back in april, homeland security committee chairman mike mccall said the same thing.he president, is he going to gamble with the lives of americans and defy what his own intelligence people are saying? >> sean, this has been a very difficult weekend for me because it brings back september 11th, all the terrible memories i have of it and the thought then, when president bush, you know, acted so decisively and so quickly that maybe something like this wouldn't happen again. and the reality is this did not have to happen, if our policies were different. if president obama had listened to senator mccain and senator graham and a whole group of other people and had set up a no-fly zone in syria five years ago, if we had gone in and we had worked with the syrian legitimate rebels, if we had not taken our troops out of iraq and afghanistan, isis never would have emerged. isis is filling a vacuum created by a vacuous foreign policy. president obama -- this is an -- obama -- isis is an obama creation. this would not have happened. just follow me for a second. if we had 50,000 o

joining me now to discuss is a republican congressman mike mccall, the chairman of the house homelandttee. mr. chairman, thank you as always for joining me. i do know that you received a classified briefing last night, and you cannot obviously give us the details but on the issue of the mastermind, how confident are you at this point that this man, abdelhamid abaaoud, is the mastermind behind the paris attacks? >> i feel very confident. he was flagged back last january. a plot was disrupted. he escaped arrest. we believe he did go to syria. this is not like what we seen, this radicalization over the internet of a one-two man operation, a guy with a knife. in is a highly sophisticated external operation driven out of headquarters, raqqah, syria, that involved eight individuals. but also a conspiracy that could be as wide as 20 individuals. that's the difference between this case and prior ones. the fact that isis is demonstrating this new capability to not only pull off a plot this coordinated and sophisticated, but as russians acknowledged to bring down a russian airliner with a bomb.

with us today, the chairman of the house homeland security committee mike mccall. house intelligence ranking democrat, congressman adam schiff. senate armed services chairman john mccain and senator lindsey graham. good day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington as we continue to follow this rapidly developing story. we have our team in place. kyra simmons is in london outside number ten downing street where al sisi and prime minister cameron spoke a short time ago. tom costello is here in washington and greg feith, former ntsb investigator joining from new york. first to london. what are we hearing from the prime minister? >> reporter: well, the prime minister came out of that meeting with the president of egypt, a meeting which was a coincidence that it happened at this time, and said that they were working to try to resolve the situation with egypt, to get the many, many british people, 20,000 who are in sharm el-sheikh back to britain and one assumes at some stage to try to get flights resumed. the president of egypt said that he was fully understanding so real dip

joining me from austin, texas, is house homeland security committee chairman mike mccall.here. >> good evening, bret. >> let's start with specific threats to the u.s. in the u.s. or abroad. >> we do not have any specific or credible threats to the united states, but i would argue that the pierce attack was very sophisticated, very preplanned, coordinated attack. we had virtually no warnings about that either. so you don't know what you don't know. i'll tell you what i do know about what's happening in the united states is over the last year, we've arrested over 70 isis followers in the united states. that's more than one per week. we have active investigations in all 50 states and 900 cases taking place as i speak. this is a foreign fighter threat. the person who traveled to the region, who traveled in syria and iraq and go back to europe or possibly the united states. there are 5,000 of these foreign fighters now currently in europe that has a visa waiver countries. we've had hundreds of americans travel to the region and 50 of those have come back to the united states. s

. >> reporter: congressman mike mccall doesn't appear to fully agree, he says religiously oppressed minorities, meaning christians, should receive priority over the 95% of syrians who are muslim. >> i think we should live up to the standard. >> reporter: it will require the fbi and homeland security to certify all refugees are not a security threat. supporters consider it common sense, opponents say the bill would end the refugee program. >> it was not on the schedule for the republican governors but now front and center. if efforts in congress fail to halt the program, they can do it using existing law which requires local aid agencies and nonprofits to cooperate with the states and if they fail to do that, they can be shut down. lou: william la jeunesse reporting from las vegas at the republican governor's association. >>> republican presidential candidates aren't holding back. president obama attacked them today. >> you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, in turkey, in foreign countries. i encourage you, mr. president, insult me to my face. let's have a debate on syrian refugees righ

the chairman of the house homeland security committee mike mccall says the tsa is looking at enhancing screening at hot spot airports overseas. >> i talked to secretary johnson. he is looking at tsa procedures overseas. i think it is important to tell the american people that any flight coming outside the united states, a direct flight into the u.s., would go through a more heightened security procedure than what is in egypt. >> the chairman notes that beefing up security overseas requires the cooperation of the host country. >>> big changes coming to the republican presidential debate stage. some candidates pushed off the main stage. others not allowed to participate at all. we are breaking it down next. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? starting now with roc® retinol. holiday season. it's up to two times stronger than imitators. try roc® retinol correxion® night cream... after 1 week, fine lines appear to fade, 1

take a listen to congressman mike mccall about how we got to this point. >> when you project weaknessoughout the world and you have a failed foreign policy, this is what you get. and now we have chaos in the middle east, we have isis taking over iraq, syria and northern africa, egypt. now we have the russians in there, and it's presented a very complicated strategy moving forward in terms of protecting the american people. >> reporter: it's important, though, to keep in mind we are far from the intelligence community having anything close to conclusive information or proof about what brought down metrojet 9268, patti ann, and if it was a bomb, proving who is responsible for it. patti ann: yeah. all right, leland vittert live in washington, thank you. ♪ ♪ jon: well, the political winds could be shifting in the wake of tuesday's republican presidential debate. most analysts now predict the coming showdown between senators ted cruz and marco rubio. with rubio being called the candidate to watch and cruz gaining the support of the more conservative base. be here is senator be cruz during

