The intelligence community is very professional, they do their jobs well, they're the best intelligence gatherers in the world. They're dedicated, patriotic Americans. They will work with any president. They want to have a good relationship with every president.

But even race-neutral policies and recruitment efforts designed to achieve greater diversity are, in the end, not race neutral.

And in this community, as in all others, the Golden Rule still applies - we must be act toward other nations as we would have them act towards America.

Winning the war on terrorism will also require a level of moral clarity that can provide a vision for struggling people and nations everywhere.

We should be worried about protecting the homeland. I think that policy is changing, should change and will change.

I think what we are confronting now is a new war of ideas. It's not communism versus capitalism, but it is authoritarianism versus democracy and representative government. And that is a threat that here in Europe, they feel acutely. They've seen their countries interfered with, bombarded by cyber-attacks, by Russian propaganda, indeed, by Russian troops.

All of the dirty tricks, basically, the Russians employ to tear down liberal democracy, we need to work together on a bipartisan basis, and we need the president Trump help. We can't do it alone. And that has to begin by his acknowledgment of the facts.
