"Never going to go away ever, ever. Because those are the pieces the human in the loop part that is going to put all these cases together. So detectives listening right now, I don't care how good you are in a computers. I don't care if you can run an esri arcs GIS map instead of a pin map back in the day. I don't care if you know DNA and forensics and loci and all of those things. If you don't know how to extract information from people that they're reluctant to give you, you will not solve cases. I went through an FBI course, a guy one of the original members of the FBI behavioral Sanchez and he called it Goya cod. You want to solve cases. It's called Goya card. Get off your ass, knock on doors. So the other part to that is, and again, just I look at my little guy, she's young on the job. But I give him the same advice that the old time is, some old squad guy and his partner Sparta and Danny congressman, they came downstairs one day and addressed us a roll call as rookies and they said, listen, every day you're here, you're only here for one reason. You're here to build on the skills for the case that you hope you never catch. And that case is the death of a member of the service. And at that time, whatever role you're in, whether you're a police officer, you're a detective, you're in a crime scene unit. All of your skills are going to be called upon to solve that, right? You almost sounds like a godfather thing, right? Like, you know, all of your skills are going to be needed to do what you need to do. And that was so profound when them guys said that. And I used to watch the old school detectives come down, sit down, shoot basketballs, you know, buy a 6 pack for the guys at the pot. And they grabbed us and they said, every time you walk down the street, have a conversation with every single person you pass. Every single person, you're on a football post, speak to everyone, stop in the store, say hello. Every one of those people will be somebody that you're going to need, you're going to have to be able to do that.

"Impacted it, but we have this classical image of a hoplite at four ADC, which is, of course, the helmet, usually the full face or in the helmet. The thorax or the metal bell chorus. You have the teres, the kilt around the waist. You have the griefs that cover the knee and the thighs. And then of course you have the aspect, which is the big round shield and the door, which is the 6 to 9 foot thrusting spear. And this is sort of the classical image of how a hot light is equipped now. I do want to point out that even back then, that is how a wealthy hoplite is equipped. The only thing you're required to have to stand in the phalanx is the shield and the spear and I'm sure there were plenty of people that showed up for work like that because that's what was available and they weren't turned away because everybody counts. But they were probably in the back. They were probably not in command positions. But we don't see them represented in art, which is interesting. And we don't, I mean, maybe to some extent we do, but certainly less so. And there's not a lot of discussion about that. We sort of have this image of this uniform pop light and one of the things I struggle against in all of my historical work is breaking away from this idea of uniformity, especially in ancient medieval warfare. Uniforms are a post westphalian. So we're talking 16 40s. Idea. And even then they weren't super uniform. I'm currently doing a project on the English Civil War. And I'm fighting against this conception of uniformity, which didn't exist even so recently as that. So but then what you see is a gradual shedding of armor across the 5th century.

It's like all these people that don't accept the matrix this all right.

He's like oh he's in love with trinity to choose to save humanity or is he just chooses to save trinity. But i don't know what the decision was previous to that it was probably you know you pick your twenty three people or whatever start over but that was that decision but what was the other decision. Okra -sition the you either. Save the human race or save trinity. Maybe there wasn't a decision like that before. Yeah architects like you. Always pick that door blah blah blah bullshit. So i don't know if that was purposely introduced by the oracle or not's trinity's there and he picks the other door in the net causes all these unknowns mix machines nervous. He kills agent smith in the first movie at the very end so he didn't even make any choices so that would have happened in all the matrixes. Explain that one.

