tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNN  December 7, 2015 6:00pm-7:01pm PST

6:00 pm
6:01 pm
>> 9:00 p.m. here and outside charleston, south carolina and to carry block and any muslim from entering the united states. >> so, what's happened is we're out of control. we have no idea whose coming into our country. we have no idea if they love us or hate us. we have no idea if they want to bomb us or what is going on.
6:02 pm
>> tonight donald trump justifying the fan that would apply to immigrants and drawing fire from including former vice president dick cheney and goes against everything we stand for and believe in. jeff zeleny joins us now. trump wrapped up the rally. how is the now proposal being received by supporters? >> reporter: around sonderson, d it's being received well. he got cheers and applause and when you talk to voters, people are atrafraid and frightened. donald trump knows this. he knows that he is tapping into something that's very real particularly among his base so he knows exactly what he's doing politically speaking at least but i was struck by some shadow language, dark language and said at one point it's only going to get worse and worse, folks. we'll have a lot more world
6:03 pm
trade centers and left the language hanging in the room but take a listen how he announced his muslim plan. he read his paper statement. let's listen. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. [ cheers ] >> we have no choice. we have choice. >> folks running against him and south carolina and early other early states. >> reporter: no question, anderson. across the board, the early states condemn this. the iowa gop chair said it betrays the constitution.
6:04 pm
the south carolina republican party said it sends shivers down my back and new hampshire said it was unrepublican and donald trump had three words. too much political correctness and says i don't care. >> jeff zeleny, thanks. the raw politics when coupled with the cnn polling out of iowa, david garrigan and dana bash. david, what's your reaction about trump saying no muslims in america? >> well, anderson, it's striking that he said this on the 74th anniversary of pearl harbor and as you'll recall shortly after pearl harbor, president roosevelt rounded up the japanese american citizens in this country and herded them into camps, the interment camps and that later became a dark stain on america's history of freedom and welcoming people
6:05 pm
like him. it was long seen as a disgrace -- >> ronald reagan later apologized for that, in fact. >> exactly. what is striking also is if you go back and try to find how americans responded, one poll the team could find came out of southern california after roosevelt was acting on the japanese americans and 75% of people in southern california approved of the interment catches and did not trust the japanese americans. we had a history a blytithe on e history and something in the electret that gets very, very anxious and scared and we got to address anxiety to get through this period. >> dana, what are you hearing from sources in the republican party itself? >> similar to what david said. when you talk to sources in the so-called establishment, which is pretty much at this point anybody whose not donald trump
6:06 pm
who thinks that this is a terrible idea, they think it's not just at this point it's not just about politics. it's not just about the fact that he is clearly trying to tap into a very real anxiety out there that david was talking about but it's also about americans safety. i genuinely have talked to people who aren't necessarily anti trump but are just kind of looking at this from a strictly foreign policy point of view that say they are worried this is something that could hurt americans abroad. could hurt the american effort to combat isis abroad with, you know, interpreters for example. that's something that lindsey graham whose one of trump's competitors actually told me on the phone earlier tonight, he said, you know, we've got this people working hand and hand with americans on the battle field. this say death sentence to them. so that -- it's gone beyond politics which everybody acknowledges is potentially
6:07 pm
beneficial to trump to a real fear for safety. >> ryan, i mean, it's interesting we had general hurtling on that said this is as bad as abu grave in terms of the damage it can do to america's strategically to the fight overseas in iraq, in afghanistan toward america trying to do there to the fighting men and women, you know, to advocate people entering the u.s. on the base of religion putting aside a constitutional question or even the capabilities of how one would go about that, is there any reason to believe you think this would hurt trump despite the folks in the gop lining up against it? >> i don't know. i think that for it to hurt him politically, republicans, the republican elites need to get off the sidelines and, you know, there is encouraging signs tonight with the early state gop chairman that's very rare for the head of a party in an early state like iowa, new hampshire to come out and criticize one of the candidates who are running
6:08 pm
and so i think that's an encouraging sign but i think a lot of republican elites who have been watching this primary and crossing their fingers hoping trump goes away and that he doesn't damage the party's brand, they need to put skin in the game. if they believe as most republicans will privately tell you that he is destroying the brand of the republican party and single handedly doing it, they need to actually get out and say it because frankly, people who are supporting trump don't trust those of us in the main stream media. there is a serious divide and it's got the information has to come from conservative voices and people that are a little more trusted in those constituencies. >> david to ryan's point, they don't trust and by the way, trump is calling reporters like 70% of them scum tonight, which i guess is nothing new in his
6:09 pm
speech but you know, ryan was talking about republican elites, conservative elites, there is a lot of distrust with the elites among trump supporters. >> there is an enormous amount of distrust among trump supporters and to some extend i have to say people in the elites i think are looking upon the trump supporters as yahoos or in fact we have to understand they have real frustrations and we have to address those. i think it is a question, i think ryan is right about the republican elite, republican establishment such as this standing up and taking on this question, but in this case, anderson, they have to go beyond standing up to trump. they have to have a plan for keeping america safe and i think the president's speech last night unfortunately as much as i thought much of it on gun control was right, i think fell short and reassuring people he's on top of this and republicans have to come up with a plan that is, that is persuasive.
