director clapper: i hope so. in the face of what the chinese and russians have embarked on, a very aggressive, impressive space capabilities and counterspace capabilities, that if we are going to continue to operate in that domain, which i think we must, the investments that we have begun and laid out over the future will lead to be sustained, and it's hard for me to imagine that any administration would not see the merit of sustaining it. chair long: i think many in this room would certainly agree, particularly with our increased need. one of our tracks today is about acquisition services, acquisition management, acquisition reform. how do you think we are doing in the intelligence community if you had to give us a score on a scorecard? are there specific rules, regulations, policies that hamper our ability to procure the services and things that we need? thinkor clapper: well, i first of all we are doing pretty .ell in the i.c. we have something on the order of 20 major systems acquisitions , 17 in a row.. for

clapper: thanks, john. thanks for the honor of being on stage with you for the second time since i was invited to participate as well in the rollout at the johnson library. so it is a real honor to be with my close friend and great professional colleague, john brennan. who i believe is going to go down as one of a hand all, and don't use all your fingers, of the most outstanding directors of cia in its history. personal note on these two events, they actually book ended my tors in southeast asia, with the vietnam in 1955-66, and 1970-71, flying reconnaissance missions over cambodia. in both occasions, i didn't know there was a pdb. reading through the contemporary pdb's, i understood what a very small cog i was in a large war effort. during the course of the tour -- is going to be spectacular, i think. i had a bar graph, a line graph, on the number of troops deployed on southeast asia. that was a reminder. in 1971, 300,000 people in southeast asia, and i was one of those. that is to put in perspective where

clapper: i do. there's a lot of controversy, but i think he is, you know -- has a vision for the future of saudi arabia, and i think he's committed to reforming its economy, so it's not so dependent on one source of revenue. i think he has in mind a lot of other reforms he'd like to make in saudi -- and he's an example of this younger generation that's not without controversy. there's controversy about him certainly in saudi arabia, but the last time i met with him i was genuinely impressed with his vision and his commitment to it. >> if anyone in the audience doesn't know who director clapper is talking about, this is the deputy crown prince, this 30-year-old. so we invited people to submit questions online. there's still time to do it. the hashtag is securing tomorrow. i just want to turn to one or two of these, mr. director, and ask you. here's an interesting question. it's one i've puzzled about over the years. i'll just read it out. why doesn't the u.s. and its al lies use their intelligence to

there's help on the other side, but we are very pleased to have director clapper here. just to expand on what fred ryan said in introducing director clapper, he is a rare person in our government. he has been an intelligence officer for 50 years. he has served -- he has run an intelligence agency. he's directed intelligence in the defense department, and now as dni he's basically the nation's top intelligence officer. i have had a chance over the last few years to come visit director clapper and talk with him on the record and ask him questions, and he has been, as you know, if you've read some articles, direct, blunt, sometimes undiplomatic, but he either gives an honest answer, he says i just can't talk about that, so it's really a pleasure to have you here. thanks for doing this. there are a lot of issues obviously that are in the news, and i want to start off with some newsworthy subjects. there is a report that has been moving this afternoon on cnn that says that this really dreadful attack on the u.n. aid convey to the west of aleppo on monday may have been a resu

clapper quoted the presidenting a says, the experts have attributed this dnc hack to russians and add the rescue hack our systems all the time, not just government but corporate and personal systems. the "new york times" reported intelligence community has concluded with high confidence that the russians are behind this. would you dispute that -- >> i dispute "the new york times"? >> it's not just been reported in "the new york times." it's been reported in many media outlets. this is the view of the ic. the president seems to be signaling this through, saying this is what the private experts are saying. >> i would remind people this is a much broader policy dialogue. we're intelligence professionals would nor policy professionals. we attempt to generate insight to characterize activity that helps inform the policymaking process so our political leaders can make -- and our military commanders can make smarter decisions. what you have seen is there's not a one-size-fits all. where we are today, there's no one sites all approach to this. so we look at every situation on the basis of the

director clapper: sleep. chair long: i think mrs. clapper might have some other ideas. clapper: a few days at the gym, plan to lose about 15 pounds, and sleep. that's all i have in mind right now. director clapper: thank you very much for your service. i will tell you almost every question here actually had that at the bottom, after the question, "thank you for your service." we are so fortunate to have you leading our community, for you to have agreed to stay on through this entire administration, and we look forward to your advice, to your successor, and we look forward to inviting you back in any capacity, said thank you very much. -- so thank you very much. and if you could get up for a picture. [applause] chair long: good job. intentional" live every day with news and policy issues that impact you. coming up sunday morning, opening the phone lines and s, and your calls, text tweets reflecting on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. c-span's "edgington journal -- ,"span's "washington journal joined the discussion. >> c-span, created by america's television companies

