jack: towards the end of your book you make the case we should harness the national security apparatuse next pandemic, how can the cia be helpful in this. >> historically we have relied on multi-battle engagement between different nations to alert us when a virus arrives in a foreign country and we seen time and time again that countries have a been forthcoming about the outbreaks that was the case in sars covid to it was certainly the case in sars one were trying to withheld key information about virus as well seen and other nations were gonna have to get our tools of national security more engaged in the overseas mission moderating hotspots trying to identify when these affections to emerge that means the cia and nsa the public of community has wanted anywhere near this mission they fear if the cia or others got involved in this admission, anyone with a white coat would be perceived to be a spy, we live in a world we no longer can be complacent about this. jack: very important stuff can you give us two more bullets on things we ought to do to tamp this down in the future. >> i think

administration previously failed to engineer societies overseas to their image, now they try to turn national security apparatusn people domestically and socially energy the public to confirm with ideologies and standards of places like harvard and yale and federal department of education, american people are standing strang against this -- strong against this. i have talked with hundreds of parents, they are awakening, they are realizing that public school system of the past is no longer the public school system of the present, they got a glimpse to what is happening as schools went remote last year, and they were horrified. mark, i think something real both confident poignant i spoke with parents who immigrated from places like iran, and soviet union. and they told me, this feeling they get from public schools in united states of america in 2021 remind them of their childhood, growing up in repressive abroad, the same brain washing, these people are giving us a warning light, they are flashing a warning light, we have to take action and re-- rethe truth. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. mark: we'll be right b

that what i found in all policy jobs is that far too many people in the government and national security apparatusse sight of ultimately they work for ny whether the president or senator in that position ultimately it is their voice public trust their confidence and mentors reason and a lot of that is necessary to box in the principles to move those through a speech writing process in a forget fundamentally where the boxes vision is and the instincts and i had many personal experiences in my short time nsc and working in the senate where we would debate for hours speech and then put in front of your boss and he would quickly resolve all of the issues because it wasn't even a question for them to what i have read of your accounts it seems like you're speech is one of those experiences. >> so where were you when i needed you 34 years ago? so now to set the scene now little more than two years after he delivers a speech in the each german city and east german city there are prayer services followed by small peaceful demonstrations i am compressing a complicated story but they flow and spread across t

and then the national security apparatus when they start blaming one another, the secretary of defenseot removing americans? the state department is not the department of defense. the dod has the planes, the helicopters, the soldiers, the necessary equipment to go in and safeguard our personnel, not the diplomats. it's outrageous. maria: real quick, we've got to jump, but you think we're going to go back to afghanistan, that we're going to be forced to send troops in. >> yeah. look, the taliban, al-qaeda and isis-k are already on the rise. it's what happens when you don't have a conditions-based withdrawal like we did under president trump. it's what happens when you don't keep the brain center of our operation, and it's going to force us to go back in about a year's time. maria: all right, kash, good to see you, thank you so much. marsha blackburn on the other side of this b with golo, i've lost 13 inches in my waist. they're outta here. you eat normal food. you're not eating diet food. i'm doing something good for me finally.

we watched the great contributions that he made as national security adviser and joint chairman of the chiefs and he sent the national security apparatus into the post cold war era successfully, and -- and i just think he's just -- he was a wonderful human being. he had tremendous warmth, tremendous intuition. he had great common sense. he knew things that would work and knew they wouldn't, but he was also a loyal soldier. he stayed with the bush administration with a decision to invade iraq even though i'm sure he was well aware of the problems that would lie ahead. >> you told our team that you were on a zoom call with secretary powell just a couple of weeks ago, so recently you had spoken with him. what can you share with us about that call and your interaction with him that day. >> well, he was, first of all, he was -- he was 100% colin powell. as you said, i've never missed a day of work, that's what he said. he's very much engaged in business, doing a lot of stuff with energy, working with private firms, very committed on the social side, and obviously following the country closely, very concerned about the partisan split, especi

now what they are trying to do is turn the national security apparatus against the american people domesticallyengineer the american public to conform with the ideologies and standards in places like harvard and yale and the federal department of education. americans are standing strong against this. i've talked now with hundreds of parents across this country. they are awakening for the first time. they are realizing that the public school system of the past is no longer the public school system of the present. they got a glimpse into what's happening as schools went remote last year. in many cases they were horrified. mark, i think something that was really poignant that came across to me is i spoke to many parents who immigrated from places like iran, the soviet union, the former soviet socialist republic in central asia, they all told me that the feeling they are getting from public schools in the united states of america, the 2021, reminded them of their childhoods growing up in repressive communist regimes abroad, the same tactics, the same brainwashing, the same indoctrination. these peo

