President Trump holds a cabinet meeting at the White House as tensions with Iran reach
a boiling point.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard resigns and few would argue with her reason.
The White House administration closes a major loophole that's been fueling illegal immigration
for years.
And 1,500 strangers show up to the funeral of a 98-year-old World War II vet.
We'll get into all that and your Quick Hits now.
What's up guys?
Welcome back to The Wrap-Up where we break down the biggest stories of the week that
First up, amid ongoing tensions with Iran, President Trump convened his 12th cabinet
meeting this week, originally planned for Camp David but moved back to the White House
due to weather.
The Daily Signal reported that Trump made it clear he won't accept any partial deal
and that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, full stop.
Trump also made a striking claim that U.S. actions have effectively produced a double
One regime is gone, another regime is gone, we're dealing with the third.
Trump's also pushing more Arab nations to join the Abraham Accords as part of any broader
agreement, hinting that if they don't, any Iran deal could die on the vine.
Rubio gave updates on Venezuela and Cuba.
In Venezuela, more than 10 million barrels of oil have been delivered to the U.S. since
January.
For the first time, Rubio said, the money is actually going to the Venezuelan people.
As for Cuba, Rubio didn't mince words.
Cuba's in a lot of trouble because unfortunately for them, it's run by a bunch of incompetent
communists and being communist is bad, being an incompetent communist is like the worst.
Up next, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation last
week and few would argue with her reason.
In a letter to President Trump dated May 22nd, Gabbard revealed that her husband, Abraham,
has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.
She's stepping down effective June 30th to be by his side.
Gabbard wrote, quote, I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue
in this demanding and time-consuming position.
She described Abraham as her rock through 11 years of marriage, through deployment to
East Africa, multiple political campaigns, and 18 months leading the entire U.S. intelligence
community.
Gabbard closed her letter with the words, with love and aloha.
Trump responded on Truth Social praising her tenure and saying he has no doubt Abraham
will soon be better than ever.
Principal Deputy Director Aaron Lucas will serve as acting DNI in the interim.
A permanent replacement has not yet been named.
In our next story, the Trump administration just closed a major loophole that has been
quietly fueling illegal immigration for years.
And the fix is pretty simple.
Under a new rule from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, any foreigner in the
U.S. on a temporary visa who wants a green card must now return to their home country
to apply for one.
That's it.
Go home.
Apply through the proper channels, then come back legally.
Before this rule, those same people could just stay and apply from inside the country.
And when they got denied, many of them slipped into the shadows and became yet another illegal
immigration statistic that federal agents had to track down and deport.
USCIS spokesman Zach Kaler put it plainly.
The law was written this way for a reason.
And despite the fact that it has been ignored for years, following it will help make our
system fairer and more efficient.
As they say, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
And for our final story, when World War II Navy veteran John Bernard Arnold III died
in Massachusetts on May 6th at age 98, he had no living relatives.
So Hanover Hanson Veterans Services posted a simple message on Facebook.
This veteran passed away with no known family to attend his services.
Let's send him off the way a veteran should be.
The response was extraordinary and heartwarming.
Roughly 1,500 strangers showed up.
Veterans in uniform, people clutching American flags, Gold Star families, active duty service
members, they all lined the streets of Hanson to make sure John Arnold did not go alone.
His flag-draped coffin was followed by a police motorcade to Cedar Knoll Cemetery, where bag
pipes played and veterans saluted.
Caregivers remembered him as someone who lit up every room, a man who loved classical music,
chocolate cake, and making people laugh.
He served aboard the USS Houston and visited 27 countries during his time in the Navy.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Arnold.
We will never forget.
And now it's time for Quick Hits.
Beloved NASCAR driver Kyle Busch has died at 41.
His family confirmed the cause of death was severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis.
He is survived by his wife, Samantha, and their two kids.
NASCAR Nation lost a legend.
Over 50,000 residents in Garden Grove, California spent their Memorial Day weekend under mandatory
evacuation after a storage tank full of toxic chemicals threatened to explode in their neighborhood.
Thankfully, the disaster was averted and the people have been allowed back in their homes.
A woman in Long Island has been arrested after allegedly beheading a sacred heart of Jesus
statue outside St. Mary's Catholic Church in East Islip, New York.
The statue may have lost its head, but clearly this woman has lost her mind.
A company called Higgsfield AI just screened what's being called the first fully AI-generated
feature film, a 95-minute action fantasy.
Hollywood elites can complain in open letters all they want, but it looks like AI is here to stay.
On Memorial Day earlier this week, President Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
Joined by Vice President Vance and Secretary Hegseth, Trump told Gold Star families their
loved ones will never be forgotten.
And they surely won't.
Happy Memorial Day, everyone.
That's a wrap for this week.
