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 exposes how Mexican cartels are learning drone warfare in Ukraine, Trump’s new covert operation in Venezuela, and China’s growing stranglehold on the world’s rare earth supply. We also cover plans for an international force in Gaza, Trump’s expanding bailout of Argentina, and the return of U.S. manufacturing jobs.

Cartels Train for Drone Warfare:
Mexican and Colombian cartels are sending members to Ukraine to study drone combat and jamming evasion. These skills could soon target U.S. cities and law enforcement. Bryan warns, “When the next 9/11 happens, it may come from people we already know — using tech we helped build.”

Trump Targets Venezuela’s Narco Regime:
The President authorized CIA and Special Operations units to act against the Maduro government and its Cartel de los Soles network. The finding allows covert lethal force against designated terrorists, marking the most aggressive U.S. posture toward Venezuela in decades.

China’s Rare Earth Power Play:
Beijing tightened its export limits on critical minerals, shaking global markets. G7 leaders blasted Xi Jinping for weaponizing trade, while Trump’s team vowed to counter with new mining and tariffs.

International Force for Gaza:
Indonesia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, and Azerbaijan are preparing a stabilization mission as Hamas factions turn on rival clans. Bryan warns, “It may get far worse before it gets better.”

Argentina and the Fight Against Socialism:
Trump doubled U.S. aid to $40 billion to back Javier Milei and block China’s influence in South America, calling it “a bet on freedom.”

Manufacturing Returns Home:
Jeep maker Stellantis and Whirlpool announced new multibillion-dollar U.S. investments, marking major wins for Trump’s reshoring plan and America’s industrial revival.

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 exposes cartel bounties on U.S. agents, corruption inside Mexico’s ruling party, and the alliances forming between cartels, gangs, and leftist extremists in American cities. We also cover the unraveling Gaza ceasefire, Trump’s new deal with Argentina, China’s role in Russia’s war, a coup in Madagascar threatening U.S. mineral supplies, and listener mail on media honesty.

Cartel Bounties and Corruption:
Mexican cartels are offering up to $50,000 to assassinate ICE, CBP, and DHS officers while partnering with U.S. gangs and Antifa. Trump revoked visas for over 50 Mexican officials tied to cartels, signaling deeper military action may follow.

Middle East and Global Conflicts:
Hamas refuses to disarm, violating Trump’s Gaza ceasefire. Israel accuses the group of hiding bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns, “Phase Two begins right now.” In Europe and Asia, China is supplying advanced drone parts to Russia, while the U.S. considers arming Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of hitting Moscow.

Latin America and the Mineral Wars:
Trump pledged $20 billion to Argentina’s Javier Milei and new tariffs on Chinese cooking oil after Argentina’s soybean sales to Beijing. A coup in Madagascar halted graphite exports crucial to U.S. batteries, with Bryan warning it may be part of China’s long game before a Taiwan invasion.

Faith, Media, and Integrity:
Bryan closes by responding to listener mail about media deception, defending honest reporting over celebrity-driven punditry: “I’m not here to be a circus monkey. I’m here to tell the truth.”

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, we cover the historic Middle East ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the growing civil war inside Gaza, Trump’s new Air Force training deal with Qatar, and China’s shocking escalation in the global Mineral Wars.

Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.

Hostages Freed as Trump Arrives for Ceasefire Signing:
Twenty surviving Israeli hostages are being released to the Red Cross today as President Trump lands in Israel and prepares to sign the ceasefire in Egypt. The deal, brokered through Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, includes a full Israeli withdrawal to defensive lines, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, and the start of Gaza’s transition toward international oversight. Bryan says, “It’s remarkable that we’ve gotten this far — and it’s largely driven by President Trump.”

Civil War Erupts Inside Gaza:
As the ceasefire holds, Hamas is now killing rival Palestinian clans who refuse to submit to its rule. The Dormush clan was attacked while sheltering in a Gaza hospital. Arab outlets confirm that Hamas is executing and torturing noncompliant Palestinians from north to south. Bryan warns, “They are drowning rats now — butchers to the very end.”

The Next Phase: Rebuilding and Corruption Fears:
Eighty-three percent of Gaza’s buildings are damaged or destroyed, comparable to post–World War II Europe. Israel has mapped only 30 percent of Hamas’s 350-mile tunnel network, which must be filled before reconstruction. Aid officials propose a Gaza-only cryptocurrency to track relief money and curb corruption as Arab and European funds begin pouring in.

Trump’s Qatar Deal and Backlash in Idaho:
Qatar will build an Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho to train its pilots on American F-15s. Critics like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer warn that allowing a foreign Arab government to operate on U.S. soil invites danger. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth responded that “it’s not a base — it’s a building — and it’s under Pentagon control.” Bryan adds, “That’s the price Trump was willing to pay to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and pivot our focus to China.”

