Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro believes former President Donald Trump will be elected to the White House again in November. Shapiro made the prediction during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored that aired Wednesday. The Daily Wire host and co-founder is backing Trump and thinks he will win because of Biden’s poor performance as president. “This is always the proviso: if Donald Trump can keep his trap somewhat shut, he is going to win,” Shapiro said. “If this is a referendum on Joe Biden’s leadership, Donald Trump will win. If Donald Trump makes himself the center of the election, then that’s a dicier issue for him, obviously.” Shapiro and Morgan covered a variety of topics during the roughly 30-minute interview, such as Trump’s conviction last week on 34 felony counts in Manhattan. Shapiro has called the verdict a “put-up job” and the result of politically motivated targeting of Biden’s chief political opponent. Morgan asked Shapiro if Trump had contributed to his own political persecution by pushing “lock her up” chants, referring to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at his rallies in 2016. Shapiro said there is no comparison between the slogan popular at Trump’s 2016 rallies and the actual prosecution and potential jailing of a major political figure. “I’ve met Donald Trump, I’ve been covering him for years obviously. If you take everything that Donald Trump says at pure face value, you’re a fool,” Shapiro said. “He didn’t do it,” Shapiro continued, referring to prosecuting Clinton. “He was president of the United States. His DOJ was in charge. And he didn’t do it. And Joe Biden has been in charge for three years, and guess what? His DOJ is coming after Donald Trump in two separate jurisdictions, in Florida and in D.C. You’ve got local DAs in Atlanta and in New York going after Donald Trump. Kinda weird how it happens whenever it is the Democrats, but when Republicans talk about it, somehow that’s equivalent? I don’t buy it.” The November election may not come down to Biden versus Trump, according to Shapiro. The Daily Wire host said that the prospect of Biden suffering a breakdown because of his old age and health issues before the November election “is really high.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I think that there is a really good shot that the thing that we’ve all been waiting for, which is some sort of serious health event to happen to Joe Biden, unfortunately, I have a feeling that’s going to happen before November.”

Rapper 50 Cent made an appearance on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to speak with lawmakers about creating generational wealth for black Americans. While there, the recording artist said black men are “identifying with” presidential hopeful Donald Trump over President Joe Biden. The 48-year-old celebrity, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, stated his opinions from the perspective of a business person and liquor company owner. 50 Cent appeared with famed civil rights attorney Ben Crump to promote black representation in the liquor industry.  “This is really exciting for me to be here. I got a chance to meet with both sides today, and it feels really good,” he said. “[Lawmakers] don’t agree on a lot of stuff, and so to get them to agree on seeing me was an accomplishment in itself.” “My experience here has been great,” Jackson continued. “I went to talk to them about economic opportunities for everybody, and it’s really exciting. The response I got makes me feel that there’s bright things ahead of us.” When CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion asked about who he’s endorsing in the upcoming presidential election, the rapper said he hasn’t made a choice yet.  50 Cent also said he believes black men could be more likely to back Trump now. “I see them identifying with Trump. Because they got RICO charges,” he told Killion, referring to a RICO charge in the Georgia election interference case. As he mentioned, the rapper met with representatives on both sides of the political aisle during his visit. He posted a photo of himself with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) to X.  “Speaker of the house (sic) Mike Johnson (R) my fellow Shreveport friend said he is happy to see me making things happen creating lots of jobs,” Jackson shared in the caption.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “He says he doesn’t want to pay 62 percent in taxes — which, by the way, isn’t a plan of Joe Biden’s, that’s a lie — so he doesn’t want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn’t want to go from being 50 Cent to 20 Cent,” Handler told Jimmy Fallon in 2020.  “I had to remind him that he was a black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump, and that he shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook,” she added. 50 Cent responded by tweeting a clip of the exchange and adding the caption, “a what, another spin, Fu*k Donald Trump, I never liked him,” it said.

