just ready to go haywire. >> reporter: the fbi raided marquez's home shortly after the two killed 14 people. talking about his close friendship and to farook and other terror plots kate dating back to 2011. the two friends planned attacking a southern california community college with pipe bombs. then, wanted to target drivers stuck in rush hour traffic. both plots were never carried out. >> he has provided them with a lot of detail about the weapons, about the possibly other attacks planned, about conversations in particular with farook. >> reporter: marquez is facing weapons charges and immigration fraud for an alleged sham marriage with a member of farook's family. investigators also say he called 911 after the shooting spree, identifying farook as the killer using his gun. reena and richard? >> brandi, thank you so much. a terrorism-related arrest in harrisburg, pennsylvania, as well. the fbi arrested a 19-year-old on charges he used dozens of twitter accounts to advocate violence against america and to

assist people who wanted to travel to fight for isis. he has allegedly posted information on u.s. military members. agents said the teen was unemployed and lived with his parents. and in rochester, new york, the first guilty plea in the u.s. for a suspect accused of supporting isis. the owner of a pizza shop admitted he tried to recruit terror sympathizers for exchange for a 22 1/2-year sentence. he was caught providing weapons, money and laptops to would-be isis recruits in what turned out to be an fbi sting. a police have a suspect in custody after a shooting rampage in oklahoma. police say pickup truck driver jeremy hardy, terrorized motorists on a stretch of interstate 40. before it was over, two people in two different vehicles were dead. other drivers say they were shot at but not hit. >> we are doing our best to gather the information about

what sparked this. what was going on in his world to make him do this. >> they say hardy was intoxicated when pulled over. he is being held for driving drunk. murder charges are likely. executive martin shkreli, sparked outrage when he raised the price of a life-saving drug by 4,000%. that was perfectly legal. but now, prosecutors say he has crossed the line. linsey davis explains. >> reporter: the 32-year-old known as the bad boy of pharmaceuticals, infamous for increasing the price of a life-saving drug, arrested on unrelated security fraud charges. >> shkreli allegedly ran his companies like a ponzi scheme. >> reporter: according to the

document, he started a hedge fund and allegedly got millions from investors. when he lost their money, he took money from new investors to pay off old ones. then, he took a company called retrophin public. according to investigators, he and the company's attorney, used that company's money to pay off his hedge fund investors. >> the two defendants could you retrophin as his piggy bank. >> reporter: when we interviewed shkreli in september. one of the headlines said you're the most hated man in america. he assured us he was going to drastically cut the cast of daraprim. he cut it to $375 a pill. still, a 2,000% increase over the original cost. online, shkreli has posted hours of video of himself. >> i don't really care about people hating me. >> reporter: that devil-may-care attitude, not as apparent as he left this federal courthouse after his arraignment. he and the attorney pled not guilty. and the amount of bond shkreli

paid to walk out of jail, $5 million. linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> thank you, linsey. and to politics, starting with vladimir putin, offering praise for donald trump. the russian leader calling trump a talented, very colorful person. and the absolute leader of the presidential race. trump saying in response, it's a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond. >> we'll talk about that later. senators ted cruz and marco rubio are maintaining their feud over immigration, which kicked into high gear on tuesday's debate. rubio was accusing cruz of supporting legalizing undocumented immigrants. he says that cruz is not being honest about the issue. cruz stumbled in his response on fox news. and then, tried clarifying. >> i have always opposed amnesty, citizenship or legalization. and i will always oppose

amnesty, citizenship and legalization. and i encourage senator rubio, or any other candidate running to make that same statement. >> after that statement, cruz was hit with some papers thrown by a protester. he left right after that. the protester was upset with cruz's statements about carpet-bombing isis. another day on the campaign trail. that stuff about legalizing illegal immigrants is so inherently interesting to me because marco rubio was pro. there was a point when it seemed as so that was a reasonable position to take. now, the campaign has gone under way. and it's the primaries. and you're appealing to primary voters. and you have to say you're never for it. it's a game as much as anything else. >> that's a good point. people recalibrate.

they get to one side, an extreme. and have to go another direction sometimes. >> it's one of the things that disillusions peoples in politics. where you stand on legalizing illegal immigrants, it's still clear that some people in this race held one position. and now, they're running for office, old another position. and i wonder if you are against legalizing illegal immigrants, you would rather people had a consistent principle. does that make sense? >> the translation of what you just said is -- that sometimes people in politics don't represent what they truly believe in their heart. >> no one ever thought of that before. have i come up with a blinding -- is that as blinding -- >> deep political thoughts this hour. want to remind you the democratic debate tomorrow night. we're going to be hosting, abc will. martha raddatz and david muir. it will be fascinating. >> it will be great. the last democratic debate was

on a saturday night, as well. >> you're going to be watching, right? >> definitely. if you didn't order the hover board gift, it may not arrive for christmas. postal service is only using trucks. airlines have banned hover boards because of fires caused by their batteries. the warmer weather in the eastern u.s. is hurting christmas sales because it doesn't feel like christmas. clothing, the top gift item for the holidays. what stores have on their shelves, cold weather gear. nobody wants it. retailers are resorting to deep discounts to sell it. you need ski boots, a winter hat, gloves, now is time to get them. >> damn straight. >> that's why i wore my summer dress in the dead of winter. >> i like it. what a day for die-hard "star wars" fans from australia. not only did they see "the force awakens" at the chinese theater. they also got married in front of the theater. >> they got married as darth vader and princess leia? >> yeah. and officiated by yoda. >> that's interesting. the ceremony was performed by the jedi master. they spent two weeks camped out

in front of the theater to be first in line. they had camped out before for other movies. but the wedding was the theater's idea. >> all we can say to the newlyweds is may the force be with you. maybe don't get -- don't get a divorce be with you. i should have worked on that harder. >> we'll give you a second to collect your thoughts. in the "skinny," two friends, co-stars that people say are more than just friends. >> yeah. interesting story. hours after the new "star wars" film premiered, social media is on fire with reaction from fans. first, tickets for adele's concert tour selling out in a flash. but the frustration for fans and how much are tickets costing now? that's after the forecast map. >> may the divorce not be with you. >> may the judge be with you.
