Joining us now to discuss the fallout from all of this is Katie Pavlich host of Katie Pavlich tonight Katie, great to have you on again Great to see you. thanks much for having me So I would say that the dust is settled on what took place Tuesday in New York, but I feel like it's actually just ramping up. Things got really heated yesterday with the fallout from this. We had the election of three candidates all endorsed by Mom Donni against the wishes of the establishment Democrats, which is key. his candidates pulled off a clean sweep first big picture, why have these elections created such a stir Well, because the Democratic socialists of America, you know, they tested out Mom Donny to become the mayor of the biggest city in the country, one of the most important cities in the world. And now they have successfully infiltrated the Democratic Party. And the reason why people are so concerned about these candidates is because of their backgrounds. They are openly pro terrorism. They say things like we believe in the Palestinian resistance and we need to translate that to unrest and violence in America. And so this is an organized movement. It's not just a one off, and it's not even about Mam Dani. It's about the Dmocratic socialists of America organizing to use the democratic system, which is why they say Democratic socialists to obtain power, and then once they have that power to undermine everything that America stands for and to rebuild the systems that they want, which are socialists, communists, and Islamists Now out of the three candidates two have really gained the most attention. That's Claire Valdez and Daria Liza Avila Chavalier. They've both espouseed some pretty extreme views, what do we know about them? Well, in terms of the views that they've espoused, Dara Liza has said we need to undermine and eradicate America as we know it. She's the one who talked about, you know using the Palestinian resistance to bring viol and unrest to America. There's another candidate that also won a state Senate seat in New York last night named Arubor Kunis. and she is the one who is on the record openly saying that America deserved nine hundred eleven. She's been spotted at these pro terrorism rallies holding Hamas headbands, and she is now going to hold elected office in New York This ideology is far removed from what you would think would be a quote, moderate Democrat and the Democratic Socials of America, which is eighty thousand members. They have over one hundred chapters on college campuses all across the country. And the strategy is they go into these deep blue districts that are kind of sleepy where they don't expect a lot of turnout. they take on these establishment candidates, they win, and then they solidify their power and grow their numbers, and we're seeing that in real time How confident do Democrats feel about these candidates winning in November? the mainstream Democrats and A Kim Jeffyers, who is of course, the minority leader in the House is having a very difficult time grappling with this. But the DSA is very confident. They have a lot of funding. They are very good at the propaganda machine. They were quite good at selling this communist socialist ideology in the vein of She Govara, you know, the t shirt style making it look ool And their recipe is that Americans are struggling with things like inflation and the cost of living. So they say the right things, but underneath it all, their agenda is really to destroy the American experience as we know it Do you see the Democratic Party getting behind these candidates out of necessity like they have with Graam Platinner? Yeah I mean, Griman Planner is a DSA endorsed candidate. So yes, absolutely, they will get in line because you're seeing that Democrats will do pretty much anything to maintain power despite the fact they' getting eaten alive by these far left anti American candidates who have espoused You know views of violence to meet their political ends H you mentioned Democratic House mininority leadeader Hakim Jeffrees He's seen as the biggest loser of the week The National Republican Congressional Committee actually sent him flowers yesterday in condolences to losing all these elections Has he already lost control of the party Yes, one hundred percent. He's lost control of the Democratic Party. He's been a pretty terrible leader, and I would not be surprised if you see some challenging of him in his leadership position ahead of midterm elections. Final question, the response to all of this on the Republican side, what are you hearing from your sources among Republicans There's two different camps. There's some Republicans who think this is great because these candidates are so extreme that the American people will be completely turned off and they find these statements about, you know, America deserving nine hundred eleven, for example, completely revolting On the other hand There is this fear that the DSA is very strategic and they are and organized and being able to put in candidates against incumbents, whether they're Republican or Democrat, that people are kind of sick of, right? The establishment. You know, Susan Collins has been in the Senate for a very long time. She's Gram Platner is much younger than her different kind presentation than she does. We're seeing the same thing in the Michigan U. S. Senate race. So they're very good at choosing their candidates despite the fact that these people have extreme views about America and what they plan to do once they're in power, that they should not be underestimated because they plan to win. and they are And most of these candidates are very young. They'll be here for a long time