mr. weinstein? >> well the -- congressman johnson, the office of the director of national intelligence was established to be the quote, unquote, quarterback of the intelligence community. so the dni, the director of national intelligence sets the requirements and collection requirements and provides oversight in a number of ways and in this particular process the dni plays a critical role because as you know the director of national intelligence will have to jointly certify to these checks and certify that they'll be done legally. >> certainly. it is the quarterback for the intelligence agencies for the federal government? how many are there? it's about 26 of them? >> 16, right? i'm forgetting, but i want to say 16. >> 16. okay, that might be good, but now the processes -- it's 16? >> i'm getting nods from the audience. it's 16. >> the process that the intelligence community uses or the tools that are used to conduct surveillance are products from defense contractors and intelligence agency contract

mr. weinstein was kidnapped in august. al zawahiri said basically if the u.s. meets the demands for mr. weinstein, releasing all al qaeda and taliban prisoners, stopping air strikes in yemen, somalia, afghanistan and pakistan, then he would be released. this is the first actual proof of life as they say of mr. weinstein. >> how do we know how current this video is? >> well, we really don't. we know it was taken sometime between december and now. because some of the demands that he refers to. but we really don't know. a lost times with these al qaeda videos, we really don know when they were taken. presumably if al qaeda wants to get some demands from the united states we would assume he's still alive. the state department, u.s. government is working with the pakistanis. the stack stannys have the lead on the investigation but so far, no other information about where he's being held, presumably somewhere in the tribal areas of pakistan. >> elise, is there any chance the u.s. will meet any of the demands? >> i don't think so, zoraida. basically the u.s. has a no negotiation policy with any

mr. weinstein laid out a specific time line. obviously, time is of the essence, but we don't know when that video was made. so, it could have been recently, and there is this so-called proof of life that is not a proof of life in the sense that there is no date on it. so, certainly, the u.s. is going to be trying to find him, and we don't know what is going on behind the scenes with the pakistan pakistanis, but time is obviously of the essence and mr. weinstein is believed to be in poor health, but he says he is getting the medicine and well cared for, but a lot of concern not only about the well-being, but about what these al qaeda operatives will do to him. >> how horrific for the family and everybody else watching. this thank you for being with us and the update. >>> some of the other top stories happening this morning. christine romans has a look for us. christine? >> thank you. upheaval in france and greece could move the markets this morning. france has a new president, francois hollande defeating sarkozy in an election be

mr. weinstein, the discussion there was about activities that were -- that were taking place during the bush administration. not during this administration. and they -- the fact that something in this tactic may have been used in the bush administration, doesn't mean that you knew that it was an ongoing tactic that was used in fast and furious. so i want to give you an opportunity to try and elaborate whatever answer you want to give to the question that's been raised by mr. gotti. >> the e-mail i had from mr. gotti, and i'll give it back, is an -- it's from jason weinstein, and he has indicated that the reference that he makes in there is not to fast and furious, but it is to wide receiver. he testified to that. it is his e-mail. you know, i think in some ways he's the best person to determine what his own words meant and so that was -- i mean, i look at it, and i appreciate the chairman giving us the opportunity to look at it over the course of a couple of minutes. the e-mail as said, jason's e-mail, jason weinstein's e-mail, he was talking about wide receiver and not fast and furious. >>

mr. weinstein when he sends the draft at the bottom of that string. mr. brewer is not one of the people to whom he sends. there can be a tendency at times, i'm not filling a judgment in this case -- that there can be a tendency at times when someone sends you an e-mail for reporting on your good work, to say back, good job or something like that. one of the things i wanted to be careful of in this case is to make sure that everything was well founded, and argued that we had something to support it. >> i appreciate that. your friendship with mr. brewer would not impact your decision making on this? >> it had zero impact, had built to take this office and do this job. as i committed before the senate judiciary committee, the only thing that was going to make my decision was the fax from the lot, period. >> i appreciate the fact that you're asking for personal e-mails. i know that my colleagues would like to ask another question. if i make him ideal the rest rest of my time to mr. trey gowdy. >> i think the gentle lady from florida. mr. horwitz, i want to as

mr. weinstein, when he sends the draft at the bottom of that, mr. breuer is not one of the people to whom he cents. there's a tendency at times, i am not trying to judge him, but there can be a tendency when somebody sends you an e-mail reporting on your good work, to sit back, a good job or something like that. one of the things i want to be careful of is to make sure that everything was well founded and that we had something to support it. to put out the evidence and the people their own -- rather and use in conclusions -- respect the varying views i have heard. >> your friendship with mr. breuer would not impact your decision, would it not? >> it had zero impact when i took the oath to take this office. i took an oath to do this job. as i committed before a senate judiciary committee, the only thing that was going to make my decision were the facts and law. >> i appreciate the fact that you were asking for personal demons. i did ask a question to the committee. i know that my colleague would like to ask another question. if i may, i would yield t

mr. weinstein believes there is a responsibility to inquire within a investigation. let's move forward a little bit to the next matter in which he is now in charge of the oversight of the fast and furious. there are certainly communications that take place with regard to certain higher level individuals who are engaged in the review of information and others. what responsibilities did he have at that. in time to acquire as to the activities that may have taken place during fast and furious appreciating that by his own rank by which he already understood first that the atf had already engaged the in this activity and properly, and secondly, his own articulation that even a single gun being what was a violation of what he considered his sense of a properly run case. and, third, his own desire to ensure inquiries were made. >> what occurred in that april time period, the discussion he had about gun walking the he learned information about fast and furious. perhaps not gun walking was going on, but he learned affirmation about the case sufficient enough to write an e-mai

mr. weinstein on this, every time there is an accusation of murder, the dead person doesn't get to join the debate, everybody keeps bringing this up, but i understand why with total sympathy that i share for the victim here, it's always the case in a murder case that the victim can't talk in court. >> the victim will talk through the assistant state attorney in the courtroom, the crime scene examiner, the evidence that's introduced. the victim will get a chance to talk and present his case through those people and their voices. you have to re, i want to the go back to couple things we're talking about here. stand your ground will not go away for george zimmerman. it's the law at the time this crime was committed. that will always be there. if they get past it and do end up in court, then he also has a self-defense, a justifiable use of deadly force that will come up before the jury. this is long from over. and there used to be a saying things are different in florida. you have to remember in the state court system, it will be observed for everyone to see. cameras are allowed in the courtroo
