Time to Dial Back the Wars

This week SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week, look at the dangerous escalation by the U.S. and its Gulf proxies against Iran, with Yemen pulled back into the maelstrom, and a Trump Administration becoming more hamstrung and compromised by a war they can’t win.

Engineered Emergencies

This week on Boiler Room, Hesher and guests examine the growing intersection of perpetual crisis, AI infrastructure, surveillance, and information warfare. Are today’s emergencies merely being managed—or are they laying the foundation for a more centralized technological future?

Iran & The Requiem for U.S. Hegemony

Guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain returns for Sunday Wire as Patrick Henningsen reports from Iran during the historic funeral observances for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This episode examines the geopolitical significance of Iran’s national mourning, Washington’s expanding confrontation with Tehran, the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, and what these events may reveal about the shifting balance of power in an increasingly multipolar world.

A Funeral for Diplomacy

Special guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain takes the helm for this week’s Sunday Wire as we examine the aftermath of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the funeral processions honoring Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and whether the current ceasefire represents peace—or merely a pause before another round of conflict. We also reflect on America’s 250th anniversary and what remains of diplomacy in an age defined by permanent war, political spectacle, and global uncertainty. Featuring Adam “Ruckus” Clark and Basil Valentine.
