bridget brown, spencer hudson, tiny, michael lyon, teresa palmer, and anybody else would like to speak, feel free to line up. anyone can come up and be the first speaker. thank you. >> hi, my name is bridget brown, i work for independent living resource centre here in san francisco, and i consider myself a mental health advocate, also, i consider myself a client with a mental health background. i would like to say that i could have been melanie, that could have been me. i was at a club one night and somebody put oxycontin in my drink and i ended up in the hospital. it turned out i had oxycontin in my system, and i was one of those revolving door people that they have been talking about throughout this whole s.b. 1045 issue, and i had to go to court, they wanted to conserve me, and luckily, with the blessings that i have on me, i didn't end up in a locked facility. i just want to let you know, that could have been me. it could affect people with things beyond their control and things happen to them, okay? that is all i wanted to say. thank you. >> michael lyon, public health justice col

michael pillsbury, director of the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute. sor to the trump administration. michael, great to have you here. first, the implications, if we may, of chinese dominance and control of undersea cables. >> well, so much information close to those cables, 90%, far more than satellites. it allows chinese espionage and eavesdropping, just the chance of a lifetime. i think this is all part of the long-term technology war that's going on. i don't think this divest cure, if you want to call it that, the sale by huawei, is going to work. the company they want to sell it to, lou, as you know, is affiliated with the chinese navy. it's just a shift from the chinese army to chinese navy. it does show how important dominating these fiber optic cables is to chinese espionage. lou: it also shows just how raw the chinese have become in expressing their contempt for the intelligence and the powerlessness of western nations who would oppose their tom nance whether it -- dominance whether it be in satellite or undersea cables, whether it would be in

. >> so my name is michael preachent, senior fellow at the hudson institute. i would like to welcome our c-span audience. today we have a panel called "stuck in the middle: iraq caught between the united states and iran." these growing tensions are leading to discussion as to whether or not iraq could possibly be the battlefield for these two powers in the region. well, iran being a power in the united states, being in the region. that this is likely to take place in iraq, we may have some disagreements there. but today we're going to discuss it. and we're going to do this like a sunday morning show format. i'm going to provide a -- i'm going to leave it to our panelists to break it down. we have a great panel today, starting first with the islamic communities and the west. the recent author of a book on shia/sunni relations, sectarianism. dr. abbas, director and resident senior fellow, the iraq initiative from the atlantic council, also the author of "reclaiming iraq." and he and i have talked about -- grown to know each other since the 2014 isis campaign, wh

manufacturing policy director peter navarro ahead of the summit, michael pillsbury, senior fellow and director for chinese strategy of the hudsonute. great to have you on the program. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you, maria. maria: you may have heard tim ryan railing against president trump -- >> i did. maria: in terms of what he did with huawei. first can you go through what the strategy is with china at this point? what just took place in osaka? >> sure, the most important thing was to get president xi to return his delegation to the talks. there was a major breakdown six weeks ago. the talks really faced extinction at that point. they were taking back a lot of major points and refusing to go further on the enforcement mechanism so it was a pretty bleak situation. i think what had to happen is president xi's team made clear in their media that he needs something on huawei at this meeting. he also needed to have the tariffs at least not imposed at this meeting. otherwise he would be saying no to any further talks. that's what president trump did. it is a brilliant stroke. the president deserves a lot of credit.

joining us hudson institute senior fellow, author of, the 100 year marathon, michael pillsbury.ichael, you were saying for a long time, that wall street was getting over its skis, anticipating a deal. it was far too early. you were 100% correct. >> thank you. charles: i think wall street is adjusting to a deal may not happen or happen overnight? >> i wouldn't be overly pessimistic. it is quite possible the two presidents will have a very serious talk in private and then come out and say something like, we have instructed our negotiators to get back together again based on our consensus that we've achieved in our conversation here. i think the chances of that happening are at least 50% that would be good news indeed. on the other hand, wilbur ross is quite correct and white house is saying for some time now that the chinese have balked. they tried to renegotiate. they reneged on a great deal and we didn't even have enforcement and other things locked in place. there is still a long way to go. but i don't want to be giddy with enthusiasm but president xi has politics. we got to un

michael doran. j solomon, author and journalist , also a fellow at the washington institute. to his right, rebeccah heinriches at hudson institute. and to my left is my friend and colleague, ray takeyh, joining us from the council on foreign relations. so the subject of our panel is mexican -- maximum pressure. which way is it leading? is it leading to as many people fear, conflict? or is it leading to need -- renegotiation of the joint comprehensive plan of action? or something else entirely? i think w'ell get much clearer answers after the panel. i'm going to ask my colleague michael to start us off. thank you, mike. michael: thanks, lee. i think maybe what i'll do is set the scene if that's all right. everyone knows a year ago in may president trump renounced the jcpoa and reimposed sanctions on the iranians. and then this april, he intensified the sanctions by denying waivers to many of the countries who had been given waivers, even after he renounced the jcpoa. in addition, he designated the revolutionary guard corps as a terrorist organization. and then, at the beginning of may, the administration took another st
