00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly.
00:00:34.840 It's Wednesday, March 4th, 2026, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:39.560 Texas voters casting their ballots in the U.S. Senate primary on both sides of the aisle.
00:00:44.960 Who carried the night? We'll have the details.
00:00:47.580 We expect exceptional leadership, and you've demonstrated anything but that.
00:00:52.980 Secretary Kristi Noem faces friendly fire in a contentious Senate judiciary hearing.
00:00:58.400 Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? 0.99
00:01:02.060 Iran is run by lunatics. Religious fanatic lunatics. 1.00
00:01:05.520 The conflict with Iran intensifies as new polling finds most Americans still do not understand our objectives.
00:01:12.840 And Virginia's Democrat governor refusing to cooperate with ICE in removing an illegal immigrant arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman to death after more than 30 prior arrests.
00:01:24.040 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:27.760 Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet, and now they're messing with your credit card.
00:01:40.800 They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack, and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system
00:01:48.720 to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
00:01:54.660 Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable.
00:02:01.340 The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing,
00:02:08.900 routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.
00:02:13.720 Find out more at guardyourcard.com and consider telling Congress to guard your card.
00:02:22.160 Texas voters heading to the polls yesterday in a closely watched Senate primary,
00:02:27.060 a race many see as a bellwether for the 2026 midterms,
00:02:31.280 one that became the most expensive on record anywhere in the country,
00:02:35.240 with more than $125 million spent on advertising.
00:02:39.280 On the Democrat side, a sharp contrast in style and energy.
00:02:42.860 Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett leaning hard into identity politics and red meat messaging aimed at energizing the core Democrat base. 0.99
00:02:51.780 State Representative James Tallarico opting for softer rhetoric, but with progressive policies underneath.
00:02:58.440 Crockett risking her safe, albeit drastically changed due to redistricting, House seat to run statewide. 0.74
00:03:05.300 Talarico surging in the final weeks of the campaign, coming to election day with a 10-point lead according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
00:03:14.780 The night ending with the race too close to call.
00:03:17.860 Confusion in Dallas County over polling sites leading a judge to extend voting by two hours,
00:03:24.180 only for the Texas Supreme Court to then block that order.
00:03:27.860 Jasmine Crockett addressing supporters last night.
00:03:30.420 There was a lot of confusion today.
00:03:32.960 We were able to keep the polls open, but I can tell you now that people have been disenfranchised.
00:03:39.300 The reason that we knew that there were problems is because we were receiving the phone calls and the emails.
00:03:45.400 The polls were supposed to stay open until 9, according to a court order.
00:03:49.960 The Supreme Court, just a few minutes ago, just said, shut it down.
00:03:56.800 The Supreme Court also said that they are to separate any votes out that came in after 7 p.m.
00:04:05.720 What this means is that we will not know what votes are to be tallied from election day out of Dallas County.
00:04:14.740 For sure, we won't know that tonight.
00:04:17.560 Knowing that Dallas County is a big dump of votes, we, in my opinion, will not know the election results overall tonight.
00:04:29.220 We may have the early vote soon.
00:04:31.340 If it comes in and I'm losing Dallas County, then we know kind of where this thing is going.
00:04:35.980 NBC News' Steve Kornacki saying on his live stream earlier in the evening, even if the rest of the vote in Dallas County came in, she would still be well short in Dallas of that margin that Tallarico has built.
00:04:49.920 As that mess is sorted out, no Democrat victor is yet declared.
00:04:54.860 Tallarico speaking to his supporters last night.
00:04:57.260 Tonight, our campaign is shocking the nation.
00:05:01.220 We are still waiting for an official call, but we are confident in this movement we've built together.
00:05:11.100 Every vote must be counted.
00:05:15.840 Every voice must be heard.
00:05:18.840 The voter suppression in my home county and in Congresswoman Crockett's home county underscores the gravity of this moment.
00:05:28.440 So this this movement is about whether the people will hold the power in this state and in this country.
00:05:37.440 Tonight, the people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope and a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.
