Cnn obtained neverbeforeseen video of Elton Simpson, one of the two gunmen who tried to ambush a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest. Cnn National Correspondent kyung lah is live from phoenix for us this morning. What have we learned, kyung . Reporter good morning, alisyn. The reason why this particular piece of video is important because this is the first time were actually seeing Elton Simpson speaking. You get a sense of what weve been hearing all week. He appears to be mild mannered and its so difficult to reconcile this with the man who went on the shooting rampage. We also spoke with a friend of his. An evangelical christian pastor. He says as disturbing as it may seem to the rest of us that he believes simpson did not snap. That this move in the texas area that it was a logical defense of his faith. Heres what he said. I was surprised but not shock shocked. I wouldnt put it past him because i understood the sincerity of his beliefs. And he expressed to me admiration specifically for Osama Bin Laden he used the word hero. And pastor ma loan says he also believes simpson must have known that he and his accomplice nadir soofi would both die by doing this by taking this step. We have also learned, chris that the fbi has now begun making inquiries trying to talk to people at the mosque. Its being described to us as bringing them in for friendly interviews. Chris. Well there does seem to be this unusual confusion about how much activity these men had with the wrong kinds of people and the wrong kinds of intent and yet nobody knowing anything about it. Kyung, thank you for continuing to dig. In baltimore the mayor this morning is asking the department of justice to investigate her citys Police Department. This as serious inconsistencies emerge between the Police Investigation and the prosecutors case against the officers who arrested freddie gray. Cnns Suzanne Malveaux joins us live from baltimore with the latest. Suzanne. Reporter hey, good morning, chris. Well there are a lot of developments this morning. First of all you mentioned the mayor, the mayor asking for the federal government to step in now. She wants her entire Police Department to be investigated for patterns and practices potentially of civil rights violations. Did they use excessive force, search harassment these type of things. Weve seen these reports recently for albuquerque as well as cleveland, most recently ferguson. This report is likely very likely going to take at least a year to be produced. So thats in the works. She also said she wants body cams on her officers by the end of the year. And, chris, were looking at some inconsistencies here when you look at the case. There are sources, attorneys for the Police Officers who were charged, those six Police Officers charged in freddie grays death, and sources inside who are familiar with the Police Report as well as the prosecutions case. And they say the Police Report does not necessarily support some of the aspects of the prosecution the states attorneys office. Namely the autopsy report not necessarily showing that this would be a homicide. Also not necessarily showing that this is seconddegree murder. That would be an intent to kill but rather manslaughter. And then some of the attorneys for the officers they want to see the knife. The knife that was on freddie gray. Because they say if it was a switchblade, that would make it a legal possession and therefore give them probable cause to have arrested freddie gray in the first place. All of these things playing out inside the courtroom, inside the police as well as prosecutors office. And some of these things obviously being leaked but very contentious, chris michaela. Ill take it here suzanne. Thank you for that important update. The pentagon stating training for Syrian Rebels later this week. The Syrian Opposition leader telling jim voters heading to the polls in the uk today and its one of the closest races in decade. David cameron seeking a second term his main challenger ed miliband. Stay with cnn as those results come in. Former pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum may throw his hat into the 2016 ring. The republican says hes going to make a decision before the end of the month whether to run or not. He had a strong showing in the 2012 gop primaries. Remember he beat romney in the iowa caucus. What did tom brady know and when did he know it . The nfls report on deflategate offers no definitive answers, but theres a mountain of circumstantial evidence that the patriots intentionally deflated footballs and that their star quarterback was aware. My former tv husband john berman is here. Now estranged. Over this. Over this nonetheless. So heres the deal. The world is waiting right now for tom brady to come forward and make any comment at all about what i am holding in my hand, this mammoth report with pages and pages of dockumentation as the star quarterback as they say more probable than not generally aware that footballs before the afc championship game were deflated. New details in the nfls stunning 243page report on deflate deflategate. It concludes the new England Patriots megastar Quarterback Tom Brady more probably than not was at least generally aware that game balls were deliberately underinflated. This is something brady has more or less denied since january. I have no knowledge of anything. You know i didnt alter the ball in any way. Based on Video Evidence and witness accounts the report claims that two of the teams personnel, jim mcalnally and an assistant deliberately made efforts to release the air from patriots game balls after the balls were examined by the referee. The theory footballs with less air are easier to grip. Inside the report damning Text Messages exchanged between the two men with talk of cash free shoes and autographs. Mcnally even calls himself the deflator texting, tom sucks. Im going to make that next ball a expletive, balloon. Talked to him last night, he actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. The report also says january 1th during the afc championship game mcnally was seen on Surveillance Video committing a violation taking the game balls on a sudden trip to the bathroom before bringing them to the field. Also notable, a flurry of phone calls and Text Messages between tom brady and him after the news deflate deflategate blew up. Brady texting, you good johnny by . Texting, sfil nervous, so far, so good though. Ill be all right. Brady, you didnt do anything wrong, bud. Jastremski i know. Ill be good. He did answer questions, but he did not turn over his cell phone, his Text Messages or his emails. And it seems clear the nfl probably not too happy about that. Chris. Well we have the perfect Forensic Team to discuss this. The two mikes, mike and mike theyre on your screen. The big question is, for all the names and all the time and all the hype do you believe that the nfl has revealed the truth and what is it . Mike greenberg. Well those are excellent questions. My answer to the first one is no and the second one is we still dont know. At the end of the day im not a huge fan of more probable than not. I understand that might be the preponderance of the evidence and might rise to find you on your side in some sort of a civil proceeding. But if youre going to destroy the reputation of one of the greatest players of all time i