Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles listener questions on the war with Iran, arguing that President Trump and Vice President Vance may be underestimating the IRGC and clerical regime's willingness to endure economic pain, reject peace, and sacrifice their own people for an Islamist cause.
He also answers questions on China's role in Iran and Ukraine, warning that President Xi cannot be trusted to stop sending weapons or military support while Beijing works to weaken the United States without firing a direct shot. Bryan then lays out what he would tell President Trump privately, why he rejects more Chinese students and farmland purchases in America, and what he sees as the best national security strategy: pivot away from Europe and the Middle East, focus on the Americas, counter China in the Pacific, and protect U.S. interests in Africa.
Plus, Bryan covers frustrations over Deep State accountability, the SAVE Act and filibuster, Chinese influence in California politics, and why America's refinery system is mismatched with the oil it produces. He also responds to questions on Colorado's magazine limits, Flock surveillance cameras, and his own political journey from old-school Democrat roots to today's conservative outlook, reflecting on how faith, community, purpose, and meaning may offer a path back from national chaos.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's May 20th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:12.2 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News Podcast. |
| 0:22.0 | It is our Wednesday Q&A, an episode built by you and your questions with My Facts and Intel and Analysis on events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:32.5 | Let's kick off this morning, starting with a focus on global news, and then we will tackle some domestic |
| 0:38.1 | events later on. |
| 0:39.2 | But first, we've got a question about this crazy stuff in Iran. |
| 0:43.9 | Mr. Charlie in Abilene, Texas is asking, Brian, the vice president said yesterday that Iran |
| 0:49.3 | wants to do a deal. |
| 0:51.2 | Trump is saying the same thing, but it's hard to square what they're saying with what |
| 0:55.4 | you keep sharing on the podcast and what my own eyeballs are seeing. Your thoughts. All right, |
| 1:01.7 | well, Charlie, I have great respect for the vice president, really and truly I do. Just an incredible |
| 1:06.7 | guy and what an amazing life. And I think that the President Trump is quite earnest in trying to |
| 1:13.2 | ensure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, but I think that this war has gotten out of hand |
| 1:18.3 | for them. I think that they started with some major assumptions about the Iranians and how quickly |
| 1:23.4 | that they would fold, of course, back in February and into March when things first kicked off. |
| 1:28.5 | And that led to a bunch of Venezuela-like assumptions of us taking over the country, picking Tehran's |
| 1:33.9 | due leadership, or if we really had to, having the Kurds do some of it or all of it for us. |
| 1:39.1 | And also, we were told that that process would take four to six weeks. |
| 1:43.2 | Well, now here we are, 12 weeks into this |
| 1:46.5 | conflict. So then what does the future hold? And does Iran really want to do a deal? Well, first, |
| 1:53.0 | let's just make sure we're all tracking here. Who do we really mean when we say Iran wants to make a deal? |
| 1:59.1 | Because if we're talking about the Iranian people who just want to |