00:05:46.800 I want to thank you all.
00:05:48.600 Thank you for being here.
00:05:50.460 Thank you for being in this fight.
00:05:52.760 God bless you all.
00:05:53.480 On the Republican side, a bitter showdown between incumbent Senator John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Congressman Wesley Hunt.
00:06:02.860 Cornyn first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, facing the most serious primary challenge of his career.
00:06:09.720 Paxton entering Election Day leading in several recent polls.
00:06:13.520 Hunt holding steady a distant third.
00:06:15.560 Senator Cornyn outspending his top competitor, Ken Paxton, $69 million to $4 million, reports the New York Times.
00:06:24.260 And what did it get him?
00:06:25.760 A runoff.
00:06:27.120 With no candidate securing 50% plus one vote, Cornyn and Paxton now headed to a runoff contest.
00:06:33.900 Paxton here speaking to supporters.
00:06:36.300 Together with your support, we just sent a message loud and clear to Washington.
00:06:40.440 We are not going to go quietly, and we are not going to let you buy the seat.
00:06:47.820 Now let's talk about what happened.
00:06:50.600 It was confirmed today that he received the most ad support for an incumbent in a single primary in U.S. history.
00:06:58.420 But we proved something they'll never understand in Washington.
00:07:03.020 Texas is not for sale.
00:07:05.080 The people of Texas made your voices heard.
00:07:07.440 After all the personal attacks, which there were many, and after all the lies,
00:07:13.320 you listened to what John Cornyn was selling, and you weren't buying it.
00:07:17.480 Senator Cornyn with this message.
00:07:19.600 I want to thank everybody who voted for me, and we now head into a 12-week primary runoff.
00:07:25.880 Elections are about choices, and the choice in the Republican race for the U.S. Senate is crystal clear.
00:07:34.060 I refuse to allow a flawed, self-centered, and shameless candidate like Ken Paxton risk everything we've worked so hard to build over these many years.
00:07:48.020 There is simply too much at stake in this midterm election for our state and for our country.
00:07:54.540 The final two years of President Trump's agenda hangs in the balance.
00:08:02.020 That runoff election set for May 26th, and it is expected to be brutal.
00:08:06.700 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, taking heat from both sides of the aisle.
00:08:16.120 Democrats largely focused on Secretary Noem's role in Operation Metro Surge, the federal government's immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota's Twin Cities, deploying thousands of agents to target illegal immigrants.
00:08:27.740 The operation drawing intense public backlash, with highly organized activists tracking federal agents through the city, confronting officers during enforcement activities, and blowing whistles to harass the officers and warn potential targets of the Fed's presence.
00:08:43.960 They helped a lot of child molesters.
00:08:45.920 Cool.
00:08:46.920 Some of those confrontations turning deadly.
00:08:49.100 Two agitators, Renee Good and Alex Preddy, shot and killed by federal officers in separate incidents earlier this year after inserting themselves into ongoing law enforcement operations.
00:09:00.280 In the immediate aftermath, Secretary Noem publicly describing both incidents as acts of domestic terrorism.
00:09:06.900 During yesterday's hearing, Democrats repeatedly pressing the secretary on that characterization.
00:09:12.000 Here, Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Peter Welsh of Vermont, and Adam Schiff of California.
00:09:19.100 Do you retract these statements identifying these individuals as domestic terrorists?
00:09:23.780 We're relying on reports from the ground and from agents that are there and working to be transparent.
00:09:30.060 Do you have anything you want to say to Alex Preddy's parents?
00:09:34.040 We were relying in the hours after that incident that was so horrific on information we were getting from the ground from our agents.
00:09:42.120 One question.
00:09:42.840 Do you want to apologize for that characterization that they were domestic terrorists?
00:09:46.880 I will continue every day to get up and to work hard to give everybody factual information and do all that I can to portray it.
00:09:56.120 How do you imagine you're going to gain the trust of the American people if you're pushing out false information about the shooting of American citizens?
00:10:05.000 I work every day to get factual information to the American people.
