Today Josh breaks down why Democrats are still playing politics with airport security as the government shutdown drags on—and why the situation could get even worse as Easter travel approaches. He also takes a closer look at what it truly means to be an ally as the war with Iran escalates and the United States sees limited support from much of the world outside of Israel. Josh is joined by Jason Greenblatt, former White House Middle East Envoy, to discuss President Trump’s long-standing stance against Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and what the current conflict could mean for the region. Finally, Erin Molan, host of The Erin Molan Show, joins us from Australia to share her perspective on the Iran war, why it matters to Australians, and the economic strain being felt as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Could the War Be Ending Soon?

Iran has dismissed an American plan to pause the war in the Middle East, issuing its own counterproposal instead, as it launched more attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab countries. Pakistani officials described the proposal broadly as touching on sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation, a rollback of Iran’s nuclear program, monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency, missile limits and access for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf. Iran issued it’s own plan Wednesday via state TV, which includes a halt to killings of its officials, means to make sure no other war is waged against it, reparations for the war, the end of hostilities and Iran’s “exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.”

Democrat Emily Gregory won a Florida special election on Tuesday, flipping a state legislative district that is home to Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach estate that President Donald Trump counts as his residence. The president had endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples. In a social media post Monday, he urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was backed “by so many of my Palm Beach County friends.” With almost all votes counted, Gregory led by 2.4 percentage points, or 797 votes. Gregory grew up north of Palm Beach in Stuart. She’s the owner of a fitness company that works with pregnant and postpartum women, and she has never run for elected office before. Speaking to MSNOW after her victory, she said she was “pretty shocked" and “having a fairly out-of-body experience.”

Conservatives are holding one of their largest annual gatherings as President Donald Trump faces a tough moment and a growing rift over the Iran war. The Conservative Political Action Conference begins Wednesday near Dallas. Among the featured speakers scheduled at the four-day event is longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon. Bannon said during his “War Room” podcast this month that should the war become “a hard slog," it could cost the GOP conservative voters ahead of the midterms. “We are going to bleed support,” Bannon said. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who supports the war, also is on the agenda at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center. “I think President Trump was exactly right to act to protect Americans,” Cruz said last week in a CBS News interview. Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s scheduled speaking slot is a reminder of the disagreement among some conservatives about the U.S. military alliance with Israel against Iran. Gaetz, host of a show on the conservative One America News Network, has said the U.S. has been too cozy with Israel as popular conservative personalities such as Tucker Carlson have challenged conservatives’ longtime bond with the country, prompting criticism from GOP groups, including pro-Israel Republicans, of antisemitism. Others scheduled to speak include Trump border czar Tom Homan and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley, who is running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

A Los Angeles jury found Alphabet's Google and Meta liable for $3 million in damages on Wednesday in a landmark social media addiction lawsuit. The outcome could influence thousands of similar cases against the tech companies brought by parents, attorneys general and school districts. At least half of American teens use YouTube or Instagram daily, according to the Pew Research Center. The Los Angeles case involves a 20-year-old woman who said she became addicted to the apps at a young age because of their attention-grabbing design. The plaintiffs in the Los Angeles proceeding focused on platform design rather than content, making it harder for the companies to avert liability. Snap and TikTok were also defendants in the trial. Both settled with the plaintiff before it began. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed. Shares of Meta Platforms were up 1% and Alphabet slightly higher after the verdict, little changed on the news. A Meta spokesperson said “We respectfully disagree with the verdict and are evaluating our legal options.” Google did not have an immediate comment. Large technology companies in the U.S. have faced mounting criticism in the last decade over child and teen safety. The debate has now shifted to courts and state governments. The U.S. Congress has declined to pass comprehensive legislation regulating social media. At least 20 states enacted laws last year on social media usage and children, according to the nonpartisan National Conference of State Legislatures, an organization that tracks state laws. The legislation includes bills that regulate the use of cellphones in schools and require users to verify their ages to open a social media account. NetChoice, a trade association backed by tech companies such as Meta and Google, is seeking to invalidate age verification requirements in court. A separate social media addiction case brought by several states and school districts against technology companies is expected to go to trial this summer in federal court in Oakland, California. Another state trial is slated to begin in Los Angeles in July, said Matthew Bergman, one of the attorneys leading the cases for the plaintiffs. It will involve Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat. Separately, a New Mexico jury on Tuesday found Meta violated state law in a lawsuit brought by the state's attorney general, who accused the company of misleading users about the safety of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and of enabling child sexual exploitation on those platforms.

