You are running everything here right either for the head This move onto our top story. It is officially twenty twenty new decade new year new goals. Now, personally, I didn't make a new year's resolution. This year I was gonna, go on an old Regan diet, but then my friend told me it's legal to events, but there is someone who did make a new resolution. Vice president of the United States, Donald J Tromp President, has indeed repeatedly called for ending harshly foreign war. Censure was recently as New year's eve, specifically referring to IRAN. I wanna have I like peace Ok, clearly trump around beauty

since for so long. He started to answer questions like he's in one. I want world peace, I like peace and now for my talent. I will burn the alpha back so on December thirty, First Donald Trump said his dream: or peace specifically in the Middle EAST and then on January. Second, he did this this CNN breaking news tonight is huge: a rocket attack on the Baghdad airport hills around most revered military leader and a senior, Fishermen, Iraq's paramilitary forces, are the Pentagon, tonight that the attack was a? U S, airstrike Sweet Jesus, Donald Trump order, the killing of IRAN's top general. What happened? peace. When most people break their resolutions, they eat ice cream instead of working out This guy rained down file, and these must be eight ice cream, while doing it Now, despite despots, a real thinking,

I can well, it was happening than now, despite all the instant exports and social media. Tweeting about surely money. The truth is for most Americans. Iran's top general was far from a house. Me why the only iranian leaders most people know are the Ayatollah and the iron sheikh, so very broad range, but don't get a twisted, don't acknowledged interest for iranian since general, so that money was commander of IRAN's Revolutionary Guard said his country? Has thirty? Five? U S targets in its crosshairs, ready to pull the trigger president Tromp tweeted over the weekend. The? U S has fifty two targets identified, including cultural sites in IRAN, where you have to admit this is wild trunk kills IRAN's top general and then, when you run threatened continuing this morning, president Tromp and IRAN are also dangerously trading, very serious threats of war, a comment Reverend Revolutionary Guard said his country has thirty.

Five? U S, targets in its crosshairs ready to pull the trigger president Tromp tweeted over the weekend! The? U S has fifty two targets identified, including cultural sites in IRAN, where you have to admit this is wild trunk kills IRAN's top general and then, when you run, threatens to retaliate Trump says you better, not while destroy your culture. What's next he's gonna send attacks like all you think you crazy. Well, I'm local. Where say not! First of all, destroying cultural sites is probably a war crime. You can't do that because, according to the Geneva Convention in war, the things you destroy, I suppose we for the purpose of the war not just to be dicks, but secondly, there is no way trump knows anything about iranian cultural sites. Ok. In fact, if IRAN is a smart bill uses to their advantage to get from to get rid of stuff, but they don't want to be like please, Mr Drum, destroy our most cherished culture, landmark that karaoke by

next to my house, this bears open until three dont do it. So now the United States and IRAN are on the brink of war. But the killing everyone general has a ripple effect across the entire Middle EAST. The death of custom solely money in Baghdad ignited a new chapter of regional tensions. American allies in the region are preparing for possible retaliation and are on high alert, So our american forces, with nine thousand in the region and three thousand extra preparing to deploy the State Department, issued an urgent warning overnight, telling all Americans in Iraq to leave. The country immediately, the Pentagon,

answered the? U S has paused its efforts in the fight against ices due to a need to protect you S, troops in the regent, Iraq's parliament voted to kick out of five thousand? U S: troops in the country, president Tromp fire back telling reporters. If Iraq does? Fourth? U S, troops to leave he'll make a rock pay for money. The United States spent in Iraq to build it expensive, airbases, we're not leaving. As they pay us back for ready, said. Ok guys, I don't know, but I think it's safe to say that this things not going according to plan, because you realize now America is sending more troops to the Middle EAST and also how is Trump Gonna flatly refused to leave someone else's country. You would be the worst IBM be tenants of all time. Running a review like I burned myself, cooking math and your kitchen fire not leaving. Until you give me my money back now, you might be wondering how could this well thought out

and to assassinate an iranian general turnout. So chaotically will maybe it's because this plan wasn't so well thought out. After all After the president's saw the protest at the: U S: embassy in Baghdad and blamed IRAN age presented the president with a variety of options. Top american military officials put the option of telling him on the menu they presented to. President trunk military leaders were stunned when president trumped decided to kill solar money top brass viewing his death is the extreme option they presented to the president? Ok now I knows my be a popular opinion, but this is where I don't blame Trump Pentagon officials trump a menu of options, but then they were shocked when he chose the most extreme one Gotta hear me, you were shot, have you seen trumps apartment? Part of his life makes you think, he's ever gonna pick middle of the road option if you dont want trumped up pick some

