What's driving the backlash and how is the U.S. responding? I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Tuesday, September 29th, and this is Morning Wire. SpaceX achieves orbit with its massive and potentially space race changing Starship rocket. Starship is going to be completely disruptive once it becomes operational. Both the booster and the ship are being designed to be 100% reusable. And Iran comes back to the table to sit down with U.S. officials in New York. As Trump says, the regime has overplayed its hand. We're going to win. As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be one way or the other. It's going to be, it's going to go pretty quickly. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned.

All five suspects have been released as more questions emerge over their ties to Iran. Joining us now with the latest is Bev Turner, host of GB News Late Show Live. Thanks for coming on. My pleasure. So we have a lot of developments and a lot of fallout from this alleged terror plot. What is the latest now out of the UK? Well, the good news is that President Trump is saying that we did a good job in the UK to foil this terror plot. The bad news is these guys are out on bail. And President Trump said, I wouldn't have done that. And I'm sure he's absolutely right. We don't know who they are, but we know there are five young guys who are being told are British nationals. Now, when a picture was released of them with their shirts taken off in case they wearing suicide vests when they were apprehended by the police, they didn't look British born in that they could have been North African or Arab descent. They might have been born overseas, of course, and got British citizenship. We believe that it might be associated with Iran, although the IRGC have been quick to say this is nothing to do with us. And they're accusing the UK of a new word, ladies and gentlemen, Iranophobia. Oh, my goodness. That's a new one. And there's a lot of outrage and concern among several communities in the UK. Can you speak to that some? We've been talking when I come on here with you guys regularly about the number of illegal migrants who are coming to the UK, the suspicion being that some of them may have terrorist intentions. We don't know who they are. We don't know what their backgrounds are. They arrive with no papers. So there is certainly a suspicion that perhaps even if it's not these five guys, it might be that these are just useful idiots. They might be British born. They've been paid a bit of money to drive these vans, potentially with some explosives in into the US, UK airbase. The guys who are running the operation are likely to be behind the scenes somewhere. And of course, for British people, this is incredibly worrying. We don't know who is coming onto our shores. If it transpires, guys, that there is a connection to illegal migration, then actually I think there will be huge uproar in the UK. Well, speaking of uproar, at the same time, we have the British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who she announced a massive resettlement for asylum seekers coming from the Middle East. Do you know where are they going and what are people saying about it? I have to say, in the defense of Shabana Mahmood, this might be a way to stop the boats. For many years, people have been saying there are no safe routes for asylum seekers in the UK. We just don't have any. So what they are saying now is, OK, you don't have to come across on a dinghy anymore. You can apply like you might for other European countries. But what we're hearing at the moment, the initial details of this is that it will be women and children, particularly from Afghanistan. Now we see the pictures. They're not women and children on these boats anyway. These are blokes who are applying. Is it going to stop them? Probably not. But it might mean that there are some people who are genuine asylum seekers not just coming for a better economic existence. They might now have a route to the UK. Most British people would be OK with giving some place and some refuge to women and children living under brutal patriarchal regimes across the world. But the detail of this remains to be seen. It might be that we get more migrants coming over legally, but it's not going to stop those who are coming illegally and that is not going to help us. One more question we mentioned at the top. These guys are released on bail. The terms are supposedly stringent. Do we know anything about the terms of the release for these suspects? I don't know how stringent those restrictions could possibly be unless they've got somebody literally sleeping in their home with them to check. They don't pick up a mobile phone. It's hard to imagine that they aren't able to contact other people they might have been working with. It does play into the narrative, perhaps, as I say, that these are petty criminals. They've been recruited to carry out the operation, but maybe they don't know a huge amount. I'm afraid I am with President Trump on this. Why would you give these guys bail when we see other people arrested in the U.K. for much less serious offenses who don't get given bail? It's playing into the idea that as long as we are not accused of being Iranophobic or Islamophobic, then we'll let these guys go free. Well, a lot of concerning developments. And we see how the U.K. and the U.S.'s fate are intertwined in these situations. Beth, thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Most people have a handful of very hardworking clothing items that they reach for all the time. And for me, those are a few favorite T-shirts, jeans and sweaters. And I'm always excited to talk about Quince because so many of my favorite most worn items are from there. Quince makes high quality, classic clothing items made of real premium materials like cashmere, silk, leather, European linen. Plus, they've expanded into many other product lines like shoes, home items, jewelry, etc. Quince clothing items are great for courses because they hold up to tons of wear and washing. And the tailoring is just very classic, not super trendy, so you can keep wearing core items for a really long time. And they're also very reasonably priced.

