3:22 am
trend in philanthropy? >> around the silicon valley billionaire set, what seems to be happening is they like this blended approach where there is some charity but there is for-profit, there is some lobbying arm here. the thing that's really interesting to me is that they want more accountability. they say they want to give their dollars and maximize those dollars and this structure will do it. >> jill, thanks very much. >> thank you. u2 came back to paris tonight. >> tonight we are all parisians. >> a concert making up for a show canceled three weeks ago in the wake of that city's terror attacks. after leading the crowd in a chant of vive la france, they opened with a song titled "miracle." kennedy center honors tonight started with a reception at the white house. actress cicely tyson is among the honorees, rita moreno,

"cbs overnight news" for this sunday. for others the news continues. for others check back with us later for the morning news and "cbs news this morning." this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jeff glor. the fbi is investigation the shootings in san bernardino as an act of terrorism. tashfeen malik pledged allegiance to isis on facebook. the attack left 14 dead at a holiday celebration. president obama addressed the nation last night from the oval office.
3:29 am
were killed as they came together to celebrate the holidays. they were taken from family and friends who loved them deeply. they were white and black, latino and asian, immigrants and american-born. moms and dads, daughters and sons. each of them served their fellow citizens. all of them were part of our american family. tonight i want to talk with you about this tragedy, the broader threat of terrorism, and how we can keep our country safe. the fbi is still gathering the facts about what happened in san bernardino, but here's what we know. the victims were brutally murdered and injured by one of their co-workers and his wife. so far we have no evidence that the killers were directed by a terrorist organization overseas or that they were part of a broader conspiracy here at home. but it is clear that the two of them had gone down the dark path of radicalization, embracing a
3:30 am
islam that calls for war against america and the west. weapons, ammunition, and pipe bombs. so this was an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people. our nation has been at war with terrorists since al qaeda killed nearly 3,000 americans on 9/11. in the process we've hardened our defenses, from airports to financial centers to other critical infrastructure. intelligence and law enforcement agencies have disrupted countless plots, here and overseas, and work the around the clock to keep us safe. our military and counterterrorism officials have relentlessly pursued terrorist networks overseas, disrupting safe havens in several different countries, killing osama bin laden, and decimating al qaeda's leadership. over the last few years, however, the terrorist threat
3:31 am
as we've become better at preventing complex, multi-faceted attacks like 9/11, terrorists turn to less complicated acts of violence like the mass shootings that are all too common in our society. here at home we have to work together to address the challenge. there's several steps that congress should take right away. to begin with, congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. what could possibly be the argument for allowing a terror suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? this is a matter of national security. we also need to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones that were used in san bernardino. i know there are some who reject any gun safety measures, but the fact is that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, no matter how effective they are, cannot identify every would-be mass shooter.
3:32 am
motivated by isil or some other hateful ideology. what we can do and must do is make it harder for them to kill. next we should put in place stronger screening for those who come to america without a visa so that we can take a hard look at whether they've traveled to war zones. and we're working with members of body parties in congress to do exactly that. finally, if congress believes as i do that we are at war with isil, it should go ahead and vote to authorize the continued use of military force against these terrorists. for over a year i have ordered our military to take thousands of air strikes against isil targets. i think it's time for congress to vote to demonstrate that the american people are united and committed to this fight. my fellow americans, these are the steps that we can take together to defeat the terrorist threat.
3:33 am
we should not do. we should not be drawn once more into a long and costly ground war in iraq or syria. that's what groups like isil want. they know they can't defeat us on the battlefield. isil fighters were part of the insurgency that we faced in iraq. but they also know that if we occupy foreign lands, they can maintain insurgencies for years, killing thousands of our troops, draining our resources, and using our presence to draw new recruits. the strategy that 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. here's what else we cannot do.
3:34 am
another by letting this fight be defined as a war between america and islam. that too is what groups like isil want. isil does not speak for islam. they are thugs and killers, part of a cult of death. and they account for a tiny fraction of a more than 1 billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslim americans who reject their hateful idea ol. moreover, the vast majority of terrorist victims around the world are muslim. if we're to succeed in defeating terrorism, we must enlist muslim communities as some of our strongest allies. rather than push them away through suspicion and hate. that does not mean denying the fact that an extremist ideology has spread within some muslim communities. there's a real problem that muslims must confront without
3:35 am
muslim leaders here and around the globe have to continue working with us to decisively and unequivocally reject the hateful ideology that groups like isil and al qaeda promote. to speak out against not just acts of violence but also those interpretations of islam that are incompatible with the values of religious tolerance, mutual respect, and human dignity. but just as it is the responsibility of muslims around the world to root out misguided ideas that lead to radicalization, it is the responsibility of all americans of every faith to reject discrimination. it is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country. it's our responsibility to reject proposals that muslim americans should somehow be treated differently. because when we travel down that road, we lose. that kind of divisiveness, that
3:36 am
into the hands of groups like isil. muslim americans are our friends and our neighbors. our co-workers, our sports heroes. and yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country. we have to remember that. thank you. god bless you. we are in the age of ageless. age neutral. age defiant. age agnostic. olay is a purveyor of ageless. only the best 1% of ingredients make it into our products. for transformed skin without expensive brands or procedures. it's the ultimate beauty victory. nobody has any idea how old you are. with olay, you age less. so you can be ageless.

