to the obama administration and i will say it we modeled our part of the transition out onan that. we wanted our instruction from the president. he won exactly the same. but in eight relate race if you're handing the baton somebody has to take it. >> there has to be an interest you can have all the briefing materials in the world with thee incoming team does not wantt thm and sort the meetings it doesn't do any good. i think we saw that in the transition from but it did not go so well. it'ss crucially important. >> from the inside in terms of the secondm, term, apart from doing things by executive action the president took a real interest in laying a foundation for the future he knew he was not going to get legislation controversy will policy through congress. but he was determined the proposals he put for the policy proposals he put for should start to socialize ideas we would want too advance so somebody else coming to them as proposed in the obama administration it was not at academicth exercise there's a lt of things t

in the sense of what were the main purposes of foreign policy under the obama administration? what do they want to achieve? how do they want to achieve them? and i guess one of the questions i have is, was an obama doctrine. can we define it? and if we can define how is it consistent with traditional ideas in u.s. foreign and how did how did it diverge from some of those ideas. sure, i'll i'll start on that. there's a question that got asked a lot by peter and others when i was in white house and i actually always resisted it. and you and i are genuine. you know, i think maybe it's my english major background, your doctrine suggests a kind of criteria that can be applied across the board. and actually, if you think about, you know, there is not many doctrines that that hold up, you know, the monroe doctrine, the doctrine or really the two and the last, i think clearly articulated doctrine by president was was george bush in 2002. and that was about preventing nations from getting weapons of mass destruction. and and setting aside iraq. it wasn't uniformly applied. right, becaus

this is a, like i said, a really important panel, foreign policy for the obama administration was challenging and in so many different ways. if we think about president obama entering office, he faced multiple challenges some of which provost reardon mentioned. two wars, war in iraq not going well, and the other war worse. and the potential for nuclear weapons. sorry about that. the rise of china as an economic competitor clearly on the horizon at this point in time. fractured relations with many traditional u.s. allies that had been hurt by the iraq war and other things. and then on top of this, an economic recession that threatens the stability not just of the u.s. economy, but of the global economy so it was almost overwhelming in some ways, the number of challenges that the obama administration had coming in. so today we're going to try to examine some of the priorities and choices over the course of the obama administration in the context of the many challenges, but also maybe suggest these challenges presented some opportunities for the obama administration to do some new things in fore

to the obama administration. and i will say that we modeled our part of the transition out on that. we wanted our instructions from the president. we wanted. exactly. you wanted it exactly the same but in a relay race, if your handing the baton somebody has to take it yeah. there has to be an interest it and you can have all the briefing materials in the world but if the incoming team doesn't want them they or the meetings it doesn't do any good and i think we saw that in the transition from and it didn't go so well you know and so it crucially important i would just say from the inside terms of the second term, a apart from kind of doing things by executive action, the president took a real interest in laying foundation for the future. he knew he wasn't to get legislation on controversy racial social policy, congress, but he was determined that the budget proposals he put forward, the policy proposals he put forward should start to socialize ideas that we would want to advance so that somebody else coming to th

that is something that we learned in the years of the obama administration. for peace, we had real proposals developed, he was not serious about peace. frankly, i think he's lost the confidence of the israeli people. largely because his whole message was, i may not be delivering, peacetime delivering security. >> right. and now the palestinian people don't feel as though that payoff. >> thank you for analysis as full-time. it is really necessary. this is a complicated issue, for those who think it is not, it just is. ben rhodes is the former deputy national security adviser during the obama administration, he is the co-host of pod save the world, a podcast an msnbc political contributor. that does it for me, thank you for watching, catch me back here next saturday and sunday morning from 10 am to noon eastern. and on wednesday night, be sure to tune in for msnbc's coverage after the third republican debate. rachel maddow leads our coverage and analysis of the events starting at ten pm eastern. up, next my friend jen psaki is joined by the former georgia candi

it is obvious between the obama administration, the prime minister of israel, who seems to be richer day by day. obama's anger was not hidden from anyone. this period of time. they considered this action to be almost equal to the type of swearing and coup and khashmini. netanyahu did something that no one in the world does. he invited himself to america . there was no such thing. yes. he invited himself to america to speak in the us senate. obama does not like benjamin netanyahu at all and it was clear that he is an enemy there was an undeniable difference between obama and netanyahu. this act was a direct attack on obama's foreign policy legacy. that situation was a turning point in the history of american diplomacy. because when netanyahu was speaking before the us congress, he received 26 standing ovations from the representatives. this was not because netanyahu is an eloquent orator, but because representatives from aipac played a key role there, and for their pleasure, the representatives of the american congress had to jump up and clap their hands. netanyahu has achieved great

