Chapter 1: What warning did President Trump issue to Tehran?
President Trump issues a stark warning to Tehran and its proxies as he hosts Israel's prime minister at Mar-a-Lago.
They're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm, and we'll see how that works out.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Tuesday, December 30th, and this is Morning Wire.
The court hereby orders the redaction of the portions of the transcript corresponding audio referencing security measures identified in the party's joint status report and further pared down during the closure hearing.
The judge in the Charlie Kirk case rules on the side of transparency as TPUSA calls for more public access while the suspect wants the cameras out of the courtroom.
And alongside a historic decline in illegal border crossings, 2025 saw the largest single year drop in murders in U.S. history.

Chapter 2: What was the judge's ruling in the Charlie Kirk case?
Right. Netanyahu met with the president at Mar-a-Lago on Monday as Trump makes an end of the year push on some of his big foreign policy priorities. Now, the U.S. and Israel took out dozens of Iran's top ranking military and intelligence commanders and nuclear scientists earlier this year. But there's some concern that Iran may try to rebuild. Trump addressed those concerns.
Speaking of Iran, I hope they're not trying to build up again, because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup. I hope they're not doing it because we don't want to waste the fuel.
The two leaders also discussed the future of Gaza. The U.S. is trying to move the peace deal into its second phase. That involves setting up some kind of international peacekeeping force in Gaza and the beginning of major reconstruction. The Israelis, however, are concerned that terror threats, including Hamas, may reconstitute and need to be dealt with first. Here's what Trump said about Hamas.
If they don't disarm, as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, then they'll be held to pay for them.
The two leaders were also very warm to each other in public. Trump again called for Netanyahu to be pardoned, and the prime minister announced that Trump would receive the Israel Prize.
Well, President Trump has broken so many conventions to the surprise of people, and then they figure out, oh, well, maybe, you know, he was right after all. So we decided to break a convention, too, or create a new one. And that is to award the Israel Prize, which in almost our 80 years, we've never awarded it to a non-Israeli. And we're going to award it this year to President Trump.
Now, earlier this year, the U.S. and Israel did a combined strike on Iran's military capabilities and really dealt a pretty significant blow to their nuclear program. Where do things stand now with regards to tensions between the U.S. and Tehran following that operation?
Yeah, well, I guess the big question is how much of the rhetoric coming out of Iran is bluster, and what is the regime actually capable of? After all, Tehran hasn't softened its rhetoric at all after the joint U.S.-Israeli operations. Over the weekend, Iranian President Massoud Pazeshkin told state media that Iran is in a state of total war with the United States, Israel, and Europe.
Netanyahu and Trump seem to take those threats seriously, but as tough as Iran sounds, it has serious domestic and international problems. After Pozeshkin's threats were published, civil unrest broke out across Iran for two days. Iran is on the verge of economic collapse. On Monday, the rial's collapse continued and was trading at about $1.4 million.

Chapter 3: How did President Trump and Netanyahu address Iran's military threats?
Why was Robinson's team asking that this hearing be kept from the public?
You know, this was more of a pro forma argument. Robinson's attorneys have consistently argued that broad media coverage in general, including things like cameras in the courtroom, could prejudice potential jurors and jeopardize his right to a fair trial.
They're also saying that they're concerned that sensationalized images of Robinson risk inflaming public opinion before any sort of judgment is made. In fact, earlier this month at Robinson's first appearance in court, Graff blocked a media live stream of the hearing. And he also ordered that a camera be moved after Robinson's attorneys objected that their client was being shown in shackles.
Graff at that point ruled that the media is not allowed to show images of Robinson in restraints or really anywhere in the courtroom except sitting at that defense table. On the other side, though, you have a coalition of news organizations, including the Associated Press and Fox News, who filed a motion arguing that transparent proceedings are essential to justice and to public trust.
And they said in this motion that, quote, every high profile criminal prosecution has significant pretrial publicity no matter where it occurs.
But then another interesting wrinkle here is that Erica Kirk has joined that media call for transparency because she says that her family and the public deserve to have cameras in there, in part to prevent misinformation and conspiracy theories from taking hold about the case.
And, you know, a lot of people have noticed that a sort of cottage industry of wild, unfounded theorizing has sprung up around Charlie Kirk's murder. So I think TPUSA is hoping that greater public access to all of these proceedings can help tamp that down.
Right. Speaking of TPUSA, it's been three months now since Kirk's death. How are they weathering this ongoing storm?
You know, I'd say remarkably well. There are reports that over 32,000 students have signed up to start new chapters, and the organization is now opening dozens of chapters daily. Fundraising, we're hearing, is pouring in from major donors. And you have a lot of analysts pointing to the fact that TPUSA has played a major role in shifting young male voters in particular toward Republicans.
