director comey: thank you. the work involving kids is some of the most important and meaningful that we do. as the father of five, i have gone out and visited and met with folks who do this work. told them there is nothing deeper than that work. take care of yourselves. the way we approach it is i view the fbi like a safety and football. we have certain assigned coverages. every game, every opponent that is our sensibility. beyond that come and look to the primary line of defense. where do you need us in this game? should we play run support? should we play deep? that will be different in every game against every opponent. i told my special agents in charge that in the cities in which operate, figure out where we can make it. figure out where we are needed. we are a big agency, but we are small compared to stay and local law enforcement. figure out where they need us to make a tackle. the review and prioritization. -- threat review and prioritization. we figure out what rights in the u.s. we need to make a tack

director comey: it is. are representative: and we have to think about it and the professors in law school have to think about it. we have to come up with the question. director comey: if the marshall doesn't provide safety they will defend themselves to protect their families from the bad guys. the government has to fill that public space and defend the citizens. representative: you are probably right and this is a huge task. thank you. representative: and great question and good analogy if the government is unable to defend the public space if the marshall can't be there for the homestead outside of on out in indian country, how we have got to all of us provide a self-defense, what extent does an individual or a business have the right of self-dough fence for example in the cyber world? there no clear answer, i guess director: hard question. republicantive: a questionrepresentative: reare cree crating the castles today. >> and the conversation about the apple 6 in the case of a safe where you have a court

what are you doing on drugs, director comey? >> in every field office, we are engaged in focusing on the complex trafficking organizations, almost all the time in partnership with dea. our contribution to the heroin epidemic has been to work with dea to try and disrupt the traffickers who are bringing it in. we have not touched the other pieces you've talked about. >> does the marshal service have a role? >> ma'am, our role is primarily dedicated to the regional task forces and district task forces on the apprehension of the fugitives involved and we work collectively with our colleagues on state and local levels in apprehending drug fugitives. >> mr. jones? >> we look for the worse of the worse on firearms and protecting either their organization or business. the guns are always the driver for us, but that obviously leads us to some collaboration with dea and fbi and state and locals across the board. >> well, my time is up, but i think it says, we really need a different kind of coordination here. and, first, i want to complim

director comey: thank you. during my opening statement i was bragging about my folks because they are hidden gem in the fbi, and i believe they are the frame upon which hangs all of law enforcement. the information we share identities we share, dna -- all of it goes through that great facility, and i'm excited we're going to open very shortly biometrics facility with dod that will make this country safer. so i told them when i visited them, as if people do not know how cool you are here in west virginia, and that is part of the testament to the quality of your work. you do it so well that everybody takes it for granted. her excited about -- very excited about. the answer is i do not think it will have an impact. there is an offset in the budget that is about -- additional moneys that came for fee from service. the statute restricts use of those funds, and i am looking for ways in which these inconsistent with the law. my understanding is this 120 $5 million, the loss of that will not affect next-generation iden

so thank you for your time. >> thank you, director comey. i think it is especially appropriate you mentioned -- remind us all to keep your officers in our prayers and our hearts go out to the family of -- families of those three agents who lost their lives. and that is something that all of us, i know keep in the forefront of our mind, the sack firks fis, the risk all of you take in protecting us and the country from these incredibly complex and very threats. it is also apparent in this new era, the scale of the problem is so huge that you really do have to rely on state and local authorities. it is a team effort and the genius of america is that it -- that the founders envisioned a system where protecting lives and property, police powers is vested originally in the state and in the good hearts and common sense of individual americans. so there is also a vital role, i think, for individual americans to play in helping to defend the country. it is really the most important role quite frankly since one thing our enemies will never be able to

