administration to name an enemy ha is radical islam. they like to draw relative statements and use moral relativity but afraid of true relativity which is relative to the issue. christians aren't murdering by the thousands, and i say thousands almost weekly, and boko haram is not a christian organization, isis is not christian, iran is not ruled by christians but they're the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. charles: well, some think if you broaden it out, this is a president that chides us on everything. he's always chiding us it's a little belittling it can be about this his defense of radical islam or inability to call out certain elements of islam or how we eat about climb. whatever it is it seems his position is so superior to ours and wave his finger at americans. when it comes to christianity he's crossing a dangerous line

in my mind there's been an attack in christianity on the values for a long time. and guess what? they're starting to chip away at it. this thing in indiana everyone understands we all have rights but christian are on the defense in this country. >> easy to deride those that don't respond with violence or don't respond in overtly aggressive manner. so christians are an easy target. remember the president said you are clinging to your bible and guns. what's wrong with that? the broader context of christian spirituality and the values of judeo-christian culture have given us the desire for freedom and the desire to spread freedom not conquest of other nations our culture is rich because of that and culture is rich because of the diversity, not our exclusion of others. charles: and obviously we've spread that not through colonization but defending the rest of the world with money and blood. back to the other big story of

the day russian hackers gain access to sensitive information in the white house computer system. let's go to fox business' blake berman in d.c. for more details. blake. >> good afternoon, russian hackers are the ones believed to have targeted the white house in october. they targeted the president's schedule and classified information was not compromised. hacking activity originating from russia increased as the u.s. was imposing russian sanctions. a spokesperson for the national security council says they, quote, took immediate measures but the likely russia link reignites cybersecurity concerns for washington along with businesses and infrastructure all across the country. new york fed president bill dudley said -- charles? charles: that was definitely a shocker. thank you so much blake. last hour colonel ralph peters weighed in. he said the russians have a leg

up when it comes to security. >> don't blame the russians, why wouldn't they looked at insecure networks if we allow them to? all nations spy. all nations that have the wherewithal to do so, and we would love to do this to the russians, but putin's administrative networks are much more secure than the white house. charles: ellen mcgeorge alex, how is russia able to crack into the white house. the way you read the stories, one of the things, a run-of-the-mill effort and they got right in there? >> sure, team's technical sophistication is often not an indication of how skilled they are. in this case they used the simple tactic that really worked. previously compromised the state department network and my theory is that they sent using back compromise they sent e-mail as someone from

state department to somebody in the white house, maybe an aide, someone with access to the president's schedule. once they had that access they were able to get information they were after. so we call this a pivot you know, we had access -- russia had access to the state department network. they use that access in order to get what you are really after which is stuff on the white house network. charles: we had a story out yesterday about the faa being hacked, with a relatively known tactic that was i guess hacking 101 in your school of thought. how does this happen? how come our system why do you think our systems particularly at highest levels of government are so unsophisticateed? >> i don't think it's our systems are unsophisticated. if you've been on a government network it is ridiculously complex. the issue is you're going against the world's second best cybersecurity offense team in the russians and we don't have

the policy to back up that. it's ridiculous that we can say, okay, the secretary of state is allowed to run her own e-mail server from her home in upstate new york. this is -- and part of the reason for that understanding is they new the state department network was not secure. charles: is that suggesting hillary's home made network at home is more secure? >> no no, no absolutely not. i understand why they may have used that as a decision-maker, but she cannot compete with the monitoring resources, i'm sorry, ms. clinton cannot compete with the monitoring resources that the state department can provide. and she's in the perfect position of authority to say, or was at the time, to say we need to fix this we need a strong cybersecurity policy for one of the most important agencies we have in the government the state department. makes no sense. so i don't think it's a lack of sophistication, i think it's a lack of understanding that we can't make exceptions for people who are high enough up to say you know what?

i'm going to use the usb because don't you know who i am? it doesn't fly. charles: with their ability to spy on everyone in the country, it would seem to the average person that the white house should not be this easily vulnerable. alex, thanks a lot. your explanations helped us appreciate it. >> my pleasure. charles: let's go to lori simonetti. >> the model s-70 d, d for dual motor, it doesn't cost $70,000, $75,000. here's the thing, this is for the mainstream luxury car buyers. all-wheel drive. key if you live in the northeast during the winter ands from 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds. lots of power. the guys that like cars for that money, i'd rather buy the

