Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the tentative deal to end the U.S. government shutdown, new debates over healthcare reform, the Supreme Court's surprise ruling on food stamps, major flight disruptions nationwide, and the latest developments on immigration, the Deep State, and America's economy.
Shutdown Deal Reached — Maybe: The Senate passed a bill to reopen the government, but House Democrats say they'll block it over missing Obamacare subsidies. The White House is proposing a new alternative — direct cash for Health Savings Accounts instead of insurance company subsidies — a move Democrats call "backdoor privatization."
Supreme Court Blocks Full Food Stamp Payouts: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sided with the Trump administration, overturning a lower-court order that forced states to issue full SNAP benefits. Some states had already paid out 100 percent before the ruling, creating fresh confusion and federal threats of penalties.
Air Travel Meltdown: Over 5,000 flights were delayed or canceled as the shutdown sidelined air traffic controllers and a blizzard slammed Chicago. Bryan quips, "Might be time to trade in your plane ticket for a horse and buggy."
Stimulus Checks and 50-Year Mortgages: The White House floated $2,000 stimulus payments funded by tariff revenue, though the legality of those tariffs is now before the Supreme Court. Trump officials are also exploring 50-year mortgages and partial government ownership of homebuilders to lower housing costs — a plan critics call "socialism in disguise."
Minneapolis Election Exposes Somali Clan Politics: A near-upset in Minneapolis revealed how imported clan rivalries from Somalia are shaping U.S. elections. Ilhan Omar blamed her own clan's betrayal for a socialist ally's loss. Bryan warns, "We're not melting anymore — we're balkanizing."
New York's Marxist Mayor and Chicago's Chaos: NYC's new mayor Zohran Mamdani quoted Marxist Eugene Debs in his victory speech and declared his city "belongs to the foreigners who built it." Meanwhile, in Chicago, DHS agents came under gunfire during a deportation operation, showing how Operation Midway Blitz is meeting armed resistance.
Deep State Investigations Expand: The Blaze identified a possible suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — a former Capitol Police officer turned CIA employee — while a grand jury in Florida subpoenaed John Brennan, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page over the Obama-era Crossfire Hurricane probe.
Trump Targets Meatpacking Monopolies: The DOJ is investigating whether the "Big Four" packers — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and Marfrig — are price-fixing and harming U.S. ranchers. Bryan says the move is part of a broader White House effort to reconnect with its working-class base ahead of the 2026 midterms.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
