is the chinat study manager eli. he had a special focus on china policy in the midst of a vast portfolio. and our visitor from cambridge to manyend and advisor people in this room. he is director of the belfort center of science and the kennedy school. he is most relevant for today, author of the new book "destined for war, can america and china escape the trap?" the only people who are not on --about the book is in is a tribe in amazon -- [laughter] we will start there. the concept of the trap has provoked intense interest on both sides of the pacific ever since grade started talking about this. even before the book was out. what's we will do today is we will ask our panelists to give us a few words at the beginning on how they can conceptualize u.s. china relations from their relative advantage points, what are the opportunities and tensions, and where is this headed. grandma we will start with you. thank you so much for this opportunity graham: i think -- if there is a lens that helps us to understand the relation

ely: now we're facing one.where you have very active propaganda machine out of china in your newspapers and what not. and what's interesting is that that is having some effect. because i'll be interested to see the survey results on the u.s.-china relationship. when publics are surveyed, they consistently overestimate their country's, for instance, economic dependence on china, or china's relative power. many countries will say china's the most important economy or the most important country in the world. there's very interesting survey out of australia national university where they asked people how economically -- who do you think is the largest investor in your country? constant overestimation of chinese influence. then the direct result of chinese propaganda and the united states has not engaged in that space at all. one of the tough policy questions for the united states is going to have to be much bigger than what we've done in the past, in voice of america and these little efforts. the united states and

eli stokols, jonathan lamrkts ir. and anita kumar, white house correspondent. jonathan, you write tonight, trump's legal plan built on his image. fight, fight, fight. i think an accurate depiction of his image. it does run up against the special counsel and his slen this case. >> that's exactly right. the special counsel haseen buttoned down. there's been sort of silence, no public proclamations of what they're looking to do here. this is a president whose instinct is always to be pugnacious, to if not hit first, hit back much hard or than he got hit. that has gotten him into trouble. we have seen the tweets. there's confusion about are you under investigation? he says he is. his lawyer said he isn't after said he was, and then he said he wasn't again. he is sort of getting in his own way sometimes, but he is urging his team to hit back. we saw it the first day when former director comey testified. he had his attorney go up to the national press club and deliver a scathing indictment of the former director, suggesting also trying to muddy the image by saying th

and that's exactly what they're doing tonight. >> eli, you made a point in the break.in the old days when you did this, when you took up the senate's time overnight for a cause, whether one person or several, it got blanket coverage because it was a big deal. what has happened in the interim? too much media or too much talking. >> well probably both. but i think we're sitting in the place now where everybody talks about donald trump getting in his own way. there is so much in the news cycle with russia and everything else this is a matter that actually impacts tens of millions of americans in terms of health coverage and yet there is so much drama and people have gotten so used to consuming coverage of the drama, be it at the white house about who is the next press secretary, all the investigation swirling around the administration, it has been harder for folks wanting to archive another message, maybe a more substantiatesive message to get the message through. it's just the place we're in right now in terms of the media landscape. >> and jenna, one more question while

if i go back to the first point, this is now for both i think for ely and anne. thucydides's trap is not about only a military competition. thucydides in writing about athens versus sparta, most of these by athens drove sparta craze is a economy, their culture, their invention of everything. read what the corinthian ambassador tries to explain to the spartans in telling him why you can't live with these. he says of these people are out of their minds. they invent something new every morning and if it doesn't work they invent something to the next day. they never as he says there never happy to let anybody, there never happier within the own country and are not happy to anybody else be happy in their country. they are always -- actually a bit of everything. they invented drama, philosophy. they invented history. they invented professional navy. they prevented, invented architecture. look at the paucity. these guys were just zooming in all dimensions. i think the chinese case you are going to see, and we are saying, china interface everywhere in every way in every

eli and the gang are still here at the table.onder what you think from jared's sort of team's world view what they think when they see a legal surrogate who's not working inside the government and who's not working inside the white house communications operation get tangled up on fox news of all places over whether there is an investigation or isn't an investigation. obviously, jared's team his legal team is taking it very seriously, there may be one and they have some of the toughest and most experienced defense lawyers on board. does this complicate things for them? >> i don't think so. i mean, you're exactly right they already do have a very tough outside legal counsel, that they had retained i believe even before some of the russia probe and then as we have learned his team has taken steps to talk to other outside lawyers. i have been told they haven't made any decisions yet. but they're likely to bring someone else on. that's not someone who replaces current outside counsel jamie gorelick, but help, maybe someone with a bit

