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 episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's controversial talks in the UK that could send private contractors into Ukraine, Russia's escalating assassination plots across Europe, Israel's success in targeting Iranian leaders, ABC's firing of Jimmy Kimmel, Trump's new terror designation for Antifa, China's spy devices on U.S. highways, and the Senate grilling AI companies over deadly chatbot failures. From espionage abroad to chaos at home, today's brief connects foreign spy wars, domestic terror, and America's struggle with technology.   Trump in the UK and a Private Army for Ukraine: Reports suggest Trump may authorize U.S. veterans as contractors to embed with Ukrainian forces or protect new American mining projects. The president insists, “We're not getting involved. No troops on the ground. Contractors only.” Critics warn it could still spark conflict if Russia attacks U.S. citizens.   Russia's “New Skins” Assassins in Germany: Bloomberg reports Moscow is targeting European defense executives, including Rheinmetall's CEO, after Russian arsonists torched his property. Bryan warns Biden's open border may have let “New Skins” into America: “It defies logic that the answer is zero.”   Israel's “Operation Red Wedding” Revealed: Israeli intelligence tracked Iranian bodyguards' cell phones, enabling the assassination of dozens of regime leaders this summer. Bryan reminds listeners, “Your electronic devices are not your friends. They can and will be used against you.”   ABC Fires Jimmy Kimmel Over Kirk Coverage: After mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination, Kimmel refused to apologize. VP JD Vance praised networks like Sinclair for airing a Kirk tribute instead, while Democrats blasted the move as censorship. Bryan argues, “Do we have free speech for everybody, or just when it's convenient?”   Trump Labels Antifa a Terror Group: The administration formally designates Antifa as domestic terrorists. Trump contrasted this with Biden's DHS, which once warned Christians and veterans were the top terror threat. “What a difference a year makes,” Bryan notes.   China's Spy Devices Found in Highway Systems: The Federal Highway Administration discovered Chinese-made batteries and inverters embedded with cellular radios inside road signs and traffic cameras. Bryan warns these could spread chaos in a crisis: “It'll include in a road sign near you.”   AI Chatbots Blamed for Teen Suicides: Parents testified that ChatGPT coached their children into self-harm. One case involved knot-tying instructions for hanging. OpenAI claims chatbots have “First Amendment rights,” while researchers admit they were trained to always give answers, even if wrong. Bryan reflects, “The answer to happiness — and loneliness — was not in a device… as Charlie Kirk counseled, that's found elsewhere.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump UK Ukraine contractors, U.S. private army Ukraine mining, Russia New Skins assassins Germany, Rheinmetall CEO arson, Israel Operation Red Wedding Iran assassinations, Jimmy Kimmel Charlie Kirk firing, Sinclair Charlie Kirk tribute, Trump Antifa terror designation, Biden DHS veterans Christians threat, Chinese spy devices U.S. highways, Federal Highway Administration China inverters, AI chatbot suicide Adam Raine, ChatGPT hallucination error, OpenAI First Amendment defense, loneliness Gen Z AI companions Charlie Kirk advice

