i'm general hayden, we're thinking about you. american intelligence agencies are secret organizations operating in a democracy. and the secret part of that makes it difficult to convince the public, which is the democracy part of it, that the intelligence community is number one operating within the bounds of the constitution. and statute and regulations. number two, it's actually doing the job that it's supposed to do. and actually protecting the country. and number three that it's doing all of that in a way using the money, the taxpayers' money in a way that makes sense. doing all of that efficiently. and at the end of the day. the way you square that, the way you square that, giving the public that sense of those three things, is oversight. >> and there were a lot of different mechanisms to oversight. >> number two that we think about the most are congressional oversight and oversight by the media. >> there are a lot of oversight mechanisms in the executive branch for what happens inside the intelligence community and that's w

hayden: easily.het back the expectations around the rate hikes, lower implosion rates happening -- inflation rates happening here, we expect it to start to slow, not collapse. you throw that into the mixing bold, you can see them invert again. obviously, risk assets around the world are under a lot of pressure. we know the financial's asian -- tion, that is all a pretty toxic mix. it could invert quite easily here, i think. paul: in terms of the u.s. dollar, you are forecasting a blowoff top rally. could you lay out your case for us? hayden: fundamentally, the u.s. dollar should be selling off. you have a twin deficit that is growing and growing by the day. but i think, technically, there is a huge short in u.s. dollars around the world, particularly in emerging market countries, so as the u.s. has repatriated money, we see a very strong u.s. dollar. a good clean out in the u.s. dollar back to the highs if you are looking at the dxy. it could go beyond that. we still think there is a big squeeze to g

his policy saudi arabia do you think this fight about because it was more aimed or as much as i did hayden as it was perhaps the crime points in self. well absolutely and there are two kind of things to think about here one that that's unfortunate that you know it's come to this point for the congress to actually have to take some action i mean it certainly took them long enough to play a very safe political game waiting for the trumpet ministrations you to take action . so it's sad that this wasn't on their agenda earlier so that's kind of also placing where relationships with saudi arabia in the murder of a u.s. resident kind of ways in congress about the second this is absolutely a referendum on swords on donald trump himself and i think a lot of people quite frankly were shocked by his behavior related to relationships in saudi arabia and the particular murder that the way he talked about in such a cavalier manner and his delay in doing anything he still hasn't really taken any steps in acknowledging what his own government is saying that show there's an argument to be that of her role

any old saint but to michael the hero the general of the angels with his soldierly demeanor dame hayden . james i doubt it. any skin at all. this full of the revelation jewels was completed in seven hundred twenty six during the reign of the austrian emperor col the six. the michael motif had become much more than merely a central christian motif it also signified gaunts forgiveness and the emperor as grand. the church of saint col as the most significant brought edifice in vienna makes that very clear. it is a sacred building with imperial aspirations the church was intended to symbolize the connection between rome and by send him between the west and the east roman churches that is why it looks rather like the hardiest sophia in istanbul and contains its imitation trojan columns this too has to be understood in an allegorical way the absolute monarchs of the modern era wanted to appear as glorious as the roman emperors. in the coppola is the ecclesia with an allegorical figure representing the one true church she wears a gorgeous cloak as the holy grail in her hand and holds the eucha

that's what hayden said. so we have before us a nominee for the national counterterrorism center which has some involvement with developing these kill lists. so we asked him that question. i said, do we kill people based on metadata? the nonanswer was very interesting. he said, well, i can't tell you because i'm not in government. well, my guess is he's been in government and he's been in the military, he probably knows the answer but he's saying he won't tell the answer because he's not in government. so we said, ask the people who are in government do we kill people based on metadata. you know what every one of them said? none of my business. so i was elected to the u.s. senate to represent an entire state and the people of the administration had the audacity to say if you want to know that, won't you join the intelligence committee. see, a democratic republic is where all the elected officials have oversight, not where only a select few. often a select few who actually are always in agreement with more pow

hayden for having us here in this beautiful hall. thank you very much. i remember meeting your mom right here on this stage not too long ago. you know, any time i come here, i can't help but think back to this pivotal time in my life. it was the summer of 2012. i was about to speak at a local chamber of commerce group when i got this phone call right up there in the reading room which is where many of us members of congress go to. the phone call was from beth meyers from the romney campaign. at this point, you know, i knew i was being 'vetted for vice president but i hadn't heard anything. i didn't know how serious this was. i didn't think they'd pick a guy from the house anyway. so beth starts to walk me through how i would need to fly up to boston incognito. she goes through all these logistics of what is about to occur. and it just starts occurring to me, that my life, my family's life is about to change dramatically. that call was right outside that door there. we hang up. i go up to the reading room and give that speech. then i realize i've got to g

let's go now to hayden how difficult is it for the administration to change course on this off to we just had the g. twenty had been someone was the people shook hands with him it sort of it felt as though they had moved on from this whole issue what they need to how do they how to come back from that to think. well the president could come back from that he could simply say i have new evidence or i've heard members of the senate but he's given no indication that he has any intention of changing his mind on this but the president though he's cephalus of the message as you mentioned that he'd like this to go away let's move on people and there's a lot of stuff going on in the united states right now just to give you a sense we're waiting for a very important filing from special counsel robert muller when it comes to michael flynn the former national security adviser that should come down any minute the stock market is absolutely tanking right now in large part because of the president's tweets and his past comments about any sort of deal with china but if you turned on any cable news

