It\u2019s August 22nd. You\u2019re listening to the President\u2019s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.\n------\nFirst, there are lots of stories and rumors about Ukraine\u2019s main nuclear power plant this morning. It\u2019s not Chernobyl but a placed called Zaporizhzhia. I\u2019m going to explain exactly what\u2019s going on, the threats, and whether or not you should be worried.\n\nAs always, I\u2019m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.\nFirst, Joe Biden is kicking off a national tour this week, highlighting his new climate change bill. But a new rail line for coal shipments in China suggests that this celebration might be misplaced.\n\nSecond, Mother Nature is wrecking havoc on all sorts of crops this year. Unfortunately, we can add a personal favorite of mine to the list: coffee. That\u2019s coming up.\n\nAnd finally, the last thing before I let you go. Question from Angela in Franklin, North Carolina about that very unusual bank robbery in the country of Lebanon that I shared with you last week.\n------\nPlease remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.\nEmail: PDB@TheFirstTV.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
