and i don't, i'm sorry when he goes to tehran in his last a international summit. he's looking for a piece that will go beyond the un, was always his dream, the united nations. that was his dream. he wanted a real united nations, and he won the united states with china with britain, with russia, and with france to be the 5 powers that would be let's say, the dominant powers in that arrangement, not one power that would be above it. all. kennedy did the same for he said, we don't want to pax americana enforced by american weapons of war in his p speech . it rare university and june 16th read the important speech, puts them right in line with, with roosevelt. i think they're very close. and i think the roosevelt inspired him in many ways, all the sound. thank you. and jeff k revisited through the looking glass is out now on demand and will be inflected him as this friday that san francisco will be back on saturday. yet of the day village most at as explanation of iran storm nuclear scientist must in fact reside as seen by some in the global south is at le matic of th

and then a few days at the brink is fdr, churchill and stalin planning d-day at the tehran conference which gets over-shadowed. so it's kind of like another spotlight that i wanted to give to something that i didn't think was focused on. so once that three day series was done, and the beginning, middle and end to the cold war, i wanted to find something that was also overlooked. and i looked at grant and i thought, i know nothing about his presidency. other than he was a drunk and it was scandal filled and he basically handed the baton off. i didn't really know. and i'm a student of history. so we started digging in. and grant aem's people will focus on his time as general, which was spectacular. there's amazing stories in the book that kind to have go through his time. but spends a lot of time on his presidency, which was consequential. i takes over for andrew johnson, who was i think one of our worst presidents, if not the worst. racist, i won't sugar coat it. not a lot in my description of johnson. but he -- you know, lincoln is assassinated. grant can see that happening before him

latika, regionalforeign ministers were meeting in tehran on friday and ended by issuing a statement calling for international assistance. australia is one country that had a military presence and has done things like, for example, take afghan refugees who wanted to flee the taliban. is there a sense in the region that realistically people are going to have to get involved again one way or another? well, it was interesting to see this week that the australian government committed another $100 million to foreign aid, humanitarian assistance, to afghanistan. it is very well for me to criticise the british, but australia's foreign aid contributions are absolutely paltry. i think it is 0.21% of gni. we are not a big downer, we are not a big giver and we are not very generous when it comes to foreign aid. this is a substantial donation from a struggle that the government said this week. clearly that is the only lever really that australia sees itself having over the taliban. australia has spent over two decades $1.5 billion in trying to develop afghanistan. and the question that the australian go

he has gone to tehran several times this year to keep this monitoring intact. this pessimism should be a warning for the binding administration about what is next on the iran nuclear file. host: this is a viewer from twitter saying, does iran want nuclear capability so badly because it wants to be at the g20 table? they just want to be heard. adding that, nuclear arms got india and pakistan at the table. guest: if we are talking about the g7, g 12, g20, i believe those are qualified by their economies iran has shown that the islamic republic -- not to privatize the economy, not to put toward ties the national interest -- not to privatize the national interests, but nonconventional military programs. ultimately the regime has decided and voted on what kind of state it wants to be. it is trying to change the system, it is not trying to rise from within the system. the caller did cite something i think it is important to note. in most of the literature on states with nuclear aspirations, and that is status aspiration. it is our to be seen as a rising power. that i

tehran wants a less for more deal weaker than obama's. let's bring in jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war and former vice chief of the army. i thought it was pretty interest pg. -- interesting. iran said the united states must lift all sanctions. that's the condition they put on the table as these talks start today. how do you see it? >> certainly iran is going into this deal as they always have. they are very tough negotiators. that's how we got the flawed 2015 deal. we find the biden administration here today very similar to where obama was back in 2014 when they were negotiating what became the 2015 nuclear deal. that is hungry to make a deal. having that disposal iranian's know that. the new regime came in and stalled the negotiations for what reason? to gain more leverage. here we are going into this deal. how much has changed? iran's economy has major problems. but has been slowly recovering. principally because the biden administration is not enforcing the trump sanctions to the degree that they should be doi

