MSNBC's Chris Hayes on National Security: 'We Need More Leaks, Not Less'

By Kyle Drennen | June 11, 2012 | 11:33

Kyle Drennen's picture

Reacting to allegations that the White House leaked several pieces of highly classified national security information to the press for political gain, on Monday's NBC Today, left-wing MSNBC host Chris Hayes demanded: "I think we need more leaks and not less...we should know how the war is operating and what's going on with a kill list that's operating out of the White House or what covert activities we're engaged in." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

Only seconds earlier, fellow guest Meghan McCain, daughter of Arizona Senator John McCain, explained that her father called the leaks "the worst security breach he's ever seen in his entire career." She added: "...whomever is doing this is not putting their country first and thinking about America and the safety of our troops, and that's scary."

Two weeks ago, on day before Memorial Day, Hayes proclaimed on his Sunday morning MSNBC show, Up with Chris Hayes, that he was "uncomfortable" calling fallen soldiers "heroes."

It's interesting to note that Monday was the first time the Today show had brought Hayes on as a pundit since his cable show premiered on September 17, 2011.

Here is a portion of the June 11 exchange:

7:21AM ET

(...)

ANN CURRY: Alright, let's talk about this other comment that your father has made, he's reiterated over the weekend his charge that the national – that the recent national security leaks were politically motivated. And in fact, over the weekend he also went on to say that they were possibly leaked by the White House. I guess the question is, is there any proof to back up these charges?

[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: White House Leaks?; Attorney General Launches Investigation]

MEGHAN MCCAIN: Well, I don't know of proof exactly, but I think when there's a leak like this, you have to look and see who is benefitting. And the President is obviously benefitting from this. I had a conversation with my father last night and he said this is the worst security breach he's ever seen in his entire career. For me, that sends absolute chills up and down my spine about exactly what we have given the terrorists and our enemies through these security leaks. And whomever is doing this is not putting their country first and thinking about America and the safety of our troops, and that's scary.

CURRY: Very briefly.

CHRIS HAYES: I think we need more leaks and not less. I mean I actually think that we should know how the war is operating and what's going on with a kill list that's operating out of the White House or what covert activities we're engaged in.

CURRY: Alright, I know you're not done, you're going to disagree.

MCCAIN: Chris and I are going to – we'll agree to disagree, Chris, there you go.

CURRY: Meghan McCain and Chris Hayes, thank you so much this morning for your perspective on these topics.

HAYES: Thank you.

MCCAIN: Thank you.

Having foreign governments withhold sensitive information because we aren't trustworthy is secondary.

He would be less harmful as an out-and-out enemy.

what information should be kept out of the public's hands and what should be known to them. (Think Pentagon Papers) But everything except the President's kill list has greatly hurt our ability to wage war on those who threaten us and the world. That is what needs to be the line that is not crossed no matter how much you believe in the value of an open government. I don't feel the kill list release hurts us much and I even think the public should be allowed to make suggestions on who should be on it.

Submitted by jon_torlin on Mon, 06/11/2012 - 11:56am.

Ok, RE: the kill list, it's just indicative of someone in the WH with absolutely NO value on life, which is why he's gleefully happy about using the drones.

Having said that, Hayes displays a shocking amount of naivette if that's what it really is about the "leaks," which endangers this country in so many ways, including HIMSELF as an American.  However, since he doesn't seem to mind, then he's right up there with that treasonous bastard Bradley Manning, because he's cheering for more leaks.  He'd do more himself if he could.

It never fails to impress me how much these liberals seem to think that these sorts of things are good things when the enemies wouldn't think twice about killing them, the same enemies that they don't mind getting leaks.

It's hard to tell if people are really that stupid or that traitorous.

She's looking demurely at the camera...all I can see is a young woman who doesn't know what she believes, but wants people to like her. "Look...I can be a hip and cool, just like you Democrats."

