Knowledge is power. In my line of work, it's the difference between success and failure, life and death.

I'm Mike Baker, father, husband, businessman, and a former spy.

I'm the new host of the President's Daily Brief.

For almost 20 years, I walked a tightrope as an operations officer for the CIA.

I know the 20 years in the private sector running my own intelligence firm.

From the dusty streets of Kabul or the jungles of Colombia, my mission was clear, seek the truth,

and protect our country's national security.

Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.

Every weekday morning, I'm going to give you the news with the same analysis and insight

I once offered the most powerful person in the world, the President of the United States.

From the shadowy corners of international espionage to the bright lights of the Oval Office,

we'll uncover the stories that matter to you so you can be more prepared for your day.

The world is a dangerous place.

You deserve to be in the know about what's happening out there, just like the

president is. And trust me, I'm going to make sure you are. Subscribe now wherever you get your
