so i said here absolutely i ran is the one that carried out the attacking the ship . i ran aggressive behavior is dangerous, not only for israel, but also hard international interests. the freedom of navigation and the international. luckily for he also said that they have the intelligence evidence proving iran was indeed behind this latest drone attack. however, on foreign ministry spokesman denied any or any involvement, as is usually the case. that as you may call yet, it's not the 1st time design is regime occupying the currency has made such void accusations against the slavic republic of iran, wherever this regime has got. it has taken instability, gene terror and violence. and he went on to say that quote, whoever sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind, and that around will not hesitate. one moment he said, to protect the interests of its people and its national security. we've heard this type of rhetoric before, but what stands out about this particular incident? is the use of attack. drones leading to the question has, are unemployed

a new and even deadlier tackett tactic to attack its enemies? we'll dig into the story coming up. also today, another war continues to rage, the fight against coven, 1900, and the ongoing pandemic. french police clash with protesters in paris against the new cove in 1900 vaccination pass being required in the country. and in germany, thousands of people also march against the vaccination pass there as well. meanwhile, back here in the united states and florida where i live and travel here to dc from florida. once again become the epicenter of the coven, 1900. pandemic. here in the u. s. surpassing its own record number of people hospitalized with cove it as the political fight between the vaccinated and unvaccinated continues. we'll have more details on that story coming up. and speaking of battles, we'll also be talking about the battle going on right now, right here on capitol hill in washington over the massive trillion dollar us infrastructure plan. the infrastructure investment and zach all $2700.00 pages is

part of the bipartisan effort to rebuild america's bridges, roads, and tunnels. will this thing ever get past? we'll have more details and debate with our political panel and john hardy, and this is news views. hughes right here on our t america. we have a lot of news and stories to tackle. so let's get to it. ah . so the dangerous tit for tat, if you will, continues in not only really the war of words, but the proxy war and what's being called the shadow war between is where israel enron, over this latest escalation of violence and the gulf of oman with the attack. as i mentioned on that israeli company, link tanker ships, well british prime minister boars, johnson called the attack in which a british citizen was killed, a quote on acceptable and outrageous attack on commercial shipping. and that

a ron should face consequences. us secretary of state state anthony blank, and also blaming iran, and likewise condemning the attack. so where does it go from here? what's iran strategy with this? so when more on this, this incident, let's bring in former us naval intelligence officer, john jordan, john, great to see you look if anybody knows about these issues, you do. so thanks for coming on. the bottom line here john is really have have traded attacks at sea, you know, numerous times this year alone. and really looking at the timeframe over the last 18 months. israel going after or on, and ships are on targeting israeli win ships. what's the strategy? what's the wrong strategy, though, with this maritime conflict and does are on the use of these, you know, as are called suicide rows represent a dangerous new escalation in warfare or in part in the pond. is iran simply testing the waters? there's 2 parts to this. john,

the 1st part is iran. iranian domestic politics. first of all, they just had a new government sworn in. there's lots of different factions inside around that need to be placated. new regime wants to look tough and they want to look like they've even the score for the incident in the mediterranean a little while ago. so there is a posturing for a local audience and a local political audience inside of iran. that's one part. the other part is they want to carefully calibrate what they do, so that they can satisfy their domestic audiences, send a message to the europeans in the united states and israel that hey, we mean business or were you were serious players. but at the same time, not go so far where they would invite a collapse in, in, in the, in the iran nuclear deal and jeopardize the relaxation of sank sanctions. because that's really the, the end game for iran is economic. so they want to walk a fine line here, look tough, but not overdue it. but at the same time, if they can bait israel in the united states and perhaps into doing something

