director pompeo: certainly a risk. we have to keep in mind as intelligence matter we understand this is not only a nuclear threat, not uni dimensional. , whatontinental missile we are talking about a pretty significant military. they can do harm to a major city in the world is not far off. a very complex problem. the reason why appreciate -- previous ministrations have not president trump has said that we haven't obligation to prevent that from occurring. this is a final call for questions. let me ask a series of three questions that are more washington center. -- washington centric. talking about the tension between the white house and the intelligence community and where that is going. you have been an important bridge and a leader and a trusted member of the white house team in the early days of the administration. how do you describe what the relationship is between the white house and the intelligence community? director pompeo: it's fantastic. i can only give you my observations. with theing i was president givin

please welcome director pompeo. [applause] director pompeo: good afternoon, everyone. thank you for coming. i did take this place, it is special. i want to thank you for hosting me today. i am honored to make one of the first public remarks i have made in over 10 weeks as director of the cia. 10 weeks, i have it all figured out. [laughter] director pompeo: we have bill webster here. thank you for being here. [applause] it is an honor: to be here and i am a little bit nervous. i thought it would start by telling you a story. bright,story about a well-educated young man. he was described as industrious, intelligent, and likeable, if inclined toward impulsiveness and impatience. at some point, he became disillusioned with intelligence work and angry at his government. he left the government and decided to devote himself to what he regarded as public advocacy, exposing the intelligence officers and operations he had sworn to keep secret. he appealed to agency employees to send him leads, tips and suggestions. he wrote in a widely circulated bulletin, "we are particularly a

this is what mike pompeo is strategizing to do. the right has long he did wikileaks because of all of the publications they did of bush era war crimes, and democrats now despise wikileaks, probably more than anyone else that they hate, because of the role democrats believe we give explained in helping to defeat hillary clinton. what jeff sessions is hoping, probably with a good amount of validity, is that democrats, who should be the resistance to these attacks, will actually cheer for the trump administration while they prosecute wikileaks because they hate wikileaks so much. and u.s. media list, which also hate wikileaks, won't raise much of a fuss. that is a dangerous precedent. what types of journalism are protected by the first amendment and what types aren't will be entrenched as precedent. next time there is a leak they hate, they will have this theory that everybody signed on to that said that the first amendment does not apply to certain people if you publish documents that are offensive enough or if you work enough with c

but pompeo argued it's the u.s. disclosures like last month's release of thousands of sensitive cia documents that are making the world less safe. >> we can no longer allow assange colleagues the latitude to use free-speech values against us. to give them the space to crush us with misappropriated secrets is a perversion of what our great constitution stands for. >> it's noted this is the first speech mike pompeo gave since being named iowa director by president trump. he initially rejected the claims about russian hacking but we're told the cia did brief the white house before pompeo spoke. >>> in syria, evacuations from four besieged areas are under way today. two of the villages are pro-government. the other two are controlled by anti-assad rebels. relief workers in the war-torn nation are trying to remove more than 10,000 residents to safety. their efforts come against the backdrop of an errant u.s. air strike earlier this week. that bombing killed 18 syrian fighters, all of them aligned with the u.s. >>> in gwi

that's what pompeo said it is. on top of which trump is part of right now trying to impede what we need to know about what russia did and the collusion among people around him in the effort to destabilize the election campaign. >> we have not heard from president trump in condemning wikileaks. david, when you hear the cia director mike pompeo, former politician mike pompeo, there is irony going off or hypocrasy. >> let's talk about president trump who made wikileaks a central issue in the campaign. mike pompeo was along for the ride and maybe now redeemed soul. one reason it is urgent is the important election in france coming up. it may determine if france stays in the european union. wikileaks is attacking candidates of the center. it is note worthy how russian candidates e-mail security. those at the center, his communications are being attacked. with the view of what russia is trying to organize is extreme of the left and extreme of the right. >> phil, how did this happen? did wikileaks start as a whistle blowi

pompeo won his re-election bid by more than 30 points. it should have been an extremely safe republican seat. so safe that according to the democratic candidate, thompson, the national party stayed away because they had concluded early on he couldn't win. in fact, as "the new york times" points out, only on monday when it became clear the race was being seriously contested did house democrats announce they were spending money on a late wave of get out of the vote calls whereas national republicans spent about $150,000 on the race. republican estes ended up winning oughly 8,000 votes. about seven percentage points. 20 points less than trump's victory just five months ago. another republican seat is up for grabs next week. the seat formerly belonging to

