This information coming from irans governmentrun media. An Iranian News Agency reports pictures from the scene show chunks of the scientists car littering the street near tehran. The windshield full of bullet holes. Now iran is pointing the fingers at its top foe israel. Benjamin hall reporting live on this. Benjamin . Yeah, rick. This is a major blow to the Iranian Nuclear program. Multiple known as the father of the iranian bomb and reportedly been on a hit list for many, many years. This is something that pompeo and netanyahu have mentioned by name and today he was ambushed in a wealthy suburb outside of tehran. The attackers reportedly blew up a truck as he passed by with his body guards. Then five of them got out and opened fire on his car. It is a remarkably audacious, sophisticated operation in the heart of iran. The Iranian Foreign minister is already blaming israel and an adviser to Supreme Leader khomeini said the u. S. Is seeking war adding that iran would quote descend like lightning on the martyr. The series of attacks struck at the heart of the Irans Nuclear program amid fresh concern about the increased amount of enrich you had uranium that iran is producing. Just a few days ago Israeli Defense forces were told to get ready for a possible u. S. Strike against iran before the end of President Trumps term although there is no intelligence of one just under a year ago assassinated absolutely. Many said the two country stood on the brink of war. Whether iran retaliates now remains to be seen. Certainly if iran did retaliate it would make it harder for the Biden Administration to rejoin the jcpoa. Iran wants so bad sanctions relief. Many allies do not want that israel and saudi arabia want quite the opposite. Rick . Rick Benjamin Hall in london. Thank you. For more on this bring in Fox News Contributor dan hoffman a former cia station chief who served in moscow iran and pakistan. Thanks for being with us. Iran as we know has been threatening israel for years. Benjamin mentioned how netanyahu had spoken repeatedly about the dangers of irans numerous larr program and mentioned scientist by name. Fingers pointed at israel accurately . Well, it certainly fits the m. O. That israel has reportedly used in the past. They conducted kinetic strikes reportedly on four, at least four Iranian Nuclear scientists between 2010 and 2012. And remember just recently again israel was suspected of conducting a kinetic strike on al divides number two in an upscale neighborhood in tehran al masri. Certainly, i know, within the realm of high suspicion there that israel is behind this latest strike. Rick would the white house have known about this in advance . I think i would say with some high level of confidence that israel would have advised the white house in advance because of the concern concern that u. S. Installations would have been immediately at risk after this sort of a strike took place that they would have wanted to give us a heads up. Its will the not beyond the realm of possibility. Again, i dont have the sources to confirm any of this, that the United States might have assisted in some form or fashion with geo spatial Location Information or other intelligence. Rick that sort of leads into my next question is how difficult would it have been to carry out a targeted killing like this . Well, its a great challenge to go behind enemy lines as israel again has reportedly done on a number of occasions. But thats what their Intelligence Services do. They are very capable and for them, iran is an existential threat. You know, there is a couple of ways to deal with Irans Nuclear program. One is through diplomacy and israel would argue that hasnt worked very well because iran is enriching uranium and stockpiling low grade uranium at levels way beyond the levels allowed by the jcpao nuclear deal. The other is kinetically. Targets irans scientist or infrastructure that would be Nuclear Facilities or place at natanz, for example. Rick what impact might this have taking out their Top Nuclear Scientists, reportedly. What impact would this have on their Nuclear Program . This would have a significant impact. He was reportedly responsible for the Nuclear Program and when you eliminate him, that can have an impact on how well they are going to be able to continue to develop their Nuclear Program. We still have to worry about their Ballistic Missile program and obviously there is a lot of other Nuclear Scientists in iran to be concerned about. But, make no mistake, that this is going to increase the leverage for the United States in terms of our effort to induce iran to go back into compliance with the jcpoa. And the last thing i would think this administration would want to do and i dont think the Biden Administration will be able to do this either is to give iran what they are demanding. Which is that all the sanctions be lifted and that they be paid for in compensation for the sanctions that we mounted against them over the last couple of years. That just frankly is not in the cards. Rick dan, as you know, israel has said for a long time now that iran is much further along than the world has said they are. Iran publicly saying they are. Israel is legit worried about how close iran might be to a nuclear weapon. So, sounds like you are saying that there is more ahead. This isnt the end of it in terms of taking out kin at the time physically people connected to their program. Right. Thats certainly possible. And lets also remember its not just israel its also the uae and saudi arabia and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met just last week with mohammed in saudi arabia and you can bet one of the key elements they discussed was their counter iran strategy. And so that was certainly a major factor in the decision by uae in bahrain to sign those Abraham Accords which was extraordinary diplomatic break through and its something certainly countering iran that drives together foes israel at sunni states. Rick all right. Dan. We appreciate your insight and hope you have a terrific weekend and all the best to you. We will continue to follow this story. We are also tracking several new reports outs of north korea including that cyber attack on reseverance at astrazeneca. Getting word of dictator kim jong uns dramatic and deadly actions over covid fears in his country. The concerns over his reports of his, quote, irrational behavior and recent executions. Also, as joe biden pieces together his cabinet, we are hearing of some candidates said to be on the short list for attorney general.

