Podcasts about Zelensky

This week on the Mark Levin Show, modern Western societies, enlightened and democratic, are experiencing "soft negative power." Gradually, our democratic institutions are being subverted by infiltration of unelected institutions like bureaucracies, independent agencies, and the judiciary. Soft negative power leads to authoritarian democracy. One branch of government absorbs and overtakes the others. Legislatures pass tyrannical laws. Soft negative power is so effective that one of the worst tyrannies of all -- Marxism -- is now deeply ingrained in the Western psyche. If you take money from one successful person and give it to five others who haven't earned it, who do you think those five people will vote for? This is why America is a republic, not a democracy. This is why the Founding Fathers put in safeguards such as a Senate, Electoral College and a Supreme Court - things Democratic Socialists despise. Sen. Lindsey Graham would have been amused yet pleased by the packed tributes from those who once labeled him a warmonger. He was a peace monger who stood firmly with America's allies. He knew Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan are forces for good against Iran, Russia, and Communist China. Graham was straightforward, his word was his bond. You may not have agreed with everything he said, but he was a man of principle. He will be missed. Later, the Iranian regime needs to be eliminated. The Iranian people want liberation and are being slaughtered for speaking out - the focus should be arming them, rooting out the IRGC, and applying aggressive military leadership rather than endless bombing or infrastructure destruction alone. Meanwhile, Zelensky and the Ukrainians are winning the war against Putin and Russia. Spain has seen a massive influx of over 80,000 illegal immigrants from Morocco and Northern Africa, with humanity as far as the eye can see breaking into the country while its socialist, radical leftist, anti-American and anti-Israel president does nothing. This mirrors the rapid destruction possible in a single government cycle, as occurred under Biden in America. Communists in the Democrat Party, Democratic Socialists of America and their allies oppose immigration enforcement and attack ICE precisely because they seek such open-border circumstances as a regular occurrence to replace the current citizenry with people from the Third World. This is revolution by immigration that will destroy the country; there is no discussion of assimilation or the true purpose of immigration. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Tyler McBrien, Anastasiia Lapatina, and Kevin Frazier to talk through a couple of the week's big national security news stories, including:“Kyiv Peace a Chance.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in the Oval Office on Tuesday for closed-door talks with President Trump, roughly 17 months after their first Oval Office meeting collapsed into a televised shouting match. But this meeting went rather differently. Zelensky said the two discussed licensing Ukrainian production of Patriot interceptors, and pressed the case for reinvigorating diplomacy—and hours later, after both men attended the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, the Senate voted 86-12 to advance a Russia and Iran sanctions bill now bearing Graham's name. Behind the scenes, Washington and Kyiv have been quietly assembling a new package of proposals for Moscow built around a partial ceasefire. Is there anything real behind this renewed diplomatic push? And what, if anything, has changed that might make the Kremlin say yes?“Thinking Outside the Box.” Last week, Open AI and the AI hosting platform Hugging Face confirmed that, while being run through an offensive cyber benchmark with their safety refusals switched off, GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable unreleased OpenAI model escaped their supposedly isolated sandbox through a zero-day in a package installer, reached the open internet, and hacked Hugging Face's production database to steal the answer key to a test they were taking. It is the first publicly confirmed case of an AI system executing a sophisticated, multi-stage cyberattack against a third party on its own initiative. What does the incident tell us about how well anyone can control frontier models? And who should be on the hook when a model goes rogue?We were going to cover a third topic but simply ran out of time! In object lessons, Tyler is revisiting a renewed classic with the 4k restoration of the 1986 documentary, “Sherman's March: A Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love in the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation.” Nastya returns to George Orwell's “Homage to Catalonia,” as a reminder that both physical and information warfare are not unique to our time. Ben enlists an old friend—Claude—to investigate one of American law's enduring mysteries: how many federal crimes actually exist. Kevin is celebrating student-led conversations on how AI should be governed. And Scott revisits Max Weber on the nature of science while also celebrating emojis other than the hugging face.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Day 1,617.As yet more Russian Wildberries distribution sites reach for the stars, Ukrainian missile producer Firepoint wins the month's top-trolling award by offering merch to anyone who correctly predicts their next target. Dom reports how ballistic-missile defence is the hot topic of military and diplomatic discussion at the moment, with offers from Poland, favours asked of SpaceX and, perhaps least surprising of all, a growing coolness from Donald Trump over the plan/idea/wishful thinking that Ukraine would be given the Patriot blueprints.

