they'll have to fund dhs, keep the country safe and all the tinges that dhs does. i don't think there'll be compromise or middle ground. there has been political defeat on the republicans. >> reporter: juan, when congress repudiated the latest action but went after dakar as well did you feel threatened? >> personally, i think a symbol as to what the republican controlled congress is aiming to do. i don't think my status koim in 2017. however, it's indicative as to what exactly the republican party had in mind and looking to 2016. and what the agenda its will be when tackling the executive action of the press, and edging on his legacy. when that is was passed. did you think "well, maybe this is more fragile. more subject to political whims than i thought it was after i applied." i've known that this is a temporary programme, that it's not a law by any means. what happened is congress and the vote that the house took it's symbolic. they said i don't think this will pass the house or the senate. if it passes the senate. the president has issued a veto threat to it. i

>> i would i would have to defer to dhs. [laughter] >> my understanding is that typically that does not happen. children would stay with the parent or parents with whom they cross the border. >> could it happen? >> i am not aware of it happening, but it is possible. >> i i have more questions. along the lines of the initial questioning involving contract facilities specifically for profit companies to take to get dhs to terminate a contract with an agency that is deficient? >> the legal provision you are referring to is has been an appropriations love for many years. if a detention facility fails an inspection for two consecutive years that facility may no longer be used. we have several layers of oversight. we have withdrawn from facilities regardless of whether or not a failed one or more inspections the violations were just conditions in general. >> other reports generated? >> the result in your determination to make. >> i don't know of any publicly available reports of when we have withdrawn from facilities but that is n

dhs may provide direct technical assistance upon request. for instance, following attacks on the financial services sector in 2013, and 2014, our united states computer emergency readiness team went on site with major financial institutions and other critical infrastructures to provide direct technical assistance. u.s. cert's technical assistance and technical data include identifying 600,000 distributed denial of service related ip addresses, and contextual information about the source of the attacks, the identity of the attacker, and associated details behind the attack. we have had a long-term, consistent threat engagement discussion with the department of treasury, the fbi, and private sector partners in the financial services sector. regarding the sony pictures entertainment incident, in november of 2014, the ncic was made aware of a specific significant breach in the private sector impacting sony pictures entertainment. cyber threat actors targeting sony used a sophisticated worm to conduct cyber exploitation activities. since that tim

i want to thank everybody here not just dhs but across government and the private sector because this is a shared responsibility. this center is one of the critical lines of america's cyberdefenses. these men and women work around the clock 24/7 monitoring threats, issuing warnings sharing information with the private sector and keeping americans safe. so as a nation we owe them thanks and as a nation we are making progress. we're more prepared to defend against cyber attacks but every day our adversaries are getting more sophisticated and more determined and more plentiful. so every day we have to keep upping our game at the same time. we've got to stay ahead of those who are trying to do us harm. now the problem is that government and the private sector are still not always working as closely together as we should. sometimes it is still too hard for government to share threat information with companies. sometimes it is still too hard for companies to share information about cyber threats with the government. there are legal issues involved and liability issues. sometimes companies a

afford not to fund dhs? >> no one's not talking about not funding dhs. >> congressman, i'm short on time. i'm going to jump in. here's the deal. the u.s. doesn't want to hear the fighting between the white house and congress. everybody knows the president said he would veto any bill tied to his executive action on immigration. can we separate it for the sake of safety considering what we're facing there in france and imminent attacks possibly here on our shores? can we get together on this? >> it's the president who's tieing them together. what we're going to do is fund security, the security of our nation. if the president of the united states decides he wants his unconstitutional action to take down this bill, he's going to have to explain that to the american public. the american public do not support his actions. >> i'm not saying that the american supports or not. i'm just simply saying you guys are the ones attaching the immigration executive actions to the dhs funding. >> no, no. these issues are tied