00:10:08.420 Well, on that day, you didn't on the day that Alex Preddy was shot, and you certainly didn't on the day Renee Good was shot.
00:10:14.560 You weren't getting out good information.
00:10:16.620 You were making a spurious claim that that has caused endless injury to the victims' families.
00:10:23.880 Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana pressing the secretary on reports of behind-the-scenes tension inside the administration following those deadly encounters.
00:10:32.980 In January, Axios reporting that a blame game had erupted inside Team Trump over the early public messaging.
00:10:40.340 Specifically, DHS's initial claim that Preddy had been seeking to massacre law enforcement.
00:10:46.280 The report quoting Secretary Noem telling a source, quote,
00:10:49.580 Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen Miller.
00:10:53.440 What got my attention was that you blamed those statements on Mr. Stephen Miller at the White House.
00:11:02.520 Did you not?
00:11:03.560 No, sir, I did not.
00:11:05.080 And in fact, where you're seeing that is in a news article of anonymous sources.
00:11:09.180 And anonymous sources say a lot of things, but I've never said that at all.
00:11:14.940 Well, here's what you said on the record.
00:11:18.820 I'm going to read your words.
00:11:20.380 It's, quote, everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen.
00:11:28.020 Sir, where did you see me say that at?
00:11:30.180 You read that in a news article with no sources affiliated to it.
00:11:33.240 You said it on the record on January 27th of 2026.
00:11:40.100 Did you, did I read your words accurately?
00:11:42.460 I enjoy working with the president and with Stephen Miller.
00:11:46.340 And that day we were working to get as much information to the American people as possible.
00:11:51.140 That is what we'll continue to do.
00:11:52.840 And as that happens, we'll go forward.
00:11:54.260 Do you think it was fair to blame Mr. Miller?
00:11:57.740 Sir, I did not do that.
00:11:59.640 One of the more tense moments from the hearing coming from another Republican,
00:12:03.520 Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina, who brought up the story of Noem's puppy, Cricket, from her book.
00:12:09.660 So why am I disappointed with Secretary Noem?
00:12:13.600 We're beginning to get the American people to think that deporting people is wrong.
00:12:18.060 It's the exact opposite.
00:12:20.060 The way you're going about deporting them is wrong.
00:12:23.240 Now, Secretary, I read your book last week.
00:12:28.280 Some of it distresses me.
00:12:30.420 The passage where you talk about killing a dog that was 14 months old.
00:12:35.240 You should know that if you're going out to a hunting lodge and you're putting pheasants out
00:12:39.140 and you're putting dogs out, you don't take a puppy out there.
00:12:42.180 You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time and training.
00:12:46.580 And then you have the audacity to go into a book and say it's a leadership lesson about tough choices.
00:12:53.100 Those are bad decisions made in the heat of the moment.
00:12:57.800 Not unlike what happened up in Minneapolis.
00:13:01.480 I expect we're an exceptional nation.
00:13:03.800 And one of the reasons we're exceptional is we expect exceptional leadership.
00:13:08.680 And you've demonstrated anything but that.
00:13:12.000 Senator Tillis, who did not give Secretary Noem the chance to answer,
00:13:15.820 is retiring at the end of his term in 2027.
00:13:20.580 Coming up, the conflict with Iran expands across the region as new polling indicates most Americans
00:13:26.300 are not satisfied with the Trump administration's explanations as to what we're doing there.
00:13:31.400 And after that brutal bus stop killing we told you about yesterday on AM Update,
00:13:36.540 a standoff between Virginia's governor and federal immigration officials.
00:13:40.880 You will not believe what Abigail is doing now.
00:13:44.380 Are you numb to it yet?
00:13:52.660 This wild ride of life we've lived lately?
00:13:55.820 AI coming for our jobs, geopolitical changes, reshaping alliances, and the market bouncing around like a yo-yo.

00:14:52.160 The conflict with Iran now widening across the region, raising new concerns about the risk of the U.S. being pulled into a broader Middle East war.
00:15:02.480 The State Department now urging Americans in more than a dozen Middle East countries to depart ASAP.
