It’s February 24th. 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 on the War in Ukraine. And that’s because today is the one year mark of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Over these many months, I have briefed you on major developments of the fight and why they’re so important to you and your family.  Today we’re going to talk about the big issues that we have covered, with quick updates on each. We’ll tackle the Wheat Wars, the Natural Gas Wars, the Drone Wars, plus the Boxing Analogy / that we used last August, thinking about the Russians and Ukrainians as the prize fighters, with each side having coaches, with the US and Europe in one corner and China and others in Russia’s corner. And then we’ll wrap up with the biggest concern of all — New-clear War, with the latest that I’m hearing from folks who know this issue, and what they are looking for as signs that things are going to get bad. Later, we close out the podcast with a personal announcement. It’s about a big change coming to the PDB. And the bottom line is: you are getting a new host of this podcast; and I am starting a new podcast, called The Wright Report — just like my last name. I’ll explain the change later. ----- 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.

I’ve got three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world.

Third, get out your maps and your safari hats because we’re off to Africa this morning. The countries of Tanzania and Uganda are launching a major new oil project that could impact the price you pay for gas — and the price for batteries in those electric vehicles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Later, we close out the podcast with a quick brief about tonight’s State of the Union address in Washington DC on the topic of debt and deficits. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

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.

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’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.
