ambassador, national security adviser, and domestic policy national director, to name just a few. but we are particularly proud of susan today because she's one of our own. for seven years, she was a senior fellow in brookings as well as her mother, was a economic studdies expert at brookings before her. susan, we're honored to welcome you back to brookings for this special event. finally, i'd like to share that we've created the jeffrey a. bader memorial lecture fund to support this annual series. we're deeply grateful to ambassador jon huntsman and jerry wang for their significant contributions which made today's event possible. we're also circulating cards with information on how you can contribute to the fund should you be interested. i would now like to turn the podium over to ryan haas who serves as a senior fellow and director of the john l. thornon china center, and ryan will moderate a fireside chat with susan after which they'll take questions from the audience. over to you. ryan: thank you very much, president rouse. that was a wonderful introduction. susan: i like that

europe exemplifies the intertwining of economics and national security. uld not come as a big surprise. after world war i and world war ii, we are not doing that again. we took on a different approach. to start with security by economic integration. the key part of the marshall plan the allies who signed up to receive marshall plan assistance had a great their economies. and the deal was the initial economic integration will lead to political integration and then 2 years after the marshall plan and 49 nato was funded to secure the deal. this goes all the way back following world war ii. i don't think there is any better example today the connection between economic insecurity than what we have seen our european allies due in the last 2 years since february 22 and pretends aggression invasion of ukraine. in 2 years europe has engineered the primary energy sources. that's amazing almost 2 years ago i said what is the best that europe can do this? i know what they would have said but there is a very current case study of the connection between secure energy.

perhaps most importantly, it would weaken our national security and make us more vulnerable to serious threats facing our nation. more than 70% of the federal workforce serves in defense and national security agencies. proposals that would remove career national security experts in order to increase a president's political influence over agencies would hit hardest where the stakes are highest. regardless of anyone's personal opinion about the u.s. strategy for military engagement, diplomacy, intelligence, or disaster preparedness, we all want to trust that our leaders in these roles are informed with accurate, reliable, and complete information. this is especially true given the gravity of the decisions these leaders make every day in any presidential administration. we don't have to rely on hypotheticals to imagine what a personnel system under a president's political control would look like. in the 1800's, employment in the civil service was a patronage system, based on rewarding people who followed the same politics. that led to a less effective workforce, one that was unqualified,

it hurt american workers or compromise national security interest.just allow for the chinese regime to the benefits of economic integration while containing to squash domestic dissent heard i don't think will decouple ourselves completely from trotting at the unrealistic and probably a bad decision from a national security perspective. we do want to have some economic dependence on each other. but when it comes to strategic industries we have to build a capability either in the united states or between the nine states are democratic allies should be able to make sure we can produce critical minerals, critical medicines, critical high-technology products in the united states or countries reaffirm iraq solid alliances with pickwick to specifically say not decoupling this it ministration's been not saying the couplet donald trump of course is for 60% tariffs on all goods coming from china. when you consider the economic relationships are terse and appropriate tool to be using? democrats include this administration.

foreign ag landownership is a national security -- land ownership is a national security issue and it should be treated as such. over the last several years we've all experienced firsthand the detrimental impact food and energy supply chain disruptions can have on our communities. therefore it's simply common sense that we pass this bill to better address this ongoing threat. with that, i yield back. mr. lucas: i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. ms. waters: again, i yield myself such time as i may consume. my colleague is exactly right. that the financial services committee passed language that is similar in some respects to representative newhouse's bill just six months ago, in the consolidated appropriations act. that language reflected bipartisan work done by the financial services committee on two republican bills that had been marked up by our committee with unanimous votes. we continued to work in a bipartisan manner, as well as with the s

national security interests. regardless of the politics the american people should be able to trust the professional civil service puts the public future first and honors their oath to protect it within the constitution through legislation and oversight. it's the responsibilityte of congress to protect the nonpartisan nature for service. without i want to make sure everybody knows that the record for the hearing will remain open for 15 days until 5:00 p.m. on october 2, 2024 and the submission of statements and questions for the record. with that thank you for being here in this hearing and we are now adjourned. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations]

