Chapter 1: What changes did President Trump make to his national security team?

4.116 - 9.242 Georgia Howe

President Trump shakes up his national security team as Russia threatens to make Ukraine disappear.

9.602 - 16.63 John Bickley

I think the media wants to frame this as a firing. Donald Trump has fired a lot of people. He doesn't give them Senate-confirmed appointments afterward.

17.071 - 22.217 Georgia Howe

34.069 - 38.753 Mike Johnson

I think that the president's agenda is the one the American people wants to see accomplished.

39.473 - 44.238 Georgia Howe

And a new study suggests the abortion pill may be far more dangerous than the FDA has admitted.

44.498 - 50.583 Mary Margaret Olihan

This is much different than the lie that women have been told that these drugs are safer than Tylenol.

50.843 - 54.807 Executive Editor

382.506 - 389.47 Executive Editor

In order to implement his America First agenda, President Trump will be relying heavily on new Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

389.861 - 402.175 Georgia Howe

Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan sat down with Dune this week to discuss the president's first 100 days and how the Senate is backing up Trump's agenda. She joins us now. Hey, Mary Margaret. So tell us about this interview.

402.506 - 419.21 Mary Margaret Olihan

Good morning, John. Yes, we are here at the United States Capitol where we just sat down with Senate Majority Leader John Thune for a wide-ranging interview on the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second presidency. We talked about a variety of issues, including how the Senate Majority Leader wants to help Trump implement his agenda. Take a look at this.

419.39 - 439.195 Mike Johnson

I think getting his team in place, helping move quickly. We confirmed his cabinet at the fastest rate in 20 years. We kept the Senate in session for 10 consecutive weeks for the first time in 15 years. And we hit 200 votes in the Senate for the first time at this point going back to the Reagan administration. But then we've got to start delivering on the legislative agenda.

439.335 - 457.183 Mike Johnson

And that's where you get into energy independence. It's where you get into rebuilding the military, securing the border, providing tax relief for the American people, and reducing spending and getting our country on a more sustainable fiscal path. Those are the things that the president campaigned on and we need to deliver on for the American people.

Chapter 3: What dangers are associated with the abortion pill according to recent studies?

487.799 - 508.115 Mike Johnson

And so when Trump came in, he immediately took leadership on that issue. And you've seen a dramatic, and I say dramatic, a hugely consequential drop in the number of people coming across the border illegally. I think it's been an incredibly successful, eventful, and consequential first 100 days. And I'm looking forward to what's ahead.

0

508.155 - 528.449 Mike Johnson

I think that the president's agenda is the one the American people wants to see accomplished. They want us to be good partners with him. And I think in the end, if we can succeed on the things the president campaigned on, the American people voted for, they're going to want to continue to see Republicans in majorities in the House and Senate and a Republican in the White House.

0

528.769 - 535.051 Mary Margaret Olihan

We also touched on this point. He shared a little bit with us about what he's looking to do in the next 100 days and how he plans to help the president.

0

535.431 - 554.581 Mike Johnson

So I think the president's agenda on national security is important. There wasn't a single year in the Biden administration where their commitment to the military kept up even with the rate of inflation. So we've fallen behind in a lot of areas. And President Trump recognizes that, recognizes that we live in a dangerous world and we've got to be able to defend America and American interests.

0

555.122 - 578.164 Mike Johnson

And so that's a priority. And the border security, I would argue, is right up there with that because that's also, in my view, a national security issue. And then I think on the economy, it's getting rid of burdensome Biden regulations, extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts, and then creating an energy policy that makes America energy dominant.

578.224 - 587.092 Mike Johnson

I think those are all issues that feed into a strong economy that creates better paying jobs and makes the lives of Americans more prosperous.

587.372 - 593.474 Georgia Howe

Well, a lot of goals there, but also a very narrow majority to navigate for the leader. Mary Margaret, thanks so much for joining us.

593.954 - 594.634 Mary Margaret Olihan

Thanks for having me.

595.134 - 608.318 Georgia Howe

Look for Mary Margaret's entire interview with the Senate majority leader this weekend on Morning Wire. The abortion pill is much more dangerous than the FDA claimed, with more than one in 10 women suffering serious complications.
