it was not only just nsa and fbi and cisa. it was broader partnerships within the federal and local and state government and also academia, being able to work with a series of good subject matter experts that understood the threat. and the big thing was a series of other threat actors that were operating, so again having that ability to work with partnerships and that ability to understand the threat and being able to have the ability to act i thought was instrumental in the successes that we had. raj: a few questions related to this theme of partnership and one has to do with international partners. if you could speak to what have we learned from our international partnerships, and where do you see that succeeding? gen. nakasone: certainly we learned a lot from our international partnerships. whether or not it is a very small group or whether not a broader group like nato, one of the first things that we learned is that there is talent everywhere. when you go to a series of different countries, in europe or the pacific, the f

>> i would imagine you say between nsa and cybercommand? >> and encouraging each to focus on the respective unique mission areas is the next logical step that will be facilitated by splitting the leadership role? >> i do not agree spends each of those statements were included in the unpublished assessment of the future leadership structure of the united states cybercommand and national security agency it was commissioned by deputy secretary of defense and was authorized by the cochairs of the defense task force on cyber. whether or not you agree with each of those conclusions do you believe the cochairs responsible for this possess the independent experience and expert knowledge necessary to undertake the assessment to undertake deputy secretary work back. >> i would agree they have certain experience but i would say that is based upon time. >> as director of nsa and cyber, you aware of a specific data plan for termination. >> i am not. >> us cyber, rageful operability for years ago what is fully operational capability mean? >> as set of st

>> and as director of nsa and commander of u.s. cyber com, are you aware of a specific data plan for determination of the dual hat provision? >> i'm not. >> understand that u.s. cyber com reached full operational capability nearly four years ago, can you tell me what full operational capabilities means? >> there were a set of standards hour years ago that the command achieved and they achieved those based on a numeric rating. >> and i recognize that the guys, assessment commissioned by dod and not nsa, but i'm concerned that it was placed on the shelf for years and our staff requested a copy in j you will, but the committee received a copy only after the markups for the 2020 budget, 2022 budget was completed. and i support the provisions of the iaa, which provide additional reporting on the issues and we can hope to continue this discussion, whether chairman, but i want to give you an opportunity to expand and with that i'll yield back after the answers, mr. chairman. >> thank you, congressman and i appreciate the opportunity to co

nsa tonight's last word. "11th hour with brian williams" starts now. >>> well good evening. day 259 of the biden administration the president trying to solve the mounting cry sisz that threatened to push the u.s. into chaos and the world is watching. biden and the team now have less than two weeks to figure out how to raise the nation's borrowing limit and avoid a first-ever u.s. default. and he has to do it without a republican vote because that's who the republicans are now. they insist with a straight face

the nsa's improper suspension of former nsa general counsel michael ellis for political reasons. the fbi's provision of false information to the fisa court tl secure warrants to spy on trump associate carter page. the list goes on and on. meanwhile, the internationalsp threat matrix does not take a time out as our national security agencies become enthralled by critical race theory and pronoun etiquette. to the contrary, we're facing an array of pressing challenges, including china's increasing aggressiveness toward taiwan, alongside its systematic campaign of intellectual property theft, espionage, currency manipulation, corporate coercion, and cybercrime against the united states. china's testing of a hypersonic missile, which according to press reports, took the intelligence community by surprise. the continuing fallout from our withdrawal from afghanistan, including the empowerment of the taliban and their longtime ties to al qaeda, the decline in u.s. deterrence capabilities, the loss of intelligence streams, and u.s. citizens and allies who were left behind.er the spread of

amy: we will hear yanis varoufakis, former british labour leader jeremy corbyn, nsa whistleblower edward snowden, and others. >> what has happened to julian assange is a crime and you must be freed. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in sudan, the military says it has placed prime minister abdalla hamdok under house arrest in an undisclosed location and detained most of his cabinet members in what the information ministry is calling a coup. sudan's military ruler has declared a national state of emergency and said he had dissolved a joint military-civilian governing council meant to transition sudan to civilian rule. he said a new government would lead sudan until like 2023. this comes after a failed coup attempt last month and two years after a popular uprising and military takeover ousted long-time president omar al-bashir. the internet went down across most of sudan as tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets, blocking roads in khartoum, and facing gunfire near sudan's military's headqua

mission moderating hotspots trying to identify when these affections to emerge that means the cia and nsanity 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 first of all we need to build better capacities in this country to try to scale up the production the things that we need to protect ourselves from a public health crisis of this magnitude that means having the ability to mass-produce and deploy a diagnostic test of scalloped testing that was the missing link earlier in this pandemic in the ability to domestically produce the biological drugs were gonna need as a first line of defense of a strain of a virus, we don't have a residual capacity to manufacture in this country when this virus first emerge, the coronavirus first emerged we scramble to find domestic capacity of the drugs and we

