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 President Trump lashes out at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for a post-ceasefire bombing run, accusing him of nearly sabotaging the peace deal. Trump also pressed Qatar to rein in Iran, warning both sides that Operation Midnight Hammer and the subsequent ceasefire are his personal diplomatic achievements. 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 Cudahy Deputy Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez publicly called on Hispanic gangs to defend their "turf" by fighting ICE agents. The FBI is now investigating her, and Bryan shares her public contact information so listeners can respond with professional, civil feedback. 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 MI5 and MI6 receive nearly a billion dollars to counter China, following a major threat audit. Meanwhile, a long-suppressed report confirms Muslim pedophile gangs operated for decades in the UK, with officials covering it up out of political correctness.

Trump Declares Iran War Over, But Violence Continues President Trump announces a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, marking the end of what he calls "The 12-Day War." However, hours later, Iran fires missiles into Israel, killing civilians and casting doubt on the truce. Trump credits intense negotiations, a coordinated missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, and backchannel diplomacy with Qatar for securing peace, though federal agencies are still bracing for cyberattacks and sleeper cell threats. Iran's Military Crippled, Supreme Leader Marginalized Israel's extensive bombing campaign has left Iran's military and missile infrastructure devastated. The Fordow nuclear site is believed to be inoperable, and Tehran's airspace has been compromised. Trump warns Iran and its allies not to test American resolve, while U.S. intelligence keeps close watch on potential "loose nuke" material and foreign meddling from Russia or China. Supreme Court Sides with Trump on Deportation Powers The Court allows the deportation of illegal immigrants to countries that are not their homeland, marking a win for the White House and a relief for ICE agents stranded in Djibouti. However, a Democrat judge in Boston defies the ruling, creating legal chaos. Florida responds by building a new migrant facility in the Everglades, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz." Mexican Mayor Praises Trump's Border Plan The mayor of Nogales, Mexico, endorses Trump's deportation strategy, saying it brings order and coordination that benefits border communities. Meanwhile, revelations emerge that leftist protestors are being hired through companies like Crowds on Demand to disrupt immigration enforcement. Violence Against ICE Agents Surges DHS reports a 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers. Officials and family members are being doxxed, attacked, and harassed, as Democratic leaders call ICE a "secret police" and demand agents show their identities while defending protestors' rights to wear masks. Nebraskans Line Up to Work in Meatpacking. No Migrants Needed A new beef processing plant in North Platte, Nebraska, is drawing strong interest from American workers with 2,000 applicants for 850 jobs. Workers like Angela Jones are earning $25 an hour with benefits, challenging the narrative that Americans won't take "dirty jobs."

Trump Launches Massive Airstrike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities On Saturday night, U.S. forces struck Iran's nuclear sites at Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow using Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers with bunker-busting MOPs. The operation aimed to halt Iran's growing nuclear threat without seeking regime change. The Lead-Up: Peace Talks Failed, Iran Accelerated Toward the Bomb Despite last-minute efforts, peace negotiations collapsed when Iran's Supreme Leader couldn't be reached. U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirmed Iran was accelerating weapons development, missile programs, and plans for a potential strike on Israel. The Strike Plan: 125 Aircraft and Precision Targeting The operation involved over 125 U.S. aircraft and coordination with Israeli and Arab allies. All aircraft returned safely. Early satellite imagery confirms severe damage to nuclear facilities, though some equipment may have been smuggled out to China before the attack. Iran's Response: Missile Strikes, Terror Threats, and Strait of Hormuz Threat Iran fired missiles into Israeli cities, injuring civilians, and warned of sleeper cell attacks in the West. Its parliament is considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil passage, which could trigger wider war. Russia, China, and Europe React Russia threatens to provide Iran with nuclear warheads. France warns of Iranian terror cells in Europe. The U.S. and Arab allies brace for retaliation while some quietly support Israel's actions. U.S. Homeland at Risk from Sleeper Cells FBI Director Kash Patel ramps up counterterror operations, especially with concerns about Iranian saboteurs among the millions of unvetted illegal immigrants. Border Czar Tom Homan blames Biden-era immigration for the heightened risk. What Comes Next: Regime Change, Retaliation, or Peace? President Trump insists regime change is not the goal, though he hints at it. Arab leaders back Israel privately. Europe fears a terror wave. America must now prepare for blowback, both at home and abroad. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32 Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Today's episode delivers rapid-fire coverage of the top global and domestic developments shaping America and the world. FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran's Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged. Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base's new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns. Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action Trump's updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement. Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump's goal of letting regional players secure their own territory. Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback. Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters. Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates. Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss. Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns. Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico's more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada's confrontational approach. New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

