They will play there tonight in an act of joyous defiance. Before they left for france, i talked to the politically minded rock legends about terror from the ira to isis. How their music fights evil and how we should all respond to terrorism but also to the refugees from those war torn regions. This idea of only take christian refugees, this is not the american idea. Also, one of americas most important allies. The super star of revolutions of 1989 has taken a dangerous turn toward authoritarianism. Its a story we should all be paying attention to. First, heres my take. The most recent act of horrific violence this america in san bernardino, california was perpetrated by a muslim man and woman. There are around three million muslims in the United States. Almost all of whom are lawabiding citizens. How should they react to the actions of the couple that killed 14 people this week . The most commonly heard response is that muslims Must Immediately and condemn these acts of bar barty. She made her case to nbc chuck todd after the paris attack. When you look at the majority of terrorist attacks in the United States, according to the fbi, the majority of domestic terrorist attacks are committed by white male christians. When those things occur, we dont suspect other people who share their faith and ethnicity of condemning them. We assume these things outrage them just as much as anyone else. We have to afford that same assumption of innocence to muslims. Muslims do face a double standard. I understand why. They dont just happen to be muslim. They claim to be motivated by religion, cite religious justifications and tell their fellow muslims to follow in their bloody path. There are groups around the world spreading this and trying to seduce muslims to become terrorists. In these circumstances its important for the majority of muslim who is profoundly disagree with jihad to speak up. Its important to remember that it is an overwhelming majority who disagree. There are 1. 6 billion muslims on the planet. If you took the total number of deaths from all terrorism last year, around 30,000, and assume that 50 muslims were involved in planning each one, a vast exaggeration, it would still add up to less than 0. 1 of the worlds muslims. While i do believe that muslims bear a special responsibility to speak up, nonmuslims have a responsibility not to make assumptions based on such a small minority. Individuals should be judged as individuals and not under group characteristic. Its dehumanizing and unamerican to do otherwise. Americans view a muslim as someone who is actively propagating some dangerous ideology like a communist activist. Its not just donald trump. Republican candidates are vying with each other to make declarations about islam and all muslims. Its not just on the right. The Television Personality and outspoken liberal bill mah are, made the broad generalization, if youre in this religion, you probably do have values that are at odds with american values. What is most bizarre is to hear this antimuslim rhetoric described as brave truth telling. Trump insists he will not be silenced on the issue. Chris christie says he will not follow a politically correct National Security policy. They are simply feeding a prejudice. The reality is that muslims today are the most despised minority in american. Theyre faith is constantly criticized. They face insult, discrimination and a dramatic rise in acts of violence against them as max fisher has detailed. The leading republican candidate has flirted with the idea of registering all muslims, a form of collective punishment thats not been seen since japanese americans in the 1940s. Its the first time that i can recall watching politicians pander to mobs and congratulate themselves for their political courage. For more go to cnn. Com fareed and read my post this week. Lets get started. Well get to my exclusive interviews with susan rice, the National Security advisor and b bono and the edge of u2 in a moment. I want to first tackle the shooting in san bernardino, california and the shooters connection with isis. I want to bring in my colleague who was part of the cnn team that broke the story of the female attackers pledge of allegiance to isis. Explain why the fbi is investigating this as an act of terror. The fbi says they have good reason to do so. Now we have details on what the reasons are. One, this facebook posting, a pledge of allegiance to the isis leader by the wife. Tashfeen as this attack was under way. Significant in its own right because we know theres prese e precedence for this. The male suspect had contact with known suspects. Thats been shown in the past as a path not only to radicalization but those contacts have proceeded people who have chosen to go carry out acts of terror. The final reason is the most obvious, the enormous arsenal they amassed. As well as more than a dozen pipe bombs that looked similar to design to those recipes put out there by groups. What are they looking at in terms of figuring out what really strikes me as this puzzle of what exactly radicalized this couple . Its still a subject of investigation. As you know thats often complicated story with multiple threads. They are looking at multiple threads. One that they are looking at is the wife was the instigator of this. They dont know it because colleagues and family said he changed. Became more conservative after he married her. That said, other families have said that the change occurred before they were married. Thats still a path of inquiry. Thanks. Terrific reporting. Next, an exclusive interview with president obamas National Security advisor, susan rice. My. Why would i stay in someone elses house . But this morning, a city ive never been to felt like one i already knew. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your world with me. It felt like home. Airbnb. Belong anywhere. I think when people hear about i think its important for, everyone to know that there is so much more to memory support than the stigmas you hearabout. That these residents still have lives and their lives still matter and that they are still living their lives. That theyre not locked away and that they still have a lot to live for, you know, that they have people that care about them and they have people that love them and i love them, so their lives still matter. That is what i do this for. While youre watching this, im hacking your company. Grabbing your data. Stealing your customers secrets. Theres an army of us. Relentlessly unpicking your patchwork of security. Think youll spot us . You havent so far. The next wave of the internet requires the next wave of security. Were ready. Are you . Lets get to our first interview of the show. Susan rice has been the security advisor for more than two years. She was the u. S. Representative at the u. N. When i sat down with ambassador rice on thursday, much was still unknown about the shootings in san bernardino. The topic of terror was at the top of mind. Ambassador rice, thank you for joining me. Great to be with you. Does paris represent some kind of new heightened level of activity . Are you noticing or hearing more chatter or different kinds of plots . With the caveat that im not going to get into intelligence information, i think its fair to say that weve seen indications for some while that isil has increasing capability to execute attacks outside of iraq and syria. Indeed, if you recall we saw earlier attacks in brussels, belgium. We saw attempts elsewhere in paris. Of course, in recent weeks weve seen the isil affiliate take down the russian aircraft as well as attacks in beirut, lebanon and elsewhere. Paris was particularly shocking and multifacetted attack. I think its inline with what we have seen to be isils capability that is growing to project violence outside of the iraq and syria theaters. Is it fair to say that the president and the administration underestimated isis wh . We have been on top of the threat since the summer of 2014 when isil made a significant move to take territory in iraq. From that point on, we have acted milltarially but not just militarily. We built diplomatically a coalition of 65 countries. We had worked to cut off isils source of revenue and financing through an active counter Financing Campaign and now through trying to take out their Oil Production and distribution network. Weve tried to counter the flow of foreign fighters into syria and iraq. Weve done that in partnership with dozens of countries who strengthen their laws and regulations. Are you making fronts . You hear people saying we should be bombing the oil fields. We are. We are. On the recruits. It does seem like they continue to get recruits. They are continuing to get recruits. Theres no question. What is a positive step and this is going to have to be a constant battle is that we are increasingly seeing countries around the world trying to intradict their own citizens before they leave. We see improvements in countries like turkey which are front line states for which the foreign fighters have flowed cutting off the passage routes for those who have come in from elsewhere. Hillary clinton says that she thinks the administrations policy towards isis needs to be intensified and in particular, you need to have a nofly zone and create safe havens. Why is she wrong . We agree and we are intensifying our strategy and accelerating our efforts with isil. We have been constantly assessing and revising and improving our strategy from the time we began summer of 2014. Well before the events of the last few weeks we were in process of deciding and the president did decide to a number of enhancements that have been announced. The special Operations Forces and limited and tactical ways in syria working to close off the border. It will enable us to go after high value targets and other opportunities to collect and take advantage of intelligence. We are doing a number of things that are building on what we have found works and where we have seen the things dont work, we have let them weve divested them from our strategy. We are intensifying and accelerating. With respect to nofly zones and safe areas, this is something we have looked at very carefully and repeatedly including recently. While they are certainly arguments that could be make for the humanitarian benefits. Frankly, they are not black and white and can come back to that. They are not, in our estimation, the most effective and proximate thing we can do to counter isil. They are resource intensive. They dont get to the problem of taking back territory from isil. Plus, they require tens of thousands of troops on the Ground Holding territory. If youre going to have a safe zone. What do you do about this process of selfradicalization where isil has for social media, propagate its message and somewhere somebody in some basement is getting selfradicalized and goes out and kills a bunch of people. Thats a very real challenge. Its one that proceeded isil. Ive presumed it will be one that will endure beyond isil and its defeat. What isil has done, perhaps more effectively of some of its predecessors is utilized social media. The other thing thats attracted foreign fighters is this methodology of the caliphate. Were focusing on shrinking the space that isil controls and defeating them in that space is substantially to deal with the attractiveness to some extremists of the concept