danny and i outraged a gone to this event where henry kissinger was receiving a peace award from the fairs council. of course, given the tender of the times, was impossible for any of the press to get near dr. kissinger. the rest of the press was hobbled by the front door trying to hear what they could. danny and i gave up and we went to the back door and we started talking with the secret service agents would just come back from jamaica, which is a place that danny and i travel too many times and we loved. and all of a sudden, out of the back door, henry kissinger pops in to avoid the press. right in front of us come as close as you and i are now. danny -- one thing i must say, was the most quick on his feet person i ever knew. that was one of his great strengths. so when kissinger popped out danny spread his arms and said "dr. kissinger!" in this wonderfully warm and welcoming tone. so kissinger came, to my astonishment, and bear hugged danny. i was standing behind him. danny, by the way, was miced live said, do you have any regrets? kissinger realized what was going on and he said,

henry kissinger's national security adviser but from september of 1973 on when henry kissinger become secretary of state scowcroft is national security adviser. he is deferential to -- henry kissinger was still often leading in foreign policy but in terms of making the government run in figuring out what policies would kick, this was to quickly scowcroft, a partnership there. >> on the left side of the table. >> larry altman. i believe you said scowcroft was in the nixon administration head of military operations including the medical office. did he have anything to say about nixon's health or drinking? >> he did say that nixon was not a heavy drinker and more reclusive as watergate worsened and hold up by himself and invite kissinger late at night he would give scowcroft bizarre quarters that scowcroft would ignore the next morning. there was a little bit. he came to see this in the book a little bit. there was a dr. jekyll side to nixon but when he was not tendered and secure, there were occasions he wasn't. >> there were other stories that ordered a newing sending out the new expan

henry kissinger do i often say henry kissinger no. the danger of a wash in the heart of europe making the cuban missile crisis and the first cold war that divided 800 number any. >> i hear you at one point do you say the first cold war -- >> you exhaust alternatives. >> even when a country has had its borders violated? >> let's put it this way. the narrative in this situation crimea was an aberration. the narrative is that russia is on the march to the baltics thrts absolutelythere is absolutely no evidence of that, nato activity in ukraine also violating a sovereign country's borders and the u.k. just sent troops last week. now the big debate in this country which i because it has triggered some debate, do we send weapons? president obama for now despite his own party's pushing him has stepped back and said wait, this may lead to more bloodshed. we may be sending arms into the hand of extremist groups, according to amnesty international and others. i think we need to stay cool double down on tough diplomacy exhaust all alternatives.

henry kissinger could read an uncut acquittal number of democrats -- henry kissinger. a small number of democrats to a >> are the moments when you think they are being played? >> as ray said, these are complicated negotiations. there will be trade offs. the u.s. has to satisfy a lot of coalition partners. amongst its partners in the region -- those are a lot of different friends to satisfy simultaneously. it may be there is no set that will satisfy everybody. the u.s. will ultimately have to decide who it can most afford to disappoint. given the conditions that obama has laid out, the consequences he is worried about if it's deal is not achieved the proliferation concern in the region, if that is really the target, he has to satisfy regional partners. >> if the saudis are unhappy, this will not be a happy situation. >> netanyahu made a good point. if the delivery -- deal is not good enough, the proliferation will happen anyway. that said, it is not the terms of the deal itself. it is about the side deals the u.s. can make with them. security guarantees. other provision

i think in the back of john mccain's mind, what if tom cotton pulled this stunt when henry kissinger was driving normalization with china? i think that's where mccain wishes his name was not on that letter. >> kissinger would have put them on the wiretap last, the henry kissinger wiretap list. that's going to have to be it on that. thank you very much. we'll take a break here. coming up, new video introduced in court today showing how one man escaped from the boston marathon bombers, and then how he helped the police close in on the bombers. when healthcare gets simpler. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care. i have a cold with terrible chest congestion. better take something. theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is. here we go! start the interview with a firm handshake. firm, but not too firm. ma

i think in the back of john mccain's mind what if tom cotton pulled this stunt when henry kissinger wasriving normalization with china? i think that's where mccain wishes his name was not on that letter. >> kissinger would have put them on the wiretap last the henry kissinger wiretap list. that's going to have to be it on that. thank you very much. we'll take a break here. coming up new video introduced in court today showing how one man escaped from the boston marathon bombers, and then how he helped the police close in on the bombers. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and c

