Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.
Trump Demands Iran’s Surrender as U.S. and Israeli Pressure Mounts
President Trump tells the Ayatollah to surrender unconditionally, warning that his location is known and he could be targeted. Meanwhile, U.S. fighter jets arrive in the region and Israel kills Iran’s new war commander just four days into the job. Mossad continues its AI-powered campaign, using digital exhaust to track and eliminate key Iranian figures.
China’s Mysterious Cargo Flights and Strategic Interests
A Boeing 747 cargo plane has been rerouted from Europe to Iran multiple times this week, raising suspicions that China is supplying Tehran with drones or military equipment in exchange for discounted oil and methanol. Bryan explains how Beijing’s covert support could backfire diplomatically across the Arab world.
Congress Pushes Back Against Presidential War Powers
Lawmakers from both parties, including Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, propose legislation to require Trump to seek congressional approval before launching offensive military operations.
America’s Border Holds the Line, Californians Push Back on Benefits for Illegals
Border Patrol releases zero illegal migrants into the U.S. in May, a dramatic turnaround from Biden-era figures. In California, support for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants drops sharply after the Medi-Cal system nearly collapses.
Vietnam Moves Toward U.S. Trade Alignment, China Expands in Bhutan
Trump negotiates with Vietnam to cut Chinese trade dependence. Meanwhile, China continues its covert land grabs in Bhutan using herders, soldiers, and road construction to claim territory.
Good News: Clean Food and Chronic Pain Relief
General Mills and Kraft Heinz will remove artificial colors from their foods by 2027. In Norway, researchers find that walking 100 to 120 minutes per day significantly reduces chronic lower back pain.
