    02 OCT 2025: The Sombrero Wars: Trump vs. Dems // Pentagon Requires Lie Detectors // US Farm Updates // AI Nuclear Shocker // Spies in Ukraine // Chinese Mafia in Italy // Peace in Gaza // Dirty Green in China

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 Trump’s viral sombrero memes targeting Democrats, the Pentagon’s crackdown on leaks, fresh warnings for U.S. farmers and ranchers, the massive energy demands of AI, the arrest of Nord Stream saboteurs, Ukraine’s push for Tomahawk missiles, Chinese mafia violence in Italy, Trump’s Gaza peace deal, and even a rare case of good news about China’s green energy trash. From mariachi memes to missile wars and mafia battles, today’s brief connects the headlines shaping America and the world.   Trump’s Sombrero Memes Spark Outrage: The White House posted AI videos mocking Democrats with sombreros and mustaches as they demanded $1 trillion for health care, part of which would go to migrants. VP JD Vance shrugged, saying, “Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist… but I honestly don’t even know what that means.” GOP commentators called the memes “politically genius” for using humor to spotlight taxpayer costs.   Pentagon Orders Polygraphs to Stop Leaks: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now requires NDAs and random polygraph tests for all staff and contractors to crack down on leaks. Bryan cautions that “polygraphs are tools, not an oracle,” recalling how his first CIA test flagged him for feeling guilty about stealing junior high concession stand quarters.   Screwworm Outbreak Worsens in Mexico: Cases jumped 32 percent in September to 6,700, including 5,000 in cattle. Ranchers warn the deadly parasite could soon hit Texas and drive beef prices higher. Bryan urges, “Stock up now.”   Farmers and Trump Clash Over Argentina Soybeans: After Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bailed out President Milei, Argentina sold $7 billion in soybeans to China, undercutting U.S. farmers. Trump promised a bailout using tariff funds, but Democrats are blocking the deal. Bryan calls it “a Mexican standoff” with farmers caught in the middle.   AI Revolution Requires 44 New Nuclear Reactors: The IEEE reports U.S. AI demand will equal the output of 44 new nuclear power plants within five years. Russia remains the top uranium supplier. Trump is expanding coal leases and equity stakes in mineral and energy companies, while Bryan slams Silicon Valley’s AGI obsession: “Give me a little buddy I can train each day… not a know-it-all chatbot filled with junk data.”   Nord Stream Saboteur Arrested in Ukraine Plot: German officials detained a Ukrainian tied to the 2022 pipeline bombing, allegedly ordered by General Valery Zaluzhny. Defense may argue the sabotage was a legitimate act of war.   Ukraine Pushes for Tomahawk Missiles: Trump leans toward sending 1,500-mile Tomahawks for “kind-for-kind” strikes. Putin warned it would make America a direct combatant, with U.S. CIA and Special Forces bases likely targets. Bryan warns Russia could also strike from Mexico or use saboteurs posing as asylum seekers.   Chinese Mafia Wars in Italy: Gun battles erupt in Prato as Chinese gangs fight over the $115 million hanger market for Italy’s fast fashion industry. The city’s Chinese population exploded from 500 in 1990 to 40,000 today, fueling Beijing-backed mafia influence.   Hamas Has Hours to Accept Trump’s Gaza Plan: Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt told Hamas to accept Trump’s deal or lose support. Turkey may gain F-35 jets and Egypt may see Trump pause recognition of Somaliland in return. Bryan says, “We are on a knife’s edge… pray for peace.”   China Finds a Use for Dirty Green Energy Trash: Beijing is planting old wind turbine blades in the Gobi Desert to block sand dunes, creating a “New Great Wall of China.” Bryan admits, “It makes me sad to report it, but this one actually works.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump sombrero memes Hakeem Jeffries, JD Vance sombrero quote, Pete Hegseth Pentagon polygraph leaks, screwworm outbreak Mexico Texas beef, Argentina soybeans Milei China sales, Trump tariff farmer bailout, AI nuclear power IEEE report, Trump mineral wars coal leases, Nord Stream pipeline sabotage Zaluzhny, Ukraine Tomahawk missile request Trump, Putin warns U.S. combatant, Chinese mafia Prato Italy fast fashion, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas Qatar Turkey Egypt, China wind turbine blades Gobi Desert

    01 OCT 2025: The US Shutdown: Who’s to Blame? // Fat Chance: Hegseth Blasts America’s Chubby Generals // Immigration Updates // Anti-Obesity Programs Fail, What Might Work?

