Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's accusation of sedition against former intelligence and military officials, the deeper pattern of political activism inside America's security agencies, the White House's meeting with New York City's socialist mayor elect, new economic and immigration data, and a sprawling welfare scandal involving Somali migrants in Minnesota. Trump Accuses Former Intel and Military Officials of Sedition: A group of Democratic lawmakers and former intelligence and military officers released a video urging current service members to refuse "illegal orders" from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Jason Crow admitted they could not name any unlawful orders but again labeled Trump a fascist and a Nazi. Trump responded by calling their actions sedition and said they should be arrested and tried, adding that such offenses can be punishable by death. Bryan argues the video is part of a ten-year pattern of partisan activism from former security officials who wrap themselves in patriotism while advancing political goals. A Personal Warning About the Deep State: Bryan recounts cases involving Ned Price, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and the fifty one former intelligence officials who misled the public about Hunter Biden's laptop. He describes how some officials use the cachet of CIA or military service to shield partisan motives. He also reflects on his former boss, Jennifer Matthews, and objects to her being used for political gain. Trump Hosts New York City's Socialist Mayor Elect: President Trump will meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York City, who openly identifies as a Marxist. Mamdani insists the NYPD will not assist federal deportation efforts, even for violent offenders held at Rikers Island. He says the meeting will focus on public safety and affordability. Bryan questions the wisdom of giving such a figure a platform inside the White House. Economic Signals Improve for Housing and Jobs: Mortgage rates have fallen to about 6.25 percent. Rent prices are dropping in many cities and analysts tie the trend to Trump's deportation operations, which have reduced demand for rental units. Job growth in September exceeded expectations, with 119,000 new positions. Native born workers filled most new roles while foreign-born workers lost ground. Wages are growing faster than inflation. Manufacturing orders appear strong, but exact data are delayed due to the recent shutdown. Tariff Adjustments and Manufacturing Investments: The White House lifted remaining tariffs on Brazilian goods such as beef and coffee to ease grocery prices. GE Appliances will shift more production to Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee due to U.S. tariffs and competitive pressure from Whirlpool. China unexpectedly resumed large soybean purchases and placed a new wheat order, giving U.S. farmers encouraging news. Border Crossings Fall and Medical Strain Eases: Hospitals near San Diego report a dramatic drop in injuries among migrants who fall from the border wall. Emergency rooms say they can finally prioritize American patients because crossings have fallen to lows not seen since the 1970s. Judges Block National Guard Deployments: A federal judge in Washington blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the capital despite clear data showing that Guard operations sharply reduced crime. Similar rulings in Memphis and other cities reflect what Bryan describes as political obstruction at the expense of public safety. Somali Welfare Fraud Funds Terrorism Abroad: City Journal reports that Somali migrants in Minneapolis defrauded Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program of hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was routed to clan networks and to al-Shabaab in Somalia, making Minnesota taxpayers one of the largest funders of the terror group. More than fifty individuals have been charged. Bryan warns that state leaders have tried to minimize or dismiss the scandal for fear of appearing xenophobic. FBI Analyst Fired After Displaying Pride Flag: An FBI trainee claims he was terminated for displaying a Pride flag at work. The Bureau denies this. Bryan discusses his own experience serving alongside gay and lesbian officers and argues that all personal politics, identities, and symbols should be left outside the workplace so that the mission remains the focus. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump sedition accusation Slotkin Crow, former intel officials illegal orders video, Deep State political activism, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor elect, mortgage rates falling deportation effect, GE Appliances reshoring tariffs, China soybean wheat purchases, San Diego border crossings ER cases, National Guard deployment ruling DC, Minneapolis Somali welfare fraud al-Shabaab, FBI pride flag firing claim

In this episode, I talk with Jeremiah Shamess about the major shift happening in Toronto's land and development market. Jeremiah explains how land values peaked in 2022 and are now down as much as 60 percent because the pre-construction condo market has stalled and very few developers are buying. Most of the buyers still active are focused on purpose-built rental, and he says about two-thirds of the land for sale right now is power of sale, reflecting real distress among owners who bought at the peak. We also discuss how investor demand reshaped the condo market. Ten years ago, about half of pre-con buyers were end users, but as investors took over, developers shifted to producing micro units instead of livable homes for families. Jeremiah believes we are entering a new era, where rental housing will dominate new construction rather than owner-occupied condos.

