A ceasefire agreement goes into effect between Israel and Lebanon. A tragic murder-suicide rocks Virginia. And Dairy Queen deploys AI in the drive-thru. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, April 16th. This is Evening Wire.
A ceasefire went into effect today between Israel and Lebanon. Daily Wire Foreign Affairs Reporter Cassie Akiva has the details.
President Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire this morning agreed to by Israel and Lebanon. The ceasefire is set to begin at 5 p.m. Eastern. Trump says he spoke directly with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the talks productive and the ceasefire a step toward broader peace.
It's a very nice little package for about a week, and we're not going to have lots of bombs dropping, and we're going to see if we can make peace between Lebanon and Israel.
Hezbollah stepped up its rocket attacks on Israel before the ceasefire began, but said it will comply with the ceasefire if Israel does. Trump invited Aoun and Netanyahu to meet in person at the White House. The president also addressed the ongoing conflict in Iran.
We have a very good relationship with Iran right now, as hard as it is to believe. And I think it's a combination of about four weeks of bombing and a very powerful blockade. We have a real chance to make a deal very soon with Iran.
Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax murdered his wife before committing suicide last night.

Chapter 2: What details surround the new ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon?
Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has more.
Police believe Fairfax shot his wife, Serena, after a domestic incident at their home in Annandale, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. According to the police, the couple was involved in a messy divorce. In January 2026, Justin Fairfax claimed that he was assaulted by his wife, but that claim was later proved untrue by cameras placed in the home.
Fairfax had two children, both teenagers, who were in the house at the time of the murder. One of the children called the police after discovering his mother's body, at which time he told police he believed his father had stabbed his mother. Justin Fairfax was later found deceased in another part of the home. Fairfax served as Lieutenant Governor to Governor Ralph Northam from 2018 to 2022.
We'll have more on this story tomorrow morning.
Automakers are in talks with the Trump administration about manufacturing weapons and ammunition for the US. Pentagon officials want to assess how quickly car makers could shift personnel and factories into weapons manufacturing as the Ukraine and Iran conflicts drain the US military resources.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Defense Department approached commercial manufacturers such as General Motors and Ford before the start of the war in Iran. The talks also involved GE Aerospace and machine maker Oshkosh.
A maritime intelligence shop says that Iran has bypassed the U.S. blockade to ship tens of millions of barrels of oil to the global market. According to Windward AI, at least 11 tankers carrying approximately 20 million barrels of Iranian oil are positioned offshore Malaysia within a ship-to-ship transfer hub.
Windward AI said the ships are likely waiting for others to come and take the oil for distribution and create a so-called dark network to hide where the oil is being sourced.

Kavanaugh has not publicly commented yet on the apology.
Marijuana use by male partners may double the risk of miscarriage. Daily Wire Lifestyle reporter Lauren Baer has more.
A Boston University study found that miscarriage in the first two months of pregnancy was twice as likely when the father used marijuana at least once a week compared to fathers who don't use marijuana. The pattern even persisted when controlling for maternal use of marijuana.
Over the past several years, other studies have also linked cannabis to higher rates of misshapen sperm and reduced sperm count. It is believed that cannabinoid receptors in the testes bind to THC, causing changes in function. Here's fertility doctor Natalie Crawford on the Huberman Lab podcast.
clinically in the IVF lab, when I see embryos halt at that male developmental stage on day three, we say, oh, here's a young couple. They've got no embryos and we were expecting them to have some. When we go back nine out of 10 times, he is using cannabis that he previously denied.
Dairy Queen may soon be introducing AI chatbots at their drive-thru window. Here's Daily Wire assistant editor, Andy Valdez. Company reps have said that in testing, the AI vastly outcompetes human drive-through operators in order accuracy and customer satisfaction. The AI is reportedly also being trained to upsell customers, encouraging them to add additional items to their orders.
The move follows other chains like McDonald's and Wendy's, who have begun phasing in AI drive-throughs. While customers have lamented a loss of human touch, Others say that artificial intelligence is much easier to understand and often more pleasant than the typical drive-through employee.
While AI can handle much of the workload, it's not completely foolproof yet, with around one in five orders requiring a worker to step in and take the order.
And an investigation is being launched into two pilots for kitten around on the job. Really, guys? The pilots stand accused of making cat and dog noises over an air traffic control frequency, including a meow-meow exchange.
