Morning Wire XX
[0] Hey, I'm Daily Wire Editor -in -Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howl.
[1] It's Tuesday, October 4th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
[2] The Supreme Court kicked off a new session this week and on Tuesday heard oral arguments regarding Alabama's newest congressional map and whether or not it discriminates against black voters.
[3] Challenges to the Alabama map claim it dilutes their votes.
[4] If I know that I'm voting in a district where no matter how many times I come to vote for certain seats, My vote doesn't matter because of how the district has been drawn.
[5] Then there's little incentive for me to participate.
[6] New CNN polling shows a significant drop in support for Democrats among black voters, which could cost Democrats the U .S. Senate.
[7] Here's CNN senior data reporter Harry Inton.
[8] Look, black voters are the part, the core part of the Democratic Party.
[9] They're still getting 74 % support in the pre -election polling right now.
[10] But compare that to the final polling for 2020 president and 2018 Congress.
[11] Back in 2020, it was 84%.
[12] 85 % in 2018.
[13] Famed Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs stated on Tuesday that he believes the U .S. is responsible for the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines last week.
[14] He also warned that he believes the world is on a path toward nuclear war.
[15] Russia views this as a proxy war with the United States.
[16] And whatever one thinks about this, this is a path of extraordinarily dangerous escalation.
[17] Tony Bob Balensky, a whistleblower with business connections to President Joe Biden's son Hunter, is claiming that a disgraced FBI agent named Tim Tebow ghosted him after he brought forth evidence in the 2020 election about Biden family corruption.
[18] Tebow has since resigned from the FBI after the allegations of corruption against him surfaced.
[19] Bob Balensky relayed the story to Fox News Monday evening.
[20] Tim Tebow, in his last discussion with my legal counsel, was, listen, we know Tony's cooperating, we appreciate all the information he's provided, we will follow up with you.
[21] We're definitely going to have him come in for a follow -up interview or spend some more time on this.
[22] And I haven't heard from them since, nor have my lawyers.
[23] Georgia Senate Republican candidate Herschel Walker has strongly denied a report that he paid for a woman's abortion more than 10 years ago.
[24] Walker says he will sue The Daily Beast, which ran the story.
[25] Norwegian Cruise Line has confirmed that it's been in discussions with New York City to house migrants relocating to the city, though no official decision has yet been made.
[26] New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently claimed that the Big Apple is looking at all possible options for the influx of individuals from the U .S. southern border.
[27] That was something that the previous administrations, Bloomberg administration, of my understanding, they looked at that during a surge.
[28] And so we're looking at that as a temporary measure.
[29] On Tuesday morning, North Korea shot a ballistic missile over Japan, according to the Japanese Ministry of Defense.
[30] South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said the United States and South Korea carried out a joint air power demonstration in reaction to the test.
[31] And Planned Parenthood officials announced this week the clinic would soon hit the road in a 37 -foot RV, bringing abortion services near -bordering states that have since banned the procedure.
[32] Elon Musk has agreed to purchase Twitter for the original 44 billion.
[33] he offered in April.
[34] The announcement caused Twitter's stock to rise 13 % on Tuesday.
[35] Country music legend Loretta Lynn has died at age 90, her family confirmed Tuesday.
[36] Lynn, who's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, broke barriers in the country music industry.
[37] The singer -songwriter also took pride in her rural Kentucky background and sing about life and love.
[38] She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013.
