participating in federal enforcement raids. another gives a state official's power over dhs detention facilities, and the third offers protection against workplace raids. this lawsuit marks an escalation in the ongoing feud between thee trump administration and immigration advocates. hundreds of whom showed up to protest, chanting "shut it down" and brock to blocking the street around the hotel. california's democratic governor and attorney general angrily condemned the doj lawsuit as a political stunt, contending mayor states sanctuary policies are on solid legal ground. >> this is completely unprecedented for the chief law enforcement of the united states to come out here and engage in a political stunt, make wild accusations, many of which are based on outright lies. >> the lawsuit challenges some of our state laws, which are again, fully constitutional. >> in an exclusive interview with fox news' shannon bream, sessions vowed to keep fighting. >> somebody needs to stand up and say no, you've gone too far, you cannot do this, this is not reasonable, it's radical really. >> and the

eight years, i.c.e., dhs, cbp have been in shackles. they've been handcuffed. we are allowing them to do their jobs. >> sean: i wish these guys would go to the drug warehouses that i've been through. i was there when gang members were arrested. that same question michelle malkin. should they be arrested? >> they absolutely should be. as i said, we need to have attorney general sessions here in colorado. we've got defiant outlaw politicians right now in denver and law enforcement officers, the police chief refuses to cooperate with i.c.e. they need to be behind bars. we need to have more lawsuits. we need to have prosecution. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, i handed a shoot out. i go one-on-one with jorge ramos on our top story of the day. that's next. the more you know the the commute is worth it.me, for all the work you pour into this place, you sure get a lot more out of it. you and that john deere tractor... so versatile, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it. nothing runs like a deere. now you

that did get in there. additional funding 10% and dhs funding of 20%. there is no dreamers in there. there is a pro-life stuff in there. >> there is no wall. >> there is no wall. if you cannot ultimately the democrats control this process and the senate, that's why chuck schumer was so happy. >> as we said the president did finally come around but not without listing his grieve grieva grievances. >> there is a lot of things that we should not have in this bill. there are some things we should have in the bill. but i say to congress i will never sign another bill like this again. i am not going to do it again. >> nobody read it. it is only hours old, not happy with $1.6 billion but it does start the wall and we'll make that $1.6 billion go very, very far. >> the president's decision to sign the bill did not go well with some members of his own party and he was mocked by coulter. i will never sign a bora kill l this again because yeah, you will be impeached. shall we say a rocky week for the white house. with we saw him announced his third national security adviser and attacking rober

his chief of staff. his chief of staff, by the way, when he was dhs secretary said last may that leaking is darn close to treason. i think they're getting to the bottom of how this information leaked out. but the bottom line is that it did leak out. the president's been criticized by democrats and republicans who essentially say he was not confrontational enough in terms of raising the issue of russian meddling, in terms of raising the issue of those spies who were poisoned in the u.k., and he shouldn't have grachltd him for an election that a lot of people saw it as a sham. sarah sanders said during the briefing yesterday, look, it's not up to this administration to weigh in on other countries' elections, but the reality is they've been sharply critical of other countries like venezuela, calling for free and fair elections there. >> ashley parker, can i go to you on some of these behind-the-scenes questions that kristen was just talking about? the anger on the part of john kelly, how would you put that in context? is this off the charts or somewhere in the middle? >> as you poin

served 10 years in the u.s. army and worked at the dhs. he details his journey from being a migrant worker. coming from a family of migrant workers all the way to becoming a soldier. in this book right there it's called proud america. sergio, thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: brian was on the border and met you. you told him about your book. i went to the border a few weeks later and met you then. >> yes. ainsley: your first line of defense on our border down in the valley, you grew up there tell us your story and if a wall works. >> so, i believe fox news released or aired the video while i was at work last week. i can say personally they do work. it has to be a combination of the infrastructure, access roads to be able to access the traffic that we have to counters or that we counter on a daily basis, technology and personnel. brian: that's the combination. but you need portions of this wall built right away. and i think kristin, the home land security's secretary nielsen. she was saying you need 1.8 million to start to finish off certain areas. wide o

. cooperation with mexico is another crucial element for border security. dhs coordinates closely with the mexican law enforcement, and we must absolutely build on that cooperation. both countries recognize the need to stem the cross-border flow of illegal weapons, drugs, people, and cash. i have a great relationship with the president of mexico, a wonderful guy, and we take. a terrific guy. we are trying to work things out. we will see if it happens. i do not know if it will happen. he is a very good negotiator. he loves the people of mexico and is working very hard. we will see what happens. we have to obviously have a couple of disagreements before we get there. you will see over the next month whether or not it takes place in this administration, meaning, his administration, they have an election coming up. i hear they have good people running, and some who were not so good. .n any event, we will handle it i want to thank everyone for being here today, and i want to call on congress to deliver a budget that protects our homeland and properly funds all of our law enforcement needs. i wa

