we also represent dhs federal needs for firstnet use. so we have large law enforcement presence within dhs. they work in very difficult areas in this country that doesn't have sort of a lot of traditional two medications coverage. think about the border. these are very sparsely populated areas very difficult to build towers, et cetera. so working with firstnet as a build of how to make sure that a law enforcement needs our target as well. >> host: what are you most proud of in the last year that you worked on? >> guest: there's a lot of things. i think the things that i most proud of is, i feel like, well, a couple of things. one is i have an amazing work force, was that they're working public safety communications interoperability, whether they are working to restore communications after the massive hurricanes that we've had, just tireless working with the companies to get that done. the number of cyber incidents we had respond to and done it well. they all really rose to the occasion, it's a tremendously proud of this organization. we'

at least dhs we didn't have the mechanism. we probably didn't really even understand there was such a thing who is frankly one of our biggest partners but the elections assistance commission. there was not a strong relationship between these two. now we have governance mechanism which is just a really bad bureaucracy way of saying we work together cletsly. two years ago we didn't. we have communications protocols. if i need to get a piece of information to any single state out there i can do it. i can do it quickly. and whether we -- it's a classified piece of information if they have a clearance, great. we can get it to them. if they don't have a clearance we declassify quickly. but if it's that actionable we deal with the consequences later. we'll get the piece of information so that the network defenders can protect themselves. beyond that in terms ever technical support we are providing assistance across the board. right now we have done about 35 vulnerability assessments for large jurisdictions states and counties. that i

it is true for the dhs. u.s. -- your spin is reflection of your priority, priorities and your values and under your authority dhs notified congress that dhs transferred tens of millions from a variety of dhs components including the u.s. coast guard, tsa, fema and i.c.e. to find detention and removal of migrants including children. is that correct? >> these were year and monies that were not going to be able to spend their cash in at the end of the year come into the fiscal year, towards the end of the fiscal year. each department goes back through all of our allocated funds to do if there any that will not be used. we put that into a pot. part of that pot went in at the emerging threats such as the one senator mccaskill mentioned which is we do not have enough detention space for those of we need to hold for single adults. >> you to transfer funds? the answer is yes? >> yes, and we notified congres congress. >> congress doesn't be to demand in terms of funding for detention centers or border wall constructi

. >> we are a member for dhs to represent public safety of interoperability and that has been around for a long time. we also represent dhs federal for first net use with large law enforcement presence to work in very difficult areas without a lot of traditional communications coverage with a very sparsely populated areas it is very difficult so working with first net with federal law enforcement. >> host: where are you most proud of in the last year? . >> there is a lot of things. what i am most proud of a couple of things. as an amazing workforce whether communications, interopy working to restore communications just tireless to get that done and then to do that well. and then to rise to the occasion and i am tremendously proud of this organization. and we have done well to raise awareness in public and in congress with our unique mission and how important it is. and we have made real tangible progress not just talking about it but it is important to talk about it but we have taken real tangible actions to help those to understand. . >> but if i had to pick one thing it would be to

so we have large law-enforcement presence within dhs. they work in very difficult areas in this country that doesn't have a lot of traditional communications coverage. think about the border. these are some of the very sparsely populated areas. they build powers, that her. they build that out to make sure federal law enforcement be as well. >> host: what are you most proud of in the last year? >> guest: there's a lot of things. i think the thing that i'm most proud of is i feel like a couple of things. one is i have an amazing work for us. whether working in public he communications, interoperability , whether they are working to restore communications after the massive state of hurricanes that we've had, just tireless working with the companies to get that done. the number of cyberincidents we've had to respond to and done it well. they've all really rose to the occasion. i'm tremendously proud of this organization. you know, i think we've been in the limelight like we haven't really been before. i think we've done well. i think we've r

your authority, dhs notified congress that dhs transferred tens of millions of dollars from dhs components, including the coast guard, fema, and i.c.e. to fund the tension and removal of migrants including children. is that correct? moneys that were .ot going to be able to spend at the end of the fiscal year, each department goes through our allocated funds to determine if there are any that will not be used. we put that into a pot. part of that pot went to any emerging threats, such as the one senator mccaskill mention. we do not have enough detention space for single adults. >> but the answer is yes. >> yes, and we notified congress. >> congress does not meet your demands in funding for detention centers. continue this practice of transferring funds >? we will be a good steward of taxpayer money. we will divided -- divide it. >> i asked the executive associate -- and the acting deputy of customs and border protection. how long is too long to detain a child? -- the long-term consequences and trauma with detention on children? neither could give me an answer during that hearing. how long i