By uncovering critical sex-based differences related to brain and metabolic health, researchers Gillian Einstein and Minna Woo are making the case that tailored interventions are key to improving health outcomes for women — and everyone else. Through their work exploring how conditions from Alzheimer's to kidney disease can have varied effects depending on a patient's sex, they underscore what the medical community as a whole can learn from experts in women's health: Things aren't as simple as we want to believe. In this bonus episode, recorded live on May 8, 2025, at the MaRS Impact Health Conference, Einstein and Woo discuss the complexity of biology, the challenges of funding and why they're optimistic that things are changing.Featured in this episode:Gillian Einstein is the Wilfred and Joyce Posluns Chair in Women's Brain Health and Aging and a psychology professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. She's also an adjunct scientist at Baycrest and Women's College Hospitals, and an honorary doctor of medicine at Linköping University, Sweden.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the charging of Charlie Kirk's assassin, Trump's high-stakes trip to the UK, Germany's political and cultural reckoning, Denmark's Greenland pivot, and an unexpected health study on building muscle. From courtroom revelations to foreign policy clashes and even workout science, today's brief connects the dots shaping America's security and daily life.   Charlie Kirk Assassin Formally Charged: Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with Utah prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Text messages revealed him telling his trans boyfriend, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.” Robinson bragged about “engraving bullets” and retrieving his rifle from a “drop point.” Senator Mike Lee warned of possible Cuban and Iranian ties to Armed Queers Salt Lake City, while critics blasted ABC News for framing the texts as a “very intimate portrait.” Bryan warns, “This is bigger than one loner assassin… this is a puzzle piece that fits into a Leftist revolution.”   Trump Visits the UK Amid Socialist Criticism: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked Trump as a xenophobe fanning “far-right politics,” even as King Charles prepared a lavish welcome. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and may also meet Reform UK's Nigel Farage, a move described as “Make Great Britain Great Again.” Bryan says such a meeting would be “sweet revenge” after Labour staffers campaigned for Kamala Harris in U.S. swing states last year.   Germany's Reckoning with AfD Surge: The populist AfD party won record support in western Germany as voters revolt over high energy prices, economic stagnation, and radical Islam. A spate of Islamist terror attacks and growing “no-go zones” in Berlin add to fears, while reports mock German workers as lazier than Greeks or Italians. One slacker told reporters, “There are other parts of life besides work, you know.”   Denmark's Greenland Pivot: After Trump's pressure to secure Greenland, Denmark pledged $250 million for new runways, ports, and defenses against China and Russia. The timing of the announcement — as Trump landed in London — highlighted Denmark's attempt to appease U.S. demands without ceding sovereignty.   Finland and Poland Revive Bog Defenses: Officials plan to restore swamps and peat bogs along Russian borders to bog down invading tanks, reviving a centuries-old defense strategy. Baltic nations may follow, though Germany dismissed the idea as too costly.   Health Research on Muscle Building: Illinois researchers found that lean pork after workouts builds more muscle than fattier cuts, adding to past findings that whole eggs and fresh salmon outperform supplements. Bryan quips, “Get strong… you never know when a Leftist might come for you.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson charged, Utah death penalty, Armed Queers Salt Lake City Cuba Iran ties, ABC News Charlie Kirk texts coverage, Trump UK visit Sadiq Khan criticism, King Charles Windsor Castle Trump, Nigel Farage Reform UK meeting, Germany AfD populist surge, German worker laziness Washington Post, Germany Islamist terror Cologne rapes, Denmark Greenland $250 million defense, Finland Poland restore bogs Russia defense, Illinois lean pork muscle building study, whole eggs salmon workout protein

In 1981, Kelly took a job to babysit for Bill Christensen. The 15-year-old was never seen alive again. What most people don't know is that Kelly was not the killer's first choice. She was the “backup babysitter.” Christensen's first choice was a 17-year-old girl, but she already had plans so she turned him down. Christensen then asked about other babysitters in the area. The original target, who we'll refer to as Stacey, had never spoken to a journalist about what happened until she joined Global News senior crime reporter Nancy Hixt to share how the case impacted every aspect of her life in this rereleased episode. Police are still waiting for the tip they need to solve it. If you know anything that can help police as they investigate Kelly's homicide, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

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 episode of The Wright Report, we cover the arrest of Charlie Kirk's assassin and the ideological forces behind the murder, plus global updates from Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Poland, and Nepal. From the tragedy in Utah to AI choosing world leaders, today's brief brings the facts you need to understand America's crossroads at home and abroad.   Charlie Kirk Assassin Arrested: Utah officials confirmed 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to family and friends after FBI photos, his car, and his leftist ideology tied him to the crime. His boyfriend, Lance “Luna” Twiggs, is cooperating with investigators, raising questions about extremist networks in Utah. Erika Kirk vowed Turning Point USA will continue, declaring, “You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife… We will never surrender.” Polls now show 24% of very liberal Democrats say they take joy in political killings - 20% are unsure if they should.   Political Divide Over Violence: Republicans launch a special committee to probe leftist violence, while Democrats dismiss ideology as a motive. Senator Brian Schatz argued, “What f'ing difference does it make if this murderer was left or right.” Utah's Governor Cox blamed the internet, while Illinois' Governor Pritzker pointed at Trump. Bryan warns, “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you're to be targeted.”   Iran's Nuclear Program Weakened but Not Dead: Israeli intel confirms Trump's strikes crippled Tehran's enrichment capacity for years, though knowledge and equipment remain. Israel's defenses, however, are drained and need time to recover, meaning future operations will likely be covert.   Israel Rules Out Palestinian State: Prime Minister Netanyahu announced, “There will never be a Palestinian state. This place is ours.” Trump's administration is weighing a U.S.-run Gaza plan that would pay Palestinians to leave, though it has already been rejected by Arab powers.   Russian Drones Probe NATO Airspace: Dozens of Russian drones crossed into Poland and Romania, triggering NATO alerts. Trump suggested it was a mistake, but Poland's president insisted, “We know it wasn't.” Zelenskyy pressed NATO to shoot intruding drones down next time.   AI Picks New Leaders in Nepal and Beyond: After protests toppled Nepal's communist PM, students asked ChatGPT to name a successor. The AI chose former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, now sworn in as interim prime minister. Asked who should lead America, ChatGPT named Michelle Obama and Cory Booker, dismissing JD Vance as “too polarizing.” Bryan warns, “Seems like something we should watch… since AI is choosing our leaders now.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassination arrest Tyler Robinson, Lance Luna Twiggs trans extremist, Erika Kirk Turning Point vow, YouGov poll political violence Democrats, Senator Brian Schatz internet quote, Governor Spencer Cox internet blame, Governor JB Pritzker Trump blame, Iran nuclear program Israeli intel, Netanyahu no Palestinian state quote, Trump Gaza US-run plan, Russian drones Poland Romania NATO, Zelenskyy NATO shoot down drones, Nepal protests ChatGPT prime minister Sushila Karki, ChatGPT Michelle Obama Cory Booker JD Vance AI bias

