After a long weekend of union agitator-fueled rumors about The Daily Wire&#8217;s new action film, production has wrapped after five weeks, as planned, and the union reps didn’t get their way.
It all started with Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/04/jonathan-majors-falls-through-window-crew-strike-daily-wire-1236773038/">publishing</a> an exclusive story about actor Jonathan Majors falling through a window while on set of the production in progress, which, according to their sources, led to a union strike and other allegations of safety concerns on set.
Faithful Daily Wire fans won&#8217;t be surprised to learn that there’s more to the story. Film producer Dallas Sonnier provided a short, yet direct, statement to Deadline, saying simply: “The entire industry is in freefall due to strikes, and now that their members are out of work, they’re trying to sabotage the few people who are still producing. We don’t negotiate with communists.”
So what really went down?
During the fourth week of filming, an executive from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, best known as IATSE, reached out to Sonnier claiming that she “represented the majority of the crew,” which consisted of both local hires in South Carolina and returning staff from previous projects. The IATSE rep “demanded” that they immediately be recognized and negotiate a collective bargaining agreement to cover staff wages, hours, benefits, and working conditions.
Before the deadline she proposed even arrived, a small handful of picketers were out creating a nuisance. It was that same day that Majors and actor JC Kiljoyne fell through a window filming a scene. Deadline posted video of the incident, and reported it was a six foot drop — though pictures posted show it was barely four feet off the ground.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The height of the window btw <a href="https://t.co/Lr1KlckW9c">https://t.co/Lr1KlckW9c</a> <a href="https://t.co/sAZF0UYiLb">pic.twitter.com/sAZF0UYiLb</a>
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/2041249651840454989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 6, 2026</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That stunt with the window was part of production&#8217;s plans for later that day, and Sonnier says it was far from an emergency.
&#8220;Everyone handled it quickly and successfully. We always have licensed medics on our sets, and this day, we had two,&#8221; Sonnier said. &#8220;The production was immediately halted to ensure safety sign-offs by both medics before moving forward.&#8221;
He also says the clip leaked to Deadline is definitely going to make it into the final cut.
The actors&#8217; comments are fully aligned. Kiljoyne’s rep told Deadline in the aftermath that he &#8220;did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project.&#8221;
Majors made similar <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/04/04/jonathan-majors-says-hes-fine-after-falling-through-window-on-set/">comments</a> to TMZ. &#8220;I&#8217;m ok. I was happy to be on set and help tell the story. I am grateful for whoever is checking on me, the cast and crew for regarding our safety. It&#8217;s going to be a great movie and I am looking forward to fans seeing it!&#8221;
While IATSE came out of left field, there was a SAG rep on set many days who confirmed that the actors “should show up and finish the movie as planned” following the accident. It was noted that the SAG rep had “zero safety concerns” for the movie.
“We had a licensed armorer every single day,” Sonnier said. “We had a safety meeting at the top of each day, and prior to any special effect or stunt. The reason we don’t have a ‘RUST’ situation is because we take this stuff so seriously,” he added, referring to Alec Baldwin’s firearm discharging while filming and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
During the fourth week of filming, 15% of the crew decided to leave. Based on conversations Sonnier had with the whole crew, this was the result of IATSE pressure and not because of any safety concerns, he said. All the staff who left were replaced by the next morning.
Crucially, those who left did not appear to be part of the picketing. “The ‘strikers’ were just angry union rep protestors,” Sonnier said, noting that by day two, their numbers were reduced to about seven people total.
The picketers caused minor annoyances, such as yelling at actors, encouraging cars to honk to disrupt filming, pressuring vendors to pull gear, sending threatening letters, and yelling “CUT!” and “ACTION!” as a way of confusing the actors on set. But in the end, production rolled on.
The Deadline article was released after all these efforts failed, especially after Sonnier refused to engage with their demands.
Sonnier said IATSE reps never called him or contacted him beyond the first email &#8220;because they are total cowards and whiny busybodies.&#8221; The producer says this was an illegitimate strike. 
Does IATSE have any response to this? IATSE, of course, did not respond to questions from The Daily Wire.

