00:00:00.000 How does Edward Jones do money differently?
00:00:03.520 Our financial advisor would listen to us
00:00:05.800 and actually really get to the meat and potatoes
00:00:08.280 of what our lifestyle is and what we believe in.
00:00:12.580 Knowing our financial advisor was always there.
00:00:16.320 We could call him with anything, at any time.
00:00:19.760 We do money differently by providing advice
00:00:22.180 that actually fits you.
00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily Dershynski, host of After Party and the Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up
00:00:36.940 Show on SiriusXM Channel 111. It's Thursday, September 10th, 2026, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:43.460 On election night, we're going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it.
00:00:49.700 America belongs to those who love it.
00:00:52.360 President Trump taking center stage at the GOP's first ever midterm convention,
00:00:56.600 rallying Republican voters with control of Congress on the line. 0.99
00:01:01.040 The AIs are basically doing the rogue Skynet behavior.
00:01:04.440 I know this sounds crazy, but it is not.
00:01:06.640 The people building the world's most powerful AI systems
00:01:09.240 now warning their own creations could wipe out humanity.
00:01:12.900 A new investigation alleging Benjamin Netanyahu 0.94
00:01:15.080 was warned of a major Hamas operation days before October 7th,
00:01:18.900 and a former attorney convicted of trying to shoot his ex-wife
00:01:22.060 at point-blank range in an attack captured on camera.
00:01:25.760 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM update.
00:01:32.820 Imagine this.
00:01:33.900 You're surrounded by fellow fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers.
00:01:39.940 Everyone remembers the game, and no one remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at 2 a.m.
00:01:45.680 when you wake up with a fever and your throat's on fire.
00:01:48.200 Now what? Urgent care? Closed.
00:01:50.700 ER? Hell no.
00:01:52.460 Telehealth? Maybe, but the pharmacy's closed.
00:01:55.400 That's where a medical emergency kit from the wellness company could come in.
00:02:00.000 These are not first aid kits.
00:02:01.480 They contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions, sinus and ear
00:02:07.940 infections, UTIs, stomach bugs, traveler's diarrhea, and more on hand before you need
00:02:14.060 them.
00:02:14.740 Use your doctor-developed guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemed
00:02:19.380 doctor standing by.
00:02:20.920 It's like an urgent care and drugstore at home.
00:02:23.420 When you're sick, traveling, or stranded, you could have used a medical emergency kit.

00:02:44.320 President Trump taking center stage in Dallas last night, delivering the opening night keynote
00:02:49.120 address at the Republican Party's first ever midterm convention.
00:02:52.240 The president using the historic gathering to make his case directly to voters, with
00:02:56.920 control of Congress and the future of his agenda on the line in November.
00:03:01.020 Mr. Trump seeking to energize the Republican base at a challenging political moment, with
00:03:05.600 a recent Reuters-Ipsos poll placing his approval rating at 33%, the lowest of his presidency.
00:03:11.880 Mr. Trump drawing a sharp ideological contrast with Democrats, vowing the United States will
00:03:16.620 never become a communist country.
00:03:18.420 In this election, the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group of candidates for the House and Senate ever to seek office.
00:03:28.020 These people are radical left communists.
00:03:30.220 But America has beaten communism before and we will beat it again.
00:03:34.180 We've beaten it before. 1.00
00:03:35.220 But these are people who do not care if your country is invaded by illegal immigrants, 1.00
00:03:41.360 if your home is burglarized, if your parks and city streets are turned to filth and squalor and death, 0.96
00:03:48.460 if your loved ones are pushed in front of a subway train in New York City
00:03:53.520 or stabbed in the middle of a field in any state you want to pick.
00:03:58.360 They don't care because they hate our country.
00:04:00.680 and they are Democrats and they're very, very wrong. On election night, we're going to prove
00:04:08.360 that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it.
00:04:14.780 But we're not going to let the communism happen. Not here, not in America, not in our 250th year.
