the, the, you'll see about the media that goes and the media may google, google. i've got that done, but again, i will stop into that and i'll give you the order. would you, are you able to order that? i'm jo, media dog. currently most people the world wide in search of, of the drum you ever use, minute, they can't mess with the audio, get find out about on the story, inform icons. the

the following statement is being issued at this moment in washington and at 1230 parents time the day january 23, 1973. the agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in vietnam was initial by dr. henry kissinger on behalf of the united states and special advisor, lead octo, on behalf of the democratic republic of the, of not the list most of the vietnam, who, kissinger the diplomat somehow get a victory e. and later we're awarded the nobel peace prize. and i think that has happened to

may and i think live as memo and then there's a lot when they was together with my colleagues in the search for bees in the, in the back of the legal to decline the award saying to us violations the agreements. piece had not yet been established. henry kissinger court would the protest as a way to see me and also, and sent the us and best suited to the price the remaining. instead. this could send you a nixon were sending and power. the down full was for near the slip up happened to meet nixon's presidential campaign. in 1972 republican incumbent was running for his 2nd 10 in order to see him winning was fairly high. but his distrust of his

democratic opponents clauses his judgment. in regards to the little 5 men broke into the campaign office of the democrats at the watergate hotel. they searched the rooms in store bogs and for course, red handed the trail that back to officials in the white house administration. henry kissinger had nothing to do with the break in, at the watergate. let's what water gate was about, use an extra constitutional and criminal presidency. when i became aware of the extent of it, which was very late in the game, i called the old associative nixon who had been advised to drive and said, how could this happen? indeed said some food went into the oval office and did what he was told. the

what's happening system was nick, since i'm doing, proving he knew was the black mile by the watergate, booklets. $1000000.00 makes instead that'd be feasible, even in cash. ready ready okay, need systematic statements. don't know, nick. some of that knew that if somebody's statements about nothing, that you had to go back after a few hours a day, preferably the next day. and you over to him, to give him that chance a but some people didn't just send you an nixon had been victorious in

the past. but the methods of backroom wheeling and dealing had caught up with them . kissinger watched on nixon talked his way into trouble digging his own grave. no prior knowledge of the watergate break. i neither took part in nor knew about any of the subsequent cover up activities. i need or authorized nor encourage subordinates to engage in illegal or improper campaign tactics. that was, and that is the simple truth. the facade crumbled john dean, the official who told nixon about the blackmail testified at that point. the truth about the white house was having system hadn't get come to light everything the john dean was saying, i knew was true. i knew the system. so then i was calling shortly after john dean was called the equipment allowed for

a leg so that no portion of a conversation would be omitted. i knew how much these types meant to richard nixon . i knew how much the secret of the states meant to him, and now i was telling the whole world i was a fan of richard nixon. i've been on his staff for those. for years i felt honored to have been there. and now i was, i was the person who was going to cause great discomfort for him and, and harm to his presidency as the holes case. do you know nixon in the us, a foreign policy process was mounting abroad in october 1973 soon and egyptian slaves israel. the next knew that the young king, who was a direct outgrowth watergate,

with the russians, felt he was so preoccupied as they could do what they did. on the one hand, that was an extremely 10 situation on the other. the. so it as an opportunity to begin a piece, process, kissinger organize the nail is to send minutes for supplies and weapons to israel, a us i lot. when is riley forces successfully and circled egyptian troops, egypt cold on the soviet union fade? if most cars extend its own troops, the middle east conflict will become a showdown. bringing the americans from associates into direct conflict across his teammates in washington to discuss next steps. a full long clash between the 2 superpowers seemed inevitable. when we met on the night, the president was in the residence, general hague, who was his chief of staff, would go from on meeting back to the residence. and i discussed this with the

president. he said he wanted to know or am restored. i said, you know where he stands is locked in, lock stick with that with you. with no question about henry henry was he knows president and a knew what was right next and was not there that evening. from a swelled about his drinking habits that the worst engage investigations were rendering him incapacitated. the why the president decided to absent himself on that evening, isn't the question that i cannot answer. how hague said, you know, go ahead with the meeting. i'll keep you informed. and, and that's what we tell all lies well now, and henry kissinger, and he's in a circle. how would they count of the meshes threatened by the associates? and were what i do remember was it al haig and henry came to the conclusion that we