. charles: here's a pretty outrageous headline for you, a woman with cancer kicked off a plane because she didn't have a doctor's note? cheryl casone has more on the story in case you missed it. this is a wild one. >> the video in particular is incredible charles. this story has gone totally viral. elizabeth sedway posted a video on facebook after she was forced off of a plane bound from hawaii to san jose california. sedway has cancer and asked for sxra time to board because she felt weak. flight attendants asked her to get off the plane because she

didn't have a doctor's note clearing her to flight. here is a clip from the video. >> you're taking me off the airplane because i don't have a doctor's note saying i can fly? all these people are waiting. and i'm being removed as if i'm a criminal or contagious because i have cancer. no note to fly. >> well alaska airlines that's who she was flying on has since issued an apology, saying, quote -- here's what's interesting about this, charles she had a surgical mask she put on. she said she felt weak, and they got a doctor that worked for the airline to come over and i think on the other side of this you have to remember they're concerned about infectious diseases. if you're on a plane from hawaii to california that's a six-hour flight. they took it too far, they

handled it badly they apologized. that was in the back of the mind of the crew. were they in the wrong? yes. charles: as a form flight attendant, you were going to try to back them up. they were in the wrong. >> they were in the wrong, could have been more sensitive, obviously. in the time of ebola and other diseases, when you're on a plane which is basically enclosed situation for six hours, to have a sick passenger, they were worried about that. again they were wrong. charles: my wife flies, she wears a mask, to protect her from everybody else's germs. >> everybody should do that if you are inclined to do so. it's not against the law. charles: thanks cheryl. president obama launching a new initiative gone from climate change to health problems. warmer temperatures can lead to cases of asthma insect-borne diseases. listen. >> i know if there are more wildfires, a consequence of rising temperatures, that there are going to be more particulates in the air.

we know that potentially it extends the allergy season, and can induce greater incidents of asthma or more severe incidents of asthma. we know potentially as temperatures rise we're going to start seeing insect-borne diseases that are not traditional to north america. charles: joining us is bob beans with the natural resources defense council. you agree largely with what the president is saying? >> no question charles. climate change is driving more sickness in the country. asthma attacks, allergies, heat strokes lyme disease, west nile virus and other sickness carried by mosquitoes and ticks. real health issues that are posing costs in the people. we need do something about it. president is saying let's protect our health and create benefits for people let's do it. charles: i know those things sound good when the

administration tries figure out how much dust particles add up to x-amounts of lives and x-amount of dollars, they go through extraordinary lengths and the calculations are always way off. what's the flip side of this. some say if we get climate change there are places where solid ice would melt and we would have lush gardens more food and people wouldn't starve to death and it would be amazing boom for the whole planet. >> lot of different impacts charles, you are right. look at heat stroke. we looked at 40 major cities, we found right now we have six superhot days on average. days when it is dangerous for folks to go outside. if you are elderly or have respiratory ailments or children, or folks who have to work outside all day. the rate we're going right now by mid-century, charles, 34 of the days a year, that means 2600 heat-related deaths every year in this country. it's a problem.

charles: it's so far-fetched. there are places that have 365 hot days every year, and we can't wait to get there for vacation. my friend wants to weigh in. >> drawing a one-to-one correlation between climate change and everything bad, if you go back for the last years of the obama administration they do climate change this time every year because this is when a lot of things pop up. plants are growing more insects coming out. heat stroke is prevented by making sure you have plenty of fluids. i traveled to guam you are in 90-degree heat. in the military if you're not sweating and peeing you don't have enough fluids. in areas you prevent heat stroke, other methods, and the one-to-one correlation is a political agenda. you breathe air approach the president tells you something, draws a correlation, they push an agenda. charles: bob, we don't have a lot of time left. cut to the chase. how much is this going to cost

me to fix it? >> not going to cost you anything, charles. the solution is to invest in energy efficiency so we work more with less make our workers more productive. build the best all-electric and hybrid cars in the country. power them with more electricity from the wind and the sun do those things to make our country stronger more secure, create a healthier future for our children. cut the danger pollution that threatens us all. charles: if i was trying to sell this thing, i would try them all, too. you articulated very well. thank you, again. hillary clinton hiring a new campaign staffer for one of the biggest tech companies out there. this screams of crony capitalism once again. >> what difference at this point does it make? your mom's got your back. your friends
