our success won't depend on tough talk or abandoning our values, or giving into fear. that's what groups like isil are hoping for. we cannot turn against one 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 a billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslim americans who reject their hateful ideology. >> major garrett is at the white house and new insight on why the president spoke last night. >> reporter: the views are in and lukewarm to be charitable and the white house was bracing for precisely that. why did the president give an oval office address that had no news or initiatives or ideas or

isis? the genesis of the speech started saturday here at the white house after the president met with his national security team, it was a consensus that this administration was losing control, losing grip on the entire national conversation about isis and the president needed to get involved in that conversation to try to accomplish three things. first, to convey to the nation that the campaign against isis is more muscular and more aggressive. there are more u.s. bombing runs and the british are now bombing in syria, there are troop commitments from germany and there is much greater intelligence sharing with the french. the president also wanted to address the gun control argument. even though the political climate on capitol hill was republicans in control of the house and senate remains hostile. the president believes the fact pattern in san bernardino strengthens not weakens his gun control argument and wanted to make that case. thirdly, most importantly, when you talk to people at the white house, the president believes the country could turn on itself and this message of tolerance for muslim americans is not just about that.

strategy. the president believes it is crucial that this country maintain good solid working relationships with the muslim community in this country, not just as an matter of tolerance, but as a matter of counterterrorism success, being able to detect and fill at any rate and potentially stop terrorist attacks before they start. there was a good deal of conversation about whether this president should give this address. today or possibly tonight. but the president wanted the largest prime time audience he could find, sunday was it. he knows the reviews are tepid but this president has long relied on speeches and ignored short-term analysis to play what we always talk about here at the white house as president obama's long game, whether it's rhetoric or strategy to defeat isis. >> major, thank you very much. investigators have new information this morning on the suspects in the san bernardino case. syed rizwan farook and his wife tashfeen malik killed 14 people

officials say they got their assault weapons from a former neighbor. carter evans is outside of emerging about the couple's apparent radicalization. syed rizwan farook met his wife in saudi arabia where she moved from pakistan. she was educated and trained as a pharmacist and those who knew her knew her as a modern girl who became deeply religious. investigators conducted 300 interviews and aren't discussing a motive for the terrorist attack. over the weekend we heard from farook's father.

saying -- later on sunday, farook's father told cbs news he never said that but he did confirm his son spoke about tensions with a colleague at the san bernardino health department. nicholas thalsin os was a jew. >> if my husband came in being radical i'm sure my husband had plenty to say to him. >> reporter: the assault rifles used in the attack have been traced to this man, marques. farook used to live next door. a neighbor recalls the two were good friends and went to high school school. >> when they worked on cars they were happying and you could see them jumping around and laughing. >> reporter: marques home was

cutting through theing another news conference this morning. charlie? >> thanks, carter. we have a new look this morning at the san bernardino shooters. a former coworker and college classmate is sharing ramp perspective on farook. david begnaud is in redlands, california, where the shooters lived. >> reporter: behind me is the apartment where farook, his wife and their 6 month joled-month-old baby girl lived. we know little people who know very much about farook specifically but you are about to hear from one man who knows probably more than anybody else and affair the shooting, he felt compelled to go to the fbi.

a lot of people think he was very quiet. i didn't get that impression of him. >> reporter: so this is new. because we have heard he was very quiet. >> huh-uh. >> reporter: really? >> very confident when he talked. there was times when we walked out of work in the morning and i couldn't get him to stop talking. >> reporter: chaz harrison met syed rizwan farook in college in 2008 and they later worked together and he said he watched him change over time. >> he liked to talk about cars a lot, taking things and building things, he'd like to talk about religion. a lot. he wanted to start a business. he wanted to just get a truck with some tools in there and go around and fix people's cars. so there was a point where he was definitely making long-term goals. >> reporter: here in the united states? >> yeah.

