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.
