Barack Obama hits the trail in two big races. President Trump returns to 60 Minutes and new details emerge on a horrible string of stabbings in the UK I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, November 3rd, and this is Evening Wire.

Barack Obama hit the campaign trail in Virginia, pushing for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and standing on the same stage as scandal plagued AG nominee Jay Jones. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the details.
- [01:16]
Host/Anchor
With Election Day just hours away, President Obama stumped alongside Jones, who made headlines over resurfaced text messages in which he advocated for the assassination of then state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. Jones also suggested that Gilbert and his wife should have to watch one of their young children die. The former president spoke largely on Spanberger's behalf, claiming that she would faithfully represent all of Virginia and arguing that she would engage in civil discourse without name calling or demonization. Something Republicans said was ironic. Abigail doesn't just believe in working with everybody. She also believes, and this is really important in listening to everybody, whether they voted for her or not, because she knows that if we want to make progress on the things that we care about, we have to be able to disagree without calling each other nasty names or demonizing each other. President Trump says the ICE raids carried out by his administration have not gone far enough because they've been hampered by liberal judges. Speaking to 60 Minutes in an interview that aired Sunday, Trump was asked by CBS's Norah O' Donnell about accusations of ICE tear gassing neighborhoods and similar tactics.
- [02:24]
Georgia Howe
Have some of these raids gone too far?
- [02:26]
President Donald Trump
No, I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden, and by Obama.
- [02:35]
Georgia Howe
You're okay with those tactics.
- [02:36]
President Donald Trump
Yeah, because you have to get the people out. You know, you have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are people that were thrown out of their countries because they were, you know, criminals.

During that same interview, Trump had some choice words for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Venezuela in particular. Are Maduro's days as president numbered?
- [02:57]
President Donald Trump
I would say yeah, I think so, yeah.
- [02:59]
Georgia Howe
But asked about reports that he had looked at land targets in Venezuela to strike as part of his efforts to crack down on drug trafficking, the president had this to say.
- [03:07]
President Donald Trump
I'm not saying it's true or untrue, but I, you know, I wouldn't.
- [03:10]
Reporter
Why would you.
- [03:11]
President Donald Trump
I wouldn't be inclined to say that I would do that. But because I don't talk to a reporter about whether or not I'm going to strike. I'm not going to. You know, you're a wonderful reporter, you're very talented. But I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do with Venezuela. If I was going to do it or if I wasn't going to do it.

Reporter
Agents were attempting a U turn when their vehicle was struck.

A man has been charged in connection with the mass stabbing that occurred aboard a British train on Saturday. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Presto Giacomo has more.
- [04:21]
Reporter
Eleven people were injured, including nine who were treated for life threatening injuries and one person remains in critical condition. The most severely injured individual from the train attack is a trained staff member who reportedly ran toward the suspect and attempted to subdue him while other passengers fled. The suspect has been identified as 32 year old Anthony Williams. He says that he has no current home address. Williams is also suspected in connection with three other violent attacks that occurred in the preceding 24 hour period in Peterborough, England. Surveillance video from Friday night shows Williams drinking from what appears to be a flask before he storms into a Peterborough barbershop with a knife. The barbershop reported a second incident with the same individual on Saturday morning. A third incident, possibly linked to Williams as well, is the stabbing of a 14 year old in downtown Peterborough on Friday evening. The child was hospitalized with minor injuries and no arrests have been made. Authorities say there is no clear motive for the string of violence at this time.

As the government shutdown approaches a record breaking length, Democrats are urging President Trump to return to the negotiating table. Daily Wire Congressional reporter Amber Jo Cooper has the latest.

Congressional Reporter Amber Jo Cooper
Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, said on Face the Nation that lawmakers have reached an impasse and that ending the shutdown will require the active intervention of the president. With the shutdown now extending into November, attention has turned to food stamps, or SNAP benefits, which affect 42 million Americans. The Department of Agriculture announced this morning that it will tap into an emergency reserve fund to cover, quote, 50% of eligible households current allotments under the SNAP program. The program would cost roughly 9 billion to fund fully for the month. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant addressed SNAP funding with Jake Taffer on CNN this weekend.

Host/Anchor
The best way for SNAP benefits to get paid is for Democrats, five Democrats to cross the aisle and reopen the government.

Congressional Reporter Amber Jo Cooper
Senator John Fetterman, one of the dissenting voices on the Democrat side, urged his party to concede on the shutdown demands in order to get food assistance funded.
- [06:34]
Host/Anchor
I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we're shutting it down. I know why they claim because they want to address the tax credits. I do believe we can achieve these kinds of tax credits and this is something I support, but it's the wrong tactic.
- [06:50]
Congressional Reporter Amber Jo Cooper
The president has stated that he would only entertain a negotiation on health care once the shutdown is ended.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright has confirmed that upcoming U.S. nuclear weapons testing will not involve actual nuclear explosions. President Trump drew attention last week when he announced plans to resume the tests following reports of recent weapons systems tests in Russia and China. Here's Trump on 60 Minutes explaining his statement.
- [07:32]
Georgia Howe
Are you saying that after more than 30 years the United States is going to start detonating nuclear weapons?
- [07:39]
President Donald Trump
I'm saying that we're going to test nuclear weapons like other countries do.
- [07:42]
Georgia Howe
Yes, but the only country that's testing nuclear weapons is North Korea, China, Russia.
- [07:47]
President Donald Trump
No, no, no. Russia's testing nuclear weapons.
- [07:49]
Georgia Howe
My understanding.
- [07:49]
President Donald Trump
And China's testing them too. You just don't know about it.
- [07:52]
Host/Anchor
Secretary Wright, whose jurisdiction the testing falls under, says that the upcoming tests will focus on non explosive components of the weapons to assess their reliability and functionality. He emphasized that the goal is to ensure the integrity of the US Nuclear arsenal, much of which has been in storage for decades, without conducting full scale detonations. The US has not carried out a full nuclear weapons test since 1992.

Director Kash Patel mentioned the near attack late last week, which Fox News reports was tied to isis. Law enforcement has arrested two males and three others have been questioned, all of them between the ages of 16 and 20. This alleged plot was apparently uncovered because of online chat rooms. It's unclear how concrete the attack plans were at the time, though the suspects apparently made some cryptic references to Pumpkin Day. Law enforcement officials told CBS News that the potential attack was inspired by a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard. The Guardsman was arrested in May for allegedly planning an ISIS inspired attack against a military base in Detroit. No charges have been filed yet, but FBI agents have reportedly searched several houses in Dearborn, Michigan and a storage facility in nearby Inkster.