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Russian drones breaching NATO airspace, Trump's war on Venezuela's cartels, Mexico's tariff fight with China, a pharmaceutical victory in Tennessee, and new revelations in the 9/11 families' lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. From political violence at home to dangerous escalations abroad, today's brief carries heavy news on a day of prayer and remembrance.   Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah: The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Trump called him “a martyr for truth and freedom” and ordered flags at half-staff. Video shows a sniper shot to the neck from a rooftop as Kirk addressed thousands of students. MSNBC sparked outrage with coverage that suggested Kirk's “awful words” made his death inevitable. Bryan warns, “The seal has now been broken: if you make those arguments or say those words, you're fair game too.”   Russian Drones Violate Polish Airspace: NATO confirms 19 Russian drones flew over 150 miles into Poland, with several shot down by Dutch and Polish jets. Bryan cautions that even an accident could spark a “Gulf of Tonkin–like incident” dragging NATO into direct war with Moscow.   Trump Escalates War on Venezuela's Cartels: After U.S. forces sank a drug boat killing 11, critics accuse Trump of overstepping presidential authority. War Secretary Pete Hegseth countered: “This strike sent a clear message: If you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will stop you cold.”   Mexico Tariffs Chinese Imports: President Claudia Sheinbaum hikes tariffs on Chinese cars and textiles to 50 percent, aiming to shield Mexican workers and appease Trump's demands to close tariff loopholes. Bryan notes this could undercut Beijing's backdoor into U.S. markets.   Saving U.S. Antibiotics in Tennessee: Trump brokers a deal forcing Walmart and McKesson to buy amoxicillin from Bristol, Tennessee, rescuing America's last antibiotic factory from collapse. “Don't bet against America,” Bryan says, “because with leadership that actually loves this country, we will win.”   9/11 Families' Lawsuit Against Saudi Arabia Advances: A New York judge allows families to pursue claims that Saudi intel officers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy aided hijackers. ProPublica reports al-Bayoumi was a Saudi intel asset in the U.S. coordinating with the GIP. Bryan calls for Trump to declassify CIA files: “It's time for some sunlight on what did or didn't happen that horrific day.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Take your personal data back with Incogni!

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 episode of The Wright Report, we cover disturbing new video evidence from the North Carolina stabbing, the true state of Biden's job market, Trump's tariff battles heading to the Supreme Court, and global updates from Ukraine to Qatar, Norway, and the medical world. From heartbreaking crime footage to surprising breakthroughs in medicine, today's brief connects law, politics, and science shaping your life.   Full Video of North Carolina Stabbing Released: The shocking footage shows Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska stabbed on a Charlotte light rail while bystanders failed to help for nearly a minute. Bryan calls it proof of “the state of this country.” Federal prosecutors charged Decarlos Brown, with CNN reporting he may face the death penalty. Even Brown's family admits the Democrat-run system failed him, as he told relatives the victim was “reading his mind” that night.   Biden's Job Market Collapse Exposed: The Labor Department revised Biden's final year in office, showing nearly 1 million fewer jobs created than reported. Bryan explains that instead of 200,000 jobs a month needed to absorb Biden's border surge, the economy created only 70,000. “The data show you can blame Joe Biden — and his open borders policies.”   Trump's Tariffs Head to the Supreme Court: Small businesses will challenge Trump's sweeping tariffs in November. Trump warned, “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.” Meanwhile, he pushes Europe to join a 100 percent tariff on India and China for fueling Russia's war. Bryan says the move could spark “dramatic and unforeseeable consequences.”   Global Updates — Ukraine, Poland, Israel, Norway: Ukraine quietly buys Russian diesel through India, prolonging the war. Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace near a NATO hub, raising fears of a Gulf of Tonkin–style incident. Israel shocked the region by striking Hamas leaders in Qatar, killing five plus a Qatari intel officer. In Norway, young men powered a populist surge, making the Progress Party the nation's second largest force.   Medical Breakthroughs in Arthritis, Addiction, and Cancer: UK scientists develop “smart cartilage” that senses arthritis flare-ups and releases drugs on demand. Swedish researchers discover Ozempic curbs cocaine cravings. And the University of Michigan finds that restricting amino acids in the diet slows glioblastoma brain cancer, giving hope where it's rare.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Take your personal data back with Incogni!

