our distinguished speaker was to to doctor kissinger as doctor kissinger was to -- he joined the staff and 1960. nine a special assistant working on the world and basically every diplomatic initiative in the administration the midst of the vietnam war in the greater cold war. he was with doctor kissinger during the grinding talks of the negotiators and paris that culminated in the paris peace accords of 1973. he was with president nixon in moscow during his first presidential trip there in may of 1972. he was there for kissinger shuttles between the arabs and israelis after the 1973 young the poor war. he was a key actor in the historic trip to china in 1972. known popularly as the week that changed the world. the ambassador held such a post as director of policy planning. president of foreign relations and ambassador to the people's republic of china and secretary of state for southeast asian and pacific affairs. from to the 7:15 to 2016 he conducted several hours of oral histories for kissinger on behalf of the nixon foundation. it covered a variety of subject matter. russia, china,

nixon and kissinger have released a joint statement since watergate.ey 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 really condemn a false piece. so the national view was not the only person criticizing that treaty. the new right took out a full page ad across the country, and this is got to be my favorite source right, like this is my favorite source in the entire book. because it has a picture of neville chamberlain, and ronald reagan, and adolf hitler, and a picture of mikael gorbachev. and it says, appeasement is as unwise in 1988, as was 1938. if it conservative calls you neville chamberlain, that's as low as it gets. that is the biggest insult you could possibly be given is that you are neville chamberlain.

and kissinger had released a joint statement since watergate. they thought it was that important they come out together and criticize president reagan for his naive foreign policy. nixon and kissinger insisted that any western leader who indull knowledges -- indulges the soviet's fantasies of a nuclear free world courts unimaginable perils. and in their piece they concluded that while the president probably wanted to be remembered as a peacemaker reagan needed to remember however he may be held in today's headlines the judgment of history would severely, severely condemn a false piece. severely condemn a false piece. national review wasn't the only organization that was criticizing the inf treaty. the new right took out under the howie phillips, the president of the conservative caucus, they took out a full page ad in conservative newspapers across the country. and this has got to be my favorite source. this is my favorite source in the entire book because it's got a picture if you take a look at it of neville chamberlain, ronald reagan, adolph

kissinger has also said acutely that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policys an optional activity. on the other hand, the belief that american principles should be universal, the belief that justice would be served if all nations emulated our nation, this belief sometimes begets another belief. that u.s. foreign policy should have a missionary purpose of spreading our universal truth s. winston churchill knew better. and remember, this is a man who loved our country. winston churchill understood that this custody of history, the vast inertia of nations and national cultures, he was adverse to unrealistic national ambitions abroad. the united states has paid a steep price for not sharing his realism about this. in march 2003, three weeks before the u.s. invasion of iraq, president george w. bush said "human cultures can be vastly different if the human heart desires the same good things everywhere on earth. ." i think churchill would have said that was wishful thinking. exactly the sort of thinking churchill deplored. it is refuted by virtually every bloodsoak

which was detente and kissinger. >> yes it was a foreign policy based campaign, for the bulk of the campaign and it resonated not only with republican voters, but it resonated a lot with democratic voters too in those days. >> conservative democrats. >> yes who in those days were union members, maybe socially or economically liberal, but on foreign policy and being tough on the russians, they were on the republican side more than the democratic side. so we felt like we had a ready made coalition if we could get the nomination, but from north carolina on, he wins the vast majority of the primaries. and he wins a lot of delegates, the only reason we wind up losing in the end is that we outran our supply lines. we had a very small staff, and we literally could not put up delegate candidates in some key states, so the last day. >> like ohio in new jersey. >> yes the last day of the primary campaign, reagan won california overwhelmingly in those days. >> 67%. >> and in those days it was winner take all, but we only filed like nine out of 88 delegates in ohio, and similar in new jersey. so by the

henry kissinger was probably just flirting with her, and she had a name.rances fitzgerald, people knew where she came from, so there was that kind of vision too, the attraction, and the first days she comes back to the united states reluctantly knowing she had to leave the war, because it had gotten to be too much and the first thing she does is go to the most famous party of the 20th century, truman capote's black and white ball, and the first person she sees is the defense secretary. robert mcnamara. her life is gatsbyesque. host: is it still a worthwhile read? ms. becker: yes, there is so much archival work that has been done that it is dated and frankie herself said she would not write the same but but it is classic, and you would read it and say in 1972 this was an extraordinary book. i asked that same question to the expert at harvard now who is considered a pulitzer prize-winning historian of vietnam, he said absolutely it is on that short shelf. a classic. host: this is a story of four female reporters because it is your story as well. we have a ph

