take a look, here is their mandate from the federal government, from the department of homeland security's. the mandate sounds legit. it's to protect this stuff, the food supply, dams, chemical plants, crucial, critical infrastructure that if destroyed in the words of the department of the homeland security would have a debilitating effect on the security of the country. so far, so good. now, this is what some of what the outfit came up with. this is bulletin 131 which they wrote. one of the groups they're warning about are animal rights activists of philadelphia planning to demonstrate peacefully at what they consider the worst of the worst. what is the worst of the worst? well, it's the lulu shrine rodeo in pennsylvania. this is where they were going to protest. this is what this contractor was so concerned about. now, other bulletins, done by the contractor warned about events like this one. this is the gay pride festival of central pennsylvania. this say picture from last year's event. not sure what this has to do with critical infrastructure they were so concerned about. there were pl

that's the charge from government investigators who say the homeland security department wasted our moneyclear security programs that don't work at all. catherine herridge live in the washington newsroom tonight and i understand you spoke with a senior person in the government who uncovered all this. >> that's right, shep. the investigation covered two programs designed to detect nuclear material being smuggled into the u.s. and in one case, the investigator found the technology was being pushed too hard, too fast. in another case, the equipment was just too big and it didn't fit into the cargo container inspection lanes. the investigator told us it was like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. >> this is not a picture of good government and it's not good government. in some cases, it was common sense. >> in the process, nearly a half billion taxpayer dollars was wasted on these technologies. >> there are claims that the homeland security department really misled congress on this, right? >> well, staffers for senator collins say the program to screen containers was sidelined in 2

drink and they treat you like a criminal and you know it's interesting you mention the homeland security department because we covered this last week too it turns on pennsylvania they had been taking down the names of people who were attending certain rallies or protests people who had just gone to a screening of the documentary gasland and they were you know keeping them for their records for the homeland security department but do we have even more updates as to who i mean they were giving that let me tell you something a lot of these are very simple people they are people who live in places like to make in very rural areas because they like nature and they like having lots of property these are people who were told if you don't sign away the middle mineral rights to your property we're going to drill anyway they were told that everyone around them was signing in a way they were told that they would get thousands of dollars in checks they got maybe a couple hundred a fraction of what they were promised still they didn't say anything or complain it wasn't until they started getting sick to their s

well i guess john elway wasn't convincing enough so now the department of homeland security is joining in on the fun they're releasing their own measures to tell the average american how to detect a terrorist now the pamphlets called identifying homegrown violent extremists before they strike and on page three you can find a few pointers on how to tell if you really have a neighbor that's a terrorist there are factors like changing your name adopting a new lifestyle or acquiring weapons or materials that are flammable and capable of producing explosives well i guess you know most of these indicators definitely make sense to me but the problem is i don't think it'll be about easy to tell if these are accurate and i'll tell you why let's say that you're a fan of m.t.v.'s the jersey shore could it be that everyone's favorite of noxious party animals are in fact domestic terrorists let's start with the name change criteria almost every single member of the cast has changed their names we have nicole polizzi who is now known as snooki michael sorrentino who is known as the situation and the

>> as a-- he was working in the home office which was our security department. homeland security department. >> jim baker was a former political guy without also was secretary of the treasury before it became secretary of state. it was interesting. you ran the campaign. >> yes. >> the recent election, yes, i did. >> are you a political guy as well as a money guy. >> go ahead. >> yeah, i mean look, you know t wasn't a one-man effort, the campaign, it was a selective effort and we had a very good team but i chaired the election campaign, yes. >> and the coalition is working. >> the coalition is working extraordinarily well and i think it's worth reflecting. >> it is a remarkable achievement. something again no one would have predicted remotely possible a year ago, that two political parties in britain in the country which has no real tradition of coalition governments, two political parties have come together to work together in the national interest. and i think actually because people can see that, i'm not saying it is something we planned before the election because we

the best idea if you haven't focused any of your attention on this then why do we have a homeland security department was created after nine eleven why did the bush administration wiretap its own citizens why do we now have a top secret america with an absurd number of individuals who have top secret clearance to listen in on our phone calls monitor our websites and our e-mails and yet they can't keep track of who's monitoring what or who or figure out how to communicate with each other. don't tell me that spying on your own citizens was no way of trying to track home grown terrorism or whatever else want to call it and that now you need to do more and don't tell me that you need another agency more bureaucracy more waste to do it and that's all i can say. well this is definitely not been a light news day so since it's friday we just had to end the show on a happier note so you don't all go to bed with nightmares but then again so it's funny and bizarre stories still might give you nightmares but don't blame it on me now we've got everything from what scientists deem are sexy dance moves to a playboy

