Summary

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Moscow, asking what will be acceptable terms of victory. To NATO and the choice of leadership -- perhaps from the Eastern Wing. To the FISA Court in DC for reforms to avoid the Russiagate abuse. To TSMC on Taiwan, asking if it can be reproduced in Arizona. To the White House, where they worry about inflation despite being the cause of the spending that drives inflation. To Normandy 1944, asking if the younger Americans know the history of 1944. To NPR and praise of yesteryear. To Manhattan and the Trump trial, to SCOTUS and the "obstruction" charge for January 6. To Iran and a measure of the arsenal. To Ottawa, to Tax Day, to Brasilia, to Vostochny.