dhs up 12%. infrastructure, poild funding. fix nics. no insurance bill. no wall. if you can't ultimately the democrats controlled this process in the senate. that's why chuck schumer was so happy and i think a lot -- if you believe the republican party is the party of fiscal responsibility, then i have a bridge to sell you somewhere. the reality is this president cares about our military and was willing to give away things they didn't want in order to fund our military. that's something we should be happy about. steve: the "wall street journal" in an editorial writes today with the military spending, the military, and the pentagon better spend the money wisely because speaker pelosi will not be as generous. pete: that's the truth. absolutely. ainsley: also yesterday general mcmaster out and john bolton in as the national security advisor. they will make the switch officially on april 9th. and this is the third national security advisor for president trump. he is getting all of his ducks in a row. getting his cabinet in place before he speaks with kim jong un. they are saying m

policies being implemented at dhs are. and what's interesting here is that everyone knows there's such an enormous population of undocumented people in the u.s. that dhs even working full tilt could not deport everybody if they wanted to. they only can deport maybe 4% of undocumented population a year. so every other president has prioritized who they want to get out of the country. trump has explicitly said we're going to not prioritize anyone. everyone is a target. what the story is about is the human coast of thst of that pol what it means is not so much an increase in the number of people kicked out of the country as sort of spreading feeling of fear that everybody is a target. in communities across the country, you have this sense of dread, even among people who don't need to fear deportation. >> one of the threats and things i've been hearing from as i talk to members of communities on the hill and others over at dhs is this idea that people who are coming here with their children is creating a new problems that they feel like they need to deal with. and the idea that they're separa

. >> currently right now, you know, the work that dhs does in terms of informing the private sector and the critical infrastructure is critical for us. in terms of the future, you know, i would see that in looking at, you know, if we're understanding what's going on in the sector, obviously our -- a rich dialogue has to occur between, you know, the national security agency and those that have this type of technology. >> does that dialogue exist today? >> senator, i would have to defer on that. that's something that given my current position in army cyber, i'm not sure. >> but i take it if confirmed for this position that dialogue is something you would seek to establish. >> senator, certainly a dialogue with industry, but i would also say a dialogue with, you know, our universities and academia. our dialogue with a partnership. i think those are all kind of components that you have to have if you are going to lead a place like the national security agency. >> changing the subject entirely in the few seconds i have left. i just heard a new term, stemorage. that's a at the nsa. is this someth

against american infrastructure. it dates back many years. the dhs and fbi call this a multi-stage intrusion campaign by the russian government. it utilized a number of sophisticated hacking techniques to gain access or attempt to gain access to a number of sectors, including energy. when russia attacked ukraine's power grid, hundreds of thousands were left without power. aviation. private security firms indicate russian hackers have had their eye on american and european aviation companies for almost ten years. water. tampering with water supply systems could potentially have catastrophic results. commercial fa till cilitiefacil. private companies may have been sabotaged to gain access to the centers. manufacturing. it may have been a potential infrastructure target. perhaps the most frightening of all. turn up the volume. nuclear power. the report was short on specifics, but we do know the russian government targeted certain organizations rather than casting a wide net. that's scary stuff. >> we're joined by investigat n investigations reporter tom winter. what do we know about t

in the coming weeks. brian: expand dhs test programs to stop school violence. fix the tipster program. encourage states to adopt extreme risk protection orders. know the people in your community. coming put up their hands legally i can't do anything. the president wants to do that. encourage arming school faculty and staff through federal grants and federal training. you don't have to but, man, they do it in ohio. some portions of ohio. they do it in utah. they do it in texas. they are going to be, according to the governor of florida, the legislation is pushing through legislation that would allow teachers to be armed in florida. something to consider. keep your eye on toomey manchin,. ainsley: the bipartisan bill. brian: senator lindsey graham said listen i know the president said a lot. i need to see it in paper. he said, mr. president, you put it down and then i will tell you where we stand. ainsley: background checks also need to apply if you buy a gun at a gun show and buy a gun online. some of the lawmakers are saying those are the loopholes that need to be patched up.

