Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover new revelations about the Minneapolis trans shooter’s family and manifesto, fresh polling on Trump’s crime crackdown, a major court battle over tariffs, and Trump’s firing spree across the federal government.
From tragic lessons in Minnesota to seismic fights in Washington, today’s brief connects crime, economics, and politics shaping America’s future.
Trans Shooter’s Family Secrets and Final Words:
Robert Westman’s manifesto admitted, “Gender and weed f***’ed up my head… I wish I never tried experimenting with either.” He blamed his father for pushing him into transitioning and his mother for warning he would regret it, writing, “You were right mama, but the way you handled it led me to wanting to kill so so many people.” Bryan calls it proof of medical quackery, marijuana’s dangers, and adults failing a child into madness.
Trump’s Crime Crackdown Gains Support:
A new AP poll shows 53 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s approach, with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser conceding his surge “worked” after carjackings fell 87 percent. She added, “When carjackings go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer.” In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an order to resist federal forces, but courts say Trump’s deployments are legal under the Insurrection Act.
Court Battle Over Trump’s Tariffs:
An appeals court struck down Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs under IEEPA, setting up a Supreme Court fight in October. Trump warned, “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.” Meanwhile, Trump ended the $800 “de minimis” exemption, slashing it to $200 and rocking supply chains. Some small retailers warn they will go bust, while U.S. tomato growers and flatware makers report new life under tariff protections.
Trump Fires Federal Employees and Questions Vaccines:
From the EPA to the DOJ to the CIA, Trump is firing staff en masse. At the CDC, he broke from his past support for Operation Warp Speed, declaring, “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs… I want the answer, and I want it NOW.” Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard’s revocation of 37 security clearances included a CIA officer just promoted undercover, abruptly ending her 30-year career. Bryan says Trump is cutting with “a chainsaw, not a scalpel” to root out the Deep State.