outrageous, some disproportionate retaliation that would up into ron, can see that as prop sprint benefiting them in the court of european public opinion . and resulting in accelerated release of sanctions. so that's the dance that's being played out. right? yeah. and it's a great point. i was going to bring that up because israel has, you know, really a new prime minister as we know enough tale bennett, who, you know, regardless of what the contention about him becoming prime minister and the political machinations there. but bennett has been a hawk in the past when it comes to iran. he kind of really chose that, that israeli line of the red line of know nuclear armed iran and also israel will continue to protect its borders. and iran, as you were talking about has a new president taking office this week. actually abraham, right. he was really more hard line than his predecessor. a hudson ro, honey, who was being seymour as kind of a moderate figure figure in iran. so, you know,

like you were just talking about, this will certainly impact the response going forward. but it doesn't seem like, you know, like an all branch is going to extend it between either country anytime soon. what having said that though, what do you think if at all the us and british response will be aside from, from the ongoing political rhetoric? will there be a response? will there be a coordinated us israel response? where do you think, you know, the u. s. and the u. k. will just really leave this up to up to israel for the time being you know, this doesn't merit a military response by the u. s. or the u. k. you can really hit the iranians, where they hurt by take by, by you, by using this in the economic realm. i mean, that's where iran is. the iranian regime is really vulnerable. a military response here isn't appropriate. actual probably play into iran hands because it would be probably perceived as being disproportionate and out of whack. so look at that, look at the u. s. u. k, to condemn it verbally and perhaps,

and perhaps take just their position with regard to the iran nuclear revised iran nuclear deal, which doesn't the prospects of which don't look too good right now. but the name of the game here, john for iran is economics and sanctions relaxations, because eventually i'm going to have to give in iran, if iran does not running regime is not able to deliver economically for its people . yeah, and that's a great point. just real quick on the issue of these attack drones. iran has been not only testing the waters but also testing the airspace. it's been able to get some of these drones across the syrian border into israeli airspace. not very long . israel sheets these, these drones down, but is there, do you see an increase in arise ability with these attacks around they use them in saudi arabia, you know, across the border from yemen into saudi arabia. are we going to see more of this? you think? absolutely, this is the, this is the vehicle. well this is the kind of the weapon in the future. and

a lot of ways, drones can be either really expensive and really sophisticated and do some really amazing things. or they can be pretty cheap and easily either defeated or militarily ineffective. you know, in terms of not being able to pack a big punch. but drones like this are inexpensive. there's something that can be fabricated off the shelf technology. and it lends itself to a symmetric warfare where you are able to inflict some damage using an inexpensive, easy to acquire weapons system, potentially against a higher, higher value asset like an oil tanker or potentially a warship if you get really lucky or there's enough of them but look at this is, this is the a symmetric warfare tool of the future, and iran will continue to embrace it. yeah, absolutely. all right, john jordan is always good to see him and thanks for coming on. appreciate it. good and well, demonstrators angry over a new round of coven measure, squared off with riot police across europe and australia. protesters say they're upset that their basic freedoms are being removed by the new restrictions. in some

cases, the demonstrations got so violent. police had to use tear gas and water cannons on a massive crowd, or t correspondent natasha suite brings us the latest developments. the pulleys and we're lind. germany can be seen shoving ended union anti lock down protesters this despite local court, bending multiple protests before the weekend began. we're civilians, we just want our basic rights back and they are the ones armed who are taking action against peaceful civilians. the geneva convention was passed in 1949, and they are trying to make it illegal. well, germany has ease. most of the pendant mac related restrictions since a summer. some remain in place including mandatory math mandate. government officials continue to pressure the public to get back to needed. official se 91000 people have died in germany from covered 19. and in france and 14000 protesters to the streets to show their opposition against the coven path. 10 people were reportedly arrested and 3 we've officers were injured according to paris officials,

