back with me now, james clapper. a lot of questions about the u.s. providing now munitions to israel. there's also a being provided to ukraine. is there a concern about our resources being so stretched? >> i'm sure there is. i think this is a real challenge for the pentagon right now. how to support two wars. we have been kind of stressed from the supply chain standpoint with providing munitions, particularly at the rate they're being used in the ukraine. now i have, i think, a similar voracious appetite for munitions probably in israel and gaza. and we have our own requirements to manage. so i think our stocks and manner of supply is going to be stretched. i am sure the pentagon is struggling with that right now. >> we will see where things go from. their doctor clapper, thank you for being with me, helping to impact so much. it was important to have you. here and thank you all for watching. our live coverage continues after s-word break.

director clapper, thank you for being here tonight. you heard the president of the united states, compare that brutality of hamas to i.s.i.s.. and we've seen the horrifying videos, the indiscriminate killings. how did hamas get to this level? >> i think it starts with that lengthy blockade that egypt and israel imposed on the gaza strip, restricting goods and services that had before, previously, gone into gaza. and so about 40% of the population are youth and i think many of these youth got radicalized. the frustration, the sheer hatred of israel and israelis is what led to this. i think there were some other factors, and probably the timing of the attack, it's been 50 years since the yom_kippur war and i think that strategically, i think hamas was concerned about, and for that matter, they were sponsor, iran, concerned about the -- between the saudi and israel, brokered by the united states -- to normalize relations between saudi and israel. and i think hamas found that extremely threatening. it felt, perhaps, lift out of the discuss

>> i don't think it's surprising, i will file onto something director clapper said. a two front war is a bigger problem, and something we had hoped to avoid, i believe but i think we have to recognize that iran is pulling the strings here and iran understands that a two front war is going to cause israel much more problems, so i think we expected this from the beginning, as many others have. >> director clapper, staying on the topic of iran. sources continue to tell cnn that the u.s. has selected specific intelligence that iran did not play a direct role in the hamas terror attack. first of all, how can the intelligence agencies be so sure about a negative, meaning how can they be so sure that iran didn't, and i should say, we should make sure our viewers understand that iran has been very active for years in financing hamas and hezbollah, but in this question is taking a role in actually planning the attack. >> right, i don't have any insight on what has led to the reporting apparently that the u.s. intelligence community has positive information that the iranians w

you've got a civilian population, director clapper, who is trying to get out. how on earth are you able to think about how you could move militarily? >> it beats me. i don't see how this works, frankly. what you're doing is the expectation, i guess, is to cram people that are already in the most densely -- one of the most densely populated areas in the whole world into an even smaller area with no organization on the part of their government and even if they were disposed to i don't think they have the capability to organize any sort of evacuation. i hope -- i would like to presume that the israelis have some information that leads them to a terrorist location or hostages. if they do, that's amazing at this point to know where the hostages are. so i have trouble getting my head around what's -- what the logic is here other than we've sort of checked the block by warning the population that we're coming, and then after that it appears to me that pretty much katie bar the door is this it strikes me what you were talking about substantive and, gentlemen, feel free

director clapper, security is going to be a key part of this visit. it's the president's second visit to a war zone this year. we saw earlier secretary blinken had to go and shelter in a bunker because air raid sirens were going off as he was trying to meet with the prime minister. how risky is a visit like this, in your eyes? >> it's clearly risky. it's not like going to a non-combat environment. so, there is that prospect. but, you know, the secret service is very professional about this, and they will figure out ways and means of minimizing personal risk to the president. and i do think that this is a powerful message, as anderson outlined. but i also think it's an opportunity for the president to counsel israelis privately about temperance, as they consider a plan, an incursion into gaza. >> well, director clapper, when it comes to an imminent -- do you think this visit could schang the timing of that? could israel potentially delay a ground invasion of gaza, if they have one planned? >> it certainly could. the visit and as well as -- i'm still tr

the clapper rail is kind of an interesting name. exactly, they're a nesting bird along the marshlands next to the dumbarton bridge. so, hence, we can only work between september 1st and the end of february. >> okay. i got you. then what about the timing here? 7:00 p.m. seems a little rough for the commuters. why not 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.? >> well, i totally see your point. we do have traffic operations folks here who did a thorough analysis, and i'd like to share with you that between 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., only 7,900 vehicles will traverse on a normal night obviously eastbound state route 84 across the dumbarton bridge. about that many vehicles cross the bridge eastbound in two hours of commute time. so we definitely are doing it at a time when there's very little traffic. >> so about 8,000 commuters based on your statistics. look, we all want better roads, so i guess we have to pay the price at some point. what exactly are you fixing on the dumbarton bridge, janis? >> yes. so during the closure, our workers are going to replac

