The ruling could reshape how Washington works and dramatically increase executive power. The White House announces a $12 billion bailout for farmers harmed by the tariff war with China, sparking frustration from small businesses that say they have been hit even harder. Legal challenges to the tariffs raise new questions about whether the funding will ultimately remain available. Trump's new National Security Strategy marks a seismic shift in US foreign policy, prioritizing the Western Hemisphere, confronting China in the Indo-Pacific, and sharply distancing from Europe. Bryan walks listeners through the document using a historical lens, asking how President George Washington might view America's path forward.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Supreme Court presidential power, Humphrey's Executor, Trump executive authority, farmer bailout, tariff war, small business tariffs, National Security Strategy, Western Hemisphere focus, China Indo-Pacific strategy, Europe relations, George Washington Farewell Address

New twists emerge in the Capitol pipe bomber case as lawmakers challenge the FBI's past testimony. Debate intensifies over Trump's drone strikes in the Caribbean, with Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul pushing for full transparency. Trump also expresses regret over his pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar after the congressman reenters the race. On the immigration front, illegal aliens now face steep federal fines, and New York's release of violent offenders sparks renewed controversy. Meanwhile, a surprising new poll shows many Mexicans open to US military action against cartels, setting up a major geopolitical storyline.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump economy, inflation, layoffs, manufacturing, Minnesota Somali fraud, Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar, Capitol pipe bomber, FBI cell data, Caribbean drone strikes, Rand Paul, Henry Cuellar pardon, Texas map, migrant fines, Rikers Island, NYC crime, Mexico cartel poll, US intervention potential

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the Pentagon's new Inspector General findings on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's use of the Signal app, Eric Swalwell's push for voting by phone, new revelations about how the Afghan terrorist in Washington was radicalized, a Senate bill that would end dual citizenship, and promising research on depression and mental health. Pentagon IG Clears Hegseth of Wrongdoing: The Inspector General found that senior Trump officials violated protocol by discussing Yemen strike operations on the Signal app, but that Hegseth had legal authority to declassify what he shared. The report warns that using personal devices creates risk, although no adversary appears to have intercepted the information. Bryan describes the episode as sloppy tradecraft that prompted the administration to tighten internal communications procedures. Swalwell Pushes Voting by Phone: California Democrat Eric Swalwell is proposing phone-based voting, insisting it can be secure. Bryan counters with his CIA experience, explaining that any phone-based voting system would be a prime target for foreign intelligence services. He argues that electronic voting in any form creates undetectable vulnerabilities that nations like China and Russia would exploit. How the Afghan Terrorist Was Radicalized: New reporting shows that Rahmanullah Lakanwal told his wife he was meeting with members of the Tablighi Jamaat, a Deobandi revivalist movement with a long history of extremism. The group has terror cells in parts of the United States, and Lakanwal previously assisted the CIA in killing their members overseas. Bryan explains why investigators are now trying to determine whether cells in Phoenix, San Diego, Chicago, Indianapolis, or on the East Coast are connected to the attack. Senator Proposes Ending Dual Citizenship: Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno introduced a bill requiring Americans to hold only United States citizenship. He argues that dual allegiance creates legal and security conflicts and says becoming an American should be an all-or-nothing commitment. Bryan encourages listeners who support the idea to contact their senators and weigh in. Mental Health Research Offers Hope: Studies show that taking a weeklong break from social media reduces depression and insomnia. British researchers also found that nitrous oxide treatments can rapidly improve severe depression when other therapies fail, and exercise and time in nature remain highly effective for anxiety and mood disorders.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Pentagon IG report, Signal app, Pete Hegseth declassification authority, Eric Swalwell voting by phone, NSA hacking risks electronic voting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal Tablighi Jamaat radicalization, dual citizenship, Exclusive Citizenship Act, depression research nitrous oxide, social media break mental health

