national security concerns.-span's washington journal, join the conversation live at 7:00 eastern friday morning. >> tonight watch the confirmation hearing for kirk campbell, presidt biden's nominee toe deputy eer terry of stage. he testifi earlier today. mr. campbell currently serves as national security council coorditor for the indo pacific. it is tonight at 9:00 eastern on c-span. >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more including cox. >> the syndrome is extremely rare. but friends don't have to be. when you are connected, you are not alone. >> cox sports c-span as a public service along with these other television

pretty focused on domestic national security. not entirely but largely. 's probably why you have that. what do you think this means for homeland security and national security inside the united states? >> i appreciate you. we stand in solidarity with israel and israeli people at this time. we at the department of justice are working very closely with federal agency partners as well as partners around the world and the israelis to do everything we can to support them. much of our focus is with the department of justice and the fbi. assisting those who are missing. we are working night and day right now on those challenges. the one thing i would say in response is, bring it back to 702 for a moment. reauthorizing section 702 is keeping me up at night. there's no doubt in my mind that section 702 is part of helping us understand the picture. whether that's potential threats emanating from overseas into the united states, what hamas is doing. we are always worried about iran as a threat. there's no doubt in my mind that section 702 is part of that. i would say

this strikes a delicate balance between national security imperatives and safeguarding the rights of american citizens. let's move forward that re-authorizing section 702 was not just a necessity but a duty to protect our nation from evolving threats. mr. turner: any other members who wish to offer an amendment or speak? seeing none, i move the adoption of 6611, the fisa act of 2023. the question is on the adoption of 6611. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the bill is agreed to. and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. the chair recognizes mr. himes for the purpose of a motion. mr. himes: i move that the committee report the bill h.r. 6611. mr. turner: those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. members may request to file supplemental additional views as part of the committee report. are you filing minority views? mr. himes: yes. mr. turner: members are granted two additional days to file supplemental very views on h.r. 6611. pursuant to 2-l of house rule. committee staff be authorized to make c

i come from a national security background. i have actively tracked bad guys, terrorists, and i know what it takes to investigate all of the different threats you have to pull to conduct an investigation and eventually find the guy who wants to harm or kill or spy on americans. it takes a lot of work and some flexibility. that flexibility can't be endless, which is why we are doing additional reforms through an already strict process. the reforms are downright terrifying. that effectively would dismantle fisa 702 as we know it . they will mark it it as simply saying, well, look, we are protecting people's fourth amendment rights. you have to have a warrant before search and seizure. that is how it will be represented to you. that is not true. that is not what their reforms do. the proper analogy would be saying every time a cop wants to run a license plate, every time a police officer sees a car go by and is speeding and wants to run the license plate, you would need a warrant. of course, that is not how we do things. we can as

we cannot achieve national security as a whole without securing our own borders. in fact, president biden's own national defense strategy reflects this very sentiment, citing protection of the homeland as the number one defense priority. it is essential that border security remains one of our four pillars that need to be included in any national security supplemental that was approved by this congress. in order to properly secure and defend our allies, we must properly secure and defend our own nation at the same time. as i've said on the floor many times with madam president, with you presiding, i've said many times there is no doubt we currently live in a time of heightened national security concern. not only is this concern felt around the globe, but in almost every state and community in our own country, because of this crisis at the border, because of this crisis at the border we see chaos, we see it on our news channels every evening. we see the monthly records of illegal crossings. as a matter of fact, i think several days ago the highest daily number. and w

our bill is targeted for fbi abuses targeting citizens and ensuring we can address national security threats to our nation. with that, i will recognize my ranking member. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i am very proud to support the fisa authorization act for 2023. for the better part of a year, the house intelligence community has worked collaboratively on an unprecedented basis starting from the premise it is essential we reauthorize section 702 of fisa but we cannot and will not do so without significant reforms. i cannot stress enough the background work that went into this project the last year. frankly i've never seen anything like it in my 15 years in congress. hearing after hearing, hundreds if not thousands of meetings and get-togethers with every element of the government that uses or touches or is interested in section 702 authorities, meeting with fisa judges and bipartisan negotiation. i think i spent more time with this chairman and with chairman warner in the senate than i have spent with family members so this is the product of an immense amount of work over a very techni

