we do not have a comprehensible understandable foreign policy to deal with regional or foreign problems. and what mr. ford said about unemployment, insinuating that unemployment can only be held down when the country is at war. caller -- carl marx said that free enterprise system of a democracy can only continue to exist when they are at war or preparing for war. carl marx was the grandfather of communism. i do not agree with that statement and i hope mr. ford does not, either. he has put pressure on the congress and i do not believe mr. ford would deny this, to hold up on nonproliferation legislation until the congress agreed for an $8 billion program for private industry to start producing enriched uranium. and the last thing i wanna make is this. he talks about peace and i'm thankful for peace. we were peaceful when mr. ford went into office. but he and mr. kissinger and others tried to start a new vietnam in angola, and it was only the outcry of the american people and the congress when their secret deal was discovered that prevented our involvement in that conflagration which was t

that is why our foreign policy has had to change.red by bevan, i call our new approach progressive realism. taking the world as it is not as we would wish it to be, advancing progressive ends by other means through a storm of crises, we will be putting this into practice. in europe, progressive realism means working with our european neighbours rather than bickering and isolating ourselves from them. new defence and migration agreements with germany in our ambitious uk— france summit, a new era in relations with ireland, a new era in relations with ireland, a new foreign policy dialogue with the european union, the first steps towards a uk— eu security pact. with the usa, our closest ally, progressive realism means strengthening our friendship with both sides and join them to defend israel from iranian attacks, and together with australia further progressing the partnership and making a breakthrough for uk defence companies thanks to the changes. against russia, progressive realism means not allowing this mafia state to act with impu

work with foreign purs. americans even have the o that leaves the government with this implication and its use of the phrase al security in this context but that does simply doesn't exchange the calculus. under the first amendment mere ideas do not cons institute a national security threa restricting speech s it might undermine democracy is not what we do in this country. so we think the court should reverse and i welcome the s questions. >> how exactly sit impeded? >> two ways,tice. my clients, the creators, are the ones creating that speech and posting it. >> it doesn't say anything about rs or people who use the site. it's only concerned abo ownership and therns that data will be manipulated or there will be other national security problems with other who are not citizens of this country or a company that is not here. >> you look at the analysis of the first amendment burden. as i said, the text of the hatch chute regular leites our sp let me be very clear. the american rs have a right to wor a publisher

has the capability to owned by a foreign paper in aer foreign government?ouldn't know how it's exercising judgment or how so mae we just need to shut down the oxfors in america or you pick it? any other foreign -- politico i was told todays owned by germ nip. that would be ok in your been? >> we're foot asking to court to arctic late bright-lining rules -- >> i aing your argument. >> y sometimes the court has recognized that a speaker-based preferight reflect a content based preference. in part because a newspaper is a one-way channel of communication and is genal understood to represent its public's view, maybe court would view that a regulation toward that is attacking content. not talking about interests or any -- i'm talking about the tailoring and you're saying we h no alternative but top this speech all together. we can't rely on disclosure but you're saying that wouldn't university press because? understood to he itself views,is ot just hding itself out as a form for speech between other people. i think social media platforms do raise distinct argume

we talked about this with the foreign minister as well. there too, we're ready to hand that over to the administration so it can work on it and run with it when the opportunity is there. and more broadly, the work, the investment we've made in transformative arrangements for the middle east, starting with the normalization of relations between saudi arabia and israel, all of that is ready to go if the opportunity presents itself with a ceasefire in gaza as well as understandings on a pathway forward for the palestinians. so there's tremendous opportunity there. similarly, with ukraine, everything we've done to make sure that ukraine would survive -- and not only survive, have an opportunity to thrive in the future -- is ready to be carried forward. putin tried to erase ukraine from the map. he's failed. he's endured, i think, a heavier and heavier strategic setback in everything that he's done in ukraine. now, we're at a point in the coming year where it may be that the parties will choose to negotiate. we want to make sure -- and i think

