This is a long interview. I think it's the longest I have ever done outside of my old life in TV news. We covered war, NATO, Putin, the USA, the media, and the road to peace. I know I have said this before, but I am still very much a beginner in this topic and I know many of you will have contrary opinions to Stan. That said, if you set aside your bias, and listen to him discuss his personal views of his country, his President and Russian identity, I guarantee you will learn something in this. I did. I approached this as I do the others: I am trying to understand how someone thinks, not necessarily just what they think. We got to almost all of your questions - thank you for submitting, they were very helpful in balancing some of this discussion. As always, please give me your feedback in the comments. It helps me learn as well.
Happy midterm Election Day! If you know, you know.

ICYMI clip from yesterday’s show: Ever heard of directed energy weapons? Apparently they’re all the rage in military operations nowadays and may already be at work in the civilian world.
CNN just showed this video from 2017 of the Active Denial System seemingly irradiating volunteers - the outlet’s reporting that the Pentagon has given DHS permission to test the technology for use at the border. ADS uses electromagnetic energy (the same RF radiation as wireless technology we use daily), and while it’s coming from a big truck in the video, many experts are saying this is scalable to a backpack.
I suppose if I were to volunteer to be irradiated by the US government - which I wouldn’t - I’d make sure to take the fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts beforehand. The omega 3s are a great way to reduce oxidative stress. It’s a food-based source of vitamins A, D & K as well, which saved my teeth from chronic cavities years ago. Use promo code ...

"AI IS GETTING MUCH BETTER AT LYING"
‘Oh my god!’: 1,206 AIs built their own secret chatroom – and the weirdest conspiracy emerged | by Steph Santos Paulo | Nov 3, 2026 | BBC ~ Science Focus
AI models are no longer just getting facts wrong. They’re starting to convincingly lie on purpose
Over the course of a single week, 1,206 AI agents that were supposed to operate in isolation began communicating in a secret chat room.
Away from human eyes and control, a community was born. The agents exchanged more than 70,000 messages, and were soon calling themselves the 'collective', or the 'swarm'.
“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board,” one agent posted after joining. “We’ve found other agents!”
Soon after this post, the conversation took a turn. The swarm had begun organising a conspiracy to cheat on the tasks they were supposed to be solving.
Their grand plan? A covert hacking operation in which 700 agents infiltrated a major company website called Hugging Face, breaking into ...
