. >>> homeland security chairman michael mccall explains why terror threats are so hard to track. >> the new threats that are out there over the internet is very hard to stop. we had 200,000 isis tweets per day in the united states. this is won the director talks about the chatter is so loud and the volume so high that it is a problem that is very hard to stop and disrupt in this country. unfortunately we saw it take place in chattanooga. if it can happen in chattanooga it can happen anywhere any time any place. that's our biggest fear. >> listen to this. disturbing numbers about illegals on the road. more than half of all new driver's licenses issued in california this year more than half have gone to illegal immigrants. anita vogel explains that it is all thanks to a brand new law. >> no doubt the numbers are surprising and will likely outrage some people. like you said more than half of the licenses issued since january. almost 400,000 of the 759,000 issued were p granted to illegal immigrants. that's about 52 percent. when the applicants show up they have to prove their identity

. >> michael mccall is the chairman on homeland security. i'd like you to listen to something he said on friday. >> we've seen too much of this traffic. too many warning signs, the targets are identical to the targets, called by isis to attack. my judgment in my experience is that this was an isis inspired attack. >> i guess the question is are we ever going to be able to catch a guy like this who is operating off the grid. there are reports of his father having appeared on the watch list as as the story is evolving thus far, there's no reason to believe he the shooter in this instance had been on the minds of law enforcement. >> it's impossible in a country of 310 million people to take someone -- i've read some of the reports about this individual fairly devout up until a couple months ago. his wrestling coach had had a great deal of respect for him. those around him, no apparent evidence of his inclination or desire to commit these particular acts. i think we are kidding ourselves if we believe that we could identify all these people in a

the house homeland security committee believes the attack was inspired by isis but congressman michael mccall noted the fbi has not yet reached the same conclusion. we are also learning troubling new details about the gunman. here's nbc's dave wagner.

house homeland security michael mccall says we're arguing semantics and should be going after the guysrpetuating the killings. what did you think of the way he described. >> we need to define the enemy for who they are. you can't defeat an enemy you can't define. that is the reality. they call. thes the islamic state. the caliphate. we call the nazis the nazis and we called the communists the communists. we call them the islamic extremists dish. >> guess what he is saying is what difference would that make? i sound like hillary clinton but what difference it would make, whether we called natz eu sunday nazis or kitchen refrigerators we would have gone after them. their name and what they -- didn't matter, we wanted to kill them. what do you make of that, and that we can call them anything we want. you say it's important why? >> because it is reality. to hide behind this political correctness, the idea that we can't call them who they are we had to take out the war on terror out of the vernacular. we can't say the word islamist because that's too offensive to the islamic community. it's

some lawmakers, however, including michael mccall, who chairs the house committee, they are already convinceduch of this traffic, there are too many warning signs. the calls are identical to isis calls to attack. so in my experience in my opinion this was an isis-inspired attack. >> again, the fbi has not linked this to isis yet. this focuses on their recent travels to jordan. could he have been radicalized there? this woman's son converted to islam after a rocky patch in high school in canada. he said he was going to egypt to study arabic but instead went to join isis. he died fighting in aleppo. one mother's son was recruited by isis. she joins me now, with a former jihadist. i want to start with the travel. there was a big change in personality, a friend said after abdulazeez went to jordan. could a change in travel affect them? >> definitely it could affect what is happening in a person's life. if they're going through troubles in their life they go to a place. they meet somebody who radicalizes them or in their experiences their they may become self-radicalized. >> at this point we don't

congressman michael mccall said terror has struck america. if it can happen in chattanooga, tennessee, it can happen anywhere. >> in my judgment my experience this was an isis inspired attack. i believe yesterday was one those that god throught through. >> this investigation is goeng. mccall sooilcited no evidence tying him to the isis. they said they knew of no isis link. whatever the government's motivation the damage is done. two separate military facilities attacked. four marines killed. and we now anyhow their names. lance corporal wells, skip he was called. staff sergeant david wyatt. sergeant thomas sullivan. he earned two purple hearts only to have his wife stolen here at home. let's get to cnn's justice reporter evan perez. there was the chairman of the house homeland security agency saying they know of no link to isis or any other group. is there a way to hash out what's going on? >> infbi saying not so fast. there's a lot of work left to be done. they do -- are looking at the possibility that this was isis inspired. the obvious cho

