Michael Baker: Gulf States Fear Oil Crisis, Russia Suffers Bloodiest Month In Ukraine War, & CBS Under Fire For Anti-Jewish Bias
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief with Michael Baker:
- We’ll start things off in the Middle East, where leaders from the Gulf states are lobbying the Biden administration to prevent Israel from striking Iranian oil sites, fearing such a retaliation will open up their own oil facilities to attacks by Iranian proxies.
- Later in the program, the Biden administration is looking to leverage Israel’s success in degrading Hezbollah to sever the group’s hold over the Lebanese government, pushing for the election of a new president.
- Then, despite making territorial gains, Russian losses are piling up in eastern Ukraine, which just saw the bloodiest month of fighting since the war began nearly three years ago.
- In our ‘Back of the Brief’ segment, CBS News is in the spotlight over their mounting internal scandals and anti-Israel bias, particularly after an internal memo surfaced that instructed reporters not to refer to Jerusalem as being part of Israel.