the concept of lockdown. mandatory vaccination has some locals fury and i'm here to defend freedom of speech because mr. mccomb was trying to stay for any kind of public speech with a pseudo privilege called the sanitary pass, which is in fact, the way to control people. more than 3000 police officers over cell 4 different protests, no difference capital on saturday. last week, french authorities rolled out a new cobra, 1900 help pass, and then a search in infections. as of july 21st, people are required to show proof of vaccination or a negative test result to attend spurts matches, and to visit cultural venues. i'm not anti vaccine. i also did not get the job. i disagree with the sanitary pass to have to show your credentials each time. they also want to apply this to children when they get back to school in order to impose the vaccine on them. i don't agree with that. thousands in rome also take into the st. saturday against the coated green pass. without the green pass, we cannot work. whoever has been vaccinated will go against the vaccinate law,

would require italian residents to have a pass showing proof of vaccination recovery from the virus or a negative corona virus test. in order to access public spaces, restaurants, museums, and theaters starting august 6. most of the many people compare it to what was done to the jew. indeed, more or less, we are talking about the same thing. it is in a way through which big science wants to have power over people. that's how it was done. it isn't that discrimination on water cannons and tear gas were deployed on protesters challenging vaccine mandates. in athens, you legislation submitted by the greek government is set to examination. mandatory for employees for nursing homes occur. few has been announced on the island of making a popular tourism hotspot. almost half of the country's population 4690000 had been fully vaccinated in australia, thousands of anti locked down. protesters march through melbourne, central business district on saturday. the city is still under stay at home, orders. the 5th lockdown since the pandemic again. now melbourne's lockdown is set

to be lifted tuesday, but locals made it clear they were extremely frustrated with the repeated stay at home, orders reporting for new cues and pasha sweets, r t. well, florida recorded the highest number of cove in 1900 infection since the pandemic started with more than 21000 new cases, amounting to listen to this 20 percent of new cove in 1900 infections in the united states. this as a political divide continues over mass guidelines. 5 and those who are vaccinated and those people unvaccinated, as the more infectious delta various continues to spread. with more on this, i'm joined now by dr. bob or not doctor, i appreciate you. come on, i guess. let me tell you, man, i oh ok questions. and the delta variance look, i don't want to get to political here, but there continues, i'm sure, you know, there's to be the political debate over, you know, people who are vaccinated people who are non vaccinated in this country. people are non vaccinated. various reasons. i have friends, you say, well it's, you know,

they kind of buy into that whole, you know, the, the whole big pharma that this is just a scheme by big farm and to make money, or that this trust of the, of the federal government, the bottom line is this though, it seems while the numbers are fluid, what we're seeing is that the majority of people that are hospitalized right now who are severely and critically ill. are the people who are unvaccinated? am i wrong on this? and why is it important for people to be vaccinated against this, this virus, and now with the delta vary sh john? unfortunately, legion numbers is stories and people say can you give me the lie on there? you know, i see sophisticated. ringback watson, ange, it's roughly linking us news. frank hyacinth, massachusetts,

connecticut. they are elias vaccination city and saw our manage an example new server yesterday. so regardless of your plan, if you are college graduates, you are much more on here. see for your college gradually. well educated means you can watch, you know, like your time washington post wonderful. worldwide. new sources make up their own much. now. ringback much lower. busy injures education, those who are not college graduates. where the information from from situation sources where to get information from and the tragedy is it, you can get political here to get answers to florence or the receipt.

and unfortunately, they're also even churches who are promoting the anti backs idea of political power. that is cos, florida? $39000.00. i think it's touchable. yeah, absolutely. and speaking of influencers, the white house has now reached out to social media influencers, particularly, you know, young people, teenagers, and those folks in their twenties to try to influence people to get the vaccination . i mean, that's how di or the situation is among those who are misinformed. when i talk to people who refused to get the vaccine, including a friend of mine who now has a delta various and now he wants to get vaccinated. you know, they can't provide the information it there, so misinform that said, let, let's real, real quick, let's shift to the break through so called breakthrough infections. we've been hearing a lot about this for of all what is this infection and should those of us like

