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 breaking news on Trump’s federal takeover of Washington DC’s police, potential nationwide marijuana reclassification, Iran’s nuclear program under siege, a Chinese naval mishap in the South China Sea, and a Supreme Court case that could overturn gay marriage.
Trump Federalizes DC Police and Eyes Chicago, LA:
President Trump deploys 800 National Guard troops to Washington DC and assumes control of its police department for 30 days, citing a public safety emergency. Supporters point to rampant crime and alleged data manipulation by city officials, while critics claim it is an authoritarian power grab. Trump says similar moves could come to Chicago and Los Angeles.
White House Considers Marijuana Reclassification:
Trump is considering downgrading marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug, easing restrictions on recreational and medical use. Bryan examines the health and safety concerns, including toxic metals, pesticides, mislabeled THC levels, and regulatory failures in the cannabis industry.
Iran Hides Nuclear Scientists After Israeli Strikes:
Following Israel’s covert operations that killed dozens of Iran’s nuclear scientists, Tehran has relocated the remaining 100 or so into hiding. Mossad continues to hunt them, with Israeli officials calling the survivors “dead men walking.”
Chinese Navy Ships Collide in the South China Sea:
Two Chinese naval vessels collided while pursuing a Philippine Coast Guard ship, causing major damage and embarrassment for Beijing. The mishap raises questions about the battle readiness of China’s rapidly expanding military.
Supreme Court to Hear Case That Could Overturn Gay Marriage:
A Kentucky county clerk’s legal battle has escalated into a challenge to the 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Bryan breaks down shifting public opinion, linking the change to backlash against radical transgender activism, and previews possible outcomes when the Court hears arguments this fall.
