The President's Daily Brief

It’s November 18th. 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 few briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, Republicans have officially captured the House of Representatives. They’re promising to investigate Joe Biden and his family because of their foreign business deals. But is that fair? We’re going to look at the issue imagining that we’re investigators at the CIA. Second, Thanksgiving prices are way up this year. But in the future, they could be lower because the FDA just approved a new form of meat. And that is: chicken but grown in a laboratory. Yum. Plus, three questions today from listeners. To include one about an ad-free version of the PDB, coming soon. ------ 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, an alarming development from the War in Ukraine – there was an explosion in the neighboring country of Poland. And they are blaming it on Russia. I’ll explain what’s going on, and why we’ve got to be very careful with what we’ll likely hear over the coming days. Second, China’s economy is in trouble. And that’s a good thing for America. I’ll dig into that story. Third, some bad news and good news related to America’s southern border. And the good news is fantastic news / if you or a loved one deals with addiction. Finally, an update on America’s Dirty Green Revolution. Forty coal-fired power plants are going to stick around for a while longer / because some solar panels aren’t ready for prime time. And, we wrap up the podcast later with a listener question from a dad in Ohio who homeschools his kids. I’m so dang excited about this one. ------ 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 three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, Joe Biden met with China’s president yesterday, promising to reduce tensions and work towards peace. But odds are, we’re headed towards conflict. I’ll explain why. Second, a warning from the National Fire Protection Association about a consumer product. And it has to do with Dirty Green Energy. Third, some great news in the fight against cancer. A very simple form of exercise has been found to bring about a very big benefit. I’ll explain what it is, and the science behind it. Plus, a personal request this morning.

It’s November 14th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Good Day, America. I’ve got five briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, Joe Biden is traveling the globe. He stopped last Friday in Egypt talking climate change. 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. And there’s something very alarming that Pres. Xi said to his troops last week that Biden should be thinking about. Third, an update on the War in Ukraine, with the US Military talking peace while US diplomats are talking war. I’ll explain that disconnect. Fourth, a judge put a stop to Joe Biden’s debt forgiveness to America’s students. I’ll explain why and what happens next.

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.

It’s November 9th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Well, the results are trickling in for America’s midterm elections. 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. Plus, a listener question today this one about freedom of speech. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s November 8th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s election day and polls show that Republicans are likely to win the US House and Senate. And that means we’re likely to hear some pretty outrageous claims from the politicians who lose. 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. And then, to close out the podcast, we’ll wrap up with three awesome questions from listeners. With one about why I don’t reach for vitamins when I’m sick — and it has to do with China. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world. First, North Korea is launching missiles and, apparently, sending weaponry to Moscow. Second, an update on the War in Ukraine. You might be hearing more talk of peace, but don’t believe it. I’ll explain why. Third, countries around the world are angry at the White House this morning because these foreign governments want some of Joe Biden’s Dirty Green Energy Cash. And he’s not sharing. Fourth, speaking of Mr. Biden, he kicked up quite a storm on Friday over coal plants. Shut them all down, he said. I’ll explain. Finally, some good news to start the week. A potential breakthrough for the 40M people in the world living with HIV. Plus, to end the podcast later this morning, a personal message on America’s election tomorrow.

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. We’re going to do a deep dive into how this drug starts in China, transits into Mexico, and ends up in your hometown. And we’re doing this today so that you can decide, as you vote next week, which politician or party is most likely to do something about this terrible killer. After our main brief this morning, we’ll wrap up the podcast with a question from Pat out of Seattle, Washington, who’s hearing rumors that Ukraine’s Wheat isn’t getting to poor countries around the world like we were told it would. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

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.

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. 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. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. Question from a listener who says she doesn’t know much about international affairs but wonders if we can do more to hit Russia’s pocketbook. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

We’ll talk about why these developments are such big deal — even if you don’t use Twitter. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, an outbreak of COVID at an Apple factory in China has workers cutting through fences to escape being locked down. Second, and speaking of COVID, there’s a new Senate report out on how COVID started in China. They have evidence it probably came from that Lab in Wuhan. And as always, we’ve got a listener question.

And it’s special because we’re going to talk about something nobody is talking about: Last month the US Government acknowledged that the batteries powering the Renewable Energy Revolution in this country — the electric vehicles, the solar and wind farms, all of it — those batteries are produced by child miners in the Congo. Now, we’ve talked about this on the PDB in the past as a part of our series that I called Dirty Green Energy. But this is official confirmation from the US Government itself. And it’s a big deal. But then why is this report not in the press? Why aren’t politicians talking about it?

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. America is running dangerously low on weapons — for both training purposes and war-time usage — largely because we’re sending so much of it to Ukraine. Plus, we’ve got listener feedback this morning.

You’ve been told for years that it’s a problem, a crisis really, with misinformation and disinformation being spread by the Russians or Chinese. Well, turns out that these foreign powers have a new competitor — 51 fake news sites telling you to vote for Democrats. I’ll explain that story. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, an update on the possible rail-road strike.

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

We’ve had a full week of developments, and I’m going to cover them — plus, what it all means. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.

It’s October 5th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ We’ve got a Special Edition of the PDB this morning. It’s a totally new episode on the Dirty Green Revolution. And today it’s all about Electric Vehicles. 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.

Put this one on your radar. The Biden Administration just adopted looser rules for wind farms. They’re actually allowing operators to kill eagles with the wind blades. But don’t ask how birds they’re allowed to kill. Because that is secret law enforcement information apparently. Details coming up. And as always, a listener question, with today’s focused on how the common man and woman in Europe are handling the energy crisis.
