0:00.0	Good evening. This is John Bachelor. The show begins tonight along the Lebanon-Israel border.
0:07.0	Hezbollah has fired 215 rockets at day's
0:13.6	aggression doesn't need a response.
0:15.3	Israel, however, has not yet decided I learned from David Aune to respond.
0:20.3	And then the show moves to Moscow. The Moscow Exchange where you take your rubles and
