cnn's john brennan said north korea is the biggest risk for the u.s. >> kim has invested so much into building a military and nuclear capability, and the thinks this is his ticket to greatness. i think it's his ticket to oblivion. >> reporter: analysts say he's trying to cover his flank inside north korea and there could be good reason. tonight, cnn learned that some north koreans have spoken out against their regime. they showed us the hand written results of their survey of 36 people in nine provinces. asked what makes them most angry about their government, most said it's when the regime takes away things they earned. >> if you are a farmer and you make a little bit more besides what the government asks you to make and the government takes that away, that makes you upset. or when you collected some

the united states is also thinking about going ahead by themselves but let me quote john brennan, the director of the cia. a bully you need to fight back, that is appropriate but that does not mean you need to strike back and bomb a country. christopher: the russians have now announced they are deploying more air defense systems. how is washington reacting to that? >> they are closely monitoring that as well. as we all know, president obama is very reluctant to use any kind of force in syria. he is basically only interested in fighting isis and not getting involved in the conflict. they have learned out of iraq and his position is not to send u.s. troops at this point. christopher: reporting from washington. we're going to switch to the business news now. deutsche bank is dominating that world. >> shares of deutsche bank managed to rise in frankfurt on tuesday after several major clients voiced support. the bank is trying to reduce $14 billion in fines to mandate from the department of justice selling toxic mortgage backed securities. the ceo jean-claude juncker will be there and hope

. >>> now the cia director john brennan is warning america's enemies are plotting to take advantage oflection. here is cnn's barbara starr. >> reporter: north korea's march towards a nuclear weapon that could attack the u.s. is now one of the cia's top intelligence concerns for the next president of the united states. >> these are things that the new national security team, the new president and his or her advisers are going to have to deal with from day one. >> in his extraordinarily condition dad interview with john brennan revealed the spy agency already is identifying a number of immediate threats the next president is likely to confront. >> from the very beginning the north korean young leader is going to try and do things that will cause turmoil in a new administration. >> reporter: north korea tops the list. the u.s. doesn't know what kim jong-un will do. a new president must be prepared for sudden move from kim even within hours of taking office. >> that's something that the new team and the current team is looking at very, very closely and will need to be able to address. >> h

asked about ties between wikileaks and russia the director of the cia john brennan told cnn. >> i thinkent has announced there are concerns that there are some efforts to try to interfere in the electoral process. >> cnn attempted to we've wikileaks for comment blue received no response. they have previously denied any connection or cooperation with russia. today reports that russian-backed state --.com reported a story on john podesta before wikileaks posted them. wikileaks responded on twitter saying no they didn't. russia is dismissing accusations outright that they are behind the hacks on democratic party officials or u.s. state voting systems. the white house says it is now planning a proportional response, a response that russia is seemingly dismissing. >> if they decided to do something, let them do it. but to say that russia is interfering in the united states domestic matters is ridiculous. >> so far more than 20 states have experienced attempted hacks on their voter databases. but u.s. officials are emphasizing that the u.s. voting system is strong enough and decentralized eno

canlie: people say, if they get john podesta and john brennan and the u.s.nment and the pentagon, they can get me. mr. carlin: that is true. .ffense outstrips defense a criminal group can get into an internet connected system if they want to. it may take persistence, but they can get in. your information is fundamentally not going to be safe on an internet-connected system it you are relying on buy tool that you can keep someone from getting inside. that doesn't mean we don't want theaise the cost so only most sophisticated actors can do it. you want to keep the low-level guys out. 80% of the breaches we are use known people patches, they could've prevented. we are trying to increase customer safety that way, but at the same time, you have to make some fundamental decisions right now, which is, should it be on a internet connected system at all ? if it is, assuming someone can get in, let's say you are a company and your intellectual property, if you know that a dedicated bad guy can get in, maybe i don't put it in my system in a folder called "crown jewels.

