Summary
Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come in hot, calling out a Senate vote that stalled a massive defense bill and a fresh Fort Knox gold audit before turning to the real fireworks in the Middle East. Expect a breakdown of Trump not taking certain phone calls, days of strikes tied to Iran, and why Lindsey Graham keeps popping up in the story. They also get into new documents on Jack Smith that suggest serious legal trouble ahead, plus a 19 second clip the guys say backs it all up. Between the headlines there is the usual banter, big claims about predictions lining up, and a reminder that buckling up might be an understatement this week. If you like your news served with a side of conviction, this one delivers.