00:15:08.580 Any U.S. citizens in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen urged to leave, quote, due to serious safety risks.
00:15:24.440 Retaliatory attacks from Iran hitting several U.S. targets, including a strike yesterday on the U.S. consulate in Dubai.
00:15:30.640 Officials saying no one was injured and the fire was quickly contained.
00:15:34.940 On Monday, Iranian drones striking the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia.
00:15:39.120 Other civilian targets in Saudi Arabia also struck by the Iranian military.
00:15:43.820 Fox News reporting Saudi Arabia is getting, quote, very close to allowing its own air force to strike inside Iran in response.
00:15:51.120 Sources inside Iran reporting at least 787 have been killed so far in the ongoing operation, though some say those numbers go much higher.
00:16:01.200 The Pentagon releasing the names of the first four U.S. soldiers killed in action.
00:16:05.780 Captain Cody A. Cork, age 35, of Winterhaven, Florida, Sergeant First Class Noah L. Teegens, age 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska, Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amour, age 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and Sergeant Declan J. Cody, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa.
00:16:27.240 Two other service members killed in the strike, their names set to be released 24 hours after their families are notified.
00:16:33.700 More than four days after the start of the conflict, new polling suggesting many Americans are still unclear on the administration's objectives.
00:16:42.360 A CBS survey released yesterday finding 62 percent say the Trump administration has not clearly explained its goals, while 38 percent say it has.
00:16:51.580 After days of muddled messaging, a visibly frustrated Secretary Rubio yesterday spelling it out to reporters on the Hill. 1.00
00:16:58.800 Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? 0.99
00:17:02.460 Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. 1.00
00:17:05.800 They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. 0.99
00:17:08.460 They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. 0.73
00:17:16.800 And this is the weakest they've ever been.
00:17:18.540 Now is the time to go after them.
00:17:19.860 The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.
00:17:29.560 That's why the president made this decision.
00:17:31.180 It was the right decision.
00:17:32.360 And the world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons.
00:17:37.680 Secretary Rubio clearly on the defensive after his statement the day before, admitting the reason we attacked Iran was because of Israel.
00:17:46.200 Here's the secretary on Monday stating why we attacked.
00:17:49.100 It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. 0.53
00:17:58.560 We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. 0.57
00:18:01.120 We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces.
00:18:04.260 And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.
00:18:10.660 There absolutely was an imminent threat.
00:18:12.100 And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believe they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. 0.80
00:18:19.100 A reporter then asked the obvious follow-up.
00:18:22.000 Are you saying the U.S. was forced to strike because of an impending Israeli action?
00:18:26.520 Secretary Rubio first says that no matter what, quote, ultimately, this operation had to happen.
00:18:32.980 He then says, quote, obviously, we were aware of Israeli intentions and understood what that would mean for us.
00:18:39.640 The remarks blew up, with lawmakers and the press all taking the words for their clear meaning.
00:18:45.760 We did it because Israel was going to attack, with or without us. 0.97
00:18:49.180 We anticipated a retaliatory response by the Iranians against us, and we preferred to hit them first. 1.00
00:18:55.680 Left unsaid was why we didn't just tell the Israelis, don't.
00:19:00.140 By Tuesday, Mr. Rubio was suggesting he'd been taken out of context.
00:19:03.960 I was asked a very specific question.
00:19:05.840 So you guys can be misrepresented, but I was asked a very specific question yesterday.
00:19:09.460 The bottom line is this.
00:19:10.760 The president determined we were not going to get hit first.
00:19:12.980 It's that simple, guys.
00:19:14.140 We are not going to put Americans' troops in harm's way.
00:19:16.360 If you tell the president of the United States that if we don't go first, we're going to have more people killed and more people injured, the president's going to go first.
00:19:23.020 So, when he said on Monday that we knew there was going to be Israeli action, which would precipitate an attack against American forces, so we felt we had to act,
00:19:31.760 what he really meant was, we knew there was going to be Israeli action, which would precipitate an attack against American forces, so we felt we had to act.
