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 charging of Charlie Kirk's assassin, Trump's high-stakes trip to the UK, Germany's political and cultural reckoning, Denmark's Greenland pivot, and an unexpected health study on building muscle.

From courtroom revelations to foreign policy clashes and even workout science, today's brief connects the dots shaping America's security and daily life.

 

Charlie Kirk Assassin Formally Charged:
Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with Utah prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Text messages revealed him telling his trans boyfriend, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it." Robinson bragged about "engraving bullets" and retrieving his rifle from a "drop point." Senator Mike Lee warned of possible Cuban and Iranian ties to Armed Queers Salt Lake City, while critics blasted ABC News for framing the texts as a "very intimate portrait." Bryan warns, "This is bigger than one loner assassin… this is a puzzle piece that fits into a Leftist revolution."

 

Trump Visits the UK Amid Socialist Criticism:
London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked Trump as a xenophobe fanning "far-right politics," even as King Charles prepared a lavish welcome. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and may also meet Reform UK's Nigel Farage, a move described as "Make Great Britain Great Again." Bryan says such a meeting would be "sweet revenge" after Labour staffers campaigned for Kamala Harris in U.S. swing states last year.

 

Germany's Reckoning with AfD Surge:
The populist AfD party won record support in western Germany as voters revolt over high energy prices, economic stagnation, and radical Islam. A spate of Islamist terror attacks and growing "no-go zones" in Berlin add to fears, while reports mock German workers as lazier than Greeks or Italians. One slacker told reporters, "There are other parts of life besides work, you know."

 

Denmark's Greenland Pivot:
After Trump's pressure to secure Greenland, Denmark pledged $250 million for new runways, ports, and defenses against China and Russia. The timing of the announcement — as Trump landed in London — highlighted Denmark's attempt to appease U.S. demands without ceding sovereignty.

 

Finland and Poland Revive Bog Defenses:
Officials plan to restore swamps and peat bogs along Russian borders to bog down invading tanks, reviving a centuries-old defense strategy. Baltic nations may follow, though Germany dismissed the idea as too costly.

 

Health Research on Muscle Building:
Illinois researchers found that lean pork after workouts builds more muscle than fattier cuts, adding to past findings that whole eggs and fresh salmon outperform supplements. Bryan quips, "Get strong… you never know when a Leftist might come for you."

 

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