if we want to look at the inflection about economic security is national security. obviously, we are paying attention to what the white house administration is doing around the military. and it sees so important to ukraine. can you talk about in addition to military support, the economic security is important. >> first, what is vladimir putin's strategy? and not able to hit ukraine so is goal now is to break ukraine. we just saw another catastrophic strike and hundred into darkness so they could not have sustainable economic try to plunged into darkness so it could not have sustainable economic activity, and looking ahead to next winter, plunged into cold so that the ukrainian people will suffer. it is a nihilistic strategy. it is a destructive strategy, but it is what he is trying to accomplish to break the country and break the will of the people. i don't believe there will, will be broken, but if we do not mobilize adam marshall the collective effort of the countries supporting ukraine, working with the ukrainians behind, sustaining their economic activity, sustai

i have been speaking to the former national security advisor general h.r. who just published a memoir of his 30 months inside the trump white house. the book is, at war with myself, my tour of duty in the trump white house. two assassination attempts on the former president in as many months. what do you make of it? gen. mcmaster: it does allude to the degree in which the polarized nature of our political vitriol is not only bad for our psyche, it is bad for governance -- it is past time for us to come together and begin discussions on what we can agree on. i also described how the trump administration was at war with itself in a way that reflected the polarization, the vitriol in our politics broadly. the book in some ways is a call to stop this self-destructive behavior. christian: why? do you think the toxicity in politics right now is making washington less effective? i don't mean nessarily less effective domestically, because we all know congress is not been that effective in recent years. i mean effective as a superpower on the world stage. gen. mcmas

particular to my service in the clinton administration, i was privileged to be working on the national security staff. i was 28 years old. my first job in the africa office was working on the united nations and peacekeeping. and i was named assistant for african affairs. i was in big positions of responsibility at a very early age. needless to say, i got some things right and some things wrong. i learned some real lessons in leadership and growth along the way. the things that i would say to a young susan rice about what i got right and what i would do again, i think for better or for worse, i was confident in who i was, and i brought that confidence into the room, which was necessary as somebody of that age, but in particular, somebody who looks like me. that offended some people. that impressed some people. it created some adversaries along the way, but being fearless, being forthright, being unabashed i think is something i would advise others to be. what i would say i did wrong was i was insufficiently patient, and i remain impatient, but i'm getting better. i learned sometimes the hard way

and the national security and defense council, they forbade officials and militaryuse the telegram messenger on work devices, well , again, they were the first to clarification of the national security council, they only recommended, there is no language in the text, secondly, if they, if they wanted to ban, they would have to register with the ministry of justice and rely on some law, none of this they they did not do it, they simply informed in a telegram: that it is not recommended to use the telegram, that is what they did, you know, again, if the person is a military serviceman, even more so, well, there, let's say, an average or higher officer rank, but here i am , as an employee of the tv channel, is it a work device or a private one, on the one hand , it is my personal phone, but i use it in work chats as well, well, meengzher is meant, messenger facebook, that’s why it’s hard to say here, again they will say not not to use in working devices, but it's yours private devices, if you are a civil servant or a military officer and you are of interest to the enem

ali larijani , the former secretary of the supreme national security council, who called you have accompanied us on the news program of the lebanese national media. the attack was reported to beirut today. you will receive the live and direct images of zahiya, as well as the zahiya of beirut, which was the target of a brutal attack by the zionist regime for the umpteenth time, mr. dr. ferdowsipour . fasting in 2006 or let's go back earlier, that is, 1982, the progress of the zionist regime considering that it is in the war of attrition. gaza is also in trouble and has not been able to achieve its goals in this war and in this arena. do you think how it will go ? you are absolutely right . it showed that in this change , hezbollah's strategic process against the zionist regime has become completely different, that is, the events that hezbollah did with the houdah flights before these recent incidents. hezbollah database complete what i mentioned was that, in fact , the basic bases of israel's security intelligence , i.e. 820,960,504, the army and security organizations were targeted by hezboll

