Critics wonder why the president didnt address the president talking about north korean government hacking Sony Pictures. Sony is a corporation, it, you know, suffered significant damage, there were threats against its employees. I am sympathetic to the concerns that they face. Having said all that, yes, i think they made a mistake. I wish they had spoken to me first. I would have told them, do not get into a pattern in which youre intimidated by these kinds of criminal attacks. As for the u. S. Response to north koreas hack they caused a lot of damage. And we will respond. We will respond proportionately and we will respond in a place and time and manner that we choose, its not something that i will announce here today in a press conference. So, greg, sony made a mistake, huh . I guess sony did, and so did, i think the theaters. This thing about him only calling on women today, i figured out this theory, because its december 19, which is the day that bill clinton was impeached who also had a habit of calling on women. So i think it was kind of a subtle tribute to the man with his pants down. And by the way, most america of would not care about this story if the movie was love actually. I liked that movie. That was a jab at dana. I know. I believe that the president has been so concerned on lecturing the world on Climate Change that theres real concrete habits. In this case, whatever he condemns like car gone, north korea smiles because its like, here you have the president of the United States watering his plants while were setting your house on fire. Hes got to learn to prioritize, hes now saying this is a threat, but this should have been a threat all along. K. G. , president obama and hillary clinton, they both blamed the filmmaker. Remember that. Yes, this is the same guy that at sony that made the decision not to air the movie. One was a politically convenient truth and one one inconvenient. Here hes saying something i think is right, that we shouldnt be intimidated. Why didnt he contact them . I dont know, somebody from his office should have contacted to him about it, especially since this is a tcyber crime, they should have been in contact with the u. S. Government, because the federal bureau of investigations was on top of it in getting all the information, sauce the wall street journal was reporting that the white house was going to put north korea on their terrorism watch lift. It was on a terrorism watch list, or a state sponsored terrorism list. It was on and i dont think that kim jongun really cares. I am cure outside about the president s decision to attack a u. S. Company in a press conference. I think that his instincts on that were wrong, because a couple of things, you have to assume that the sony executives had information that we dont have. And its not just i cant imagine its just about their emails, because thats already out there, its embarrassing, it probably cant get much worse. Theyre making decisions as a Company Based on what their lawyers are telling them, make sure the government is informed about the actual hacking and the criminal act. If i were sony, i might ask the u. S. Government why werent you there to protect us from a nation state from attacking us . I think michael linton, the ceo of sony, i got to work with him at the broadcasting board of governors, hes an extremely thoughtful gooir. Today when he did an interview, even when the president attacked sony publicly in front of the world, they were still class si and did not strike that. But they might. If i were sony right now, really, president obama . We made a mistake . I tell you what, were going to release it at the bequest and behest of obama. What do you think of that . Then they hang it on him off themselves. Youre scaring me. The thing that i find amazing is that if anybody believes that north korea can do this without china number one. The other thing is what are you going to do to north korea . In fact . What are you going to do, hack into their prison system . The thing that i found interesting, i hate to say this but i have to. Lets move on to the other big story of the week, the move towards normaliziing u. S. Relationships with cuba. Were not at a stage here where me visiting cuba or president castro coming to the United States is in the cards. I dont know how this relationship will develop over the next several years, im a fairly young man, so i imagine at some point in my life i will have the opportunity to visit cuba and enjoy interacting with the cube began people. Dana, a lot of people are speculating. If youre the castro regime and you run the media in cuba, what you do is you take that sound bite that says im a young man and im looking forward to going to cuba and its going to be great. And theyre like, yes, we are so awesome here in cuba, because the castro regime basically won. History will probably look back and say this is a good decision and at the right time. I just think it could be explained a lot better. You get the feeling that fresh cigars trump cop killer who is are currently serving in havana, theres no theres also a sense that all the bad stuff that happened, its a long time ago, cant we all get together. But its not but its not just, you know, we have had our differences, cuba is a marxist death yard that is actively predicted our demise, and if we had a president who