Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. Today, an MK Show exclusive, Pete Heggseth.

Nominy for Secretary of Defense sits down with yours truly in an exclusive and his first

interview after being nominated and after the allegations against him have been swirling

and being launched from virtually every corner of the mainstream media, which clearly does

not want him to have this job.

Pete and I go way back. I've

told you this before. We worked together on Fox News for a number of years. He became a contributor

with my full endorsement and backing, and we became friends while I was at Fox. And I haven't

spent a lot of time with Pete over the last 10 years or so, but I've long respected him

and his service to the country. I've been really dismayed by the amount of pylon that he's

been suffering, and I've been outraged by the unfairness of the media's coverage of the allegations.

You're going to be able to decide for yourself whether the allegations are true, relevant,

and dispositive for this position.

But my own goal was to give Pete the chance to respond to them, to bring context to them in the

course of the interview. So you would know, are they anonymous? Are they backed by a specific person

saying who they are and how they know Pete, and what is the evidence on the other

side? I believe that's the job of a journalist to air the news, to discuss, frankly, what the

allegations are, and to give the audience enough information to make up their own minds. We've gone

through the alleged rape charge against Pete in great detail. We've devoted entire shows to it.

That was just a week or so ago. So check

the archives of the program if you'd like to see. But today, absolutely nothing was off limits.
