turn to the house homeland security committee republican mike mccaul. he joins us from austin. mr. chairman, after hearing from spokesman for the jordanian government this morning, do you believe this administration, the obama administration is taking this threat seriously enough? >> not enough, they never have. they won't even define the enemy for what it is, radical islamist extremisms. the airstrikes have limited success, not policy to degrade. destroy the enemy. if anything the jordanian pilot will now galvanize i hope the arab nations to fight isis including on the ground, we heard in your segment piece earlier they say it's our fight also the united states fight because we don't want them to attack us here on the homeland security. i think that under u.s. leadership if we can galvanize these arab nation, sunni arabs against sunni extremist, isis in syria that would be the ideal. i think there's no ground force in syria, as you heard in your reporting the airstrikes are not sufficient to date to take care of and take out isis right now. >> schieffer: let me just ask you this,

mike mccaul, mr. chairman thanks very much. can you really destroy isis without a significant ground presence of combat troops? >> no. and i think that's a failure of the administration's policy right now. policy of containment rather than to degrade and destroy. you also need a ground force. that's the remaining question mark is where is that ground force going to come from. i personally think given what happened with the jordanian pilot, i hope to see the sunni arab nation standing up along with turkey. they hate assad and they don't like isis either. i think they're in a unique position to help us out. the president is really the problem here there. he's sitting on the muslim brotherhood and doesn't want to upset them. >> turkey is a nato ally. they're right on the border with syria. you've seen no willingness on their part to get involved more directly. >> precisely, the most they've given us is cover from the air to fly over turkey. i think the administration should be engaging more with turry. i think it's in the region's

>> reporter: jon, the chairman mccaul said we are talking about brutal terrorist armies. >> they are barbarrians and i think that the barbarrians are at the gate and we want to keep them outside of the gate of the united states. i'm concerned that some have already returned. we know that there are 50,000 isis strong and we know that foreign fighters have gone from 15 to 20000. >> reporter: the homeland security hearing dealt with preventing terror travel and home grown terrorism. mccaul said 5000 foreign fighters have western passports and hundreds of americans have travelled to the region to fight with isis. the top official dug into the numbers. >> our united states and allies are concerned with the 20000 foreign fighters we assessed travelled to syria from over 90 different countries of origin. bee assess 3400 are from western countries and that number includes over 150 u.s. persons either travelled to the conflict zone or attempted to do so. >> following the horrific videotape murder of the jordanian pilot there was concern about slick and brutal propaganda attracting the recruit

. >> here is reaction from michael mccaul mccaul. >> i think islamist is the correct word. they are taking an agenda and advancing it for their benefit. we have to say this is a terrorist movement to spread this hatred of ideas. to ignore that fact is not being very honest with the american people. >> so the white house is still refusing to identify this as an islamic threat. first, harris bring us the news. this is the first time we are seeing a specific threat to the homeland with the mall of america. >> and homeland security officials are urging shoppers and have been doing so since yesterday, to be "careful" when visiting the mall of america. that was one of two malls named in a 75 minute video named by the group who is an al-qaeda spin off that took credit for the kenyan mall siege that lasted and killed people. the west edmonton mall in canada is the largest mall in north america and also listed with the mall of america. and jay johnson, homeland secretary, says there is enhanced security at the mall of america and public must be vigilant and cautious. he calls this a

good morning, chairman mccaul, ranking member thompson, members of the committee. thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the dynamic threat of foreign fighters traveling in support of the islamic state of iraq, commonly known as isil. and the continued threat to the united states posed by home-grown violent extremists. these threats remain among the highest priorities for the fbi, and the intelligence community as a whole. however, it is a blending of the home-grown violent extremism with foreign fighter ideology which is today's latest adaptation of the threat. conflicts in syria and iraq are currently the most attractive overseas theaters for western-based extremists who want to engage in violence. we estimate upwards of 150 americans have traveled or attempted to travel to syria to join extremist groups. while this number is small in comparison to the number of european travelers we must also consider the influence groups like isil have on individuals located in the united states who are inspired to commit acts of violence. it is thi

joining us now is house homeland security chairman congressman michael mccaul with us. congressman, apparently the president now wants to increase the number of syrian refugees coming into america. this is the home of isis. how do we know that the people we let in are not sympathetic towards or even a part of this group? >> well, we don't know that. this is a very dangerous and reckless policy in my judgment. i held a -- chaired an oversight hearing with fbi, with homeland security, with the national counterterrorism center. they all three witnesses stated that this would pose a greater risk to americans if we bring in these refugees from syria that have not be properly vetted. and the fbi admitted they don't have the databases to properly vet these refugees. i was actually over there, sean, and the jordanian minister of interior told me he doesn't know who these people are. so why in the world -- you know, we're working hard to keep these foreign fighters out of the united states. why in the world we have a federally sanctioned government program to bring thousands of

