. >> one other guest that spoke today on "state of the union" was senator ron johnson from wisconsin had to do with messaging and he said that isis has this messaging thing down. they are able to say and to show that they are winning in so many ways we need to flip the messaging to be able to show we are winning. what's that gonna require? >> it's a great comment ana, everybody claiming the government doesn't have a strategy against isis. we in fact do have a strategy and touch nothing the various realms of diplomas circumstance information operations economic and military. it seems everyone wants to defer back to the military piece of this because it's the easiest one to look at. but i would suggest we have got to do a whole lot more work on the information element of our national strategy because truthfully there's very few people in charge of that right now and we are hoping to turn the corner on this and what we have learned in the military is hope is not a method. you actually have a plan. you have to have someone come into work every day and actually executing that plan but it'

wisconsin republican senator ron johnson is joining us. as is the former jihadist the counterterrorism operative and author mabin shiakh. what is the greatest threat to the american people of the social media presence of terror groups like isis? >> well it is recruitment probability. sort of the unanimous opinion that this is just a harbinger of things to come. if we finally can defeat isis which by the way, means denying them that territory, destroying that caliphate, that's a huge undertaking there. there are going to be other groups that notice what isis has done to effectively use social media. because now with modern technology individuals that harbor, you know these evil thoughts can find one another and they can travel and meet each other very quickly. so this not a one-off deal here this is going to continue. >> mubin, is this a winnable war, this war on isis the propaganda the social media? because u.s. officials, high-level officials have said to me repeatedly they seem to be much better at it than the u.s. is. >> i think there i

joining me now is senator ron johnson, chairman of the senate homeland security committee, and senator johnson thank you for joining us on this mother's day. >> good morning, jim. >> we appreciate having you here. we talked about the fight with isis and having the wisdom of having u.s. boots on the ground in iraq. today you have isis threatening military bases in the u.s. is the u.s. the new front line in the fight against isis? >> well we're certainly vulnerable and this is all part of isis's strategy and trying to inspire more acts of violence as we saw in texas last sunday. so from my standpoint i think the best strategy that the u.s. could employ to defeat this is to defeat isis in iraq and syria so that the reality actually is conveyed that this is not a winning organization it's a losing organization because, jim, as long as they are not losing as long as they individuals who might be drawn to jihad don't perceive isis as a losing organization they will be perceived as winning and they will continue to inspire this type of jihadists activity and extreme violence here in america.

. >> listen to this sound from senator ron johnson, wisconsin republican talking on "state of the unionm sciutto about the texas attack and how he says it gives the idea to many people that they are winning. listen. >> the best strategy that the u.s. can employ to defeat this is actually defeat isis in iraq and syria so that the reality actually is conveyed that this is not a winning organization it is a losing organization because, jim, as long as they are not losing as long as the -- these individuals who might be drawn to jihad don't perceive isis as a losing organization they will be perceived as winning and they will continue to inspire this type of jihadist activity and extreme violence even here in america. >> and then also tom ridge came out today saying isis today is more of a threat than al qaeda in 2011. are they right? >> i don't agree with that i think they are a significant threat because, again, we face this group that is sending messages to people in the united states by overt means. that is over the internet. you can't follow if you're in a security service, 2 or 3 or 5

and in a senate hearing, terrorist recruitment today, senator ron johnson of wisconsin said there's a perception problem when it comes to how much the u.s. government actually knows about the threat from within the u.s. here he is. >> >> because of the revelations of edward snowden, there seems to be a perception in america that the federal government knows all and we have perfect knowledge and we know exactly whose online. we know exactly who's on these sites and is becoming radicalized. and the members of those communities were actually very surprised that we had no idea. >> well, this week, isis supporters boasted that the group has a number of members in 15 different states around the country. of course, they named five of those states, virginia, maryland, illinois, california, and michigan. i'm joined right now by democratic u.s. congresswoman, shelia jackson lee of texas, who sits on the house committee on homeland security, as well as msnbc terrorism analyst, evan kohlmann. congresswoman, how big a threat is isis when it blasts out these decrees that there are sleeper cells, ev

ron johnson the chairman of the governmental affairs, are you the right man to have this discussion.family first, a special mother's day. >> i tell you what a husband, dad, grandpa, there is no greater title to those. so it doesn't get any better. >> obviously, now you have a grandkid to worry about, a renewed sense of urgency. let's look back first, do you believe the u.s. government lied about bin ladin? >> i met with federal agent flynn. he is pushed out of office because he was complaining internally how this administration shut down the analysis of the treasure trophy of the -- trove gained in that event. the reason they shut down the analysis of it according to general dplin is they didn't like the results. it wasn't confirming their narrative is al qaeda was decimated on the run so general flynn. we need to pay attention, i can't believe this hasn't gotten more publicity, said this foreign policy is basically being predicated on willful ignorance. that's a serious charge from a serious individual. i don't believe that. we saw pictures of the downed helicopters. will is too muc

host: i want to go back to what she told senator ron johnson that famous exchange that took place backshe was stepping down from the state department, and basically saying, what difference does it make? before we hear that, has that resonated among committee members? is that something that they continue to go back to? guest: certainly that dismissive attitude has colored the way the committee handles hillary clinton at this point. it highlights what they say they have been dealing with for years which is that the agency has been secretive, it is not forthcoming about documents, we do not know everything, and hillary is avoiding the question. the private e-mails, her reluctance to pass that over has highlighted the frustration that the committee has faced. host: again, the attack took place on september 11, 2012, just a few weeks before the presidential election, and in january 2 thousand 13, this was secretary of state hillary clinton.

orrin hatch, steve daines, rob portman, angus king, rand paul jeanne shenshaheen kelly ayotte and ron johnson just to name a few. i didn't have to sacrifice my conservative values but did have to admit anyone can have a good idea. just because we disagree on one thing doesn't mean we have to belittle people. i told my wife several years ago when i came into the house of representatives i had the deja vu moment thinking i felt this way before but i'd never been in congress but i know this feeling. after six months i called her and said i finally figured out what this feeling is to be in congress. it's the emotion in middle school lunch. it's that feeling of i get more popular by sitting at my table and making none of everyone else at everyone else's table. and if i ever say something nice my table says why would you do that a? if i say something unkind, everybody says way to go. welcome to congress. only we can turn this around. we will strongly disagree on areas but we should find the areas of common ground where we don't have to sacrifice our values and be able to find ways to work together.
