Key Topics and Discussion Points

1. Government Shutdown: Breakthrough Deal Near, Ongoing Airport Chaos

• Overview of Situation and Human Impact

  • Airports nationwide are experiencing massive delays and cancellations due to the prolonged government shutdown, now the longest in history (40 days).
  • Travelers describe their experiences:
    • “Total headache. Disaster. Nightmare.” (Airport Traveler 1, 00:39)
    • “It’s terrible. It’s just terrible. I feel like the American people are being held hostage right now.” (Airport Traveler 2, 03:54)

• Senate Deal Emerges ([02:36])

    • Separate December vote on Obamacare tax credit extension.
    • Funding for SNAP benefits through September 2026.
    • Assistance for federal employees laid off during the shutdown.

• Escalating Air Travel Crisis

  • FAA reduces flights at 40 major airports due to staffing shortages in air traffic control.

  • [04:00] Staffing cuts increase by 1% daily (up to 10%), risking further disruption as Thanksgiving approaches.

  • “Yesterday we had 81 staffing triggers with air traffic controllers across the airspace... That trend line is getting worse, right? More controllers aren’t coming to work day by day... I look at that data that came from the safety team and the trend line is going in the wrong direction. So I need to take action and make sure that we keep people safe.”
    — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (05:07)

  • FAA Administrator Brian Bedford reports up to 40% of controllers absent daily; over 5,400 flights delayed Saturday alone.

  • Secretary Duffy predicts delays will persist after a return to work:

    • “If the government opens on day one, will I see an immediate response from controllers? No. The union is telling me it’s going to take time to get them all back in.” (05:58)

2. Push to Abolish Senate Filibuster

• White House Pressure and Republican Division

  • President Trump urges Senate Republicans to “go nuclear” and abolish the filibuster for legislative efficiency:

    • “[If] we don’t do the termination of the filibuster... nothing will be passed and Republicans will be blamed.” (Trump via Truth Social, paraphrased 06:31)

  • Vice President J.D. Vance supports the move, asserting Democrats would act likewise given the chance:

    • “Both [Manchin and Sinema] had their careers destroyed by the far left for protecting the filibuster. And you better believe every Senate Democrat internalized that lesson.” (07:16)

• Arguments for Preserving the Filibuster

  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senator James Lankford (R-OK) defend the status quo:
    • “Yeah, we should not get rid of the filibuster. The filibuster has been core in the United States Senate since the early 1800s... it’s the only place in our government where both sides have to talk to each other. That’s a good thing for America.”
      — Senator James Lankford (08:24)

• GOP and Democrat Advocates for Abolition

  • Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI): “If we want to do good things for the American public, we better end the filibuster on our watch.” (09:06)
  • Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA): “I have continued to oppose the filibuster and would be happy to do away with [it]... so that we can expand and protect people’s freedoms and their rights.” (09:57)

• Potential Compromise

  • Ben Shapiro proposes a constitutional amendment to enshrine the filibuster permanently, or else abolish it:
    • “...what Republicans should do is they should say to Democrats, let’s do a constitutional amendment to enshrine the filibuster permanently. And if you won’t do it, then we’ll nuke it. I like that...” (Ben Shapiro, 10:25)

  • Infamous text exchange:

    • Lisa Page: “Trump’s not ever going to become president. Right? Right?”
    • Peter Strzok: “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it.” (Recalled at 15:15)

  • Brennan’s involvement with the Steele dossier and internal disputes over its inclusion in the 2017 ICA scrutinized.

    • “Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?” — Reported Brennan quote regarding inclusion of the dossier (16:32)

4. Elise Stefanik Launches NY Gubernatorial Bid

• Campaign Message

  • Stefanik targets Governor Kathy Hochul and NY Mayor-Elect Zoran Mamdani:
    • “Kathy Hochul made New York the most unaffordable state in the nation, crushing families with sky high taxes, unaffordable rent, soaring energy costs and record high grocery bills and cozied up to a defund the police tax hiking anti Semitic communist... The spirit of the Empire State cannot be broken. Elise Stefanik will make New York affordable and safe.” (Stefanik, 17:03)
  • Campaign aims to win over independents and moderate Democrats alienated by Hochul and Mamdani’s policies.

• Political Landscape

  • Republican statewide prospects are daunting; no GOP win in NY since 2002.
  • Polling shows volatile voter sentiment:
    • Manhattan Institute poll: Stefanik ahead by 1 point (43-42).

Good morning everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, November 10, 2025, and this is your AM update.

[Airport Traveler 1]

Total headache. Disaster. Nightmare.

