anchor: congresswoman, you sit on the intelligence committee.rivy to information about what is happening internally and russia. these sanctions targeting ability of russia to borrow money. is that something you think could change the behavior of president putin potentiall >> i certainly think the aggression in crime era -- crimea is a major reason for the sanctions imposed, and economic sanctions could be particularly detrimental to russia. as i said earlier, i do believe they are significant. i believe the economic sanctions will help to change behavior and also keep it in mind that a functional relationship between russia and the united stes is what is necessary, and i do believe that it will get president putin's attention and it will be beneficial. anchor: are you concerned though, congresswoman, that ssia might be trying to draw the united states and nato into some kind of conflict over ukraine? >> you know, let me say this. is difficult i think to be absolutely certain about exactly what president putin is willing to do, but as i also said

prior to his time as d&i he served on the house committees on intelligence, homeland security, and the judiciary committees, and prior to that served in the department justice as a u.s. attorney prosecuting counterintelligence cases as you and i have discussed before. most recently was named co-chairman of the center for american security at the america first policy institute. so welcome today, and it is delightful to have this conversation with you. >> david, let me just say it's a pleasure to be here. i thank dr. karafano and heritage foundation for inviting me. such a great institution, and a privilege to be here. but to you personally, i think our audience needs to know that in addition to the things that dr. carafano said, you served as an adviser to me as the director of national intelligence on the advisory board, and it was great to work with you and great to be with you today. >> thank you for those kind words. as the old refrain goes, inquiry minds want to know. and in so doing, we want to know what you think about the wide array of threats that we face that are either presen

russian w intelligence but they never described why manafort was giving campaign intelligence to him. the senate committee described kilimnick bluntly as somebody who was a russian intelligence officer, let's just cut to the chase. but as to why trump's campaign chair was giving a russian intelligence officer sensitive n internal campaign polling data during the campaign? the senate intelligence committee said they couldn't tell. quote, on numerous occasions manafort sought to secretly share internal campaign information with kilimnick. the committee was unable to reliably determine why manafort shared information with kilimnick or with whom kilimnick shared that information. the committee had limited insight into kilimnick's communications with manafort or to other individuals all of whom used communications security practices. in other words, these guys all used encrypted channels to communicate so we don't have any visibility into it, we don't know what kilimnick, this russian intelligence agent, did with the secret campaign data. we don't know who he passed it on to, if anyone, because he used encrypt

that was the senate intelligence committee's bipartisan conclusion, and now we know that this informationack to these intelligence agencies. so pretty direct chain here. >> can you tell us if this was -- if this is newly developed information, developed during the biden administration, or whether this was known within the intelligence community during the trump administration? >> you know, that's a good question. we certainly knew that there were links between kilimnik and russian intelligence. but this statement by treasury goes further than anything i've seen the intelligence community relate so far. now, it may very well be that the agencies had reached this conclusion before, and i don't know whether that was shared or not shared. but it's the first time that i'm seeing it in print and certainly the first time it's being made public. >> what else do you think we might end up learning? in what areas might we end up learning new things about 2016 or 2020 elections? >> well, you know, i think we'll continue to learn more, and this is frankly the case with the intelligence process, and th

before shift topics you are a member of the senate committee on intelligence. as a member of that committee written about how russia missed use the treaty how they were able to miss use that treaty to threaten national security. as you know the previous administration used or prescribed control mechanism to end that threat to u.s. national security but i'm curious he could talk for little bit about why this was both necessary and proper? >> i think it was really outdated because at the time, basically flying over united states flying over russia or the soviet union would have been the way to identify various military buildups. now we have overhead, satellites and very sophisticated capabilities. it really has become sort of obsolete. but we also knew that russia was using this as an opportunity to commit espionage in the united states. i hate to say this, it sounds pretty blunt but russia cheats. whether the open skies treaty or the inf treaty with limited ground base nuclear missiles. and so, really i think putin was trying to get a pr advantage and act like th

intelligence committee backing off reports that russia put bounties on the heads of u.s. story. our intel agencies have low to moderate confidence in the reports meeting the story is at best unproven and possibly untrue. but last year president biden, democrats and the media often cited the reports to attack former president trump with some even crying treason. this is "outnumbered," i'm emily compagno. here today, my cohosts harris faulkner and kayleigh mcenany, morgan ortagus and joining us today in the center seat, jason chaffetz, former utah congressman and a fox news contributor.

