she revealed at this meeting that she meets with henry kissinger every two months and saw him as kind of a mentor helping her learn on the job and then she proceeded to imply that she was embracing a version of his and richard nixon's madman theory where the president is portrayed to america's adversaries as a madman an unpredictable psychopath who could do anything she said when she was trying to force the hand of russia and china to get their sanctions as permanent members of the security council against north korea she told russia either you're with us or you're with the north koreans and that she told the chinese ambassador that she doesn't know what her boss donald trump could do he's kind of unpredictable there could be a military invasion and she sort of claim credit for china and russia's abstention on that vote based on her application of the madman theory i don't know if that's true but that was the boast that she made at this secret meeting ok. we're going to have to go. and senior editor.

henry kissinger. mitch mcconnell, four instances for him. mccarthy having a boulder thrown through his office window. they've been virtually silent on his instances. >> not to mention pickup trucks that are being torched in parking lots at rallies and so many other things. how hard is it just to say that this is not right? that everybody condemns this regardless of what political side you're on? everybody condemns it and these people deserve to be in jail for a very long time and this doesn't represent the political party. how hard is that to say? you see some of the kind of diatribes the cnn went on today and some of the other news networks went on today and they just further deepen the divide that this has nothing to do with the good people of this country. >> sean: they are so upset that your dad, i believe rightfully, calls out fake news. we have watched through the years come beyond two years if you take the election into account that every second, every minute, every hour of every day they just trash your father, say anything they want

even former secretary of state henry kissinger was shouted down. >> henry!houting]. >> you are a war criminal. >> throw them out! >> [shouting]. >> you don't belong in here. >> power to the people! >> henry kissinger. you have blood on your hands. >> [booing]. ! >> [shouting]. >> what about your role in chile? >> [shouting]. >> sean: everyone should disavow this kind of conduct. no person on either side of the aisle needs to be harassed. our disagreements, we have an election in 15 days. it should be solved at the ballot box. democrats should be disavowing this type of behavior before someone gets hurt or worse. they refuse to say a single word. just as they say nothing about the caravan. that brings us to our 3rd issue. the growing massive double standard inside the democratic party. not long ago every democrat called for an fbi investigation into judge kavanaugh over what we found out and knew ahead of time was uncorroborated allegations. now there are zero calls for the fbi to get involved over the multiple allegations of physical and repeated emotional a

henry kissinger and mitch mcconnel. they lectured us you cannot call that a mob. cnn said you cannot call that a mob. meanwhile the rhetoric from the left is constantly demonizing their political opponents. they need a big fat mirror. >> if you had to be in an elevatorit who would it be? >> does one of us have to come out alive? >> please don't just come here today and then go home. go to the hill today. get up in and please get up in the face of some of congress people. >> when they go low, we go high. no.. when they go low, we kick them. >> don't i wish i was -- debatingis him. no. i wish i was in high school and could take him behind the gym. >> sean: or holding up severed heads of the president of the unitedst states. i didn't see a lot of criticism from the left. a little but not much. this country has got to come together. crazy uncle joe. it can'tyo go to a 7-eleven or duncan doughnut unless there is an indian accident and this is true of many democrats. remember hillary clinton? we cannot be civil with republicans. remember this? >> you cannot be civil wit

so when i heard the way henry kissinger was welcomed to nyu, it brought back warm memories. watch. >> you don't belong here! >> people know! >> you deserve to go to jail and then rot in hell! >> the man is 95 years old. he's the former secretary of state. but what you see here is even former gop officials are not immune from this kind of harassment and upsetment, anger. why they would allow this -- this was a private event. they harassed him from 5:30 to 80. >> this went on and on. he barely got through the evening. an official that works for the president. the president makes the decision to bomb cambodia or overthrow a dictator. that's not up to the secretary to have state. >> most of these people weren't even alive when this was happening. >> "halloween" is back in theaters. in l.a. the billboard that featured killer michael myers is wearing a new mask tonight. the street artist has replaced michael myers' head with maxine waters. >> i see it. there it is. >> for a moment when i saw it, laura, i thought it was tyler per perry's boo a maxine halloween. >> how did it get up

