Summary

As the war in Ukraine continues, Americans remain divided on the appropriate U.S. response. Last week a meeting in the Oval Office between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy turned heated—taking a sensitive diplomatic discussion far too public and ending in disaster.

Hi, I'm Sissy Graham Lynch.

Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture.

Well, welcome back to another episode of Fearless.

0:28.1

And this weekend, I experienced something new.

0:34.0

I was labeled woke and called woke, which there's a first for everything.

0:40.9

And it was in response to a video I posted sharing my thoughts on the President Trump's meeting with President Zildlinsky of Ukraine. And I just, it was very mild thoughts,

but this is a country that's been at war. They have faced brutality of evil. Women have been

1:53.0

murdered and raped. Children have been taken. And so I never see that a moment to be mocked and to make

2:00.0

fun of. And that is what I've seen in the

2:01.6

Republican Party. And we can talk about those issues and people can differ on those issues.

2:06.1

Where also I have a problem is where are we finding our information and what is feeling our

information is coming from conservative political pundance. And that shouldn't be the only place we get
