10:00 am
overall, go for mediterranean, the most favorite diet of "sunday house call." >> sardines? >> sardines and oily fishes are really good for you. absolutely. >> thanks, docs! >> bwe begin with a fox news alert. hello, many's shannon bream. welcome to america's news he headquarters in washington. new york city still reel being from what the police commissioner calls the assassination of two nypd officers. shot to death for simply wearing the uniform by a gunman who officials say traveled from baltimore with one aim -- to kill police officers in retaliation for the deaths of michael brown and arab garner. >> hi, shannon. nypd commissioner bill bratton saying this is a time of great emotion for a department and a city grieving, trying to make sense of the madness following the murder of two of their own.
10:01 am
zb >> today two of new york's finest were shot and killed with no warning, no provocation. they were quite simply assassinated. >> police say 28-year-old ismaaiyl brinsley walked up to an nypd patrol car parked in a brooklyn intersection saturday passenger side window shooting officers, 32-year-old wingin liu and raphael ramos. ramos was a father of two, liu just got married. moments later brinsley shot himself in a subway station. earlier that morning he shot and seriously wounded his former girlfriend in baltimore, maryland before traveling to brooklyn. a poliliolice warning fax arriv the nypd too late to save the officers. the killer posting images of a semi-automatic weapon and
10:02 am
blood-stained pants with anti-police messages suggesting this was in revenge for the deaths of michael brown and eric garner, writing, "i'm putting wings on pigs today. they take one of ours, threat's take two of theirs." last night police officers turned their backs on the mayor, diblasio, moments after he visited the families of the fallen officers, a sign of the growing tensions in the city. this morning eric garner's widow expressed her condolences and had this message. >> i would ask that everyone that is protesting with us, please protest. no non-violent way. my husband was not a violent man so we don't want any violence connected to his name. >> today cardinal timothy dolan offered his prayers. meanwhile, a city wide cancel light vigil will be held tonight in brooklyn at the intersection where both officers were murdered. all flags in new york city have been ordered at half-staff by the governor, andrew cuomo.
10:03 am
>> all right, brian. thank you. let's bring in dan brogino, ron, a former d.c. homicide dekter. first, thank you both. all of our law enforcement officers, men and women who go out there every day don't know if they're going to come home to their families. to have this tragic situation play out, dan, how much do you think at this point we should be thinking about what led to this, what things may still be percolating out there that could possibly be tamped down to save other lives. >> we have to talk this through and look at what led to this. there were irresponsible voices out there that blew a golden opportunity to have a genuine conversation about policing in america, why technology hasn't kept up. why it is a seemingly bina lly equation.
10:04 am
shoot or don't slohoot. why in some communities the perception is police are after them. the opportunity was completely blown in my opinion by hustlers out there who took every opportunity to gain political advantage and absolutely decimated communities in the process. >> ron, how do we have this conversation so people of all ages will know that police are there to help and protect them. we're not saying there is never a corrupt or bad police officer in any workplace, but for the majority of people out there, they sign up to do this because they have a burden or calling to help protect their community. >> you're right. oftentimes these police officers live in the communities in which they're sworn to protect. i was in ferguson, missouri, during the riots, both of the riots, back in august and in november. i remember seeing a lot of parents actually tell their kids the police are bad people. this is what the parents were telling children, the police are bad people. i also saw several experiences where there were individual protesters chanting "a good cop is a dead cop."
