Bolton Indicted & Discord At The Pentagon

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

- First—Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on 18 counts over his alleged mishandling of classified materials. I’ll have the details.

- Later in the show—in a surprise move, the Pentagon announced that the four-star admiral leading U.S. military forces in Latin America will step down from his post before the end of the year. The departure reportedly stems from mounting tensions with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the Trump administration’s approach to fighting cartels, and comes amid escalating tensions with Venezuela.

On September 26th, 1983, the world came closer to nuclear war than most people ever realized. Inside a secret Soviet bunker, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov faced a terrifying choice: trust the computers that screamed U.S. missiles were on the way—or trust his gut. Protocol said one phone call could unleash thousands of Soviet warheads and end civilization in less than an hour.

This is the story of how one man’s decision in the middle of the night may have saved humanity. Listen to the first episode of The Day The World Almost Ended for FREE to learn how close we came to annihilation — and why the fate of billions rested on a single man at a console in 1983. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-presidents-daily-brief/id1617887885

“Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility—just off the coast of Venezuela,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The administration has made clear: the war on the cartels isn’t limited to the border.
