how legal this enrichment and purchase of expensive things is. the way things are, well, actually the nscors the lifestyle of people's deputies, and the compensation mechanism, at the moment it provides for only one limitation, it does not concern the wealth of the people's deputy, that he does not have his own home in the capital, or does not have a residence permit in the capital or in in a 30-kilometer radius around kyiv, and in the previous convocation we recorded such violations, and just last week there was news that... sab reported the suspicion to the former to the people's deputy of the last convocation about receiving illegal compensation, because the people's deputy received 5 years of compensation according to the version of the investigation and at the same time hid the presence of his own apartment in kyiv. according to the monitoring of the people's deputies in this convocation, at least none of the people's deputies who are compensating do not have their own housing in the capital, so we did not record such a violation in this convocation. you just mentioned that. that the

long time ago, when i was in the government, on the nsc, the ambassador kim was at the embassy in koreahe is later became held many senior positions. deputy national security adviser as well as director, former director of the national intelligence service. we will also have a chance to have a conversation with richard johnson, who is the deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear and countering weapons of mass destruction policy. so our good friends there be a public session that follows that. so all good friends, very important issues these days. and the u.s. korea relationship falling on from a series of very successful summit meetings. the state visit of april 2023, the camp david summit that the trilateral summit that followed that. so it's alliance is an all time high, but there are many challenging issues ahead, which we hope to be able to have a discussion about this afternoon. so with that, let me give the stage to our our partner in this effort, chancellor pak tohe of the korean national diplomatic academy. please welcome him. thank you, victor. uh, i'm happy to be back

he was in the nsc with his twin brother. they were whistle-blowers on the first trump impeachment. run against a former green beret. that's interesting. that's the abigail spanberger seat in virginia. she's running as the democratic candidate for governor. a lot of interest in virginia. vaughn hillyard, former congressman david jolly, thanks to both of you. >>> southern texas now bracing for the first major tropical storm of the season that's expected to make landfall soon. we will head to corpus christi next. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports." this is msnbc. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. here's to getting better with age. here's to beating th

i felt that that as i've testified before, that the boland amendment did not apply to the nsc staff. the government, the u.s. government was complying with the letter and spirit of boland. and i thought that was sufficient. i don't misunderstand me. i thought that colonel north would withhold information. there was no doubt about that in my mind. there were a lot of stories in the press that had appeared that i had talked to colonel north about periodic. most of the stories were patently false, and and in error. i thought most of the questions would be about these rather outrageous stories in the press. and i felt that colonel north could knock those stories down by answering the questions truthfully. my question to you is, didn't you put colonel north in absolutely impossible position? how could he answer the questions raised by the resolution of inquiry truthfully, and this is american history. tv's congress investigates series looking at significant congressional style investigations over our history. this week, we're looking at the 1987 iran-contra joint committee hearings. and o

official richard goldberg he was also director of iranian weapons of mass destruction while at the nscg us tonight, is president biden tough enough on the vicious hamas terrorist backed by iran families of eight american hostages spoke out on capitol hill today, here is the update is real says of the 124 hostages hamas still has anywhere from 41 - 43 have died, what do you think of the biden white house. >> the policy has been broken since day one we've been pumping iran the chief sponsor of hamas with billions of dollars since october 7, none of that has changed this by october 7 or the death of three americans killed by every and back proxies and jordan. we have continued to praise the qatari's and power that qatari's even though they harbor and sponsor hamas then we put pressure on the israelis to make concessions at the table, if we understand the hamas took hostages to have an insurance. liz: were having technical difficulties, but turned to congressman buser, what do you think this is about liberating gossip from brutal terrorists to viciously attack women, men and children and n

representation on the trump nsc to make sure they were doing their best job for the president.d it, 1,664 individuals, illegal aliens with links to terrorism caught at the border under this biden white house. officials at all levels are sounding the alarm. this is just happening just a generation after 9/11. watch this democrat, and you're also going to see a border patrol agent about how his hands are tied. watch. >> it's frightening. and we're headed for another 9/11. i predicted that that. i think we should have a secure border, we should know who's coming into our country. we don't. >> -- don't let 'em cross -- [inaudible] elizabeth: so it's striking that far-left democrats wanted to get rid of ice-t and the biden white house is undercutting i.c.e. when i.c.e. is catching these guys. you know, director wray, you know, testified about a human smuggling operation at the southern border with ties to isis. so you remember, victoria, how 9/11 everybody talked about the failure of the imagine if nation, the failure of the part of government officials and their imagination in term

she also worked at the nsc and treasury department.n place since october 7th that the war may expand beyond the borders of gaza. leb knowledge right now is front of mind in terms of concerns. what should we be watching in the coming days as to whether or not this conflict will explode. and if it does, what will that look like? >> sure. you know, i should add, jonathan, i'm not an alarmist. i'm usually quite calm in the middle east crises because i've managed so many of them. and the tensions between israel and hezbollah are very, very real right now. and if something is going to explode, it's going to blow up in the next few weeks or even sooner. and the reason i say that is because tensions have gotten to a boiling point. while it seems like a war of words, you've got grandiose statements coming between hezbollah's leader and israel cabinet leaders particularly far-right leaders where they're threatening war in a sense. thing is you've about 90,000 israeli families displaced from the war who want to return before the school year and t

