President Trump hits the road as the White House works to steady voter confidence on the economy. While wages and inflation show improvement, layoffs and weak manufacturing numbers create new political pressure.
In Minnesota, the billion-dollar Somali fraud scandal widens, raising fresh questions for state leaders. New twists emerge in the Capitol pipe bomber case as lawmakers challenge the FBI's past testimony.
Debate intensifies over Trump's drone strikes in the Caribbean, with Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul pushing for full transparency. Trump also expresses regret over his pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar after the congressman reenters the race.
On the immigration front, illegal aliens now face steep federal fines, and New York's release of violent offenders sparks renewed controversy. Meanwhile, a surprising new poll shows many Mexicans open to US military action against cartels, setting up a major geopolitical storyline.

| 0:00.0 | It's December 8th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.2 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Wright Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.6 | It's Monday's headline brief, heavy on news, light on analysis, launching us into a new week with events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:32.3 | We begin with domestic news this morning, starting with President Trump's big road trip. |
| 0:36.8 | Bloomberg, the Wall Street |
| 0:37.8 | Journal and Fortune magazine report that President Trump is off to Pennsylvania tomorrow. |
| 0:42.2 | The focus is going to be on your pocketbooks and why so many folks out there say that they have |
| 0:46.6 | soured on the Trump economy. As we covered a couple weeks ago, internal polls from the White |
| 0:51.6 | House do show a softening of support for the president and his |
| 0:54.5 | economic agenda, although Mr. Trump is not so fully convinced of that. He says that there is no |

| 1:26.9 | there is a lot of good |
| 1:28.5 | economic news to celebrate. So let's talk about whether or not he is right this morning. |

| 1:38.6 | comfortably ahead of inflation, which is now effectively under control at about 2.8%, a little bit hotter than what the Fed would like, |
| 1:46.0 | but there you go. Still, this comes after years of skyrocketing inflation under the Joe Biden |
| 1:51.1 | administration, which, as we all remember, hit upwards of 9% inflation. So we've got some Biden |
