President's Daily Brief

It's absolutely wild.

We've gone from the PDB, the Presidential Daily Brief, which is the best information, calls from the best intelligence sources, to MAGA News 123 on Facebook.

Yeah.

And it's interesting because with Trump, everything is about his ego and making him feel good so he's not mean to you.

Now I've got a show.

I think she's read like the PDB and stuff.

Here's Rubio yesterday.

Folks, the meeting hasn't even happened.

His allegations on Rogan have really promoted an enormous amount of interest, and a lot of people are very, very keen to know more about quite extraordinary allegations from somebody who's regarded as, I think, probably the most credible of UFO, UAP witnesses that have come forward in recent years.

People have to remember that David was the guy who wrote the Presidential Daily Brief.

He briefed the president in intelligence briefings every day, hand couriered these briefings to the White House from his job with the National Science Office and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

A very, very trusted intelligence officer at the highest levels of the US military, making claims on a major show of reptilian beings more than seven feet tall with powerful gorilla-like builds and scaly skin.

And one of the other things that people are talking about a lot in Washington since he raised his allegations is David Grusch, the former US Air Force major who was a senior major whistleblower, went to Congress, spoke to me exclusively on News Nation, where he revealed in an interview on a major podcast his knowledge of scaly reptilian beings living amongst us.

She's, uh, asking some questions about spies and AI.

"Brian, I've been with you since the PDB days.

You've gotten better over the years, and it's been fun to listen." Thank you, Patty.

"Uh, I was wondering about an article that my husband read about a spy planting a bug or a device at the company OpenAI.

Well done, everyone.

Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.

I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.

All right, let's get briefed.

For Seoul, this is about giving North Korea another reason to think twice before attacking by developing a weapon that can reach key targets across the Korean Peninsula.

The presidential office describes it as, quote, a new deterrence capability capable of striking key targets within the Korean Peninsula's operational environment, end quote.

And that, my friends, is the President's Daily Brief for Friday, the 9th of October.

Now, if you have any questions or comments, and I hope you do, just reach out to me at PDB at thefirsttv.com. And of course, well, look at that.

One of the things that the CIA generally loves is when a new president is elected and he has no foreign policy experience whatsoever.

Because from the day after the election, he's entitled to a PDB briefing, President's Daily Brief.

And so it's usually the deputy director for intelligence or the director of the PDB staff or, or sometimes both of them together that will go brief the new president-elect.

And I always say, as soon as they lay out the first, like, blue border report or black border report, it's like six levels above top secret, and they say, "Mr.

It's not quite equivalent, you mentioned the JIC, the Joint Intelligence Committee in the UK.

He's getting something akin to the PDB.

I mean, essentially-

Yeah

Well, you know, who are we? Are we a national, uh, asset? Are we a national intelligence service? Uh, and the agency sort of was grappling with that whole experience.

And, and you'll recall also the, the movement in air quotes of the, uh, PDB from the agency to the DNI, the President's Daily Brief While most of it was still done by the agency, it was sort of nominally under the authority and the control and the direction of the, the DNI.

So there was a lot of, uh, I think you, you said it right when you said an existential crisis.

There was a lot of concern and churn about who we are and, and what we were.

It was if, uh...

In fact, if, uh, I, I don't recall the particular sort of grading structure, but, uh, a, I would remember, uh, I can remember that if a TD was used in a particular intelligence report, it would be scored a certain way.

If it was used, uh, as a piece for a president's daily brief item, it would be scored a different way.

And if it was something that the consumer actually commented on, uh, it was scored a, an even different way, right?

Julia served as an analyst, first at the Defense Intelligence Agency and then at the CIA, where she became a senior analyst, um, and all, went all the way up to National Security Council level.

She was the PDB, the Presidential Daily Brief, Briefer, um, to H.R. McMaster and then Vice President Pence.

Uh, and, uh, then served through the Biden administration and into the early Trump administration, second Trump administration, where she was purged essentially, um, after being targeted by Laura Loomer.

Uh, [laughs] so we'll get into all of this sort of stuff.

I...

No, thank you.

And to jump ahead a little bit, um, to get back, uh, to your career timeline, um, I think most people probably know what the Presidential Daily Brief is, but I, I mean, I'd like to ask an actual expert that briefed it.

[laughs]
