Episode notes

I think that they've been very negative and they would kill me if I was in Ukraine. If you travel to Ukraine, I mean... I wouldn't get in. Except through Don Bass, I'd come through. There are some Americans in Don Bass who are reporting on the war there. They're pretty interesting because they show you the cruelty of what's going on but never mentioned in the West. Or that's what's so strange about this. This is a modern world that we're living in,. yet that information is not coming out to the mass of the people. The United States has closed down all the R.T., all the alternative news getting to the American people.