. >> a guy named john brennan was running it. >> whatever happened to him. >> so long ago, you were a democratic back then. >> yeah. >> wow. >> you told me on that pretty april day that you feared ticti and a lot of these other reforms were potentially calamity. you feared we were creating these bureaucracies and still not talk to each other. have we created these huge bureaucracies and not talk to each other? >> i actually remember that conversation, and i believe that those, to continue a scene that will probably be reflected on all panels, nothing is perfect. but we actually have made great progress in that great regard. i think the less panel used the word disaster. we experienced a national disaster on 9/11, 15 years ago. one thing it did is to wake us up, notwithstanding the truck bombing at the world trade center in '93, the bombings at the embassies, the uss cole. we did act and we acted on a very bipartisan, nonpartisan basis. the whole purpose was to bring people together. the big battles in that legislative experience were not between republicans and democrats. they were be

about this in terms of transition and what may come next, a couple weeks ago the cia director, john brennan, publicly was talking about north korea and said that he thought it was kind in not only the current administration obviously has to prepared to deal with at any time, but that he thought a new administration needs to get ready now, that both candidates irrespective of who wins need to be briefed up and ready, that you could literally have a new president having to deal with north korea from minute one, that they could take advantage. so talk to me as you look ahead on what you want to prioritize for yourself as you form the next budget. how much does north korea play into your thinking? you've got people rate air. >> first i just want to speak to your last question and say we have not given up on the atf has been able to do more than one thing in the world simultaneously. i don't want anyone to think. you certify that on the head when you said it's about balance that risk. that is essentially what the jobs are about. we have the incredibly potent michael force and it's a matter of de

[applause] john brennan: this event -- david: this event mirroring the us's of nixon and ford gives a way to look at the white house , which is that it is entirely up to the president how it is going to be run. there is nothing in the national security acts of 1947 setting up cia and the national security council that says the intelligence process will be a certain type. it is up to the president, whether he is interested in intelligence, thinks it is important, wants to use it, advising against us, considers it irrelevant, as other sources, that is up to him. and the agency over the years and now the dni and other elements have try to tailor the daily product to meet the president needs is a fascinating story. you can see by scanning through the documents in today's release how the pdb itself as a product has changed. but behind that is an important , ary as dr. turgeon says process. how they integrated the pdb into their intelligence below, who managed the intelligence below. more importantly, i think is what the art -- agency try to do to strike the balance between what the agency

knifing in minnesota and two explosions in new york and new jersey even obama's head of the cia, john brennan, has said radical islamic terrorists are using refugee programs to infiltrate our country. 31 states have taken steps to not settle refugees in their communities. again i think we have an obligation to help but it doesn't include settling them here in our communities and i would defend the safety of montana citizens from unvetted refugees [ applause ] >> governor bullock? >> as a governor and father, the safety and security of our communities and our state is paramount. and i don't just they in the abstract, the attorney general, the state's chief law enforcement officer, not only did i'll do with some of the most heinous crimes but i had to sit down with families whose children were murdered. i understand people's concerns. and let me be clear there will be no unvetted refugees coming to montana, period. [ applause ] but i think we also need to understand -- and i'm not sure my opponent fully understands -- the role of governor. you also have to take a responsible tact, look at what'

says he the problem is it's president obama's plan, and after more than two years, cia director john brennan said despite our efforts, isis remains a formidable, resilient, and largely cohesive enemy and we have not reduced their terrorist capabilities and the global reach. that's pretty sad after two years. that's senator feingold's plan. even worse, he voted against the very elements in the plan. eleven times as u.s. senator. he voted against authorizing the finest along us, he voted gathering tools that now he says it's part of his plan when he's the only senator doing so. he also wanted to goes down guantanamo bay. he was the first senator johnson an tore call for troop withdrawal from iraq, which was a strategic blunder. isis derives from the actions of what was a thoroughly defeated al-qaida in iraq. >> mr. feingold? >> well, i think the first thing to say is to recognize that a group like isis did cannot be allowed to continue to exist. this isn't a accusations and listing things that people have done wrong over time that have nothing to do with it. this is beyond politics. this shoul

listen to cia director john brennan who testified, i think, in july, all our efforts have not reduced the effort. the fact of the matter is right here in milwaukee, there was a murder plotted. isis is a growing, evolving and, from my standpoint, a more dangerous threat than it ever has been, and we have not been addressing it adequately. now, senator feingold, in his plan, in his plan -- this is important to understand -- in his plan are elements of things he voted existence during his 18-year career in the senate. 11 out of 18 years he voted against authorizing the military, five of those it was passed by unanimous consent or by voice vote. he only twice voted affirmatively to authorize or the defense department. that's where special ops are authorize. he's the only senator to vote against giving law enforcement the tools they need to combat against international terrorists. so he's got a very phony record when it comes to these plans and his support for their elements of his plan. what we need to do is we have to lead. we are hollowing out our military. we've got to strengthen our e