the problem has been under this administration that dhs has specifically instructed dhs agents overseascally not do their job, to not collect this intelligence. and when the intelligence has been collected, to show that the applicants coming to the united states with the visas in hand have radical backgrounds either connected to the muslim brotherhood, connected to the taliban, connected to even isis. they've been told to look away. i can tell you that personally having discussions with dhs officials and other agents from dhs who operated an environment that's orwelian. >> do you think france can get control of their country again and take over these no-go zones, stop sharia courts? i know prayer rugs are in just about every hotel if you go to paris. i have a friend of mine that travels there quite often. do they have the ability now to stop this? either assimilate or you have to go? >> that's a great question. i think they've reached critical mass frankly. i've said this before i think europe is finished. >> you think it's finished? >> there's a point -- >> a number in france actually

prior to joining dhs secretary johnson served as general counsel for the department of defense, where he was part of a senior management team that led to more than 10,000 military and civilian lawyers across the department -- a big law firm. secretary johnson oversaw the development of legal aspects of many of our nation's counterterrorism policies, spearheaded reforms to the military commission system at guantÁnamo bay, and co-authored a 250 page report that paves the way for the repeal of "ask, don't tell" in 2010. -- "don't ask, don't tell" in 2010. secretary johnson was general counsel of the department of the air force from 1998-2001, and served as assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. i first knew of secretary johnson from reading the memoir of former secretary bob gates. secretary gates has been around a long time, seen a lot of impressive, and maybe not impressive people, during his time in town. secretary gates has this to say about secretary johnson, and i am loading. he is the finest lawyer i ever worked with in government. a straightforward, clean-

of course, there is conductivity between the airlines and dhs. even for those who get authorization to travel, that is not guaranteed admission into the united states. just like the visa is not direct admission to united states. that is step one. that is at the individual level. at the government level, countries are required to adhere to a number of standards. we use information to populate screening databases that i just talked about. our databases are better because they are informed by information that our partner governments have. number three, countries are required to submit to periodic audits by dhs, on the security standards. government can see that their standards are up to our standards. if not, we can recommend changes and improvement. an understanding that even to make it into the program high-definition, usa every close and strong u.s. ally and partner. all this works together to create a strong platform to reduce risk to an individual traveler. host: if you or i wanted to go to london or sydni, you would just go online, buy a ticke

they'll fund dhs and do all the things that the dhs does, and then they'll lose the fight with the president i don't think there will be compromise or middle ground. there will be defeat for the republicans in the next six weeks or so. >> when congress not only repudiated the president's latest action, but went after doka as well. >> it's indicative what the republican party has in mind. not only for the next few years but also looking to 2016 an what their agenda items will be when tackling the executive action of the president and what he'll edge on his legacy. >> maybe this is more fragile more temporary and subject to wins. >> i knew it was a temporary program. it is not a law by any means or stretch of the imagination. what is happening congress and the house are getting purely symbol i can. i don't think this will pass the senate if if does pass the senate by whatever stretch of the imagination the president has issued a veto threat. i think that the status is here for the next three years but i'm cautious to see what we'll see to come as the situation develops. >> among the pool of dr

road in terms of the deadline that looms for dhs funding which expires next month. there is a draft report released on what they'll try to pass which excludes funding for the executive memoranda released by the president on immigration or dhs on immigration that the d funds effectively an executive action which isn't in fact funded by congress. i guess i'm confused and i oned earn if wonder if you can shed more light on what the republican position is on funding homeland security. >> let's do something symbolic and not something that will have a practical consequence or a desirable one. it's very much in line with the president over what we saw with the affordable care act and no one thought that litigation would go anywhere or be successful. i think they're looking to make a point on the homeland security bill even though it's not a practical way to do that and i don't think there will be much appetite on the republican side of the aisle to defund an agency that's responsible for protecting the country. so i don't think it's workable. i don't think it will be succe