that falls under the federal emergency management agency, the department homeland security. the defense department provides the bulk of support for the effort. >> mr. secretary, did you stay in washington after the attack? >> i knew that the deputy was elsewhere. the attorney general flew back and got there in the afternoon. i stayed there with director mueller because the critical thing was to identify and stop anyone out there who might carry out followed attacks. we had to give him the authority to g

they will debate the homeland security department debate on purchasing items produced in the u.s.ive coverage of lit -- begins at 10:00 a.m. eastern. and coming up this hour, we will talk about extending tax cuts for the middle-class which are set to expire at the end of the year. alan viard of the american enterprise institute joins us. after that,

they'll talk about some of the recent arrests and for the homeland security department, this is not so much or this is equally, i guess you could say, about the threat as it is about the government's response to it. for homeland security, the big landmark is last christmas. the attempted bombing by mu tallb and what she'll talk about is what she claims are the strides that homeland security have made in improving the airline security system. more advance notice of what passengers are on what planes, which gives the u.s. a longer chance to try to vet those names against terror databases. better airline security in the airlines that feed into the u.s. more cooperation with distant airports and she'll also say one of the problems here is that you can give advance equipment to some of these airports overseas, but if they don't have programs to train the people to operate and maintain them, it's really not the kind of security you want. it's a two-edge sword, chris. >> all right, pete, i know you'll listen in and we'll get back to you later today. thanks. >> you bet. >>> i love this quote.

to do this by skipping the legislative process as the department of homeland security memo indicates is wrong. it's clearly wrong. following the memo's release, candice miller and i wrote a sec re-- a letter to secretary napolitano demanding clarification and to see if the memo reflects the department's or the white house's policy plans. the response was basically a nonresponse, mr. carter. another memo highlighted by an article in the houston chronicle, you may have mentioned this, it outlined the possibility of dismissing and i think you did mention this, 17,000 deportation cases and releasing the offenders inside the united states. what kind of a precedent are we setting? a third idea from d.h.s. involves focusing on illegal immigrants who focus on more -- who commit nor serious crimes, so in other words not getting them off and ignoring those who commit minor infractions. there's focus on the ones who have committed the serious fines but the minor infractions would be let off. what kind of precedent are we setting. i've asked for hearing, mr. carter, on this. i know you know this

rogers: the department of homeland security employs over 150,000 uniformed men and women who are dedicated to the department's vital mission of protecting the homeland against a range of threats. the u.s. customs and border protection, for example, employs over 21,000 officers and 20,000 border patrol agents and these numbers continue to grow. the t.s.a. has 48,000 officers. the u.s. coast guard has over 50,000 uniformed personnel. these growing numbers represent opportunity to produce uniforms and other materials in the u.s. to support their mission rather than overseas. this in turn will help create american jobs in this troubled economy. the bill provides for exceptions in certain situations including procurements by vessels in foreign waters, emergency procurement, low-cost procurement, and items are not of sufficient quality or quantity available when needed. the bill also includes language requiring its provisions to be applied in a manner consistent with u.s. obligations under international agreement. h.r. 3116 is a common sense peace of legislation. i urge my colleagues to support

security contributor fran townsend who is also an external board adviser to the ci, and the homeland security departmentzanne, going back to the 1990s there was the wendel key case where he was alleged to give restricted data to china, but this data that the couple were trying to pass were the most secret and the most important secrets that we have in the nuclear program, so there is a tremendous effort since that wen lee ho case, to monitor those who have access through informants and try to identify the spies before they are able to pass the information, and it sounds like what we know so far, the fbi took it seriously, and by the way, the electromagnetic pulse tract is one of the things greatest feared by the government, and you can imagine launching an attack and wipe out the electrical grid in urban area, and the sort of chaos that would cause. i think that this is the sort of thing, and it also sends a deterrent signal of others who think about misusing their access to this sort of information. >> fran, how difficult to prosecute these cases? >> well, if they have this taped, and if they have the

