Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In today’s episode, we cover
ICE Raids Spark Backlash in Los Angeles
Federal agents used a rental truck to launch a surprise immigration enforcement operation outside a Home Depot in LA, arresting 16 illegal immigrants. Local officials believed such raids had been blocked by court order, but the U.S. Attorney’s office says federal law will still be enforced. Meanwhile, national ICE arrest rates have declined, raising questions about the administration’s overall effectiveness.
Trump’s Trade and Rare Earth Strategy Expands
From Nebraska to the Cook Islands, President Trump’s plan to reshore mineral production advances with new Pentagon investments and undersea mining diplomacy. Apple receives a temporary tariff exemption in exchange for promising $100 billion in U.S. investments, but skepticism remains. Bryan challenges the narrative that American-made electronics are economically unviable.
Peace Signals in Ukraine, War Clouds Over Gaza
Putin signals possible conditions for ending the war in Ukraine, delivered through Trump envoy Steve Witkoff. But in Gaza, the president has given Israel full approval to escalate operations against Hamas following new hostage torture videos. A military debate is now unfolding in Tel Aviv, and Bryan offers a provocative idea: a humanitarian corridor into Egypt to evacuate civilians.
Listener Question: Was Biden’s Migrant Vetting Real?
Pete from Kansas asks whether illegal immigrants were vetted under the Biden administration. Bryan provides a comprehensive response using facts, DHS reports, and examples from the Haitian migration crisis. From fake IDs to failed databases, Bryan explains why the answer is no—and why that matters for America’s future.
