nobody cares about the legacy more than henry kissinger in government than kissinger. he is brilliant and is an absolutely beautiful writer so if you combine those. in those places to be plugged in and i understand that completely but when it comes to being close to those across the country in vietnam that is something i take very very seriously to put men and women in harm's way you have to give more than just theoretical answers you have to look parents in the eye to say we are pursuing a policy of national interest and we took this path and the full debate and we came to you and you said yes none of that took place we have to have that full and frank discussions. we are a brilliant theorist but a vietnam in practice it was very different. . >> b will start taking your questions. >> please identify yourself. >> i'm a graduate student of the international school of economics in moscow. this is a very controversial topic so i thought this was a very interesting theory and kissinger had that irritating tendency to focus on the great man that form policy managed on great

kissinger's comments were extraordinary.d westin at 12 noon and was special coverage tonight at 7:00. here is taylor riggs. taylor: he is not on the ballot but the elections are about the president. donald trump made a final pitch for republican votes in ohio, indiana, and missouri. he warned republican successes could be wiped out by democratic gains. democrats are expected to regain control of the house. republicans are likely to hold onto the senate and increase their advantage. a top deputy to president xi jinping says china is ready to talk trade with the u.s. the vice president told the new economy forum that china will not be bullied and oppressed by foreign powers. president trump says he is confident he will reach a trade deal with china that will be good for america. fedex ceo fred smith is at the bloomberg new economy forum. he says companies are shipping quicker to avoid upcoming tariffs. smith spoke about the trade war. >> china is a huge market for us. in terms of our overall tariff eligible revenue, it is abou

while henry kissinger is fairly optimistic a trade deal can get leaders speak out at bloomberg's new economy form. an almost certain hard brexit, liberal politician peter mandelson brexit some form of hard brexit while theresa may's cabinet meets in secrecy us a dust to look at options for the brexit deal. david: it's election day, finally. i'm david westin with alix steel. polls are open and just remind seats in the35 house, all the house of representatives and then 36 seats -- 35 senate seats, 33 which is one third plus two special elections and then 36 governorships that are up. alix: there are two numbers you care about. david: the democrats need to take 23 additional seats in the --se and two in the magenta two in the senate. production asng they will take the house and not the senate. alix: president trump talking about voter fraud. he waslate in the thing saying they're going to start to steal this election. it was out yesterday saying all you have to do is take a look around at what's happened over the years we will see there are , lot of people, based on proof there is water

henry kissinger, the former new york mayor, it is his event, he is company has put this event togetherchinese vice president was a key speaker and he said that china is willing to speak to the us to find a resolution to the trade row everyone is talking about. xi jinping spoke yesterday at the china international import expo and he reiterated what we heard xijinping say, that china isa we heard xijinping say, that china is a champion of globalisation and free trade and crucially he said they are committed to opening up their market. but to hear from two of china's top rows in two days suggests one thing, that they are immensely worried about this trade row. many of the trade partners are worried also. chief amongst them australia. i spoke to the former prime minister of australia and he had this to say. the key thing, in all of our engagements with beijing and washington, is to be able to say to both of them, quite directly, political leaders, business leaders, think tank is, that it is possible to carve a rational way through this and secondly it can be done if the us agrees in turn o

during the current academic year, he holds a henry a kissinger chair on foreign- policy and international relations at the library of congress. he is the author of a number of books in english including after europe, published in 2017 and this democracy disrupted, the politics of global protest published in 2014., the article for the journal and his remarks today are drawn from his newest book which is tentatively entitled, the life that failed, how the west won the cold war and lost the piece. co-authored by stephen holmes the book will be published by penguin in 2019. the session this morning will begin with our speaker and then i will pose questions and then we will open the floor to the audience for questions and further discussion . >> those of you on twitter can follow this event and contribute to the conversation by using the hashtag or following the forum. if you've not already done so, please join me in silencing your cell phone. i'm now pleased to give the floor to our speaker . >> one of the important things i've learned, getting the kissinger chair is the quote that people tak

henry kissinger in burzynski. then along comes reagan. where did it come from, paula? >> ronald reagan was a leader. ronald reagan came into the white house with a vision. this did not happen suddenly. he had purpose, he had vision, and it was a platform he also definitively campaigned on and then not just only one the -- won the election but then executed. what is remarkable when you think about it is the consistency of purpose and the way in which, as in the book, the integrated diplomacy. there was a goal, a vision a , strategy. all the elements were tied together in terms of the political elements, the economic components, public diplomacy absolutely being crucial to this execution. and then also the military. the military in the sense of having the slogan peace through strength. here you had a president who had a vision coming in, putting in place all the elements and executing. it was a privilege to be part of that team and that execution. >> john and steve, i want to ask you to help establish the background. how bad was it? >> as a matter of geo-strategy, the so

