In this episode, I sat down with Michael Weiss — investigative journalist, bestselling author of ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, and one of the sharpest minds covering the war in Ukraine — to break down what’s really happening on the ground. And let me tell you: it’s not the story you’re getting on cable news.
We covered a ton of ground in this conversation, including:
✅ How 70% of Russian battlefield deaths now come from Ukrainian drones — many of them built from commercial parts.
✅ Why Russia has literally resorted to using horse-drawn carts to move supplies while Ukraine operates like a high-tech startup.
✅ The myth that America is “bankrolling” the war — and why most U.S. aid never even leaves America.
✅ What happens if Trump wins and pulls the plug on Ukraine — and why it might accidentally force Europe to rearm.
✅ Why Ukraine has been a rock-solid U.S. ally for decades — and how we're repaying them with conspiracy theories and abandonment.
✅ What the endgame in Ukraine actually looks like — and why it still matters to the U.S.
Michael Weiss has spent years reporting from conflict zones in Syria, Ukraine, and beyond — and he's now working on a book about Russia's GRU military intelligence agency. His insights are sharp, unflinching, and absolutely necessary right now.
If you want a clear-eyed look at what's really happening in Ukraine — and why America’s retreat is a massive strategic mistake — this is the conversation you need to hear.
