| 0:00.0 | I'm John Bachelor with my colleague Jonathan Schanser, the Vice President of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy. |
| 0:05.8 | We're talking about what we know, what is possible to imagine in the twin threats issued within these last days by the leaders |
| 0:16.8 | of predatory regimes, the Ayatollah in Tehran, and then we come to Naswala the general secretary of Hezbollah a |
| 0:25.1 | gangster outfit that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of |

| 1:25.4 | ancestors. What's new about Hezbollah or is this the same old same old and we're |
| 1:30.3 | supposed to be scared now? It's a good question, John. |
| 1:34.0 | I mean, I think we should acknowledge that Hezbollah has always |
| 1:38.0 | posed a significant threat to Israel. |
| 1:40.0 | As we've noted before on this program, His ball has been firing on Israel since October 8th, |