one of the important things that i learned getting the kissinger chair was the famous kissinger quote, the people take part in this type of discussion for the pleasure of being introduced. the introduction is much more generous than reality. but secondly, i'm really very happy because i owe a lot to the national endowment of democracy. the saying goes you never know what you really think before you put it on paper, but in my case, you never know what you really think before being edited by mark. in part probably because of my english, but part of it is that in fact, it gets much more -- it strengthens the argument. this started, the idea of a book on russia, but turned into something much bigger. i will give the major argument that's also the story. normally we think about the future, we think of the past, and for us, the major story was how to make sense of basically six years ago, the minimimage w [ inaudible ]. now it's about the end of liberal democracy. how it worked, why, why basically in 1989 when you come into the post-war order, everybody should have been winners. the west, t

ivan: one of the important things that i learned getting the kissinger share with the famous kissinger quote at the people take part in this type of discussions for the pleasure of being introduced. because the introduction is much more generous than the reality. but secondly, i'm very happy because bio a lot to the national endowment of democracy, because the same goals, you never know what you really think before you put it on paper but in my case, you never know what you think for being edited by marc. [laughter] and in part, probably because of my english but part of it is that in fact it gets much more clarity and strength of the argument. there is this book with stephen holmes that we've been discussing now almost forever and it started to say it's a book on russia and turned into something much bigger but i'm going to get at the major argument but also the story. normally we think about the future, we think in the past. and for us, the major story was how to make sense of the last 30 years, basically six years ago, the major image was history, now if you're reading the recently

. >> reporter: detectives also spoke to watts' mistress, nicole kissinger.d racy photos of her in a secret app on watts' phone. >> to this day, even after everything that i found out, i still look back at that and i don't see any red lights with the way that he spoke of his family. >> reporter: when kissinger learned of the murders, she cooperated with authorities and was never charged with a crime. police say she googled, "did people hate amber frey," the mistress of scott peterson, who also killed his pregnant wife. this morning a cold and calculating killer spending his life behind bars in a web of lies now exposed. miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. >>> on thursday, a massive document dump from investigators in the case caused a police server to crash. before that happened, multiple media outlets were able to download the material and videos and post them online. >>> fire-ravaged neighborhoods cleaning up in butte county, as well as drying out. yesterday's heavy rains caused flash flooding and mudslides. a lot of people who recently lost their homes

richard nixon, henry kissinger, the order of the day was detente. when gerald ford became president after nixon resigned, he refused to meet alexander solzhenitsyn because of fears of offending the soviet union. jimmy carter gave a speech at notre dame in which he talked about overcoming our, quote, inordinate fear of communism. and then, this is absolutely the dominant mode of thinking in both parties. carter, then in 1977, ronald reagan is a former governor, he has not declared for president yet, they are talking about foreign policy, and he said, would you like to hear my theory of the cold war? my theory is simple. we win and they lose. himquestion is, what gave whatever it was, the courage, so selfght, how did he confidently place himself in opposition to the entire mindset? >> he was not just being facetious as some people accused him of the time. i have aas saying is, strategy which is not just or allowing a moral equivalency between marxism and freedom. it is a matter of knowing their vulnerability, both from an ideological standpoint and ec

china toward washington and away from moscow and the rest there is no china card any longer the old kissinger idea that you could play off china against russia is gone a russia and china are becoming perhaps a story kallaugher is economically politically militarily strategically this has happened due to a lot of factors however you're right i mean china now has to be included in any new nuclear arms arrangements that involve these regional or intermediate intermediary misses my own feeling is that the struggle over china policy in washington is almost as intense over russia policy though it's less so because of our dependence on trade with china the real question in my mind is what the russian leadership wants to do now if they really want to save this treaty it's the kremlin i mean the putin leadership. that could negotiate first with china about whether china would join but here's the problem solve all international politics is reaction. reaction to a perceived threat if china perceives itself as being threatened by american strategic power in its region it is never going to give up these r

you have the likes of henry kissinger, hank paulson, the former mayor of new york mike bloomberg. together and the keynote speech delivered right here was in china's vice president, who said it essentially that china was committed to finding some sort of resolution to the trade war with the united states and what is really crucial is that he pretty much i cared what his boss president xi jingping said yesterday in shanghai, at the china international import expo. xijingping at the china international import expo. xi jingping reiterating at the china international import expo. xijingping reiterating that china is a champion for globalisation and free trade and that china would start to open up its markets to foreign investment. what is really interesting in hearing from these two top brass in the chinese government at these international forums the chinese government at these internationalforums in the chinese government at these international forums in the space of two days, it pretty much suggests one thing, that they are incredibly worried about this china/ us trade spats and th

