i believe the most critical thing we have to continue to do at the national security agency is ensure our people understand and are able to work this very important mission, defend the nation, secure the future. this is what i think is essential for us and is our advantage as we look to the future. mr. chairman, i would say, as we look to the future, we have to continue broad abilities to recruit from a very, very diverse population, academia, industry, with inside our government. it is critical to attract our best and brightest people. >> general, were you familiar with nsa 21? >> yes, mr. chairman, i am. >> would you comment on your views of that initiative, which is to prepare for the 21st century a more efficient, effective nsa. >> mr. chairman, nsa 21, as i understand it is the largest reorganization of the agency since 2000. that's significant if you consider the fact 70% of the agency has been hired since 9/11. it was designed to improve, obviously and focus on people, integration and innovation. it was designed to address a number of changes in our environment, changes to netw

the national security agency n.s.a. for short the largest foreign intelligence agency in the usa has been responsible for the worldwide monitoring of electronic communications since one thousand nine hundred fifty two. some of the thirty five thousand employees weren't comfortable with the massive expansion of surveillance in september eleventh. all of the colleagues that i knew which was just a handful bill binnie ed loomis kirk we chose to retire from the n.s.a. . in late october two thousand and one they realize what was happening they could not stand by and see the subversion of the constitution and all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance they left the agency i begged them to stay i chose to remain and fight from with it as long as i could i got mad at them you know so i my my objective was to counter attack i don't believe in defense you know just sitting back and being defensive i mean you have to get out there and attack so that's what i started doing that was my point it's time to attack

>> i read a declassified history written by a historian, the national security agencies are descendentsri of wartime code breaking and they knew the origin was largely female and there were internal histories about this. i read it and i talked to some agency historians who introduced me to the larger story and then it was a matter of tracking them down and getting the records declassified. >> hidden figures, rocket girls came out around the same time. how is it that they came out about the same time? >> i think of them i as the hidn figures of the greatest generation and it is a fascinating day has gone unknown until now. we are inav the era people are receptive to be leaving the stories. hidden figures did an enormous service to the rest of us in terms of preparing people to believe that this happened that these women have been laboring in the room rooms in history, bn dark switches are being slipped into the lights are going on and we realize they had been here doing important work all along. >> you have first-person accounts. >> in some cases they have to convince them they would not b

very very clear in confirming that these platforms have actually been penetrated by the national security agency and various other agencies in various ways some of them some of it's through backdoor some of it is through kind of direct kind of agreements with these companies and so on and so forth but what's very clear is that these companies like facebook and google and other big platforms have to have given this kind of open playing field for agencies to really be able to monitor in quite a fine grained way the behaviors of populations which increasingly taking place online but that has all sorts of ramifications and one of the ramifications of that and it's important to recognize that when we participate in these platforms i mean a lot of this sounds insidious but we're participating in it through the way in which we sign these terms and agreements which basically hand out data over to these companies you can't participate in facebook without doing that you can't participate in google without doing that we kind of giving them the key to access that sort of information and what's happening is

he had been the pentagon's liaison to the cia and the national security agency, and the reason he had been installed very quietly at darpa was because publicly darpa was the first space agency. it one talked about the cia's earth imaging satellites were being swept up. so goodell was to represent the interests of the intelligence community but ended up being this very seminal figure because when the first year things blew up. nasa was created and they lost their civilian satellite programmed. herb york worked to the pentagon and lobbied to take the space a programs so he could be the space czar. you have a space agency that now had no mission and the senior person wag william goodell and he says, this can by kind of good for me. good for him in terms of what he saw. he saw the conflicts in the world that, yes, nuclear apocalypse against the soviet union would be bad but the more likely way would would face off would be through proxy wars, ininsurgencies and he transform darpa into an agency that could fulfill missions he thought were important, which including jungle warfare in vietna

admiral rogers who serves as head of the national security agency and cyber command responded, i can't say that i've been explicitly directed to, quote, blunt or actively stop. the other witnesses could not point to any directives to blunt russian influence operations either. on february 27, 2018, i asked admiral rogers whether he has the authority and the capability to disrupt hacking operations where they originate. he responded he does not have the authority from the president to go after these perpetrators and stated that the government as a whole has so far, in his words, opted not to engage. the bottom line is that the president has not directed anyone in the intelligence community, his cabinet or elsewhere in his administration to develop or implement a strategy to disrupt, blunt or retaliate against russia for its hybrid aggression against our democracy. this threat is clear and it only grows as we move closer to our midterm elections in november. it is past time for the president to step up and provide strategic leadership against russian interference. russia has gone to schoo

