from a 30,000 foot view, you were one of the top officials of the department of homeland security. is our homeland less secure with president trump in the white house? >> i believe that it is less secure, jake, for a number of reasons. first of all, the mr politicalization. also the chaos that exists within the department and the low morale that results are certainly a problem. the fact that during donald trump's presidency, the senior leadership of the department was pushed to spend nearly all of their time on imgraig amigratio border security issues, which are very important, but there are many other very vital functions the department of homeland security carries out to secure the nation. unfortunately, those sometimes get short shift because the senior officials are being pushed to spend most or all of their time, 24/7 on immigration and border security. they are important, but they have to be looked at in context. >> miles, does that square with your experience? >> that's right. at the end of the day, the department of homeland security does so much more than border and immigra

but from a 30,000 foot view, you were one of the top officials of the department of homeland securityur homeland less secure with president trump in the white house? >> i believe that it is less secure, jake, for a number of reasons. first of all, the politicization of the department of homeland security, which has only gotten worse over time. also the chaos that exists within the department and the low morale that results are certainly a problem. and the fact that during donald trump's presidency, the senior leadership of the department was pushed to spend nearly all of their time on immigration and border security issues, which are very, very important issues. but there are many other things, many other very vital functions that the department of homeland security carries out to secure the nation. and unfortunately, those sometimes get short drift because the senior officials are being pushed to spend most or all of their time, 24/7, on immigration and border security. again, they're important, but they have to be looked at in context. >> miles, does that square with your experience

this is the department of homeland security, mr. maher and a simple question, but i'm going to state the obvious here. don't you have a responsibility to protect federal property? >> yes, we do. under title 40 we have a specific statutory responsibility to do that. >> so you were doing that. you're providing intelligence in portland, seattle. you're feeding these reports i know that go out around the country, correct? >> correct, yes. >> we've even seen some foreign involvement in these protests around the country. it's pretty alarming. antifa is not an idea, mr. maher. it's a radical group, and there's a lot of groups like them. and i have no idea why the democrats would be protecting antifa. this is bizarre, bizarre strange events we're witnessing right here. and hopefully someone in the media will cover this. but i doubt it. yield back. >> mr. himes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. maher. what is truly bizarre was the ranking member's statement any democrat would protect antifa. that's never happened, it's never been a

john maher is performing the duty of under secretary of analysis at the department of homeland security. he's here pursuant to a subpoena issued this week. it became necessary when dhs continued to slow walk the security clearances for the whistleblower mr. murphy for his attorney. the committee expects hearing witnesses to answer its members questions but today the issuance of the subpoena compels you to answer them fully and completely. in opening our investigation on august 3rd, we asked finished intelligence and raw intelligence reports produced by ina. on august 19th we requested additional documents as well as testimony from senior dhs ina officials. on sent 9th the committee released by the former head of dhs intelligence and analysis office brian murphy who alleged serious miscon duck related to our ongoing investigation. following substantial back and forth the department agreed to make available a number of witnesses for transcribed interviews and to provide some, only some of the documents we requested. however the department is still with holding the vast majority of documen

their attack on the leadership of the department of homeland security. the only reason mr. her is subpoenaed here today is leverage. it's fooforce dhs to rush through top secret security clearances without the appropriate background checks. in fact, there was no reason for the democrats to make this whistle-blower complaint public at all. but of course the whistle-blower complaints with discretion as this committee had always done before this congress is not helpful for publicity stunts. so here we go again. let's recall the democrats on this committee were at the forefront of the russian collusion hoax. for years they falsely claimed they found secreteds of trump's conspiracy with russia. they showed memos on the fisa warrant to spy on trump associates and even tried to get nude pictures of trump from russian prank centers. they also touted the credibility of the steele dossier, that they had paid for themselves, the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign. they even read the steele dossier into this committee's congressional record during hearings in the pas

you were working on that in homeland security before you went to work on mike pence's

