Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles your questions on President Trump's evolving Iran strategy, explaining why the White House is extending the ceasefire while tightening an economic blockade designed to force Tehran to negotiate without further military escalation.
He also dives into rising political tensions at home, including backlash over a Democratic senator's controversial comments on Iran, and a broader warning about what Bryan calls a "post-truth America," where opinion-driven media dominates over fact-based reporting. Drawing from personal experience, he explains how the economics of podcasting and news production are reshaping what Americans hear and believe.
Plus, Bryan exposes major fraud investigations, including allegations that a prominent nonprofit funded extremist groups it claimed to oppose and a massive Medicare hospice scam affecting vulnerable seniors in California. He also unpacks a viral historical claim about Albert Einstein and Zionism, separating fact from fiction, and closes with a powerful story about how the podcast has made a real impact on listeners' lives.

| 0:35.7 | Southern California writes in asking Brian, it seems like Trump is switching things around on his Iran strategy, and I'm hearing reading that it kind of looks weak. |

| 1:07.5 | extending the ceasefire, which is opposite of what he said on Monday. |