of course we persevered and so has dhs ably led by j johnson. j johnson. it is our honor to have them at the wilson center for the 2nd time to address the state of homeland security. please join me in welcoming the secretary of homeland security. [applause] .. >> >> end part with no prior notice just a few feet from the building. this is the same spot today. the public parking lot is gone replaced by police vehicles and heavily armed members of the capitol police. sadly there are threats to our homeland security today that did not exist in 1966. the secretary is responsible for addressing those threats. one year ago i filled up my vision for the department of romance security. i was then new to the job not legislator i can give a progress report with the benefit of the year's experience. i think the wilson center and jane harman for right providing a forum. her wide support in this town people like her be the lot to people like me. on new year's day i set out new year's resolution of the hms. on top of the list with the manner of romance security. the real

we're spending $700 million a year through dhs on cyber security.this year alone in july, the obamacare web site was breached. the state department web site was breached this year and had to shut down for three days. and the white house computer system was breached. and if you're going to protect one basic kind of element, it should be those elements in the federal government. and if $700 million a year arthel, they were unable to even do that, it makes you wonder exactly is it about throwing money at a situation? where is the expertise? where is the seriousness about the situation? it's not just cyber warfare. we've got to consider this kind of blindness to actual innovation affects every single aspect. >> doug, your final thoughts? >> my final thoughts are it has to be done in a bipartisan basis. we are not going to secure a part of america that's democrat or republican and we just seem that the sony -- seen with the sony hacking that north korea almost certainly did this and finally the obama administration is getting tough in putting more sancti

obviously dhs stepping up screenings at airports across the country.y credible threat known right now to the intelligence community? >> there's not a known credible threat that's out there, but what we've been able to accumulate over of the last six days is a tremendous amount of data the result of who said and cherif might have communicated with by telephone, by e-mail. then one other attacker and the female that's in syria today accessing their communicationing and those nodes are going to give the french tremendous capabilities give us tremendous capabilities. >> is there anybody in the united states that the kouachi brothers or any of the others involve nd thed in the attack that were in communicate at all or anyone who was thought to have been in yemen at the same time any of them were? >> too early to answer. the question was asked today without an answer. we're still running a tremendous amount of data. i think it's likely that there will have been some u.s. connections that were made. maybe it's individual if we know about it. maybe if it's ind

>> our dhs colleague. colleague.more generally, i believe chinese cooperation on the north korean issue organization has improved. i would.to their cooperation on the un security council passing a resolution act. as an example of how their cooperation as improved. it can improve improve further command we we will continue to work. when they think about strategic interest -- >> but my question -- we are limited in time. i understand all of that. when it comes to this topic cyber security, their hands are dirty. why would we count on them to help us bring in north korean cyber security attacks when they are engaged in it with all four paws and snout. >> one of the reasons is when they saw the company attacked like this in such a destructive manner it should have been a wake-up call to chinese that they are also subject to irresponsible attacks. >> i'm sorry. we're running out of time. thank you. >> as we take a look at information sharing and the common threats and vulnerabilities when we have a common thread some of t

congress is responsibly funded dhs and will continue to do so the. miss pelosi took an oath just like i did and every other member to defend the office we serve in congress, the article 1. she needs to chas styes the president for taking the authority away from the congress. miss pelosi's comments were wrong. >> you know, equating homeland security with an immigration measure is more than just a little apples and oranges-isn't it? >> well, she is basing that on the refers the dhs appropriations bill funds much of our immigration enforcement and security, but she is suggesting we're not funding those activities. that's simply wrong, dishonest and misleading to the american people to take attention off of an issue that is very serious. the president by executive amnesty, executive order wants to grant temporary amnesty to five million people. that is a role of congress to have that debate. what we are doing in this bill is attaching a provision saying, mr. president you can't rule by executive order. there's a constitution. >> when she says you're hold

at home, playing games with the dhs budget i think, is total lunacy.ess passed a continuing resolution for the budget for the next year, except for homeland security, which expires in early march, the point was to protest against -- president obama's executive order on immigration. well, hello. dhs is the department in charge of the wording threats -- wording trusts against our homeland. that cannot stand. congress has to protect the people that these representatives were elected to protect. let's start with that. second point -- let's also not hyperventilate here. there is no credible evidence i'm aware of some part of the u.s. is under threat. it has to be reviewed, but i do think that we have very good people at dhs and a superb secretary, jeh johnson, doing their jobs. >> this is olivia. i have a question about the source of all this. a lot of people are turning on the tv, seeing this terrible slaughter, hearing these rumors that the gunmen were yelling allah akbar and thus were linked to islamists. no one has claimed responsibilities. one sources

