this is from brennan, hallie. there was an interest on the part of the bureau to make sure the president-elect was very aware and informed of the dossier. it was not part of the hacking report and it was explicitly stated the report in no way took that information into account. this is brennan saying it was the bureau, i.e., the fbi, that almost led the charge on making sure that this information would stay and in the report. that's interesting because who is going to stay on? mr. comey. he will remain the director of fbi. hallie? >> emotional response from john brennan. want to bring in now contribu r contributor -- >> it makes no sense at all. the tick tock shows that president obama was recalcitrant and slow and did not talk about things like either the russian hacking or the dossier. the criticism domestically in the united states is that president obama didn't take action on these things soon enough. so vladimir putin is inventing a narrative here that simply doesn't fit the facts. >> as we talked about a lit

brennan? brennan is not going to be the man in charge anymore. in terms of the riff, we're talking about the riff that donald trump and the intelligence community. how much does donald trump need them? because based on his comments he kind of seems to be a-okay flying solo. does he realize what he's in for? >> i'm not sure that he does. a lot of people that i talked to made this point that when it comes time for president trump to have to make major national security policy decisions or to go to the american public and say i think we need to take military action in such a place, say north korea, i think we have intelligence that they're doing something that we need to stop their nuclear program, how is he going to look the american people in the eye and say the same intelligence community that i ridiculed as political hacks is now the one i'm relying on? people within the agencies are very concerned that he's keeping them at arm's length and seems to think they're out to get him when in realit

i grew up with john brennan from anyone likejohn brennan.hjohn brennan from the intelligence committee and know what he is like. he will bend whatever way the wind is blowing. on the other hand is a graduate, a harvard law school graduate, which i forgive, and a congressman who has been very effective in congress. now, what we need is somebody who is dedicated to the truth. and i think mike pompeo is probably someone who is much better than any director we have had perhaps since long ago in terms of telling the truth to the president. we will wait to see the result of that pick for donald trump and the future of mike pompeo. thank you very much forjoining us. more now on the march in washington, which was just one of dozens held in america and around the world in a huge global show of defiance against donald trumps' presidency. katty kay reports from the us capital. they came in their thousands. children, men, and women. lots of women. i came from hawaii to be here today. i'm here to represent all the people that can't be here. it gives me h

sharyl: brennan says the obama administration has done a good job fighting isis.n brennan: when i look over the last couple of years, i see that the momentum of the so-called islamic caliphate, isil, really has been stopped and reversed. th have been diminished significantly. it's about 50% less than what they had two years ago. the territory that they had occupied has been taken away from them. i think we're making progress as far as reclaiming the areas inside of syria and iraq that were overtaken by the isil fighters. barack obama: over these last eight years, we have demonstrated that staying true to our traditions as a nation of laws advances our security as well as our values. sharyl: shedd sounds less optimistic. david shedd: i think the fact that president-elect trump inherits a much stronger isil, or isis, after, after these years. are we safer today than 15 years ago? i truly believe that we are, but we're less safe than eight years ago. sharyl: how so? david shedd: the fact that isis has expanded in terms of the number of countries, whether it's in the

trump lashing out at john brennan. brennan criticized trump suggesting that trump's desire for friendlier relations with russia could run into the reality of moscow's real intentions. >> i don't think he has a full appreciation of russian ability and intentions and actions that they are under takings in the world. that is what the intelligence community's responsible is. i hope our relationship with russia improving in the coming administration. there is a fair amount of responsibility on russia's part to change behavior and actions. i think he has to be mindful that he does not yet, i think, have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road as well as making sure he understands. >> and outgoing cia chief blasts trump on russia threat. says he does not fully understand. trump responds, oh, really. could not do much worse. trump listed a few issues. look at syria and chemical weapons that crossed obama's red line. crimea and ukraine and build up of nukes. not good. was this

