jamie previously served in the us national security council, state department and senate foreign relations committee with the united nations incambodia . times i think is done so many things there must be three or four of them i try to keep up with them, bicycle riding and other things and this hasn't worked for me. he's also regular commentator on the nn and other major media. "hacking darwin" is jamie's fifth book and since it came back in hardback the reviews have been stellar. and the r says that jamie metzl writes with great clarity and a sense of urgency that we should all take to heart. nature says that jamie metzl has a knack for scientific and moral complexities and for seeingthe big picture . cnn says quote, if you could only read one book on the future of our species, if you can read five books, read all of jamie's books. you get the point. if you haven't already read "hacking darwin", you should and if you don't want to read it, at least by . but this is my bit for you, you have a deal right now that you're not going to get another time so this is a little bit like telemarketin

accurate doesn't it in 2018 you also closed the global health security office at the national security council to use main job was to prepare for and prevent the kind pandemic that we see now that is not true that is fast asked him morrison who had it that interagency in the national security council asked him because he was in charge of that and just any he didn't close it they were working on this at the national security council of course they were. concerned about the potential problem but you know what was what was the other aspects of the intelligence community what were they what were they warning about in early january i tend to remember it was all about ukraine and pretending that ukraine up momentarily pausing a.t.u. crane was our biggest national security threat how laughable that was then and it's certainly laughable now with the democrats did wasting our time you know what adam should no traitor to your talents. when adams shift even when he was still in the minority and represent daven nunez was trying to hold a hearing on the threat posed by china adam schiff hijacked those hearings to

using united nations tools would have been available to us, to get past the un security council to make sure those arms sales don't take place. >> i know we got to let you go but anything you would like to add on what we do or don't know about kim jong un at this point? >> not much to add but the american people should simply know that whatever is going on, whatever takes place donald trump and administration are committed to the very same objectives we set out which is the final and fully denuclearize north korea donald trump and chairman kim set up in singapore a couple months back. >> we will stand by. mike pompeo, thank you for your time. new documents justin sealed tonight could be game changers in the michael flynn case. the former chairman of the house oversight committee and fox news contributor has a lot to say live next. .. you doing okay? yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that'

being reported here in the united states coming from the trade advisor to the us president and also the national security council in late january peter navarro laying out the risks to americans not only in terms of public health but also to the economy that the coronavirus could because of a lack of a vaccine and a cure cost as many as a half a $1000000.00 lives 6 trillion dollars to the u.s. economy that was later revised in late february and a 2nd memo we understand warning that the coronavirus here in the united states could cost 2000000 lives now in this memo by peter navarro it lays out a couple of recommendations one that there should be an immediate travel ban travel warning from china that was something that was implemented and as well it makes the case that there is going to be a tremendous financial need in requests from the u.s. congress something that has only come just in recent weeks and what this memo does essential e is it lays out what the president knew when he knew it and whether he acted in time because of course there are accusations that there may have been too little done too late particul

we're going to use the united nations -- that have been made available to us. past the u.s. security council to ensure that those arms sales don't take place. >> shannon: quickly, i know we got to let you go, but anything you would like to add on what we do or don't know on kim jong un on at this point? to go now, shannon, not much to either but the american people should simply know that whatever is going on there, whatever takes place, president trump and our administration are committed to the very same objectives we set out, which is the final and fully denuclearize to north korea that president trump and chairman kim set out back in singapore just a couple of months back. spoon all right, we will stand by. secretary might prevail, i think as always. >> thank you very much, good to be with you. >> shannon: new documents just unsealed tonight could be game changers in the michael flynn case. jason chaffetz, former chairman of the house oversight and reform committee and fox news contributor has a lot to say live, next. safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers sa

us, thank you very much. >>> two doctors, the acting u.s. surgeon general during the obama surgeon and the former director of the national security council's medical and biodefense preparedness, join us. doctor, "the new york times" is reporting the fda plans to announce what they call an emergency use authorization for remdesivir, this drug. do you think enough promise has been shown to justify this? >> it's interesting, you know, both of us worked at the fda at one time, and were intimately involved in emergency use authorization. it really is a powerful mechanism to get medications out, to get therapeutics out, to get diagnostics out, even personal protective equipment out, in a time of emergency, prior to all the data being in. we look at it from a perspective of, is it safe and is there enough data to be able to say it may work under these circumstances. so emergency use authorization is a way that we get products out there in term of emergency. it will be interesting to see what the fda does, because it still is data-driven. fda has to be able to be convinced that this stuff will work. remdesivir certainly, as tony fauci said, it's a proof o

national security council. next senior director of military and political power serving as national security advisor to members of the armed services senate foreign relations committee and 15 years us military officer during a black hawk pilot and assistant professor at west point. so for those who have not read your book so explain briefly the dragons and the snakes. >> this is a book about military adaptation by adversaries and potential adversaries at the end of the cold war. the title comes from the president one - - present cia director and incredible prescient guy if you read his testimony when he was going through his confirmation hearing and 93 he was asked the cold war just ended what will be the threat environment america needs to face to the post-cold war. we slay the dragon talking about soviet union but now we have snakes in the dragon is easier to keep track of so he has this vision of week states and failing states and nonstate actors some call snakes and suggests that the state adversaries will not be a big deal for the immediate future which i call the dragon so i am suggesting we have a period of nearly 30 years where i'm trying to trace the history. >> if you loo