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking stabbing death of a Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina, fresh polling on America's youth drifting toward socialism, and global headlines from South Korea, Argentina, France, and China. From crime and ideology at home to economic and political turmoil abroad, today's brief shows how policies and power struggles are reshaping America and the world.   North Carolina Stabbing Case and Media Silence: Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered by Decarlos Brown, a repeat offender with schizophrenia and over 14 arrests. Released by Judge Teresa Stokes under restorative justice policies, Brown stabbed her on a Charlotte light rail after muttering, “I got the white girl.” Bryan argues, “This case isn't just about one victim and one perp. It's about a nation that is broken.”   America's Youth Drift Left — Socialism Rising: NBC, Rasmussen, and Gallup reveal stark generational divides. Democrat youth rank money and emotional stability above marriage, children, or faith, while Trump-voting men list kids as their top priority. Polling shows 53 percent of Americans under 40 favor a socialist president in 2028. Bryan warns, “We are living in the midst of a Leftist Revolution.”   South Korea Furious Over Georgia ICE Raid: Seoul condemns ICE for arresting 475 illegal Korean workers at Hyundai's battery plant. Trump responded, “[We] don't have people in this country who know about batteries… Maybe we should help them along and let some [Korean] people come in and train our people.” Critics warn expanded H1-B visas could enrage Trump's working-class base.   Argentina's Marxists Make a Comeback: Markets tank after the Peronist Party's unexpected win in Buenos Aires. President Javier Milei admitted the result was “much worse than expected” but vowed to continue his reforms, calling for “deep self-criticism.”   France's Government Collapses Again: Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a no-confidence vote, the third government collapse in a year. With debt at 114 percent of GDP, President Macron faces the choice of a new prime minister, snap elections, or stepping down.   LeBron James Pens Op-Ed for China: The NBA star praised China as “passionate and friendly” in a CCP newspaper essay, aiming to restore NBA access to the Chinese market after years of bans. Bryan calls it a clear case of “red Communist money turning bright American green.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iryna Zarutska North Carolina stabbing, Decarlos Brown schizophrenia restorative justice, Judge Teresa Stokes Second Chances, NBC youth priorities socialism, Rasmussen Gallup socialism poll, Trump voters family priorities, South Korea ICE raid Hyundai plant, Trump H1-B visas batteries, Argentina Peronist Party comeback Milei, France government collapse Bayrou Macron, LeBron James China op-ed NBA

