| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, the 18th of June. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. |
| 0:16.6 | I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world stage. All right, and let's get briefed. |
| 0:22.9 | First up, G7 leaders were in for a surprise this week, with a subdued President Trump |
| 0:29.4 | arriving in France and taking a more measured approach than many allies had expected. |
| 0:34.9 | And yes, that is the first time anyone has ever said President Trump and |
| 0:40.1 | subdued in the same sentence. Later in the show, the war with Iran may have permanently |
