what i find fascinating here is an essay in defense of henry kissinger. dr. kissinger is elderly, now still a very important voice in what we're doing. but kissinger under new china as you would see it, what has changed about this new china versus a china that kissinger knew in his heyday? mr. kaplan: the china that henry kissinger knew in his heyday was a state, a state and also a civilization. today it's become an empire and it's become an empire across eurasia and the indian ocean that mirrors all of the empires in asia. the wong dynasty, and the early ming dynasty in the development of the belt and road road part. so it's not china we face anymore like henry kissinger, it's the chinese empire that will stretch all the way to the eastern mediterranean because the chinese are helping import development projects in greece and italy. tom: i mean, it is belt and road, but it is really belt and airline, isn't it? is it really a four-lane highway? mr. kaplan: it's different in each place, but to give you a generic sense it's a highway, link, real link, -- rail i

. >> president nixon will dispatch his adviser on foreign affairs, henry kissinger, to paris for thece talks. >> it is thought the u.s. is working on a new proposal to offer to the viet cong and north vietnam. >> nixon's strategy on vietnam was to negotiate a peace agreement but at the same time to vietnamize the conflict. >> we had to turn the war over to south vietnam, or it was going to be hopeless. we couldn't fight their war forever. >> the south vietnamese were taught to think like americans, act like americans, fight like americans. >> south vietnam's president thieu, he wanted nothing more than to gradually take over full responsibility for the war. >> president nixon started withdrawing troops almost right away. he had a lot to withdraw. there were over 500,000 men there. >> but he did this very slowly. as they supposedly shifted the burden of the fighting to the south vietnamese army. it was going so slowly a lot of people were getting killed in the process, and there was no end to it. >> october 15, 1969, vietnam moratorium day. >> surely this is a day unique in our histor

henry kissinger the former secretary of state to nixon who brokered the u.s. opening to china is someone who takes we know what kissinger's views are and we know that trump has met with him from during the campaign in twenty sixteen throughout his presidency and that view is one that looks at strong states assesses whether those states are strong with a those governments are strong and whether u.s. president can actually work with the person in charge of those states so here in washington that's often derided how trying to trump implements that is that trump somehow just likes dictators but he doesn't like all dictators he's looking at leaders who are strong and who he either can or needs to work with and then he seems to try to set up these rhetorical poses to put himself in a position to be able to strike some sort of deal with those leaders and work with those states so i think if you take a sober analysis of what trump is doing and admittedly that's difficult to do i think that is the strategy is he's looking at strong states and for better or worse i think

outside, henry kissinger and david rockefeller organized a real pr effort to putpressure on carter to do so. carter sat there, he was the last holdout and he said today everyone , i think that if i let him in that they will take over our embassy. what do we do then?in the end, he finally conceded and it turned out he could have been treated doctors in houston and in mexico the same way he would have been treated here he was the last holdout. he instinctively understood what would happen and there's oneother thing . when reagan came in and there was a bombing in beirut, we lost 241 troops. reggie bartholomew our ambassadors, reagan pulled everybody out. why did carter do that when the ayatollah took over? i'll tell you why. becausein february 1979 , there was an effort to take over the embassy and the secular government although appointed by khamenei had the police immediately take them back. so carter thought well, he will do it again. but again, he did prophesy this would happen and he was right. >> i know there are more questions but i think the panel will want a few more minutes an

an opportunity with president ford and henry going to land as in fairbanks, and i had a chance henry kissinger and president ford six hours on airplane, in their room, they have a room on air force ne and we were drinking martinis, that was an interesting episode, it was the course, days, and, of enry kissinger was against the economic zone, he thought they would retaliate against us. kept saying that will not happen. they need our species, they need our fish. theywill negotiate in ways can get our fish. and one of the proudest moments of r he took off out fairbanks, alaska, he was going to japan, he signed my bill, and so we have the 200 mile limits which i think is one of the greatest success stories as far goes.islation >> what about the endangered species act? effect on alaska? >> it affects alaska more so because we're small in number of and we have such a massive federal land and we have special interest groups that try to establish species that i don't think are endangered. i happen to be the last congressman that ever voted for the endangered species act. people don't remember when it