battle against this crisis. you are from the dhs. we are curious to hear the progress report and also your vision for the future. thank you. nielsen: good afternoon, everyone. i appreciate the opportunity to join you today. site, i am sure you heard that before and he will continue to hear for the rest of the day how much we pursue this partnership. from the department of homeland security, we also have ice and cbp here. they do this work every day, day in and day out, to protect our borders and interiors from all threats, which increasingly and unfortunately, include opioids. when the president declared the opioid crisis as it public health emergency, he sent a very strong statement. the statement to us as america is "fighting back." we will continue to fight with all of the tools we have at our disposal. in conjunction with our partners in the department of state and justice amongst many others. since october, dhs has very proactively assessed the current threat, determined where we might have gaps and what else we can throw at it if you will. this has allowed us to leverage our inv

in there. additional i.c.e. funding 10%, dhs funding up 10%. infrastructure, opioid funding. fix nix. no dreamers in there, no pro life stuff. but there's no wall. but ultimately the democrats controlled this process in the senate. that's why chuck schumer was so happy. >> as we said, the president did finally come around, but not without listing his grievances. >> there are a lot of things that i'm unhappy about in this bill. there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military, we were forced to have. there are some things we should have in the bill. but i say to congress, i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. nobody read it. it's only hours old. not happy with $1.6 billion but it does start the wall, and we will make that $1.6 billion go very, very far. >> the president's decision to sign the bill didn't go over well with some members of his own party. ann colter mocked his comments on twitter writing, "i will never sign another bill on this again. yeah," she add

migratorias? melvin: segÚn el borrador de the washington post del dhs serÍan los seguros mÉdicos, medicaid, el programa de salud. snap, asistencia temporal y de vivienda. cosas necesarias para gente de escasos recursos. javier: si hablamos del proceso para esta propuesta, que se haga realidad y se termine cumpliendo como lo dice el presidente trump, cuÁles serÍa la argumentaciÓn para que se realicen? melvin: es un borrador, lo que se estÁ discutiendo dentro del departamento de seguridad nacional. falta que lo firme la secretarÍa y lo envíe a la oficina de manejo de presupuesto para que lo aprueben y lo envÍan a registro federal para que se convierta en una reglamentaciÓn. luego invitan al pÚblico a hacer comentarios sobre cÓmo les afectarÍa. los mantendremos informados sobre lo que vaya a suceder. javier: conversando con nosotros acerca del tema, sigo con aylen. aylen: california emite nuevas pautas para regular la cooperaciÓn entre autoridades locales y de migraciÓn. esas pueden y deben compartir informaciÓn sobre inmigrantes indocumentados con seguridad nacional,

able -- it wasn't part of the super agency at dhs which creates -- what we have seen in the transition to i.c.e.'s behavior, this sense of people actingg on their own outside of constitutional requirements. i can see absolutely why senator harris would raise a concern. t >> tucker: do you think it's a legitimate thing to say let's abolish i.c.e. pretty simple question. yes or no. >> i think i answered it. kamala harris raised issues and i think they should seriously be considered. >> tucker: okay, good. i don't want to misquote you. i think our viewers in the country should know with the position as of the progressive left on i.c.e. and you explain it. ith appreciate it. thank you. a video going viral shows a mother being arrested by i.c.e., those cowboys you just heard about. >> [screaming] >> tucker: it's a pretty upsetting video. for that reason it is getting a wide play on the left. a key detail is being left out. the woman in theft video isn't some random illegal alien pulled off the street by those cowboys. she is suspect by the feds of organizing human trafficking ope

announcement made at the same time that sanctions were made yesterday. basically the dhs, the department of homeland security and the fbi came out with a joint technical alert. so they went after water systems, nuclear systems, power generation systems, even the aviation system according to the dhs and the fbi. what was different about this from other various cyberattacks we've seen is, this was, according to them, a very targeted attack. in other words, they wanted to go after specific players, specific companies, and specific systems, and they were able to get into our power generation systems according to them. they've even provided some documents to show what the russians would have been looking at on their own screen. they were in the command of the control systems of these power plants. >> the poisonings meddling in the election, and targeting systems, that was sounds like a lot of very blatant interference and meddling on russia's part. are they being sent a search they should stop or is this going to continue? how concerned should people be about this? >> i think that we in the west

active shooter training protocols. there was a meeting a few years ago between doj and dhs to make sure the active shooter training lined up and it did. the first thing you have to do is respond inside the building and we know from his radio transmissions which we heard a couple weeks ago that he knew the shooting was coming from building 1200 so -- and he did not respond inside and that flies in the face of every act i shooter training. >> so if you're a cop on the scene and you nope there's shooting on the inside you immediately have to run inside? >> i can quote you directly from the training. direct intervention by the on-scene law enforcement officers has reduced injuries and saved lives. without proper intervention on the scene armed suspects can continue to cause serious bodily injury or death. first responders must understand and accept the role of protector and be prepared to meet violence with controlled aggression. >> since he didn't go inside, that's why he was suspended? >> exactly. >> we're going to continue to look at this. this is a heartbreaking story. >>> up next,

