The U.S. Consulate in Toronto is attacked and Tulsi Gabbard fights to declassify the cause of Havana syndrome.
I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe.
It's Tuesday, March 10th. This is Evening Wire.
Shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in downtown Toronto early this morning and what authorities are calling a national security incident.
Daily Wire reporter's actual has latest.
Police say two suspects exited a white SUV around 4.30 Tuesday morning and fired multiple rounds at
the building before fleeing the scene. No injuries were reported. Officers later found shell casings
and damage to the entrance. The Canadian Mounties are working alongside Toronto Police and U.S.
officials, including the FBI, as they investigate whether the shooting may have broader connections.
In the meantime, U.S. and Israeli diplomatic sites have increased security.
Iran is added again, escalating their threatening rhetoric against President Trump.
After Trump warned that the U.S. would hit Iran, quote, 20 times harder if it disrupted oil traffic,
Iran's Supreme National Security Council head said they don't fear paper threats and told Trump
to watch out for yourself.
Trump had specifically warned that any attempt to block the straight of war moves would
trigger overwhelming retaliation.
War Secretary Pete Higgseth echoed that message and American military leaders say a range
of options, including escorting ships, remain on the table.
Speaking of the Secretary of War in a press conference this morning, he said that today
will mark the most intense day of strikes so far and vowed that you.
U.S. will not relent until Iran's military capabilities are fully dismantled.
The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, intelligence, more refined and better
than ever. We're winning decisively with brutal efficiency, total air dominance, and an
unbreakable will to accomplish the president's objectives on our timeline.
The Secretary also addressed Russia's potential involvement after the president spoke with Vladimir Putin
over the phone on Monday.
The president said it was a good call. I was not on it, but those that were said it was a strong call
reaffirming hopefully the opportunity for some peace in Russia, Ukraine, and also a recognition
that as it pertains to this conflict, they should not be involved.
Hexas stressed that this is not a repeat of past Middle East wars calling the mission
focused, limited, and carried out on our timeline.
Russian officials were quick to replace the video that appeared to show Vladimir Putin
struggling to speak over the weekend.
Daily Wire, Senior Editor, Joel Needler, has the story.
Putin began coughing and clearing his throat during a pre-recorded International Women's Day
address this past weekend.
The unedited clip briefly appeared on the Kremlin's official social media accounts and
showed the 73-year-old leader coughing while gesturing to someone off-camera before restarting
his remarks.
The Kremlin later removed the footage and uploaded a shorter edited version that omitted the
coughing fit, claiming the original clip was posted accidentally.
The incident has renewed persistent rumors in recent years about possible health problems affecting the Russian leader.
CNN has responded publicly to the controversy surrounding their headline Monday,
which described the two attempted New York City bombers as teenagers enjoying the city on a warm day.
The network acknowledged that the headline, quote,
failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, saying it breached their editorial standards and that it's therefore been deleted.
Tulsi Gabbard is fighting the intelligence community to disclose the real copy,
of Havana syndrome and exactly who used the technology on U.S. officials.
Cabot Phillips, host of Wired In Live, has the details.
The apparent dispute within the U.S. intelligence community centers on new evidence
suggesting Russia may be responsible for the illness known as Havana syndrome,
which has afflicted hundreds of American officials since 2016.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly pushing to release findings
that some officials say the Biden administration actively covered up,
but she is facing a stark opposition from the CIA.
Investigators believe the illness stems from a signal-based weapon that uses pulsed microwave or radio frequency energy capable of targeting brain tissue from a distance, producing symptoms including vertigo, hearing loss, migraines, blindness, and cognitive impairment.
According to reports, U.S. agents secretly purchased one of the suspected devices on the black market for about $15 million in a covert Pentagon-backed effort to study the technology.
Officials also warned that this weapon could theoretically be transmitted through cell phones.
While there's little public information on these devices,
senior national security officials were briefed in the White House Situation Room last year
and left, quote, white in the face.
Debates are currently ongoing over whether publicly blaming Moscow
could complicate diplomatic negotiations.

Does anyone else feel like nutrition is getting way too complicated?
We used to just eat food.
Now you need a PhD to read the back of a cereal box.
Here's the reality.
We've all been told since we were kids to eat our fruits and vegetables.
But nobody really explained that what you're actually,
actually after in those foods are the phytonutrients.
Those natural compounds your body uses to adjust, repair, and respond every single day.
The more we've tried to improve food and factories,
the further we've gotten from what your body actually recognizes as food.
That's why I like balance of nature.
They take real produce and run it through a tailored vacuum-cold process
that stabilizes its phytonutrition,
instead of nuking it with heat and chemicals.
Their whole health system bundle includes their fruits and vegetables
and fiber and spice supplements,
giving you 47 ingredients of whole food and their phytonutrients.
in a simple, consistent routine.
They've even rolled out brand new freeze-dried snacks that go through a similar process,
so you're not trading convenience for quality.
Our producer Brandon loves Balance of Nature.
The convenience can't be topped.
And getting the actual real food ingredients makes a real difference in your body.
He raves about it.

AI firm Anthropic is suing the Trump administration over its ban from the Department of War.
Dailywire reporter Breckistole has more.