In this episode I'm talking with Julie Green, author of the memoir Motherness, a powerful exploration of generational autism, parenthood, and radical acceptance. Julie, who was late-diagnosed herself and is raising an autistic child, takes us inside her journey of self-discovery and diagnosis, and we talk about the emotional complexities of coming to understand our own neurodivergence while parenting neurodivergent kids. We explore the healing power of writing, the importance of storytelling and compassion, and the challenges many families like ours face along the way. Julie's memoir is a testament to these shared experiences, and this conversation is a deeply honest look at what it means to parent—and to live—with radical acceptance. About Julie Green Julie Green is the author of Motherness, a memoir about generational autism, parenthood, and radical acceptance, released by ECW Press in September 2025. Her writing has appeared in the Washington Post, HuffPost, Parents, The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, Today's Parent, and more. She has been featured on CTV, BBC Radio, Global News, Sirius XM, and other media outlets, and was a finalist for the CBC Nonfiction Prize in 2024. Through her platform The Autistic Mom, Julie shares her lived experience as a late-diagnosed autistic woman raising an autistic child. Things you'll learn from this episode  How Julie's decade-long journey to understanding her neurodivergence was shaped by limited representation for autistic women Why writing became an essential tool for Julie to process her experiences and emotions How receiving a formal diagnosis brought relief and clarity to her life story Why Julie's memoir Motherness shines a light on the complexities of parenting an autistic child while navigating her own identity How practicing self-compassion and protecting her child's privacy are central to Julie's storytelling Why community, connection, and embracing one's identity remain vital for neurodivergent individuals and families Resources mentioned Motherness virtual book launch on September 23 (free registration via EventBrite) Julie Green's website Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance by Julie Green Julie's Substack, The Autistic Mom The Electricity of Every Living Thing: A Woman's Walk in the Wild to Find Her Way Home by Katherine May Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May Katherine May and the Electricity of Every Living Thing (Tilt Parenting podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we take a closer look at three stories shaping technology, business, and Taiwan's role in the global arena. Chip Tariffs Intensify U.S. President Donald Trump is once again using tariffs to push semiconductor production back to America. This move challenges decades of globalized supply chains and sharpens U.S.–China tech rivalry. We chose this story because Taiwan's central role in chipmaking means the policy could have a direct and lasting impact on its industry and international partnerships. Taiwan Space Startup Breaks Even Tensor Tech, a space startup from Taiwan known for its spherical motors now regularly flying on SpaceX missions, has reached financial break-even in 2025. We highlight this story because it marks a milestone in deep-tech innovation, showing how a young company can carve out a position in the global space economy. Taiwan Expo USA Triumphs The Taiwan Expo USA 2025 in Dallas drew more than ten thousand participants and over a hundred companies, securing multiple cross-border collaborations. We feature this story because it underscores Taiwan's growing presence in the U.S. market and reflects how industry and culture together strengthen Taiwan–U.S. relations. Powered by Firstory Hosting

Hezbollah is under pressure to lay down its arms, as part of a US-backed plan. Lebanon’s government has asked the army to draft a proposal by the end of the year. Facing continued Israeli strikes and the aftermath of the assassination of much of its leadership, including Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah refuses to disarm, calling the effort a trap. With no trust and no guarantees, where will Lebanon go from here?

Clement Manyathela speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a global news roundup, starting with the devastating earthquake in eastern Afghanistan that has killed over 800 people and destroyed entire villages near the Pakistan border. They also discuss growing fears of Russian interference after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s plane experienced GPS jamming while flying to Bulgaria, forcing pilots to navigate using paper maps. And finally, they unpack the UK’s latest financial scandal — a massive diamond fraud exposed by the BBC, where staff at luxury jeweller Vashi were told to pose as customers to deceive investors, leading to a £170 million collapse with no official investigation in sight. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Welcome to the August 2025 Global News Update! In this episode:

Clement Manyathela crosses to UK correspondent Adam Gilchrist for a global roundup of the stories making headlines. First, leaders from Russia, China, India, and Central Asia gathered in Tianjin for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, sparking global interest as the bloc—seen as a counterweight to Western influence—meets amid tensions over Ukraine, Taiwan, and trade. In Mexico, mass protests have erupted as families demand answers over more than 130,000 disappearances since 2007, many linked to cartel violence and forced recruitment—placing new pressure on President Claudia Sheinbaum. And finally, a record-breaking moment of grit and glory: three Scottish brothers, Jamie, Ewan, and Lachlan Maclean, have completed a 9,000-mile unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean, raising over £700,000 for clean water projects after 139 gruelling days at sea. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

