It's September 7th.

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.

Welcome to a big five update this morning, five critical updates on stories we've covered

previously that are shaping America and the world.

First some good economic news on jobs and housing.

Second some even better news for America's ranchers.

Third, a new California law means the consumers will pay more for their burger and fries.

Fourth, an Asian country is mysteriously selling more oil than they pump out of the ground.

Finally and speaking of oil, Europe is still buying it from Russia, a whole bunch.

Plus, one more thing before I let you go, response to a listener question about a former

CIA director who thinks the Republicans are more dangerous than Al Qaeda.

But first, let's get started with our big five update.

We've got two pieces of good news on the economic front, more jobs and lower housing costs.

Let's start with the jobs.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US added 315,000 jobs in the month of

August.

And that brings our total employment to just over 152.7 million people, which is right where

we were at before the pandemic hit.

So this is a major accomplishment and it's really a testament to our business owners

everywhere.