>> very. he had a good work relationship with everyone. >> reporter: with the people he shot? >> yeah. and that is what is puzzling, why? i always try to call him, as i called every single person that possibly could have been in that building to find out they were okay and i'm over here calling this guy to find out if he is okay and he is the shooter, you know? how do you -- >> reporter: you felt it was on your heart to go and speak to the fbi? >> i let the fbi know that he didn't want to be in the united states, but he told me him paying taxes was helping the united states support basically the war on islam, the war on muslims. >> reporter: what did you know about his wife? >> he was very secretive about his wife. he didn't want to reveal much

one of the first things i said, hey, you got a picture? he didn't have any pictures. he said she was very uncomfortable. everyone look at her instead of the way she dressed. >> reporter: harrison says farook told him he wanted to leave america because he didn't think he could practice his religion the way he wanted here. we were told he wanted to go to dubai but changed his minted at the -- mind at the last minute because he couldn't find a job. >> friends and family and strangers are honoring the 14 people killed in wednesday's shooting. mourners sang and prayed across the san bernardino area sunday. at church of the woods in lake arrowhead, members remembered one of their own. michael wetzel stood before the congregation last week and among those killed. the members were remembered at a islamic center in redland.

a new poll shows most americans want president obama to do more to fight isis. two-thirds say the military response is not aggressive enough. the new poll find more than half of americans support sending ground troops to iraq or sea. the san bernardino attack is shaking up the presidential campaign. julianna goldman is in washington with how the candidates are responding to the president's oval office address good morning. well, republican white house hopefuls were quick to blast the president's remarks last night, calling them cynical and partisan politics as usual. democratic front-runner hillary clinton says the president needs to be doing more to defeat isis. >> not only did the president not make things better tonight, i fear he may have made things worse. >> reporter: marco rubio responded to the president's remarks by calling for increased domestic surveillance and said victory against isis will require u.s. boots on the ground. >> there will be a necessity to significantly increase the

>> reporter: on ""face the nation"" donald trump stood by his support for tracking muslims in the u.s. >> i think there could be profiling. >> reporter: and called for tougher treatment of the families of suspected terrorists. >> i would certainly go after the wives who absolutely knew what was happening. and i guess your definition of what i do, i'm going to leave that to your imagination. >> reporter: some gop rivals, chris christie, said the recent attack highlighted the need to grant greater authority to u.s. intelligence agencies. >> if you give these people the tools, they will act constitutionally and they will prevent many, more attacks than will get through. >> reporter: rand paul, who has clashed with christie over the issue of surveillance, said the answer was restricting immigration. >> we have to be careful who comes here from the middle east. >> reporter: hillary clinton distanced herself from the president's counter isis strategy. >> we are not wing but too soon to say we are doing everything we need to do. >> reporter: but supported his decision to link the threat of

stricter gun laws. >> we should be able to approach both of these with some sense of, you know, unity about how we prevent terrorist attacks and how we prevent the wrong people from getting ahold of guns. >> reporter: republican candidates including tesd cruz say the california shooting have nothing to do with gun control. cruz tweeted after the speech if he was president he would make america safe by shutting down the immigration system that lets in jihadists and he would direct the pentagon to destroy isis. british police this morning are investigating a london stabbing attack as a terrorist incident. video shows a scary scene saturday inside a subway station. a man with a knife hurt two people and one seriously. witnesses say he shouted "this is for syria." police subdued the attacker with a taser and arrested him. he is charged with attempted murder.

syria. the justice department is expected to launch an investigation this week of chicago's police department. the wide ranging probe from the federal government comes amid allegations of a cover-up in the shooting death of a black teenager. it forced the police chief to resign. dean reynolds is outside of chicago police headquarters with new details of the investigation. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, even before the federal probe gets under way, the head of the local agency here, which is supposed to be looking into police conduct, has resigned and it's just the latest move in a spreading scandal that has shaken public trust in the cops. dash cam footage shows laquan mcdonald walking away from police before he is shot 16 times by officer jason van dyke. but at least four officers on the scene told investigators that mcdonald was moving towards van dyke. van dyke says mcdonald continued

