We’ll talk about that, plus how Ford has a new source of cobalt for those batteries when they work. Second, and speaking of electric vehicles, cyber experts are sounding the alarm this morning about electric cars getting hacked and then crashed, and held for ransom all by cyber criminals. Third, the new Democrat Governor of Arizona is confirming that she will continue bussing illegal migrants all around the country. Her fellow Democrats aren’t happy about that. Fourth, a recent study about coffee actually tells us something interesting about the mind’s ability to heal the body. Later, we close out the podcast with a listener saying that Bryan is Wrong. Yes, I am wrong about the possibility that Joe Biden is compromised by China. So I’ll respond to that, asking you to think like a spy. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ve got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, get ready for lots of talk about inflation today. 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.

It’s February 13th. 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 four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, we’ve got more flying objects being shot down. Two more, in fact, over the weekend. We’ll discuss that, and why Joe Biden says Chinese spy balloons crossing America are not a major breach of US security. Second, I’ve got a question: How long do you think that the War in Ukraine will last? Well, someone very important in Moscow answered that question. I’ll tell you what they said. Third, an update to the German spy saga we talked about in December. And this update reads like a script for a movie. Finally, we dive into a story of robots: a record number of them were purchased by North American companies last year. We’ll talk about what that means for workers like you and me. Later, we close out the podcast with a listener question about how to get into the CIA. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s February 10th. 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 four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, Joe Biden says it’s not his fault that he had classified material at his home and office. No no. I’ll tell you though who is. Second, an update to the China Balloon Saga this morning, with an assessment by a Democrat Senator from Montana that is spot on. Third, some updates on the War in Ukraine, with mostly bad news for Kiev. Finally, American taxpayers will be funding a new wind farm. But this one it’s not in America. It’s in Mexico. Later, we close out the podcast with an observation I had on a recent report about Afghanistan and it says that the Taliban won’t be bought off by Western money. Apparently that came as a shock to some folks in DC. Which only proves that The Smart People aren’t very smart at all. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s February 9th. 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 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.

Second, we’ve spoken a lot about a potential war between the US and China over the island of Taiwan. But if war ever came, would the Taiwanese people actually stand up and fight? I’ve got an answer. Third, an update to the Drone Wars in Ukraine. The country of Iran has agreed to help build a drone factory in Russia to keep Moscow fully supplied for years to come. Fourth, a brief on Dirty Green Energy / but it is unlike anything we’ve talked about before. It involves the deep ocean, and it takes us all the way back to the 1960s with CIA spies and a connection to sunken Soviet submarine.

It’s February 6th. 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. We are going to discuss the Chinese spy balloon saga that has unfolded over the past 10 days or so. And to be clear, it’s not just one balloon over the United States. We have reports this morning out of the South American country of Colombia that they too had one of these Chinese spy balloons pass over the top of their nation. So this morning we’re going to talk about all that, but not in a way you’ve probably heard so far on TV or the radio. I’m going to present this news to you in the way that it happened so that we can all agree on the facts in a chronological way, and then debate what those facts mean. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ll tell you why it’s important, and why an increasing number of Americans don’t support it. Second, a critical deadline arrives on Sunday. It has to do with diesel and jet fuel coming out of Russia, and it could impact your pocketbook. Third, get those maps ready, we’re talking about Cold War II this morning, with updates in Kenya and Australia. Finally, keep those maps out, because we’re doing a swing through El Salvador, Peru, and Mexico talking about prisons, blueberries, and a scheme to block the sun.

I’ve got three big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, Joe Biden’s beach house was searched yesterday by the FBI. But there’s another place they should be taking a look at. I’ll tell you all about it. Second, the Biden Administration launched a second front / in a new war. This one’s against gas stoves. I’ll explain the latest. Third, a special brief for you today. It’s one that the CIA sometimes gives to the President called an Executive Brief. It’s a deep dive into a person or concern of great interest. Today, it’s about a new Middle Eastern leader named Saddam. But not in Baghdad. This one’s in Libya. Later, we close out the podcast with an observation I had on the immigration crisis in New York City. It’s an opinion, but not mine. It’s from a / legal immigrant. And his words moved me. I think they’ll move you too. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

I’ve got two big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, there is a fight tomorrow at the White House, with Republicans squaring off against Joe Biden over the debt ceiling.

Plus, we’ll remind ourselves of why we should care about this global competition.