threats to national security and sure. section 702 we will sunset. i want to reiterate it authorizes intelligence collection only on foreign persons who possess or communicate specific types of foreign intelligence information the authority does not and what today's bill being marked up will not allow the intelligence community to target any americans without a warrant. section 702 has been reauthorized over the years with very little fanfare. however, this reauthorization is in the spotlight because of the well-documented abuses of the federal bureau of investigation. these abuses demonstrate the need for congressional action in the form of comprehensive meaningful reform. not just section 702 but all of it. coupled with reauthorization of this vital national security tool. this committee with the establishment of an internal bipartisan working group and then paralleled the establishment of a joint republican group with the house judiciary committee has committed itself to identifying problems and finding solutions to make it more efficient and effe

in 1974, as the national security advisor, kissinger directed the very controversial national security study memorandum 200 that found population growth in the least developed countries, serious concern for us national security. gerald ford officially adopted this policy in 1975, although the records were not declassified until the 9. in the immediate future, the republic of south africa can show its dedication to africa and its potential contribution to africa by using its influence in saltzbury to promote a rapid negotiated settlement for majority rule in rodija. the term shuttle diplomacy was adopted after kissinger intervented to end the 1973 arab israeli conflict. he was initially against the us involvement and actually delayed informing president nixon on the conflict, but kissenger did start brokeringing a peace process that was eventually. analyzed by president jimmy carter during the 1978 cam david accords. kissinger left office as the democrat jimmy carter defeated the republican gerald ford in the 1976 presidential election. columbia university offered him an endowed chair p

ivan, from national security, i want to start it, one of the biggest threats to national security, wean consider either straight-talking maryana bezugla or a quiet servant in the office of the chief of staff of the armed forces of ukraine. both are combined into one big we learned a certain answer to all the attacking forces like maryana bezuglai, who are undermining national security from within the country, and we also heard from specialists that in principle, in principle , it is possible to find out who laid what and how on this undercover, at least they said former specialists from the sbu, what is this? the story is yours and how will it end, do we have to wait for a few days of fakes, what surges, showers, new attacks, from the point of view of national security, your analysis, and will we find out who is behind it, yes, or the security service of ukraine, will tell, yes, they will find out, but will we find out? i hope we will find out, the question is here sooner or later, but we will find out, then unequivocally, because today... the technical possibilities are again in the

nation and company. can't do that. steel is always about security as well too. >> do these folks have a point about the security risks here? >> well, certainly this is an argument that goes back to the 1980s when there was a big claim of national security concerns about japanese purchases, everything from american manufacturing companies to semiconductor companies, to movie studios. you probably remember that debate well. i think that the critical issue now is not as much whether there is a national security concern about a cutoff of steel from u.s. steel, that has to depend on where steel plants if at all produce the steel. and every indication is that they plan to keep producing it in the united states. but it would be a national security concern if it was going into the hands of an adversary. with the japanese, i think there is less of a concern today. i'm certain though that this will be reviewed by this very little known committee called the committee on investment in the united states that takes a look at all foreign investments in the u.s. th

host: talking about what message this sends to china as many national security experts believe they are threatening taiwan. there is money in this international aid package for taiwan security as well. bob virginia, independent. -- in virginia, independent. caller: you look nice this morning. i think joe biden's polls are down because he will not do nothing about the border. he needs to step in and agree with the republicans on this deal. all these people that are coming into this country have no place to go except new york and places where they freeze to death. we have to do something to slow this stuff down. they should be putting money down in these countries to help those people in their own countries and they are not doing it. i'm an independent. i'm looking for third-party. i think joe biden is too old and trump has committed treason as far as i'm concerned. that is my opinion. y'all have a nice day. host: on the issue of compromising with republicans there have been negotiations occurring between democrats and senate democrats and senate republicans. a grupo bipartisan lawmakers

cyber command commander takes part in a discussion on national security and intelligence. talks about the nsa's ai security center and collecting facts on foreign nationals outside of the u.s. this is hosted by the intelligence and national security alliance. [indiscernible chatter] >> before we start the program, i have a few announcements. earlier this week, nsa opened registration for our 2024 charlie allen achievement awards. these awards a spotlight the outstanding work being done by the early to mid career professionals across our community. the event will take place on thursday, february 15 at the army-navy club in arlington. our keynote will be nga deputy director tonya wilkerson. it is a really celebratory evening, in my opinion. it is one of the best events of the year. it is really uplifting to hear the stories of the six awardees and what they have been doing at such an early point in their career. all details of this are available on the nsa website. also, you may have sat on this or it got on your way, or perhaps you spilled something on it. in your seats, yo

