Show notes

It’s February 1st. 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, the city of Grand Forks, North Dakota has decided to cancel that Chinese mill that was going to be built in their city, just 16 miles from a key air force base. I’ll tell you why. Second, an update on attempts to save the Colorado River out west. States who use that water tried to come up with a negotiated deal to share the river’s resources but they failed. I’ll explain what comes next. Third, some bad news for countries looking to build factories to make their own solar panels. China just banned the export of some key equipment. Finally, an update on Cold War II. America got a couple countries to stop selling China some computer chip technology that could be used to advance Beijing’s military ambitions. Later, we close out the podcast with a listener question about Joe Biden sending in tanks and possibly fighter jets to Ukraine. My response involves some old advice from a guy named Dirty Harry. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com

Show notes

It’s January 31st. 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 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. I’ll give you a brief to help you sort through the arguments you’re going to hear — and decide who’s right. Second, get those maps and passports ready because we’re launching a new segment today called Cold War TWO. And that series is going to be focused on the global fight between China and the United States, much as there was a fight between America and the Soviet Union in decades gone by. So for today’s first episode, we’re going to travel around the world to check in on who has more friends, us or Beijing. Plus, we’ll remind ourselves of why we should care about this global competition. Later, we close out the podcast with a study on human nature — something pretty important in global affairs, actually. We look specifically at when kids can first tell that adults are telling them a fib or giving them a lame excuse. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Show notes

It’s January 27th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Today is our Special Brief about how Bryan is Wrong. It was an opportunity for you all to write in, tell me about how I was wrong about something, and offer up your view of what’s right. The first three topics this morning are on domestic affairs. First, we talk immigration — a fellow named Rowdy from Texas says I shouldn’t say the word migrant when discussing this issue and instead say immigrant. I’ll talk about the difference. Next, the Biden Intel Scandal. Rachel in South Carolina said it’s clear I have a bias for Donald Trump, because I’m giving him a pass about his intel scandal. So I’ll respond by telling you all a story I haven’t told anyone — Trump actually invited me to the White House in the summer of 2020. I’ll explain why, and how that actually connects to the Trump intel scandal. Third, Chris in Bloomington Illinois pointed out the fact that I don’t say President when describing Joe Biden. I only call him Mr. Biden. Why is that, Chris and others have wondered? I’ll explain. Then we shift gears to International Affairs. A listener named Sebastian says all I do is talk about Ukraine. Enough already. Well, Sebastian, I’ll share why it’s so important. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com

Third, the country of Norway just announced a major commitment to oil and gas exploration. Environmentalists are outraged.

The results tell us a lot about / not just South Africa, but why the US is still a pretty exceptional place. Later, we close out the podcast with a personal observation about the US Treasury Secretary’s visit to Africa. She’s making a lot of promises for aid. But I’ve got a story from my time in southern Africa that suggest maybe we should proceed with caution when it comes to foreign aid. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

I’ve got three big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, the FBI searched Joe Biden’s home in Delaware late last week and they found more classified material. Meanwhile, Mr. Biden says he has no regrets about how he’s handled the growing scandal. We’ll talk about all of that. Second, a record number of illegal migrants crossed the southern border last month. I’ve got the details, to include the fact that an increasing number of those migrants are on the terrorist watch list. Third, get out those maps because we’re heading to Africa this morning. From Senegal in Western Africa, to Zambia in Central Africa, and then down to South Africa, where we’ve got an energy crisis to talk about that has ripple effects all the way to Ukraine — and maybe the United States. Later, we close out the podcast with listener feedback, and this one’s a teaser for episode coming up this Friday, a show dedicated to you telling me that I’m wrong.

The Russians are there, up to some sort of funny business. We’ll talk about it. Third, an update on America’s border wars. But this one has nothing to do with illegal drugs or illegal migrants. No, this one has to do with illegal eggs. Finally, a listener question about the Joe Biden Intel Scandal. Some experts are saying that Mr. Biden could have declassified some of those Top Secret documents sitting in his garage and library. I’ll explain why the answer to that is no, he did not have that authority. Later, we close out the podcast with the announcement of a new segment. I’m calling it — Bryan is Wrong.
