Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In today’s episode, we cover
Durham Annex Confirms Trump-Russia Hoax Origins Newly declassified findings show Hillary Clinton’s campaign fabricated the Trump-Russia collusion narrative to distract from her own email scandal. The FBI launched its Crossfire Hurricane investigation without evidence, with questions mounting over Obama-era intelligence officials’ involvement.
Clapper Threatened Whistleblower, New Letter Reveals A whistleblower says he was pressured by James Clapper’s team to endorse a false intelligence assessment. When he refused, his promotion was threatened. Senate Democrats reportedly ignored his warning. The mainstream press remains silent as Pulitzer Prize-winning outlets avoid revisiting the debunked narrative.
Jobs Report and Trump’s Federal Workforce Cuts The July jobs number arrives today with major implications for interest rate policy. Meanwhile, 154,000 federal workers have taken Trump’s buyout offer. ICE and DHS are ramping up hiring, while the administration pushes toward leaner government staffing.
Tariff Deadlines, Trade Deals, and Whirlpool’s Comeback Trump’s tariffs defuse a looming war between Thailand and Cambodia. New trade deals are signed and global rates reset to a baseline of 10 to 15 percent. Whirlpool celebrates the policy shift, but legal challenges could bring tariff chaos this winter unless Congress steps in.
Nvidia Chips for Rare Earths Sparks Backlash Trump authorizes a controversial swap allowing China to buy U.S. AI chips in exchange for critical minerals. Lawmakers are outraged, warning the deal risks U.S. technological leadership. Meanwhile, the White House scrambles to rebuild a domestic supply chain for rare earth magnets.
U.S. Missile Shortage and War Readiness During the Israel-Iran conflict, the U.S. used 25 percent of its THAAD interceptor stockpile. New funding will boost production, but critical components still rely on Chinese supply chains. Analysts warn of vulnerabilities if conflict with China erupts.
Biden-Era Migrant Flow Through Panama Stops Cold The Darien Gap, once a highway for 80,000 monthly migrants under Biden, now sees just 10. The collapse of the route confirms the migrant crisis was always a policy choice.
Arab League Calls for Hamas to Disarm In a rare move, Arab states and Turkey publicly demand Hamas step down and hand over weapons to the Palestinian Authority. While Israel and Trump cautiously welcome the news, aid delivery failures and propaganda missteps complicate hopes for peace.
Iran’s Cultural Pivot from Islam to Ancient Persia Facing declining popularity, Iran’s regime embraces its pre-Islamic Persian heritage. Analysts say the shift is meant to unify the country with cultural pride amid internal discontent and war fatigue.
U.S. Opens Visa-Free Travel for Argentina Trump gifts President Milei a visa-free travel program, but critics warn it may increase transnational crime. Lawmakers call for stricter travel vetting and question the expansion of Obama-era ESTA policies.
AI’s Disruption Hits Rural Colombian Schools Students in a small town near Bogotá are using Meta’s AI tool to fake homework, failing tests as a result. Teachers crack down with new policies. Bryan reflects on AI’s impact on youth, work, and future voting behavior, urging thoughtful policy before Big Tech decides for us.
