flynn, the national security advisor.artment had already raised the questions that mr. flynn might be subject to blackmail, as the group in fact in the oval office talked, they mentioned what paul ryan the speaker of the house told reporters which is that mr. trump had asked mr. flynn to resign. it was under -- excuse me, it was unclear where speaker ryan got that information but president trump seized on mr. ryan's words, that sounds better the president said according to people with knowledge. many trump turned to the white house secretary to break the news media, say that mr. trump ordered. but was that true mr. spicer pressed? say that i asked for his resignation, mr. trump repeated. and after that, sean spicer in fact walked out to brief reporters on mike flynn's leaving the white house the previous night resigning the previous night. he told reporters the president asked for flynn's resignation. apparently that was not true the president did not ask for flynn to resign. oh, spicer also told reporters that the white

that is question for you, tom donilon president obama's national security advisor. >> the issue rightat we're going to do going forward. president obama's reports are indicated to president-elect trump he would be facing a crisis in north korea that would be a very serious national security challenge to the united states and he should bring to the top of the list. and i think if president obama if he had been allowed a third term under the constitution or another president-elected would have had the same crisis or challenge facing them and would have dealt with it appropriately. in my judgment this administration took its foot off the pedal on prematurity. >> to president trump's question on what was going on during the eight years during the obama administration. >> it was building opcampaign that was run at the beginning of the trump administration, that was an extension i think and intensification of the program the united states was on the path to run against north korea. >> tom donilon thank you very much for coming in tonight. appreciate your voice on this. >>> and when we come

excuse really by president trump for abandoning this treaty you know he's being advised by national security advisor john bolton to withdraw from the treaty bolton doesn't like arms control so he's not trying to build up some new treaty he's just trying to to tear down the old treaty i just have to say one thing though in response to the the good intervention by your guest in brussels it's not just president trump who has made the allegation of russian violation this started under president obama so and president obama had a great deal more credibility so i think we're on pretty solid grounds about the nature of the violation but i do agree that the way forward is to find ways to build a dialogue and arms control not to tear down agreements that have worked for so long right ok that probably most cool what happens what happens in the next six months because there's a six month suspension period now before the treaty officially at becomes knowledge level eight does looks good on the development and deployment spree of certain kinds of of missiles and other technology. whoa with the deployment of. lon

mike flynn wouldn't have been the national security advisor. steve bannon wouldn't have been in the white house. i mean... >> that's if he listened to your recommendation, but those people were all part of his inner circle during the campaign, and those people who were in the campaign... >> and, by the way, so was i. >> ...normally transition over. >> and so was i. and in the end, margaret, he didn't have those things put in front of him to meet with the people we were recommending. all things that he said during the campaign -- we said, "okay, you want to achieve this? here's how you do it. here's who you have to consult. here are the pros. here are the cons. let's go." and i didn't expect the president to read it, but the people who were involved would have done it. >> did you try to convince president trump not to hire retired general michael flynn as national security advisor, or did you lose the chance to do that because you'd been fired? >> no, i was doing that from june forward... >> yes. >> ...when i first went into national security br

president donald trump's former national security advisor and other white house officials are accused of ignoring legal advice in a bid to sell nuclear technology to saudi arabia that's according to a new report released by u.s. house democrats now they accuse administration officials of pushing for american companies to build thousands of nuclear power plants across the kingdom the efforts were in defiance of legal and ethical warnings that included concerns the saudis would use u.s. technology to develop a nuclear weapon mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. and has been following the story said that ming reports implicating some of the people closest to the president just explain to us how badly these findings are for particular individual. well on the surface of it it's explain lee damning this is an extensive report and what's breathtaking about it is the detail that is provided names dates types of correspondence relating to the whole issue but one must remember that this is just the beginning the first salvo in what is likely to be a lengthy process this the first s

repeated the outspoken that was forced to confront in the obama years before he became trump's national security advisor rightly warning against the siren song of negotiations because you could only always rely on the family to cheat so that national security advisor john bolton he is arranging a second summit and the capitulation of so many figures is probably the most dangerous aspect of the trump phenomenon far more than the president himself with what he enacted. y-letter? because those style of politics he represents is a personal phenomenon as soon as he has left the stage against the barbarians at the gate have chosen to lower the drawbridge so the liberal order under siege that is in defense of perpetuation. so what happened in the 19 twenties and to give yourself to nationalism with the intellectual organization to see the value of knowledge and value of action that the world has ever seen. and with that reputation was short term policy gains. ten or 50 years from now with the corporate tax rate stood at 35 or 20 percent and then to decide to vilify the past with criminals and jobs and another

