Okay, first, before we give you the facts of the day, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels is streaming now only on Daily Wire. It's an ode to the great action movies of the 80s and 90s. There's even a love story which nobody expected. And you can support Daily Wire's mission to continue making movies that people actually want to watch. Go check it out.

There are a few things I love more than Good Ranchers, but there are not many, I'll tell you that.

I think it might make it on the top five of all things in the world.

It's just the best quality meat at the very best price from the very best people. Meanwhile, you go to the grocery store, you ever ask yourself, hey, where was this meat raised? Because American beef on the package does not necessarily mean everything that company sells is American. Good Ranchers makes it very simple. Every cut they sell is labeled, born, raised, and harvested in the USA. They partner with more than 100 local American farms and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door. Beef, chicken, pork, even seafood. You know what you are feeding your family. You know where it came from. You're supporting American farmers and ranchers producing it. And I love supporting Americans and I love a good price. For me though, it all comes down to the quality. The Good Ranchers quality is just next level on certainly all the beef, even I'm not a huge chicken guy. The chicken is like the best chicken you're gonna get. Whether we're talking about the chicken breasts, whether we're talking about the C2L free chicken nuggets, it's all just magnificent. The people are great too. Start a plan at goodranchers.com/wire. Get 50 bucks off plus free meat with every order. You can build your own box starting as low as under 29 bucks. That's goodranchers.com/wire. 50 bucks off plus free meat with every order. goodranchers.com/wire. goodranchers.com, American meat delivered.

Marco Rubio sends Iranian negotiators packing after peace talks stall, while President Trump signals Iran had a role in two thwarted terror attacks.

SPEAKER_4 (1:55)

Iran was involved in the RAF Fairford failed terror plot. How will you respond? With confirmation, but it's looking like that.

John Bickley (2:04)

I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. Georgia Howe is off this morning. It's Friday, October 2nd. This is Morning Wire.

Amid a federal crackdown on drug trafficking and border crossings, opioid overdose deaths plummet. We talk to an official leading the charge against the drug trade.

Sara Carter (2:27)

And now the police are empowered to do their jobs. It's about law and order and saving American lives.

John Bickley (2:35)

And we give the latest on the fallout from a botched execution that made national headlines. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

We spend a lot of time here on Morning Wire talking about the American economy and the people who keep it running. That includes the farmers and ranchers producing the food we eat every day. American ranchers are competing with cheaper imported meat. And over time, that can make it harder for family farms and ranches to keep doing what they do.

So if supporting American agriculture matters to you, it's worth knowing where your meat actually comes from. That's something I appreciate about Good Ranchers. Every cut they send is clearly labeled, born, raised and harvested in the USA. Good Ranchers works with more than 100 local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100 percent American meat directly to your door. And the quality is excellent. I don't know about you, but I like knowing that when I stock my freezer, I'm also supporting American producers. Right now, you can get $50 off your first Good Ranchers order, plus free meat with every order when you start a plan. You can even build your own box starting as low as $129.

Visit goodranchers.com/wire to get $50 off. Again, that's Good ranchers.com/wire. Good ranchers.com, American meat delivered.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly cut off talks and ordered Iranian negotiators to leave the US while President Trump is threatening more strikes after the midterms. This comes as Iran has been potentially implicated in two thwarted terror attacks this week. Joining us now to discuss all this is Ben Domenech, host of the District Club. So Ben, there's a lot going on on the Iran front. Let's start with the Rubio move here. He booted out the Iran delegation. What drove that?

Ben Domenech (4:26)

Well, what drove that, John, is that the Iranian delegation that had gone to the United Nations General Assembly was, let's just say, they were taking their sweet time when it came to leaving New York City and thereabouts. They were having some fun, I think, enjoying the fruits of capitalism here in the West. And I think that Marco Rubio properly understanding that, if there's not going to be any progress on these negotiations, why is he letting these people have a fun time in the big city? Instead, he basically said, you've got to get these people out by the end of the day today.