why you give em the option in the first place. Donald Trump will always pick the baltic real option on a menu with its a military strike. Ok see he's got a victim of the same thing, maybe they I'll. Have the meat Lubbers explosion with extra bacon serbian Katy pull of rank, stressing lecture? We don't actually have at best, just like a publicity stunt like that sounds like a? U problem and no, let us show now because of trumps extreme decision. The world is in a state of panic. Because what the truth is no one really knows: what's gonna happen next, nobody, could be on the brink of war. World war three or the whole thing could just fizzle out like the beef between the cannon, an eminent long people, though nobody geriatrician actually broken that pistol. He does so. We don't know what's going to happen at the question everyone's mind is why would Donald Trump even bring everybody to this point? Why do something show risky?

now nobody knows NOS there was a wise man. Some wise man two thousand eleven. Who could have predicted why this would be happening today? our president, will start a war with a ran because he is apt. Solutely, no ability to negotiate, he's weak and is in effect, so the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected and assure you sitting there. Start a war with IRAN. I believe that he will attack, ran sometime prior to the election, because he thinks that The only way he can get elected. Isn't it pathetic? he's right. What do I back huge known as question? How are you You know what to do with your money. Very few of us are

most a meaningful advice on how to manage our finances? Even fewer have the means to get there. National financial guidance. Betterment is a platform that was built to do something radical to give accessible fun. Actual vice. That puts you first, if you're, like most America, your money is probably sitting in a savings account The earning you next to nothing. Maybe you have an investment. But you're not really sure what to do with betterment can help. You make sense of what to do with your money. Investing involves risk but you don't have to know the ins and the outs of the stock market to start investing for your future. Betterments technology will put your money to work.

Betterments platform can even provide guidance on what financial goals makes sense for you if your money, a new home, with betterment piece of and included download betterment apt. Today, that's b e t t r m e n t for the betterment of you.

Go to record the daily show between America and they're on there's a lot of so called experts trying to make sense of this chaotic moment. But if you want a clear informed analysis that you have to turn to more reliable journalist, the Daily Show news team: satellite please welcome, Michael Costa, why would junior and does he like everybody would guess he is actually in IRAN right now dizzy, President Trump says he wants peace, yet his heck on general solar money clearly escalates the likelihood of a conflict. How does that make sense? It Trevor? It makes perfect sense if you want to reduce tension with the country

You kill their time general and threaten their entire way of life. As they know a boom situation de escalate, it doesn't make sense. How does a de escalate things are? Ok, it's like if some woman wanted to fight you in a bar, you have to stay calm or your drink on that Beijing has her husband on the tongue situation de escalate. I don't think that's right busy. I mean if someone kiss your husband do, that here's my husband tell me: I will hit them back so hard without thinking it over for one. Second. What would this is what I'm talking about? Iran has bowed to give revenge for the killing of general solar money. So if they retaliate what happens next well, then we d escalating harder until all life itself has been de escalated from this planet, especially that bit you can my hand me was it Karol, it's not! Let's move on this move onto what would junior, whose at the White House right now right. Please help us understand the timing around the attack, because officials are saying solely money. Was both a long term target and he's off

an imminent threat. So why now Trevor YE blind? None the cool, Stevie, wonder kind of away this isn't about IRAN. This is a classic diversionary tactic. Were later those two war in order to distract the population from domestic strive, because remember, there's another big problem trot want everyone to forget about back home. Of course, his impede twins the bully cats sick. It wasn't an international embarrassment, the lights from which this country may never would cover the oil had human hands altogether human hands. Some of them tat was psyche avenue One of the basic I gotta catch the house. Now I can look them in the Us- is Paul's assume sulphur levels in cats of such a disaster that trumpet start a war over. It's a really look what they did to my boy.

No, but he was supposed to be the next James Bond now either TAT was aware: Ferko he's a cat is already got far drug war. You obviously going through your own crisis, let's move onto Michael Costa, whose in Iraq right now, Michael this feels reminiscent of the Iraq war right We entered one feels like a similar move: bad leadership, no exit strategy. What do you think about a potential war with IRAN? Trevor so a great idea- and let me tell you America, Americans have great. Ideas like, for example, just now, I phone chargers snapped off into this electrical outlet. You, as South Africa would probably just by another phone chargers, but me as an American. I came up with a great idea: I'm gonna get it out with these metal. Tweezers Michael that that sounds like a really bad idea. Don't tell me what's Van Dam anyway, Trevor

with I ran, couldn't be easier go and were greeted as liberators and we all get free oil for life? The levels can prosper. Casa costs are you sure I mean the loss. America's military got involved in that region. It was one of the greatest mistakes in modern. U S. History will judge we're a country learns from its mistakes, That's hurting put. The point is we're not going to fall into the same trap. Ok we're just too smart for their backers. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't get it back on track here. It does you. Thank you so much. Some logically, I think we're missing with at the heart of this issue. The real question is: who can bear to kiss my hands? Bang you not we're out of those in power. Juno.