him. even after mcdonald was shot, at least two officers claimed he was attempting to get up while still armed with the knife. but at no time does the video show the 17-year-old approaching the officers. van dyke is facing murder charges. and hundreds of demonstrators who lined the streets of chicago sunday are accusing police of a cover-up. a university of chicago study found that in more than 99% of the thousands of misconduct complaints against officers this year, no disciplinary action was ever taken. now the justice department will try to erm if there is a pattern of abuse. a probe mayor rahm emanuel recently thought last week was unnecessary. >> what i would first welcome is the inclusion of the existing investigation. i think an additional layer would be misguided. >> reporter: but he has since changed course. we welcome the gating of the department of justice, a

office said, as we work to restore trust in our police department. now, mayor emanuel and acting police superintendent john escanletante will have a police conference later today and addressing issues of police accountable. former president jimmy carter this morning says a brain scan has shown his cancer is gone. >> i have good news. >> reporter: he made the dramatic announcement sunday at church in his hometown of plains, georgia. melanoma had spread to his brain and he put his faith in god's hand. he continued to help builds home for habitat for humidity while having treatment. for the second time in two weeks, the nfl will investigate whether the rules to minimize

the kennedy center honors last night. >> it's the one night o othe year both democrara and republicans come together for the same cause, to find out if their tuxedos still fit. >> a new dating site has been launched and matches people who are both disney fans. it's the perfect w w for a lonely cinderella to meet her at best kumba. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we have new information about the couple who killed 14 peoe in san bernardino, california.. a former co-worker tells cbs news he believes syed rizwan farook didn't want to be in the united states. farook was an american who met his wife in saudi arab. >> tashfeen malik is h h name. she was trained as a pharmacist in her native pakistan. those who knew malik described her as a modern girl who became deeply religious. carter evans is in san bernardino where the

farook's friend and former neighbor. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. investigators have conducted morehan 300 interviews so far and they still aret at least public low rely releasing a motive. the assault rifles have been traced to enrique marquez. farook used to live next door to him and a neighborr said the two were good friends who went to high school together. over the weekend agents raided the marquez home twice, cutting through the garage door. a law enforcement source tells cbs news marquez purchased the guns legally inn california. they were later matt fiedodified to make them more powerful. after the massacre, marquez checked himself into a mental health facility and authorities are taking their tim with him because he may be the only credible eyewitness and they don't want to compromise his potential testimony. the source says authorities right now are analyzing gun shop surveillanceideo that show marquez and farook together.

planning another news conference so we should get a little more information. >> all right, carter, thankou so much. in a rare oval office speech last night president obama called the san bernardino massacre an act of terrorism. the president also vowed to destroy isis and said we will overcome any threat from terrorists. a large chunk of the president's speech focusedn values rather than any new policy. he urged americans not to reject an entire religion. >> we cant turn against one another by letting this fight be fined as a war between america and islam. that too is what groups like isil want. isil does not s sak for islam, they are thugs and killers,art of a cult of death, and they account for a tiny fraction of a more than a billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslim americans who reject their hateful ideology. but just as it is the

the world to rout out misguided ideas that lead to radicacazation, it is the responsibility of all americans, of every faith, to reject discrimination. let's make sure we never forget what makes us exceptional. let's nottorget thatt freedom is more powerful than fear. >> gop presidential front-runner donald trump was quick to respond to the president's address. shortly after the speech he tweeted this. well, obama refused t tsay, he just can't say it, that we are at war with radical islamic terrorists. marco rubio says the president's refusal to call this a war on radical islam was disappointing. we will defeat them. it will not be easy, it will take time, but we will defeat them. but it starts by acknowledging to the american people that indeed we are at war, and we are at war with radical islamic jihadists who are also terrorists but motivated by their view of islam.

>> early in the day democratic front-runner hillary clinton explained why she would not use the term "radical islam." >> number one, it doesn't do justice to the vast numbers of muslims in our own country and around the world who are peaceful people. number two, it helps to create is clash of civilizations that is actually a recruiting tool for isis and other radical jihadists who use this as a way of saying we're in a war against the west. you must join us. if you are a muslim, you must join us. no. if you're a law-abiding, peace-loving muslim, you need to be with us against those who are distorting islam. >> clinton says in addition to fighting isis with the military, the united states must attack them online. >> all right. he spent six months swimming more than 2,000 miles along one of america's longest rivers.
