The latest numbers are set for release about whether inflation is going up or down in America. I’ll explain what to expect — and what it means. Second, The Biden White House is about to sell more of the nation’s emergency supply of oil, which will take us to the lowest levels since 1983. Third, there was a terrible spill of industrial chemicals in eastern Ohio a little over a week ago. It’s a story that deserves our attention, so I’ll fill you in on the latest. Fourth, some good news in our Battle for the Pacific. More island nations are choosing America over China. Later, we close out the podcast with news of a US company choosing China over America.

Third, an update to the German spy saga we talked about in December. And this update reads like a script for a movie.

I’ve got a special State of the Union brief for you this morning that helps explain America — and the world. Last night, Joe Biden delivered the annual State of the Union address in Washington DC. As expected, he touted his accomplishments on a range of issues, domestically and abroad. Although, not everybody agreed with his assessments. Politicians do tend to brag about things they didn’t actually do. And that’s what we’re going to focus on this morning. We’re going to talk about what Biden said regarding the issues of greatest importance to you — and his record on each, using polling and data. In fact, what polls show is that you are most interested in and worried about three things: The Economy, Immigration, and Education. But that’s just on the domestic front. We’re also going to talk about what you all think of Biden’s handling our most pressing global threat — which is China. And then, before I let you go, we’ll close out the podcast with a note on what the world thinks of the state of our union. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ve got three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, leaders from the US, Canada, and Mexico are celebrating trade between their nations this morning. All connected to a free trade agreement called USMCA. But China has found a sneaky way to get in the middle of it — and take advantage. I’ve got the story and solutions coming up. Second, the Taliban just inked a deal worth over $500M dollars to sell its untapped oil and gas. I’ll explain that deal and how it could impact us here in America. Third, we head to southern Africa this morning where two leaders are blaming climate change for their energy troubles. I’ll explain why that’s not true — plus how that excuse will probably become much more common in the future. Finally, we close out the podcast with an update on the Biden Intel Scandal, with more information out this morning on what was in those classified documents that Mr. Biden and his team took from the White House years ago. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

That’s where the leaders of Canada, the US, and Mexico are gathered this morning talking drugs, immigration, and trade. Then second, we leave North America and head to a breaking story out of Brazil.

December 30th, 2022. Dirty Green Energy: Electric Vehicles
It’s December 30th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Today is the final episode of our five part series this week on the Dirty Green Revolution. Over the past week, we’ve talked about solar panels, wind turbines, and the batteries that store and distribute their energy. But, as the facts make clear, none of that stuff is clean, green, or renewable at all, despite what proponents might say. It all comes with some pretty horrible costs. And that’s why we call it Dirty Green Energy. Well today we’re wrapping up the series with the one thing that will touch us all profoundly about this Dirty Energy Revolution. And that’s Electric Vehicles. And that’s because over the past several months, the States of California, New York, Washington and others have passed laws saying that if you want to buy a new car starting in the year 2035, it must be electric. There will be no new, gas powered cars ever sold again in those states after that year. And it’s not just these states. Some car manufacturers are agreeing to that deadline it too. General Motors, for instance, has announced that they’ll stop building gas powered cars by 2035. So, folks, we have to talk about this. As consumers, yes, but also as a country. We have to understand whether we should embrace Electric Vehicles or should we do whatever it takes to stop or slow that industry down until we can address the very dirty facts about these cars. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

December 29th, 2022. Dirty Green Energy: Renewable Energy Batteries, Part 2.
It’s December 29th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Today is Part IV of our Series on Dirty Green Energy — Or as some might say, “renewable energy” or “clean energy.” But always we here at the PDB are asking, “How clean or green is this stuff - really?” Well, so far we’ve discovered that solar panels are not clean or green. They use Chinese slave labor and lots of coal energy to create polysilicon. And we know that wind energy is very dirty too. It’s killing America’s national bird — the bald eagle — but the federal government won’t tell us how many. How odd. Then of course we have to talk about the batteries that store and distribute the dirty green power that comes from solar and wind. Well, yesterday, we talked about the Dirty Minerals that go inside those batteries. And as we now know — Lithium and Cobalt in particular — are very dirty for America: they have to be mined in other countries, and in some cases, the people mining are little children, some only six years old. Today we’re looking at the next, dirty step in the battery process. We gotta explore the refining, the manufacturing, the life, and the ultimate death of these batteries. But before we get going, let’s remind ourselves of the goal of this Dirty Green Energy Series. It is not to degrade solar or wind or batteries because they deserve some sort of unique or targeted prosecution for their sins. Instead, it’s inform ourselves that Green Energy isn’t green at all, but rather very dirty, and we need to hold that industry to the same standards as we do for traditional forms of energy like oil, gas, and coal. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