henry kissinger, daniel ellsberg of the pentagon papers. wasn't unusual that she had interactions with these people? ms. becker: daniel ellsburg, no, because he was stationed there. she said he was the only one who would take her seriously. one of her great childhood friends was in the embassy and they were friends but he would not take her seriously as a reporter. but ellsberg did and knew all of the reporters. henry kissinger was probably just flirting with her, and she had a name. frances fitzgerald, people knew where she came from, so there was that kind of frisian -- frission too, the attraction, and the first days she comes back to the united states reluctantly knowing she had to leave the war, because it had gotten to be too much and the first thing she does is go to the most famous party of the 20th century, truman capote's black and white ball, and the first person she sees is the defense secretary. her life is gatsbyesque. host: if one were to pick up the book today, is it still a worthwhile read? ms. becker: yes, there is so much

united states area they view this at least a lot of them as one of the great comments was henry kissinger's comment when you say have you talked to europe and he says how i call it europe so europe is a lot of different things. we have to announce that a very large majority i think of elites and people, a tripartite, basically the united states, china they don't see us with them against china. they justdon't view it that way and it's a fundamental flaw . i suggest to people as you watch what happens with this administration , look for what i call kind of red flags. getting rid of the tariffs on china. giving exclusions, taking care of corporations. making concessions to the wto. these are things that we have to keep our eye on. we will see their oldest goes. but it's important to work with our allies. we tried to do it and i would say there are certain allies. >> along the lines as bob mentioned this administration. with a gun. they reentered the who you are going back the paris lemon tree. they canceled the keystone xl pipeline. china is laughing all the way to the bank if this happens. wh

while she disagrees with henry kissinger on everything from politics to the no-brainer debate of red sox versus yankees, here it says that samantha -- class don't ruin the nominees opportunity . >> henry kissinger has said that samantha has an excellent analytical mind and even on matters where i might become two different conclusions i respected her analysis. perhaps the highest praise ever given by a yankees fan to a member of red sox nation. as an immigrant from ireland ambassador powers personal background gives her a unique and deep respect for this country and all it stands for. spending time between dublin and boston she received her bachelor's degree at yale university and went on to obtain her law degree at harvard university . he served several key positions in the obama administration including assistant to the president's financial security council senior director for human rights and notably as the youngest ever united states ambassador to the united nations. prior to entering government service he began her career as a war correspondent reporting from the seas of saraje

. >> i'm with henry kissinger on this one, fareed. he said over a year ago, we're in the foothills of a cold war. we're continuing to ascend that mountain. not in a full blown cold war. we're old enough to remember what the cold war was like. it was millions of troops facing each other, two vast battle fleets playing hunt for red oct around the world but we're edging in a bad direction. i agree with richard on the tactics, it doesn't feel good right now. here is the bottom line, what we need and has been lacking is a plan, a strategic plan for facing china. and this means kind of taking a page from richard's comment a moment ago, it means confronting where we must. we're not going to seed the south china sea to china. it means confronting on human rights. look at the cover of the economist this week, but it also means cooperating wherever we can. i think climate is a terrific place to think about it. bottom line, we need a plan, we need to get our allies in the game. and we need to get final -- we need to get the u.s. inner agency kin

yes you're absolutely right it is painfully under way and before january 6th and i look at what kissinger had to say and i think that that's probably spot on from a lot of middle of the road conservatives conservatives in the republican party which used to stand for lower taxes less regulation and a lot more free enterprise when sure we want conservative judges i mean that was their montreal and acts the way it was up until the time of donald trump and he has in my opinion radicalized the republican party and he's created a fissure and i thought that at the last impeachment after january 6th that they would vote to convict simply because that would allow them to rid donald trump from running again and that would open it up for 2024 for the rubio's on the cottons and the scots and the nikki haley's evidently that didn't happen and so he has i think increased his firm grip on that and i think it is a divided party where does it go from here i think that's almost a who knows i think that happens over the next year or 2 we'll see what happens in 2022 but when you see basically mainstream cons

but once you got into a broader panoply of issues, jerry ford had been captured by henry kissinger in detente, and that created a big opening for reagan. but i guess the point i would 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. >> it was almost -- >> like, in the nashua debate. the carter debate. >> it was always him. i like to think he had a brilliant staff. >> because you were on that staff. >> because i was on the staff,

