the c.i.a. without concerns as to whether there is the integrity of the institution , without concerns as to whether he might step across the legal line of what's appropriate, that every day that he's there in fact following the rule of law in this country and whose primary focus it is is to make sure that we as policy-makers, the president as commander in chief has the best intelligence possible to make decisions about america's future and about america's security. so i hope it won't take six hours today, but we're in the first hour of that, and i would urge my colleagues be brief but be thorough, but at the end of the day make sure that the c.i.a. tomorrow morning has permanent leadership and not acting leadership. and with that, i would yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from louisiana. mr. cassidy: i have the privilege to introduce a replacement for obamacare. it has been her experience as an insurance commission and mine as a fission caring for the

the world. >>> i'm so behind you. president trump visits c.i.a. headquarters after weeks of disparaging the u.s. intelligence community. at one point accusing it of leaking information about him. and in a rambling speech, he bashes and blames the news media. what impact will his words have? >>> making changes, the trump administration hits the ground running. issuing new orders and taking action on multiple fronts. the justice department is now seeking a delay in a controversial case, does it signal a policy change on voting rights? we want to welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> we're following breaking news, huge demonstrations here in washington. and in cities across the country and around the world. all sending a message to the new president of the united states. the so-called women's march is drawing massive crowds. protesting president trump's agenda and paralyzing the heart of the nation's capital. the scene in washington is being repea

>> the professionals at the c.i.a. very much looking forward to having the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise, their capabilities to the incoming administration. president-elect, vice president-elect, and others. every time there's a transition, the c.i.a. recognizes that it has a special responsibility and obligation to make sure those who have our national security in their hands are going to be as best informed and enlightened as possible about the complexities of world events. i know there have been a lot of things in the media and the press. and i've told our folks, just focus on your work and look forward to the opportunity to breast incoming team." so nothing is soured at this point. and i really do believe that officers are ready and looking forward to this opportunity. >> woodruff: a few other important parts of the world i want to ask you about. north korea, over the weekend, its leader kim jong-un said its country is, "finalizing preparations of a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile"

trump, president trump's appearance at the c.i.a.? think he, the fact that it was his first major appearance after giving his inauguration address, i think it was significant. there has been some criticism he has given towards the intelligence community with regard to the russian hacking and what so forth. it was important for him to go there and say, i am 100% behind you. no one have your back more than the trump administration and that was important to hear. and judging from their response, it was very well received. i think it was important. but you also have to keep in mind, this is donald trump. it was his first opportunity to really address the media after there was some reports about the crowd size. and this was his opportunity to address those. but i think more than anything after this weekend, i think we had a tremendous event, we had, there's great enthusiasm within the crowd. people realize the power has been returned to the people. but the biggest take-away is the grace and dignity of the obamas and the peaceful transfer o

you have the c.i.a. director, pompeo that didn't go exactly where trump has said he is on russia hacking and things like that. so you're seeing some air in between where trump is and where some of the cabinet appointees are. >> shepard: a lot of air between what pompeo said. pompeo said we need to find out what happened if russian is attempting to meddle in our elections, we need to know about it so our leaders can decide to take what actions. trump hasn't been there at all. >> no. that's what's interesting to see. if trump is here and his cabinet is here, what does that mean for international policy? we don't know yet. that is one of the big concerns that you're having we're hearing every day. >> shepard: this is the same man that tried to delegitimize the first black president by saying he wasn't born here. and now he's saying, i wonder if he leaked the fake news, which is a word that he's repositioned and using in a different way now. is there any adult in washington that can go and say, you're killing

the first stop he made was to the c.i.a. because of how much he values the work they do and respect he has for them. i don't know how much more he can show how much he values them. reporter: when you talk about the seven countries, the muslim-majority countries, talking to a former official in the obama administration in homeland security, they are saying that what you are doing is very different than what they did and much more restrictive, what do you say to that? mr. spicer: we are going to put the safety of america first. the president is going to be proactive. we aren't going to wait to make sure it doesn't happen again. he will do everything in his power to stop every threat we face in this country and every potential threat. and that's the key point in this. how do we get ahead of threats and how do we keep america ahead of the curve from people who want to do us harm. he has made sure every way possible we get down the path of securing this country and putting america's safety and security first, bar none. major garre

