to see klapper and brennan out there with the titles of former director, et cetera, these guys are no longer intelligence officials, and it's time for the president to start striking back at them. and by that, i mean, a lot of these senior people get to keep their security clearances so they can consult within people in government. there is no need to have security clearances anymore. start taking away brennan's security clearance, or access to anything, klapper security clearance or access to anything, because they have become partisans. they are not out there doing what they should be as professionals which is to do their job and be blind, agnostic, when it comes to party politics. >> jesse: that is a bold move to make and i think president trump would make that move or flirt with doing that. you brought up an interesting point about people, though, still in the fbi or in the doj that do have these clearances. we are hearing word here at fox news that there may be some people coming forward, may be some whistle-blowers that might like to talk about how james comey ran these operatio

i'm kira klapper.at that microclimate forecast. that wasn't very encouraging to see this morning. >> that's okay. it doesn't carry any rain with it. it's a nice little marine layer, high clouds out there and it is going to keep us cooler throughout the afternoon. cooler temperatures from what we saw yesterday. right now, temperatures remain in the 40s and 50s, napa 48 degrees, san jose at 55 right now, san francisco, 53. your temperature trend into the afternoon will be climbing into the upper 60s and to mid 70s so we will be running a couple of degrees cooler, expecting partly cloudy skies all day long so the clouds will linger into the afternoon and this is ahead of a bit of a system that's going to come into play and as far as if it's going to carry rain with it, you'll have to tune in at 7:00 a.m. to find out. >> that's a good tease. we'll check in 32 minutes. >>> we have new video this morning of the volcano erupting in hawaii, the lava continues to spew, threatening more than 1,700 people and sev

not a ton on jim klapper the person beyond your early history. let me ask you a little bit based on something that really struck me. i've been doing this for 10 years, six years on the intelligence committee. i would say that you are the scariest guy to have as a witness. [laughter] my question is, though it may be sort of stereotypical thinking, military family, long tradition of being involved with national security sphere, obviously doing tough work, you're not mrs. so the first person i think of as being an aggressive warrior for social issues. for lgbtq rights and making sure muslims feel comfortable. and there's a moment in the book recently you almost in tears when the president obama made a statement about muslims. tell us a little about where that very socially liberal notion comes from. >> before i answered i would like to thank you for your service on the committee. a burden that people serve on the committee there does not happen with other committees it is mostly secret. and you don't get much benefit so that as a sacrifice on your p

i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast. kind of a bummer of a saturday morning. >> it's a little gloomy but it's okay. the temperatures are going to be cooler so you'll still be able do go outside and enjoy even though there's not a lot of sunshine. look at this nice shot of woodside. it shows off the clouds cover out there. temperatures remain on the cooler end in the 40s and 50s. we're actually under a bit of a cooling trend right now that is expected to kind of linger through the weekend, cooling us down anywhere between 5 to upwards of 6 degrees in some spots compared to what we saw this week. santa rosa, 48 degrees, san francisco, 53, hayward, 55, and that temperature trend into the afternoon does show a nice climb eventually into the 70s, but if you notice by the icon, the clouds do stick around for your saturday, and i'll talk about a nice marine layer that's building that could mean some drizzle for some parts of the bay area, so i'll give you a good timeline on what you can expect for your sunday and of course i al

and i will tell you, when we finally find out the truth about this director klapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange suits. >> laura: michael cavuto and carter page, i hope we get to the bottom of this a lot sooner than a lot of people are predicting because the american people deserve to know who is behind this, who authorized it and how high up the ladder it went. thank you both for joining me tonight. >> amen. >> laura: god bless you both. a question we will tackle next. is the former obama cia director john brennan spooked? we will talk to former intelligence officers about what his recent antitrust outbursts could reveal about his own skeletons, coming up. mom, dad, can we talk? sure. what's up son? i can't be your it guy anymore. what? you guys have xfinity. you can do this. what's a good wifi password, mom? you still have to visit us. i will. no. make that the password: "you_stillóhave_toóvisit_us." that's a good one.

