Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.

Chinese Mobsters Running Illegal Pot Grows Tied to Communist Party – A new investigation reveals deep links between Chinese nationals running illegal marijuana operations in Maine and the Chinese Communist Party. The operations, near U.S. military sites, raise fears of espionage, sabotage, and covert influence campaigns.

Trump Admin Expands “Cash for Departure” Program – Migrants who voluntarily leave the U.S. could receive $1,000 under a new DHS policy aimed at reducing deportation costs. Inspired by Sweden’s $34,000 offer to migrants, the move tests whether financial incentives can reverse illegal immigration trends.

Sweden’s Migration Crisis Turns Violent – Three killed in a gang shootout in a Swedish barbershop, highlighting escalating violence linked to foreign gangs like Foxtrot and Rumba. Sweden’s PM blames failed integration and vows mass removals.

Middle East on Edge: Israel Readies for Full Gaza Occupation – Netanyahu signals a ten-day deadline for Hamas to make peace, or face total military takeover of Gaza. Israeli forces also escalate strikes on Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and regime targets in Syria.

Ukraine Drone Boats Shoot Down Russian Jets – In a historic first, Ukrainian sea drones fire U.S.-supplied missiles to down two Russian fighter jets. The Pentagon responds by fast-tracking a $36B drone overhaul for the U.S. Army.

AI Calls for Grandma: New App Replaces Family Phone Time – A $25/month AI service now phones the elderly daily, checks on their mood, and reports back to families. Bryan explores the ethics, surveillance risks, and sad realities of replacing human connection with artificial friends.

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