he talked instead of talking about intelligence, remember he's the intelligence of chair committee, instead, he then switched and talked about the public reporting of the hype. instead of giving us caution, he went with the hype. this is how you manipulate intelligence, and yet, he is the head of the intelligence committee. this is like the ninth time that we have now seen him live. he should be removed as the chairman of the intelligence committee. he does not know how to deal with it. >> sean: let me bring in joe concha. the media, this is what they have done for years. lies, conspiracy theories, one hoax after another, they get their facts wrong, they spread propaganda misinformation as project veritas revealed this week. no retraction ever, no apology ever. and then they go onto the next set of lies. how did they get away with it? >> that is the thing, sean, you will hear the excuse, well, we are human beings i made a mistake. a bad source that lead us astray. it is funny during the entire trump administration those four years, five years if you include the campaign, the mistakes went o

you are the chairman of the intelligence committee. were you aware and what is the u.s.rd? >> there are efforts by foreign nations, bad actors, to propagate some of lies pushed out in the last election by the president and continue to be peddled on qanon and other conspiracy based organizations online. look. in particular russia loves to try to tear at the fabric of our society, try to pit americans against other americans and to the degree they can help discredit our democracy by amplifying the fictions about the last election then they're meeting their objectives so i think calls on us to be vigilant about the information that we get to be skeptical what we see online and also to send a clear message to russia, china, iran, anyone else trying to interfere that they do so at the peril. >> i want to ask you about the coronavirus pandemic. the u.s. is still battling the pandemic and indications that the supply of covid-19 vaccines may outstrip demand. the daily average of average doses administered beneath 3 million zbr i want to play what senator johnson on the republica

now senator burr of north carolina is doing a hearing the right way the senate intelligence committee. he's conducting the hearings in a very nonpartisan. way that everybody should be proud of that both. he he and senator from the virginia. have decided that they were going to have nonpartisan hearings and they it can be done if you have people at the top agreeing to do it in sticking with it, but on the house side, i've seen nothing but acrimony. sure in in watergate you had you had turmoil you had people that didn't didn't like what we're doing. we we were receiving by the way over 40,000 pieces of mail a week. that's astounding and i said mail not email. not text, but you know horse and buggy mail. and it was it was very controversial. but at the same time it did not have on capitol hill the hatred that we have today that that's another difference between now now and the watergate era. and in the nixon in the clinton impeachment. there was a lot of acrimony there, but still you had a system there. that was not all bifurcated trafficking if there's another word quadra quadrificated.

those un intelligence committees. the foreign relations committee, defense committees. you know, well, we have to remain vigilant against threats. united states wherever they come from. al qaeda and isis are in yemen, syria, somalia. other places in africa and the middle east and beyond. and we won't ignore what are intelligence determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to homeland today. white supremacy we're not going north that either. my fellow americans look. we have to come together. to heal the soul of this nation. there's nearly a year ago before father's shoe. when i spoke with gianna floyd george george young daughter. she's a little tikes kneeling down and talk to her. so i could look her in the eye. she looked to be said. my daddy changed the world. after the conviction of george floyd's murder. we can see how right she was. if. if we have the courage to act of congress. we've all seen an even justice in the neck of black americans. now is our opportunity to make some real progress. the vast majority of men and women were in uniform in a bad serve. o

here is what the two -- the chair and vice-chair of the intelligence committee just put out this statementybody in the intelligence community, mr. pennetta, said this is a weapon that did this. i have to tell you, i'm curious, what is your knowledge about technology like that? >> well, you are right, i'm not read into the latest in terms of the intelligence on this. from the beginning when this was beginning to happen, it was pretty clear that there was technology being used that could jury people just by virtual of being able to send sound waves and various other approaches into an embassy. what that weapon is, how it works -- obviously, that's what the intelligence committee and our intelligence officials are trying to pin down. we are now living at a time when that kind of technology is very real. and it can threaten people not by bullets, not by armed forces or boots on the ground. it can threaten people simply by using the capabilities to send a wave into an embassy and create mental damage. i think that's the kind of world we are living in, chuck. as i said, i'm not quite sure we're

