Megyn begins the show by discussing why Pete Hegseth will be confirmed as secretary of defense after his performance at his Senate hearing on Tuesday, the significance of Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) already announcing her support for Hegseth, the three most annoying senators at the confirmation hearing: Tammy Duckworth, Mazie Hirono, Elissa Slotkin, their ridiculous questions and interruptions, how the female senators make other women look bad, smug CNN pundit Catherine Rampell dismissing Hegseth as just a TV host, Gretchen Carlson’s ridiculous comments pushing a false narrative, and more.
Then, Victor Davis Hanson, author of The End of Everything, joins to discuss former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi crushing the Democrats at her confirmation hearing for U.S. attorney general, the hypocrisy from Hirono who refused to meet with her, the mistake by the left of underestimating her, petty and bitter Michelle Obama refusing to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, Kamala Harris not giving the customary vice presidential residence tour to J.D. Vance and his family, the terrible leadership in California, breaking news about a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas to release hostages, the effect of Trump taking office on the deal, and more.