Ontario's new Bill 60 - the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act is one of the most controversial housing reforms in years. Supporters say it will speed up the LTB, crack down on chronic non-payment, and help build more rental housing. Critics argue it will weaken renter protections, make evictions easier, and worsen homelessness. So, the big question: Is Bill 60 right for the people of Ontario? Let's break it down, and let the debate begin. Hosts: Jatinder Gidda & Raghav Choudhary

As California's current high-speed rail fiasco attests, big and ambitious public projects are hard. California's biggest project of all is housing development. Will it suffer the same fate? In this final episode, Brian explores the impediments to success, including the increasingly caustic "backyard brawl" between NIMBYS and YIMBYS, and asks his guests to pitch their versions of a successful housing future.

In this episode, Brian examines three housing development projects in Santa Monica – all of which have courted controversy. One is a large development that could replace a beloved grocery store, another is a supportive housing project a block from the city's shopping promenade, and the third is a project that was killed by community activism, with unintended consequences.

Building affordable housing is a big priority in Santa Monica. This episode investigates how affordable housing is built, and what "affordability" even means as the nationwide cost of living rises. Many fear that the push to build more affordable housing is leading to gentrification instead.

Santa Monica, like much of Los Angeles County, is a city dominated by neighborhoods of low-density, single-family homes. But low density has played a role in California's housing crisis. The state is responding with "Density Bonuses" for developers, which encourage more building, but at what cost? This episode crunches the numbers, explains the density bonus "matrix," and spotlights a planned density bonus building.

Delays in the approval of Santa Monica's housing element lead to a historic punishment for the city: activation of a loophole called "The Builder's Remedy." Developers are now able to flood Santa Monica with construction – and the city is powerless to stop it.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/builders-remedy/https://smdp.com/business/godzilla-next-door-how-california-developers-gained-new-leverage-to-build-more-homes/https://smdp.com/news/development/https://smdp.com/business/development/planning-commission-approves-18-story-housing-project-despite-environmental-appeal/
In the first episode of A Developing Story, host Brian Peter Falk introduces the idyllic beach city of Santa Monica, California and explores how a controversial state wide development mandate called "The Housing Element" is forcing the city to allow the construction of nearly 9,000 new apartments.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/hcd-rejects-citys-housing-element-demands-revisions/https://smdp.com/news/after-housing-element-debacle-implementation-work-begins/https://smdp.com/news/housing-element-becomes-hot-topic-at-local-leader-gathering/

We know communities across the island region are struggling with housing. That challenge can be especially acute on smaller islands, with even more limited space: what are you supposed to do if you have a job, but nowhere to live? Or if you can't hire people, because they can't find housing? On Salt Spring Island, the Country Grocer has solved that problem by creating housing for its staff. CBC reporter Emily Fagan went to the island to learn more, and tells us about it on this week's episode.
TOPIC: Re-entry, Housing, and Rebuilding Lives After Incarceration Bryan Hudson, DMin, interviewed Dr. Michelle Daniel Jones, a returning citizen, scholar, and Executive Director of Constructing Our Future, a reentry and housing program for formerly incarcerated women in Indiana. Dr. Jones shares how Constructing Our Future was created by incarcerated women to provide safe, stable housing, personalized support, and pathways to education, employment, and family reunification. She explains the systemic barriers women face after incarceration—especially housing insecurity—and why person-first language like “returning citizen” is essential to restoring dignity. The episode also features her town hall presentation, “Housing: A Place to Begin Again,” and includes a call for churches, individuals, and community partners to support this work through advocacy, collaboration, and helping develop the Newton House, a larger permanent residence for women reentering society.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome Bobby Holland, Vice President/Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, and Heather Shilt, Director, Global Logistics at Fortive, to unpack Q3 2025 findings from the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index, one of the industry's most referenced trucking indicators, informed by tens of billions in transactions. The panel explores why volumes are down even as costs rise, how tariffs and manufacturing softness are reshaping regional performance, and where rate pressure and capacity tightness are showing up first.Together, they dig into nine key takeaways from the national and regional views (West, Southwest, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast): most significant sequential gains in the West in four years, persistent softness in the Southwest, and mixed signals elsewhere as consumer demand, housing starts, and labor dynamics tug the market in different directions. From shipper playbooks (carrier-mix depth, lane-level cost vigilance, and alternate modes) to practical watch-outs for Q4 and early 2026, this data-driven conversation equips operators to trend, plan, and pressure-test their assumptions in a volatile environment.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(06:26) Freight market overview(07:09) National freight insights(16:17) Regional analysis: West(20:22) Regional analysis: Southwest(22:05) Southwest region analysis(22:25) Impact of construction activity on freight(23:52) Midwest region insights(26:16) Northeast region overview(29:13) Southeast region trends(33:06) Global supply chain leadership(35:27) Freight market predictions(41:10) Housing starts and freight impactAdditional Links & Resources:Download the complete Q3 2025 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comLearn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com Learn more about Fortive: https://www.fortive.com Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/ Connect with Heather Shilt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-shilt-4a867430/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