the dhs strategy works around in identifying risks.hat's an element i'll come back to a couple of times. the second is reduce vulnerabilities, the third is reduce threats. and the fourth is mitigate consequences. and the final is enable more effective cybersecurity ecosystem. what does that mean? let me tell you the way i think about dhs is to do that i like working through where we've been to get to where we are to where we're going. some of this is technical but a lot is psychological, as well. let's go back to 1957. the russians launched "sputnik" into lower orbit beating the united states to space. not just in terms of the satellite up there but doing it quite a bit bigger than we would have done it. much heavier satellite than we were contemplating at the time. that did a couple of things. one, the realization where we had a technological advantage. what happened as a result -- we regained that technological advantage. that's technical. what was the psychological? in addition to the realization that we were, you know, weren't the

dhs has a much better understanding of how dhs works. that understanding of the state architecture and infrastructure is everything to us, i can assure you as secretary williams has said, we know who to contact in the states to talk about activity incidents, whatever the case may be, more importantly, they know how to contact us and reach out to us, which i think is the most important thing. >> why don't we go over here? >> i'm unaffiliated. it's comforting to see how much attention is being paid to assure the voting process is in fact accurate. in spite of all of that, since the elections are so close. what do you estimate is the error rate in the counting of votes. that's question number one, question number two is, i've gone canvassing now in virginia, and the biggest difficulty is among people who have recently moved to the state. it's not an easy process to registrati registration. >> i would address that fairly quickly. i don't know the exact number, that's one of the things that the eac surveys in terms of our report to congress d

she later served as principal deputy white house chief of staff before being confirmed dhs secretary in december of 2017. earlier, she served in the george w. bush administration as special assistant to the president and director of preparedness for the white house security council. she also spent considerable time in the private sector focusing on cyber security, so she knows what she's talking about. the department of homeland security has been charged with the vitally important task of protecting u.s. elections, cyber systems, and critical infrastructure. these are fields where the decisions of u.s. government officials and policymakers can have global implications. and in this rapidly changing information environment, threat management collaboration, , transparency, and resilience are urgently important. so i think i speak for the audience when i say we thank you for your public service and look forward to hearing more from you. just for the record, this is swedish house but nielsen is actually part danish, part danish and part italian, right? the house of sweden, nevertheless, g

has dhs taken a position? >> we have not but i would be happy to speak with you about that. >> when we talk about what is it going to be that is going to help us and senator carper is here and he can talk about that further, but we agree, so it's always nice when you can find those things that we all agree on, we all agree that the worst thing for these families is to migrate north. it's a dangerous, dangerous journey. many times they're indentured for their lifetime, paying office people who traffic in or actually smuggle human beings, we have to keep those two terms separate, but i don't -- i really believe that this is the sweet spot working with the ngos and communities if, in fact, we are going to recognize which is where we maybe have a point of conflict, that american law allows for people to seek asylum here and we'll have to have a structure for in fact responding to the asylum applications and so we would really appreciate it if you would take a very hard, close look at northern or at the northern tr

i will give so much credit to the eac and to dhs.them hiring matt was a master stroke because here's someone who already had a relationship and developed trust with election officials around the country. they have been making an effort. meeting with us at the local level. coming to our meetings. trying to learn what is it that we do here? and it really has and i understand. i could be wrong. if you want to correct me, please do. we stood up at our council. i'm a founding member. you are as well. we stood up and had our communication protocols in . ace quicker than any other government coordinating council or any other of the infrastructures which just goes to show you not only the commitment of the government court mating councils which are secretaries of state and county clerks, but also our federal partners to making sure they relationship is working the way it should. john: if we could do this for another 59 minutes, it would be fine. why is it that important? it is important because information is being shared and being shared re

