i think it's five or six people henry kissinger. notably not being one of them who understand these were these conversations are being recorded and this fact comes out in the midst of the urban committee hearings in the summer of 73 where alex butterfield who's one of the aids is asked on camera whether there's a recording system in the white house and says to everyone surprised. yes, there is and then this whole battle shapes up this titanic battle that will consume the lot next year over access to the tapes, but it's just this incredible insight into you know how nixon views himself in history and again the paranoia that permeates almost all of his decision-making that he installs. incredibly suicidal recording system out of the hubris of i'm not going to get credit and my staff is stealing all of my good ideas. and actually it is one of the things about the book that you know, somewhere in the in the middle of what it's a it's a it's a it's a the story some in the middle you begin to realize that you know, and when there may not

i mean the president's man to me was bob haldeman or henry kissinger or john ehrlichmann the more senior men, but then they added they came back to me and they said but we're going to modify that and say the memoirs of nixon's trusted aid and that that made me feel a lot more comfortable and i became happy with that title. we have a few slides here tonight some that are from dwight's copiously illustrated book illustrations, which is rare in a book both in black and white and in color and but i'm going to begin with one that is not in the book. that's a favorite of mine in case there's any doubt about who dwight shape. i who do i shape in his or the role? he played pictures worth a thousand words and this picture tells me this is the this was the phone. the president's desk. so it has the white house number four five six one four one four, and then it has a couple of outside lines. it has a signal core line and that has chapin and haldeman and then up above it has chapin rosemary woods and bob haldeman. that's the buzzer and the buzzer when the president pushes the buzzer. you go in asap

and you hear this german voice by you can guess who henry kissinger? and he says this is amazing. i've never watched myself christ before. a very humorous moment. thanks to dwight. this is are going to be our question right over here. um, mr. chapin, i've always been a little confused about the president's relationship with the internal revenue service. you give any light? what is attitude was towards them? well i do i i cannot speak. to the relationship of the president to the internal revenue service. there were i will say this that as the watergate thing got more heated there were incredible leaks out on all kinds of weird things. and in looking back at that based on everything we all know now. i believe. the deep state was well activated at that time and there were bureaucratic people into these various slots that were trying to undermine the president. but i cannot speak to the legitimacy of any complaint of the irs or the but it's just my my intuition. i mean the deep state did not get invented with donald trump. you you when nixon interview deuced his cabinet and had a meet

it's hard to imagine the opening to china without henry kissinger. it's hard to imagine the good friday agreement on northern ireland without george mitchell or the camp david accords without jimmy carter or the accords solving in dayton the bosnia war without decobra and they brought a monoset of skills which i discuss each chapter and conclusion and these are as follows, fierce to termination to succeed, to seize the historic moment as georgia h w. bush and jim baker did when the berlin wall fell. second, his courage, not the courage to have battlefield but the courage to c take risks for peace and negotiations, we saw that going to jerusalem with the crown prince to have uae and the abraham accords. we saw that in northern ireland with the catholic and protestant communities, the nationalists and unionists, finally decided that enough violence was enough, broke from the political bases to make peace.ra third is preparation. there's no substitute for being prepared for b knowing more abot the issues than anybody else at the negotiating tablele so y

so let me first quote the late henry kissinger from his foreword to the book.reat statesman and diplomat develops a vision and takes a people from the present to a future that they have neither experi ence nor imagined. the process by which the statesman, the statesman that is diplomacy diplomacy. and he, of course, urges us people to read this book as a as a valuable and necessary primer. there's also a forward from secretary of state james baker. i don't know anyone still that has a a forward from kissinger and a preface from baker. so congratulations alone that and now let me quote myself in the endorsement to stu's book. my reads a brilliant analysis the ins and outs of diplomatic dealmaking from one of our country's finest public servants and global affairs practitioners. eizenstat superb writing sharpened and in-depth interviews offer unique insights into what diplomacy works? when it fails and when the use of force becomes necessary. it's a must read for anyone with an interest in how diplomacy leadership works and how it doesn't. so over the past eight

