0:12.3	A good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast.
0:22.4	I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America and the world.
0:27.6	First up, the White House has had quite enough.
0:30.8	President Trump and his team defied a judge's ruling over the weekend and deported 238 foreign gang members to a prison in El Salvador when technically
