Trump v. Slaughter, the ballot-counting ruling, Chatrie v. United States, and Paris's heat wave blame game headline today's A.M. Update. The Supreme Court rules 5-4 that Trump can fire FTC commissioners at will, overturning 90 years of precedent protecting independent agencies, and Aaron says law professor Barb McQuade's outraged summary is basically his favorite part of the ruling. In the same session, the Court rules 5-4 that states can count mail-in ballots after election day if procedures are in place, Trump immediately calls it a tremendous loss and redoubles his push for the SAVE America Act, and Aaron says Senate Republicans need to feel more pressure than they currently do. The geofence warrant case Chatrie v. United States results in a 6-3 ruling that location data from Google counts as a Fourth Amendment search, Colorado's Supreme Court unanimously blocks a Democrat redistricting map that would have flipped three House seats, and inmates briefly seize control of a North Carolina jail before law enforcement retakes it. A JetBlue flight reports a drone strike at 3,000 feet over JFK, Aaron does the math on whether any consumer drone can actually reach that altitude, and Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar blames American air conditioners for Europe's deadly heat wave — Aaron calls all of Europe losers for letting their politicians get away with it and tells them to demand better. Aaron closes with the Iraq anti-corruption arrests, the US-Israel-Lebanon trilateral framework, and a theory on whether Iranian proxies are quietly being dismantled, before making a full endorsement of an unnamed man in black who shot BB guns at nude cyclists in Los Angeles.    

The Anchormen take aim at Senate Republicans for letting the Save America Act die on the vine. Is GOP leadership stalling to protect the political establishment and end MAGA? As Democratic Socialists gain ground, will Republicans just sit by and watch America vote itself into a communist future it can't escape?

In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down why gas prices are still stuck above where they should be despite oil falling to pre-war levels, and covers a volcanic confrontation between President Trump and Republican Senators on Capitol Hill over the SAVE America Act and the filibuster.

Todd examines the heated confrontation involving Bill Cassidy, the debate over the Senate filibuster, and why requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID has become such a contentious issue.

Last week, he told Senate Republicans to cancel a major confirmation hearing, complicating their effort to renew a key antiterrorism law and adding to a growing list of frustrations for GOP lawmakers.

Will they be able to find common ground while they still have the power to execute on Trump's agenda?

This was not a normal bad week. This was the week a bunch of people who spent years pretending the emperor had clothes all looked up at the same time and went, oh no.We open where the country opened: a rotting reflecting pool. A no-bid, $14.5 million renovation that bloomed bright green algae and peeled its custom "American Flag Blue" paint into the water, fixed with hydrogen peroxide that made it worse, then sold to the public as sabotage. Box cutters. A 350-foot slit that grew sixty feet mid-sentence. Five arrests over a pond.From there it only gets worse for him. Three federal courts ruled against this administration in a single Monday, on voter data, food assistance, and the retaliatory subpoenas aimed at Tim Walz, where a Bush-appointed judge used the word "risible." JD Vance flew to Switzerland to sell an Iran deal and got fact-checked and snubbed by Iran in real time. An Israeli cabinet minister told a country of six million to burn, and a platform called it a public service. Tucker Carlson quit the Republican Party. The Senate openly turned on him. Ken Paxton discovered he loves IVF the same week his own party voted to ban it. And Tulsi Gabbard cleaned out her desk by lobbing one more pre-pardoned Fauci grenade on the way out.Every story this week is the same story. Botch something, refuse to own it, invent an enemy, point the state at whoever's standing closest. We connect the dots, name the systems, and separate what's confirmed from what's spin.I'm Robin.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine why Donald Trump's critics believe his biggest defeat isn't the war in Iran but the strange obsession now consuming the White House: remaking Washington into a permanent monument to himself. Drawing on fresh reporting from inside the administration, Wolff reveals why Trump is fixated on ballrooms, arches, the Kennedy Center and the National Mall even as foreign policy, the economy and the midterms hang in the balance. They also break down Trump's escalating feud with Senate Republicans, the political gamble behind a UFC spectacle on the White House lawn, and why his drive for personal legacy could be reshaping his presidency more than any policy victory ever could.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the fallout from the Iran Peace Memo as the Strait of Hormuz officially comes under Iranian control, with global shipping now required to register with Tehran's new Persian Gulf Strait Authority. Iran's economy is roaring back with oil sales, frozen funds, and a soaring stock market, even as Senate Republicans like Roger Wicker and Ted Cruz blast the deal as a giveaway to a regime that cannot be trusted.

