lawmakers to permanently reauthorize powers given to the national security agency the request was made in a letter sent to congress on thursday son by former national intelligence director don coats additionally his appeals to reveal about the controversial call detail records program and actually been suspended for collecting more information up was legally. the spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom which is set to expire in december kill a bump and brings us more. the trump white house is speaking up about a high profile an asse a program that allows the recording of americans phone calls and personal messages dan coats the outgoing director of national intelligence is urging congress to reauthorize the law before it expires at the end of the year now dan coats has confirmed that the n.s.a. has put the program on hold however he says it's necessary to have the ability to get the program going again if needed as technology changes our adversaries trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt in light of these dynamic environment the administ

it uncovered evidence of a secret deal between the bahraini national security agency and members of al qaida . it's alleged they targeted opposition figures in the 2011 protests part of the so-called arab spring. al-jazeera arabic reporter tom i'll miss hell conducted the investigation on one of his findings was secret video recordings made by several leading al qaeda figures. but the head of the internet son mohammed saleh was closely linked to al qaeda in bahrain. you know see. here. and a very innocent. is a bahraini national who registered at a military training camp for the soldiers of allah linked to al qaeda. the recordings of these men had been kept secret since july 20th levon and have only recently come to light. i shot. 4 months before alba louche recorded this statement on the streets of bahrain had been the scene of violent clashes between the offshore it is and opposition protesters the question is why did mohammed saleh. choose to make these secret video recordings at that time i also do other mark but. i don't know who or what he was going to. be dark or not. and why. i

as i came back stateside, i was assigned to a national security agency, and there i was doing a lot of cyber security work there, and then when i transitioned out, you know, i in a limbo so to speak as to what i wanted to do essentially i wanted to stay within that community, so i had already obtained certifications and the technical acumen to transition, you know, easily, so to speak, but it was what did i want to do with my career at that point. >> what skills do you think you developed in the military that helped you in your entrepreneurial push, and what did you maybe need a little help from from the boot camp? >> like i said, time management, self-discipli self-discipline, you know, just that belief in self that, you know, no matter what adversity, you know, befalls me, i can overcome it and push through when i was starting the business, there were several knowledge gaps that i had. i had developed a strong technical background and a consulting background, but as far as owning and operating a business, there were key elements of information that i didn't have. so it took me about

telephone numbers faxes and e-mails if any allegedly share that information with america's national security agency i'm happy to say we can go live now to dr heinz gardner lecture after. political science history in the lecture all political science at the university of vienna germany and austria are both e.u. member states they've got long relations with each other why would berlin spy on vienna what's to gain from that. information gathering. information exchange. among friends everybody should know what each of those 2 are obviously. well obviously there's more than that because it was necessary that there are some. legal activities going on by the chairman. service this is almost a smaller case and basically austria it's dog it's not treated austrian i mean it is but more international organizations but if you look at the and they say how they spied on europe beam union officials and get america that's a much more heavy case and what is usually done it's down lay if it. happens between allies among so coy finance you can downplay it investigations not follow it up yeah just oh yes sir germany h

that's what you have with the national security act. when the agencyis given authority to perform its core missions which are to collect secrets and protect secrets, that is espionage and counterintelligence, it's clear in the security act that we have the power. to protect. it doesn't sound like it's on steroids but in legal terms this means something. it did mean something in action. when you move away to the analysis area, it gets vaguer. this is because we have competitors in the analytic area. where as we are not competing with the military and espionage or covert action, a little bit with the fbi and counterintelligence but that's our core mission. with the intelligence analysis we do have competitors in the military and the state department. you would think if that's supposed to be one of cia's primary missions the language giving us that authority would be more equally powerful to the others. instead we are to correlate, evaluate and disseminate what does correlate mean? what does evaluate mean? it means you better compare what other people are

they can be the intelligence agencies, the cia, the fbi, the military, the national security council, the bankers, and the globalists, the fossil fuel companies, or unspecified elites. have or almost always are pursuing some sort of effort that undermines the government. the message over and over again is that this cabal is either illegitimate itself, it is making the government illegitimate, or it is in cahoots with illegitimate unelected forces, and those bad actors must be opposed and uncovered for the nation to return to its two course. one of the things i always found interesting about it is the arguments really span the political divide in this red and blue state america. you can find common usage of the deep state on both sides. , today we hear -- today, we are mostly about it from president trump and his allies in the republican party who want to cast out some motivations on the law enforcement agency, the fbi, judges, at times the cia. but it was not too long ago when left-wing critics were alleging there was a deep state alliance between, say, halliburton and the oil compani

