Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.

Ukraine’s Covert Drone Strike on Russia’s Nuclear Bombers – In a bold operation dubbed “Spider Web,” Ukraine smuggles explosive-laden drones into Russia disguised as backyard sheds, damaging up to 40 nuclear-capable bombers. The strike signals a new era in covert drone warfare and offers a chilling preview of what China might replicate on U.S. soil.

Drone Warfare and Port Vulnerabilities Raise U.S. Security Concerns – Bryan connects Ukraine’s tactics to vulnerabilities in U.S. ports, especially Chinese-built cranes embedded with suspect electronics. He warns that the threat of Trojan-horse-style drone attacks is now a domestic risk, not just a foreign battlefield tactic.

China’s Rare Earth Blackmail Threatens U.S. Auto Industry – Despite Trump’s tariff rollbacks, China is withholding critical rare earth exports, putting U.S. vehicle production on the brink. Trump responds by suspending Chinese student visas and weighing further retaliatory measures.

Defense Secretary Warns: Taiwan Invasion “Could Be Imminent” – At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warns that China is training daily for a Taiwan assault. He urges U.S. readiness and tells Europe to focus on Russian threats instead of meddling in Asia.

Analysis: Is Putin Helping Xi By Prolonging the Ukraine War? – Bryan outlines a possible coordination between Russia and China, using Ukraine to distract and weaken the West as Beijing prepares for action on Taiwan.

0:12.4	Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast.
0:22.6	I've got two big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world.
0:27.8	First up, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack deep inside of Russian territory, thousands of miles from the front lines.
0:34.7	It's a shocking case of covert action operations by Kiev's spy service
0:38.8	and what an op it was. We'll talk about how they did it and unfortunately how it could happen here as well.
0:45.9	Second, grab those spy hats this morning. Let's cover a mix of news from D.C., Singapore and China that
0:52.2	when you put them together, I think tell us that the rest of
0:54.7	2025 could be very unpredictable.
0:58.0	In fact, U.S. carmakers are privately warning the White House this morning that they only have

1:05.9	It has to do with China.
1:07.8	Ah, that's coming up.
1:09.2	But first, let's get to our top story of the morning. At least

1:23.7	shipped into Russia in what was an audacious covert action operation.
