Hey, I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howl. It's Tuesday, October 4th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update. 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. Challenges to the Alabama map claim it dilutes their votes. 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. Then there's little incentive for me to participate.

New CNN polling shows a significant drop in support for Democrats among black voters, which could cost Democrats the U.S. Senate. Here's CNN senior data reporter Harry Inton. Look, black voters are the part, the core part of the Democratic Party. They're still getting 74% support in the pre-election polling right now. But compare that to the final polling for 2020 president and 2018 Congress. Back in 2020, it was 84%, 85% in 2018. 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. He also warned that he believes the world is on a path toward nuclear war. Russia views this as a proxy war with the United States. And whatever one thinks about this, this is a path of extraordinary. extraordinarily dangerous escalation. Tony Bobbalinsky, 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.

Tebow has since resigned from the FBI after the allegations of corruption against him surfaced. Bob Balensky relayed the story to Fox News Monday evening. Tim Tebow, in his last discussion with my legal counsel, was, listen, we note Tony's cooperating. We appreciate all the information he's provided. We will follow up with you. We're definitely going to have them come in for a follow-up interview or spend some more time on this. And I haven't heard from them since, nor have my lawyers. Georgia Senate Republican candidate Herschel Walker has strongly denied a report that he paid for a woman's abortion more than 10 years ago. Walker says he will sue the Daily Beast, which ran the story.

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. 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. That was something that the previous administrations, Bloomberg administration, of my understanding, they looked at that during a surge, and so we're looking at that as a temporary measure. On Tuesday morning, North Korea shot a ballistic missile over Japan, according to the Japanese Ministry of Defense.

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. 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. Elon Musk has agreed to purchase Twitter for the original $44 billion he offered in April. The announcement caused Twitter's stock to rise 13% on Tuesday. Country music legend Loretta Lynn has died at age 90, her family confirmed Tuesday. Lynn, who's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, broke barriers in the country music industry.
