news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jeff glor. president obama hadn't addressed the nation from the oval office in over five years. that changed last night. the president said the terrorist threat has evolved into a new phrase but he says the u.s. will overcome. this as he updated the in san bernardino in a primetime speech. it was the first time the president had spoken from the oval office since august 2010 when the u.s. combat mission ended in iraq. major garrett is at the white house with details, major? >> reporter: good evening, jeff. the president knows the country is on edge. as worried as it ever has been about the malevolent and murderous influence of isis here in america. the president did not outline any new military strategy to defeat isis, merely summarized the ongoing campaign in iraq and syria. he made it clear to the country what he believes happened in san bernardino. >> the fbi is still gathering the facts about what happened in

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 perverted interpretation of islam that calls for war against america and the west. they had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition and pipe bombs. so this was an act of terrorism. designed to kill innocent people. >> the president called on congress to tighten gun control and visa restrictions and he said congress ought to provide him legal authority to carry out the military campaign against isis. and in the last part of the speech, the president emphasized american values are also at stake in this and urged americans not to turn against muslim americans.

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 more than 1 billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslim americans who reject 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

there's a real problem that muslims must confront without excuse. 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 betrayal of our values, plays

isil. >> the president also said in addition to betraying american values that kind of isolating of muslim americans or stigmatizing them undermines u.s. counterterrorism efforts. >> major garrett at the white house, thank you. we are learning much more about the couple that carried out wednesday's massacre in san bernardino. their radical views and just how they got their assault rifles. here's carter evans. >> reporter: from pakistan to america, there are new details about how tashfeen malik and syed rizwan farook became radicalized. both were quiet students. both became deeply religious. today we heard from farook's father at his southern california home. the elder syed farook told an italian newspaper, my son said he shared isis leader al baghdadi's ideology and supported a creation of the islamic state. he was also obsessed with

tensions with a jewish colleague at the san bernardino health department. nicholas that will lasinos was among the 14 killed. his wife said her husband, a messianic jew, was outspoken about his support for israel. >> they worked in the same department, both health inspectors. knowing my husband, if there was something said or he came in being very radical, i'm sure my husband had plenty to say to him. >> reporter: investigators still have no clear motive for the attack, other than to say it was terrorism. farook met his wife in saudi arabia where she had moved from pakistan. those who knew her called tashfeen malik a modern girl who became deeply religious, never an extremist. today tashfeen's uncle's home in pakistan was padlocked and abandoned and authorities are telling everyone to stay away. the fbi is now trying to piece together what turned them to terror, to massacre 14 and wound 21 others before dying in a hail of gunfire.

have now been traced to the home of enrique marquez, next door to where farook once lived. agents were at the house this afternoon, carting away a cardboard box after raiding the home early saturday morning. a source also tells cbs news they're analyzing gun store surveillance videos, showing both marquez and farook together. the two men attended the same high school and were close, says neighbor lorena. >> he would go with syed and work on the cars, they were happy, joked around, you could see them laughing. they spent the whole day, stay there until almost nighttime. that went on for years. >> they were good friends? >> they were good friends, i would have to say, for at least a good seven years. >> reporter: marquez hasn't been seen in the neighborhood since the shooting. law enforcement sources say he checked himself into a mental health facility shortly after the attack. marquez was employed as a security guard and a law enforcement source tells us he has not been interviewed yet. authorities are taking their

the only credible witness and they want to make sure they don't jeopardize his future testimony. >> carter evans, thank you. "cbs overnight news" will be

david begno spoke with an old friend of syed farook who witnessed his troubling changes. >> i was trying 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's okay, and he's the shooter. you know, it's very difficult. >> reporter: chazz harrison, former co-worker and college classmate of mass shooter syed rizwan farook. >> syed was a talker. a lot of people think he was very quiet. i didn't get that impression. >> tell me some of what you told the fbi.

religion. i let the fbi know that. he didn't want to be in the united states. he had planned on leaving the united states. there was several occasions where i thought he was going to be leaving the united states. >> where did he want to move to? >> he wanted to move to dubai. >> what definitely did he tell you about not wanting to be in the u.s.? >> syed didn't want to be in the united states because he told me him paying taxes was helping the united states support basically the war on islam. >> what did you know about his wife? >> was very secretive about his wife. he didn't want to reveal much about his wife. i can see he wasn't really comfortable speaking about her. what he did tell me is that she

and he also told me that she didn't want to be here neither. >> did you ever think he would do that? >> never. never talked about wanting to hurt americans. syed's thing was he had to leave here because he couldn't live here. he never talked about harming americans. >> he hated living in america that much? >> i'm not saying hated. he's just saying that he couldn't be here. and practice his religion the way i felt like maybe he wanted to. >> harrison says farook last called him about four months ago. in previous conversations farook confided his wife was uncomfortable in the u.s. because people would stare at her based on what she wore, a hijab, a dress that shields just about everything on a woman's body except her eyes. >> david begnaud in los angeles. this was another day of

friends, family and complete strangers came together to honor the 14 victims killed on wednesday. john blackstone has more on that. >> reporter: in churches across the san bernardino region today, congregations lifted their voices in prayer and sorrow. >> today i'm going to be talking about evil, how evil can touch anyone, anywhere, at any given time. >> reporter: at st. catherine of sienna, the tragedy took one of their own. yvette velasco, 27, was one of those killed. >> she sat in these pews, the same ones we're sitting in. that hit close to home. >> reporter: the deaths hit close at church of the woods in lake arrowhead. last sunday mike wetzel stood before this congregation with >> this is our gingerbread carly who's in "the nutcracker" next week. >> reporter: wednesday, wetzel was killed. >> mike wetzel served the lord.