"The two most prominent members of this ten werena and phallus, who, even before the arrival of pausanias, had been in discussion with brassy bolus. As part of the agreement, both the men in the city and those in the pi reis were allowed to return to their own homes, and each side was required to pay back all of the money that they had borrowed during the war. Most importantly, a general Amnesty was agreed upon. The first such instance only historical record. The Athenians decided that this was the best way to govern their liberated city state and to reconcile the atrocities that had been committed by the 30. The Amnesty declared that all were compelled to renounce all of their bitter grievances, and that the general public was protected legally from prosecution for the acts that they committed before the democratic government was restored. Except in cases where they personally committed a murder. The only ones who could be brought to justice for their past crimes were those who were thought to be responsible for the nasty things that had happened in Athens. Including the 30 tyrants themselves, the ten that the 30 had put in charge of the piraeus. The 11 prison magistrates appointed by the 30 who acted as their police force, and the two boards of ten that had replaced the 30. But even then, these men were not necessarily executed. They were given ten days to submit their accounts at their, which was the normal process and Athenian democracy when government officials accounted for the actions that they made during their terms. And if they cleared at these tribunals, they could take up their position as citizens in the restored Athenian democracy. In fact, according to Aristotle, during the Athenian and his colleagues on the second board of ten, due to their role in bringing about the end of the oligarchy, not one complaint was brought against them. They were all allowed to remain in the city and renan was immediately elected general. But not everyone involved was so lucky. Those who were not acquitted essentially lost their citizenship rights. They were allowed to leave Athens freely without any harm, but had to return back to elusive. In addition, as part of the agreement, a loos was now recognized as a separate city state. No longer just a deem of Athens. And like Athens, it too was bound to Sparta by an inferior alliance. Since the eleusinians were now no longer Athenians, they also lost their privileges in the city of Athens. But the sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone eleusis would remain common ground for all, and under the influence of its two noble families. The yum all paid and carriage. Basically, those that elusive could not enter Athens, nor could the Athenians enter elusive, except for the time of the mysteries. When both parties could step foot in each for religious celebrations. So in effect, it was a relatively moderate conclusion to what had been a bloody reign of terror. After this P settlement was finalized, at some point in September a four O three BC pausanias led his army back to the peloponnese, where he dismissed them to return to their homes. At the same time, the RC bolus led his men on a post through Athens, up to the acropolis, where they sacrifice their weapons to Athena and prayed for.

My standard is victoriously then sailed back to lamp sockets bringing along with them the captured Athenian ships and prisoners after sending a ship to Sparta to announce. The good news is, then gathered together the Allies to decide the fate of their new prisoners during the course of the war Sparta's allies had seen their land devastated and their economies ruined and had suffered many casualties their own in the fighting atrocities on both sides had grown even more horrible as the years went on but the Athenian massacres and enslavement of the populations of cities like cione and Milos, especially well-known and Victor's commonly tended to conveniently forget or even excuse their own excesses and allow themselves to be consumed by the hardships that they have endured. So in the discussion that followed gap between Sparta's allies many accusations were made against the Athenians one specific example cited was a resolution that the Athenians had recently passed and they're ekklesia concerning how they would treat their enemies wage. After they won the war that they would cut off all the right hands of those that they should capture so that they couldn't wield a spear or apply in or any longer. Another was an Athenian atrocities committed when the captured Sailors of a Corinthian and andrean trireme were thrown overboard in which Phil Oakley's was the General with such accusations fresh in their minds. It was ultimately decided that with the exception of adamantis who alone had spoken out against the decree in the ekklesia about the cutting of the hands all Athenians prisoners were to be killed while the other Greek captives were spared despite his previous harshness towards defeated enemies. We cannot be certain that if this were lysander's Choice alone, he would have killed all the prisoners the decision though was made by Sparta's Ventures allies and he signed off on it. The locals was brought forth first to answer for his alleged throwing overboard of the Corinthian and Andre and sailors historic was cut and Then followed the slaughter of the recipe..

BC had a point at Susie's II as ruler of his lands along the Aegean Shoreline these two men would become the most powerful rulers and Thrace and we're frequently at variance with one another but both were good friends with alcibiades. Therefore they apparently had offered to provide him with a joint Army to assist his countrymen against the Spartans alcibiades then made it known that a requirement of him doing so though would be that the Athenian generals had to offer him a share of the command the introduction of birth. Townships would have been very valuable if the Athenians could have taken lamp sockets by land Lysander would have been forced to fight his way out of its harbor. I guess Athenian Fleet in a stronger position and at a time and place of their choosing under those conditions defeat would be almost certain and with the land and Athenian hands the Spartan Fleet likely would have been destroyed as it had been at cyzicus home, but the Athenian generals also had good reason to doubt the promises that alcibiades was making knowing full. Well that similar promises in the past had not been kept ultimately. No Athenian generation would have dared to yield any part of his command to an exile because if they were defeated they would be blamed but if they were victorious all credit would go to alcibiades alone.

In fact two of the generals tydeus and Minaj Rose were especially hostile to him and ordered him to leave from their camp at once barking that it was they who were in charge now not alcibiades. If this offer had come from anything else perhaps it would have been something that the Athenian generals would have considered but as it were disappointed alcibiades immediately left the Athenian camp.

