Daniel, who's been battling cancer since 2018, received a standing ovation as Trump named him an honorary Secret Service agent. Notably, many Democrats did not stand for that moment. DJ's father also fired back at MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who criticized Trump's tribute, telling her to shut her mouth if she has nothing nice to say.

Yeah, well, first it's important to note that the union representing these striking officers and sergeants has not sanctioned the strike, even though they're the ones negotiating. Officers feel like union bosses are on the side of the governor and at odds with their rank and file.

The disconnect between the leadership and the workers was on full display this weekend when Hochul brokered a deal with the union. She offered a bump in overtime pay and issued a 90-day suspension to certain provisions in the HALT Act that relates to solitary confinement or special housing units.

The governor's offer was largely rejected, and across more than 30 prisons in New York, the strike continues for about 8,000 officers. On Tuesday, more than 1,000 officers and their supporters took to Albany to protest the governor.

Officers said at the outset of this that they want the full repeal of the HALT Act and they don't want to work mandated 24-hour or sometimes up to 72-hour shifts anymore. I spoke to a source who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution, and they stressed that the strike is not about the money, but about how the, quote, liberal agenda has destroyed our justice system.

They said the HALT Act has made it basically impossible for officers to discipline routine problems inside the prisons, and it's putting safety at risk for everyone, including inmates. A source sent the Daily Wire exclusive footage from inside Greenhaven Correctional Facility in New York to show the public the type of violence that's been taking place since the HALT Act was passed.

A source sent the Daily Wire exclusive footage from inside Greenhaven Correctional Facility in New York to show the public the type of violence that's been taking place since the HALT Act was passed.

The three minutes of graphic footage, which can be viewed on dailywire.com, includes an inmate slicing the face of a female visitor, the fatal stabbing of a 30-year-old inmate, another inmate seizing on the ground with brain trauma after an attack, and numerous attacks on staff members. The source said the footage is just the tip of the iceberg. Right.

Well, Hochul is not making any concessions and she's taken to firing officers who are continuing to strike, which is notable since a lot of these safety concerns stem from chronic understaffing and low recruitment. Termination started on Sunday and it's been reported that about 10 officers have been fired so far, though that number is expected to rise.

The governor has also moved to terminate the health insurance for up to 8,000 officers. Hochul has also threatened to arrest officers, and she started proceedings to do just that for hundreds already. Here's the governor on Tuesday.

Hochul has also mobilized 7,000 National Guard members and thousands are working in the prisons right now. Numerous of those National Guard members have leaked photos to the press of the cramped and squalid conditions they've been subjected to. And last note on that, a lot of controversy is starting to brew as the number of deaths inside these prisons start to rack up.

Since the strike started, at least seven people have died. One has been deemed a suicide and at least one death is under investigation. Well, it's a very precarious situation.
