in brennan's case that putin could blackmail trump and in clapper's case that clapper's interference won the election to trump." senior intelligence officers know we speculate at our own peril.tr joining us now with reaction is lee smith, the real clear investigation reporter who wrote that piece. we're joined by former cia covert ops operator baker and "wall street "wall street [ indiscernible ] >> it seems a lot of conservative have seen what happened to john brennan and a lesser extent to james clapper. what else did you find in your reporting? >> there's a number of different things going on here. one of the key things is is that the american public is losing their con stannance right now when they see former intelligence chiefs like john brennan and james clapper get to tv and talk about the president. it enhances the idea and encourages the idea as president trump has said that these guys were up to no good that brennan and clapper as well as othersrs including james comey and other intelligence officials were up to no good. >> laura: and there's a couple of moments over the la

director clapper, what do all of these people have in common? >> well, i think they've either been outspoken about the administration, or have directly run afoul of it. and taken actions that were against president trump's interests. so i guess that's what we all have in common. >> okay. james clapper, thank you for hopping on the phone with me so much. former director of national intelligence responding to this headline out of the white house briefing today, that the president has officially revoked john brennan, former cia chief's, security clearance with, according to this white house, with more actions like that on the way. kaitlan collins is our white house reporter, live for us right now. and kaitlan, i understand andy mccabe's attorney is responding to this news. what is he or she saying? >> reporter: andrew mccabe's attorney, melissa schwartz, tweeted out a statement pretty quickly, just now saying that andrew mccabe's security clearance was deactivated when he was fired, according to what they were told was fbi policy. she goes on to sa

clapper lied under oath. susan rice lied five times, and you can go count list. mccomey fired, gates fired, all but strzok have been fired. i don't even know why it's a debate. why do they have it in the first place if they have left government. take their clearances away from them. that makes sense. kennedy: at the top of the show i was talking to shannon bream about a lawsuit brennan might bring. she said at some point it might be defamation. yawn brennan said the president was treasonous. the comments were questionable that were delivered standing next to vladimir putin. to a lot of people they were offensive. but that am not treason. one of the penalties for treason is death. is john brennan calling for the president's demise? >> john brennan is saying crazy things. even james clapper says brennan is saying things he shouldn't say. he could bring any lawsuit he wants. i don't think he'll be successful by any stretch of the imagination. as i said, you go down that list be clapper, rice, comey, mccabe, yate

you look at james clapper there, 47 years going back to the vietnam war. michael hayden, nearly 40 years. brennan in the cia for 25 years. is this consequential for the intelligence community, for them, to lose this eligibility for access? >> well, certainly it is because, jim, when you think about it, what if the current cia director wants to call john brennan saying, hey, you were dealing with an issue while you were cia director and i need to talk to you about this. it's a classified matter. secret matter. he now cannot talk to her about that matter. and the case of the former dni director james clapper, he said on our air around 3:00 that he has talked to former white house officials. this now does not essentially allow these people in the case of the former cia director john brennan to have the classified secret conversations with current officials. they may want to bring him in for expertise on any number of issues and that's where the consequence could be in terms of a national security level, certainly in the current administration. >> you know wha

. >> james clapper. james comey. michael hayden. sally yates. susan rice. andrew mccabe. peter strzok. lisa page. bruce orr. >> what do those people have in common? all of them have been targets of trump's public ire, or they've criticized trump, or both. not on the list? fired national security adviser michael flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his conversations with ambassador kislyak. and take another page out of a dictator's playbook. president trump seems to be trying here to manipulate the news cycle. we see you. take a look at his statements as it was sent out today, clearly dated july 26th, 2018. that's three days after the white house first said the president was considering the move. so why would they sit on this for nearly three weeks? and why release it today? well, the white house aide claims it's nothing but a cut and paste error. would versus wouldn't. a cut and paste error. the president tells "the wall street journal" he was prepared to do it last week but it was in his words, it was too hectic. he was on vacation last week. but you've go