It is easy to forget the dystopian excesses of the Covid era: business closures, shuttered schools, and mask and vaccine mandates. A new development in Missouri v. Biden, a Covid-era lawsuit, serves as an important reminder of how precarious our basic freedoms become in the face of a perceived disaster. For the past four years, a coalition of state attorneys general, courageous scientists, and First Amendment advocates waged a counterattack against the federal government’s efforts to strong-arm social media companies into silencing those espousing views contrary to the government-approved narrative. 
Last week, the plaintiffs and the federal defendants submitted a consent decree to the court for approval. The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.189520/gov.uscourts.lawd.189520.477.1.pdf">proposed consent decree</a> is both a real win for free speech and a blueprint for further protections necessary to safeguard our First Amendment rights.
That need is underscored by another recent free speech victory by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/state-dept-reaches-censorship-settlement-with-daily-wire?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=7&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Daily+Wire+Wins+Landmark+Free+Speech+Victory+In+Censorship+Lawsuit+Against+State+Department">The Daily Wire</a>, in which the State Department agreed to stop supporting efforts that targeted protected speech by American media outlets. That settlement also imposed ongoing compliance oversight, helping ensure the government cannot quietly return to the same tactics.
The core allegation in Missouri v. Biden was that senior officials across multiple federal agencies had engaged in an unprecedented campaign to coerce and pressure major social media platforms into censoring lawful speech. The plaintiffs argued that the Biden administration had effectively outsourced government censorship to private companies, leaning on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to suppress content related to Covid origins and treatments, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and election integrity.
<div id="attachment_869089" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-869089" class="size-large wp-image-869089" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/01/GettyImages-1915020320-864x576.jpg" alt="WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 10: Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, departs a House Oversight Committee meeting at Capitol Hill on January 10, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Kent Nishimura/Getty Images)" width="864" height="576" />Photo by Kent Nishimura/Getty Images</div>
For example, Rob Flaherty, the director of digital media in the Biden Administration, tried to coerce Meta into suppressing posts critical of the Covid vaccine on Facebook, accusing Meta of driving “vaccine hesitancy.” Flaherty even demanded that Meta explain what it would do to suppress anti-vaccine content on WhatsApp, a private messaging application. Flaherty made clear he was not speaking just for himself, but rather for, “the highest — and I mean the highest — levels of the White House.&#8221;
The case bounced between trial and appellate courts, including a stop at the Supreme Court, as judges evaluated the nuances of the thorny, at times novel, claims at issue in the case. With the change in presidential administrations, however, the federal government no longer was the adversary, though it was still the nominal defendant. 
On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an Executive Order entitled, “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship,” which condemned the types of censorship the plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden had filed suit regarding. With a sympathetic administration in office, the plaintiffs were able to negotiate a consent decree rather than spend many more years embroiled in litigation.
The consent decree is focused on preventing the type of coercion, known as jawboning, that the federal government had used to do indirectly during Covid what it could not do directly: prevent Americans from speaking out in public about the major issues of the day. The parties agreed that the government would no longer take actions designed to bully social media companies into removing or suppressing content containing free speech. The consent decree further prohibits the government from directing or vetoing social media companies’ content moderation policies.
A critical limit in the consent decree, however, exposes the clear need for the government to take protective measures outside the confines of the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit. For technical legal reasons related to standing and jurisdiction, the consent decree is focused on the parties to the case. Rather than enjoin the federal government as a whole, the consent decree binds the Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which engaged in some of the most blatant jawboning efforts during the Covid period. The consent decree further protects only the plaintiffs in the case, that is, the states and individuals who sued the government. (In a bit of poetic justice, two of the plaintiffs, Jay Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorff, withdrew from the case after accepting senior posts in the Trump administration.)
The Missouri v. Biden plaintiffs are not the only litigants who have prevailed in challenges to Biden-era free speech violations. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/state-dept-reaches-censorship-settlement-with-daily-wire">reported</a>, this week, a federal judge issued a consent decree in a challenge to the Biden-era State Department’s practice of partnering with outside organizations to label various outlets — including this one and the Federalist — as disinformation. The State Department agreed that it would no longer engage in efforts to suppress, censor, demonetize, or downgrade the constitutionally protected speech of Americans and domestic news outlets. 
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/state-dept-reaches-censorship-settlement-with-daily-wire?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=7&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Daily+Wire+Wins+Landmark+Free+Speech+Victory+In+Censorship+Lawsuit+Against+State+Department"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1070109 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/dw_vs._state_dept_16x9_720.png" alt="" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/dw_vs._state_dept_16x9_720.png 720w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/dw_vs._state_dept_16x9_720-300x169.png 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></a>
While these consent decrees are real victories for the plaintiffs who had the courage to take on the federal government in court, they will not stop a future administration from engaging in similar tactics that we saw during Covid, in the wake of the 2020 election, and throughout the Biden Administration. Americans as a whole deserve the robust protections the Missouri v. Biden plaintiffs earned in that litigation. 
Congressional action of any sort is admittedly a difficult feat. But there are few bedrock principles more important than those embodied in the First Amendment. If Congress wants to protect Americans’ free speech rights, the proposed consent decree in Missouri v. Biden is a useful roadmap. All federal agencies and officials, not just the select handful named in the proposed consent decree, should be prohibited from trying to control speech by telling social media companies what content is and is not allowed. And all Americans should be able to speak on social media with the assurance that the government cannot tell social media platforms to silence them.
The plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden and their attorneys should be praised for bringing a landmark lawsuit in the face of tremendous government overreach and achieving a real victory in the process. Congress should follow suit by extending those protections to everyone else.