Yeah, Meghan is as bad as Hayes in her own way. Hayes backstabs our heroes in the military, whereas Meghan backstabs our heroes in the blogosphere. She, like Hayes, would be less damaging if she just came out for the other side and didn't claim to be a conservative.

Hint to Meghan: The left-wing networks do not have you on because they want a strong voice for conservatism. They want the weakest, stupidest, most confused and muddied defense of conservatism possible, which is why they choose you.

The kill list begs the question of just where and HOW is the information being acquired that allows the President to assign a death warrant against foreign nationals that are deemed enemy combatants? Information of that type can only be had by informants or interrogation of captured suspects. If it is captured suspects just what methods are being employed to make them talk?

But now he is bragging about his kill list passing himself off as a feared leader against terrorism.

My question about sources of information is just to point out that there is a hidden side to the kill list that isn't explained. I doubt that the die-hard Lefties would want to know what their guy is doing.

killa37: not able to understand what is written. It does not surprise me. It is from the book WE.
matthewdean: I am not surprised you found the passage confusing. This is from your profile "Loved EVERY minute of it as I can think of nothing better than making a good living while working at an occupation you love." Find someone to explain that the "I" and the "you" refer to different people.
CobraMan: find an adult that you explain the meaning of the passage. It does not mean what you interpreted.

The novel is called WE and it is about a dystopian society where the citizens swoon and talk about how great their society and their leader is--just like you three.

I can not believe that killa37 admitted that he could not understand the passage. You admitted your reading comprehension is less than grade 12.

matthewdean, a possessive noun--Zamyatin's We--should have clued you to understand where the phrase came from--and you investigated arson: LLPOF.

Before you comment on killa's reading level you should understand a few things. First, he went to the same high school the "brilliant" Obama went to.

Secondly, killa is a builder. That means he can read work plans, and transform them into solid structures. He materials and labor, pays taxes, and actually creates something from his labor.

Third, Cobra, MD, and killa are NOT talking about how great their society and leader are. We find quite a bit lacking, particularly in our leader.

Killa's the one who said he could not understand it. The school one goes to does not determine if one understands something. killa stated he could not understand it. I only commented on killa's comprehension, not his skill in other areas, whether he paid taxes, etc. your arguments are those of someone who got pi$$ed off and throws out bull$h!t to stay off the real issue.

Quote: I'll tell ya, MD, I couldn't understand a damn thing that this 'intetroll' wrote..............so I'd be hesitant to even call it a 'brain fart'. Maybe more like a diarrhetic leak???

RadicalMan: you are entitled to not like the novel; that's a personal preference and you are entitled to it. Too claim you have 2 degrees and somehow the novel is not a literacy masterpiece, that is a problem. I am not a big fan of Mozart but for me to state his music is not that great and I have 2 degrees is not valid anymore than your claim about the novel. If you think it is simply a critical look at Marxism, you don't understand the book but then you had a quick look at the summary. here is an idea, read the book for yourself and make up your own mind what it is about. Consider this, why do so many people with real credentials consider this novel so great?

Cobraman: I'll concede the sentence error, you are correct. It should have read, find an adult that can explain the meaning of the passage. Now argue the sentence. You stated,

We did try that. We've tried that again and again throughout our History. It failed, again and again throughout our history. There's a lesson to be learned in that, which is that the people who want to kill you don't care about what you have say to them.

with respect to this sentence: "But before resorting to arms, we shall try the power of words."

Yes, cobraman, if you can't understand something then it is the other person's problem. Speaking of sentences, consider your versus you're.

I couldn't put it in quotes since I changed One State to USA and Benefactor to Obamafactor but people with so many degrees should have picked up the title Zamyatin's We. Another way to give credit to the source since I did not include any of my own writing in the original post.