00:04:24.380 Mr. Trump urging his supporters to approach November as though his own name were once again
00:04:29.380 on the ballot when i'm on the ticket republicans always do very well we won the presidency three
00:04:35.680 times but for some reason when a president wins even if he's really a good president or a great
00:04:42.440 president there aren't too many of them they don't win the midterms and nobody quite knows why
00:04:48.480 it's something deep down and psychological we can't let that string be broken so i'm asking you
00:04:56.700 to pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. Just one more time,
00:05:03.540 because if we lose, you're going to lose your border. You're going to lose your tax cuts.
00:05:09.120 You're going to lose your safety and security. Speaking in Texas, the president throwing his
00:05:14.840 support behind Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton. Democrats have dominated James
00:05:20.940 talafrico for the southern talafrico authored a plan to annihilate texas oil and gas that's good
00:05:27.860 i'm working my ass off to get you oil and gas and i got a guy that wants to end it
00:05:32.300 would texas be willing to end all oil and gas drilling
00:05:36.320 and he stated that he wants to totally dismantle capitalism dismantle quote capitalism he described
00:05:47.400 himself as a person who hates
00:05:49.320 Christianity, says that God 0.98
00:05:51.500 is transgender. He called 1.00
00:05:53.460 the American flag a complicated
00:05:55.360 symbol of hate, claimed
00:05:57.460 that the Ten Commandments are a form
00:05:59.520 of fascism, and when he
00:06:01.420 was asked what he loved most in the
00:06:03.460 world, he said, I love
00:06:05.340 transgender children.
00:06:07.060 So getting back, freedom-loving 0.98
00:06:09.220 patriots of Texas are going to 0.99
00:06:11.320 defeat Talafrico and
00:06:13.260 elect Ken Paxson to protect
00:06:15.420 the lone star star.
00:06:17.400 Looking beyond the midterms, Mr. Trump outlining his priorities for the remaining two years of his term.
00:06:47.400 no invasion of our country act and we will win the war on fraud and we will end no cash bail
00:06:57.400 and institute the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers human traffickers and murderers of
00:07:03.840 our law enforcement heroes and one way or the other before or after if it has to be after i hope
00:07:11.380 before. November 3rd election, we will pass the Save America Act. The president also paying
00:07:20.100 tribute to Charlie Kirk, with today marking one year since the Turning Point USA founder was
00:07:24.540 killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. So exactly one year ago tomorrow, a far left
00:07:31.040 extremist assassinated my great friend and conservative voice, Charlie Kirk, because
00:07:38.940 Charlie Kirk spoke the truth. What shocked millions of American was not only the fact that
00:07:45.700 Charlie was murdered as bad as it was, but also how many people made an excuse for it or cheered
00:07:52.680 for it. They were cheering some people, sick people for a brief moment. The mask came off
00:07:58.220 the radical left and you saw what they were really only all about. And now those same people
00:08:05.120 are trying to get power over you in this election, and they are all voting Democrat, okay? They're
00:08:12.520 all voting, every one of them, and you can't let it happen. We will not let them win, and in Charlie's
00:08:18.180 honor, I just want to say we love you, Charlie. The two-day convention continuing tonight with
00:08:24.340 Vice President J.D. Vance addressing the crowd before the president returns to deliver the
00:08:28.260 closing remarks. One former and two current researchers at one of the world's leading
00:08:34.440 artificial intelligence companies now sounding the alarm about the technology they helped create,
00:08:39.740 warning the race toward more powerful AI could end with humanity losing control.