myself, my wife, my mother, who 78 years old, who is visiting, who's in miami right now with my wife helping to care for our 3 year old daughter, should we be concerned about the breakthrough infections and the delta various 100. 35000 break infections? 60000000. so accidents, you know, like you cdc, nation major alondra and the government. when they said july, it's like when they always said that you say why you see really know what those are backs and they can transfer to virus and that they just couldn't. now we know that the viral load from those fascinated individuals are just as high vaccinate is that they are a threat to the people like your, your mom, an age 70, a may not have a level of antibodies that she just why recur,

consider israel like now getting shot, not deferred or official here you have to consider if you're over interests. yeah. and the question is when will booster shots if it will be available here in the united states? that's for another time, the other discussion, dr. bob or not. i appreciate you. i, i could talk about this all day with you, but we gotta leave it there. thank you sir. i appreciate right, well coming up infrastructure is the debate once again raging right now, literally as we speak on capitol hill, but this time there's a bill to read all 2700 pages of it. try reading that before that we'll have more details with our political panel spread out the the the news

long when i was the wrong when i was just don't move out date because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, depart. we choose to look for common ground the know what would you do me the good them and by the mother i can while we're on by now i was and i know i should know moment the new york on mon tesla

bills on my like the one and then that will allow you to go for have an initiation and with much i look at it. i bit off more than 100 people in the no, i mean, i mean i saw it and they went out on my in my name is the so the us senate is debating the trillion dollar infrastructure deal. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell saying democrats should not create a quote unquote artificial timeline with its approval. and that republicans one to

offer a potential changes though adding the deal was a good and important jumping off point. what was more on this? let's bring in our political panel. david catches a former, you assistant us attorney, and tom norton is the president of the michigan conservative union and a small business owner. gentlemen, welcome to you. thanks for coming on, david. and let's start with you. you know, the senate, the senate goes on summer break, august 9th, and i don't know, maybe it's just me, but it sounds like what senate majority leader mcconnell is saying is that this may not get done by then. what do you think is this accurate or do you think they'll, they'll agree on something by the 9th. well, john, i think it may not get done by then, but i think that it will get done. this is really a major stepping stone where the center has a will this country not the far right, not the far left, but the center and as decided, let's do something about potholes. let's do something about broadband. let's do

something about the urgently needed infrastructure that this country needs. and so i think that this trillion dollar bill is going to go through. and as to the progressives who say that they're going to put the kibosh on it, this is a trillion dollars that's going to go to good projects, much needed around the country. and i think you'd have to be a nile is to be against it. and if the progressives try to to but i think they'll be moderate republicans in the household both for it. so i think this is going to become law. if not by the beginning of august, i think it will be by the end of august. yeah, look, i think we all agree america's infrastructure definitely needs improvements. i mean, china's so far ahead when it comes to improving infrastructure. but tom, i want to shift to you, you know, whether you live in michigan, california, florida, like myself. i mean, like i said, every state needs improvement. what is this bill as so often the case on capitol hill where these bills, they get bigger and bigger and bigger until they're that it's a cow with all the pork thrown in it. do you think that could happen with this bill?

is, is it in danger of getting too much too much pork thrown into it? well, it's a federal government. there's going to be too much for going to begin with. i mean, that's the one thing that i think the only thing we all agree on, the federal government is going to bring on the bank and the biggest problem with bills like this and you're talking about 2000000000. we can all agree that we need to infrastructure improvements, but that really is up to the state of federal highways and the few other projects reserve in the us constitution. at 2 trillion dollars, you can only print so much money right now. i'm pretty certain see inflation hyper ring. you can only print money for so long when it's not backed by any thing and expect it not to wrong. mark my words, they passed the equations going to skyrocket even further. that i'm opposed to structure, but we need to start living within our means of the problem is we're not doing very much different. agree that people seem to understand david about half the bills

