Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world.
Epstein Case Reignites as Trump Calls for Transparency
President Trump reverses course and says credible Epstein files should be released. This comes amid new analysis showing missing jail footage from the night Epstein died, raising fresh suspicions about foul play. House Democrats demand full disclosure, while Bryan calls out AG Pam Bondi for mishandling the case.
Trump's Economic Agenda Delivers Wins on Minerals, Trade, and Energy
The Pentagon and private firms like Apple ramp up investment in U.S. rare earth minerals to cut dependence on China. Trump signs a new trade deal with Indonesia requiring $20 billion in U.S. imports and cooperation to stop Chinese transshipment. Meanwhile, tech giants pledge $56 billion for new AI centers in Pennsylvania, driving demand for nuclear, hydro, and grid expansion.
Inflation Holds at 2.7% Amid Questions Over Federal Data Accuracy
June's CPI report shows mild inflation, suggesting tariffs aren't yet hitting consumers. But 35% of prices were estimated, not observed. Fueling concerns the Fed may be basing decisions on faulty data. Bryan warns this could keep interest rates unnecessarily high.
Trump Tactics with Russia: Escalate to De-Escalate
Trump reportedly encouraged Ukraine to consider striking Moscow to push Putin toward a ceasefire. Though he walked it back publicly, Bryan explains this could be a calculated bluff to pressure the Kremlin as the 50-day ceasefire deadline nears.
Syrian Massacre Tests Trump and U.S. Intelligence
Syrian troops allied with radical Sunni tribes slaughter over 160 Druze civilians, contradicting assurances that President al-Sharaa was a reformed Islamic leader. Israel launched airstrikes to halt the killings, but Trump asks them to hold off. Bryan questions whether U.S. intel got it wrong—or if al-Sharaa has lost control.
Anti-Nausea Drug May Cut Breast Cancer Deaths
A Norwegian study finds aprepitant, a common nausea medication, reduces cancer relapse and mortality, especially in aggressive triple-negative cases. Researchers are unsure why, but the drug shows potential as a powerful new ally in chemo treatment.

| 0:00.0 | It's July 16th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:08.5 | A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Wright Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.8 | I've got three briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:27.8 | First up, the Jeffrey Epstein case is not going away, and President Trump actually agrees with that. |
| 0:33.0 | He now says it's time to release more files. We've got that big update plus new analysis on the jail |
| 0:39.1 | video of the night that Epstein died. It appears that there are three minutes missing. |
| 0:44.8 | Second, we've got some good economic news to cover this morning from the mineral wars, |
| 0:49.1 | the tariff wars, U.S. energy production, and inflation. Third, we go around the globe this morning with the first stop |
| 0:55.8 | in Ukraine with a pretty big shifting Trump strategy about whether or not to bomb Moscow with |
| 1:01.6 | Western weapons. Also, some bad news out of Syria this morning that suggests that that Islamic |
| 1:07.0 | government in Syria, Damascus, they have not dropped their radical Islamic ways, as we had |
| 1:12.5 | hoped. Later, we stop in Norway this morning for some absolutely wonderful medical news for women |
| 1:18.5 | with breast cancer. But first, let's get to our top stories of the morning, although we are |

| 1:28.2 | late yesterday announced that 2,000 of the 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles are now |
| 1:33.9 | being released from duty. Spokesman Sean Parnell said that the mission has been almost accomplished. |
| 1:40.1 | The men and women of the Guard have restored law and order in that city after the grave |
| 1:44.1 | violence from those migrant activists last month. |
| 1:47.5 | While 2,000 of these guardsmen are now to be released from federal control, the other 2,000 will remain, along with 700 active duty Marines. |
| 1:55.9 | All will remain in Los Angeles. |
| 1:58.1 | We'll come back to this tomorrow as part of an update on immigration and the |
