August 31st, 2022. Were Sanctions Against Russia Effective? North Korea's Leader Contracts COVID.
It\u2019s August 31st. You\u2019re listening to the President\u2019s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.\n------\nIt\u2019s a Special PDB this morning. The Main Brief today and all week is chosen by you \u2014 things we\u2019ve discussed before but updated with new information, new data, and fresh analysis.\n\nFirst, we are back at the ringside fight between Russia and Ukraine. Last week we used a boxing analogy to try to understand the punches being thrown, with one by America and Europe aimed at Russia\u2019s economy. We\u2019re of course talking about the economic sanctions. So how did that punch land? Is Russia on the economic ropes? We\u2019ll discuss the data, plus a reminder of why this story is so important to you and your family.\n\nAs always, I\u2019m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.\nFirst, some California solar panels that just might be a win-win for everybody.\n\nSecond, North Korea\u2019s leader has COVID. That could mean bad news for our men and women in uniform.\n\nFinally, we wrap up the podcast with a question from a listener. This one about how much compassion we should have for illegal migrants.\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.