>> that was fbi director chris raised testimony to the house, homeland security committee, ea, excuse me, but look, shannon, 76% of all violent domestic terror incidents over the past ten years, according to the department of homeland security, have been from right-wing groups in this country, so i'm going to

be ready to go as soon as the inauguration ceremony is over with and so that commendation of homeland security and national security goes back and forth depending on the administration and i think john and i were in agreement with combining votes is a good idea and that as i said it's not the only way but has to be shaped for how the president likes to make decisions and how he wants to see the national security council in the context of the government. >> ambassador bolton, you had a strong response when i asked the questions why don't you share your thoughts? >> i agree with a lot of what jim has said and that i have in my book i quote a paragraph from don's memoir of his days as chief and staff in the bush 41 white house where he says when the president was in town at 8:00 a.m. every morning there would be the intelligence briefing followed by for about 15 minutes followed by about half an hour with schoolcraft talk about national security and sometimes that went on for a while and then bret would stay on when governor sununu would discuss with president bush the press and domestic and poli

mcfarlane, where is fine line between homeland security and what the national security adviser does and what role does the national security adviser play in the homeland security? >> well, in the obama administration we had tom donelin was my deputy and john brennan was the homeland security adviser and we're all located in the white house, obviously. and at the president's daily briefing all of those interests were present. and everybody had a set role to play. it was my job to kind of coordinate how that meeting went. so to, you know, make the best use of the president's time. but that seemed to, as the structure, that seemed to be a valid way and in consonance with how president obama liked to make decisions, which was very much from the bottom up instead of from the top down. >> but it was part of the national security council structure, was it not, until the trump administration came around? and i believe you, ambassador bolton, kind of modified that structure. >> well, i'll just say a quick word there. the national security and homeland security are fundamentally the same thing. i

he's been told that by the department of homeland security. and yet this is how he talks about it. >> are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups -- >> sure. >> do it, sir. >> you want to call them -- what do you want to call them? give me a name. >> white su prem cypremacists. >> proud boys. >> proud boys? stand down and stand by. >> they concluded any possible financial gain isn't worth the risk of promoting violent extremism. the president apparently sees it differently, something his former national security adviser can't understand. >> are you satisfied with the way the president responded to that? >> no, he missed a huge opportunity, right? i mean, it should be super easy to condemn white supremacists. you have these extreme groups. at the same time as the president and others are diminishing our confidence in our democratic process. >> super easy, he says. or as he told the atlantic, a layup. in the next phrase, the general puts his finger on why the president has not taken it. listen to this last bit these

the department of homeland security. both instances we said to the president on white supremacy the threat was serious, was growing and was primarily from violent racially moat valuated extremist groups. just what wrist wray said in his testimony in the past few days. we've been telling donald trump this information for year, sharing this with his white house for years and they've been in denial for years. in 2017, 2018, white house was desperate to contact an end-to-end systemic assessment of voter fraud. we pushed back at the white house saying that's a very inappropriate thing for the department of homeland security to take on. it's not something we do. we've seen from dhs officials since then including that cybersecurity and infrastructure security believes the integrity of the vote is solid and i haven't heard any top officials from department of homeland security question the ballot system, mail-in system, like the president has. he's fallen fon russian propaganda over the information provided by his own law enforc

"the post" reporting that homeland security officials briefed homeland security administrators that those emails that 16 viewers sent to us, after having received them themselves, homeland security officials apparently warned state and local officials per "the washington post" that a foreign government was responsible for those emails, and, quote, homeland security officials also said they had detected holes in state and local election websites and instructed those participating to patch their online services. it is from that "washington post" reporting this evening that we can surmise that maybe what trump's intelligence director was talking about tonight was these vote trump or else emails. it still makes no sense that he would describe these emails as an effort to damage president trump. they were an effort to intimidate people into voting for president trump. we still don't know what anybody means about russia's involvement here or about russia and iran both accessing voter registration data. it seems like something very serious has happened. what it is, no idea. joining us now, thoug