Quotes:

killa: Obviously this little tilley was a condom leak. (same high school as Obama)

Cobraman: Dude, why don't you just don a turban and claim allegiance to al Qaeda? (if you are not with us, you are against us)

matthewdean: at least Chris Hayes is consistent. --- With having a less than stellar outlook or opinion. (snide)

First off, I'm not "RadicalMan". And yes, when liberal trolls come on site and smugly tell someone what their reading level is, I get annoyed. Don't throw you bull around and expect you won't get called on it.

Not understanding a piece of tripe like you posted isn't a measure of reading ability, as a former teacher I can tell you this from experience. My point in giving you killa's background is to show you HE at least, is a productive member of society who contributes. Do you?

Tell me why I don't have "real credentials" but someone else does? You have no idea what my education, background, and knowledge are.

If you previously taught--given your obvious bias--that explains a lot about our education system, doesn't it.

Your credentials.  Someone with real credentials would not read the summary and then give a comment on a book.  They would read the book and then give their view, with supporting evidence.  The summary is someone else's view and given your comments, your understanding approaches zero.  Real credentials means more than a piece of paper.

 

your critique:

I've got two bachelor's degrees and it doesn't strike me as any literary masterpiece. And a quick look at the summary shows integral has it backwards. The book is a critical look at Marxism, exactly what obama is pushing on us. So he's using a book against Obama's policies to promote obama.


 Do I? Always paid my own way, left home at 18, paid for university while I worked at night, came out of school debt free and now earn more money than I spend.  But that has nothing to do about killa.  killa contributes whatever he can to society and that is all one should expect--you know, liberal thinking.

You make a serious mistake in your thinking. How do you think journalists and critics expound on different subjects? They didnt READ every book on every subject, be assured. There are other skills involved such as investigators, logical thinkers...Some folks can look at the big picture, others can't see beyond the 5 words in front of them

Your personal story is interesting. Welcome to world of ordinary people. Many of us here at NB can tell similar stories of their lives. See, many of us even went to college before there was a such thing as Pell Grants, federal loan programs, food stamps. We all worked in order to pay for our education. Some folks got their education the hard way, in the real world, and made the effort to "self educate", which is why we have libraries and bookstores.

"Real credentials mean more than a piece of paper" Yes, it requires the ability to successfully apply knowledge represented by those credentials. An example of failure of a credentialed expert is Rachel Maddow...

there is a big difference

Submitted by integral on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 1:09am.

there is a big difference between what a journalist writes by skimming through a book and what a critic writes by reading the entire book carefully. That's not my mistakes in thinking. It's called different audiences. Read a movie review from a newspaper and read the same movie review from NYU. One is 1/2 a page and the other is 8 pages. If one just goes to movies for entertainment, then read the 1/2 page review; if one earns a living making movies, read the 8 page review. But the newspaper review is not the standard by which the movie should be judged critically.

He asked if I contribute to society so I stated the story. He can judge on his own. I went before pell grants, etc. and I never stated self-educated people don't know as much. Experience is what makes your statement true: "Yes, it requires the ability to successfully apply knowledge represented by those credentials." Education is anything that enables one to perform their function better, and most of it does not come from school, imo.

Not familiar with Rachel Maddow.

Rad stated: "So he's using a book against Obama's policies to promote Obama".

You reply: "Do I? Always paid my own way, left home at 18 --" 

If Rad had said " --he used a book--"  your reply would properly be  "Did I?"

Since Rad said "he's using a book", your reply, if you were utilizing correct grammar, should have been "Am I, or Was I?"

You lose, bozo.

You ain't all that.

When you parse someone else's sentences, you try and make it appear as though they made an error.

When someone does it to you, you try and make it appear as though they either misread, or misunderstood, what you said or how you were saying it.

First of all, intetroll,

Submitted by killa37 on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 10:30pm.

First of all, intetroll, unless I'm seriously delusional, this thread is about this useless little twerps statement about national security, OK?? Just because you show up and start talkin' (Obamaspeak) about some worthless book that has nothing to do with anything - and I, or anybody else - don't jump into your lame attempt to change the subject doesn't mean that we're in the wrong.

