i want to bring in congressman adam schiff, he joins me now.ike to read you a statement from dr. kent brantley's wife that we just received. it says, quote, it was a relief to welcome kent home today. i spoke with him and he is glad to be back in the u.s. i am thankful to god for his safe transport and for giving him the strength to walk into the hospital. please continue praying for kent and nancy and please continue praying for the people of liberia and those who continue to serve them there. of course, these are two people that were trying to help ebola victims and then contracted it themselves. you know, we also heard that kent's parents were watching cnn earlier today and saw him be able to walk out of the ambulance which shows us a sign of where he stands and that brought them to tears, the fact that he had the ability to walk out. from what you're hearing from your constituents, congressman, what are they saying? are they comfortable with an ebola patient coming into the united states and would you be comfortable with having them in your

let's bring in adam schiff of california. thank you so much on your time. i want to pick on what richard said. we have surveillance flights manned and unmanned. if there are targeted found, what will the united states do? >> well, it's a good question. i'm concerned about it. i don't think the case has been made for air strikes in syria. there is that pressure that when you develop a target list that you want to hit the targets, but we don't have the same ground capabilities as we do in iraq. i think it would be far less effective in syria and pose a great risk of dragging us in iraq we have capable fighting force in the kurds. we have are regime in baghdad we can work with. none of those ingredients are present in syria where you have isis fighting al qaeda, fighting hezbollah, fighting the regime. in that toxic mix, terrorist not much for us to work with except for the loose confederation moderate rebel which is are not moderate or cohesive. i'm not sure what will be li accomplished by the air strikes. let me play what the president said yesterday. warnin

joining me now, democratic congressman adam schiff of california, chair of the congressional caucus forom of the press. congressman, this is obviously the most horrific, monstrous kind of act imaginable, and we should say that this is something this group has been doing to hundreds of people, not just this american journalist in question. >> well, that's absolutely right, and it's hard to imagine a more apt description than evil for what this group represents. they're beheading people, they're forcing people to convert. they're victimizing women and children, starving whole population centers. they are the personification of evil. and we see this most graphically in this latest barbarous act. >> so i think there's two questions to distinguish here, one is the question of is isis, isil evil, there's a widespread feeling what they're toing doing is monstrous and evil. there's the question, a strategic matter, is the united states currently at war with isis? the air strikes that began against isis began under the conditions in which we were engaged in a limited humanitarian mission to evac

. >> joining me now is democratic congressman adam schiff.e. >> good to see you. >> we have a presentation of a hopeful picture from the ambassador, through moderation. does it have any hope, really, and does the united states have a role in pursing that? >> well, there is hope and i think we have made progress in terms of dealing with fatah and mahmoud abbas in the west bank. it's been a different story in the hamas-ruled gaza. israel has allowed in construction buildings, palestinians to improve the quality of infrastructure and life and they have used that material to build tunnels in which they can infiltrate israel and kidnap people. even if the relaxation of those restrictions has led to these tunnels, you can see israel's reluctance. the broader point is that at the end of the day, when this fighting is over, the only answer is a return to a peace negotiation and a two-state solution. that's the only way that this continual cycle is going to come to an end. >> you bring up a good point in that the supplies and resources being used to m

congressman adam schiff is urging the attorney general to help local police departments buy body cameras. a group of civil rights groups and lawmakers wrote a letter to the president asking for the justice department to help make other changes to local police forces. they want to make racial bias training mandatory. to implement diversity hiring, and retention guidelines so police reflect the communities where they serve. and to appoint a police czar to watch for egregious activity. these are the kinds of steps we should take. claiming police need military hardware because they are patrolling, quote, urban areas, that demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of what the last few weeks have been all about. joining me now are congressman elijah cummings, democrat of maryland who signed on to the letter urging the justice department to change police practices, and patricia bynes, committeewoman of ferguson township. thank you both for being here. >> good to be with you. >> thank you for having me. >> congressman, the new comment about military gear in "urban areas," doesn't it highlight wha