there was a story of how henry kissinger introduced you to rockefeller. john lehman: [laughter] yes. i had met rockefeller before. he was his vice president so i attended meetings with him and so forth. it was about 8:00 and i went over to the -- my office was in the old executive office building across the street. i went over to the west ring -- west wing to bring something henry asked for, a piece of paper. nelson rockefeller locked in. he and henry were very close friends. they got talking and rockefeller said, "i have to hire a new policy person, i've had such a hard time hitting good staff." i read how you are running the hold government -- the whole government. the nsc staff is making all of the policy in town. where do you find all these good people? kissinger looked at me and said nelson, you have this all wrong. look at lehman here, an irishman with a jewish name. if i had at the other way around i would really have something. henry still has a wonderful sense of humor. it was a great experience working for him. he had a terrible temper, but it w

kissinger era. i want to introduce you to the gentleman who held it happen. winston lord joined the nsc staff at the beginning of the nixon administration during he was one of henry's closest advisers and he works on every aspect of american foreign-policy. he was in and out of kissinger's office several times a day. he helped plan kissinger secret trip to china in 71. he went on to become president of the foreign relations secretary of state and u.s. ambassador to china to richard solomon was a university of michigan professor. kissinger tapped him to join the staff in september 1971. he had a phd from m.i.t. he was a senior scholar at the prestigious rant corporation and spoke fluent mandarin and he accompanied kissinger and general hag on numerous china trips and he was in nixon's 1972 trip to china. derek held senior positions and in the state department, service and asked her to the philippines, written numerous books, and remains one of america's leading sign all adjusts. he is now the senior fellow of the ran operation. next is ambassador nicholas platt. unlike our other analysts, ambassador plat was not on the national security council staff. nick was a car

they detail secretary henry kissinger's visit and nixon's official visit one your later.

he accompanied henry kissinger on numerous china trips. he was a senior scholar at the prestigious rant corporation and spoke fluent mandarin and he accompanied kissinger and general hag on numerous china trips and he was in nixon's 1972 trip to china. he held senior positions and -- in the state department, service and asked her to the philippines, written numerous books, and remains one of america's leaving experts. he is now the senior fellow of the rand corporation. ok. next is ambassador nicholas platt. unlike our other analysts, he was not on the national security council staff. nick was a career foreign service officer. and one of these state department seniors finally just -- scientologists -- sinologists. he was also on the nixon trip. he was the staff assistant to then secretary of state william rogers. he went on to hold senior positions at the department of defense and after leaving government he dealt extensively with the chinese through the last 40 years. finally as admiral jonathan howe , who was a young commander on kissinge

on the other hand, it's possible they did tell henry kissinger and others. there's some indication that kissinger knew about it. this has been somewhat murky. >> my last question is your relationship with henry kissinger -- he was initially madder than anyone else in the oval office? >> the history of that is belied by the case very strongly. i'm surprised to hear you say that. in the book, the first discussion on june 13 between him and nixon -- haven't you seen that? >> i'm sure i have. but wasn't he upset? >> it was a very mild reaction. the idea of someone putting out the piece was very ominous as a precedent for others because they have a lot of secrets that had to be kept secret from the public. and from congress. the question was -- it was a question of whether the person had access. there is a lot of discussion between nixon and kissinger -- what does state have come a what does laird have - rogers laird were both skeptics of their policy. kissinger assures them that i have not given state or defense real data on what our plans are. he said don't wor

sometimes i would ask him to make the entrÉe, for example to talk to bush 41 or henry kissinger or bookcked -- bush -- dick cheney. no doubt people were checking with him 1st before agreeing to talk to me. having said that, for the most part he was quite forthcoming. there were things that he said he forgot. there were things that he did not remember. there were things on occasion where he would say i can't talk about that and thinks he did not want to talk about, whereas current business for obvious reasons as national security advisor he is also overseeing the community that plans and commissions covert actions. these things he did not talk about. other times i would come back to issues when he did not want to talk about something. some things i asked him repeatedly. always guarded always guarded and protective, and that is consistent with him being very discreet very behind the scenes. he was the opposite of discursive. having said that, i kind of tried to get as much out of him as i could. i could. when i came back with questions from what other people said or if there was a discrep

henry kissinger had to go back and renegotiate all the time. it happens. salt one, salt two.t is a provision that is easily understood. digestible and disturbing. the 10-year sunset clause. >> did he come here to create conditions in which a u.s. military strike on iran would become inevitable? >> to me, this was the most interesting aspect of the speech. the area in which he seemed to depart from his previously articulated positions. if you look back to the disagreement that erupted between the u.s. and israel a few weeks ago as reported in the press, that the u.s. has been negotiating on the basis of a one-year breakout time and the israelis are saying that is insufficient. >> it will take them a year from a decision to get to a bomb. >> that was a goal post that the u.s. and the rest of the p5 plus one thought was completely unrealistic, unachievable. if that is the goal post, there is no deal that will be acceptable to the israeli government. we did not hear about two years of breakout time. what that means to me is netanyahu is leaving things ambiguous. he was leaving ro

