kissinger, i find it full of things that. if you fall asleep and break your -- drop it on your leg it will break it. i want to talk about the book and then you can ask them questions. the impetus of this book was really, like many americans, last summer witness the debt limit debacle and i witnessed this up we were still in two wars in the other side of the world and i was aware of the middle class and the median income was the same as the was as it was in 2006 in for the last 25 years basically stagnant. i found for the last 25 years, basically do you really think anything is going to get done. i'm feeling hopeless. i decided to write it out. i don't have my hands on the leverage of power. poorer citizens just like you. so what can i do? one thing i can do is bring whatever experience i had in the moment and talk to the american people as best they could and that's what i've tried to do. i try to remind people we have different problems in the past. depression after depression. we fight wars. there've been times when the str

you hear on the tapes him talking to kissinger and kissinger very enthusiastically embracing the wire tapping of reporters and kissinger saying they must be destroyed, about the reporters and those who might be talking to the reporters. this became the m.o. of the nixon presidency. >> and there was a sense of, we have total power. and no one is ever going to hold us accountable. just the installation of the taping system. you would think somebody would have a little pause and say, well, maybe somebody's going to get these tapes or find out about the system. you go to the nixon library in california. they have little dollhouse mock-up of the oval office and it says press a button and a red light will go on, where each microphone was in the oval office. you press it. and you almost jump back. >> that's right. >> because there are five microphones on the desk. there are microphones in the chandeliers. and, you know, who is -- who is thinking? i mean, you know, carl and i have often talked about if there was one good lawyer, one strong lawyer who knew early on about some of this stuff mig

kissinger, i find it full of incites. and i want to say to members of the committee, just be careful. don't read it in bed because you fall asleep and if it hits your bread you will -- your like you'll break it. so, now tonight i want to talk a little bit. the impetus for this book, like many americans, last summer the debacle, i witnessed the fact that we are still in two wars and the of the side of the world. i was aware of the difficulties of the middle-class of the country, not just for a few years, but for the median income in 2010 the same as it was in 1996. for the last 25 years basically it has been stagnant. i found last summer people calling up to me might be because i was in the senate and politics for a while. do you really think that anything is going to get done? i'm dealing hopeless. and so i have decided to write a book. i'm just a citizen. i don't have my hands on the levers of power. injustices and, just like you. so what can i do? well, one thing i could do is try to bring whatever experience i have to

thank you all for being l -si kissinger who said a man who needs no introduction and kissinger said yesbut i always enjoy it. i thank you all for being here. it's nice to see old friends. it's always a bit nostaico ith l rindan pa. we went through very difficu times together, but we also went thugh times that forged bonds, i t k lhip, honor, dgnith playa u are his fot back on experiences as a great honor to inucteiaboute ofthose w jus marines, they're not very smart. but they can be pretty stubborn. the vietnamese found that out. by the way, i amris frhe naval academy i tri to get a memory core, but my parents were married.

kissinger and le duc tho? >> guest: in 1973, kissinger, national security adviser and le duc tho then the paris agreement. this is supposed to be a truce of the vietnam war and was immediately exclusive. but the norwegian committee gets the prize to le duc tho. and the fall of 9073 kissinger was a little in various. >> host: unique solutions and into other nobel winners. just i think make relations with nixon a little bit awkward. worked so hard for peace with honor as we called it in the united states. but kissinger gets it and refuses the prize, which is an insult. in a way kissinger doesn't go to collect dead. and in 1975 icon falls the treaty has not seen, he tries to return the prize. the metal diploma and the money under the regions and also told them essentially the peace prize is not returnable. you earned it from what you did then. it is not contingent on future success. when you win the work you for the time but kissinger says in his memoir he would've rather won the nobel peace prize for the shuttle

richard nixon not because he was a liberal because he was fried no movement was a great scene in kissinger's memoirs please don't go by the book where the white house is surrounded by buses huge anywhere demonstration they have seventy one and nixon and kissinger stand in the window and nixon is going to henry henry they're going to they're going to break through the barricades and get us well that's precisely where you want power people empowered to be and are moved into or broken in the name of any communism. or liberal. we were sensibly left defenseless and that's why i have been a supporter of the occupy movement because i think it's only through movements that we're going to regain any kind of power and begin to push back against this system and if we don't then we are going to live in what sheldon will and calls kind of inverted totalitarianism a kind of corporate fascism which is not classical fascism partly for the reasons you pointed out because it's faceless. what we're going to find out more about what the occupy movement is actually doing as they gather in philadelphia next but i

one of the things that he did was prayed with henry kissinger. but there were more hours. maybe he went wandering. who knows? it's very important that it not become a witch hunt to get at reporter's sources and particularly to haul reporters into court that more often than not that the claim of national security has been violated by a newspaper or the press, as ben bradley said many, many years ago, that it's almost always bogus. at the same time, people in government take an oath that they are not going to disclose national security information. and you can have a legitimate jury, it seems to me. but you have to be very, very careful that this does not turn into something that's totally unjustified. president obama the other day made a statement that his white house is not responsible for leaking national security information. and it seems to me that he's going to have to find out if what he said is really true. >> "the new york times" is concerned that people will assume that somehow this information was all laid out to them rather than the benefit of a lot of hard -- >>

