♪ >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now." >> good morning on a busy tuesday. i'm richard bacon. >> i'm reena ninan. boy, we begin with the most provocative rhetoric we've heard from donald trump so far. right? he's now proposing to slam the door shut on all muslims coming to america. >> telling supporters in south carolina without drastic action, the threat of attacks is going to get worse. but fellow gop candidates are blasting his comments. we get the latest now from abc's tom llamas. >> reporter: donald trump is telling the world muslims are no longer welcome in america. >> we have no idea if they want love us or they hate us. we have no idea if they want to bomb us. we have no idea what's going on.

>> just days after saying this. >> i know muslim people, they are phenomenal people, but there is a problem in there. >> reporter: the republican front-runner is now calling for "a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states." our country cannot be the victim of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad. >> this less than 24 hours after president obama called for more tolerance for muslims after that terrorist attack in california. >> it's our responsibility to reject proposals that muslim-americans should somehow be treated differently. >> reporter: but trump wants no part of it and saying his war on terror won't end with the terrorists. >> at least i would go after the wives who absolutely knew it was happening and i guess your definition of what i do, i'm going to leave that to your imagination. >> reporter: trump is upping his rhetoric to an unprecedented level. jeb bush called it unhinged. governor chris christie called it ridiculous.

>> this is the kind of thing people say when they have no experience and don't know what they're talking about. we do not need to resort to that type of activity nor should we. >> reporter: trump's extreme plan comes the same day new iowa polls show senator ted cruz on the rise. his momentum fuelled in part by his solution for isis. >> we will carpet bomb them into oblivion. i don't know if sand can glow in the dark but we're going to find out. >> reporter: trump supporters telling us they endorsed this plan. others saying they want some type of screening process when it comes to muslims. but donald trump may have a huge problem with the united states constitution. lawyers telling us muslim immigrants cannot be denied or preferred on the religion which would be in direct contrast to the trump ban. tom llamas, abc news, new york. >> tom, thank you. >> it really was a breathtaking statement by donald trump. wasn't it? >> i think you would think it caught people off guard but it didn't really. right? we kind of know he's out there. >> i was reflecting on it tonight. and i've watched this now several times, this speech that

we can see here. i actually think we'll come to view this as a moment in history because what happens next is so interesting. so do his supporters now, does his support stay the same? does it go down? does it go up? if it goes up, what does that say? it's i think the next few days are fascinating. it is the most i guess the most dramatic and to use that word again breathtaking statement by a serious contend for office of my lifetime, i think. by the way, i have a twitter handle @richardpbacon. trump, let me know.ter of donald has this changed your view of him? have those comments about muslims today changed your view of him? if so why, if not why not @richardpbacon. >> look forward to hearing what people have to say. moving on to congress taking new steps to tight and at visa waiver program.

under current law, citizens of certain countries can travel to the u.s. without a visa and say for 90 days for tourism or business. today the house is expected to approve an overhaul which would prevent recent visitors to syria and iraq from taking advantage of the program. a much tougher bill in the senate would the require fingerprinting for travelers coming to the u.s. >> foreign recruits are pouring into syria and iraq to join isis. that is the conclusion of a security consulting group which says the number of foreign fighters has more than doubled in the past 18 months. and there are now as many as 31,000 of them. the biggest increase in new recruits for isis is from russia and central asia while the number from north america has leveled off. learning more about the couple who opened fire in san bernardino. take a look at a picture taken in july of last year. this one shows syed farook and tashfeen malik arriving as newly weds in chicago. the couple didn't raise any

that it would stop. >> reporter: what went through your mind when you heard that name? >> a complete sense of betrayal. it amazes me every day how close this group is, how tight knit they are and it's nothing but betrayal. >> the co-workers telling me farook and his wife fired in complete silence. they say at one point they saw farook pointing the muzzle at the ground where the co-workers were laying injured. it appeared he fired on them one by one. cecelia vega, abc news, san bernardino, california. >> every detail of that testimony is haunting, isn't it? no charges will be filed in another chicago police shooting caught on camera. ronald johnson was killed by an officer last year as he tried to run away. his family tried to argue he was unarmed but experts determined johnson was armed. this comes as the u.s. attorney general announced that the justice department will investigate the police

so i was asking for your opinion on donald trump. his latest comments are banning muslims from coming into america which appeared certainly yesterday to include american muslims who had gone on a holiday. and his idea at one point it appeared it would include them that they would be stopped from getting back into america. so @richard p. bacon and quite a few people agree. stone cold country tweeted i totally agree with donald trump. all immigration must stop in order to save this great country from hell. dramatic turn of phrase. this is ian. this is quite amusing. he says you'd realize this is just because in donald trump's addled mind it will stop obama coming back after a trip abroad. that's quite funny. you can make any comments on the

hamster balls and had them run on treadmills to see if they would be good future research subjects. and this one, that's right, those are two mantis shrimp duking it out. the result? the shrimp that hits more, not harder wins. price tag, $707,000. then there's this question. >> will you be there to help a hipster in need? >> a $5 million study seeking to reduce smoking among young adults. in all three cases the researchers and granting institutions defended their work. monkeys provide test subjects to study on neurological disease. shrimp on their strong shells can lead to future weapons and defense systems and those hipster parties provide the first effort to counteract the tobacco companies can bar promotions. but for the senator, it doesn't ad up. >> a lot of the studies are legitimate and useful but a good number of them, who in the world thought up this stuff. >> reporter: it's not just research listed in this nearly 300-page book, but housing