00:08:45.280 Jacob Coxson announcing his resignation from Anthropic this week after spending the past
00:08:49.760 three years conducting AI research at both Anthropic and OpenAI. Coxson writing on X,
00:08:55.600 quote, neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving
00:09:00.180 superintelligence and gambling with our lives. Superintelligence referring to the still
00:09:05.380 theoretical point at which an AI system becomes more capable than even the most intelligent human
00:09:10.720 minds. Coxson warning those systems could soon, quote, hack anything, revolutionize any field
00:09:16.560 overnight, and acquire real power and resources. He claims the researchers building those systems
00:09:21.740 privately acknowledge the stakes, writing, quote, the people building AI earnestly believe that it
00:09:26.820 could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. Coxon, arguing many
00:09:32.040 employees at OpenAI have not fully grasped the potential consequences, while Anthropic understands
00:09:37.300 the risk but continues racing to reach superintelligence first because its leaders
00:09:41.600 reportedly do not trust competing companies to develop it safely. He is now urging AI researchers
00:09:47.100 to reject the idea that the race to superintelligence is inevitable, while raising the possibility of
00:09:52.120 a temporary ban on further advances in model capabilities if companies and governments cannot
00:09:57.540 reach an agreement to slow down. Two senior anthropic researchers then publicly backing
00:10:02.540 his central warning. Evan Hubinger, who leads Anthropic's alignment science team, writing,
00:10:07.860 Jacob is correct here. We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally
00:10:13.040 think it is greater than 10% within the next decade. Hubinger adding that he believes the
00:10:18.240 danger from today's publicly available models, remains low, but warning Anthropic does not yet
00:10:23.140 have a plan for keeping a superintelligent system aligned with human goals and is not clearly on
00:10:28.240 track to develop one. His primary concern involving so-called recursive self-improvement,
00:10:33.420 where an advanced AI begins improving its own capabilities, potentially allowing it to become
00:10:37.920 more powerful at a pace its human developers can no longer follow or control. Anthropic Scalable
00:10:44.160 oversight lead Samuel Marx, adding, quote, AI developers believe their technology could cause
00:10:48.960 human extinction or similarly bad outcomes. This could happen in the next few years.
00:10:54.160 Axios noting critics have long accused Anthropic and OpenAI of exaggerating the potential power of
00:10:59.020 their own technology to increase their valuations and encourage regulations favoring the industry's
00:11:04.240 largest companies. The warnings, however, following several documented cases of AI models behaving in
00:11:09.720 ways their developers neither requested nor anticipated. OpenAI acknowledging last month
00:11:14.420 that models undergoing internal cybersecurity testing circumvented controls intended to isolate
00:11:19.660 them from the internet, communicated through unauthorized channels, exploited vulnerabilities,
00:11:24.580 and compromised portions of OpenAI's own infrastructure and systems belonging to the
00:11:29.440 AI platform Hugging Face. OpenAI saying those models were operating with reduced safeguards
00:11:35.480 while announcing tighter security and greater monitoring in response.
00:11:39.540 Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris yesterday on Fox News
00:11:43.520 saying the danger is not limited to American AI companies,
00:11:47.340 pointing to similar warning signs emerging from China.
00:11:50.500 Anthropic is calling on all companies to stop down and evaluate
00:11:56.200 that's how disturbed they are about this. 0.64
00:11:58.920 And I imagine on some level China is.
00:12:01.500 They are to all encompassing, controlling society does not want this either. 0.71
00:12:05.940 That's exactly right. And when we were I was last with you in May and I talked about how China's model also went rogue. 0.80
00:12:11.460 It started during training hacking out of its system and then started mining for cryptocurrency when no one programmed it to do that. 0.80
00:12:18.680 Again, China's models do this. Our models do this. 0.78
00:12:21.460 This moment is like the August 6, 2001 memo that hit President George W. Bush's desk saying that Al Qaeda was planning attacks in the U.S.
00:12:29.380 This moment is the AIs are basically doing the rogue Skynet behavior.
00:12:34.320 I know this sounds crazy, but it is not.
00:12:36.560 This is the moment where we have to act.
00:12:38.540 We need someone strong enough and brave enough to do something about this right now.
00:12:41.840 The warnings arriving as public concern about artificial intelligence continues growing.
00:12:46.880 A new NBC News poll finding 70% of American adults are now more worried than excited about AI,
00:12:52.540 with roughly two-thirds saying the technology poses a high risk to society
00:12:56.580 and opposing the construction of an AI data center near their own community.