john boehner doesn't think this dhs bill will pass as is. is in emerged because hardliners in the house wanted him to pick another shutdown fight in december. and rather than have them revolt against him when the speaker election came up or actually shut the government down one more time he reaches around to find something to give them and it was this plan to make homeland security funding contingent upon defunding daka and deferred action and throwing out prosecutorial discretion and knowing it didn't pass in the senate and even if it did, obama would veto it. i think their opening salvo is only in that he is forced to issue them by an element in his conference that he wishes would just quiet down. >> brian, i'm confused because you talked about how the republicans campaigned on certain things. i thought what they campaigned on was the ability to get things done. if you gave them the house and the senate they could get things done and they would go to the president's desk. i'm totally confused. >> are you really? >> be still my heart. i don

what i think dhs will need to prove quite frankly are the metrics. how can they be able to describe the fact that they really secured the homeland and really actually securing the border, which as we know, 700 million -- 700 miles of the border remains unsecure right now -- >> just take a look at the banner right there coburn report, 3 in 100 undocumented immigrants will face deportation. that's 3%. that means most illegals don't face any deportation. is that a good enough track record? >> well, what senator coburn in his retirement leaving us with parting words did have favorable words for the secretary of homeland security and faith and confidence that we will address the issues. but the main issue or to answer your question we are seeing a reduction in -- we're seeing an increase in deportations. we're seeing less coming over the border and we have gone from 1993 where we had 2,000 border agents to nearly 23,000 border agents. so steps are being taken. what big step needs to be taken is for senator coburn to maybe draft what he did to the public i

that amendment would prevent dhs from spouses were waiting for a green card to get work permits. it would include work affordability which helps raise wages and reduces exploitation. the amendment would prevent the administration from using its parole authority and national interest waivers. both created by congress to capitalize on the innovation of foreign entrepreneurs and make green cards available to accomplished entrepreneurs and generating revenue. the amendment would block a series of initiatives designed to promote the integration of immigrants and refugees into our community's and to help lawful permanent residents complete the nationalization process to become u.s. citizens. the only november 20 executive action not blocked is the one pertaining to pay increases and workforce realignment. the message this sends is that pretty much the administration has done over the past six years is the removal of the parents of u.s. citizens, to promote legal immigration, citizenship promote immigrant integration spur entrepreneurship was somehow an unconstitutional use of power but

this amendment is not unnecessary, however it's also harmful because under the dhs policy. it was careful consideration of domestic violencing conditions must be given because we want to make sure that victims of domestic violence are not treated as a high enforcement priority. and here's the situation that can occur. in some jurisdictions when there is a domestic violence call, all the parties present are arrested. and the theory being sorted out not in the living room with the battling bickersons, but at a later date. often times one of the victims may simply plead guilty to a minor offense to get out of jail, we believe and the president has directed that there should be scrutiny to make sure you're not saying in that case a victim of violence is treated as if they are to offender. this amendment would nullify that. the fourth amendment is an amendment by representative thompson, and it's based on a premise that i believe is false which is that the president's immigration actions create an incentive for employers to hire deferred action recipients instead of american wor

the dhs funding bill was bi-partisan.ou may have thoughts on the dhs none of theed ing bill that would stop efforts by the administration on deportation. the line on the screen: the house comes in at 9:00 o'clock today to take up and take action on that bill. we will go to the house at 9:00 when they come in. let's go next to tommy from michigan independent line. hi, tommy. caller: howdy. i want to report some snake oil with regard to illegal immigration. yesterday, there was an interview. one of the border patrol bosses. his name was michael fischer and somebody asked him the question about whether the terrorists were help to go blend in the people coming across the border. and i know for a fact two albanian young fellows that the way they get in to this country illegally is they go to mexico and they dress up like mexicans and walk across the border. if you've ever been near the border, there are thousands of people that walk across the border every day to go to their jobs, whatever kind of household jobs or whatever th