December 28th, 2022. Dirty Green Energy: Renewable Energy Batteries, Part 1
It’s December 28th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Welcome back to Part III of this week’s updated and refreshed series on Dirty Green Energy. Others might call it Renewable Energy, or Clean Energy. But not us, not here. That’s because we’re setting aside the spin and agendas, and instead we’re sticking to the facts. And it turns out, the facts and data say there’s nothing clean or green about the two issues we’ve already covered: solar and wind energy. Today we’re going to talk about batteries. Ah, but as it turns out, we need two different briefs on how dirty these things are. First we’ll tackle the minerals inside those batteries, and then — in tomorrow’s brief — we’ll talk about the dirty process of refining and manufacturing these batteries. But before we begin: a reminder. The goal of this series is to remind ourselves of one very important and often ignored fact: every form of energy comes with a cost. Whether that be environmental, humanitarian, national security, or reliability. And we all know that’s true for traditional forms of energy like natural gas and oil. That’s why the media and politicians like to call it Dirty Oil or Dirty Coal. But we rarely if ever hear about those dirty costs related to solar, wind, and electric vehicles. Why is that? Hmm. Odd. Well here on the PDB we’re going to do what others won’t. We’re going to talk about facts and then let you decide whether it’s dirty or clean, and whether it’s smart for America to adopt this industry for its energy future. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

December 27th, 2022. Dirty Green Energy: Wind Farms
It’s December 27th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s day two of Dirty Green Energy — that’s this week’s updated and refreshed five part series looking at what many folks might otherwise know as Renewable Energy. And we’re focused on this issue for one simple reason: Whether you like it or not, America is radically changing. We are being forced to drop oil, gas, and coal for things like solar, wind, and batteries to store their power. And that’s because proponents of this energy revolution say that climate change is an existential crisis. And Renewable or Green energy will help stop it or even reverse it. But is that true? Yesterday we talked about Solar Energy and as it turns out, it is not clean, green, or renewable. It’s very dirty. That doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t buy it — that’s your choice. But know you know much more of the truth, and so you can purchase or support Dirty Green Solar Panels with your eyes wide open. Well that was yesterday. Today we are talking about wind energy. So what do you think: are we going to find more dirty green facts about that wind energy? Oh yes, my friends, such much dirty to discuss. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

For folks new to the podcast, you might not know what that is. But I bet you’ve heard about Green Energy, or Renewable Energy. Yes, we’re talking about solar panels and wind turbines. Plus the batteries that store and distribute all of that energy. And of course who could forget electric vehicles in this Green Revolution! But — and there’s always a but — how green is that green energy? That’s not a question we hear asked much is it? Instead, we hear about dirty oil, dirty coal, and dirty natural gas. The argument goes that they’re all dirty because of their terrible environmental records. Their ties to foreign dictators. And, of course, their causing of climate change. But what about Green Energy? Is it really green, clean, or renewable? Well that’s what we’re digging into all this week. It’s an update and a refresh on my five part series of whether this new energy revolution is really the picture of purity that we are so often told / or rather are there dirty secrets that people would prefer we not talk about. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ve got some answers. Second, we head to Ireland where that country’s government has confirmed that some of their cows must die to stop climate change.

I’ve got that update, plus why some of the weapons we’ve sent to Ukraine aren’t working anymore. Second, news this morning out of the Pacific Island nations of Vanuatu and Fiji.

Second, another electricity crisis to tell you about, this one in the southern African countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Third, illegal migrants in America are using social media to coordinate their travel around the country, that’s surprising city officials when they suddenly just show up. Fourth, America’s spies just about welcomed a new set of colleagues: former marijuana users. Some GOP Senators put a stop to that plan. Finally, a weather forecast that we should all care about — it’s called La Niña, with important implications for the global economy. Later, we close out the podcast with my response to the prisoner swap yesterday between America and Russia. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

