The President's Daily Brief

PDB Situation Report | May 25th, 2024: Bye Bye Butcher & China’s Dangerous Games

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:

We'll start off today's program by looking at the life and death of the man known as "The Butcher of Tehran"--late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who met his fate in the mountains of northern Iran this week.

We'll be joined by Behnam Ben Taleblu of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He'll give us some insight into what Raisi's death means for the regime.

A little later, we'll turn to the Far East, where China has launched aggressive military drills surrounding its neighbor Taiwan. Author Gordon Chang shares his thoughts on the escalating tensions there.

Plus, we take a look at a silent crisis at America's southern border as the horrible realities on the ground take their toll on America's border patrol agents.
