Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and other Democrats continue to push false stories in order to claim the overturning of Roe v. Wade was a disaster. On Thursday, Warren posted an article on X that claimed 134 women become pregnant due to rape every day in America while blaming former President Donald Trump. “Every day, 134 women become pregnant by rape in states with total abortion bans, compelling many of them to carry forced pregnancies. It’s cruel beyond words,” Warren posted. “I want to be clear: Donald Trump did this.” Every day, 134 women become pregnant by rape in states with total abortion bans, compelling many of them to carry forced pregnancies. It’s cruel beyond words. I want to be clear: Donald Trump did this.https://t.co/aEiYbopqwS — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) October 17, 2024 The problem with the claim is that it’s not based on a real number. It’s an estimation that is arrived at by using multiple assumptions. The left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) article Warren references in her tweet makes this clear, even though its headline declares: “Trump Proclaims ‘I Killed Roe v. Wade’ as 134 Rape-Induced Pregnancies Occur Daily in Abortion Ban States.” The way they reach the absurd notion that 134 women are becoming pregnant through rape every day in states that have banned abortion is to take the number of reported rapes in those states and then find about 12% of the final number. The percentage was drawn from a separate study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that also estimated the lifetime risk of pregnancy amongst rape survivors to be 14.9%, but the study cited by CAP generously adjusted the number downward “to account for the difference between annual and lifetime rape-related pregnancy.” They then divided the number by the number of months since the abortion laws took effect and then divided again by the number of days in the months. They added these numbers up for each state to arrive at 134 rape pregnancies a day. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Even then, by CAP’s own admission, the number is too high since five of the 14 states included in the estimation include exceptions for rape. Those states were still included because fewer than 10 abortions have been performed in the state, so by CAP’s logic, this means it’s okay to add them to estimated rape figures. If those five states weren’t included, the daily number would be 115, but that’s still misleading. The study cited by CAP estimated there were “519,981 survivors of completed rape” in the 4 to 18 months that abortion bans were in place in each of the 14 states. That study – which was published in JAMA Internal Medicine by leftist researchers at Planned Parenthood, Resound Research for Reproductive Health, two colleges, and a Massachusetts health care network – estimated that of those 519,981 reported rapes, 64,565 women became pregnant, or about 12%. CNN and other outlets reported this misleading statistic in January. The notion of using reported rapes is also misleading since women face little to no consequences for falsely reporting rape, and just because something is reported doesn’t mean it has been proven true. The study’s lead author, Dr. Samuel Dickman of Planned Parenthood, also told CAP: “According to the CDC data we used, the estimated lifetime risk of pregnancy among survivors of rape is 14.9%. Our analysis conservatively adjusted the figure for survivors of rape downward to account for the difference between annual and lifetime rape-related pregnancy rates.” “The CDC data on rape incidence, on which we based our estimates, quantified the number of persons who reported rape over a 12-month period, which may involve multiple incidents during that time, e.g., in cases of rape by an intimate partner or family member, which represent the majority of rape incidents,” Dickman added, according to CAP. Dickman said the study used “an annual risk of rape-related pregnancy of 12.4% among rape survivors” instead of the CDC’s 14.9% to arrive at its estimations. So, no, 134 women are not becoming pregnant every day due to rape, it’s all based on hypothetical fearmongering.