and i will tell you, when we finally find out the truth about this director klapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange suits. >> laura: michael cavuto and carter page, i hope we get to the bottom of this a lot sooner than a lot of people are predicting because the american people deserve to know who is behind this, who authorized it and how high up the ladder it went. thank you both for joining me tonight. >> amen. >> laura: god bless you both. a question we will tackle next. is the former obama cia director john brennan spooked? we will talk to former intelligence officers about what his recent antitrust outbursts could reveal about his own skeletons, comingsa out. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. >> laura: president trump swore in new cia d

from day one, from klapper telling comey to go brief the president on this nonexistent russian drama, to the incidentna that giuliani recounted, he was interviewed by the president for the job of fbi director with rosenstein sitting next to him. knowing the president has rejected him from that job. the deck has been stacked with axes to grind. when rosenstein's angry words came out and made it personal who does he think he is? he works for the president. he's an inferior officer of the united states. i was shocked and just like fbi agents are hanging their heads in shame, i'm sure there's a lot of good attorneys at the department of justice were stunned. that people are picking a fight with their bosses like this on television. >> laura: i tweeted this a couple of minutes ago but i think one of the big moments in this interview was when giuliani reference of stormy daniels issue. i believe we have the sound bite, let's watch. >> something do with paying some stormy daniels woman 130,000 which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. that money was not campaign money, i'm giving you

i mean the never ending media appearances by jim klapper. we were joking earlier, he must be promoting a book. and he is indeed. what's your take on what he said right there? >> it just shows that this is really a house of cards. you think they are trying to make something that there is no evidence of and when they talk about people being guilty and adds no evidence of collusion. they see right through this and it's a continual straw man argument and they continue to push it every way they can. >> laura: that meeting at the white house today, it's not clear what documents were actually presented to devin nunes or to trey gaddy. were they able to look at the documents were not look at the documents? the details of the meeting will not be released. >> they were tight-lipped about this. >> as they should be. but i think the bigger concern is, will devon nunez and trey gowdy be able to get the information, look at the information without reduction? we see these problems where they will redact things, withholding it from congress. well, since 184

i actually respect his honesty because unlike brennan and klapper and others, hayden said, i support torture and torture works and that is part of why i support gina haspel. ahat we saw yesterday was a ci propaganda operation. her answers were carefully prepared the way she refused to answer kamala harris' questions about the immorality of torture. one of the things i found astounding was she said the cia has historically not been in the business of interrogation. what on earth is she talking about? and why wasn't she pressed on that? i believe what she was doing was relying on a technicality which is the cia traditionally outsources those interrogations or they will have people like those mental health professionals mitchell and jessen who were essentially the ones that came in and said, here is how we can reverse engineer the tactics that we used to train her own personnel to .esist torture or face torture let's reverse engineer that and apply it in an offensive manner against prisoners. farce where was a unfortunately some of the democrats and all of the republicans engaged in a c

former director of national intel jim klapper also told cnn that the dossier was used in the assessmentdiscuss this and other developments with former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy, whose peace and national review today is titled "retracting a retraction: fusion simpson stands by testimony that fbi had a spy in trump campaign." great to see you. where are we now on this? brennan seems to be completely disgraced. he has been contradicted even by former obama intel chiefs. what gives? >> there are misstatements that you make which are intimate misstatements, and other stuff that you say which is not only wrong but like so galactic we stupidly wrong it's hard to explain. so let's think about the intelligent assessment is january 4th 2017. by the time they get it, by the time they do it in october of 2016, the month before, they have used a dossier to go to the fisa court to get warrants. so why on earth if you are going to go to the fisa court and go through all the hoops that you have to do to get approval of the fisa warrant, go to a federal judge, swear out an application, relying on

