CALLING ALL PATRIOTS - I repeat Saudi Arabia is going NUCLEAR!
Saudi Arabia wants a nuclear program and the White House is ready to help them achieve that goal. A report from the staff of the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform shows evidence that members of the Trump transition team tried to push through a plan to sell nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. The plan would have led to the construction of 40 nuclear power plants and facilities to enrich uranium fuel. The technology, while focused on civil nuclear power, could give the Saudis resources that could be used to build nuclear weapons. The plan would also have pumped billions into a number of US companies involved in the nuclear industry. Labeled the “Middle East Marshall Plan,” which was spearheaded by IP3 International, a private company led by a retired admiral and whose board includes a bunch of retired generals and politicians. Flynn signed on as an advisor to IP3 International just before joining the Trump transition team. The Saudi nuclear sales push is the entire focus of IP3 International. Is the Saudi Arabis nuclear program a good idea? Are nuclear power plants in the Middle East a good idea at all? -

Muhammad Sahimi comes on the show to explain the different movements and opposition in Iran. The opposition movement in Iran is kind of a mixed bag. Some like, the Iranian Green Movement, are natural reformers who are trying to facilitate real change in Iran. The other side of the opposition in Iran is groups like the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The Iranian Green Movement, also known as the Persian Awakening or Persian Spring by the western media, refers to a political movement that arose after the 2009 Iranian presidential election, in which protesters demanded the removal of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from office. Muhammad Sahimi explains that groups like the Iranian Green Movement are trying to make real progress. However, as much as these groups are a force for change, no one in the Iranian Green Movement is going to cozy up with the U.S in order to facilitate regime change.

Dr. Gregory Gause joins us to discuss the rise of Mohammad Bin Salman and the future of Saudia Arabia. Mohammad Bin Salaman (MBS) is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. He is currently serving as the country’s deputy prime minister, chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs and chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs. He is also the minister of defense – the world’s youngest at the time of his appointment. He is seen as the power behind the throne of his father, King Salman. He has led several reforms, which include regulations restricting the powers of the religious police, and lifted the ban on female drivers. His Vision 2030 program aims to diversify the Saudi economy through investment in non-oil sectors including technology and tourism. Despite making progress on domestic reforms, commentators and human rights groups have been vocally critical of his behavior. He is the primary architect of the war in Yemen which has claimed thousands of civilian lives due to indiscriminate bombing campaigns. War-induced famine and the Saudi led blockade has led to Yemen being on brink of starvation. In addition to all this, MBS has allegedly assassinated Washingon Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi bringing him closer to the status of global pariah.With all this negative press what does the future hold for this young crown prince? How did he even consolidate all this power?
