What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily Dushinsky, host of After Party and the Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up Show on Sirius XM Channel 111. It's Thursday, November 13th, 2025. This is your AM Update.
When we come up to midterms and other things, don't forget what they've done to our country.
After a record 43 days, the House passes the Senate-backed spending bill and the government officially reopening with President Trump's signature.
How did the 43-day shutdown end and what did the spending bill include?
We're talking about three in four Americans, 75 percent overall, who say Trump's not paying enough attention to lowering costs.
Team Trump brainstorming plans to boost voter confidence on Trump's handling of the economy. Eleven states facing power grid warnings amid a geomagnetic storm caused by powerful solar flares. And JFK's grandson, with a bizarre social media presence, takes up the family biz, announcing a run for Congress. 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.
The government officially reopening last night after a record 43-day shutdown, with President Trump signing the spending package into law shortly after its passage in the House. Mr. Trump delivering remarks upon signing.
This cost the country $1.5 trillion, this little excursion that they took us on. Republicans never wanted a shutdown and voted 15 times for a clean continuation of funding. There's never been a time when one or the other party ever didn't sign a continuation. It's just a continuation, not a big deal. It's a continuation and we'll talk later. Yet the extremists in the other party insisted on creating the longest government shutdown in American history, and they did it purely for political reasons. So I just want to Tell the American people you should not forget this. When we come up to midterms and other things, don't forget what they've done to our country.
The final House vote on the Senate-backed bill tallying 222 to 209, with two GOP no votes in Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky and Congressman Greg Stubbe of Florida, and six Democrat yes votes. The deal, passed by the Senate late Sunday evening, keeps most of the government funded at current levels through January 30th. Certain parts of the government, including the Agricultural Department, FDA, and Veterans Affairs, fully funded through September 30th. Even if Congress fails to pass budget bills in January, the SNAP program, which provides food assistance for low-income families, will remain funded through September under this agreement. Democrats waging the shutdown fight in hopes of forcing an extension of Obamacare subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.
Republicans holding firm, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune instead promising to bring a vote on the issue next month. That bill would need 60 votes to pass in the Senate, and would then head to the House, where it faces resistance from House Speaker Mike Johnson. Team Trump looking to boost Americans' confidence in the president's handling of the economy, reports CNN, as new polls show increasing anxiety among voters about affordability. A Wednesday poll from the Associated Press showing only 33% approve of Mr. Trump's managing of the federal government, down from 43% in March, largely driven by declining support among Republicans and independents. On the economy, the president's approval rating dropping from 40 percent in March to 33 percent this month.
