MICHAEL CHERTOFF, IN YOUR NEW BOOK "HOMELAND SECURITY: ASSESSING THE FIRST FIVE YEARS" YOU WRITE ABOUT... |
| 00:00:39 |
|
I THINK THAT IS A CONCERN, AND TO BE HONEST, IT WAS A PREDICTABLE CONCERN EVEN IN THE DAYS AFTER ZAKARIA... |
| 00:01:32 |
|
YOU DO NOT WRITE ABOUT THIS IN THE BOOK, BUT DO YOU SEE ANY SIGNS IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION THAT,... |
| 00:01:42 |
|
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AT THIS POINT SEEMS TO BE CONTINUING LARGELY ALONG THE COURSE THAT WE SET... |
| 00:02:04 |
|
NOT REGULARLY -- DO YOU TALK TO HER REGULARLY JACKSON A A GUEST: NOT REGULATE, BUT WE ARE FRIENDS... |
| 00:02:16 |
|
NOT REGULATE, BUT WE ARE FRIENDS. PRIOR TO 9/11, THE THINK BOARD ABOUT MOST WAS THE TRUCK BOMBS. ... |
| 00:03:07 |
|
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE ARE, THE FIRST THING YOU STRESS IS... |
| 00:03:17 |
|
FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MOMENT SECURITY, IF YOU CANNOT STOP THE ENEMY OVERSEAS, YOU WANT TO STOP THEM... |
| 00:03:55 |
|
OUR GUEST IS MICHAEL CHERTOFF, SERVED FROM 2005 THROUGH 2009 AS SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY. THE... |
| 00:04:33 |
|
GIVEN THE RECENT DISCLOSURES TO WHICH -- TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE FEDERER HAS LIED ABOUT THINGS... |
| 00:05:08 |

| 00:05:19 |
|
OK, THANK YOU. |
| 00:05:23 |
|
THIS HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS. WHEN CONTRACTORS AREN'T AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THEY OFTEN... |
| 00:06:05 |
|
FIRST CALL-UP FOR MICHAEL CHERTOFF, ST. PETERSBURG, FLA., WILLIAM, INDEPENDENT LINE. CALLER: GOOD... |

| 00:07:29 |
|
YOUR PREDECESSOR, TOM RIDGE, WROTE IN HIS BOOK, BUT THEN DENIED IT, SAYING THAT THE COLOR-CODED SYSTEM,... |
| 00:07:44 |
|
ACTUALLY, I DO NOT THINK THAT TOM EVER WENT THAT FAR. HE WONDERED WHY SOME ARE MAKING A POLITICAL... |
| 00:09:09 |
|
AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN NOW, WHAT YOU THINK OF YOUR TSA? |
| 00:09:14 |

I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH IT FREQUENTLY. I AM IMPRESSED BY THE SCREENERS. I HAVE HAD... |
