specialist of some central executive authority, and this same story, it also affects the work of the nscthat is, from my point of view, now the nsc. overloaded with the number of declarants, and that's enough it would have been a long time ago to introduce a risk-oriented approach in the sense that there are different requirements for the accuracy of declarations, their publicity and so on, depending on how high a position it is, that is, there is no point in simply listing all the leaders , accordingly , the public sector will move from top to bottom, i.e. first... top officials, and in and precisely in the declarations of top officials will look for a sharp increase there, well, a change in the property status of nastia, although, taking into account the fact that we have some sectors of the economy have grown significantly, then from my point of view, of course, the most interesting thing would be the appearance of fortunes in enterprises, which in one way or another can be involved in ensuring the country's defense capability. thank you, mr. taras , for joining the broadcast, taras k

soundbite on it last week, but i want to play for you what mike allen -- michael allen said, former nsc member said about where this should go. get your reaction. >> it's not just by the way a destroyer in the red sea that could get targeted and we would lose a number of sailors, it's air base, u.s. embassy in iran, one of these days, one of these rockets is going to hit a hall and vessel and then president biden will have to go heavier than he is now. better to do it now to deter these type of strikes than wait. jacqui: what does deterring it now look like? what does that look like? >> deterring now would be striking iranian assets at sea, would be striking houthi assets in yemen. we have done this in 2016, strike their radars, strike their gun batteries or striking an irgc base, islamic revolutionary guard base inside of iran and you're scaling up there, and you're scaling up that you're sending a message but you can scale up even further, okay. sending a message, doing something that's offensive four times now we've bombed these basically empty buildings in iraq and syria, primarily

information sharing the exact location with the houthis so they can launch drones and rockets at the ships nsceeply involved in planning the operation. even providing some of the weapons joining me is jim hanson. chief editor of the middle east forum. jim, how dangerous of a moment is this right now? >> iran has been escalating all of the recent malevolent acts. all of the strongs from their terror pup pets go back to tehran. hamas, hezbollah, the militias in iraq and syria, they have had all of them attacking both us and israel. now, they have activated the houthis, another one of their farm teams, and they are taking attacks at shipping in the red sea. which is an intolerable situation. we will have to do something about this. now we have got all these ships having to go around the horn of africa, which is 40% farther. that's not something the united states can tolerate. >> so, to your point, jim, the leader of the houthi movement delivered this morning to the united states on wednesday, watch this. >> we will not stand idly by if the americans with tempted to further tool foolishness by tar

with that, we bring in john kirby nsc coordinator for strategic matters.does secretary of state mean by you don't have the credit for a month's long war, john. >> i can't confirm he said that and i wouldn't talk about private conversations anyway. president biden and secretary blinken have been clear, we will support israel as they fight against clearly genocidal threat posed by hamas. assistance is still flowing, even though the pause has been lifted and we're not able to get humanitarian assistance in near the scope we had hoped. >> martha: blinken says you can't operate in southern gaza the way you did in the north. you said that, too, if you are not willing to back up what he said, clear translation here, you have also said this. but the question becomes, if israel goes its own way in the south, which looks to be underway, what will the white house do? >> what i said publicly and secretary blinken, too, we want to make sure that as israelis pursue operations in the south, they have done so in full acknowledgement of the extra burden to take care of the

cash patel was on the nsc and served briefly as chief of staff of the pentagon and here's what he hadon steve bannon's podcast earlier this week. >> we will go out and find the conspirators and we would go after the people in the media who lied american citizens and helped president biden rig presidential elections and we'll come after you. >> i know cash very well. let me talk about what i think he was talking about -- >> you talk like the university of pennsylvania president. [ laughter ] we know in 2020 that there were massive pieces of evidence that were suppressed by collusion between the national security state in this country -- >> you're talking about the hunter biden laptop story. the reason that it was suppressed on social media, for a day or two on twitter. >> millions of americans and there have been studies on this and didn't see that story if there hadn't been that collision between the technology companies and members of the media who had security clearances and these people were using the trust acquired over a lifetime of public service and -- >> so you agree with cash

i asked the nsc spokesperson, john kim e by, last month in the press briefing room if the president willey wouldn't put labels on it, officially is what he's saying. but the fact is that a iran is giving drones, ammunition to russia to keep the war going there, iran is selling record amount of oil to china, giving them the cheapest energy. so, bill, are we seeing a new world order forming with those countries? >> well, we're seeing the threats materialize. i think a lot of it has to do the biden policy has been weak, and weak is provocative to aggressors. and they're taking advantage of it. i want to say one other thing. a lot of the battles now are between america and proxies, mainly iranian proxies. in israel, in iraq and is and so forth. you know, in a way proxies are better enemies than talk talking on the main person. it's a lot easier to be really tough with the proxies than to go after, you know, their sponsor like iran. reagan fought the cold war largely against proxies. he armed the afghans in afghanistan against the soviets, backed the contras and so forth all around the world.