national security agencies. the politicization of our national security apparatus is utterly destructive. it has severely eroded trust in institutions that have long received bipartisan support. this effect is predictable and inevitable, as more americans conclude that intelligence agencies are just another weapon in domestic political battles, the less willing they are to w concede to these agencies the huge power they wield. the intelligence community, theh military, and other national security bodies have traditionally been colorblind meritocracies, where the most capable people move up rapidly through the ranks. the effectiveness of these organizations will unavoidably suffer when merit is devalued in favor of any other consideration. u i urge all the directors here today to stay out of politics and concentrate exclusively on deterring our enemies and winning wars. as we learned in afghanistan, america is not unbeatable. we have real enemies and they mean to do us harm. they have no interest in global warming or race and gender intersectionality, they closely watch us every day to fin

he was a master in national security apparatus and then diplomacy when he became secretary of state. was -- he always had the courage to -- um -- speak his conviction no matter what the audience and that's to be admired and i think we heard that in that -- that clip right there. that -- that was vintage secretary/general powell. >> yeah. and, governor, former-president obama remembered powell as an exemplary soldier and patriot. just to show that -- how the power that he had. for people of various political ideologies. obama also said how much it meant to him that powell endorsed him in 2008 despite being a lifelong republican at the time. now, this is the first of several times that powell called out the republican party and the direction of the gop. here he is endorsing both obama and biden. >> i have some concerns about the direction that the party has taken in recent years. i'm also troubled by not what senator mccain says but what members of the party say and it is permitted to be said. such things as, well, you know that mr. obama is a muslim. well, the correct answer is he is

we also should be very concerned about global warming which the national security apparatus of the united states of america even during the trump administration said was one of the biggest existential threats to the welfare of our people and the global community. so, yes, we are very concerned about reaching an environment which is not dangerous for life on this planet. that's a very big issue for us. you're right. and we are going to deal with that in the build back better plan. we are dealing with it. we are dealing with it in the b.i.f. plan. the b.i.f. plan is a plan to spend $1.2 trillion on infrastructure investment over the next 10 years. which will make our country more competitive, will increase our ability to produce goods here in america, make it in america, which will make us more independence pent and self-sufficient -- independent and self- sufficient. we found in the pandemic we weren't as self-sufficient as we should be and want to be. these bills we are considering will do that. i don't expect many republicans to vote for it. even the transportation bill ought to be for,

the policy job site held in washington was that far too many people in the government and national security apparatusose sight of ultimately who they work for and why whether it's the president or a senator they are in that position. they were the ones elected and it is ultimately their voice. most of those people were ti elected for the right reasons . the public but their confidence in them for a certain reason and a lot of the process that's necessary but ultimately many staffers i think strive to box in their principles. to move their principles through something like this speech writing process and forget fundamentally where their bosses vision is. their bosses instinct and i had many personal experiences even in my short time at the nsc and working in the senate where we would ldebate for hours over email or days about a speech and you would put it in front of your boss and they would quickly resolve all the issues because it wasn't even a question for them and what i've read of your account the speech was one of those experiences. >> all i can say is whereyou guys when i needed you 34 n years

national security leaders to discuss the global threat landscape and the u.s. response. this year especially, we reflect on the incredible transformation of our national security apparatus, an expansion of the homeland security enterprise, over the last two decades. we recognize the success we have had in preventing another 9/11-style attack, but are sobered by the challenges posted posed by longstanding and emerging homeland security threats. some of these threats include the recent riot and domestic terrorism, more frequent cyberattacks from increasingly sophisticated actors and the security implications of the taliban's return to power in afghanistan. with respect to domestic terrorism, our witnesses have testified before this committee previously about the grave nature of the threat. second mayorkas called it the greatest threat in the homeland. i hope to hear from the panel today about their current domestic terrorism threat assessment in the wake of the january 6th attack on the united states capitol. regarding cybersecurity, over the past year, we have seen our adversaries burrow into federal networks through a sophisticated supply chain of attack, exploit vulnera

