terrorist attack for the first time. and warned against turning that conflict into a war against muslims here at home and around the world. >> reporter: good morning, george. the president said the terrorist threat has evolved into a new phase. for the first time, he called the san bernardino massacre a terrorist act that was likely inspired by isis. >> we have no evidence that the killers were directed by a terrorist organization overseas or that they were part of a broader conspiracy at home. but sit clear that the two of them had gone down the dark path of radicalization. so this was an act of terrorism, designed to kill innocent people. >> reporter: addressing the nation from the oval office, the president defended his administration's efforts to protect the u.s. homeland and the strategy to combat isis abroad. >> here's what i want you to know. the threat from terrorism is real. but we will overcome it. we will destroy isil and any

other organization that tries to harm us. >> reporter: the president called for a review of the the visa program that one of the attackers used to come to the u.s. >> reporter: our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, no matter how effective they are, cannot identify every would-be mass shooter. whether that vim is motivated by isil or some other hateful ideology. what we can do, and must do, is make it harder for them to kill. >> reporter: the president also answered his critters who called for a war against radical islam. he instead labeled isis a cult of death that does not represent muslims. >> we cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between america and islam. that does not mean denying that an extremist eyology has spread within some muslim communities. it's real problem.

muslims must confront it. >> reporter: the president urged americans not to demonize muslims in the united states. they're our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. as for the president's republican critics, they said the president offered no new strategy. >> terrorism is now the top issue in the race for the white house. the candidates were quick to reaction. donald trump even live tweeting throughout it. tom llamas has the story. >> reporter: this morning, democratic presidential front-runner hillary clinton echoing republicans, saying the u.s. needs to do more in taking on isis. >> well, we're not winning. but it's too soon to say that we are doing everything we need to do. >> reporter: the former secretary of state calling on facebook, youtube, and twitter, to help the government fight isis by limiting the terror network's outreach online. and clinton explaining why she's refusing to use the phrase

radical islam. >> well, the problem is that that sounds like we are declaring war against a relig n religion. >> reporter: donald trump says we need to profile and monitor some mosques. >> people are dead. a lot of people are dead. everybody wants to be politically correct. that's part of the problem we have with our country. >> reporter: trump saying the recent terror attacks shows we need to arm more americans. >> i can tell you one thing. if i'm in there and i have a gun, we're going down shooting. we're going to knock 'em out. okay? one way or the other. >> reporter: senator ted cruz, surging in iowa, may be trying to outtrump trump. he's out with this ad full of tough talk. >> every islamic militant will know. if you wage jihad against us, you're signing your death warrant. >> reporter: as for those tweets, trump was live-tweeting during the president's address. these tweets caught your eye. obama refused the say, he just can't say it, that we're at war

with radical islamic terrorists the and this one. obama said in his speech that muslims are our sports heroes. what sport is he talking about and who is he profiling? he seems to have forgotten about kareem abdul-jabbar and muhammad ali. >> we're joined by dr. ben carson. thank you for joining us again. in your statement after the president's speech, you said we need real solutions, not empty rhetoric. how specifically would your war strategy be different from president obama's? >> first of all, i would not be spending a lot of time talk about what we're not going to do. and i would not be talking about how the american people are afraid. i think what's going on is that the american people are frustrated. and -- the reason that they're frustrated is because, you know, we won't use the words islamic terrorists. >> what would you do that president obama is not doing?

>> so, that's what i'm getting to. so my point is, that the attitude has to be different. we have to have a commander in chief who is willing to come out forcefully against this so that the american people have confidence that something is being done. that means i would be talking about using the banking systems and all the monetary mechanisms available. >> isn't that what president obama is doing? >> one of the ways that they're able to take care of those people is through monetary mechanisms. if we -- frustrate them so they can't get money to people. >> your rival, senator ted cruz says we should carpet bomb them into oblivion. do you agree with that? >> i probably is not going to want to just blanketly carpet-bomb people. i want to be much more specific in targeting people. obviously, we don't want to just