Following tense negotiations with U.S. defense officials, the Department of War labeled
Anthropic a supply chain risk after the company denied unrestricted lawful use of their large
language models to the department.
Anthropic did not want their models to be used for autonomous weapon systems or for mass domestic
surveillance.
The Department of War said how the military uses the technology is not an unelected tech
executives choice to make but President Trump's as the commander-in-chief.
Anthropic is now suing the government over being
classified as a supply chain risk, which is a term that has never been given to an American company.
Under Secretary of War, Amel Michael explained the unprecedented supply chain risk designation is needed
because he didn't want the risk of Anthropics policy bias to enter into any part of the defense
enterprise. Quote, if their model has this policy bias based on their constitution, their culture,
their people, I don't want Lockheed Martin using their model to design weapons for me.
The DOJ is moving to block a Missouri lawsuit attempting to prevent the abortion drug Mithapristone from being mailed into the state.
In a suit filed on Friday, the DOJ argued that allowing the suit to move forward would inhibit an ongoing safety review being conducted by the FDA.
The DOJ filing asked the judge to put the lawsuit on hold while the FDA reviews the risks of Mithpristone or dismiss the case altogether.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department told the Daily Wire that the intent of,
the filing was to allow the FDA to oversee drug policy, not the federal court system.
This week, during the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, the U.S. was the only
nation out of 36 to vote against a woke document that promoted gender ideology. Daily Wire
Culture reporter Megan Basham has the story. Bethany Cosma, director of global affairs at HHS,
said this year's document for women's issues was, quote, a disappointment. She noted there was
no mention of motherhood or unique female experiences, and that, quote, it failed to define what a
woman is. Cosma and her team offered amendments to include language defending the integrity of women,
but when it came time to vote on them, the council bundled them together. This was a major issue,
as some nations who might have voted for one amendment also refused others, so grouping them
virtually insured a failed vote. Despite the setback, Cosma said, I'm really proud of us. We were the
only country that was voting to protect women and girls.
An appeals court has struck down Washington, D.C.'s ban on high-capacity magazines for firearms.
We spoke with veteran and Daily Wire producer Justice Spuehler for more.
A local D.C. law had previously cat magazine sizes at 10 rounds for all firearms, which
led to the arrest of Tyree Benson in 2022, who was found to be in possession of a 30-round magazine.
Following several appeals, a three-judge panel in D.C. has now cleared Benson of all charges,
ruling the ban unconstitutional. The majority held the opinion that magazines exceeding 10 rounds
are, quote, ubiquitous in the United States and that banning them would be an undue burden on the
Second Amendment. The sole dissenting judge claimed that, while some larger capacities are common,
a 30-round capacity magazine is excessive and not, quote, in common use for self-defense.
Now, we should note that 30-round magazines are not only common, but they're the most common capacity
magazine for AR-style rifles, which are routinely used for self-defense. D.C. is likely to appeal the
case to the Supreme Court. The NBA has stepped in forcing the Atlanta Hawks to cancel their
strip club-themed promotional night. Yes, really. DeLiLewire reporter Lyndon Blake explains.
The promotion was scheduled for next week and tended to honor one of Atlanta's iconic
cultural institutions. That cultural institution happens to be the Magic City Strip Club,
which sparked backlash from current NBA players and fans. The night was set to feature a performance
from Rapper T.I.
As well as offering a special menu item,
the club's famous lemon pepper wings.
Following some high-profile concerns,
including statements from San Antonio Spurge Center,
Luke Cornett, as well as Warrior Center
and former Hawks player Al Horford,
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has decided to intervene
forcing the Hawks to strip the promotion.
The Hawks did issue a statement in response,
expressing their disappointment in the league's decision.
Some fans as well expressed their extreme disappointment
in the cancellation, presumably on account of the chicken wings and absolutely no other reason.
Ti, by the way, is still performing.
A Pixar executive explained why the animation studio removed a gay storyline from one of their
recent films. Daily Wire Entertainment reporter Amanda Harding has the story.
Just before Pixar celebrated their first big win of the year at the box office with Hoppers,
chief creative officer Peter Doctor explained why the company cut a gay storyline from their film
Elio last year.
The original narrative included tidbits about former director Adrian Molina's experience growing up gay,
with the Hollywood reporter calling the character, quote, queer coded.
But doctors said the studio changed it because parents weren't necessarily ready to have those discussions with their young children.
He said, quote, we're making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.
As time's gone on, I realized my job is to make sure the film's appeal to everybody.
And the Tennessee community came out to support a U.S. Navy veteran with no known
family who was laid to rest today in Nashville. Lonnie D. Weyman received full military honors
at the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery this morning. Organizers say Wayman had no identified
relatives and urged members of the public to attend ensuring he is not buried alone. And the
community definitely came through with hundreds showing up. A few of us went and it was pretty
amazing. The ceremony honored his service to the nation with the dignity and respect every veteran
deserves. Those are your drive home updates this evening. To learn more about these
stories, go to dailywire.com. And in case you missed it earlier today, we covered some major
stories, including the FBI raiding the homes of two ISIS-inspired men in New York City,
the price of oil surging over the Iran conflict, and the Iranian women's soccer team making
a bold stand for freedom. Thanks for tuning in. We'll be back tomorrow morning with another
full edition of Morning Wire.