clapper himself, 50 years. this goes back to the vietnam war.es brennan -- john brennan, rather, was in the cia for 25 years. he was for a time the senior counterterrorism adviser to this president. the reason those officials keep their security clearances after they leave office is so that they can be consulted when there are issues of national security before an administration. for instance, a terror attack or trying to judge a nuclear agreement with north korea, et cetera. and there are reasons why officials at that level keep those security clearances so they can be consulted and be up to date on the latest intelligence. so this is truly a remarkable decision by this president. and, again, to do so without consulting his senior-most intelligence advisers. >> so -- >> the same dni we should add, consulted about the invitation of putin -- >> helsinki. >> the white house. so i'm not sure -- dan coats seems to be out of the loop. but i think jim is totally right. clearly, it points to the fact about what a political decision this is. listen, bro

jim clapper is on that long most unwanted list. could he be next? the former dni is here with his concerns. this is dangerous, no question about it. bad for you and for me. and most of all, remember this, it's a distraction. and it won't work here. trump wants to get away from the talk about his treatment of people of color. but it's too important to deflect. so we have one of omarosa's fellow "apprentice" alums joining us. has she ever heard the president say the n word? what do you say? let's get after it. a little context. you know how i say here from time to time what we ignore we empower? well, here we go. paul ryan and other gop big shots all told us trump was just trolling us when he threatened to pull security clearances from intel chiefs that he didn't like. that would be too reckless, too petty. he wouldn't do that. he did. he pulled the clearance from the former top spy for the united states of america, cia chief john brennan. and the white house has a list of nine others who could be next. those are names that conveniently double as a li

this morning the president is suggesting james clapper is "being nice" to keep his security clearanceis that it? be nice to the president and keep your clearance? hours earlier the president reacted to a clip between phil mudd facing off with paris dennard. the president called mudd "unglued" "weird" and asked if mudd should have his clearance pulled after mudd took offense that-to-the notion he profits off that clearance. watch this. >> let me ask you one question. how much do you think i'm paid to do that at the request of the u.s. government? give me one answer and you have ten seconds? how much? >> i'll ask you a question. how much are you -- >> answer the question. >> -- for contracting -- >> we're done. we're done. get out. >> let's discuss with cnn political analyst margaret evan and kaitlin huey burns. that was a wild raucous debate and goes to the heart of this, whether it's actually profiting from, what the u.s. and the utility of these security clearances are to the intel. here's what the president wrote "even james clapper had to ammonish general bran unanimous for going t

this is going to end up being -- thisis clapper thing is like ross perot.eople voted for trump because they want somebody to make business,n like a make this country a business, not political. take all the politics out. this went back to hillary, uranium, all the crooked deals there. plan.ad a very methodical if you can't just use common --se -- i'm not political you have to look at the facts of this. -- alls going to end up these people will end up getting rid of all of their security clearances. obama somehow is going to be tied into this in the next year and this will end up being one of the biggest things in the history of our country. is only thing i have to say -- a friend of mine told me this is not going to be pretty. thank you. host: let's go to freddie calling from detroit -- from los angeles, california on the republican line. caller: good morning. thanks for having me. the people make a good point when they say this is unprecedented. it is unprecedented for former cia directors to be so outspoken in politics to call the president treasonous. you

clapper, bruce ohr, james comey.he context though with ruth or, you do not find that -- it's before the election. by the way, one other thing, the house will have the former cia director disseminating lie's! unverified lies to the american people! vis-a-vis harry reid! that's not the role of the cia, professor. >> that's a scary -- i agree. he should be criticized for it. i know john brennan. i like him. i thought he was a good director of the cia. but i think he's gone overboard in his criticism. it makes it sound when he makes criticism that he knows it because he was in the cia, he has some special information. i think a former director of the cia has to be much more discreet in his level of criticism. having said that, i do think if the president denies security clearance only to his critics, he will be in court on the wrong side -- >> sean: by the way, i have an update. >> the aclu will bring a lawsuit. >> sean: on the security clearances, i put a republican list that they were incompetent or crazy, well said. >

clapper, thank you for being with us. we know more now about why they revoked john brennan's security clearance and why he is threatening to revoke yours. he tells us, and he said these works out loud, because of your involvement in the russian investigation. he says i call it the rigged witch hunt, it is a sham and these people lead it. something had to be done, but your size -- >> this admission, first of all, they were involved in the assessment that was published on january 2017. and what we focused on the russian meddling has been continued today. here you can be in compliance with the then president of the united states to put into a document our insight and knowledge of profound threat that russia posed to this country. there was something to be clear, nothing in that community assessment that said anything about solution. now it is true that that tleleao a sequence of events. as to collusion, i have learned some things as has john about that although from a legal standpoint, i think that is yet to be proven. you w

