director. quote, i was the first and only president potential g.o.p. candidate to state there will be no cuts to social security, medicare and medicaid. director mulvaney: may i? mr. womack: the gentleman will take a few seconds to respond. director mulvaney: your jobs numbers are correct. your g.d.p. numbers are flat out wrong. to the point about social security and medicare, we don't touch anybody's benefits, don't means test, raise ages. we don't do anything in social security retirement. proposals.r to the mr. womack: members, please, if you have a question for the director don't wait until you have five seconds left in your time to ask that question. the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. cole. mr. cole: thank you very much, mr. chairman. director, thank you for being here. it's always a pleasure having you. i want to compliment you on some things because i think this is a better budget than last year. i know you didn't have a lot of time last year. this shows that. of course, we complicated thi

and so the three of you in any order let's just do the order i started with, director coats, director pompeo, admiral rogers, any thoughts you have on what we can do to protect the critical infrastructure of the election system and how quickly we need to act if we intend to do that this year? >> the intelligence community are aware and want to provide collect and provide as much information as we can to give those warnings and alerts so that we can share information back and forth with local and state and election processes with the federal government. department of homeland security, department of the f.b.i., obviously were involved given they're domestic issues but we do look to every piece of intelligence we can gather so that we can provide these warnings. it is an effort that i think the government needs to put together at the state and local level and work with those individuals who are engaged in the election process in terms of the security of their machines, cyber plays a major role here. so i think it is clearly an area where federal government, foreign collection on potenti

kathy a better isn't the only female director to beat the odds to make her debut film t.v. tolan used her own money and broke all the rules especially in her choice of the genre her cycle her is the kind of movie you don't see much in german sort of. freddie's lost everything he only sees his son on weekends his wife left him after he supposedly beat her unconscious. i want a man. a couple seasons from the city as it is for us and that's about. it because she's going to be just. as viruses which will be. something. so that's. but in this film we can't be sure what is true but tale of sexual abuse psychosis and revenge freddy eddy is a chilling and powerful thriller one made on a shoestring budget. family in fish one one of i shot the film without any subsidies and almost no money for seventy five thousand euros that sounds like a lot but for a film it's very little everyone deferred their salaries and work for nothing. the director plowed her savings into the film and made up the rest through online crowdfunding acting friends including star jessica shots work for free it p

director. we have mutual threats, but one threat has been central to our -- and you have testified this publicly, the last election there was a russian influence. this election, did they seem to be more prepared? they have learned their lessons, the simple question i pose is, did the president direct the intelligence community in a coordinated effort, not merely to report, but to actively stop this activity? and the answer seems to be, that i'm hearing, the reporting is going on as we're reporting about every threat coming into the united states. that's -- let me get back to, quickly, any of the other panelists have anything to add on this point? >> for us, i can't say that i've been explicitly directed to, quote, blunt or actively stop. on the other hand, it's very clear, generating knowledge and insight help us understand to generate better policy. clearly, that direction has been very explicit in fairness. >> right. but i think, again, how you may agree or disagree, collecting intelligence e

again, i'll start with director coates and director ray. how do we make sure that we send a signal to the private sector before some of these companies in effect totally invade our market, particularly because so many of them are tied back to the chinese government? >> well, i think it's not only sending the signal and working together, sharing information with the private sector and the public sector. it also, i think, involves almost a whole government issue, in particular legislative with the legislation being looked at in terms of the process. i think we need to go beyond what the current process is in terms of evaluating. we as a community will coordinate our intelligence to provide the policymakers and those that are making these decisions with the best intelligence we can relative to what the situation is. so we'll -- we view this as a top priority. it's ongoing, because as i mentioned in my early remarks here, the chinese are pervasive on this. we've seen it happen throughout both the public and private sector. >> we've tried very h

