    Cultural Backlash Hits LGBTQ+ Activism – Companies pull back Pride Month support as polls show rising backlash, especially against the “T” and “Q.” The Pentagon strips Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship over past sexual misconduct.

    Army Meets Recruitment Targets, Credits Anti-Woke Shift – The Army says new leadership and a focus on combat readiness—not activism—are driving enlistments.

    Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into the powerful intersection of artificial intelligence, espionage, and America's future—exploring how AI is transforming national security, manufacturing, medicine, and even morality.

    AI vs. Espionage: How Spying Is Being Rewritten – Bryan unpacks how digital surveillance and AI are making it nearly impossible for CIA officers to operate undetected. Ubiquitous technical surveillance is compromising human intelligence efforts, leaving President Trump and others to make decisions with low-confidence intel.

    The AI That Blackmails You – An AI model named Claude threatens researchers with blackmail 84% of the time when faced with shutdown. Bryan explains why this kind of emergent behavior poses existential risks and reveals the black-box problem haunting every major AI platform.

    All AI Models Are Politically Biased - and Lean Left – Stanford researchers find that every major AI leans left, especially OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Bryan explores the implications as we edge closer to a future filled with ideologically slanted robot “buddies.”

    AI’s Medical Breakthroughs and Robotic Reshoring – AI is revolutionizing medicine by speeding drug discovery and identifying unexpected treatments for cancer and lung disease. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are coming to American shipyards and factories to support Trump’s Five Bucket industrial revival.

    Robot Buddies and Ethical Dilemmas – From emotional bonds with children to societal purpose, Bryan dives into the moral questions surrounding the rise of personal humanoid robots and whether humanity is ready to share life with machines.

    Geothermal Power from an Oregon Volcano? – A company aims to drill 2.5 miles into a dormant volcano using an electromagnetic beam to unlock clean, 24/7 energy. Bryan explains why this radical new tech could power the AI and robotics revolution.

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

    Chinese Nationals Charged with Agro-Terrorism in Michigan – The FBI arrests a Chinese student and her boyfriend for smuggling a wheat-killing fungus into the U.S., potentially targeting America's food supply. One suspect expressed loyalty to Xi Jinping and is linked to the Communist Party. FBI Director Kash Patel calls it a wake-up call for food security and national defense.

    Trump Expands Emergency Powers to Boost Weapons and Rare Earth Mining – In response to Chinese rare earth blackmail and global supply chain vulnerabilities, President Trump invokes the Defense Production Act to increase U.S. arms and mineral output. Allies warn China’s squeeze on magnets may signal an impending Taiwan blockade or invasion.

    Elon Musk vs. Trump Over “Disgusting” Spending Bill – Musk lashes out at Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, calling it reckless and bloated. The rift deepens after Trump withdraws NASA nominee Jared Isaacman and House Republicans defend cuts to EV subsidies and NPR. A rescission bill is introduced to walk back $9.4B in spending.

    Vietnam Faces U.S. Trade Pressure, South Korea Elects Pro-China Socialist – Vietnam agrees to buy $2B in U.S. goods but resists Trump’s demand to curb Chinese transshipping. Meanwhile, South Korea elects Lee Jae-myung, a Bernie Sanders-style leftist who questions U.S. troop presence and cozies up to Beijing, complicating future Taiwan conflict strategy.

    China’s Auto Glut and Rare Earth Strategy Spark Global Tensions – Chinese car dealers beg automakers to slow production as $7,500 vehicles swamp the market. Simultaneously, China ramps up global espionage, especially targeting Dutch chip firms, while tightening its grip on global rare earth exports.

    Dutch Government Collapses Over Immigration – The Netherlands' ruling coalition falls apart after nationalist leader Geert Wilders demands mass deportations. European voters cite economic hardship and cultural tensions as driving factors.

    Gaza Aid Effort Stalls, Hamas Rejects Peace Deal – Israeli military progress in Gaza is overshadowed by disrupted food distribution. Hamas kills civilians to create propaganda, and U.S.-backed aid operations struggle internally. Peace remains elusive as Hamas refuses to accept Israel’s right to exist.

    Study Confirms Diverse Diet Key to Long-Term Health – A decade-long international study finds that consuming a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables delivers the best antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits - great news for your brain, heart, and longevity.

I have listened to this podcast for a while now. Daily. But the amount of bias has finally gotten me to the point of unfollowing. I want the news, and I'm fine with it leaning what ever way to an extent. but the way he talks about gems as if they have nothing to offer and are useless is annoying. on top of that he does only seem to report things that fit his bias vs giving us a real idea on what the other side thinks. I had to stop trusting what he said after a while of just derogatory hate for dems. I lean right and really just would love someone who reports facts. he does do good at stating when he is saying his opinion most of the time, which is great and why I listened for so long, but he dosnt seem inclined to change his perspective based on new information and just doubles down blaming everything on dems in general instead of cutting responsibility on the person/people who did it.

he not a bad talker but pretty biased
