dni would be the top intelligence advisor to the president of the united states. it would be their job to decide what intelligence reaches the president's desk and what does not. few positions in government carry the burden that dni will carry every single day. the person who serves as dni therefore cannot be someone controversial, they cannot be someone who has to literally convince senators to ignore their checkered past, to ignore their conspiratorial views and essentially ask senators to hold their nose while they support her and that's what tulsi gabbard has had to do with so many senate republicans. who is kidding who? who are our republican colleagues kidding when they talk about -- that she's a good choice? it's incredible. it's incredible given her long list of frailties and dishonesty and conspiracies. there should never, never be any doubt that the dni is qualified and shows sound judgment. she wouldn't meet a low bar, but this job has a very high bar because it is so important to our security. the director of national intelligence must be fluent in the

so fact if your shipment is intelligent to united states and both countries which united states love, trump is now taking gifts further. and say's ok if you are with me to develop artificial intelligence. i can share this with you as much as i want to share. but if you go and do it, enter into some kind of partnership with other countries such as china, so you're against. therefore, this is a top type international relations understanding because previous tvs, so the same thing you had either with me or against me. absolutely. but it's a to some extent only in language, it's a wishful thinking that the americans want to have dominance. they want to have dominance. that's what they say that we want to control. but the question is whether the other nations actually getting the benefits rather than a being sold director rick about the benefits you see that the distinction here in your estimate estimation of the trump administration. so if i do think they will deliver the goodies that they promise, i don't know it's up to the countries because many of the country schools they enter into a

i want his help, especially the nypd intelligence unit, who's the finest intelligence apparatus in the in the world to help me find missing children. there are. many are in forced labor. many are going to be forced sex trafficking. not all of them, but many of them. and that's a promise i made to him. do do do you do law enforcement stuff? help me forget the public safety threats and the children. i'm never going to ask you to arrest an illegal alien. and that is my promise not to make them immigration officers, but make them cops. working with cops. >> so if he doesn't do the things that you want him to do, would you be okay with doj reopening its investigation into him? should they do that? >> that's that's that's out of my lane. i'm a border czar. i care about the border. so let doj do what they do. i care about removing public safety threats from the country. president trump promised the american people. >> adam says that you are looking into new york schools or churches as you hunt for undocumented immigrants. did you make that commitment to him? >> well, me and mr. adams talk abo

make no mistake about it, if they stop sharing that intelligence, the united states will be less safewe'veeecently as this past year where because of those strong intelligence sharing between the united states and austria, countless lives were saved by disrupting a terrorist attack that was going to take face at the taylor swift concert. second, you've been publicly outspoken in your praise and defense of edward snowden, someone who betrayed the trust of our nation and jeopardized the security of our country. the truth that the vast majority of the information he stole and leaked before running off to china and russia, might i add, had nothing to do with american privacy and compromised our most important sources and methods. in many ways we are still paying a price for that. i believe that edward snowden's action put our men and women in uniform and harm and you called him a brief whistleblower. for the moment given the opportunity to clarify your position in prehearing questions, you declined and instead expressed and again i quote "the dni has no role in determining whether or not

director of national intelligence oversees and compiles intelligence from domestic, from military, from foreign sources for the president of the united states who then uses it to make life or death decisions. the director is in direct line from our intelligence community to the president. that's why this position needs to be filled by an experienced and trustworthy candidate, key qualities that tulsi gabbard does not have. at a time of rising global threats, having tulsi gabbarding serving in this role would make america less safe. and i want to say that again -- would make us less safe full stop. our allies are dumbfounded and our adversaries, well in moscow, beijing, tehran, and all over the world, they're laughing at us. they're laughing at the idea that the united states of america would weaken its national security by placing someone so deeply unqualified in such a critical role for our safety, for our security. our adversaries, well, they are overjoyed that they're going to have an ally leading the american intelligence community. and my concerns are not political. after all, ms. gabbard and i used to serve in congress together

