they'll be listening to mike pompeo, the cia director and find out what was going on.out what the cia director knew and more to the important, what could be gleaned about who is leaking what. the degree to which the president might have shared what was deemed to be classified information here. all of a sudden, this has made the whole issue of the new fbi director, the russian ties -- i'm not saying a moot point but it's been upstaged by the developments. they're a long way from finding that out and point out who was responsible for sharing that information and whether the information compromised our security. more after this. the peace of mind gives me and the security just like the marines did. at one point, i did change to a different company with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service. we have switched back over and we feel like we're back home now. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children, and that they can be protected. we're the williams fa

both sides of the aisle, we've got a lot of respect for mike pompeo.ormously difficult job. just stepping in to run an organization as large and as complicated as the cia is very tough, much less under a president who has shown much disdain for that agency. so, you know, i think the big question that mike pompeo was not in a position to answer, and over time, we will get the details, certainly deheiind clod doors of what was disclosed to the russian foreign minister. but the damage that mike was not in a position to reflect on much was the damage that is done all over the world to people who might want to come forward to help the united states at great risk to themselves. and by the way, that person could be somebody who wanted to become a source for the cia who now is scratching their chin and saying, gosh, would i be safe if i did that? to, you know, services in places like morocco or jordan or thailand who are, you know, ordinarily quite willing to work with the united states on all the things we do abroad against terrorism who may tonight be thinki

. >>> overnight, em and confirms cia director mike pompeo is in seoul amid rising tensions with north korea. >>> good morning. everyone. it is monday, may 1. good to have yo with us. at least 13 people dead following a severe series of storms that ripped across the southern part of the country over the weekend. texas, crews are searching for survivors after tornados tore through the state of friday. at least four people killed, dozens hurt by four twisters. one canton man caught inside his motor home after a tornado hit and was knocked autoafter being tossed around. >> after the devastation hit, just brought me up. my head hit the top of the roof. slammed me down against the -- slam dunked med down against the roof of the motor home, that's where i was laying when i -- i was only unconscious for probably a for seconds because all this happened. i guarantee all this happened within five to ten seconds. that quick. >> parts of arkansas, missouri were hammered by heavy rains as winds. arkansas governor declared a state of emergency in the wake of flooding in his state. missouri's governo

mike, is pompeo on the hill as part of the white house cleanup effort? well, mike pompeo is supposed to be here at a previously scheduled briefing of the house intelligence committee. the senate intelligence committee just broke up, as well. but you can bet that these members, members of the house of representatives, just back now from a ten-day break are going to be peppering pompeo with questions about just what happened, what he knows, and how badly this breach of classified information actually is. you know, nicole, it's not as if republicans on the hill are turning their back on president obama at this point. but i have to say, this is a little bit different from even as recently as last week, in the jim comey affair. they're not rushing to defend him, either. there's always this balancing act, they're trying to find the right formulation to express just the right amount of concern, probably the word that we've heard most from republicans now is they're troubled or concerned about these reports. they want to hear more. we haven't -- we've been check

john brennan said diversifying -- werkforce at the cia will see if mike pompeo continues with that or not. i absolutely agree with you that we have so many resources at home that we can pull from of people who speak these languages , like you said, a native language, which is incredibly important. and aility to blend in, culture, to understand cultures, and be able to hit the streets and blendon, and know what you are doing, and be able to get around. the more people we have that knowledge and background, we should be using their skills. as are the second point, i write about it in the "politico" p's. i think the challenge of recruiting -- "politico" piece. i think that challenge of recruiting is always a difficult anyway, but sure, when you have thatmander-in-chief says he is not interested in the information, but when you have a manner and chief that says we have reason to question his ties with russia and would have every -- to ask them questions, that makes it harder to recruit people. you can add on top of that the number of leaks we have had recently from chelsea manning to seve

mike pompeo answering them.you know, he's been on the job for a short period of time, so, many of the questions i was not in a position to answer them completely and would get back to us. but if was much broader than just a discussion of what's happening in the white house today. and it was during that briefing that we started to get word of the newest bomb shell that hit about the comey memo. >> that's what i'm going to ask you about next, a quote you can react to. and that's john mccain tonight saying that it's approaching watergate -- has reached, quote, watergate size and scale. your reaction? >> well, coming from senator mccain, those are very strong words. i think that we have a very serious dire situation. not just in terms of the status of the president and this country. it's also about what's going on around the world and how we're being perceived. the vulnerability that our enemies see right now is profound, and i fear that unless the president gets his house in order, we're going to see some dire cons

