so far, just two have voiced their support -- marsha blackburn of tennessee and katie britt of alabama. and all eyes tonight on iowa senator joni ernst, the first female combat veteran to serve in the senate and a survivor of sexual assault. ernest, one of several we've learned, on trump's list of possible replacements for hegseth. >> senator, what is it going to take for you to support hegseth? >> reporter: ernest's support will be key, but tonight, she's still not convinced. even after meeting with hegseth one-on-one. >> i think for a number of our senators, they want to make sure that any allegations have been cleared, and that's why we have to have a very thorough vetting process. >> reporter: trump keeping his options open, as tonight, we're told he is notably not making calls on hegseth's behalf. but the former fox news host's mother is, after appearing on the cable network, insisting her son is a changed man. >> pete is a new person. he's redeemed. >> reporter: for now, hegseth hanging on. >> as long as donald trump wants me in this fight, i'm going to be standing right here in

senator katie britt from alabama, did anyone see that clip where she does her elevator pitch where she'shalls of congress? she says america needs to be energy independent and energy dominant. we're the best at what we do. couldn't say it any better. that is our strategic and competitive advantage. make america build again, guys. >> it's not just that. it's the rules that they put in to place to curb the use of gas as well. like ovens here in new york city. do you see other things coming to the front here as trump comes in to office to curb that kind of excessive green mania? >> absolutely. it's not just to drill, baby, drill. one of his priorities should be repealing the entire climate agenda of the biden administration. it's hard to quantify how much havoc this agenda has wreaked on our industries and on our economy. i think of my own home state of michigan where the auto industry makes up 20% of the state's work force. the auto companies have lost billions of dollars to biden's ev mandates. they have laid off thousands of workers, real people whose livelihoods that has been disconnecte

on the nominees defense secretary pete hegseth met with more republican senators alabama senator katie brittthat the intent to support pete hegseth domination, you hosted with the meeting with the republican study committee earlier this week tell us about that where is heads and trippy headsets running into walls, do you think will get confirmed. >> i think the walls are like any nominee that everybody looks at the past to see what they did years ago as opposed to what they're able to do today. i remind people in pete's said this on the luncheon on wednesday we tried the four-star general and tried attorneys and we have not had success we tried politicians. if you think about a general mill he got change genders in foxholes and lloyd austin he was supposed to be a middle east expert in the last time i checked the middle east is on fire so the experts on the pentagon and the military around the world have not been successful in president trump as we know is somebody that is not a politician is somebody that understands we have to do things different and be a disruptor in he sees the and pete

katie britt came out very strongly endorsing him. he meets with susan collins and lisa murkowski next week. that's going to be fascinating. yeah. but look he's out there fighting. and trump i think likes that matt gaetz does not have a very good relationship with any senator. that's why that was very short lived. and he's answering the questions fully. he's going to have to do more. but every day that moves forward, we get closer to an actual hearing. well, that's the goal. >> he threw out the rules and it worked right. the first rule of confirmation battle is stay quiet. wait till the hearing and something changed dramatically about 48, 60 hours ago where he started speaking. his mom spoke out all of his fox friends spoke out. i've spoken with several of his his former fellow hosts and producers, current producers at fox they have his back. they are defending him in a very aggressive way, and i think that's also helped shift the narrative a little bit, which really should have been what you do up front, right? >> that's part of it.

far just two of the nine female republicans are on his side, marcia blackburn of tennessee and katie brittalabama. support of iowa senator ernst will be critical. she's the first combat veteran and survivor of sexual assault in the senate. so far she's not convinced. >> i think for a number of our senators, they want to make sure that any allegations have been cleared and that's why we have to have a very thorough vetting process. >> reporter: also making the rounds on capitol hill, billionaire elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, tasked to lead his outside advisory group on government efficiency, briefing lawmakers on their proposal to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget in two years. a plan with few details. overnight new filings show musk spent over quarter billion dollars of his own money to help trump win the white house. now pete hegseth isn't trump's only cabinet pick facing serious push back. this morning nearly 100 former national security and intelligence officials in a letter are voicing real concern about tulsi gabbard for national intelligence. they are citing her inexperience a