In today's episode, Ben and Ernie interview Lauren, a single mid-30's physical therapist living in Arizona. Lauren is already a legend in the Budget Nerds community for YNAB'ing for years completely manually, without ever connecting a bank account. A true budget nerd, she logs in daily to enter transactions and reconcile. She's never even done a file import to enter transactions! Lauren shares her YNAB story which began with graduating from school and working her first job. Her newfound income felt like a financial safety blanket, and she began spending, unbeknowst to her, well beyond her means. She found herself deep into debt from both credit cards and student loans, and had to ask her mother for help making ends meet. Eventually Lauren discovered YNAB, learned how to spend more thoughtfully with cash on hand rather than debt, and slowly began to take control of her situation. In just a few years she paid off well over $100k of debt! Lauren also shares her challenges planning as a single person, including the hidden costs of being single. Housing, taxes, products and services... many aspects of personal finance today are geared toward couples and families, and may not offer good options for single adults. Single people also face unique emotional challenges. While they may only be accountable to themselves financially, they also solely bear the burden of saving for potential job loss and other unforeseen events that could impact their cash flow. Many couples and families have the peace of mind of two incomes, as well as the emotional stablity of two people working toward a common goal of financial stability. Finally, Lauren breaks down her YNAB categories as well as her daily habits, including using a checkbook and reconciling her balances by hand in the register!

Santa Monica just approved $600,000 pickle ball courts as a "temporary" use for a lot that's been sitting empty for years - while planning $123 million in "affordable" housing that costs over $1 million per unit. You can't make this stuff up. We break down how California's progressive policies have turned housing for homeless people into luxury-priced units that would cost taxpayers $200 billion statewide, all while adding grocery stores below homeless housing projects because what could possibly go wrong? From layers of bureaucracy to union wage requirements to environmental virtue signaling that imports oil from Brazil, we expose why affordable housing doesn't exist and never will at these astronomical costs. Is anyone surprised that a pickle ball court got built faster than actual housing? When will politicians admit that their "solutions" are making everything worse while lining the pockets of connected developers and bureaucrats? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching your tax dollars fund million-dollar homeless shelters that solve nothing.

Welcome to NAA's Apartmentcast, the official podcast of the National Apartment Association. On this episode, we sit down with NAA's Director of Federal Legislative Affairs Maria Spencer, who, now that the government has reopened, is here to walk us through the Congressional FY26 appropriations process and the prospective impacts on the rental housing industry, especially as it relates to balancing the priorities of creating new supply while preserving the present affordable housing stock. For those of you out there who are interested in learning more about housing policy, including insight into Congressional reconciliation and appropriation, NAA has a wealth of resources, including a policy issues library, the Apartment Advocate and Apartment Advocate Pro newsletters, and much more, all on NAA's website.
In today's episode of The Jon Sanchez Show, we review the latest October home-sales report and examine the notable shifts emerging in the housing market. The discussion outlines whether prices are beginning to stabilize, how inventory levels may be changing, and what these developments could signal for both buyers and sellers as the year comes to a close. We also explore how these trends intersect with broader financial considerations often addressed in wealth management Reno, including planning strategies that relate to real estate decisions.
California's recent wave of pro-housing legislation has opened the door for more development on single-family lots and urban infill sites, but how much progress have we really made? Shane Phillips (UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies) joins Richard K. Green (USC Lusk Center for Real Estate) to trace California's evolving policy landscape, from accessory dwelling units to long-overdue CEQA reform. The conversation moves from the success of recent ADU regulations to the barriers slowing smaller-scale infill and condo development. Cost structures, ownership models, and building standards all shape housing supply. Phillips and Green discuss how policy could better balance affordability, density, and quality of life across Southern California. Highlights include: - Why recent ADU laws succeeded where earlier reforms fell short. - Potential condo liability reforms to encourage smaller-scale housing ownership. - How construction costs constrain "missing middle" infill. - The trade-offs of eliminating single-room occupancy housing in US cities. - How ownership models shape neighborhood attitudes and investment.

We spoke with Senator Jason Perillo representing Connecticut's 21st District. Image Credit: Senator Jason Perillo / CT Senate Republicans
