he summoned henry kissinger to the lincoln sitting room on the second floor of the white house. they got down on their knees. nixon said, henry, you're not an orthodox jew and i'm not an orthodox quaker but let's pray. nixon started sobbing and pounding the carpet and saying "what have i done? what have i done?" and then the next day -- remember what nixon's crimes were. his abuses of power in going after his enemies, seeking vengeance on his enemies, much like trump does. and the next day at his farewell he said the ultimate intd roh spectacularive comment about what he had done. he said, "i gave them a sword" to destroy him. we'll see nothing like that, that kind of understanding from donald trump. >> carl bernstein, jim acosta, i

so henry kissinger is now going to explain to nixon his take on that. >> the henry kissinger who says, our terms will destroy him in private, is the same henry kissinger who goes out less than two weeks before the election and says the north has accepted our terms, we believe peace is at hand. nixon and kissinger were very clever about arranging it so that it looked like they had won when, in fact, they had just done what i think buzz lightyear called a controlled form of falling. sorry, that was woody talking about buzz lightyear. trump can do that. his -- the last time that they discussed their plans in public, his plans were to bring the last american troops home some time in late 2020. if he can come out and say, look, our troops are coming home, the taliban guarantees that afghanistan will not be the home to terrorism, and, look, the taliban and the afghan government are entering into negotiations about the future government in a cease-fire, he could fool some of the people at the crucial time for him. and when it all falls apart would be some time after the election when it woul

henry kissinger was u.s. president gerald ford secretary of state at the time in 1974 document that was long kept classified he demanded the massive d. population of developing countries and declared abortion to be an indispensable tool for population control. no country has reduced its population growth without resorting to abortion. where women in the united states were still heading to the streets to demand the right to control their own bodies american foundations and politicians were pressuring developing countries to legalize abortion. in the following decades a massive surplus of men was created in asia through the abortion of daughters the consequences are omnipresent in india today once again those who suffer most are girls and women of low socio economic standing like 19 year olds the jena. and because of the law maybe said on a lot of. today's said jean ellis with her brother's family he is her protector and saved her life 3 years ago when she suddenly disappeared from her village. flashback after

. >> going back to where we were talking about is henry kissinger once said the middle east there is some crises that must be managed and cannot be solved. one of the questions i would ask is can caste be solved? were only managed? >> i would hope it could be solved and the building inspector he could be brutal. and then it's better to be dealt with and it is comprehensive and what they are looking and that is what i see myself the building inspector isn't the one to make the repairs. and then it falls to all of us wherever we might be in the hierarchy and the greater investment one has been the greater the responsibility to work toward a solution but so all of us can begin the work of coming together and to work together to heal from it. >> do you believe we have a national truth and reconciliation process before we can implement the report or that part of the reporting process? these folks agree with you they think it is their job with their history. so do we need that quick. >> yes. absolutely. it is fascinating in berlin to be right in the middle of the city to be a very moving m

friend samantha power who goes to baseball games and takes home awards from war criminals like henry kissinger. and you thought album was bad so i was like a good day to start watching the us. on a cd. you want to. see that this is your choice stay safe. grace see this least systemic deception. which. as. well we're going to watching the hawks i robot and i'm in the crowd so it is a look at this i mean this is this is for and this is one of those really packed exciting news weeks for a disc of stories coming from all different angles let's start i want to ask you. representative cheryl. we saw these people bring in large groups through the capitol on tuesday on the monday before the day before the 6th of the 5th you know she's pulling no punches basically saying we need to investigate these people to see if they were there scouting out what what was to happen the following day i applaud her for having the courage to actually speak out on this because she definitely wasn't the only only congressperson to see these large groups of people that were touring the capitol even though tours had been c

and to what we were talking about is -- henry kissinger once said of the middle east, there are some crises that must be managed, they can't be solved. and so, i guess one of the questions i would ask is, can caste be solved? or only managed? >> well, i would hope that it could be solved, but i presented myself as a building inspector and the building inspector, you've been through that, it can be brutal. because the building inspectors can find all kinds of things that you may not want to think about and important because better to be dealt with or not and the building inspect is comprehensive in what they're looking at. that that's what i see myself. the building inspector is ultimately makes the repairs or fixes, whatever needs to be done. they're making the report and the extra of the country, and to all of us, all of us, wherever we might be in the hierarchy and the greater the investment that one has in the system, the more resources ones have, then the greater their responsibility and working toward a solution. i would like to agree there is one, but i'm presenting this as a r

