the president said yesterday because of the possibility that this is a terrorist attack the. and the president summoned his national security adviser, his top counter terrorism adviser, his attorney general, the director of the fbi, and the deputy director of homeland security to the oval office yesterday to get an update about what exactly transpired and to make sure they understand how determi determined he is to get to the bottom of exactly what transpired. and that's exactly what the fbi and law enforcement officials, and intelligence officials, and others are doing. they are using the significant resources of the united states government the use as much as they can about what transpired. the president is getting regular updates as recently as this morning, but it is the responsibility of the

investigators the make information public when they have concluded that it wouldn't harm the unvestigation to do so. >> josh, i want to ask you about a stunning scene that played out on live television a few moments before we came out here in which reporters and television crews broadcasting live were permitted into the home of the killers and al loued to broadcast all kinds of passports, photos, i.d. cards that were left in there. since the fbi is as you said running this investigation, and the landlord said that it was handed back to him by authorities, does the white house think that is an appropriate decision by the fbi to have that happen? >> well, this ongoing investigation is led by the fbi and in close coordination with law enforcement, and for decisions about the investigation i defer you the local or federal law enforcement. >> and does the white house has

complete confidence in the way that the investigation is being carried snout. >> yes, there are resources to be dedicated to the learning about the shooters, the foreign travel, the foreign contacts, the use of the social media, and potential motives, and that work is well under way. >> was there any reaction from either the president or from officials here at the white house who are closely following this investigation at seeing that level of detail of things that appeared to be sensitive made public in that fashion? >> i didn't speak to the president about this, and i saw some the footage on television, but, just watching it like the rest of you. >> and the president going to be meeting today with some gun control advocates, and what this is is the message going to be to them in terms of what they can expect from the administration in further efforts to stop gun

violence? >> well, it is ongoing dialogue for those who share a passion with the president who have a sense to make it harder for those with bad intention to get their hands on guns. this is obviously important work that the administration is quite focused on and the administration has worked closely with the outside groups to amplify the call of people across the country so that people of congress can be responsive to chose public priorities. unfortunately, it has not had the intended effect, and in fact, we saw just yesterday that republicans stood up once again with the nra and in the face of common sense to vote down a a measure that would close the loophole and background check, and currently individuals can purchase firearms over the internet, and at a gun show without going through the background check.

this is not make any sense if we are actually committed to make it harder for individuals that are are criminals, that are the subject of a court order or have men al tall prob lernlgs documented mental problems, and we should not make it so easy for them to get a gun. we can do that without undermining the basic rights of law abiding americans, but once again, the republicans blocked that effort. the republicans also blocked the evident to make it illegal for people who are on the no-fly list from buying a gun. again, it is a simple question. why are on earth do we think it is a good idea for somebody a that the government thinks is too dangerous to board a plane be allowed the buy a gun? it does not make any sense, but once again, the republicans blocked legislation that the would make it legal. so we have obviously got some additional work to do. >> thanks. >> all right.

roberta? >> is the white house concerned at all that days after this shooting, the apartment where the suspected shooters lived was not secured? >> well, again, for how and whether that specific location was secured, i'd rerefer you to the fbi and local law enforcement. >> and so to put a finer point on it is the white house concerned about reporters walking through that scene? >> we are focused on getting to the botful to what transpire and conduct the thorough investigation to allows to learn as much as we can about the individuals who carried out the terrible act and their potential motivation, and frankly to learn what we can to try to prevent something like this from ever happening again. and that is what we are focused on. and that is what you would have to ask the local law enforcement

and fbi if what happened today is going to impact their investigation. >> but you are not prepared to say at this point if the white house is concerned at a all about this? >> well, as far as any impact of the investigation, i refer you the the investigators. >> how worried should americans be just to take a step back a second about the risk of copycats and self-radicalized people in the country? and the president mentioned it yesterday, it is important for the people to be vigilant. i think that people can be vigilant knowing that the united states government and particularly going back to 9/11 has been intent on securing the homeland and the american peo e people. a & the aftermath of 9/11 so much was learned about what the government can do to better orient the country to keep people safe. in the years since, a number of steps have been taken to do