in the obama administration for. >> i see a lot of obama administration is obama himself waited a longour, five days before he put out a short statement when israel was attacked horribly on october 70 since put out another statement basically states what you have set and said and of course he cs thomas freedman and ben rhodes his former national security advisor and fiction writer. frieden and ben and all these people buy into the belief israel needs to be weaker to be stronger. assists one of the reasons they hate donald trump and benjamin netanyahu have endlessly trash them despite that fact we have abraham's accords and peace breaking out under both of those administration? what sets exactly right. trump had the middle east right he understood the united states should put together a coalition of allies dedicated to weakening and eroding conventional military power which is a growing and preventing them from getting a nuclear weapon. the abraham accords as understood by trump was part of the system of creating an alliance against iran. the biden administration was pushing saudi at no

the last year of the obama administration, they're terms that just add to the stigma and don't help anyone. so that change has slowly started to occur, and i really think it's speeding up with more and more people coming forward and saying, i am in recovery from addiction, recovery is possible. host: as the place to go to to make changes on this issue, why did you leave the office of national drug control policy? guest: i was there for a year. that was my -- you know, i was acting director. the really great thing about this biden administration has put in an m.d., a doctor for the first time as director of that office. so our drug czar is someone who comes from a public health background, who understands and treats addiction. so he's perfectly situated to address the issue nationally. host: and what are those treatments that we are discovering that we're trying to get more into the pipeline? guest: for opioid use disorder, there are three f.d.a.-approved medications. there's two with the most research, science-based that reduce overdose deaths and help people enter recovery. for alcohol us

the obvious difference between the obama administration and the prime minister of israel is that it seems more and more. obama's anger was not hidden from anyone. this period of time is the peak of the white house. in my opinion, they considered this action almost equal to the type of swearing and coup and angry netanyahu did something that no one in the world does , he invited himself to america , there was no such thing. yes, he invited himself to america. he went to the us senate and gave a speech tick obama did not like benjamin netanyahu at all and it was clear that there was an undeniable enmity between obama and netanyahu. this act was a direct attack on obama's foreign policy legacy. that situation was a turning point in the history of american diplomacy. because when netanyahu gave a speech in front of the us congress , he received a standing ovation from the representatives. this was not because netanyahu is an eloquent orator, but because representatives from aipac played a key role there, and the representatives of the us congress had to jump over their heads to please them. a

same people in the problem it is the same people including some who were pro-iranian and the obama administrationd a lot of negotiating. the back of the biden administration inseam positions. if you see the state department couple of days ago criticizing israel, criticizing israeli atrocities, you know where they stand they've long since forgotten about what hamas is done to israel that was only done a month ago. stuart: president biden meets xi jinping in san francisco on wednesday listen to what jake sullivan said ahead of the meeting. roll tape. >> president biden is trying to manage the competition responsibly so it doesn't tip over into conflict and is looking for areas where we can work together in our mutual interest to do so the chinese have basically severed those communication links, president biden would like to reestablish them and he will look to the summit as an opportunity to try to advance the ball on that. >> i'm going to throw out my opinion which i been using all day long, i worry the president biden will make concessions to china and return for easy promises on the climate, wh

it was generally understood at the time this was early in the obama administration, that judging that the fire department did here was basically the same argument that people were having aboutt obama care. can is there a collective obligation to protect people? i wrote a book about the obama care litigation and i concluded after learning about it that the attack was driven by philosophy libertarianism and everybody is on their own and only legitimate function of the state is to protect people's person and property from violence and that's it. there was more about libertarianism and i discovered writing about the book that nobody had written a good account off libertarianism as a political philosophy, and that's what it is.ba basically in is something that most americans believe and there's other places where people don't believe it and the governments in russia and china and iran don't believe it. minimize the power of the state and make libertarianism smaller. that's a bad i can't tell jim jordan for making people genuinely free.e. people aren't genuinely free if they are vulnerable

park department of defense us of the carted ministration come the clinton administration the obama administration cut back on the bones andf muscles of the defee department the maintenance in the training. and then when the next republican administration gets in the democrats insist on increasing the spending on social problem exactly equals the amount of money required to get the department of defense back to the point where it is useful. that has added a huge amount of money to the spending. we need to d link of those two and only spent on the things our constitution requires and then add onto the extras. >> okay we will leave it there. >> i agree with the caller, thank you for that point it does not make sense to tight defense and non-defense spending the obama administration particularly guilty of this that every 1 dollar increase of defense needs to be matched by 1 dollar increase on non-defense make a lot of non-defense spending i would argue are for things that should be done any state, local or private level they don't need to be involved with to begin with. there is no reason to link tho

