Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In today’s episode, we cover:

Trump Reshapes the Middle East – The president lifts U.S. sanctions on Syria, engages in secret negotiations with Hamas leading to a hostage release, and pressures Iran with a mix of diplomacy and subtle military signals. Major weapons and AI chip deals unfold with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.

China Caught Evading Oil Sanctions – Beijing secretly buys Venezuelan oil using transponder tricks and false documentation. The move could trigger a 25% tariff hike under Trump’s secondary sanctions policy.

FBI Prioritizes Immigration After UK Bomb Plot – The FBI redirects resources to immigration enforcement, sparking Democratic backlash, just as Iranian saboteurs posing as asylum seekers are caught attempting to bomb the Israeli embassy in London.

Listener Mailbag: The China Pivot and Trump Loyalty Debate – Bryan responds to listener feedback over his criticism of Trump’s China tariff reversal and Qatar jet acceptance, offering candid insight into the national security stakes behind U.S.-China policy.

0:00.0	It's May 14th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report.
0:08.2	A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast.
0:22.6	I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world.
0:27.3	First up, it is a day of hope and gambles and intrigue in the Middle East as President Trump continues his tour of the region.
0:34.8	We've got updates on how the president is reshaping the Middle East this
0:38.2	morning from a shocker in Syria to big, big deals in Saudi Arabia. Second, President Trump is
0:44.2	facing his first big challenge with China after announcing the tariff truce. Beijing is
0:49.3	secretly buying Venezuelan oil this morning, and that should prompt another 25% tariff.
0:55.5	Third, Democrats are angry this morning that the Trump FBI is prioritizing the capture

1:15.4	by the Trump White House, along with the Qatar airplane deal.

1:28.4	emotional rant and silly opposition. So we're going to cover that. Plus news about who Democrats
1:34.7	actually want to choose for the presidency in 28. Texas Democrat complains this morning that
1:40.0	it's going to be, quote, a plain old white boy, end quote. Okay, that's great. So before we get to that,
1:46.1	though, let's get to our top stories of the morning. We begin in the Middle East with news of hope
1:51.8	and gambols and intrigue as President Trump is in Saudi Arabia and Qatar later today. And then
1:57.1	off to the United Arab Emirates tomorrow. And what a past 24 hours it has been.