exact exactly that. one thing that happened in the aftermath of 9/11, we have more effectively fused the law enforcement, the military and the intelligence capabilities to make sure that when information was coming in it is properly shared with the relevant authorities and action taken to secure the homeland. the other thing that we knew was that important for us to do is to strengthen the coordination between federal law enforcement, military and intelligence a authorities and local law enforcement. these first responders are on the front line of keeping the communities across the country safe. we have strengthened those relationship, and you know, there are hundreds of millions of dollars a year as provided by the federal government to local communities all across the country to make those communities safer and more resilient and safer at preventing these types of actions from taking place. a lot of the effort as we discussed at some length yesterday has been invested in

cou countering extremism, and we have a robust effort online to counter the radical messages that we are seeing from the extremist organizations around the world. we have acknowledged that while we have made progress in countering the message, there is a lot more to be done to make the efforts more effective, and that is a top priority, and in a variety of ways, we have seen the important results of this work. that can be quantified by the aggressive efforts of law enforcement to arrest people who have stated in the intention to travel to syria alongside isil fighters. and we have seen first responders act effectively to save lives and to respond to terrible incidents that occurred. a good example is boston. that is the place where where we saw the first responders work quickly to save the lives of people who are badly injured in that attack, and over the course

of the few days, bring to justice those who were responsible for carrying out the at tack, and the response that we saw from the citizens of boston was absolutely inspiring. this appeal to the notion of being boston strong, and that just days after this terrible attack was carried out at the finish line at the boston marathon, tens of thousands of bostoni bostonians turned out at a baseball park, fenway park, to attend a ball game. that is the spirit that americans have shown in the face of this threat, and while the u.s. government is vigilant in doing what is necessary, and all that is necessary and all that is possible to protect the american people that the american people can continue on with their lives with the sense of the confidence about the future. april. >> and josh, i wanted to ask along that the line that you referred to roberta, in the midst of the efforts to try to

find out whom these radicalized or what have you in this notion of particularly after paris, and after what just happened in california, is there a concern, and what level of concern is there for the fact that some of the possible suspects have gone underground because of the magnitude of the situation, and the fact that thaw know that the fbi is conducting the raids and trying to find those who are sympathizing with the terrorists here in the country? >> well -- again, for updates on the investigation and any raids that may or may not be conducted by the fbi, i am referring to them. >> and maybe i did not make myself clear. >> i am not sure i entirely understood. >> and when it comes to the sim pa thirzs of those terrorists or isis who could possibly want to conduct something here, and especially what is the concern of finding them when it is so

p public with paris and the intent to find people in paris and in this country, and what happened in california? >> well, again, i don't want to talk about the situation in california, because there is an ongoing investigation the determine exactly what transpired and what motivated those individuals to take the terrible indefensible violent action that they took. let me just say in general that the president and the national security officials have talked about how challenging it is to disrupt particularly lone wolf attacks. and that is -- that is work that has drawn the intense focus of law enforcement both at the state and the federal level. and this is obviously, something that the intelligence community is focused on as well. and, but, if you are taking a look at the track record, and in

particular, the important work done by the fbi and the department of jus the tis, they are, their record of disrupt aring these kinds of plans before they are carried out is good. and it should give the american people confidence in the capabilities that we have, and in the resources that are used to confront this threat. all right. joe? >> there's a lot of information on the record, travel from saudi to the united states, and one of these individuals from pakistan, and there is an amassing of the weapons that we know about, bombs. are we at the point where the administration is ready to if not concede, become concerned about the possibility of a major intelligence failure on these

individual s individuals in the last case? >>el w joe, it is far too early to reach that kind of conclus n conclusion, and we are still learning exactly what was motivating these individuals, what steps they took to carry out this terrible act of violence. so, i think that before we pake any grand pronouncements along those line, it is important for the investigators to learn more about what exactly happened. >> is it time for the president to perhaps change the guidance to americans that we are going to be confident to defend ourselves in the holiday season given what is happening here? >> joe, the american people can be confident that the u.s. government, the law enforcement profession professionals and the intelligence professionals, and military officials are taking very serious the responsibilities that i have, and that they are keen --

responsibilities they have, and that they have a keen responsible to take care of the interest interests of this country at home and around the world. >> and what can you tell us about anything of the vetting process of tashfeen malik, the wife, and it seems that she was vetted by the government to some extent before she traveled here? >> well, joe, this is one of the things that is part of the investigation to learn exactly the circumstances of some of the international travel that we saw from one of the individuals who is an american citizen, and also to learn more about the circumstances that the other shooter entered the united states. so this is the subject of the ongoing investigation. >> is there significant difference of someone coming through a k-1 fiance visa as opposed to somebody coming in from say a refugee from syria?