dhs and the fbi, the attacks were part of a multi phase intrusion campaign by russian government cyber attacks. it's the first time the u.s. government has publicly accused russia of attacking america's energy infrastructure. a senior national security official told reporters yesterday that the government assisted victims and prevented the further attempts to access those networks. >> so the new sanctions were announced shortly after the u.s., the uk and germany released a rare joint statement condemning russia's attack of a former russian spy saying this use of a military-grade nerve agent constitutes the first offensive use of a nerve agent in europe since the second world war. it is an assault on a uk sovereignty and any use is a clear violation of the chemicals convention and a breach of international law. it threatens the security of us all. we call on russia to live up to its responsibilities as a member of the u.n. security council to uphold international peace and security. the french president macron also says that france will announce sanctions against russia if the com

notified if and then that alien was released therefore the criminal alien remained in dhs custody and processed for prosecution end quote. i see you nodding along, lawrence. what's your reaction to this? >> you have the mayor notifying officials. i'm sick and tired about everything this debate about sanctuary cities. of the president provided a solution for people who disagree on immigration. he said i'll give a pathway to citizenship to 1.8 million people. i want to deal with the daca problem and get rid of criminals. instead, why do they shut down the government. seems this is has become the rallying call. >> harris: the issue over solution is what some law makers told me. representative marsha blackburn, those were her exact words. adrienne? >> adrienne: we didn't shut down the government over sanctuary cities put shut down the city over daca. they believe their local law enforcement is more apt do deal with the issues than federal i.c.e. acts. >> it has no control over immigration. >> adrienne: correct in terms of state department, versus federal government they don't have the aut

take the gathering all of these entities, the dhs, the state election board, and the others together. the one thing i will give president trump's appointees, they all recognize the problem in terms of election security, that we're going into primary season and we're not safer than we were in meaningful ways than we were in 2016. you have even had the former head of the nsa, the fbi director, and the director of national intelligence in public testimony say in the last two weeks that they've had no indication from the white house that election securities have got to be a top priority. so our committee will have to make sure it's a top priority by passing legislation. >> glad to see there's some bipartisan cooperation in the senate intelligence committee, vastly different than what's going on in the house intelligence committee. senator warner, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >> just ahead, as president trump effectively admits his involvement in the legal fight with stormy daniels, his lawyer, and her lawyer. they're all speaking out right now about new twists in the case a

california, but the fact it puts at risk our law enforcement officers and folks like i.c.e. and dhs, it really frankly ultimately can put the very people who live in those communities at great risk. i don't need to mention the kate steinle story out there. that is one we've talked about at length. fairly interesting news conference at the press briefing. although i have to be honest with you, i was frustrated with some of the questions you're saying really you? know she can't answer that question but you and i have a chance to talk about some of the more relhave not once and i don't mind. cheryl: this event with regards to sanctuary cities is impactful. the president talked about it yesterday in new hampshire, border wall. we'll dig into all of that as we wait to see the president at that event. we'll bring that to our viewers. kevin corke, thank you, sir. reporter: you bet. cheryl: kevin corke at the white house we have steve rogers with me and former cia operative mike baker. >> good afternoon. good afternoon. trish: mike i want to start with you the issue of sanctuary cities. he clea

today the dhs and fbi are indicating they have evidence that russia continues to try not just to snoop but has successfully infiltrated systems, in particular the energy system. there will be a lot of questions about why it took so long for the trump administration to react this way as we focus on this back and forth as it relates to russia. >> he makes a good point that this is a day the trump administration if not the president himself is trying to look very tough on russia. this comes a few days after the u.k. poisoning. today there's a joint statement from the u.k. and its allies, including the u.s. today should have been more of a positive russia headline for the trump administration. but this is a big deal. trump organization documents on russia, and it's unclear why they decided to subpoena the organization instead of asking they will to hand it over, but it does make you wonder if they were having a problem getting ahold of whatever documents they needed. >> we have said every molt the white house thinks it has a new story to tell, the russia cloud remarriag reemerges and

nielsen and jeh johnson, head of dhs during the obama administration. later there is a hearing on the president's 2019 budget request with agriculture secretary sonny perdue. ♪ our podcast, c-span's "the weekly" takes you behind the headlines to explore one significant news story shaping the conversation. you will hear from journalists, policymakers, and experts providing background and context. app it on the c-span radio as well as itunes, stitcher, and google play, and online at c-span.org. next, another hearing on the president's 2019 budget request. this one

about a back channel came out and john kelly who was then dhs secretary came out and said, look, diplomacy happens through back channels all the time, but why this would present someone different is because it would be january 2017 right as this new administration is coming in and if there was anything they owed this government, the fact they're setting up a back channel obviously looks incredibly nefarious. they're doing it in a different country. they're doing this through someone like george made nader e know robert mueller has spoken with several times. there are reasons why mueller would be interested in this particular back channel. i don't think we'll be surprised if we hear more talking points like we heard from john kelly last year from this administration saying look, it's okay for us to have these communications. we go through different officials all around the world. diplomacy doesn't always happen when it's the heads of state shaking hands in front of camera and that's understood. there's a lot about this particular meeting, where it took place, the timing and the p

