| 0:12.0 | For Ukraine conflict, I welcome Bradley Bowman of the foundation for the defensive |
| 0:16.0 | democracies to help me sort through these headlines, going in many directions |
| 0:20.0 | all about the war continuing. Brought a very good even to you. I read from |
| 0:24.0 | London reporting. Netherlands and Denmark to send dozens of |
