Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. In today's episode, we cover:
Mystery Drones Over New Jersey: Law enforcement tracks unauthorized drones to an offshore origin, sparking theories of involvement by Iran or China. Despite federal agencies downplaying the threat, questions remain about gaps in U.S. counter-drone capabilities.
Biden's Mass Pardons: President Biden grants clemency to over 1,500 individuals, including a controversial swap with China involving convicted spies. We analyze the political fallout and implications for the Biden family.
January 6th Report: The DOJ Inspector General reveals 26 FBI informants were present at the Capitol on January 6th, with four entering restricted areas. We break down the report's findings and the criticisms it faces.
Media Meltdown: Left-leaning outlets like MSNBC and CNN suffer massive ratings drops post-election, while Fox News soars. We discuss what this shift means for the media landscape.
Trump's Inauguration Invite to Xi: Donald Trump invites China's President Xi Jinping to his inauguration, signaling a potential thaw or strategic play in U.S.-China relations.
Gaza Ceasefire Developments: Hamas makes critical concessions as Israel's military pressure intensifies, bringing a potential ceasefire closer than ever.

| 0:00.0 | It's December 13th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.4 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, your daily news podcast. |
| 0:22.8 | It's Friday's headline, brief heavy on news, light on analysis, launching us into the weekend with events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:33.2 | We begin with domestic news this morning, starting with an update on drones. |
| 0:44.3 | The Wall Street Journal is reporting that local law enforcement in New Jersey have tracked some of the mysterious drones flying over that state to having originated from somewhere off the coast, of course somewhere out in the ocean. |
| 0:49.3 | That would certainly seem to suggest that they are originating from, say, a ship or some sort of ocean platform. |
| 0:55.5 | A U.S. representative from New Jersey had actually made that claim this week, |
| 0:59.7 | suggesting that mother's ship of sorts was parked somewhere off the coast, belonging to the country of Iran, |

| 1:33.1 | munition in the war in Ukraine. The Russians, interestingly, have a drone that is called the |
| 1:38.5 | Orland 10. That matches the description of some of the drones that we have seen in New Jersey. |
| 1:43.8 | Those tend to provide functions such as reconnaissance, observation, and signal jamming. |
| 1:49.8 | Nevertheless, the White House said again yesterday that these drones are not foreign. |
| 1:54.3 | There is no suspect ship off the coast of New Jersey, and in any case, they pose absolutely no security threat. |
