Megyn Kelly 0:02
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, October 20th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
Bernie Sanders 0:09
No President Trump. We don't want you or any other king to rule us.
Megyn Kelly 0:17
Millions turn out over the weekend for the anti-Trump, no kings protests, including a bunch of the usual Democratic lawmakers, as new reporting reveals who's funding the grassroots coalition. The Israel-Hamas ceasefire facing a major test as U.S. officials prepare to begin negotiations on phase two of the peace plan. And a small crew absconding with priceless jewels swiped from a world-famous museum in broad daylight.
George Santos 0:46
Thank you to President Trump for clemency and for having such an amazing will for second chances.
Megyn Kelly 0:52
And former Congressman George Santos freed from prison after a Trump commutation. 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.

Who organized the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations and who is funding them?

Megyn Kelly 1:47
The No Kings Coalition holding rallies in several cities on Saturday against the Trump administration, while new reporting reveals the groups and funding behind the movement. Protesters turning out across the country, registering a broad range of grievances against the White House. Many appeared elderly and frail. Several calling themselves Grand Tifa for a grandparent Antifa member. Others wearing costumes and playing instruments. Democrat lawmakers seizing the spotlight, railing against what they call injustices under President Trump, casting themselves as defenders of democracy. Many were in tears. Here, a sampling from U.S. Senators Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Bernie Sanders 2:33
The truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America. We are not a people that can be ruled. Our government is not for sale. No, President Trump, we don't want you or any other king to rule us. We will not move toward authoritarianism in America. We, the people, will rule.
Elizabeth Warren 2:58
Now, when you ask these Republicans about today, they claim a no-kings rally is anti-American. Standing up to a wannabe dictator, that is patriotism.
Megyn Kelly 3:18
One state senator from Connecticut, Saoud Anwar, who is also a medical doctor, photographed holding a sign that read, quote, The calls for Trump to die were actually widespread at these rallies, from a young woman praying for it explicitly to an old man parading around in an 86-47 shirt. Later today, The Megyn Kelly Show will have a full report on the many abhorrent and hilarious displays from the day. This next clip gathered by The Daily Signal. Just a preview.
We need to get ourselves together. And we might even need to be a little bit meaner because the Republicans don't mind being mean. And by mean, what do you mean? Do you mean protesting? Do you mean... Maybe we have to, I don't know, stop being so nice. Okay, and I have to ask this because people on the other side are going to say that they feel like the Democrat Party has been mean recently with Charlie Kirk being assassinated. Charlie Kirk is a piece of garbage. Of course we were mean. I am so tired of people saying, oh, but, you know, it's a terrible thing. No! Hitler is dead. I'm glad Hitler's dead. Evil people have no place in my world. He was a hateful human being. It was disgusting, the things that he said and did.
I have, you know, I don't have time for that. I'm sorry. I have to point my energy in other directions.