in statute, and lot that combines the power of the federal government, so by statute you have csa, nsa, fbi , all of those agencies that bring the full force of the federal government when it comes to cyber operations and ingenuity of the private sector to come together to create that common picture to solve the issues, to be able to plan and exercise against my serious that's -- threats and to implement those plans. csa has a superpower, it is our very expensive information sharing authority. where some agencies can share bilaterally, we can share many to many, so we have already run into more than 16 partners, our alliance partners to solve that visibility issue, but we have been able to use that to the benefit of all of our partners as we are able to get information that is seen globally on other infrastructure and share that with other partners. the other day with our teammates fbi, that was erased by some of our partners, so i am hopeful this paradigm shift in mission from plain old partnership to true operational collaboration from information sharing to true information enabling

government retaliate against russia our next guest is a former nsa and marine corps hacker who now helps the corporate world identify vulnerabilities he has operations in 20 countries and clients include three of the fortune top five companies. david, welcome i don't want where to begin. let's begin here we hear and see on advertisements all the time about cloud, the cloud, the cloud, it's coming, it's here, it's vital but is it vulnerable >> that's what we are starting to see when you start looking at the capabilities of these atta attackers -- it is not just what we are seeing with the nation state disrupters we are also seeing the ransomware hackers increasings because they are making so much money. managed service providers -- the things that keep me up at night as a cyber security professional are the supply chain attacks it is not a one to one attacking a jbs or a colonial pipeline from a ransomware perspective. you are talking about attacking hundreds of thousands of organizations all around the world from a single source or a single hack. the russians have had a lot of success. t

they made a decision that the two top officials of nsa wouldn't meet in the same room together. they were taking precautions early. >> they were taking precautions when the official position of the white house, now we're sgeet the political questions. >> it's like 5:46. >> you have some strong language in the book about the importance of messaging, being honest with the public. telling the truth, saying when you don't know and being willing to step up to that and you tell about two lost weeks when the white house panicked over a remark made by a low level hhs official. come on now, the book, if you read very carefully is very critical of president trump. am i right about that? >> the book is critical of the political leadership, including the president. we can look back at when the president was reluctant to take steps early. every week mattered. i met with the president right before they announced the mitigation. the administration made a decision to slow the 15 days of spread. they followed it with 30 days of slow the spread after that. clearly they were taking aggressive step

it would only rise to the level of being seen by somebody like the nsa if you are transferring large amounts of cash or making consistent transfers of large quantities. there is that back and forth. that is a legitimate concern, one that folks in the federal reserve say they are working to address and we will see how that goes. safety, security and anonymity is going to be part of any u.s.-backed central bank digital currency. i think a lot of folks who have become very distrustful and wary of the government are going to say, i don't want this even if this rolls out. i want to keep cash. i think those full would be in the minority and a shrinking minority as we use digital currency more and more. no one is talking about getting rid of cash entirely. people who are dubious of the u.s. government can keep the banknotes. they will find that fewer and fewer people are willing to accept those. host: let's talk to mike who is calling from long beach, california. caller: my question is in regard to the value of the dollar. does this have any effect on the u.s. being the regard this being th

in some instance they've affiliated with nsa and that information, affiliated with the fbi. they're not sitting on the information, and then we engage with cisa i'd say pretty much on a daily basis when it comes to receiving alerts and sharing what we discovered in our systems, what they're observing either in the federal agency. so the dialogue has already taken place. i think the benefit of this it's going to be a virtual cycle because as these incidents evolve, there are going to be new tactics and techniques and procedures. they're going to require different ways of responding to them. cisa is going to have the benefit of more data and information, and they're going to take those lessons learned i believe and deliver them in an unclassified way to the critical infrastructure sector. i think it's a balance and credence in terms of its value. >> do you want to add something real quick? >> thank you. and i actually do. with respect to working with cisa and our various sector risk management agencies and their intel groups, it's very important that the intelligence community

>> real quickly, if i may, there's a concept that the leader of a big team at nsa talks about, which is the fog of more. when you're in a situation like this and you're in triage mode, what you don't want to do is you don't want to put so much information out there to sisa that you're putting information that's extraneous, that's noise, that's not focused. so you want some time. that's why we think the 72 hours from a confirmed event is an important period of time to put in place. and the flexibility to engage in conversations after that. i think what you're setting up, chairman, is what i consider to be a virtous cycle. you talk about six years down the road. we know that the attacks are going to be probably very different than they are right now. we're going to have different types of networks, more software. we'll be certainly in a world of ai, where systems are working with very complex algorithms. what we need to do is we need to build information up so that we can look at the attacks. they actually become an opportunity for us to understand what our adversaries are doing, to se

he is the nsa. back in 2016 computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server to a russian-based bank, and there is the jake sullivan's statement saying it's exposing trump's secret communications to russia. connect the dots on the that fact that some of these people who were abusing power are now in power right now. >> it's a shocking tale of the hypocrisy and corruption washington d.c. you have one presidential candidate and the national security advisor pretending in 2016 to have no idea what's going on when their campaign is funneling the money to get this gash average on -- garbage on president trump. as you said, the media, they're leaking stories at the time and pretending to be surprised, and then these individuals come back full circle four years later, and now jake sullivan's national security adviser. all those depositions are now public. i declassified them, and everyone can go read what jake sullivan wrote and testified to under himself, and they should be held accountable.

