00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly.

00:00:35.500 It's Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.

00:00:39.740 Boys, boys, girls are girls. This job did not belong competing against those girls, period.

00:00:45.120 As parents rail against a biological boy competing in girls' high school track meets,

00:00:49.860 President Trump sends Governor Gavin Newsom a warning.

00:00:52.520 The FDA announces updated COVID vaccine recommendations.

00:00:56.220 And week three of the Sean Diddy Combs trial kicks off with explosive testimony from a former employee.

00:01:03.160 I don't hear no.

00:01:06.280 I eat no for breakfast.

00:01:08.640 Kamala Harris dishes some words of whiz... 0.88

00:01:11.000 Well, some words in Australia.

00:01:13.360 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.

00:01:16.220 Tax Day may have passed, but for millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning.

00:01:24.860 If you missed the April 15th deadline or still owe back taxes, the IRS is ramping up enforcement,

00:01:31.160 and every day you wait might make things worse.

00:01:33.560 With over 5,000 new tax liens filed daily and tools like property seizures, bank levies, and wage garnishments,

00:01:40.080 you don't want to mess around, okay?

00:01:41.520 The good news is there's still time for Tax Network USA to help.

00:02:11.960 You may have missed April 15th, but you haven't run out of options.

00:02:15.300 Let Tax Network USA help before the IRS makes the next move.

00:02:22.560 President Trump calling out Democrat Governor of California Gavin Newsom

00:02:26.140 for allowing male athletes in his state to compete against females.

00:02:29.800 He says in violation of his historic February 5th executive order entitled

00:02:34.200 Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports. 0.99

00:02:36.500 The president posting on Truth Social, quote,

00:02:38.880 This week, a transitioned male athlete at a major event won everything

00:02:42.880 and is now qualified to compete in the state finals next weekend.

00:02:46.760 This is not fair and totally demeaning to women and girls.

00:02:50.100 Please be hereby advised that large-scale federal funding will be held back,

00:02:54.600 maybe permanently, if the executive order on this subject matter is not adhered to.

00:02:59.080 The president adding an order to local authorities, who that is remains unclear,

00:03:04.460 to, if necessary, not allow the transitioned person to compete in the state finals,

00:03:11.120 which again are this weekend.

00:03:12.920 The male athlete in question, A.B. Hernandez from Harupa Valley outside of Los Angeles.

00:03:18.760 Hernandez placed first in the women's triple jump and long jump 0.66

00:03:22.680 at the California Interscholastic Federation, or CIF, Southern Section Masters this past weekend.

00:03:29.580 He jumped four feet longer in the triple jump than the real winner, Reese Hogan,

00:03:33.780 and more than five inches farther on the long jump than real winner, Katie McGinnis. 1.00

00:03:38.860 CIF Southern Section, in an obvious effort to appease angry parents,

00:03:42.960 on Tuesday, just hours after Trump's post, announced a new pilot entry process,

00:03:48.520 allowing, quote, biologically female student-athletes to compete in the upcoming 1.00

00:03:52.440 state track and field championship that missed out on qualifying initially because of a trans-athlete.

00:03:59.940 So, these girls will have yet another chance to compete against this biological boy, 0.90

00:04:04.720 which doesn't exactly solve their problem.

00:04:07.400 As of now, Hernandez is still allowed to participate.

00:04:10.120 Here's what he said earlier this year about the state championships.

00:04:14.600 I just keep telling myself, you are number one, and it's yours to lose.

00:04:18.640 It's just to keep my phases longer, push more, work out more, get further,

00:04:25.240 hopefully hit a 41 this year if it's possible, preferably at state so that you can possibly win.

00:04:30.920 Hernandez has lost some events this season but has mostly dominated,

00:04:34.680 winning one triple jump event by eight feet in February.

00:04:37.960 Hernandez's wins at these events, a major source of contention in the community,

00:04:43.040 one furious mother confronting A.B.'s mother at a March event.

