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 special Friday edition of The Wright Report, we cover the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, FCC pressure, and whether America has entered a new era of censorship and government tyranny. From late-night lies to free speech double standards, today's brief asks whether we are witnessing a dangerous new chapter — or simply the continuation of a fight that began years ago.   Jimmy Kimmel Controversy: Kimmel refused to apologize after falsely claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin was a MAGA supporter. ABC pulled him off the air, citing legal obligations under FCC rules against “news distortion.”   Democrats Cry Censorship: Chuck Schumer compared Trump's FCC pressure to Xi and Putin, Barack Obama called it “a dangerous level,” and Jen Psaki declared it tyranny. Yet all three have histories of supporting government intimidation of conservatives.   Media and GOP Reactions: CNN's Brian Stelter warned America is now “less free,” though he once justified cracking down on conservatives. Republicans like Guy Benson urged caution, warning the precedent could backfire. The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued deregulation of TV oversight is the only long-term fix.   Bryan's Analysis: “We don't live in a functional society anymore. We live in a revolutionary state… either one side wins or the other does. The Left isn't tired of fighting. They want war. Their words, not mine.” Bryan calls for peaceful victories in politics and law — but warns more Charlie Kirks may fall before the nation finds peace.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC suspension, Charlie Kirk assassin MAGA claim, ABC news distortion rule, Chuck Schumer censorship Xi Putin, Barack Obama free speech hypocrisy, Jen Psaki Biden COVID censorship, Brian Stelter freedom of reach, Guy Benson FCC caution, Wall Street Journal deregulation media oversight, Bryan Dean Wright censorship analysis

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a joint press conference from the United Kingdom. Trump reacted to the U.K.'s decision to recognize a Palestinian state: "We have to remember October 7th—one of the worst, most violent days in the history of the world...I want an end. I want the hostages released...I have a disagreement with the Prime Minister on that score—one of our few disagreements, actually." 6:20pm- Earlier this week, FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the House Judiciary Committee where he answered questions about the Epstein files and operation “Artic Frost” —which, under the Biden Administration, targeted conservative leaning organizations like Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. 6:30pm- Tom Elliot's latest montage reminds us that Democrats are the party of censorship.

Rich points out that Democrats will now undoubtedly go after conservative programming whenever they regain power. Republicans should be protecting speech, not actively seeking censorship. 6:50pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, executives at Sinclair and Nexstar—which own more than 60 local ABC stations—decided to no longer air Jimmy Kimmel's show, leading ABC/Disney to cancel the program. The executives say they had no communication with the FCC prior to their decision.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker reacts to breaking news that Disney's ABC television network has capitulated to strong-arming by the Trump administration to remove Jimmy Kimmel from the air, and encourages Americans to not only push back on Disney, but to remain steadfast in standing up to Donald Trump's intimidation tactics.

Kennedy Jr. Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC's former chief medical officer, who also testified at today's hearing, joins to discuss the lack of scientific rigor and transparency from Trump's new health officials.

It's Tuesday, September 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pakistani Muslim kidnapped 16-year-old Christian girl Pakistan is in the persecution news again. This time for a 16-year-old Christian girl kidnapped and forced into sex slavery by a Muslim in the Punjab district. She was rescued by court order on August 14th.

Pakistan is the seventh worst nation in the world on The Worldview's International Morality Index, and the eighth worst on Open Doors' World Watch List.