of caliphate. This will have to be a multifacetted endevour. Its going to take time. Its going to have to be substantially focused in iraq and syria but not exclusively. We are seeing isil evolve in other parts of the world and discussed our effort to address it in places like libya. Were also working to address it in places like nigeria where boka haram, has taken up the isil mantle. Next, i will ask ambassador rice about the United Statess strange relations with Vladmir Putin and russia, and just what was putin saying to her and president obama in this picture. Hi, tom. Hey, hows the College Visit . You remembered. Its good. Does it make the short list . You remembered that too. Yea, im afraid so. Knowing our clients personally is what we do. Its okay. This is what weve been planning for. Thanks, bye. And with over 13,000 financial advisors, we do it a lot. Its why edward jones is the big company that doesnt act that way. I love working in the salinas area becauseriselda zendejas. I always wanted to do something where i could help people around me. So being a construction supervisor for pg e gives me the opportunity to give a little bit back to my community. I have three boys. Theyre what keep me going every day. Our friends, families live in the area. And it is important for all of us that we keep our community safe. Together, were building a better california. Back now with susan rice. Shes president obamas National Security advisor. Listen in. Theres this photograph, very intriguing photograph of you, president obama, Vladmir Putin and i assume a translater huddled around a coffee table. What was he saying to you . It was an extended conversation of almost a half hour. We were talking about these very issues of what needs to happen to move forward in syria. Does russia have the same interest as the United States in that conversation . No. We dont have identical interests, obviously. There are some overlapping interests. The challenge is can we maximize our area of overlapping interest. We think that the russians do share an interest, ultimately, following the experience with their aircraft in weakening isil. They are investing at this point in propping up assad. They think the way to fight isil is to have a strong government in damascus under assad. We think the way to fight isil is to have a legitimate government and we think assad, by virtue of killing hundreds of thousands of his own citizens has lost all legitimacy. He has to go. The majority population who are sunni in syria feel they have an opportunity to govern, not exclusively but proportionate to their population if thats how they choose to vote. The challenge is not so much in terms of agreeing on the ends. Its agreeing on the means. We still have some significant differences on the means. President s been very clear. He would welcome russia playing an effective role in going exclusively after isil. Russia is going a little bit after isil but mostly going after the other elements of the opposition that directly threaten the assad regime. Final question, in the last year youve had what studies seem to show is a 50 of increase in the number of deaths through terrorism. You have russia not just in the middle east but the ukraine refusing to abide by the terms of the ceasefire. You have boka haram. Does the world feel more dangerous to you than when he you began your job as National Security advisor . I dont know if it feels more dangerous, but its unsettled. Were dealing with very significant threats as we have been discussing throughout the course of the interview. I think also theres more to whats going on in the world than the instability and the terrorist interest as important and critical as that is. The United States has been dealing with a number of leadership challenges. In every instance even as were dealing with these proximate threats, were trying to exert leadership in the way that makes the world more safe. We have led the world to where we are hoping to get to in paris with respect to combatting Climate Change. It was the United States, staking out ambitious targets s, partnering with china. This led to 180 nations around the world putting forward very significant commitments that taken collectively will have a Significant Impact on Climate Change. It was the United States that brought the world together to deal with the ebola outbreak. Thats something well have to be vigilant about, what could have been a massive Global Health challenge is largely snuffed out. That was u. S. Leadership. We have led the world to come to an agreement with iran to ensure that iran does not acquire nuclear weapon. Something that will keep our allies in the region and all of us safer. It ends 50 years of a failed policy. Around the world, even as were having to deal with these significant challenges of the sort that weve been talking about, we have also within working to enhance and ensure americans long term security whether from pandemic disease or Climate Change or increasing Economic Opportunity through things like tpp. This challenge is dealing with all these things simultaneously, making sure that were on top of the threats but also not losing sight of the opportunities and getting as far as fast as we can on seizing those opportunities. Ambassador susan rice pleasure to have you on. Good to be with you. Next, why the world should be extremely worried about the direction of one of americas staunchest allies. Its the story thats been flying mostly under the radar. We will bring it to you next. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. I earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy for my studio. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business.

