congressman schiff: it's certainly possible. the terrorist organization, they are trying to distance in themselves from al qaeda the moment. and if you want to associate themselves with isis. if isis becomes a stateless terror organization and if it's diminished, it's possible in the future they could reunite with al qaeda. it does underscore what a few merits of this agreement. we'll see how long it lasts. i am deeply skeptical. the day after isis is defeated, will the number one threat becomes al qaeda in my syria. in many ways, that's a difficult foe. it's more indigenous than isis. al qaeda in syria is more syrian. it's much more difficult to uproot you that maybe the most consequential thing we're going to interact with it. i do think we will be confronting both in that region as well as places like yemen, afghanistan, elsewhere al qaeda in some areas and isis in others. they are going from of the leading to al qaeda and they may go back isis. they follow the money. i think we can expect that to continue. susan: can you giv

after ourk conversation with adam schiff. kind of a historical question, how dangerous is it for this country and this waning presidency when the uncertainty of the election and if the president is losing his leverage in congress, is this an opportunity we are aware of? congressman schiff: this reminds me of the time in 2008 when we were in the middle of the financial crisis and the bush administration was very nervous about imposing a big new policy. we went several months without any new policy on housing. i think we entering a similar space now. they have this new agreement with russia on syria. the russia hacking incident, is the u.s. being cautious in how it responds because there's going to be a new president soon? you don't want to tie the hands of the next commander-in-chief. mightnclear how russia escalate things. he was urging the white house to name russia as a starting point at least. it was interesting how he talked about the concerns the white house of the president might look like he is putting his hand on the

joining us, congressman adam schiff. to insure provocative actions from north korea are met with, quote, serious consequences. what sort of actions right now should the u.s. and its allies be considering against north korea? >> we're going to be exploring, i'm sure, ways to intensify u.s. and economic sanctions international sanctions against north korea. but china provides an economic lifeline to north korea. and really, we're going to have to press upon china the need to cut off that lifeline, as long as north korea continues to flout the international community. >> what more can we do on that issue? this is obviously the fifth time and now appears to be a stronger test than in the past, beyond pushing china, we witnessed president obama coming back from a trip that i think we could agree had mixed results in terms of the reception from some of those in asian. how do we better advance this effort? >> you know, peter, i think there's really only one area of real leverage we have with china on this. and that is we're goi

adam schiff of california. thank you for joining us. >> so hillary clinton clearly had a good night last night at the debate. she clearly also did not deliver a knockout punch. why? >> well, i think it is hard to have a knockout punch in these days that. trump is a reality tv performer. that is his medium. i think the expectations for him were altogether too low but nonetheless, he didn't even meet those expectations. but still, that is the environment in which he is the most comfortable. eigh i think a knockout is hard to do but i think the emotion from last night will then secretary to go forward and continuing to be damaging to donald trump. he did not appear presidential. he didn't neat threshold. he displayed as he was bragging about his temperament, a lack of temperament. a lack of grasp of the issues and secretary clinton showed her command. and i think those impressions will stay. not a knockout punch but nonetheless, i think that voter attitudes will begin to gel. >> did she move the needle with voters

with me now is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, california congressman adam schiffngressman, just very quickly, hillary clinton said those comments were "totally inappropriate and undisciplined." how do you cast in language based on what you hear privately what you make of what donald trump said publicly last night? >> well, i think secretary clinton was being very diplomatic. i think what donald trump had to say the pure bologna. i've been to probably hundreds of intelligence briefings over the last decade. i've never had intelligence officials disagree with the commander-in-chief, express policy disagreements. that's not their job. that's not what they do. in fact, they're quite ruthless in not making policy prescripti prescriptions, this is what our intelligence shows, this is what we anticipate, this is what we think of the motive and intentions of our adversaries and one thing else that was clear from trump's comments is that he obviously didn't learn anything this briefing and certainly not about russia, praising putin over our president, what has happened to

. >> joining me, democratic congressman adam schiff.our understanding of the republican position on this, of donald trump's position, in terms of a lifting of sequester once we get into 2017? >> well, i think you put your finger on it. what trump is proposing is not doing away with sequester. only doing away with sequester as it affected defense spending but not any defense spending. that's a nonstarter in the congress. that's been the position of the current gop congress. what distinguishes trump from the gop is that he opposes any form of entitlement reform. he wants a massive tax cut. wants to build a multibillion-dollar wall and has offered no information about how he's going to pay for any of this. that's the big question. this isn't really so much a policy proposal as a political position. he hasn't really told us anything about how he would pay for it. >> yeah, i would stipulate the math is -- that you're outlining is almost certainly correct. a large increase in border enforcement and military spending. a trillion dollars in tax

ranking member of the house intelligence committee adam schiff.ate your efforts on the fact-finding front the tone on the campaign trail on both sides was ratcheted up immediately before all the facts were even known to the police departments in new york and new jersey? >> it does. i mean, i think it's very worrying when you hear in particular a number of the statements coming out of donald trump. we heard obviously some of the statements about the disdain for providing medical treatment for this attacker. but what was even of greater concern to me, frankly, this week is the fact that when the united states accidentally bombed the syrian troops, the russians jumped in to say that we did it deliberately, that in fact we're behind isis, and it was really a perfect echo of what donald trump was saying when he was saying that the president founded isis, and it just played into that russian narrative, the narrative the syrians are saying, so these statements the candidates make, and in particular, donald trump has been making, can be deeply damaging to

schiff: i rise today to urge the republican majority to act immediately on the administration's request for emergency funds to combat the zika virus epidemic. it is shameful we waited seven months to act while the threat grows more and more apparent. this majority is failing the most basic function of government to protect its people. in the united states and territories as many as 14,000 locally acquired cases have already been reported and at least 1,600 pregnant women have been infected putting their babies at risk for devastating birth defects. every week we fail to act, more children and families will suffer the consequences. let's heed the call of public health experts to launch a campaign against the zika virus and pass a funding bill immediately. i thank you and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman is recognized for ne minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise todd
