It’s February 3rd. 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’re hearing reports of a new shipment of weapons to Ukraine. 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. Later, we close out the podcast talking about Canada and Groundhog Day. It’s quite a story. ----- 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: PDB@TheFirstTV.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s August 30th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s a Special PDB this morning. 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. SO, FIRST UP THIS MORNING,  Governments around the world want to stop climate change by slaughtering cows or taxing them out of existence. That was a story from New Zealand that I brought you in early June. Since then, we’re seeing the same thing in The Netherlands and Ireland as well. 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. It has to do with the CIA and who’s a better driver: men or women. Oh boy. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

It’s February 21st. 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 three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, get those passports ready because we are going around the globe this morning, all because of the War of Attrition in Europe. We’re stopping first in Asia, then Middle East, plus an update in the Mediterranean Sea. And in each stop, we’re asking ourselves if Joe Biden is right about something. In a surprise visit to Ukraine yesterday, he said that Vladimir Putin can’t outlast us in the war. In other words, that Russia doesn’t have enough money, materiel, or allies to win. Is he right? Well, I’ll give you the updates and let you decide. Second, we visit Iran this morning, where inspectors have discovered some new-clear material that is almost good enough / to help Tehran create a new-clear bomb. Finally, head to Fiji where the leaders there are locked in a nasty fight, the results of which could impact our Battle for the Pacific. Later, we close out the podcast with a listener question about divorce. Specifically whether America should split up — with Red States and Blue States parting ways. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Plus, an update out of Syria, where rebel leaders just launched a major security crackdown after loyalists of the deposed Assad regime killed 14 interior ministry troops in an ambush on Tuesday. In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, despite suffering massive personnel losses on the battlefields of Ukraine, North Korean despot Kim Jong Un is reportedly preparing to double down on his military support of Russia’s Putin regime.

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.
