plea deals for the three terrorists involved in the September 11th attacks are back in play. A military appeals court ruled yesterday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overstepped his authority when he voided the agreements for the men.

President Biden is closing out the year and his presidency severely underwater on job approval. The latest Real Clear Politics average gives the outgoing president a negative 18-point gap, with just 39% approving of his handling of the job, while 57% disapprove. While that gap is among the worst of his presidency, that far more Americans disapprove of him is nothing new.
Morning Wire
9-11 Terrorist Plea Deal & Puerto Rico’s Power Grid | Afternoon Update | 12.31.24
Biden has been consistently underwater in approval since his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal in August of 2021.

2020, so locking that in for Trump's whole term.
Morning Wire
Biden's Ukraine Aid & Border Wall Sale Paused | 12.31.24
But that's for taxpayer-funded employees. It seems when it comes to their own union employees, they have sort of a different perspective here.
Morning Wire
Biden's Ukraine Aid & Border Wall Sale Paused | 12.31.24
So the union president contends he has the right to tell his own operatives that they need to come into the office and he rejects the claim that it violates a contract. Is Trump going to be able to say the same thing about all federal employees?
Morning Wire
Biden's Ukraine Aid & Border Wall Sale Paused | 12.31.24
And definitely surprising that these agency headquarters are still largely empty. And it really gets to the question of whether government agencies exist to serve the public or their own workforce. Luke, thanks for reporting. Sure thing.

What else is on the chopping block?
Morning Wire

Pretty dramatic middle image there. Now, as Georgia mentioned at the top, the legacy media is entangled in this USAID controversy. What have we learned on that front?
Morning Wire
DOGE Probes the Fed & Trump’s Gaza Proposal Fallout | 2.6.25
President Trump and Elon Musk are rooting out fraud, waste, and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars in the federal government.
Morning Wire
DOGE Probes the Fed & Trump’s Gaza Proposal Fallout | 2.6.25
Right. And in fact, we're digging into this and we'll have more on this soon. Now, we've mentioned Musk and the central role he's playing. What else is he focusing on?
Morning Wire

Very Muskian approach for sure. Amanda, thanks for reporting.

It's been weeks since wildfires ravaged parts of L.A., and even though the fires are now out, the political heat is really just now starting to pick up.

And as we've seen, these types of things don't often turn out as the planners planned necessarily.
Morning Wire

Morning Wire
Hegseth’s Nomination Fight & U.S. v. Skrmetti | 12.5.24
Okay, so passion on both sides outside the high court. Let's get to the heart of the arguments. Did the justices offer any clues as to how they were leaning based on their questions?
Morning Wire
Hegseth’s Nomination Fight & U.S. v. Skrmetti | 12.5.24
And DEI may be flaming out as fast as it arrived. We discussed the latest corporate walkback and why we could soon see many more.

The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
All right. Well, Miles, thank you so much for making time for us today.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
That was Hillsdale College professor Miles Smith. And this has been a special Thanksgiving episode of Morning Wire. And happy Thanksgiving from all of us on the team. And if you're interested, you can visit the show description for a link to last year's fan favorite interview, which was about the true history of Thanksgiving.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
In this episode, we speak to a Hillsdale College professor about the Pilgrims' long-term impact, how it ties into the modern culture wars, and the future of religiosity in the United States. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Thursday, November 28th. Happy Thanksgiving. And this is Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
So when they arrived, did they create a society altogether or did they split off and the pilgrims made their own plantation and the offals fended for themselves?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Now, when they got there, historically, we think of the pilgrims as being a very pious group. But if only 30 percent were actually part of that cohort, did the I don't want to keep calling them awfuls, but did the other people absorb some of their ways and mannerisms or did the pilgrims moderate to accommodate them?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Now, I want to go back to life on the ships. This is 40 or 50 days in the North Atlantic. Was that considered safe at that time, or were they taking their lives in their hands doing this?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Here to discuss the Pilgrims and their long and interesting influence on American culture is Hillsdale College Professor of History, Miles Smith. Dr. Smith, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Now, I want to get to some of their cultural impact. So you talked about how some of the maybe less religious members of this community absorbed some of the cultural customs of the pilgrims. How did this early Christian commune, for lack of a better word, I guess it was a commune.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
How did that first Christian culture impact the subsequent expansion of Christianity in the United States? Because we think of the United States of having maybe a slightly culturally different brand of Christianity than some other places.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
So listeners may recall last year we brought on a Plymouth Plantation historian to talk about the true story of the first Thanksgiving. And that was a fan favorite episode, which we're gonna link to in the description. But this year I wanna talk about the Pilgrims' cultural legacy in America. So first off, who were the Mayflower Travelers? That group included more than just pilgrims.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Now, you mentioned that people had to attend church every single Sunday to be part of the society. That itself has certain social impacts. So, for example, it limits the distance you can live from the church. You can't really travel for extended periods. So it has some trickle-down effects on society just beyond the religiosity, and it really affects the social cohesion.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
When did that rule go by the wayside, and what were the effects of that?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
So for 200 years, though, people were expected to attend their local township church and they would get a fine if they didn't show up?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
I didn't realize that the Salem witch trials were such a significant factor in secularizing America. I mean, culturally, of course, everyone knows about them, but that's a very significant downstream effect.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
Now, what was the cultural effect of that? I'm thinking if you had a society where everyone had to show up at a certain place to do a cultural activity or religious activity together and then suddenly you don't have to, I imagine that would exponentially create a more individualistic society. What was the effect of that?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
How did that group come together and who did it include?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
You know, it's very interesting. I'm actually from Massachusetts and most Massachusetts people will remember a time when you could only buy alcohol at the liquor store. You needed a license just to go into the store and the hours were very restricted, closed before noon, closed on Sundays. I think they may still be closed on holidays.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
And I was actually very scandalized when I went to school out of state in Colorado and I saw you could buy alcohol in the grocery store. So there were just some peculiar things about the Northeast that lasted, I think, much longer than most people realize. So how did we go from the point of having this religiosity in the Northeast to the center of gravity of religiosity now being the Southeast?
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
So last question, some of your specialty, it sounds like you watch religious trends. And so no doubt you've kind of kept tabs on the past, say, 10 years, the rise of the religious nuns is sometimes how it's phrased. People who say they are not any religion, so not necessarily atheist, but certainly not weekly church attenders.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
However, Megan Basham, one of my colleagues, has reported for us recently that that trend may be slowing, may be crested around 2020. And in very recent years, the past, I would say, two years, I've seen some headlines and articles about the rise of religiosity among young people, specifically young men. I saw one about traditional Catholicism in New York City having a mini-boomlet.
Morning Wire
The Pilgrim Legacy: From the Mayflower to Modern America
And anecdotally, I've heard that the Presbyterian Church has had big growth on college campuses, especially with young men growing. Is this a trend that you have kept an eye on and something that you expect to see more of?