henry kissinger's nsc had 30. we are over 10 times that. but you guys were special. [laughter] having said that, that is not the full answer. there are two other issues. one is foreign-policy is made in the executive branch primarily by the president of the united states, at the behest of the president. there is no area in which the old maxim of a single man or woman is true. five out of six of the last presidents have had no foreign experience. the american people continue to live under the delusion that foreign-policy is something you could pick up. if that has been demonstrated to not be the case, certainly the past few years have driven that message home, or should have. you have to elect people who understand this, who understand how the agency's work, who understand the issues, who are not going to do on the job training, and are effective leaders. people who are effective of managing big organizations. united states government is the largest, most complicated organization on earth. the skill set least valued is management skill. this is the one city in the wor

the form he president bill clinton and former secretary of state henry kissinger, leader of parliament, former foreign secretary china's vice president lee yang chow, who attended nelson mandela's funeral in south africa. indian malaysia, philippines you'll note all the big names the prime minister of south korea, the prime minister of the philippines. the asean countries. singapore is an island nation, most of its economy depends on port services and many ships from those countries would have had those interactions with singapore as one relationship that the country had. singapore is celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence. it's a very sad way to head towards that anniversary date in august. >> thank you raman. deal between western powers and iran on tehran's nuclear powers. plus, calling for help, we go on a bumpy ride with kabul's paramedics to look at the challenges they face. just because i'm away from my desk doesn't mean i'm not working. comcast business understands that. their wifi isn't just fast near the router. it's fast in the break room. fast in the conference roo

he has an entour an that includes henry kissinger former secretary of state former ambassadors, former national security advisor but william hadihaid china -- >> we seem to have lost sohel rahman there no doubt because of the heavy rain. reporting on the funeral of singapore's founding father lee quan yew. >>> now please have filed tear gas over an angry crowd in sierra leone. people have been told to stay indoors. osama ben java reports. >> they came looking for food and when there wasn't enough, fights broke out. this is a town near sierra leone's center. hundreds defied a government lock down order. >> translator: people are desperate for food because of how the distribution is going. this has led to panic. >> reporter: many people were taken into custody and the police struggled to deal with the crowd. >> initially we were overwhelmed. but with the rival of the military we've been able to put the suggestion under absolute control. >> reporter: health teams were sent door to door to look for unreported cases. the number of absolute cases have fallen. there are fears of complacent co

list consists of pig names, and the former secretary of states henry kissinger forming the back bone.have all of the asian association nations represented here. as well as his royal highness. we have the philippines, president of the senate. francisco, south korea's president, the president, thailand indonesia. the president is here the prime minister and china sent the vice president. he is a significant figure in china. he is normally sent out to the high profile states. he attended nelson mandela's funeral. and we see the foreign secretary and the leader of the house of commons, the lower house of parliament. singapore was once a british part of the empire and a colonial representative. the british of him are seeing qatar's prince. he's the younger brother of the serving king. he is a very prolific high profile guestlist, representing and compliments a stature over the years. making singapore vibrant. and one that did business with all of his neighbours much even if it did have a few frackous relationships. >> certainly it is a reflection of the regard that lee commanded the world

henry kissinger had to do it all the time, he did it in vietnam all the time. you have to go back and renegotiate that particular provision. dollar lot of other problematic provisions to this agreement, but this they do that one because that is a provision that is easily understood, as veals understood digestible and disturbing. >> goldberg: let me ask you this question both of you about the prime minister today. did he come here in order to create conditions in which a u.s. military strike on iran would become inevitable? >> you know, to me, this was the most interesting aspect of the speech, and the area in which he seemed to depart from his previously articulated positions. if you look back to the disagreement that erupted between the u.s. and israel just a few weeks ago as reported in the press that the u.s. has been negotiating on the basis of a one-year breakout time and the israelis are now saying that's completely insufficient we need double that -- >> goldberg: a year from a decision to make a bomb, to get to a bomb. >> right. you know, that was a goal

