board. And I think they'll realize that. I don't think he's going to get a Dem vote. I actually don't think he will. This is how it goes now. We used to get majority, even unanimous support for another party's nominees, unless there was just something so obviously beyond the pale. And now we don't.
