he said that the united states state department would classify by that movement as anti semitic, and that it would make sure that no u.s. funding would go towards groups that supported it so on various fronts. it does seem that the trauma ministration is trying to make things difficult. one pick for an incoming biden ministration in this could well be one of those measures part of this trip. parts of these trips are being seen as particularly provocative. why is, that? well, as you said, he will be the 1st sitting u.s., secretary of state to visit an illegal settlement here in the occupied west bank. in fact, this settlement behind a syrian target now it was last year that there was a court case involving a winery based in this settlement in on the territory of beer a, in the occupied west bank palestinian land. and they wanted the winery to be able to sell their products in the you, as coming from israel, as opposed to being labeled as to simply produced in a settlement. they lost that court case and it was just a week or so after that, that made his declaration about the reversal o

what is relevant the state department, the united states state department is not giving vice president from foreign leaders. something they're supposed to do as part of the transition. the people in charge of the transition funds are withholding them. so joe biden is having to communicate with foreign leaders in not the normal way. when president obama was leaving president trump was afforded all of those privileges and he spoke with foreign leaders through the state department as is the norm. that seems to be what's relevant here. >> sandra: robby, as far as what happens when the biden team gets through the door, the washington times has a headline this morning. america first, on the rubs biden eyes obama officials, never trumpers for cabinet. what will we see eventually as far as the donald trump policies that had been put in place and what happens to them when biden walks through the door especially considering we're hearing word about elizabeth warren or bernie standers as far as cabinet members of joe biden? >> four years ago donald trump was elected to make a clean break with the

but what is this is the state department in the united states and the bishops and chop wood troubling issues globally. one of them is forced marriage. u.s. department of state views forced marriage as a human right to d.c. . and in the case of minus a foolish child of peace, if you are a u.s. citizen and the victim of a forced marriage as a sees, you got a whole lot of advice about what happens if you scrutinise overseas. meanwhile, at hime, this is a major issue. now, let me, let me bring in, let me bring in unicef because unicef is working on this as our guest. and this is how you frame the challenge. they have with chart knowledge in the u.s. units have cost, child marriage, a healthful practice, and a violation of child rights, and believes that marriage under the age of 18 should be prohibited in all circumstances. yet here in the united states, there's actually no federal law around child marriage. rather each individual state is responsible for setting their own requirements. this is why unicef usa is a member of the national coalition and child marriage working alongside and y

>> well, the united states state department would not recognize this election, if it took place in sudanpening in the united states where you have a completely in secure election and there are two aspects to this. there were basically the mail-in ballots on a scale no western nation has ever done before, and most of the countries that the left tells us they want to be like, bernie sanders says oh, you know, we don't, when we say socialism we don't mean venezuela, we mean scandanavia. well no scandanavian country would have an election like the one we've last seen, venezuela does, in fact, sidney powell has pointed out we're actually using the same voting machines now. mail-in ballots are generally not permitted in most european union countries because they tend towards corruption so at some point, these elections have to be cleaned up on a systemic basis. whether you can do that before the electoral college meets in december is a slightly trickier thing for the president's lawyer s. pete: what do you make of the legal strategy so far? are they pursuing, are they taking the right approach

there was a sense the state department had a sense the jews have suffered was so has everybody else we cannot single out the jews those organizations in the united statesand in britain so the jews have suffered more than any other group and they need special treatment the american state department and the united nations they said no. absolutely not they need to be treated like everyone else. and then to send a fact-finding in the was not invited and not a jew and then to come back with a report that we are treating the jews just as badly as the germans did but we are just not exterminating them. and then say to take care of it is inhumane and it is un-american and that eisenhower goes to war. >> you mentioned before the cold war aspect of this. could use a little bit more about the soviet interest? and from the east. that large numbers had escaped from the baltic nations from belarus and ukraine and then to throw it uniforms to find their way into the displaced persons camps. but that they know that to go to justice. when the cauldron of anti-communist and that they are dedicated and recalcitrant and anti-soviet. but then the soviets in the polls and t

united states, enemies of the united states. we think back to that time at the very beginning of the trump presidency where even russia said we don't know who to call at the state departmentystem has been so eviscerated from what it was before. that was their implication. so now you have this situation where diplomats, u.s. diplomats around the world are left hanging. they are the face and the voice of the white house of america of everything that america stands for, a beacon of democracy. its values, with all of these different governments, united states deiplomats are in the position where you have countries with questionable democracies who might be meddling and tainting their own elections of saying don't do that, that's not right, that's not democracy. yet these diplomats now are not being told how to move forward. damaging for the united states' image and reputation, hard for these diplomats. >> hard for these diplomats for sure, but world leaders clearly know what's happening. many have congratulated the president. they know the truth here. nice to see you, thank you. >>> president-elect joe biden expected to make remarks on the affordable care act, same day as the