10:05 am
i literally saw people spit on the faces of police officers. but the police officers were told to stand down. by who? the governor. the governor told them don't react to this. right? so i think that add the fuel to the fire, if you will, for the actions of this guy yesterday, not only from governor nixon out there but also from people like al slarp tharpton, mayor diblas. i don't blame them from turning their backs on him. >> how can mayors, how can governors better handle this so that police officers feel they're supported, the community gets the message that those kinds of chants are never going to be acceptable. we do have a first amendment but there are limits on that. dan, where do we go from here? >> one thing -- i think that the "don'ts" are more important right now than the to-dos. i can't give you a solid answer. i can absolutely tell you what not to do, that's what mayor
10:06 am
dibloz yiblasio did and step ish the podium with no evidence whatsoever -- race was involved, there's no question -- but that racism was involved was a leap way too far that may -- may have. i don't want to blame the mayor exclusively. that would be irresponsible. but may have played a role in this. grotesquely irresponsible and completely abdicated his leadership role. >> rod, what can we do on the other side of the equation who feel they're targeted by the police, wronged by the police, many saying we don't have a voice, it's been happening for decades, we want to be heard. how doo we he we address their s in a consufficietructive way? >> pleating with their local community leaders and stop listening to some of the hate-filled messages, shannon, that's been thrown at some of these people by some of these so-called leaders. that's not helping the situation. i can tell you that the incident yesterday involving those two innocent young police officers set whatever progress we made in the past two months, set it back
10:07 am
about two months because that is not representative of how we solve situations and problems in this kwunt. it w country. it was a horrible situation. police turned their backs on these local officials and so-called leaders and think it needs to stop. >> i want to reference a poll about race relations and this conversation we are trying to have, asking do you feel things are better or worse since president obama took office. a lot of people thought this is such an historic moment to elect an african-american and we're going to have positive change. people now saying -- 19% believe it is better since president obama took office. 62% say worse. 17% say no difference. where does that leave us in this conversation? >> i think the important consideration we need to have is why there are people out there who are lev veraging division aa form of political capital instead of bringing us together. i was a secret service agent during the inauguration. i don't know what the black
10:08 am
experience in america was like to have to live through jim crow and have to drink from a water fountain that's said colored. i can't imagine the indignity of that. i can't understand that. but to watch the faces on inauguration day to some of those people crying, the special moment that was, to have been completely blown for political advantage and to use this as some form of political capital, dividing us saying these people don't like you, is a blown opportunity of historic -- literally historic proportions. >> let me just echo what my colleague is saying. i do know the black experience. i can tell you, yeah, we've had issues in this country. we still have issues in this country. but we have to do like we've always done as a nation. first we have to stick together. external and international terrorists look at situations like this as an opportunity for them. so we have to stick together. we have to communicate and we have to work towards a positive resolution. there's been this growing underground vij tan --
10:09 am
vigilantism against policing in america and that has to be looked at by our justice system. >> thank you for this conversation today. another police officer dead after an early morning shooting outside tampa, florida. detectives say they do have a suspect in custody. according to police, the man sharp tarpon springs police officer charles condick. he was a father of five and former nypd officer himself before he joined the tarpon springs force several years ago. cuba's close to the united states. it is in our hemisphere. it is our neighbor. it is a country that we have a direct interest. it's in our interest for cuba to change and this policy gives us hope that we'll see a different cuba. >> we're dealing with very bad and evil people, repressive regime that's backed terrorists
10:10 am
around the world and is going to threaten the national security of america and not improve the lives of the cuban people. >> you're hearing from senate foreign relations committee members, a democrat and a republican, debating the president's actions to open up u.s.-cuba relations after half a century. wooem we'll talk to two florida representatives with two very different views on this. republican congresswoman illian that ross lay ton but first, florida's democrat congresswoman saying it is going to help businesses in her district. she supports the action. hopefully helping the people of cuba as well. she's joining us live from tampa. congresswoman, thank you for your time today. >> thank you, shannon. >> having grown up in florida and spent many years practicing law in tampa, very familiar with the cuban community, how vibrant it is, what an influence it is and how much of a contribution it's been to southern florida. but let me ask you, do you feel like what the president is proposing, these changes, are directly going to benefit the
