in the middle east in latin america you hear the same thing now. don't make us choose we don't have to choose between the u.s. with whom we have a strategic relationship and an economic relationship and china which is the most important market for our goods and that's you know that's a another aspect of this a people haven't looked at much but really struck me as i was finishing the book the number of voices you hear saying that other countries who are worried about the standoff between the united states and china i remember when rock obama came in the saudis came to me and were so upset about the barack obama campaign saying you know that energy independence was a goal of an america and it was within reach and they said that would be a terrible thing for us in the middle east and you sort of right that it was a terrible think that their relative who's act that declawing the labor of obama started with richard nixon gerald ford jimmy carter ronald reagan george h.w. bush bill clinton george bush and barack obama they all said energy independence an

now the middle east isn't the only place where the trump administration has shored up our footing on the world stage. our 45th commander in chief set out to rebuild and modernize our military from a chapter of weakness and apology into a renewed posture of strength. four years later we have a new national defense are strategy to compete with and deter adversaries like russia and china, we have rebuilt the military and invested in new technologies to enhad sure that america keeps our edge in everything from cyber to space to advanced weapons systems. nd the president's leadership has not stopped with those who are currently serving. he signed into law the historic v.a. mission act to ensure our dedication to the men and women in uniform does not end when their tours conclude. clearly, madam president, the list of american accomplishments since 2016 is nearly endless. there are the many miles of new protections on our southern border. at one time our apprehensions at the border hit the lowest levels since the 1907's. essential causes like religious liberty and the unborn have had a cha

president trump as the dawn of the new middle east and the beginning of a new era of peace but others see it as the building of a stronger front against iran and a potential end to any chance of a future for the palestinian people in wednesday's show i'll be speaking to the palestinian ambassador to the u.k. has a lot and later in this program we'll be hearing from the editor in chief of the jerusalem post jack of caps but 1st joining me now from tel aviv is the 10th prime minister of israel ehud barak who also served as defense minister for 27 to 2013 former presidents effects so much for coming on before we talk about anything i suppose we must talk about the lockdown in israel perhaps the 1st 2nd lockdown in the world your prime minister netanyahu saying that your country is on the edge of an abyss what do you make of the situation every major critic of of the prime minister of police is on this issue we have went through the 1st 2 a very effectively but then. we gave both posed for half a year and nothing had been done to improve the capacity that will probably the cup by. an. to

military posture towards the middle east? >> yeah, i think again, we have to rollback the clock quite a ways here. why is the u.s. military in the middle east to begin with? you've really got to go back to the 30s and the discovery of oil and the british footprint that was in the middle east at the time. and then the united states coming on the stage as a as a world power in world war one and then of course with world war ii . and at the conclusion of world war two, towards the end of it, a set of rules were drawn up on how the world would be run and u.s diplomats along with the diplomats of several hundred other countries all met and decided on a structure a world world structure. on a world structure. the rules of the road, so to speak. today in the media people refer that as the rules based liberal world economic order. so there's different monikers to it, but the bottom line is, rules were set up and the united states at the end of world war ii, we suffered grievously in world war ii, but nothing compared to other countri

so i looked at what we worry about in the greater middle east. what are the concerns that we think this resource expenditure warrants? what are they after? and i basically concluded that oil is real in terrorism, or the main sort of concerns with the nuclear deliberations, the third and a half reason that we could talk about. i looked at what we worry about when it comes to oil markets. would we worry about when it comes to israel. but we worry about when it comes to terrorism, and conclude that having 50, 60, 70,000 troops in this part of the world is not necessary to protect what are actually limited threats to those interests. i'm happy to go into those discussions in the queue and a because this is a extremely bite sized version of the argument. i think the central problem here is that the united states has had so few internal or external constraints on its foreign policy that it has been able to spend a lot of money, almost unlimited money at times on both guns and war, and in terms of, choice when countries have no need to choose, frequentl