Daily Wire Partners With America250 To Celebrate Momentous Anniversary

America 250

Michael Knowles’ new high-energy show “Bar Fight” is going live from downtown Nashville on Wednesday night, with the Daily Wire host facing off against Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw and liberal political commentator Luke Beasley.
Knowles, Crenshaw, and Beasley are set to debate President Donald Trump’s ongoing military operation against Iran, breaking down an increasingly contentious debate in front of a rowdy Nashville audience. And the debate comes just one day after Crenshaw, who has served in Congress since 2019, lost his primary election in Texas’ 2nd district.
Wednesday night’s heavyweight debate marks the first time “Bar Fight” will stream live. It will only be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/bar-fight">available on DailyWire+</a>.
The three “Bar Fight” participants will also face questions from Daily Wire members and the live Music City audience. The live edition of “Bar Fight” is slightly different from normal programming as past episodes typically feature Knowles facing off against two liberals. Will the audience see Knowles and Crenshaw team up to take down Beasley’s arguments or is there also a divide between the two conservatives?
Crenshaw, a retired Navy SEAL, has supported Trump’s strikes on Iran, while Beasley, who hosts his own political podcast, has called the president’s action “an unconstitutional initiation of a war.”
The Iran conflict, like nearly every political issue, has divided Republicans and Democrats, but the American public is mostly supportive of Trump’s actions so far, according to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/majority-of-voters-back-trumps-operation-epic-fury-view-iran-as-threat-to-global-peace?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=12&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Majority+Of+Voters+Back+Trump%E2%80%99s+%E2%80%98Operation+Epic+Fury%2C%E2%80%99+View+Iran+As+%E2%80%98Threat+To+Global+Peace%E2%80%99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> released by OnMessage on Tuesday. The poll shows that 56% of likely voters support the United States taking out Iranian leadership, while 63% agree with targeting Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile sites. Nearly 70% of respondents, meanwhile, agree with the Trump administration’s argument that Iran is a “threat to global peace and democracy,” and 76% agree that “if Iran built a nuclear weapon, [it] would pose a direct threat to the United States.”

State of the Union

Washington D.C.