utah worked really hard, the first time during the obama administration for the first time in history we signed an agreement with the park service to keep our parks open, we paid, i think, we ended up paying a million dollars for that. congress was very gracious in not reimbursing for that even though we still took receipts and people paid to get in. we have been very proactive in working with the parks and other states are joining as well where we are having just to preface this and hurry and catch up. we are having great conversations now but i would like to talk the about how that uncertainty impacts you all. it's probably a better time, i guess, if there is such a thing than six weeks ago, fewer visitors, colder weather, right, but still deeply problematic i'm assuming. >> well, i will speak for yellowstone. i think to your point november is the lightest visitation that we have. i think we get a million a month in the summer visitors, we get 20,000 in november. 90% to have mileage is closed as we prepare for winter season. the 50 miles that is open we have to keep open because it'

neighbors but watched his house burned down because it was generally understood at the time in the obama administration that judging with the fire department did here was the same argument people were having aboute obamacare is there a collective obligation to protect people from undeserved misfortunes, firere in your house is one and disease is another. i wroteac a book about the obamacare litigation that followed and i concluded after learning about it that the attack on obamacare was driven by a philosophy called libertarianism which meant everybody is on their own and the only legitimate function is to protect people, persons and property from violence and that's it so i wrote that book and after i finished it i discovered it when i was writing that book that nobody had written a good account the looks libertarianism and that's what it is an account of what the state ought to do and it has two components, one is controversial in the united states and elsewhere that people should be free to live their lives as they like. this is something mostpe americs believe. the governmentsch of russia and china

the first time during the obama administration we covet for the first time in history, signed in agreemente park service keep our parks open. i think we ended up paying abous with the administration to make this happen until the week before that was hurry and catch up.re we are having great conversations now. i would like to talk about how that insurgency impacts you all. probably a better time if there is such a thing then six weeks ago fewer visitors, colder weather. but still deeply problematic i am assuming big excel speak for it yellowstone, thank you for that governor. to your points, november is the lightestet visitation we have. we have a million a month in the summer visitors we get about 20000 in november. 90% of parks mileage is close in november as we prepare for the winter season. the 50 miles that is open we have to keep open anyway that is a vital and only way in and out for cook city, montana. we have been given the tools of conversations within the law for a variety of different ways we can partner. we have done that in the past we can w navigate it. the one thing i will p

we just got this, 116 biden and obama administration campaign official showing their support to biden's. bret baer with us this morning, looks to me like biden's israel policy has split the democrats and the split is getting worse. am i right? >> you are right. there's a real sense the democratic party is splitting on this issue. people on capitol hill are being very vocal about that, the squad and others but inside the democratic party there is this worry about whether the jewish democratic voter really feels president biden has their back across the board and we see today this massive rally in washington, the president is not speaking they are, speaker johnson is speaking there which is interesting. a missed opportunity. stuart: you could say vice president kamala harris should be there to show support for israel but politically she doesn't want to go. >> that is evidence that the democratic party is truly split on how this is going to happen. stuart: it is important we've got these open letters, the demonstration on the capitol steps earlier today from people who work for congresspeo

in the sense that i had doubts about the growing hostility for, and more specifically, the obama administrationno doubt that president obama himself, that he was a man , let’s say, cold-blooded, reasonable, and, in general, not inclined to get involved in military conflicts unless fundamental american interests required it, so i personally not that i believe the obama administration, but i did not imagine that they would be ready to change the regime in ukraine, this was a big lesson for many of us, in moscow, in washington, your opinion, general buzhinsky, you know, speaking about this maidan , a tragic page in the history of ukraine, and you understand that the most interesting thing is that yanukovych, being, after all , a true, so to speak, ukrainian, chairs, we have a lot of sayings, there about calves that suckle two queens, and there about the chairs you can sit on, he wanted to say so, just drag out this process and at the same time receive, so to speak, billions from russia , but also from the european union, in my opinion, the west probably didn’t like it, so to speak, the americans s

