CC: It’s Getting Worse: Iran Makes War on Pakistan and Iraq

By SIMON CONSTABLE

Iranian-born British citizen and political activist Vahid Beheshti joins us from London outside the Foreign Office. He explains the latest on the conflict in the Middle East, notably the two attacks on Pakistan and Iraq, and what that means for the region. We also discuss the urgent need for the United Kingdom to remove all its diplomatic corps from Iran or risk them being taken hostage by Iran’s theocracy. And we have a lot more, too.

CC: How Much Has California Overspent? It's a mystery @JCBliss @RealConstable

 By SIMON CONSTABLE

California’s government can’t agree on how much it has overspent: $68 billion, $38 billion, or $100 billion. What’s the difference? It's only money. On top of that, the California Democrats want to introduce a wealth tax. What could possibly go wrong? We have that and more. Joining us from Orange County, California, is Jeff Bliss, a senior correspondent at California Flow Magazine, a regular contributor on John Batchelor's CBS radio show Eye on the World, and heard on many other radio stations across California.
