In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks the Socialist wave sweeping local and state races across the country, from a self-described Socialist winning the DC mayor's primary to roughly 250 elected Socialists nationwide, and explains why New York City is already flashing a warning light. Bryan digs into the early fallout in the Big Apple, where up to a quarter of tenants in some buildings have stopped paying rent after being promised free everything, and draws a sharp parallel to a Stanford study on medical debt forgiveness that found free help can backfire. He also covers the costs piling up under the Trump Iran peace deal, including the regime ramping up internal executions, a leaked intel assessment claiming Israel will try to tank the talks, and why he thinks the bigger story is the Deep State doing the leaking. Plus, a tough-on-crime MAGA-style candidate captures Colombia's presidency while the Left cries election rigging, a deadly European heatwave with a connection to suspected Leftist arsonists near Leadville, Colorado, and two Chinese nationals convicted of spying on a US carrier in South Korea while posing as graduate students.
