0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
0:13.5 | So glad you're with us for this very special edition of the three martini lunch. |
0:18.4 | As you know, Jim Garrity was away for a little more than two weeks, |
0:22.6 | went back to Ukraine. This was his third trip to Ukraine. And then while he was over there, |

1:16.3 | operational security. No one can ambush you if they don't know where you're going to be. Also, |
1:20.3 | by the way, Greg, I want to thank you for referring to my team. Like I'm the leader. I have my own dangerous click or A team, and we all have our rogues with our abilities. |
1:29.4 | What does Jim do? |
1:30.1 | He writes a lot. |
1:31.1 | He doesn't have any linguistic skills, doesn't know the ground, doesn't know his way |
