The Homeland Security chief slams Zorhan Mamdani over his response to an ICE shooting. The plans for the public execution of the Fort Hood terrorist barks controversy and the first Michigan Senate debate goes viral. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, October 9th, and this is Evening Wire.

Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen condemned New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani's response to ICE shooting a criminal illegal immigrant connected to a violent gang. Immigration reporter Jenny Tare has the latest.

During a press conference on Friday, Mullen slammed Mamdani for spending two hours on the phone with President Trump Thursday night and for begging him to release the criminal illegal immigrant who had a lengthy rap sheet in New York. Mullen said Trump would only release the illegal immigrant to the NYPD, but Mamdani said no and wanted him out on the streets. Mamdani also used the incident to renew his calls to abolish ICE. Mullen responded saying such a move would only breed more crime.

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers faced off for the first debate last night for the Senate seat in Michigan, and things got personal and viral quick. El-Sayed's troubling associations with radical Islamists came up often, as well as his misleading claims about being a doctor. Meanwhile, he painted Rogers as an elitist. Here's a few moments that have gained attention.

SPEAKER_4 (1:45)

He has taken money from individuals on his campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.

He's taken money from the George Soros family. What we found out is that this thing goes way back. Apparently, they paid for his education in Columbia. Now they're paying for his campaign. By the way, that's a billionaire, last I checked.

John Bickley (2:04)

What degree did I get at Columbia? We're out of time.

Pete Hegseth (2:05)

I'm going to give you a 30 second re-look.

Abdul El-Sayed (2:07)

What degree did I get at Columbia?

John Bickley (2:09)

I get interviewed by him, not by you.

Abdul El-Sayed (2:11)

As a doctor, I understand exactly what's happening.

John Bickley (2:13)

He says I like to say the same thing. Not a physician.

Abdul El-Sayed (2:15)

He says I like to say the same thing. He's done the same thing over and over and over again. You know what that is? Vote to keep your prescription drug prices high. 19 times a million dollars alone from Big Pharma. Another million dollars from the Health Insurance Corporation. Of course, he is touting their talking points. This is a guy who has not been serious about providing people health care his entire career. What he has been serious about is making sure that he can monetize his time in public office. 14 million dollars, two yachts, a McMansion in Florida. So at the end of the day, I'm a doctor. I want people to have health care.

John Bickley (2:45)

All right, 30 seconds.

Abdul El-Sayed (2:46)

We're gonna move on after this.

John Bickley (2:48)

30 seconds.

SPEAKER_4 (2:48)

Let me tell you, how does a guy who's had less than four years of work experience, who, by the way, on the campaign trail said he had 10, own a luxury property in the United Arab Emirates? Yesterday was October 7th. This is why you should get absolutely angry. He could not bring himself to even acknowledge the pain, the terrorism, the rape, the murders, cutting off of women's breasts, putting children in ovens, and killing them in front of their families.

John Bickley (3:45)

Reaction so far has generally not been good for else Sayed. in particular, even members of a CNN panel appeared to pile on the Democrat.

SPEAKER_7 (3:53)

He was asked, who's the greater danger to America, Israel or Iran? Three times he was asked that, he refused to answer.

Afterwards, he said, that's a dumb question. And he was right, it is a dumb question because the answer is so painfully easy, but he couldn't say that. He criticized Mike Rogers for asking him to condemn Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, saying they're scary words, but he hasn't condemned them. And they are scary words because they've killed hundreds of thousands of innocents, including 3000 Americans three miles south of here. So at a certain point, it goes from either, this is political malpractice at the best, or he can't, or he won't because of something deeper, and that is far more troubling.
