henry kissinger, the record at the time is henry kissinger was surprised when nixon said that d decidesaidtand said to halds the president wants to go to red china, what is going on i think he's lost his senses. kissinger now says in his memoirs that he and kissinger are always on the one on this and i think it is true that when kissinger realizes this is an nixon thinking, he saw the possibility and advantage of opening up to china and worked hard on it, but it was nixon who was there and pushing it. c-span: you said in the back under interviews and oral histories that you interviewed kissinger in paris may 152003 and may 182003. what were the circumstances? >> guest: i was at a conference. i'd been invited to the conference by a friend of the new kissinger was going to be there and knew henry kissinger and very kindly said to kissinger look, this historian would like to interview you and don't worry, she will not ask impossible questions or whatever anyway, she vouched for me. i met him at the conference at a cocktail party and he said people talk at the end. then he started to tell wond

was henry kissinger and alexander haig i do i believe that because either they were consulted or not but whatever happened the distributor said no to the film and this was outrageous because he was making films like blue velvet with which is very risky all kinds of other films were being made that time with a video revolution. my film was thrown out so i had only you have to realize rambo was being made. chuck norris missing in action we were refighting the vietnam war going back to save our p.o.w.'s that was a big issue back which is i think totally misplaced and that the american people did not really get a true picture of yeah it was like the idea was we could have won the war if we really wanted we had our hands tied behind my back our back like like hitler said about the germans in world war one was the same. me i was living in a benighted but knighted society communication was not possible they would even release life so that's how desperate i was that's why john daly is a dedicated the book to turn down that he's he's an english lower class guy who says you know we're going to

one characteristic feature of henry kissinger's life has been the extraordinary political controversy since the 70s that has raged on ever since and in some ways it's off the generation of 1968 that came of age during the vietnam war. i am somebody that can come at this i don't have the memorabilia from woodstock to in my attic. i think that it's worth maybe adding a footnote because it means something different if you've grown up in the uk it isn't republicanism and i am not by any means a republican in my politics now that i live in the united states. i'm a conservative in the way the tiebreaker. co- kissinger was a conservati conservative. in the same kind of way passengers conservatism is a european variant, so is mine and that may be one reason that he thought it would work. >> host: when you say european conservative, are they in the national security realm? >> guest: it's the social issues and those things that i regard not being in the name of politics or national security issues. it's often the case people get confused into thinking that there is some kind of argument going o

and henry kissinger told me this — the united states doesn't have a strategy to deal with china.e its own interests — and i'm not saying that united states should act against its own interests, i think we want to see a strong united states — then what the united states should be doing is cooperating with the rest of the world. and as you know, the united states walked away from the tra ns—pacific partnership that had been negotiated by president 0bama and vice presidentjoe biden. that was a geopolitical gift... yeah, 0k. ..to america which trump threw away! 0k, henry kissinger told you that there is no proper strategy, and a slightly long quote to give to you, but it's one by the former m16 chief, the british, obviously, sirjohn sawers, speaking injuly this year. he said, "we must be careful not to turn china into an enemy." as you were just saying. "we need its engagement on crucial issues such as managing climate change and regulating international trade. but china's leadership must also understand they will pay a price if they try to impose their system and standards on other

henry kissinger told you that there is no proper strategy. a slightly long quotes strategy.s to give to you but one by the former mi6 chief, the british obviously, speaking in july of this year. we must be careful not to turn china into an enemy, as you are just saying, we need is engagement in crucial issues such as climate change and regulating international trade, but china's leadership must also understand they will pay a price if they try to impose the system and standards on other countries, either through the belt and road initiative by manipulating economic leverage for political ends or by more forceful military and intelligence actions. so, there is also an onus on china to be mindful of what has just been outlined their. china is not interested in exporting communism to the rest of the world, so mike pompeo is wrong on that. the second point is the americans believe that the american society, the american example is universalise more, so anyone can become an american, you and i can become americans, and they would love it if we became americans toner is different.

niall: it is true that most people think of henry kissinger as a realist.and the things that they throw around our march. he writes about that. in business. so maybe is not surprising that people remember that . everybody shared in the book, that he was not a realist. in the world realist who argued the united states should simply follow this narrow national government interest. but he was not one of them. and often critical of him. there were first two who got along with this notion and started to read his writings. some of which i begin to think not many people and done, i was really struck by something. they were critical of realism. they were . critical. and also revolution really highly in my story the 19th century. [inaudible]. site started to think that there was something funny here. so i started to de deeper into his intellectual part. what, incompetent 20s and 30s. and he thought germany in 1938, the surprising how of the critical needs of the foreign policies. many can't appear as a realist and very interesting essay because they were kind of nar

i'm a conservative in rather the withdraw that henry kissinger was a conservative. i'm a sort of european conservative. and you often feel like a liberal if you're a european conservative in the united states because things that american conservatives say are so completely jocular to you. but in the same kind of way that kissinger's -- [inaudible] really a european variant, so's mine. and that may be one reason that he thought it would work. >> host: when you say a european conservative and things that you find shocking, are they in the national security or realm, or is out social issues? >> no, it's the social issues. those things not being in the domain of politics that are in the domain of politics in the. national security issues, it's often the case that people get confused into thinking there is some kind of straight punch and judy show argument going on about national security. i've been critical in recent years of president obama. i was also very critical of his pred's sor in the book colossus published in 2004. i was extremely critical of the invasion of ir

