mike pompeo. he's going to be extremely interesting even the backdrop of donald trump's recent lashing out at the intelligence community. -- committee. it has almost become a real showdown. there is a delicate balancing act. mike pompeo is going to have to play. he will have to ensure he has the trust of the organization that he is running to take over. he needs the backing of the cia. he also needs to have the backing of the cabinet under which he is serving and the president under which he is going to be serving. that is a very fine balancing act. donald trump has made it clear that he does not really respect the judgment of the intelligence committee. he has all but insinuated it was due to a leak with somebody within the intelligence community that these allegations were leaked in the first place. very contentious relationship. i will say one quick thing about the tillerson hearing. an effort to separate himself from donald trump on several issues including saying if he had been the role in 2014 he definitely would have had a very tough response including providing more arms and ammunition to the opposition in ukraine. that would have been very interesting as well. it will be

donald trump. so mike pompeo. how is he on the all-important issue of surveillance?>> he's pretty bad on that issue. it's not just democrats. you indicated who believe that. rand paul was the only republican to vote against him. and he has a long history, caring a great deal about fourth amendment rights and individual privacy in the youth, and essentially cited that pompeo is at the far end of the spectrum when it comes to favoring domestic surveillance and being supportive of a lot of policies under e nsa that caused edward snowden to become a whistle blower. his association with people who are on the far end of being islamophobic. kennedy: rand paul made a name for himself in that filibuster against john brennan. now he's being consistent with a new director heading the cia. coming up, thousands of texans rallied in austin demanding more choice. but not the left wing kind. lone star parents demanding more school options for their children. class is in session. the microsoft cloud helps us stay connected. the microsoft cloud offers infinite scalability. the microso

probably centers on a soon-to-be ex member of congress, mike pompeo, who runs the central intelligence agency and is somebody close to donald trumpbut also knows and understands the role of the cia and the intelligence community in general. it will be up to mike to heal this rift, which is profoundly serious. what the president-elect has done in denigrating and delegitimizing this $70 billion a year of operation we have has been very challenging for the intelligence community, comprised of terrific people, but also has been profoundly undercutting of his role as whendent and future times he needs to rely on this community that he has denigrated. jane: but his biggest concern at the moment seems to be the source of leaks. how much of a problem is this? rep. himes: leaks are always a problem, and this has been true forever. it is not clear, and i certainly don't believe thintelligence community leaked the information that found its way into the press. there are all sorts of third parties, including members of british intelligence, etc. these documents have been out for a long time, apparently, so i think first of all, the president

those answering the questions have been nominated by donald trump to join his administration. mike pompeo isressman nominated for director of the cia. retired generaljames mattis is nominated for secretary of defence. rex tillerson is nominated for secretary of state — he began his hearing on wednesday. he was up again. let's start with mike pompeo. here he is on allegations of russian hacking. it is pretty clear about what took place here, about russian involvement in efforts to hack information and to have an impact on american democracy, i am very clear about what that intelligence report says, and i have every expectation as we develop the facts i will relay those to the president, to the team round him and to you all, so we can have a robust discussion about how to ta ke have a robust discussion about how to take on an enormous threat from cyber, you have lived it. this is very real, it is growing, it is not new in that sense, but this was an aggressive action taken by the senior leadership inside russia and america has part of that obligation to protect that information. p anthony zurc

confident that folks like pompeo and mattis will get the ear of donald trump in an unvarnished way and maybe against the advice of general mike flynn? or do you believe general mike flynn isng to color what they say and ultimately get donald trump to ma a decision. >> i don't think either pompeo or mattis is going to have trouble getting his views through mike flynn or anybody else to the president. these are extraordinary, very able individuals. i think they were carefully chosen. i think they have very fine reputations for good reason. and i think they will call it the way they say it, which is actually what donald trump toll them to do before the press. he said -- >> are you confident he is going to have a different relationship with the intelligence community once he takes office? say mike pompeo or general mattis or whom ever goes to trump or somebody from the fbi goes to trump and says you know what, the russians do have some information on you. is he going to listen to them going forward now that they are his? >> i think anybody would listen. i was surprised that they went first to members of congress before they went to him. if something comes in that's clearly ju

german counterparts and his british counterparts this is our policy towards russia, and then donald trump says something completely different or if mike pompeo is in meetings with his russian -- the president of the united states says something completely different. >> obviously that's problematic, but the task for republicans at hand right now is to decide whether or not they want to gum up any of these confirmations for president-elect trump or accept these people and for them put marco rubio aside for just a brief moment, but for everybody else, what they have is some important clarity, which is to say that rex tillerson, pompeo, and mattis are all willing to take their own firm stance where their own reputation where the rubber meets the road about how they feel about aggression at the border, you know, and inside of ukraine, about the iran nuclear deal, about any return to anything akin to waterboarding. they have all drawn their lines in the sand. if someone has to be confirmed in any event to be the secretary of state, to be the defense secretary, to be the cia chief, these performances this week, by and large, are giving republicans