the consequence is i don't have a lot of favorite in the old guard at the c.i.a. have huge faith in mr. pompeo. i don't know senator coats but i am told he's good on the intel community. >> rose: john mccain is good. i'm high on general mattis. i only met him once but knew his former chief of staff. i know general mcchrystal. i'm sorry he's not in this administration. if there's one guy i would recruit is stanley mcchrystal. >> rose: how about david petraeus. >> yes. there is a ministry of all talents. the one thing i don't think the campaign allowed to develop is a sense of urgency around the world represented by the near peer status of the people eats republic to china and their insurgence into the south china sea and the spread of islamic terrorism. putin doesn't worry the way those two. >> rose: china is a strong -- dr. kissinger's book, the tigers and capitalists, and if the tigers get control we're in for a rocky eight years. >> rose: who are the tigers there. they seem to argue primarily the military. >> that's what dr. kissinger argued. i listen to him. >>

president, i can assure you that in the years ahead, the c.i.a. along with the rest of the intelligence community will do everything we can to provide was the insights you need to protect our country, to advance american interests around the globe and to carry out your duties as president. i'm confident you will find that the women and men who comprise the intelligence community are dedicated public servants. with incredible expertise professionalism, diversity and integrity to the national security mission. we were only able to accommodate 400 c.i.a. employees for today's event but hundreds more hundreds more wanted to come. on behalf of the women and men of c.i.a., thank you for taking time to join us. it means a great deal, that you chose to come to c.i.a. on your first full day as president. mrauz [applause] >> and now it's my pleasure and privilege to introduce the vice president of the united vice president pence: thank you and thank you for 267 years of serving america with the c.i.a. [applause] vice president pence: it's a great privilege f

that's the one issue i would have with jim. at c.i.a. i haven't gotten to know mike pompeii owe we vel in the last month. >> rose: you have. >> i have. i only knew make before from our dealings, our relationship when i was the deposittity director acting director and he was on the house intelligence committee. those were not great interactions because they were over benghazi. so i saw him in that light. i saw hip as very partisan. i saw him as political. i saw him as attacking the agency and me. but he reached out to me after he was nominated and we've had a number of very good conversations. >> rose: what did you tell him about the c.i.a. >> first thing i told him is that the men and women of the cia are the most dedicated and committed people that he will ever run into. and that they will follow him anywhere. and that they care about one thing and one thing only and that's keeping the country safe. and that he was being handed a national treasure. and i told him that his ultimate responsibility is when he walks out the door at whatever

trump's picks to lead the c.i.a. and department of defense shed light on where the new administration stands on a number of other fronts. margaret warner has the story. >> i for one, could not be happier. >> warner: retired general mattis was clearly in friendly territory before the senate armed services committee. >> allies and partners make vast territorial claims with no basis in law, carve out spheres of influence. >> i would say what we've got to do is maintain a very strong military so our diplomats are always engaging from a position of strength and we deal with a rising power. >> on syria and efforts to retake the islamic state stronghold there. >> do you believe we have a strategy that will allow us to regain control of raqqa? >> i believe we do, sir, however, i believe that strategy needs to be reviewed and perhaps energized on a more aggressive time line. >> warner: and on a long-contentious topic, mattis opposition post-retirement to letting women serve in combat roles as they do today. >> do you plan to o

michael, so president trump visited the c.i.a. y, and he was very complimentary, but as we know, through most of the trapsition, he's basically derided the agency. so how does that relationship move forward, and what should we be looking for-- looking at as it moves forward? >> well, i think as trump himself said at the c.i.a. today, he's going to have his own director coming in. his nominee is mike pompeo, who is a republican congressman. now, democrats are putting up a little more of a fight than had been expected a couple of days ago. it's not guaranteed that pompeo is going to go through. but i think the trump team's view is that the heads of the intelligence communities at the top levels were obama appointees, and at the c.i.a., you have john brennan, who has already resigned, and also, likewise, the director of national intelligence, jim clapper, has also reviend. and i think there was, you know, not a good relationship between trump and either of those men. so he's going to have pompeo coming in at the c.i.a., and probably f