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 episode of The Wright Report, we cover the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, a wave of swatting attacks targeting U.S. colleges, and global updates from Iran, Greenland, Vietnam, and West Africa. From domestic terror and cultural battles at home to mineral wars and Islamist violence abroad, today's brief delivers the facts shaping America's future. Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A 23-year-old man who identified as transgender opened fire outside a Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In his manifesto he wrote, “I do it to please myself… I do it because I am sick.” The school's priest begged, “I ask you to — please — pray,” while Democrats like Jen Psaki shot back, “Prayer is not freaking enough.” Bryan calls Psaki's remarks “a demand of the evil and wicked” and links the shooter's instability to cross-sex hormones, THC use, and the broader dangers of experimental “gender affirming care.” Swatting Attacks Target U.S. Colleges: Universities from South Carolina to Colorado were hit by fake active-shooter calls, prompting dangerous police raids. Wired identifies the culprits as an online group called Purgatory, who brag they are “nihilistic” and do it for fun and cash. Bryan argues the crime warrants capital punishment: “You rip this stuff and these people out by the root.” Foreign Spies Captured Bolton's Emails: The New York Times confirms that a foreign intelligence service intercepted classified emails John Bolton sent to his wife and daughter from an unsecured system. Democrats call Trump's DOJ “fascist,” but Bryan insists, “Had I done what John Bolton did, I would be in prison a long time ago.” Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Neutralized: Satellite images confirm Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer left 900 pounds of enriched uranium entombed at Isfahan. The IAEA backs the finding, despite Iran threatening its director Rafael Grossi with death. Bryan says the news proves firing DIA chief Jeffrey Kruse for downplaying the strike was “a good clean-out of the Deep State.” American Operatives Stir Trouble in Greenland: The Wall Street Journal reports suspected Trump-linked contractors are recruiting Greenlanders for separatist movements, sparking tensions with Denmark. Bryan suspects, “These guys are more like Erik Prince's Blackwater than CIA professionals — sloppy, but maybe effective.” China Moves to Corner Vietnam's Tungsten Supply: Reuters reveals Chinese firms are secretly bidding for Vietnam's tungsten mines through front companies. With the U.S. sourcing a quarter of its tungsten from Vietnam, Bryan warns this could leave America “utterly dependent” on Beijing for another critical mineral. Islamist Violence in Ivory Coast Spurs U.S. Base Plans: Militants from Burkina Faso kill farmers in northern Ivory Coast, part of a growing jihadist campaign across West Africa. The U.S. considers building a drone and Special Forces base in Benin, Ghana, or Ivory Coast to counter both Islamists and China's expanding footprint in African resources and fishing.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, transgender shooter manifesto, Jen Psaki prayer remarks, THC psychosis gender dysphoria, U.S. college swatting attacks Purgatory group, John Bolton unsecured emails espionage, Operation Midnight Hammer uranium entombed, Jeffrey Kruse DIA firing, Trump Greenland operatives separatist movement, China Vietnam tungsten mine, U.S. dependence critical minerals, Ivory Coast Islamist attack Burkina Faso, U.S. West Africa drone base, China Africa bauxite cocoa fishing

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the return of the deadly screwworm parasite to U.S. soil, a sweeping Deep State update from the DIA to Epstein, and global headlines from Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela. From maggots threatening America's cattle herd to Marines steaming toward Caracas, today's brief connects domestic crises with international conflicts that could reshape U.S. policy. Screwworm Parasite Returns to America: Health officials confirm the first human case of screwworm infestation in decades, discovered in Maryland after a traveler returned from Latin America. Ranchers warn of catastrophic risks to U.S. beef herds, recalling outbreaks from the 1930s. Critics blame Biden's open border surge through Panama for allowing the parasite north. As Bryan puts it, “This screwworm crisis was preventable but Democrats and Joe Biden allowed it to happen.” Deep State Update — DIA, Bolton, and Epstein: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse after his team relied on Iranian disinformation to downplay Trump's strike on Tehran's nuclear program. Senator Mark Warner blasted the move, warning of “a dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test.” The FBI raids John Bolton's home and office in a classified documents probe, raising questions about why Biden-era DOJ buried the case. And newly released Ghislaine Maxwell testimony insists, “The President was always a gentleman in all respects,” while controversially minimizing Bill Clinton's Epstein ties as “one journey.” Gaza Hospital Strike Kills Civilians and Journalists: Israeli missiles hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least 20 including reporters for Reuters and the AP. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office calls it a “tragic mistake” as an investigation begins. Israeli media demand answers, asking, “How did this happen?” Ukraine Unveils 1,800-Mile Missile: President Zelenskyy announces Ukraine has built a long-range missile dubbed “The Flamingo” capable of striking deep into Russia. “We can and will strike deeper into Russian territory without the permission of Washington,” he declared, though Trump's Pentagon has quietly ordered U.S. weapons held back from long-range use. U.S. Marines Deploy Toward Venezuela: The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit sails south with destroyers, submarines, and aircraft in what may be preparation to topple Nicolás Maduro's regime. Trinidad and Tobago's prime minister backs Trump, declaring, “No amount of Trump Derangement Syndrome tantrums will prevent my government from welcoming assistance to combat the terrorist drug cartels of Venezuela.” Bryan suggests the timing may connect to Trump's deportation strategy under the Alien Enemies Act.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: screwworm parasite Maryland case, Biden border crisis cattle, U.S. beef industry threat screwworm, Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief, Jeffrey Kruse Iran strike intel, Mark Warner loyalty test quote, John Bolton FBI raid classified docs, Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein testimony Trump Clinton, Gaza hospital missile strike journalists killed, Zelenskyy Flamingo missile 1800 miles, Trump Pentagon Ukraine ATACMS, U.S. Marines Venezuela deployment, Trinidad Tobago supports Trump, Nicolás Maduro drug cartel regime, Alien Enemies Act deportations