is good to have you with us. in washington donald trump's pick to run the cia is getting a grilling. despite trumps calls for closer ties to russia, mike pompeo has parted ways with his boss with some hard talk. russia's efforts to interfere with the u.s. election were very real. an aggressive act ordered by top leadership. voicing strong support for the cia saying he had seen staff walk through fire. it is clearly in contrast to what donald trump has been saying. he lashed out at u.s. intelligence agencies accusing them of leaking the story about russia having compromising information. >> two days after dimming revelations of questionable origin were published tensions between trump and u.s. intelligence agencies reached a new level. u.s. director of national intelligence said he told trump the lake had not come within the intelligence community. trump blame them for the inflammatory dossier. the people suggest trump and russia had closer ties than previously thought. >> the title is allowed. the content of the report is poor. not to mention it is weird. we have seen loads of strange documents but in this case it is very poor. i think most a

and the us senate is due to vote today on mike pompeo, president trump's choice as director of the cia. our news correspondent richard lister reports. this is donaldd a bust of winston churchill. he said today will be his first proper working day. so what does his to—do list look like? if he sticks to his campaign promises for day one, it looks like this. near the top is repeal obamacare. the former president's healthcare reforms which donald trump actually began dismantling on friday. he's said he'll withdraw from the transpacific trade partnership with 12 pacific rim countries. the white house insists that will happen. president trump said on day one, he would also abolish gun free zones in places like schools, but that will take legislation. and then there's this. i would very, very strongly get rid of the attack on the border. we have a border that is like a piece of swiss cheese. people are pouring through. that border will be the single first thing i do. he has changed his position on the new border wall, suggesting it wouldn't be built along the whole border and he might not insist mexico pay for it upfront. but his supporters will expect s

think you bring up a good point that dan coats is russia hawk, mike pompeo, future cia director is a russia hawk, general mattis is a russia hawk, so donald trumpg hymn with very good people who understand the threat -- chris: let me just say, you also have rex tillerson who has done business with russia and received a friend of russia medal and you have lieutenant general mike flynn, the national security adviser, who had dinner with putin. so i mean, there's split inside the administration about russia. >> like i said, chris, this is not unusual for administrations to want to work with putin. i mean, they've tried -- all administrations tried going back to first president clinton when putin was first put into office. i just don't see where this is anything different and i think the news media is trying to blow this, i say the democrats are blowing this up because they are trying to change the narrative of what happened in this election. you know, i am not happy that this report that we were briefed on, just the gang of eight was briefed friday morning, yet many news media outlets already had the information that was briefed to the gang of eig

the senate overwhelming so he will most probably be our next defense secretary and mike pompeo, the guy who is donald trump ice pick to run cia, first at his class at westpoint and harvard business, rather harvard law. ainsley: you're saying he's smart. steve: a smart guy. essentially what he said, yeah, russia hacked us, no, we won't bring back enhanced interrogation and both mattis and pompeo said as well they are going to get tough with russia. watch this. >> i think it's under the biggest attacks since world war ii, sir, and that's from russia, from terrorist groups and with what china is doing in the south china sea. >> it is going to require incredibly robust american response, response that's security-related response, we have to get better at defending against these and then a response that holds actors accountable who commit these kind of actions against the united states of america. >> look at mike pompeo, look at general mattis, look at general kelly, they disagree with the president elected of the united states. the president of the united states has position on things, what if we get along wit

is appointees who work in the west wing's that can produce a difference. what donald trump has is the opportunity to put these people in place. mike pompeoe of the smartest guys i have served with and congress. charlie: number one in his class at west point. then went back to kansas to be a politician. speaker ryan: yes, to get elected to congress. [laughter] a room the point is, donald trump is staffing himself with high-quality individuals who will work with this intelligence community and i believe serve him very well. and he realizes and sees the quality they are producing -- i think they already have his will respect, but they will have more of his respect. charlie: when he gets there. speaker ryan: yeah, every administration's political. the obama one was more political than i have ever seen before. you charlie: what was the most egregious thing they have done in your mind? speaker ryan: i think they micromanaged the military too far. they took away too much i confirmed our from the secretary of defense, from secretary of state, and have a lot of unconfirmed 28-year-old stranger run foreign policy when better experts were out there