this committee put national security first and set an example on how to bring by bipartisan bill to the united states house floor. i urge my colleagues to support the ndaa on behalf of our nation and the american war fighters. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. smith: may i inquire again as to how much time is remaining? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington has 3 1/2 minutes. gentleman from texas has five minutes. gentleman from alabama has two. mr. roy: thank you. i am pleased to yield one minute tote gentleman from new jersey, the ranking member on the tactical air force's -- i forget the name of the subcommittee, mr. norcross. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for one minute. mr. norcross: thank you. congress has a really proud tradition passing our annual ndaa and passing this bill is as important as ever. the ndaa is the result of hard work that you've heard both sides supporting our military and providing our war fighters with the tools and the resources they need. this

as director of the national security agency, i would tell you our focus is not only national security, it is the protection of our civil liberties and privacy. it is an authority with the oversight and transparency allowing both of those things to occur. >> i think the report done by the advisory board showed that. it is about the protection of civil liberties, there is the oversight that occurs. >> as we come back to that, it was a critical report. 59% of the presidential daily book is based upon 702 authorities. 20% of our collections at nsa is focused on what 702 allows us. and the ability to have insight of what is going on rapidly. if something occurs, we turn to 702. it is that important for our nation. >> and we have the deputy director of the fbi with us. i think he would say the same. >> i think so. looking at the nsa at the counterterrorism center or the fbi, paul would back us up in what we need to do and provide indication and also provide the warning to people who have been attacked in cyberspace. this is something 702 allows us to do. >> what happens if it doesn't get re

complicating our ability to provide for america's national security. that said, this is an irresponsible group of people and we dealt with this throughout the entirety of this do-nothing republican congress. and so the ongoing discussions. arguing that the house is at whatever agreement is arrived at tentatively, when it's time for us to evaluate it, it has to be consistent with two principles. one, america is a nation of immigrants, that gives us a competitive advantage other china and everyone else. and two, we are a nation anchored in the rule of law. if whatever comes over from the senate is anchored in those two principles, or is at least not inconsistent with those two principles, then i think we'll be able to evaluate it in good faith and every individual member would have to make decisions. we'll go over to this side. reporter: i'm wondering about the future of ukraine funding. beyond this bill, into 2024. a growing number of republicans have expressed doubt over funding for ukraine. what do you see as the long-term future for congress. mr. jef

the number-one national security threat, the most immediate national security threat to americans is our open southern border. do we have to repeat the numbers? 10 million people have crossed the border illegal over the past couple of years. hundreds of known terrorists. all the lights are blinking red right now. all the lights are blinking red. that's what director wray said yesterday up here on the hill. and why wouldn't they with these 1.7 million got-aways throughout the country doing what? if nigh friends across the aisle are serious about the national security supplemental panel, it starts with meaningful security at the southern border, meaningful security, not a process that actually promotes more people crossing the border. it has to include something that impacts asylum and parole. it has to literally secure the border. i think to even begin this next debate. america needs to get its own house in order before we can help fix other people's houses. i understand. the needs across this world are many. and my compassion, my heart, whether it is the people of ukraine, the people

that's essential for our national security as well as israel's national security. this is the piece i keep emphasizing, jim, because folks need to realize that this isn't just about supporting our allies. it's about sending a message to our enemies all around the globe that we're going to stick together, that western democracies are going to stick together, so you can't get away with the kind of criminal activity perpetrated by vladimir putin. there are a lot of other bad people around the world who want to do the same thing. look to iran. look to china. so this is essential to our national security. now, having a strong border is important to our national security as well. but by the way, so is having a pathway to citizenship because i want people to come here, i just want them to come here legally. so let's do that immigration deal that's really not that complicated and at the same time make sure we're getting our allies what they need to win. >> it sounds like it's awfully complicated, bundling all of these issues together and trying to pass some large bill that

guest: it is a national security think tank here in d.c. that deals with a lot of the largest challenges facing the united states of america, whether that is china's rising power or russia's power projection around the world, terrorism, counterterrorism, so at the jamestown foundation, it is a national secured a think tank. host: describe the threat, the cyber threat for our u.s. infrastructure. guest: so the threat -- the best way to describe the threat is these days, unitary power, national security power or civilian critical infrastructure are deeply linked in ways that they might not have been going back half a century. as a result, if you are a nationstate imposed in the u.s. and the potential military conflict, and you are trying to prevent us from prevailing in that conflict, you are targeting are critical input structure, including critical of the structure used primarily partly by civilians and that is just the modern reality of national power.. the threat in event of a conflict, are critical infrastructure is targeted, and it is n