that is a goal that echoes the goals of dhs proper. my three main priorities is to focus on homeland security, faithfully using our immigration laws and moving the nation into an electronic world. more specifically, i want to bring uscis into the 1990s. i want us to get there, and from a technological side, get us there so we're where we should be. i want to go through some issues that you probably all are familiar with, and i think it will show my dedication to these issues. first, the issue of public charge. you probably heard in the news about the proposed public charge and what that might mean for immigration in this country. i would like to speak a little bit about that now and how i view this proposed regulation. self-sufficiency has been a basic principle of legislation since the earliest immigration laws. indeed, you may probably know that at the time of the 1996 we will -- welfare act where congress set out several principles. going back to the late 1880s, the public charge has been in law and has, to different levels over the

vendor that works with the dhs is to comply with basic security. we've also used the operational directive when needed. >> at this point is there a greater threat from the manufacturers in this case let's say china that is trying to gain access to information in the movement of information in the united states? is there a greater threat from china, how would you describe that? >> i would echo the description, the day are bringing everything they have to bear. they are trying to influence in every way possible. we do see them active in the cyberspace, so we take that andn the intel community and share it with the private sector so that they are up to speed on the indicators that might apply. >> you have a voluntary co-op rotation to helco-optation to hr insider threats. how are the airports working with the fbi very aggressive as a lot of other employers that are there. we work very closely with agencies in dealing with airport security. >> there are several that have said we will do our own. who will be the council tha couu would provide them? been

we now have an election dashboard with dhs and the fbi. we look at real-time information as to any threats that might be on the horizon. we m are caught to focus on howe can do this. i can go into detail and ask about all the different things we've got in place. >> a lot of the issue you talk about, a lot of the new aspects funded through some $380 million in federal funding that is gone now through help america vote act funds. vermont got about $3 million worth of those funds. how did you choose to use them? >> first, let's talk about the 380 million. i was working with senator leahy to get the money released. that was left over hanging chad money from 2002 stimulus the remaining portion of the three-point line alien dollars where it ended out back in 2002. so this is money that we knew had heard he approved. they needed to be appropriated. many of theee secretaries were pushing the congressional delegation to try topul move ous quickly as possible. obviously most of us didn't receive our money until june and we have been focused on thing

in addition, dhs is proposing to limit how the rule would apply to active duty and reserve members of the military and their spouses and children as well as certain children of the u.s. it is incumbent upon the u.s. government to evaluate applications in a manner consistent with federal law. and i believe the public charge regulation is a necessary step to achieving that goal. indeed, that regulation is necessary. as i just said. there is no definition for public charge in the statute or in the regulations. an attempt was made back in the late 1990s to -- well, a proposed rule was published back then, but never finalized. i think this regulation for the first time will definitively state what that means, what public charge means. the statutory provision of 212a 4 is there. it is a ground of inadmissibility. it needs to be administered. we can't administer it or enforce it if there is no standard by custom to enforce it. i think it is appropriate and correct that we issue this regulation and it is appropriate that thing regulation be put out for public comment for 60 days. during that

we have as other mission goals protecting the homeland what is the mission of dhs. then to pursue on homeland security with immigration laws and moving the agency into a electronic world. and found that technological perspective going through a number of current policy issues into those three priorities. you probably heard in the news but it might mean for immigration in the country. and with that proposed regulation it has been the basic principle since the earliest immigration laws. you may know at the welfare reform act it was part of the law that was codified in us statute and then there were several principles and going back to the late 18 eighties with the different levels that has been enforced. despite the longest public charge to have insufficient guidance to apply for a visa it requires that remains in the united states and the ina makes it any alien in the counselor officer with the secretary of homeland security the time of application for admission is likely at any time to become a public charge. based on the public charge grounds that is set forth maki

the statement from dhs is, to me, mind-boggling. especially the part that says, we'll continue to have de facto open borders that guarantee future caravans and record numbers of family units entering the county illegally. this basically says that the border patrol is not necessary, they're irrelevant and can't stop anybody from crossing a border. get to the point of entry and hang on. what in the world is going on in dhs if they can write nonsense like this? >> oarks, i think the men and women of the dhs that are actually doing that job, they catch -- lou: this is where we get the -- i've worked with the border patrol. i've supported them. ly give you the generic go get 'em. this is from dhs headquarters this is the nonsense that's leading the border patrol. you know, i.c.e., you know, customs, border patrol, i mean, this is a mez. >mess.>> yeah. lou: that is what i can't believe is going on in a trump administration. >> and it adds the incentive for people to try to come north instead of protecting the message of strength and piece

