. >>> i want to bring in senator richard burr he's the chairman of the senate intelligence committee. senator burr thank you for joining us this morning. >> jim, good morning. >> i want to ask you because i just returned from paris myself and one thing that struck me is that from this point from u.s. intelligence officials, aqap have been seen primarily as a threat to air travel significant threat concealed explosives primarily to air travel in light of the presumed perceived tie to paris. have the paris attacks demonstrated a new capability for aqap a new ambition frankly? >> well jim, i think the intent was always to carry out multiple means of terrorism from aqap and others. we've got to remember that this is not about an individual it's about an ideology and terrorism is now global. we don't know where it's going to come from. cnn this week broadcast from eight different countries around the world so it's not like we can keep our eye on one thing. and this is a war that we have to win. >> no question. i mean you make the point that terrorism is global as a result the response must

it's something i'm going to press the senate intelligence chairman, richard burr.re going to press him on what steps will the u.s. take and also what is his view of the level of threat today. has it changed after these attacks particularly with regards to aqap. until this point, pam, they've been seen primarily as a threat to air travel. >> and let's talk about that in the wake of what we've seen in paris and belgium. there is an extra emphasis on could this happen here? we know security has been stepped up across the board including in airports. jim, can you give us a sense of how concerned u.s. officials are about national security, about the threat level in the u.s.? >> reporter: well, they're clearly concerned. you and i speak to counter terror officials regularly. to be fair, we should caution our viewers, no one has drawn a direct line, a credible line between the attacks that took place in paris, the operations in belgium being planned there by isis fighters, returning isis fighters, and any specific threat to here in the u.s. that's one thing. that said, th

back with republican senator richard burr. dhs put out a bulletin alerting police all over the country to what they described as sophisticated tactics that are used by terrorists. here's the question are there credible al qaeda in the arabian peninsula plots here in the united states as far as you know right now? >> wolf as far as i know right now, there's not an active plot that we're after. but as paris has proven to us we've been extremely good in the past in europe and in the united states at thwarting attacks that we found in progress. this one slipped there and we've got to reach down through the bureau all the way to the local level and bring local law enforcement in to the process to look if we want to try to catch something like what we saw in paris. >> if this terror group in yemen, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, aqap as it's called if it's now taking responsibility, claiming credit for the massacres in paris, what should the u.s. do about that? i know that the u.s. targets some of these aqap terrorists with dron

joining us tonight is senator richard burr, member of the senate finance committee. mr.man, it's good to have you with us. >> thank you. lou: the call to shared intelligence by european officials, they are carrying out the broadest range of raids against radical islamists in history. what do you make of this? >> we have to enlist our arab friends to stop financing and stop educating children to be terrorists. we have to bring them into this global effort to illuminate radical terrorism. i am convinced that this is about an ideology and it's not about specific individuals. and i have to believe that a muslim family somewhere in the world who is not radicalized is just a scared with sharia law and when they see individuals thrown off a roof or flogged, that they don't see this as normal and i believe that we need our arab friends to speak against this. lou: at the same time you create a paradox for this president and his administration, which maintains that there is no al qaeda was not on the run that the islamic state itself is not islamic, that won't use the phrase radic

i spoke to republican richard burr about the attack and what we know so far. >> this was well planned, well executed and the individuals never intended to be one, caught, or two identified and that's certainly inconsistent with some of the loan wolf attacks we have seen in the country and around the world. >> we're getting reports that these attackers and terrorists in their military style in the way they pulled this off, they also spoke perfect french. we're hearing that foreign fighters are getting trained going from their countries to syria, getting trained and then coming back to carry out attacks, is that a likelihood here. >> it's certainly a possibility and we do know that the french government is reviewing all of their records from the airport from any border crossings, to see if these are individuals that might be french citizens that will radicalize in syria by isil or any of the other groups. but here's the changes for us. is that europe is much more porous than the united states. and i fear that we're in a period of time where this is going to become more a weekly event, m

