Unitedhealthcare uhhuh pelley about 260 americans have joined, or tried to join, terrorists overseas. How is an american drawn into a group that seeks to destroy everything that america stands for . Abdirizak warsame has an exotic name, but he was an american teenager, living with his mom in minneapolis, who became the leader of an isis cell, sending other young men from minneapolis to their deaths. Warsame will be sentenced soon. He is facing up to 15 years in prison, but he was released from jail for one day to ta t before the judge passes sentence, to explain how he fell for isis in gods name. Abdirizak warsame the reason i wanted to go to syria was, i felt like it was my duty. I felt like it was something that i had to do. And if i didnt do it, i would be, basically a disgrace to god. I would be a disgrace to the world. I would be a disgrace to my family. Pelley did you see the pelley of them shooting people and throwing them into the river, one after another . The jordanian pilot that they burned to death . Did you think you were going to be doing that kind of thing . Warsame yeah. I was going to be participating in those activities. Pelley because those people werent true muslims. Warsame right. Pelley and therefore they deserved to die . Warsame correct. Pelley Abdirizak Warsame learned the theology of murder in minneapolis, minnesota. He was an american kid rising in a tough neighborhood but police. He found his way through high school chasing a basketball, pursuing poetry, and music. Warsame when i say cedar, you say riders cedar pelley cedar, as in cedar riverside, was his neighborhood where 20,000 refugees from somalia began to settle in the 1990s. They set their hearts on the american dream, but like most immigrant communities, the first generation kids grew up between too foreign for many americans, too american for their parents. Warsame i went to school with a lot of kids that were not somali. And so i kind of got into that culture, you know, music. Going to prom, dancing, its hard to kind of explain that stuff to your parents, when they kind of really dont understand what it is. Pelley his mother didnt understand why he was hanging out with tough boys in cedar, so she prodded him to go to the mosque. Warsame learning about t religion and reciting the quran, i started to become more religious. I felt like there was something that was missing in me. Pelley the mosque was not extremist, but the lessons were in somali, and warsame looked for an englishspeaking imam online. Anwar alawlaki we are fighting for a noble cause. We are fighting for god. Pelley he found, anwar al awlaki, born in new mexico, and a leading spiritual advisor for al qaeda. Lectures glorifying war on nonbelievers. Warsame one of the lectures was titled, battle of the hearts and minds. And what they do is try to get your heart and your mind and try to get you to join their cause. And so, whether youre doing something good for your community, whether youre going to school, whether you have a nice job, all of that, theyre going to make it seem like its worthless. And that there is something greater that you can be doing. Pelley awlaki was killed by a u. S. Drone five years ago. But online, life is everlasting. Warsame he explained how islam was, you know, like, my calling. It was almost like he was talking to you. And like it made you feel like you were special, you know . And like youre the chosen one. And the more i listened to it, the more it was appealing to me and the more interesting it became. Pelley how much time did you spend watching these videos . Continuously watch them when i wasnt doing anything. When i wasnt at school or doing my homework or, you know, out with my family. I was watching those videos. Awalki we are facing you with men who love death just like you love life. Pelley around the videos grew a congregation, eleven of warsames friends. Warsame i thought i was the only one. But when i met these group of men that i was friends with, it was kind of shocking to see that they also knew about these we would listen and listen and listen until we became, you know, wrapped in this ideology. All those lectures would talk about how it wasnt a time for just, you know, talking, but it was a time for action. Pelley the route to action was a link away, in the recruitment videos of isis. Music videos, a language the boys could understand. Than your neighborhood in minnesota . Warsame yes. Pelley how could that be . Warsame it kind of takes control of you. And you think youre doing something for a greater cause. And you think youre doing it for good. Pelley and what was that . Warsame most of the videos would talk about how if you would engage in jihad, you would be doing your family a favor. And that you would be saving their lives from eternal hellfire. Pelley that if you died as a martyr, you would not only go to paradise your whole family would go with you. Warsame whole family would go to paradise. Pelley and you were trying to be the best muslim you could be . Warsame correct. You want to be the hero. You want to save everyone. And you want to do good. Pelley in 2014, at the age of 19, warsame helped organize a plot to join isis in syria. He helped his friends get passports and made connections with people who could smuggle them through turkey. Yusuf jama, and abdi nur. Nur sent back facebook pictures. Warsame i remember him telling me, you know, im having the time of my life, and he was fulfilling his dream or on his way to heaven. Pelley what happened to him . Warsame i believe hes dead. Pelley how did that