the henry kissinger phrase, "who do i call if i want to speak to europe?"ssarily be the uk? even with a joe biden administration, there is no certainty that the sort of uk—us special relationship as it was once formulated would return. and no guarantee, of course, jeffrey, not least because of where the polls are. i saw douglas brinkley, the presidential historian, quoted this week, saying the polls are beginning to tighten in key states like the midwest. and because of the electoral college system, that could be enough to lead to the re—election of donald trump even if, for a second time, he didn't win the popular vote. listen, i think everyone was humbled by how wrong the polls were last time, although it is important to say that trump did lose the popular vote by 3 million in 2016. i want to go back to law and order for a moment. one of the things that is very interesting about the trump campaign is this appeal to so—called suburban housewives. and when you match that with the law and order campaign, it's perceived to be a veiled racism, saying, we have

it was given to you by henry kissinger to underscore bipartisan, nonpartisan credentials. and you spoke about the centrality of the atlantic relationship in terms of energy, trade, and regarding russia. but now china is front and center. you said america's future is bound up in the future of europe. does that remove the case now, or are we just being nostalgic looking back at the transatlantic relationship? what role do you think it has in this day and age? sec. clinton: no, i don't think it isn't nostalgia at all. i think it's realpolitik, to use a term associated with kissinger. i think one of the great advantages the united states has historically has had, which we have unfortunately squandered in the last 3.5 years, is our network of alliances. and there is none that has been more consequential and long-lasting than the atlantic alliance. and i believe strongly that democracy is under attack around the world. governance has not lived up to what people living in democracies have every right to expect. we have a lot of work to do within the atlantic alliance to rebuild t

he had henry kissinger to communicate that he was just crazy enough to order a military strike on north vietnam. he didn't intend to do it but he wanted to gain leverage in the negotiations. fact was, it failed. you know how that war turned out. trump's madman theory, the difference is that he applies it not just to adversaries but to his own allies in these interacts and often to his own staff and advisers, he keeps them on -- they don't know what the next play is. and therefore, they are playing catch up. the national security decision-making process follows the president's decision. it doesn't -- it doesn't come in advance. and i spoke to senior intelligence officials -- >> that's an important point. they can't hit you over the head with the unnamed sources thing. bannon, navarro, mcmaster, see san gordon, fiona hill, and others went on the record for new this book. >> that's right. i made a point in this book -- i spoke only to current and former trump administration officials because i wanted to get a view inside this administration. frankly, if you do me the honor of reading the b

henry kissinger is supposed to have said that decision makers, political leaders don't have time to learn anything new. so, all of their decisions and outlooks when they are in office draw, he said, on the intellectual capital that they had accumulated prior to taking that position. so, that's this intellectual capital that wilson brought to his position is what i'm trying to trace for you today. it was during these decades, two, two and a half decades, from the start of his graduate studies -- or actually close to three dekasd. from the start of his graduate studies to appointment of administration, decades roughly 1880 to 1900 that span some of the most tumultuous times in history. first in the reform of governor of new jersey from 1911 to 1913 and then president of the united states. wilson's thinking about politics, government and the sources of social disorder and order, i argue to you, developed in the context of the domestic social and political life with the united states in the decades that preceded the war. only later after the war broke out was the scheme that he developed appl

work first under henry kissinger, he was instrumental as a deputy in the opening to china.aping of post-cold war europe. and in 1991 he was the guiding hand behind "operation desert storm," urging president bush 41 to limit military operations to evicting iraq from kuwait but not going to baghdad and trying to oust saddam hussein. later general scowcroft had a difficult frosty relationship with bush's son, 43, after he wrote a column arguing against the iraq war back in august of 1991. it was prophetic. scowcroft was wise. he was thoughtful. i will always remember him for the kindness, for the twinkle in his eye, the warmth of his smile. he told brian williams in 1991 president bush was a superb leader. perhaps, he said, the best grounded for the job of any president we've had. we could say the same of general brent scowcroft. the best grounded for his job of any national security adviser since the job was created. that's it for this hour. this week chris jansing picks up our coverage after a short break. rt break. to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big mome

he had henry kissinger deliberately communicate to north vietnam that he was just mad enough to orderuclear strike on that country. he didn't want to, he wasn't planning to. but it was intended to give leverage in negotiations with north vietnam to end that war. of course, we know how that turned out. it did not end well for the u.s. so the theory didn't work in practice. but they still owned it. the difference with president trump is that his is less strategic and more accidental. a product of seat of the pants decisionmaking. and by the way, and this is key, a strategy that is used not only on u.s. adversaries but u.s. allies and even members of his own staff. >> i'm not sure when you had the time to write this after your other book, it seems like it just came out a few months ago. but, bravo, jim, congratulations. >> patient family. >> i hope everyone reads it. >> congrats, jim. >> thank you, poppy. >>> joining us now to discuss this and other issues, the arizona congressman who is a veteran himself and member of the armed services committee. >> good morning, thank you for having m
