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 Democrats' sweeping election victories, Trump's call to end the Senate filibuster, the possibility of an end to the historic government shutdown, cartel violence in Mexico, and Trump's warning about nuclear weapons testing.
Democrats Sweep Elections Nationwide:
It was a strong night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, they won the governor's mansion, attorney general, and 13 new House seats — a political "bloodbath," as local analysts called it. Former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became governor, while Jay Jones — who once joked about killing a Republican lawmaker and his children — was elected attorney general. Bryan warns these results reveal a growing radicalism within the Left that Americans can't afford to ignore.
New York City Elects Its First Socialist Mayor:
Zohran Mamdani won handily with foreign-born voters and young progressives, promising free housing, gun bans, and state control over industries. Bryan compares his victory to a "virus of humanity" spreading nationwide, warning that socialism's false promise of "free for all" could gain traction if Republicans fail to deliver economic results.
Trump Pushes to End the Filibuster:
President Trump renewed his call to eliminate the Senate filibuster after the Democratic sweep, urging Republicans to "terminate it" to pass voter reform and economic bills. Bryan argues that fears of Democrats abusing power later are misplaced — "that horse has already left the barn."
Shutdown Nearing Resolution:
Ten Democrat senators are now willing to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history. A short-term plan could fund the military while delaying fights over Obamacare subsidies until December.
Mexico's Cartel War and Trump's Dilemma:
After the murder of Michoacán's mayor by the Jalisco cartel, Trump is weighing covert CIA and special forces operations inside Mexico. Bryan says the President is torn between patience and decisive action — and both paths carry enormous risk.
Nuclear Testing and Rising Tensions:
The U.S. will restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time since the 1990s, citing proof that Russia and China are secretly conducting their own tests. Bryan explains how new nuclear-powered cruise missiles and underwater drones are reshaping the global threat landscape.

| 0:22.4 | I've got three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:26.8 | First stop, it was a very good night for Democrats across the country last night. |
| 0:30.6 | We'll talk about poll results and President Trump's call again to ditch the filibuster to salvage his America First Movement. |
| 0:37.4 | Second, U.S. government shutdown might end this week with an increasing number of Democrat senators saying they will consider it. |
| 0:43.7 | We'll talk about why that is and the odds of it happening. |

| 0:56.4 | We'll also cover the latest on the U.S.-China trade deal with nobody believing it's going to last, |

| 1:33.4 | to lift off the runway. It clearly did not make it, crashing into warehouses and parking lots |
| 1:38.5 | nearby. The city's mayor said that because of the long flight, it had a substantial amount |
| 1:43.0 | of fuel on board when it crashed, |
| 1:45.0 | helping to explain the horrific fireball that you may have seen by now. We'll be watching this terrible |
| 1:50.8 | story today and praying for the families, both on board and on the ground. I'll also be looking |