notably, it's only been one award was declined the nobel peace prize and that, he and henry kissingerd to end the vietnam war. and at the end of the decline he said there is no peace. [laughter]. and kissinger famously called it in influence and said that i am curious to know if there's pressure on the part of the awardees to accept or if there's pushback that can happen through activists for heads of state who didn't get nominated to say hang on now. i don't feel like this award is codifying exactly what is happening. unni: this is really interesting as well. because when he refused, the committee never accepted his refusal in the never have. so in the peace prize is straight, he is still a winner and winner of the prize. although he never collected it. so they don't accept refusals. sequencing of thank you or whatever you want to. but if they have declared you the winter, then you are the winner. isn't that funny. or if they even have the humility or humanity i guess to listen to what the people are saying. so they do not take that into consideration. >> when the question is through

the next event, nuclear event in my life was in 1959 when i went to buy other than henry kissinger who had just published nuclear weapons and foreignpolicy . and kissinger has a lot of faults but one of them is not that he's not a good lecturer. and i got very interested in that. my roommate who was a lot smarter than me at the time told me i was crazy to read anything kissinger wrote on nuclear weapons or foreign policy. where he advocated the use of tactical nuclear weapons. >> on the battlefield. >> yes, and make them usable in other words. and i got very much into the debate with my roommate and learned pretty quickly that he was right and i was wrong and kissinger was wrong. who a couple of years later came to the same conclusion because when he wrote his next book the necessity of choice, he took back the idea that using tactical nuclear weapons was a good idea. >> the idea was you could use those nuclear weapons on the battlefield and would be gentlemen's agreements you couldn't hit cities, you can only hit soldiers and you could negotiate a solution on nuclear war to mean it wa

i gave them a sword, and the night before he resigned, he got down on his knees with henry kissinger, national security adviser and urged kissinger to pray with him for forgiveness, for peace and he started banging the carpet with his fists saying, "what have i done? what have i done to the country? what have i done?" big difference. >> certainly not playing out at the white house. i don't think i'm going out own a limb to say that. president trump's final days. congress override a national defense bill. and georgia's votes, inciting uprising only the capitol, banned from twitter and finally impeached a second time, which makes him the first president to be in that position. could you ever have imagined -- i know that, you know, we've spoken over the years here over recent years, and rarely are you surprised. i think sometimes we're a little shocked, but also not really surprised. in the end, does it surprise you how the president out-did himself with how he's ending here? >> no. the only surprise is that finally what he has done has been so heinous and so shameful and so, well, under

jerry ford had been captured by henry kissinger in detente, so that created a big opening for reagan. but i guess the point i'd like to make, you know, as we go through this discussion here is that i think when we talk about instances in both the 1976 and the 1980 campaign, there are many junctures where, you know, reagan is one step removed from disaster, and if he falls off the ledge at either -- at any of those points, you probably never hear from him again. and so as somebody -- as somebody once said in the sports context, great teams aren't always great. they're just great when they have to be, and so i would say, i mean, if you look at reagan's political record, at every point where he faced a crisis, and he had to come up big, he did. >> but often or mostly because he took control of his campaign or his own destiny himself. >> he was almost -- >> like in the nashua debate and the carter debate. >> that's right. it was always him. i like to think that he had a brilliant staff, but -- >> because you were on that staff. >> because i was on the staff, of course. but in point of fac

