host: brennan on the democrats' line from north carolina. caller: if all of these immigrants are so great and ingenious, why don't they stay home and make their own country better? i have an idea that they come into this country and probably get all of this government advice and government aid to start these business that americans either do not know about or cannot get themselves. i'm not saying that they are bad people just because they come here, but gosh, if they are so ingenious, why can't they secured a way to -- and some of them might have to fight and some of them might have to die, but dan, they can make their own country better. guest: they do make their country's better. they send a lot of money home, which is enormous benefit to the country's back home. one of the things that is happening is that a number of the immigrants are particularly from asia, because there's so much trade between america and asia today. they're working in both countries. there is an indian family -- this fellow came to america originally as a ph.d. studen

john brennan, who is his principal homeland security adviser, as well as dennis mcdonough, chief of staff for the national security council. he's traveling in hawaii with the president. they're trying to keep him up to date, give him as much background information about what's happening. we're told the president also getting secure paper updates from the white house situation room back in washington. obvious obviously, even while he's on vacation, the president needing to stay in the loop on this. we're told in terms of specifics, as we have known, the president has been told this was clearly an attempted terror attack. that's observious for all to se now as we have seen the exclusive pictures on cnn and elsewhere. number two, the president also told that the suspect is being debriefed by the fbi and has been speaking a lot. and talking a lot, giving up a lot of information and that u.s. officials behind the scenes now are trying to verify what he's saying. finally, the president also was initially told in some of the early briefings yesterday -- he's getting more today as i noted -- ther

we've had high-level visits by john brennan, president obama's counter terrorism advisor. a lot of discussions with the yemeni government about returning guantanamo detainees, some of whom have returned to the battlefield. one of the leaders of al qaeda in yemen is a guantanamo releasy. he may have been killed in a recent air strike. the air strike was undoubtedly done with u.s. intelligence help. there's some level of cooperation with the yemenis. the yemeni government has two civil wars going on effectively it has to deal with. it's a very poor country, a very weak central government, heavily armed population, very tribal, geographically, top graphically, looks a lot like afghanistan. it's bin laden's home country. that's where his family originates from. it's sort of a place that al qaeda finds pretty amenable to be located in. >> there's also been talk about this latest suspect being on a watch list. could you give us some idea once and for all about the difference between a watch list and a no-fly list and why he wasn't on the no-fly list? >> well, no-fly list, you kn

. >> in recent months, both petraeus and john brennan personally warned yemeni president sala that al qaeda was targeting his inner circle. a senior officials confirms to cnn that intelligence agencies and military special operations teams are helping yemen, providing intelligence, training and weapons. u.s. officials say they gave yemen intelligence on targets, but won't say if american war planes or armed drones conducted the recent strikes. senator joe lieberman offered one of the few public hints. >> we have a growing presence there, and we have to, of special operations, green berets, intelligence, if we don't act preempttively, yemen will be tomorrow's war. that's the danger we face. >> reporter: that's one reason the the u.s. is so worried. he says he traveled to yemen and was given bomb-making materials by al qaeda. you see the immediate potential for sdras are. al qaeda operatives in yemen are within striking distance of saudi oil facilities. hundreds of vulnerable cargo ships pass the coastline each year. one reason al qaeda has established yemen as, the government already i

this summer, general david petraeus and john brennan, the head of president obama's top counterterrorism adviser both went to the yemeni government, presented them with intelligence and said, you have a serious problem. your country is threatened by al qaeda. since then, the president of yemen has agreed. so they are working much more closely together, but the real secrecy here is that they are not acknowledging the depth of the u.s. military's involvement in the strikes that have already happened and any possible strikes to come. erica? >> barbara starr for us tonight live in washington. thanks. we want to turn now to national security analyst, peter bergen, who is joining us as well. when we look at these strikes that barbara is talking about, peter, obviously, they have to be effective, essentially 100% effective, or for some of the reasons that barbara just touched on, they could do more harm than good. how do you go about making sure they're going to work and hit the targets as intended? >> the two strikes that already happened as barbara referred to on december 17th and december 24

