Good evening. Tonight the show begins with the drone attack of the refineries of the Russian

aggressor. The Ukrainians have put together a fleet and a special division of drones. These are crudely built drones. They look large

and clumsy, propeller driven. Nonetheless, and a slow, I imagine, these are not sleek aerodynamics designed drones. These are like very small

piper planes packed with explosives and incendiarys. And they're attacking the undefended, never thought it would happen, refineries of Russia

across a 1,200 mile or kilometer arc.

The success so far is that the Russian capacity to produce refined oil that would be diesel,

down 11, 12 percent, and the attacks continue.

There is no adequate defense so far. They can't ring these vast

acres of refineries with machine guns. So what is to be done? Well they'll up the grade and go after other logistics.

This is a war of logistics and the threat of missiles is not as nearly as damaging as the threat of drones coming in swarms coming at night,

low to the ground, all the refineries are now at risk.

And then we move on to the question of Tehran, rewarding Tehran for predation.

Richard Goldberg joins to say the Biden administration has transferred more money to Tehran in exchange for a promise not to enrich uranium above 90%.

That's it. Nothing about the Houthis, nothing about Hezbollah, nothing about Hamas.

And a recommendation from Richard Goldberg and his colleague Brad Bowman at the foundation

for the defensive democracies that Israel must create its own defense industrial base.

It cannot depend on others continually.

Producing shells and weapons, the major weapon systems, the F-35s they can purchase, but they

have to have plenty of their own and plenty to sell to make money with arms on the market.

Question in China, a gathering of executives from the U.S. led by Tim Cook and Ray Dahlio,

why, during the same period that China continues to provoke and threaten and

intimidate and bully the Philippines are mutual defense ally, executives are going to Beijing as if there's not a war underway.
