dhs officials will be more candid. i reported a few weeks ago that dhs' top officials gave members of congress behind closed doors. they were worried about the possibility of violence on the part of trump's supporters this month because of the conspiracy theory that trump was about to be reinstated. a conspiracy theory that's touted. dhs is not going to say we are worried about trump supporters but privately when they are speaking behind closed doors, it is something they are not shy to explicitly talk about. >> ari -- >> margaret, i am running over on time. i want to give you the final word with one minute. i want to give in a jab with the pillow guy. it had nothing to do with figuring out who won an election. final thought to margaret, please. >> he probably spent half his fortune or if not more on those soft pillows trying to prove the election is stolen and he's expecting trump to move back in. you and i are off for the dayings he's got six more hours for trump, those moving trucks to pull up from florida. you know

that the dhs had. as i understand, some of the stockpile was outdated and proved to be otherwise not usable. where are we at now? we are wearing masks again, because the delta variant. who knows what absalom or foxtrot or whatever the next would be. where are we at with doing a better job of using the stockpile, so we don't have to go out and go to unknown vendors and get ripped off? >> thank you for that question. as mentioned, we have a number of projects looking at fema's readiness and preparedness. they are ongoing. and i would be happy to take that and make sure we provide specific and detailed response to your question. >> i would appreciate that. we are now sourcing the n95's in the united states. it would be greatly preferable. i got involved, there was a gentleman in texas, when 3m abandoned the u.s. to go get cheap labor in china, they abandoned the plant and this gentleman bought it. he wanted to ramp it up. but, it took quite a bit of convincing and controlling to -- cajoling to get fema to

is that a dhs issue? are you aware of the issue at dulles? gen. vanherck: on the siv numbers, i defer to the state department. i do not have that number in front of me. the siv numbers have not been in excess of 50%. i don't have the details right now. with regards to the problems at dulles, i'm aware of the longer waits that you described. we work very hard over the last couple days to make the process is efficient and effective -- when i say we, dod works with the process owner, dhs to streamline this, specifically customs and border protection, along with tsa who owns that process. some of the challenges our use of the proper vetting authorities to ensure that we look at the same ones and they are coming across we knew exactly who was certifying that. that is customs that was certifying across to the other side. what happened was if the improper system was utilized, they were being flagged as read on the receiving end at dulles. that should give you comfort, that we are not leaning toward more conservative and pushing them out, but ensuring ver

dhs was not prepared and we've got to be sure that dhs understands that's not appropriate going forward. it's very clear to us what will happen if title 42 is lifted for adults because it's already happened, or unaccompanied kids and families. it certainly is very clear to the border patrol. when i was down there earlier this year with you, mr. secretary, i had the chance to visit with a lot of border patrol agents and talked to them about this. they are very concerned, as you know. they said they would be overwhelmed the moment title 42 public health authority was revoked for adults. i just got back from a bipartisan delegation trip meeting with the presidents of ecuador, colombia, mexico, and guatemala. all four of these countries have sent more and more migrants to the united states over the past several months. all four of those presidents have said they want their young people to stay in their country. they don't want them coming north to the united states. they want them to stay and be part of the future of their own country. however, because of our broken asylum system, they're c

that said, i would say one of the biggest gaps at dhs has been on the intelligence side. it is still not clear to me who in the federal government is responsible for producing a strategic threat picture as it pertains to domestic terrorism. on the foreign terrorism side, you made it very clear that congress passed a law and the national counterterrorism center is responsible for collating and producing those national strategic threat pictures. nobody could do that when i was in government for the domestic terrorism space. nctc does not currently have the authority to work on that type of picture. so it is either the fbi or dhs and i'm not sure that either one of them is able to do that today in part because of a lack of data. >> thank you. i appreciate that very much and we will follow-up with you for some additional questions. i want to thank you, mr. greenblatt for the anti-defamation league's support for the price safed act. bipartisan legislation that senator portman and i introduced and that this committee passed last month. as we work to pass this bill in the full s

quoting dhs's intelligence chief now. quote, you have to pay attention to that which we are seeing right in front of our face. cnn's alex marquardt joins us, now. so, what is he talking about when he says what they are seeing right in front of their face? >> well, anderson, there are a number of concerning factors that have been addressed in this dhs bulletin. the way they look at these potential terrorists is really in two camps. the first, people who could be radicalized by foreign groups, like al qaeda. the second is more domestic, inward looking, like you mentioned. people who are motivated by grievances. people who are motivated by -- by racial extremism. by an anti-government sentiment. in that first group, that's where dhs is worried that there could be attacks, violence, in the lead-up and around the 9/11 anniversary. of course, this is the 20th anniversary, and so they are looking at that very closely. they do note that al qaeda, for the first time in four years, has put out their english-language magazine called

that's what dhs secretary is saying.unfortunately it's the result of the policies that folks around the world who want to come here are coming here because they believe the biden administration is a lax enforcement effort. that's what you're seeing with 50,000 people being told to show up to an i.c.e. office. much of their convenience. the immigration courts in the asylum claims are fraught with fraud and with folks that don't qualify. like you said in the story, it's only about ten to 15% are actually granted asylum ultimately. so at the end of the day, the biden administration and dhs and department of justice the to get this under control so that we don't lose control of our border completely and have unlimited illegal immigration across the southern border. >> kevin: obviously that's been a real challenge. one of the major challenges thus far for the biden administration, let me share a white house spokesperson responding to that audio. it says he, speaking of secretary mayorkas, was of course underlined the need for

