to reduce security threats. in that report we recommended the drug are of fps document the assumption and sources used to develop the cost estimate each recommended security measure. as of august of 2022 fps has taken steps to address the recommendations in part by updating its directives and manual for conduct needs assessments. we are now in the process of analyzing with fps actions are fully responsive to our recommendations. next fps data indicate security recommendations are generally not implemented as the chairman mentioned and show between fiscal year 2017 and 2021 fps made more than 25,000 security recommendations at 5000 federal facilities. these recommendations range from physical vulnerabilities to ensuring policy guidance documents. furthermore fps data shows it did not receive a decision as to whether agencies approved or rejected more than half of the 25,000 security recommendations. the data also shows agency's approval of the recommendation does not necessarily mean it will be implemented. 6800

of the chief security officer. it's a very rigorous process, very detailed and thorough analysis of their background in suitability. once they come on board, the office of the chief security officer dhs's also stood up a program. i don't know the exact name of it but is basically a continuous monitoring program. so that individual, let's take me for exit for instance. if tonight i was arrested for some reason, that continuous monitoring program would, the office of the chief security officer would know about that moral. and then he would take action on it based on whatever that circumstance of the arrest was. so it is our goal to make sure that the people we are not involved in any d b etivity and excavating. we hire large mat of veterans. 80% of our law enforcement officers are veterans. i'm a veteran like they are. but the process of the office of the two security of schools to do that, that back on investigation on the perspective employee and their unions monitoring of the employees activity is really helping u

security and our broader national security. and we are certainly focused on that heerks particularly in defending our democratic institutions project where we are focused on promoting the reinvigration of civic education here at home as an imperative for our broader national security. secretary mayorkas knows very well the ways in which the mission to ensure the security and resilience of americans, of our institutions and of our economy here at home is part and parcel of our standing and our security on the global stage. his personal journey, fleeing communist cuba as a child with his parents, and his professional experience, including as a federal prosecutor prosecuting international terrorism, have given him a unique perspective on these issues. secretary mayorkas brings more directly relevant experience to this role than any previous secretary of homeland security. having led a d.h.s. component, the u.s. citizenship and immigration service, and, importantly, having served as deputy secretary of homeland security where i got

our homeland security has converged with our broader national security. those who wish to harm us exploit the openness that defines our modern world. they do so through trade and investment. to the rapidly evolving technologies that connect us. enter information spread around the world by the click of a mouse. homeland security, as we thought of it a 911, safeguarding the united states against foreign terrorism. today it has new meaning. russia has a wider range of tools use against its perceived adversaries. many had 20 years ago all have the capacity to create arms here at home. we know the potential for russia to execute cyber attacks aimed at undermining our economy and our critical infrastructure. and to execute information, influence operations, designed to exacerbate societal friction, so it discord and undermine public trust in government institutions and in our democracy. these tools are not limited to russia. china has both the capability and intent to challenge the rule-based international border, leveraging its instruments of national power to

border security is national security.nd secretary mayorkas's management of the crisis in the southern border has threatened our national security. with less than one week before title 42 expires which will accordingly exacerbate the situation at our southern border. it's time for us to find a dh secretary that can take care of the situation. thank you. >> a now welcome former acting immigration director, tom homan. >> good afternoon. i'm tom homan. i was the ice director under president trump. look, i've been at this immigration enforcements in 1984 -- since 1984. that's when i joined the border patrol. i climbed the ranks to be the first acting director of ice actually came up to the rings. i understand border used to be on the department of justice after 9/11. they put me on dhs. i have worked for five attorney generals. i have worked for nine secretary ies of homeland security. i have worked for six presidents. starting with ronald reagan joe biden, mayorkas is the first president and first cabinet official that came i

security measures. and perhaps also create, again a common understanding on how to resume syria arms control conditions and negotiations. but unfortunately, they offer was not taken up and it's a vest. nato did not seem to be publicly interested, but frankly also from the russian federation. i did not really a sense this urgency to kind of get back and try to reinvigorate this arms control architecture. so that was, i think, my lack of interest to all the relevant stakeholders. and this was frustrating and look, and the same is true for the other example that i wanted to address. and that is it means agreements. you know, that i tried to deal with the conflict in the, in the don't boss. and i think of course, being far from perfect, but they would have re present the blueprint to resolve at least the conflict ended on boss. and partly, bob fit the exception of a relatively short period of time. i think that was never at the same time, at a genuine political commitment on either side to take a decent agr

