Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday's Headline Brief on The Wright Report—heavy on news, light on analysis—delivering the stories shaping America and the world.

History in Rome and Chicago: America's Pope – Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost is elected Pope Leo XIV. A naturalized Peruvian citizen and former leader of the Order of St. Augustine, the new pope signals a focus on labor rights, climate change, and migration, while opposing "gender ideology" and same-sex adoption.

India and Pakistan Edge Closer to War – After a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, drone swarms and dogfights erupt between nuclear-armed neighbors. Pakistan flies Chinese-made jets, prompting Pentagon analysis. Trump expected to intervene diplomatically before his Middle East trip.

Trump Deploys Bombers as Iran's Nuclear Threat Grows – A hidden Iranian facility is revealed to be extracting tritium for nuclear weapons. Trump sends more bombers to Diego Garcia and signals mixed messages on whether any nuclear enrichment will be allowed under a future deal.

U.S.-Backed Ceasefire with Houthis Fizzles – Global shipping firms reject Red Sea route despite Trump's truce. Strike costs top $1 billion. Yemen's main airport is heavily damaged, but major carriers are still rerouting around Africa.

U.S.-UK Strike Tariff Deal, While China Feels the Squeeze – Trump cuts a deal with the UK: more beef exports, fewer car tariffs, and British films spared. China may get a 50% tariff next, though small U.S. importers are reeling under current 145% rates.

China's Economy Wobbles Under Tariff Pressure – Beijing injects emergency stimulus while stopping public economic reporting. Trump says "empty ports" mean America is winning.

Illegal Immigration Crackdown Shakes U.S. Labor Market – 70% of business leaders say Trump's enforcement actions will hit their operations, especially in retail and hospitality.

Biden Blames Sexism for Harris' Loss – In new interviews, Biden appears frail and accuses Americans of sexism for rejecting Kamala Harris.

FBI Probes NY AG Letitia James for Mortgage Fraud – The prosecutor who once went after Trump now faces her own legal firestorm over allegedly lying to banks about her residency and finances.