Eastern european revolutions of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Once a basket case the economy has grown more than any other country in the entire European Union since the fall of communism according to the economists. Its been a model citizen in the eu and a reliable nato ally. Events in poland have taken a very ugly turn. At the end of october they won a majority in parliament. Its embarked on a power grab thats drawn comparisons with a coup. They could be replaced with ones to the partys liking. The party also named a new head of the countrys secret services who happen to be given a threeyear prison sentence for abusing his previous office. The party appears to be bringing back soviet style sensorship. The party has reneged on the promise to take in thousands of refugees. People shouted angry chants at migrants. Over the last decade the economy grew 50 . Big companies all have made Big Investments there. Despite this rosy outlook, the Previous Party worn out its welcome so the electorate chose a new course. They say party leader is really the one in charge. Hes expressed admiration for the Prime Minister of hungary who has curved freedom of expression and controlled with an iron fist. Appears headed toward illib rer democra democracy. Civil liberties and the rule of law are far from guaranteed. If europe is to face down daunting problems today like refugee crisis it needs a stable poland to lead those battles. Lets hope that cooler heads prevail and the crown jewel of eastern europe. Next, the biggest rock stars ever to grace our stage bono and the edge. U2 was set to play paris the night after last month months attacks. Well talk about the city of lights resilience. Paris is a very romantic city. Essence of romance is defiance. We think of music as the sound of freedom. They will play in paris this evening. First, they talked to me exclusively. This is claira.

And its our job to make sure theres enough to keep doers doin the stuff doers do. To keep us all doin what we do. Its gotten squarer. Over the years. Brighter. Bigger. Thinner. Even curvier. But whats next . For all binge watchers. Movie geeks. Sports freaks. X1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. On friday the 13th of november, terror struck have the city of lights. In paris that night were the members of the one of the most successful rock bands of all time, u2. They were in town for a on concert of their own said to be held the next night and broadcast by cnns sister company, hbo. Instead of playing their instruments on stage that day, the members of the band laid flowers. The show will go on, however. U2 will play paris tonight and tomorrow and hbo will air u2 innocence, an appearance live in paris on monday night 9 00 eastern. To talk about the significance of that night in paris and its aftermath im pleased to be joined by the lead singer of u2. Hey, guys. What was it like to be in paris when these attacks took place . It was, obviously, awful and chaotic and you immediately think of who you know, your crew, whos out in the city. That kind of mentality. We thought about the eagles and what was happening there. They were still locked in. This was the band playing where the largest number of people died. We tried to help them the next day with various things. We tried to find plane for them to get out and things like that. Turns out the best way to help them was finding them phones. Because their phones had been left in the venue and the venue was sealed off. They were in the Police Station and back in hotel rooms without communications. Turns out that was the most useful thing was find them some phones. In a way this was an attack on the kind of life you guys represent. Its an attack on rock music, the single largest place where the people died was a rock concert. Seemed like the target was culture and every kind of expression the best of humanity. Music, restaurants, french food, everything that was that we hold dear seemed to be the target. France is also the birth of the Enlightenment Movement which gave birth to america. Its like the place where the modern western world was born. I think the thing we have to hold onto now in the aftermath is that we are not wrong. The instinct to start dousing these values and these ideas is like were right. Were right. Thats why were so determined to get back to paris as soon as we can. Did you think about even playing the next day . Was it even possible . We hoped we could play the next day. It dawned on us just how serious it was. We had to give up on that. We didnt have a choice because within a few hours of starting we were given word by the city that they were shutting down all events. It wasnt even our decision. We were very determined to get back there as quick as we can. Paris is a very romantic city. The essence of romance is defiance. Defiant joy, we think is the mark of our band and of rock and roll. Theyre a death cult. Were a life cult, life force. Celebrating all things we love, food, soccer. Theyre trying to destroy those things. They dont like women. What else is there . Music, women. Weve sensed that defiance in paris. The word from our fans is, i think it was 300 tickets not taken up. Something really small for the rescheduled show. Theyre probably people coming from other continents, i dont know. Every one who could have been here is showing up. Everyone is coming back. I saw somebody, you remember right after the attacks, a guy brings