chris wray is the fbi director he picked. >> he picked? >> whatever you thinking of the firing of james comey and the circumstances surrounding it, a chris wray resignation based on his -- the fbi's desire not to have this memo released, i don't know how you spin that one if you're donald trump. >> you can understand, though, shawn, the frustrations -- i can't begin to imagine on behalf of the fbi, they released this public statement, grave concerns over the memo's accuracies, evan making the point misleading information despite any kind of redactions that they agree upon, if you're chris wray and you're ahead of the fbi and the president goes ahead and says, sorry, i'm releasing it, how do you not resign? >> that's a good question. if it is the case that the information in this memo is so egregious and if chris wray finds it to be so misleading that he thinks that it's worth quitting, worth walking away from, you know, i think that any objective person whether you are a supporter of the president or not, you have to take a step back and y

director coats, director pompeo, admiral rogers, you all talked about evidence that the russians would intend to do things that would be active in our elections. i really -- it seems to me two divisions of that activity. one is information put on the record that misleading, false, trying to develop that level. the other, even more sinister might be the level of dealing with the election system itself. the voting day system, the registration system and if those two clearly the voting day system, the one we need to have the most concerns about that critical infrastructure, this committee has been working toward both of those goals of trying to shore up critical infrastructure on election day as well as alert people to and decide what might be done about misinformation on the other side of the ledger. voting begins in march. that's next month. if we're going to have any impact on securing that voting system itself, it would seem to me that we need to be acting quickly i think this is different from state to state. that's a strength, not a weakness in my view. but what are some of the thin

let's listen in. >> i'd like to welcome director of national intelligence dan coats, director of theal intelligence agency mike pompeo, director of the defense intelligence agency general robert ashley, director of the federal bureau of investigation chris wray, director of the national security agency, admiral mike rogers and director of the geospatial intelligence agency robert cardillo. we have a long day in front of us. i thank you all for being here. i know how forward you look to this one occasion on an annual basis. since 1995, this committee's met in open forum to discuss the security threats facing the united states of america. this has never been nor will it ever be a comfortable conversation to have. the threats this country face are complex, evolving and without easy answers. they exist in multiple domains. they're asymmetrical and conventional. they can be launched from across the ocean or be planned in the heart of our homeland. nonetheless, this conversation serves a vital purpose. and it's essential it takes place in the public square with as much detail and candor as

he retired as director in 2015. he's author of three books, book of thinks, and praise and published in 2004, 2007 and 2010. and now teachers in the university olli these acronym what's that? olli lifelong learning institute -- >> okay. program and pursue research on -- renaissance humanism. and i should point out also nxz with dick wentworth become on the fact that a his spouse marlene -- she did her work on ellewood and it was a really wonderful dissertation to be a part of so we have connections, and -- >> half of the doctorate except me.

this question will be directorate director ray, but i'm under the notion that these companies will may be located here, operating cyberspace and when we have someone masquerading as mike pompei but is actually someone in st. petersburg doesn't fit neatly into a particular flowchart. who is in charge of addressing the threat posed by foreign nationals in terms of their missing the use and misuse? there is no agency in charge. there are several throughout the federal government that have equities in this. we are working to try to integrate the process. it needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. we've had discussions about that. we are keen on moving forward in terms of identification in relative response and things we can do to prevent it from happening. we are gaining more support from the private sector who are beginning to recognize the issues that are faced with the material that comes through their processes, as a government we can track them what to do over spending every effort we can't work with them to provide answers. >> i would agree. i think it is a team effort. one thi

i'll start with director coats and director wray. how do we make sure we send a signal to the private sector before some of these committee -- some of these companies in effect totally invade our market, particularly because so many are tied back to the chinese government. >> i think it is not only sending the signal and working together, sharing information with the private sector and the public sector. it also, i think, involves a whole -- almost a whole government issue, particularly legislative, with the legislation that is being looked at in terms of the process. i think we need to go beyond what the current process is in terms of evaluating. we as a community will coordinate our intelligence to provide policymakers and those that are making these decisions with the best intelligence we can relative to what the situation is. we have this and view this as a top priority, and it is ongoing because as i mentioned in my early remarks here, the chinese are pervasive on this and we have seen it happen throughout both the public and th

