FBI Director Christopher Wray called for the restoration of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act‚ which permits the federal government to gather communications from non-Americans overseas on U.S.-based platforms‚ but which has also been abused in the past to monitor American citizens.The much-scrutinized law is up for renewal but failed to pass a key hurdle Wednesday amid internal debate among Republicans about adding adequate protections against future abuse of the law.Wray‚ speaking to Congress‚ cited his immediate concern being individuals or small groups [who] will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home.But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland‚ akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago‚ Wray added.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has pointed out how FISA has been used successfully to combat dangers to the U.S.:Section 702-acquired information revealed: Insights that have informed the U.S. Governments understanding of the Chinese origins of a chemical used to synthesize fentanyl; foreign actors illicit plans to smuggle methamphetamine across the U.S. border; the quantities and potency of drugs‚ including fentanyl‚ destined for illegal transfer to the United States‚ as well as specific smuggling techniques used to avoid detection; and a foreign narcotics traffickers purchase of a vast quantity of pills for transfer to the United States. Section 702-acquired information has been used to identify multiple foreign ransomware attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. This intelligence positioned the U.S. Government to respond to and mitigate these events‚ and in some instances prevent significant attacks on U.S. networks.Section 702-acquired information related to sanctioned foreign adversaries was used in U.S. Government efforts to stop weapons of mass destruction components from reaching foreign actors. Section 702 has identified threats to U.S. troops and disrupted planned terrorist attacks at home and abroad‚ and contributed to the successful operation against Ayman al-Zawahiri in 2022.Though information gained from Section 702 has played a key role in national security efforts‚ it has also come under heavy fire from those concerned about its potential use to gather information on American citizens. The most notorious incident involved then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 when intelligence gained from Section 702 was used to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.Trump encouraged House Republicans this week to oppose reinstating FISA. KILL FISA‚ IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!! he wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday afternoon.Nineteen House Republicans blocked the procedural measure to bring the matter to a vote on Wednesday. Critics of the bill said the revisions spearheaded by Republicans were not enough to ensure that the law isnt abused going forward.House Speaker Mike Johnson said after the vote Wednesday‚ We will regroup and reformulate another plan. We cannot allow Section 702 of FISA to expire. Its too important to national security.We have to strike the balance government always does. You have to jealously guard the fundamental liberty of American people‚ Johnson added. You protect the liberty‚ but at the same time‚ you got to protect your security. And we cant allow a critical tool like this to just expire and go out of use.9/11 Families United‚ an organization representing the families of 9/11 victims‚ stated‚ It is our belief that the failure to renew Section 702 would be detrimental to American national security and would put Americans at risk of new terrorist attacks.

An economist at the Federal Reserve reportedly said that the U.S. Central Bank worked against former President Donald Trump and is prepared to do so again.Aurel Hizmo‚ a principal economist at the Federal Reserve‚ was reportedly caught on a hidden camera sting by a self-proclaimed guerilla journalist from James OKeefes OKeefe Media Group (OMG). An OMG swiper interviewed Hizmo across several pseudo-dates that the swiper went on with the Fed economist.Over the course of the dates‚ Hizmo said he believes Trump is a crazy person that the Fed needs to keep in check when he messes up. Hizmo also suggested that Fed chairman Jerome Powell hates the former president and wants to be remembered as someone who held the line against Trump.Trump is just a crazy person‚ Hizmo told his date. Its very clear. I mean‚ hes a dumb guy.Trump and Powell hated each other‚ according to Hizmo. On the other hand‚ Powell has a good relationship with President Joe Biden and his administration‚ he said.Hizmo stated that Powell is motivated by a desire to preserve his legacy as a savior.