and diplomacy has no role in american foreign policy. unfortunately, i don't think it's gonna change. it's all the time we have gentlemen want to take my guess and tests good. and here in moscow. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at archie. see you next time. remember, the, during world war 2, the germans with the help of the show, the creation revolutionary movement that the independent state of croatia transported hundreds of people's in no way to work in force labor camps. the germans wanted the work force to build roads and the infrastructure in norway. so when they couldn't get enough prisoners from serbia, they contacted through social and the install of these cancer, you had the death rate up to 82 percent each, which is actually higher done in the ultimate among the dozens of children. lloyd did the george a boy, but not the be a little go to the coast to this, or what should the, i type, the owner's school. that'd be good to, to this is a good receptionist and it would not say that they had the horri

office agenda, overthe climate on the foreign office agenda, over the last six months i have seen incd oh the most dedicated public servants i have ever met in my life. and they are working all over the land to avert disasters and bring countries closer together. but we must do more to harness the strengths of the foreign office and deliver the government's plan for change and that is why we are sitting in train three reviews that we are grateful for martin donnelly, mary woods, and all others for their work into the fcdo's role and capabilities to look at particularly our economic capability and this department at our global impact in the department and the fusion of development and diplomacy and in each case, ask how can we ensure the tools at our disposal provide maximum benefits to uk prosperity and security. the stories of the reviews is a world where the foreign and the domestic, the political and economic have blurred. vladimir putin has mastered this with his hybrid playbook and this department needs to reflect this reality. that is why diplomacy and development belong togeth

never at the expense of pragmatic foreign policy. never at the expense of the reality that oftentimes in foreign policy our choices are between a bad option and a good option. sometimes in foreign relations, our options are two bad ones. and we're just trying to figure out which one of them is least bad. and that's unfortunate but it is true. and that's a tough job. it's our job. and we'll seek to do it right and well. that is the core mission of this agency and it will be the core mission while donald trump is president. and we will be effective on his behalf. i also want this agency to be -- i don't mean -- not that it's irrelevant now, but i want it to be where it belongs. i want the department of state to be at the center of how america engages the world. how we execute and formulate it. some of the brightest minds in foreign policy reside within this building and within this government and we need to ensure we have an environment here conducive to creativity, to boldness, to new ideas, to recognizing the dynamic world in which w

of the foreign policy of this country. ms. frederick: mr. frankel, a question for president ford. mr. frankel: mr. president, can we stick with morality? for a lot of people it seems to cover a bunch of sins. mr. nixon and mr. kissinger used to tell us that instead of morality we had to worry in the the world about living with and letting live all kinds of governments that we really don't like. north and south korean dictators, chilean fascists, chinese communists, iranian emperors and so on. they said the only way to get by in a wicked world was to treat others on the basis of how they treated us and not how they treated their own people. but more recently, we seem to have taken a different tack. we seem to have decided that it is part of our business to tell the rhodesians, for instance, that the way they're treating their own black people is wrong and they've got to change their government and we've put pressure an them. we were rather liberal in our advice to the italians as to how to vote. is this a new ford foreign p

what kind of foreign policy he wanted to have you met? i mean, this is not a trick question, but he said that his administration will have a middle class foreign policy. do you remember that? what happened to that? i have to confess. i don't remember that. well, i mean, we're going, we're, we're going to quickly forget the buying in ministration. believe me keep going. i mean, i, you know, i, i, the one thing i remember is, you know, nothing fundamentally will change that. you know, that i remember, i mean writing was selected by the democratic party to be the gatekeeper of the current neo liberal system. and you know, it, to that extent. i think he's been highly successful in providing a platform for the professional managerial class to continue to exert leverage over that working class that he claims to still think that he comes from as well. i mean my michael, the, the, the of the p. m saves, i'm glad you brought it up here because as we move forward a week, next week, we will have the next president of the united states for 47. but it

