Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles listener questions on the war with Iran, arguing that President Trump and Vice President Vance may be underestimating the IRGC and clerical regime's willingness to endure economic pain, reject peace, and sacrifice their own people for an Islamist cause. He also answers questions on China's role in Iran and Ukraine, warning that President Xi cannot be trusted to stop sending weapons or military support while Beijing works to weaken the United States without firing a direct shot. Bryan then lays out what he would tell President Trump privately, why he rejects more Chinese students and farmland purchases in America, and what he sees as the best national security strategy: pivot away from Europe and the Middle East, focus on the Americas, counter China in the Pacific, and protect U.S. interests in Africa. Plus, Bryan covers frustrations over Deep State accountability, the SAVE Act and filibuster, Chinese influence in California politics, and why America's refinery system is mismatched with the oil it produces. He also responds to questions on Colorado's magazine limits, Flock surveillance cameras, and his own political journey from old-school Democrat roots to today's conservative outlook, reflecting on how faith, community, purpose, and meaning may offer a path back from national chaos.