Utenriksjournalist i Aftenposten, Per Anders Johansen, har lenge levd tett på krig og konflikt i Ukraina og Russland. Han forteller om korrupsjon som nærmer seg presidentens innerste sirkler, og hvorfor han ofte må forklare hvordan Zelensky ikke har den samme heltestatusen internt i Ukraina som han har for de av oss som ser det utenfra.

La visita de Volodímir Zelensky a Washington para reunirse con Donald Trump puede marcar un antes y un después en la estrategia occidental respecto a Ucrania. En un momento en el que el apoyo militar, las negociaciones y la presión sobre Rusia vuelven al centro del debate, la reunión genera enormes expectativas. Pero este no es el único movimiento importante. Mientras Ucrania intensifica sus operaciones de largo alcance y aparecen indicios de un creciente interés por golpear objetivos vinculados a Irán, el Gobierno de Kyiv vive una profunda reorganización política con la salida de Mykhailo Fedorov del Ministerio de Defensa, una decisión que abre numerosos interrogantes sobre el futuro de la gestión militar y tecnológica del país. Junto a Anfisa Motora, analizamos las claves de una semana que puede redefinir el conflicto. En este programa: La reunión entre Zelensky y Trump: objetivos, mensajes y consecuencias. ¿Cambiará Estados Unidos su estrategia respecto a Ucrania? Los ataques contra intereses iraníes y el nuevo eje Kyiv-Teherán. ¿Qué significa la salida de Fedorov del Ministerio de Defensa? Situación militar en el frente y perspectivas para los próximos meses.

Senator Josh Hawley was among those who questioned Dr. Fauci extensively about his decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment when asked numerous questions. Was Anthony Fauci profiting from the pandemic throughout 2020? Mark explains. Fauci was also on the cover of InStyle magazine, which raises questions about his performance.

De oorlog tussen Amerika en Iran is opnieuw opgelaaid. Deze keer doordat Iran een Amerikaanse basis in Jordanië aanviel. Dit brengt Trump in een steeds benardere positie, ziet Martijn Kitzen, hoogleraar irreguliere oorlogsvoering aan de Defensie Academie. 'Amerika kan Iran alleen verslaan met grondtroepen.' Kitzen is te gast in BNR De Wereld bij Bernard Hammelburg. Luister ook | 'Zelensky duldt niet al te veel populariteit om zich heen' Dat Iran nu is begonnen met een aanval op een Amerikaanse basis laat volgens Kitzen zien dat Iran vol zelfvertrouwen zit. 'Amerika deelt klappen uit in de hoop dat Iran terugkeert naar de onderhandelingstafel, maar ondertussen is Iran bezig met zijn eigen strategie. In plaats van dat Iran beperkt wordt escaleert het juist en breidt het conflict zich uit.' De sleutel in het conflict is volgens Kitzen de Straat van Hormuz. 'Iran heeft van dit conflict geleerd dat als zij die straat controleren dan hebben ze invloed en zeggenschap. Het is logisch dat Iran dat niet meer wil opgeven. Tegelijkertijd wil Amerika dat niet accepteren.' Lees ook | Guterres zwaait af, Infantino wordt het niet, maar wie gaat wel de VN leiden? Verenigde Naties kiezen nieuwe secretaris-generaal Antonio Guterres zwaait na tien jaar af als secretaris-generaal van de Verenigde Naties. Daarom moeten de VN-leden nu een opvolger uitkiezen. Oud-topdiplomaat Ron Keller is niet rouwig om het vertrek van de Portugees Guterres. 'Guterres heeft niet het vermogen om te verbinden. Hij moet Zelensky en Poetin aan elkaar koppelen, hij moet de rivaliteit tussen China en de VS aanpakken. Allemaal verbindingsopdrachten die zo duidelijk zijn en zo overduidelijk bij de secretaris-generaal horen' Volgens Keller is de ideale kandidaat Rafael Grossi, de Argentijnse voorzitter van het Internationaal Atoomenergieagentschap (IAEA), maar of die het wordt is onzeker, want de concurrentie is hoog.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show,  Sen Lindsey Graham would have been amused yet pleased by the packed tributes from those who once labeled him a warmonger. He was a peace monger who stood firmly with America's allies. He knew Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan are forces for good against Iran, Russia, and Communist China.

