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 provides new details on the high-stakes operation that killed cartel boss El Mencho, including CIA and Special Forces involvement, follow-on arrests across seven Mexican states, and why the crackdown could disrupt grocery prices, electronics supply chains, and travel plans in the weeks ahead.
Bryan then previews President Trump's State of the Union address, breaking down the latest data on inflation, wages, deportations, crime rates, and housing, along with the psychological hurdle he faces with voters still feeling burned by the Biden-era economy.
The episode closes with a stark look at what leading Democrats are promising if they retake the White House, including explicit vows of political retribution and a complete moratorium on deportations, raising serious questions about the future direction of the country.
