| 0:00.0 | It's January 10th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:08.0 | A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.5 | It's Friday's headline brief, heavy on news, light on analysis, launching us into the weekend with events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:33.0 | We begin with domestic news this morning, starting with updates from California. |
| 0:38.9 | The LA Times reports that over 6,000 structures have been lost in the Palisades fire alone. That is up from just |
| 0:44.1 | 1,000 structures initially reported. At least 4,000 other buildings have been lost in the Eden, |

| 1:38.4 | TV the skeletons of victims who are lying in the ashes. |
| 1:44.1 | Homicide crews are now busy at work, and so to police. |
| 1:47.0 | There have been at least 20 arrests of looters going through these very wealthy homes and neighborhoods. |
| 1:53.0 | Also, I should tell you, I have some low-to-medium-confidence reports that some of the looters |