these elections are held at local and state level. dhs given clearances to state and local election officials and bringing them in. we have the private sector that is involved. russians will come after us again. they're doing more to disrupt our system than they ever did with divisions of soviet troops. let's hit back. i was disturbed to hear the head of the n.s.a. he doesn't feel like he has the authority. russia provides the strength, putin demies to deterrent. let's go. >> it doesn't just all fall on government. it falls on the private sector and social media platforms who were manipulated by russia. they were caught flat footed. they do have this hands off approach until they get caught doing something wrong. >> there are holes exposed. let's hope they're stepping up. they're asking for the government to come crack down on them. >> i think they might be. >> the "washington post" now calling out dnc chair tom perez for falsely caming that democrats broke fundraising records in january. not even close. we'll debate that on this couch next. hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer. you've

wrong. says right at the top of the report, contact dhs or law enforcement immediately to report an intrusion. now, i am not tech savvy enough or commuter engineer minded enough to understand a ton of what is here, particularly the long strings of computer code included but what is clear as somebody who reads the news, this appears to be the follow up and much more serious and much more public update to something we saw that happened this past summer. this past summer you might remember this when you see this picture of that nuclear power plant. bloomberg news and "the new york times" reported that a secret warning had been issued by the same agencies by homeland security issued to american power plant operators telling them there were cyber attacks targeting u.s. power plants including menbmoribly didn't na who the perpetrator of the attacks was and clearly, that warning was also never meant to be public. i was sent out to power plant operators to let them know how to protect themselves and we found out about it from alarming leaks that made their way into "the new york times" and

who lives in california knows it. good bye-by bye, everybody. >> i.c.e., dhs. when you hear the president say that the mexicans are professional mountain climbers, what? >> i think what was more disturbing to me is that somehow a wall will stop drugs from coming in this country. i've been standing not long from where the president is, in a drug tunnel. drugs are not coming in -- cocaine and heroin are not being seized between ports of entry. people crossing the border, very rarely are they bringing in cocaine and heroin. legal ports of entry, through cars, airs, up through the peaches. boats coming foo forth that money could be better spent elsewhere. >> john, thank you so much. scott and jim and everyone weighing in on this tour of the border. coming up next, rex tillerson not the only person the president fired today. the president's long-time personal aide escorted out of the white house this week, as we're learning. he is actually under investigation for serious financial crimes. we'll take you to the white house coming up. zach! talk to me. it's for the house. i got a job.

executive action. at lunchtime today the white house is set to roll out and expanded dhs test program to prevent school violence, the fbi tipster program, policy that encourages states to take weapons out of the hands of people who threaten to cause harm and federal grants and training for school so they can safely arm their faculty. so the issue of gun safety is set to take up most of the air in washington today. >> great to see you, haven't seen you in a while. been watching you on weekends. gun control advocates have their sights set on national rifle association as the second amendment comes under fire in washington. dana lashes firing back saying it is time for law-abiding americans to stop being punished for the failures of our politicians. >> we absolutely have to harden our schools and protect our kids. there are millions of nra members and we are parents too but i have kids in school. this is an issue i want to see resolved which is why we are pushing for action as well. we must respect and protect the rights of law-abiding americans across the country who right now a

dhs. by october 7th, dhs had put out a public statement with the office of the director of national intelligence to encourage state cooperation and eventually 36 states, 33 counties were engaged with dhs in bolstering their protection against cyberattacks. so the case against the obama administration is a purely political case by an administration and frankly, republicans in the congress who in 2016 simply did not want this to be an issue against donald trump. >> according to comments on "meet the press" this week on sunday, it was mitch mcconnell who insisted on watering down the statement that was made publicly. >> yes. >> all right. clarifying that. we will have a lot more on this coming up later with jane mayer who wrote extensive original reporting on the dossier in "the new yorker." thank you both. be sure to watch "the beat with ari melber" tonight and every weeknight 6:00 eastern on msnbc. >>> coming up, peace on the peninsula? will the u.s. come to the table to talk about denuclearization with north korea? ♪ hey, sir lose-a-lot! thou hast the patchy beard of a pre-pubesce

are 20 dh or there about off of the highs, 30 bucks if you go from high to he lo so it looked to me like an opportunity but i have been wait asking waiting. >> it's 10%. >> that's oftentimes what i'm looking for. if they are breaking through i look for 10% here's the interesting thin about facebook it's not just a facebook story it is all the other areas they have deny growing toward the instagrams and the monetization that they have accomplished already there there is more to the story than just facebook. -- i would also say they have done a poor job of getting in front of this, in my opinion they waited so lon and each this, this is all text. i mean, are they really out in front the way jamie dimon has been and way other great ceos when they have had an issue, they get out in front of the cameras and say this is a problem, we are going to fix it here's what happened -- >> they tried to get in front of it on friday ahead of news reports and articles which was chumski. >> facebook is describing themselves as a victim they are not apologizing if someone was victimized. it means they

