    29 MAY 2026: Iran Attacks U.S. Vessels (Again) // U.S. Markets & Consumers Shrug at War // Stark Warning on Digital Exhaust // CIA Hands Out Gold Bars Like Candy? // Quantum Revolution: The Beginning

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan tracks fresh Iranian missile attacks on US merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, even as Washington and Tehran reportedly agree to a 60-day ceasefire extension. Bryan walks through the strange split-screen of war and optimism, with US stock markets hitting all-time highs and Southwest Airlines reporting strong consumer demand, while Trump's approval numbers still sag under the weight of the Iran conflict and lingering inflation. He also breaks down a chilling Reuters report that adversaries are buying US service members' digital exhaust on the open market, and delivers a scathing insider analysis of the David Rush case, the former CIA officer who allegedly conned the Agency out of $40 million in gold bars and cash, with Bryan tying it back to the CIA's broken recruitment philosophy of hiring C students. Plus, Bryan closes the week with a deep look at the Quantum Revolution, why Trump just steered $2 billion to IBM and others, and why whoever masters quantum computing first may end up master of the planet.

    28 MAY 2026: Fighting Erupts Between the U.S. & Iran // Bombs Away on Oman? // Horn of Africa Update // Migrant Crackdown on Green Cards, but Good for Construction? // Wild Texas Senate Fight // Medical News!

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks President Trump's surprise threat to bomb Oman over a brewing scheme with Iran to charge tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan breaks down the escalating chess match in the Middle East, including fresh Iranian drone attacks on commercial vessels, Trump's strategy to strip Tehran of its midterm election leverage, and the White House's plan to recognize Somaliland as a wedge against Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. He then pivots to a wave of domestic immigration reforms, from a new executive order pushing banks to flag illegal aliens, to a return of the pre-1960s rule requiring green card applicants to wait abroad, to the proposed "Cranky Flier" program targeting international flights into sanctuary cities. The WSJ's reporting on shoddy new home construction tied to unqualified foreign labor adds a sharp twist to the labor debate. Plus, Ken Paxton's primary win over John Cornyn in Texas raises the question of whether Trump will turn his war chest on RINO Republicans, and Bryan closes with promising medical news on pancreatic cancer, why a father's weight before conception shapes his child's metabolic health, and what scientists just learned about the brain's two washing systems during deep sleep.

    27 MAY 2026: Cuba Invasion Soon? // Timeline to Iran Going Broke? // Why Won't Arabs Join a U.S. Attack on Tehran? // What's up With Gaza? // Is China Really a Giant? // A.I. Truth Machine? // Will Dems Kill Me?

    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 Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on Cuba, Iran, Gaza, China, artificial intelligence, and the increasingly dangerous rhetoric coming from the American Left. He begins with Cuba, explaining why CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent visit to Havana may have been designed to pressure younger Castro-linked leaders into stepping aside or turning on hardliners before President Trump considers military action. Bryan then turns to Iran, breaking down how long the U.S. naval blockade may need to continue before the IRGC feels serious financial pressure, and why Arab governments may have missed their best chance to join the U.S. and Israel in crushing Tehran's radicals. Plus, Bryan gives updates on Gaza, where Israel now controls roughly 60% of the territory, and responds to listener questions about whether China is truly as dangerous as he says. He also warns about AI "truth machines" that may be shaped by ideological bias, before closing with a sobering look at comments from Hakeem Jeffries' brother invoking John Brown and the use of violence against Trump supporters, arguing that Democrats' "break their spirits" rhetoric should be taken seriously.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Cuba regime change CIA Director John Ratcliffe Havana Raulito Castro, Trump Cuba military option 2026 USS Nimitz Caribbean, Iran naval blockade IRGC oil revenue timeline, Strait of Hormuz blockade oil storage Iran economy, Arab governments Iran war Abraham Accords Trump, Gaza update Israel controls 60 percent Hamas disarmament, China threat GDP demographics military AI bio warfare, AI truth machine ChatGPT Claude bias conspiracy debunking, Hakeem Jeffries break MAGA spirits Hasan Kwame Jeffries John Brown, political violence Democrats Trump supporters, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

    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 Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with confusion and high stakes in the war with Iran, as U.S. and Israeli forces strike Iranian boats planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz while President Trump's hopes for a quick peace deal appear to be slipping. He breaks down Iran's shifting demands over Strait "fees," enriched uranium, and negotiations slowed by the injured Ayatollah's reported isolation, while warning that Arab nations, Israel, and the White House are not fully aligned on what comes next. Bryan also covers a major Russian warning for Americans to leave Kiev ahead of possible large-scale strikes, and connects Moscow's effort to "break the spirit" of Ukrainians to broader concerns about political and spiritual warfare at home. Plus, Bryan highlights new U.S. defense production in Alabama as the country tries to replenish missile-defense stockpiles, digs into the Communist funding network tied to Neville Roy Singham, Hasan Piker, CodePink, and rising socialist candidates, and calls out flawed climate models after UN scientists admit their worst-case projection is now considered implausible. He closes with good medical news on grip strength, depression, creatine, and simple diet choices that support strength, recovery, and long-term health.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war update Strait of Hormuz mines 2026, Trump Iran peace deal nuclear uranium negotiations, Ayatollah hiding CIA intelligence report, Abraham Accords Saudi Arabia Qatar Turkey Israel, Russia warning evacuate Kiev tactical nuclear threat Ukraine, THAAD missile production Alabama Lockheed Martin, Neville Roy Singham Hasan Piker Communist funding network, CodePink Cuba sanctions investigation Ilhan Omar daughter, UN climate model RCP 8.5 implausible Trump climate response, grip strength depression study creatine benefits inflammation, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

