spk_0 It's going to be lost if you don't do it.

spk_0 We have no choice but to do this.

spk_0 And the president joins Republicans in calling for Democratic Attorney General nominee J. Jones

spk_0 to exit the Virginia race after his violent text messages were revealed.

spk_0 We had Charlie Kirk assassinated and so many folks celebrated in the far left.

spk_0 And now J. Jones comes out and says that he was two bullets for Todd Gilbert's head and

spk_0 wants to see his children die.

spk_0 Israel's two year war in Gaza may be coming to an end after a U.S. backed peace proposal

spk_0 one widespread backing across the Middle East here to talk about the Middle East on the second

spk_0 anniversary of the October 7th attack on Israel is daily wire reporter Tim Pierce.

spk_0 So Tim, let's talk about the latest with the hostage negotiations.

spk_0 Where do things stand now?

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Negotiators are meeting in Egypt as we speak to hammer out the details of the peace framework

spk_0 presented by President Trump already there are splits.

spk_0 So there's no certainty that the negotiations will get past the initial stage.

spk_0 Hamas has agreed to release all of the hostages, but it hasn't agreed to the three-day timeline.

spk_0 Nor has it agreed to demilitarize nor swear off any future involvement in Gaza's governance.

spk_0 But the president is optimistic.

spk_0 He's treated just to Hamas's willingness to have a conversation as a win.

spk_0 Now today is two years since the October 7th attacks and a lot has transpired in the region

spk_0 just in that time. Where do things stand for Israel now as compared to 2023?

spk_0 Yeah, a lot has changed in the past two years.

spk_0 Back in 2023, Saudi Arabia was close to joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations

spk_0 with Israel to Mass that would have been a disaster. It needs Israel isolated.

spk_0 At the same time, Israel was roiled by judicial reform.

spk_0 There were massive protests in the streets.

spk_0 Israeli society seemed to be tearing itself apart.

spk_0 Hamas sensed weakness and it needed to break up Arab-Israeli relations.

spk_0 It attacked.

spk_0 As an Iranian proxy group, it received help from Iran and its massive network of terror groups.

spk_0 Tehran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

spk_0 And prior to October 7th, it had used its web of terror groups to surround Israel.

spk_0 But now as of 2025, that web has serious holes.

spk_0 Two years after October 7th, Israel isn't a much stronger position in the Middle East.

spk_0 Prime Minister Benjamin Nanyahu actually talked about that in an interview with

spk_0 Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro yesterday. Here's what he said.

spk_0 Two years later, we've smashed the Iran Axis.

spk_0 Most of its proxies, Hamas, not finished yet, or we'll get there.

spk_0 Hisbalah, Syria, is gone.

spk_0 Smashed also Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile program.

spk_0 Still there, but it rolled it really back with President Trump's help.

spk_0 And the Houthis who are threatening the entire world and maritime shipping.

spk_0 So Israel emerged from this horrible day as the strongest part of the Middle East.

spk_0 Now, as much progress, though, as Israel has made with their security in the Middle East,

spk_0 we've still seen an eruption of anti-Semitism and general sentiment,

spk_0 anti-Israel sentiment across the West at large.

spk_0 What can you tell us about those trends?

spk_0 Yes, support for Israel is fading in the West. Canada, the UK, and France recently

spk_0 recognized the non-existent state of Palestine. Trump has called that a reward for terrorism.

spk_0 And polling in the United States suggests some bad trends for Israel as well.

spk_0 According to a Washington Post poll conducted at last month,

spk_0 support for Israel among American Jews has taken hits.

spk_0 The number of them who say the US supports Israel too much has grown to 32 percent,

spk_0 a 10-point increase since 2020 and a 21-point increase since 2013.

spk_0 This trend is probably best seen politically in what has happened to the Democratic Party.

spk_0 Where the Palestinian cause has become somewhat of a litmus test among progressives.

spk_0 Yesterday, Nanyahu talked a bit about American support for Israel and made his case

spk_0 by the relationship is still important. Here's some of that.

spk_0 But the other thing is the technology. You know,

spk_0 iron dome is well developed, shared with America.

spk_0 Errol missiles, they shoot these missiles from the sky,

spk_0 way, way up in altitude, developed by Israel,

spk_0 co-shared with America. What about offensive weapons?

spk_0 Well, I can tell we shared it with America, but I can't share it with you.

spk_0 Okay. The most advanced offensive weapons on the planet,

spk_0 things that none of the superpowers have developed by Israel, shared with America.