November 24th, 2022. Thanksgiving Day Special: Jimmy Spessard, CIA Hero.
It’s November 24th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Thanksgiving of 1989. There was a home in Hagerstown, Maryland that was full of a lot of joy. Probably a lot like your home today. The Spessard family was celebrating Thanksgiving, with a dad named Jimmy, his young wife Debra, and their two small sons, Jared and Jason. The next day Jimmy would be leaving town for a while. For two weeks, was the plan. He’s was heading to the country called Zaire – we now know that country as The Democratic Republic of the Congo. But as fate would have it, Thanksgiving of 1989 would be the last one that Jimmy would celebrate with his family. And you know what? He knew it. So today we’re going to remember and celebrate the life of Jimmy Spessard. He’s but one of the CIA Officers who died in the line of duty and is now remembered at CIA headquarters with a star chiseled into a very special marble wall in the Old Headquarters Building. I offer you this story of remembrance and celebration as we all gather today just like Jimmy did back in 1989. I hope it’s a wonderful reminder to us all of how thankful we ought to be to so many who have been of service to this country. And of the many more likely to come. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s November 22nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve got a Special Brief for you this morning that is shaping America — and the world. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been traveling in Southeast Asia over the past week. Ms. Harris is in the Philippines this morning, while Mr. Biden was in Indonesia last week. Now most of the headlines during their travels have focused on things like China, climate change, and military cooperation. And all of that has degrees of merit. But there was one development that the headlines didn’t capture – and you probably didn’t hear about it either. Yet it’s the story of the most profound importance. And not just for you and me or even America. But the entire world. Because folks there’s a battle brewing this morning. It’s a battle over renewable energy. And depending on how it plays out, it could affect the balance of global power – and the lives of families just like yours. So grab your maps, ladies and gentlemen – on your computer, phone or in your mind – and come with me this morning on a trip around the world — with stops in Indonesia, South America, and the Congo. And by traveling together we’ll come to understand the importance of this story that nobody else is talking about. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Fourth, some of Europe’s businesses are relocating to the United States, all because of our cheap, reliable energy.

But there wasn’t much more than talk to those meetings. I’ll discuss that. Second, Mr. Biden’s next stop is in Indonesia, meeting with China’s president today amongst others.

November 11th, 2022. Veteran's Day Special: Hugh Francis Redmond
It’s November 11th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Seventy Seven years ago this month, there was a veteran in Yonkers, New York who was sitting at home after being discharged from the military, having been wounded in World War II. His name was Hugh Redmond. Today we’re going to re-tell the story of Hugh Redmond his incredible life, his service as an intelligence officer, and his eventual death. And the reason that we’re focusing on it today is because of events happening next week. Joe Biden is traveling to Asia and, based on reporting from Reuters News, he will likely meet the President of China. And it’s in China where Hugh Redmond died. A captive held for over 15 years by the Chinese Government, often in solitary confinement and often tortured. To this day, we’re not really sure what happened to Hugh — officials in Beijing told us a story at the time but neither the US Government nor Hugh’s family ever believed it. So today I want to remind us of Hugh’s story of courage, tenacity, and love of country all as America’s president goes face to face with China’s President. It’s a story worth re-telling, folks, because as PDB listeners know, we face the growing prospect of war between China and America. And if that happens, we are going to need men and women just like Hugh Redmond. A new generation of American fighters who are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure freedom and liberty for all. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s November 10th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ We are two days out from America’s midterm elections. The Republicans have probably won the House of Representatives; confirmation likely sometime today. The Senate, however, is still up for grabs. I’ll leave it to others to get into the nitty gritty of all that, but here’s the bottom line: assuming Republicans take control of the House, things are likely going to be different in Washington DC. But how different will it be? That’s a question that not only Americans are asking this morning but also the politicians, diplomats, and spies in places like Mexico, China, and Russia. And that will be the focus of today’s special brief: How will this election affect our foreign relations? And how will that affect you? Because that’s what I’m most interested in here at the PDB: how all this foreign stuff impacts your daily lives and that of your family. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

And we’ll talk more about those tomorrow and next week. But there’s still a lot of other stuff happening out there. So let’s do a Big Five Update. Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world. First, the Pentagon has admitted it has boots on the ground in Ukraine, with the goal of trying to understand what’s happening to all that weaponry we’re sending to Kiev. Second, China’s looking to make a new friend in Central America, and the way that they’re doing it, is pretty sneaky. Third, a record number of Americans are moving to Mexico, of all places, but some Mexicans aren’t very happy about that. Fourth, there’s a pending rule by the US Government that could mean America’s farmers and ranchers have to track the greenhouse gas emissions on all of their operations. Finally, we’ve got another outbreak of bird flu in Iowa and that might mean higher chicken and turkey prices right before Thanksgiving.

So we’re going to cover those claims and let you decide whether The End is Near, as some are saying, or rather that America is alive and pretty darn well.

Your morning intel starts now. ------ The CDC announced a few months back that, if you are an American between the ages of 18 and 45, there’s one thing that’s killing your generation more than any other: drug overdoses, especially by fentanyl.

