What recent developments are influencing the Strait of Hormuz?
Based on statements that were given to us yesterday, the day before yesterday, having to do with Japan, they are really stepping up to the plate.
U.S. allies in Europe and Asia signaled they're in on helping open up the Strait of Hormuz following days of pressure from President Trump. Will we see more NATO allies step up? I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, March 20th.
How are rising gas prices affecting Americans?
This is Morning Wire.
As Iran hits another energy center, gas prices spike again. How high should Americans expect them to go? And is relief on the way? You know, everyone asks, why can't we just pump more here? Well, we can and we will. But that doesn't solve the issue that we are part of the global energy markets.
What is the current status of U.S. military involvement in Iran?
And the legacy of left-wing labor icon Cesar Chavez is shaken by shocking new allegations.
She was 96 and she said that she couldn't let these survivors go on thinking that they were the only ones.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.
Let me tell you about one of the most concerning threats to your free speech, one that our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom are tackling right now. It's called the Digital Services Act.
How are global oil prices impacted by the Iran conflict?
It's an EU censorship law, but it's having real consequences for free speech all over the globe, including in the US. The DSA essentially gives European bureaucrats the power to shut down online speech, including Americans' online speech, in the name of fighting hate speech and misinformation. It coerces American tech platforms like X to censor you, or else face crushing fines and penalties. Alliance Defending Freedom is sounding the alarm on the DSA. ADF is also supporting a historic lawsuit from X that challenges the DSA in court. Your gift to ADF now helps fight the growing threat of censorship and advance your free speech.

U.S. allies in Europe and Asia signal that they too may get involved in the war in Iran after pressure from President Trump. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce is here to talk about the latest on the war in Iran. First, though, we'd like to note that six American service members who were killed in action were returned this week. Our military leadership honored them at a press conference yesterday. What did we hear at that event? Right. War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Cain welcomed their caskets back to the States at Dover Air Force Base. And then they honored them and their memory at a press conference yesterday morning.
And I want to mention their names this morning. From the 6th Aerial Refueling Wing out of MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, but stationed as part of an active associate unit at Birmingham, Alabama, Major Alex Klinner, John Alex Klinner, Major Arianna Savino, she was posthumously promoted from captain to major, and Technical Sergeant Ashley Pruitt, the boom operator on that crew. From the 121st Area of Fueling Ring, Ohio Air National Guard, out of Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus, Ohio, Captain Seth Koval, Captain Curtis Ankt, and now Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons, who was also promoted in the boom operator on that crew.
Well, our hearts are with those families. Now, after some initial resistance, it appears there has been some movement among U.S. allies to get involved in the war in Iran.
What allegations have emerged against Cesar Chavez?
What are we seeing? Yeah, that's right. Trump has pushed allies in Europe and Asia to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. As you said, that initial resistance seemed to crack a little bit yesterday. NATO Chief Mark Rutte is one of the most significant voices here, and here he was recognizing the world's interest in securing the Strait.
When it comes to the Hormuz Strait,
Who is Cesar Chavez and why is his legacy significant?
Everybody agrees this trade cannot stay closed. It has to open up again as soon as possible. I am confident that allies, as always, will do everything in support of our shared interests.