>> well the new chair of the intel committee republican senator richard burr hinting the attorney generale enough evidence to make a case. >> i reference back to the president's remarks when he announced general petraeus' resignation where he said, this did not reach a level that put national security in jeopardy. and i think the statute of the law says it has to reach that for there to be a prosecution. >> let's find out. lis wiehl is a fox news legal analyst and my guest. is he right, it was the president who said that he didn't think there was enough evidence to have breached national security? >> that's exactly right. two statutes under title 19, they both say for the prosecution to go ahead, they have to show -- they have to prove as part of their case that he jeopardized national security in sending this information over. the biggest burden, the biggest hurdle for the prosecution if they go ahead with this is going to be president obama's own words saying it didn't jeopardize national security. >> interesting. so the department of justice, to me seems to have a lot of time to be inv

richard burr kaiser, a writer at national review, published his biography of lincoln, "founders son."that is where my book leaves off, that there is an ambivalently positive view of lincoln on the left. i am not sure how influential the left is in america, to tell you the truth. i think there is this argument going on within the family of conservatism -- i know that some libertarians would dispute the they were conservatives, and fair enough, but ron paul did run as a republican, right? he did. pat buchanan, a lincoln critic ran as a republican in the 1990's. it is there. what i would like to do to close this evening, and thank you for your patience, is read to you from the book. i think if we loathe lincoln in some essential ways, we loathe our country. we lose something essential about ourselves. we squander a part of our democratic inheritance if we do not realize the cost that came with achieving a greater democratic inheritance. americans need to remind themselves that lincoln's principled stand against the injustice of slavery and slaveholders advocacy for perpetuation and all f

north carolina senator richard burr says he expected an unbelievable amount of data from europe the next weeks and months that could protect people here. and in europe tight security remains in place across france and belgium as thousands of police and soldiers are keeping watch over possible terror targets and people there are turning their attention to possible changes in anti-terrorism laws across europe. >> the tv shows here are filled with debates about how to tweet terror legislation. and how france should move forward in the wake of the attacks here an also with the threat level being elevated how to keep france free but safe. in belgium, they are talking about tougher legislation as they continue to hunt for the leader of the cell that was planning a major terror attack on police and police headquarters. meanwhile, the week has seen dozens of terror suspects rounded up across europe and italy admitted it expelled nine suspected jihadists last month. the french president's approval rating has gone up 10% for the handling of the situation. the publication of "charlie hebdo" has eng

general eric holder and the new chair of the senate intelligence committee, north carolina senator richard burr a new warning about phone calls saying you owe money to the irs. people in pittsburgh report getting calls from a 202 area code. the caller says they work for the fbi and you are unpaid packs taxes. michael finney has reported on these types. calls in the past. police say do not give out any personal information, just hang out. the irs sends out officials notices in the mail to people to people who actually owe money. >> two men are free climbing a vertical walk space and they have now cleared one of the most difficult stretches after two days of failed attempts and waiting. abc7 news reporter katie marzullo has the story. >> it's getting pretty rowdy. >> a glimpse into life on the mountain. >> there's this crazy arctic windstorm happening. >> 30 year old kevin of santa rosa made a major move reaching a razor harp hold that had eluded him. he's one of two climbers who has attempted to reach the 3,000-foot summit from the vertical dawn wall. the men are relying only on their strength a

. >> i'm joined by richard burr thank you very much for being with us. >> good afternoon. >> i know you'vehat is the latest concern or the level of concern about attacks here in the homeland? >> andrea i think like any international incident of this type we're continuing to take information that we learned from the french and others and we're continuing to run that through our data bases, be it electronic or be it human sources, so that we can get more texture of what happened. and more importantly, this is important for the american people, our intelligence community is charged with trying to connect those dots and project if there may be additional threats here at home. the threat warning is high today because we've seen an international incident because we've seen reposted the isil threats. i don't know -- i have not -- i'm not privy to any specific plot but we continue to follow individuals around this country that we don't know the degree of concern we should have. but they are watched very closely. >> how concerned should we be that these individuals had been tracked in the past? one

