Because in the Middle East, promises are easy, but power and control are rarely surrendered easily.

And for Hamas, arms and power are two sides of the same coin.

And that, my friends, is the PDB Afternoon Bulletin for Friday, the 16th of January.

If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to me at pdbatthefirsttv.com.

Now, as you know, millions of people across the globe rejoice every Friday morning knowing that Fridays inevitably bring a brand new episode of our much-loved weekend show, the PDB Situation Report.

This weekend's guests include Ryan Bodenheimer, better known as Max Afterburner, former U.S.

fighter pilot and all-around smart guy, as well as Luis Martinez, NTD TV correspondent and Venezuela analyst.

We're digging into the situation in Iran and the latest developments in Venezuela, including Trump's meeting with opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.

You can catch it tonight at 10 p.m.

on The First TV, as well as on our YouTube channel.

Please check that out.

You can find that, of course, on YouTube, at President's Daily Brief, and podcast platforms everywhere.

Be sure to tune in.

As the kids say, it's a humdinger.

I'm Mike Baker, and I'll be back over the weekend with the PDB Situation Report.

Until then, stay informed, stay safe, stay cool.

It's Thursday, the 15th of January.

Welcome to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin.

I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.

All right, let's get briefed.
