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."
