let's go in depth right now with our law enforcement analyst, tom fuentes, the former fbi accident director, and our cnn justice reporter, evan perezouple were, in fact, openly expressing a commitment to jihad in these private exchanges, as opposed to facebook or some public exchange, could the fbi or some other law enforcement or intelligence service actually have monitored that? >> if they had probable cause, wolf, to go and get a court order to do either under national security law or criminal law, a wiretap on them, yeah, fine, but that requires a legal decision and approval from a judge. that's not political correctness, that's law. >> so the fbi director, evan, is also contradicting what republicans on the debate stage said last night, that the couple had posted on social media, so, how significant of a shift is this? >> well, it's a big deal for the fbi to try to make this clear, wolf. because one of the criticisms that frankly, even they were very concerned about at the beginning, they thought, well, look, you have a terrorist attack that occurs in this country, especially one with someone who recently emigrated to this cou

let's bring in evan perez, law enforcement analyst tom fuentes and bepeter burgen and evan.ning the fbi has been able to glean a lot more information from the communications of farook and his wife. as you remember, they tried their best to hide tracks, electronic tracks and smashed two cell phones found in a garbage can outside their home when the fbi searched it. the fbi has not been able to break into that device nor have they been able to recover a hard drive from a computer found inside the home, however, they have been able to retrieve data from a computer tablet and from a couple of other cell phones fun insi found inside the home. they have data collected and u.s. intelligence is able to collect a lot of information of communications overseas and they have also been able to get some from providers from accounts these people were able to use. that's one reason the fbi director today in the senate talked about these specific communications that date back to the late 2013 in which farook and his future bride were discussing jihad and martyr and that's one of the reasons

perez. the former fbi assistant director and analyst tom fuentes and bob baer and terrorism analyst paul cruickshankou can't really fight the spread of isis without defeating them significantly on the battle field in both iraq and syria. how significantly does isis need to be diminished on the ground for that to work? >> oh, i think it has to be absolutely we just simply can't bomb them. we have to look at the support they are getting around the gulf, saudi arabia and pakistan as long as this movement is being funded it will exist. the only way to end this thing is bring the conflict from the middle east to a conclusion and that should be our main concern. the bombing again will not do it alone. >> if the u.s. and its allies, paul, eventually do beat them on the battle field, does that also destroy and defeat the ideology? >> short answer no but i think it will significantly degrade the power of the ideology, wolf, because isis' appeal is based on the idea of winning, of victory and holding territory as a big part of that. makes supporters around the world believe god is on their side and gives isis

perez, thanks so much. i want to get more with former fbi assistant director and enforcement analyst tom fuentes. when we look at that threat in munich where we have officials closing two train stations, it is a very busy time. what kind of information would they have gotten that would have prompted them to do that? >> i think in this case, p brianna, it has to happen tonight, name names who is going to do it and maybe they went out to look for individuals, maybe find them and believe they might be out in the street on the process of carrying out an attack. that's major concern. one of the biggest difference is why this year is so much different is that we've had al qaeda issue over the years, okay, followers do an attack and isis over the last couple years do an attack. wherever you are not world, go ahead and attack. what is different now is that isis has a couple thousand zombies all over the world that when they get these things they go out. who would have expected san bernardino. who would expect rodchester new york. you might expect times square or washington d.c. could be anywhere and coul
