We’ll talk about that.Second, North Korea fired off a powerful missile late last week, one that can hit every state in our union. I’ll give you the details.Third, an update on the potential strike of America’s rail-road workers. I’ll refresh our memories on that story and tell you what to expect today.Fourth, some of Europe’s businesses are relocating to the United States, all because of our cheap, reliable energy.

November 11th, 2022. Veteran's Day Special: Hugh Francis Redmond
It’s November 11th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.------Seventy Seven years ago this month, there was a veteran in Yonkers, New York who was sitting at home after being discharged from the military, having been wounded in World War II. His name was Hugh Redmond.Today we’re going to re-tell the story of Hugh Redmond his incredible life, his service as an intelligence officer, and his eventual death. And the reason that we’re focusing on it today is because of events happening next week.Joe Biden is traveling to Asia and, based on reporting from Reuters News, he will likely meet the President of China.And it’s in China where Hugh Redmond died. A captive held for over 15 years by the Chinese Government, often in solitary confinement and often tortured. To this day, we’re not really sure what happened to Hugh — officials in Beijing told us a story at the time but neither the US Government nor Hugh’s family ever believed it.So today I want to remind us of Hugh’s story of courage, tenacity, and love of country all as America’s president goes face to face with China’s President.It’s a story worth re-telling, folks, because as PDB listeners know, we face the growing prospect of war between China and America.And if that happens, we are going to need men and women just like Hugh Redmond. A new generation of American fighters who are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure freedom and liberty for all.------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.

November 10th, 2022. Special Brief: Exploring the International Impact of Our Midterm Elections
It’s November 10th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.------We are two days out from America’s midterm elections. The Republicans have probably won the House of Representatives; confirmation likely sometime today. The Senate, however, is still up for grabs. I’ll leave it to others to get into the nitty gritty of all that, but here’s the bottom line: assuming Republicans take control of the House, things are likely going to be different in Washington DC. But how different will it be? That’s a question that not only Americans are asking this morning but also the politicians, diplomats, and spies in places like Mexico, China, and Russia. And that will be the focus of today’s special brief: How will this election affect our foreign relations? And how will that affect you? Because that’s what I’m most interested in here at the PDB: how all this foreign stuff impacts your daily lives and that of your family. ------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 November 9th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.------Well, the results are trickling in for America’s midterm elections.

So let’s do a Big Five Update.Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world.First, the Pentagon has admitted it has boots on the ground in Ukraine, with the goal of trying to understand what’s happening to all that weaponry we’re sending to Kiev. Second, China’s looking to make a new friend in Central America, and the way that they’re doing it, is pretty sneaky.Third, a record number of Americans are moving to Mexico, of all places, but some Mexicans aren’t very happy about that.Fourth, there’s a pending rule by the US Government that could mean America’s farmers and ranchers have to track the greenhouse gas emissions on all of their operations.Finally, we’ve got another outbreak of bird flu in Iowa and that might mean higher chicken and turkey prices right before Thanksgiving.Plus, a listener question today this one about freedom of speech.------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.
