i would like to turn to dhs. since 2012 we have reported on challenges and implement it by watch, a system to detect airborne bio attacks. just last year we reported on challenges in an effort to upgrade the system moved to bd21 . we found it faces a number of technology challenges and uncertainties of combining these technologies for use in the domestic environment. it is very different than trying to do it in a lab or the war environment. it is a huge challenge. the false alarm issue is still a big problem that has to be overcome so dhs can more quickly detect threats in these environments. we found the office has struggled to develop an effective surveillance system. integration center has struggled to fulfill its mandate and provide value to its partners. under the committee is also interested in the effectiveness of the office in general since the office was set up and reorganize. overall i think the office is on a better track and is beginning to mature several years after being created. morale has improved

it has been painful watching the dhs try over and over again, like pushing a boulder up the mount to create a biodetection system that serves the needs of the nation. mr. chairman, ranking member, and members of the committee i suggest to you that 19 years is long enough for things to have gone on the way they have with this program. we recommend that you either shut it down or replace it with a program that works the way you want it to. our states, localities and taxpayers deserve no less and the good people working in the department of homeland security deserve some relief. and i want to applaud the biodefense efforts of fema, coast guard, ice, tsa and cisa to defending the nation against biological threats and deserve your oversight and support. but as you encounter the bioweapons destruction office, i urge the committee to define its role. it lacks direction and it needs direction and guidance from you. thank you again for the opportunity to come before you today with the concerns and recommendations of the bipartisan commission on biodefense. would i like to thank hudson institu

department of defense and agriculture and hhs and dhs. this bill has not been completed looking back at after action reports done in the years after covid-19 many of thosed challenges in response were identified prior act exercises and after action review. prior exercisesse and reports from events like ebola and others found that coordinating at the federal level in between the fence and the states with the challenge probably saw this to be the case in the covid response as it relates to supply-chain. the problem is these gaps were not close because nobody was accountable for closing them. and wound we will close all of them that we have to make sure the lessons learned from covid on the exercises in the future not forgotten. turning to dhs and the bio defense since 2012 we have reported on challenges that is a system to detect the newborn attackd . >> we found this faces a number of technology challenges with the inherent limitations of the technology and the uncertainty of combining these technologies for use in the domestic environment

as well as within the federal agencies, and dhs. also to collect intelligence that might be gleaned from people who come across the border. whether it is people who are taking into secondary, ask to questions, this kind of thing. intelligence, important information that can be helpful to the intelligence community, to dhs, to our local partners, it is developed and then we are responsible for helping to channel that intelligence into i&a, and make that into actionable, and political product. >> as you know, given the volume of people that have come across the border in the last year, some 2 million, that by the way, it does not count the getaways, it has always struck me as odd that we try to estimate people we never see the number, but we know it is more than our national detained around the border. and among those, law enforcement has identified people with criminal records, multiple offenses, drug smuggling, sex offenders and the like. currently, there is no process in place to actually do biometric identification of the people w

does dhs and do other entities, including c.d.c. that have biosecurity programs, effectively leverage research universities? is there a good leadership with academia? >> i'll make this short. early in the life of dhs there was the creation of university centers of excellence and that's been, i think, a very good and effective program to engage academia. now, the threats have evolved and priorities have evolved over time and what i've observed as biosecurity has been downgraded in importance, centers of excellence and early days there was several -- there was two, three, senators that were focused on agriculture biosecurity and good security and those have been emeritus status today. >> so it sounds like that could be revamped as it was perhaps after the anthrax attacks and other incidents? >> correct. >> and i think that's one thing that's missing in the current system is having a more formalized way to access some of our great advantages in the country which is our research universities. we talked earlier how some countries are ahe