10:11 am
people. cuba or do you think, whatever economic benefit comes is actually going to be concentrated on the leaders who are oppressing them? >> yes. well, thank you. after 50 years of an ineffectual policy, it is important that america take this step. this is an historic change for both america and cuba. you're right, i represent a community that has a large cuban-american population. they are very supportive of this change. as the business community is. my greater tampa chamber of commerce has traveled to cuba on a number of trips to explore opportunities and press for improvements in civil rights and human rights. and i traveled there in a fact finding mission last year. and cuba is changing. there is a growing private sector. new small businesses and entrepreneurs. and unless america is engaged to urge that along, the cuban people will continue to suffer under this failed communistic experiment. >> there are critics who feel like the u.s. didn't quite get much, if anything, out of this
10:12 am
initial agreement in the swap and things that were done. in new jersey there are a number of people raising concern about a convicted cop killer who has been hiding out with political asylum in cuba for decades now. governor chris christie today releasing a letter to the president saying "i urge you to demand the immediate return of her before any further consideration or restoration of diplomatic relations with the cuban government." he goes on saying, i know you're considering taking cuba off the state sponsored terrorism list until this woman, lo is a domestic terrorist, and other fugitives hiding out in cuba, are returned. what should we do at this point to exert pressure in those specific caseses? >> when america is engaged we have greater influence in pressing for return of criminals. in fact, just last year when i returned from my trip there was this couple that absconded from tampa with their two young boys that were under the custody of the grandparents. because we did not have a
10:13 am
relationship, i had to work as the go-between to help connect my local law enforcement agencies with the officials in cuba. we brought the boys back safely and then the parents were brought back here and prosecuted. those are the kind of relationships we need to foster. we're already cooperating whether it comes to hurricanes, drug interdiction, some immigration but we can do better and we can urge on the economic reforms and human rights reforms when america is engaged. >> do you have any concerns about the message it sends to the rest of the world if we give some type of diplomatic recognition to the castro brothers and others who have tortured and abused people, their own political prisoners there in cuba? >> well, the problem is that america has had a hands-off approach and it has hurt us with our allies across the western hemisphere. when you look at the reaction to the president's announcement, they complimented and encouraged the united states. now we'll have greater influence. i don't think we have much to argue about anymore.
10:14 am
here at the end of the year during the holidays, gas prices are low. that has put us in a very strategic position compared to russia and venezuela. the economy is stronger. this is the perfect time to be talking about improving exports and small business opportunities for americans, creating american jobs. it's already worked here across the tampa bay area and i see that this policy change will help foster new jobs and economic growth in this country and give us more leverage when it comes to human rights. >> congresswoman, thank you for your time today. another one of florida's congress women, eliana ross-lay ton. i want to play a little bit of what florida senator bill nelson, a democrat, says about what he hopes and predicts will be a result of this clang in policy. >> i'll tell you, if this works out and if he gives freedom to
10:15 am
the cuban people, there will be an economic renaissance between cuba and the united states and especially my state of florida. that will be a game changer. >> do you think it is possible those benefits will flow to the cuban people? >> absolutely not. we have seen the obama policy of appeasement throughout the world. and in no place has that yielded the results that america has wanted. in iran we're coddling a terrible regime and they're going to have nuclear weapons. in north korea, our policy of engaging with king jong un, what is the result of that hacking and the sony horrible nature of that. and the taliban, we negotiated with them. what has the taliban gotten better? they just killed over 100 children in pakistan the other day and now cuba is the latest experiment in this checklist that obama has of, gee, let's see what we can get out of here.
