Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the political aftershocks of President Trump's record-setting State of the Union address, from new retirement proposals and Big Tech power requirements to the growing frustration over the Senate filibuster and the fate of the SAVE America Act.
Bryan then examines the sharp partisan divide on immigration, crime, parental rights, and voter ID, arguing that the speech exposed a fundamental split over who counts as an American and what the country should become.
The second half pivots global, with updates on the capture of Venezuela's Maduro, delicate negotiations with Cuba, expanding U.S. seizures of illicit oil tankers, and a looming confrontation with Iran as Tehran eyes hypersonic missiles from China. Bryan also covers the grinding war in Ukraine and why crypto markets are struggling, with nearly half of Bitcoin holders now underwater.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's February 26th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:16.2 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.0 | I've got one big set of briefs for you this morning. Holy smokes, they are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:27.8 | President Trump's State of the Union address, it touched on and is affecting so many people and markets around the world this morning, even some 36 hours after he gave it. |
| 0:37.0 | So we will go from D.C. to New York, |
| 0:39.6 | from Iran to Mexico to Cuba, Ukraine, and even to the world's crypto markets or exchanges, |
| 0:45.1 | because we are seeing news and updates on all of those topics and places, either because of |
| 0:49.0 | Trump's big speech or White House actions since then. So taken together, boy, they give us a pretty good sense |
| 0:55.5 | of the real state of our union and our world. So let's do it. Let's get to the news this morning, |
| 1:01.1 | straight to it. It was certainly a speech for the record books. President Trump's State of the |
| 1:06.4 | Union addressed clocked in at about 107 minutes, and he snatched the record for the previous longest |
| 1:11.8 | speech, which was held by himself. That was from last year's speech given by the president. |
| 1:17.5 | In these record minutes on Tuesday night, he covered a lot of domestic and global news, |
| 1:21.7 | with a lot of Democrats and global leaders responding, including, and we start with the economy. |
| 1:27.2 | That's largely what we expected to hear. President Trump took credit for a lot, and we start with the economy. And that's largely what we expected to hear. |
| 1:29.2 | President Trump took credit for a lot. |
| 1:31.2 | And the data say he's pretty much largely right. |
| 1:34.5 | We cover that extensively on Tuesday in case you miss that. |
| 1:37.4 | But he did propose a few important things that we should talk about this morning for our |
| 1:40.9 | pocketbooks. |
| 1:42.0 | First, and probably the most important, is that big tech |
