00:00:30 Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily Jashinsky, host of After Party and the Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up
00:00:37 Show on SiriusXM Channel 111. It's Friday, November 13th, 2026, and this is your AM update.
00:00:43 The last thing that people want to hear from me or any other politician here is about the
00:00:49 next election. Despite their insistence that voters aren't interested in the next election,
00:00:54 some of the biggest names in the Democrat Party are already positioning themselves for 2028.
00:00:59 President Trump removing J.D. Vance from efforts to end the war with Iran,
00:01:04 declaring the U.S. no longer needs a peace deal.
00:01:07 My commitment is to be someone that continues to stay in prayer,
00:01:11 continues to have faith,
00:01:13 and continues to work to make every Mississippian's life better.
00:01:17 A major upset in Mississippi as Democrats flip a Senate seat Republicans have held for decades.
00:01:23 And a twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to hijack a passenger plane

00:02:48 Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York 1.00
00:02:53 shaking up her political operation once again
00:02:55 as she weighs a potential presidential campaign
00:02:58 or a primary challenge against Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer in 2028.
00:03:03 According to Axios, Ocasio-Cortez parting ways
00:03:05 with her longtime digital fundraising firm, Middlesey,
00:03:08 which received more than $6 million from her political operation
00:03:11 over the past two years. 0.91
00:03:13 In its place, hiring Aisle 518 Strategies,
00:03:16 led by Tim Tagaris, who oversaw online fundraising for Bernie Sanders' two presidential campaigns.
00:03:22 The move, following another round of staff changes earlier this year,
00:03:26 including the departures of her longtime campaign manager and creative director.
00:03:30 The Washington Sun reporting Ocasio-Cortez recently hired another former Sanders aide
00:03:34 to handle communications.
00:03:36 The 37-year-old progressive now considering whether to challenge Senator Schumer for his seat,
00:03:41 launch a White House bid, or remain in the House.
00:03:44 Mr. Schumer's term expiring in 2028, when he would be 77 years old.
00:03:49 Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez sidestepping questions about her political future.
00:03:53 The last thing that people want to hear from me or any other politician here is about the
00:03:59 next election.
00:04:00 And what they actually want to hear from us is about what we are going to do with the
00:04:05 electoral results they just gave us on Tuesday.
00:04:08 Ocasio-Cortez telling The Washington Sun she intends to deliberate privately and does not
00:04:13 expect to announce her plans anytime soon. Meanwhile, other potential 2028 presidential
00:04:18 contenders beginning to position themselves for a White House run as Democrats prepare to take
00:04:23 control of Congress. Some of the party's biggest names gathering in Denver this week for a conference
00:04:28 focused on Democrats' future and how to build on their sweeping midterm victories. The event
00:04:33 bringing together several possible presidential hopefuls, including former Transportation
00:04:37 Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Senators Cory Booker and
00:04:42 Raphael Warnock. Other potential contenders, taking a more traditional step towards a
00:04:47 presidential campaign, publishing books that lay out their visions for the country. Among them,
00:04:52 Maryland Governor Wes Moore announcing his new book, Repair, just days after winning
00:04:56 re-election in a landslide. My new book, Repair, is available for pre-order. So we all know that
00:05:03 things in this country feel pretty broken right now. And so this book invites us to together solve
00:05:08 the hard question. What do we do about it? It's an honest look about where we're at,
00:05:12 about what we need to do to rebuild, but differently, and what we need to protect at all costs.
00:05:19 Governor Moore joining a list of potential 2028 contenders with new books, including Senator Chris
00:05:24 Murphy of Connecticut, Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.
00:05:29 Governor Beshear recently publishing Go and Do Likewise, although insisting to CNN he has not
00:05:35 made any decisions about a White House bid. Well, there is no such plan. I spent two years
00:05:41 as either chair elect or chair of the DGA putting every moment I have into trying to winning as
00:05:48 many races as we could. We had a historic night, best cycle we've ever had. So I'm trying to savor
00:05:53 it a little bit and I'm trying to get a little bit of sleep, which hasn't happened quite yet.
00:05:57 But, you know, here in the near future, I will get together with my family.
00:06:01 We'll talk it through. We'll make a decision and we'll let you know.
00:06:05 According to the latest RealClear polling average, former Vice President Kamala Harris leading the potential 2028 Democrat field with 21% support, followed by California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, tied at nearly 14%.
00:06:20 Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, close behind at 13%, followed by Senator John Ossoff of Georgia at 11%.
00:06:28 President Trump pulling Vice President J.D. Vance off diplomatic efforts to end the war
00:06:34 with Iran, instead directing him to focus solely on alleged corruption in Democrat-run
00:06:40 states and cities.
00:06:41 The president announcing the shift yesterday in a lengthy Truth Social post, writing,
00:06:45 I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the massive
00:06:50 corruption and crime taking place in Democrat-run cities and states throughout the U.S.
00:06:56 Trump singling out Minnesota, California, and Illinois, accusing Democrat leaders of
00:07:00 allowing billions of dollars in fraud each month.
00:07:03 The president then turning to Iran, declaring, quote,
00:07:06 We don't need a deal with Iran.
00:07:08 Those days have long since passed. 0.97
00:07:10 We've got their money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and we've got their straight.
00:07:13 The announcement marking a significant reversal for Vice President Vance, who had been leading
00:07:19 diplomatic efforts to end the eight-month conflict.
00:07:22 The vice president traveling to Pakistan in April for lengthy negotiations that failed
00:07:26 to produce a lasting resolution.
00:07:28 More recently, Axios reporting that Mr. Vance contacted a top Iranian security official
00:07:33 through intermediaries, proposing a new round of peace talks under his leadership.
00:07:38 The president's decision coming just over a week after Mr. Vance diagnosed the war
00:07:42 as the reason for Republicans devastating midterm losses.
00:07:46 According to the New York Times, President Trump has been weighing several options with
00:07:49 Iran, including renewed military strikes, a withdrawal that would leave regional allies
00:07:54 to manage the conflict, or maintaining the current blockade. Although large-scale fighting
00:07:59 has subsided, smaller clashes continue, and the struggle over the Strait of Hormuz remains
00:08:03 unresolved. Coming up, Democrats pulling off a historic upset in deep red Mississippi,
00:08:10 flipping a Senate seat for the first time in decades. And DHS revealing that a twice-deported
00:08:16 illegal immigrants secured asylum by claiming to be transgender before allegedly threatening
00:08:21 to blow up a passenger plane. Everyone's talking about weight loss injections because the results 1.00

