Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks President Trump's surprise threat to bomb Oman over a brewing scheme with Iran to charge tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan breaks down the escalating chess match in the Middle East, including fresh Iranian drone attacks on commercial vessels, Trump's strategy to strip Tehran of its midterm election leverage, and the White House's plan to recognize Somaliland as a wedge against Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. He then pivots to a wave of domestic immigration reforms, from a new executive order pushing banks to flag illegal aliens, to a return of the pre-1960s rule requiring green card applicants to wait abroad, to the proposed "Cranky Flier" program targeting international flights into sanctuary cities. The WSJ's reporting on shoddy new home construction tied to unqualified foreign labor adds a sharp twist to the labor debate. Plus, Ken Paxton's primary win over John Cornyn in Texas raises the question of whether Trump will turn his war chest on RINO Republicans, and Bryan closes with promising medical news on pancreatic cancer, why a father's weight before conception shapes his child's metabolic health, and what scientists just learned about the brain's two washing systems during deep sleep.

The Esports World Cup 2026 will not be in Riyadh, and the industry that couldn't stop tweeting five years ago has gone completely silent. Thorin, Richard Lewis, and MonteCristo reunite to break down what the EWC's last-minute move to Paris actually reveals about the Saudi Arabian sportswashing project. The official line is that this was always part of the plan. The reality, per Richard's reporting, is that boots-on-the-ground staff were being told it was 100% Riyadh the day before the announcement. That gap between the press release and what people were actually told is the whole story.

Ghost returns from a week off and opens with an unplanned ferry pass by Epstein Island before diving into the week's biggest stories. Trump and Nigeria jointly eliminated ISIS's global second-in-command Abu Balal al-Manouki, the man behind the 2014 Chibok schoolgirl kidnappings. Ghost reframes the operation not as a threat to the Alliance of Sahel States but as Trump cleaning up a deep state creation, and walks through how US aid money routed through Ukraine funded ISIS proxies in Mali. A rare Ebola strain has erupted in Congo's Ituri province with the WHO declaring a public health emergency, and Ghost ties it directly to the ongoing rare earth mineral conflict and the deep state's losing battle for control of Eastern Congo. Trump publicly asked MBS, MBZ, and Qatar's emir to pause Iran strikes, confirming the Arabs never wanted war. Trump met Xi in China, Putin heads to Beijing for his 25th visit, and a Saudi/Pakistan defense pact is expanding toward Qatar and Turkey. Iraq and Pakistan signed bilateral energy transit deals with Iran, and Ghost maps out a potential Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline corridor. The episode closes with a deep dive into Alex Saab's deportation from Venezuela and PDVSA's own 2015 financial documents showing the Venezuelan government as the original victim of deep state-linked corruption.
Today's Headlines: Trump is reportedly willing to drop his $10 billion IRS lawsuit in exchange for a $1.7 billion government slush fund to pay out political allies — including $230 million for himself, a waiver on all family tax audits, and a public IRS apology — totally extortion. Meanwhile, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, one of the only Republicans who voted to convict Trump after January 6th, lost his primary and became the first senator in 12 years to lose one, because minimal backbone has a price in today's GOP. Because hantavirus clearly wasn't enough to worry about, the WHO declared Ebola a global health emergency after outbreaks in Uganda and the DRC with 246 suspected cases, no available vaccine, and no functioning USAID to help — and the person Trump put in charge of the hantavirus response is a urologist who specializes in penile implants and has promoted pandemic conspiracy theories, so we're in great hands. In other news, Trump's new counterterrorism strategy ranks drug cartels above Islamist militants, considers leftists on par with al-Qaeda, and doesn't mention far-right extremism at all, though Sebastian Gorka did find time to call out Tucker Carlson specifically. In global matters, a commander of Iranian-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah was charged with plotting attacks on 20 Jewish sites across the US, Europe, and Canada, a drone struck a UAE nuclear power plant with no injuries, and Trump told Axios Iran will get "hit much harder" despite having no leverage — while US officials now believe China will invade Taiwan within four years, Cuba has acquired 300 military drones from Russia and Iran and is reportedly eyeing Guantanamo Bay or Key West, and Ukraine launched its largest drone attack of the entire war — 600 drones across 14 Russian regions — in retaliation for Russia's assault last week. Finally, Harvey Weinstein's third trial ended in a mistrial after nine of twelve mostly-male jurors wanted to acquit him, a French judge opened an inquiry into MBS's role in Khashoggi's murder, and Everlane is being acquired by Shein for $100 million.