00:04:46.320 I have a right to speak truth. Boys and boys, girls are girls. This year I did not belong competing

00:04:52.020 against those girls, period. What a coward of a woman you are allowing them. Telling girls 1.00

00:04:56.620 to go and compete against a boy? How embarrassing. Mother, mother, stand up like a mother. I am a

00:05:04.000 mother. I'm protecting girls. 0.96

00:05:05.680 Some parents and spectators erupting with vocal support for the female athletes at different

00:05:10.400 meets throughout the season, making their stance clear from the sidelines. After a May 17th meet,

00:05:15.800 Reese Hogan, who officially finished second in the triple jump behind Hernandez, a result that was

00:05:21.260 repeated last weekend, stood for just a moment atop the first place podium after the medal ceremony

00:05:26.960 was over, receiving thunderous applause from the crowd in a show of solidarity. Hogan set a new

00:05:33.140 personal record and school record with her jump. Kate McGinnis, the second place finisher in the long

00:05:38.300 jump, also at the May 17th meet, speaking out on Fox News after her loss.

00:05:42.860 I have nothing against this athlete as a person. I have nothing against the trans community.

00:05:48.740 I watched AB do their jump and the numbers on the screen lit up to 19 feet, two inches, which

00:05:55.000 was the furthest mark of that day. Normally something typical that long jump athletes will do

00:06:00.820 is they start a clapping sequence kind of to gain momentum from the crowd and kind of feel the rhythm

00:06:07.020 of the jump. And so I did that and I ran down the runway. I landed and I watched them measure my mark

00:06:14.440 and it was 18-9. And I just remember thinking that there was nothing else that I could do,

00:06:19.740 that that was it. Winning CIF has always been a goal of mine. And I just, I wasn't able to compete

00:06:26.680 with someone who is genetically different than me. 0.99

00:06:29.080 AB Hernandez is delighted with his wins, calling claims that he has male advantage idiotic because 0.99

00:06:35.340 sometimes he has lost. His mother adding, quote, her identity does not give her an advantage. It gives 0.97

00:06:42.080 her courage. Corrected with the proper pronouns, that sentence reads, his identity doesn't give him

00:06:47.880 an advantage. It gives him courage. In March, Governor Newsom admitted to conservative influencer

00:06:54.120 Charlie Kirk that boys competing in girls sports is deeply unfair. The governor following up on those

00:06:59.460 comments a month later at a press conference saying the issue was low on his priority list

00:07:03.880 due to the small number of trans athletes in California. Mr. Newsom also saying his administration

00:07:09.580 just can't figure out how to handle the issue.

00:07:12.700 We work with experts. We literally were talking to some international Olympic committee experts. We

00:07:17.360 talked to our own state experts. We were trying to figure this out and couldn't figure it out.

00:07:21.940 And that's my point of view, that I just couldn't figure out how to, quote, unquote, make this fair.

00:07:28.280 According to California's legislative analyst's office, the state received roughly $8 billion from

00:07:33.880 the federal government for K-12 education for the 24 to 25 school year, about 6 percent of total

00:07:39.880 K-12 funding. While the Trump administration has signaled it may withhold funds from states that defy

00:07:45.420 his Title IX protections for female athletes, it remains unclear how much of that $8 billion California

00:07:51.480 could lose. Any move to freeze funding would likely trigger an immediate legal battle.

00:07:58.720 The Trump administration on Tuesday announcing an update to COVID vaccine recommendations.

00:08:04.260 As of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women 0.90

00:08:09.140 has been removed from the CDC-recommended immunization schedule.

00:08:14.660 Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot,

00:08:21.080 despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children.

