00:00:28.760 Nice travels.
00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone.
00:00:33.960 I'm Megan Kelly.
00:00:34.900 It's Monday, October 13th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:39.500 And it's an honor to be involved, and we're going to have an amazing time.
00:00:43.300 President Trump in Israel and Egypt today celebrating the historic deal to end the war between Israel
00:00:49.440 and Hamas and secure the release of hostages in Gaza.

00:00:57.300 Pritzker jabbing President Trump as the two sides battle in a courtroom over deploying the National Guard to Chicago.
00:01:03.520 And former President Biden begins a new treatment for cancer.
00:01:06.780 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:10.140 You know all those fad diets.
00:01:15.300 Half of Americans do it.
00:01:17.040 And if you do it enough, you could be at risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, and stroke.
00:01:21.960 Weight cycling is when you lose 10 or more pounds, but then you put the pounds back on plus a couple more.
00:01:28.140 That puts tremendous strain on your organs and can lead to serious health issues.
00:01:33.020 Bottom line, most people need help to stop weight cycling.
00:01:35.880 And this is why I want to tell you about non-prescription lean created by doctors.
00:01:41.440 Lean is an oral supplement, not a GLP-1 injectable.
00:01:45.760 It uses studied ingredients, which lean says target weight loss in three powerful ways.
00:01:50.680 Maintaining healthy blood sugar, helping control appetite and cravings, burning fat by converting it to energy.

00:02:15.560 President Trump making a brief trip to Israel and Egypt today, celebrating the historic deal between Israel and Hamas,
00:02:22.520 the first phase of ending the war and releasing the remaining hostages just over two years after the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack that led to the Israeli invasion.
00:02:33.140 The president speaking to reporters briefly from the tarmac prior to departure.
00:02:37.160 This is a very special event.
00:02:39.240 The Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering.
00:02:42.480 Everybody's cheering at one time.
00:02:43.940 That's never happened before.
00:02:45.580 Usually if you have one cheering, the other isn't.
00:02:48.880 The other is the opposite.
00:02:50.720 This is the first time everybody is amazed and they're thrilled.
00:02:54.880 And it's an honor to be involved.
00:02:57.220 And we're going to have an amazing time.
00:02:58.800 And it's going to be something that's never, never happened before.
00:03:02.580 It's unclear at exactly what time the hostages will be released,
00:03:07.380 though the deadline, at least, to release all 20 living hostages set at noon Jerusalem time today or 7 p.m. Eastern, according to the terms of the deal.
00:03:17.280 The bodies of the 28 deceased hostages to be released later,
00:03:21.740 the Israeli coordinator for the hostages and the missing say some of the bodies may take time to recover as they could be buried under rubble.
00:03:29.300 President Trump first meeting with the newly freed hostages and families before delivering remarks to the Israeli Congress.
00:03:37.360 Then Mr. Trump departing for Egypt, where he is co-chairing the Gaza Peace Summit along with the president of Egypt.
00:03:44.160 Leaders from around the world joining in the summit aimed at bolstering peace and stability in the Middle East.
00:03:50.060 It is unclear if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will attend.
00:03:54.180 Hamas leadership has said it will not join.
00:03:56.400 Once all of the hostages are released, Israel is expected to begin releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
00:04:04.280 Over the weekend, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Abraham Accord's architect and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
00:04:11.320 who mediated the deal on behalf of the United States,
00:04:14.700 speaking to thousands of Israelis gathered on Saturday in Tel Aviv.
00:04:19.460 Thank you, Trump! Thank you, Trump!
00:04:23.120 Witkoff appearing visibly emotional, hearing the crowd chant,
00:04:27.360 Thank you, Trump!
00:04:31.180 That same crowd later booing at mention of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
00:04:35.960 Here, Witkoff and Kushner.
00:04:37.880 Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary, a moment that many thought was impossible.
00:04:44.720 Yet here we stand, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen.
00:04:51.400 A peace born not out of politics, but out of courage.
00:04:56.840 The courage of those who refuse to give up hope.
00:05:00.000 When things got tough and we ran into brick walls, every time that happened, we just said,
00:05:05.180 let's make a new plan, let's try again.
00:05:07.160 What will rise from this trauma will be a level of greatness, a level of achievement,
00:05:12.180 a level of impact on the world, a level of leadership that Israel has never seen.
00:05:16.820 The Wall Street Journal reporting on the behind-the-scenes negotiations leading Hamas to
00:05:22.240 finally agree to giving up its most valuable bargaining chip, the hostages.
00:05:27.420 Quote, Egypt and Qatar warned the head of Hamas that if Hamas did not approve the plan,
00:05:32.820 it would be stripped of all political and diplomatic cover.
00:05:36.740 Qatar and Turkey would no longer host the group's political leadership,
00:05:39.820 and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a say in Gaza's post-war governance.
00:05:46.000 Much discussion and negotiation remains in determining the future of Gaza,
00:05:50.280 the weekend events only marking the first phase of the Trump administration's 20-point plan
00:05:55.720 to establish lasting peace.
