>> i'm noteiiu i'm quitedr skeptical. >> richard haass, a pleasure to speak with you.e headlines beyond our borders "% earthquake struck easternok afghanistan near thee1 border o pakistan.xd >>> mexico's pr manuel lopez obrador rejected a report that found credible yñ& reports of arbitrary killings, forced disappearances and torture by mexico's security forces. hdk said the report is, e1quote not true, they'req liars. the president also came to the defense of former president donald trump claiming without evidence that the news of his potential indictment was an attempt to prevent him from running for re-election. it is important to note the investigation is looking into hush money payments made to adult film actress stormy daniels from former president donald trump to buy her silence in the heat of the 2016 presidential campaign. >>> and new overnight, north korea launched multiple cruiseç missiles toward the sea of japan, according to south korea. youq watched the south korean forces, currently conductinge1 their largest military drills in five years. for more on thi

it's just -- richard haass, i just want to keep going back to this.se we have lost something in this country. >> yeah. >> with every one of these tragedies, we lose something in this country. you've written a book about it. in the united states, we've always cherished our rights. it's something that we've talked about. even when, as a country, we didn't give rights to others. but you had martin luther king talking, you know, using thomas jefferson's own words to talk about the rights, that all men and all women should be given them. it's something where the rights, we've held sacred. our founders said they were from god almighty that we have those rights. but for 220 years, we've had leaders that have talked about the responsibilities that go along with those rights. john kennedy saying, ask not what your country can do for you. ask what you can do for your country. at that time, that was actually seen as a positive political statement. about how we should come together as a people and make everybody stronger as a nation. but, now, again, i'll just ke

>> well, obviously, china has something you do with a lot of the different threats that richard haass mentioned, by the way. it has influence when it comes to north korea, it is a player when it comes to the iran nuclear deal, it is obviously a player when it comes to pakistan and most recently, of course, you heard secretary of state tony blinken talk about the possibility that china would arm russia in the war in ukraine in a way it hasn't been up until now and they're very concerned about that. so, china is only one, of course of many challenges but has its fingers in many of the challenges and the biden administration looks at china like the trump administration did. what we see now is a more bipartisan consensus that china is more of a concern, a threat, a competitor, whatever word you want to use in the united states than we did in the past. the biden administration hasn't taken on quite the same tone of hostility towards china in the way that the trump administration has. they still have hoped that dialogue can be resumed after this recent incident of the shootdown of the surve

richard haass. chard thanks so much for joining us, as you know, prime minister netanyahu is now promising debate on these judicial reforms as they're called, but only after historic backlash that's been unfolding in israel. will he listen to the voice? do you believe of the protesters? well he's got a problem here. wolf as you know better than anybody. he's got a government that is ideologically shall we say very much on one side of the political spectrum, those in the streets for the most part of on the other side. it's not quite at all obvious that there's a way to square that circle to come up with a compromise. that's enough for people in the streets and not too much for his government that is the buying the prime minister finds himself in. but these protests they've spread to israel's own military right now , prompting the defense minister , as we just heard to speak out and then be fired by netanyahu. does this current crisis in israel present a real national security risk for israel? the shor

. >> richard haass. >> golf correspondent. >> just golf. >> mike, let me start with you.been through a few of these. what does opening day at fenway mean to you? >> oh, you know, it means -- actually, it's the start of the year. we have new year's day, but opening day is the real start of the year. it's like you go back to your summer home. summer house in fenway park. it's box 29 for me. you see people you haven't ian all winter. you get to watch the beginnings of the greatest game ever, ever created, major league baseball. baseball, specifically, is just a wonderful game, a wonderful sport. it is wonderful being at the park. i've looked forward to it for far to long, every year. and every year, i say, this is the year. >> a lot of people saying that. >> i'm going to cry. >> this is the year for today, anyway. theo, the wonderful game that's gotten more wonderful because of the rules changes. we didn't know what to expect. how is the pitch clock going to work? does it make sense? will there be pushback? 2:29, sub-3-hour games. in the past, you had a 4-hour game, kids tun

president of the council on foreign relations, richard haass. joe?hink that putin's visit to mariupol, as well as xi's visit to moscow, sends an ominous message to ukraine and the world. what is it >> the message is not peace is at hand. the fact that putin is physically there, so personally associating himself with mariupol and crimea the day before, essentially, you know, this is not a man, shall we say, on the brink of peace talks. this is someone saying, these are russian territories from his point of view. china, you know, xi jinping is flying in. it's been 13 months, 14 months since xi jinping closely linked himself to vladimir putin. china may posture, joe, talking about peace, but there's no way, based on its 12-point plan or anything else, china is going to be a force for peace here. what this suggests to me, this reinforces the prediction that this is likely to be a long war. >> certainly no time soon. but this war continuing for a long time is not in the best interest, admiral, of either of those men or their countries i'm just wondering,

i don't want to go full richard haass, ambassador hoss.inkages are there for example in france. the fifth republic in 1958, i was in paris in 1968 when de gaulle started to fall apart and they picked up the pieces are people i tina fordham are talking about the revolution of a sixth republic or talking about, and all links into the tensions of the financial system , the chris whalen financial system moving from low rates out to this new regime we used to know years ago. lisa: we are shifting from a regime of low inflation to one of higher inflation. at what point does that pressure some of the traditional oversight, traditional democratic structures of nations that were governed and on autopilot for those years of a more stasis kind of economic backdrop? we are seeing this in the u.k., that used to be an area where you did not see strikes you saw in france and now you are seeing it. how much is this a result of people feeling the erosion of their spending power in an era of high inflation and making demands that they haven't made with a ce

correspondent for bbc news, katty kay, and the president of the council on foreign relations, richard haass is with us this morning, and willie, don't look now. i can't believe it, but we actually saw at least on one issue bipartisanship happening. >> there was at least one night of bipartisanship. let's see how long it lasts. that new house select committee on the strategic competition between the united states and the chinese communist party held its first hearing last night. it was a prime time session and a bipartisan group of lawmakers set the stage for what republican chairman mike gallagher of wisconsin called an existential struggle over the future of america. >> we may call this a strategic competition, but it's not a polite tennis match. this is an existential struggle over what life will look like in the 21st century. >> to kick things off, the panel played this video detailing the human lights abuses carried out by the chinese government over the years from the tiananmen square massacre of 1989 to the alleged rape and torture of uyghurs in china today. the committee brought in f

elise, on the question of china and the united states, richard haass was here yesterday.ified a couple days ago in front of the house intelligence committee. he was struck, and said so on the air, by the level of antipathy to china from republicans and democrats. there is open hostility, which flies in the face of what david is suggesting in his piece. the better way to go about this is pick up the phone and talk to beijing. >> that's what i want to ask david. because of the recent news of department of energy, their estimation and fbi director chris wray about the possibility of a lab leak in wuhan, that didn't just happen in a vacuum. the timing is interesting at this moment of increased hawkishness among some members of congress. i'm just curious, what are you hearing about the timing of those allegations coming public? >> elise, this question of how covid began has been an intelligence puzzle that has been continuous. i'm not sure this was deliberately timed for this particular moment. there are a lot of people working this conspiracy area 24/7. i wrote early on that
