Chapter 1: What was Trump's response to Russia's missile and drone attacks on Ukraine?
Trump issues a rebuke to Putin after Russia strikes Ukraine with missile and drone attacks.
It's horrible those missiles landed. What's even worse is there are today people that were alive yesterday that are not alive today because this war continues and the president wants to stop it.
How will the attacks affect peace negotiations?
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, April 25th, and this is Morning Wire. A group of religious parents sue their school district over their children's forced exposure to LGBT content.
A lot of parents are upset by this. Their religious rights are being overstepped.
And the White House is warning parents and teens about the rise in child exploitation. And they've enlisted the help of country music star John Rich.
It can save your kid's life. It's crucial. I would say it's the most important information I've ever put out on social media.

Chapter 2: How have Russia's attacks impacted the ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine?
Russia attacked Ukraine's capital with a series of missiles and drones on Thursday. The surprise attack derailed US-led ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
Here to talk about the latest in the war between Russia and Ukraine and President Trump's efforts to end it is Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearson. Tim, so we had this barrage of attacks yesterday. Where does that leave peace negotiations?
Stalled. Yesterday's attack on Kiev left at least a dozen dead and dozens more wounded and also killed what momentum there was toward a ceasefire. Up until yesterday, the White House had sounded optimistic about a deal. President Trump still believes there will be a deal, but there was an edge to his comments yesterday.
We're in the midst of talking peace, and missiles were fired, and I was not happy with it. If the bombs keep falling, will you consider additional sanctions for Russia, or what will you do if President Putin... I'd rather answer that question in a week. I want to see if we can have a deal. No reason to answer it now, but I won't be happy, let me put it that way.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has been willing to work with the U.S. on peace terms, more willing since his disastrous White House meeting in February. Since then, Zelensky has agreed to sign a minerals deal with the U.S. And last month, he said Ukraine would agree to a full ceasefire to set up peace negotiations. But Moscow never bought in.
All they could agree to was a 30-day pause on attacks against energy infrastructure.
Right. Now, over the weekend, the United States rolled out a proposed peace deal. What are the terms of that deal?
Right. The proposal was constructed by the U.S. and Europe, and it recognized Russian control of Crimea and accepted Russia's control of land in Ukraine's east. It would ban Ukraine from NATO membership and start the U.S. and Russia on a path of economic normalization, with all sanctions lifted from Russia.
The proposal didn't set limits on Ukraine's military, something Moscow had wanted, and it included the minerals deal with the U.S., Notably, it did not include any security guarantees from either the U.S. or Europe for Ukraine. Now, this was just the starting point. Obviously, the terms would change with negotiation.

Chapter 3: What are the terms and challenges of the proposed U.S.-led peace deal for Ukraine?
Well, we haven't seen much concrete action from Russia. Ukraine has said it wants to talk, but it will have some major problems with the peace proposal as it is currently written. Zelensky has already said that giving any occupied territory over to the Russians would be a red line. Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro traveled to Kyiv this week to sit down with Zelensky.
The Ukrainian president had this to say about the tone from the White House.
We would like really to have this common understanding that Russia is the aggressor, not we. And we really want the United States not to search for the balance in these words. That's painful for our people to hear.
As Trump is fond of saying, we'll just have to see what happens. Tim, thanks so much for joining us. Good to be on.

The Supreme Court looks poised to rule in favor of religious parents who want the right to opt their kids out of LGBT material at school.
During heated oral arguments on Tuesday, the conservative justices pushed back on a Maryland school district. Here with more is investigative reporter Mairead Elordi. So, Mairead, first, what are the basics of this case? Hi, Georgia.
Yes, so this case, it's called Mahmood v. Taylor. It involves Montgomery County Public Schools, which is Maryland's largest school district. A group of parents that includes Muslims, Catholics, and a Ukrainian Orthodox Christian brought this case against the school district, which is just outside D.C. Thomas Taylor is the superintendent of the school district.

Chapter 4: What is the Supreme Court case about parents opting their kids out of LGBT material in schools?
Another book is called Born Ready, about a boy named Penelope. And another book tells the story of a girl attending her uncle's same-sex wedding. Yet another book is called Pride Puppy, about a puppy who gets lost during a pride parade.
One mom who protested on the steps of the Supreme Court on Tuesday said she pulled her kids out of Montgomery schools when she couldn't opt them out of the LGBT books. Here's that mom talking to local news.
They can keep the books. They can read it to their children. If there are parents who feel this is appropriate for their three-year-old, four-year-old, and elementary kids, they can teach it to them. But we don't think it's right. We don't want it right to our kids. There has to be transparency.
Chapter 5: What books are included in the new LGBT curriculum facing parental opposition?
So parents in this school are clearly very unhappy. What did the justices say when they heard the oral arguments?
Well, the more conservative justices seemed highly skeptical of the school district's arguments. Justice Samuel Alito quizzed the lawyer for the school superintendent about why it's supposedly too hard to let parents opt their kids out from reading LGBT books in class. Take a listen.
What is the big deal about allowing them to opt out of this? I think on the facts of this case, we have the natural experiment of the schools permitting these opt-outs and then finding that it was not administrable. It wasn't true in every school. Why is it not administrable? They're able to opt out of the health class, right? The health class is taught discreetly.
mandatory meeting for all parents where they are told exactly what's going to be taught in it, and they're given the option of opting out of the unit of instruction, not the particular... Well, that's how you define the unit of instruction. You could define the unit of instruction to include the reading of these storybooks. And that's not compelled as a matter of Maryland state law.
Chapter 6: What was the reaction of parents protesting against mandatory LGBT curriculum?
It's not compelled as a matter of state law, but why should it not be compelled as a matter of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment? There's nothing... What is infeasible about doing that?
Amy Coney Barrett also seemed critical of the school district's claims. Here's Barrett.
Chapter 7: How did conservative Supreme Court justices respond during oral arguments on the opt-out case?
Chapter 8: Who is involved in the campaign against child sexual extortion and what actions are being taken?
And the White House is warning parents and teens about the rise in child exploitation. And they've enlisted the help of country music star John Rich.
It can save your kid's life. It's crucial. I would say it's the most important information I've ever put out on social media.
