The US Learns of a new Iranian assassination plot against Trump. Tyler Robinson's alleged confession note was accidentally broadcast live in court, and dozens of poisonous snakes were released into an already devastating flood in China. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, July 10th, and this is Evening Wire.

[News Anchor]

The US has been given specific intelligence that Iran has developed a new plot to assassinate President Trump. Foreign affairs reporter Kasiakiva has more on that and the Iran conflict.

[John Bickley]

President Trump says he has left instructions for a massive military response if Iran succeeds in assassinating him. Trump told the New York Post that he's been on Iran's target list, quote, for a long time and said that he's ordered the US to, quote, literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before, and if anything happens to him. The comments come after threats against Trump are prominently displayed during the funeral ceremonies of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, including banners reading, quote, we will kill Trump. The president said today that Iran has asked to continue negotiations with the United States, though he added that he considers the ceasefire over.

[Georgia Howe]

The note, investigators say, reveals that Tyler Robinson confessed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, was inadvertently broadcast live in court Thursday. Culture reporter Megan Basham has the latest.

[Megan Basham]

Lance Twigs, the trans identifying former boyfriend of Robinson, told investigators that he received a text after Kirk was shot telling him to look under his keyboard where he found a confession note. It read, in part, quote, if you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission and sent an auto text. I. I am likely dead or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I took it. Images of the note have been barred from being broadcast by Judge Graf, but accidentally aired Thursday before he intervened. Meanwhile, Graf has sparked some controversy by delaying his decision on whether Robinson will go to trial until September. Kirk's close friend and business partner, Andrew Colvitt, slammed the decision, saying that Kirk's family and friends have, quote, a right to a speedy disposition of the charges, free from unwarranted delay caused by or at the behest of the defendant.

The state of Texas's new anti DEI college crackdown may have its first target Reporter Jenny Terre has the Daily Wire exclusive.

[Jenny Terre]

An office launched by the state of Texas to investigate banned diversity, equity and inclusion practices at universities has launched its first investigation, according to a complaint obtained by the Daily Wire. The probe centers on a complaint filed by a former student at Stephen F. Austin State University who alleges that the school is operating a, quote, shadow DEI program in violation of state law. The complaint also alleges that university employees, quote, discriminate against conservatives and those that they perceive do not support DEI or leftist political beliefs. The state launched the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Office of the Ombudsman last year to serve as a watchdog for universities to ensure they're not violating anti DEI laws. The office can push to withhold state funding from schools found to have violated state law that have failed to address the issues.

It seems the UK is also struggling lately with suitable candidates in their elections as Nigel Farage seeks a new parliamentary seat. His sole opponent, Count Bin Face reporter Drew Berkmeyer, has the details.

[Drew Berkmeyer]

Farage, leader of the surging Reform UK Party, stepped down Tuesday from his parliamentary seat after an investigation was opened into whether he improperly disclosed financial gifts from wealthy donors. Farage is rerunning for his seat to represent Clacton on sea in Parliament, telling the press that winning again would be a mandate from his voters. That decision, however, has left Farage facing perhaps the most unconventional opponent imaginable, Count Benface. The Count is a, quote, intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons, an alien species hailing from the planet Sigma 9. The satirical candidate is portrayed by comedian John Harvey and has become something of a fixture in British politics after repeatedly running against prime ministers and other high profile politicians, all while wearing a silver cape and an oversized trash can helmet. His opening words to the Reform UK leader were, quote, game on Nige.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised to pursue legal measures against the US following the fatal shooting of a Mexican national by an ICE agent in Houston. She said Mexico's response would go beyond a diplomatic protest, saying officials are preparing measures over the shooting and the deaths of other Mexican nationals while in ICE custody. Contributor Tim Pierce has more.

[Tim Pierce]

Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said the Mexican government will be requesting that the incidents be investigated as criminal matters. He said the government will also file civil lawsuits against private companies operating in immigration detention centers. Lorenzo salgado araujo, a 52 year old construction worker and father of three, was shot and killed Tuesday during an encounter with ICE agents in Houston after picking up members of his work crew. His family claims he would have complied if the agents had been clearly identified, but DHS disputes that, saying he attempted to evade arrest and weaponized his vehicle by attempting to run over an ICE agent who fired in self defense.

A 61 year old man survived being partially sucked out of an airplane window on Friday, shortly after a Malta Air flight took off from Greece. One of the passenger windows shattered. The man in the seat next to it was sucked out up to his shoulders. His wife managed to hold onto his legs for as long as five minutes before other passengers were able to help pull him back in.

New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani is getting big blowback after he posted a map that highlighted 30 immigrant neighborhoods in the city that failed to include Little Italy or Little Ireland. But he did include Little Yemen, Little Palestine and Little Bangladesh. Little Italy has been a cultural landmark since the 1880s, established long before many of the other neighborhoods Mamandani honored. In addition to being around for much longer, the famous Italian neighborhood in Lower Manhattan is also one of the most visited, consistently included in Top Things to See in New York. Mamdani's Office of Immigrant affairs has since removed the map, but a series of illustrations of immigrant enclaves remain, and Little Italy and Little Ireland are still conspicuously