even former secretary of state henry kissinger, how old is he? in his 90s.e a look. [ indiscernible ] [ indiscernible ] throw him out. throw him out. [ indiscernible ] i have my first amendment rights. all power to the people. [ laughter ] [ indiscernible ] >> henry kissinger, you have blood on your hands. [ indiscernible ] b [ crowd booing ] [ indiscernible ] what about your role in chilly? >> throw her out. throw her out. >> this is the result of what you've done. >> sean: everyone should disavow this kind of conduct. no person on either side of the aisle needs to be harassed like this. our problems and disagreements, well we have an election in 15 days. it should be solved at the ballot box. democrats should be disavowing this type of behavior. they refuse almost all of them to say a single word. just, you know as they say nothing about the caravan. nothing. which brings us to our third issue, which is the growing massive double standard inside the democratic party. it was not long ago when nearly every democrat enthusiastically called for an fbi investig

when i heard how he was welcomed to nyu, it brought back more memories. >> henry kissinger, you are a war criminal, you are -- you're a nazi you don't belong here. >> people know, live with the result of what you've done. >> the man is 95 years old and the former secretary of state but what you see here is even former gop officials are not immune from this kind of harassment and upsettlement and anger. this was an invitation only event. they harassed him from 5:30 to 8:00. they dragged them out. you could see this on the video. but this went on and on. he barely got through the evening. but i have to say this, an official who works for the president, the president makes the decision to bomb cambodia, that's not up to the secretary of state. why are they yelling at him? yell at nixon's grave in wittier. >>> "halloween" is coming back again. a billboard has -- his head has been replaced with maxine waters. and uncivil democrats toeer side of the image. this guy routinely -- for a moment when i saw it, i thought it was tyler perry's "boo" a maxine halloween. i thought maybe. >> laura: ho

jeffrey: you and i have pastssed many times in the the nixon approach to foreign policy, the henry kissinger tactic of telling our adversaries, i am a reasonable guy, but this president, i don't know about him. senator graham: this is an easy sell. jeffrey: with the trump approach, we are not sure if this is a highly elaborate crazy nixon approach, or just crazy, right? senator graham: i am with you. jeffrey: you don't know either. is crazy?ahamyou think donald p senator graham: no. crazy like a fox. he won, by the way. you need to ask yourself, what was it about donald trump allowed him to win? if you can't figure that out, you won't win 2020. rocket man. we give sanctions, we relief sanctions, it didn't work. first conversation with president trump, this is your biggest challenge. itg term, iran will use because they are religious nazis. sell it.is liable to somebody should stop him before he has a missile that can hit u s. you don't want to be the guy that let it get completely out of the box. he asked if i would use military force, i said as a last resort. the only way he will change is

that is exactly what henry kissinger want to hear.an: 1973, he began as the chair of the republican national committee. there for 21 months. why? it was the middle of watergate. dr. engel: because the president asked. and if the u.n. experience was his happiest time of life where he discovered something that enthralled him, the time of the rnc was the worst time politically and his life. -- in his life. his professional life. he did it because president and decided to shake up his cabinet after winning reelection in 1972. move people around for the second term. he decided bush would be the kind of person he wanted at the rnc because he would be a loyal follower of the president's ideas. it became difficult because of watergate. bush had the unenviable job of being forced to go out on the stump everyday and defend the president, a president who he increasingly came to believe and then know have been lying to him. so like other republicans at , that time, the moment they realized they had been made to lie for nixon, that was a moment he

he's a friend of henry kissinger, he has him in the white house. so the deep state used to be quite pro-china. again, weapon sales to china, cia cooperation with them, looking aside at their technology theft. we were the biggest investor in china. we also took -- we were the biggest purchaser of their products. that's all changing now. and i sense the deep state -- if we can call it that or just the bureaucracy -- slowly shifting. and they realize they got china wrong and they better take a more cautious policy toward china. still cooperation, yes, but competition now is by far more important. >> let's hear from georgia on our independent line. david, hello. >> caller: good morning. thank you for this segment. i came into it a couple minutes late. i guess first is a question. actually, two questions. i don't know if mr. pillsbury knows of china's attempt to buy our excess energy, energy being electricity and to really be careful because i'm triggered to this in a nondisclosure -- are you concerned china is making an attempt now to buy up excess ene