In today's episode, we go through the recent performance of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Plus, Robbie sits down with Flex's Ryan Metcalf for a discussion on how financial fragility is reshaping the foundation of homeownership demand, challenging traditional credit models, and forcing lenders and policymakers to rethink risk, readiness, and the role of demand-side solutions.

Ghost opens episode 106 with the Senate hearing where Lindsey Graham attacks Pakistan as mediator, then cuts to Trump defending Pakistan's field marshal and prime minister in real time. Two landmark op-eds frame the hour: Robert Kagan's Atlantic piece declaring the Iran confrontation a strategic defeat for US-led hegemony, and Prince Turki al-Faisal's Arab News essay crediting MBS with quietly pulling the rug out from under the war's advocates. Ghost walks through reports of secret UAE and Saudi strikes on Iran, calling them psyops aimed at fracturing Muslim world unity. Israel's Starlink de-anonymizing tool surfaces as confirmation of Ghost's theory about Russian intelligence helping Iran identify Mossad and CIA protest operators. At home in Israel, the Haredi factions move to dissolve the Knesset after Netanyahu fails to deliver the Yeshiva draft exemption, with the IDF chief warning the military will collapse without 12,000 new recruits immediately. Smotrich says publicly the war must end with expanded Israeli borders. The World Jewish Congress governing board meeting closes the episode with Ronald Lauder calling for more aggressive hate speech prosecution and the Axel Springer CEO declaring Europe must become more Jewish.
JB White opens with Trump dressing down an ABC reporter at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and uses it to make a broader point about the deliberate destruction of beauty, standards, and journalism as a profession. He then reads Tom Luongo's sharp breakdown of why the Strait of Hormuz standoff is theater, not strength: Iran has no money, no hard power, and is manipulating oil futures because it has nothing else left. JB pivots to the emerging I2U2 alliance between India, Israel, the UAE, and the US, and explains why MBS has been quietly outmaneuvered by MBZ. The episode closes with a big one: Elon Musk folding xAI into SpaceX and leasing Colossus 1 to Anthropic, with orbital AI data centers now a serious near-term engineering conversation. JB calls it what it is: confirmation of an unassailable American technological lead that no adversary can match.

Mortgage rates are under pressure again — and this time the trigger is bigger than just the Fed.In today's video, I break down why the mortgage market just got dangerous, how rising oil prices, Iran / Strait of Hormuz tensions, inflation fears, the 10-Year Treasury, and mortgage-backed securities are all working together to push rates higher.If you're buying a home, refinancing, or trying to decide whether to lock or float, this is the kind of market you need to understand before making a move.Today we cover:• Why mortgage rates are moving higher• What the MBS / mortgage bond chart is telling us• How oil prices impact inflation and mortgage rates• Why Iran and the Strait of Hormuz matter to U.S. homebuyers• What the 10-Year Treasury is signaling• Why strong corporate earnings may not automatically help rates• Whether today's market favors locking or floating• What homeowners and buyers should watch nextThe big takeaway: mortgage rates do not move just because of the Fed. They move because of the bond market — and right now the bond market is watching oil, inflation, war risk, economic data, and Treasury yields.If you are closing soon, this is not a lazy float market. If you are shopping for a home or considering a refinance, make sure you understand the numbers before you make a decision.