Daily Wire reporter Cassie Akiva is here now with the story. Hey, Cassie. So you've been closely tracking this for months now and have been in touch with the Fogel family, particularly Mark's mother, Malfine. Before we get to his release, this has really taken a toll on the Fogel family. What has this been like for them?
Morning Wire
Trump-Putin Phone Call & DOGE Hearing | 2.13.25
So very similar to the Brittany Greiner situation.
Morning Wire
Trump-Putin Phone Call & DOGE Hearing | 2.13.25
Right now, Trump famously reached out to the family last year. What can you tell us about their meeting?
Morning Wire
Trump-Putin Phone Call & DOGE Hearing | 2.13.25
Just an incredible emotional moment. You can feel his overwhelming relief and wonderful to hear his mother being shouted out for her endurance in all this. What a week for the Fogel family. I can't imagine. Cassie, thank you so much for tracking the story and reporting for us.

Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Now, anyone who's gone on social media has probably seen the memes and the comments. Mangione actually has a lot of support. That's actually become one of the biggest aspects of this whole story. Tell us more on that.
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Now, it's not just anonymous social media users. There's some pretty prominent people who are saying this.

Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Thursday, December 12th, and this is Morning Wire. A controversial federal agency at the center of censorship allegations is now set to close down.
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
The man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare's CEO continues to gain notoriety, even as evidence stacks up against him.

Well, that's very scary for them. Cabot, thanks for reporting.
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham is here now with the details. So Megan, before we get into why the Global Engagement Center now looks like it's going to be shut down, for those who haven't been tracking this story, can you quickly remind listeners about its background and why it's been so controversial?
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Now, what's the actual evidence that that was the GEC's mission?
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Now, presumably, Republicans taking over the White House and the Senate is what's prompting the potential end of this agency?

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.
Morning Wire
Suspected Killer’s Infamy & GEC’s Likely Demise | 12.12.24
Although if the GEC's staffers are just getting reassigned elsewhere, you have to wonder what their new roles are. Megan, thanks for reporting. Anytime. The massive influx of migrants under the Biden administration has strained the resources of many of America's major cities.

And now residents in Chicago are tearing into Mayor Brandon Johnson over the city's spending to house and feed illegal immigrants.

Morning Wire

Joining us to lay out the data is Daily Wire reporter Mairead Elordi. So Mairead, how are economists interpreting this latest data?
Morning Wire
Investment Up, GDP Down & Drill, Baby, Drill | 5.1.25
So the Trump administration is feeling somewhat positive. How are they responding to critics?
Morning Wire
Investment Up, GDP Down & Drill, Baby, Drill | 5.1.25
And we should be celebrating Trump policy and that number. Now, we've also heard the Trump administration say that more companies are coming back to U.S. soil. What do we know about that?
Morning Wire
Investment Up, GDP Down & Drill, Baby, Drill | 5.1.25
Well, a lot to watch here, and we're going to continue watching each of these markers. Mairead, thanks for reporting. Thanks, Georgia.
Morning Wire

The Trump administration is looking to break America's reliance on Chinese natural resources by expanding domestic mining and drilling. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum is playing a key role in that effort.

Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
And what are the reasons for that? One thing that comes to mind is there's sort of some consolidation among older people buying multiple homes and younger people buying none.
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
In this episode, we speak to a former Wall Street analyst and financial author about why this housing bubble is unique and what he expects to see in the near future. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Sunday, March 9th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
And are we seeing delisting rates climb? Is that where that comes in?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Now, you and the Wall Street Journal highlighted that there are some very significant regional differences in the real estate market. For example, Florida and Texas have an overabundance of supply, whereas other places have a persistent shortage. What's causing that?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Now, is the migration of people moving to those states slowing?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Joining us to discuss what he's calling the weirdest housing bubble ever is financial analyst and five-time author John Rubino. John, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Newsweek put out an article calling Austin, Texas ground zero for the market downturn. First off, can you explain what you've seen there? And also, do you think other hot cities are going to follow? And how long will that take?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Now, you argue that the traditional boom-bust resolutions aren't going to suffice this time around, in part because other costs are going up. What's unique about this bubble?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Nice to meet you, too. So you had a recent Substack where you said that we are living through the weirdest housing bubble ever, and you outline a few reasons for that. Particularly, you point to the age of first-time homebuyers. Can you unpack why this is such a unique time for homebuyers?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
Now, I know that in the past few years, I had read that companies like BlackRock are buying up a lot of housing, and I imagine that's different from past generations. How widespread is corporate ownership of things like single-family homes, and is that a big factor?
Morning Wire
Weirdest Housing Bubble Ever: Will Your State Crash? | 3.9.25
seems to be you know reaching kind of peak complexity right now where home prices are starting to roll over and the next year the story is going to be instead of high house prices it's going to be all the discounts you can get wow now do you think there are going to be some areas that are insulated from price drops i know for example in 2008 some places the price is leveled out and other places it totally cratered where do you think is going to be relatively stable
Morning Wire

Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now I'm reviewing some of the larger line items in your report. I see we have about half a billion dollars going to diversity, equity and inclusion hiring. And then we have diversity, equity and inclusion programming that's getting 340 million. And then we also have diversity, equity and inclusion based mental health slash social emotional learning. And that got 169 million.
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
What is this social emotional learning component?
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now, another line item I'm seeing is from Philadelphia Public Schools, which people who follow education know they are really struggling. And they've received almost $4 million for restorative justice. And that was modeled after Oakland Unified School District, which, by the way, also having a hard time. Can you explain what restorative justice is and why that's a red flag? Yeah.
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Joining us to discuss the massive DEI spending spree in K through 12 public schools is Nikki Neely, president and founder of Parents Defending Education. Nikki, thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. So I wanted to bring you on to talk about this $1 billion of Department of Education spending that's gone on over the past three or four years that's going to DEI specifically.
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
At least $1 billion has been spent on DEI in public schools since 2021. In this episode, we speak with a parent activist about how those tax dollars are being spent and what to expect from the incoming Trump administration. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley, and this is a special edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now, another item that I picked out here, we have a Michigan school district that spent over $38,000 in one day for an equity consultant. Is that standard pricing for that kind of program? And if so, how common is this?
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Have we seen a decline in the number of schools that are hiring these types of equity consultants? I know a couple years ago, there was a lot of outcry and parents going to school board meetings. We haven't heard as much about that over the past, say, six months to a year. Has it persisted and just the zeitgeist has moved on, or are we actually seeing a decrease?
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now, you brought up the incoming Trump administration. What do we know about his new appointee for the Department of Education?
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now, Trump's first education secretary, Betsy DeVos, was very focused on charter schools. Is Linda McMahon also very pro-charter, or is she primarily tasked with cutting down the department?
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Well, that will be a welcome change for a lot of parents. Nikki, thanks so much for coming on. Thank you so much for having me. That was Nikki Neely, president and founder of Parents Defending Education. And this has been a special edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Prioritizing DEI Over Education | 1.5.25
Now, put in context this $1 billion, is this a drop in the bucket for what the Department of Education normally spends, or is this a pretty significant line item?

Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, I want to unpack some of the things that you touched on. But first, just wondering, you said 50 percent of Californians said they're open to voting for a Republican. How much of a swing is that from baseline? I mean, has a poll like this been done in the past?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, the most recent stress test of this, it's not exactly apples to apples, but Rick Caruso ran for mayor as a conservative Democrat, but he failed to win in Los Angeles. So do you think that the ticket to win is to run as a Democrat and just be to the right of the more progressive candidate? Or do you think you can come out and actually win under the GOP banner?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
A recent poll showed 48% of Californians are considering voting Republican in the next gubernatorial election. In this episode, we speak to entrepreneur and bestselling author Steve Hilton about what went wrong in California and why it's ripe for political change. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Sunday, March 30th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Joining us now to discuss the pent-up frustrations fueling the California political shift is entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Steve Hilton. Steve, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, something you touched on earlier was that the fires opened the eyes of a lot of people. Just this week, there was a release that said four million Californians live in fire danger zones. Just wondering, because you might have more information on this than me, is that a policy failure or is that just the reality of the climate in California and where some of these homes are built?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Good to be with you. So, Steve, a variety of polls right now are showing that voters are not happy with Democrats, including in deep blue California. Do you think there's a chance a conservative candidate could actually win in 2026 for the governor's race?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, California also announced a nearly $1 billion deficit last week. It's pretty stunning considering that we think of California as an extremely wealthy state with a huge tax base. They have Silicon Valley, for example. So where is all that money going?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, all of the failures that you mentioned are actually fueling a lot of people to leave the state. Just for example, I left about five years ago and pretty much every conservative I know was either planning to leave or has left just in the past few years. So it's striking that 48 to 50 percent of Californians say they'd be open to voting for the GOP.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
I suppose this would be hard to measure, but is this newly minted conservative voters because the rest of us have left? Or what do we know about the demographics there?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, I want to talk to you about your book. It's hard to distill it down, but what would you say are the top two, three, five things that California could do to change their trajectory?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, feel free to punt on this, but if you were to make a short list of people who you think get the job done could get into office in California, so both get the job done in terms of turning the state around, but also appeal to a purple to blue electorate, who would you say those candidates are that you'd recommend?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
All right. Well, Steve, thank you so much for coming on.

So Trump's political strategy was unconventional, but it proved to be remarkably successful. Of course, that's only half the story. What went wrong for Democrats?
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
2024 was a landmark year in American politics, with a presidential campaign that saw unprecedented twists and turns and culminated in the most stunning electoral comeback in modern history. In this special end-of-year edition of Morning Wire, we're going to take a step back to look at the bigger picture, as what was once breaking news makes its way into the history books.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Now, the economy was obviously a huge issue in this last election. According to exit polling, voters who said it was their top concern overwhelmingly broke for Trump, something like 81%, according to NBC. But at the same time, we were told by the Biden administration that the economy was doing great. So what was their main source of discontent?
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
And Vice President Harris was at the top of the ticket, not the sitting president.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
But Harris herself was also soundly defeated, and Democrats also lost control of both houses, so it wasn't just him.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
So the top of the Democratic ticket appears to have been unusually weak. They were also underwater on the key issues driving voters to the polls. But they did see some big wins on abortion in particular.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Looking back, unprecedented might be the word of the year for 2024. Donald Trump was reelected to the presidency after a narrow defeat in 2020, becoming the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms and the first in more than 100 years. For the first time in American history, a major presidential candidate was convicted on felony charges.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Well, abortion also wasn't the only issue that Democrats leaned on. President Trump faced some significant legal challenges even during the course of his campaign.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Now, do you think that sort of heated rhetoric played into the attempts on the president's life?
Morning Wire

The other major candidate, Joe Biden, dropped out of the race less than a month before his party's convention. And the future of that political party is now totally up in the air. Joining us to discuss all of this is Daily Wire researcher and contributor Michael Whitaker. So, Michael, let's start at the beginning. How did we get here?

Final question here. I know we're going to wrap up. For the series, what are you hoping parents get out of this series? What's your ultimate goal here?
Morning Wire
Jordan Peterson Interview: “Parenting as Sacred Duty”
You know, one of the things, of course, this is what you do, but bringing our minds into our parenting in a more strategic way. I think a lot of people parent by emotion, and that's part of it. But it's good to hear this sort of stepping back and looking, thinking, what are the trends? How does this turn out over time? Repeat it, say, every single day. Every single day, man. It's huge.
Morning Wire
Jordan Peterson Interview: “Parenting as Sacred Duty”
Use it. Use it for the good. And you say this, you say this in your sort of teaser episode. I mean, what an honor to have that role, to embrace it. It's hard, but in the end, so rewarding, just like you really convey in your series. Dr. Peterson, thank you so much for joining us. My pleasure.

Morning Wire
Jordan Peterson Interview: “Parenting as Sacred Duty”
With the parents that you've spoken to so far for the show, do you feel like a lot of their questions are rooted in this issue, this idea of a fear of embracing sort of the harder edge parts of the parenting roles?

I might have caved a few times. I'm just going to go ahead and confess that.

Morning Wire
Jordan Peterson Interview: “Parenting as Sacred Duty”
And I don't know if this is actually a real study. I've always heard the discussion about the studies that show that children within fenced areas use more of the space than children in areas that are not fenced in. Is this true, psychologically true, that we actually want boundaries? We want a sense of how far we can go?

You've released episode zero to the public, which is what we're calling it around here. It's sort of a teaser, but episode one goes live Sunday. I wanna, of course, ask you about the show, but first I wanted to ask you something personal. What was one of your proudest parenting moments?

Joining us now is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo, who conducted an exclusive interview with Daniel Perry. Hey, Amanda.

First, can you recap the case for listeners who might not be familiar?

