Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In today’s episode, we cover

Trump Targets Crime and Homelessness in DC
Following a brutal attack on a former Trump employee in Washington DC, the president will announce sweeping plans to clean up the city. Proposals may include evicting the homeless, involuntary psychiatric commitments, and even federalizing DC’s governance. Bryan unpacks the root causes of the capital’s lawlessness, from broken families to weak criminal enforcement.

Putin-Trump Peace Talks Face Global Pushback
The Russian president is set to meet Trump in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the Ukraine war. Putin’s demands include control of Donbas and Crimea, but Europe, Zelenskyy, and China all oppose the proposed “Alaska Protocol.” Bryan examines why some say this could be a diplomatic breakthrough, while others see it as a Kremlin ploy.

China and India Undercut U.S. Strategy
China openly declares it wants Russia to win in Ukraine to keep America distracted. India deepens its ties with Moscow despite new U.S. tariffs, canceling American weapons purchases and strengthening the BRICS alliance.

Trump’s New “Peace Corridor” Rattles Iran and Russia
Last week’s U.S.-brokered peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan creates the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity — a new corridor for oil, gas, and trade running close to Iran’s borders. Tehran threatens to turn it into a “graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries,” while Moscow warns against foreign meddling.

The Great Game for Global Power
From Ukraine to the South Caucasus, from India to China’s Pacific shores, a new geopolitical contest is underway. Bryan outlines how foreign powers may try to sabotage U.S. influence at home and abroad, including covert propaganda, political funding, and infiltration through the southern border.
