Speaker 1 Trump moves up Russia's peace deadline. A Michigan man is facing terrorism charges after a Walmart stabbing spree.
And New York mayoral candidate Zoron Momdani throws a lavish wedding celebration.

Speaker 1 I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, July 28th, and this is Evening Wire.

Speaker 2 President Trump has moved up his ultimatum for Vladimir Putin to make peace with Ukraine.

Speaker 2 Trump originally gave Russia 50 days, but during a meeting with the UK's Prime Minister in Scotland, he said he's significantly cutting that down.

Speaker 3 I'm going to make a new deadline of about

Speaker 3 10 or 12 days from today.

Speaker 3 And there's no reason they're waiting.

Speaker 3 There's no reason they're waiting. It's 50 days.
I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made.

Speaker 2 The new deadline comes amid continued Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and growing frustration from Kyiv.

Speaker 2 Before the meeting with Prime Minister Kir Starmer, Trump also said he's not taking a position on Palestinian statehood.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to take a position. I don't mind him taking a position.

Speaker 4 I'm looking for getting people fed right now. To me, that's the number one position because you have a lot of starving people.

Speaker 2 Trump says the U.S. has sent $60 million in aid.
Meanwhile, Israel began airdrops and is working to allow more ways for the UN to get aid into Gaza.

Speaker 1 The Trump administration is boycotting a UN summit on Palestinian statehood. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips says the latest.

Speaker 5 The conference, taking place in New York, was delayed by last month's Israel-Iran conflict and now includes over 50 nations.

Speaker 5 President Trump dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September, saying it, quote, doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 Critics argue the move sidelines negotiations. U.S.
allies like Germany and Italy say recognition is premature, while others like Turkey welcomed it.

Speaker 5 France says statehood is, quote, more threatened and more necessary than ever. The Trump administration calls the French and Saudi-led initiative, quote, a manufactured obstacle to peace.

Speaker 2 A ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia is now in effect after Trump threatened to halt trade talks with both nations if the fighting continued.

Speaker 2 Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice has the details.

Speaker 6 The deadly border conflict erupted last week near a contested temple, killing 36 and displacing hundreds of thousands. The breakthrough came during peace talks in Malaysia, brokered by U.S.

Speaker 6 and Malaysian officials. Here's the president again before his meeting with Starmer.

Speaker 4 That was going to be a very bad war. And so we're honored we got involved.
And it's essentially settled. I think they're going to be settling it today.
So it went for a few days.

Speaker 4 That was going to go on for years. That could have gone on for years.
Millions of people could have been killed. We ended the war, and we're very happy about it.

Speaker 6 Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have pushed both leaders to end hostilities as the U.S. eyes new tariffs set for August 1st.

Speaker 6 China, also pressuring for peace, attended the talks given its deep regional ties. Leaders from both countries pledged to honor the truce.

Speaker 1 CIA boss John Ratcliffe says prosecutions for several Democrats could be coming.

Speaker 1 As Ratcliffe tells Fox News Maria Bartaromo, that includes Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and former CIA chief John Brennan.

Speaker 1 The director confirmed he submitted criminal referrals related to the origins of the Russia investigation and the steel dossier.

Speaker 7 Pam Bandi does have a strike force.

Speaker 7 It is a different Department of Justice, a different FBI, and an opportunity to look at how these people really did conspire to run a hoax, a fraud on the American people and against Donald Trump's presidency.

Speaker 7 And so coming forward, we understand that they did this, but now we need to understand how they did this.

Speaker 1 Ratcliffe insists the push isn't political payback, but an effort to hold people accountable for misleading the American public.

Speaker 2 Police in Cincinnati are investigating a brutal street brawl that went viral over the weekend.

Speaker 2 The shocking video shows a man and woman being violently beaten down by a mob in downtown Saturday night. The woman, who is trying to intervene, was knocked unconscious by a man.

Speaker 2 The attack occurred near the end of the city's annual music festival, but police say it was unrelated. Officials say arrests are imminent and that the footage is now central to the investigation.

Speaker 8 Last year, Instagram launched teen accounts, which default all teens into automatic protections for who can contact them and the content they can see.

Speaker 1 A Michigan man is facing terrorism charges following a mass stabbing at a Walmart. The suspect, a 42-year-old man, is facing 11 counts of attempted murder and possible terrorism charges.

Speaker 1 He was taken into custody within minutes, thanks in part to bystanders who helped subdue him, including at least one Marine veteran. Police say the suspect has a history of assaults and drug offenses.

