home grown terrorism we will talk to the fbi philadelphia to find out. welcome continue on side story i'm monica malpass. we're here with edward h anco fbi agent in charge of philadelphia thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> we have so many topics. you cover 42 counties as well as philadelphia and many place necessary between. let's talk about is some of the hot topic the the fbi has to deal with. cyber crime is among them and woven into every other crime. how do you start working to combat that. >> all right. so cyber crime is a huge issue, cutting across many programs and, the most challenging issues is determining at the first what type of climate it is. and what type of group is

commit ago this crime. so, it ranges all the way from a activist like at none must group, to a nation state like we saw in the sony attack with north korea. the but it also could be another nation group, looking for our infrastructure, trying to get intelligence information, object our defense products things like that or a criminal organization who was just trying to get money out of your bank account. so it cuts across a large swath of what the fbi investigates and the computer is a tool, just as it would be a wire fraud or mail fraud using the mail or telephone to do those things. it is a challenge to first find out and figure out what type of group it is what are they looking for and then we go from there. >> home grown terrorism has a a lot of americans worried in general with jihad janes. we never no who is around the corner working against thaws we have raisedded right here among us, is that also a big focus. >> that is a huge focus, one of the things that keep me up at night.

we always worry, and the public helps us so much in this that some people are saying things, you know like we're going to take some action or things like that and they give us that information. we will get information also from our other intelligence partners cia dia, nsa for example and then we concentrate on those individual but we have information on and then we will look at them and say, you know, is this a problem? or is isn't it? we have a finite time to do that because we don't want to stumble on anybody's civil liberties and we have to make a decision in short order whether or not that is an issue and whether or not we have a problem with that person. >> you have a lot of white collar crime that you tiehl with in the small towns, out in the counties as well as in big cities as in philadelphia. that i would say is the bulk of your work. >> so a lot of it is our public corruption our number one priority and our criminal program but also, embezzlements, spot

manipulations, schemes like those things. when we see that, you know in, all of the territories we work much smaller level and smaller cities but in philadelphia, we have been very successful lately, even the the ironworkers casey bring to mind and all of those types of things are in our white collar venue. >> you have about 3,000 agents trying to cover all of this is that right? how do you do it all. >> i wish i had 3,000 agents. i'm trying to do that all. we're under agents, we are under 400 agents. >> oh, my. >> but we have leveraged our partners, we have task forces, joint terrorism task force and we have police officers, state police and other agencies, atf, dea, all of those agencies combined on our task forces to give us a strength of about 600 people, working to solve problems and crimes and to keep the public safe, for the the fbi. >> and then there are visitors like the pope coming in september to philadelphia of course, and secret service will be a big part of that but you have a huge role.

>> secret service has a lead because he is a visiting dignitary, however fbi manages component for the the intel. we are one of the intel partners from the community and we're looking at threats coming into philadelphia. we have the crisis management and counter terrorism threats. so if anything actually happens, then it will roll over for us to do the investigation whether it is a a terrorist investigation or criminal investigation. but in all instances all of the partners are just so inter woven, philadelphia police customs, all of them because you really need help of everybody, to be able to ensure a safe visit for the pope. >> and then there are random cases like eric trina alleged assault on the state trooper who was killed and another wounded and you guys were part of helping find him after 48 days. >> correct. >> i don't know how you get it all done but what have we learned from those cases. >> well, the the biggest thing in all of those cases is the relationships between the departments, the fbi, the state police, and any of those

departments have to be strong to begin with because right away i'll put it this way, the worst time to meet for the the the first time is when something goes wrong. so you have to build those relationships through trust and then immediately you know where you can get your help, the capacities and capabilities of each of those agencies and where you can draw strings. >> ed, thanks so much for being with us. wish you continued success. >> thank you very much. >> inside story continues right after this.

