I'm Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Brightbart News, and this is the Brightport News Daily

podcast.

We cover a lot of ground in the opening of today's show.

First, Donald Trump has officially avoided the January the 6th committee subpoena, which is very

embarrassing for the committee, and some winning for Donald Trump.

Pete Buttigieg is getting torched for having yet another major transportation sector come under extreme duress under his watch.

This time it's the airline industry with all the Southwest Airlines cancellations.

We get into all that and some of his unlikely critics, which is fascinating stuff for his career and I think a long term for the Democrat Party.

Tech stocks are having their worst year ever,

which is yet more evidence the economy is in not particularly good shape. Kanye is missing.

That's right. You heard it here first on this show and now people are catching on. And finally,

we have an epic woke update today with some bad news for people who don't like child grooming.

And that's coming out of Tennessee and some good news coming out of Florida. We break it all down, plus a bunch of

headlines. Our guest today is the one and only Charlie Hurt, one of my good friends, and also

one of the most incisive political commentators around. We begin the segment with a caller

whose outrage by the

borat-like figure Santos, who won a house seat in New York. And then we launch into everything

under the sun from Christmas to the Obama's marriage, which is very bizarre, and the FBI's Gretchen

Whitmer kidnapping hoax, and so much more. It's always a blast when Charlie's on.

Let's get into it.

Thank you. We have a ton of news, actually that's going on, which is heartening, because this is the slowest news week of the year, but there's a ton of going on.

First one is some good news.
