"Slava Ukraini!" and How America Can't Be Trusted RN 37:07

for 2 dage siden37:07

37:07

In a special double-header episode, Rick Wilson sits down with Alexander Vindman and Kenneth Harbaugh to discuss everything "Ukraine." Given Trump's unbelievable utter disrespect toward Zelensky and Ukraine during his recent Oval Office meeting and Trump's ongoing salivation over his man-crush and wannabe penpal Putin, this episode features THE experts who understand the lay of the land in Ukraine -- and, more importantly, where to go from here -- better than anyone else. RUN to go and purchase Alexander Vindman's new book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine, here: https://www.amazon.com/Folly-Realism-Deceived-Betrayed-Ukraine/dp/1541705041 -- it is F*CKING brilliant and couldn't be more topical. ...Then drop everything and check out Kenneth Harbaugh's badass organization, VALOR MEDIA NETWORK, at https://valormedianetwork.com/ . You can get a sense of WHO they are and what they're doing in their brand new trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/@valormedianetwork .

As Rick points out this week, we are operating in an Attention Economy. Let's stop being junkies and focus on what matters long-term for our nation. From Marco Rubio's small D moment on the couch to Trump's dinner theatre speech, we need to remain focused on what we CAN do while this sh*tshow continues... ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ Follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and subscribe to his Substack at therickwilson.substack.com .

Alex Gibney's Documentary Work is Proof that "Truth is Always Stranger than Fiction" 33:36

for 16 dage siden33:36

33:36

Prolific and multi-award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney, who's responsible for the most impactful documentaries of our time -- i.e., Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief , The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley , Totally Under Control , and MANY more --sits down with Rick Wilson to discuss his portfolio of work and how it reflects on the American character. Alex's most recent project, The Bibi Files, uses never-seen-before interrogation footage to tell the story of an investigation into Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle and provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines. Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement lead to corruption and the unwillingness of the Netanyahus to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall. ・・・・・・・・・・・ Follow Alex Gibney at @alexgibneyfilm on X & @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social on Bluesky Stream Alex's most recent project, The Bibi Files, on Jolt.Film Follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X & @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky.