JB White closes out the Alexander Muse deep dive on Scott Bessent's dollar swap line doctrine and delivers the five-point grand strategy summary that ties the whole thing together: patient, profitable, protective of the American taxpayer, requiring no troops, and built to make alternative payment systems structurally irrelevant. He also shares an Indian geopolitical chart framing America as the clear dominant power, China as an aspiring power in decline, and argues the UAE has quietly outmaneuvered MBS with a smarter regional alliance. The Supreme Court's race-based redistricting ruling gets a sharp breakdown through John Tillman's lens: sixty years of guaranteed seats in the safest minority Democratic districts produced the worst schools, the highest murder rates, and zero competitive accountability. JB also floats a Trumpian theory about King Charles and Parliament that nobody else is talking about.
Yasmina Asrarguis est une ancienne diplomate et doctorante spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, autrice de "Le mirage de la paix". C'est également une personne que je connais depuis un moment et je suis son travail de près.Son livre est construit sur des archives diplomatiques inédites, des conversations téléphoniques entre présidents, et des années d'enquête sur les coulisses de ce conflit que tout le monde commente et que presque personne ne comprend vraiment.Il est rare que je reçoive quelqu'un qui cumule à la fois l'expérience du terrain diplomatique, la rigueur académique et la capacité à tout remettre dans un récit qui tient. Avec Yasmina, on s'est connus avant qu'elle sorte ce bouquin, et je savais que cette conversation allait être différente. Elle est jeune, femme, maghrébine, et elle parle d'un sujet que la diplomatie a toujours réservé aux hommes d'un certain âge. C'est déjà en soi quelque chose.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons des deux grandes forces qui rendent la paix impossible aujourd'hui : les idéologues messianiques (des deux côtés) et les acteurs opportunistes qui font de la géopolitique comme on fait des affaires. J'ai questionné Yasmina sur pourquoi le 7 octobre était en réalité une réponse à un accord de paix qui était sur le point d'être signé, sur ce que Kissinger avait vraiment compris que personne n'a retenu, sur l'enrichissement personnel de Trump comme boussole de sa politique étrangère, et sur ce qui, malgré tout, lui donne envie du futur dans cette région.Citations marquantes"Tant qu'on aura des idéologues d'une part, et des acteurs fortement opportunistes qui ont le pouvoir dans certaines capitales, il sera extrêmement compliqué de voir advenir une paix civilisationnelle.""Le 7 octobre, c'est véritablement le conseil du Hamas qui se réunit pour une réunion d'urgence et qui dit : il nous faut agir extrêmement vite pour empêcher la reconnaissance.""Le business peut générer de la dépendance. Mais pas de la confiance. Ce ne sont pas les mêmes acteurs.""On est passé d'une Amérique où il y avait cette idée de rêve américain. Aujourd'hui, c'est juste le rêve de Trump.""Ce que l'on voit à savoir la guerre, le sang, la revanche — ce n'est pas le lot commun du Moyen-Orient. C'est aussi une région de beauté infinie, d'une jeunesse pleine de rêves."Grandes idées discutées1. Idéologues vs opportunistes : le cocktail qui rend la paix impossible (~0:05:35 – 0:09:44) D'un côté les messianismes (évangélique américain, religieux israélien, islamiste arabe). De l'autre, une "business diplomacy" trumpiste qui traite la région comme un marché. Ces deux logiques s'excluent mutuellement — et aucune ne pense aux populations. Tant que ce duo est aux commandes, la paix n'est pas un horizon réel.2. La paix par la prospérité, puis la paix par la force — deux échecs annoncés (~0:09:57 – 0:13:00) Trump a d'abord testé la "paix par la prospérité" (accords d'Abraham). Après le 7 octobre, il est passé à la "paix par la force" (guerres en Iran). Aucune des deux n'intègre les populations civiles. C'est une géopolitique de businessmen qui ignorent que la paix se construit avec les gens, pas autour d'eux.3. Le 7 octobre comme réponse directe à la normalisation saoudienne (~1:04:00 – 1:07:38) Ce que j'ignorais et que Yasmina documente dans son livre : le Hamas a lancé les attaques du 7 octobre en réaction directe à la normalisation imminente entre Israël et l'Arabie Saoudite. MBS était apparu sur Fox News pour dire que la reconnaissance était prochaine. Le Hamas ne pouvait pas atteindre