00:05:58.020 Fox News reporting over the weekend, U.S. troops will oversee the ceasefire.
00:06:02.900 Vice President J.D. Vance Sunday on Meet the Press elaborating on what that looks like.
00:06:07.600 We're not planning to put boots on the ground.
00:06:10.020 What we already have is a U.S. central command.
00:06:12.120 We already have people in that region of the world.
00:06:14.440 They're going to monitor the terms of the ceasefire.
00:06:16.780 They're going to monitor, ensure that the humanitarian aid is flowing.
00:06:20.860 They actually confirmed yesterday that Israel pulled back to the agreed-upon lines,
00:06:26.260 which, of course, is the first condition.
00:06:27.940 The second condition, or the second term, is for the hostages to be released.
00:06:31.800 So we have people in that region of the world who are going to monitor parts of this peace proposal.
00:06:36.780 So we've actually had, and this is one of the great successes of the president's diplomacy,
00:06:41.160 from Indonesia to the Gulf Arab states, we've had a number of Muslim-majority countries
00:06:46.680 offer to step up and have them put troops on the ground to secure Gaza.
00:06:51.120 It's not going to be necessary for American troops to be in Gaza.
00:06:54.780 Back in the U.S., even some Democrats conceding the historic nature of this deal,
00:07:00.000 offering credit to President Trump.
00:07:01.700 Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris,
00:07:06.660 and U.S. Senator from Arizona Mark Kelly.
00:07:09.680 It's a really significant first step, and I really commend President Trump and his administration,
00:07:18.580 as well as Arab leaders in the region,
00:07:22.500 for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward.
00:07:29.300 I don't think that we should hold in credit where it's due.
00:07:33.560 And I commend the people who have been a part of this process.
00:07:37.900 I'd commend the Qataris, the Egyptians, and the president.
00:07:40.880 I think he should get a lot of credit.
00:07:42.600 I mean, this was his deal.
00:07:43.880 He worked this out.
00:07:45.220 He sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, you know, over to negotiate this.
00:07:50.420 And it's so far has gone well.
00:07:52.240 Barack Obama put out a generic post on X,
00:07:55.680 failing to mention President Trump by name.
00:07:58.020 Joe Biden's Secretary of State, Antony Blinken,
00:08:01.620 commended Mr. Trump for, quote,
00:08:03.520 building on the plan the Biden administration developed
00:08:06.240 after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.
00:08:12.180 In other words, it was really Mr. Biden's accomplishment.
00:08:15.780 Thanks.
00:08:17.720 Coming up, as the Trump administration battles in court
00:08:20.860 over deploying the National Guard in Chicago,
00:08:23.660 Vice President J.D. Vance not ruling out invoking the Insurrection Act.

00:09:44.280 The Trump administration granted a temporary mixed ruling from an appeals court
00:09:49.300 in the legal battle over the National Guard's deployment to Chicago.
00:09:53.000 On Saturday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals allowing Mr. Trump to federalize the National Guard
00:09:58.460 in Illinois, something the lower court had banned,
00:10:02.280 but leaving in place the ban on actually deploying them to the city of Chicago,
00:10:06.720 at least for now.
00:10:09.200 For the time being, they will sit at their base in Elwood, Illinois,
00:10:13.020 about 55 miles southwest of Chicago.
00:10:16.000 Quote,
00:10:16.640 Members of the National Guard do not need to return to their home states
00:10:19.940 unless further ordered by a court to do so, the appellate court ruled.
00:10:24.940 About 300 federalized Illinois National Guard members and 200 more from the state of Texas
00:10:30.280 are in Illinois right now, deployed by President Trump to Chicago last Wednesday.
00:10:35.600 White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson releasing a statement in response,
00:10:40.560 quote,
00:10:41.020 Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness that local leaders like Pritzker have refused
00:10:46.840 to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers
00:10:52.900 and assets.
00:10:54.320 President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,
00:10:58.560 and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court.
00:11:01.880 The administration adding it does plan to appeal this ruling.
00:11:06.440 Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker calling the deployment an unconstitutional overreach of
00:11:11.000 federal authority.
00:11:12.540 President Trump teasing federal intervention in Chicago for months,
00:11:16.480 citing high crime and gang violence, calling the city a war zone.
00:11:20.280 For 13 straight years, Chicago recording the most homicides of any city in the U.S.,
00:11:26.080 with 573 in 2024 alone.
00:11:30.520 In early September, Homeland Security launching Operation Midway Blitz,
00:11:35.160 surging federal ICE agents to the sanctuary city.
00:11:38.500 Protests in opposition to ICE regularly escalating to violence and clashes with law enforcement.
00:11:44.340 Four arrested Friday on charges of resisting and obstruction following scuffles outside of the
00:11:49.040 facility, according to ABC7.
00:11:51.160 On Saturday, officials arresting at least 15 people outside of the Chicago ICE facility.
00:11:57.440 News Nation reporting some of the charges include criminal damage to government property
00:12:01.660 and disobeying police orders.
