## Resource

Hour 3 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Trump posted a photo of him walking with an alien on a military base. The media is claiming that Kash Patel allegedly desecrated the site of the Pearl Harbor memorial, the site of the sunken U.S.S. Arizona. Acting AG Todd Blanche was on with Maria Bartiromo. Blanche answered questions on election fraud, the statue of limitations with the Russian Collusion, and an update on the charges against James Comey.
