well, let's bring in of the audio and he is an associate professor of history at georgetown university here in castle. great to see you. i've done, let's begin with. why did you think we're seeing such a ma increase in violence and is really military action. and the occupied westbank, including engineering, since the gauze of cease file began on january 19th. well, i think it's becoming incredibly clear now increasingly clear that as part of this really acceptance of the ceasefire agreements, perhaps this was even as trump was just coming into office, that there was seen as a potential green light for it to escalate its operations in the west bank, this of course is coming on the heels of you know, major noise regarding the possibility of annexation of large sections of the west bank. and so this is in many ways an attempt to pacify further the palestinian population in areas where there continues to be resistance to the occupation. while we are supposed to be having the negotiations between israel and mos me days, and by casa, and each of egypt for the next on the sea slide, the lease

this was held at the georgetown university law center. >> thank you so much, everyone for making it out today to our no holds barred. sorry. a conversation. oh, well. i'm just back from my vacation so i'm trying to make this as light and interesting and important as possible. it is really a pleasure to be able to introduce michael barr, the vice chair for supervision at the fed. it is a low bit unusual, i know him well. to recount his many accomplishments is a bit intimidating, since i have known him since his time at the university of michigan and from my earliest days as a professor of law, and then to look through the decades to see just how much he is been able to do, both in and out of public service. but i really do want to jump to many of the important conversations that we will have and, obviously, the speech, but just a reminder for our students, the vice chair for supervision at the federal reserve is one of the nation's most important positions in the economy. it is one of those positions that if you are really lucky, you will have the chance to if not perhaps be, at least wo

joining me live is a professor at the center for contemporary arab studies at georgetown university inhank you for taking the time to be with us. i'm sure you will have been listening in two initial comments from president trump meeting with prime minister netanyahu before they sit down for that official meeting. in those comments resto saying he did not see why palestinians would want to go back to gaza. i would like to get your initial reaction to those comments. guest: it is jarring to hear the president double and triple down on this idea of uprooting an entire population of more than 2 million human beings, very casually discussing their relocation elsewhere, as though they were not actual human beings. it is reckless beyond words to imagine the president of the most powerful nation in the world would seriously call for such a thing that would be illegal, it would be immoral, and at the end of the day would be stupid. it would plunge the region into generations of chaos and instability. this whole israel-palestine conflict began in 1948 with the uprooting of the palestinian popula

i went to georgetown university. i'm on the republican line but sometimes i feel a little sad our country has come to the point where we label people nazis and things like that. my concern is that when anybody, as a gs-2, i had to take an oath of office and swear to support and defend the constitution. i have a lot of friends. i have been democrat most of my life. i voted for obama twice. i was disappointed when hillary lost. i think the pendulum swung the little too far off. the strength of this country was always it is not what we do, it is how we do it. we were supposed to support and defend the constitution. i don't know if elon musk took the oath of office. i don't know if his employees took the oath of office. i don't think he was confirmed by congress. are we bypassing the constitution here? that is all i have to say. host: benjamin in alabama, independent line. caller: good morning. i would like to make a statement. to make truth telling a criminal offense. to discourage the sharing basic necessities for livi

oh, i'm a how this is kenzie is a visiting scholar at georgetown university center for content, free our studies and also former advisor to the policy and need to ship and remodeler. and he says trump's comments could encourage israel's government to return to war and garza and it's hard to know what the president means. i don't think he spends a lot of time thinking about the nuances in detail of any issue really. but particularly this one he's, you know, he says things without much regard for facts or consequences. so yes, we don't know. does he mean each and every single awesome? sure that is still remaining or does he mean simply the hostages who are scheduled to be released on saturday? we don't know. but he has essentially doubled down on his plan and to expel palestinians from gaza and not be allowed to return. and so that change is, i think the completion of the ceasefire process going forward. it's a mess and yahoo, who's coalition has been looking for an excuse to go back and restart the war. uh, particularly some of the more extreme elements, but nothing, you know, himself

well, its bringing up the and he's an associate professor of history at georgetown university here in katya. absolutely. welcome, and what we've just seen that demonstrates precisely and exactly why the sci fi needs to stay in place, isn't it because without it, these people will, the suffering just goes on? yeah, absolutely. i mean we're, we're talking about, you know, 15 months genocide that is seen the destruction of all modes of life and gaza over 92 percent of homes have been either completely destroyed or partially destroyed. and now is we're seeing hundreds of thousands of palestinians attempting to return to their homes to pick up the pieces of their lives. that this is exactly uh you know, the, the urgency to make sure to make sure that the ceasefire last because you know more renewed is barely destruction is only going to compound the risk humanitarian situation there. right? of course. as soon as it goes, jason sufficed to abide to get on the way. here in doha, just as donald trump says, there's no certainty that the c as far as going to los and now he's meeting benjamin ne

