Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he delivers the latest developments shaping America and the world. In today's episode, we cover:
South Korea is in political chaos after its president declared martial law, only to reverse the decision hours later under pressure from parliament. This unprecedented move has shocked the nation and allies worldwide, putting U.S. troops stationed in South Korea on high alert.
France teeters on the brink of government collapse as the nation's budget crisis fuels deeper political divisions between leftist movements and conservative factions. President Macron faces increasing pressure amid calls for his resignation, and Donald Trump's upcoming visit for the reopening of Notre Dame adds a global twist to the drama.
The Biden administration rushes an additional $725 million in military aid to Ukraine, despite warnings from the Pentagon about the country's dire need for soldiers over weapons. Meanwhile, Russia advances at the fastest pace in three years, testing Ukraine's dwindling manpower.
Listener questions take the spotlight in the second half of the episode, addressing the tragic case of unaccompanied migrant children at the U.S. border and the legal and political challenges surrounding Trump's proposed use of military forces to deport illegal immigrants.

| 0:00.0 | It's December 4th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.2 | A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.6 | I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:27.6 | First up, South Korea's president declared martial law yesterday, angering his country, shocking world leaders, |
| 0:33.5 | and putting our 30,000 U.S. troops there on edge. I'll explain what's going on. |
| 0:38.8 | Second, the government of France is set to collapse as early as today. |
| 0:42.6 | We'll talk about why, plus how Donald Trump might play a role in this fight as soon as this weekend. |
| 0:49.2 | Third, the White House just announced that it would send nearly one more billion dollars in weaponry to Ukraine, |
| 0:54.3 | but that's a little bit strange because last week they said that actually Kiev needs more fighters. |
| 1:00.0 | I'll unpack all of that, plus some big troubles in Russia's economy. |
| 1:04.9 | Fourth, we've got a couple of listener questions today. We haven't done that in a while. |
| 1:08.8 | One is about a little boy who was found on the U.S. |
| 1:11.3 | border last week. The other is a question about whether we should use the U.S. military or our |
| 1:16.7 | troops to deport illegal aliens. Some great questions today. But before we get to that, let's get |
| 1:22.9 | to that top story of the morning. South Korea is in turmoil with its president declaring martial law yesterday. |
| 1:30.2 | The parliament then revolted over that decision, tried to reverse course. That pressure then |
| 1:35.4 | prompted the president and his cabinet to reverse course. That stunning and kind of confusing |
| 1:41.2 | series of events over the past 24 or so hours has left allies at the White |
| 1:45.7 | House shocked, the people of South Korea a bit angry and confused, and our nearly 30,000 troops |
| 1:51.1 | in Seoul on edge. So what in the heck is going on? Where is this chaos likely going and why should |
| 1:58.5 | we care? Let's dive into those questions with reporting this morning |
| 2:01.8 | from the Wall Street Journal, the AFP, Reuters News Service, and local press. And let's start |