But proximity to Lysander seems to have been the main concern in the minds of the Athenian generals as their primary objective ought to pin him down to prevent him from sailing into the propontis and towards the bosporus and to force a Battle as soon as possible before their money ran out there for the Athenians did not intend to spend much time there.

I I guess said it would be difficult to find someone clever enough in the Underworld but later because he is the god of theater Dionysus was asking himself to mediate the contest then everyone exits the stage the chorus comes back on and after a brief song There is a complete change of scene to The House of Hades who himself is sitting on his throne and with Dionysus aeschylus in Europe and he's in the foreground as the contest Begins the two playwrights take turns quoting verses from their place and making fun of the other the Challenger Europe and he's first attacks aeschylus quote. I saw through him years ago. Oh that rugged Grandeur. It's also uncultivated unrestrained. No doubt whatsoever. Just a torrent of verbiage and quote aeschylus responds that his place have lived on while Europeans is Works have died with him throughout the contest the table. Let's make references to their place at one point your buddies argues that the characters in his are better because they are more true-to-life and logical quote. I've right about everyday things which the off chance knows about and could take up on if necessary. I didn't try to bludgeon them into submission with long words and quote a frustrated aeschylus then ask your epodes what qualities does one look for is a good poet to which she replies to teach people to be better citizens aeschylus responds that he believes idealized characters are better as they are heroic and models her virtue quote. My hero is weren't like these Agora Luther's delinquents and Rogues. They write about nowadays. They were real heroes breathing Spears and swords and quote aeschylus also box here, but he's is first as predictable and formulaic by having his opponent quote lines for many of us Pro logs each time interrupting the declamation with the same phrase looketh on a police dog. Or lost his little flask of oil the passage here has given rise to the term Like A Thon for this type of rhythmic Ruben poetry your buddies counters by demonstrating the alleged not knee of aeschylus is coral songs parodying excerpts from his works and having each citation end in the same refrain he call upon oil pehle face a paragon. Oh what a stroke don't you come to the rescue from aeschylus is lost play myrmidons aeschylus retorts to this by mocking euripides as Coral meters and lyric manatees with castanets during the contest though Dionysus redeems himself for his earlier role as the butt of every joke. He now rules the stage adjudicating the contestants squabbles fairly breaking up their prolonged aunts and applying a deep understanding of Greek tragedy. Finally aeschylus grows tired of the contest. And so to end the debate he asks for the scales to be brought in and eat or told to tell a few lines into it the pay off of the two playwrights is weighed and measured and whoever's lines have the most weight or substance will cause the balance to tip in their favor your buddies producers verses that mention the ship ought Argo persuasion and the mace aeschylus responds with the river spare chaos death to Crashed chariots and two dead charioteers since the language versus literally refer to heavier objects aeschylus wins, but Dionysus is still unable to decide whom he will revive he finally decides to take the poet who gives the best advice about how to save Athens looking at both men. He says quote I came down here for a poet what for to save a city of course..

Satellites Track Status of Nation's Food Supply
"Have you ever wondered. How much food is growing right now? Across the globe. Satellite data is for the first time giving us nearly real time data. Uh on which trump's are being planted which crops might fail because of climate impacts like drought or disease and how many because of rain for us to being cut down for grazing land. Using this information we can better path famines reduced price volatility and work out how to feed a planet of nine billion people by twenty fifty. That's a WHO small undertaking and it will have huge impacts on everything from water usage to soil health to help us. Navigate is fascinating new science. I sit down with Dr Inbound. Becca Russia the director of NASA's food security and agricultural programmes. Dr Becca Russia is also the CO director of the center of Global Global Agriculture Monitoring Research and the University of Maryland in bow was rented by the US State Department for her work on food security and Technologies winning being the US Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Science Prize Innovation Research and education awarded by the White House's John Holdren the former assistant listen to president.