>> the fundamental problem was similar to the obama administration, the demonstration of american powerto escalate so that they are afraid of escalation so they are afraid of devastating american power, and threatening american power because iran will escalate and many of us think the opposite and history of the islamic republic's first forum when an american president demonstrates the ability to use military force and other tools of american power the iranians backed down because they fear nothing more than the end of the regime. the only power that could bring down the regime is the united states of america so it is almost like a theological debate about the existence of god in the administration. you amass their evidence and at the end of the day you walk out of the white house frustrated because they are not willing to fundamentally change the iran policy. paul: thank you. incisive as always. still had five republican president a locals square off in miami as the debate rages over aid to israel and ukraine. the panel on the emerging republican fault line on foreign policy next. ♪ ♪

pete: i don't know the answer to your question and there was an obsession with the obama administrationh iran and there's a very naive belief that engagement and working with them over time is the path and they sell us that that's the path to prevent ago bomb, which is just absolutely foolish. makes to sense. if you don't want a bomb, they say iran can't have a bomb, they all said it. trump said it and meant it. will: how can anyone look at current state of affairs in the world and say it would be a good idea for iran to have a bomb. regardless of political perspective in the united states, so it's got to be naivivity. pete: or a different alliance of inspiring iran in the region and islam is a small fraction of the middle east and 10-15% of the middle southeast betting on that thatwith the abraham accords and israel and sueny countries have been willing to do and death to israel. rachel: let's not sanction them. will: take a look at video speaking of chance and this video provided by muckraker. it's of migrants in mexico headed towards the united states in a caravan from november 8 and

and chinese officials have met to talk about nuclear weapons and arms control since the obama administrationfirst time in american history, we'll have to deal with two nuclear armed powers, both russia and china with nuclear arsenals equivalent to our own. my expectations are pretty low we're going to accomplish anything, but at least china is willing to talk, and that's an improvement over where they've been in recent years. reporter: matthew is@leeanne tick council and resently coauthored congressional report on the review of u.s. nuclear strategy released last month. chinas has more than 500 operational nuclear warheads and the pentagon predicts till field more than 1,000 warheads by 2030 and 1500 by 2035. currently limited by the new start treaty, the u.s. and russia each have 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads. china is not a c signatory and russia will no longer comply with the treat seizure disorders. the u.s. has about -- treaty. the u.s. has about 3700 warheads and russia has about 4,490 according to federation of american scientists and today's talks are led by the state department's

. >> is pretty clear donald trump put iran i brought in a box of e obama administration was unwillingngness to do. the obama administration empowered iran in a lot of ways when truck came into office he promised undo some of that. they pulled the u.s. of the jcpoa. he refused to unfreeze the iranian assets being held in south korea. biden allowed them to access that money. he made moves that were seen as appeasement to try to coax and run them back into the nuclear deal. something that was clearly not going to happen. you have seen in the middle east and that has been destabilizing. i think even a casual observer of those things can see the middle east is a lot less stable now under president biden was under trump in the same can be said about regions all across the world including europe, russia, ukraine, and chided the average voter can see things were more stable under trump progress israel isn't paying the price. sarah bedford from the washington examiner thank you. >> thank you. jon: some presidential hopefuls or spend the holiday week and talking turkey with voters in key states

so in the second year of the obama administration we took this issue on.dertake a study, a ten-month study of this issue, and i got, as they say in the pentagon volunteer cochair of this working group along with general carter ham, and in retrospect, we realized that much of the opposition that repealed don't ask don't tell was based on a stereotype, a broad stereotype, and then of course there was this massive survey, which revealed that most service members in 2010 really didn't care about this law anymore, and we recommended that the law could be repealed, should be repealed, and i have to say that implementation of appeal went far smoother than we even predicted. it was frankly -- >> zoe, i want to -- >> sorry. >> i wanted to both of you to mention tom carpenter, zoe you mentioned, who was featured in the film. he was a captain in the u.s. marines. his partner was dishonorably discharged. his partner died of hiv, but tom went on to help fight against don't ask, don't tell. here's how he described the moment it was repealed. >> it was an unreal moment.

palestine and, and it's been for a long time, even if there was somewhat of a blip under the obama administration, this administration to bind ministration. specifically, why is it so reluctant to criticize israel? and i have to say that right now, it's probably because of the domestic political situation and how perilous president biden the situation grows every day. as the new york, sienna polls recently showed he's trailing even donald trump, who's before a judge on a defend, that's be bench making accused of all manner crimes, and yet is leading by and in the balls. so he's worried about his domestic situation. i've got news for president vide no, as the polls are developing, even as i'm reading them, his popularity is falling off even more because of his parent rock solid support for b. b. not to know whom i must say a lot of american jews even did test me and did it would appear that more americans are all criticising and are warming up to the policy and calls mr. wilkins. so let me ask you about next the yahoo and his plans for after the war and gaza. he said that he is, or i would assume