director clapper, thank you so much for joining me. i want to start by talking about intelligence since that is your expertise, one of your areas of expertise, and about the hostages who the u.s. and israel believes are inside gaza, including an untold number of americans. what will it take to get them out given the reality that you have had biden officials on air all day admitting that they don't -- they don't -- forget about where they are, they don't know who they are or how many there are. >> well, this is pretty daunting challenge. certainly when you're going to do a hostage rescue this sounds like an obvious thing to say, you have to know where they are. i rather doubt we have much insight into location of any of the hostages. i would surmise they are underground and widely dispersed and hamas for its part is going to consider any information on the hostages as very, very sensitive state secret, so to speak. so this is a real disaster in the making, i think, because as each day goes by, given the condition, the physical condition

director clapper, thanks for joining me. the first question is, knowing what you know about the intelligence networking capabilities in that region by israel, how did this happen? >> well, dana, that's the question of the hour. we regard israeli intelligence services as one of the premier intelligence capabilities on the globe. notably shin bet, their domestic intelligence organization has always been well wired, at least in the past, in the west bank and hamas. israelis have an extensive surveillance system all along the gaza. they have a capable tig nall intelligence capability. so it's really quite surprising. it really took me aback to see the apparent surprise and, as you said, the israelis getting caught flat-footed which really took me aback. i'm also quite impressed with the complexity of this multidimensional attack on the part of hamas. i've never seen anything like that before, to include apparently a cyber dimension of denial of service which adds further confusion to the israelis and their reaction. >> i just wa

director clapper, what was your first reaction to hearing these reactions? >> shock, stunning development but unfortunately not surprising. i'm having trouble coming up with new adjectives to describe how serious and how dangerous that this is. and you just presented a very succinct litany of things that the former president has done, and reflects his complete disregard for protection of national security, sensitive information. and for that matter, the very national security of the country. in this latest episode, one aspect of this that i think is worth mentioning ease when this kind of thing happens, and the essential bit of information is spread out as ubiquitously and pervasively as it was and an adversary gets a hold of it to russia or china they can use that to confirm or refute their own intelligence holdings. so, there is no end to the potential consequences here, where the endangerment to sources and methods. the endangerment of the crews that man these multibillion dollar submarines. so, from all perspectives, this is really egregious. assuming, o

james clapper, signs with cnn, his role is to go on there and bash trump.they've now been hired back bay -- by the biden administration to serve on the board of directors -- larry: i know, i saw that. clapper who lied several times under oath to congress. just lied, outright lied. so you think this stories has legs, whatever robert ray happens to say. so speak of congress, we've had a little bit of upheaval in the republican side, mark simone. >> yeah. larry: who are you backing for speaker? who are you personally backing for speaker? >> donald trump would be great but that's not going to happen. i think i just saw him, byron daniels -- larry: donalds. byron donalds was just on the show. >> imagine if the republicans had the first african-american speaker of the house -- larry: to -- ooh, i haven't heard that yet. by the way, he's a really smart if guy. >> wonderful guy. just doing that would have a lot of effect on the election next year. larry: president trump is going down to speak to the republican conference on tuesday. >> yeah. they need a coach. they

i think we need to know more, at least from open sources. >> all right, james clapper, always good to you. thank you so much, appreciate it. >>> coming up next, we're back on the ground in israel for all the latest, plus new details on president biden's phone call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. what steps the u.s. is taking after this quick break. >>> the israeli defense forces say that its navy has foiled an attack in the area of zikkin beach. nic robertson is there. it's early morning in israel, tell us the latest. >> reporter: yeah, the latest we're hearing is that the police station in sderot taken control of by hamas militants about five miles or so in that direction is now back under israeli defense force control. we've seen a lot of tanks being transported into the area, into closer to gaza. we've seen civilian buses, empty, going in. then some of them coming out. it appears as if some of the civilian population now, that area is more fully under israeli golf control. some of the civilians are being bussed out of that area. but this is becoming a very active sp

let's get reaction from cnn national security analyst james clapper, the former director of nationalelligence. thank you so much, general, for joining us. according to abc news, trump allegedly told this australian billionaire down at mar-a-lago, toldld him of the supposed exac number of nuclear war heads u.s. submarines carry and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a russian submarine without being detected. give our viewers a sense just how sensitive is that kind of information? >> well, wolf, with due regard for the fact it's a single-source media report and the fact that the special counsel, for whatever reason, chose not to use it in -- for an indictment, with those caveats in mind, this is really, to me, a serious infraction. it is, unfortunately, another in the long litany of violations of our national security by failure to properly protect such sensitive information. if this involved sea launch ballistic missiles, and the subs that carry them, this is a part of our national strategic arsenal which gets to the very essence of the survival of the nation. so, it's hard

