and you say that the homeland security council is. not going with the deal that will never stop the way they all thought well i don't know if you know what is meant let him know. if you manage the digital channels no man if any of them have been poisoned i'm going to do one. of the. books and i'm still a lot. like that like. myself and one of the till the day a good dog of a joke. if. the. 2 months i'll be. moving. some of the. blood. libel. suit. brought by. the fall hasn't looked. any. good in the small of omagh let me alone with all of this. there was a movement among the another. we'll go wall to wall not come in the yeoman studio oh no come in the am a half a minute. if you did. not know. a spot on the. clock i now know was the. marble the one on the dash i saw the being with what you got on i was to it what took you i'm nothing if i had to move in with one of the. little. limit. but not. why didn't i. thought i would so. much. well i don't. think about that i'm. not going to be on the diamond of how to shoot and how to shoot i k

security council view. arthel. arthel: thank you, for more on this now, republican congressman peter king of new york and member of the house homelandurity committee, congressman, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: i want to start here as we we were reporting, president trump ordering withdrawal of a thousand u.s. troops from northern syria, leaving the kurds, syrian democratic forces behind to be slaughtered in their words, what's your reaction to this move? >> now, i strongly disagree with the president's decision, i think it's essential that we have a presence there and that fact that we were a presence to me is what did allow for some sense of normalcy there. once we pull out the way we did, that's going to undermine the credibility, this is similar to what president obama did when he allowed syria to cross the red sign as far as using chemical weapons back in 2013-2014 and what is more important than anything in the middle east is not the amount of troops we have but keeping our word, keeping our credibility, that's what enables countries like jordan and israel, saudi arabia and others to make decis

security council under presidents bush 43 and obama. gillian, let me start with you. what are you hearing from your sources about the raid and about concerns in the homeland security communityals for the takedown of baghdadi e? >> so quick note on this counterterrorism mission, it's one of those rare operations that really is a tactical victory for the united states, but it's also a strategic victory for the united states meaning it's great news today, it's going to continue to pay dividends for the months and years ahead, so that's great. what i'm hearing from my sources in the national security community is that the fbi and state and local law enforcement are already, at this hour starting last night, beefing up protection because they're worried about the risk of reprize a-- reprisal attacks meaning folks who are sympathetic to isis, who follow their ideology are going to be very upset about the death of al-baghdadi and are going to amp up their plans for an attack here at home. so that's kind of the outlook, that's the next worry that americans need to start thinking about now, not to be a fear monger, that's just the reality on the ground. chris: now, the president tal

it also is an insult to the fbi, the cia, the national security council, all of the other agencies that report to the committee. i'm also on homelandurity committee. and you know, these are men and women who put their lives on the line every day, and we have no right to then go out and essentially insult them that they were somehow partisan in an investigation. >> do you worry that this will just keep going on until the president gets the outcome he wants? >> absolutely. i think he's hoping that with his hand-picked attorney general, who actually has already demonstrated that he leans toward the president on matters of justice, is going to eventually find something. and i don't think there's anything going to stop the president from going in that direction. it's unfortunate. it's tragic. and i think it's very dangerous for our children and even their children to set this precedent. i mean, nobody gets the chance to investigate the people who investigated them. and if we don't trust the fbi and the cia and all of the other agencies that are created for the purpose of protecting our national security, then maybe we're facing the end

homeland security designation of election infrastructure critical infrastructure there has been a change in information sharing between the federal government and state and local officials. this includes the creation of the government coordinating council which brings together state and local officials, federal partners as well as the coordinating council which has helped organize private sector vendors and nonprofit entities that support local election officials. we've also seen the creation of the infrastructure information and sharing and analysis center which now has over 2100 members including every state officials office. the deployment of the monitors hardening of the systems increased training and promotion exercises around the cyber events evolve exponentially increased since 2016. the 2018 appropriation of 380 million of funding which was distributed in most of its obligation has largely contributed to these improvements. it doesn't cover everything the official stated that the states would have the ability to essentially choose from a menu of reforms and improvements in the priority is the code address the most pressing needs and vulnerabilities. as the chairwoman testified earlier this year, the project 85% of the 2018 mone
