President Donald Trump highlights the administration’s affordability efforts, a key Senate race gains a new wrinkle in Texas, and mainstream science erupts at a new government memo on vaccines. It’s Wednesday, December 10, 2025, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below, and the video version can be seen on The Daily Wire: Trump Kicks Off Economy Tour Topline: President Trump is hitting the road to tout his economic progress as Americans remain pessimistic about affordability and the cost of living. Since retaking office, many of the president’s most high-profile road trips have been abroad to meet with foreign leaders and lock down peace deals and trade agreements. But with midterms fast approaching and affordability remaining the top issue for voters, he’s launching a nationwide tour to tout his economic record and address voter concerns on affordability. For years now, Republicans have dominated on the topic, with poll after poll showing voters prefer their handling of the economy over Democrats. But goodwill from Trump’s first term has not carried over, as Republicans now trail Democrats on the economy. Last month’s electoral results in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York were seemingly a wake-up call for the White House. It’s not just that Democrats won handily, but it’s the fact that they won by attacking President Trump’s economy and focusing on affordability. Now the president has held a series of meetings with his top advisers to devise a new messaging strategy to convince voters that he’s taking the right course ahead of the midterms. Trump appeared in Pennsylvania for the first of what the White House says will be a string of events focused primarily on affordability. Trump is in a tough political spot. On the one hand, he takes great pride in his economic prowess and his role as a sort of businessman-in-chief. But if he continues insisting that things are going great, he risks coming off as out of touch and angering folks. A Fox News poll this month found that 76% of voters view the economy negatively, while POLITICO found that even 37% of Trump voters say the cost of living is the worst they’ve ever seen. For his part, the president reportedly feels the issue is perception, and that Republicans must step up their efforts to highlight the progress they’re making. “We gave you an extension of the biggest tax cuts and the biggest tax cuts ever, even bigger than the first term, and that’s one of the reasons that your 401(k)s are through the roof. It’s one of the reasons that the stock market is at the highest point,” said Trump Tuesday evening. “Rent prices are down, dairy prices are coming down very strongly. The cost of Thanksgiving turkeys was down by 33% compared to the Biden era. That’s a good start. We’re bringing it down and we’re coming down more. We’re coming down a lot more.” President Trump also touted the progress made so far in lowering the cost of gas and eggs, which reached historic highs in recent years.  “We’re down lower than we’ve been in seven years. And gasoline prices in oil prices, not just the three states that I talk about with 1.99 a gallon,” said Trump. “  What about eggs? … The price of eggs is down now 80% since March. Think of that.” Shootout For Texas Senate Seat Topline: A Texas Senate race is already heating up as candidates for both parties jockey for the chance to win the key seat, and some notable names are shaking things up. A new Democrat challenger: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is jumping into the race. Crockett is a sound-bite factory, so prepare to see some major developments out of the U.S. Senate race in Texas. Former Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) dropped out of the race earlier on Monday while signaling that Crockett was going to get in. Meanwhile, state Rep. James Talarico is maintaining that he is going to stay in the contest on the Democratic side. Texas is a red state, but with the 2026 election, Democrats are feeling a bit cocky about their shot at winning that seat and many others, if possible. Crockett’s impact: The NRCC, or the Republican arm focused on House elections, is already touting that Crockett could potentially be the Democratic nominee. What that means for down-ballot races is that moderate Democrats will face a choice: whether to embrace Crockett and risk being painted as radicals by Republicans, or to push away from Crockett and risk pushback from Democrats. Either way, Republicans will likely try to paint Crockett as the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party in Texas. GOP’s packed primary: On the Republican side, it’s a complicated primary. Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is running, as well as state Attorney General Ken Paxton. Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) is also in the race. Cornyn is backed by the NRC, the official party arm that defends incumbent GOP senators. Paxton, Hunt, and Cornyn are all vying for Trump’s endorsement. But the president has not yet picked a favorite. Hunt and Paxton have both portrayed themselves as the better option to stand with Trump and carry out the president’s agenda. But there is a highly volatile dynamic in the race, and polling shows the contest is incredibly close. FDA Revamps Vaccine Standards Topline: The FDA is implementing tougher standards for vaccines, a move riling up the medical establishment. Reports circulated this week about an internal memo from Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s vaccine division, proposing an overhaul of how vaccines are evaluated and approved, initiating tougher standards. The new process would include full randomized clinical trials even for updated or routine vaccines, such as the flu shot. The trials would allow evaluation of real-world protection, not just antibody levels, as well as side-effect rates and additional information for risk-benefit analysis. Currently, officials rely primarily on immune-response data, such as antibody levels from small groups of people. Notably, this memo cited at least 10 children who died “after and because of” receiving COVID vaccines. That is apparently driving this new direction for tougher vaccine approvals.  How it’s playing: Twelve former FDA officials denounced the memo in an editorial, claiming that it casts doubt on vaccine safety. They claim these new standards reject “long-standing science” and say it will slow innovation. Former FDA head Dr. Scott Gottlieb appeared on CBS News and said Prasad’s new procedures could hamper vaccine effectiveness. Trump admin response: The Department of Health and Human Services stands by Dr. Prasad and these new standards. An HHS spokesperson took a swipe at the “resistance” editorial, saying, “The fact these criticisms are coming from former FDA officials who opposed raising the bar for vaccine science confirms we are on the right track.” HHS press secretary Emily Hilliard told Morning Wire that the American people “deserve evidence-based science,” and said Dr. Prasad’s email “lays out a philosophical framework that points us toward that higher standard.” Hilliard also said HHS will “soon release documents laying out that framework,” as well as data confirming how the COVID vaccine resulted in children’s deaths that previous leadership failed to investigate properly.