john brennan, his top counterterror and homeland security adviser, dennis mcdonough, traveling with the president on the national security council staff. the key is what the president is being told behind closed doors. one piece of information we've gotten is that the president was told this was an attempted terror attack. secondly, the president was told that this suspect is now being debriefed by the fbi and is, quote, talking a lot according to one senior u.s. official who's familiar with this investigation. now, this senior official also told me that the early impression within the white house is that this suspect was a lone wolf, act eight loan, to pick up on what deb was just reporting. it does not appear, at least in the early stages of this investigation, that this suspect had any formal ties to an organized terror group like al qaeda. he may have had aspirations to be connected with al qaeda. he may have been inspired by al qaeda but did not have any formal ties. finally, there was no evidence that there were other devices planted on other airplanes across the united states. ne

. >> in september of this year, president obama sent his counterterrorism chief john brennan to yemen. general david petraeus the head of central command also made an unannounced trip to yemen at roughly the same time. and oh, yes. we've been bombing yemen, too. or at least in our government's words we've been providing the fire power for yemeni air strikes. as recently as christmas eve we bombed yemen. and a week before that we did it as well. the president authorizing cruise missile strikes at al qaeda targets in yemen. like our air strikes in pakistan these are something our government is reluctant to discuss in detail. the use of secret american bombing campaigns in yemen going back as far as 2002. but apparently it's rather dramatically escalated under president obama. reluctant to let that reality intrude upon his reverie onset with fox news this weekend senator lieberman of connecticut ignored the preemptive american military action that's actually been happening in yemen and called for preemptive american military action to happen there. >> somebody in our government said to m

secretary of homeland security janet napolitano, and my counterterrorism and homeland security adviser john brennan. i asked them to keep -- continue monitoring the situation, to keep the american people and members of congress informed. here is what we know so far. on christmas day northwest airlines flight 253 was en route from amsterdam, netherlands, to detroit. as the plane made its final approach to detroit metropolitan airport, a passenger allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device on his body setting off a fire. thanks to the quick and heroic actions of passengers and crew, the suspect was immediately subdued. the fire was put out, and the plane landed safely. the suspect is now in custody and has been charged with attempting to destroy an aircraft. a full investigation has been launched into this attempted act of terrorism and we will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable. this was a serious reminder of the dangers that we face and the nature of those who threaten our homeland. had the suspect succeeded in bringing down that plane, it could have killed ne

so clearly this is now something on john brennan's plate, the chief counterterrorism adviser to the president. they're figuring that out. as i said, chris, we are learning lots of information ourselves on this. including that visa situation. and clearly we're going to hear more possibly about his travel to yemen, and some other things that, frankly, all of that stuff was available to the u.s. government. and i think that's what the president is saying. they had a bunch of information. dots weren't connected. and again, pointing the finger at the government itself. it was a pretty striking conclusion that the president has drawn. >> thank you very much, chuck todd, reporting from hawaii for us, where he has been with the president throughout this vacation. and of course, he's calling for these two specific reviews, but there was a huge review five years ago by the 9/11 commission talking about very specific ways, very specific recommendations about how to make air travel safer, and many of those recommendations have never been implemented. let me bring in a member of the 9/11 commission, richa

we're told by the white house that the congressman was briefed by john brennan, who is the president's principal homeland security adviser. congressman hoekstra's office confirmed yes, he did have a conversation with john brennan at the white house, but they're claiming it was a brief conversation, did not get a lot of information, so they're saying it's not a briefing of republicans, just a conversation. so you're right to point to the bush years. this is feeling a lot like that, in that now all the of these accusations are going back and forth so quickly, that they can't even agree on who's being briefed. they're insisting it's just a conversation, not a briefing. it gets ridiculous after a while the back and forth, but i can tell you as well we're learning from white house officials that as early as tomorrow, the next few days, they say lawmakers on capitol hill will get another briefing from john brennan or other officials to get an update. congressman hoekstra's office keeps insisting in recent days before this incident on the various cases he discussed with you what they get is v