investigates. it's a little confusing, because it's part of dhs, but it originally started as a law enforcement agency under the treasury. so they investigate credit card fraud, counterfeiting, financial cyber crimes, as well as child pornography. and what they're saying right now is that it's a serious financial crime and we also know that his security clearance has been in limbo for some time. that came from a dhs source who told me that they have known about this investigation and wondered if the white house would decide to act on it. it's unclear when exactly the white house knew about this investigation, or about the holdups in his security clearance, but if you remember, john kelly did recently do a review of those security clearances so some of these issues could be coming to light now. >> is it true that he's leaving the white house, but still going to be working for the campaign? >> that's right. that is a very strange turn of events. he's going on to be a senior adviser on the re-election effort for 2020 for donald trump. and that means he'll be part of campaign operations

don't want you to help me, believe me. >> so why hasn't the president directed dhs and some of those other officials that are in charge of making sure this election, 2018, which is right around the corner, that they're protected, that they're actively doing things. they testified in front of congress and said there was no real directive yet. why is that? >> that is what a number of, you know, career civil servants and others who have served in the national security apparatus say is that, yes, individual agencies are doing it. the fbi is trying. homeland security is, but it hasn't been directed, overseen by the president, and it needs the leadership of the president. >> this is an american problem, not a trump problem. this started in the obama problem. >> right, but trump is president now. why not -- >> i understand that. but i believe something must be done. i've believed that since july when the dnc e-mails came out. i believe he will do something, but it's been an american problem for several years, and it's continuing. >> more ahead. another warning. the president was told it was

informationmanagement said healthcare is ground zero for cyber attack . dhs, all industries face a growing threat but the size of the attacks on the healthcare industry have accelerated rapidly in the past two years. this is valuable information that can be bought and sold so cyber attacks are a serious risk and has been growing rapidly. >> thank you mister chairman. >> thanks, the chair recognizes the gentleman from indiana. >> i want to respond a little bit to this study about er doctors. there are people who come to the er legitimately drug seeking trying to get legal ways to get drugs. this has nothing to do with people who are drug addicted. they are treated just like everybody else. if you've ever spent any time in an emergency room and i have because i was a heart surgeon, there are legitimately large numbers of people trying to get legal prescriptions or legal narcotics through coming to the emergency room and it's honestly insulting for studies to try to show that the er physicians insome way are not treating patients in an ethical or moral way. it's just not right. let me comment

targeted by the department of treasury. by the dhs and also for much of the russian military, you know, malicious cyber attacks. what was really scare from that call is that they revealed that the russian government has actually mounted cyber attacks at the u.s. energy grid. this goes far beyond the 2016 election. we're dealing with the here and now and you are hearing, you know a big response from the white house today. john which makes it all the more interesting that h.r. mcmaster the president's national security advisor is a guy who maybe doesn't have the full trust and confidence of the white house right now. >> yeah. that's right. i mean, we are seeing a major push against russia in the midst of an imminent staff change or likely imminent staff change. but, you know, we should mention as the leading contender here john bolton is no friend of the russian government. he sparred with them quite a bit at the united nations. he hats taken a hard line against them as long as i have known. if there is a change to be had here, it is only going to be harder in the russian direction.

i.c.e. agents. we secured a 12% increase in dhs's budget and 10% increase in i.c.e.'s budget. there are naturally compromises you need to make when working with democrats to get a final bill. we do not have sufficient republican votes alone to pass an omnibus particularly when you need 60 votes in the united states senate. >> let me ask byou about two other major headlines, one happening in the white house there, the tariffs announcement coming out in just a little bit. we've already seen the dow drop a couple hundred points in anticipation of this announcement. this could really hurt for example farmers in red states if china retaliates. the very people who voted for donald trump, is that a concern for you? >> of course it's a concern, but at the same time what we've had is for decades administrations recognizing that china is stealing intellectual property in an unwillingness to do anything about it. we cannot allow them to continue to come into our country, invest in companies, steal their technology and create competitors back in china. there are interin the rules that protect i

funding. >> it's unfortunate that congress chose not to listen to the men and women of dhs and those on the front lines, they told us how to build the wall where to build the wall and we will continue to work with them to make sure that the wall is where we need it how we need it as the president described and to make sure that it serves the american people and serves the security of this nation. >> so you saw some of the principles there, neil this is clearly a circumstance where the white house is of the opinion that sometimes you have to take a little caster oil when necessary in order to get things done that is obviously funding the military quite notably the conversation there between the president and jim mattis the secretary of defense really centered on this idea that cr's really don't help. you have to have the money that you can know what you want to do with it, prepare aircraft et cetera and tanks and he talked about the numbers himself but it's a very difficult pill to swallow $500 million for planned parenthood for example, not nearly as much as the wallace a lot o

