| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Ukraine, speaking with colleague Jeff McCausen, |
| 0:08.9 | United States Army retired, CBS News, about the various wars that do not end. We begin in Ukraine, |
| 0:16.7 | but we immediately recall 50 years since the U.S. ran, fled, evacuated Saigon, the crash of the |
| 0:27.8 | NLF and its allies, kindred of Kane, Moscow, and Beijing, through the gates of Saigon. |
| 0:36.7 | The iconic image is on top of the American embassy |
| 0:40.1 | with one helicopter waiting for a ladder full of people |

| 1:46.1 | Talk. Talk. |
| 1:48.5 | Judy Dempsey joins from Berlin. We talk about the new government Friedrich Meritz, the Chancellor, |
| 1:54.8 | within days, forming a CDU, that's the right of center government, in combination with the |
| 2:00.8 | SPD, that's left of center. |
| 2:03.2 | There'll be some confusion, but Germany must lead Europe, especially because of the strong |
| 2:09.6 | indication of the U.S. is stepping back from NATO. Maybe completely leave the room, maybe just sit in the back. |
