<p>After he went golfing with President Trump on Sunday, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), an outspoken opponent of AHCA, said that he and Trump are <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/02/after-golf-with-trump-paul-says-very-optimistic-about-obamacare-repeal.html">much closer</a> than before to repealing Obamacare, adding that he is &#8220;very optimistic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, a founding member of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, which deified Trump and held fast against AHCA, joined Paul and Trump on the outing. Paul stated, &#8220;We had a great day with the president. We did talk about some health care reform. I think the sides are getting closer and closer together. And I remain very optimistic that we will get an Obamacare repeal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump had warned Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), &#8220;Oh Mark, I&#8217;m coming after you.&#8221; Last Thursday, Trump tweeted, &#8220;The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don&#8217;t get on the team, &amp; fast. We must fight them, &amp; Dems, in 2018!&#8221;</p>

Mark Sanford (R-NC), a member of the Freedom Caucus, &#8220;The president asked me to look you square in the eyes and to say that he hoped that you voted &#8216;no&#8217; on this bill so he could run (a primary challenger) against you in 2018.&#8221; Sanford has repeatedly called for Trump to release his tax returns and chided Trump for his rhetoric.</p>
<p>On Saturday, Dan Scavino, a senior White House aide and Trump&#8217;s social media director for his presidential campaign, targeted Freedom Caucus member Justin Amash, tweeting:</p>

Trump Met With Rand Paul. Here’s What Happened.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump celebrated on Thursday the return to normalcy for the price of eggs, declaring they were “plentiful and inexpensive.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Trump was responding to a tweet from Waffle House announcing that the 50-cent egg surcharge they had imposed for the last five months was officially off the menu.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Egg-cellent news…as of June 2, the egg surcharge is officially off the menu. Thanks for understanding! <a href="https://t.co/xXE6giZhRe">pic.twitter.com/xXE6giZhRe</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Waffle House (@WaffleHouse) <a href="https://twitter.com/WaffleHouse/status/1940040194817696182?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We brought the price of Eggs back to what they were supposed to be,” President Trump exuberated on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114789968096151564">Truth Social</a>. “When I took over on January 20th, the Fake News was screaming that, ‘Egg prices have gone through the roof, quadrupled,’ they said. Now they’re plentiful, and inexpensive. ‘Thank you President Trump!’”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In early February, Waffle House <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/02/04/waffle-house-50-cent-egg-surcharge/78211715007/">instituted</a> its egg surcharge, saying it was the result of the &#8220;continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (Bird Flu)&#8221; that had triggered a &#8220;dramatic increase in egg prices. &#8230; Consumers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions. Rather than increasing prices across the menu, this is a temporary targeted surcharge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the USDA, the price of a dozen eggs <a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf">soared</a> nationally in March to $8.17; it has plummeted to $2.54.</p>

<p>Almost exactly concurrent with the apex of egg prices, on February 26, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins <a href="https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/02/26/usda-invests-1-billion-combat-avian-flu-and-reduce-egg-prices">announced</a> a $1 billion comprehensive strategy to “curb highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), protect the U.S. poultry industry, and lower egg prices.” The five-point plan <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/agriculture-secretary-brooke-rollins-my-plan-to-lower-egg-prices-6be0f881">included</a> dedicating up to &#8220;$500 million to helping U.S. poultry producers implement gold-standard biosecurity measures,” making “$400 million of increased financial relief available to farmers whose flocks are affected by avian flu,” “exploring the use of vaccines and therapeutics for laying chickens,” removing “unnecessary regulatory burdens on egg producers where possible,&#8221; and considering “temporary import options to reduce egg costs in the short term.”</p>
<p>On June 26, Rollins <a href="https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/06/26/secretary-rollins-provides-update-bird-flu-strategy-egg-prices-continue-fall">gave an update</a> on the five-pronged strategy, saying, “After reaching a record high due to the Biden Administration’s lack of action, wholesale egg prices have now dropped 64%, with retail prices falling 27% from their peak earlier this year.”</p>
<p>“When President Trump entered office, the cost of eggs was at a record high, seriously denting consumers’ wallets after years of awful inflation,” she continued. “On my first day as Secretary, we got to work to implement a five-pronged strategy to improve biosecurity on the farm and lower egg prices on grocery store shelves. The plan has worked, and families are seeing relief with egg prices driving food deflation in the April Consumer Price Index.”</p>