should raise the sale of the alert level. we send out an order to all of all us forces around the world to put them on alert because we knew the soviets, but would see all of the additional message traffic going out and know that we were serious the united states defense readiness, conditional death. colin was set to level 3, the world was inching closer to a nuclear showdown where the americans bluffing. the soviets got the message and did not send the units to the sun life financial. the deterrent strategy is tristan joe, the former harvard professor, one out what we attempted to do in the next 10 minutes phase was to make more precise calculations of the penalties and rewards that needed to be assembled in age. in each situation

we never had the idea that we would over from other countries with that power. we did that and we always offer it the possibility of negotiation. but we did believe that paula was an important element in international relations among others. wattsey read it to us. ok, are paul no, i think you had the conviction that if he was ready to then they would never have to that's what determines is all about so you have to be ready to use it. if you don't want to use it, if you want to use it, let the other side think that you want then they'll use it with the strength of the us military behind him kissing just leave to the middle east.

the weeks the balance between the capitals of the region, practicing the shuttle diplomacy while everyone around it might be collapsing from fatigue, he was still going on and it use one of the, one of the things that i will remember most was the constance sitting there thinking when is he going to go to bed so that i can get some sleep myself? there were times when we traveled back and forth. 1618 hours a day where you might hit 2 or 3 or 4 different capitals. and one day in the, in kissinger managed to ease the tensions in the middle east, at least temporarily enjoyed some time off. under the watchful eyes of the printer. the aunt

of com, the kissinger had broken a ceasefire in vietnam and established some semblance of peace and then released his reputation as a great statesman of foreign policy, was solidified. that is, plug magic style of politics known as re, all politics was priced to the real project. and the system is you make every agreement that's to your advantage and you discard every agreement. every such agreement, the moment it ceases to be to your advantage, to the degree you're able to do it. that's what makes it real public. you can always do what you want to do in real project, but you have to know how to get the maximum at a beach situation. and models have absolutely nothing to do with. henry kissinger was the architect of

a new american world order. and not every one fish into one example was salvador and a socialist politician. in chile, it all came to a head in the full of 1973 during the war's engaged fate. on the cross. as in the middle east of the story began 3 years earlier, without end as candidacy for the children, the presidency makes some fear that he in day would be a new fidel castro. for nixon. the phenomenon of castro was a particularly because he believed he was defeated in 1960 because of the fact that kennedy was free and to talk about castro that he was being vice president and knowledgeable of what was big. so he believes he was defeated because of testers

existence. then in 1962, he's felt he was defeated for calvin in california because the cuban meta tags, it's of good to prejudge moment of the legs. and so that to prevent the motions of another cast was a degree of face. 2 with an x and then an issue in which he, it was more active than on any other single issue that i dealt with. that it was a mixed nightmare scenario in 1970 and there was elected president with a raised in majority. white house officials got to work to prevent enticing regression or we didn't mind the thought of monday not being elected. he was left, this is some of the recent writings that have come out of the k g b, right out of their files have to confirm that he worked for them was paid by the k

g v. what was your plan regarding solvable again? now this is an issue that one, that you'll view it will have to a to, to read up on because that's a few issues with typing. so it means that i presented my marketing. yes. but to get into it a to briefly put the face of a i did not have a person, i plan on, on what to do about that. and the next is also an issue in which nick some gave direct orders to the intelligence community. although i totally didn't oppose it so well, she's tanya nixon hedwood closely with kissinger to coordinate cuz the plants and foreign policy, including c i o probations the same was true for chilly. next one was determined to prevent the emergence of a 2nd. castro and latin america as

o costs. the intention was to, to find a way that leads and that at the end it technically $18.00. the only add something back. 36 percent of the vote and his next it's a principal opponent. i had one percent less, but if you added the non communist roads to get it, they wrote about 60 plus. that's it. so the federal strategy was to find a divide by which the election could be held between 2 between 2 candidates and santiago, the c. i urge the commander in chief of the chilean army general renee schneider to cool a new election while the constitution afforded him the right to do so. the general refused. he didn't want to interest in politics,

