Four victims have died after a deranged man opened fire Monday in a New York City skyscraper, housing the offices of the NFL and Blackstone. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more. The shooter, a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas with a history of mental health issues, stormed the 44-story midtown skyscraper with a rifle at around 6.30 p.m.

He then opened fire in the lobby before going to the 33rd floor, houses the offices of Ruden Management. The note he was carrying in his pocket suggests he meant to target the NFL, which he blamed for his CTE, despite never having played for the league. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the crazed shooter mistakenly went to the wrong floor. Among the four victims was a 36-year-old police officer who NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish hailed as a hero last night. Four innocent victims are dead among them is NYPD police officer, Dider Rule Islam.

36 years old, four years on the job. Officer Islam was married with two young boys, and his wife is pregnant with their third child. He's assigned to the 47 precinct in the Bronx as he was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm's way. He made the ultimate sacrifice, shot in cold blood,

wearing a uniform that stood for the promise that he made to this city. He died as he lived. a hero. Five people have been charged so far in the brutal Cincinnati brawl, but no one has been arrested yet and the specific charges have not yet been unsealed. A violent mob left a middle-aged man seriously injured and a middle-aged woman knocked out cold in the middle of downtown Cincinnati over the weekend. Police Chief Terry Thighi says the victims have been identified and officials may be going after more suspects. I will say if individuals were down there and participated in this

event, it would be in their best interest to come turn themselves in at one of our police districts. We have five we have charged and anticipate more. Anyone who put their hands on another individual during this incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences. I don't care which side of the incident or the fight they were on. Meanwhile, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Piroval, a Democrat, slammed what he called wildly irresponsible speculation coming from the Trump administration about a possible racial motive behind the attack. Border Patrol says they've seized more than a million dollars worth of cocaine at the Texas border. CBP found 77 pounds of the drug in a vehicle at Hidalgo port of entry on Saturday. Officials said in a statement that, quote, a canine inspection resulted in an alert.

And then a non-intrusive imaging system scan revealed a non-intruthful. anomalies within the vehicle. Upon closer inspection, officers discovered 30 packages containing a total of 35 kilos of cocaine hidden in the vehicle. The estimated street value was more than a million dollars. Jeffrey Epstein, Associate Galane Maxwell will plead the fifth before Congress unless several conditions are met. Her attorney told the House Oversight Committee that she wants immunity, the questions in advance, and to testify outside prison. He also hinted she'd fully cooperate if granted clemency. The committee, however, says it will not consider immunity. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein scheme to abuse young girls. She's currently

awaiting a possible Supreme Court appeal. Russian and Ukrainian leadership have responded to President Trump's announcement, shortening the deadline for peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Daily Wire Senior Editor Cabot Phillips has the latest. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky welcomed Donald Trump's ultimatum, saying the quote, clear stand. expressed determination and that, quote, a lot can change through strength for real peace. But the Russians were unhappy with the ultimatum. Deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev, for example, said, quote, each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.

Russian strikes on Ukraine continued last night, killing dozens of people as hospital and prison infrastructure were hit in the attacks. One of those victims was a pregnant woman in a maternity hospital. A court of appeals has overturned the $5.3 million awarded to a Clemson University student who was falsely accused of sexual assault. Daily Wire investigative reporter Marita Lorty has the details. Andrew Pampu was awarded the money in April 2022 after he sued his accuser, her father, and her ex-boyfriend for defamation. But last month, South Carolina's Court of Appeals overturned the ruling, setting the precedent that quasi-judicial campus tribunals

carry the same weight as jury trials. A jury unanimously agreed that Pampu had been defamed. The Court of Appeals overturned the unanimous jury ruling in part by claiming the trial that led to the ruling was unnecessary because the case had already been litigated by Clemson University administrators. This despite the fact that campus tribunals provide little to no due process for accused students. Pampu and his attorneys say they will continue to fight for justice following the disappointing ruling. Harvard may settle with the Trump administration for up to $500 million over alleged civil rights violations against Jewish students, faculty, and staff. Negotiations between the two parties have grown tense, and while the specifics remain under wraps,

