since when do we go silent when hillary clinton affectionately crazes and describes henry kissinger as her friend? let's be there, hillary clinton is a pro-war candidate. if bernie sanders is not exactly an antiwar candidate, he is not a pro-war candidate. for instance, he is symbolically said he would never want henry kissinger -- who, frankly, is a warmonger and a war criminal. i just think history bears that out. bernie sanders went out of his iy into debates to say, look, would never consider him my friend. he is a disgraceful historic figure in terms of being -- i think we need to get a clear grip on what our values are. progressives are absolutely capable of holding in their minds and hearts two fundamental precepts and goals. one, yes, we must defeat donald trump. the other is, we have eternal vigilance to challenge the kind of corporate power, wall street friendly and militarism policies that are advocated by now and represented fully by hillary clinton. amy: do you see a path for bernie sanders right now to the presidency, norman solomon? >> i think there is a path to philadel

your closeness to henry kissinger's. . ays emphasized to me, emphasizing a cultural place that political leaders come from. joshua: absolutely. i never found someone as a more acute student of psychology than henry. that was one of the things when i started working there that was surprising. the amount of time we spend trying to understand, what is the landscape, the historical landscape, intellectual and cultural landscape in which someone operates? it's important from his diplomatic perspective, because the stakes are so high. but it totally changes the way you look at a problem. you do not look at a commercial problem, because ours is a commercial firm. you try to understand the concept in which it is and that it. it turns out, that is the key to success for any likely to succeed commercial china -- project in china. charlie: what is the product of your firm? joshua: i think it is helping people navigate, particularly in china, complex commercial transaction. it is, as you probably know -- charlie: to understand dynamics

niall: i will not channel henry kissinger. hannel him, you have read all of the papers. niall: he has just celebrated his 93rd earth day and is still going strong. kissinger would regard britain leaving the european union as a blow to u.s. foreign-policy. the u.s. has consistently supported britain membership of the eu. when president obama said we would stay in, he is only saying 1956.as been said since it didn't look great for the president of the united states to advise britain on staying. niall: this is not about seceding from an empire. part of a unique thing in the european union. it is relatively loosely structured. the confederation of sovereign states. they have pulled together mainly for economic purposes. from kissinger's point of view -- you could see this back in the 1970's when he declared a year of europe. european association is something americans have been in favor of. a world wheren most people would probably side .ith kennan it is a difficult question. george kennan's argument about containment was right for

chief of staff donald rumsfeld felt that if henry kissinger was running foreign policy and nelson rockefelleras running domestic policy, what did it leap with the president? -- leave for the president? there are other problems for the staff, they had to report through the regular channels and not just to the vice president. so, the whole experiment having -- of having the vice president running it did not work. vice president rockefeller, notwithstanding the good andtionship between him president ford, he was not consulted on many important matters and ultimately to dropped from the ticket in 1976. the last time a vice president has not been asked to run for reelection or election with the president. it is worth pausing to think about, why didn't be vice presidency really develop, as it later did, under the ford, rockefeller regime? i'm convinced president ford wanted it to happen. i think it did not happen then in part because they started off with the wrong vision of the office. vice president rockefeller's idea was that he could be powerful if he had a particular piece of the government to

john: henry kissinger said it's very difficult to prepare for leadership now because you live in an era where people grow up and i am sure you made mistakes that you would not jump on now. it's now much harder for people to develop those political skills when you've got social media following every single thing you do. tony: i think because of the importance of these political positions, we will find a way of adapting to that. i think the ecosystem of politics has definitely changed. you have to develop different skills. there is a level, i was going to say rude behavior in politics. abusive or rude. even the politicians in the end, it's a much rougher business. part of a problem with the way the modern world works is if you do for example, a debate on television and there is an audience there, the only thing that will get reported is if a member of the audience interrupts you, shouts or makes a demonstration of some sort. you were really is a new type of environment and it makes it very hard for modern politicians. they will have to adapt to that. they will find a way to do that becaus

because she was worried that people point out that henry kissinger spent half of every day in the oval office even when he was secretary of state and was on the phone with the president and night. she had a standing weekly meeting and she would have met the president and many other contacts. it's not to say she did not see the president but she did not have that round-the-clock back channel access. she was aware that that may be in on flattering comparison to her. go on the political focus of the state department those e-mails are fascinating. they kept looking at her poll numbers religiously. it was as though the campaign did not actually end. felipe was a very wily and bright guy who is her image maker at one point center and email about an upcoming cover of people magazine and pointed out that she is 66% approval rating which was an all-time high for her and he said that is why we keep doing these things and wait until people comes out next week. so even though she was allegedly above the fray in a nonpolitical job, they still viewed her as someone his public image was vitally impor