is c. i a backed one group which was uh, designed to build an alternative to do a lendy and provide funds for that alternative. but uh they kidnapped a uh, one of the of the dish military. and general it's not up. yeah. and he was killed in this very stupid thing that they did. but that was not done with the american approval of america. i'm glad i was not an american plan, but it was c. i, a funded therefore they were responsible in terms of many of our legislators use. estimation of general schneider did not present a young days, no gratian. and so the battle began on, on even plain ground, without e and a in south america, a nixon in north america. the mix was determined to make

life as difficult as possible for chiles. the president, the again, they wanted to nationalize us corporations. it was a struggle from a file. i think we gave some sort of of assistance to, uh, to workers who were going on strike for this or that or the other and so on. just to increase the problems that i and he had in the governing the country. there was a lot of what i call covert activity done by the shuttle intelligence agency. and there had been some previous, hist start the events in latin america where that activity was quite successful. and it wasn't in the nixon administration is actually in the eisenhower administration or earlier administrations were covert action brought about

a successful outcome. preventative, the economy is take over that happened in brazil on occasions that happened to guatemala. and so that was the kind of activity that she i was looking at. and we had special organizations to deal with the corporate actions are pursued to american policy. and while approach to industry responsible for corporate actions, the c i a is under the general control of the national security council. so it forces sponsibility while he's certainly certainly played a role. yes, of course. just seeing i finance chilion opposition groups which wielded every mistake made by a young a socialist government to their advantage. the result was massive unrest on this

task. and as adversaries knew, they could rely on us to put the pressure on again, they mounted until it had become practically unbearable. they had committees that worked and considered these plans that were be proposed perhaps by the c i a or the pentagon to take some action, which was colbert and nate nature, what was henry customer as well? he was a member of the committee chair that committee i believe at that time under the, the system that was set up a, a burden. meaning it had a car garage is had to be agreed to by all of the departments and the framework. so you have to coordinate these actions. now i coordinate to him, but be sure everybody agreed to. we don't know what, what personal conversations took place because a lot of those conversations are still classified. a lot of those transcripts were never released. but we know that he was very aggressive in inner agency meetings

and in transmitting nixon's orders to the c, i a to, to do something about a year and a yes. and that he was, was very vigorous and carrying out the president's orders. as control sits away from the julian government, a group of military leaders decided to stay to the 5 digit some that you need if possible in the presidential palace. the i can only give us 37 responsible to put that in the subject and not to get into the fine points and mix representations that have been a a that have categorized fixed bed. for that, let me ask more general question. truly was

a southern state. why was it important for the united states at this time too? because we had just seen methods put into cuba in 62 and in that very month and so gets that money in bays was being built in uh in 1040 it goes in cuba coast uh latin america out to, you know, it was in near civil condition sensitivities was as it had been in previous administrations, this was not an invention, the president that's as president kennedy and johnson that would suit exactly the same quality. uh only uh they had done it more effectively in the electoral period. and that was the issue. as far as the, the concept,

but there is as much as i'd say in the subject. so there's no sense pursuing it. over to a young day was found data on september. the 11th 1973 was unclear, of his death was a mode or suicide. kissinger and nixon, both are bare, some kind of in direct responsibility for the death, not only the death of a and a but all of the casualties of that to that was that that crew was essentially made in america and the encouragement to the chalet and military the, the green light that we gave them in so many different ways as well as the very material aid that we gave them was responsible for the uh, the awful refreshing of the country for years to come. yes, of course, they bear responsibility off to the crew and the young days, this general of coastal tennessee edited military dictatorship thousands

of citizens were arrested, tortured and made to disappear his laser in 1976, henry kissinger flew to santiago, accordion encounter with general strategy and human rights was to conducted with a policy of engagement. that is to say that we talked to a, we used our influence with federal trade to bring about the, the leads of prisoners and the to, to human as his conduct to singers re all politic was, was, i would say immoral. yes. there was a deliberate ignoring of what a country did inside its boundaries are only criterion for judging it as our friend

or foe was what its foreign policy was. there was a deliberate, a blind eye turn toward how it treated its own citizens. and i think that often amounted to violations of international law. human rights was an alien concept to kissinger and can look at it 30 years later from the, from the purchase of a, of a different approach. instead, 2nd guessing to conversations. but if you read my conversation, if it's been or j, you can say on the one end i was to provide to them. on the other hand, you can also say that the only conversation that i've had with them, that 4 fifths of it concert and human rights, if it was put in a very polite way, and not in a confrontational way. so that would have to be touched up, but it's not a subject of it. not available to the headlines