congressman adam schiff from california, democrat, supports doing things to protecting americans, supports humanitarian interventions on behalf of the yazidis and christians but that's it. we're at an impasse where the president and congress don't want to go any further than we have. isis isn't going to wait for us to make up our minds. >> bret, as i hear republicans talking, with the exception i think of rand paul, the senator from kentucky who doesn't want to do anything, i think i hear a lot of republicans essentially telling the president, go further. you have to be more aggressive. this is a real threat to the homeland and you have to do something about it. is that how you see the dynamics within the gop? >> yeah. with great relief, i think republicans are coming back around to their traditional foreign policy seriousness kind of their hawkish instincts. i think they understands that a rudderless world where america is sort of going into an isolationist shell of a sort that rand paul wants is going to be a very dangerous world. >> but what about the democrats bret? because they're the

this comes from one of your democratic colleagues, congressman adam schiff out of california.crats and republicans are extraordinarily wary of being sucked into a large eradication, knowing that last time it didn't work, representing how the u.s. moves forward with the threat from isis. congressman cuellar, where do you stand on that spectrum? >> first of all, we have to go after isis. there is -- right now there's been limitless strikes in iraq, and certainly we need to keep in mind that the border with iraq and syria, it's nonexistent. if we're going to go after the leadership and we're going to go after them before they come after us and they go after those western targets, we saw what they did to that reporter, we have to go after them. there is a nonexistent border, and i do support strikes going after them even if it calls going into syria. >> mr. gohmert, do you think we can get rid of isis or stop this brutal march it's on short of boots on the ground? can we rely on allies for that with help in the air? what do you see our militia involvement being? >> if we just do h

>> i tried to help adam schiff and a few members of the house and senate. adam is a democratic congressman from california who was once a student of mine to draft an amendment on the premise that an amendment would be a good idea. i tried to help write it in the best way possible but what i ended up with was not something i could particularly support because all it would do is give these guys who frankly got there as a result of financial influence as well as everything else the power to write their own ticket for reelection. the amendments that people have proposed, many of them are just, to be candid, ridiculous, saying corporations are not people. that is one of them. what good would that do? the first amendment doesn't protect only 7 speakers. it protect speech and listeners. if bt were to suddenly walked into the harvard book store and e t i think is not a person, if each he started speaking and the mayor of cambridge and the city council of cambridge said we don't want et who doesn't get to vote to have a lot of influence in cambridge, we are going to

the president's response to isis and other foreign policy challenges is democratic congressman adam schiffcalifornia. he's on the house intelligence committee. critics are blasting the president over this comment that he made, there's no strategy yet. here's what congressman mike rogers said on "the situation room." >> this is not like this happened last night or a few days ago. they went across that berm if full force around june of this year. we knew it was a problem before june. even the president said he was talking about this to iraqi officials other a year ago. this is so frustrating that with all of this going on, with certainly all the intelligence showing us the problems that are there, the president says i want a strategy, how to deal with this by the end of the week. it just tells you apparently we're not taking this seriously for some length of time. >> congressman, can you respond to that? i mean, is that fair criticism of president obama? >> i don't think so, but you can tell people are going to pounce on that comment and they did. but the reality is, the administration has a

>> i try to help adam schiff and a few members of the house and the senate and the congressman who wasa student of mine to draft based on that the amendment would be a good idea. i tried to help write it in the best way possible that what i ended up with isn't something that i isaf could particularly support because all it would do is give these guys that frankly got there as a result of the financial influence as well as everything else the power to write their own ticket for re- election. the amendments people have proposed many of them are ridiculous saying that corporations are not people. what good would that do? if he were suddenly to walk into the harvard bookstore and i think he is not a person if he started speaking into the mayor of cambridge into th and the ciy council said we don't want et doesn't even get to vote to have a lot of influence in cambridge we are going to prevent him from spending money circulating the views that would violate the first amendment and say he is a person that can help. so constitutional amendment. i don't know how to work my way out of that box.

