Colorado is trying to silence free speech again. A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns even if they're biologically inaccurate. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian bookstore, and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them. They appealed the ruling, and with ADF's help, they'll keep fighting another attempt by Colorado to skirt the First Amendment.

I think we're doing very well. They are starting to give us the things that they have to give us. And if they do, that's great. And if they won't, then the man on my left is going to finish him off.

Few things give me as much joy as when my friends and family tell me how much they love their new Quince items. And just today, a dear friend and longtime Morning Wire listener sent me this picture from his trip to Italy in his Quince European linen suit. And he said it travels exceptionally well and has just enough stretch for comfort. And he even put his mom onto Quince too, hopefully with our promo code QUINCE. Quince makes fantastic clothing items made of high quality materials like linen, cotton, leather, cashmere, and they sell them for 50 to 80% less than highly comparable designer versions. And they do this by selling direct to customers, even though they're still using those same ethical factories as the much more expensive designer brands.

President Trump convened his full cabinet Wednesday, where he and other officials addressed a wide range of issues here and abroad. The meeting comes amid a series of defensive strikes by the U.S., including last night in response to four Iranian drones threatening ships in the Hormuz Strait. Joining us now with the details from the meeting and what's next on the president's docket is Daily Wire opinion editor Ben Dominich, host of The Big Ben Show. Ben, thanks for coming on.

So let's start with the top lines from this big cabinet meeting yesterday. As we reported, this kind of session is rare for Trump, and it's called in a particularly complicated moment on the foreign policy front in particular. So what were the big takeaways, including on Iran?
Unknown 3:28
Well, I think the big takeaway here is that the president wanted to send a message following the media reports over Memorial Day weekend of an pending Iran deal, one that was attracting a lot of criticism, particularly from the hawks within his party, not just the Lindsey Grahams and Tom Cottons of the world, but also people like Ted Cruz, that he was not going to accept a deal that did not achieve his aims. He says that Iranians are negotiating on fumes, which is one of the reasons why, and this is something that a senior administration official told us over the weekend, it's difficult for them to even negotiate given the lag time that happens between when you send something back to the Iranians and when they're coming back to you with a response.