i also would hope to hear a little about how you ensure that dhs intelligence and analysis isn't being used or even reasonably perceived which in many ways is important, perceived to be used by either party for whoever is in power, under the guys, for example of pursuing domestic violent extremists. the worst times in the history of our intelligence age aengss have been when they are used or perceived to be used for purposes of political advantage and skmz at a time when there's a broader crisis of confidence in institutions in this country, but again, none i think more damaged over the last few years rightly or wrongly in many casings than the intelligence community, so i think it's more important than ever to do whatever is possible to ensure there's both the perception and reality that the ioc reflects between so both policy makers and the american public can have confidence that their assessments are real so those are important points to touch upon. thank you for being here, we look forward to hearing your testimony and answering to our questions. >> thank you, vice chairman, now a

also former nypd detective and former acting dhs secretary chad walther. the backlash against this politicians and media, companies accused of whitewashing china's genocide and human rights abuses as the olympics in china began today. look at the center marker rubio's tweets the immediate democrats justify lethal rights here that killed 30 people paid the same people and alcohol truckers who just want to work. they're calling them a racist and fascist. also weiss house speaker nancy pelosi telling athletes to say silent on china? we have got it. a deeper look at the house gop allegations that dr. fauci did pressure scientists into changing their initial position from efforts against covenant and looks like it did leak from lab to know. dr. fauci then gave them research grant money part also politicians breaking their own master mandate rule. school officials caught barricading students in school gymnasium. threatening children not wearing masks with trespassing. a new judge ruling against the no mask policy in virginia, we have got it. and a push back on w

dhs of course doesn't say. they don't want to actually give you facts, which is why the center to advance security is demanding that dhs turn over records showing how they make these determinations. as dhs conjures up phony threats, the pentagon embraces a real one. the dod actually tweeted something yesterday that goes like this. news, diversity, equity, and inclusion are necessities in the u.s. military. now, this had a lot of people extremely concerned, but not the pentagon. >> this argument of wokeness in the military. i was in the military for 30 years and i can tell you things like diversity and inclusion, that makes us a better military because it brings to the fore somebody else's lived experiences might actually make a smart on the battlefield. >> laura: is he criticizing his 30 years in the military? joining us now, dennis desousa, conservative commentator, and stephen miller, founder of the america first legal and former trump senior advisor. the real threat to this country that they're trying to map

part of that of course is the dhs grants and i would like to ask all of the witnesses how has the dhs prepared the grant to help further develop your communication strategies? i'd like to ask the witnesses and we will start with you. i appreciate the question, congresswoman. it is an essential part of our ability to be interoperable. since 2003, the national capital region has received about $1.2 billion of preparedness grants which most has been spent to upgrade radio systems to make them more interoperable. there are a lot of local budgets that are impacted by having to upgrade radio systems every year and then we do a larger placement of the regional cash every ten years. so that cost is about 10 million per year to do upgrades to the system. the other challenge that we have and we appreciate the subcommittee's assistance for what we have to spend the grant on and as we enter a period we have to be very flexible the mandatory minimums which account for about 30% of the grants that all of the regions get and kind of put these limits on what it is we can spend when we need to remain

i haven't seen the dhs version. if it's anything like the dod calling it a hair brained plan is too kind. it's absurd and sinister, absurd because on face of it, it's unconstitutional, article 1 section 4 gives the authority over federal elections to the states. and in terms of authority, most americans don't realize how many law enforcement authorities and regulatory authorities homeland security has. it doesn't have this. when i was at sisa, we were looking to strengthen the election security, we had to get concept, per mention to do vulnerability assessments or malware assessments. we barge in and seize the machines is laughable. it would never have been carried out. also i think it's also sinister in that you take it apart, homeland security which is professionally responsible to patriotic security and emergency management and when poppize it for political purposes for all dhs employees and alumni. >> i want to ask you about that in a moment, should trump run and win again, gloria, the "new york times" says trum

