Summary

Aaron McIntire looks at President Trump's latest comments suggesting serious talks with a "new and more reasonable regime" in Iran to wind down military operations, contrasted with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's more cautious tone. We examine Rubio's reset on why Iran remains a long-standing threat and his warning to European NATO allies about the one-sided nature of the relationship. Domestically, Vice President J.D. Vance pushes back hard on Senate Republicans protecting the filibuster ahead of the Save America Act fight. Plus, leaked audio from Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed reveals his reluctance to address the death of Iran's Supreme Leader because "people in Dearborn are sad," new FBI confirmation that the recent synagogue attack was Hezbollah-inspired terrorism, and listener follow-up on the Valero refinery explosion.

0:00.0	It's Tuesday, March 31st, 2026. Is there really a new boss in Iran? Completely predictable news from Michigan.
0:07.2	And I asked questions yesterday and I got one answer next on the AM update.
0:14.7	Welcome up yesterday morning to yet another Monday morning post from President Trump trying to ease the markets.

0:35.1	He said we'll be concluding our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and
0:39.2	completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells, and Karg Island,
0:44.4	if a deal is not reach. But he says he thinks we will reach a new deal, yet another one of
0:49.9	those Monday morning posts trying to calm the markets. His Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
0:55.5	reacting maybe to those words from President Trump, seemed to be a little bit more doubtful.
1:00.2	We're dealing with the people who can actually make decisions in Iran. Here he is on ABC News.
1:05.9	It's unfortunate. The people of Iran are incredible people. The people who lead them, this clerical regime,
1:11.2	that is the problem. And if there are new people now in charge who have a more reasonable
1:15.2	vision of the future, that would be good news for us, for them, for the entire world.
1:18.7	But we also have to be prepared for the possibility, maybe even the probability, that that is not the case.
1:24.7	So there is Marco Rubio saying, quote, if there are new people in charge now with a more reasonable vision, vision.
1:31.0	So he's saying, if those people are actually in charge,
1:33.3	that would be a good thing.