also, the iraqi national security adviser said the agreement in a conversation with sed and sima newsncy the withdrawal of american troops will be finalized in the next month. as part of the coalition that was created in 2014 to fight isis, america deployed approximately 2,500 soldiers in iraq and about 900 soldiers in syria, which includes forces from france and england. the media statements of iraqi defense minister sabet al-abasi , who had announced the imminent withdrawal of american troops from the country, now the iraqi national security adviser has announced the implementation of the agreement for the complete withdrawal of american troops in october next month. reported on this pretext , we went to the office of qasim al-aarji, the national security advisor of iraq, and asked him about the details of this agreement, but because of this, the agreement on the withdrawal of american soldiers and even other foreign soldiers was supposed to be signed in september, but due to the current developments in the region, the signing this agreement was postponed , however, we believe that

the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country went to another country in the sian region, namely belarus, after 3 days of consultations on the sidelines of the summit of brics high security officials in st. petersburg, russia, to meet with the president of the country. political, security and economic issues of this country , but the intensive meetings and two speeches of ali akbar ahmadian at the official meeting of the islamic republic of iran in the direction of ensuring international peace and security , confronting the unilateralism of the united states , resulted in the strengthening of iran's security diplomacy, deepening of cooperation and convergence with the brics member countries in the field of international security and clarifying some ambiguities with russia, including about the threat of force . we adhere to previous agreements with the islamic republic of iran regarding zang zor. ali akbar ahmadian had two important meetings on the last day of his stay in st. petersburg. first with wang, the chinese foreign minister. the islamic republic of iran

sergiy shaygo, secretary of the national security council of russia , high-level political and security officials of brics also have a plan and an idea to strengthen international peace and security. they proposed unilateralism and moving towards multilateralism. expressing his satisfaction to attend this important meeting, the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country, who is also at the head of a delegation a high-ranking official was present at this meeting, he called brics a historic approach. mr. ahmadian spoke about the bitter truths of these days in the world. unfortunately, today we face the bitter truth. we are facing, and that is that america and some of its western allies are trying to compensate for their inability in the economic and technological competition scene with the three factors of terrorism, sanctions and tension between countries . the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country also presented suggestions to brics members. i have established a specific proposal. common in the areas of international peace and security

you made a decision or was it a to serve as national security adviser while still in uniform military. did you give some thought to that? what kind of consideration and were behind your thinking? well, think so. there are number of considerations here, but the main one was the president asked me to, you know, so i was like the for first line in the interview. i tell the story in the interview more largo. he he said, can you stay in uniform? and i explained that you, colin powell and how colin powell had been in uniform and brant scowcroft to stay in your as a deputy national school adviser, retired he before he came back as national security visor. so i told the president that. and then it occurred to the president, you know, his fellow, he said, well, he thought it maybe might disadvantage me from a financial perspective, because, well, you know, how much does a three star general make? and i said it, president, you're think this is crazy, but i have no idea i mean, my check my check goes to my wife. and every time i use an atm, it works. he looked at me and he said, wow, you really

threatening our national security, our sovereignty, inability to feed ourselves. food is security.ill always be national security. and finally, mr. speaker, the rule before us includes consideration of h.r. 9494, a continuing resolution to extend government funding at current levels through march 28, 2025. to date the house has passed legislation to fund more than 70% of our federal government operations for fiscal year 2025. meanwhile, senate democrats have failed to bring forward a single fiscal year 2025 appropriations bill to the floor. this continuing resolution avoids a government shutdown but also includes the save act, requiring proof of united states citizenship to vote in federal elections. democrats' open door policies have turned our country into a sanctuary for illegal aliens. and now they want them to vote. the save act ensures that only american citizens decide america's future. the democrats' open border policies have brought nothing but chaos and destruction to our communities as millions of illegal aliens have flooded into this country. the left's refusal to secur

the secretary of the supreme national security council, as well as mrs. wanchshawni, minister of presidential adviser. the republic of south africa met and discussed the development of bilateral cooperation and convergence in the international arena. the summit of brics security officials will be held on wednesday and thursday and the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country is one of the speakers of the opening session of this summit. strengthening and promoting international regional national security, as well as the development of cooperation, are among the most important agendas of the brics meeting. america burned more than 33 square kilometers of forest areas and bushes in this region , so far more than 20 thousand people were forced to leave their homes. the american media reported that the fire started due to the spark caused by the heavy equipment used by the workers and is rapidly spreading. 9 o'clock minutes and the end of this news section. vision meeting shows totek's confidence. totek is an abbreviation child educatio

