where you can discuss national security issues where there are no politics. it used to be true that politics ended at the nation's shores and that politics didn't get involved in national security issues. that's not true anymore. we want to have a place where you can talk about those issues where there are differing views. people aren't scoring political points. >> there is intelligence that you can get wrong in good faith. that's part of the job. then there's the part where people cooked things and where politicians would cook it. is that something where you understand a mistake made in good faith and something not true? >> exactly. i'll give you an example. there's a misperception that the bush administration politicized the judgment about iraq having weapons of mass destruction. just not true. the cia and intelligence office believed that before president
8:36 am
bush came to office. we were telling president clinton that. that's a great example. >> you had a fascinating conversation with michael hayden about haskell and the controversy about her becoming cia director. you raced a standard with regard to her nomination. talk about that. >> what i meant by that, there were hundreds of cia officers who were involved in this program and they were all told that president bush -- told accurately that president bush enacted it. >> the enhanced interrogation tactic. >> known as torture. >> that the department of justice said it was legal. that it was not tortured and congress was briefed. those officers were told that. then the politics shift and all of a sudden it becomes something we shouldn't have done. should those officers working in that program be held accountable for something that the
8:37 am
leadership of the country made the decision to do. and the double standard comes in the following sense. the senate confirmed john brennan who was the number 4 in the cia when the program was conceived and approved. he wasn't in the chain of command, but he was number four. he opposed the program and spoke up at the time. she w he was still in the chain of command, but he was still confirmed. the military had its own enhanced interrogation program after 9/11. we never talked about the military officers and whether that should be part of their confirmation. >> both of you worked with gina haskel at the cia and michael hayden said this. her track record is honesty, candor, and courage. yet, it doesn't appear she's going to have an easy time of it when her confirmation hearings begin. >> so people have two questions, right? they have this question about should somebody who was involved in the program lead the cia? >> your answer is yes. >> my answer is yes. >> for her. >> in part because she went through it.
8:38 am
she went through it once. and because of that, she'll make sure the agency never does that again. if the agency is ever asked to do anything she's uncomfortable with she will say no because that courage is in her dna as a cia officer. >> is that the larger thing? that that act should take an act of conscience if you believe the order to do something is wrong. >> that's one of the questions she'll have to answer at the confirmation hearing. it's fair question. >> it's interesting that michael hayden said if she got appointed by obama, she would have been through. >> absolutely. >> let me ask you on prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the claims he's made about iran's nuclear program. what did you make of it? >> first, there's nothing new here.
8:39 am
in 2007, 11 years ago, the intelligence agency said iran had t had in 2003, stopped in 2003. there's nothing new here in terms of the big picture. there may be details here that help our understanding of what they were doing at the time. that may be the case. what happened here was an israeli prime minister who was trying to influence an american president and an american public to be more supportive of an american president who's about to pull out of the iran agreement. >> do you think he was successful? >> i think president trump was headed in that direction in any w case. we'll see if he was successful. >> i love to have you on. i love the podcast. thanks for being back. the latest episode of "intelligence matters" is available on podcasting platforms. new episodes will be released weekly and you can watch marcia gay harden every week as well. she's not going to be on the podcast.

we don't have any money. we don't get by. we struggle. but you are a great artist. i believe in jackson pollock. >> you're looking at an oscar-winning performance of marcia gay harden. she won an award. these days you can see her on tv in the hit drama "code black." she plays the residency director who leads the team in a business e.r. they call her daddy there. here's a preview of tonight's episode. >> he shows fluid on his left lung. >> let's get ready for a chest tube. >> this is congressman read. >> it doesn't change the fact he
8:45 am
has a dislocated shoulder. let's put it back in. >> we do not speculate on the private life of our patience. >> she serves a mpersonal medicl battle. she talks about her mother beverly who's battling alzheimer's. it's published by a dae vision of sigh money and shufter. i'm so touched. my mom died when i was 60, s 40 show was 60. it was a love letter to her but it talks about her career. you said your mother is the truest friend you'll have in your life and i think that's so true. >> it absolutely is true. my mother was my best friend. we appreciate our mothers, all they do, all they give us. >> even when they get on your
8:46 am
nerves. >> and they do. that's part of the passage of motherhood. but this was chronicling the seasons of my mother and how ore lives were interwoven. >> and about alzheimer's. you say it's a disease with no dignity. >> but she maintains hers. >> and this is case you can't make lemonade out of lemons. >> there's no bright side to this, no bright side to alzheimer's, although there's a hope around the corner for drugs. in the moment there's no bright side. you can only repurpose your pain toward something positive. >> because of that you wrote this book. >> that was the purpose of repurposes. >> what did you discover in the intentional act of writing that was a revelation? >> i think it was an opportunity to reflect on who my mother was and, therefore, who i am. there was one passage where i talked about what i assumed was my mother's passivity. if you can't say something nice,
8:47 am
doan say anything. i learned as i gold older that wasn't passivity. that's called reserve. sometimes you don't need to throw out all the negatively and speaking truth to power but sometimes there's way that has more diplomacy. that's one thing i definitely learned from my mother. >> restraint is a powerful model. >> restraint. >> what about when you think of that. it's a normal reflection we have as parents. oh, gosh, i guess my mom was right sneefr day my mother was right. you can't help but glean so much from your mother. one thing i noticed from my kids, they didn't get to know my mother, their grandmother, so i didn't want her legacy to be amazon. i wanted her legacy to be this beautiful life that she lived and that's why i wrote it. i would say as i wrote it i read
8:48 am
it aloud to my kids. they got to know my mom through mehmeting her. >> you say you were angry they didn't get the know the mom you knew. so this is sort of helping them to get to know her. let me talk about your new show. you're here for the third season now of "code black." what can we expect? >> they're so universal. in every hospital there's somebody going through the same thing. a baby who needs attendance, a father who's dying, so that universal urge to have a doctor heal you, we can all relate to it. in this one, this theme is about motherhood. my character, leanne, a badass doctor. she's attempting to adopt aerial. that's the thing, raising a teenager. >> you say she gets three eye rolls. you've got a big dance theme coming up. you had a broken toe. >> it's painful.
8:49 am
>> you are worried about how you look with a broken toe. >> my vanity took over. do i have one chin and does it look okay? >> one thing a woman can get away with. you do it in heels and backward. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> great to have you on set. >> thank you.
