It's July 22nd.

You're listening to a special edition of the President's Daily Brief.

I'm your host and former CIA officer, Brian Dean Wright.

Your morning intel starts now.

On Monday of this week, I issued you all a challenge.

Write to me with your questions about any topic, any place in the world, and even questions

about me.

I wanted to give you all a chance to peek behind the podcast and learn more about not

just me, but how I bring you all the PDB each day at 6 a.m.

Well, boy or boy, did you all write lots of questions about my time in the CIA, how the

podcast got its start and plans for its future.

You also asked about Afghanistan and a whole bunch about China.

And what did you ask something that I think is really important?

How do you as a listener out there in America make a difference?

Well, sometimes it just feels overwhelming and, well, a bit hopeless.

So my friends, we're going to cover all of that plus a few fun surprises all up next

on this special edition of the President's Daily Brief.

Take a look at the news around you on any given day and what do you see stubborn lingering

inflation, soaring interest rates, rising energy costs, astronomical debt, growing international

tensions.

Well, if you're like me, you see an unstable financial landscape.

And also, like me, maybe you're concerned about your future retirement.