minister's national security advisor , ajit kumar davalo.course, biden may not think about all this. on the one hand, this is speaks of his brain's ability to reflect what is happening, on the other hand, that the white house is letting the military escalation take its course, throwing away the levers of control. on friday , british prime minister starmer came to biden to talk about strategic cooperation. as always , the british, since the time of churchill, are egging on. churchill urged truman to drop an atomic bomb on moscow, today london is ahead of the escalation of deliveries of ever new weapons to kiev, they are pulling towards a big war, although they themselves, as they say in english, are sitting in a glass home. in the event of a missile strike on it, britain is literally naked, it has no missile defense system, even the american pro does not apply to it, much less does britain have a missile warning system... attack, even in its infancy, and what is there, arrogance, intrigue , classic english primness, in fact , is not enough to

intellectual left theft is a serious problem and threatens our national security. and we should be working together on a bipartisan basis to address this matter as was done in the homeland security committee in the 117th congress under then chairman thompson's leadership. but unlike the bill that passed through the committee last congress, this bill before us today would essentially prohibit any collaboration between u.s. and chinese universities even when that collaboration has no national security or commercial significance. think creative writing programs, history, anthropology or lifesaving cures for diseases. i know that is not the intent of this bill and that is why the bill needs more work. let me clarify. this bill uses a definition of chinese entity of concern that is so broad that it would include any chinese university or college that has a relationship with the chinese government, which is basically all of them. by definition, chinese entity of concern is defined as any virtually any university in china and ole cultural exchange programs or engagements o

today, the iraqi minister of defense and the national security adviser announced that the americans must leave iraq completely in the near future. tonight, we will discuss the details of this news. we are going to talk about the suspension of a university professor because of his statements about the genocide in gaza. before the beginning of the palestinian talks, according to the picture in shaban yesterday. well, i will go to the first case of the world today. the iraqi minister of defense said that the process of withdrawal of american soldiers will begin soon, as well as the iraqi national security adviser. he also said in a conversation with sada and sima news agency: the agreement on the withdrawal of american troops will be finalized in the next month. as part of the coalition formed in 2014 to fight isis, the us has deployed approximately 2,500 troops in iraq and around 900 troops in syria, which includes forces from france and the uk. the theme of the agreement is that there will be stages of withdrawal from the territory of iraq. following the media statements of iraqi defense

that truly is an issue of national security. one thing we have is somebody kisses and intended purchases of agricultural assets are national security -- near national security assets, military bases, power generation. those are some of the things we want to be careful of that the underlying reason why this is important is we have seen an increase by a factor of 10 of investments by the ccp in the united states over the last decade in our agricultural industry. i think our response to that is a very important step forward. host: i think you are referring to the protecting agriculture from foreign adversaries act. guest: yes. host: what are the chances it will be passed by the senate and be signed by the president? guest: i think very good. it is been a bipartisan effort, it passed with 269 votes in the house. there is an identical bill in the senate. i think the chances of this being signed into law are actually quite good. host: there are offer -- also efforts to ban chinese made drones paid is that? guest: we passed several bil

see i, i go to a national security strategy and one pillar of died was predicting on people. the point i'm making is not shown securities, not merely about it. it's important to predict about us to make sure i think those figured is good. but ultimately, as the citizens of this country and, and why i am saying of protecting their it is because you have, it shows like the jobs you have, it shows like environment, time of change, how it is going to impact uh, organization is going to take place but i'm going to move from your knowledge is when it goes to towns, how would you provide them the set of facilities that they need this also. so i think they should follow me in and to group out of how we look at our national security, which is why i said they don't. people also must be in the hospital 5 the scores and discussions on, on national security. yeah, that's i do me, vincent, but also it is even the detritus attacks the country. right. the decreased completely and there was a into them thing. i've said, yeah, so this is the political build things do? absolutely. i think you ha

