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 President Trump's national address on the war with Iran, offering unscripted analysis on what was said, what was true, and what may come next as the conflict enters a critical phase.
He walks through Trump's claims of military success, including the destruction of Iran's navy, air force, and much of its missile and drone capabilities, while questioning the long-term strategy around Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan also explains what he sees as a high-risk "escalate to de-escalate" approach, where the U.S. pressures Europe and Gulf nations to step up or face the consequences, warning that "we've got two or three weeks of war yet to go… with more market turbulence" ahead.
Then, Bryan pivots to space and explains why NASA's Artemis II mission is about far more than returning to the moon. At the center is the Shackleton crater, a resource-rich location that could serve as a launch point for Mars and a strategic stronghold in a growing space race with China. With Beijing refusing to sign international agreements and potentially eyeing control of the region, Bryan outlines the stakes, including the possibility of space-based weapons that could impact security here on Earth.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's April 2nd. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.3 | A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily Knoz podcast. |
| 0:22.3 | I've got two big briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:26.7 | First up, President Trump spoke to the nation last night about the war with Iran. I'll cover that, |
| 0:31.9 | giving you my unscripted analysis and opinion coming up this morning. Second, NASA's Artemis rocket blasted into the heavens yesterday, |
| 0:40.3 | taking astronauts around the moon and back over the next 10 days. |
| 0:44.3 | We are going to cover why this mission is so important to this country |
| 0:47.4 | and our race not just to the stars, but with China |
| 0:51.0 | and all to prevent them from dominating all of humanity with a space-based weapon. |
| 0:57.5 | But before we cover that, let's get to our top story of the morning with some unscripted coverage of last night's presidential address. |
| 1:05.7 | President Trump, yes, he spoke for about 20 minutes last night to all of us about the war with Iran. Most of it was scripted, |
| 1:13.4 | as he usually does as well. He went a little bit freestyle. So let's cover each of the critical |
| 1:18.9 | elements of the speech that I heard last night, and I'll offer you my assessment as we go through it. |
| 1:25.0 | First, he touched or let off, I would say, on regarding his vow that Iran |
| 1:30.7 | would never have a nuclear weapon. And he emphasized that that view of his, that promise, |
| 1:36.4 | goes back decades. In fact, back to the 1980s and also to his first presidential run in 2015. |
| 1:43.3 | In fact, I don't know if you all have seen some of the |
| 1:45.1 | social media posts that in fact he and others have posted that he talked to Barbara Walters back |
| 1:49.7 | in the late 1980s about what he would do with Iran, and it's basically what he's doing right now, |
| 1:55.1 | which is trying to take the oil and get rid of the nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, my view of |
| 1:59.7 | why he led with that last night, |
| 2:02.0 | first, it was a clear shot at what the White House is calling the new resistance, the influencers |