“Gutfeld!” regular Tyrus — born George Murdoch — sat down with former President Donald Trump and took a moment as the interview began to apologize for not understanding before what made him tick. The former pro-wrestler — who once held the title of National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight Champion — told Trump that it wasn’t until the two appeared together on “Gutfeld!” that it truly clicked. WATCH: .@PlanetTyrus talks about how President Trump talked to his 10-year-old daughter for 20 minutes after they taped an episode of Gutfeld: "You could have been her grandfather. You were talking about her horses and dreams. I was sitting there and I was like 'I have been so wrong… pic.twitter.com/HHsmrb2FMi — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 18, 2024 “I actually owe you an apology before we start,” Tyrus began as he sat down across from the former president for his Maintaining with Tyrus podcast. “I’ve been very critical about you, how you fight.” “All through the campaigns — I voted for you because I like policy,” he said. “I didn’t know you as a man. And I think when you don’t understand what a man fights for, you can get lost — especially with all the noise we’re seeing from fake news, etc., that created these pictures of you.” Tyrus then painted a picture of the moments after “Gutfeld!” had wrapped the night they both appeared on the show together. “So, ‘Gutfeld!’ show is over. Cameras are off. We go backstage, and I expected you to be like every politician or any celebrity I’ve body-guarded for,” he continued. “And you met my family. And you talked to my daughter. My daughter is 10 years old, her name is Georgie. You guys talked for 20 minutes.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 But it wasn’t just the fact that Trump took the time to talk to his daughter, Tyrus said, noting that just how attentive he had been was something else entirely. “If nobody knew, you could have been her grandfather,” Tyrus exclaimed, adding, “You were talking about her horses and dreams. And I was sitting there and I was like ‘I have been so wrong about this man’ because I never understood why you fight the way you fight. You’re a family man.” “I am,” Trump agreed. “You’re a father,” Tyrus said. “And your daughter is a gorgeous — and your wife, the whole thing, you have got some set-up, I’ll tell you,” Trump said, prompting a laugh from Tyrus. “But your family’s great and you’re great, and you’ve really done something. You’ve captured a certain spirit. You know, a friend of mine who’s very smart — he’s also a very big guy — he said because I’m big and strong, people think I’m not the smartest guy.” That got an eye-roll from Tyrus, who added, “Oh, I know.” “You are a really smart guy,” Trump said of Tyrus. “And I see it and I’ve watched it and I like the show, and we have the privilege of having the highest rating in the history of the show when I did it a couple of weeks ago, that was —” “Of all time,” Tyrus corrected. “We beat network television.” “You beat everybody,” Trump replied. “And they were up 35 million homes,” Tyrus added. “It was a landslide.”

Nick Searcy fondly recalls the Reagan years and even worked on a documentary detailing the 40th president’s bond with the Soviet Union’s Mikhail Gorbachev. He still learned plenty by co-starring in “Reagan,” the late summer biopic of the conservative icon. Dennis Quaid brings The Gipper to life in “Reagan,” now available for purchase at Amazon, iTunes and more platforms. The sweeping biopic starts with Ronald Reagan’s early days and goes through his consequential White House years. Searcy plays James Baker in the film, Reagan’s Chief of Staff and, later, his Treasury Secretary. The “Justified” alum did his due diligence before stepping on the set, watching as many clips of Baker’s public appearances from that era. ‘Reagan’. MJM Entertainment. Rawhide Pictures. Searcy learned why Reagan chose Baker in the first place. Baker had opposed Reagan in the 1980 presidential campaign, aligning with his future vice president, George H. W. Bush. “Reagan saw him as being such a good negotiator and diplomat,” Searcy says, noting his differences with his on-screen character. “I’m a bit more of an ideologue than he was,” he adds with a chuckle. The actor didn’t know as much about Reagan’s life before becoming the country’s 40th president. “Reagan” fills in those blanks, from his transition from Hollywood to politics to his days as president of the Screen Actors Guild. The leader’s political ascent is the film’s focus, but “Reagan” is as much a love story as a look at one of the country’s most formidable politicians (Consider the term “Reagan Democrats” as just one example of his impact). Penelope Ann Miller stands by Quaid’s side as Nancy Reagan, part of a Beltway power couple that changed the course of history. You might not grasp Reagan’s role in the Cold War’s demise and “Morning in America” if you followed the Hollywood narrative, the actor maintains. Searcy says the industry’s take on Reagan has been “mostly negative,” including a controversial 2003 Showtime miniseries blasted by the president’s defenders for several key scenes. One sequence causes sizable outcry – James Brolin’s Reagan says of gay AIDS sufferers, “They that live in sin shall die in sin.” Reagan never uttered such a dehumanizing phrase. “Reagan,” Searcy says, “corrects the image of Reagan that the Hollywood Left was perpetrating,” that