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 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. 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 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 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 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

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. pure tolerance. but it is a counterterrorism 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.

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 assault weapons from a former neighbor. carter evans is outside of the shooting in san bernardino looking at why and how the couple carried out this attack. good morning, carter. >> reporter: good morning. the inland regional center where the massacre closed will be closed through tuesday but people were allowed to go back

survivors are still struggling why their coworker fired on them and new details are 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. the newspaper quoted him 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

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 laughing. >> reporter: marques home was raided on twice over the weekend cutting through the garage door. marques checked himself into a mental health facility right after the massacre. a source also tells cbs news they are now analyzing surveillance video from gun shops that show marques and farook together. the fbi is planning another news conference this morning. charlie? >> thanks, carter. we have a new look this morning at the san bernardino shooters.

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. >> syed was a talker. 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.

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. >> reporter: how religious was he? >> 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

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 about his wife. 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.

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. 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 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

president's oval office address last night. good morning. >> reporter: 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 operators. >> 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

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 terrorism with the need for 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

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. last week, britain began air strikes against isis targets in 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

>> 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 to advance and swung a knife at 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.

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 spokesperson for the mayor's 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

what are you doing when you're in the water physically doing it? >> when i'm actually in the water, i really think about the different times i've met with these families and i've had the privilege to meet these gold star families and the stories they tell me. the next opportunity i have to meet another one and hear the legacy of their loved one and carry it with me down the river. >> i can't imagine you thought about ever giving up. >> no. >> never? >> no. because, you know, at the end of the day, the difficulty and the burden i have carrying, swimming every day is going to be over. the burden these families have is with them the rest of their lives. >> you want people to understand what a gold star family is? >> raise awareness for the gold star family. not enough know what it is. gold star families lost a loved one in the service of the country and these families pay that ultimately sacrifice so other families don't have to. don't know and say congratulations on being a gold star family and that is no one wants to hear that. >> no one wants to be a gold star family and nobody wants to be in.

those you served with. how important is that? and what do we need to remember about those who served and sacrificed? today. we can do what we can do to sacrifice. everything we have is because of the sacrifice they paid. so, you know, for me doing this challenge, it was very humbling and i feel lucky and privileged to take it on and meet the awesome families and hear their stories and keep it with me and raise awareness. these families pay the sacrifice and should not have those awkward times, so being able to meet with them and hear the stories of their loved ones and raise awareness for who they were as a person has been amazing and it will be with me the rest of my life. >> your dad told us this experience changed you. how so? >> it was awesome that he has been -- was able to be with me such a long period of time long. being together and rekindle our relationship together makes us more open. before, being apart so long and

together and be more open with each other and strengthen the relationship we had. >> do you think the country is doing enough? >> do i think the country is doing enough? >> for wounded warriors. >> wounded warriors, we focus more on the fallen heroes. raising awareness for them is the biggest aspect. so really the goal is that you can walk up to anybody on the street and ask them what a gold star family, they will know what it is. that is the biggest aspect and really just honoring these heroes. that one of the reasons we do an extreme challenge but to honor how they lived their lives. >> keep their legacies alive. >> were you a strong swimmer before this? >> absolutely not. >> how can you say that? you were a navy s.e.a.l.! >> my past is not the important thing. the focus is, you know, just we want to it to be difficult. awesome expert swimmer, then it wouldn't be a challenge. i want it to be difficult.
