President Trump vows retaliation after Iran shoots down a U.S. helicopter.
The strikes are ongoing. The targets that we can confirm at this point are air defense systems inside Iran, as well as radar installations.
I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia HAL. It's Wednesday, June 10th. This is Morning Wire.
American taxpayers are paying to teach refugees to shower and use a toilet and to shame white immigrants. We have The Daily Wire exclusive.
They just said they were laughing. They thought it was a joke. It was just shocking to see that this population is being taught, again, how to use a toilet and to shower.
And new legislation seeks to stop China's attempt to infiltrate the U.S. car market. We talked to one of America's leading auto experts on the issue.
When you're driving around the U.S. roads, it will literally take all that information and send that back to the home base, which is China.

Chapter 2: What retaliation did President Trump vow after the U.S. helicopter was downed?
Because life insurance is one of those things almost everybody agrees is important. We'll be right back. Some policies are as low as $30 a month. What people seem to appreciate most is that it doesn't turn an important financial decision into a major project. You can take care of it quickly and get back to living your life. Because planning for the future isn't really about worrying.
It's about being prepared. Take 10 minutes to get covered today with life insurance through Ethos. Get your free quote at ethos.com slash wire. That is E-T-H-O-S dot com slash wire. Application times may vary, rates may vary.
President Trump is threatening retaliation after Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter on Monday. The act shattered an already tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Joining us now to discuss is Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce. So, Tim, we saw the U.S. respond to that attack late yesterday. What can you tell us?
Yeah, President Trump vowed to respond, and he didn't take long to follow through. According to U.S. Central Command, the U.S. began to launch airstrikes against Iran at 5 p.m. Eastern time yesterday. Targets included Iranian air defense systems and radars. Reports in Iranian state media made the attacks seem like they were concentrated along Iran's Persian Gulf coast.
CENTCOM called the strikes a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression. Now, for its part, Tehran has neither denied nor taken responsibility for the downed helicopter. But Iran's foreign minister did post on X Yesterday that foreign forces in the region are at a constant risk on account of their own human errors, plane accidents, or potentially being caught in a crossfire.

Chapter 3: How are American taxpayers funding refugee hygiene education?
President Trump was more blunt. He said Iran was behind the downed Apache, and that, quote, "...the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack." He also confirmed that the two pilots of the downed aircraft were rescued and are safe.
Now, what do we know about the attack that downed that American helicopter?
Well, the Apache crew was out on patrol near the Hormuz Strait when it went down. The military said it would investigate the crash, but earlier reports say that it was caused by an Iranian Shahed drone. After that, the U.S. military was in a race to find the downed airmen before the Iranian forces could get to them. And in order to win that race, the U.S.
used unmanned drones to locate the pilots and even transport them to a safe pickup location. From what we know so far, the airmen were found by a U.S. Navy unmanned surface vessel, essentially a boat drone, after they had spent about two hours floating in the strait. The drone took them to shore, where the pilots were picked up by helicopter and taken for a medical exam.
That mission marked the first time that surface drones had been used in a rescue operation like that. It's a pretty new technology for the military. The unmanned vessel is part of Task Force 59, which the Navy launched in 2021 to incorporate more drone tech like the unmanned surface vessels. The Navy began to deploy their drone boats back in March.
Now, what does this whole interaction mean for the ceasefire, what's left of it, and a potential deal to end the war?
Well, it's certainly a step back for the ceasefire, and it easily could have ended it. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Trump has told aides he would end the ceasefire if Iran killed an American service member. So we'll have to see what kind of effect this attack has on the negotiation process.
It's notable that after this attack, the president said early Tuesday morning that negotiations were going well and he expects a deal soon, even within two to three days. Here was Trump.
I don't think there are any sticking points. We're very close to having a very, very good, strong, powerful deal. And we'll have a signed document that's actually stronger than doing the bombing.

Chinese automakers, including BYD, are producing vehicles that industry executives say are increasingly competitive on technology, quality, and price. Now Congress is considering legislation that would ban the importation, manufacture, and sale of all vehicle parts linked to China.
Joining us now is Lauren Fix, one of America's best-known automotive experts, who's been tracking this growing debate over Chinese vehicles and what their rise could mean for the future of the American auto market. Lauren, thank you so much for joining us.
Well, thanks for having me. Yeah, there's a lot going on in the automotive world in the past. I think it was kind of quiet. People just drove their cars. But there's so much going on in the world, and I think a lot of people are missing what's really happening and the impact it's going to have on everyone.
Yeah, some people are really starting to pay attention now. We've all seen the tariff wars. There's a 100% tariff on all electric vehicles from China still. How is the president handling the attempt by Chinese companies to take over more of the market?
So what President Trump has done is left the tariff in place and said, if you want to build cars here in North America, great, build a plant here. Not all the car brands like that, by the way. There are many car brands that are pushing against that because the Japanese and the Koreans have invested heavily here in the U.S., mostly Hyundai Corporation.
