. 65 separate incidents and 55 unique jccs that were targeted.on this. there are challenges to the investigation, even though the fbi has terrific technology and terrific man mauer to tackle this, the challenge has been that the technology is a step ahead. >> meaning the technology of the hate groups that are doing this, what technology are they using that's a step a ahead of the fbi. >> they're using the technology which masks the caller, distorts the voice. but also technology which spoofs the phone number. when the calls are received by the jcc, it looks as if it's coming from inside the building. >> that's horror movie stuff. >> exactly. >> what's causing the uptick? >> i want to be careful. we have to avoid easy answers any time you ask about the why. there's a lot of layers. certainly the part we can't ignore is that the campaign for some reason released this ugly pandora's box of bias that targeted not just jews, but many minority groups. that's been of grave concern to us. >> it's your belief that somehow the rhetoric during this campaign

jcc threats, cemetery desecration and online attacks are so troubling and they need to be stopped. everyone must speak out, starting with the president of the united states. and cnn's sara murray is live at the white house. so this was pretty extraordinary to see this. what your hearing from the white house about why president trump really chose in very clear terms to make this statement today? >> well, i think it was extraordinary only because we've seen such a tepid response from the president to this point. and especially when you even stack itp compared to how his own family members have been responding. i want show you what ivanka trump said about this yesterday, a day before her father weighed in so strongly. she tweeted, america is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. we must protect our houses of worship and religious centers. she did this a full day before her father appeared at the african-american museum and made these comments about anti-semitism. this is something the president struggled throughout the campaign. he always had a difficult time. it too

last month as well similar bomb threats at jccs. than a week ago in st. louis at a jewish cemetery there, vandalism similar to what we are seeing here in philadelphia. jake. >> alison, we should point out we're seeing the larger communities rallying around these targeted populations. we have seen many muslim-americans helping rebuild the jewish cemeteries. >> you are exactly right. people from all faiths are coming together to support the jewish community. you mentioned the muslim community. they are especially coming out. what happened in st. louis, a muslim community activist started a crowd-funding site and raised $130,000 so far to go toward restoring that cemetery in st. louis. and some of that money is expected to trickle down here in philadelphia. i talked to one muslim-american today who travelled two hours from new york to philadelphia, not necessarily to lend his money but to lend a hand in the cleanup. listen to what he had to say. >> this could be our cemetery. this could be our grandparents who have been attacked, and t

when the calls are received by the jcc it looks as if the calls are coming from within the building.ls so far have turned out to be hoaxes. here is empowering news with all of these hate crime reports this weekend. these images posted on social media from a rider on the new york city subway. passengers noticed the swastika drawings and anti-semitic words on advertisements. one person remembered, hey, alcohol helps get sharpie out. so riders banded together. they used tissues and hand sanitizer and started scrubbing the subway car to get rid of the graffiti. i talked to one of the riders who told me he hopes this is a perfect example of what we have to do, come together, fight this and resist the hate. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> tomorrow you'll hear from senators bernie sanders of vermont and ted cruz of texas. they'll debate the future of obamacare. hear perspectives from democrats and republicans over what may happen to the program in addition to questions from moderators, senators sanders and cruz will take questions from a live audience, people affected positively an

we do know there are some similarities for the threats that were called into jccs. person on the line is using masking technology to disguise their voices. one caller was described as sounding like an older woman, then the one today in san diego, that threat was actually sent via e-mail. the dozens of threats have all been false alarms so there is some good news, but they certainly changed security measures at centers all across the country. and really the habits of the people who visit them. police scoured the scene at the san diego jewish community center today as the bomb threat forced evacuations for the second time this year. police say the center received an e-mail late last night indicating an explosive was inside, but none was found. >> knowing that they were evacuating the building and searching for possible bombs is obviously very disconcerting when you're sending a child to this. >> reporter: it is just the latest in a recent rash of disruptive false alarms targeting the jewish community. >> somebody, it seem like, has put together some sort of concerted

yesterday the anti defamation league, the jcc and palo alto and ocean ma rain jcc had to evacuate. we brought this to you at 5:00 last night. there is fear growing in the community. >> to have to have them be evacuated is terrorizing and fear inducing. it is a very serious matter. >> 20 bomb threats were called in yesterday alone. no explosives were found in any of. >>> we are getting word that police in the south bay are investigating the attack of a young man not far from santa clara university. as the woman was walking on lafayette street, police say she was sexually assaulted. they are not saying what happened other than the woman was not harmed. she is a santa clara university student. they have not released a suspect sketch. >>> mobile homes red-tagged after they started to slide down the hill and into the creek. this happened on church lane. this park has had similar issues in the past as well. san pablo police are teaming up with the red krorb to find facilities for the families that are affected. >> oroville dam shut down the outflows. they will remain closed forcing the l
