irs strategto combat isis abroad. >> here's what i want you to know. the threat from terrorism is real. but we w will overme it. we will destroy isil and any other organization that tries to harm us. eporter: the president called for a review of the visa program that one of the san bernardino attackers used to come to the u.s. and he once again called for tighter gun laws. >> our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, no matter how effective they are, cannot identify every would-be mass shooter. whether that individual 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 answswered hisritics who called for a war against radical islam. he itead labeled isis a cult of death that does not represent muslims. >> we cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be

and islam. that does not mean denying that an extremist ideology has spread within some muslim communities. it's a real problem. muslims must confront it without excuse. >> reporter: the president urged americans not to demonize muslims in the united states. they're our friends, neighbors, and our co-workers. as for the president's republican critics, robin, they said the president offered no new strategy on how to defeat isis. >> we're going to talk about that, jon. thank you. terrorism is now the top issue in the race for the white house. the candidates were quick to react to the president's speech. donald tru even live-tweeting throughout it. abc's tom llamas has that story fofor us. >> reporter: this morning democratic presidential front-runner hillary clinton echoing republicans, saying the u. needs to do more in taking on isi >> 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,

isis by limiting the terror network's outreach online. and clinton explaining to george why she's refusing to use the phrase radical islam when discussing the topic. >> well, t the probl is that that sounds like we are declaring waagainst a religion. >> reporter: donald trump not minneapolising his words saying 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. and he knows what he would have done if he was in that room in san bernardi. >> 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. >> and every iamic militant will know, if you wage jihad against us, you're signing your death warrant.

tweets, trump was live-tweeting during the president's address. these tweets caught our eye. here's one, well, obama refused to say, he just can't say it, that we're at war with radical islamic terrorists. and also 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. george. >> thank you, tom. we're joined now by republican presidential candidate 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. so, how specifically wouldld your war strategye different from president obama's? >> first of all, i would not be spending a lot of time talking 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

they're frustrated is because, you know, we won't even use the words islamic terrorists. >> but 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 systemems and all the monetary mechanisms available. >> but isn't that what president obama is doing? >> well, hold on. 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, sa we should go further,

do you agree with that? want to just blanketly carpet-bomb people. i really want to be much more specific in targeting people want to just kill people in general. >> and finally, sir, you have takea hiin the poll. trump now leading by more than 20 pnts nationally. ted cruz rivaling you both tionally and in iowa right now. what's gone wrong, and how do you fix it? >> basicly, 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? the answer is no, none, not many, you know, maybe hiary. here's the question. who has many 2:00 a.m. calls where they have toake life and death decisions? who has established new things thatave powerful effects on people's lives? that's the kind of commander i

>> reporter: the new campaign, beyond the scale, comes at an important time. pizza with pepperoni, mozzarella with no b loney >> reporter: they brought oprah on board with a 10% stake in the company. she's also a member, writing in next month's ""o"" magazine, i've wishy washed with diets m whole life. for me this is not a diet. i'm a a bona fi convert. >> we still produce weight loss. now we're enhancing our program, based onhe latest science like healthy eating. being more fit. and making time to take care of yourself. i had to he a piece of push kin pie. how just have to have it. >> of course you do. >> reporter: these three women part of a the test group in new jersey says a new focus on their physical and emotional health made losingeight more ton. >> it's more of a mental breakthrough you have to have in

>> it's more about the positive thing. things t thatou can have, that you can do. >> reporter: some finding the plan easier than before. >> you have to look up the points. it was tedious. >> reporter: will you stick with it? >> yes. >> absolutely. >> reporter: weight watchers said 38 of the 40 participants lost weightn the plan. >> i'm down 50 pounds. >> i'm down 30 pounds. months. changed. still going toto do the weigh-ins? >> we are. it's an important metric. but not the only metric. >> reporter: no doubt, people come to weight watchers because they do want t lose weht. now, the foe us is is on the kind of food you're eating. how ch activity you're getting into your life. they think that will be the success to permanent weight loss. it's kind of what we all no. in weight watchers, stst a new mantra to think about the whole body, not the scale and the pounds. just in time for the new year.

