| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Georgia in the South Caucasus. |
| 0:07.6 | Anatole-Leban is traveling in the mountains above Tbilisi. We discuss the state of Georgia's |
| 0:13.7 | application to NATO, NATO's rotation with Georgia, something I discovered when I was there in 2017 and 2018. |