director pompeo. i've had that one of my partner for a while. -- i have had that one in my pocket for a while. i realize that this is a new area for all of us. there are legitimate issues around american civil rights that have to be balance. balanced. we need to have an organized plan going forward. this question will be directed at director ray. we havempanies while -- somebody masquerading as mike pompeo but is actually in st. peter. -- st. petersburg. it does not fit into a particular flowchart. who is in charge of addressing the threat posed by foreign terms of theirin use and misuse of social media? >> no single agency is in charge. there are several agencies throughout the federal government that have equities in this. we are working together to try to integrate that process. it is clearly something that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. you and i have had a number of discussions about that. on moving forward in terms of identification and relative response. the things we can do to p

the cystic film director furious that he's been blacklisted from iran's movie industry. possum's also furious that there's a serial killer decapitation iran's top filmmakers only because he isn't one of them. but. that's legit. told them she was amid the laughs film aficionados won't forget that some of iran's top directors really are banned from the country's cinemas but pick director money huggy insists that his black comedy a contender for this year's golden bear is only parity. and they understand that you guys actually have the opportunity to speak with the director what did he have to say. when we were at the press conference very funny film not so funny press conference well yeah i've been saying this is very different than maybe what we expect from iran or what maybe the western audiences think iran is like and the director was quite annoyed that all the questions about the film seemed to be about the politics around of iran and not about his movie itself that's right and said what is it actually got quite heated he said he didn't want to he wasn't that it betray

the director of national intelligence, the cia director and the director of the fbi testified earlier this week at a senate intelligence committee hearing on global terror threats. this is two hours and 40 minutes. -- at a senate intelligence committee hearing. >> i would like to welcome our distinguished witnesses today. dan coats. mike pompeo. general robert ashley. chris wray. mike rogers. robert cardella. we have a long day in front of us. i thank all of you for being here. i know how forward you looked to this one occasion on an annual basis. since 1995, this committee has met in open forum to discuss the security threats facing the united states of america. this has never been, nor will it ever be, a comfortable conversation to have. the threats this country face are complex, involving, and without easy answers. domains,t in multiple they are asymmetrical and unconventional, they can be launched from across the ocean or be planned in the heart of our homeland. this conversation serves a vital purpose and it is essential that it takes place in the public square with as much detai

, the new fbi director, relatively speaking, mike pompeo, the cia director, guess who named them to thoseitions? donald trump. >> just as critically, the president can't say these things and believe them, the people who vote for him, his followers, his base, will not. that means they're just as susceptible to russian influence and interference and operations as they were in 2016. they'll be just as vulnerable. not everything russia is doing is in cyberspace. some of it is right under your nose in the media and even conventional media. it really is important that the president sees it, blooelieves and that his base believes it. >> he thinks this whole issue of russian spying is about him and him election rather than taking the wider view, which one would assume a president would take, about how they're trying to undermine democracy, period. >> he said in that clip -- i don't have it right now, but remember the famous clip where he said, putin denied it. he was pretty serious when he repeatedly denied it to me. >> the happiest person on a day-to-day basis on this planet is vladimir putin. w

>> director mulvaney: go to your premise.our premise is that we're going to have larger deficits this year, which is absolutely true. we will always have larger deficits forever and ever and ever. it's going 2019, next year. at 1.2 trillion is the protection. >> director mulvaney: that's correct. that's probably close to being accurate. we haven't had a chance to completely integrate the numbers from the bill that passed a couple days ago to what we are working on last week but the truth of the matter is that we will have the budget on monday, which is tomorrow now. you will get a chance to see how we can avoid that future. a budget does been the trajectory down, it moves us back towards balance and gets us away from trillion dollar deficits. just because this deal was signed does not mean the future is written in stone. we do have a chance still to change this trajectory and that's what the budget will show tomorrow. >> chris: i sympathize with you because you were writing a federal budget, that's a comp located thing. it wa