williams and speech was approved by the prime minister's chief of chief of staff and by the national security advisor presumably a part of national security council does this look like a bit of an oversight a site or a sort of miscommunication here well both those people you mentioned are civil servants they're not ministers national security advisor is a civil servant so has a chief as a general stuff is military matters person but not a minister so if truly a pattern described by the national security council includes ministers they're the ones who have to change the decisions not the one minister and that's to then secretary on his own so say it was a real. slaps full williamson is going to learn how to behave properly and understand the complexity of the modern world and you can't just to brandish savers rattle sabers talk about gunboat diplomacy results thinking of the consequences of what you're saying just look at the wider picture here the u.k. does face some economic challenges following that of course signing new trade deals establishing you trade partnerships do you think it's made more di

national security advisor john bolton called on these pro governments to switch sides doubling down on the bad that doesn't make it to good that there is still time for russian others to join the community of responsible nations and recognizing why do the national assembly and the path to freedom and prosperity in the desert now although no one has yet to take bolton's advice the situation is definitely getting more tense and any changes in international legion says are certainly going to influence the domestic situation there. well the international monetary fund said on thursday about it is holding talks with member states and whether to recognize one wind was venezuelan president it follows reports that the self-proclaimed leader was considering asking the global financial body for a bailout a spokesperson for the i.m.f. said a consensus must be reached before any loans can be issued to the country the countries are still establishing the position in terms of recognition sudha proof that process is ongoing so as i said we are watching that closely. well the i.m.f. has one hundred ei

national security advisor has issued an ominous threat to the leader of nicaragua over the recent jailing of all position activists so bolton tweeted that president dining will take his days are numbered in reference to a recent speech by don't trump. socialism and communism are numbered not only in brands well. as of the belgian statement came off the three prominent figures in last year's anti-government riots in nicaragua sentenced to more than two hundred years in prison the rest started last april after the government introduced reforms raising taxes and slashing pensions more than three hundred twenty people were killed in the riots the government eventually backed down scrapping the reforms like in the u.s. national security advisor john bolton described the country as part of a troika of tyranny in south america alongside venezuela and cuba. this troika of tyranny this triangle of chair stretching from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering. one of the other members of that so-called troika venezuela is in the grip of a full blown political crisis uni

that it's about oil and all we have to do is look at what trumps national security advisor had to say these were his words he said quote it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in venezuela so this obviously has a lot to do with the oil of venezuela people forget that venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. in just.

meanwhile the us national security advisor john bolton is urging russia to join the chorus of calls to recognize the opposition leader as interim president earlier the european union signed on along with other american allies we discussed of the u.s. backing of the opposition figure with the host of artie's worlds apart. presumably the united states always knows what's best for people in other countries and you know what's astounding in this whole debacle for me is that it is not only the every successive american administration of falls for the same regime change operation irrespective of its ideological persuasions but also that it always does it in exactly the same way by pushing a very stark and very misguided choice on the people it supposedly wants to benefit because. it is a very legitimate conversation of whether president there has been good or bad in handling or mishandling the economy in his country there are many critics of his economic policies within the venezuela and outside the country but this very vocal and very unapologetic backing by the americans really frames the

doing but in that same administration you have a secretary of state might come pedo and a national security advisor john bolton who are committed to they won't call it this but they are committed to regime change in iran after shredding that nuclear deal so you've got a not only divided but a two faced administration and one face might be going towards a more realistic policy with saudi intelligence services but as long as you've got john bolton and mike pompei o driving the idea that iran has to change then you don't have a consistent u.s. policy on iran on saudi arabia or on yemen so if this measure does get out of congress bottom line scott do you think that donald trump will just will veto it will squash it and it will all have been for not. i think doesn't actually question because donald trump is so we can politically how many fights does he want to have i think it turns a lot on what jarrett cushion or says in his ear i think it turns a lot on what the national security advisor john bolton turns on presses him on but i think no i think if it's a limited congressional measure which says the u