>> well, that is a good question, and what you have heard us saying in the last few weeks is that refugees seeking to be resettled in the united states are subjected to the most rigorous, intensive screening of anyone who attempts to enter the united states. that process can take typically between 18 and 24 months. it includes in-person interviews, the collection of biographical and buy yo metric information and the vetting of the individuals running through a variety of the database, and including those that are maintained by the el intelligence community, and military and law enforcement, and the standards for individuals who enter on the visa that you described is not as strict. there is still information collected about the circumstances and this person's entry, and so there is more to be learned on that. >> and the last question, given

the fact that this is a woman, and on the west coast involved in the situation, what is the implication for migration policy now? we know that in the case of the refugees coming from syria, women, and children, were given preference over young men of mi military age for example, and does the u united states need to look into whether women should be held to a stricter standard coming from certain countries due to the fact of what we have just seen? >> well, joe, i think that, we pa as part of the information used from this investigation is to adjust the security posture to keep the country safe. again, it is a question that the investigators are going to be considering, and the homeland security professionals will have to evaluate as well.

they, like all of us, are trying to follow the admonition not the jump to conclusions. but obviously, this is something they will carefully consider. okay. gardner? >> are it is slightly off top the i-- slightly off topic, but do you believe that paul ryan is going to have more authority to get the omnibus passed? all right. we are going to break away from the white house press conference as he was offer iing some poins of where the president stands after the san bernardino attacks. and there is late breaking investigation news that authorities have uncovered a link between that female killer and her allegiance to eisis.

so, what can you tell us, jim sciutto and evan perez, what can you tell us about this some sort of pledge of allegiance to abu bakr baghdadi, the isis leader? >> what we do know is that she put a posting on the facebook pledging allegiance to the isis leader. and investigators are not telling what device, but it is under a different name that investigators believe is tied to her, and this is adding to the narrative that it is an isis-inspired attack. >> on facebook. >> yes, and there is no other evidence that it is a isis-directed attack. so no word that somebody reached out to say, conduct this on this day, but it? the category of isis-inspired attack. and to be clear, there is some presen presence -- precedence for this

as the shooter in garland, texas, posted allegiance to the isis group, and that person was killed in that attack trying to the attack the convention of mohammad cartoons, but there is a demanding of the followers to place an allegiance prior to the attack. and now, to be clear, and we have been talking about this for 48 hours, some workplace dimension to it, and the investigators are still examining whether there were some encounters at work with regards to the shooter farook's e religion that may have contribute ed contributed to this, but clearly a direct connection to the isis inspiration for this attack. >> and evan, do we know when the pledge of allegiance was actually posted on facebook? >> it is not clear, because it could have been right before the attack or the as it was beginning, wolf, is the information that we have. it really does go to what jim was talking about, the fact

that, you know, in the united states this is the biggest threat which is the people who are for better, for lack of a better word diy terrorists. they have the drirection from te social media and the isis propaganda, and that is our biggest problem, and not what you are seeing in paris of someone taking instructions from se syria and belgium, and organizing a cell. this is our version of the isis threat. >> and the big question now, jim, and this is what they are focusing in on the investigation right now were these two individuals the husband and the wife acting only as husband and wife or others directly involved in this terror operation? >> they don't have evidence at this point of others involved and they are looking at foreign contact, and evan is the first to report that there were communications now discovered between farook, and others, and

subjects, and not leaders, but other thises who are sympathizers to the cause, and this is relevant and important, because oftentimes as evan was say saying, that is all you need, right. you don't need the phone call, here is the plan, and attack this place on the day, and just the inspiration is enough >> and it is showing for the the investigators an indication of what was going on in his mind in the last couple of years. was he drifting toward the violent jihadism, and unable to be detected. >> and when it is just by direction, it is harder to detect, ba right, because there is no phone call or the direct e-mail or the text message that says you do x on x-day, and that is in the basement, and on the w website interacting, but nobody knows the plans, and in this case, apparently even the family didn't know what they were planning before they attacked. >> okay. standby, because there is an

unbelievable level of access as the news media is allowed ointo the home of the san bernardino shooters. this is an amazing development that happen ed ed in the past h or so, and much more on this part of the story when we come back. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.

