In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down Meta's massive $18 billion settlement over claims it deliberately hooked kids on social media, including new daily time limits, overnight blackouts, and tougher age verification rules. Bryan covers the State Department's terrorism designation on an Italian tech collective that provided encrypted infrastructure to Antifa, Hamas, and the IRGC, a push by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to force social media influencers to disclose foreign cash, and Senator Josh Hawley's growing rebellion against his own party's embrace of AI and data centers. He also breaks down a combative Fox News interview with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sharia law, defunding police, and trans medicine for kids. Plus, Bryan covers a horrific glacier collapse and flash flood in Nepal, new confirmation that Iranian strikes have killed CIA officers and destroyed intelligence facilities, China's new Arctic shipping route skirting the Middle East war, and a new Louisiana phosphate plant aimed at cutting America's fertilizer dependence on China.