all right, ashley and eli are still with me.to ask you a question about what effect the president's russia obsession is having on his ability to be clear-headed. i mean, this white house praised rod rosenstein. they leaned heavily on his memo. i think i have a bit of what they had to say about him right after comey's firing. let's watch. >> he made a recommendation. he's highly respected. very good guy. very smart guy. >> that was the wrong one. ashley, my point is, this white house has leaned on rod rosenstein's credibility, his professionalism, his bipartisan sort of document that he created. and now they're lumpi ining him with everything that has wronged or slighted the president because of russia. can you talk about the effect of the president's russia obsession? >> sure. first of all, that's exactly right in that rod rosenstein is now being treated like just about anyone in trump's orbit which is they like him, until they don't. and it can switch on a dime. and so what they don't like, as we sort of discussed earlier in th

with our thanks, eli, anita and jeremy. we'll fit in our first break, and coming up, president trump mulls a staff shake-up again. i'll speak with a former adviser of the trump campaign about what the president needs, perhaps, and perhaps may want, amid this russia investigation. so far, seemingly without end. "the 11th hour" back right after this. the future isn't silver suits and houses on mars, it's right now. think about it. we can push buttons and make cars appear out of thin air. find love anywhere. he's cute. and buy things from, well, everywhere. how? because our phones have evolved. so isn't it time our networks did too? introducing america's largest, most reliable 4g lte combined with the most wifi hotspots. it's a new kind of network. xfinity mobile. >>> welcome back to "the 11th hour". reports from inside this white house say president trump is sounding off ideas about switching up the people on his staff. not the first time we've heard this certainly. but the latest reporting indicates that right now chief of s

. >> eli, do you want to take that? eli: i guess there are are a couple different ways to answer that question. i don't think we are on the precipice of war with china over taiwan, but, of course, it is an area of potential conflict because xi himself seems quite intolerant on any moves of independence. i think the domestic politics in taiwan into the way the united states has, in my view, a very good team, a very strong team managing this issue to the point where it was not a central component of the u.s. china relationship. it is relatively well managed, and that could change in the event there was an unexpected turn and taiwanese politics. i don't think we are at a point where this is a defining issue in the u.s. china relationship. graham: in the book i have a chapter about taiwan being a viable country. i think the things about taiwan that washington doesn't like, china will fight over taiwan independence. i think that is a fact. the u.s. has accepted that fact and they're not likely to fight over taiwan's independ

eli stokols. here in new york white house reporter for the associated press. jonathan le mere appear hallie i'll begin with you because of a piece of paper that came out of the white house communication shop tonight. and, again, germane probably this is a white house that ceased communicating with us at least on television and ceased communicating with the american people for now that way. statement from the press secretary, it reads, the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians including innocent children. the activities are similar to preparations the regime made before its april 4th, 2017, chemical weapons attack. as we have previously stated, the united states is in syria to eliminate the islamic state of iraq in syria. however if mr. assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons he and his military will pay a heavy price. i imagine, hallie there is much scrambling going on to figure oh out how the back story to som

eli, home field advantage. i'm going to begin with you and the seemingly the least important of all the top,s we just covered but the last one because it was striking and almost bracing to a lot of people to see the leader of our country and as they say, the free world say something incoherent late at night on his phone and then that's it for a couple of hours. >> yes and no. if you read the transcript and listen closely, it's not the first time we've heard something incoherent. you've seen lot of tweets that seem like they're impulsive responses to television. so really not all that surprising. i mean i'm glad you played the entire exchange in the briefing room today. we have seen this white house try to stand up to president's tweets, the one about president obama wire tapping him at trump tower. but we've seen the white house try to stand that up. that has an impact on national security about why they're trying to reverse engineer and prove things that are not fact based. but the defense that could have easi

we have chris jansing from capitol hill, wrangling white house eli stoke hols, i know you were at the white house where the action has moved from capitol hill down there. what do members expect to hear from the president? is he disappointed about a win or willing to be patient and wait for them to get their act together in the fall? >> you know, i think that the white house would like to see something get done by august so they feel like they have a little time. i don't know the administration was all that set on having a vote this week. but i think members are kind of waiting to see what they hear from this president. i think they anticipate that this is an executive who above all really wants a deal to get done. they saw the process play out similarly when the bill went through the house, first it was withdrawn. they had to meet and get together and president had to hear a lot of concerns from a lot of different lawmakers then they got to a place where they could get a bill through the chamber and have a celebratory press conference in the rose garden. i think the likeliest thing is

