until we can and i'm quoting him "figure out what's going on." his supporters cheered the idea when he said it. it's being met by widespread condemnation from both parties. more from abc's elizabeth hur. >> we're going to build a wall. it will be a real wall. >> reporter: if you thought donald trump could not outtrump himself. >> donald trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims. >> reporter: with that, he has done it again. that's right. trump calling for a total ban on muslims coming to america. >> our country cannot be the victim of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad. they have no respect for human life. >> reporter: this less than 24 hours after president obama called for more tolerance for muslims following the san bernardino massacre. >> it's our responsibility to reject proposals that muslim americans should somehow be treated differently.

>> reporter: trump's proposal condemned by the nation's largest muslim organization. >> his ideas are not just unconstitutional, they are un-american. have we learned anything from history, mr. trump? >> reporter: it is also sparking a fiery debate on both sides. jeb bush calling trump unhinged. chris christie saying this is ridiculous and hillary clinton tweeting in part this is reprehensible. the stunning call comes on the same day new iowa polls show senator ted cruz on rise. perhaps in part by his answer for isis. >> we were carpet bomb them into oblivion. >> in response to trump, white house officials said simply this is totally contrary to america's values and security. richard and reena? >> thank you, elizabeth. the head of the council on american-islamic relations says trump sounds more like the leader of a lynch mob than a potential president and the gop leaders in iowa, new hampshire,

and south carolina are con depping the front-runner. a spokesman for ben carson says he favors registering and monitoring all people coming into the country but not based on religious. marco rubio tweeted trump's habit of making offensive statements will not bring americans together and jeb bush in addition to calling trump unhinged, he said trump's policy proposals are not serious. >> i the most interesting day in the campaign so far. i think. san bernardino struggles to move forward after last week's horrific terror attack. many county employees returned to work for the first time since the shooting. hundreds of people gathered for another candlelight vigil in honor of the 14 people killed. local religious leaders told the crowd they will rise above the tragedy and come out stronger. >> we're getting new details about the young couple behind the california massacre. the fbi saying both the husband and wife have been radicalized for some time. they revealed a clearer picture how they prepared for the attack

with target practice and enough material in the home to make 19 pipe bombs. here's abc's brian ross. >> reporter: there was no joy, no smiles, as the two future killers arrived in the united states for the first time as a married couple. this picture was taken in july 2014 at chicago's o'hare airport, as american citizen syed farook brought home tashfeen malik, a pakistani bride he met on a matrimonial website. federal authorities are trying to determine if even then they were planning to go to war with america. >> we have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time. >> reporter: the fbi also revealed that the couple took target practice at this gun range just days before the attack. and agents finally were able to question the man who they say provided the couple with the two high-powered riffles. authorities say enrique marquez, a convert to islam, is now being questioned about his relationship with farook. he and farook grew up next door

to each other in this neighborhood. >> they were very close friends. if anybody in this neighborhood, enrique was the closest to syed. >> reporter: overseas, the investigation is focusing on the wife's background and contacts in pakistan before she came to the u.s. malik's official photos show her evolution from the young woman wearing makeup and a scarf, her hair showing in a college application, to a still loose veil, but no makeup, in a national i.d. card, to this photo, applying for a u.s. visa, with traditional veil, and finally, her arrival at o'hare airport in a strict, conservative black headdress. >> she's probably the most radicalized of the two of what we've seen so far and could easily persuade a spouse. >> reporter: only a few years ago, farook appeared to be just another californian millennial, looking for love. but he, too, underwent a transformation in how he presented himself, after travels to pakistan and saudi arabia,

and then his marriage to malik. as the fbi found when it raided the couple's home, they tried to cover their tracks by destroying phones and computers. president obama says there's no evidence of a broader plot or larger cell but law enforcement authorities tell abc news there are a number of leads they are still about your suing that could, could lead to additional charges against suspected accomplices. brian ross, abc news, new york. thank you, brian. prosecutors in london says there's a link between the subway slashing there and the terror attack in san bernardino. they say the suspect had pictures of the attacker's mobile phone along with images of the paris assault. they're calling the slashing an act of terror. of muhaydin mire has been charged with attempted murder. he made a brief appearance in court yesterday. senator a two-star admiral fired from his position for being drunk and naked in public. david backham becomes the most senior official to be removed from his post this year.

investigators say that the officer was so intoxicated during a conference at a florida hotel he could not stand. video later showed him wandering around his hotel without clothes. he blames mixing alcohol with medication. >> there are a number of closures in south florida because of the heavy rain including the zoo. most of the zoo miami's 3,000 animals are safe because they're their enclosures are elevated. the human areas are another story. it's even possible that some animals like the lions could escape by swimming across the moat. it's not known when the zoo will reopen. a slightly terrifying prospect in the miami area. and the pacific northwest is also seeing record-breaking rainfall. the flood watch continues through thursday. high water closed roads and triggered landslides. accompanying the heavy rain, strong winds and record high temperature, it will be another stormy day in the northwest.

here's accuweather's paul williams. good morning. >> thanks, richard. well, i know in the northwest, are you stick and tired of the rain. it continues to stay stuck on student quite frankly. but is there any relief in sight? actually not. the only relief, that jet will dip farther to the south and spread the same misery into northern california, northwestern portions of nevada and as that front dips and move so will dip and move the rain. we're watching out for the possibility of 6 to 1 incheses of rain near boise and extreme northwest corner of wyoming. >> thank you. thank you very much, indeed, paul. we had a night out last night which we teased so well at the beginning of the show. >> it was the townton abby premier. there's you with your friend. >> so i actually do know, it was a bit of a disaster in a way. i do know hugh bonneville. i took reena to the premier of the new season in midtown

manhattan to meet him. i e-mailed hugh and said we're coming. we got there and it turned out the cast were only going to appear after the screening and we were quiet hungry. so we decided to go to a restaurant. no need for a spoiler alert because we never saw the new season of "downton abbey." >> it's probably good for pbs. i think we would have indirectly kind of -- you were more fascinated with our walk back to the studio to get back here in time. here's richard. take a look at these photos. richard with christmas lights. you were so excited. you said look at this. we took this. then you went to see the statue of liberty. >> not everything in new york is beautiful and tasteful. >> you were so excited to be walking down. >> i felt like a child and i get very excited by a lot of things. that was great. listen, i'm sorry that i let you down and you only got as far as a hugh bonneville cardboard