and my second question to both of you is cia director john brennan has now openly, publicly talked onabout his concerns that north korea could try some destabilizing move during the transition in power in the united states irrespective of who wins. secretary brennan says it's something that the new team and the current team is looking at very closely and will need to be able to address. for both of you, what are your concerns that north korea may attempt a destabilizing action during the u.s. transfer of power? sec. carter: well, if i can take that second part first and i'm sorry but i'm not going to answer your first part because it is cast in terms of the ongoing presidential campaign and i said repeatedly i'm not going to answer questions in that context. so, not going to answer on that one. with respect to provocations from north korea, i'll say it and then let minister han say we remain concerned about that as an alliance, irrespective of where the united states is in its election cycle. kim jong un is unpredictable. he is prone to provocations. and one of the things we talked ab

the problem is it's preside than two years, cia director john brennan said despite our efforts, isis remains a formidable, resilient, and largely cohesive enemy and we have not reduced their terrorist capabilities and the global reach. that's pretty sad after two years. that's senator feingold's plan. even worse, he voted against the very elements in the plan. eleven times as u.s. senator. he voted against authorizing the finest along us, he voted gathering tools that now he says it's part of his plan when he's the only senator doing so. he also wanted to goes down guantanamo bay. he was the first senator johnson an tore call for troop withdrawal from iraq, which was a strategic blunder. isis derives from the actions of what was a thoroughly defeated al-qaida in iraq. >> mr. feingold? >> well, i think the first thing to say is to recognize that a group like isis did cannot be allowed to continue to exist. this isn't a time for that people have done wrong over time that have nothing to do with it. this is beyond politics. this should be when we talk to each other as friends and try to

don't just take my word on it, listen to the cia director john brennan in july and he said all of our efforts have not reduced isis's global reach. they remain an intact entity. the fact of the matter is sending mohammed otto planned to murder, he said he would be happy if 30 wisconsinites, he was able to murder them. isis is an evolving and from my standpoint, a more dangerous threat than it ever has been and we've not been addressing that. senator feingold in his plan, in his plan are elements of things he voted against during his 18 year career in the senate. 11 out of 18 years in the senate he voted against authorizing our military, five of those years the authorizations passed by unanimous consent or by voice vote. the only twice voted affirmatively to authorize defense for special ops . he is the only senator to vote against giving law enforcement the tools they need to combat against international terrorists. so he's got a very phony record when it comes to these plans and his support for elements of this plan. we need to do is we have to lead. following our military, we got to

bloombergs erik schatzker is --h younger than larson, john brennan lawson.ctly what he would ask. what are you doing about hedge funds? bjarne: we are doing a lot about hedge funds. i guess one of our panelists here today at the conference is running all of our hedge funds and we have a strong relationship with hedge funds. some years ago, we used to think of them as someone that could invest our money for us, but it has actually changed a lot and we have fewer relationships today i'm a but they are much more strategic in nature and we are really trying to use hedge funds as a source of sharing information on a much more integrated part. erik: there is a prevailing narrative that pension plans have had it with hedge funds. calpers has exited or is exiting the hedge fund portfolio and rhode island is dramatically reducing its hedge fund portfolio. what are you doing about your hedge fund allocation? bjarne: it is more or less unchanged. we have shrunk the number of relationship and fewer, but larger, and more significant relationships, and really, focusing in

to the sheer cia director john brennan testified before the senate intelligence committee that unfortunatelyspite our progress and we have made progress, our efforts have not reduced the terrorist capability and global reach. before resilient it is a at me but director rasmussen not to still your thunder but i have 2.0 with your testimony would director brennan stated that it is fair to say we have more threats originating in more places with more individuals than any time in the past 15 years. despite this progress on the battlefield is our judgment that isis will have terrorist attacks abroad is not been diminished and the isil activity is a reminder of their reach. you have a very difficult task to defend our homeland to keep america safe. but i want to make the play did has been two years since the president laid out the goal and it took us four years to defeat nazi germany and imperial japan. defeating prices on the battlefield to destroy caliphate is essential for step to reduce those threats that largely have not been diminished. thanks for coming i am looking forward to answering que

listen to the cia director john brennan who testified i think until i said all of our efforts on not reduce isis global capability of global reach. factor than it is in milwaukee, plotted to murder, whenever synaptic of 30 wisconsinites it's able to murder them. isis is a growing, evolving and from my standpoint, an a more dangerous threat than it ever has been. we have not been addressing that. senator feingold in this plan, this is important to understand, allen was offensive against during his 18 year career in the center 11 out of 18 is devoted against authorizing the top government for military. five of those years the authorization was passed by unanimous consent or by those boy. he voted twice a family to authorize defense department. that's with special ops your he's the only senator to vote against giving law enforcement the tools they need to combat against international terrorists. he's got a very phony record when it comes to these plans and his support for the elements of his plan to what we need is we have to lead. we are hollowing our military. we've got to strengthen