and you have a president who continues to ignore the national security agencies, intelligence communityo have talked openly and worried not just about what russia did in the 2016 election, but their ongoing efforts to influence our democracy. and you have a president who has said that having a good relationship with putin seems to be what matters most to him. given the threats in a russia poses to our country and to our democracy, the president seems to always take putin at his word, seems to always accept what putin tells him rather than what in this case national security adviser and what the intelligence community tells him. he should focus on what happened in 2016. that is why so many of us worry when the president talks about getting rid of mueller before mueller completes his work. the message is very confusing. i was glad to hear the national security adviser make very clear we need to do more. but then the president turn t theed around and sid that having a good relationship is what matters most. we have to take seriously the threats from russia and act accordingly. >> and i wan

comey gave a speeshl to the national security agency, where he said it's the job of a good lawyer to say yes. it's as much of his job to say no. no is much, much harder. it must be said in a storm of it voices, no is often the undoing of a career. one of the ofh-repeated criticism is that it has too many lawyers. maybe, but one of the country's great strengths is the legal culture. as i have written before, alex -- america could fall prey for demagogues and poppy ulists, but took great comfort, as pet hut it america's air stock crazy can be found at the bar or on the bench. lawyers with their sense of civic duty created a form of public accountability that would for a help the blessings of democracy without allowing its untrammells vices. comey reveals that america does have a deep state, one of law and lawyers, and we should be deeply grateful for it. for more, read my "the washington post" column this week. let's get started. >>> on monday, ronan farrow was awarded a pulitzer age at the ripe young age of 30. it was for his groundbreaking reporting on harvey weinstein in "the new yo

the national security agency had investigated every cable sent or received by americans overseas from 1947 to '75. the irs aloud tax information for political purposes. lyndon johnson had ordered the cia to spy on anti-war protesters believing that the soviets or chinese had to be behind it because he could not wrap his mind around the idea that american students were on their own so deeply opposed to his policies particularly right when he'd thrown so much weight behind civil rights and the great society programs and it has to be the soviets and it had to be the chinese directing the students. this is a direct violation of the cia's charter which prohibits it from conducting domestic intelligence operations. the name of the operation, operation chaos, and operation chaos index's 300,000 names with in-depth files with over 700,000 people and no evidence of foreign direction found for any of them. not entirely related to our class, but nonetheless, worth noting and the church committee worths noting they conducted drug experiments on religious media and academic organizations in the un

just before leaving the bush administration, comey gave a speech to the national security agency in which he said, it is the job of a good lawyer to say yes. it is as much of the job of a good lawyer to say no. no is much, much harder. no must be spoken into a storm of crisis with loud voices all around, with lives hanging in the balance. no is often the undoing of a career. one of the often repeated criticisms of america is that it has too many lawyers. maybe. but one of the country's great strengths is its legal culture. as i've written before, it was worried that without a class of patriotic and selfless arift toe accurates, america could fall prey to demagogs and populists. but he took great consideramfore fact that america's aristocracy can be found at the bar or on the bench. tocqueville saw a form of public accountability that would help preserve the blessings of democracy without allowing its untrammelled vices. comey's memoir re memoir reveald be deeply grateful. for more, go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started. >>> on monday, r

the way he's got after the department of justice, the attorney general and members of our national security agencies is appalling and ridiculous. the fact of the matter is, you are under investigation for reasons that have nothing to do with their political points of view or who they voted for, but because there was credible evidence that there was something to investigate. and so to now go after the men and women who serve in law enforcement is appalling, and for republicans you should be ashamed of yourselves. you cannot come back after the age of trump and feel you're going to get cozy and start preaching law and order. belief me, the community is looking at you, and your credible is shot. >> serlena, how about you? how much of that does that resonate with you and democrats as you look at this, z figure? how clear is that call that he's made there, we need to take a close look at the way law infers has been regarded? >> we definitely have to take a look at how trump is damaging the image, but also the respect of law enforcement. it's funny that president trump said that james comey is the worst f

intelligence having the national security agency, and another sensitive issue comey has made, he saysconcluded that president trump in his words is not -- is morally unfit to be president. do you agree with him? >> well, i've previously stated my concerns and maybe i'm old and a traditionalist. but i think the ethical, moral and honesty exhibited standards exhibited by this president is bothersome, very bothersome to me. as far as his fitness, well r, lot of americans, 63 million americans voted for president trump. and so perhaps they're by doing so establishing a new standard for morality and ethics of the president. it doesn't comport with what i've long adhered to and believed in, starting with my father, who was an army officer. so i have questions and concerns about it. >> darryl clapper, thank you so much for coming in. >> thanks, wolf. just ahead, stormy daniels shows a sketch of the man she says threatened her to keep quiet about an alleged affair with donald trump. why didn't she report the threat at the time? >> i would have had to tell an entire police department and the p

