the shah even briefly fled into exile to escape the line of fire. several camps were now fighting for power in iran including the mourners and their followers and various political groups like the communists who wanted to abolish the monarchy in favor of a people's republic the shark it only hold on to his power with help from the us the american intelligence service the cia gave him money and helped him to set up his own secret police called sock. the shah was willing to team up with any ally who would fight against the influence of communism from the soviet union the clerics were traditionally anti communist and pro-monarchy so he tried to win them over to his side but it didn't work. he certainly thought that that ideological backing was religion. and that's again another mistake that he made. region as particularly as incarnated boy the sheer clergy could never have because. the ideological framework on which to build more there now is asian it was an ice age. in december 1959 tehran witnessed huge celebrations press photographers from all over

the shah's mistake was to want to do too much too fast mohamed raise our pocket he was the last shah of iran and a key figure in world politics during the 2nd top of the 20th century. his arch opponent was the shiite ruhollah khomeini who became a beacon of resistance to the shops rule. to buy food to go to see the 2 of them were. opposites both in terms of social image and personality. but i think those they became very fierce antagonists absolutely when the shot developed or. almost of session with. their rivalry lasted almost a lifetime eventually the shah was defeated and with the ayatollah his victory came islamic fundamentalism a new challenge for world politics. in september 941 at the height of the 2nd world war the iranian parliament swore in 21 year old mohammed to raise our posterity as the country's new head of state. his father a razor sharp levy had declared iran neutral but make no secret of his sympathies with the nazi regime the allies demanded his abdication. since hitler's invasion of the soviet union in 1941 the british and americans had been transporting heavy mi

shah: it is probably both. know the details of why they decided to make that change and what is more efficient in the new regime. what i do think is critically important is that people who are getting screened get the data and quickly. today in america, professional sports franchises, baseball, basketball, the nfl, they will all test their players and coaches, and they will get the results in a reasonable amount of time. 12 hours, 24 hours. we should be treating teachers, firefighters, health care workers like pro basketball players. those are the ones that should be getting tested. they should be doing it because they run america's essential institutions, and they are the only chance, keeping them at work safely is the only chance we have of avoiding another national lockdown. and doing at a time when cases are absolutely spiking. getting the data back to those people quickly, supporting them with contact tracing and isolation one positive, and fast, is the only way to prevent this new masses like in cases fro

charles: talk about the market continuing higher, shah.nergy, financials, those of the 11 s&p sectors, those are only ones down. it got us away from the notion of rotation, right? remember, we were going to leave value, growth going into value. that spells miserably. at some point rotation will actually work. if it does, does that mean the overall rally is derailed? can they coexist? somehow the names that are underperformed mightily start to get a bid? still the overall market continues to go higher? >> yes. i think they work beautifully together, as they have started to see. at second glance it looked more like speculation. it looked a lot of buying of beaten up stocks, but certain live wasn't a degree of rotation there. we'll continue to see that through the rest of the summer especially earnings season that bodes well for the market. we'll see all sectors start to rise. there is so much institutional money on the sidelines, charles. it will have to chase all the names higher, think we get another leg in the market. charles: erin, i kno

shah, about that and about the fact that we're really underestimating the pandemic in these states >> that's exactly why you need broad, asymptomatic testing. the idea is simple, it's that 50%, perhaps, of all the transmission is happening amongst people who don't have symptoms and as a result, we are dramatically underreporting the prevalence of this disease in community after community. and as a result, people are not necessarily following instructions in terms of social distancing and safe behavior the only way you get on top of this is through a data-driven response and the only way you do that is by getting, as we just heard, rapid results from testing. and thankfully, there are about a dozen or more new tests that are hitting the market now the administration's already expanded access to them for some types of nursing homes in certain communities. we need to be much more aggressive this is something -- this is a national emergency we're all in it together and the fall does not have to be worse than the spring. but without real action and real investment right now, it will be >>