henry kissinger even pushed the white house into organizing a my light task force task with discrediting witnesses, and engaging and dirty tricks to control the narrative. it took a year and a half for seymour hersh to finally get the story out. winning a pulitzer prize and shocking the international community. the intelligence was bad as it always is. and they gather people. there was no fire at all. really just the old women men and children about making their mo, heating of water for their morning rice and a m. and gather them eventually into 3 large digits and begin to execute them. cali was became infamous, but there were 5 of 6 1st and 2nd lieutenants that were also organizing it. and this group was assigned to the american. all the vision, all were flying over to you and out of the area at one time. and pretty much everybody knew pretty much what was going on. as for what became of lieutenant calley, he was the only one involved sentenced to life in prison, but served a mere 3 years of house arrest, a helicopter pilot, who testified against cali hue. thompson junior witnessed the

nixon was his closest friend and was obsessed with making iran strong, but the telegraphs by henry kissinger and are kept in richard nixon's library and museum. in one of the telegraphs, it's written, we've set the unity. and cooperation between saudi arabia and iran as a basis for our policies in the region, but iran's power and ambitions might cause trouble. britain can prevent any friction or conflict in the region by its presence, but britain had major concern that had targeted their historical dominance in the persian gulf. the... uk was no longer the british empire. if it wanted to insist on keeping the persian gulf, it would lose control over management of its own citizens. in the declassified telegraph, it's been noted that iranians are the most important issue, they are hopeful to become a major power in the region, but the us was hesitant to provide the shaw with military equipment. in his memoirs dated january 24th, 1976. alam has written the shaw wanted alam to tell the us ambassador that this is algeria state with a big horde of russian weapons. further down in angola, russians

should note that henry kissinger wrote the introduction, and james baker wrote the foreword they did to the book to republicans. exactly. and because i wanted to show the bipartisan nature of diplomacy and with kissinger, i have a chapter on his negotiations in in the vietnam war. his opening to china and his negotiations for the disengagement after the 1973 young kippur war in the middle east, where jim baker, i really highlight his engagement with george h.w. bush on the first iraq war. what i think is the good iraq war, but also his fantastic accomplishment, along with george h.w. bush of reunifying germany under nato. and he had convince not only the soviet union, which had a deathly fear of germany for obvious reasons of that, but he also had to convince our own allies, the french and the british. margaret thatcher said, i love germany so much. i want to of them. so it was huge lift. and what jim baker showed was the importance of personal relationships. he developed a personal kinship with the foreign minister of the soviet union, shevardnadze took him to jackson hole for sever

henry kissinger said on you directly ukraine that you can only achieve at the negotiating what you want on the battlefield and this war in ukraine will only end when each believes that can't achieve any further goals on the battlefield. that's why it's so critical to arm ukraine in as quickly as possible. the delay of six months was terrible, a terrible blow. the fact that the biden administration did not send f-16s and abraham tanks as quickly as possible was very difficult because the key is to strengthen ukraine when they go the negotiating table. and i believe and this may be novel i would love to hear from my panelists and from you i don't think at the end of the day, we're going to have a formal peace agreement. i think that the precedent will be the 1953 armistice agreement in. korea, which has lasted for peace for 70 years, that not a formal agreement. there'll be a dividing line at some point. and in order to make sure that putin is not ultimately rewarded for being able to hold on to some ukrainian territory. it be very important that we the sanctions on and that we give terri

in 1973, henry kissinger goes moscow in person. if takes to the vidarbha is a little dacha think it's still lodge hunting lodge hunting lunch where they go hunting for boar. and kissinger recounts that, of course, you know, he was new to boar and he recounts how, you know, brezhnev had him in this hunting and they would wait for boars and they should boars, etc. then it was just them. it was just too. and sukhodrev viktor sukhodrev was the interpreter, and brezhnev told them, i want to tell you, without, you know, taking notes just straight, what we want is you and i, we will be i mean, the united states and and we will be partners and we will run the world. and that's so much about his aspirations, so much about what he wanted to accomplish this idea of being equal with the united states. call managers of the world and oh you know his his love for nixon it's something in june 1973 he goes to washington and we have a most remarkable piece of evidence about how brezhnev to nixon because you we have, of course, the written record on t

i will take you to incident, remember that criminal american agent called henry kissinger visited africa at the height of the upperted regime in south africa and remember the border regime had already said that they... can they can crush the african continent from cape to cairo and with advanced military equipment that the united states of america was supplying to the to the apparted project regime in south africa kissinger was actually geared towards defeating the spirit of the african people that for moment they must accept colonialism as a permanent you know uh part of their lives but comrade julius nyrere will tell kissinger at that time that as long as people are so determined to fight for their natural right to exist as human beings and with dignity, no advancement in terms of military hardware or no advancement in terms of the most powerful army at that time the united states and as of now the zionist army can defeat their faith. "in fact, the zionist army is not invincible, several events since the eight incident has proven that indeed zionist is can be defeated and they will be