clapper seemed to minimize backed russian, the dnc that raises money for the clinton foundation. he said this targeting by moscow predates the current election cycle. >> the russians hack our systems all the time, not just government but corporate systems, so do the chinese and others, including nonstate actors. the point is cyber will continue to be a huge problem for the next presidential administration as it has been a challenge for this one. >> on isis, clapper says he is confident the current campaign will eventually suppress the terror group but did predict other extremist groups will likely take its place. >> trump talked about 30 days to wipe out isis. did the director give any -- >> not that i recall, but he rent campaign would be successful reaching its target. critics say it has not made the kind of progress it needs to because in the end, you have to take back the real estate in syria and iraq. >> the question is how long before we are successful. as he says. catherine herridge, thank you. >> you're welcome. >>> national security is the theme for today. we are awaitin

clapper jr. >> i'll move it out of the way. >> i might use it. >> then you'll be really high. for those that you couldn't see, there was a footstool here for tisch, so she could see over the podium. i was thinking maybe i should use it too. one thing i want to do before i start is recognize an old friend, colleague, who has served with great distinction in afcea is steve richey. please stand. i would like to recognize your tremendous service. when i was president of sasa, the predecessor of nsa in the 1990s and i tried to promote a combined symposium with afcea but could never pull it off. so this event now marks the third year in a row for this joint summit. so i want to congratulate everyone who is involved in both organizations. afcea and nsa, and putting these things on and now they are becoming accustomed. so it proves that over time, things do change. but i think it is clearly an idea we can safely say it is an idea whose time has really come and that you have made it stick. this has also been for me a very useful forum to convey messages and roll out afcea-wide initiati

. >>> james clapper is addressing the security about the up coming election.ge in administration is a volatile time and his message to americans is not to worry. >> i know a lot of people have been feeling uncertainty about what will happen with the presidential transition. been a lot of catastrophizing. i'm here with a message. >> he can use whatever term he wants. clapper says whoever is president will face the most diverse global threats he has ever seen. >>> we will get an early start on your money next. >>> and we are awaiting president obama's news conference. he will walk up on the stage shortly and take questions. he is on an overseas trip to laos. he is expected to respond to the latest round of comments and accusations and questions and answers in the latest u.s. presidential race. stick around. >>> all right. we are awaiting on president obama. he will hold a news conference any minute. he is traveling overseas. he is finishing up the systemumn laos. we expect he will be asked about the u.s. presidential race. there was a national security forum her

(james clapper/director of national intelligence) "they see a u-s conspiracy behind every bush. they believe that we are trying to influence political response is to retaliate." ((paul joncich)) >>> last night's debate continues to be a talker on social media... and many of our viewers are sounding off with their opinions of last week's debate. kristin writes... she killed it...even the republican strategists say so. she was calm and cool and smart, he was rambling, fidgeting, and drinking gallons of water like a rv >> stephanie wrote... i'm still voting trump she lies she's got blood on her hands and she was drugged to hide her medical issues. wake up she's just a reoccurrence of obummer and he has ruined everything about this country adam responded... give obama another term and find two other candidates our country is in bad shape and these two are going to make it worse. i can not believe that these are the only2 we have to run this country. (( paul joncich )) many other's wished the alternative party candidates could have taken part. and some even called for instant ((denis

james clapper tells me it's an untested capability because they haven't proven it but they've certainly been trying. we've seen they have the ability to launch short and medium range missil missiles. they're launching those every week. they've done a space shot. that's nothing to do with exploring the moon or going to mars. that's about developing an icbm. the own part of that they haven't proven is developing a reentry vehicle that could take a nuclear war head to the united states. but the u.s. intelligence says we have to assume they have that capability. >> listen to this. >> just today it was announced that north korea performed its fifth nuclear test, its fourth since hillary clinton became secretary of state. it's just one more massive failure from a failed secretary of state. >> admiral, let look at the time line here. the first test was during the bush administration and secretary of state was condoleezza rice, the next was in 2009, hillary clinton was secretary of state and then the next were when john kerry was secretary of state. is it right to blame hillary clinton for this

