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 breaks down the political aftershocks of President Trump's record-setting State of the Union address, from new retirement proposals and Big Tech power requirements to the growing frustration over the Senate filibuster and the fate of the SAVE America Act.

Bryan then examines the sharp partisan divide on immigration, crime, parental rights, and voter ID, arguing that the speech exposed a fundamental split over who counts as an American and what the country should become.

The second half pivots global, with updates on the capture of Venezuela's Maduro, delicate negotiations with Cuba, expanding U.S. seizures of illicit oil tankers, and a looming confrontation with Iran as Tehran eyes hypersonic missiles from China. Bryan also covers the grinding war in Ukraine and why crypto markets are struggling, with nearly half of Bitcoin holders now underwater.