I guess life resuming her fifth term in Congress. The California Democrat is also chair of the congressional black hawk is please welcome sensitive Karen Bass. Welcome back to the show! Thank you thanks for having made it has been a few years since you ve been here, and it is safe to say a few things Have happened since you have been here. Yes, life has changed dramatically for congressional Democrats, specifically, yes, the folk above the news of the day, IRAN

This is one of those stories where many people are speculating as to what trumps true intentions were right. A lot of people also saying that this could be America getting into another war where president just doesn't on his own, with no congressional approval, as it is supposed to happen. What do you make of that, especially since the Trump administrations is This is technically linked to nine eleven and everything that has happened before it's not a new knows. The problem is that the president has lied more than ten thousand times since he's been in office, So how can we believe anything that has said from the administration? One minute you say there was an imminent threat, but you can't tell anybody what the threat was. You know they bring members of Congress and for a top secret briefing, and they tell us all the goods they don't even have it planned. So we really don't know what went on and that's what makes it so scary right when you when you look at the situation as it stands now, it looks like America may be in a position where they could be

We'll brewing more troops out headed to the Middle EAST s democratic, have drafted a bill trying to limit the powers that are present has in going to war. Do you think these the same law would have been drafted? It were to democratic president. Yes, actually, President Obama asked us to draft the law, because the last time of president was given permission to go to war. It was with Iraq so that permission is years. Old resident Obama asked us to do it, but we didn't do it. Why do you think that was well? I think that there was a lot of differences. Remember the Republicans we're in control body in January last year. The Democrats took over so I do believe, when we go back and session tomorrow that before the week is over, we will actually vote on a new resolution. The war powers ACT is what it's called and, I believe will vote on it again and we will definitely try to limit this president. You know he didn't even know who money was a few months ago. You thought he was Kurds

you know, and every member now he was the one that was involved in helping us get rid of ices riot of Iraq wiping out, but I think it too, in trumps defence, though I think first of all, the cook that's going around was from twenty fifteen before, he was president and he didn't. Yes, he didn't know short of money. What is it I know the names of two weeks ago? You genuinely don't. I really doubt because you know he doesn't Then let me ask, I can't dispute that what then, let me ask you honestly who'd you who do you think is more to blame the president who made this decision or the generals who presented him with the decision that was so crazy that even they were shocked by well. I agree with you that should have never presented that, but there are people in his administration like the Secretary of State who have been wanting to go to war with. I ran a long time, so I think this was just the excuse. You know I've been to that base the Green zone. I've been to that that embassy and the idea that

was overrun with huge. It means that the iraqi military kind of set have added guys when they, when they had all the programme. Dragline were burying the embassy that it is an interesting time for for the: U S in the world the way America Approach of the world in the way the world is approaching America. It's also interesting for the: U S, because impeachment is still a hot topic. Despite new year. Many people would argue that Democrats and Nancy Blowsy, specifically withholding the articles of of impeachment. From the Senate shows that this was a partisan move, why not? Why not send the articles of impeachment through? Why not have the process? continue considering. The Democrats said that this process has to take place as quickly as possible, right where I am sure that we will be sending them over. You remember: we voted on impeachment right before both houses recessed, I'm sure we will do it, but I know that Speaker Pelosi once there

to be a legitimate trial. Can you imagine the form of a jury going into the court room and telling the judge hey, judge a meeting with the defendant, we're on the same page right? That's what Mitch Mcconnell did and wonder what the speaker wants to see is a legitimate trial, a process, but is there were legitimacy to destroy because if it isn't the same thing as a criminal trial, I mean that's: that's be quirk of american laws that it's not a criminal trials. They can say that their unbiased then not really a jury. It's an interesting process where, since you know, Miss Connell has been most power in this process. So do you do you think it makes sense for them to give you the veneer of of being neutral? Or would you rather they just say? No, we going with Trump, regardless of what how well I actually think if they brought some witnesses forward, that some of those senators might develop

the courage needed to do what they know is right. You don't want me to do what have they got together and decided to have a secret ballot if they did a secret ballot? I think trotwood we oughta there in twenty four hours. I mean the reason why the republic and the reason why the senators with no better or going to defend him is because they're afraid he's gonna, tweet, they're, afraid he's gonna go and have a rally in their district. So you think if the sentences voted in secret to to impeach Trump to charge him, then you think that we would vote against some of her. I do and several of the former since you know Jeff flakes senator flakes, say he thought that a lot of people would vote against him to kick him out.

