It's July 5th, you're listening to the President's Daily Brief.

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

Your morning intel starts now.

The brief you're about to hear is in the same spirit of the actual President's Daily Brief,

which is a top secret summary of the most critical events in the past 24 hours,

all delivered to the President each day by the nation's spy masters.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, I am your spy and this is your brief.

Here's what we're going to be talking about this morning.

First up, Joe Biden attacked gas stations over the holiday weekend,

adding to his list of reasons for why you are paying more at the pump.

But is he right?

And if not, why is he doing it?

We'll discuss the facts.

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

The natural gas wars in Europe took a pretty dark turn over the weekend.

A senator from Hamburg, Germany told residents of his city to prepare for the rationing of hot water.

We'll discuss how this could impact not just the Germans, but Americans like you.

Finally, a major announcement over the weekend from Facebook's management to its employees.

And the message was, get ready for layoffs.

We'll talk about what Facebook is seeing that prompted that warning.

All up next on the President's Daily Brief.

Mailchimp would like to talk to you about customers.