well as mick mulvaney his acting chief of staff notable is that not at this dinner is the national security advisor john bolton who you will recall even before entering into the trumpet ministration at one time penned an editorial for the wall street journal making the argument for a preemptive strike potentially on north korea he is not a fan of these talks he does not believe that they will yield the results that donald trump is donald trump branding his sort of unique diplomacy that if you sell the opportunity of economic prosperity that kim jong il would will be willing to give up his nuclear arsenal but i can tell you that there are many not just john bolton the national security advisor this feel this way but also many members of congress who have privately and publicly said that they are concerned about these talks that they believe that the administration should continue its maximum pressure campaign until there is some sort of tangible and concrete roadmap put in place in terms of denuclearize ation and then of course we have to point to the very conflicting and contradictory statements of

new security conference here in munich isn't just about the big names of the moment faces it's also about the special advisor our guest this week friend roche a former national security advisor to president obama after two years of chop house while fuz obama's lead. this is holding up complex. belgrade are the people are angry. or upset about serbia's populist conservative government. claiming the traditional. player. to play. the game sixteen of. the. players. with the senses. recognize and experience the inexpressible. cultural magazine. arts twenty one. g.w. . the annual security conference here in munich isn't just about the big names and well known faces it's also about the special advisers who crossed global policies and what the secret caught up my guest this week is one of the these ben rhodes and former national security advisor to president obama after two years of the presidency how well is obama's legacy holding up.

president donald trump's former national security advisor and other white house officials pushed a venture to bring nuclear power plants the saudi arabia that's according to a new report released by u.s. house democrats now they accuse the trumpet ministration of ignoring repeated legal and ethical warnings in its quest to have american companies build dozens of nuclear power plants across the kingdom potentially at the risk of spreading nuclear weapons reallocations are made in a twenty four page report from the house oversight and reform committee. joins us live now from washington d.c. our roles this is a damning report implicating some of the people closest to the president what more can you tell us about. well barbara this is the cover page for the twenty four page draft interim report from the house oversight committee and you really need a big chart to track all of the people who are alleged to be pushing for a deal between the united states and saudi arabia that would involve the sale of u.s. nuclear reactor technology to saudi arabia with out going through congress and that is a r

and what the secret government i guess this week is one of them he's ben rhodes and former national security advisor to president obama after two years of the troubles presidency how well is obama's legacy holding up. and rose welcome. thanks for having me i'll give you one of the biggest upsets of the presidency was the election of donald trump set out to repudiate a lot of what president obama did why didn't you see that coming. well you know i think most people were surprised by the results of the election i think it was a number of factors you know i think the first is that you're broke obama personally was still quite popular at the end of his presidency the economy was growing and it seemed like things were set up for a democratic victory in that election and you said being with obama gave you the confidence that you were part of something that was right yes was there certain arrogance in that do you think no no i mean when i say that i mean that you know frankly as progressives i think barack obama and me tend to sometimes think that history is moving in one direction that societies are becom

well it appears to be just that it's about oil and all we have to do is look at what trumps national security advisor had to say these were his words he said quote it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in venice well so this obviously has a lot to do with the oil of venezuela people forget that venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world yeah it is crazy because they've they've had all these resources there but they haven't been able to develop and they did so we've covered this in the in the past with the tavern sure that they really did well in the ninety's but then they slacked off they've not developed their infrastructure but now clearly from what you say mr bolton the national security advisor he wants to go in there pretty much up front totally for oil and money. well he actually made a few threatening tweets not only to venezuela but to me that i was well aware there are have also been protests since last year it looks like many critics are saying that this could be the start o

you know the national security advisor john bolton has great sway in the white house he's very much behindthis withdrawal from the i.m.f. he doesn't like arms control secretary of state pump goes along with him i think that at some point john bolton will wear out his welcome at the white house national security advisors don't last very long in the white house under trump nobody last very long frankly and if if if a bolton were to be replaced by by somebody more traditional seeing the kind of values of having an arms control agreement in place with russia with russia as most of the u.s. security establishment does then it's conceivable that trump could extend it he could tweak it a little bit he could call it his deal and as long as he can put his name on it and claim it that is a possibility although as i say i think we're grasping at straws all right and coming to you in brussels the weald today and in six months time is this definitely a mood move dangerous place that it was a year ago. oh yes definitely i mean what we're witnessing and i can only agree it was the previous speakers and w
