vali nasr, school of advanced international studies, johns hopkins university: counterfactual historyt to conduct here. things might have been very different. saddam might have died a year later, maybe not, and maybe he would have been a greater danger. but it's difficult to see that the united states and the middle east are better off. firstly, we removed a brutal, dangerous dictator, but we replaced him with chaos. and iraqis went through hell and back in the aftermath of what transpired. and i don't believe that they feel that they're bter off. i was recently in iraq. and most of the young people, even the shia young people, have a nostalgia for the saddam era. secondly, by dismantling the aqi military, shattering the iraqi state, we opened the arab world for a level of iranian infiltration into the arab world that was not possible before the removal of saddam from power. it has been at a scale that we cannot reverse it. we have been for 20 years trying to put the iranian genie back in the box, and we can't. the now-much-feared and ballyhooed quds force of the revolutionary guard w

we have an entire practice and prestigious hospitals like john hopkins and baltimore, the gender care center with huge facilities and making money on children and adults. how was this allowed to stand in the united states? >> yeah, we got the same thing happening unfortunately, in the state of missouri. we have got the facts of these clinics, who's funding them and who's making the money on it. why are they pushing these treatments on parents and kids without fully exploring and telling them what the long-term consequences are which includes sterilization for life. we need to get to the bottom of who's behind this push to many cases mutilate these children without telling them what's going on. all of this goes back to the fact that we got to facts here and this shooting. we got to prevent it from happening again. we got to tell the truth about what happened in nashville. >> senator, thank you. >>> now, here the thing the media have been blaming for the trans person murdering children at this christian school. tennessee bans drag performances for kids. that's to blame. i was just talki

society of america may statements do not represent johns hopkins. over 1 million americans have died from covid, losses that magnify the tremendous suffering among countless families in our country. as a physician can for patients with covid for over three years we need to deeper understand the viruses origins and apply experience from the pandemic to improve our preparedness, prevent disease and save lives. investigations must be objective and driven by appropriate scientific and intelligence experts who present unbiased findings. investigations are ongoing for there is no consensus yet about the viruses origins for the department of energy with low confidence is determined into skate from a laboratory in china based on classified information unavailable to the public. the fbi reached its conclusion with moderate confidence. on the other hand many virologist believed compelling evidence points to an animal origin they conclude coronavirus most likely jump from a caged wild animal into people at a seafood market. we may never know the origin conclus
