00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone.
00:00:33.920 I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:00:34.860 It's Tuesday, October 14th, 2025.
00:00:37.540 And this is your AM Update.
00:00:39.520 With God's help, it'll be the new beginning for an entire beautiful Middle East.
00:00:45.600 An enormous achievement.
00:00:47.420 President Trump declaring peace in the Middle East as world leaders begin the next phase of negotiations over Gaza's future.
00:00:54.440 But when it comes down to understanding the implementation of how it is that our kids are coexisting.
00:01:03.080 The Democrat candidate for Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, struggles to articulate her position, well, any position at all, on men in women's locker rooms as her lead in the polls slips.
00:01:15.120 And rough weather batters Alaska and the East Coast.
00:01:19.180 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:22.180 I've been talking a lot about Riverbend Ranch lately because I love their steaks.
00:01:30.700 Riverbend Ranch has taken black Angus beef to a whole new level.
00:01:34.700 For 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.
00:01:45.520 When 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.
00:01:59.280 It's born in the USA, raised in the USA, and processed in the USA, too.
00:02:03.920 This beef is aged to perfection for 21 days and then shipped directly from the ranch to your home.
00:02:09.520 This is not your average black Angus beef.
00:02:11.480 So order from RiverbendRanch.com, use the promo code MEGAN to get 20 bucks off your first order, and let me know what you think.
00:02:19.600 RiverbendRanch.com, promo code MEGAN.
00:02:25.020 President Trump and more than 20 other world leaders traveling to Egypt yesterday for a landmark Gaza peace summit,
00:02:31.780 as the return of all living Israeli hostages marks the start of phase two of the White House's 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.
00:02:41.480 And create a lasting peace.
00:02:43.860 President Trump, joined by the presidents of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, signing a declaration for enduring peace and prosperity that reads in part, quote,
00:02:52.920 We are united in our determination to dismantle extremism and radicalization in all its forms.
00:03:00.060 No society can flourish when violence and racism is normalized, or when radical ideologies threaten the fabric of civil life.
00:03:07.440 We commit to addressing the conditions that enable extremism, and to promoting education, opportunity, and mutual respect as foundations for lasting peace.
00:03:17.060 Mr. Trump saying the deal represents more than peace in Gaza, calling it the beginning of a transformation of the entire Middle East region.
00:03:26.020 The momentous breakthrough that we're here to celebrate tonight is more than the end of the war in Gaza.
00:03:32.240 It's with God's help.
00:03:33.160 It'll be the new beginning for an entire, beautiful Middle East, where we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us.
00:03:43.200 And that's why so many people in this room, they didn't get along.
00:03:47.380 Some did, some didn't.
00:03:48.780 But they're getting along now.
00:03:49.900 This has brought the people together.
00:03:51.320 This is the first time the Middle East crisis has brought people together, as opposed to driving them apart.
00:03:56.440 And to declare that our future will not be ruled by the fights of the generations past, which is foolish.
00:04:03.360 So together, let us continue in the spirit of cooperation and goodwill that has finally brought us to this incredible, historic breakthrough.
00:04:13.120 If we do, together, we will reach the Middle East's incredible destiny, a safe and prosperous and beautiful crossroads of culture and commerce, faith in humanity, and geographic center.
00:04:26.200 This will be the geographic center of the world.
00:04:29.140 Throughout the day, the atmosphere remaining upbeat.
00:04:31.820 President of Egypt saying this moment could not have been reached without President Trump.
00:04:38.120 You are the only one who is able to bring about peace and achieve peace.
00:04:44.980 Mr. Trump praising regional leaders for setting aside generations of conflict to make the deal possible.
00:04:50.980 The mood light at times.
00:04:52.200 President Trump at one point teasing Norway's representative, just days after the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, which is Norwegian and sits in Norway, passed him over for the award.
00:05:02.580 We have Norway.
00:05:05.220 Oh, Norway.
00:05:06.140 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:06.880 Norway.
00:05:07.880 What happened, Norway?
00:05:09.280 What happened?
00:05:11.960 Where's Norway?
00:05:13.460 Where is he?
00:05:14.760 We have Johnny.
00:05:16.060 We're going to the World Cup.
00:05:17.540 I can tell you that.
00:05:18.420 Where's Norway?
00:05:18.980 Anyway, I don't think he wants to stand out of these back there.
00:05:23.600 We have Norway.
00:05:25.380 Still, difficult talks lie ahead over Gaza's post-war governance, Hamas's future, and the potential for Palestinian statehood.
