## Resource

This week on SUNDAY WIRE , guest host Bryan 'Hesher' McClain steps in, covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we examine the growing question now entering mainstream discourse: is Lebanon becoming "the new Gaza," as a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah appears to unravel amid ongoing strikes, mass displacement, and mounting destruction across southern Lebanon. We also cover Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Gaza aid flotilla in international waters, raising serious legal and geopolitical questions. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by Patrick Henningsen alongside Adam 'Ruckus' Clark , for deeper comment and analysis on this week's major developments. All this and more on this week's show.