i asked senator pompeo what he considered to be the boundaries. he said those boundaries are set by law. you are the nominee to be the general counsel who if confirmed would advise the director about those boundaries. because the advice is classified and may not even be known to the committee, it is critical that we get a sense of your views on the law prior to voting. so to me, one of the most important legal matters facing the agency is how it should handle large amounts of information on americans who are not suspected of anything. i'll ask director pompeo about this. he said he would consult with a lawyer. and, so to speak, now the committee gets to ask the lawyer. you have written that the attorney general guidelines coverage collection on 12-eee would impose, and i quote here, stringent and detailed restrictions on big batches of information that include information on americans. i read the guidelines differently. the cia can actually conduct searches of those batches, looking for information on americans. so my question to you deals with th

i want to thank president trump and director pompeo for their trust and confidence in me. i also want to thank senator kaip kane for that nice production. it was a great privilege and pleasure to meet not just one but both of my home state senators as part of this process. i'd like to use this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about me and what i view as essential qualifications for a cia general counsel. i come from a national security family. as senator kaine alluded, my father devoted his life to the marine corps and to this country. he spent 36 years in uniform seeing active combat in world war ii, korea, and vietnam. there is little doubt that good intelligence kept him and his men alive during those years. he would later write about the remarkably good intelligence brought by bold foreign agents during his fight. when he returned home in 1970 run we are formed the marine history division which he led for 24 years. he was a prolific author of military histories and he supported the work of many other military horn military historians. he did so because he lefd

i've asked director pompeo about this. he said he would consult with a lawyer, and so to speak the committee gets to ask a lawyer. you have written the attorney general guidelines governing collection on 12 triple 3 would impose and i quote here, stringe want and detailed restrictions on big batches of information that include information on americans. i read the guidelines differently. the cia can conduct searches of those batches looking for americans on daeg-- looking for information on americans. so my question to you deals with a statement you gave us. what strangeaingent restriction specifically are you talking about? >> senator, as you know the attorney general guidelines are publicly available and recently revised. and they are publicly. they're thought a secret. >> i want to know what you consider to be restrictions? >> there are numerous restrictions and depends upon the particular information at issue. so there are obviously less stringent use and retention requirements with respect to publicly available informa

did brief the white house about what pompeo was going to say. >> pelley: nancy cordes, thanks. about two weeks before the election, candidate donald trump put out what he called a contract with the american voter, a list of actions he said he would take in his first day and in his first 100 days. he wrote, "this is my pledge to you." and he signed it. well, this is day 84, and we asked major garretting to check on the state of the pledge. >> i like to think of myself as a very flexible person. >> reporter: just over a week ago, president trump hinted at his receipt reversals of several campaign promises. on nato, candidate trump: >> i said here's the problem with nato. it's obsolete. >> reporter: president trump yesterday: >> i said it was obsolete. it's no longer obsolete. >> reporter: how about china as a currency manipulator? in august: >> i'm going to instruct my treasury secretary to label china a currency manipulator. >> reporter: but yesterday, the president told the "wall street journal" china does not manipulate its currency to hurt u.s. workers, and his administration

mike pompeo said it today. while roger stone is out there pushing conspiracy theorys on this network and others. so can they kind of act as if they're legitimate, even when they're working for a fellow who denies the original sin of this administration and still continues to say things that make no sense? >> i think the answer to that, david, would be from a moral point of view, maybe not. from a practical point of view, everybody has to be less fussy. >> malcolm nance, isn't it a question of what are they saying from ts point forwar when you look at what tillerson was saying the week before the emical attack in syria, he seemed like he hadn't even found his way around the office yet and didn't have the vaguest idea what a reasonable talking point sounded like on syria, saying he was going to leave it to, what, the democratic expression of the syrian people, what would happen to assad. everything he has said since the chemical attack has been a strong statement about both syria and the russian involvement in th

we're hearing for the first time public remarks from cia director mike pompeo. he made a point to go directly after wikileaks, senator, the same wikileaks that the president said he loved so much during the campaign. here's a refresher. >> now, this just came out. this just came out. wikileaks! i love wikileaks. by the way, did you see another one? another one came in today. this wikileaks is like a treasure trove. >> it's time call out wikileaks for what it really is, a nonstate hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia. >> senator, who do you think the president agrees with now, campaign trump or mike pompeo? >> i don't know exactly where the president is right now on this. obviously, campaign trump was pretty clear about that, and mike pompeo is equally clear on the other side of that issue. i happen to agree with mike pompeo, that wikileaks is a very dangerous -- >> i think almost everyone -- >> -- idiot. >> -- will agree with you and mike pompeo on this. >> hopefully -- look, when the president of the united states, when donald