les dirigeants, alors il a frappé la population civile pour créer une surréaction qui rendrait la normalisation impossible. Deux ans après, ça a marché.4. Trump, l'enrichissement personnel comme boussole géopolitique (~0:48:15 – 0:55:54) Ce n'est pas une thèse complotiste — c'est documenté. Avant chaque déplacement dans la région, c'est le fils de Trump qui signe les contrats. Des achats de drones et d'hydrocarbures dans le premier cercle présidentiel quelques jours avant la guerre en Iran. Un avion présidentiel offert par le Qatar. Une rivière à 40 km de Doha. Yasmina le dit avec des chiffres, pas des opinions.5. La confiance ne se bâtit pas avec des contrats, mais avec de l'éducation et de la culture (~1:09:09 – 1:13:35) L'exemple franco-allemand est là : personne en 1945 n'aurait parié sur cette réconciliation. Ce qui a marché, ce n'est pas le business. C'est Erasmus, l'apprentissage des langues, la codépendance culturelle. C'est ça que le Moyen-Orient n'a pas encore eu le droit d'expérimenter.6. Hamas et gouvernance par la peur — le paradoxe des sondages (~0:56:41 – 1:01:02) Un chiffre contre-intuitif : l'adhésion au Hamas est plus forte dans les territoires gouvernés par l'Autorité palestinienne que dans ceux gouvernés par le Hamas lui-même. Les populations qui vivent sous le régime connaissent la réalité. Celles qui n'y sont pas ont encore le fantasme. Même mécanique qu'en Iran.7. La jeunesse comme seule vraie variable d'espoir (~1:17:49 – 1:21:48) Pas le business. Pas les PDG. La jeunesse — diplomates de 30 ans, entrepreneurs locaux, femmes qui prennent la parole. Une région qui est aussi de beauté et de rêves, pas seulement de destruction. C'est la seule chose qui donne envie du futur à Yasmina. Et après cette conversation, à moi aussi.Questions posées dans l'interviewC'est quoi, selon toi, les dynamiques dans le Moyen-Orient que la majorité des gens ne comprennent pas ?Quand ils parlent de paix, dans aucun des cas ils envisagent les humains qui sont sur place — tu confirmes ?Est-ce que le gouvernement Netanyahou est symétrique à l'Iran dans sa logique messianique ?Y a-t-il vraiment une scission profonde dans la société israélienne, ou c'est du bruit médiatique ?Pourquoi un certain nombre de personnes de confession juive ne sont pas nécessairement sionistes ?Est-ce juste de dire que l'État d'Israël est né de l'antisémitisme européen ?Quel a été le rôle de la guerre froide dans la région, et comment Kissinger a tout changé ?Comment le Hamas a réussi à prendre autant de pouvoir en Palestine ?Y a-t-il une volonté réelle d'une solution à deux États, côté Netanyahou, côté Hamas, côté Hezbollah ?Qu'est-ce qui te donne envie du futur dans cette région, malgré tout ce qu'on vient de dire ?Références citéesLivresLe mirage de la paix — Yasmina Asraragiz (son propre livre, fil rouge de l'entretien)Accords et documents historiquesDéclaration Balfour (document britannique autorisant la création d'un État israélien) — ~0:31:46Accords d'Oslo (Israël / Autorité palestinienne, Rabin / Arafat) — ~1:02:49Accords de Camp David (Israël / Égypte, Sadat / Begin) — ~1:03:30Accords d'Abraham (normalisation entre Israël et pays arabes) — ~0:10:30Personnalités historiquesThéodore Herzl (fondateur du sionisme) — ~0:28:09Henry Kissinger (diplomatie navette, guerre de Yom Kippour) — ~0:37:27 et ~0:39:52Anwar Sadat (assassiné après Camp David) — ~1:03:36Yitzhak Rabin (assassiné après Oslo) — ~1:02:49Golda Meir — ~0:40:19Ben Gurion — ~0:29:00Personnalités contemporainesCharlie Kirk (messianisme évangélique US) — ~0:05:35Donald Trump et Jared Kushner — ~0:46:00 / ~0:48:15Steve Witkoff (envoyé spécial US au Moyen-Orient) — ~0:07:00Mohamed Ben Salman (MBS) — ~1:04:30Itamar Ben Gvir et Bezalel Smotrich (extrême droite israélienne) — ~0:26:00Netanyahou — multiple occurrencesReza Pahlavi (cité comme potentiel successeur du régime iranien) — ~0:13:00ÉvénementsGuerre de Yom Kippour (1973) — ~0:38:00Guerre des Six Jours — ~0:39:52Guerre civile libanaise / guerres israélo-libanaises — ~0:19:507 octobre 2023 — ~1:04:00Embargo pétrolier arabe de 1973 — ~0:38:30Crise du canal de Suez — ~0:43:10Afghanistan / Al-Qaïda / talibans (financement CIA) — ~0:43:29InstitutionsONU / Conseil de sécurité — ~0:14:07FINUL (force de l'ONU au Liban) — ~0:20:30Congrès américain — ~1:05:00Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 — Introduction Gregory présente le podcast et pose la question fondatrice : peut-on encore se réjouir du futur ?00:34 — Qui est Yasmina ?