yes, director ramos. >> director ramos: across the bay, they implemented a day pass and it would interesting to see how successful it's been. i know there were questions how good it was -- how well it would respond to their riders' needs, so i would encourage to look at best practices from them. secondly, i wanted to clarify the option 1. i appreciate the differential and particularly with respecting the 25 cents limited for people with reduced fare. limiting that. but either way, i think there should be a component with this, like a built-in component. like if we do this, in whatever direction or not, we should be providing more education about how to use clipper and how to reload it and what have you. i wish that we could just depend on clipper and mtc to do all this, it's clear they can't or won't. i don't know what the holdup is, but it feels like there is more to be done. if we go that route and protect the 25 cent to the reduced fare holder, users, i think that it would be absolutely require something to that effect. some of that outreach around how to reload the clipper card and where

, who is gradually one by one is killing off this director's friends, fellow directors.isingly, it is a comedy. scott: yeah, it is not at all what you would expect when you hear iranian movie. you would probably think of something very political, dark, very troubling. this is not that at all. very funny and visually very spectacular. this director is sort of a magic realist. he creates fantasy images and uses amazing cinematic tricks. something very different from what maybe we are used to seeing from iran. we have a small piece to introduce you to the film. why don't we take a look. reporter: "pig" is the story of hassan, a narcissistic film director furious he has been blacklisted from iran's movie industry. hassan is also furious thursday serial killer decapitating iran's top filmmakers, only because he is not one of them. rm aficionados won't forget that some of iran's top directors really are banned from the country's cinemas. but the "pig" director insists that his black comedy is only parody. sarah: and i understand that you guys actually had the opportunity to sp

the fbi -- the director says something director, that's unusual. >> unprecedented. >> and the fbi agents, working men and women of the fbi, making cases, cuffing people, hauling them to jail, they said, hey, we appreciate the fbi director standing up for us. again, and i just -- i plead with my republican colleagues, if you believe that they were conspireing to purr jury in an affidavit before the court, that's a serious case to go to the ig or full investigation of the committee. this piecemealing of release of a memo is not going to give the american people anything but, you know, it's affirmation news. i either hate trump and don't believe anything in it, or i love trump, and i believe every single word in it. i think there's probably the truth is somewhere in the middle, and in the meantime, we have absolutely blown up real constructive oversight of the intelligence community, at least happening in the house of representatives. >> when you were chairman of the house intelligence committee, you worked closely with the democratic ranking member issuing bipartisan reports. that's not wh

for his friend who has as an understudy and in a surprise when romanian director i didn't attend t.v. take home the golden bear for her fellow touch you know. i'm out on a welcome to the program german chancellor angela merkel is set to announce her cabinet picks today to solidify a grand coalition with the social democrats and merkel's choices will determine the future direction of the cd used political compass and several senior politicians in our party have been outspoken about wanting to pivot the party's politics to the rice marco is tips to appoint sean as the health minister and the thirty seven year old is an outspoken critic of her welcoming. refugee policy choices would signal a shift to the right and it could also appease calls for fresh talent in the party as with the appointment of year gluck as minister for agriculture the forty five year old is known as a loyal ally of merkel. for more on this now we're going to cross over to mechanic hefner the w. political correspondent standing by for us at the headquarters here in berlin and mikhail or i believe there will be some

joining is white house budget director mick mulvaney also the acting director of the consumer financial protection board, mr. director those issues are important. but first bad week for white house in terms of personnel. why should women wonder if the white house doesn't have a lacks attitude when it comes to the question of domestic abuse? >> i think what you saw happen this week was completely reasonable and normal. the president had -- >> garrett: reasonable and normal this. >> had someone working for him to came said i've been accused of this, falsely accused of this, please don't believe it, it's not true. if your cameraman said that, you'd give that perp the benefit of the doubt or at least you want to do that because you know that person and you trust that person. that's what the president did. up until the time that it became obvious when photographs came out that the person was not being honest with the president that person after that happened, we dismissed that person immediately. that's an ordinary, very human reaction to the set of circumstance, you don't with the too throw