director comey we have seen estimates as many as 20,000 have traveled from 90 countries to travel and fight to syria about 150 americans who have traveled to syria and iraq to fight with isis and other terrorists groups. could you talk to the committee -- and this i recognize is an unclassified set -- about your ability to be able to identify and keep track of these folks and the americans that may be traveling over there and what can this subcommittee do to help you deal with the threat? >> thank you, mr. chairman. it's a big feature of the work and enormously challenging. the number of 150 is the approximate number of americans who have travelled to syria in connection with the conflict. some have gone for humanitarian reasons, some have gone due to associate with isil or other groups. so one of our challenges is, even with those we've identified, try to understand so what they are doing there. not everybody who is going there went there to be a terrorist but we treat them all like they are and we cover them like a blanket when we come back until we understand it. our challenge is t

i don't think that's right. >> judge, if i could ask you b and director comey, can you pitch in if you had a case in front of you where there was evidence that there was evidence in a crime in a safe that was locked and only the owner had the combination to the safe how would you handle that? >> if they bring in an affidavit with probable cause and i find that they've got probable cause, we're going to give them the right to make the search. and if he's made it search proof and even the guy that created the monster can't get in there, that's bad policy. >> there's no safe like that in the world. >> you can crack a safe, right? you get a court order, you go crack the safe. >> that's right. but if you can't crack the safe, which is what they've created here, that's a real crisis. >> the analogy seems valid. doesn't it? it's like a safe that's locked up holding evidence of a crime. >> those issues of privacy are protected by that bill of rights. >> yeah. that's a great question. >> mr. chairman -- >> i knew we would find wisdom from the judge. >> the question i would ask them is, the dist

director james comey said he largely agrees. >> there was no intelligence career service in the fbi until 9/11. the progress has been extraordinary, and so i don't want to ever let that be forgotten. but it's not good enough. and so it's about training, and deployment, and about culture. >> ifill: the commission highlighted the threat of home- grown extremists who go abroad for training, then return home to stage attacks. >> woodruff: president obama said today he'd sign bipartisan legislation to resolve a long- running medicare problem. he did not endorse a particular measure, but the house is set to vote on one tomorrow. without it, doctors face a hefty cut in medicare fees a provision that congress has waived for 17 straight years. >> ifill: in economic news, h.j. heinz company has announced it's buying kraft food groups. the move would create one of the world's largest food and beverage conglomerates. if federal regulators approve the deal, the new "kraft heinz company" will bring heinz ketchup, oscar mayer, jell-o and other well-known brands under one roof. >> woodruff: in montgomery

for our viewers judge, very interesting statement last month from the fbi director james comey who saidw in all 50 u.s. states, that includes hawaii and alaska there are investigations ongoing into isis-related activity right here on u.s. soil. so, judge basically what the fbi director is saying is that we have a network of isis supporters and sympathizers in every state in the union. so the barbarians are not just at the gates. they're inside the gates. >> all right. and, you know, iraqi forces, erick are saying that they are pushing isis out of tikrit but that america isn't doing much to help and i got to tell you they're usesing our weapons, our money, our military equipment and at the end of the day seems like they're more aligned with iran than they are with the united states. what do you make of that? >> well that's right, judge. most of those fighters who are actually pushing isis out of tikrit are actually shia that are associated with iran. they've gotten support in terms of weapons. they've had commandos and personnel that have been working with them and are training them. so

this is something fbi director comey touched on last week, a couple weeks ago when he addressed the nation's police officers about looking deep inside trying to gather officers and to remove the element of cynicism as we approach practicing our jobs. so it would be disingenuous to say it doesn't affect them that the people involved, the location and the area and those type of demographics. >> i want to bring in eugene o'donnell, former nypd officer, into the conversation here. eugene based on what you have seen in this video, what's your take? >> well, the cops are thinking worst-case scenario, of course. there's a robbery call which is the top of the violence pantheon. they get there, they're being fought with actively by somebody. they try to use nonlethal weaponry. that's unsuccessful. there's -- it sounds like there's information floating around in the air about a gun. somebody's yelling things about a gun. so you can imagine in the police business this is at the very top of the concern level for cops about whether this will end lethally for them or somebody else. >> the los angeles poli