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 the federal government shutdown, Pete Hegseth’s blunt message to America’s generals, new immigration updates from Chicago to Central America, and surprising global research on obesity. From furloughs in Washington to fat generals at the Pentagon, today’s brief connects politics, security, and science shaping America’s future.   Federal Government Shutdown Begins: Negotiations collapsed after Democrats demanded $1 trillion for health care tied to Biden’s immigration surge. Trump warned, “We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible,” and began cutting federal workers, including 100 FBI agents. Essential services like Social Security remain open, while departments like Labor shutter. Bryan notes, “This shutdown is ultimately about an argument I thought we settled last November.”   Pete Hegseth Calls Out Fat Generals: The Secretary of War unveiled a 10-point plan to toughen the military, starting with weight and fitness standards for all ranks. “It is tiring to look out… at any formation and see fat troops,” Hegseth said. The plan includes tougher boot camp, one combat standard for men and women, and no more promotions based on quotas. Trump joked, “Pete gave a great speech… but I don’t want him to get so good I can’t go on after that.”   Immigration Updates from Chicago to Central America: Four leftist protesters attacked an ICE facility in Chicago, one threatening, “I’ll f------ kill you right now.” In Portland, illegals shined lasers at a CBP helicopter. In Iowa, ICE arrested a school superintendent who was in the country illegally and registered to vote. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports migrants are sending record remittances home — $161 billion projected this year — fearing deportation. Bryan says, “Migrants are getting while the getting is good.”   Obesity Campaigns Fail Worldwide: A new Lancet study found that none of 17 childhood obesity programs worked, even with parental training and nutrition education. French researchers concluded rising caloric intake is the real driver, echoing why drugs like Ozempic work by cutting appetite. Bryan quips, “I put a new picture of Pete Hegseth on my fridge. I’ve already lost five pounds.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: federal government shutdown 2025, Trump irreversible budget cuts quote, FBI agents fired shutdown, Pete Hegseth fat generals 10 point plan, military fitness standards women combat, Chicago ICE attack leftist protesters, Portland illegals laser CBP helicopter, Iowa illegal superintendent voter registration, migrant remittances $161 billion Bloomberg, Lancet obesity study children, French study caloric intake obesity, Ozempic Wegovy appetite suppression

    30 SEPT 2025: Peace in Gaza // Mystery US Planes to Europe // The Pentagon Needs Missiles and Drones Pronto // Russia & China Get Beat Up in Africa, the CIA to Blame?