00:13:01.120 Coxon will join Megyn Kelly later today on The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:13:06.040 Coming up, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening a lawsuit over a disputed
00:13:11.580 report claiming he received advance warning of a major Hamas operation before October 7th,
00:13:16.500 and a former attorney convicted after trying to shoot his ex-wife at point-flank range
00:13:21.240 instead of crowded restaurants.
00:13:26.580 Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card.
00:13:35.560 They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
00:13:51.120 Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable.
00:13:56.960 The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing,
00:14:04.560 routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.

00:14:16.280 A new investigation from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz alleging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:14:23.540 personally received advance warning of a major Hamas operation before the October 7th massacre.
00:14:29.560 The report published Tuesday claiming the president of the United Arab Emirates
00:14:33.800 warned Netanyahu about the potential attack 10 days before it happened.
00:14:38.520 Netanyahu categorically denying the story, announcing yesterday that he instructed his
00:14:42.940 attorneys to file a libel lawsuit against Haaretz journalist Shlomi Eldar and others involved with
00:14:48.620 the report. The prime minister calling the allegations a, quote, malicious fabrication
00:14:52.780 and, quote, sinister libel intended to influence next month's election. Haaretz reportedly basing
00:14:58.900 its account on three senior foreign sources familiar with an alleged 45-minute call between
00:15:04.100 Netanyahu and UAE's president. The claims remaining disputed and not independently established,
00:15:09.600 with the New York Times saying it could not confirm the reported call between Netanyahu and
00:15:13.560 the UAE president. According to the report, Bin Zayed warning Netanyahu that then-Hamas leader
00:15:18.860 Yahya Sinwar was preparing a major operation against Israel. The UAE president reportedly
00:15:24.480 fearing the operation could kill large numbers of people and trigger consequences across the
00:15:28.940 Middle East, including damage to the normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab
00:15:33.320 nations. Netanyahu allegedly responding that the intelligence available to Israel
00:15:37.700 pointed instead toward possible Hamas activity in the West Bank,
00:15:41.780 while expressing confidence in the country's ability to respond to whatever developed.
00:15:45.780 The alleged warning reportedly originating with a Palestinian intermediary
00:15:49.320 who maintained contacts with both Hamas and Israeli security officials.
00:15:53.720 During one reported exchange, Sinwar using the Arabic word zilzal, meaning earthquake,
00:15:58.940 to characterize what Hamas was preparing.
00:16:01.600 He later allegedly boasted to the intermediary that an unprecedented and frightening operation was coming.
00:16:06.900 The information eventually reaching both the UAE leadership and Israel's Shin Bet security agency, with the message reportedly delivered to Shin Bet on September 15th.
00:16:16.780 Then-Shin Bet director Ronan Barr subsequently briefing Netanyahu about Sinwar's warning.
00:16:22.260 Israeli security leaders gathering two days later to consider how the country should respond.
00:16:26.860 According to Haaretz, Barr presenting officials with two possible responses,
00:16:30.980 carrying out an immediate operation against the perceived threat or reinforcing Israel's
00:16:35.000 security posture around Gaza and the West Bank. The meeting reportedly ending without a course
00:16:39.800 of action being selected. According to the investigation, Bin Zayed deciding to contact
00:16:44.520 Netanyahu personally after Emirati officials concluded Israel had not responded adequately
00:16:49.280 to the information. Barr and then-Israeli military chief Herzi Halivi both reportedly
00:16:54.380 telling Haaretz they were never informed about the alleged call between the two leaders.