thank you very much, director clapper general, i appreciate your time. >>> and "outfront" now, the former director of massad, israel's intelligence service. also the former head of the israeli national security council. and i appreciate your time, director, and your expertise on that. so, on this hospital blast, israel has put all the information out, the u.s. has supported it, it may not matter to many people. but do you have any questions in your mind about this at this point? >> i have no questions at all about it. i have been looking at it all day and seeing how this story -- and there is such an accumulation of sources now, which make this claim, not a claim, but an established tract. and i think that, unfortunately, hamas has taken this tragedy, which they have caused, and have turned it into a weapon, one of their weapons. but i think that we will have to continue the way we are at the moment and prepare now for the next stage of the campaign against the hamas. >> the war that you are in. now, i'm curious, obviously, in your role as director running national intelligence and mossad

by the way, brennan and clapper, been hired back at the biden administration to serve on board of dhs before congress, just lied, outright lied. >> right. larry: this has legs. you think this story has legs, whatever robert wray happens to say. so speaking of congress, we've had a little bit of upheaval on the republican side, mark simone. >> yeah. larry: who are you barking for speaker? who are you personally backing for speaker? >> donald trump would be great but that will not happen. i think i just saw him on this program. byron daniels,. larry: byron donald. >> byron donalds. remember if the republicans had first african-american speaker of the house. imagine what would that do -- larry: really smart guy. super smart guy. >> wonderful guy. just doing that, would have a lot of effect on the election next year. larry: president trump is going down to speak to the republican conference on tuesday. >> yeah. they need a coach. they need a vince lombardi on the field to whip them into shape and that will be donald trump. larry: joe concha, vince lombardi, i remember vince lombardi. >> f

when i do the splits, i distract the russians from the clappers in belgorod, from the blackout in kurskwitch them to more terrible things, here kabaeva also did the splits and not just her leg i picked it up, and sat down right there, well , there's a man hanging in your frame, and sat right there, and nothing. she even received an order, for her age, it’s the same as an airplane, maybe i also deserve an order, i’m a ballerina, my legs are always spread apart, and ill-wishers often use it, so i don’t even know who the third child is, i’m just before that , i sat on the twine in many places, and nothing, at the funerals of the wagnerites, i sat down, those present liked it, in the church i sat down, patriarch kirill also liked it, he also likes money he took it from a donation and shoved it straight into my tights, damn it, they will now find out that i once danced in the swan lake , the disintegration of the union will be soldered into the article, i suggest that our eyes rest from the twine, let's look at the column, briefly about the situation in the russian general exhibit. matovniko

got the clapper? no worries. there we are. i asked veronica smink, of bbc mundo in buenos aires.would, it would seem logical for them to group together and make him the winner in the second round. but, as we have proved with the primaries, and now with the first round of elections, logic doesn't apply necessarily in argentine elections. but milei is such a divisive character, isn't he? i mean, it's such an extreme thing to vote for him. surely a lot of centre—right people will think, "whoa, that's just too far for us." more than half of the electorate will vote for a change, who voted for a change both in the primaries and in the first round. and if milei plays his cards right, and maybe tones down some of the rhetoric, he might — it would be likely for him to attract them. because you have to remember that since peronism was created almost eight decades ago, mostly politics has been about peronism and anti—peronism, and anti—peronism today is milei. can you just explain to me why a country as rich, as full of educated, intelligent people should have gone just so badly wrong in t

and, you know, as general clapper pointed out earlier, we have been there before.g is now is not the time. this is the time when we need orefocus on collection, analysis and finding actual intelligence. that's what the israelis need to do which is not time to get into the blame game. they got to keep their intell people focused, they have got to get to that later, they will and it's important but over the next few days what they have to be looking at is we've got this problem we're focused on in the souse by the coast, we have to watch out for a potential hezbollah incursions as an iranian proxy from the north and we need to make sure that we have forces that are available to be up there without stripping everything to one location. they've got to be looking at their punishment operation that they are organizing in retaliation for this surprise attack but they also have to be mindful of as juliet pointed out a minute ago, what about these hostages? and where will they be held? and will they be used not just as bargaining chips but as human shields at places that ar

rushed to bunkers. [ sirens ] joining us now is the former director of national intelligence, james clapper. thanks for coming in. this visit sends a powerful message. it comes with risk. what are the key considerations when planning something like this, especially on short notice? >> well, there's a number of -- first of all, the matter of personal security of the president. good on him for taking on this mission. to me at least, there's a lot of messages he is conveying here. certainly, support for the israelis. i would also surmise that he is counseling moderation, if that's possible, after seeing these graphic scenes of the affects of the air strikes in gaza. a message to the region, particularly engaging other nations to get them involved perhaps for negotiating with the -- for the release of the hostages. it's a very important trip. i have to wonder, what's the long-term affect. i wonder as i watch the graphics, what exactly is driving the targeting of these air strikes? what is israel using as a basis for deciding what targets to strike? this is almost, in my mind, kate, a perfect st