dhs can confirm there are gang members and criminals from the caravan. and people from the middle east traveling through mexico. dhs is not confirming any of them are terrorists or any proof for its claims saying it is law enforcement sensitive. the president with senior commanders in the room said he's considering military options for the border. >> thinking about a lot of things. thinking about everything including the military, not just the national guard. the military is what i'm thinking about. we can't have people coming into our country illegally. >> what could the military legally do? >> they can do a lot. they're the military, right. they're the military. they can do a lot. >> the president also doubled down on calling himself a nationalist while denying there are any racist overtones to that term. >> there's a concern that you are sending coded language or a dog whistle to some americans out there that what you really submaria white nationalist. >>. i'm never heard that. i'm a nationalist. i never heard that theory about being a nationalist. we

the court, a criminal alien does not become exempt from mandatory detention by the happenstance that dhs did not arrest them immediately or promptly after they got out of jail or prison. the best way to illustrate this point is to look at the stat ta attorney gener tory text. the prohibition against releasing a detained criminal alien on page 4 of our brief. what it says is that the secretary may release an alien described in paragraph 1 only if it is for witness protection. it's undisputed that the witness protection does not apply and this categorically prohibits the release on bond of anybody who is an alien described in paragraph one. the question is who are those aliens and paragraph 1 it's on the prior page, and it just answers that in no uncertain terms. it says, the secretary shall take into custody, quote, any alien who is inadmissible or deportable under these different provisions that relate to their criminal history or terrorist activities, and so an alien described in paragraph one is any alien who is inadmissible or deportable under one of these provisions. >> what meaning

she had been his deputy at dhs and was the one who convinced president to lead dhs.n bolton saying she wasn't essentially doing her job and needed to start doing it and that set john kelly off and led to this argument and an argument in this west wing is normal. it's really bitter and divided, and there are people arguing on a regular basis this. led people to think john kelly might resign. someone who has threatened to resign in the past when he and president trump disagreed and people thought he genuinely could resign because he saw president trump siding with john bolton adding to john kelly's fury. he's not traveling to the president to montana, wasn't scheduled to, but john bolton kept about his schedule going on with meetings this afternoon. a really ugly fight that startled people in the west wing and that sees a lot because they see a lot of fights here. >> david? >> these are both tough guys with very thick skin. >> does john kelly have thick skin? >> john kelly has pretty thick skin and it's a very small space. people think watching the show on tv it's this

dhs initially identified 21 states that were targeted, mainly in the form of scanning or, in layman's terms, checking to see if any doors or windows were open. prepare for a future attack. all of this appeared to be an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. we now believe all 50 states were likely targeted in the same way. ultimately, and we want to be , any attempt, whether successful or unsuccessful to interfere in our elections is an attack on our democracy. it is unacceptable and we take it very, very seriously. we know our upcoming election is a potential target. our adversaries have demonstrated capability and will. we have talked a lot about misinformation campaigns and influence in the form of misinformation. i will not touch on that today only to say that we all need to be intellectually curious and make sure the news we read is from a legitimate source, and then make our own determination as to the validity of the information. being watched not just because of the politics, but because of the security. where working very closely with state and loc

history ofong supporting dhs.ow, more than ever, we have a well-established relationship with the department of homeland security. our cyber security personnel and critical infrastructure. homeland defense is inextricably linked with the department of homeland security's mission of homeland security. as weion able patriot, have named the military operation supporting cbp, is the latest example of this critical partnership. in a macro-sense, we will build up texas, arizona, and california. we will reinforce priority points of entry so as to enhance cbp's ability to harden and secure the border. the specific request for assistance is for active duty military to enhance the capabilities of cbp by providing robust military capabilities. our first level of effort will be to harden the points of entry, and to address key gaps. here is a list of things we will bring. the garmin corps of engineers will bring amazing expertise under challenging conditions, including the work of building the border wall. we are also bringin

she was at dhs when he was the dhs secretary.e brought her over to the west wing when he was chief of staff. he was the one who persuaded president trump to nominate her to leave dhs. president trump actually sided with john bolton on that remark. i'm told that only added to john kelly's anger here. people walked away from this argument thinking there was a significant chance that john kelly could resign over something like this. that's how angry he was. now, he's threatened to resign in the past. people have seen that as an empty threat. when he got in arguments with president trump. but don, i'm told by sources inside the white house that this was a really unusual fight and they've never seen it be so heated between john bolton and john kelly before. >> kaitlan, let me get this straight. the president was present for part of it but later denied knowing about it? >> reporter: that's right. he was there at the beginning because he sided with john bolton. that was a pretty big part of this argument. that then when the president wa

