Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
More details surface about the ceasefire with Iran, markets respond to news of peace, and the CIA unveils a mind-blowing new weapon called Ghost Murmur. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley. It's Wednesday, April 8th, and this is Evening Wire.
Chapter 2: What updates were provided on the ceasefire negotiations with Iran?
The Pentagon provided updates on the ceasefire deal in an early morning press conference today. When asked about the continued Iranian strikes after the agreement was announced, Foreign Secretary Pete Hexeth cited the damage to Iranian communications, but he also pressed the regime to comply with the ceasefire.
Iran would be wise to find a way to get the carrier pigeon to their troops out in remote locations to know not to shoot, not to shoot any longer. It takes time sometimes for ceasefires to take hold. We're watching it. We're prepared if necessary, but we hope and believe that it'll hold.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Cain praised the efforts of American service members and support staff involved in getting the operation to this point and emphasized their vigilance during the ceasefire.
A ceasefire is a pause and the Joint Force remains ready if ordered or called upon to resume combat operations with the same speed and precision as we've demonstrated over the last 38 days and we hope that that is not the case.

will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz.

Chapter 3: How did markets react to the ceasefire announcement?
The targets include energy, water, and transportation systems, with officials saying Iran exploited industrial automation products which have caused operational disruptions at drinking water and wastewater facilities. Industry leaders report heightened vigilance, noting that Iran has previously infiltrated US power networks and that malware could lie dormant and ready to activate.
Experts stress that the threat is real and ongoing, with officials coordinating closely with the private sector to prevent attacks.
Vice President J.D. Vance is warning that the deal with Iran is a fragile truce. Speaking at an international conference in Hungary today, the VP made clear that Iran better not forget that the U.S. has all the leverage.
If they're going to lie, if they're going to cheat, if they're going to try to prevent even the fragile truce that we've we've set up from taking place, then they're not going to be happy because what the president has also shown is that we still have clear military diplomatic and maybe most importantly, we have extraordinary economic leverage.
So the president has told us not to use those tools. He's told us to come to the negotiating table. But if the Iranians don't do the exact same thing, they're going to find out that the president of the United States is not one to mess around. He's impatient. He's impatient to make progress. Markets have reacted sharply to the ceasefire announcement.

Chapter 4: What did President Trump say about the U.S.-Iran negotiations?
To me, it's about speaking to a broader audience. I'm wanting to speak with Hassan's audience, too. Democratic Senator John Fetterman spoke out on aligning with Piker, remarking, quote, this is the individual that said America deserved 9-11. Piker also has said, quote, he has had no issue with Hezbollah and that, quote, if you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.
The successful search and rescue of a downed airman over Easter weekend was in part made possible by new covert CIA technology. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce has more.
According to the New York Post, the CIA used the tool it has dubbed Ghost Murmur for the first time in the field to locate the soldier. Ghost Murmur uses AI and cutting-edge technology to pick up on heartbeats over large distances. Lockheed Martin created the tool with help from advances in the field of quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic pulses of a human heartbeat.
The barren space of rural Iran provided the ideal conditions to test out this new tech in the race to find the downed airmen before Iranian forces.

A drug dealer known as the Ketamine Queen was just sentenced to prison for her role in actor Matthew Perry's death. Daily Wire Lifestyle reporter Lauren Baer has more.
A federal judge sentenced Jasmeen Sangha to 15 years in prison for supplying the ketamine that killed Matthew Perry in 2023, making her the third of five defendants to be sentenced and the only one to admit direct responsibility for his death. In court, Senga said she carries her shame, quote, like a jacket and sought a reduced sentence.
Her lawyers even argued the time she had spent in jail up until the sentencing should suffice. Prosecutors argued she ran a lucrative drug operation for wealthy clients and kept dealing even after prior fatal consequences. Perry, who had legally received ketamine for depression before seeking more illicitly, was sold 25 vials by Sangha for $6,000 in the days before his death.
Perry's stepfather, Keith Morrison, told the court the family lives with a quote, daily grinding sadness and sorrow.

But Vrabel says there's nothing to see here. He told the Post, quote, these photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable.

Meanwhile, in other sports news, a high-end inside pitch from Reynaldo Lopez to Jorge Soler yesterday devolved into a bench-clearing brawl.
