burns: thank senator rubio for the person for the first thing that i would emphasize that the carnegie endowment is a probably independent and transparent organization and review is about ensuring that whatever financial support they receive whether it is from trustees foundations, does not in any way shape the content of the conclusions of scholarly work. that is first and second, on china u.s. foundation, this is a relationship that i inherited when i became president of carnegie and that i ended it not long after i became president. precisely for the concerns that you just described it because we are increasingly worried about the expansion of chinese influence operations. shortly after i ended the relationship, we began a program at the carnegie endowment on countering foreign influence operations and mostly china and russia. and was supported in part from the grant from the global engagement center at the state department in the last administration. on the second issue, that you raised on the congressional staff delegation, in 2019, we did partner with the afton institute which is

it not only creates a national presence but it's bigger than carnegie rockefeller. for the ford foundation and their money of focusing on the black power but in focusing on how to contain it we can meet black power not in terms of the full a transformative vision. the perhaps we can focus on on black arts programs perhaps that we can focus on black studies and colleges and universities and resourcing those right perhaps we can focus on funding and or supporting quietly and or explicitly. black liberal elites who can be the spokes women and men for black people for started to fund fellowships. doctoral student fellowships for black studies and women's studies. board had a big hand in opening up spaces particularly for african-americans and women to get into higher education. african-americans are able to start to come into predominately white institutions in large numbers. where they had previously mostly gone to historically black colleges but when they start to be able to go into predominately white institutions the racial conflicts are still very apparent and it i

you have just unprecedented actually mission of well in the hands of people like andrew carnegie john d. rockefeller. keep on the time now these are people who break up strikes with violence these are people who are not surprising profit these are not euro's. this is sort of driving industrial production in the north. from the south they are largely still in agricultural society there's a lot of a lot of labor a lot of hard labor. and usually that labor was primarily done by blacks. they're being exploited other coming from a system of slavery slavery is finally ended and all of a sudden you have no free labor and then hunted you had to figure out how do we make sure that the south stays economically viable. we need people who know enough to do the work that we need done so we need to train to have basically rudimentary kinds of skills. and this moment you have people like andrew carnegie and he said i have this great option it's called philanthropy. well look we are all well. over the wall. but i'm really. northern why captains of industry all of a sudden want to go all in on educati

and this moment you have people like andrew carnegie and he said i have this great option it's called philanthropy. well we're. all well. over the wall. but i'm really. northern why captains of industry all of a sudden want to go all in on educating newly freed rule black people what they wanted to ensure overwhelmingly is that they have workers whose dreams are black families living on the regular you have survived but you must be taught and shown that their lives can be made better and more meaningful they decide really that it has to be a man you are straining something that is going to keep these folks subservient to white authority but also keep them in the south we have to keep them in agricultural industry because otherwise our economy false falls apart this is a vision of what it's like education to be and it's getting massive amounts of money from andrew carnegie himself from john d. rockefeller with the establishment in 1003 which is rockefeller funds and. rockefeller created the general education board which was a organization that created schools for black students. rockef

given this acknowledgment, i want to focus on your time as president for carnegie involvement. involved with the china/united states exchange foundation. an organization that you acknowledged in your written questions or answers. it's part of china's united front system, which is an effort to co-op and neutralize sources and foreign countries to adopt positions and narrative supportive of beijing's preferred policies. and in this work at the endowment, it's reported that in 2019 invited 11 congressional staffers on a trip to china. they met with the professioner who works for the committee and met with the president of another group for the chinese communist party a group that was designated last october as a group that seeks to directly influence, actually, directly influence state and local leaders in the united states and this group that you partner with, you know, china/united states exchange foundation congressionally appointed commission in august of 2018 said they showed a clear intent to influence policy towards china in the united states. so, given your state of concer

william burns, the nominee for cia director, president of a prominent think tank, carnegie endowmentse communist party? what is going on? >> through a chinese company as well as this businessman involved with a chinese investment firm. he has taken in, his organization, the carnegie endowment has taken upwards of two million dollars over the last few years in donations and the chinese communist party and the, operations that it has around the world, they're very specific and deliberative with the way they distribute money. the goal is always to advance the goals of the communist party around to try to influence operations in the united states and around the world. when a lot of chinese money coming in, it is always done with the blessing of the chinese communist party. it is always for a goal. we don't know precisely what that goal, we do know this guy, william burns, is about to run the most powerful intelligence agency on the planet. china is our chief adversary and is incredibly adept and aggressive when it comes to espionage against the united states. this is a deeply important s

ambassador to russia and in 2014 he left government to lead the carnegie endowment, think take that has close ties to china and one of the global centers is based in beijing and during his time as president, he brought in chinese businessman to join the board of trustees. if he is a wealthy chinese investor and member of two organizations linked to the chinese communist party. according to "the daily caller" news foundation, between july of 2017 and the end of 2020, donated between 750,000 to $1.5 million to carnegie. it says they do not support research projects in the u.s. but some say it's not the money, it's the influence because while he was at carnegie, also received donations from the china united states exchange foundation which is a hong kong-based think tank but a global research firm led by former intel officials from the u.s. says that the lobbying activities in the u.s. allows it to play a valuable role in beijing's effort to sway public opinion and build influence in america and all of this is why republicans have repeatedly questioned whether joe biden will confront china

a senior associate with carnegie's nuclear policy program. i'm just repeated myself.pologies for that. sir, thank you very much for joining us. in terms of what we are seeing here. it is almost like iran perhaps is ignoring there is a change in government in the u.s., and the new president willing to talk to them. >> well, iran had threatened to end iea oversight this week. as of sunday the director general of the ieaa in vienna announced he had made a deal with iran, which provides for essentially routine inspections of nuclear activities, which the agency already knows about. and, basically, they will finesse additional inspections that, and tivities the agency was allowed to do under the agreement. basically, in a nutshell, this -- means that the powers in the agreement plus the united states, including iran, have three months to find their way to move forward and extend the agreement or return the agreement with the united states in it. and that will be a tough proposition, because the two sides don't agree, as you heard on your tape from the united states secreta

the carnegie foundation has and every day the carnegie foundation in america on is heroes in almost every case they're heroes of people who have died helping out this these are and these are always soldiers police men. etc and so that's one kind of hero that so these are people who do just opposite of what you said. instead of being focused on how how can i preserve my life in a battle they say what can i do to help my my fellow partner partner and so in many cases they are willing to die protecting someone else protecting someone else in there pretty soon in their battalion and somebody i'm saying my sense of heroism is not that at all it's that. you got you not good in you know going to take a bullet rather than have to have somebody else die for you what you going to do is going to make the world better or not in terms of helping them survive statistically but survive psychologically to live socially. to. you know. to make the world better for other people is a simple thing getting a compliment i mean so so it should be in every situation you go into in every and every school every par