when i listen to director comey, his words are eerily resonant of the accounts i heard three or four ago from pakistani boys how they were introduced into taliban operations. it's the same story. it was the same story ten years ago when it was luring al qaeda and it's probably going to be a similar story if you interviewed someone from boko haram. it's not just the story. it's the medium. we are not in an era of unprecedented social media, which is uncubating this much more rapidly than anything ever seen and transcending all kinds of boundaries, national and otherwise. >> dr. ahmed, thank you for joining me. we'll continue to discuss and focus it on this show. >> my pleasure pop,. >>> prime minister benjamin innocentenia hue has landed in d.c. not everyone is happy about it. >> so i think arrogance does not befit israel. >> the latest on his trip and the fallout, next. in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an ev

take a listen to something that fbi director james comey just said today about this very topic. >> withe isil and aqap of sophisticated technology and social media to spread their poison, to attract recruits to their so-called caliphate, and to try to motivate people who don't travel to do harm to innocent people in the united states, this poses an enormous challenge to us. >> so there you have the director of the fbi saying that social media and technology is very helpful to the terrorists but we also know that technology has helped us to track and potentially prevent and maybe even respond to these types of plots. in the grand scheme of these, as you weigh all these factors, have these technological advances been more helpful or hurtful for terrorists to succeed in their plots? >> i think technology works in favor of small-scale actors. so technology empowers people in small groups or individuals to do things, in some ways much more quickly and much more robustly than it empowers a large organization like a state. i think that, you know, we're seeing a time of transition. social media

what are you doing on drugs, director comey?in every field office, we are engaged in focussing on the complex trafficking organizations almost all the time in partnership with dea. our contribution to the heroin epidemic has been to work with dea to try and disrupt the traffickers bringing it in. we have not touched the other pieces you've talked about. >> does the marshall service have a role? >> ma'am, our role is primarily dedicated to the regional task forces and district task forces on the ap mention of the futives involved and we work collectively with our colleagues on state and local and apprehend ing drug fudgetives. >> mr. jones. we look for the worse of the worse on firearms and protecting either their organization or business. the guns are always the driver for us, but have obviously leads us to some collaboration with dea and fbi and state and locals across the board. >> well, my time is up, but i think it says, we really need a different kind of coordination here. first of all, i want to complement compliment every

just last month recently the fbi director james comey made a statement saying in all 50 u.s. states today we have a network of isis supporters and sympathizers. the fbi director said that in all 50 states in the union we have investigations ongoing right now into isis-related activity. so folks what the fbi director was saying the barbarians are not just at the gates they are inside the gates. we will get into that tonight. let's start with a quick overview of isis and this islamic state that wreaked so much havoc throughout the middle east and the world over the past year. isis, the islamic state of iraq and syria control some 35,000 square miles of territory in the very heart of the middle east. that is an area the size of great britain. as as -- astounding. 35,000 square miles in the middle of the middle east they have declared a caliphate. an islamic state. this is the great dream of every islamic jihadist group from the muslim brother to al-qaeda to isis and so on and so on. now they go about it in different ways. the tactics differ as we will discuss. but at the end of

james comey made a stunning statement, he said in all 50 u.s.ere are ongoing investigations into isis related activity on american soil. so the barbarians are not just at the gates, inside the gates and if the american people realize that they would want any means necessary to crush the terror movement. stuart: eric wrote the book, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. >> any time. stuart: we have an update on the outgoing congressman erin shock. he resigned in disgrace earlier this week. the department of justice launched an investigation into him looking into the possible criminal violations over lavish spending and improper accounting. we're going to get more on that in just a moment. >> i was going to say quickly, great to see and you spend the hour with you. the amount of hubris that the congressman displayed among his colleagues doing the "downton abbey" themed office. it was ridiculous. stuart: a criminal institution absolutely. stuart: i want to get back to elon musk and tesla. perhaps i was a little harsh in calling him a modern-day

