reiterate over and over again, the law enforcement agencies, the border patrol, those that i work for, all we're trying to do is protect united statesople that are protesting against microsoft, how many more children do we have to have raped in this country, how many u.s. citizens have to be murdered by illegal aliens before people put politics behind them. rob: let's look at a quick response from microsoft. the first line, microsoft now workinnotworks with the u.s. got related to separating children from their families at the border. the fact they have to respond this way it kind of sad to me. are these big corporations being bullied by groups like this and forced if they want to protect their profits into behaving in a way that's almost ridiculous. >> they are being bullied. unfortunately, a lot of these companies are starting to acquiesce to the political pressure and the special interest groups. if that happens, the united states suffers. carley: the head of border patrol announced so far this year, over 400 ms-13 gang members have been arrested and 933 gang members overall. that seems like a pretty big number and a number that

united states. differentork out with law-enforcement enforcement agencies that are coordinating with each other to make sure we protect the public. we would make sure that we are prepared to track individuals who have become radicalized in the united states and are attempting to travel abroad. ago, two college students were radicalized and were arrested porting an airplane in mississippi with the intent to join isis in the middle east. we must be prepared to fight each and every day and remain vigilant as a nation, and law enforcement. the chairman talked about the hearing on global terrorism you held this week and he was disappointed that numbers of the fbi and the like did not show up. did you express that? guest: there will be a second part in which members of the fbi will appear before the committee and testify. because of the timing of the hearings, they were unable to be there. i am aware they do intend to testify this month before the department of homeland security. we will be able to make inquiries of them as to their preparation and what they see as their existing and future threats against our country. to l

s many agencies from customs and border protection to the united states coast guard have an born role to play when it comes to combating opioid trafficking. if the homeland security investigations is looking into fentanyl distribution ring, for example in omaha, they need to coordinate efforts with customs officers in el paso so that packages en route to nebraska are properly interdicted. the j.t.f. model is intended to ensure this coordination is baked into the culture at d.h.s. so that cases don't slip through the cracks. so congress recognized the value of secretary johnson's pilot j.t.s. when we formally authorized them in 2016. as new challenges confront the department, we must make use of this organizational structure in innovative ways to maintain the synergies that drove the creation of d.h.s. in the first place. stopping proliferation of fentanyl is particularly well suited to this approach. unlike many -- like many more traditional, fentanyl is often shipped directly to dealers from overseas. fentanyl's extremely high potency allows these shipments to be small enough to go u

agencies to protect the homeland against foreign threats and those threats can come from outside attacks were people who are foreign agents working on behalf of the foreign power operating inside the united states. the idea is we are better off separating the law enforcement function from the national security function of protecting the country against foreign threats. in our country what we have always fought is the best way to handle the challenge of the threats to security is to have those the wall enforcement and national security mission housed in the same agency and the fbi so they have one side of their agency is the criminal law enforcement side coming into the other side is what is known as counter foreign intelligence or national security. the reason we do it that way is the idea is the two missions can actually leverage each other. one of the best ways you can get intelligence for people is by developing criminal cases on them the cause and if you like they might be prosecuted, that gets them to talk. sometimes the criminal prosecutions can help our intelligence mission and it can work the other way as well. we treated terrorism is eventually as a criminal justice problem. but that n

that the united states is currently the only major democracy without a centralized agency governing cybersecurity. although we have multiple federal agencies that have some role to play in protecting elections, there's no clear place that a local county that's concerned about lacki ihacking to. i read this report that explains there are single centralized cybersecurity agencies that coordinate national security in australia, canada and new zealand. it reports in the united states, international cybersecurity efforts must go through multiple u.s. agencies, including nsa, dhs and fbi. i'm really interested in this idea of centralized and cohesive coordination of our nation's cybersecurity to better protect from foreign and domestic threats. mr. burt, i want to thank you for your work and say how proud i am that washington state is microsoft's home state and that i have the honor of representing many, many, many microsoft workers as my constituents. i think you have brought up some really -- you have done some really important work with the election guard technology. i'm curious -- i know you just released it. is it actually in use anywhere yet? are we using it in washington, i guess

. >> in the book i write that the environment protection agency recently reported that carbon emissions from energy output in the united statesywood elites and the establishment media will tell you are so busy actually screaming that america needs to lead and do more on climate change they are so busy doing that they fail to realize thought united states has actually reduced its carbon emission levels for nearly three decades. steve: why wouldn't they want to tell anybody that. >> that's a long time. the democrats are pushing a 16 trillion-dollar green new deal bill that will certainly raise taxes on the middle class and fundamentally transform the united states economy as we know it. but those same democrats can't explain their plan to force the world's largest polluters, endia, china, and russia to reduce their carbon emissions levels. ainsley: when did you find out they don't want us to know about silicon valley. >> tech elites think they know what's best for voters they literally spy on us and control what we see in our social media news feeds. google just happens to be one of the worst actors in silicon valley. dr. epste