Russia's Putin called the alliance the beginnings of a “new system” of security in Eurasia.  The Shanghai Cooperation Organization consists of the communist, Hindu, and Islamic states of Russia, Belarus, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Chinese Navy boasts more warships than America The BBC reports that the Chinese Navy has exceeded America's Navy in number of warships -- 234 to 219. However, the Chinese are still behind the United States in overall tonnage and aircraft carriers.  Importantly, the Chinese shipyards have upwards of 200 times the ship-building capacity of America at this point. Brazilian socialists want to lock up Jair Bolsonaro Socialist elements in the Brazilian government are looking at locking up the nation's previous president Jair Bolsonaro for 30 years. Bolsonaro is accused of staging a coup after disagreeing with the election results in January of 2023.   The Associated Press reports that the evidence includes “an unsigned document that sought to invalidate the election and his alleged push for supporters to destroy government buildings in Brasilia on January 8, 2023.”  Low Scottish birth rate Scotland's birth rate is the lowest on record — hitting 1.23 children per woman. The nation's abortion rate is 17.9 per 1,000 women. Out of 50 countries, that's the fifth lowest birth rate in Europe. Only Malta, Spain, Lithuania, and Italy have lower birth rates.  Deuteronomy 7:12 and 14a makes a promise to a nation. “Because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them. …You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.” Not so much for Scotland. Vice President JD Vance defends prayer U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance defended prayer as a proper response to the recent massacre at the Minneapolis, Minnesota Catholic School. His X post explained that, “We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.” Vance was responding to Jen Psaki, Joe Biden's previous press secretary, who skeptically asserted that “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does [sic] not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back.” In addition to Vice President Vance, CNN's conservative commentator Scott Jennings defended prayer as well. Listen. JENNINGS: “I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith. I think ‘thoughts and prayers' are the most solid on days of tragedy for people who live their faith every day. And I think on a day like today, particularly in a church community, there are probably people praying harder for comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life. “And I heard others on the Left today go down this line of attack against people of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might want to pray today.” Proverbs 28:9 reminds us that “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” And Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Chip and Joanna Gaines roll out “LGBTQ roller skating show” The reality show pop-star couple and known-to- be professing Christians, Chip Gaines and his wife, Joanna, are under fire again. This time, they are producing a program on their Magnolia Network featuring what has been termed “an LGBTQ+ roller skating reality show” called “Roller Jam.” Joanna Gaines called it “a show the whole family can watch together,” according to Protestia and FaithWire.  Office mortgages hit record 11.7% delinquency rate In economic news, delinquency rates on office mortgages in the United States have hit a record 11.7%, exceeding the last record set during the 2008 recession. That delinquency rate was only 1.6% just two years ago. Silver and gold keep climbing According to TradingView.com, silver surged to $40.76 per ounce and gold hit $3,475 per ounce on Monday — record highs for the metals. Married mothers happier than childless single women And finally, no surprise here. The Institute for Family Studies surveyed 3,000 women and found that married mothers were more likely to enjoy life.   The report documented that 47% of married mothers say their lives are enjoyable most or all the time, compared to 34% of unmarried, childless women who say the same thing. Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Ian Bassin, co-founder and executive director of Protect Democracy, and former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg, talk with Jen Psaki about a federal appeals court finding that Donald Trump's tariffs are illegal, and other legal problems the administration is having with overreach, like Jeanine Pirro humiliating herself with her failure to match an indictment to her tough talk on the sandwich-throwing activist.Donald Trump has made clear his intention to dismantle FEMA and shift responsibility for disaster preparedness and response to states. As he makes progress toward that goal, FEMA staffers are raising the alarm that the plan is flawed and the U.S. is not ready to meet the demands of a major disaster. James Stroud, a FEMA statistician, joined his colleagues in signing a letter to Congress, alerting them to urgency of the situation, and was subsequently suspended by petty Trump for speaking out.The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine cite responses from ChatGPT among the reasons for his suicide after they discovered messages from the A.I. bot offering advice instead of triggering alerts that are meant to discourage these kinds of ideas. Jay Edelson, attorney for the Raine family, talks with Jen Psaki about the responsibility they believe OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, has for their son's death.Congressional Democrats and some Republican allies are already planning press events and subpoenas to put the Jeffrey Epstein case back into the spotlight when Congress returns from summer recess. Rep. Jared Moskowitz discusses with Jen Psaki.

