Summary

It’s August 16th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First, Important developments out of Taiwan this morning, with a new surprise delegation of American politicians showing up. As you’d expect, Beijing is not happy. So this morning we’re going to talk about what happens if this brewing conflict turns to war. How would a war over Taiwan affect you? That’s coming up. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, a presidential election in Kenya just ended and it’s not going well. Election commissioners throwing chairs at each other, violence in the streets. I’ll explain what’s going on, and why you should care. Second, illegal migration numbers are in from our southern border. It’s a record, and not a good one. I’ll explain. And finally, one more thing before I let you go. A comment this morning from Drew from somewhere in America. He thinks that the PDB is too political lately, talking domestic issues instead of just global events. So I’ll respond to Drew’s concerns and see if you agree. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
