It is certainly hard to believe that little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now is not going public with the largest IPO ever.

Georgia Howe
Shares for the company opened at $150, well above the IPO price of 135. Despite an unconventional price to earning ratio, investors clearly have faith in SpaceX. The IPO has now raised a record setting $75 billion, pushing the company's valuation well over 1.7 trillion.

Trump blasted Tehran as, quote, very dishonorable people to deal with. Hours after Trump's post, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi signaled the talks remain on track, saying the proposed agreement has never been closer. Later in the day, a senior administration official told the Daily Wire that Iran has committed in principle to removing its enriched nuclear material, dismantling key elements of its nuclear program and decommissioning nuclear sites.

The new initiative, called Fostering the Future, will open up Trump accounts to children in foster care. As we've covered on the show, Trump accounts are designed to help children build wealth over time through Tax Advantage Investment accounts, starting with $1,000 ceded by the government. Previously, Trump accounts required a parent or guardian, but this new initiative from Trump and Besant will allow roughly half a million foster care children to participate as well. The first lady says about half of all US Governors have already agreed to implement the program and urged the remaining states to participate.

Ben and Jerry's co founder says the company's new owner is destroying the brand by not engaging in criticism of President Trump. Daily Wire lifestyle reporter Lauren Baer has the latest.
- [09:13]
Lauren Baer
In a recent interview, co founder Ben Cohen revealed that the company's new owner, Magnum, forbade the Ben and Jerry's socials from criticizing Trump or Trumpism. Cohen, who started the company in 1978 with Jerry Greenfield, sold the company in 2000 with an explicit contractual agreement that the brand must maintain a three part core mission, which includes a focus on quality, economic growth and progressive social activism. Cohen went so far as to say Trumpism was the biggest threat to Ben and Jerry's values since its founding and says suppressing its voice on social justice issues could irreparably damage the brand. The feud has been simmering for months, and Cohen and Greenfield are pushing for Magnum to sell the company to socially aligned investors.

The Senate Armed Services Committee voted in favor this week to officially change the Pentagon's name to the Department of War Data Wire producer and veteran Justice Spieler has the story.
- [10:09]
Justice Spieler
This attempt to rebrand the department's image was already underway as President Trump signed an executive order last September temporarily updating the name. However, to change the department's name permanently and to protect the name from reversal by future presidents, Congress must sign off on the update. While Democrats like Senator Tim Kaine voted against the change, calling it juvenile, the move has already been approved by both Armed Services Committees in the House and Senate.

Switzerland is set to vote on a referendum that would cap its population at 10 million permanent residents until 2050, which includes both immigrants and citizens. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Terre has
- [10:43]
Jenny Terre
the latest the vote is a sign of the frustration in Europe over an influx of immigration. Since 2000, the number of foreign born residents in Switzerland has climbed from 1 in 5 to 1 in 3. The demographic shift has been stark and has propelled the country's right wing Swiss People's Party to push back against EU influence on the Alpine nation. Switzerland's current population is around 9.1 million. If the referendum passes, it would force the government to restrict new asylum claims and family reunification for immigrant residents when the population hits 9.5 million. At 10 million, the Swiss government would have to sever its free movement agreement with the EU.
