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, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves.

Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia:
The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them.

Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence:
Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination.

Chile Rejects the Far Left:
Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline.

The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt:
Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists.

What a Socialist America Would Look Like:
Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook.

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, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine.

Markets Slide After Record High:
The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months.

Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts:
Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain.

White House Floats Portable Mortgages:
The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience.

Immigration Crackdown Widens:
Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense.

Energy and Manufacturing Developments:
New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing.

Iran's Water Crisis:
Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime.

Trump Meets Syria's New President:
Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral.

Europe Confronts Migration Fallout:
Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration.

Ukraine Corruption Scandal:
Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading.

Good News for the Weekend:
A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.

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, Bryan covers the end of the U.S. government shutdown, the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails and the political storm they've reignited, the sharp drop in violent crime nationwide — and why some Democrats are furious about it — and Trump's renewed clash with his base over foreign labor visas.

Government Shutdown Ends — For Now:
President Trump signed the Senate's funding bill to reopen the government, but only through January. The bill includes a controversial clause allowing Senators to sue the federal government for the DOJ's "Arctic Frost" surveillance of lawmakers during the Biden years. As one senator put it, Democrats are now "angry it's over, angry it happened, and angry it might happen again." Bryan warns another shutdown is likely in early 2026.

Epstein Emails and Media Spin:
House Democrats released new Epstein emails suggesting Trump "knew about the girls," while Republicans countered with 20,000 additional messages showing he cut ties with Epstein and banned him from Mar-a-Lago. Bryan breaks down how selective framing by Democrats and the press is distorting what the evidence actually shows — and how Trump's own team mishandled the case politically.

Crime Drops, Democrats Complain:
Crime has plunged across cities like D.C., Memphis, and Chicago following Trump's deportation crackdowns. Yet some Democrats call the effort "fascist" and "racist," even as 911 calls and shootings fall sharply. Bryan argues the results prove the policy's success — and that "Democrats would rather be ideologically pure than keep their cities safe."

Trump Defends H-1B Visas — Base Erupts:
After telling Fox News that America "needs foreign talent" for advanced industries like battery manufacturing, Trump reignited a familiar rift with his MAGA base. Bryan explains how the H-1B program has become a loophole for cheap labor, warning that if Trump doesn't crack down, "his working-class supporters will stay home in 2026."

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, Bryan examines President Trump's defense of his plan to double the number of Chinese students in America, Beijing's latest moves to weaponize rare earth minerals, the deepening conflicts in Gaza and Guinea, and how Sweden's cultural war on assimilation mirrors the decline of the West. He closes with promising new medical breakthroughs on Alzheimer's, cancer, heart rhythm, and anxiety.

Trump Defends 600,000 Chinese Student Visas:
President Trump told Fox News that Chinese students keep American colleges solvent, calling the plan "a business decision." Critics, including Laura Ingraham, warned that Chinese nationals pose espionage and bioweapon risks, while Trump insisted, "MAGA was my idea — I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else." Bryan argues the move exposes Trump's blind spot: treating adversaries as business partners instead of ideological foes.

China's Rare Earth Slowdown:
Xi Jinping is quietly delaying rare earth export licenses for U.S. buyers, especially those tied to military contracts, while expanding Chinese control of mines in Brazil and Central Asia. Bryan warns that "Beijing seeks domination, not cooperation — we can never trust China on anything."

Gaza, Guinea, and the Global Chessboard:
Trump's Pentagon is exploring a new base near Gaza to support a 10,000-member Arab stabilization force, while King Abdullah of Jordan says no Arab nation wants to "touch that mission." In Africa, China now controls the world's largest iron-ore mine in Guinea, giving it leverage to flood global steel markets and crush Western industry.

Sweden's Self-Destruction:
Leftist mayors in Sweden argue that native Swedes must integrate with Arab migrants, not the other way around. Bryan calls it "civilizational suicide" and a warning for America's future: "When a culture stops believing in itself, it dies."

Good News in Medicine:
Scientists report that NAD⁺ supplements may reverse Alzheimer's symptoms, a high-fiber diet improves melanoma survival, coffee may reduce A-Fib risk, and choline — found in salmon and eggs — helps ease anxiety. Bryan calls it "proof that science, faith, and common sense can still work together."

Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Veterans Day edition of The Wright Report, Bryan honors those who have served while covering critical stories about America's security and Western civilization's future.

U.S. Drone Strikes Confirm Narco-Terror Targets:
An Associated Press investigation confirmed that the 60 individuals killed in recent U.S. strikes on drug boats in the Caribbean were all traffickers for Venezuela's and Colombia's narco networks — not innocent fishermen as critics claimed. Bryan notes, "These were bad guys with bad stuff bound for our streets. Our intel nailed it."

Latin Kings Declare War on DHS:
Intelligence from DHS reveals that the Latin Kings gang has ordered members to "shoot to kill" ICE and Border Patrol agents. Over the weekend, a gunman in Chicago opened fire on DHS officers before being captured. Bryan warns, "This was likely a near-miss of an assassination order — and it's only a matter of time before one succeeds."

Chinese Spies at a Missouri Air Base:
Two Chinese nationals tied to Beijing's intelligence networks purchased a trailer park sharing a fence line with Whiteman Air Force Base — home to America's B-2 stealth bombers. Bryan details how such locations could be used for cyberattacks, surveillance, or even weapons deployment. "This isn't random," he says. "It's preparation for future conflict."

