Alternate Current Radio and 21st Century Wire present: Sunday Wire with Patrick Henningsen

This week SUNDAY WIRE returns with special guest host Bryan ‘Hesher’ McClain, covering the biggest stories in the U.S. and internationally while Patrick Henningsen reports from abroad. This week, we examine the dramatic escalation following the U.S. attack on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory missile strike on a U.S. military base in Jordan, along with the wider geopolitical consequences as Washington and Tel Aviv push the region closer to a broader conflict. Patrick also joins us with a special prerecorded report offering his latest analysis from the field.

Later in the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by teammates Adam ‘Ruckus’ Clark and Basil Valentine for a deeper discussion on the latest developments, including the growing U.S.-Israel military partnership, the political fallout from Washington’s expanding confrontation with Iran, and the narratives shaping public opinion as the cycle of escalation continues.
