Hey, welcome to the Dirt Show. Sorry, I'm so dressed up. I was in a deposition all day

today, and I didn't have a chance to change into something more appropriate for a podcast.

Big news day today, big news day today. Ukraine, presidents, speech on Ukraine, whether

or not Putin is pulling back some of his troops, big deal, market up, 400 points. As the

result of it, does that mean that the Martin, the market believes Putin or that the market

believes Biden or that the market just wants some assurance that there won't be a war

breaking out in Ukraine. We'll talk about that. We're also going to talk about the

jury's verdict in the Sarah Palin case. They rejected Sarah Palin's defamation case

an issue that is close to home. Prince Andrew threw in the towel, basically, and settled

his case with Virginia Goofrey, the woman who is falsely accusing me. And so the question

arises, what implications does that have? How much did she get? We don't know. At this

point, these things manage somehow to find their way into the media, but who knows? Who

paid? Was it mommy who paid the bill? Was it churns? Was it the Prince himself who just

sold his shell out somewhere? So we'll talk about that. So let's start with with Ukraine.

This could be a win-win for both Putin and Biden. Putin doesn't benefit by going to war

and taking over more land in Ukraine. He benefits from selling oil. And if he were to send

troops into Ukraine, United States is not going to respond with nuclear weapons. Don't worry

you won't have to go to your shelters. That's not going to happen. But there'll be sanctions.

The sanctions would hurt the Russian economy. The Russian economy is tottering. It's very

weak. It's one of the weakest economies among large countries in the world. Russia is an

enormous country, geographically and underpopulated. Parts of Russia have very, very tiny populations.