Among them sources say former attorney general sally yates. New york governor andrew cuomo. Former House Majority leader Stacey Abrams and California Attorney general xavier ba serra. David spunt is reporting live from the Justice Department on, this david . Hey, rick, good afternoon. The moment that President Trump pardoned his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn just two days ago, the Justice Department came back into the spotlight. The reason thats because attorney general bill barr wanted to dismiss the case several months ago back in may. Barr has taken a lot of criticism serving the president s personal interest not searching the interest of the country. Bill barr denied that he says thats not the case. He says he worked for the people of the United States. Now the president elect joe biden will work out of the white house on january 20th. He will pick a new a. G. He says he will run his department totally differently than the current president. He was asked just this week if he will use his doj to go after what will be former or who will be former President Trump. Listen here gri will not do what this president does and use the Justice Department as my vehicle to insist that something happen. There are a number of investigations that i have read about that are at a state level. There is nothing at all that i can or cannot do about that. Some of the other names on the list in addition to how mentioned former Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson. Were hearing, rick, former Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland and former obama Homeland Security adviser lisa monaco. Now what makes this interesting is there are many investigations open in the department of disblawive will continue through to the next administration. One of those is the potentially the john durham investigation. That has not yet wrapped up yet. Thats looking at the origins of the russia investigation. President trump wanted that out before the election. That didnt happen. Thats one of those highly highly politically charged investigations that could carry over to the new attorney general. Rick . Rick we know you will be watching. David spunt in washington. Thank you very much. You bet. Rick more than 6 Million People defied government warnings and took to the skies over the last week. Aaa predicting almost 50 million hitting the road. And now all those folks are going to have to get home. Even as Health Officials warn winter will be tough, americans are pushing back and the Supreme Court temporarily blocking new yorks restrictions on houses of worship in hard hit areas. Ruling they did go too far in limiting seating. That set off some democrats. Former obama adviser ben rhodes tweeting about the new illegitimate 54 Supreme Court majority. Justice Amy Coney Barrett played a key role in that ruling. Lets bring in former u. S. Attorney guy lewis to talk about all of this. Guy, great to see you. Are you seeing a growing resistance to these covid guidelines, first of all,ed perhaps by politicians who keep breaking the rules themselves . For sure, rick, you are seeing in this last opinion by the Supreme Court which came out, what, thursday wednesday night late about midnight thursday morning early early early. It was the equivalent of body slam in terms of some of these guidelines. The majority, five justices on one side, the minority three liberal justices along with chief Justice Roberts an odd combination that we are seeing. But the majority came out and in no Uncertain Terms said the constitution is the constitution you cant limit freedom of worship to 10 people inside church, synagogue or mosque. Rick some of these justices pointed out inconsistencies, allowing businesses to operate without gaps and new york laws unfairly targeting houses of worship. Boy o boy judge neil gorsuch who is a trump appointee, of course, came out and telling me you are Governor Cuomo. He went right at the governor directly. You are telling us, Governor Cuomo, that you can go into a bike shop, can you go no noah a wine seller or liquor store and buy wine or liquor but you cant go into a house of worship and pray and worship its unconstitutional and not going to stand. Rick guy, Governor