and we will bring the microphone to you. >> i am struck by the fact that you did not mention henry kissinger. he has got a reputation for being a great grand strategist. where would you place him within the frame? >> i do think i mentioned him once. there was a passing reference when i suggested kissinger like mcnamara had private doubts about the win ability of vietnam and whether it was necessary to even try to be in vietnam. in the longer version that i cut on the airplane yesterday i had a little section on kissinger. he is an interesting case. they were thought of the great american strategists in this regard. think he took it seriously and therefore we should take it seriously. i guess in part because of my close association with the vietnam policy, what strikes me is the degree to which deep strategizing about what to do in vietnam never really amounted to much in the nixon and kissinger years. tried tothe theme i articulate for you this evening, which is the close connection between political narratives and , and if you listen to the nixon tapes the degree that , both of them, it is

to this day and with all research i did including talking to henry kissinger's national security adviser, advisor, we can't be sure he actually read it. nixon did not love the cia. he felt he was pretty smart on foreign-policy already. most sources indicate that he did read it or that at least he would've read it to be aware of what the intelligence community was saying but he did not have a rich dialogue with its producer. even then it was tailored to the president of the united states. they change the format to look like a legal brief. nixon was a lawyer and figured he would appreciate it in that format. he ended up having a shortened presidency but before the end there was a new vice president. gerald ford. he had some experience but he came out to the cia headquarters to get a tour and during that tour, the director of central intelligence happened to walk walk him through the office of current intelligence. the office that produced the daily brief and other high-level analysis. sitting on the table happen to be a copy of the daily brief which he had not been seen yet because preside

henry kissinger stayed in touch johnson, just as president johnson conferred secretly with dwight eisenhower. there was a continuity there. you can argue it one way or the other. there was a continuity at that point in many ways about vietnam. we do not want to go with the massive b-52. those sanctuaries contained significant numbers of north vietnamese soldiers. it was reinforcements to attack americans. those two countries proclaimed to be neutral. they were not neutral and all. they were providing shelter for the north vietnamese. it was a very tough decision to escalate. i know many of the veterans out here think we should have gone absolutely to the mat but the china issue and many others, far more complicated. >> let's talk about 1968. ultimately a very dark, challenging year for the united states. we had assassinations at home. growing civil unrest. president johnson gave the in march of 1968. with president johnson having won a landslide in the mandate in 1964, what we saw in 1968 was whisker thin between richard nixon and hubert humphrey. there was a political impossibility of pulli

people, i don't know how many of you were hear last night but i want to correct something that henry kissingerbecause i think it is important. he said there had been no carpet bombing in cambodia that the united states bombed along a narrow five-mile strip and had succeeded in its goal and reduced american casualties. because i looked it up and i knew it was wrong but i wanted to get it exact. the united states dropped 2,756,941 tons of ordinance on cambodia and 230516 sorties on 113716 sites. so just to -- for the sake of historical accuracy. now some in the audience may feel that was perfectly justifiable because it wasn't a five-mile bombing strip. you asked about civil disobedience and indeed many of the tactics employed by the civil rights movement and by the anti-war movement begins with the labor movement, really. i think civil disobedience certainly in terms of the mexico-american war and several other conflicts, but the tactics developed in -- by the labor movement, when you took over a factory and just sat in it, as part of a protest, strikes, a moratorium, the knowledge of that didn

henry kissinger, when he was secretary of state. "who do i call when there is a problem in europe?" answer is principally, angela merkel. but in that sense, europe clearly does have its act together at the moment, more than london does. caroline: give me a sense of where you see eu negotiations going with the united kingdom. italy and france want to erase this through a quick divorce. where is germany, angela merkel to takeicular, wants things slowly. what will david cameron say on tuesday in brussels? >> in a sense, europe is divided into two camps on this. thiere is huge frustration wheret many europeans, they have had to put all european policy on hold during the course of what they saw as an internal tory party. first, civil war and that he massive gamble that was lost in terms of the referendum. one camp is determined to get back to business and believes that europe needs to roll out decisive action of its own. the other side, led by angela merkel, is more statesman-like and cautious. they believe if there is time left in britain for the dust to settle, they should have a mild

