We must continue to provide Ukraine with the tool to defend its sovereignty and achieve a lasting resolution. NATO allies are bracing for a longer-than-expected war in Ukraine, as Russian officials say no compromise is close.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, December 4th, and this is Morning Wire. Following last week's deadly D.C. shooting, the White House is halting all asylum decisions and visas from 19 countries of concern. The Biden administration was responsible for the original sin that led to this tragic killing last week.
And more allegations of widespread fraud under the Biden administration as new investigations expose billions in taxpayer money funneled through DEI initiatives.
So the more we peel back these layers, the more we're seeing billions of dollars, perhaps tens of billions of dollars going through a rigged bidding system. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Chapter 2: What is NATO's current stance on the Ukraine conflict?
weapons for Ukraine to the tune of about $1 billion a month. Now, the U.S. met with Russia and Moscow on Tuesday. Were they able to move any closer to a deal? Maybe, but not close enough. The Kremlin said Tuesday that it couldn't find a compromise it could agree with.
Russia said that some of the American proposals have been good, probably in reference to the early framework that received so much pushback from Ukraine and the rest of Europe. But Moscow seems to be dead set on territorial gains over what it has control of already. Rubio talked about that in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
What they're literally fighting over now is about 30 to 50 kilometer space in the 20 percent of the Donetsk region that remains. And so what we have tried to do, and I think have made some progress, is figure out what can the Ukrainians live with that gives them security guarantees for the future. They're never going to be invaded again.
Now, the other big news coming out of Europe is that they're finally going to get off of Russian natural gas. How did that come to pass? Right. Since this war has started, Europe has been in this strange position where it supports the defense of Ukraine, but it has been relying on Russia for energy, spending billions of dollars on fossil fuels from Russia.
And all that money has gone into funding Russia's war effort. Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said Wednesday that the bloc has finally come up with a plan to end its reliance on Russian fossil fuels.
Today is indeed a historic day for our Union. Last night we reached a provisional agreement on the Commission's proposal to fully phase out Russian fossil fuels. We're turning that page, and we're turning it for good. This is the dawn of a new era, the era of Europe's full energy independence from Russia.
So a plan is in the works, but still, in the meantime, spending billions more on Russian products. Right. Tim, thanks for reporting. Good to be on. This episode is sponsored by Vanta.

Following the D.C. shooting of two National Guard troops by an Afghan migrant, the Trump administration is halting even more immigration. Joining us to discuss the most recent changes to immigration policy is Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Taher.
So, Jenny, we know the Trump administration already halted the processing of asylum applications and also put a pause on visas. What more is being done?
There's a lot more being done. In fact, the Trump administration has just directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to to also look at 19 countries that they say are of concern because of possible terror ties. Those countries include Afghanistan, but also several others in the Middle East, in Africa, in South Asia.
The Trump administration is wanting USCIS, the agency that vets immigration applications for legal programs, to really scrutinize individuals who are applying or have been accepted to some programs. So what this looks like in practice is the Trump administration is halting all processing of any legal immigration applications from individuals from these 19 countries.
And for those who have been already accepted to become green card recipients or citizens, their programs, their swearing in ceremonies, for example, are put on pause for now as the Trump administration does a more thorough vetting process here.
Now, we're also learning more about the suspect in the National Guard shooting. That was an Afghan national who was let into the country legally. What do we know about that individual?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of NATO's support for Ukraine?
And the problem is, is that there are disadvantaged people in America and we do want to support them and help them. But when you are giving, you know, multi-billion dollar conglomerates contracts under the banner of being disadvantaged, it hurts everybody.
Is there a sense that the Trump administration has exposed the worst actors so far, or is this really the tip of the iceberg?
I think it's the tip of the iceberg. I mean, the Pentagon has not yet ordered a full audit, but there are many. We are going through the USAspending.gov contracts now, and we're finding a lot of Pentagon contractors, defense contractors, who partner with these minority groups to get no-bid contracts. So I think the Pentagon is going to be really where a lot of these billions are hiding out.
But yeah, I think it's the tip of the iceberg just in the reports Luke has done and a few others. James O'Keefe did a video expose in some of the stuff we put out last week. Seamus, thank you so much for joining us. Yeah, great to see you, John. Thank you.
Thanks for waking up with us. And if you're listening to the show, now you can watch for free on Daily Wire+. We'll be back later this evening with more news you need to know.