there is a vip board back there when our speakers come in, henry kissinger, presidents, members of congress, and better, and on the vip board we have signatures and so at the top of -- as we were coming in this morning, we gave mr. bridenstine a marker to send a vip board and we directed him, henry kissinger, members of congress, canadian minister, you know, down around the logo. but the nasa administrator signed right up on top. so here we go. i had a chance to thank -- it's gone now but let me thank them again. master technology to they are our event sponsored today and we are very, very pleased to have them on board. can i say that again? thank you, maxtor technologies. so we've done the american administrator presentation and now we are moving on to the canadian administrator presentation. so, what we have got today for the canadian contribution is we have of course sylvain laporte, president of the canadian space agency introduced by matt evans, who if you know anything about space and canada, you know mack evans. i will givethe introduction and then -- is that correct, lynn? i can't d

i will go back to my henry kissinger quote. said years ago "this argument has the benefit of being true." ok? all i ask -- there are respectable disagreements in town -- but all i ask is that we focus on the actual numbers, the facts right now. the facts are painting a very, very positive picture that at the beginning of the year, almost nobody -- vonnie: you have been listening to larry kudlow, director of the council, economic responding to some of the comments that president trump made about the fed. he said that the president was correct, that it was a long overdue correction and tech and china led the way. the president has said a lot of things and has fun. let's bring in someone for their first time on bloomberg television. spent three, having decades at the financial times. >> good to be here. vonnie: your first question will be to react to what to larry said in the past couple of days. is this tech at china related? is it an overdue correction? i actually do agree with larry kudlow and the president, that it is a long-ov

board and we directed him, henry kissinger, members of congress, canadian minister sagin, harget sagin, down around the logo but the nasa administrator signed right up on top. so there you go. let me thank max star technologies. they are our event sponsor today. and we are very, very pleased to have them on board. can i see that again? thank you. we've done the american administrator presentation and now we're moving on to the canadian administrator presentation. so what we've got today for the canadian contribution is we have of course sylvain laporte, who is the important of the canadian space agency but he is going to be introduced by mac evans so if you know anything about space and canada, you know mac evans. i'm going to give the introduction to mac. and then mac is going to give the introduction to sylvain, is that correct, lynn? i can't do anything without her. and then we're ready to roll. so mac evans, to say that mac evans has a long experience in canada/u.s. space issues is a vast understatement. he was instrumental in getting the canadian space agency established in 1989.

did you get any pushback i think henry kissinger he would think it was understated that said, over the years had certainly spent a lot of time with him. they mentioned that they like to choose people. what else goes into other people write about military people or sports heroes. or even literary heroes. and people that stand at the intersection of the arts. who are able to love from the humanities. they tend to be very creative. that's ben franklin. i look for people who had creative minds and his creativity comes from the types of things that you and i can appreciate. it's not just unfathomable they kind of dropped out of school. they become very observant, very curious very much in love. those are the types of people i thought it would be a way to show how a different mix of ethnic groups. or the spiritual sounds coming down. all nailed together. to be a birthplace of jazz. i think i learned almost everything you can learn. what did he like. and so i put that aside and someday i may try to take on that. of time i might work with marsalis you always have things that you might go back

president, let's call henry kissinger, jim schultz, conde rice, jim baker. we have a huge interest in this area of the world. >> we have pictures as this man should be demanding answers, it's this photo-op with they're smiling. not only that you have -- again, we don't want to criticize how much people are smiling in their instagram photos, but i think it's germane that heather nauert is grinning ear to ear. again, do your job. demand answers and don't buy the cover story. >> we have no saudi ambassador. there are appointments that have not been made by the administration that are incredibly important. i think it's a real tipping point. we've already seen the trump administration pulling out of the old geo political order. i think this is a moment when europeans in particular who are already trying to create mechanisms where they can do business with iran. i think this is a time when old allies are going to turn and say this is not who we are. >> what message does it send the world? where are his morals? i say that out of one side of my mouth. on the other s

nation of the brave nation where refugees are at highest levels of government, madeleine albright, henry kissinger, people who benefited, not to turn their backs on them is not who we are as americans. if there are gangs and people who are violent they won't pass muster by our courts, they won't pass muster by the justice system but if you are seeking asylum for political and economic, you should be given your day in court and allowed to have justice in the united states and go through the refugee process. by stopping that that is anti-american. >> i don't think the asylum process. and numbers who come into the country and disappear here. the low numbers of people who get approved for asylum based on the current framework, congress wants to change it. that is another debate. i want to play something eric older had to say about how this president is using this crisis. >> the most important midterm election of my life, we have an opportunity to put a check on an administration that has been unbelievably corrupt and runs the country in a way that is inconsistent with all we say we value as americans,