Yasmina explique le coût psychique de ce domaine et comment les femmes s'auto-excluent d'un sujet porté historiquement par des hommes.05:35 — Les deux forces qui bloquent la paix Idéologues messianiques (US, Israël, monde arabe) d'un côté. Business diplomacy opportuniste de l'autre. Aucun ne pense aux populations.09:57 — Paix par la prospérité vs paix par la force Les deux doctrines Trump expliquées.

Le Hamas a frappé pour empêcher un accord de paix imminent entre Israël et l'Arabie Saoudite.1:09:09 — Ce qu'il faudrait vraiment pour une paix Moins d'idéologues, moins de business.

Ghost opens episode 101 with a deep rabbit hole: the theory that US radar bases in Qatar and UAE functioned as weather modification systems deliberately draining Iraq, Syria, and Iran of rainfall for years. Ghost walks through the historic drought data in the Tigris Euphrates River Basin, the 2024 Dubai floods and cloud seeding admissions, and whether destroying the Qatar radar station triggered a sudden rainfall recovery across the region. From there, Ghost connects the dots to the $2 trillion "Syria File," revealed by Qatar's former defense minister, detailing how the US, Israel, Gulf States, Turkey, and NATO funded the Syrian civil war. The back half covers the Hajjaz Railway revival, MBS as the real architect of the Lebanon ceasefire Trump announced, Smotrich calling for redrawn Israeli borders, Israel Katz waiting for a US green light to resume the Iran war, and Trump telling reporters a nuclear strike would be a stupid idea.
The swamp wasn't hiding in darkness. It was hiding in volume. JB White breaks down Elon Musk's explanation of the NGO money laundering pipeline and why AI is the first tool in history capable of mapping the entire corrupt architecture at once. He then walks through Brian Cates' breakdown of Pam Bondi's real job at DOJ and what comes next: thousands of civil lawsuits, a massive victim fund, and the systematic bankruptcy of the people who lorded over ordinary Americans for decades. JB also lays out his read on the Middle East triangle between Trump, Netanyahu, and MBS, and teases a coming show on what he sees as the transition from petrodollar to Petro Bitcoin. Fully recovered, fully fired up, and not pulling a single punch.

March 26, 2026In bald language, Singapore's Prime Minister makes clear how Trump has instigated a profound change in the world order, In place of the foundation supported by the US, Trump aligns himself with international oligarchs, Trump initially launched strikes on Iran at the urging of Saudi Arabia's MBS and Israel's Netanyahu, US actions in Iran war and otherwise are benefitting Russia's Vladimir Putin just as US considers diverting arms and funding for Ukraine, Trump acknowledges violating the Constitution, Republicans may be having misgivings, Spending on Iran War, which continues without Congressional support, alienates allies and makes Americans less safe.