[Airport Traveler 2]

It's terrible. It's just terrible.

[Megyn Kelly]

Chaos at the nation's airports as they contend with travel delays and canceled flights caused by the government shutdown. As Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounds the.

[Senator or Political Analyst]

Alarm, this is the place where the grownups need to sit down and to be able to have hard conversations.

[Megyn Kelly]

A breakthrough on the government shutdown Late last night, the Senate agreeing to a deal to advance The House passed continuing resolution keeping funding at current levels through January 30, the first step to reopening the government as the record 40 day shutdown continues. Later this week, the Senate will vote on a package of bills that would fully fund certain departments all the way through the end of the fiscal year September 30, 2026, including the Agriculture Department, FDA, Veterans Affairs, Military Construction and Congressional operations, according to Politico. The House will then have to approve any Senate pass deals. Part of the deal includes a separate vote this December on a Democrat proposal to extend Obamacare tax credits for one year. That bill would require 60 votes to pass the agreement also funding SNAP benefits, food assistance for low income families through September of 2026 and would assist federal employees who were laid off in the shutdown, per Axios. Meanwhile, thousands of weary air travelers over the weekend feeling the toll of the shutdown at airports nationwide. A sampling from ABC7 at Reagan National Airport in D.C. kind of speechless with it because our world is just sort of really crazy right now. We got to get it together.

[Senator or Political Analyst]

It's absurd. I think it's a complete failure of government and the government serving itself and not the people. It's driving me nuts.

[Airport Traveler 1]

Total had a disaster nightmare.

[Airport Traveler 2]

It's terrible. It's just terrible. I feel like the American people are being held hostage right now.

[Megyn Kelly]

Starting Last Friday, the FAA reducing flights at 40 of the nation's top airports amid air traffic control staffing shortages beginning with a 4% cut in air traffic, rising by 1% each day, up to 10% by midweek this week if the shutdown continues. FAA Administrator Brian Bedford saying last week a massive 20 to 40% of controllers are failing to report to work on any given day as they, like other federal employees, have not been paid for weeks, missing two full paychecks since the government shutdown began on October 1st. Just on Saturday, Fox reporting 5,450 flights delayed. American, Delta, Southwest and United each canceling about 700 flights as the shutdown continues. Those numbers only set to rise. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warning air traffic will fall to, quote, a trickle as we head to Thanksgiving. Secretary Duffy sounding the alarm on Sunday, appearing on both Fox and CNN about the mounting strain on US Airports as air traffic controllers work without pay.

[Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy]

Yesterday we had 81 staffing triggers with air traffic controllers across the airspace. You reported there was a, you know, a whole slew of cancellations and delays across the airspace. That trend line is getting worse, right? More controllers aren't coming to work day by day. The further they go without a paycheck because Democrats refuse to pay them. I have more complaints coming into the FAA from pilots who are saying that air traffic controllers are not as responsive. They seem stressed or they're not using the appropriate language because they're under pressure. So I look at that data that came from the safety team and the trend line is going in the wrong direction. So I need to take action and make sure that we keep people safe.

[Megyn Kelly]

Secretary Duffy warning last week in a press conference that even with the passage of a budget deal, flight delays will take time to resolve.

[Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy]

If the government opens on day one, will I see an immediate response from controllers? No. The union is telling me it's going to take time to get them all back in.

[Megyn Kelly]

Okay.

[Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy]

I don't wish this was the circumstance in which I was dealing with. So I imagine as we see the data change and more controllers come to work, we are as quickly as possible going to take these restrictions away. That's the best approach. But we have to look at how many controllers come to work and how long that takes after the government opens back up.

[Megyn Kelly]

The White House pushing hard on Senate Republicans to kill the filibuster. The Senate rule that requires 60 votes to get a vote on most legislation, which then would need 51 votes in order to pass. President Trump in recent weeks arguing that ending the filibuster is essential for the Republicans electoral prospects, posting on Truth Social last week, quote, the Democrats are far more likely to win the midterms and the next presidential election if we don't do the termination of the filibuster, the nuclear option because it will be impossible for Republicans to get common sense policies done. With these crazed Democrat lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes for three years, nothing will be passed and Republicans will be blamed. Democrats nearly abolishing the filibuster in January 2022 in an effort to pass so called voting rights legislation. That effort failing 52 to 48 with Democrat Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joining Republicans to keep the filibuster in place. They're both now gone. Vice President J.D. vance posting to X Friday morning, quote, many of my friends and former colleagues in the Senate are against eliminating the filibuster because they don't think the Democrats will do it. This is just obviously wrong. The reason the filibuster exists is because of Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema. Both of them had their careers destroyed by the far left for protecting the filibuster. And you better believe every Senate Democrat internalized that Lesson key Republican senators still resisting the call. Senate Majority Leader John Thune telling local South Dakota outlet Kelo on Thursday, quote, getting rid of the filibuster is not the answer here. And frankly, there aren't the votes to do it, even if we tried. US Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, a Republican, Sunday on Meet the Press arguing to preserve the Senate's structure.