his campaign a necessity to be friendly to russia and one of the great advantages of that as henry kissinger told him was the would delay the day at least of a great to solve some solidity of relations between russia and china and of course everything that has now how. over the last few years and even more so with biden is going to push russia and china closer and closer together you know there's nothing more making ready the conventional u.s. hypocrisy on the foreign relations and here we had biden. courting putin a killer and this is from the administration economy and bring it to accuse prince of saudi arabia of. being with respect to the show even though its own intelligence service is a being saying that that is the case and how to bring us up to investigate already the the the suspicions of saudi involvement in the primordial events of of 2000 and. 11 so hypocrisy and then just a few days away from when biden gave you order to kill. this is the man who caused putin but this is a man who gave the order to to destroy facilities on the eastern syrian border. and he showed up to we think s

kissinger about something which they have independently and together said the exact opposite.nd there's nothing a filmmaker has to do. you want to put your thumb on the scale? you could, but you don't have to, you can just present it. these things are really, really important. really important. i have in my office leg shackles. you know? they weigh unbelievably -- they're incredibly heavy. and you go, this speaks more than volumes of books about -- this is an instrument forged by human intelligence that has only one purpose, which is to enslave other americans. and, you know, lonnie's got all of that. and it's just the accumulated weight of that has a kind of power to transform and rearrange our molecules in a really positive way. so these artifacts are central to how we're going to not just fix history, that's impossible, but continue to interpret and let it guide us. we sort of think the past is unknown and that history is fixed. it's the opposite. you know, our future is known. our past is at malleable as anything. our future, at least the immediate future, is rather predic

about people and even though after the period that our film covers both president nixon and henry kissingerould books that put their views in a different light. the tapes that the mueller center has and have listened to and it's really important to know that all of the tapes haven't been listened to our catalog or interpreted by scholars, so this is a vast ocean of potential stories and research and further complication of the american narrative, and i think that applies to lyndon johnson as well. there is just the luminous amounts. we didn't have to say anything, we could just put the tape, the president to go on and say this in public and then that afternoon said this on the tape and, you know, it is used wonderful to have. that we live in an age of so much information then matter how many times somebody says something, we've lost our sort of ability to be outraged, which i hope we came back shortly because, things can be said so many times. but there's something about having a tape where you hear the president of the united states talking to doctor kissinger about something that they hav

standard by which you single out somebody and the other but it reminds me that we are missing what hemi kissingeryears ago and he told us we don't want china a better friend to russia then each one to us because we actually do have some common interest with putin. we are wary of islamic terrorism and we do not want china to run the world. we along with the russia and india can check china if we do not throw away the card, talker. at the comes out of the russian pollution hoax but even earlier they came into power, biden and obama and they said bush was too hard on china. we are going to resent and putin as the autocrat he has, he interpreted the magnanimity as a weakness to be exploited. obama was trading necessary missile defense of that biden would behave during the real reelection. they are humiliated after 22 months and they didn't find any russia collusion hoax. it's an obsession and a religion. >> tucker: russia's part of the country in the world that doesn't buy the woke program. i have to ask you about taxes. we decided that we can fund the $2 trillion relief build despite renting the mon

while she disagrees with henry kissinger on everything from politics to the no-brainer debate of red sox versus yankees, he has said that samantha, quote -- >> don't ruin the nominee's opportunity here, senator markey. [laughing] >> ambassador henry kissinger has said that samantha has an excellent analytical mind, and even on matters where i might have come to different conclusions, i respected her analysis. perhaps the highest praise ever given by a yankees fan to a member of red sox nation. as an immigrant from ireland, ambassador power's personal background give her a unique and deep respect for this country and all it stands for. spending time between pittsburgh, atlanta, dublin and boston she received her bachelors degree at yale university and went on to obtain her law degree at harvard university. she served in several key positions in the obama administration including as a special assistant to the president president of the national security council senior director for multilateral affairs and human rights, and notably as the youngest ever united states ambassador to the un

