0:00Okay, first before we give you the facts of the day, run hide fight infadels is streaming now only on daily wire. It's an ode to the great action movies of the 80s and 90s. There's even a love story which nobody expected. And you can support daily wires mission to continue making movies that people actually want to watch. Go check it out. New details emerge on the foiled fly, Dubai hijacking. The FBI stops an extremist at the Texas Capitol. The Tennessee governor has paused lethal injections in the wake of a botched execution. I'm daily wire executive editor John Bickley, Georgia. How is off today? It's Thursday, October 1st. This is even wire. New details are out about Wednesday's failed hijacking of a fly due by flight. Daily wire contributor Tim Pierce is the latest. At least four Americans were part of the 174 passengers on board Wednesday's fly from Dubai to Tel Aviv. That's according to Fox News. And according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the attended hijacking was carried out by a radical Islamic terrorist.

1:02President Trump said this morning that he has been in touch with Netanyahu about the flight and that the terrorist may be linked to Iran. Here's the press done. If anybody brings you about whether or not the guy, the pilot of the fly, Dubai believes is linked to Iran. We're working on it right now to be very open with us. I would say the answer based on what I'm hearing is yes, but we're working on it right now. So this guy might have been either put in there by the IRDC or radicalize some other way and then you try to make down the plane. It's going to be a job. Authorities say they stopped a man who planned to open fire at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. Texas Department of Public Safety SWAT officers arrested a 40-year-old suspect at his San Antonio home early Wednesday. He's moved in after a friend alerted authorities to a message in which the suspect said he was headed to the Capitol to quote, shoot it up. arrest documents say the suspect told his friend he was angry at the pro-Israel lobbying group APAC and that quote, these people have to be exterminated.

2:05He's now facing state charges of making a terroristic threat and was transferred to federal custody by Wednesday evening. Secretary of War Pete Hexett delivered a fiery state of the force address at Marine Corb Base Quantico on Wednesday explaining his plans to overhaul the military from top to bottom. Speaking directly to junior officers and non-commissioned officers whom he called the quote backbone of our force Hexett declared that the military has officially abandoned woke policies to focus strictly on war fighting readiness and total lethality. Take a listen. But it's worth saying again so that the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. No translation of that. No fanny. No fatties. No tranny's. No beardows. No weirdos. No whims. No radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed, truths. The war department as you know is colorblind, gender neutral and merit based.

3:05Or as the president likes to say, repeat central casting. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has paused all state executions for the rest of the year. Clearly why a reporter Lyndon Blake has more. The governor has stopped all executions for the rest of 2026 after one death row in mate survived two lethal injection attempts on Wednesday. Christopher was sentenced to death for the 1995 torture and murder of one of her then class mates. She was scheduled to die last night and she would have become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. Instead she was hospitalized after surviving two doses of lethal drugs. He gave his thoughts to reporters this morning. Tennessee deserve a justice system that's fair, that's consistent, that is faithfully administered. My responsibility as to uphold the sentences that Tennessee juries have handed down even when it's difficult. And that is exactly what we intend to do in the days ahead.

4:08An independent third party is set to review Tennessee standards and protocols for executions. Class night in the debate to become California's next governor, Javier Basera struggled to defend his record as president Biden's former health secretary. Republican Steve Hilton caught Basera on one of the major failures of the Biden administration, losing track of hundreds of thousands of migrant children. Here is that exchange. I cannot believe that you're standing there, trying to make these arguments when you were HHS secretary. You were responsible for 479,000 unaccompanied migrant children and for their welfare in camps that you ran. You sent them because you dismantled the vetting that should have made sure that they were with a safe protective family or sponsor. You sent thousands of young children directly into the clutches of child sex and labor traffickers. Hundreds of thousands of children that you were responsible for are still missing today.

5:14A hundred thousand of them are under 10 years old. So I cannot believe that you haven't apologized, that you have any kind of sense of shame or responsibility for what you did to those children and you stand here lecturing people about immigration when you treated these most vulnerable children unaccompanied children in this way. Those retread Trump talking point that Trump used. It was the New York Times that Trump and they want to pull its surprise for any for pulling out of California shows Basera far ahead of Hilton in the deep blue state. A Politico poll from last week shows Basera leading at 54% to Hilton's 36%. The family of Renee Good is suing the Trump administration over her shooting death after a confrontation with ice officers in January. Home page managing editor Jordan Schroeder has a story. Good, a 37 year old mother and US citizen was shot and killed in January by an ice agent

6:16after attempting to ram her car into federal agents during a protest to Minneapolis. The two lawsuits filed Thursday accused administration officials of negligence in civil rights violations with the family seeking damages in a jury trial. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the ice agent who shot Good, arguing that his actions were a justified use of force in response to the threat. No charges were ever filed against the agent. Britain has begun another round of early prison releases with 700 prisoners being freed today and another 4500 expected to be released over the next 10 months. This comes as the country struggles with overcrowding. Some prisoners can now be released after serving just one third of their sentences. Roughly 2000 of them are set to leave prison in the next month, including domestic abusers and violent offenders. Sex offenders will also be eligible, although killers, rapists, and child grooming gang members are excluded from this round. The left-wing labor government says the releases are necessary because of a lack of prison capacity, while critics argue Britain should build more prisons rather than release inmates

7:21early. The mayor of the French city, Sandinia, is facing criticism after video showed him dancing near-student protesters during demonstrations that have spread across France. Here Kyle Robinson has the details. Critics accuse the mayor of the mayor of the mayor of the mayor, but the mayor said he was trying to keep demonstrators safe and help put out a fire. The viral video, however, shows him laughing, dancing, and manipulating a burning trash can during a high school protest. This was just one protest of over 100 happening across France for roughly the past week. Students are demanding more education funding, smaller classes, and additional teachers, as well as voice and complaints over dilapidated campuses in the lack of proper heat and AC. The interior minister said police detained 164 people as demonstrations reached nearly 180 schools with students blocking dozens of campuses. Some protests turned violent, starting fires, causing property damage, and clashing with police. The events have so far left at least 12 officers, eight educators, and roughly a dozen students injured. All well, one mayor had a very good time. Millions of Americans across the South and East are facing a week-long flood threat as

8:25tropical moisture from the Pacific, Caribbean, and Gulf of America moves inland, beginning Friday. Forecasters expect rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are likely to see totals up two to three inches through Monday, with some areas receiving five inches or more. Meanwhile, a level two flash flood risk is in place across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama for Saturday and Sunday. There are any conditions remain over the region into early next week, while much of the northeast stays relatively dry. One SpaceX launched four astronauts toward the International Space Station this morning after a three-week delay caused by a leaking fuel system. So she produced her Garrett van Tmeismore. NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins commanded the mission, becoming the first black woman to lead the crew into orbit. She was joined by NASA's Luke Delaney, Canada's Joshua Kutrick, and Russian cosmonauts, Sergei Tietjeer-Yatnikov, all three making their first trips into space. The crew is expected to reach the station after an unusually fast eight hour flight and

9:27remain there for about six months. Kutrick's wife is also due to give birth to their third child in late November while he is still in orbit. At the same time, Kutrick was cleared to bring a more than 100-year-old family pocket watch with him into space. The watch has been passed down through his family for generations, and will soon join the incredibly short list of civilian items that have traveled to space and back.
