The Big Beautiful Bill moved one step closer to passage this weekend as Republican lawmakers push the president's signature legislation to the finish line. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the latest from Washington.

Hey, Cabot. So the Big Beautiful Bill, things are looking good for it in the Senate. What's the latest? Yes, they are. And a lot of people are excited for it to pass. If for no other reason, they won't have to keep saying Big Beautiful Bill. It is a mouthful. Now, no one doubts that it's big, whether it's beautiful, though, depends on which side you're on.

Remember, this legislation includes the bulk of President Trump's agenda. Among other things, it'll make the 2017 tax cuts permanent, eliminate taxes on most tips, overtime pay and social security payouts, increase funding for border security, remove millions of illegal immigrants from federal benefits. The list goes on. It's a lot. Now, the House passed their version of the bill back in May, but the Senate has been debating it ever since, and it has been highly contentious with serious fractures. There were a few moderate and hard-like conservatives holding out up until this weekend.

debating things like Medicaid cuts and deficit spending. But after a number of tweaks and amendments, it passed a major procedural hurdle on Saturday night when the chamber voted 5149 to advance the bill to the floor for final debates. So what comes next? So GOP leaders say the goal is to hold a final vote as early as today, actually, but Democrats are doing everything in their power to stall the process. For example, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer used an obscure Senate rule

to force clerks on the floor to read the entire 940, page bill out loud. Word for word. That delayed proceedings by about 15 hours. GOP leaders say Democrats can only stall for so long. They are confident this thing will pass, at which point it will return to the House for a final vote there, and then on to the president's desk. Trump said he's aiming for a July 4th signing. Here he is speaking on Sunday about what's at stake. It's very important. If we don't have it, there's a 68% tax increase. All right, so as Congress is debating Trump's budget, he's also have been working on a deal with China. We're hearing more details about that. Tell us about it. Yeah, for context, as the trade war between China and the U.S. heated up earlier this year,

Beijing responded by cutting off the exports of several rare earth minerals that are crucial in everything from electronics to automotives. While the White House has raced to open up mines of rare earth minerals here in the U.S., that it's going to take time. The reality is it wasn't going to happen soon enough. And China accounts for about 70% of all rare earth mineral exports on Earth. So they had a lot of leverage and they could have dealt a serious blow to our economy. But over the weekend, the Trump administration announced that the deal had been reached with Beijing that will allow those critical minerals to once again be exported to the U.S. In exchange, Washington will ease a number of tariffs and other restrictions on China's economy. That deal was certainly music to the years of investors and signaled

the potential for movement on a broader trade deal with China. To that point, Wall Street continued to its hot streak with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ rising to near record highs and the Dow up nearly 4% in the last week alone.

The Supreme Court ended its term with a series of landmark rulings, including a precedent-setting case on judicial overreach. Here to discuss is Daily Wire Deputy Managing editor Tim, Rise, A. Tim. So a massive ruling came down in this final flurry of rulings on Friday. And it's considered a big win for the president. This is Trump v.

Casa. First, what was the focus of this case? Yeah, good morning, John. So this has ramifications that are rather sweeping. The case is nominally about Trump's executive order eliminating birthright citizenship. That's the idea that anyone born in this country is automatically an American citizen. It argues that the 14th Amendment has always excluded those who were born in the United States, but not subject to the jurisdiction thereof. In other words, someone born to an illegal immigrant is not automatically a citizen of the United States. the so-called anchor babies. That triggered something we've seen again and again this year, a series of injunctions by lower courts blocking the implementation of Trump's order through what are

called universal injunctions. Those block the president's order across the entire country rather than in the narrow implementation of the people who actually brought the suit. The court ruled six to three on Friday that while these lower courts can issue injunctions, in most cases they cannot issue universal ones. Like we said at the top, it's a landmark ruling that marks a major shift in how executive actions can be challenged going forward. And as we've documented on this show, Trump has been the most aggressive president ever in how he's used executive orders, 142 in his first 100 days alone. That's a record.

So the Trump administration is unsurprisingly quite happy the court has really crippled these universal injunctions. Here's President Trump on Friday. This is such a big day. This is such a big day. This is a very big moment. And it gives power back to. people that should have it, including Congress, including the presidency, and it only takes bad power

away from judges. So what was the majority argument in this case? So this was written by Justice Amy Coney-Barrant, and she argues that these universal injunctions, and I'm quoting here, likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts. We talked to Carrie Severino, the president of the Judicial Crisis Network and co-author of Justice on trial, and she laid out the majority argument. Yeah, so Justice Barrett in her decision really did a masterful job of showing the history.

