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.

I’ve got a Special Brief for you this morning that is shaping America — and the world.Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been traveling in Southeast Asia over the past week. Ms. Harris is in the Philippines this morning, while Mr. Biden was in Indonesia last week.Now most of the headlines during their travels have focused on things like China, climate change, and military cooperation. And all of that has degrees of merit.But there was one development that the headlines didn’t capture – and you probably didn’t hear about it either. Yet it’s the story of the most profound importance. And not just for you and me or even America. But the entire world. Because folks there’s a battle brewing this morning. It’s a battle over renewable energy. And depending on how it plays out, it could affect the balance of global power – and the lives of families just like yours.So grab your maps, ladies and gentlemen – on your computer, phone or in your mind – and come with me this morning on a trip around the world — with stops in Indonesia, South America, and the Congo. And by traveling together we’ll come to understand the importance of this story that nobody else is talking about.------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.