and so eli, that's what they'd be working with in trying to justify it. >> right. last thing might give them a little leeway. but, you know, i don't think following the law is the most important thing for these folks. this is all about the politics. and we started to see it about 24 hours ago. a lot of republicans who support this white house starting to come out with tweets, with public statements in interviews on television, starting to sort of back the idea, to float the idea of maybe the president should fire the special counsel here. and it's just an indication that as john mentioned, we're sitting here with republicans supporting this president and congress for the most part. the president's base still not abandoning him. and i think what you see if this comes to fruition, we may still be a long way from that. it may not. but if it does, it is a doubl down on this shoot a person on fifth avenue idea that this president believes that his base will not abandon him, and if the base doesn't abandon him, then the rank and file republicans in congress are not going

eli stokels and peter baker. >>> a break for us. come back, one bit of godfatheresque imagery from the hearing today. also, what's the status of the russian infiltration of our election system? that and more when we return. >>> do you have any doubt that russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 elections? >> none. >> do you have any doubt that the russian government was behind the intrusions in the dnc and the dccc systems and the subsequent leaks of that information. >> no, no doubt. >> jim comey, republican senator richard berr. comey under scored the seriousness of the attack. >> it was an active measures campaign driven from the top of that government. it's not about republicans and democrats. they are coming after america. if any americans were part of helping the russians do that to us that is a very big deal. >> jeremy bash is back with us. moscow born american journalist and currently with the atlantic. before i get to a bit of visual arts at the hearing. where were the president's constant questions to fbi director about t

and that's why he's in this mess. >> i don't know, eli.heard sean spicer sound like it was the largest crowd ever assembled. we'll check on that. shannon, we put together a graphic of the people in plain english donald trump plowed through to get here. and it's a formidable selection of all names, great and small, in american politics, i must add, looking at that last one, in both parties. so you're tempted to ask, what's a rod rosenstein, when you've got that group? what's a robert mueller? what he's not used to having is any disciplined enforced upon him or anyone really with controlling authority over him. that's a big deal. >> right. yet, to your point of everything he has been through to get here, those close to the president, those who have done donald trump the businessman his entire career will say, if you underestimate him, if you count him out, you'll be sorely mistaken. you can look at the line of people on the screen politically, and a line of people in business who underestimated him and counted him out and they were mistaken.

eli stokels and peter baker. >>> a break for us.ck, one bit of godfatheresque imagery from the hearing today. also, what's the status of the russian infiltration of our election system? that and more when we return. on september 9, 2010, pg&e learned a tragic lesson we can never forget. this gas pipeline ruptured in san bruno. the explosion and fire killed eight people. pg&e was convicted of six felony charges including five violations of the u.s. pipeline safety act and obstructing an ntsb investigation. pg&e was fined, placed under an outside monitor, given five years of probation, and required to perform 10,000 hours of community service. we are deeply sorry. we failed our customers in san bruno. while an apology alone will never be enough, actions can make pg&e safer. and that's why we've replaced hundreds of miles of gas pipeline, adopted new leak detection technology that is one-thousand times more sensitive, and built a state-of-the-art gas operations center. we can never forget what happened in san bruno. that's why we're wo

i want to bring in the panel now, michael, kristen, eli. michael, i want to start with you. you're a former intel house committee staffer. you watched the testimony on thursday just like the rest of washington. where would you from here? >> i certainly think that mueller has a lot of things coming his way. one, i think it's inevitable that he's going to have to send over an interrogatory or some kind of inquiry to the white house to say was there a taping system or was there not. he is also going to have to talk to a vary fi of other players in the white house to be able to see what was in the president's mind when he fired comey. i think we've got a lot of evidence about what was in his mind. he was upset about the russia investigation. but i think this is key to building a report that he'll eventually have to do to the congress about whether obstruction of justice is present. i think it's not just enough of what comey said yesterday, although that was incredibly useful and probative as lawyers would say. but he's got a road map coming and i think that he will proceed with

