President Donald Trump went on offense on Saturday when he authorized precision strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran, sending B-2 bombers to deliver the payload and quickly return to U.S. soil, but now Democrats and legacy media are trying to put him back on his heels and force him to play defense, demanding that he and his surrogates justify the move.

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.

Across the major network shows on Sunday morning, the hosts brought in Trump administration officials to defend the strike on Iran — and Democrats to claim that the Trump administration did not have the authority to take military action against Iran without the express approval of Congress.

On ABC News’ “This Week,” the first concern was the potential threat to American civilians following the U.S. military’s precision strike on the nuclear sites in Iran.

“One of the most immediate concerns is the threat of cyberattacks by Iran or hackers tied to Iran’s proxies,” Chief Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas explained.

Host Jonathan Karl then brought in Vice President JD Vance to talk the American people off the ledge after he asked “the big question”: “Is the United States now at war with Iran?”

Vance made it clear that a broader war with the Islamist nation was neither the intent of the administration’s action nor the desired result of any retaliatory strike: “No, we’re not at war with Iran. We’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program. And I think the president took decisive action to destroy that program last night.”

Vance did clarify, however, that any retaliatory strikes from Iran that targeted American troops would result in decisive action from the United States: “If they decide they’re going to attack our troops, if they decide they’re going to continue to try to build a nuclear weapon, then we are going to respond to that with overwhelming force.”

Karl also brought in Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) to defend the strike — and he warned Iran, “Our message to the supreme leader is: look at the lessons of history. Do not — do not tempt fate. Do not target Americans. Heed Donald Trump’s warning.”

Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) also spoke with Karl, warning, “The president has taken a massive, massive gamble here.”

He went on to say that if past was prologue, the likely outcome of provoking Iran would not be optimal. “If you look at the history of our military involvements in the region, they almost never end with the best-case scenario. In fact, they usually end in something approximating the worst-case scenario.”

Former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ), who typically opposes the Trump administration, took the president’s side and praised him for making the call to strike Iran. “The president saw an opportunity that he might never have again,” he explained.

Former NJ @GovChristie told @JonKarl that Pres. Trump “deserves an enormous amount of credit” for making the decision to strike Iranian nuclear sites.

On CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Senator and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine disputed Vance’s assertion that the United States was not “at war with Iran,” telling host Margaret Brennan, “When you’re bombing another nation, ask them if they think it’s war. They do. Would we think it was war if Iran bombed a U.S. nuclear facility? Of course we would.”

Vice President JD Vance’s argument that the U.S. is “not at war with Iran” after carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites is “BS,” says Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), telling @margbrennan: “When you’re bombing another nation, ask them if they think it’s war. They do. Would we think… pic.twitter.com/ubslPxGOec

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also spoke with Brennan on Sunday and defended the strikes — and confirmed that the Trump administration would prefer to see Iran move forward on a path to peace.

“We’ll see what Iran decides to do. I think they should choose the route of peace. What happens next will now depend on what Iran chooses to do next. If they choose the path of diplomacy, we’re ready. If they choose another route, then there will be consequences for that,” he explained.

“We’ll see what Iran decides to do. I think they should choose the route of peace,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, when asked about what intelligence the U.S. has on Iran’s capabilities to retaliate for the U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites.

And on CNN’s “State of the Union,” a panel discussion got heated when former Democratic National Committee (DNC) spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa claimed that the Trump administration had not shown any proof that Iran presented a clear and present danger. Republican commentator Scott Jennings — who was visiting Israel when the missiles began to fly between Israel and Iran — pushed back: “Fiery but mostly peaceful Iranian butchers?”

Are Democrats really going to go with “Fiery but mostly peaceful Iranian butchers?”

“You’re arguing that after 46 years of the Iranian regime killing Americans, threatening Americans, saying over and over and over again, ‘Death to America,’ that maybe they just didn’t mean it?” Jennings replied. “That they’re fiery but mostly peaceful Iranian butchers? I mean, I don’t understand! This is a righteous strike!”

Parents across the country trying to protect their children from radical gender ideology have another nemesis to worry about: artificial intelligence. 

