Blockade Ahead After U.S.-Iran Peace Talks Fail, Swalwell Suspends CA Gov Campaign: AM Update 4/13

The Megyn Kelly Show's AM Update on April 13, 2026, opens with breaking developments in U.S.-Iran relations after 21 hours of failed peace talks in Pakistan. President Trump announces a U.S. military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, citing Iran's refusal to meet six core demands, including ending uranium enrichment and fully reopening the strait. Iran denies responsibility, blaming 'excessive demands,' while former National Counterterrorism Center chief Joe Kent argues the real goal is maintaining U.S. military engagement in the region. Oil markets brace for a spike, with traders predicting prices could exceed $110 a barrel. Simultaneously, Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell suspends his California gubernatorial campaign amid multiple sexual assault allegations from former staffers and other women, leading to a wave of endorsements being withdrawn, including from powerful figures like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Swalwell denies all allegations, calling them false and politically motivated. In a separate segment, former Vice President Kamala Harris signals possible interest in a 2028 presidential run, drawing strong support at the National Action Network convention and leading early Democratic polling. The episode closes with the successful splashdown of the Artemis II mission, marking the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years and a major milestone for NASA's deep space ambitions.