>> eli, what is the deal with the no cameras briefing? and how long before somebody figures out how to put it live on facebook, or periscope, what is going on? we can't hear the briefings. >> press secretary sean spicer was asked about it today. i think he gave an honest answer about it. saying the president is sort of making a public statement in the rose garden this afternoon with the indian prime minister. and sean said we want the president's words to carry the day. and i think that is right. you have a president sitting in his office, yelling at the tv, upset about the things said about him and sometimes upset about his over communications team and their statements at the podium, perhaps not being as effective as he would like them to be. there were a lot of conversations about the strategy, and this was delivering the on camera briefings from the communications team going forward. >> our thanks to our own white house press corps of sorts tonight. waiting to talk to us here in our new york city studios, a special guest who was chief

eli, let's start with you. how big a deal is this? on the senator sessions, we don't know if there was a meeting, it's being investigated. if there was that meeting that hadn't disclosed along with the other meetings, how big a zeal is it? >> it's part of a drip drip drip of revelations that have come out after the fact of people with ties to the russian government, the reason that's a problem, obviously, the ongoing investigations, multiple investigations into possible collusion with russia going back to the campaign. and the other investigation going on, possibly related to an obstruction of justice charge, we don't know which way that's going to go publicly it doesn't look like an administration that's been transparent in disclosing all these contacts. they may have had lots of meetings. given where we're at in terms of the investigation. i think it could lead to just more questions and more pressure on the administration and on attorney general jeff sessions. this is happening when he's involved in the search for a new fbi directo

wes ely has studied this phenomenon for almost 20 years.says the risk factors are clear; powerful sedatives and prolonged use of ventilators which can trigger delirium. some i.c.u. patients need those interventions, but not all of them do. >> we had to tie people down so they wouldn't pull lines and tubes out, but we also chemically restrained them with these deep sedatives, so we got comfortable pummeling people's brains with gargantuan amounts of benzodiazepines, propofol and other types of sedation. we put them in this cocoon, but it wasn't a safe one. and when we started measuring delirium and then started measuring physical and mobility, it unveiled this issue of p.i.c.s. >> hi, sweetie, can you open your eyes? >> reporter: a substantial number of patients leave the i.c.u. with newly-acquired problems, ranging from dementia, to depression, to muscle and nerve disease. dr. ely has been following some of them for six years, and will soon release a study. preliminary data shows that one-third of patients improve and get back to normal cog

speaker, rise today to draw attention to the elie wiezel genocide and atrocities prevention act which i have had the privilege of introducing in the house last week with 27 co-sponsors. named after the courageous nobel laureate, this legislation honors the legacy of his life work to expose evil around the world. mr. weasel was just 15 years old -- mr. weizel was just 15 years old when he was deported to auschwitz. rising from literal ashes, he became a writer, and spent his life defending the persecuted across the globe. he died nearly one year ago, but his passion for victims of injustice lives on. elie wiezel believed from the holocaust to the south sudan, from burma to sira, the world has witnessed far too many genocides and mass atrocity crimes. the true horror is most of these devastating crises are, indeed, preventable. my heartaches for those whose lives are being torn apart and the fact that over 65 million people are currently fleaing -- fleeing preventable crises makes clear that the u.s. government must improve its response to these conflicts. genocide and atrocity crimes i

eli sokols is at the white house right now of the wall street journal. eli, what do you know? >> we put a request back in may asking the secret service for any information they have that they could produce documenting whether or not they had recordings of any conversations that had taken place in the oval office under this administration. that question came back and they did not. they could not produce any evidence, so it just sort of tells us if there are recordings of conversations inside the white house, they were not done with the secret service's knowledge conducted by them. and if the president has conducted these recorded conversations on his own like he in sin wa insinuated in that one tweet with regard to jim comey, you would think he would have produced them. he is drawing out the public's speculation as to maybe there are tapes, maybe there are not. after comey's testimony last week, any logical person would conclude that if there were tapes, at least tapes corroborating the president's version of events and underminiundermine ing comey's, they would have been relea

