## Resource

This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen , covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we unpack the fake Lebanon "truce" agreement being pushed by Trump and Netanyahu, which was quickly rejected by Hezbollah. Also, we get into Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's latest gaudy property deal in Albania—as the self-absorbed Epstein Class covet another private island—a public-private partnership land grab that's now triggered a massive backlash in Albania. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by teammates Bryan "Hesher" McClain, Adam "Ruckus" Clark , and Basil Valentine for deeper comment and analysis on this week's earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more… Watch this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3zlVX0IkmM This month's featured music artists: The Real Anthem Band , Joseph Arthur , Peyoti for President , Peter Conway & Red Rumble , and Phil Zimmerman SUPPORT OUR MEDIA OUTLET HERE ( https://21w.co/support )
