Zelensky says Washington trusts Putin, but the host suggests Putin 'thrusts his dick in Trump's throat any chance he gets.'

The episode opens with host Peter Lawrence introducing the show and encouraging listeners to share it, noting he records straight through without breaks. He begins with the war in Ukraine, citing President Volodymyr Zelensky's claim that Washington ignores evidence of Russia helping Iran because it trusts Putin, and Lawrence makes a crude analogy about Putin and Trump. He then reports on a media investigation revealing audio recordings of Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto coordinating with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Ukraine's EU accession, with Szijjarto promising to provide EU documents to Moscow. Lawrence moves to other international news, including Japan's ambassador being summoned by Russia over a drone deal, Moldova withdrawing from the CIS, and a Russian GRU cyber espionage operation targeting Wi-Fi routers. He details casualty figures from Russian attacks in Ukraine. Lawrence shifts to NATO, reporting that Trump is considering pulling the U.S. from the alliance and describing a meeting between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Root. The episode then focuses on the Middle East, covering a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement that is disputed over whether Lebanon is included, with conflicting statements from Israel, the U.S., and Pakistan. Lawrence reports on international reactions, including calls for sanctions against Israel and a war powers resolution in the U.S. Congress. He discusses the Trump administration threatening the Pope over a speech criticizing militarism. Domestic topics include inflation data showing stagflation concerns, the Epstein files cover-up with former Attorney General Pam Bondy subpoenaed, and a California sheriff seizing ballots in an election fraud investigation. Lawrence ends with a segment on Texas proposing biblical stories in public school curriculums, before signing off from Los Angeles.