foreign minister to come here to damascus. they were very warm and talking about each other, both foreign ministers said the other country was that people's 2nd country. so you can't really get more cordial than those statements. and they both said there was a great deal of challenges, but we both agree, but we need to show patients. let me quickly go through some of those challenges. but they spoke about refugees. remember, jordan has been hosting a 1000000 syrian refugees over the last a modem, 13 years, but your data for a minutes to sit there. all guests will continue to welcome them until they couldn't go back home. they talked about drugs, trafficking and smuggling. remember that's one of the problems. jordan was facing was coming from syria, was electronic to good. and that, that drugs, that serial may drug that was basically fueling the economy here in damascus. this, it, it, it almost become a non co state, a very clear from the syrian prime minister that will, and they say they put a stop to it, and they're going to

and diplomacy has no role in american foreign policy. unfortunately, i don't think it's gonna change. it's all the time we have gentlemen want to take my guess and tests good. and here in moscow. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. you next time. remember, the, the south korea's in page president is detained under the expected system trial level last month, marshall crisis. you said you reject the charges of insurrection on the piece of power that says he wants to avoid bloodshed. also it had this on the wrong and delivered on the present, the outgoing un secretary of state and leg can, is repeatedly told of the attempt to last a plan for a long promise to get still uh delivered bill between as well. um, so not as a growing number of id have to refute the unless the toilet is which.

everyone, there was almost a 0 foreign policy get there is the foreign policy is really very much front and center of this president, right now. ukraine wasn't mentioned once. now something that he was supposed to solve of the day. what are your thoughts of, you know, we'll go ahead hunter? well, 1st of all, it's always a pleasure to be on the program. i was, is a little disappointed to be honest with the viewing audience because what i was looking for is not what we got. and it's blatantly obvious that we have a different trump that we have from 2016. so if you look at the donor pool, i believe he's bought and paid for at this point, and i'm just being very, very critical of that. okay. there was no mention of foreign policy. there was no mention of any of the things that are front and center. a little bit of mentioned with regard to the panama canal, but not really of interest. and we have ongoing wars. um, you know, this whole concept of the make america great. again, make america healthy again, all of this other stuff. i don't really believe from a policy perspective that he'll, he'

never before has a president been receiving cash from foreign governments and from foreign companies that are backed by foreign companies in middle of their term. if you and i had done this add senator we would be in violation of senate ethics rules. this is not permitted. my question is simple. do you see how this family compromises our diplomatic efforts, do you have an issue will raise an issue with the president about his growing financial connection with governments you will negotiate with. >> first, i am no -- neither authorized or position to give you insight to the arrangements you pointeded out. jared kushner is a private citizen, i don't know of any engagement he has, i can tell you, i am not in state department, i can tell you, president envoy to to region, has been working cooperatively together with the biden administration and i -- i dare say all involved deserve credit for ceasefire. >> steve witkoff has been a contribute component of it broader -- about saudi-israel relationship would be a historic development. ... and the ongoing conflict and the lack of a cease-fire

i knew about that stuff, but i'd never done anything on foreign policy. and victoria proceeded basically to put me through the victoria coates university. and it proceeded to be a very system matic education. and we would do on a weekly we would do we would do dinners, we do dinners at the capitol grill and she'd bring in an expert, she'd bring in a rush expert, she'd bring in a china expert, she'd bring in an iran expert and sit there and have a three and four hour dinner and delve into understanding nuance, asking stupid questions. they say there are no stupid questions. but i tested that proposition i asked stupid, but kept asking them. and i will say today 12 years later, listen, i am engaged in a great many of the foreign policy in the senate, but it remains and astonishing that victoria, it took a constitutional lawyer, was zero foreign policy experience and put me through the paces to be to engage in those matters. well, interesting, senator cruz, those of us who work with victoria have very experiences. in fact, one of the first times that i had a