we have a relationship with dhs to do that. we're in constant contact with our i.t. department for things that they will help us with, but i think having a paper -- we do paper poll books. so if the information were not available to us, we could recreate everything we need to to conduct the election. >> i want to change directions and talk a little bit about -- we're in washington, d.c. -- the role of the federal government in all of this. as i said in the introduction, congress and the president have gotten grief about not doing much in the face of a hostile power attacking our elections in 2016. i think that may give folks the impression that the federal government is doing nothing. i know you've been involved with some of the steps that the federal government has been taking since 2016. maybe you can talk a little bit about that. >> sure. the first thing that happened was in january of 2017, secretary jeh johnson and the obama administration named elections as a critical infrastructure sector. meaning there's a level of federal involvement, federal care that is au

>> really, dhs needs to get act together, they gave a very narrow denial about chinese spy microchipsand amazon said no, we don't have a problem, here is the thing, dhs cannot possible certify that supply chain is free from these attempts, we know china is trying to infiltrate and hack, heather, i'm not as concerned as midterms, dhs has a strong plan and system dispersed but we know that china is trying to infiltrate and use infected software to get into u.s. business, that's how china does business and that's a real threat. heather: we know that they've attempted to interfere in elections before, unfortunately we hear all about russia but we don't hear about china in the past, right now secretary pompeo meeting with foreign minister in china, do you expect this topic to come up? >> i think it will, obviously pompeo will debrief on north korea, but there's been a truth in the cyber war between china and the u.s., that maybe off due to the tariff and trade disputes so i expect pompeo to raise the cyber hacking and china's long history of intellectual theft, we know they've hack intoed

as a result, i think it is very possible that the flow of this information did not go through dhs. terms of what happens next, michael, one of the more medium-term implications -- what are the more medium-term implications? michael: with this kind of attack, there is actually a physical artifact. there are chips on motherboards, other kinds of manipulations of technology. what i think is going on is, lots of companies who buy supermicro products are looking for those manipulations in their thatcts, and it is likely we are going to find that and see a different kind of response. vonnie: read the story on bloomberg. our thanks to michael o'rielly. right now, indices are flat on the day. this is bloomberg. ♪ comcast business built the nation's largest gig-speed network. then went beyond. beyond chasing down network problems. to knowing when and where there's an issue. beyond network complexity. to a zero-touch, one-box world. optimizing performance and budget. beyond having questions. to getting answers. "activecore, how's my network?" "all sites are green." all of which helps you do

and he was the won who convinced president trump to put her in to lead dhs. that set him off. but the question is, this has sparked resignation fears. people think that john kelly could resign over this argument, and that it was so bad, one person equated it to a falling out, and said they were worried he could resign any minute now. >> do we know what the disagreement revolved around? was it just around secretary neilson, whether she was doing a good job or not? was the president involved? >> reporter: the president denied knowing about the screaming match, but sources said president trump was there for the beginning of it and he sided with john bolton because he agrees that he doesn't think kirstjen nielsen is doing enough at dhs. we knew from that recent reporting. president trump essentially dressed her down at a cabinet meeting, saying she needed to do her job, echoing what john bolton was saying today. so it's a feud that's existed between john kelly and john bolton, but so far we've never seen it play out in the public like this. >> what did the white house have to say

dhs recently posted to its website, a notice of proposal we're making regarding the public charge and its admissibility. the proposed rule i don't think has been published yet in the federal register, but should be very soon, within days if it hasn't already been today or friday. the proposed rule, if finalized would change the standard that the dhs uses determining whether an alien is likely at any time to become a public charge and is therefore inadmissible and ineligible for a visa, admission or adjustment status. the proposed rule, once published, will allow the public to comment for 60 days and provide inputs how the public charge grounds of admissibility should be administered. this rule, is finalized from abroad immigrant or nonimmigrant. and aliens seeking residents in the united states. and aliens within the united states who hold visa and seek to either extend their stay or change from nonimmigrant status. this rule would not impact the vulnerable alien population congress exempted from the public charge grounded inadmissibility, including ref fees, asylees. crime victims, c