00:19:41.500 Yesterday, Israel expanding its military campaign, sending ground troops into southern Lebanon as it exchanges strikes with the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah,
00:19:50.540 which has been launching attacks from across the Lebanese border.
00:19:54.280 Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, seeing the expansion of the war, has an opportunity for more U.S. involvement.
00:20:01.920 One thing to President Trump, in case you're watching.
00:20:04.560 In 1983, Ronald Reagan sent Marines and sailors to try to police and deal with the Lebanese Civil War.
00:20:13.220 They were at the end of the runway.
00:20:14.400 Anyway, Hezbollah attacked the Marine barracks, killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and wounded 100 others.
00:20:22.400 So, I'm calling on President Trump today.
00:20:25.380 Join Israel to attack Hezbollah. 0.92
00:20:28.240 Avenge the Marines. 0.65
00:20:30.280 President Trump, come up with a new operation called Semper Fi.
00:20:34.860 Fly with Israel and go after Hezbollah, who has American blood on its hands. 1.00
00:20:39.880 Not only take the mothership of Iran down, also take the proxy of Hezbollah, settle the score, even the account. 0.88
00:20:49.380 Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger.
00:20:52.420 Abigail.
00:20:53.260 Refusing to honor an ICE detainer in the case of that illegal immigrant we told you about yesterday.
00:20:59.220 Accused of fatally stabbing 41-year-old bus passenger Stephanie Minter.
00:21:04.000 Abdul Jalloh, who police say exited a bus with Minter shortly before she was found stabbed to death at a Fairfax County bus stop,
00:21:12.500 arrested more than 30 times since illegally entering the U.S. from Sierra Leone in 2012.
00:21:19.060 His rap sheet, including charges of rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, and larceny,
00:21:24.920 with prosecutors dropping many of the cases.
00:21:27.300 That would be bad enough, but this guy is also an illegal immigrant. 1.00
00:21:32.040 An immigration judge issuing a final order of removal for Jalloh in 2020.
00:21:37.540 Yet protected by sanctuary city laws in Fairfax County, Jalloh remained mostly free until his arrest in Minter's death,
00:21:45.740 only serving time for one incident.
00:21:48.540 Jalloh now in custody without bail, his next hearing set for mid-May.
00:21:52.280 ICE now requesting notification before Jalloh is released again from custody,
00:21:58.220 a standard process in which federal agents take custody of an arrested illegal from a jail
00:22:03.880 rather than allowing release back into the community after the criminal case concludes or once they bail out.
00:22:10.320 Sanctuary jurisdictions like Fairfax County bar that kind of cooperation with the feds.
00:22:16.000 Governor Spanberger's office releasing a statement reading in part,
00:22:18.800 Governor Spanberger firmly believes that violent criminals who are in the United States illegally
00:22:24.560 should be deported by immigration enforcement.
00:22:27.860 DHS should request a signed judicial warrant to ensure this violent criminal is deported.
00:22:35.700 But ICE needs only an administrative warrant issued by DHS to arrest a detainee
00:22:42.260 and to request custody transfers from local jails.
00:22:45.500 That's because immigration enforcement happens under Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution within the executive branch.
00:22:53.220 This new requirement that ICE would also have to go to a federal district court
00:22:58.080 and get a federal arrest warrant from an Article 3 judge is made up by those trying to hassle ICE, like Abigail. 1.00
00:23:07.100 Governor Spanberger's position would require federal officials to clear that added legal threshold
00:23:11.960 before taking custody of a criminal illegal alien.
00:23:15.500 The Trump administration sharply criticizing the governor's response.
00:23:20.380 Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller posting to ICE, quote,
00:23:23.760 Federal judicial warrants are for arresting and charging people to stand trial
00:23:28.020 for specific federal crimes before a judge and a jury.
00:23:31.980 They have nothing to do with deportation.
00:23:34.660 Thousands of criminals are removed every week through this system.
00:23:37.760 In sanctuary cities and states, criminal aliens are simply set free to maim and murder.
00:23:44.280 And that'll do it for your AM update.