>> reporter: the victims were remembered too at a mosque today. the setting of an interfaith service, bringing a community in pain together. at the kingdom culture worship center, pastor sherman dumas has been providing prayers and comfort from minutes after the shooting began on wednesday. he was with families as they reunited with those who survived the massacre. reunions were amazing. there were also people there you didn't see. >> that was the hard part. in those moments all we can do is be that shoulder for them to lean on. there's no words for those moments. all we can do is be a community and stand with one another. >> reporter: many prayers were offered at churches but even one pastor said more than prayer will be needed to prevent more tragedies like this. >> john blackstone, thank you. the justice department is expected to announce a civil rights investigation into the chicago police department. cbs news has confirmed what's called a pattern or practice investigation could be announced as early as this week amid

mark zuckerberg and his wife made headlines last week, pledging to donate 99% of their facebook shares, the stock worth $45 billion right now. some have been critical of the move. here to explain, cbs news and business analyst jill schlessinger, first of all why the backlash? >> this is about the way they formed this organization. most people have a charitable organization, 501 c 3. zuckerberg formed something called a limited liability company. it offers more flexibility. yes that company can give to charity, it can also make donations to politicians, to lobbyists, can invest in

the credits are saying it's not subject to irs rules about charity, they don't even have to give away a certain percentage of their assets every year. >> on the subject of the irs, tax advantages here? >> yes and no. it was interesting, zuckerberg defended this position saying, i'm not a tax dodger and he's right. an llc, whether it gives money to charity or he himself gives to it charity, there's a tax deduction. there's this talk about, he's giving appreciated shares in facebook and he won't pay tax. that would be the case if any of us did that with a mutual fund that we own. so it's not a tax dodge, he's right. there are tax advantages always to giving to charity. >> whatever you think of it, this does seem to be a new 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

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 "the miracle." american legends gathered tonight for the kennedy center honors starting with a reception at the white house. actress cicely tyson is among the honorees, along with actress and dancer rita moreno, filmmaker george lucas, and singer smash songwriter carol king. the ceremony will air december 29th here on cbs. a pioneer of the american kitchen has passed away. chuck williams, founder of williams sonoma, he started the

it has been a lean time for the nation's orchestras. the old classics aren't filling seats like they used to. some orchestras are taking inspiration from a newer source. here's omar villafranca. >> reporter: it may seem impossible to get gamers off the sofa but a recent performance drew hordes to the dallas symphony orchestra. they came to hear music from their favorite video game, "the legend of zelda." organized in a four-movement symphony. >> how are you doing tonight? >> reporter: the show's producer, jason paul, spent years producing concert tours for opera legend luciano pavarotti. in japan he discovered how

there and thought maybe they could catch on in the u.s. >> when did you know, this is going to click? >> after i first did it in 2004. it was an instant success. it was a virtual riot at the box office. now we're at an all-time high. >> reporter: he says most of the shows on his international zelda tour have been sold out. including this one. fans in dallas bought 3,000 tickets and spent $10 each on souvenirs. that's a promising note because symphony orchestras in the u.s. could use the business. the percentage of americans attending classical music events dropped by 29% from 1982 to 2008. a small increase in ticket sales over the past five years hasn't been enough to undo the damage. >> symphony orchestras have to take a look at what are the audience demands? >> reporter: katherine cahill is ceo of the mann center in philadelphia. she says zelda and pokemon concerts have brought up to 6,000 fans.

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 massacre in san bernardino as an act of terrorism. shortly before syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik opened fire, tashfeen 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. >> on wednesday 14 americans 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.

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 perverted interpretation of 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 worked around the clock to keep us safe. our military and counterterrorism professionals have relentlessly pursued terrorist net works 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 has evolved into a new phase. 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

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. whether that individual is motivated by isil or some other hateful ideology. what we can do and must do is make it harder for them to kill.

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 both 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. let me now say a word about what we should not do. we should not be drawn once more into a long and costly ground war in iraq or syria.

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. 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 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 excuse. muslim leaders here and around the globe have to continue working with us to decisively and unequivocally reject the

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 betrayal of our values, plays into the hands of groups like isil. muslim americans are our friends and our neighbors. our co-workers, our sports

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. and may god bless the united states of america. >> "the cbs overnight news" will ter.

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 tougher on 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. how do you stop this from 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

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 that 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 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 too. i think certainly so. i came out with i want vigilance. i want real vigilance. whether it's mosques or whatever it has to be. 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.

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 better be -- i use the word vigilance. we have to show vigilance, we have to have it. if we don't we're foolish people. we're really -- we're being led by people that don't know what's 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

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 muslims. the criticism of you is that you are playing on fears that people have -- >> no, i'm playing on common sense. 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.

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. and i guess your definition of 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.

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 r 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 mind dying. 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?
