Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this special Friday edition of The Wright Report, we cover the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, FCC pressure, and whether America has entered a new era of censorship and government tyranny.
From late-night lies to free speech double standards, today's brief asks whether we are witnessing a dangerous new chapter — or simply the continuation of a fight that began years ago.
Jimmy Kimmel Controversy:
Kimmel refused to apologize after falsely claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin was a MAGA supporter. ABC pulled him off the air, citing legal obligations under FCC rules against "news distortion."
Democrats Cry Censorship:
Chuck Schumer compared Trump's FCC pressure to Xi and Putin, Barack Obama called it "a dangerous level," and Jen Psaki declared it tyranny. Yet all three have histories of supporting government intimidation of conservatives.
Media and GOP Reactions:
CNN's Brian Stelter warned America is now "less free," though he once justified cracking down on conservatives. Republicans like Guy Benson urged caution, warning the precedent could backfire. The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued deregulation of TV oversight is the only long-term fix.
Bryan's Analysis:
"We don't live in a functional society anymore. We live in a revolutionary state… either one side wins or the other does. The Left isn't tired of fighting. They want war. Their words, not mine." Bryan calls for peaceful victories in politics and law — but warns more Charlie Kirks may fall before the nation finds peace.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's September 19th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:16.2 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to The Right Report, your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.5 | Today is a special episode, a personal reflection for our Friday, focused on a new era of censorship and government tyranny. |
| 0:30.5 | At least that is the headline allegation made by Democrats, leftist media outlets, and a few Republicans over the past 24 hours. |
| 0:36.9 | Of course, after ABC News, or ABC, more |
| 0:39.9 | broadly, sideline their late-night host, Mr. Jimmy Kimmel. But we should ask, is that true, |
| 0:45.7 | have we entered into a new era of censorship and government tyranny? Or maybe we have been here for a while. |
| 0:52.2 | And if that's true, what does that mean and what might come |
| 0:55.1 | next? I'll share my analysis and opinion about all of that in a couple of minutes, but first, |
| 1:00.3 | let's get to the facts and the data about this ongoing wild piece of news that is absolutely |
| 1:05.6 | shaping America in the world. Jimmy Kimmel either got exactly what he deserved and the law allowed earlier this |
| 1:12.6 | week, or he's a martyr who is living in what has really become an American dictatorship. Those |
| 1:18.7 | are pretty much your two choices this morning based on the past 24 hours of news coverage. But before |
| 1:24.1 | we get into the reactions of why that might be and people argue one of the other, |
| 1:32.1 | let's remember what Jimmy Kimmel said on his Monday show that sparked this whole outcry. |
| 1:38.5 | He said, quote, the MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, end quote. |
| 1:42.2 | So Kimmel there was asserting that the kid, the assassin, |
| 1:45.5 | was and is a MAGA member. He was and is not. The killer was a leftist and is. That ideology |
| 1:53.0 | then drove his murder of Charlie Kirk. That is not in dispute. This was a political |
| 1:58.0 | assassination based on a worldview that is held by most of America's left. |
| 2:02.7 | As I covered yesterday, ABC asked Mr. Kimmel as a precondition to continuing his show to apologize on air for his lie, |
| 2:10.2 | with ABC gently reminding him that they had fired TV talent before for speech that they didn't like, |