philu take a listen to what representative mike mccall said earlier today. >> mr.ou know whether investigators may be closer to finding abdeslam? do they have a sense whether he's still in europe or made his way to syria? >> i can't get into that level of specificity. i don't want to compromise our investigation. i do think they're closing in on him. that's the good news. there are many involved with this plot. a very sophisticated plot and external operation that we see from isis. you mentioned the bombing of the russian airliner. this is a new isis, a new ch chapter for them to conduct -- >> he's the chairman of the house homeland security committee. when you listen to him and he says the new isis, phillip mudd, what does that look like? partly off the cuff, partly sophisticated. >> you got to think where we were a month or two ago poppy. they were saying look, wherever you are in place, you can conduct an operation. we might not train or fund you, but we support what you do. then we learned over the past, i don't know, month to six months going back to the opera

especially he had he should be heeding caution from people like mike mccall, from homeland security sayingwe're lacking the wherewithall to do this in an effective way. why not take a pause? on the flip side there's so much to lose if you're wrong. >> your thoughts on his different demeanor towards the gop and isis? >> what bothers me is he's saying that republicans are shameful. and there are now democrats saying can we just take a moment here, sir. because we just want to be sure that we're responding to our constituents. and that we're being cautious and smart. i think it's actually shameful is the fact that he's calling out people, as his moral inferiors, when it is actually his own belief in his self-esteem that makes him think he's so much better than everyone else. where weias he three years ago when allowed assad to go from a protest to a civil war. where was he when all of thia zeal zei zeidi iyazidias were being kidnapped. the refugee crisis was going to explode, they did nothing and now he has the gal to say that he's so much better than all of us because he wants to let in to t

i want to start by playing a sound bite from earlier on "fox news sunday," mike mccall, the chair of house homeland security committee about whether or not this was a bomb. here is what he had to say. >> high degree of confidence that it was. it has been my gut all along as we looked at the facts that the region itself, the fact that they want to hit the russians, and i must say, chris, this is a new chapter for isis. >> so if it turns out this was a bomb planted by isis on a commercial airliner, how has the game changed? >> i think we always have been wary of this kind of explosive device on commercial aviation. it is just the first time we have seen it taken to its tragic conclusion. i think it reminds us once again, it is a global scourge, now the russians are potential targets. we obviously know they had some challenges with the extremists, jihadists in the caucuses and around chechnya, now this as the congressman said takes it to a new level. not so much the explosive device, if forensics confirms it, which everybody certainly believes was the incident, caused the incident, now

congressman mike mccall will be with us, the house homeland security chairman. and then, at the end. we talk to senator ran paul, republican presidential candidatement also have new pole numbers from the battlegrounds tracker pole about where things stand in the republican field, some movement there. and then, nicole, finally, we ends with two panels today, one with experts talking about isis, and the terrorism threat, and then political panel to wrap up the political news of the week. >> always lots to cover, john john we look forward to the broadcast, still to come. chilly weekends, justin says much colder air on the way. forecast coming up next. plus, turkey tips, maybe you've already purchased your thanksgiving feast, but we'll have some advice from an expert about cooking the bird. and speaking of birds, hope they don't get cooked today. right? preview of the match up with the buccaneers ahead in sports. i think our floor director liked that one. we'll be right back. thioh my god. friday. does anybody want to be part of this? nooooo. well, chevy has a bette

. >> bill: mike mccall has been saying he thinks it was an inside job.tough to stop if you think about that. when we reflect on our security at home, how will we deal with that? >> he is right to be concerned. if it is an inside job it is not the only agent on the inside. if you look at egypt in general terms you mind be worried about isis coming from north of sinai but they could have been hired from the national institutions and some egyptian experts have said they are not sure if this is direct isis or isis penetrating another group and that complicates everything. the numbers could be much larger of who have infiltrated the system. >> bill: isis did claim responsibility. i don't know if it has been upheld by western governments yet. but they did not offer details. why not? >> well, that is a good question. and probably this would reinforce the theory this is an infiltration. isis claiming they know about the operation. they are not willing to give detail because this is not suicide bombing. the guy is not dead. they don't want to expose the person wh

on the sunday shows yesterday, homeland security chairman mike mccall was on "face the nation."it from that interview. >> just following up on these dark spaces. there is any evidence that encryption was used? just a supposition, right, or have you seen any evidence that suggests these encrypted communities actually were used in the paris attack? >> i think there is strong indicators they did, and that's precisely what nothing was picked up. there were some warnings about a general plot underway with nothing specific. these guys were talking to each other on their iphones, sim cards. they were talking in the dark space. and that's how they pulled it off without detection. and that's going to be the real challenge in the homeland. we know they're talking from raqqa to people in paris and belgium, but also in the united states. we have caught communications where they talked to people in new york, and d.c., and quite frankly, everywhere. >> host: asking our viewers to join in the discussion. talking to patrick tucker. if you have question's comment. >> chairman mccall talking abou