[Senator or Political Analyst]

Yeah, we should not get rid of the filibuster. The filibuster has been core in the United States Senate since the early 1800s. But what's unique about the filibuster and about the United States Senate, it's the only place in our government where both sides have to talk to each other. That's a good thing for America. This is the place where the grownups need to sit down and to be able to have hard conversations and say, we have differences of opinion. Let's work our differences out. In the House of Representatives is majority only. In the Supreme Court, majority only. In the executive branch, majority majority only. The Senate forces both sides to talk to each other. I think that's good for the country.

[Megyn Kelly]

US Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, also a Republican, Sunday on Fox, calling on his fellow GOP colleagues to ditch the filibuster.

[Political Commentator]

I've got to believe every Republican believes they'll do that. But again, they are clinging. Listen, I wish the Democrats respect the filibuster. It's a good thing for the institution, but they don't. So you have to recognize that reality. I come from the private sector, a lot of reality. Sometimes you don't like to recognize, but if you don't, you're going to be in big trouble. And that's basically what President Trump is saying. We have to recognize that reality. If we want to do good things for the American public, we better end the filibuster on our watch.

[Megyn Kelly]

GOP Senators Jim Banks and Tommy Tuberville have also signaled they would support eliminating the filibuster. U.S. senator Adam Schiff of California, a Democrat, Sunday on ABC, saying he supports abolishing the filibuster to pass Democrat party priorities. When you were running for Senate, you came out against the filibuster. If that comes to the Senate floor.

[Chevy Truck Announcer]

Will you vote for it?

[Airport Traveler 1]

I have continued to oppose the filibuster and would be happy to do away with a filibuster. But the question is, do away with it for what reason? I would do away with it so that we can expand and protect people's freedoms and their rights. The Republicans and the president right now are talking about doing away with the filibuster so they can raise people's health care costs. That is the wrong reason to do away with a filibuster.

[Megyn Kelly]

At the Megyn Kelly Live tour Thursday night, Ben Shapiro floating a possible compromise.

[Ben Shapiro]

I have sort of a happy medium counter proposal and it was actually put forward by our friend Jeremy Boring. I thought it was quite brilliant. What he suggested is that what Republicans should do, he said this a year ago. What Republicans should do is they should say to Democrats, let's do a constitutional amendment to enshrine the filibuster permanently. And if you won't do it, then we'll nuke it. I like that because that's like, okay, either we're all on board or nobody's on board. We're not going to play this kind of take them on faith game, which I think is quite smart.

[Megyn Kelly]