intelligence agencies, including the c.i.a. as part of that effort, mr. p reportedly had considered eliminating the director of national intelligence position. it was created after the 9/11 commission found agencies like ehe n.s.a. and c.i.a. were not d aring information that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. former new jersey governor tom kean co-chaired the commission. >> without the d.n.i., we are much less safe in the united states. and we can't be that. en need to be safer, not less safe. >> reporter: but kean said the position should have more authority than it was given by tiesident obama. >> i think it's an inefficient organization. s> reporter: admiral dennis blair was president obama's first director of national intelligence. he was forced to resign in the wake of a power struggle with the c.i.a. you believe that the office liould actually be stronger, not disbanded. >> yes, i think it should be stronger. when it comes to matters of life and death, lives on the line, ngportant information, you have t have accountability, and you need to have

he was forced to resign in the wakeave power struggle with the c.i.a. you believe that the office should actually be stronger, not disbanded. >> yi think it should be stronger. when it comes to matters of life and death, lives on the line, important information, you have to have accountability, and you need to have somebody in charge, somebody who is making the calls on what's important and who has responsibility. >> reporter: now, mr. trump's selection of coats suggests that he may agree. separately, josh, the president-elect got some advice today from vice president biden. asked about mr. trump's tweeting, biden said, "grow up. time to be an adult." >> elliott: and off go the gloves again. jan crawford in washington, jan, thank you. those tweets include criticism of u.s. intelligence agencies. more below that now from homeland security correspondent jeff pegues. jeff. >> reporter: josh, top intelligence officials believe the president-elect's critical tweets and public statements are having an impact on the workforce. the director of national intellige

>> again, that is something for others, not the c.i.a. irector to address. >> woodruff: so i ask because people are pointing out the fact that there are buildings with trump on them, the trump label on them, loarkted all over the world. are those buildings now a target because donald trump is the next president? >> well, i think there are a lot of identifiers of the united states and the u.s. government, some that are very iconic, and the i think the trump name is something that is associated more and more today because he's been elected our president that identifies with the united states. , the united states government. it's one of the things i think those responsible for security of those facilities, as well as for the systems and networks, need to take into account that in this day and age where there are so many ways to damage buildings, infrastructure,"systems and networks, they need on put in place the appropriate safeguards to protect themselveses from these types of attacks, whether they be kinetic attacks or cyber attacks. >> woo

>> so the real issue what is law is now. i would expect that c.i.a. d all entities and military and the president would honor the law on how we handle torture. the army field manual has a strict set of guidelines to do interrogation to uphold our american values. that's the law of the land and anticipate that would continue to be upheld. as mike pompeo said, who i think will be, by the way, a tremendous leader for the c.i.a. >> martha: thank you. i want to add in before we go donald trump has said with regard to the differences of opinion here that we're hearing in these hearings that he wants them, these cabinet members to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not his. that is worth laying down there as well today. senator, thank you very much. good to see you, sir. >> bill: now we're learning the director of the f.b.i. is under the microscope on what critics called a politically-motivated investigation. what's it all about? we'll talk to jason chaffetz to get his take. >> martha: could be the beginning of the end for obamacare. the house star

his boss talked about the numbers at the c.i.a. a couple hours earlier what spicer was using saturday is figures that he said he got from the metro, which is the subway system in washington d.c. saying the metro reported 420,000 riders in 2017 compared to 317,000 riders in 2013. he was comparing 2017 to 2013, not 2009. the numbers according to the post were much higher in 2013. it was 570,000 riders. in 2017 for donald trump's inauguration, 782,000 for president obama. as you said, shep, those area photographs taken exactly the same time january 2009 and january 2017 seem to indicate there was a much larger crowd nor president obama's inauguration than for trump's. but john spicer from the podium here a short time ago said even though the numbers appear to be wrong that he gave us saturday, he will endeavor to do his best to tell the truth when he comes out to the podium. >> we have to be honest with the american people. sometimes we can disagree with the facts. there's certain things that we may not fully understand when we come ou

you know what the c.i.a. and f.b.i.s for him. he's like little child. they should make a production for him. it's c.i.a. news! today the great donald trump needs to know how to fight i.s.i.s.! donald trump will be like, yay! that's me! i'm on the news! i.s.i.s. bad! donald trump good! yay! ( applause ) it's his own reality! he only accepts that news. so we learned brump only acknowledges the media that praises him and also only acknowledges the citizens who voted for him. >> many of these people were the forgotten men and women, and they loved what we had to say. part of my whole victory was that the men and women of this country who have been forgotten will never be forgotten again. the forgotten men and women. they're not forgotten anybody more because they came out and voted. >> trevor: i keep a little note on my fridge. it says don't forget to never forget the men and women we forget, we never forget that way i never forget what i just forgot about. ( applause ) what does that mean? here's another way president trum