but mike pompeo isn't there and the first time we know that mike pompeo, there was a time where this white house -- maybe the white house has backed off on trying to get the cia to do this. maybe he wasn't asked -- >> don't forget, one of his first challenges as president was with the cia coming into office and, you know, perhaps they -- >> maybe they're taking a hands-off approach with the cia, more than they are the other folks. >> you know, i think you do see the cost for president trump, having been so critical of intelligence, because the intelligence agencies are now standing up for themselves, ensuring the sanctity of their own reputations. >> they're lockstep center and i think that's the challenge that trump has. he basically blew a lot of political cover early on and i think that they would have been less united under -- in this situation, had they been -- had president trump been much more thoughtful -- >> more respectful. >> so if we look at the two major developments of the day and put it this way, first, you're starting to see the defend trump the individual defense, an

director mike pompeo said during his confirmation. again and again during those confirmation hearings, when asked what boundaries director pompeo would draw around the government's surveillance authorities, the director responded he was bound by the law. in effect, the director said to the senate and this body, he would defer to the lawyers. so if congress and the american people were to have any clue as to what the central agency might do under director pompeo, we were going to have to ask the nominee to be general counsel. that was why it was critical that she answer questions about her views of the law and that she answer them now before a confirmation vote. so, madam president, i asked those questions. and what i heard in return was either a troubling response or some combination of "i don't know, and i'll figure out after i'm confirmed." now, without answers, we're left largely to judge ms. elwood by her record. so i'm going to start by looking back at her previous service and what she says about it now. with respect to the natio

i am sure i speak for mike pompeo that the two of us have in here did -- in and intelligence community with andership professionals expertise that is exceptional, and it is a great privilege to hold these positions and know we have the support from across 17 agencies relative to gathering intelligence and synthesizing that intelligence. we are most appreciative of the leaders tons of your the country into these issues. given the tests we face around the world, the intelligence community continues its work to collect, analyze, and integrate. we appreciate very much the support from your committee to address these threats in a way that will give the president, congress, and other policy makers the best and most integrated intelligence we can assemble. in the interest of time and on behalf of my colleagues, i will discuss just some of the many challenging threats we currently face. the intelligence community's written statement, for the record, that was submitted earlier, discusses these and many other threats in greater detail. let me start with north korea. north korea is an increasingl

there are a lot of unanswered questions here, and you don't feel in the public session mike pompeo wasth respect to what interactions he may have had with mike flynn who sally yates was concerned represented a blackmail threat. >> in terms of your own investigation and anything you may know about the other investigations is there any indication that the cia is not handing over documents making materials available in a way that is forthcoming? >> we have had some challenges. i think it would be fair to say that the committee has had real challenges to getting access to documents. look, the reality is until very recently most of the information we were getting came from leaks, from tweets from the president of the united states. it's gotten a little bit better, but we still have to pick up the pace. >> senator ron wyden. i know being on tv is not your favorite thing in the world. i appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >> i told you to buckle up. lots more ahead, stay with us. brian, i just need to know if the customer app will be live monday. can we at least analyze customer traffic?

. >> cia director mike pompeo will be questioned about presidents sharing another country's intelligence with the russians when he briefs the house intelligence committee later this evening. national security advisor mcmaster says more needs to be done to find out who is leaking all of this information from the white house to the washington post. >>> we are following breaking news. there are injuries and arrests right outside of that embassy on massachusetts avenue. d.c. police tell us the demonstration got out of to the hospital. all of this comes with a backdrop as the president of turkey visited the white house for trump for talks with president trump. our john henry is live on the scene to tell us more about why they are there. are they upset about this meeting, john? >> reporter: right now we are surrounded by supporter of the president of turkey. he's expected to come out of here the embassy and not too long. this group according to people here got into a scuffle earlier in the day with opponents right here. as we were saying nine people were injured. that is roughly an hour and a

director of the central intelligence agency, mike pompeo. director of defense intelligence, vince stewart. director of the national security agency, mike rogers. director of geospatial intelligence agency, robert cardella. and andrew mccabe, acting director of the at ei. .- fbi thank you for coming in on such short notice. since 1995, this committee has met with an open forum to hear about and discuss the security threats facing the united states of america. i understand that many people tuned in today and were hopeful that we would focus solely on the russian investigation and their involvement in our elections. let me disappoint everybody up front. while the committee certainly views russian intervention in our elections as a significant threat, the purpose of today's hearing is to view and highlight , to the extent possible, the ranges of threats that we face as a nation. security threat picture has evolved significantly since 1995. what used to be a collection of mostly physical and state taste national security concerns has been replaced