Executive Orders Halted: Are Judges Overstepping? | 3.23.25
Over the last few weeks, we've seen several district judges put a halt to some of President Trump's executive orders, including his dismantling of USAID, his firing of thousands of government workers, and his ban on people who identify as transgender from serving in the military. Do these judges have this authority, or is this judicial overreach?

Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
In this episode, we speak with Heritage Foundation Vice President for National Security and Foreign Policy Victoria Coates about the uphill battle Trudeau faces and what comes next. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's December 22nd, and this is a Sunday edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, a lot of people are pointing to Trump's return to power as one of the factors that's causing some of this turmoil in Canada, particularly relating to his tariff threats. Is there any truth to that?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Justin Trudeau's popularity, you mentioned, is at an all-time low. And you did mention that there's some economic factors there contributing. What other issues are leading to his unpopularity? Is it primarily just the depreciating dollar or what else is going on?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Last week, Canada's finance minister and one of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's closest allies resigned, sending shockwaves throughout Parliament. Krista Freeland's resignation caused a chain reaction of Parliament members demanding that the Prime Minister resign.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, we recently saw Trudeau visit Mar-a-Lago and be somewhat deferential to Trump. Is that a good strategy for him with regards to his relationship with the U.S., or is that just going to weaken him further?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, opposition leader Pierre Palliev is gaining momentum all while Trudeau craters. What do you think his chances are in the event of a vote?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, the housing shortage in Canada was voted the most consequential story of 2024 by Canadian press outlets. How big is the crisis there in Canada and how is it shaping the discontent?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
All right. Well, Victoria, thank you so much for coming on. Absolutely a pleasure. Thank you, Georgia. That was Victoria Coates, Vice President of National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation. And this has been a Sunday edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Joining us now is Victoria Coates, vice president of national security and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation. So, Victoria, quite a bit of chaos happening in Canada. First off, Krista Freeland, Canada's finance minister, resigned this past week. How significant is that and what does her departure suggest about the internal fractures within the Liberal Party?

Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
Now, you mentioned that there's some groundswell in the media to put these companies on the hot seat. Something interesting, I'm sure you've already observed this, that I've seen just in the past, say, month or two, I keep seeing articles from legacy media that seem to defend processed foods. So just a couple examples.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
The Times recently ran a headline, Why Ultra-Processed Foods Aren't Always Bad, about a month before they ran a title. Are seed oils actually bad for you? The subhead there was RFK Jr. and others claim they're harming our health, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Time magazine ran a piece titled, What if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So just to the casual observer, it kind of seems just as this issue has grown recently that some of these big media entities are actively taking the side of big food. So what's going on there? Are they just being contrary to anything they perceive to be a Trump-aligned cause, or do they have a financial stake in the food industry?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So what are some very low-hanging fruit items that are actionable in terms of regulations that could be easily rolled out that would have a high impact? Like what would you say are your top five things that you'd like to see happen?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
that will force the food companies to remove artificial food dyes. Right. So do you believe RFK is the guy who can make this happen? Obviously, that's just one of these health departments. We also have Marty McCary coming in with the FDA. Do you think this is the team that can get it done?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
All right, well, Vani, thank you so much for coming on. Thank you for having me. That was Vani Hari, bestselling author, activist, and the creator of the Food Babe blog. And this has been a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
In this episode, we speak with Vani Hari, longtime food activist and New York Times bestselling author, who was in the room supporting Kennedy during his Senate hearings. She'll explain why she believes parents are finally winning the battle to get chemicals out of kids' food. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
It's Sunday, February 2nd, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Joining us to discuss the war over chemical-laced packaged food is Vani Hari, best-selling author, activist, and creator of the Food Babe blog. Vani, thanks so much for coming on. Thank you so much for having me. So first off, tell me a little bit about your path to food activism.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
How did you become interested in nutrition to begin with?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So that brings me to my next question. On your website, you currently have a petition going about Kellogg's. What are you pursuing there?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So what is their motivation to continue with this? Is it that they make it hyperpalatable because they think they would just lose a lot of market share if they made the foods less exciting to taste or look at?

Inside America’s Nuclear Comeback & AI Revolution
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Sunday, May 18th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Here to discuss the Trump administration's nuclear renaissance is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. So Cabot, you recently joined the energy secretary and others at a historic nuclear laboratory. We're going to get to that visit. But first, big picture.
Morning Wire
Inside America’s Nuclear Comeback & AI Revolution
As part of their efforts to increase domestic energy production, the Trump administration is pushing for a nuclear renaissance that will power AI and other technologies.

Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
Now, you mentioned that they're taking these billions and putting them back into lobbying. Has that dovetailed with an increase in support for their cause? Or what are we seeing in terms of trends of how Americans feel about the transgender issue?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
In the crosstabs, you can find that 42% of Democrats and 43% of Kamala Harris voters also agree that tax dollars should not be spent on gender transitions. Do you think that this is a weighty enough issue, though, for them to reconsider their vote?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
Now, when Trump won the White House in November, this did rank surprisingly high as an issue. Obviously, it wasn't top one or two, but we did learn from various studies that it did sway some of those middle voters. Do you think that it's maintained that level of interest for voters, or do you think it's falling in the rankings in terms of how important this is for people?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
Now, you mentioned that voters oppose spending tax dollars on transitions for both minors and adults. I know maybe 10 years ago when this issue first came into the fray, people mostly said just let adults do what they want. And you even saw some of that attitude towards children. Do you think or is there evidence that people are souring on the concept of transitioning even for people over 18?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
I'm excited to be here. So I want to discuss this poll that you just did with your organization, American Principles Project. You commissioned this looking forward to the 2026 midterms. Can you tell me a little bit about the poll and what you were looking to learn?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
Now, you brought up Gavin Newsom, who recently pivoted on this issue. I think a lot of people are watching him with the suspicion that he's making a play for a presidential run in the future. Do you think that the smart Democrat move is to differentiate on this issue? And if he did that, do you think he'd have a chance?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
All right. Well, it's going to be very interesting to see how Democrats thread this needle going forward in 2026 and beyond. Terry, thank you so much for coming on. Anytime. Thank you so much. That was Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project. And this has been a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25
Now, what's the goal of the American Principles Project, and how are you intending to use this data?
Morning Wire
Transgender Issue Unites Voters Ahead of Midterms | 4.13.25

It's Sunday, April 13th, and this is Morning Wire. Joining us to discuss the new poll is Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project. Terry, thanks so much for coming on.

Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
In this episode, we speak with Jennifer Say, the founder of XXXY Athletics, about the impact of Wednesday's monumental executive order and where the movement goes from here. I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, February 8th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Joining us now is founder of XXXY Athletics, Jennifer Say.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
You know, our listeners, they might remember our interview with you over the summer after you launched your new brand. And we've been watching it with interest. This is something that aligns with the Daily Wire's focus on the transgender agenda. Our parent company's launch of Jeremy's Razors back in 2022 and then Lady Ballers the next year was really a part of that focus.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
The public messaging part of this is very interesting and is very relevant given that we're coming up on the Super Bowl. Many people watch the Super Bowl more for the ads than the actual games these days. But regarding the messaging potential with brands like yours and Jeremy's Razors, what have you seen in terms of response to your messaging in the public sphere?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Yeah, for sure. One of the things that's striking about both of those commercials, who's the real victim is the question that the left has their answer for. And I think a growing majority of people say, no, no, the true victims are the girls. The true victims are the women.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
And you guys do a great job of highlighting all the blood, sweat and tears put into this to athletics only to be undermined by a male in their competition.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Jennifer, first of all, thank you so much for joining us again.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
So look, you were at Trump's signing of the executive order. It's called Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports. You were there because your team has really shaken things up on this issue. You've also gotten a lot of attention this week in particular. You released a short film. You've had some commercials that have really gone viral, including one specifically calling out Nike.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Well, as you guys rightly point out, too, look, Nike, these are just giants in the industry, have controlled the messaging. They've done the most shaping of the culture of anybody, right?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
And you specifically called them out. Do you see any indication that they might relent on this? They might reverse on this issue?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Well, an absolutely critical issue here that your team and ours here at The Daily Wire has been very focused on highlighting. And now we're seeing some real change here. Jennifer, thank you so much for talking with us.

Got it. And what you're describing is called the Belt and Road Initiative. Can you unpack that a little bit more for us?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
In this episode, we sit down with an expert on the region to discuss America's shifting focus in Africa and what it might look like in the new Trump administration. I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe, and this is a special edition of Morning Wire. Joining us now to discuss how the U.S. is approaching Africa is the head of Eurasia Group's Africa Practice, Amaka Onku.
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Sure. And how are these types of programs going? How is it actually playing out in terms of building infrastructure, et cetera, what they're supposed to be accomplishing? And how do citizens there feel about them?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Obviously, there's a debt involved here with these loans. Do a lot of these countries end up finding themselves in crippling debt? Are they able to actually pay their way out of them? How's that playing out?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
So now the Biden administration is giving $1 billion in U.S. aid. What is that designated to do? What kinds of stipulations does that come with in terms of how it can be used?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Amaka, thank you so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
So President Biden just made this first ever presidential trip to Angola and announced over a billion dollars in U.S. aid to that country. The U.S. has made several trips to Africa in recent years, largely to combat China's growing influence in the region. First, for our listeners, can you give us some background on China's presence in the region?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Right. There's that political drive to make things seem more generous than they are a lot of times. How do you think the presence of rare earth minerals that we use in many electronics, including semiconductors and EVs, how does that play into both China and the U.S. desire to influence Africa?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
We're about to have a new administration, the Trump administration. Do you see anything changing in regard to what was just promised to Angola as the new administration comes in? Is this the kind of thing that might be reversed or not?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Yeah, it makes sense. And what do you think the future of Western nations and G7 nations in Africa is going to look like in the next decade or so?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
You brought up Russia. I would like to ask specifically about that. What is Russia's role or influence in the region in Africa in general?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Final question. From your perspective, what do you think is one of the most important things to keep an eye on in the next couple of years in terms of developments with relationships between the U.S. and Africa?
Morning Wire
The New Battleground: U.S. vs. China in Africa | 1.4.25
Yeah, well, let's hope that we do see that progress. Amaka Onku, thank you so much for talking with us.

