Bessent: Regime Change in Iran | Crooks' 'Bob Dole' Alias | Seth Rogen's No-Kids Brag | 9/16/26

from The A.M. Update

Aaron McIntire covers Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's congressional testimony confirming regime change in Iran is now the administration's goal, plus the Supreme Court's 7 to 2 rejection of Trump's effort to curb mail in ballots ahead of the midterms. He covers newly released FBI documents showing Butler, Pennsylvania shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks ordered firearm parts under the alias Bob Dole, and that an anonymous donor paid for his cremation. Aaron also covers Representative Thomas Massie filing articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and a newly surfaced FBI email seeking to criminally investigate Elon Musk over his DOGE era email to federal workers. He shares missionary Jeff Wood's harrowing testimony of surviving over six years as an al Qaeda hostage in West Africa, and reacts to actor Seth Rogen's comments about choosing not to have children.
