GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Iran's neighboring countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Baluchistan, and Kurdistan, asking about relations with Tehran. We then move to Columbia University and Yale University campuses for demonstrations with antisemitic messages. Next, we go to Ukraine's front line, where troops await weapons and ammunition, and then to Kyiv and the Rada for a vote on mobilization and demobilization (which has not yet occurred). We explore what could have been Israel's counterstrike, with John Bolton suggesting striking suspected nuclear weapons facilities. We then shift focus to East Asia and the alliance against the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). From there, we travel to Caracas, Quito, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Bogota. Finally, we discuss the PLA Aerospace Force, a combat command focusing on orbit and the moon.