‘Plentiful And Inexpensive’: Trump Celebrates As Egg Prices Plummet

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Regents of the University of Michigan — who serve unpaid — now have 24-hour security because of threats and harassment from pro-Hamas factions.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">UM Regents Jordan Acker, Mark Bernstein, and Sarah Hubbard told <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-859787">The Detroit News</a> that the university assigned them around-the-clock security after their residences were vandalized with pro-Hamas, anti-Israel messages.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Since Nov. 17, 2023, our regents and executive officers have been subjected to extensive and targeted criminal acts, including vandalism of private residences and businesses,” University spokeswoman Colleen Mastony stated. “These incidents, detailed in a press release, underscore the unacceptable level of threats and harassment directed at our institution’s leaders and their families.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We have taken prudent steps to support our regents and executive officers and will continue to rely on our public safety team to continuously assess risk, consult with external law enforcement partners, and allocate resources commensurate with those assessments,” she added.</p>
<p><strong><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The three regents said they continue to get threats via email and social media, as recently as June 9,” The Detroit News reported, noting that in May 2024, activists erected tents on Regent Hubbard&#8217;s front lawn and left on her doorstep &#8220;scenes of genocide in Palestine.&#8221; Her Instagram account was tagged with the message, “Regents, respond to our demands by the end of your board meeting this Thursday.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Last December, vandals targeted Regent Acker’s home. Acker, who has three young children, said he has been getting death threats as recently as June 9. Reacting to a jar of urine being thrown through one of his home’s windows, he said, &#8220;Any time your family is being attacked for who you are and for what you believe, I think that&#8217;s a pretty scary moment as an elected official, but it&#8217;s unfortunately the world that we live in these days.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s been really hard on them. It&#8217;s been really hard on my wife. It&#8217;s been really, really hard on my kids, especially my 10-year-old, who was woken up by the glass breaking,” Acker added.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The homes of former President Santa Ono and the university&#8217;s chief investment officer, Erik Lundberg, were vandalized last October. “In March, someone spray-painted ‘Free Palestine’ on the side of UM Provost Laurie McCauley&#8217;s Ann Arbor home,” The Detroit News noted.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This is something that the university has decided, it&#8217;s important to provide this support to their leadership. So it&#8217;s the regents and it&#8217;s also a number of other leaders at the university that have experienced these threats,” Hubbard said. “I feel that I can have this civil debate with people who have a different opinion than I do, and so it&#8217;s too bad that it has ramped up to this point where we&#8217;re concerned for our safety. It&#8217;s not a concern I have every moment of every day, but it&#8217;s certainly something I worry about because we see it going beyond the vandalism in so many areas around the country and in the world, and we don&#8217;t want to suffer that same result.&#8221;</p>