would like a little more than probably. I was a little surprised thats all we got, but if you put it in terms of what discipline is coming this report is lost in the case in a courtroom. But in a civil courtroom its not. You mean the court of Public Opinion . No no in a civil court i think they would be found liable given the preponderance of the evidence and more probably than not i think you would be found liable in a civil court. Im not a lawyer. I only play one on tv. He plays one exceptionally badly. To your second point there, chris, about the court of Public Opinion. At the end of the day thats the one that really matters. Tom brady is overwhelmingly likely to get suspended. The very first game the patriots play this year is the nfl huge kickoff, that thursday night opener against the steelers. It will be one of the highest rated Television Shows of the year on nbc. Its the biggest nfl game of the year until the playoffs start. All right. And tom brady is going to be suspended for that game. Right. Lets talk about why. First of all, does the report show to your satisfaction golic, that the balls were underinflated . Well it shows that the balls were underinflated. And that somebody did it. Well i believe so. I think what helps in that cause is the fact that the locker room assistant and the officials assistant and these people havent talked to brady by phone in months and all of a sudden theyre talking a couple of times in a couple of days after that talking and texting. So i think that leads you to believe there might be something there. Thats the issue is just what the report said. There might be something there. Right. So youre right to ask, should a reputation be ruined on that. But i do think theres enough there where the league will discipline him. And while Public Opinion will come into play if discipline comes into play as green just mentioned and he has to miss a game thats huge. Thats huge if hes got to miss a game when theres only 16. Green, lets say to peoples satisfaction and those who are relevant they say, okay these balls were underinflated and somebody did it on purpose, period. So forget the mistakes forget the environmental, you know hype and drama and all that. Its to the side. Now it goes to whom do we point the finger at. I have to tell you, more probable than not that brady was at least generally aware is not strong legal language. And it seems almost like an intentional hedge, greenie, what do you think the intent here is by the league . Yeah there are two separate equivocations in the very first sentence that matters in the entire thing. I agree with you. The most important thing to remember is this was an independent investigation done by ted wells and his group. Right. So their intention is clear. They have passed the buck now on to the league and its going to fall in the lap of Roger Goodell and one of his lieutenants by the way a longtime former player. And they will make the decision whether or not this is enough on which to suspend brady. They walk a fine line. Because the relationship between Roger Goodell the commissioner and robert kraft the owner of the patriots is long known to be extremely close. So either way i think goodell has a challenge. If he goes soft on them. Yeah. People will perceive he went soft on kraft. Right. If he goes hard on them hes got a problem with kraft who is one of his primary supporters during the bad year goodell had. The best proof they have is this tweet exchange. Put it up on the screen. Youre intimately familiar brady talking you doing good johnny boy, still nervous, so far so good though ill be all right. Fyi, dave will be picking your brain about it later, hes not accusing me or anyone trying to get to the bottom of this. What is damning other than the time lapse but why wouldnt there be an occasion for brady to be talking to the guy in the wake of the controversy . Listen let me reframe it if i could. Because youre right. Could you convict could you put a guy in jail with the evidence they have . Absolutely not. No you cant, but you can find them liable for it. At the end of the day heres the question lets say brady was at least a little bit involved. Because it certainly seems overwhelmingly likely that he was. Ive been asking the question ever since the day this broke just how big a deal is it anyway . Well heres the thing, my overall thought on this is i dont think this is a big deal anyway. But thats not what were looking for. Did it have an effect on the game . Absolutely not. But that doesnt matter. If you knowingly tried to cheat, thats what you should be punished for, not whether it had an effect on the game or not. Overall i dont think this is anything. But that doesnt matter what i think. The bottom line is its bad timing for tom brady and the new England Patriots. With what the league has been through this past year theres no way if theyre going to discipline here that theyre going to discipline softly. They cant afford to anymore. Theyd be getting crushed at every decision theyve made. So i think even though Roger Goodell is getting paid by the owners and hes putting troy vincent in charge of the discipline i dont think theres a chance that theyre going to go soft here because of the year that theyve had. I dont know green, seems to me like this has been best just to hear the lines that come out of your mouth about it when you guys are talking about this game because of all the right puns. Im holding a ball for our discussion for no reason just because its funny. But if the league is deciding to put its flag in the sand on this after all of the problems with Domestic Violence and general violence theyve dealt with i dont know that theyre going to get a lot of dep with anybody let alone the faithful. We look forward to hearing the in depth coverage on mike and mike and always good to have you on new day, my brothers. Our pleasure. Thank you. All right, fellas. So what do you think about this . How big a deal is it . Does the league have to act . Do you think they have a good basis for acting . The reports like 250 pages. They have plenty to go through.

New fears this morning that isis is closer to carrying out an attack in the United States after a known terror recruiter connected to the muhammad cartoon shooting in garland, texas sent an ominous tweet. Lets bring in paul quickshank our cnn terrorism analyst and phil mudd former cia counterterrorism official. Let me put up this tweet on the screen so we can talk about it. Again, this is a hacker a former hacker now a recruiter for isis. And he says you aint seen nothing yet words that mean soon. Soon. Phil i mean how seriously are we supposed to take this tweet . Look this is not a tweet about isis potentially conducting an attack. Its a tweet about potentially isis sympathizers conducting an attack. Let me tell you what i mean by that. This game of counterterrorism is shifted on its head. 15 years ago al qaeda has a secret plot 19 people nobody knows about it no communications about it that are discernible. 15 years later you have a 20 21yearold brit in syria. What hes doing is probability terrorism. Hes not trying to keep a plot secret. Hes communicating with potentially tens of thousands of people. If one in 5,000 does something, thats a tremendous success. So what hes trying to do here is not to stage a plot conducted by isis. Hes trying to stage a
