Chapter 1: What relief is President Trump providing to American farmers?
President Trump gives some much-needed relief to American farmers. The administration hits back at legacy media's selective immigration reporting. And nominees for the Golden Globes are announced. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, December 8th, and this is Evening Wire.
President Trump announced today that $12 billion will be heading to America's farmers as trade tensions with China continue.
Chapter 2: How is the administration responding to media coverage of immigration?
Daily Wire political reporter Cameron Arcand has the story.
The president held a roundtable with the agriculture industry on Monday, including farmers of critical crops like soybeans, corn, and cotton. The USDA's Farmer Bridge Assistance Program will primarily consist of one-time payments to qualifying farmers as the Trump administration hammers out trade deals with other countries.
Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson, said, quote, today's announcement reflects the president's commitment to helping our farmers who have the support they need to bridge the gap between Biden's failures and the president's successful policies taking effect.
In an update to a story we reported this morning, Paramount Skydance is making a last ditch effort to disrupt the massive Netflix Warner Brothers deal. Here's Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham.
Paramount Skydance launched a quote unquote hostile bid for Warner Brothers this morning that significantly ups the ante for Netflix. As we reported, Netflix came out on top of a bidding war for Warner Brothers, offering some 72 billion to purchase the studio and all of its assets. But now, Paramount says they'll beat that offer by more than $30 billion.
Their $108.4 billion counter comes as Hollywood bigwigs are openly lamenting the idea of Netflix further strengthening its already dominant streaming game, while also potentially taking a key studio out of the pro theater side of the equation. As Reuters reports, e-marketer senior analyst Ross Bene said the Warner Brothers Discovery acquisition is far from over.
He added, Netflix is in the driver's seat, but there will be twists and turns before the finish line.
The Trump administration has unveiled a new DHS website listing off the worst of the worst criminal illegal immigrants removed in the president's mass deportation crackdown. The site details 10,000 offenders arrested for murder, rape, child molestation, drug trafficking, and even terrorism ties, cases that federal officials say the press routinely ignores.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says the goal is transparency, allowing Americans to see exactly who ICE has taken off their streets. Among those highlighted, a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member tied to Hezbollah, a convicted cop shooter from Egypt, and a Minnesota illegal immigrant sentenced for killing his own infant son.

Chapter 3: What are the latest developments in the Warner Brothers acquisition?
The White House has defended the president's authority to authorize the Caribbean strikes.
As the Trump administration continues to clean house of high-level federal officials, a Supreme Court fight has emerged that could dramatically reshape how the government operates. Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has more on the potential impact.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case brought by Rebecca Slaughter, a former member of the Federal Trade Commission whom Trump fired in March. The justices will decide whether the president had lawful authority to remove her.
Typically, panels of bureaucrats set policy details on issues ranging from nuclear power to consumer protections, but recent regulations and rhetoric have raised questions about just how nonpartisan they really are. A decision on Slaughter's case, expected later this year, could significantly alter the relationship between federal agencies and the office of the president.
A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake shook the sea near Japan this morning, causing several injuries. The quake, 50 miles off the coast, created a tsunami of roughly 20 inches with the potential for higher surges. The government reports that nuclear power plants in the area are performing safety checks and are so far unaffected.
Prime Minister Sanae Takeuchi addressed the incident briefly, saying, quote, we are putting people's lives first and doing everything we can.
The Trump administration is ordering U.S. consular officers to deny entry to foreign workers involved in censorship of Americans online. Daily Wire Reporter Zach Jewell has the latest.
An internal State Department cable directs officers to thoroughly vet applicants and to reject anyone with previous work that may have targeted protected speech in the U.S. This includes experience in content moderation, misinformation policing, fact-checking, or compliance.
Officials say the new scrutiny is aimed squarely at H-1B applicants, who often work inside major tech companies accused of silencing Americans. A senior State Department official told Fox that the message is simple. The U.S., quote, will not import foreign sensors, especially after social media giants banned President Trump himself.