Pro-Hamas Activists Trigger 24/7 Security For University Of Michigan Regents

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday sent a <a href="https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/memorandum/Governors_Safe_Roads.htm">letter</a> to every governor in America, as well as the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the governor of Puerto Rico, urging them to remove political messages from crosswalks, including crosswalks painted in rainbow colors that recognize the LGBTQ community.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork,” Duffy told <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/07/01/exclusive-trump-admin-urges-governors-remove-rainbow-crosswalks-roads-promoting-safety/">The Daily Signal</a>.  “Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Noting that there were an estimated 39,345 traffic fatalities in 2024 across the nation and more than half of them occurred at intersections, Duffy implemented the Safe Arterials for Everyone through Reliable Operations and Distraction-Reducing Strategies (SAFE ROADS) plan, which would “focus on the non-freeway arterials within your State, including safety and operation at intersections and along segments, consistent and recognizable traffic control devices including crosswalk and intersection markings, and orderly use of the right‑of‑way that is kept free from distractions.”</p>
<p><strong><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Duffy gave the governors 60 days “to develop a list of arterial segments, including intersections, with the highest safety, operational, or compliance concerns that will be addressed by the end of Fiscal Year 2026.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Rainbow sidewalks have proliferated across the nation in recent years. The list of cites with rainbow crosswalks includes San Francisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Washington, D.C., Nashville, and smaller cities such as West Hollywood, California — where the first rainbow intersection was installed in 2012 — Key West, Florida, Huntington, West Virginia, and Ames, Iowa.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Crosswalk markings are classified as either transverse line or high-visibility,” the 2023 <a href="https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/11th_Edition/mutcd11thedition.pdf">edition</a> of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices for Streets and Highways — which is issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) — states. “Transverse crossing markings consist of two transverse lines. High-visibility markings consist of longitudinal lines parallel to traffic flow with or without transverse lines. Crosswalk markings shall be white.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The FHWA is concerned that considerable ambiguity continues regarding how colored pavement can be used, especially between the white transverse lines of a legally marked crosswalk,” the Department of Transportation <a href="https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/interpretations/3_09_24.htm">stated</a> in 2013. “In 2011, the FHWA issued an additional Official Ruling<sup><a href="https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/interpretations/3_09_24.htm#fn4">4</a></sup> that crosswalk art—defined as any freeform design to draw attention to the crosswalk—would degrade the contrast of the white transverse lines against the composition of the pavement beneath it. In deviating from previous Official Rulings on the matter that concluded an increased factor of safety and decreased number of pedestrian deaths were not evident after installation, this 2011 Official Ruling stated that the use of crosswalk art is actually contrary to the goal of increased safety and most likely could be a contributing factor to a false sense of security for both motorists and pedestrians.”</p>

‘Reimpose All Sanctions’: Iran Severs Cooperation With UN Nuclear Watchdog

<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump scored another victory on Tuesday as Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, agreed to a $16 million settlement in a lawsuit Trump had brought accusing the media outlet of election interference.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The lawsuit stemmed from an interview CBS News&#8217;s “60 Minutes” conducted with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris one month before the 2024 election. CBS News released a promotional clip of the interview showing Harris giving a convoluted answer to a question from host Bill Whitaker, but when the show was aired, a different, more coherent answer was shown.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Whitaker was discussing the United States&#8217; financial support for Israel in its war against genocidal Islamic terrorists in the region. “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” Whitaker suggested.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the promotional clip, Harris responded with this word salad: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Monday, on a 60 Minutes election special, Bill Whitaker asks Vice President Kamala Harris if the U.S. lacks influence over American ally Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. <a href="https://t.co/TG3WOCA23A">https://t.co/TG3WOCA23A</a> <a href="https://t.co/IH6MXMjuCP">pic.twitter.com/IH6MXMjuCP</a></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">However, those words were not included in the television broadcast, the interview when it was posted on YouTube, the interview&#8217;s transcript, or the show&#8217;s “Overtime” segment.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Instead, Whitaker&#8217;s identical statement, “it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” was followed by Harris saying: “We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala&#8217;s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national campaign press secretary, asked at the time. “The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala&#8217;s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it. What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113277179676731743">posted</a> on Truth Social. &#8220;This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable &#8211; It will always remain with this once storied brand,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have never heard of such a thing being done in &#8216;News.&#8217; It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today!&#8221;</p>