[Powell] is doing it for the legacy. He wants to be remembered in history as somebody who held the line against‚ like‚ Trump and helped the economy out of COVID‚ Hizmo said on hidden camera. Theres all kinds of stuff that comes to his desk that he says‚ No‚ because this is going to jeopardize the legacy of the Fed or my legacy as chair.Trump nominated Powell to lead the Federal Reserve in 2017. Hizmo suggested that Powell used his authority as the chairman of the U.S. Central Bank to curb Trumps deregulatory agenda. Hizmo suggested to his date that Powell and the Federal Reserve are willing to act again should Trump win the White House in 2024.So the feeling is this: we dont want Trump to be in the government‚ but if he comes‚ were still going to try to the best we can for the country‚ Hizmo said to his date. Now‚ if he messes up‚ if he does something stupid‚ then we have to fix it.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPHizmo explained: So‚ he‚ like‚ removed a lot of regulations and stripped that‚ and made that entity really weak so now the Fed has to be like oh we have to kind of‚ like‚ do something more to regulate The Fed economist went on to say that Powell generally has a good relationship with Democrats because Powell is responsive.Like under Powell‚ the Fed has changed to think about equity issues‚ like racial issues‚ think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate‚ as part of the things we are following‚ think about climate change‚ Hizmo said in the OMG undercover video.BREAKING‚ INSIDE THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powells legacy as somebody who held the line against like‚ Trump.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) got testy with Fox Business Reporter Hillary Vaughn over a question about a rally in her home district where anti-Israel protesters chanted Death to America and called for the eradication of Israel.The rally in question‚ which took place in Dearborn‚ Michigan‚ featured a speaker named Tarek Bazzi‚ who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute. He said: We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why dont we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America. Because its the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.Attendees at the rally responded to him by shouting‚ Death to America! and Death to Israel!Vaughn approached Tlaib in a hallway on Capitol Hill‚ asking several times whether She would respond to the chants. At first‚ the Michigan Congresswoman said she wouldnt talk to anyone from Fox.WATCH:Rep. Rashida Tlaib lost it at Fox Business'; @hillary__vaughn who asked if she condemns the ";death to America"; chants at a rally in her district.The White House condemned the chants in a statement to @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/h00Vss0DLa Nicole Silverio (@NicoleMSilverio) April 11‚ 2024Congresswoman Tlaib Vaughn began‚ but Tlaib interrupted before she could even get the question out.I dont talk to Fox News! I dont talk to Fox News! she insisted.At a rally in your district Vaughn tried again‚ but Tlaib pushed back.Im not talking to Fox News.‚ she said again.People were chanting death to America. Do you condemn? Vaughn asked. I do not talk to Fox News‚ Tlaib repeated.But do you condemn chants of death to America? Vaughn asked once more. I dont talk to people that use racist tropes‚ Tlaib said then‚ suggesting that Vaughns network was guilty of that.Vaughn pressed again‚ asking‚ Why cant you just say whether or not you condemn But Tlaib interrupted her again‚ saying‚ Because I dont talk to Fox News. people chanting death to America?'; Vaughn completed her thought‚ then asked‚ Why are you afraid to talk to Fox?CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPFox News is not nice‚ Tlaib claimed. Listen‚ using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about and I dont talk to Fox News.Vaughn tried one more tack‚ noting that some might see the death to America chants as racist.Is death to America racist? Is chanting death to America racist? she asked.Never talk to Fox News‚ Tlaib said again‚ adding‚ Im talking about your guyss racist tropes. You know‚ you guys are you guys know exactly what you do. And I know youre Islamophobic‚ but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own selves‚ not going to use me.