, especially social issues and most amazingly foreign policy, jerry ford had been captured by henry kissinger and dÉtente, so that created a big opening. a big opening for reagan. so i guess the point i would like to make as we go through this discussion here, is that i think when we talk about instances, in both the 1976 and the 1980 campaign, there are many junctures where reagan is one step removed from disaster, and if he falls off the ledge, you know at any of those points, you will probably never hear from him again. so, as somebody once said in the sports context, great teams aren't always great, they are just great when they have to be. and so i would say, if you look at reagan's political record, and at every point where he faced a crisis he had to come up big and he did. >> but mostly because he took his own destiny himself. we it was almost like the nashua debate or the quarter debate. >> i like to think that he had a brilliant staff. >> because you are on that staff. >> yeah but the point of fact is these critical junctures, it was him. if you're talking about 1976, he gets into t

he would have henry kissinger one night, mary tyler moore the next night and sugar ray leonard the night that. carl reiner might call in from his home in l.a. or albert brooks would get on the phone with a hilarious riff. that was pure broadcasting. and i've often felt that as great an interviewer as larry was in his own way, he was an even better interviewee. he was a fabulous story teller. i encourage people to go on youtube and look for the story larry tells -- he told it on jimmy kimmel. he told it to me at one time or another. it's out there on youtube, the story of his high school friend moppo. it goes on for six or seven minutes. not only is it a hilarious story, but this is broadcasting at its finest. the way he lets the story spin out, the pacing of it, the little side notes and parenthetical aspects to it, he was a tremendous broadcaster. >> i'm glad you called attention to that because you're so right. so many people remember him as the one asking questions, but he was an incredible story teller. he was a master of asking a short question that would elicit a remarkable answer

my shattered piece, won't enon on the bedside henry kissinger wife she loved it and she said, henry you have to read this book and he read it and he loved it. as a result of the paperback edition, when harry evans did the preface. he give me a wonderful blush on -- blurb. you write a book, drove it out there and hopefully someone will like it and talk about it and read it, and there we are. so that's my hope. and dream. and if not i go and write the next one. i'm only 76 years old. i have plenty of time for more books. okay. anyone else? we'll sign off. all right, everybody. thank you so much. >> thank you, david. >> thank you, david. >> patricia, thank you again. you are wonderful for doing this. >> during a virtual author talk host bid the atlanta history century, pulitzer prize winning author isabelle wilkerson cricked walt we called a hiddencaste system in the out. >> the caste determines the respect access to resources or lack thereof or deprivation, all these things that awe crew through no fault of ones on and nobody alive today is responsible for the inherited rankings and fract

and we started the administration with a meeting even before inauguration with henry kissinger comingn and henry was going to be going on a world trip pretty soon and the president wanted to hear from him what his opinion was in terms of the opportunity that was there. and then to really ask kissinger to pay attention to a few things and to come back and report to him. and this was the president's style. he brought in members of congress, he brought in senators, he brought in experts in the soviet union. he spent time with academics and trying to absorb as much as he could. i remember the thing that struck me and if you will read my bo "the quiet man" you'll see it in detail. the press started writing these obnoxious editorials that george bush didn't understand the opportunity that was in front of him, that he was blowing the opportunity. that he was taking too long to act. the "new york times" and "washington post" were the most egregious with these pompous writing editorials that made no sense and who certainly after the soviet union collapsed guided to that collapse by george herb

henry kissinger once said in foreign policy you never have a decision that might be good and bad. you always have to choose the least of the two bad decisions and that's exactly what truman had to do in 1947 and i think whether you look at the truman doctrine for what we did with the marshall plan, when you look at what we do with nato, he seems to make the right decision time and time again in the years following world war ii. >> one of the things that's so poignant about harry truman is the extent to which is great achievements get over shown by other people. we talk so little about the truman doctrine and so much about the marshall plan but as your book shows you never get the marshall plan without the truman doctrine and the grace with which truman left marshall over that victory comes through really sweetly in your book and in a way that sets up the coming confrontation may have over the state of israel. i'm sorry, go ahead. >> i'm so glad you brought that up because even though i have spent most of my lifetime reading history, every time you hear about the marshall plan you

great deal of time talking to my predecessors along the mostly republicans, frankly, jim baker, henry kissinger and george schultz. really thinking about were the kinds of issues that needed to be dealt with. and by the way, i always love telling the story to.o baker invited me to it come to texas. i said it was my first foreign trip a secretary of state's. but it was really important in order to show how to secretary of taste, former secretary can work together. also the importance of domesticf issue on foreign policy in terms of our relationship with mexico for instance or a variety of trade issues. the other part, and i really do believe this, is that america is a country of diverse populations in a number of different ways. and i found as an immigrant myself, that there are various ethnic groups that do have an interest in what is happening in their former country. they are a natural base for understanding the domestic issues of foreign policy. there are also issues that are very specifically she traveled around is to understand how the industry of a particular industry and a statere really