to answer the former national security adviser's tweet, the c.i.a. was in ours and wasn't in theirs. with respect to over the -- moving on to, the president signed another memo when he was at the department of defense instructing the joint chiefs of staff to deliver a plan to defeat isis. it must include a recommendation to changes of any rules of engagement and other policy restrictions that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of isis, public diplomacy, information operations and cyber strategies to isolate and delegitimize isis, identification of new coalition partners in the fight against isis and policies to fight isis and its affiliates, mechanisms to cut off support including financial transfers, money laundering, the sales of art, historical facts and a detailed strategy to rebusly fund the plan. this memorandum is a profound statement that the president's clear objective is to destroy and defeat isis. this is not only a necessary step for america's national security but a humanitarian imperative. if isis is left in p

saturday he used his first visit to the c.i.a. to boast about his victory and complain about what he called "a running war with the media." margaret brennan has this busy day at the white house. >> all right. we're going to sign three memorandums right now. >> reporter: with the stroke of his pen, donald trump took three executive actions, reinstating a reagan era band on sending foreign aid to any overseas group that supports abortion rights, ordering a federal hiring freeze, except within the military, and withdrawing the u.s. from a free trade deal with 11 asia pacific countries. >> great thing for the american worker what we just did. >> reporter: mr. trump said he'd instead negotiate with countries one on one and told a gathering of c.e.o.s that he'd reduce regulations and cut taxes, but punish them for shipping jobs overseas. >> if that happens, we are going to be imposing a very major border tax on the product when it comes in, which i think is fair. >> i believe that we have to be honest with the american people. >> reporte

we'll look at the c.i.a.'s new boss, mike pompeo. is plans for syria, isis and others. it's not just a car... it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. all finished.umm... you wouldn't want your painter to quit part way. i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. painter: you want this color over the whole house? >> i'm lea gabriel with the fox report. italian police say six people have died in a helicopter crash, the same region that a deadly avalanche hit last week. witnesses said it was cloudy when the helicopter went down. the city of paris rolling out its first driverless buses to the public. for now they carry up to ten passengers in the french capitol. they have a dedicated lane in which to drive. and a chicago police officer caught on video tossing a cup of coffee at a guy on a motorcycle. the video going viral. the biker admitted his and his buddies were noisy. the chicago polic

getting back to saturday at the c.i.a. and your statement here at the podium, why make this crowd size issue something to talk about at all? why get into it? did it bother the president that much that he felt that you needed to come out here and straighten that out for us? and why did he choose the c.i.a. as the venue to talk about that? >> so two things. one, all of the people were not -- no one in the front row was trump. they were all c.i.a. >> front row. >> that's what you asked. >> i said first three rows. >> okay. i'll find out who the other two were. i'm sorry. i just got you the front row. we're going to get to the fourth and fifth? okay. let me see what i can do. look, i think one of the things that happened, jim, was that he kept hearing about this rift that existed. he talked about it a couple weeks ago, after his briefing, how proud he is and how much he respects the intelligence community. and i think when he walked into that and he saw it, he wanted to make sure that people knew that what you are hearing on te

by having him confirmed as director of the c.i.a. think he will do more than anything to reestablish faith between the intelligence community and donald trump. also having senator dan coates as the director of national intelligence is also a real show of support. these are solid pro-intelligence community officials who are going to be heading up those agencies. this is -- no doubt it will a close working relationship and john brennan is making this much too political. he is the one who is hurting the image of the c.i.a. by attacking the president-elect. that's not his job. >> shannon: you mentioned a number of the nominees up for various national security and intelligence community. some have had hearings and some haven't. do you have confidence they will be confirmed? >> i hope so. i know a number of them. i think they should be confirmed. also let me say with the c.i.a. barack obama came to office who was actually attempting to indict members of the c.i.a. for what they did post 9/11 even though they were under a legal authority to