we are continuing to follow the breaking news, and including now some horrific images from the two crime scenes in san bernardino, california, and now cnn is getting a look insooide the shooters' home. and this is as the female shooter tashfeen malik pledged allegiance to the leader of eiss in a facebook post according to three u.s. officials familiar with the investigation. and we go the victor blackwell

and stephanie elam join g ing u from redlands, california, right outside of where the shooting takes place. it was an extraordinary moment, e stephanie. and tell us about what you and victor just witnessed inside of the shooters' home. >> it was definitely surreal, for both of us, and we have never seen anything like that, and the owner came with a crowbar and eventually got off a drill, and took off the plywood that was blocking the entrance of the door, and after that, it was everyone going in to see what they could see. i asked the landlord specifically, did the fbi tell you not to let anyone in, and he said, no, that is not the case. he also told me that there is pictures throughout, and he could not identify who was in the pictures, he said that he only dealt with farook, and never dealt with his wife or mother either. so the crush inside was surprising and alarming. >> yes, because it is small house. the hallways are small, and the flight of steps up to the second

floor, and no fewer than 75 people in there with cameras, and you can't see to the side of you, and it pictured the picture of a simultaneously young family with the child's toys around and things that we all have in our homes, and then shards of glass and the front door broken in half, and gashes into the wals,s and so it painted the picture of both the raid and the family that lived there before, of course. >> yes, definitely. >> and e stephanie, did you, were you allotted to the garage where i take it the bomb lab was where they were building a dozen improvised explosive devices. did you see any evidence of that? >> well, the situation with the garage is that it is detached and removed. it is not connect fod hou-- connected to the house. after being in the house, i went around to look at the back sidef of it, and the garage is contained and sealed off. you cannot get in there, and there is a sliding glass door on the back of the living room, but that is also still sealed off

with the plywood and still all of the broken glass there around the child's toys. so there is a lot of questions about what was going on inside of the garage, and especially since we have heard of the speculation of what the couple may have been doing there, but overall looking throughout the house, most of the things in the house were normal. i.d.s and pictures, and normal family things like lotions can -- >> and food on the plate. >> so you can tell they left in a hurry. dishes in the sink, and so it looked as if someone just left that home and the next people in were the fbi. >> yes. >> and i know that, victor, you have received permission you and about 75 other members of the media to go into the home from the landlord and any reaction and any official information from the san bernardino police department or county or redlands or any of the official law enforcement authorities are the there or the fbi which is now the lead investigatory agency in

the whole mass murder? >> yes, an official statement or response received by us stopping the people as you can see behind me, the people are still going into the home. and you can tell that some the people by what they are wearing rg these are no longer solely member of the media. there is a woman with a dog walking through the dog. so it is now, just neighbors, walking in, just because they are curious. but no response. i can see a police car across the street. >> i saw some fbi agents here after the fact. >> and nobody has made any effort to shutdown the scene or shut off access or to move anybody off of the property. and probably 10 feet from me is doyle miller who is the owner of the unit, and he is answering questions and conducted int interviews inside of the home. so as i said earlier to anderson, if there is any law enforcement officer who wanted us off of the property they

could turn on any television in the world and see that we are here. >> he said that he was not given any directive to stop people from going in there, wolf. >> and it is amazing and if the landlord has a moment to come over to the camera to explain his decision to allow everyone in, we would love to hear from him if you can get a hold of him after he is done with the other interview, because we are anxious to hear about that. and standby, both of you, if you will victor and stephanie. i want to bring in the cnn law enforcement analyst paul callan and lee gilliam, and have you ever seen anything like this, paul callan, 21 people ip jur and 14 people murder and now within a couple of days the home is exposed to the news media as it has been? >> no, i have never seen anything like this, and i think it indicate as shocking degree of negligence and really reckless ne

recklessness by law enforcement authorities here. apparently, they have decided because both of the suspects in this mass murder are dead, the investigation, the criminal investigation is over. but let's say hypothetically that maybe there is another person who was involved who was involved in bombmaking in that apartment. you have a contaminated crime scene now, and any criminal defense lawyer or any criminal prosecutor can tell you this that it is not unusual when you go back to the crime scene months later to find additional evidence, and that is why where you have a mass murder, the crime scene is locked down so that forensics can get in and thor error rowly xanl it to -- and or th -- thoroughly examine it, and find evidence as it becomes available. i am shocked by this. >> how about you? >> yes, i agree with paul.