>> well i mean i think it is the primary message that the israelis are sending to the middle east is that they can challenge the iranians and iranians really can't do that much in response. the israelis have been pummeling the revolutionary guards in syria now for almost two years. the iranian revolutionary guard corps which also controls the nuclear program has been really unable to respond to this pummeling of which they have lost substantial life and manpower and material. so the israelis i think are signaling really clearly they're not scared and that they have the iranians, they have advantage over the iranians. i think it certainly fortifies spines of gulf arabs who historically have never been courageous when it comes to iranian threats. gerry: briefly, if biden comes in and his team are talking about possibly redoing, resurrecting, getting the u.s. back in the iranian nuclear deal how do you think, how do you think that will play out? >> well i think obviously the iranians are waiting to see how many billions of dollars the biden administration is prepared to throw before tal

there are a few questions about our posture in the broader middle east and the questions are diverse in their concern. some thpeople wonder why we still have such a big us military presence in the broader middle east but others are worried that going down to 2500 forces in afghanistan by early in the new year and maybe pulling forces out of somalia for example may put us at risk. i realize these are charged questions and a lot of considerations go into them but is there any way you would help us understand the us military posture and the trials that are ongoing in the us military posture towards the middle east ? >> again, we have to mold the prospect here. there are a lot of usmilitary in the middle east .and you treally got to go back to the prior years and the british footprint that was in the middle east at the time and then the united states coming onstage as a world power in rlworld war i and then of course with world war ii. but at the conclusion of world war ii towards the end of it those were drawn up, so along with the diplomats of tr several other hundred countries , they

east that you saw then is very different from the middle east we are talking about today, and the perfect reflection of that, or evidence of that is the three of us are sitting here doing an interview with you. that couldn't have happened 16 years ago when we first met. so the region is changing. david: ambassador al-khalifa, where did you grow up? and i know you went to school in the united states? >> correct, i did grow up in bahrain, i went to school in bentley in boston, six years, mba, went back, civil servant all of my life. my previous post was an as a governor of one of the four governments back home and i worked closely with the people and this was a shift, but a very good shift and serving the country is still an honor and a pleasure. david: so for those who haven't been to bahrain or are not that familiar with it, what is the population of bahrain? >> i know, david, you've been to bahrain, population is 1.5. we have, speaking of covid very quickly, we have one of the highest test per capita because of the number of population. we have 1.8 tests, 1.8 million tests that were done

security in europe and the middle east. >> we are talking about extremely interconnected issues. i would like to go to you about nato and the eu in particular, turkey anticipating sanctions in the near future. they said they will never abandon their east mediterranean are we bracing for more confrontation -- eat mediterranean right -- east mediterranean right. are we bracing for more confrontation? >> the main thrust of the sanctions are being kept for later for march of next year. i think there is still this power game active who is going to blink first. macron has managed to rally a majority of eu member states behind him and his claim that turkey's activities are no longer acceptable. we will have to see how erdogan is going to manage that. i think there was intention on the eu side to have some briefing space between now and march 2 wait for the new u.s. administration to come in -- march to wait for the new u.s. administration to come in. >> if you look at turkey right now, they are stretching their capabilities to the extent they are involved in libya, the east mediterranea

east but they are still wrong. they didn't see the anger of the od in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say as generously money has a military from people that they will take revenge from chomped and they are so wrong they are sinking this war will be end the end of general silly money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand and front of such a they just powers why would donald trump say that your father was a monster well of course a 1st he is the monster not my father. and 2nd i will say. my father did his job so well and make them so angry you are seeing every plant are making the middle east is destroyed everywhere they are trying to enter and hurt iran they are failed why of course for them my father is a big monster but my father is a savior. he saved people not just his own country he did this for all countries he did this for people not just middle east he this troy i says because he don't want people people innocent in

a huge misperception of what will be happens in the middle east and i'm there truth to what extent it could be of value have been interviewed we continue to to listen to your claims which i found totally disconnected from reality even here all day of the names and they events you have mentioned probably had happened i'm not sure of this give believe iran a bluffing about retaliation for the assassination of customs and their money i don't see a value for continue to continue these in the we owe you know your right to frame the situation or the perception of the viewers of the situation. ponyo drudge meant and to ask me just to give more kind of modification to it i do not accept your framing so i don't think that there is any value to continue this. but all i was asking about was how big is the iranian threat to israel now that the united states assassinated one of their top generals i think that my english is not as good as yours but in plain english and very clear i don't believe you did do a way to continue an interview where in your own question you're too white to put an arm so.

