Maine's new Democratic Senate candidate said abortion should never be legal — including to save the mother's life — as recently as 2010 when he was 42 years old.
TL;DR
A 20-minute morning news roundup covering three major stories: a known Islamist suspect killed after a deadly van-and-machete attack near Berlin's Pride celebration [1] — Megyn Kelly "Abdul Balout — a German-born citizen of Lebanese descent with documented ISIS ties — used a rental van and machete to attack crowds near Be…" 02:16 ; Maine Democrats replacing scandal-plagued Graham Plattner with Troy Jackson, whose past 100% anti-abortion rating now haunts his progressive campaign against Susan Collins [2] — Megyn Kelly "CNN unearthed questionnaires showing Troy Jackson opposed abortion without exception in 2004 and 2010 — including to save the mother's life…" 10:45 ; and transgender paper dolls with interchangeable genitalia headed to Minnesota classrooms for children as young as four [3] — Megyn Kelly "A University of Minnesota Medical School research project turned commercial venture is bringing 'My Gender Dolls' — featuring removable, in…" 15:13 . President Trump also made his first White House Correspondents' Dinner appearance, roasting the press and RFK Jr. The single most useful takeaway: Jackson's anti-abortion questionnaire answers as recently as 2010 could prove fatal to his Senate bid.
Morning news roundup covering the Berlin Islamist terror attack near Pride, Maine Democrats replacing their Senate candidate with Troy Jackson and his abortion record controversy, transgender paper dolls coming to Minnesota schools, and President Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner do-over.
Megyn Kelly opens the July 27th AM Update with crisp, attention-grabbing headlines: a deadly Islamist attack near Berlin's Pride celebration, Maine Democrats scrambling to replace their scandal-hit Senate candidate with a man whose anti-abortion past is already a liability, and transgender paper dolls with interchangeable genitalia headed to Minnesota classrooms. The cold open also briefly previews President Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner appearance. The rapid-fire structure is characteristic of the show's morning format — each tease is just specific enough to create urgency without giving the story away.
The first ad break promotes SuperSure Insurance as a 'super agency' for businesses with more than 25 employees — explicitly addressing the pain point of brokers who disappear after signing a policy. The narrator highlights two proprietary tools: Fine Print Facts, which translates insurance policy language into plain English, and a business value calculator that helps owners understand what's worth insuring. The spot is targeted at owners, CFOs, and HR managers, and closes with a direct URL: supersure.com/Megyn. SuperSure is licensed in all 50 states.
Megyn Kelly details the Saturday night attack in Berlin's Tiergarten Park, where 21-year-old Abdul Balout plowed a rented white van into a group of people near — but not inside — the Christopher Street Day Pride festival, then attacked victims with a bladed weapon. [1] — Megyn Kelly "1 killed, 29 injured in Berlin attack: Abdul Balout used a rental van and machete to kill one person and injure 29 others near Berlin's Pri…" 02:16 One person was killed and 29 injured. Authorities were careful to note the attack happened several hundred yards from the parade route and closing party, not at the festival itself. Witness Erik Müller described the terrifying wave of panic that swept through nearby crowds as rumors of multiple attackers and vehicles spread. Reuters reported more than 2,200 officers had been deployed across Berlin for the Pride festivities. The manhunt lasted nearly 24 hours before police located Balout in a community garden in western Berlin, where he charged at officers and was shot dead.
Megyn Kelly walks through a damning timeline of missed signals. Balout traveled to Lebanon in 2025 allegedly trying to reach Syria and join ISIS; Lebanese authorities arrested and convicted him with a three-month sentence. [1] — Megyn Kelly "Balout sentenced to 3 months by Lebanese court: Before his Berlin attack, Abdul Balout was arrested in Lebanon while allegedly trying to re…" 05:18 After returning to Germany in November 2025, he was arrested again and charged with preparing subversive violence and distributing ISIS propaganda online. Yet a German juvenile court in May gave him a suspended sentence of just 1 year and 10 months after concluding he had distanced himself from the terror group. [2] — Megyn Kelly "Balout given suspended 1yr 10mo sentence: After returning to Germany, Balout was convicted in a juvenile court in May and given a suspended…" 06:20 Then, 24 days before the attack, Berlin police searched his apartment over a weapons complaint and left after finding only a toy gun. [3] — Megyn Kelly "On July 3rd — just 24 days before the attack — Berlin police searched Balout's apartment over a weapons violation and left after finding on…" 06:20 Terrorism expert Raphael Bassong frames the attack as the 8th or 9th such vehicle ramming in Europe, tracing the strategy to ISIS directives following the 2016 Nice attack and warning the method remains devastatingly effective. Berlin Pride organizers, meanwhile, urged the public not to use the attack to fuel anti-Muslim or anti-immigrant sentiment.
