this article this morning -- it says tom cole and adam schiff have sent a letter saying we need to have this debate. have you to sign on to this letter? guest: we sent a similar letter a few months ago. we have done this time and time again. we are a bit tired of sending letters. one of the things we will probably do when we come back offer a privilege revolution -- resolution and try to force a debate and a vote on our involvement right now in iraq and syria. if i can make a quick point -- we are spending roughly $8 million a day. the american people and those who wear the uniform, we have a responsibility and obligation to have this debate. it makes no sense for this leadership of the house to not let us meet our constitutional responsibility. this study group could help educate our colleagues, bringing in people who know the constitution to say you have a responsibility, bejewel responsibility -- mutual responsibility. host: let's put the numbers up on the screen. guest: not only do we not vote on whether or not to put our men and women in harm's way, we don't pay for it, either. the

one top democrat in the house intel committee, adam schiff he says he believes the administration still lot of questions to answer especially when you're evaluating the idea of the risk versus the reward. here's what he said on "state of the union" earlier today. >> this was an extraordinary risk. if one of our people were captured if we lost some of our special forces there would be tough questions to answer about whether it was worth it. and i think notwithstanding the success of this separationoperation, we still are going to have to ask those questions. was the intelligence valley that we hoped to gain and the fact we are gaining worth this kind of risk? >> and some in congressional leadership were notified about the raid ahead of time on friday and were told there would be a series of briefings coming up for them this week. fred? >> then what about the value of the intelligence recovery and what's being said about the potential there? >> the u.s. government is saying there were reams and reams of data that was recovered from the mission site noting that there was a computer that co

this is sound from congressman adam schiff. >> our intelligence was good, but nonetheless, this was an extraordinary risk. if one of our people were captured if we lost some of our special forces there would be tough questions to answer about whether it was worth it. >> whether it was worth it. that's where i wanted to begin with you. knowing the brutality isis is capable of if they captured u.s. commandos, does the congressman have a point? is it worth the risk? >> well he has a point, but i think there are a couple other points worth making. one, i think there is some dispute right now as to whether this was, in fact the intended target, the so-called cfo. we've been hearing some chatter from the region that perhaps there were other people who were intended targets, perhaps even higher level military targets. of course if there is that treasure-trove that was captured laptop computers, and other documents, it could be crucial to understanding those flows of finance. of course that financial war is a crucial one in battling isis. >> i want to get to the treasure-trove in a minute. i w

the leaks that have been coming out especially from adam schiff, member of the house intelligence community talking about specific information they have that leads them to belief that this gentleman well, not a gentleman but this guy knew about the location of western hos tages and might have actually at one point been responsible for detaining her. what we have known before some in the oil and logistics, the oil field that he was actually caught at is is the biggest in syria. but this secondary point with the hostages now essentially becomes a primary point of interest and the lead for why this raid took place to try to get information. >> does this tell us that we have really got a important strategic member of isis? i mean, is is he as big as we are hoping he is in terms of hurting isis, destroying their ability to operate and getting intelligence? >> i don't think is he that big. i think you saw the administration trying to play up his importance in terms of great operation. fantastic delta force. >> flawless. >> flawless. >> that's great but the strategic level, you have to remember re

hearing what congressman adam schiff said questioning if it's worth it. what if it dent go the way it went? >> if you have a ferrari, do you keep it in the garage? >> i'm driving that sucker around. >> exactly. if you don't, the gaskets get bad. i'm very disappointed in the congressman. it's politics. we pay, as taxpayers, millions of dollars to train these men. >> what if they're taken hostage? this is isis we're talking about. >> as i said before should we put tutus on come home, and wait for them to come to us? >> i hear you. >> we have to take the fight to the bad guys and use the best people to do it. >> colonel james reese, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> speaking of isis and threat overseas, do motte miss fareed zakaria's special report "blind sided." >>> coming up it is the question that republican presidential candidates seem to be struggling with this past week. would you have authorized the invasion of iraq had you known then what you know now? >>> also this one hacker says he was able to take control of an airplane midflight. e

i want to turn to congressman adam schiff who is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, and i'm also joined by republican congressman ryan zenke, of the house armed services committee. also a former commander at navy s.e.a.l. team 6. gentlemen, thank you so much for being with me. congressman shift, to you first. you heard nick's reporting there. so many experts on isis aren't even particularly -- they don't know abu sayyaf all that well. it leads to the question of whether this is really who the delta force was going after. you were briefed, i believe, before this happened, before this operation happened. what were you told about the objective and was this the guy they were trying to get? >> well, this is the guy we were trying to get, but nonetheless, i think these are very important questions, and that is the only reason to take this kind of risk, and it was a very daring operation in the heart of isis-controlled territory, is either you can't launch a military strike from aircraft because of the risk of civilian casualties or you think the intelligence value of what

adam schiff says alarm bells should be going off and house speaker john boehner says the time has come president obama to change directions. >> the president's request for an authorization of use of military force calls for less authority than he has today. i just think given the fight that we're in it's irresponsible. this is why the president frankly should withdraw the authorization of use and military force and start over. for over two years now, i have been calling on the president to develop an over arching strategy to deal with this growing terrorist threat. we don't have one and the fact is the threat is growing faster than what we and our allies can do to stop it. >> he's the speaker of the house. he's blaming the president for something through congress. at some point it has to be the responsibility of the speaker of the house to do his job. i think what we see from the speaker excuse after excuse for why he hasn't done his job. >> would you say overall the strategy has been a success? >> john yeah overall, yes. it doesn't mean there are areas of setback as we saw in ramadi.