happen . Warsame he was fighting, and he was killed. Pelley yusuf jama was also killed. Are you responsible for their deaths . Warsame yeah, i believe i am responsible for their deaths, and i think about that every day. Pelley and if you had been able to get to syria, what do you think would have happened to you by now . Warsame i probably would be dead right now. Pelley after your friend, abdi nur, left minneapolis, his mother was trying to find him. She was desperate. Warsame she was desperate. She needed answers. And, i knew where he was going. And i did the unthinkable and i i didnt know where her son was. Pelley she was trying to save his life. Warsame yeah. That was very evil of me to do. Pelley as more of warsames group applied for passports, one of them was evasive about where he was going, and a passport official passed along his suspicions. The f. B. I. Got involved and convinced one of the conspirators to cooperate. Andrew luger he ended up wearing a recording de two months, and thats one of the ways that we have such good insight into the thinking of these coconspirators. Pelley u. S. Attorney andrew luger ran the prosecution. Luger theres a pull and a push. And the pull is this ideology that says were building the perfect world. You belong with us. Come join it. And the push is theyre not going to treat you like we will. Youre always going to be an outsider. Pelley it sounds like a gang recruiting a kid in chicago . Luger there are a lot of it goes a little deeper, though, because this message of, you dont belong in the west, is so dangerous. Pelley luger meets with the community often in hopes of warning parents and turning young men around. Luger our job is not only to catch and prosecute criminals, but to prevent criminal activity in the first place. Mohamed amin if theres violence in society, everyone loses pelley mohamed amin is among those fighting the isis message with one of his own. Amin were comparing their system, al qaeda, Islamic State. Why is our system better . Because its fairer. Its just, its more open and more importantly, it works pelley amin works in a gas station and spends his money producing antiisis cartoons under the name average mohamed. What do you think your Job Description is when you join the Islamic State . Behead unarmed innocent people. Empower unelected, bloodthirsty individuals as leaders. Amin given resources and opportunity, we can win this fight. Pelley why do you think so . Amin because i have hope. Peace supersedes violence. Freedom supersedes hate. And my Community Wants to be part of the american dream. We love our country. Its a great country. Its given us a lot. A lot. Luger we have to work with all minnesotans to combat islamophobia, because racial bigotry and religious bigotry helps the isil narrative, and weve got to stop it. Pelley how does it help . Luger you listen to these young men, and theyre hearing a message that says, youre not wanted in the west. So when a mother is beaten in a restaurant, which happened last year here, simply because she was somali, had a beer mug smashed across her face and told, go home in front of little kids, that helps that isil narrative. Citizen . Luger yes. Pelley and her kids were too . Luger yes. Pelley and so when the person said, go home . Luger the kids said, what do they mean . We just want to eat at applebees. Pelley andrew luger prosecuted nine of warsames group. Four had been intercepted at j. F. K. Airport in new york on their way to syria. Warsame and five others pled guilty to supporting a terrorist organization. Warsame i pled guilty because i knew i was guilty. Pelley another who pled guilty was zacharia abdurahman. His father, yusuf, told us that his son had been working nights to go to college by day. He told us he never saw trouble until he looked in hindsight. Yusuf abdurahman in our culture, where i come from, we are very harsh. Nomadic society, very harsh. We dont do compliments, we dont praise the kids, we dont hug them. We dont just tell them, we love you. You, until he get caught and hes behind bars. We are out of touch with our children. Im not computer savvy. These children, these computers and this internet this is their toys. Pelley their toys. Abdurahman yeah. Pelley and you didnt know what was happening. Abdurahman we didnt know whats happening at the time. You know, im a parent that his kid is in jail now. You know, im sorry what hes going through. But, you know, im very glad that hes here. Im very glad that he was caught, that he was stopped. Pelley youre glad that he was caught . Abdurahman yes. Yes, hes alive. Pelley of the twelve, two were killed, the one who cooperated with the f. B. I. Has not been charged, six pled guilty, and three were convicted at trial. Warsame testified for the prosecution. And these selfies were part of the evidence. Did you write those words . Warsame yeah. It says till the death of me, baby. Pelley and what did that mean . Warsame that meant, this is what i stood for. To die for it . Warsame for this cause. Pelley hoping to die for it . Warsame yeah. Pelley youre looking at potentially 15 years in prison. Who do you blame for that . Warsame myself. At the end of the day, i was the one who made those decisions. Im trying to do the best that i can, to make up for all of the things that ive done. Pelley do you really believe that, or are you saying it so the judge will go easy on you . Warsame i really believe that. What ive done is something that nobody can be proud of. Its very shameful. I might be very remorseful, but i havent done any actions