kissinger comes back and says obama is to hawkish on china but he believes it. i have a view on this but with president romney he will declare china -- which is wrong but obama's said he would close guantanamo. that is not happening. i don't care. when it is david axelrod against karl rove i try to dispense. >> what do you think he will do? >> [inaudible] >> i am rarely aligned with policy. with my personal narrative and -- . [inaudible] but it was pragmatic and smart. leaving that aside, when obama was asked he said al qaeda. [inaudible] i'd think there is much more substance in our relationship. therefore to that extent. [no audio] with those u.s. global lead standards. we really want to. with the interest in iran iran, they don't feel that way. the chinese have a win-win. they don't believe in themselves. [no audio] be honest about what we will do. >> [no audio] we're doing more surveillance more than the chinese did building submarines and things like that. our ships and planes our watching. they really don't like at and fishing boats and oceanographic vesse

i have him walking with kissinger.w lot of players in the book that we are here for the four did ministrations people are on the political scene now. anybody know of the ford white house? his first one? >> then he became the chief of staff then the campaign manager. romney has a lot of good and bad stories to talk about. here is in the senate -- in nixon and cheney. then we have kissinger and rumsfeld. let me read one small excerpt from 196 when ford was running for the presidency. >> i recorded i described it myself as a cannibalistic period. the warehouse does not seem to be much fun anymore. this said jack came to see me in the press office reserving his father. i wonder how many people can sleep if they know they let my father down? working down here 16 or 18 1/2 knows trouble sleeping at all. by the end rework working hard for his father. that summarizes the way he writes with the white house. is good for a student considering journalism or political science. i had vampire books, did people grave robbers, that was

i feel that dave kissinger has a knack gnostic view.i fear that the challenge is that they are facing are greater than any significant economy is based in a very long time. i know their government is smarter. that's a good thing. it doesn't mean they're capable putting the fix is in place. this economy has to fundamentally shift economic and political systems in a relatively short time. many of them are highly not individual to do that. i was asked last night what keeps me awake at night. and my response was that i believed to be well if they were one thing that would keep me awake at night, it would be wikileaks in china. because in u.s., we don't know any thing. we know of is that because different talks and america. wikileaks in china strikes me is the kind of thing you have execution income you could easily have a military coup. it actually was transparent about how billionaires engaging each other at the top of the chinese party system. i don't know what the likeliest, so i went to the guys writing this new book on technology and s

nixon administration and kissinger administration and roger porter and george w. bush administration. i also want to note that this discussion was not happening with the judicial backing. you look at the case from 1915 and curtis wright and youngstown, these cases are almost household names and they reflect the judicial recognition of the special role both domestic and international affairs. i will end by noting the passage of time matters and to the extend that presidential powers are changing in competition among different congressional committees to enlarge them in an executive branch that involves agencies with overhappening jurisdictions. they often place the president in a strong role where the role of the president is to deconflict and coordinate different agencies. submit that courts also face great constraints, some of these constraints are from standing constraints. should be in recognizing that the courts have an important role but further recognizing that the rule of law is in our own hands, and by that i mean in the hands of people who are appointed t

make phone calls, and so i felt like i was dealing with a group of paranoids, only the kind that as kissingeraid even paranoids have enemies and these guys really had enemies. so one of the puzzles was for me how to figure out how to communicate with him? >> and he did talk to you, and how did you do that? >> well, the truth of the story, i had help. there was somebody i had interviewed literally eight years earlier and i had stood on her doorstep and rung her doorbell and she was not home, and i left her a note who was a lawyer inside of the apartment, and she was also a whistle-blower inside of the john walker case, and she ran a center for whistle-blowers and she worked with tom drake. the reason i was interested in this story is that by the time drake was prosecuted, obama was president, and we were supposed to be entering into a new regime with a president who had been a constitutional law professor and i was curious about whether some of the people who had been the whistle-blowers during the bush years about abuses of government in the war on terror, and if they would have a different,

kissinger, roger porter in the jovmt hw bush administration. this discussion was not happening with a judicial vacuum. if you look at the midwest oil case from 1915. curtis wright, youngstown and moore these cases are almost household names for law school. they reflected judicial recognition of the executive role of the executive affairs. the passage of time matters to the extent that presidential powers changing in nature i would argue that it's partly something that is being driven by congress. and in part it's being driven by a competition among different congressional committees to enlarge the jurisdictions of particular agencies and results in executive branch that often involves agencies with overlapping jurisdictions. these jurisdictions often place the president in a strange role where the role of the president is in part to deconflict and figure out how to coordinate different agencies. it's important for us to recognize that courts have a very important and central role in our system. but when it comes to the issue of supervising and

and we have henry kissinger and rumsfeld in that picture. so let me just read one small excerpt from this book. this is from 76 when ford was running for the presidency against ronald reagan. i recorded in my oral diary this white house is not showing grace under fire. i described the recent primary losses and finger pointing as can a ballistics of the towering period and white house doesn't seem to be as much fun anymore. seems to be all hard work and long hours and little fun. in this period the president's -- how badly the white house staff generally and the press office specifically were serving his father. people around here can go home at night when they realize how they are letting my father down. i don't have trouble when i go home because i worked here 18 hours a day. when i get home i am tired from all that work and don't have trouble sleeping at all. the conversation went on for two hours and by the end, i and other staff members were working hard for his father. that summarizes the way that he writes about his interactions with t
