03 JUNE 2025: Illegals Sneak Into US High Schools: A National Update on the Border Crisis // Global News From Iran - Nukes, Australia About China, and Poland - With a Connection to Terror in Colorado

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Supreme Court Greenlights Trump’s Deportation Plan – The Court rules that President Trump can end humanitarian parole for over 500,000 migrants brought in under Biden’s CBP One App system. This reverses a lower court ruling requiring case-by-case reviews and sets the stage for widespread deportations—and economic fallout for employers who hired parolees. Democrat Judges Undermining Deportation Efforts – From Boston to Phoenix to San Francisco, Democrat judges are blocking or delaying removals, whether it’s dismissing “failure to register” charges or resisting legal tactics meant to expedite deportations. ICE and DOJ are developing workarounds, including surprise courthouse arrests. Adults Posing as High School Students Spark Outrage – A 24-year-old Venezuelan man enrolled as a sophomore in Ohio, and a 20-year-old in NYC attended school with official backing. Both cases reveal failures in Biden-era migrant vetting and reignite debate over ICE presence in schools. Iran Nuclear Deal at Risk as Trump Reconsiders Red Lines – Axios reports Trump may allow limited uranium enrichment in Iran. Israel is furious, especially after a UN watchdog confirms Tehran has enough material for nine bombs and was conducting secret nuclear work at multiple sites. Australia Exposes China’s Debt Trap Diplomacy – 75 poor nations face $22B in debt repayments to Beijing this year. Bryan outlines how the U.S. could use covert ops and financial diplomacy to counter China’s global leverage, especially in rare earth hotspots like Myanmar. Poland Elects Conservative President Amid Migration Backlash – Voters reject the liberal ruling party in favor of Karol Nawrocki, a nationalist backed by Donald Trump. His win mirrors growing European discontent with open borders, and echoes rising tensions in U.S. states li...

02 JUNE 2025: Massive Drone Strikes in Russia, Lessons for the US // Spy Puzzle: News From DC, Singapore, and Taiwan About a Dangerous Next Six Months - And No New Cars

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Ukraine’s Covert Drone Strike on Russia’s Nuclear Bombers – In a bold operation dubbed “Spider Web,” Ukraine smuggles explosive-laden drones into Russia disguised as backyard sheds, damaging up to 40 nuclear-capable bombers. The strike signals a new era in covert drone warfare and offers a chilling preview of what China might replicate on U.S. soil. Drone Warfare and Port Vulnerabilities Raise U.S. Security Concerns – Bryan connects Ukraine’s tactics to vulnerabilities in U.S. ports, especially Chinese-built cranes embedded with suspect electronics. He warns that the threat of Trojan-horse-style drone attacks is now a domestic risk, not just a foreign battlefield tactic. China’s Rare Earth Blackmail Threatens U.S. Auto Industry – Despite Trump’s tariff rollbacks, China is withholding critical rare earth exports, putting U.S. vehicle production on the brink. Trump responds by suspending Chinese student visas and weighing further retaliatory measures. Defense Secretary Warns: Taiwan Invasion “Could Be Imminent” – At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warns that China is training daily for a Taiwan assault. He urges U.S. readiness and tells Europe to focus on Russian threats instead of meddling in Asia. Analysis: Is Putin Helping Xi By Prolonging the Ukraine War? – Bryan outlines a possible coordination between Russia and China, using Ukraine to distract and weaken the West as Beijing prepares for action on Taiwan.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump Halts Foreign Student Visas, Targets Harvard – The White House suspends all new student visas until consular officers can vet applicants' social media for threats to national security. Harvard is at the center of the crackdown, accused of shielding foreign students involved in criminal or extremist activity to preserve $44B in tuition revenue. Trump threatens legal and financial consequences if records aren't turned over. Federal Contract Cuts Hit DC Hard – The Trump administration slashes billions in federal contracts and terminates thousands of DC consultants. Booz Allen Hamilton lays off 2,500, and DC’s housing market reels as job losses mount. The White House argues the cuts are necessary to rein in spending and curb bureaucratic bloat. Democrats in Disarray: Four Theories, Five Head-Scratchers – As Democratic support plummets, party insiders debate how to win back working-class voters through language changes, socialist platforms, centrist pivots, or influencer outreach. Bryan examines five recent stories—from Seattle to Maine—that reveal deep ideological fractures, and offers a sobering take on the soul of the party he once belonged to.