unfortunate that congress chose not to listen to the men and women of dhs and those on the front line. they told us how to build a wall, where to build a wall and we have continued to work with them to make sure the wall is very needed, how we did it as the president described them and to make sure it serves the american people and serve the security of this nation. we also will continue to work with congress to close dangerous loopholes of the president has mentioned many times and to continue to increase our overall security. and finally, we think those in congress who support the department of homeland security. i will continue to make myself available to them. i look forward to working with them but we must fund the department and give them the tools and resources it needs to execute the mission of the american people have asked us to do. thank you. >> president trump: thank you very much, secretary. so we have many elements in the bill that we want. just look at a few of them, we are providing $654.6 billion in total discretionary funding for defense, record. all records for defe

homeland security. i did something wrong and god punished me i guess. >> going from the dhs to the white house. god punished the chief of staff. trump allies in washington describe a feeling of meltdown at the white house. they say the president wants to do something to turn the tide, but not clear what it would be. >>> at $31,000 dining room set ordered for ben carson has been canceled. the interior design firm tells cnn they are waiving their restocking fee so taxpayers will not pay a dime. sarah sanders says the agency is looking for another option. apologies for the chuckle. the hud employee this week was demoted for refusing to spend more than legally allowed and ordered to redecorate the office. >> drain the swamp with green velvet hickory chairs. no, no, no! >>> 40 minutes past the hour. u.s. officials say they are skeptical about the vladimir putin claim to have a missile so powerful it can penetrate nato defenses. we are live in moscow. if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers may feel overwhelming. so start your search with our teams of specialists at c

. leland: we will get to the hacking issue later with chad sweet of dhs. in the meantime, back to the first part of congressman delaware mandy's statement. we invited him to come on and talk about this. instead we have you, glad you are here. does he have a repor a point whe he says this is a white house in chaos, falling apart. or are we not seeing how things are actually happening? >> you are not seeing how things are actually happening. the president has told us, i'm not telephoning to our enemies what our strategies are or what we're implementing. can i tell you i have talked to people inside the house. i have talked to people on the national security staff. we are doing a lot, whether it's thwarting their attempts to influence our elections, coming up, whether it's cyber security. there is so much that's happening behind the scenes. why would we be telegraphing to the very people who seek to hurt us what we are doing? leland: your former boss, president george w. bush tell graphed exactly what he was going to do. he said you are with us. you are with the terrorists. president bus

the dhs spokeswoman said. this is their proposal, apparently they say nothing is finalized yet. once it is approved, it will be released, have a comment. matt, the whole 9 yards. this is what she said. "the administration is committed to enforcing existing immigration law which is clearly intended to protect the the amn taxpayer." mollie, they say this is a tackn attack on people who are trying to gain legal status. because this gets at the heart of the debate about kind of immigration should have. some people say should be random and lottery based on some people are pushing for a move to the more australian or canadian style where it's self-sufficiency playing a role. it doesn't play a role for people who have special needs or our refugee status or particular persecution. at in general, a lot of immigrants are coming to this country, american citizens are looking for people who can be self-sufficient and can contribute to the economy. a lot of immigrants do. this is a test to make sure that this is working out for current american citizens. >> shannon: reacting to this, the statemen

kirstjen nielsen says dhs is improving how they share information with states. and respond to potential cyber-attacks.but election issues differ from state-to- state and addressing each problem is a challengeneilsen: the election night reporting and of course the certification and auditing on the back end and all those are different vulnerabilities brie jackson: d-h-s also recommends security clearance for senior officials at the state level - to give them access to classifed information about threats. senator joe manchin worries rural states like west virginia won't have enough money to upgrade election systems and make other changes. manchin: have they spoken back to you that they don't have the money to meet the suggestions or requirements you have made?of course they have resources constraints some of the machines themselves are old as you know. manchin: "and it's a concern for the 2018 elections? yes sirsenate intel leaders are urging congress to provide more money to help states protect upcoming elections. in washington, brie jackson (vicki)(vicki) four your health tonight. before

