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.
Of course. Always great to be with you.
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?
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.
Personally, I think that the president wanted to just send the message, I'm in charge here. No one else is doing this. No one else is deciding whether we do it or not. There is not going to be some deal done that I am not content with. I think that was the key takeaway from this cabinet meeting.
Yeah, we also heard from Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on oil prices. He actually says prices will end up lower after this standoff with Iran is finally resolved. Is that just political messaging, or does the White House really seem that optimistic about where things are heading?

Chapter 3: What is Mayor Mamdani's new housing policy in New York City?
Do you think Trump accomplished what he set out to accomplish here?
100% when it comes to the primaries. He has been taking names and settling all family business over the course of this election cycle. And that's something that I think sends a message to the base. At the same time, I will say there is a situation here where the president, having decided all of these primaries, is making a bet on all these different candidates.
And now that means that if they end up running into a blue tidal wave, there will be people who say the president made the wrong choice. Now, this time around, I will say the president is making much wiser choices when it comes to the primaries of who he's choosing to back.
Yeah, as we've seen with Trump 2.0, this is a well-oiled machine when it comes to these campaigns. Now, looking forward here, what should we keep an eye out for in D.C.?
Well, we've seen Donald Trump, the national security foreign policy president, insistent that Iran won't have a nuclear weapon. We've seen him. as a domestic policy president, you know, creating these Trump accounts, doing all these different things. But we also have to remember, this is Trump the showman. And what everybody's buzzing about in D.C.

Chapter 4: How are tech companies reacting to rising AI costs?
right now is the fact that they are building this massive UFC fight set in front of the White House that everybody can see. When Mary Margaret Olan is walking into the White House, This is now so large, it looms over the White House itself. Everyone driving past is rubbernecking, and so it's creating traffic problems. So, look, Trump is looking forward to this on June 14th.
They're going to have this fight, and Dana White's been going around promoting it this week. And that's, I think, something that's going to be a reminder. Look, as much as Donald Trump 2.0 is someone who's very serious about his legacy, he also wants to put on a great show for the people.
Yeah, and he does that better than anyone. Ben, thanks so much for joining us.
Great to be with you as always.

They work by helping regulate blood sugar and reducing appetite.

Companies have been pushing artificial intelligence as a way to cut costs, but some of the biggest names in tech are now running into a different reality. AI can be extremely expensive. Uber burned through this year's AI budget in just four months, while Microsoft is cutting back on coding tools.
Joining us now to discuss is Alison Schrager, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a Bloomberg opinion columnist covering financial topics. She's also the author of An Economist Walks Into a Brothel. I want to hear the end of that joke, Alison. Great to have you on. Thanks for having me.
So when you look at companies like Uber and Microsoft pulling back or reassessing at least some of their AI spending, is this a normal growing pain when it comes to new technology? Or does this tell us something more fundamental about the economics of AI and the reality of it?
Well, I think it's a little bit of both. There is this fundamental growing pain. They're actually having to account for the cost of, you know, heavy AI use. And like a lot of new technologies, it's not really so clear showing up in productivity numbers yet, certainly not in profits.
Now, whether or not long term, that is a sensible strategy, whether it's worth taking a loss to get your employees more AI oriented, you know, is a question. It probably comes down to individual companies.
