I'm Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Vickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, October 3rd, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update. In a 216 to 210 vote, the GOP-controlled House has voted to take the gavel away from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Eight Republicans joined with Democrats to oust the House Speaker this afternoon. This comes after GOP Florida Congressman Matt Gates filed a motion to vacate the Speaker's chair last night. McCarthy and his supporters say that. that Gates was on a personal vendetta, while Gates says that McCarthy has failed to deliver on his promises to the American people. McCarthy called for a vote this morning saying he was confident he would survive. But as the day went on, the speaker changed his tune.

Expecting Democrats to back you up then? No, I personally am not. Do you need their help to remain in leadership? No. If five Republicans go with Democrats, then I'm out. So it's whether, probably so. This is the first time in U.S. history that a Speaker of the House has been voted out of office. President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, pleaded not guilty this morning to a trio of felony gun charges at a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware. Daily Wire senior editor, Joel Niedler, has the latest. A federal grand jury indicted 53-year-old Biden last month on counts related to his purchase of a cult cobra revolver while he was a drug addict in October 2018. Biden faces a maximum of 25 years in prison and up to $750,000 in fines if convicted.

After Biden pleaded not guilty, the judge explained the terms of his release, which reportedly included supervision by a U.S. probation officer in the Central District of California, seeking employment, and not using drugs or alcohol.

Democratic Representative Henry Quayar was carjacked at gunpoint in Washington, D.C. on Monday night. The congressman whose district is on the U.S. southern border was unharmed and his car was recovered roughly an hour later. Quayar addressed the incident this morning.

Yeah, I was just coming into my place. Three guys came out of nowhere and they pointed guns at me. So they said they wanted my car. I said, sure. You've got to keep calm on those situations, and then they took off. They recovered the car. They recovered everything. What really got me upset was they took by sushi.

But anyway, that's something else. And they did recover the sushi after all. Now, congressional officials are calling on the House to crack down on D.C. crime. This week, a new zero-cash bail policy went into effect in Los Angeles County. Now the majority of people arrested in L.A. will be released from custody rather than kept in jail on cash bail unless they are accused of the most serious of crimes. Critics say it will now allow dangerous criminals to remain on the streets, but L.A. District Attorney George Gascone defended the policy in an interview with Fox 11 L.A. Monday night.

I believe that how much money you have in your bank account should not determine whether you're going to get out or not. I strongly believe that if you have an open case, you should not be released. If we determine that you're a danger to our community, you should not be released. It doesn't matter how much money you have. On the other hand, if it doesn't appear that you're a danger to our community, you don't have other open cases, we have a whole structure that's being built around releasing a person and allowing the person show up for court when they're being cited. The New York judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Trump deflated Trump's claims of a win scored yesterday in the early hours of the trial. Today, Judge Arthur Engeran said that, quote,

Statutes of limitations bar claims, not evidence. And at least during the trial's early stages, he will allow some flexibility to connect older evidence to claims in the lawsuit.

Relevant statute of limitations rules out related claims from before a date in 2014. Trump's legal team has argued that the time limit cuts off most of the statute. of the case.