henry kissinger tells, he can always get a meeting at the white house or with a buddy feedback theredifference of getting a meeting and being in power and rubberstamping. favors to the tune of $25 the mac a man. >> hallelujah. i have a news alert now. acute former trump campaign comment for found guilty of several financial crimes of breaching his plea agreement by lying to investigators home in a four light about stuff. the new come -- president from a strike against the final report. questioning why special counsel did not interview hundreds of people from the pain. happy to talk. how will this all play out? let me take it back to the panel. morgan, i go to you for the mac talking to some of my friends on the i.c.e. today. break this down. why did this happen. mueller potentially did not know the full scope of what manafort was up to. a mid-level guy. the mid-level guys please office stuff. then once you start going the mid-level guy was actually the one who wasn't charged. incredibly weird to have an incident where you get a plea deal from somebody. >> they are saying he did not l

one of the important things that i learned getting the kissinger chair was the famous quote that theple take part in this type of discussions for the pleasure of being introduced. [laughter] because the introduction is much more generous than the reality. but secondly, i'm really very happy because i own a lot -- i owe a lot to the national endowment of democracy, and i really owe a lot to the journal of democracy. as you know the saying goes you never know what you really think before you put it on paper. but in my case, you never know what you really think before being edited by mark. [laughter] in part probably because of my english, but part of it is, in fact, it gets much more clarity and strength of the argument. there was this book with stephen holmes that we have been basically discussing now almost for a decade, and it started this idea of a book on russia. it turned into something much bigger. but i'm going to give a major argument but also the story. normally we think about the future rethinking the past. and for us, the major story was how to make sense of the last 20, 30

interesting henry kissinger pointed out perhaps the u.s.we have today is not the china we had 20, 30 years ago. it is much bigger, much stronger. china can challenge the u.s. economy. something to think about when it comes to the u.s. singapore was asked about u.s. commitments in asia, whether the u.s. is retreating. his comment is that the u.s. is not retreating, but reviewing its relations with asia, the rest of the world. a lot of talking points at the new economy forum. david: if anyone knows it, it is henry kissinger. janet yellen, what are we hearing from her? you are right, she is talking about the future of stability, financial stability in the markets. it is a huge issue here. we are seeing a buildup of debt and that is an emerging risk not just for the u.s., but the rest of the world. not sure the fed has the tools to cope with the new emerging risk. my fed has been focused on grow, not macro. pertinent toic asia is the trickle down effect of the fed movement on emerging economies in this part of the world, the likes of indonesia.

. >> go to white house, listen to henry kiss e kissinger and be no chinese this president tried to cometo far, trump brings down hammer that of the right approach, people are following in our wake, they are upset. ashley: we'll see where it leads to. gordon chang thank you for being here appreciate it. >> a, ash, happy thanksgiving vote in the poll, do you think bush, judge supreme court chief justice john roberts should stay out of politics and not pa patronized american people. cast your votes on twitter @loudobbs, and reminder follow lou on twitter @loudobbs could like him on facebook and follow him on instagram. ashley: coming up next, president trump answered mule mueller's question. >> i can't imagine there will be much value in the written answers. >> i first once accepted written questions in a criminal case. >> you could look at the book, when you within home, but you could not ask your friends and lawyers to help you on the test. >> you you sure that robert mueller did submit the written questions, we are just hear from donald trump and routed judy guliani. >> does not determi

instead of engaging in moral equivalence and 19th-century balance of power politics kissinger style, which assumed there was no fundamental threat of one side to the other by remember,our dna, george cannon said the soviets hate us not for what we do, but for who we are. understood that if they are going to be on the offensive , why should we be on the defensive? we should do reciprocity in all this. what is the cold war? not hurling guns and rockets. it is the war of ideas. two different philosophies of life. relationship between man and the state. a concept of human rights versus anti-human rights. it is that war which reagan fought, which nobody else fought. address to the national association of evangelicals in 1983. in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, i urge you to be where the temptation ofpride, the temptation declaring yourselves above it all and labeling both sides equally at fault. of ignoring the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and remove yourselves from the struggle betwe

that while nixon and kissinger come out about their cynicism he never thought that was winnable thatpresided over the vietnamese because he was desperate but this was not a winnable war. so where he had a problem as it was a message that they had lost it is a very tough so they were accustomed to success. >> with everything written about vietnam so what motivated you to wade through the chasms and pages and much of those were useless? . >> i thought before i started on the book that i have traveled many parts of the world interviewing and i am 72 and i thought could i really face moving around interviewing people? and then i thought if i had someone do the research for me that i thought i have to do it myself. i a was there and i saw and we can speak the same language. it isn't military history at a social history because that conversation i live in a middle-class bubble in britain and the people you are reading when you three or four our conversations i remember meeting the infantrymen and he said where i came from in the late fifties and sixties all the men got drunk and beat up th

