a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations and a professor of international affairs at georgetown university professor. it's good to have you on the program. again, i know that you have written, you've argued that nato should now push for a diplomatic solution to the war and ukraine, you say partly in order to protect trans atlantic solidarity, but also to guard against to home grown threats to liberal democracy. i don't think these ideas are going to be very popular in keep to you. i would say that's an understatement. he, at least as far as we know from public statements wants to keep fighting. they believe that they can attain military victory defined as expelling russian troops from all of ukrainian territory. and if not, that at least getting back to the february status quo of a territorial line that began before this new invasion. you know, i don't think that kime is on ukraine side. i think that the war has shifted its momentum toward russia. it's going to be very hard to push russia out from the areas of done boss they've taken. so i worry about more death and destruction

i was working in senator hatfield's office on the hill and living in georgetown with old family friends. my aunt was settling into her new role in washington and trying to move beyond the near loss of her husband in late march. i was young game for anything and i think as all nieces and nephews are a good distraction. during my first week. she invited me over for dinner twice and asked me to accompany her on a trip to the ingles shipyard in mississippi to christen the uss, ticonderoga. little did i know these outings would find their way to the metro section of the post and as such there was no more hiding from my coworkers and senator hadfield's office who i was related to. five years later on christmas night at the white house my husband of 35 years asked me to marry him. nancy the hopeless romantic could not have been happier that this occurred under her roof. nancy reagan brought grace and honor to her role as the first lady. she was fiercely loyal to her husband and her country. always placing them first. making the white house a home americans and her husband could be proud of was

look, my wife, i don't share this very often, she was a division one athlete at georgetown.ed about a lot of other things and doesn't pay attention too much to anything political but this one really got her attention. she would say, you know what? when i was in high school and i had to compete to get that scholarship because my parents couldn't afford to send me to a place like georgetown, to get there, and if i knew that i had to compete against somebody, when i enter that track i'm going to lose to because they have a significant advantage, i would have been so, i'm not going to use the words, angry, let's put it that way this has been stolen from me. i would think that more female athletes feel that way. riley gains, good for her, going on "tucker" to talk about this. we have to come to some sort of solution. elizabeth, i saw it, my daughter plays soccer, she is 8 years old, there was a boy competing against her, he was a girl, therefore he can compete there. elizabeth: there could be injuries. >> the kid might as well been pele. elizabeth: there is issue of injuries, fin

earlier, i spoke to shanta devarajan, a professor at georgetown university.t at the world bank, now an adviser liaising between international financial institutions and the sri lankan government. he gave me his take on the situation. it's extremely serious, in economic terms. and that is why the people are so angry — because the reason why sri lanka has no foreign exchange at the moment is because of the misguided policies of the rajapaksa administration. for two years, they've actually been bleeding this country dry. now, that's why they're angry with rajapaksa and stormed the president's palace, and so on. but the point is, even when rajapaksa leaves, the debt problem and macroeconomic crisis will remain. so we have to be solving that problem — and that's what we've been working on for the last six months, working with the imf and various stakeholders in sri lanka to devise an economic reform programme that will try to reverse some of these policies that got us into trouble in the first place, and try to put sri lanka... indeed, but looking at the events of

one of them, a palestinian student in georgetown university, raised the palestinian flag during her graduation ceremony. in the presence of secretary blink and even snubbed him, if i scroll down and you can see right there, snubbed him after receiving it and refused to shake his hand. so a small consequence. but i highlight this because it seems like more of these things are happening anecdotally, and we also heard from neuron she sent us this video reacting to the us statement. take a listen. the american response to city ins. murder, of course is a business. it's toothless. it's apathetic, and frankly it's everything, but american foreign policy has been towards palestinians for decades. the u. s. will never do anything to jeopardize its special relationship with israel, and not certainly includes accountability. but what's upsetting in this situation is that it's truly the bare minimum that's being asked for a basic recognition that this woman was murdered by israeli forces. and for an independent investigation to be carried out by someone other than the butcher responsible for her murder,

we talked of the genius of georgetown, and the great ground speed peak -- the finances of major league baseball, for as long as one of the five i think commissioners who revolutionized those finances to the existential benefit of the kansas city royals. i hope he has a 2005 world series rain. and he signed my petition to. that perhaps along with this lecture series on churchill and his times and his time is one of my last last contribution to civilization. civilization and citizenship our words, concepts and really electric activities central to toward worlds work. he came back to kansas city again, i'm probably not remember this but to speak for the bank that i work for. in the early 2000s, and his schedule was empty part of the mornings were invited him to go with me to visit the negro leagues museum. he told me he'd already been there early that morning and indeed, he was on the advisory board. a citizen at work. i hope he agrees with me that recently the announcement that major league baseball will include a negro leagues statistic, is a civilization will advance. for this introduc

in our area, georgetown, huge historic districts, that is important. an addition, there are technical assistance that you can get, the ability to rehabilitate along with other grants, a small grant program, and there are a lot of advantages to being on the national registry. of course then on that, you have local ordinance. sometimes i think they are more restrictive than being on a national registry. that doesn't do anything to your property rights. speaking i was a lawyer, your properties on the national register, as far as i'm concerned, there is everything that benefits. it the only time that there is a restriction, if there is a federal undertaking and something that might have an effect on your property. and it's a process that comes into play. it doesn't happen that often, but there could be some impact. >> mr. tannenbaum, is this a full-time job for you, or do you have other activities? >> i have other activities. this is not a full-time job. as chairman it is a full-time job, but i am the chief and have been for the last 17 and a half years, t