kevin mccarthy did not take them off the intelligence committee. i do not get it. same thing with liz cheney. they voted to keep her in leadership after she voted to impeach our president. i wish i had another alternative. what is your comment, susan? guest: i think you are talking about feelings a lot of people in the republican party have right now. the storyline about republicans has been a party divided. one of the main political characters who helped sort of highlight the dividing line was president trump because too many voters, he was fearless -- to many voters, he was fearless and unapologetic. he did get a lot done. of course, he divided the party. he also suffered a lot of criticism. the voters are frustrated with their own party and some are frustrated because they do not like president trump. they are more of the political feeling that republicans should play bipartisanship more, should avoid big clashes with democrats, get rid of lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene. there is a real dividing line in the party right now. it will play out in the 2022 el

and then the senate intelligence committee looked at it too and they couldn't explain, and they went further in describing konstantin kilimnik bluntly as a intelligence officer. they said that he was associated with russian intelligence, we but they say that he is just a russian officer. as to why trump's campaign chair was giving a russian intelligence officer sensitive internal polling data during the campaign, the intelligence committee said that they couldn't tell. quote on numerous occasions they sought to secretly share information with konstantin kilimnik the, committee was unable to determine why paul manafort shared to data with konstantin kilimnik or with whom konstantin kilimnik further share that information. the committee had limited insight into konstantin kilimnik communication with paul manafort and that the communication between konstantin kilimnik and other individuals was unclear. in other words, these guys all hughes encrypted language, so we don't have any visibility. we don't know what konstantin kilimnik did when the trump campaign gave him their secret internal

says terrorism has metastasized the threat is of our way beyond afghanistan those are the intelligence committees the foreign relations committee defense committees you know well we have to remain vigilant against the threats the united states wherever they come from al qaeda in isis are in yemen syria somalia other places in africa in the middle east and beyond. and we won't ignore what our intelligence agency have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today. white supremacy as terrorists. we're not going to ignore that either my fellow americans look we have to come together to heal the soul of this nation was nearly a year ago before her father. when i spoke with john a florida george george young daughter she's a little tykes i was kneeling down to talk to her. so i could see look around ya she looks huge said my dad he changed the world. well after conviction and george george murder. we can see how right she was if if we have the courage to act of congress her we've all seen and even justice on the neck of black americans now's your opportunity to make some real

. >> senator, you're the chair of the intelligence committee in the senate.ed a series of new sanctions against russia for maligned activities which include election interference, which includes the solarwinds huge hack. did these sanctions go far enough in your mind? there are those saying, look, could have sanctioned the pipeliner or entities surrounding that pipeline. that would have set russia back. did these do anything or what do these do to stop them from maligned activities in the future? >> well, what biden's actions were, they were clearly much more than trump. he was willing to call out putin, something donald trump never did. donald trump managed to criticize virtually everybody involved in political activity in the united states and abroad with the exception of vladimir putin. but i've got to think -- i think we need to realize that sanctions alone, we could have gotten even tighter, but sanctions alone are not going to stop this type of activity. we have to look at ourselves as well. for example, on misinformation and disinformation. we still ha

on the other side, biden was one of the people who helped create the senate intelligence committee, whichd be the first congressional body that was going to have jurisdiction over cia activities. amy, there is a sort of two-pronged part of this history. on the one hand, biden seems to understand very well what richard nixon did during his time in office and very well how out of control the cia was. on the other hand, biden as a new senator starts to get a taste for what it means to have access to power, powerful people, classified information, and he develops this very complicated relationship with the cia, sort of in public and aggressive interrogator of the cia denouncing its secrecy and withlding of information from congress. on the other hand, joe biden aids and abets the cia not only in pushing covert operations and sellg wars t biden senate colleagues, but also aiding the cia in emerging and continuing to this day war against whistleblowers and leakers. juan: jeremy, i wanted to ask you, joe biden is unique among presidents i guess sin the post-world war ii era in terms of his under

