About this episode

It’s September 22nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.

------

Russia has announced a major escalation in its War in Ukraine, with hundreds of thousands of new troops mobilized. I’ve got those details — plus three things that you should be watching for.


As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.

First, some bad news for Dirty Green Energy. An industrial battery in California caught on fire, a highway shut down, people locked inside their homes. Some important lessons, coming up. 


Second, the Biden Administration committed $200M to Central American countries yesterday for humanitarian purposes. Bad timing, though: a former first lady in Honduras was just convicted for stealing the same.


And finally, the last thing before I let you go. A listener question about another former US military general comparing conservatives in this country to Nazis. We’ll discuss it.