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the political firestorm surrounding the Trump Administration's double-tap strike on a Venezuelan narco boat, the escalating fight over Somali immigration and de-naturalization, the nationwide crackdown on unsafe foreign truck drivers, and a new plan to help American families have more children. Narco Boat Double Tap Becomes a Political Weapon: New reporting shows that SOCOM Commander Admiral Mitch Bradley ordered the second strike that killed two surviving cartel operatives after the initial hit on September 2. Republicans say it was a lawful action against confirmed narco-terrorists, while Democrats and Senator Rand Paul claim it may have violated rules of engagement. A lawsuit has now been filed by the family of one of the dead traffickers. Bryan argues the debate is being driven more by political rivalries than by legal facts.   Trump Escalates Fight Over Somali Migration: President Trump declared that Somali migrants who committed fraud or concealed their identities should be removed from the country and called Ilhan Omar and her political allies "garbage." Minnesota Democrats fired back, accusing Trump of racism and warning Somali residents to stay vigilant as ICE begins new removal operations focused on people with final deportation orders. Bryan explains the legal limits of de-naturalization and why it remains difficult without congressional reform.   De-Naturalization Concerns for Lawful Immigrants: In response to listener concerns, Bryan walks through federal rules on improper naturalization. Fraud, concealment, or a lack of "good moral character" during the citizenship process can lead to revocation, but the standard is high and must be proven in court. He notes that upcoming fights over the Senate filibuster will determine whether the administration can broaden those standards.   Federal Crackdown on Dangerous Foreign Truckers: The Department of Transportation found that thousands of CDL training programs, many catering to migrants, issued licenses without meeting basic standards. Nearly 3,000 schools face revocation within 30 days, and more than 4,000 others have been warned. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pressuring states, including Minnesota and Texas, to end Obama-era rules that allowed truckers to pass without reading or speaking English.   Tax Refund Tightening and State Resistance: Treasury officials are closing loopholes that allowed illegal migrants to receive tax refunds, while the Department of Agriculture is withholding food stamp funds from states that refuse to share immigration data about recipients. New York, California, and Minnesota are preparing lawsuits to block the changes.   A Push to Raise America's Birthrate: The White House unveiled a private donation of $6.25 billion from the Dell family to boost "Trump Accounts," which offer savings for newborns and children under age 10. The accounts can later be used for education, home purchases, or starting a business. Bryan explains how the plan aims to counter America's record-low fertility rate and spark renewed interest in marriage and family life.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: double tap narco boat strike, Admiral Mitch Bradley SOCOM, Pete Hegseth unlawful orders debate, Trump Somali migrants Minnesota, Ilhan Omar de-naturalization rules, DOT migrant CDL crackdown, Sean Duffy licensing reforms, Treasury migrant tax refunds, Trump Accounts fertility initiative, Dell family donation

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes a billion-dollar Somali fraud ring in Minnesota, breaks down Washington's new terror finance investigation, and explains how decades of immigration, politics, and cultural denial allowed the scheme to flourish. He then turns to global flashpoints involving Venezuela, Ukraine, deep-sea espionage, and a major warning from the CIA to Britain about Chinese infiltration. Minnesota Meltdown and Somali Fraud Network: A sweeping federal and state investigation has uncovered more than one billion dollars in fraud committed by Somali-run nonprofits in Minnesota. Money meant for disabled children, addicts, and food assistance was instead funneled into luxury lifestyles and sent to al-Shabaab in Somalia. State officials knew years ago that the organizations were bogus, yet Democrat leaders like Governor Tim Walz expanded funding and backed off oversight after Somali activists accused them of racism. Bryan cites the New York Times report confirming the scale of the crime and the cultural norms behind it.   Treasury Department Opens Terror Finance Probe: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has launched a new national security investigation into Minnesota's Somali crime rings after evidence showed U.S. taxpayer cash was being carried in suitcases to Mogadishu to fund Islamist clan conflicts. Bryan notes that virtually all offenders are naturalized or U.S.-born citizens, which means deportation will require de-naturalization rather than standard immigration enforcement.   Judges and Police Under Pressure: Minnesota's political climate has made honest policing and prosecution nearly impossible. The Minneapolis police chief apologized after acknowledging Somali youth crime, and a local judge overturned a jury verdict in a seven-million-dollar Medicaid fraud case despite overwhelming evidence. Bryan argues that political fear of offending a key voting bloc has paralyzed the state's justice system.   Venezuela Double Tap Controversy: New reporting confirms that eleven cartel boat operators were killed during a U.S. strike in early September, including a possible second strike that hit wounded survivors. The White House says the second hit was ordered lawfully by SOCOM's Admiral Mitch Bradley, not by President Trump or Secretary Pete Hegseth. Democrats insist it is a war crime, and Republicans say they will investigate.   Ukraine Turmoil and Russian Advances: Zelenskyy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, resigned after corruption raids, deepening Ukraine's internal crisis. Russia captured the key city of Pokrovsk and is now striking deeper into Ukraine's interior. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff meets Vladimir Putin today for a high-stakes round of peace talks.   Russian Spy Network Under the Arctic: French and British media uncovered a fifteen-year Russian operation called Harmony that built an underwater surveillance web of cables and sensors in the Barents Sea. The network tracks NATO and U.S. submarines near Russia's nuclear bases. The CIA and European services have been secretly countering the effort for years.   CIA Warns Britain Over Chinese Water Takeover: The CIA and senior Trump officials privately urged British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to block a Chinese purchase of Thames Water, the utility that supplies London. U.S. intelligence warns that Chinese ownership could jeopardize American troops in Britain and give Beijing control over critical UK infrastructure.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minnesota Somali fraud one billion dollars, Feeding Our Future scandal, Tim Walz political pressure, Scott Bessent terror finance probe, Somali de-naturalization debate, Venezuela cartel boat double tap, SOCOM Admiral Mitch Bradley decision, Zelenskyy Yermak corruption resignation, Pokrovsk Russian advance, Operation Harmony Barents Sea, CIA warns UK Thames Water China

