Brown. Here is mayor de blasio today calling for demonstrations and protests to at least pause in reading from the same script at two separate events. Regardless of peoples viewpoints, and everyone recognizes its a time to step back and just focus on these families. I think its a time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things that we will talk about in due time. Im asking everyone, and this is across the spectrum, to put aside protests, put aside demonstrations, until these funerals are passed. Lets focus on these families and what theyve lost. . lou this, of course, the same mayor who met with the antipolice demonstrator leaders last friday. The same mayor who insisted on describing a demonstrators assault on two Police Lieutenants as an alleged attack, despite the overwhelming Video Evidence that absolutely and clearly supported the Police Officers. And the same mayor who today refused to acknowledge his role in what has been a campaign of ignorance and hatred of police, and instead, he tried to blame the media. I dont see reports on the many decent good people. I dont see reports on the everyday cops who do the exemplifiary thing and hold the line and show restraint and discipline no matter what is hurled at them. You know what, im telling you again im telling you over again, thats how you want to portray the world. We know a different reality. Theres some people that do that. Its wrong. They shouldnt do that. Its wrong. Its nasty. Its negative. They shouldnt do that. They, my friend, are not the majority. Stop portraying them as the majority. Lou a sudden shift in tone from the white house as well. Attorney general eric holder top deputy today apparently told to abandon his boss boss inis, answer were races. Now isolated. Not ubig to us as they insist just last week. . do you believe that some of the violence against officers is a result of the Justice Departments effort to try to address Police Tactics around the country . I do not. I think that what you have to be able to do is have a conversation about isolated instances where we see profiling. Now those incidents are isolated, not pervasive. Isolated. Not cultural or systemic. Reality and language coming after attorney general holder said two weeks ago, quote, Police Practices and Community Distrust are real and significant. Here is president obama just a day before, calling for more protests and demonstrations, suggesting america is a racist nation and claiming some Police Departments dont want to end racial bias in their ranks. Obama as long as theyre peaceful, i think theyre necessary. The vast majority of Law Enforcement officers are doing a really tough job. And most of them are doing it well. But a combination of bad training, in some cases, a combination in some cases of departments that really are not trying to root out biases, and in a lot of cases, subconscious fear of folks who look different, all of this contributes to a National Problem thats going to require a national solution. Lou a National Problem with a national solution. Which today, today, three days after two Police Officers were shot and killed in new york, has become a very local problem. An isolated problem. In their new rhetoric of those leading the campaign of ignorance. Mayor de blasio now faces what has become a firestorm of criticism from the most diverse Police Department in this country, which patrols the safest big city in the country. Listen to this blistering scathing condemnation of de blasio from patrick lynch. We tried to warn. It must not go on. It cannot be tolerated. Thats bod o t hand itartonhe epf cit hll i the ficef thayo lou ur fst gst tonht saysynch has it exalyig andelio is wrong. Bernard is a former new York City Police commissioner. Also the former new York City Department of corrections commissioner. The founder and ceo of the kerrick group. Good to have you with us. I cannot believe that i listened to the mayor talking about now is a time not for protest and politics, but focusing on the families, which is one thing he didnt do in the course of the first 48 hours. Well, i would agree with him. Now is the time to focus on the family. You have two dead cops that have to be buried. Its extremely important that the city looks out for and takes care of thei for children. And gives them the sending off that they deserve, with honor and dignity. Its a tragic, tragic, horrific time for the city. Lou it is. Its a city run by a man who until this point, until this very day, have be of those leading a National Campaign of hatred against Law Enforcement, a campaign as ive said in this broadcast, a campaign of ignorance, thats got to end. It is at this point not ending. I think i think hes going to have to realize that that rhetoric, that anticop, racist rhetoric thats been perpetrated by him and sharpton primarily in this city, it has to stop. This, the assassin of these tops, he had mental illness. If you want to dig down and look at things. Why was this guy out on the street . You can look at the criminal justice system. Why he went to prison. Why he wasnt treated. Theyll get into that. At