she was the ranking democrat on the intelligence committee of 9/11. she was the leading voice against the iraq war from its start. she pushed through the legislation that helped prevent a great depression into 2008. she was the force behind the passage of the biggest expansion of health care since medicare and medicaid. and then her final chapter, she became the face of the democratic opposition to donald trump. host: but she became the face for republicans of big government. what was the political price she paid after the aca passed? guest: she lost her speakership. the democrats lost control of the house in the 2010 midterm election. it took them a long time to fight their way back to it. in 2018. chuck schumer, now the senate majority leader, said, soon after this happened, that the democrats lost so much ground in the congressional elections that it had been a mistake. he expressed regret. she rebuked him. she said it was not a mistake. it was the right thing to do. we came here to do things, not to get reelected. host: another statistic you had t

the regimes will continue to demand attention and resources from the intelligence committee and i'm interested in understanding how the intelligence community views the threat posed by iran, including the nuclear program and destabilizing activities in the region. how those actions may constrain the biden administration's diplomatic efforts. i hope our witnesses will frame the challenges we're facing from kim jong-un, what we may expect in the way of provocative actions and how we may affect a change in the behavior of that regime. as we heard from commanders last week, the threat posed by violent extremist groups persists. while president biden has announced a transition of forces out of afghanistan by september 11th, 2021, we must maintain the capability to continue to grade al qaeda, isis and other terrorist groups and prevent attacks on the homeland. i'm interested to hearing from the witnesses as to what measures would be most effectively used to contain these threats from these groups. turning briefly to the cyberthreats we face, hardly a week passes between revelations of serious breach

they were coming up every day and that includes why kevin mccarthy didn't take them off the intelligence committee. and i wish i had another alternative. >> we are talking about feeling a lot of people in the republican party havey right nw one of the main politicalso characters was president trump he kind of push forward with his agenda and he did get a lot done and he divided it, and he also suffered a lot of criticisms as well. so the voters have demonstratedd well with their own party and some are frustrated because they don't like president trump we should see if they can get rid of the lawmakers lawmakers like marjorie taylor green, so there's dividing line in the party especially of the former president gets involved and starts endorsing and campaigning for people. you will see those lines even more.is >> host: joining us is clay, thank you for joining us today, clay. >> caller: thank you for accepting myr call today. my question is i have watched them along the news, basically the senate commented that president joe biden did not hold enough news conferences. do you think that he was reall

while there's a lot of moderate assessment of these reports we felt it was important for our intelligence committee to look into it this information really puts the burden on russia and the russian government to explain their engagement here well last june it was reported that russian intelligence offered linked militants money to kill american soldiers in 29 doing the allegations were never proven that the pentagon itself said they could not corroborate the reports but that didn't stop the media from jumping on the un verified story vladimir putin is offering for the scalps of american soldiers in afghanistan now the european intelligence official called this callous shocking and reprehensible overnight president trump dismissed the intelligence denied being briefed on it as new reports emerged saying those payments did in fact lead to the death of americans russia has rejected the allegations but the foreign ministry the speculations phobias of the u.s. intelligence community. we got to take a former u.s. bring core intelligence officer scott ritter. the mere fact that you have politicians action

we're live as intelligence agency leaders prepare to testify to members of the senate intelligence committee on global threats. live coverage here on cspan three. >> the annual threat assessment describes an array of threats we are facing in the coming year, beginning with those emanating from key state actors and starting with china, which is an unparalleled priority for the intelligence community but we also look rat russia, iran and north korea in that context. china is a near competitor challenging the united states in multiple areas while pushing to revise global norms in ways that favor the chinese system. chinese employing a way to show its strengths. including its claims over disputed territory and assertions of sovereignty over taiwan. it also had substantial cyber capabilities if deployed at a minimum can cause localized disruptions to critical infrastructure inside the united states and while china has a threat to the united states, it's important to note it threatens the ability to complicate in the years ahead. we expect russia will continue to erode influences. while russia doe
