Mystery blasts cripple Russian fleets in port & Putin to unleash '1,000 missiles and drones a day' on Ukraine

Day 1,230.

Today, as Ukraine was hit over the weekend in Kharkiv, Kherson, Kramatorsk and Kostiantynivka, and Ukraine attacked Russia’s airfields and fleets, we discuss the positive phone call between Trump and Zelensky, and dive into political fractures in Ukraine. Then we speak with Sam Cook about his foundation and the role of history in wartime.