wrote in late january, that he warned the national security council, that the china virus could cause a global pandemic, and cost the economy $5.7 trillion. he told usnot contest its authenticity. >> no apologies from this administration. we are doing better and more than any other president could have done. >> reporter: sir, this is the best you can? >> you say this is the best you can, like somebody could have done better. really? who could have done better on this? really? think about this. >> i know it's a pandemic. and we -- it's just really hard for us to accept the fact that this is the best that we can do. i wou anybody. we're running out of supplies that, it's not just the ppe and ventilators. we're running out of i.v. pumps. we're running out of stuff that we never ran out of before. and it is unacceptable that in the united states of america, the richest country in the world, we are struggling like this. >> you can see the full "60 minutes" report on our website, cbsnews.com. when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll

us national security. for many years was senator john mccain's foreignn policy advisor into the national security council and senate foreign relations committee so welcome to both of you it's wonderful to have you both here again. we would like to call into present the key themes before we give the floor over for comments we will have a brief conversation then we will open the conversation to the floor and i look forward to your interaction during that time. thank you both. >> thank you for this invitation it just so happens this panel includes three people whose expertise and views that i respect it is a pleasure to be here without danny this book may not have happened she may regret that so i'm glad to be here. so let me say a few words about the central thesis of the book so what motivated me the common argument over the last five years is the trump administration represent something completely unprecedented in american history and this striking rise of populist nationalism on the right is a cause for comparisons without downplaying those concerns and misunderstands the nature of american populism in the

starting to read about national security advisers but ron -- iran officers on the national security council and the folks in the mid level bureaucracy. is there anything you could tell usabout the relationship between presidents and their advisers and the formulation of policy that could address bolton and pompeo today or perhaps a historical moment that speaks to this question? >> i could say a lot of things. we both spent a lot of time looking at mid-level advisors. i think the role of someone like dennis ross is critical. it is interesting to look at. i actually think that despite the so-called warmongering instinct of someone like bolton, the goal is not war, and it is not to bring about regime change. it is pure speculation. i think they genuinely believe that if they put enough pressure on iran, that they will somehow come to the negotiating table. i don't know if they wanted to talk about a more broad deal so they can say they did a better deal. in a way, i like that approach. i always thought the u.s. should take a much broader approach to its iran diplomacy. before i get quoted as saying i like the approach, i like that they are looking at a much broader range

national security council. it's great to have you both with us.he president says what do you have to lose, what do people have to lose? so you tell us, what are the potential risks in following the president's guidance here? >> you want to make sure that if you're going to use hydroxychloroquine that you understand the risks and potential benefits. the potential benefits haven't been proven. people are studying this, there are hospital protocols that i've used to give patients hydroxychloroquine. but we have to think about the risks because it does cause heart rhythm disturbances, it does interact with other medications. we want to get real data from randomized controlled trials to know if this is effective or not. this isn't something that should be done outside of hospital settings without the supervision of a doctor. this isn't a benign drug. you want to make sure it's being given in the right conditions. i don't think telling everybody to get it is the right message. it needs to be done in a controlled fashion with oversight and supervision. >

establishing the national security council, that act doesn't tell the president to do anything about how to run it. his national security apparatus is his. he can set it up as he wishes and use it as he cares to. it can be very important, it can be highly structured, it can be free wheeling. it can be anything he wants. and the role of the national security adviser is a key variable in this because in certain cases, the national security adviser becomes the barrier between cia and the president. most significantly with nixon and kissinger and carter and turner. in both of those cases, the presidents made very clear that they wanted their national security advisers to their national intelligence advisers and to control the flow of intelligence into the white house, to be the principle analyst on the scene, to interpret the daily product that cia produced for the president and to be, in effect, his intelligence policymaker. stan turner had the same role under jimmy carter. he did a clever thing. he noticed that on the president's daily calendar was a provision for a morning meeting called the morning intelligence briefing. and, of course, turner, the dci said, "i'm doing that.

ask the senior director for strategic planning at the national security council, bringing in general robert spalding, good to have you back with usso based off of bret baer and others we are learning more about the origins of the virus, what may have happened, there's so much we don't because china has to fill in the blanks but congressman dan crenshaw from texas says we need to hold the chinese government accountable for their malicious lies and cover up that allows the coronavirus to spread across the world. the communist regime expelled journalists, silenced whistleblowers and withheld vital information to delay the global response to the pandemic. simply but their actions cost american lives and livelihoods. all the talk of how to make them pay, how does that play out? >> a lot of people calling for reparations but the truth of the matter is the chinese communist party will never pay. that is okay because we can make tariffs permanent, prevent them from earning anything in the future. we can prevent our retirement funds from being invested in chinese companies, chinese bonds and we can prevent us corporations from claiming th