president was doing this, that he thought it was asking leaders of law enforcement agencies and national security agencies to come forward and kiss the great man's ring to show their deference in loyalty. and he says throughout the book he compares the president to a couple of times makes references, compares the president's asking for loyalty to being like a most afia boss. that's one thing. second thing is he does talk a lot about his decisions very controversial about announcing the result of the hillary clinton investigation. he says he now regrets using that term excessively careless about the way she handled the e-mails. he said to many people that sounded like the legal standard of grossly negligent which would have triggered criminal charges. and secondly, he says he agonized over whether to announce the discovery of the additional anthony weiner e-mails toward the end of october, that they found, and then the subsequent announcement that nothing of substance was found. after all that, he gives us two things that he's never said before publicly about that. he said he was in a meeting with democrat

i also share the assessment of your counterparts across national security agencies that it does not serve national security interests to unilaterally withdraw from the deal, absent a strategy for what will replace it and how to get our allies to join us in countering iran's maligned activity outside of the nuclear program, and deal with issues within the nuclear portfolio. once again, this president is hurdling towards a crisis. he's creating unnecessary risk with the very allies we need to confront iran. so i ask again, mr. director, what is your plan? will you be a voice of reason or will you support the president's worst instincts? if confirmed, as a secretary of state, we will no longer be operating the shadows of american foreign policy. you will be the face and voice of the united states, the representers not just of a bombastic president but the american people. will you champion our values when the president embraces dictators who quash the free press or suggest doing away with elections, will you stay silent when the president and those closest to him bulk at the very idea of dip

the national security agency has exploitsof keeping open in technologies and networks to be exploitedy the united states. edward snowden's legs crippled nobody but us due to wannacry. do you believe nobody but us is a policy we can continue to use? or is it time to start patching up those former abilities? think that has changed rather dramatically. during the obama administration, in the wake of that, there was a process established. the equity being, the two competing pulls, do you continue because of the intelligence value to exploit a weakness? the company in question about a weakness? the statistics which show that the vast majority of cases, over to, you tell the company place up the discrepancy. that has been solidified by the trump administration. that process is more disciplined. there is more restraint, there is a higher threshold for satisfying the intelligence equity over placing of the discrepancy. sincessue has morphed snowden. >> thank you very much for speaking here area my name is jake. i'm a student at the elliott school. my question is related to resilience. a lot o

white house officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the cia and the national security agency. at the time two israeli intelligence officers also told buzzfeed that to know that this intelligence is shared with others without our prior knowledge, that is for us our worst fears confirmed. go back to nayyera about how this president behaves in closed circumstances with the head of the kremlin, vladimir putin. can he be trusted? >> well, he certainly can't be trusted to even listen to a briefing by senior advisers that he has selected. this all stems from the same phone call in which he was told do not congratulate vladimir putin on his election because of the signal that would send to the rest of the world about how the u.s. is no longer the banner and beacon of free, fair elections, which is something that we have until now defend everywhere else. so he was not able to listen to his advisers at that point. and certainly now we're finding out from russian sources that he went even beyond a congratulations that extended invitation to the white house which is supposed to be a priv

what's distressing was trump symbolically seemed to be ask leaders of the law enforcement and national security agency to do, to come forward and kiss the great man's ring. was trump directly in any way ever involved in that? would he have gotten this thematics personally? >> he had partners when he first went into the atlantic city market who were mobbed up. one of his partners was a bag man for the scarfo crime family of philadelphia and another one of his partners was a labor rack tear from new york. we know fast-forward decades later, the trump soho felix seder was a career criminal. intersectioned with organized crimes are not novel to the president. the second thing to remember about him, is, he's macho and he loves the rituals of threat and malis and menace and he's fascinated by the rituals of the mob. >> i want to get natasha in here on the plip side of this. james comey gets a lot of credit for some things. he gets credit for the famous going to john ashcroft, the ill attorney general's bedside to stop the white house at the time, the george w. bush white house from trying to get him to sign

trump associates and russians and brennan puts together basically a swat team from the nsa, national security agency repeat the mistakes of people of 9/11, people in their own silos, and he starts saying we've got to get to the bottom of this and come early august they're telling the white house that what's happening is a russian information warfare attack. then it becomes an issue of how much they can figure out why they're doing this, whether putin is involved, and what the u.s. should do. and at the end of july, the national security establishment intelligence community has pieced together a lot of this and is very, very concerned and then in mid-august another piece comes in. they make up intelligence, as mike reported at the time, that russian hackers are probing our state election systems, our databases and registration files and that gets them more concerned that the russians might be planning to blow up this election day. >> the book is russian roulette. michael isikoff and david corn, thank you both. >> thank you. >>> coming up, president trump is up and tweeting this morning and we know, i