Cuomo called the conversation irrelevant and a moot point. Boy, he did, didnt he . And i just heard your report saying he may be on the short list for the attorney general. Rick yeah. Its not irrelevant. Its frankly a black eye to Governor Cuomo. And you cant come out look, i understand the pandemic. Everybody does. We have got to be careful. Cautious. Wear a mask, social distance. Do what we are told. You just cant arbitrarily come out and say hey, can you only have 10 people in church this sunday. Its not going to fly. You mentioned judge neil gorsuch, we have a quote from him. He said we may not shelter in place when the constitution is under attack. Things never go well when we do. And he butted heads with the Justice John Roberts as well. The two of them went at it. Yeah. We may be seeing a sort of a break here, rick. A prelude to some knocking of heads if you will because looks, weapons night. Wednesday afternoon, wednesday night churches and sin goings in new jersey filed the same kind of motion. That will go to justice leith who ialito. We saw some churchesf california do the same thing, file emergency petitions that will go to justice kagan. That t. Will be interesting to see how these cases come out. Rick guy, at the beginning we talked about the millions of americans who traveled over this Holiday Weekend even though a lot of officials didnt want them to. Im curious, your last words on how you think america is handling all of these new guidelines and whether or not you think there is going to be more and more push back. Well, i think there will be push back. But, were clearly not out of the woods here. We have clearly got to be careful. We have got to be cautious. Boy o boy. It looks worse and worse every time we see it. But we have got to balance it, rick, with our freedoms in the constitution. Because when we lose them, i mean, government telling us how many people we can have in a church to worship, its just wrong. Rick former u. S. Attorney guy lewis, we appreciate your time. Have a terrific weekend. Yes, sir. Rick thousands of families in Southern California in the dark as strong winds threaten to whip up wildfires.

We have details on whats already been a record breaking fire season. [ engines revving ] its amazing to see them in the wild like th shhh. [ engine revs ] for those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Rick there wont be any reheating thanksgiving leftovers for Southern California<\/a>. Thousands had their power cut off intentionally with high winds threatening to spark wildfires in the southern part of the state. Comey reporting live from santa clarita, california where i understand the winds are pretty bad right now. Hi, rick, yeah. Thats right. The winds are definitely zipping through here this morning early this morning crews were called out to a brush fire in this area. Fortunately it was small and they were able to snuff it out quickly. They are still concerned about more flames popping up in these dangerously windy conditions. Strong santa ana winds are blowing through parts of Southern California<\/a> today. Some gusting up to 75 Miles Per Hour<\/a> try brush and Hurricane Force<\/a> winds in some areas are creating dangerous conditions. Strike teams and extra fire engines are on stand by. People associate fire with the hot summertime but wind is the big driving factor and cold weather means dry wind fire is ready to go in dry wind storms in winter. Utility companies Southern California<\/a> edison shut off electricity to nearly 16,200 customers to avoid power lines parking wildfires in these windy conditions. That number is actually doubled sings this morning about 100,000 customers were put on notice they could lose power. Socal edison closely monitoring the situation. After the weather, we have to have our crews out and actually inspect the lines. And that could take a few hours to six, seven, eight hours. And these gusty winds are expected to last at least through tomorrow afternoon. Fortunately or hopefully, rather, everybody can stay safe. This has already been a very intense fire season this year alone. There has already been 9,000 wildfires here in california rick in. Rick tough year. Hold on to your hat. Thank you.