. >> something henry kissinger said one that essentially created henry kissinger for better or worse, that he said nelson rockefeller was a great reader of men. [inaudible] everything was fast. he could get excited about a tuna fish sandwich. he was the best you've ever had. some of that was communicated. quick story, which presents the duality of demand and then you could go home. he was very close to his mother from whom he got his openness to ideas and people and of course she created a sea of modern art. anyway, i was told when she died he kept her ashes in a room. and mrs. rockefeller was kind enough to spend some time with me and she gave me a tour of the house. i asked her it's true. but how could that be quiet at this ashes were interred in the family cemetery. she said nelson just reached in and grabbed a handful. [laughter] that suggests two things to me. one an almost childlike lack of self-conscious which helps to explain why he was such a dynamite campaigner. he could walk into anything and he was as comfortable. but it also suggests a sense of entitlement that borders on

mccain: could i ask my friend if he recalls the recent testimony by henry kissinger probably the most highly regarded individual in america today. he voiced his concern and his fundamental problem was that, as he put it, he had gone from negotiations to rid iran from ever having the capability of developing nuclear weapons to delaying. so that on its face -- and again, i want to remind my friend from south carolina, he and i and our beloved friend, former member of this body, joe lieberman, made visit after visit after visit to baghdad and to iraq. we probably were everywhere in that country on many occasions. and how well we remember the fight that the surge brought on to bring stability to iraq, and it did bring stability. and do you remember the battle of sadr city? who was it that our forces, our young men and women were fighting against? the badr brigades. guess who is fighting in tikrit today? the badr brigades. you and i have seen horrific -- we have been to walter reed and many other places and seen our wounded. wounded by what? the copper tipped i.e.d.'s that solameni made su

. >> henry kissinger sat where you were. he said, you have to give putin a way out.ome kind of political negotiations. you seem to be saying, i think he wants that. this may have been too costly and gone too far. >> that is impressionistic. from all i see and read, i do believe he would like to see a way to end the hostilities and combat and death and instruction. in the end, all of these things have to be settled diplomatically. that is the only way to resolve them. >> many argue that is the only way to stop the killing in syria. >> that is true. ultimately, we are not going to kill our way out of that either. that has to be dealt with diplomatically. >> with the russians participating? >> they have a big state. >> they are long supporters of the year many ends they have been longtime supporters of the syrians and the sod. -- assad. they have to be part of the solution, no question. >> do you think that is the killing over there? have a cease-fire? a negotiated agreement as to what the future of syria should look like? >> the opposition somehow has to play into that

henry kissinger once asked chou en-lai if it had not been john f. kennedy assassinated but nikita khrushchev what difference would make to the world and chou en-lai said i don't think that aristotle onassis would have proposed to mrs. khrushchev. and that's a sign that all of these things may change. i'll give you an example because it's absolutely essential to understanding this story. because we're here at the museum of american finance i thought i'd concentrate on a single element and that is how america took over from britain as the ruling country in the world and it wasn't very pretty actually, because america really became the preeminent nation in the world at the time ofy world war i and at the time woodrow wilson tried to get america to live up its responsibilities that went with its wealth and extraordinary population to take partner governance of the world through the league of nations and the tried hard to encourage come to pass the treaty that would allow the league of nations to be set up. that, as we all remember, went terribly wrong.

charlie: henry kissinger sat where you have sat, and you both are students of foreign policy.e said, we have to recognize russia has an interest in the ukraine and a history in the ukraine. how do you recognize that in terms of the solution of the future of the ukraine? is it that they choose where to go? or do you do more to tailor your impact and create a circumstance so that that element of russia-ukraine will be stabilized? bill: russians don't get to make ukraine's sovereign choices no more than we do. i think you have clearly seen an interest in ukraine in some sort of association with the european union and they see that as offering a lot of economic opportunity. charlie: and in doing that, do they give the back of the hand to russia? bill: not necessarily. without being pollyanna-ish about it, and recent circumstances make it hard to think in these terms. it is entirely conceivable that ukraine that has more of a connection to the eu can be of benefit to russia as well. economic connections will be very important. it is not impossible to find that kind of balance. a lo

henry kissinger's book, world order, talk of belief that iran is approachable. >> they had a mock sinkingf u.s. carrier. >> i'm not saying they are. they had a debate. >> kennedy you get the sense white house sees israel not as ally but colonial occupying power. this is harsh rhetoric what supposedly is supposed to be a friend. >> iran will not be moderate until they get back to -- if we're honest about things. it is harsh rhetoric, but the president just -- [inaudible] >> spit it out. we want to hear it. >> haven't heard that word zorastrian. >> what were you going to say? >> no it's fine. >> did you have a joke? >> no. >> knock-knock joke maybe perhaps? >> no. >> all right. maybe she will tell us during "outnumbered overtime." a major battle just beginning.

