joining us no studio is republican congressman mike mccall of texas, the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. mr. chairman, good to see you. thank you so much. congratulations on the new post. >> thank you. >> ukrainians received generous support from the u.s. under the democratic controlled congress, congress under republican control. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene who has kevin mccarthy's ear suggestions there is a group of like-minded republicans that feel that way. can ukrainians count on the republican congress to keep funding the ukrainian military so they can defeat russia? >> the answer is yes. i think what she wants and others and oversight accountability. where is the money going to? they'd like to see audits. right now, we have three inspector generals looking at the funding going into ukraine but the fact is we cannot give up this fight. you see what's at stake here. the war crimes that are taking place as we speak are horrific. i intend to call the inspector prosecutor general to testify for my committee about these war crimes because when the american pe

i'm honored to be here with my good friend, foreign affairs committee chairman mike mccall. we may be of different parties but we find common ground and we work together especially on issues regarding human rights. and i'm happy to be here with doctor, we appreciate your commitment to these issues. the past several years i've cochaired the human rights commission in the house of representatives i hope to have that honor again in the 118 congress. in that capacity i can tell you the right to freedom to thought, conscience and religion is one of the rights with most often taken up in hearings and briefings because the right to practice religion of choice so frequently violated by governments all over the world. some examples that have come to mind are well known, uighur and tibetan by china, muslims in india, christians in egypt, muslims in burma. he is 80s in iraq. she is number of muslims and countries, jews in france, i could go on and on and on. the list is way too long as a practicing catholic myself, i know how important and personal the right to freedom of religion is.

you know, the new incoming chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, mike mccall, it's been very critical of germany for not doing more. and i think that kevin mccarthy, the new speaker of the house, who right now is still on board with ukraine funding. but he sent signals that he believes that europe is not carrying its own weight. germany is not carrying its own weight on this. and that you can kind of see that evolving like, why is the us doing so much and europe doing so little when it's on the edge of things. so what are the domestic fault lines from your perspective inside germany and inside europe? i know this is part of what the munich security conference is going to struggle with for sure. so 1st of all, i would say the observation coming from us friends and colleagues that europe and germany in particular ought to be doing more to support ukraine. that's fair enough because it isn't our neighborhood. key of housing longer is where i'm sitting here and i'm so it's fair enough for the west to expect europe in germany to be pulling its way the domestic fall line. i think t

. >> mike mccall. maybe sometime soon i'll call you congressman again. right now you're mike. thanks for being with us. >>> next, i'll speak with the former chief of the capitol police as we approach the second anniversary of the horrible day. who does he blame for the deadly assault on american democracy? stay with us. like #4 supreme meats. black forest ham and genoa salami. you can't stop that much meat. you can only hope toto contain it - in freshly baked bread. try subway's tasastiest menu upgrade yet.

mike mccall, foreign affairs, main line conservative, mike rogers, armed services.st of them, jordan is a wild card. most fit the definition of mainstream conservative let's see. but comer said today we're not just investigating hunter biden, we're investigating joe biden. do they have the discipline to follow facts as opposed to follow politics? >> i was just chuckling because two of their names are mike or -- three are mike or michael, two are james or jim. so they all have almost the same names. but there's going to be a lot of pressure on these republican chairmen to go where the base wants them to go. where the trump, where the manage wing of the party wants them to go. >> forgive me for interrupting, but that's dangerous because the base thinks donald trump won the west last election, and he did not. >> right. >> there's legitimate oversight of hunter biden, legitimate oversight of the border, legitimate oversight of government spending, of course there is. the question is can they stay in the lane of fact. >> what's interesting is some republicans have said t

attorneys, former officer, to talk about what went down, what comes next, and we've got republican mike mccallmocrat adam smith to talk about the case that you guys mentioned, general who said we're going to be potentially fighting with china in 2025. was that taken out of context, what does it mean, these guys are foreign policy experts, we'll talk about that. ukraine, the tanks that we're sending that may not get there for a year. we'll talk the documents and all kinds of 2024 business, plus a senator so new i and so young, she's still mistaken for a staffer. what it's like to be a freshman over there. will: all right, shannon, we'll be watching. thank you so much. pete: 2 p.m. today on the fox news channel. will: you guys know, we've been talking about it for the past week or so, world economic forum is taking places many davos, switzerland, and out of that a lot of laughs, a lot of things to watch and mock. but also to be vealed about the way they -- revealed about the way they view the world, us and the future if they can have it by design. rachel: or how they view themselves. take a look

