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:
The Assad regime in Syria has collapsed after 50 years, with President Bashar al-Assad fleeing to Russia and Turkish-backed rebels taking control of Damascus. As the nation celebrates and worries about the future under the Islamist group HTS, the U.S. grapples with its next move. President Biden insists on keeping troops in Syria, while Donald Trump argues it's time to bring them home. Meanwhile, regional powers, including Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, and Israel, are scrambling to protect their interests in the wake of this seismic shift.
We also dive into domestic politics, examining Trump's weekend discussions about immigration, energy policy, and his potential approach to tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico. Additionally, Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship is back in the spotlight, setting the stage for a major legal battle.