catherine herridge is here with the dramatic debut of mike pompeo. >> thank you, bret. mike pompeo singled out the founder of wikileaks julian assange was group published thousands of damaging emails before the election and recently posted some of the cia's most closely held cyber warfare tools. >> it is time to call out wikileaks for what it really is, in nonstate hostile intelligence services often invented by state actors like russia. >> director pompeo reinforce the conclusion that the russian president intelligence services provided emails from the dnc and former clinton campaign manager john podesta to interfere in the u.s. election, adding that russia's primary propaganda outlet, rt, has collaborated with wikileaks. in march, wikileaks posted what is described as the most significant leak of cia files including programs capable of exploiting smartphones and a device that turns appliances into recording devices. speaking to an overflow crowd here in washington, director pompeo made no apologies for this technology, emphasizing it is not used against american citiz

in case you missed it on c-span, cia director might pompeo -- mike pompeo on national security and wikileaks. >> because while we do our best to quietly collect information, individuals such as julian assange and edward snowden seek to use that information to make a name for themselves. splash,as they make a they care nothing about the lives they put at risk for the damage they cause to national security. s. former pakistani president --i think when pakistan is blaming pakistan is actually wrong -- absolutely wrong. we continue to fight the fight fighting terrorism. >> later, secretary-general yen still work. >> we have been value to our since 1949. you promised to protect each other. one for all, all for one. yousafzaiala addresses canada. not know the studies on statistics, they understand that education is the only path to a brighter future. >> and secretary of state rex tillerson on u.s.-russia relations. ask we discussed the state of u.s.-russian relations. i expressed the current view the relations are at a low point. there is a low level of trust between the countries. the world's two

it's one thing for director pompeo to say it. now how are they going to encapsulate that into policy? i hope that the trump administration will now be more explicit in recognizing the threat that russia posed to our election and the instead of trying to deflect from that threat will be honest to the american people, support the senate intel and house investigation and fbi investigation and perhaps support an independent commission is that will look into these threats. if the administration is serious about recognizing these new threats, no lip service. we need to see action by the administration. >> senator, yes or no. should the president stand up and say i was wrong about wikileaks? >> well, i think you're going through this process -- on the wikileaks what -- mime pom paper oh -- mike pompeo, a significant statement and you may see evolution on the president's statement on wikileaks. the broader issue of russia. the idea somehow or another donald trump is colluding with the russians and -- that should have been put to bed a lo

all right, let's move onto julian assange, slammed by cia director mike pompeo for leaking sensitive information during a speech at the center for strategic and international studies yesterday. pompio saying it's time to call out wikileaks for a nonstate hostile intelligence service embedded by state actors like russia. wikileaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service while seeking support from anti-democratic countries. obviously tensions with russia are very tight right now. let's not forget syria and north korea. how do data-dumping organizations like wikileaks affect our national security? former head of the nsa and retired four-star general keith alexander to tell us about the threat of loose lips, i mean, the cia did not have a tight enough system and tons of data was stolen and put out there by wikileaks, but where do we stand with all the other threats in the nation and the world? >> first, if you start with what director pompeo said, i know him personally, he's a tremendous guy. what he talks about and saying there is absolute

the seat was vacated by [boos] cia director mike pompeo. william la jeunesse is fly from wichita, kansas, . >> there is a lot of spin here, so let me give you the fact that both arguments, ron estes is a former farmer, current state treasurer, he won this congressional seat and a very red district. where republicans outnumber democrats by more than 50%, and democrats have not won here and i was 25 years. they voters know him and like him, so he won by seven points and eight district that trump won by 27 and his predecessor won by 31, so is that margin of victory a sign of weakness that republicans nationally are in trouble, ron estes says no. >> it was a chance for the democrats. they were motivated. there was a lot of angst against the president. they were going to fight back, but we really sold the pundits

