What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Friday, December 12th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
You are making America less safe.
You all should be fired in my viewpoint. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem clashing with Democrats in a fiery hearing on Capitol Hill.
Abrego Garcia is present in our country illegally. He is a proven human trafficker.
The infamous Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, scores a win from a U.S. district judge ordering his immediate release. But the Trump administration says it's not over yet. President Trump pushing for Lindsay Halligan's nomination for U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, following a judge ruling her temporary appointment to the post is invalid. And Charlie Kirk's accused killer appearing in court yesterday for the first time, smiling.
What happened during the House hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem?
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 Senator Dick Durbin. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new scheme, 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. And that means more risk for your credit and identity. Learn more at guardyourcard.com and consider telling your senators to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other top counterterrorism officials on the Hill defending President Trump's strict immigration enforcement in a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on threats to the nation. The president's immigration crackdown, an attempt to conduct the largest mass deportation effort in history, quickly becoming a top political target for Democrats and drawing dozens of lawsuits throughout the nation. Secretary Noem arguing the open border policies of the Biden administration necessitates the aggressive approach.
What keeps me up at night is that we don't necessarily know all of the people that are in this country, who they are and what their intentions are. We think up to 15 to 20 million people came in under the Biden administration on the invasion over the southern border. They were not vetted. They were allowed to pour in our parole programs, our asylum programs. Our visa programs were all exploited and the integrity was demolished under Joe Biden and the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. And frankly, the entire department was neglected. And that is why we are so aggressive at making sure that we're going out and doing investigative work, finding those violent criminals, finding those people who shouldn't be in this country to begin with, and those that want to go after and to harm our American citizens.
director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, with a stark warning on what counterterrorism analysts have uncovered.
What we have identified is alarming. We just recently put out a warning, warning of the heightened risk of terrorist attacks posed to the homeland by terrorists pretty much of all stripes, but in particular from ISIS and from al-Qaeda. NCTC has been crunching the numbers and going through the sheer volume of known and suspected terrorists that are in the country that came in under the Biden administration. So far, NCTC has identified around 18,000 known and suspected terrorists. These are individuals who under normal circumstances would never be allowed to enter our country, but yet the Biden administration not only let them into the country, and in many cases, facilitated their entry, just like the entry of the Afghan terrorists who committed the terrorist attack here just before Thanksgiving, killing one of our National Guard members and wounding another.
Democratic lawmakers largely focusing on attacking Secretary Noem throughout the hearing.
You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee.