Dr. Marc siegel on that with the first doe doses now possibly wes away. Not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right. Usaa insurance is made just the way martins family needs it with hasslefree claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. Because doing right by our members, thats whats right. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. Usaa this was the theater i came to quite often. The support weve had over the last few months has been amazing. Its not just a work environment. Everyone here is family. If you are ready to open your heart and your home, check us out. We thought for sure that we were done. And this town said not today. Rick stories making headlines at the bottom of the hour. A federal Appeals Court<\/a> rejecting an effort from President Trump<\/a>s legal team to overturn the Election Results<\/a> in pennsylvania. The threejudge panel ruling the trump teams appeal has no merit. Russias government reporting a drastic jump in moscows covid19 deaths. The capital city seeing more than 300 percent more deaths in october than a month earlier at more than 2,000 dead. Activists have accused the government of hiding how bad the crisis really is putting out videos of lifeless bodies crowding hospital hallways. And a florida woman accused of harassing her exs new girlfriend by sending desperate meth heads to terrorize her at home. Cops say this woman setting up a dating profile that advertised free meth at the victims address leading random junkies to her romantic rivals front door. Now a fox news alert and reports of cyber assault on one of the companys working on a coronavirus crack seen. This from rioters reporting that suspected hackers in north korea have been trying to break in to the systems of drug maker astrazeneca. According to rioters the hackers posed as job recruiters on linkedin sending fake offers to Research Staff<\/a> at the company. The messages contained a midden code that could break into the victims computers. A source says it does not look like the hackers have been successful. This coincides with new reporting from south korea spy network that the spreading virus has the norths dictator in a panic making irrational and sometimes deadly decisions. South korean media reports its led to at least two executions. A total lockdown of north Koreas Capital<\/a> and a ban on fishing. The country insists it has not had one case of the coronavirus. A claim analysts dispute. The journal of science out with a report on some of the side effects of covid vaccines a test subject from moderna says his arms sweat to the size of a goos he will. He says he doesnt know if he got the vaccine or a placebo but he also had a fever of 102. Started shaking and had hot and cold rushes. He says the symptoms went away after 12 hours. Moderna has said its trials showed no serious safety concerns. Lets bring in dr. Marc siegel professor of medicine at nyu alan goon health Fox News Contributor<\/a> and author of covid the politics of fear and the power of science. Dr. Siegel, good to see you. I read the survey that showed roughly half of americans were already reluctant to take a vaccine, stories of side effects im guessing might persuade more people from doing it . The longterm side effects of covid itself is what we worry about. And these two vaccines you mentioned these are transient side effects lasting 24 hours about. Not longer than that they go away completely. Fever, you said, fever in less than 2 of moderna and pfizer. The biggest side effects we are seeing are fatigue. The Moderna Vaccine<\/a> 9 got severe fatigue and half of that in the Pfizer Vaccine<\/a> and headache. 4 in the Moderna Vaccine<\/a>. 2 in the pfizer. So you could see this is a minority of patients that are even getting these side effects. But the issue was brought up. Shouldnt they have been told in advance . And the answer is yes. Both groups the Placebo Group<\/a> and the nonPlacebo Group<\/a> should be told about potential side effects in advance as long as the scientists remain blinded. Well, side effects are somewhat common, right . And it sounds like you are saying these are not particularly severe because they are in a small fraction of the people who get the vaccine. Yeah. Look. The side effects are probably worse than you get from your normal flu vaccine or your shingles vaccine, maybe. But thought a lot worse. And very temporary. And, again, we are dealing with a virus here thats as we have been reporting for months rs, has very severe side effects in high wisconsin groupings. Not only i do want the high risk groups to get these vaccines and healthcare workers and emergency workers consider those around them. So, in other words, i might want people to get this vaccine who wouldnt get severely ill from covid because i dont want it to get into their household at all. We have got to vaccinate everybody across the country. We absolutely have to communicate about these side effects so that people are prepared for them but understand they are in a small minority and they are temporary. Rick and worth it, it sounds like you are saying. Totally. Rick is this the only way to finally get rid of the coronavirus . Yeah. Thats what herd immunity is in this case. Its a wildly contagious virus. The vaccine is what is going to bring us there. Rick, there are several other vaccines in the pipeline. We may end up in the spring with a different vaccine with less side effects. Again, these vaccines, one of the reasons woul you are seeinge effects is because they are so powerful. 95 effective is unbelievable for a vaccine. Very high effectiveness. Thats as high as the measles vaccine. So when you see Something Like<\/a> that, i dont want to say its worth the side effects because i dont want to down pray side effects are minor compared to the great effect of the vaccine. Rick doctor, the president announced today that we could see the vaccines as early as next week. Dolls that surprise you . No. Because the fda has been asked for an emergency use authorization on the Pfizer Vaccine<\/a> and theyre meeting on december 10th. So you may see the approval on december 11th. And then you heard from gus person that, the chief operating officer of operation warp speed who as you know a touch supply officer of the military says give me 24 hours. I expect vaccines to be rolling out at least the pfizer one. It has to be kept extremely cold maybe it seems obvious we are in for a rough winter. Its not Getting Better<\/a> any time soon . We have to distance and wash our hands. We have got to wear masks properly and overcome this fatigue we are getting about covid. Because the end there is light at the end of the tunnel now with these vaccines. The Winter Weather<\/a> is really bad for spreading respiratory viruses and people huddle indoors. All of that is bad and thats why its spreading. Rick hurt. Dr. Marc siegel, thanks very much for that go out and get your vaccines, everyone, as soon as you can.

