his area was foreign-policy understanding the world was he another version of a henry kissinger. did he combine that they do that with getting things done in washington? >> there are some overlapping themes one is ambition and one is ten is holbrooke played a ton of tennis and he rose up through the hierarchy in saigon and then in washington to be so competitive. first it was tony lake who was his close friend and peer in foreign service in saigon and they remained friends ten years and the amish one - - friendship mysteriously disintegrated with consequences for them in us foreign policy later working to gather over bosnia under clinton then eventually got to bobby kennedy in washington. this is helpful book with over to be invited to the best dinner tables in georgetown. he was opposed generation of american statesman and he preferred george marshall and thought of them as the model. he wanted to be just like them. but the problem is he was a very different man not born to the lost aristocracy. he was jewish although he never talked about it that kept getting in his way as well

people talk about what a brilliant -- with the another version of a henry kissinger? see him and his take on the world as a diplomat? how did he combine that with getting things done in washington? >> so a few things. first of all there's some overlapping themes between peter and susan spoken my. one is ambition and one is tennis. holbrooke played a part of tennis and have the feeling that he rose up through the hierarchy in saigon and then washington by whipping people on the tennis court, at least being so competitive they had to respect to first there was anthony lake it was his close friend and peer in the foreign service in saigon and they remained friends about ten years and in the friendship mysteriously disintegrated with great consequences for event and for u.s. foreign policy i think later when you're working together on bosnia under bill clinton. then he started playing tennis against westmoreland and maxwell taylor in saigon and eventually got to bobby kennedy in washington. this is how holbrooke maneuvered in order to be invited to the best dinner tables

bakers likes kissinger in the sense they took on the big thursday.as not -- decide not thick east timor was worth his time and was very calculating in that sense but not like kissinger in the didn't heal a great world strategy, geopolitical view of things. he was a fixer, lawyer who knew how to negotiate, political operative who knew how to get legislation through or campaign leader who could negotiate the base with the other team. and the great downfall of his life, the thing that crushed him he most is when he was secretary of state for three travel years, negotiated the madrid peace talks and brought the coalition together nor gulf war and manage they would unfix indication of germany and then his friend, president george burk called him back to white house and needs baker to come back and resume that role of the fixers and this is just a crushing blow for baker. he couldn't stand the idea that suddenly he was worrying about bunting and balloons instead of the great issues of the day. and in fact through thank you fall also he was -- through the f

and henry kissinger says that's right. we will get anyway. so right before the election they were able to say look, we've finally gotten the north vietnamese to agree to withdraw from the trail. and the final thing was again, as trump is fighting afghanistan, a cease-fire, between the parties, north and south, and negotiations between them over future elections. nixon, kissinger, say quite plainly that the elections will never take place in vietnam. the cease-fire will breakdown. by that time, they will be gone. if the 1972 election will be in the rearview mirror so the american people can't hold them accountable. this tape was made the day before henry kissinger flew to paris to close the deal with north vietnam. he suspects and he's absolutely correct that the north was finally willing to accept nixon's demands. he has had the president of south vietnam, or an ally, briefed on those demands. the president of south vietnam in one day or two actually left when her heard them and said this will keep us going for awhile, but i'm going to have t

more thunder and endless thunder anything that flies on anything that moves said kissinger. relaying his orders and then no space break. now when i say that as a general rule every day of my life but then if there was any moral standing in the world and the country that was the source of the disruption. so americans individually have done good things sitcoms and cars and locomotives. sunglasses topiary dance steps, casseroles, and campaigns and two videos. it is a great american achievement of question. i was go back to the mid century. and operations thinks the plan to kill 5 million human beings in the space of weeks almost all civilians to offer to think about. >> thank you. what could be more beautiful? but to fully understand baseball if you get into the zone sounds of the baseball hitting them it there is so much conviction there. we had so many good conversations over the years and a lot of them is not simpleminded in the lease but it's very appreciative and grateful there's a lot of things in common and even to the point that was suggested event and poetry. and even