is it the kind of government we want? no. mike pompeo and mattis are conventional guys. they were expressing conventional republican views on these matters which don't necessarily agree or jibe with donald trump. budonald trump ultimately is going to be the president. kennedy: last word, katherine. >> i think we can hope for a certain amount of neglect by trump of these guys. way heard them saying was pretty mainstream. all right, your basic republican. so donald trump has to look away sometimes. he's busy tweeting about somebody's physique, then they can do the whole thing. kennedy: we'll be back to talk about how one lawmaker plans on punishing russians and it could affect your liquor cabinet. the office of the inspector general are looking into whether james comey followed proper procedures leading up to the rodney and his new business. he teaches lessons to stanley... and that's kind of it right now. but rodney knew just what to do...he got quickbooks. it organizes all his accounts, so he knows where he stands in an instant. ahhh...that's a profit. which gave him the idea to spend a little cash on some brilliant marketing! ha, clever. wow, look at all these new students! way to grow, rodn

the cia under mike pompeo and donald trump can declare peace can come up with a unified plan. i think a reset with russia isot a bad idea. and we have a better relationship with the russians, that's not the worst case scenario. if we do things that are provocative with the russians, they're going to strike back. and they are sewing chaos. all of us have to understand, these are big stakes and the more we try to undermine our president, the more we undermine our president, the worse off we are as a country. >> wait a second. you were probably once a reagan republican. >> and that was during the cold war. >> she told you the cold war, from their perspective is not over. there are a lot of challenges with russia now. i'm not a hawk in saying we have to go to war with russia. john mccain and lindsey graham are hawkish on it. but at the same time, you have to recognize the discord that putin is sewing here, not just here, but across democracies in europe. what he did in ukraine, these are bad things. you can't just say we're going to have a reset and move on.

is to be confirmed friday, and possibility that mike -- pompeo would be added. so at least the two president would have fop three positions on his security team. this is not about donald trumpr barack obama but it should be abouts country. from some speeches we heard today, it is clear all participates, democrat and republicans, are trying to set the stage for what they hope will be a fro from duckive -- productive next 4 years with donald trump. one out of three democrat in congress will not becoming tomorrow with said, this is a very exciting day, a tremendous amount of buse bustle that conts here. liz: trump's family, and his adult children are there, i think his grandchildren were at the laying of the wreath at arlington at the tomb of the unknown. are the grandchildren here tonight? reporter: i believe they are. we have seen mr. trump's kids. eric and donald jr., their kids were there. not add lincoln memorial for tonight's celebration. and welcoming party but we do understand that the kids will be involved throughout all this. liz: thank you carl cameron, terrific job thank you. >> thank you. liz: with more on what to expect tomorrow, trump's great america chair eric

closing off but i think there are people saying this is fair trade and not free trade who support donald trump. liz: let me just quickly ask about mike pompeo, one thing donald trump has not been able to get applause on at the moment or at least agreement on, confirmation of secretary of state rex tillerson and cia nominee mike pompeo. the senate intelligence committee is working to vet him. we're expecting something later today. bret, will he get confirmed? there is a little bit of controversy. he said he would consult with experts on the efficacy of torture or specifically waterboarding, things like, that mass surveilance, that got some peoples concerns elevated? >> he will get through and so will rex tillerson. the biggest hurdle for the secretary of state nominee were republicans, marco rubio, john mccain, lindsey graham, all have said they will now vote for him and the reason all these nominees will get through, barring some unforeseen circumstance because of democrats who changed the rules in 2013, made it 50 plus one to approve cabinet nominees, not 60 votes as it used to be like supreme court justices. liz: it comes back to bite you

is agreements. mike pompeo the deal now is will they will have six hours of debate on monday and vote monday night. mitch mcconnell says, hey, the cia, donald trumpsit the cia today, but this is about policy differences. they say in the pain every work to the committee we will break no lois, but they say pompeo has said i won't break the law, but i must test the law. what can we do to expand the surveillance program. president obama i think had seven on day one. two for donald trump. what's the impact? >> this is the fewest amount of nominees that any president has had on the first day in office since george h.w. bush in 1989. the impact being that it could slow down elements of donald trump's agenda. again, not having his team in place, he can issue executive orders, put their open people underneath them and begin to drive a policied a jen today and it could slow down action in the senate. you can only do one thing at a time on the floor of the senate. so you bring up a nomination that takes days and days, that pushes back other aspects. democrats don't want to give quick approval on eight nominees ranging from health and human services to treas

someone who hopes to be the next rector of the cia, mike pompeo, a congressman, he is going to a confirmation. he has to build bridges to his but ats, donald trumpthe same time he has men and women who are sometimes putting their lives on the line. residente reach out to elect trump and also convince his people, his men and women, irat he has there back -- the back? mr. panetta: that will be the challenge. i faced the same challenge. you have got to gain the trust of the people who work there. they are not republicans, they are not democrats, they are good american. they are patriots and professionals who look at their jobs as something that is extremely important to protecting our national security. the key is for the director to be able to build a relationship of trust with the team he has at the cia, tell them he is going thatotect their back, and he will be honest with them and he expects them to be honest with him. if he can build a cut of relationship, a product of that in terms of intelligence will be the truth, intelligence that will be important to the president. then i think the director has to build a relationship of trust with the ne