-china relations as henry kissinger visited. welcome, walter, good to see you again. >> hey, paul.at you think the strategic shift in policy is? >> well, i think the vice president was signaling that just as china has adopted a whole of government approach to changing the balance of power with the u.s., the u.s. is looking at a whole of government policy in response, so everything from trade policy to military policy to alliance and development policy, the u.s. is not going to start looking through a china lens and using every instrument the government has, federal government has to push china back or prevent china from changing the balance. paul: so that would be manifest say in new tariff policies, for example, tougher trade negotiations, how would it manifest itself militarily and diplomatically? >> militarily you will see -- we've got some of that which is the large military build-up and i think this is signal it will continue and these new military assets clearly a proportion of them is going to western pacific where that's been talk that the balance between the u.s. and china

madeleine albright, henry kissinger. people who have benefited. for us to turn our backs on them is not who we are as americans. if they are getting some people who are violent, they will not pass muster by our courts or justice system. if you are seeking asylum for political or economic asylum hearing needed states and we should be given your day in court and you should be allowed to have a justice in the united states of america be allowed to go to the refugee process. by stopping that, is anti-american. >> shannon: i don't think the asylum process is going to stop. the numbers of dental commit of the country and disappear here and maybe don't show up for hearings -- >> it shouldn't happen. >> shannon: the low numbers of people who get approved for asylum. congress, if they want to change, they should be doing it. i want to play something former attorney general eric holder had to say tonight about how he thinks this president is using this crisis. >> i think the most important midterm election of my life, we have an opportunity to put a check o

. >> john, it's kind of like if henry kissinger was -- we've seen it before in terms of american foreign policy but this is like that kind of cold-blooded approach but saying it out loud. we don't care about the assassination because they weren't on our soil. i don't want to come down too hard on the saudis because lockheed is getting a fat contract and those are good american jobs. it's pretty extraordinary to see but it's not a departure from what we kind of know. it's just that we're not used to presidents saying it so bluntly to the camera. right? >> another moment where the president talks about jim mattis, secretary of defense, and how much more he knows about nato, basically, than jim mattis. here is this. >> what about general mattis? is he going to leave? >> well, i don't know. he hasn't told me that. i have a very good relationship with him. i had lunch two days ago. it could be he is. i think he's a democrat, if you want to know the truth. but general mattis is a good guy. we get along very well. he may leave. at some point, everybody leaves. people leave. that's washington. >

. >> during his time as secretary of state and national security adviser, henry kissinger perpetrated massive violence, massive crimes against people in vietnam from laos, cambodia, bombing campaigns. he is an imperialist warmonger who has to answer for -- which he is not answered for yet. thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands of unnecessary or -- unnecessary deaths. and those are some of the amy: headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. juan: and i'm juan gonzalez. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. more details have emerged about the disappearance and probable murder of saudi journalist and "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi who has not been seen since he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul on october 2. the middle east eye is reporting khashoggi was killed soon after he entered the consulate. the turkish government reportedly has audio recordings showing that khashoggi was dragged screaming from the consul general's office, forced onto a table in a nei

henry kissinger never knew about the cases. >> i called bradley at home at 9:00 on a saturday night and said nixon taped himself. what should we do? and ben said i wouldn't bust one on it, and it's kind of a b-plus story. okay, the boss says b-plus. i won't work on it. i took sunday off, and monday they called butterfield, and i remember ben came by and knocked on my desk and said, okay, it's better than a b-plus. >> from that point on, of course, it's a fight for the tapes because they answer the questions. am i telling the truth? is the president telling the truth? and what else happened? the prosecutors immediately subpoena the tapes. the senate subpoenas them, so nixon is early advised to destroy the tapes. today is the day you're going to get motivated... get stronger... get closer. start listening today to the world's largest selection of audiobooks on audible. and now, get more. for just $14.95 a month, you'll get a credit a month good for any audiobook, plus two audible originals exclusive titles you can't find anywhere else. if you don't like a book, you can exchange it any tim

