and the chairman of the house intelligence committee congressman ryan mike rogers who was in that sixty minutes piece last night he spoke so let me just play a little bit of what he said. we don't have a lot of time and what people don't realize is that we are in a war today in cyberspace it's happened in every single day and this is the biggest national security threat i can think of that we are not prepared to handle in this country today. so chairman rogers of course the author of says a bill that has not become law but as the chairman of the house intelligence committee this is a common theme china russia iran they are out to get us it's time to build up the arsenal and protect ourselves so talk a little bit about you mentioned this before cyber security as it relates to some of these foreign companies wanting to expand their businesses here well politics definitely comes into play here you see it in both the romney and obama campaign an effort to get tough against china this could very well be an outgrowth of that but also of concern is the idea of the marketplace for cyber securit

it's prompted an outcry in washington and a year-long investigation by the house intelligence committeed concerns about national security, chinese espionage, and huawei's murky connections to the chinese government. huawei's world headquarters is located on this sprawling google-esque campus in shenzhen, not far from hong kong. china's first international conglomerate is a private company, ostensibly owned by its 140,000 employees, but exactly how that works and other details of corporate governance are closely held secrets. what we do know is that huawei is now the world leader in designing and building fourth- generation communication networks, known as 4-g, the latest technology for moving high volumes of phone calls, data, and high definition video. its innovative low-cost systems have already captured markets in africa, latin american and europe. now, with huawei eyeing potential customers in the u.s., congressional leaders and the national security establishment are doing everything they can to prevent it from happening. do we trust the chinese? >> mike rogers: if i were an americ

bid to build the next generation of telecom infrastructure in the united states but a house intelligence committee report released today questions weighs motivations and ties to the chinese military report reads china has the means opportunity and motive to use telecommunications companies for malicious purposes the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee mike rogers told sixty minutes walk away if i were an american company today and you were looking at way i would find another vendor. if you care about your intellectual property if you care about your consumers' privacy and you care about the national security the united states of america unfortunately this really has nothing to do with china it's about our insane policies because of years of so-called free trade policies there are no longer any american alternatives beyond cisco when it comes to building telco telecom infrastructure in the united states that's insane this is a serious economic and national security concern whether it's a chinese company or canadian company the united states used to lead the world in telecom tech

the house intelligence committee knew 12 hours after the attack that it was indeed an attack. days following, many of us asked the question to the intelligence community and the white house, say if there was a spontaneous eruption, if there was video of some type of protest. we'd like to see the video. we never got that video. we never got pictures. why? there never was a protest. this was an attack. >> judge jeanine: we know that. congressman, excuse me for interrupting. we know that is the case. it was a lie. so my question is, the question that i believe most american people have is what are the consequences to lying? congressman, micah, i go back to you. on the issue of the standard, we know the consulate in benghazi didn't have the physical requirement of the height of the gate, the perimeter of the closeness to the border. and then i hear that congress is considering spending $12 million to protect the libyan border when we won't even protect the border to our own embassy. what is the state department thinking? >> well, again, you've got people who had information. that t

the chairman of the house committee on intelligence suggests no one, not verizon, comcast, at&t should buy equipment from wawei or zte. critics of the report say if congress is really being genuine that chinese products could be doctored in a way to stop spying, why stop at those two? after all, parts of just about any device including sysco's or apple's or hp's or any other company tend to be made in china. back to you. >> thank you, scott. >>> let's check back in with christina loren to find out what's happening outside. fill us in on the forecast. what's happening? >> a little something for everyone this week, guys. good morning to you, jon and marla. good morning to you at home. let's take you outside and show you what we're looking at. high atop san bruno mountain. we have clouds out there. a little area of low pressure is stirring up trouble. as we head throughout the day, we'll see light isolated showers. better chance of that scenario as we head through tomorrow. you can see we have dark bottom clouds out there. keep that in mind. you don't have to dig out the um brehm la yet.

of the intelligence committee don't get a daily report on whether the president got a update on not, but the reports are accurate, then i'm astonished because i can tell you, members of the houseelligence committee and members of the senate intelligence committee in bipartisan way asking hard and tough questions of the intelligence community on daily basis. often times more than once a day. we were demanding to know what went on. if the president was not doing that, then i would be shocked. >> bret: you were saying from the beginning you were hearing it was a military type attack. terrorists attack and terrorist related and coordinated. >> no question about it. unfortunately we did not have the right kind of intelligence to let us know it was going to happen. nor did we have the right intelligence after it happene happened. based on the information we had, we knew pretty quickly that it was a planned attack. carried out by terrorists who obviously that were focused on this particular consulate. we can only assume that it was al-qaeda attack or affiliate. turns out it looks like what it was. >> bret: only a few second here. last night the president said the sequester, the defen