so, richard nixon, henry kissinger, the day of ditente, jimmy carter and gerald ford coming after he resigned, refusing to meet people because of defense of the soviet union, giving a speech of overcoming our fear of communism, and then, this is absolutely the dominant mode of thinking. in both parties, nixon, carter, and then of course we have dig alan's famous account, ronald reagan in 1977 is a former governor he has not declared for government yet talking about foreign policy and ronald reagan says would you like to hear my theory of the cold war? >> of course governor. >> my theory is simple, we went, and they lose. the question is, what gave him, whatever it was, the courage, the insight, how, how did he so self confidently place himself in opposition to the entire mindset? well, he was not just being facetious as some people confused him at the time as that became known, but actually what he was saying is, i have a strategy which is not just giving in, or, allowing a moral equivalency between marxism and freedom, it is a matter of knowing, that they have vulnerability both fro

china's leaders don't know how to deal with this, so they try to talk to henry kissinger, they try tok to the heads of financial companies concern. lou: the establishment. wall street has been carrying out what the vice president referred to as a lobbying exercise, calling wall street and american ceos participating in the chinese call or for discussions and talks unregistered foreign agents. and, by god, that's exactly what they are, and kudos to the vice president for saying it exactly the way it is. >> yes. and, you know, we saw that september 16th meeting in beijing before the hid terms. obviously, the chinese were trying to use the heads of the big financial -- lou: they still are. >> finish against the united states, and it didn't work. lou: well, it hasn't worked so far only because the ceos didn't take them up on the offer, but they dispa patched their -- dispatched their minions from their banks and firms. you know, this is an ugly thing. we're watching propaganda being organized against this president's policies. we're watching the establishment try to subvert the president'

you may say rather harshly in my book kissinger would come out pretty appalling for the tapes that haveeen released about the cynicism. he never believed the war was winnable. he was desperate to conceal. they were going to stop on an absolute defeat. we already have a problem that there was the message they didn't want to receive. they had lost. it's a tough message to bring home. >> with everything that has been written about vietnam, what motivated you to go through those thousands of pages? >> this may sound rather weird to you but i thought before i started the book, i traveled and i thought can i release a speeding around the united states with a lot of people and i and the same age as these people, so we can speak the same language. you become completely grasped. it's a social historsocial histe conversations in power to me i live in a middle-class bubble in britain and the people you are meeting around the united states with three or four hour conversations it has nothing to do with the war. i remember making an infantryman who said in the little town i came from in the late 195

. >> i think you know, they were counting on henry kissinger to stop this. >> lou: we have to run, drsbury. good to see you. come back soon. well, up next, six days to go until the midterm elections and the national left wing media is hard at work. >> he is willing to score antisemitic and racist points when it benefits him. >> to the southern border, and it is disturbing because it's about a racial ethnic agenda sneaking in the republican party. >> the all-in campaign of the fear and loathing focusing on the migrants and marauders. >> i'm a journalist. i have to give the fact and the truth. the truth and the evidence points to him being a racist. he is a racist. his policies and his words are racist. end of story. >> lou: stay with us. we'll be right back. ('god's whisper' by raury plays) >> lou: a new study for the center of immigration studies revealing that 1,750,000 immigrants entered this country in 2016. that ties an all-time record for immigration and it continues what has been a major surge in immigration beginning in 2011. if you wonder how many are illegal, so are we. we ca

there -- they are dealing with the henry kissinger's and hank paulsons of the world.there is profound discontent with their trading practices. let's put aside the trade war, we talk length about that every day but if you look at what is going on structurally, how much of that can be blamed due to the external forces and how much as i suspect you will comingre the chickens home to roost? christopher: very little of what is happening in china and be blamed on the trade war. if you look at the drop in credit growth that we have seen over the past year, that is about 30 times larger than the impact on the trade war. that having much larger impact than anything donald trump can do. i think there is a lot of concern in china that this is -- the slowing of credit growth has had an impact on asset prices and an impact on investment, consumer spending, all of these issues and that is causing a lot of concern. a lot of analysts in china are expected of a stimulus package the only question is how will it be and where will it go exactly? they made for the dinner, what might be an

we have to break the myth that was sold to us from kissinger on down that liberalization economicallychina leads to political liberalization. we have xi jinping who changed the constitution to literally make him president for life. how did the economic liberalization from the 1970s onwashed leao d -- on washed leo this. that said, the way to peace is through trade. typically they want to do better. they want to do better and for some reason it's not working with china. >> we have other nations with which to collaborate. i was with a chinese billionaire today. he understands it as well as anybody. this is a nation that wishes to displace us by the 100th anniversary of the resolution. they want it to be one global power. communist china. we are not trading with belgium. this is a nation that wishes to displace america. in a world run by china, nobody wins except the communist party in beijing. that's it. trish: dr. gorka is the author of you a new book. you can check it out. straight ahead, miles from san diego, we have chaos going on as the mayor said resources to help the migrants are
