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

Thanks to everyone for being patient with me as I continue some big research projects that I will, I promise,

fill everyone in on when the time is right. But I'm in today, and I will also be in for a show

tomorrow because tonight, as we're recording this, is the State of the Union address, and I like to respond

to Joe Biden and break down some of the stuff he's saying, and I think it's important to do that.

So we'll do that on tomorrow's show, and then we'll have another podcast for you then.

We begin today's show with an examination of the latest details of the China spy balloon saga, Joe Biden's weakness,

and a lot of fake news surrounding the events, a lot of flashbang grenades being set off by the Biden

administration, and the media. And we try to break down for you what we know and what it all

could mean. But I'll tell you one of the conclusions

is yet again, Joe Biden looks bad on the world stage. We do a brief preview of the state

of the Union address. We give some details of the horrific Turkey earthquake, which could really

have some significant geopolitical fallout, aside from the human devastation. It's going to create,

I think, a big void for some of America's

adversaries to step in. I think that there has been reports that ISIS criminals could get

released and also it could drive up prices of energy. So it's really, really a bad thing for a

million different reasons. And I try to give some details there. There's a long woke update today,

lots of really horrific stuff, starting from Disney and emanating from there and other topics

get covered in the opening as well. Our guest today is Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, who

details her trip to San Diego, where she went to the border. She also met with Mexican officials in Mexico City.

She's trying to engage Mexican leaders to stop the flow of fentanyl into our country.

We discussed that, and then I get her take on the Chinese spy balloon, wasted COVID relief money, and more.
