Proposals, it was also a chance for the white house to roll out new social media tools. ahead of the speech, the white house officially joined the video messaging service snap chat. i m kind of stumbling because i can t believe i have to say video messaging service. you know snap chat. and today they re holding their third annual big block of cheese day. that s what you re looking at now. inspired by the show the west wing, which is why you re seeing all the west wing actors, it s an event and opportunity for americans to ask questions to senior administration officials. it s called the big block of cheese day. so it s expired some bad puns. like, excited? so are brie. we got to at least laugh at the puns. i love a good bad pun myself. so i appreciate it. so for those of us, we all kind of know what snap chat is, but the white house joining snap chat, those messages that ....
There s a political shaming around political figures and the best is jeb bush s chief technology officer who was announced as the c. t t.o on monday and resigned on tuesday after deleting old tweets. i think we live in a society where nothing is private anymore. if you re going to be using especially public social media tools, you have to understand that your words might be used against you and that people will take those and try to extend them to your employer. that s why employers are very defensive. if you re a politician especially you can t have someone who you just hired saying things that are sexist or racist on twitter or facebook because it s going to extend to your campaign and there will be opponents who say this must be the views of you as a candidate. i think unfortunately there s a line that s now being crossed because there s a new blood sport that s emerged as well for especially public figures. i think that s what happened to trevor noah. i think people are combing t ....
Conversation around. we keep saying what is it about the people who join isis what s wrong with them are they poor or disenfranchised. what is it about what isis is doing that s effective in recruiting people that are seemingly so normal? how does this grab somebody out of an upper middle class home in london? again, there s not one answer. but that brutality that we find so difficult to understand, it is almost like a counterculture. it is almost like if you feel sort of alienated, the most outrageous thing that you can do in this country and in european countries is to go there and to do that. we were talking earlier about sort of the social media tools that isis used to recruit its followers. how ubiquitous are they on social media and what kind of tools are counterterrorism efforts bringing to the fight? the interesting thing is of course isis is on the internet. but what makes isis so powerful what gives it such an umf on ....
Isis are, knowing exactly who al qaeda is and joining them. it wasn t like pre-9/11 maybe with some other ideas? exactly. and they were recruited using social media tools. they have their own bubbles in social media. they are communicating with each other. now the situation in iraq is a little bit different. yes, there are some foreign fighters, especially from tunisia and from england and stuff like that. and both in syria and in iraq fighting with isis. but the situation in iraq is more complicated, because isis was able to build the strength in the sunni areas because of the sectarian policies of al maliki government. right. most of the sunnis feel they are not involved in the political process. and the very first thing that need to be done in iraq today is to bring them to the fold. bring them to the presence of iraq and make them feel that they are part of the future of iraq. and that can only be done with the change of leadership in iraq? absolutely. i mean, maliki is ....
Control whose security forces are actually beginning take the fight to isis, to those who are fighting alongside isis rather than the image portrayed thus far of an army that abandoned weapons. whether that s happening or not we ll see. you said that the threat from these foreign fighters is unlike any jihad threat that the united states and western europe faced. how so? now in the situation between iraq and syria, we have 12,000 foreign fighters, most from about 81 different countries. unlike other jihad wars that happened before, most of these people went knowing exactly who isis are, knowing exactly who al qaeda affiliates not like someone went to afghanistan pre9/11 with some other idea. exactly and recruited using social media tools, they have their own bubbles in social heed media. the situation in iraq is different there are foreign ....