and aside from acting fbi director andrew mccabe, national intelligence director nathan coats and mike pompeo are both expected to testify today. comey has been invited the testify next week. >> thank you, hena. ahead on "cbs this morning" we'll talk with sarah huckabee sanders about the comey dismissal. >>> russian president vladimir putin spoke regarding the firing of fbi director james comey. >> president trump is acting in accordance with his competence, in accordance with his law. >> putin said comey's dismissal will have no effect on russian relations. >>> betsy devos receive ed boos. they tried to shut down devos and at one point tried to turn their backs on her. at one point the president stepped in and issued a warning. >> if this behavior continues, your degrees will be mailed to you. >> devos alienated many in february when she described historically black colleges as, quote, real pioneers when it comes to school choice. she later colleges were born out of necessity in the face of racism. >>> secretary rick perry announced there's a problem. the tunnel was sealed shut with eight ra

the cia director mike pompeo's briefing the house intelligence committee right now. and let's go to our senior congressional reporter manu raju. the senate intelligence committee leaders, they are also, i understand, demanding answers. >> yeah, that's right. moments ago both mark warner and richard burr, the top democrat and republican respectively on the senate intelligence committee emerged from a classified meeting saying they want answers, specifically meetings with white house officials who were in that private meeting with donald trump and top russian officials and that discussion of classified information apparently took place. i asked the two senators at this press conference whether or not the white house got permission from israel, who is apparently the source of this information that went to the russians, whether they got permission from israel. they would not say, saying they want more answers. wolf this, comes as the cia director mike pompeo at this hour is sitting down behind closed doors with the house intelligence committee trying to get more answers

meanwhile, dan coats, and mike pompeo, are going to be sitting alongside we can expect republicans tothe question of leaks and unmasking. this is a topic they've hit time and time again, chris. >> mike, thanks so much. i want to bring back in mike lupica. this is going to be fascinating to watch. now we hear that trump was not happy with the testimony by james comey, right, and he ends up without a job, maybe no cause and effect. you make your own conclusion about that. but now this guy is the brand new acting director. he has to come in, democrats frankly are loaded on this. what do you expect to happen here? >> obviously being the head of the fbi and now could make you as vulnerable as it used to be being a baseball manager when george steinbrenner owned the yankees. the life expectancy was extremely short. again, the message that was sent, the message that was sent, by firing comey this way, is that everybody there is vulnerable. there's no question that he was trying to, if not hamper the investigation, to at least put a slowdown on it. >> i have to ask our republican, is that dem

democrats grilling cia director mike pompeo on fbi director james comey's firing.a senate hearing on global threats to the u.s. ended upturning very political. >> president trump's actions this week cost us an opportunity to get at the truth, at least for today. think your large cap equity fund has exposure to energy infrastructure mlps? think again. it's time to shake up your lineup. the alerian mlp etf can diversify your equity portfolio and add potential income. bring amlp into the game. before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. read the prospectus carefully at alpsfunds.com/amlp thithis is the new new york.e? think again. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight d

probably the most contentious time in the hearing was a colloquy between you and mike pompeo. were asking him about whether he had advance notice of sally yates' warning to the white house about mike flynn, if he had any advanced knowledge of the concerns that prompted that warning. i want to ask you what you were driving at there, knowing you won't tell me anything more than what you said in the hearing. i also want to ask you if you have worries about the cia and whether they are being forth coming in terms of their part of this investigation. >> yeah, i have real questions about whether the cia director was straight with us with respect to mike flynn today. i mean, the reality is that that sally yates gave a very clear warning. and we're talking about something -- this is the global threat hearing. we're talking about something where the national security adviser could be blackmailed. and in effect, the cia director played down any conversations he might have had say in a daily brief with somebody he was sharing secrets with. 10 there are a lot of unanswered questions here,

. >>> cia director mike pompeo is in south korea amid heightened tensions on the korean peninsula. the visit comes after north korea conducted another missile test over the weekend. a japanese destroyer left port this morning to escort u.s. naval ships in the reaming. overnight north korea warned it will carry out a nuclear test at any time and at any location. president trump tells cbs's john dickerson he will not be happy if the communist country conducts another nuclear test and says he may be willing to put aside trade disputes with china in order to get china to use its influence on north korea. >> trade is very important, but massive warfare with millions potentially millions of people being killed, that as we would say trumps trade. >> the u.s. navy has positioned the carrier u.s. carl vincent in the area just in case. >>> let's talk d. c. sports. the washington capitals are set to take on the penguins at 7:30 tonight in pittsburgh. it's a must win. the caps are hoping to climb out of a 2-0 hole in their second round series. >>> and the wizards got off to a great start last