00:12:04.480 President Trump last week, posting to Truth Social, quote,
00:12:07.760 Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.
00:12:11.800 Governor Pritzker also.
00:12:13.740 Governor Pritzker asked to respond to that yesterday on ABC.
00:12:17.560 Are you worried the Justice Department is going to come after you?
00:12:20.120 It's true that the president says things and sometimes he follows through on those threats
00:12:24.920 and he certainly has the power of the presidency.
00:12:26.960 He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution.
00:12:31.380 And so am I afraid?
00:12:33.980 I am not afraid.
00:12:35.240 Do I think that he could do it?
00:12:36.740 He might.
00:12:37.920 But as I've said before, come and get me.
00:12:40.760 I mean, you're dead wrong, Mr. President and Mr. Vice President.
00:12:44.900 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is currently weighing a case that asks whether Mr. Trump has
00:12:50.120 the right to call up and deploy the National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon.
00:12:55.120 That panel at oral argument seemed ready to side with the Trump administration.
00:12:59.760 The Seventh Circuit, however, not quite as deferential to the commander in chief.
00:13:04.120 Vice President J.D. Vance yesterday on Meet the Press not ruling out the administration invoking the
00:13:09.300 Insurrection Act, an emergency power that allows the president to use the National Guard as domestic law
00:13:15.700 enforcement in certain circumstances.
00:13:18.500 So are you seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act?
00:13:21.880 Well, the president's looking at all of his options right now.
00:13:24.440 He hasn't felt he needed to.
00:13:25.720 But we have to remember, why are we talking about this, Kristen?
00:13:28.740 Because crime has gotten out of control in our cities, because our ICE agents,
00:13:32.380 the people who are enforcing our immigration laws, have faced a 1,000 percent increase in violent attacks against them.
00:13:39.540 And we have people right now who are going out there, who are doing the job the president asked
00:13:43.660 them to do, who are enforcing our immigration laws.
00:13:46.340 They're being assaulted.
00:13:47.440 They're being beaten.
00:13:48.540 They're being shot at.
00:13:49.680 The problem here is not the Insurrection Act or whether we actually invoke it or not.
00:13:54.260 The problem is the fact that the entire media in this country, cheered on by a few far-left
00:13:59.700 lunatics, have made it OK to tee off on American law enforcement.
00:14:04.100 We cannot accept that in the United States of America.
00:14:06.580 We want everybody, black or white, rich or poor, to be safe in the United States of America.
00:14:11.820 Invoking the Insurrection Act would almost certainly result in further legal challenges.
00:14:18.700 Former President Joe Biden undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment for prostate cancer,
00:14:24.200 a spokeswoman announced on Saturday.
00:14:26.700 The regimen, which began last month, is expected to take several weeks, according to The New York Times.
00:14:31.560 Mr. Biden announcing the diagnosis in May, stage 4 cancer, that they said had spread to the bone.
00:14:38.480 At the time, the Biden office referring to the disease as, quote, aggressive.
00:14:43.060 Last month, the 82-year-old former president had cancerous skin lesions surgically removed from his
00:14:48.620 forehead.
00:14:49.620 Mr. Biden's office disclosing that he still plans to appear at two upcoming events.
00:14:53.960 The advanced nature of President Biden's disease stunning the medical community upon announcement
00:14:59.680 of the diagnosis.
00:15:01.280 Experts pointing out this particular kind of cancer typically develops very slowly, leading
00:15:06.200 many to wonder how White House doctors could have missed it if they missed it.
00:15:10.780 Dr. David Samadhi, a leading prostate cancer surgeon, telling The Megyn Kelly Show in May,
00:15:15.660 the timeline of discovery, as described by the Biden office, does not add up.
00:15:20.440 If he was just a week ago, they had the prostate nodule.
00:15:25.540 Within a week, they did the biopsy and they got the disease.
00:15:28.520 So very quickly, within all one week, based on the story that they're telling, they've been
00:15:33.520 able to do the staging part and find out if the cancer is spread to the bone or not.
00:15:37.600 But you have to give the injections and see if the patient responds.
00:15:41.080 We don't know what his PSA is.
00:15:42.720 If the PSA starts to go down, then that's when you know that he's hormonal sensitive.
00:15:47.880 I don't know how they will be able to give all of this information from diagnosis to
00:15:53.120 treatment to all of that within one week.
00:15:55.860 The story doesn't make any sense.
00:15:57.940 President Biden's health disclosures, or lack thereof, remain a matter of concern even
00:16:02.720 after leaving office.
00:16:04.300 The House Oversight Committee now investigating whether his apparent cognitive decline was
00:16:08.380 downplayed and concealed while he was in office.
00:16:11.300 Hello, it was.
00:16:12.380 And whether senior staffers improperly used the auto pen without consent from the president.
00:16:18.720 Mr. Biden's White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, in July, pleading the fifth in an
00:16:24.160 Oversight Committee deposition.
00:16:27.920 And that'll do it for your AM update.
00:16:29.740 I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:16:30.660 Join me back here for The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Triumph Channel 111 at noon east,
