    Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.

    Operation Midnight Hammer: Did It Truly Cripple Iran’s Nuclear Program?
    New reports from the IAEA and U.S. intel show conflicting views on how much damage the U.S. and Israel inflicted on Iran’s nuclear efforts. Bryan uses a Skittles analogy to explain uranium enrichment and assess whether Iran can rebuild. While key facilities were destroyed, Iran’s knowledge and possible secret sites remain major concerns.

    Supreme Court Issues Three Major Rulings with Explosive Dissent
    The Court upholds Texas’ right to require age verification for adult websites, affirms parents’ rights to exempt their kids from LGBT curriculum, and limits nationwide injunctions, undercutting past legal blockades against Trump. The majority harshly criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, sparking discussion over judicial competence and even murmurs of removal from the bench.

    NYC Mayoral Candidate Sparks Uproar with Race-Based Tax Proposal
    Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes shifting taxes from minority neighborhoods to “richer, whiter” areas and calls for abolishing billionaires. Critics demand his denaturalization, citing possible Marxist affiliations at the time of his U.S. citizenship. Bryan suggests the DOJ investigate whether he should be stripped of his citizenship under federal law.

    Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday’s Headline Brief as he covers the top stories shaping America and the world.

    Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment
    A leaked report suggesting Trump’s Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation’s major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen.

    Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels
    President Trump’s tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation.

    GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback
    China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family’s $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it’s possible—just not fancy.

    Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles
    Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico’s cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change.

    China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S.
    Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump’s team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear.

    Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects
    Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy.

    Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down
    Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump’s deep spending cuts.

    Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts
    Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it’s enforcing the Constitution.

    New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries
    Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren’t their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan. Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent.

    Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles
    Trump’s administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border “gotaways,” down from 700 under Biden.

    Congress Investigates Biden’s Auto-Pen Presidency
    Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden’s decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena.

    Public Trust in News Plummets as Podcasts Rise
    Only 11 to 16 percent of Americans trust traditional media. Young men turn to podcasts, while women prefer social media. Bryan reflects on the risks of both legacy and new media, calling for critical thinking and personal responsibility in news consumption.

    New Intel Confirms Iran’s Nuclear Program Crippled
    U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirm with high confidence that Iran’s three major nuclear facilities were destroyed in Trump’s recent strike. The enriched uranium is believed to be entombed, though not entirely accounted for, with concerns mounting about a possible hidden site under “Pick-axe Mountain.” Trump says he may not need a peace deal at all, though inspections could still be critical.

    Iranian Sleeper Cells Arrested in the U.S.
    Federal authorities arrest 11 Iranian nationals across the country, including an ex-sniper in Alabama and a Hezbollah-linked man in Minnesota. The arrests come amid heightened fears of retaliation and infiltration following the Iran strike.

    Media and Deep State Under Fire
    Bryan criticizes CNN and The New York Times for spreading a low-confidence intel leak that contradicted broader assessments of the strike’s success. He also exposes former FBI Director Christopher Wray for allegedly burying 2020 election interference evidence involving a Chinese operation to help Joe Biden. Wray is now under investigation.

    New York City’s Leading Mayoral Candidate Sparks Alarm
    Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist, proposes radical policies including defunding police, legalizing prostitution, socializing grocery stores, and seizing apartments. Jewish groups and business leaders warn of severe consequences if he wins, while progressives like Ilhan Omar praise his candidacy.

    Missouri and Oklahoma Lead U.S. Mineral Comeback
    The two states are reviving domestic production of rare earths, cobalt, and other critical minerals once dominated by China. With government support, these states are building refining facilities, battery plants, and recycling operations that could eventually break U.S. dependence on foreign supplies.

I have listened to this podcast for a while now. Daily. But the amount of bias has finally gotten me to the point of unfollowing. I want the news, and I'm fine with it leaning what ever way to an extent. but the way he talks about gems as if they have nothing to offer and are useless is annoying. on top of that he does only seem to report things that fit his bias vs giving us a real idea on what the other side thinks. I had to stop trusting what he said after a while of just derogatory hate for dems. I lean right and really just would love someone who reports facts. he does do good at stating when he is saying his opinion most of the time, which is great and why I listened for so long, but he dosnt seem inclined to change his perspective based on new information and just doubles down blaming everything on dems in general instead of cutting responsibility on the person/people who did it.

he not a bad talker but pretty biased