00:05:33.120 The 20-point plan allowing for the eventual possibility, but only after a long series of preconditions are met.
00:05:39.940 President Trump not weighing in on the issue in front of the cameras.
00:05:42.820 It is unclear if the topic was broached in private.
00:05:46.580 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who did not attend the ceremony in Egypt, is opposed to a Palestinian state.
00:05:53.520 Behind the scenes, the Associated Press reporting some relationships between regional leaders are more strained than President Trump's remarks would indicate.
00:06:01.900 Prime Minister Netanyahu's possible attendance at the summit reportedly a source of controversy.
00:06:06.400 President Trump backing Mr. Netanyahu multiple times throughout the whirlwind trip, including here, aboard Air Force One en route to Israel.
00:06:15.920 Your relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu has been through some ups and downs.
00:06:19.520 You had to get a little tough on him.
00:06:21.500 Where is that relationship now, and can you tell us about it?
00:06:23.860 It's very good.
00:06:24.420 He's a wartime president.
00:06:26.020 He did a very good job.
00:06:27.280 I had some disputes with him, and they were quickly settled, I can tell you that.
00:06:33.380 But as far as I'm concerned, I think he's done a great job.
00:06:36.680 I think he was the right person at this time.
00:06:39.240 You know, look, it's been this way for centuries.
00:06:43.120 You know, we're not talking about for 10 years, for five.
00:06:45.800 It's been this way for centuries.
00:06:47.740 And he did a great job.
00:06:48.960 And working with me, he was fantastic.
00:06:51.040 In remarks to the Israeli legislature, Mr. Trump asking Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Mr. Netanyahu.
00:06:58.880 The prime minister indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
00:07:04.460 The legal proceedings currently ongoing, though slowed down by the war.
00:07:08.920 And this man is a good man right here.
00:07:10.840 These two men are good men right here.
00:07:13.500 Hey, I have an idea.
00:07:15.620 Mr. President, why don't you give him a pardon?
00:07:18.280 Give him a pardon.
00:07:22.360 Come on.
00:07:23.100 By the way, that was not in the speech, as you probably know.
00:07:26.120 But I happen to like this gentleman right over here.
00:07:28.780 And it just seems to make so much sense.
00:07:31.080 You know, whether we like it or not, this has been one of the greatest wartime presidents.
00:07:37.620 This has been one of the greatest wartime presidents.
00:07:40.400 Domestically, more Democrats trickling in, the ones willing to show human decency and class, that is, to offer credit to President Trump for brokering the deal.
00:07:51.280 Former President Obama's Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, on CNN.
00:07:56.080 This achievement, and it is a significant achievement, would not have happened without United States leadership.
00:08:03.580 President Trump deserves a lot of credit for bringing the parties together.
00:08:07.900 Former President Bill Clinton, also releasing a statement, quote,
00:08:11.860 I'm grateful that a ceasefire has taken hold, that the last 20 hostages have been freed, and that desperately needed aid has now begun to flow into Gaza.
00:08:20.460 President Trump and his administration, Qatar, and other regional actors deserve great credit for keeping everyone engaged until the agreement was reached, end quote.
00:08:30.080 President Obama could take a lesson.
00:08:31.820 As for what comes next, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff saying he and Abraham Accords architect, presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, will remain active in the negotiations.
00:08:43.480 Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner, I'm curious, you've played such an important role in the tactical negotiations here.
00:08:49.120 What will your role be going forward, as a lot more has to be brought to the table here?
00:08:54.080 The minute we had inked the deal, Jared and I were already working on the implementation side of the deal.
00:08:59.880 So, we've dug in, we'll be here quite a bit.
00:09:03.880 That's at the direction of the president.
00:09:06.980 Coming up, the race for governor in Virginia tightens as Democrat Abigail Spanberger struggles to articulate her, or any, stance on men in women's spaces.
00:09:18.260 And wild weather slamming both sides of the country, with houses floating away in Alaska and parts of the East Coast drenched.
00:09:30.600 As President Trump is settling into his new administration, one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda is Democrat Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois.
00:09:39.700 And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new plan, a government takeover of your credit card.
00:09:48.540 Today, Americans have thousands of choices in credit cards, but they say Senator Durbin's plan will result in less competition and less security, which means more risk for your credit and your identity.
00:09:59.660 You can learn more for yourself at guardyourcard.com, and you could consider telling your senators to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late.
00:10:14.200 Democrat Abigail Spanberger's lead in the Virginia governor's race appears to be narrowing against Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears following the candidates' loan debate last week.