of a “doddering old fool who wanted nuclear war.” The actor adds another reason why the film’s 2024 release matters. MAGA nation may not understand how much the Left loathed President Reagan long before a certain real estate mogul joined the political fray in 2015. “Everyone seems to think Trump is some unique person who deserves to be hated,” he says. Searcy is one of a handful of openly conservative actors, and he’s maintained a steady career despite the industry’s aversion to Right-leaning talent. He’s recently been joined by both Quaid and “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi. Both endorsed Trump in recent weeks, with Levi admitting the decision could be “career suicide.” Searcy thinks he knows why they’re speaking out now. “People see the situation a little more clearly now and what’s at stake … what good is it if you hang onto your career but you lose your country,” he says. He posits another reason for mainstream stars to pick a side. “Hollywood is losing its position as the center of the entertainment universe,” he says, noting how many productions have fled for Canada and tax-friendly states with lower costs of living. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the actor’s concerns: Shooting days slipped 5 percent over a three-month period from July to September to 5,048, marking the weakest quarter of 2024, and every category of scripted production lags behind five-year averages on both a per-quarter and year-to-date basis. That’s not the only change allowing Right-leaning stars to speak their minds. Searcy notes new distribution companies, like SDG Releasing which handled the Daily Wire’s “Am I Racist?” or ShowBiz Direct distributing “Reagan” and a possible new streaming platform from Team Trump, Truth+. “The infrastructure is being built. We don’t have to suck up to the Hollywood Left anymore,” he says. Photo: Dana Commandatore/ The Daily Wire For now, Searcy nimbly dances between mainstream Hollywood projects (“The Shape of Water,” Netflix’s “The Perfect Couple”) and indie fare (“Terror on the Prairie,” “The Old Way”). He also produces Right-leaning documentaries like “Capitol Punishment.” That’s all while holding nothing back on X via @yesnicksearcy. “I hope people see that and take courage in it,” he says, understanding he’s likely lost work for his outspoken views. His political musings have opened up new creative doors. Consider his appearances in the last two Dinesh D’Souza films (“Police State” and “Vindicating Trump”). He also signed a deal with a Nashville-based company to direct and co-write a passion project about a gospel quartet in the 1960s. “There is a certain gratification in following your heart and doing what you believe in and letting the chips fall where they may,” he says. Ironically, Hollywood did have plans for a different “Reagan” biopic in recent years, but it was nothing like what Searcy and Quaid delivered with their movie. The 2016 project, hatched from a Blacklist screenplay, cast Will Ferrell as a dementia-addled leader in a satirical comedy. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 The project received a flood of furious blowback, including from two of Reagan’s adult children Michael Reagan and Patti Davis. That effectively shuttled any plans to bring it to the big screen. Searcy wasn’t aware of that proposed film, but he wasn’t surprised to hear about it. “That’s how the Left in Hollywood uses the [film] medium … it’s evolved from a storytelling medium to a way for them to attack their political opponents,” he says. “I’m waiting for a movie about how feeble Biden was.” * * * Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, movie critic and editor of HollywoodInToto.com.

The Democratic National Committee is targeting young voters via social media by introducing a Taylor Swift-themed Snapchat filter promoting their candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris. The new filter allows app users to promote themselves as supporting Harris for president via graphics that say “fearless for,” as a reference to the singer’s 2008 album. Options include “reproductive rights,” “democracy,” “climate action,” and “student loan debt relief.” The header says, “In My Voting Era.” Swift is back on tour this weekend after a brief hiatus from her massively popular Eras Tour. The tour, which began in March 2023, will conclude in Canada at the end of the year. The Harris campaign also erected Swift-themed billboards in the Miami area despite Florida not being considered a swing state for this year’s election. There will also be a mobile billboard on a boat near the stadium, per Variety. The ads are also catered to Swifties, with slogans including, “We’re in our Kamala Era.” The Snapchat filter will only be available in Florida and seven crucial swing states: Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, according to Gizmodo. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 After staying quiet on politics for most of 2024, Swift endorsed Harris following the debate between Donald Trump and the VP in early September.  “I’m voting for [Harris] because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate [Tim Walz], who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades,” she shared with her 283 million followers on Instagram at the time. “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” Swift added. “Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make.”