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan, a mysterious U.S. tanker deployment to Europe, the Pentagon’s scramble for missiles and drones in a possible China war, and Russia and China’s unraveling fortunes in Africa. From a potential breakthrough in the Middle East to covert battles in Africa’s deserts, today’s brief explores the fights shaping America’s security.   Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan Gains Arab Backing: For the first time since the October 7 attacks, Israel, Trump, and key Arab nations have united behind a deal. Hamas must release hostages, disarm, or go into exile while Gaza governance shifts to a Peace Board overseen by Trump and regional leaders. “This is basically the final offer to Hamas: accept it or death,” Bryan explains. Even Arab allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia have signed on, leaving Iran isolated.   U.S. Tankers Deploy to Europe, Iran or Russia in the Crosshairs: Twelve U.S. refueling tankers flew to Britain, echoing prelude movements before Trump’s strike on Iran earlier this year. Possibilities include targeting Iran’s Pick-Axe Mountain nuclear site, sending a warning to Putin after drones crossed NATO skies, or simply NATO’s Cobra Warrior exercise. Bryan notes, “Intel officers always ask, is the juice worth the squeeze?”   Pentagon Short on Missiles and Drones for China: The U.S. has burned through a quarter of its missile interceptors and lags years behind on drone programs. Chinese subcontractors are even supplying critical parts for American weapons. Trump is pushing a mineral war strategy to rebuild U.S. supply chains. Bryan warns, “We don’t have the cards for a quick victory in Taiwan,” and Zelenskyy is offering U.S. training in exchange for Tomahawk missiles Washington can barely spare.   Russia and China Struggle in Africa’s Sahel: Islamist rebels are killing Russian contractors and Chinese workers across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Moscow’s Africa Corps has failed to protect regimes after Wagner’s collapse, while Beijing’s mines and projects are under attack. Elon Musk’s Starlink is fueling rebel communications, and some suspect CIA or Ukrainian forces may be quietly aiding the insurgents. Bryan admits, “I can absolutely envision a scenario where a CIA officer recruits an al Qaeda scumbag to kill Russians and Chinese for us.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas exile, Israel Arab nations Gaza board, Hamas hostages prisoner swap, U.S. refueling tankers Britain Iran strike, Pick-Axe Mountain nuclear site, NATO Cobra Warrior exercise, Pentagon missile shortage drones, Chinese subcontractors U.S. weapons, Trump mineral wars tungsten antimony, Zelenskyy drone deal Tomahawk missiles, Russia Africa Corps failure Wagner, China mines rebels Mali Niger Burkina Faso, Elon Musk Starlink jihadist comms, CIA recruit al Qaeda assets Africa

    29 SEPT 2025: DC Shutdown // Troops to Portland // An Era of US Violence // Dirty Cops & Spies // Guatemalan Kids, Taiwan’s Freedom, Battle for the Pacific, Good Medical News!

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the tragic LDS church attack in Michigan, Trump’s budget showdown in Washington, new federal action against Antifa, updates on James Comey and John Brennan, immigration battles over Guatemalan children, China’s deepening grip on the Pacific, and promising medical research out of California. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Michigan LDS Church Attack: A man drove his car into an LDS church, set it ablaze, and killed members at gunpoint. At least 11 were shot and three are confirmed dead. Early reports suggest the killer’s mother was a church member. Bryan calls it “a very hard morning in Michigan” and urges prayers for the families.   Trump’s Budget Showdown and Supreme Court Ruling: With a government shutdown looming, Trump meets lawmakers knowing he holds the stronger hand. “Trump wins in either case,” the Washington Post observed, since a shutdown gives him unilateral power to cut programs and staff. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court ruled he can withhold $4 billion in foreign aid, pushing executive power back to Jeffersonian levels.   Antifa Declared Terror Group and Troops Sent to Portland: Days after Trump designated Antifa as domestic terrorists, he ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen to Portland. “I am authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump posted, after repeated ICE attacks. AG Pam Bondi said, “We’re witnessing a new era of political violence,” vowing to use Joint Terrorism Task Forces to dismantle leftist extremists.   Comey Indictment and Brennan Warnings: James Comey’s indictment centers on whether he lied under oath about leaking FBI documents. His own lawyer admitted to helping him “get information out” to the press. Trump says “there will be others” prosecuted, with Brennan admitting he may be next but insisting his actions were “consistent with the law.”   Guatemalan Parents Reject Their Children: Tens of thousands of kids trafficked north under Biden remain in U.S. custody after Guatemalan parents refused to take them back. Bryan asks if taxpayers should now become “the world’s orphanage.”   China Expands Grip in the Pacific: Trump considers shifting U.S. policy to “oppose” Taiwanese independence, aligning closer with Xi. Beijing secured a policing deal in Vanuatu and continues buying influence in the Solomons. Reuters reports China is even training villagers to spy on neighbors, reviving Mao-era tactics.   Medical News from California: UC Irvine and UC San Diego researchers reversed vision loss in mice using polyunsaturated fatty acid injections, opening potential therapies for age-related macular degeneration. Bryan jokes, “If you’re the first to ditch reader glasses, I demand you tell me about it.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Michigan LDS church shooting fire, Trump government shutdown budget fight, Supreme Court foreign aid ruling, Antifa domestic terror Portland National Guard, AG Pam Bondi political violence JTTF, James Comey indictment leaks oath, John Brennan CIA Russia ICA testimony, Guatemalan migrant children deportation refusal, Trump Taiwan independence oppose policy, China policing deal Vanuatu Solomon Islands influence, UC Irvine UC San Diego macular degeneration fatty acids

