i did not know kissinger. kissinger would have said no, mr. president, that's too dangerous. got to try a gradual process, an incremental process. should not try to end the conflict because if you try to do that, you could blow it up. indeed, that's what we ended up doing. we made progress on the accords but we ended up trying to and the arab-israeli conflict in camp david in 2000 and we failed. in that failure, there was five years of conflict between the arabs and palestinians and thousands of people killed on both sides and the whole edifice of israeli-palestinian peace we had struggled for eight years to build was destroyed. since then, it has never been possible to put it back together again. that is the heart of diplomacy in the middle east that those who came after him including myself knew not what he was trying to do. ivo: it's it's interesting and the self reflection is apt. it takes courage to do that. also it takes the reality of what happened. this order versus peace and peace as a means towards order is a central tension in international relations theories and j

kissinger was. he did not have any experience and kissinger became dominated because of those particular circumstances. none of those things apply today. part of the reason for writing the book, although it is focused on the middle east is because i wanted to resurrect the kissinger approach. i felt there was a lot we could learn from it in an era when geopolitics is returning. competition between superpowers is dominating the international system again. ivo: i think you succeed in doing that. the irresponsibly -- the responsibility of not having to think strategically because we had the strength. figuring out how to manage the white house, the state department's's which kissinger was unique on, when we did it was for the first two years he was national security advisor and secretary of state. that is how conflict only happened in his head as opposed between institutions. it is a key part of it. let me go and ask another question. perhaps you have already hinted at it. what role did the cold war bac

i say that because those who came after kissinger knew not kissinger. it is the endgame, the end of the conflict. standing on the shoulders of kissinger in the work he had done work very well. it all the other places it turned out quite disastrously. that was a lesson kissinger recognized early on. americans are proud of these grand objectives, especially in the middle east. faith, democracy, regime change. power to change the world, reshape it in america's image. they were highly skeptical about -- he was conservative in doing so they would have a high risk of destabilizing the regional order. we only have to look at what happened with the effort to remove the power in iraq. things would come eventually in his view. only if the order could be maintained long enough to exhaust the arabs to make the ultimate concessions. when the arabs were actually ready. everything needed to be done gradually and incrementally. there is a risk in this method. kissinger m2 low -- aimed to cost you low. -- kissinger aimed too low. he missed the opportunity to bring the p

he was standing on kissinger shoulders --kissinger's shoulders. the effort was the exclusion of the soviet union, which, during the cold war, led to america's advantage. dr. daalder: as we think about russia trying to come back in to the middle east and the chinese doing the same thing, reading "master of the game" is one way in which future policymakers can hopefully avoid the mistakes of the past and learn for the future. martin, a terrific conversation. thank you so much for writing the book and spending time with us to talk about it. for those who want to delve deeper, and i urge you to do so, you can find a link to the book on our website. buy it, read it. it is a fantastic, wonderful read. thank you for being with us and all of you watching, thank you for joining us. dr. indyk: thank you. real pleasure to be with you always.

or was it and we kissinger? was it the other people around him? what was it that allowed him to succeed in a way that many in many ways of course carter succeeded in the continuation with the camp david agreements but since then and certainly since the clinton administration we haven't succeeded in this.what was particular, was it kissinger, was it the goalshe tried to achieve ? >> actually it was a bit of both. but i think there were some critical factors that i would highlight. certainly kissinger diplomacy and his skill and guile was part of it and we come back to that. but he was dealing with giants if you compare them with the leaders of the middle east today and i don't know whether it's just history or whether they really were challenges but that was a visionary devoted piece. it's something he's been more familiar with but offers that these world leaders that were capable of homaking decisions and sticking with them. bringing their people along. not being constrained in the same ways that we see today by

