Those statements that he makes pal tackle and clear. >> kelly: were seeing lindsay graham, republican of the south carolina and member of the committee. he was talking about three strikes you are out but what clapper said publicly, something that should have been said in secret. but i want to point out, clapper was asked which country posed the greatest threat to the u.s. you heard it and i heard it. he was fighting nuclear arsenals china and russia, on very day that biden was in moscow touting ...

They will be held accountable, particularly when it comes to assaulting civilians. and some of the rhetoric that you have seen, for example, the idea that when gadhafi said that theyd be going door to door hunting for people who are participating in protests, you know, that implied a sort of lack of restraint and ruthlessness that i think raises our antenna. but as i said before, what ive got to do is make sure were monitoring the situation and matching our actions with what we think will be hel...

We have done. its probably the most stark rhetoric we have heard from the president in saying that they believe what they have done has slowly tightening the noose on gadhafi. thats a tougher language than what we have heard but the hard question for the administration is, okay, you have taken all of these actions. the sanctions, the travel bans, the freezing of the assets and if anything gadhafi seems in a better position than he was at the beginning of this about february 15th, seems stronger,...

>> reporter: andrea, me made a little bit of newses on the budget. he endorsed another two or three-week continuing resolution all but admitting which is different from what we have heard from harry reid, by the way, admitting no way to cut a final deal in the next week. they realize the clock is running against him and trying to get out in front of that inevitable news story which is probably coming this weekend. >> thanks to you, chuck. jonathan capehart joining us now from "the washington pos...

Brotherhood was a secular organization. where did that come from? have you any idea how he could say such a thing in public? and why? >>guest: look, lieutenant general clapper was a fine general. he clearly is out of his elements. how anyone let him make that kind of a statement about a ruthless, absolutely blood thirsty organization that has been involved in almost every terrorist attack in the last 30 years, if not longer, is beyond comprehension so i dont know what general clapper was thinkin...

Council? and is the supreme council going to dominate suleiman? is mubarak getting ready to leave the country? so there is a lot of questions out there. im telling you we can all speculate and thats all we can do. but fact of the matter is the tough stuff may really just be beginning. megyn: realistically when you think about who is coming to power in egypt, even if the muslim brotherhood gets a share of the power come the fall elections, is not egypt so dependent on the united states in terms o...

Meeting with counterterror officials just yesterday. lets watch. >> i was ashamed to have to sit there and listen to the president express his great angst about the leaking thats going on here in this town. and as the president remarked, the irony here is people engaged in intelligence who turn around and talk about it publicly. >> general clapper obviously showing a little bit of heat today, but apparently the president showed some heat yesterday in that meeting saying that future operations ma...

And he was arguing with me. he said, no, i didnt do nothing. >> his mother adamantly denies her son is directing al qaeda attacks, but when i asked about the admitted times square car bomber, she said this. >> sometimes you have to do something very alarming for the people to wake up. its not because you hate them or you want to destroy them or you want to hurt them. >> that was our susan candiotti. general james clapper is the new director of national intelligence. he is the fourth dni since th...