Former President Donald Trump has vowed to eliminate all sanctuary cities in the United States if he secures another term in office. During a Fox News town hall on October 15, 2024, Trump declared that his administration would tackle sanctuary cities “immediately,” utilizing the Aliens Act of 1798 to enforce federal immigration laws. These cities, which often limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, are seen by Trump as "protecting criminals" rather than upholding the rule of law. Trump’s comments came in response to a question from a Georgia voter concerned about the murder of Laken Riley, a young nursing student who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant. The former president stressed that sanctuary cities represent a danger to public safety and vowed to use executive action to remove these protections as quickly as possible​. Former President Donald Trump promised to end sanctuary cities for migrants, ban biological boys in girls sports and cut energy bills in half, if reelected, during an all-female town hall on Fox News.https://t.co/G5ANyeDE9w — KSL (@KSLcom) October 17, 2024 Throughout his campaign, Trump has doubled down on immigration reform, promising to take a hardline approach. His plan includes sending a bill to Congress on his first day in office that would ban sanctuary cities across the nation. He has also promised to deploy federal law enforcement to any city failing to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stating that he would hold these jurisdictions accountable for harboring illegal immigrants. During a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump expanded on his proposal, announcing that federal law enforcement would be sent to sanctuary cities immediately upon his return to the White House. He emphasized the need to arrest and deport criminals, including drug dealers, gang members, and other violent offenders, who he believes are being protected by sanctuary city policies​. ABC is telling you Donald Trump is lying about the FEMA response. Strange here is an earlier report they did on how FEMA allocating 800 million dollars towards helping sanctuary cities pay the high costs of illegal immigration. pic.twitter.com/yzE4l8pcgp — Johnny Midnight (@its_The_Dr) October 9, 2024 Sanctuary cities are municipalities that adopt policies to limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, such as refusing to hand over illegal immigrants to ICE when requested. These policies, Trump argues, create an unsafe environment, particularly in large urban areas. He has blamed Democratic leadership for perpetuating these policies, claiming that many of America’s largest cities have been poorly managed and allow illegal immigrants to commit crimes with impunity​. Trump’s harsh rhetoric on sanctuary cities has been a consistent theme in his political career, dating back to his first term as president. In 2017, he attempted to withhold federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions, though the move faced legal challenges. Now, he is taking an even more aggressive stance, promising to use every tool at his disposal to force compliance with federal immigration laws​. The issue has been a flashpoint in recent years, with high-profile crimes involving illegal immigrants fueling demands for stricter immigration enforcement. Trump has frequently pointed to cases like that of Kathryn Steinle, a San Francisco woman killed by an illegal immigrant in 2015, as justification for his approach. He has also drawn parallels between his proposed actions and the mass deportations carried out under President Dwight Eisenhower, asserting that his plan would surpass even those efforts​. Trump's promise to end sanctuary cities plays into his broader campaign narrative of restoring law and order, which has been central to his platform for the 2024 election. His proposal has been met with enthusiasm from his supporters, particularly those who view sanctuary cities as undermining public safety. However, it remains to be seen how successful Trump would be in implementing these changes if reelected, given the legal and logistical challenges posed by such sweeping reforms.

Tensions are escalating between Russia and Israel as Moscow issued a stark warning against any planned Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. The warning comes amid growing concerns over a potential wider conflict involving Israel and Iran, which has already seen indirect confrontations through their proxies in Lebanon and Gaza. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated unequivocally that an Israeli attack would be seen as a destabilizing act with "catastrophic consequences" not just for the region but for global security​​. Israel's potential airstrike on Iran is reportedly aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program, a move that has been speculated upon for years, but now seems more imminent. Israeli officials have expressed fears over Iran's advancing nuclear capabilities, suspecting that Tehran could be closing in on obtaining a nuclear weapon. Despite the diplomatic cover Israel enjoys from the U.S., Russia, a key ally of Iran, has emerged as a vocal opponent of any aggressive military action in the region. Russian officials stressed that military escalation in the Middle East would undermine broader global efforts for stability, particularly at a time when Moscow is focused on its ongoing conflict with Ukraine​​. #BREAKING: Russia has called on its citizens to LEAVE ISRAEL! pic.twitter.com/HqEN1WvlaH — The Saviour (@stairwayto3dom) October 3, 2024 The complex relations between Israel, Iran, and Russia are further complicated by Moscow’s military involvement in Syria, where Russian forces have coordinated with Iran in supporting the Assad regime. Israel has regularly targeted Iranian assets in Syria, which has already strained relations with Russia. Any direct attack on Iran could lead to a significant diplomatic rift between Russia and Israel, as Moscow would be forced to defend its strategic ally. Meanwhile, Israeli