Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, would Before Sunrise have hit the same if they met in Cleveland instead of Vienna? We could find out after Trump proposed tariffs on foreign-made movies.
Ben, a Newark airport has been plunged into chaos after a multi-day meltdown of its air traffic control systems. It's Tuesday, May 6th. Let's ride.
The Pulitzer Prizes were handed out yesterday for excellence in journalism, and Toby, we were snubbed again. Just remember, Hitchcock was never given an Oscar for Best Director. Fortunately, all the awardees were more than worthy. The Wall Street Journal won an award for its coverage of Elon Musk's rise to power.
The Washington Post won the Breaking News Prize for its reporting on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. And ProPublica won the most prestigious prize for public service, with its coverage of the impact of state abortion bans across the country. In literature, the book James by Percival Everett, a retelling of the story of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's perspective, won the fiction prize.
And I read this book a few months ago. Great book if you're looking for a wreck.
Neil, one of these days our ships will come in, Toby's Trends will be honored for national reporting, or Neil's numbers will snag that public service award. We will get there. But seriously, a lot of the research that goes into producing our show, Morning Brew Daily, comes from the on-the-ground reporting that these reporters are doing.
So if you've ever learned something new or felt just a little bit smarter after a morning listen, you've got them to thank as well. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, everyone's talking about how this is the age of AI. Smart fridges, smart vacuums, smart-aleck kids who think ChachiBT know the answers to everything.