leading off our discussion tonight gary peters of michigan, a ranking member of the homeland security support and olivia troy, a former senior member of the white house coronavirus task force and counterterrorism advisor to vice president mike pence. senator peters, let me begin with you and the situation in michigan tonight. you began your day trying to advance your re-election campaign and now michigan is downed in this story tonight. what is the situation in terms of the governor's own safety tonight? >> certainly every effort is made to protect her safety. some of that is ramping up prior to apprehension of the individuals. you have folks that are very concerned about the future and dealing with the covid crisis. as you said earlier here in the program that words matter. when you hear elected officials calling out a governor and then using words that are inappropriate that can stoke peoples' anxiety and really lead to bad behavior. even when you have a president saying to michigan, i will liberate michigan from the oppression that is happening right now by the government. you can

as you know, the department of homeland security primary responsibility is protect the homeland.ection requires letting the public know what's going on. we had a hearing in september and we had hthe fbi tell us tha right-wing extremism was on the rise. i got a bill passed trierequiri the fbi to publish that information so that not just members of congress but the public could have it. well, believe it or not, that report was due in june and is still not out. >> wow. >> that's not discounting the report that we're talking about now, but there's another report that should've been out. my congress member from michigan asked the fbi about the white supremacist activity in northern michigan, and he said that ideology was on the rise. i had a michigan congresswoman at the hearing raise this very question about right-wing extremism in her district. so we all have known that it was going on, but, you know, this president, reverend al, has forced that mind-set that's it's all right to be a right-wing extremist in america because donald trump promotes that kind of ideology. >> now, when we

he's a ranking member of the homeland security committee. and senior staff member of the white house coronavirus task force and former homeland security counterterrorism adviser to vice president mike pence. senator peters, let me begin with you and the situation in michigan tonight. you began your day trying to advance your re-election campaign. and now michigan gets drowned in this story tonight. what is the situation as you know it in terms of the governor's own safety tonight? has it been changed or increased in any way since these charges were made public? >> well, certainly every effort is being made to protect her safety. and that has been -- some of that has been ramping up prior to the apprehension of these individuals. you know, it is a time right now where there is increased anxiety. you have folks who are very concerned about the future and dealing with this covid crisis. and as you were saying earlier here in this program, words matter. and when you hear some elected officials calling out a governor and using word thars inapprop

homeland security in the border patrol are running concentration camps and more than 200000 u.s. presidents have now died from cold 1000 it's still important to not lose hope because without hope we would never have gotten this good bit of news according to researchers from newcastle university since 190348 mammal and bird species including the sim atar horned oryx the california condor and black footed ferret have been saved from extinction by concert or concert conservation actions in fact between the years 93 and 2020 without conservation efforts extinction rates would have been 3 point one to 4.2 higher for birds 2.4 to 4 times higher for mammals yes my friends conservation efforts to save our fellow inhabitants on this small 2 blue planet do indeed actually work so come on and then the meantime let's try to can conserve 8 us and keep ourselves alive be nice that great no too many too many yes they do already that is their show for today remember in this world we're not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am a robot into and out of the chicago logic a

another question is what if they are acting right now there's just one chad wolf and homeland security. the weight of the evidence suggests they would participate because the principal officers of the department's who is in charge of homeland security. even if they don't participate you would just need the majority of who is left then there's the other body congress has never done that but that would have to be done through legislation. they couldn't just say forget the cabinet. they would have to pass a law but that is very unlikely at this point. >> from michigan state university you're talking with the law professor taking your questions about the 25th amendment if you have questions on the eastern or central time zones good morning. >> caller: top of the morning to you guys. they need to get off of that we are running an election right now and still trying to throw stones at biden. the administration doesn't know who's going to be in charge if something does happen to trump because they jump into protocol. where do you think that trump would let us know. isn't it said if you take t