'instead of an adversary in his own backyard'

When 9-year-old Oscar Wilkins heard he’d been given the role of ‘Elvis the Elf’ in the nativity play at his primary school last week, the alliteration left him confused over what to tell his parents. Coming home, Oscar’s sister said neither he nor the school had been able to communicate the ‘elf element’ to his […] The post Boy Sent to Christmas Nativity Show as Elvis Instead of Elf After Family Mix-up appeared first on Good News Network.

Author of Be Ready for Anything and Build a Better Pantry on a Budget online course We all have them. Those people we care about who think we’re nuttier than a bag of pecans for our prepping endeavors. Although they’re doubting Thomases, we still love them and want them to be safe in an emergency. I’ve put together a list of gifts with a survival twist that you can get for the folks you love. One day, they may look at that gift, think of you, and be extremely grateful. (Here’s an article about some gentle persuasion to get them on board.) Below, you’ll find some kits that you can put together for a loved one, as well as some smaller, stocking-stuffer-type presents. If the gift recipients in your life are already preppers, here’s a list of gift ideas for them. Survival Kits An Emergency Food Kit In the event of a power outage, people who are unprepared can quickly run out of things to eat or a way to cook them. Put together a kit that provides food sealed up for the long term, an emergency cooking method, and fuel for the cooking method. I recommend: A grab-and-go bucket of food A grab-and-go bucket of food (This can be used indoors if you exercise caution) Butane fuel canisters A Vehicle Emergency Kit This kit won’t be as thorough as the prepper version, but if you put it in a handy bucket, they’ll probably stash it in their vehicle and forget it, and it will be there when they need it. Compact Thermal Sleeping Bag Extra socks Gloves and a hat Granola bars (Clif bars have a lot of caloric bang for the buck) Travel water filter (We use the Sawyer Mini) but for a newbie you might consider a filter bottle like this Waterproof matches Emergency signal (I like these 12-hour ultra-bright glow sticks) Emergency Survival Manual (This one belongs in every bug-out bag, purse, car, and home.) A Home Security Kit Door Jammer: This gadget will add some extra security to your doors. You can use this on an inside solid core door to fortify a bedroom or safe room, and you can take it with you for hotel rooms, too. A wedge is a less expensive option. Window Alarms: Secure the windows with these wireless magnetic sensors. Security Camera: These cameras connect to wifi, so they’re perfect for having eyes on your driveway or gate. However, keep in mind that even a fake camera with a blinking light can serve as a deterrent. Pepper Gel: This stuff has an 18-foot range, and unlike an aerosol pepper spray, it won’t be as likely to affect everyone in the room. Warning: If you or a family member suffers from asthma, pepper products and Mace can be debilitating to you as well as the intruder. Solar Motion Lights: These guys are wireless, easy to install, and powered by the sun. Power Outage Kit You may need to vary this based on the climate of the recipient. Mr. Buddy Heater: This is one of the few off-grid heaters that can safely be used indoors. Be sure to add propane to the gift, so they have fuel to run it. Carbon Monoxide Detector: Make sure the one you get has battery back-up. These are especially important during a power outage when the person might be using off-grid heating methods. Candles: Add some long-burning candles. Rechargeable Flashlights: This one stays plugged in until you need it. Battery-Operated Fans: These will make life much more pleasant if the power outage takes place in hot weather. Stocking Stuffers The SAS Survival Manual: This handy little classic has the necessary information you need to survive any situation in any climate. My girls both carry one, as do I. It’s tiny and fits easily in a purse. Self-Defense Key Chains: This little gadget goes on a key chain. Loop your fingers through the eye holes and the sharp “ears” can be used for self-defense. Be careful, when purchasing these, not to get something that is a concealed blade. Those are illegal in many states and can get a person into big trouble. Mini Water Filter: It even comes in multiple colors. Super-bright Mini Flashlight: This one is a long-lasting LED light, and it’s tiny enough to go in a purse or glove box easily. Pepper Gel: This stuff has an 18-foot range, and unlike an aerosol pepper spray, won’t be as likely to affect everyone in the room. Warning: If you are a family member suffers from asthma, pepper products and Mace can be debilitating to you as well as the intruder. (This is also included in one of the kits above.) What If They Want to Prep But They’re Not Sure How to Get Started? Sometimes it isn’t that they don’t want to prep – they just don’t know how to get started. Beginners always have a lot of questions about prepping. If you want to point them in the right direction, I have a few suggestions. Books Below, you’ll find some of my favorite books for people who are new to preparedness. (Yes, I’m shamelessly self-promoting my own books too.)