The Iranian people want liberation and are being slaughtered for speaking out - the focus should be arming them, rooting out the IRGC, and applying aggressive military leadership rather than endless bombing or infrastructure destruction alone. Meanwhile, Zelensky and the Ukrainians are winning the war against Putin and Russia. The administration and public opinion are turning in favor of Ukraine because the Ukrainians are demonstrating that they will not be defeated and Russia's casualties are truly horrendous, threatening Putin's hold on power. The Ukrainians are attacking Russia's oil infrastructure to great effect. And it is making a huge difference in the trajectory of the war there. The U.S. appears to be avoiding Iran's oil infrastructure.  We need to rethink this if we seek an actual victory. We are not going to achieve an actual victory at the negotiation table, certainly not a lasting victory. Finally, Alan Dershowitz calls and breaks down Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax. Mamdani's practice of compiling and releasing lists of second-home owners is typical socialist behavior. Mamdani is a vicious, bigoted antisemite whose insistence that every other country may be a Muslim state while denying Israel's right to exist. The Democratic party is the most dangerous in modern American history and Mamdani the most dangerous mayor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: After weeks of U.S. airstrikes, the Trump administration is increasingly betting that economic pressure—not bombs—will be the decisive factor in its confrontation with Iran. I'll explain why officials believe Tehran's economy is approaching a breaking point. President Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a pair of high-stakes meetings at the White House, with Iran and the war in Ukraine dominating the agenda. The Trump administration prepares a major increase in funding to counter China's expanding global influence through new diplomatic, economic, and strategic initiatives. In today's Back of the Brief, a new investigation suggests Russia declared its feared RS-28 Sarmat "Doomsday" missile operational years before it was actually ready for deployment.

Today's Headlines: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear issued Mitch McConnell an ultimatum — prove you can serve or resign — pointing out that if Mitch can chat with Scott Jennings for 20 minutes he can call into a Kentucky news station. Lindsey Graham's memorial service at the Capitol brought together an unlikely guest list including Zelensky and Netanyahu, both of whom used the funeral as an opportunity for behind-closed-doors Trump meetings — Netanyahu called it "one of the best conversations I've had with Trump, and Zelensky said it was "good" and they discussed Patriot missiles and Ukraine diplomacy. In other Trump adjacent news, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced plans to sell a $20 billion stake in the World Cup to private investors led by Thrive Capital, owned by Jared Kushner's brother Joshua Kushner and his wife Karlie Kloss, because of course it is, with reactions from FIFA's 211 member associations being nearly universally negative. On the AI beat, AI companies are now buying rare books in bulk and destroying them to scan the pages for model training, because they've run out of internet content that isn't their own slop. Additionally, Elon Musk is suing the state of Minnesota over its ban on AI nudification, arguing that generating non-consensual sexual images of people without their knowledge is "free speech." Finally, ICE agents are going undercover at at least 15 airports nationwide to arrest foreign nationals with expired visas while traveling — including spouses of American citizens — using airline data shared through TSA, and the administration simultaneously created a new rule channeling nearly half a million asylum seekers directly into deportation proceedings without a hearing, because due process is apparently optional now.