    26 SEPT 2025: James Comey Indicted // USMIL Leaders Called to Pentagon // Soros Investigated // Latest on Ice Attacks // Dems Protect NY Prisoners // A.I. Secrets // Global Tease!

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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, we cover the indictment of James Comey, a national DOJ investigation into George Soros, Pete Hegseth’s extraordinary call for all generals to return to Virginia, Trump’s warning to Democrats about pushing conservatives too far, and headline updates on tariffs, green energy, AI, and global flashpoints. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   James Comey Indicted: The former FBI director faces charges of false statements and obstruction of justice. Trump pushed prosecutors to act before the statute of limitations expired, insisting Comey’s role in Crossfire Hurricane was “a coup” against the elected government. Bryan argued, “James Comey deserves the death penalty… it would be a righteous and correct judgment.”   DOJ Targets Soros’s Open Society Foundations: At least seven U.S. attorneys will probe Soros funding networks for alleged terrorism support, arson, fraud, and racketeering. Bryan compares the crackdown to federal efforts in the 1960s and 70s against the Weather Underground.   Pentagon Showdown Next Week: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned every U.S. general and admiral worldwide to a meeting in Virginia as Trump demands a 20 percent cut in four-star officers. Politico reports many senior leaders are unhappy with the rebrand to the Department of War.   Trump Warns Democrats on Violence: After MSNBC and the John Brown Gun Club suggested ICE agents “deserved” recent attacks, Trump warned, “The Left better not get the Right energized because it won’t be good for the Left.”   Turning Point Rejects Kimmel’s ‘Apology’: Spokesman Andrew Kolve said, “What we need is, ‘I’m sorry, I lied, I was wrong, and I won’t do it again.’ Otherwise… his political agenda is more important than the life of my friend who was just taken from us.”   Dallas Shooter Update: The killer searched “Charlie Kirk shot video” while planning his ICE attack, suggesting a copycat killing. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed he used Democrat-developed tracking apps to stalk ICE agents.   NYC Worker Punished for Helping ICE: A city staffer was retrained after reporting two criminal illegals to ICE, violating sanctuary laws that protect even convicted felons from deportation. Bryan called it “diabolical.” Tariff Cheaters and Whirlpool’s Complaint: Appliance makers are under DOJ investigation for undervaluing imports to dodge tariffs, costing U.S. producers.   Green Energy Failures: California’s $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar farm is shutting down after killing 6,000 birds annually. Bryan added, “That’s wonderful news for the birds.”   AI Revolution Goes Federal: Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is now the U.S. government’s official AI system, including for secret agencies, despite studies showing AI is unreliable and prone to lying.   Global Watch for the Weekend: Farmers furious at Argentina selling soybeans to China, European leaders ready to shoot down Russian aircraft, Britain exploring digital IDs, Tony Blair offering to run Gaza, and new medical studies on obesity, eye health, and aging.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: James Comey indictment Crossfire Hurricane, Trump DOJ Lindsey Halligan Erik Seibert, Comey Steele Dossier coup, DOJ Soros Open Society terrorism probe, Pete Hegseth Pentagon generals meeting, Trump warning Democrats violence ICE, John Brown Gun Club Hey Fascist Catch, Turning Point rejects Jimmy Kimmel apology, Dallas ICE shooter Charlie Kirk copycat, Kash Patel ICE tracking apps, NYC sanctuary laws ICE prisons, Whirlpool tariff cheating DOJ, Ivanpah solar farm shutdown bird deaths, Elon Musk Grok chatbot federal contract, Sam Altman AI smarter than humans, Argentina soybeans China, Europe NATO Russian jets, UK digital ID program, Tony Blair Gaza Strip, Greta Thunberg Gaza flotilla hacked ABBA

