Well, it's the start of another week. Today, Monday, September 18th. Welcome to the

President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world's stage. Let's get

picket lines. For GM, it's the Wentzville Missouri plant. For Stellantis, it's the Toledo plant,

and for Ford, it's the Wayne Michigan operation. And the rift? Well, it's deep.
