Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down the latest developments in the Trump presidency's shock and awe campaign. In today's episode, we cover:
The Federal Government Shakeup Continues: Trump's government efficiency group, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, expands buyout offers to federal employees—sparking lawsuits, union protests, and a court battle that could go all the way to the Supreme Court.
USAID Slashed by 94%: The agency is reduced from 10,000 employees to just 600, leaving contractors and Democrats in shock as lawsuits attempt to stop the cuts.
Treasury Department Showdown: A federal judge blocks Trump's DOGE team from accessing key Treasury databases, but a workaround is already in motion with a new forensic audit.
Biden's National Security Access Revoked: Trump strips Joe Biden and key former officials of security clearances, citing national security concerns and Biden's classified document scandal.
Public Opinion on Trump's Blitz: New polls show that while Trump's aggressive approach is winning support, concerns remain over economic issues and his handling of the Gaza crisis.
Stay informed as Bryan delivers the facts, analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

| 0:00.0 | It's February 10th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.1 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | I've got continuing coverage for you this morning on what we shall call the Shackin'aw campaign. |
| 0:27.5 | That is the Trump presidency. That started just three weeks ago today. |
| 0:32.5 | So we are going to cover the latest from Friday and over the weekend about this whirlwind of a Trump presidency, |
| 0:38.2 | with briefs in all that are still going to shape America and the world. |
| 0:43.2 | And we begin with this. President Trump's government efficiency group, Doge. |
| 0:47.7 | They continue to lay waste this morning to government waste, or at least that is the argument |
| 0:53.3 | being made by the president and his |
| 0:55.3 | Doge leader, Mr. Elon Musk. Democrats, however, and government unions are not quite so convinced. |
| 1:01.6 | And yet, as we covered three weeks ago, President Trump continues to make the argument that |
| 1:05.5 | something dramatic has to be done to save the nation. On Friday, we got some confirmation |
| 1:10.6 | that that might just be true. |
| 1:12.4 | The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. government's headcount |

| 1:19.0 | We are now at 2.42 million civilian federal workers. |
| 1:24.0 | And that is a part of the reason for why, of course, the U.S. federal deficit |
| 1:27.0 | is now at |
| 1:28.0 | around $2 trillion each year. The national debt, obviously much higher than that, $36 trillion. |
| 1:33.6 | And that is unsustainable. And that is according to bipartisan sets of economists and U.S. bondholders. |
| 1:40.0 | Also on Friday, we should know this. It's a shocker. The Center for Immigration Studies found that since the year 2020, 80% of job growth in this country has gone to illegal aliens or legal immigrants. |