richard burr from north carolina. thank you, sir. what he said in addition, martha we know terrorists based in syria harbor ambitions towards the u.k. trying to direct attacks against our country and ex-sorting extremists to act independently. for the brits this is a wake-up call. in france that may be coming there next. martha: we don't know if this group was inspired by or directed by a group in yemen. there were reports from the original scene in "charlie hebdo," there was discussion, if anybody wants to know where we're from, we are aqap al qaeda in pakistan. and you know we're still waiting, there was a report from a isis imam religious leader who said this morning they were taking credit for this. you have to be a little bit wary drawing any conclusions from this. one thing we do know, these groups are in competition for headlines. that is a scary prospect in many ways as well. greg palkot joins us live from paris with more on this. greg has been watching all of this unfold. it has been an unbelievable 24 hours. no doubt the to

senator richard burr has indicated he will return a secret cia internal report known as the panetta reviewhich found the agency inflated the importance of information gained through torture. the commanding u.s. navy officer in charge of the naval base at guantanamo bay has been fired due to a "loss of confidence in his ability to command." unnamed officials told the ap the commander, captain john r. nettleton, is under investigation in connection with the mysterious death of a man whose wife nettleton was having an affair with. and the new york times is reporting new york state assembly speaker sheldon silver be arrested today on charges of corruption. silver has been speaker for over 20 years. and those are some of the headlines, this is democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with nermeen shaikh. >> welcome to all our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. after a seven-year legal battle, the diary of a prisoner held at guantanamo bay has just been published and has become a surprise bestseller. the diary was written by moha

i was speaking to senator richard burr. he's the new republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee this weekend and he made the point that you know in this battle against groups such as isis and aqap ideology is arguably as important as military action and saudi arabia while it's a military partner, feeds he says, the extremism. it helps fund the madroses around the region that create the jihadis. on a week when you have the attacks in paris you had the saudiing flogging a blogger, 1,000 lashes for beginning a debate online about extremism within the kingdom. so you have this contradiction there. that's something that u.s. and western officials have wanted saudi arabia to address. on the military side saudi arabia has been a great partner of the u.s. i think while you do have change there in the leadership, you do have consistency, now king salaman, the new crown prince consistency ideologically. becky made a good point of lining up the next heir. someone who has been key in the fight against al qaeda, that's a s

according to senate intel chief richard burr who spoke to cnn's jake tapper. >> i think it's likely thereen some u.s. connections that were made or maybe it's individuals we know about, maybe it's individuals we don't know about. the reality is we've got to triage all of that information. >> reporter: even if no connections are found, u.s. law enforcement officials are concerned an extremist on the verge of acting out will use paris as a catalyst to wreak havoc in the u.s. overnight, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula released a video claiming deceased american anwar al awlaki was the mastermind of the paris attack. while u.s. officials authenticated the video, they are still trying to determine how involved the terrorist group was with planning and directing the attack. u.s. officials believe cherif kouachi used his brother's passport to gain entry into yemen in 2011 to train with aqap but investigators are scrambling to figure out what kouachi did once he returned to france and whether he maintained contact with the terrorist group. >> we continue to have gaps in intelligence. we continu

we want to bring in the chair of the senate intelligence committee, richard burr.nk you for joining us. you've heard the french ambassador. you've heard the attorney general and our experts here right now. from your perch as chair of the senate intelligence committee, what's the most important threat you're seeing coming in right now? >> well, george, i think that the thing that worries me the most right now is the buzz on social media, whether it comes from a specific group like isis or whether it's just on the chat rooms, the target is to just go out and kill law enforcement and other officials, and i think as some of your guests have displayed, especially ray kelly, that's a very difficult thing to detect, and i think that we're going to be spending weeks and months taking some of what we've learned from this attack in france and tracking down leads that hopefully get us in front of a terrorist act and we're able to thwart it whether it's in europe or whether it's here in the united states. >> you've actually warned that you're worried these attacks in europe co

