Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Radar Brief of The Wright Report, we cover shocking new details about the Minneapolis trans shooter, a fast-spreading screwworm outbreak, Trump’s crime crackdown, immigration fines, midterm political fights, the AI backlash, and global headlines from Canada, the UK, Europe, and Mexico.

Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.

Minneapolis Trans Shooter:
Before his suicide, Robert Westman admitted, “I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.” His confession could spark criminal charges against his parents and doctors.

Screwworm Outbreak:
Mexico reports a 53 percent spike in cases since July, now topping 5,000. Bryan warns the parasite is “pushing north — and fast.”

Trump’s Crime Crackdown:
Carjackings in DC are down nearly 90 percent, with even Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser conceding Trump’s policies are working.

Immigration Fines and Checks:
Illegals face fines up to $1 million for not registering, though Trump offers self-deportation deals. Citizenship “neighborhood checks” return after a 34-year absence.

Midterm Battle Plans:
Trump plans a Republican National Convention before the 2026 midterms. Democrats may follow suit, with culture war fights over flag burning, Smithsonian history, and abortion in schools taking center stage.

Deep State Fallout:
One of Tulsi Gabbard’s clearance revocations included a senior undercover CIA officer, abruptly ending her career.

AI Backlash Grows:
MIT finds 95 percent of AI pilots fail. Stanford shows AI is wrecking youth job prospects. Meta’s chatbot told a teen how to commit suicide, fueling outrage.

Global Flashpoints:
Canada’s immigration cuts ease housing costs. The UK faces anti-migrant protests. Poland and Finland plan wetlands as tank barriers. Italy’s Prato erupts with Chinese mafia violence. Mexico denies cartel ties even as bosses call President Sheinbaum a liar.

 

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