They begin with the Minnesota mass shooting, examining the familiar “thoughts and prayers” narrative and how political leaders like Jacob Frey, Jen Psaki, and JD Vance framed the conversation. From there, the hosts turn to the shakeup at the CDC, where the removal of its director and the installation of a biotech investor with ties to Peter Thiel signals the increasing replacement of experts with ideologues. They also trace the troubling reemergence of eugenics in public discourse, especially in rhetoric from figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The conversation then shifts to higher education and the military, highlighting the purge of civilian faculty at West Point and the broader attack on the humanities as part of a push toward compliance over critical thought. Despite the grim topics, Brad and Dan close with reflections on resilience, community, and reasons to hold on to hope.

01:02:09 – Shooter's Demonic Diary The Minneapolis church shooter's writings reveal regret over being trans, self-brainwashing, and violent fantasies. Media figures like Jake Tapper tie themselves in knots over pronouns while ignoring the manifesto's satanic themes. 01:10:15 – Stephen King Defends Trans Shooter King dismisses transgender ideology as a factor, blaming guns instead. Hosts argue the real problem is cultural rot, demonic influence, and a clear pattern of trans-linked shootings disproportionately targeting Christians. 01:16:07 – Psaki Mocks Prayer After Massacre Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki derides “thoughts and prayers” after Christian children are gunned down, sparking backlash. The commentary argues school shootings increased precisely because prayer was removed from schools. 01:27:29 – SSRIs and Mass Killings RFK Jr. calls for a probe into antidepressants.

Framed as part of the “great replacement” and systemic government negligence. 02:01:50 – Red Flags vs. Black Labels Commentary slams gun control hypocrisy, arguing the real threat isn't lawful gun owners but SSRI drugs causing homicidal ideation. Instead of “red flag” laws, America needs warning “black labels” on dangerous pharmaceuticals. 02:13:00 – Foreign Trucking Crisis An Indian driver, drunk and barreling the wrong way across Memphis in an 18-wheeler, highlights a growing crisis: poorly vetted foreign truckers with California licenses endangering Americans nationwide.

Wade. Marriage redefinition is framed as a state power grab that undermines children's rights to their biological parents. 03:16:38 – GOP Support for Gay Marriage Collapses Republican support for same-sex marriage drops sharply since 2021.

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned in protest from his position as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, talks with Jen Psaki about the valuable work being done by the people at the CDC, and how the Trump administration, through HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is corrupting the CDC with unscientific attitudes and agendas.Jen's Version: Jen Psaki answers questions posed in today's White House press briefing, without the Trump administration's spin, and doubles down on her criticism of the Trump White House for taking no action to prevent gun violence and instead wasting time on "bad faith back-and-forth."Plus, Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner on Donald Trump's use of the military as domestic police, and Graham Platner on challenging Susan Collins for Maine's Senate seat.

Summary of Events The shooter, identified as Robin Westman (born Robert Westman, 23 years old), carried out an attack at a Catholic church and school during mass. Weapons used: pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Casualties reported: 2 children (ages 8 and 10) killed, 17 others injured (14 children and 3 adults). The shooter allegedly took their own life inside the church. The FBI labeled the case as a hate crime and domestic terrorism targeting Catholics, though local police had not fully confirmed the motive. Shooter Background Legally changed name from Robert to Robin at age 17. Described as transgender by commentators in the text. Left behind videos, writings, and a manifesto with disturbing content: Admiration for previous mass shooters. Anti-Catholic, anti-Trump, and anti-Israel messages written on firearms and magazines (e.g., “Kill Donald Trump,” “Israel must fall”). Obsession with school shootings and extremist rhetoric. Mother previously worked at the same school; shooter graduated from it in 2017. Political & Media Reactions Trump administration officials and FBI leadership framed the shooting as an act of religiously motivated hate. Commentary in the document accuses Democrats and liberal media of downplaying the hate-crime angle and focusing instead on gun control. References to Amy Klobuchar, Jen Psaki, and the Minneapolis mayor, criticizing their calls for tighter gun laws and for allegedly ignoring the ideological/mental health aspects. The mayor’s emotional remarks about gun violence and children’s safety are quoted, but framed as anti-gun rhetoric. The commentary repeatedly emphasizes a pattern of transgender shooters and accuses mainstream media of suppressing that detail. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

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
