--:-- Host (John Bickley): Senate Republicans held a hearing to investigate who was in charge during Joe Biden's presidency. We speak to one of the senators leading the inquiry.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): I think this scandal is bigger than Watergate.
--:-- Host (John Bickley): And Don Jr. and Eric Trump open up to Morning Wire 10 years after that fateful escalator ride.

--:-- Host (John Bickley): As the U.S. weighs intervention in Iran, President Trump is warning the Ayatollah that his patience is wearing thin.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the latest on this escalating conflict.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Hey, Cabot, so a lot happening, very fluid situation. What's the latest in the Middle East?
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Well, the fighting is showing no sign of slowing down as Israel continues to target Iran's nuclear and military facilities. and Iran targets whatever they can hit, including civilian populations.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: On Tuesday, Israel says it killed Ali Shadmani. That's Iran's senior military commander. He had only been in the position for three days after replacing his predecessor. He was also killed in a separate strike Friday.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: The Israelis also launched a successful strike on the Natanz enrichment facility, a crucial part of Iran's nuclear program. We're still waiting for a full assessment of the damage there, but one Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal the facility may have imploded underground.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: For their part, Iran says they struck an Israeli military intelligence center in Tel Aviv, though Israel says most of the strikes have again targeted civilian areas.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Elsewhere, Iranian missiles hit the Weisman Institute of Science. Israeli officials say years worth of medical research and scientific data was destroyed in the strike.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: But the big question right now around the world is whether the U.S. will join Israel's efforts to dismantle Iran's nuclear program.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Right, and what are we hearing now on that front?
--:-- Cabot Phillips: So by all accounts, Donald Trump is still weighing his options and seriously considering joining the war.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: The president convened his national security team for a Situation Room meeting Tuesday afternoon.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Just before that meeting took place, Trump posted on Truth Social that, quote, we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment and plenty of it, but it doesn't compare to American-made, conceived, and manufactured stuff.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Now, that use of the word we really turned heads in Washington.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: And while the White House says he was referring to American weapons and not Americans directly, it's quite the departure from a few days ago when he said America was playing no role in this conflict.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: As a sign of that potential willingness to intervene, the U.S. has begun expanding its military presence in the region.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: In the last 48 hours alone, the Pentagon deployed a third naval destroyer to the eastern Mediterranean, along with a second U.S. carrier strike group.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: In addition a number of large refueling planes are also reportedly heading to the region
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Now the White House maintains that these are purely defensive moves but they could also be part of a not threat aimed at Iran
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Right And speaking of threats the president took aim at the Ayatollah directly yesterday
--:-- Cabot Phillips: What did we hear from him?
--:-- Cabot Phillips: We heard a lot, John. In a flurry of posts Tuesday, the president wrote that, quote, we know exactly where the so-called supreme leader is hiding.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: He is an easy target, but is safe there. We are not going to take him out, in parentheses, kill, at least not for now.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: But we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: So a clear threat there.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: And for his part, VP Vance said Tuesday that, quote, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: But he said that Trump has, quote, earned some trust on this issue and may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): All right, so some clear signals, including from Vance, that things might be escalating even further.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: What are we hearing now on the peace talks?
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Well, Iran has reportedly continued reaching out to Middle Eastern intermediaries, saying that they're willing to resume talks on a ceasefire or nuclear deal.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: And there were initial reports that President Trump was open to sitting down for those conversations.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: But on Tuesday, he made his position clear, writing on social media, quote, I have not reached out to Iran for peace talks in any way, shape or form.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: This is just more highly fabricated fake news. If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table, would have saved a lot of lives.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: President Trump also took aim at the isolationist wing of the Republican Party, who have been lobbying him hard to stay out of this conflict.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Those voices include Tucker Carlson and reps Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Quote, America first means many great things, he said, including the fact that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Something he's been very clear about and very consistent about for a decade now.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Kevin, thanks so much for reporting.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: Absolutely.
--:-- Host (John Bickley): The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing today as part of its investigation into what was really going on behind the scenes during Joe Biden's presidency, who was really running the country amid the president's cognitive decline, and were media outlets colluding to cover it up.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri is helping lead that hearing. He joins us now.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Thank you so much for coming on.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Sure, good to be with you.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: So you and Senator Cornyn will be holding judiciary hearings today and looking into the Biden presidency.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Can you preview today's hearing?
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Yeah, I think it's important for the country to understand what was actually going on.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Everybody could see the clear decline of Joe Biden. The media tried to dismiss it as cheap fakes.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: I mean, there was sort of one excuse after another. Democrats were saying he's sharper than he's ever been.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: You had, you know, the left wing media parroting those talking points to this version of Biden.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: It just is really dangerous kind of road to go down to have the one person that's elected by the entire country be mentally incompetent.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: It begs the question, who was running the country?
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And so our hearing was going to try to tease this out a little bit of, you know, who knew what, when, what should have been seen and then what should have been done about it.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And it's not just looking backwards. It really is an effort to look forward.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: I mean I chair the Senate the judiciary subcommittee on the constitution
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Having a functioning president is actually kind of an important thing in our constitutional order
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And I for me personally I mean I think this scandal is bigger than Watergate but everybody is eager to sweep it under the rug
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And I just don't think the American people should accept that
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Yeah we described it on this show as potentially the biggest presidential scandal in American history.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: What specific evidence do you have that President Biden was not the one making decisions during his time in office?