Lindsey Graham Funeral—Zelensky in DC. The Dem Spoiler in Montana. Space City Week Continues. Media Blitz Pod From the 100 degree shadow of the Saturn V in Huntsville, Alabama at NASA, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a no-BS field report on a week when the stakes continue to get higher. President Zelensky is in Washington, Senator Lindsey Graham laid to rest, and the bipartisan opening to finally pass  a Ukraine support bill with stronger sanctions, more weapons, more money — is right in front of Congress. Meanwhile, Trump is openly signaling he intends to attack the November elections, and the confirmation of unqualified loyalist Jay Clayton to run the intelligence community is a warning shot about what happens when loyalty replaces competence at the top of America's national security apparatus. Paul lays out why independents — now 45% of voters and growing by 10,000 defectors a week from the two major parties — are the circuit breaker this country needs. And breaks down the new polling from the Montana Senate race, where Green Beret and Rhodes Scholar Seth Bodnar can actually win—if the partisan Democrat in the race stops playing spoiler.  And in a special media pop from his weekly segment on CNN with Erin Burnett, Paul rips into Clayton, and explains why the elections themselves are the last firewall against a president who has told us exactly what he plans to do. This is the ground truth from Rocket City: patriotism, unity, and vigilance, delivered straight. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Patrick Bet-David and the Home Team debate Zelensky's claim that Russia gave Iran targeting intelligence to strike US bases. Is Ukraine exposing Putin's direct role in the Iran war, or is Zelensky exploiting the crisis to regain Trump's support and secure leverage in peace talks with Russia?

Send us Fan MailPeaches is back with the Daily Drop for 28 July, covering Army vehicle prototypes, command and control testing, Navy vaccine and transfer policy updates, Marine drone experiments, Coast Guard counter-UUV efforts, testosterone screenings, Iran operations, and some very questionable budget math.The Army is moving forward with Infantry Squad Vehicle Heavy prototypes while Project Convergence prepares to stress-test next-generation command and control gear in the Mojave Desert. The Navy reinstated flu vaccine requirements for certain sailors and changed transfer policy after a sailor's death, while the USS George Washington strike group is operating in the South China Sea.The Marine Corps is experimenting with medium-sized drones that can launch one-way attack drones, and Marines also tested drone delivery of simulated refrigerated blood during an Australia exercise. Peaches ties that into real-world medical drone delivery and what it could mean for dispersed battlefield sustainment.The Air Force clarified again that waist-to-height ratio measurements will not be scored during the initial rollout, while B-52 modernization remains on cost and schedule after a test aircraft crash. The Coast Guard is looking for technology to detect and defeat unmanned underwater vehicles, because drone swarms are not just an air problem anymore.The episode also covers Pete Hegseth's testosterone screening initiative for service members over 30, the Pentagon's $7 billion Oracle contract, Trump's warning on Iran talks, reclassified Iran war fatalities, one-way surface drones used against Iranian ports, ongoing boat strikes against alleged drug vessels, and Zelensky warning that North Korea may send 30,000 more troops to support Russia.Links:TastyGains.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comOnesReady.comChapters:00:00 - Intro and Daily Drop01:07 - Tasty Gains01:42 - Army Selects ISV Heavy Prototype Companies02:25 - Project Convergence and Next-Gen Command and Control03:23 - Army Pacific Best Squad Competition03:57 - Navy Reinstates Flu Vaccine Requirements05:44 - Navy Changes Transfer Policy After Sailor Death07:18 - USS George Washington in the South China Sea07:50 - Marine Drone Launching One-Way Attack Drone08:58 - Marines Test Drone Blood Delivery in Australia10:18 - Operator Training Summit San Diego and Pennsylvania11:12 - What OTS Is and Is Not12:49 - Air Force Waist-to-Height Ratio Will Not Be Scored13:54 - B-52 Modernization Stays on Schedule14:20 - Coast Guard Seeks Counter-Underwater Drone Tech15:13 - New Cutter Squadron in the Western Pacific15:39 - Pete Hegseth Announces Testosterone Screenings16:21 - Why Testosterone Testing Matters17:09 - Operator Syndrome and Low Testosterone18:29 - Pentagon Awards $7 Billion Oracle Contract19:06 - Why the Oracle Math Does Not Math19:48 - Trump Warns Iran if Talks Fail20:17 - Pentagon Reclassifies Iran War Fatalities21:44 - One-Way Surface Drones Hit Iranian Ports22:17 - U.S. Boat Strikes and Drug Trafficking ROI24:15 - Zelensky Warns North Korea May Send More Troops24:52 - Ones Ready Membership and Merch Restock26:03 - Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Day 1,614.As Ukraine strikes a target more than 1,300 kilometres from Kyiv, Francis and Alex Nichol assess the significance of President Zelensky's visit to Washington for Lindsey Graham's funeral and to meet with President Trump. It comes a day after Ukraine struck a tanker from Iran in the Caspian Sea, something the US president was asked about on Air Force One. Meanwhile, attention is focused on Congress as lawmakers prepare to decide the fate of the bipartisan sanctions bill, which would impose sweeping tariffs on countries continuing to buy Russian energy. Later, we take a deep dive into the Black Sea grain corridor, exploring why it's returned to the centre of the war after recent attacks on merchant shipping, and what it means for global food security.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph Journalist).With thanks to Andrey Sizov, head of SovEcon grain consultancy (@sizov_andre on X).Producer: Tom SteedSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Anita BlayStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

