is old pass the liberty of tennessee of beaches of contempt of court, of come from the mainstream media. so this idea that if you are in the mainstream media, you are somehow absolutely christine and panic. but if you're a blogger, or somebody who's not in the mainstream media, then you are a danger, has no substance or credibility as things which time. cuz that's how it looks so far from moscow. this tuesday, august, the 3rd i'm calling bright back here with the next update after we've checked in with scotty now he's in washington. the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very political time. time to sit down and talk me the me ah, everybody on john, how do you feel in for scott, email hughes? we begin today with the latest on that tanker ship attack in the gulf of home on van v. mercer street operated by an israeli company was hit by a suspected drone attack off the coast of oman, british national and a romanian citizen, were, were both killed israeli prime minister, natalie bennett, blamed her on shall not be shot. i have now heard that i ran in a cowardly manner, trying to avoid responsibility for the event. they are denying me because i see 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 li friend. 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 iranian involvement, as is usually the case. as you may recall, yet, it's not the 1st time design is regime occupying the currency has made such void accusations against the islamic 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 are on will not hesitate. one moment he said to protect the interests of its able, at it's 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 iran employed 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 19 and the ongoing pandemic . french police clashed with protesters in paris against the new coban, 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 cove in 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. love 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 jobs at 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 on 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 mine with the attack. as i mentioned on that israeli company link tanker ship, british prime minister boars, johnson called the attack in which a british citizen was killed, a quote, unacceptable 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 the wrong 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 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 on in ships or on targeting israeli win ships? what's the strategy? what's her on strategy though with this maritime conflict? and does her on use of these, you know, as are called suicide. drones represent a dangerous new escalation in warfare or in part in the pond. is iran simply testing the waters the 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 of iran 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 tier ron. 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 we're, we're 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 relax 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 is really the united states and perhaps into doing something outrageous,

some disproportionate retaliation that would go into iran. can see that as props. but 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 you know, 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, you know, the israeli line of the red line of no nuclear, you know, are under, on, 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 racy is really more hard line than his predecessor hudson ro, honey, who was being see more of 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, or do you think, you know, the u. s. and the new cable just really leave this up to up to israel for the time being you know, this doesn't merit a military response by the us 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 the play in the wrong hands because it would be probably perceive as being disproportionate and out of whack. so look at them, look at the u. s. u. k, to condemn it verbally and perhaps, and perhaps to take just their position with regard to the iran nuclear revised

iran nuclear deal, which doesn't the prospects in which don't look too good right now. but the name of the game here, john for iran in economics and sanctions relaxations together eventually. so i'm going to have to give in iran, if iran does not, if you're running machine is not able to deliver economically for 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 aerospace, 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 used them in saudi arabia, you know, across the border from yemen. it's a saudi arabia. are we going to see more of this? you think? absolutely, this is the, this is the vehicle, 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 an easily either defeated or militarily ineffective. you know, in terms of not be 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 worship. if you get really lucky or there's enough of them, but look at there, 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. man, thanks for coming on. appreciate it. good inside. well, demonstrators angry for 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

the massive crowds or t correspondent natasha suite brings us the latest developments. the police and berlin germany can be seen shoving, entertaining anti lock down protesters this despite local court, bending multiple protests before the weekend began. i go, 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 eased most of the pandemic related restrictions since the summer summer main 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 colbert 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 police officers were injured. according to paris officials, the concept of locked downs mandatory vaccinations has some locals furious. i'm

here to defend the freedom of speech because mr. mac chrome is trying to stay for any kind of public speech with a pseudo privilege called the sanitary pass, which is in fact, a way to control people. more than 3000 police officers over cell 4 different protest, 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 sports 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 thousands in rome also taken to the st saturday against the cobra green path. without the green path. we cannot work. whoever has been vaccinated will go against the 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 faces, restaurant museum and theater starting august 6. most of the many people compared to what was done to the g. indeed, more or less, we are talking about the same thing. it is in a way through which makes science wants to have power over people. that's how it was done. it is in fact discrimination on water cannons and tear gas were deployed on protesters challenging vaccine mandates. in athens, new legislation submitted by the greek government is set to make vaccination. mandatory for employees for nursing homes occur. few has been announced on the island of making a popular tourism hot spot. almost half of the country's population 4690000 had been fully vaccinated in australia, thousands of anti lockdown protesters march through melbourne central business district on saturday. the city is still under stay at home, orders. the 5th walk down. since the panoramic began. now melbourne's lockdown is to be lifted tuesday, but local made it clear. they were extremely frustrated with the repeated stay at

home, orders. reporting for news you cues and 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 and those who are vaccinated and those people unvaccinated, as a more infectious delta various continues to spread. with more on this, i'm joined now by dr. bob aren't on dr. 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 can news, 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 buying that whole, you know, the, the whole, you know,

big pharma that this is just a scheme by big farm and 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, the numbers are stories and people say, can you give me the lie on their you know, i see sophisticated view. ringback watson age is roughly linking to educate you our news, frank. highest insurance meditation, massachusetts connecticut elias vaccination

city. saw our manage an example. very new sir. regardless of your plan. if you are college graduates, you are much more actually on here for your college gradually. well educated means you can watch, you know. ready like yours trying to washington post wonderful worldwide news sources around my networks. ringback pay lower. busy injures medication, those who are not where did they get information from, for my 1st situation sources. so where did they get from ation from in the tragedy as you can get political here to get answers and influence or to the

risk patients. and unfortunately, there are also other churches were 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. and when i talk to people who refused to get the vaccine, including a friend of mine who now has a delta varian, and now he wants to get vaccinated. you know, they can't provide the information, it's there, so misinform that said, let's real, real quick. let's shift to the break through so called breakthrough infections. we've been hearing a lot about this, 1st of all, what is this infection? and should those of us, like myself, my wife, my mother, who's 78 years old,

who's visiting, you know, 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 135000 infections? 60000000. so accidents, you know, like, you know, the cdc nation major alondra and the government generally said on july it's like when the new delhi said that you say why you really know what those were back and they could transfer to virus and that they just couldn't. now we know that the viral load from those fascinated individuals are just as high it is that they are a threat to the man or people like your mom. you know, your mom a 70 a may not have a level of antibodies that she just why courage consider

israel now getting shot for official here you have to consider if you're compromise over interests. yeah. and the question is, when will booster shot 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 got to 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 capital 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

know what we've done in the lobby and by the merger can while we're on by now, i know i should know moment the age and illegal mon deals on males like one and then that will, that will allow you to have an initiation of national minimization. look at it. yeah. there are small, lot of people, but no, no, i mean, i mean, i saw it in one on my in my name is

the the, the so the us senate is debating the trillion dollar infrastructure deal. senate majority leader mich idle 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 is a good and important jumping off point. what was more on this? let's brand 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 rule. 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 nihilist 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, it's a cow with all the port thrown in. 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 park and 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 that's 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 pass the equations going to skyrocket even further. that i'm opposed to the structure, but we need to start living within our means of the problem is that we're not doing very much different degree than 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 and present. we can only print money for so long,

and when obama was president, we can rent money for so long and inflation. all that even front printed a lot of money and eventually inflation will get. 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 and you'll see american certain feelings they're parking, but when they start continuing, so gas pay bills or 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. great to be with you. well, tennis is back in washington, d. c is the city open gets underway. ortiz, virginia ham is 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 both held their tournaments here. well for the 1st time in
