In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan examines the rising risk of war with Venezuela, secret peace talks over Ukraine, the abduction of Christian schoolchildren in Nigeria, Israel's shifting posture in Gaza and Lebanon, and the domestic political fight over sedition and extremist rhetoric inside the United States government. U.S. and Venezuela Move Closer to War: President Trump authorized covert CIA operations inside Venezuela, prompting the FAA to warn airlines about dangerous conditions in Venezuelan airspace. Reports from Bloomberg, Reuters, and the New York Times confirm GPS jamming and rising military activity. A Russian oil tanker headed for Caracas was turned away twice by the USS Stockdale and is now anchored off Cuba. Bryan notes that the White House still hopes for a peaceful exit by President Maduro, with Colombia offering asylum in exchange for guarantees of no future attempts to kill or arrest him. Trump's Ukraine Peace Plan Faces Pushback: A secret twenty-eight-point peace plan leaked last week, calling for Ukraine to give up parts of the Donbas, reduce its military to six hundred thousand troops, and abandon NATO membership. The plan would also restore economic ties between Russia and the West and release frozen Russian funds for joint rare earth projects. European leaders object, and President Zelenskyy says negotiations must continue, insisting Ukraine needs a larger standing army to deter future invasions. Bryan emphasizes that Trump wants the deal signed by Thanksgiving, warning Zelenskyy that U.S. support may end if he refuses. Ukraine's Deepening Corruption Crisis: Fifteen to thirty percent of aid intended for Ukraine's military and energy needs has been stolen, according to recent reporting. Several allies of Zelenskyy have been arrested, and the president's key aide, Andriy Yermak, is widely suspected of involvement. Ukraine's anti-corruption agency plans more indictments this week, placing Zelenskyy in a weakened negotiating position. Islamists Kidnap Christian Children in Nigeria: Three hundred Christian students were abducted from a Catholic school in central Nigeria. About fifty escaped by fleeing into the forest and hiding until farmers rescued them. Boko Haram and other jihadist factions are believed to be responsible. Bryan warns that these groups aim to build an Islamic caliphate across the Sahel and into the Gulf of Guinea, threatening regional Christians and strategic minerals such as cocoa, iron ore, bauxite, and oil. Trump has warned Nigeria that failure to protect Christians could trigger U.S. military action. Israel Reshapes Gaza and Expands Strikes in Lebanon: U.S. troops are withdrawing from Gaza's coordination center. Israeli, Arab, and vetted Palestinian officials will manage reconstruction in a new "Green Zone," while unvetted Palestinians remain in a devastated area controlled by Hamas. Polling shows Hamas' support has risen inside Gaza, meaning roughly half the population may remain under militant control. Israel also intensified operations in Lebanon, killing Hezbollah's top military commander in a drone strike despite an ongoing ceasefire. Jewish Extremists Spark Crisis in the West Bank: Prime Minister Netanyahu convened emergency meetings after Jewish extremists torched Palestinian homes and cars in a village attack. Israeli officials say about two hundred seventy young men are responsible for the most recent incidents and vow to act. Sedition Caucus Escalates Rhetoric Against Trump: Former CIA, FBI, and military officials who now serve as Democrats in Congress released a video urging service members to resist unlawful orders from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin admitted she knows of no unlawful orders but says such orders might come. Bryan calls the effort a psychological operation designed to sow confusion inside the military. Legal experts warn that service members who refuse lawful orders could face court-martial and prison. Trump Meets NYC's Socialist Mayor Elect: Zohran Mamdani met with President Trump on Friday, and the two agreed on issues such as electricity costs and housing. Mamdani later repeated his belief that Trump is a fascist and a Nazi, prompting Republican leaders like Elise Stefanik to call Mamdani a jihadist with a long documented history of radical associations. Bryan argues the evidence strongly supports Stefanik's view and warns against normalizing Mamdani's ideology. Eric Swalwell Runs for Governor of California: Representative Swalwell announced his campaign on Jimmy Kimmel Live, promising to lead the "Resistance" against Trump. Bryan revisits the long-running Chinese influence operation that targeted young California Democrats, including Swalwell, and raises questions about whether the FBI ever thoroughly investigated the network linked to his former associate Fang Fang. Good News in Medicine: Japanese researchers found that the amino acid arginine significantly reduced Alzheimer's-related plaque and inflammation in animal studies. Dosing remains experimental, but Bryan notes it could offer a promising option for families exploring right-to-try pathways.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Put a smile on your face and give joy to your taste buds… Give Masa and Vandy beef tallow chips a try today!

