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

Supreme Court Expands Presidential Power Over Federal Agencies – In a landmark decision, the Court rules Trump can fire appointees from “independent” agencies like the NLRB, reshaping executive authority and possibly opening the door to major reforms—including spending control.

Trump’s Budget Bill Passes the House—Markets Shudder – The “Big, Beautiful Bill” narrowly clears the House, cutting green subsidies and boosting border spending. But the $3T in new debt spooks bond markets and sets up a GOP clash in the Senate.

China Deemed Greatest Threat in U.S. History – CIA Deputy Director calls China the top existential threat America has ever faced. Despite this, Trump’s tariff rollbacks continue as U.S. companies scramble with rising supply chain costs.

Retailers React to Tariffs: Walmart Warns of Price Hikes, Target Stays Quiet, Nike Raises Prices – As stacked tariffs hit, companies split on their messaging. Trump urges retailers to “eat it”—the costs, that is.

Tucker Carlson Calls Trump Middle East Dealings ‘Corrupt’ – On his podcast, Carlson agrees with guest Shawn Ryan that Trump’s Qatar jet gift and real estate ventures abroad “seem like corruption.” The White House has yet to respond.

Disney, Harvard Face Trump’s Immigration Crackdown – Disney places Venezuelan workers on unpaid leave, and Trump’s DHS revokes Harvard’s right to host international students over ties to anti-Semitic and pro-communist activity.

Putin Rejects Ukraine Peace Deal, Trump Pulls Back – After a call with Putin, Trump begins stepping back from negotiations. Vance says it’s time to recognize this as “Biden’s war.”

France and Saudi Arabia Push Hamas to Disarm – With Hamas leadership decimated, new talks aim to shift the group to a political role only. Meanwhile, a U.S. Leftist kills two Israeli diplomats in DC, further inflaming tensions.

China Eyes Diego Garcia, Trump Approves UK Transfer – Beijing-linked satellite images of U.S. forces raise alarms. Trump backs a UK deal transferring island sovereignty to pro-China Mauritius, baffling allies.

Taiwan Ramps Up Drone Defenses Against Invasion Threat – The island nation forms its first military drone units to reinforce deterrence against a Chinese invasion.

Medical Science: Vitamin D3 Slows Aging; Spicy Food Curbs Calories – New studies show vitamin D3 reduces telomere shortening, while spicy food could help reduce calorie intake and fight obesity.

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32