spk_0 So the trend in the United States is moving against Israel,

spk_0 which is something the US state has to be concerned about considering how much support it receives

spk_0 from Washington. Well, it's definitely a trend I've seen both on the left and on the right.

spk_0 Tim, thanks for reporting. Thanks for having me.

spk_0 You know, I'm the kind of guy who really enjoys cooking. I take pride in what I put on my plate.

spk_0 So when I learned that over four billion pounds of meat were imported into the US last year

spk_0 and can still be labeled like it's from here, I just couldn't get it out of my head.

spk_0 That's what led me to good ranchers. All their meat is 100% American source from right here

spk_0 from local farms and ranches. I can taste it in every bite. Personally, I love to give my

spk_0 good ranchers steak a good dry rub before sauteing it in butter, giving it a great taste.

spk_0 experience. I get $25 off every box, free shipping and they throw in a free gift for life.

spk_0 Violent assaults against federal immigration authorities continue in Illinois,

spk_0 prompting the Trump administration to send hundreds of Texas National Guard troops to Chicago.

spk_0 Daily wire immigration reporter Jenny Tehr is here with the latest.

spk_0 So Jenny, I know some of this is in legal limbo right now, but tell us about this latest deployment

spk_0 and how leaders in the sanctuary state of Illinois are responding.

spk_0 Right. So right now, like you said, legal limbo, there's an active legal fight and a hearing

spk_0 is set for Thursday on this. Now hundreds of troops were deployed yesterday to Chicago from Texas.

spk_0 This is a big move and I spoke to Homeland Security officials and they tell me that they're not

spk_0 going to stop on this. They're not going to let up on the Mastiportation effort amid the

spk_0 ongoing assaults against them and they're also not going to let up on these troop deployments.

spk_0 Across the country, there's a thousand percent increase in assaults on ICE agents.

spk_0 In Chicago in particular, we've seen a number of recent pretty egregious assaults by leftist

spk_0 agitators on the ICE detention center in Broadview, Illinois and then also on ICE agents and

spk_0 border patrol agents who have also been deployed to assist in these efforts across the city,

spk_0 putting these agents and officers at risk. Now, what about the state of Illinois? How are they

spk_0 responding? Right. So the state of Illinois has actually responded with a lawsuit. They say that

spk_0 the effort by the Trump administration to deploy Texas troops is unconstitutional, that it's an invasion

spk_0 of the state. The city's mayor, Chicago, Brandon Johnson, he is calling out the Trump administration

spk_0 as well. And in fact, he's creating these quote, ice free zones where he's saying that ICE and

spk_0 border patrol cannot go in the city. So these are city buildings and he's calling on local

spk_0 businesses to participate as well to essentially shield the illegal immigrant criminals who are

spk_0 roaming the streets. So he's kind of doubling down because you have the sanctuary state, sanctuary

spk_0 city law already in place. And then at the same time, there's more places for illegal immigrant

spk_0 criminals to run and hide in the view of ICE and federal law enforcement sources that I've talked to.

spk_0 Now, just over the weekend, we had that incident in Illinois where several cars

spk_0 rammed into ICE agents. There was an altercation. A woman was shot. There have been some

spk_0 developments in that story since then. What do we now know about what happened that day?

spk_0 Right. So we know that a convoy of vehicles essentially rammed into border patrol agents who

spk_0 were again out there as part of this mass deportation effort. You had two anti-ice

spk_0 annotators who were allegedly orchestrating this. One who was armed, which then led to a border

spk_0 patrol agent who was under assault at the time firing shots at this individual, a US citizen,

spk_0 who's also said to be subject of a law enforcement alert that went out recently about the threats

spk_0 of doxing of agents. So this is all part of these ongoing assaults against these law enforcement

spk_0 officers out there. What also happened during this assault is that the border patrol agents who

spk_0 are on scene were also facing a group of rioters that had a mass following the shootout. And they

spk_0 needed support. They needed reinforcements from the Chicago police department. They called them in.

spk_0 And those officers were actually told to stand down.

spk_0 Were they offending vehicle crash? They ran the federal agent off the road. They fled on foot,

spk_0 westbound 37 to place. So the chief of patrol cleared everybody up. We're out there spawning over there.

spk_0 All right. And 99, just took him from 39th police in Cazvy. They were saying that they were

spk_0 being surrounded by that large crowd. And they were requesting the police were not sending.

spk_0 I'm waving off all the cars heading to 39th police in Cazvy.

