the government you need to make it a national security issue. i also think that we talk about structural, and it sounds so big. if each and every american decided what am i going to do, am i going to go and help at a boys and girls club? am i going to give money so that tutoring and broadband is stable? each and everyone of us -- if each and everyone of us did our part, it would not only be good for the cause that we have, it would be awfully good for us. because there is nothing better than dealing with people who have less than you have, it makes you less entitled, less aggrieved, and more of a participant in democracy. george schultz wore a tie that said democracy is not a spectator sport. that is the call to action.

he's the youngest national security advisor in some 60 years. had hillary clinton won the 2016 elections as pundits expected, would take. sullivan would've liked. we've been doing this job back in 2017, which would them would've only made him 40 years old at the time. sullivan had to wait, but in 2021 after joe biden was inaugurated as america's 46 president, jake sullivan. then just 43 years old, was tapped to become what kinda lease a rice called, quote, a rarefied position one, which she also held as national security advisor to the president. now sullivan is in darling of the liberal, elite. his roots as a midwestern boy from minnesota, one of 5 kids to a library and mom and white color dad with the kind of intelligence that found him at elite universities, such as your undergrad, oxford, and then back to you for his j. d. he's lauded by democratic circles as quote one of the brightest minds in washington risks. hillary clinton said sullivan had the right stuff to perhaps be post himself one day. but outside of these in solar, new liberal so

so a very high-level question how do you see that relationship, commercial, strength and national security do you see those as to bifurcated things were together overlapping? >> they definitely connected and the concept of economic security and national security is well agreed on between all parties. i think there's some concepts in washington, d.c. that get used often and that's one of them. the race to 5g often used. i think we need to start peeling back the onion a little bit more and discuss that means. what does it mean for economic, u.s. and economic power to underpin national security and why it is important that the u.s. dollar as the reserve currency for the world? it's because it puts us in a position where we are able to lead. it allows us to lead in standard bodies and manufacturing and deployment and it's so incredibly important not only for our own fiscal future but for our allies in order to bring them into the fold so they are making smart decisions along with us and i think sometimes when you have discussions people do tend to follow along different lines and i think the v

that is a critical national secured concern. you see the selling of these credentials so your social security number can be sold on these markets. your house, your home information so they can create a synthetic version of you, apply for your credit or otherwise, try to profit off your information. who is selling -- >> who is telling? >> it could be anyone. these darker markets are being relied upon by cyber criminals in russia. that is a common jurisdiction we see but truly, these actors are acting everywhere in the world. >> there is a part where brian and his team have the sanctions. with hydro, we work closely together, we actually charged the individual response of overrunning -- for running the darknet website. from a security perspective, ransomware and the movement of funds. there is a range of different types of activity. they are the fuel for illicit activity and we have to bring all of our tools there across the government to go after them. >> i was fascinated. this was a doj takedown. the servers of the cryptocurrenc

obviously, the 2020 national security law was initiated in beijing, not in hong kong. know that as well as i do. it also makes it much easier to extradite hong kong citizens into china. you know that, too. but leave that aside. i'm just interested in the mindset here. alice mak, obviously another well—known pro—beijing politician in hong kong, she said last year, "if hong kong is a police state, why not? "i don't think there's any problem with a police state." do you agree? you asked me exactly the same question in our last interview. exactly. but my point is that since then, you've supported this expansion of the article 23 of the basic law with, as you've just said, seven new offences. ijust wonder, this idea of hong kong becoming a police state, do you now embrace it? i think hong kong has always been a city where rule of law is being manifested, as i've already cited. and so if anybody has broken the law, then they will be subject to a fair trial and if they are found guilty, they would be prosecuted. and that's just the legal process, although i find it interestin