is he trying to flip michael sussman in order to go after people like jake sullivan, biden's nsa.e you back on soon. >> always a pleasure. elizabeth: we'll have you back on again. still to come this hour, border crisis, 10 republican governors to join governor abbott at the border. white house reject as border disaster declaration. we have warnings about migrants with potential ties to al qaeda trying to cross. the supreme court delivering a win for trump. we told you. a jam-packed hour. up next, gop strategist ford o'connell. george soros group criticized for backing defund police, defunding police movements in austin, texas, and minneapolis as crime slams minority neighborhoods and cities. you are watching "the evening edit". hi, my name is tony cooper, and i'm going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you're still responsible

. >> judge jeanine: who was it in congress that said the nsa doesn't spy on us and then to the left saide when people lie to movement i actually wrote a book called don't lie to me. here's the problem with janet yellen. she says it involves no reporting of individual transactions. we are not spying but there's a shortfall, a tax gap, a failure of some to report income. there is a tax fraud. so we're going to require banks to report every customer transaction over 600. she is lying to you. they are spying on you, $600 or more. now the bank is now an agent of the irs on. >> jesse: and that's the point geraldo, you can't have the bank dep teased by the if he said to snoop on american citizens >> geraldo: well, we have that now. >> jesse:. >> jesse: not this >> geraldo: my point is, the banks have been empowered and required to report transactions of $10,000 or more. why? because of dope dealers, you know, all the cash business. so you get your stack of cash, you write a check, you're laundering the money, the banks can see that. >> jesse: that's a lot different than $600 >> geraldo: it's a

another example, ongoing house intel committee with the heads of the cia, nsa, dni, not on how the intelave been weaponized against american citizens, no, that would be too germane, that might actually do something for you if they stopped reading y your texts, lt you post what you wanted on facebook. this hearing wasas about dei. that is not a new intel agency. it is a new cult, it is called diversity, equity, and inclusion. so the hearing began with and schiff complaining, this is a key problem for most americans, that all the intel briefers are white men. >> i can't help but notice the majority of briefers to appear before the committee are white and male. we need to recruit officers with diverse backgrounds in the ic and show them there is a path forward to advance to grow their careers to top leadership positions. >> tucker: oh, can't help but notice my intel briefers are white men. is that a problem for you recently as't you are trying to fix your garage? a problem for you every time you fill up your truck for $3.30 a gallon? if only we had more diverse intel briefers, this would be

and says the hillary campaign was advised by the foreign policy advisor then jake sullivan, bidens nsa trump colluding to russia then i sussman took the information over to the fbi in september 2016, it's coming together as a fact pattern in the timeline, your final work, we gotta go soon. >> if i'm jake sullivan i'm a nervous guy because they screwed up afghanistan and now i may be implicated in a big and different crime i kinda wonder how long that guy will stay in his job. elizabeth: it's great to see you, thank you for joining us. later this hour how much power should the irs get to snoop into your financial transactions everything you make as little as $600 that's what the democrats want to pay for the big spending we have the constitutional roadmap to fight this, two dozen states may take it on nebraska is saying no we have more on the latest in the covid pandemic next. stay there. ♪ dad, we got this. we got this. we got this. we got this. we got this. yay! we got this. we got this! life is for living. we got this! let's partner for all of it. edward jones that building you're tr

you saw the department of homeland security created, powers be expanded for the nsa and other agenciesese powers ultimately abused but it kind of creates a momentum within the federal government itself that makes it difficult to reassess, think about, should we withdraw from afghanistan, iraq? i worry that we will end up making these same mistakes as we set out on this so-called competition with china. the second quick point i would make is, not only is this transformation happening, but i have seen little to no meaningful dissent among democrats in the congress concerned about will there be any abuses of power here? move the cia and state department be setting their own china policies? ther have been no statements from congressional democrats talking about oversight and the need to make sure we don't let this be run out of control. this is very concerning to me. juan: when our leaders talk about the geopolitical threat china, are they talkin about -- are they really talking about china threatening the united states, or are they talking about china challenging the continued world supre

