Megyn Kelly opened the episode with breaking news of a US Air Force F-15E fighter jet reportedly shot down over Iran, marking the first such incident since the war began. One crew member was rescued alive and receiving medical treatment, per US officials cited by CBS, CNN, Axios, and the New York Times; search and rescue continues for the second amid Iranian state media claims of a bounty on the Americans and calls to shoot at rescuers.