welcome back to inside story, time to meet our panel list but first let's tell you we are building a new backdrop for inside story and that is why we have classic black, but soon we will have a beautiful city sky line, again. just hang in there a couple weeks, and we will have a setback. and, let's say hello to our attorney aj. ed tour andcy, former policy analyst. welcome back. and, we have g.o.p. state officials, good morning. >> lets august to about ed, making a comment what ed referred to as cyber crime infiltrating everything. you agree with that. >> yes let's keep in mind crime is terrorism spying, sabotage all carry prefix cyber. we're a society that is run by computers. it is a very, very complex but fragile system that we have, and that is why the fbi has a considerable job on its hand. >> we want to make one

correction from last weeks show on inside story last week our panel, referred to potential philadelphia mayoral candidate milton street as a former felon. he was not convicted of the felony. he was convicted of three misdemeanor for failing to file tax returns. so we retract that and we apologize. let's talk about the mayor's race. there were interesting twists, couple folks in and couple folks out and names we are familiar with. jim kenny resign as city councilman so he can run for mayor's office. that happened because a couple people decided to leave the race, darryl clark didn't enter in the first place city council president but ken trujilo entered but then withdrew his name because of family issues. what do you make of the comings and goings. >> i don't think jim kenny was candidate ken trujilo is hoping for. he is hoping for somebody with the business connection. it would surprise me if anybody else entered the race. it is late in the season now. just over three months until primary day and so unless you've got a ton of money or you have been planning this

out from the beginning it is kind ovulate to jump in the democratic race but you could run as an inn. we have talk about that on other shows. that is a possibility. on the other hand it is a multi person race. you don't to have get a majority to win primary. you only need plurality and everybody is doing calculationness their head as to how they get that plurality and come in first. >> well, kenny feels like he may have the labor vote but it takes money ed, as you mentioned aj, millions. it could take four or five or six per candidate or even more so how would you get that money if you already declared. it is hard with the cap that we have currently in our elections. >> you can always have super pac is s and others flood air waves with support. what is interesting about councilman kenny, who now former councilman kenny is that he had almost a standing ovation from his fellow council members. we have not had that in our city where mayor's office and city council have worked together. so well. so that is promising. he is also well like by large

segment of the business community as well as unions. what is interesting about him is he has had legislation supporting immigrant, he has had legislation supporting urban and gay community, lgbt community, so he has enough sporty think in various groups around the city that he does become an intriguing candidate in the next couple months. >> and an atone i hardy williams, former state senator, lynn abraham former city solicitor and former panel list on inside story nelson diaz. a couple of other names are floating around folks who are interested. there could be a couple more people. >> it could be anybody that can jump in. i have to agree with aj a hundred percent. jim kenny is interesting. people like him. he has pulled communities together. he has a good chance. you have lynn abraham whom people like. she has been there a long time. you never know she could be a top runner at this particular point. then you have senator williams who has been doing this

forever. so you just don't know. it is like a guessing game right now you. >> would you put your money on anyone person that could divide this vote or it could make the vote more cohesive. >> it is so hard to figure out tea leaves right the now but to the the point it is late. someone would have to enter either with lots of their own personal money or else they would have to add some super p thea c and again there are limits and constraints. jim kenny and i will just mention this, he is a very intelligent, well spoken, as aj said respected man. he has a deep knowledge of how government works. and perhaps most consequentially his support is by organized labor. they are a powerful force in this town, and especially in the democratic party. >> that is right. >> they can make contributions in terms of sweat equity, getting out. >> getting out the vote. >> right. doing all those things

uncompensated and not accounted for on a filing. they can be players in this town. >> you cannot discount importance have of racial politics and democratic primaries in philadelphia. >> that is right. >> now we have just one african-american candidate, anthony williams and the majority of voters in the democratic primary are going to be african-american. of course, majority of democratic voters are also going to be women, which is something that lynn abraham is looking at, and so, you know which, brings out votes in the biggest numbers as most cohesive block could determine the outcome in the four way race. >> but remember, sam katz is still watching and waiting and considering and he has the the money. remember, 24 million-dollar, that is a lot of money. but, anyway, bottom line is katz can come in with heavy duty money also. >> i think sam katz, i would not count out candidacy by someone like bill green and a

lot of wild card out there. but senator williams has like jim kenny had has a wide base of support not only african-american support but also in the business community, on education. >> he has been fund raising quietly before declaring. >> yes. >> i think a lot of people saying this is not an exciting race this will be a heavyweight bought. we have a lot of interesting people. they are not interesting because we know them but there have been public servants for many, many years. they know ins and outs of our government. they know the city. so we do have have a nice portfolio of people who know our city, pretty well who i'm just waiting to see what the next vision is for next 50 years. >> yes let's talk state politics now. new governor has had a busy couple weeks. tom wolf stepped in harrisburg. he has to appoint state supreme court justices before the the election to fill the seats permanently. and i'm not sure he will get them through easily because he does have opposing party on the other side what do you

