单集文稿 ...

  • All right, it's officially been a month now.

  • And to his credit, President Trump waited almost an entire month before doing a 180 on US Russia relations.

  • Trump had a nice long phone call with Vladimir Putin about a week ago.

  • Ukraine was not invited.

  • My call was perfect.

  • And then on Tuesday, Trump blamed Ukraine for being invaded by Russia.

  • And then to top it off, on on Truth Social yesterday, he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator without elections.

  • Shortly thereafter, on that same website, Trump called himself a king.

  • Totally cool, normal stuff.

  • But you might be old enough to remember the United States being on Ukraine's side of this war.

  • On Today explained we're getting used to this new normal being BFFs with Russia.

  • And we're gonna start with the person Trump has put in charge of US Intelligence, a Russia sympathizer with no intelligence experience to speak of named Tulsi Gabbard.

  • What's up, besties?

  • On this week's episode of Net Worth and Chill.

  • I'm sitting down with Lexi Alford, AKA Lexi Limitless, the youngest person to have been to every single country in the world.

  • We chatted about how she turned her passion for travel into breaking a world record and transforming that momentum into a seven figure business.

  • Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on the your rich BFF YouTube channel.

  • This week on the Gray Area, why.

  • Are we so afraid of our own ignorance?

  • Someone refutes our argument.
