Lev Parnas, once entangled in the Trump-Ukraine scandal, joins me, Jack Hopkins, for a revealing session that promises to rattle the status quo of political perceptions. As we unpack his intriguing life story from Soviet roots to a consequential figure in American politics, Lev sheds light on the intricacies of his business ascent and the notorious dealings with Rudy Giuliani. His explosive assertions on Trump's intimate involvement with the Ukraine saga offer a prelude to the earthquake his new book, "Shadow Diplomacy," aims to trigger.

The tendrils of Russian influence and an almost theatrical mob mentality in U.S. politics are at the forefront of our engrossing dialogue. We probe the psyche of Donald Trump, drawing parallels to mob bosses and scrutinizing his ties with authoritarian figures, including Putin. This episode peels back the curtain on GOP loyalty to such personas and the murky depths of super PACs, revealing a complex web of political finance and power plays that could reshape the narrative on transparency and integrity in American governance.

As Lev and I cast our gaze towards the looming specter of Trump's political resurgence, the global consequences come sharply into focus. We dissect scenarios that spell a chilling rollback of rights and freedoms, the potential disbanding of NATO, and a world stage vulnerable to escalating dictatorships. Amidst this critical juncture in history, our conversation transcends mere political discourse, emerging as an urgent clarion call to those who treasure democracy and truth, urging listeners to stand united and resilient against the distortion of reality.

I would urge  you to read his book, Shadow Diplomacy. It's incredibly insightful. You can find it here:  https://a.co/d/iaWx7VM