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 Special Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the Iran Peace Memo in full, the document that will shape global oil prices, your mortgage and credit card rates, Middle Eastern security, and American electoral politics for years to come. Bryan walks through every major section of the Memo, from Iran's effective new control over the Strait of Hormuz and a $300 billion reparations framework, to the shocking reversals on missiles and nuclear enrichment that contradict what Trump, Rubio, and Vance themselves argued just months ago. He also explains why the White House is now calling this a "gentlemen's agreement," why CIA Director Ratcliffe and Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth opposed it, and why the Fed is now signaling interest rate hikes instead of cuts because of oil-driven inflation tied directly to this conflict. Plus, Senate Republicans are breaking with Trump over the deal and blocking the SAVE Act out of spite, the UAE is spending billions to reroute oil pipelines away from Iranian-controlled waters, and Bryan closes with his unvarnished assessment of what this Memo means for American power on the world stage.

On Thursday's Washington Times Front Page: President Trump forced Senate Republicans into postponing Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing in a convoluted effort to push his election integrity bill, the Justice Department is suing the city of Evanston, Illinois, to stop a reparations program for Black residents who say they were hurt by housing discrimination, and more.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had one job. Hold water and look reflective. Somehow it ended up at the center of a political controversy involving algae, treatment systems, blame shifting, and enough finger-pointing to qualify as an Olympic event.Meanwhile, a brand new international bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Canada is ready to open.Billions of dollars have already been spent, and suddenly people are asking questions about money, influence, political donations, and whether competition's still a wonderful thing when somebody important stands to lose from it.Then there's Senate Republicans, who spent weeks negotiating a compromise designed to help Donald Trump, only to discover that he wasn't entirely on board with the compromise created to help him.At some point Washington starts sounding less like a government and more like a group project where nobody had read the assignment.What's amazing is how often simple things become complicated. A pool becomes a political fight. A bridge becomes a power struggle. A nomination hearing becomes a test of whether Trump's own allies are still willing to change direction every time he changes his mind.The deeper problem isn't ideology. It isn't policy. It's the growing feeling that nobody's driving the bus anymore, and the passengers are being told to stop asking who has the steering wheel.That's today's insight into A WORLD GONE MAD.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

In this passionate segment, the host unloads on Senate Republican leadership following the dramatic failure of the SAVE Act—federal legislation aimed at requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. The host rails against Senator Mitch McConnell, claiming he used his final energy before being hospitalized to join three other Republicans—Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins—to block a version of the bill packed with controversial amendments. Despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune moving past the issue, the host remains defiant, insisting that a clean version of the bill actually holds a 50-vote threshold. The commentary takes a fierce swipe at the globalist "establishment" wing of the party, calling out establishment primary ads as fake and predicting a total realignment of purple and blue states if election integrity measures finally clear the Senate.

Senate Republicans worked through the night to pass President Trump's $72 billion immigration enforcement bill, but voted not to block the president's anti-weaponization fund.A handful of Republicans are breaking with President Trump over the war in Iran, his anti-weaponization fund, and his pick to lead national intelligence, raising the question of whether his grip on the party is starting to slip after a decade of dominance. And former national security adviser turned Trump critic John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a single count of mishandling classified information, a case that prosecutors and intelligence officials say has real legal merit unlike other cases against the president's perceived enemies.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Kelsey Snell, Rebecca Metzler, Anna Yukhananov, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Taylor Haney.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.
