0:00.0	It's April 11th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report.
0:16.2	A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to The Right Report, your daily news podcast.
0:22.7	It is the inaugural edition, ladies and gentlemen, of the Friday Roundup, full of news and your
0:27.5	questions that, as ever, are still shaping America and the world. First, the headlines from America.
0:35.7	The tariff wars continue this morning, as President Trump confirmed at a cabinet meeting yesterday,
