About this episode
The Trump administration is touting progress in brokering a Ukraine peace deal, with claims that Ukraine has tentatively signed on and only a few details needing to be sewn up to get Russia on board. Guest host Chris Keene and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the ongoing political theater around a war that could have ended years earlier if Western powers hadn't intervened to sabotage diplomacy mere weeks after the war begain. As mainstream outlets praise or panic over the proposal, the hosts highlight the staggering human toll—1.4 million dead—contrasting it with U.S. officials now admitting Ukraine faces imminent defeat and unsustainable military support. With blistering commentary, they shred both parties for fueling endless war, exploiting Ukraine's suffering, and pretending sudden urgency after years of burying peace negotiations. The segment closes with the hosts blasting the hypocrisy, corruption, and geopolitical gamesmanship from both Democrats and Republicans keeping the conflict alive while ordinary people pay the price. Plus segments on newly minted CBS News head Bari Weiss explaining that she wants to be an informational gatekeeper, the reaction to Joe Rogan suggesting that cultural issues are being used to divide us, Tucker Carlson saying he now "hates" the Republican Party and U2's Bono's declaration of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