>> i was director of national counterterrorism abelong with director clapper and maybe some of you all in this room. it is both physical place but also an idea to me is one of the great reforms post 911 that because the fbi relocated there, nctc as entity brings together fbi, cia and nsa, nga, dhs all in one place to focus on counterterrorism mission. so it iste the place, that's the clearing house for all sorts of intelligence, counterintelligence, in fact, it is the question where it suggests 702 information is present and not just present but available to a wide variety of intelligence officers so they can make effective use of it. it's happening in realtime and fast and it's getting out to the people that knead to use it whether it's state and local official, whether it's our foreigns partners and in particular the fbi. this has been terrific. we really appreciate it. i am a little worried you've had practically every good job in the intelligence community, what do you think your future holds? are you going to go back to the private sector? you have done well there too. so what are

>> that speaks to me i was there for a few years in 2011 through 2014 and i worked with director clapper and maybe with some of you all in this room. it's a physical place but also an idea and to me it's one of the great reforms post 9/11 because fbi as an entity with fbi, cia, dhs, although in one place with the omissions, is the place that is a clearinghouse for allal intelligence whether that's terrorism, counterintelligence, information and in fact it is a place where that question projects where the information is present and not just present but available to a wide variety of intelligence officers so they can make decisions. that is happening and real-time and it's happening fast and it's getting out to the people to stay local officials and partners and specifically to the fbi. >> this is been terrific, we really appreciatefi it. i am at. little worried that wee had practically a great job in the intelligence and there might not be any left for the rest of us. but what do you think your future hold, are you going to go back to the private sector, you've done well there too. what a

. >> james clapper tells me and he was here with me in "the situation room" yesterday, he tells me if trump did share this information, it could endanger crew members, impact, quote, the very essence of the survival of the nation. do you agree? >> well, that's possible. obviously we don't know exactly what the information is. one of the things he's alleged to have said is the number of tridan missiles in our ballistic missile submarine. i just looked up for it for the fun of it, wikipedia says there are 20 in an ohio class submarine. i'm not going to say what the number is, but i'm just saying there's a lot of discussion on that point. on the point about how effective our submarines are at evading detection, i think that's a lot more serious and it's hard to imagine there's any explanation or any excuse for revealing anything that trump might have remembered on that score. >> ambassador, if you were advising trump's 2020 rifvals, what is the threat trump poses to national security? >> absolutely. i think the core argument republicans in particular ought to be making about trump is tha

along with director clapper and maybe some of you in this room. liberty crossing is a physical place but also an idea. one of the great reforms post 9/11. the fbi is co-located there. nctc is an entity. it brings together fbi, cia, dhs all in one place to focus on the counterterrorism mission. it's a clearinghouse for all sorts of intelligence. whether that's counterterrorism, counterintelligence information. in fact, it's the place where section 702 is present and available to a wide variety of intelligence officers so that they can make effective use of it. that is happening in real time and it's happening fast. it's getting out to the people who need to use it. whether that is state and local officials, whether it's foreign partners. in particular to the fbi. stewart: this has been terrific. we really appreciate it. i'm a little worried. you had practically every good job in the intelligence community. there might not be any left for the rest of us. what do you think your future holds? are you going to go back to the private sector? you have do

got the clapper? no worries. there we are. i asked veronica smink, of bbc mundo in buenos aires.y in argentine elections. but milei is such a divisive character, isn't he? i mean, it's such an extreme thing to vote for him. surely a lot of centre—right people will think, "whoa, that's just too far for us." more than half of the electorate will vote for a change, who voted for a change both in the primaries and in the first round. and if milei plays his cards right, and maybe tones down some of the rhetoric, he might — it would be likely for him to attract them. because you have to remember that since peronism was created almost eight decades ago, mostly politics has been about peronism and anti—peronism, and anti—peronism today is milei. can you just explain to me why a country as rich, as full of educated, intelligent people should have gone just so badly wrong in the last 60 years? governments spend more than what they have, and this is the main problem that argentina has had, which has tried to solve either by borrowing too much money, and now it's in a debt crisis, or by fina