that's what the united states _ national securities?at the united states says _ national securities? that's what the united states says and _ national securities? that's what the united states says and that's - national securities? that's what the united states says and that's what. united states says and that's what raimondo's visit is trying to reinforce. trade itself is fine, especially in those services that are not national security relevant. in those areas where national security considerations are important, then there needs to be a small yard and a hyphen �*s. == small yard and a hyphen 's. -- hi sense. there _ small yard and a hyphen 's. -- hi sense. there has _ small yard and a hyphen 's. -- hi sense. there has been a - small yard and a hyphen 's. -- hi sense. there has been a lack- small yard and a hyphen 's. -- hi sense. there has been a lack of. sense. there has been a lack of clarity in what the united states wants. do you think we can get clarity? i wants. do you think we can get clari ? ~ ., �* , , wants. do you think we

people who are concerned about national security. as i think about this report and some of the recommendations, many of which i completely agree in education most certainly. i just have a little bit of deja vu. this time, maybe we will act. >> deja vu in an upset way? you wrote that report 10 years ago and here we are. >> these are structural issues. structural issues take time. i'm more optimistic because the panel that just talked, we have the technology now in education, personalized learning, bringing education to people in more remote areas, underserved schools where the teaching professions has not fully taken advantage of the technology available. let's make it an inflection point so 10 years from now we are not sitting here talking about it again. [applause] >> dr. howard, this is your report, what was your biggest take away? >> i'm coming from phoenix. it is a dry heat. >> my oven is a dry heat. >> when i first came to do this work, i said don't you remember this report? i said here we go again, it is like deja vu all over a

comment was asked out in the memorandum to : powell the number two on national security council at thatime you will see the call the speech mediocre and a missed opportunity. in attending an economic summit before going to west berlin, getting on air force one there was yet another alternative draft and in west berlin on the way to the wall i heard this from the deputy chief of staff that was in with the president ronald reagan explained he would deliver the speech as written and then he said the boys estate will call me for this but it's the right thing to do and that is the story of the speech ronald reagan delivered on june 12th. >> there is one sign the soviets would make that would be on mistake about to events dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. general secretary gorbachev , if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the soviet union and eastern europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. mr. gorbachev, open this gate.

even our national security strategy talks about this idea of inheriting national strength with the intelligence committee. we think about it different for a how do we take the information and intelligence we produce? and protect the sources and methods? and then be able to utilize that and share it. if you can have an ability to garner this information, a lot of the things we don't classify, we don't classify it for what it is but how we obtain it. so, if someone else obtains it, isn't it powerful to be able to tell that story? i think we have done a good job as an intelligence community of doing that. -- glenn: exactly hurry that's why i did go into your -- didn't go into your office with that. another remarkable change in a relatively short period of time. i mentioned at the beginning of this talk how just after you took office, the congress had reauthorized section 702. i had the privilege of being in the office the year before you. and at the agency. i recall how very involved the agency was in a tactical sense of supplying information and briefing congress, etc. the political decisions wer

it was some of those critical to national security. they stepped in to do something that -- geopolitical challenges in the generation, and not just in china but for what we are facing in russia. secure the supply of chips, a particular semiconductors. it is critical. we cannot do it alone. we've talked about what we called in america first foreign policy. harkening back to ronald reagan. people singing goes back to roman times. the idea of america first, we need to work with our allies to secure the supply chain in the semiconductor area. when i talk about the west, talking about the idea of the west. japan, south korea. so collaboration between software developers in the netherlands and equipment manufacturers in holland. manufactures clause the -- across the globe. japan, korea, all of that improve their situation vis-a-vis china. it is critical if we are going to de-risk the supply chains and secure our ability to maintain our way of life, but how we manage our self in a minor society. china's economic rise provides a lot of hope. th

it should be based around economic well-being with a long sustainable national security. we don't have all of that. everything is in different pieces and a lot of our national trade strategy is subject to individual and individual companies. for instance, we talk about auto tariffs, we talk about some restrictions in technology. media companies are giving away our ip's to china. building factories in china. working with the chinese to circumvent any restrictions and we don't have any policies as what defines sourcing allied sourcing, friends sourcing, furthermore i do believe we need to have a national trade policy that addresses all of these and that addresses it from a national, not an individual industry interview. i hope that answers your question. >> thank you very much. >> many thanks to both of our witnesses for coming before us today. i have a few questions, that duck from panel number one. what we know is there is fragility in the chinese economy. that has created a lack of consumer confidence to the same extent it used to exist in china, lack of consumer spending

