--:-- Georgia Howe: I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Monday, January 22nd, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
--:-- John Bickley: It's the final day of campaigning in New Hampshire before the presidential primary in the state. On the GOP side, only Donald Trump and Nikki Haley remain.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: On the eve of election day, former president Donald Trump is making his final pitch to New Hampshire voters, alongside three campaign rivals turned supporters, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Doug Burgum.
--:-- Georgia Howe: For her part, Nikki Haley has been joined on the trail by the state's popular Republican governor, Chris Sununu.
--:-- Georgia Howe: New Hampshire Democrats will also hold their own primary, though President Joe Biden will not appear on the ballot. That's because the Democratic National Committee failed to sanction the election after deciding South Carolina should be the first presidential primary state.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Author Marianne Williamson and Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips will, however, appear on the Democratic ballot. Biden is still expected to win thanks to the support of a large write-in effort.
--:-- Cassie Dillon: I'm on the ground in New Hampshire and spoke to one of the six people from Dixville Notch who will cast the first votes at midnight tonight.
--:-- [Sound of a person speaking]
--:-- Cassie Dillon: I'm voting for Nikki Haley. I think that if she doesn't win the Republican nomination and Trump does, a lot of people will end up voting for Biden because they're not fans of President Trump. I think we've had enough of Joe and it's time for Joe to go.
--:-- Georgia Howe: A judge ruled Monday that the divorce case of Nathan Wade be made public. Wade is the special prosecutor in Fulton County DA Fani Willis' racketeering and election interference case against former President Trump.
--:-- Maraid Elordi: Willis and Wade are allegedly romantically linked. Here with more is Daily Wire reporter Maraid Elordi.
--:-- Maraid Elordi: Judge Henry Thompson, who's overseeing the Wade's divorce case, said Monday that the case should be unsealed, potentially making details of Willis and Wade's alleged affair public.
--:-- Maraid Elordi: Wade had asked for the case to be sealed as he pursued Trump. Judge Thompson also paused a deposition from Willis, who was subpoenaed to testify in the divorce case earlier this month.
--:-- Maraid Elordi: The judge, however, did not rule out Willis having to testify, saying he would wait to hear Wade's testimony before deciding if Willis's testimony is needed.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The U.S. military announced on Sunday that the two Navy SEALs who went missing nearly two weeks ago during a nighttime mission off the African coast are now presumed dead.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The SEALs were conducting a nighttime mission on January 11th, which involved the boarding of a boat carrying Iranian weapons. One of the SEALs was knocked off by powerful ocean waves, prompting the other SEAL to jump into the water to help rescue him.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Central Command said in a statement Sunday that after a 10-day exhaustive search, the two Navy SEALs have not been located and their status has been changed to deceased.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The Supreme Court has refused to take up Devin Archer's appeal of his 2018 conviction for defrauding a Native American tribe.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Archer was initially sentenced to one year and one day of jail time by a federal jury, but he's been out on bail pending his appeal. Archer used to be a business partner of Hunter Biden, who is not implicated in this case.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro in Poland today to visit the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp and sit down for a wide-ranging discussion.
--:-- Ben Shapiro: We should always be wary of any name that sounds like it could come out of a George Orwell book. That's never a good sign.
--:-- Ben Shapiro: Because it sounds like, sure, diversity, equity, inclusion, these all sound like nice words. But what it really means is discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and sexual orientation. And it's against merit.
--:-- Ben Shapiro: The two also addressed why the legacy media appears threatened by Musk's social media platform, X.
--:-- Ben Shapiro: Legacy media has spent an awful lot of ink on you. There's been a lot of attempts to paint you as anti or paint X as anti. Where do you think that's coming from?
--:-- Elon Musk: Well, the reality is that X is competition for the legacy media. You know, X is where people go to get the most current news and learn about the world. So the legacy media is our direct competitors.
--:-- Elon Musk: So they're really going to find every angle to try to cancel X.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, opened a new temple today dedicated to one of Hinduism's most worshipped icons, Lord Ram.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Hundreds of thousands of Indians traveled to the event to witness the opening of the seven-acre massive sandstone temple, which cost $217 million to build.
--:-- Georgia Howe: While Hindus are praising the event as a dream fulfilled, the temple is also subject to controversy because India is a secular country and the location once housed a Muslim mosque that was destroyed three decades ago.
--:-- Georgia Howe: And 47 people were buried in a landslide in a remote village in southwestern China early this morning.
--:-- Georgia Howe: According to state media, it took hours for emergency services to reach the victims due to icy roads and snowy conditions.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Over the course of the day, 500 people were evacuated from the area, nine bodies were retrieved, and two survivors were rescued.
