Rome. 1610. A painter who sees God in the faces of prostitutes and killers is on the run for murder.His name is Caravaggio. He drinks too much. He loves recklessly. Men, women, it doesn't matter. He picks fights with swordsmen and screams at the heavens in candlelit chapels. He paints the way other men pray, except his prayers are in defiance. And the Catholic Church can't decide whether to pardon him or let the bounty hunters finish the job.This screenplay by Richard Vetere, a Pulitzer nominee and Golden Palm winner whose work has been produced by Francis Ford Coppola, follows Caravaggio from the brothels of Rome to a besieged fortress on Malta where a scarred Grand Master offers him sanctuary and something that looks a lot like love. But sanctuary has a price. And Caravaggio has never paid what he owes without bleeding for it.There are popes making deals in candlelight. Brothers hunting him across the Mediterranean for killing their own. A muse he left behind in Rome who can't wait much longer. A rival painter who despises his work and can't stop staring at it. Knights nailed to crosses and set on fire floating into the harbor at dawn. A prison cell carved into rock like a grave. And an escape across open sea in a fishing boat guided by a boy too afraid to speak.This is not a quiet period piece. This is Game of Thrones in Renaissance Italy with paintbrushes and rapiers.Craig Parker, who played Haldir in Lord of the Rings, plays Caravaggio. Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Bruce Davison plays the Grand Master. Dan Lauria, America's dad from The Wonder Years, plays the Cardinal pulling every string in Rome. Ray Abruzzo, Little Carmine from The Sopranos, plays the Pope. The cast includes Broadway veterans, stars of The Chosen, the voices behind the biggest video games on the planet, and a former Navy test pilot born in Italy playing an Italian swordsman.Fourteen actors. One genius who painted like God was guiding his hand and lived like the devil was chasing him. Turns out both were true.This is Caravaggio. This is Table Read.

From the Army's recruiting age creeping up and a 10th Mountain deployment to the Middle East, to a soldier sentenced for murder at Fort Novosel, this episode stays grounded in accountability and reality. Peaches breaks down why the Army paused the soldier-built VECTOR data tool, what Navy pilots flying Air Force F-35As actually learn from it, and why a former Marine drill instructor's post-release arrest is indefensible. The Air Force brings back no-notice ORIs, lessons learned from Midnight Hammer drive comms upgrades, Space Force stands up a Northern Command component, the Coast Guard responds to deadly maritime incidents, SECDEF Hegseth takes aim at legacy procurement at Blue Origin, and the White House pushes to end the government shutdown.

The USS Hornet fought in some of the biggest naval battles in world history, picked up astronauts returning from the first moon landing, and is allegedly one of the most haunted places in America. Three decades ago, this aircraft carrier was sold to a scrap dealer and seemingly destined for destruction until a group of preservationists saved the Hornet and turned it into a floating museum. Since the 1990s, the Hornet has been docked at the former site of Alameda Naval Air Station, but now the museum's management are exploring a move across the Bay to San Francisco.  This episode features interviews with Russell Moore, the museum's Chief Experience Officer and author of the official book on the USS Hornet; and Bruce Douglas, a Navy veteran who served aboard the Hornet half a century ago and currently volunteers as a museum docent. Listen now to hear about USS Hornet history, how the Hornet was saved, and why it might be relocating.