and i was a senator back in 2005, i worked with a republican senator, richard burr, and a bill supporting precision medicine. senator bill cassidy who also happened to be a gastro -- recently called the medicine and incredible area of promise. that is why the budget i sent to congress on monday will include a new precision medicine initiative that brings america closer to carry diseases like cancer and diabetes and gives access to the personalized information we need to keep ourselves and our families healthy. let me just outlined the facets of this. you will work with the national cancer institute. we want to find the genetic factors that could lead to cancer. use that knowledge to develop effective approaches to help people beat this disease. second, we will work with fda, develop new approaches for genetic tests. the way we approve a new gene sequencing technology is going to be different and the way we approve a new pacemaker or a static device. we need to make sure our approach reflect the differences in technology. third, we are going to work with the national institutes of health t

when i was a senator back in 2005, i worked with a republican senator richard burr on a bill supporting precision medicine. newly elected republican senator bill cassidy who also happens to be a gastro anterologist recently called precision medicine, an incredible area of promise. and that's why the budget i sent this congress on monday will include a new precision medicine initiative that brings america closer to curing diseases like cancer and die abeeabeat, diabetes and gives us the access that all of us need to keep our families helpier. first we will work with the national cancer institute. we want to find the genetic factor that's can lead to cancer and we want to use that knowledge to develop new and more active approaches to help people beat this disease. second, we're going to work with the fda to develop new approaches for evaluating next generation genetic tests. the way we approve a new gene sequencing technology is going to be different than the way we approve a new pacemaker or prosthetic device. we need to make sure that our approach reflects the differences in technology

senator richard burr suggests that the material largely coming from the exploitation of electronics will of contacts to pursue and on "fox news sunday," another senior senator who oversees homeland security says possible operatives in the u.s. need to have a second look. >> i'm not aware of any specific cells, any sleeper cells but when you see what's happening in europe and seeing how widespread that is from france to belgium, to germany, i think you have to assume that is certainly a risk that we do have to consider. >> reporter: yemeni government officials this morning that two french nationals were arrested in the country on suspicion of meeting with al qaeda. we were first to report on fox news that the apparent link to the paris attacker said kouachi and al qaeda in yemen. >> catherine, thank you very much. bill: this is brand new video out of yemen. shiite rebels battling with soldiers near the presidential palace in the country's capital city of sanaa. rebel fighters seizing control of the state-run media some are calling a a coup. many detainees at gitmo call yemen home. martha:

very glad today to be joined by north carolina senator richard burr chairman of the senate intelligence the world that we're living in. senator, good to have you with us today, welcome. >> thank you, martha. good to be with you. martha: so we did hear the president say that the other night, he said we're stopping the advance of isil. he did not spend a lot of time talking about this issue and now we are learning they're creeping into yemen as well. what's your take on it? >> well, martha, let me remind your listeners the president also went through a state of the union address and didn't mention the word al-qaeda. and probably largely because even a week before that attorney general holder still said al-qaeda's been decimated. what we're finding is al-qaeda is alive and well. we call it different names in different regions but its reach is global. and and now all of a sudden we hear of an expansion of isis. you know the reports are probably true. i can't confirm them. but it's likely that isis would be in yemen to try to tap into the recruiting people from north africa disenfran choosed

. >> the senators you just heard from richard burr and die abfine tine are the top members in the senate intelligence committee. they are not alone among influential voices calling for the justice debt to stand down. some said these leaks are detrimental and think the federal government should move on. there is a counter point to that. some say that john petraeus shouldn't be let off the hook just because of his high standing. >> what about paula broadwell the woman in this case? could she face charges, as well? >> well, she's a major in the army reserve and a former army intelligence officer. she has not been charged del but federal agents did find these classified documents on her computer in 2012, leading to the unraveling of general petraeus' career approximate eric holder said this weekend that news reports these leaks are often inaccurate and this is significant, because everyone's been watching and waiting to see just what he will do. some indication there some push back that leaks of what's to come may not be entirely clear. >> libby casey live in washington, thank you very much.

