00:00:30.000Good morning, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly. It's Monday, October 6th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:39.740Jay Jones is the poster child for the Democratic establishment, and yet here he fantasizes about murdered little children lying lifeless in their mother's arms.
00:00:53.420Shocking texts calling for violence from the Democrats' nominee for Virginia's top law enforcement official.
00:01:12.380What we feel happened today was that the judge acted as a 13th juror, one that we did not choose, and that he second-guessed the jury's verdict.
00:01:21.360Lawyers for Sean Diddy Combs vowing to appeal his four-year prison sentence.
00:01:26.680And former NFL quarterback, now Fox sports guy Mark Sanchez, stabbed and then arrested.
00:01:32.260All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:35.800I've been talking a lot about Riverbend Ranch lately because I love their steaks.
00:01:44.340Riverbend Ranch has taken black Angus beef to a whole new level.
00:01:48.360For the last 35 years, Riverbend Ranch has been creating a very elite Angus herd by using ultrasound to select genetically superior cattle with a focus on flavor and tenderness.
00:01:59.160When you purchase from Riverbend Ranch, you're not only supporting the 64 cowboys and cowgirls and their families who work on the ranch, you're also supporting over 260 other U.S. ranches and the hundreds of American families who work on them.
00:02:12.940It's born in the USA, raised in the USA, and processed in the USA, too.
00:02:17.560This beef is aged to perfection for 21 days and then shipped directly from the ranch to your home.
00:02:22.820This is not your average black Angus beef.
00:02:25.620So order from RiverbendRanch.com, use the promo code MEGAN to get 20 bucks off your first order, and let me know what you think.
00:02:38.940Shocking texts from the Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Virginia, Jay Jones, surfacing, in which he wishes former Republican Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert would, quote,
00:02:52.820The texts, first reported by National Review's Audrey Fahlberg.
00:02:57.480Jones sending the texts on August 8, 2022, to Republican House Delegate Cary Coiner.
00:03:04.340Jones, who at the time had recently resigned from his post in the Statehouse, was mad that Gilbert and other Republican lawmakers were paying tribute to former state legislator Joe Johnson Jr., who had just passed away.
00:03:17.420Jones apparently irritated that Johnson was too much of a Democratic centrist.
00:03:22.820He didn't like the bipartisan mourning.
00:04:07.600Then at one point, he suggested he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coiner to hang up the phone in disgust.
00:04:20.460Jones then resuming the texting, writing, quote,
00:04:23.880I mean, do I think Todd and his wife Jennifer are evil and that they're breeding little fascists?
00:05:50.780Jay Jones is the poster child for the Democratic establishment, and yet here he fantasizes about murdered little children lying lifeless in their mother's arms.
00:06:05.000The leadership of the Democrat Party has become consumed with hate.
00:06:10.980Try to name a Democrat leader who hasn't called the President Hitler.
00:06:15.860My opponent, Abigail Spanberger, urges often for her supporters to fill their hearts with violent hate.
00:06:36.380Rage is defined as violent, uncontrolled anger.
00:06:41.540The unstable pull the triggers, but they are inspired by the hate tolerated and encouraged by the leadership of the Democrat Party.
00:06:52.880Spanberger's continuing support for Jay Jones is also disqualifying her for office.
00:07:00.580She and her party's irresponsible behavior have brought us to this point.
00:07:05.920President Donald Trump on Truth Social calling Jones' messages, quote, sick and demented, saying he should drop out of the race immediately.
00:07:14.840Early voting started in Virginia on September 19th.
00:07:18.580Polls show a tight race between Jones and Mieras.
00:07:22.520A Biden-appointed judge sentencing the man who attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to just eight years and one month in prison on Friday.
00:07:33.140Nicholas Roski, now 29 years old and newly transgender with the female name Sophie, pleading guilty to one count of attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice.
00:07:45.640Prosecutors asking for a sentence of 30 years to life.
00:07:48.940As part of his guilty plea, Roski admitting he flew from Los Angeles to Dulles International Airport with a firearm and ammo in his checked suitcase, taking a taxi to Kavanaugh's neighborhood with the intent to kill him.
00:08:03.600Court filings show Roski wanted to take out Kavanaugh before the justice could vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:08:09.380This happened after the draft of that decision was leaked by someone to the media, a leak that was never investigated by anyone other than the Supreme Court marshal, who, surprise, didn't solve it.
00:08:22.240Roski ultimately getting cold feet after seeing U.S. Marshals guarding the Kavanaugh residence, eventually calling 911 saying he had suicidal thoughts and needed psychiatric help.
00:08:32.760U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman giving Roski credit for calling 911 and being sure to use Roski's preferred pronouns and new name.
00:09:19.860I take into consideration the conditions of pretrial confinement and the fact that she is a transgender woman and will be sent to a male-only Bureau of Prisons facility.
00:09:32.700Judge Boardman spent a year in Jordan after college as a Fulbright scholar.
00:09:38.460Later, she worked as a federal public defender where she served for 11 years.
00:09:42.220She was among the first district court judges to block President Trump's executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.
00:09:50.480Attorney General Pam Bondi vowing to appeal the sentence, writing on X,
00:09:54.580The attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a disgusting attack against our entire judicial system by a profoundly disturbed individual.
00:10:04.380The Justice Department will be appealing the woefully insufficient sentence imposed by the district court, which does not reflect the horrific facts of this case.
00:11:38.700Friday was judgment day for disgraced music mogul Sean Diddy Combs.
00:11:43.080His sentence, four years and two months in prison plus a $500,000 fine.
00:11:47.580In July, a federal jury in Manhattan finding Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
00:11:55.240The same jury acquitting Combs of the more serious racketeering conspiracy charge and of two counts of sex trafficking after an eight-week trial where prosecutors put on evidence that his ex-girlfriends were pressured into having sex with paid male escorts known as freak-offs.
00:12:11.760Those counts carrying a maximum of life in prison.
00:12:14.560Combs' defense attorneys conceding at trial that their client had committed domestic violence, but arguing his conduct did not amount to running a criminal enterprise or sex trafficking.
00:12:25.960That strategy appearing to backfire on Friday.
00:12:29.040U.S. District Court Judge Aaron Subramanian, a Biden appointee, ruling that a sentencing enhancement for coercion of the women applies in this case.
00:12:38.460Combs has been incarcerated in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September of last year.
00:12:45.800The rapper and businessman apparently banking on his time behind bars coming to a quick end, with prosecutors revealing he booked a speaking engagement for this week in Miami.
00:12:56.280Diddy's 50-month sentence was below the five years and 10 months to seven years and three months the judge said the sentencing guidelines called for,
00:13:03.720and significantly less than the 11 years and significantly less than the 11 years and three months the prosecution wanted.
00:13:08.460Combs' six adult children asking the judge for leniency at the sentencing hearing,
00:13:13.040and his attorneys playing a slickly produced video highlighting Combs' community service and his role as a family man.
00:13:20.200The rapper who did not testify at trial, addressing the court during sentencing, apologizing to his victims, Cassie Ventura,
00:13:26.860and a woman who went by Jane at trial.