And you can really see she clerked for Justice Scalia. He's her mentor. It was an originalist historically based opinion through and through. She looked way back to English common law and said, what are the authorities of a judge that we thought we were giving to judges in the Judiciary Act of 1789? And it's very clear this was never understood to be part of the judicial authority. And in fact, wasn't ever part of the judicial authority until the 1960s. So this is something that's very new in history. And again, almost all of the historical examples of all time of this kind of thing happening

have just been over the last few presidencies. And the vast, vast majority have been specifically under President Trump. That doesn't read like it's an actual judicial thing. It reads like this is more an example of judges who are letting their politics get in the way of what their actual judicial role is, which is deciding cases about the parties in front of them. She also highlighted how Justice Barrett took aim at progressive justice Katanji Brown Jackson's dissent. Her opinion was really just full of rhetoric about how could a court ever allow anyone to do anything that's contrary to the Constitution? And it just missed the whole concept of limited powers.

And so that was one of Justice Barrett's comebacks on that is, look, you may be not believe in an imperial executive, but you believe in an imperial judiciary that any time just roving around, you see anything that looks wrong. You've got to smack it down. It doesn't matter if they're before you. It doesn't matter anything else. Just do justice. That's not how a government of limited powers works. Along with the court's 6 to 3 ruling in favor of parental rights on Friday, the Trump administration has been celebrating a very successful Supreme Court term for its agenda.

Indeed, particularly on that universal injunction ruling, which gives the president the ability to start implementing more of that agenda. Tim, thanks for joining us. You bet. On this last day of June, we take a look back. at the month, which the White House renamed Title IX Month, honoring the civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in schools. The change is meant to highlight the administration's priority on protecting women's sports and spaces. Daily Wire investigative reporter,

Marade Allorty, is here to talk about how public opinion has shifted drastically on Title IX issues over the past few years. So, Marade, what changes have we seen? Hi, Georgia. Well, first, we should note that we now have a president, President Trump, who declared June Title IX month rather than recognizing Pride Month. As a reminder, the Biden administration did a radical rewrite of Title IX to include transgender issues which Trump reversed. He barred males in women's sports at schools, and he prohibited schools from allowing kids to use the bathrooms of the opposite gender. So that's a huge shift right off the bat. One of the biggest wins on Title IX was the NCAA changing its transgender athlete policy

to only allow biological females in women's sports. And one really powerful example, of how the public's attitude has changed. Earlier this month, Simone Biles, the Olympic gymnast, got into an altercation online with Riley Gaines. She's the college swimmer who was forced to give up her trophy to trans-identifying male Leah Thomas. Biles attacked Gaines over her work trying to keep men out of women's sports, and she even insulted Gaines telling her she looked like a man. This did not work out for Biles.

She faced a tremendous amount of backlash, and she ultimately apologized to Gaines before deleting her ex-account altogether. Now, a recent flashpoint in the Title IX debate has been in liberal California, which recently joined Maine in defying the federal guidance on girls' sports. So what's the latest in California? Right. Well, just on Wednesday, the Department of Education said it found California is violating Title IX by allowing males and girls' sports. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said California has 10 days to fix its violations. Well, they run the risk of losing their federal funding in their K-12 schools. And that's where these, in fact,

who are committed. We talked to Sonia Shaw. She's school board president in the Chino Valley United School District in California. Shaw made headlines in 2023 when she went head to head with California's Attorney General

over her district's new policy requiring schools to inform parents when their child says they're transgender. In March, Shaw also went viral for ripping up a cease and desist letter from a boy's mother who was upset. Shaw spoke out about her son competing against girls in track.

So this cease and desist, that's what I feel about that. cease and desist. Shaw believes parents are on her side. I've been a big advocate for protecting girls in their sports. My daughters are female athletes, you know. And so to me, even as a mother prior, when Biden was trying to pervert Title IX and, you know, allow gender expression as, you know, being protected under Title IX,

that's when I started taking a stand when I saw that. These are policies that I would say 80% of Californians believe in, but I would also go further to say 90% of parents believe in, right? So at the end of the day, I thought, you know what, we need to bring all this forward as a state. We need to stop allowing this insanity at the driver's seat and turn the ship around. Advocates for women's sports in California did get a small win

when the state changed its rules for the high school track and field championship to allow an extra girl to compete in events that include a trans-identifying male competitor. Now, before California, Maine's governor, Janet Mills, was sparring with Trump over girls' sports, But recently she's gotten some backlash from her constituents. What's happening in Maine? That's right.

This week, Governor Janet Mills was booed by her own Maine residents when she spoke at the annual Maine Moose lottery. At one point, someone yelled, we have daughters. So this is just another sign of how public opinion has shifted across the country on Title IX issues, even in some of these blue states like Maine and California. Well, it'll be interesting to see if California makes more concessions to conservatives on this issue. That would really show the tide is turn. Maread, thanks for reporting. Thanks, Georgia.