. >> james clapper who some of accused of misleading congressional lawmakers about the nsa's warrantless surveillance program is among those whose clearance is under review. >> it is unprecedented. i don't know of a case where this has ever been done in the past. access to clearances normally would be done completely by a sponsoring agency. >> we have just seen a tweet from mr. brennan not long ago. he is calling the president's

michael hayden, james clapper have all said they don't think the country will suffer terribly much from them not having top secret clearance. >> i think that's right. look, that is -- as jim clapper said, the republic won't rise or fall on whether any one individual has their security clearance but what will damage the republic is the president and the administration in an effort to silence political critics by using the levers of state power. that's unpres dentcedented. the parallels are being drown to the nixonian enemies list but at least that was being done behind closed doors until it was exposed in the watergate process. >> there's no ambiguity give on the what the president told the "wall street journal." he said something that had to be done because they were behind the russia information. no ambiguity. as you said, lisa, it hasn't had the immediate impact perhaps that the president was hoping for which was silenting john brennan because he wrote this blistering op-ed in the "new york times" where he says the president's claims of no collusion are hogwash. let me read you a bit

we start with james clapper. he should be stripped of the security clearance as soon as humanly possible. he like brennan misuses his clearance to validate and also monetize his hatred of president trump every time he is on tv. brennan on conspiracy tv msnbc. clapper doing the same thing on fake news cnn. take a look. >> the value standards, the institutions that i and others spent the major part of our professional lives defending and upholding are under assault by our very own president. >> i really do wonder whether the russians have something on him. >> i really question his ability to, his fitness to be in this office. and i also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it. >> this past weekend is illustrative a great case manager vladimir putin is. >> sean: that is not the only reason that clapper should forfeit the clearance. before his time at fake news cnn serving as the director of national intelligence, clapper was accused of leaking secret information to cnn, the company that employs him now. d

james clapper committed perjury. to the american people and senator wyden and that committee, a long time ago, his security clearance should have been pulled.d. bruce ohr, another one. pulled! sally yates, another one, not just because the president has a problem with democrats or liberals, he has a problem with these people. we haven't got to the unmasking issue yet. this is not a first amendment issue. meanwhile -- meanwhile! when these people have security clearances, what the hell did they do with them? well, let's take a look. the russians interfered in our election, right? who was president, who was head of the cia, who was national security advisor, who was head of the fbi? all of these people with their security clearances in d positions of power didid nothing effective to stop the russians from interfering or in election! they did nothing to stop china from stealing our technology! they did nothing to stopur north korea's nuclear program! even worse, they awarded the islamo- hold it, mark, the terrorist regi

sean, you worked with james clapper. when you hear about what micro so soft has flagged, there was another attempted hacking attack on these various websites. interestingly, fancy bear, which is what one of these hacking -- russian hacking organizations calls themselves, this is one of the organizations that was indicted by robert mueller. they don't seem to have been cowed by this since they're still attempted the same level of attacks. so where do you think we are? >> right. that's what the intelligence community has been saying for a long time with regard to whether or not we were going to see this again. look, this is completely consistent with what the intelligence community saw leading up to the 2016 presidential election where we saw russia focus most of their efforts on probing and attempting to infiltrate systems on the democratic side, but we know that they were doing it for two different reasons. i think this is real interesting because what we're seeing here is a spear fishing effort attempting to get inside

