Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday’s Headline Brief as he covers the top stories shaping America and the world.
Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment A leaked report suggesting Trump’s Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation’s major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen.
Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels President Trump’s tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation.
GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family’s $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it’s possible—just not fancy.
Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico’s cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change.
China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S. Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump’s team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear.
Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy.
Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump’s deep spending cuts.
Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it’s enforcing the Constitution.
New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren’t their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan. Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent.
Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles Trump’s administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border “gotaways,” down from 700 under Biden.
Congress Investigates Biden’s Auto-Pen Presidency Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden’s decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena.
Public Trust in News Plummets as Podcasts Rise Only 11 to 16 percent of Americans trust traditional media. Young men turn to podcasts, while women prefer social media. Bryan reflects on the risks of both legacy and new media, calling for critical thinking and personal responsibility in news consumption.
