| 0:00.0 | Good evening. This is John Batchelor. Tonight the show begins in Hiroshima, asking the question, |
| 0:07.0 | did the people who targeted Hiroshima and Nagasaki know about radiation? |
| 0:12.0 | Did the people, leaders in the US government, |
| 0:15.0 | know about the terror weapon that it would be to civilian population. |
| 0:20.0 | Did the targeting committee appreciate this wasn't destroying factories and factory workers? |
| 0:28.4 | This was destroying a culture damaging the culture permanently, including the survivors who were shunned the |

| 1:32.0 | Hezbollah is a terror weapon. Hezbollah is a terror organization threatening to attack Israel. |
| 1:38.6 | Iran threatening to attack Israel. |
| 1:40.9 | Why was Suigu, Sergei Shoygu, the National Security |
| 1:44.4 | Advisor, right hand or a left-hand man to Vladimir Putin? Why was he in Tehran? |
| 1:49.2 | Unknown. Not positive. Synemois. unknown. |
| 1:52.6 | Not positive. |
| 1:54.1 | Sinwar, the last remaining chief, who ordered the October 7th. |