the end of the day, that guy killed those two cops because he believed all the things that was said by de blasio, by sharpton and others about the Michael Brown and garner incidents. Things that were lies. Things that were lies. They were lies perpetrated over the last several weeks, months, concerning those two incidents. Lou well, the president of the United States, for crying out loud, has been saying things as youve heard that racism in this country is pervasive. We have some clacking clucking lapdogs in the National Media rather than watchdogs who simply have let him go unchallenged. I completely disagree that racism is pervasive in the Police Community around this country. Wed be naive to think that some cops didnt have racial issues. Wed be insane to believe that. Lou if thats what theyre saying, we wouldnt be here. What theyre saying is pervasive and theyre wrong. Theyre wrong. Theres two substantial things theyre wrong about it. The pervasive racism, one. And, two, cops go into minority communities to target and harass minorities. No, they do not. They dont. They go into those communities to address crime. They go into those communities because they are attacking crime. Theyre not targeting blacks and minorities. Theyre targeting crime. And we proved that in new york city. Because those minority communities have been the they have they have received the most substantial reductions in crime in the nation. Violent crime 80, 85 . Homicide down by 80 . Yes, they went into those minority communities did a job there. The minority communities are much safer today than theyve ever been. Lou its important to note. In nearly all those instances, they were asked to come into that community to solve a problem to stop a crime, to solve a crime. Thats right. And thats right. The people that call for the cops, those cops dont answer that radio, that theyre dispatched from and ask what the color of the person is thats making the call or theyre not going. They go. They put their lives on the line. They do it every single day. And this has been the reward theyve gotten for it. Lou the mayor, do you believe that he has blood on his hands . I believe the rhetoric that he has spewed over the last several weeks is partially to blame for this incident, yes. Lou is there in your judgment a clear direction forward because the video of those Police Officers turning their back on the mayor as he went into the hospital, i mean, thats one of the most compelling images ive ever seen. I think the direction forward has to be i think will be brokered, if you will, between bratton, the mayor, and the Police Department. Bill i have an enormous amount of respect for the police commissioner. Lou as do i. Hes done a tremendous job. The architect of Crime Reduction in this country. I think he has to fix this relationship. But the mayor has to understand, he is the commanderinchief in the Police Department. He needs to support these men and women. Lou i saw the mayor in a moment of which he had been exuding contrition over two appearances, where he started to the reporter, and talking about medias role in what has become this campaign of ignorance. I mean, i was astonished because it was clear that he is not accepting responsibility. Its clear that his contrition is more convenient, expedient than it is sincere. I dont see i dont personally have a lot of hope for what this man can do intellectually or emotionally to bridge a gap, a divide between himself and 35,000 members of new yorks finest, who keep this city safe. I mean, what weve watched is ignorance, and its unchallenged ignorance by most of the National Media. Well, nobody nobody would combat him. Nobody would say knock it off. What youre purporting is a lie. The stuff about race, the stuff the anticop stuff. The stuff you know, the talking about the Michael Brown incident as tragic as the garner and brown incidents are, Michael Brown, did not have his hands up. Michael brown attacked the cop. He attacked the cop. He resisted arrest. Tried to take his gun. You have people saying its race. Neither one of those incidents was racerelated. And garners family, his daughter lou and his wife. And his wife have said that. But you still have leaders in this country lou racially exploited. Whether their names are obama or holder or de blasio or sharpton as you say. Good to see be mr. Kerry. Thank you so much. North koreas internet today suffered a massive outage just days after president obama promised proportional retaliation for the countrys devastating cyber attack on Sony Pictures. The pentagon denies us involvement today while the president denies our country is in a cyber war with peon yang. Obama i dont think it was an act of war. I think it was an act of cyber vandalism that was costly. Well respond proportionally. That contradicts a 2011 decision to label all computer Cyber Attacks from other nations an act of war. President obama also went on to say hes considering adding north korea to the list of sponsored terrorists sony says theyll eventually release the interview, the movie, but its not clear on what platform or when.