washington proposed that james clapper is heading up the effort. this comes up after a series of high profile hacks into parties service in the state election systems including ours here in arizona. russia has denied any involvement in those computer trump are laboring on the campaign trail today. both nominees are focusing on ohio. as mark albert reports on the candidates, the controversy still brewing that both are still trying to shake off.>> reporter: hillary clinton welcome to reporters aboard her campaign's new airplane as she headed to a labor day rally in cleveland . >> we're going to say yes to standing up for workers rights, yes to good jobs and benefits, yes to the >> reporter: donald trump was also in cleveland meeting boaters at eight diner and talking with labor leaders . he says he is the only candidate who can save american jobs moving overseas . >> we will get our jobs back.>> there are just two months left in this campaign and both candidates are trying to shake clinton leads by eight points in pennsylvania and four pointed north

so clapper, comey, brennan, if you look at the names, stein beck, mcall, all said isis will infiltrateump is listening and saying, okay, if they're going to infiltrate we better vet them. why are hillary clinton and barak obama willing to gamble with the lives of americans, because that's what they're doing? why would they be willing to do that? >> it is part of their ideology, sean. remember, these are people shaped by the one world, multiculturalism. these are post-modern secularists. they think it is unfair to close our borders. we had the former secretary of homeland security state recently that our borders should be porous, there should be no such thing as anti-borders. it is not about national security, sean, it is about ideology. it is about one-world multiculturalism. >> what is ideology except if you don't listen to these top intelligence officials saying, yeah, isis will infiltrate, then if they come in and they kill americans, then don't you bear part of the responsibility for those americans that are victims of whatever terror attack they bring with them? >> as we've discus

clapper. he recently retired as a spokesman for the fbi and served as a special agent for decades. >> thanks for joining us. one thing that stands out about this is just how quickly this all unfolded. did that streisand yurprise you? >> not at all. the new york city police department working with the jttf, once they got the forensic evidence, that was key. the tips that came in, they were able to identify him and then locate him. so i'm not surprised at all, based on the totality of the investigation, and the attention that was paid by the investigators. >> when you look into the background of the suspect, we know he's traveled to pakistan and possibly afghanistan in recent years. he was on the government's radar -- was he, rather, on the government's radar or any type of watch list? >> not that i'm aware.÷ejuáz ev he did travel back to afghanistan, his birthplace. it would be normal to be interviewed on his return, coming back into the country, through customs and immigration. apparently ther

next, a discussion with cia director john's brennan and james clapper.on foundation hosted the event. it is an hour and a half.

and i think jim clapper has done a tremendous job, because he is focused on what the mission of that office is, which has been to integrate. that has been his kind of watch word and his mission. and i see under his leadership and his team a real value. when they come to the situation room table, we ask the dni for what is that community view. and i rely on it when i chair meetings of the deputies committee, or in my case, of the principals committee of the homeland security council. and the fact that there's one place to look and say give me the community view, the best judgment of the entire intelligence apparatus, there's real value to the policymaker in getting that. >> all right, lisa monaco, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism. thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. >> please welcome back to the stage "atlantic live" president margaret low. >> thank you, lisa monaco, mary louise. it was an incredible way to end the day, hearing about the presidential daily briefing and the expanding dimensions of what that requires. we actuall

you speak to the director ofs in intelligence, james clapper, director of the cia, brennan, you ask themt are the number one threats to u.s. national security they put russia and china at the top, above director clapper calls russia an existential threat to the u.s. because oftion nuclear power and its military moves in recent years. invading ukraine, annexing crimea, challenging america's nuclear sub force, putting planes, ships and submarines close not just to u.s. naval and military forces abroad, these fly-byes that weigh talk about and report on, but on the coast of the united states. you speak to people in the security establishment, this is not just an uncomfortable or impolite issue, it is a dangerous issue when they look at russia. >> one quick question for juliette kayyem. well, maybe two. maybe as jill said, why won't this go away, because it sounds good, he can use it as rhetoric on the campaign trail. but does russia really have a big isis problem? >> the former soviet republics, people are being radicalized. if you think what's the issue with russia, isis does not come to m