this is a moment in which kissinger's incremental one makes sense. >> one other element of kissinger's approach was essential nature of having the united states involved aired having an american role in the peace process. can there be peace in the middle east in his view without a heavy american hand? >> united states was a critical player. the united states could persuade israel to give up territory which lubricated the peace process. that remains today. israel controls all the territory. there is not a country other than the united states that can persuade them. the book shows the way in which kissinger used his arguments. not to impose a solution but argue with the israelis with golda meir and --. use it like a battering ram until they convinced him that it was in their interest not to trade territory for peace but territory for time. time to exhaust the arabs and get used for israel and strength themselves so they can make concessions with peace. he was immensely successful in that regard. the basic reality is still the case. the united states is the only country that can influence

martin indyk, "master of the game: henry kissinger and the art of middle east diplomacy." thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: while many areas across the u.s. have been upgraded to high-speed internet, there are still pockets that are in a broadband desert. and that includes many rural alaska communities. greg kim of alaska public media reports on one town that is finally getting connected. >> reporter: shawna williams is a parent with a full-time job in akiak. she's also in school to get her bachelor's degree in early childhood education. and, there's an added challenge. she attends her classes by phone. >> so, i have the meeting id memorized. because this is the most reliable way to join class. > reporter: she tried to use video so she could see what her teachers were writing on the board. but, she says, her connection just kept freezing. >> every so often it'll load and say "your internet is unstable." all the audio and the video stop-- it's just unreliable. >> reporter: in-home broadband internet is not available in akiak, or anywher

so i don't think i would want to go mount nearing with henry kissinger. but i think that -- what was encouraging, and he previously had quite stark warnings about the potential for conflict between these two superpowers. and was the idea that this meeting between biden and xi, the virtual summit talks this week, he thought actually had started on the right foot and had set the right tone. because that's a contrast with that first meeting that the u.s. secretary of state tony blinken had at the start of the year which went so badly. so it's nice to feel that he's at least henry kissinger thinks that we're on a slightly better path now. manus: and the other two words that jumped out, was equivalent and not subordination. and was his interpretation. for me, i think that's quite constructive. the other is around trade. i caught up with new zealand trade minister, and very bullish naturally so. and what was your take on gino reymundo? stephanie: it's interesting because she has been the commerce secretary, has been front running actually for quity aggressive b

i will talk with the man who opened up relations between the two nations 50 years ago, henry kissinger. >>> then the rest of the world. the troubling situations at the borders of both poland and ukraine and at the climate summit, mr. blinken goes to africa, and much more. i'll talk to david miliband and zanny minton beddoes. >>> also, waiting for the end of the covid pandemic. when will it happen? will it ever, and what will it mean when it does? >>> but first, here's "my take." every two minutes a water main breaks in america. the total amount of treated water wasted every day is about 6 billion gallons or 9,000 swimming pools, every day. and it highlights the infrastructure bill that president biden just signed into law is so important. the need to fix america's crumbling infrastructure has become boringly obvious but that doesn't change the fact that it is indeed falling apart. and just as is the case with any kind of deferred maintenance, the longer we wait, the worse the problem becomes, and the more expensive it will be to fix. one way to make clear what a shift the biden adminis

kissinger in the 1950's worked on nuclear proliferation. we need to find a way to deal with in a dialogue and a sense of principles around software proliferation where the proliferation can hurt millions of people. emily: yet you say that ai is going to be harder to regulate than nuclear weapons. we see how hard it's going to be to get any law passed. are we going to see an ai nuclear event before we can come to agreement on these terms or realize the urgency of the need to do so? eric: that is incredibly perceptive on your part. it seems to me that we want to avoid having to blow up the bomb in order to regulate it. as we get closer to these points , let me give you another one. if you go to the movie dr. strangelove, they had a launch on warning. a bomb that was guaranteed to take out the other side. that is incredibly destabilizing. now let me explain why we might end up in that situation. the systems may have to make decisions faster than humans can't. yet the systems are in precise and they are still learning. i don't want to state the

