I'm Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Bright-Bart News, and this is the the Brightbart News Daily podcast. This is a historic show.

It's my final show in the captain's chair, but we move forward. And in the opening, I wax a little

bit nostalgic, but I'm mostly looking ahead to the future and talking about some things that I'm

From the live show, there was just such an outpouring of love and support and emotion.

And I wanted to give you a little taste of that before my last show. So we're including a little 10-minute clip from the live show to wrap up my radio tenure on Brightport News Daily in

Sirius XM. We thought that would be a nice thing to do to cap off my final podcast.

Let's get into the news because it's a big news day yesterday.

And apropos, Hunter Biden demanded payment from a

Chinese businessman Henry Zhao. Jiao is of course featured in breaking Biden, as you can imagine.

And I will resist the temptation to read from portions of the book, which is inappropriate,
