We achieved the objectives of that operation. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howell. It's Wednesday, May 6th, Georgia's birthday, and this is Morning Wire.
Key primaries in several states highlight both parties' strategies, including Republicans' increased focus on fraud.
I'm doing this because I know we can get this done. This is not complex stuff, you know, fixing the waste, fraud, and abuse.
And the discovery of a massive supply of lithium in Appalachia could disrupt China's grip on the crucial resource.
Being able to reduce our reliance on China. When we have these own resources within our own country, we should not only be extracting them here, we should be processing them here.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.
This episode is sponsored by Brickhouse Nutrition. Weight loss injections have been getting a lot of attention lately, and for good reason. The results can be dramatic. They're designed to help regulate blood sugar and keep appetite in check. But not everyone wants to deal with weekly injections, and for some, the potential side effects are enough to look for another option.
That's where Lean comes in. Lean is a weight loss supplement developed by doctors, and people are seeing some impressive results. The ingredients in Lean are backed by research showing they can help lower blood sugar, convert stored fat into energy, and reduce cravings that make dieting difficult. It's also worth noting Lean isn't designed for someone looking to lose just a couple of pounds.
The team at BrickHouse Nutrition formulated it for people trying to lose 10 pounds or more and who want something that fits into a consistent routine. Some members of the Daily Wire team, myself included, have tried Lean and shared that they like how simple it is to incorporate into regular life. and it helps support their overall weight management.

Chapter 2: How are key primaries shaping the political landscape in the U.S.?
In her stead, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a man of many roles, fielded a wide range of questions from the press. He also provided some crucial updates on the standoff with Iran. Joining us now for her perspective from inside the briefing room and earlier at the Pentagon is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. Mary Margaret, welcome back to the show. Hey, guys.
Great to be here. As John said, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt began her maternity leave yesterday, so we had Rubio in her place. What stood out to you from inside the room?
Yes. So Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the podium yesterday and he gave us our first White House press briefing from the Secretary of State. He was animated. He was excited. He was enjoying himself.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of the lithium discovery in Appalachia?
The press were all laughing along with him. It seemed like everyone really enjoyed having him there. He was clearly a little overwhelmed by the absolute just packed nature of this room yesterday. So many reporters crowded in there. He joked a couple times that he had no idea who anyone was, so he was just taking a stab in the dark.
So my fellow reporters and I, you know, we were all chomping at the bit trying to get a question. We were really hoping that we did. Not everyone did, obviously, but he did a great job of calling on people all over the room, back, front, didn't pay too much attention to the front row, which I personally love because it means that he's given all the reporters a chance to
And he did, you know, he mixed in some levity with some more serious responses to questions. And he really didn't get mad at anyone, which I found interesting because I've seen him be a little more aggressive with reporters in the past. So I think he came in prepared to be congenial, to give answers to all the questions and to do Caroline's job.
That said, he does have some serious content to address. One main focus was Iran. What did we hear from him on that front?
So we talked a lot about the Strait of Hormuz, which obviously is one of the biggest issues in the news right now. He talked about how Iran has been planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz and how that's a direct attack on any of the people who are using it. He talked about how Iran has really made themselves the bad guy in this situation.
And so places like China, he said he hopes that China is encouraging Iran to understand their situation on the global stage and realize that no one really likes them right now. He talked about whether or not there is an end to the ceasefire. He said that there is not right now.
And he kind of echoed what Pete Hegseth told myself and other reporters that the ceasefire is ongoing and that it's up to the president ultimately to decide what will cause that ceasefire to end. He also talked about going to Rome. One of the reporters asked him a question about this. This is something that I covered for The Daily Wire this week for our website.
He's heading to Rome to make peace with the Pope after a lot of different confrontation between the president, between Pope Leo, between J.D. Vance, a lot of angst going on all over the world between the head of the Catholic Church and the president and the vice president. Now, Rubio, he didn't really buy into that framing, though we know that that's what's going on.
He suggested that it was really the role of the Secretary of State to get out there to speak to the Pope, to engage with him on a lot of different matters. But we've been told already by the State Department that this visit is about the Middle East. So they'll be speaking about all of these issues and more.

Chapter 4: What insights did Mary Margaret Olohan share from the White House press briefing?
That type of reform candidacy is one that obviously elevated him within the presidential stakes to the point where he was considered for a lot of different positions. He decided instead to run for this office. And I think that what you're going to see across the country is a lot of Republicans embracing the idea that
The Democrats are the representatives and defenders of waste, fraud, and abuse that is happening on a scale that I think Americans, until this year perhaps, were not as familiar with on a state and local level. They thought of Washington as being the place where your money goes to be wasted. It turns out it can be wasted in your neighborhood and community just as well.
Yeah, great point there. And it is notable that Ramaswamy cited Luke Rosiak's report. So fraud clearly becoming a dominant focus. What else are Republicans specifically hitting? Obviously, the economy and the Iran war are kind of hanging over everything. How are Republicans positioning themselves?
I think Republican candidates are going to stress that affordability is a situation where Democrats just don't have an answer for it. They don't actually have any solutions really when it comes to increasing affordability for Americans.
They aren't willing to actually go down the road of cutting government spending in any way or of dealing with the type of regulations they've put into place that increase the cost for the average family. And I think one of the other things that people are really hoping on the Republican side is that if the Iran war and the conflict
driven price of gasoline is something that can be addressed in short order, meaning before the summer, that it's something that they can recover from. And then finally, I think the message that they've got is about overall governance and competence. There's an attitude on the Democratic side that they can nominate all of these different radical people who have no record whatsoever in terms of
doing anything for the communities that they are trying to represent. And what you can see in certain times like this is that candidates get nominated who don't deserve to be nominated. And if they turn out to be too radical, voters will still reject them.
Yeah, I think on this topic of radical candidates, Graham Platner in Maine certainly stands out, especially with the national attention he's gotten in this Nazi tattoo. Is the Democratic Party coalescing behind him there? And why isn't this seen as a major risk?
So that's a great question. Graham Plattner in Maine is one of the most radical people I think you've ever seen nominated for the U.S. Senate. He's somebody who has said crazy things online and also, of course, had to deal with the fact that he had an SS tattoo on his chest, literally.
