[video clip] >> i believe additional sanctions should only be considered once our diplomatic track has been given the opportunity to forge a final, comprehensive and binding agreement. this is what is most distressing. if we had not reached an agreement in the six-month period with the cooperation and leadership of the big powers of this world, that would be one thing. we have reached agreement. that action is just about to take place. we are going to john does it. we are likely to collapse it. by passing additional sanctions now, which a president of the united states will veto with the aim of overriding that detail. how does that make any kind of common sense? it defies logic and it ends what has been unprecedented diplomacy. do we really want to take that on our shoulders? in my view, it's a march to war. host: senator feinstein last week on the senate floor. she used the word unprecedented. that's the word the pres

dianne feinstein, chair of the senate intelligence committee, is quoted as saying this. she said, "i believe groups loosely associated with al qaeda were involved in the attack. that's my understanding." loosely associated. you suggest in your article, no evidence of a direct al qaeda involvement. are you with her when she says there was a loosely coordinated attack -- an attack that was loosely coordinated with al qaeda? >> well, i believe what she said was affiliated but, more importantly, her spokesperson walked back those comments that she's not disputing my report. that whatever words we're using, she's talking about what i'm talking about, which is local groups on the ground. some of whom may openly share sympathies with al qaeda or its goals but none of whom were taking direction from al qaeda. none of whom were not part of al qaeda. this can't reasonably called an al qaeda attack. >> what are the relations between sharia and al qaeda? >> ansar al sharia of benghazi -- >> i think we're having some problems with skype. david kirkpatrick is joining us. let's try to

chair of intelligence committee, powerful woman, dianne feinstein said i believe that groups loosely associated with al qaeda were involved. went on to say she rejected the conclusion of the "new york times" is a statement. you just saw the quote. she believes al qaeda was involved and she did in past interview as well. so who are we supposed to believe here? >> i think this whole issue whether al qaeda was involved, al qaeda affiliates, core al qaeda, we know they were jihadists, a radical islamist group. what we don't know -- what the administration is saying they weren't core al qaeda. other people saying, "new york times" came to the same conclusion. what we know is there was an attack. we know it was a radical islamic group. we know americans died. we know it was done on the embassy and cia complex in benghazi. the reason this is still alive, people asserting there was a cover-up. there was no cover-up. the president said day two -- >> the reason still alive, nobody has been arrested. chris. >> there was a cover-up. the whole thing a lie wrapped in a misrepresentation inside of

i mean, we, first of all, dianne feinstein was a great partner in it.committed early on it should be a bipartisan report because the facts speak for themselves. while we can't say this was an al qaeda attack, we do know that mr. were several principle al qaeda leaders who were leaders of the group that that headed up the attacks so, there is no way not to characterize it as al qaeda being involved and an al qaeda attack. >> all right, it happened september 11th, 2012. then we had all that discussion about video or no video. at what point did the administration have a good faith belief that it was al qaeda? >> well, i can tell you that within hours, saxby chambliss as the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee knew that it was a terrorist attack. and within 24 hours knew that there was a suspected al qaeda leader involved. and maybe even more than one scrid involved with al qaeda affiliate involved. so as to what the white house knew, surely they knew more than i did. quicker than i did. >> well, what was the purpose of the video? and why did

now, we're not the only ones saying this, yesterday, dianne feinstein said there is clearly no evidence to suggest that h hillary knew about the tenuous situation on the ground in libya. >> there is no evidence that secretary clinton knew about this, there is an under-secretary for management. there are others who make these decisions, evaluate the facilities that make these decisions. rather than casting recriminations, i think the thing to do is make sure these facilities get the security. >> is she saying we need to brush this thing under the rug? well, that is not going to happen, i'm glad to see that republican lawmakers agree with me. yesterday, they made a passionate plea to dig deeper for answers, and they're asking why the secretary of state hid behind susan rice in the aftermath of this deadly assault. >> she couldn't be on tv to talk about what happened at the state department because she was distraught? i don't buy that. does anybody believe that about secretary clinton. and if it is true, it is something the american people need to consider. i don't believe it was true. i d