27 MAY 2025: Putin Survives Drone Assassination and Western Missiles Strike Deep Into Russia // America’s Nuclear Revival // Trump’s Trade War With Europe Is About China // US Beef Price Warning

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Putin Survives Assassination Attempt, Trump Calls Him “Crazy” – Vladimir Putin narrowly escapes a Ukrainian drone strike during a visit to the Kursk region. In response, Russia unleashes its most intense wave of missile attacks on Ukraine to date. Trump reacts by calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY,” signaling a sharp shift in tone. Trump Revives Nuclear Power—but Russia Controls the Fuel – Trump signs executive orders to accelerate U.S. nuclear energy expansion, especially small modular reactors. But a critical fuel—HALEU, is almost entirely sourced from Russia, raising concerns over energy independence and Putin’s leverage. EU Trade War Paused as Trump Pushes Anti-China Alliance – After threatening a 50% tariff on EU imports, Trump delays action to July, aiming to secure a broader anti-China trade pact. European reluctance stems from pressure by Beijing and concerns over American economic demands. Trump Downplays U.S. Textile Industry – Trump says America doesn’t need to manufacture T-shirts or sneakers—just tanks and chips. But experts and small business leaders argue U.S.-made apparel is critical to economic security, moral supply chains, and affordability. Wells Fargo: It Will Take $3 Trillion to Restore U.S. Industry – A new report estimates that returning U.S. manufacturing to 1970s strength would require $3 trillion in capital investment. Investors want policy consistency from Washington before backing the reshoring revolution. Beef Shortage Ahead: USDA Reports Lowest Supply in Years – Feedlot numbers and cold storage levels hit decade lows. Combined with poor grazing conditions, beef prices are set to rise, just in time for BBQ season. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

21 MAY 2025: Trump Defends Biden on Open Borders // Dirty Green Deals in New York // Trump’s Golden Dome // No COVID Shots Needed

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump Defends Biden, Blames “Board of Directors” for Border Crisis – In a viral post, President Trump says Joe Biden wasn’t behind open borders—his cognitive decline left key decisions to unelected handlers, including Jill and Hunter Biden. New details from a Jake Tapper book and medical insiders back up claims of hidden dementia and cancer diagnoses during Biden’s presidency. House Republicans now plan oversight hearings on what they call “the fraud presidency.” Wind for Gas Deal: Trump Trades Turbines for Pipelines – Trump strikes a deal with New York’s Governor Hochul: a $5B wind farm off Long Island moves forward in exchange for greenlighting a long-blocked natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania. Critics call it a “dirty green deal,” but Trump allies say it’s smart leverage to restore energy reliability. “Golden Dome” Missile Shield Unveiled – Trump formally launches a national missile defense initiative to stop hypersonic threats from China and Russia. The plan combines space-based sensors and interceptors, potentially costing hundreds of billions—unless satellites are leased from Elon Musk. FDA Shifts Course on COVID Shots – Healthy Americans under 65 no longer need routine COVID boosters, the FDA says. Critics say the change came too late and still doesn’t address obesity, which remains a top risk factor. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is expected to soon launch a “Take Back Your Health” national campaign.