Final question. You were the man that officially changed the name Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Do you have any more name changes coming?
Morning Wire

If you're taking suggestions, maybe we could rename one of the Great Lakes the Leftist Tears Reservoir in honor of our mugs here. But I won't put you on the spot for that one. Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for your time.
Morning Wire
Drill, Mine, Build: Inside Trump’s Energy Revolution
Now, I want to talk about some of your efforts on mining. You've described the war on mining that's been taking place in this country under the last administration. China recently halted the export of a number of rare earth minerals. You're now pushing to make America less dependent on China and to open up America's mining of those minerals. Talk to us about those efforts.
Morning Wire
Drill, Mine, Build: Inside Trump’s Energy Revolution
I think when a lot of people hear about deregulation, their eyes can kind of gloss over. But tangibly, you're a former businessman. What does deregulating something like the mining industry, what does that do for efficiency and for speed now that more and more Americans are concerned about the idea of being tied to a Chinese supply chain?
Morning Wire

All right, we're now joined by Doug Burgum, Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Secretary, thanks for being here.

Morning Wire
Drill, Mine, Build: Inside Trump’s Energy Revolution
This is awesome. We were up in Mammoth Cave earlier, spelunking, doing some cave diving. Yeah, literally, I couldn't really recognize you. It was the first time I've seen you outside of a cave. Yeah, that's why we look so pale, because we weren't getting any natural light. For our audience who might not be aware, what does the Interior Department encompass? Walk us through your role there.
Morning Wire
Drill, Mine, Build: Inside Trump’s Energy Revolution
Now your department has recently been partnering with Doge to find and root out inefficiencies. As a businessman, were there any particularly egregious examples of waste or inefficiency that when you took over you said, hey, if this is one of my businesses, we would've cut this years ago. Were there any specific examples and what are you looking towards to find cuts?
Morning Wire
Drill, Mine, Build: Inside Trump’s Energy Revolution
You mentioned earlier the amount of land owned by the federal government. And I grew up on the East Coast, and I think a lot of people on the East Coast are unaware of how much land out West in states like Nevada is controlled by the federal government. Do you have any interest in opening up some of those federal land tracts for housing or commercial use, things of that nature?

Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
In this encore episode of Morning Wire, we speak to entrepreneur and best-selling author Steve Hilton, who has just thrown his hat into the ring for California governor. At the time of this interview, he had not yet announced his candidacy. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Saturday, April 26th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, I wanna unpack some of the things that you touched on, but first, just wondering, you said 50% of Californians said they're open to voting for a Republican. How much of a swing is that from baseline? I mean, has a poll like this been done in the past?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, the most recent stress test of this, it's not exactly apples to apples, but Rick Caruso ran for mayor as a conservative Democrat, but he failed to win in Los Angeles. So do you think that the ticket to win is to run as a Democrat and just be to the right of the more progressive candidate? Or do you think you can come out and actually win under the GOP banner?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Joining us now to discuss the pent-up frustrations fueling the California political shift is entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Steve Hilton. Steve, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, something you touched on earlier was that the fires opened the eyes of a lot of people. Just this week, there was a release that said four million Californians live in fire danger zones. Just wondering, because you might have more information on this than me, is that a policy failure or is that just the reality of the climate in California and where some of these homes are built?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
So, Steve, a variety of polls right now are showing that voters are not happy with Democrats, including in deep blue California. Do you think there is a chance a conservative candidate could actually win in 2026 for the governor's race?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, California also announced a nearly $1 billion deficit last week. It's pretty stunning considering that we think of California as an extremely wealthy state with a huge tax base. They have Silicon Valley, for example. So where is all that money going?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, all of the failures that you mentioned are actually fueling a lot of people to leave the state. Just for example, I left about five years ago and pretty much every conservative I know was either planning to leave or has left just in the past few years. So it's striking that 48 to 50 percent of Californians say they'd be open to voting for the GOP.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
I suppose this would be hard to measure, but is this newly minted conservative voters because the rest of us have left? Or what do we know about the demographics there?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 4.26.25
Now, I want to talk to you about your book. It's hard to distill it down, but what would you say are the top two, three, five things that California could do to change their trajectory?
Morning Wire