In one sense, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are the foundation of the country’s government. The Declaration laid out the principles we aspire toward. The Constitution established the three branches of government. It contains many brilliant mechanisms to check the government’s power. The Bill of Rights offers another layer of protection. But mere words—even some of the most brilliant and influential words ever written—didn’t create America’s greatness. Americans did. Imagine you could magically impose America’s system of government in Somalia, Afghanistan, or the Gaza Strip. Same Declaration of Independence. Same Constitution. Same Bill of Rights. Would it turn those Third World nations into First World successes? Of course not. Just look at the 260,000 people of Somali descent living in America. More than 100,000 of them live in Minnesota. In recent weeks, there have been numerous stories about how Somalis in Minnesota stole billions of dollars from the government. That led to millions of dollars going to Al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group. In one scheme, Asha Farhan Hassan created Smart Therapy, which supposedly offered services for children with autism. She and her partners recruited Somali parents and worked to get their children fake autism diagnoses. They used that to secure Medicaid funding. Hassan then cut the parents in on the scheme. “Several larger families left Smart Therapy after being offered larger kickbacks by other autism centers,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota wrote in a release. Importing Somalis to America didn’t give them American values. They brought their preexisting values to America and ripped off taxpayers for billions. They brought clan rivalries from Somalia along with them as well. Afghanistan provides another example of this. After 9/11, the United States took over the country. We spent more than $130 billion there. That’s more than America spent rebuilding Western Europe with the Marshall Plan, according to the Washington Post. The United States even held elections in Afghanistan. But as soon as former President Joe Biden decided to surrender, the country fell to the Taliban. Despite all the money and lives lost, we couldn’t export democracy to a society with a vastly different history and heritage. These differences were punctuated by an Afghan national allegedly murdering a National Guardsman in Washington, D.C., recently. Even democracy isn’t a cure-all. In 2006, Gaza Strip residents elected Hamas to run the region. Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre initially boosted Hamas’ favorability ratings among Palestinians. What the Founding Fathers understood—but many modern Americans don’t—is that our society’s foundation isn’t the government. It’s the shared values, culture, and history that bind individuals into citizens of a nation. Those are the pillars that uphold the government. This is why importing millions of people who have fundamentally different worldviews is a terrible idea—and not just in America. Look at England. Grooming gangs raped thousands of girls over decades. Most officials ignored the problem because the rapists were largely from Pakistan. They feared being accused of racism. Even immigrants who support Western civilization and have Judeo-Christian values need time to assimilate. People aren’t interchangeable units of economic activity. They have religious values, customs, and worldviews. Our country has an interest in making sure new arrivals learn ours. Learning English should be non-negotiable. Those living in the same country need to be able to communicate with each other. This makes it easier to build trust and cohesion. As of June 2025, America had more than 50 million immigrants. More than 15% of the country’s population was born elsewhere. That includes a staggering 19% of the workforce. It’s too much. At this point, the melting pot is boiling over.