james clapper from several years ago talked about what we are looking at.admiral hayny testified before this committee. we are not meeting the critical investment time lines to ensure our agent platforms and weapons to maintain superiority. we heard from admiral winfield last year for the house committee when he talked about remaining margin we have for investing in nuclear deterrent. we hear this all the time, then have the non-public meetings, we hear it worse. chairman referred to that. so, i just look at this and i know that we are concerned when we talk about china and russia. but, i personally get more concerned on what you touched on, north korea an iran. these people, they want to kill everyone in this room. in the case of north korea, it's run by a guy that is mentally deranged. this is scary. you are getting into the toughest job in the united states of america right now. i'm very much concerned about it. we know that russia and china are actively modernizing their nuclear weapons and delivery systems. north korea continues to develop land and lau

director of national intelligence james clapper spoke at an intelligent and national security summit, discussing the role of the intelligence community during presidential transition. he also provided some insight on the intelligence briefings being provided to hillary clinton and donald trump. he discussed cyber security, combating isis, classified information roles, and intelligence sharing. this is one hour. >> good morning, everyone. i will tell you, it's a little tough to hear backstage, but i did hear hokey football. come on, let's go! we've got a few in the crowd there. a big thank you to maureen and scott. i will tell you, i and delighted to be here today and i am so pleased to see the partnership continue to grow. .t really is thriving the summit offers a great service to the intelligence community, to our industry partners, the press, and, of course, the public. like this play an important role in fostering a dialogue, so i want to

please join me in a very warm welcome for the director of national intelligence james clapper junior. [applause]not see there was a footstool here and maybe i should use it, too. i want to recognize an old friend and colleague who served. where are you, pleas please stay would like to recognize yourlau] tremendous service. [applause] i was the predecessor in the 1990s and i tried to promote a symposium this event now works the 30 year narrow for the joint summit, so i want to congratulate everyone who was involved in both organizations and has seen this and is putting these things on and now they are becoming accustomed.ov it proves that over time things do change but i think that it is an idea and you've made it stick. this has also been for me a useful form to convey messages and rollout the initiatives. i ruled out the national intelligence strategy which included the principles of ethics and last year ruled out the transparency working group that is prone to counsel so this year i realized the only thing rolling out the door in the next four months thursday. i thought i would talk

so jim clapper's departure is one that is something that is concerns to me. but the same type of presentation to the new administration, doing that to the director of national intelligence, what it is we need to continue to do to keep this country safe. >> will you stay on if asked? >> i have a daily contract with this president, next president and my wife. >> in that order? [ laughter ] >> that's a good point. my wife, the president, next president. i have the best job in the world bar none. this is truly a tremendous honor for somebody who started his professional life at cia to have the honor of being referred to as the director of cia. so this is my last job in government this is a rather liberating feeling knowing that i will not have to go through once again the character building experience of senate confirmati confirmation. it is liberating. >> director comey, you're going to be in this job for a while? >> i'm stuck in a dead-end job.

recently, director of of national intelligence james clapper also cited a long history of russia's efforts to influence elections abroad. the director said that russia's apparent efforts to compromise u.s. elections should not come as a big shock to people, but it tends to influence the outcome of our elections and not just limited to foreign government. according to law-enforcement and the fbi, cyber attacks in august against voter registration databases in my state of illinois and arizona were most likely criminally motivated, possibly targeting voters personally identifiable information. to know that my own state suffered this attack is extremely troubling not only because of the threat of identity theft but because of what hackers do once i have access to that database. for example, perhaps they could change of voters list a party affiliation in a way that affects primary election. or perhaps perhaps they modify voter addresses to invalidate registration. we must address these questions and do absolutely everything we can to defend our future attacks. in today's today's hearing we will

that is ryan clapper put that on my facebook page today. i tweeted that i think on sunday the next home game which is against the broncos that could up high clouds in the distance. the west wind today. and the storms inland and heavy rain underway now in highlands county. and the visible loop looks like the clouds are going away. >> and and west as well. >> and now and most of sarasota is dry. lake placid has rain and down by palmdale. sebring has storms but they are weakening. the motion is slow. and bartow and auburndale. the average high is 88. 74 degrees. this is going to be watching this another 9 to 13 days. not hitting florida. this is tough. >> you have a and heading for the sea. it matters how it is over the united states. and if the trough is deep enough it will move east of us. we'll see if that is going to happen. it is tough to make that prediction. you have to wait t is too far chance will be a big impact the models show a dramatic a turn and then it is back to the west. but that far out you just cannot buy into it yet. the de