My cousin and one of my favorite people ever in Bell and her husband Dr Guido Portillo a molecular physicists. have to amazing daughters Natalie and I need it. I caught up with him about last week in Tel Aviv. which is where she was born? Yes born in Israel shortly after moved to the states until I was five and then came back from age five to eleven then moved to Kenya and then moved to the states in one sense cents. I feel very much like an outsider. In a very in another sense I feel very much home like I never left. And it's the first time I bring my two daughters here which is quite emotional for me for to have them here. Seeing where I grew up and a big part of my life and who I am so do you speak Hebrew with them in bow I do. I speak Hebrew with them and so for them. I think it's been An interesting experience to come to a country where everybody speaks what we speak at home and usually nobody else speak so kind of our secret language. So it's been fun to to see them connect and in some way feel very much also that this is part of of who they are two and what things you miss the most about Israel the sun in the winter having twenty degrees in January or end of December the familiarity of people and kind of the directness of people. Anything I missed that I also kind of get confronted with it and in other ways my friends really good friends. Family food vegetables fruit the so Tokyo food food in battle. One of your your light. One of the leading experts in the world on remote sensing in crop prediction. Why full you is is crop and food security such a big issue on a planet which currently has seven and a half billion people on it food security is probably one of the biggest challenges we face in this coming century today day? There's over eight hundred twenty million people food insecure around the world. That number is on the rise again. Due to several reasons one is increasing populations and increasing in demand on meet another big driver's been climate extremes and large droughts as we look forward and and different forecasts predict that we need to increase our food production fifty percent by twenty fifty and there's some variability around that number. But I think some of what's been driving that is one increasing populations to increasing middle middle classes in places like India and China which means there's a much bigger demand for meat. And if you think about the amount of food you need to produce meat versus Vegetarian anti at that obviously has big demands. It's quite an alarming trend and at the same time. Obviously there's a lot of technologies and changes in terms of our production. What we need to do is to be able to increase our food production on the same amount of land? There's not a lot more land that we can really bring into cultivation to meet that demand so that's pretty alarming like increasing food supply by fifty percent by two thousand fifty which is only now thirty years away with how growing the amount of land. How are we going to do that? Part of it is increasing increasing. The intensity of of our captivation of it has to do with the technology of seeds. And I think we're continuing to see increases in yields are low. Not as fast as that was in the past. Some of the big increases we're seeing today is from increasing the number of seasons since I think if you look at Brazil for example with two mays seasons. That's increased tremendously the amount of food. That's being being produced looking at different varieties and more whether it's drought resistant varieties. That's going to get as part of the way there at least to your specialty is helping countries knit together. Analyses of determining what the future food production season is going to look like. Why is that important to know a lot of what I do and try to understand what food production is GONNA be for this current season as it's developing and that's really important because today our world is it's very much globalized interconnected? So what's the quantity of of wheat that's going to be grown in. Russia has an impact not only in Russia but it really has a global impact. Let's really important taft. Transparent information to have global information of how much food is being produced at at any given time that has an impact on how a government decides to to plan their actions. I am policies. It has an impact on humanitarian organisations and trying to forecast where there might be food shortages. And how do you mobilize as soon as possible. and has obviously a big the impact on markets and international food prices given the importance of all that. How did we use to track? Whether it's a country that has a system of farmers. There's reporting everything that they grow in tracking it that way. Various statistical surveys to make sure that there's a statistical representation to that and obviously some countries do a better job at that in a better accuracy and timeliness than other countries. Do I mean the start of satellite monitoring for agriculture. Goes back nearly as early as satellite. Remote Sensing doesn't in general in the seventies and how the US got involved in. This was a big drought in Russia. One of the big wheat production next countries at the time of USSR the US wasn't aware of that drown in that impact and in what ended up happening is the US sold. We'd at subsidized prices. Essentially and then had to fight back in the international markets at much higher prices because there was was a shortage who was I did at Sparta Program at the time that Usda and NASA had together called Lacey and the objective of that really was to try to monitor what was going on outside of the US in the major food production especially we at the time we in corn production and the idea was that satellites were really the only way ah the US could look at other countries in the world getting a sense of what they were producing. And if you look today at what. The vision is for Satellite Remote Sensing and agriculture. It's not all that different. Then when it was over forty years ago. What is different? Today is our capability to finally reach that goal. So you had this vision forty years ago being able to know what another country's crop would yield like what change in satellite so that we now actually have that granular level detail to be able to know with better accuracy. So few do things. One is the quality of satellite data itself the frequency the resolution and resolution. If you think about it is what objects you can discern on the ground from a pixel which is how we look at the imagery. It's the satellite data being open and free at at multiple resolution. New satellites that have come into play both from the European side. Something called the sentinels which today imaging the world at ten meter resolution close to every three to five days which is looked along with land sat satellite for example from the. US giving US close to every three days view the world. So where would you say ten meters just to break it down to that. Means every pick cell is ten meters. That's right it's ten by ten meter resolution. So that means you can can discern quite a lot and if you think about looking at the whole world at ten meter resolution. That's a huge amount of information. And so we've had huge advances in terms of the satellite data also commercial satellite and a lot of cubesats that are going into space which are now giving us close to daily data three-meter resolution and then our compute power to be able to process that kind of imagery and advances in modeling and computational technologies to really be able to utilize that data has been a huge revolution in terms of what we're able to do so go all these lights. NEW ONES IS ACCU- ones. Those are like really teeny little satellites. That are going out. That's right. So they're often termed as shoebox size satellites. They have been sending up in in fleet so I think today. They're close to four hundred or more earth-observing satellites that are called cubesats so the data quality is not as high. They don't have as many spectral bands for example as as some of the other satellites but they're cheap to send up and they've also revolutionized the space of commercial satellite. So those aren't free. They're much more affordable than than they would have been in the past. What are you looking for right? So we're trying to basically look at signals us of crops so one of the things we're trying to understand is where are the crops of the world being grown and there's still huge certainty around that one would think that we would know that very well and And there's still a lot of room for us to improve that second of all is which crops are being grown wear and if you think about it every year that's changing so there's a lot lot of crop rotations and so what that really means you want to be able ideally to know what's being grown in each field during the growing season so that's one of the the big objectives is to be able to classify Within the season where things are being grown to be able to both discern how much of an area is being grown. That's one part of the production equation and the other side is what the yield is going to be and so what we WANNA do. It's really important to have time series of data to look at it through time to look at the volition of the development of crops. But but when you said earlier that we don't actually know where food is being grown. What does that mean if you think about it as a map of where the the world's croplands we have several of those maps but we're trying to continuously increase the accuracy of that? And if you think about crop expansion or changes in where croplands are for example title Brazil and and huge expansion of croplands. There is really important to be able to update that as frequently as possible in particular in in areas where there is a lot of change and we still need better information on where the global croplands are and then more specifically within season a crop type maps.