last week, the house intelligence committee warned private and public sector organizations from buying products from huawei, but -- alleging that they pose a security risk, which the company is humanly denies. this has put defense contractors in the middle of two political forces. they want to -- giving a 60-day report -- notice from the sequestration. senator mccain said the notice is politically noted and seeks to stop it. political forces prevented the merger of two enormous contractors, eads, and bae. do they need to keep an eye on business opportunities as well as the political forces behind them? for this and david smallwood: maryland money needs to stay in maryland.d. it's just that simple, i mean, it's a no brainer. anncr: every year marylanders spend five hundred and fifty... million at casinos in west virginia, delaware... and pennsylvania. one west virginia paper calls it a "cash cow" for them. but its cost maryland over one billion dollars. money that could have created good jobs and... better schools for us. question seven keeps maryland money in maryland. david smallwood:

"outfront" tonight, the buck stops at the white house. cnn has learned that the white house chose to leave out key intelligence from the attack on americans in libya. now, there were three things u.s. intelligence has confirmed to be tree. the attacks were preplanned, terrorist attacks and the work of al-qaeda linked groups. intelligence expert who has worked in the pentagon for two decades tells "outfront" the key information left out of the talking points can only mean the administration is covering something up. u.s. intelligence knew about the al qaeda link within 24 hours of the attacks. and the now infamous comments by susan rice saying the

the house intelligence committee says u.s. businesses shouldn't trust hem.when you look at what is at stake, what information is at stake, what critical infrastructure we would open up to the very threat of both cyber espionage and potential cyber attack if our adversaries so desired, we can come to no other conclusion. >> reporter: the report says huawei in particular may have broken u.s. law and that the committee says it is referring the case to the fbi and the justice department. in a statement huawei says: the report released by the committee today employs many humors and speculations to prove nonexistence accusations. the integrity of huawei's operations and the quality and security of our products are world proven across 140 countries around the world, they are deployed by over 500 operators, and our products have served almost three billion people worldwide. zte has not responded to a request for comment. this report only recommends the government and businesses avoid these companies. to block them requires treasury's committee on foreign investment.

a draft of report by the house intelligence committee says they cannot be trusted to be free of chinese estates influence and so pose a security threat to the u.s. and its systems. the two firms denied being influenced by the chinese government. john sudworth is in shanghai. what is the reaction there to this congressional hearing? >> there's been a statement out by the chinese foreign ministry suggesting that the chinese telecommunications companies operate within the law, but they have gained their success through their own commercial competitiveness and that they should not be singled out by u.s. congressional committees for criticism in this way. so it appears the chinese government is already lining up in defense. this is a damning report from an official body singling out two companies by name and suggesting that they simply have not done enough over the course of this investigation to demonstrate that they are free from influence from beijing. >> my understanding is the foreign ministry has done slightly more than just condemn this. have they not said this is the result of some k

in today's report, house intelligence committee raises further questions about just exact what i what the relationship between this corporation is and the chinese government. it's been a key question. but for all of the questioning, a lot of it is conjecture. this aren't that many hard facts here, something i did ask chairman rogers about earlier today. >> we've had information from former and current huawei employees. we have both classified information. our foreign partners, australians and the british and others have passed along information they've seen whether it comes to huawei's activities which i think is a very clear indication i have no problem saying i would not use huawei equipment. i'd find other vendors. if you care about your consumer's data and the national security of the united states you need to look elsewhere. >> of course if you do believe, as i do, given my reporting on it, that the chinese are incredibly aggressive when it comes to cyber espionage, sue, and then you believe much wlaf of what is in this report, you certainly come to the conclusion if there is a t

mike rogers is the chairman of the house intelligence committee and he's "outfront" tonight.od to see you as always. let me start with this. there isn't a big difference between the president and governor romney, at least when they talk about iran. they both want sanctions, they don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. but based on your intelligence that you receive, how close is it iran to that capability, to use that crucial word, to build a nuclear weapon, if that's what they want? of course, they say that's not what they want. >> it's pretty clear. i don't think anyone denies fact they're work towards a nuclear weapon. clearly our relationship with the israelis, others, even others in the middle east, will tell you, intelligence services will tell you, they're well on their way to get a nuclear weapon. here's the thing. they hit a very important milestone in the pursuing of a nuclear weapon, erin. they hit that magic 20% enrichment rate. so from 0 to 20% really difficult to do, very hard to do. they have had some problems, had some equipment failures and other things. bu
