In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the nearing end of the government shutdown, Trump's legal win allowing National Guard deployments to Portland, a Supreme Court case testing whether drug users can own guns, and international developments involving Chinese espionage, satellite security, auto industry sabotage, and Bolivia's rejection of socialism.   Shutdown Nears Its End: White House advisor Kevin Hassett says the government shutdown will likely end this week as Democrats feel pressure from bad polling and looming state budget crises. Trump's Triple B funding bill cut Medicaid loopholes that helped finance health care for illegal immigrants, forcing blue states to raise taxes unless a deal is reached.   Court Clears Trump to Deploy the Guard: The Ninth Circuit ruled that Trump can federalize Oregon's National Guard to protect Portland's federal buildings from Antifa violence. Democrats argued the protests were “mostly peaceful,” with one judge claiming the frog-costumed rioters were “having fun.” Bryan calls the decision a reality check against political theater.   Immigration and America's Workforce: NPR reports activists in Chicago are blocking ICE operations while a new study projects Trump's deportation policies could reduce the U.S. population by 15 million over the next decade. Bryan argues higher wages and affordable housing will follow, saying, “We don't need to import our workforce — we can build our own.”   Supreme Court Weighs Gun Rights for Drug Users: The Court will decide whether people who use marijuana or other drugs can legally own firearms. The case follows a lower court ruling that found “no historical justification” for disarming sober citizens. Bryan invites listeners to weigh in on whether gun ownership and substance use should mix.   China's Atomic Clock Breach: Beijing accused the NSA of hacking its national atomic clock, which could disrupt GPS, banking, and military systems. The alleged cyber breach used the cell phones of Chinese scientists to access secure servers. Bryan calls it “proof that nothing online is truly offline.”   Satellites Leaking Secrets: U.S. researchers found that half of global satellite transmissions can be intercepted with basic equipment, exposing phone calls, texts, and even military data. Bryan warns listeners to “keep sensitive conversations offline.”   Dutch Seize Chinese-Owned Chipmaker: The Netherlands took control of Nexperia, a critical auto-chip supplier, after U.S. intelligence warned China planned to move production back home. The move could disrupt global car manufacturing and tighten supply chains further.   Bolivia Rejects Socialism: Voters ousted socialist leaders and elected conservative Rodrigo Paz, who vowed to restore ties with the U.S. and rebuild Bolivia's lithium-rich economy. Bryan says, “Bolivia's victory over socialism should be a warning to voters in New York City.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: government shutdown Kevin Hassett, Trump Triple B Medicaid reform, Ninth Circuit National Guard Portland, Antifa Oregon violence, NPR ICE protests Chicago, deportation workforce study, Supreme Court drug users gun rights, NSA China atomic clock hack, satellites data leak UC San Diego, Netherlands Nexperia chip takeover, Bolivia Rodrigo Paz conservative election

In this week's episode, we look at the US government shutdown, which is making headlines again. It grabs attention, but let's cut through the noise. Shutdowns are theatre. They don't change the fundamentals overnight, but they do show us how fragile the system has become.The US runs on debt. Each year the ceiling gets lifted. Each year the debate gets nastier. Shutdowns are the symptom of a bigger problem: an economy built on borrowed money with no political consensus on how to fix it. That matters more than the shutdown itself.Markets usually shrug these events off. Equities bounce back once a deal is done. But repeated dysfunction eats away at confidence. The real story is in bond yields. Investors see a government unable to manage its balance sheet, so they demand higher returns to lend money. That's why yields have been rising, and why the US dollar stays strong in the short run but vulnerable in the long run.For Australia, this isn't abstract. Higher US yields set the tone for our own rates. The RBA can't ignore what happens in Washington. Mortgage costs rise. Investment flows adjust. Capital gets repriced.The lesson for investors: don't get distracted by the noise of shutdown headlines. Focus on the signal. Rising debt costs. Shifting capital flows. A global economy that is being repriced as the cost of money climbs. These are the changes that will shape property, credit, and wealth creation over the next decade.

Eric Ham, political analyst with CTV News, based in Washington DC joined us to tell us more on the shutdown, which is the first since 2019 and could bring some US government services to a halt.

