Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.
Border Standoff Escalates: Trump Defies Court Over MS-13 Deportation – A federal judge blasts the White House for failing to bring back a deported Salvadoran gang member, while Trump stands firm. Simultaneously, his administration intensifies efforts to make life so difficult for illegal immigrants that they self-deport.
China-Linked Spy Funded Boston Mayor’s Campaign – A Chinese Communist Party operative funneled over $300K to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, part of a broader pattern of Chinese influence in U.S. politics stretching back to the 1990s and the Chinagate scandal.
Tariff War Deepens: Trump’s Mixed Signals Frustrate U.S. Industry – China retaliates by banning Boeing sales, while Asian manufacturers race to beat Trump’s 90-day reprieve. U.S. companies are squeezed between cheap foreign labor and unsteady tariff enforcement.
Middle East on Edge: Iran Talks Wobble, Yemen Gears Up for War – Trump suspects Iran is stalling to build a bomb, while U.S. allies in Yemen prepare an 80,000-troop assault on the Houthis.
Jordan Foils Major Terror Plot by Palestinian Radicals – Muslim Brotherhood-linked extremists planned drone and rocket strikes, raising regional fears.
Germany’s Likely Next Chancellor Goes Full Trump on Migration – Friedrich Merz proposes cutting foreign aid to countries that won’t take back deportees, a political move to fend off rising populist competition.
Greenland Flirts with China—At Its Peril – The island’s foreign minister calls for closer ties with Beijing, drawing sharp warnings from the U.S. over national security implications.

| 0:00.0 | It's April 16th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.5 | 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. |
| 0:27.9 | First up, an Obama judge is telling the Trump White House this morning that they have done nothing to return an illegal alien from El Salvador, |
| 0:35.5 | to which the Trump team is saying, you know, you're right, |
| 0:37.7 | and we don't have to. We'll cover that and other border news coming up. |
| 0:41.9 | Second, Boston's Democrat mayor, Ms. Michelle Wu, has taken over $300,000 in campaign cash |
| 0:47.9 | from a known Chinese spy. That sounds bad, it is. That shocker coming up in just a bit. |
| 1:12.0 | Third, we've got an update this morning on the Trump tariff wars with China punching really hard at Boeing. We've got that and other updates shortly. Fourth, we go around the world this morning for updates from Iran, Jordan, Germany, and a head scratcher from Greenland. They want, apparently, to get closer to China. |
| 1:18.4 | That sounds bad. Again, it is, oh dear. But before we get to that, let's get to our top story of the morning. Obama judge, Poloshinnis, is furious with the Trump White House this morning |
| 1:23.5 | about the illegal alien that was deported to El Salvador. She said yesterday, quote, |
| 1:28.9 | to date, what the record shows is that nothing has been done to bring back Kilmore Abrego |
| 1:34.0 | Garcia. Nothing. There will be none of that tolerance for gamemanship or grandstanding in my court, |
| 1:40.0 | end quote. The Democrat judge was very angry about that case of Mr. Abrago Garcia, who of course |
| 1:45.6 | was that illegal alien deported back to his home in El Salvador weeks ago, despite a judge's |
| 1:50.5 | ruling that said he shouldn't have been. Now, as we will recall, Mr. Garcia was and is an alleged |
| 1:57.1 | MS-13 game member, at least according to U.S. and Salvadorian Intel. |
| 2:01.4 | He crossed the border, the southern border, illegally back in the year 2012. |
| 2:05.6 | He was later caught in the year 2019, and at the time, he told a judge that he didn't want |
| 2:10.4 | to go back home to El Salvador because as a gang member, rival gang members might try to |
| 2:15.4 | kill him or his family. Yeah, well, that's how it |
| 2:18.2 | usually works. Anyway, the judge incredibly at the time agreed. So he has been allowed to stay in the state |