Rebuilding America's Shipyards:
The White House is pushing to revive U.S. shipbuilding at the Philadelphia yard, now run by South Korea's Hanwha Ocean. The goal: from one commercial ship a year to twenty, plus new submarines. Bryan says, "It's a start — slow and messy, but it's how we rebuild American greatness."

China's Glass Jaw:
Exports are plunging, deflation is deepening, and Xi Jinping's economy is faltering despite the recent trade truce with Trump. Bryan calls it proof that "China looks tough, but its jaw is made of glass — and we have the leverage to crack it."

Trump vs. The BBC:
President Trump is threatening a $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC after leaked documents revealed it deliberately edited his January 6th speech to make it sound violent. Bryan connects the scandal to a wider media war on populism: "This isn't just about Trump. It's about the West reclaiming truth and its civilization."

A 100-Year-Old Veteran's Warning:
Bryan closes with the words of British WWII veteran Alec Penstone, who said the sacrifice of his generation "wasn't worth what the country is now." Bryan reflects, "That's the challenge before us — to make our nations worthy again of the freedom they fought for."

Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the tentative deal to end the U.S. government shutdown, new debates over healthcare reform, the Supreme Court's surprise ruling on food stamps, major flight disruptions nationwide, and the latest developments on immigration, the Deep State, and America's economy.

Shutdown Deal Reached — Maybe:
The Senate passed a bill to reopen the government, but House Democrats say they'll block it over missing Obamacare subsidies. The White House is proposing a new alternative — direct cash for Health Savings Accounts instead of insurance company subsidies — a move Democrats call "backdoor privatization."

Supreme Court Blocks Full Food Stamp Payouts:
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sided with the Trump administration, overturning a lower-court order that forced states to issue full SNAP benefits. Some states had already paid out 100 percent before the ruling, creating fresh confusion and federal threats of penalties.

Air Travel Meltdown:
Over 5,000 flights were delayed or canceled as the shutdown sidelined air traffic controllers and a blizzard slammed Chicago. Bryan quips, "Might be time to trade in your plane ticket for a horse and buggy."

Stimulus Checks and 50-Year Mortgages:
The White House floated $2,000 stimulus payments funded by tariff revenue, though the legality of those tariffs is now before the Supreme Court. Trump officials are also exploring 50-year mortgages and partial government ownership of homebuilders to lower housing costs — a plan critics call "socialism in disguise."

Minneapolis Election Exposes Somali Clan Politics:
A near-upset in Minneapolis revealed how imported clan rivalries from Somalia are shaping U.S. elections. Ilhan Omar blamed her own clan's betrayal for a socialist ally's loss. Bryan warns, "We're not melting anymore — we're balkanizing."

New York's Marxist Mayor and Chicago's Chaos:
NYC's new mayor Zohran Mamdani quoted Marxist Eugene Debs in his victory speech and declared his city "belongs to the foreigners who built it." Meanwhile, in Chicago, DHS agents came under gunfire during a deportation operation, showing how Operation Midway Blitz is meeting armed resistance.

Deep State Investigations Expand:
The Blaze identified a possible suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — a former Capitol Police officer turned CIA employee — while a grand jury in Florida subpoenaed John Brennan, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page over the Obama-era Crossfire Hurricane probe.

Trump Targets Meatpacking Monopolies:
The DOJ is investigating whether the "Big Four" packers — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and Marfrig — are price-fixing and harming U.S. ranchers. Bryan says the move is part of a broader White House effort to reconnect with its working-class base ahead of the 2026 midterms.

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, Bryan covers the U.S. government shutdown's impact on national security, Democrats' energy messaging strategy, Ford's massive electric truck losses, China's latest espionage scandal, and new medical research linking heart and brain health.

U.S. Troops Told to Visit German Food Banks:
A U.S. Army base in Bavaria posted a list of local soup kitchens for service members and families struggling during the shutdown — a move that shocked German media and sparked Pentagon embarrassment. Bryan warns foreign spy agencies could exploit unpaid American personnel for recruitment, saying, "That's how the CIA would target desperate officers abroad — and it's happening to us now."

Democrats' Winning Playbook:
Democrats' recent election victories were fueled by economic messaging, especially on rising energy costs. Bryan explains how candidates tied AI data centers and electric vehicles to higher utility bills — a strategy Republicans must counter before 2026.

Ford's Electric F-150 Collapse:
The automaker faces $13 billion in losses after poor demand for its Lightning pickup. Bryan notes Toyota's hybrid-first strategy is proving right, calling the EV rush "a cultish demand that ignored market reality."

China's Espionage and Agricultural Games:
Three Chinese nationals in Michigan were arrested for smuggling genetically modified worms, while Beijing signed $5 billion in new U.S. grain deals. Bryan warns that "China is both robbing our labs and buying our fields."

Trump Weighs Action in Nigeria and Venezuela:
The President is considering U.S. military intervention in Nigeria to protect Christians from Islamist attacks while reviewing regime-change options in Venezuela. Bryan asks listeners to consider: "How many American lives would we trade to save others abroad?"

Dementia and Heart Disease Discoveries:
British scientists found that small increases in heart enzyme levels may predict dementia risk years before symptoms. Meanwhile, South Korean researchers discovered gut bacteria linked to coronary artery disease, reinforcing the connection between diet, heart health, and brain function.