President trump says he will head to georgia next saturday to campaign for senators Kelly Loeffler<\/a> and david perdue. He is urging his supporters to get out and vote after reports that some folks might boycott because of fraud claims in the president ial race. And Senate Majority<\/a> leader Mitch Mcconnell<\/a> is urging every republican senator to help since these races will decide who controls that chamber. Lets bring in our Political Panel<\/a> scott, the former d. C. Democratic Party Chairman<\/a> and matheson former chief of staff for republican senator mike lee of utah. Good afternoon to you both. Good afternoon to you. There was speculation the president might not make this trip. What impact do you expect he are run off. I think all of the high profile names going into georgia the next coming weeks both the democrats and republican. We will have a little bit of impact and create some awareness. Remember, we are going through Holiday Season<\/a> and big thing is who is best organized on the ground. Who can actually get people to go out and vote in a snrection in the middle of a Holiday Season<\/a>. While the president will have an impact. Former president obama will have some impact mostly to stir things up a little bit. Really this will come down to blocking and tackling and doing the hard work and heavy lifting of campaigning all the way to the end. Rick scott, what about the president elect . We are hearing joe biden is likely to come down and campaign for ossoff and warnock. He certainly will and barack obama and every democrat star and every republican star will be there because the senate is at stake. I will say this. From the democrats view the republicans are in a complete mess in georgia. You have a secretary of state who the Senate Candidate<\/a>s, republican candidate have called for their resignation. And then the trump effect. Well see whether this trump effect is real or not. Whether he has coat tailings even though he lost the election. And, again, he has the way of his constituents that georgia was a rig you had, fake election if you will. How does he go there and urge everyone to vote for the Senate Candidate<\/a> when he has criticized the republican led election process as rigged and fake and not real . He is going to have to thread the line there and i dont know how he does that with any credibility and then will his supporters listen . Will they still listen to him post trumpism . Rick thats a great question, scott. Boyd, i want you to address the republicans being upset over the election. The question on legitimacy of it and how do you get them to vote again . I think the real simple thing will be talking about things like obamacare and a lot of things that happened when president obama had complete control had the house, the senate, and the white house. I think thats what will cause a lot of productions to show up is actually the idea of having the democrats in control of the senate, the house, and the white house. [clearing throat . ] excuse me, i think that will be plenty of motivation to get people out. Its mixed messages. Rick and Republican Fund<\/a> raising, they are outfundraising democrats right now. Of course georgia is a red state. I want you to address that the odds seem to be stacked against you in terms of the money thats been raised and terms of number of republicans who have historically dominated in georgia. Well, thats true. But the republicans are still have a lot of internal conflicts, one. Secondly, the amount of votes between total votes if you will only somewhere between 50 and 100,000 in both races. We have certainly got to make up my that ground. I agree with my colleague boyd. In the end i dont care what political star. I dont care how much money we dump into these races, this is going to be a ground game. Have you got two energized faces. Will they do it again . Will they come out in great record again in a state that is barely blue, still purple but county republicans reclaim it and make it a red state for these senate races . We will have to keep looking at that and see what happens. Rick its remarkably tight. It was remarkably tight in the election. And it looks right now, according to polls, to be remarkably tight going into january 5th run off. Boyd, do you have a feeling about one or the other . You only need to win one of them, really to gain a majority in the senate. Do you have a feeling which one is more likely to win . I think senato senator loeffs probably more likely to pull that off. I think they both end up going republican in the end. As you said, its going to be super tight. And really its going to come down to, you know, who can really get that ground game going, get that moving through there in a big way. I think the other thing to keep in mind, too. Is the American People<\/a> really are fatigued and tired both from the coronavirus and from the election cycle. And the real sad thing is were not going to see a big change anyway. Whether the democrats take the senate or the republicans, you still have the same basic four. You have pelosi, mccarthy, mcconnell and schumer. Great name for a law firm. [laughter] both the democrats and for the republicans to get to new leadership. If we wanted to do Something Different<\/a> in the country, we have got to get different and that starts in the house and the senate. Rick we will have to leave it there. Hang on, scott, im sorry, we are running out of time so we have got to go. We really appreciate you being here on this friday both of you gentlemen. And i know we will have you on again because this story. Thank you. Thank you. Rick this story is not going away.