there are things that need to be done to our national security apparatus, due to the experiences i havedversaries back on their heels which we belong. stuart: the election is for reverend warnock's seat? >> that is right, stuart there is a lot of voters remorse electing rafael warnock. he shoulder georgians a bag of goods. he was quite charming. we've seen what the goods look like. terrorists run afghanistan. open border. we have taxes going up for everyday americans and we've got a rising inflation. i can tell you as a young father, i mean, i've got a one-year-old and a four-year-old boy. my wife and i were talking about, even the price of diapers is skyrocketing. stuart: that is true. >> who does that hurt the most? lower income americans. we have to fix it. we need next generation leadership up there in the senate desperately to get this country right back on track. stuart: latham, we'll get back to you, closer to the election to see how this thing shakes out. thanks for being with us today, sir. we appreciate it always. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: you got it. president biden and c

enemies or winning wars is not just in the intelligence community but throughout the entire national security apparatus the military and state department and other bodies. and thosese that with military service members focusing on the dangers of white supremacy is determined one —- systemic racism. fox news host tucker carlson the recent release of the national intelligence estimate on global warming, general millie defending critical race theory and white rage at west point and the state department and with the fisa court and then to take out as a national security agency with critical race theory and product etiquette. it was unprecedented challenges included not limiting to with the intellectual-property fat left and the cybercrimes against the united states and allies and to take the intelligence committee by surprise the follow-up from ournc withdrawal and afghanistan including the empowerment of the taliban longtime ties to al qaeda and the decline ind us insurance capabilities and loss off intelligence streams in your citizens and the spread of ransomware tax the unknown known security threats e

on the front page of the washington post says six countries are in dire straits and the national security apparatussomething democrats have talked about for a very long time, it doesn't seem to be happening this time either, which is what some people describe as a loophole around private hedge fund and investment companies in carried interest >> carried interest being tax debt at normal rates. >> my question here is why have we decided to privilege that at a time within your party effectively controls all of walk or very close to it, that this is not something the democrats seeming to pushing >> nobody controls the united states senate. when you say we control all of washington, that's simply not due true that's not true. tore debt limit wouldn't be in question we have an irresponsible party on the other side that makes sure the united states doesn't welch on its debt. and the minority leader of the united states senate says that option is absolutely unacceptable and he will not lift a finger to make it happen so don't pretend that we're in control of everything. we do have the majority of one in t

kept al qaeda and other groups distracted and destabilized so that we could build up our national security apparatus, our homeland security here, to make us safer. it is hard to hear from this panel that right now we are safer, but we have to watch for the reconstitution of these terrorist groups. no one likes to hear that. i would ask that we get a classified briefing on our over the horizon posture. i would ask for that commitment, but as someone who served in iraq with the cia we watched the reconstitution of al qaeda in western iraq which became isis. who are the trip wires, i guess, secretary austin and general milley, that you are looking for that would push you to engage the white house and say, hey, we have a real problem here? what are those specific things you're looking for that would change your assessment from one of we're all right right now to we need to take more significant military action? >> thanks. first on your request for an over the horizon capability brief. we'll certainly sign up for that. i committed to the chairman to do that early on. and i'll have general mckenzie and th

we can build up our national security apparatus. our homeland security here to make us safer. it is of course hard to hear from this panel that right now we are safer, but we have to watch for the reconstitution of these terrorist groups. no one likes to hear that. i would ask that we get a classified briefing on our over the horizon posture. just so we understand -- i understand we can't do it in open session. but just so we understand, what's on this committee, what we can expect when it comes to watching those threats. i would ask for that commitment. as someone who has served in iraq with the cia, we watched the reconstitution of al-qaeda in western iraq, which became isis. what are the trip wires that secretary austin, and then general milley, that you are looking for that would push you to engage the white house and say, hey, we have a real problem here? what are those specific things that you are looking for that would change your assessment from one of, you know, we are all right right now, too we need to take more significant military action? >> thanks for first on yo

presumably hard at work writing the national security strategy and the next national defense strategy. done correctly these would help focus the u.s. security apparatus on the most pressing threats facing the nation. the defense strategy in particular was to specifically inform efforts to shape, equip, train and posture the united states military. the 2018 national defense strategy was important as it signaled a sharp turn from the global war on terrorism to great power competition. and although it came out three years ago but three years ago the us military is to making that transition. there's no shortage of voices and opinions about what should be included in america's next national defense strategy. but no voices bobby more worthy of consideration than bridge colby, , the cofounder of a fun initiative, a longtime think tank scholar, former deputy assistant secretary of defense and most significantly for the purposes of today's discussion served as the pentagon's lead official for the development of the 2018 national defense strategy. he is the author of a new book released this tuesday titled "the strategy of denial: american defense in an age of

