It’s January 25th. 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 four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, we’ve got an update on America’s intel scandal. This time it’s not Joe Biden. A new politician says that he too had classified material at his home.  Second, we’ve got an update on Ukraine, with how global powers are doubling down on their investments in the war — with your money. Third, the country of Norway just announced a major commitment to oil and gas exploration. Environmentalists are outraged.  Fourth, we’ve got a poll showing where South Africans would rather live — either the US, Russia, or China. The results tell us a lot about / not just South Africa, but why the US is still a pretty exceptional place. Later, we close out the podcast with a personal observation about the US Treasury Secretary’s visit to Africa. She’s making a lot of promises for aid. But I’ve got a story from my time in southern Africa that suggest maybe we should proceed with caution when it comes to foreign aid. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
