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 Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down Iran's first direct ballistic missile attack on Israel since the April ceasefire, Israel's decision to fire back despite Trump's direct orders not to, and what the 100-day mark of this war actually tells us about where it is headed. With global oil stocks now roughly two weeks from critical levels and Iran demanding $24 billion in frozen assets before serious negotiations can begin, Bryan lays out why a fast resolution is increasingly unlikely and what it would actually take to change that calculus. He also digs into a Democratic Socialist professor openly cheering for Iran to bring down the American empire, the Anthropic AI model called Mythos that is alarming even its own creators, and a surprising area of agreement between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump on government ownership of AI companies. Plus, Bryan profiles the Islamist Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan who just landed the UAW endorsement and could be headed to a razor-thin general election, covers Antifa attacks on the ICE facility in Newark, a fired Hawaii immigration judge who immediately announced plans to work for the Democratic Party, a Biden-appointed Boston judge blocking Trump's DEI and Title IX enforcement, and closes with the geopolitical chess match over Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands that Bryan says he would personally volunteer to govern.
