election integrity which is obviously extremely important are prioritizing them first bar goal over the coming years is going to get to developing the ai systems and hiring the staff necessary to be able to proactively review more of the content as it's coming into into the system. will never be perfect on this you know our adversaries especially on the election side people are trying to interfere will have access to some of the same ai tools that we will so it's an arms race and will need to constantly be working to stay ahead but our vision for how we should manage the system is going to move from one of reactive management as people in our community flags things to one where we're poor proactively. having systems look at the content flagged things for tens of thousands of people to review and we're already making significant progress and doing that now a number of you mentioned specifically issues around fake news. so i want to talk a little bit about our roadmap for for addressing this because the bottom line here is that nobody on facebook or off facebook wants fake news right no o

exposed than we should be. >> how about the reaction from facebook on the private sector and election integrity rep. schiff: well, i think facebook is taking some of the right steps to any -- and sure any advertisers are subject to more disclosures. facebook has a lot more work to do, our intelligence agencies will need to work more in cooperation with the tech companies so that when we see bad actors overseas manipulating social media, that they can share that information with the social media companies. i think there is also risk to the technology itself -- the voting technology at self and people in silicon valley believe it is more vulnerable than vendors of the technology would have us believe. >> thank you for being our guest this week. rep. schiff: thank you carried newsmakers is back, our guest was adam schiff, the lead on the house intelligence committee and their port person on the desk point person on the russian investigation. it is the one-year anniversary of the mueller investigation. we heard the representative talk about timing. let me put out the senate putting out the report o

: secretary nielsen explains in addition to russia china and iran are considered threats to election integrityut the kind of interference the intel communities worried about is the same kind detected in 2016 where ballots aren't changed but social media is manipulated to cause chaos. >> we remain concerned on the foreign influence side. >> reporter: details like that did not hassle democrats who did attend. >> there was nothing i couldn't have read in usa today that was revealed. the fact that there was low attendance doesn't matter. heather: the secretary of state calling demands for iran unrealistic. >> it is not a fantasy to a mediterranean's making a decision not to fire missiles into another nation entering american lives, travel through the airport. these are simple requirements the iranian regime could easily comply with and it would benefit the iranian people to an enormous extent. heather: and the ballistic missile system, along with other things. if iran doesn't comply, they face tough economic sanctions. the demand seen as an alternative to the iran nuclear deal which donald trump w

if we have an adversary threat actor, then we have a real risk to election integrity. that's the first point. the second point is we have to expand the class of attacks that we are urgently concerned with beyond the already quite serious risk of silent vote shifting in elections to the more general sew sowing of chaos and the doubts of elections as a way of undermining faith in liberal democracy. that's i think bad news because from a computer scientist and computer research perspective, attacks that look to effectively deny service, to make things not work, are easier to mount than ones that have a specific goal in mind that they try to induce, and in particular, i think you can compare the quite realistic but fairly involved scenario that alex laid out with one that would simply find any jurisdiction, any precinct, anywhere with a few hundred voters and just return a million votes for one of the candidates. you don't have to be undetected, getting detected, getting found, getting noticed is part of the attack. part of undermining the faith and the correctness of the e

elections and other critical infrastructure. the fbi has the lead on countering foreign influence, which we hear a lot about and is part and parcel to this conversation about the integrity of our elections. provided the threat overview for not just russia but other foreign actors seeking to do harm by undermining our electoral processes. we all share one very important goal, which is americans vote must count and must be counted correctly. we are working with state and local partners to do that. the second major objective was to ask congress to help us raise that awareness. to work with state and local officials and the state to ensure the state and local officials haven't they need, whether they take advantage of the many offerings dhs provides, giving -- using third parties or growing organic capabilities. we did provide a full resource guide. has many offerings we are providing. everything from exercises to information sharing to hygiene scans and vulnerability assessments. we created governing structures and partnerships your we are here to help, so we are continuing to have a to see what state and locals need and how to help them as best we can. we all remain commi