The following is an edited transcript of a Morning Wire D-Day Tribute interview between Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley and Michael Reagan, son of the 40th president of the United States. June 6, 2024, is the 80th anniversary of the day that ultimately turned the tide of the Second Great War: the Allied Forces’ invasion of Normandy. Code-named “Operation Overlord,” the invasion involved 156,000 Allied troops, half of them Americans, who launched a bold assault on five German-occupied and heavily fortified beaches. Morning wire sat down with Michael Reagan, son of America’s beloved 40th President Ronald Reagan, who famously traveled to Normandy four decades ago to honor the brave soldiers who stormed those beaches. * * * JOHN: Joining us now to discuss the 80th anniversary of D-Day is Michael Reagan. Michael, thank you for coming on. MICHAEL: Thank you. JOHN: First, why is recognizing D-Day still so important 80 years later? MICHAEL: Well, because this anniversary would be the last big anniversary where anyone who came out of a plane on D-Day 80 years ago is going to be present there in Normandy, France. There are a million people there right now. There are 46,000 people there right now guarding the million people and the president who’s going to be arriving. It is a huge, huge day, this 80th anniversary of D-Day. I’ve been there on two or three occasions. They were large, but this one is humongous. JOHN: Now, many have commented that today’s youth and military look a lot different than the generation that stormed the beaches. What aspects of the Greatest Generation are missing that you think need to be brought back into today’s culture? MICHAEL: I think today’s youth would dive out of planes to save the world as these did back 80 years ago. My problem is the people who are in school who don’t even know why D-Day exists. Not too many years ago I played golf with a young man, and I was invited to Normandy to raise the American flag at the American Cemetery. I was telling him I was headed to France to do that. And he asked me, ”Why is there an American cemetery in France?” He had no idea, no concept. I looked at him and I said, ”Did you think D-Day is when your report card came out?” He had no concept why there was a cemetery in France. If you run a survey of high school kids today, probably even college kids, and ask them about D-Day — they have no idea about D-Day, why we have a cemetery there, why it existed and why we saved that part of the world and actually saved the whole world. That is the thing that bothers me. Not the ones who are in the military now, who have given their lives, their arms, pieces of their body and what have you. The ones who are really scary to me are the kids in school who have no concept why and what we’ve done. Anwar Hussein/Getty Images JOHN: And what could be done to remedy this? How can we best go about educating today’s students on World War II and the Holocaust? MICHAEL: You know how I learned it? I learned it from my dad. Sitting in the right front seat of a station wagon any given Saturday morning. Picking me up from my mom’s house. Driving me out to the ranch in Malibu. You all remember the ranch dad had during the presidency. This is the ranch I grew up on in Malibu. And regaling me — Songs, military, Army. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard — and telling me about this country, telling me about how great it was and is, telling me stories. Too often we parents, conservatives also, leave it up to  the schools to educate our kids. Well, how’s that working out? It’s not working out. So we’ve got to take it back ourselves, homeschool the kids or at least educate them on this D-Day, this 80th anniversary, and what these people were willing to do and willing to give to save the world. JOHN: You mentioned your father. Can you explain your father’s significance around recognizing formally D-Day? MICHAEL: Well, it’s interesting because President Biden is going to Normandy to speak on D-Day, but it was my father 40 years ago who was the first president to actually go to Normandy on D-Day and speak as he did.  JOHN: Right, a truly historic moment in 1984. Here’s a bit of that famous speech: When men like Private Zanata and all our Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy 40 years ago they came not as conquerors but as liberators when these troops swept across the French Countryside and into the forests of Belgium and Luxembourg they came not to take but to return what had been wrongly seized. When our forces marched into Germany they came not to prey on a brave and defeated people but to nurture the seeds of democracy among those who yearn to be free again and we salute them. MICHAEL: I would also suggest going to YouTube and pulling up dad’s speech at Pointe du Hoc, about the boys at Pointe du Hoc, and watch those videos. The cliff these kids climbed at 17 — some lied about their age at 16-, 17-, 18-years-old — going up these cliffs with machine gun fire, firing down at them. Listen to that speech. He was the first president to speak on D-Day in Normandy, France, and now every president since my father has followed suit and been in Normandy on D-Day to speak. 