if they did business with iran and the plan worked, it led directly to the iran nuclear deal.hings as basic as international bank transfers, credit cards that could be used outside the country, it ground to an absolute standstill. experts called it the most successful use of economic warfare in modern history. fishman writes that doing business in the global economy without the u.s. dollar is like trying to travel the world without a passport. in his new book, fishman describes how the u.s. came to dominate this new form of economic warfare. quote, it is how america fights its most important geopolitical battles today, from thwarting iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons to checking russian imperialism and china's bid for world mastery. the united states has reached into its economic arsenal to get the job done. in the process, the world economy has become a battlefield. its commanders are not generals and admirals, but lawyers, diplomats and economists. its foot soldiers are not brave men and women who volunteer for military service, but business executives who seek to maximize p

you have iran supplying. you have china supplying russia. i mean, there's a real alliance there between those nations that they've been alone for a while. but this is the most overt we've seen it right. and the most active. i mean, how do you how does the us and its allies respond to to this kind of new coalition of of autocracies? well, i think that is we'll have to do hour. i think that's a long, complicated issue. it gets to do what i think have been unenforced sanctions on iran that is now flush with cash flush with foreign currency reserves. its currency itself is completely rebounded. the main provider of that cash is china buying 90% of iran's illicit oil. the house has passed secondary sanctions on chinese buyers and refiners, refiners and shippers. the senate has not taken that up in the last year and under the trump administration. he says it in his own way. he said, look, china, if you're going to keep buying iranian oil and gas, can't buy ours, which was essentially a threat of secondary sanctions. right. and and iran financially

and iran's terrorist proxies.resident trump, as ambassador to the days of popping up organizations that run counter to our interests are long gone. we will no longer fund terrorism, anti-semitism, and anti-israel hate. that stops immediately. [applause] and i am so proud that president trump has the strongest record of any american president when it comes to standing with israel , from moving the u.s. embassy to its right will place, israel 's capital of jerusalem, to negotiating the historic abraham accords, the greatest stride towards peace normalization in more than a quarter-century. to aligning u.s. central command with israel, a change that fostered daily communications with the idf, joint exercises, and crucial coordination with british and arab partners that helped defend against the unprecedented iranian attacks against israel last year. [applause] and i believe, and i believe it is quite obvious to the world, if president trump had remained in office, october 7 would never have happened. [boos] he has br

iran paid the money.palestinian group in syria provided the technology and the planning. and i think gaddafi provided the facilitation to use the malta route. nic: it is not inconceivable. i mean, look at the terrorist contacts gaddafi had established that could have allowed something like that to happen. maybe he wanted to ingratiate himself with the iranians. it's not impossible that this is the case. but we don't have evidence to show it. the lockerbie disaster was probably closest, out of any other sort of legal event, to the assassination of john kennedy. because the questions over jfk's death have never been answered. and indeed, the individual that's presented as having caused this, caused the death, for many people, they're a small pin in a much bigger picture. interviewer: so, megrahi's the lee harvey oswald? yeah. nic: we found abdulbasset al-megrahi's villa in an upmarket part of town. we're gonna knock on the door, see if we can get any answer. i saw him on his deathbed in tripoli, and he was

and the resolve of these law, mach republican iran, which is raising the spanner, remains unwavering. the claim that resistance has weakened or ceased and is netanyahu's opinion which aims to distract some looters and officials in the region . we have heard this and have taken note of it. the resistance has not weakened and iran has not withdrawn its support for its squads and supporters. it will stand up to genocide, child murder, and force displacement, and will not back down one very sorry, that story. wrapping up this, i was addition of the weekly here, one ology, international life from moscow. what a week, it's been so many a highlight to choose from. look at another one coming away. the top of the out of the can join us the the the russian states never is as tight as some of the most sense community best. in most, all sun set up the same assistance must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia's to day and supports the r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on

iran is racing forward with a nuclear program. on the third of march the international atomic and agency is meeting. they are supposed to produce a report under iranian progress. but they will not be able to because iran does not really cooperate. and that should not surprise us. these people are liars. they are charming liars but they lie. we cannot allow ourselves to be charmed by their attempt to hoodwink a western civilization allowing them to achieve nuclear power but they mean what they take their one thing the tell the truth about action that's our intention to support israel but how do we know they tell the truth? they have fired hundreds of ballistic missiles with the intention to murder our innocence, to attackers cities and they say we are only the beginning. they call us little stay tuned. united states is the biggest stay tuned and they're coming for western civilization as a whole. mark: let me make my own prediction. you cannot talk your way out of this with the iranian regime. this will be a matter of diplomacy. it