US, Iran conflict hardening over attacks on 2 tanker ships
"Tensions between the US and Iran are again, ratcheting up as the US accused Iran of orchestrating an attack Thursday on Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, Iran, denied any involvement, and accused the Trump administration of trying to sabotage diplomacy secretary of state. Mike Pompeo directly accused Iran attacking the oil, tankers just hours after the incident. It is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran, responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Amman today, this assessment is based on intelligence. The weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar rating attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency jacked with a high degree of sophistication. On Thursday night. The United States also released video of which acclaimed was runs revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mind from the side of the Japanese oil, tanker attacked, however, the president of the Japanese company that owns the ships that it was not attacked by mines, but to flying objects, he also said he does not believe any objects where tach to the side of the ship Iranian ships did approach the oil tankers after the attack. But according to multiple news accounts. The Iranians helped rescue dozens of crew members from the tankers the timing of the incident, also raise many questions as it came as Japanese Prime minister was visiting Iran and an attempt to bring Ron in the United States. The negotiating table. Iranian-american treat a party said, quote sounds like some are afraid Japan may succeed in starting diplomacy. The message of peers to be, don't you dare stand in the way of my war plans? Treat a party said last month, the US blamed, Iran for attacking four other oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, but offered no evidence will. For more, we're joined now by VJ per Shah, director of tri-continental institute for social research, chief editor of leftward books. He's also the chief correspondent of globetrotter he's the author of several books, including the poorer nations possible. History of the global south. Welcome to mockery now VJ per shod respond to it's happening right now in the Gulf of phone line. Hello, amy. It's I think important to bench into the woods you just used. You said that only hours after the attack, or the bombings in the Norwegian and Japanese thank the US secretary of state went out there and blamed, Iran hours of to, you know, it's very interesting. There's a kind of rush to blame Iran for anything that's been happening around the go. Full moves people who look closely at the oil business understand that fifty percent of the world's oil goes through the Gulf of law, Moos, the understand that, you know, getting oil is a dangerous activity, all kinds of things happen are accidents this by the see there, a series of it'll quite a common risks faced by all tankers. Iran is not one of those high on the list of Sparta's risk assessors are concerned. And the of course, this is the first thing, the United States government has said, as you said, without the evidence. So within a few is and without any evidence, the United States government wants more provoking, some sort of response from Iran, perhaps, or at least to try to galvanize public opinion to believe that Iran is a threat to the would what's really important here is yes. The fact that Shinzo Ave, the first Japanese Prime minister to visit Iran in forty one years. He goes to Iran ah shortly after the Iranian Foreign Minister visited him in Japan. In fact, Mr. Zarif visited Shinzo abbey in his home. They had a very important conversation with Shinzo obvious said that the Iranian nuclear deal is a factor of stability for West Asia. This goes directly opposed to the Trump adminis-. Stations view and what's very important here is we're not talking about a country, that's far from American the American audit. This is Japan, a reliable ally of the United States, which is not only reliant upon Iranian oil, but understands that, the warmongering in West Asia is going to be very bad, not only for Eurasia, but for the would and I think we need to understand that as Shinzo Ave is in Japan, this attack this several Taj. Whatever it is, is an rallies on the Novi jn Japanese tankers. And again as Shinzo Ave is in Iran. That's right. He wasn't there on the first time in forty one years, and he has been saying, actually interesting. This is a right-wing prime minister. This is not a person of the left he's been saying that there needs to be a return to the table. It's not only Japan saying this Amy. It's also the Europeans, the Europeans of very keen that the US not break fully from this Iran deal. The Germans in fact have been looking for noted mechanism for payments India, which is one of the largest budgets, Iranian oil had to back off because of these new very tight sanctions put in place by the US government. But the Indians are also not that interested in this new approach by the Trump administration. They would like to continue to buy oil. In fact, it's kind of 'isolation that the United States is facing its is related alongside the Israelis the Saudis and the United Arab. Emirates nobody else wants war. Nobody else wants this deal to end. And so I think it's really out of frustration that you see the United States jumped the gun come in very quickly and say that Iran is, is doing this, Ronn is doing that. And