most significantly with nixon and kissinger and carter and turner. in both of those cases, the presidents made very clear that they wanted their national security advisers to their national intelligence advisers and to control the flow of intelligence into the white house, to be the principle analyst on the scene, to interpret the daily product that cia produced for the president and to be, in effect, his intelligence policymaker. stan turner had the same role under jimmy carter. he did a clever thing. he noticed that on the president's daily calendar was a provision for a morning meeting called the morning intelligence briefing. and, of course, turner, the dci said, "i'm doing that." and -- said we will see about that. what he did was change the entry on the daily calendar from morning intelligence briefing to morning security briefing. and, of course, the national security adviser would do that. so stan turner is shouldered out of the morning meeting and it becomes stansfield turner who brings the president's daily brief to the president and talks

standard -- we had kissinger, no one is saying anything about him. but now we have a new first lady, dr. biden, and she has worked hard and has warned her doctorate with a great deal of pride. it cannot go back to the way it was. conservatives and right-wingers would love to have women as wives, a compass and nothing. the modern women can accomplish anything she wants. it comes down to 2040. in 2040, according to the census, minorities will be the new majority. that includes women. white men will be the minority. i will say get over it, it is the way it is today. host: let's go to fred, calling from kentucky on the republican line. caller: good morning. -- women areler already the majority. --way, if somebody wants somebody who earns a doctorate wants to be called doctor, there's no problem. i notice people who earn a doctorate degree are very insistent of being called doctor . i see no problem with that. however, i am kind of disappointed in your topics lately. with thekind of soft important things going on, like this problem with the election, bill

doctor kissinger.am aware of, at least not publicly. this seems to be something that women in particular get. this criticism and doctor biden has used her title for quite some time right now so it is quite curious that she is becoming first lady and will step into a new role but now someone thinks that someone is trying to relegate her to the traditional duties of a first lady, whether thatis duties of a first lady, whether that is performing more of the tasks around the white house or being the public face of the administration. it is u nfortu nate administration. it is unfortunate he was unable to acknowledge that she is transforming that role and is serving as an educator, someone with a doctorate in education as well as serving as the public face of the biden administration. let's get more now on the passing of the acclaimed crime writerjohn le carre. let's speak to our news reporter mark lobel. from all the tribute it is fair to say he was a writers writer. talk me through the reaction of fellow a

dr kissinger.am aware of, at least not publicly. this seems to be something that women in particular get. this criticism — and dr biden has used her title for quite some time — right now so it is quite curious that she is becoming first lady and will step into a new role but now someone thinks that they should try to relegate her to the traditional duties of a first lady, whether that is performing more of the tasks around the white house or being the public face of the administration. it is unfortunate he was unable to acknowledge that she is transforming that role and is serving as an educator, someone with a doctorate in education as well as serving as the public face of the biden administration. more now on the news that the british spy thriller writerjohn le carre has died. he was 89. i've been speaking to author and security specialist edward lucas. i asked him what was so good about le carre's work. one feature was the psychological depth of the characters, that he really got inside the dile

and kissinger called it insolans and i wonder if there's pressure hope to part of awardees to accept or if there's pushback that can happen through activists or heads of state who did get nominated to say, hang on now, humbly i don't feel like this award is codifying what is actually happening yet. >> that's another -- this is really going, too. when he refused the prize, the committee didn't accept his refusal and never have. so, in nobel peace prize history, he is still a winner and a laureate of the prize but never checked it. so they don't accept refusals. you can say no thank you and of what you want but if they have decided you're the winner, you're the winner. isn't that funny? they don't even have the humility to -- or the humanity i guess to listen to what people are saying. so, they don't take that into consideration. >> my other question is just through history and especially in the post war period, the late -- the prize has been awarded to still heads of state often but occasionally activists, occasionally emerging activists and occasionally whole institutions, sometimes