fran is an external board advisor for the kcia and the homeland security department.ejad says he wants iranians released from american prisons. are there iranians in american prisons right now? >> you know, wolf, as you appreciate, under our constitution, if iranians are arrested here in the united states, they have access to an independent lawyer. they can confront the witnesses and evidence against them, they're entitled to ask for bail, they're entitled to have contact with their consular officials and representatives here in the united states. a whole series of rights that americans don't seem to be granted when they're taken into custody in iran. and so it's understandable that he might raise the -- the u.s. having in custody iranian citizens, but it's by no means fair to -- to make the analogy to americans like these two hikers, not to mention remember there's also robert levenson, a retired fbi official, who did appeared. he's never even been acknowledged by the iranian government. and may not even still be living. and so there is not -- this is not one for one

our national security correspondent fran townshend who is a adviser for the ci, and the homeland security departmentally about iran's attitude toward the united states? >> i am not sure, wolf, we can read much into. this ahmadinejad is preparing to come to the united states for the u.n. general assembly and tremendous pressure and obviously the swiss and amani governmen governments participation here. and so they have not acknowledged having certain issues with them taking american citizens into custody and denying them counsel, and denying in some cases they have them. >> and if you are ahmadinejad, and release this woman and see what if anything we get in terms of diplomatic overtures or the price that the west might pay, and then make a decision about these two young men? >> maybe. i'm not sure that there is much hopeful signs in that regard. afterall, they didn't just release them to see what they would get. they also got apparently $500,000 from the armani government. you have an american robert levinston still in custody, so if ahmadinejad is coming here and wants to be taken seriously by the

everything should be out in the open. >> but the department of homeland security says these memos areng taken out of context and being made to seem as if they are official policy when they are not. they are, rather, according to the department of homeland security, an attempt to solicit various ideas, and quote, collect feedback, and in some cases the memos did not even get passed up to the highest levels in the department. a spokesman says, quote, we are not engaged in a back door amnesty and are on pace to place more people in immigration proceedings this year than ever before. 1dhs official tells fox, there is new guidance for immigration officers to use, quote, discretion in dismissing cases against illegal immigrants who already are pursuing legal permission to stay here and likely will be, quote, granted status, anyway, so that dhs and ice have the manpower to go after more dangerous illegals, jon. jon: molly henneberg in washington, thanks molly. jenna: now back to some business. larry summers, the third key member of the white house economic team to head out the door in recent

homeland security architecture that we are building. and this is what the hardworking men and women of the department of homeland security are devoted to every day. thank you van hollen for the opportunity to be here. i -- thank you again for the opportunity to be here. i look forward to answering the committee's questions. >> thank you very much, secretary napolitano, to a good statement to begin our discussion with. director mueller, thanks for being here once again, and thanks for all the good work that you and everybody that works with you do every day. >> thank you, mr. chairman. senator collins, members of the committee. as you know the f.b.i.'s highest priority continues to be the prevention of terrorist attacks against the homeland. since 9/11 the threat from terrorism has evolved, as you pointed out, in ways that present new challenges for us and our partners. this morning let me focus on the most serious of these threats and give you some idea how we are moving to counter them. despite the significant counterterrorism pressure abroad, al qaeda continues to be committed to high profile attacks directed at the best including pl

contributor fran townsend, fran is also an external board adviser to both the cia and the homeland security department. he makes these allegations, david. how's the west with, how is the united states supposed to respond to this? >> walking out's the best way. and keeping these sanctions on and tightening them if possible much the good news is, wolf, that the sanctions seem to be biting a little more than they have in the past. this is the fourth round, of course, but there have been some additional sanctions put on by the united states and european nations. russia seems more on board with them. but there's no resolution. we have still got this mad man running iran. almost impossible to deal w and some point, the world is going to start to ask how much longer is the diplomacy going to go on and when are we really going to get tough? >> the sad thing, fran, as you well know there are a lot of people out there around the world who do believe that the united states had some sort of role in a conspiracy that led to 9/11 and he is obviously fuelling that at the u.n. general assembly today. >> that's right,

