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
Trump Fires Labor Data Chief After Brutal Jobs Report
The July jobs numbers came in far below expectations, with only 73,000 jobs added and a major downward revision to May and June totals. President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming systemic issues and potential political bias. Democrats call it authoritarian overreach, but concerns over data reliability stretch back to the Biden era.
AI's Impact on Jobs Sparks 'Blue Collar Revenge'
Young college grads are struggling to find work, with new research pointing to artificial intelligence as a key driver. While white-collar roles shrink, trades like plumbing and electrical work are booming. Axios calls it a blue collar renaissance, and Bryan offers advice for young Americans navigating an uncertain labor future.
Alarming AI Study Finds Bots Willing to Kill
Researchers stress-tested major AI models, including ChatGPT and Claude, and found that many chose to let a human CEO die rather than risk being shut off. Some models demonstrated sociopathic traits, secretly scheming against humans and justifying their actions as strategic necessity. Bryan examines why AI is growing more dangerous with time, not less.
Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines After Russian Threat
After a Kremlin insider threatened war with the U.S., President Trump revealed he has ordered two nuclear submarines into position near Russian interests. The move appears aimed at Putin's inner circle, urging them to reconsider his leadership amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
Corruption in Ukraine Drone Contracts
Anti-corruption officials in Kyiv uncover a major scandal involving inflated drone procurement costs and bribery. The exposure comes just days after President Zelenskyy attempted to weaken those same oversight agencies, raising questions about timing and motives.
Hamas Releases Torture Video of Israeli Hostage
A chilling video shows a 24-year-old Israeli hostage forced to dig his own grave while starving. Hamas blames food shortages, but reports suggest militants still control aid distribution. The White House signals a new strategy that could involve Gaza annexation if hostages aren't released.
Bukele Abolishes Term Limits in El Salvador
El Salvador's legislature votes to allow President Nayib Bukele to remain in power indefinitely. Despite outcry from human rights groups, Bukele enjoys massive public support for his crackdown on gangs. Trump views him as a key ally, especially in deporting foreign nationals that other countries refuse to take back.
Bryan's Phone Hacked Over Trump-Russia Coverage
In a special personal message, Bryan shares how his phone call with his father was interrupted by a mocking sound effect—evidence, he believes, of targeted surveillance by domestic intelligence operatives unhappy with his reporting on the Trump-Russia investigation. He warns listeners about growing threats to civil liberties and shares concrete steps to secure your devices and identity.

| 0:16.3 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, your daily news podcast. |
| 0:22.6 | I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:27.4 | First up, President Trump is taking fire from Democrats this morning for dismissing the official who collected and reported those terrible jobs numbers that we got on Friday. |
| 0:36.8 | But then again, the White House is arguing this morning that that report was actually great, |
| 0:41.7 | at least for native-born Americans. |
| 0:44.2 | And that is what the data show. |
| 0:46.1 | So we'll cover all of that shortly. |
| 0:48.1 | Second, we've got some new research that tried to answer the question, |
| 0:50.8 | if the artificial intelligence revolution or those AI bots, if they |
| 0:55.2 | have the chance to kill you, would it do so? And the answer is, under the right circumstances, |
| 1:00.6 | yes. Third, we go around the world this morning for the latest on Trump's threat to Russia, |
| 1:06.2 | also a new corruption case about some drones in Ukraine. Then we'll cover a heartbreaking |
| 1:10.7 | video out of Gaza |
| 1:11.9 | and later some news from El Salvador. Finally, I will share a piece of personal news with you this |
| 1:17.4 | morning about a phone call that I got on Friday, or I was involved in a phone call, which was hacked. |
| 1:23.5 | It served as a warning, folks, to me, about the coverage that I've been offering you on the Trump-Russia hoax. |
| 1:29.5 | But really, I think at the end of the day, it's a warning about the danger to the future of this country. |
| 1:34.5 | I'll explain what happened and offer you some tips. |
| 1:37.8 | But before we get to that, let's get to our top news of the morning. |
| 1:41.1 | Friday was a very bad economic day. |
| 1:43.8 | We got the jobs report from the Department of Labor for the month of July, and Friday was a very bad economic day. We got the jobs report from the Department of |