can negotiate some concessions, i would be okay with this, but he couldnt negotiate a hack off a mannequin, and that worries me, its like what are we giving away here. He did mention that he was looking to get 53 people who are looking to be harbored back in cuba. Hes got to say that, otherwise it looks really bad. Maybe he watched for his monologue. Thats what it is. It all ties back to the im sure hes looking forward to going to cuba, its like a commercial for cuba, when the nfl quarterback says im going to disney land. President obama, im a young guy, im going to cuba. Its perfect propaganda for them and it sort of just washes away all the Human Rights Violations and justices from this team. When with beyonce and jayz went there, it was like hey, mr. President , you ought to go here too. First thing i want to say is i was in the white house during the boat lift, and while i think youre too old for me, i decided. I was there during lincolns second inaugural. They put everybody, all their nut cases and they dumped them and actually cost bill clinton his governorship in arkansas because part of that went to kim. U but in any event, lets keep in mind these negotiations are ongoing, i do think he will get released unless and if congress does still have the power of the purse, they can build an embassy or not build an embassy. Kwhoyou know what would be a amazing move on president obamas part. If he were to intimate or say that he were to name illiana ross as the first ambassador, i would sail through. It would. Incoming majority leader senator Mitch Mcconnell has said the Keystone Pipeline will be at the top of the gops agenda when they take control of the senate in january. But that doesnt mean that president obama will cooperate, listen as he takes a dig at what could be a boom for america and american workers. I would just like to give this perspective because i think theres been in tendency to really hype this thing as some magic formula, and to what ailes the u. S. Economy, and its hard to see on paper where exactly theyre getting that information from. Well do this one that were very quick around the horn. Greg do you want to start . I dont understand this bizarre obsession, we have 2. Th2. 5 million miles of pine lines. Pine lines are the under ground heroes, they take care of our water, gas, natural crude oil, all under beneath our streets, going through our cities and towns, rivers and forests. The potential for train accidents is far more dangerous than pipeline. We have 2. 5 million miles of pipeline, why is this a problem now . He also said at the very end of his keystone little answer, by the way, keystone wont have an affect on pipelines. Somebody ripped about six pages out of the manual, because it seems he just missed the boat, i guess he doesnt watch your show. The fact that your gas prices are plummeting. The pressure is off a little bit. But they passed a bill, and as a keystone pine line, he will sign it. A lot of people heard theyll get a bill through. Before the election, i would have said bob was right and i actually said keystone is probably the one thing that theyll be able to Work Together on. I think he doesnt give a rats you know what . Sure, what do you mean by you know what . Beeper. Then she met you. 2014 was an explosive year in america with the president obama commented on the relationship between the Africanamerican Community and police. Like the rest of america, black america in the aggregate is better off now than it was when i came into office. U who were thinking about Race Relations has been colored by ferguson, the garner case in new york, a growing awareness in the broader population of who many communities of color have understood for some time. And that is there are specific instances at least where the where Law Enforcement doesnt feel as if its being applied in a color blind fashion. Bob w all thats going on, race is better today than when he was going with president obama. I agree with that, but beyond that, trying to focusing on cops murdering blacks is the wrong way to go. What i think he said here is right. It is a black community, and they get stopped more, they get frisked more, they get stopped more . Now or six years ago 134. I think probably a little bit less than it was. But still, 99 of cops are fine, i dont believe theres many racist cops in america. I just dont think you can say its all fine. Theres a lot of people that get stopped by cops, you just have to they are profiled, lets be honest about it. A lot of it is mistaken as profiling because there are Police Officers working hard in those communities to protect the law abiding citizens in that community from the lawbreakers, so it just stand to reason that however i have no qualm with what he said, ill thought what he said was sensible, and it was sober. And i think i thought it was fine. I think so too, i can maybe just make a comment about overall, this being the last press conference of the sixth year, and now he go into the next two years. None of that is actually going to stick because it hasnt gone through congress. He faces a very different situation in january with a new congress thats a lot more republicans, not just on the senate side, but that will be the biggest difference, but on the house side as well. And what will happen pretty quickly here, is reporters are going to