## Resource

Alternate Current Radio and 21st Century Wire present: Sunday Wire with Patrick Henningsen This week the SUNDAY WIRE broadcasts on Alternate Current Radio , with your host Patrick Henningsen covering all the top stories internationally. Today, we give the nod to the late filmmaker Aaron Russo , as we acknowledge multiple signals that the Trump Administration is implementing what can only be described as bona fide fascist edicts, masquerading as 'policy'—and in doing so, his government ironically has already validated all of the over-the-top anti-Trump rhetoric and hysteria we were inundated with over the past decade. Strange, but true. In the second Overdrive segment we connect with cohost Bryan McClain , to discuss the latest headlines and review comments from our audience. All this and more… 21st Century Wire: Website: https://21stcenturywire.com/ Support: https://21w.co/support Alternate Current Radio: Website: https://alternatecurrentradio.com Support: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/ Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/ This month’s featured music artists: Red Rumble Peter Conway Joseph Arthur Phil Zimmerman Beady Man Poet Peyoti for President Walk-On Army Permanent Wave Utility