6:10 pm
look, hillary clinton has a more persuasive plan than the president now. surely the republicans can put their mind to this and come up with a plan that protects people at home and advances interest over seas and doesn't violate our basic values as the trump effort is doing. >> dana, there is two new polls out of iowa. what do they show? >> well, one is our poll, cnnorc's poll that came out that shows trump, way, way ahead of everybody else. 13-point lead you see there of the person whose behind him which is ted cruz but another poll from mamouth university has a result. cruz is ahead and trump behind there are a couple reasons for this discrepancy. the most important is that mamouth when they did the simple, they looked at past primary voters and look at people that say they will vote and the whole idea if you're trump is they are going to bring
6:11 pm
in new voters. the most important thing is to button up this conversation is that in this new poll, not that he's ahead. he's ahead on fighting isis and foreign policy. he's ahead among these voters in the first caucus state on the very issues that he's making waves with tonight. >> interesting. ryan lizza great, dana, quick program note. donald trump will be chris cuomo's guest on new day morning and answer questions about his plan. tune in for that. coming up next, the san bernardino killers and how deep the roots of radicalization are in and how long they may have been planning to wage jihad and radicalization and how to confront it. believe it.

6:15 pm
further back they believe the road began that ended with them taking 14 lives at an office gathering last week. sources telling pamela brown it may have gone back at least two years in the case of the wife and that's far from the only development tonight. anna cabrera joins us with the latest. the fbi holding a press conference. what did you learn? >> reporter: we're learning a lot more about the killers. while they don't know exactly who radicalized who, they do believe both had been radicalized and had been for quite sometime they said and also told us that both tashfeen malik and her husband syed farook had gone to shooting ranges here locally and had practiced target shooting, in fact, most recently just days before the shooting. investigators confiscated five guns, two pistols, three were rifles, three guns did belong to syed farook and the other two guns we now know were purchased
6:16 pm
by a man named enrique marquez. investigators don't know exactly how those weapons ended up in the hands of these two killers. they are calling this a massive investigation and say they are working extremely methodically and collected 320 pieces of evidence, many sent to the fbi crime lab in virginia and interviewed more than 400 people including farook's parents. they were both interviewed for several hours we know and the authorities here locally are reaching out to their counter parts overseas trying to track the movements of farook and malik in pakistan, in saudi a b arabia and perhaps elsewhere if they had contacts with others. they are really working this case and sharing bits and pieces as they go. >> the father of farook spoke to an italian newspaper. what did he say? >> reporter: this is interesting what he said if true is
6:17 pm
chilling. this is an account published, just yesterday, in fact and it's an italian newspaper. the father said quote, when asked whether his son had talked about terrorism or isis, he said quote, and who does not talk about it these days? he said he shared the ideology of al baghdadi to create an islamic state and fixated on israel and he was asked if the son had contacts with terrorists and he responded i do not know but these days who can say with the internet and technology. since this report was published, we now have heard from the lawyer of the farook family who says that the father was on several medications and he does not recall making any of these statements but the fbi has said they will get to the bottom of it. the digital footprint is something they are track sging.
6:18 pm
>> there is a photo showing these two entering the u.s. a while back, right? >> this was from 2014 in july at chicago's o'hare airport. it's the last, most recent publication of the couple that we know of and you can see both of them together. this is when we believe tashfeen came in on that fiancee visa. you know, she was born in pakistan. spent a lot of time in saudi arabia and farook traveled to saudi arabia a couple times. in july 2014 they came here as a couple to live in the u.s. and under california law were married about a month later, although authorities have also said they could have been married in some kind of ceremony overseas prior to that. >> joining us cnn national security analyst peter and former fbi executive sean henry, chief security officer of crowd strike services and former fbi and cia counterterrorism official phil mud.
