director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university at san bernardino thank you very much for being with us brian. let's get right to this we're hearing that the f.b.i. received information from russia that the older brother was a follower of radical islam now he was an allegedly still able to carry out these activities how is this possible well it's possible because in the united states actually following a violent ideology is constitutionally protected there used to be laws in the united states that made it a crime to advocate the destruction of the government however those laws were overturned by the supreme court decades ago so hat advocating violence in the abstract is constitutionally protected now we were able to speak to their mother and all mothers are going to hope that their sons are innocent but they can a she claims that the f.b.i. was actually controlling the activities of her elder son for the past five years even saying that they were set up what's your take. i don't know how to give credibility to something that is beyond the pale the f

at the same time, the city of san bernardino going through chapter 9, san bernardino is saying, yeah, we are going to cut our obligations to calpers. >> what do you make of the situation? the money's got to come from somewhere. everybody's got to participate or else in the end nobody gets paid. >> sure it does, absolutely. stockton has made a good faith effort to make cuts in a lot of different places. the fact what the judge said today is that pensions were not the problem. pensions were not what sent the city into bankruptcy. if you're a city manager, you're making thousands of budgetary decisions. >> how do you conclude that? maybe might have to face the cut at this point, right? i don't think you can draw that conclusion. >> well, what he had said. that was part of what he said. another thing he said, the wall street creditors seemed interested in one thing. only interested in negotiating with the city if they're willing to reform the pension system. he said they didn't seem like they were negotiating good faith. so that's a problem, as well. but i also want to sort of correct the

i spent about 28 years as a police officer for the city of san bernardino, california, about 80 miles outside los angeles. among other things i'm recognized as an expert on graffiti in california superior court. without reading all this i want to let you know that i am well rounded, i was supervisor of the unit to be supervisor of a multi agency dealing with it to being executive director for the entire state, california graffiti association of california. so i have a fair amount of background. i first became involved in graffiti back in 1991 when i was told in the gang unit that i was going to be a two-week assignment to deal with these guys called taggers. i continued until i retired so it was a long two weeks. a lot of times cities don't understand how deep the issue goes. i have had my card handed out, this is my phone number. i have absolutely no problem with people calling me any time to discuss graffiti issues, graffiti cases, any of that stuff, i am always available. that's why i put my card out there. so first off, before we get into the graffiti part we have to talk about th
