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

Happy New Year to one and all.

We begin the show with a fair bit of news, starting with China infecting the world yet again.

With more Wuhan virus, and thanks to Joe Biden, we appear to be pretty much defenseless.

We discussed Donald Trump's latest comments on abortion, Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus,

Dunking, and the Socialist. Media wokeness gone wild. Short people apparently fight global warming

just by existing. Pretty cool. I didn't know that until I read the New York Times over the weekend.

And much more. We then get into the Speaker of the House vote and other items that are front and

center with the new Congress, which is sworn in today, those of you who are listening

the day of the show comes out. And we pick up that discussion with our guest, Bright Barth Politics

editor Emma Joe Morris. And we break down the Speaker debate and other political items before we

wrap up with a surprise winner of a man of the year award,

which you won't want to miss.

All that to come.

Let's get into it.

Thank you. I will say I will start with one programming note for any of you who've not been around for the last few weeks.

But as I mentioned briefly, and I'm going to continue to be vague about this.

I've been busier than usual, and that's going to continue for the next several weeks.

I'm working on a couple of projects.

One really major one that I will announce you guys when the time is right, but I'm kind of 24-7 on that.

When I'm not doing my basic responsibilities is editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, which are extensive, as you can imagine. So some overtime editing, wordsmithing, et cetera. So there's

going to be a lot of days we're not going to be here over the next month or two months.
