u.s. national security experts in washington d.c.that don't think that president donald trump and his administration even have an accurate comprehensive strategy towards the middle east there are many vacancies still in the state department and the department of defense and keep positions that of people who are experts on middle east policy and so again it seems just very consistently with donald trump that he's prioritizing his domestic political interests over the u.s. national security interests in terms of the broader conflicts between the israelis and the palestinians it might be actually better or for the palestinian people that now it's so blatantly biased by the united states that it forces the rest of the international community specifically like european union and the organization of islamic countries to play more of a leadership role in mitigating the conflict because we all know for the last more than sixty years the united states has had a monopoly on the peace process and we're not able to really point to any significan

u.s. national security so anything dealing with counter terrorism is likely to get a lot more support than simply humanitarian assistance that isn't directly related to u.s. national security or frankly even issues that seem to be predominantly in trouble to a country rather than ones you know involving international relations those are the kinds of things that the american public isn't as supportive of throwing money around and when you recall that president trump paned to a large extent when it came to foreign policy well against nation building and secretary of state you are soon has recently we expressed this with respect to iraq and so we're going to continue to see friction between the rocky government asking for more money and i think washington d.c. being reluctant to provide it and i think that i d.c. has said essentially look we're not going to rebuild your country but you should look to do a sunni go countries look to iran are you need to find money elsewhere we will provide you know or you know a few hundred million dollars but that isn't going to be enough it's interesting you

u.s. national security interests. chinese investment has an appropriately high priority for close scrutiny because china seeks to compete strategically against the united states in multiple spheres. military, diplomatic, and economic. using all elements of the state, including state-owned enterprises in that competition. current legislation provides significant authority to block troublesome chinese acquisitions. as you noted, mr. chairman, the first acquisition unwound by a president was under george h.w. bush in 1990. the acquisition of threecom did not proceed under george w. bush, and president trump block ed the semi-conductor by a chinese group. as you consider new legislation, i would be sure to address actual gaps in the authority. there is particular concern that chinese companies may be using creative legal structures to conclude deals short of ownership and control that could nonetheless impair u.s. national security. i believe this is a very valid area for stricter scrutiny in the united states. i would be

u.s. national interest is in having a military presence in qatar when you also have a naval base in bahrain and several military bases in saudi arabia. yeah well the u.s. national security interest is to have a constellation of bases in every country and it's important remember that the headquarters in qatar moved from saudi arabia in two thousand and three so i have argued that it would be in our interest to establish another base in saudi arabia if we can do that in a manner that is consistent with saudi internal security. but that doesn't mean that we have to diminish the others we should have a a broad array of bases and quite frankly if you know the emirate is where the saudis want to build a facility you know we should be in a position where we can move because if you have all your eggs in one basket then you're you're hostage to political turmoil or you could have want to tack and then you lose all your capabilities so it doesn't surprise me that i was going to be much supplementary question about having all your eggs in the same basket we had a speaker from a former state department

u.s. national debt get? yeah. of course, nobody knows. and debt optimists will point to places like great britain, which hit 250% of its gdp. the british had something akin to our fiscal constitution. they held the line on deficits and the debt to gdp ratio came down considerably during that 100 years. that is how they were able to run it up again during world war i and world war ii. it is not just the size of it. are there breaks in place that can keep us from sliding more and more? and as bill white writes, and i rely on him because he is a politician and he studied the current environment in details. if he is right, the fiscal constitution is dead, and there is no sign of it being revived. this was things like bush ii funding the iraq war with a series of appropriations. so, rather than percentage, i am more concerned, can we stop it? when will we do so? and i don't see a stop in sight.
