Welcome to the electrifying debut episode of Lev Remembers, with hosts Grant Stern and Lev Parnas!
In this inaugural episode, we are joined by the extraordinary Malcolm Nance. As a best-selling author, retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, pundit, and leading intelligence expert, Nance takes us through riveting details about his time fighting against Russian forces in Ukraine, offering an eye-opening journey through international politics and personal transformation.
"My whole career was spent in naval cryptologic intelligence,” Malcolm said. “When I started seeing one of our former principal opponents - the former Soviet Union, now Russia - forming into an invasion force outside of Ukraine, I said there's no way I can sit here and understand this without being on the ground."
Malcolm also draws critical connections between the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, and the broader maneuverings from Iran. "Ukraine is getting fully funded,” he said. “Israel's getting fully funded. And the stakes are now on the table."
Lev takes us through his gripping personal transformation from an insider in Trump’s inner circle to someone imprisoned and then becoming one of Donald’s most outspoken critics. "I did what I was told and kept my mouth shut,” Lev told us. “But not anymore.”
That personal journey drove Lev to publish Shadow Diplomacy: Lev Parnas and his Wild Ride from Brooklyn to Trump’s Inner Circle. Each episode of the show will feature a segment called Storytime with Lev, where Lev will share small excerpts from his book. This premier segment details his firsthand experiences dealing with Ukraine and Russia under Trump's influence, revealing just how far Trump's associates went to manipulate foreign policy for personal gain.
Finally, we wrap up the show with an urgent call to action for our listeners. "Get out there and make a difference,” Lev said. “And I'll be there side-by-side with you to make this difference. We're going to get the truth out, and we're going to unite our country again."