kissinger -- >> what, did he deliver babies? dr. kissinger is an ob, really? i never knew that side of dr. kissinger. >> earlier this year, "the wall street journal" quoted a conversation the president-elect had with my father when biden was in the senate. quote, doctor, doctor, we should have you here more often. i appreciate you taking the time. we have two distinguished panelists who are going to reset and go vote again. doctor it's a pleasure to have you here. dr. brzezinski. >> dr. brzezinski, they have no problem with that. dr. kissinger, they have no problem with that. >> no. >> but dr. biden, let's see. >> a problem. >> how are they different? hold on. you keep going, mika. >> she cares about -- >> she's a woman, actually, okay. kiddo. >> so like "the wall street journal" and the president-elect, "the new york times" has always been comfortable using the hon rick like doctor, choked with emotion several times and the obit piece upon my father's passing did as well. dr. brzezinski was a captivating lecturer. >> tell me, did your father deliver you? >> n

he used his brilliant adviser henry kissinger.re on the same page and they created this system of alliances and they were willing to talk to our enemies and they were always in the world. they were always -- he never wanted to retreat, even though kissinger came from the tradition of isolationism, he understood that america had a role to play and walter is right, the old institutions need to be freshened up or changed. it's not like we can go back to that world that no longer exists but the idea that america had a central role in the world that's still true. >> hey, walter, it's willie. i'm interested in the idea that you put out which is guarding against too much establishment thinking as you look at the best and the brightest going into vietnam from the people you write about in the book. how do you view that right now for joe biden as he's putting his foreign policy team together. there is a -- there has to be a place i guess between old establishment thinking and whatever the team that donald trump has had in place for four ye

for me, this year changed my life because i met all the kissinger andnry i became much more interestedlitical, general economic societal problems. david: after you finished at harvard, you came back to germany or switzerland? aaus: i got a phone call from famous swiss industrialist and he told me, you have the harvard experience. i just merged two companies. groups.strial why don't you come and you are responsible for the merger? school becausegh i had to lay off people but , the job wasrs more or less finished. i asked myself, what to do now? and i got an offer from the university of geneva to do teaching. academicth all the experience i had accumulated, i should spend one or two years teaching. at the same time, i got an offer from the german building association. you have been at harvard. you have business experience. why don't you write a book for our members on modern management? so i sat down and asked myself, what is the purpose of a company? that is when i came up with the stakeholder concept, which means that a company is not just an economic unit but a social organism and it

and filling key advisory boards like the defense policy board, taking madeleine albright and henry kissingerate people on some of these boards? >> and the secretary of treasury taking steps to put a lot of money that could be used to help millions of suffering americans, put it off limits maybe to the next president. hoover tried this a little bit in 1933. he try toyed get fdr to sign on to some of his economic policies and roosevelt was a lot shrewder than hoover realized so he did not go for the bait, but once again, i promise i'll stop saying this after the 20th of january if it proves true as i expect, this is something else that we have never seen before. this is someone who is angry the joe biden, the guy who beat him, who is out of a feeling of pure vengeance and a feeling of a grudge, trying to make life as difficult as possible for our next president, and more than that, for the american people. if donald trump wants to claim in the future that he loves the american people, wants to see our best interests, everyone should remember what he's doing right now during these last weeks be

just days after the moroccan invasion, secretary of state henry kissinger privately told president gerald ford he hoped for a "rigged u.n. vote" at the security council to confirm morocco's claim over western sahara. about half of the sahrawi population fled the invasion to neighboring algeria, where they settled in refugee camps in the middle of the desert. the moroccan invasion set off a 16-year-long war with the sahrawi liberation movement known as the polisario front. morocco's army, with the help of u.s. military aid, drove the polisario to western sahara's easterdesert. morocco then created the world's longest minefield and built the seco-longest wall on earth, with the help of u.s. weapons companies northrop and westinghouse. the nearly 1700-mile wall divides sahrawis who remain under occupation from those who fled into exile. the moroccan government began decades of torture, disappearances, killings and repression against pro-independence sahrawis living in the occupied territory. in991, the u. sponsored a ceasefire and promised sahrawis a referendum on self-determination, organiz