i can't help but go back to henry kissinger. you will be the kissinger barometer. we are on the precipice -- he fully hedged himself yesterday, started the conversation, went on to qualify. the interesting words where he talked about we need equivalent rather than dominance. it is like trying to find a good offramp. >> there is a similarity between what he is saying. said it in different ways. both of them are saying it is good news that it acts as a truce of sorts, which we should add from our point of view means some journalists may be allowed in and things like that. they are good things. it is good he is talking about them. but don't underestimate the level to which there is an underlying problem. the prime minister pointed out that between the two different attitude the set up was we were on the foothills of the cold war, then talked about being on the high mountain pass. now he said we are on the edge of a precipice looking to ways. i give him a little bit of wiggle room, but it would be easy him to say we have come down the mountain a little bit. but i don't

manus: kissinger has said, we are through the margin past, but we are on the precipice. looking in both directions. the essence of that is, it is about treating one another fairly. the phrase that stick out for me is equivalence, not subordination. therein lies the point of what biden and xi need to achieve. for kissinger, it was progress, but how do you treat one another and avoid the worst case scenarios? he said you need to find the road to compromise. you need to agree your disputes not as a victor, but, again, as sort of a moderation and mediation. he talked about e.u. relations, you can pick it all up on the terminal. i guess trade is at the heart of this. we had the new zealand trade minister, he is on his way to talk with europe. i asked him, what are the doors for allowing china into that transpacific agreement? haslinda: fuel tech about trade, it is -- -- you talk about trade and it is all front and center. . i had a conversation earlier with the australian trade minister. he is looking at the trade deal with india, and also looking for a closer relationship wi

next on the witness stand mostly said he was asked by his friend, former secretary of state, henry kissinger, to investigate theranos as an investment opportunity for them both. he said he was fooled by the pfizer logo documents, and had questions about the company, but ultimately recommended kissinger invest. he also invested $6 million, after writing that he was a mannered with what holmes was doing. >> i understand there was a slight disruption in court today? what happened? >> reporter: everything came to a screeching halt this morning, after the court clerk noticed that a man in the gallery was taking pictures. taking pictures or recording the trial proceedings in federal court is forbidden. that is why we have court artists, sketching what goes on. we can't shoot any video. this man was taking pictures, and he was ordered by the judge to come up. he had to make sure the photos were being erased, and he was admonished for doing that. he said court marshals would be taking action if he was seen doing that again. this trial has had, as you have been following, just about everything. >> an

it is the economy form and i came into the office this morning and i thought kissinger was here a few years ago and this is what he had to say, we are in the foothills. i looked at the news sheet we printed up two years to the day, and china and the u.s. at the foothills of a cold war. the summit tonight could be the shift. dani: it is a fascinating time to be having these conversations, not least because we just got the resolution from china last week, the first time since mao zedong. how do you put these proposals into action? manus: we will put those questions to some of the powerbrokers. including henry kissinger so many people are overweight now, and asking themselves, "why can't i lose weight?" for most, the reason is insulin resistance, and they don't even know they have it. conventional starvation diets don't address insulin resistance. that's why they don't work. now there's release from golo. it naturally helps reverse insulin resistance, stops sugar cravings, and releases stubborn fat all while controlling stress and emotional eating. at last, a diet pill that actually work

kind of criticism perhaps peaked in the early 21st century with the publications the trial of henry kissinger which proposed no less than prosecution for the decision making during the nixon presidency. expressions of hostility nixon had departed from honored american traditions both in the content of his policies, especially the low regard as either practice or goal in the cynicism that lay at the heart of his political style. this is something critics on both left and right agreed on. it's worth pointing out nixon's record particularly in the foreign policy realm is repute in some republican circles as early as 1976 and over time the gop would move further and await further away from realism and a moralizing approach to foreign policy that became with ronald reagan. but at the heart of this was the senses a moralism outside new traditions outside as jimmy carter might have put it in during american values. the unfortunate outcome as i think many moderate analysts of nixon's presidency might say is the throw into deep disrepute any reasonable sense of limits and interests might have served t