It’s November 3rd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s election time, but not just here in America. There’s one country in Europe where voters just put back into power a prime minister who slaughtered 15 million animals over COVID fears. We’re going to talk about the lessons that leaves for voters here in America. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, America’s college freshmen and sophomores are struggling this year with the basics — like reading and math — all because of COVID policies when they were in high school. I’ll share what school administrators are finding. Second, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates yesterday to reverse inflation. But they also put a report out saying it might take a long, long time to do that. And as always, we’ve got a listener question. Today it’s about why I don’t discuss social issues much on the PDB. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s November 2nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ For years we’ve heard about dirty oil, dirty coal, and dirty natural gas.

Today is Columbus Day. I sure hope you’re spending it in celebration, maybe some rest too. Regardless, today we are going to remind ourselves of the incredible story of Douglas Seymour MacKiernan. It’s part of the series I like to do on holidays, to highlight my brothers and sisters at the CIA who have died in line of duty — I want to share their lives and their sacrifice. And Douglas Seymour MacKiernan, what an example of that. For decades no one knew his story. And that’s not surprising, he worked undercover. But this morning we should talk about him. Because it’s an extraordinary story, not only for the time in which he lived but for us too. Because the enemy that he faced — Communist China — is the same one that we face today. So come with me on this journey, one that starts in Mexico City, onward to Massachusetts, then ends on a patch of frozen ground in China, just a few feet shy of what would have been Doug MacKiernan’s freedom. All that, plus what Doug’s life means for America now, on this special edition of the President’s Daily Brief. We’ll be right back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For those unaware, we had a four part series, starting on September 12th, that look into solar, wind, batteries, and the mining of materials to make those batteries. The goal was to apply a critical eye towards these renewable industries and ask whether they’re really as green and without cost as proponents tell us. Well one thing we didn’t look into a few weeks back was Electric Vehicles. And it’s really important that we do. The reason: Joe Biden signed a $370B bill last month, with billions to make sure you buy one of these electric vehicles. Plus, in the past two weeks, the States of California, New York, and others have passed laws banning the sale of new, gas powered vehicles by the year 2035. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Joe Biden’s spokesman dismissed the concern, calling it a “home ownership” issue unworthy of his time. So we’ll discuss that statement, explore the facts, and let you decide. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the official price tag is out for the Biden Administration’s student loan forgiveness plan. I’ve got that number plus a reminder that most borrowers say they don’t need the assistance. Second, an update on the War in Ukraine — specifically whether Russian men are fleeing their country to avoid being forced into service. And, of course, we’ve got a listener’s question, today from Blaine in Nebraska, who wrote in wondering if he’s the only one worried about gas and groceries, not climate change. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, a Wheat War update. We’ve got some cranky farmers in Europe, claiming Ukraine’s wheat and corn are flooding their market — not poor countries abroad. Second, you’ve probably seen the headlines about Martha’s Vineyard and the immigration debate. We’ve got a fresh poll out that shows whether the American people support what the Republicans are doing. And finally, the last thing before I let you go.

It’s September 15th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ We’ve got the final brief today on Dirty Green — that’s this week’s series on whether renewable energy is as green as proponents say or, instead, if it’s full of dirty secrets. Today we’re talking batteries. And I mean everything from the refiners, the manufacturers, and what happens when these specialized batteries stop working. Here’s a hint: they’re starting fires and causing over a $1B dollars in damages. That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. The pending rail-road strike is one day closer to happening.

But what he probably won’t be celebrating are all the Dirty Green secrets buried inside those cars, secrets that the PDB is sharing all this week. Today we’re talking about perhaps the dirtiest secret of all: mining for the minerals that go into the batteries that fuel the dirty green revolution. That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. We’ve got a potential rail-road strike to talk about, and it could make our bad inflation much, much worse.

All dirty because of their environmental record, plus their tie to foreign dictators. Well today begins a five part series on Dirty Green. We’ll explore the debate of whether renewable energy is really the picture of purity that we are so often told or whether there are dirty secrets to the environment and connections to dictators abroad. Today, we kick off the series exploring solar panels. That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar.

Last Saturday, about 70,000 people in the Czech Republic gathered to protest the war in Ukraine and their outrage at higher electricity prices stemming from the war. It is the first time we’ve seen something of this magnitude over the War of Attrition — which of course is the battle between Russia, Ukraine, and the West. Today we’re going to talk about this first big protest in the Czech Republic, plus another one planned in Germany, and then explore how bad things are really getting inside of Europe. As always, we’ll talk about why this is so important to us — even though it’s thousands of miles away.

Fourth, you will not believe what parents in China are having to do to get their kids to school, all because of Beijing’s Zero COVID policy.