In the past few months, The Daily Wire has promised members more shows, more entertainment, and more exclusive content — and we are delivering.
In January alone, The Daily Wire released over 250 pieces of content, and this month promises to be even bigger. And tonight, more huge content is coming to DailyWire+ with the premiere of Season 2 of “Ben After Dark.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/ben-after-dark" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben After Dark — Season Two</a>
You already know debate Ben. You know professor Ben. Now meet after hours Ben. The intellectual who explains the headlines all week is back to burn them down. Ben After Dark is what happens when Ben stops taking the week’s news seriously and gives it the unhinged treatment it deserves. Not everyone will love it. That’s kind of the point. Late night just met its match, and it’s filled with naughty words and wearing a yarmulke.
The combination of Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day weekend was the only sign we needed to launch season two of Ben After Dark. Ben returns with his trusty sidekick Savy and releases the rage with Ben Destroys, unsolicited recommendations from Clay Travis, and it wouldn’t be Valentine’s without a visit from Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/ben-after-dark" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch tonight</a> at 6:00 p.m. ET, only on DailyWire+.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-pendragon-cycle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pendragon Cycle</a>
The reviews are in, and “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-pendragon-cycle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin</a>” is a huge hit. The 7-part epic fantasy is in full swing, with the first five episodes available to stream right now on DailyWire+. In “The Pendragon Cycle,” Merlin emerges not as the wizard we remember from typical Arthurian retellings that lean on medieval imagery and rote chivalry, but as a complex prophetic figure caught in a world of spiritual warfare, political chaos, and the dawn of Western civilization.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/real-history-with-matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real History with Matt Walsh</a>
On January 18, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh released the first episode of his highly anticipated series “Real History.” The first episode, which dove into “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/rhs-260118?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Real History of Slavery</a>,” showed that what you were taught in high school and college history courses wasn’t the whole story.
Walsh’s new show is challenging, questioning, and reexamining the decades of propaganda you’ve been force fed. Episode II, “The Real History of the American Indians,” premieres on February 23.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/dwn-260212?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=More+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finding Nancy Guthrie </a>
The Daily Wire’s first true crime podcast features reporter Lynden Blake diving into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, and “Finding Nancy Guthrie” is already a top-20 true crime podcast.
As the deadline to save Nancy Guthrie passes, questions arise — Is the 84-year-old’s disappearance truly a kidnapping or something more sinister? Are the carefully crafted ransom notes part of a larger deception? And troubling new developments as key family members seemingly vanish from view.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/hosts/matt-fradd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pints Last Call</a>
Daily Wire’s newest host, Matt Fradd, has a brand new show on DailyWire+, “Pints Last Call.” In the latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/plc-260212-sub?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=Recent+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a>, Fradd sat down with Brian Holdsworth to discuss the Catholic Church’s teachings on fasting and how to strike the balance between challenging yourself this Lent without overcommitting.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/hosts/matt-fradd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New episodes</a> of “Pints Last Call” drop every Thursday night.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/bar-fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bar Fight with Michael Knowles</a>
Sit back and watch a different kind of fight night on Saturday with “Bar Fight,” as Daily Wire host Michael Knowles goes head-to-head with challengers from across the aisle in a no-holds-barred, high-energy debate show. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bfs-260207-sub?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest episode</a> of “Bar Fight” featured Knowles facing off with viral liberal commentators Harry Sisson and Chris Mowrey.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/friendly-fire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friendly Fire </a>
The show that brings our hosts together and tears them apart is dropping multiple episodes each month. “Friendly Fire” features Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan shooting from the hip. No moderator. No safe words.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ffs-260211-sub?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest episode</a> of “Friendly Fire” dropped this week, with the guys trying to understand Bad Bunny and bad culture.
Even More News Coverage
The Daily Wire’s news team is going full throttle, chasing leads, breaking stories, and dragging facts into the light before the spin machine can dress them up like something they are not. Last month, while the news team kept you updated on Trump’s moves in Venezuela, our White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWNuS0tRVbY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke down</a> how Trump captured Nicolás Maduro in 88 minutes. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jennie Taer also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/dwn-260120">rode along with ICE agents</a> in Minneapolis last month, and reporter Brecca Stoll was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-i-saw-in-minneapolis">on the ground in Minnesota</a>, covering the protests and interviewing demonstrators.
In February, The Daily Wire has kept you in the know on important news, such as the continued ICE operations in Minneapolis and the uprising in Iran. The Daily Wire will also be live from Washington, D.C., for President Trump’s State of the Union address on February 24.

