>> oh, boy. we're going to go on to a serious topic here. with enrique marquez. new charges against him. he was a friend of one of the san bernardino attackers. marquez made a court appearance, with a one-word answer to a judge and not entering a plea. >> he is facing charges, including support to terrorists. marquez will be held until monday at least, when he will attend another court hearing. abc news' brian ross is on the case. >> reporter: after ten days of questioning by the fbi at a secret location, enrique marquez was brought to the federal courthouse in riverside, california, to face serious terror charges. within hours of the san bernardino terror rampage, the fbi figured out that the two assault rifles were caught by marquez, almost four years ago. but the charges made public revealed the 24-year-old marquez, and his long-time friend and former next door neighborhood, syed farook, planned to use the weapons and

pipe bombs to attack the cafeteria of a community college in 2011 or early 2012. and later for a rush hour terror attack on this california freeway. quote, the plan was for farook to throw pipe bombs on to the freeway. and then, farook allegedly planned to move among stopped vehicles shooting into them, while marquez shot into vehicles from a nearby hillside. according to the federal complaint, it was farook who persuaded marquez to turn to islam. he radicalized him using online videos and publications from al qaeda. authorities charge that farook got marquez to marry a russian woman, who was an extended member of franconia farook's family so she could come to the united states. marquez confided to his friends, it was all a sham. >> he married her for the visa. and gave him 5, 10 grand. that's where he left it. >> reporter: ominously, in the weeks before the terror attack that killed 14 people in san

bernardino, friends say marquez warned of the plans of what he called a terror sleeper cell. >> he would talk about there were so many sleeper cells. >> reporter: a month before the attacks, marquez wrote on facebook, "my life turned ridiculous. involved in terrorists plots, drugs, anti-social behavior, marriage, might go to prison for fraud,et set -- et cetera." several prosecutors say there is currently no evidence that marquez was involved in the san bernardino attacks themselves. but they say there's no doubt his decision to buy the guns for farook had fatal consequences. if convicted, he could face up to 35 years in prison. brian ross, abc news, new york. the man some call the most hated man in america is free, on a $5 million bond after his arrest for securities fraud. hedge funder-turned-drug company executive, martin shkreli, earned the nickname by buying a life-saving drug and raising its price more than 4,000%.

he's now accused of taking millions from one of his companies to pay off investors and others that failed. >> he essentially ran his companies like a ponzi scheme, where he used each company to pay off defrauded investors from the prior company. >> shkreli's arrest is not related to his drug price increase. that increase was legal. after the securities fraud charges, shkreli's spokesman says he is confident he will be cleared. now, to the possible politicalboro -- political bromance between vladimir putin and donald trump. they have traded kind words about each other. and two of trump rivals are maintaining a feud that started at tuesday night's debate. it is "your voice your vote" and cecilia vega is covering the campaign. >> reporter: donald trump

getting unexpected and resounding praise from vladimir putin. >> donald trump. >> reporter: putin calling trump, a talented, very colorful person. and the absolute leader of the presidential race. trump's response? it is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected in his own country and beyond. while trump is riding high, a tough day for his chief rival, ted cruz. marco rubio saying cruz once supported legalizing undocumented immigrants. >> he's not told his truth about his position in the past. >> reporter: on fox news, cruz stumbling after being shown his own words from 2013. >> i don't want immigration reform to fail. i want immigration perform to pass. >> it sounded like you wanted the bill to pass. >> of course, i wanted the bill to pass. my amendment to pass. what my amendment did -- >> you said the bill. >> my amendment took citizenship off the table. it doesn't mean i supported the other aspects of the bill.

it was a terrible bill. >> reporter: cruz doubling down. >> i oppose legalization for illegal aliens. i always have. and i always will. >> reporter: the texas senator fighting for the donald trump voters. but fighting against trump on the other side of the aisle, hillary clinton. sending a personal plea to the trump-loving father of this young woman. >> hi, shawn. i'm here with your daughter. i hope you can see, i don't have horns. and i really do hope that as this election goes on, you'll listen to your daughter. thanks. bye. >> reporter: we'll see how that work out for her. all eyes on this stage behind me. the final preparations are under way for the final democratic debate of 2015. cecilia vega, abc news, manchester, new hampshire. >> watch the democratic debate hosted by abc's martha raddatz and david muir. that's tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern and 7:00 central. that's interesting the story

about trump and putin, praising one another. >> and how people demonize him in politics. he took the other route. >> and there's different sides of the political spectrum, right? the left, putin, socialism, communism. and trump right. maybe the political spectrum is a globe, you go back around and meet in the middle and get on. >> there you go. deep thoughts. on politics. and world affairs. >> deep thought or something that made no sense. you decide. admitting it was a mistake is not going to get defense secretary ash carter off the hook. the committee wants to look at the e-mails he had from his personal account. john mccain wants to make sure that sensitive information was not compromised. the push for the "star wars" movie has been over the top. >> what's the name of the movie? >> i said it in the script.

i've already forgotten it. i have not heard its name to really have it marked on my memory. but evidence actually -- there is enough evidence it may have worn down, all of the promotional push may have worn down one of the film's actual stars. >> this stems from a flight of the cast, including droids and the crew they took from l.a. to london. the plane was painted to look like an r2-d2. >> the character was drawn on seat covers, even cups. and the onboard announcements began with noises that r2-d2 would make. he said the pilot was making "star wars" references which he called corny and not funny. >> i see how he could think that. >> and entertaining it. [ sounds ] from we go. >> r2-d2 said he did not appreciate the comments. >> not funny. >> coming up -- >> it's quite funny. >> you think so? >> who has better teeth? the americans or the brits? >> that's easy to prove later. also ahead, "star wars" fans