NBC’s Savannah Guthrie has spoken publicly for the first time since her mother went missing nearly two months ago, appearing in a tearful interview on the “Today” show to plead for help in the case. Guthrie said “somebody needs to do the right thing” and come forward with information that could help resolve the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie. Investigators believe Nancy Guthrie may have been kidnapped or otherwise taken against her will. Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. The interview was conducted by co-host Hoda Kotb and aired in part Wednesday, with additional segments expected to air later this week.

In this episode of the Carl Jackson Show, Carl dives into the ongoing conflict with Iran, making a strong case for why President Trump must finish the job.

A New Mexico jury has found social media company Meta liable for harming children’s mental health and violating state consumer protection laws. Prosecutors argued the company prioritized profits over user safety and failed to adequately protect young users from harmful content and exploitation on its platforms. Meta denied the allegations, saying it discloses risks and actively works to remove dangerous material, while acknowledging that some harmful content can still get through. The company says it plans to appeal the verdict. The decision comes as social media companies face increasing legal challenges nationwide, including a similar case currently being considered by a jury in California.

Senators are discussing a potential deal to end the Homeland Security funding stalemate that has stretched on for weeks and disrupted air travel across the country. The proposal would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, including Transportation Security Administration workers who have been going without pay, but would exclude key Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations at the center of the dispute. The talks follow meetings between Republican senators and President Donald Trump at the White House, as lawmakers work to reach a compromise. Senate leaders say discussions have been “productive,” with both parties expected to review formal proposals. The shutdown has led to long airport lines and staffing shortages, as unpaid TSA workers call out or quit, increasing pressure on Congress to reach a deal quickly.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the stand in a Miami federal courtroom, saying he had no knowledge that former Congressman David Rivera was allegedly lobbying on behalf of Venezuela’s government. Rubio testified he would have been “shocked” to learn of any connection between Rivera and Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, emphasizing that their discussions focused on potential political changes in the country—not support for its government. Prosecutors allege Rivera and a co-defendant were involved in a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort tied to Venezuela and failed to register as foreign agents. The defense argues the work was commercial in nature and did not require registration under federal law. The case centers on whether Rivera violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, with Rubio’s testimony offering key insight into their past interactions and the broader effort to influence U.S. policy toward Venezuela.

The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a mid-decade redistricting plan that gives Republicans an improved chance at winning an additional U.S. House seat in this year’s midterm elections. The decision marks a legal victory for President Donald Trump in a nationwide redistricting battle. But it may not be the final word. Opponents have submitted more than 300,000 petition signatures in an attempt to put the new map to a statewide vote. Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature approved new U.S. House districts in September at the urging of Trump, shortly after Texas Republicans also redrew their congressional districts. Trump is hoping the new districts could help the GOP hold on to its narrow majority in the House, where Democrats need to gain only a few sets in November to win control and impede Trump’s agenda. Opponents had argued that Missouri’s constitution allows redistricting only immediately after a census — not in the middle of a decade. But the state’s high court rejected that argument in a 4-3 decision, concluding there was no explicit prohibition against the Legislature doing redistricting more often.

The Pentagon is weighing deployment of thousands of 82nd Airborne troops as President Donald Trump signals both escalation and openness to a deal with Iran. According to two people familiar with the matter, the Pentagon is expected to send thousands of soldiers to the Middle East from the U.S. Army's elite 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It would add to a massive U.S. military buildup as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran continues. The move would expand options to include deployment of forces inside Iranian territory and could dramatically raise the stakes in the operation, which is already in its fourth week and has roiled global markets. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued to talk about a possible deal with Iran to end the war. Tehran denies the conversations have taken place. "We're in negotiations right now. They're doing it along with Marco, JD, we have a number of people doing it. And the other side, I can tell you they'd like to make a deal." He also said that Iran had made a major energy-related concession to the United States, describing it as a positive development, although he did not give details. Trump suggested the gift was related to the Strait of Hormuz, the oil transit waterway that the United States has struggled to keep open. "They gave us a present. And the present arrived today, and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money." The war with Iran has taken a toll on Trump’s popularity. The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 36%, the lowest since he returned to the White House.