did your time in the committee on world food security take on board that the most successful food security operation can be made by copying? perhaps the chinese communist party. why it's actually my experience before the see about when i was a diplomat living in china. i got 1st and to witness the way the chinese work. and if you go back to the late seventy's after the cultural revolution, helping introduce market reforms, which actually input private sector and the profit motive into play, which is what help drive china's rather remarkable experience in bringing that many people out of poverty. so yes, china is a member of the cfs, china's active in the f, a o as you know, and, and the director general, the of those is chinese. and so their experience does bear on, on, on everything from research and science to know the way the global system in trade works. don't, don't shelter by clearly because you get the for, i mean, you are unesco as well. you saw how that the money dried up on, on that one. obviously the kind of private sector increased involvement in the market reforms in china. ve

national security advisor o'brien. they were taking tsmc out of taiwan and putting them and take arizona has pilot program. this bill would lead to much larger efforts to bring or keep manufacturing in the united states on such an important national security assets. to bring trillions of dollars here, not overseas, but most importantly, protecting this key national security asset. everything from your phone to your vehicle. from my perspective, the most advanced weapons systems have vast chips. that was a generational transformational bill that the intelligence community says is going to make a big difference in how we confront china. >> you are an author of the chips act. that was going to be my next question, would you address that. i know you are also a leader on export controls. i was wondering if you could talk about what was happening there. we have essentially been selling china a lot of advanced technology and you have been calling for stronger controls. what do we need to do to protect this critical technology

definition of security for the west here. but it just supposed to that, i mean, the more they get tight security wise more they fall out, fall out economically. and that is, that is a tension that is really, really going to address that for 30 seconds. i think it's, it's very unfortunate that geopolitics kills economy all over the world these days . and. ready creating conflict, this is a very certain token of it. yeah. in, in. well, what you can, both of them can continue on the same trajectory and then there's going to be some kind of tension, some kind of break your heart gentlemen. i'm going to jump in here, we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on some real new stables. ah, ah, the balkan conflicts been simmering for some time or so that she was a sub scott, a. l. damian's demanded the cause of a subs changed car license plates. in other words, they recognized cost of either if you for the wrong with grade refuse because of a is serbia. so discriminating against ser

definition of security for the west year. but they just opposed to that. i mean, the more they get type security wise more they follow how far out economically in that is, that is a tension. and that is really, really good. can you just address that for 30 seconds? i think it's, it's a very unfortunate the geopolitics kills economy. all over the world, these days, a very certain token of it. yeah. in, in. well, what you can, both of them can continue in the same trajectory or there's going to be some kind of tension, some kind of break. there are gentlemen, i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on some real estate. ah, ah, a kid and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground. ah ah, ah ah. well the magic crossed out were all things are considered on funeral. well, this is the home addition to remind you. we're discussing surreal news ah. over to georgia, budapest church, which one

definition of security for the west here. but it just supposed to that, i mean, the more they get tight security wise more they follow how far out economically in that is that is an attention that is really, really good. can you just address that for 30 seconds? i think it's, it's a fair. unfortunately, the geopolitics kills economy all over the world is day and night cream conference . this is a very certain token of it. yeah. in, in. well, what you can, both of them can continue in the same trajectory, or there, there's going to be some kind of tension on kind of break. there aren't gentlemen, i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on some real estate r t. ah. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. a list of course renewed i speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine, or wish you were banding all in p

