MIGHT EVEN SUE. ED, BACK TO YOU.
>> Ed: KEVIN CORKE, THANK
YOU.
YOU. HERE NOW EXCLUSIVELY CHAD
WOLF, THE ACTING SECRETARY
OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
MR. SECRETARY, THANKS FOR
COMING.
COMING. >> IN THANK YOU, ED.
>> Ed: YOU JUST HEARD THE
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR.
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR. HE SAYS YOU ARE GUILTY OF
EXTORTION.
EXTORTION. >> I THINK THAT’S JUST
TOTALLY INACCURATE.
TOTALLY INACCURATE. THIS IS ABOUT SECURITY AND
IT’S NOT ABOUT POLITICS.
I HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY CLEAR
WITH THE GOVERNOR AND ANY
OTHER NEW YORK STATE
INDIVIDUAL OR LAWMAKER THAT
I TALK WITH.
CVP NEEDS ACCESS TO THIS
DATA BASE TO RUN THEIR
SECURITY CHECKS ON TRUSTED
TRAVELERS.
TRAVELERS. IT’S THAT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
THERE IS NO POLITICS ABOUT
IT.
IT. THEY CUT OFF ACCESS.
WE NEED IT BACK TO TOTALLY
VET THESE INDIVIDUALS.
>> Ed: THE SHERIFF’S
ASSOCIATION HERE IN NEW YORK
STATE SEEMS TO BE BACKING
YOU I WANT TO POINT OUT.
THEY SAY TO THE GOVERNOR OUR
INABILITY UNDER THE THROUGH
SHARE THIS DMV DATA WITH
FEDERAL IMMIGRATION OFFICERS
VERNON DYES THE SAFETY OF
THOSE POLICE OFFICERS.
WE FIND IT OFFENSIVE THAT IN
ORDER TO AVAIL OUR OWN
DEPUTIES OF THIS DMV DATA
THAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR OWN
SAFE OPERATIONS WE WERE
COERCED INTO SIGNING A
NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT WITH
JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF
OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS.
WE HAVE SEEN POLICE
OFFICERS, AS YOU KNOW, LAW
ENFORCEMENT ALL AROUND THIS
COUNTRY TARGETED.
COUNTRY TARGETED. WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME.
IS THIS ADDING TO THAT?
HOW DESPERATE IS THE
SITUATION?
SITUATION? >> I BELIEVE IS.
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE
LAST WEEK OR SO IS A NUMBER
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS
COME OUT AGAINST THIS ALL
BECAUSE OF YOU WHO DANGEROUS
IT IS.
IT IS. AGAIN, IT RESTRICTS
INFORMATION SHARING WITH DHS
ACROSS THE BOARD.
AGAIN, THAT’S NOT ONLY FOR
TRUSTED TEMPORARILY PROGRAMS
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
HERE.
HERE. ALSO FOR CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT
AND NATIONAL SECURITY AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES.
AN INDIVIDUAL COMING INTO
THE COUNTRY CVP OFFICERS
NEED THIS INFORMATION TO
DETERMINE IS THIS A
LEGITIMATE PERSON COMING IN
OR DO WE NEED TO TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT THAT WE ARE
ONLY ABLE TO DO THAT IF WE
SHARE INFORMATION.
SHARE INFORMATION. SO AFTER 9/11 THIS IS WHAT
9/11 WAS ALL ABOUT.
ONE OF THE LESSONS LEARNED
WAS WE NEED TO SHARE
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. WE NEED TO TEAR DOWN THESE
SILOS.
SILOS. WE DON’T NEED TO BE BUILDING
THESE UP TO KEEP INFORMATION
FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS.
OFFICIALS. >> Ed: WE MENTIONED, PARDON
ME, THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS
TWEETING ABOUT HOW HE WANTS
TO GET RID OF THESE
LAWSUITS, NEW YORK STATE
COMING AFTER HIM IN VARIOUS
WAYS.
WAYS. THE GOVERNOR DID AN
INTERVIEW WHERE HE WENT
FURTHER.
FURTHER. AND NOT JUST ATTACKING THE
PRESIDENT BUT GOING AFTER
YOU.
YOU. LISTEN.
LISTEN. >>
>> >> YOU ARE KNOCKING ON THE
DOOR SAYING I WILL BURN DOWN
THE HOUSE IF YOU DON’T GIVE
ME ENTRY?
