Liar liar all for $$$

The snide comments from Mike are getting old.

One finds the information not merely instructive, but positively enriching—though it must be said, the true intellectual delight lies in Mike’s wry humor. The measured cadence of his voice, coupled with that understated brand of sarcasm, is nothing short of a masterclass in subtle wit.

Mike keeps me informed on issues that I sometimes might not be able to or have the time to research on my own. Excellent every time.

I like the updates but he’s an Israel shill. Ex CIA guy covering for Israel? What a shock. AIPAC probably writes his briefings for him

I just discovered Mike, so far I have enjoyed his guests very educational and lightning. He brings to light things that aren’t necessarily spoke of on ABC News at night. Solid podcast

Mike should leave the Daily Briefs to Bryan. But I still love his long form talks on JRE👍

Mr.Baker does a great job of informing the public of the unvarnished news as well as reminding us of the patriots working within our intelligence community.

Mike please interview “The Joshua Project” and ask specifically about the Druze people and understanding who they are. Thanks

Biased right wing propagandist. Low on facts and relevancy.

Excellent foreign policy insight in cogent, easily grasped portions without hype and with patriotic, pro West attitude.

This podcast is informative, brief and to the point without drama or bombastic comments. M Baker is super professional, smart and at times amusing.

I have been listening to Mike for a while now and as some one who considers himself in the middle I didn’t mind that the show leans right. I like to hear both sides. When Mike didn’t report about the shootings from the IDF on innocent Gaza’s people seeking aid, and it turned out to be a hoax, he touted himself as someone who will not report something unless he has verified and has all the facts. That turned out to be hypocritical though when he reported that rioters were attacking ICE agents who were just trying to do their job and deport “Dangerous illegal Immigrants”. He criticized California and its Governor of playing political theater over what ultimately was ICE trying to detain bad guys. It’s pretty hypocritical when the reality is that the protests are about ICE detaining law abiding immigrants who are fixtures of the community. They are taking KIDS and separating families. ICE is not going after hardened criminals, they are going after everyone. For every one bad person they are detaining and deporting hundreds of innocent people who are trying to work their way through the system. But Mike ignores that, calls the protesters names and doesn’t present facts that would hurt his ideology. It’s very hypocritical and frankly disappointing. How can I trust anything he reports now if I know he is not going to present all the facts?

I’m surprised at the criticism from Australia and New Zealand what is Israel supposed to do wait until Iran sends a nuclear missile at them? When you have thousands of people saying “Death to Israel and death to America” you have to take them at their word and defend yourself.

Anti ICE riot discussion leaves our completely that some protesters are against deporting people who may have entered illegally years and decades ago but are being grabbed from court houses as they show up for their hearings, working through the immigration process. Those people work and pay taxes. Not criminals.

In a sea of misinformation and anti Israel anti American propaganda, Mike presents a reality based show for those still capable of logic and critical thinking. It’s a must listen daily.

Way too biased. I’m quickly bored by the non-truths.

Really not much content here, can’t imagine paying for a premium subscription to get right wing talking points that are just as skewed as the left wing media he likes to whine about. He manipulates quotes, inserts personal opinions not backed by facts, and generally goes out of his way to be inflammatory to a conservative audience. It’s a good thing the show is more than 50% ads, there’s plenty of time to google each story and compare. Waste of time.

With Pres. trump’s current dealings with Persia, he is now prepared to pen a new book called the “Art Of The Cave”. Persia has been making suckers of the USA beginning with the Jimmy Carter administration and nothing has change except Persia is very close now in nuking Israel.

Informative, fair, seeking truth.

More ads than content lately.

Sounds a lot like a narrative that CIA would push if they had an asset with a popular podcast.

Seems we had a warning of this when I was working for DHS years ago… anyone ever heard of Huawei? Who would have guessed that the CCP would do something so sneaky!

The new title should be the president’s daily ad brief

Great info and I like that it’s not a long podcast. Hits the highlights on topics I don’t hear covered in other sources. However, I guess Mike’s podcast has grown enough for him to get significant advertising and it appears he accepts all of it. What used to be a short synopsis with a handful of commercials, now it’s commercials with some information sprinkled in. It’s almost unlistenable. Cut some of the ads.

