Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine.

Markets Slide After Record High:
The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months.

Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts:
Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain.

White House Floats Portable Mortgages:
The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience.

Immigration Crackdown Widens:
Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense.

Energy and Manufacturing Developments:
New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing.

Iran's Water Crisis:
Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime.

Trump Meets Syria's New President:
Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral.

Europe Confronts Migration Fallout:
Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration.

Ukraine Corruption Scandal:
Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading.

Good News for the Weekend:
A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.

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, Bryan covers the end of the U.S. government shutdown, the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails and the political storm they've reignited, the sharp drop in violent crime nationwide — and why some Democrats are furious about it — and Trump's renewed clash with his base over foreign labor visas.

Government Shutdown Ends — For Now:
President Trump signed the Senate's funding bill to reopen the government, but only through January. The bill includes a controversial clause allowing Senators to sue the federal government for the DOJ's "Arctic Frost" surveillance of lawmakers during the Biden years. As one senator put it, Democrats are now "angry it's over, angry it happened, and angry it might happen again." Bryan warns another shutdown is likely in early 2026.

Epstein Emails and Media Spin:
House Democrats released new Epstein emails suggesting Trump "knew about the girls," while Republicans countered with 20,000 additional messages showing he cut ties with Epstein and banned him from Mar-a-Lago. Bryan breaks down how selective framing by Democrats and the press is distorting what the evidence actually shows — and how Trump's own team mishandled the case politically.

Crime Drops, Democrats Complain:
Crime has plunged across cities like D.C., Memphis, and Chicago following Trump's deportation crackdowns. Yet some Democrats call the effort "fascist" and "racist," even as 911 calls and shootings fall sharply. Bryan argues the results prove the policy's success — and that "Democrats would rather be ideologically pure than keep their cities safe."

Trump Defends H-1B Visas — Base Erupts:
After telling Fox News that America "needs foreign talent" for advanced industries like battery manufacturing, Trump reignited a familiar rift with his MAGA base. Bryan explains how the H-1B program has become a loophole for cheap labor, warning that if Trump doesn't crack down, "his working-class supporters will stay home in 2026."

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, Bryan examines President Trump's defense of his plan to double the number of Chinese students in America, Beijing's latest moves to weaponize rare earth minerals, the deepening conflicts in Gaza and Guinea, and how Sweden's cultural war on assimilation mirrors the decline of the West. He closes with promising new medical breakthroughs on Alzheimer's, cancer, heart rhythm, and anxiety.

Trump Defends 600,000 Chinese Student Visas:
President Trump told Fox News that Chinese students keep American colleges solvent, calling the plan "a business decision." Critics, including Laura Ingraham, warned that Chinese nationals pose espionage and bioweapon risks, while Trump insisted, "MAGA was my idea — I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else." Bryan argues the move exposes Trump's blind spot: treating adversaries as business partners instead of ideological foes.

China's Rare Earth Slowdown:
Xi Jinping is quietly delaying rare earth export licenses for U.S. buyers, especially those tied to military contracts, while expanding Chinese control of mines in Brazil and Central Asia. Bryan warns that "Beijing seeks domination, not cooperation — we can never trust China on anything."

Gaza, Guinea, and the Global Chessboard:
Trump's Pentagon is exploring a new base near Gaza to support a 10,000-member Arab stabilization force, while King Abdullah of Jordan says no Arab nation wants to "touch that mission." In Africa, China now controls the world's largest iron-ore mine in Guinea, giving it leverage to flood global steel markets and crush Western industry.

Sweden's Self-Destruction:
Leftist mayors in Sweden argue that native Swedes must integrate with Arab migrants, not the other way around. Bryan calls it "civilizational suicide" and a warning for America's future: "When a culture stops believing in itself, it dies."

Good News in Medicine:
Scientists report that NAD⁺ supplements may reverse Alzheimer's symptoms, a high-fiber diet improves melanoma survival, coffee may reduce A-Fib risk, and choline — found in salmon and eggs — helps ease anxiety. Bryan calls it "proof that science, faith, and common sense can still work together."
