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, we cover Trump’s crackdown on Democrat-led policies in crime, immigration, and trucking safety, plus a listener-led Q&A block on Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza, medical marijuana, and Made in the USA.

From falling crime in Washington DC to looming military moves in Venezuela, today’s brief brings you stories that cut across politics, national security, and everyday life.

Trump’s Crime Crackdown in Washington DC:
New data from the DC police union shows carjackings down 83 percent, robberies down 46 percent, and overall violent crime down 22 percent since Trump deployed National Guard troops. Nearly 500 arrests have been made, about half involving immigration-related crimes. The DOJ is also investigating whether DC officials manipulated past crime stats.

Illegal Alien Truck Driver Kills Three in Florida:
An Indian national living illegally in the U.S. caused a fatal crash after making an illegal U-turn in a semi-truck. He previously avoided deportation under Biden-era policies and held a CDL despite failing basic competency tests. The administration is now reviewing how hundreds of thousands of foreign-born drivers obtained licenses.

Where Are Biden’s 300,000 Missing Migrant Children:
A DHS report shows hundreds of thousands of migrant children placed with unvetted sponsors or lost entirely by the Biden administration. Bryan shares a personal story that illustrates the dangers, arguing the failures amount to deliberate negligence.

Listener Question — U.S. Boots on the Ground in Ukraine and Venezuela:
Trump assures no American troops will deploy to Ukraine, but his administration is sending warships toward Venezuela amid pressure on dictator Nicolás Maduro. Bryan explains the risks of military entanglement and the key questions leaders must ask before committing U.S. forces abroad.

Listener Question — Is Israel to Blame in Gaza:
Negotiators from Egypt and Qatar offered Hamas a chance to disarm and cede control of Gaza in exchange for safe haven abroad, but Hamas refused. Bryan explains why Palestinian rejection of Israel’s existence keeps war inevitable, despite alternatives for peace.

Listener Question — Does Marijuana Really Relieve Pain:
A Pennsylvania study finds most patients abandon medical cannabis within a year due to lack of results or side effects. Bryan highlights research showing placebo treatments can trigger natural pain relief, suggesting safer alternatives exist.

Listener Question — What Happened to Made in the USA:
With Americans prioritizing affordability over patriotism, Bryan previews tomorrow’s counsel to Trump on how to restore U.S. manufacturing loyalty and revive his “Five Bucket Revolution.”

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, we cover Trump’s security promises to Ukraine, Xi’s pledge on Taiwan, Israel’s expanding Gaza campaign, and Bolivia’s rejection of socialism.

From tense diplomacy in Washington to regime collapse in Latin America, today’s brief connects the global headlines shaping America’s future.

Trump and European Leaders Debate Ukraine Security Guarantees:
At the White House, Trump and European leaders pressed Zelenskyy to accept ceding Crimea and other land to Russia, while pledging U.S. and European backing for Ukraine’s defense. Zelenskyy continues to demand binding security guarantees, but questions remain over whether that means U.S. boots on the ground. Bryan explores if America is edging toward a dangerous commitment.

The Economics of a Ukraine Deal — Weapons and Minerals:
Reports suggest a peace deal could include massive U.S. arms sales funded by Europe, alongside possible access to Ukraine’s rare earth deposits. Bryan analyzes why Ukraine’s mining industry faces seven major roadblocks, from corruption and infrastructure damage to Russian control of key deposits.

History Check: The Budapest Memorandum Was Not a Guarantee:
Listener Michelle raises whether America already owes Ukraine a security guarantee dating back to the 1990s. Bryan revisits the Budapest Memorandum, showing it offered only “assurances” — not guarantees — and why Ukraine knowingly traded its nuclear arsenal for cash, energy, and weaker promises.

Xi Tells Trump No War with Taiwan — For Now:
China’s president reportedly told Trump he will not invade Taiwan while Trump is in office. Bryan considers whether this is respect for Trump, fear of U.S. drone defenses, or simply a pause due to China’s economic crash, property collapse, and Xi’s growing paranoia at home.

Israel Prepares for Expanded Gaza War:
The Israeli Defense Forces announce plans for a decisive campaign into Gaza City and central refugee camps. Netanyahu pushes to relocate Palestinians abroad while hostage negotiations stall. Israeli protests grow louder, but leadership insists Hamas must be destroyed to secure peace.

Bolivia Rejects Socialism After 20 Years of Collapse:
Voters oust their Marxist government after two decades of economic ruin, high inflation, shortages, and long fuel lines. The runoff pits a centrist senator and a conservative ex-president, both favoring closer U.S. ties. Bryan warns that Evo Morales, still backed by allies in Havana, Caracas, and Beijing, could yet destabilize Bolivia’s democratic turn.

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, we cover Trump’s meeting with Putin and the fallout across Europe, Russia’s blackmail operations inside the U.S., Palestinian visas and radicalism, China’s military support for Iran, unrest in Jordan, and a surprising scientific link between coffee and happiness.

From high-stakes diplomacy in Washington to national security risks at home, plus a bit of good news from Germany, today’s brief brings you the stories shaping America and the world.

European Leaders Scramble After Trump-Putin Talks:
After President Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, European heads of state rushed to Washington DC to secure strong U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine. Trump signaled support for a permanent defense pledge but urged Kyiv to accept a peace deal even if unpopular. Bryan explains why critics warn this risks dragging America into a perpetual European conflict.

Russia Hacks U.S. Courts to Build Blackmail Files:
Bloomberg confirms that Russian cyber operatives infiltrated the federal court system for years, stealing sealed records and exposing informants. The stolen material may allow Putin to blackmail American politicians and corporate leaders. Bryan details how this could compromise U.S. decision-making and weaken trust in federal institutions.

China Re-Arms Iran with Missiles and Air Defenses:
Following its war with Israel, Tehran is rebuilding its weapons stockpiles with Chinese rocket fuel, missile systems, and air defenses. Despite Beijing’s denials, intelligence reports confirm the transfer. Bryan unpacks what this means for the Middle East and U.S. national security.

Palestinians Entering U.S. Under Questionable Visas:
Reports reveal that thousands of Palestinians entered the United States under humanitarian visas with little or no vetting. Critics warn of radical sympathies and cultural incompatibility, while Islamist groups call the backlash discriminatory. Bryan examines how this policy failure exposes America to preventable risks.

Jordan Cracks Down on Palestinian Radicals:
The Jordanian government has intensified scrutiny of the Islamic Action Front for its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian extremists. With half of Jordan’s population of Palestinian origin, King Abdullah faces a delicate balancing act to preserve stability. Bryan explains why this story is a warning for U.S. immigration debates.

Coffee Boosts Mood and Mental Health:
A new German study shows daily coffee drinkers report lower levels of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Researchers link the benefits to gut bacteria changes that boost serotonin and brain health. Bryan shares why your morning cup might be doing more than keeping you awake.