massive step forward monday in its first orbital launch of its mega rocket starship which released 26 starlink satellites into orbit before returning to earth joining us now to discuss is retired astronaut and chemical engineer as well as author of the book dinner with an astronaut leroy chow leroy thanks for coming on my pleasure great to be here so starship is huge extremely powerful but even so one of its six engines failed uh but it was still able to reach orbit how significant is this achievement oh it's a huge achievement and actually the first stage has 33 engines and so it did lose one going uphill on the booster and then later on the ship did lose one of its engines or shut down prematurely but it still had enough delta v and fuel to get into the proper orbit starship is going to be completely disruptive once it becomes operational it is over twice as powerful as saturn 5 moon rockets it's twice as powerful as the current nasa artemis space launch system or sls rocket and the big thing that's going to make it disruptive is both the booster and the ship are being designed to be 100 reusable refurbishable and reusable and spacex in addition to that the booster has already been refurbished in the previous flights has already caught the booster three times in their meccazilla mechanism flying the booster back to the pad and then gently capturing it in what is nicknamed the chopsticks they've actually refurbished one of those boosters and flown it again showing reusability incredible ship has several times completed its mission flown back and hovered over the water in the pacific showing that if there had been a drone ship there with the same chopsticks mechanism it too could be caught softly and used wow this flight test was a huge deal it was the most ambitious arguably of any of the other flight tests they got the ship into orbit for the first time and it deployed 26 starlink version 3 satellites successfully uh these had never been flown before they're they're too big too heavy to be lofted on the falcon 9 rocket so it really is was designed to be deployed by starship this was a great first live demonstration using real satellites that are now you know initialized and part of the constellation uh so in a way this was a flight test but this was also an operational mission that it's deployed those 26 live satellites and those satellites these are version 3 v3 satellites that are significantly more powerful correct that's right that's right so i don't know all the specifics but each version is more powerful than the previous and it's the same satellite bus it's going to be used for uh i think the i forget exactly what it's called but basically starlink to your phone directly as well as the same bus that's going to be used for what elon musk has been talking about which are orbital data centers and so um exciting stuff coming in the future for sure yeah about those orbital data centers i mean this all of this is straight out of a sci-fi movie but can you unpack that a little bit more for us what is the vision there for that sure well you know the data centers are controversial to say the least here on earth uh they're big they can make noise uh they use water although a lot of that water is recycled and sent back uh they use a lot of power and so they're controversial here on earth but elon and he's not the only one with this idea says why don't we put these things in space and the question the first question is always well how are you going to put this massive data center into space well you don't you put a constellation of satellites out there you connect them with laser communications or other radio communications and you do network computing like that and that's how you do your data center the energy once you get your satellite into orbit is basically the sun you know so it's kind of for free i mean it's not you had to launch everything up there uh but the sun is about four or so times brighter uh in space than it is here on earth because you don't have to go through the atmosphere right and so you get more concentrated sunlight up there you can reject the heat using radiators pointing the satellite such that the radiators edge on towards the sun and you can get more concentrated sunlight up there you can reject the sun so it's not getting that uh absorbing a lot of energy but it's radiating away off the sides so in principle this is uh something that's exciting uh it has not been demonstrated so the devil's in the details but uh my experience with with elon musk you know when he started spacex in 2002 all of us in the business including me we all thought he was crazy and he wasn't going to be able to do any of this and he's proven us all wrong now with ai we hear a lot about the exciting technology happening on earth and we forget we have these huge leaps being made in space leroy thanks for coming on my pleasure thank you treasury secretary scott besant told fox sunday that iran is down to just 15 million barrels of oil to trade with as the u.s blockade has forced iran back to the table they will have nothing to trade for anything probably within the next two weeks they are going to make their final deliveries of oil to china and then they they will have nothing joining us now to discuss is victoria codes national security and foreign policy expert at heritage victoria thanks for coming on georgia great to be with you so iranian negotiators have come back to the table um supposedly meeting with multiple trump officials in new york what's driving this and what kind of progress do we know has been made basically i think you've seen president trump flip the script essentially on two different things the timeline to the midterms and the opening of the straight of her moods they the iranians thought they had a lot of leverage with this timeline that the president would be forced to come to the table give them a lot of relief before the midterms he said no i'm not going to do that and same thing with the straight we've had saudi petroline reopened today so we're getting seven million barrels a day out of out of saudi now again and the hoodie have quieted down in the red sea so i think in both of those cases the president can drive the deal he wants yeah you're speaking of the barrel output now president trump has said that he's going to Trump said recently that we're close to pre-conflict levels what are the levels now in hormuz it sounds like it's about 15 million barrels a day the regular flow is about 20 million barrels a day but to the point that secretary besant was making if they're down below 20 million barrels on the water during this so-called ceasefire the memorandum of uh of understanding over the summer they moved 90 million barrels out of out of iran and that's what they've been selling and that they're now out of that they've been consuming their feedstock if you will so in about two weeks time they have no income now i understand that their currency has completely crashed what do we know about the economics on the ground in iran it's a total disaster so at the beginning of this year we were talking about 1.3 million real to a dollar 10 years ago it was 30 000 now we're well over 2 2.4 million so in in less than a year's time they've lost another billion barrels a day so that's a total disaster so at the beginning of this year we were talking million real to the dollar their currency has no value so this is the point john and georgia this can't go on president trump can go on just fine so once we get past the midterms they've got two more years of this it's not sustainable quick question before you go iran has denied any connection to the suspected terror plot foiled in the uk on sunday what information have you seen on that alleged plot yeah this is the fairfield plot this is outrageous this is a whole bunch of irgc folk who are active in the united kingdom packing up vans with explosives and you know what the most outrageous thing is is andy burnham their new prime minister's authorities have let all these people out on bail why would you ever do that keep them in jail find out what they know me make a liar out of me prove you're not irgc i think they are all right well victoria thanks so much for coming on thank you before you go we have an all access live tonight at 5 p.m central we're going to be answering your questions and we'll see you in the next video your questions there will probably be some sort of game involved yeah apparently the producers