leadership remains resolute in its position that it cannot allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that Israel reserves the right to act independently to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran, a stance that has received consistent backing from Washington. The U.S. has historically supported Israel’s defense initiatives, including its right to preemptively strike against existential threats. However, the Biden administration has urged restraint, wary of sparking a full-scale war in an already volatile Middle East​. BREAKING NEWS Russia says that Israel is not a civilized nation . It has not cared of civilians in Lebanon and Gaza . pic.twitter.com/TgJFG5xZYx — World Affairs (@naziakhan455) September 25, 2024 In response to the looming threat, Russia has been supplying Iran with advanced air defense systems, including the S-300 and S-400 missile batteries. These systems could make any Israeli strike on Iran significantly more difficult and costly. Moscow's support for Iran's military infrastructure is a clear signal that Russia intends to bolster Tehran’s ability to defend itself from foreign attacks. Analysts suggest that this dynamic is not only about protecting Iran but also about Russia maintaining its influence in the region​. The timing of this potential conflict could not be more precarious. Iran, reeling from internal unrest and international sanctions, has continued to advance its nuclear program, enriching uranium beyond the limits set by the 2015 nuclear agreement. With Israel facing its own security threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, a direct conflict with Iran could quickly spiral into a broader regional war involving multiple countries​. Russia’s warning reflects its strategic interests in the Middle East, where it has played a delicate balancing act among various powers. While Moscow benefits from tensions that distract the West from Ukraine, it fears the uncontrollable consequences of an all-out war between Israel and Iran. Such a war would not only destabilize key Russian allies but also disrupt the global oil markets, something Russia, as a major energy exporter, is keen to avoid​. As the situation unfolds, the international community is watching closely. The stakes are high for all involved, and the next moves by Israel, Iran, and Russia could determine the future stability of the entire Middle East.

Raytheon Technologies, now operating under the RTX Corporation banner, has agreed to pay over $950 million to settle a series of federal investigations involving bribery and fraud. These charges stem from allegations that the defense contractor defrauded the U.S. Department of Defense and engaged in corrupt practices to secure contracts with the Qatari government. The company, known for its significant role in the U.S. defense industry, is also under scrutiny for violations related to export control regulations. The Justice Department revealed that Raytheon was found guilty of submitting false pricing information related to defense contracts, resulting in the Pentagon overpaying for missile systems and related services. These violations took place over several years, dating back to Raytheon's efforts to win lucrative defense contracts in the Middle East. Specifically, the bribery charges pertain to payments made to secure deals with the Qatari Air Force, which resulted in substantial business for Raytheon, particularly for its Patriot missile systems​.

These funds were allegedly used to influence officials within Qatar to sway military procurement decisions in Raytheon’s favor. This activity violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which strictly prohibits U.S. companies from bribing foreign officials to win business deals​. Raytheon’s legal troubles do not stop there. In addition to the bribery scandal, the company has been implicated in export control violations. These charges revolve around unauthorized transfers of defense technology, including missile systems, to countries such as China, Russia, and Iran. These transfers, according to U.S. law, violate both the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)​. Just a Cost of Doing Business: Federal contractor Raytheon will pay nearly $1 billion to settle charges of foreign bribery, export violations, and government contract fraud https://t.co/Y48f3uhlUx pic.twitter.com/yIorjJVz3I — Neil Gordon (@NEGordon) October 17, 2024 The $950 million settlement will address both the fraud and bribery allegations, and as part of the deal, RTX will avoid criminal prosecution through a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA). The DPA includes a three-year compliance monitoring period, during which the company will be subject to oversight by an independent compliance monitor to ensure adherence to U.S. laws regarding foreign corruption and export controls​. Raytheon has already set aside significant funds to cover the costs of the settlement and compliance measures. As part of the resolution, the company will also need to improve its internal controls and compliance procedures to prevent future violations. Additionally, the settlement includes both civil penalties and disgorgement of profits earned through fraudulent contracts and illegal payments​. The fallout from these investigations could have far-reaching implications, not just for Raytheon but for the broader defense industry. U.S. defense contractors, particularly those with significant overseas business, are under increased scrutiny regarding their business practices abroad, especially in regions with less transparent procurement processes. Raytheon’s case serves as a stark reminder of the legal risks that come with engaging in questionable business practices in pursuit of government contracts. While the financial penalties are substantial, the company remains one of the largest defense contractors in the world and is expected to weather this storm. However, the reputational damage from this scandal could impact its standing with international clients and government entities for years to come​.
