What are the key headlines for March 31st, 2025?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, March 31st, 2025. And this is your AM Update.
If you think you're going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody, you've got another thing coming.
Trump administration officials stand united against calls to fire National Security Advisor Mike Walz for inadvertently adding a reporter to a private group chat.
We're on the third Columbia University president. And this one, let's be honest, Maria, is not going to last as well.
Columbia University gets a new interim president, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, casting doubt on the latest's ability to crack down on illegal campus protesting. President Trump warning Russian President Vladimir Putin if Russia is responsible for delaying a Ukraine peace agreement, there will be repercussions. The Iranian regime rejecting calls for direct nuclear negotiations as the Trump administration promises a wave of bombs, not to mention tariffs, if they don't come to the table. The White House Correspondents Association canceling its featured entertainer for the planned annual dinner. What was the deal breaker? All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. You know how much my family and I love our dogs, right? Focus a lot of attention on Strudwick in particular. These dogs have a great life. They are lucky, but some dogs aren't. And this is why I'm so glad to tell you about Delta Rescue. It's the largest no-kill, care for life animal sanctuary in the world. They have rescued thousands of dogs, plus cats and horses too.
They provide all the animals with shelter, safety, and most of all, love. And they've been doing it now for more than 45 years. Delta Rescue relies solely on contributions to stay open and giving can bring tax benefits too. Speak with your estate planner about how you can grow your estate while helping animals in need and check out the estate planning tab on their website to learn more. We love our Thunder and Stradwick, but we'd love for other dogs who need care and attention and shelter to find those things too. Visit deltarescue.org today to learn more. That's deltarescue.org.
Why is President Trump standing by Mike Walz?
After a week of intense pressure from Democrats and the media, President Trump is standing by National Security Advisor Mike Walz, despite seemingly inadvertently adding a reporter to a private group chat outlining attack plans on Houthi rebels. Axios reporting Trump insiders saying, quote, President Trump seriously considered firing National Security Advisor Mike Walz, but cooled down and talked himself out of it, partly to deny his critics the satisfaction. President Trump telling NBC News in an off-camera interview, quote, I don't fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts. Vice President J.D. Vance on Friday from Greenland also lending support to the team.
And now the same American media that covered for the Biden administration after the untimely death and the unnecessary death of 13 brave Americans is really, really interested in forcing the president of the United States to fire someone because of a signal chat, because of a signal chat. That is not. Honest behavior from the American media. And if you think you're going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody, you've got another thing coming. President Trump has said it on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday. And I'm the vice president saying it here on Friday. We are standing behind our entire national security team.
Mr. Walz vacated his congressional seat to take a job with the Trump administration. The special election will be held tomorrow in Florida's 6th District. The current balance of power in the House is 218 to 213, giving Republicans a very slight edge. In tomorrow's election, Republican Randy Fine is facing off against Democrat Josh Wheal. The media portraying the race as a source of anxiety for the GOP.
Republicans are right now worried about a special election in the deep red Florida congressional district, once held by Trump National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. Republican anxiety mounts over special elections for two deep red congressional seats in Florida, which are more competitive than they should be.