    25 SEPT 2025: ICE Attack in Texas: The Ammo Clip & Secret On-Line Platforms // Gov. Newsom Attacks ICE (To Build His Power?) // AI Revolution: A Trillion Dollar Bet // Advice on Medicines & the Gut

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Gavin Newsom’s taunts against federal immigration agents, a trillion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence, and surprising medical news about how common drugs damage the gut. From political violence in Dallas to AI schemes and gut health science, today’s brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America’s future.   ICE Facility Shooting in Dallas: Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE building with a Mauser-style rifle, killing one illegal alien and injuring two others before taking his own life. He left behind ammo marked “Anti-ICE” and had ties to Communist views similar to his leftist sister. Bryan warns the pattern echoes other recent attacks: “From Trump’s assassin in Butler, PA… to Charlie Kirk’s killer… these platforms like Steam and Discord are being used to groom young men into violence.”   Newsom Taunts ICE After Signing Five Bills: California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “To ICE, unmask yourselves. What are you afraid of?” on Colbert’s show, less than 24 hours before the Dallas attack. Leftist groups in California are doxxing ICE officers with help from AI activists in Europe, while Democrats push to weaken federal deportation powers. Bryan argues this is about political power, not civil rights: “Schumer and Pelosi said it themselves — they want illegals turned into citizens for votes and control.”   The AI Revolution’s Cost and Scheming Risks: OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank pledged $500 billion for new U.S. data centers, with utilities warning of grid strain and soaring bills. While AI is helping detect Parkinson’s and cancers, researchers admit models are “scheming” — purposely failing to hide competence. Bryan quips, “We’re spending a trillion dollars to create systems that lie, hallucinate, and dumb down doctors.”   Common Medications Alter Gut Health for Years: Estonian researchers found antidepressants, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and benzodiazepines disrupt the gut microbiome as severely as antibiotics. Effects persist long after use, raising risks for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Bryan advises, “If you’re on meds, don’t forget about your belly — diet, sleep, and exercise matter.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dallas ICE facility shooting Joshua Jahn, Anti-ICE ammo Mauser rifle, Discord Steam radicalization grooming, Gavin Newsom Colbert ICE taunt, California ICE officer doxxing AI, Schumer Pelosi immigration citizenship votes, OpenAI Oracle SoftBank Stargate $500B, AI data center electricity water grid strain, AI scheming OpenAI ChatGPT, Estonia gut microbiome drugs study, antidepressants beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors benzos, long-term gut health risks cancer Alzheimer’s

    24 SEPT 2025: Crackdown on Free Speech: Biden Worse Than Trump? // Sabotage in NYC // “Malfunctions” at the UN // Trump Blasts Global Elite // Q&A: Left vs. Right Violence

