President Trump adds an ultimatum to Saudi Arabia's nuclear deal. Marco Rubio says he has no plans to stop the extradition of the Tate Brothers and the Rolling Stones released their 25th studio album. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, July 23rd. This is Even Wire.

President Trump has announced new conditions on the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal signed yesterday. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce has the latest.

After the US signed a historic nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia yesterday, Trump revealed that the deal will be contingent on normalized Saudi-Israeli relations. The agreement signed yesterday will allow US nuclear companies to export to Saudi Arabia and build up the country's civil nuclear industry. It also creates a framework for US safeguards against Saudi nuclear enrichment, though Saudi's commitment to non-enrichment is unclear. Such a deal has been tossed around the government for years as a way to push Saudi Arabia closer to Israel. Trump said on True Social this morning that Saudi Arabia will have to join the Abraham Accords for the deal to move forward. Here was White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett.

He wants to see these countries sign the Abraham Accord. It was one of the most historic accomplishments of his first term, and it continues to be a long-term goal of his to expand those accords to ultimately come to a place where the Middle East can be a peaceful and stable region. And yes, this deal with Saudi Arabia, the energy deal, is contingent on this condition as far as the president is concerned. So we'll continue to talk with our Saudi counterparts to get the deal finalized and hopefully see them joining the Abraham Accords very soon.

A historic Catholic church in Buffalo, New York has burned down in a suspected arson attack. Daily Wire producer, Justice Speuler, has a story.

The Catholic parish built in 1886 was permanently closed in 2024, at which time it was sold to an Islamic community group for $250,000.
Plans had been put in place to convert the building into a mosque. The church remained untouched until last week when emergency crews responded to a fire in the building. The fire was quickly extinguished, but less than a week later, another fire consumed it. Authorities strongly suspect arson, though no suspects or motives have been identified.

The Trump administration plans to extradite Internet hustlers Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK, despite their claims of innocence. The Tate brothers face dozens of charges in the UK, including rape, sex trafficking and child pornography. The pair reportedly have connections to senior members of the Trump administration and other influential politicos. But the Justice Department said in court filings that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sole authority to block extradition. Rubio told reporters he has no plans to do so.

**Marco Rubio** (3:35)
These cases have a process that they go through in the courts.
My understanding is that they're involved in that judicial process. And so that will play itself out at this point. And there's no role for us to play at this moment or maybe ever in that regard.

Republicans grilled the director of the National Museum of American History, Dr. Anthea Harding, this week. The GOP called a House hearing titled Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past, which lawmakers used to confront Harding on the ways her museum has adopted leftist ideas. In one of the hearing's most viral exchanges, Congressman Brandon Gill questioned Harding on the Mass Action Toolkit, that's a packet infused with DEI and woke ideas, such as politeness being a hallmark of whiteness. Here's some of that exchange.