james clapper says cyber security will continue to be in his words a huge problem for the next president. he did not comment on whether the russian government is responsible for recent reaches against the democratic national committee and other political organizations. donald trump proposing an increase in military's vending on personnel. the republican presidential nominee laid out his lands in this in philadelphia, asking congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester that has reduced the military budget. he also wants an active army of i've hundred 30,000. and maybe approaching 350 ships , and an air force of at least 1200 fighter planes. trespassing and vandalism charges in north dakota. accused of spray painting construction equipment during a protest against the defoe that -- the judge has temporary stopped construction on some of the nearly or billion dollar for state highflying. saying this would violate sacred -- culturally sensitive lands. people are in custody after gas canisters were to ever did set a in notre dame, paris. no detonators were located in the vehicle. dayal n

clapper may have some ideas. >> i will start going to the gym. i plan to lose about 15 pounds and sleep. that's all i have in mind right now. >> thank you very much for your service. i will tell you almost every question in here actually has that at the bottom after the question, it was, thank you for your service. to have younate leaving our community, for you to have agreed to stay on through on -- through this entire administration. we look forward to your advice to your successor, and we look forward to inviting you back in any capacity, so thank you very much.

just after these revelations came out, right now the government said in a case called clapper, the supremecourt that clapper did not have standing to challenge 702 because he couldn't show he was under surveillance by the government. the solicitor general had represented during oral arguments that if the government played somebody under surveillance using section 702, they would be told during the trial. thousand 2013 before the documents came out. six months later 702 is released and it turns out people are not being told when section seven of two data is used in the trial which is why challenge the number earlier because there's so much we don't know. the fbi continues to refuse to release the definition of what to write for an information. you kind of don't know if the governments using this information again to you. we need more transparent the issues and how we want to protect privacy in our lives. >> to have a yes or no question? yes.

that's a great shot from ryan clapper which the game ended on a better note. popcorn clouds popping up today in frost proof. from neil byrd. nice sunset tonight. rob craig at crystal beach. an elegant sunset on the egan causeway. janet ward. nicely done. a lot of talk about it. first things first. west wind in play today. strong enough to push any pretty busy today in highlands county. the west wind continues and there's energy in the gulf. you can see way over here some showers could bump on shore later tonight especially north of tampa bay. then they jump to the east coast by tomorrow afternoon. another day back up near 90. we hit 90. 90 for the high. story degrees the morning low. there's still the tropical wave which is approaching the lesser antilles. once it goes west, it's in caribbean sea. hurricane hunter plane that has zig sdagd over the system today did not find a closed circulation. however by this time tomorrow, we're probably looking at td number 14. that eventually tropical storm matthew. 90 percent chance of developing between now and thursday.

comey, clapper, brennan, stein beck, mccall, general allen, all say isis will infiltrate.istening to comey that dire warning, how does that not come up in a debate? >> you would have to ask lester holt. so many things didn't come up on the debate. think about the fact that donald trump is the republican candidate and he basically became the republican candidate because of his southern border and immigration platform. it wasn't discussed. we know the bad guys have infiltrated europe as refugees. as false refugees. we are a christian nation, sean. we help those in trouble. >> but there were terrible deeds done in the name of christ. oh, that's what obama says, sorry. as he talks about all of the benefits and blessings of islam and won't talk about radical islam. but it is not a joke. because this, it reminds me of preseptember 11th. the embassy bombings in kenya, tanzania, uss cole, first trade center bombing. all leading to what happened on 9/11. i'm listening to comey. are we going to have another 9/11 style event or bigger on american soil. then look back at ft. hood and

is a covert russian campaign is being coordinated by the director of national intelligence, james clapper who has yet to comment on the probe. but a senior us intelligence official has told the washington post russia's activity is something we're looking very closely at. tampering has been found, even the hans of tampering our system would be of concern. president obama addressed the subject directly with put in at the g20 summit this week in china.na. mr. obama said the united states didn't want to encourage in soe wild west cyber war with months could he and warned neither should the gremlin. our goal is not to suddenly in the cyber arena duplicate a cycle of escalation that we saw when it comes to other arms raises in the past. but rather to start institutingi some norms so that everybody is acting responsibility. i thinkact the area a of recesss over. we tried it for the last eight years. it didn't work. whoever becomes the nextomes president is going to have to try something new and it shouldn't start with a reset ut bloomfield interview you saw there with vladimir putin. he was aske