kill people in general. >> and finally, sir, you have take an hit in the poll. trump now leading by more than 20 points nationally. ted cruz rivaling you nationally and in iowa, what's gone wrong? how do you fix it? >> basically, people feel that i don't have foreign policy experience. the fact of the matter is, if you look at all the people who are running, how many of them have had a lot of foreign policy experience? is answer is no. none, not many. maybe hillary. here's the question. who has -- many 2:00 a.m. calls where they have on the make life and death decisions? who has established new things that have powerful effects on people's lives? that's the kind of commander in chief i would be looking for. >> dr. carson, thank you for your time. >> thank you so much, george. >> waiting for more answers from dr. carson. we turn to the victims of the terror attacks. they were remembered at special

sunday services all around san bernardino and around the country. this morning, we're learning new details about the attack. what happened inside that conference room. as more stories for the tragedy emerge. cecilia vig ga has been in san bernardino all weekend. she joins us now with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. even now, it's still a crime sken here. we now know what happened in this bilgd behind me was a work training and an annual holiday party that turned into four minutes of sheer terror. >> we have several down in a conference room. several down. >> reporter: this morning, new details from inside that conference room. one witness telling abc news, the room was a large space. packed with tables. a movie screen, a podium on one side for presentations. a christmas tree on the other. syed farook and tashfeen malik, wearing tactical gear and carrying extra am moe burst through this door.

business school finds they are bad for business. tory johnson is here to tell us what you can do if you have to work with one of these types of people. you talk about there are different types of toxic workers. tell us abthe first one. >> the screamer. no matter what, this person is always yelling because they can. that's their way of exerting authority. getting their point across. there's no need for it. but nay get away with it and nobody stops them. sometimes it's simply for attention that they're doing it. if you're faced with this kind of person there are a couple of specific things to do. the first is you have to stand up for yourself. so for a lot of people, it's very difficult to sort of speak back and say, don't scream at me. don't talk to me that way. but by sitting there and taking it, you're giving the person permission to continue. one of the easiest things to do is walk away. go to the restroom. a cup of coffee, a drink of water. take a walk. whatever sit to help you avoid

getting emotional. >> we have the screamer. this is one that bothers me. the demeanor. demeaner. just constantly giving that kind of language. >> you're so dumb. eye rolls. con tantly rolling their eyes. waving off a hand. just very dismissively. that crushes your confidence. it's difficult to deliver your best when you feel worstless. this is something you want to comb combat. do something about. i think one of the best things is to calmly confront this person. instead of saying, why are you such a bully? what are you demeaning me all the time? it will only fuel the flame. that's not necessarily going to work. you want to be ready. when you compare me to your 3-year-old kids, it doesn't do a lot in terms of allowing me to deliver my best.

when you call me dumb, it makes me feel worthless and i can't deliver for you what you need. point to specific xarms and firmly ask the person to stop. please don't use that language to me. please don't speak to me that way. i think when you're firm as opposed to accusatory, it helps. >> the third one you said is the schemer. >> this is the person who withholds information. deliberately keepout out of the loop. keep you off of e-mail chains. i don't invite trou specific meetings. things that are obvious. you don't get a loft credit. in those cases, document the details. cow can say, i wasn't included on that e-mail, therefore i wasn't able to do this. please make sure i'm included in those things. give a specific suggestion as opposed to making an accusation. by giving a suggestion, you

avoid the situation. >> friends may say, just leave. just quit. it's not an option. >> start a plan "b." if you can start today saying this environment is not for me. i'm going to start job-searching. making those steps. that go a long way. of course, if necessary, seek help. seek help from your state's labor department. a lawyer. a therapist. >> this is great information. thank you. a little preview. christmas with the royals. prince william reporting prince george has figured out what christmas is all about. lama hasan is in london with the toddler's insights. >> reporter: good morning the you, george. yes, prince william has been opening up, giving a rare and personal interview to a homeless woman who he met four years ago through one of his favorite chairs. she's an aspiring reporter who he promised an interview to if she followed her dreams. she did.