“It was almost unbelievable, but I was seeing it. Almost simultaneously, three [Japanese] carriers were wiped out. I knew what it meant. By golly, we did it!”  This is the story of a battle that changed how wars are fought at sea—and of the thin margin between disaster and destiny. In the spring of 1942, Japanese forces surge across the Pacific, confident their next move will finish what Pearl Harbor began. But beneath the surface, American codebreakers are listening, watching, and waiting. Fresh from the hard-fought Battle of the Coral Sea, the U.S. Navy limps forward with damaged carriers, exhausted pilots, and an untested commander named Chester Nimitz. Across the ocean, Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku sets an intricate trap meant to lure America's carriers into annihilation near a tiny atoll called Midway. What follows is not a clash of battleships, but a duel fought primarily in the air—where minutes matter, mistakes are fatal, and pilots will dive straight into fire with no idea if they're already too late. By the morning of June 4, 1942, both sides believe victory is within reach. Only one is right. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Joined by Madison Farr, Damon and Damo sit down for a wide-ranging conversation on accountability, leadership, and the lasting effects of how Sailors are treated after mistakes. The episode opens with a brief check-in and an apology for a previous error before Madison shares her experiences in the Navy, including two separate Masts and a tragic incident that shaped how she viewed discipline, leadership, and her own career. The discussion covers fraternization, issues with her LPO, and the idea of not letting getting in trouble define you, along with what accountability should look like after NJP. Damon, Damo, and Madison talk through leadership responsibilities, the difference between consequences and abandonment, and what it means to do right by your people. Lighter moments include early Navy misadventures, her first time checking into a command, and reflections on the good moments from her time in uniform. The conversation also touches on warfare pin restrictions, Madison's current work at MEPS, and what she sees from the other side of the accession process. In the Do Better segment, the guys discuss installation safety, matching energy, navigating transition, and the need for leadership to be less judgmental. The episode closes with Madison grading the Chiefs' Mess, sharing her perspective on DRBs, weighing in on The Rip and Sinners and its record-breaking nominations, and offering feedback on what leaders can do better. These and more topics are covered in this episode.     Do you have a “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

We're unpacking one of the most infamous paranormal conspiracies in U.S. history: the Philadelphia Experiment. During World War II, the Navy allegedly attempted to make a warship invisible—and instead triggered something terrifying. After a flash of green light, possible time travel and teleportation, the sailors who survived returned mentally shattered and physically disfigured. Serving as a chilling prequel to last week's episode on the Montauk Project, this story spirals into secret experiments, an unsettling connection between the two, and a possible bridge through time. Was it all a hoax—or did an event in 1980 help complete a 1940s experiment?

Cell-free regenerative medicine in athletes is a specialized and minimally invasive therapeutic modality that facilitates the repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal injuries—including tendonitis, ligament tears, and cartilage damage—through the direct delivery of concentrated bioactive molecules to the site of injury, rather than live, cultured cells. Proven Results (Anecdotal vs. Scientific): While numerous athletes have reported favorable outcomes—for instance, studies indicate as much as 70% improvement in pain and functionality—the National Institutes of Health notes that further scientific validation is warranted. Common Applications: These therapies are routinely utilized for chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as Achilles tendinosis, ACL/MCL injuries, and degenerative joint disorders. Dr. Tommy Rhee serves as a sports chiropractor, author, and innovator within the field of cell-free regenerative medicine. With clinical practice dating back to 2006 and more than two decades of experience in regenerative therapies, Dr. Rhee is recognized for his expertise in topical regenerative modalities. He has previously worked with the UCLA Athletic Department and was the team chiropractor for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2015 to 2018. Acknowledging the limitations and risks associated with injection-based stem cell therapies, Dr. Rhee dedicated over three years to the development of RheeGen®, a patent-pending, cell-free topical regenerative platform designed to deliver regenerative signaling without the need for live cells or invasive procedures. Dr. Rhee is also the author of "The Future of Regenerative Medicine: Unlocking the Potential of Topical Stem Cell Therapy," wherein he examines the transformative impact of non-invasive, topical regenerative approaches on modern healing and recovery. His professional background encompasses elite sports medicine, clinical innovation, and prior service as a U.S. Navy aviator, affording him a distinctive perspective on performance, rehabilitation, and the evolving landscape of regenerative care.

2026-01-31 | UPDATES #121 | Russia raids elite branches of the military to feed the infantry — while casualties spike and “mobilization” stays politically radioactive. Some units becoming elite drone pilots, but the bulk of the ‘raw meat' that Putin is trying to funnel into the army are still being expended in high-casualty, low-impact meat-wave attacks that result in catastrophic losses. Russia's war machine is doing something armies do when they're bleeding out: it's consuming its own elite troops and specialists on senseless tactics that delivery little result. New reporting says Moscow is pulling people from the Strategic Missile Forces — yes, the nuclear deterrent branch — plus the Navy and Aerospace Forces and sending them into Ukraine as ordinary infantry. (Euromaidan Press) As well as being strategically insane, this smacks of absolute desperation on the part of Putin. At the same time, multiple outlets are examining the same grisly details: Russia's losses are now so extreme that analysts say the Kremlin faces a basic choice — another mobilization or accept a military that's increasingly hollowed out and running on fumes.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

