The propaganda that comes from israel in the United States, that the iranians are the only side within the nuclear deal that has been abiding by their commitments. The iranians were abiding by their commitments when the american left, the american stuff that you know, even now, the iranians are still abiding by a roughly one 3rd of their commitments, depending on how you calculate it. Yet the United States and europeans are not abiding by any of them. And while the iranians are still abiding by their commitments and the i. A. E. A. Is in iran, this for scientists was murdered. So the i. A. E. A. Has not been claiming that iran is producing a weapon. Yet he was murdered. So the issue is not nuclear weapons. It is a provocation just as your previous guests rightly pointed out. The Israeli Regime is looking for a provocation to bring about war in this region. Because for them, it is not the interest of the United States or europe or the region. It is their own interest, just like it is in their interest to subjugate the palestinian people. But the point is that the iranians will retaliate because the only way to prevent the Israeli Regime from carrying out further attacks is for their Israeli Regime to pay a price. So the iranians will punish the americans by decreasing cooperation with i. E. They were punished Israeli Regime by striking back. And if the United States is smart, what they will do is they will rein in the Israeli Regime and prove, prevent them from doing something stupid, which would make them pay a very heavy price. While i appreciate the saudis have very difficult issue, we will of course be watching how it all plays out. I appreciate all 3 of you coming on and giving your insight. That was said, mohammad marandi, professor and oriental, has nothing for us to tear on jason polman, a former Israeli Government, pfizer. And of course for us to many thanks. Well thats it for this hour. Ill be back at the top. I have confess that i think financialization has its limits. The accounting tricks of stock buybacks in money printing have their lives and in saudi arabia. We see a brilliant example of what happens when a country decides to go into financialization. Instead of, lets say diversifying into actual productive economic activity. Greetings and salutation with black friday in the books and cyber monday resoundingly success. The Holiday Shopping season is in full swing here in the United States and around the world. And while holiday shoppers, the world over probably found a sale or 2 or 3 fill their bill, it was without a doubt the military Industrial Complex, their political bagmen on capitol hill and their talking head cheerleaders. Who came away with the biggest black friday prize of the day. And that gift came in the assassination of leading a rainy and Nuclear Scientists, most in which has now left many around the world, bracing themselves for the possibility of a brand new middle eastern war to kick off. The new year was ambushed in this car while driving in a district just east of the capital city of toronto on friday. And according to the secretary of the Supreme NationalSecurity Council of iran, 2 star general ali, the operation was very complex and took place using electronic devices. And no one was present at the scene. The technological expertise to legit in the assassination has led many iranian leaders and experts in middle Eastern Affairs to believe that the Israeli Government may have been behind the assassination trita parsi of the Quincy Institute for responsible state craft observed that israel is a prime suspect because of a few factors, it has the expertise and the capacity and has done it before. And it has the motivation. But its not just the Israeli Government too is catching allegations in the wake of this is sas nation. Simon tisdale speculates in the guardian that quote, donald trump in cahoots with hard line, israeli and saudi allies may be trying to lure the turan regime into an all out confrontation in the dying days of his presidency. So while many have been lamenting the fact that us President Donald Trump was the 1st us president. And i cant even remember how long to not start a brand new war or conflict during his term. Just remember that there are still a whole lot of shopping days left between today and january 20th for him to start one. So lets start watching. If you want to know whats going on on a cd, you streets, you want to see yourself see the prices you always stay. Ill see you always great seeing slaves. Systemic deception is the late show which so brings up the job as well when watching the winter. And joining us today to discuss the latest on a potential ramp up to war with iran is the former Senior Security policy analyst in the office, secretary of defense, the one and only Michael Maloof and investigative historian and journalist on the match and security state. The always great girth order. Thank you both gentlemen for coming on with us today. To do so, michael, ill start with you. What is the significance of this assassination for the mission of iran . And this is not the 1st time weve seen Iranian Nuclear scientists assassinated in recent years. Is it . No, its not. And theres been about 4 or 5 others prior. I think for iran, it shows 1st of all vulnerability. And i think that a lot of this was probably not only israeli instigated, but also part of an inside use an enemy k. Or even kurdish officials. Because after all, you know, israel has a base up and up in the North Eastern part of syria in the kurdish controlled area. And theres a lot of kurds in iran. However, this is significant because of a limit. Clearly, it means that iran