not all the elevator i'm to joining us now is of the on an associated professor at georgetown university here in catherine. good to have you with us. i'm to level talk more about the jordanian kings upcoming meeting with trump in a moment. but i want to begin with donald trump, himself said that the cx 5 should be cancelled altogether. the remaining captive on to leave by saturday. is he undermining the seas file? even his own mediation is why is he saying this? well, i think everything we've heard and seen coming from both the us and uh, is rarely leadership over the past week or so has been intended among other things to undermine the steel. right. so the idea of a mass ethnic cleansing of gaza is be the end point. and this has been the, one of you know, policy initiatives that has come from the trunk white house. i think already speaks to the fact that this, this deal was already on, on kind of its last legs to begin with. and of course, we know that the is really leadership never wanted to entered it until the 1st place, right? that this was something that it's kind of forced into an

okay, joining us here on the side of the lobby on who is an associate professor at georgetown university tests are thanks for your time. so, face to negotiations meant to start next week. they haven't yet begun that we see these, these far violations by israel, according to him us. what's the ok? well, i think the signs are not encouraging in terms of the enforcement of a 2nd phase of disagreement for a number of reasons. one of which has to do, of course, with the repeated violations by israel. we see almost on a daily basis, reports of continuation of the killing of palestinians within garza. we're seeing of course, the withholding of the very critical aid. and particularly the structure is meant for housing, palestinians who have been displaced, the 1800000 who are in need of these, these housing structures. and the other assign, i think, is the fact that there is no political will on the part of the mediator. the central mediate, or if this agreement, which is united states, we have the us president who's already expressed ambivalence about whether disagreement will go forward. we ha

you wanna go to the site and the see do is abdulla all right, i'm an associate professor at georgetown university haven cuts off to always good to see you. so as a to just describe the we've have these and that 6 captive exchanges. we know that negotiations for the implementation of face to um, uh, in the whole thing if they haven't begun to the much low ranking level already. but where does all of this leave the prospect of the ceasefire actually being fully implemented as we go? well, i think there's some, some important concerns and questions that have been raised over this 1st phase. and one of that, i think it, those questions is whether, you know, israel's really serious about proceeding to this next phase. because it would require it to fully withdraw from a territory that it continues to see itself very much as wanting to maintain a occupation, if not a full resumption of the genocide, a war that it had on least for 16 months. i mean, let's, let's consider the fact that that same deal was on the table for over a year. and israel had had rejected it. and it's basically the same terms in pa

these latest developments. joining us now is i've delilah area and associate professor at georgetown university here in contact. thank you so much. abdullah for being with us. we'll talk about the jordanian president's visit to washington in a moment. but i wanted to get your thoughts 1st on way you see the sci fi headed now. is it going to break down, or can it still be salvage? well, it can still be salvaged if uh, you know, if israel a tier, so its commitments and this is essentially what we've been hearing since the very beginning that there. but have been so many different violations from the killings of palestinians up to a 110 power students and guys have been killed since the ceasefire began. which completely negates even the concept of ideas of a cease fire. the entry of much, much critically needed 8, including, you know, 10 said housing for all of the displaced hundreds of thousands of people within gaza. there's also even to the basics of the equipment that's necessary to recover the bodies of thousands of palestinians who've been buried under the rubble for the last 15 months. so t

and destroyed much of the camp abdulla alada, honestly the associate professor of history at georgetown university here in costa, and he says, what we're seeing on fold across occupied palestinian territories is slow the ethnic cleansing. and i think it's becoming incredibly clear now increasingly clear that as part of this really acceptance of the ceasefire agreement, perhaps this was even as trump was just coming into office, that there was seen as a potential green light for it to escalate its operations in the west bank, this of course is coming on the heels of um, you know, major noise regarding the possibility of annexation of large sections of the west bank. and so this has in many ways an attempt to pacify further the palestinian population in areas where there continues to be resistance to the occupation. the slow ethnic cleansing, that is now accelerating at a very dangerous pace. and of course, there can only be a political solution here and one in which there simply is no political will coming out of the united states and certainly not within the is rarely leadership. and as a result,

i'm from georgetown university and i have a number of students here. i have a question that in the context of what was just said, which is i think very deep, this seems like a primitive question but i will ask anyway. three years ago, after people, a lot of russian journalists began fleeing russia, i was in the baltics and i talked with a number of people and i remember, their reactions and the question i had was if you were outside of russia, can you really understand what is going on, and can you talk to your fellow russians? it was completely different viewpoints. there were some younger reporters who said yeah, or online, we are still part of the conversation stop there was an older reporter who had been around for a very long time who said you have to smell the bodies. it is a debate and now three years later, there are certain echoes of that question so i would be very interested in your viewpoint on if you are physically removed from russia, whether you are in the depth that can -- that is needed, whether you can explain it and be part of that s

stephen vladeck is a law professor at georgetown university who focuses on federal courts and constitutionale you here. >> great to be back with you. geoff: so as donald trump pushes the limits of executive power. he told reporters yesterday that no judge, quote, should be allowed to rule against the changes his administration is making. add to that a tweet from vice president j.d. vance, who appeared to question the judicial branches authority after a federal judge temporarily stopped elon musk and his aides from accessing government systems. vance said judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. so that seems to at least raise the idea that the current administration is ignoring or defying, ready to ignore or defy a federal court order. how do you see it? >> so i don't think we're there yet. i mean, i think it's really important to note that even as we've had 47 some odd lawsuits challenging policies from the new administration, there's really no sign yet that the administration is affirmatively choosing to not comply with these court orders. you know, we just saw ea
