Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, March 16, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Burden sharing, arrest in Odu, murder, Jasmine Crockett, level security and making it easier to renounce. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Energy Secretary Chris Wright was on a Sunday talk show. He said, I think that this conflict with Iran will come to an end in the next few weeks. Iran controls the straight of Hormuz. 20% of the world's oil passes through this strait and Iran had shut it down. We In America, only 2% of that oil that comes through the strait comes to the United States. So it doesn't affect our supplies, but it makes world prices go up. Now the Iranian foreign minister said the strait is open to all ships except American and and Israeli ships. So it's open. Meanwhile, the president is calling other countries to help. He said hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormu Straight will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated. Federal authorities arrested a man in Virginia, Kenya Chapman, charged with false statements and unlawful firearm dealing offenses because he sold Mohammed Jala A Glock.44 who went on to use it and open fired inside an ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University. Muhammad was previously convicted in 2016 of giving material support to ISIS. He was sentenced to 11 years, only served seven. He should still be in prison today, but when he was released, he's still not allowed to own a gun. So the feds arrested the guy who sold him the gun. The Dallas SWAT team killed a man who is a part of the security detail for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who of course ran for Senate in Texas. She lost the Democratic primary a week or so ago. 39 year old Damon Mazar Robinson, he went by the name Mike King, an alias. He was in a standoff with Dallas SWAT officers, went to a hospital parking garage, barricaded himself inside a vehicle, was forced out by tear gas and then pulled a gun on officers. He was on the congresswoman's security team. He was already a subject of a federal investigation, wanted for impersonating a police officer. He's also been arrested seven times for theft, multiple felony arrests. This guy drove a replica undercover police vehicle and used a license plate stolen from cars outside of a military recruitment office. How did this guy make it on a congressperson's security team? The State Department has reduced the fees that need to be paid in order to renounce your citizenship. It was $2,350. Now it's only $450. If you no longer want to be an American, if you don't want to be an American anymore, I'm okay with paying you $450 for your plane ticket if you promise to never come back. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by faith. Now on YouTube, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