now the middle east is not the only place the trump administration has shored up our footing on the world stage. our 45th commander-in-chief set out to rebuild and modernize our military and move our foreign policy from a chapter of weakness into a renewed posture of strength. four years later, we have a new toional defense strategy deter adversaries like russia and china, we have rebuilt the military and invested in new technologies to ensure america keeps our edge in everything from space to advanced weapon systems. the president's leadership has not stopped with those who are currently serving. he also signed into law the act to ensure dedication to the men women -- men and women in your form -- in uniform is not and when their tours conclude. so clearly the list of american accomplishments since 2016 is nearly endless. of newre many miles protection on our southern border, and at one point apprehensions at the border hit the lowest level since the 1970's. essential causes like religious liberty and the unborn have had a champion in this administration instead of an adversary. there ha

not just middle east he'd destroy i says because he don't want people people innocent in europe got killed by such a dangerous virus how my father can be a person who wants to kill an american people and people in europe how he was saving them from i says he was saving them so don't let anyone to hurt them he was fighting for them how he can be a terrorist to kill people trump is gone in january and it will be joe biden who says he wants new relations with iran do you think it means anything that joe biden will be in the white house there is no difference between biden trump they are the same guy and they are following the same policy there is no difference between them trump or dare killing my father but biden support death so there is no different they have the same thought and they are following the same way and they are the same person joe biden cannot return my father he can it can't return it so there is the problem we have with our it is with their policy this will not change they are the same people the same mind the same way and it's one of them is worse than the other one. and yo

east. america made them and they are like toys for them the the life of people and us and people are like toys for them they attacked everyone everywhere and of course they are not happy that my father is standing in front of them on every plan they are making in medalists my father destroy it and he changed escaping he was the winner of this game and he destroyed them of course they are not happy and they kill him so easy and other place in air for international airport he was the guest affair up to people they invite him to help them how they dare to kill officials general of a country they kill it's easy and they said we kill it and be proud why they are proud because they kill someone like general soli monies that he was destroying old their plans all the money they were putting on the middle east my father destroyed their plans of course they will be happy if they kill him and they were proud and you know of course they will say he was a terrorist. because they're in their mind my fath

they couldn't do anything with my that they were failed they were destroyed in middle east they were embarrassed all their plans was destroyed so of course they have many reason to kill my dad is really they took a life of innocence person it was keeping it worths place safe for a of course they will. they will say we have been we had many much reasons for killing him what would you say to american soldiers who are in syria or iraq writing al qaeda so they set who for it apparently with your father on the same side what would you tell them to say to journalists and and their politicians. i for your question i prefer to answer by a question i will i like to ask them ask american soldiers why do they are in iraq . why they are in syria why they are everywhere what they are looking for why they are sending them they are saying they send them to destroy isis we know they made the ices so why they are sending and to send soldiers to death you see it's like a game for them they create something and they send their own soldiers to get killed by something they made it and they don't care for

in certain countries around the world in the middle east you know i have seen surveillance the middle east in different countries. my own hands were to shock me completely in were those countries have been listening in to people's mobile devices and it's not just limited to we heard about our ism across the cross of paris and it's you know a lot of the middle east countries china will target anyone the film other dissenters on the sim and russia as well if they feel their dissent is coming through their communications means we'll be talking to well you mentioned up all the attack devices or i phone is this an embarrassment for the company if their phones are finding more vulnerable than an envoy devices. well i think this software specifically targets of devices if you remember a couple of years ago there was a big legal debate about whether the f.b.i. could get access to. a terrorist uppal device in the states and it went through the courts were refusing to give them the codes to get into it and then all of a sudden the caucus disappeared because a company most to get into it was one