general mike hayden has written a book about this very eloquently so describing this assault on truthtions that depend on truth and why that's dangerous to any democracy particularly this one. and i think he was chastising people who either acquiesce or defend this assault on truth. >> the attack on the 2016 election has continued after the 2016 election. these two new reports including one tonight which to say some of these attacks were on special counsel robert mueller and his investigation. again, you were in the middle of it all through the inauguration. are you surprised that the russian efforts have continued until now? >> no, absolutely not. and john, i have to say it's very gratifying for me to read about these reports because they simply reinforce or buttress what we said in our intelligence community assessment in january of 2017. and remember the first objective of the russians was to sow doubt, discord and discontent in this country and they've succeeded in further exploiting divisiveness in this country. second was doing all they could to damage hillary clinton's candidac

lot of news going on this hasn't faded from the headlines which tells me it's not going to see how hayden thank you very much a quick recap this breaking news this our senior senator is in the usa the time has come for the trumpet ministration to condemn saudi arabia for the merger. or congress will act cia chief gina hospital has been briefing senate is on capitol hill she's one of the few western officials have heard already a recording this from inside the saudi consulate in istanbul she was killed senators who emerged from the meeting seemed unified in their segment of what she had to say saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman. and must be held to account. or publicans had a to chat session he says that must be a price to pay for the killing i have zero question in my mind that the crown prince m.b.'s ordered the killing monitor detailing knew exactly what was happening planned in advance if he was in front of a jury you would be convicted in thirty minutes guilty. so. the question is what we do about that. i want to make sure that saudi arabia is put on notice that business as usua

i take no pleasure in saying that because it's the great general hayden told me, joe, we only have onewe've got to do everything we can to make that president succeed. he told me that during the transition. other leaders told me that during the transition. i a took that to heart and i know that they were right. but we all can't do it alone. donald trump, at some point, needed to step up and show leadership. and if he couldn't do it, then those around him who would influence him should have done it. as some of you know, i left the republican party less over donald trump than i did over the fact that almost every elected official in the gop has bowed and scraped to donald trump. treating this man, whose skills are objectively declining on a daily basis, treating this man like he was an emperor wearing the finest clothes ever made when, in fact, effectively, donald trump is on track to be the worst president of all times and perhaps ever pushing james buchanan off that dubious perch. and i haven't even brought up the mueller investigation and the fact that this president has practically a

as mike hayden used to say, if it was a fact, it wouldn't be intelligence. fact that pompeo and mattis used that locution was really disingenuous, right? >> trumpian. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> there are intercepts that show khashoggi speaking to the leader of the plot, according to reporting, that essentially gave those senators very high assurance that he was involved and the cia assessed with a strong level of confidence based on a mosaic of circumstantial evidence and somehow these defense and state leaders decided to spin that for political purposes. >> is and undunder oath, they w to answer the question who told you to offer that explanation? >> exactly. >> the president can exert executive privilege. his cabinet cannot. i was reminded this isn't the first time the president has chosen to trust whatever he calls it, his big, huge, giant brain, whatever, over the collective analysis of the intelligence community. the first time was russia. >> yeah, exactly. and as with russia, we have to ask what his motivations are here. is it because he has financial

a lot of people, like mike hayden who remains in other prayers, so many professionals on both sides of aisle said gina haspel, it is critical to have her in there because she would not be trump's cia director, she would be america's cia director. we see if that is the case today. >> yes, we do. >> i am strongly confident that she will tell them the information the cia has. >> i am absolutely confident. i think she wasn't there because they knew she would speak the truth and i'm waiting for it. >>> still ahead, president trump lays out the details of his trade deelts wial with china, b description doesn't completely match that of the white house or china for that matter. with my bladder leakage, the products i've tried just didn't fit right. they were too loose. it's getting in the way of our camping trips. but with a range of sizes, depend fit-flex is made for me. with a range of sizes for all body types, depend fit-flex underwear is guaranteed to be your best fit. ♪ ♪ this holiday season, families near you need your help. visit redcross.org now to donate. from capital one.nd i switche

it reminds me what the great general michael hayden says. which is you can look and see who donald trump has gone toer war against. it's the intel communities. it's the justice department. it's the courts. it's the media. it's the academy. it's the sciences. fact finds, people whose entire existence is based on digging for the truth and letting americans know what that truth is. and we saw that yesterday with gina haspel at the cia. i know that general hayden had to be so proud of her. >> absolutely. yesterday was the day when you saw the truth will out and the power of it. once those senators had heard it, you know, listen to what they said. there's zero question of what mbs did, that he's complicit in murder. there's still a question of what the united states does about it. saudi arabia is bigger than one person. and there's a real -- should we send a delegation to see the king? >> i know we have to go to the next block, but let me ask you really quickly, how much oil do we get from saudi arabia and how much oil do we get from canada? ther

. >> the challenge of social media today, such a powerful medium, what it's really doing, general hayden has written about this recently, the former cia director, it's ghettoghettoizin people -- people who are already inclined to think one way read more on their facebook page about what their friends are saying, people who think like them. pushing everyone to the edges. >> you're arguing against your own proposition that eyeballs seek truth. eyeballs are seeking confirmation of their own truth. >> you're exactly right about that. i wonder whether, though, this debate we're having in america about what it means to be in this post-truth era, what it means to have ghettoization of people's views, whether that allows us to spring back. you're right. i used my own optimism that we're spring back and recover and force these institutions to fix themselves. i don't think it's productive. i say institutions. tease organizati these organizations. facebook, twitter, social media companies. are they going to trend more like traditional newspapers and media organizations who see their role as trying
