Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump welfare work requirements Triple B Bill, Amazon AI job cuts software layoffs, Trump Xi China soybean trade, X-BAT drone vertical launch defense, Kessler Syndrome satellite collision risk, Venezuela airstrike Cartel de los Soles, Germany Sweden migrant crime backlash, Russia Ukraine draft exodus Romania troops, Mali AQ ISIS rebellion evacuation, CIA morality ethics Bryan Dean Wright

I've lost count of how many times I've watched passionate urban farmers burn out because their business model wasn't sustainable—what if there were a better way?This week on Vertical Farming, I sit down with Mary Wetherill, founding president and CEO of Green Food Solutions, for a candid conversation about building a truly sustainable urban farming business. Mary's unique journey—from the service industry and massage therapy to pioneering food access solutions in city environments—gives her an unmatched perspective on both the struggles and opportunities vertical farmers face today.In this episode, Mary demystifies how Green Food Solutions is reimagining the food system with a “farming as a service” franchise model that prioritizes support, profitability, and genuine community impact. We dig into what makes a good franchise partner, why most farms face recurring challenges, and how Mary's mission-driven approach is shaking up the industry's status quo. If you've ever wondered how to make real money in urban farming—without sacrificing your values—this conversation is your playbook.Beyond the business model, you'll hear stories about navigating Silicon Valley hype cycles, lessons learned from early accelerator programs, the importance of resourcefulness, and the surprising ways personal experience shapes entrepreneurial journeys.

There are varying opinions on the realities of climate change, which is backed by science. But at least one group of people is close enough to the effects of it to have a more insightful perspective: farmers.

President Trump meets with Xi Jinping and agrees to an embarrassingly one-sided trade deal, as the “China Hawks” in the administration cower. Meantime, the government shutdown moves to a more painful phase, with funding for SNAP expiring on Nov. 1. Former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp joins Tim to discuss how the chaos from Trump's trade wars has already hurt farmers, how Democrats should play their next moves on the shutdown, and her surprising support for Mamdani/Platner style candidates. show notes: The One Country Project's Hot Dish Podcast

Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in real time. President Trump seems very happy about trade deals made today with China. Voter turnout in the New York City mayoral race is through the roof. Jake Tapper pushes back on Democrat congresswoman. SNAP recipients aren't happy at the moment. Another drug boat blown up in the Pacific. Michelle Obama has a first-world problem … her hair.

As concerns about China purchasing American farmland grow, some farmers have looked to Congress for help, but increasing levels of political division amidst a government shutdown threaten to overshadow their concerns.   Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) discuss their bipartisan effort to address the cybersecurity concerns of American farmers, as well as their efforts to help reopen the government as the shutdown nears record length.

Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if Farm Marketing Mastery can break you out of marketing misery. I used to wake up before dawn to milk cows, spend all day running kids around and doing farm work, then collapse exhausted every single night. Sunrise to sunset - and still no money left at the end of the year. If you're working that hard but there's still nothing left... I need you to stop what you're doing and listen to this episode right now. I mean it. I just got off a coaching call with a farmer who was doing ALL the right things: Amazing website. Farmers market every Saturday. School partnerships. Food pantries. Multiple product sizes. On paper, she looked like she had it figured out. But here's what was actually happening - she was stuck at $80K and couldn't break through. No matter how hard she worked. The problem wasn't that she wasn't doing enough. The problem is she was doing TOO MUCH. In this episode, you'll hear: Why selling chicken, beef, AND pork actually STOPS you from having money leftover at the end of the year The "Scatter Trap" and how it keeps farmers broke - so just know that The "Rule of One" that gets you profitable faster than anything else (most farmers get this totally wrong) The simple fix that helped farmers go from stuck to sold out Here's what changed everything: One product. One sales channel. Consistent effort in ONE direction. That's it. You'll hear the actual coaching call - the breakthroughs, the "aha" moments, the relief when this farmer realized she could let things GO and actually make money. Bottom line: You don't need to do more. You need to do LESS.