Speaking to the Christian Broadcasting Network‚ House Speaker Mike Johnson stood up staunchly for his Christian faith and the idea that the U.S. is spiritually in a battle of worldviews.Johnson noted the sometimes fractious nature of the Republican Party‚ pointing out‚ Democrats typically tend to think more kind of like a union‚ they sort of stick together‚ theyre more monolithic. They move as a herd. Theyre more kind of social animals.Republicans‚ by contrast‚ are rugged individualists‚ he offered. You know‚ we care deeply about our core principles and our philosophy‚ and were not easily moved. And thats a great blessing usually‚ but when youre trying to keep all those cats together and move in the same direction with a one-vote majority‚ it sometimes presents challenges.Johnson spoke of the challenge of facing a monolithic Democrat Party that controls the White House and Senate while Republicans cling precariously to a one-vote majority in the House‚ saying‚ What some of my colleagues will privately admit‚ but not always publicly‚ is they understand that we have the biggest challenge thats ever been presented to the Congress. I have virtually zero leverage to be able to negotiate and get a better package. Weve got to demonstrate to the American people that we can keep the train on the tracks‚ and so pulling a motion to vacate or removing a Speaker right now is exactly the opposite of what we need to show the country.Speaking of the harsh criticism he has received in the media for his devout Christian faith‚ he said‚ I try to follow all the biblical admonitions as I do every day. One of them says you bless those who persecute you. Im getting a lot of practice in that right now and that is‚ A soft word turns away wrath.Weve been mocked and I mean mercilessly in the press‚ he asserted. Theyve tried to attack me and my family my wife and children. And look‚ were undaunted by it. I mean that is going to happen if you stand for truth.CBN asked Johnson if he viewed America in spiritual warfare terms.I do‚ he answered bluntly. I mean‚ if youre a Christian‚ thats how you understand these things. Were really in a battle of worldviews right now. Its not even a battle between Republicans and Democrats anymore. Its two competing visions over what kind of nation we are‚ who we are as a people remember Marxism‚ communism‚ socialism are grounded in the belief that there is no Creator‚ there is no God. And thats the essence. Thats the foundation of their belief.That is not who we are.

Former President Donald Trump‚ who is running another campaign for the White House‚ demanded this week that funding be cut from National Public Radio (NPR) after a longtime NPR editor accused the network of espousing left-wing bias.NO MORE FUNDING FOR NPR‚ A TOTAL SCAM! EDITOR SAID THEY HAVE NO REPUBLICANS‚ AND IS ONLY USED TO DAMAGE TRUMP. THEY ARE A LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE. NOT ONE DOLLAR!!! Trump said in a post to Truth Social on Wednesday.The Free Press published anop-ed on Tuesday in which NPR Senior Business Editor Uri Berliner argued NPR lost Americas trust with its increasingly liberal bent. Despite his critique‚ Berliner said defunding was not the way to address the missteps he outlined.As the country becomes more fractured‚ theres still a need for a public institution where stories are told and viewpoints exchanged in good faith. Defunding‚ as a rebuke from Congress‚ wouldnt change the journalism at NPR. That needs to come from within‚ he said.Multiple times during his presidency‚ Trump proposed reining in funding for public media‚ but Congress did not take him up on the cuts. If he is re-elected this year‚ that could change. As noted in a POLITICO report after the House blocked the advancement of a FISA bill that Trump opposed‚ the former president is tightening his stranglehold on the congressional GOPs policy agenda.When NPR ditched Twitter (now X) last year after being slapped with labels linking it to the U.S. government‚ the network insisted it receives less than 1 percent of its $300 million annual budget from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Still‚ on its website‚ NPR says federal funding is essential and that ending it would result in fewer programs‚ less journalism especially local journalismand eventually the loss of public radio stations‚ particularly in rural and economically distressed communities.In his op-ed‚Berliner talked about how the rise of advocacy took off when Trump got elected to the White House in the 2016 election when he defeated Hillary Clinton.As in many newsrooms‚ his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief‚ anger‚ and despair. (Just to note‚ I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly)‚ Berliner said. But what began as tough‚ straightforward coverage of a belligerent‚ truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trumps presidency.Berliner discussed how NPR interviewed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) dozens of times‚ during which he often spoke about there being evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia‚ but the network offered up notably sparse coverage when Robert Muellers special counsel report released in 2019 found no credible evidence of collusion and let Russiagate fade from its programming.It is one thing to swing and miss on a major story. Unfortunately‚ it happens‚ Berliner said. You follow the wrong leads‚ you get misled by sources you trusted‚ youre emotionally invested in a narrative‚ and bits of circumstantial evidence never add up. Its bad to blow a big story.The editor shared an anecdote about the Hunter Biden laptop story‚ which emerged prior to the 2020 election‚ saying it was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched. During a meeting with colleagues‚ I listened as one of NPRs best and most fair-minded journalists said it was good we werent following the laptop story because it could help Trump.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPBerliner also said he found 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans working editorial positions in D.C.‚ where NPR is headquartered‚ but when he shared the data in a staff meeting and suggested there was a diversity problem‚ the response wasnt hostile. It was worse. It was met with profound indifference.NPR Editor-in-Chief Edith Chapin released a statement saying that she and her colleagues on the leadership team strongly disagree with Uris assessment of the quality of our journalism and the integrity of our newsroom processes. She also said‚ Were proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories.