Supreme Court Takes Up Trump’s Citizenship and Injunction Fight – The justices hear arguments in Trump v. CASA, Inc., tackling whether birthright citizenship can be ended via executive order and whether lower-court judges can issue sweeping “universal injunctions.” The outcome could reshape immigration law and presidential authority. California’s Budget Busted by Illegal Immigration – Governor Newsom proposes rolling back healthcare for illegal aliens after costs skyrocket beyond $9.5B. Democrats revolt, accusing him of betraying progressive values, even as the state faces a $12B budget hole. Trump Scores Win on Alien Enemies Act as Deportation System Exposed – A federal judge allows the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members, though with more due process than Trump sought. Bryan walks through the current deportation process and why it could take 60+ years to remove Biden-era migrants. China’s Inverters Could Cripple the U.S. Grid – Reuters uncovers hidden sabotage tools inside Chinese-made solar and EV inverters. These embedded devices could allow Beijing to shut down U.S. power infrastructure at will. Bryan explains why this, along with China’s defiance on fentanyl, proves “strategic decoupling” isn’t enough. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday’s Headline Brief on The Wright Report—heavy on news, light on analysis—delivering the stories shaping America and the world. History in Rome and Chicago: America’s Pope – Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost is elected Pope Leo XIV. A naturalized Peruvian citizen and former leader of the Order of St. Augustine, the new pope signals a focus on labor rights, climate change, and migration, while opposing “gender ideology” and same-sex adoption. India and Pakistan Edge Closer to War – After a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, drone swarms and dogfights erupt between nuclear-armed neighbors. Pakistan flies Chinese-made jets, prompting Pentagon analysis. Trump expected to intervene diplomatically before his Middle East trip. Trump Deploys Bombers as Iran’s Nuclear Threat Grows – A hidden Iranian facility is revealed to be extracting tritium for nuclear weapons. Trump sends more bombers to Diego Garcia and signals mixed messages on whether any nuclear enrichment will be allowed under a future deal. U.S.-Backed Ceasefire with Houthis Fizzles – Global shipping firms reject Red Sea route despite Trump’s truce. Strike costs top $1 billion. Yemen’s main airport is heavily damaged, but major carriers are still rerouting around Africa.

08 MAY 2025: Trump’s Mystery Announcement: Two Possibilities // Biden Lies About the Gaza Pier Debacle // US Spies Head to Greenland // Good News on Fighting China’s Cyber Hacks and Hypersonics

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump’s Mystery Announcement: Gaza Takeover or Drug Price War? – Trump hints at an “earth-shattering” reveal, with two possible bombshells emerging: a U.S.-led interim government in Gaza after Israel’s offensive, or a sweeping executive order to slash prescription drug prices by tying them to international rates. Biden’s Gaza Pier Scandal Much Worse Than Reported – A Pentagon IG report reveals 62 U.S. troops were injured and one killed in Biden’s failed Gaza pier mission, far more than the three injuries publicly disclosed. The $230M humanitarian project was poorly planned and politically motivated, according to insiders. U.S. Spies Ordered to Target Greenland – Trump instructs the CIA and NSA to gather intel on Greenland’s leadership and sway local officials to favor a Compact of Free Association with the U.S. The effort, driven by Arctic security concerns, aims to counter rising Chinese and Russian military activity in the region. DARPA Deploys AI to Defend U.S. Infrastructure – In a response to Chinese cyber threats like Volt Typhoon, the Pentagon launches a high-stakes AI competition this summer to secure American utilities and critical infrastructure. U.S. Hypersonic Weapons Testing Breakthrough – A successful test of the reusable Talon-A2 hypersonic aircraft marks a major step forward for U.S. missile defense and offense. The vehicle hit Mach 5 speeds, helping the U.S. catch up to China and Russia in this vital arms race. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

Chinese Mobsters Running Illegal Pot Grows Tied to Communist Party – A new investigation reveals deep links between Chinese nationals running illegal marijuana operations in Maine and the Chinese Communist Party. The operations, near U.S. military sites, raise fears of espionage, sabotage, and covert influence campaigns. Trump Admin Expands “Cash for Departure” Program – Migrants who voluntarily leave the U.S. could receive $1,000 under a new DHS policy aimed at reducing deportation costs. Inspired by Sweden’s $34,000 offer to migrants, the move tests whether financial incentives can reverse illegal immigration trends.

Sweden’s PM blames failed integration and vows mass removals. Middle East on Edge: Israel Readies for Full Gaza Occupation – Netanyahu signals a ten-day deadline for Hamas to make peace, or face total military takeover of Gaza. Israeli forces also escalate strikes on Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and regime targets in Syria.

