Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.
India-Pakistan Clash Escalates, Nuclear Stakes Rise – India confirms precision strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan following a deadly Islamist attack in Kashmir. Pakistan claims civilian deaths and says it downed two Indian jets. Amid mutual denials and rising rhetoric, concerns grow over Islamabad’s long-range missile development reportedly capable of hitting the U.S.
Trump Brokers Red Sea Truce with Houthis - Sort Of – President Trump halts bombing in Yemen following a U.S.-brokered agreement for the Houthis to stop targeting Red Sea shipping. But the militants vow to keep attacking Israel, raising uncertainty about the deal’s durability.
Sudan’s Port City Attacked, Global Gum Arabic Supply Threatened – RSF rebels launch drone strikes on Port Sudan, crippling the country’s main export hub for gum arabic—a critical ingredient in food and medicine. The UAE is accused of backing the rebels.
OPEC Quietly Helps Trump Squeeze Putin – Saudi Arabia and other producers increase oil output, crashing prices and cutting into Russia’s war budget. Trump hints this pressure campaign could yield a major Middle East breakthrough in the coming days.
U.S.-China Trade Talks Resume Publicly Amid Factory Panic – After weeks of secret meetings, Treasury and trade officials from both nations will meet Friday in Switzerland. Chinese firms, desperate to survive tariff shocks, are fraudulently relabeling goods and rerouting exports through Malaysia and Canada.
Canada Flooded with Chinese Goods, U.S. Warns of Backdoor Imports – Trump raises concerns that Chinese products are being funneled into the U.S. via Canada. Canadian PM Mark Carney flatters Trump in hopes of avoiding a trade fight, but tensions remain high.
Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Military Ban on Transgender Recruits – In a 6-3 ruling, justices affirm the Pentagon’s authority to exclude or remove individuals with gender dysphoria from military service.
Trump Orders Lia Thomas Records Erased, Columbia Fires 180 Researchers – The administration enforces Title IX, demanding Penn strip Lia Thomas’ swimming records. Separately, Columbia lays off staff after Trump slashes funding over anti-Semitism concerns.
DOJ Investigates Minnesota DA for Race-Based Prosecution Policy – The Soros-backed DA who dropped charges against a Tesla vandal now faces scrutiny for admitting race influences her charging decisions. The DOJ warns this violates civil rights law.

| 0:00.0 | It's May 7th. 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 news podcast. |
| 0:22.7 | I've got a morning full of news, folks, with one theme, the theme of war and peace. |
| 0:27.2 | There is so much to talk about that. As ever, it is going to be shaping America and the world. |
| 0:33.3 | We start with a looming war between India and Pakistan this morning. |
| 0:37.7 | The government of India has acknowledged that it attacked at least nine sites in Pakistan overnight |
| 0:42.5 | in retaliation for that deadly Islamic militant attack a couple weeks ago on Hindu tourists in that disputed region of Kashmir. |

| 1:34.7 | neighbors are now in a dangerous period of escalation. In fact, Pakistan is claiming this morning |
| 1:39.7 | that they shot down two Indian jets last night during New Delhi's counterterror operations. |
| 1:45.3 | As of this recording, though, India's prime minister has yet to confirm or deny that. |
| 1:50.1 | We should also know this this morning. |
