PDB Situation Report | August 3, 2024: Irans Hard Revenge Against Israel & Maduro Clings to Power

Published: Aug. 3, 2024, 10 a.m.

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:\n\nWe kick off with a look at events in the Middle East, most notably the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed by a hidden explosive device in Tehran while attending the swearing-in of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. We'll be joined by Senior Fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies to discuss the fallout.\n\nLater in the show, Venezuela's government is cracking down on any resistance to President Nicol\xe1s Maduro, announcing hundreds of arrests following this week's election... okay, it wasn't really an election... but, whatever you want to call the bogus process, evidence suggests Maduro lost decisively. WSJ South America Bureau Chief Juan Forero will bring us the latest on that.\n\n\n\nTo listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President\u2019s Daily Brief by visiting\xa0PDBPremium.com.\nPlease remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of The President's Daily Brief.\xa0\nTo watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com/@presidentsdailybrief\n\u2615 Blackout Coffee: https://www.blackoutcoffee.com/PDB\xa0Code: PDB\n\U0001f3c5 Patriot Gold: https://www.patriotgoldgroup.com Say Mike Baker sent you\n\U0001f4b5 Tax Network: www.tnusa.com/mike\nLearn more about your ad choices.