therefore, we have to retaliate. It's important to remember that in two thousand seventeen the CIA created a special unit. Call the Iran mission center run by Michael d Andry, and this is an important outfit because its entire mandate has been to ratchet up pressure on Iran. I don't know what happened to the Norwegian or thank. Oh, the Japanese thank good. But I'd be very interested to hear what the Iran mission center at the has been up to since twenty seventeen and runs. Foreign minister mohammad-javad reef tweeted Thursday, reported attacks on Japan related tankers occurred while PM obey Shinzo. Was meeting with our toll hominy for extensive and friendly. Talks suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning, Iran's proposed regional dialogue forum is imperative. He said, VJ per shot. Mr. Zarif is a very capable diplomatic very reasonable person. He has been leading Iranian diplomacy, and has opened many doors to a diplomatic solution for the standoff around Iran. And I think we need to take seriously what Mr. the saying here when he uses the woods suspicious, I think we should underline that would again. I'm not saying what happened in, in the Gulf of our Moose's very clear that there are alternative explanations. We don't know what happened. We should be suspicious of the negative would forward by the US department, but we should also be suspicious about what happened, we need to ask questions, considered this form a regional standpoint, the United States, the Russians and others are in the middle of very serious diplomatic effort in Ghana stone. There are meetings of the US held in cutter, there are meetings that the. Russians of held in Moscow to dial down the almost nineteen year war that has been taking place in Afghanistan. Imagine if the United States strikes against Iran right now, it would bring catastrophe further to Ghana stone, it would open up the wounds in Iraq, and in Syria, Mr. Zuma's made it very clear that in a tack on Iran is not merely an attack on Iran. It's going to create even more catastrophe in that region. That's one of the main reasons why the Chinese are very interested in not allowing any kind of warn that region. They ever lauded stick, especially in terms of their belt and road initiative, which cuts right through this region goes three run. Nobody wants a war here. It's important for Americans to stand that the US government is deeply isolated on this issue of Iran. And on the way that the US government portrays, Iran in the rest of the would Iran is seen. As a stabilizing force in that region for some strange reason. The US government believes that Iran is an interloper. In other words, there almost eighty million Iranians who live in West Asia, and this seemed to be out of place, whereas the United States, which is, you know, thousands of miles away a portrays itself as a regional active. This is very bizarre for people around the world, and I think Americans need to understand it on Thursday, members of the House Armed Services committee from both parties said Pompeo told them in a classified briefing that the United States could use the two thousand one authorization for these military force or a you enough to attack Iran without congressional approval. This is Michigan democrat Elissa slot. Can we were absolutely presented with a full formal presentation on how the two thousand and one A M F might authorize war on Iran? Yes, I'm sir. I'm sorry, sir. Secretary Pompeo set it with his own words. The af was passed in the wake of the nine eleven attacks authorizes, the president take military action against those responsible along with any quote associated forces, your response to that VJ per shot. And what role do you think Saudi Arabia is playing in all of this? I mean look, this is very chilling. Very disturbing marching us into a war. In other words, they're marching the world into war. They're pushing Iran, the sanctions of attic, catastrophic impact on Iran's external revenues its ability to earn money. There is serious medical crisis inside the country, I think focus should be on that. We've already seen how sanctions destroyed countries how they put a lot of stress on the country, but that's not the focus of anybody's attention. In allowing people like Mr. Pompeo John Bolton. Another set the agenda here, you know, they're being allowed to say that Iran is the criminal country. Must be there for tact. I think this is very disturbing. Saudi Arabia of forces playing a lead role in this. I mentioned the Iran mission center, Mr Michael Andreas is very close to the Saudis. In fact, has. Played an important role in the drone program, and it's likely to have had some role in Saudi warned Yemen. So I mean, this is something people to consider this very quick, March to war must be stopped. The reason saying this is not just about Iran. It's about the region. It's about Eurasia and the Trump administration, I think is playing fast and loose with the facts and is being very reckless with world affairs on this in a we see the Trump administration behaving recklessly mercurially, perhaps in other parts of the world. That's true, but with Iran, I think the finger is right on the trigger and the very fact that bumpier gave this briefing should suggest to people that this is not the time to be cynical. Sick sit back and say, I don't think they're going to do it. It's very likely that the United States is going to make some strike on Iran, and that strike is going to open further the.