security. so all of these things have come into play as people have looked at the solution and said, hey, you know, work longer. that's going to work out what. we came to think, is that this question, this possibility, as you said, has not been. well examined, hasn't really been thought through the way that it needs to be and hasn't been of critiqued and queried in the way that it needs to be. and so that's really what we out to do with the book is to say, okayhow realistic is this for people to be able to delay retirement? and usually in terms delaying retirement, you know, people talking about like, well, can we delay retirement from 65 to 67? say the in the us, the full retirement age for social security has been increasing gradually from 65 to 67. and some people suggest that it should be 70 years old or higher. so you know, if the retirement ages is increasing, you know, maybe this is going to work out. but when look at the when we looked at the problem, what we is that the averages look p

to start social security, social security is the absolute backbone of retirement security in the u.s. about 9 in 10 of americans over age of 65 receive social security for a substantial proportion of people it's their main or only source of income in retirement. it's been called for good reason, america's largest anti-poverty program. the fact of social security really shrinks inequalities, economic inequalities in older ages as one of our chapters, by gary demonstrate. so social security is hugely, hugely critical and important and it's hugely popular. it's very popular with voters of both parties. and i think with good reason. so social security hugely important. social security is facing a funding shortfall. it has been for many years and successive administrations have not seized the opportunities to make the changes that would be needed to close the shortfall so what does that mean? i think a lot of people, you know, there's a sort of story of like, oh, social security's going broke. that's actually not correct. what the situation is is that social security it's called a pay as y

well, russia, paradoxically, really brazenly took this place in the security council without being ader in the democratic world or a fighter for democratic values, without being a fighter for peace different missions, she never ended wars, she only started them, er, russia was never the economic leader of the world in order to have a strong position, a strong word in the world, and actually all these factors are very paradoxical from the point of view of the presence of russia in the security council and they must be resolved , of course we understand that there are not many opportunities there and that this is not a very narrow corridor and that our diplomats should go in order to achieve at least some partial concessions from other countries, namely russia it is the main barrier to this, at least before that it was, but judging by the position that is demonstrated today not in the ministry of foreign affairs, judging by the position of the president of ukraine and the office of the president, i think that today is probably the biggest a chance in ukraine to achieve this diplomatic

definition of security for the west here. but it just opposed to that, i mean, the more they get tight security wise, the more they follow how far out economically in that is that is a tension. and that is really, really good. can you just address that for 30 seconds? i think it's, it's very unfortunate the geopolitics kills economy all over the world with very certain token of it in well, what you can, both of them can continue on the same trajectory, or there's going to be some kind of tension, some kind of break. there are gentlemen, i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on some real new statements. ah ah ah, lisa canter, russian state control narrative. i've started as i phone and ignore some scheme div us. mm hm. the american house southland sent me equal in 55, will be paid. okay, so mine is to farm speaking with we will van in the european union, the cremeans community up machine estate aunt rush up to date and school r t spoke neck. giv

council, the authors of the resolution, congressman vkontakte, wilson heads the commission on security and cooperation in europe, also known as the helsinki commission notes that in light of russia's unprovoked invasion of ukraine and the ongoing war against ukraine, russia's presence in the un security council violates the goals and principles of the united nations, the resolution calls on the administration to begin working through the state department and other agencies with allied partners and other countries to limit , suspend or terminate the rights and privileges used by the russian federation in the un security council in accordance with the united nations charter natsii kondra also calls for consideration of the historical legitimacy of russia's membership in the security council . but we would like to revise it because they can block any efforts of the un to establish peace, which is one of the main functions of the organization and the reason for its creation earlier on october 12, the authors of the resolution sent a letter to the us secretary of state anthony blinkino urgi

well, to remind you we're discussing security guarantees. ah, let's go back to anthony and where things are, you know, it's interesting that in the mainstream it's her bowden to talk about what we're talking about on this program here. and one of the things it's not talked about is that a european security architecture would not only excluded russia, but was excluded russian was against russia. and this is something that if we're going to have peace in europe, has to be rectified. and given the voices that we're hearing in europe and in obviously, washington in london, we have all very long way to go. maybe a generational issue. go ahead anthony. yes, us, that's very true. but we got to recognize what the real agenda is here and totals he got on to the american color tissue are sounded hot for a well when she said the ukraine war is all about regime change in russia. and it's not really about anything else. and it's about our guidelines vested interest, that late are too big about changes so that they get that he come to russia ah, plays the