They could do it on a secret ballot, but they're all afraid, and I think that shameful, let's move now to your work with Amber congressional black HAWK. Yes, America's really interesting place, gearing up twenty twenty election Democrats uninteresting place where you have more convinced than ever and yet, at the same time, less representation than ever as we look at it now, some are saying that the party doesnt represent its constituents. Others are saying that this is just a by product of the weather. It was one. Where do you think the Democratic party stance is it's too many ideas under one tenth? What do you think people can coalesced behind one idea? Oh, I think people are so concerned about getting this guy out of office. I mean I would like to be before November, but if not absolutely has to be by November, and I believe that we will coalesce. I really do, and I think the thing about Democrats is, we are very diverse. You look at my colleagues on the other side of the Isle. Look at it. Sometimes they all look the same way.

But don't you think that makes it easier for them to work as a university, we look at the Republican Party. Yes, they do look, look the same, but they also have the same ideas. Legal. This is what we are voting for. Rang will vote for Trump. Will you know, as they say in twenty sixteen hold our noses and make the decision. Democrats have, as many have called in their purity test or ideologies that a different or cause your quarters even said recently. She would not be in the same party is Joe Biden if it weren't a two party system. Do you think those divisions can be healed when it's time to have one democratic? Can I absolutely do

and I believe that my colleague will be right there too, because if we have a choice, it might not be your favorite choice as to who wins the nomination, but look at what's at risk the Supreme Court, the federal judges all of the agencies that he appointed cabinet secretaries to so they would go in and destroy the agency's. There's too much at risk for the congressional black caucus. We're bringing leaders together from around the country in a few weeks to talk about two thousand and twenty is to do or die a year. If we get it wrong, we are going to screw up this place for the next two generations and you

about our standing in the world, people laugh at us. I know you know that I sit on foreign affairs. I go around the world. How can I say anything about corruption in another country? How can I tell an african leader or don't appoint your son he's got his son he's got his daughter. He's got his whole family there. He goes and plays golf every time. It goes and play golf. We pay for he's, made a truck load of money since he's been president when you look at black voters them as the congressional black hawk is. How do you address some of the unique concerns that many black voters in America have where they say many? I haven't seen my life change that much. I don't see the effectiveness of my vote. I dont understand. You know why I need to come out and vote. I don't even know if I'm just being used as a porn, it feels like lack votes in America, get recognized when its voting time and then for the rest of the term they just on the back burner. How would that change, or do you think there are certain where you could address the black vote? I am absolutely thing and I think it's our recent

civility. It is my responsibility me. One of the reasons why we're coming together and doing this summit in a couple of weeks is because we want to make sure that people understand the differences that the black hawk, as has made a lot of times. I think one of our weaknesses as the black hawk as this we really having spent the time telling people these are the things that we got done without my forty million dollars were historically black Caucasus. I me black colleges. We ve been able to do all of these things, so it's my responsibility as a member of Congress to make sure that people understand. This is why you vote. You vote number one, because you don't want bad things to happen, but number two, because you can actually get things done. Criminal justice reform about twenty thousand people have been released from prison because of the work that we did, and it was led by the black hawk is even though Trump tries to take credit for it, but we have a lot of legislation that we ve been able to accomplish, but it's our job to make sure that people know that

You working you working now honour on a really interesting project, and that is working on America's relationship with Africa, S and specifically Africa's image. Yes why's that important and what you follow its create so important to me to change the way our country used the continent of Africa. I actually think that we can look at Africa like we do inner city America. You know all the problems in old needing help all the time, and I joke and say that people in the United States Thing Africa is a country, the size, a Texas I mean so it's important to me to educate people that Africa is a continent with fifty plus countries. You can fit the United States in their three times and we need to view Africa as a pie

nor an opportunity, the rest of the world, does we need to do business with the continent of Africa and not just look at Africa from the point of view of foreign aid. As a matter of fact, I like the slogan that used in Africa, trade, not aid, so we're going to be taking a delegation over to the opening of the African Union in February and then in August speaker Pelosi, let a delegation with the congressional black caucus to go to. Because you know last year was the four hundredth anniversary from our arrival. It's an exciting time, especially for you and your job. I'm excited see what happens. Thank you. So much for being on the show, wonderful to see you.