10:16 am
cuba, check. iran, check. north korea, check. what we have seen today, just this morning, shannon, more arrests in cuba. fidel and raul castro have said we will not change one thing about the revolution. so this is just one more policy appeasement to the dictators who say, hey, if you take our american citizen hostage, we will give you a lot of rewards for freeing him. this makes no sense at this time. and raul castro has said emphatically i will not change. and we -- president obama pardoned three agents of the castro regime who were doing lamp to the u.s. national security, including one that had a lot to do with shooting down innocent civilians in international airspace, he was pardoned by president obama and
10:17 am
he was supposed to serve two life terms plus. this will not bring benefits to the cuban people, will not bring them any closer to free democrat and democracy. i wish that it would but you're going to give away the store to raul castro and he's laughing all the way to the bank. what a gift. >> how do you respond to those, including the president, saying we've done it one way for 50 years. it hasn't brought about the changes that we hoped. pressure didn't work, in his estimation. so why not try something new? >> well, i turn that argument on its head, shannon. i say, 190-plus countries in the world have been wheeling and dealing with the castro regime for over 50 years and that has not brought the cuban people any closer. so it's not that your engagement or non-engagement is going to move the dial toward freedom. what we have to do is work toward a day where we could get rid of the ruthless thugs, raul and fidel castro, and help bring the cuban people. and the opposition, give them the help that they need. but to ignore the opposition,
10:18 am
that today was jailed again, and say, hey, everything is great because we want fine rum and we want good cigars. you can't do that at the expense of freedom and democracy to a people who have been oppressed for so long. there will be a free cuba and it will come about because of the dissidents who are fighting tooth and nail against the regime, not by coddling regimes that have not earned this gift from the united states, have not earned the trust that president obama has placed on the head of a murderer like raul castro. one more appeasement. it is a checklist. and this administration, oh, my golly, it just can't come to an end soon enough. it is going to be two years of appeasing every dictator under the sun. >> well, i flow thknow that the talk on capitol hill, there will be action. whatever you can do. we heard from senator graham this morning, that congress will take whatever action it can to block what the president is proposing. stay in touch with us. good to see you, congresswoman.
10:19 am
>> thank you, shannon. happy sunday. you heard what the two congress women think about opening up u.s.-cuba relations. we want to hear from you at home. do you think changing u.s. policy towards cuba ultimately will benefit the cuban people? why or why not? tweet me . we'll read some of your responses later on in the show. a boxing legend lands in the hospital. we'll tell you the latest on muhammad ali's condition. could there really be another bush-clinton match-up? ahead on the ballot. our political panel weighs in on some of the election deja vu. president obama officially blames north korea for the cyber attack against sony pictures. so now what? and how worried should you be about more hacks ahead? >> sometimes this is a matter of setting a tone and being very clear that we're not going to be
10:20 am
intimidated by some cyber hackers and i expect all of us to remember that and operate on that basis going forward. ♪ just look at those two. happy. in love. and saving so much money on their car insurance by switching to geico... well, just look at this setting. do you have the ring? oh, helzberg diamonds. another beautiful setting.

10:24 am
legendary boxing great muhammad ali is in the hospital in louisville, kentucky this weekend after being diagnosed with pneumonia. a spokesperson says that ali is in stable condition and that his prognosis is good because his illness was caught early. the three-time world heavyweight champion also has, as you know, parking son's disease. in an interview broadcast today, president obama says he's considering whether to put north korea back on to the list of state sponsors of terrorism for what the president is calling an act of cyber vandalism. the move comes in the wake of a massive lack on sony pictures, one the administration says they've traced directly back to north korea. our chief washington correspondent james rosen joins us with the latest. >> good afternoon. two leading republican foreign policy voices in the senate, john mccain and lindsey graham, saying this morning president obama is wrong about the sony hack attack. mccain calling it an act of war. graham, an act of terrorism. north korea's state run news agency has vowed to retaliate if president obama reinstates
10:25 am
pyongyang on america's list of terror sponsoring n ining natio. the north korean newscaster warning they'll target those responsible not the innocent audiences in cinemas. sony says they still intend to distribute the comedy by a means yet to be determined. however, sony's ceo told cnn's fareed za kara nkaria not a sin studeweudio has offered to assi. senator marco rubio said north korea is not even a government but a criminal syndicate that controls territory. >> you have a person running that country that's mentally unstable, but also someone fully capable of overstichestimating own strength and creates a real catastrophe, not just vis-a-vis south korea but also japan and the united states. >> in an interview on cnn,
10:26 am
president obama defended his criticism of sony for withdrawing "the interview." but the president added the key is not to depict the beleaguered hollywood studio as a "bad actor." >> it's making a broader point that all of us have to adapt to the possibility of cyber attacks. we have to do a lot more to guard against them. my administration's taken a lot of strides in that direction but we need congress to pass cyber security law. >> the bush administration removed north korea from the terror list in 2008 during talks aimed at persuading the flonorto give up its nuclear programs. the country has since detonated two nuclear devices. >> thank you. joining us now, peter brooks, senior fellow of natural security affairs at the heritage foundation and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for ashaia and pacific affairs.