"When you're blessed, it's very important to look back and give back and bless others." "If you're a leader and you're not creating more leaders, something is wrong with your leadership." "You cannot be what you cannot see." "Everybody can teach you something if you're, if you're teachable and willing to learn." "With everything you're doing, you've got to ask yourself, 'How am I growing every day?' And you got to reflect and ask yourself, 'How am I better? How will I be better tomorrow?' And if you're not reflecting, you're not growing, and you're stuck in the same thing." "If you are a leader and you have a great message, but you cannot communicate it, and people can't receive it, then you're going nowhere as a leader." "Success for me is how many people I have impacted and brought along on this journey, because we are on this journey of inspiring each other. We're on a journey. And it's not, did we get to the destination." "Your role as a leader is not positional. Your role is to serve others, is to bring others along. It's, 'I'm in this position because I want to bring others along,' and I'm humble enough to understand that I may not know it all, and there's going to be people that I am leading that would know more than I do. But it's about how we complement each other's strengths, to be able to to work together and bring each other along." "If you're not learning every day, then you're not growing every day. It's just kind of like a banana. If you're green, you grow. If you're ripe, you rot." BOOKS MENTIONED: Straight from the Gut by Jack Welch and John A.

Over the past eight months, I've lost two dear loved ones who had a profound impact on my life. They lived fully, with vibrant energy, wisdom, kindness, and deep care for others. While I'm heartbroken that I no longer get to experience their physical presence here on earth, I also feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the love I was able to receive from them, love that was unconditional and deeply shaping. One of them passed just yesterday, so forgive me if my emotions rise as I share, but in the midst of the sadness, I find comfort in knowing that even though I can no longer see them or hear their voices, their spirit lives on. And the love and impact they had on me and so many others remains.  This episode is a reflection on that truth that love and impact don't disappear when someone is gone. They continue through memory, through values, through the ways we show up for others because of what we were given or what we received. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down with me and reflect on the people you've loved and lost, and consider how their presence still guides you, shapes you, and lives on through you. As you reflect on the loved ones you have lost, how does their love and impact continue to live on in you today? In what ways were they a role model for you, and which of their qualities are you consciously choosing to carry forward for yourself or the next generation? What messages do you still receive from them, and how do you notice their guidance when you are at a crossroads or facing an important decision? What stories from your past bring their presence alive, and how can you retell those stories so others can appreciate how they lived, showed up, and influenced you? Is there someone in your life who has recently experienced a loss, and how might you invite them to share a meaningful story about the person or animal they loved? If you are unsure what to ask, what real-life challenge could you share while inviting their loved one's wisdom through a question like, what advice do you think they would offer me now? What other ways come to mind for helping someone you care about honor a memory and keep it alive through conversation, curiosity, or shared reflection? How are you showing up and leading by example for the people you interact with each day? In what ways is your love and impact staying with others, long after the moment has passed? How are you mentoring others and sharing your wisdom from a place of openness, authenticity, and unconditional care? How are you living your values in a way that inspires others to find their passions, live by what matters most to them, and step into their highest and best self? I hope that whatever you and your loved ones are going through, that you have the ability to start looking at the love and impact around you, both living and passed on. Cherish it, because that's what this is all about.  As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so feel free to reach out and tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [02:59] There's a saying that we die twice. The first time is when we physically die, and the last time is when people stop saying your name or the memory of your spirit and impact dies.  [04:00] I'm grateful we get to keep memories alive by holding our loved ones in our hearts, sharing what we learned from them, and continuing values and traditions they impressed upon us. [05:02] My loved ones are mentors that have kept me grounded and kept me in check. I love the acceptance and willingness to be vulnerable with each other. [06:04] My friend's dad recently passed, and she's been sharing stories about her connection with him. We have the ability to keep each other's loved ones' memories alive by being curious. [08:09]  I asked my new friend a question about her father, and she started telling me stories about his time in the Navy. He respected rank, but he wasn't afraid to put his foot down and even told an Admiral why something wouldn't work. [09:12] It was wonderful to hear her voice light up when she shared a story about her father who