with that question and more we welcome in the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee texas republican congressman michael mccaul. mr. chairman, thanks for the time. you know, that question posed by scott pelley on "60 minutes" and the answer received by the president really raised some eyebrows i'm told in the foreign policy and intelligence community. what was your thoughts when you heard it and what can you tell us about it. >> i don't understand this attempt to down play iran's role and sweep fund the rug. iran is behind all of this. their fingerprints are all over. this iran provides $150 million per year to hamas and weapon systems that they use to kill innocent civilians in israel. of course they are behind this. all their proxies, hamas is a proxy of iran. hezbollah is a proxy of iran. and the iran-backed she a militias in iraq and elsewhere are all backed by iran. so, the idea that they are somehow not behind this really defies common sense. what i don't want to see is more funding. today i'm introducing my bill to freeze those $6 billion of assets through sanctions so that we don't fund more of this terror that iran is funding across the middle east. >> bret: yeah. let alone the billions of dollars from oil sales that iran has because of loosened sanctions. but, you know, we have the "new york times," "the washington post," the "wall street journal," all with reporting that iran was intrick cattily involved in the planning. reuters has this story out, hamas, iran leaders agree to continue cooperation after attack on israel during their meeting in qatar's capital doha. praised the rampage as historic victory that had department a setback to israel's occupation of palestinian territory. not to dwell on this, but you think the administration is somehow soft peddling this to avoid talking about its own iran policy? >> you know, i don't know what else to think about it other than they desperately want this nuclear weapons agreement with iran, but the fact is they are behind this. and, in fact, the president of iran said that if israel invades gaza that iran will have to take action. what does that mean? we don't know exactly. we think the proxies will light up including hezbollah. bret, this is the nightmare scenario that we have always been briefed on in the national security space is if you many a southern front with hamas and then a northern front with hezbollah. remember, hezbollah is the a team here they are much better than hamas. they have 100,000 rockets. and precision guided weapons that could overload the entire iron dome in israel that is the fear factor. so far we have been able to keep them out of this fight but if they get into it, it is going to light up the middle east in many ways and to your point about american soldiers, it will call into question of the united states to defend israel and to stop this? whether a do you think the extent of the ready warning more to do with american hostages possibly or on standby for some kind of action with israel? >> i think it's two things. one special operators. look, in 2004, in new jersey, we had to go house-to-house and liberty hostages and kill terrorists. and that's exactly what we're very good at that. and so we're training the israelis how to go house to house including the hostage rescue team from the fbi. but it also has the impact of deterrence. and i think that's important. very important when it comes to iran and hezbollah. as they see, you know, this aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean surrounded by all these battle ships in the united states. they know we are serious about taking action, if necessary to stop a greater conflict. the key here is to contain and not have an escalation. we don't want hezbollah into this. we don't want iran any more into this than they already are. and, you know, my committee does the authorizations of use of military force. i don't want to be passing that out of my committee with this conflict. >> bret: well, as we look at a map, i want to put a map up of gaza and the escape routes and the israelis are telling the palestinians inside gaza to get down from that upper red part in the north down to the south, you know, possibly a ground operation begins some time in coming days, hours, we don't know. but that one crossing at the south on -- along the southern border with egypt. the rafah border crossing is so far closed off. i mean, what do you tell people? are there diplomatic talks about that? egypt is worried about who is coming across that border, a unique thought process, wondering who is coming across the border they are stopping people at that border. what's the latest with that? >> hamas is responsible for most of this, if not all of it. you are absolutely right. we don't want to see 1 million innocent civilians trapped. so i just got off the phone with the ambassador from qatar, i have talked to egypt, the saudis want to play a role in this in terms of financing to get some of these -- have a release valve if you will out of gaza to a safer place where they can be protected from hamas but also as israel begins its second phase going in. the israeli military plan is, number one, they have gone after the top hamas leaders. they have been very successful at command and control. number two is going to be a blockade in southern gaza to block hamas from coming down to use these civilians as shields, if you will, that they can then use against the israeli army. so, this is -- it's very dangerous right now. we don't want to see innocent civilians killed. >> bret: i only have a few seconds here, mr. chairman. but i want you to take off this chairman hat and put on the chairman that you used to be of the homeland security committee. we're getting ready to do a story about the domestic threats and you would say that they are real for us, whoever has already gotten through our southern border. >> right. we have had seven million encounters at the southern border. we know that hundreds have been on the terror watch list. you know, when i was chairman of homeland security committee just a handful of those only 19 hijackers that took downtown world trade center. i cannot ever get an assurance of the administration that we haven't let this get in. in fact, there was an isis, you know, basically organizer that was getting in, uzbekistan into the united states of america. it doesn't take very many to cause a lot of destruction. and we know the border is wide open and that is why this policy is so dangerous. >> bret: mr. chairman, we appreciate your time. would love to have you back. >> thanks, bret. for having me. >> bret: as the fbi director warns of the threat of lone actors inspired by the events in the middle east. a young muslim boy is stabbed to death here in this country. we value live report, next. >> the targeting of a community because of their faith is totally unacceptable. >> he paid the price for the atmosphere of haterash dehumanization. can feel like an intense burning sensation ♪. er, ♪. and get up to $300 off. with verizon business. it's your business. it's your verizon. ♪ >> bret: an illinois man is charged with a hate crime tonight. he is accused of fatally stabbing a 6-year-old muslim boy and seriously injuring his mother. correspondent garrett tenney is in chicago tonight with the latest. good evening, garrett. >> bret, good evening. officials are describing this attack of nothing short of evil. police say 71-year-old joseph knocked on the door of his tenant and attacked her and choking her and stabbing the young mother more than a dozen times with a 12-inch military style knife and brutally killing her 6-year-old son who was buried today while she remained in the hospital recovery. >> a 71-year-old man signatures on top of a 6-year-old kid stabbing him more than 26 times. you tell me what type of man he can do that. >> investigators say zuba who has no criminal record targeted the family because they were muslim and he was upset about what is happening in israel. this weekend, the fbi director christopher wray repeatedly warned of a surge in domestic threats against muslim and jewish communities. there is no question increase of reported threats and got to be on the lookout especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own. >> even before this latest inquiry hate crimes against jews in america were at their highest point in almost three decades. crime data released by the fbi today shows more than 1100 anti-jewish crimes last year. up more than 36% from the year before. with tensions running high, officials across the country are stepping up security at mosques, synagogues and religious schools and asking the public to be on the lookout and report anything suspicious. bret?

