A landmark legal ruling closes the week as a Wisconsin judge is found guilty of obstructing federal immigration agents, becoming the first state judge convicted for blocking an ICE arrest. Meanwhile, the man behind the Brown University shooting is identified after killing himself during a police standoff, with authorities confirming he was also responsible for the murder of an MIT professor. The case raises new questions about migrant crime, visa pathways, and possible foreign intelligence angles tied to nuclear research.
The White House signals a tougher stance on immigration enforcement, moving to sharply increase denaturalization cases while warning that current citizenship laws are being exploited. President Trump also advances plans to reclassify marijuana to encourage research, finalizes a deal forcing TikTok's Chinese owner to sell most of its US stake, and prepares to decide whether Chinese drone maker DJI poses a national security threat.
Abroad, Venezuela deploys naval escorts to protect oil shipments amid a US blockade, raising the risk of direct confrontation. Trump's Gaza peace plan stalls as Israel continues targeting Hamas leaders, even as another US-backed peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan quietly holds. The episode closes with Bryan previewing a special unscripted, listener-driven series for Christmas week.

| 0:00.0 | It's December 19th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.3 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Wright Report, your Daily News |
| 0:21.0 | podcast. I've got a Friday radar brief for you this morning, news and topics to put on your |
| 0:26.5 | radars for the weekend, so we can discuss it all next week more, but it's still going to be news |
| 0:31.2 | that, as ever, is shaping America and the world. On the domestic front this morning, guilty |
| 0:36.9 | as charged. That is the ruling against |
| 0:40.1 | the Democrat Milwaukee County Judge Kanadugan. She's the judge that will remember help that |
| 0:44.8 | Mexican illegal alien escape from her courtroom last spring. As Milwaukee press report, |
| 0:50.2 | a jury found her guilty of a felony count of obstructing federal agents trying to make that arrest. |
| 0:55.9 | And she certainly did that. |
| 0:57.5 | This makes for the first state judge that has gone to trial on charges of obstructing immigration agents |
| 1:02.1 | and also to be found guilty. |
| 1:04.1 | So a big, big case, very president-making. |
| 1:07.2 | We will remember this morning that Democrats in the state last spring, along with Senate and House Democrats in D.C., rallied to her defense when she was, of course, arrested, calling the administration's arrest of her an act of a Nazi fascist government. |
| 1:21.7 | In fact, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York was but one of them who said that back in D.C. A jury of her peers, however, just disagreed. |
| 1:30.2 | Sentencing will be scheduled for earlier next year, but here's something about this case that |
| 1:34.4 | might drive you a little bit bonkers. She will continue to collect her salary of $175,000 a year |
| 1:40.9 | until this is resolved. So that's neat. Anyway, let's put this on our radars and |
| 1:46.7 | come back to it as we get reactions from the left over the next number of days and whether or how |
| 1:51.9 | Democrats rally further to her cause. Because folks, if I can go a little bit unscripted for a second, |
| 1:58.3 | this case is going to be very, very telling about how far the left will go |
| 2:02.6 | in this country. Remember, over the past number of months, we've had senators and others on Capitol |