red 97! set! red 97! did you say 97? yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's 97% customer satisfaction rating. 97%? helped by geico's fast and friendly claims service. huh... oh yeah, baby. geico's as fast and friendly as it gets. woo! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. man (sternly): where do you think you're going? mr. mucus: to work, with you. it's taco tuesday. man: you're not coming. i took mucinex to help get rid of my mucusy congestion. i'm good all day. [announcer:] mucinex keeps working. not 4, not 6, but 12 hours.
3:38 am
the terror attacks in san bernardino have had a big impact on presidential campaigns. democrats are pushing for stronger gun regulations. republicans are blaming the president for not being tough over terrorism. the strongest criticism is coming from gop presidential front-runner donald trump. and john dickerson spoke to trump for "face the nation." >> there are links between isis and the terrorist attack in san bernardino but there were no red flags.
3:39 am
happening again? >> i think there are red flags and a lot of people knew what was going on in that house or that apartment and people were not wanting to call because they thought it would be inappropriate to call. >> inappropriate why? >> they were saying that it was -- that they would have been profiling. and a person said, we sort of knew what was going on but we don't want to profile. can you believe this? >> should there be profiling? >> i think there can be profiling. >> how would that work? >> if they thought there was something wrong with group and they saw what was happening and they didn't want to call the police because they didn't want to be profiling? i think that's pretty bad. a lot of people are dead right now. so everybody wants to be politically correct and that's part of the problem we have with our country. >> have people been too politically correct with muslims in america? >> i think so. maybe with other things so. i think certainly so. i came out with i want vigilance vigilance. i want real vigilance. whether it's mosques or whatever
3:40 am
but a lot of bad things are happening. >> whatever it has to be. does that include -- i know you -- where are you on the question of tracking muslims in america? >> well, look, we are having a problem with radicals, with the radicals in the muslim group. let's not kid ourselves. and you can say it or you don't have to say it and maybe you won't even want to but i've been saying it loud and strong. so if you have people coming out of mosques with hatred and with death in their eyes and on their minds, we're going to have to do something, john. we can't just say, we're not going to look at it. now, i made that statement a number of weeks ago. it took a lot of -- a lot of whatever, a lot of people were not exactly thrilled with it. now everybody seems to agree with me. >> this idea of tracking muslims in america, where are you on that? >> you have people who have to be tracked. if they're muslims they're muslims. you have people who have to be tracked. we have to show vigilance, we have to have it.
3:41 am
people. we're really -- we're being led by people that don't know twhaes happening. when you have president obama talking about global warming is our biggest problem, we have a president that is just not with it at all. >> there are 3 million muslims in america. what should they feel about their place in american life now? >> look, we are having a tremendous problem with radical islamic terrorism. you can say it or you don't have to say it. and we have a president that won't issue the term, he won't talk about it. so we're having this tremendous radical islamic terrorism, okay? a lot of the people don't want to even say it. not a lot of people. we have one person that i really know of, it's called president obama. until he admits that this is a problem we're never going to solve the problem. but he's only going to be there fortunately a little over a year. the problem will get solved when he gets the hell out. >> you mentioned political correctness about muz lips. the criticism of you is that you are playing on fears that people have --
3:42 am
no, i'm not playing on fears, i don't want to play on fears. i understand the whole world and i understand. i have muslim friends who are great people. by the way, they tell me there's a big problem. i'm not playing on fears, i'm playing on common sense. we have a problem. the world trade center came down. by the way, speaking of coming down, they put their families on airplanes a couple of days before, sent them back to saudi arabia for the most part. those wives knew exactly what was going to happen. and those wives went home to watch their husbands knock down the world trade center, the pentagon, and wherever the third plane was going, except we had some very, very brave passengers, wherever that third plane was going. those wives knew exactly what was happening. >> you mentioned the families, going after the families. what does that mean? >> going after, well, at least i would certainly go after the wives who absolutely knew what was happening.