The Main Brief today and all week is chosen by you — things we’ve discussed before but updated with new information, new data, and fresh analysis. First, we are back at the ringside fight between Russia and Ukraine. Last week we used a boxing analogy to try to understand the punches being thrown, with one by America and Europe aimed at Russia’s economy. We’re of course talking about the economic sanctions. So how did that punch land? Is Russia on the economic ropes? We’ll discuss the data, plus a reminder of why this story is so important to you and your family. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, some California solar panels that just might be a win-win for everybody.

So we’ll talk about what’s going on globally, why you should care. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. Ukraine is punching back against the Russians this morning. We’ve got two related radar briefs. First, Russia is releasing their natural gas into the atmosphere rather than sell it to Europe. I’ve got those details. Second, the European people are preparing for a very cold winter without Russian natural gas. I’ll share their plans to keep warm. And, as always, a question from a listener.

Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world. First, there’s a very bad drought and heat wave in China it’s getting worse.

August 25th, 2022. Special Brief: The Fight in Ukraine.
It’s August 25th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Welcome to this Special Edition of the PDB. This week marks the six month anniversary of war in Ukraine. We have seen so many twists and turns, so many developments, that it’s been overwhelming at times. And maybe that’s why polls show Americans are kind of losing interest. A mid-July Fox News poll showed 69% of us were concerned about Russia’s invasion, but that’s down from 82% in March. In terms of overall concern, the issue of Ukraine ranked sixth of eight issues tested. But it’s still a major story, with one clear reason: it’s costing you billions of dollars — at least $13.5B so far. To give you a sense of how shocking that is, when we were fighting in Afghanistan in 2019, we committed around $5B. Again, $13.5B for one year in Ukraine, $5B in Afghanistan. Plus, there’s a very real concern that this war could escalate and cause us to fight a much bigger war with a nuclear-armed Russian. That would mean your friends and neighbors would be involved in the most horrifying battle that the globe has ever seen. So, we are going to remind ourselves of this complicated story this morning. We’re going to do a recap of the past six months. But don’t worry, I’m going to use an analogy to help us through it. This is going to be a little unconventional, so hang with me. I want you to think of this brief like you’re watching a boxing match. So get out those maps, fire up some theme music from Rocky, settle in for six months of punches and counterpunches. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s August 24th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Joe Biden will likely announce today that he is canceling some of America’s student loan debt. But should he? And do people really need that debt relief? We’ll talk numbers, and why there might be a better way to help struggling students. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the CDC admitted last week that they failed in their COVID pandemic response. We have data out this morning that show just how bad they failed, in this case, they failed America’s kids. Second, the United States has $7B of cash sitting a New York Bank that belongs to the Government of Afghanistan. Should we give it back to them? Joe Biden’s thinking about it. I’ll explain. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. A question from Kurt from somewhere in Mississippi.

Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Joe Biden is launching a national tour this week to promote his renewable energy revolution, to include electric vehicles. But here’s a question: when people plug those cars in, how green is their electric fuel? That’s an important part of this debate, and that is coming up shortly. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. The Chinese Government is after America’s cows. Well, we think so. They’ve hacked some agricultural software, and it’s left experts stumped. I’ll explain that bizarre story. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. I got a sharp-elbowed comment from Cam from somewhere in America. He doesn’t like how I pronounce words — one in particular. So I’m going to share with you the word, why it’s a big deal to me, and why it should be to you too. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s August 22nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, there are lots of stories and rumors about Ukraine’s main nuclear power plant this morning. It’s not Chernobyl but a placed called Zaporizhzhia. I’m going to explain exactly what’s going on, the threats, and whether or not you should be worried. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, Joe Biden is kicking off a national tour this week, highlighting his new climate change bill. But a new rail line for coal shipments in China suggests that this celebration might be misplaced. Second, Mother Nature is wrecking havoc on all sorts of crops this year. Unfortunately, we can add a personal favorite of mine to the list: coffee. That’s coming up. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. Question from Angela in Franklin, North Carolina about that very unusual bank robbery in the country of Lebanon that I shared with you last week. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, The CDC is admitting this morning that it failed during the COVID pandemic, its Director is promising to prevent such from ever happening again. But critics argue it’s too late, they’re already failing on the issue of Monkeypox. I’ll explain their argument. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. Two stories this morning focused on the mega drought in the Western United States. First, how its affecting America’s cotton farmers.