to correct those wrongs. Pelley and thats what this interview is . Warsame its the only reason im doing this interview, is to make up for the wrong that ive done. Pelley and to those young men who are watching those same videos right now, today . You say, what . Warsame i say its not worth it. Suffering just because you believe in something that is total nonsense. That doesnt make sense. Its not worth your life. Pelley you watched those videos to change your life. And they have. Warsame correct. . To protect them. Making the right decisions today for your longterm financial future can protect you and your family, and preserve your legacy. Ask a Financial Advisor how retirement and Life Insurance solutions from pacific life can help you plan for your future. Remember when they used to say, Free Shipping and handling . What ever happened to the handling . I do all the handling. On everything at dell. Com. Pelley now, dr. John lapook on assignment for 60 minutes. Lapook 5 of americans live in states where pot is legal for recreational use, but by next wednesday, that percentage could swell to almost 25 . Its on the ballot in five states california, massachusetts, maine, arizona and nevada. If it passes in those states, it shift in attitudes. The latest poll shows more than half of americans favor legalization. The state with the most experience with legal recreational pot is colorado, which allowed retail sale of the drug, starting in 2014. No other state has gone further or faster into the legal weed business, but its still in its infancy and remains an experiment. So with next weeks vote in mind, we went to colorado to find out whats working, and this county in southern colorado has been called the napa valley of cannabis for a reason. No community has felt the impact of legalization more powerfully than pueblo. A former steel town of 160,000 residents, it is now home to over 90 pot growing facilities. This is the heartland of Legal Marijuana in america, and it goes on as far as the eye can see. This is enormous how big is this . Bob degabrielle we have 36 acres here, and there is 21,600 plants between all the four licenses. Lapook 21,600 plants. Thats a lot of plants. Bob degabrielle is a founder of this industrial scale enterprise, which he runs with his 27yearold son, ketch. Just three years ago, he was a Real Estate Developer from north carolina. Now he owns Los Suenos Farms, the largest recreational cultivation facility in the country. Bob degabrielle came out and looked at it from an investment standpoint, then just decided to stay out here. Realized that colorado was really the epicenter of what was happening in the industry. Lapook bob and his partners have invested 10 million in colorados tightly regulated industry, which requires that every plant grown by a licensed operator be entered into a database, outfitted with a radio frequency tag, and tracked from seed to sale. This is hightech, highsecurity retail cultivation, where 289 cameras track every plant and 22,000 pounds of marijuana are harvested a year, then cured in barrels like wine. Where does it go from here . Ketch degabrielle so from here, it will go through our trimming machines and well trim it. Lapook it will also be inspected by the state for quality control. At Los Suenos Farms, they are on track to rake in about 20 million a year in this budding industry, and they say it has been very good for Pueblo County too. Ways, its been an economic windfall for the community. Lapook marijuana has created 1,300 jobs and more than 60 businesses in pueblo. There are 85 employees at los suenos, and they all have to pass background checks and be fingerprinted. But while five u. S. States will have legalization of Recreational Marijuana on the ballot, this Colorado County is considering restricting it. On election day, voters in pueblo will decide whether the county should op production and sale of recreational pot. That would force Los Suenos Farms out of business within a year. How would that affect you financially . Bob degabrielle oh, it would be devastating, in terms of the amount of money that weve put in here, and the time that weve put in here. Ketch degabrielle making it illegal here does absolutely nothing to get cannabis out of here. It just means you have to drive to the next county to purchase it. What recreational flavors do we have today . Lapook when Recreational Marijuana was legalized in sale of it. Pueblo did, and there have been both profits and problems ever since. Steven simerville its affecting the emergency room, its affecting the operating room. Its affecting just about every aspect of medicine that you could think of. Lapook dr. Steven simerville is a pediatrician, and medical director of the newborn intensive care unit at pueblos saint mary corwin medical center. He supports the Ballot Initiative to ban recreational pot, in part because he says hes noticed more babies being his observations are anecdotal, but hes concerned by what he has seen in his own hospital. In the first nine months of this year, 27 babies born at this hospital tested positive for t. H. C. , the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Thats on track to be about 15 higher than last year. When was the last time you took care of a baby who tested positive for marijuana . Simerville i have babies up on the unit right now who are positive for. Lapook right now . Lapook and when were they born . Simerville all of them were within a week. Lapook what does the mother say, when you say your babys just tested positive for marijuana, and it can