and, briefly, remember henry kissinger, if you want to call biden, who to call? guess. we remember biden's old boss was close to angela merkel and biden may restart that relationship will stop paris is also crucial and london may well not be the first call anymore. let's get some of the day's other news. one person is reported to have been shot after a gunman opened fire outside the st john the divine cathedral in harlem on the upper west side of manhattan in new york. law enforcement sources said the gunman, who was apprehended at the scene, had died. anti—government protesters have marched through the polish capital, warsaw, on the 39th anniversary of the communist authorities declaring martial law. around a thousand demonstrators avoided several police cordons but were eventually blocked from reaching the home of the country's most powerful politician, the right—wing nationalist, jaroslaw kazcynski. the afghan defence ministry says more than 60 taliban fighters have been killed in fierce fighting with security forces in kandahar province. it's also reported fr

in kissinger famously called it insolence. i'm curious to know that if there pressure on the part of the awardees to accept or if there is pushback that can happen through activists were heads of state that didn't get nominated. not now. i don't think that it is codified what is actually happenin refused the price the committee did not accept his refusal. and never had. lawyer. you are winner. they have the humility where the humany i guess to listen to what are people saying. they don't take that into considation. the other question is. with the posar. and the prizes have been awarded to stillave the state. occasionally activists and emerging activists. and occasionally petitions sometimes large national groups. i wonder if there is a direction that we can take insofar as it seems to be related to the sense of the movement of global peace in the world to have and a new avenue to focus prize away fr heads of state. what one hopes that have a date with global future will do. with the group indivuals. it seems like they have don

but like any deal, henry kissinger said this, it's not a deal unless both people walk away from the tableorrow, we will have to wait and see. that's the artifice i suppose, isn't it? both sides, both have to think they've won but they have to, it the —— convince the people around them that they've won, the voters, obviously, but more immediately their fellow politicians coming borisjohnson‘s immediately their fellow politicians coming boris johnson's case, immediately their fellow politicians coming borisjohnson‘s case, he has to convince conservative mps who have to vote for it if there's a deal. yes, boris johnson will have to convince conservative mps, and if we have a deal it will go through parliament very quickly, in a matter of days. i think boris johnson parliament very quickly, in a matter of days. i think borisjohnson may be brought down by the euro sceptics of his party come i think that's a bit oversold. i think that the prime minister has lots of new mps who are elected a year ago. he just wants to, sorry to use the phrase, but get brexit done. so whatever youth he comes back

henry kissinger, the reverend dr. martin luther king, have gone by the title doctor, even though they're not medical doctors, and nobody seems to have made a fuss about that. >> that's exactly right, chris. it's a bit perplexing to me and i'm sure to millions of americans that with thousands of people dying every day of co-i have, millions out of work, that anyone would wake up in the morning and decide the focus they need to have, the way they contribute to society that day is to question whether or not dr. jill biden, someone who is still teaching, who has a phd in education, should be called a doctor or not. of course, she should. as anyone who works through that challenging process of getting a phd. it's a really silly, sexist and absurd conversation that's happening in society and i thini appreciate you asking me about it. chris: jen, thank you. thanks for your time. please come back and merry christmas. >> merry christmas to you. chris: up next, relief for millions. >> happy holidays. chris: thank you. up next,

reasons, quite frankly, we had almost willfully blinded ourselves and part of that was because henry kissinger a deal in which he basically said if you will give us access to your posts on the soviet union, we look the other way, we will not pay any attention to your political comments and we typically rely on all of our intelligence. i get into all of this in the book and that whole relationship between stan turner and jimmy carter and all of that to me is fascinating. one of the caveats about all of this, i suppose, one of the great sources i spoke with, stu, a brilliant guy. some of you may know him, he's still very active and really persuasive voice on foreign affairs. he was saying our intelligence was terrible during this whole. we often just completely misunderstand other societies in this was a classic example. certainly vietnam before iran was a classic example of just understanding society. at the end of the day you have to wonder had no the shop was on the verge of collapse, what would policy makers have done with that knowledge? what exactly could we have done to have changed that