Interview with George Bennett, CEO of Rainbow Rare EarthsRecording date: 26th September 2025Rainbow Rare Earths (LSE:RBW) is pioneering a revolutionary approach to rare earth element extraction that addresses both economic efficiency and Western supply chain independence. Led by CEO George Bennett, a seasoned executive with 16 years of investment banking experience and a proven track record of scaling mining operations, the company extracts valuable rare earth materials from phosphogypsum waste rather than traditional hard rock mining.The company's proprietary technology eliminates conventional mining costs including drilling, blasting, and crushing operations, resulting in projected EBITDA margins exceeding 75% and internal rates of return between 45-50%. "We've got no mining costs, we are extracting the RE out of phosphogypsum which is a waste residue," Bennett explains, highlighting the fundamental cost advantage over traditional rare earth projects.Rainbow operates two strategic assets: the flagship Phalaborwa project in South Africa, where the company holds 85% ownership with 35 million tons of high-grade material, and the Uberaba project in Brazil through a 50/50 joint venture with Mosaic, a $15 billion fertilizer company. Both projects leverage existing brownfield infrastructure and provide environmental benefits through waste remediation.The company has secured significant validation through a $50 million equity commitment from the US Development Finance Corporation, positioning the US government as a future project shareholder. This strategic backing, combined with recent floor pricing of $110/kg for neodymium and praseodymium established by MP Materials' Department of Defense contract, provides crucial market stability for Rainbow's revenue streams.With total capital requirements of $300 million and production targeted for 2027-2028, Rainbow is positioned to capitalize on surging demand from electric vehicles, defense applications, and the emerging robotics sector. The company addresses critical Western supply chain vulnerabilities while China controls 95% of global rare earth processing capacity, making Rainbow a compelling investment in the transition toward strategic mineral independence.View Rainbow Rare Earths' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rainbow-rare-earthsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

US Sports giant ESPN is signalling its TV days are numbered The media company has announced it's going direct to fans with exactly the same thing you can get through a Pay TV provider. In the USA, the leagues make deals with networks, who then make deals with Pay TV operators, who sell bundles of networks to consumers. ESPN has just announced it's cutting out its old friend the Pay TV operator – ouch. Why? About 35 million households have stopped paying for the sports cable channel ESPN over the past 15 years, and they think they can win them back if they don't need to buy all the other cable stuff just to get the thing they want. In NZ terms —not that this deal is international yet— it would mean instead of only being able to get ESPN through Sky, you would be able to get exactly the same channels directly from ESPN. A digital environment means that you're not constrained by the number of channels – you could have 50 events taking place at the same time, instead of being forced to make decisions about what to show on your 5 channels. It comes with risks too, sports streaming can be laggy and grainy, sometimes struggling with the fast motion of a game. Linear broadcast has had that solved for decades. The US Government wants a piece of Intel? According to Bloomberg, the US Government is reportedly in discussions to take stake in Intel to help the company expand its US manufacturing efforts, including its much-delayed Ohio chip factory. It's the latest instalment in the tech tariff and China-AI arms race story, where chip giants Nvidia and AMD will pay the US Government 15% of Chinese revenue to secure export licenses to China. The US had previously banned the sale of powerful chips used in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) to China under export controls usually related to national security concerns, and had threatened large blanket tariffs on the import of semiconductor chips.

Interview with Pat Ryan, Chairman & CEO of UCore Rare Metals Inc.Recording date: 2nd August 2025Ucore Rare Metals (TSXV:UCU) is positioning itself at the forefront of Western efforts to challenge China's overwhelming dominance in rare earth processing, a sector where the Asian giant controls 95% of global refining capacity. Led by automotive industry veteran Pat Ryan, the Canadian company has developed proprietary technology to process the critical materials that form the backbone of modern technology, from electric vehicle motors to defense systems.The strategic imperative driving Ucore's mission has never been more urgent. China's recent restrictions on rare earth exports and reports of authorities confiscating passports of processing experts underscore the weaponization of supply chain control. "We're bringing the mid-market of the rare earth stream, the supply chain, and making sure that those building blocks of technology connect the mine upstream and the magnet makers downstream," Ryan explains.Ucore's technological breakthrough centers on their RapidSX system, which revolutionizes traditional rare earth processing. Unlike massive Chinese solvent extraction plants that span football fields, RapidSX uses column-based technology requiring only one-third the space and operating as a closed system. This innovation translates to dramatic capital efficiency – their Louisiana facility will cost $65 million compared to $300 million for conventional plants.The company has secured substantial validation through $18.4 million in U.S. Department of Defense grants, complemented by $15.5 million CAD raised from institutional investors in a funding round that closed within 24 hours. This backing supports their Louisiana commercial facility targeting mid-2026 production, focusing on heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium that China has restricted and Western defense applications desperately need.With permanent magnet demand projected to grow 200% by decade's end, driven increasingly by robotics and artificial intelligence applications, Ucore's timing appears optimal. Their modular, scalable approach allows incremental capacity additions while serving diverse customer requirements across the Western supply chain that governments are now prioritizing for national security reasons.View Ucore Rare Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ucore-rare-metals-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this after show from 2015 I was fresh dealing with some people that I believed had a shared psychosis. I now understand that people like this are weaponized by others that are not crazy but professionals motivated to suppress and manipulate the truth and reporting. Looking back now I can see the pattern of attacks on me and seem to be motivated by my friendship and promotion of David McGowan. From this time way back in 2015 until today there is an effort to leech off of Dave's legacy and good work. Some of it can be traced directly back to people employed by US Govt intelligence.