. >> james clapper is target ed b the president in a tweet this morning, even clapper has admonished for having gone totally off the rails. maybe clapper is being nice to me so he doesn't lose his security clearance. a lot conflated in there and a personal attack and misstating what clapper said. i think clapper was among those who perhaps would not have joined the "treasonous" adjective that was used by brennan after helsinki. >> there's a lot of misdirected focus on, you know, the specific comments that john brennan may have made or that others may have made. the issue here i think fundamentally is that you have a president who is abusing his power, who is using a national security tool that has never been something that was politicized previously, and using that in a way to try to punish critics, punish those who upset him in some fashion, whether it's john brennan, whether it's mike hayden, whether it's bruce ohr. you see the president withdrawing security clearances or threatening to withdraw because of sort of petty partisan and personal interests. we've never seen that before.

i am evaluating actions with respect to the following individual, james clapper, james comey and michael hayden and sally yates, peter strzok and lisa page. >> not only are they all trump critics, some of those under evaluations are closely tied to the investigation. dan coats was not aware in advance of today's announcement nor were other senior intelligence officials. the white house was asked for evidence that john brennan had actually somehow abused his clearance but declined to provide any. >> does this administration have any reasons to believe or evidence suggest that brennan has used misused classified information? >> i laid out the reasons that was made in this particular instance. we'll continue to review it. >> you did not say anything, you did not find any evidence. >> i am telling you what the decision was based on in this case. >> today's statement pulling brennan's security clearance was dated july 26. it was a big indicator standing that i on the skids and it was ready for weeks and pulled out just today. john brennan is one of the stone cold faces in the photo taken on t

clapper has said the same thing. how likely is it, do you think, that the president will do to them what he did to john bren n brennan? >> i think it's a possibility he'll continue to hang over people's heads, including people that don't have their clearance anymore. again, i mentioned the keystone cops a speck of this in the previous block which clouds this issue. but it is aimed at trying. it is supposed to be an anvil hanging over people's heads. i might do this, i might not, so you are should just be careful. since only i, the president know where this line is and there is no process, if you cross it, i will know. so you should be afraid of that. paul ryan, when the president first started this about the clearances a couple of weeks ago, the house speaker said that he thought the president was, and i quote, trolling people with this, in other words, trying to provoke a reaction. wasn't really serious. as we know over and over, what donald trump says gets dismissed as that's just how he talks or wait until he asks

he doesn't consult with jim clapper about this. to me, this is like, so sad and so authoritarian and yet i suppose his supporters will save big deal. >> jesse: i think you meant coats. dan coats. dana, is this where? >> dana: it's not an exaggeration to say it is unprecedented. as the judge said, the president does have the right to make this decision. i look at it this way. why today? how do you solve a problem like omarosa. by having something to lead with today. this document is dated july 26. they didn't change it when they release too. they've been holding onto it, may view because of brennan's comments last night on msnbc. they decided it was the last straw decided to move forward. but he did provide the white house a way to prove it to the story they want to talk about, and that is this issue. it's very clever, the use of the word erratic. it's not just a word they pick out of thin air. erratic is one of the words that you are asked about when you are going three clearance or when your friends and colleagues, former work ass

clapper, comey, mccabe. we have to review all of them and they should be gone. charles: fox news, one of the pieces of news was that bruce ohr wrote christopher steele after the firing of james comey saying he was afraid the anti-trump russia probe will be exposed. some are saying if you remove his security clearance he can't do the job he's in right now. >> he shouldn't have the job he has right now. he should be fired. he should haven't been there after we learned about his anti-trump text. if you look at how the intelligence community has behaved. list they serve and they might go and tv and given tell jones about the intelligence community, but they don't actively bash the current administration. this is unseen territory. it's not because you work for president obama you should lose your security clearance. it's that you are misusing that information. and undermining the administration. charles: we know the pay is not necessarily that great, but you shouldn't take these liberties to suggest, i have got the inside scoop and conflate it with personal opinions