00:08:27.040 There's no evidence healthy kids need it today. And most countries have stopped recommending it for

00:08:32.240 children. We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America

00:08:37.940 healthy again. The FDA's new framework for COVID vaccine wrecks, as published in the New England

00:08:43.480 Journal of Medicine, still recommends the vaccine be made available for Americans over age 65 and younger

00:08:50.000 people with one or more high-risk factors. High-risk factors include obesity and mental health conditions

00:08:55.600 like depression. The Trump administration estimates that 100 million to 200 million Americans will have

00:09:01.760 access to vaccines based on these guidelines. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty McCary, who co-authored

00:09:07.660 the New England Journal of Medicine piece, elaborating further on the Trump administration's thought process

00:09:12.520 last week in front of the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug

00:09:17.180 Administrations and related agencies. It's been four to five years since we've had a randomized control

00:09:22.640 trial. And so we don't know the right number of boosters that a healthy American should take. Do we believe

00:09:29.540 in giving 80 mRNA shots to a healthy girl born today in her average lifespan of 80 years? Is that the

00:09:35.360 right answer? There's been no data to support it. So we are doing our job to say that if we're going to

00:09:42.180 approve a COVID vaccine for younger, healthy Americans, we'd like to see some clinical trial data.

00:09:50.320 Should we blindly rubber stamp a vaccine that creates a new protein in the body every year for the rest of

00:09:57.360 our lives for the next 100 years? I don't think so. Coming up, former Sean Diddy Combs employee Capricorn

00:10:05.320 Clark takes the stand in the mogul's criminal trial, providing more insight into the alleged incident

00:10:10.520 between Combs and musician Kid Cudi. And Kamala Harris spreads her words of, she spreads her words in the land

00:10:18.760 down under. I would like to introduce you to a new brand of Angus beef. You can order it directly from Riverbend

00:10:30.080 Ranch, which is located just a few miles from West Yellowstone, Montana. Riverbend Ranch raises their cattle

00:10:36.740 a lot differently than most ranches. For example, they never use artificial growth hormones or antibiotics. They track the

00:10:43.500 health of every animal from the day it is born and can guarantee that it has been healthy every day of

00:10:48.580 its life. And they handle their animals humanely and with respect. But most important is the quality

00:10:54.500 of the beef. You'll find it as tender and flavorful as the finest restaurants. And that's because they

00:11:00.540 have spent the last 35 years selecting cattle for tenderness and flavor, aging their beef to perfection

00:11:05.760 for 21 days. The result is some of the most tender and flavorful beef you have ever tasted. You cannot buy

00:11:12.480 beef like this in a grocery store. And since it is shipped directly from the ranch to your home,

00:11:17.440 you get a much better price than going through the middleman. Order directly from RiverbendRanch.com.

00:11:23.420 Use promo code Megan to get 20 bucks off your first order. That's RiverbendRanch.com, code Megan.

00:11:31.360 And be prepared. Once you taste it, you're going to be coming back for more. Again, that's RiverbendRanch.com,

00:11:37.600 code Megan. Tuesday marked the beginning of week three of the Sean Diddy Combs criminal trial.

00:11:46.020 Lead prosecutor Maureen Comey, yes, that Comey, she's the daughter of former FBI director James

00:11:51.360 Comey, telling the judge the prosecution is ahead of schedule, anticipating resting its case in five

00:11:57.260 weeks instead of six. Combs has pleaded not guilty. Taking the stand for the full day on Tuesday,

00:12:02.900 Capricorn Clark, former assistant to Combs and Ventura. Ventura, of course, the prosecution's

00:12:08.720 star witness who took the stand the first week of the trial. Clark testifying that she was once

00:12:13.740 harshly shoved by Combs, threatened by him, subjected to a five-day lie detector test at his

00:12:19.500 direction, and more, including a December 2011 incident involving Combs and Kid Cuddy. Clark claiming

00:12:26.320 she was kidnapped by Combs, furious after finding out star witness Cassie Ventura was in a relationship

00:12:31.400 with musician Kid Cuddy. Clark telling the jury that Combs, brandishing a gun, showed up at her

00:12:37.180 home and directed her to, quote, get dressed, we're going to kill that N-word, saying they drove to

00:12:41.940 Kid Cuddy's house where Combs entered, but Kid Cuddy was not there. The testimony dovetailing what

00:12:47.480 Kid Cuddy told jurors last week, that there was a break-in at his home and he suspected Combs.