China Escalates the Mineral Wars:
Beijing shocked the world with sweeping new export restrictions on rare earth minerals, magnets, and chip materials, cutting off 90 percent of global supply. The White House responded with 100 percent tariffs on all Chinese goods. Europe is panicking as factories and defense contractors face shortages, while Trump urges calm: “Don’t worry about China. It will all be fine.” Bryan warns, “Xi has the world by the neck — and he knows it.”

Market Panic and Pentagon Stockpiling:
Global markets plunged Friday before stabilizing after Trump’s comments. The Pentagon is buying $1 billion in critical metals, including tungsten, cobalt, and bismuth, and pitching Australia a joint $1 billion production plan. Bryan cautions, “It’s going to be a wild ride for your pocketbooks and investments.”

Health Breakthrough: Mitochondria and Anxiety Relief:
Swiss and Columbia University researchers found that Urolithin A, a compound in the supplement MitoPure, reversed anxiety in lab animals by repairing brain mitochondria. Bryan celebrates the result, saying, “It’s awesome to know that the hard work of finding companies that truly deliver is paying off.”

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, we cover new data showing the exodus of over two million foreigners under President Trump, an FBI shift toward immigration enforcement, reports of police “cooking the books” on crime, fresh Antifa terror threats, a major arrest in California’s deadly Palisades fire, and breaking news on New York Attorney General Letitia James’s indictment. We’ll also look abroad at the Gaza peace deal, China’s mineral squeeze, Argentina’s bailout, Finland’s icebreaker partnership, and research on finding daily hope.

Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.

Trump’s Immigration Victory:
The Center for Immigration Studies confirmed that 1.65 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. since Trump took office, along with 550,000 legal migrants, totaling 2.2 million fewer foreign residents. That equals roughly 20 to 25 percent of those who entered under Biden, marking faster progress than expected.

FBI Turns to Immigration Enforcement:
A quarter of FBI agents are now focused on immigration, with the figure reaching 40 percent in large field offices. Critics call it a misuse of resources, but Bryan argues that with 185,000 Chinese illegal aliens in the U.S., “it stands to reason” the shift is justified.

DC Crime Data Under Investigation:
Forty Washington, D.C. officers are cooperating with a DOJ probe into whether city leaders falsified crime statistics. Officers say politicians and senior brass “cooked the books” to hide rising crime.

Antifa Plans ‘Laser Tag’ Attacks on ICE Helicopters:
The group is urging followers to flood Portland skies with handheld lasers to down federal aircraft. Bryan reminds listeners: “Antifa is not an idea or peaceful — they are terrorists.”

Palisades Fire Suspect Arrested:
A 29-year-old Florida man and Biden donor was charged in California’s fire that killed 12 people and caused $150 billion in damage. Investigators say his phone data placed him at the scene.

Letitia James Indicted for Mortgage Fraud:
New York’s Attorney General, who campaigned on prosecuting Trump, faces bank fraud charges for falsifying records on two homes and claiming her father was her husband to secure favorable loans. Bryan quips, “Karma is quite something, isn’t it?”

Gaza Peace Advances:
Israel’s cabinet approved Trump’s ceasefire plan, including 2,000 prisoner releases, partial troop withdrawals, and European-Egyptian patrols in Gaza. Trump will visit the region for a signing ceremony.

UAE AI Chip Deal:
The U.S. authorized Nvidia sales worth billions to the UAE in exchange for a $1.4 trillion investment pledge. Critics warn of Chinese espionage risks.

China Tightens Rare Earth Exports:
Beijing imposed new restrictions on key minerals to pressure Trump before trade talks. Analysts expect new U.S. investments in domestic mining to follow.

U.S. Backs Argentina’s Milei:
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bought Argentine pesos to stabilize the economy ahead of Milei’s election battle against socialists.

Finland Icebreaker Deal:
The U.S. and Finland agreed to co-produce 11 new icebreakers, expanding the Coast Guard’s fleet to 13 ships for Arctic defense and trade.

U.S. Sinks More Narco Boats:
The Navy destroyed at least five cartel vessels in the Caribbean as Trump halted diplomatic talks with Venezuela.

Study Finds Hope Reduces Stress:
Researchers discovered that short daily videos of inspiration reduce anxiety more effectively than meditation. Bryan closes, “The path to happiness and less stress is hope.”

Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this special edition of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a breaking update on peace in the Middle East — as Israel and Hamas accept President Trump’s peace plan.

From the release of hostages to a new path toward Arab-Israeli reconciliation, today’s report covers the facts, intelligence insights, and listener questions on what this historic moment means for the world.

Trump Announces Peace Deal Between Israel and Hamas:
President Trump revealed that Israel and Hamas have both signed on to Phase One of his 20-point peace plan, with help from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. “This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed-upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable, and everlasting peace,” he said. The agreement includes a ceasefire, the release of approximately 20 surviving hostages, and Israel’s withdrawal to key defensive lines.