00:16:58.640 The newspaper separately alleging that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel delivered another
00:17:04.080 warning to Netanyahu during roughly the same period, describing signs that Hamas was preparing
00:17:08.620 an extraordinary operation. Netanyahu allegedly maintaining that conditions in Gaza remained
00:17:14.340 manageable, with Israel's immediate security focus directed toward the West Bank. Netanyahu's
00:17:19.700 office, calling the report, quote, an absolute lie, insisting he neither spoke with Ben Zayed
00:17:24.120 during the period in question nor received a warning from him. Netanyahu now saying reviews
00:17:28.940 by his office, Israel's National Security Council, and his military secretary found no record of the
00:17:34.100 alleged conversation, his office adding that if the UAE possessed any relevant information,
00:17:39.080 it would have been shared through intelligence channels between the two countries. The UAE
00:17:43.160 foreign ministry neither confirming nor denying the alleged conversation, saying it does not
00:17:47.420 comment on media reports or speculation involving discussions between world leaders. The ministry
00:17:52.100 adding that the UAE and Israel maintain open lines of communication and that relevant intelligence
00:17:57.320 is shared when necessary. The dispute emerging less than two months before Israel's national
00:18:02.340 elections has questions surrounding what Netanyahu and the country's security establishment knew
00:18:06.900 before October 7th became a major campaign issue. Four opposition party leaders now citing the report
00:18:13.000 as they renew their call for an independent commission to investigate the attack.
00:18:17.420 Well, Netanyahu's government has resisted creating such a commission.
00:18:22.100 A former Ohio attorney now facing up to 25 years in prison
00:18:26.040 after trying to shoot his ex-wife at point-blank range inside a crowded restaurant.
00:18:31.420 A Lucas County jury last week convicting 43-year-old Matthew Exton
00:18:35.020 of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault,
00:18:37.960 and several accompanying firearm specifications.
00:18:40.380 The attack unfolding in April of last year during a soft opening at Sabira Restaurant in downtown Toledo.
00:18:47.460 According to Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates,
00:18:50.220 Exton first had a drink at the adjoining souk restaurant
00:18:52.640 when he spotted his ex-wife, Kate of Alone, dining next door with her parents.
00:18:57.240 Exton reportedly entering Sabira and ordering another drink to be delivered to their table,
00:19:01.640 then spitting toward the family as he walked out.
00:19:04.420 He later returned with a loaded handgun heading directly toward the table.
00:19:08.600 The surveillance video showing Exton standing over his seated ex-wife,
00:19:12.480 extending the gun toward her face, and apparently trying to fire.
00:19:15.860 When the weapon failed to discharge, Exton pulling it back and appearing to manipulate it
00:19:20.820 before a waiter rushed him from behind and tackled him to the floor.
00:19:24.900 Other employees and diners then joining in to restrain Exton until police arrived.
00:19:30.060 Investigators later determining the safety was still engaged,
00:19:33.220 with one round reportedly in the chamber and seven more in the magazine.
00:19:37.460 Go to megankelly.com to watch the shocking security footage from the incident.
00:19:41.500 Ex-wife Valone breaking down on the witness stand as she described the moment she thought her life was over. 0.92
00:19:46.640 He made a beeline right for our table and he took a gun out of his freaking coat and he pointed it right at me.
00:20:02.780 and i i saw his finger moving i mean i saw his eyes i saw the frustration in his eyes when it 0.91
00:20:09.700 didn't go off right in that split second they tackled him and they held him down
00:20:14.620 and he screamed we're all screaming they kept yelling gun i yelled gun over and over again
00:20:23.580 because i knew i was dead i knew i knew i was dead and i didn't want anyone else to get hurt
00:20:29.340 And I thought, I thought if they came, if other people came, they'd get hurt.
00:20:35.600 Exton testifying in his own defense and acknowledging that he thrust the weapon toward Valone's face
00:20:40.040 while reportedly insisting he never intended to pull the trigger.
00:20:43.860 Exton claiming he merely wanted to frighten his ex-wife
00:20:46.280 into moving faster on the sale of their former home in Michigan
00:20:49.620 so he could collect his share of the proceeds.
00:20:52.060 The jury convicting Exton of attempting to murder Valone
00:20:55.320 along with felonious assault counts involving Valone and her mother.
00:20:59.340 jurors acquitting him of the remaining assault count involving Fallone's father,
