Spoiler alert: Leftists suck at boycotts. That's true in and of itself, and especially true when juxtaposed against their conservative counterparts. And there's actually a pretty simple explanation for this: Leftism inherently lacks conviction, because it will constantly change with the times. Conservatism is rooted in tradition, something that doesn't sway...

A new report reveals that the Trump administration and the Israeli government are demanding that Iran relinquish all enriched uranium before any nuclear agreement is signed. On April 12, President Donald Trump sent a letter to the Iranian government warning that it had 60 days to comply with his demands or military action might be taken. According to Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a former adviser to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, Trump wanted the following changes: Iran’s nuclear program stopped; uranium enrichment halted; no more arms shipments to the Houthis in Yemen; no more financial support for Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the disbanding of military groups aligned with the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq. After Iran refused to comply with Trump’s demands, Israel launched its comprehensive assault on Iran on June 13, the 61st day. Israel Hayom reports, Trump and the Israelis are demanding Iran give up all enriched uranium it still possesses: “The US intends to present Iran with three baseline demands for reentering negotiations: a total ban on uranium enrichment on Iranian soil, the removal of all highly enriched uranium Iran has stockpiled, and limitations on future missile production.” Enriched uranium can be used to make nuclear weapons, but can also be used to create a “dirty bomb,” a type of radiological dispersal device (RDD). The radiation from a “dirty bomb” could spread a few miles from the explosion, according to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “Most RDD scenarios tend to focus on a device that uses high explosives to pulverize and disperse radioactive material,” Peter Zimmerman of National Defense University, which is funded by the United States Department of Defense, has noted. “It is important to note that there are a number of methods that can be used to deliver radiological material in addition to the highly publicized method of using conventional high explosives. Radioactive material can be disseminated in the form of discrete sources. Some forms of isotopes can be dissolved in solvents and sprayed widely; still others can be burned or vaporized. … any complete plan to respond to an RDD must take into account all of the reasonable ways such a device might function, including those so stealthy that the population might ingest or inhale significant doses before an attack becomes apparent.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth once again dragged the media as he described what really happened when the United States launched targeted strikes over the weekend on Iranian nuclear facilities, saying that the targets had absolutely been destroyed and media outlets didn’t say so only because they were “rooting against Trump.” Hegseth held the Thursday morning press conference, announced one day prior by President Donald Trump, to correct the record after CNN and other outlets ran with early reports — apparently based on leaked intelligence — that the strikes had not been as successful as the Trump administration said. Hegseth began by explaining that the leaked intelligence report had been what was called “low confidence” — meaning that those who had evaluated it believed it to be at best premature and at worst wholly inaccurate — and that they fully expected more complete and accurate reports to follow. Still, multiple media outlets ran with the early intel.

HERE ARE THE FACTS: pic.twitter.com/OFJVeIVvB4 — DOD Rapid Response (@DODResponse) June 26, 2025 Even the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which initially issued the report, referred to it as “preliminary” and “low confidence,” Hegseth noted, and then pointed to the slew of updated assessments that had not made it into the New York Times and other outlets’ coverage. “Before I pass to the Chairman, because you and I mean specifically you, the press corps, because you cheer against Trump so hard, like in your DNA and in your blood, to cheer against Trump. You want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of the strikes,” Hegseth said. “You have to hope they were not effective. Let’s take half-truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the public mind over whether or not our brave pilots were successful.” WATCH: . @SecDef JUST CALLED OUT THE FAKE NEWS: “I mean specifically you, the press core, because you cheer against Trump so hard, it’s like in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump.

Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is? Have we done it two or three times?” Hegseth asked. “So that American people understand about how difficult it is to shoot a drone from an F-15 or 16 or F-22 or F35? Or what it’s like to man a Patriot battery. Or how hard it is to refuel midair, giving the American people an understanding of how complex and sophisticated this mission really was?” “There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn’t successful,” Hegseth continued. “It’s irresponsible. Folks in this room are privy to that information because of the proximity here in the Pentagon. It’s an important responsibility.” Hegseth went on to point out that while the goal might be to paint President Trump as ineffective or worse, the consequence was that it “undermined” the complex and dangerous work being done every day by men and women in uniform on behalf of the American people and their interests worldwide. “And time and time again, classified information is leaked or peddled for political purposes to try to make the president look bad. And what’s really happening is you’re undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission, set back a nuclear program in ways that other presidents would have dreamed,” Hegseth explained. “How about we celebrate that? How about talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it’s too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news, so we’re used to that.” WATCH: . @SecDef “Time and time again classified information is leaked or pedaled for political purposes to try to make the president look bad.

We should celebrate it as Americans, and it gives us a chance to have peace, chance to have a deal, and an opportunity to prevent a nuclear Iran, which is something President Trump talked about for 20 years and no other presidents had the courage to actually do.”