after the c.i.a., he gave an abc interview where he talked about the standing ovation that the c.i.a.e longest ever since peyton manning. first of all, the employees couldn't sit down because he didn't tell them. of course it's a standing ovation. they can't sit down. but then the way he went on and on, that was a home run, and, i mean, it's weird. >> which leads, mark, back to, i think again, what both of you were talking about, and that's this question of facts or what do they call them, alternate facts. are we going to continue to debate this kind of thing for the duration of the first year or the rest of his presidency? >> yes, we are, judy. i'll tell you why, because steve bannon, the president's senior counselor, chief strategist said something this week that's absolutely true, h he said there is no opposition party. the democrats lost 958 slaifts seats during barack obama's eight years. the democrats went into the election of 2016 holding control of seven states with governorship and both sides of the legislature. today, as we sit here, connecticut, rhode island, oregon, califo

other indications mike pompeo will be confirmed to be the next c.i.a. ctor and we expect that vote for tillerson in the foreign relations committee. >> bill: we'll wait for that. >> shannon: joining us now for more on that and other things steve hayes is a fox news contributor. good to see you, steve. you have an incredible back story you've written about about why representative pompeo did not get that vote that many expected he would to become the c.i.a. director on day one. it is a fascinating read. >> thanks. we just posted this at the weekly standard.com. the story starts before any confirmation hearings were held when there were a series of discussions between republican leaders, mitch mcconnell, senate intelligence committee chairman richard burr and vice president mike pence with chuck schumer in the senate. what these republicans have said and other sources have said was that schumer reached an agreement where if republicans agreed to push back pompeo's confirmation one day so that it didn't fall on a day when there were five other confirmation

me a pack of cigarettes and a couple beers and i do better than that with torture. >> reporter: the c.i.as promised to abide by a law that limits interrogation techniques to those outline in the u.s. army field manual. >> there is no doubt in my mind about the limitations it places on the d.o.d. and the central intelligence agencies. i'll always comply with the law. >> reporter: but in a written statement he said he would consider seeking a change to the law if experts told him it restricted the c.i.a.'s ability to gather vital intelligence. any change to the law would have to pass senate armed services chairman john mccain, and today he issued a statement vowling, "we are not bringing back or the chu in the united states of america." scott? >> pelley: david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. well, the president's false belief in widespread illegal voting may soon cost real money. today he said, "i will be asking for a major investigation." mr. trump says as many as five million illegal ballots were cast for hillary clinton, which is how he explains her 2.8 million lead in

. >> unless they're all lying to us, the heads of the intelligence agencies, the c.i.a., the national intelligence, unless they're lying to us, tomorrow we'll get a report showing russians did this. to hear the head of intelligence say i'm 100% sure, that's rare. they see we're pretty sure or -- this time he says i'm positive. so if tomorrow it is clear to everyone in the world this is what happened is there room for donald trump to back this up? i've never heard him say, i was wrong. it's going to have to be something less than that, right? >> very little room based on the intelligence being presented. we heard the white house press secretary saying the high level of confidence, which is essentially the highest that you get for the intelligence community saying this is what we know and this is what we think happened here. not a lot of room for trump to question that unless he has his own facts that he wants to bring to bear. >> josh letterman from the white house, associated easy. thank you. >> thanks. >> ahead we're going to donald trump where the president-elect has a it is-down fo

office in anchorage, alaska, claiming that his mind was being controlled by the c.i.a. and the u.s. government, and that he was being forced to watch isis videos. anchorage police in a follow-up to that f.b.i. encounter later sent santiago to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. santiago also has a long military history. he deployed to iraq it in 2010 and was a member of the alaska army national guard, scott, until august of last year, when he was discharged for unsatisfactory performance. >> pelley: josh elliot covering the story all afternoon. josh, thank you very much. we spoke earlier today with a witness to the shooting, mike starobinsky. he and his family were returning from a cruise. >> pelley: there was nothing to stop the shooter from doing what he did. our transportation correspondent kris van cleave has the latest on gaps in airport security 15 years after 9/11. >> reporter: investigators believe the gun used in the baggage claim shooting was checked as luggage, something the t.s.a. allows but requires the gun to be unloded and locked in a case. it and ammunition must b

hat and why did he choose the c.i.a. venue to talk about that? >> so two things. one, all of the people were no one in the front row was trump. c.i.a.re all >> front row. >> that's what you asked. >> i said first three rows. >> okay. i'll find out who the other two were. i'm sorry. i just got you the front row. we're going to get to the fourth and fifth? okay. let me see what i can do. look, i think one of the things happened, jim, was that he kept hearing about this rift that existed. about it a couple weeks ago, after his briefing, how proud he is and how much he the intelligence community. and i think when he walked into it, he wanted to make sure that people knew that what you're hearing in or in reports about this rift, i have the utmost respect for you. service.our i'm proud of what you're doing and the sacrifices you're making. and i think he wanted them to hear all you see and this stuff on t.v. about this exists.t is so-called, clearly it doesn't matter, like don't believe what you're hearing, know i have a amount of respect for you. i appreciate everythin