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 Jimmy Kimmel’s disputed return to television, a plot to disable New York City’s cell network as Trump spoke at the UN, and fresh data showing who really commits the most political violence in America. From free speech battles to global threats and a debate over Left vs. Right violence, today’s brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America’s future.   Jimmy Kimmel’s Return and Free Speech Debate: Democrats celebrated Kimmel’s return, calling his suspension “the worst government attack on free speech in generations.” CNN’s Jake Tapper said it was “the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I’ve seen in my lifetime.” But YouTube admitted Biden’s White House pressured them to silence millions of Americans, including Charlie Kirk, proving censorship was far broader than Kimmel’s case. Sinclair and Nexstar still refused to air Kimmel without an apology, sparking threats from Democrats to break up the networks.   Trump Stuck on UN Escalator and Plots in New York: Security failures left Trump and the First Lady stranded on an escalator before his UN speech, followed by a mic and teleprompter outage. “What is the purpose of the United Nations? … A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump quipped. Meanwhile, authorities uncovered a clandestine device network capable of shutting down NYC’s cell service, calling it an “imminent threat” from foreign state actors. Trump’s speech then blasted Venezuela’s cartels, Europe’s immigration and energy policies, Russia’s war, and calls for Palestinian statehood — declaring of Europe, “Your countries are going to hell.”   Left vs. Right Violence — Who Commits More: Listener Wendy asked who really drives political violence. The Atlantic reported on new CSIS data finding “this year — 2025 — marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.” Bryan points to Antifa and Marxist groups as proof the Left’s war is escalating, reminding listeners: “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you’re to be targeted.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel suspension FCC free speech, CNN Jake Tapper free speech quote, YouTube Biden censorship admission, Sinclair Nexstar Kimmel broadcast, Trump UN escalator teleprompter failure, NYC cell network plot foreign state actors, Trump UN speech Venezuela cartels, Trump Europe immigration climate hoax, Trump NATO shoot down Russia jets, Gaza Palestinian state recognition, Wendy listener question political violence, CSIS study left-wing terrorism rise, The Atlantic left-wing attacks 2025

    23 SEPT 2025: Jimmy Kimmel Is Back on TV — and Some Republicans Are Thrilled // Supreme Court Rocks Legal World — and Our Country // Tough Times for Us Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers // Tylenol and Autism: A Link?

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial return to television, a Supreme Court ruling that could reshape presidential power, the growing struggles of America’s farmers and truckers, and new White House warnings about Tylenol and autism. From free speech fights to medical debates, today’s brief connects culture, politics, and science shaping America’s future.   Jimmy Kimmel Returns to Air with FCC Debate: Disney announced Kimmel would return, calling his remarks “ill-timed and insensitive” but not admitting his claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassin were lies. Sinclair caved after death threats, canceling a Kirk tribute and airing Kimmel again. Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz blasted Trump’s FCC for even raising news distortion, with Cruz comparing it to “Goodfellas.” Bryan warned, “We cannot sit down with the modern Democrat party… they assassinate people who get in the way — like Charlie Kirk.”   Supreme Court Expands Presidential Power: In a 6–3 decision, the Court allowed Trump to fire a Democrat FTC commissioner while hearing the full case in December. The ruling challenges the 1935 precedent limiting executive power. Bryan explains it could restore Jefferson-style authority, including presidential impoundment of spending. “Welcome to the new version of American democracy… it’s a bit of a mess right now.”   Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers Under Pressure: New screwworm cases in northern Mexico threaten U.S. cattle herds already at historic lows. Soybean farmers face collapse as Xi stops buying American crops, while truckers lose money under depressed rates and costly California regulations. Bryan calls for revoking visas of foreign drivers who “can’t read or speak English and are killing people on the road.”   White House Links Tylenol to Autism: Trump’s HHS and FDA advised pregnant women to limit acetaminophen after new studies showed it can cross the placenta, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt brain development. Critics called the claims weak, but Bryan compared it to past medical dogmas debunked by Dr. Barry Marshall, who proved ulcers were caused by bacteria: “Quite literally the entire world of Medical Science was wrong. That one doctor was right.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC news distortion, Rand Paul Ted Cruz Goodfellas FCC quote, Sinclair cancels Charlie Kirk tribute, Supreme Court Trump FTC ruling, presidential impoundment Jefferson precedent, U.S. screwworm outbreak Nuevo Leon, U.S. soybean farmers China ban, trucker wages California EV mandate, Trump revoke foreign trucker visas, Trump HHS FDA Tylenol autism warning, acetaminophen oxidative stress fetus, Dr. Barry Marshall ulcer Nobel Prize
