0:00.0	Good evening. The show begins with the conversation about the two-part war, the twin war, the
0:08.5	split-screen war, the war in Europe continuing within adequate resources, Mr. Zelensky and Brussels,
0:15.8	pleading for money and more weapons and more ammo. Without adequate air defenses,
0:22.4	the winter will be chaos and ruin in Ukraine. The Russians have plenty, plenty of missiles
0:30.5	and they're making more. We then mention with Mary Kissel she and Putin and their
0:39.5	conduct, which is very difficult to summarize other than it's unacceptable. The idea that Mr. Putin
0:48.8	can sit down with Mr. Biden and resolve anything in San Francisco at the OPEC meeting as far
0:54.1	fetched. A conversation with Jonathan Schanzer, the intelligence failure evident on October 7th,
1:02.7	much in the way of renewing this debate that was left over from the 9-11 intelligence failure.
1:10.7	Jonathan points to that is the best analogy he can think right now. I mentioned Pearl Harbor
1:17.0	only because Pearl Harbor was a story where the US believed Japan was going to attack in some time
1:26.6	frame November December, but they thought the attack would be against the Philippines or perhaps
1:32.3	Singapore, Malaysia. It did not anticipate Hawaii. That is not dissimilar to what we're seeing here.
1:39.6	Israel always knew that Hamas was capable of attacking, not at this scale and not into Israel.
1:48.0	More to turn over on that subject for a long time. Hamas as using weapons made in China,
1:56.4	using weapons made in North Korea, which is sponsored by China. What does that mean for
2:02.8	Iran's capability, his ballads capability, China and Russia? Days ahead to discover that, but it'll
2:09.5	be part of the conversation. Then Michael Bernstom talking about the GDP growth in Russia,
2:16.2	Russia's boasting that it's going to grow one, one, two, 1.2 percent in 24. Why? Because it's
2:23.5	poured a third of its budget into emissions, armaments, defense industry. As Michael Bernstom says,
2:31.1	defense gives you GDP, but it doesn't give you money. It's nothing for the economy left. It's
2:36.8	no prosperity. You have to pay for it. It doesn't make money. Then on to a conversation, a brief touch
