so it also notes the article notes that you know the department of homeland security is one of the least efficient in terms of dispersing the money they send it all over the place without asking any questions and they highlight for example a place called north pole alaska which received four hundred fifty seven thousand four hundred so i was at a diner as i don't know if you stood close to them a little i think though so. i'm looking to blow people up with exploding christmas presents and with those over they don't spend enough money in the north pole a good drug to send a closed so they conclude that beyond the waste of money and over regulation the expansion of the homeland security state has created unnecessary fear among a population that should be able to trust its government to send accurate signals about risk it's not about loss of fear it's about a population in a coma i mean if your population is in a coma and there are so invested by cheap booze and cheap cigarettes and cheap policies from cheap carpetbaggers they were making making hay there in washington d.c. it's not because

this is the department of homeland security which was created post nine eleven and the first year of its budget was two thousand and two the budget was twenty billion dollars last year sixty billion dollars so businessweek is saying that deal. h.s. has helped create institutional inertia its very existence suggests the domestic response to the threat of terror is of equal weight with defense transport health labor or for war in affairs it keeps large jess on a range of contractors all of whom have an interest in hyping the threat of terror to ensure the money keeps flowing oh that's right so the economy and of course that is totally fear based and in order to keep the vix manipulated down to a level people are saying i don't have fear because of the price of fear has been cheap they then pour money into the department of homeland security and they say that well the reason there's no reason to be fair falls because there haven't been any of these attacks even though statistically you have a greater chance of being you know eaten to death by ants on the top of mount fuji than being dyi

kept its involvement with stocks that a secret from the department of homeland security or the department of homeland security was lying and i want to number two on the list the head honcho of our intelligence agencies themselves director of national intelligence james clapper you may remember clapper told the senate that the n.s.a. was not collecting data on american citizens but snowden's very first leak expose how millions of horizon users american citizens had their data handed over to the n.s.a. clapper later apologized for misleading senators but his live prompted the president the united states to react to snowden's leaks by saying this this program by the way is fully overseen not just by congress but by the pfizer court and with that president obama became liar number one since edward snowden later revealed that the secret fisa court which is supposed to be providing oversight has given the n.s.a. broad authority to collect and store data on american citizens without any sort of warrant whatsoever in other words there really is no oversight as president obama claims so you can de

at the department of homeland security, i believe there are 15 senior division positions that are or will be vacant in the near future. at least six of positions require senate confirmation. i call this phenomenon executive ranch swiss cheese. congressman jason chaffetz, a republican colleague, puts the leadership predicament at the department of homeland security this way -- it is one of the biggest agencies that we have, and it has got one of the lowest levels of morale on record, based on surveys. when you have vacancies at the top, you have this agency that is unfulfilled, there is a total lack of leadership. he has a point. in six weeks we face the prospect of the department led by an active secretary and an acting deputy secretary. the issues this apartment deals with everyday are daunting, the threat of terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, on a 24/7 basis, border security, immigration reform, and the list goes on and on and on. this department has needed and will continue to be strong leadership. janet napolitano and the former deputy secretary has provided that the last four year

in six weeks, we face the prospect of a department of homeland security led by an acting secretary and an acting deputy secretary. the issues this department deals with every day are daunting: the threat of terrorist attacks; cyber attacks on a 24/7 basis; border security; immigration reform, and the list goes on. and on and on. this department has needed and will continue to need strong leadership. janet napolitano and former deputy secretary jane holl lute have provided it for the past four years. jane has already left and secretary napolitano will be gone by early september. all of us must feel a sense of urgency to ensure that we have the leadership the department needs in place. and soon. having a confirmed deputy secretary of homeland security will help fill this leadership vacuum. it is critical, then, that we carry out our constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent. although our nominee is currently the director of the agency that manages the largest immigration system in the world, as senator landrieu has said, i'm sure comes as no surprise to them when i say

of police departments well i mean for a long time it was mostly just the police departments themselves they were getting this equipment but after september. we start to see the department of homeland security giving grants to police departments to buy more of this stuff and at least with the pentagon giveaways this was stuff that already existed these d.h. s. grants are buying new equipment and so we've seen companies now spring up to make this equipment to sell these to these police departments of for these grants these companies then they're going to use some of that money to open offices in d.c. to make sure the program continues or expands and so now we have a police industrial complex sort of a little brother of the military industrial complex and that that's going to be very difficult to roll back well that actually is a excellent segue for me this actually yesterday morning ray kelly the police commissioner of the new york city police department or he does not bad for the wall street journal and he wrote quote as a city we have to face the reality that new york's minority communities experience a disproportionate share of violent crime to ignore that fact as our critics would have u

