It’s November 17th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve got five briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, an update out of Ukraine. Looks like we dodged WWIII – for now. I’ll explain. Second, we’ve got some crime numbers out this morning, with one company saying it’s bad and getting worse. Third, voters in Maryland and Missouri legalized marijuana last week.

Plus, we wrap up the podcast later with a study showing how important it is to live a life with purpose. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