00:10:25.360 Right-leaning pollster Trafalgar showing Spanberger leading by just three points now, 48 to 45.
00:10:32.800 That same pollster, conducting a survey one week before, had Spanberger leading by five.
00:10:38.260 Spanberger holding a comfortable lead throughout the race.
00:10:41.040 However, a texting scandal involving the Democrat candidate for attorney general, Jay Jones, appearing to weigh down her race as well.
00:10:48.000 Recently published text messages sent by Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones in 2022
00:10:53.500 show him fantasizing about the former Republican State House Speaker getting shot and wishing death upon the Speaker's children.
00:11:02.080 Jones' own momentum also slowing since that news broke.
00:11:05.500 Trafalgar showing Jones dropping by five points, now trailing his Republican opponent, Jason Mieres.
00:11:11.940 Spanberger and Earl Sears facing off last Thursday in a debate.
00:11:15.760 The Democrat refusing to call on Jones to drop out or even to withdraw her endorsement of him.
00:11:21.700 Ms. Spanberger, I understand what you're saying about the voters, but for you yourself, do you still continue to endorse Jay Jones?
00:11:28.560 15 seconds, yes or no?
00:11:30.320 I, we are all running our individual races.
00:11:32.900 I believe my opponent has said that about her lieutenant governor nominee.
00:11:36.780 They're running up to every person to make their own decision.
00:11:40.900 I am running my race to serve Virginia, and that is what I intend to do.
00:11:45.560 WUSA 9 convening a focus group of 12 George Mason University students during the debate.
00:11:52.320 Eight began the night firmly backing Spanberger, one supporting Earl Sears, the other three undecided.
00:11:58.400 By the end of the night, enthusiasm for Spanberger noticeably waning.
00:12:02.940 Sears did better at like, when I heard her speaking, I felt like she cared more about the issues. 0.79
00:12:09.600 Spanberger didn't even reference Earl Sears by her name, it was ma'am.
00:12:14.060 Spanberger looked stiff.
00:12:16.140 Spanberger really failed to make an impression.
00:12:20.420 Spanberger also attempting to dodge a question about whether she would repeal an executive order signed earlier this month by Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, 0.91
00:12:28.700 banning men from women's bathrooms and sports teams.
00:12:31.700 On Sunday, an ABC affiliate offering Spanberger a do-over, asking for her response to Earl Sears' claim that Spanberger is fine with nude men in women's locker rooms.
00:12:43.140 Might want to just settle in with your coffee here, because this is going to take a while.
00:12:47.260 The reality is the federal government has to be clear in what is the real guidance available to our schools as it relates to use of locker rooms.
00:12:58.840 And at the end of the day, we have a president of the United States who is taking away and threatening federal funding.
00:13:06.900 And it isn't just to these public schools.
00:13:09.620 It is to our research institutions.
00:13:11.820 It's for cancer research.
00:13:13.800 It is for funding to conservation programs under USDA that are vital, vital, vital to so many of the farmers and producers who employ rotational grazing practices.
00:13:26.120 But when it comes down to understanding the implementation of how it is that our kids are coexisting in the classroom or on the sports field,
00:13:37.800 yes, I do think that in many cases, it's the local community that knows their community best
00:13:42.960 and can readily make decisions and provide guidance about how to ensure that all our kids are safe.
00:13:50.360 Cancer research and rotational grazing practices.
00:13:55.140 Did you hear an answer on whether she favors letting boys and men into girls and women-only spaces or sports?
00:14:01.360 Me neither.
00:14:02.640 Election day, just three weeks from today.
00:14:07.240 Wild weather in Alaska leading to more than 51 rescues with at least three people still unaccounted for.
00:14:13.780 As across the country on the East Coast, a Nor'easter brings powerful wind, rain, and flooding.

00:14:33.580 Multiple agencies still searching for the missing as recovery efforts continue across the region.
00:14:38.920 Governor Mike Dunleavy issuing a disaster declaration last Thursday in anticipation of the storm.
00:14:43.840 Meantime, about 3,400 miles eastward, a nor'easter storm system pounding the East Coast with heavy wind and rain,
00:14:52.140 coastal flood warnings, or advisories across 10 states.

00:15:24.220 From the Carolinas up through New England, thousands more experiencing power outages, road closures, and flight delays amid the strong gusts and rain.
00:15:32.520 The Weather Channel reporting conditions should begin improving today as the storm moves away from the coast.
00:15:40.760 And that'll do it for your AM update.
