Now, we've all heard the radio ads about owing the IRS money. They try to scare you and frighten you in the calling. Well, tax relief advocates is different.

Tax relief advocates, real solutions for real people. Fast food stops with the family are out of control. What used to be $20 is now $40 or $50. Keeping up with household expenses gets harder every month. If you're a homeowner sitting on soaring credit card balances, you've probably considered calling American financing. But then you hesitate thinking about the low mortgage rate you currently have. Well, here's the reality. Hanging on to a low rate doesn't help if high interest credit cards are 22%, 25% or even 28% and eating up your monthly income. And that's where the numbers shift in your favor. American financing can offer mortgage rates in the fives. Use your hard earned equity to wipe out high interest credit card debt. Instead of making minimum payments on restaurant tabs for years, you could join thousands of homeowners saving an average of $800 a month with American financing. No upfront fees, no pressure, no cost to find out your potential monthly savings. Plus, starting now could mean delaying up to two mortgage payments.

America remembers September 11th, 25 years after the deadliest terror attacks in US history.

George W. Bush (2:29)

We will never forget those we lost and we will never forget the immortal heroes of September 11th.

John Bickley (2:36)

I'm Daily Wire, executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, September 11th. This is Morning Wire.

Georgia Howe (2:51)

The 9-11 attacks prompted a massive response from the US. We talked to one of the pilots called into service in the weeks that followed.

Trey Morris (2:59)

One minute I'm managing people and telecom resources and three weeks later, four weeks later I'm over the skies of Afghanistan in combat missions.

John Bickley (3:09)

And Centcom slaps down more claims about Iranian strikes as the US takes out more targets. We have the latest on the conflict.

Steve Yates (3:17)

There isn't this perceived leverage. The maximum pressure is going to work. It's really time for you to make your deal before it's too late.

Georgia Howe (3:24)

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

For generations, female athletes have fought for the right to compete on a fair and level playing field. Today, those opportunities are being threatened again. Athletes like Sophie Cunningham are speaking up and reminding the WNBA of a simple truth. Biological differences matter in sports. But the fight is bigger than one athlete or league. It's about protecting opportunities for the next generation of girls. Concerned Women for America, the largest Christian women's policy group in America, is standing up for female athletes and calling on organizations like the WNBA to remember what the W stands for. Join Concerned Women for America and add your name to the petition today. Go to concernedwomen.org/wire.

Today marks 25 years since the worst domestic attack in US history. Terrorists killed nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11th and changed this nation forever.

Georgia Howe (4:21)

Here with a look at those major commemorations and the controversy surrounding them is Daily Wire culture reporter, Megan Basham. So Megan, after 25 years, I'm sure we have some younger listeners who don't remember that day.

So can you just remind us what unfolded that morning?

Megan Basham (4:38)

Yeah, Georgia, you know, for me, I will never forget watching on television as the planes hit the towers after 19 Islamic terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and used them basically as weapons. So two targeted the World Trade Center towers, one hit the Pentagon and of course United Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers fought back. So in all, 2,977 victims were killed, not counting those hijackers, and that number included 343 firefighters.
