It really does feel like a tipping point here.
Now, some leaders say they want to avoid what happened during the Syrian civil war in 2015.

How are citizens reacting to these new policies from the EU?
It's going to be fascinating to see how this actually plays out when they enact these policies.
Bev Turner, thank you so much for joining us.
Joining us now with the details is Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak.
Luke, great to have you back on.
Thanks for having me.
So this is a significant victory for free speech here.
In fact, I wanted to start by noting that the Daily Wire was not seeking money.

Something I can personally attest to as someone who had to deal with all these fact checks for years.
Stepping back, it really is remarkable that the U.S.

It seems like a textbook First Amendment violation here.
And we should note that this is the second time in a row that The Daily Wire has prevailed against the federal government in a big case like this.