make who do you think he will put in or what kind of fight is lying ahead. >> i don't know names but very likely it will be one democrat and one democrat because typical the protocol says if you lose one of each urea .1 of each especially if you are a democratic governor and you have overwhelming majority in the house and senate of the other party. >> sure. >> add to that the the complexity of now he has got to replace rob mccord who has stepped down. >> state treasurer. >> and this has gotten very complex, very quickly for wolf. he also as sam said has an option of not appointing replacements and say let's just wait until the election. so typically he would appoint someone, it would be a good break through for him to work with the republicans to figure out which one of your guys, do i give you, which one do you give me on my side. >> especially because they have four or five more seats about to become opened if people end up retiring and if the law is not change to allow

people over the age of 7o we have state supreme court justices about to be retired. there could be a whole new face to the seven person panel pretty soon. >> bottom line is he has to reach across the aisle. you cannot go in after a inaugural speech and talk about corbett and talk about leadership and then not talk to them after you meet with them and say you will fire everybody, that corbett appointed. come on now how will you get your people confirmed is all i have to say. >> i think he will have an opportunity to have a heavy thumb on the scale with six potential replacements within the supreme court. that is extreme. >> yes. >> but what it also does it gives him an opportunity after having i think a rough start with the republican majority, an opportunity to now do some deal making. then become softer so they can accomplish other things. >> all of those judges need to be confirmed by the state senate. >> that is my point. >> that is the difficulty and he did one more thing that

upset the republicans in that he reinstated the fraking ban on public lands that had been originally enacted by governor rendell, reversed by governor corbett and now it is back. >> each of these things are none in negotiation chips if he wants to develop to working relationship with the republicans. >> let's talk more about the ban on state parks. you can no longer drill for gas and oil there. he said state parks are a treasure. we need to protect them. will we flip flop back and forth on that issue until the end of time it would seem. >> probably because there is no agreement on the science. it depend on whom you speak about fraking but if you talk to supporters they say there has not been any cases in which groundwater has been contaminated by the the process. they have been doing it for 60 years. they are better at how they are doing it. environmentalist have their own creed where they say anything along those lines is terrible. >> disruptive, right. >> as long as politics play is a a role in it which means

forever, this is going to continue to bounce back and forth. >> and renee you surprised he supports medical mar juan bill. >> no, not at all. he is trying to work with people. that is how he ran his campaign. he will do anything to make a difference but also say this is what i said i would do and i'm doing it. >> they are all partisan issues. medical marijuana advocates are part of the democratic base. environmentalist connvation basis part of the democratic base. a democratic governor has to reward those element of his base. conversely the the fraking industry is part of the republican base. so they need to be responded to, if you are a republican. >> let's talk national politics a bit. president obama was in this region just a couple days ago and democrats house democrats, met here. they are trying to reshape their message for 2016 and figure out what went wrong in midterms where they lost so many seats. what we're hearing is that they think that they missed out on the middle class. they didn't find a way to

connect with middle class voters about jobs and keeping their wealth and trying to preserve education for their children what do you think the message will become. >> the the late stewart scott says life is all about two key dates and the dash in the middle. president obama is very much aware of not only the two key dates when he got elected and when he will leave but dash in the middle. wants to create a legacy. this is a last minute scramble during super bowl weekend last minute scramble to to something with his legacy. a little will too late. i don't think he has support overall nor does he have the the third to have that impact. >> his approval rating went backup after his state of the union dress. he is at 50 percent for people looking at that. presidents look at that. it matters to him. >> but when you look at right track, wrong track, the numbers run in the opposite direction. the it is interesting because at this retreat, one of the themes that came out, is as democrats say our messaging was wrong. not message not the substance.