. >> reporter: election defense became a top homeland security priority after the russian hacks to a national security operation center coordinating cyber defenses against foreign and criminal hack attempts. >> we see a lot of cyber threats impacting elections as well as other state and local and business organizations, as well >> reporter: election defense became a top homeland security priority after the russian hacks of 2016. now massive collaboration with the military, the fbi, and nsa. >> reporter: this week homeland security warned cyber threats from both nation states and nonstate actors will remain acute and likely grow. singling out threats from russia, china, and iran to disrupt election infrastructure how often do you see a probe or an attempt at an attack. >> every single second >> reporter: every second >> the internet is a wild place >> reporter: chris kreps is the director of cyber and infrastructure security at homeland he vows this year's elections will be the most secure ever. >> anything can happen on the turn of a dime we're ready. we've secured systems. we've exer

but i want to come back to where i began, on homeland security. this is a two-minute new question, senator kerry.as president, what would you do, specifically, in addition to or differently to increase the homeland security of the united states than what president bush is doing? >> jim, let me tell you exactly what i'll do. and there are a long list of thing. first of all, what kind of mixed message does it send when you have $500 million going over to iraq to put police officers in the streets of iraq, and the president is cutting the cops program in america? what kind of message does it send to be sending money to open firehouses in iraq, but we're shutting firehouses who are the first-responders here in america.the president hasn't put one nickel, not one nickel into the effort to fix some of our tunnels and bridges and most exposed subway systems. that's why they had to close down the subway in new york when the republican convention was there. we hadn't done the work that ought to be done.the president -- 95 percent of the containers that com

i served on homeland security security many moons ago. i don't remember if they remember that. but we had similar problems back then as to not being able to really do all of the things that are required of that committee because we kept bumping into jurisdictional issues. i would be supportive of you two gentlemen and your requests. and that would affect financial services because we have a cybersecurity component to that when it comes to the financial sector and the hacking potentially and the disruption of the financial sector. we should all get together and do that. i appreciate the testimony. but particularly on the directed funding. i think we did ourselves a disservice by doing away with that and i yield back. >> thank you very much. mr. woodall. >> thank you, mr. chairman. we always are able to make time to do those things that are in our wheelhouse. i liked ms. eshoo's concerned. whether it's showing your i.d. when you pass the entry points instead of expecting people to recognize or two factor identification when you're logged into your computer. by the time we come to

senate homeland security said documents from tony bobulinski, former business partner of hunter biden, so far they appear legit. what are republicans on house judiciary, what are you going to do? >> liz, thank you for letting me come back on and i always enjoy it, please call me guy. the senate is looking to verify all the documents. of course that takes sometime. the senate policy says the documents have to be verified before they issue subpoenas. in the house i wish adam schiff would stop spreading misinformation like he did before. so he should be censured. as far as the investigation, a lot of subpoenas should go out. we should have a subpoena on hunter biden. bobulinski, jim biden, joe biden's brother and perhaps even joe biden.

you mention department of homeland security, fbi director quite transparent about this right now.president says, understandably so when he refuses on debate stage to condemn white supremacy. what about what he doesn't say and do. he has the bully pulpit of the white house to have an event when his homeland security and fbi say this is a grave threat facing the country, but the president has done zip on this issue, right? >> well, people who support him no matter how kind of abhorrent their beliefs are he will not criticize. one of the principal goals is to attract law enforcement, it is not something new. law enforcement is concerned about this. go back to oklahoma city in 1995, 168 people were killed in the federal building by timothy mcveigh. he had a pretty strong contact with michigan militia at the time, so this is also not new in michigan where you have the anti-government militia. obviously when president barack obama was elected, they picked up steam and then we have this rather serious plot which on the other hand was well surveilled by the government. >> thank you for he

well, because we had plans on the shelf for how to deal with a pandemic at homeland security. >> because this is a national security issue. pandemic falls under that umbrella. >> think of it like a war. when we have a war, the secretary of defense is accountable to the president, and he talks to the combatant commanders in the field and there's a chain of accountability to run that war. we designed the same system for homeland security threats. guess who didn't use it? donald trump. he said i don't want to pull those plans off the shelf where - instead the president said, i want it to be about me, my press conferences every night, and i want it to be run by a task force of people in the white house. >> i understand that, but i'll tell you something. that's not my concern. you're right. >> yeah. >> you know, but to me it's a smaller point. here's why, miles. if he had -- no matter how he wanted to do it, if he had just decided to do it, given it a name, operation no pandemic or whatever and put his arms around it, not only would the country be in a better position, he would. what was your