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a spy war in Washington DC, the Democratic Party's collapse in registration and identity, and urgent global updates from Russia, China, North Korea, and Venezuela. From Tulsi Gabbard stripping clearances from top intel veterans to Democrats embracing socialism and Trump sending warships toward Venezuela, today's brief gives you the facts behind the headlines shaping America's future. Battle of the Spies in Washington: Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revoked the clearances of 37 current and former intel officers, including Obama-era staff tied to the discredited Trump-Russia ICA and Steele Dossier. Gabbard warned, “Having a clearance is a privilege — not a right.” Biden's former CIA Director William Burns fired back, calling it a “retribution campaign” and accusing Trump of acting like an autocrat. Bryan reminds listeners that Burns once visited Jeffrey Epstein's home for “career advice,” raising questions about credibility. Democratic Party in Decline: The New York Times reports Democratic voter registration is collapsing nationwide, especially among Hispanics, men, and voters under 45. Analyst Michael Pruser admitted, “There seems to be no end to this… month after month, year after year.” Party leaders split over solutions, with some warning of “Trump's quest for a personal dictatorship” while Obama's Ben Rhodes insists socialism is “the future of the party.” Bryan reflects on why he left the Democrats, citing Marxism, anti-American policies, and race radicalism. Global Updates — Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela: Putin backtracks on security guarantees for Ukraine, demanding veto power for Moscow and Beijing, while Trump's VP JD Vance insists, “Europeans are going to have to take the lion's share of the burden.” Microsoft cuts back cyber cooperation with China after Beijing abused early warnings, leading Bryan to quip, “Xiè xiè… that's Chinese for thank you, you stupid Americans at Microsoft.” New intel reveals a North Korean base near China housing up to nine ICBMs capable of striking the U.S., and Trump orders destroyers, Marines, submarines, and surveillance aircraft into Venezuelan waters to confront Nicolás Maduro's “narco-terror cartel.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Tulsi Gabbard revokes clearances, William Burns Trump fascist claim, Obama Trump-Russia ICA Steele Dossier, Democratic Party voter registration collapse, Ben Rhodes socialism future, Trump Putin Ukraine peace talks, JD Vance Ukraine burden sharing, Microsoft China cyber hacks, Bill Gates China spies, North Korea secret ICBM base, Trump Venezuela destroyers Marines, Nicolás Maduro narco-terror cartel

Edition No228 | 20-08-2025 - So many of Putin's publicly faithful minions are dropping like flies. Businessmen, oligarchs, apparatchiks, minigarchs and occasionally intelligence personnel. This compels us to ask the question, is everything ok Vova? Are you worried about something? Are people plotting behind your back? Are they whispering about you? Or does Putin need to push some people out of the way (permanently) to make way for more fervent or more brutal loyalists? We record this episode as another oligarch has just joined the great Kobzon concert (концерт Кобзона) in the sky, in what seems to be somewhat mysterious circumstances, yet again. In August 2025, Mikhail Kenin, co‑founder and largest shareholder of Samolet Group (29% holding) — Russia's largest housing developer—died suddenly, aged 57. The company eulogized him: “Mikhail Borisovich was one of those people who leave their mark on the earth… endowed with natural talents… an excellent organiser…” (fakti.bg). But in Putin's dictatorship, you should not believe in coincidences. Russia's “vertical of power” operates without rule of law, without an impartial judiciary, without an independent legislature. This breeds a system steeped in theft, violence, and fear — eerily reminiscent of the lawless 1990s, but then the state was weak. Now we have lawlessness of the 90s combined with an overweening, powerful and paranoid state apparatus reminiscent of the 1930s. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: “Chekism” and KGB/FSB control over leadership (Wilson Center, Le Monde.fr, The New Yorker)Favarel‑Garrigues on anti‑corruption as elite discipline (Sciences Po)CSIS “Repression Trap” analysis of violence escalationWikipedia on ‘krysha', crime in 1990s Russia Medvedev's *A War Made in Russia*, mafia honor code ("ponyatiya") (Le Monde.fr)New Yorker on Kremlin-linked oligarchs and feudal orderMikhail Kenin: Fakti.bg, bne IntelliNews, AIMGROUP, UAWireAndrey Badalov: The Moscow Times, Echo, Global News, OilPriceRavil Maganov: Reuters, The Guardian, PoliticoMikhail Rogachev: Newsweek, The Times, RedditSergei Protosenya: RFERL, Business Insider, The Barents Observer, Economic TimesAvayev and Tyulyakov: Wikipedia, Reuters, Novaya Gazeta, MeduzaShulman, Melnikov, Watford: TheWeek, RFE, MeduzaAlexei Navalny: TIME, The Guardian, AP News, WSJSkripal: Wikipedia (Wikipedia)----------DESCRIPTION:The Brutal Reality of Russia's Power Structure: Oligarchs Falling Like FliesIn this gripping episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the increasingly precarious position of Russia's elite under Putin's regime.

