Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Special Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on ICE training standards, self-deportation incentives, birthright citizenship abuses, and the massive fraud cases unfolding in Minnesota and beyond.

He explains why claims that ICE officers are poorly trained are misleading, breaks down the cost-benefit math behind paying illegal aliens to self-deport, and exposes how birth tourism has allowed foreign nationals to exploit American citizenship and voting rights. Bryan also offers a candid assessment of why arrests in Minnesota are slow, pointing to internal resistance within the DOJ and FBI, and urges patience as federal authorities work through what he calls industrial-scale corruption.

The episode then turns global, with Bryan unpacking the emerging U.S.-Greenland framework, critiquing Europe's political, cultural, and energy weakness, and offering rare insight into how President Trump thinks and negotiates. Drawing a historical parallel to President James Polk, Bryan explains why Trump's aggressive style may be deliberate and effective, even when it unsettles allies.