., i want to bring in ambassador dennis ross, former special assistant to president obama and nsc senior director for the region and he's also met with some of the families of the hostages. ambassador, great to talk to you once again. talk me through what you heard from the families of the hostages still being held in gaza. what did they tell you? >> i won't surprise you that they're focused very heavily on 73 days. they're deeply concerned about the conditions of the hostages, worried about those who have been injured and whether or not they have gotten any care, almost a sense of understandable desperation about how much longer this goes on in terms of people there being able to survive. they know that they've heard from hostages who have been released about the conditions, the treatment. so there's a deep passion and concern. and obviously the fact that three hostages somehow escaped but then were tragically killed by israeli forces. all this weighs on them. they want to know that the world isn't forgetting, that these were people who were kidnapped, these are all innocents. it's very

. >> martha: let's bring in john kirby, nsc coordinator for strategic communication.heard the president there with that admonishment. be more careful to the idf. >> i wouldn't call it an admonishment. this is a consistent message that we've had for many weeks now. the understanding of their need and right and responsibility to go after hamas and these leaders that perpetrated this terrible attack on october 7. at the same time like any modern military doing what they can to reduce civilian casualties. both can be done, both are important. as you heard the president say, we're continuing to urge both. >> i'm hearing jake sullivan talked about how we're now in the middle of the high intensity phase. there's a transition that will be more targeted. i haven't heard that from israeli leadership in terms of making that shift. so tell me about where the divide is between the white house and where israel is at this point on the focus. whether or not -- we've given $10 billion to israel the last several years. if it's not carried out the white house wants it to be and more car

she also worked at the nsc and at the treasury department. quite the rÉsumÉ and thank you for joining us. what do you make of this new round of cease-fire negotiations and hostage talks? are we optimistic that a deal could be struck, or we just holding our breath waiting for them? >> i personally am optimistic a deal could happen because you see now leaders traveling to cairo. you see qatar and the united states pressing on this and emphasizing the importance of it. and obviously i'm pleased about it because it focuses on the release of hostages that should be a priority. it'll allow more humanitarian aid in and take the temperature down in the region all together which you especially need given the houthi militants who are attacking vessels in the red sea and tensions increasing over there, so i am hopeful that doesn't mean i expect it in 24 hours negotiating with hamas. and this truce would include other palestinian islamic leaders because also palestinian islamic jihad, for example, holds hostages as well. and when you're talking about neg

here is what john kirby, a spokesperson for the nsc, told my colleague, kristen welker this morning,eet the press. >> well, there are no official negotiations going on right now, kristen. that's because hamas failed to come up with yet another list of women and children that could be released. we know they're holding additional women and children, not combat, snot female idf soldiers, in a sense civilians, women and children they have that they couldn't put on the list and turn that in. unfortunately, the negotiations have stopped. that said, what hasn't stopped is our own involvement trying to get those back on track and trying to discuss with those partners and all those interlocutors to see if we can't get it back in place. >> meanwhile, as the humanitarian crisis worsens, some relief has arrived in gaza. it is not enough. the palestinian red crescent says 100 aid trucks were able to enter the enclave through the rafah crossing with egypt, containing water, food, medicine, and other supplies. for more on this, i'm joined by raf sanchez and tel aviv. the situation very kinetic on t

richard goldberg, senior adviser for the foundation for defense of democracies and foreman white house nscught down. can we do it? >> we absolutely can, and we were actually on the way to doing that as of the end of 2020. remember, iran came into 2021 with just $4 billion in accessible foreign exchange reserves. it was on the restreet. instability was on -- retreat. instability was on the rise inside the country because of the economic and political pressure. military deterrence had been restore thed after the killing of soleimani. the israelis had been taken out, the godfather of the nuclear weapons program as a well. but then maximum pressure disappeared and replaced with maximum deference. and so we need to get back to that posture of putting iran on defense, not allowing iran to play offense. david: you know, i want to talk about the maximum deference or appeasement that we get from the biden administration, but the people of iran, i just can't imagine that the people of iran support this regime and what it's doing around the world, turning it into a pariah state. there was a time when

secretary of defense robert mcnamara and nsc advisor walter rostow asked dr. kissinger to make one more attempt. the north vietnamese response, and i quote, there is no reason for us to talk again. what we soon learned was that hanoi was planning a massive, all out assault throughout vietnam. a sledge hammer blow designed to shatter the north vietnamese army. and for them hopefully to drive the united states out. on january 30, 1968, hanoi launched its tet offensive. it was much more massive than the cia or our military leadership had anticipated. president johnson and virtually all of us around him were shocked. the north vietnamese and the viet cong attacked 36 of vietnam's 42 provincial capitals and five of its six largest cities. thousands were killed. but united states forces prevailed and won in every single battle, including a messy battle at way. despite his best efforts and the efforts of the french millimeter, harry, the kissinger, paris channel, which was codenamed philadelphia, was killed as well. in my opinion, no. two man show wanted an honorable

i mean, the nsc didn't exist. the was well, forgive me, i oversimplified, but i guess my my point would so be that when when leon panetta came in as a result of an interview in effect, that was led by hillary and robert reich, all of the all of bill clinton's close advisers, or many of them, you know, leon and omb director like jack, didn't want to be chief of staff. they had to basically take him to camp david and lock him in a cabin until he agreed to do it. but when he did, he really the clinton white house around in my view? no, i don't i don't disagree that. and he also continued to be omb in some ways. we had a conference on that here a few years. yes, we did. it. lessons for the future. it's very i think that, you know. yeah, the point about the basic structure from the nixon years enduring i think is very true but every president is different in terms of what their temperament is, what their i mean joe biden was in the obama administra he's a different person. there's different way of briefing him. it's a