in the same week the the president proposed a tax on 529 plans with middle class saves for college and had to very quietly drop that. >> right. >> because the middle class went nuts and his own party said this is a a crazy idea. that wasn't message, that was substance. >> everybody is trying to appeal to the middle class. that is basically american politics. but dominant reality is the the middle class hasn't fully recovered from the great recession. >> right. >> so there is still excessive unemployment. everybody is talking about stagnant raises, rising neck quality, you know, those fast food restaurant and baggage handlers at airport they want $15 an hour in 2015. good luck with that. meanwhile the administration will give work authorization to 5 million illegal immigrants this year. >> want the jobs. >> they want the same jobs. so, they will work for what

they are paying you. >> listen, pelosi, obama are having issues about taxes. then you're looking at iraq, he is having issues with his party. they are not communicating at all. communication is not there. it is same thing but different day. >> this grid lock is intra partner and inter party how do you get passed and get anything done. >> bottom line is they're not which i'm not upset about. but bottom line is until they communicate and get on the same page that is an issue. they feel like they don't to have listen to president obama right now. >> they cannot get on the same page but they can trade off. you give me this, you give me that. the president is staking out more and more ground appealing to the extreme progressive and saying we will break the sequester. we will not have have budget concerns any more dominating our spending, but that is a pretty aggressive move. >> by the way it was a terrible week for obama foreign policy. you had three former secretaries of state former head of the dia, two former

head of central command, who said this administration does not understand the the threats that we are facing. they have not prepared for it. and i cannot think of a week where you had more people who had really important jobs in government, stepping forward from the intelligence and foreign policy areas and defense area saying this has been a disaster. >> hillary presumably will be a at the top of the ticket in 2016, or before 2016 with foreign policy experience clearly as secretary of state. will that change things and get a better message. if you are hosting an election you want everybody in the party talking the same talk. >> for the long time it looked like hillary clinton would be a shoe in both as nominee and as the the eventual president because there didn't seem to be formidable opposition but as ed suggests, things have deteriorated so much for the democrats, that one has the possibility now that a republicans could nominate somebody who could become president. >> definitely we will, there

is no doubt in my mind. >> but also, i mean, is it possible from your state joe biden, when you have a sitting president hossa travel rating increases as it is happening with president obama then current vp sitting becomes a bona fide candidate at least for the party, is that possible and does that create a controversy within the democratic party. >> vice-presidents certainly think so but i think, you know, he is a realize and he knows what is possible but he is keeping himself available just in case politics you never know what will hit them. >> punch line for late night comics that does not help. as far as hilary's foreign policy benghazi and russia will hurt her. it is so bad, that she actually wants to go back and testify gannon benghazi because she's concerned that this is a festering wound and she should be. >> nothing better then to have a challenger for hillary in the primary either joe biden or elizabeth warren or

somebody else. >> i think they will though. >> i think so also. >> we will leave it at. that inside story coming your way, right after this. two, book an appointment. and three, pick up a check at your nearest buying center. ♪ find out how much your car is worth ♪ ♪ at webuyanycar.com ♪

in an effort, world bank we talk about the global economy, and what was striking was everybody focused on china how they are now 35 or 07 percent, contributions to the global gdp with 62 percent of their economy tied to real estate which is bursting in china that could mean if they sneeze all of us get a cold. >> another recession probably. >> yes. >> oh, my. >> as we are's watching super bowl consider the multi billion dollar nfl, the the republicans in congress this week introduced a in measure to strip nfl and nhl of their tax deductible status. tax exempt status. >> they will feel that. >> all right. philadelphia city council voted unanimously to ask the

the state legislature in harrisburg to extend the rules allowing ride sharing by uber and lyft into philadelphia and, overrule the philadelphia parking authority. which may make you wander why do they have to go to harrisburg to overrule philadelphia parking authority. parking authority is an agency of state government with the majority of its director appointed by the governor not by the city of philadelphia. >> hasn't been an outcome yet? >> not yet but it shows people in philadelphia are asking for ride sharing by uber and lyft and philadelphia parking authority is defending the the taxi industry. >> all right. >> renee? >> going back to harrisburg talking about senator pillegi who has done a wonderful job as majority leader. then he just stepped down last week from the committees he is on. he really doesn't have anything in harrisburg. so he will run for judge common pleas judge in his district. so lets see what happens. >> okay. keep an eye on that one. that is inside story. thanks so much for our insider
