general assembly was running late. very late. in fact, it was 3:00 in the morning. the speaker was the most powerful and respected woman in the world. mr. president, fellow delegates, said eleanor roosevelt, the long and meticulous study and debate of which this universal declaration of human rights is the product, means it reflects the composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed to its formulation. that is how eleanor roosevelt there,hat night and from she went on and on. it was not what she said that night that interest us tonight. it is what she did when she was done speaking. aeanor roosevelt was born swell. if you are born into a certain , new york around the turn of the 20 century, you were considered somewhat derogatorily, a swell. that is what eleanor was by birth. because her parents were. when her mother first saw her coming out, she was disappointed. her little girls knows was too long, anna roosevelt thought. she said she was a more wrinkled and less attractive baby than the average. that is a quote. welcome to the world, eleanor

and general assembly to be unseated the only country that was unseated before it was like a duff gadhafi regime over libya i think it's probably going to be very hard to get two thirds of the u.n. general assembly to unseat saudi arabia especially if it continues to buy its way through various countries in asia and africa. stay with me want to get your views on another development in the middle east and that is for other use the reports that the u.s. military's going to halt some of its joint exercises with its gulf allies because of the ongoing diplomatic crisis here we've had a u.s. central command spokesperson say we are opting out of some military exercises out of respect for the concept of inclusiveness and shared regional interests we will continue to encourage all partners to work together to will dispose of common solutions that enable security and stability in the region no one can you translate that for me because that's all terribly diplomatic in a spat which is not very diplomatic these days. well you know if this is probably the last that we hear from the united states since

in his first speech before the general assembly last week, president trump threatened to destroy northorea and called iran "a rogue nation." pres. trump: the united states has great strength and patience. but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of democracy. it has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. charlie: over the weekend, the president called kim jong-un a madman and wrongly accused iran of firing missiles. joining me now for the conversation about the most crucial national security issues of our time are nick burns, professor of diplomacy at harvard's kennedy school. and michael morrell, the host of a new cbs podcast. i'm pleased to have both of them here. welcome to the podcast. where are we in terms of both diplomacy and contingent planning? michael: t

they arrived in september just after the general assembly passed a sweep of laws. i will give you a sense of that report in a moment with the reading, but i would just say it really shocked me to see two university professors making an economic case for what the segregationists were asking. what really provoked me intellectually is that these economists were not making the case in racial terms, they were making it in the terms of their discipline but it was clear they were opportunistically exploiting the crisis, the tremendous crisis in tragedy that was unfolding in the south in order to push through their agenda. in fact, when they sent their report to one of the legislators who was one of the leaders of massive resistance, they actually said they were making the case and the terms of their is a plan, letting their chips fall where they may and that phrase haunted me, letting the chips fall where they may. that put buchanan and my colleague on the radar and i still thought the school story was my focus and milton freedman was a surprise figure i was tracing for t

( laughter ) the united states needs to prove that it is a reliable negotiating partner. we spent two years -- probably secretary kerry and i spent more time together than we spent with our wives negotiating this deal. so let's respect the deal we negotiated. i believe the deal has a lot of flaws, otherwise it wouldn't be a deal. i mean, if the deal was 100% in my favor, the united states would be out of its mind to accept it, and the same is true for iran. if you have a perfect deal, it has to be imposed

listened to the threats from president trump directly including the speech at the united nations general assemblyhen the u.s. said they could destroy north korea and also coming up with the rocket man nickname for kim jong-un which was infuriating, really hitting the north korean establishment to the core hearing that kind of an insult from the president of the united states. they feel the only way they can communicate right now with the trump administration is to, in their words, send a clear message, and that message being that they possess an effective nuclear deterrent. an intercontinental ballistic missile that can travel to new york on washington. they would have to launch a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile, see how far it can go and show the world. we've seen other missile launches over japan. this launch, it would be more provocati provocative, and taking it one step further, this official saying north korea would need to detonate a nuclear device aboveground, over the pacific. a threat first made by north korea's foreign minister at the united nations. the words came from th

general assembly last week. it was an incredible experience sitting in the general assembly and listening to his speech. he also signed last week in new york an executive order which gives the treasury department the most extensive powers on sanctions that we've ever had. specifically it allows us at treasury to sanction any financial institution or otherentity that does any trade or facilitates any trade on go-forward basis with north korea. so these are very important powers. we'll be careful in using them but we think they are going to have a very big impact. i emphasize that's on a going forward basis. >> have they been exercised yet? >> they haven't. okay. we did have sanctions this week that was additional sanctions that we're allowed to do under the executive order. as it relates to financial institutions, as i've told my counterparts, it will be on a go forward basis. obviously we're concerned about historical activity. we're monitoring go forward activity and having ongoing discussion. so we think this