and once again he had to deal with general li, and he brought in the intelligence agencies, the nsa, national security agency, gina haspel, the cia director, and told her, look at everything. told the joint chiefs, called the admiral moran operations around china and said, -- the admiral who ran -- they may be misread by the chinese as provocative. this was a moment, this is a military persons nightmare, and to have an adversary think you might attack them, and then later to have the adversary actually think that you, your own government, might collapse. >> that's just astonishing. you guys were right that during that time, general milley was concerned that president trump had suffered a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election. and i'm curious, i would like both of you to weigh in on this, maybe starting with bob costa. why was this that much of a surprise, the way trump was acting? why was this that much of a surprise to milley given what he had seen from trump and all the other sort of jaw-dropping moments that we see that we have learned in the book? bob costa. >>

director of the defense intelligence agency, the director of the ns answerer, and you're going to be -- nsanot talking about china, you're talking about diversity? is that right? >> well, look, this is one of the cults the democrat party is following, if you don't agree with us, you're somehow a racist. they're talking about critical race theory. why was the military talking about critical race theory when we have china doing all of these things? we heard that from joan milliare. -- general milley. here we are this week talking about diversity in the work force while at the same time what are they doing to the work force and the military intelligence agencies? maria: yeah. >> forcing vaccinations. forcing max wearing. they're -- mask wearing. they're talking about teaching critical race theory. they're not working on the things they should be doing which is how do we deter china and win a war against china. maria: yeah. ric, real quick word because while china was launching hypersonic missiles, the state department was celebrating pronoun day. >> the only thing i can think of is maybe delaw

niece why executed a memorandum on if four corners of the heater that was with the nsa and the white house. he's not walked back, not defends himself. he's continueses to not satisfy any of our questions -- >> harris: why won't he walk it back in some people say they don't say sorry because they think they're complicit. sometimes they're stubborn. we don't know. in this instance when senators are saying will you apologize for something that seemed like it was adjacent to the language in the school board association memo, which they have walked back, will you to the same? >> i can't speak to why he can't. all i can speak to is the fact that he for some reason is unable to intellectually articulate a reason why he did not investigate further than the four corners of the letter, why the opening sentence of his mohammed random, deploying federal resources against parents relied on an untrue fact of the hysterical had wringing letter a disturbing site in harassments and threats. then he doubled down and said i need to protect against violence and threats. he reminds me that he's unequippe

it is like the patriot act, let the nsa do data mining.rrency tom knee president biden wants, she wants all the bank accounts at the federal reserve. that would be invasion of privacy on steroids. they could watch our bank transactions. people are scared about the power grab for control. to your point, democrats like jen psaki, david axelrod, don't look at numbers, don't talk about the numbers of our spending. it is unappealing. your word on that. >> just talking about the concept. liz, we know this is an invasion of privacy. by the way it is incredibly complicated. they're supposed to winnow out only transactions, not wages and salaries but transactions. for example if you move money from one account to another, that will show up as sort of a red flag that will flag you as possibly having income from unauthorized sources that you're not paying taxes on. it will be a false red flag but they're are all kinds of problems with this. i think, look, the other thing is, we know the irs isn't secure. there have been all kinds of data breaches wit

elizabeth: hillary clinton team including now nsa jake sullivan worked hard to get this story out inedia to pick it up, right? there was that as well. we're talking now, 6,000 documents,81,000 pages turned over to michael sussman's team. we're hearing more what went down and it could be worse than realized. your final word? >> think about it, this is all an effort to end up being one of the most powerful men in the planet, the president of the united states. if these abuses are committed against him, this difficult to pull information out of our government, imagine what kind of abuses are happening to normal people at the hands of our government and their lack of ability to find that out. why, for instance the fbi targeting of parents at the school board meetings is so scary. normal people don't have the resources to push back. hopefully this pushback results in real answers and reforms so our government gets back on track. elizabeth: vince collagnese. always great to have you on. okay the border crisis will really ramp up in the coupling weeks. a caravan of thousands recently broke

for years the nsa collected millions of americans' data without first having an individual warrant. james clapper notoriously lied about this program. he's now ordered to pay for the rhetoric on a news outlet. many in the fbi have been accused of bias, many have been convicted, many have been let go. mccabe, strzok, lisa page. it's hard to imagine that somehow we can get people in the fbi that are above bias. it seems to go with the territory. maybe it was a bad spate of time where we had them all at once. i think it's important we realize the potential of bias when we bring an investigation forward, but also incredibly important that we should devolve to at least consider the standard. we have a constitutional standard where we use the fourth amendment, and the fourth amendment says you have to have probable cause of a crime. the fisa court standard is not an amendment. it's less than the constitution. it's probable cause of being associated with a foreign government. the problem is when we have presidential candidates, they're all going to have foreign policy advisors. most of the
