What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Wednesday, October 29th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
We have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare, not just everything should be solely for climate.
Leading climate activist Bill Gates changing his tune about the dire nature of climate change. On the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to answer. The House Oversight Committee drops its report on the Biden White House's use of the auto pen. An early 2028 Democratic frontrunner has emerged. Wait until you hear who it is.
What does Bill Gates' new memo say about abandoning 'doomsday' climate rhetoric?
And President Trump appeals his felony conviction in New York. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. 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. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new plan, a government takeover of your credit card. 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. 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.
Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft, in a stunning memo dropping what he calls tough truths about climate change in an obvious reversal of his prior stance. The letter beginning, quote, There's a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this. In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us. Just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature. Yes, Bill, wherever did people get those doomsday views from? Oh, wait, it was from you. You and people like former Vice President Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, and President Obama, to name just a few.
So certainly by the end of the century, you'll have permanent die-offs of all these coral ecosystems.
No beach you ever went to will be around. We're still putting 162 million tons into it every single day. And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.
The future seems somewhat bleak. There are times where I am doubtful that humanity can get its act together before it's too late. And images of dystopia start creeping into my dreams.
It's an all-out effort, you know, like a world war, but it's us against greenhouse gases.
Gates' Tuesday letter admitting, quote, Someone check on AOC immediately. Ahead of the upcoming climate summit next month in Brazil… Gates attempting to completely shift the global conversation around the left's pet issue. More from the letter, quote, Although climate change will hurt poor people more than anyone else, for the vast majority of them, it will not be the only or even the biggest threat to their lives and welfare. The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been. Reminder, Bill Gates once backed a venture to spray dust into the atmosphere in order to block the sun to cool the planet. Tuesday morning on CNBC, Gates explaining the key goal of the Paris Climate Accord, limiting global rise in temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
is not realistic nor should it be a priority climate is a super important problem there's enough innovation here to avoid super bad outcomes we have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare not just everything should be solely for climate the one thing about that accord that you know, turned out not to be realistic was the ambitious goal of staying to 1.5 degrees. We won't be able to do that. Even if you took all the money away from health, you wouldn't be able to do that.