national thank you very much for joining us thank you good afternoon. they video conference zoom is coming under increasing pressure over security council software has become popular with people isolating at home but house had problems with so-called zoom bombing that's where a stranger gains access to your calls now the u.s. senate has reportedly band members from using it google also told it stuff to avoid soon although google has its own competitor video calls zoom says it has hired facebook's former security chief alex stomachs to help improve its previously protection. well from all that i'm now joined by our until to. what kind of security concerns are we talking about regards as well you mentioned some of them just there i mean 1st and foremost i think on the user experience side is this phenomenon of zoom bombing and as you said it's basically where a person who should have access to a group call gains access to it in gauges in some good old fashion internet trolling i mean often what we're seeing there is people just hurling abuse at some of the people that they don't know in there or and i think this is actually most disturbing for some of the us

take very quick actions so us to take very quick actions so in the battles against covid—19 we implemented many measures and we held meeting of the national security councilannouncement of a travel alert, optimisation of border quarantine, reinforcement of a 14 day home quarantine, up reading the healthcare for disease and in adequate supply of ppe and other medical material and promotion of communication and last but not least is the development of rapid diagnoses. you have been praised for your fast response to the virus. how much has the country learned from previous outbreaks? from the previous outbreaks? from the previous outbreaks we can see that it is very important for us to take a very important for us to take a very quick response and so taiwan's actions basically have employed rapid diagnoses and other measures into our response. after the sours outbreak we already had a comprehensive review and made amendment to our communicable disease control act. —— after the sars outbreak. and we strengthen our border quarantine capacity and diversify the system and imposed our density monitoring institution. we formulated a response plan and conducted dri

us. i guess the takeaway is, you look and you see that the national security council, especially matthewvery concerned. the state department, the pentagon, the national security council, as i said before, of course, the cdc, the hhs, all of these agencies, and the trump administration knew about what was going on in china and were fearful that a full-blown pandemic could explode. and that was in early january. what did your reporting find the biggest obstacle was from them being able to turn those fears and concerns of the coming pandemic in early january into policy that could have saved so many americans' lives? >> i think that there's a lot that happened here that sort of tells us about the trump administration, things we have known for several years now but we haven't had a crisis that was going to test this administration in the way that this has. and the inability to make a decision, the disagreements among key members of the white house staff, the fact that you had a chief of staff who was on the way out and was unable to have the respect of his colleagues and make decisive choice

us, we have always been concerned about a lack of leadership level. back to 2011, we recommended there should be a focal point at the national level. at the time, it was given to the national security council. the bipartisan commission on biodefense recommended five years ago that it be the vice president. i am aware of the pandemic office that was disbanded. anything that pulls away that central oversight over all those agencies is not a good idea. it is part of the national biodefense strategy that was issued in 2018, several high-level coordination mechanisms were developed and people -- omb, nsc, all of those agencies were part of the committee and that was supposed to be the day-to-day coordination and communication mechanism for biodefense. that is sustainable across the ministrations regardless of the white -- across administrations regardless of the white house and what they decide to at the national security level. host: less than 10 minutes left with chris currie. taking calls on the preparedness and response to biodefense strategies and specifically to the coronavirus. lisa in california. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. i read the pandemic plan of 2017

the white house national security council the china-born virus could cause a global pandemic, take a "half-million american souls" and cost the economy" $5.7-trillion dollars." he told uses not contest its authenticity. >> navarro: no apologies here from this administration. we are, we are doing better and more than any other president could've done. >> whitaker: sir, this is the best you can? >> navarro: you say, "this is the best you can?" it's, like, oh, somebody could've done better. really? who could've done better on this? i mean, really, think about this. >> cabrera: and i know it's a pandemic, and we, it's just really hard for us to accept the fact that this is the best that we can do. i wouldn't wish this upon anybody. we're running out of supplies that, it's not just the p.p.e. and ventilators. we're running out of i.v. pumps. we're running out of stuff that we never ran out of before. and it is unacceptable that in the united states of america, the richest country in the world, we are struggling like this. >> whitaker: this week was one of the worst in new york's history. covid-19 patients filled hospitals and morgues in numbers that dwarfed 9-11. the trump

and iran point persons on the national security council in a way that mid-level -- folks in mid-level bureaucracy can influence policy. is there anything you all could tell us about the relationship between presidents and their advisers in the formulation of iran policy you could address bolton and pompeo today or perhaps historical moment that speaks to this question? >> okay. i mean, yes. i could say a lot of things. i mean, going back, i think mark and i both spent a lot of time looking at sort of mid-level advisers. i think that dennis roth''s role is an important one. i'll answer the pompeo question. i actually think that despite the so-called war mongering instincts of someone like bolton, the goal is not war and it is not a war to bring about regime change. pure speculation, and i'm an historian that probably shouldn't be wading into these waters but i think they actually genuinely believe if they put enough pressure on iran that iran will somehow come to the negotiating table. i actually believe their goal is to talk to iran and negotiate a much more comprehensive, broader deal with iran than obama did, so we could say, see, we did a better deal wit
