--:-- Georgia Howe: I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, July 28th, and this is Evening Wire.
--:-- John Bickley: President Trump has moved up his ultimatum for Vladimir Putin to make peace with Ukraine. Trump originally gave Russia 50 days, but during a meeting with the UK's prime minister in Scotland, he said he's significantly cutting that down.
--:-- Georgia Howe: I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There's no reason in waiting. There's no reason in waiting. It's 50 days. I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made.
--:-- John Bickley: The new deadline comes amid continued Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and growing frustration from Kiev.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Before the meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump also said he's not taking a position on Palestinian statehood.
--:-- John Bickley: I'm not going to take a position. I don't mind him taking a position. I'm looking for getting people fed right now. To me, that's the number one position because you have a lot of starving people.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Trump says the U.S. has sent $60 million in aid. Meanwhile, Israel began airdrops and is working to allow more ways for the U.N. to get aid into Gaza.

--:-- John Bickley: President Trump dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize Palestine at the U.N. General Assembly in September, saying it, quote, doesn't matter.

--:-- John Bickley: Here's the president again before his meeting with Starmer. That was going to be a very bad war. And so we honored we got involved and it essentially settled.
--:-- Tim Rice: I think they're going to be settling it today. So it went for a few days. That was going to go on for years. That could have gone on for years. Millions of people could have been killed. We ended the war and we're very happy about it.

--:-- John Ratcliffe: The director confirmed he submitted criminal referrals related to the origins of the Russia investigation and the Steele dossier.
--:-- John Bickley: Pam Bondi does have a strike force. It is a different Department of Justice, a different FBI, and an opportunity to look at how these people really did conspire to run a hoax, a fraud on the American people and against Donald Trump's presidency.
--:-- John Ratcliffe: And so coming forward, we understand that they did this, but now we need to understand how they did this.
--:-- John Bickley: Ratcliffe insists the push isn't political payback, but an effort to hold people accountable for misleading the American public.

--:-- John Bickley: And at the beginning of this month, the department suggested that as much as 50% of all federal regulations could be repealed, which they claim would save the U.S. $1.5 trillion every year.
--:-- Michael Whitaker: While humans would make the final decisions, staffers have found that the doge bot has misread or misinterpreted laws on several occasions.