mccaul: let me thank my colleague from arizona. your great leadership is welcome, we have the first female who was a pilot it's great to have you here. when i go home, the number one question i get is when are you going to secure that border? i believe we have an opportunity in this congress to get this thing done and get it done the right way and the smart way. people say why is it so important? in 10 years in congress and as a federal prosecutor prior to that dealing with this issue, i've seen the scourge of drug cartels, human trafficking, poisoning our kids with drugs, and the potential threat of a terrorist attack in the united states. i don't want that on this congress' head. and we do have an opportunity to act. we have a bill that was passed out of committee, i think it does several things. one, it finally directs tells the department of homeland security how to get this mission done. sector by sector. as the gentlelady knows, arizona is very different from san diego and very different from texas where we saw 60,000 childre

mccaul of mr. graham and frankly countless other republicans in the senate and some in the house to do the responsible thing and let this house work its will on the single subject of our national security. if a clean homeland security appropriation bill were to come to the floor, i am confident -- and i tell my friend, the majority leader, mr. speaker every democrat will vote for it. we're 188 strong. surely there are 30 responsible republicans who care more about our national security than their politics who would join us in voting for that bill. i'm confident of that. many more, i think than 30, but at least 30 would be needed with 188 to get to the 218. and we would fund the department of homeland security and we could do it tomorrow. we could probably do it today by unanimous consent. well, no, i don't think we could do it by unanimous consent because there's some that continue to play politics with our national security. if the majority is dissatisfied with our immigration policy which they ar

it probably as much as anybody, this whole idea of -- there is kind of a notion and you heard mike mccaulinistration just not taking this seriously enough. >> that the world is on fire, enough fires going on to make that legitimate perception to go with. the administration is trying to not be buffeted by these series of individual crises and basically claiming that they're not linked. the the administration came out with national security strategy, about a year ago there was this big storm president obama was criticizing about hillary clinton saying his strategy, don't do stupid stuff. or maybe different word than stuff. was how he said it privately. this is actually articulation of that, call for strategic patience basically look, we can't be everywhere, we've got to just have detachment on this. the problem with that not just our enemies but our allies, detachment as indifference, and lack of will power obama he clearly gets drawn in, every instance of late to the conclusion that force is what matters not just diplomacy and engagement. hillary clinton will have big problem reconciling t

homeland security committee chairman michael mccaul will reportedly blame the syrian war for creatingrgest convergence of islamic terrorists in world history." >>> so a group of hackers reportedly linked to isis has struck once again. for about 15 minutes yesterday morning, a group known as the cyber caliphate took control of "newsweek's" twitter account. the group posted a photo of a masked man as well as the term "je su isis." the hackers also tweeted threatening messages toward president obama and his family and they praised cyber jihad. this is the same group that claimed responsibility for hacking u.s. central command earlier this year. "newsweek" says it is working on tougher security measures. it was not the only company to be hacked yesterday. the "international business times" reported that the same group appeared to have hacked its computer system and posted similar messages using a reporter's byline. >>> the u.s. will be closing its embassy in yemen. this is just a sign of how unstable that country has become once again. security becoming unpredictable in the country, where

bill: we'll talk to michael mccaul. he says the president may be mission the point.cyclones. locals calling it a cyclone sandwich. bill: police did not have to go far to find the man they wanted in the las vegas road range case. >> he treated my wife like an animal and my son. there was an and mall a block away. help northern china reduce its reliance on coal fire heating plants and prevent 60 million tons of co2 emissions? when emerson takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved. emerson. >>> breaking news. another snag for health care.gov. 800,000 americans are reported using the website received the wrong tax information. meaning millions will have to wait longer to file or receive their tax return. 50,000 already filled and may have to refile. obama is asking those americans to delay the filing. we are working for more information and when we get it you will get it here. >>> the u.s. is preparing to help iraq and prepare major military offense to retake the northern city of mosul from isis. some military analyst say they s

reports from the region and we'll turn to the chairman of the house homeland security committee michael mccaul. former cia official michael he morell and former obama national security advisor tom donilon. then he'll turn to the sudden rise in measles in america. we'll talk about that with anthony fauci of the national institutes of health and our own dr. jon lapook.