as dhs conjuresna phony threats, the pentagon embraces a real one . the dod actually tweeted something yesterday that goes likeay this news diversity, equity, inclusion arews necessities in the us military. now this had m a lot of people extremely concerned but not the pentagonrn. this argument of a wokeness in the military i was in the military for 30 years and i can tell you things like diversity d and inclusion that makes us a better military because it brings to the to the fore somebody lived experiences which might actually make us smarter on the battlefield. right. criticizing his 30 years in the military than joining us now, dinesh d'souza, a conservative commentator usous and host of the denaturalizes a podcast, and stephen miller, founder of the america a legal and former trump senior adviser dinesh the real threat to this country that they're trying to map out forin are the people of p this countryeo who are nowtr overwhelmingly rejectingy biden's agenda. does that does that mean like the fifty eight percent disapprove? >> they're all potent

we begin tonight with the dhs bulletin. it seems to link "misleading narratives to terrorist threats." chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is on this very important case for us tonight. good evening, trace. >> reporter: shannon, good evening. the bulletin talks about foreign and domestic violence on things like soft targets, mass gatherings and religious institutions, but the very top of the bulletin meaning point number one appears to be targeting free speech quoting here, the proliferation of false or misleading narratives which sew discord or undermine public trust in u.s. government institutions, and both the dhs secretary alejandra mayorkas and the bulletin site multiple factors including, quoting, mis, dis, and malinformation introduced and/or amplified by threat.

consent toplace in the record thenational terrorism advisory bulletin that was issued yesterday by dhs . >> wwithout objection . >> so let's be clear about hollywood, the holly hill. this was not an isolated incident. the last five years has seen a 60 percent increase in anti-somatic incidents nationwide with 20/20 marking the third highest amount since adlbegan tracking these incidents in 1970 . we felt this acutely in the state of michigan where i'm from where we saw 21 percent increase from graffiti swastika on buildings to bombings. in the weeks after colleyville it's become clear that the tragedy has s.become a rallying point for eight and extremism of all kinds. al qaeda supporters, white supremacists, holocaust deniers, q-anon conspiracy theorists have seized on to this tragedy for their own twisted and. this growing threat can be demoralizing but our services will note we are far from powerless against it . today we have the rare ability to not only discuss the tools we know are effective in protecting against violent hate but to hear from someone who can its value better than

to that end, faa is working with dhs and dod along the aviation cyber initiatives. still, as the u.s. up grades its transportation infrastructure, d.o.t. must continue to strengthen and secure its i.t. systems and networks while working to improve its efforts to respond to increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns. we remain committed to supporting d.o.t.'s efforts at works to remediate existing vulnerability and bolster overall cybersecurity posture. we will continue to update you on our work and these related manners. this concludes my prepared statement. i would be happy to address any questions from you or members of the committee at this time. >> thank you, mr. dorsy. now, finally, this is ridiculous, mr. nick marinos. >> thank you chairman, ranking member graves and members of the committee for inviting gao to contribute to this discussion about critical infrastructure security. as you know, our nation's infrastructure increasingly relies on i.t. systems and the protection is critical to public confidence, safety and security. gao long emphasized th

you were dhs secretary. what do you think is going on behind had scenes right now in the united states writ large to prevent this? >> well, unfortunately, the ambassador bridge in particular has been the potential for a choke hold on our commerce between the united states and canada for some time. 25% of commerce between our two countries passes over the four-lane ambassador bridge and feeds into city streets in windsor. imagine, for example, the george washington bridge in new york city feeding into west 178th street rather than i-95. fortunately there's a second bridge being built a few blocks there in detroit. can't happen soon enough. it's incumbent on at the federal level, state and local officials to plan for the possibility of some sort of blockade on key choke holds around the united states, in new york, in california and elsewhere. and i'm quite shush, you know, that the nypd, for example, is doing that. i'm sure that the california highway patrol is doing that. and we need to be sure that we've got