henry kissinger talks about historically for hundreds of thousands of years the iranians and the muslim faith they don't believe in honoring contracts with infidels. so, to them, they can embark in a contract with the united states of america for timing purposes or to delay it but it really means nothing to them if they break it. so, who is to stop the iranians from breaking any deal that the president negotiates? >> exactly. i would not trust the regime in tehran today with a spare electron. i certainly wouldn't leave them with enrichment capabilities. they have righted every commitment they have made on the nuclear side going back to the time they became a party to the nuclear nonproliferation that they wouldn't seek nuclear weapons. which they had been doing for the past 30 years. not simply a question of trust but verify. we don't have adequate verification capabilities on the iranian nuclear program. this deal is bad in some respects. i just worry that actually we are get even worse deal. we will end up in embassy in tehran umed the obama administration. >> scary stuff. ambassador,

in a world in chaos, or as henry kissinger put it, a.disorder, i think we have some serious self reflection. >> i don't know if david will agree, i think a point to david made previously, goes to the heart of your concern. our foreign-policy is being run by a small group of people in the white house, most of whom have minimal foreign-policy experience. they've been doing it for six years, but it is if it has been six days. regardless of who is elected the real etch -- issue is, does the white house run for up -- run foreign-policy, or do we leave it to the professionals. people like your self and others who serve in treasury, state commerce, we have a lot of international agencies, and young people are more interconnected with the world than any other generation. there is no inherent reason why we should be operating the way we are today. the key is, do we rely on her executive agencies to do what the law tells them to do, to the extent that a new administration, regardless of party will default back to executive agencies, i think you'll

for example talk to bush 41 or talk to henry kissinger or dick cheney and they would call of his officeand say who is this sparrow? and he was a blah, blah, blah. no doubt people were checking with them first before agreeing to talk to me. having said that, for the most part he was quite forthcoming. they were things that he said he forgot. there were things that he didn't, he said he didn't remember. there were things on occasions where he would say i can't talk about that. and thinks he didn't want to talk about, kind of his current business, for obvious reasons. as head of national security advisor, he was also overseeing the committee that plans commissions for covert actions. so these things he didn't talk about. other times i would come back to issues. he didn't want to talk of something and i would come back several things i asked him about repeatedly. said he was always very guarded, very protective, and that's consistent with him being very discreet, very behind the scenes. so he was the opposite. having said that i tried to get as much out of him as much out of him as a good,

doctrine in my view was the nixon doctrine that came out toward the end of the vietnam war with henry kissinger and nixon working on a set of parameters that everyone under stood in terms of how we would examine our foreign policy interests and how we would either use force or help our allies. we haven't had one since the end of the cold war. this is how you end up with so many of these potential uses of force that don't seem to be connected by a strategy. >> you voted for obamacare. would you be willing to make significant changes to obamacare now seeing how it's being implemented. >> i was one of those who warned early in june of '09 in the white house that this was not being handled properly as a leadership issue. you had a situation where, i think in order to avoid what they saw as the difficulties of hillary care where they advanced 1,000 page bill they didn't advance a bill. they allowed five different congressional committees to put forward bills with 7,000 pages of contradictory information. i voted with the republicans 18 times during the votes on the health care reform. i am certainly

. >> rose: henry kissinger sat where you are and made this point early on.you need to give putin a way out if he's gone farther than he has and that would be kind of political negotiations about this and you seem to be saying i think he wants that because this may have gone either have been more costly and gone too far. >> well, im" say that, that's impressionistic. i think from all i see and read that i do believe that he would like to find a way to end the hostilities and combat and definite and destruction. in the end these things have to be settled i think diplomatically. that's really the only way to resolve it. >> rose: many argue that's the only way to stop the killing in syria as well. >> well that's true and ultimately we're not going to kill our way out of that either that has to be dealt with diplomatically. >> rose: the russians are participating. >> they have a big stake in syria. they've been long time supporters of the syrians and assad. they have to be part of this, no question. >> rose: does it look like from your impression that's the only

>> i don't think they'll reach a deal we can live with because as henry kissinger testified before our committee, we've gone from eliminating iran's capability to develop a nuclear weapon to delaying it and that of course is unacceptable to most of -- to most of us and i would imagine it may be enough to have enough votes in the united states senate to not approve of it. we will insist on approval and not going to the united nations. >> let me ask you this. this week i'm sure you know that president obama himself sent a new year's message to the iranian people which spoke a little bit about this pending deal. let's take a look at it and then i'll have you comment on the other side. >> the weeks ahead will be critical. our negotiations have made progress but gaps were made and there are people in both our countries and beyond who oppose a diplomatic resolution. my message to you, the people of iran is that together we have to speak up for the future we seek. >> what do you think about that message? was he referring to people like you when he said there are people who oppose a diplomatic