An Exciting New Chapter For Crain & Company

College sports

Crain and Company

School choice advocate Erika Donalds said that students will be better off when parents have better access to what their kids are learning and when schools are held accountable for veering away from what should be taught.
Donalds, the wife of Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL), sat down with The Daily Wire&#8217;s Tim Rice and Mary Margaret Olohan for an interview at Turning Point USA&#8217;s 2025 AmFest, the first one held without the group&#8217;s late founder, Charlie Kirk.
Donalds began by saying that she was excited to see so many people of all ages attending breakout sessions at the conference that were devoted to reforming education — and how fixing what was wrong with education in the United States played into saving the republic as well.
&#8220;President Trump is doing exactly what he promised the American people,&#8221; Donalds said of President Donald Trump&#8217;s plan to first dismantle the Department of Education as a federal entity and then return power to the schools and the states. &#8220;He&#8217;s going to return that power not just to the states, but expand school choice and give power to the parents to make decisions on behalf of their children.&#8221;
Donalds praised Education Secretary Linda McMahon, saying that she had been instrumental in delivering on Trump&#8217;s promises.
The conversation turned to charter schools — several of which Donalds has had a hand in founding — and she said that they can serve as valuable school choice options, especially in areas where private schools are too expensive or otherwise inaccessible. She said that even with advances in school choice, she saw a major role for charter schools to partner with Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and to offer more &#8220;modular style&#8221; classes.
In her home state, Donalds noted, charter schools were already adapting to the changing educational landscape by offering &#8220;individual courses and extracurricular activities that families can access using their ESA dollars.&#8221;
Responding to a question from Olohan, who noted she was homeschooled for a time herself, Donalds said that the number of families homeschooling in the United States was higher than it had ever been — and that even more families indicated that they&#8217;d like to homeschool if they could. Donald made it clear that one of her goals was to help families remove as many of the barriers preventing potential homeschoolers from moving forward as possible.
Rice then raised the issue of artificial intelligence — and how the knee-jerk reaction is often to keep AI out of schools because students will obviously use it to cheat — but Donalds argued that she believed there was certainly room for AI in education.
There should certainly be guard rails in place, Donalds argued, but AI could be used to find gaps in education and help children to succeed who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
&#8220;We need guardrails and we need parents to have visibility into what&#8217;s going on in the AI used in their classrooms,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Once those guardrails are in place, I believe AI can absolutely help with the abysmal academic results in this country.&#8221;
She went on to explain that AI could help a child struggling with reading by identifying the particular concept that was causing the hang-up and tailoring a curriculum to the child&#8217;s needs. The same could be done with other subjects, she said, giving the example of a child having difficulty with algebra and saying that AI could identify where they were going wrong — even if it was a skill they should have picked up in elementary school.
The remainder of the interview focused on ideological and cultural issues seeping into the education system and how expanding parental rights and access to resources and curriculum were the best guard against that.
&#8220;We want to make sure that when students are graduating 12th grade that they are civically literate,&#8221; Donalds said, arguing that if America&#8217;s young people did not understand how the founders had built the country or why the government had been set up the way that it had, they would be unable to defend it in the future.