has very little taste for dealing with the west and, and certainly now with the, by the administration. And i think that that was actually the motive. What given this time period in this limited time period, if he couldnt get the United States to initiate attack and attack, at least he could get that lay the groundwork so that the climate and the foundation for any future discussions and, and recrossed moment with the iranians particularly by the, by the administration toward a trying to renew, for example, the jason p. O, a or the Iranian Nuclear agreement, which just just wouldnt happen. And i think you may have succeeded this, assassination comes just a week or so after u. S. , secretary of state might pump a pail over solly, highly secretive meeting between israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, and Saudi Crown Prince mohammed, bin top. Tell me, do you believe these events are connected and what do you believe is behind the timing of this assassination . Politically . First of all, its very difficult to believe that there was no connection. Clearly when youre pope a, netanyahu and m. B. s all in one room. There is going to be a discussion of the question of how to provoke iran, which is what certainly, peo, and netanyahu have been working on a situationally for the last year and a half. So i have no doubt that that was being discussed and but that is indeed the intention of the israelis in carrying out this assassination. And they will or will take some action that will allow the u. S. Government, which will allow people in the u. S. Government to somehow prevail upon these pump. Aoe basically to prevail upon trump, to be somehow aggressive militarily against iran, to carry out some sort of military activity, which would then set in motion some escalation. I personally dont think thats going to happen. Primarily because pump aoe has tried at least twice during the Trump Administration to do precisely that in situations which are far more fraught with regard to u. S. Perceptions of threat or, or challenge then this situation. And so i dont think that trump is going to be responsive to any effort to get him to do that. And even if trump were responsive, i can tell you that the u. S. Military is dead set against any use of force against iran under these sorts of circumstances. I want to ask you this character that do you think that these kind of chains of events and why, why this is happening now . Do you think this is something being, you know, pushed forward in order to kind of lay the table for the next administration to raise the bar . I mean, i know i know that joe biden has kind of come in at least saying that he wants to relook at the nucular deal and bring that back. But that doesnt change the hardliners in this country and the military Industrial Complex who wants to see more war in the middle east, especially with iran. Could this be laying the table for that to come for the joe biden ministration to give us reasons as to why he would, might try to kick up a war with iran . Im not sure that it involves the notion that the by the administration is at all likely to take the bait for a war against iran. But i do believe that the israeli calculus is certainly about the thought that they could manipulate a new biden ministration off politically in a way that would make it far more difficult to reach some kind of intent with near 0 to give them that they are probably right, that they can manipulate, they have very strong friends who are already in the key National Security positions in the state department and in the National Security council to the actual security advisor to biden. These are people who are going to be listening to what this rate is up to say. And on top of that, or underneath that perhaps more precisely, the israelis have already manipulated opinion in the United States and elite opinion in the United States by being able to purse for a this assassination as being something that was taking out the leading Nuclear Scientist in iran and i noticed that r. T. Itself has fallen for that manipulation and its, theres absolutely no reason to believe that that he in fact was a leading Nuclear Scientist. And probably he was not a Nuclear Scientist at all. That was not his background. And i think one of the ways in which the israelis have succeeded successfully have been if you waited the entire world politically, is that they were able to portray a fuck riza day as being somebody who was involved in a set of activities that the u. S. Government u. S. Intelligence people were involved in that is the, the portrayal of a, an effort by the iranians to obtain the technologies that they needed to enrich uranium. This was back in the early 1990 s. And they managed to portray crees a day as being in charge of that by saying that he was at the instance the institution that they were holding the Us Intelligence people were holding accountable. The fact is, he was not at all involved in that institution, and this was proven later on by the iranians in their documentation. Thats what its not. And all you can hear that is absolutely fascinating. And you know, michael, what is the best course of action for iran right now . Is there any option that keeps going from providing more excuses for 30, arabiya israel and the us to ramp up tension by i think theyre going to be much more strategic in their thinking. They may not do something immediately. I think that they, they will probably hunker down and continue on their course, working more toward an alternative world order, working more with russia and china. They will, they will try to become much more selfsufficient. So