What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, November 17th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
Unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files, and that is shocking.
The Epstein files fall out escalating over the weekend, resulting in the political breakup of President Trump and one of his fiercest defenders. The Trump administration rolls back some grocery-related tariffs as affordability concerns take center stage.
The right would say really rough things and names, but on the left, it was like they want me to die.
Senator John Fetterman's recent health scare results in 20 stitches and a moment of reflection. And California Governor Gavin Newsom is officially prepping for his 2028 run. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. I've been talking a lot about Riverbend Ranch lately because I love their steaks. Riverbend Ranch has taken black Angus beef to a whole new level. 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. when you buy from riverbend ranch you are not only supporting the 64 cowboys and cowgirls and their families who work on the ranch but you're also supporting over 260 other u.s ranches and the hundreds of american families who work on them it is born in the usa raised in the usa and processed in the usa it is aged to perfection for 21 days and shipped directly from the ranch to your home
This is not your average black Angus beef.

The House reportedly set to vote tomorrow on a bill compelling the Department of Justice to release most of the remaining Jeffrey Epstein files, barring classified information, child sex abuse material, and information identifying victims. The vote comes after a small band of Republicans joined Democrats in a petition to sidestep House GOP leadership and force a vote. Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday on Fox downplaying the move he strongly opposed.
So it'll be on the floor again next week. I suspect there'll be lots of votes that will just get this done and move it on. There's nothing to hide in the oversight committee. is releasing far more information than the discharge petition, their little gambit, ever even anticipated. They never even mentioned in the discharge the Epstein estate files, and that is the treasure trove of documents that's given us Epstein's flight logs, his personal records, his financial ledgers, his daily calendar. None of that was anticipated. So the discharge is totally moot. It is a political exercise, and we're going to dispense with that this week.
Speaker Johnson referencing the recent drop of thousands of documents released by the Oversight Committee obtained from the Epstein estate as part of the committee's investigation into the DOJ's handling of the case. President Trump accusing Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, as well as Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, all Republicans, of aiding Democrats in distracting from the administration's accomplishments. Mr. Trump last night departing Palm Beach.
They just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration. So a guy like Massey, his poll numbers are showing he's at six percent approval rating right now. And we call him Rand Paul Jr. because he never he never votes for the Republican Party. So they're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party.
On Friday morning, President Trump posting to Truth Social that he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ to investigate some Epstein dirt, specifically Epstein's relationship with former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, billionaire tech titan and Trump antagonist Reid Hoffman, and more.
