In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the latest escalation with Iran, including a dramatic at-sea rescue of two downed Apache pilots using an AI-powered drone boat, and explains what a lasting peace deal would actually require. Listeners push Bryan on oil prices, the Iran endgame, and whether the U.S. should pursue regime change or a strategic withdrawal. He lays out his case for a coordinated pullback backed by covert CIA and SOCOM operations, while also addressing the riots now tearing through Belfast following a brutal attempted beheading by an asylum seeker, and what that moment reveals about the broader clash playing out across Europe. Plus, Bryan covers a landmark development in American-made solar panels, shares a correction on Ivermectin use in dogs, and closes with three pieces of genuinely good news: a simple hospital tip that cuts pneumonia risk by 60%, new UCLA research on creatine and cancer-fighting immune cells, and a stunning case study of an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient who temporarily recovered speech, memory, and mobility after a single dose of psilocybin.

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey cover a busy Universal news week, from Universal Kids Resort pricing and seasonal operations to new rotating experiences planned for Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas. They also check in on Universal Studios Hollywood's Mega Movie Summer, including Wicked meet-and-greets, Minions menu items, Fast and Furious teases, Jaws treats, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey getting some serious backlot synergy. Then Jim digs into the surprisingly fiery history of Universal Studios Hollywood, tracing nearly a century of backlot blazes, rebuilds, and close calls. NEWS • Universal Kids Resort in Frisco now has a July 1 grand opening date, with one-day tickets, two-day tickets, annual passes, and resort packages revealed. • Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas appears to be leaning into a year-round event calendar, with rotating seasonal experiences planned through 2027. • Universal Studios Hollywood's Mega Movie Summer includes The Odyssey props, Minions meet-and-greets, Fast and Furious food, Jaws-themed treats, and Wicked photo opportunities. • Jim and Eric speculate that all the Fast and Furious activity at Universal Hollywood may point to Hollywood Drift getting closer to opening. FEATURE • Jim walks through the major fires that have hit Universal Studios Hollywood, from brush fires in the 1930s and 1940s to suspected arson on the lower lot. • The episode revisits the devastating 1990 fire that destroyed portions of New York Street, Courthouse Square, classic cars, and parts of the tram tour. • Jim explains how the 2008 backlot fire destroyed the King Kong Encounter and led to King Kong 360 3D becoming part of the Studio Tour. • The conversation also touches on Universal's repeated rebuilding efforts, its water-pressure problems, and why so much of the backlot is more recreation than original movie history.

Episode 194 - Go To Blazes (1962) "So many firms nowadays prefer conflagration to liquidation." If you are looking for a cracking way to spend eighty minutes, Go to Blazes is a proper hidden gem of British cinema. It has that pitch-perfect 1962 atmosphere—stylish, colourful, and just a touch rebellious. The plot is an absolute hoot: three ambitious but slightly dim-witted crooks decide the ultimate way to beat the London traffic after a smash-and-grab is to nick a literal fire engine. It is one of those "so barmy it just might work" ideas that keeps you smiling as you watch them navigate the sheer absurdity of their own scheme. What really makes the film stand out is its visual flair. The vibrant red of the fire engine against the backdrop of vintage London looks smashing in Technicolor, and the whole thing has a snappy, rhythmic energy. Dave King is top-notch as the group's leader, Bernard; he plays the part with a smooth, confident charm that makes you genuinely root for the lads to pull it off, even when things start going pear-shaped. Alongside Norman Rossington and Daniel Massey, the trio shares a natural, effortless chemistry that feels like a group of real mates getting in way over their heads. The humour is exactly what you want from a classic British comedy—sharp and dry, but never slow or stuffy. It is a breezy, lighthearted caper that does not try to be a heavy drama, and it is all the better for it. Between the jazzy soundtrack and the escalating chaos of the fire engine ruse, the film is just pure, unadulterated entertainment. It captures a sense of mischief and fun that feels completely timeless. It is a stylish, cheeky joyride that proves you do not need a massive budget to make a comedy that really hits the mark.

The cataclysmic wave of wildfires that turned great swaths of Los Angeles into an apocalyptic hellscape was no accident, said law enforcement sources – who fear the devastation came from a calculated campaign by ruthless gangs tied to the Chilean crime syndicate in a bid to plunder the multimillion-dollar homes abandoned in the chaos.

