I\\u2019ve got two big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America \\u2014 and the world.\\n\\nFirst, there is a fight tomorrow at the White House, with Republicans squaring off against Joe Biden over the debt ceiling. I\\u2019ll give you a brief to help you sort through the arguments you\\u2019re going to hear \\u2014 and decide who\\u2019s right.\\n\\nSecond, get those maps and passports ready\\xa0because we\\u2019re launching a new segment today called Cold War TWO. And that series is going to be focused on the global fight between China and the United States, much as there was a fight between America and the Soviet Union in decades gone by. So for today\\u2019s first episode, we\\u2019re going to travel around the world to check in on who has more friends, us or Beijing. Plus, we\\u2019ll remind ourselves of why we should care about this global competition.\\n\\nLater, we close out the podcast with a study on human nature \\u2014 something pretty important in global affairs, actually. We look specifically at when kids can first tell that adults are telling them a fib or giving them a lame excuse.\\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.