have to get serious about fixing this or not only will we continue to face a major crisis, a national security crisis on our national border, but we won't be able to do with the other threats that we face around the world. the lights are blinking red. the lights are blinking everywhere i turn. if that is not a warning, i don't know what is. you have people pouring across the border every day some of which are on the list. the democrats need to get serious about working with us to make this happen. >> it looks like we have finally gotten president biden's attention. 7 million migrants across our borders since he became president. 1.7 million got a ways. we know how many people were stopped on the terrorist watch list and intercepted but we don't know how many people who are on the watchlist who are among those 1.7 million got a ways. and there is another number. 108 thousand is the number of americans that died of overdoses last year alone. fentanyl comes from mexico. the precursors come from china. and they are made to look like something relatively innocuous. i have been to six different high

with these national security law cases, there is no jury present.re are judges that are handpicked or hand selected by the chief executive of hong kong, the top leader of hong kong. there's a higher threshold for bail. also, the hong kong government has blocked jimmy lai from being represented by a british lawyer. critics point out the national security law has undermined judicial independence in hong kong. hong kong's response to that and china's response to that is that this is a matter of national security and that foreign entities should not interfere. >> all right, kristie lu stout there covering this important trial for us in hong kong, thank you. >>> voters in chile have rejected a new draft constitution to replace the existing one which is a holdover from the dictatorship years of augusto pinochet. it is the second time in less than two years that chileans have rejected proposed changes to their charter. cnn's christopher aloa has more. >> reporter: once more the voters said no. with 99% of the votes counted, 55.7% of chileans decided to go

america overwhelmingly wants the southern border addressed, it represents a national security threat,wn security advisors are telling him. we can't have millions continuing to cross our border and believe that we have, you know, a secure, you know, country with our national security. >> what's the specific on that? the white house is asking for like $14 billion. are you saying the money is not enough? you want an overhaul of the immigration policy that hasn't happened in decades and that to happen in the next three weeks. >> there have been things that have happened. if you look back at the trump administration where they had policies such as remain in mexico, there were policies that were working, that were keeping the southern border controlled, where the number of people -- >> that is a specific ask now. >> with the number of people crossing is diminished. the administration can make changes which other administrations have enforced ha changed the difference. it's the reversal of those policies that have caused biden's southern border policies to be a failure and millions to have e

and national security starts with border security. the senior senator from kansas and i were just meeting with other republican members of the senate to review yesterday's numbers at the southern border, the number of illegal encounters, illegal immigrants coming into this country, an all-time record high of over 12,000 illegal immigrants coming into this country from all over the world. that's the crisis that people all across the country who tune in to their tv's, see what's happening at the southern border, see what is happening in our nation and to our nation. so here we are on the floor of the senate, and senator schumer, the majority leader, wants to vote on $100 billion in national security assistance, and he wants to do it today and we're going to do it today. that request lacks serious and significant changes that are needed to secure the southern border. without serious and significant changes, this bill will not pass, mark my words. republicans will vote against it. republicans and democrats have very opposing views of what

>> it's a national security d.c. that deals with a lot of the largest threats and challenges facing the united states of america, whether that china's rising military power or russian power projection around the world, terrorism, counterterrorism. so the jamestown foundation, it's a classic national security think tank. >> host: describe the threat, cyber threat, to our u.s. infrastructure. >> guest: so the threats, i think the best way to describe the threat is these days military power national security power and civilian critical infrastructure are deeply linked in ways that they might not have been going back half a a centy or something like that. and as a result, if you are someone, if you're a nationstate that is opposing the united states and in the potential military conflict, and you're trying to prevent us from prevailing in that conflict, you are interested in targeting our critical infrastructure including critical infrastructure used primarily or partly by civilians, and that's just the modern reality of

to be very clear, often the overriding national security consideration is to enable the competitiveness of u.s. industries without burdensome licensing conditions while managing any risks of a given activity through other means available to thehe department ad our partners across the national securityty community. finally the administration's proposal includes important authorities by which the department of commerce will be able to conduct a number of inherently civil space situational awareness functions currently handled in the department of defense. the transition of these functions to a civil agency will enable the department of defense to focus our work on the inherently military aspects of the space situational awareness and space domain awareness omissions. the department of defense has worked together with her interagency partners to craft the administration legislative proposal. that proposal accounts for the national security concerns including concerns for sustaining a spaces environment that enables national security space operations. and likewise accounts for u.s. treaty o