and everybody would always say, well, henry kissinger. and i'd always say, no, it was judith benjamin who was the secretary of state of the confederacy. and still there was anti-semitism on both sides. on the north general grant, general order number 11, ordered the evacuation of the eviction of jews from occupied territories. he saw them as corrupt smugglers and black marketeers in part because they were in league with his father who he didn't get along with. and in the, and judah benjamin was the focus of anti-semitism polemics on both sides. the confederates blamed him for the failure of the war, and the north saw him as the evil, you know where, paymaster of the confederacy. and benjamin was one of the few people who actually had -- [laughter] a distinguished career after being in the confederacy. he managed to get out of the country before the war was over and went to england and had a distinguished career as a jurist. and he's buried in paris. >> why do you think that, i mean, i think you said in your book there's something like 4.5

china relations since henry kissinger visited beijing in 1971.er writes the global view for the wall street journal. welcome. define what you think they strategic shift in policy is. >> i think the vice president was signaling that just as china has adopted the whole of government approach to changing the balance of power, the u.s. is looking at response. everything from trade policy to military policy to alliance and development policy, the u.s. is not going to start looking through a china lens and using every instrument the government has, federal government has, to push china back or prevent jonah from changing the balance. paul: so that would be manifest say, new tariff policies for example tougher trade negotiations. how would it manifest itself say, militarily and diplomatic leak? >> militarily you will see we are ready have some of that, which is the large military buildup and i think this is a signal it will continue. these new military assets clearly a proportion of them is going to the western pacific. where there has been talk that th

>> i think henry kissinger for while was not happy with my biography of him. i think if he we read his own noble piece by citation, i think he understood his accomplishments. that said, over the years at a certain spent a lot of time with him and with a good enough relationship and i think that he understands, even if he doesn't agree with certain of the interpretations i put in the book, so he was somebody who permit on after the book came out pushed back and felt that i've been to critical of some of his actions. >> you mentioned you like to choose people that you particularly like come have certain amount of respect for. what goes into your decision-making process of you you are going to write about? >> i like to write about people who are creative and imaginative. people write about great heroes or george washington or ulysses grant and other people write about military people are sports heroes, or even literary heroes. to meet people who stand at the intersection of the arts and the sciences who are able to love all sorts of subjects in the humanities to

even if you look at high- ranking officials in the united states government, henry kissinger and madeleine albright came from refugee backgrounds. several entrepreneurs including sergey brin, the founder of google came as a refugee. we have gained valuable skills and resources, at many school risk to ourselves. as you said before, it's like shooting ourselves in the foot. by slashing the numbers so significantly. >> in addition to shooting ourselves in the foot i want to talk about the countries of first asylum which we are hearing about more often now given the numbers of refugees that were cited earlier. it generally means it is the first country that a refugee arrives and, that will provide them some type of adequate protection, a durable solution under international law, it is usually just a neighboring country where a refugee arrives and they usually take on very large populations of refugees which i am sure everyone in this room is aware of. that is also where we see the formation of refugee camps. in many of these cases, we are seeing these countries becoming very burdened by this i

she says ever since national security advisor henry kissinger e nt to riyadh in 1975, ths. has opened its doors to saudi investment, and eventually that road led to washington. from 2016 to 2017, public filings show saudi payments to lobbyists almost quadrupled, from 7 to 27 million dollars. and prominent think tanks have accepted millions of saudi dollars, less for buying influence than ensuring shared interests, bronson says. detoday, the u.s. has audi arabia the center of its middle east strategy, with a new combating extremism center, irjoint efforts to comba and its use of regional proxies, such as hezbollah and gain saudi support for a hypothecial israeli-palestinian peace process. >> those geopolitical realities are the basis for these economic ties. the saudis don't need our money. they have mone i what they waamerican businesseaders and cultural leaders coming to the kingdom, they want american leaders to welcome them into the communit of nations. >> schifrin: that led to cro prince mohammad bin salman's 2017 american road show. coffee with michael bloomberg, chit-

