What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Thursday, October 30th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
It is bigger than Watergate in the same way that the Pacific Ocean is bigger than your bathtub.
Thousands of pages released this week by the House and Senate Judiciary Committees exposing what Republicans are calling the biggest scandal in Washington history. The CBS News shakeups begin as parent company Paramount begins post-merger layoffs. The Federal Reserve moves on interest rates. President Trump not yet satisfied. You need some assistance? Is he saying monkey? And... Research monkeys on the loose in Mississippi. 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.
What do the newly released 'Arctic Frost' documents allege about FBI targeting of Republicans?
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. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees releasing two separate troves of documents this week, each revealing a Biden administration FBI determined to investigate not just President Trump, but the vast majority of the conservative movement. The House Judiciary Committee releasing documents provided by FBI Director Kash Patel
showing dozens of Republican figures wrapped up in what was known as the Arctic Frost Investigation, which began as an examination of the alternate slates of electors Team Trump pushed in the 2020 election and developed into Special Counsel Jack Smith's wider probe into interference around the 2020 election, a dragnet that surveilled U.S. senators, financial institutions, basically GOP heavyweights having anything to do with Donald Trump. The Senate Judiciary Committee releasing whistleblower documents containing the actual subpoenas issued by special counsel Jack Smith, targeting at least 430 Republican individuals and entities. including media companies like Fox and Newsmax, as well as Turning Point USA, Make America Great Again PAC, eight GOP senators and private individuals scrutinized in what Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley describes as an FBI phishing expedition to, quote, improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.
That probe zeroing in on the GOP's so-called false electors scheme. a plan in which pro-Trump electors in several battleground states submitted alternate election certificates claiming Mr. Trump had won those states in hopes that they would be counted during the January 6th vote certification. The Trump camp describing these as contingent electors to preserve President Trump's legal rights amid ongoing legal challenges to the 2020 election. On Wednesday, GOP senators arguing these latest revelations unveil a scandal as big as any in modern political history.
What is revealed in those 1700 pages of documents, in those 197 subpoenas, is nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list. People need to understand how politicized the Biden administration turned all these agencies.
Arctic frost. is Joe Biden's Watergate. Merrick Garland was a fundamentally corrupt attorney general. Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor. This was a political enemies list from the beginning.
In this instance, I can't think of a bigger political scandal in the last hundred years. So if you want to compare it to Watergate, this is a hundred times worse than Watergate.
We spoke with CEO of The Federalist, Sean Davis, about the significance of these documents.
So Arctic Frost was a wide-ranging, massive investigation, basically against the entire National Republican Party infrastructure launched under the Joe Biden administration.