The Eaton and Palisades fires continue to wreak destruction across Los Angeles. They are predicted to become the most expensive fire recovery in American history. As the fires have burned, a torrent of right-wing rage has emerged online. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Charlie Kirk have attacked liberal mismanagement and blamed D.E.I. programs and “woke” politics for the destruction. Meanwhile, California's governor, Gavin Newsom, has expressed concerns that the future Trump Administration may add conditions to federal financial-assistance relief for California, something that Republican Congress members have already floated. The New Yorker staff writer Jay Caspian Kang joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss what happens when disaster relief is swept up in the culture war. This week's reading: “The Insurance Crisis That Will Follow the California Fires,” by Elizabeth Kolbert “On the Ground During L.A.'s Wildfire Emergency,” by Emily Witt “An Arson Attack in Puerto Rico,” by Graciela Mochkofsky “Elon Musk's Latest Terrifying Foray Into British Politics,” By Sam Knight “The Pressure Campaign to Get Pete Hegseth Confirmed as Defense Secretary,” by Jane Mayer To discover more podcasts from The New Yorker, visit newyorker.com/podcasts.

Could a mishandled investigation mean an innocent man is sitting behind bars? Robin Dreeke dives deep into the chaotic evidence and questionable tactics surrounding the interrogation of Richard Allen in this baffling case. When investigators ask Allen how a bullet matching his gun ended up at the crime scene, his response feels more exasperated than evasive, almost like a man shoved into a corner rather than one hiding in the shadows. Dreeke highlights how the officers could have taken a more strategic approach, building trust rather than alienating Allen by showing him his “shame” instead of pushing him into a defensive posture. This episode doesn't just question the integrity of the case against Allen—it suggests that the real culprits might still be at large, hidden behind the curtain of a botched investigation and untested suspects. Are we chasing the wrong man? And what does this mean for the victims' families as they await real answers? #HiddenKillers #RichardAllenCase #CrimeInvestigation #TrueCrimeToday #Evidence #JusticeForLibbyAndAbby #UnansweredQuestions Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The foot-long meteor passed through the Earth's atmosphere near the Statue of Liberty. Don't worry, it was fine. Also, the follow-up to the 1996 movie “Twister” is a whirlwind of tornado science. A weather expert decodes its lingo—and real-life tornado trends.A Small Meteor Blazes Over New York CityTuesday morning, some New York area residents heard a loud boom and saw a daytime fireball streaking overhead. According to observers, a small meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere over New York City, passed by the Statue of Liberty, and proceeded west to New Jersey, moving at some 38,000 miles per hour. Meteor experts said that the object, estimated to be around a foot in size, posed no threat, as debris from an object that small would have burned up before reaching the ground.Science Friday's Charles Bergquist joins guest host Rachel Feltman to talk about the overhead display, and about other science news from the week, including a newly planned mission to fly by a near-Earth asteroid. They'll also talk about a new pool of data for human genetics research, efforts to predict rogue waves, and the challenges of making food taste right in orbit.The Tornado Science To Know Before Seeing ‘Twisters'“Twisters,” the long awaited follow-up to the 1996 movie “Twister” drops in theaters today, July 19. It's about a scientist (Daisy Edgar-Jones) who goes back to her home state of Oklahoma to try and stop a massive tornado outbreak from wreaking havoc on its citizens. On the way, she meets a quirky cast of storm chasers, and butts heads with a band of unorthodox “tornado wranglers” led by a YouTube personality (Glen Powell). “Twisters” delights in name-dropping tornado jargon, and its science advisory team said they hoped to make the movie as accurate as possible.The movie makes science thrilling, but it also shows the ways that tornadoes affect people's lives in the real world. For example, earlier this week, the Chicago area was hit with multiple tornadoes during a night of extreme weather, leaving thousands without power, and four tornadoes hit upstate New York, killing one person. This comes after a powerful, and some say unusual, tornado season in the Midwest. But just how tornadoes will continue to change is still unknown.Digital producer Emma Gometz talks with Dr. Bill Gallus, a meteorology professor at Iowa State University, to decode some of the science from “Twisters” and understand how real-life tornadoes are changing.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