worked incredibly hard both independently amongst themselves and with law enforcement and national security agenciesd to help fight help fightnd extremism and all these other terrible things that have existed in our society for a very long time. i am proud of the work they have done. the congressman i think is a little off days in some of his accusations in the work these has made aave done huge difference in the united states and around the world -- the congressman is a little off base. >> the problem is the companies have not agreed on a definition for what kind of content constitutes this white nationalist extremism. i guess i'm curious what the conclusion is about how they will work together in the future . facebook talk to me about how after the fact a manifesto and were able to scrub but from platforms, anything proactive they can do? emily: that is certainly a question a lot of people are asking. criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, these mass shootings -- what is your job ike in washington these days? >> our company are certainly under scrutiny, and i don't think they get the

>> we have been in touch with the relevant law enforcement agencies as well as the national security agencies and the u.s. government. i have got to say the state department on saturday, very quickly put out a strong tweet condemning this action by the iranian government and reminding them that they are going to be held accountable should any harm come to individual american citizens. so we appreciate that a great deal. david: to what the president said in france, they are not acting as good players. we just saw it with regard to your organization. they lit off missiles over the weekend. they are doing a number of things that show they have no intention of behaving like good players. >> that's right. if you look at the middle east, israel in the course of 24 hours had to be militarily active against iranians and iranian proxies in iraq, in syria, in lebanon. there is no let-up in the iranian activity. within the next couple of weeks they are again pledged and committed to further exceed and violate the limit of this iran nuclear deal. david: therefore, i suspect you believe there should be no

will be our service component commander working the support and airmen we provide to the national security agency and other things we do across the intelligence community. we will pull all that together supporting both u.s. cyber calm and air force cyber roles and look at the low global comes and we pull those things together and our belief is that will make this more effective across information spectrum. frankly, were still working about how to define that. we work definitions across the joint world. information warfare is this larger issue of how to be take all the data that is out there and available to us and use tools to make that data work on behalf of war fighters. information operations to meet is a little bit more tailored of taking precise intelligence information, crafting a message that will have the right impact, finding the right audience to deliver it to having the means to deliver it to them and drive the effect the 24th air force already has game in that area and we think pulling the greater intelligence resources together with them will give them even more game in the world we

the national security agency had investigated every cable sent or received by americans overseas from 1947 to 1975. the irs alloyed tax information to be used for political purposes. lyndon johnson had ordered the cia to spy on a anti-war protestors believe flag 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 had thrown so much weight behind civil rights and the great society programs. it has to be the soviets. it has to be the chinese directing these students. this is a direct violation of the cia's charter which prohibits it from conducting domestic intelligence operations. the name of the operation is named chaos. it is like they're not trying to hide how nefarious this stuff is. 300,000 names of in-depth files and over 700,000 people and no evidence of foreign direction found for any of them. and not entirely related to our class, but nonetheless, worth noting. the church committee also reveal things like the cia conducted drug experi

this technology is from the movie enemy of the state may be from 1998 and it's about this national security agency. rathose technologies and in his pants and shoes with trackers and smoke detectors. it seems the entire eastern seaboard all at once and it has a video capability and watches the will smith character as they scuttle around. one night at a movie theater in 1998, an engineer at the national lab went to see the movie with his wife. he was absolutely thrilled. he thought it was amazing and that we shouldth do this. they were able to launch a very large area and the cia got involved and became interested in what they were doing because they could use it to unravel the networks where they were wreaking havoc on the servicemembers. you could rewind that moment in time. you could see where they went but it gets better once you see where they went now you have a location associated and in theory you can find the people who play the really big positions in the group. this is obviously thrilling to the cia. t went through an incredibly rapid series of development cycles culminating with the syst

the foreign director of the national security agency amanda intelligence and the military highly respected for his discipline. he came into the cia and 2006, four years about the detainee said we have to put this on more solid ground. let me read everything and he was a voracious reader of information about the program so he could master the detail. let me read everything and figure out the right path is. i talked to my colleagues. his effort led to a few more interrogations but by that point the writing was on the wall. just five years after 9/11, just four years after the 2002 capture of abu zubaydah the program was already declining. the appetite wasn't there. hayden asked questions about what worked and what didn't. waterboarding was dropped as the interrogator said we don't think despite the national conversations we don't think it's the most significant tech week we have and we don't think we have to use it anymore. sleep deprivation for example comes up again and again. people don't like to be tired and they start to lose their will. hayden scaled back the program. there were more a
