it really, i do think that relationship worked with jim clapper as dni and john brennan at cia directorbecause they figured out how to make it work. clapper was the perfect guy gon that job, and my opinion as dni. he didn't want to step on brain and toes, the cia director turkey wanted to help -- he wanted to buy leaving brennan to do his job as he saw fit. it worked. they got along. it was very rocky in the beginning and i gave an example of leon panetta and danny blair earlier where in the beginning quite frankly when the dni showed up at langley it was like he was greeted as -- at the gate. nobody at cia wanted to be meddled with by the dni, but it's a system, a restructuring that is working much more successfully now i think than it used to. the problem of course now currently, is that we have a director of national intelligence, in my opinion, john ratcliffe who is a partisan hack who frankly has really been serving the president's partisan purposes rather than being an honest broker of intelligence. so that is a serious problem. >> we have lots of questions, one, is about torture.

but with jim clapper at the dni and as cia director because they figured out how to make it work and r was the perfect guy in that job in my opinionat dni. he didn't want to step on brennan's toes, his cia director . he wanted to help by coordinating the other agencies and leaving brennan to do his job as he saw fit work. i think he was relaxing to be around and i gave an example earlier where in the beginning quite frankly, when the and i showed up at langley it was like he was greeted as visigoth at the gate. this was nobody at cia wanted to be middle with by the dni. but it's a system of restructuring is working much more successfully now i think bennett used to area of course now, currently we have a director of national intelligence in my opinion in john radcliffe who is a partisan hack who frankly is really has been serving the presidents purposes rather than being a broker of intelligence . so that is aserious problem . >> we have a lot of questions but i one is about torture. and when you talk about enhanced interrogation techniques as you put it that you took them a lot. igue

and i think that relationship works with jim clapper and brandon as cia director because they figured out how to make it work and clapper was the guy. and want to step on planet and chose. and to courtney the other agencies and to do his job as he saw fit. and then leon panetta where he said and then they showed up at langley and one that he meddled with but it is restructuring much more successfully now. and then to have the director of national intelligence with a partisan hack and then really been serving the president to be on the spoke of intelligence to. >> we have a lot of questions and one is about torture and with the interrogation techniques, and how you see the cia reflection on that. of time. it was only gone we should not have gone there. >> and will refer as those interrogation techniques and what the cia turmoils it's not the term i will use. and he gave me a hard time and supposed to be referring to. what is fascinating to me is first of all michael hayden said to me in a quotation that later became famous that if a president wants to order. anybody ever again he bette

around we did, on october 7, 2016 the director of national intelligence jim clapper and i issued a publicobama administration is publicly blaming russia for recent hack attacks on american political targets say tharg trying to targets saying they're trying to influence the election. >> no offense jeh johnson the defensive homeland security but he's not the president of the united states. why didn't the president issue it? he was afraid it would be misinprettied as him putting a thumb on for clinton. >> he takes a pass and leaves it up to homeland security to make the announcement through a low-key way, through the press, if you will. >> wasn't until after the election the main stream media came back to the russians attempting to influence our election. we send, yes, we told you about this in october. frankly, that statement which was unprecedented did not get at tension it deserved because of other events on friday october 7th. >> breaking news about donald trump, a decade-old audio tape surfacing today in which trump is heard making crude and vulgar comments about women, including how he

i think jim clapper really did inng it a long way coordinating all of the different intelligence agencies and the alphabets soup. and as a consumer of intelligence for a number of years in national security, i see now the virtue of doing it the way we do it. it got to the point that i also am a big fan of briefings. it was the most important part of my day to read the daily intelligence and get the verbal briefing later on. it would all be correlated through dni. every once in a while, you would get a dissenting opinion out of the alphabet soup. and it would say "dissenting opinion." comeld have the analysts to explain their differing views and the process works well now. i cannot emphasize the importance of enough if you are in national security of consuming intelligence on a daily basis. it really is your eyes and ears for doing your job. and people that worked with me when i was at homeland security will tell you that it was a first thing i did when i got to work. i would spend an hour or a half of an hour getting the verbal daily intel and that is if i had time left over. then i would

i think jim clapper really did bringy it along way in coordinating all the different intelligence agencies in thef alphabet soup. and as the consumer of intelligence for a number of years in national security, i see now the virtue of doing it the way we do it. it got to the point where i too am a big fan of briefings. it was a most important part of my day w to read the daily intel and then give a verbal briefing later on, and would all be corrugated through dni and every once in a while you would get a dissenting opinion out of the alphabet soup. it would say dissenting opinion here and so i had the analyst come up to headquarters both majority and dissenting opinions to explain the different views, and the process works pretty well now. i cannot emphasize the importance enough if you're a national security of consuming intelligence on a daily basis. it really is your eyes and ears for doing your job, and the people who worked with me when i set homeland security would tell me that it was a firstnet did when i got to work, then i would spend an hour, half hour verbally getting the daily i