matt mccaul. scottie and hitha are with us. we have to dig into the first real, real deal.e have to bring in the big guns. listen, it finally happened. not that the market is up, but that it actually had a day. it came out of the gate. held on to the gains. gained strength in the afternoon. the session got the first boost from greece. a lot of people think something might happen there. then, of course, we started to really get higher. by the way, greece no longer talking about the nazis owing them money. so that's good. we started to get higher. the ten-year -- i think that's important. earnings pretty good. starwood had a great number. leading the way. bottom, top line, spin off the business. win wood had a good business. (?) coke beat on the top and bottom line. volume was pretty good. made the comments that this was a turnaround year for them. we heard it before, but we bought it today. a trifecta of hacking news. the cyber security stocks through the roof. the white house said they'll set up a cyber security department. a lot of moving parts. i want to get your take ove

and matt mccaul founder and president of penn financials group. huge, huge day. got me tongue-tied.et's dig into the first real, real deal. the market got a lift from geopolitical news. it wasn't the greece news we were looking for. it wasn't greece who came to the consensus. maybe vladimir putin now, whether you believe this whole orchestrated cease-fire will hold or not, i think it was a pleasant valentine's day gift to humanity. for a moment, it looked like all those happy feelings were going to fade, well, the retail sales number was just an absolute bust. at least on the headline, minus eight tenths. ex-autos minus nine tenths. can you believe it? there's something inside the news though, there's something else going on. these headlines belie all the great stuff we hear about jobs. confidence at a ten-year high. something doesn't connects. i see money is being spent in other parts of the economy. building spending up almost 7%. sporting goods, 8%. places we go and hang out, 11%. furniture, 5.5%. health and personal care almost 7%. nonstore retailers 8.3%. gasoline stations down

to include our chairman, chairman mccaul, i really appreciated your willingness to come see firsthand and listen to the ranchers and border residents. we've got men and women in uniform in our communities what thank are doing the best they can. but -- that are doing the best they can, but the strategy they've been given in our sector is just not working. they need better tools and need a better strategy so that we can use intelligence-driven operations we can use technology where it works, we have have barriers where they work. but ideally we need to be detecting the illegal activity of the cartels well south, so that we're able to then monitor and either deter the breaches or intercept them as soon as possible when they come over the border. so some of the additions that i added into the bill were to create a rapid reaction force so they can quickly intercept and directing the border patrol to be patrolling at border to the max extent possible. right now there's a multi-layering approach in these areas. it's called a defense in depth strategy. it relies on taking stimets what they sa

last week, mike mccaul had a bill that was going to be put up for a vote.t at the last-minute. they believe it was because the blizzard. most people believe because there wasn't agreement in the party. it was to provide more equipment and border control. some conservatives in the party didn't think it went far enough like asylum seekers and catch and release. so the republicans pulled the bill because they feared they had a conservative revolt brewing. they can't even decide within their own party on a consensus approach to secure the border. neil: i'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. i can't blame them for bringing a little chagrin here. the president has already promised ten vetoes even as they've -- but giving the president ten different bills on a host of subjects. and the president said i'm going to veto it. what's to embolden them to come up with an immigration bill if no matter what they do, the president seems to be saying, no no, no. >> that's the big problem with many in the republican party, in the house and senate. they don't trust

>> reporter: it is lead by the house homeland security chairman michael mccaul.k at the hearing. mccaul is saying going into it, groups like isil and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula are surging. he says the threat to the homeland has reached highest level since 9/11 and there is very grave concern that people watching the horrific videos such as the brutal murder of the jordanian pilot could radicalize people here at home and overseas. there is a very key focus on capitol hill about terrorism isis, and of course national security, bill. bill: thank you, mike. we'll check back in with you often today. mike emanuel from capitol hill. martha. martha: we're just learning president obama is expected to speak later today at the white house. he will talk about his request to congress for new war powers. this as the president who came to office to end the wars in iraq and afghanistan now finds himself 13 years later in the position of asking congress for more money for war. and he will do that at 3:30 eastern time in the roosevelt room. we will bring you that live as s

matt mccaul founder of penn financials. a couple of home runs just from yesterday. let's it do, guys. a lot of stuff to do. let's dig into the first real, real deal. those of little faith, consider this, we're not talking about being up 500 points in two days. we're talking about 500 points since 3 o'clock since yesterday. a remarkable rebound. a pent up demand for stocks. how much money has been made buying these bottoms, these quick v-shaped bottoms. why have the markets struggled? what's going on particularly coming into this year? i say it's a deliberate shake-out. i discussed it a lot. it's one of those things that helps people that aren't confident in the market, gets them out of the market. the volatility is going crazy. we've seen it worse. but a lot of people who have just gotten back into the market haven't seen volatility like this. it's easy to spook this emout othem out of this. matt: it is easy. the market is down. 25% of those stocks are down 5% or more. they're trying to to rotate and they're overtrading, i think. the market stays within a range for

