which was released in 1950, it was orchestrated by the state and then sort of newly formed national security council. but they said we were fundamentally to reassess our national security in the whole big picture of american security, foreign policy and national and the entirety of u.s. grand strategy, essentially. and he said that during the drafting of nsc 68 at that time, the pillars of our postwar foreign policy were failing. so basically we were in a moment we're having emerged victorious from the world war. we were nonetheless losing the entire for what really do we do with the post-cold war, with the post-world two moment, with the early cold war? and then, you know, if you zoom very out, nixon, his colleagues came together and put together a us grand strategy that arguably set us up to win the long cold war and later was, as reagan saw it, set up, the first principles that we ultimately use for victory and contribue therefore to two enormous american success in the toughest contests we've had so if we're now in an era where those at hudson believe we're facing something like a new cold war,

yes, what more would you like to see the united nations security council do? they need to address the fact that hamas is a terror organisation. they need to condemn it and demand the immediate release of all the hostages. why do you think, in your mind, there has been a lack of progress within the united nations? i'm not naive, and i know most of it is political anyway. but for me, it was important to say and to remind them what they need to do, and to show them that there are faces and families behind what they see as a simple hostage situation. i want them to be aware of the fact that hamas is committing crimes against humanity, which they've practically ignored up until now. although that's exactly the job that this council was intended to do, they are still not doing it. michael, we can see there over your shoulder a picture of your brother 0r. he was kidnapped from the nova music festival on 7 october. his wife was killed by hamas. have you heard anything from your brother since then? do you have any sense right now of his condition? unfortunately, the on

it sounds like when i listen to the tice family, that the national security council is not following what the president is asking or what the president is stating. this was allowed to go forward and lot of examples and other kind of innovation in the space and stopped by the government. a lawyer that's an expert in sanctions relief who's a friend of the tices took on a case and handled it expertly to try and get sanctions relief for a individual with meaning to leadership in syria but was not a blood relative and was not a business associate and was cleared by the fbi and the uk government. it was stopped by the government. there aren't answers about why it won't proceed so when the tices are asking what can you do, what can you do, and the answers are, we can wait or we don't know what we can do. we know what can be done. get out of the way. if you're not going to have innovation and you're not going to do anything, at least don't stop important things from taking place and going forward. they pushed a 2020 meeting and a proof of life offered by the syrians of the u.s. government. t

and so, at the national security council, mr. sullivan has already issued guidance to everybody to begin to prepare for that turnover. there is going to be a new team, one way or the other, so all of us in positions of leadership and management at the nsc are beginning to collect information and context and organize our work in such a way that, when that new team comes in, we can affect a competent, thorough, and comprehensive turnover of the issues that we are working on to them. now obviously whoever the new team is, they'll decide for themselves what policies they're going to pursue, and what they may continue to do, or what they may not want to continue to do, but jake's guidance was we're going to be ready, this is going to be a clean and a thorough, and a cordial turnover of our responsibilities. >> we are going to go to questions. >> and oh, shocked. >> do you get a sense of how clean the break would be between a biden and harris administration? do you think they are planning to have a reboot and a whole new team? >> i'm g

uh, the uh, high position of this particular general he was a deputy chair of the russian national security council. so this rather touches close to home. and this has led, dimitri made very of the former russian president and prime minister and still a prominent figure on russia's national security council is referred to this as the agonies of the band. there are regime in ukraine. they're resorting to such tactics because of their failure to achieve any success on the battlefield. so this is kind of a necessary step as they see it in the information more to take headlines and attention away from their losses on the battle field. but it also particularly said that the murderers in question here will not go unpunished. they must be destroyed. and he specifically referred to the political and military leader shift of the care of regime. but ukraine, which leaves open the possibility that the russian government may finally start to begin targeting. what they have referred to is decision making centers in ukraine, which they have long suggested they might, but have not done so thus far. and why is tha

security council. if the will of a security council should be thwarted in this manner, then immediate action would be appropriate in the general assembly of the united nationswhere no soviet veto exists. in the meantime, neither the united states nor any other nation which is committed to world peace and stability, can continue to do business as usual with the soviet union. i have already recalled the united states ambassador from moscow go back to washington. he's working with me and with my other senior advisors in an immediate and comprehensive evaluation of the whole range of our relations with the soviet union. the successful negotiation of the salt 2 treaty has been a major goal and a major achievement of this administration. and we americans, the people of the soviet union, and indeed the entire world, will benefit from the successful control of strategic nuclear weapons through the implementation of this carefully negotiated treaty. however, because of the soviet aggression, i have asked the united states senate to defer further consideration of the treaty, so that the congress and i can assess soviet actions and intentions, and devote our primary a