showed up and was able to lead by example. [10:15] When I reflect on the love and impact of my loved ones, I think of their magical confidence and how they led by example. [11:29] The lesson my uncle was trying to teach me is if you have self-belief anything is possible. [12:02] I hope I can instill love and impact in others. The beautiful thing about loss is that you take stock of what you have. [13:38] The other big takeaway is how each of us have the ability to make each other feel special. Feeling seen, heard, and understood is impactful and carries legacy. [14:29] There is no direct path for healing from grief. If you are experiencing any grief, any loss, just know that you have love and support even in the Striders community and it takes as long as it takes. [15:05] Show up and be curious and caring for those that you care about. [16:03] I'm going to approach the services of Aunt Ronnie with the mindset of looking around the room and gathering stories about how her love and impact touched so many. Memorable Quotes: "I'm grateful for the fact that we get to keep the memory of whoever we cherish alive by talking about them, by holding them in our heart, and sharing what we learned from them." - Mary Tess "My loved ones have served as mentors, both when they were here in this earthly presence, and they continue to do so, because I can still hear their voices in my head." - Mary Tess "One of the things that I cherish about some of the loved ones that I have in my life is this acceptance and willingness to be vulnerable with each other. When we do that, we can learn from each other." - Mary Tess "We're not striving for perfection. We're striving for being authentic, for really stepping into our own power and just loving and having positive influence in each other's lives." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Colette Baron-Reid Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Thomas Shugart and Michael Dahm join us to discuss key findings from their new report, Flooding the Zone: The Use of Civilian Landing Craft (LCTs) in PLA Amphibious Operations. They examine how civilian landing craft could provide the PLA with over-the-shore lift several times greater than its traditional landing ships in a Taiwan scenario, bridging the gap between beach assaults and port access. The conversation explores the operational constraints and vulnerabilities of LCTs and how these developments fit into Beijing's broader strategy and 2027 military modernization goals. Thomas Shugart is an Adjunct Senior Fellow with the Defense Program at the Center for a New American Security. He served more than 25 years in the U.S. Navy as a submarine warfare officer, deploying multiple times to the Indo‑Pacific.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Robert Armstrong, and Sandy Fisch discuss:Legal expertise without systems limits growthFocus outperforms expansion without infrastructureValue-based models outperform time-based billing in an AI-driven futureFuture-proof firms are systemized, collaborative, and diversified Key Takeaways:Most firms are built by technicians who understand legal work but not business operations. Sustainable firms require deliberate work on systems, strategy, and management.Deep specialization strengthens results, clarity, and scale. Expanding practice areas too early dilutes effectiveness and increases operational drag.Hourly billing weakens as automation accelerates legal work. Flat-fee pricing combined with strong human relationships aligns better with efficiency and client outcomes.Recurring revenue, acquisition-ready structures, and trusted peer communities reduce dependence on individuals. Long-term resilience comes from systems, relationships, and adaptive business models. "There's a difference between working on the business and working in the business." —  Sandy Fisch Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Nezamestnanosť na Slovensku začala byť problémom. Disponibilná miera nezamestnanosti vzrástla v decembri minulého roka až na 5,3 percenta, čo je najviac od apríla 2020. Ide tak o najhoršie dáta od pandémie Covidu. Podľa Inštitútu finančnej politiky sa miera nezamestnanosti zvýšila až v 80 percentách okresov Slovenska, čo hovorí o tom, že vôbec nejde o lokálny problém. Pribudli aj prípady hromadného prepúšťania.Paradoxne, nezamestnanosť rastie v čase, keď počet voľných pracovných miest aj počet zamestnaných cudzincov atakuje historické maximá. Podľa aktuálnych údajov Inštitútu finančnej politiky prekročil počet cudzincov zamestnaných na Slovensku hranicu 135-tisíc, čo je najvyššia úroveň v histórii pričom počet pracovníkov z krajín mimo EÚ presiahol 100-tisíc. Navyše, rastie dopyt po manuálnej práci vo výrobe, nie po manažérskych a iných vysokokvalifikovaných pozíciách.K tomu treba pripočítať dopady už tretieho kola vládnej konsolidácie, ktoré udrelo na zamestnancov, ale aj živnostníkov či podnikateľov no a slovenskú ekonomiku podľa odborníkov výrazne priškrtilo a spomalilo. Vláda pritom pokračuje pokračuje vo zvyšovaní minimálnej mzdy – dnes na úrovni 915 eur, pričom už v roku 2028 by dokonca mala prekročiť 1000 eurovú hranicu. Premiér Fico však už verejne pripúšťa, že jeho doterajší spôsob ozdravovania verejných financií nefunguje.Niektorí zamestnávatelia volia cestu lacnej pracovnej sily, ktorú dovážajú z tretích krajín. Svedčí to o tom, že náš pracovný trh je deformovaný a Slovensko sa tak nevymaní z pasce lacnej pracovnej sily a nízkych príjmov. Navyše, i toto vzdelanú a kvalifikovanú silu vyháňa do zahraničia, hovorí prezidentka Konfederácie odborových zväzov Monika Uhlerová.Sledujete Aktuality Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