President Joe Biden is losing the support of black men at an alarming rate‚ according to a Wall Street Journal poll of seven swing states.The 2024 election poll released last week surveyed voters in Arizona‚ Georgia‚ Michigan‚ Nevada‚ North Carolina‚ Pennsylvania‚ and Wisconsin‚ all states widely viewed as toss-ups heading into November. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that one major finding in the poll showed that Bidens support among black men in the swing states is 30 points lower than the 2020 elections national results.In the poll‚ 57% of black men supported Biden‚ while 30% said they backed former President Trump. This is a drastic shift from 2020 when 87% of black men voted for Biden‚ and only 12% voted for Trump‚ according to the VoteCast national poll.The WSJ poll found that Bidens support among black women remained high‚ but it was significantly lower than just four years ago. In 2020‚ 93% of black women across the country voted for Biden‚ but in the poll‚ Bidens support among the demographic in the battleground states sits at 77%‚ while Trumps numbers among black women were higher‚ from the 6% he received nationally in 2020 to 11% in the swing states poll.Adrianne Shropshire‚ head of Democratic political action committee BlackPAC‚ told the Wall Street Journal that the apparent shift in black support away from Biden means that Democrats must revamp their 2020 strategy of reaching out to black voters.In this particular election‚ the persuasion isnt just to vote or not to vote‚ said Shropshire. The persuasion is actually to get people to come to Biden and away from third parties and away from Trump.The WSJ poll also found that while black women are less likely than black men to ditch their support of Biden in favor of Trump‚ they are more likely to explore third-party options or stay home altogether.Commenting on the WSJ poll results‚ a spokesman for the Trump campaign told WSJ‚ Our coalition message to black and Hispanic communities this election is simple: If you want strong borders‚ safe neighborhoods‚ rising wages‚ quality jobs‚ school choice and the return of the strongest economy in over 60 years‚ then vote for Donald J. Trump.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPMichael Bocian‚ a Democratic pollster who conducted the WSJ poll‚ said that in many election cycles‚ black voters at first appear cold to the Democratic nominee before coming around and voting blue in November.That said‚ Biden is further off than where we have seen Democrats in the past‚ Bocian remarked.Biden was blasted during the 2020 campaign when he said that black voters aint black if they were considering backing Trump. The Democratic candidate later apologized for his comment‚ saying‚ I shouldnt have been such a wise guy.