investments in china will ultimately protect national security.t the same time allowing the legitimate financial flows to continue. the administration is asking for industry input to get the balance right. >> the first step in implementation is that we are talking stakeholders about our go -- goal, which the president outlined in his executive order, which is to make sure we are in a position where we can protect our national security by limiting the ability of u.s. firms to make investments that further china's military industrialized complex to get access to semiconductors that are most cutting edge. quantum technology, and also to certain types of artificial intelligence. what we are trying to do is to make sure we are building a regime that allows us to put in place financial restrictions that match a number of the export controls we've already put in place. in order to make sure we've got this right, what we've done is the treasury department has a number of questions and definitions that we've released in order to get input from industry but

here's another slide a memorandum to colin powell who was number two on the national security councilat that time and as you will see the memorandum called the speech mediocre and a missed opportunity. in italy the president had been attending an economic summit before going tong west berlin. in italy as he got on air force one to fly to west berlin the state department cables over yet another alternative draft and in west berlin in the limousine on the way to the wall and i heard this from the deputy chief of staff who was in the limousine with the president, ronald reagan explained he's going to deliver the speech as written and then he said, the boys at state are goingd to kill me for this it's the right thing to do. and that is the story of the speech that ronald reagan delivered on june 12, 1987. >> there is one sign that the soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. general secretary gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the soviet union and y eastern europe, if you sek liberalization, come her

, people could break national security just because of they're chanting a slogan.st have to wonder, like, how fragile the national security is, for people just to chant a slogan to break it. it's definitely a weapon to persecute activists, no matter they're in hong kong or overseas, and to make them to stop what they're doing. yeah, i mean, amongst their methods are putting pressure notjust on you, but on family and friends, and some of them, of course, still in hong kong. so how effective is that? because i know, in recent weeks, your family has felt this directly. this is definitely outrageous. like, when we look at the persecution in hong kong, it's getting more and more similar to mainland china. there are a lot of human rights activists, the most famous one, liu xiaobo, the nobel peace prize winner in 2010, they all got arrested, being put injailfor years, just because of they are speaking up against the government. what's more scary is their families also face similar situations. but your families have been questioned, they were briefly detained. and are they

you cannot have national security without food security.hen i look at the biden administration, we need an 180 degrees turn. we have the highest interest rates in 22 years and that affects our massively. we have the debt rating which just got lowered a couple of weeks ago. that will affect all of you and all of our grandchildren. that was a horrible piece of news. on national security, we have to make sure we are in a position, we are the food superpower. china imports the food every day. we have a chance as the american farmers to be given the level playing field and outperform everybody in the world. i know that from people in my hometown. i grew up with farmers. they can outperform anybody if given a level playing field. we have to make sure we are competitive. agriculture is a global economic engine. gov. reynolds: every single policy they pass i feel is an attack on america and the american people. i am so proud that iowa farmers produce 10% of the nation's food supply. everything you just talked about impacts the farmers who work day

i think that once again this is not a matter for the national security council, it is a matter for theent. i am the procedure for the ministry of foreign affairs to submit a corresponding e-e proposal to the government and the government should consider this issue. i really hope before that happens, we will reach an understanding with the israeli government regarding the review of our citizens and the regularization of the visits of religious hasids to ukraine during the razshashan and the allocation of the israeli police, which last year did not was present in uman despite the fact that in recent decades the israelis have sent their police also to help us to ensure order during these celebrations , that is, there are many problems and we are working on them, i hope we will be successful, mr. yevgeny well, i wish you success, thank you for joining to our broadcast and told what you can about the situation about the current relations between the countries, what ukraine actually expects from israel yevhen korniychuk, the ambassador of ukraine to israel, was a guest of svoboda ranok meanw
