brett schaefer, what do you think the proper role of the world health organization during a pandemic,s pandemic in particular, should be? guest: well, the world health organization is supposed to be our early warning system for these sorts of things. it's supposed to track potential pandemics. it's supposed to launch and send teams of experts into the countries to take a look at the situation directly, to assess the threat that the disease poses to the international community. and then work with other member states to arrest and control that threat if necessary. in this case, the world health organization wasn't even able to send an expert team into china until mid february because the chinese government wouldn't let them. instead of calling the chinese government to account for that lack of cooperation, lack of transparency, they instead, like i said, praised china for its transparency, they praised china for taking unprecedented steps in controlling this outbreak, all of which we know now to be untrue and unwarranted. host: the headline in financial times, trump condemned for w.h.o.

host: brett schaefer is our guest.e's an international regulatory affairs fellow at the heritage foundation and we're talking about the role of the world health organization and the president's announcement on defunding that organization, withholding funding from that organization. welcome your phone calls an comments, 202-748-8000 is the number to call for eastern and central time zones. 202-748-8001, mountain and pacific. brett schaefer, i want to show you a tweet or read a tweet from president trump. this is less than two months ago. he said that the coronavirus is very much under control in the u.s.a. we are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. c.d.c. and world health have been working hard, very hard and very smart. what went wrong do you think? you talked about the issue with the information from taiwan. but w.h.o. seemed to fall out of favor quickly with the president. guest: i think we're sort of dealing with the ramifications of both the world health organization's incredulousness and china's l

yes yes yes yes and i'd like to give i'd like to give let me come to schaefer because she's so exhausted her hands are on her head i'm about to give up because the thing is this rate so the context is when we when i hear people talk about they don't have a problem with having the colonised i question how deep are you in this neocolonial struggle that you've actually embraced your abuser and made them feel made her feel that she was right for doing what they did to you tony is saying that the facts can't be changed that the world order at the time was as it was the world order was white people stealing from black africans that was the word order i think sometimes when we speak very carelessly and very casually about very fundamental things that of what's in the mess that we are and i really don't appreciate it ok tony do you agree with the charge that he was so deeply neo colonized yourself that you don't see why your utterances could have been that is absolute bollocks. that is. because we educated in this way yet it's like those people who fail in life and keep talking about who their f

happened so the worst is still to blame but we reproduce what they did but is it fair let me ask schaefer here is it fair to sort of lump the whole western world into you know their white savior as they're trying to come and save us we don't need their help is there room for collaboration or is it just going to be this bipolar dialogue. well i think i think room for collaboration that existed or that has assumed that have been assumed to exist has existed in their white terms so even as we collaborate we are collaborating within their own structures within their own arguments within their own engagement within their own requirements very white people have always wanted to enforce and to carry forward their whiteness and their supremest we should be able to enforce and carry forward our blackness our black supremacy but it's never going to happen because we don't have the leadership that is capable to emagine our own governance and engage in and out of the frame that is mostly a colonial but is necessary to lose out this way to sentiment this is again we are playing here and sometimes i ge

we'll have to get you information about professional organizations like schaefer. panel rooms are full like this every june when that organization meets. what we're talking about today is the history of u.s./iran relations. that's our theme. and this bi-national relationship as with most, history is a matter of perspective, how one defines it. to some we need to understand why thomas jefferson had books about cyrus the great in his library. to others we might need to study the arrival of american missionaries in iran in the 1830s and study the work and education and public health that they continue to do through the mid-20th century. some would contend this early history was displaced by the official u.s. presence in iran which arguably began during the second world war and came in the form of tens of thousands of troops. others would point to dates like 1953 when an anglo american coup overthrew a democratically elected government of iran at the height of the cold war. still others are interested in the more contemporary past that began in 1979. it was in that yea
