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

I am in the captain's chair today.

This is a brand-new show.

I did promise yesterday that I was going to have a planned absence, but there was just too

much shocking new details that broke over the last 24 hours on the Evaldi massacre.

No matter what your preferred narrative is, it probably shifted. And I felt it was

important to break it all down for you, give you all the new information and try to start making

sense of what it means. And again, we don't have a lot of answers yet, but certainly things have

changed and you're going to hear all about it in just a moment. But I'll tell you a big one to tease

it out. Contra to what was reported by a

esteemed journalist Jimmy Kimmel, there was no armed guard at the school. So we get into that.

And much more in the opening of the show. Breitbart News broke overnight that the police

lacked an essential piece of equipment that is necessary for active shooter situations. I get into that as well, plus

the rest of the timeline as we know it, then a few other headlines and other key news items.

Our guest today is Brandon Darby, who is Breitbart's Border and Cartel Chronicles director,

but he also heads up our Texas coverage. So he knows more about the,

of all the situation than anyone else at Breitbart,

and probably pretty much anyone else in media.

So we get his brain on that.

And it's very enlightening and important.

And we'll probably check in with him on the show early next week as well.

Then we have our caller of the day.
