• President Donald Trump said on Friday that the U.S. was “totally destroying” and “killing” Iran, warning to watch “what happens to these deranged scumbags today.”
• “We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
• “Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth,” he continued. “We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time.”
• Trump also appeared to signal a significant action later on Friday, writing, “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today.”
• “They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!” the president said. (President Trump/Truth Social)
• Two more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil yesterday. If Schumer and the Dem-Coms continue to support the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, they are state sponsors of terrorism!
• Iran using cluster-munitions when the world has condemned their use!

• UAE says air defense systems responding to missile threat, urges residents to stay in safe spaces.

Segment Topic:

• • Audio cut 1: Aaron Cohen, founder of Gideon (Fox News Channel)
• Terrorist attacks in Norfolk, VA and Bloomfield, Michigan, while DHS remains unfounded and shutdown.
• When you analyze both terror attacks yesterday, what factors are clearly evident from a law-enforcement perspective?
• The Old Dominion terrorist was already convicted of terrorism, was sentenced to prison and was released early – only to resume his terror ops against the United States?
• Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the ODU shooter, was sentenced to 11 years in prison previously for his support of ISIS.
• In 2017, Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, according to the DOJ. 
• Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone, became absorbed into the world of ISIS after leaving his post as a combat engineer with the Virginia National Guard.
• He specifically admired Anwar al-Awlaki, the slain leader of Al-Qaeda’s branch in the Arabian Peninsula, and other known terrorists, the DOJ said.
• He met up with members of ISIS sometime during a six-month stay in Africa in 2016. 
• During one meeting, Jalloh mentioned a desire to launch his own terror attack, taking inspiration from the 2009 mass shooting in Ft. Hood, Texas, where a US Army major shouted “allahu akbar”before he fatally shot 13 people and injured 32 others. (NY Post)
• Convicted to an eleven-year sentence.
• Served only eight-years for providing support to ISIS.
• Do you believe that all these recent terror attacks: Austin, NYC, Old Dominion and the Synagogue in Michigan are all “LONE WOLF” attacks?
• Jodi, would you be concerned if you boarded a plane at O’Hare today, with unpaid, overworked, disgusted TSA agents responsible for your safety?
• Are we at the point where we will need local law enforcement to takeover airport security, because Capitol Hill has politicized post-9/11 safety measures?
• A new Clemson University report found dozens of social media accounts associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)pushing anti-Israel and anti-U.S. content to sow online discord during the ongoing Iran-U.S. war.
• According to a report released Wednesday, at least 62 accounts across X, Bluesky and Instagram were found to have connections to the IRGC despite claiming to be users from the Americas, England, Scotland or Ireland. Though most accounts were less than 1 year old, some were created as far back as December 2023.
• How has the terror threat changed in the United States since the outbreak of “Operation Epic Fury?” Has open-borders placed us on a collision course with fighting this war on two-fronts. 
• Are we going to see a massive attack (like 9/11); or will we continue to see the kinds of attacks we have seen since the start of “Operation Epic Fury?”
• What happened to eliminating the enemy over there; before they can attack us over here?
• Can you provide recommendations to Americans watching this morning? Can you provide recommendations to those who plan to attend a house of worship this weekend and in the days and months ahead?

Segment Topics:

• If Red States are able to lower property taxes why are Blue States raising them?
• In New York City, champagne socialist talking points are starting to meet real-world consequences. Mayor Zohran Mamdaniis now floating the idea of a 10% property tax increase to fund his social programs and plug a looming budget hole. 
• The city he leads is already the most expensive place to live in the country, with families everywhere still trying to catch up to higher costs. A massive tax hike like his proposal would only make things worse, especially for middle-class New Yorkers.
• Isn’t it true that those on the Upper East Side will just pay the increases? After all, there are not many average middle-class taxpayers left in the five-boroughs?

Has the mass-migration out of Blue-States and Blue-cities created problems for those in New York, California and Oregon?  Those who paid carried the tax burden are gone?

Panelist:

Brooke Medina: Vice President of Communications for State Policy Network.  Ms. Medina says in an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner that: “Champagne socialism is forced to raise its glass to economic reality.”

Segment Topic:

• Is energy policy, national security policy?
• Has the outbreak of “Operation Epic Fury” proven that energy (cheap and abundant) is national security priority?
• Iran is reminder we must unleash America’s energy abundance.  How can you unleash, what the Democrat Communists in Washington want to restrain?
• President Trump was right when he demanded “drill baby drill” and has undone much of the Biden Green New Scam.
  • The hallmarks of the Biden presidency were reckless spending and stifling energy policies that led to 40-year high inflation and $5 gallon gasoline. 
  • We’re fortunate to have a President and Republicans in Congress committed to unlocking American energy and they’ve done a lot but much more work remains. What else needs to be done?
  • What Congress needs to do to support the President on energy now is permitting reform. 
  • What about reform at the EPA and other Federal agencies?
  • What about the time it takes to obtain permits?
  • AI Data Centers/Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The pledge is all well and good; isn’t the real problem with electric rates that politicians have been sleeping with the climate wacko’s – forcing us to pay for it?
  • AI is going to be vital for our economic and national security. 
  • Last week, President Trump announced data center infrastructure plans that will position the USA to lead while protecting Americans from increased electricity bills. 
  • President Trump called on the leading United States hyper-scalers and AI companies to build, bring, or buy all of the energy needed for building and operating data centers, paying the full cost of their energy and infrastructure, no matter what. 
  • As part of the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, companies agree to protect American consumers from price hikes due to data center energy and infrastructure requirements, and lower electricity costs for consumers in the long term. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-advances-energy-affordability-with-the-ratepayer-protection-pledge/
  • Yesterday, we had a panelist on YNTA, who emphasized the need for America to decentralize its power generation to make it more difficult for a terror attack to affect a large area. In this age of increased terrorism, would smaller, isolated power generating stations be something we should prioritize?

Panelist:

Faith Burns: Policy Fellow, Energy Policy: Americans for Prosperity

11:33

Segment Topic:

• Watchdog Reports 2026: Thousands of student’s ditch class as anti-ICE protests surge in 2026!
• So now, thousands of students are ditching class to protest law enforcement. Mind you, this same law enforcement keeps these students protected from illegals who rape, murder, and bring harm to Americans just like them. Millions of instructional hours are now lost, while schools shrug and “activism” trumps actual schooling. This is educational suicide!
• Parents shouldn’t hear, “Sit down and learn.” They should be asking: “What values are schools teaching, and what are our kids walking out for?” Whoever is educating our kids is shaping their worldview. Schools exist to educate, not to serve as political staging grounds. This nonsense has to stop. 
  • How can this stop when teachers’ unions are in control of our school districts?

Alvin Lui: President, Courage Is a Habit