• 21 NOV 2025: Dems Face Death-Penalty Warning // "Communist" NYC Mayor Visits Trump // Economic Wins Pour in // Border Wall Injuries Plummet // Migrant Fraud Funds Africa Terror // Woke FBI vs. Big Gay Al

  Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 President Trump's accusation of sedition against former intelligence and military officials, the deeper pattern of political activism inside America's security agencies, the White House's meeting with New York City's socialist mayor elect, new economic and immigration data, and a sprawling welfare scandal involving Somali migrants in Minnesota. Trump Accuses Former Intel and Military Officials of Sedition: A group of Democratic lawmakers and former intelligence and military officers released a video urging current service members to refuse "illegal orders" from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Jason Crow admitted they could not name any unlawful orders but again labeled Trump a fascist and a Nazi. Trump responded by calling their actions sedition and said they should be arrested and tried, adding that such offenses can be punishable by death. Bryan argues the video is part of a ten-year pattern of partisan activism from former security officials who wrap themselves in patriotism while advancing political goals. A Personal Warning About the Deep State: Bryan recounts cases involving Ned Price, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and the fifty one former intelligence officials who misled the public about Hunter Biden's laptop. He describes how some officials use the cachet of CIA or military service to shield partisan motives. He also reflects on his former boss, Jennifer Matthews, and objects to her being used for political gain. Trump Hosts New York City's Socialist Mayor Elect: President Trump will meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York City, who openly identifies as a Marxist. Mamdani insists the NYPD will not assist federal deportation efforts, even for violent offenders held at Rikers Island. He says the meeting will focus on public safety and affordability. Bryan questions the wisdom of giving such a figure a platform inside the White House. Economic Signals Improve for Housing and Jobs: Mortgage rates have fallen to about 6.25 percent. Rent prices are dropping in many cities and analysts tie the trend to Trump's deportation operations, which have reduced demand for rental units. Job growth in September exceeded expectations, with 119,000 new positions. Native born workers filled most new roles while foreign-born workers lost ground. Wages are growing faster than inflation. Manufacturing orders appear strong, but exact data are delayed due to the recent shutdown. Tariff Adjustments and Manufacturing Investments: The White House lifted remaining tariffs on Brazilian goods such as beef and coffee to ease grocery prices. GE Appliances will shift more production to Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee due to U.S. tariffs and competitive pressure from Whirlpool. China unexpectedly resumed large soybean purchases and placed a new wheat order, giving U.S. farmers encouraging news. Border Crossings Fall and Medical Strain Eases: Hospitals near San Diego report a dramatic drop in injuries among migrants who fall from the border wall. Emergency rooms say they can finally prioritize American patients because crossings have fallen to lows not seen since the 1970s. Judges Block National Guard Deployments: A federal judge in Washington blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the capital despite clear data showing that Guard operations sharply reduced crime. Similar rulings in Memphis and other cities reflect what Bryan describes as political obstruction at the expense of public safety. Somali Welfare Fraud Funds Terrorism Abroad: City Journal reports that Somali migrants in Minneapolis defrauded Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program of hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was routed to clan networks and to al-Shabaab in Somalia, making Minnesota taxpayers one of the largest funders of the terror group. More than fifty individuals have been charged. Bryan warns that state leaders have tried to minimize or dismiss the scandal for fear of appearing xenophobic. FBI Analyst Fired After Displaying Pride Flag: An FBI trainee claims he was terminated for displaying a Pride flag at work. The Bureau denies this. Bryan discusses his own experience serving alongside gay and lesbian officers and argues that all personal politics, identities, and symbols should be left outside the workplace so that the mission remains the focus.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump sedition accusation Slotkin Crow, former intel officials illegal orders video, Deep State political activism, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor elect, mortgage rates falling deportation effect, GE Appliances reshoring tariffs, China soybean wheat purchases, San Diego border crossings ER cases, National Guard deployment ruling DC, Minneapolis Somali welfare fraud al-Shabaab, FBI pride flag firing claim

• 20 NOV 2025: Trump's Saudi Mega-Deal Faces 9/11 Reckoning // President Doubles Down on Foreign Workers as Polls Slide // Russia Sabotages Europe, China Spies via Cars, Australia's Autism Breakthrough

  Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Saudi one trillion dollar deal, F-35 sale approval Congress, Saudi 9/11 lawsuit al-Bayoumi al-Thumairy, Trump H-1B foreign workers battery factories, U.S. trade deficit drop tariffs, Poland Russia rail sabotage Ukraine, Chinese electric vehicle spying UK Norway Israel, prenatal vitamins autism Australia study

• 19 NOV 2025: Epstein and the CIA // ICE Rammed by Leftist Cars // Deport Illegals, Free up Homes // NYC Sanctuary Showdown // Memphis Migrant Blues // Pennsylvania Terror Truck // New Visa Scam // Good News!

  Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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 breaks down the coming release of Jeffrey Epstein's files, explosive new evidence of his ties to intelligence services, and the political crossfire now engulfing both parties. He then turns to a sweeping set of immigration updates, covering violent attacks on federal officers, deportation operations in Charlotte and New York City, a federal judge blocking National Guard deployments, and a little known federal program that lets foreign graduates stay in the United States at lower wages than American college students. The show closes with encouraging updates on soybeans, beef supply, and groundbreaking Alzheimer's research. Epstein Files Set for Release: The House passed a bill instructing the Department of Justice to release its Epstein files, with President Trump expected to sign it shortly. Speaker Mike Johnson warned that the measure risks exposing victims, revealing child abuse images, and forcing declassification of intelligence records that may contain sensitive sources and methods. His comments suggest that U.S. intelligence agencies hold Epstein-related material, fueling long-standing questions about whether Epstein worked with the CIA, Mossad, or European services. Political Fallout for Both Parties: Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene reignited her feud with Trump after claiming he blocked earlier Epstein legislation, while Democrats are facing scrutiny over Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett, who coordinated with Epstein during a 2019 House hearing. Newly released emails also show Epstein spent years trying to damage Trump after their personal split, which Bryan argues suggests Trump had no criminal exposure. Violence Against ICE and Border Patrol Surges: Vehicle rammings and attacks on federal immigration officers are up more than one thousand percent compared to last year. Bryan links the trend to incendiary rhetoric from national Democrats, including Senator Chris Murphy's statement that Americans must do "whatever is necessary" to stop Trump. Charlotte and New York Become Deportation Flashpoints: Operation Charlotte's Web caused twenty one thousand students to stay home this week, a sign of how many families are in the country unlawfully. Bryan explains how deportations could free up thousands of homes for working class Americans. In New York, ICE is preparing major operations after city leaders blocked federal agents from accessing Rikers Island, choosing to release violent offenders instead of handing them over for deportation. Judge Blocks National Guard in Memphis: A Tennessee judge ruled that neither President Trump nor the governor can deploy the National Guard to support anti crime operations in Memphis. Her decision contradicts data showing that federal surges dropped homicides, robberies, and shootings throughout the city. Bryan calls the ruling pure political activism that harms the very communities it claims to protect. Texas Redistricting and California Citizenship Rush: A federal court struck down Texas's new GOP drawn congressional map. In California, migrants rushed to obtain citizenship before a harder civics test took effect, a change Trump implemented to restore basic knowledge of American history and law. Foreign Nationals Driving Trucks and Spreading Risk: DHS arrested an Uzbek national living in Pennsylvania who obtained a commercial driver's license despite ties to jihadist recruitment. Bryan warns that thousands of foreign drivers, many without proper vetting, may be transporting hazardous materials across the country. OPT Program Exposes American Graduates: Senator Eric Schmitt highlighted a federal program called Optional Practical Training that allows foreign graduates to work for three years without payroll taxes, making them cheaper to hire than American college students. Bryan says the program, along with H-1B visas, is shutting young Americans out of the workforce. Good News on Food and Science: China appears to have resumed large soybean purchases from U.S. farmers, and dairy ranchers are increasing beef production with new cross bred calves. Researchers also discovered a muscle released molecule that protects mice from Alzheimer's even when genetic risk is present, pointing to potential therapies and reaffirming the power of exercise.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Epstein files DOJ release, Speaker Mike Johnson intelligence concerns, Stacey Plaskett Epstein texts, ICE vehicle attacks Charlotte's Web, New York Rikers Island ICE block, Memphis National Guard ruling, Texas redistricting court decision, California citizenship test rush, Uzbek CDL jihad arrest, Optional Practical Training OPT reform, China soybean purchases, beef on dairy calves supply, Cathepsin B Alzheimer's study

• 18 NOV 2025: The Red Wave: Latin America Fights Back Against Socialism, the US Falls

  Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) 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.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Venezuela USS Gerald Ford, Maduro cartel de los soles terrorism, Gustavo Petro M-19 Colombia strikes, Mexico City cartel protests Claudia Sheinbaum, Michoacan mayor assassination cartel teen, Chile election Jose Kast Jeanne Jara, Democratic Socialists of America 2012 document, DSA seize means of production, Mamdani AOC Democratic Party strategy
