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 Trump's investigation into the groups behind Charlie Kirk's assassination, a second Venezuelan drug boat sunk by U.S. forces, the White House deal on TikTok, Trump's push to revive America's mining industry, and listener questions on Ilhan Omar, socialism, and whether the U.S. should split in two.

From Marxist activists in Utah to uranium mines in Wyoming, today's brief connects the fights over America's culture, security, and survival.

Trump Investigates Groups Behind Charlie Kirk's Assassination:
The FBI is probing ties between shooter Tyler Robinson and radical groups including Armed Queers Salt Lake City, trans activists, Marxists, online gamers, and even the "Furries." VP JD Vance vowed to dismantle institutions like the Soros Open Society and Ford Foundation if found complicit, urging Americans: "When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out. And call their employer." Bryan warns that Marxist Queer Theory's strategy is to radicalize youth, break families, and build a socialist revolution.

U.S. Sinks Second Venezuelan Drug Boat:
Trump confirmed the Navy destroyed another cartel vessel, killing three traffickers and scattering cocaine and fentanyl across the sea. "BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!" he declared. Behind the scenes, Trump's CIA is quietly working with vetted Mexican Navy and Army units to target cartel leaders, leaving Mexico's president to deny cooperation in public while relying on U.S. intelligence in private.

TikTok Deal With China Raises Concerns:
The White House reached a framework deal to keep TikTok running under new U.S. ownership, but China secured concessions on investment barriers and trade. Trump's team insists Beijing needs the deal more, as China's economy just suffered its worst month of the year. Bryan warns, "This President likes to make deals with Beijing… I'm nervous."

Trump Builds Uranium Reserve to End Dependence on Russia:
Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced a plan to stockpile uranium for America's 94 nuclear reactors, as Russia still supplies 25 percent of U.S. needs. The administration will repurpose $2 billion in Biden-era funds for critical minerals, including $500 million in cobalt and new reserves of bismuth, a metal once sold off by Bill Clinton. Bryan calls the Mineral Wars "one of Trump's most important legacies" if successful.

Listener Questions — Ilhan Omar, Socialism, and National Divorce:
Bryan tells Nichole from Maryland that Omar should face a DNA test with her alleged brother, and if confirmed, be "denaturalized and deported on Air Pinochet." Robert from Virginia flagged new polling showing Democrats prefer socialism, which Bryan calls "dense and dangerous." And Morris from the Ozarks asked about national divorce, but Bryan warns partition would collapse America into chaos: "This is our country. We will either defend and reclaim it, or we will fall trying — just like Charlie did."
