Plus, a poll showing US voters are growing weary of that conflict.

I’ve got three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, America’s immigration policies might come down to one word being debated at the Supreme Court. Second, some folks are talking about good news regarding gas prices and rent in America. Both going down. But a closer look says there’s not much reason to cheer. Finally, the Biden Administration yesterday said it wants America and its economy to grow closer to China. Yes, I said closer. We’ll discuss that. Later, we close out the podcast with some listener feedback.

I’ve got one special brief for you this morning that is shaping America — and the world. There’s a growing fight between two tech giants this morning — Twitter and Apple. And it’s largely focused on free speech. Although the White House weighed yesterday, and what they said suggests that this might actually just be about politics. We’ll discuss all of that, plus why you should really care about this issue. Later, we close out the podcast with some listener feedback. Do you remember when Jason from Central Ohio wrote in? He homeschools his kids and I gave ‘em some homework. Well, I’ve got their responses. And it’s pretty cool. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Protests all around that communist country, and all because of a fire. I’ll explain. Second, Dr. Tony Fauci and the Biden Administration have some COVID advice for China. No more lockdowns, they say, but lots more shots. We’ll talk about why that is quite something to hear those folks say. Third, there’s fighting in Ukraine this morning, but not with the Russians.

Finally, two pieces of medical news — one involving Monkey Pox and the other about why COVID-19 seems to have hit black and Hispanic folks harder than others. Later, I close out the podcast with a listener question about whether the solar and wind industry is really about climate change or rather destroying capitalism — and the West. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

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: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

I’ll share what he said, to include some misinformation about COVID vaccines. Second, some sobering news out of Los Angeles. That city is now one of the leading distribution centers for Chinese and Mexican fentanyl. Third, some good news out of California. A new-clear power plant just got a second life with a billion-dollar investment. Fourth, the wildfire season is officially over in the Western United States. I’ll explain why it was such a good year for landowners and loggers alike. Finally, more kids are graduating high school from West Virginia and Alabama, which both had struggled for years. I’ll share why it’s gotten better. And we later close out the podcast with some listeners who are upset with me / for sometimes calling solar and wind power Dirty Green Energy. I have a response. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: [email protected] 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.

I’ve got five briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, an update on the War in Ukraine. Russia has two friends helping it out this morning. The first is the country of Iran – no surprise there. The second is the United States. That is a surprise. We’ll talk about that. Second, North Korea fired off a powerful missile late last week, one that can hit every state in our union. I’ll give you the details. Third, an update on the potential strike of America’s rail-road workers. I’ll refresh our memories on that story and tell you what to expect today. Fourth, some of Europe’s businesses are relocating to the United States, all because of our cheap, reliable energy. But recent events in Oregon and California suggest that that might not last much longer. Finally, let’s end on a good note today, and let’s talk about a favorite subject of mine: coffee, especially from Brazil. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of 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.

But I’ve got two studies just out that says, maybe they shouldn’t have.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world. First, if you’re thinking of buying an electric pickup truck, I’ve got some numbers you’ll want to hear about. All connected to a very big price tag. Second, another group of rail road workers has rejected a labor-deal that was negotiated by the Biden Administration. I’ll explain why you should care. Third, US oil companies and refineries are exporting a record amount of oil, gas, and diesel abroad, that’s as America’s east coast has shortages. I’ll explain what’s going on. Fourth, state and local governments continue to buy Chinese telecom equipment despite warnings not to. We’ll discuss how you can help stop that. Finally, how about some good news?

It’s October 26th. 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. 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? Why aren’t car manufacturers acknowledging it? ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

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? Why aren’t car manufacturers acknowledging it? ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Second, Beijing wrapped up its big gathering over the weekend with three big messages for the world. I’ll share what those are. Finally, record illegal migration numbers are out for last month, and the year as a whole. But there’s one angle to this story from San Francisco of all places that’s pretty important. The Mayor in that town is in trouble this morning for telling the truth about illegals. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Second, and also in Nevada, a new solar farm is about to go live just outside Las Vegas, with a major partner from China helping them do it. And as always, we’ve got a listener question.

And, then, to wrap up later this morning, I’ve got a request. It’s for prayer. Not for me, but for a listener. A good man who’s battling pancreatic cancer.

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.

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

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.
