| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Ukraine and then moves to the Arctic Circle, speaking with Anatole-Levin. |
| 0:10.9 | Ukraine no movement in a week. We have in a statement from Keefe that a million Russians are now dead or wounded in the war. |
| 0:19.6 | A tragedy. |
| 0:26.8 | It will take another century to shake off, if it is shaken off. |
| 0:29.9 | The Arctic Circle, more compelling. |
| 0:36.2 | The Arctic Nations, speaking, is one, have expelled Russia, |
| 0:41.3 | post-susbanded Russia, though it's, what, a full third of the Arctic Circle? |

| 1:50.7 | It's fog of war. |
| 1:52.4 | But in any event, I spoke tonight with why they need to go against Iran. |
| 1:58.2 | What the challenge is for Israel in sustaining this campaign, which will take several days. |
| 2:02.6 | It's not a one strike and gone. |
| 2:06.1 | There's indication that the initial strike was a de-cap strike, similar to what happened with Hezbollah, take out the leadership. |