to offer just one example, last summer intelligence sharing between the united states and austria saved countless lives by disrupting a terrorist attack at a taylor swift concert. underscoring the importance of these relationships. ms. gabbard has also been publicly outspoken in her praise and defense of edward snowden, someone who betrayed the trust and jeopardized the security of our nation. the have as majority of -- the vast majority of the information he stole and leaked, before i would mind you, he ran off to high tail in both china and russia, most of this information, i can assure you, had nothing to do with america's privacy, but did compromise our nation's most sensitive collection sources and methods. in many ways, we're still paying a price for snowden's betrayal and it is beyond dispute that his actions put our men and women in uniform in places like iraq and afghanistan at risk. yet, ms. gabbard has celebrated snowden as a, quote, brave whistleblower, and advocated his pardon. someone that my friend, tom cotton, called a traitor who should, quote, rot in jail for the rest

intelligence. to say the least, i never thought that we would see a moment in the history of the united states, the history of our attempt as a congress to -- to ensure that the american people and that the president gets the intelligence they need in all these years, over all these decades, i never imagined we with would see somebody like tulsi gabbard approved on the floor of the united states senate for that job. and i wanted to get -- to speak tonight just briefly to say why i thought that was the wrong direction for the trump administration, more importantly, the wrong direction for the american people. let me say first of all, intelligence and being a member of the intelligence committee, i know this is unlike anything else we do around here because a lot of what happens, my colleague senator king from maine is here, a lot of what we have is done in secret. and one of the great privileges of being on the intelligence committee, i think in part because it is in secret, there isn't a lot of partisanship that you see in other committees, there isn't the jockeying for position or notoriety. the p

the director of national intelligence oversees 18 agencies in the united states intelligence community, including the cia and the nsa. the director has the legal authority to direct intelligence gathering and choose which intelligence to share with foreign agencies. as director of national intelligence ms. gabbard would have access to our most closely guarded secrets. she would know the identities of the brave men and women who gather intelligence from our foreign adversaries. there should be absolutely no question about the trustworthiness or the judgment of our director of national intelligence. the director of national intelligence should not sympathize with autocrats, blame our allies for wars of aggression, or parrot kremlin talking points. this is a low bar to clear. mr. president, i am here in the senate to represent the people of nevada. they are relying on me to work to keep them and our communities safe. i tell you what, i pledge to help keep nevadans safe by opposing ms. gabbard's confirmation, and i hope my colleagues follow suit. and with that, mr. president, i yield the f

let's refer to them as the dni, is the top intelligence official in the united states. ies that make up this country's intelligence community. we think often about the cia, but there are a lot of other agencies, including the fbi and the nsa. highly sensitive information gets passed up to the dni. information that might not even make it to the president or other top officials, because one of the dnc's main roles is to curate the intelligence that the president receives on a daily basis, and to fill that very important role. donald trump has nominated someone with no previous significant experience in the intelligence community. i wouldn't even say insignificant experience in the in the intelligence community, who in fact has a history of undermining american intelligence and foreign policy goals. on thursday, tulsi gabbard, trump's nominee for dni, faced a series of tough questions from senators from both parties during her confirmation hearing. gabbard, a former congresswoman who began her political career as a democrat and is now a member of the republican party and an

intelligence community says. and she has long criticize the actions of the united states around the world. she is a non intervention essentially arguing that the united states should focus on his own affairs and stop meddling and countries across the planet and her, assuming the role of intelligence directors certainly raised some eyebrows and some criticism from those who defend the us, political and military establishment, let's review just some of what tulsa gabbert has said over the years about u. s. foreign policy and the intelligence community back in 2020, when she was running for the presidency and the democratic parties. presidential primary. here's what she had to say about what was then her own party and the serious problems about its internal life and how it is managed that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people. it's a part, it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington represented by hillary clinton and others foreign policy by the military, industrial complex and oth
