President obama now threatening retaliation against russia for what he says was election hacking. The white house is under fire as president elect trump demands to know what they knew and how they knew it. The back and forth between the white house and the trump team does not appear to be going away. Earlier this week white house spokesman accused trump not only of knowing about the russian hacks but encouraging that interference. He doubled down on that position yesterday. He obviously knew malicious site was hurting president clintons campaign. Again. These are all facts that are not in dispute. Mr. Trump responded to those allegations himself. Foolish guy josh earnest. I dont know if he is talking to president obama. You know. Having the right press secretary is so important. He is so bad the way he delivers a message. He can deliver a positive message and it sounds bad. Now mr. Trump also questioned when exactly the Obama Administration learned about the packing and why they didnt do anything sooner to stop it. Fox news learned the russian hacking began in the summer of 2015 and eventually involved in an effort to interfere with the election and was supported by the highest levels of the russian government. Yesterday president obama royed the u. S. Would respond to those hacking efforts. There is no doubt that when any Foreign Government tries to impact the integrity of our elections we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized, some of it may not be. Those statements are very similar to what Vice President joe biden said back in october with a few weeks left in office. Theres no indication when the u. S. Responds. They played so nice for so long mr. Trump and mr. Obama. Remember when he accused mr. Trump of whining when he said there was hacking going on during the elections. Julian assange makes it clear russia is not the inside source to the doshg nc. In the first interview hes talking about the hacking hysteria. Let me be clear. Russia did not give you the podesta documents or anything from the dnc. Thats correct. Can you confirm whether or not you have hacked information from the rnc . We received about threepages of information to deal with the rnc and trump, but it was already public. When asked if president obama was traying to delegitimize mr. Trump when asked if he helped him win assange said yes. How should the u. S. Respond . Log on to the Fox Friends FirstFacebook Page live debate keep talking. He made a stop in pennsylvania he turned a state red for the first time in decades. He called for de regulation, unity and patriotism. Whether it is building cars, producing steel or curing disease, we want the next generation of invasinovation an production to happen right here, right here in america and right here in the great state of pennsylvania.

The latest installment of the star wars saga, it will hit theaters today so should we go see it . How about we ask Kevin Mccarthy who is wearing a star wars suit to wake us up this morning. We love that jacket. The kind of movie the word nerds was invented by the way. How awesome it feels, a married man wearing a star wars suit on National Television right now. This is awesome. What a day. Where did you get that . I got it online somewhere. How is the movie . The movie itself is rogue one. If you are not familiar with star wars it takes place between episode 3 and 4. Episode 3 was 2005. 4 was 1997. The thyme frame is confusing. A group of rebels who attempt to steal the plans for the death star leads right into the original star wars movie new hope. The phenomenally executed film from an action standpoint. There is a twominute scene in this movie that the word nerd it completely defines that. I would watch this two minute scene on a loop for 20 and pay 100 to watch it. Thats how great the sequence is. The movie itself the first part of the film is great. Introduction of the characters is second the middle section i thought was a little bit slow but the ending is exactly what star star wars fans deserve and it delivers in the action department. Not for the younger kids. It is a bit violent at times. Casting is fantastic. Do not see it in 3d or imax. I recommend 2d or adobe. 3d was a little bit dark in the first two parts of the film not worth the extra ticket flights. I gave it a 4 out of 5. Just wait until you see this one scene in the ending. Heres the thing, when i say nerts you are going to be so happy you will feel like crying. We are going to talk to you about the golden globe picks. Quickly la la land.

Good morning to you from the streets of new york city, times square there for you where the lights are always shining bright. A cold one here in manhattan this morning. You are watching Fox Friends First the beginning of the weekend. I am heather childers. I am abby huntsman. We want to get straight to the fox news alert. In the dramatic hour long standoff with a gunman accused of shooting an officer is now over. Police say the suspect who is a wellknown offender barricaded himself in a house firing at officers for several hours. The suspect pointed a gun it at police and started shooting. A 30 year veteran father of three hit in the head. He is listed in serious but stable condition at this hour. The 44yearold suspect is in custody. Two others were arrested. Now to the fox news alert. Retaliation against russia for election hacking. President trump demands to know what they knew and what they knew it. With the escalating war of words. Good morning. Abby and heather good morning to you. The russian backed hacking began in the summer of 2015. It was backed by the heist levels of the russian government involved in an effort to interfere in the election. The Obama Administration was reluctant to expose the hacking earlier this year after the fbi investigation into Hillary Clintons emails it was worried about the appearance of government institutions politicizing the election. Earlier this week josh earnest accused president elect trump the of not only knowing about russias hacks but encouraging that. Earnest doubled down on his remarks yesterday. I can see him as a political pundit. That is disappointing to hear from the White House Press secretary. He essentially stated that the president elect had knowledge of this, maybe even wings. Mr. Trump obviously knew russia was engaged in malicious cyber activity that was helping him and hurting secretary clintons campaign. Again, these are all facts that are not in dispute. Last night at a rally in pennsylvania mr. Trump joined the back and forth and went after josh earnest personally. This foolish guy josh earnest i dont know if he is talking to president obama. Having a press secretary is so important. He is so bad the way he delivers a message. He can deliver a positive message and it sounds bad. President obama waited as well yesterday and a month after the election vowed the u. S. Will respond to russias efforts to interfere in the election. I think there is no doubt i think there is no doubt when any Foreign Government tries to impact the integrity of you are o our elections we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized, some of it may not be. We should point out there are no indications that russias cyberhacking on the u. S. Has decided since the election. There are no indications the u. S. Has responded to the efforts. Heather and abby . This will go on all of this even though president obama accused president elect trump of whining when he said hacking was going on. Fox news contributor Laura Ingraham says she is not surprised since josh earnest has one goal here. It doesnt surprise me at all josh earnest obamas press secretary speaking for the president would be another Agent Provocateur trying to just like with the entire russia story, delegitimize the Trump Victory. The Trump Victory was a repudiation of the failures on our economy, the failures in the National Confidence and failure in Foreign Policy across the board it was repub yags of that. In the rust belt, the midwest, the middle americans who turned out in pennsylvania, with i say which is, ohio, iowa and beyond. They reyekted what hillary was going to do which was going to continue the obama term. Democrats led by nancy pelosi are pushing for an independent investigation into that hacking case.