is genuine concern about the jeopardy or threats to our institutions and values. >> reporter: now, clapper is among those whose security clearances may soon be revoked by president trump. john bolton today said that it was senator rand paul who suggested brennan's clearance be revoked and the president agreed. >> errol, looking ahead at the midterm elections, cbs news has a new battle ground tracker out today. what's the headline there? >> reporter: well, that the midterm election math just got more ominous for president trump, and that's because our latest polling shows democrats have a slight edge in taking back the majority in the house. that would, of course, give them authority to cherokee committees and compel trump officials to testify under oath, and fueling democratic enthusiasm is women, telling cbs news president trump is a factor in their decisions of who to vote for. but, elaine, as you know, with 78 days to go until the mid terms, anything can happen. >> all right, errol barnett reporting for us. errol, thank you. >>> the catholic church has been apologizing since a grand jur

conspiracy tv msnbc, clapper doing the same things on fake news cnn.ake a look. >> the value standards, the institutions that i and others spent the major part of our professional lives defending and upholding our under assault by our very own president. i really do wonder whether the russians have something on him. i really question his ability, his fitness to be in his office, and i also am beginning to wonder about his motivation. this past weekend is illustrative of what a great case officer a. notice brady knows how to handle an asset and that is what he's doing with the president. >> sean:an that's not the only reason clapper should forfeit his clearance. before his time at fake news cnn, while serving as the director of national intelligence, clapper was accused of leaking sensitive information to his future employer, cnn, the company that employs him now.. let's not forget when he lied under oath in front of congress. take ang look. >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. it

clapper. they were never saying -- they weren't strident in their tone and in their analysis.'t calling his behavior treasonous. they weren't going on twitter and being bombastic. brennan approached this in a very political way. when you watch clapper and when you watch other people, you see it's more measured, it's more analytical. brennan makes a great foil for the president. i think he thinks he wins on it. i think he thinks he is going to continue to bite back, if you will, with him as brennan gives it right back to him. >> right. he certainly is. ladies, thank you. nice to have you both. >>> jury watch, verdict watch. it's a waiting game. an army of reporters literally standing outside the courthouse waiting and waiting and waiting. the defense team passing the time with cards and crosswords. jurors beginning day four of deliberations in the trial of paul manafort. event! ...where you can shop with confidence and convenience plus get these 4 benefits from kenmore at sears. up to fifty percent off appliances with your sears card. like this washer and dryer for $539.99 each

joining me now director clapper. should brennen in your opinion take legal action against the president? >> well, that's certainly an option. i know john is considering it, and there are several legal activists who have approached all of us that have been threatened with this, and in john's case, where his clearance has been revoked. and i think that's a decision yet to be made. that's certainly one option. i will say, just to clarify, though, that john's interest is not in attempting to restore his clearance with a suit. his point would be to make a larger point, which is his right to speak and by extension others, which is by the way, if i may just take a moment to amplify something i said yesterday on state of the union, the issue here is not parsing john's rhetoric. the issue is his right to speak, and by extension, other's right to speak. >> the -- i want to read you something that the president tweeted today. he said i hope john brennan brings a lawsuit, it will then be easy to get all of his records, texts, e-

in all this is concern about the jeopardy or threats to our institutions and values. >> reporter: clapper's clearance could soon trump. on sunday, senator rand paul suggested brennan's security clearance be revoked, and the president agreed. the proposed five year pilot program... allows a new kind of conservatorship. it's for homeless people who are unable to take care of themselves. it would allow the county to place >>> the proposed five-year program allows homeless people unable to take care of themselves to be placed in housing with treatment, even if they don't want to go. the bill is sponsored by senator scott weiner. >> conserve tourships take away civil liberties. >> there are people who are unable to care for themselves and it's unreasonable them to volunteer for services. >>> coming up, what it was like growing up with the queen of soul. while other burger places serve the same old stuff, i'm the only one that has the bowls to serve something different. i mean, just look at my teriyaki bowls. choose from steak or chicken, covered in teriyaki sauce, plus your choice of white or br