The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
In this episode, we sit down with Batya Angar Sargon to discuss the role the legacy media played in perpetrating the cover-up and what fueled that complicity. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, May 24th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
Yeah, I wanted to ask you specifically about that element. CNN's Jake Tapper, he's co-written this bombshell book, Original Sin. It's revealing a lot of this information that at least the top levels, we in conservative media were reporting all along. But we have, to be fair, learned some new things from this book.
Morning Wire
The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
Tapper said, for example, that Democrats were strangely willing to talk to him right after the election when it didn't matter anymore. He's getting a lot of plaudits for his bombshell book. Do you think he deserves that? Is this an act of courageous journalism? What are we witnessing here?
Morning Wire

Joining us to discuss the legacy media's role in the Biden mental decline cover-up is Batia Ungar Sargon, who once guest hosted for us. Hey, Batia. Thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
So look, we just witnessed something pretty remarkable, one of the biggest scandals in American history, the biggest presidential scandal I think we've ever seen. We wanted to talk to you about the media's role in all of this, how much they played a part in keeping information that was so key for the American people to know.
Morning Wire
The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
As you said, we haven't seen a mea culpa admission to the actual original sin of the media at this point. Do you see any hope for them turning around their credibility in the near future with the American people? Or do you think the media is really dead and buried at this point?
Morning Wire
The Media’s Betrayal of the American Public
away from the American people, is there any way that the legacy media can claim that they simply didn't know that they were doing their jobs and that this was all really the Biden administration's fault? Or is this the media's fault as well?

Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Now, the legacy media, though, has been kind of pounding this message that this is because the tariffs are bad and that it's only going to get worse. That's obviously the opposite of what we're hearing from Trump and his treasury secretary. What are your thoughts on Trump's use of tariffs and how do you expect them to impact, one, the stock market and two, consumers?

Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Now, how likely is it that Trump could pass something like no federal income tax under $150,000? Is that a pipe dream or is that something he could actually get votes for?
Morning Wire
Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Fears of Trump's trade wars and tariffs have sparked stock market volatility and raised concerns over the future of the U.S. economy. We speak to a Wall Street veteran about why he says Americans should not be worried about the economy. He believes Trump's pro-growth policies, like tax cuts and deregulation, could ultimately benefit the economy and the American taxpayer.

Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Now, will there be a painful short term for citizens and consumers while the markets are getting used to what this new terrain looks like and while we're still paying down this massive debt? In other words, are we in for a rocky road?

Truth & Toxins: Dr. Soon-Shiong’s Vision for the LA Times and America’s Health | 12.21.24
Now, this might be getting kind of granular, but I wonder, and I am sure some of our listeners wonder as well, is PFAS something you can have tested to find out what your levels are, or is it just a big unknown?
Morning Wire
Truth & Toxins: Dr. Soon-Shiong’s Vision for the LA Times and America’s Health | 12.21.24
Now, you mentioned the broken health care system. Obviously, that's been in the news just this past week because of Luigi Mangione.

Truth & Toxins: Dr. Soon-Shiong’s Vision for the LA Times and America’s Health | 12.21.24
Now, you've presided over some very divided political times, but recently you've made some headlines for shaking up the editorial board and also for declining to endorse a political candidate. That suggested to some people that you might be changing the direction of the paper or at least doing a bit of a rebrand. Is that accurate?

It's not just about Claudine Gay, obviously. It's about a larger systemic problem. You use the phrase, the death of academic integrity writ large. Can you expand on that?
Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Now, in your new book, The Gay Affair, you recount your own experience as a victim of alleged plagiarism by Claudine Gay, Harvard's first black president. First, how did this experience shape your perspective on the systemic failures you critique in the book?

The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Beyond the specifics of the case that involves you and some of these other high-profile plagiarism cases, you also highlight broader implications for academia worldwide. What do you see as the most urgent steps institutions must take to safeguard academic integrity?

A new bill in New York would prevent police from conducting routine stops and searches for low-level violations.

Well, this seems like it should be a day one priority for President Trump. Cabot, thanks for reporting. Any time.

Ventura is believed to be connected to a smuggling operation that left more than 50 migrants dead in Mexico three years ago. It was horrific.

An unsealed indictment from the DOJ states that Ventura and several other Guatemalan men who were arrested in their home country was charged with, quote, conspiracy to bring undocumented aliens to the United States, placing life in jeopardy, causing serious bodily injuries, and resulting in death. So this man is a Guatemalan national. What is his connection to Colony Rich?
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
So we reported in September of last year that Colony Ridge is a magnet for illegal aliens. And it's this massive development just outside of Houston. And if it's allowed to continue, the development projects it'll ultimately have a population of 250,000 people. That would be a population higher than Boise, Idaho or Scottsdale, Arizona for reference.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
And Ventura was arrested by those federal agents in Colony Ridge at his residence. The smugglers owned multiple properties at the development and bought one as recently as September of this year. And data from the county clerk indicates that he first bought property at Colony Ridge in 2019 and had a total of four properties at the development.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
Yeah, that's right. Over the summer, there were two illegal aliens who were wanted by the international police for murder, and they were caught in the nearby area. And both of those people lived in Colony Ridge. One of those two illegal aliens, a Mexican national named Juan Jose Valero Cruz, had already been deported from the United States twice.
Morning Wire
