Power, i would much prefer subpoena power. we will have lunch and go from there. i think this is just an absurdity that it exists at all. think about jim clapper and the quality of people that were in e obama intelligence leading the intelligence community under president obama. clapper, i believe michael rogers, the head of the nsa out of this, he is a sterling quality individual. but clapper and brennan and comey, are you kidding? why in the world what they have clearance? >> tucker: you see t...

Committee. he has insulted and degraded the presidency through the past year, and now would object to having a security clearance lifted. i cannot imagine why any of those people retained a security clearance. they are absolutely no use to any of them unless they are monetizing it as senator rand paul has said. and i thought, frankly, your discussion with rand paul hit exactly the right to note in questioning the existence of security clearance for former officials period for any reason. >> he i...

Senator mark udall called on brennan to resign but obama protected brennan. lets not forget brennan was caught lying last year on the steele dossier. >> director brennan, do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? >> i dont. >> did the cia rely on it? >> no. >> why not? >> because we didnt. it was not anyway used as a basis for the intel community assessment that was done. >> laura: [laughs] every time i hear that. in fact, two former intel chiefs, jim clapper and mike rogers, they dispute...

Executive branch, the same way that they do not really accept that president trump is the president and code fire comey for any reason or no reason, he. all of this freak out that you are seeing from people is a form of trump derangement syndrome on display. most of these journalists have no idea what they are talking about. they have never held a clearance, they do not wiggle goats -- know what goes into this. >> tucker: also they are dumb, if trump is -- he is in an efficient one. if brennan a...

Brennan to resign but obama protected brennan. lets not forget brennan was caught lying last year on the steele dossier. >> director brennan, do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? >> i dont. >> did the cia rely on it? >> no. >> why not? >> because we didnt. it was not in anyway used as a basis for the intel community assessment that was done. >> laura: [laughs] every time i hear that. in fact, two former intel chiefs, jim clapper and mike rogers, they disputed brennans claims that the...

Already see turtles with straws in their nose, we will see if they are actually accurate, because we might have to revisit, but this is the straw cleaner that comes with a portable straw, so if you like that kind or this kind, you can email us at "the story." and we will share. ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," we know that it is a little bit strange, a little bit odd that john brennan still has a high level security clearance. he does not work for the government ...

Them in a way that run-of-the-mill employees like me, dont. and also as a courtesy, the ability to go back in and still have real-time access to classified information if they were called in for that. that is the justification for this, but i know the whole debate just highlights a bigger problem in a much more nefarious issue. with all of these people lecturing us about institutions being undermined, and look what is happening to us, the hacking of our democracy. we have the former intel chiefs...

And this is the latest chapter. lets just look at one person on this list. jim clapper has been an american intelligence official in one way or another for 50 years. starting in the air force. hes been all over the world. there is no tough job in american intelligence that jim clapper didnt take on over the years. ive interviewed him on the record many times when he was director of intelligence. the one thing i always knew was that he would tell it straight. he said some things that deeply embar...

Same for james comey. to begin with, james clapper, susan rice, former national security adviser to president trump. give specifics of the idea of taking away security clearance and this idea of monetizing the clearance. >> yeah, i think the president has a theory somehow he is going to try to harm his critics, all it is going to do is harm the united states government. why do i say that? the reason officials retain security clearance for a period of time is so the current objecting pants of the...

Not only is the president looking to take away brennans security clearance hes also looking into the clearances of comey, clapper, hayden, rice and mccabe. the president is exploring the mechanisms to remove security clearance because theyve politicized and in some cases monetized their public service and security clearances making baseless accusations of improper contact with russia, influenced by russia against the president is extremely inappropriate and the fact people with security clearanc...