this is the biggest visible screwup in history that has occurred a that a terrorist incident just happened and the repo reporters are going through and looking at i.d.s and pictures all after of that should be evidentiary. it is all evidentiary, and the c carpet. how do we know if there is any dna in the carpet? i don't see any fingerprint powder anywhere in the apartment. wolf, if these people were really bent on killing, they could have bombs implanted in the walls for goodness sakes. i just -- i have never -- i was talking to harry ho oulk a moment ago, and he was speechless. >> go ahead, paul. >> i have tried numerous murder cases as a prosecutor and defense attorney, the and i can tell you, never have i seen something like this. and of course, if it turns out that there are other people involved in this crime, this is the absolute destruction of any

case that they would have against them, but i am more concerned about leads that might be hidden in that debris that will now be destroy ed as a result of the contamination. it is a really shocking aband abandonment of responsibility by the law enforcement here. >> and as you know, jonathan, they are concerned, law enfor enforcement that these two individuals the husband and the wife may not have necessarily acted alone. and they could have been part of the larger cell, and normally after an incident a mass murder like this, that house would be sealed off for a long, long time. >> absolutely. >> and wolf, when a cell exists, look at how many pipe bombs were in the bags. i would almost guarantee you that the people who were going to be carrying out the attacks, they didn't buy the parts for the bombs, and that is telling me that the potential for somebody else involved is there. i -- this, is it is not just destruction of the crime scene,

it is the elimination of pieces of the puzzle that could have potentially led to other people involved. it is just eliminated. >> and you know, wolf, what they have done here is to turn a crime scene in a terrorist mass murder into a garage sale. that is what it looks like as the cameras are going through the house. >> it is shocking. >> i have certainly never seen anything like this in the years i have been covering the horrible crimes, and terror incidents and the mass mudders, and we will continue the follow the latest development, and i assume that the law enforcement authorities, local, kocounty, state or federal and the fbi is now the lead investigatory agency in the terror attack, and i assume they are not happy about that decision to allow the landlord or for whatever reason to a landlord to allow all of the media in. we will hope to speak to the landlord and we hope that he comes over to our reporters.

and also, the panel coming up will talk about the so-called pledge of allegiance by the female attacker tashfeen malik. don't let it conquer you.. with the capability and adaptability

of lexus all-weather drive. this is the pursuit of perfection.

we are continuing to follow the breaking news for what people have fear ed is possible and now confirmed one of the braisen mass murders in the spree killing in san bernardino

had a connection to isis. and now join g ing us is an exp on radical extremism, and also our expert peter bergen. and let's talk about the female tashfeen malik, and through a anonymous name pledged allegiance to abu bakr baghdadi and what can you say about that? >> well, it is the most lethal act of terrorism on u.s. soil has now taken place since 9/# 11 and those acts now speak for themselves. >> and in is an isis-inspired attack as opposed to isis-directed or the organized attack. is that your analysis? >> yes, and looking at the two assault rifles, and the the fact that they destroyed the hard

drive and the cell phones, and they planned some kind of campaign, but luckily, they were stopped before they could get much furor this -- much further than they did. >> and we also heard from a neighbor of the couple, and the neighbor believed that she was the i.n.s. gay to, and she was more of the terrorist, if you will, and he was follow, and inspired and directed more by her, and how unusual would that be? >> not completely unusual actually. it is a misconception that men are the radical one, and women are not. and it runs the gamut, and i remember the cases of a woman who studied here at m.i.t., and she was is one of the most prominent jihadi leaders and recruiters in the u.s. so we have quite a few women, and if we look at the social media, and the women who are inspire by isis, and one-third of the people active are women, and they are the most prolific, and radical online. >> and he was u.s. born, and is

she was from pakistan tand met n saudi arabia and came here on a fiance visa, and had a child which they left with the grandparent before this killing spree. and now, the family of farook is saying they are shocked over what happened. listen to this. >> i cannot ever imagine my brother and sister-in-law doing something like this, because they were happily married and 6-month-old daughter, and it is mind boggling because of this, and we can't imagine the loss and the people who are injured or hurt badly are and our thoughts and prayers are going out to them. >> and the couple had thousands of rounds of ammunition in that home, and 12 improvised explosive devices they were working on in the garage. is it a fair to assume that no one had a clue what these two people were up to? >> well, it is that we have seen over and over again that it is