overall price tag is, is new federal spending with the rest coming from existing and plan projects? what are some of the, in your view, the potential sticking points moving forward? well, i think that this bill, this one is about $900000000000.00. i think this one's going to go through. i think the country needs it. and as to what your other gas says, it would be nice if the states could pay for this stuff. but it's just too much money to, to repair the roads and the bridges, the broadband, the water works of the rail, all of this kind of stuff. it's too much for the states to pay for. so that's why i think about a dozen of the 50 republican senators are 4th. now, the big thing that everyone's worried about, and i think the thing that people are worried about for inflation is the next bill . the one that the democrats have in mind to do by reconciliation. that would be over 3 trillion dollars. and that does present real risks if it went through of, you know, of inflation. and of course,

a lot of older people retired people who both democratic are going to be hurt by inflation too. and so that's why biden, who's a centrist, i think, is trying to make sure that this does not lead to too much inflation, because everyone would be hurt by that. but especially older and retired people who vote democratic tom. we have about 30 seconds. i'll let you get the last word. do you agree with david on that? no, i think that we have to put a cap. i'm spending at some point. i thought my wife and we got married, but bush present or we can only print money for so long. and when obama was president, we can rent money for so long and, and even front printed a lot of money and eventually inflation. and no, i didn't get printing money and now inflation is hitting its way to average americans. there's nothing central about this. go ahead and pass into our bill. you'll see american start seeing feelings they're parking, but when they start continuing, so gas pay bills or right even pay your internet utility now. well, there's going to be much more on this. i'm sure david catch tom norton. thank you

gentlemen. we'll leave it there for now. appreciate it. re, to be with you. well, tennis is back in washington, d. c is the city open gets underway. ortiz virginia. hamid's in rock creek park with the details, and the big names fans are hoping to see that for john, it is the 52nd edition of the city open right here, tennis in our nation's capital. now, early in the before time, the w t a n a t t both held their tournaments here. well for the 1st time in a decade the devotee opted not to run one to said having one in pulling. but if you're a fan of, when the scientists don't fear kobuck will make an appearance here, along with the ladies. any exhibition match later in the week. now on the side of course, there is one name, one name only. you have to know and that name is raphael, and the dominant off the number one sees you never played in d. c at the city opened before coming off, missing at the clay court season as well as the olympics. now he's going to be some stiff competition number to see if you're obviously it is one of the favorites to

take it all after having a successful season on clay court. now, new curacy, $21900.00 champion, is also a heavy favorite and the fan favorite for his on and off the court antics. and it is anybody's match here. of course, fans seen the doll succeed. he plays later this week, but at this point they're, they're just glad to be back here. glad to have 10. and john, it is an exciting time for everybody here at the city up and back to you. thanks regina. well, that's all the time we have for today's show, but for the show and more be sure to download a portable tv app for your apple or android device for now say for watching and see against him. ah ah ah,

in the old days before breaks it because the u. k was attached to the e u. they could do it. other countries do, which is to take all their debts and dump it into this giant shadow banking system that covers the world's largest trading block. and you could kind of buy some time there because the e. c, b is printing and buying and monetizing debt by the trillion, christine the garden, literally just buying trillions and trying to the garbage debt. but now post breakfast, they don't have that way to wash the debts into the greater you laundromat. and so that is going to be the 1st time post break. the debts are going to start to cause a lot of pain. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, accept where's the short or conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we

should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with demon a robot must protect its own existence with the look of off the field. what was to, can you through that

actually use them shape which is to build me up with your budget that i would continue to tell you with a dinner, each famous from a cut up by book in the i lose

me. the millions of cash dropped american face and being kicked out of their homes as congress is failed to extend a coven link to moratorium on eviction. the protesters, furious and tightening covered measures and mandatory health passes raleigh across western europe, where the number of infections is still on the rise of europe, rages against restrictions called the cases in the us increase and 6 fold in july. when politicians have been sending mixed messages about how to deal with the pandemic, leaving many confused very much for the political choices involved in it. i just.