let's go over the robin. >> i i'm wh you, george. now to toxic workers. more lely than not, we have all had to deal with one. a new study from the harvard 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

permission to continue. one of the easyiest things to do is walk away. go to the restroom. aup 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 rorolls. 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 combat combat. do somhing 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?

that's not necessarily going to work. you want to be rey. 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. pleaease don't speak to me that y. i think when you're firm as opposed to accucusatory,t 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-il, therefore i wasn't able to do this.

those things. give a specific suggestion as opposed to making an accusation. by giving a suggestion, you avoid t the situation. >> friends may say, j 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. help. seek help from your state's labor department. a therapist. 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 rar and

little once as normal an upbringing as possible. >> princess diana was keen to shelter them. that's w what william and kate are doing with george and charlotte. >> reporter: kate's family will join in at their newly renovated ten-bedroom home. what about uncle harry? >> maybe he'll give them presents other people might not think of. those that will raise eyeyebrows of mom and dad. >> william joking wll watch george try to tackle his prens as he tries to unwrap them. what do you get kids that have everything? prince george he knows what he likes. he aarently likes anything with wheels. he loves helicopters. there you go, guys. now you know. >> runs in the family. >> that's true. thank you, thank you very much. >> let's go to ginger. >> i think i found the biggest

i was watching it last night, and i, you know, pretty familiar with the story of "moby dick" and all that. you brought this to ron howard. you're working with him again. you brought him the screreenplay. you said this was the kind of role that you have alwayays wanted to play. that you could be the actor you wanted to be. what did you mean by that? >> i love the script. in many ways. it's the true events that inspired herman melville to write "moby dick." i love the detail this shows. the character is full of life and adventure. it's a drama in amongst the action sequences. >> what do you thi the public has such a fascination with this story line? why do you think that is? >> it's a timeless thing. i think we love to be swept up in epic adventures. ones that are full of heart and soul and what these men endured for 90 days in the ocean and

the horrific circumstances. the strength of the human spirit. what allows you to continue to fight, not give up. a number of themes i think is something anyone can relate to. >> and it's a wonderful cast that you're working with. and really, very difficult conditions. i saw that you posted this photograph of yourself. now, we know in "thor," you had to gain 30 pounds of muscle. this one you had to lose more than 30 pounds. look at this. in four weeks. is it more -- i know, angela is ing, wow. >> that was this morning before i showered. >> it's amazing what a god shower will do for you. >> that's right. >> is it more challenging to gain or to lose? >> definitely the losing. the gaining is fine. you just e a lot and lift weights. that was underfed. it l to a pretty moody existence. in order to do the story justice, we had to suffer in some way. there wasn't a lot of acting required. >> you had a celery stick.

u play all sorts of games on, if i eat this, maybe i don't eat that. it's just the insnsanity isust nuts. >> during the filming, your lovely wife was pregnant. you have three children now. you say that is your most rewarding role in life. being dad. >> it brings you right back to earth. you actually realize it's what it's all about. it's not about you anymore. ey make sure. >> how about the little one singing you a lullaby. that was so adorable. >> yeah, yeah, no, many times. you spend all your time thinking you're looking after them. but, you also spend the whole day waiting for them to give you one look. one cuddle. i was tired one day. i had my head on her lap. she was soking my hair and singing to me. >> what's special too a lot of people, "ghostbusters." it's coming up. did you hear what melissa mccarthy said, how funny you are.

>> it was fun. i was scared to walk into it, with melissa mccarthy and kristen wiig, and the girls from "satday night live." it was intense. but immediately, one of the the best experiences i have had. more outtakes and cracking up. they said they were looking at you going, oh, my gosh. >> i thought it was the look of, get off the set. >> not at all. thank you, chris. very much. this is truly an adventure. i love a film that after i see it, i start googling to learn more about it. it was brilliant. very well done.
