mr. kissinger: it will take tremendous physical threads to imagine them yielding.ina helping us. they are not there to help us. they are there to help themselves. at a moment when the interests of america and the interests of china coincide, we don't want nuclear weapons and north korea. it threatened my representative to us and to others. the chinese do not want nuclear weapons in korea. if those weapons remain, other countries in asia are sure to build nuclear weapons. and so the whole area will be nuclear rise. in these countries are in great tension with each other. it would be an extremely dangerous situation, of which china would be a greater target. it is conceivable that china could use its influence and pressures. that the north koreans might be induced, substantially, to reduce their nuclear threat. but at the end, denuclearization has to be the objective. charlie: this idea has been there. even this president tried to talk to them about going light. if they would use their influence with china, was his approach wrong? >> with trade if they help with chin

mr. kissinger about migrants in europe and he was deeply emotional about it, the importance of this issuege the migrant immigration debate in germany? i think the debate has already changed. lag we are seeing now is a reaction at the polls which was palpable even a year ago. basically, the consensus in germany is this was a one-time touation where maybe one had let in one million refugees and maybe not. the government did not and let particularly well. there will be problems with integration going forward. is some amount of regret. on the whole come i think the majority of the population still merkel's decision to let them in but going forward, it's a different name and it's not something the population wants repeated. ifdcine: how will the change the policies of the merkel coalition? there are basically two dimensions. securitygration and inside germany. i actually don't think they will change very much because the big change in terms of prioritizing internal security come in terms of making sure no additional would have already occurred in the last color should -- last coalition. i thin

mr. kissinger. >> thank you for being here and your service to your country. it's very much appreciated. i think state and u.s. military are the unsung hero and we never see because of the lack of war and hard to quantify. the global disengagement, i want to drill into that. you mentioned the $49 million of dod. you are accepting the $80 million written in the statute and that would be $120 million in essence, is that what you're saying? >> we have requested and received from the defense department frowrbt million. we -- $40 million. we have our own appropriate funds we are applying to the global engagement mission. that is happening. if you look at your own design, where does the state department figure into your redesigned plans? where do you see this going and benefits of pushing back against propaganda of eastern friends i guess or non-friends or competitors? >> the global engagement center figures prominently in our global diplomacy in countering the maligned activities of terrorist organizations, whether isis, al qaeda, their affiliates. that has been th
