In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's bombshell address declassifying intel on Chinese election interference, vulnerable voting machines, and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens registered to vote. Bryan lays out the four major allegations from Trump's speech, including a Chinese hack of 220 million voter files, evidence Venezuela's Maduro regime rigged its own elections through voting machine software, and the fight over the SAVE America Act. He also covers the escalating war with Iran, with new US strikes isolating an IRGC stronghold near the Strait of Hormuz and growing fears that the Houthis will target Red Sea shipping. Plus, Bryan covers JD Vance's startling comments confirming Jeffrey Epstein's ties to US and Israeli intelligence and his pointed criticism of Israeli influence on the Iran peace talks, an insider betting scandal involving one of Trump's own staffers, and new research on creatine's surprising health benefits.
