I think the most urgent question were they working with anybody else . Are there any other coconspirators out there . An awful lot of weapons for just two people. That is the most important questions for the fbi to run down now. The other questions what did he do in saudi arabia, who did he meet with . More importantly, what did he do in pakistan and did he get training to do Something Like this. What motivated them to do this particular event rather than something else. What else might they be plannng to do . Exactly. What is your expertise tell us what happened here . They did the shooting at the center and went home and yesterday police found quite an arsenal at their place. Im speculating right now. My expertise tells me that they were radicalized, they were qaeda, not necessarily just isis. They were planning Something Big or down, as we have reported, that he was in contact with a person we believe has ties to terrorism here in the u. S. . I want to know what those conversations were, what was actually being said, who that person was. I also want to know the same thing about his reported communications with people overseas. And if we have this person that has suspected ties to terrorism under surveillance, why didnt our intelligence or Law Enforcement know about mr. Farook and his wife and what they were doing . There is a lot of people, theres a lot of americans who reading isis propaganda, even communicating with them on facebook and twitter. Too many people for the fbi to survey and follow up on. A lot of americans out there how many are we talking about . Thousands. In 50 states we have open investigations into isis sympathizers. Why is there a reluctance to call this terrorism . What do we need to know to call it officially terrorism . As odd as it sounds they were terrorists but this event was not terrorism. What it depends on is what was their motivation for doing this . Right . Was the motivation to do this to be part of al qaeda and isis and sympathize with them, or was this because you were mad at your coworkers . You would think if that was the issue, they would have just killed one or two rather than as many as they could. They shot their managers first. Right. Michael morrell, thank you very much. Youre welcome. Congress is rejecting a new gun control push in the wake of they failed to pass a series of measures including more background checks.
