Summary
How much damage will Trump do in his remaining weeks in office? What is he planning and why are so many top government officials visiting Israel, Saudi, and UAE right now? Author and activist Trita Parsi joins Thom- how is Trump trying to make it difficult for Biden to rejoin the Iran-nuclear deal and keep the bomb out of Iran?
In the battle between autocracy and democracy around the world, can we once again become a positive example by healing America? Plus- clawing back America from the right-wing billionaires and corporations... would Trump steal Air Force One?.. And why do we have such a long transition of power in the first place?

| 0:20.6 | Welcome back Tom Hartman here with me on the line with us is Dr. Trita Parsley, the executive |
| 0:24.4 | vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible State Craft Quincy INST.org is website |
| 0:30.9 | or responsible statecraft.org and you can tweet him at T. Parsley P.A.R.S.I. Dr. Parsley, welcome |
| 0:37.3 | back to the program. The Iran nuclear deal is I thought this was like one of the major accomplishments |
| 0:43.3 | of the Obama administration and the world. I mean this is what five or six countries who are |
| 0:47.6 | signatories to this and we know you know Donald Trump tried to blow it up. Where are we at with that? |
| 0:51.9 | What are the odds that President-elect Biden will bring it back and what are the potential |
| 0:56.9 | obstacles to that that Trump might have laid in the path of President Biden? Yes so Trump has |

| 1:33.1 | record for months now saying that they want to go back into it and that the policies of Trump |
| 1:37.6 | have been a failure. So I think expectations are high that Biden absolutely has to try to go |
| 1:42.5 | back to it and I think actually the political price he will pay is not for trying to go back into |
| 1:47.4 | it if he fails to try to go back into it. So what Trump is trying to make that more difficult |
| 1:53.2 | by imposing more sanctions and increasing their collaboration with Israel, Saudi Arabia and UAE |
| 1:59.2 | in the next 10 weeks to try to make it as difficult as possible for Trump to be able to rejoin |