. >> everybody hears about john poddesta or swron brennan and say if they can get poddesta and brennan and the u.s. government and the pentagon, they can get me. >> well, that's true, charlie. it's just true. right now offense jowt strips defense in a sophisticated nation state where criminal groups can get into an internet connected system if they want to. it may take persistence but they can get in. your information is numently not going to be safe on an internet connected system if you are relying on some tool or something you can buy to keep someone from getk inside. that doesn't mean that we don't want to raise the costs so that only the most sophisticated actors can do it you want to keep the low level guys out, according to one study, about 08% of the breaches we're seeing, if people used known patches they could have prevented. so we're trying to increase customer safety that way. but at the same time, you got to make some fundamental decisions right now. which is should it be on an internet connected system at all. and if it is, assuming someone can get in, let's say you're a

john felix is expected to be charged with the murder of jose gilbert vega and leslie brennan. felix opened fire on the officers as they responded to a domestic disturbance. the suspect will make his first court appearance tomorrow. >>> decision 2016 and just in overnight, the u.n. human rights chief says, if elected, donald trump would be, quote, dangerous from an international point of view. meanwhile trump says the shackles are off. trump tweeted insults at house speaker paul ryan who is refusing to campaign for the candidate. he pushed new claims from wikileaks that hillary clinton secretly worked with the justice department while her e-mails were being investigated. meanwhile clinton is trying to shift the focus back on to trump. >> let's focus on what's really important in this election and our future and the future ouf our country. >> we have to investigate hillary clinton and we have to investigate the investigation. >> trump there calling for the investigation of the fbi itself. trump is visiting two stops in florida today. he needs to win that state. clinton leads flo

too easy but i -- >> just think of john paul stevens appointed by president ford, save david souter appoint. the great chief justice earl warren appointed by brennan, a republican. bill brennan was a registered republican when he was on the new jersey supreme court, he was also appointed by eisenhower. >> rose: yeah. you've had successful battles with cancer, heart stent. you look and seem to me to be in good health. >> yes, i -- >> rose: good energy? yes. >> rose: i've spent the last two hours with you. no thought of retiring? >> i've said that i will hold this office as long as i can do the job full steam. so i know this year, i'm okay. at my age, i'm 83, you have to take it year by year. i'm hopeful that i have many years -- i will have many years of good health and good thinking ahead. >> rose: and you point to the fact that lewis bran dice was appointed at 60 and you were appointed at 60 and he served till his early '80s. >> i can't use him anymore because i've served longer. >> rose: do you have another model? >> of course, i can say my dear colleague justice john paul stevens who stepped down when he was 90. >> rose: when you look at the co

brennan center for justice says no systemic voter fraud. secretary of state of ohio, he is voting for trump, he says there is no voter fraud. john kasich says no voter fraud, marco rubio. so the issue is there, you know, people who shouldn't be voting, we don't know how many there are, versus whether or not the whole system is rigged? i think many people would say the whole system is not rigged. what do you think? >> well, first of all, as you know, these elections are state by state. i don't know what they mean by no systemic. if it is happening in swing states of virginia, ohio, florida, north carolina, wisconsin, colorado, nevada, if it is happening in any one of those states, doesn't have to be systemic. it could be enough to swing the election. look, in situations like this i would usually call on the united states department of justice to step in and conduct an investigation. it is not enough to just fire some people. this is corrupt. this is criminal. so what i would demand, i can't call on the department of justice because they're corrupt as well. liz: i hear what you're saying. speculation doesn't make it so. we need to

brennan center, loyola, which essentially found that voter fraud is very rare. are we right? is there proof of widespread voter fraud? >> not in person, voter fraud, no, and what johnaid is absolutely right. look, republican election officials control 30 different states in the election mechanisms within that, in the voting. and so it's -- republicans want this to be a fair election, where every eligible voter gets to have his or her vote counted. >> and michael, there is a concern that this type of rhetoric is essentially playing with fire. voters on both sides are at a boiling point because there is so many emotions and passions to go along with this election. are you concerned when you hear trump talk about a rigged election it could force this boiling point to really take a negative turn? >> well, i think we should all be concerned when the integrity of the elections and the strength of our democracy are called into question, especially without a scintilla of evidence. i think what ben ginsberg said was absolutely right, there is every reason to have confidence that everybody's vote will be counted. i think this will be a bit of an inflexion point. because one