pass the dhs bill. the republicans should have learned their lesson when they attempt to shut down the government because the small group of them feel so strongly that they are right and everyone else is wrong. it is a loser substantively because the security is at stake and the loser politically because americans don't like that kind of hostagetaking. >> thank you. >> the senate judiciary committee has finished two days of confirmation hearings for president obama's nominee to be the next attorney general. if you missed any of today's hearing we we will have it for you in its entirety tonight at 8:00 o'clock eastern on our companion network. also the senate armed services committee held another hearing on us national security as former secretary of state henry kissinger entered the committee hearing on today it was met by protesters from the group code pink. here is what happened followed by a response from community chair john mccain.

dhs expected 23,000 total flight hours per year, but it's only logged about 5,100. it has claimed that the drones would operate along the entire southwest border, but according to the inspector general, they did not. armed predator drones have been used on the battlefield in afghanistan and pakistan. here along the u.s. border predators are used strictly for surveillance. customs and border protection says it disagrees with the report's portrayal of the unmanned aircraft system program. last year agency officials say in missions contributed to the seizure of $253 million worth of cocaine and marijuana. they also led to weapon seizures, arrests and the detection of nearly 8,000 suspected illegal immigrants. customs and border protections says it is not planning an expansion of the program at the moment. it plans on purchasing one additional drone. scott, right now there are only nine. a tenth drone was ditched off the california coast a year ago. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom tonight, jeff, thanks very much. fingerprint scanners are supposed to be

speaker boehner took to the house floor in the past hour addressing a controversial dhs funding bill making no mention of the incident. investigators say hoyt threatened to kill boehner in october, saying he thought the speaker of the house was the devil and responsible for the ebola virus. court documents reveal hoyt even e-mailed boehner's wife telling her i could have poisoned his wine many many times. nbc's luke russert joins us. luke, obviously the allegations are true the access the man had to the house speaker are chilling given he was a bar tender and was there many times. >> it is frightening, in fact. we know that john boehner sort of knew mr. hoyt as a bartender at his local ohio country club and the speaker is often there playing golf and enjoying merlot two of the things he likes to do in his off time. the other thing, tamron that's chilling about this is the fact is that mr. hoyt did have a lot of weapons at his home. it was found at his home the ammunition for an sks assault rifle. thankfully his mother in fact actually took the rifle out of his apartment when he wasn'

the statute authorizes dhs the permission to work. it makes deferred action recipients eligible. some say deferred action is fine on an individual basis, but not a whole class. nothing obama says that. every modern president has graded reprieves from removal and work permits to defined classes of undocumented immigrants. at immigrant, the secretary's november the lowest those with clear, careful repeated instructions to officers, even if the general criteria are identified, they have to make individualized case-by-case discretionary judgment. the very form they are used when they are denied deferred action, tonight more than 32,000 times contains the list of the reasons. one of those reasons is discretion. i think this is the way an agency should work. it articulates general criteria than expects officers to use judgment in applying those criteria to individual cases thank you very much for your time. >> thank you chairman crosle grassley. i ask youi want to begin by saying i have great respect for miss lynch. her extraordinary career as a prosecutor pays great credit to her and

>> well dhs is increasing the number of random screenings for domestic flights.know earlier a few months ago, they said they were going to do more random checks of flights coming from certain overseas airports to the united states. they say that they're increasing some of that in the united states before people traveling domestically with hand-carried luggage. dhs also said that they're going to increase their presence at federal buildings randomly don, because one of the things that we know that we've seen in some threats from isis and also from al qaeda groups and that they're asking their followers to carry out attacks against federal law enforcement, u.s. law enforcement officials. and so the question is, whether there's a greater danger at some of the federal buildings. >> thank you, evan. joining me now, professor of security studies at university of massachusetts and the author of bombshell and undercover jihadi. you are a remember toformer jihadist. i want to ask you about the video of amedy coulibaly. he identifies himself as a soldier of the caliphate.

