A look at the days top news and headlines. That he was copied on, blank copied on that he had during his time at the Bush Administration and the senators on the republican side saying, he you have already said that you are going to void against them, so why do we have to go through this . I think that they are going to run into a brick wall as far as logistics of getting those requests answered, Mitch Mcconnell has said that this is going to go forward october 1st. Chuck grassley has said that youre going to see 1 million plus documents. Not only all of the writings that deal with the 300 plus different decisions that were made, so there is plenty of reams of information to look at how this judge could potentially be a justice, and i do not think that the democratic efforts will go far. Dana all right, bret baier, thank you so much. We will see you, dana. Dana fox news alert, Facebook Says it has suspended 32 swiss suspicious pages, dana what is the reaction on capitol hill . The news broke an hour ago. You are absolutely right, lawmakers are quick to say that they think it is russia, that russia once a week america coming out of the vice chair of the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Mark warner of virginia saying todays disclosure is further evidence of the kremlin continues to exploit platforms like facebook to sew division and spread disinformation. I am glad that facebook is taking some steps to pinpoint and address the activity. Ben sasse saying russia and china understand that successful operations do not create new problems, but exploit existing fissures, Thats Why Moscow is working to divide americans by stoking both sides of nearly every culture war, the message here is washington and Silicon Valley must do better.

Let me be clear, our Intelligence Community has it right, it was the russians, we know that, they know that.

Dana fox news alert, facebook announcing a short time ago that it has discovered a coordinated Political Campaign aiming at interfering in the midterm elections by using dozens of fake accounts and profiles on the platform. All of this as a department of Homeland Security forming a
cyber hub to protect against threats, including those targeting the political infrastructure. Kirstjen nielsen joining us now. It is a pleasure to be with theo. In studio and in new york. Talk to me about the story just a moment ago, but this was what was happening in 2016 when Facebook Says, they did not know, or that they decided to Take The Money And Run with it, but this year its going to be different . It is a story that facebook is taking this very seriously, they should be commended for what they are doing today. And the threat is very real. The russians or whoever in this case, we have not attributed, but russians and other states are attempting to manipulate us. Dana there were some members of Congress Speaking out to mike emanuel that it was the russians, i guess we have any reason to believe that it was not them . I dont, but i have not seen the intel assessment yet. Today we have been celebrating our cyber summit, as you know, talking about different ways to
begin ways with the private sector, i will be interested to see how the intel assessment assesses the newest and latest development. Dana tell me about your particular responsibility at dhs in terms of preserving the Election Security and threats against it . We protect political infrastructure, and the ability to protect the infrastructure, and we have made Great Strides in the last year. So i think 2016 was a wakeup call for all of us. Happy to report that all 50 states are working with us now. So we do everything from sharing information, Vulnerability Assessments to look at redundancy and demonstrating to the voters that their vote counted. Dana i understand that congress allocated 308 million, dhs gets to decide where they are getting that money. Do you think the states are spending that wisely to protect their machines in their systems . Is there enough money . Do we need anymore . Are they doing the right things
to protect against the attacking . As we saw last year, devcon, they can find a way to get in there and the states have all of the response about it, it is not just your responsibility. They have the formal responsibility, we tried to support and channel our services. It is a step in the right direction, as you said, 380 million that will be used from the election assistance commission, the way in which the states are determining how to use them as an conduction with the governance model, they have to think shortterm and longterm, longterm supply chain and short term how can they have their statistics figured correctly, do task management, Information Sharing on the basics that they need to do. Dana showing that 62 percent in america think that the Trump Administration should be doing more to protect the nation from election meddling, how can you convince them that you are doing enough . This is part of your question earlier, there are different
things happening here, one is an attack against election infrastructure, working hand in glove with state locals, the physical infrastructure of the system, the other is encountering for influence, and we have to do more there. Americans need to be aware that it is a real threat, happening real time, the fbi has the lead, a task force that supports them, and we work with the private sector such as facebook, Companies Like facebook to pull the content. Dana reporting that the russians are trying to figure out how to hack into the election grade, that would be an act of war, what are we doing, part of your summit this morning, i saw a lot of the Power Companies are there, there has to be a lot of coordination hopefully going on there. Yes, absolutely, that particular sector have been great partners for quite some time, we are trying to move towards a model collective defense. So the adversaries are truly crowd sourcing, using computers and bots, using our guns are governments our military, we have to do the same thing, bring
everything on the government side and the private sector side. So if the electorate sector and the Department Of Energy working closely to understand how the electricity is generated, how it is distributed, where the vulnerabilities are, but yes, the russians continue to probe and try to get access to the system. Dana let me switch gears on immigration, as i understand there are 711 children who are considered ineligible to be reunited with her parents. How do you plan to get them eligible or is it possible that some of them might never see their parents again . So there is a lot to that number, first and foremost, we want to protect the children. So the reason that the numbers remaining as either because we had no way to prove that the adult that they arrived with it as a parent or guardian, we continue to work with others to get information to understand if they are, but also some of these
adults unfortunately our hard earned criminals, we are not going to place children at the hands of those who have already been convicted in some cases of kidnapping, child abuse, and smuggling and trafficking. Dana so they dont have a legal status, do they become less and dreamers . We have 10,000 children at the care of hhs who came here unaccompanied, parents separated before they got to the border and send them with the hands of smugglers, criminals, frankly. And in some cases other adults, they will be part of unaccompanied children partner, working to find a sponsor, sometimes it can be another family member, or somebody that the family back home in their originated country designates. They will work to find them a home. Dana the stories are hard to read, write, especially for children who are apparently not the same as they were before the separation, with the aclu really pushing, and the federal government working closely with the judge to get this done, do you wish that there had been a better system in place in order to identify where the parents were going, where the children were going so that this would
not be so arduous . What i really wish is that it should not be so broken, children should be with her parents, we should protect our borders and our communities, keeping smugglers and traffickers out, we cannot do that with a given law. I really wish that congress dana i agree, but the system that was put in place after they all came, that was our fault. We knew where the kids were in the parents were, but we tried to continue to pave it based each lowest comply with court ruling, but we had the plan in place, and the courts change the way where we wanted to do it, where he reunited all eligible families, but we continue to reunite all children with her family.