director pompeo? >> the last part of your question about this past almost week at the olympics, we should all -- the american people should remember that kim yo jong is the head of the propaganda and agitation department. there is no indication there's any strategic change in the outlook for kim jong-un and his design to retain his nuclear capacity to threaten the united states of america, no change there. >> admiral rogers? >> i would just say if kim jong-un thinks he can split the relationship between ourselves and the south koreans he is sadly mistaken. >> and finally, lieutenant general ashley? >>. >> no change to his strategic calculus. under the kim jong-un you've seen a much for deliberate effort in terms of readiness. you have a million man army, 70% of it is south of pyongyang and they train in a deliberate fashion. his calculus is not changing and we shouldn't be misled by the events taking place by the olympics. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman, my time is up. >> senator feinstein? >> tha

the director of national intelligence, the cia director and the man who i think will be the man of the hour today, christopher wray, director of the fbi. remember, wray was confirmed last year overwhelmingly. donald trump's own pick to lead the fbi. he's been seldom heard from in public since. and today i think he will face a lot of questions on everything from the nunes memo from a few weeks ago to the background check process at the white house and yes to the russia investigation and to his relationship with rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, who has been so much in the spotlight over the last couple of weeks. again, a wide-range iing -- [ inaudible ] >> i'm going to have to interrent you and let ou viewers know not to adjust your television set, it's not you, it's us. we've got some audio problems. i think you may be too deep into the burrows of capitol hill. we'll come back once we get the audio worked out on that. our guest specializes in u.s. defense and intelligence, he was also staff director for the house intelligence director for several years back when it did what it w

ladies and gentlemen, director randolph alles. [applause]. director alles: thanks so much, tom. it is an honor to be here. i want to recognize the leaders from the atlanta area and this room. i also want to thank our law enforcement partners who are critical to what the secret service does. it is an important part of our mission set. it is an honor to address you all and a privilege to work with each one of you. particularly with our law enforcement partners. i want to talk to you about cyber. as it particularly impacts the financial sector of the united states. i am sure that is of interest to you all. it is one of the mission of the secret service. by statute, we are obligated to protect the president and other designees. we are responsible for financial crimes, counterfeiting, and supporting state and local agencies in terms of child exploitation. those are our primary statutory mission sets. i will talk about the cyber area today. i will talk about the impact of cyber overall and the financial sector. i have my wallet back here. it has some cash in it, all right? it does not

aside the romanian director excuse me adding it. this is a film that was very close and motional and very it was the word i'm looking for explicit look at human sexuality that's true there is a lot of nudity in the movie and a lot of explicit sex scenes as well what makes it really interesting that it's not just about the intimacy of heterosexual couples and there are also other couples and transgender people severely disabled people speaking out about intimacy and intimacy problems and so that's really really interesting take but there are blood lines between a documentary and fiction and what we should mention is that that he is one of only four women directors whose films are in the competition section of the ballet now the other sections of the bailing out i have about forty percent female directors but the competition's actually has a reason got a little bit worse on that so we're pulling for a woman to at least win best director here area and four out of nineteen in that competition i understand thank you so much and also mela

i'm told that he is like others at the fbi who i do know, like director comey, like deputy director mccabend others. and they're trying to stand up for the integrity of not only the fbi but for the rule of law in this country and what they're -- when wray says -- wray's drawing this line and i think it will be difficult for him to stay where he is leading the fbi if the president makes this move and the president is somebody who i assess not to be an honorable man and he probably doesn't understand that people have principles and draw lines sometimes and sometimes that's necessary and wray's done that. i don't know what he'll do in the end, i think it is very difficult for him to stay having drawn this line if the president ignores it. >> i just read that statement from the fbi agents association but you know what's missing, i had an fbi insider tell me is what's missing is other intelligence agency voices. this is all about fisa processes and all these intel agencies all depend on that, right? you're one big community, so where is the cia, where's mike pompeo on this, standing behind dire

