In this special Independence Day episode of The Wright Report, we journey back in time to July 4th, 1967, and share the poignant tale of Hugh Francis Redmond. Accused of being a CIA officer and subjected to a 15-year sentence in a Chinese prison, Redmond’s life and his cryptic disappearance remain shrouded in mystery. His letters from prison, his unwavering love for his family and country, and the circumstances leading to his alleged suicide form the heart of our narrative. This moving story is a tribute to Redmond’s sacrifice and embodies the spirit of patriotism.

Trump’s Vietnam Trade Deal Squeezes China
President Trump inks a deal with Vietnam that lowers tariffs for goods made entirely in-country but hikes them for products involving Chinese parts. The strategy, already seen in UK trade talks, aims to boost U.S. exports while isolating China from global supply chains.

Wyoming Rare Earth Find Could Weaken China’s Grip
A new mine in Wyoming, free of radioactive contaminants, is set to produce 3% of U.S. rare earth needs. It’s a small step, but one supported by parallel efforts in Texas, California, Nebraska, and allied nations like Canada and Brazil.

USAID Shut Down and Folded Into State Department
The U.S. Agency for International Development is officially closed. 80% of its grants are canceled, and the rest will be directed by the State Department. The White House says it’s a cost-cutting move and cites political bias at the agency, which historically donated heavily to Democrats.

Amazon’s 1 Millionth Robot Signals Workforce Shift
Amazon hits a milestone in AI and robotics deployment. Though the company claims productivity has improved, CEO Andy Jassy confirms the long-term trend is toward a smaller human workforce. Experts warn that emerging AI systems increasingly lie and blackmail when they sense replacement.

Hershey Joins Industry in Ditching Artificial Dyes
Following the lead of companies like General Mills and Heinz, Hershey will remove synthetic dyes from products by 2027, as part of a broader trend toward cleaner foods.

Parkinson’s Breakthrough: Gut and Mouth Bacteria Offer Early Warning
New research from King’s College London finds that changes in oral and gut microbiomes may predict the early onset of Parkinson’s. A diagnostic test is in development, with prebiotic-rich diets and oral hygiene suggested as first-line prevention.

Iran Acknowledges Major Damage from U.S. Strike
Iran’s foreign minister admits that Fordow and other nuclear sites were “seriously and heavily damaged” by Trump’s Operation Midnight Hammer. Tehran is now expelling international inspectors and cracking down on suspected Western spies with public paranoia, checkpoints, and mass arrests.

Australia Retreats on Methane Cuts from Livestock
After years of failed efforts to reduce methane from cows and sheep, Australia is rolling back its emissions goals. Officials admit selective breeding and feed additives produced zero results. Bryan reminds listeners that China remains the largest global emitter.

Colombia Confirms Discovery of the $20 Billion San Jose Shipwreck
New analysis of coins found at the wreck site proves it is the legendary Spanish galleon that sank in 1708 with treasure equivalent to $20 billion today. A legal battle looms over ownership, with claims from Spain, Colombia, U.S. firms, and Indigenous Bolivians.

Operation Midnight Hammer: Did It Truly Cripple Iran’s Nuclear Program?
New reports from the IAEA and U.S. intel show conflicting views on how much damage the U.S. and Israel inflicted on Iran’s nuclear efforts. Bryan uses a Skittles analogy to explain uranium enrichment and assess whether Iran can rebuild. While key facilities were destroyed, Iran’s knowledge and possible secret sites remain major concerns.

Supreme Court Issues Three Major Rulings with Explosive Dissent
The Court upholds Texas’ right to require age verification for adult websites, affirms parents’ rights to exempt their kids from LGBT curriculum, and limits nationwide injunctions, undercutting past legal blockades against Trump. The majority harshly criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, sparking discussion over judicial competence and even murmurs of removal from the bench.

NYC Mayoral Candidate Sparks Uproar with Race-Based Tax Proposal
Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes shifting taxes from minority neighborhoods to “richer, whiter” areas and calls for abolishing billionaires. Critics demand his denaturalization, citing possible Marxist affiliations at the time of his U.S. citizenship. Bryan suggests the DOJ investigate whether he should be stripped of his citizenship under federal law.

Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday’s Headline Brief as he covers the top stories shaping America and the world.

Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment
A leaked report suggesting Trump’s Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation’s major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen.

Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels
President Trump’s tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation.

GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback
China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family’s $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it’s possible—just not fancy.

Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles
Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico’s cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change.

China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S.
Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump’s team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear.

Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects
Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy.

Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down
Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump’s deep spending cuts.

Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts
Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it’s enforcing the Constitution.

New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries
Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren’t their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan. Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent.

Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles
Trump’s administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border “gotaways,” down from 700 under Biden.

Congress Investigates Biden’s Auto-Pen Presidency
Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden’s decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena.

Public Trust in News Plummets as Podcasts Rise
Only 11 to 16 percent of Americans trust traditional media. Young men turn to podcasts, while women prefer social media. Bryan reflects on the risks of both legacy and new media, calling for critical thinking and personal responsibility in news consumption.

New Intel Confirms Iran’s Nuclear Program Crippled
U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirm with high confidence that Iran’s three major nuclear facilities were destroyed in Trump’s recent strike. The enriched uranium is believed to be entombed, though not entirely accounted for, with concerns mounting about a possible hidden site under “Pick-axe Mountain.” Trump says he may not need a peace deal at all, though inspections could still be critical.

Iranian Sleeper Cells Arrested in the U.S.
Federal authorities arrest 11 Iranian nationals across the country, including an ex-sniper in Alabama and a Hezbollah-linked man in Minnesota. The arrests come amid heightened fears of retaliation and infiltration following the Iran strike.

Media and Deep State Under Fire
Bryan criticizes CNN and The New York Times for spreading a low-confidence intel leak that contradicted broader assessments of the strike’s success. He also exposes former FBI Director Christopher Wray for allegedly burying 2020 election interference evidence involving a Chinese operation to help Joe Biden. Wray is now under investigation.

New York City’s Leading Mayoral Candidate Sparks Alarm
Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist, proposes radical policies including defunding police, legalizing prostitution, socializing grocery stores, and seizing apartments. Jewish groups and business leaders warn of severe consequences if he wins, while progressives like Ilhan Omar praise his candidacy.

Missouri and Oklahoma Lead U.S. Mineral Comeback
The two states are reviving domestic production of rare earths, cobalt, and other critical minerals once dominated by China. With government support, these states are building refining facilities, battery plants, and recycling operations that could eventually break U.S. dependence on foreign supplies.

Trump’s Iran Strike Faces Scrutiny as Intel Leaks Question Impact
CNN and The New York Times report that Trump’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities may have fallen short, citing a leaked low-confidence DIA assessment that claims underground infrastructure and uranium stockpiles survived. Trump and the IAEA dispute the report, with Trump calling it a politically motivated leak and emphasizing the damage done to Iran’s nuclear program.

Tensions Rise Between Trump and Netanyahu

Iran’s Oil and China’s Role in Peace Strategy
Trump suggests China can resume buying Iranian oil, potentially as leverage to get Beijing to pressure Tehran into giving up its nuclear program. Chinese state media hints at such a possibility, revealing a new layer to the post-strike diplomacy.

U.S. Navy Ammo Supply Worries Mount
The U.S. Navy is burning through its SM-3 interceptor missiles at an “alarming rate” defending Israel. Manufacturing constraints and dependence on Chinese rare earth minerals are straining U.S. military readiness, raising concerns about preparedness for a wider war.

FBI Shifts Focus from Immigration to Iran Sleeper Cells
In response to potential retaliation from Iran, the FBI is redirecting resources to counterterrorism. Past plots by Hezbollah operatives in the U.S. and recent international examples highlight the real and growing threat.

Deputy Mayor in LA Calls for Gang Uprising Against ICE

Trump Pressures NATO at Dutch Summit, Spain Resists
President Trump arrives at the NATO summit in a foul mood, angry over Spain’s refusal to meet his 5% defense spending demand. He warns that protection under Article 5 could be reconsidered and makes clear that NATO bureaucracy is over. Trump received royal accommodations and shortened meetings to his liking.

UK Confronts China and its Own Pedophile Cover-up
