## Resource

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid catch their breath after one of the wildest weeks in years. Iran's civilian government just ended the war, the Strait of Hormuz reopened, sanctions are coming off, and Trump's approval rating in Israel went from positive twenty three to negative twenty three in seven days. Save Israel for last is happening in real time. Mark Levin is having a public meltdown, the APEC lobby is in panic mode, and the MOU to Israel was never released. The bombshell of the episode comes when the guys catch what Trump quietly admitted at the G7. He installed Jolani in Syria with Erdogan before he was even back in office. That confirms the takedown of Assad and the dismantling of the Iran to Hezbollah land bridge were Trump's moves, not Bibi's, and it completely shreds the controlled by Israel narrative. From there they unpack the Jay Clayton ODNI nomination and his SDNY history with Maduro, the Cartel de los Soles generals, Epstein, the Weiner laptop, and the Clinton Foundation. Plus the Tulsi report driving a national emergency on election integrity, the Hochul Medicaid fraud indictment, Newsom's California DOJ investigating his own wife, and the eight man B-52 crash at Edwards that has the Mossad telegram channels celebrating.
