33:44 I just increased my monthly contribution. Before I did so, though, my browser warned me that your site is "suspicious". What are you up to? Hehe
34:23 Bernie Sanders made a statement that amounted to being soft on Putin and that Russia’s interest in NATO’s expansion (if I understand correctly) is reasonable. How do his sympathies with Russia & Putin align with his ideology?
36:13 Yaron why can't I24 news say that Giora Epstein is coming out of retirement ? That might make Russia and Syria stop ...
36:59 Did you say the DOJ leans left and we basically have to accept it? Can you see how perceived flippancy from intellectuals can drive some to populists?
40:47 If the Iranian regime collapses, its replacement no longer supplies to Russia, how are the prospects for a continued war of attrition in Ukraine?

45:57 Hi Yaron, happy new year! I have this question on my mind. Would the world be deterministic if humans/animals etc. disappear?
46:49 I just imagine a next level "battle" between government and tech - and the possibility of some tech disruptors on a centralized digital currency
47:04 how do you think the war in Ukraine will go this year. well once what do you expect to see and how do you think it will impact America as well. thanks
49:05 Putin doesn’t know the actual situation with Ukraine. He has surrounded himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear.