Second, electricity prices hit a record high in Europe yesterday, and some businesses there are starting to shut down. I’ll explain the latest. Third, the Biden Administration has increased its aid to Ukraine, this time to help them pay down their national deficit. I’ve got those details. Fourth, America’s tariffs on Chinese products are likely to stay put, all because of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. I’ll explain the connection. Finally, a man robbed a bank in Lebanon last week to get his own money. We’ll talk about how this curious crime illustrates how desperate things are in that Middle Eastern country. And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question from Brandon and Rafeal on how to persuade in-laws when talking politics.

Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Important developments out of Taiwan this morning, with a new surprise delegation of American politicians showing up. As you’d expect, Beijing is not happy. So this morning we’re going to talk about what happens if this brewing conflict turns to war. How would a war over Taiwan affect you? That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, a presidential election in Kenya just ended and it’s not going well. Election commissioners throwing chairs at each other, violence in the streets. I’ll explain what’s going on, and why you should care. Second, illegal migration numbers are in from our southern border. It’s a record, and not a good one. I’ll explain. And finally, one more thing before I let you go. A comment this morning from Drew from somewhere in America. He thinks that the PDB is too political lately, talking domestic issues instead of just global events. So I’ll respond to Drew’s concerns and see if you agree. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

August 15th, 2022. Update: Was it Legal for the FBI to Raid President Trump?
It’s August 15th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, The FBI raid of the home of former President Donald Trump last week has been all over the news. But missing in the coverage is a very important Supreme Court case that suggests there is something very rotten about this raid, even unconstitutional. That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, some very good news in the Wheat Wars. A big shipment of wheat set sail this morning from Ukraine to an African country that’s on the verge of starvation. I’ve got the latest. Second, the State of Arizona is finishing part of the wall on our southern border a wall that the Biden Administration refused to complete. It’s a pretty bold move, and I’ll explain why. And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question this morning from Rebecca in Danville, Virginia. She wrote asking if I’m a Republican or Democrat, and whether that affects how I put together the PDB every day.

It’s August 12th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, the Center for Disease Control announced new COVID recommendations yesterday, rolling back lots of restrictions. You may have seen that story but what you probably didn’t see is that half of America plans to ignore that advice; they refuse to move on. We’re going to discuss who those people are, and why their refusal matters. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the biggest fire in Cuba’s history is out, but the crisis is just beginning. And that could mean a rush of migrants to our southern border. I’ll update you on that development. Second, Ukraine’s top law-enforcement official says that, once the war with Russia is over, everybody should buy more guns. That’s a big policy change for that country. We’ll discuss it. And finally, one more thing before I let you go. Two questions from listeners, one about solar panels and the other about wanting some good news.

It’s August 11th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Welcome to this Special Edition of the President’s Daily Brief. And it’s very special indeed, because America is about to undergo an energy revolution. There is a $380B climate change bill that is set to pass the House of Representatives tomorrow following its previous passage in the Senate. After tomorrow’s vote, it heads to the desk of Joe Biden who will sign it. That means, soon enough, states in this country will be changing the way we power our lives — our cars, our homes, our businesses — everything. So how will this energy revolution work? And will it work? Well, we have a test case this morning that we’re going to talk about: the state of Hawaii. They’ve been at it for seven years now. And if Hawaii is any indication, we are gonna see a real green energy mess. That cautionary tale is the focus of today’s Special Edition of the PDB — it’s a deep dive into what went wrong, why, and lessons that you can learn for your state. And, as always, I’ve got one more thing before I let you go. A comment from a listener named Ryan // he emailed and suggested I’m a lazy conservative and wrong to say that the NY Times and Washington Post are Democrat newspapers. So I’ll give you the data and history on these two newspapers, and then you can decide who’s right. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ve got an update on where the all-important natural gas prices fit in that picture. Second, the Canadian and US Governments don’t want you to hear about something in Ukraine. I’ll share it with you anyway. Third, the Wheat Wars are settling down, ships are getting to market. Except for one. I’ll explain that. Fourth, the White House is angry at China this morning and it has to do with fentanyl. Finally, parents are holding off getting their littlest kids vaccinated from COVID. I’ll explain that data. Plus, an email from Eric in Louisiana. He had a few cuss words he wanted to share about the FBI.

