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

Trump’s Approval Ratings Dip - But Democrats Gain Nothing – New polling shows Trump’s support falling to 41% approval, driven by concerns over the economy and tariffs. Still, Democrats haven’t gained ground, and Trump remains strong on immigration, where most Americans support mass deportation.

Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act – In a rare 1 a.m. decision, justices halt deportation of Venezuelan migrants as legal challenges unfold. The ruling is part of a larger legal war over Trump’s deportation agenda across four categories of migrants.

Medicare Abuse by Migrants Targeted – The administration is using health data to find illegal immigrants fraudulently collecting benefits. Self-deportation through hardship remains a central strategy.

Economic Outlook: Gloomy but with Bright Spots – While tariffs spark fears of stagflation and job loss, data shows prices remain stable, and U.S. steel, aluminum, and construction firms are adding jobs. Ten mining projects are fast-tracked as America fights rare earth dependence on China.

Global Updates: Ukraine Peace Talks Stalling, Iran Playing Nuclear Games – Trump’s patience wears thin with Ukraine peace efforts. Iran limits inspections and removes nuclear surveillance, leaving Israel considering a unilateral strike.

Gaza and Lebanon: Hamas Goes Broke, Lebanese Army Arrests Militants – Israel is squeezing Hamas financially, and Lebanon’s new president is cracking down on Hezbollah and Palestinian radicals.

U.S. Troops Coming Home from Syria – The drawdown begins as Trump fulfills his promise to wind down America’s anti-ISIS mission.

Health Tip of the Day: The 10-Second Balance Test – UK researchers say if you can’t balance on one foot for 10 seconds, you may face higher health risks. Stretch, walk, and squat your way to better longevity.

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