Transcripts For CNNW Wolf 20150602

Week. All of a sudden he was getting another term. Today this. What happened . Wolf we were speaking on friday and talking about potentially the most historic week in the history of the planets most popular sport and now i can safely say this is the most momentous day in the sport of soccer. Weve never seen anything like it. Im flabbergasted and a loss for words which isnt great for a correspondent but sepp blatter at fifa 40 years, this year his 40th anniversary, the third longest serving president in fifas history, the world governing body for soccer but his fifth term has lasted only four days. He was reelected at the age of 9 on friday, beating challenger prince ali bin al hussein in a week two investigations in switzerland and the United States saw dawn raids, arrests and indictments like a hollywood mafia movie and since blatters reelection on friday day after day has seen more lines, developments and scandals and seems blatter has bowed to pressure and getquit wolf. Only the other day he was reelected and the runnerup jordans prince ali bin al hussein pulled out, second round of ball lotting. Do we assume prince ali will emerge as the leader of fifa . I dont think so, wolf. In a 12minute News Conference the reign of sepp blatter in charge since 1998 came to an end he spoke for several minutes and then the chairman of fifas audit and compliance committee, he now has a huge job and laid out whats going to happen next. And that is this only Fifas Congress can elect a new president. Thats the 209 National Soccer associations from every corner of the planet they came together in zurich to reelect blatter should be asked to come back for an Extraordinary Congress but wont happen until december at the earliest and some time between december and march next year because the next Fifa Congress otherwise wouldnt have been until mexico next may. They have to decide on a new president. Blatter will not stand again. Hes not seeking for a new mandate but understands he cant lead this organization with the scandal its been hit with and instead will look for a new man. My reading of this ive only had moments to digest it the floor is open anything is possible and soccer is really looking for a few leader to turn a new page in its history. And everybody will wonder what happened over the past few days only the other day he was reelected and talking about what he planned to do over the next several years. All of a sudden he resigns today. Something happened in between and were going to try to find out. Stay with us alex. Christine brennan is joining us on the phone, a cnn sports analyst. Christine, i assume youre as flabbergasted as the rest of us . Wolf i am and i cant help but thinking what happened over the last four days to change things. Sepp blatter is one of those officials that we know well from the International Olympic committee, from all of the fifa and they are, these fed deteriorations that run sports. They are invincible. Theyre leading lives that we cant imagine in a democratic society. And so he had this. It was his. He had won and it was over. And the thought that now hes giving that up four days later, tells me something changed. And as we know the scandal continues, the fifa scandal, with the New York Times reported that blatters top lieutenant at fifa made 10 million in Bank Transactions authorities believe that. That was reported on monday. Is it possible that they are getting closer to blatter himself and if thats the case maybe he knows more about the investigation and maybe he realized he had to go. It will be fascinating to watch how that plays out. There has to be a reason why this occurred. This didnt just happen because blatter thought this is the best for fifa. No. Its all about himself and he has to be doing this for some reason we dont yet know. We dont know the reason although a lot of speculation, christine, that the u. S. Attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who filed all these charges, the other day, against these other fifa leaders, the fbi director james comey, they repeatedly said their investigation is by no means complete. In fact its only just beginning. And they fully left open the door more indictments potentially were on the way. I can only assume they are looking very closely at sepp blatt he and what, if anything he knew about the alleged wrongdoings, bribery and other financial irregularities. Thats the assumption im working on christine. And i am too, wolf. How can you not be looking at sepp blatter, the man in charge since 1998. This organization we are finding out, because of the good work of Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department and fbi, were finding out this organization is corrupt to the core. This is a man whos been running it since 1998 as i said. How did he not know . Im asking questions because you and i are journalists and have no idea for sure but weve been in this business for a while and it just makes sense that blatter had to know. It just defies logic he wouldnt know. If he knew, then are the authorities closing in. This is what this tells me without, again, any specific knowledge. But just logic and common sense tells you theres more to this now. Blatter absolutely, wolf, he had to know. Hes the man, he is soccer hes been soccer in the worldwide now for, well mentioning 40 some years, but really in charge for the last 17. This is a guy running the whole organization. Fifa is crumbling around him and the authorities are, of course moving in and finding things out that we kind of thought about but never would have known for sure until the u. S. Was investigating and is doing this. Now you have to wonder if hes next and he, of course, would be just a huge huge figure to fall if the u. S. Does start to investigate and find that he was also involved. Something happened over the past four days to convince him to resign. We will try to learn what that was. Christine, thanks very much. S theres another breaking story were following now. This one out of boston. A Police Officer and an fbi agent shot and killed a man who was being watched by the u. S. Joint Terrorism Task force. The Boston Police commissioner says when the man was confronted by authorities he pulled out a large military style knife which he refused to put down. Deborah feyerick is following the story. Do we know why this man was being watched . Were learning investigators from the joint Terrorism Task force had this man on radar. It was for potential terror activity now were learning specifically that it seems to be he was making threats against Police Officers perhaps imminent threats against Police Officers. Now at about 7 00 a. M. Today in bostons roslindale section the Police Officer and fbi agent cub fronted the man and when the man turned around he was brandishing what they describe as a fairly large military style knife. He was told repeatedly to put down the knife and he didnt and, therefore police and the fbi agent felt they had no option but to shoot him down and taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. More on this story developing, obviously, right now as well. Thank you. The u. S. Senate here in washington votes on a bill that would give the National Security agency the nastsa some of its powers back. Major provisions of the patriot act expired after senator rand paul and others blocked the extension of the law the senate is taking up a house version known as the usa freedom act. Republican congressman James Sensenbrenner of wisconsin is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and introduced the patriate act after 9 11 attacks and the usa freedom act. Thanks very