August 9th, 2022. Breaking: Former President Donald Trump is Raided by the FBI.
It’s August 9th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Today is a Special Edition of the PDB. And that’s because of what happened yesterday in Florida. The home of former president Donald Trump was raided by the FBI. So today we’re going to talk about that — what we know, what we don’t — but most especially I’m going to discuss the central question that you, me and other Americans are now going to have to wrestle with. Do you trust the FBI? Because if the answer is yes, then this development yesterday in Florida doesn’t bother you much. It’s standard procedure for an FBI that is professional, and just doing their jobs as the rules and law allow. But is that true? Is there anything in the recent past that might give a reasonable person pause about the FBI? Because if so, that might suggest that this raid, this investigation in Florida is anything but proper or legal. So that’s what we’re going to wrestle with this morning as this major story develops. And as always, I’ll offer up one more thing before I let you go, a note from Lindsey in Oregon. And it’s a good question about hope. Which perhaps is something we could all use. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

We’re going to look at the numbers and you can decide whether or not their outrage is warranted. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, China conducted war games over the weekend, all because of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. I’m going to explain the latest, and how it could dramatically impact your life. Second, there was a lighting strike in Cuba late last week that actually could lead to more illegal migrants at our southern border in the future. I’ll explain that curious connection. And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A quick update on my request for direct-to-consumer beef providers, and also I share the replies that some of you’ve gotten from your Senators and Representatives. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s August 5th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, there are Afghan terrorists in America but the FBI has lost track of them. That’s the alarming admission made yesterday by the FBI Director. We’ll discuss the latest. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First up, the Chinese Government and its partners have bought over 200,000 acres of American land — including 300 acres near a key Air Force Base. I’ll share the latest on attempts to roll back those purchases. Second, an update on the War for the South Pacific. As PDB listeners might recall, there’s a big fight between America and China over influence in the South Pacific — with Hawaii in the crosshairs. I’ve got an update on our government’s efforts to claw back power in the region. And finally, one more thing before I let you go. Questions and comments from listeners, this one from Jeremy in Topeka, Kansas. He’s skeptical that Africa should be of interest to Americans.

It’s August 4th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s the Big Five Update this morning on the PDB. Five briefs on five topics that I’ve discussed with you before with some important updates. First, the Wheat Wars. On Monday the first ship out of Ukraine set sail for the Middle East. But how far did it get? I’ve got that for you. Second, the War of Attrition. The fight between Russia and Ukraine battles on, with American taxpayers propping up Kiev. But what about Russia? How’s their economy these days? I’ve got the latest. Third, last week Joe Biden held a phone call with China’s President Xi. So what’d they talk about? We don’t know for sure. And that is a problem. I’ll explain. Fourth, fans of climate change want to slaughter all of America’s cows. We talked about that this week. But some people think we can save them by changing their feed to bugs. I’ve got that tasty story. And finally on this Big Five Update, gas and diesel prices are going down. And that’s good. Well, not exactly. I’ll explain the reason why none of us should cheer for the reasons behind the drop. And of course, I’ve got one more thing before I let you go, an email today from Tiffany from somewhere in America. She wants to know about that controversial CIA recruitment ad that some of you may have seen.

It’s August 3rd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Washington DC is targeting the nation’s cattle this morning, all because of climate change. But this is really about so much more. I’ll discuss what that is and what you can do about it. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, public confirmation this morning that American intelligence is directing missile attacks against the Russians in Ukraine. I’ve got the details on this very dangerous development. Second, the tensions between China and Taiwan took an unexpected twist in recent days, and not because of Nancy Pelosi’s visit. It has to do with companies leaving over the prospect of war. I’ll explain. And finally, one more thing before I let you go, the segment on emails from listeners. I got one from Rachel in Clarksville, Tennessee. She asked if I ever got nervous working for CIA and if I was taught how to handle that anxiety. She wants some tips on how to think like a spy!

I’ll give you the latest on this very good news, to include what this death means in our War on Terror. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, you may have seen the headlines about the horrible fires in Europe over the past couple weeks. Media outlets blamed climate change. But there was an arrest last week in France that suggests otherwise. We’ll discuss that sobering news. Second, American car companies are building more electric cars, which means they need more batteries. That’s leading many of them to sign deals with the Chinese. I’ll share the latest. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. An email from Charlie in Twin Falls, Idaho. He worries that America is cracking apart, and that maybe we are headed for a civil war.

First, today is a big day for the Wheat Wars. Ukraine’s first ship of agricultural goods set sail into open waters. I’ll explain what to look for, and why it matters. Second, America’s top diplomat is off to Africa next week, to Rwanda and the Congo. Savvy listeners might remember why those nations are so important. It has to do with batteries. We’ll discuss. And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question from Rick from New Mexico. He asked if my working for the CIA changed my daily habits — like how I drive — or how it changed my view of the world. Those are great questions. And I’ve got answers.

It’s July 29th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First up, The US Senate announced a big bill yesterday to address climate change. One of the reasons to pass it, supporters are saying, is that it gives America the moral authority to demand other nations to follow our lead. We’ll discuss whether that is convincing. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is flying to Asia today. Will she stop in Taiwan? Joe Biden’s telling her not to. I’ll explain why. Second, we have some new numbers out on who’s trying to cross our southern border. It’s a wave of Cubans. We’ll talk about why.