When I interviewed then President Trump in July 2020 @CBSNews we posted the interview transcript.” Herridge noted that the left-wing network did the same thing for its 2019 interview with then-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr. &#8220;Full transcript = journalistic transparency,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/1844203179287904262">added</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Sen. John Thune (R-SD) told The Daily Wire: “If the Harris campaign stands by all of the vice president’s comments, then I’m not sure why they wouldn’t support releasing the full interview. In fact, their refusal to join these calls only raises more questions.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) also called on “60 Minutes” to release the full interview. “CBS has proven its bias,” Barrasso told The Daily Wire.  &#8220;A news organization should never selectively edit a candidate’s words. The American people deserve full transparency and the full transcript.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Trump will receive $16 million upfront,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/paramount-global-settles-trumps-lawsuit-against-cbs-news-over-60-minutes-interview">Fox News</a> reported. “This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an anticipation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network in the future. &#8230; Going forward, the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates’ interviews.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“With this record settlement, President Donald J. Trump delivers another win for the American people as he, once again, holds the Fake News media accountable for their wrongdoing and deceit,&#8221; a spokesperson for Trump&#8217;s legal team told Fox News. &#8220;CBS and Paramount Global realized the strength of this historic case and had no choice but to settle. President Trump will always ensure that no one gets away with lying to the American People as he continues on his singular mission to Make America Great Again.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">CBS did not acknowledge any journalistic malpractice. “The settlement will include a release of all claims regarding any CBS reporting through the date of the settlement, including the Texas action and the threatened defamation action,” Paramount stated.</p>

Trump Scores $16M Payout From Paramount After Exposing Deceptively Edited Kamala Interview

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi admitted to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/iran-foreign-minister-claims-us-strikes-heavily-seriously-damaged-nuclear-sites/">CBS News</a> that the Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow, contrary to media reports based on thin intelligence reports, had indeed been “seriously and heavily damaged.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“No one exactly knows what has transpired in Fordow,” Araghchi said. “That being said, what we know so far is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged. The Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran is currently undertaking evaluation and assessment of the report, of which will be submitted to the government.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Asked whether Iranian inspectors had been able to access Fordow or whether they were still trying to access it, he answered, “The Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran will have to respond to that question because it is they who are currently doing the evaluation and assessment.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Araghchi was also asked whether President Trump’s claim was accurate that the Iranian nuclear facilities, which the U.S. struck, had been “obliterated.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It appears they have been heavily and seriously damaged. However, I would like to reiterate that I do not have accurate information regarding the damage. We need to wait until the reports come in to see whether or not they will be able to be relaunched or if they will be relaunched,” he answered.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the fact that Iran had enriched its uranium to a level only appropriate for nuclear weapons rather than peaceful energy purposes, Araghchi insisted that Iran only had a “peaceful nuclear program,” declaring, “Iran has undergone heavy sanctions because of its peaceful nuclear program &#8230; Iran’s peaceful nuclear program has turned into a matter of national pride and glory.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Iran has pursued uranium, which it is currently enriching up to a level of 60 percent in spinning machines called gas centrifuges,” the Foundation for Defense of Democracies <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/05/21/9-myths-about-irans-uranium-enrichment-program/">noted</a>. “Once that level is achieved, Tehran has accomplished 99 percent of the <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/08/25/irans-nuclear-concession-may-not-be-one-at-all/">effort</a> to make weapons-grade uranium. &#8230; Despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars on enrichment, <a href="https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/25/03/gov2025-8.pdf">enriching</a> thousands of kilograms of uranium domestically at three enrichment facilities, and claiming it has an ‘<a href="https://x.com/IranNuances/status/1919440662673432778">industrial</a>’ enrichment program — one that can fuel nuclear power reactors — Iran has yet to fuel its sole operating nuclear power plant at Bushehr.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Our people will not easily back down from enrichment and not put it away,” Araghchi trumpeted, then claimed that Islamic religious principles forbade Iran developing nuclear weaponry as he said, “According to the fatwa, that is a religious decree by the Supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution, nuclear weaponry has no place whatsoever in the security doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”</p>