6:19 pm
phil, in your work, you've looked a lot of these cases of pokes radicalized here in the united states. how much is -- there is the religious component and religious ideology and the ex tr treemest. >> we're talking about religion. talk about emotion. brother to brother, father to son, husband and wife. you're going over a bar where you're deciding to use an act of violence in this case murder to take -- to take action based on a political belief. people don't typically do that in isolation. they are bouncing against someone they trust. someone in the community they view as an older brother. >> there is a religious ideology but backed up by the personal connection of somebody else willing to do it. >> not only personal connection but talking to each other. i'm unhappy with american policy on israel. what do we do? you need a trusted figure to say we're not only going to do something about it but commit murder. think of the tsarnaev brothers.
6:20 pm
i don't believe the younger brother would take action without the older. i know a case out of north carolina, father convincing sons if the federal officials come towards the house. head shot. >> the father -- >> telling his sons. you can look at religion but look at the case of radicalization when one individual is deciding i want to commit the act of murder and often you'll find somebody in the case whose the emotional partner and persuades you you can get over the bar. >> the idea the female may have been radicalized abroad, what does that mean for the future how the u.s. moves forward in finding these types of individuals before they enter the u.s. because we were talking in the last hour intelligence sharing with the pakistanis is according to bob baer nonexistent. >> the president said last night, anderson, multiple efforts to look for that type of activity in advance and prevent people that may have been
6:21 pm
radicalized from coming into the united states talked about intelligence sharing and we know there are failures there in the past and also talked about changing some of the visa statutes that are in place right now to make vetting much more rigorous, much manufacture challenging to try and weed out those who may be looking to come here with bad intent. the fbi, we've not been able to identify people radicalized here in the united states with efforts and capabilities of u.s. law enforcement. i don't know how we're going to be able to do that just in coordination with foreign partners. certainly there will be some opportunities but that is not going to be traide and true. >> you argued how tough it is to find these types of individuals radicalized bringing up the point many are in their mid 20s, well-educated and given that, so what do you look for as an investigator? what clues? >> until we find a machine to
6:22 pm
peer into souls and tell you what they are thinking, we're not going to be at a point to stop people who have so-called clean skins and don't have criminal records like this couple not on the radar of law enforcement in any meaningful way and, you know, the burro didn't see them coming, no one saw them coming but we've seen other examples of that. you may recall one that drove an suv into times square on may 1st, 2010 with a bomb and completely off the radar screen and came from upper class and went to the university in the united states and worked as a financial analyst in an elizabeth arden counter and trained by the pakistan taliban and we're lucky that bomb did not go off and kill a lot of people on a saturday evening in times square back in may of 2010. >> phil, as somebody who worked at cia and fbi, when you hear donald trump say let's stop any muslim from coming into the united states until we figure
6:23 pm
out what the heck is going on, does that hurt the overall effort? i mean, in terms of not having a war against all of islam, does it make the american soldiers job serving overseas harder? >> i think potentially if someone like that comes in office and puts in practice a policy, you'll see propaganda that says not only is this person opposed to us but you are living in a culture where you cannot practice religion. you have to go to a culture the islamic state for example where we have a purity for the practice of religion that will allow you to practice your religion as you should. there is another perspective, though, that is a european perspective. you're a google employee. donald trump calls the prime minister of the united kingdom and says your british employees that are christian can travel here but not muslim. can you imagen? the pack tractical aspects are
6:24 pm
unimaginab unimaginable. >> thank you. more on the subject, new questions about what it will take to defeat isis. the san bernardino attack and showing how complicated the answers might be. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. 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. i tabut with my back paines, i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm.