With Graham Plattner forced out over sexual assault allegations he denies, Maine Democrats convened an emergency party convention on Saturday and selected longtime state lawmaker Troy Jackson as their new Senate nominee — winning 566 to 5. [1] — Megyn Kelly "Troy Jackson won nomination 566-5: Troy Jackson won the Maine Democratic Senate nomination by a vote of 566 to 5 at a hastily organized par…" 08:15 Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who served as state Senate President, wasted no time claiming the progressive mantle: his acceptance speech promised Medicare for All, corporate accountability, housing affordability, union rights, abortion rights, LGBTQ protections, and resistance to Trump and ICE. The party is expected to submit his nomination formally Monday morning. Democrats view the seat as critical to reclaiming the Senate majority, and Jackson will be running in one of the country's most closely watched contests against the durable incumbent Susan Collins. The challenge, however, is that Jackson's progressive bona fides are brand new — and his record tells a very different story.
Megyn Kelly digs into what may be the most damaging issue facing Troy Jackson's Senate campaign: his decade-long anti-abortion record. CNN uncovered candidate questionnaires from 2004 and 2010 showing Jackson — then in his early forties — stated abortion should never be legal, and declined to check exceptions for rape, incest, fetal disability, or to protect the mother's health. [1] — Megyn Kelly "Jackson said abortion should 'never be legal': A 2010 survey found Jackson, then 42, said abortion should never be legal — including no exc…" 10:45 He also supported requiring women seeking abortions to receive information on fetal development and fetal pain, and to view a fetal monitor or ultrasound. Jackson's position shifted after 2017 when he was 49, eventually earning a perfect Planned Parenthood rating. By 2023, as state Senate President, he co-sponsored a law allowing abortion after fetal viability at physician discretion — among the most expansive in the nation. But a 2022 Maine Public profile noted he 'admits to struggling with abortion,' and a Democratic PAC ran attack ads against him during his gubernatorial primary, calling him 'extremely wrong for Maine' on the issue. [2] — 314 Action Fund Ad "Mainers just can't trust Troy Jackson on abortion. He earned a 100% rating from Maine Right to Life, voted for legislation that could ban a…" 12:32 A University of New Hampshire poll still shows Jackson leading Collins 49% to 46% — but with 99 days to the election, his record may define the race.
The second ad break takes a patriotic-historical angle, invoking Alexander Hamilton and the founding principles of sound money to argue the U.S. has suffered since abandoning the gold standard in 1971. The narrator positions Birch Gold Group as a 15-year-established firm with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating that can help investors convert existing IRAs or 401(k)s into tax-sheltered gold IRAs. The call to action is memorable: text the host's initials 'MK' to 989898 for a free, no-obligation info kit. The sponsor is presented as a portfolio diversification option rather than an all-in replacement.
The New York Post first reported that 'My Gender Dolls' — featuring gender-neutral names like Sam, Rory, Avery, and Parker, plus removable internal and external genitalia and more than 100 interchangeable outfits, hairstyles, and accessories — are set to be distributed to some Minnesota educators, school counselors, pediatricians, and mental health providers this fall. [1] — Megyn Kelly "U of Minnesota Medical School gets $15M/yr from state: The University of Minnesota Medical School receives $15 million a year from the stat…" 17:00 The project originated inside the University of Minnesota Medical School's Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which operates on a roughly $1.4 million research budget, while the broader medical school receives $15 million annually in state funding. Two medical school professors — including licensed psychologist and co-founder Diane Berg — spun the research into a commercial venture. Berg defended the dolls, arguing children need tools to understand gender identity regardless of their anatomy. Megyn Kelly notes that parents may not be notified or given a chance to opt their children out, and that Governor Tim Walz — who previously declared Minnesota a refuge for transgender minors seeking surgery over parents' objections — has been silent on the program.