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the nation's grief and anger after the Washington terror attack, the deepening crisis within America's immigration system, and President Trump's most sweeping border actions yet. He also examines the political backlash, the debate over assimilation, and the global pressures shaping events from Europe to Venezuela. America Mourns and Demands Answers: Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition while Specialist Sarah Beckstrom is laid to rest after last week's terror attack in Washington. DHS confirmed the attacker, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was a former CIA-backed Afghan Zero Unit fighter who was radicalized after arrival in the United States. Investigators say he drifted between Washington State, Arizona, and the East Coast with little oversight, revealing systemic vetting failures across multiple administrations.   Vetting Breakdown Exposed: Inspector General reports show that over two hundred thousand Afghans brought into the country during the 2021 evacuation were admitted with almost no reliable databases, poor ID verification, and limited interagency cooperation. None received continual vetting after entry. Bryan explains why "strict vetting" is a political myth and why U.S. systems remain unable to verify criminal history, ideology, or cultural fit for many migrants.   Trump Orders the Most Sweeping Immigration Freeze in Decades: The President has paused all asylum applications, halted Afghan visa processing, and instructed his team to permanently pause migration from Third World nations to reset the system. Green card and citizenship requests from nineteen countries are suspended. Trump is also considering the denaturalization of foreign-born citizens who fail loyalty or cultural compatibility standards. Legal scholars note that Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act grants the President broad authority to take such steps.   Political Firestorm and Cultural Divide: Republicans and most Independents support a historic crackdown, while Democrats accuse Trump of racism and xenophobia. Some leaders, including Representative Jasmin Crockett and Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, blamed the National Guard deployments for the attack. Bryan argues that many progressive lawmakers reject assimilation because they reject the idea of American culture itself, pointing to recent examples in education, media, and politics.   College Degrees Lose Appeal: New polling shows only 33 percent of Americans believe a four-year degree is worth the cost. Interest in vocational training and maritime careers is rising as tuition increases outpace wages. Maritime academies report that graduates earn more than $200,000 a year after six months of work.   The Autopen Controversy: President Trump announced he is canceling all executive actions signed by Joe Biden through the autopen, citing concerns that Biden did not authorize their use. The Justice Department may soon bring cases that will force the Supreme Court to clarify the legality of autopen approvals.   Debate Over Unlawful Orders Heats Up: Reports claim Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on a cartel boat. Hegseth denies it. Senator Mark Kelly suggested troops should rely on intuition when evaluating orders, which critics warn could lead to chaos and politicized discipline. The issue may shape U.S. operations in the Caribbean.   Global Flashpoints: Venezuela and Europe: Trump rejected demands from Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro for guaranteed amnesty and military control as part of an exit deal. Maduro may attempt a guerrilla resistance if forced out. In Europe, Islamist protests are disrupting Christmas markets in Belgium and Germany, where security costs have surged. France's populist movement is surging in polls as crime tied to migrants fuels public frustration. Portugal's populist party Chega is also now tied for first place in national polling.   Medical News: A major UK study finds that weight loss drugs like Mounjaro and Zepbound must be taken long-term to maintain results, with many patients regaining most of the weight after stopping treatment.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Washington DC terror attack Afghan Zero Unit, Rahmanullah Lakanwal vetting failure, Trump asylum freeze Section 212f, de-naturalization debate immigration reform, Jasmin Crockett Guard criticism, Debbie Wasserman Schultz Trump blame, college degree value drop vocational training, autopen Biden executive actions, Hegseth double tap allegation, Venezuela Maduro exit talks, Belgium Germany Christmas market threats, France National Rally Bardella, Portugal Chega Ventura, GLP-1 weight loss drug study UK