China's embassy in Manila has launched an unprecedented public campaign against Philippine government officials. In this episode, Philippine Coast Guard Commodore Jay Tarriela - Beijing's primary target - explains what's at stake when foreign embassies publicly threaten democratic voices.The controversy began when Tarriela posted images from a student presentation featuring AI-generated caricatures of Xi Jinping. China's embassy called it “attacking and smearing Chinese leaders” and a “serious violation of China's political dignity.” Beijing summoned the Philippine ambassador and demanded Tarriela “pay the price.” Tarriela refused to apologize, receiving backing from Philippine officials and strong public support - 94% of Filipinos support transparency efforts in the West Philippine Sea.Tarriela identifies three reasons behind Beijing's escalation: the Philippines chairs ASEAN in 2026 and transparency during regional meetings could expose Chinese actions to neighboring countries; China may want to influence the 2028 Philippine election by reducing focus on West Philippine Sea issues; and transparency prevents China from executing operations like illegal reclamation without immediate international scrutiny.He describes coordination between the Chinese embassy and online accounts that amplify Beijing's messaging with identical talking points - evidence of organized information operations. Tarriela also addresses allegations that our co-host, the SeaLight Foundation's Ray Powell, is a U.S. agent providing him with money and instructions, while explaining why Powell's documentation of Chinese activities across Southeast Asia challenges Beijing's narrative.Since Tarriela's last podcast appearance in May 2024, Chinese Coast Guard vessels have moved closer to Philippine shores, now operating near Pangasinan, Ilocos, Mindoro, and Bataan. Meanwhile, transparency efforts have achieved measurable results: Filipino awareness of West Philippine Sea issues has grown significantly, and international embassies that previously avoided naming China now publicly identify Chinese actions.Tarriela makes the case for deploying U.S. Coast Guard vessels rather than Navy warships to counter China's gray-zone tactics, and explains why he continues speaking out despite personal attacks: “Standing up for our rights is the obligation of everybody. We owe this to our national heroes and to the next generation.”In the post-interview banter, Ray and Jim discuss how the Chinese embassy has also targeted Ray personally for SeaLight's investigation into Chinese influence over Mandarin-language media outlets in the Philippines. They explore parallels with Australia's experience combating similar influence operations and debate how democracies can balance freedom of the press with transparency about foreign funding and direction of media organizations.

Modern society is more fragile than most people realize.What happens when modern systems fail?In this episode, Drew Miller, author of Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse, joins us to examine the real vulnerabilities facing society—from fragile power grids and cascading infrastructure failures to existential biological threats and continuity-of-government planning that most civilians never hear about.Drawing on decades of military and strategic planning experience, Miller breaks down what “collapse” actually means, how close modern societies may already be to systemic failure, and—most importantly—what individuals and communities can do right now to build resilience and prepare for what comes next.This conversation touches on societal collapse, infrastructure failure, grid vulnerability, continuity of government, emergency preparedness, resilience planning, and survival strategy in an age of uncertainty.Topics discussed include:– 30 ways the government is trying to kill us all. - Power grid vulnerabilities and cascading failures– Biological and existential threat scenarios– Continuity of government and emergency planning– Individual and community preparedness– What “collapse” really means—and what it doesn'tWhat do you think is the most fragile system in modern society?Share your thoughts in the comments.Watch the full video interview with Col.