and someone who served to me as a great adviser in the white house, and before coming back, mike mccaul. it's great to be here at stanford university. and i'm pleased to be joined by members of my team who bleed cardinal red. we're infiltrated with stanford people. we have our senior adviser, national security adviser susan rice secretary of commerce. and i like stanford red. i notice she is around here who helped lead our energy department for a while. yms always pleased to be joined by other members of the cabinet our secretary of homeland security jayeh johnson is here and maria contreras. and i want to acknowledge my prior homeland security adviser who continues to help shape our security. so i always heard about this campus and everybody riding bikes and people hopping into the fountains. and the current holder of the ax. this is a place that made nerd cool. i was thinking about wearing black rimmed glasses and taping them but i guess that's not how they do it anymore. they told me if i came to stanford he would talk dirty y nerdy to me. as we gather here today, america's seen incr

of course, matt mccaul founder and president of penn financials group.e's sort of the everyday man. what is that? matt: sidekick. charles: let's do it. the first real, real deal. stocks, we opened mixed. the blue chips were lower. nasdaq higher right out the gate. led by apple which all of a sudden is on automatic pilot again. there were the greece worries and anxiety ahead of that inventory report. that came out as well. now, the greek issue remains -- we're hearing scuttlebutts. scottie on top of that. crude oil, we saw a build there. 4.9 million barrels. they were saying 3.4. i don't know who does these estimates. i thought there should have been a higher estimate. matt, oil was down. the focus seemed to be on leadership in the market. and it felt like smartphone was out there buying weakness today. matt: i do. the s& s&p 500 for me today, confirmation closing again above that. 2064. extremely bullish. sell-off. we were able to come back from that. we're poised to move higher. the greek evident is up 8%. greek is nonissue for me short-term. long-term,

lou: house homeland security chairman michael mccaul says that is simply nonsense. >> i've been over there, and i've seen them. most of them are women and children, but there are male actors that concern me. i think this would be a huge mistake if we bring in these refugees into the united states, that could potentially be radicalized and then we have -- we're not only trying to keep these guys the foreign fighters out, but under this would be a federally sanctioned welcome party if you will to potential terrorists in the united states. lou: incredible, and incredibly, bit of a side bar, if i may, those in charge of protect our southern border are told they don't have to arrest illegal immigrants driving drunk. that's according to a newly obtained department of homeland security memorandum that informs customs and border protection agents in tucson, arizona, they have three choices if they encounter suspected illegal immigrant, drunk drivers, one detain them at the request of local law enforcement. two, detain them without the involvement of another agency. or three, simply let them

and, of course, matt mccaul. guys, a lot to go through. let's dig into the first real, real deal.ow, the futures were already under pressure this morning. they slipped after that adp report came out. employment was less than people thought. it was the lowest since august. nevertheless, the market tug-of-war, back and forth, it was on the cusp of a major move, right around 340. it was going through the roof. then, of course, it started to trip and go down big time. wedding this game of chicken between greece and its lenders. here's the good news, it's getting closer to the edge of the cliff one way or another. we may get some resolution. the ecb says we won't take greece or vermont as collateral. oil took a hit on inventory levels. they came in twice as high as the consensus which i thought was stupid. i don't know who the heck is putting together the estimates in the first place. what do you make of this session, neil? >> nothing has changed. it's a traders market. but the investor is going to end up being the winner at the end. the market started down 2.8%. then back down to 2.6%

here now with reaction is the house homeland security chairman and united states congressman michael mccaul, author of 88 days to kandahar. and foreign and domestic author and retired brigadier general tony tata is with us. guys, good to see all. before we get to this, i want to get back to an admonition a warning that came from george w. bush. this was back in 2007 of exactly what would happen if we pulled out of iraq too early. >> begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region and for the united states. it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda. it'd mean that we'd be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allowed the terrorist to establish a safe haven in iraq to replace the one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean increasing the probability that american troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. >> congressman everything he said there was 100% correct. one year ago the president was saying they're the jayvee team. he sat back and did no

