. >> that has been a real strength for us as a nation. st do not want to lose that. >> what bothers me the most is the institutions and values and norms and standards in this country that i spent a good 50-plus years in one capacity or another, in the trenches of the intelligence for every president since john f. kennedy, which those are under assault, which they are now, i felt it was my duty, my obligation to speak up. >> we're in the "in emergency break glass" situation. and so we're doing things that we probably didn't plan on doing, were not enthused about doing, but we're going to go do them. >> gene, their le rug tans and discomfort at being a part of the public dialogue, i fell it there on the stage. >> you can see it. >> they don't like it as well, they hate it. >> but this does not come naturally to them. it's unpleasant to them in some ways him when they say they felt they had to speak out. i think they really fell that. i think that's really clear. >> what does it say about donald trump? >> well, it says everything about donald

. >> so important for us as a nation to continue to the of the into the world and conduct ourselves in a manner that represents that. when we stooped to uncivil discourse, we stoop to pettiness, we have to remember the entire world looks to us. they do. >> i'm deeply concerned by our president on many levels. on policy. -- i think he has been very -- not been helpful to long-term relationships across the globe. we can only read about that on a daily basis. long-term allies that question the supportive united states. he suggests we can go it alone. i don't think is the case by any means. we have extraordinary power and and of ourselves but we need partners around the world to achieve the goals we seek. >> to what is for our conversations with senator bob corker interims from niki tsongas -- and congressman sick niki tsongas. tsongas.sswoman niki >> now from the u.s. chamber of commerce president and ceo tom donahue. he spoke at a christian science monitor event yesterday and discussed jobs, trade policy and the economy. this is about an hour. linda: ready? good morning. i am linda feldm

as a consequence. cheryl: i think the president, though, would take a different point of view on that. his point of view is that the chinese have been abusing us as a nations, stealing our intellectual property, these forces marriages between, you know, chinese and mesh companies, basically giving them u.s.-developed technology and that, you know, he's tired of it. he's tired of -- you know, he wants fair trade, not free trade. what do you say to the president's point of view on this? >> there is no denying that the relationship isn't perfect, and we've got companies who will tell you all of the problems that they've got. but the bottom line is that american companies that do business in china are profitable, they are global leaders x the issues that they've got in the market are ones that have solutions. and that's where companies want to see the action. cheryl: okay. let's talk about, for instance, one of your members is walmart, right? okay, so a lot of -- the retail industry, the retail association, in fact, has come out against the tariffs. you had that big public comment period that went w what, 45 hours of comments? the retail industry is saying ta

it is a real question for us as a nation where we go at this particular moment. hamilton thought of the new york post in 1801 as an anti-jefferson vehicle. in doing that, he was bending the newspaper, which up until that point, had been largely a mercantile business. was an earlyhe pioneer of media manipulation. for the spurrallel of the question is andrew jackson, and the birth of the penny press. the birth of a partisan press, which jackson exploited fully and generated enormous anxiety cut through a washington establishment as he intended to do. just to finish the point and bring it back, the moral of the story is the most gifted people are those who can find audiences and mobilize people you didn't know existed as a community. donald trump is a media genius, he just is. whatever else you have to say about him, he has been a media genius for the last 20 years. he has been on the cutting edge of every single change that popular media made. it doesn't surprise me that he understands twitter the way he does. i would say some of our horror about somebody lying on

. >> it is so important for us, as a nation to continue to be a beacon to the world and conduct ourselves in a manner that represents the best. when we speak to civil discourse, we speak to pettiness, we have to remember that the entire world looks to us. they do. >> i am deeply concerned about our president on many levels. on policy. i think on, they, he has not been helpful in long-term relationships across the globe. you can read about that on a daily basis. there are long-term allies who question the support of the united states. he suggests that we can go it alone. i don't think that is the case by any means. we have extraordinary power but we are partners with people around the globe. we need them. >>> join us with convery desk conversations. on saturday at it, eastern. >>> we heard an explosion. we heard the impact, it hit all of us. 213 people were instantly killed. 48 of whom were employees of the united states government. >> watch on american history tv. this weekend on c-span3. >>> the senate judiciary, but he has postponed its scheduled vote on thursday on judge cavanaugh's no

as long as we are held hostage by our technological and economic success, that's gonna be a vulnerability, strategic vulnerability for us as a nation. >> okay. mr. chairman, just one quick second with a follow-up with mr. stevens. you're at tampa airport, correct? and that's where you have your cyber systems correct? >> yes, sir. >> why in god's name wouldn't the other airports be doing the same thing? >> well, i don't want to go as far as to say other airports aren't. i'm sure they are. but as in my written remarks, because of the governance structures in airport, for example the largest airport in the world, hartsfield-jackson, that was referenced earlier, it's a subset of the city of tampa atlanta just like water and sewage. tampa international is an independent aviation authority. so we have more agility in implementing certain things. another one, chicago o'hare, a subset of the city of economic chick. when you look at it -- of chicago. when you look at it from that standpoint, airports are definitely doing things. i think they recognize the value for all the reasons the other witnesses have mentioned. it's just this there's n

a reaction? thank you. >> as i mentioned in my opening remarks the 2018, as of last year's national defense authorization act contained a provision that required us as a defense apartment to look at a space layer sense there are interceptors. we have explored an examination since that. in conformity with the law. we are not yet in a position where we would announce some changes or movements forward. we are in the examination phase of this activity. that is appropriate, given that this is relatively recent congress required us to do that. it's also something given the progression of space technology in her interest to periodically and the gentleman to my left are more learned about the technical capacity that we could harness from this effort but certainly it's something that seen the progression in space technology is dramatic. we would look at that. the latter part of the question and those are bridges yet to be crossed in some time away. given the level of examination we've given the question before. >> mitch? >> thank you. doctor griffin, i really enjoyed your point of not caring what others think. i tried that with my wife over the course of

as long as we are held hostage by our technological and that's goingess, to be a strategic vulnerability for us as a nation. >> okay. just one quick second, a follow-up with mr. stephens. you're at tampa airport, correct? that's where you have your cyber systems that you oversee, correct? >> yes, sir. in god's name wouldn't the other airports be doing the same thing? >> well, chairman, i don't want to go as far as to say other airports aren't. i'm sure they are. the government structures in airports -- for busiest airport, it's a subset of the city of tampa, just like water and sewage. excuse me. the city of atlanta, just like sewage.d anpa international is independent authority. another one, chicago o'hare, when you look at it from that standpoint, airports are definitely doing things. i think they recognize the value for all the reasons the other witnesses have mentioned. it's just this there's not necessarily a level of consistency. and as i pointed out, when that survey was conducted, only 34% had a base line standard, and we have to do better as an industry. >> thank you very much. i appreciate all yo