the irony is that high henry kissinger was -- for being willing for for not taking human rights seriously enough. how come you're worried about the. carter comes in and they were complaining that the other administration doesn't care about human rights. in america's role in the world, there are two overwhelming qualities. one is what are the interests of the united states, the other is, what is the character and values of the united states and the world? today particularly with the post war era they stayed involved because we had things we believed in. if we've had a president in modern time since lincoln i would say it was jimmy carter who said, these things we stand for. interestingly, when he saw the unraveling of the soviet union, a lot happened because carter was working on human rights country by country. he separated communists in italy, turned to the hungarians and said let's return that. let's do the things that we can for solidarity as it began. then, in the middle east is well aware still fighting with this is a great strategic and achievement. think of how much worse it would

we had handl the détente with the soviet union, reagan thought we ceded too much to them, and henry kissingerf that policy of appeasement. - i was disturbed when the secretary of state utterehis strong statement to the soviet union getting out of angola, but at the same time he kept right on packing his bag to go to moscow and talk to them about salt ii, and i said tt i think if détente is to become a two-way street-- because it's a one-way street now, used by oe soviet union tour disadvantage, should have unpacked his bag and said, "i can't go to moscow until we resolve this issue." - reagan is looking presidential. ford became kind of a president pratfall. he was falling down the jet ramp of air force one. he would mangle his syntax. he's portray " on the cover ofnew york" magazine as--literally as a clown, and erican people see him as kind of in over his head, and not a very good president. - i sense in the statements of henry kissinger and the decisions of gerald ford no comprehension of the grave situation in which the united states finds itself. - ford and the ford campaign expected tha

that there is a debate amongst iran's elites about whether they should be a nation or cause as henry kissingert. i think president rouhani does aspire for iran to be a nation state rather than revolutionary cause. the reality is those forces were already weak in iran. they have only grown weaker. >> so where do you think -- i know we started this by saying we're not quite sure what the strategy is or if there is a strategy, the two elements that you pointed out have been tried before. let's just go back to the bush administration when the idea of military intervention in iran probably reached its height, but it didn't happen. walk us through, for the sake of viewers, you know, what it would take to have a military, a successful military intervention in iran. >> well, when you talk to former u.s. officials, even current u.s. officials, even israeli officials for that matter about military conflict with iran, what they say is that it's not -- wouldn't be a full-scale intervention like iraq. it would be more targeted military strikes against iran's nuclear facilities which are dispersed around th

henry kissinger said to me you will be surprised how little he tries to dharm ycharm you. >> i want toyou another line from john mccain because i think john mccain was trying to place this in our history. he said not only did president trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary, but our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are, a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. >> well, that's the great american -- insofar as we are an exceptional country, that is where our exceptionalism has been. general powell said we projected force and all we asked for is the ground on which to bury our dead. there is a lot to that. i'm not saying we're a blameless country. far from it. but we have, in fact, defined ourselves as what lincoln's called us the last best hope and president reagan, god knows what he's thinking at this point, saying the last best home of man on earth. i think that we have reached a point where there is a significant -- it's not irreparable, but it is a hugely significant breach in our ongoing faith with the global commun

henry kissinger, and henry kissinger'most trusted advisors. own secretary of state, and his secretary of defense do not know about these secret talks. imagine you're the guy in charge and your own president doesn't tell you. really interesting stuff. jesse? student: is there a reason why he did not tell the secretary state? prof. asselin: nixon doesn't trust anyone anything's this is too sensitive. only those he trusts most will be trusted with this. trust anyone anything's this is as he is undertaking the secret diplomacy, nixon also very boldly decides to go after communist sanctuaries and supply lines in laos and cambodia. 1970, the u.s. and south vietnamese army invade cambodia. a year later, the south vietnamese army with american air support invades laos. to nixon, it makes sense. i will go after the supply lines that feed the communist war effort in the south. the thing is, nixon is supposed to be the war, and now he is invading two other countries. that did not sit too well with some people in the u.s.. nixon recognizes that moscow and