of course, matt mccaul with the matching tie. founder of penn financials. it was a huge, huge week.ven though the markets were up a lot, we had to -- again, today was a perfect example. we had a seesaw where we're trying to find our footing. even today, at one point, the markets were trading. the oil rig count came out. another bad week for the oil patch. ninety-eight rigs removed. huge move in the oil patch. oil started coming down. the major indices started coming down. for a small moment we were in the red. just like yesterday, the market got stronger headed into the closing bell. it's even more impressive today because we're headed into a three-weekend. this market is poised for a much, much bigger move. paul, what do you make of the session? >> well, i think you have to -- investors have to distinguish between the underlying economy and the stock market. the underlying economy is doing quite well. we've had a million jobs in the last -- created in the last few months. earnings are good. europe is seeming to come back. china and asia is starting to pick up. charles: you know, i

michael mccaul said arab countries may have finally been galvanized to fight isis. here he is with some optimism. >> i believe the air strikes have been limited, had limited success. it's a policy of containment, not a policy to degrade and destroy the enemy. i think if anything the lighting on fire of this jordanian pilot will now galvanize, i hope, the arab nations to fight isis. i think that under u.s. leadership if we could galvanize the arab nations, arabs against sunni extremists, isis in syria, that would be the ideal. >> most americans, including me, the way we look at isis, is u.s. interest and whether any americans are getting executed in horrific ways, whatever ways they choose to execute our people after humiliating. even if day reduce the territory by a fifth as the secretary of state said yesterday, that doesn't stop their ability to just stage these horrific executions, does it? >> no, that's a really important point. and i think clearly we are better off now than we were the day we started launching the strikes. isis is weaker. they've lost people. t

i would like to thank chairman mccaul and ranking mbe thomp rnmber rice, congressman hudson and other bipartisan co-sponsors of the billor joining me in introducing this legislation. and for their strong support in getting this legislation to the floor today. i urge my colleagues to support the bill and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from new york. miss rice: mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 720, the gerardo hernandez airport security act of 2015, and yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. miss rice: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, the bill before us today is named in honor of officer gerardo hernandez, a transportation security agency officer who was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty on november 1 twirt, at los angeles international airport. officer hernandez was the first t.s.a. employee ever to be killed in the line of duty and this bill that bears his name seeks to better prepare ou

congressman michael mccaul, the republican chairman of the house homeland security committee said in a statement, quote, the administration has not taken the threat from violent islamist extremism seriously. they won't even call the threat what it is. david and liz. >> peter barnes, thank you very much. david: thank you, peter. what you think happened during the financial crisis may be wrong. that is according to our next guest of the he will explain why he believes it could happen again because we're targeting the wrong cause. liz: plus the battle over alibaba, buy, sell, some big hedge fund managers, like george soros making huge bets on the stock while others are going the opposite direction. who's right? david: i love these ones. thinking about saving for college, a lot of people think about five 29s, that was big in the news a couple weeks ago but there are other ways to save you may be missing out on. we have details how you can do it coming up right here. ♪ when the moment's spontaneous, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to

and much more now with the chairman of the house homeland security committee congressman michael mccaul. mr. chairman, great to have you here. >> thank you. >> at this point when you hear from the secretary of homeland security, are you aware of any credible threats against mall of america or any other u.s. malls? what are you hearing? >> we don't have specific and credible threats. you always hear that. i agree with the secretary that it is a concern. any time an al qaeda affiliate like al shabab pronounces to attack the west and in specific shopping malls, i think that certainly should get our attention. again, there's no specific threat out there. obviously somalia, a lot of s e some -- somalians have gone over there. this is a concern in terms of the threat itself. the type of attack that we saw at west gate shopping mall in somalia that killed so many, that's the attack i've been concerned about for quite some time because of the damage it could do to the american psyche but also our economy. >> chairman, when you hear the secretary of homeland security say if you're going to the m

in stark mentioned the chairman of the homeland security committee, michael mccaul. here is a statement from him saying assaults from cyber jihadist will become more common unless it ministration developed a strategy for properly responding to these cyberattacks, including those like north korea attacking sony. without some rules of the game for offensive responses, cyber threats and intrusions will continue and escalate. the numbers are on the screen. while the wait for the calls to come in, let me show you what defense secretary nominee ashton carter had to say last week at his confirmation hearing. he was asked by senator deb fischer, republican of nebraska about his views. here's what he had to say. [video clip] >> we need to improve our defenses, but we also need to improve our ability to respond. those responses can be in cyberspace or other ways, but certainly, they should include the option to respond in cyberspace. >> and the option to respond would you say that would include demonstrating the capability to do so? is that part of our deterrence when it comes