election. members of congress are concerned about drug prices. and going to manipulate information and so i want to thank the secretary and the department for its hard work to help protect the integrity of our election system and provide the security necessary. i think it is important to note that none of the boats were the votingst of machines are unplugged from the internet which gives a safeguard protection from the internet cyber influence. the data roles possibly could be manipulated. i feel confident that chris who in the secretary will do everything they can in their power to protect our system. >> we are told may be only 40 or 50 members attended this reppo -- this. they have been talking a lot about this issue. we were a little surprised but not as many showed up, but everyone that did was given the opportunity to ask any question they wanted. i thought the witnesses give very full responses to all of the questions. again, we have seen a lot of cooperation to provide congress with the information we need moving forward to protect the 2018 midterm elections. of speculationt with the obama administration. -- at thenk you are time i encouraged the imitation and obama to come fo

when you look across the other issues that we face, whether that's protecting election integrity, makingthat countries like russia can't interfere in other elections like they tried to do in the 2016 u.s. elections. we just have a lot of work to do here we're confident we can get in front of this. this is a top priority for the company right now, to make sure we do a good job on this. >> mark zuckerberg's world tour continues, having testified now in washington, brussels and in paris with the q & a today we'll keep an eye on that. we are awaiting the president, who is about to sign some of those rollbacks of dodd/frank in a few minutes. we'll be listening to see if he makes any comments at all on north korea. to raise the curtain on that, we turn to eamon javers on a busy thursday eamon? >> reporter: i think the president will want to say why he made this decision. we'll see whether he does or not. this will be his first opportunity in front of the accuracy to explain to the public why he canceled this summit a couple of questions we want answers to, whione of which, secretary of state m

. >> secretary nielsen said china and iran are considered threats to election integrity but that kind of interference they are worried about in 2018 is the same kind elected in 2016 where ballots aren't changed by social media is manipulated to cause chaos. >> i think we remain concerned certainly on the foreign influence i've heard we have seen that continually. >> details like that did not dazzle the democrats who did attend. >> i didn't hear one bit of classified information. there was nothing that i couldn't have read in "usa today" that was revealed. so the fact that there was a low attendance, it doesn't matter. >> this was the rare russia-related event on capitol hill that happened behind closed doors, so it's going to be very interesting to see if the hundreds of lawmakers who decided they didn't want the classified update today decided to show up to the next russia hearing where the cameras are rolling the whole time. bret. >> bret: peter, moments ago the house passed legislation to ease banking rules, essentially a reform of the dodd-frank law. what do we know about the bill

professor holk first developed expertise in technology security and directed the scepter for election integrity at cleveland state university. working on election security led professor holk to seek training at carnegie mellon university where she earned a master's degree. and she was a cyber security engineer with the cyber and risk resilience team before returning to cleveland marshall where she is now. to her right is dean logan who needs no introduction in the election community nor does -- well, honestly, none of these panelists do. dean logan is the register recorder and county clerk for los angeles county, california, the nation's largest, most diverse local election jurisdiction serving more than 5.2 million registered voters which, of course, is more than some states. in addition to serving as the supervisor of elections, dean records rural property documents, maintains birth records and does a lot of other things. but one thing that's very interesting, he serves currently as the president of the california association of clerks and elections officials. and he has more than 25 years in

we're a national group doing work on trying to make elections more transparent, have more integrity and with as much public oversight as pop. i'm heartenedded by the support that i hear from so many people today for open source in san francisco. i'm thrilled of that the city that i grew up in looking at taking the lead on this issue, and i want to support the idea of fully allocating the funds for this project. thank you very much. >> great. thank you. next speaker. >> i'm jennifer haggy, a volunteer with the california clean money campaign. i urge you to support full funding of $4 million for the open source paper ballot voting systems. thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my name is chris hamilton, i'm a volunteer with the california clean money campaign. over here this morning from the are you februarthe -- republic . >> i'm a member of the open source voting advisory committee to the elections commissions. i urge you to appropriate the $4 million we asked the election commission to ask you for. i think san francisco can be a leader in the nation here and it can succeed where travi