The original April White House Correspondents' Dinner was abandoned after 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen — now facing life in prison — charged the venue and opened fire. Trump came back for the rescheduled event and owned the room for roughly an hour, repeatedly acknowledging he was performing in front of a ballroom of reporters and media executives hostile to him. [1] — Donald Trump "The original April White House Correspondents' Dinner was derailed when an armed man charged the venue and opened fire; 31-year-old Cole Th…" 18:04 He turned the assassination attempt into comedy: reporters apparently refused bulletproof vests at the original dinner because they'd rather die than look 20 pounds heavier. He worked in Nicki Minaj — joking that yells of 'get down' during the gunfire prompted her to start twerking. Trump then aimed at his own administration: he quipped that Health Secretary RFK Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and served the evening's beef tenderloin, and had proposed raccoon roadkill as an appetizer before being overruled. Trump closed by saying he plans to return next year — unless the press is 'really, really nasty' in the months ahead. Megyn Kelly promises more coverage on the full Megyn Kelly Show later that day.
Megyn Kelly delivers a brief closing, noting that more coverage of the White House Correspondents' Dinner will air later that day on The Megyn Kelly Show. She directs listeners to tune in at noon Eastern on SiriusXM's Megyn Kelly Channel, YouTube, and podcast platforms — standard end-of-episode promotional beats for the show's broader media footprint.

Abdul Balout — a German-born citizen of Lebanese descent with documented ISIS ties — used a rental van and machete to attack crowds near Berlin's Tiergarten, killing one and wounding 29. Despite previous arrests, ISIS propaganda charges, and a trip to Lebanon to join the terror group, German courts gave him a suspended sentence just months before the attack.
Abdul Balout used a rental van and machete to kill one person and injure 29 others near Berlin's Pride celebration in Tiergarten Park.
As conflicting rumors about multiple cars and knife-wielding attackers swept through the crowd, witness Erik Müller described seeing hundreds of people running from the festival, faces streaked with tears, with no one knowing what was actually happening. The scene captured how quickly mass panic takes hold even when the actual threat is localized.
Reuters reported that more than 2,200 police officers were deployed across Berlin to protect the Pride festivities on the night of the attack.

Before his Berlin attack, Abdul Balout was arrested in Lebanon while allegedly trying to reach Syria and join ISIS, and a Lebanese military court sentenced him to 3 months.
On July 3rd — just 24 days before the attack — Berlin police searched Balout's apartment over a weapons violation and left after finding only a toy gun. He went on to rent a van and kill someone 24 days later, raising hard questions about Germany's ability to monitor known extremists.
After returning to Germany, Balout was convicted in a juvenile court in May and given a suspended sentence of 1 year and 10 months after the court concluded he had distanced himself from ISIS.
The Berlin attack fits a decade-long pattern: ISIS directs followers to use any available weapon, courts release known extremists, and the attacks keep coming. Terrorism expert Raphael Bassong told DW News this was approximately the 8th or 9th such vehicle ramming in Europe — a tactic ISIS pioneered after Nice in 2016.
International terrorism expert Raphael Bassong noted the Berlin attack was approximately the 8th or 9th such vehicle-ramming attack in Europe, a tactic popularized since the 2016 Nice attack.
Maine Democrats held a hastily organized convention to replace Graham Plattner after sexual assault allegations forced him out. Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and longtime state Senate president, won 566 to 5 — then immediately launched a campaign against one of the most durable incumbents in Washington, with Democrats seeing Susan Collins' seat as key to reclaiming the Senate majority.

CNN unearthed questionnaires showing Troy Jackson opposed abortion without exception in 2004 and 2010 — including to save the mother's life. By 2017 he had a perfect Planned Parenthood rating, and by 2023 he was co-sponsoring one of the most expansive abortion laws in the country. The timing and sincerity of that shift is now the central question of the Maine Senate race.
A 2010 survey found Jackson, then 42, said abortion should never be legal — including no exceptions for rape, incest, fetal disability, or to protect the mother's health.
Troy Jackson once earned a 100% rating from Maine Right to Life, reflecting his formerly strict anti-abortion stance before his position shifted in 2017.
A University of New Hampshire poll shows Troy Jackson leading Susan Collins 49% to 46% just days after his emergency nomination — despite the abortion controversy already dominating headlines. With 99 days until the election, Democrats believe they can hold that lead, but the abortion questionnaires may define the race.

Trump joked that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and delivered the evening's beef tenderloin to the dinner — then topped it with a punchline about RFK wanting to serve raccoon roadkill as an appetizer. The crowd's laughter at jokes targeting his own administration signaled a rare night of good-natured self-deprecation from Trump.