see, any country needs to have some security and the united states wanted security where we had the cuban missile. ready crisis and you, you have to look at what are the former president gorbachev said arden because he was the architects of agreements between the old soviet union and the laser. and he said, a, you may not humiliate a country and expect prayer where to be no consequences. and of course, there are consequences. good mas bachelor. pamela really hates any russia, which is what's been happening now. but it's as though these agreements we had, ah, the helsinki, the, this, the structures we have in place to reduce tension. i have been totally ignored, as, as he said. and the voice is for peace, are shut down and a, one of the objectives of nation nato is c supposed to be, to protect freedom. but there's a freedom in the, in the west at the moment about our free and open debate each. well, this whole issue, and is it really impressive? nice. i countryside conflicts with russia, ukraine, and it really isn't. so we all have to look at our interest in the countries point of view. th

ah cross sucking security guarantees. i'm joined by my guess. the boy mileage in washington, he is a blogger, and calm is in quebec. we have dmitri last caught us. he is a lawyer and freelance journalist and, and we're thing, we crossed anthony webber. he is an independent political commentator. all right, gentlemen, cross huck rules and effect, that means you can jump in any time you want and i always appreciated a boy, let me go to you 1st in the imperial city. um, this idea of indivisibility of security has been quite lost. and ever since the end of the cold war, because it was the hallmark of the helsinki process, and nato is just thrown that into the wind. and i would say that speak the in, that is the be the result is a conflict. do we have in ukraine, though? no one in the west seems to want to use that logic, but it was the west and the soviet union that came up with that logic that kept the peace in europe during the cold war. so what are they missing? go ahead and boucher, well this, do you are quite correct. this was where it ended, t

security will be an order. the committee's meeting today to receive testimony on worldwide threats to homeland. without objection the, chair has authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. good morning, today the committee is holding its annual hearing to examine worldwide threats to the homeland's. we are pleased to have secretary homeland security alejandro mayorkas, fbi director christopher wray and and cpc director christine abizaid. two years ago that committee convened its worldwide threats hearing during some of the e darkest days of the pandemic. last, year the panel testified for the committee and the immediate aftermath of the attack on the u.s. capitol. no matter the circumstances, the committee in the american people have benefited from the witnesses frank assessment of the threats facing the homeland both foreign and direct domestic. more than 20 years after the terrorist attacks of september 11th of 2001, 20 years this month since the department of homeland security was established

about the operational security. when you think about operational security, your think more about your changing your own behavior in order to mitigate the damage. so for example, i'll use a certain type of device for certain types of communications that are on a higher risk of getting why intercept it. then i'll separate that from my personal life. these considerations often help much more than say, buying hardware which are regarded as more secured me the when the internet 1st emerged, the hope was that it will become a new free space for everyone. today it's largely controlled by big companies and government agencies. if we're going to safeguard our privacy, we need to learn how to protect ourselves from. the problem is that no major political force has managed to articulate the vision for what the digital world might look like. wait, not run by this, either on the imaginative firms who can only think of selling advertising madness as the level of public organize the entire system. we cannot conceive of infrastruct

a secure border is national security. this week has been a very typical week for us in south texas.our border patrol agents elon, the ones who dedicate their lives to protect us, they are not receiving the support they need missing ministration. and that is one of the top things i've heard from a foreign border patrol agent. that is across the southern border. there's a lack of action from the dhs leadership. they are dressing the border patrol morale. our border patrol agents are understaffed, now provided with the resources they need to succeed, and they are spending time processing asylum claims that of doing the job they signed up to do. tragically, in the last week, to border patrol agents took their own lives. they left behind families and created a hole in their community. question number one, secretary mayorkas, the historic level of illegal alien apprehensions and crossings anti border all combined with the limited resources and personnel to handle the large influx of migrants. that has caused a steep decline in morale among the border patrol workforce. a no other departmen

