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 arrest of Charlie Kirk’s assassin and the ideological forces behind the murder, plus global updates from Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Poland, and Nepal.

From the tragedy in Utah to AI choosing world leaders, today’s brief brings the facts you need to understand America’s crossroads at home and abroad.

Charlie Kirk Assassin Arrested:
Utah officials confirmed 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to family and friends after FBI photos, his car, and his leftist ideology tied him to the crime. His boyfriend, Lance “Luna” Twiggs, is cooperating with investigators, raising questions about extremist networks in Utah. Erika Kirk vowed Turning Point USA will continue, declaring, “You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife… We will never surrender.” Polls now show 24% of very liberal Democrats say they take joy in political killings - 20% are unsure if they should.

Political Divide Over Violence:
Republicans launch a special committee to probe leftist violence, while Democrats dismiss ideology as a motive. Senator Brian Schatz argued, “What f’ing difference does it make if this murderer was left or right.” Utah’s Governor Cox blamed the internet, while Illinois’ Governor Pritzker pointed at Trump. Bryan warns, “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you’re to be targeted.”

Iran’s Nuclear Program Weakened but Not Dead:
Israeli intel confirms Trump’s strikes crippled Tehran’s enrichment capacity for years, though knowledge and equipment remain. Israel’s defenses, however, are drained and need time to recover, meaning future operations will likely be covert.

Israel Rules Out Palestinian State:
Prime Minister Netanyahu announced, “There will never be a Palestinian state. This place is ours.” Trump’s administration is weighing a U.S.-run Gaza plan that would pay Palestinians to leave, though it has already been rejected by Arab powers.

Russian Drones Probe NATO Airspace:
Dozens of Russian drones crossed into Poland and Romania, triggering NATO alerts. Trump suggested it was a mistake, but Poland’s president insisted, “We know it wasn’t.” Zelenskyy pressed NATO to shoot intruding drones down next time.

AI Picks New Leaders in Nepal and Beyond:
After protests toppled Nepal’s communist PM, students asked ChatGPT to name a successor. The AI chose former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, now sworn in as interim prime minister. Asked who should lead America, ChatGPT named Michelle Obama and Cory Booker, dismissing JD Vance as “too polarizing.” Bryan warns, “Seems like something we should watch… since AI is choosing our leaders now.”

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 new details on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, major economic signals ahead of a Fed decision, Senate Republicans’ “nuclear option” on confirmations, Trump’s crackdown on drug ads, immigration fallout with South Korea, and global headlines from Sweden, Germany, and North Korea.

Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.

Charlie Kirk’s Final Flight and Killer Hunt:
VP JD Vance escorted Kirk’s body home on Air Force Two, calling him “a true friend” and vowing, “You ran a good race, my friend. We’ve got it from here.” Investigators recovered a Mauser rifle and cartridges allegedly marked with Antifa and transgender slogans. The assassin, still at large, is described as a man in his mid-20s.

Economic Warning Lights:
Producer inflation drops as businesses eat tariff costs, but jobless claims hit a four-year high. Analysts expect a quarter- to half-point Fed rate cut next week.

Senate GOP Fast-Tracks Trump Nominees:
Republicans changed rules to bypass Democrat obstruction, clearing the way for 150 stalled executive branch picks. Judicial nominees remain vulnerable to Democrat blockades.

Trump Targets Big Pharma Ads:
An executive order ends the 1997 loophole allowing short TV drug ads. Pharma may face five-minute disclosures, threatening billions in ad revenue for networks like CNN and Fox.

Immigration Fallout with South Korea:
Hyundai’s Korean workers arrested in Georgia say they warned bosses their visas were illegal. Seoul warns investment may cool without faster visa reform, while Trump explores expedited paths for specialized labor.

Sweden’s Child Hitmen and Migrant Payoffs:
Gangs recruit boys as young as 12 to kill, exploiting loopholes in juvenile law. Sweden will lower prosecution age and pay $34K per migrant to return home.

Germany’s Migrant Dilemma:
Only 1,300 of 1 million Syrian migrants accepted $1,500 to leave. Meanwhile, 80,000 a year gain citizenship, fueling AfD’s rise.

North Korea Intrigue and U.S. Ops:
Kim Jong Un parades his 12-year-old daughter as heir, though his son may be hidden abroad. A failed SEAL Team 6 mission six years ago revealed how close the U.S. came to planting a spy device inside North Korea.

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 shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Russian drones breaching NATO airspace, Trump’s war on Venezuela’s cartels, Mexico’s tariff fight with China, a pharmaceutical victory in Tennessee, and new revelations in the 9/11 families’ lawsuit against Saudi Arabia.

From political violence at home to dangerous escalations abroad, today’s brief carries heavy news on a day of prayer and remembrance.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah:
The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Trump called him “a martyr for truth and freedom” and ordered flags at half-staff. Video shows a sniper shot to the neck from a rooftop as Kirk addressed thousands of students. MSNBC sparked outrage with coverage that suggested Kirk’s “awful words” made his death inevitable. Bryan warns, “The seal has now been broken: if you make those arguments or say those words, you’re fair game too.”

Russian Drones Violate Polish Airspace:
NATO confirms 19 Russian drones flew over 150 miles into Poland, with several shot down by Dutch and Polish jets. Bryan cautions that even an accident could spark a “Gulf of Tonkin–like incident” dragging NATO into direct war with Moscow.

Trump Escalates War on Venezuela’s Cartels:
After U.S. forces sank a drug boat killing 11, critics accuse Trump of overstepping presidential authority. War Secretary Pete Hegseth countered: “This strike sent a clear message: If you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will stop you cold.”

Mexico Tariffs Chinese Imports:
President Claudia Sheinbaum hikes tariffs on Chinese cars and textiles to 50 percent, aiming to shield Mexican workers and appease Trump’s demands to close tariff loopholes. Bryan notes this could undercut Beijing’s backdoor into U.S. markets.

Saving U.S. Antibiotics in Tennessee:
Trump brokers a deal forcing Walmart and McKesson to buy amoxicillin from Bristol, Tennessee, rescuing America’s last antibiotic factory from collapse. “Don’t bet against America,” Bryan says, “because with leadership that actually loves this country, we will win.”

9/11 Families’ Lawsuit Against Saudi Arabia Advances:
A New York judge allows families to pursue claims that Saudi intel officers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy aided hijackers. ProPublica reports al-Bayoumi was a Saudi intel asset in the U.S. coordinating with the GIP. Bryan calls for Trump to declassify CIA files: “It’s time for some sunlight on what did or didn’t happen that horrific day.”
