weapons of mass destruction, proliferation, middle east, north korea, there are other issues where wean work much better when we work jointly. >> that's pretty much it. >> it has been invented by those who are in the opposition. people who oppose president trump to delegitimize this time in office. it really seems strange to me because they don't understand, the things they don't understa understand, they undermined their own nation, they limit the powers of the president who has been elected. they don't have respect for those people, those americans that elected donald trump taken election campaign in the road, should we stop, should we ban any context? ambassador was accused of meeting someone that happens everywhere. best general practice when diplomats and members of government meet with every candidate, they discuss issues and development when they're trying to figure out what those people will do, one and if they come to power. was so strange about it, why do you think there is this by hysteria? russia meddling hysteria? so look at social media, the ads that russian companies pu

it comes to the ballistic missile program, all of it is about the broader weapons of mass destruction proliferation program by north korea. ballistic missles also, what they are trying to target is the delivery mechanism. >> is this a big deal, this set of sanctions? >> i think listen, my guess is these were targets. having been on the inside, my guess is these are targets that were ready for sanctions. it's not a big deal. it won't move the needle. it exposes two additional figures but at the end of the day it's about a steady drumbeat. >> constant new sanctions, something else happening. the important part is it sort of supports the sanctions coming out of the united states which are really one of the u.s. successes at the u.n. to get security council sanctions that include china and russia against north korea. >> right. >> there is sort of a steadiness to what nikki haley is achieving at the u.n. >> completely. i was going to add that today's action, you're not going to see a lot of effect out of that but it follows on a very successful resolution on friday which feels like forever ago but it wa

weapons of mass destruction proliferation. middle east. north korea. other issues.here are other issues where we can work much better when we work jointly. that's pretty much it. >> how would you explain the connection between your government and the trump administration? how would you explain it to america? pres. putin: that has been invented by those who are in the opposition. people who oppose president trump to delegitimize his time in office. it really seems strange to me because they don't understand -- it seems that they don't understand. they undermined their own nation. they limit the powers of the president who has been elected. it means they don't have respect for those people, those americans who elected donald trump. take any election campaign in the world. should we stop, should we ban any contacts? our ambassador was accused of meeting someone, but that happens everywhere. that is general practice, when diplomats and even members of government meet with every candidate with their campaign to discuss some issues, they discuss prospects of development,

weapons of mass destruction proliferation in the middle east and north korea and other issues, thereother issues where we can work much better when we work jointly. host: the russian president in moscow yesterday. william browder, what can you gleam from his answer? guest: what putin does is go out and do a lot of terrible things, invades foreign countries and gets involved in crazy that he dopes the olympics and then says we should work together. of course, we should all be working together with lots of countries. you have a country with a economy the size of italy starving its own people and using its resources to cause trouble in the rest of the world and he's saying we should work together. he has a responsibility to stop doing the bad stuff he does. ashave a responsibility strong democracies in free countries to stop him from doing the nasty stuff he's doing. all this talk about working together only works if he works with us on the terms of civilized western countries, noncriminal countries. the burdens on him stop doing the bad stuff he's doing. host: an extensive piece writte

out the door added gene editing to a list of threats posed by weapons of mass destruction employer or if aeration proliferation so what you're saying is this this is not worth the end result of getting rid of some mosquitoes before our troops when doing this thing could end up throwing a whole ecological system out of whack because we're not at a scientific level yet we can try i mean yes we're doing some amazing things with like crisper and things like that of juneau the thing and all that but we're not at a level yet of like oh hey we're going to make one mosquito be able to grow wings were they don't have wings but we're not taking into account the fact that we're also talking about if those get out of that area then you're to look changing the entire species because that is something it's the mosquitoes and that thing that it's the mosquitoes then won't have them skeeters seeming to die and when you work your way backwards in an ecosystem you're going to find that the entire system gets out of whack and you start i don't really trust them doing genetics placing people because you know that's where the gove