representative adam schiff is going to ask us the war against isis and the nsa and they will look backnam war 40 years after it ended. >>> first alert weather time now. if you are just waking up, hope you are enjoying the beginning of your memorial day weekend. the day off tomorrow in many cases. >> going to be a beautiful day. much warmer than yesterday. about 10 degrees warmer throughout much of the metro area. we are going to keep the sunshine and low humidity. that's crucial this time of year. let's start off with a look at the michael and son weather cam. everything is calm and pleasant out there. we are looking at light wind speeds as well as that low humidity. 65 degrees by 9 a.m. notice the winds out of the south-southwest five miles an hour. southerly all day long and about 5 to 10 miles per hour at worst. noontime temperature 76 degrees. by the time we get into the afternoon you are going to want that breeze because it will feel very refreshing and help keep you cool. we will look at that humidity starting to increase heading into monday. today it's not an issue. it's warmer

tomorrow morning on "face the nation" on cbs bob schieffer's guests will include john mccain and adam schiff and also looks back at the war in vietnam. >>> the new yorkxreports the justice department is accusing general motors of criminal wrongdoing in failing to disclose its defective ignition switch problems. more than 100 deaths are linked to the deaths. some former gm workers could face criminal charges and the company could pay a fine of more than $1 billion. >>> foreign policy reports an american aid worker who was killed held hostage in syria apparently passed on the chance to fleeher captors out of respect for another hostage. she was taken prisoner by the islamic state in 2013. she was held with an older woman who was in poor health. a chance to escape came about a year later. questions remain as to whether mueller was killed during a jordanian strike in february or may have died before that. >>> the guardian of london said it was a no-go to catch a ride to the top of the famous tower. a staff member walked off the job over pick pockets. they're calling for police protection. they'r

cook: did you feel better about -- we had adam schiff here earlier in the week, and he was saying kudos to our special forces but with concerns about whether it was worth the risk. that is not a view you share, i take it? rep. mccaul: out of respect -- i have respect for adam, but i think if we can take down an isis leader, critically important. if we can take out their leadership -- they will replace him with someone but he has a lot of expertise. his wife was involved with the enslavement of women the hostages. the hostage situation -- i argue that we need to take out evil, particularly at the top of the chain, and that is worthwhile. we need to do more of that, because otherwise we may isas well walk away from the situation and we do so at the peril of the united states. mr. cook: margin from "the hill." >> earlier this year at a hearing, you expressed concern about dhs efforts, saying it was a federally funded jihadi pipeline. i wonder if you could give an update -- have your concerns about the effort and satisfied or delayed? rep. mccaul: i came back from a trip -- our european cou

dave: you feel better, we had adam schiff earlier in the week and he was saying kudos to our specialces for concerns about whether it was worth the risk, especially the risk -- that is not a view you share, i take it? michael: i respect him a lot and he is a good friend, but i think just like the takedown of bin laden, that was worthwhile. i think we can take down the isis leader it is critically important. you are taking down a lot of expertise. the hostages, wheeler may have been a part of this, the hostage situation. i argued that we can take on even more and those at the top of the chain and take down their expertise and that is worthwhile. i think we need more of that to defeat isis otherwise we may as well just wash our hands and walk away from the situation. we do so at our own peril to the united states. dave: bill go to martin from "the hill." martin: earlier this year at a hearing, you express concern about the state department effort saying it was possibly creating a federally funded jihadi pipeline into the u.s. i was wondering if you could give an update of sorts, have y

on behalf of the democrat and republican ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff and deputy republican representative tom cole asking boehner to please put this to a vote so the that congress can actually step up. that kind of goes to the question that we have for us tonight in this panel, there's kind of an important quote that i'd like to take out of that letter where they say, each additional day that passes without congress taking up an aum ft. or operations against isil undermines our authority and role in matters of war and peace. if we refuse to debate on the way the nation faces whether to take military action, we creed to the framework intentionally delegated to congress. that's the chief concern that operates hipd the scenes, whether or not we're going to see congressional action on the white house proposal. >> i do have deep concerns about some aspects of the white house proposal and the first one i want to highlight is the definition of associated forces. for the first time, what the white house wants is for congress to codify the notion that we won't