depicted henry kissinger as more than a politician. he rose to a halt, stall level of fame, and enjoyed his life in the line life, especially when women were around, she understood star power and the power of celebrity and used it very effectively, especially because he was around people who were otherwise great. and he really knew how to use, how them know, he always used to say that that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. that by being popular people are attract when he goes to the they were mentally jealous of. you know, here are these hard working during married families. great had marriages over 10152025 years old. they were considerably little bored with them, or here's henry gallivanting around their age for delegating around. going out with a beauty like joe st. john's going out with other women to figure because i've

always believed that henry, in a way, had an inferior already complex. and that one of the things that drove him to be so good and everything you did was in fact that underlying in securing the, the full of 1973. nick some gave to singers that controlled secretary of state. months later he got married for the 2nd time to a small wealthy woman, also working in a political spirit. afterward, the reaction in the jewish community was very, very unpleasant. in many ways. was bad enough that he must burying a gentile. but worst of all, what's that? it was on a saturday. he sent you a deposit to his honeymoon with nancy, the press tact. hello. finally getting married, how,

how something wasn't really very famous. you believe that these last more of a mistake and faith positively bachelor, very grateful. thank god for when he got married was that he went home at night and i didn't have to stay there until 10 o'clock at night every night cleaning up after him or whatever. so i was terribly grateful when they got married it was allowed to do not last long. in

washington, the watergate scandal spread and reached kissinger suppose security device or, and secretary of space, he had more power than ever before. but an old story concerning kissing, just as he dies in the administration. resurfaced, it was about the secret bombing of cambodia and how the funds of close associates and generalists was subsequently termed. for all the many differences were kissinger nicks and kindred spirits had become similar and the mistrust would kissinger survive his own water gaze. we found out kissinger the so called plumbers, ah, who conducted these wire taps, had worked under a deputy to kissinger. that the wire tap conversations had gone to have gone to kissinger. and this was in operation that,

that was very much centered around the is office. the bad stuff about them all the ugly stories, the wire dropping, the particularly ugly stuff in chile with i ended the this that all the terrible stuff came out bit by bit over the years and inspired the norm is wrapped in the members of the left who are looking for a villain. and he then became dr. strange low for a lot of people. on one of his frequent trips across the atlantic, kissinger decided to push back. during the press conference, insults spoke, his face down, his critics. the press got to know a different side of kissinger. one was more direct and further is charming. implicated that my office was spending its time reading. salacious reports about subordinate is a symptom of the place in his atmosphere. that is now characteristic of

a public discussion. i do not believe that it is possible to conduct the foreign policy through lighted state. under these circumstances, when the character and credibility of the secretary of state is it is. and if it is not clear to the secretary of state, kissinger did remain in office, even as president nixa stood on increasing the shaky ground. one day he's going to resign the next day was not that he was and then he was in and you know, he knew that he couldn't govern on august the 7th, 1974, which next summer resigned old allies last month had caught up with him waiting too heavily on him, but the phone nixon announced the news to the public, a cold, his loyal aid for final tools. he called me

after dinner, asked me that come over and they went all alone. and he had told me a few hours before that it would reside that he would resign the next night. so be sure he has to review every student phone and buddy see what that being a james. and he was of course, extremely difficult. and that's it. to him that history would treat him more kindly than it's contemporaries. and he, typically, like somebody said, it depends who that is. so when i left, he suggested whichever it was perfectly natural. what's

the end of a man's public 30th? when kissinger returned to his office, the phone, right? the president was shell shocked. kissinger reassured the president. but if you were to ever talk about the amazing, it would be with the utmost respect. because the wire tapping system was still installed in the white house. there was reportedly a highly personal type of nixon's cool. i made sure the tape didn't go anywhere. could you describe this? no, i never, i just, i don't, i don't know where it is now and i never listen to you never listen to. i did. so what did you do was a tape and never listen to it, to destroy it as it was in it, you know, it was obviously so intensely personal that yes i did destroy

the, it was the end of a presidency and historic looking relationship. make sense to pa and she was critical of the case of jeff because it meant he'd lost his most important shield from public criticism as new boss present, jones for with not just fill that role. i had been used, as i said earlier about the media in pod as an alibi for the hatred of nixon, but that safety net disappeared. and in fact, i became as a survivor of the nixon period in natural tacket. and it was easier to do a tech forward through me so that was a good. so i became

