Finally, a record amount of America’s oil is being sent abroad, despite the need here at home. But I’ll explain why climate change policies are preventing that oil from becoming cheaper gas.

From William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer to the 2016 Presidential Election, this special brief takes a look at the history of fake news. Also, a suggestion on how to combat the urge to stop reading after the headline,

June 8th, 2022. Special Brief: Biden Lifts Tariffs Against China Helping Them Continue to Steal Our Economy
It’s June 8th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. I’m your host and former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright. Your morning intel starts now.
On Monday, Joe Biden waived tariffs on foreign solar panels. Now that didn’t get a lot of press probably because, well, it’s about solar panels. Not exactly the stuff of great consequence. But actually it is. It’s a really big deal. And I’m going to explain why. Why this decision about foreign solar panels is really about the future of America.
And it’s a future that doesn’t look bright because of a massive political failure in this country.
You see, those foreign solar panels used to be made here. Or could have been. That is, until their patented designs were stolen through espionage — taken by Chinese spies back to Beijing many years ago, and given to their solar companies to make panels there.
So join me this morning on a special brief, one not just about solar panels. But the very future of America.
