It's May 2nd. 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 with the most critical

events in the past 24 hours, all delivered to the President each day by the nation's bymasters.

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, oil wars. No, not the kind you put in your car, the kind you

put in your body, specifically sunflower and palm oil. Prices are going up for both and so too

will your grocery bill. I'll explain why. Your second brief, swimming lessons in Nicaragua,

not for fun, but for would be illegals to learn how to better cross the Rio Grande River and into the

United States. We'll talk about why this is happening. As always, I'm keeping an eye out for

developing stories that put this one on your radar. Russia is using spy dolphins and its war against

Ukraine. We're going to talk about that and when the CIA tried to do something similar, it did not

go well. All up next on the President's Daily Brief. Your first piece of intel this morning,

oil wars. By now, we all know that prices for gas and oil have skyrocketed. In fact, the average

price of diesel fuel was $5.16 on Friday, more than a dollar higher than gasoline.

But there's another oil that we need to talk about this morning, and it's the kind that you

have in your kitchen and your pantry. And it matters because your food bill is about to get much,

much higher. Last week, the country of Indonesia put a complete stop to the exportation of palm oil

from its farms. This is a really big deal for a couple of reasons. First, you have to understand

that palm oil isn't everything that you can imagine. If you buy packaged foods like Oreos,

let's say, it's got palm oil in it. In fact, half of these kinds of food products do.

It's also a key element of foaming agents that you put in soaps and champoos and detergents.
