Across America’s biggest cities, groups of teenagers are swarming stores, attacking bystanders, targeting police officers, and organizing “teen takeovers” through social media. Officials insist crime is falling but viral videos tell a different story.

Manhattan Institute fellow and “The War on Cops” author Heather Mac Donald joins Morning Wire to discuss what’s driving the rise in youth violence, why cities are struggling to respond, and how anti-police policies may be making the problem worse. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

Teen Takeovers Are Spreading. Why?

Air Force One is the most famous plane in the world. With three floors, a fully-functional operating room, and a kitchen that can feed 100 people at once, there's not much the plane can't do. But what's it like to fly with the president on his signature aircraft? Is it stressful? Is the food good? How does the press corps interact in the air? 

Today, Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan joins Tim Rice to discuss her latest trip with the president, and give us the inside scoop of what it's like flying on Air Force One. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

Behind The Story: Flying With The President

Universities, corporations, and governments that once prioritized objective truth and open debate are increasingly driven by emotional consensus and the fear of offending people. Critics argue that when empathy becomes detached from reality, it can distort public policy, discourage honest conversation, and destroy society.

Evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad joins Morning Wire to discuss his new book Suicidal Empathy, why he believes the West has embraced destructive forms of compassion, and what it will take to reverse course. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

US Takes Down Terrorists & ‘Unite The Kingdom’ Sweeps London | 5.18.26

When Americans think about Chinese espionage, they usually picture spy balloons, cyberattacks, or stolen military secrets. But some of the most concerning operations may be happening much closer to home.

Federal investigators have uncovered secret police stations, influence campaigns targeting local politicians, surveillance of dissidents, and networks tied to everything from intellectual property theft to fentanyl trafficking.

Investigative author Peter Schweizer says these are not isolated incidents. They’re part of a much broader strategy—one aimed at gaining influence, stealing technology, and weakening America without firing a shot. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

How Chinese Spies Are Operating In America

At first glance, the buildings didn’t look unusual. Empty storefronts. Generic office signs. Businesses that barely seemed open. But behind many of them was a massive flow of Medicaid money — part of a growing network of home healthcare companies accused of exploiting loopholes in the system and billing taxpayers for questionable services on a staggering scale.

On this introductory episode of Behind The Story, investigative reporter Luke Rosiak explains how he used government data, computer coding, and old-fashioned reporting to uncover a billion-dollar fraud scheme hiding in plain sight.

Why Were Empty Storefronts Getting Your Tax Money?

The AI revolution isn’t just happening online anymore. It’s arriving in towns across America — in the form of massive data centers, new transmission lines, and warehouse-sized buildings that consume enormous amounts of electricity.

Supporters say these projects will fuel economic growth and help America stay ahead in the AI race. Critics warn about rising energy demands, water use, and the growing influence of Big Tech on local communities.

On this episode of Morning Wire, energy analyst Mark Mills explains what’s really driving the data center boom, why AI requires so much infrastructure, and how the race for artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape America itself.