foreign policy as well just as tensions spike in the middle east that has many in israel worried today the country has warned its citizens against travel in the gulf region as iran is seen thing over the us s. a nation off its top nuclear scientists blame in the killing on israel now with its staunch ally leaving the white house the jewish state could face tough times it's been for good years for israeli conservatives with a u.s. president who often gave them what they wanted. i repeat i just want to thank you for everything the state of israel. you've been the greatest friend. in the white. one of the trumpet ministrations 1st foreign policy moves was to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital like many actions to come it was controversial palestinians consider east jerusalem the capital of a future state the trumpet ministration also recognized israeli sovereignty over the contested golan heights region captured by israel in 1967 from syria you can't stand here and there out and what's across the border and deny the central thing the president corrupt recognized that previous preside

look i think what this tells us is that there are a number of complicated issues in the middle east that are on the world agenda and will be the top of the genda when there's a new american administration when joe biden become becomes president you know i guess what i can say is i very much want the american administration to be actively and bit and gauged in trying to find a fine. just in general solution with respect to the israeli occupation of palestine and an evil calloused an insult to terminations you know what i what i fear is that there are a number of competing issues in the middle east including iran especially iran and that the for the presidency of the job i mean consider that that may be where they want to expend their limited political capital in the middle east and devote their efforts to try to reengage iran as they should and try to see if a new avenue or revised agreement can be entered into with respect to the development of nuclear power as it should but i hope that doesn't take precedent over the need to find and bring to a just in general and the palestinian israel

their doctrines for the middle east. i think we should think of sufficiency as a global policy challenge, that the middle easterners can contribute a lot. maybe solar, maybe for their own thomistic use. i would like to see collaboration on solutions. we have serious policy challenges worldwide on nuclear energy. should it be considered a green energy source or is it a problematic source? i am all for technological innovation, but i don't think they are sufficient to transform whether we think the middle east is important or not. ryan: i want to remind everyone tuning in you can submit questions via the chat function or the hashtag #renewingleadership on twitter. i've got one already, a question to both of you, circling back to transatlantic relations. are eu efforts focused on complementarynomy to a renewal of the transatlantic relationship in everything from security to digital policy, or is strategic autonomy something that can undermine political relations? ellen: we have been through several iterations of the europea

because they killed gen so i am honored to power of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the art in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say a general sort of money has a military from people that they will take revenge from trump and they are so wrong they are thinking this would be end the end often or also the money this is the beginning and there is a 1000 people like general salim mani are ready to fight like him stronger more powerful and this is our power and if they are thinking for that they must know our people are united and they will stand in front of such a they interest powers but of course trump is gone in january and it will be joe biden who says he wants new relations with iran although his advisor said in the past 24 hours or so that he wanted a coalition to oppose iran do you think it means anything that joe biden will be in the white house i have to say. there is no difference between biden trump they are the same guy and they are following the same policy there is no differ

he has been strong in the middle east. when he was mayor i remember in 1995, he threw yasser arafat out of lincoln center because he's a terrorist, and that shook up everybody. in the same way as the trump administration is shaking things up in the middle east. you've got two gulf nations recognizing israel. do you see this as the beginning of new progress and that other nations could follow through, recognizing israel as a way to face face tehran? >> it's one of enormous opportunity. the president, jared kushner, mike pompeo, david friedman, a number of people with the administration over the course of the last few years have challenged the status quo, the historical way of successfully thinking through this. instead of viewing the palestinian authority as having a veto power over any type of progress and strengthening ties with israel, instead the administration has gone directly to these other countries in the region. and i think a lot of credit goes to prime minister netanyahu as well for his efforts to strengthen ties

administrations oppose the middle east before? >> i think on the contrary. i think the biden administration has made clear that it will try to reassert united states world leadership. i think something that the trump administration gradually withdrew from a leadership role and undermined a lot of our alliances in regard to nato. with regards to the middle east i think i think the united states is going to continue to playle a role and working with our air friends in the middle east, and working with israel to confront twore adversaries. onee is iran, and the second is terrorism. i don't think there will be any effort to try and undermine the work that has been done to build those alliances and work with him to ensure we can assure peace in thatat region. leon panetta think it's much for joiningfo us at something we will follow closely as the next few weeks and months unfold. thank you very much. coming up georgia lieutenant governor geoff duncan on how the states to senate runoffs could change the power and the senate. >> look everything's at urelection in t