we also should be very concerned about global warming which the national security apparatus of the united states of america even during the trump administration said was one of the biggest existential threats to the welfare of our people and the global community. so, yes, we are very concerned about reaching an environment which is not dangerous for life on this planet. that's a very big issue for us. you're right. and we are going to deal with that in the build back better plan. we are dealing with it. we are dealing with it in the b.i.f. plan. the b.i.f. plan is a plan to spend $1.2 trillion on infrastructure investment over the next 10 years. which will make our country more competitive, will increase our ability to produce goods here in america, make it in america, which will make us more independence pent and self-sufficient -- independent and self- sufficient. we found in the pandemic we weren't as self-sufficient as we should be and want to be. these bills we are considering will do that. i don't expect many republicans to vote for it. even the transportation bill ought to be for,

security apparatus have put out a consensus report saying this will be a game changer when it comes to national security. at the top of their concerns is migration. climate migration. what happens if the 80 million people in the nile delta run out of airable land and freshwater and have to go is north into europe? what happens when the glaciers in the himalayas stop providing enough freshwater for both pakistan and india? here in charleston, south carolina, it's so real they're planning for a billion dollar seawall, and they're completely rezoning this historic city to deal with the realities. but the politics in washington continue to whistle past this graveyard. joe biden's build back better plan would spend about $350 billion a year including a big carrot and stick program for big utilities to move away from planet-cooking fuels and into renewable resources like solar and wind. but senators like joe manchin say that's too expensive. in the meantime, they approved a $750 billion a year budget for the pentagon, 10 billion more than they asked for going forward there. of course, all of this com

national security. doing that will require us to extend our existing regulatory apparatus to address these issues, but also congress where we may need new rules of the road innovation, but we need to make sure we have helpful innovation that improve our acts in congress. >> i appreciate that and i'm sure we're all looking forward to working with you in that regard. i'd like to turn to the world bank and imf and communist china. they released from their investigation with the important world bank doing business reports. these reports bill themselves as providing objective measures of business regulations for local firms in some 190 economies. the report found that the data describing the business climate in china was changed because of pressure by then-world bank ceo crystalina georgiva. her goal, apparently, was to change that at the same time china improved their capital. in spite of those concerns, the biden administration continues to support her to continue to lead the imf. mr. deputy secretary, what steps are we ting to safeguard against the communist china? >> we saw issues that were of serious conce

national security. in doing that, will require us to extend our existing regulatory apparatus to address these issues buto work with congress for me making new revelatory rules to address new accommodation for the things that we want to make sure we continue to do is that we create room for innovations that will help advance our economic interests printed. >> i appreciate that but many of us look forward to working with you in that regard and i would like to turn to another point in that has to do with the imf and communist china. last month law firm, findings from his investigation today the regularities for their imported bank doing business reports printed these reports providing objective measures of business regulations for local firms, and some 190 economies. the report found that the data describing this business climate and china has changed because of pressure by world bank ceo, and trent. and her goal evidently was to invite china's rankings at precisely the time that the china was waiting at the world bank increases capitol a clear conflict conflict if interest predict the biden administration

a military apparatus that is larger than 17 other nations put together all that, that statistic is fading with the ascendancy of china, obviously. but it still doesn't translate into security. so the question is, what does and in, in a piece that came out right after $911.00, that was printed all around the world with a noted exception of anywhere in the united states. i wrote that the lesson of 911 was just that and that we had to somehow come to terms with the interconnectedness of the world. you know, we somehow had to kind of generate and it may sound naive, but some kind of global sense of interdependence. because one of the problems of 911 and this is of the circumstances, 911 and white shocked american so much why they were asking, why do they hate us? america in all of its power was so remarkably cut off from the world. i mean to the time is 91125 percent of congressmen had no passports. the president himself had rarely left part of the country save to visit his father and beijing. when his dad was the ambassador there, you know you had a country absolutely insulated, in wealth. at the time of $911.00 american spent more money maintaining their lawns than the count