It feels like neocon propaganda these days

Love the show. I just wish you weren’t so monotone. When you are on other shows you don’t sound like you’re reading from a script. On this show you do.

Mike used to be better and is still informative but obviously leans politically right. Especially with the current administration. It’s also really annoying that he bombards the PDB with ads. I understand he has a “premium” version of this podcast but I definitely will not be paying for that for the quality of this podcast.

I absolutely LOVE these daily briefings!! I listen to them both EVERY DAY. They are so informative and straight to the point. No bloviating, just straight facts.

Love this podcast! Thank you! Also love that you live in my State!

Love the podcast but the mocking jabs at Trump are getting really old. The first time was cute, the next 47 times were not and now they’re down right annoying. Please stop. There’s plenty of guys doing what you do and my time is limited. See?

When I ask Siri to start playing the president’s daily brief, which I have in the past, my new iOS (18.4) directs me to news they select including NPR’s daily news. This is a huge foul

I listen during my commute to and from work. Great way to get significant updates on current events in a timely manner.

This is a really good way to keep up with the world news Just the facts as sergeant Friday uses to say Great intelligence and insight from a former CIA spook

A great way to start the day or the afternoon. I’ve been a fan of Baker on Rogan for years and now enjoy the PDB. I was a little disappointed when I heard a pharmaceutical ad in the middle of the PDB, but I’m sure Baker has his reasons (insert a cynical, ironic aside in Baker’s voice here).

Its so nice to have a overview of the news of the day/day before that is as ‘unbiased’ as a human can get. Ur doing great work and keep it up!

I like the format and breadth of issues covered, but the snarky comments get old. Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine and their intentions are self-interested. But to act like the current conflict just started in 2022 is to ignore a broader history and some of the failings of our own country, on both Democrat’s and Republican’s watches. No need to agree with my opinion - please just leave yours out.

I love hearing Mike have to report on Trump because it's pretty obvious he can't stand him. Unbiased, just news, whatever Mike, we know you don't like the guy.

I loved this show previously, when it was short, to the point and relatively unbiased. Unfortunately, Mike’s taken a hard left. Hmm, I wonder which document we’ll see his name on soon for him to become so defensive whenever he mentions trump. Smh

Mile claims the show is unbiased yet there’s clearly pro war and anti Russian bias. Still, great content. Love the quick dose of relevant news although it seems as if there’s more commercials than content.

Not sure why Ukraine is so preferred over Russia. Both are equally corrupt and both have innocent soldiers dying. His bias is so blatant while Ukraine is bleeding us dry- with no respect. Used to be good show under former host.

The PDB makes itself out to be an unbiased fact-based podcast along the lines of an apolitical intelligence agency briefing. Instead, it tends to lean right, de-emphasizing certain matters and emphasizing others. The show is heavily tilted towards Israel. If you want a worldview like Trump’s then listen to this podcast. if you rather hear something more balanced, I recommend everything by the Economist.

I really enjoyed Mike reading the news for the last year or so but since the lead up to the election and particularly recently Mike’s boss showing through that it might as well be Fix news — maybe that’s the audience. Wish he’d go back to just reading the news.

Quick and to the point, without a bunch of distractions and wasted words. An everyday listen in our household.

The news without a slant and nobody telling you how to feel or what to believe and boom, Bobs your uncle. This is the PDB. Thanks Mike!!

Just what people are begging for in a news outlet.

The best show to keep informed. Did Mike get knighted while in England?

I don’t ever write reviews. This podcast is solid. Baker is direct, tells you the news and lets you decide. Only thing I don’t like is its short shows! I can listen to Mike all day! Great job

I learned about the show listening to Joe Rogan interview Mike Baker. Mike said he just gave the news with perhaps a occasional comment but he makes continual comments. Not interested.

If you’re having a hard time reaching the older population; this is where you want to place your ads.