6:28 pm
more on breaking news, new developments into the san bernardino investigation, the female shooter was likely radicalized and entered with her soon to be husband at chicago o'hare international airport a year and a half ago. in his rare address, president obama vowed to defeat isis using basically the same strategies in force. >> the strategy we are using now, air strikes, special forces and working with local forces who are fighting to regain control of their own country, that is how we'll achieve a more sustainable victory and it won't require us sending a new generation of americans overseas to fight and die for another decade on foreign soil. >> well, critics of the president say those tactics aren't working and isis is attracting new recruits and inspiring attack s in the west
6:29 pm
and joining us mike rogers and former chairman and a former fbi supervisor special agent. chairman rogers, the president saying the current strategy against isis is working and asking for patience from the american people. what did you think of what he said, staying the course, is that enough? >> i don't think so. one of my concerns is we don't have the whole list tick tit ap. they just talked about setting up a finance meeting right after the french attack they upped the number of attacks on the logistic l ooil producing transportation. all of that should have been done. these are reaction events and not a strategy and i think it's so important, anderson, that we have a whole strategy that both our allies and i think our military understands what it is and where we're going and again, has to be wholistic and grade
6:30 pm
command and control, both raqq intelligence operations specifically in syria and it means better targeting and helping logistically ramp up allies in the region. that has to happen and happen at the same time and i haven't seen that. >> what do you think about what the president said? >> i agree with the chairman. i think first of all, there's a lot of things i agree with the president. i agree with him talking about ideology and working with communities around the muslim world in the united states and around the world. >> not been good at that. >> we're still way behind that tactical victories and don't have a strategy to come back republicans talking about large
6:31 pm
numbers of troops, would that alienate the sounnis. >> it took ten years and still in afghanistan and i think at this point we have to be careful and i agree with having special forces and military advisors, that's fine and dandy. put thousands of people on the ground and you're giving isis what they want. >> the fact that the nsa 9/11 and the only access two rather than five years, has that happened before? >> i think so and for trying to find the right fit to extend that program and what we lost was time. so before you could -- law enforcement to run the search on
6:32 pm
those numbers and get it back almost instantaneously go to each phone company and comes in different forms, formats and so law enforcement has to take it, reformat it and do this identification search on the numbers and information requested. it's cumbersome and takes time and in this kind of a case. time can absolutely help because you don't know how many other folks are in that same boat. who did they talk to over the last five years? i'd certainly like to know and who impacted their radicalization and are there other offshoots? that information gets lost in that three-year gap and that time to put it all together even to get the two years is length and i don't know for what purpose. i don't believe we have any more civil liberty protection today than before. i thought it was good before and legal and compliant and it still is today but just now much more difficult for them to do what they have to do. i hope they go back and revisit it. >> i think another thing i would like to add to what the chairman
6:33 pm
said, we need to find 21 s century solutions for 21st century problems. i have probably about four or five different ways to communicate without going through a phone company without doing total encrypted messages and literally, we have law enforcement and intelligence operating in the dark. we have no idea if these guys were communicating through different apps that makes it impossible to the law enforcement to find and i think the fbi had been advocating to find a solution to this. unfortunately, most of the laws that we have are designed to 20th century problems, not to 21 s century technology issues. >> always good to have you and chairman rogers, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> just ahead, chicago officials released i havideo of another pe shooting and announced the officer will not face charges and the feds launched an investigation of the tactics chicago police used. does chicago have a policing problem? we'll look at that ahead. this is the one place we're not afraid to fail.

fresh outrage not to charge
6:38 pm
the police officer that killed 25-year-old ronald johnson. they played a dashcam video and said an independent board decided the officer did nothing wrong. mr. johnson was killed in october of 2014 eight days before laquan mcdonald was killed. video was released two weeks ago. the day that the officer who killed him was charged with first-degree murder. it's graphic images sparked protest that flared up again after the release of police reports that contradict what the video itself shows. today the u.s. attorney general announced the justice department is investigating the chicago police deputy's use of force practices and not the first time the city's police force faced scrutiny and acquisitions of protecting their own. gary tuchman reports. >> reporter: what you're watching is chicago police protecting their own, a human shield of supporters and fellow cops surrounding commander glen evans as he leaves the courtroom in september of last year. >> okay. all right. >> excuse us. >> reporter: the highly
6:39 pm
decorated cop was charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct after tackling ricky williams in january of 2013 on chicago's south side. police say evan was patrolling the area when he saw williams with a gun. evans chased williams down and tackled him in an abandoned home. >> the defendant stuck his smith and wessen semiautomatic pistol deep down the victim's throat. >> reporter: prosecutors say dna matching ricky william was found on commander evan's pistol. the gun he was carrying was never found and williams filed a complaint saying the officer threatened to kill him. this is former police boss gary mccarthy responded. >> i'm not going to answer that question. that's absurd. do i support him? if i didn't support him, he wouldn't be there. >> reporter: the officer pleaded not guilty and trial starts on december 8th. officers protecting their own is hardly unique and is most often justified but this wasn't the