Prisoner Exchange and Humanitarian Aid:
Israel will release about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners within 48 hours while Hamas returns the living hostages. The bodies of 28 murdered captives, including two Thai citizens, remain withheld. In exchange for disarmament and the entry of humanitarian aid, Gaza will move toward a transitional governance phase under international oversight.

The Road Ahead — Hamas Must Go:
Phase Two of the plan requires Hamas to disarm and give up control of Gaza. Trump’s decision to pledge U.S. military defense to Qatar — a key Hamas ally — may have been part of a broader deal to pressure the group’s leadership and expand the Abraham Accords. “We gave them something massive so Trump could get something massive in return,” Bryan explains.

Listener Q&A on the Peace Process:
Bryan answers listener questions about why hostages are being released slowly, why Hamas might accept defeat, and why this peace effort may succeed where others failed. He describes a Middle East transformed: Iran weakened, Hezbollah diminished, Syria and Lebanon reshaped, and Gulf nations eager for modernization.

Intelligence Services at Work:
Mossad, the CIA, MI6, and Arab agencies are already recruiting informants and installing surveillance systems to stabilize Gaza. Bryan explains how spies will penetrate interim governments, military forces, and communication networks as Gaza transitions to a monitored peace.

Challenges Ahead — Extremism on Both Sides:
Bryan warns that both Palestinian and Israeli extremists could attempt to sabotage the deal, but Trump’s leverage with Arab governments makes large-scale rebellion unlikely.

What It Means for America:
A lasting peace could allow U.S. forces to withdraw from the Middle East, focus on China and Latin America, and enable the deportation of radicalized Palestinians and Islamists from the U.S. and Europe. “If this holds,” Bryan says, “it’s good for Israel, good for Arabs, and good for us. Bravo, Mr. President.”

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 a major breakthrough in Alaska’s mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America’s southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics.

From Alaska’s mining roads to Kazakhstan’s railways and Germany’s labs, today’s brief connects America’s economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.

Trump Greenlights Alaska’s Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake:
President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska’s copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”

AI Model Claude Knows When It’s Being Tested:
Anthropic’s Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you’re testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI’s “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”

Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low:
CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump’s monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden’s 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden’s border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”

Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case:
Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado’s ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It’s conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”

Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania:
A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden’s 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter’s Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”

Trump’s $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan:
Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan’s Wabtec, while Trump’s new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China’s Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.

Africa’s Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity:
As Botswana’s diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.

Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali:
AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.

German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health:
Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.”

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 an alarming report on Chinese illegal immigrants working as truck drivers inside the U.S., Beijing’s growing cyber warfare networks, Trump’s possible use of the Insurrection Act, and global political upheavals from France to Japan, with a surprising touch of good news about whales.

From container trucks to coups and conservation, today’s brief connects threats on American soil to global movements shaping our future.

Chinese Illegal Truckers on U.S. Roads:
A new investigation by the Daily Caller reveals that illegal immigrants from China are now driving trucks across America with commercial licenses obtained through a nonprofit tied to Beijing’s United Front Work Department. The organization, CATOU, boasts a 100 percent pass rate for drivers who often cannot read English or road signs. Bryan warns that this, combined with China’s control of port cranes and containerized missile systems, creates “an existential threat sitting in plain sight.”

China’s SIM Farm Cyber Operation:
Law enforcement uncovered 300,000 Chinese-controlled SIM cards in New York capable of sending 30 million texts per minute, enough to crash city networks and emergency systems. The devices were linked to China’s intelligence agency, the MSS, which has used similar systems to target U.S. officials and conservative figures. “No more scalpels. Chainsaws only,” Bryan urges, calling for mass visa revocations and deportations.

Trump’s Insurrection Act Warning:
President Trump hinted he may invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy federal troops in cities like Portland and Chicago, where Democrat officials refuse to protect federal officers. The move recalls Lincoln’s 1861 use of the law to quell rebellion. “These are acts of insurrection,” Bryan says, citing violence against ICE agents and the left’s normalization of lawlessness.

Global Political Upheaval:
France’s fifth prime minister in two years resigned after another budget collapse, while populists swept elections in the Czech Republic and Japan shifted right under new conservative leader Sanae Takaichi. Meanwhile, Michael Bloomberg announced a $50 million campaign to “fight populism” by grooming leftist city leaders worldwide.

A Moment of Reflection and Hope:
On the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attacks, Bryan offered prayers for Israeli and Palestinian victims alike, urging peace as Trump’s team nears a possible Gaza deal. In Argentina, scientists shared rare good news: the southern right whale population has rebounded to 4,700 and continues to grow. “We celebrate the whales,” Bryan concludes, “and feel bad for the humans who may go extinct if we’re not careful.”