President Donald Trump secures increased funding from NATO members, Senate Republicans consider the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and a therapy student blows the whistle with explosive allegations on mandatory training in smut. It’s Thursday, June 26, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Morning Wire is available on video! You can watch today’s episode here:     If you’d rather listen to your news, today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below:     The North Atlantic Trump Organization Topline: In a significant foreign policy victory for President Trump, NATO allies agreed Wednesday to his demands that they increase defense spending. President Trump took a victory lap following his successful strikes on Iran and subsequent ceasefire on Wednesday, scoring another feather in his foreign policy cap. For years, Trump has been a vocal critic of NATO, arguing that the United States was being taken advantage of by its allies, who spend far less on defense for the NATO alliance. He arrived at The Hague this week demanding that member states increase their defense spending from 2% of GDP to 5% by 2035, and almost all members quickly agreed. For context, one country — the United States — currently accounts for more than two-thirds of NATO’s entire defense budget. “For too long, one ally, the United States, carried too much of the burden of that commitment — and that changes today,” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said. “President Trump — dear Donald — you made this change possible… we will produce trillions more for our common defense to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America’s allies.” In exchange for that increased spending, President Trump reiterated his commitment to adhering to Article 5, the NATO clause that states an attack on one member is considered an attack on all.  Ahead of the summit, Trump said he wasn’t sure where he stood on Article 5, and that it “depends on your definition.” However, once the other members agreed to increase defense spending, the president offered his full support.  The only holdout among the alliance was Spain. The country’s prime minister said 5% was “unacceptable” and would force him to cut social services. Instead, they plan to increase their spending from just 1.2% to 2%. That clearly angered Trump, who said he’d make them pay more in a future trade deal. In a press conference at the summit, the president also refuted reports that Iran’s nuclear facilities only sustained minor damage in U.S. strikes last weekend, reiterating that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and fully obliterated.” Trump announced that the United States would meet with Iranian officials next week to ensure the country does not continue to pursue a nuclear weapon.   The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Nears Senate Vote Topline: The Senate is set to vote on Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” – will the GOP majority hand the president a win on his signature legislation? The Republican-led Senate is set to vote on Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill this week despite some continued divisions within the GOP. The bill contains many of President Trump’s key policy planks, including increased immigration enforcement and defense spending, a $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling, his promised ‘no tax on tips,’ and permanent extensions for the 2017 tax cuts passed during Trump’s first term. “It is so important that we get this one big bill, this one big beautiful bill over the line,” Stephen Miran, chairman of the nonpartisan Council of Economic Advisors, told The Daily Wire. “If we don’t, it’s going to be the biggest tax hike in history. It’s going to be a $4 trillion tax hike on American families and American workers.” A key sticking point has been the bill’s pricetag – the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that it would add $3 trillion to the deficit. Supporters dispute that characterization, arguing that the CBO isn’t factoring in the economic growth they believe the bill would create, which they say could result in a net decrease of deficit spending on the order of trillions of dollars over the next 10 years.  “More tax revenues reduce the deficit,” Miran said. “So the best way to reduce the deficit in debt is to grow the economy. …[The] CBO just ignores growth altogether… [and] tariff revenue. Tariffs are bringing in total deficit reduction – hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue every year going forward.” However, some Republican senators remain skeptical and continue to argue that passing the bill would be fiscally irresponsible. “I’m not for raising the debt ceiling by 5 trillion dollars,” Sen. Rand Paul(R-KY) said. “I think that is a mistake to have such a large extension of the credit line to a Congress that has shown disregard for fiscal responsibility. The Republicans have a three-seat majority in the Senate – Vice President JD Vance will presumably break any ties in the president’s favor, but unless Democrats decide to cross the aisle (which appears highly unlikely), the “Big Beautiful Bill” will need the support of at least 50 of the 53 Senate Republicans.   A Course You’ll Remember In Therapy Topline: A California psychology student training to be a therapist is blowing the whistle on alleged ideological bias and required sexual disclosure in therapy training. The following story is not appropriate for younger readers. Naomi Epps Best, a 26-year-old graduate student at Santa Clara University, decided to go public with allegations against her university’s psychology counseling program. Best says she was required to write a sexual autobiography and was subjected to gratuitous smut in one of her required classes, “Human Sexuality.”  “I immediately discovered in the syllabus sadomasochistic erotica, a crassly written pornographic illustration guide, and the final exam was an eight to 10 page comprehensive sexual autobiography: ‘When did I start masturbating? Chronicle my sexual past and present.’ I requested an accommodation not to complete this sexual autobiography and I was denied. I went up the chain to the professor, the chair, the dean, the provost, the president, the Title IX office, the campus ministry office and the ombudsman and I was met with institutional indifference to my ethical concerns.” Best later asked for an accommodation she heard had been offered to Muslim students – the ability to take the course remotely. Instead, she said the professor asked to meet with her and promised that there would be no required sexual disclosure and everything would be professional. “In this new class, I was required to write something down anonymously about something I disliked about my breasts or my genitals. We watched bondage videos, tutorial videos… there’s an argument to be made that therapists should be aware of the breadth of human sexual practices, including BDSM. I am not contesting that. But the manner in which this material was presented was promotional. It was actually a promotional video for a sex dungeon. And when the video ended, the professor said, ‘So what do you think? Who wants to try it?’ There was no clinical framing.” The Daily Wire reached out to Santa Clara University for comment. A spokesperson stated that the Human Sexuality class has been taught with a similar approach and assignments since the mid-1990s. They added that “we do not agree with many of the student’s public assertions about the class” and that “people who were present” dispute Best’s characterization of classroom discussions and course content.