if they do gain a foothold. Katy, thank you so much for coming on It's great to see you Thankks for having me. If you had to guess, what do you think is the fastest growing source of risk for business right now? It's not inflation, it's not regulation, it's AI risk. Every new AI tool, every new software integration, every vendor that turns on AI features. Each one creates another opportunity and vulnerability for something to go wrong. Most security programs weren't built for the speed at which AI is changing business. That's where Vanta comes in Vanta is the number one Aentic trust platform used by more than sixteen thousand companies to help stay audit ready and manage security and compliance more efficiently. But what makes Vanta especially useful is that it doesn't just help during audits. It helps companies monitor the risks that show up between audits too, across vendors, across AI tools, across their entire environment The Vanta agent works like a twenty four seven GRC engineer, already in the background, identifying issues, drafting fixes, and reducing vendor assessment time by up to fifty percent Trust is hard to build and easy to lose. Whether you're a fast growing startup or a global enterprise, Vanta is here to help you automate your security and compliance, and earn improve trust. Get started today at Vanta d. com slash mningwire. That's vaNa d. com slash morning wire A first of its kind domestic terrorism case brings decades of prison time for a group of AntifFA members. Daily Wire, immmigration reporter, Jenny Ter joins us now with the latest. So Jenny, we saw a total of eight defendants who were sentenced this week. I think a lot of people were very surprised by how severe those sentences were. First, what was the significance of that You're absolutely right. There were some pretty significant sentences here. and just to set the scene on that july fourth day last year, outside of a North Texas Iice detention facility, these Antifa militants basically lured officers out of the building. They set off fireworks, knowing that it was indndependence Day. Those officers then came out and that's when that group fired about twenty to thirty shots at them. And in the aftermath of this, we learned that a local police officer who was responding to the incident was actually shot in the neck Thankfully, that officer did survive, but it just goes to show you exactly the severity of this attack. New bodycam footage has also emerged showing how dramatic the situation was at the scene. So going back to those lengthy sentences, one of the individuals who is tagged as the ringleader of this, that's Benjamin Song. He's a Marine Corps reservist actually, and he was the one actually fired at that officer who was injured in this attack. For his part, he received a hundred year sentence. That is the maximum penalty for those charges. So that was the biggest one that we saw. Then there were seven others who had sentences ranging from about thirty to seventy years behind bars. Going back to song, he was accused of firing two AR fifteen style rifles off that. Song also was said to have recruited his co conspirators and communicated in encrypted chats with them online. Then he also was said to have instructed the group to actually get their rifles ready as they were preparing to shoot. He also fled the scene and was able to evade authorities for about eleven days after the attack Like you said, these are very heavy sentences. I've certainly seen some left wing media suggesting that this is retribution and that these were politically targeted defendants. What do the prosecutors attribute these long sentences to? And so this is the first domestic terrorism case against AntifA. So this is pretty historic. and this comes after the Trump administration's designation of AntifFA as a terrorist organization So this being the first case, and then also the fact that the evidence pointed to this highly coordinated and motivated effort. This group bought military style clothing. They use these bags called Faday bags to conceal cell phone signals from law enforcement actually Then we can look at days after the attack when Song was fleeing. And we should also mention that the other members of this group had tried to flee from authorities, but were unsuccessful. So with all of this, we can see that this was highly coordinated Right. And it seems like federal authorities do want to make an example out of this How did they tie this group to AntifA specifically in order to pursue those terrorism charges? Those prosecutors looked at the ideology that this group was espousing. They said that they were looking to overthrow the government and law enforcement Also, during the trial, an expert witness had testified to the tactics that were employed by AntifA. They said those really aligned And that includes targeting ice facilities increasingly due to their opposition to the Trump administration's mass deportation effort Now it was also revealed during the trial that Song himself wanted to free the detainees from the IC detention center. Now the group also left flyers behind that read fight ice terror with class war, free all political prisoners, resist fascism, fight oligarchy. They also spray painted a vehicle with the words ice pig and did the same thing on a guard shack at the facility Well like you said, a first of its kind case actually pursuing a terrorism charge against AntifA members. Jenny, thanks so much for reporting Thank you Hey, it's Ry Reynold here from Mittit Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for fifteen dollars a month is bad. So I thought Be fun If we made fifteen dollar bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at midmobile d. com slash swwitch. Upr payment forty five dollars for three months, ninety dollars for months or one hundred ninetyllars forelveth plan required fifteen doll for month equalent to taxes and theses extra initial plan term only greater than fifty gigytes and slow netork busy term team USA wraps up group play today against Turkey or Turkey, depending on your pronunciation. The United States leads group five with six points and a plus five goal differential. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to closely watch the Iranian team amid security concerns. Here to explain what all of this means and break down the World Cup fandom that's sweeping the nation is Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake So Lyndon, first off, the US has a game today. Can you tell us what the stakes are, who they're playing and what it means for the tournament? This is going to be a fun match against Turkey. They're playing for dominance, TamSA is already won group D. They already have their game scheduled for july first for the round of thirty two. So I think today's match in no offense to Turkey A, they're not going to make it. They're playing for nothing. It's a good time to get to know the players and just enjoy a soccer match without the pressure of having to win. So this is interesting T team USA is not going to know who they play in that round of thirty two on july first until potentially Saturday. and that's because the World Cup expanded this time to forty eight teams. Back in twenty twenty two, you had sixteen of the thirty two teams in the tournament advanced and with eight groups of four, the top two teams from each group advanced. So now you kind have to wait to see how it plays out Again, today's a great day to learn the game of soccer. John soccer fan? Huge. mayaybe not so much. You know they call the field of pitch I've heard I've heard that because I lost Wrexham. Okay, do you know they call the jersey a kit No, what do they call the bras that men wear? Those monitor the heartbeats and I don't know what they call them, but yes they it appears as the soccer players are wearing these sports bras, but it monitors their heart throughout the match. So very interesting, the more you know. And you can also learn some of the players. So so far for Team USA, you had Falorian Balagun. he has scored a team high two goals and he had the option to play for Nigeria or the US Because his parents were born in Nigeria and he chose to rock with the US ofA. So you can watch him Chris Richards. he's from Alabama. He's one of the center backacks, mean he's one of the defenders for team USA. He leads the team in passes. So you could say the US is on a tear right now, dominated Paraguay, dominated Australia and now they're entering as hot as ever into the round of thirty two And it's very fun for Team USA fans to have their country mentioned among the greats like Argentina, France, Colombia, Mexico. So you know, we're feeling pretty good heading out of the group stage. Are they projected to maybe win? Now the way they're playing, yes, going into the tournament. No. It was like sixty to one odds. And people were saying these experts were saying Team USA got to win in the round of sixteen. that would be considered a huge success. And now people are saying, wait I think they could win it all. Well, I think a lot of people have been surprised at the fandom that's actually showed up for Team USA. We are still seeing tons of Europeans flooding social media with their impressions from America, things they love about America. We've previously reported on Freddy with Meghgan Basham, but he's continued on his tear. So what has Freddie been up to? Okay, well, I'm going to credit my home state of Alabama being the reason why Freddie loves America so much. G to go to my almaater Auburn And see an Eagle fly when he went to watch Messy play in Jordan Hair Stadium. He's just continuing to have the time of his life. Got to meet Ella Langley, arguably the hottest name in country music right now. He's gotten invited to the White House, but him and his friends, they are living the ultimate American road trip and it's not just them. I've seen people from Japan tear into a turkey leg. and it's the best thing they've ever done in their life free refills, they don't have that over there. So I love this celebrate America that all the other countries are having. this like American of pride and it's especially fun for us because we're all celebrating two hundred fifty years. Toty, before we let you go, we wanted to talk about the Iranian situation. This is interesting A change in policy maybe from the White House on this What is the latest on how we're dealing with that from a security standpoint? So far, this tournament, they have not been allowed to stay on U S. soil. They've had to go back to Mexico immediately after every match because there's been the obvious travel bans the restricted visas for Iranian team members and people that are with the team I mean it's just been a very lockdown situation. Obviously the team has complained. So for their next match, which is Friday in Seattle against Egypt, the US Department of Homeland Security allowed Iran to go up to Seattle two days prior to the match, which is a big deal to get ready for the match against Egypt, but as soon as that match wraps up, they will have to fly back down to Mexico So that's been a fascating area of the World Cup tournament to watch. But again, you have so many layers to this, the USA doing great. you have the fandom. It's just been an exciting thing to watch unfold. Unexpected joy having the World Cup here.