spk_0 So very little support for those ICE agents in Chicago. Now tell us where do things stand

spk_0 broadly on the deportation efforts? Right. So the Trump administration's operations and the

spk_0 surrounding areas of Chicago have already yielded a thousand arrests. It started in early September.

spk_0 So we're already seeing a huge success with this. And they're not going to stop. That's what

spk_0 the administration is saying. And that's what my sources on the ground are saying that this

spk_0 continues despite all the backlash despite these lawsuits that are ongoing. And this is also

spk_0 happening amid the shutdown. The government shutdown. These ice-free zones again will only protect

spk_0 and shield illegal immigrant criminals, just as sanctuary cities and states do. This could, in fact,

spk_0 be deemed as harboring illegal immigrant criminals, which could actually be a violation of federal

spk_0 law. Something the Trump administration could use against the city of Chicago.

spk_0 All right. Well, Jenny, thank you so much for reporting. Thank you.

spk_0 A political firestorm is raging in Virginia over text messages that show Democratic Attorney

spk_0 General nominee Jay Jones fantasizing about violence against a GOP colleague, Daily Wire Culture

spk_0 reporter Megan Basham is here now with more. So Megan, just to start, can you walk us through

spk_0 the revelations about Jones texts? What did he actually say? Yeah. So this controversy centers

spk_0 on texts that Jay Jones, who was then a Democratic delegate, sent to Republican delegate,

spk_0 Kerry Coiner in August of 2022. And in them, he fantasized about the murder of then-house speaker

spk_0 Todd Gilbert, a Republican. So here's what Jones said. Three people, two bullets, Gilbert Hitler

spk_0 and Pol Pot, Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler put Gilbert in the crew with the

spk_0 two worst people you know. And he receives both bullets every time. Now, when Coiner asked Jones

spk_0 to stop and suggested that these kinds of remarks were inappropriate, he continued even referencing

spk_0 Gilbert's children. Coiner said at that point, you were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's

spk_0 children would die and Jones didn't deny it. Instead, he said, I told you this before, only when

spk_0 people feel pain personally, do they move on policy? So basically suggesting that violence might be

spk_0 necessary in order to achieve political goals. And then he said, do I think Todd and Jennifer are

spk_0 evil and they're breeding little fascists? Yes. So he also went on to fantasize about attending the

spk_0 funerals of other Republican lawmakers saying he would piss on their graves and send them out a

spk_0 wash in something. So Jones has now apologized. He said that reading back those texts makes him sick

spk_0 to his stomach. But he also says that he's staying in the race. And he placed some of the blame for

spk_0 this becoming a story at all on, quote unquote, Trump controlled media. Very appalling sentiments,

spk_0 definitely. How are people responding? Is this going to ruin his chances? Well, you know, that

spk_0 really depends on where you look on the Republican side. Obviously, there has been universal condemnation

spk_0 and calls for him to leave this race. Lieutenant governor, Winsom Earl Sears, who is also running for

spk_0 governor and Attorney General Jason Miarez, who is Jones's opponent in this race, both say that the

spk_0 texts are disqualifying. President Trump also said that he needs to go and Virginia governor,

spk_0 Glenn Youngkin has called these texts demented. But while some Democrats are condemning the remarks,

spk_0 not a single prominent Democrat has called for Jones to leave this race over his desire, his

spk_0 expressed wishes for Republican officials and even their children to face death. Daily wire

spk_0 spoke to Republican candidate for Virginia's Lieutenant Governor race, John Reed. And he told us

spk_0 not demanding accountability for this kind of violent rhetoric actually encourages further violent acts.

spk_0 Look, I mean, the Democrats have a, have a violence problem. They, they talk about it nonstop. They

spk_0 should show some self-prespring when you see the pattern of Democrat leaders who are constantly

spk_0 kind of banning the planes and then acting like they don't understand why people are taking them

spk_0 up on killing quote unquote noxies and killing fascists or attacking fantasy white supremacists.

spk_0 Now, two reads point just last week, Republican delegate Geary Higgins received a text from a man

spk_0 that said this, I will shoot you at your next public rally, then send you memes with the photos.

spk_0 I know where your effing kids are too. Days earlier, Republican delegate Kim Taylor received a

spk_0 similar message. So really, this is an ongoing problem. Well, Virginia is often considered a

spk_0 bell weather for national mood. So we're going to be watching this very carefully. Megan, thanks

spk_0 for reporting. Yeah, my pleasure. Thanks for waking up with us. And if you're watching on YouTube,
