It’s August 2nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Al-Qa’ida’s leader Ayman al-Zawahri is dead. I’ll give you the latest on this very good news, to include what this death means in our War on Terror. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, you may have seen the headlines about the horrible fires in Europe over the past couple weeks. Media outlets blamed climate change. But there was an arrest last week in France that suggests otherwise. We’ll discuss that sobering news. Second, American car companies are building more electric cars, which means they need more batteries. That’s leading many of them to sign deals with the Chinese. I’ll share the latest. And finally, the last thing before I let you go. An email from Charlie in Twin Falls, Idaho. He worries that America is cracking apart, and that maybe we are headed for a civil war. So we’re going to talk about that, and see if you agree. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
