0:00.0	It's March 12th. 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	I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world.
0:27.1	First up, brace for more tariffs. That was the message from President Trump yesterday to American businessman at the White House.
0:33.6	We'll talk about that coming up. Second, we had a tumultuous day with Canada yesterday with promises of tariffs and counter tariffs and cutting off of electricity.