so i want to thank the secretary and the department for its hard work to help protect the integrity of our election system and provide the security necessary. none of the boats were change. most of the machines were unplugged from the internet which gives a safeguard protection. the data rules could possibly be manipulated. i feel confident and chris who heads up the cybernet -- unit. and they will do everything within their power to protect their system. >> are you worried that your colleagues may not be taking this seriously. they have been talking a lot about this issue. we were a little surprised that not as many showed up, but everyone that did was given the opportunity to ask any question they wanted. again, we have seen a lot of congresson to provide with the information we need moving forward to protect the elections. >> the obama administration did not raise the alarm loud enough. >> i think the secretary has as well. gang of eighthe everything i had at the time. administration to come forward and call of the russians for what they're doing and there should be consequences for interference

elections in general. we are seeing attacks on sites that people can use to find their polling place or both online. making sure there is integrity in our entire election process is really critical for a democracy like the united states. the department of homeland security says outward senses are detected in 29 states. is that enough? matthew: elections are inherently local, they are run by someone who is on their own, a county administrator and that goes up to the federal level. these people feel very vulnerable to the widespread attacks that are there. but the department of homeland security has done is a great first step is understanding and getting a landscape on what is going on. then needs to be additional effort to harden and support those administrators that are helping to support this democracy. emily: 29 states is not 50 states, jonathan, you have been doing a ton of research, give us a little more on the status when it comes to where states are and what they are working on to prepare. as you mentned, we d reporting last year where 39 states were targeted by the s and the 2016 election. the department of homeland securi

i know for sure the intellectual -- election integrity space. there are organizations popping up. the difficulty we are all seeing is having them move at the speed we're moving and trying to have as we areersations trying to make decisions in real time. the elections are not stopping and they are always happening somewhere. i think -- and trying to bridge the gap between people who have been around for a long time who are very smart and may not understand the tech issues and linear technology is being used. there will be a bit of time in terms of bridging that gap to have that common understanding to help us solve some of these issues. -- ive fast with stable think that's all the time we got. thanks everyone for the insightful questions. there will be a lunch upstairs. everyone is invited. there is such thing as a free lunch. restrooms are on the second floor and lunches on second floor. see you up there. thanks.

>> tucker: what i find is hilarious is when democrats care they pretend to care about the integrity of electionsall they care about is power, you know that, and whether their candidates win. that's the sum total of what they care about. to pretend you care about integrity is ludicrous, that's not the truth. >> we would've had impeachment hearings. >> tucker: russia has a lower average life inspected sea than bangladesh is secretly in control of our country. [laughter] >> it's not secretly. >> tucker: richard, it was great to see you. thank you. s >> tucker: north korea has responded to president trump's cancellation of a planned summii and astonishingly, their message is not angry. s north korea's foreign minister says his government is still willing to sit down with the united states, "at any time, at any format." and is "willing to give the united states time and opportunities to reconsider today's cancellation." not quite sure what that means, but we'll continue to follow this story because it's amazingn well, the russia hoax is backfiring. democrats are now trying to do another tack going in

election. there is nothing, nothing more serious to the integrity of a democracy than the guarantee of free and fair elections. founding fathers warned about foreign interference. when i used to read that clause in high school, i said what do they mean? that's not going to happen. well, they are a lot smarter than we are, as always. they knew this danger, and here it is 2018 and we see how real it was. it's what's the core of the special counsel's investigation. the investigation has already yielded multiple indictments and guilty pleas. yesterday, the senate intelligence committee in a bipartisan manner confirmed that russia sought to interfere with our elections to sow discord and tip the details against donald trump and secretary clinton. the trump administration itself has taken punitive action against russia's actions in the robert mueller investigation, and i salute the chairman of the intelligence committee, the senator -- the republican senator from north carolina for being straightforward about this. not so many on the other side of the aisle are. yet again this morning, president trum

