Chapter 1: What are the latest developments in President Trump's rally with House GOP?
President Trump rallies the House GOP as midterms ratchet up, minimum wage hikes up in several states, and Wagobe ditches the needle. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, January 6th. This is Evening Wire.
President Trump met with House Republicans today as the party heads into a high-stakes midterm year with a narrowing majority. The gathering comes after the death of California Congressman Doug LaMalfa and the resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene, further shrinking Speaker Mike Johnson's margin for error.
Trump warned lawmakers that governing with a razor-thin majority makes it harder to push a tough agenda, urging unity as Republicans prepare votes on health care, taxes, and border policy. But even as the midterms loom large, the president still struck an optimistic tone.
Together, we had 12 months of unprecedented success in 2025, and now we're going to make history and break records with the epic midterm victory that we're going to pull off.
President Trump has clarified that the US is not at war with Venezuela, but rather with the people who intend to do harm to Americans. He added that while the US is going to help stabilize Venezuela so its people can vote in new leadership, it's going to take some time. The current plan is for US oil companies to rebuild the oil infrastructure, which he said could take less than 18 months.
Politically and racially charged proposals from New York City's new tenant director are drawing attention and raising major legal questions. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has more.
Mayor Zoran Mamdani appointed Sia Weaver as director for the newly revived Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants. Weaver has outlined plans to transition private property in the city into a collective good, and she's singled out whites in the process. A resurfaced video of Weaver making this point has been making the rounds on social media. Here's a bit of that.
I think the reality is that for centuries, we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good. And transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that...
families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.

Chapter 2: How is the U.S. responding to the situation in Venezuela?
Meanwhile, hotel chain Hilton has come under fire for one of its franchises turning down DHS agents in Minneapolis.
A routine traffic stop in Indiana turned into a multimillion-dollar drug bust. State troopers arrested two men after discovering over 300 pounds of cocaine hidden inside the semi-truck's sleeper berth. Police say the truck was drifting alongside an interstate in Putnam County when a canine search uncovered the drugs. The haul was valued at roughly $7 million.
Federal officials say both suspects entered the U.S. illegally and were driving with California-issued commercial licenses. Immigration detainers have been filed to keep the suspects in custody as the case moves forward.
As the AI race intensifies, NVIDIA announced Monday that it's about to release newer, faster processor chips far ahead of schedule. Daily Wire reporter Breka Stoll has more on the release.
NVIDIA claims their new project known as Vera Rubin will allow developers to train models faster while using a quarter as many chips as their previous servers. NVIDIA's Rubin platform is made up of six new chips that come together and act as one AI supercomputer.
The company predicts Rubin will deliver a tenfold reduction in cost compared to Blackwell, which until Rubin was the company's most advanced technology. The Rubin platform will be released later this year in what some AI researchers have called a generational leap.
Since the dawn of the AI boom, NVIDIA has positioned itself at the forefront of chip development, taking its place not just as the largest AI company, but the world's largest company by market cap. NVIDIA is showing no signs of slowing down.
More information has been released about the hammer-wielding vandal who broke into Vice President Vance's Ohio home last week. 26-year-old William DeFore, the son of a prominent Cincinnati physician, appears to have a history of serious mental health issues. In 2024, he was sentenced to two years of mandatory mental health treatment after vandalizing a local business.
He was also charged with trespassing at a health care facility in 2023, but was declared mentally incompetent by a judge, so the case was thrown out. In recent weeks, DeFore appears to have been going by the name Julia.

Chapter 3: What controversial proposals are being introduced by New York City's tenant director?
Daily Wire assistant editor Nathan Gay has more. The move comes after congressional Republicans rescinded $1.1 billion in funding, cutting off the primary government revenue stream that has long sustained NPR and PBS. The CPB began winding down operations in August and notified 100 employees that most staff positions would be eliminated by the end of the fiscal year.
Monday's vote made the closure official. As The Daily Wire previously reported, A study from the Media Research Center found that one taxpayer-funded PBS program exhibited a consistent 93% negative bias against Republicans in the Trump administration over three months, despite claiming to provide objective political coverage.
Over a dozen sanctioned oil tankers left port from Venezuela over the weekend in what appears to be an attempt to evade the U.S. blockade. At least 16 tankers disguised or hid their locations after leaving Venezuelan ports in the wake of the capture of Maduro. Four of the fleeing tankers appeared to leave on Saturday, shortly after Maduro's extradition.
Some of the tankers have used the tactic called spoofing, which means they use fake ship names and misrepresent their positions. Most of the supertankers that left port typically transport crude oil
And a fat shot won't be needed anymore for Wegovy, as it's now launched in pill form in the U.S. Daily Wire assistant editor Andy Valdez has the details.
Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk is now offering a once-daily Wegovi pill in the U.S. with 1.5 and 4 mg doses, as well as higher doses of 9 and 25 mg. The pill was approved by the FDA last month, and it's a major boon to Novo Nordisk, which is hoping to regain ground lost to competitor Eli Lilly. Lilly awaits a decision for its own weight loss pill, which is expected in March.