couldn't go to malaysia, there were other countries that they had to be very careful about. going to henry kissinger, the same happened to him uh, he couldn't go, there was a arrest warrants for him issued in south america, he couldn't go to south america, so to limit people's uh travel, i think is extremely good, it sends the right uh message, both to these political leaders that think they're untouchable, honestly i do believe people like netanyahu think he's some kind of god, i mean rather evil one obviously, but he thinks he's untouchable and they need to get the message that no you're not, will come for you, time has gotten the better us, but i want to thank you both for joining us to the program, stay safe to both of you, lembid opec there, former uk member of parliament and press tv presenter joining us out of london and tony gossing, investigative journalist joining us out of bristol and viewers, this brings us to the end here this segment of your press tv's news review program, thank you for tuning in and goodbye for now. the netherlands, the hague near the sorflet national park, peace pala

it was not united over the years, added finland and sweden to nato. 10 days before his death, henry kissinger called and said: never since the time of napoleon has europe looked over its shoulder at russia with such horror as now. and what do you think, putin thought that he would capture kyiv in three days. three years later, ukraine is still free. we have seen footage of the stadium, it is truly full, this arena holds more than 23 thousand visitors, and joe biden also against his speech, natalya, he passed the baton to kamala garis, he called to vote for her, said that it was the best decision for his political career to choose kamalo garis as vice president and expressed confidence that, in his opinion, she would be a good president, and tim walsh would be a good vice president. also the voters greeted here with loud applause, natalie. ostape, as you said, we see how the participants of the convention react to biden's speech, they chant and thank him. in general, how did the mood of the voters change with the entry into the race for the presidential seat of kamela harris, how charged are t

in may 1973 henry kissinger goes to moscow brezhnev takes him to hunting lodge.unting lodge were they go hunting for boars from the kissinger accounts of course he was new to hunting. he had it been this hunting tower and they would wait and shoot them et cetera. and then it was just them and he told them, i want to tell you without taking notes, just straight what we want is you and i just make the united states and soviets will be partners around the world. that says so much about his aspirations. so much about what he wanted to accomplish this idea of being equal with the united states. coat managers of the world. and his love for nixon is something else in june 1973 goes to washington. we have a most remarkable piece of evidence about how he talked to nixon. we have of course the written record on the russian side and on the american side paid by the waym those records are fascinating to compare there's a lot more on the russian side as you will learn from the book then appears on the american sidele kissinger no one will be taking notes except for the soviet

when woodward and bernstein in their book had him talking to pictures and everything else with henry kissinger. yeah. wednesday night we'd been through a couple of more drafts. meanwhile. and, uh, i was working in my office and i just checked back, uh, before we came in here. some of the times i got a call from him at 830 with some more thoughts on the thing, and he had a, uh, a quote from, from, uh, from teddy roosevelt that he particularly worried you as a man, the arena, what you did and, a couple of other things and at 1035 another call he was beginning to think again about some of the foreign policy bases he wanted to hit and hoped we could you know non bragging way kind of get in some of the good things he'd done. 1107 another call more more on that finally, little after one, i went home. by two, i got to bed at 4:15 a.m. the phone rang. it was the president calling and he had been thinking more about the speech and more about the foreign policy segment. and he was turning it around was all mine. he now was casting it forward. he'd sounded very on the late, early, you know, the earlier p

ten days before he died henry kissinger called and said not since napoleon has europe not since napoleon over the shoulder of russia with dread until now. well guess what? vladimir putin thought he would take ukraine in three days, three years later ukraine is still free! cheering and applause. when i came to cheering and applause. when i came to office, — cheering and applause. when i came to office, the _ came to office, the conventional wisdom was that china would inevitably surpass the united states. they haven't noticed, no—one is saying that now! we will keep working to bring hostages home and end the war in gaza and bring peace and security to the middle east. as you know, i wrote a piece treaty for gaza. a few days ago i put forward a proposal that brought us closer to doing that and we've done since october seven. we are working around the clock, my secretary of state, to unite to bring hostages back to their families and serve humanitarian health and serve humanitarian health and food assistance into gaza now. then, the civilian suffering and the palestinian people and finally