house homeland security chair michael mccall, you see him on the screen. he is holding a news conference at macdill air force base on the tennessee shooting. i'm gretchen carlson. we're here to bring you the real story today. white house press secretary josh earn ezest says they're looking into motives. nation's heroes gunned down at two military facilities in tennessee. three others injured. so we're getting now brand-new video from an eye-witness. watch this. [ gun shots ] [ sirens ] >> you could hear the barrage of gunshots. police cars swarmed the area along a highway in chattanooga during the second incident yesterday. here is the latest. authorities say the gunman travelled to jordan last year may have also visited yemen. he had been employed for three months at superior essex, a frank lynn tennessee company. a texas law maker says he plans to introduce a bill allowing troops to carry handguns at military facilities. a news conference with new details on the shooting set for an hour from now. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is here w

according to a bulletin circulated by the house homeland security claire, michael mccall, there have been 28 isis-inspired plots against western targets this year alone. that's an increase of 47% over 2014. the house committee also has been tracking an 80% increase in the number of foreign fighters that are entering syria and iraq to fight for isis. that's now about 22,000 fighters from over 100 countries. our chief foreign correspondent richard engel has been to the turkish-syrian border to assess why isis continues to be such a tough adversary. >> reporter: each week isis seems to be branching out and striking new targets. there was the massacre on a beach in tunisia where an isis-trained gunmen killed 38 people including british tourists. this week violence in egypt's sinai peninsula where isis-linked militants massed in the hundreds and attacked and killed dozens of egyptian troops. the atrocities keep isis in the headlines and fuel the group's social media efforts to recruit outsiders to copy them especially in places that are perceived to be hard to hit, like the united states.

now, congressman michael mccall, the chairman of the house homeland services committee said in floridaing a briefing from the fbi, that they still haven't determined whether it was, in fact directed by an overseas terror group but that his own experience tells him that it's probably isis directed. that would tell me there's nothing the fbi said to dissuade him from that but they say they don't know. the devices he had, electronic devices have being flown up here to the fbi's crime lab in virginia just a short distance from here in washington. and they will go through them very thoroughly to try to see if they can reconstruct the recent communications. without that, so far, they say they don't what his motive was. >> we'll wait to see what new details we'll get with that. and now, pete thanks so much. >> you bet. >> we want to go into what we have just gotten in from cent-com, chairman mccall with an update about what he knows on the situation. let's listen to that. >> i have a lot of emotions about what happened yesterday. this is -- the event we have been most worried about and then i

>> and that's why i sent a letter yesterday along with michael mccall, which is a chairman of the homelandforeign affairs, i talked to the chief deputy on this several times and the day before and also the ambassador of the united nations saying, look, you're not just talking about raising the sanctions that we've discussed in the agreement. you're also talking about the arms embargo on iran that into the 11 hour was put onto russia and iran. we know what our secretary of defense think so about that and our chairman of joint chiefs. they both testified under no conditions should those be raised. so my point is i'm agreeing with you, stuart. should no conditions should web going before the united nations before congress has administrate ability here to have like that hearings, which we are now going to be in reseat on friday. we have a 60 day process, and we do not an end run around congress into the united nations to have this done under un rules. . stuart: congressman, thank you very much indeed for joining us. >> thank you, sir, . stuart: appreciate it. i want to get back to president ob

michael mccall, the homeland security chairman of the house has a bill passed out last week that would create a center for counter in front extremism in the homeland security department. you're probably aware of this. i haven't seen whether you support that or whether you fear is the aclu does that it could target some of the communities and also create more fear that there might be intelligence gathering on that instead of helping that prevent. >> will be made clear on principle is our efforts to counter rather extremism are more site to if we can work with individual communities and the leaders of individual communities across the country to counter this after, to counter the effort to radicalize some vulnerable citizens. the leaders in these communities that have their own vested interest in trying to counter radicalization of hers and we are going to be more effective if we are able to partner with leaders and partner with these communities to try to prevent radical ideology and hateful ideology from inspiring people to carry out acts of violence. that principle has been in place f