and is here today to talk to us about the convergence of homeland security, that a broader national securityainly focused on that here nat csis and in our project we are focused on promoting the reinvigoration of the civics education, here at home and as an imperative for our broader national security and he knows very well the ways in which the mission to ensure the security and resilience of americans, of our institutions, and every economy, here at home in part and parcel of her standing, and our security on the global stage. his personal journey, clean communist cuba has a child his parents as professional experience including is a federal prosecutor capturing international terrorism and here's the department of homeland security have given him a unique perspective on these issues. sec. mayorkas brings more directly relevant experience to this role than any previous secretary of homeland security. having let it dhs components, thee u.s. citizens novation services, reportedly having served as deputy secretary of homeland security where i got to knowto him or got to see firsthand, his succ

the deputy chairman of russia's security the deputy chairman of russia's security council said that for russia it would be council said that for russia it would be council said that for russia it would be great if the teams on the field in doha great if the teams on the field in doha great if the teams on the field in doha were argentina and morocco and he was were argentina and morocco and he was were argentina and morocco and he was half right but it's not like midwedev half right but it's not like midwedev half right but it's not like midwedev had a lot to choose from in the sense had a lot to choose from in the sense had a lot to choose from in the sense that there is actually no one for russia that there is actually no one for russia that there is actually no one for russia to root for of russia's known enemies to root for of russia's known enemies to root for of russia's known enemies only a few countries even came to qatar only a few countries even came to qatar only a few countries even came to qatar along with morocco and argentina maybe along with morocco and argentina may

, which as you know, includes the obligation not to ensure one security at the cost of the security of other states. and now finally, at least we're seeing from emanuel micron, the 1st one it seems right now who seems to be listening and understanding that russia needs to defends itself and needs to make sure that the security is in place . and in order for that to happen, countries need to listen. nato needs to listen to, to russia, security needs. after all that we say it does that seem like a promising sign? doesn't it, that someone like mac crohn might be calling for negotiations, or what are some of the am ukraine's other western ally saying at this point? this is very promising indeed. bought again, we're seeing the summer rhetoric play out. we saw earlier. ah, that's a manual micron is a sell out all his trying to please of vladimir putin here, of course, is appalled of because he doesn't want anyone to listen to moscow's needs. it just sees moscow and the aggressor, it doesn't understand why it sorted this. sir. specialists and military operation that just makes it sound like,

said there has to be security guarantees. your thoughts, anthony? well, the problem is, sir, there's a huge amount of distrust which has been caused by what's happened because has been rightly said from the 19 ninety's when the cobra ended. and they were these assurances, but there wouldn't be an expansion of nato, even though they weren't in written format. ah, but the problem is since the end of the cold pool, ah, they chose early, massively expanded it, especially since the town of the century. i'll say it's been a complete our sense of distrust there, because why should the need russia, i trust, and a p p, glen nato, a. but i yourself to look at the situation office, see any country needs to have some security. and the united states warms id security where may have the cuban missile. ready crisis and you have to look at what are the former president gorbachev said, and because he was the architects with agreements between the old soviet union and the laser. and he said a, you may not humiliates a country. and it spec prep where to be no conseque

we are talking about the responsibility for ourin own security and for the security of our allies. so it's absolutely necessary to say in the first place about your own defense. because how can you be a reliable nato partner if you don't have the means in terms of the weapons? >> let me speak to you before we go to the audience for q&a which is energy security. again my recollection for my time in brussels anytime your polish diplomats in brussels would hear my american accent they would say why did you americans talk to the chairman's about nord stream? you are bypassing us. this is not something we support, and wife are there not being good allies? this is an argument whole doesn't make it for decades and now we come to a point where the rest of europe is woken up to the sacked and is trying to diversify away from russia. how confident are you, let me ask you, do you think we started too late and how confident are you the transition that sappy now that we will see alternate sources of energy in time for come if not this winter, next winter? >> well, let meta elaborate firt previo

security operations. fps deployments, for example, have helped in securing federal facilities during protests and housing units for migrants in the southwest boarding region. as a final point, staffing is also an important consideration as f bs continues to have shortages. in june 2010, when fps was in the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, we reported the fps had difficulty obtaining the needed staff. fps had not field 20% of its authorize possessions, including about 200 law enforcement positions. we're currently conducting work on these changes. onsince fdr's move to the management directorate and how they are collaborating to address fps staffing shortages. we expect to release an issue on this work by the end of 2022. chairman correa, ranking member meijer, and members of the subcommittee. this concludes my statement, i'm happy to answer your questions. >> thank you very much, i want to thank all the witnesses for your testimony and i'll remind the subcommittee that each one of us has