So this morning we’re going to dive into their climate conversation — and that China’s actually building more coal plants because they don’t have faith in renewables. We’ll discuss. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the Natural Gas Wars took another nasty turn yesterday. Russia’s cutting their supply to Europe by half, starting tomorrow. I’m going to explain the game that Moscow is playing. Second, by now you’ve seen the headlines: Monkeypox is a global health emergency. I’m going to remind us that the big development here is not in the United States, but in the Congo, where something very strange is happening.

July 21st, 2022. Special Brief: Mexican President AMLO Laughs at Biden and Trudeau.
It’s July 21st. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Today is a Special Brief about a growing threat just under the radar, and just under our Southern Border. Not the cartels this time. Not even drugs or gang violence. This morning we’re going to talk about Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. His nickname is AMLO for short. Yesterday he said something remarkable when he was asked about a trade dispute that filed by Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau, who’s the Prime Minister of Canada. President AMLO said “Ohhh I’m soooo scared,” when he was asked of Biden’s trade dispute filing, and then he followed that up by saying, “Nothing will happen.” Now I’ve never heard any Mexican President be so audaciously dismissive towards America or American leadership. And so this morning we’re going to unpack exactly what’s going on — who this character AMLO is — and what to do about it. Because his statements yesterday are a flashing red light that things aren’t well in Mexico City, the capital of a country that we share a 2,000 mile long border with, and happens to be a major trade partner. The consequences could be very dire for you and every other American if we don’t quickly see what’s happening.

July 20th, 2022. Joe Biden Makes Another Push Towards Green Energy, but Are the Solutions Viable? Congress Votes on the Respect for Marriage Act
It’s July 20th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com First up, Joe Biden is in Massachusetts this morning, talking up green energy, and most especially off-shore wind projects. Odds are, though, he’s not going to tell America the full story about wind energy, and that it’s not that green. We’ve got a deep dive on the facts, coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. Congress just took a really important vote. Now some might say it’s about interracial and gay marriage, but that’s not why it’s important. Instead, it’s really about fixing our government. I’ve got that analysis — plus a reminder for Friday’s show. All up next on the President's Daily Brief. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

July 19th, 2022. Ukraine Admits That Its Government Is Filled With Russian Spies. China Continues to Escalate Against U.S. Ships in South China Sea.
It’s July 19th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First up, The White House is confirming this morning that it will continue to share intelligence with Ukraine just one day after Pres. Zelynskyy admitted his government is full of Russian spies. That has major implications for our intel networks — and our $50B in aid. That’s up first. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, America’s top general is admitting that he hasn’t been tracking a key threat by China that could tell us how close we are to war. I’ve got those details. Finally, an update on the Wheat Wars. The White House handing out over $1B in food aid, this time to the horn of Africa. We’ll discuss the latest, plus a possible wheat deal Putin.

July 18th, 2022. Governor Abbott's "Operation Lone Star" is Lowering Illegal Immigration Rates. US Intel Warns Against Using Chinese Drones?
It’s July 18th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First up, some good news on America’s southern border. Fewer illegal migrants tried to cross into the country last month. And the reason? A Texas politician is playing hardball with the Mexican Government and their businesses. I’ll explain. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, Ukraine’s got a spy problem. Hundreds of espionage cases. And all of that could put Joe Biden’s $50B worth of weapons and aid at serious risk. That’s coming up. Finally, the US Secret Service — which guards the president — is buying Chinese drones that the Pentagon says are a threat to national security. What’s worse: other agencies are doing exactly the same. All that, plus a request for you. I want to do a special show on Friday, but I need you to help me do it.

July 15th, 2022. Just How Environmentally Friendly Is Solar Energy? France in War-Time Effort to Combat Energy Needs.July 15th, 2022. Just How Environmentally Friendly Is Solar Energy? France in War-Time Effort to Combat Energy Needs.
It’s July 15th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First up, Joe Biden is in Saudi Arabia, asking the Royal Family to please produce more oil, amongst other things. Biden’s supporters are saying this only underlines how important it is for us to go green, especially solar. But how green is solar energy? I’ve got the dirty answer to that question up next. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the Natural Gas Wars in Europe are hitting France hard, and their industries are launching a war-time effort to get ready for a very cold winter. I’ll explain the latest, and why you should care. Finally, Joe Biden made a big promise to Mexico’s president a couple days ago, giving Mexicans and Central Americans more work visas. I’ve got those details. All up next on the President's Daily Brief. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Learn more about your ad choices.
