I'm Daily Wire, editor-in-chief John Bickley, with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, September 12th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update. Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced today that the House will proceed with an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. We were gone in the weeks. House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's conduct. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of people. corruption. Now here's what we know so far. Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign

business dealings. I do not make this decision lightly. And regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all Americans. The American people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale. A Pennsylvania inmate who escaped nearly two weeks ago is now considered armed and extremely dangerous after police say he stole a rifle from a homeowner's garage.

This morning, Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens said that a homeowner fired several shots at Calvocante when the prisoner stole a rifle from the residence garage. Police do not believe Calvacante was injured in the shootout and was believed to be in Chester County's South Coventry Township as of Monday night. As a reminder, we ask for the public's help by familiarizing themselves with the updated photographs and description of Cabalcante to check security. cameras they have and to call us immediately if they believe they may have seen him.

Again, we ask residents to please secure homes, outbuildings, and vehicles. Now police say that 500 law enforcement officers are searching for Cavalcante.

President Biden faced a wave of backlash on social media after he falsely claimed to have visited Ground Zero in New York City one day after the terrorist attacks on September 11th. 2001. Daily Wire reporter, Zach Jewell, has more. In delivering remarks to U.S. troops in Alaska on the 22nd anniversary of 9-11, Biden stressed the phrase never forget before speaking of lives being taken too soon when evil attacked. He then brought up New York City, where hijackers

crashed planes into the towers of the World Trade Center, killing more than 2,700 people. Browns here in New York, and I remember standing there the next day and looking at the buildings. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell. It looked so devastating because the way you could, from where you could stand. The president was not, in fact, standing at the side of the World Trade Center that next day. He was in Washington, D.C. The Biden administration has signed off on a deal to release five Iranian prisoners

and $6 billion in frozen assets in exchange for five Americans held captive in Iran. Here with more is Daily Wire researcher Trevor Mock. Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved the deal last week, and Congress was notified Monday as lawmakers and officials honored the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 terror attacks, according to the Associated Press. In exchange for the prisoners, the United States will issue a waiver for banks in South Korea and Qatar to allow Iran access to billions of dollars without fear of violating U.S. sanctions. The funds will be transferred to Qatar's central bank where the Iranian government can make requests to pay for humanitarian goods out of the account.

Personally, I don't hurt for me. I don't hurt for our locker room. I hurt for Aaron and how much he's invested in all of this. You know, so I'm still going to say prayer. I'm still going to hold out hope. but, you know, my heart's with Aaron right now and nowhere else.
