Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reacts to President Trump's eyebrow-raising comments about classified information and aliens, then pivots to a far more earthly threat as new reporting reveals U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund research collaborations with Chinese military-linked institutions.
Bryan also breaks down fresh evidence that China secretly conducted a nuclear test, why Greenland's missile defense position is critical to America's survival, and why Trump has issued a 10-day warning to Iran as U.S. carrier groups surge into the Middle East. He explains the stakes surrounding Diego Garcia, rising tensions with Mauritius, and the seizure of another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean.
The episode turns to political shockwaves in the United Kingdom and Washington following new Jeffrey Epstein revelations, including the arrest of Prince Andrew and congressional demands for CIA transparency. Bryan then covers the rapid collapse of so-called transgender medicine programs across major U.S. hospitals and closes with new Harvard research showing that spiritual practice significantly reduces substance abuse risk.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:12.2 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | It's Friday's headline brief. Heavy on News, lighter on analysis, launching us into the weekend |
| 0:27.4 | with events that as ever are shaping America and the world. We begin with news this morning. |
| 0:33.9 | From outer space, starting with a bombshell, or was it a joke? We're not sure. |
| 0:39.2 | Reuters is reporting that a reporter on Air Force One asked President Trump yesterday about a recent |
| 0:44.8 | admission by former president Barack Obama. Mr. Obama was asked by a podcaster last week |
| 0:50.4 | whether aliens were real or not, to which the former president said, quote, |
| 0:54.6 | they're real, but I haven't seen them, end quote. Oh, so they're real, but they're being |
| 0:59.8 | hidden? Well, Obama later backtrack on his comment, saying that the universe is big, |
| 1:04.7 | and that it's inconceivable that there wouldn't be alien life somewhere out there, |
| 1:08.7 | and that was his point. Okay, well, that then led to this question yesterday of President Trump, with a reporter from |

| 1:29.1 | He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a mistake, end quote. |
| 1:32.9 | When Fox News reporter, Peter Ducey expressed a little bit of shock about that saying, |
| 1:37.0 | so aliens are real. Mr. Trump said, quote, well, I don't know if they're real or not, |
| 1:41.8 | but I can tell you that he gave out classified information. He took out classified information. I don't have if they're real or not, but I can tell you that he gave out classified information. |
| 1:46.3 | He took out classified information. |