is that a threat that if james clapper isn't nice he will lose it? >> i don't have any other announcements on that front and when we have one i will let you know. >> who is doing the review? >> a number of people involved here at the white house. >> in the tweet this morning about paul manafort, the president seems to be set -- praising him for refusing to work with federal prosecutors. doesn't that seem to indicate that he thinks that loyalty to him personally is more important with abiding by the law or cooperating with the government? >> not at all, it doesn't involve the president, his campaign, and has nothing to do with the white house. the president has expressed his views. your hasl: slow lawyer has- cohen's suggested publicly that there is new evidence they would like to present about foreknowledge of hacking. the president and the white house maintain that there was no knowledge? >> i'm not aware of anything, no. >> given that five convicted felons are now linked to the president or his campaign and given his promise to hire the best people

clapper said the same thing. how likely is it, do you think, that the president will do to him when they do it john bren n brennan. >> including people who didn't have their clearances anymore, i mentioned this in the previous blog. unfortunately clouds as serious as i think it is aimed at trying and supposed to be an anvil over people's heads. i might do this and might not. you should be careful. since only i the president know where this line is, if you cross it, only i will know. you should be afraid of that. paul ryan when the president started this a couple of weeks ago, the house speaker said he thought the president was trolling people with this. in other words, trying to provoke a reaction. wasn't really serious. what donald trump said gets dismiss side that's how he talks. he clearly said this a few times. if you took out the name president trump and put in president obama and he did something similar, how quickly would this congress be reacting and calling for a hearing and all sorts of other things. >>

clapper and general hayden, have said that they do not use the pass at all. also it's my understanding that from an historical standpoint this would be the first time the president himself removed the passes from anybody, that that is normally done by agency heads or immediate superiors. have you considered all of these things in the process you say you are going to do? >> again, the other individuals, those are being reviewed. that determination will be made at a later date. those that have been revoked, it would be for the purpose of reviewing whether or not they should be reinstated or not. major. >> reporter: you outlined two areas of contradictory or erroneous testimony from brennan. is that the only standard by which this administration is asserting he should have his security clearance revoked? >> again i laid out the reasons in the opening statement. specific to director brennan, the others are currently under review. i don't have any specifics on those. >> reporter: is that the standard? if you give erroneous testimony, you say something, you have to

i profiled director clapper when he was the director of national intelligence.ingle interesting, controversial opinion under any circumstances about anything. couldn't do it. the fact that john brennan, jim clapper, mike hayden sounding the alarm bells in the way they are should chill us as americans. >> julia, you cover russia well. you had the president in helsinki a handful of weeks ago, standing next to the russian president, questioning the intelligence community's assessment. dismiss it, really. now you have a president firing a former leader of the intelligence community and citing the russia investigation. does putin cheer this kind of thing? >> of course he does. it's just more chaos, more kind of dismantling of the u.s. system, of the transatlantic alliance. you know, at this point, sanctions doesn't matter. it's all about shaking up our system, taking it down a notch, instead of bringing russia up. i have to say, though, because the russia collusion investigation it personal, it is about trump. it is about his victory in the election. it is about his

even james clapper admonished john brennan for having gone off the rails.me so he doesn't lose his security clearance for lying to congress. what does it all mean? let's bring in republican congressman chris stewart who serves on the house intelligence committee. what do you make of this back and forth and do you think brennan will actually commence a lawsuit? >> well, i don't know if he will. i don't think it would be successful. i wish we didn't have this continued back and fort honestly. if the president were to leave it alone evidence would convince the american people this is what we know about the former director brennan. the first is he is untrustworthy. we know that from his testimony before congress and the wild accusations he has made with virtually no evidence. the second thing we know is that he is overly political. he politicized the intel community, intelligence work. i have talked to a number of intelligence professionals as i do almost every day. they're embarrassed by this. they understand it isn't good for the american people and the work

i'm kara clapper. we have a look at the micro climate forecast. >> even though it's foggy out there it is going to clear out nicely by mid morning but we are expecting below normal temperatures. currently right now temps remain cooler for the coastline. 56 for san francisco. 55 even inland, for santa rosa. and 61 degrees for hayward. but we are still expecting to warm up. so even though we are in the 50s now, eventually we will climb into the 60s for the south bay. then we are going to top out into the 70s today for san jose. it's going to be rather comfort. 69 by 11:00. by 12:00, 73. and even though san jose may be in some upper 70s. low 80s for east jose. we are tracking upper 80s for parts of the northern california area. of course i will have an update on the air quality status for today coming up at 7:00 a.m. >> that is something to day stay tuned for. thanks. >>> a teen is dead and two people are under arrest following a shooting near a bay area high school. it happened around 5:00 p.m. in fairfi