it reminds me, we are missing what henry kissinger told us 40 years ago, realpolitik, we don't want chinater friend to russia than they are to us, we actually do have some common interest with vladimir putin. we are both wary of islamic terrorism and we don't want china to run the world and we along with the russians and india can check china if we don't throw away that card. this anger comes out of the russia collusion hoax but even earlier, they came b into power and they said bush was too hard on china, we are going to be set and gluten, the autocrat he is, he interpreted that as weakness to be exploited and he finally got to the surreal situation where obama was trading necessary missile-defense so that biden would behave during his reelection which he didn't even do although he gave up missile-defense. i think they are humiliated especially after 22 months and $40 million, they didn't find any russian collusion, it was ac hoax. it's an obsession now, it'sx a religion. >> tucker: russia is also a country in the world who doesn't buy our woke program. i have to ask you about taxes, we

when your fellow state resident henry kissinger flew across the pacific with china on the basis obviously they can deal and they did not invade china and china being in the passing lane which is where they are now value of the current administration basically trying to form alliances with european south korea and etc. in japan. to try to use every plan playbook. including according to one of the leading gone officials including mark. in other words, is underestimation of masons is not something that is for culinary and 16th century predict that is my long-winded response. two very intelligent civil questions will pause predict. >> will marion, do you want, you have a whole list of questions that you've prepared. marian: i did but i'm worried that can hear me can you be okay now. >> i can. marian: okay good, i did seo and then interview on youtube. and you talked about the year 1619 by the new york times. and you just reiterated how they had been you need too much for their people had run off an area where we call south carolina 1520 those africans have run off of the indigenous population

if, indeed, lisa murkowski withstands the primary challenge on adam kissinger or others -- you'll seeer republicans say maybe trump isn't the path forward. that's where the republican party voters are going to have their say within the party. >> and don -- >> finish your thought. >> no, i was just going to say either mcconnell wins and all he cares about is control of the senate or trump wins, and all he cares about is getting rid of these people, and he cares about the fact that he can tell the american public he didn't lose and is still a winner and is still powerful enough to get rid of the people who dared cross him. so mcconnell has a different goal here which is the republican party and trying to save it. >> yeah. gloria, i want to ask you about the new york governor, andrew cuomo. the new york attorney general said she can start an investigation on the allegations of sexual harassment. it's looking serious for the governor. >> these are serious charges. the attorney general is going to get a law firm to look into this, and she will oversee this, and this is precarious for any p

henry kissinger in shanghai, piecing together the shanghai communique.was the communique written yesterday in anchorage? kevin: game on, essentially. i appreciate that comment, tom. look, as we move forward here, there is a clear resetting by the biden adminstration in tone, but not in policy, from the previous administration. either way you look at this, from the body language in the room or the tone from the secretary of state, but from the policy standpoint, not much has changed. in terms of what the objectives are from the previous administration to the current one. tom: we are constrained on time. every expert writing on it. yes, there is hong kong and the new realities there. what are the new realities across the formosa strait? kevin: i think you get to a point where the broader relationship is incredibly strained, and it is in need of repair. jonathan: we talked yesterday about how impulsive foreign policy would be with this administration, or whether we would return to that story of orchestrating these things before they even happen. diplomats g

. >> greg: i think it was henry kissinger who once had that power is an aphrodisiac.ause it gets them in the mood to take control of your life, so what you have now is you have gavin newsom panicking, and he thinks the only way he can save his skin is by throwing phrases around like equity, which is a modern woke areas for socialism or forced equality from the top down, it never ends well. meanwhile, you've got fauci vacillating between armchair quarterbacking. every week he is just getting smaller and smaller. at this point i think he could fit in joe biden's pocket. >> katie: good point. it's not just democratic governors like gavin newsom, there's a new poll that came out that show the majority of democrats actually think restaurants, bars and schools should still be closed. >> martha: what i find interesting, dr. fauci was answering the questions, we are going to out what vaccinated people can do in the home setting and then we can figure out if they can travel, if they can go out and get a haircut. i'm thinking, most people are actually doing all those things and

opening, nixon and kissinger meetings that began the relationship.here was essentially a semi alliance as it related to the soviet union. and there was always a notion that as china opened up and developed, that it would become part of the system in which its rise dramatically benefited itself. i do not always see eye to eye -- he wrote a great book i'm reading right now. the former world bank president and the u.s. trade rep and the deputies set -- deputy secretary of state. look at the speech he gave on the responsible stakeholder. it was really kind of sang, all right, china. you have risen. the system we put together is something that has benefited you. you need to own it more, be a responsible actor. abide by the rules you have agreed to. i went to china in number of times after that speech. very interesting, because it was clearly a case that the chinese were consummating this offer. i some meetings where the president and everybody down the line -- they are very disciplined. they talked about response will stakeholder ring. the importance of i
