Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.

Trump’s Tariffs Ruled Unconstitutional - But the Fight Isn’t Over – A federal court rules most of President Trump’s tariffs illegal, saying only Congress can impose them. The White House vows to appeal and may pivot to a 150-day emergency tariff clause. Markets react sharply amid uncertainty.

U.S. Economy and Consumer Confidence Surge Despite Tariff Pressure – General Motors backs Trump’s tariff strategy, and 70% of U.S. businesses say they’ll grow despite rising costs. New home sales jump, MIT launches a pro-manufacturing initiative, and consumer confidence climbs beyond expectations.

Radiant Mini Nuclear Reactor Could Revolutionize Energy – A U.S. company unveils a shipping-container-sized nuclear reactor powered by TRISO fuel. Built to be safe, off-grid, and Russia-free, these units may soon power homes, farms, or disaster zones.

Hamas Feared Trump, Wanted Kamala Harris to Win – A freed Israeli hostage reveals Hamas was “very scared” of Trump returning to office and hoped Democrats would win. His treatment improved after the election, fueling criticism of Democratic leadership’s global perception.

Israel’s Gaza Campaign Intensifies, Europe Demands Ceasefire – Netanyahu vows to dismantle Hamas and control 75% of Gaza. Europe demands a halt, while Israel defends its strategy. Aid theft by Hamas continues even as Israel tries to secure delivery.

Mini Iron Beam Laser Defense System Shows Promise – Israel’s new mobile laser defense destroys drones at just $1 per shot, offering game-changing potential for the U.S. and allies.

Russia Massing 50,000 Troops, Offers Dubious Peace Deal – Putin prepares for a summer offensive while offering Western powers a list of steep demands. Trump warns Putin is “playing with fire,” and reports show China is helping Russia evade sanctions.

Japan and South Korea Offer to Rebuild U.S. Shipyards - If Tariffs Are Lifted – Both allies pitch deals to rebuild U.S. commercial and military shipbuilding capacity in exchange for lower trade barriers. But a court ruling could upend the talks.

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32