there was no mention of foreign policy. there was no mention of any of the things that are front and center. a little bit of mentioned with regards to the panama canal, but not really of interest. and we have ongoing wars. you know, this whole concept of the make america. great. again, make america healthy again. all of this other stuff. i don't really believe from a policy perspective that he'll, he'll be successful in doing that because if you look, we only one the house by like one or 2 books. right? so, and it's gonna flip in 2 years. so i always look at it from a policy perspective. i really look at it from a rhetorical perspective. you know, cooling, look, also as the and i'll get ration was happening or slightly before. and i guess we, none of us really aware of it because we're glued to the screen. watch him, you know, duration, but the pardons that writing signed, i mean that is revolting. what she did absolutely revolting, short circuiting the legal process and we will now ever make may never find out the origins

shadow foreign secretary. i would like to thank the foreign secretary for his statement.le and sensitive nature of the current situation. and there's a long road ahead at one of the most important moments for the middle east, which we all hope will usher in a sustainable end to the dreadful conflict in gaza. this is a conflict which we should never forget was triggered by the horrific hamas terror attacks of october to seventh in 2023. it was the worst terror attack in the history and the most murderous programme against thejewish programme against the jewish people programme against thejewish people since programme against the jewish people since the holocaust. we have the thoughts in our minds the victims, those who lost lives including hostages made it camp 70 and those super lives have been changed forever. every hostage must be returned safely —— those whose lives. after 15 mums of the most imaginable cruelty at the hands of hamas. even in this agonising pain, the families of those held hostage have kept the torch burning for those loved ones with publicity highlight

it was disgusting to see a foreign leader applauded. built in this way, when he's carrying out this genocide in the middle east attacking multiple countries. and this is what the united states has been reduced to as a vassal state of israel. and trump understood that to his credit, perhaps from a campaigning perspective. and took advantage of it during his campaign and now we're going to read the consequences of that during his administration. you know, my goal is alexander brings up a good point. i'm not necessarily, i don't think i really necessarily agree. i mean, as a facile of state, it seems to me that america, american foreign policy, once the continued hedge emani, particularly in the middle east, and israel is its proxy and well they commit. so a jet aside, but based continue are had gemini. i think it's more like that kind of relationship right there. it's, yeah, it's because the americans want to maintain, had gemini and deny countries like around influence. they're willing to go along with the most growth test acts that huma

these are foreign governments, foreign adversaries. the biden's have not globalized corruption. situation where american politics can effectively be bought off by our foreign adversaries. that is what happened with the clintons, i'm sorry that's what i'm with the biden's the three countries were china, russia and ukraine vice president and got those things from this president. you're quite right to point out these pardons are of his family but they are effectively a pardon of him. there's no way to investigate or to prosecute joe biden for this influence peddling scheme if all the family members who he did it with arn outlet off the hook illegally which is what these pardons do. mark: it's not that he thanks donald trump will come after them. he knows they are corrupt isn't it? and haven't you written chapter and verse on this millions of dollars that have flown into the biden crime family? >> you are exactly right, mark. let's look at the time line for we talked about this verse the first place i publish my book i came on your show and we talked to back this back in 2018. the t

bipartisanship in the execution of foreign policy requires prior consultation in the development of foreign policy. in short, it is a working relationship. the president may be the senior partner in foreign policy, but he is not the sole proprietor of indeed this fact was seemingly recognized by this administration in 1984. the administration pledged this complete cooperation with congress. it entered into an unambiguous agreement with the senate intelligence committee promising advance notification of anticipated covert activities. as recently as the summer of 1986, the director of central intelligence reaffirmed this agreement and lauded the successful partnership that our developing tween the executive and the intelligence committee. but at the very moment, these promises of cooperation, notification and partnership were being made and reaffirmed the secret chain of events which would explode in the iran-contra affair was well in motion. the story is one not of covert activity alone, but of covert foreign policy, not secret diplomacy, which congress has always accepted, but secret policy