end of the day, there is a reference to that line of thought as to why we need a tsa, homeland security department. every paradigm that we put into place that we think gets us to the point of being the head of the bad guy, you can rest assured, the bad guy is working as diligently as they can to circumvent what ever we just put in place in order to stay half a step ahead to put it into a sports metaphor, the idea is for us to be one step ahead of the bad guy all the way down the road. so having a purpose law enforcement entity within the government structure is exactly the right thing to do. host: john, independent line. conn. caller: thank you for c-span. you do a wonderful job. i heard your response to an earlier comment that and on foreign government is investing in m-16's and tanks. they may try to salvage our economy through a jobs program created by the military. it seems there must have been some arm-twisting behind that deal. and do you really want our image abroad to be one of reforming countries? i do not see the utility of f-16 jets against an insurgency, which they can certainly expect

we have also sent a copy to the department of homeland security. just seconds ago they sent us a response. we'll give you all the details. but the big take away here the big picture is this is the third internal memo from the third government agency talking about amnesty for certain illegal immigrants. the first one came from ice. the second one game from u.s. citizenship and immigration service. this one is from the department of homeland security issued back in february and reportedly made its way all the way to secretary janet napolitano's office. the memo talks about phase one of a program to legalize immigrants without immigration reform, and, and i'm quoting here if we can put this on the screen, using administrative measures to sidestep the current state of congressional gridlock and ener tia. the memo then details how the emphasis would be to register, fingerprint and screen illegals as an interim way of legalizing those who qualify. very important, those who qualify, those who have not been convicted of a felony. then the memo goes onto sa

time, and we hope to really instigate best practices in the federal government and fema, department of homeland security, so we can be using these best practices principles, so i'm really looking forward to some of that. as you know, one of our key successes is the life lines council, which is a group of 25 to 30 of our life line providers, includes communication, transportation, power, water, sewer, debris management, and we recently have added our financial institutions. organizations of banks, which are definitely lifelines. we have had three meetings that have featured major providers, and our next meeting will be about transportation and looking at independency analysis. this is again the only lifelines' council of its scope that we can discover anywhere, so everyone is really excited about this, and a lot of folks are looking at the way we go about our discussions of into dependencies and networks. i also want to say we have been doing some really great stuff around mitigation, especially with the mandatory stuff stored program. dem has recently gathered work group of all the folks involved in mit

homeland security. there are a lot of positions created when they created the homeland security department. are you thinking it will be on the same scale as that? guest: not quite. but i do think -- what it is doing similar to homeland security is it is bringing under a broad umbrella under the oversight of this the focus and attention of all of these other regulatory agencies so it is creating the office of financial resource and there is a lot of uncertainty about how much money they will be able to spend. and i come back and call into question we need greater specificity. we had 2,300 pages in the dodd- freanching act that. is a lot to put on the table of what this is but this will be a lot of room left for rulemaking and implementation and jockeying for that. host: how many staff will it have? guest: i don't know the actual numbers. host: do you suspect there will be a fight over who is the director of the agency in the senate? guest: this position actually can wield a lot of power because it will give a lot of insight as to where risks of coming from. it may not be to the same level as

the department of homeland security as fran noted has been aware of this from some time.his is a report from 2009. prominent anti-government conspiracy theorists incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like minded individuals and attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. the economy playing in that part from the report of the department of homeland security. you take it a step further and personalize it to a degree. the resir jans is seen among government and academic experts as a reaction to the shifts in american politics that allowed a black man with a foreign sounding name and muslim-born father to reach the white house. fair to say, a lot of this is about race? >> well, yes and no. for sure there are large numbers of people, you know, sort of on what you call the radical right, who are bothered by obama's race or their beliefs about his religion or their beliefs about his country of origin. and so he's a kind of a uniting figure in that sense, for the first time behind the three major streams of bigotry

well, because the president of the united states and the homeland security department just declared 17,000 people will never go before a judge. not on that issue. because they -- unless they refile the cases, which they've done -- it's done with prejudice they can come back and refile the cases. but unless they refile the cases, these people will never answer to a court. why would you want them to answer to a court? courts are so crowded. sure but some judges willing to work hard to do what's right by the law in the del rio sector made the del rio sector the least border crossed area on the border why? because there's something about looking a judge straight in the eye and they tell you, sir, or madam, you have violated the laws of the united states by coming across our border that makes those people say, i'm not going to see the judge again. i'm going to cross someplace else. now, maybe we should be setting up a system like that to cover the whole border. maybe that would help a whole lot. we should provide the resources to do it. the real point comes back to at least 17,000 people will n