the fbi and dhs are correct in that. if you look at the division of resources, that is -- that is a clear priority choice and absolutely correct. it is not that we don't have the threats of islamic terrorism as we saw at the synagogue a couple of weeks ago. but this is the primary threat. the good news that i tell people is that it is not -- no longer being nurtured. it is out there, we know that. we know that the politics and the incitement still exists coming from the former president and others. we know that. he mentioned -- trump mentioned racism against him when he was talking about an african american prosecutor in new york. he knows what he's doing. but that's not being nurtured by a white house where biden clearly understands the benefits of a diverse country. >> yeah, and jen psaki reiterated yesterday, this is something that is both alarming to the president and something he's paying very close attention to as this investigation continues. thank you as always. >> thank you. >>> minutes from now, we take you liv

talking to dhs secretary chad wolf about this this hour. we begin with america's crime crisis. president biden and attorney general merrick garland are heading to new york city today to meet with law enforcement, facing crisis. >> todd: executive order from the president could make their job harder. yep. jackie ibanez is live with the details. jacky. >> jackie: president biden's trip to new york city is setting police reform. the white house is working on so-called anti-law enforcement officer. working draft of the document found it would focus on "the legacy of systematic racism, reform body cam policy, ban choke holds and no-knock warrants," and expected to be released in the coming weeks. affecting the fbi and dea, but the impact is sure to go beyond that. just yesterday, the sister of wilbert mora pleaded for change at his funeral. listen. >> how many jasons, how many wilberts and officers have to lose their lives before this law changes. who looks after their lives? >> jackie: lieutenant of off-duty officer shot and killed while house hunting with his girlfriend last month

in a second term was an executive order that would allow someone at dhs to be housed at nsa to be able to tap to the best code makers and code breakers in the world to protect us from these cyberattacks. trey: john, switching gears in august we were talking about feckless withdrawal from afghanistan. you warned that it would embolden china and russia, that is less than a year ago, unfortunately, it looks like you were right. >> yeah, you know unfortunately, i said that when we talked last august, because joe biden already started a dangerous trend was not listening to the intelligence, that said if you change policy at the southern border, the remain in mexico policy you will create a crisis there, that happened. we were talking about afghanistan. at the time. because joe biden ignored the intelligence about the taliban advancing and if there was not a condition-base withdrawal that gahni government would be overrun in days. he ignored, that it led to worst military defeat we've suffered. as we were talking. i knew is that joe biden was already ignoring intelligence on russia, vladimir

you have been there, you were dhs secretary. what do you think is going on behind the scenes right now in the united states, writ large, to prevent this? >> well, unfortunately, the ambassador bridge, in particular, has been the potential for a choke hold on our commerce between the united states and canada for some time. 25% of commerce between our two countries passes over the four-lane ambassador bridge and feeds into city streets in windsor. imagine, for example, the george washington bridge in new york city feeding into west 178th street rather than i-95. fortunately, there is a second bridge being built a few blocks south of there in detroit. can't happen fast enough but it is incumbent upon customs officials at the federal level, state and local officials to plan for the possibility of some sort of blockade on -- on key choke holds around the united states, in new york and california and elsewhere. and i am quite sure that, you know, the nypd, for example, is doing that. i am sure that the california highway patrol is doi

i want to quote from "the new york times," he told his lawyer rudy giuliani to call dhs. he directed his attorney rudy giuliani to make a remarkable call. mr. trump wanted him to ask the department of homeland security if it could legally take control of voting machines in key swing states. what does this say about the former president's direct involvement here and how does that -- how has that impacted by the doj's current probe now? >> well, what's so interesting, bri bianna, is folks who have been watching this develop, it is common sense this was directed by the former president. he's the one talking about this, he's the person seemingly pushing it. that is different from saying there is evidence you can bring into a courtroom to prove he was directing this. so now we're starting to hear about what might be evidence of that. so that's what's so crucial. what is also really interesting to me is that if the reporting is correct, this is the first time that rudy giuliani seems to maybe be breaking from the former president and pointing the finger at him. if rudy giuliani