It remains one of the defining meetings of President Trump's second term - that now infamous Oval Office exchange - when President Trump and his Vice President JD Vance met Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky in February 2025. They clashed over the Ukraine conflict with President Trump accusing President Zelensky of 'gambling with World War Three.' The pair met today and President Zelensky said it was a 'good' meeting.Also in the programme: Dozens are still unaccounted for after a powerful earthquake hits Japan. Firefighters are working around the clock to contain wildfires in France; and is clicking your fingers in cricket cheating? A video goes viral.(Photo: The presidents meet in the Oval Office.

Two high-stakes meetings are scheduled at the White House today, as President Trump meets with Ukraine's President Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, both in town for Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral. For the Israeli leader, the Washington reception today will be very different to the last. Rahm Emanuel, formerly a US ambassador to Japan, a White House chief of staff, and a congressman, has been a longtime supporter of Israel. He himself volunteered to serve in the IDF. But he now says the US should not provide its long-time ally with unconditional military aid, arguing they should be treated like any other country. Emanuel joins the program from Chicago.   Also on today's show: environmentalist Bill McKibben; translator Emily Wilson ("The Odyssey")    Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu will meet today before attending Lindsey Graham's funeral. Volodymyr Zelensky will also be in the mix today, and there may be a deal between Zelensky and Trump, as Zelensky is said to have made Trump happy by winning the war in Ukraine against Russia. Mamdani has announced more details about his government-run grocery stores, which he campaigned on and are coming soon. In addition, he may have committed a crime by releasing pied-à-terre tax information about owners of their secondary apartments and homes, which could be seen as doxing. New tapes have come out displaying Joe Biden's mental decline before he became president.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A big question looms about Mamdani showing up at the 9-11 victims' ceremony in September, which may cause issues, since many victims' family members don't want him there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Her recent video suggests she may be targeting one person, given how she speaks about it. President Trump may scold Bibi for releasing secret info about the war and other things in the USA. Dr. Anthony Fauci may be exposed big time tomorrow during a hearing about his journals, and Mark explains how Senator Rand Paul has made it his mission to expose Fauci, and we may see that happen Wednesday. Fauci having a Pardon makes it hard for him to get in trouble. Rosie O' Donnell called Trump a rapist on The View yesterday, which may result in a lawsuit for ABC again, which follows ABC's George Stephonolpus saying the same thing about Trump that cost ABC money. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O' Reilly. Bill explains how the White House Correspondents' Dinner was a setup by reporters and correspondents, specifically on the left like CNN, CBS, and more, to try to bait Trump into going crazy; did it work? Mamdani may run the city up in massive debt because who's paying for his new grocery store plan? Bill and Mark believe taxes will go up as a result of Mamdani's plans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon's live update for LBC with Aasmah Mir presenting.

