It’s June 9th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. I’m your host and former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright. Your morning intel starts now.

First, New Zealand is planning to tax cows based on how much they burp and — ahem — pass gas. It’s all part of a plan to stop climate change — and you might help pay for it. We’ll discuss.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.
First up: Wheat Wars. Time is running out for getting Ukraine’s crops to market — and prevent global starvation. I’ve got an update on a new northern train route to the Baltic Sea.
Second: Should America legalize drugs? How about marijuana, in particular? Because I’ve got a study for you on how cannabis affects relationships, marriages in particular.

All up next on the President’s Daily Brief.