You two on together. This is a pretty unusual race, shall we start with you that you have the Special Election and then they have to run again in two months . That is the case, it is going to be tight, no doubt about it, but this time Special Elections are special for a reason, liberal donors from california, new york are flooding the district with ads and money to try to prop up democrat Danny Oconnors failing campaign, and just last week Danny Oconnor after running ads disavowing nancy pelosi, finally admitted what we already knew that he would not vote for her first speaker if given the opportunity. On the other hand just endorsed by john kasich in a new ad out today, so we feel that momentum is trending troys way. Dana i have to say that they must be doing something right if the race is this close . Hi, dana, thank you for having me. You are right, this is a Deep Red Republican district that democrats have not held since
1980. The fact that my counterpart is pouring millions and millions of dollars along with the with the republican counterparts or tried to drag Troy Balderston across the finish line is a really ominous sign for the election next week as well as their prospects in november. Dana let me ask you something then, depending on how it goes for you, whoever wins next tuesday, if it is this close, will be the Committee Try to help in november either way . We will stand behind troy in november, we are confident that he will be an incumbent number on congress, but as we see with georgia, arizona, they are special because they are fighting over turf and democrats like merediths group and others have poured a lot more money in trying to win the seat, but they become less competitive in november. Dana meredith, just a fact that you want to spend money, does that mean that you want to win . Of course we want to win, we would not invest a dime if we do
not think that Danny Oconnor was within striking distance of winning this very republican seat. And i have to disagree with matt, they are spending, and rcc is spending significantly more money, hitting the panic button in this final week of television ads, and thats because they know if they lose their Special Election the november battlefield is much more competitive for democrats. If they have to spend at this rate to hold onto ohio 12, they are in big trouble in november, they will have a real loss of momentum if any exist anymore. Dana yesterday, over at mark keita stated a study of medicare for all, oh what it would cost, 32 trillion, with a t, do you find that not in this race in ohio, but is this issue of medicare for all an issue that republicans can use in their elections . And i will ask merritt at the same question, go ahead. Without a doubt, it has become orthodox, party members,
candidates, nancy pelosi supporting singlepayer health care, 32 trillion in taxes, expect to see that and a lot of assets, but that is not the only thing that they will do. The pace of medicares insolvency, Ending Part D in the va as we know it, and giving the government complete control of your doctor, prescriptions, and hospitals, that is unacceptable, that is a fight we are ready to have in the fall. Dana one of the things that they have done such a good job on is figuring out recruitment for specific districts, a democrat that is here, and other progressive over there, but if the party is going for a medicare for all platform, does that erase some of those gains for moderate democrats . Lets talk about health care, we will welcome a fight related to which is ready for health care and which will increase costs and premiums in increasing costs of prescription
drugs like asthma, cancer, diabetes, that is a Republican Party that continues to raise those costs. Dana but the headlines, if you are talking medicare for all, is that a good thing . Having a robust discussion on lowering the cost of health care and prescription drugs, and republicans are doing the opposite. And i have to say quickly about medicare, lets talk about medicare for a second, the republicans are, they gave a massive corporate giveaway that increase the dead and they want to pay for it by Cutting Medicare and Social Security. In ohio 12 on top of that, Troy Balderston wants to raise the retirement age. That is something that Danny Oconnor is taking headon and promising voters in ohio that he will protect their medicare and Social Security that they have paid into for their whole lives. Dana let me give you the last word there. She wants to talk about increasing costs, 32 trillion in new taxes, that is increasing
costs. Dana that is the final last word. You are a man of few words today, right on time. Meredith kelly and matt gorman, love to have you on. Thanks, dana. Dana authority is updating us on the case of missing College StudentMollie Tibbetts. Moments from
