john brennan i have known for a long time. he is a great -- was a great public servant, worked for six different presidents. and so i felt it was important to, you know, to make sure that both john brennan and the public understood that i didn't feel it was right for the president to come after john brennan as a private citizen and trto revoke his security clearance. >> you know, you wrote in the washington post about president trump... two weeks before the election, you endorsed joe biden in an opinion editorial in the wall street journal, and you called yourself a... why was your endorsement such a clear decision for you, admiral? >> well, because it is about leership. and my concern was that the president was not showing, not demonstrating the kind of leadership that i have seen throughout my 40 years of being in leadership positions. and i didn't disagree with all of the president's policies. as i said there, you know, i am a pro-life conservative. of course, i also said -- and people tend not to quote the second part of t

john brennan, i knew for a long time. he was a great public servant and worked for six different presidents. and so, i felt it was important to make sure that they understood i did not feel it was right for the president to come after john brennan as a private citizen and try to revoke his security clearance. >> you wrote about trump, "you embarrassed us in the eyes of our children. humiliated us on the world stage and divided us as a nation." and two weeks before the election you endorsed joe biden. you called yourself a pro-life, conservative. why was your endorsement such a clear decision for you? >> because it is about leadership. my concern was that the president was not showing -- not demonstrating the kind of leadership that i have seen throughout my 40 years in leadership positions. i am a pro-life conservative. i also said, but i actually believe that black lives matter. i believe in the first amendment. i believe in other rights. so i wanted to balance it so that the readers understood that i am a conservative.

and john brennan and michael hayden say direct on the obama here. i would say the same and you add, he heavily criticized u. s. foreign policy. we ran into the terrorism problem because americans middleton to other countries suffice and acted like the world's policeman for too long. if you lived in syria and you were bombed on a daily basis and your loved ones, friends, relatives, colleagues, wives, and children were killed and those as strikes, you would get angry too. who started all? that's the question. it's also started at all and we must by responsibility. the u . s. can no longer be the world's policeman. that is just not cannibal. while he was a hero to thumb, others saw him as a man with a wild imagination. and yeah, not everything he said and did was exactly true or generally considered decent. he did make up a story about being arrested for wearing a thong instead of a face mask faked several heart attacks, while in a guatemalan jail, had his own private comp out in harem. while living in the caribbean, where he was involved in the produc

they don't need operation mockingbird come but they put john brennan who works for nbc and james clapperht on the payroll of these organizations and shamed the news openly to manipulate and to see the american population and so americans are wondering what foreknowledge and involvement did the fbi have january 6th. if you go and listen to the networks, you will get lies because the only people they are asking serving those agencies and acting to disseminate the information and that's what the outlets are. >> tucker: man, that is shocking, shocking to me. glenn, i appreciate you coming on tonight. think it's much. >> good to be her, tucker. >> tucker: it does make you wonder about matt gaetz actually. do you remember matt gaetz? he was engaged in child sex trafficking. we know matt gaetz went after the national security repeatedly and they told us he was a sex trafficker, we don't know but if he is, why isn't he charged at? do you ever wonder that? are you allowed to leak derogatory information against a sitting member of congress because you don't like his criticism of view and then not

neil degrasse tyson and the former director under president obama, john brennan and happy asteroid day. >> thank you. mr. brennan, as someone who used to be responsible for the nation's highest secrets as well as national security planning, why do you say that the evidence supports at least keeping open the prospect of intelligent life out there? >> well, i don't think i said there is any evidence at all of alien life. what i said is a lot of these phenomenon have been observed including by navy pilots are unexplained. i don't think there is any way we can exclude the possibility of certain types of explanations. in any career when i looked at those videos and saw documents and red witness reports, i never saw evidence of that alien life. as donald rumsfeld said many times, sadly he passed away today, the absence of evidence, in this large expansive of universe that we can't exclude the possibility that there is some form of life some where else that we can't understand and cannot detect yet. i have no earthly idea whether or not such life exists. >> earthly being such a key modifier.