Rick a top chef in new york city says a lot of restaurants may not survive much longer if there is a second covid shutdown. Amanda coson a chef and owner of dirt candy in manhattan and restaurant coalition. She recently testified in front of congress about how the Industry Needs<\/a> relief money. Amanda, thanks for being with us. How devastating has this been for you and the other restaurants in the city . I mean, it has been completely devastating. Were on our last leg here. We were barely surviving throughout the pandemic. We are probably going to get shut down again which im okay with. You know, its for the greater good. But we dont have any federal aid coming our way at the moment. We dont have aid and we have no resources left in our bank account to withstand. This. Rick you said i read a quote that you didnt build your restaurant for a pandemic. Nobody did. I know i wish i rick now you have got to deal with it . Yeah. And its been going on for a lot longer than we thought it was going to go on for. And there is its just we are in an impossible situation. I dont have any money left in my bank account. I have been open for 12 years. I was a pretty successful restaurant. And now nine months into it i have we are running on empty. Rick were looking at some of the lengths that some of the Restaurant Owners<\/a> have gone to to create seating outdoors. Unlike california you cant really eat comfortably outside in the winter in new york city. I know can you put in heat lamps and all of that eventually you are winding up with a room outside thats a room outside. And i dont know if thats any safer. But, in the meantime, i guess you may not even be able to do that. Well, i mean, fortunately i have been able to do it. But we have to find the money and it costs 20,000 to build our outside huts. And you are right. Its only going to sustain us for, you know, a few weeks more before it gets really cold at the end of december and all of january. I dont think people are going to want to come out and eat then. Rick amanda, the l. A. Shutdown, they said some 700,000 restaurant workers jobs were at stake. Im guessing the number might be even higher in new york city . Yeah. It is much higher. The problem is if we go into a shutdown again without any federal aid. If they dont pass the restaurant act. We are going to shut down permanently. You are going to see hundreds of thousands of restaurants shut down permanently. Those jobs are not coming back. They will be lost forever. When i closed my restaurant. I used employ 95 people now i employ six people. These people are going to lose these jobs forever. They wont have jobs to go back to because all the restaurants are going to be closed. Rick wow. Well, you know, one of the arguments among the restaurants here was that there was no Scientific Evidence<\/a> to even suggest that restaurants were spreading covid. In fact, they had figures to show they were spreading them less than government buildings were spreading the virus. Do you have any evidence to suggest that your restaurants are actually contributing to this and or evidence to suggest that you should be allowed to you stay open . You know, i dont. And i dont have any evidence on either side. I want to do whats right. And so what feels right for me to is follow the guidelines that are being out there which is to close the restaurant for the greater good. Its just a hard pill to swallow when we dont have any aid. Rick im so sorry amanda cohen. I hope you get the relief that you need and everyone else gets the help they need to stay open and survive this pandemic. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. Rick finally, on this friday, an update on a very good dog. Well tell you about do you knod what he did to get one of the highest animal honors. Workflow it. .