really important, henry kissinger, countless secretaries, have met with -- people that they worked with, to be informed. and not negotiating anything or doing anything except exchanging opinions where we are or aren't. it's helpful to the process, frankly and informed secretary pompeo's in a long telephone conversation we had before making the decision to pull out and he was kocordial. it happened on the day paul manafort cut a deal with bob mueller. partly changing the subject and sort of brushed back and other things. it doesn't matter to me. important to me is, as a citizen of the united states, we still have a right to meet with people and talk with people and exchange opinions. i wasn't negotiating anything. the policy of the united states when i met was to live by the deal. until the president pulled out. now he's pulled out. but and i haven't met with anybody since then. but what's interesting, jake, is that last week in new york, russia, china, france, germany, britain, met with zarif and all talked and agreed they need to keep the deal. they're trying to keep the deal. only don

it's our shared in the-- ushered in in part by richard nixon and henry kissinger.idstents itself in the of the culture wars of the 1980's and 1990's. we get laments about american decline. we vowed to -- when defeat the vietnam syndrome once and for all and we showcase american firepower as a solution to winning the first gulf war. the myth resurfaces in the mid to late 2000's, as the united states fights in increasingly frustrating wars against insurgents in iraq and afghanistan. supporters calling the legacy of vietnam and especially on the treatment of veterans of that war to cast any doubt about the wars of afghanistan and iraq. and supporting the troops becomes a rallying cry for americans in this post 9/11 world. america's i told it fights military -- it requires military expertise and by god, we are getting better and the political will to win. here we are 50 years gone. so, the consequences of this narrative are two fold. first, it perpetuates an american centered view of the war. this gets to some of the things that greg talked about. it invites us to ask

might not have been natural, how do you highlight, the chief of staff, the president's lawyer, henry kissinger, how do you make those choices . >> i know people will understandably debate this, but when i thought about it, talk to people, when i thought about what a federal library should be, i felt that given the history of this particular place because it had been run as a very insular, i would argue >> terry in private library, that the most important thing to do was to open it all up and to make clear there was no enemies list. when i arrived there, i was told by the private foundation that there were people that just could not come. and i was thinking if that were the spirit of this place, we would fail, the national archives reputation would be tarnished if we participated in a continuation of a nixonian enemies list. who are those people? bob woodward. carl bernstein. john dean. i made sure that before i left that institution, they canceled the conference before, we made sure i don't want to make it about me because there were a lot of folks that worked on this and we also had academic

it comes about, ushered in, before the war comes to a close in part by richard nixon and henry kissinger, it cements himself in the culture wars, as we get laments about american decline, the problems of a whole army -- when we showcase american firepower and technology as a solution, to winning the nation more in say the first gulf war. the myth resurfaces in the mid- to-late 2000s as the united states fights and increasingly frustrating war against insurgents in iraq and afghanistan, supporters of these efforts call on the legacy of vietnam and especially on the treatment of veterans of that war to cast out or cast any doubt about the wars in iraq and afghanistan as unpatriotic as supporting the troops becomes essential for americans in this post-9/11 world. americans are told that fighting these kinds of wars requires military expertise and by god we are getting better at it and the political will to win. here we are, 50 years gone. the consequences of this narrative are twofold. first it perpetuates an american centric view of the war and its outcome in this gets to the things that g

. >> we heard a lot of the story from the secretary of state, henry kissinger. time i wroteirst down this part because he was advisor to the president at the time and he was in the circle the secretarywith of state when they had this issue. he resisted what would become the paris agreement. what we know what happened subsequently, the agreement failed to stand. it must be admitted that the republican project failed to win the country off the dependence of the u.s. time, so i'm just .assing through education and the media. we have a lot of parts about .iterature if you have an interest that you can check out the book that we check out the book that we will publish shortly in a year. and also make sure to sign up for the conference. thank you very much.

[laughter] >> thank you. >> thank you very much for this opportunity. importantis is really to revisit the vietn

all to, that that started the other things that happened in congress up to the final lies when henry kissinger had told the south vietnamese that we would come back in force if the north vietnamese invaded? >> i wish we had a lot more time for this, because i don't think there any lies. lbj did not lie when he asked for congressional support. he was under tremendous pressure to do more in vietnam. 1964, a report in august the uss maddox had been attacked by north vietnamese boats. when my camaro i went to vietnam in 1998, that occurred. mara went to vietnam in 1998, that occurred. i spoke to some people who were on the maddox who said they were certain the attacks occurred. we don't have time to go into this, but this was not a matter of anybody lying, nor did kissinger gordon nixon lie. they thought -- the agreement was flawed. we had just kicked the but of north vietnam -- the butt of was, vietnam and the game if it violates the agreement, we will send the b-52s back and it was only when congress may that illegal that it was impossible to fill those promises, but nixon and kissinger had no i