positive place for conversations about civic issues, the second is of course protecting the integrity of elections and the civic sphere generally. in that space we are doing a lot of work. we have invested in talent, technology that are attempting to do four basic things, first, combatting foreign interference, making sure governments can influence the elections of other countries or nations, second, we're moving fake accounts, you know, authentic conversation is important and a lot of what we're seeing on facebook and in public spaces comes from accounts that are inauthentic in some way so we're working hard to identify those accounts and not just take them down, but also stop them from being created in the first place. we have rolled out a number of ads transparency initiatives so that people know where their ads are coming from and why they're seeing particular ads. last, reducing the spread of false news. as bridgette said, identifying what is and isn't false news is actually an incredibly tricky operation so we work with third-party fact checkers and aim to reduce the spread of that informati

election. so i do think that the trump administration should be doing more to protect the integrity of our elections. whatever else is happening. >> a quick follow-up on that and then to the audience tft idea of what the homeland security secretary said. the specific point was i don't know that i've seen proof the russians were trying to help trump with their meddling. have you seen proof that was their intention? not the meddling. that's obvious now. that they were out to hear trump specifically. >> let me say, and i'm hype the talk about. this we started out talking about the election. what we want to talk about is the future and what we propose to do and making america better for families, better jobs ber, better future. all of these are a responsibility but they're a distraction from what the american people are really concerned about. the integrity of our elections is very important. the intelligence community made an assessment. they made it known january 2017 that spoke directly that to point. and i accept their assessment. >> so the russian investigation is on people's minds. >> thank you fo

election, and they didn't investigated, wouldn't that be an enormous story and an abdication of this, then that is appropriate, as well. you have got an agency whose job is to maintain the security and integrity that they serve, and they felt that they had evidence that there was russian interference, russian undermining of the election, and they didn't investigated, wouldn't that be an enormous story and an abdication of their responsibilities line, as well. it is the way that you frame it. if you say that the fbi were investigating to ensure that the elections were clean and honest, but if you are phoning it in the way that was framing it, whether trying to undermine the trump campaign, you get a very different answer and response i wanted, because i kind of like that supporters. if i started saying, i hereby demand, would you listen to me and do what i wanted, because i kind of like that language? fourteen countries in the americas have recalled their ambassadors from venezuela, protesting against president nicolas maduro's landslide victory in sunday's elections. the vote was marred by an opposition boycott and claims of vote—rigging. critics say voter turn—out was even lower than the rep

we're looking to come a but certainly want to always look for the best way to preserve the integrity of our election. >> also, was he aware that the republican national committee in may of 2011 had resolution for -- condemning that plan? >> i'm not sure if he is aware , but i am pretty sure that the president is more than happy at times to say we thinks is right, whether not that there was a statement made many years ago contrary to that. >> i have a couple on one policy. you mentioned the afghan attack. the president said he was supporting mike pompeo because he now agreed with the president at the time is that withdraw from afghanistan. does the president agree with that characterization? updated't have any policy guidance on that front. we laid out our afghanistan strategy just a few months ago and there is no change to the policy at this point. >> on iran, the question of what it means to withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement has come up a couple of times. in the president's of mind does that mean immediately reposing sanctions what are -- re-imposing sanctions what are called snapback or doe

was anything that changed the outcome of the election but i think that all of us, republican, democrat, independent, need do everything to make sure the integrity of our elections is sound. and i think that our election officials need to do the same. >> host: next is crystal from pennsylvania. democratic line good morning. >> caller: good morning, steve. good morning, mr. spicer. give me an opportunity to make my comments. mr. spicer, you and trump is the lyinges people i have seen. this administration lies every day to the american people, and you are talkogy about the republicans will get back into office. i ever u will never, ever vote for another republican gain. my salary has not increased. nothing has changed since i was working during the obama administration. i pay nor n gas prices so nothing hat changed but you, the president, and his families, to me are the biggest criminals ever. >> host: crystal,? i respectfully disagree. i hope things get belter and argue this country is a better place over the last year and a half. both economically and security-wise, and our safety and the relationships abroad. so i wish you the best and hope you