richard burr is here elected the new chair of the senate intelligence committee.e, based on everything you know i know you've been well briefed r the french authorities to capturing these three terrorists? >> clearly, they know the individuals. they know them by name. and i'm not sure where they are operationally right now. but i think it's important that you stop and think that there may be more people tied to this. >> beyond the three. >> the operation that might be going on in france right now is the result of having learned the names of the individuals. they may have had individuals under surveillance that might be connected to these. that might be the operation. we're not exactly sure, but as secretary johnson said over the next hours and certainly by tomorrow we're going to know a lot more but clearly, this was a very well orchestrated terrorist attack. >> so it wasn't just three lone wolves operating on their own, inspired by some al qaeda magazine to kill these individuals, this was a coordinated terror strike that was affiliated with a specific terror gro

effective no one has worked harder and no one has had more foresight and vision on these issues than richard burr, the senator from north carolina. the report today is substantially his work product and he'll be deeply involved in the next year as we work with senator murray our democratic friends and with president obama to try to bring this to a result. in 2013, dr. francis collins director of the national institutes of health wrote the following -- quote -- "drugs exist for only about 250 of the more than 4,400 conditions with defined molecular causes and it takes far too long," dr. collins said "and far too much money to get a new drug into our medicine cabinets. this is an old problem that cries out for new and creative solutions." since dr. collins said that, the number of conditions with defined molecular causes has increased now to about 5,390. yet the number of new drugs approved has not kept pace with these discoveries. the president of the united states has recognized this. in his state of the union message a few days ago president obama said this. "21st century businesses will rely on

ayotte and its cosponsors include the chairman of the armed services committee john mccain and richard burr as well as the senators preeminent expert on military law, lindsey graham. i'm honored to add my name to the list of senators who have cosponsored stage thing. the effect of this legislation is to preserve the ability of the united states to detain in our faults at guantanamo bay members of al qaeda and the taliban. the organizations responsible for the terrorist acts of september 11 2001. so why is keeping guantanamo open so important? simply put mr. president guantanamo affords our military a safe and secure location to detain those individuals held under the law of war or for violations of the law of war. if an enemy combatant is captured that individual can be held under the law of war. there is a generally accepted legal principle affirmed repeatedly by the supreme court that enemy combatants can be held at least until the conflict is concluded. if an individual is held for a violation of the laws of war that means they are detained until they can be prosecuted for a war crime th

in september, richard petty perez was killed by police when they say he tried to grab an officer's gun. the family's attorney john burrr-old had his arms up and said don't shoot before the fatal shots were fired. >>> this is not an appropriate forum because dr. king talked about police brutality and it is entirely appropriate that this day, this period of time that we are also talking about this issue. we have a lot of -- there has been a lot of conversation about black lives matter. i will have to tell you that all lives matter. >>> the family hopes that the tragedy can result in better community police practices and relations and the incident was the first use of deadly force by richmond police since 2007. >>> new information on friday's fatal officer-involved shooting in fremont. take a look at video from our helicopter partnership with abc 7 news. the alameda county coroner's office has yet to release the name of the sole suspect kill. but police are uncovering some of the details of the moments that led up to the deadly uncounter. >> two contractors, a 54-year- old and a 20-year-old business partner pulled up to

committee richard burke told jay tapper that he believes it is possible that the kouachi brothers did have contacts in the united states. do you think that that's right? >> well senator burr that conducted the "charlie hebdo" massacre and americans but also with the terrorists in al qaeda and yemp men who just this morning claimed responsibility for these attacks. just as they were responsible for the christmas bomber five years ago. those kinds of attacks on american soil are likely if we don't get back on offense all around the world against islamist terrorists. >> are you saying it's time to send u.s. troops into yemen? >> we just sent u.s. troops into yemen into december to conduct a hostage rescue that unfortunately didn't work. we have to be willing to send troops or drones or any other national power to kill terrorists or capture them wherever they are if they pose a threat to american citizens and our interests around the world. >> senator tom cotton thank you so much for joining us with your perspective on new day. >> alisyn there is a new isis propaganda video showing a child killing two men. why is isis using kids to kill. and "charlie hebdo's" issue now releas