. >> "outfront" tonight, senior member of the house intelligence committee, congressman adam schiff joinings very much. always good to have you. >> you bet. >> you heard jim speaking about the president and the white house not deciding yet or hasn't determined definitively if it would need congressional support if it decides to attack iisis. do you believe it needs congressional support? >> i believe it does, jim, part of circumstance where there's another rescue attempt or where there's a very immediate threat as in a cell is planning an attack against the homeland, under those emergency circumstances, the president can act first and then come to congress. but if he's talking about a sustained air campaign in syria with the general objective of setting back isis or defeating isis, then he really does need to come to congress for an authorization. >> the president's decisionmake on this has fallen into a familiar rhythm, you have the presentation of options, consideration of options, surveillance flights but not air strikes over syria authorized. do you believe that the obama administration

joining me now is congressman adam schiff.ongressman, thank you for being with us this morning. >> you bet. >> as a member of the house intelligence committee here, in the years since 9/11, have you ever seen or sensed a greater threat to america's homeland than isis appears to be now? >> no. i really think this is the most significant threat we have had in years. because they hold territory. they're well founded, well organized. they are motivated to attack us. and you have these thousands of foreign fighters. many coming from europe. some coming from the united states who are becoming further radicalized and ultimately will come home, or try to come home. that's an enormous threat to us. perhaps not in the immediate term in terms of the threat on the home land. but certainly in the midterm, if not sooner. yes. very significant threat. >> significant as well since we are talking about the killing of james foley at the hands of isis here. could the united states done even more to prevent it short of paying that $132 million ra

another war powers letter to congress, but i talked to a key democratic congressman this evening, adam schiff, who sits on the house intelligence committee. he says that may not work legally. schiff and others in the president's party want mr. obama to go to congress and seek authorization if he goes into syria, but anderson, the white house is not making a commitment to do that at this point. >> all right, jim, appreciate the update. now, when it comes to congressional support about possible action against isis, president obama already has somebody in his corner that may come as a surprise. our chief congressional correspondent, dana bash, joins us live on what the president can expect from larwmakers. so if the president were to go to congress, where does support stand? >> it's really mixed. there seems to be some robust support for the president to be much more aggressive with military air strikes, to confront isis, and to give him the power that he needs, if he thinks he needs it, from congress. but democrats are really split, and i think the answer to whether or not the president will co

senator tim kaine and my former colleague adam schiff out of california are leading the charge.ess can't have it both ways. they can't say defend us, don't let ice sis hurt us in the homeland but we don't want to do anything. come october 7th, that's the date the war powers resolution will expire and congress needs to step up and give the president the authority to act. i will say in the earlier conversations, i think it's an important conversation, the middle east countries, it's a moment of truth to step up, get rid of terrorist organization like we've seen no other in isis. it's also important that this week nato is meeting, they have a summit in wales where we need those european countries that are also at threat. when you look at great britain right now, they are under high security because they think there's a terrorist attack in their country that's going to be eminent. most americans don't feel that isis is a throat here in the homeland of the united states. yes, they were a threat to our assets in northern iraq, in irbil. we need to make sure they don't grow where they

. >> congressman adam schiff this morning on msnbc talking about the growing threat by the isis terror organization. pentagon officials say recent air strikes in iraq have been successful in disrupting some of their activities. those same leaders acknowledge that to fully contain the group, a military campaign will have to expand beyond iraq. >> it requires a variety of instruments, only one small part of which is air strikes. i'm not predicting those will occur in syria. at least not by the united states of america. but it requires the application of all of the tools of national power, diplomatic, economic, information, military. >> when it comes to the prospect of u.s. intervention in syria, one of the biggest challenges the black holes in our intelligence. we saw that this week after learning of a failed hostage rescue to find james foley, who was later killed by isis. evan coleman is an nbc news terrorism analyst here. how much did that change things, that video that came out this week? changed just the tone, change any thinking by the white house or the pentagon? >> look, i think