if it's a real election which it wasn't. the integrated 84 original regional. it is the easternmost election into the organized humor. one basic agenda item. this is not an election unless not only is it permitted to run. and i think this has been quite successful. you have all of these. in the muscular unit. now they have dozens of regional headquarters operating all over the country. the number of people contributing to the funding. and it's multiplied the number of volunteers are participating by five. it's really a very significant growth. they have demonstrated that. it's not an election. .. .. which is been totally a product of our campaign. in 2017 campaign wouldn't exist, but to address the ideas that someone representing the opposition should be on the ballot we had shown the new way to organize a campaign, to organize politically in russia because it's proven it's possible. that people are rude to participate, to engage in political activities, to turn out all over the country. not only in moscow, not only in population over a million but all citizens

election. i think all of us need to do everything we can to make sure the integrity of our elections is sound. i think our election officials need to do the same. wilkes-barre, west virginia, democrats line. caller: good morning. give me an opportunity to make my comments. thespicer, you and trump is lyingest people i have ever seen. this administration lies every day to the american people. anotherever vote for republican again. my salary has not increased. nothing has changed since i was working during the obama administration. i pay more in gas prices. nothing has changed in my life, but you, the president, and his family are the biggest criminals ever. guest: i respectfully disagree. i wish you the best. i hope things to get better in your life. ways thisgue in many country is a better place both economically and security wise. i wish you the best, and i hope you like does get better. host: from north carolina, charles on the republican line. caller: good morning. how the media treated josh earnest and gibbs ence, and thenver i look at your experience and see the hostility with sarah today

rank second in the house behind my wife left we are kind to call the strike and conduct elections with the most integrity but we are not in control of social media. facebook say you need to take this down but i would like to know do you have digestion or election officials or secretaries in the when we see things that just don't write, what should we do? good question. something that is a challenge for everyone. but also across the board in society. on facebook you can fly we monitor proactively looking potentially for false news but also flags from the community and also the third-party fact checkers if it looks to default and we reduce that by 80. those that still see that information for the given context within to use the same information with a particular article that is shared that the signals are better for the future. feedback but if you have that community play of roland by deposing. >> absolutely. to encourage election officials that appears to be false or for no other reason and then it goes through the appropriate channel channels. >> and the see something say something will should apply to c

it undermines the integrity of our election pross. >> it was put forward by a group of people who wanted tmake sure that a conservative governor never got elected again. >> so, the reality is, we're not happy with it. >> blatantly oosed to it. very unconstitutional. >> sreenivasan: the issue that united them is how the winner in their election will be chosen. instead of voters just picking their favorite candidate in maine's primaries on june 12, ey will be listing their choices in order from favorite to least favorite, and the votes will be tallied ing a new system. it's called ranked-choice vo here's how it works. let's say there are four candidates. voters fill out their ballots indicating their preference for rtrst, second, third and f the results are then counted. if any candidate gets more than 50% of the first place votes, a majority, he or she is the outright winner. idt in a scenario where no one gets 50%, the cae with the fewest first place votes is eliminated. and now, three are left. yo your first place choice is now gone second choice moves up on your ballot and becomes your

this is about the integrity of our elections. this is what we do when we take an oath to protect and defend the country. not to go have a fundraiser in texas. so understand, i objected to it, period, because this information should not be going anyplace. if it goes anyplace it should be the gang of eight, but we would not go to a meeting two weeks from now if they insisted having this and the gang of eight meeting in two weeks. this is beyond politics. it's beyond any -- beyond president trump. it's about our country and how respect for the rule of law, respect for our need to know. i've been a fighter for congress' need to know. any president will tell you that i've been in their fighting for congress need to know when they needed to know. but anything that relates to the president's defense of his -- of his investigation is not a congressional need to know. yes, sir. reporter: leader pelosi, mr. schiff has said he received assurances that general kelly will not be in the meeting. have you heard anything similar? ms. pelosi: cer