does brennan reflect what the men and women are saying? you talk to them all the time. >> i think he does. i think the average person is going to work hard for this president. there's no concern about that. but they're going to have deep concerns about whether he is able to absorb facts. this is so far the administration playing pretty loose with facts, and whether he can take a bad message when there is bad news to be delivered. so far, he does not react well to things that are in some way displeasing to him. part of being president is you've got to hear the whole thing, the good, the bad, the ugly. >> you were not political. you were career in the agency. >> that's correct, yes. >> and is this a case where people just didn't support donald trump? because there are also a lot of military people in cia who may have favored donald trump. so we're trying to get our arms around why is this a big deal? why should people be concerned about the intelligence community and the incoming president not communicating? >> well, i think the main concern

what do you make of ryan priebus's remarks as well as john brennan. >> conflicts with john brennan arehing new for republicans. many of them have distrusted brennan for quite a while. they view the cia and the larger intelligence community as not having been completely straight with them on issues like benghazi and the central command and the intelligence about isis, on issues about the bin laden papers. there are a lot of sore points between republicans and john brennan over the time. apparently he returned the sentiments from his side it's clear, i think in his remarks today, or the remarks he apparently approved, that he hasn't liked donald trump for a long time. so i don't expect that to change. arthel: getting back to president trump. as you pointed out, he made his first official visit to the cia headquarters there an attempt to start repair work. but should the repair work and grievances be taken off line? in asking you about a public spat, how that affects americans and not to mention what it signals around the globe. >> i think trump wanted to make a large public gesture becau

i worked with john brennan a number of years. i think he is an honorable guy. i doubt seriously there is any leaking coming from him or the cia. again, it is a the reaction perhaps of a bully with a black eye. we know that trump's sensitivity here is primarily with regard to the legitimacy of his election. so when you poke at that, that's the kind of response that you are going to get. interestingly you don't get a response like that when you start talking about the comments he made with regard to nato and that whole situation, the objects lessens of nato. why would he make comments like that? again the mind begins to boggle as to why these comments are coming out of our future president's mouth. >> that interview was rich. talked about nato, talked about russian sanctions and he talked about germany. our long time friend, key figure in the western allegiance. let me play some of this. this is what mr. trump said when asked who he trusts more, putin or merkel. here he was. >> who do you trust more if you talk to them? merkel or putin? >> well, i'll start off tr

the only silver lining is that john brennan is on his way out.s there any hope of trust coming back between the two people? >> scott: director brennan, can print him, and clearly a rift between the intelligence community empty administration. i think you will find out more about the so-called leak and where it came from. do i think it came from him? no. but to have the direct or threatening the president-elect about doing this, he cannot do this. he cannot tweet. with all due respect, he is the president-elect. he can do whatever he wants. he is going to get briefed. he is going to have the good people around him that are going to obviously raise the bar quite a bit. going a new and different direction where they trust the allies and for a sphere with the post. that is a new direction. it is not a the direction we ae in right now. >> meghan: not just a president questioning the community, i know people all the time they really don't know what to believe anymore. >> harris: we knew right after 9/11 that there was a lot of problem with people talki

and is john brennan a political character?e's an appointee, so by definition, yes, there's a political aspect to his job. is he bitter? no, i don't think he's bitter. i think reince priebus is going out there and being a little bit, you know, involved in hyperbole. john brennan understands he wasn't going to be sticking around, as does the deputy director. but we could have had a smoother handover, i guess, is what i'm saying. i'm hoping for more discipline in the messaging, i'm hoping for more discipline in that communication going forward. i have no doubt that the incoming president respects the work of the cia. it's just right now you wouldn't necessarily know it from sort of the rocky start that we've had. arthel: so do you think the agents there at the cia, do you feel that they would, you know, as you said, they carry on? they're humans but, you know, everybody wants to hear job well done every now and then especially after the president had been admonishing the agents publicly, so you would like more from the president

trump is suggesting that brennan may be behind the leak of that unsubs shated dossier. >> this is the as the backlash intensifies in the feud between the president elect and congressman john lewis. a growing list of democratic lawmakers say they are not going, they are boycotting trump's swearing in. the president elect is also this morning vowing insurance for everybody in a new interview. that's his plan to replace obamacare. how will he do it? we are four days away from inauguration day. we have it all covered. let's begin this morning. >> good morning. donald trump has of course had a fraught relationship with the intelligence community so far but he's kicking it up a notch on twitter going after outgoing cia director john brennan saying was this the leaker of fake news? >> donald trump taking to twitter to suggest that outgoing cia director john brennan leaked unsubstantiated personal and financial information that could be damaging to trump. >> there is no basis for mr. trump to point fingers at the intelligence community for leaking information that was already available public