00:09:22 A stunning upset in Mississippi, where Democrat Scott Colombe has defeated Republican Senator
00:09:28 Cindy Hyde-Smith, flipping a Senate seat that Republicans have held for decades.
00:09:33 The Associated Press calling the race Wednesday evening, more than a week after Election Day.
00:09:37 With 99% of the vote counted, Cologne leading Hyde-Smith by about 5,000 votes, 49.2% to 48.7%.
00:09:46 The 43-year-old district attorney becoming the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi since 1982 and the state's first black senator since Reconstruction.
00:09:57 Cologne celebrating the historic victory Wednesday night at Tougaloo College in Jackson, promising to represent all Mississippians regardless of how they voted.
00:10:07 I want to have a final word to every Mississippian, the ones that voted for me, the ones that didn't vote for me, and the ones that didn't vote.
00:10:15 My commitment to you, each and every one of you, is that first, I'm going to treat your children like I want my children to be treated.
00:10:25 I'm going to treat your parents the way I want my parents to be treated.
00:10:29 I'm going to treat your future the way I want my future to be.
00:10:33 My commitment is to be someone that continues to stay in prayer, continues to have faith, and continues to work to make every Mississippian's life better.
00:10:44 His opponent, Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, conceding after more than a week of ballot counting.
00:10:51 While this is not the outcome we worked for or hoped for, I respect the decision of Mississippi voters.
00:10:57 I want to congratulate Scott Cologne and wish him well as he takes on the tremendous responsibility of representing our great state.
00:11:05 The result marking a dramatic political shift in a state that has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980.
00:11:12 President Trump carrying Mississippi by 23 points just two years ago.
00:11:17 According to the Wall Street Journal, Cologne dominating traditional Democrat strongholds, including Hines County, home to the state capitol, while making gains in Republican territory.
00:11:25 Among them, Forrest County, which President Trump carried with roughly 58% of the vote in 2024.
00:11:32 The race carrying an unusual personal history between the two candidates.
00:11:35 In 2023, Hyde-Smith blocking Cologne's nomination to a lifetime federal judgeship
00:11:40 after then-President Joe Biden selected him for the position.
00:11:44 Cologne later indicating that he would likely not have entered the Senate race had he been confirmed.
00:11:49 Affordability also playing a central role in his campaign,
00:11:52 particularly in one advertisement that drew national attention.
00:11:57 On price of beef continuing to go up.
00:11:59 You know, you have so many proteins to choose from.
00:12:02 Pick another protein? 1.00
00:12:03 Shit, I'd rather pick another senator instead. 1.00
00:12:07 Pick another protein? 1.00
00:12:09 She done lost her damn mind. 1.00
00:12:11 I'd rather pick another senator. 0.99
00:12:14 Coulomb's victory delivering Democrats their eighth Republican-held Senate seat of the midterm elections,
00:12:19 bringing the projected total to at least 55 seats in the next Congress.

00:12:29 of attempting to hijack a United Airlines flight was granted asylum after claiming to be transgender.
00:12:35 Fox News reporting that 34-year-old Honduran national Rony Gomez Alberto
00:12:39 told immigration authorities he feared being killed in his home country because of his gender identity.

00:13:03 Authorities alleging Gomez Alberto threatened to hijack the aircraft,
00:13:07 claimed to have a bomb, and attempted to force his way into the cockpit.
00:13:11 The pilots reportedly issuing a hijacking alert
00:13:13 as the 46 passengers and six flight attendants and pilots remained on board.
00:13:18 The plane landing safely in New Orleans,
00:13:21 where law enforcement officers took Gomez Alberto into custody.
00:13:25 Emergency radio traffic capturing the response on the ground.
00:13:28 We advise pilots are going to stay in the cockpit with the door locked.
00:13:32 Flight attendants are going to come off,
00:13:34 so we're going to bring them off and bring them over here as well.
00:13:37 He doesn't speak English.
00:13:38 We have him at the back door. The back door has been breached by him.
00:13:42 No injuries reported. Gomez Alberto now held without bond in Louisiana, facing charges including terrorizing, communicating false information about planned arson, and being a fugitive from justice.

00:14:40 pending removal proceedings.
00:14:42 DHS now confirming that an immigration judge subsequently granted him asylum,
00:14:46 although the agency has not specified when that ruling occurred.
00:14:50 Secretary of Homeland Security Mark Wayne Mullin condemning the circumstances
00:14:53 surrounding Gomez Alberto's admission to the country.
00:14:57 Secretary Mullen accusing the suspect
00:14:58 of taking advantage of a weak asylum system
00:15:01 that allowed him to game the process,
00:15:03 despite his two previous deportations.
00:15:06 Following Monday's arrest,
00:15:07 ICE filing a detainer
00:15:08 with a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office on Tuesday,
