brzezinski shouts, yank it out, say i work for the president, not for van sparks won the first day he was already laid out thank yous going to be -- but sometimes you can have a relationship that works better. in the nixon administration, i talk about how james schlesinger was at secretary of defense and he would put up with kissinger and he actually had a bureaucratic standing to be able to push back against kissinger and he was much more effective as secretary of defense than rogers was able to be as secretary of state because he kind of scared of kissinger. kissinger was a bit of a bureaucratic bully and he knew he couldn't bully schlesinger. i think people, it's very alpha male, alpha female environment. people were pushing to see the limits of what the good accomplishment if you can stand your ground and not be a jerk about it but you can show that you bring value to the process and you are not going to be cowed by someone with shenanigans and you can probably go far in the process, and that would be my advice. >> great. i think we want to go to your audience questions. you can s

vietnam part of the soviet union we now know that even before the soviet union invaded afghanistan brzezinski and carter cooked up this idea to support the extremists and even their textbooks even the textbooks of these extremists were initially published in nebraska university in the united states rather than in saudi arabia which happened later and then of course we know that the united states and its regional proxies had allies used al qaeda in the area to overthrow. the libyan leader as of the and then of course through turkey and jordan they used al-qaeda to try to undermine syria and part of that al-qaeda turned into isis so the history of united states and our kind is clear to all and of course the americans allowed the saudis to use al qaeda and isis in yemen against and sort of law and the government that rules over the capital sana'a let's consider how far this could go now because chunk still has more than a week left in all faith has made plenty of threats in the past do you think you could take any action against iran before he leaves well i think the americans should have no dou

former ambassador to sweden under president obama, mark brzezinski.te effects? >> the kremlin is turning that valley into the -- of russia. he spoke to his supporters when fighting against the communist regime from czechoslovakia. lek walenska being a polarizing figure from prison. a much more vast country. 11 time zones. but the fact that navalny is visibly sacrificing for democracy in russia is influential to all the people being in expired by him to sacrifice themselves as you saw this past weekend, risking jail, 50 degrees below zero. russia is cold in the winter. that is what the kremlin is doing. >> mike mcfaul, you have been on the ground in russia serving this country. your thoughts whether this is back firing on putin. what are your concerns for the future for this movement? >> well, i agree with mark. it is a big moment. it is a turning point for mr. navalny as leader of the opposition. and the fact that mr. paoult in has to respond to what he put out. on the eve of this demonstration, navalny put out this incredible video. i urge all your v

brzezinski and the brzezinski family.d thank you for your leadership, not only as secretary of state but over the last four years. thank you so much. david, i'm looking at these images of donald trump's helicopter, marine one, leaving washington, d.c. i kept asking myself has he left washington air space yet? and it reminded me of course of january 20th, 1981 when everybody that was watching the inauguration of ronald reagan, especially of course dr. brzezinski and jimmy carter's foreign policy team was wondering when the hostages were free and left -- left iranian air space. up all night as mika said trying to bring that crisis to an end. but another moment in inaugural history. we've come so far as a country. we have had so many transitions. i have never seen such a small minded president leave the white house, to lead it in such a petty way, to refuse even to mention the name of the person who beat him, to pretend that he's going out with pomp and the thanks of a welcome, grateful nation. this is a drama whose ending i

brzezinski and bob gates who said to me and others, we only have one president at a time. general hayden said this time and again. we have to do everything we can to make this president succeed. that's not who you are talking about in this article, are you? . >> no. i was talking to the torch press officers, the people paid by the people to communicate to the people. because what you guys have been talking about the last 30 minutes, the atrocities of wednesday, that foundation was not built on bad actors or emotion. it was built on lies. it was built on five years of a pattern of lying. and the last few months the idea, again, the election -- the idea that a loss was actually a landslide victory. and if we're going to go forward, if we're going -- again, we are calling truth reckoning. if we have a national reset we have to understand there have to be standards of truth. as moynahan famously said. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. that's what makes america great. but we have to agree on basic facts. >> moving forward on this narrative, this would be a large swath
