Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, March 24, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Talks are open, DHS confirmation, LaGuardia crash and Memphis Safe task force results. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, President Trump postponed US Strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. And he said yesterday that talks would continue and that there are, quote, major points of agreement. They're not gonna have nuclear weapons. That's number one, the president said. That's number one. Two and three, they will never have a nuclear weapon and they've agreed to that. Trump told reporters that we are talking with a top person in Iran, but not the new supreme leader. We don't even know if he's alive. The president said we're doing a five day period. We'll see how that goes. And if that goes well, we're gonna end up with settling this. Otherwise, we just keep bombing our little hearts out. When asked who will be in control of the Strait of Hormuz after the war, Trump said, maybe me, me and the next ayatollah, whoever that is. Mark Wayne Mullen, the former senator from Oklahoma, has been confirmed as the new head of homeland security, a 54 to 45 vote. Two Democrats, John Fetterman of Penny and Mark Hendrick of New Mexico join Republicans voting to confirm Mullen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted against the confirmation because they have beef with each other. Mullen's confirmation comes in the middle of this Department of Homeland Security partial shutdown. Employees from tsa, FEMA and a few other agencies under DHS not getting paid. Worth noting that ice showing up to airports across the country, reports of those long lines going way down. A regional Air Canada jet collided into a Port Authority fire truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. This crash on the Runway killed both of the pilots, injured dozens of passengers and prompted the airport to shut down for hours. At least 43 people were taken to the hospital. The fire truck was responding to a separate incident from the night before. The plane was traveling around 100 miles per hour. The President yesterday was in Memphis to celebrate the success of the Memphis Safe Task Force. In the year before the president took office, Memphis saw more than 12,500 violent assaults, 429 rapes and 7,600 burglaries and armed robberies. Now, overall crime in the city is down 43% from the same period last year. Motor vehicle theft's down 67%. Robberies down 51. Sexual assaults down 38. Homicides down 35% burglaries down 32% aggravated assaults down 31%. Speaking of our nation's capital, the president said we have virtually no crime in D.C. right now. We're going to keep it that way or we're going to federalize it if we had to. But we don't have to do it anymore because it's in such great shape. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast PoliticsByFaith.