. >> i've known jim klapper for years. i am astounded how bad he looks now. i'm astounded how dishonest and incompetent he looks. he was a great public servant for many, many years. but when the director -- former director of intelligence tells you he doesn't like to use the word spying you have to ask yourself -- -- >> laura: that is funny. i didn't think of that. >> he was the director of national intelligence. what do you think he was in charge of doing? he was in charge of spying. and this whole thing is just -- people on the left, i think what happened was people like clapper and former director of the central intelligence agency, all these guys thought they could get away with this because hillary was going to win. and when hillary won the fix would be in, everything would be covered up and around 10:00 on election night they all began to realize this could get really bad and they were shifting gears from protecting hillary, which had been their job for two years, to trying to destroy trump and now you are watching people who i think in every case are i

now former nsa director admiral michael rogers and former director of national intelligence jinx klapper art contradicting john brennan saying the dossier was in fact used as part of that assessment and then finally we should note after a closed-door hearing with john brennan today the senate intel committee says the russian government did interfere to help donald trump win the election. the house intel committee you might remember had already concluded that russia did interfere, but not in an effort to help donald trump. martha. >> martha: mike rogers was one of those. he felt that that was not conclusive in terms of whether or not they were trying to help trump over clinton. a former nsa director. thank you very much. joining me now with more on this tonight, john solomon, opinion contributor to the hill who has dug into the story very deeply over the past year. good to have you with us tonigh tonight. interesting timing how this piece dropped and sort of shed light on all of these things. what do you make of this story and what it aims to accomplish? >> there's a lot of speculation th

when you have john brennan and jim klapper and michael morel supporting her nomination, it just goes to show you that any democrat who is not seized with blind hatred of the president recognized that gina is probably the most qualified nominee we have ever had to be the director of the cia. >> martha: senator tom cotton, always good to see you, sir. as the senator just said, gina haspel has been with the cia since 1985. she has served under six presidents and senator cotton argues in many democrats as well she is eminently qualified. she would be the first woman to run the central intelligence agency, a post held by 24 men including george h.w. bush, john foster dulles and bob gates. so take a look at some of the questioning today. >> the cia selectively declassified only small pieces of information to bolster your nomination. while keeping damaging information under wraps. >> what i believe sitting here today is that i support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to. >> would you please answer the question? >> i think i've answer the question. >> know you have

also coming up former national intelligence director chains-- james klapper will offer insight from the us intelligence community. television and radio host will retrace the transition to progressive politics and this weekend author barbara ehrenreich looks at the science behind how the body ages. >> it's hard to face death if that is what you are like. you have-- i'm not a buddhist, but buddhist sounding thing i think, you have to lose yourself lose yourself in your work, your art, the movements that consume you and then death becomes incidental because consider, you know, i consider my long involvement in the women's movement in the movement for economic justice. when i'm gone you will go on. other people will do things i've been doing or do them better, so that's good. it's not scary. wonderful. one of my tasks in old age is in fact to reproduce myself to help younger writers, writers of color, people in poverty become journalists and get a start in those are like children to me and my children of course are amazing, so i just think the-- that's one of the jobs of being old is passin

. >> brennan and klapper and comey. they all have a lot at stake here. their decisions are the ones that are being looked at. the actions that they took are really at the basis of what the chairman are trying to get these documents relating to, how did this infiltration of the trump campaign or folks associated with the campaign began? again, not the identity of the informant, but the predicate documents, the fbi 302s and the 1023s that will answer the question of whether or not there was an appropriate purpose behind this as opposed to an inappropriate political purpose. >> martha: the big question is how circular this whole thing was. did they have someone, and informant, because they had evidence that there was something going on? or did they have the informant because they were trying to bait people into doing something wrong? >> right. that's ultimately the question, these are fair questions that we have to get the answer to that because right now those answers are in classified documents the members of congress haven't seen. apparently some members

i )m kira klapper with vianey arana with a look at your >>> good morning from beautiful san francisco. i saw a few sprinkles on my drive in this morning. thanks so much for joining us. we have a look at our microclimate forecast for the holiday weekend. >> we might see residual drizzle, bringing light rain into the afternoon for san jose as well and into the evening. san francisco 56 degrees, winds about 18 miles an hour. gusts of up to 26 miles an hour right now being reported in san francisco. it's also still very cloudy in san jose. wind speed much less of a factor there at 56 degrees, the wind about 6 miles per hour. we can expect to see the milder temperatures through the early morning hours. but as we head toward the afternoon, we are expected to climate least into the upper 60s, low 70s and we'll be in the upper 50s, low 60s to the coast and as far as that sunshine goes, i'll let you know if it's going to evee making its appearance. i'm going to break down the weekend. it's memorial day weekend and a lot of people are planning on grilling. >> we begin right now with a story tha