A star basketball player at the University of Illinois was suspended after a woman accused him of sexual assault‚ but the school has now dropped its own investigation into the athlete.Terrence Shannon Jr. was suspended from the Illinois basketball team after he was charged with rape in Kansas‚ the Associated Press reported earlier this year. Shannon successfully lobbied a U.S. District Court judge to overturn the suspension and allow him to start playing again‚ and now the university has ended its attempt to discipline the athlete‚ citing a lack of evidence.Shannon was charged with rape on December 5 by prosecutors in Douglas County‚ Kansas‚ after a woman claimed that he put his hands under her skirt and violated her. The alleged incident occurred on September 9‚ 2023‚ while Shannon and a teammate were at a bar after attending Illinois football game against Kansas. The woman claimed Shannon whom she identified after searching the schools online basketball team roster called her over and then grabbed her buttocks before reaching under her skirt to touch her sexually‚ the AP reported.A graduate assistant for the basketball team assigned to drive Shannon and his teammate to Kansas and chaperone them said he was near Shannon the entire night in question and never saw anything the woman described in her allegations‚ the AP report noted.After the charges were filed‚ the University of Illinois suspended Shannon from the team‚ and he missed six games. Judge Colleen Lawless ruled on January 19 that the university had violated Shannons civil rights and deprived him of his protected property interests by suspending him without due process. She noted that Shannon was supporting several family members and his suspension jeopardized his chances of being one of the first players to be drafted by the NBA and to make money through endorsements allowed by the NCAAs name‚ image‚ and likeness policy.Plaintiffs participation in sports is vital to the development of his career as well as his current and future economic opportunities considering plaintiffs intention to declare for the 2024 NBA Draft‚ Lawless wrote in her ruling‚ the AP reported. Prior to his suspension‚ plaintiff was projected to be a lottery pick in the NBA. His participation in future games impact his prospects in the draft and his earning potential.On April 5‚ Illinois sent a memo to Shannon‚ his accuser‚ and university officials stating that it would not follow through on disciplinary proceedings against the star player. a determination was made that the evidence available to [the Office for Student Conflict Resolution] at this time is not sufficient to allow a reasonable hearing panel to find [Shannon] in violation of the Student Code sections identified in the allegation notice‚ the schools director of its Office for Student Conflict Resolution wrote. For example‚ access to the complainant‚ the complainants witness and the complete Lawrence Police Department file was not available to the investigator.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPThe complainant has not indicated an intent to participate in a hearing before a hearing panel at this time‚ the school administrator continued. As a result‚ the process has concluded‚ charges have been dropped‚ and no disciplinary action will be taken against [Shannon] at this time.The school did‚ however‚ say that it may bring disciplinary proceedings against Shannon should new substantial evidence come to light.Shannon still faces charges in Kansas. His attorney gave a statement to ABC 7 in December saying Shannon is innocent.Since September‚ when these allegations surfaced‚ Terrence has cooperated with law enforcement throughout the investigation‚ declaring his innocence from the beginning‚ the attorney said. Now‚ several months later‚ my office learned that formal charges were filed against him [in December] in Lawrence‚ KS. In less than 24 hours‚ my client responded‚ and he voluntarily surrendered to local authorities for processing and release. Terrence is innocent of these charges‚ and he intends to take his case to trial.Shannons team was ranked 14th in the nation and second in the Big Ten conference‚ with Shannon averaging 21.7 points per game‚ according to the AP.

Instagram will start automatically blurring nude photos sent via private messaging for account holders younger than 18‚ per an announcement from its parent company‚ Meta.In addition to blurring images containing nudity‚ the popular social media platform will prompt users to think twice before sending nude images. The app will also show a notification to adult users‚ encouraging them to turn the feature on for their accounts.The new feature is likely a response to increased public pressure from critics who say social media companies should be doing more to protect children from online harm. Meta also said the feature would help protect minors from sextortion‚ or the practice of scammers sending nude images to children in an effort to get them to send photos back.While people overwhelmingly use DMs to share what they love with their friends‚ family or favorite creators‚ sextortion scammers may also use private messages to share or ask for intimate images‚ Meta shared Thursday in a blog post.The new feature will make it so any images containing nudity will be automatically blurred‚ and a prompt will ask the user if theyd like to view it.Well also show them a message encouraging them not to feel pressure to respond‚ with an option to block the sender and report the chat‚ Meta said.The company also said severe action is taken against any platform users who are determined to be engaging in sextortion. The users have their accounts removed and steps are taken to prevent them from making new profiles‚ Meta said. If warranted‚ the user may also be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and local authorities.Meta also said it has increased the data it shares with Lantern‚ an online child safety program.Metas proposed device-side safety measures within its encrypted environment is encouraging‚ John Shehan‚ SVP at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children‚ said in a statement provided by Meta. We are hopeful these new measures will increase reporting by minors and curb the circulation of online child exploitation.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPThe move comes after Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg attended Senate hearings in January‚ which included testimonies from families of victims who experienced abuse online. Im sorry for everything youve all gone through. Nobody should have to go through what your families have suffered‚ Zuckerberg said at the time‚ as The Daily Wire previously reported. This is why we have invested so much and are going to continue industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things your families have suffered.