brennan, welcome back to "fox news sunday" ."nt-elect trump has made it clear as we just discussed that he believes the intelligence community released, put out information about this unverified dossier in order to undercut him. here's what he said at his press conference. >> i think it was disgraceful. disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out. i think it's a disgrace, and i say that and i say that, and that something that germany would have done and did do. >> chris: mr. brennan, your response. >> john: i think is the director of national intelligence that in his statement, this has been circulating for many months. it's not a question of the intelligence community leaking this, it was already out there. >> chris: one of the reasons it happened is because it hadn't been verified and when you briefed the president on it, you collectively briefed the president on it as president-elect, that made it news. >> john: and nothing very ipod. it is unsubstantiated and

john brennan, of course. he says this.gnant. steve: also said he's not the leaker. and former cia guy who says that brennan is blowing it. listen to this, laura. >> what i would say is that trump is right. the fact is in my 40 years of following politics, i have never seen a director of cia attacking a president-elect. john brennan's introduction into this political process damages the long-term interest of the agency. brian: since when do spies have so many press conferences and talk to so many reporters? >> i wouldn't have used the nazi germany line that trump did. i think a lot of these issues don't lend themselves to tweeting. that's not how i would handle it, but that's what he does and that's what he's going to continue to do. but by the same token, brennan still does represent the cia. obviously trump's going to be president at noon on friday. and i am sure the relationship with intelligence community will be improved and there will be a lot more transparency where transparency is possibly with the ci iowa. i have a

what happened here is wholly and tam isly different than the fact that john brennan is not just some guy who is in the twitter sphere this is director of cia what john brennanp told chris wallace yesterday on "fox" news sunday on channel five was in fact in his view as chief intelligence officer in this country he does not view president-elect of the united states has a full understanding and facing to the united states right now. and now on friday in a way this will all change. because when donald trump stands behind us and takes it both of office john brennan will be out as cia director and mike pompeo the selection of trump team will be in. now it's also important to note that in these confirmation hearings we had of trump appoint hes rex tiller son or general james matt is or pompeo and they seem to be in with what clapper is saying now and director of cia is saying now. there's a disconnect here. and whether or not this plays out in twitter is are or whether this plays out in the situation room of the white house right now is unclear. but i don't think we've ever seen this. i do

director brennan talked about that.t to play a bit of what he said yesterday. >> bringing to the attention of the president-elect as well as to the current president this information is circulating out there was a responsibility in the minds of the intelligence directors of the intelligence community to make sure there would be no evaluation of it but making sure he was aware it was circulating. >> shannon: is that fair? if somebody is spreading rumors about you out there and one of your good friends hears about it don't you want them to tell you? >> john brennan is acting like they were doing him a favor. the reality is that in this type of setting when we talk about serious intelligence and the russians interfering in the 2016 presidential election, there are very serious questions about why the intelligence chiefs would present information that wasn't verified intelligence but rather rumors. if we're going to present that as rumors they should present it in a private setting not something that would put it into the p

last night, brennan pushed back.e refuted the idea that he leaked the document in an interview with the wall street journal. he wenten to say more, quote, it's when there are allegations about leaking or dishonesty or a lack of integrity. that's where i think the line has crossed. and he was pretty upset about that. and today vladimir putin added fuel to the fire. he says the obama administration is going further and is trying to undermine the legitimacy of trump's presidency. democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia sits on the senate intel committee and joins me now. senator manchin, let me ask you your assessment of john brennan and donald trump right now. >> well basically -- this is just something that's uncalled for to go back and forth on this. i trust our intel community. can we get better, sure? do we make mistakes, i'm sure they are. intentionally? no, i trust them. national security is in their hands. for us to have the information accurately and promptly in order to take care and defend our country