the united states has -- this national security council both has said in shorter words, bigger isn't necessarily better in terms of a nuclear arsenal and protecting deterrence but recognizing increasingly in order to maintain deterrence they believe we may need to expand our nuclear arsenal with great cost and also with great care. the national security council has played a key role in defining our nuclear strategy the last few years and we're honored and delighted to have john here for the address and followed by a panel discussion how the administration sees it as the administration winds down. john, welcome. [applause] john: hey, everybody. i should start off by apologizing for being a few minutes late. one of the things i will not miss when i finally do leave the white house will be the fact my schedule is so subject to other forces beyond my control. but it's great to be here with all of you. i really want to say before i start, a big thank you to dan, both for the kind words, for the advice and wisdom you have lobbed over the transum over this administration and keeping us on c

the new york times subsequently reported that senior national security council officials urged the intelligence community to collect additional information to the extent possible on the origin and cause of the wuhan pandemic. the new york times, another media outlets somehow suggested that was inappropriate. is it inappropriate for the president to set collection priorities on what he thinks is urgent national questions and u.s. dni to drive those priorities as best you can given the fact that our intelligence officers are able to gather? >> that would be appropriate. >> i think that would be completely and totally appropriate. that's exactly what we would expect the cabinet or the president and his senior national security cabinet members to do. one final question i have, i've heard a lot of questions about this on both sides today. you're obl a politician right now, you've got an r after your name and some people raised the question whether you can separate politics from intelligence. we've discussed in the past that this has been done successfully at times, if you look at someone like leon p

the united nations security council has abandoned its commitment to peace. you are a powerful nation with a permanent member and you have the right to veto, you can do almost anything. the security council will not condemn you. i think the united states has sent armed troops to about 30 countries to fight under the approval of the united nations since the second world war. other countries can do the same thing, if they are powerful enough. i wrote an op-ed for the "new york times" two years ago that showed the u.s. is now violating 10 of the 30 paragraphs in the universal declaration of human rights. a lot of those related to the discrimination against women, supposed to be equal, not just blacks being equal to whites and so forth. i think we have a long way to go still. we need to reassess the basic purpose of the united nations to be about peace, not conflict to resolve issues, and recommit ourselves to the basic principles of human rights. and i would urge all of you to just google universal declaration of human rights. if you have a couple of minutes, ju

senator marco rubio, as the counselor of the state department, and michael anton, former national security councilsman, will serve as director of policy planning. all three would serve under trump's nomination for secretary of state marco rubio, and that would vacate a senate seat in florida. lara trump has been floated for that job. >> she has indeed. all right. thanks very much. check futures please. it's monday morning, 13 or 20 odd minutes to go before we get to the opening bell. dow down 40. nasdaq. i'm sorry. dow. dow down. up 40. nasdaq is down 38. not much change jacob sonenshine joins me this morning. jacob. can you see anything on the horizon that would really kill this rally? >> no. not really. i think for the rest of december, we've broken out to new highs. i said this a few days ago. right. so i think the santa rally is on into next year. the main catalyst from a macro standpoint, in terms of the broader market trading as one, are going to be the types of policies that we get from the trump administration. the thing into 2025 that i do think could kill the rally would be tariffs. we'r

maintain serious new regime could threaten its security. stevens assignments from the us national security council during the clinton and a bomber administration. we austin, whether the new rotors in damascus oppose the great strides rates or threats to israel than the former regime of partial last. i don't really think so. certainly not now where the, you know, situation where they lacked the weapons that were once in syria. i think, you know, i shut uh, you know, the guy who is, who is now running uh, syria on behalf of h t. s. a i a to her action is, is quite right when he says that the syrian people can sustain another war. i mean, they've had it and they're certainly not going to go to war against israel at this, at this stage on the other hand is really so look at the very weak as of the new regime and they ask themselves, well, suppose there are splinter groups, a more radical jo, hottest or as long as to who really want to take on israel and, and inflict some damage on it, or dr. draws really blood. and that's they have to, they have to take that view i, i would have thought. so what they'

the least as a theater is ruled by the united nations security council and the united states by the way and opposition groups who are not list. and i, if people are pushing on this for the last couple of weeks, and we are saying that they repeatedly let me get back to what has been going on in terms of the diplomacy. i understand that you had a meeting with your took ish underwriting and colleagues here in doha. have you reached any agreements? yeah, we is throwing the 33 to cherry photo integrity, 7. see, and you need to of this year and there are 3 public records for immediate and of course style activities. we stated all of us that we want the resolution $2254.00 to be fully implemented. and for this purpose, called for the dialogue between the government and digital, the position is provided in the resolution. the main thing is not is not to say something new. the main thing is implement every single the which you sign up. but the resolution 2254 which you it was of, of the security council resolution for administer level. remember in 2015 and you were the in russia seats that talks