and sympathize with henry kissinger who had the unenviable job of babysitting a drunk. this book has spanned for centuries in this book. it starts with the pilgrims. we'll get to that. it goes to the american revolution, the jfk assassination, you know, i just took a bunch of events in which alcohol seemed to have, or did have a huge effect on what happened, and went through them starting in 16 20. so it really all begins with the pilgrims. and i'm going to start with them as rhonda dead. and i'm hoping that i can find a way to read, and have you hear me at the same time. and i'll probably go for about i think it's 18 minutes sarah. my daughter is in the back. she timed me earlier. then i hope you ask me questions, because i love to answer questions. i'm sure you all know, when henry thoreau moved to the pond in 1845, the last thing that he had in mind was writing a book about it. he really didn't have anywhere else to live. he moved with emerson's do a favor to emerson because emerson went to europe and the household needed a head. he went back to europe to find that t

either in academia or the business world or who are defense experts like in security experts, henry kissingerht. so he is purge all of the experts. it's an obscene jess closure to the biden supporters and to at least the majority of the american people saying, i'm going to get rid of all the expletives. don't put my people in. we don't know much of world affairs and defense affairs, this is just a salute to you in a way that's inappropriate. >> and as you saw in the washington post today, the newspaper reached out to every republican member of the house and senate this week and get this only 27 of them acknowledged that joe biden actually won the election. when you were in congress, when you were in the house, many years ago, you were one of the first republicans to break with your own party and calm forsfrom nixon's impeachment. so what is your reaction to this republican silence that we are seeing now exactly four weeks to the day since every major news organization in the united states, including fox news, projected that joe biden would be the next president of the united states? >> wolf,

kissinger and dr. martin luther king. you can follow scott mcgrew.here is his information there on your screen. >>> we are one week away from christmas. that means families will gather for the holidays and cases are skyrocketing creating devastating consequences. "today in the bay's" pete suratos is live in walnut creek this morning. pete, millions are still taking that risk by flying or driving to see their families. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, cierra. the latest numbers we're getting from aaa they're expecting upwards of 80 million people to take part in christmas holiday travel. of course this is all happening as the majority of california is under this stay-at-home order as we see surges during this pandemic. they have already put in a ten-day quarantine which is actually in effect as we speak. this will apply to people who live or work in san francisco that decide to travel outside of the bay area. now there are exceptions for first responders and some essential workers. the point of this order is to urge folks to avoid nonessential

this was a war -- what happened in cambodia was an outflow of vietnam, where kissinger and nixon illegallybodia. it is something you would never imagine where a neutral country gets splintered from it and goes into a civil war and revolution. for myself and my father, we can only speak of the mixed feelings where he did not know that the u.s. was bombing. he only knew of pol pot and the regime. he wouldn't know this history until he came to the u.s. for him, he felt the life-saving efforts that people made on these refugee camps, he knew they were directly from the international community and westerners. he has always felt admiration for the u.s. and what they did. i think it's a very complicated area. for me, i want to continue the story because it is an important story to tell. like what are we doing overseas? the type of wars and places we are getting involved in. how often do we do that and to what limit? not only do we count the cost, but we have to know the stories of the people's lives that change from this. permission kind of to you need from the cambodian antigovernment's to do yo

kis kissinger, u mentioned dr. phil, dr.so paul gigot defended this by saying that my guess is the biden team concluded it was a chance to use the big gun of identity politics to send a message to critics and accuse the biden side of playing the gender or race card. i think some people in the media were upset about this even be before the campaign pushback. >> yeah, this is just ridiculous. dr. gorka, do we talk about him? no. he wants to be called dr. gorka fine. there's a difference between the rules that new york times refers to people, if people want to refer to doctor and they have a doctorate, it should be okay. the wall street journal got a lot of attention for this and most of it was negative. howie: got to go. dr. timpf and dr. liaason -- >> that's pr professor to you. howie: will the media miss donald trump or what about critics who say we should just stop covering him? liz claman is coming back. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness...much better. m