much for joining us. Whats going to happen now . Well the senate is going to have a vote and i hope that they pass the freedom act unamended and send it to the president for his signature, which will happen because the president has repeatedly stated he supports this bipartisan compromise which was overwhelmingly approved by the house. If the senate makes changes, it has to go back to the house. You then have to review it. It has to pass the house again. You could be going back and forth on the House Senate Conference committee. Do you think thats likely. I hope it isnt likely. There are some authorities that the security people and intelligence people need and its not just cutting back on what type of vare lens is needed but weve got to reinstate the lone wolf terrorist provisions and the courtordered roving wire tap provisions which also expire. Together with my other house sponsors we did send a statement out that said that all three of the proposed senate amounts are poison pills and if the senate wants to have the bill bounce back and forth or further delay with the conference committee, then very important provisions of this law will end up not being implemented and i think that would make the American Public more vulnerable. The freedom act which you support passed the house of representatives overwhelmingly with 338 votes, obviously a bipartisan statement of support. It moves the collection of the bulk phone data from the nast to the various phone companies, Telecommunication Companies like verizon or at t. Some have complained, though they wonder how long the phone companies would have to retain all of this bulk data. Can you answer that . Well theres no provision in the freedom act that says they have to retain it longer than is necessary for their ordinary business purposes like sending out bills and making sure the bills are paid. If we need Real Time Intelligence on whos calling whom thats sufficient. The nsa could go to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and get a warrant, but the warrant could only name a specific person. There would be no bulk collection either under the expired provisions of the pate yts yot act or other laws like the National Security letter law which were not a part of the patriot act. So im not overly concerned about that and i think that saying that we have to put in law how long the phone Companies Keep their records beyond normal business practices, is really a red herring. Some have complained senator, angus king the independent senator from maine, he said he doesnt know if they have to keep it for six days six weeks, six months six years, thats a problem. Youve heard that complaint . Ive heard that complaint and we know theyre going to keep it long enough to make sure they can sepdnd out their bills and collect them and if somebody doesnt pay their bills they have to keep the records long enough to go to court to get a judgment to collect them. So again, i think thats a red herring. People keep accounts receivable and billing records long enough to protect themselves. I think that will be long enough to protect the public because old intelligence is useless intelligence. You think american the American Public is less secure today than it was on sunday before the nsa, the patriot act expired . I dont tlipg so. I think the patriot act has made americans safer, which is not safe but safer. On the other hand the original intent of the patriot act was to prevent data mining and beginning in 2006, the nsa und arer er both the bush and obama administrations ignored the law. The second court of appeals in new york said that the administration completely misconstrued the stated intent of the law and said that what they were doing with bulk collection was illegal. I think the court got it right. That means theyll be able to have corrections to only target people suspected of terrorism, the safer American People are. Every day the Senate Delays on sending this bill to the president , is going to make us less safe. Mr. Chairman, thanks very much for joining us. Thank you.

The Transportation Safety administration, the tsa, has a new boss Melvin Carraway is out. He was reassigned following revelations that his security agents failed to detect banned items including weapons and explosives get this 95 of the time during a recent inspection by the department of Homeland Security Inspector General. Homeland security secretary jeh johnson has already made some changes directing the tsa to revise its screening procedures conduct training and reevaluate its screening equipment. Joining us now from capitol hill is representative john my ka the former chairman of the House Transportation Infrastructure Committee and helped set up the tsa following the 9 11 attacks. Thanks very much for joining us. I know youve been critical of the tsa in the past suggesting occasionally its out of control. This report which we all learned about yesterday, it is so shocking what was your reaction . Well nothing is new in washington or with tsa. In fact wolf i got a report that cnn did in 2007 the title is airport screeners fail to find most fake bombs. You all reported, cnn, in 2007 that 75 of the time they failed and in this report it says also they had 30,000 screeners. We now have 46,000 screeners and theyre failing 95 of the time according to this report. So theyre spending more money, bigger bureaucracy and performing even worse. I remember that report cnn did in 2007 and we all assumed, though in the aftermath of that report some major changes, improvements were being made at screening locations and airports all over the country. In this new report the Inspector General the department of Homeland Security said there were 70 attempts to smuggle through tsa agents fake bombs, guns explosives and 67 times, 67 times, they got the stuff through the tsa, which is so shocking so worrisome. What do you do about that . Well its even worse than that wolf. That was dhs and tsa. Theyre doing red teams, checking themselves there are other reports like gao and they have many reports here of showing the failures in training recruitment and row taining personnel. And the Equipment Management they dont know how much equipment they have they dont know how to maintain it. They dont keep regular reports on it. Some of the equipment they bought we spent millions they had to be destroyed by d. O. D. After they spent millions of dollars storing them. The back scatter equipment, which you dont see at the airport the misplacement of the equipment theyve got out there for detection and the failure of that equipment, we see, is not working after spending billions of dollars and hiring thousands and thousands of more peoplep we have 14,000 bureaucrats in tsa across the country, 14,000 and 46,000 screeners. Its out of control. Because some people say maybe these screeners arent being paid enough. I know youve in the past proposed privatizing this whole operation. What would that do . Well first of all, the government needs to get out of the screening business. It needs to set the standards, the protocols, it needs to do the audits and inspections and also go after people who pose a risk connecting the dots the intelligence and security portions not what theyre doing, trying to manage this huge bureaucracy, get them out of that business and into the security business like almost all the other countries have done. U. K. Israel were like romania and bulgaria. We have the huge government bureaucracy that never stops. Get people to do what they do best and government has an Important Role in setting the standards and protocols and auditing the process. Congressman, thanks very much for joining us.