do you choose to highlight, you know, somebody daisht chief of staff, the president's lawyer, henry kissinger. how do you make those choices, how do you ask those questions? >> i know people will understandably debate this and -- but when i thought about it. i talked to people, i didn't do this alone. but when i thought about what a federal institution, a federal library should be, i felt that given the history of this particular place because it had been run as a very insular, i would argue, sectarian private library, that the most important thing to do was to open it all up and to make clear there was no enemy list. when i arrived there, i was told by the private foundation that there were people that just couldn't come. and i thought that if that were the spirit of this place, we would fail. the national archives' reputation would be tarnished if we participated in a continuation of a nixonian list. i made sure before i left that institution, bob woodward, carl bernstein and john dean were there. the other thing was, they did not want an academic conference where any of the scholars were n

like henry kissinger said, you know, foreign policy needs to be carefully deployed. you don't just jump in head first, and we've done that a couple of times. leland: so looking at the map right now, and we know that you talk to the white house often, what would be your advice vis-a-vis turkey and is saudi arabia? >> i'm proud to hear the president say what he did about saudi arabia. he's stepping up, and he's going to try to make them, you know, accountable for -- if they actually did this. other than, take the opening that turkey's given us. leland: you said earlier that you would be in favor of suspending u.s. arm sales if the turks -- if the saudis were behind this killing. is there enough bipartisan support on the hill for that, or to the saudis have their claws in too deep? >> that would be an interesting one. that's almost like taking on pharma or something. i would think that the heinous nature of this and the bold nature of it, particularly coming on the heels of the hariri kidnapping, would require that we at least suspend the sales and get to the bottom of

good people and i respect them but i'm just saying for heaven's sakes, please look at the facts henry kissingerany years ago, making an argument, said this argument has the benefit of being factually true i've never forgotten that line right now this argument has the benefit of being factually true. let's enjoy it and hope to continue. >> professor kissinger when i had him said you have to do different kinds of home work i want what larry is saying to continue i think we can get there. >> larry, thank you so much. larry kudlow from the white house. by the way, we'll talk to secretary steve mnuchin tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m. eastern time on "squawk box." so market didn't move dramatically on his comments >> but i think he -- you kind of threw cold water on the notion that xi and the president get together it's a long day. you'll probably get another chance and remember there's earnings. larry and i have disagreed i do bottom up, he does tops down but there are moment where you're in disagreement and i have too many companies telling me wow, things have gotten weak and we have a fed that -- i kn

henry kissinger on china is a wonderful book, but he seems not to have done any real research on the financial crisis. a brief mention. i have awarded h eed him a gents "c." now, my color coding should be clear enough that you can spot my summary opinion of each book. these authors generally blame wall street for creating the substandard mortgages and the federal reserve for inaccurate regulation. now, my full paper includes a full quotes from these books, to provide the flavor of the author's views. and if you think i have mischaracterized a book, please send me an e-mail. many of these books exhibit what i would call scholarly malpractice, with regard to the understanding of the financial crisis. of the 53 books, i give 36 that grade of red, five a grade of yellow, and 12 a grade of green. and the red group, by the way, includes mervyn king, former governor of the bank of england, ben bernanke, former fed chairman, bill emmett, longtime economist magazine editor in chief. i had a little space left over on the final slide. i better keep working to get down there, on the final slide,

he's freand of henry kissinger. he has him in the white house.eep state used to be quite pro-china. again weapons sales to china. c.i.a. cooperation with them. looking aside at their technology theft. we were the biggest investor in china. we also took -- the biggest purchaser of their products. that's all changing now. i sense the deep state, if we can call it that, or just the bureaucracy, slowly shifting. nd they realize they got china wrong. and they better take a more cautious policy toward china. still cooperation, yes. but competition now is by far more important. host: let's hear from georgia on our independent line. david, hello. caller: good morning. thank you for this segment. i came into it a couple minutes late. actually two questions, i don't know if mr. pillsbury knows of china's attempt to buy our excess energy, energy being electricity. and be careful how i word this because i'm privy to this in a nondisclosure. guest: you're scaring me now. don't disclose anything classified, please. caller: i'm not. i'm just saying are you conc