it's featured criticism from jack camp, henry kissinger and richard nixon.d one the treaty was not very viable, and they left the soviets with a significant advantage. and the question whether or not the treaty was actually motivated by domestic political concerns. does anybody know what i'm talking about? you know president reagan was making this deal not because he believed didn't, but because he was so unpopular in that moment, that his poll numbers were so far down that he was making this political. so nixon and kissinger for their part, and i believe to my knowledge that this is the first time that nixon and kissinger have released a joint statement since watergate. they thought it was that important that they come out together and criticize president reagan, for his naive foreign policy. so nixon and kissinger said, that anyone who indulges with the soviets disingenuous fantasies of a nuclear free world and the unimaginable perils. and reagan want to be known as a peacemaker, but he had to know whatever would happen the judgment of history would really

in the nixon administration of henry kissinger who was national security adviser and it's hard to remember now because we see this kind of aged guru starting with foreign policy within he was very gentle, very aggressive, very thin-skinned, brilliant to be sure and use his consort threatened by william rogers who was the secretary of state in the nixon administration who also knew nixon going back and they were close personal friends. kissinger ran rings around rogers in part because nixon allowed a part nixon recognized kissinger is brilliant and recognize he could learn were as rogers had nothing to teach nixon who himself was quite the strategist when it came to foreign policy. sometimes you have a situation with the national security adviser can kind of run rings around the secretary of state. similarly you had this issue in the carter administration where there is constant fighting between brzezinski and five answer secretary of state. these guys knew each other before the administration. they've had dinner the night of the election and talked about how the prospect of them working to

. >> when we ended the show, we got telegrams of congratulations from henry kissinger and ronald reaganthe size of the response and the emotional nature of the response that we were getting was difficult for us to understand. >> who shot j.r. and the last episode of "m.a.s.h." is the last call for the precable world of television. they are the last time that that huge audience will all turn up for one event. >> that's it. let's roll. >> hey! be careful out there. >> dispatch, we have a 911. armed robbery in progress. >> when quality does emerge on television, the phrase too good for tv is often heard. one recent network offering that seems to deserve that phrase is "hill street blues." >> it's one of the changing points of the entire industry and history of tv. >> we had all watched a documentary about cops and had this real handheld in the moment quality that we were very enamored of. >> you could almost smell the stale coffee. >> we didn't want to do a standard cop show where you have a crime and two cops and you go out and you catch the bad guy and you sweat him and he confesses. tha

the same as happened in the latter days of the nixon administration when that was the work of henry kissinger, to try to make sure that inkeyesingly -- increasingly let's say a despondent president, to say the least. i don't think it really matters to markets at this point. neil: liz, markets had an incredible ride under this president, in fact, a continued runup is sort of a final buying blowoff to his policies. others are saying, no, it's optimism ahead of a president biden and all the stimulus that he will likely deliver, much more aggressively than this president. what do you think? >> oh, i think that's true. i think after the georgia election results and put the senate in democrat hands, people were very optimistic when another, what, another $1 or 2 trillion stimulus bill getting through congress. i think the thing, neil, people have to look at is look at this unemployment -- or the employment report we just got. it is not a lack of money in the economy that is causing unemployment. it is covid shutdowns. we're seeing an increase in temporary layoffs, a decrease in permanent layoffs. i

a column just out this morning about a memo that jpmorgan's been circulating from people like henry kissingerears, not just here in the united states but across the world where nationalism really prevailed. i'm curious how far you think or how much that changes under this new administration and a new washington >> it's kind of an interesting wrinkle. it does feel like the big push for globalization increases in trade and multi-lateral deals and things like that, that's in retrenchment everywhere and kind of in both parties, you know, so you've seen as part of the build back better agenda a big focus by the president-elect biden on let's use the government contracting to increase demand for american construction, american manufacturing and stuff like that. so i don't know, it doesn't feel like the pendulum is swinging back it just feels like the pendulum might be swinging towards the kind of native stuff a little less strongly than it has been >> austan goolsbee, michael, thank you guys very much >> great to see you again. >> great to see you. becky. >> thanks. >>> thanks, andrew when we come