it's absolutely crucial as a national security threat to us. >> thank you. my time is up. >> thank you very much for following up on that. is our southern border a national threat? i've only seen in your report one time. amb. edelman: yes, absolutely. the border security is a threat. >> we do call in the report for additional funding across the agencies of national security including dhs which has the fundamental responsibility for the border. 80,000 chinese coming across the border in the last nine months. is that a threat? that's a pretty good threat, isn't it? amb. edelman: it's a potential threat. >> huge. i don't understand why we're not talking about it. more fentanyl. i saw a report the other day where you can order fentanyl from china and make it at your own house. you can order be delivered and make millions of pills without any repercussion. we've lost our mind, we're losing our kids. you're talking about education. i spent 35 years in education. your report, mentions changing our military standards. is that correct? to take more young men and women

secretary of the national security council of russia. during the meeting, the president of our country delivered the message of russian president vladimir putin to him and presented a report of the agreements between the two sides to mr. medzikian. the secretary of the national security council of russia also met with mr. ahmadian, the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country. mr. shoigu in this meeting on the renewed support of russia. from iran's policy towards crossings and routes he emphasized communication with the republic of azerbaijan. yesterday, the special representative of the president of russia met and discussed with the secretary of the supreme national security council of our country about the agreements on the north-south corridor. the 18th session of the court hearing the accusations of 14 members of the mojahedin khalq organization accused of hypocrites and also the nature of this organization was held. became. the judge of the court of the hypocrites said to the secretary general of the united

national security crisis, the wide open border., days after the an a anniversary of 9/11. >> this is the truth about the southern border, this isn't an accident, wasn't something that happened to the biden, harris administration. this is a crisis they deliberately cree ated. they the case of guatemala we that former president who left office last year after a highly contested elks and -- election and vice president harris is trying to take credit for having saved democracy in guatemala by forcing the election of his owe pen me meant -- owe owe pen meat he said he was trying to work with them to work against unfettered migration and the vice president's office specifically said no, they were not interested in that, that they were going to continue to allow the passage, free passage of migrants through got ma a lap towards the southern border so this is something they've created so as we face the security threats you rightly define are manifesting here at home because of this crisis. we have to remember this is something they did. it

and the national security and defense council, they forbade officials and the militarye telegram messenger on working devices, well , that is, again, they first had an explanation from the national security council, they only recommended, there is none in the text, and again, if they, if they wanted to ban, they should have registered in ministry of justice. to rely on some law, they didn't do any of that, they simply informed in a telegram that it is not recommended to use the telegram, that's what they did, you know, again, if a person is a military serviceman, all the more so, well, let's say an average person or you. .. officer bells, a here is yours, i, as an employee of the tv channel, is it a work device or a private one, on the one hand, it is my personal phone, but i sit in it in work chats as well, well, messenger, it is meant, messenger, facebook, so, that's why it's hard to say here, again they will say, not not to use in work devices, but your private devices, if you are a civil servant and a military officer, you are interesting to the enemy, one way or an

it's absolutely crucial as a national security threat to us that we do more. >> to pick my time is up. today. >> thank you. senator tuberville. >> thank you. following up on that, is our southern border a national threat? i've only seen a report one time -- >> yes. absolutely the border security is a threat. we do call in the report for additional funding across the agencies of national security, including dhs, which has the fundamental responsibility for the border. >> 80,000 chinese coming across the border in the last nine months. is that a good threat? >> is a potential threat. yes. >> huge. i don't understand where were not talking about it more. i don't understand why we're not talking about it. where you can order fentanyl from china and make it from your own house. you can order it to be w delivered and make millions of pills without any repercussion. we have lost our minds. we are losing our kids. i spent 35 years in education. your report mentions change in our military standards to take more men than women through the military. >> a part of what you hear through that is the

yes, we have adopted the concept of national security.neral approaches are only outlined, exactly how to act, there are clear algorithms for this for the air force and air defense, for border guards, for the armed forces, therefore we need to act together and strictly implement the agreements that we have at the interdepartmental level and, of course, on the external contour with the russian federation, and we can achieve some result with bans, but it will be short-term, so we need to engage in general information training and education of our citizens and do it constantly. here i would continue this thought, the russian federation is very active now in the context of suppressing everything that concerns destructive relations or statements, actions in relation to the special military operation being carried out, so it will not be news that in 2020, when we plunged into this topic of color revolution, provocation in essence internal armed conflict of divisions in our society, we have clearly defined everything that is connected with attemp