start looking past him to see whos behind and theyre going to start covering the campaign and that will be i dont know why he did not raise isis, isis just took the biggest hit they have had, they have raised a lot of questions within the was peek. I think we have seen the president obama that were going to see. I dont think i think that he can be very charming behind the scenes, when he gets to the podium, it seems like hes still campaigning and he doesnt have to do that anymore. George clooney may be one of hollywoods heavyweights, but he couldnt stand up against the sony hackers. Send in your questions for us on your facebook page. Fnc will be right back. George clooney tried to get it tells you that celebrities only join causes that benefits their profiles. If theres a hint of risk, they fold faster than Harvey Winestein. As for the ways to climb the ladder of compatible compassion. Only so many celebrities flock to green causes. If you march against fracking, maybe no one will not that your last movie tanked since thanksgiving. I thought hollywood was the land of the rebel. All those antiheroes they create by the bushel, the edgy bad as that struts into town, wired from its just an onscreen bluff, those brave performances, are just performances, jello has we have often exposed the hypocrisies of hollywood now they eric, good that mr. Cleooney called out his peers. He could probably get i find it very interesting that Sony Pictures puts out this statement staying they stand by the first amendment. Theyre pointing toward mo theaters and theater groups. Like they said in the a block, you got Sony Pictures blessing, go ahead and release it, i place a big finger at sony not the movie theaters, theaters have the risk that if something bad happens. They play it though, but i guess it happens on demand. We were putting it out there, or they could do it on demand, they do it digital. Theyre talking a big game, lets see if they can put up put up or shut up. They should play it against the walls of giant skyscrapers, bring them out, truck with a camera. We need drivers. I miss the driveins. I love the drive ins. God knows you probably never saw a movie another at one. The best part was the playground. There was like swing sets. There wasnt at mine. Greg, do you remember the ones they had over at the cow palace in the bay area . Those were good old times since the accident. Dana, i dont know what i was going to ask you, they play with heroes. The fact that they folded quicker than a cheap tent. Thats pretty good. Under a Harvey Winestein in a bathtub of something. Im trying to be you. But sony says here in a statement, to be clear, that the only decision they have made with respect to the release of the film, was not to release it on Christmas Day in theaters. So theyre trying to be very specific. Why are they doing this two days after the fact is because theyre trying to catch up. They have a crisis on their hands. I think that one of the reasons that they were hesitate to say theyre going to release it on demand. Sony might have information we dont have. But the big Production Companies havent wanted to go just straight to demand because if they did that, who would go to the movies . Everybody would say just release it all on demand so that we can watch it at home. You can get tvs that are better than movie theaters. This is a great opportunity for them to be creative and strong at the same time. Come up with and different idea, different approach, do something instead of just caving in. Just to defend sony, i just think that making that decision in this twoweek period, is probably easy to do, but its probably fraught with a lot of details. And fbi information, we dont know everything that they know, perhaps there was specific attacks planned and they had some Real Intelligence and that was credible. We do know that clooney could not get anybody to sign this petition. This is going to come back to haunt them. They didnt make a movie about this because they cant portray themselves as heroes. If hollywood would stop could i do a quick thing on sharpton . Because now all of a sudden, sharpton has inserted itself once again into a controversy because of the emails between the head of sony and now hes like, hes now controlling the conflict and we got to stop with him followed by giulianis response. Had hollywood not had such an exclusionary almost all white hierarchy, one could look at the context difference. But being that hollywood is an environment that still resembles 1950s america. It is a context that is confirmed by the language. The jury is still out on where we go. The jury is out . I only saw one member of that jury, it was him. Its got to be ridiculous. Now hollywood is going to have al sharpton as the jury and north korea as a sensor. Well get to see the movies that al sharpton and north korea liked. Hollywood has caved to north korea and now al sharpton, im not sure which is worse. The thing about al sharpton thats very addition very disin here. I want to say one thing to sharptons credit, the guy figures out a way to get into everything. They dont have to bring him in, but they brought him in, the guy has figured out a way to get i would like to have his frequent flyer miles. Unbelievable. Its almost like a magic act how this guy inserts himself into every single hes forest gump. Houdini.