The US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been challenged by lawmakers in Washington DC after President Donald Trump doubled the number of troops in Los Angeles, having deployed 700 Marines and 4000 National Guard members as protests against immigration raids stretch into a fourth day. Washington correspondent Nick Harper spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Inevitably, open eyes always seem to turn upward. Our faith and our refusal to bow are weapons forged in darkness. The American air industry is now in chaos. Combine airlines, aviation, national security, and the heavy infiltration of Chinese risk. Maintenance scares and hub battles. Where are the reasonable fares? The US Govt buys tickets in bulk? Huh? Looks like money laundering. Eliminate brokers for a start. Operating on a debt based closed structure. Amy Klobuchar is up to her neck in all of this. Firmware is very hard to inspect. Counterfeit avionics is a real threat. When pilots can't override the AI. Let's build a national aircraft security program. All domestic flights need more scrutiny. Chip technology has risks too. China (Taiwan) produces 90% of high level chips. Yes to mandatory source audits. Flight ready seals and instant response protocols. Software components are hackable. Compromised chips are everywhere. All airlines are leased. Even the F35 has Chinese components. We need a Federal National Airline Program. Why not lease at cost and back it with the Defense Dept? Lower costs, safer skies. Restore jobs plus national security. We should no longer out source the wings we fly on. Not when our families are on board.

Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner, Equity Management Associates, joins me to discuss the national debt crisis, inflation, possible price suppression of hard assets and the contrasting roles of gold and Bitcoin as sound money.  Summary In this conversation, Stephan Livera and Lawrence Lepard delve into pressing economic issues, including the national debt crisis, inflation, and the contrasting roles of gold and Bitcoin as sound money. They discuss the implications of the upcoming US election on economic policies and the market dynamics of gold and Bitcoin. The conversation also touches on the potential for economic suppression and the future predictions for both gold and Bitcoin in light of current financial trends. Takeaways The national debt is accelerating and poses a significant risk. Inflation is likely to rise again due to government policies. Gold is currently viewed as a safe haven, but Bitcoin is seen as the future of sound money. The upcoming US election could have major implications for Bitcoin and economic policies. Gold ETFs have been shrinking while Bitcoin ETFs are growing, indicating a generational shift in investment. The suppression of gold prices has been a long-standing issue, but Bitcoin may not face the same challenges yet. Future predictions suggest Bitcoin could reach $300,000 and gold could hit $5,000 in the next economic crisis. The need for sound money is becoming increasingly urgent as the dollar loses value. A monetary reset may be necessary to address the current economic challenges. Investors should consider diversifying into sound money assets like Bitcoin and gold.

After a long and choppy bull-crab market, Dr. Ross notes that the bull market is here! Dr. Jeff Ross, founder, Vailshire Capital Management, joins me to discuss the ongoing sentiment in the markets, global liquidity, pitfalls and opportunities of this bull cycle, holistic living and more! Summary In this conversation, Dr. Jeff Ross discusses his transition from a bearish to a bullish outlook on Bitcoin and the broader market, emphasizing the importance of liquidity and central bank policies. He explains how liquidity flows impact asset prices, particularly Bitcoin, and outlines his predictions for economic growth and market behavior in the coming years. The discussion also touches on wealth inequality, the role of Bitcoin in addressing economic disparities, and strategies for investors, including the controversial 8% withdrawal rate for Bitcoin holders. Takeaways Liquidity is the key driver of asset prices. The transition from bear to bull markets is influenced by liquidity flows. Central banks play a significant role in market dynamics. Bitcoin is seen as a solution to wealth inequality. The US dollar remains the strongest currency despite global challenges. High liquidity environments lead to increased risk-taking behavior. Investors should consider Bitcoin as a significant part of their portfolio. Timing the market can be beneficial for fund managers but not for regular investors. The 8% withdrawal rate is reasonable for Bitcoin holders. Future economic growth may surprise - to the upside.

Andy Edstrom, Head of Managed Wealth at Onramp Bitcoin rejoins me to discuss the govt. debt levels, retirement planning on Bitcoin, price modeling, risks of leverage yield on Bitcoin and more! Summary In this episode, Andy Edstrom returns to discuss the evolution of Bitcoin since their last conversation, touching on price modeling, the risks of leverage, and the future of Bitcoin loans. They explore the implications of government debt, the role of gold, and the potential for yield in a Bitcoin standard. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding market dynamics and preparing for various economic scenarios. Takeaways Bitcoin's evolution has led to increased participation and conversation on the world stage. Price modeling in Bitcoin is fraught with challenges and often fails to predict future movements. Leverage in Bitcoin can lead to significant losses, as seen in past market downturns. The future of Bitcoin loans is uncertain, with a need for better credit analysis and terms. Retirement planning in a Bitcoin world requires careful consideration of inflation and spending habits. Government debt is at an all-time high, raising concerns about future economic stability. Gold still plays a role in the financial landscape, but Bitcoin is seen as the future. Yield may still exist under a Bitcoin standard, but it will differ from current fiat systems. The importance of maintaining on-ramps and off-ramps for Bitcoin in the future cannot be overstated. Expect wild times ahead as economic conditions continue to evolve.