Harvard is apparently hesitant to pay the government directly and to allow an independent monitor, as Columbia did in their settlement last week. President Trump and Education Secretary Linda McMahon have both expressed optimism that Harvard will agree to a settlement soon. The Department of Education is investigating Duke University in the Duke Law Journal for alleged racial discrimination. The Law Journal reportedly granted extra points to editor applicants who mentioned their race or ethnicity in their personal statement

and described themselves as belonging to an underrepresented group. Secretary McMahon bashed the move saying that it, quote, is an affront not only to civil rights law, but to the meritocratic character of academic excellence. McMahon joined HHS Secretary RFK Jr. in a letter to Duke requesting that the school review and reform its policies. The department head from the University of Tennessee was caught on camera boasting that the big orange is still pushing DEI, all while flying under the radar in a very red state.

In a video obtained by the Daily Wire, Professor and Department Head of Counselor Education KCA Barrio Minton said the programming, quote, isn't a whole lot different. All of the offices were diversity and inclusion became access and engagement. We have access and engagement everywhere. I haven't noticed makeshift in the programming. This comes after a Vanderbilt University administrator was also caught on video making similar admissions, and therefore violating President Trump's executive action cracking down on colleges. July tariff revenues are smashing records. The United States collected $28 billion in July and a total of $150 billion so far this year.

The revenues come as President Trump just struck a deal with America's largest trading partner, the European Union, and a separate deal with Japan. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said the tariffs could generate hundreds of billions of dollars for the federal government. I think we could annualize at $300 billion. So a way to think about that is that's roughly 1% of our U.S. 30 trillion GDP. The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing the climate endangerment finding declaration. Secretary Lee Zeldin announced the end of the Obama administration,

program on the Ruthless podcast. Endangerment Finding said gases such as carbon monoxide and methane endanger human lives. These findings are foundational for the government's regulations on vehicles, airplanes, and stationary sources. Zeldin called the repeal a big deal. This has been referred to as basically driving a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion. It costs Americans a lot of money.

What's the significance? How big is the endangerment finding? Well, repealing it will be the last. largest deregulatory action in the history of America. Blue strongholds are losing hundreds of billions of dollars in income as Americans flock to red states in droves. A former Trump Economic Advisor and the governor of Virginia have announced a database tracking domestic migration. It includes information from 2012 to 2021 and breaks down migration in terms of aggregated gross income or AGI. New York and California took the biggest hits,

both losing just over $100 billion. The other top five biggest losers were Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. All five states are entirely or mostly controlled by Democrats. Elon Musk's Boring Company is building a major tunnel project here in Nashville starting next year. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced Monday that his state is partnering with Musk's company to build an underground tunnel connecting the Nashville airport to the city's downtown. The project will be called Music City Loop and will connect Nashville International Airport, to the heart of the city's entertainment district via an underground tunnel using electric vehicles.

The Boring Company estimates that the trip will take just eight minutes. During a press conference at the airport, Lee said the project would be 100% privately funded at no cost to taxpayers. Soon, Nashville will be home to the Music City Loop. The Boring Company is set to transform the airport to downtown travel experience. And for those that live here, it means that there'll be less congestion on our roads. There will be less wear and tear on our highways. And the best part of it all is 100% privately funded. And have you ever checked that box online to ensure you're not a robot?

Well, so has ChatGPT. DailyWire researcher Michael Whitaker reports. The newest generation of Chatbot, ChatGPT agent, which was designed to navigate the internet and perform complex task for users, can now pass the prove you're not a robot, CAPHA test. An agent is not the only AI to display human-like qualities. Recently, an AI passed the Turing test,

which measures a machine's ability to display human-like intelligence. Open AI says agent will always ask permission before making important decisions, such as purchases.