According to the new survey from the military times, poem president obamas approval hit a low. His disApproval Rating shot from 40 back in 2009 to 55 now. Our next guest is not surprised by tho dial numrs becse pridenobam has never gvenheiltary th rourc to acmpli t missio at hhas orred tm cple. Joing usnow i tired four star army general, army chief of staff jack keane. Chairmen of the institute for the study of war. Fox news military analyst. Good to haveou. Ood be here, lou. Lo those numbers, those are appalling, did dismaking. Surely he must be hurt. This is about the policy, not the person. Pulling out of iraq. They know what happened. They knew what would happen. The soldiers who were out there, the young sergeants and officers, theyre attuned to they a obama never gave them the forces to do the surge in afghanistan and pulled them out prematurely. They know hes pulling the forces out of afghanistan now. They know that they know none of that makes sense, the guys there. Lou so much has not made sense for the better part of a decade. Its truly extraordinary that were in this situation. I, for one, do not see a path out of it, either from the Republican Opposition from the senate, from the house, certainly not from the white house. Do you . No. From the Foreign Policy and National Security issue, the fact that we have disengaged in the world, he sees the United States has a different role. Hes made the world a more dangerous place. Radical islam is up four times in the last few years. It wasnt too long ago that after bin laden was killed, alqaeda was on its heels, this thing is over. At that moment, it was on the rise. Lou the white house doesnt want to use the word taliban when describing that horrible attack in which over 100 kids were killed in a school in peshawar. He doesnt want to use the expression rallied islamisradicalislamist because e might get offended. A general last week at the pentagon said we dont want to call did the islamic state. We want you to call it das daesh. Thats whats been advised. What in the world are we coming to that a general is telling the media what he wants them to call the enemy. When we cant get the white house to say radical islamist terrorists. Yeah. If it wasnt such a serious issue, it would be laughable. The fact is, weve never defined radical islam, not just the name of it, weve never defined the movement. How do you deal with an Ideological Movement when you wont talk about it. Why does this have appeal to young people in that part of the world . How do we counter that narrative . Lou actually, ive done that on this very broadcast. Did it 12 years ago, as our special forces and our clandestine forces were moving into afghanistan and ultimately defeating the taliban, with leading islamic scholars, arabic scholars. We defined in discussion, radical islamist is the correct term and its the one to which we adhere. The fact is, that hasnt been done by the federal government. Hasnt done it for political reasons. It doesnt want to be real to the american people. Its mindboggling. Why is there this resistance to naming our enemy . If youre not willing to name it, and if youre not willing to define it, then you dont have a comprehensive strategy to deal with it. We sit here 13 years after 9 11, and its pretty sad commentary that we dont have a comprehensive strategy to deal when this Ideological Movement. Its not that we would defeat it by ourselves. We need lots of help in doing it. But we have not done that. Lou we dont need a lot of help to kill the enemy. We need a little to understand them better and perhaps contain them. But to kill them, do we really need a lot of help . No. But we need all of them its from those countries that this movement grows. That kind of narrative and undermining this ideology, we need all these countries. We can help them participate in the conflict. We have skill sets that weve learned in the last 13 years. Lou i will confess as we wrap up. I fear were having this discussion maybe ten years too late. Well, im still optimistic. Lou all right. I think were one leader away. Lou you know, im afraid history is supporting you. We seem to have spent much of the last decade or 21 leader away. We always have the real leader here. General jack keane. Great to have you with us. Merry christmas. Time to look at our online poll results. Do you believe on a matter of National Security, the white house should have called Sony Pictures rather than wait for sony to call them . 87 of you said yes. It would have been sort of not leading from behind. Right . Be sure to vote in tonights poll. Is there any way president obama, al sharpton, or mayor de blasio can ever make amends for their campaign of ignorance against Law Enforcement agencies and officers. Wed like to hear from you. Cast your vote on loudobbs. Com. The war of words between rand paul and marc marco rubio escalating. This time senator rubio says paul has no idea what hes talking about. After the senator from kentucky supported that initiative. This fight playing out on the sunday talk show host. It was terrible. First of all, if he wants to become the chief chair leader of obamas Foreign Policy. He has the right to do that. Ill continue to oppose the obama poll Foreign Policy on cuba. It wont lead to freedom and liberty for the cuban people. Paul tweeted marco rubio forget to mention he supported the arming of the islamic rebels and hillarys war in libya. Take that. A multi layered campaign of ignorance aimed at the local and state Law Enforcement agencies. Prefacerring the execution of two new york cops. Accountability is assigned here next physical therap.