instead of fixing the offensive line, why isn't dhs focused on terrorism? >> jimmy: dhs needs to give us something stronger than peps. this memo is why nobody trusts them. misinformation online provoked attacks and they don't list the attacks. i have a hot girlfriend, but she doesn't live around here, you can't meet her. it is absurd. the same dhs that designated school board parents as terrorists and people have seen this again and again and again. they don't need to look at our twitter feeds, they need to look in a mirror. their actions are the problem. >> carley: want to get your thoughts on joe rogan's latest comments, he addressed the spotify controversy during a routine in texas and said, i talk bleep for a living, that is why this is baffling to me. if you are taking vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault? if you want my advice, don't take my advice. something tells me you will agree with that statement from joe rogan? >> jimmy: a thousand percent. whole point of being a comedian, you didn't have to take life seriously, that makes this infur

how can dhs and other agencies better support your community and others like it? i know you've answered some of this and if there's anything you think we have not addressed, i'd be grateful. >> i would say one thing that hasn't been mentioned to the extent that maybe it needs to is the idea -- i mean has been stated that we need those relationships before something bad happens. we need the relationships on the national, state, and local level with regard to government. we need those relationships within our interreligious communities on a local level. we need to know one another. we don't have to be experts in one another's religions, but we do need to know each other and see each other and see the humanity within, whether we are talking about the more progressive religions, the more conservative religions, everybody in between, those without any religion. we need that sense of relationship, and to encourage that relationship, and to make those possible. in addition to all of this, the many possibilities that this committee can do, along with, as has also been men

dhs says more than 62,000 of them were released back into the u.s. interior. all the while, gangs and smugglers work around the clock exploiting the system. this week migrants were found inside locked train cars down here in south texas including a young child with a family. charles, the investigators and officials here say it's one more example of how those smugglers are willing to go to any means to get their cargo across, whether it's drugs or people. back to you. >> charles: thanks very much. i want to get to it with our next guest. texas department of public safety, lieutenant chris oliveras. these numbers are staggers. what should we know? when we hear numbers like this, 600,000 got-aways, almost half of the encounters had to be released into this country. i don't know where to begin, chris. >> well, you're right on point, charles. thanks for having me. great to be with you. what i can tell you, it should be concerning for law enforcement and the american people. when you see -- we're not talking about the families or the children but the single adults t

what dhs has to do, along with secret service and other law enforcement partners, is actually work in coordination with each other to gather intelligence around what are the threats that are out there, identified or anticipated, and understand the vulnerabilities to put into practice the control measures and mitigation from a security standpoint. >> security officials are looking at the potential for trucker convoys, similar to what we saw at the canadian capital over the last month or so. they fear that that may unfold in washington, d.c., and they're looking at a variety of options. so i'm wondering, looking away from more lone wolf kind of incidents or small cells, how do you manage a big protest of that scope? what would trigger law enforcement to take more drastic action? >> well, i want to put a little bit of context around this. the way that law enforcement is viewing this situation, while they're seeing it as a potential concern, remember, protest is protected activity. it's free speech and law enforcement has to first and foremost protect that free speech. the concern, though

why doesn't the president call the guy a dhs? why doesn't he go through normal liaison's at the white house? because he knows it's wrong. he's gotta get his dirty tricks to do it. because it's evidence of guilty conscience and corrupt intent. if the president, ex president, thought when he was doing was legit, he could've called the dhs himself, he was the president, but he knew, he knew seizing the voting machines was lawless possibly criminal. something had no authority to, so he sent rudy. go safe he can take care of that? his personal lawyer to take care of the dirty work. and while giuliani made the call even giuliani had his limits short of what trump swear. quote, mr. giuliani was vehemently opposed to the idea of the military taking part in the seizing -- seizure of machines. yeah. i think that sounds like a bad idea to. you see some of the more conspiracy adult allies hatched a scheme by which the army would be the ones to, i don't know, rolled up to voting centers and roll up the supposedly corrupt voting machines which

