UnFiltered 003 | Rumble in the Oval - Trump, Zelensky, and Vance

Buckle up, folks! In this wild episode of Unfiltered, Meseidy and Rachel dive headfirst into the geopolitical chaos that erupted in the Oval Office when Ukrainian President Zelensky and President Trump went toe-to-toe. From Trump’s patience finally snapping to JD Vance’s unexpectedly savage VP energy, this episode has it all—diplomatic drama, spicy side-eye, and the ultimate "no soup for you" moment as Zelensky got booted from the White House (and the staff literally ate his lunch). We down the entire 50-minute meeting, exposing the layers of snark, strategy, and missed opportunities, while speculating on whether the mineral deal will ever get signed.

Plus, Rachel shares why parenting teenagers might actually be the best training for global diplomacy. Tune in for all the unfiltered truth, wit, and a dash of chancleta energy!