vivian: where is the line andeen homeland security what the national security advisor. is much of a role does the national security advisor lay in -- play in homeland security? administration, and johntop deputy brennan was the homeland , and we are all located in the white house, , and the president he was present. they could coordinate how that meeting went to make the best use of the president's time. as a structure, that seem to be a valid way in consonants without president obama liked to make decisions, which was very much from the autumn of instead of the top down. it was not until the trump administration came around -- i model thatyou structure? ambassador bolton: the national security and homeland security are fundamentally the same thing . i think we're talking about the same homelands. the notion of these being separate. i think ultimately, you need to bring it back to a more coherent approach. i would make other structural , but that is beyond the scope of our discussion. >> i would like to get into some of the larger threat, the larger nsc.ture for the i'm

jeh johnson, african-american man, undersecretary in the department of homeland security in the obama administration and he's in the mix for defense. senator tammy duckworth for defense. she may be an interesting part for the department of affairs. salliuates who was an undersecretary is is on the list and stacey abrams who ran for governor in georgia. she is on the list for the justice department. then another big position is a treasury department. that can be a very big role in a biden administration. look at the fallout from the pandemic. and a number of women are on the short list, including janet yellin, former chairman of the federal reserve. a fed official and a senior member of the economic team is on the short list. so a number of names. the washington parlor game, who may get the call if joe biden

. >>> a house homeland security subcommittee is looking into the homeland security department's management of the trust and traveler program that expedites travel across u.s. borders, such as, tsa pre and global entry. some new york state residents have been banned from the programs due to state laws on sharing driver's license information with federal agencies. >> -- will come to order. without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the subcommittee in recess at any point. good morning. we are convening today in our continued effort to understand why this committee received inact are the and misleading testimony -- inaccurate and misleading testimony from the dhs regarding its decision to ban residents of new york state from trusted traveler programs like global entry. on february 5, senior ghs official chad wolfe wrote to new york officials to inform them of the ban, without notifying congress and the members of the new york state delegation who sit on this authorizing committee. mr. wolf cited new york's green light law, a justification for the ban, stating that the law, quote, c

members of the department of homeland security so i can't really speak to the tails of that i can say that when a law enforcement officer is doing their job. they don't have the luxury of inquiring various job or life status questions like you just described to determine if someone is a veteran or a mother or a father or all the various things you named they don't have that luxury when they're under attack and trying to protect themselves. so are you satisfied with all the actions that your officers carried out then despite the fact that the a.c.l.u. said d h s is too powerful to abusive and too much of a threat to america's democratic values the american civil liberties union has proven itself an extremely unreliable and nonobjective characterize or of events so you know your reliance on them says more about where you are coming from than what the facts were we were very happy with how our officers performed they were professionally restrained over months of violence directed at them and the facilities that they were protecting including the people in those facilities and behaved ver

top homeland security officials are now urging patience from voters. they warn that election results likely will not be known on election night despite president trump's demand for immediate results. and tensions are starting to boil over. election officials in florida have contacted law enforcement after voters reported receiving threatening emails saying, vote for trump or else. the president is still struggling to find a compelling rationale for his re-election ahead of the final debate tomorrow. >> he has been expanding his list of enemies, narrowing the scope of his campaign to attacking them rather than focusing on voters' needs mocking biden for supporting scientists, attacking reporters and debate moderator before the debate has started and lashing out at dr. anthony fauci. a source tells cnn one trump ally told the president that the attacks on fauci are, quote, the dumbest thing in the history of politics. this with the pandemic worsening surpassing 60,000 cases for the first time in a week. that hasn't happened since july. the first lady bac