>> certainly what we saw, especially in the months leading up to the election, is how integrated thee rest of the world. it is that way in shipment of products, products going out, products coming in. it is that way in the movement of people, and it really always has been in the united states. right after the election in 2016, deb and i were in wyoming which went for donald trump by a huge margin. people there, if you asked them about national politics would say, oh, we're so glad that donald trump won, at the same time they were saying, we hope nafta doesn't get upset because we have so many exports. we hope that the immigration flow doesn't get changed because that's such a part of our workforce. so there's this weird disconnection between the practical-minded, open-mindedness most people have in their own circumstances and the switch that is flipped when you talk about national politics. >> do you think they're voting for personality rather than policy, because if the policies are hurting them in some ways they're voting against their own interests? >> i will tell you what i reall

. >> reporter: as the national debate over election security focuses on ways to protect the integrity state officials know firsthand what it's like to be targeted by moscow. hackers struck the state's voter rolls starting in june of 2016, in the heat of the presidential election. at one point, they hit the system five times per second. in some cases, voter names, addresses, the last four digits of social security numbers, and other personal voting information were accessed. up to 76,000 voter registrations were breached with the greatest concentration, 14,121, in the city of galesburg. that's almost half the city's population. galesburg's mayor takes it in stride. >> the russian woulds be making a serious mistake if they came here. [ laughter ] with hostile intentions. >> reporter: the hearings apparently sympto stumbled on te city's computer number randomly. while they say there is no evidence any vote was changed, the fact that the rush surveillance could gain access is alarming. >> we probably don't take kindly to outside interference into our plight political process. >> reporter:

presidential election >> we weren't prepared enough for the kind of coordinated misinformation operations that we are now aware of. since then we've made significant investments to protect the integritys by making these kinds of attacks much harder to do on facebook and i have more confidence that we're going to get this right going forward because we've already done a better job in several important elections since 2016 >> he added that facebook has been using ai to remove fake accounts and the company will be rlg out other measures reducing fake accounts later this summer. back to you, melissa. >> thank you very much aditi we said before one of the traders was an uber bull on facebook and i'm guessing that it's sieberg. >> guessing? come on. at $150 we talk about -- >> you hated it now you love it. >> pull the tapes. loved it at $150 i'm not chasing at these levels, running out and buying the stock aggressively i'm buying any pullback however i do think this will clean up fine for them. it's a show me story for next quarter. look, this company is growing earnings at 40% this year and i think 25% next year. that might be low. it is a really compelling story. growth backdrop is stron

worry about the bottom light and shareholders and it is the government to root out election meddling and preserve the integritythey have been slow to do it. would argue with that, else say it is google, facebook, twitter struck to make sure the sixth of happen. tom, google today announced it will require election at buyers to come from their residence or a permanent resident, are there things that they are doing too little too late? facebook is going to incorporate more disclosure so you know when you look at a political ad. some of the things social media companies have never been required to do up until now, there's a bunch of disclosures that tv, radio companies papers, have to incorporate when they are running political ads. social media has not been subject to that and that is something that social media has objected to and tried to keep it at bay. at this point they realize they have no choice. so far, to have done very little, although that is changing. 2018 midterm elections are going to be very much a litmus test of twitter, facebook, google are ready for 2020 elections. andar it has been minimal, up

election the russians used an american entity to place their ads. how would it prevent a foreign entity? >> wee a are doing everything w can to ensure the integrityh a verification process but it's not the only step. we're using technology with machine learning as well as people to evaluate whether or not those ads are legitimate. and we're also asking people on facebook to report ads so you can click on the right-hand side of any ad on facebook and you can tell us a lot of things can say if you never want to receive an ad from that advertiser again but also tell fuus if you think this is a political ad that should have been labeled. >> how much do you think people will engage with this? sometimes we've seen with social media, people like to enforce their existing views of things and pass that along to other people. how much do you think people will look into see who is behind the ad and go down that lane? >> we think people genuinely want to understand who is trying to influence them. we also are going to make an api available so news broadcasters and third party watch dogs can also look out for whether or not somebody is trying to influence bot