i can tell you secretary blinken will be chairing a session of united nations security council on thursday in new york to continue to draw attention to the crisis in sudan but also to push for way to resolve it. as you know we've been pushing for some time for a ceasefire, and the parties have been willing to agree to that at various times one party or the other was somewhat more for link but ultimately both sides have refused to agree to a ceasefire that would end that conflict. we continue to push for broader humanitarian aid. short of getting a ceasefire that can get us on about to ending the conflict we believe the most important thing you could do is a leash tied to alleviate the suffering of people on the ground. you have seen us low millions and millions of dollars into sudan and will continue to get and will have more to make in that regard and continue to work with the donors around the world to try to remove humidity processes into the people who are suffering from this conflict that they did not start but they are the ongoing victims of. with that, wrap for the day. thanks every

now, that's had come with respect united nations security council we will continue to look at every resolution the comes before the united nations security council and judge whether voting yes voting no boating abstaining is an interest of the united states and will make a judgment based on that and nothing else. >> last question. [inaudible] >> i don't have any to announce. i think you know secretary blinken is leaving tonight. he won't be you. the remainder of the week. i don't know whether his meeting with other fish at the state department. with that i'm late for a meeting. got to wrap thanks, everyone. >> and live now to discussion with republican congressman joe wilson, chair of the house foreign affairs subcommittee on the middle east. this is hosted by the hudson institute. we joined in progress life hero c-span2. >> and then you add to that marco rubio secretary of state, how incredible and then really thrilled with elise stefanik as the u.n. ambassador, and mike waltz security advisor. a team is coming in place that understands peace through strength. the rebels and northwest syria,

you've heard national security council say it as well. jake sullivan was asked this question, the president's national security adviser, made the same comment. it's not unusual. for, when there's a president-elect, for heads of state, foreign leaders, to want to have that conversation with the president-elect. so i'll just leave that there. reporter: why isn't the president of the united states going to go to the reopening of notre dame deparis? karine: the first lady is attending as part of her larger travel swing to italy, u.a.e. she'll be representing the administration. they were both invited to be there. for the reopening of the notre dame. the president had a scheduling conflict which is why he was not able to attend. any specifics on the first lady's trip and what that's going to look like, i certainly would refer you to the first lady's office. reporter: the president was invited? karine: yes. there were scheduling conflicts which is why he could not attend. the first lady is there. she's very proud she's there representing us and

from there, he left to donald trump's national security council in the white house and developed a reputation for intense, some would say dangerous, devotion to donald trump. so worrying, that high-ranking officials in donald trump's first administration threatened to resign when trump try to promote him into the upper echelons of the intelligence community. today, without the quote, adult in the room from the last administration, trump is trying to promote him again, this time, to head of the fbi. the very bureau he has decried as being embedded with deep state traders. >> the fbi's footprint has gotten so freaking big and the biggest problem the fbi has had has come out of its intel, i would shut down the fbi hoover building, on day one and reopening the next day, as a museum of the deep state. christopher wray can go to congress and say domestic terrorism prosecutions are on the rise, and he can say, him and garland can say we've got 1000 people under investigation for this insurrection. this insurrection nobody was ever charged for but it's a political narrative added stuff to defeat, it

in your best estimates, as you were director at the national security council, how does that play outvery tenuous. it's very risky. it's almost impossible to say how it plays out. the rebel group, and i want to talk about the rebel group for a second. this is -- it's called hayat tahrir al sham. they control the top northwest or until recently the top northwest of syria. they are also designated by the united states and critically the united nations as a terrorist group. that means it's sanctioned by every member of the united nations. so, they don't have a lot of friends. they used to be tied to al qaeda. since then they disavowed global terrorism and cut ties with al qaeda. that doesn't mean they're not a conservative, if not extreme islamist militia. they brokered this deal, as you mentioned, with the existing prime minister of syria to work together to allegedly pursue a peaceful transition of power, to hold elections in nine months and so on. but those are extremely aspirational goals. this is not a group that governs -- that is exactly the beacon of democracy. if you look at how

