| 0:00.0 | Good evening. This is John Batchelor, the night before the election of 2024. The show begins in Afghanistan. |
| 0:10.7 | The Taliban terrorist, Syraj Hakani, is profiled in a recent New York Times lengthy piece, probably done earlier this year, |
| 0:19.8 | about Siraj Akane, a mass-murdering Taliban member |
| 0:23.5 | for many years, trained by his father as a homicidal lunatic. Sirajakhani is said to be a bridge |
| 0:33.6 | between the United States and its allies and the Taliban. Bill Rajo and I have a |

| 1:40.4 | since the moment they became a threat to the United States back in the late 20th century. |
| 1:46.3 | Moving on to Ukraine, we speak with Bill Raju and I speak to John Hardy. |
| 1:51.8 | Incremental advances by the Russians along the battlefront. |
| 1:55.8 | The big story is North Korea. |
| 1:57.4 | How many troops? |
| 1:58.2 | What kind of troops? |
| 1:59.0 | When are they joining? |
| 2:00.4 | No confirmation in any direction. But the repeated North Korea, how many troops, what kind of troops, when are they joining? No confirmation in any |
