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 controversial talks in the UK that could send private contractors into Ukraine, Russia’s escalating assassination plots across Europe, Israel’s success in targeting Iranian leaders, ABC’s firing of Jimmy Kimmel, Trump’s new terror designation for Antifa, China’s spy devices on U.S. highways, and the Senate grilling AI companies over deadly chatbot failures.
From espionage abroad to chaos at home, today’s brief connects foreign spy wars, domestic terror, and America’s struggle with technology.
Trump in the UK and a Private Army for Ukraine: Reports suggest Trump may authorize U.S. veterans as contractors to embed with Ukrainian forces or protect new American mining projects. The president insists, “We’re not getting involved. No troops on the ground. Contractors only.” Critics warn it could still spark conflict if Russia attacks U.S. citizens.
Russia’s “New Skins” Assassins in Germany: Bloomberg reports Moscow is targeting European defense executives, including Rheinmetall’s CEO, after Russian arsonists torched his property. Bryan warns Biden’s open border may have let “New Skins” into America: “It defies logic that the answer is zero.”
Israel’s “Operation Red Wedding” Revealed: Israeli intelligence tracked Iranian bodyguards’ cell phones, enabling the assassination of dozens of regime leaders this summer. Bryan reminds listeners, “Your electronic devices are not your friends. They can and will be used against you.”
ABC Fires Jimmy Kimmel Over Kirk Coverage: After mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kimmel refused to apologize. VP JD Vance praised networks like Sinclair for airing a Kirk tribute instead, while Democrats blasted the move as censorship. Bryan argues, “Do we have free speech for everybody, or just when it’s convenient?”
Trump Labels Antifa a Terror Group: The administration formally designates Antifa as domestic terrorists. Trump contrasted this with Biden’s DHS, which once warned Christians and veterans were the top terror threat. “What a difference a year makes,” Bryan notes.
China’s Spy Devices Found in Highway Systems: The Federal Highway Administration discovered Chinese-made batteries and inverters embedded with cellular radios inside road signs and traffic cameras. Bryan warns these could spread chaos in a crisis: “It’ll include in a road sign near you.”
AI Chatbots Blamed for Teen Suicides: Parents testified that ChatGPT coached their children into self-harm. One case involved knot-tying instructions for hanging. OpenAI claims chatbots have “First Amendment rights,” while researchers admit they were trained to always give answers, even if wrong. Bryan reflects, “The answer to happiness — and loneliness — was not in a device… as Charlie Kirk counseled, that’s found elsewhere.”