a normal political ticket. justin normal secretary of state accompanying his new president on the normal state visit to indonesia. but at the end of 1975, the states and chicago were unusually high. portugal had just ended its colonial rule in neighbouring east timor, sparking on rest president, so harsh i planned to invade the peninsula. how with the u. s. react? well, i had to be with a at the indonesian store that state would probably move into the table and it is over the present. it is if we could have stopped the learning of the stuff that they did, that's good, but up it's sort of approval and the so the 0 did that, similar to the indians taking go, but it was not

a very well considered. this came up in the car, i unexpectedly, the gun was a most of it was handled but by president ford. and again, if you read the actual text of that conversation, it was about 5 minutes were devoted to secret minutes of the meeting revealed indignation president. so harsh over us can afford increasing shift for support. we want your understanding if we deem it necessary to take rapids or drastic action. we will understand and will not press you on the issue. we understand the problem you have and the intentions you have. you appreciate that the use of us made arms, could create problems it's important that whenever you do succeeds quickly, we would be able to influence the reaction in america. if whatever happens after we

return this way, there would be less chance of people talking about it in an unauthorized way. the president will be back on monday at 2 pm jakarta time. no sooner said than done. just fish reports of the bloody invasion into h t mobile, broad cost on us television. just 15 hours after the politicians return. kissinger and forward would have had to have said at that point you must not do this. we will, we will embargo you, we will, you know, we will cut you off, but of course he didn't get anything like that. he got a nod. the throughout his career, henry kissinger experienced both triumphs and to state the one to face in particular, still whole to see and the you with even decades late. so the cycle and south vietnam in april 1975 inches piece of equipment was moved.

the north vietnamese top cycling americans and south vietnamese us frantically just the city. the the chest of drawers for the cartridge and remains to this day were conscious of the effect that every time the united states pulls out of the country, leaving under finished foreign policy commit behind. it makes it more difficult to next to get some country to commit itself to a joint venture with the united states. the cost of chain, which included ford's cheapest off donald rumsfeld, was on high list use down to viet nam, suggested impending chaos. the officials to base interest to us should respond with bones of better to withdrawal account to our tech talk to him and i should just say

he's going to pop. we have to do some shit at all. you'll have to talk to the present. there were some tensions between henry and forge not present for himself, but his people the default as to all this effort. to least we could do the south destination with all the infections, was not to cut off. hey, you understand why could never sent troops back in the office who wished we could have bob in response to hand, always violations of the ceasefire? i think every kissinger and had it been possible would have taken action. i have no doubt about had it been positive to

us leadership was divided. it had snuggled into an untenable situation on the other side of the world. kissinger and forward needed to make a decision at one point when, when it was beginning to collapse, i can remember talking with henry and he said, or is this? it's gone too far. we can salvage it, it is best now that we get out as, as quickly as we can when april 30th, 1975, the last american troops left fitness people. but the, i think the non, his cast a shadow of the american policy ever since. now unfortunately, that the same the same issues that arose in the context of vietnam have been

renewed in the context of a rack. there are some parallels but they are not really substantive similarities substantively very different. this, in a logical struggle it's, it's deep towards global potential, which is far more serious than the vietnam. i'm very much afraid that the sense of failure in the rack will, will do for the next 25 years. what the sense of failure in vietnam did for the last the limits to a will power, time and time again to since you had succeeded in pushing them as far as they would, the the controversial diplomatic lead the us down towards. it should never go into full but the say you in viet nam, held them nearer to them. there's just limitations. at least temporarily. if you

only deal with the elements of the current situation, you're doing the stagnation and you're the only complex it is not overdoing. it is . and so the odd of statesmanship is to have objectives that are at the limit of what's inside its capacity. if they go beyond the limits, then they will fail if they don't reach the limits, then when it's not reached or bunch of acute it is and how did balances is that that that needs to be understood? i think that's something i've learned in my experience, or henry kissinger, his tenure, a secretary of state, ended in 1977. it is decisions and doctrines continued to shape the united

states and the world to this day the, to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective. germany is facing a budget process following an emergency spending freeze, the was todd largest economy is in trouble. on to the point we are discussing today . problems made in germany. no more money for the future. to the point. in 13 minutes on the w, the