that's one of the things that dhs and all of the u.s. intelligence agencies are looking at. since the attack happened they've been combing through everything they have looking at intercepts imagery, information for any clues about who might have been behind this and whether they had any warning it was going to happen. so far they say they had no clues about it. one of the remarkable things here wolf it doesn't exactly fit the profile of any of the previous attacks that had been seen which had been so-called inspired by isis or al qaeda in yemen or al qaeda in general. this is very different. it's causing a lot of concern from the u.s. point of view obviously the top priority is to get the perpetrators as fast as possible find out who they are, where they came from and 23 there are any more out there. wolf? >> well they're on the loose right now. there's a massive manhunt under underway in france. the vehicle they drove away in has been recovered. i'm sure forensic experts in france are going through that carefully. but these three terrorists remain at large. our special cove

>> dhs calling for part of your question. more generally i do believe chinese cooperation on the north korea issue, all dimensions of it, has improved in recent years. i would point to the cooperation in the u.n. security council for passing a resolution act of a north korean nuclear test last year. as an example of how the cooperation has improved. i think they can improve much further and will continue to work on persuading the chinese that when they think about their strategic interests unconditional and defending north korean. -- >> but my question, we are limited in time, mr. ambassador. i understand all that in general but when it comes to this topic cybersecurity, their hands are dirty. why would we count on them to help us rein in north korea in separate attacks when they are engaged in it with all four paws and it's not? >> i think one of the reasons is that when they saw our cabinet sony attacked like this such a destructive manner, it should've been a wakeup call to the chinese. the chinese are also subject to a re

>> it is coming up together right now because the funding for dhs runs out on february 27. it is only mid-january. republicans are working ahead of time to make sure homeland security is funded. that is because they want to attach controversial legislative language that basically ghut -- guts the president's actions on immigration. it is kind of the opening salvo to the debate over funding homeland security. >> five amendments, one of them being offered by house republicans, including a pennsylvania congressman. he sent out his tweet about this amendment. he said most of his priorities in defunding amnesty will now get a houseboat this week, including daca. what would this amendment do specifically? >> it is interesting to see how the debate moved considerably to the right. the conversation originally began last week. it was looking at overwriting executive actions the president allows -- announced last november. it could affect up to 5 million people. but what he and other members of congress including those who wrote the legislation, want is to go over older executive act

what is most important is that the president told the dhs that they did not do it, so it is hard to say that that is self-help of the ordinary sense, and it raises a bunch of difficult questions when you raise the possibility that the president raises the possibility to deport anybody as a justification for just departing for hundred thousand a year. he did not have the manpower or the money to do anything else. what i want to ask everyone else is what the you think of these situations of the presidential aggrandize met of power -- aggrandizing of power? how should that have us think about aggrandizing presidential power as opposed to other situations in the administrative law cases, someone could take him to court? >> well i think the problem that i dealt with and there is a possibility of judicial review and it is a very long road and the president could raise taxes either unilaterally or authorize access to the debt ceiling those ponds would be radioactive, and when redemption occurred, -- those bodsnds would be radioactive, and when redemption occurred, there could be a line of loaw

now, you're at a higher priority within dhs.sensitive subject,é@clp dhs itself has a target onjfÑ its back politically because of the association with the very highly charged immigration issue.< how do you see thatÑi playing out? everybody else has a full-year budget. you don't.#: f1 o what type ofe1 ñhçó -- needs to be done to protect the coast guard in this Ñienvironment? >> again back to the marketing and sales at expect of this job. so with 114 congress my responsibility is to engage, you know, the many overseers, t," appropriators, the authorizers that impact the coast guard budget. indicate that we are part of you kno- the third largest federal agency in our government is the department of homeland security.lp number onexd is dod, number two isñr veteran affairs. number three it the department of homeland security. just on that oknoteyor asked does the coast guard fit well in the department of homeland security?r external environment challenges opportunities but strategic document and not a fist pounding, saying i ngayl mo