director comey we have seen estimates 20,000 traveled from 90 different countries to fight in syria. we heard reports that 150 americans traveled to syria and iraq to fight with isis and other terrorist groups. could you talk to the committee and just recognize unclassified setting about your ability to able to identify keep track of these folks and americans that may be traveling over there? and what can this subcommittee do to help you deal with that threat. >> thank you mr. chairman. it's a big feature of our work and it is enormously challenging. the number of 150 is the approximate number of americans who have traveled to syria in connection with the conflict. some have gone for humanitarian reasons. some have gone to associate with isil. some have gone to associate with al nusra front or other groups. one of the challenges even those that we identify, to understand what are they doing there. not everyone that has gone there went to be terrorist but we treat them like they are and cover them like a blanket until they come back and we understand it. our challenge is trying to mak

jim comey coming out and doing certain things. ultimately the conversation is difficult because a lot of times black people do the talking and white people don't talk because they don't want to seem racist. >> it is very difficult to have an honest conversation. you don't want to offend anybody. am i supposed to call you black or supposed to call you african-american? i don't always know. where do you start that conversation so it is open and it is honest and people can say i just need to talk about it so i can understand it. >> the part is black people are often seen as "other" and not fully one of us. when we live together and work together and pray to the and party together we are one. we are together. we are a single community. we can see each other's humanity. it becomes easy to see the humanity of the people you are close to but can you see the humanity of strangers. then we see each other as human beings and work to the other issues. >> all right. >> starts with one conversation. very good. >> good to see you. >> nice to ha

i think a pretty good comment i fbi director james comey said that there's two types of large companies those that know the impact by the chinese, those that have been hacked by the chinese and they just don't know what. that's a paraphrase. i think that's largely true. i think again because of all these attacks because the high profile nature, because we've seen the loss of literally tens of millions of personal information, tens of millions of americans, people even the boardrooms and ceos are starting to realize this is really a problem. from my standpoint there are plenty of private sector solutions to this. coming from a manufacturing background we have sprinklers in our plant. first of all is just good business. i didn't want to see my plant burned down by the sprinkler heads were probably a lot closer than how i might've designed because the insurance companies said in an inspection demanded go okay those 10 feet apart, they need to be eight feet apart. if you don't turn them into eight feet apart your premiums are going up. so the actual a private sector model that will work yea

fbi director comey, the homeland security secretary jeh johnson at the time that she was the chairmanof the senate intelligence committee, diane feinstein, all made comments about sleeper cells inside the united states. we have had, of course fighters that have gone over several thousand from europe many from america, who have access to return now to our country with passports. so yes, this is a real concern in terms of these individuals who are sympathizers with isis and what they seek to do inside our country. and now you have an acknowledgment by isis that these individuals are here. they're posting messages to them, to be engaged. i think frankly we should make a consideration they would have further objectives. >> with respect, sir, to your manual, which i have in my hand here i also read a news report on it. there is a quote from a university professor who studies terrorism. he says quote, to heighten all this terrorism seems pretty irresponsible to me. what is your response to him? >> well i wish him well. i think he should be listening to the fbi director. i think he should be

. >>> james comey says a change in isis is that the agency is having trouble compiling an accurate profile of those americans who decide to take up arms with the terror group. he added that the age range is pretty wide. his comments came wednesday before the house appropriation sub committee on justice where the director defended the agency's 2016 budget request. this is two hours. >> all right, i'm going to call today's hearing to order. mr. secretary welcome, we're happy you're here today. it's good to have you back to testify on the president's 2016 budget for the department of homeland security. last year you testified on a budget that was already developed. this request, however, is a true reflection of your priorities and we look forward to having a robust discussion. >> mr. secretary, there's a lot to like in this request. and i have some concerns too. but for the first time since i've been chairman, i'm pleased with many of the recommendations in your request. the request prioritizes dhs's front line operations and personnel. doesn't include a lot of unauthorized fees as an offset.