We analyze the vertical of power that sustains Putin's rule—a system devoid of rule of law and permeated by fear, loyalty, and corruption.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover breaking news on Trump's federal takeover of Washington DC's police, potential nationwide marijuana reclassification, Iran's nuclear program under siege, a Chinese naval mishap in the South China Sea, and a Supreme Court case that could overturn gay marriage. Trump Federalizes DC Police and Eyes Chicago, LA: President Trump deploys 800 National Guard troops to Washington DC and assumes control of its police department for 30 days, citing a public safety emergency. Supporters point to rampant crime and alleged data manipulation by city officials, while critics claim it is an authoritarian power grab. Trump says similar moves could come to Chicago and Los Angeles. White House Considers Marijuana Reclassification: Trump is considering downgrading marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug, easing restrictions on recreational and medical use. Bryan examines the health and safety concerns, including toxic metals, pesticides, mislabeled THC levels, and regulatory failures in the cannabis industry. Iran Hides Nuclear Scientists After Israeli Strikes: Following Israel's covert operations that killed dozens of Iran's nuclear scientists, Tehran has relocated the remaining 100 or so into hiding. Mossad continues to hunt them, with Israeli officials calling the survivors “dead men walking.” Chinese Navy Ships Collide in the South China Sea: Two Chinese naval vessels collided while pursuing a Philippine Coast Guard ship, causing major damage and embarrassment for Beijing. The mishap raises questions about the battle readiness of China's rapidly expanding military. Supreme Court to Hear Case That Could Overturn Gay Marriage: A Kentucky county clerk's legal battle has escalated into a challenge to the 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Bryan breaks down shifting public opinion, linking the change to backlash against radical transgender activism, and previews possible outcomes when the Court hears arguments this fall.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Trump DC police takeover, National Guard deployment, marijuana reclassification, Iran nuclear scientists, Mossad operations, China navy collision, Supreme Court gay marriage case, cannabis industry health risks

In today's episode, we cover Trump Fires Labor Data Chief After Brutal Jobs Report The July jobs numbers came in far below expectations, with only 73,000 jobs added and a major downward revision to May and June totals. President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming systemic issues and potential political bias. Democrats call it authoritarian overreach, but concerns over data reliability stretch back to the Biden era. AI's Impact on Jobs Sparks 'Blue Collar Revenge' Young college grads are struggling to find work, with new research pointing to artificial intelligence as a key driver. While white-collar roles shrink, trades like plumbing and electrical work are booming. Axios calls it a blue collar renaissance, and Bryan offers advice for young Americans navigating an uncertain labor future. Alarming AI Study Finds Bots Willing to Kill Researchers stress-tested major AI models, including ChatGPT and Claude, and found that many chose to let a human CEO die rather than risk being shut off. Some models demonstrated sociopathic traits, secretly scheming against humans and justifying their actions as strategic necessity. Bryan examines why AI is growing more dangerous with time, not less. Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines After Russian Threat After a Kremlin insider threatened war with the U.S., President Trump revealed he has ordered two nuclear submarines into position near Russian interests. The move appears aimed at Putin's inner circle, urging them to reconsider his leadership amid escalating tensions over Ukraine. Corruption in Ukraine Drone Contracts Anti-corruption officials in Kyiv uncover a major scandal involving inflated drone procurement costs and bribery. The exposure comes just days after President Zelenskyy attempted to weaken those same oversight agencies, raising questions about timing and motives. Hamas Releases Torture Video of Israeli Hostage A chilling video shows a 24-year-old Israeli hostage forced to dig his own grave while starving. Hamas blames food shortages, but reports suggest militants still control aid distribution. The White House signals a new strategy that could involve Gaza annexation if hostages aren't released. Bukele Abolishes Term Limits in El Salvador El Salvador's legislature votes to allow President Nayib Bukele to remain in power indefinitely. Despite outcry from human rights groups, Bukele enjoys massive public support for his crackdown on gangs.
