## Resource

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid pull up chairs for a Sunday night that refused to stay quiet. Top of the docket: the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, and whether a 71 year old warhawk simply ran out of runway or became a very convenient message. The guys walk through timelines, aortic dissections, drone facilities, and a Cash Patel late night White House summons, weighing the boring explanation against the ones that keep you up at night. From there it is straight into Iran, with the US answering attacks in Iraq by lighting up 140 targets, plus a look at whose Air Force One really had a bad week. They also tip a hat to the FBI and Interpol teaming up on a global human trafficking takedown, and close with Josh pitching a walking tour of the Denver International Airport, symbolism, secret tunnels, and all. Bring your tinfoil, keep your sense of humor.