    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 opens with the latest on "deal or no deal" with Iran, as the U.S. and Tehran remain far apart on a peace agreement over Iran's enriched nuclear material and its demand to control the Strait of Hormuz, while the Pentagon prepares for renewed military action if talks fail. He also covers growing signs of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the arrival of the USS Nimitz strike group in the Caribbean, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent trip to Havana, and the DOJ indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro. Bryan then turns to a deepening investigation into Neville Roy Singham, the Communist activist living in Shanghai under China's protection, whose money allegedly supports socialist and leftist groups across the United States, including networks tied to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Plus, Bryan breaks down socialist backlash in Seattle and New York as wealthy residents and major companies threaten to leave over tax hikes, the 42-year prison sentence for Feeding Our Future fraud figure Aimee Bock, and a major clash between President Trump and GOP senators over the SAVE Act, the filibuster, and Trump's legislative agenda. He closes with updates on China's looming critical mineral export controls, Trump's new $2 billion quantum computing push, Ebola in Congo, Hantavirus research in the Pacific Northwest, and promising cancer research on pancreatic tumors and vitamin D for breast cancer surgery recovery.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran peace deal Strait of Hormuz nuclear material 2026, Trump Iran war Pentagon targeting list Hormuz mines, USS Nimitz Cuba Caribbean Raul Castro DOJ indictment, CIA Director John Ratcliffe Havana Cuba negotiations, Neville Roy Singham China Communist funding investigation, Seattle wealth tax Katie Wilson Starbucks Tennessee move, Zohran Mamdani NYC wealth tax free groceries, Feeding Our Future fraud Aimee Bock 42 years prison, Trump GOP Senate fight SAVE Act filibuster John Thune, China critical minerals export controls June 2026, Trump quantum computing IBM investment, Ebola Congo outbreak Hantavirus Washington Idaho, pancreatic cancer inflammation treatment vitamin D breast cancer surgery, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

    21 MAY 2026: Trump Peace Deal With Iran "At Final Stages" // San Diego Shooting Update: Shooters and Victim Were Nazi Lovers // Deep State DOJ Attorney Caught // Dems Want To Break You — From God?

    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 covers President Trump's claim that peace with Iran is nearly complete, while warning that the latest proposal from Tehran appears to offer little more than a temporary extension of the ceasefire, continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, lifted sanctions, reparations, and no clear end to Iran's nuclear ambitions. He also highlights better news from the energy front, including progress on a UAE pipeline that could bypass the Strait of Hormuz and a record-breaking U.S. oil lease auction in New Mexico's Permian Basin. Bryan then turns to new reporting on the early war plan involving former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling the idea deeply troubling if true, before unpacking the latest fallout from the San Diego Islamic Center shooting and the uncomfortable revelations about one of the deceased guards' support for Hitler and anti-Jewish rhetoric. Plus, Bryan covers a major Deep State leak case, as FBI Director Kash Patel charges a Democrat DOJ lawyer accused of sending sealed Jack Smith investigation documents to her personal email under fake recipe names. He closes with a sobering reflection on House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries' statement that Democrats must not only defeat MAGA voters electorally but "break their spirits," arguing that the modern political fight is becoming something deeper, darker, and spiritual in nature.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Iran peace deal 2026 Strait of Hormuz ceasefire, Iran peace proposal sanctions reparations nuclear program, Netanyahu Trump Iran deal tension Israel, UAE oil pipeline Gulf of Oman Hormuz bypass, Permian Basin New Mexico oil lease auction 2026, Ahmadinejad Iran leadership plan Trump Netanyahu report, San Diego Islamic Center shooting Hitler anti Jewish guard, Deep State leak case Carmen Lineberger Jack Smith documents, Kash Patel FBI DOJ lawyer indictment, Hakeem Jeffries break MAGA spirits Democrats spiritual warfare, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

    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 Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles listener questions on the war with Iran, arguing that President Trump and Vice President Vance may be underestimating the IRGC and clerical regime's willingness to endure economic pain, reject peace, and sacrifice their own people for an Islamist cause. He also answers questions on China's role in Iran and Ukraine, warning that President Xi cannot be trusted to stop sending weapons or military support while Beijing works to weaken the United States without firing a direct shot. Bryan then lays out what he would tell President Trump privately, why he rejects more Chinese students and farmland purchases in America, and what he sees as the best national security strategy: pivot away from Europe and the Middle East, focus on the Americas, counter China in the Pacific, and protect U.S. interests in Africa. Plus, Bryan covers frustrations over Deep State accountability, the SAVE Act and filibuster, Chinese influence in California politics, and why America's refinery system is mismatched with the oil it produces. He also responds to questions on Colorado's magazine limits, Flock surveillance cameras, and his own political journey from old-school Democrat roots to today's conservative outlook, reflecting on how faith, community, purpose, and meaning may offer a path back from national chaos.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war peace deal IRGC Trump Vance analysis 2026, China weapons to Iran Ukraine Russia drones Xi Jinping, Trump China students farmland Hannity response, US national security strategy Americas Pacific Africa Middle East, Deep State accountability Russia hoax James Comey DOJ FBI, SAVE Act filibuster Lankford Thune voter ID, Chinese influence California Connie Chan Fiona Ma Pelosi, US oil refineries light sweet crude heavy sour oil, Colorado magazine ban Second Amendment lawsuit, Flock cameras privacy surveillance debate, Bryan Dean Wright political journey Democrat to conservative, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report
