--:-- Georgia Howe: The vice president visits Greenland, Elise Stefanik returns to House leadership, and a warning to foreign students from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
--:-- John Bickley: I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Vice President J.D. Vance and other U.S. officials are set to arrive in Greenland today for a one-day visit.
--:-- John Bickley: Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has details on the trip.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: Vance will touch down at a U.S. military installation in the northwest of Greenland. The delegation includes Vance's wife, Usha, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
--:-- Georgia Howe: They'll meet with U.S. troops stationed at the base, which operates under an agreement with Denmark.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: The trip's plans shifted after Greenland officials and residents expressed reluctance to host the American visitors.
--:-- John Bickley: Originally, Usha Vance was scheduled to attend a dog sled race and visit a travel agency in the capital, but those plans were canceled following local objections.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: President Trump has emphasized Greenland's strategic importance to U.S. security, citing its vast size and resources, though a recent poll shows that most of the island's 56,000 residents oppose joining the United States.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The visit comes amid heightened U.S. interest in the Arctic region, with Vance's office stressing the need for improved security infrastructure in Greenland.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: Here's Vice President J.D. Vance speaking about the trip on Tuesday.
--:-- J.D. Vance: A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course to threaten the people of Greenland.
--:-- John Bickley: Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it's important to protecting the security of the entire world.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long. That's been bad for Greenland. It's also been bad for the security of the entire world.
--:-- Georgia Howe: We think we can take things in a different direction.
--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: The Trump administration has withdrawn the nomination of Elise Stefanik as U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
--:-- John Bickley: Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce tells us why.
--:-- Tim Pierce: The White House is urging New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to stay in the House to preserve Republicans' slim majority and help President Trump's America First agenda.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Stefanik cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back in January, but never reached a full Senate vote.
--:-- Tim Pierce: Trump praised Stefanik as absolutely fantastic on True Social, citing her leadership value over risking her seat in a special election.
--:-- John Bickley: Speaker Mike Johnson praised Stefanik as a devoted patriot and offered her a leadership position in the House.
--:-- Tim Pierce: A replacement pick for UN ambassador has not yet been named.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Lawmakers grilled the acting chief of the FAA Thursday over the January 29th midair collision near Reagan National Airport.
--:-- John Bickley: Daily Wire senior editor Ash Short has the story.
--:-- Ash Short: In this testimony, the FAA's acting chief, Chris Rochelow, insisted that flying remains safe despite the recent DCA crash with a helicopter that killed 67 people.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The FAA has since banned most helicopter traffic near the airport and will mandate a tracking feature, ADS-B Out, to boost safety, even as the Army resists the move due to surveillance fears.
--:-- Ash Short: Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington asked a question on most Americans' minds during the hearing.
--:-- Maria Cantwell: Why did the F not act on 15 reports of dangerous proximity How were these helicopter routes allowed to remain when alarm bells were literally going off in the towers
--:-- John Bickley: This lack of oversight must change.
--:-- Ash Short: For a year, plus $40 off with code WIRE. Good Ranchers, American Meat delivered.
--:-- Georgia Howe: A 30-year-old Turkish student studying at Tufts University in Massachusetts was detained by ICE Tuesday and moved to a detention center in Louisiana.
--:-- John Bickley: Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed her case on Thursday, warning that the Trump administration won't tolerate foreign students on visas who join violent demonstrations and disrupt college campuses.
--:-- Marco Rubio: We revoked her visa. It's an F-1 visa, I believe. We revoked it, and here's why. And I'll say it again. I said it everywhere. Let me be abundantly clear, okay?
--:-- Georgia Howe: If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you're coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we're not going to give you a visa.
--:-- Marco Rubio: If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa participate in that sort of activity, we're going to take away your visa. And once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States. And we have a right, like every country in the world has a right to remove you from our country. So it's just that simple.
--:-- Georgia Howe: We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses. And if we've given you a visa and then you decide to do that, we're going to take it away.
--:-- John Bickley: A Las Vegas man was arrested Wednesday for a Molotov cocktail attack against Tesla vehicles.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Paul Kim faces state and federal charges for damaging five Tesla vehicles on March 18th.
--:-- John Bickley: The 36 arrest follows a high vandalism spree targeting Tesla sites nationwide.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Police use surveillance video bullet fragments and cell phone records to tie Kim to the 3 a.m. arson attack.
--:-- John Bickley: The FBI is labeling such acts domestic terrorism and has launched a task force investigating similar incidents.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Mississippi has just eliminated its state income tax.
--:-- John Bickley: The governor signed it into law on Thursday.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Mississippi now joins Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming as an income tax-free state.
--:-- John Bickley: Governor Tate Reeves promoted the bill as a game changer which will attract businesses to the state.
--:-- Tate Reeves: Our people should be rewarded for hard work, not punished. and that Mississippi has the potential to be a magnet for opportunity, a magnet for investment, and a magnet for talent and for families looking to build a better life.