. >> the chairman of the committee, dianne feinstein, responded to a number of speeches on the floor saying, quote, statement on the senate floor this morning intimate that the report assigns culpability to former secretary of state hillary clinton for the tragedy. this is patently false. another republican senator is taking exception to the idea that the late u.s. ambassador was actually complicit in his own murder. >> and quit blaming the dead guy. this suggestion that chris stevens had fault for his own death, chris stevens was in benghazi because that's where he was supposed to be doing what america wanted him to do, try to hold libya together, so there's not going to be any blaming the dead guy. >> secretary of state john kerry is urging the syrian opposition to attend next week's peace talks in geneva. amateur video meantime today released purports to show shelling in rural damascus and rebels clashing with government forces. kerry wants the main western-backed opposition group to come to the negotiating table. >> geneva peace conference is not the end but rather the beginning.

dianne feinstein is opposed to moving it.ort from democrats to do what he's doing. it's the smart thing to do. the interim deal gets filed on monday. six months ain't a long time, even on a political clock. this year. >> right. >> and if we've spent ten years imposing sanctions to get to the point where we can talk to iran, so let's talk to iran. >> you know, bobby, it's interesting, you and i were talking about, you were even saying if they wanted to wait two months, you could see them fashioning a way of just sort f of, we know you want to trust, but verify option, but there is a way to do this, even if you just give it some time. >> the six-month deal goes into effect this weekend, january 20th, is when it starts. this new sanctions that have been proposed are -- will only be imposed if the deal breaks through -- breaks down, i beg your pardon. why not give the deal two months out of six. let's see after two months if u.n. inspectors are being allowed to go to the sites. let's see after two months iran is verifiable way sc

so i think to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 is really something that we need to do. >> dianne feinsteinso much. >> you're very welcome. >>> and the country has lost folk music legend pete seger. his political active vichl and music were a blended pursuit, even early days. his log cabin became the site of the weavers first gatherings where "if i had a hammer" and "whim away" was born. seeger was black listed in the mccarthy era where he refused to answer questions. he went on to found the newport folk festival. his songs will last forever.

also judiciary committee were asking questions about cyber security and homegrown threats and dianne feinstein asked specifically about the safety of sochi. and the national counterterrorism director had an answer and a warning. >> the biggest issue from my perspective is not the games themselves and venues themselves. there is security at the site of the events. the greater threat is the softer targetters in the greater sochi area and the outskirts beyond sochi where there is a substantial potential for a terrorist attack. >> when it comes to cyber security, del, there are questions in the wake of the target preach. just how secure ask governmental information. they had questions about that as well. >> so what did we learn from what they had to say? >> reporter: del, he talked about how he is working to put together a plan on how to bring that metadata, that information about phone calls out of the hands of the government and into the hands of a second party say phone companies. they voiced fears of putting that information in a company's hands. >> when it is accessible by far more individual

bulk colleges program has been signed off by republicans and democrats, people as diverse as dianne feinstein, mike rogers, president bush, they resident all recognize and believe that bulk protection was legal collection and they also believe that it was essential to keeping america safe. i agree with the analysis that the president came out with today saying bulk collection is necessary. we need to keep it. i don't know if he is going to find a place to move it or not, but the bottom line if he moves it somewhere, the basic integrity of the program is going to stay in place. >> pat toomey, your response. >> we don't think that moving the bulk collection program under the auspices of private companies or private consortium solved the problem. the government should not be in the business of conducting bulk collection or mass surveillance of its citizens' communications even by proxy. if the president, even if he were to move the program with a mandatory retention policy, that would continue to invade the privacy rights of americans. bush, they >> we have to leave it there, gentlemen, thank yo
