## Resource

This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen , covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we review the latest diplomatic theater in Pakistan, where shady Israeli operatives (Kushner & Witkoff) has successful infiltrated the US negotiations team, and successfully derailed peace talks—which means the war is likely to resume any moment. Also, US troops are not enlisting, and many are looking to quit after Trump's massacre of Iranian children. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by teammates Bryan "Hesher" McClain and Adam "Ruckus" Clark , for deeper comment and analysis on this week's earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week's show.
