Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, and this is your AM Update. Well, I'll tell you, it's amazing what we've done. President Trump hosts GOP senators for lunch at the White House, celebrating legislative victories so far and looking ahead to what's next.

Two more suspects arrested in connection with the August attack on a Doge employee. Former CIA director John Brennan criminally referred to the DOJ for possible charges again. And the vile president-elect of the Oxford Union Debate Society loses a vote of no confidence following his remarks celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. We'll be right back. People are wanting more prayer, more church attendance, and a real spiritual revival is happening across America.
What did President Trump emphasize during the White House lunch with GOP senators?
Starting today, Hallow is launching a powerful new prayer series featuring Jim Caviezel. Yes, the actor who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. It's a fictional exchange between two demons trying to pull Christians away from God, not through obvious evil, but through everyday distractions like pride, busyness, and the I'll pray later mindset. Halo isn't just an app. It is a space to slow down, reconnect, and fight back against the noise with prayer. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to start.

President Trump hosting GOP senators for lunch at the White House Rose Garden yesterday, celebrating legislative wins and laying out the next round of priorities once the government reopens, that is.
And in a move that signals his transparency since taking office, the strategy session was broadcast for all to see. For those who have not been keeping track, this is the third week since Congress failed to pass a spending bill. putting the government in shutdown. Republicans have repeatedly offered a continuing resolution to simply maintain current spending levels. Democrats want to add spending. Neither side is budging. Round and round we go. Mr. Trump providing the senators with lunch and a pep rally of sorts.
We've taken out 1,700 career criminals and people that came in through an open border. They came in through Biden's open border and we've taken them out. The thing having to do with all of the elements in the great, big, beautiful bill, I'll tell you, it's amazing. what we've done, $200 billion in costs for medical, what we've done, $50 billion for rural hospitals. And remember, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security.
Mr. Trump also congratulating Senate Majority Leader John Thune for pushing through a wave of nominees for posts in his administration, made possible by a recent rule change allowing lower-level nominees like ambassadors, general counsels, and undersecretaries to be approved in bulk, clearing a significant backlog.
And after your pivotal changes to the Senate rules last month, as a result, this is what you did, the unprecedented obstruction by the Democrats. We've confirmed more than 175 public servants, people that are phenomenal, to keep posts. And that's just been over the last couple of weeks. It's an unbelievable thing. And you passed the Lake and Riley Act to throw illegal alien criminals out of our country. You passed the Genius Act. and the Take It Down Act with the support of our wonderful first lady. By the way, she got actual support from the other side. It was bipartisan.
President Trump calling on Republicans to next pass Kate's Law, named after Kate Steinle, a 32-year-old woman killed in 2015 while walking with her father in San Francisco. She was shot by an illegal immigrant who had been deported from the U.S. five times. President Trump and many others outraged in 2017 when a San Francisco jury found him not guilty of murder after defense lawyers argued the shooting was unintentional.
Another one I'm going to ask you to vote for, and it's in the House now, it's Kate's Law.