general james mattis, ben carson and compman mike pompeo up for top spots in donald trump's administration. as kristen holmes reports, mattis is a step closer to clearing hurdle for the nomination. reporter: he took his hot seat taking seat in front of the committee. >> it would be the highest honor to lead those who volunteer to support the constitution. >> he strayed from trump's position on multiple issues from relations with russia and putin -- >> we have to e to. there is a decreasing number of areas where we can engage cooperatively. >> to nato that trump called obsolete. >> i would see us maintaining the strongest possible relationship with nato. >> mattis retired in 2013 faces an extra hurdle. convincing all of congress to bypass a law requiring military officers have a seven-year rest period before serving as secretary of defense. >> it will be the mission and my onus if confirmed to ensure the agency remains the best in the world. >> trump's pick for c.i.a. director, representative mike pompeo also indicated stark differences with the president-elect. >> pretty clear about what took place here, about russian involvem

is not the time to talk about lifting sanctions. mike pompeo says russia is the number one threat and is doing nothing to help us with isis. there's a big gulf between what donald trump is saying and his nominees. >> yet he encourages the respectful dissent. >> yeah, but something pretty remarkable this week. we also learned in the hearings. rex tillerson, the secretary of state nominee, says he has not discussed russia with donald trump. >> interesting. we're going let you go. you have a huge show coming up this morning. he's going to talk with incoming white house chief of staff, reince priebus and senator bernie sanders. all coming up later this morning on "this week." george will head up our team for live, all-day coverage of the inauguration, this friday, january 20th. our coverage begins at 7:00 a.m. eastern. dan? >> thank you. >>> we move on to the end of an era for many of us, including many of us right here on this desk. a trip to the ringling brothers and barnum & bailey circus. it was a staple of childhood. overnight, we learned that the greatest show on earth is coming to an end. marci gonzalez is here with more. >> reporter: dan, good morning. this been

mike pompeo is now the cia director. he was sworn in earlier's tonight by vice president mike pence being confirmed by the senate. voting 66-42 to approve donald trump'sicked to head the cia. some democrats objected to pompeo claiming he had inconsistent positions on issues like surveillance, torture, and rushes meddling in the 2016 election. minnesota governor mark dayton fainting tonight while delivering the state of the state address. it happened near the end of his 45 minute address. the 70-year-old democrat suddenly tumbled backwards, aides were able to catch the governor and save him from further injury. he appeared to have regained consciousness as he was let out of the room. later his son tweeted, i am with my dad now and he is doing great. back now to "hannity." >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." here is more of my interview with kellyanne conway at the donald trump white house. take a look. i want to talk about the news industry. and i make no bones about it, i'm a passionate conservative, i supported trump for president. they were fake news reports, russia report, the dossier, supposedly what was caught on film in a russian hotel. or whate

much is made of the fact that donald trump is setting himself up for a chilly relationship with the intelligence community. what is lost in this argument, in the case of mike pompeo is heading cia. there will be a new boss in the intelligence community. he seems to get along with donald trump. so i'm not so sure there will be friction there but at that could be me. dow down 126 points. we'll have more after this. neil: maybe given the attention paid to the russians and their role in hacking the last election, a lot of the questions that have been going mike pompeo's way, of course he is the congressman being considered to be our next cia director, invariably fall back on this theme, the role russians continue to play trying to embarass candidates in both parties including mr. trump, to cause the big dust-up with cnn and bus feed yesterday. i want to dip in a little bit to see how he is handling this. >> what i want to hear from you, i want a cia director who is willing to accept the overwhelming weight of evidence when presented, even if it turns out to be politically inconvenient or require you to change a previously-held position. so i want to hear from you a g

donald trump. that is what they interpret. i am interested to see how things change when mike pompeo gets in and trump will see what he is presented with is not a personal attack on him, but national security. >> those who think once he has his guys around him, he will believe the information. he wants to reset the table with the chess board and i'll mix met th metaphors. >> the thought is the information he is receiving is political and it's put out to taint his victory. people repeatedly in the intelligence community is saying it is bigger than that. >> pompeo is not a friend to the intelligence community. he is likely to be seen as somebody who is a threat to them or are they going to play along? >> there will be people within the intelligence community are doubtful he can continue the investigations and priorities they laid out regarding national security. time will reveal these things as he has more information to all of the investigations that are happening. >> all right. eugene scott. greg valliere. >> we will have you back. >> come up with your best. >> get a cup of coffee. >>> the pittsburgh steelers advancing to the afc