And, yeah, I DO think that this queebie was a condom leak - what the hell does he do for a living?? What does he have to offer to make things better?? Badmouthing American soldiers??? Encouraging more security breaches and leaks?? Flapping his misinformed gums about 'global warming'??? Riding his friggin' bike??? Maybe he ought to look at the 'carbon footprint' of the TV station that probably pays him a helluva lot more than I earn as a self-employed builder.

All of these posters that you are insulting and putting down are so much sharper, more incisive, and better informed than you'll ever be, I can tell you that much. You have a hard enough time writing a coherent and grammatically correct sentence - much less having it be understandable. Plus, you've got no sense of humor or irony, which make you another dull, drab, self-important, condascending lib.

I have an associate degree, and I still didn't understand what you were saying. So, it can't be from a lack of education. It must be YOU! Perhaps it would be more helpful if you actually enclosed quotes in, you know, quotation marks, and cited the source. It's what an intellectually honest person would do. Otherwise, your just plagiarizing.

Stop playing the "intellectual," it doesn't suit you. You're far more of the "arrogant" type.

The following tells me all I need to know about you:

"This will be the first cargo to be carried by the Integral. Long live the USA, long live the numbers, long live the Obamafactor!"

Your unbelievably puerile attempt at parsing the sentence contained in my profile is easily shown to be mistaken;  the words 'I" and "you" can swap places in the sentence and the sentence remains eminently readable and understandable.

Unlike your presumptuous slathering of verbiage.

You are an idiot-assed, chuckle-headed, brain dead, Obamabot liberal troll; with grandiose visions of literary magnificence dancing on the inside of your thick skull.

Instead of being the grammarian par excellence you believe yourself to be - you are a mental munchkin, and your attempts at coming across as Lord High Pontificator Supreme reek as the equivalent of effluvia being emitted from a Pretentious Hog's ass.

You are a dork, a suckwad, a nimrod, and an ass-munching lib dipshit.

Hey intertroll - I guess

Hey intertroll - I guess you're blowing this thread up, and usin' (Obamaspeak) my name in vain while you're at it. Well, I just worked an 8-hour day, and then I surfed until dark, and now I've finally got the opportunity - after feeding my stupid cats and taking a shower - to mix up a delicious black cherry/vodka drink and read my emails, the news, the sports, the surf reports, and - of course - NewsBusters.

You mentioned some book that I've never heard of OR read, and also made some dispairaging remark about my level of intelligence. That's OK - I'm a big boy and I can handle some lame criticism - which is something that your Boy Baraka is unable to do. And I'm not a big reader either, so I can't sit here and blow smoke up your ass about who, or what, or why I've read anything. I'm just a 'student of life'................and I've been around the block a few times, and I know how to take care of myself.
I didn't go to college for very long - but I can guaran-damn-tee you that I know more about life than most college graduates.

And Ms. Rad is right (and by the way, my dear friend, thanks for the kind words), I DID go to the same school as your Boy Baraka - which is a very hoity-toity private school in Honolulu. And I was accepted based on the scores of my entrance exam, and since my parents couldn't afford all of the tuition, I got a 50% scholarship, and I had to do errands and tasks during my homeroom and study periods to pay for the other half. And I can guaran-damn-tee you that I got better grades ( and I have the transcripts to prove it, meat!!) than your Boy Baraka - who WAS admitted due to affirmative action and the fact that his communist 'typical white' grandmother was a bank VICE-PRESIDENT!!! Pretty good job for a confirmed communist!!!!
And - hey, intetroll - did you know that Boy Barry's grandmother died the day before he was coronated - even though her only physical problem was a bad hip???? But that's a whole other story, and I'm sure that you don't want to hear about it, meat.

Forget your books, forget your talking points, forget your delusional mentality, meat................you wanna match 'intelligence' or 'IQ' or anything like that??? Bring it on, meat - you're just another dope who can't even write well enough to make yourself understandable.