national security. last month the board approved a loan for a graphite mine in mozambique to help diversify global supplies of this material, this important mineral away from prc dominance. we also provide support for the small businesses that are the engines of every free and dynamic marketplace. in ecuador, turkey, sri lanka and dozens of other countries we are bolstering the ability of banks and other financial institutions to lend to the small businesses that generate jobs and opportunities. we look to support entrepreneurship and more open economies wherever we work. our strategic competitors do not make these kind of investments. the united states does. food security is another priority area. in effort that has become even more urgent as russia's brutal land a legal war against ukraine and dangerous global agricultural supply chains for communities well beyond the region. additionally, we support more resilient health systems helping to prepare vulnerable communities for the next health emergency.

american national security. we allow people to cross our southern border. this administration labels national security risks by the thousands coming into the cuntry, separate from just the migrants, that are coming for employment. we have individuals they've labeled national security risks, coming into the country. why would we not work to stop that? we can do two things at once. we're the united states of america. these negotiations have been going on months. we've come a long ways and time to make a decision and do what we can to help the nation. we can't do everything on the border, but we can do the things to actualy begin to control the border so that the united states is in control of our boundaries, not the cartels. >> well we will watch and see what you're able to get done in the coming days. thank you for your time. and now for the administration's position on that national security funding package, we turn to the head of the office of management and budget, shalanda young. good morning to you. >> hi. >

alarmingly, the process on the national security package has been on ice for weeks. not because republicans objected to israel aid or aid to ukraine or humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in gaza or the indo pacific but because republicans have injected partisan and extreme immigration measures into the space. let me repeat that. the holdup on the security supplemental has not been over ukraine or israel or the indo pacific but over republican decisions to inject hard right immigration measures into the debate. democrats agree. immigration should be debated and addressed. if republicans want to raise the issue of immigration right now, it is on them to present us with a bipartisan idea. >> chuck schumer. that was back on monday. it has be continuing for weeks and months. had of this vote, out of this briefing, senator patty murray, demoat from washington saying the administration is out of money to support ukraine. now it is up to congress to act with the overwhelmi partisan w -- either step up or support our allies where we chseto give putin the upper hand. mark

the section of homeland security and send to the president through the national security advisor and homeland security advisor a request designate. and i think that should be happening now. so the very first thing we have to do is that and know tie to that is which federal agency is going to be the lead for supporting is that is a yellow 41 no we led there were a lot of ideas in here and for sure no one agreed on any what there was not a consensus but we looked at it hard and i think the area where we landed is the right one, which is that you need a sector respected agency for the overall sector. that's nasser. i think they're uniquely positioned have the relationships they really get at those that economic you know they get at the it all the different elements national security opportunity public health and safety of this issue and but i do recognize like many other sectors, transport, energy. we need subsectors and there needs to be a department defense of a sector for defense, intelligence issues probably managed by the department of ed, as they do the defense industrial base that

we have graduate degrees of law, a master degree for cyber intelligence of national security. host: what is the most important thing the united states can do today to act in the security in the world were talking about? guest: we do not want to be the world's policeman. we are facing threats in various parts of our globe. our partners in ukraine are being attacked by a brutal dictator in vladimir putin. we have seen the terrorist attack in israel against hamas. we see china threatening our allies, taiwan, japan, now it is we see inthe terrorist attack i israel by hamas. we see china threatening our allies. taiwan, japan, the philippines over fishing rights. just over the weekend, we saw a commercial ship attacked by who the rebels in the red sea. they provided aid and was potentially threatened as a result as well. 63 attacks against american soldiers by iranian backed rebels in the last month alone, john. it is not just we have to defend our allies and our friends. we are talking about direct threats here at home and abroad, so it is critical we respond to those attacks, suppo

[video] >> america's national security is on the line around the world. in europe, the middle east and indochina. autocrats and radical extremist are waging war against democracy, against our values, against our way of life. before the year is out support the senate to pass a national supplement package providing aid to ukraine, israel, humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in gaza, deterrence against adversaries in the indo pacific. both parties understand the consequences will be severe if we fail. just this morning omb director shalonda young warned congressional leaders absent action from congress funding to help ukraine will run out by the end of the year. alarmingly, the process on the national security package has been on ice for weeks. not because republicans objected to israel aid or ukraine or humanitarian aid in gaza or the indo pacific, but because republicans have injected partisan and extreme immigration measures into the debate. let me repeat that. the hold up on the security supplemental has not been over ukraine or israel or the indo pac