05 MAY 2025: Trump Refuses To Uphold the Constitution? // Border War Updates // Global Updates: Shocker in Japan, a China “Offer” on Drugs, Populists Rally in UK, Tyranny in Germany, Panic in Venezuela

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump Sparks Media Outrage with “I Don’t Know” Constitution Comment – When asked if all migrants are guaranteed due process, Trump responded, “I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer,” prompting a media firestorm. But as legal experts and NPR report, due process rights exist on a spectrum—meaning Trump’s answer may have been more accurate than the headlines suggest. Border Wars Escalate: Military Arrests Begin, Trump Sues Colorado and Denver – The U.S. military now patrols a 53-mile zone near El Paso where illegal immigrants can be arrested for trespassing on military land. Meanwhile, the DOJ sues Colorado and Denver for sanctuary laws that obstruct ICE operations, sending a warning with $8M in fines against local businesses. Mexico Says “No” to U.S. Troops, But Cooperates Privately – President Trump offered to send U.S. troops into Mexico to combat cartels, but President Sheinbaum publicly rejected it. Privately, however, she’s cooperating—delivering border control and water rights while protecting her nationalist image. Japan Threatens to Weaponize U.S. Debt – Japan’s finance minister says its $1T in U.S. debt holdings could be used in trade talks—an unprecedented move that could rattle global markets and U.S. interest rates if acted upon. China Offers Fentanyl Crackdown in Exchange for Tariff Relief – Xi Jinping proposes to curb fentanyl production in return for U.S. tariff reductions, but Bryan warns the offer is hollow given Xi’s deep ties to the Chinese mafia behind the trafficking. Europe Tilts Toward Extremes: UK Labour Party Loses Ground, Germany Labels AfD “Extremist” – In Britain, pro-Palestinian and anti-immigration candidates make gains. In Germany, the AfD is now officially under surveillance, sparking U.S. backlash over civil liberties and democracy. China Quietly Support...

White House Messaging Misstep? Bryan Urges Recommitment to “Economic Revolution” – With approval slipping and the press questioning Trump’s strategy, Bryan argues the president must rally Americans daily with a clear mission and message: the Five Bucket Strategy is tough, but worth it.

Trump’s 100-Day Diplomacy: Wins and Setbacks Abroad – Trump scores victories as Mexico agrees to water deliveries, India ramps up U.S. oil purchases, and Egypt faces pressure to grant free U.S. access to the Suez Canal. But his strategy falters in Ukraine and Canada, with Putin walking away from negotiations and Canada electing a leftist government amid anti-Trump backlash. Can Trump Eliminate Income Tax? The Math Doesn’t Work – The White House floats ending income taxes for Americans earning under $200K, funded by tariffs. But with federal spending at $18B/day and tariff revenue projected at $3B/day, the math—and the politics—don’t support it without massive cuts. Supply Chain Reality: Mixed Signals from the Economy – Treasury says U.S. shelves are stocked and supply chains are realigning, but UPS layoffs and shrinking West Coast port traffic hint at deeper disruptions ahead. “Take Back Your Health” Campaign Launches Nationwide – HHS Secretary RFK Jr. leads a new effort to combat obesity, encourage fitness, and educate Americans on better food choices. The military obesity crisis adds urgency to the movement. Medical Breakthroughs on Gut Health – New research shows gut bacteria transplants can dramatically reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, and coffee (not caffeine) boosts resilience and gut health.

Trump’s First 100 Days: Achievements and Challenges – President Trump celebrates 100 days in office with mixed polling results. While Democrats move to impeach him, fresh data shows Trump is still preferred over Democrats on key issues like immigration and national security. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy shows resilience despite tariff pressures, though supply chain concerns loom. Border Security Milestone: Near Total Control Achieved – Only nine migrants have been released into the U.S. during Trump’s term so far, compared to 9,000 daily under Biden. The administration is also building a massive new database to target millions of illegal immigrants for deportation. Houthis Use Chinese Intel to Strike U.S. Navy – A Chinese satellite company supplied intelligence that helped the Houthis target the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea, leading to the loss of a $60 million Navy jet. Bryan calls for a tougher U.S. response to China’s proxy aggression. Spain’s Massive Blackout Raises Cyberattack Fears – Spain suffers a nationwide power outage, prompting concerns about Russian cyberattacks and vulnerabilities tied to green energy dependence. Bryan warns listeners to prepare for disruptions. China’s Sneaky Plan to Evade Trump Tariffs – Chinese companies are working through Indian intermediaries to bypass U.S. tariffs, highlighting both the resilience of global markets and the need for a more effective American reshoring strategy. Bryan proposes offering Indian companies incentives to establish factories in the US instead. Get the facts, the analysis, and the truth - only on The Wright Report.

