The President's Daily Brief

Shownotes Transcript

It’s August 31st. 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.

First, we are back at the ringside fight between Russia and Ukraine. Last week we used a boxing analogy to try to understand the punches being thrown, with one by America and Europe aimed at Russia’s economy. We’re of course talking about the economic sanctions. So how did that punch land? Is Russia on the economic ropes? We’ll discuss the data, plus a reminder of why this story is so important to you and your family.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.

First, some California solar panels that just might be a win-win for everybody.

Second, North Korea’s leader has COVID. That could mean bad news for our men and women in uniform.

Finally, we wrap up the podcast with a question from a listener. This one about how much compassion we should have for illegal migrants.