some of the new reporting on a dhs warning. i wonder if you have any reaction to that.re is concern from the highest levels of leadership about the lies about the election, election fraud, conspiracy theories, and what they could do as it relates to the real world. >> we saw it once, but i think the dhs is doing their jobs. they work their own sources, being a little more on the ball about what is happening in their local environment. it is sad that we have to have this conversation they are knowingly spread the lies, but hopefully they're doing what they can to push back against it. >> i have to pivot now from that to infrastructure, right? you're a member of the bipartisan problem solvers caucus. they want a stand alone vote on this bill. i don't think you have signed on to a letter, the letter that we talked about at the top of the show, can you explain your think thinking? >> i think it is a little bit of an obsession with what order the vote happens in. >> it's a washington story because it is a story that members of congress and your colleagues are talking about a

it is incumbent upon the dhs secretary. he is an act of the president.so cull pennsylvania able to execute and defend the laws of the united states faithfully and they aren't doing that. that's the case. we can talk about the political stuff we dealt with with president job but this is their job. this is our border. our home. this is texas. we're getting hurt by this because of their inaction. it is ten times worse than most americans think. in our communities with we're dealing with it every single day and ranchs getting overrun and migrants getting into the sex trafficking trade and the secretary needs to go and the president needs to go after him if he won't do his job. >> harris: the dhs secretary from our own reporting was just griff jenkins is about to be asked will he put a moratorium on for a while to stem the flow coming across our southern border. >> bill: why won't he enforce title 42? i have the petition on the floor to move it now. enforce title 42. >> harris: i hope there will be journalists there to ask those very questions. thank you for

blamed the afghan military, you are down there with texas andnd the rest of the border states, the dhs and the joint chief of staff is warning about terrorism crossing the border as well, what do you say. >> i think what this shows in the last week or so is a complete failure by the biden administration in joe biden a lack of leadership and what happened is a tragedy using the images and this is all on joe biden in the ag's across the country as part of our job is to

. >> reporter: this is a very disturbing bulletin from dhs.se situations is put out these bulletins to tell the american public for the threats. and they break down the types of terrorists into two potential categories. those who are inspired from groups abroad like al qaeda, and those that have more of a domestic focus that are fueled by grievances that are anti-government or white extremists, for example. in that first group, they say that with the fast-approaching anniversary of 9/11, the 20th anniversary, that al qaeda could be looking to inspire potential attackers in the country. they note that al qaeda has just put out their english language magazine also called "inspire" for the first time in four years. and in that second category they say that the health restrictions that have been imposed because of covid, that could also fuel people to carry out some sort of attack. again, these are people who are motivated by racial grievances, these are people who might have grievances with the government. and another target, they say, could be r

tom bevan i do not trust dhs to investigate themselves, i don't.nderful your experience was while you're volunteering at fort bliss. it sucks, kids are being sexually abused and deprived pretty much everything. >> this is where the partisanship comes together. remember how the democrats reacted with aoc dressed all in white and an empty parking lot. the running of garments, and jen psaki gets a question says were looking into it that's fine that's the end of it. congress should investigate this, you are right for the should be investigations into this, the treatment of these kids. the fact there isn't and there's really not much of an uproar about it this far just goes to show the weight this issue has been politicized, the treatment they lasted menstruation got versus the current administration. kennedy: view want to treat people humanely, croissant streamlined the immigration system. that is the ultimate goal democrats have the hat trick right now. they have the majority and how to present it. so do something about it. >> i fully agree. they have

it remains an important responsibility of dhs and the fbi to assist these communities. as i mentioned in my testimony, the secure community network, an organization we started with a conference of presidents of major jewish organizations in the 2004 post 9/11 era isn't regular contact with the department of homeland security as it prepares to assist him in the effort. as i indicated in my testimony, mr. chairman, it's important that the faith-based nonprofit community be designated as a critical infrastructure, as have 16 other sectors of our community of the nation's economy and communal infrastructure. so as to require the department of home insecurity and the other federal law enforcement agencies to create a comprehensive approach to working with the faith-based nonprofit communities, as you well know. in our society, american society is structured, the partnership between governments and the nonprofit and faith-based sectors in the delivery of essential human services, as well as education and communal activities through all kinds is an essential partnership. recog

the second point is you brought up the dhs intel bulletin. people i speak to in counterterrorism look at it in two ways. it's not a particularly great product because it lacks a lot of trend information, a lot of data hard points, a lot of the type of specific and credible information that can help guide law enforcement. on the other hand, they look at it and say it is very indicative of this threat that we have in this country, built on disinformation, if you read some other intelligence products, that are driving this kind of anger and very heated rhetoric, and it leads to -- it doesn't matter whether the message is jumbled or not. it can lead to a very violent outcome and that is definitely concerning, nicolle. >> i know you guys have been covering this all day. i'm grateful to all of you for starting us off this hour. thank you so much to my colleagues, tom winter and garrett haake and thank you frank and olivia, for helping us make sense of it. >>> after the break, the white house celebrating a momentous new milestone in the pace of vacc