actually possible. remarkable as it may seem, that we have seen it with the families who have turned out to be terrorists not having a clue at all, and people sort of withdraw into e.m.s.s this, and sort of only interact with the outside world inside of the home. and the fact of the prep fwhoshg the garage and away from the main house, and away from the world, it is possible, and sounds unlikely, but it is true. we have seen it happen over and over again, and people of close friends and close family were comple completely, completely in the dark. >> and you believe it is possible as well that the wife was the lead in this as opposed to the husband? >> yes, absolutely. are there is no reason to suggest that this is only, this sort of thing only happens when a man persuades a woman to participate. we have seen the women being radicalized across the world not

only in islamic causes, but plenty of other terrorist groups and other cases of criminal activity, and it is entirely possible, and plausible that it was the wife that did it. this is does feel and i should be careful, because it is still day 2 1/2 of the investigation, and always feels like there is one more shoe to drop, but based on what we know so far, absolutely, it is entirely possible to say that the wife was the main instigator in this. >> and now that the fbi has formally taken the lead in the investigation, it seems to suggest that it is in fact a terror investigation as opposed to some sort of workplace violence that may have been going on there in san bernardino. all right. guys, thank you very much, and law enforcement in san bernardino say that there were no warning signs or red flags that the couple was planning the deadly rampage, and yet new court documents reveal a troubling details of the past of the male gunman's family. we will explain when we come

new poll numbers just released moments ago showing hillary clinton securing a nearly 2 to 1 lead over bernie sanders in the race for president. the new cnn orc poll shows clinton topping bernie sanders 58% to 30%. martin o'malley coming in with just 2% of the vote. let's take a closer look at all of this with our cnn political director david chalon. she was at 45% in october. now she's up to 58%. he's basically stayed the same, bernie sanders. but biden was at 18% in october. he's not running so she's gotten almost all of that support. >> which we predicted that it would. we asked that if people said a second choice if biden doesn't get in and they would go to hillary clinton. so she benefits from biden being in the race from the news environment because with isis

and terror front and center, those are big, strong points for hillary clinton. >> 59% of the democrats in this poll say she is best qualified to handle isis. let's take a look at the republican side in our brand new poll. donald trump does amazingly well. he's way ahead right now. let's put those numbers on the screen and also the numbers up on the screen which shows who is best to handle isis among the republicans. trump at 46% among republicans think he is best qualified to handle isis. everybody much, much lower. he's way ahead in the general national election among republicans. >> he has a 20-point lead in the national horse race. but part of that big lead is because of numbers like that that you just showed about isis. aublt to handle isis, immigration, all those issues are driving that number, that 20-point lead in the republican field. >> he's really gone up over the

past couple weeks. a lot of his supporters say he's going to go up more as a result of what's happened in san bernardino. >> a lot of people do say that. he himself said yesterday to cnn that when there's a crisis moment, his numbers tend to go up because he displays this position of strength. he's constantly trying to display strength and his supporters respond to that. >> those that thought his front runner status was going to be brief, it is not brief. he's doing amazingly well right now way ahead of the republican candidates nationally in this poll. jeb bush not doing so well. let's put those numbers up. he was the front runner not that long ago, but he's now down 3%. >> which is really astonishing for jeb bush. this is a precipitous fall for the last several months. he has a real problem on his hands. when you have a number like 3%, the donors start getting worried whether or not there's going to

be the money coming in to sustain a long delegate battle throughout 2016. jeb bush has not been able to show signs of life requester quite some time and this is some of the worst news in terms of polling that the bush m campaign has received. >> they have spent millions and millions of dollars on advertising. . trump has spent virtually nothing on advertising. the disparity is amazing. >> the super pac announced they are going to go out with these longer ads, documentary style of jeb bush's career. i'm not sure that's going to move the numbers. we have not seen that yesterday yet. >> the big headline in all of these polls is donald trump way ahead nationally right now. his lead even growing. thank you very much, david. this important note. we're only less than two weeks from the next republican presidential debate. that will be the last republican presidential debate of this

yore. i will be moderating the debate on tuesday night, december 15th, 9 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. that's it for me. i'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." "newsroom" with brooke baldwin starts right now. thank you so much, i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for being with me on this friday. breaking news here on cnn as we are waiting any minute now we could be seening the san bernardino sheriffs office giving a media briefing momentarily. we're learning more details abts the depraved husband and wife duo who left their baby behind and massacred those 14 people at a holiday party in southern california. today here this is what's crucial. a link between these two killers and the most brutal terror kbrogroup on earth, u.s.ist.