On July 30, 1945, The USS Indianapolis was struck by two torpedoes from a Japanese submarine, which took down the ship in only minutes. Of 1,195 crewmen, ~900 entered the water, facing sharks, painful dehydration, and exposure for nearly five days before they were finally rescued. It was the U.S. Navy's single worst loss of life at sea.

Fresh from fame and flush with ambition, Joseph Banks sets out to remake the world in his own image.

Waymo's self-driving cars look futuristic — but what's really happening behind the scenes may surprise you. On Really? No, Really., Missy Cummings — former U.S. Navy fighter pilot, MIT-trained engineer, and one of the world's leading AI and robotics safety experts — explains why true self-driving cars don't actually exist yet, how human “remote operators” may be quietly stepping in, and the hidden technical flaws that keep autonomous vehicles from being as safe as advertised. The conversation dives into phantom braking, transparency problems, Tesla's camera-only approach, and why the hype around autonomy is racing far ahead of reality. If you've ever trusted a robot car, ridden in a Waymo, or wondered where this technology is really headed, this episode will make you rethink everything. Learn more about your ad choices.

Long before Antarctica was ever discovered, people already believed it existed. Ancient philosophers and mapmakers imagined a massive southern continent—Terra Australis—balancing the world, a phantom land drawn onto maps centuries before anyone laid eyes on it. But when explorers finally reached the far south in the 1800s, they found something far stranger than myth: a frozen world that seemed to distort not just navigation, but perception itself.In this episode, the boys journey through the eerie history of Antarctica—from ancient legends and early expeditions to unsettling ghost stories and modern conspiracies. They explore accounts from polar explorers who claimed to hear voices in abandoned huts, feel unseen presences in the darkness, and even encounter mysterious “third companions” during near-death journeys across the ice.The story then descends into the continent's real-world anomalies: blood-red waterfalls pouring from glaciers, massive lakes hidden under miles of ice, and warm volcanic caves that may harbor unknown ecosystems beneath the coldest place on Earth.But Antarctica's strangest chapter may have come after World War II. The episode examines Nazi expeditions to the continent, unexplained submarine disappearances, and the U.S. Navy's massive Operation Highjump—led by Admiral Richard Byrd—followed by his unsettling warnings about aircraft coming from the polar regions.Finally, the episode confronts the biggest question of all: why did every major world power agree to lock away an entire continent under the Antarctic Treaty? With no military allowed, no permanent population, and strict global control, Antarctica remains the only place on Earth that truly feels off-limits.Not because of what is known.But because of what might still be buried under the ice.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan details a shocking weekend in Minnesota that left one activist dead, a federal officer permanently injured, and the state spiraling toward open defiance of federal law. Bryan walks listeners through the fatal shooting of activist Alex Pretti during an ICE and Border Patrol arrest, the discovery that Democrat-linked activists are organizing surveillance cells to track federal officers, and the revelation that one protestor later bit off the finger of a DHS agent. He explains the legal facts of the encounter, the role of Governor Tim Walz's campaign strategist in mobilizing protestors, and why federal investigations, lawsuits, and even a government shutdown may follow. The episode then pivots globally. Bryan reveals new details about President Trump's capture of Nicolás Maduro, including a secret directed-energy-style weapon that disabled Russian and Chinese systems. He covers Trump's consideration of a naval blockade of Cuba, the pressure campaign squeezing Mexican oil shipments to Havana, and Washington's push to rapidly restart Venezuelan oil production while cutting China out. Finally, Bryan reports encouraging news from Cambodia as U.S. naval access expands in the Gulf of Thailand, then closes with a stunning development inside China as President Xi purges a top general and boyhood friend amid allegations of corruption and espionage. He explains why the move weakens China's military readiness and could delay any action against Taiwan, while underscoring that Xi now rules China as an unchecked dictator.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 26 2026 Wright Report, Minnesota ICE protest shooting Alex Pretti, DHS officer finger bitten protest, Tim Walz strategist activist Signal cells, Minnesota sanctuary state defiance, DHS funding shutdown threat, Trump Maduro secret weapon discombobulator, directed energy weapon Venezuela, Cuba naval blockade Helms-Burton, Mexico oil squeeze Sheinbaum, Venezuela oil restart China cut out, Cambodia Ream Naval Base U.S. Navy, Xi Jinping military purge general espionage, China Taiwan invasion delay