dhs says it's tracking reports of a potential convoy that may be planning to travel to several u. s. cities, as early as this weekend, potentially impacting sunday's super bowl. the bulletin describes the plan as aspirational. where states in this country are rolling back one of the most divisive covid regulations, today new york said it would remove most indoor mask mandates starting tomorrow. a doctor is going to take questions later in the hour. we are also keeping a close eye on the standoff along the russian ukraine border. the white house now preparing to help americans leave ukraine, should the kremlin launch an invasion. with that, let's bring in our lead off guests on this wednesday night, peter baker, chief white house correspondent for the new york times, frank folk lucy, a former fbi director for intelligence, he is the author of the book the fbi, way and host of the podcast the bureau, and former u. s. attorney joyce vance, who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor, she hosts the podcast sisters in law. so much to get to. frank, i don't know, maybe it is incomprehens

i want to read a statement from a dhs spokesperson explain what their motivation is. dhs has been engaging in an route reach campaign to ensure that public and private sector partners are aware of evolving cybersecurity risks and taking steps to increase their cybersecurity preparedness. he had a phone call with local governments yesterday. and he also warned there could be increased cyber attacks. not just ransomware attacks but cyber attacks that originate from russia. we should note there isn't a credible threat stream, but this is a warning call. they want these businesses, local governments to be prepared to be on their front foot and to have their defensive as strongly positioned as possible. brianna. >> get their defenses in order just in case. kylie, thank you for that live report from the state department. >> all right. joining me former cia chief of operations. we're getting our first look at new satellite images which shows a further russian buildup on the border. let me show people what we're looking at here. this appears to be some kind of field hospital

he's told by ken cuccinelli at dhs they can't seize it. even giuliani says he can't do it. when something is beyond the pale for giuliani, i think that you've really hit rock bottom in terms of legality. >> so if trump were directing giuliani, for example, to reach out to dhs as "the new york times" is reporting happened, is that a crime? >> ana, i think that this sort of highlights where there may be limits to criminal law. you know, there may be a conspiracy to interfere in the election. i mean this was not specifically trying to obstruct congress, but it highlights why the impeachment process was so important because what this is, is a classic abuse of power. the attempt to use the power and the authority of the presidency to basically undermine the will of the american people and overturn an election. and the question i have, ana, is why didn't barr come forward with this information when he had it during the impeachment proceeding? because as you know, even though trump left office, one of the penalties had he been convicted, would have been possibly also prohibiting h

dhs is sending about 500 people here for super bowl weekend. and they're working with the local agencies here, that's been going on for about a year, hoping that things run smoothly. but once the super bowl is over, dhs is saying these protests will likely not be over. they're expecting all of these truckers to then head to washington, d.c. and the idea is to get there by march 1st, where the state of the union. it could cause major disruptions. dhs is pointing to certain areas of the economy that could be hugely impacted. they say companies that are doing shipping, they say auto companies, agricultural companies, labor unions, all these sectors of the economy could be impacted by the protests. at the end of the day, jim and bianna, it is all of us, the consumer that will likely end up paying for what's going on or what could possibly happen here in los angeles over the weekend. >> and this, of course, all driven by mandates for what has been a highly successful vaccine, life saving vaccine. camila bernal, thank you so much, welcoming bianna in

will the dhs consider you a terrorist? joining me is someone on the organizing committee of the trucker movement. dr. aaron kheriaty. we had you on a few weeks ago talking about the threats to signs and medicine where doctor's medical rye -- licenses could be pulled for prescribing covid medicine. >> that's right. our first thought from the defeat the mandates organization that i work with. we are partnering with the truckers convoy, was that rumors of the event we are planning in california on march 5 may have triggered the language that we saw in this bulletin from homeland security. you are exactly right, this is a way of painting a political or social opponents. people who don't disagree with certain public policies as domestic terrorists. othering them in a way that tries to characterize them as engaging in criminal activity or engaging in subversive activity. all the people in the anti-mandate movement are trying to do is engage in free speech activity and draws us back to our constitutional rights in terms of freedo