. >> we are a critical point in terms of the 50 year effort to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destructionto stop north korea, they are very close to the ability to hit targets in the united states with thermonuclear weapons, that effort will have crashed into complete failure, won't just be north korea but they will sillies with the buddy with hard currency to iran if they are not already doing work together on the nuclear side, terrorist groups, come up with money, other nuclear weapons states and then you see this proliferation worldwide, it will be a much more dangerous world. trump inherited this, didn't create the situation, it will be on his watch the we either stop it in north korea or face a real expansion of nuclear and biological and chemical weapons as well all around the world. >> secretary of state rex tillerson said north korea must earn its way to the negotiation table started with halt on missile and nuclear test. jillian: donald trump weighing on the world stage keeping a key campaign promise to obliterate isis. >> we will find you, we will destroy you and we will win. >>

korea is part of it but i think the threat as a whole, strategic threat is the proliferation of weapons of mass destructionoadly including chemical and biological weapons. that's why i think president trump's strike against the assad regime in syria for the use of chemical weapons was a very, very important aspect of this and i frankly don't think you can divorce north korea from iran, cooperation between iran and north korea historically on ballistic missiles and almost certainly on the nuclear side puts them together and it's part of a bigger strategic picture and that is if north korea or iran or both get a deliverable nuclear weapon's capability, i'm afraid that decades of counterproliferation efforts led by the united states will fail. i think this will be a massive failure of american national security policy and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. this is determining whether the 21st century, i think, would be a world where many more countries, dozen more countries get nuclear and chemical biological weapons here and whether we can draw the line. >> as you're bringing that up we had report

think we are at a critical point in terms of the 50 year effort to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destructionf we fail to stop north korea, and they are very close to the ability to hit targets in the united states with thermonuclear weapons, then i think that effort will have crashed into complete failure, because it will just be north korea. they will sell these capabilities to anyone with hard currency, to iran, if they are not already doing work together on the nuclear side, thehe terrorist groups, if they can come up with the money, to other nuclear weapon states. then you're going to see this proliferation worldwide. it will be a much more dangeroun world. trump inherited this. he didn't create the situation. but it will be on his watch that we either stop or do north korea are we face a real expansion of nuclear -- and actually biological and chemical weapons, as well, all around the world. >> david: dr. bill parker, coo at the eastwest institute. a great new book, "guaranteeing america's security and the 21st century." and ambassador bolton, you have been working hard to guarantee our

authorizations would not benefit an iranian person that is transporting items for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction nor providing transportation to sanctioned entities. treasury would have to certify to us that these authorizations don't pose a significant money laundering or terrorism finance risk to the u.s. financial system. if the treasury department cannot make this certification, the department must tell us why and must explain to congress the course of action it intends to take. i urge all of my colleagues to support this rule and urge them to support h.r. 1638 and h.r. 4324. i yield my time and merry christmas. . mr. hastings: i will advise my friend from colorado that i'm prepared to close if he is. mr. buck: yes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hastings: with just a few legislation days left the republican majority is focusing on the wrong things. plain and simple, the bills before us today are more evidence of that. over the next couple of weeks we face a terrifiesingly long come will the out affect every single american. let me be clear. my friend from maine an

the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, constitute a real and serious threat to international peace and security. these weapons must not be used by anyone and not under any circumstances. uruguay insists on recalling that when it comes to disarmament and nonproliferation, it is the duty of all states to strictly respect their commitments in accordance with international npt and the the provisions of the united nations charter. hasrous occasions, uruguay expressed its condemnation of nuclear test and the launching of illicit missiles carried out by north korea -- holistic missiles varied up by north korea. we will continue to do this if the country threatens with its behavior and continues to violate resolutions of the security council. uruguay once again calls upon north korea to abandon its in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner, ceasing all related activities, including the launching of ballistic missiles with a listing technology. -- with ballistic technology. we urge them to return to the safeguards. the sanctions impo

authorizations would not benefit an iranian person that is transporting items for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. treasury would also have to certify to us that those authorizations don't pose a money laundering or risk to the financial system or that are any banks engaging in this business have appropriate due diligence procedures in place. if the treasury department cannot make this certification, the department must tell us why and explain to congress the course of action it intends to take. i note my bill was reported out of the financial services committee by a vote of 38-21 with five of my democratic colleagues voting in its favor. many of my colleagues on the other side of this aisle will label this is a simple to dismantle iran's nuclear deal. but this debate is not about u.s. commitments under the joint comprehensive plan of action or jcpoa and not about re-imposing nuclear sanctions or prohibiting aircraft sales. what this legislation is about is providing congress with information on the implications of these deals so we can understand their impact on the integrity of our financial sy