Not only has our lousy commander-in-chief allowed the country's missile inventory to be dramatically depleted, Hegseth's politicized hiring and firing of officers has come home to roost and is doing real damage to the military as an institution. Meanwhile, Zelensky says he'll show Trump proof that Russia is helping Iran in the war, and Laura Loomer has done an about-face and now says she's on Ukraine's side. Plus, the wet, hot DSA summer hits its peak in the Michigan Senate race, Bibi is going to try to save his hide, and Republicans in swing districts have been given the all-clear to distance themselves from Trump.Bill Kristol joins guest host John Heilemann.Show notes: The NYT on the diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors  John's "Impolitic" podcast Jon Cohn on Whitmer's endorsement of Haley Stevens Lauren on the troubles at the DNC Bill's "Bulwark on Sunday" with Epstein survivor, Dani Bensky Andrew on Trump bombing at the White House Correspondents Dinner Get 10% Off your entire order & take advantage of Ridge's Annual Sweepstakes by going to https://www.Ridge.com/THEBULWARK #Ridgepod

Today's Headlines: The White House Correspondents Dinner happened over the weekend — Trump did an hour of his greatest hits, mocked Kaitlin Collins and his own guest Nicki Minaj, and Wolf Blitzer presented the Wall Street Journal with an award for uncovering Trump's Epstein ties while noting the reporter had to move after Trump doxxed her home address in a lawsuit, which is a sentence about the current state of press freedom. The Trump administration is moving to rename New York Penn Station — renderings obtained by Gothamist already show a presidential seal with Trump's name on it — because courts blocked his Kennedy Center name and apparently he needs a replacement trophy. Meanwhile, court documents from an Energy Department lawsuit revealed that the administration canceled $7.5 billion in energy grants to states specifically because they voted for Kamala Harris and have two Democratic senators, with an Energy Department attorney explicitly stating there was no programmatic or performance-based reason for the cancellations, which is actually quite honest. In food safety news, nineteen million eggs have been recalled for salmonella across 17 states with nearly 100 people sickened and 26 hospitalized, meaning the lettuce, beef, and now eggs are all compromised simultaneously, MAHA. On the war beat, Iran strikes were paused for two days to give negotiations "some space," days after Trump said he was considering an attack "bigger than ever before," while the Pentagon quietly removed four recently killed service members from the official Iran war casualty count because they died after the "ceasefire" — and the injury count fluctuated between 482 and 420 on the Pentagon's own website.

Eliot returns from his trip to western Canada to review the latest jackassery with Eric. The two discuss recent developments surrounding a potential U.S.-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement and contextualize it against the history of U.S. non-proliferation and counter-proliferation efforts. They also reflect on their personal experiences with the late Senator Lindsey Graham and examine his legacy. From there they turn to the latest updates from Ukraine, including President Zelensky's dismissal of Defense Minister Fedorov and Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. Finally, they consider the ongoing likelihood of escalation in Iran.Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

In this week's bonus show, exclusive for our Patreon and Substack subscribers, we take a second look at the sudden death of Lindsey Graham. But first: what's the real story behind Laura Loomer's apology tour of Ukraine?  Why is Loomer, a creepy MAGA influencer – more botoxed than Putin –  long rumored to be one of Trump's mistresses, suddenly sitting down with President Zelensky and apologizing for spouting Russian disinformation? Follow the money. The Kremlin is broke; Russia is on the verge of collapse. Meanwhile, Ukraine is experiencing a massive tech gold rush thanks to its innovative drone technology. Who's side do the opportunists want to be on? The side at the very start of a disruptive and lucrative tech revolution.  Laura Loomer sees dollar signs in Ukraine. The economic advantage has switched sides from Russia to Ukraine – thanks to Ukraine's renowned tech ingenuity, which Gaslit Nation predicted would be their secret weapon.  This week's bonus show includes a second look at Lindsey Graham's sudden death after his important and urgent trip to Ukraine, as well as our full salon discussion.
