I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Wednesday, September 16th. This is Morning Wire.

The Trump administration charges a dozen fake daycares for $10 million in fraud and claws back billions from COVID-era scammers.

Based on today's allegations, over $10 million taxpayer dollars that were supposed to support our children were stolen by criminal actors.

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know. For generations, female athletes have fought for the right to compete on a fair and level playing field. Today, those opportunities are being threatened again. Athletes like Sophie Cunningham are speaking up and reminding the WNBA of a simple truth. Biological differences matter in sports. But the fight is bigger than one athlete or league. It's about protecting opportunities for the next generation of girls. Concerned Women for America, the largest Christian women's policy group in America, is standing up for female athletes and calling on organizations like the WNBA to remember what the W stands for. Join Concerned Women for America and add your name to the petition today.

Go to ConcernedWomen.org slash wire. Federal prosecutors announced a foiled ISIS terror plot on Tuesday after FBI agents tracked a 21-year-old suspect to a hotel in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania.
John Bickley 2:49
This comes as FBI Director Kash Patel appeared before a Senate panel yesterday where he touted the murder rate falling to a 20-year low and also fielded some tough questions from lawmakers. Joining us now with more on this is our D.C. Bureau Chief Tim Rice. Tim, thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me, guys. So let's start with this foiled plot the Department of Justice announced yesterday. What other details do we know?
Tim Rice 3:13
Yeah, so as Georgia sort of alluded to, the FBI arrested 21-year-old Jonathan Kramer of Valencia, Pennsylvania on September 12th. He was nabbed in a Walmart parking lot after somebody in his life tipped off authorities to the fact that he was planning some kind of terror attack in support of ISIS. A couple of things that we know about this, based on both the police reports and this guy's posts on the internet, we know that he was, as far as we can tell and as far as he said, unaffiliated. He said in some of these weird pro-ISIS forums, basically, that he was a lone wolf. He wasn't with an ISIS cell. He didn't have anyone giving him instructions. He just wanted to make some sort of attack and hurt a lot of people in the name of this group.
Tim Rice 3:52
And according to police reports, he has been stockpiling ammo. He apparently had 190 rounds of ammunition for this gun that he was planning to use. So pretty shocking. Again, a young American kid radicalized somehow by ISIS.
Unknown 4:08
We
Tim Rice 4:08
don't have a ton more information about these sketchy sites that he was on, but I suspect that in the coming days, we'll hear more and more about what these forums are, how this guy got radicalized, what his story was, basically what brought him to this very radical point.
