--:-- Georgia Howe: I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Monday, January 16th, and this is your MorningWire afternoon update.
--:-- John Bickley: Six people were shot and killed in a Central California home on Monday, including a 17-year-old mother and a six-month-old baby, in what the sheriff called a targeted attack.
--:-- Georgia Howe: After House Republicans demanded that President Joe Biden release visitor logs from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he often spends his weekend and where numerous classified documents were found, the president's attorneys admitted that those records do not exist.
--:-- John Bickley: Critics say that the lack of transparency from the White House is glaring given the amount of time Biden spends there as well as the sensitive documents discovered.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Congress could release the more than 14,000 hours worth of Capitol Police security tapes relating to the January 6th riot as soon as next week, an apparent promise made by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to the 20 holdouts in exchange for their support.
--:-- John Bickley: The speaker detailed how that might be done on Sunday. The best way to handle this, I think, is exactly the way Elon Musk just put all the information out there and let people see what is truth and what is not. So the best way to do that is you release the tapes. People can know for themselves instead of picking and choosing what views they want people to see.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Federal authorities are investigating how two commercial planes nearly collided on the runway at New York's JFK airport over the weekend. One plane was barreling down the runway for takeoff as another flight crossed its path, forcing air traffic controllers to order the departing plane to come to an abrupt halt.
--:-- John Bickley: Here's one passenger recounting the horrifying experience. It was like a split second of panic that resulted in this audible reaction on the plane. I felt then adrenaline and there was total quiet on the plane. And then there was relief when the plane came to a stop.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The death toll rose to 40 and 30 people are still missing Monday after an apartment building in Ukraine was hit by a Russian missile. This is the deadliest attack in the war in months.
--:-- John Bickley: The city of San Francisco should pay each longtime black resident $5 million in reparations. That's according to a San Francisco Reparations Committee draft document. To be eligible for the program, the applicant would have to be 18 years old and have identified as black or African-American on public documents for at least 10 years, while also providing two more qualifying factors, such as being born in San Francisco between 1940 and 1996 and have proof of residency in San Francisco for at least 13 years.
--:-- Georgia Howe: An applicant could also list being personally or the direct descendant of someone incarcerated by the failed war on drugs.
--:-- John Bickley: Italian authorities announced Monday that Matteo Messina DiNaro, a mafia boss nicknamed the devil and considered to be the most wanted man in Italy, was finally arrested at a hospital and taken to a secret location.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Messina De Naro has been accused of dozens of murders, including the strangulation of a pregnant woman.
--:-- John Bickley: Romanian law enforcement officials have reportedly seized millions of dollars worth of assets from a Bucharest compound belonging to former kickboxer and social media influencer Andrew Tate amid their sex trafficking investigation into him.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Romania National Agency for the Administration of Seized Assets said it seized more than a dozen high vehicles, including a Rolls, a Ferrari, and a Mercedes. Tate was detained along with his brother Tristan Tate and two other individuals in an investigation into allegations of organized crime, human trafficking, and rape.
--:-- John Bickley: A $10 million statue honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King was unveiled in Boston this weekend. But the installment quickly generated controversy online due to its obscure nature.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Coretta Scott's own cousin ridiculed the memorial, saying it looked lewd from some angles. The statue is supposed to show the civil rights couple hugging each other in a famous photo known as the Embrace.
--:-- John Bickley: Lawmakers, business leaders, and academics participating in the World Economic Forum are descending upon the small ski town of Davos, Switzerland, this week to discuss a variety of policy proposals that entail greater coordination between government and corporate actors, known as stakeholder capitalism.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The group's annual conference, led by Klaus Schwab, has drawn the attention of conservatives who contend that many of the policies floated each year infringe upon individual liberties.
