will have a hear on the ideology of ice is, joining me is hasan hasan coauthor of new york times best seller, isis, inside the army of terror. hasan, you before that senate committee on tuesday. what are you going to tell those senators that they don't already know about isis? >> well, the ideology of ice is is quite complicated. many people have spoken about it. but i think i will try to convey kind of how the ideology plays out on the ground in syria and iraq. rather than just what book they read and basically what inspires this group. and how this group recruits people. i have spoken to dozens of isis members. i asked them about what books they read, what kind of-- what clerics they follow and how they view things. so you know, i try-- like pass on a sense of how that works on the ground. >> and cia director john brennan said last week that there is no direct link between isis and the orlando shooter. but does this orlando attack mean that the war in isis is heading in a new direction? >> absolutely. i think there is a the war against isis is at, of course, a cross roads. the it has weakened on the ground, militarily. st not do

of texas, fort hood, nadal hasan, the obama administration knew that nadal hasan had been in communication with a radical islamic cleric. the obama administration knew that hasan had appeared al-alaki about the permissibility of waging jihad against his fellow soldiers. all of that was known beforehand, and yet they did nothing. they did nothing, and on that fateful day, nadal hasan murdered 14 immigrant souls, yelling "aluha akbar" as he pulled the trigger. and yet, just to underscore the blindness of this administration, even after the terror attack, the administration insisted on characterizing that terror attack as -- quote -- workplace violence. that is nothing short of delusion, and it's a delusion that cost 14 lives. if we know of a u.s. service member who is communicating with a radical islamic. the cleric and asking about waging jihad against his fellow soldiers, m.p.'s should show up at that individual's door within minutes. and if we didn't have an administration that plunged its head in the sand like an ostrich and refused to acknowledge radical islamic terrorism, nadal hasan would have been stopped before he carried out that horrific act of terror

in 2009 army major nadal hasan who had been in contact with an war allalwaki killed 13 soldier centers texas. the f.b.i. had run two investigations of hasan but was accused of failing to connect the dots before that shooting. in the mateen investigation, the f.b.i. is promising a review to determine if something should have been done differently. >> our work is very challenging. we are looking for need unless a nationwide haystack, but we're also called on to figure out day become needles. >> reporter: federal law enforcement sources say they have few opportunities to spot and stop lone wolves. scott, even when they get the intelligence they feel they need to build a case, often the first amendment limits what they can do. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom. jeff, thank you. well, orlando became part of the presidential campaign today. and here's nancy cordes. >> the only reason the killer was in america in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here. >> reporter: speaking in new hampshire, donald trump argued the nation's very survival hinges on banning muslim immigrants. >> if we don't get tough and if

i didn't say it, hasan, i don't way, they said it, ok. it's not that simple, hasan. we just go on with our lives because it didn't affect our status quo. the sad reality is, stuff like this is going to continue to happen unless we recognize civil liberties are an all-or-nothing game. a rising tide lifts all boats. it's not pick or choose. it or not,you like we all have to step up and fight for each other, otherwise the thing is a sham. that, memberso bem the trans community will demonized for using the bathroom and my brothers and sisters in the african american community, their spines will be shattered wagonsback of paddy until we stand up and say something and the thing that i wish ithe most is, would have done most. to my brothers and sisters in the lgbt community and every marginalized community, i'm more.i didn't do for congress.oes we look to you guys as our leaders. you make almost $200,000 a year rules, to make our notety better, not tweet, tell us about your thoughts and prayers -- to write rules to make our society better. and ultimately it comes down to mo

when the army knew that nadal hasan had been talking to and e-mailing with anwar al awlaki, is there a hesitance to be branded a bigot? >> knowing what i know about the hasangree with you. i think the army backed away from this for want of a better word, political correctness. they didn't want to bite off another issue. we are all sensitive about religious liberty. in that case, i'm with you. i think we clearly did not do some things that we should have done. >> we don't want to paint with a broad brush, the 1.5 billion throughout the world. obviously if they are extremists, that's a whole different thing. does law enforcement have the tools it needs? does the taxpayers give enough money, are there enough men and women on the ground? >> right now, the bureau is under resourced to handle those cases that you and i discussed, thousands and tens of thousands and what do you do after you've let someone go, saying he's not a danger at this time if you had more resources, you might be able to check in every now and again. number one, the bureau probably needs more resources if we want them to do this. and that's a separate question. beyond that, the bureau proba

hasan. the obama administration was aware he was communicating with a non-radical islamic terrorist. the obama administration was aware that nidal hasan had inquired the permissibility of waging jihads against his fellow soldiers. and yet, the administration did not act and walked through fort hood in my home state of texas murdering 14 and a sent souls. do you think it was a mistake not to respond to those red flags ahead of time and prevent a terrorist attack afford it? >> i disagree with your factual predicate. >> what you disagree with? what specifically? >> in one minute i couldn't possibly answer your question. >> it was wrong in a number of respects. >> pick one thing. >> first of all, you are assuming that the federal government in advance of the attack on fort hood saw these different red flags. that is not correct. >> so are you testifying to this committee, let's take the fax i introduced one piece at a time. you are an experienced attorney number one. true or false the obama administration knew before that nidal hasan with communicating? >> how are you defining the obama administration? >> a federal drug investigation. >> i can answer that question sitting here. >> the answer is yes but attend public record. let's take another example. we have similar examples of red flags. russia can find the united states they were affiliated radical islamic terrorism. the department of homeland security mess with the tsarnaev brothers were missed when there was a posting at the tsarnaev brothers calling for jihads instead of pressure cookers murdering three people and wounding roughly 180. was it a mistake not to respond more effectively to those red flags and prevent the act of radical islamic terrorists? >> i do believe that there is some lessons learned from the episode and i believe that as a result we are doing a better job of connecting the right dots. >> mr. secretary, my time has expired, so this'll be my final question. my concern of this pattern failing to connect the dots keeps occurring over and over

hasan attempted to contact al qaeda and exchange numerous e-mails with the terrorist anwar al awlaki. a self professing soldier of allah hasan worried many colleagues with promotion of extreme or radical interpretation of islam. for fear of being branded as politically incorrect or otherwise they did nothing. then after the fact the obama administration classified these terrorist killings as mere work place violence. in january of 2010 the department of defense issued a report entitled protecting the force, the lessons from fort hood. the report did not mention hasan by name nor did it use the terms islam or jihad. i would like nothing more than to speak with a government official about these bizarre decisions and omissions about the pattern that has characterized seven years of the obama administration especially in light of the most recent terror attack in orlando by a radicalized man interviewed three times by the fbi and yet terror attack was not prevented. this subcommittee invited two such witnesses, john carline, assistant attorney general for department of justice's national security division and executive assistant director for fbi's national security range. both members of the obama administration have refused to appear before this senate hearing. three months after fort hood in february 2010 the homeland security review made zero references to islam, radical or otherwise. again, this subcommittee would have appreciated speaking with government officials about this deliberate omission. again, they have refused to appear to testify. in 20