6:40 pm
first complaint of abuse against lieutenant evans. a partially disabled man won a $100,000 settlement against the city after he claimed evans beat him after he tried to post a water cut off notice on evan's property. what happened to the cop? in a word nothing except he's been promoted to commander. >> there is so much protection built in for police officers and i'm not critical but it's gone so far it's virtually impossible to meaningfully discipline a police officer when they do break the rules. >> reporter: in fact, the university of chicago found in the last 4.5 years of the more than 28,000 complaints levelled against the city's police, less than 2% led to discipline of any kind. so why is it difficult to discipline bad chicago cops? some argue the system of investigating police is broken and that the union that protects them is too strong. dean anglo senior is the chicago
6:41 pm
of order police president. >> is it possible bad cops are on the streets and you're protecting them. >> i protect all of my members and i will continue to do that. >> reporter: and after laquan mcdonald was killed by chicago police officer jason van dyke, the version of events told by the chicago police officers at the scene and union was different than what tape of the shooting showed. >> is there a culture of covering up? >> if they would have covered it up, you wouldn't have saw the videotape. >> reporter: they covered it up for a long time. >> it was adjudicated and the officer was separated. >> reporter: is there a culture of covering up? can it be -- >> can it be a culture? >> reporter: there is much more than that, you know that. can it be improved? >> anything can be improved. >> reporter: as officer van dyke was escorted out of jail, the union head was there protecting one of his own. gary tuchman, cnn, chicago. >> joining me van jones and also cnn law enforcement analyst and
6:42 pm
retired nypd harry hoke. you heard 28,000 complaints against chicago police leading to discipline after any kind, is that too little? >> you know, it's hard to imagine that 98% of the people filing complaints are completely groundless in what they are putting forward. you know, any human system, this is not about being procop or anti cop, any human system that does not have adequate checks and balances will tend toward corruption and abuse over time. you have meat inspectors and building inspectors and not because you hate butchers and construction guys. you want to make sure every human system has checks and balances. what you see with law enforcement all too often is that good idea of let's make sure that good cops don't get in trouble is now extending toward bad cops know they are not going to get in trouble and that's where we are and that's bad. >> harry, is there too much protection for police officers and civilian complaints?
6:43 pm
>> i don't know. those statistics steameem a lit low, 2%. each case has been taken on. >> do you think this idea of the blue wall of silence, does that still exist? is that still an issue? >> maybe in the minds of some police officers, yes. i found that wall has been broken down a lot in the past 20 years. i know when i was internal affairs, a lot of calls we got about corruption and police officers on the -- at the action desk were police officers making the allegations and they didn't want to be -- they didn't want to be known so we gave them a number. >> do you -- you know, the chicago officer is not going to be charged in the shooting of ronald johnson. obviously comes on the heels of the shooting of laquan mcdonald. is it fair to compare the two? >> not fair to compare them, no.
6:44 pm
each case is individually different. here this recent shooting we're looking at now, the fact that this guy was armed. he had a weapon. one of his buddies gave him up he was in the car with that he heard him ejecting the round in the backseat of the car when they got shot at. looks like he fired a shot from the car and he definitely was armed and when officer -- you can shoot an armed suspect running away from you because any time you're running, i can shoot a round and kill an officer. >> it's hard to know because now the trust is gone. you don't actually see the gun. you know, they draw a circle and say it's the gun. it could be a gun or his hand. now you're relying on trust. you know some chicago cops and big city cops have throw down guns, guns they drop at the scene and so now -- >> that's the old days, van. you don't see that. >> let me finish. i let you talk. >> okay. i understand.
6:45 pm
>> there is a lack of trust when you have a police deputy that would hide for a year a videotape showing a police officer killing somebody and listen, frankly, as soon as that police officer stopped shooting, the good cops should have arrested the police officer. that could give you confidence. i do think now you got a big cloud of doubt over every police officer and that's not fair. >> the police officer didn't hold back the video. that is evidence, all right? if anybody is going to release the video, that's the district attorney's office, not the police. that's something the district attorney's office -- >> that is a fair point but the relationship between the prosecutors and police can be so cozy sometimes it feels from a community point of view that all law enforcement is not -- >> there's no evidence. nothing but assumptions here. >> that's why we got an investigation from the department of justice because we need to get to the bottom of it and i'm glad the department of justice is going there because we have a city where the mayor is under suspicion what did rob emanuel know when you have a
6:46 pm
police officer sitting there for a year clearly a murderer and doesn't get charged until you get a video out there. >> thanks very much. ahead, more from san bernardino, not the investigation but lives lost. rene wetzel, her husband was a perfect man and between them they were raising six children. my interview with her ahead. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit.