, sorry, dhs memo, i'm forgetting the exact phrase that you used to describe it, but this memo is one in a series of very similar memoranda about exercising favorable discretion that go back between, i mean, this argument has obviously been made. this is something democrats and republicans have done. but this is on a slightly different level within the agency. these memoranda are issued time after time, and they continually incorporate previous memoranda. and so from a certain perspective if we're talking about immigration law and prosecutorial discretion, i disagree there's nothing new here. i think this is both extraordinary and ordinary. but if we want to focus on the ordinary side for a minute, we should recognize these memoranda look very much like the ones that have been issued since the '70s and '80s under democrat and republicans alike. >> yeah. i may have -- [inaudible] good bye. [laughter] well, the world is coming back again. with respect to the first question, just think of the fully buster. during the republican years, the democrats said get rid of the filibuster it's the

we saw this because often times is a dhs attorney was unwilling the immigration judge would agree to it. another example as to do with him to thesis in which the department of state and the legacy both share jurisdiction over interpreting the actual requirements developing interpretations and told one went out. another example has to do with mandatory detention program which light level officers refuse to comply with the idea should mandatorily comply. these two features, positive redundancies within the agency helps us to see the change not just from te top but from the bottom as well and helps contextualize and provide normative support for some of the nd of broader prosecutorial discretion programs are talking about today. presidential presidential action is not about starting from scratch but rather trying to make policy that reflects what is already a long-term agen practice administrative common-law. this rectifies inconsistent behavior among various line officers .-dot trat like cases and like ways. replacing an absent judicial review because these enforcement provisions. ofte

and each year after that presidents would send their messages dh would be read by the clerk of the senate and the house rather than bit president. and, of course, most members of the congress could read it in the congressional record or in the newspapers. they didn't necessarily have to go and listen to a clerk reading the message. that became the tradition. again, the constitution is not that specific about what it is. just time to time this message needs to be given on the state of the union. in 1913 we had a new president who had been trained as a political scientist. in fact, he had a ph.d. in history and political science, and that was woodrow wilson. and he wrote his doctoral dissertation about government. he felt the american president needed to be more like the british prime minister. couldn't just be completely separate from the legislative branch. had to be the chief legislator as well as the chief executive. and so wilson decided that he would go in person to deliver his messages. the first one he did was in april of 1913 and it was about the tariff. it wasn't a state of the un

have the two of you figured out how to approach issues like of dhs funding bills where there is disagreement between the chambers, and also a difference of what can actually happen? how are you going to do that -- >> the house will work its will. the senate will work its will. then we will get in conference and we will find some way to resolve the differences. that is what we call regular order. that is the legislative process. there are 535 of us on capitol hill, and to try to get all of us to agree is not an easy job. the founders never envisioned it to be easy, and it is certainly isn't. each of the chambers has to do what they are capable of doing and then we resolve the differences. >> the president is try to be too much of the position that has passed in the keystone what , do you think could be the first piece of legislation you pass that the president will sign, and do you believe that climate change is real? >> well, on the areas of potential agreement, cyber security, trade promotion authority are two things that i think we are likely to end up in the same place. the president does

we have the dhs deputy secretary who was also at that summit that meeting today. but that arm in arm photo op that the world will see -- >> let me be clear and under store what you're saying and what pat and john have said. this is a moral abdication of our role as the leader of the free world, the fact that the president of the united states was not marching to the vice president wasn't marching, the secretary of state wasn't marching, this is just terrible, harris. >> can i read this to you? please. >> security requirements for both president obama and vice president biden are too distracting. >> white house is just plain wrong. this is about every nation, every nation devoted to freedom, liberty and universal values. the fact that we weren't there is an abdication of leader shin and it's not distracting it's central to our role. >> it fits a pattern of this president who does not like to project american power and to be the leader of the free world. he's the first president ever who didn't like it. >> you have a president who's not an american exceptionalist in