Investors Nervous With Fed Meeting Ahead
"Shutdown and currently very much on anything fed related at all. And so it seems like it's just this sort of confluence of factors a lot of uncertainty. That's really keeping people on the edges of their seats. Do you think part of the volatility certainly leading up to tomorrow's announcement by the fed is is. Uncertainty about what they're gonna do sorta causing the uncertainty, or is there an effect issue here with the fed now looking at the markets going, you know, what I mean? Yeah, you know, it does seem like we may have some sort of a feedback loop as someone who covers the fed thirty day in day out. I can't say that they've generally don't take a lot of signal from near-term market news. Now, extended volatility that bleeds through to the real economy is something that they definitely worry about it. It's not that they don't care about markets. But they I don't think are going to to make decisions based on any short-term moves key point short. Short-term volatility not bleeding through to the real economy. Right. That's that's a key factor. Exactly. That's the that's really the distinction. It's not that. They're ignoring it. It's what they care about. At the end of the day is really conomic growth. Gotcha. To the president's tweet this morning and a couple of tweets in the last couple of days, he's leaning on the fed. That's not unusual. What you know the way he's doing it is sort of unusual. But let me ask you this. Is it possible that the president is right that perhaps what is needed now from the fed is maybe not a rate increase with some signs that there may be some slowing in this economy. Maybe the federal to take a pause. I think plenty of people would agree with that assessment. You know, a lot of the data is coming in in a way that point Steph had pies being a good idea at the end of the day, though, you know, the fed is going to have to make that decision. They very much signaled a hike this month. And so it would be surprised if they didn't make it also in light of the president leaning on them. It would be tough for them to back off. Now. Right. Just. It would open questions on my Judas. Molly covers the economy for Bloomberg Gina. Thanks a lot. Really? Appreciate your. Thank you. All right. Take it easy. All right. As I said, there is something of an economic conundrum going on right now, which is complicating the whole conversation about the fed, and what it might or might not do tomorrow. There's plenty of data that shows the economy's doing pretty well right now job growth consumer spending to name just a couple. But there is stuff to worry about as well in your time survey of CEO's not too long ago found half of and thought we could hit a recession by the end of next year. Now, maybe we will. And maybe we won't. But can we talk ourselves into a recession? Marketplace's should remain. Sure. Has that one? There's a story that Keith Crain editor in chief of automotive. News likes to tell it's about a son who comes back from college. And he tells his dad who's a car dealer, Pat. We're going to get a recession you better cut back on your advertising instead of being open, eight hours, six sure enough business tanks because by doing all those things the car dealer made it tank and. A father tread, boys. My son Sparta it was as they say a self fulfilling prophecy. Oh, I have seen this happen. Over forty years of business, quite many, economists believe this story can play out on a macro scale.
