If you use it on Monday, STEVE: LET’S TALK ABOUT
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN IOWA A
MESS WITH THEIR SMART PHONE
APP. SIMPLY UNABLE TO REPORT
THE RESULTS.
THE RESULTS. MEANWHILE THIS MORNING THE
HEAD OF THE DHS CYBER
SECURITY DEPARTMENT NOW
SAYING THE APP. USED FOR
CAUCUSING IN IOWA WAS NOT
VETTED BY ANYBODY AT DHS
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY
OFFERED.
OFFERED. WHY?
WHY? HERE WITH REACTION IS THE
ACTING SECRETARY OF HOMELAND
SECURITY CHAD WOLF.
CHAD, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING.
STEVE: SO EVERYBODY HAS BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THIS APP.
IT WAS GOING TO CHANGE
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING. AS IT TURNS OUT BEHIND THE
SCENES BEFORE THEY USED IT
LAST NIGHT DHS HAD OFFERED,
TO WHAT, THE APP.?
>> OUR CYBER SECURITY AND
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AGENCY HAD OFFERED TO TEST
THAT APP. FROM A HACKING
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. THEY DECLINED AND SO WE ARE
SEEING A COUPLE OF ISSUES
WITH IT.
WITH IT. I WOULD SAY RIGHT NOW WE
DON’T SEE ANY MALICIOUS
CYBER ACTIVITY GOING ON.
STEVE: NOBODY HACKED INTO
IT?
IT? >> NOBODY HACKED INTO IT A
STRESS OR LOAD ISSUE AS WELL
AS A REPORTING ISSUE WE HAVE
SEEN IN IOWA.
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS GIVEN
THE AMOUNT OF SCRUTINY THAT
WE HAVE ON ELECTION SECURITY
THESE DAYS THIS IS A
SECURITY EVENT AND GOES TO
THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE OF OUR
ELECTIONS.
ELECTIONS. STEVE: TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT ELECTION DAY SECURITY
AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE
FIRST TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER
HOW SURE ARE WE THERE IS NOT
GOING TO BE SOMETHING KOOKY
GOING ON IN THE INTERNET?
>> I WOULD SAY TODAY AND
THIS YEAR WE ARE MORE SECURE
THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN.
AS WE LOOK AT 2016 AND OUR
PREPARATIONS FOR 2018 WE ARE
EVEN MORE SECURE THAN 16.
WE ARE CONTINUING TO BUILD
AND LEARN THE LESSONS THAT
WE HAVE DONE.
I WOULD SAY WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE FOLKS ON SITE AS WE DID
IN IOWA.
IN IOWA. WE HAVE ELECTION WAR ROOMS
FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE FOLKS ON SIGHT AND
READY TO SUPPORT.
STEVE: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE
OTHER BIG STORY AND THAT IS
THE CORONAVIRUS.
THE CORONAVIRUS. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN
20,000 CASES WORLDWIDE.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. STEVE: HOW ARE WE MANAGING
ESSENTIALLY ISOLATING THE
UNITED STATES FROM INCOMING
CASES?
CASES? >> SURE.
>> SURE. SO PRESIDENT TRUMP REALLY
TOOK LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE AND FIRST AND FOREMOST
WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. SO WHAT WE DID IS WE DECIDED
TO ANY FLIGHTS COMING FROM
CHINA OR ANYONE WHO HAS
VISITED CHINA IN THE LAST 14
DAYS, WE WILL FUNNEL THOSE
INDIVIDUALS TO 11 11 AIRPORTS
TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE
RIGHT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
THERE.
THERE. THAT’S WHAT WE ARE DOING
TODAY SO THOSE FLIGHTS
COMING FROM CHINA OR THOSE
INDIVIDUALS VISITED CHINA IN
THE LAST 14 DAYS COMING TO
11 AIRPORTS AND GETTING SEEN
BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO
ARE MAKING DETERMINATIONS ON
WHETHER SOME TYPE OF
QUARANTINE IS NEEDED.
STEVE: RIGHT.
STEVE: RIGHT. >> OR SOME OTHER PROCEDURE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY
ARE ALL SEEN BY THOSE
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. STEVE: WHEN SOMEBODY
STEPPING OFF THE PLANE DO
THEY TAKE THEIR TEMPERATURE
OR SAY HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. GOINGS THROUGH A NUMBER OF
QUESTIONS AND NUMBER OF
MEDICAL CHECKS TO INCLUDE
TEMPERATURE.

DHS IS ALSO LOOKING AT THEIR
TRAVEL HIS HAD INDUSTRY TO
MAKE SURE THEY HAVEN’T BEEN
SOME PLACE TO MAKE SURE THEY
HAVEN’T DISCLOSED AS WELL.
STEVE: IF SOMEBODY HAS BEEN
SOME PLACE AND EXHIBITING
SYMPTOMS.
SYMPTOMS. HOW DO WE QUARANTINE THEM?
>> CAN YOU DO ONE OF TWO
WAYS.
WAYS. CDC DEPENDING IF THEIR
INFECTIOUS OR NOT WILL MAKE
THAT A GOVERNMENT QUARANTINE
TO USE LOCAL FACILITIES TO
DO THAT OTHERWISE, IT WILL
BE A SELF-IMPOSED HOUSE
QUARANTINE THAT WE SAW
DURING EBOLA.
DURING EBOLA. FROM THE DEPARTMENT’S
PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT AIRPORTS.
BUT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT
MARITIME PORTS AS WELL AS
LAND PORTS OF ENTRY SO FOLKS
COMING IN FROM CANADA AND
MEXICO AS WELL.
WE NEED TO HAVE PROCEDURES,
AND THE DEPARTMENT DOES, ON
ALL OF THESE PORTS OF ENTRY
NOT JUST THE AIRPORTS OF
