 | Tuesday, March 10, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1974, Hiroo Onoda became one of the last Japanese soldiers in World War II to formally surrender. Onoda refused to believe the war was over until his former commanding officer came to Lubang Island, where he had been hiding out for almost 30 years, to relieve him of his duties. A quirky competition in England this weekend crowned a new champion in the art of wife carrying, where couples race over obstacles with one partner hoisted on the other’s back. It got us wondering: have you ever carried your spouse or been carried for fun, a race, or even a dare? If there’s a story behind it, we’d love to hear it. Reply to tell us. The partial government shutdown is causing major delays at airports across the country, just in time for spring break. On today's The Flyover Podcast, host Ayla Brown breaks down what's happening with TSA staffing and what travelers should know before heading to the terminal. Tune in here! Today’s sponsor, Immersed, is the AR/VR company behind the Meta Quest store’s top productivity app—already used by 1.5M people—and after 4,000% valuation growth, it’s now preparing for a potential IPO under the reserved NASDAQ ticker $IMRS. | | | |  Oil Tops $100 as Iran War Chokes Global Supply
Oil prices spiked near $120 a barrel overnight Sunday before pulling back Monday, closing around $95 for U.S. crude and just under $99 for the global benchmark, as the Iran war, now in its 11th day, continues to choke traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world's oil supply passes. It was the first time crude topped $100 since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Gas prices at home surged 16% in a single week, with the national average hitting $3.48 a gallon. Speaking to House Republicans in Miami Monday evening, President Trump called the Iranian conflict an "excursion" that would be over "very soon," calling the oil spike a "very small price to pay" for peace. The president said Iranian missile launches are down 90% and drone launches have dropped 83%, and warned Tehran against further choking global supplies, threatening to hit Iran's electricity grid and other "easy" targets. Watch the address here. | Trump Offers Asylum to Iranian Soccer Players President Trump offered asylum Monday to members of Iran's women's national soccer team after players were seen flashing distress signals from their team bus at the Asian Cup in Australia, warning they would "most likely be killed" if sent back. "The U.S. will take them if you won't," he wrote to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. (See the Truth Social post here.) Five players had already escaped their team hotel and were taken to a safe house by Australian police. Trump later said Albanese "is on it." The team arrived in Australia in late February. Days later, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, stranding the players in a country now at war. Before their March 2 opener, they stood silent during Iran's national anthem. State TV back home branded them traitors. In later matches, they sang and saluted, raising fears they'd been coerced by regime minders. On Sunday, fans surrounded the team bus chanting, "Save our girls." | What Travelers Left Behind in 2025 Unclaimed Baggage, the nation's only retailer of lost airline luggage, released its annual Found Report, highlighting the oddest articles found in people's suitcases, including a matching set of samurai swords, a fully assembled robot, and a WWII-era leather flight jacket.
Also left behind: a meteorite, a beekeeping suit, gold-plated golf clubs, a suitcase full of rat poison, and a teak didgeridoo. The priciest finds included $43,000 diamond earrings, a $35,000 Rolex, and a $12,500 Balenciaga leather jacket. The company gets the rare bags airlines can't reunite with owners after 99.9% are returned, then sorts, cleans, and resells them at its store in Scottsboro, Alabama, which has become a tourist destination in its own right. Items are also available online here.