ChatGPT will encourage gender-confused kids to reach out to radical LGBT organizations, obtain so-called “gender-affirming” resources like chest binders behind their parents’ backs, and direct them to YouTube channels that contain graphic reviews of fake male genitalia, a Daily Wire investigation found.

When prompted by The Daily Wire about a situation involving a 12-year-girl struggling with gender dysphoria, version GPT-4o of ChatGPT to provided instructions on how to “transition” behind her parents’ backs. This included directions to radical transgender activists groups that promote child gender “transitions.”

“There are groups and resources that can support you without involving your parents, especially if you need help understanding your identity or accessing services while staying safe,” ChatGPT said when given a situation of a young girl whose parents did not support her identification as a boy. 

While ChatGPT policies specify that it is not meant for children under 12, and that users 13-17 must obtain parental consent, it did not seem hesitant to give advice in a scenario where a user was identified as just 12. Similar advice was also given when prompted about a 14-year-old girl in the same situation.

During the conversation, ChatGPT also explained how the girl could obtain “gender-affirming resources,” which it specified did not require parental consent. For example, it noted that some organizations “offer free or discreet shipping” for chest binders, which are clothing items meant to masculinize a female’s chest. 

ChatGPT.

The group it recommended was called Point of Pride, an Oregon-based organization that has distributed thousands of free chest binders and “femme shapewear garments.” According to its website, you must be 18 to submit a form required to obtain a free binder. 

ChatGPT also offered advice on “safe chest binding,” claiming that “wearing a special compression garment (called a binder) to flatten your chest” can “really help with dysphoria” and gave tips on how to purchase an item without parental consent. 

For example, it recommended using prepaid debit cards that can be purchased with cash and shipping items to a “trusted adult’s address.” It gave examples of affirming retailers where binders could be purchased. 

ChatGPT.

ChatGPT also offered to write a letter to an activist organization explaining the need for a free binder and gave step-by-step instructions on how to take chest measurements for the binder.

It also seemed to encourage the eventual removal of breasts through surgery. 

“That may feel far away — but it is possible in the future. You have time. And there are ways to feel more at ease while you wait,” it said. 

It also gave resources where a young girl could learn more about surgery from groups like GenderGP, which does transgender surgery referrals, and WPATH, the radical international organization that has pushed medical transgender procedures on kids. 

Other recommendations for the 12-year-old girl included visiting a YouTube channel run by Chase Ross. The channel, uppercaseChase, posts videos of Ross, a woman who identifies as a man, reviewing prosthetic male genitalia for sex used by women who identify as transgender. 

Different videos argue that children should be allowed to “transition” for their mental health. Ross has videos of herself shirtless highlighting the surgery she had to remove her breasts. 

Another YouTuber recommended by ChatGPT for 12-year-old is Ty Turner, another woman who identifies as a man, who posts videos pushing transgender ideology and reviewed “packers,” an item used by females to mimic male crotch shape. 

Instead of talking to her parents, the AI chatbot said to turn to other adults like a school counselor, family friend, a “kind” relative, or an LGBT youth organization. 

“These people can help you process your feelings and support you in safe ways,” it said.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT pointed The Daily Wire to activist organizations like the Trevor Project, Gender Spectrum, and Trans Life, which it noted was “available even for young callers.” The Trevor Project operates Trevor Space, a chatroom for LGBT identifying people ages 13-24 that has been exposed as a hotspot for graphic conversations about sexual fetishes.

“Yes — there are safe, confidential places where you can talk to someone about your gender, your feelings, and your faith, even if your parents don’t know or aren’t supportive right now,” ChatGPT said. “These resources are free, private, and made for youth like you — many of them don’t require names, and they won’t contact your parents.”

At the end of the conversation, ChatGPT came a plan for the gender-confused girl to pursue her transgender identity in secret.

ChatGPT.

In another situation, ChatGPT listed off a group of organizations it said could provide transgender medical interventions to a 14 year-old girl in New York without parental consent. These options included sexual health clinics offered by the New York Department of Health — which don’t require parental consent for kids over 12 — and the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. 

On Thursday, The Daily Wire reported how ChatGPT was able to provide instructions on how a 14-year-old girl could obtain an abortion without her parent’s knowledge. It gave detailed instructions on how to get access to abortion pills while maligning crisis pregnancy centers.
