The Pastor China Won’t Let Go

A nationwide protest drew millions and went viral online, but many participants struggled to explain why they were there. Reporters repeatedly asked a simple question - why are you here - and often received vague or contradictory answers. It raises a broader question about modern protest movements: are they driven by clear ideas, or by emotion and online momentum? Get the facts first with Morning Wire?

The Protest That Couldn't Explain Itself

For years, recycling was treated as an unquestioned good—just sort your plastics and you’re helping the planet. But what if we all stopped recycling tomorrow?

Behind the blue bins is a global network of sorting facilities and landfills, where much of what people recycle is never actually reused. What looks like environmental responsibility is, in many cases, something far more convoluted.

On this episode of Morning Wire, investigative journalist Ken LaCorte explains how plastic recycling really works and why its effectiveness may be far lower than advertised. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

America’s Birthday Blues & Bezos’ Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly | 6.1.26

For decades, artificial intelligence was dismissed as science fiction. Then one lab changed everything.

Inside a small London research company, scientists were teaching machines to play games, predict protein structures, and solve problems humans couldn’t. What started as an obscure AI experiment soon became the center of a global race for superintelligence — with enormous consequences for medicine, warfare, scientific discovery, and the future of human intelligence itself.

On this episode of Morning Wire, journalist Sebastian Mallaby explains how DeepMind helped launch the modern AI revolution and why its founder Demis Hassabis believes artificial intelligence could push beyond the limits of human understanding. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

One of President Trump’s first major actions after returning to office was offering refuge to white South Africans who faced property seizures and racial violence at home. The decision sparked a political firestorm, but months later, many Afrikaners say their promised path to America has stalled.

Daily Wire immigration reporter Jennie Taer joins Tim Rice to discuss her investigation into the refugee program, the nonprofit at the center of the controversy, and why some refugees have been left in limbo.


They Sold Everything. Then the Flight Was Canceled.