arnett: i was here through the conference call yesterday and i saw henry kissinger's presentation. overnight i made a few notes. [laughter] mr. arnett: i think it's clear from the panel discussions at this conference, the important policy of president kennedy, and nixon involving vietnam were carefully concealed from the american public to maintain deception. and the media policies of all three presidents attended heavy-handed news manipulation and intimidation of reporters in the field and their superiors back home. the objective was to proceed with actions in vietnam that the objective was to proceed with actions in vietnam that have publicly debated would meet resistance at home and concern abroad. our leaders endeavored to compel a powerful news industry with a long tradition of bold, moral reporting to bend to the whims of policymakers making questionable judgments on issues important to the american public. judgments often made far from the battlefields. in earlier significant american wars, the government, with official censorship, took upon itself the burden of deciding wha

interesting things, you talked about the culture and the cultural differences, your closeness to henry kissinger, he's also emphasized in conversations with me, understanding the cultural place. >> yeah. >> rose: that political leaders come from. >> absolutely. and the psychological. have i never found somebody who is a more acute student of psychology than henry. that was one of the things when i started working there which is most surprising to me. the amount of time i spent trying to understand what is the landscape he spends what is the historical landscape, the intellectual landscape, the cultural landscape in which somebody operateds. that is important from his diplomatic perspective because the stakes are so high when he is thinking about grands strategy questions. but it totally changes the way you look at a problem. you don't look at a commercial problem you because our firm is a commercial firm, you try to understand the context in which it is embedded. it turns out that happens to be the key to success for any likely to succeed commercial project in china is better informed if it has

i mean, again, nobody saw this coming, not henry kissinger, not any of the other members of the foreign policy team, you know? this idea that they would unleash, you know, the oil weapon even though the saudi oil minister had said we're going to do this. >> yeah. and nixon said, yeah, i don't think you will. >> november 7, 1973, president nixon goes on national television to address the energy crisis, and he makes a statement that you've already basically kind of told us we were going to hear. some of you may wonder whether we're turning the clock back to another age. gas rationing, oil shortages, reduced speed limits, they all sound like a way of life we left behind with glenn miller and the war of the '40s. but then he goes on to say, but there's no crisis of the american spirit. >> right. >> that would come later. >> right, exactly.

henry kissinger's "world order." how good was it?cretary of state rights in "the wall street journal." i highly recommend this essay, whatever your thoughts. tom: we have peter hooper of deutsche bank with us today. what a complex, nuanced essay by dr. kissinger. i know in each of his conversations he goes back to generaln, refugees, and immigration economics. tell us about the shocks to germany and the shocks to u.k. over the last 20 years of immigration. peter: no question immigration has been central to the recent shock. tom: prime minister cameron mentioned it yesterday. peter: obviously. there is no going back. the u.k. population has spoken. it was 52-48, but that was a clear indication this was issue number one. i think cameron's message that had there been more flexibility on this we might not have had this outcome -- pretty clearly, a long sequence, but particularly in recent years, and very recently with what is happening in the middle east, etc. -- but this is issue number one. tom: and point number one on education in imm

i have been more inspired by the work of jim baker and henry kissinger towards sort of more of a realismand i think the next president needs to have a little bit of that. i thought that -- i think some of the mistakes we've made have made generated through some ideology and haven't been steeped enough in maturity. but i do believe that again at every level the united states needs to be engaged around the world and i would encourage the next president to use every degree of leverage that we have as a nation towards that end as it relates to the bipartisanship. one of the things i'm most proud of as chairman of the foreign relations committee is there is nothing that has come out of that committee under my chairmanship that wasn't strongly bipartisan. and to me our friendship and relationship with eisrael and countries around the world, it needs to be done in a bipartisan way. when you get to a lays where it's breaking down along partisan line, you strain the strength of the relationships that we have. and the last question, search spend the bulk, a big part of his time, on making sure tha

our country faces the most diverse and complex array of crises since world war ii since henry kissinger-- that's a bummer nonetheless states focusg on pursuing a stale campaign pledge from 2008. the president would spend his remaining months in office working to defeat isil. he should work with us to prepare the next administration for the threats that is going to leave behind. he should don't waste another minute on his myopic, guantÁnamo crusade. just about every detainee that could reasonably be released from the secured detention facility has already been the released. some of our returned to the fight, just as we feared. some have even taken more interest in american life, according to the obama t administration. but the bottom line, the bottom line is this. a the hard-core terrorists who do remain are among the worst of the worst. the worst of the worst. is a president obama's onof secretary of defense put it. there are people in gitmo who are so dangerous that we can transfer them to the custody of another government, no matter how much we trust that governmengovernmen t. i can a