. >> shepard: mike pompeo from the cia speaking just a moment ago. he said he wanted to knock down the mistaken idea that the cia spies on americans using their microwave oven. kellyanne conway, hello. let's listen. >> first and foremost, we should know the intelligence organizations engage solely in foreign spying and terrorist organizations. we're damn proud of it. we analyze this intelligence so our government can better understand our adversaries that we face in a challenging and dangerous world. we will make no apologies for that. it's hard stuff and we go at it hard. because when it comes to overseas threat, the cia is aggressive in pursuit of information to help safeguard our country. we utilize our whole tool kit, fully employing the capability to the congress, the court and the executive branch has provided to it. consistent with our american ideals. we do these things because it's our job. it's what we signed up to do. it's what our president needs. if we didn't have a tough time justifying our budget to the american taxpayers, that too wou

so is it one of those things where like with pompeo today, you pick a spot and you say we're going to start watching him from here forward and see what he does? >> well, yes, because prior to last week, things were pretty rudderless in the white house. and that rudderlessness came from the palace intrigue that was going on between jared kushner, steve bannon, donald trump jumping in both feet in certain things. but now you have general mcmaster and you the secretary of defense mattis giving strong indications that there has to be a certain way. most interestingly is nikki haley as u.n. ambassador has been far ahead of even mcmaster and mattis. and the strength of her statements about russia and syria. and so now it appears that it's coming together at least on these two points, even though as i contend, the attack on syria was a complete wash. we didn't destroy anything. we didn't destroy chemical weapons. we just showed that we knew how to turn the key and launch cruise missiles. so i think that the white house in some respects is coming together. and if these threats and statements

and he respects pompeo. which goes to the question of will he listen to pompeo? apparently he is. >> absolutely. and that's the benefit of having the silver backs around president trump. you've got somebody like pompeo, who brings a lot of respect with him. tillerson who is well known and well respected, mattis, mad dog. all these characteristics play to what president trump probably likes, which is big boys and girls in the room who can tell it like they see it. and he probably does listen. and i think, again, the encouraging note here is that the administration is taking in intelligence. it's questioning it. and what mike pompeo said yesterday is they are taking it in in massive amounts. there's a real demand for it. you see why. you have syria, north korea, all these questions where stenlgs critical. >> where did you pick up is his and the cia's greatest area of concern right now? we hear a lot about north korea right now. obviously, russia is always on the radar. what do they seem to be most focused on and most worried about? >> we did a tour of the world in

i appreciate director pompeo saying that. i served with him on the intelligence committee and i'm happy to see him in this role stepping up. right now i would like to hear the president come out and say that, and so far he's been quiet about wikileaks and their connection to russia. >> does it matter if the president says it if the cia director does? >> well, a lot of people are asking with respect to the intelligence non- nucle intelligence community, whether these people had their first and last meeting with president trump. so, you know, what kind of access do they have with the president and are they relevant. it is great nikki haley has tough words at the u.n., but so far we have not heard the president talk tough with russia. >> i want goat your reaction, of course, also to the historic bomb that was dropped in afghanistan, the largest non-nuclear bomb the pentagon possesses. what do you make of the decision to use this weapon for the first time? >> well, i too want to know if the president authorized this because he do

i'm glad director pompeo has caught up to this but this is not new news. it has been well-known for some time now that russia has used wikileaks to advance its interests at the expense of american interests and it's high time now i think for the president and the vice president to come out and reinforce what director pompeo has said. >> thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >>> we'll have more on the breaking news, the first ever use of the largest nonnuclear bomb in u.s. combat plus north korea said to be quote, primed and ready for a new nuclear test. you're smart. you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, you won't have to worry about replacing your car because you'll get the full value back including deprec

last july, then-congressmember pompeo praised wikileaks for publishing emails hacked from the servers of the democratic national convention, writing in a tweet that has since been deleted -- "need further proof that the fix was in from pres. obama on down? busted: 19,252 emails from dnc leaked by wikileaks." in libya, at least 97 african migrants are missing and feared dead after their boat capsized thursday in the mediterranean near tripoli. libya's coastguard said it rescued 23 survivors. according to thehe international organization for migration, thte iom,m, at least 590 migrants hae died attemptpting the dangerous ocean voyage to italy so far this year. in brazil a supreme court judge , has launched a corruption probe into 98 politicians for allegedly taking bribes from a brazilian construction firm. among those under investigation are eight members of president michel temer's cabinet, the heads of both chambers of congress and dozens of senior , lawmakakers. this is political scientist geraldo tadeu of the state university of rio de janeiro. we are demonstrates that talking abou