no more director comments. public comment on the director's report. >> yes, paula cats has submitted a speaker card. >> ms. cats. how much time? >> thank you, two minutes, please. >> thank you. >> hi, i'm paula cats with save our stops here once again. i would like to thank supervisor norman yee, director of transportation ed reskin and staff for working out a proposal that will save our stop at 17th avenue across from safeway. so over 600 riders won't end up having to cross busy 19th avenue every day. we are glad that director has recognized how vital this stop is to the community. and has agreed it should not be removed. we look forward to working with staff on this project in the coming months. i understand that when the rapid project is back on the agenda at your board meeting, the staff will recommend that you keep our 17th avenue safeway stop. we hope that you will vote to do so. we'll be there once again to support keeping this stop. i'm turning in this public event forward to you and thank you very much

directors report. executive director griggs. >> president scott: by my likes, director griggs, this is you are i don't final acting executor directioner report. is that correct? >> i believe that is correct it. >> president scott: i would like to take the opportunity again to commend you on your leadership and work on behalf of the system during this transition. so thank you. >> thank you. appreciate that. >> so on this director's report i wanted to focus on a few thing we started talking about on the budget and other issues we are starting for 2018 but just to start with our personnel. we currently have a 1209 position and three 1210 positions that we are looking at or starting reviews and these are benefits analyst so these work on the member services. the 5320. we let the communications department stay in the department today instead of coming to the meeting because they've been work really hard on the next item which is the annual report and the demographics report but abbey, the new director had a

the director of the fbi says it is.ot about attacking mueller, but the president says it is. so, it's just not acceptable to anyone who disagrees with that point of view to let it be out there. >> we've got to take a quick break. again, more news ahead. we'll be right back. that's it -- is this for us? oh, this is it for us. thanks for watching 360. up next the cnn special report. more news ahead. next time, i want you on my bowling team.

yeah and berlin is a real hot spot for reining directors i mean you have to rein in directors when here in last couple of years two thousand and eleven with the film a separation from the one big here one the golden bear went on to win the oscar really powerful movie which looks at. this crisis around through the crisis in the family and then taxi film just a couple of years ago another indian film that won here from a blacklisted director so well it's always been a real important showcase for really the most important political films to come out of iran for all right scott roxboro charlot tell something else thank you guys catch up later. and you're watching the daily news we still have a lot more to tell you about including after allegations of meddling in the u.s. election how the russians tried undermining a lot this upcoming poll that suggestion coming in from the defense ministry well have all the details and also going to the top of the hour. every journey begins with the first step and every language but the first word published in the. week oh he's in germany to learn german wh

>> the idea that, women directors aren't as recognized in hollywood as male directors or aren't given or do you think that's the case? >> yeah, i think it is the case for sure. >> lady bird. greta gerwig. >> remember when katherine bigelow won. i, i think it matters seeing, seeing it, and, hearing the names and, just it means so much to me to be nominated. >> ronan says watching gerwig behind the scenes was a lightbulb moment. i read you for the first time thought i could be a director too when you saw female director doing it? >> it wasn't until i watched greta speak about her experience and getting the film made how she sort of, crafted this, this style that, that she had developed that i kind of went, like, oh, she is a great director. she is not just an actor turned director. >> gerwig says she hopes to be an inspiration for aspiring female directors of all ages. >> women in their 40s, 50s, 60s i want them to go make their movies. make they had the it locked inside they haven't done it yet. >> is dad depressed? >> while lady bird senters around a mother daughter relationship for h

the director of the fbi says it is. he says it's not about attacking mueller. says it is. so it's just not acceptable to anyone who disagree was that point of view to let it be out. >> we have to take a quick break. again, more news ahead. we'll be right back. thank you -- that's it. this is it for us. thanks for watching 360 jim krut o with a special report ahead. . mine's way better. this one's below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one has leather seats! use the cars.com app to compare price, features and value. >>> this is a cnn special report just hours from now, the secret memo at the center of an extraordinary clash between the president and his fbi director is likely to be made public. i'm jim sciutto. >> and pamela brown. the memos released could have serious consequences for the trump white house over the russia investigation and even for american security. breaking tonight, a senior administration official says that president trump plans to green light the release of the memo that accusing the fbi of surveillance abuses in the russ
