7:02 am
that will throw a flag. security guy behind the goalpost. that woman is going, what the hell? nouncer: this portioioof "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places! welcome to "cbs this morning." president obama says a terror attack in san bernardino, california, shows terrorism is in a new phase. in a prime time speech last night, he said america will overcome the threat. >> the president's address was his first from the oval office in five years. he laid out his plan to defeat isis, also known as isil. he also urged americans to remember the country's values. >> we will destroy isil and any other organization that tries to harm us. 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.
7:03 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 a billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslim americans who reject theirir hateful ideology. >> major garrett is at the white house and new insight on why the president spoke last night.t. >eporter: the views aren 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 military strategies against 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
7:04 am
control,l,osing grip on thehe 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 french. the president also wanted to argument. even though the political climate on capitol hall was republicans in control of the 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. but it is a counterterrorism the president believes it is crucial that this country maintain good solid working
7:05 am
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 and wounded 21 others. officials say they got their

7:10 am

7:11 am
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 minteteat the -- mind at the last minunu because he c cldn'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 cocoregation last weekknd among those killed. the members were remembered at a islamic center in redland. they called for peace and understanding at a service. a new poll shows most americans want president obama to do more to fight isis. two-thirds say the military