. >> so the list that sarah sanders read from the podium or yesterday rather including james clapper and james comey and the fbi director that trump fired and andrew mechanic caccabe. to your knowledge, the people who are on that list who are next in line or could expand beyond that? >> that's our knowledge. folks inside the white house are trying to analyze each of these cases. if we were stripping the clearance, what rational and what reasons would we have. yesterday you saw sarah going to the podium and taking offenses -- the president in a remarkab remarkable journal interview says that he winked at the russia investigation and he says it was a sham so something had to be done. it was a textbook case and his adviser is looking for a way to explain his action. he eventually just said what he wanted to do any anywaway. that's what's happening here with dan mcgahn and some of these folks have been cplayer sn the probe. had they done anything, it would be notorious and taking away their clearance. that's not what motivates the president by all accounts. >> clearances are taken away f

lied to the fbi. >> flynn is not monetizing hiss security clearance. >> neither is clapper. >> he justid two days ago. michael flynn doesn't have access to that and he's going through the court system and yet two people who lied to congress, spied on congress and lied under oath are perfectly fine to keen monetizing their clearance and make money off of it. it doesn't make sense. >> thank you both and the real kwi question of course is whose security clearance is going to be revoked next and how damaging that could b and the president right now throwing a celebration for i.c.e. agents while hundreds of my grant parents don't know where their children are, what's next for those families? you'll want to know so stick around. the fact is, there are over ninety-six hundred roads named "park" in the u.s. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice d

he said, "even james clapper admonished john brennan for having gone totally off the rails.sn't lose his security clearance for lying to congress. i mean, what was your reaction to the president's tweet? >> well, i don't do social media. someone on cnn notified me about the tweet. i don't actually pay too much attention to them anymore. and just to be clear, i wasn't admonishing john. john and i are good friends, and i'm supportive of him. but i do think this illustrates just how political this security clearance thing is. when he apparently believes i'm trying to curry favor with him in order to keep my clearance. which has nothing to do with anything. so it's -- i actually found it -- the tweet sort of amusing. >> you have the same response to these tweets about you as i have to tweets about just brush it off your shoulder and keep -- >> oh, exactly. >> tauhank you, director. always a pleasure. >> thanks, don. >>> when we come back, what could david pecker's safe full of secrets, safe full of secrets, immunity from prosecutors an prosecution, what could it mean for the sto

are you waiting action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter shrugged lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked it is for the foregoing reasons that i have exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sara sander spoke to press and she said that the decision to revoke brennan's clearance was based on his erratic conduct and behavior defending the move as an effort to secure classified info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and clearly has very partisan leanings and john brennan himself has already chimed in blasting the move as part of a bid to suppress free speech and punish critics but for some context john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventeen and he now serves as m s n b c's senior national security and intelligence analyst but this whole debacle began last month when senator rand paul called brennan's motives into question asking if he had be

director clapper, i want to talk about the focus on john brennan. after president trump's press conference with vladimir putin in helsinki brennan unleashed some pretty remarkable criticisms against the president saying it was quote, nothing short of treasonous. take a listen how brennan explained that comment just a couple days ago. >> and i did say it rises to and exceeds the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and there's nothing short of treasonous. i didn't mean he committed treason, but it was a term i used nothing short of treasonous. >> but you didn't mean he committed treason, though? >> i said it was nothing short of treasonous, yeah. >> we'll get into the president's behavior in a second. but do you think john brennan's hyperbole is an issue here, the reason why we're having this crisis? >> i think it is. i think john is sort of like a freight train and he's going to say what's on his mind. i think, though, that the common denominator among all of us that have been speaking up, though, is genuine concern about the jeopardy and threats t
