On this episode of Global News Today with Micheal Prendergast, we’re joined by Mike Baker, ex-CIA covert operations officer, host of The President’s Daily Brief, and a regular on the world’s biggest show, The Joe Rogan Experience.

We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, questions around online radicalization, and whether those in a Discord server could face legal consequences. Baker weighs in on the Israeli strike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar, the intel message it sends, and how it fits with Mossad’s reputation. We also cover the war in Ukraine and unpack Operation Eastern Sentry in Europe, Trump’s pending TikTok deal in the US, and what’s really at stake from a national security perspective. The show wraps with analysis of President Trump’s upcoming State Royal Visit to the UK and what it signals globally.
