    Biden Threatens Israel & MTG's Bid To Unseat GOP Speaker Fails Spectacularly

    In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
      
    The rift between the Biden administration and Israel is growing ever wider, as Biden vowed Wednesday evening to stop supplying Israel with weapons and artillery shells if their military invades Rafah, drawing condemnations from Israeli leaders and members of Congress from both parties. 

    We’ll discuss Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s failed attempt at removing House Speaker Mike Johnson from his post, which was roundly rejected by Congress on Wednesday in a rare moment of bipartisanship.

    Ceasefire Confusion, Putin’s Power, & Drone Dynamics

    Ceasefire Confusion, Putin’s Power, & Drone Dynamics

    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
     
    The IDF has begun operations in Rafah just hours after Hamas announced would accept a deal to halt the seven-month-long war with Israel in Gaza—something Israeli officials dismissed as a ceasefire ploy.

    Vladimir Putin begins his fifth term as President of Russia, leveraging the war in Ukraine to solidify his authority.

    We take a look into how drone warfare is reshaping the modern battlefield and why America is struggling to adapt to this critical technology for national security.

    In our Back of the Brief segment, we discuss the fallout from anti-Israel protests on college campuses, including Columbia University's cancellation of its commencement ceremony.

Total Mike Baker crush

This guy is hilarious! I love how he injects humor into serious stories and I think he’s the best host for a short news show. I occasionally see him in interviews as well. Fantastic!

PDB

This podcast gives me all the news of the day in a concise format without slathering it with political opinion. And I love the sarcasm. Keep up the great work.

That Wise One ,

The lesson you teach using Doug’s story

You have talked about Doug before but like anything important, and if you love freedom, Doug’s story is very important it worth repeating. To refresh memories and inform new listeners. Again thank you for what you do.
Thanks Mike I enjoy your pod cast and your time on Gutfield. If my memory serves me wasn’t there a relative of Rockefeller that had a similar story as Biden’s uncle. That info I believe came out while he served a little time as VP. He even stole that story. Thanks again