ME ENTRY? I WILL GIVE YOU ENTRY.
FOR THE TTP ENROLLEES ON THE
CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. DON’T BURN DOWN THE HOUSE.
THEY SAID I’M BURNING DOWN
THE HOUSE ANYWAY.
ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT? SO NOW THEY’RE JUST
ARSONISTS.
ARSONISTS. >> Ed: HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO
THAT?
THAT? >> I WOULD SAY I’M NOT SURE
WHY YOU PASSED THE LAW TO
BEGIN WITH.
BEGIN WITH. PASSED LAW BACK JULY 19 AND
TOOK EFFECT IN DECEMBER.
THEY CLEARLY KNEW THE
IMPACTS OF THIS AND I’M NOT
SURE THAT THEY REALLY FULLY
UNDERSTOOD IT.
UNDERSTOOD IT. SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH.
THEY LOOK, WE WANT TO FIND A
SOLUTION TO THIS.
THE SOLUTION REQUIRES THEM
TO TURN ON ACCESS SO WE CAN
VET TRUSTED TRAVELERS.
I HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT
THAT.
THAT. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY
CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS ABOUT LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS ABOUT SECURITY.
THIS IS ABOUT THE ABILITY TO
CONNECT THOSE DOTS AND TO
SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
AND, AGAIN, IT’S TICKLY
INTERESTING COMING FROM NEW
YORK.
YORK. AGAIN, FROM WHERE 9/11
OCCURRED.
OCCURRED. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
SHARE INFORMATION AND NOT
CONTINUE TO WITHHOLD
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. >> Ed: SAFETY PARAMOUNT, NO
DOUBT.
DOUBT. YOU MIGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED
IN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT NEW
YORK OFFICIALS COMING AFTER
YOU, ALEXANDRIA
YOU, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, THE
OCASIO-CORTEZ, THE CONGRESSWOMAN, IS TWEETING
TONIGHT: TRUMP IS PUBLICLY
ADMITTING THAT HE IS HOLDING
GLOBAL ENTRY FOR NEW YORKERS
HOSTAGE IN EXCHANGE FOR
DROPPING LAWSUITS AGAINST
HIM AND HIS FAMILIES
LAW-BREAKING BEHAVIOR.
LAW-BREAKING BEHAVIOR. THOSE ARE HER WORDS.
THIS IS CORRUPT, ILLEGAL AND
AUTHORITARIAN.
AUTHORITARIAN. I HOPE COLLINS AND MURKOWSKI
ARE PROUD OF THEIR VOTES.
OF COURSE REFERRING TO THE
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL NOT
GUILTY.
GUILTY. SUSAN COLLINS LEARNED
LESSONS ABOUT QUID PRO QUOS.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THIS
ONE.
ONE. >> THIS IS THEIR TALKING
POINT.
POINT. THEY KEEP BRINGING IT BACK
TO TALKING POINTS.
IT HAS TO DO WITH SECURITY.
THE PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS
THAT I BELIEVE THE GOVERNOR
UNDERSTANDS THAT WHICH IS
WHY HE IS NOW ALLOWING
ACCESS OR AT LEAST PROVIDING
THAT OPTION FOR US TO VET
TRUSTED TRAVELERS.
TRUSTED TRAVELERS. SO, IT’S BEYOND POLITICS.
IT’S ABOUT SECURITY.
AND WHETHER DHS HAS THE
ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB OR
NOT.
NOT. AND, AGAIN, WE SEE A NUMBER
OF STATES.
OF STATES. WE HAVE FIVE OTHER STATES
THAT ARE WITHHOLDING
INFORMATION FROM DHS.
IT’S A VERY DANGEROUS
PRECEDENT THAT WE’RE SETTING
HERE AND THE DEPARTMENT,
AGAIN, NEEDS THIS
INFORMATION NEW YORK IS THE
ONLY STATE AND I THINK THAT
BEARS REPEATING THE ONLY
STATE THAT PROHIBITS
INFORMATION-SHARING WITH
INFORMATION-SHARING WITH BOTH ICE AND CVP OFFICIALS
TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB.
LAW ENFORCEMENT, CUSTOMS,
AND VETTING TRUSTED
TRAVELERS.
TRAVELERS. THE ONLY STATE.
>> Ed: THOSE OFFICIALS HAVE
AN IMPORTANT JOB KEEPING