. >> john brennan and pete williams, my thanks to the both of you. >>> meantime the head of the localthe department's chief to step aside. they said the senate's report on the capitol chief said chief yoganda pitman failed to provide officers with the necessary equipment and failed to communicate with officers while the attack was happening. capitol police denied to comment. >>> coming up next, don mcgahn said he feared the issue with donald trump could spiral. >>> why we're seeing a sharp rise in gas prices in over a decade. s prices in over a decade ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ you don't always set out to be a rock star. but when the spotlight finds you. you become one anyway. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ you become one anyway. i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn's disease. the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. and many achieved remission that can last

i want to bring in now john brennan and senior national security intelligence analyst. it is great to see you onset. >> good morning. >> this is the first we have heard from you since the developments started coming in. we're now in about two minutes entering what we think is hour two of the larger group meeting. we talked about who is in the room. what is your assessment of what we have seen so far? >> i think it is going according to schedule. >> that's all we really know, right? >> yes, and i think it is important that president biden have the opportunity to sit down with him, look him in the eye, and talk about what his expectations are and what red lines are. i think the first 90 minutes he wanted it to be a small group so he could lay down clear signals. now it is being expanded to other experts in the room. i think it is important for president bide ton let vladimir putin know that in response to some of the very provocative actions, president biden is willing to risk escalation. i think that is one of the things that has been absent to date. you look at ukraine,

because it's -- especially a president on twitter when you have john brennan and maxine waters spewing the vitriol that other fellow -- i don't know what vitriol he's talking about. but people with common sense know the difference. host: so let's listen to president biden talk about china. he was asked about it at the news conference yesterday. talked about the need for transparency. president biden: i think china has to start to act more responsibly in terms of international norms on human rights and transparency. transparency matters. across the board. and i think the idea that -- for example, one of the things i raised and others raced, i wasn't the only one who raised this at the g-7 is that we don't know we haven't had access to the laboratories to determine whether or not -- i have not reached a conclusion because our intelligence community has not been certain. whether or not this was a consequence of from the marketplace, interfacing with animals and the environment that caused this covid-19, or whether it was an experiment gone awry in a laboratory. it's important to know the

also joining us is john brennan. and donna edwards joins us. looking for us all three msnbc contributor. carol linnik. you've been covering this. it feels like there's still some revelations here. what stands out to you? >> i absolutely agree there are some chilling revelations here. you know, i was lucky enough to get the first account of the police chief, and even some of this would be news to him. first of all, the intelligence collected by the capitol police and also by the fbi, but by the capitol police two weeks ahead of time at the time, maybe a couple days after the attack, we reported there was a small intelligence paragraph in a long report that warned that the capitol was the target itself. what is new here is the language, the visceral violence of the language. the fact that people were being told to bring guns they planning to draw weapons on officers if they are barred from entering the capitol. and marking tunnels and entrances and exits. third, there was an online discussion about how to bar the exits to track lawmakers. to know

when you have john brennan and maxine waters spewing the vitriol that other fellow, i do not know whatther vitriol he is talking about, but people with common sense know the difference. host: let's listen to president biden's talk about china. he was asked about it at a news conference yesterday. he talked about the need for transparency. host: i think china has to start to act more responsibly in terms of international norms on human race and transparency. -- human rights and transparency. transparency matters across the board. for example, one of the things others raise and i raise at the g7 is that we do not know -- we have not had access to laboratories to determine whether -- i have not reached a conclusion because our intelligence community has not, whether this was a consequence of a marketplace of a bat interfacing with animals and the environment that caused this covid-19 or whether it was an experiment gone awry in a laboratory. it is important to know the answer because we have to build a system whereby we can know when we see another lack of transparency that might produce

brennan. you've got blackman the author of roe versus wade. you have john paul stevens.david suitor. i can think of five republican-nominated justices that surprised us with their lack of conservative activism. i can't think of a single democrat-nominated justice that shocked us on the other side. am i missing one? >> you know, not as much. i mean, you will see instances where justice kagan will actually side with some of the more conservative justices, you know, on the court. i mean, you know, not nearly as much and on a repeated basis as we have seen from the justices who have been nominated by republican presidents, but i think, you know, there's one reason i think that could be the case, and you even look at the decision, this recent one upholding the affordable care act, in which barrett voted against striking it down as unconstitutional, and that decision was based not really on the constitutionality of the affordable care act. it's that the plaintiffs didn't have standing to bring that suit because they couldn't show injury. and so i think what we see when we nomi