. iran upstate on this question. i think countries all over the world, whatever their ideology do not want a precedent of big naples coupling up smaller ones being seen as okay. i mean, i actually turned on it's had this motor wants to blame somehow for invading themselves. i mean, i mean, you government republicans in this town and you ask them privately who is inside the who's to dictate their, their own, say, put him in public, they are cowed. they will say they will refuse to say that russia invited you create lots of them. and so what, what the president is here for the transfer of another country sufferings, the parts of the, well we haven't discussed or thought about it is very ominous. do you think rushes back in the in the g 8 and do you think the donald trump is going to throw a state dinner celebrating by them recruiting in the white house? i think that the 15 is going to invite trump to the may nights, may day parades and moscow. oh, and that trump will find it very hard to turn that viral photogenic, my

and iran's terrorist proxies. under president trump as united states ambassador to united nations the days of popping up organizations that run counter to our interests are long gone. we will no longer fund terrorism, anti-semitism in at the israel hate. that stops immediately. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. this is a very big day for a lot of reasons but this gentleman is a very unique man. i think i can say in the world of chips certainly but in the world pretty much of this is nobody has done what he's done. very for those of you that are into that world you would say wow is a legend buddy is a legend and it's an honor to be with you. very great honor. thank you very much. thank you very much. welcoming from tsmc which is the biggest there is at a level that can't even calculate frankly. the way to the white house for a very historic announcement. this is a tremendous thing for our country and hopefully for his company. we're also pleased to be joined by commerce secretary howard lutnick and white

and i know that you are very concerned about what may happen with iran and it's nuclear poster during the next 4 years of trump. what's more, is you the most about it? well, again, as you said, i think a pushing it on to the corner were the, the davis it on maybe down after the seed in a you can see up as or where do it on a search. and even though trout it on, it is a power to be that can with so there's a need to try and read it carefully when me on addressing this and try to get my passport has made it is cisco. so when you drago orthodontic means, then you can are doors sick from the middle east, and i'm hesitant side to good. i, but i don't think that to get on is settled. i also want to ask you about iran's anyways, will proclaim the enemy's because we are so used to the sunni, she a divide and you know, for and power is exploiting that's causing but with this new initiative by this out is to mediate between the radiance and their america's uh, how do you assess the state of the so do you rainy in the relationship? do you see some possibilities there? you like me that the search

i also want to ask you about iran's anyways, will proclaim to hand them is because we are so used to the soonest you divide and you know, for and power is exploiting that scares me. but with this new initiative by this out is to mediate between the radiance and their america's uh, how do you assess the state of the so do you rainy and relationship? do you see some possibilities there? you are likely that the search and mediation would not come out of the blue. i think a confidence has been built between so do and a lot. and that in china play the very positive, immediately role in bringing. so then together then they had to stop the electric, we still use to use against each other. so it is a pleasure to be able to print and now it's so the that'd be a can play and we do trade or between united states and. and if both the parties agree, asking then edward have same impact, which we can anticipate about. so do me the travel between now i might have to and russian. so we mentioned all the major powers of the region except one, india and the communist and what it wasn't long, the 1st le

ready and among geostrategic issues, russia, israel, turkey, east, and west iran terrorism. it is a mess, rebuilding it, trying to bring back the people so that they are one after the higher as of the side is going to be usually difficult. there are bands of unemployed former soldiers, barbara baptists, who are going to cause trouble. and so the work is cut out for them. okay, well the, obviously the 1st step for one of the 1st steps is to get this enter in government announced and up and running that there's 2 committees obviously that we mentioned before. that will be part of that. they will be appointed by the president, and i got ahold, significant power with no external over size. is that concerning it, or how do you think it's we're going to work? i don't know, and nobody else does the fact that there's no external to oversight. maybe a good thing or a bad thing. these are individuals who do not have any track read, probably not known all that well to the west. and each of them is dealing with an extraordinary problem. the country is collapsed. there was no government.

