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.”