if you believe in lgbt rights, this is great and someone like eli road who is pushing charter schools in los angeles and just spend millions of dollars, he and a bunch of other donors to kick out all the anti-charter education board members in la, to put in a pro-charter group of political leaders, while also giving a lot of money to the foundation, to support charter schools. and dislike -- more alarmed, and excited by it. it is a level of influence and savvy and resources that they cannot fathom having, and how this works, the role of philanthropy and tax deductible dollars, and when you think you have a tax deduction for making a gift, probably in the hospital or food bank, a tax deduction to push a policy agenda and there is a lot more money, philanthropic money going in that direction. >> over the next decade charitable sections take $740 billion house of the tax coffers, which is not small change at all. a small donor when they take tax deduction, the benefit is much smaller, and if they are, and all the way at the top, who get more back from the government for each dollar. is t

eli, as richard indicated and some respects, the survey data has been s. a bit of a bright spot. not as much as africa i should sachlt i wish we had room for more chairs on the stage so we could talk about africa and latin america. but, you know, 76 -- sorry, i think somewhere in vietnam, philippines and republic of korea favorable views of the united states exceed 75%. so as you think about these results, one question i'd ask you to consider is the administration poised to take some of that positive sentiment towards the snuts. >> shurment i'll get to. that i think just to build on what's been said so far, to the question of do these views matter? i think it's important to ask that question because in asia as in elsewhere in the world obama very high favorability rating didn't translate into policy successes. so north korea's nuclear program was developing. china's maritime assertiveness was growing. we shouldn't assume that again there say one to one relationship between popularity and policy success. but i think it does matter in asia perhaps more than anywhere else for the fo

and eli, he said it gave him no pause, no, absolutely not.ng in that moment like sean spicer is trying to argue or like the president was trying to argue later when he walked that back. how much longer will they try to make the argument that we're not seeing what is very clearly in front of our eyes. >> right, that's the gaslighting that we have seen for a long time from trump and the people around him. he is so cavalier about language and so, often times two conflicting things, and the whole thing on the media to take them at their word when he says something. but it is a difficult thing to do and it does give himly way wi -- him leeway with his supporters. and sean spicer saying today that he believes russia had something to do with interfering in the election, but it might have been other countries or entities, and when pressed on that, spicer had no explanation for where that comes from, said he would talk about that and get back to us, and you know how that usually goes. >> makes the george orwell quote even for relateble today. we're ge

jason miller, legal scholar jay skeklo, and eli, let's start with you. how big is this? if in fact there was a meeting again, we don't know. there's a story it's being investigating at the mayflower hotel that haept been disclosed. how big a deal is it? >> it's another part of a drip, drip, drip of revelations that have come out after the fact that officials didn't disclose meetings they had with the russian ambassador and with other people with ties to the russian government. ongoing investigations, multiple investigations into possible collusion with russia going back to the campaign and other investigations going on possible related to an obstruction of justice charge. we don't know which way it's going to go. there's still a lot of details that haven't come out. given where we're at in terms of the investigation, i think, you know, it could lead to just more questions and more pressure on the trgz and on attorney general jeff sessions. this is happening when he's involved in the search for a new fbi director. >> obviously, again, we don't know if meeting took place.

host: that's eli in new york. few tweets this morning. jan writes it's hard to listen to caller refer to muslims as these people like we're heading towards jim crow 2.0. twitter is the way president defends himself against so called journalist. rick said, we witnessed such a poor behavior from the so called president of the united states. fred with the tweet this morning, there's a difference between policy change under law versus rejection on the basis of u.s. law. this morning we're talking about the president's responded to tweets. series of tweets about an hour ago. focusing on the travel ban. run through them for you again. the president saying people the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want. i'm calling it what we need and what it is a travel ban. the justice department should have stayed with the original travel ban. not the watered down politically correct version. the justice department should ask for expedited hearing and seek a much tougher version. we're extreme vetting comb oh people come -- coming in the uni

. >> eli, there is a saying, tell me something i don't know.aybe in closing can you tell us something that would make me feel better? >> the nato alliance is under more strain before. keep in mind that the headquarters used to be based in paris. there was a huge strain in the middle of the cold war. i think we'll survive trump as well. i want to point throughout are moments with obama when he told the atlantic he didn't understand why the uk and france didn't do more to help rebuild libya. and there were also lots of grumbleds on that part. i don't want to make a comparison here. not everything is equivalent. we have a president who tweets these outrageous things. and we have to sort of deal with that at this moment. i think it's also important to gain some perspective. there is a famous scene i think where lbj asked secretary of state to go to the french and decided to kick nato out and said you would tlik remove the bodies of our dead soldiers buried in normandie? >> so i don't know if you cheered me up. you said it's been worse which means i