it sounds like, when i listen to the tice family, that the national security council is not following what the president is asking or the president is stating. and so what they're asking, really, is that the rest of the government get in line with the president. now, we're going to hear in a few minutes about some excellent work that was done by an n.g.o. and is still being done and this was work that was not thwarted or stymied by the government. this was innovation that was allowed to go forward. we have lots of examples of other kinds of innovation in this state that were stopped by the government. a lawyer who's an expert in sanctions, really, who's a friend of the tice's, took on a case and handled it expertly to try to get sanctions released for an individual that would have meaning to leadership in syria, but was not a blood relative and not a business associate and was cleared by the f.b.i. and the u.k. government, and that case was filed beautifully and it was stopped by the government. and there aren't answers about why it won't proceed. and so when the tices are asking, wha

the tice family held talks with the state department, the national security council and national securityek. >> now to the east bay, where police in antioch say two men are dead after a shootout at a parking lot. it happened around 1030 last night outside delta bowl. police say the shooting began when a man approached another man who was sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle, preparing to leave. both fired shots. one of them died at the scene, the other was taken to the hospital where he later died. police have not released their names and a motive remains unknown. at this time. both men were in their mid 30s. police in hayward are investigating a shooting that left one man dead. officers say they found the victim with gunshot wounds around 1145 last night. right behind an industrial complex on road. the man was treated byot paramedics and was taken to the hospital, where he later died. police have not named the victim and no arrests have been made. anyone with information about the case is asked to contact hayward police. >> in san francisco, jury deliberations are scheduled to resum

i worked at the national security council before, i know how the director of national intelligence is in the oval office with the president every day giving the president the daily brief. if you want me if i feel tulsi gabbard can do that with our nation's interest at stake here, i have deep, deep concerns about that. >> and i recognize you're being reticent saying anything, because tomorrow you'll be a member of senate and the next congress you will be voting on all of these people that donald trump has selected for cabinet appointments. i'm going to play something else from kristen's interview with donald trump. this is what he had to say about birthright citizenship. watch this. >> do you promise to end birthright citizenship, is that still your plan? >> absolutely. if we can, through executive action. i was going to do it through executive action, but we had to fix covid first. we have to end it. >> as i mentioned in the inthrow, you will be the first korean american to serve in the u.s. senate. you are the son of korean immigrants. how does it make you feel an incoming president

he's a seniorfellow at the council on foreign relations and a former us national security council official essentially vehemently disagrees with letting ukraine use long—range american missiles against russia. what do you make of those comments by donald trump?— by donald trump? well, you know, i think _ by donald trump? well, you know, i think what _ by donald trump? well, you know, i think what trump i by donald trump? well, you know, i think what trump is | know, i think what trump is responding to here is the tit—for—tat escalation that we've seen over the course of the last couple of years. and in general, every time the united states has upped the anti—by giving ukraine a new weapon systems or peru long—range strikes, the russians have retaliated —— upped the ante. the united states and its allies are in a somewhat awkward position here in the sense that in the end of the day, russia cares more about ukraine than the west does. and that's why every time we escalate, they escalate and then go one step further and so, there is a logic to trump's position that is, hey, let's not continu

i'm joined now by hagar chemali, former director for syria and lebanon in the national security councilny thanks for your time on the programme. syria's de facto leader says international sanctions against a masochist must be lifted, do you see that happening? t must be lifted, do you see that happening?— happening? i don't see it happening _ happening? i don't see it happening until- happening? i don't see it happening until his - happening? i don't see it| happening until his words happening? i don't see it - happening until his words are backed by actions. he is saying all the right things he has promised minorities will be protected, promised to work with other partners to hold elections, he says he wants peaceful international relations he is saying all the right things but as we know he has a chequered past as a former al-qaeda leader and while he has ties to al-qaeda he governed the north—west corner of syria just up until last week, and a conservative, radical repressive and slimmest based off and so we have two have some time to see if his actions will be backed up by those wor

a member of reagan's national security council staff and a major soviet scholar cogently explained the audience problem that reagan faced in europe as the english elite regard reagan as a dangerous simpleton. the fear of nuclear war was for the united states, as well. michael barron noted in "the washington post" and a great many americans and europeans believe reagan is significantly more likely than his predecessors to get us into a nuclear war. a washington post poll found that by a three-to-one margin american people supported a nuclear freeze. that would not have reduced nuclear weapons, but would have frozen them where they were and it might sound like a good idea, but reagan's whole approach was to build up to create leverage for re-alarm productions. so reagan faced a really big problem in the united states. the washington post/abc poll, the same poll that found that the significant portion of the american public has become increasingly anxious over the pros pekts prospects of a nuclear washgs the nuclear arsenal and frustrated between the two super powers. an awful lot of peop
