TONIGHT: The show begins in Tehran, the center of chaos and mass murder in the Middle East, in the Red Sea, soon enough in Ukraine, a conversation about the spreading threat with FDD Behnam ben Taleblu. To the Russian Central Bank and the G-7 in search of Russian assets to confiscate in order to finance Ukraine. To Google for (30,000?) layoffs, to Beirut and cheats, to Iran, Jordan, Syria, and to Gaza's Rafah Border Crossing.  To circumnaigating the moon in 1968, to watching Russian wear down Kyiv's air defense.  Much attention to nucear weaons and nuclear energy.