3:43 am
what i'd do, i'm going to leave that to your imagination. but i will tell you i would be very tough on families. because the families know what's happening. even in this last instance. i see everybody knew. so many people knew. they thought that this man and this woman, whether he was radicalized or how he became -- they thought something was going on. why don't these people report it to the police? why wouldn't they report it to the police? they said it was profiling, they didn't want to profile. can you believe this? they didn't want to profile even though they thought something very bad was going on. >> his sister said she didn't know what was going on, she was crestfallen for the victims -- >> i don't believe the sister. >> you don't believe the sister? you'd go after her? >> i would go after a lot of people and i'd find out whether or not they knew. i'd be able to find out. i don't believe the sister. >> do you worry about creating more terrorists? >> no we have to stop terrorists. the only way you're going to stop them, in my opinion, is that way. you know, they say they don't
3:44 am
i think they do mind dying. but i can tell you this, they want their families left alone. we have to stop terrorism. >> you don't think there's a worry, a tension if you go too far that you end up creating more terrorists? >> what's too far? they're killing people. whether it's what we just saw in california or in paris. they're killing people. innocent people. people without guns. you look at paris. no guns. nothing. you look at california. no guns. i can tell you one thing, if i'm in there and i have a gun, we're going down, we're going to knock them out one way or the other. a couple of guns are in that room, you talk about second amendment, which i'm a big believer in the second amendment. in paris they had no guns. in california they had no guns. only the bad guys had the guns. every one of them. guns? guys -- >> could people carry it? >> if they want to they should be able, to it's going to be a lot safer. look at what's going on. we're going into these gun-free
3:45 am
how about the school a few months ago. gun-free school, gun-free area, you look at what happened. it was a disgrace. if people had guns -- how about the soldiers that were killed? six soldiers killed. champion marksmen on a military base. they're not allowed to carry their guns. and a whack job walks in and kills them. not right. so i am a believer in the second amendment. and you know, the bottom line is, the bad guys are always going to have the guns. we better do something about it. paris is one of the toughest cities in the world for guns. right? you can't get them. and you had carnage. >> why do you think people join isis in the united states? >> well, i think for one reason they're using the internet a lot better than we do. and they're brainwashing these kids.
3:46 am
>> the i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual? he said sure. but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists. with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean. oral-b know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush. your clever moves won't stop the cold and flu. but disinfecting with lysol can. lysol wipes and spray are approved to kill more types of germs than clorox. to help keep your family healthy,

3:48 am
>> is it a challenge to direct in china? >> yeah. it's a big challenge. mainly because i'm so old and stupid, i can't learn this beautiful language. >> reporter: director joseph graves, an american, says language is not the only hurdle. >> there is relatively sophisticated audiences in beijing and shanghai. but as we get out into other cities, a lot of the others don't know what musical theater is, often don't know what a play is. >> reporter: chinese opera, he points out, dates back thousands of years. but western musicals like "phantom of the opera," currently playing in beijing, and "avenue q," that's new. yung jaoming, ceo of seven ages, the company that brought it to china, sees business opportunity. >> at this time, chinese people are getting more and more money content. >> reporter: she wants to bring it to them and hopes china's
3:49 am
box office sales tripled in four years, from $1.5 billion in 2010 to $30 billion by 2014. >> when we were sitting watching the performance, i saw some of the ushers trying to get people to stop taking pictures. >> yes. we don't really have like a theatergoer -- habits or a tradition here. so we did a lot of work to tell them how you should behave in a theater. >> reporter: graves has seen audiences start to mature. he's directed more than 100 shows in china. how difficult is it to take a western show and make it something that can be appreciated by a chinese audience? >> it's pretty difficult. particularly with musical theater. because you've got rhymed lyrics. >> reporter: "avenue q," a coming of age story, uses
3:50 am
homosexuality to finding a job. and audience member lee chen said those themes are universal. >> they're young people, they're looking for their goal. >> their goal? >> their goal. this is like a normal problem to us. >> reporter: though graves said adapting the show for the chinese audience took some work. >> for instance, one of the musical numbers in "avenue q" is "everybody is a little bit racist." and racism in the sense that we would experience it in america doesn't really exist here. so we changed it to "everybody is a little bit provincial." that people from one province talk too loud, people from another province you've got to watch your money with them. those things chinese people joke about among each other. >> reporter: and this being china there's the added issue of censorship. shows have to be approved by censors in each city. >> what is it like going to the
3:51 am