Ep 234 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into viral loofahs, ethical eating debates, food allergies, and whether a billion-dollar clothing brand can save agriculture. From the cucumber family plant that keeps breaking the internet to Taylor Sheridan's fiery take on veganism with Joe Rogan, this episode tackles the misconceptions and trade-offs in our food system. Plus, discover why teal pumpkins matter for 1 in 13 kids, how Post Malone shut down Broadway for 30,000 fans, and whether Patagonia's venture into crackers and tinned fish can actually change farming—or if it's just another case of corporate savior complex. Spoiler: a farmer has thoughts, and we want to hear them. What We Discovered This Week

Don sits down with Missouri agroforestry farmer and friend of the show Will Westmoreland, along with a panel of farmers from across the country, to talk about how Trump's policies are hitting rural America where it hurts most, in their fields, their businesses, and their livelihoods. After the election, headlines painted farmers as a monolith that overwhelmingly backed Trump. But the truth is more complicated and many farmers, including some who once supported him, are starting to see just how damaging MAGA's policies have been for their communities. From tariffs to trade, subsidies to soil, this is an honest look at the people growing our food and what happens when politics plows right through the heartland. Learn more about your ad choices.

The fall harvest is wrapping up across Minnesota. But will farmers turn a profit? Following a meeting Thursday between President Trump and China's president Xi Jinping, there is hope that China will resume buying at least some soybeans and other export crops from the U.S. But Minnesota farmers are still suffering from the fallout of the trade war. They're also grappling with inflation, tighter credit and increasingly unpredictable weather. And, the federal government shutdown has slowed access to farm loans, crop insurance, disaster aid and other programs. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with a farmer and Minnesota's agricultural commissioner about these challenges and what's next.

Send us a textA single press call about the farm bill changed everything for our guest, Business Management Editor Cassidy Walter of Successful Farming. What started as a political beat in college became a career dedicated to helping producers make smart, profitable decisions in an unpredictable market.We explore how Cassidy translates corn, soybean, wheat and livestock price moves into plain-English guidance farmers can act on. She explains the difference between agronomy and business reporting, why clear market context matters more when margins tighten and how stories on mental health and community sit alongside coverage of land values, basis and risk management. Cassidy also pulls back the curtain on the craft: breaking down complex policy and trade, partnering with designers to make tough topics visual and choosing sources who bring data and lived experience to the page.You'll hear about standout features like the Huck and Buck Farm Sanctuary profile, the Future Grain Marketers of America story that demystifies hedging for the next generation, and the Mexico Maize package unpacking GMO corn and trade. We also dig into what makes Successful Farming unique across magazine, web, radio and podcasts, plus a preview of high-impact projects: the future of California specialty crops as Peru competes on price, whether grain markets are in a longer downturn and a practical safety guide on preventing and managing fire on the farm.PR pros, there's candid advice here on pitching: write crystal-clear headlines and decks, aim the idea at the right editor and match timelines to print versus digital. Cassidy shares the types of analysts and farmer voices she needs, and the one contact method she always checks: email. If you care about the business side of agriculture, storytelling with purpose and decisions that keep family operations resilient, this conversation is for you.You can connect with Cassidy via email at cassidy.walter@agriculture.com. Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662

Farmers are hoping for relief as President Donald Trump visits Asia to resolve a trade war over tariffs and what's at stake for next week's local elections.

On this episode, we're taking a look at how farmers and gardeners are helping maintain the region's biodiversity. Our first stop? A seed swap.With the summer gardening season at its end, many growers throughout Appalachia are turning their attention to seed saving. It's a practice where gardeners select the seeds from their best crops, and then save them over winter to plant the following spring. This past April, we visited the annual Appalachian Seed Swap in Pikeville, Kentucky.  We learned how important seed saving and swapping are for maintaining Appalachia's biodiversity. And for creating a tasty meal.Next, we travel to Richmond, Kentucky where Brian Chadwell is growing something unexpected. He's a fourth generation farmer and he's using his family's land to grow rice.

Recently the University of Tennessee Institute of agriculture held a ribbon cutting ceremony at their West Tennessee Ag Research and Education Center in Jackson.  The event highlighted new on-site facilities, precision agriculture equipment and laboratory renovations funded through the American Rescue Plan.

This week on The Bubble Lounge, we're celebrating seven incredible years of storytelling, laughter, and community—and we couldn't think of a better guest to mark the occasion than Iris Midler, founder of Chefs for Farmers. Iris embodies everything this show stands for: passion, resilience, and making a difference right here in Dallas. In this episode, she opens up about what it's like balancing motherhood, a family emergency, and one of the biggest food festivals in the city—all in the same week. It's raw, real, and deeply relatable for anyone who's ever tried to “do it all” while keeping a smile on their face.From a simple idea to connect chefs with local farmers to a nationally recognized culinary celebration, Chefs for Farmers has become a can't-miss Dallas event—and it's happening this weekend! Iris shares the story behind the festival, the grit it takes to pull it off, and why championing local food and community is her mission.

Chinese and American negotiators announced on Sunday that they had agreed to a “framework of a deal” on tariffs ahead of President Donald Trump's expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
