The President's Daily Brief

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. 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.

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.

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’ve got the very hopeful details coming up. Second, you all saw the inflation numbers yesterday; another record high. But there’s one piece of the story that wasn’t covered: railroads. We’ll discuss. Third, Europe is getting ready to slap more sanctions on Russia. But there’s one thing they will not touch, and I bet you can guess what it is. I’ve got the answer later. Fourth, we’ve talked about the connection between obesity and COVID complications. Well there’s a study out this morning that explains why we men put on weight to begin with. And it has to do with sunlight. Finally, Tony Fauci — America’s most well known public health official — is acknowledging that COVID vaccines do not stop transmission of COVID.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the War of Attrition between Russia and Ukraine just got extended. That’s because the nation of Brazil inked a deal with Moscow to buy diesel. And that means Putin can better finance his on-going war in Europe. I’ll explain how that impacts you. Second, a very peculiar video out of Mexico this morning. One of the most deadly cartels is telling other, rival cartels that they should keep violence between them and not kill civilians. I’ll explain that bizarre message. All up next on the President's Daily Brief. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

During this morning’s special PDB, we’re going to quickly cover decades worth Washington DC’s attempts to deal with China — either by negotiations or strongly worded speeches. I’m going to make the case to you for why that approach has failed. And, if I were advising the president this morning, what we really need to do to stop them.

It’s June 8th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. I’m your host and former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright. Your morning intel starts now. On Monday, Joe Biden waived tariffs on foreign solar panels. Now that didn’t get a lot of press probably because, well, it’s about solar panels. Not exactly the stuff of great consequence. But actually it is. It’s a really big deal. And I’m going to explain why. Why this decision about foreign solar panels is really about the future of America. And it’s a future that doesn’t look bright because of a massive political failure in this country. You see, those foreign solar panels used to be made here. Or could have been. That is, until their patented designs were stolen through espionage — taken by Chinese spies back to Beijing many years ago, and given to their solar companies to make panels there. So join me this morning on a special brief, one not just about solar panels. But the very future of America.
