What do you say to your family when you don’t know if you’ll ever see them again?
In February 2022, he told his wife and children the war had begun. Then he left as Russian forces advanced towards Kyiv, unsure what the coming hours would bring.
This is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Before politics, he built a successful career in Ukrainian television as a writer, producer and performer, even portraying a president on screen. In 2019, he was elected President of Ukraine. Three years later, Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
Sitting down with him was surreal and an enormous responsibility. It was a rare chance to hear his account of the first hours of the war and the decisions that followed.
We discussed things like:
How he found out Russia had invaded.
Why he refused an offer to evacuate Kyiv.
The 64km Russian military convoy advancing towards the capital.
How Russian forces tried to capture a key airport.
His account of discovering hundreds of bodies after Russian occupation.
What he believes it will take to end the war.
But I also wanted to understand how he’d been coping.
One of my first questions was simply, “How are you doing?�� His answer was: “It’s hard.”
He spoke about meeting parents whose children had been killed. Some, he explained, simply ask him for a hug.
And as he spoke, there were tears in his eyes.
Whatever your views on the war or the decisions made by those involved, this is a rare opportunity to hear his account of events that have changed millions of lives.
Because behind every map, every headline and every political decision, there are real people.
Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾
(President Zelenskyy was recorded in Ukrainian and dubbed in English.)
17 State Attorneys General have signed a letter supporting passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II that @RepRoKhanna, @RepTeresaLF, & I introduced. We’re just 2 signatures short of forcing this to a floor vote. I believe we’ll get them soon.

How do we address the $40 trillion national debt? With my Six Penny Plan, we make even, across-the-board cuts. In five years, we will balance the budget. It’s that simple, as long as Washington has the will to act.
Bloomberg:
Hedge funds' "absorption of US government debt has outpaced other US creditors, leaving the funds with roughly 8.5% — or about $2.7 trillion — of outstanding Treasuries as of late last year.
It’s a noteworthy sum given hedge funds’ ability to move rapidly, leverage their trades and their flexibility in selling a Treasury security."

Food scarcity is coming. Prices are going to explode. The inventory we have in the food industry right now is going to vanish rapidly in the months ahead. And REPLENISHING that food with new, incoming food is going to cost much, much more than the original food ingredients we bought wholesale earlier in 2026.
Grow what you can. Stock what you can't. And get it earlier rather than later. Social upheaval will follow rising food inflation and food scarcity. Chaos is a certainty in some countries in 2027. And even in North America, the situation is going to get dicey with record demand at food banks.
Prepare accordingly.
Just like in early 2008, most are oblivious to the obvious signs of a real estate crash. Only this time the losses for lenders will be bigger, as not only will they lose hundreds of billions on the mortgages that default, but they've already lost trillions on the ones that don't.
How long will I live rent free in @realDonaldTrump’s head? Wait until he finds out we’re going to pass another Epstein bill AND vote on Impeaching Hegseth before I leave. That might renew the lease indefinitely!
COVID was the obedience test. But this engineered global energy and famine agenda is the REAL THING. They are going all-out to achieve a global reset combined with some level of depopulation. They want to collapse currencies, destroy nations, unleash social chaos and then use these emergencies to grab more power for themselves. A hard-hitting clip from my podcast today.
Oil rose another 2.5% today. It's almost $104. If you think gas prices are high now, just wait until after the midterms when Trump has to turn off the spigots from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep it from running dry. Oil could hit $150, sending gas prices to record highs.
Tucker is absolutely right. He has reached the inevitable conclusion that people like myself, Michael Yon, David Dubyne and others have been warning about for many years, well ahead of the current wars. This has been the plan even before COVID. The plan? Mass global extermination.
We have pigs! Carolyn and I have been raising seven pigs in two chicken tractors for about five weeks. The JD tractor in the picture is just used as an anchor. The Clucks Capacitor that I invented is moving them a few inches at a time so they have fresh grass everyday.
17 State Attorneys General sent House and Senate leadership a letter in support of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.
EFTA II is an unfortunate necessity to achieve transparency and accountability since @TheJusticeDept failed to uphold EFTA I.
The Housing Market Index fell to 29 in Oct., the lowest since 2012. Inflation, tariffs, & immigration policy have sent construction costs soaring, as rising mortgage rates make higher-priced homes even more expensive to buy. This will be the worst housing market in U.S. history.