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Well, I think, you know, sort of they tell everybody, don't believe your lying eyes.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Everyone could see it. There's whistleblowers would come forward that he would get confused and get lost in the bathroom.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Then, of course, you have a very important point that we're going to touch on, the use of the auto pen.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: It used to be, right, kings would have fixed their seal on a document, and that's how you knew it was official.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: In this country, we believe that the people are the sovereign, and when we vote for elected officials, their actions like voting matter, and when a president signs a letter or issues a pardon, they're speaking on behalf of the American people.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: So we're going to have a few witnesses kind of talk about that at the hearing today.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: What does that mean? What are the consequences of that? And how we should view this kind of authority moving forward with somebody who wasn't able to exercise it competently.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And I think it's bolstered by a few other facts.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: I mean, Special Prosecutor Robert Herc specifically did not bring charges on the documents case because he didn't think Biden could stand trial.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: He wasn't competent to stand trial. I mean, that's kind of a big thing that people were, again, sort of eager to brush away.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And you got to remember, too, the Democrats were more than willing to lie to the American people and say not just that he was competent and could remain president, but that he should get four more years.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: It really wasn't until that debate when it was on full display that they could not deny it themselves, even though they tried to keep the truth hidden.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Now, we learned in the book Original Sin that there was a group of unelected advisors who were shielding Biden from the press and even his own cabinet secretaries.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Likely they were making the decisions for him. That's the implications.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Who do you believe was really in charge? And should there actually be consequences for those involved in this?
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Well, I mean, Jill Biden obviously played a significant role.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: But I think this issue is particularly important for us as a constitutional republic.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: There's only one person in the Article 2 branch that sort of runs the show and speaks for the American people.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: It's the president of the United States.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: And so when you have a situation like this that was very obvious and very hidden and covered up, again, not just by the people around them, but their media allies because they were so focused on making sure President Trump never got back into office that they were willing to go along with this lie.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: That's why we're having the hearing today.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Well, Senator, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us.
--:-- Senator Eric Schmidt: Anytime.
--:-- Host (John Bickley): It was 10 years ago this week when Donald Trump changed American politics forever by announcing a run for the White House.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Don Jr. and Eric Trump celebrated that anniversary in an event in Manhattan.
--:-- Host (John Bickley): Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan traveled to New York to speak to the Trump sons, and she joins us now.
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: Hey, Georgia. Yes.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): So, Mary Margaret, you sat down with Eric and Don Jr. What did they have to tell you?
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: Hey, Georgia. Yes. So Eric and Don Jr. held an event that included a business announcement on Monday at Trump Tower.
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: We'll get to that shortly. But first, we had to take a step back and reflect.
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: It's been exactly 10 years since their father descended the escalator at Trump Tower to announce he was running for president.
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: Don Jr. shared his thoughts on that pivotal moment.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: We got on the elevator one floor up. It was my whole family. That was before the fateful sort of escalator ride down.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: And my father looked at me right in the eyes. He goes, and now we find out who our real friends are.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: And it was really telling because it was from two perspectives, right? One, the guy understands how the real world works.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: Unlike all these politicians who do what they're told and they're sponsored by their chosen benefactors to do whatever their good funding does for them
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: But he knew how difficult it was going to be He knew his friends would turn on him
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: But more importantly he knew that was going to happen and he did it anyway
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: And I think that perhaps the more important aspect of that, which is he understood this was not going to be easy.
--:-- Eric Trump: He's done amazing things for this nation. And as a son, I'm truly proud of his fight, of his tenacity, of everything that he's given up for this country.
--:-- Eric Trump: I mean, they tried to kill him multiple times, all right? I mean, he almost died on the stage in Butler, and he still stood up and said, fight, fight, fight.
--:-- Eric Trump: And I love the man to death. He's my best friend. We're inseparable.
--:-- Eric Trump: And really proud of everything he's accomplished. You can give that to 10,000 other billionaires. No one. No one would have been left standing after this.
--:-- Eric Trump: And he's tough as hell. And hopefully he's a great example to so many that will follow, because that's exactly what we need in America.
--:-- Host (Georgia Howe): Now pivoting to current events, did they weigh in at all on the Middle East situation?
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: Yes, definitely had to ask them about the biggest news of the day.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: I'd love not to get involved in wars. That's not my thing.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: I think we, you know, we can't plan on that. I think we've got to protect civilians, you know, from some of these things.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: But, yeah, there are definitely a lot of people calling around what's going on.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: I mean, there's definitely been a culture shift, I think, in the last few years and especially probably over the last few months of what would have been traditional conservative dogma.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: But I think, generally speaking, the American public is very clear about, you know, not wanting to be in another never ending boots on the ground war.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: I mean, I think, you know, that that is something that I think everyone probably agrees on.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: And so, yeah, it is an interesting time. There's a lot going on.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: But I understand, you know, my father gets these things, has an instinct for this better than probably anyone.
--:-- Don Jr. Trump: He understands, you know, what his people want and he wants to keep us out of wars.
--:-- Mary Margaret Olihan: Now pivoting to current events, did they weigh in at all on the Middle East situation?