republican congressman mike mccall did tell fox he agrees with the general's assessment. >> i hope he's wrong as well. i think he's right though. we have to be prepared for this. and it could happen, i think as long as biden is in office, projecting weakness as did he with afghanistan that led to putin invading ukraine that the odds are very high we could see a conflict with china and taiwan and the endo pacific. >> joining us now is the cnn's chief correspondent and anchor jim sciutto. you've been speaking to military officials. what was the reaction? this memo is pretty bombastic and blunt in what his view of what could happen is. >> well, there is a difference between a gut sense and a official assessment of u.s. intelligence, the department of defense. senior u.s. defense official said to me definitively that these comments are not representative of the department's view on china. now to be clear, the department, members of congress of both parties are concerned about the possibility of conflict with china in the coming years. but there is no hard data, hard intelligence to predict

mike mccall. tony gonzalez down in texas who has expressed reside vacations and said he's going to vote against rules. there's a national security for the rules changes, and today is going to be telling. there are responsible republicans out there. the question is will they speak up today? >> will they speak up. they need to speak up. i mean, this is so extraordinarily dangerous. as you said, they're going to actually, these people want to target america's intel community. while we should be trying to target chinese spies that are trying to infiltrate washington, that are trying to infiltrate silicon valley, that are trying to infiltrate board rooms of our biggest corporations, our russian spies. it's just complete madness that it's happening, and michael steele, again, you go back to the cold war, and, my god, i campaigned and most conservatives i know campaigned about the excesses of what we thought were the excesses of the church commission. having a committee that went after our intel communit

from the house foreign affairs cody, mike mccall saying he is glad the german government will agree tonsfer of its tanks, no excuse for the month-long delay here. marjorie taylor green with this tweet, the congresswoman saying why aren't you calling for tanks at america's southern border while the countries invaded every day and americans are being murdered in record numbers by fentanyl and the cartels, serve the american people who pay for tanks and salaries, not president zelenskyy. one more from the republican of kentucky, we look weaker, as these tanks litter ukrainian fields and they are not coming back so that is 31 fewer tanks to defend the united states. some of the reaction on twitter on republicans, here's one more from republican tom cotton, senator from arkansas on fox news yesterday. >> president biden and germany decided to provide these tanks to ukraine but it is long overdue and continues a pattern since before the war started of president biden being scared of his own shadow, declining military support the ukrainian army needs first to deter the war from starting in th

host: senator mike mccall from sunday.his is jen saying the answer to mass shootings is simple, sue the gun and ammo makers. it is all about the money. mark is saying outlaw high-capacity magazines. three shots for ducks and five for big game. that would save lives, the 20 and 30 round magazines are too much. chris in illinois saying i support cross jurisdictional background checks, mandatory training. a ban on extended magazines. steve in south carolina saying if the gun owner identifies as a republican, you can remove the action and you have the same gun. the problem is attachable high-capacity magazines. they will tell you what they want the same power a home intruder might have. you can text us at (202) 748-8003. let's hear from mike in maryland, independent line. caller: i would like to offer a more extreme solution to this extreme problem, because i think it is time for that. at the -- i feel like the mass murderers have no fear of dying. after all of the court and it doesn't seem to deter it. i think if you were to

house of representatives of foreign affairs, michael mccall, and the chairman of the committee of the house of representatives of the armed forces, mike more and more people join such statements a- and the republicans, will this have a significant impact on joseph biden and will the united states then act even more aggressively? look at the republican party. there is a split in the republican party. how are we? they are hawks from the old days who really want maximum assistance to ukraine, regardless of such threats, that is, well, regardless of the threat of a lower escalation. the senate has a tampa wing that has repeatedly stated that they do not want to supply ukraine with a penny, and there were even statements about something not in support of putin. but they are few and far between. they have a disproportionate influence on the number of representatives today, the house of representatives is in this sense dependent on them, not only at a point from the point of view of ukraine, but in principle they blackmailed the speaker when you elected and they turned out to be very strong it will be necessary to allocate to ukraine, if the

threat but it seems like a slow in coming and as you know mike gallagher, congressman avoided in the house a new china committee and michael t mccallho is determid of the foreign relations committee now in the house, i know these are the top of the concerns and certainly in the intelligence community, that i sit on in the senate and we have been focusing on china for a while now and certainly we are in a race to develop some of the most advanced technologies in the world with a i or quantum computing, but things which threaten to undermine our ability to defend ourselves and see them as an aggressor to ask of the current framework for the u.s. policies toward taiwan is really spelled out in the taiwan relations act which was passed over for decades ago and has been translated into something strategic ambiguity with respect for what we do in conflict were to break out in taiwan and there is been more motivate over the last two years or so, whether the united states position of strategic clarity an issue that something closer to an alliance like a guarantee that it would come to taiwan eightee if it wee attacked and do you have a vie