Speaker 1 According to Munson Healthcare, several victims remain in fair condition, four in serious condition. The FBI is assisting in the investigation.

Speaker 2 The Air Force has temporarily paused the use of a handgun over concerns the weapon can fire uncommanded. 21-year-old Airman Braden Loven was killed in an incident involving a SIG-Sauer M-18 last week.

Speaker 2 prompting the Air Force to pull the gun from several bases.

Speaker 2 The airman's death has reignited concern about the M18, which has been the subject of several lawsuits alleging that the weapon and its civilian counterpart, the P-320, can fire without the trigger being pulled.

Speaker 2 The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, which issue a similar handgun to soldiers, sailors, and Marines, are also apparently reviewing the incident.

Speaker 1 Democratic candidate for New York City Mayor Zoran Mom Dhani threw a luxurious three-day wedding celebration at his parents' property in Uganda this week.

Speaker 1 The party was apparently guarded by private military security and a cell phone jamming system. The extravagant event raised eyebrows due to socialist Mom Dhani's calls to defund the police and

Speaker 1 Mom Dani and his wife, Rama Duwaji, eloped in February and celebrated their wedding this week.

Speaker 2 Project 2025 spearhead Paul Danz will challenge Lindsey Graham for his South Carolina Senate seat.

Speaker 2 In an interview with the Associated Press, Danz declared his intent to run and described the Senate as a choke point and the headwaters of the swamp.

Speaker 2 Dans will formally announce his campaign at an event in Charleston on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 He joins two other Republicans, former Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer and businessman Mark Lynch, in the Republican primary competition against Graham.

Speaker 1 Two Wisconsin teens were killed over the weekend in a drunk driving accident by an illegal immigrant who is protected by local sanctuary policies. The female driver now faces deportation.

Speaker 1 Authorities say the woman drove the wrong way on a highway while intoxicated when she crashed into and killed the two teenagers. The woman had been convicted of drunk driving in 2020.

Speaker 1 She now faces multiple charges, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said sanctuary cities protect criminals.

Speaker 9 The sanctuary jurisdictions just makes it safe for criminal illegal aliens to roam our neighborhoods.

Speaker 9 So ICE is dedicated, we will ensure that this drunk driver who killed two American teenage citizens will not be released back into the community to harm someone again.

Speaker 2 A person in an Elmo costume disrupted an anti-ICE protest. Protesters had gathered at the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon.

Speaker 2 The unidentified person in the Elmo costume lay in front of the entrance to the ICE facility, crawled around, and danced in front of the protesters.

Speaker 2 The anti-ice demonstrators were confused and frustrated.

Speaker 1 Not to be outdone by Elmo, but a Chuck E. Cheese was handcuffed and arrested in Florida.

Speaker 1 A few days ago, a man was working as the mouse mascot when police arrested him on charges of using a stolen credit card.

Speaker 1 Police confronted the suspect while he was not in costume before leaving the store to discuss the situation. When they returned to the store, he was gone, but Chuck E.
Cheese was there.

Speaker 1 Customers watched as officers forcibly removed the suspect from the store in full costume. Police found the victim's credit card and other evidence in his pocket.

Speaker 2 The Department of Government Efficiency is automating deregulation. Daily Wire researcher Michael Whitaker has more.

Speaker 10 The tech wizards at Doge have built an AI to comb through hundreds of thousands of federal rules to identify and eliminate redundant or counterproductive regulations from every federal agency.

Speaker 10 According to the Washington Post, the Doge AI Deregulation Decision Tool has already flagged nearly 100,000 such rules as unnecessary.

Speaker 10 And at the beginning of this month, the department suggested that as much as 50% of all federal regulations could be repealed, which they claim would save the U.S. $1.5 trillion every every year.

Speaker 10 While humans would make the final decisions, staffers have found that the DogeBot has misread or misinterpreted laws on several occasions.

Speaker 10 It's estimated that the tool could reduce the number of man hours needed to repeal various rules by about 93%.

Speaker 1 And two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration are found to reverse Alzheimer's disease.

Speaker 1 Researchers found the drug slowed progression of Alzheimer's, reversed the disease, and restored memory in mice. Both drugs are FDA approved for cancer.

Speaker 1 Researchers examined medical records and found patients who had taken the drugs for cancer were less likely to develop Alzheimer's.

Speaker 1 According to the New York Post, FDA approval could speed up human trials for the drugs.

Speaker 1 The drugs join a growing list of potential Alzheimer's treatments, including carnosic acid, the Shingles vaccine, and another cancer drug.
