Full Episode
It's Friday, the 6th of June. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world stage. All right, let's get briefed.
First, a look at an alarming scheme by two Chinese nationals linked to the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, to allegedly smuggle a biological pathogen that could be used as an agroterrorism weapon into the U.S., where they intended to conduct covert research at a university laboratory. We'll have those details.
Later in the show, President Trump says the Kremlin is preparing to retaliate against Ukraine over their crippling drone attack on Moscow's strategic bomber fleet. The warning followed a lengthy phone call between the president and Vladimir Putin and is further eroding hopes that a peaceful settlement to the war could be achieved.
Plus, a new report reveals that a self-proclaimed, quote, Jew-hater and active participant in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University had direct links to Hamas and the terror group's deadly Al-Qassam brigades. So, wait, you mean that these anti-Semitic protests on college campuses weren't just organic, grassroots protests by sincere, gormless college students? Well, that is shocking.
And in today's Back of the Brief, the somber news out of Gaza, where Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of two hostages with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship that were killed during Hamas's 7 October 2023 terrorist attacks that kicked off this current conflict. But first, today's PDB Spotlight.
We'll start things off with new reporting about an alleged plot by two Chinese nationals, including one with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, to smuggle a dangerous biological pathogen into the US in what one White House official called an attempted attack on the American food supply.
Officials with the Department of Justice announced a slew of charges earlier this week against the two Chinese researchers for plotting to transport samples of a dangerous crop-killing fungus described as a potential agro-terrorism weapon
One of the suspects in question is Yunqing Jian, a 33-year-old alleged Communist Party loyalist that works in an agricultural lab at the University of Michigan and reportedly received funding from the Chinese government for similar work that she conducted in China.
The other is her alleged boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunong Liu, who works as a researcher at a university in China conducting similar studies on agricultural pathogens.