Democrats’ New Border Strategy: Delay Deportations with “Due Process” – New polling reveals voters support mass deportation, but also demand legal fairness. Democrats are seizing that sentiment, working to bog down removals in court, particularly under sympathetic judges. Cartels Shift from Smuggling to Kidnapping – With the border locked down, Mexican cartels are turning to ransoms, targeting tourists and stranded migrants alike. Officials warn Americans: Don’t travel to Mexico.

Meanwhile, U.S. reshoring continues as companies like Guardian Bikes ramp up American production.

Ukraine Peace Plan Hits Resistance in Kyiv, Progress in Moscow – Zelenskyy balks at recognizing Crimea as Russian, while Putin signals he may settle for current battlefield lines elsewhere. Peace negotiations face a pivotal week. Trump’s Messaging on China Criticized as Inconsistent – While previously championing “Fortress North America,” the administration now says decoupling from China isn’t the goal, raising confusion and concern. Quartz and Rare Earths Could Shift Chip War – With key materials for semiconductors and plastics under pressure, the U.S. may use its quartz supply as leverage against China, as Trump’s team considers counter-moves.

Iran Peace Talks Falter as Trump Suspects Stalling – Despite optimistic signals from U.S. and Iranian negotiators, President Trump warns the Ayatollah may be playing for time, possibly to build a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, 80,000 Yemeni troops prepare to launch a massive offensive on the Iran-backed Houthis. Trump Blasts Zelenskyy, Mulls Shock Strategy in Ukraine – After Zelenskyy criticized Vice President Vance, Trump fires back and suggests it may be time for Europe to take full responsibility for the war. He hints at ending U.S. support unless progress is made in peace talks.

Trump allies speculate Beijing may have secretly undermined U.S. and EU mining efforts through environmental activism and elite influence. Congo Minerals Deal Inches Closer – Trump’s envoy says there’s a “path forward” for U.S. access to Congo’s $20T in mineral riches. Companies like Rio Tinto and KoBold Metals are lining up, potentially reshaping the global supply chain. U.S.-Mexico Water Conflict Heats Up – Trump threatens tariffs and sanctions over Mexico’s failure to release treaty-mandated water to Texas. He also floats an FDR-scale civil works plan to desalinate and reroute water from northern Mexico into the American Southwest.

Trump-Bukele Summit Highlights Deportation Standoff – El Salvador’s president meets with Trump as the White House refuses to return a deported MS-13 suspect, despite a Supreme Court ruling. The broader message: mass deportation is the only viable response to the Biden-era migrant influx. U.S. Troops Return to Panama – In a major geopolitical move, America regains access to three former military bases and priority, toll-free access through the Panama Canal—infuriating socialist leaders in Central America. Trump Tariff War Evolves: Retaliation, Cheating, and Supply Risks – Trump eases tariffs on electronics, but China counters with rare earth and drug ingredient restrictions. Chinese firms ramp up fraud to dodge U.S. tariffs, while Trump quietly gears up deep-sea mining to combat resource dependence. U.S. Border Becomes Military Zone – Trump designates parts of the southern border as military land, empowering the Pentagon to detain illegal crossers. Meanwhile, migrants scramble to send money home as new registration and fines kick in. CNN Poll Shows Working-Class Shift to GOP – New polling shows Republicans now tie Democrats in voter perception of “caring about people like me,” a historic shift powered by Trump’s appeal to non-college-educated Americans. Bernie and AOC Say Collapse Is Good – Democratic Socialists argue America’s decline should be embraced so something new—socialism—can replace it. Trump’s coalition, seeing him as a last shot to save the nation, braces for a high-stakes political and cultural battle.