well our key ally in the middle east has now suffered the worst attack that they have experienced on the jewish people since the holocaust. so, i think there is a critique to be leflted there. one that is worth focusing on and there is always this talk in the wake of a disaster of security or intelligence. now is not the time to point fingers. now is not the time to ask questions about these things. we need to deal with the problem at hand. we do. those questions deserve to be answered. they deserve to be asked. and i hope we can reach a point where we actually get the firm connection that we deserve to understand about what role iran played in this. >> bret: kimberley, i think another big question what this looks like once israel is in there, say the street-to-street fighting, the building to building happens. they get in there and take out hamas leadership and they are there in gaza and then what happened? you know, i think there are a lot of questions marks around that. >> there is a question mark whether the administration can deter iran to do more encouraging hezbollah. the president was great in that interview saying they had israel's back going in, what happens once is he there? that's going to be the real test of this administration's commitment to israel. my guess they really don't want to stay there never. they want to get hamas out. but if they feel they have to for security for israel, then will the u.s. stick with them? >> bret: okay. panel, stick around if you would. returns after a quick break. we will talk about other things today and, later, golf therapy for our nation's heroes. ♪ ♪ my active psoriatic arthritis can make me feel like i'm losing my rhythm. with skyrizi to treat my skin and joints, i'm getting into my groove. ♪(uplifting music)♪ along with significantly clearer skin... skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms. with skyrizi 90% clearer skin and less joint pain are possible. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. thanks to skyrizi, there's nothing like clearer skin and better movement... and that means everything. ♪nothing is everything♪ now's the time to ask your doctor about skyrizi. learn how abbvie could help you save. ♪ >> how did your meetings go this weekend? >> very good. very good. >> my focus is to get jim jordan elected speaker, get this congress back moving again. >> i guess one thing that kevin mccarthy and i agree on jim jordan is going to be the next speaker of the house. >> it's going to be hard for some of these moderate republicans to sell jim jordan to their constituency. he has got to have 217. without that we are going to have to find another candidate. >> bret: so will they find another candidate? will jim jordan be the guy? the vote is tomorrow. we're back with the panel. jeff, that has been quite something. back and forth. steve scalise pug out. jordan trying to send a dear colleague letter to all of his republican colleagues and also making phone calls over the weekend. >> and also making clear in that clip that you played earlier bret that the house can't get anything done wore israel or anything else without a speaker. so it's clear that it's not just outside criticism. it's not just the look of this being not particularly favorable for republicans it's also just the fact that it means they can't put their money where their mouth is as it were when it comes to doing what they want and what the congress wants to do to support israel along with the other priorities that the party and that the lawmakers have. >> bret: yeah, kimberley, there is going to be a vote tomorrow, some time afternoon. and then they will know if he gets to the 217, which it's not expected, our math head counter chad pergram says he is a little short, whether it's 10 or 5, still short. and the question is what the pressure looks like for those who vote against them. >> a lot going on, too. who have absolutely nothing to do with jim jordan, all right? there is some people understandably in the caucus who are still very unhappy what happened to kevin mccarthy they feel to nominate and vote for someone that is on the righter side of the conference would somehow reward the matt gaetz's et cetera in the worlds there are some people, for instance, that are in biden districts that they might want to first vote come out and just show at least on a vote, on a recorded vote that maybe they weren't initially up for jim jordan but they are happy to vote for him down the road. some of these things take a while to sort out. you just have to remember every single one of those casting a vote has their own political situation they are dealing with. that's all playing in this, too, with a very narrow margin. >> bret: it's interesting. we are talking about israeli funding and how this relates to the middle east. bebb but there is the question of ukraine funding and whether there is a supporter in jim jordan or bringing to the floor those things that some of the moderates and obviously the democrats care about. >> look, it's the ancient vulcan project only jim jordan can fund the government. that's really what we are experiencing right now. he is the only one with the level of trust from the right that will allow this government to remain funded and deal with all of these different issues. the endorsement from mike rogers today, which i personally think kevin mccarthy had something to do with, is very significant. and i think it puts jim jordan closest of anyone in this conference potentially to the speakership is incredible rise for the man in short sleeves from ohio who went from being a key player in the john boehner vacating back in the day to on the cusp of a speakership tonight. >> bret: that's another question. does he put on a jacket? we don't know. panel, thanks so much. ♪ >> bret: finally tonight, a special day. >> yes, yes.
