trump looks up to nixon, looks up to henry kissinger.n social acquaintances since the early 1980s and i think the fact that henry kissinger said that and is talking to trump as much as he is indicates trump is looking to the nixon model. bill: do you remember when donald trump took a full-page ad in the washington post? it was to criticize ronald reagan. what was that over? >> trump said reagan's foreign-policy lacked backbone. he thought he wasn't being tough enough with the soviets, he was letting the us get pushed around. we forget because time passes but there is a difference between the way the real politics way, nixon approached foreign-policy and in an idealistic way that reagan approached foreign-policy which included more of an emphasis on things like human rights, trying to negotiate on the nuclear accord. trump, there is the nixon school of foreign-policy, the reagan school of foreign-policy and what the 1987 advertisement showed is he picked the nixon school. if you look at people in the national security council, they are ni

so then as we are leaving, i said to one of the others, eating and a meeting with henry kissinger andhe chinese is a demigod.with and the other person said, leave out the demi. i do agree. i think the problem that we have, and i don't blame henry for not wanting to comment on this, i am, however, free. the things that have been said can't be erased. which is something that i said initially. we forget how much foreign countries listen to what we are saying. and when it looks as though there is going to be -- and i emphasize the "looks as though, quite different approaches to talked such as when he about a nuclear rise japan or various other aspects, i think we have to understand what the effect of this is. whether you can just blurt it out from the consciousness of the consciousness of the people we are dealing with. i do think we have to be concerned about the importance of the u.s.-chinese relationship. i think it is absolutely essential. and there are so many aspects to it. so i hope very much that there is a learning process here. but how your race what has been said? if i were goi

he talks regularly of henry kissinger and kissinger often talks about this of a way of controlling events. i would say couple of words of caution about when it's used. in the nixon case it was in the context of a well-thought through strategy that nixon and henry kissinger advised and they constantly talked through together about that. and the secondarily, nixon used it sparingly to tell penaople, don't try to corner me. they didn't use it widely. you do want to make sure your friends know you are a reliable ally. that you are not erratic. and you want some of your enemies to know you are pretty constant in what you are trying to pursue but if you try to corner us, watch out. >> it is a much more complicated situation right now. it is not the united states very communism. it is not biep lar. there are so many actors at so many times, can this same idea apply? >>polar. there are so many actors at so many times, can this same idea apply? >> i think in the case of president nixon, i think he learned as vice president. it was president eisenhower and his secretary of state who promoted what t

one thing i noticed in this timeline, in 1974, henry kissinger released his ss 200 to a population in romania, as a program to secretly cull or to reduce the african population. and then in 1975, president ford signed the national security defense memorandum 314, and the united states implemented henry kissinger's -- >> okay, tony, let's have dr. birx tell us about the history. >> yes, no, thank you for bringing up the history of aids. the one thing that hiv has been enormously studied, so we really -- we have blood samples going back decades in different repositories that have really pointed out -- and i'm glad you talked about the history of aids and where the virus came from, because like ebola, hiv virus is a virus that came from animals and adapted to humans. that's what ebola does. that's what hiv does. that's why we have programs now in global health security to really look for viruses that are making that jump from animals to humans. hiv is one of those viruses that jumped from primates and chimpanzees to humans. humans that were involved in bush meat and bush meat harvesting

henry kissinger made this observation back in 1866 before .e became secretary ago, i think i was here on this brookings state doing an event for a book, which makes the same observation. this is the first and most enormous challenge the president has. and so, the focus on personnel is really important, but as one of the earlier panels noted, the tendency tends to be on the high-profile cabinet positions. think,ugh attention i gets focused on putting together teams of people both within the agencies can work together and across the agencies can work together. because if you cannot get that kind of teamwork, you will inevitably have all sorts of dysfunctions, particularly in the first year when a lot of people are not confirmed. on average, it takes about nine months, and i believe it will be longer in this transition, to get everybody in place. philip and i both were part of the romney transition team planning in 2012. , andgan our work in july by the eve of the election, we prepared -- we were prepared to go in. prepared to go in and we had slates of candidates for all the senate-conf

trump's team is expected to sit down with former secretary of state henry kissinger, four days afterhe president-elect's phone call with the leader of taiwan triggered an international uproar and official protest from the chinese. kissinger happened to be meeting with china's president at the time call he took place. he was impressed by the chinese leadership ace calm reaction to the phone call which former gop presidential nominee bob dole helped arrange. in the fallout, newt gingrich believes president-elect is sending a tough signal to beijing and that is about time. >> this was a deliberate, well-thought out specific signal. he accepted a phone call from the freely-elected head of a democracy of 23 million people and frankly, if it is okay for president obama to go down and hang out with the castro dictatorship, it ought to be okay for donald trump to talk to a democracy. meghan: charlie, he makes a great point, when president obama opened diplomatic practices with cuba, by the way, not a democracy. 23 million people voted for the president of the taiwan, elected her president. t

charlie: why did henry kissinger go there?id he go over because there was an election here in the chinese wanted to get his thoughts there? ian: the guy is 93 years old and has been involved in every administration. he's very much in the mix and still very relevant and respected in china. he is still on top of the issues more politically and strategically and has spoken with trump. i have to think the decision by trump to take the call from the taiwanese president had to make kissinger lose his mind. his biggest concern all this time is, this is the big danger, the big global risk of this new world order. charlie: at the last china development forum i went to, that was all they talked about. richard: the u.s.-china relationship is a stunning piece of diplomacy. we have one rationale -- anti-soviet system. the relevantness of that ended the cold war. now for two and a half decades the united states and china have continued to evolve a relationship with significant elements of cooperation despite these protections of gloom and d

