Today is Columbus Day. I sure hope you’re spending it in celebration, maybe some rest too. Regardless, today we are going to remind ourselves of the incredible story of Douglas Seymour MacKiernan. It’s part of the series I like to do on holidays, to highlight my brothers and sisters at the CIA who have died in line of duty — I want to share their lives and their sacrifice.And Douglas Seymour MacKiernan, what an example of that. For decades no one knew his story. And that’s not surprising, he worked undercover.But this morning we should talk about him. Because it’s an extraordinary story, not only for the time in which he lived but for us too.Because the enemy that he faced — Communist China — is the same one that we face today.So come with me on this journey, one that starts in Mexico City, onward to Massachusetts, then ends on a patch of frozen ground in China, just a few feet shy of what would have been Doug MacKiernan’s freedom.All that, plus what Doug’s life means for America now, on this special edition of the President’s Daily Brief. We’ll be right back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s October 5th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.------We’ve got a Special Edition of the PDB this morning. It’s a totally new episode on the Dirty Green Revolution. And today it’s all about Electric Vehicles.For those unaware, we had a four part series, starting on September 12th, that look into solar, wind, batteries, and the mining of materials to make those batteries. The goal was to apply a critical eye towards these renewable industries and ask whether they’re really as green and without cost as proponents tell us. Well one thing we didn’t look into a few weeks back was Electric Vehicles. And it’s really important that we do. The reason: Joe Biden signed a $370B bill last month, with billions to make sure you buy one of these electric vehicles. Plus, in the past two weeks, the States of California, New York, and others have passed laws banning the sale of new, gas powered vehicles by the year 2035.------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.