no goal adam schiff of the committee has sent a letter saying we need to have this debate. happy to sign on to this letter? >> guest: we sent a similar a few months ago and then a few months before that. we have done this time and time again. we are a little bit tired of sending letters. one of the things we will probably do because will be on break next week is when we come back offer a privileged resolution under the war powers resolution and try to force a debate and a vote on our involvement right now in iraq and in syria. >> guest: if i could make a quick point. we are spending roughly to do this bomb in the middle east not pocket whether we should or should not about $8 million a day. the american people and those with uniform we have a responsibility and an obligation to both to have this debate. and it makes no sense for this leadership of the house to not let us meet our constitutional responsibility. that is what this is all about and we think this study group really could help them educate our colleagues by bringing in people that know the constitution and speak

take a listen to what democrat adam schiff had to say. >> american boots on the ground. i don't see this as the same kind of a massive occupation or the beginning that have like we had in afghanistan. or have had in iraq in the past as well. but the risks go up the more you conduct these kind of operations, the more you see the potential of being pulled in and the problem with being pulled into this messy civil war, this awful civil war in syria is then you take ownership as colin powell used to say, the pottery barn rule, you break it you bought it. it's already badly broken. i don't know we want to take ownership of this. >> of course, president obama has been insistent he is not going to put u.s. boots on the ground in a combat role. you could see some discussion and debate around that point in the coming days. meanwhile, alex, this is all happening as the broader fight against isis in iraq and syria continues. we were reminded of that this past week with news that ramadi was falling to isis forces. so a big battle going on right now there. it underscores the fact tha

and adam schiff, a top democrat on the house intel committee, also poured a little cold water on the, while sa yaf was a significant figure it is a setback for isis we should be under no illusion about the long-term impacts of any particular operation. this terror group, like al qaeda, has pruchb adepth at e replacing commanders and we need to keep up the pressure on its leadership and financing. and he called for more congressional briefings this week, which will be especially important as this debate over the risk versus the e reward of this mission is evaluated. poppy? >> thank you very much. you're going to want to watch this. this special report on sunday here on cnn. >>> we're keeping a close eye on weather, more on that later this hour. >>> also to presidential politics where jeb bush is in iowa trying to put aside the iraq war discussion that dogged him all week. we'll talk about it, next. and when you bundle your home and auto insurance through progressive, you'll save a bundle!

. >> all right, congressman adam schiff of california.gressman, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> richard haase, you have given us a couple numbers. we got a lot to get to. >> the global report card. >> first of all, overall, the u.s. spends 2% of its bucket on infrastructure. china 9%. india, 8%. ten years ago, we rank fifth if infrastructure in the world. now we rank 24th behind malaysia, oman and a lot of other countries. 4 billion hours wasted by americans every year in traffic. 80 billion wasted in time and gas. $230 billion wasted in car accidents in large part because of faulty infrastructure. you got medical costs, lost production, work place costs, attorneys, et cetera et cetera et cetera. this is no way to run a country. as we move into the age of terror, where they're going to be more home grown attacks here your response to terror to make sure fewer people do you i if terrorist attacks that we know come is having an infrastructure that knows how to withstand that withstand even you know nature like from sand

cook: we had adam schiff p earlier in the week, and he said kudos to our special forces, but concerns about whether it was worth -- worth the risk, especially a risk if it failed. that is not a view you share, i take it? mr. mccaul: i respect him a lot and he is a good friend, but i think just like the takedown of bin laden, that was worthwhile. i think we can take down the isis leader like abu, it is critically important. you are taking down a lot of expertise. you get rid of a lot of expertise. of course, his wife was involved. hostages. a hostage situation. i argue when you take out evil, particularly those at the top that is a worthwhile endeavor, and i think we need to do more of that to defeat isis. otherwise, people will just wash their hands and walk away from the situation. mr. cook: first, we will go to martin from the hill. martin: earlier this year at a hearing, you express concern about the state department efforts, saying it was possibly creating a federally funded jihadi pipeline into the u.s. i was wondering if you could give an update of sorts, have you talk more to t

i have to tell you we just got a statement from representative adam schiff a democrat from californiaoperations like this and the coalition air strikes have helped put pressure on isis but he poured a little cold water on the significance of this raid saying in a statement, quote, while sayyaf was a significant figure it is a serious setback to isis and we should be under no illusions about the long-term impacts of any particular operation. this terror group, like al qaeda, has proven adept at replacing its commanders and we will need to keep up the pressure on its leadership and financing. schiff says he looks forward to having further briefings from the white house this week and i expect that will be one of many questions coming from capitol hill as this debate over risk versus reward about the specific mission starts to be uncovered. >> and this is clearly a risk that the president has the power to take without any kind of congressional approval. however, even the house speaker, john boehner, is also kind of pouring a little cool water on it isn't he? >> that's right, he is. of cou
