Morning Wire XX
[0] I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor -in -Chief John Bickley.
[1] It's Monday, May 1st, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
[2] Texas authorities are offering a $130 ,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Francisco or appraza.
[3] Orapraza is accused of killing five individuals, including an eight -year -old child on Friday night.
[4] The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
[5] Here's San Jacinto County Sheriff, Greg Capers.
[6] Our number one priority has been to locate this suspect and put him behind bars where he belongs.
[7] Here's a list of the agencies which we're here with us on this manhunt.
[8] The FBI, U .S. Marshal's Office, DPS, TDC, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Montgomery County Constable's Office, Precinct 4, ATF, and the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
[9] In a historic first, Ford Motor Company will soon begin importing the Lincoln Nautilus SUV from China.
[10] Here with more is Daily Wire Senior Editor Joel Needler.
[11] This marks the first time ever that Ford will manufacture a car in China for U .S. import.
[12] The SUVs will be an electric gasoline hybrid power train, and a Ford executive said that making the SUVs in China was the most practical decision.
[13] Previously, these vehicles were manufactured and imported from Canada.
[14] We are already building Nautilus in China, Lincoln President Diane Craig said in mid -April, it just made sense to centralize our Nautilus production.
[15] Now, industry experts are calling for higher auto tariffs on China to encourage car companies to increase domestic production of vehicles and manufacturing.
[16] American Airlines pilots have voted to authorize a strike just as the busy summer travel season begins.
[17] The union, which represents 15 ,000 pilots, is asking for a raise and better working conditions from the Texas -based company.
[18] A spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association says the current scheduling has them feeling maxed out.
[19] Right now, post -pandemic, we are being scheduled to the maximum causing further delays.
[20] So what management needs to do is join us to secure this summer.
[21] You've got 15 ,000 pilots that have said enough is enough.
[22] But don't cancel your travel plans yet.
[23] Both sides say they are close to reaching an agreement.
[24] J .P. Morgan Chase assumed control of First Republic Bank on Monday after it collapsed due to turmoil in the financial sector.
[25] Daily Wire Senior Editor Cabot Phillips has more.
[26] The San Francisco -based bank, which collapsed in March after a run from depositors, was acquired Monday by J .P. Morgan Chase, already the largest bank in the U .S., and the largest bank in the world by market capitalization.
[27] J .P. Morgan will now acquire all of First Republic's $103 .9 billion in deposits and most of the bank's $229 billion in assets.
[28] The office is controlled by First Republic, which had been closed, reopened today as branches of J .P. Morgan Chase.
[29] The National Police Association is suing the governments of Nashville and Davidson County for their refusal to disclose the manifesto of the Nashville shooter.
[30] Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce reports.
[31] The Police Association's open records request asked for all writings by Audrey Hale recovered by Nashville PD during the March 27th raid.
[32] The request also asked for all records and communications, including emails and texts to and from Nashville PD that mention or relate to the writing.
[33] The Association wants to find out whether Nashville PD has faced political pressure to keep information hidden related to the shooting.
[34] And tonight, stars will take to the red carpet for the Met Gala in New York City, which is always held on the first Monday in May. This year's event will be centered around the late Carl Lagerfeld.
[35] Lagerfeld is best known for revitalizing Chanel in the 1980s after the luxury brand experienced a period of decline after the death of its namesake founder.
