President Trump responds to the storming of Spain by thousands of Moroccans, Maine Democrats have a new scandal on their hands, and eBay loses a $50 million lawsuit after sending journalists live spiders in the mail. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley. It's Friday, July 31st, and this is Evening Wire. President Trump issued a stark warning to the U.S. after tens of thousands of African migrants stormed across the Moroccan border into a Spanish territory on Thursday. The president told Fox this morning, quote, it's terrible. Remember that picture that's going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in. Trump's comments come after a massive wave of migrants poured into the Spanish territory of Suta on the tip of Morocco. That's brought widespread chaos and unrest to the city. At least 34 people have died so far as thousands of migrants, mostly young men, attempted to swim or force their way in. The migrants brought chaos to the streets of Suda, causing fear among locals who are overwhelmed by the flood. President Trump left Washington today to hold a cabinet meeting at Camp David, the first at the presidential retreat of Trump's second term. At this cabinet meeting, the president had a lot of complaints. He took aim at Republican senators for holding up the confirmation of his attorney general pick, Todd Blanche. Don't forget, Senator Carter thought he was phenomenal until he lost. Is that a correct statement? You come from Texas. And he thought this was the most incredible person. And when he lost, he lost because of me. I endorsed somebody else. Trump also had harsh words for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, whose own political career has reeled after extensive fraud networks were found in his state. But today, Trump blamed Walls for a massive cyber attack that hit dozens of water plants across the state. You know what's behind it? Minnesota, because they're grossly incompetent. I think the governor's reality. I don't think there was an Iranian cyber attack. I think that... Minnesota ought to get its act together. It's one of the worst run states. J.D. will tell you. He found tremendous corruption in Minnesota. And the president also vented about Iran and the slow pace of negotiations to end the war. As an example, we'll talk about nuclear. And we'll be in there talking about nuclear for seven hours. I say, why do you need seven? You can take 10 minutes. You have five minutes. You should solve it. But seven hours. And then they'll go out. And I'll say they discuss nuclear.
And they'll go out and they'll say, we never discussed no to you. And I say, why do they say? All they do is make me angry. Trump announced Thursday that negotiators have reached what he described as a historic agreement aimed at ending Hamas's control of Gaza, though the deal still awaits final approval from the terror group. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce reports. Trump posted, quote, Today the Board of Peace reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. He called it a monumental step toward lasting peace and security. The deal would pave the way for Gaza to be governed by a new Palestinian government, working alongside the Board of Peace. Axios reported Thursday that U.S. officials and the Board of Peace believe Hamas could formally sign the agreement within days after agreeing to its terms mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. But of course, Western and Israeli officials remain skeptical that Hamas will ultimately follow through with its commitments. I love killing Hamas leadership. That's what Senator John Fetterman unloaded on a reporter from radical outlet drop site news, claiming that the outlet was actively participating in a race to see who could be the most pro-Hamas. John Fetterman, when approached by a reporter in the Capitol Hill hallway, immediately asked him to identify which outlet he was representing. And upon learning that it was drop-site news, the Pennsylvania senator said this. I want your viewers to say how much I love to watch Israel eliminating the Hamas leadership. Then you may like this question. I know that upsets a lot of your viewers and a lot of your founders, but I think it's a great thing. The question is, where does your trash outlet come from and who's funding it? And now, if you think, if you think your founders, your founders think it's appropriate to attack and kill Israeli civilians. That should be the news overall. The man Democrats installed to replace Graham Platner as a Senate candidate in Maine has two children with his second cousin. That's according to genealogical records first reported by journalist Steve Robinson. Troy Jackson and his partner Lana Peltier share the same great-grandparents. While Maine law prohibits marriages between first cousins without additional statutory requirements, it places no restrictions on second cousins marrying or having children. Genetic experts generally consider second-cous relationships as presenting no meaningful increase in the risk of inherited disorders. Jackson now faces incumbent Susan Collins in a race viewed as critical to the battle for Senate control.

The judge in the case acknowledged the difficulty of sentencing a crime of negligence. rather than one of intent, but told the father, quote, it is quite clear you failed as a parent. The ruling came just days after 16-year-old Colton Gray received life in prison without the possibility of parole. One of America's most wanted fugitives has been arrested after two decades under a new identity.

He disappeared before the proceedings concluded, but a jury later convicted him of first-degree sexual assault in his absence. Shares for Emick's Biopharma fell roughly 10% after news of Fisher's arrest with investors investigating if the company failed to properly vet him. A Michigan father has been vindicated in court after his son's middle school barred him from campus. Daily Wire Associate producer Justice Puehler has more. A federal judge in Michigan has ruled that a school district likely violated a father's First Amendment rights after banning him from campus for criticizing pride flags displayed at his son's middle school. The dispute began after Gary Shane Pruitt recorded and posted a video calling the flags, quote, political and divisive. In response, the district barred him from school property and even posted his photo in the school office, branding him as a forbidden trespasser. Judge Robert White said the video was protected political speech, not a true threat. and ordered the district to lift the ban, remove Pruitt's photo, and stop any further retaliation while the lawsuit moves forward. A new Daily Wire investigation uncovered more alarming details from the pro-trans organization W-Path. Investigative reporter Meg Brock has the story.
Messages from the W-Path Online Member Forum show members working to cure female prisoners of their supposed internalized transphobia to allow male convicts into their spaces. Michelle Webb, a gender-affirming program administrator for the Washington State Department of Corrections, suggested female inmates have open and fraying discussions with trained staff to better understand the needs of men wanting to, quote, live their authentic lives in women's prisons. W-Path's medical guidance, the Standards of Care Version 8. has been cited in multiple lawsuits demanding prison systems, implement policies that affirm gender ideology, and provide gender-affirming health care. Amy Chikawa, co-founder of the nonprofit Women to Women, told the Daily Wire that trans activists had treated female inmates as support animals, forcing them to cater to, quote, the fleeting feelings of male inmates who identify as women. And executives from eBay have lost a decade-long court battle after it was proven that they sent journalists, live spiders, cockroaches, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of one's spouse, and other distressing artifacts. These items were all sent to the home of journalists David and Ina Steiner by eBay executives in a bizarre response to their newsletter e-commerce bites, which unveiled to readers some of the harmful practices that Amazon and eBay allegedly maintain. While the packages were meant to scare the signers into silence, the couple instead sued. And after a decade in the courts, they've won their case. This week, eBay agreed to pay the Steiner's nearly $50 million. This comprises $46.15 million from eBay itself and $2 million from former CEO Devin Wenig and another $500,000 from two other top executives. So this went all the way to the top.
