Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode combines striking visual data from the ground with exclusive political insight. We begin by examining the scale of destruction in Gaza using newly updated Google Earth imagery and UN reports detailing 61 million tonnes of debris. Next, we dive into an extraordinary insider account from top Middle East adviser Brett McGurk, revealing the intense frustration inside the Biden White House, a heated phone call where the President threatened to cut off military aid to Israel, and the tense Situation Room standoff against Iranian missiles. Finally, we pivot to the upcoming midterm elections to break down the high-stakes Senate race in Michigan, where candidate Abdul El-Sayed has built an unexpected, game-changing coalition.-- -- --Today's Sponsors:American Alternative Assets - Visit http://JohnLovesGold.com, or call (888) GOLD-053 for your free report.-- -- --LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: youtube.com/@realjohnkiriakou-- -- --Connect with me on social media:Instagram —  instagram.com/realjohnkiriakouTikTok —  tiktok.com/kiriakousbriefingroomX —  x.com/johnkiriakou-- -- --Check out my Cameo! https://www.cameo.com/jkiriakou-- -- --📗 My new book “The Ultimate Guide to CIA Skills, Tactics, and Techniques” is available for pre-order on Amazon:https://a.co/d/0caou5V8-- -- --johnkiriakou.com