Adapted from Crain &;amp; Co.‚ April 11‚ 2024.Jake: The 2024 Masters begins today. Love him or hate him‚ Tiger Woods is the most impactful player to his sport in my lifetime and possibly ever. Theres a good argument there. And if this weekend is his last go around at the Masters‚ and regardless of how well he plays or if he makes the cut‚ I am just thankful I got to be around to watch his rise‚ his fall‚ and his rise again.Never before have I seen one man make a whole sport cool around the globe. He completely changed the way the game is played. He played the villain and the hero‚ made incredibly clutch shots in huge moments‚ and overcame adversity time and time again.Growing up in our house‚ I loved watching Tiger and my father loved rooting against him because of his on the course antics. He was a little bit different in the way that he handled himself. But it didnt matter how you felt about Tiger Woods: You were going to watch him. And thats the most important thing. We saw him make grown men melt in front of our eyes‚ and he took over the sporting world over and over.Has Tiger made some questionable choices in his past? Without a doubt. But that is all part of whats been the Tiger Woods Experience. And unfortunately‚ we will never see someone do what he has done in the game of golf again‚ or maybe any other sport. But in golf‚ they dont have to be concerned because Tigers already elevated the sport so much‚ from one poll to the other‚ that golf is here to stay in the forefront for the long haul.WATCH: Crain &;amp; Company on DailyWire+In the discussion of the most impactful player to their sport‚ no other players impact on the game of golf compares to Tigers and the way he elevated the sport in every aspect. (I emphasize player because the most impactful person to their sport is the person who invented it because without that‚ none of this would even be possible.) But is there anybody thats been more impactful than Tiger?David: Well‚ no. Now‚ he may not be the greatest athlete of all time. For example‚ Wayne Gretzky‚ who we mentioned earlier this week‚ is just head and shoulders above everyone who has ever played hockey. But if youre going to use the word impactful‚ then it would have to be Tiger Woods.It just so happens that when Tiger was coming around and dominating‚ we were of the age we were interested and able to see his career unfold. Thats always going to be a part of our upbringing. But to prove his impact‚ you can look at the data when it comes to the sport. And I think hes one of the first billionaire athletes as well‚ certainly the first billionaire golfer.We should be thankful that hes going to be competing in this Masters. I dont know how well he will do‚ and I dont know if hell make the cut though his odds did improve overnight. They were +12‚000 Wednesday and +10‚000 today (Thursday). But it was just February 2021 when Tiger got in his car accident and people wondered if he would ever even walk again. And now‚ hes going to be walking the greens at Augusta National this week. So for that‚ we should be thankful.Jake: Blaine‚ is Tiger going to win? Is he going to make the cut?Blaine: When it comes to the Masters‚ you just want to be close. You want to be in shooting range on Sunday where you can make a run. And I dont think people realize how dominant Tiger was during his run. Looking at stats‚ for Scottie Scheffler to catch Tigers total weeks spent at number one‚ he would need to be at the top every week for 12 years and three days.Jake: Well‚ enjoy your pimento cheese sandwiches‚ fathers and sons‚ and lets see if Tiger can go on the prowl once again in Augusta.* * *Jake Crain is co-host ofCrain &;amp; Company‚the Daily Wires sports show hosted by former athletes and coaches Jake Crain‚ Blain Crain‚ and David Cone.