is iran footprint across the middle? the shrinking, the trump administration is weighing options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for europe? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. a sense of belonging. we always look for ways to be together, and the everyday heroes keeping communities together. this is transforming every day. in the 1st part of the new jersey with visits the stuff i love, but in mexico city, where the locals are turning a notorious municipality into an urban utopia. a sense of community on the jersey or the housing. the file for 2 accounts was we examined the us each role in the one on alger 0. the week after a public show down with donald trump declines president receives a will welcome in the u. k. m. are season was $3000000000.00. bruce to defend the editor. i'm your kyle: this is out. is there a life window? ha, also coming up on a city ends in gauze that has been the 1st day of rubbing down on the edge of the 1st phase of the ceasefire expires the 12 year old boy

ready and among geostrategic issues, russia, israel, turkey, east, and west iran terrorism. it is a mess, rebuilding it, trying to bring back the people so that they are one after the r, as on the side is going to be usually difficult. there are bands of unemployed. the former soldiers, barbara basses who are going to cause trouble. and so the work is cut out. some of the problem is that syria, which is an important place by itself is a tertiary issue. obviously ukraine is the focus of the united states and the mission, the meeting that president trump had been present zalinski yesterday didn't help things, but they're still the cause, the issue of phase 2. and so how serious get squeezed, and among those 2 really larger issues is going to be very, very important. my recommendation is that the united states should temporarily relieve most of the sanctions. it would be relatively easy to find out which ones have the greatest leverage. but still retain the capacity to reimpose them at the situation wards. but given the fact certainly in america, we do not have a government. we

k also has forces in iran. all right, let's get into this with i guess straight away in anger. we have um a who's gainesville j. a non resident fellow at the atlantic council's middle east program director of tucker studies at the on run center for strategic studies in car. oh, it's a heavy yeah. see me, a fellow in geo politics, international security and middle east studies at the role united services institute of defense and security think tank and in the united states in virginia or indeed. and i haven't saw a non resident senior fellow at the foreign policy research institute. here's what laws. the focus is on regional kurdish affairs. a very warm welcome to you. it is a big deal and date the story and actually highly i'd like to start with you for decades of almond struggle for 2000 killed. and now the prospect to piece before we . busy move into the nitty gritty of all this. could you just contextualize as far as just how much of a turning point in history could this be if the p k k and they do laid down their own? thank you for having me on the program. so i'm glad you

iran is also supporting russia and you talked about shaheed drones, irans are helping to construct drones because the russians don't have the capability to do that themselves. the peace talk that president trump has called in saudi arabia. the middle east damage and because of iran, there is very influential. one of the people involved of the talks, the head of the russian sovereign well fund who was involved in the accord. south korea and japan have been supporting ukraine because the south koreans wondered if the north korean troops are preparing some kind of action against south korea. so, as we talk about a negotiation between the united states and russia, we left out all of these global dimensions as well. the chinese have told the ukrainians that i have learned from one of the former ministers, - look, this was not about you. china was a massive investor in ukraine before the war. they say we'll invest again. as we contemplate on the way we flip on europe, there is a hole host of other discussions going on around the globe of what this war is and what the aftermath of it may be, wel

we don't want to see iran obtain nuclear weapons. we don't want -- or rather, we want an approach with partners in the region we can trust. given iran's nuclear activities, we want to limit its ballistic capabilities and avoid any type of regional destabilization. with respect to syria and iraq, we share the same desire. we don't want to see islamic terrorist groups resume any of their activities because for some time our armies have very bravely been engaged in the gulf, as you have led, and contributions have been significant and helped stability in the region. i say this with great sincerity. france was affected by a terrorist attack in 2015 which was linked to the terrorist activity in syria. we are in that region at your side to work for more security. ladies and gentlemen, we had extremely productive discussions this morning during the conference and we spoke with our ministers and counselors and advisers and wish to say, after speaking with president trump, i fully believe there's a path forward and we share the same beliefs a

hangar is now home to hundreds of people. of smashing the gangs, or previously stopping akam, from iran about the uk? new life? yeah. a comfortable life there. why not stay in france? to stay in france, it's very difficult for me because i speak english, as you see from me, to the water caught fire. there is our boat. man shouting. from the air and from the land, the police, bolstered in small boats last year. to see firsthand the pressure small boat crossings are putting on the community. starmer doing the same. the prime minister is absolutely determined to put because the key to dealing with a cross—border issue co—operation, but rules out the idea of british police it would make us appear weak, which we are not. the militarisation of, of the beaches, of the air. as people here plan their crossings, the british government says it's investing in technology and capabilities always, much more our the night saw hollywood royalty grace the red carpet — the ceremony featured performances was at the vanity fair party in los angeles, where he caught up with the winner of best director for th