. because the truth is, walls work in the data shows it. dhs and cbp are fully committed to a balanced investment in physical infrastructure to access and control, technology, and personnel to support critical border security missions. >> but it is not clear today how much of the 1,000 miles he's referring to needs to be built new and how much of the 1,000 miles is fencing that can be spruced up. >> i would say it's all new because it is a different design going in, it's replacing stuff that is unsuitable, dilapidated wall, this hold landing that doesn't serve our needs anymore. i would call it all new. >> just like president trump, they want $25 billion to build this wall system but they don't know where that money would come from. they would welcome some pentagon funding for that, of course that's something there have been reports about over the last few days but they have no reason to think at the pentagon is going to fund the wall at this time. >> shepard: what's the latest on the president's pick to head the va? >> there some surprise now from the leader of a veterans group, iraq

agencies, dhs has taken the lead, the white house has been engaged in the department of defense, other agencies have been engaged on this. >> can you tell this committee what is being done to respond? is that something you can tell us in this open hearing so i can reassure my constituents that we are trying to address this? >> much of what is being done or is being examined to be done would fall in classified areas. i would be happy to address in a classified session. >> i want to urge you and the ranking member to hold a classified briefing for this committee so we can hear firsthand what is being done to respond. let me ask you to change the subject a little bit. last week before his state of the nation, in his state of the nation speech, vladimir putin bragged about russia weapons that can evade our missile defense system and can strike anywhere in the united states or the world. is that an accurate assessment of what we understand russia to have developed? >> the state of the union in context. in election year is coming up. it was for consumption of a domestic audience which i will

element of border security. dhs coordinates closely with the mexican law enforcement and we must absolutely build on that cooperation. both countries recognize the need to stem the cross border flow of illegal weapons, drugs, people, and cash i have a great relationship with the president of mexico, a wonderful guy enrique. terrific guy. we are trying to work things out. we will see whether or not it happens. i don't know if it's going to happen. he is a very good negotiator. he loves the people of mexico. and he's working very hard. we'll see what happens. but we have to obviously have a couple of disagreements before we get there. you'll see over the next month whether or not it takes place in this administration, meaning his administration to have an election coming up. i hear they have some very good people running and maybe have some that aren't so good. in any event, we will handle it i want to, again, thank everyone for being here today and i want to, again, call on congress to deliver a budget that protects our homeland and properly funds all of our law enforcement needs.

15th anniversary of dhs. listen, we know it is a tough job in that white house, but it's a fancy one. >>> shock, stunning and jaws on the floor. those are some of the words used to describe president trump's meetings on guns yesterday. it was something. we'll bring you some of the most surprising moments next. >>> and comedian stephen colbert had a look at trump's turn toward tougher gun control. here he is. >> you see, when vice president pence suggested an early intervention system that allows courts to take away people's guns after a hearing, trump said this. >> more like take the firearms first and then go to court. i like taking the guns early. take the guns first. go through due process second. >> well, he's finally doing something obama never did. he's coming for your guns. have. and at our factory in boston, more than a thousand workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. a

kept falling outside this card of care home but a hot meal kept residents warm inside. hello, dh, how will you? staff have been sleeping here between shifts because of the difficulty of travelling to and from work. the manager arrived for work this morning but does not know when it will end. i have come into work with my bag. we do not know what the weather will do. we are ensuring that i have got the stuff in. my staff have been fantastic, they are working long hours, staying overnight. elsewhere, cardiff airport was closed after all flights we re airport was closed after all flights were cancelled. tonight there is still major disruption in dangerous conditions on the road, but for those with nowhere to go and time on their hands, for now, they are making the most of this extraordinary weather. 0n the rail networks, some train companies, including south eastern, south western and scotrail, have advised people not to travel on their routes. there are also cancellations at major uk airports, including heathrow. 0ur transport correspondent, victoria fritz, is at london waterloo station

make some comments to the audience, composed of dhs staffers. the moderator said to kelly, go ahead and say what you've got to say. john kelly talked about how much he misses the agency. then, he said this. >> the last thing i wanted to do was walk away from one of the great honors of my life, being the secretary of homeland security, but i did something wrong and god punished me, i guess. >> so, kelly is joking, right, about god punishing him for walking away from that job, as i bring in betsy and sahill, back with me here. think about the timing here. kelly has been under an enormous amount of pressure since his handling of the rob porter scandal. there are questions about who his allies really are inside the white house. people potentially out to get him, frankly. that's been no secret. now, you have john kelly, with sort of, i think, a dry sense of humor, and let's be clear, the audience laughed, talking about his position inside the west wing. >> and the john kelly ally community in the white house is not a particularly sizable group of people. he's alienated a ton of individua

about other people. that is one of the big things that the dhs secretary said. look, we need to be careful. it's not just russia. there's others out there that want to do the same thing. quickly. >> america as a whole is very vulnerable. we need to address the fact that we're woefully inadequate. >> trace: yeah. tom kellermann, thank you, sir. good to see you. and there's breaking news coming in to fox news channel. fob -- facebook founder mark zuckerberg making a statement. the statement is long and lays out what he says is the timeline how this went down. he writes here that we have a responsibility to protect your data. if we can't, we don't deserve to serve you. he said he started facebook and he's responsible for it and he ends with a promise to work through this and build a better service over the long-term. you have to think back. remember, this is one of those things that 270,000 people's information was given to cambridge people and their friends and the friends friends, all of that information, 50 million given to political intelligence firm called cambridge analytica. an