6th June 1984: US President Ronald Reagan delivers a speech commemorating the Fortieth Anniversary of D-Day, at the site of the Allied invasion, Pointe Du Hoc. (Photo by Ronald Reagan Library/Getty Images) JOHN: The education of young conservatives continues through the efforts of the Reagan Library and the Reagan Ranch. Is that the legacy of your father?  MICHAEL: Absolutely right. The library does a great job. Big events, like celebrating the 20th anniversary of my dad’s passing this week. Of course, the 40th anniversary of him going to Normandy. What they do there, the scholarship programs that they have there. I go there so often, I’m probably there once a month, I take people on tours, I play docent for a day, if you will. I love doing it. They refer to me at the library as the prequel because I have stories to tell behind the stories that they tell, which is great. I work a lot with the Young America’s Foundation, who bought the ranch back in 1998. I’ll be speaking to 200 high school students at the Ranch Center in Santa Barbara on the 19th of this month. They’ll be able to walk in the footsteps of my father, see the building. The ranch house is exactly the way it was the last time my dad was there. He didn’t know he wasn’t going back because of Alzheimer’s, and Young America’s Foundation has done a phenomenal job of taking care of it. They now have bought the boyhood home in Illinois, they’re in charge of the home. He was born in Tampico, Illinois, and they bring kids from the Midwest — all over the world, actually — to come in and learn about my father. That’s where the legacy is. It’s through the Young America’s Foundation, and the ranch, and the homes, and the, and the Reagan library, with what his accomplishments were prior to becoming president, but also as president. If you haven’t been to any of those places, you need to go. LISTEN: Catch the full D-Day Tribute interview with Michael Reagan on Morning Wire JOHN: And why do you think it’s important for younger generations to understand who Ronald Reagan was, and what do you think they need to know about him and his beliefs? MICHAEL: The humility. We’ve lost humility in this country. Nobody’s humble anymore. One of my dad’s greatest lines was, don’t worry who gets the credit. You can accomplish so many things if you don’t worry who gets the credit. And today there’s too many people taking credit and not giving credit. I mean, look at what he accomplished with Mikhail Gorbachev, because he was willing to give him credit. He knew he had to build up Mikhail Gorbachev in Russia in order to ultimately get what he needed, which is the Berlin Wall coming down. He had to work with many people to do that. You talked about this country with leadership and where we are, but there are no leaders in the world. There are no leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Václav Havel, Helmut Kohl, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pope John Paul. None of those people exist today. Dad found a way to work with all of them to accomplish ending the Cold War and bringing down the Berlin Wall. Through my Reagan Legacy Foundation, (ReaganLegacyFoundation.org) we have a scholarship program for the kids that serve on the USS Ronald Reagan. We provide them scholarships, not only for them but for their family members at home waiting for them, trying to get a better education. We have a brick project. You can go online and purchase a brick for 250 bucks with tax deductible, 501(c)(3), put a name on it. Or, if you don’t donate the money to the foundation, we’ll put the name of someone who dove out of a plane in the European Theater 80 years ago, and we’ll honor them with a brick at Saint-Mère-Église , Normandy, France, which is the first town freed by America on D-Day at 4:00 AM in the morning. So, go there and see what we’re doing. If you really want to get involved, that’s the way to get involved. JOHN: Final question, have you seen the new Reagan film starring Dennis Quaid?  MICHAEL: No. There’s a big preview of it on August 20th here in Hollywood, and I think it opens on Labor Day weekend.  JOHN: Are you excited or nervous about watching it?  MICHAEL: I’m always nervous when I see somebody play my dad.  I’ve known Mark Joseph forever, So I trust him, but I always get nervous. My family will be there on the 20th of August to see the whole thing. JOHN: Thank you so much for talking with us.  MICHAEL: Hey, thank you for having me. I appreciate it. God bless.  JOHN: That was Michael Reagan and this has been a special D-Day Tribute edition of Morning Wire. ***

