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 America's shutdown is revealing shocking welfare data, investigates a Socialist-Islamist power alliance in New York City, breaks down the arrest of a radical British speaker, and answers listener questions about his years inside the CIA.
Union Revolt and Welfare Shock:
The largest federal workers' union — normally a Democrat ally — is now demanding an end to the shutdown, while new data reveals that most U.S. food stamp recipients live in foreign-born households. Bryan explains how this exposes a broken immigration system and a growing dependency crisis, citing research showing that long-term aid actually keeps people poorer.
Socialist and Islamist Alliance in New York:
Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani leads New York's mayoral race with heavy backing from radical leftist and Muslim groups, including CAIR and Students for Justice in Palestine. Bryan unpacks the money, ideology, and political networks behind Mamdani's rise — and warns what his victory could mean for America's largest city.
Trump Deports Radical British Preacher:
Federal agents detained British Islamist Sami Hamdi, who was touring the U.S. with CAIR to rally Muslim and leftist activists. Citing post-9/11 counterterror policy, Bryan explains why Trump's DHS acted swiftly to revoke his visa and how Western leaders are finally confronting political Islam's infiltration strategy.
Fearlessness and a CIA Life:
Bryan closes with a reflection on courage, truth, and the lessons he learned as a CIA officer — from recruitment and fieldwork to his most memorable operation abroad.

| 0:00.0 | It's October 28th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.6 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Wright Report, your daily news podcast. |
| 0:22.7 | I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. First up, |
| 0:28.5 | the U.S. government shutdown continues with a major Democrat supporting union pushing that party to back down and open government operations back up. |
| 0:37.4 | We'll talk about that, along with a related |
| 0:39.2 | controversy about stamp, food stamp usage amongst America's foreign born. Some very interesting |
| 0:44.5 | data about that will cover it. Second America's socialists are on the verge of capturing the |
| 0:49.3 | mayorship in New York City, and they couldn't be more thrilled. So too are America's most radical Muslims. We've got |
| 0:55.7 | some fresh reporting on that. Third, the Trump administration just detained a British Islamic |
| 1:00.4 | extremist who was speaking in this country on a media tour, hoping to rally America's Muslims |
| 1:05.7 | and leftists for his cause. We'll cover what happened and why it's such a big deal. |
| 1:10.9 | Fourth, we've got some unscripted listener Q&A today. It's going to be so much fun. |

| 1:28.2 | it's actually tied in to our first three briefs of the morning. So with that, let's get to our top |
| 1:33.8 | stories of the morning. NBC News reports that the Democrat Party, they are facing the very |
| 1:39.2 | unhappy part of their base this morning, is the union representing federal government workers. |
| 1:44.7 | The union's leadership took a full aim at the party yesterday that they normally embrace, |
| 1:49.7 | saying to the Democrats that there is no excuse to continue with this government shutdown. |
| 1:53.8 | Quote, it's time to pass a clean continuing resolution. |
| 1:57.8 | And in this shutdown today, no half measures and no more gainsmanship, end quote. |