the department of homeland security has been a vigorous player in the immigration debate. a lot of deportations but also enacting the dream act executive actions. what does her departure mean? >> she's been the salesperson for this bill. she's testified before all sorts of committees that deal with border security. citizenship, visas, everything, i.c.e. , customs protection is under here. this is a very interesting time. on the one hand, republicans, not the biggest fans of her record so far. so in some sense it might give some cover to allow them to maybe get on board on on the other hand we're going to face a nomination for a new department of homeland security and that would -- that could muddle things up more. we'll have to see. >> you mentioned house republicans are not feeling the same pressure that republican party leaders are feeling on a national level regarding hispanic voters. can you explain why that is? >> uh, you look at the house and the average republican house district, is 75% white. the average democratic district is about 50% quhithe and a lot of the mino

since the gratian of the department of homeland security the committee's oversight efforts have examined the effective use of taxpayer dollars at the border. while the department is working hard to secure the border, there are examples of wasteful spending. for instance, sbinet which was intended to improve video surveillance at the border has cost the taxpayers roughly $1.2 billion. but sbinet has been deemed a failure. on april 22 the fourth of this year, members and staff of house oversight government reform committee, including myself, traveled the yuma, nogales, arizona, to assess the federal government's most recent efforts to secure the border. i appreciate the men and women that we interact with. we had a very productive trip. the committee also visited the detention facility in arizona. the committee learned individuals classified as otm, how the department classifies people, otm stands for other than mexican, accounted for roughly 900 inmates from 60 different countries out of a progeny 1500 in the detention facility. in other words, more than half of the people at the detentio

matter of economic and national security. , anhat was tom ridge outspoken supporter of the natural gas industry. >> he had a $900,000 contract. we noticed at the same time the department of homelandurity, which was the first chair, the pennsylvania department of homeland security started circulating bulletins to law enforcement that lifted anti- fracking organizations as possible ecoterrorists, which had no basis in reality. there had been nothing -- these people are doing democratic organizations. we discover the department of homeland security was circulating those bulletins directly to the marseilles shall coalition and other gas industry lobbyists and stakeholders. this was a scandal in pennsylvania which ended up with the dhs head resigning. tom ridge and a lot of -- three pennsylvania governors in a row have heavy ties to the gas to advocate for drilling and fracking without disclosing those ties in the media. describingreport purgatory agencies in democracy itself taken away from the citizens and that is really the journey and the question behind the new film. the first film featured a lot of people lighting water on fire, and this one is -- >> it is not just the industry.

largely focused on immigration concerns, napolitano has been the head of the department of homeland security. >> i am concerned that some of that will transfer over. her mind set, her ideology, her experience. everybody takes from their past experience in moving forward. and we're concerned that that's going to show up in future policies. >> reporter: in brief remarks to the press, napolitano addressed the protesters saying her goal is now to focus on academics and making the uc system as open as possible. >> look, i would say to those students, documented or undocumented, we welcome all students to the university of california. we are here, we're in the business of education. and i will be an advocate for that. i will be an advocate in sacramento. i will be an advocate in washington, d.c. >> reporter: napolitano will become the first female president of the system but didn't have too much to say about it when asked. the regents released a few details about her upcoming job, including her salary said to be $570,000, a bit less than her predecessor, but more than double her salary as head of

discussing new york city police commissioner ray kelly as the potential new head of the department of homeland securityas announced last week janet napolitano will depart in september. since then, a number of top politicos including chuck schumer and peter king have pushed aggressively for ray kelly to be named as a replacement, it's hard to think of a worse choice for this job or a more off message political signal for the president to send to supporters during this of all weeks. just yesterday attorney general eric holder told the crowd at the naacp convention about being racially profiled while running to catch a movie despite doing nothing wrong. that's quite the contrast with new york city's top cop. the data, the new nypd stop and frisk program speaks for itself, last year there were nearly 533,000 stops on the program. 97% of those stopped 90% were nonwhite. only 6% of stops resulted in arrests. that is just the tip of the iceberg. ray kelly is someone who called out the bush administration for not conducting enough warrantless wiretaps. spied on protester at the republican national convention,

but department of homeland security is according to humphreys fumbling in the dark. ed at the lack of action. >> this is a serious issue, you're right, cia and military understand and are looking at, and yet my belief is that department of homeland security has jurisdiction over the issue and are doing nothing to respond to this. >> reporter: congressman mccall and kol bert and collins asked government accountable office to look into what dhs is or isn't doing about the threat. a draft is due in august and could prompt congressional hearings. bret? >> i don't know, thank you. >>> pope francis is on the move again in rio dejanuary ear oh with another agenda for the fifth day of his trip. he is celebrating world youth day, hundreds of thousands gather to hear his message of helping the poor, getting active for one's faith. stirring things up, he said, quote, i want to see the church get closer to the people. >>> what does it mean and say about obama care that members of the irs who already to enforce it don't want to be forced into the system? we'll talk about that with