In a dramatic turn of events, former President Donald Trump's limousine driver is prepared to refute explosive claims made by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson regarding the events of January 6, 2021. Hutchinson, who testified before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, asserted that Trump attempted to seize the steering wheel of his presidential vehicle and physically engaged with Secret Service agents. Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, given under oath, included allegations that Trump demanded to be taken to the Capitol following his speech at the Ellipse, becoming irate when his request was denied. She recounted hearing about the incident from Tony Ornato, the former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, and Bobby Engel, the special agent in charge on January 6. Hutchinson described Trump as saying, “I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now” before allegedly lunging at the steering wheel and at Engel when refused. Just released transcript from Trump’s driver of the Beast on J6 confirms that Trump never lunged for the steering wheel or got physical with Secret Service. This proves former-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson lied to the J6 Committee when she testified contrary on June 2022. pic.twitter.com/xA9jF5yo59 — Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) March 11, 2024 However, both Engel and the presidential limousine driver have stepped forward to challenge Hutchinson's narrative. They assert that no such altercation occurred and that Trump never attempted to grab the steering wheel or assault the agent. These former Trump staff members are reportedly willing to testify under oath to set the record straight, a move that could significantly impact the credibility of Hutchinson’s account. The Secret Service has also addressed the situation, stating that it has cooperated fully with the January 6 committee and is prepared to continue doing so. Secret Service spokespersons emphasized their willingness to provide clarifications regarding the allegations brought forward in Hutchinson’s testimony. They noted that the agency has already provided extensive testimony, though some of it was not featured in the public hearings. In JUST RELEASED testimony, that the J6 committee hid, President Trumps USSS driver confirms Trump never lunged for the steering wheel of The Beast, & never assaulted anyone. Cassidy Hutchinson LIED! PERJURY! pic.twitter.com/cqAXvk2qvj — ProudArmyBrat (@leslibless) March 11, 2024 Former President Trump has consistently denied Hutchinson’s claims, dismissing them as fabrications. He has taken to his social media platform, Truth Social, to refute various aspects of the testimony, including the infamous “Hang Mike Pence” remark, which Hutchinson claimed he made. Trump labeled Hutchinson's testimony as a politically motivated attack designed to tarnish his reputation. Hutchinson’s attorney, Jody Hunt, responded to the denials by urging those with firsthand knowledge of the incident to testify under oath, just as Hutchinson did. Hunt maintained that her client’s testimony was based on what she was told by senior officials shortly after the alleged incident occurred. As this story unfolds, the potential testimonies of Engel and the limousine driver could either corroborate or challenge Hutchinson’s explosive claims. The stakes are high, as the integrity of testimonies and the search for truth about the events leading up to the Capitol riot continue to be a focal point in the investigation. The committee’s efforts to uncover the truth about January 6 have been fraught with conflicting accounts and political tensions. The anticipated testimonies from Engel and the limousine driver are likely to add another layer of complexity to an already contentious investigation, potentially altering public perception of the events that transpired on that fateful day. As new developments arise, the nation watches closely, awaiting further clarification and hoping for a definitive account of what truly happened inside the presidential limousine on January 6. The truth remains critical not only for historical record but also for the accountability and transparency of those in power.

When a parent leaves their child for the first time, it can be traumatic for both the parent and the toddler. Whether it is a business trip or something else that causes the separation, the reunion isn’t always what you would expect. When Elizabeth Maclay left her son, Michael, for a 3-day trip, she did not get the expected toddler reaction. @elizabethmaclay Next time I’m leaving for far longer #baby #mom #toddler #parenthood #motherhood #babyreaction #fyp ♬ original sound – Elizabeth She swung open her son’s bedroom door and entered with a cheerful greeting. As she approached his bed, she was met with a steely glare. His expression barely changed as he diverted his eyes. Reaching to cradle his face, Elizabeth kept talking, telling him she missed him. He almost looks as if he’s never seen this weird lady before. Image from TikTok. His gaze moved away, staring down toward the floor. She gently caressed his arm, and he looked away completely. At this stage, Elizabeth felt totally snubbed, but she kept trying. Hopefully, her son warmed up to her after the video stopped rolling. We can definitely empathize with her on this cold reception. Image from TikTok. While she thought she would be welcomed with open arms, Elizabeth got the opposite reaction from her toddler. The comment section contains many parents sharing similar “snubs” from their children. Some offered explanations to help Elizabeth try to understand. User Gldchick10 said, “On his little defense he just woke up so he is not sure if you are real or a dream.” Most of the comments were supportive and encouraging. Several videos on Elizabeth’s vlog following this show her son loving on his mom, so Michael did get over his initial separation issues. That’s good because she thinks her next trip may be longer.