Trump Approves Iran Attack Plan While Israel Intensifies Bombing President Trump has privately approved an attack plan for Iran, likely targeting the Fordow nuclear site, though he is delaying execution in hopes of a last-minute peace deal. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue throughout Tehran, including the destruction of Iran's internal police headquarters. The UN reports that Iran's highly enriched uranium is missing following the bombings, raising fears of further escalation or a nuclear breakout. Rwanda and Congo Peace Deal Secured Through U.S. Mediation Decades of conflict between Rwanda and the Congo may finally end with a peace agreement set to be signed in Washington, D.C., on June 27. The deal, brokered with help from President Trump, could shift access to critical minerals like cobalt and rare earths away from China and into U.S.-aligned hands. Mineral Wars Continue: U.S. Scrambles for Antimony Supplies Amid a growing battery and defense crisis, China has cut exports of antimony, a critical metal used in everything from missiles to solar panels. The U.S. is now trying to revive an old mine in Idaho that supplied antimony during World War II. Industry officials are calling it a national emergency. Flesh-Eating Screwworm Threatens U.S. Cattle Industry A parasitic fly larva known as the screwworm is advancing from Panama into Mexico, endangering America's already strained beef supply. The Trump administration has launched a major containment effort, including building sterile fly facilities in Texas and Mexico to stop the spread. Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee Ban on Transgender Procedures for Minors The Court rules 6–3 in favor of Tennessee's law banning gender-related medical treatments for children. Chief Justice Roberts writes that the law protects minors based on age, not sex, and criticizes the "expert class" for ideological bias. The ruling puts decisions about such treatments in the hands of voters and state legislatures, not judges or federal regulators.

Trump Demands Iran's Surrender as U.S. and Israeli Pressure Mounts President Trump tells the Ayatollah to surrender unconditionally, warning that his location is known and he could be targeted. Meanwhile, U.S. fighter jets arrive in the region and Israel kills Iran's new war commander just four days into the job. Mossad continues its AI-powered campaign, using digital exhaust to track and eliminate key Iranian figures. China's Mysterious Cargo Flights and Strategic Interests A Boeing 747 cargo plane has been rerouted from Europe to Iran multiple times this week, raising suspicions that China is supplying Tehran with drones or military equipment in exchange for discounted oil and methanol. Bryan explains how Beijing's covert support could backfire diplomatically across the Arab world. Congress Pushes Back Against Presidential War Powers Lawmakers from both parties, including Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, propose legislation to require Trump to seek congressional approval before launching offensive military operations. America's Border Holds the Line, Californians Push Back on Benefits for Illegals Border Patrol releases zero illegal migrants into the U.S. in May, a dramatic turnaround from Biden-era figures. In California, support for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants drops sharply after the Medi-Cal system nearly collapses.

Trump Urges Evacuation of Tehran as U.S. Military Assets Move In President Trump calls for Tehran's 17 million residents to evacuate as the USS Nimitz and 31 refueling aircraft reposition toward the Middle East. Trump warns Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and says the U.S. will stay out of the war unless American assets are attacked. Iran's Ayatollah is now urgently seeking peace talks through Arab and Russian intermediaries. Israel Escalates Strikes, Iran's Military Decimated Israeli forces continue bombing Tehran and key military targets. Mossad agents have eliminated top commanders and scientists. Iran's air defenses remain crippled and its missile transport fleet is heavily damaged. Only Fordow, Iran's deepest nuclear site, remains intact. Zelenskyy Asks Trump for Weapons, China Disrupts Supply Chains At a global summit in Canada, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy pleads for U.S. arms. Trump is hesitant, partly due to China's squeeze on rare earth minerals critical to defense production. Although some exports resumed, licenses are limited, and military-grade minerals like samarium remain blocked. America's Rare Earth Emergency and Domestic Production Push Trump may invoke Cold War-era laws to jumpstart domestic rare earth mining in states like Wyoming, California, and Texas. A $120 million loan for a Greenland project signals the urgency of ending China's control over the supply chain. Confusion Over Trump's Immigration Orders Trump calls for ramped-up ICE raids in sanctuary cities but had paused enforcement at farms and hotels just days earlier. Following backlash from business and agriculture, the administration reversed course, then appeared to reconsider again.

Israel-Iran War Escalates as Trump Weighs U.S. Involvement Over the past 72 hours, Israel has launched a sweeping campaign against Iran, killing over 100 senior Iranian leaders, destroying nuclear facilities, and crippling oil and gas infrastructure. President Trump has so far declined to join the conflict, though the White House is considering using American bunker-buster bombs on Iran's deeply buried Fordow nuclear site. Bryan explores the risks of U.S. involvement, including regime change, retaliation, and nuclear breakout threats. Assassination Manhunt in Minnesota The FBI continues its search for Vance Boelter, accused of killing a state representative and her husband and wounding another lawmaker. His wife was detained with weapons and passports but later released. A manifesto was found, and both political parties are implicated in his affiliations. No Kings Protests Turn Violent, Funding Traced to Global Leftist Donors Protests marking the Army's 250th birthday turned deadly in several cities. Violence erupted in Salt Lake City, Virginia, and especially Los Angeles. One group, identifying as a Hamas Marxist movement, is behind some of the chaos. Investigations trace funding to billionaire Neville Roy Singham, George Soros, and U.S. labor unions. Vitamin D Offers Hope for Breast Cancer Patients New research from Brazil shows that a daily 2,000 IU dose of vitamin D can boost chemotherapy effectiveness for women with breast cancer.