energy security and national security are linked.with maria" last week as the department of energy announced it will start repurchasing crude oil for the strategic petroleum reserve. you may remember in the summer when energy prices were swarming president biden tapped the spr to ease the burden on american consumers. let's bring in robert o'brien the former national security advisor and the trump administration. ambassador, thank you so much for joining us. energy is national security. >> merry christmas. jason: merry christmas by the way. but energy is national security and i'm really concerned about what china is doing and its efforts to force this and green energy where we have to go to china in order to make these products. >> jason, you are 100% right. it's good to see were refilling the strategic petroleum reserve. that is there for an emergency, war, natural disaster. and try to get oil prices down before the midterms. we sold oil that we purchased at a low price in our buying at a high price. probably not a great economic bu

but my point is a lot less interested in security at the end of the day and rushes primary issue is security. go ahead, ma'am, right indeed, and i want to where you left off in saying that the very rationale behind the beginning of the special military operation. i know people have a lot of understandings are not entirely clear what exactly you know, being asked if the patient in transitioning with to put it in very kind of terms. russia, the what it did to produce favorable security outcomes for itself and it's near rod when and then the security outcomes in the last few years. we're not cheap enough in russia's favor, so whatever to love, whatever sholtes were, micron have to say about whether, how it russia should be engaged. there's got to be this idea in mind that the, the security outcomes for russia should be engaged in their st calculation. and thinking, and here i think a lot of people in moscow have all are including in foreign policy domain and then for policy making circles are very skeptical about how serious and independent of policy makers, micron shows are at the end of the d

let's make it so that the attack of the security system is impossible without i absolutely agree with you, mr. pavlo, that the system that existed did not protect us, and it was more like virtual agreements about this security, and i completely agree with you that this is the biggest war not only of the 21st century, but probably of the last 77 years i would say so because this is the largest continental war on the european continent and when the second world war ended, the league of nations, which was created in the 20th year , ceased to exist because it did not fulfill its task, e.e. with our victory in the war against russia and in general let 's say that with the victory of the civilized world over russia, can we expect a reformation, as it was in the 45th year of the league of nations, some other organization of the united nations, now already into some other organization, international security, yes, of course, you mentioned the league of nations is constantly i claim that the league of nations had greater determination and a greater will, remember the ussr, they already threw i

the security threats are coming from outside, we're responding to them. you know, we don't want to get involved in any kind of military operation unless it's a necessity. so defensive war, we want to continue to focus on our economic development or on our defense industry on investing more in education or health system. trade industry, export, import, and other things. but when your face, as a country with a security threat, you have to respond to it. so this is not something that you're in whiting, but you know, say the war in syria. instability insecurity in iraq. the station say in the caucasus, or in the gym or the war in ukraine. you don't, we don't, we have not started this worse. we will, we have no interest in continuing any of this conflicts to the country. we've been telling everybody all stakeholders that region peace and security is in the interest of everyone. so let's try to find a solution. the relation with predominantly procured a dish, h d, p, and curves in general in turkey. have all these been delicate issues. so what is now happening

to promote them, because legal security, security guarantees can be provided only and exclusively bymember, this was said somewhere in the middle. e. it's years after the astana summit, our treaty, the draft european security treaty was rejected by the west. well , then there were more than one attempt, including in december last year, as you know, we proposed two documents one russian american treaty, the second agreement between russia and nato where no more no less. we simply proposed to confirm, in the already deficient legal sense, what was proclaimed in the nineties, in fact, in astana, paris , and so on, they did not listen to us and said that for the west it was stoltenberg. he said, the only one from this formula of the indivisibility of security. the only thing that needs to be maintained is the right of each country to choose its alliances. and an integral part of this formula that says, but you can’t do this, infringing, the security of any other country is ignored, as well as the third component of this formula, which says that no organization has the right to dominate t
