New details emerge on the foiled fly, due by hijacking. The FBI stops an extremist at the Texas Capitol and the Tennessee governor has paused lethal injections in the wake of a botched execution. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley, Georgia Howe is off today. It's Thursday, October 1st. This is Eat Me 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. President 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. 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 radicalized some other way. And then you try to make down the way. 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 a San Antonio home early Wednesday. Police moved in after a friend alerted authorities to a message in which the suspect said he was headed to the Capitol to, quote, "shooted up." arrest documents say the suspect told his friend he was angry at the pro-Israel lobbying group APEC in that quote, "These people have to be exterminated." He's now facing state charges of making a terroristic threat and was transferred to federal custody by Wednesday evening. Secretary of War Pete Hexet delivered a fiery state of the force address at Marine Corps 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," Hexet 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. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no trannies, no beardows, no weirdoes, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed truths. The war department, as you know, is colorblind, gender neutral, and merit-based. Or as the president likes to say, repeat central casting. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has paused all state executions for the rest of the year, daily wire reporter Lyndon Blake has more. The governor has stopped all executions for the rest of 2026. After one death row in May, survived two lethal injection attempts on Wednesday. Christopher Pike 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. Lee gave his thoughts through reporters this morning. An independent third party is set to review Tennessee standards and protocols for executions. 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. He was 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. A 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. We were the New old 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 political 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 after attempting to ram her car into federal agents during a protest to Minneapolis. The two lawsuits filed Thursday accused administration officials of negligence and 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 early. The mayor of the French city, San Deneas, facing criticism after video showed him dancing near student protesters during demonstrations that have spread across France, contributor Kyle Robinson has the details. Critics accuse the mayor, Bali Baguioco, of encouraging unrest, 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 then 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 and 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 turn violent, starting fires, causing property damage, and clashing with police. The events have so far left at least 12 officers, 8 educators, and roughly a dozen students injured, all while one mayor had a very good time. Millions of Americans across the South and East are facing a week-long flood threat as tropical 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 of 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. And 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 Team as more. NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins commanded the mission, becoming the first black woman to lead a crew into orbit. She was joined by NASA's Luke Delaney, Canada's Joshua Kutrick and Russian cosmonaut 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 remain 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.