out his piano and started playing imagine. We showed that clip on tv. You sent me a nice email about it. I saw a couple of people write articles saying how hopeless this is. Is that the response of terrorism, music . I take it you think that is a response. Thats poetry in music. And humor. Three things. Old facist organizations are afraid of humor. Violence is their language. When you unseat their sort of male energy and that Feminine Energy of playing music is beautiful. Think about the idea of outlawing music. A child sings before it can speak. Its the very essence of our humanity. Theres only been a couple of political movements in the history of the world that have targeted music specifically. The taliban, band music and during revolution also music was banned. We think of music as the sound of freedom. We think that rock and roll has part to play and going back to paris is not just symbolic, i think were starting the process of resistance and defiance against this movement. Now, the concert youre doing is really about innocence and experience. Its about growing up in ireland in a time of which you have political violence, terrorism, sectarian religious struggle. When we come back i want to ask you to talk about how the fast informs our understanding of this form of violence that were dealing with. When we come back. Moderate to severe Crohns Disease is tough, but ive managed. Except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. I love working in the salinas area becauseriselda zendejas. I always wanted to do something where i could help people around me. So being a construction supervisor for pg e gives me the opportunity to give a little bit back to my community. I have three boys. Theyre what keep me going every day. Our friends, families live in the area. And it is important for all of us that we keep our community safe. Together, were building a better california. We are back with u2s bono and the edge. Youve gone through terrorism and extremism. Yeah, the theme of show people were saying for paris. Whether its domestic violence. This is uncles ray. Coordinated bomb attack, three bombs went off. It was a strike. A friend of mine did not escape. From all this chaos. Peace and quiet its a dream you have while awake. A lot of compromise was taken to get peace in ireland. It gave encouragement for other conflicts. Sunday, bloody sunday. When youve confront that kind of thing and use music to respond, what are you saying . I think most importantly its a song against violence as a tool for politics of any kind. Our experience in ireland bore all that out. Peace broke out as spread through dialogue and compromise when people sat down and started to realize that they had a common goal for their, the aspirations of the people they represented. It was far more to be gained by getting together than by continuing in the same cycle of violence and suspicion and mistrust. Thats the theme of that song is that violence can never create a meaningful solution to anything. Again, theres some similarities about how christianity had been abused as indeed by the crusaders. They were doing what the islamists are doing now which is a perversion of their faith. Islam you do know, sorry. It means surrender. The idea of taking up arms is the distortion of it. Thats what sunday, bloody sunday was to point out the easter in christ laying down for his brothers rather than taking lives. You also must have seen what the effect of various kinds of responses to terrorism were because the way the british responded to a lot of attacks often seem to play into the iras hands. It wasnt just in ireland. It was bombings in britain. I remember outside birmingham where there were roadblocks, vigilante roadblocks. People got hurt because they must be part of this conspiracy. This is the thing to really watch for here in the United States and around the world. The islam extremism, particularly isis have a hand book. They talk about the gray zone. Thats their enemy. Its the common place where we get on very well. They seem to destabilize that. Then theyve won. Theyre not after the live. Theyre not trying to take lives. Theyre trying to take away our way of life. Watch this in the United States. Be very, very careful. This idea of only take christian refugees, this is not the american idea. Im always saying this. Im reminding people that americas not just a country. Its an idea. Its just a moment to refocus on our values, your values. Theyre sacred values and watch people call themselves american. I understand the overreaction. I understand fear. You understand nervousness and security concerns. I think theres 12, maybe 15 state agencies involved in a 24month checking. Think of madeline albright. Steve jobs dad. Irish people. Refugees probably the right word for us. We were running from nothing to these United States. Then they win. Dont let them win. Bono, the edge. Thank you so much for being here. Pleasure. Thank you. Always a pleasure. Dont miss u2 innocence and experience live on hbo monday night. Thank you for being part of my program. Ill see you next week. Good morning. Its time for a special edition of reliable sources. The love hate relationship thats at a breaking point. Donald trump and the media. First they doubted him. If donald trump is ill equipp equipped, hell fate away. Theres real concern this becomes a republican. Then they came under attack. Naki i naming names. He stood up and started ranting and raving
