    Floating Fiasco, Kim’s Satellite Setback, & Taiwan Trip

    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

    Biden’s $320 million boondoggle: the floating pier on the shore of the Gaza Strip, intended to provide a lifeline to Palestinian civilians, continues to struggle. The structure has been damaged by choppy waters, and there are reports that it may even be sinking.

    In today’s Back of the Brief, the Parliament of Georgia overrides a presidential veto on controversial legislation that could torpedo the nation’s candidacy for the European Union and bring it closer to Moscow.

PDB Situation Report 25 MAY 2024

Mike has created a fantastic long-form interview podcast with his Saturday Situation Report. All of the guests for the first two episodes have been exceptional. We are fortunate to listen to such gifted subject matter experts like Gordon G. Chang in an extended interview format. Thank you so much Mike Baker!