it is not just going to be the c.i.a. t you'll see a lot of activity throughout not just the first week, the first month and the first year of making that a priority to thank so many of the people who serve our government and again not just federal servants but so many people who volunteer their time in various ways to serve this nation both paid and unpaid. >> does he feel there needs to be some fence mending with the intelligence community? >> i think he has very clear the statement he put out the friday he got the briefing he respects the work and diligence of the intelligence community. the men and women who so often serve in the intelligence community without recognition because of the nature of the work they do is something that he has a true understanding of the sacrifice they make. and so he has been very, very clear that while he may have differences sometimes with the leadership of the intelligence community, that the work of the individuals, the men and women who tirelessly support the analysis and readings of t

michael morell spent his career at the c.i.a. and rose to the number-two job there. he endorsed hillary clinton during the campaign. michael, let me show you something that the president's press secretary said today. >> we're going to put the safety of americans first. we're not going to wait and react, as i said in a statement. the president is going to be very proactive with protecting this country. we're not going to wait until we tot attacked and figure out how >> pelley: so based on your experience, does the travel ban make america safer? >> scott, it doesn't make us safer. in fact, it makes us less safe. not only was the vetting of individuals from these countries already extensive, but the downsides of the ban are significant. they range from the fact that this will be a recruiting boon for isis. it plays right into their narrative that america is at war with islam. they'll get recruits out of this. second, the countries who are targeted here are going to be angry with us. we need them to be our partners. and third, the specific individuals in those countries

the time that the c.i.a. went hollywood 37 years ago today. breaking news changes everything on fox news channel. "your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: thanks very much. welcome to "your world." we're at the pentagon. james mattis has already been sworn in as defense secretary of the united states but the president wanted to do the honors and see this carried out in a big way with the big boss there to witness it. so when that happens, we're there. meantime, to blake burman on a very busy white house at what has been a very busy week. blake? >> certainly you can call it that, neil. we expect the president at some point this hour to sign a few more executive orders. one deals with a major campaign promise, that being extreme vetting. that spawned off the president's initial muslim ban but formed into that extreme vetting terms. while the details of this have yet to be officially released by the white house, we expect this to deal with how visas are issued, who is get them, the process for that. especially talking about the foc

and i think now, with his comments about the c.i.a., my friends who served 30 years, have to wonder howhey're going to be treated in the coming four years. >> and donald trump has since tweeted, said he was only questioning the conclusions, not the intelligence, that he is a big fan of the intelligence community. but of course, he has cast doubt repeatedly on this assessment about the russia hacking. and today, elise, he even tweeted that it's important to focus on building a good relationship with russia that this would be a good thing and that the two countries could work together to somerset of the world's most pressing problems. how likely is that? >> well i think -- just to kind of build on what phil was saying. i think we have to see what donald trump's assessment as president of intelligence, when it's not related to questions that are directly involved in perhaps his legitimacy, as what he sees as a threat on his legitimacy of the election. this report never made any conclusions that donald trump was not legitimately elected president. but i think he perceives this as you know,

today the president-elect was feuding with the head of the c.i.a. over russia, and elizabeth palmer is in moscow. >> reporter: this time it's vladimir putin's kremlin that's at the center of a war of words between the president-elect and john brennan, outgoing c.i.a. chief. he told fox news that donald trump didn't know enough about one of america's greatest adversaries. >> i don't think he has a full appreciation of russian capability, russia's intentions and actions. >> reporter: and he called trump's off-the-cuff style dangerous. to answer, donald trump turned to, what else, twitter, to insult the c.i.a. "couldn't do much worse," he tweeted. "just look at syria, red line, crimeback ukraine, and the buildup of russian nukes. not good." instead trump suggested he would deal with russia by offering what he called good deals. for example, if russia reduced its nuclear arsenal, the u.s. could lift anti-russia sanctions. sergey mark qof, and analyst and spokesman for vladimir putin, told us linking the two issues makes no sense. so the offer of lifting