, dual nationality individual being in a jail in tehran, it's to do with potentially the nuclear deal, sanctions, these debts. fill our audience in about the context. obviously there is a dispute with the the west and iran, the enrichment of uranium, iranian ballistic missiles, adventures in the region, equipping the middle east. that has been the issue concerning the west but the iranian point of view, if you talk to them, they say ourjudicial point of view, if you talk to them, they say our judicial system point of view, if you talk to them, they say ourjudicial system is independent but we know from the experience from the past that happened people like nazanin and anoosheh ashoori, they have been used as bargaining chips, leverage by iranian officials to settle this political dispute. or sometimes even releasing some of their nationals who had been accused of assassination or bomb plots are other issues, to be released. there is a number of issues but we know in the case of nazanin, a british dual national, it is more about this $400 billion, the interest in the last year, the sha

and guys, -- tehran. and even the nuclear watchdog agency is not happy. they've been roughed up or blocked from their inspections of the nuclear infrastructure of iran. very dangerous times. todd, carley. carley: to say the least. greg palkot live for us in london. thank you. todd: a new book claims 0000 took $10 million a year and $80,000 diamond from a chinese energy term to make, quote, introductions. the new book puts hunter in the hot seat, exposing hundreds of messages from his e-mail. it alleges that hunter biden introduced the firm's chairman to his father who was vice president at the time, happening at a 2015 holiday party and joe concha will join us next hour with more on the widen family controversy. carley: here's what she writes in the book and the new york post. she said the biden family entered their services to a chinese energy consortium to expand their business around the world. we know this because of hundreds of e-mails documenting the deal find of hunter biden's laptop left in a delaware repair shop china through its belt and road in

literally chained to the floor of their notorious prison in tehran. one of the prisoners was supposed to be released as part of the i ran deal and the iranians reneged on that and the poor man has been the last six years. trump said if you're going to do that to our people, we're not going to let your diplomats run an and enjoy our universities and have free access across the united states. now again, we're back to instead of maximum pressure, let's call it maximum concessions. the biden administration is desperately trying to find things that they can give away. again, you know, practically begging the iranians to come back to the table. >> what would happen if negotiations wholesale collapsed midway through? what kind of ramifications would that have for the united states? >> i ran is marching towards a nuclear weapon. that will set off an arms race with the saudis, turks and others in the region. that is not good for anyone in the world. i don't think the israelis allow that to happen. so they're all destabilizing and will hit every american econom

this comes as one of tehran's nuclear officials says its goal remain to annihilate israel. report from middle east bureau. >> iran's delegation arrives in vienna for talks this week. like in the past these officials will speak indirectly with the americans about sanctions relief in exchange for iran returning to the confines of an agreement. >> it is obvious that in this round of negotiation the main focus will be concentrated on the issue of sanction elimination. we cannot anticipate a time frame on the length of these talks now. >> earlier this year, six rounds of talks resulted in no formal understandings between the parties to the joint comprehensive plan of action. a 2015 deal meant to put limits on iran's nuclear aspirations. over the past two years the islamic republic worked up to enriching uranium well beyond the 3.7% laid out in the original plan. now u.s. ally israel is warning they are prepared to use military action against iran as one of the country's top generals called for the total annihilation of the jewish state over the weekend. the brigade general said,

with regard to the actions taken against hamas, is the sending a strong message to tehran for the iranians, the active funders of hamas, supplying them with weapons? >> it was clear in my speech, that i was incredibly sincere about the threats they pose. fundamentally, to secure our freedom, we absolutely have to stand up against up and speak out against organizations that are the proponents of such appalling harm. i don't use that in a loose sense. terrorist activity, inciting hatred, inciting terrorism, training camps, sophisticated weaponry, all of these activities absolutely have to be deterred, and there is so much we still need to do collectively as allies, but also within the international space as well to recognize these arms will not disappear overnight -- harms will not disappear overnight. there are those absolutely intend on funding support him, propagating some of the most -- funding, supporting, propagating extreme acts that will undercut our way of life, destroy our economic prosperity, that this is only one prescription i announced today. i mentioned to others too, but fund
