It’s August 4th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s the Big Five Update this morning on the PDB. Five briefs on five topics that I’ve discussed with you before with some important updates. First, the Wheat Wars. On Monday the first ship out of Ukraine set sail for the Middle East. But how far did it get? I’ve got that for you. Second, the War of Attrition. The fight between Russia and Ukraine battles on, with American taxpayers propping up Kiev. But what about Russia? How’s their economy these days? I’ve got the latest. Third, last week Joe Biden held a phone call with China’s President Xi. So what’d they talk about? We don’t know for sure. And that is a problem. I’ll explain. Fourth, fans of climate change want to slaughter all of America’s cows. We talked about that this week. But some people think we can save them by changing their feed to bugs. I’ve got that tasty story. And finally on this Big Five Update, gas and diesel prices are going down. And that’s good. Well, not exactly. I’ll explain the reason why none of us should cheer for the reasons behind the drop. And of course, I’ve got one more thing before I let you go, an email today from Tiffany from somewhere in America. She wants to know about that controversial CIA recruitment ad that some of you may have seen. I’ve got my reaction, coming up. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