reaction because last night, eugene vindman who is twin brother to alexander vindman, he was also on the nsc at the time. he won his democratic primary in his virginia congressional race. both the vindman said raise concerns over the call. and i just wonder since you are a witness to impeachment proceedings, what do you think about the ukraine call incidents spring vindman to run for office? >> well, that's obviously his personal call, whether he wants to take an office in politics and odd and congratulations to him for winning his primary. i know eugene and alex both i think that the problem of that whole episode of 2019 was that ukraine became an issue of domestic politics in the us. both parties using it to beat each other up for domestic political reasons. and i don't think that serves us national security interests. i don't think it serves ukraine's interests because ukraine actually is facing a serious threat, a serious aggression by a much larger neighbor. they are fighting to defend their freedom, their families, their homes, they need help to do that. and it's frankly in our interes

she also worked at the treasury department and the nsc. let's talk about the cease-fire deal.ysis of that, and from what you know of the region, do you think hamas even has an incentive to ever get to yes for a cease-fire? >> so you're asking such a good question because ultimately what we're seeing play out in the public here is what happens when you negotiate with a terrorist group. and the united states knows that and israel knows that. at the end of the day you're not talking about a rational state actor. terrorist groups are group of thugs and criminals who have literally have nothing to lose and we've already seen hamas' leader come out and say multiple times. there's been multiple references the latest leaked correspondence where they were saying, sinwar is saying they have them right where they want them. the problem when you deal with and negotiate with terrorist groups and this is the problem for any situation is they might agree to something but then they turn their back on it, and that's because they will stomp their feet and do whatever they need to do in order to

earlier today, i asked nsc spokesman john kirby whether the president shared that view.ere's what he said i have no doubt that they'll discuss a range of issues important to the nato alliance. >> and clearly that means supporting ukraine and clearly that means trying to make it harder for russia to be able to murder and slaughter innocent ukrainians and destroy ukrainian infrastructure. and the chinese because of the support that they're providing to the russian defense industrial base. certainly bare hand and helping mr. putin do that this is just one of the many meetings that stoltenberg is holding with allies. >> he travels personally to each country to meet face-to-face with the head of state that will the representing that country at the summit. so certainly meeting with president biden is a critical ally to reach consensus, but stoltenberg still has more work to do. do before mid-july, guys all right. >> kayla tausche. thank you for the report from the white house for us let's discuss this important meeting joining us now is seeing a national dirty analysts, beth s

are underestimated think at what george kennan wrote at the beginning of the cd war if you look at nsc 68 60 also early in the cold war truman administration and to draw a line all the way through the end of the cold war really with a strategy of the reagan administration those administrations were not seeking a those strategies did not call for a stalemate. they call f the sources of soviet aggression we should be doing the same with respect to china. >> thanks, matt. to the benefit of doubt that the night a chance to exchange views o foreign affairs courtesy of our wonderful editor dan who i think is lis maybe i'll turn out to bridge. i think he slightly different position from that on the question of end-state. i think you set tng like maybe they thought but from a position of strength. i guess my question for you would be with a det stable? implicit that in your articulation it would not be stable. what does the content of that meet you? what is owed like a bride >> x russian thanks for including the and congratulations on y off your. my goo good friends matt and mike, his peace wi

speaker is someone i've worked with for many years, long time ago when i was in the government in the nsc,ater becameior positions like national security advisor and former director of the national intelligence service. we will also have a chance to have a conversation with richard johnson who is the deputy defene for nuclear and countering weapons of mass destruction policy. all good friends and there will be aall good friends, important issues these days in the u.s.-korea relationship following on from a series of successful summit meetings, state visit of april, 2023 at camp david summit that the trilateral summit that followed that. the alliance is at an all-time high but there are many challenging issues ahead which we hope to be able to have a discussion about. with that, let me give the stage to our partner in this effort, chancellor pak to hee academy. [applause] >> thank you, victor. i'm happy to be back at the cfius after three years. i always feel comfortable■s and intellectually challenged when i come back and i'm always ef victor. when i came into the csi is building again, o

let's hear what john kirby, nsc communications coordinator, had to say.object on the territory russian federation. let's listen. the us has told ukraine it can use american-supplied weapons to defeat any russian forces attacking across the border, not limited to the kharikov area, us officials said. national security adviser jake sullivan said this week that the agreement with ukraine on the shooting. american weapons in russia extend to any place where russian troops cross the border to try to capture more ukrainian territory. russia has signaled in recent days that it could soon move toward the northeastern city of sumy, which is also close to the russian border. if that happens, those policies will apply there, sullivan said. well , that is, in fact, against any point in our country, since the attack is coming from different sides, tonight there was almost a record. the number of ukrainian drones shot down over our territory, the ministry of defense stated that there were 114 of them, of which 70 were over crimean black sea, 43 above the krasnodar terr