hezbollah has been reduced in capabilities and hamas, proxies of iran and syria with assad leaving. what we've found is malign actors like al qaeda take advantage of these power vacuums and they move into areas that are sort of ungoverned spaces and set up their base of operation so it's based on this report, it looks like al qaeda is taking advantage of the power vacuum in syria so i think good news, the u.s. keeping an eye on it and making sure they can't establish a base of operations there. molly: great point. a lot of concerns about all sorts of different entities potentially grabbing power there across syria. thank you so much, general. we really appreciate your insights. thank you for joining us on this saturday. >> no problem. have a great day. molly: to some new developments now in the other major war that is happening. hamas rejecting israel's request to extend phase one of the cease-fire deal, which ends today. meanwhile, hamas is also saying there has been no progress on phase two talks. so what is israel saying about this? israeli ambassador to the united nations, danny

charles also would have said that israel's war against iran and hamas. that's not america's war either. and so to expect consistency among politicians and candidates is a bit too much, perhaps. but but anyway, i'm going to stop there and see if you have any questions. but i touched all three. right. okay. all right. so. and i invite objections, rebuttals, questions whatever it might be. and it can be about history can be about charles lindbergh. it can be about jerry ford, it can be about the recent election and what's going to happen after that. questions? yes. aside, gerald ford himself, our vintage fans and blurbs, but perhaps most notable speech on the isle of grand rapids in march. he makes it endure. walk free because he was a part of every salvation war world. yes. so vandenberg has a cameo appearance because. oh, sorry. yes. the question is, does arthur vandenberg figure largely in my story because he was the most prominent isolationist certainly from western michigan and he was a prominent isolationist. in fact, when he changed his mind after wo

china, iran, north korea and. yeah. great, great question.so a little bit of definition that's required. the the cartels are not an insurgency. the cartels do not want to govern mexico. what the cartels to do is to keep the government out of their business. okay. through fear, through through whatever tactics they need. but do they want to take over mayoral positions they want to become. no, that's not what they do. you know, if you go back under the clinton administration, the united states worked very closely with the with colombia during plan colombia, they were dealing with the farc, which acted like a terrorist organization, but they were actually insurgency. they were a political party. they wanted to govern colombia. we're not dealing with that with mexico. now, with respect to china, we've seen a 20 500% increase of chinese nationals coming into the united states. we just heard the director of the fbi reiterate in exit interview the other night on 60 minutes that he believes i agree with this, that china, the gravest threat to the uni

and there was iran, which had three goals, to shape the presidential outcome. for them, it was to steer it away from an outcome they viewed as more likely to increase tensions. and to diminish confidence in electoral and democratic institutions and social splits. and then there is china, which focuses efforts at the subnational level seeking to influence congressional races. candidates regardless of party that they viewed as important for their core interests with respect to taiwan and paint our democracy as chaotic and ineffective. that is the influence landscape. they define influence as -- the intelligence community defines influence as efforts to disrupt or degrade our ability to actually conduct elections. the government consistently said it did not observe foreign actors attempting to seek to interfere in the conduct of the election. >> going back to your point about artificial intelligence, you seem to be saying it was not a transformative influence on flooring influence -- foreign influence. >> we said it was an accelerant, but not in this case transfor

. >> i believe xi and vladimir putin and iran really are an axis of evil. they're in coordination on this. i think vladimir putin would continue to march through europe if he were allowed. he would go to the balkans next and have a showdown with poland. to put it bluntly, i would rather send bullets to ukraine than american boys. >> mr. speaker, do you still believe that ukraine is an ally who the united states should support over vladimir putin and an axis of evil? >> yes. it's pretty absurd for anyone in the media or democrats to somehow proclaim that president trump, the white house or republicans in congress are on putin's side. it's a joke. we understand that he is a dangerous adversary and he is the one that provoked the war. when we did the aid to ukraine a year ago the entire point of that, and i was consistent from that moment until today, the whole point was to position ukraine for peace talks to make sure that they could hold the line until president trump returned to the white house which we knew was going to happen. president trump is the only

the way i view this is that china, russia, iran and north korea are engaged in a new axis or axis powers, and they are not on america's side. let's be crystal clear about that. you have to walk circumspectly in these in these perilous times in the world stage. but america is back. america is strong again. and that is good for us and for freedom loving people around the world. >> mr. speaker, i want to talk about your plans for what you and the president call one big, beautiful bill. you had a big win this week in the house. you narrowly passed a key vote for that sweeping budget plan to do a lot of things, including extend trump tax cuts, slash federal spending that at least give the parameters to do that. when you met with the president and the senate majority leader, john thune this week, did you get a sense from the senate leader that he is going to continue with the plan that you proposed because there's, as you know, some pushback in the senate? >> well, there was a little initial pushback just on the strategy. but i'll say this very clearly. there is no daylight between the house r