henry kissinger. the theme of the talk was the u.s.ld war ii, the united states was in a position of having a strateging vision by virtue of what it simply was, the decisive fiviktder, and a monopolist of real power. and i don't think either condition prevails today. at that time, there was a widespread predisposition to trust the united states and to follow the united states. indeed, the desire to imitate the united states. today, this is much less the case. we need to grow up in order to be able to lead the world. but we have a chance to do so because there's nobody else who can lead the world. russia cannot by itself. they can only do so if it becomes a satellite politically of the chinese. and then the chinese and the russians have to be able to compel us, which i don't think they can. and therefore, the standoff and conflict will become more intense and therefore there's only one choice. >> dr. brzezinski also reflected on donald trump's leadership style in what may have been one of the most elegant takedowns. >> assessment. >> an

he dealt with henry kissinger. his own private national security advisor. >> jeff, here is the problem. first of all we're normalizing donald trump again. and if you look back at the debates and throughout the campaign, it was very clear donald trump had no idea about diplomas. he had no idea how to talk about the world. >> the reporting is that mike pence has been consulting with the state department for some of his -- >> that's fine. he's the vice president elect. this is the problem long-term. donald trump doesn't know diplomacy. he doesn't understand the world. and this sort of phone call is mind boggling. because anybody that had a smidgeon -- the two of us. if we were president elect we would know that there is a long-term one china policy. we would not accept this kind of call. >> but so what? >> and hold on jeff. and we would at least call up the state departments, the experts and say how to do we handle this? and number two, in case you didn't know, donald trump is president elect currently. he does not ha

we've just seen on the wire services that henry kissinger, former secretary of state, in beijing to meetthe leadership there is saying he's impressed by the "calm reaction" of the chinese leaders to the trump phone call with the president of taiwan. but walte amy walter, why is ths causing such a stir? >> this is an unconventional president doing unconventional things and this is not something the traditional establishment would see as a good idea to do, especially when there's not necessarily a policy behind it. i think tony blair raised this issue, too, we don't really know what this actually means, the call in and of itself, as henry kissinger said, hasn't created some tremendous trouble in china. but we don't know whether this is just posturing or policy change. we've heard from the trump transition both sides. one side said no, this is not, the vice president went on television. kellyanne conway, his campaign manager, went on television said this is just a courty call, no change in policy. other accounts suggest this is a change in policy, the president-elect had been very tough on

the one china policy devised by henry kissinger and richard nixon.he chinese are ripped but trying to seize -- they will seize on what mike pence said, one of 60 calls, a courtesy call. try to move on. but they are looking at donald trump in a very different way. they are thinking we can do business with him. this is not barack obama who will bludgeon us over human rights. they had an open mind. their first signal is wow, this is a new relationship and we have to arm ourselves. >> ari fleischer tweeted, i hope this was intentional. he would like it better if it was an intentional decision. is that where you are? >> i'm the wrong guy to ask because national review opposed this. obviously you can reconsider these diplomatic arrangement s that have been accepted for decades but you need to do it with some deliberation that appears to have been lacking in this instance. >> he even said in the interview with him we will get to policy when he's the president. right now, this is about courtesy. theoretically, you should be already having a policy and then e

washington, d-c, prospective white house press secretary laura ingrham and veteran statesman, henry kissinger. but, no one seemed to get more attention yesterday than al gore. gore says "..the bulk of the time was with president-elect donald trump." the former vice president and climate change activist met not only with the president-elect, but, with his daughter, ivanka trump, as well, choosing his words carefully in describing the meeting. gore says "..i found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to to leave it at that." still no word on who's going to lead the state department under president trump, still the most high profile spot to fill. yesterday, trump's team announced his selection of his former republican primary rival -- ben carson -- to head housing and urban development. he quickly ran into opposition from prominent democrats in congress for his lack of experience. and as this process continues to play out at trump tower, all of it seems to some to really fit trump's style. goldberg says "..one of the donald trump, whether you think it's a good thing or bad thing, is he

goodman: another secretary of state, former secretary of state henry kissinger said on face the nationsunday that he, in his meeting with president-elect trump, found him to be one who acts by instinct. a different style than maybe we are accustomed to. i think everyone knows that already too. what do you think about that statement about sort of governing by instinct? sen. mcconnell: well regardless , of how he gets to a decision, you were asking about the cabinet earlier, i think all of these cabinet selections have been quite good. and interestingly enough on rex it tillerson, you know, he was supported by condoleezza rice, by bob gates, by jim baker, former secretary of state. so no matter what process he goes through, bill to get to an , outcome, i think the appointments have been quite good. mr. goodman: as you -- as i mentioned earlier, you finished up the year with a few initiatives we know of. we will try to talk about a couple of those, protecting kentucky coal miners, retirees, on health care. tell me how important that is. sen. mcconnell: big issue, my most important kentuck

he's also scheduled to meet with former secretary of state henry kissinger. that comes on the heals of kissinger visiting china and also on that controversial call that president-elect trump had with the leader of taiwan, which has come under a lot of criticism. some foreign policy experts calling it a foreign policy blunder. we're learning according to transition officials, president-elect trump had had conversations with some of his top advisers about opening up communications with taiwan prior to the election. and then those communications intensified after the election. of course, it's the real shot across the bow at china. really trying to send a message to china that he's going to be tough. it doesn't necessarily indicate a shift in policy, though. so, a lot of people scrutinizing that choice, wondering exactly what will come next. and, of course, you have a lot of foreign policy experts saying they hope the conversation with henry can kissinger helps it guide his policy when it comes to china. the white house saying it could actually backfire. but that
