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. Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as the new director of national intelligence. The vote was 52 to 48. How about that?

It was basically a straight party line vote with Senator Mitch McConnell voting, no, like he did with

Pete Hagseth. We will have more on that tomorrow with our pals from Ruthless, but she's through.

That's incredible. That was a tough one. I mean,

as you know, I went to that confirmation hearing part of it. And my God, they were all so negative on

her. It's like they didn't want to try something new. They, notwithstanding Trump's overwhelming

victory and his promise to the American

people that he was going to shake things up and it would not be business as usual. And he had his

team of Avengers who he was going to put in there. You had a bunch of old naysayers, you know,

she's different. She looks different. She sounds different. She doesn't say all the things that

all the others have said. And it took quite a bit of browbeating

to get these Republican senators in line. You know, the letters she had to write is just, boy,

they really make you bend the knee when you're in her position. But you know what?

She's in now. And that's that. You know, all we really needed was your yes vote. So thank you for doing that.

And really, there should be a conversation about, like, exactly what extractions are appropriate to demand by these senators of cabinet nominees.

I mean, this person, she's working for Trump, right?

She's got oversight by the Congress, but she's not working for you.

She wasn't hired by you directly, Senator.

I've got a couple in mind, and I will do them the favor of not mentioning them here.

But I think there will be a conversation to come on

those who harassed people like RFKJ and Tulsi into, you will adopt all of my policy positions
