Summary

We just had the G7. There was just a Ukrainian Peace Conference in Switzerland. Here at home we have a wanna be dictator running against a President who fights dictators. Today we talk to international expert Andrea Chalupa about two broad stroke topics, what’s going on in Ukraine, because I think most of us have kind of checked out and don’t have a clue anymore, and what Trump will offer in a second term in regards to American immigration which, after doing the research is so horrifying that it absolutely can’t come to pass. At the end of the day Trump wants to make America Russia and Russia believes it’s owed the world and we need to understand both things if we’re going to properly fight back.
