James Clapper

Director Mike Pompeo's characterization of WikiLeaks as a non-nation state hostile intelligence service, which I completely agree with. That's exactly what it is.

It is really -- using an overworked here, incredible, that the lack of concern about security.

You know, the thing about all this, Anderson, for me is, you know, you run out of adjectives to describe the daily revelations that come out.

I would just accept that, try to cap it -- try to stop the tests and then enter into some dialogue with them.

I think it would have been useful assuming there were no inflammatory rhetoric while he was up there.

I think as everyone -- most everyone is, that he will adapt a more conciliatory tone as was indicated in his press conference.

I don't think, I frankly, personally don't think he should do that. I don't see the intrinsic gain by putting him back on the terrorist list.

I'm hopeful that we'll learn something about the psychology of people that get caught up and become radicalized.

I think very small groups of coalition of the willing... as we vacate the position of leadership that causes great angst among our -- particularly our friends and allies.

I do worry about what his boiling point might be in the face of some of these inflammatory tweets and statements the President makes.

It would seem so. And I would tell you, they -- this is very hard for me as somebody who's spent 50 plus years in the intelligence community serving the commander in chief.

I think undermining his secretary of state, undercutting him particularly with respect to North Korea. And creating a binary choice where it's either fire and fury or destroying North Korea or nothing.

I would certainly agree, though, that I think undermining his secretary of state, undercutting him particularly with respect to North Korea.

If you give me a choice between a state-sponsored terrorism with a nuclear capability or a state-sponsored terrorism without nuclear capability, I think I'd pick the latter.

What their most concerned with is face and leverage and recognition of their status as a nuclear power.

They want to be seen as part of that club.

I do think that is -- I won't say the only channel, but I think it's the most promising would be a direct dialogue with the North Koreans.

I really question his ability to -- his fitness to be in this office. I worry about, frankly, you know, the access to nuclear codes.

I really question his ability to -- his fitness to be in this office. I worry about, frankly, you know, the access to nuclear codes. If he in a fit of pique, he decides to do something about Kim Jong-un, there's actually very little to…

Well, he certainly could be. Again, having some understanding of the leverage that a president can exercise, I worry about, frankly, you know, the access to the nuclear codes. In a fit of peak, he decides to do something about Kim Jong-un…

When he says -- speaks of the fire and fury, this is very reminiscent of the rhetoric that North Korea uses about transforming Seoul into a sea of fire.

You're talking about incomprehensible death and destruction.

The Chinese don't like Kim Jong-un's behavior. They don't like the missile tests.

I'm sort of in the Secretary of State Tillerson camp of more moderate rhetoric.

I absolutely do. I've been an advocate, for example, for establishing an intersection in Pyongyang.