00:12:53.280 On cross-examination, the defense suggesting Clark's horrific memory of Combs don't exactly line up

00:12:59.080 with her more recent emails to him, pointing to a 2014 email from Clark to Combs after Combs fired

00:13:05.880 her in 2012 that reads, quote, hopefully you'll forgive me soon. It's been long enough. I feel

00:13:11.220 like you've forgiven everyone else but me. Clark testifying earlier in the day that she was

00:13:15.920 officially fired for a vacation she took, but saying she believes the real reason was because Combs was

00:13:21.440 upset that she knew about Ventura's relationship with Kid Cuddy and did not tell Combs. Clark, breaking into

00:13:28.300 tears several times throughout cross-examination. Another email from Clark to Combs in 2015, quote,

00:13:34.060 my hope for this year is that you make good on your promise to get over things and actually be my

00:13:38.760 friend again. Clark telling the defense she wanted to work with Combs again because she missed working

00:13:43.980 in the music industry. The defense also calling up a 2021 text message in which Clark writes to Combs,

00:13:50.500 quote, did you ever know that I had the biggest crush on you before I started working for you?

00:13:55.160 On Redirect, Clark telling prosecutors she ultimately returned to work for Bad Boy Records

00:14:00.300 because she could not find work elsewhere, saying through sobs, quote, he held all the power as it

00:14:06.320 related to me. If convicted, Combs faces up to life in prison. Former Vice President Kamala Harris

00:14:14.200 resurfacing on Sunday, this time in the land down under. Ms. Harris appearing at the Australian

00:14:19.280 real estate conference where tickets reportedly went for $999 to $1,695 a piece. It's unclear exactly

00:14:28.320 why Ms. Harris was invited to participate in a Q&A session at the two-day event, but video surfacing

00:14:34.660 on X shows the former Veep in her familiar free-flowing form. In this clip here, Ms. Harris answers the 1.00

00:14:42.300 question about the importance of humility.

00:14:44.400 You have the ability to understand the context in which you live, the context in which others live.

00:14:50.660 You're more likely to then connect with them and understand what's important to them.

00:14:56.580 This is the thing that I've also known about life and I'm sure everyone here understands.

00:15:02.140 The vast majority of human beings are very intelligent, regardless of their education level,

00:15:07.660 regardless of where they're from, and intelligent enough to know whether when you are looking

00:15:14.940 at them, you are looking at them with a level of respect. They will know that you are someone

00:15:22.440 who is actually interested in their life and their reality and their fears and their dreams

00:15:30.840 or not. It requires you to be self-aware enough to understand that you may not understand their

00:15:36.780 life. Yes. And then do some work to figure out how you can understand it better.

00:15:42.380 Ms. Harris also asked to offer advice to the young women in the room,

00:15:45.920 trotting out this familiar line of hers.

00:15:48.500 I don't hear no. I eat no for breakfast. I don't hear no until maybe the 10th time.

00:15:58.560 I cannot tell you the many times that it has been explicitly or implicitly said to me.

00:16:08.100 It's not your time.

00:16:11.440 You're not ready. They're not ready.

00:16:15.980 Nobody like you has done this.

00:16:18.520 And then what I love, oh, it's going to be a lot of hard work.

00:16:21.280 Don't you listen.

00:16:24.660 24-year-old real estate agent Ella Cass, who attended the talk, giving her impression to

00:16:28.900 the Daily Mail Australia, quote,

00:16:30.760 The way she speaks, I don't know if it's media training, but she will answer a question,

00:16:35.020 try to tell a story, and then repeat her answer. Honestly, I lost focus every time she was explaining

00:16:40.880 her answer. Honestly, Ella, we did too. But we look forward to the debut of Ms. Harris's

00:16:47.160 Australian accent. G'day, mates. And that'll do it for your AM update. I'm Megan Kelly. Join me back
