Chapter 1: What updates did Marco Rubio provide on Iran?
Marco Rubio gives updates on Iran. The president taps a familiar name to replace Tulsi Gabbard. And Google wants approval to release 32 million mosquitoes in California and Florida. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. Georgia Howe is off on a little mini vacation today.
Chapter 2: Who is Tulsi Gabbard's replacement and what is their background?
It's Tuesday, June 2nd. This is Evening Wire. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke on Iran at a heated committee hearing today.
Chapter 3: What is Google's plan to release 32 million mosquitoes and why?
Daily Wire foreign affairs reporter Cassie Akiva has the details.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio repeatedly clashed with Senate Democrats during a Foreign Relations Committee hearing Tuesday as lawmakers pressed him on Iran. Here's one heated exchange between Rubio and Senator Cory Booker.
Have made our adversary in a stronger negotiating position. And now we're begging to get back into a deal that you all trashed in the first place. There's no one begging for anything here. The Iranians might be begging because their economy is losing hundreds of millions of dollars a day. I don't know where you're getting this perception that Iran is stronger. Iran has no Navy left.
They've lost a substantial percentage of their defense industrial base. And their economy is far worse today. And I mean far worse today than it was six to nine months ago.
The hearing turned especially combative when Senator Jackie Rosen accused Rubio of attending a party with President Trump instead of participating in Iran negotiations in Pakistan with Vice President J.D. Vance.

Chapter 4: What were the key moments from the heated exchange between Rubio and Senate Democrats?
Take a listen.
What party was I at? I was at a party. It's publicly reported and there's photos there. But what party? No, no, no, no. But you're going to say that. I'm going to answer it. I'm going to answer that.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Senator Rosen, he has a floor. I know your staff wrote up this cute statement for your TikTok video, but it's not true and it's not real.
Rubio said he was alongside President Trump throughout the negotiations while remaining in constant contact with administration officials handling the talks.
The creator of the hit show Entourage has gone viral after posting a takedown on the current state of L.A. and endorsing mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. Daily Wire Entertainment reporter Amanda Harding has more.
Doug Ellen posted a video to Instagram last week ranting about the, quote, collapse of Los Angeles and ripping into Mayor Karen Bass.
Everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem. They're all putting cameras and hiring security guards because we're all getting broken into. It's not made up. It's not false. And this city has collapsed in the last five years. There is no denying it unless you have an agenda. And I don't know what that is.
Ellen said he has grown to hate the city in the past five years, especially after his house was burglarized in 2023. Ellen's Instagram rant went viral and it spotlighted the discontent among LA's liberals with the city's current Democratic leadership. Ellen has thrown his support behind Spencer Pratt, the upstart candidate gaining steam ahead of this year's election.

Chapter 5: How has Doug Ellen's viral rant highlighted issues in Los Angeles?
Emails suggest that Epstein attempted to use Gates' extramarital affairs against him as blackmail. Gates has said he, quote, did nothing illicit while spending time with Epstein in places such as Germany, France, New York, and D.C.
President Trump has named his replacement for Tulsi Gabbard. Daily Wire homepage managing editor Jordan Schroeder has more.
President Trump announced Tuesday that he is appointing Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William J. Pulte to be the acting director of national intelligence after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation last month. Pulte, a staunch Trump ally with a reputation for aggressive institutional cleanups,
will maintain his current role leading the Federal Housing Finance Agency and overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Pulte is known in D.C. for bringing fraudsters to justice with his help in charging New York Attorney General Letitia James for fraud and for philanthropy with his blight authority not-for-profit.
Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is free after being released from a Colorado correctional facility on Monday. Her release comes after Colorado's Democrat Governor Jared Polis finally gave in to pressure from the White House, ultimately commuting her punitive sentence. Peters is known as the grandmother who dared to ask questions about the 2020 election.
Back in April, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that her trial judge, Matthew Barrett, was biased against her conservative beliefs and violated her First Amendment rights. Big tech giant Google is seeking federal approval from the EPA to release 32 million, quote, good mosquitoes across California and Florida. This doesn't sound sketchy at all.
Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce has the details. The public health program titled Debug Project was created by Google's parent company Alphabet a decade ago. It plans to release male mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia to mate with wild females. Wolbachia is a parasitic bacterium that disrupts reproduction, males carrying it mate with wild females, leaving them unable to produce viable offspring.
It is completely harmless to humans as well, as it is already naturally occurring in many other insects. The surplus of mosquitoes will not cause any more bug bites as only females bite humans, possibly infecting with West Nile, Zika, and yellow fever.
The quote, good bugs, as Google refers to them, would prevent the world's deadliest disease vector from infecting millions and killing between 500,000 and 1 million individuals every year by preventing the bad bugs from being born altogether. A caveat, however, this is nearly identical to the plot of the 1997 horror film Mimic, and that led to superbugs hunting New Yorkers in the sewers.
