The Megyn Kelly Show's AM Update on April 28, 2026, covers three major developments: the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments in a landmark case over Bayer's Roundup weed killer and its alleged cancer risks, the first court appearance of Cole Thomas Allen—the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner—and the arrival of King Charles and Queen Camilla for a four-day state visit to the U.S. The Supreme Court case centers on whether state-level lawsuits can proceed against Bayer for failing to warn about glyphosate’s potential carcinogenicity, despite federal approval. The Trump administration has sided with Bayer, framing glyphosate as essential to national agricultural security, sparking backlash from advocacy groups like Maha Moms, who accuse the administration of corporate capture. Meanwhile, Allen faces federal charges including attempted assassination, interstate firearm transport, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. The royal visit proceeds despite recent security concerns, with a packed schedule including a military review, a bilateral meeting, a speech to Congress, and a state dinner, though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are notably absent. The episode blends legal, political, and cultural narratives, highlighting tensions between corporate influence, public health, national security, and international diplomacy.
The Supreme Court is deciding whether state lawsuits can hold Bayer liable for failing to warn about glyphosate’s cancer risks, despite federal approval.
The Trump administration’s push to protect glyphosate as a 'national defense priority' has sparked outrage from health advocates and could become a 2026 election issue.
Cole Thomas Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump, appeared in federal court and faces life imprisonment for attempted assassination.
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in the U.S. for a state visit, with a packed schedule including a speech to Congress and a state dinner, but no meeting with Prince Harry.
The episode underscores growing public distrust in government alignment with corporate interests, especially in health and safety regulation.
Supreme Court Hearings on Roundup and Cancer Liability
“Either way you come to it, either via express preemption or impossibility preemption, the result here is clear. Congress plainly wanted uniformity when it came to the safety warnings on a pesticides label.”
Maha Moms Protest Trump's Pro-Glyphosate Policy
“When President Trump signed the executive order to make glyphosate a national defense priority, it really frustrated us. And we became... very alarmed at the fact that this administration is captured by this company.”
Court Case Details and Legal Arguments
The episode delves into the legal arguments: Bayer claims state lawsuits are preempted by federal law, while the plaintiff’s attorney argues for state-level accountability. Justices Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Kagan express concern over a patchwork of conflicting state warnings.
Cole Thomas Allen's Court Appearance
“I am targeting the administration officials. They are my targets, and I'm prioritizing from the top down the highest ranking from the lowest.”
Royal Visit to the U.S. Begins
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive in Washington, D.C. for a four-day state visit, beginning with a private tea at the White House and a tour of the new beehive on the South Lawn.