sustaining internally and build up their own industries, but they have no stomach right now in dealing with the west or for that matter for much of the e. U. For that because of the because they basically let the basically let iran down a lever of what i am really concerned about is that netanyahu for 4 months has tried to get the United States to take the initiative, and in an attack on iran has failed. And what were seeing now is netanyahu basically developing bases not only in azerbaijan, because of the military assistance is given, does it. But also into the u. A. E. With this socalled normalization approach, he wants bases in both of those countries. Which thing gives him a forward force projection to launch and initiate his own attacks in the future because hes absolutely made it a red line that iran will not be able to do a Nuclear Program allegedly toward nuclear weapons. And i think that this is something weve got to be really concerned about and sensed by and comes from the Obama Biden Administration in terms of leading from behind. Theyre not going to have any control over who now who is made that very, very clear why i want to thank you both for coming on and then lightning our audience today, and really making us think and give us some good information. Once again, Michael Maloof, always a pleasure having you both. Thank you so much gentlemen. Thank you. All right, as were going to break, remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand with a brand new portable t. V. Which is available on all platforms. Would definitely pick it up coming up. Were going to delve into the latest on the rising covert numbers here in the u. S. And canada. And then we break down the chaos and confusion surrounding the pandemic lockdown regulations and how confusing they can be. Stay tuned to watch from the hawks join me on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics. Im showbusiness. Ill see you then. All i saw on t. V. 1st. If youre born into a poor family, if youre born in minority family, if youre born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life, chances people die on average, 15 years old.

After a few busy weeks, days of travel surrounding thanksgiving. Many experts are worried that infection numbers may from a sharp rise, as was the case in canada just a few weeks ago. After that country celebrated the same holiday parties. Alex hell of it as the story. As thousands of americans took to the sky, this thanksgiving travel season was like no other. Its still a little scary, but you know, we try to sanitize a lot like use Hand Sanitizer as much as we can. And we just keep our masks on pretty much the whole time. Even with the 2nd wave of the coronavirus in full swing. More people jump on board planes that any other day since mid march. According to the t. S. A. 1170000, people traveled by air in the u. S. On sunday alone, loss of flyers, but a big drop from the same day in 2019 when 2900000 people were screened by the t. S. A. The reason many chose to stay put states giving is obvious, namely, the corona virus pandemic. Us officials warned against travel over the holiday. This after seeing a dramatic jump in covert 1000. 00 cases north of the border in canada. Canadian, celebrated thanksgiving a month and a half ago, and since then, the nation of 37000000 has seen its daily coronavirus case count, nearly triple. According to the Public Health agency of canada, the number of infections has gone up from 2000 new cases a day in mid october to around 5500. 00 a day with few canadians flying to get their turkey dinner. Many are blaming the festive gatherings themselves and not travel for the surge. If the current trend continues Public Health officials in canada say that the country could see up 260000 new cases of covert 1000. 00 per day, by the end of december. In the states, a search like canadas would likely take the country over the edge. Currently, the us is seeing approximately 200000. 00 new infections a day. With the current trends, christmas will likely be very different this year in both the u. S. And canada. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccines are being fast tracked to combat the virus. And one of the front runners from pharmaceutical giant, what derren inc, has joined the list, asking for emergency approval in the u. S. And other countries. The vaccine is expected to be highly effective at preventing symptomatic disease and very effective at preventing severe outcomes from the disease. In fact, moderna claims their product is over 94 percent effective. The other vaccine in the running for fast track approval comes from pfizer and its german partner beyond tac. While pfizers vaccine will be the 1st, the u. S. Looks out for fast track approval. Canada is set to become the 1st country to clear modernise covered 1000. 00 vaccine. The boston based biotech has a deal with canada for 20000000 doses of its vaccine with the option to procure i didnt. Dish will 36000000. The u. S. Is also on the list with 500000000 doses secured. And the u. K. And European Union have agreements with, but theyre not as well. While hopes for the release of an effective vaccine are high. Many continue to be concerned about the possible ramifications from a relatively new inoculation. But according to berna, based on what theyve seen so far, there is little to be worried about, in terms of significant safety concerns, serious threats to our health. Weve not seen any such concerns to date. Of course, we continue to monitor and well continue to monitor all those safety is a top of mind. Like with the other shots, one major question remains with more down as covert 90