Coming up, former CIA Director John Brennan and many more subpoenaed by a federal grand jury as part of the investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion hoax. And Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is officially running for governor of New York 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 [e-mail] and you could consider telling your senators to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. A federal grand jury on Friday subpoenaing former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, with many more expected to come as part of the ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion. Ho. According to Fox News, the trio served on Friday. The scope of these subpoenas unclear for now. Fox reporting up to 30 more individuals are expected to be served in the coming days in connection with the investigation. The probe based out of the Southern District of Florida, overseen by U.S. attorney Jason Redding Quinones. The New York Post reporting, quote, the people targeted are seen as part of the conspiracy that peddled claims President Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government ahead of the 2016 election. Article 3 Project founder and President Mike Davis has long argued that the Russia probe violated 18 USC Section 241 conspiracy against rights. Davis writing on X back in July, quote, when you politicize and weaponize intelligence agencies and law enforcement to go after your political opponents, that is textbook conspiracy against rights. So is this latest round of subpoenas a prelude to criminal charges? Possibly. Strzok, the former FBI counterintelligence agent opening the Trump Russia investigation known as Crossfire hurricane back in 2016. Strzok eventually moving to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating possible collusion. FBI attorney Lisa Page serving briefly on the Mueller investigation as well. You may recall the two lovers text messages uncovered during the Inspector General Michael Horowitz's probe into the investigation's origins. August 8, 2016 Lisa Page writing to Strook, quote, trump's not ever going to become president. Right? Right. Strook responding, quote, no, no he won't. We'll stop it. Those texts and many more equally cringy leading to Strzok's removal from the Mueller team. Strzok and Page already investigated by Inspector General Michael Horowitz for their roles both in Crossfire Hurricane and in the Clinton email probe. IG Horowitz ultimately referring them for internal discipline rather than criminal charges. Page resigning from the FBI in 2018, struck fired that same year in July 2024, the Biden DOJ agreeing to pay them a $2 million settlement over the public release of their texts. Horowitz's probes did not extend to the CIA, though former Director Brennan has since come under scrutiny of his own. Fox News first reporting in July on the criminal investigation into former CIA Director Brennan launched after a referral from current CIA Director John Ratcliffe to the DOJ over the summer. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassifying the 2020 House Intelligence Committee report finding top intel officials, including Mr. Brennan and used flawed and selectively filtered intel to craft The Obama ordered 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, or ICA, which claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin, quote, aspired to help then candidate Trump win in 2016. Since then, Brennan has been referred to the DOJ for possible wrongdoing at least once more by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan in connection with allegedly false statements made by BRENNAN over the CIA's reliance on the discredited Clinton funded oppos research known as the Steele Dossier in the ICA Chairman Jordan pointing to one example of an allegedly false statement stemming from a May 2023 transcribed interview Brennan gave to the Judiciary Committee Congressman Matt Gaetz pressing Brennan on his Russian disinformation expertise. Quote, you were involved with analyzing the Steele dossier. Brennan responding, quote, no, I was not involved in analyzing the dossier at all. I said the first time I actually saw it it was after the election and the CIA was not involved at all with the dossier. It was in the FBI's purview, their area, not ours at all. However, according to the now released 2020 intel report, not only was the CIA involved with that dossier, but it was Director Brennan himself who insisted on including it in the ICA despite objections from senior CIA intel officials. Those agents citing its serious credibility problems, arguing that it should be excluded only to be overruled by Director Brennan who allegedly said, quote, yes, but doesn't it ring true? Mr. Brennan has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Strzok and Page have yet to weigh in Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik on Friday officially launching her campaign for Governor of New York, posting a video to social media attacking Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul over New York's affordability crisis and highlighting the Governor's support for New York City Mayor Elect Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani.

[Congresswoman Elise Stefanik]

Kathy Hochul made New York the most unaffordable state in the nation, crushing families with sky high taxes, unaffordable rent, soaring energy costs and record high grocery bills and cozied up to a defund the police tax hiking anti Semitic communist. But from the ashes of Kathy Hochul's failed policies, New York will rise like we always do. The spirit of the Empire State cannot be broken. Elise Stefanik will make New York affordable and safe.

[Airport Traveler 2]

People in New York, no matter if you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, enough is enough. We are the most unaffordable state in the nation because of single party Democrat rule led by Kathy Hochul.

[Megyn Kelly]

In an accompanying post, Congresswoman Stefanik unveiling a strategy of tying the Governor to Mayor Elect Mamdani writing quote, when New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging defund the police tax hiking communist causing catastrophe for New York families. Political Reporting Republicans hold a vast voter enrollment disadvantage in New York and no GOP candidate has won statewide office since 2002. Axios Reporting's TEFANIX team aims to win over independents and moderate Democrats alienated by Mamdani and his socialist policies, complicating Governor Hochul's re election effort. A primary challenge from her own Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, who launched his campaign in June. The Lieutenant Governor says he's open to increasing taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers. Axios summing up Team Stefanik's characterization of Governor Hochul's predicament as such. Quote if Hochul greenlights Mamdani's request for tax increases to pay for his affordability push, the governor would turn off moderates and independents. But if she turns Mamdani down, she risks alienating his coalition of voters she wants to turn out for her in 2026. Politico also reporting Mamdani's anti Israel views poll poorly in New York suburbs Congresswoman Stefanik is a notable House voice against antisemitism, best demonstrated in this moment from a December 2023 hearing with Ivy League presidents over their handling of on campus antisemitism.

[Airport Traveler 2]

Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them? Do you understand that dehumanization is part of antisemitism? I will ask you one more time. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no?

[Megyn Kelly]

It depends on the context.

[Airport Traveler 2]

It does not depend on the context. The answer is yes, and this is why you should resign. These are unacceptable answers across the board.

[Megyn Kelly]

An October poll by conservative think tank the Manhattan Institute showing Congresswoman Stefanik leading Governor Hochul by 1.43 to 42 in a hypothetical matchup. That poll, markedly different from one in September conducted by Siena College, showing Governor Hochul leading Stefanik by 25 points 52 to 27. Election Day is November 3, 2026, and that'll do it for your AM update. I'm Megyn Kelly.