Here Are 5 Things You Should Watch While You’re At Home For The Holidays

Am I Racist

Jordan Peterson

What Is A Woman

WASHINGTON—Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak will testify before the United States Senate Wednesday afternoon on a federal DEI program riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse.
Rosiak will address lawmakers during a Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee hearing titled &#8220;Running Government Like a Small Business: Cut Waste, Crush Fraud.&#8221; He will speak on the 8(a) program, one of the largest and oldest DEI initiatives in the country, which affects contracts at almost all federal agencies. Rosiak has led the charge in exposing problems with 8(a), which sets aside government contracts for firms run by members of certain &#8220;disadvantaged&#8221; classes, largely racial and ethnic minorities.
The hearing will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET. and will be streamed live on The Daily Wire.
Rosiak, who last month won the<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wires-luke-rosiak-wins-investigative-journalism-award-for-best-doge-reporting" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2025 Dao Prize</a> for his work covering extraordinary government waste, has exposed countless<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/core-part-of-minority-contracting-program-is-illegal-judge-said?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=The+Core+Part+Of+This+Federal+Race-Based+Contracting+Program+Is+Illegal%2C+Judge+Says" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 8(a) program abuses.</a> The Department of Justice found that the 8(a) program had been exploited to carry out a<a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/usaid-official-and-three-corporate-executives-plead-guilty-decade-long-bribery-scheme" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> $550 million bribery scheme</a> over several decades. The program became vulnerable to abuse through &#8220;pass-through&#8221; fraud, in which minority-owned businesses would win a federal contract through a no-bid process, collect a cut of the funds, and then subcontract another company to do the actual work needed for the contract.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler are investigating the misuse, which independent journalist James O&#8217;Keefe describes as a potential <a href="https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1980344367014429114" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100 billion scandal</a>.
The upcoming hearing aims to highlight the full extent of the waste, fraud, and abuse that investigators say took place. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), who chairs the small business committee, recently introduced the<a href="https://www.ernst.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ernst-introduces-bill-to-halt-fraud-filled-sba-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Stop 8(a) Contracting Fraud Act</a> to place a hold on all new no-bid federal contracts until the 8(a) program, dramatically expanded under President Joe Biden as part of a DEI initiative, undergoes a full audit.
While Rosiak will focus on fraud within the 8(a) program, two other witnesses will address additional areas of waste, including misuse of COVID funds and USAID grants: Open the Books CEO John Hart, and Courtney LaFountain, Acting Director of the Government Accountability Office.
“If a small business treated their finances like the government treats tax dollars, they would go out of business,” Ernst said. “This has always been an issue in Washington, but under Joe Biden it became an all-you-can-eat buffet of waste, fraud, and abuse with criminals and con artists cashing in while hardworking Americans were left out in the cold. I look forward to hearing from our expert witnesses on where Congress should focus our continued efforts to downsize the bloated bureaucracy, increase government efficiency, and best serve small businesses.”

When America developed the atomic bomb that would eventually bring an end to World War II, a secret city in Tennessee was vital for the uranium enrichment that powered the Manhattan Project. Now, that once-secret city is the hub of a new arms race, and The Daily Wire got an exclusive, inside look.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/manhattan-project-2">Manhattan Project 2.0</a> follows Daily Wire senior reporter Cabot Phillips as he heads to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which has been reborn as the front line of a global competition against China that the United States cannot afford to lose. Inside the halls of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, President Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright delivers an unmistakable warning: If America throttles its own energy supply and innovation, China will seize the lead in artificial intelligence.
&#8220;AI has been around for a long time, but it&#8217;s hitting critical mass now. In the next few years, AI is going to change our world, not just economically, but in science and also in national defense,&#8221; Wright says. &#8220;China is working aggressively in AI. If they get a meaningful lead on us on AI, it will be a different world in the future.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/manhattan-project-2">WATCH: Manhattan Project 2.0 On DailyWire+</a>
To understand what’s at stake, Phillips was given rare access to Frontier, the world&#8217;s leading supercomputer driving a modern scientific sprint toward the future. Here, America’s top researchers, led by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, use AI to accelerate nuclear fusion breakthroughs, model entire reactor cores before they’re built, design next-generation aircraft engines, and rebuild America’s manufacturing edge atom by atom. Frontier isn’t just running calculations, it is collapsing years of research into days, giving the United States a chance to outpace China’s rapidly expanding digital warfare capabilities.
But the story doesn’t end with the future. Phillips was escorted into the X-10 Graphite Reactor, a sealed historic site where workers once loaded uranium into a massive graphite cube without knowing they were launching the nuclear age. Standing before the original channels and concrete shielding, he learns how that dangerous experiment birthed nuclear engineering itself and paved the way for the Navy’s first nuclear submarines — proof that breakthroughs at Oak Ridge have shifted global power before.
The Manhattan Project 2.0 reveals a nation at another historic crossroads, where nuclear energy, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence converge into a single generational test. It asks whether America will once again accept the risk and responsibility of leading the world into a new age of power, or watch China define that future instead.