10:27 am
president used the words cyber vandalism. does that capture this in full for sfyou? >> not from me. i'm not sure it is an act of war as senator mccain says. but since they can declare an act of war, we should pay attention. cyber terrorism is a worldwide web wake-up call for us. any time tu try to intimida -- an entire population, that's serious. but i think it is more than vandalism in my view. >> the president says things are being put together for him. one is putting him back on to the state sponsors of terrorism lit list? do you think that goes far enough? >> it is good that they disclosed this. that was really important. i think they can also go after the actors overseas. i'm thinking it may not have come out of north korea itself. maybe directioned by them.
10:28 am
agents are probably available overseas and at other governments to help with that. cyber security is so important. this is an interesting situation because tle didn't attack government systems, they attacked the private sector. private sector has to wake up and realize they can be under attack and it can cost them dearly. we need to consult with our allies. japan and south korea are very important to us in that part of the world. don't know if we want to talk to china about this, they have a pretty bad record. but certain ly it is possible t put them back on the terrorism list but there is a lot more sanctions we can do against north korea. everybody thinks that north korea is so sanctioned, there's nothing left. that's not true. lot of countries, including cuba, probably have more sanctions on them. we can go after their international financing capabilities, international banks. the bush administration did this to great effect. >> do you think that we know conditions for people living in north korea are not great. they don't have freedom. there is a lot of hunger, all kinds of other issues. is there a way to use a scalpel
10:29 am
on these kimpbnds of sanctions that the people themselves, whether they have any improvement in the current leadership is very doubtful -- >> you don't want collateral damage on sanctions. the people are impoverished. they live in a police state. i think we're talking about going after the elites. you have to deter them from doing something loo that again. elites are the ones going through the international banking system. we hear all sorts of stories liquor and our things that are being brought in for the government to buy for the generals to make the leader happy, et cetera, et cetera. when you go through the international banking system, since the regular people aren't going through the international ba banking system, you can make it painful for the government. you need something to deter this sort of act again. we're in the situation of a moral hazard.
10:30 am
if we don't do anything, we'll see this bad behavior again if something is not done to make sure they pay a price and be deterred from doing it again. >> devastating to sony and its employees. but when you think on our electrical grid, our banks, it is a big wake-up call for all of those things that have to be considered. peter brooks, merry christmas, early. still to come, jeb bush makes it clear he is eyeing a possible run for the white house. what does it mean for the gop's bumper crop of potential contenders? we'll ask our panel. plus, reaction from around the world to the execution style killings of two new york city police officers. including from president obama who is now on vacation in hawaii. dan springer is live in honolulu. dan. >> reporter: shannon, president obama strongly condemned the cop killings in new york and also spoke more broadly about the status of race relations in america. that story coming up from hawaii after the break. man (sternly): seriously?

back now to our top story. a gunman allegedly seeking revenge for the deaths of unarmed black men by police officers michael brown and eric garner murdered two new york city police officers saturday. and then took his own life. the police department lost officer raphael ramos and wenjin liu. >> reporter: president obama yesterday took time out of his vacation to unconditionally condemn the murders of those two officers in brooklyn. he also called the men brave and he said that they will not be going home to their loved ones, a very important statement to come out right away. his statement also spoke more broadly saying, "the officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety and for ours every single day and they deserve our respect and gratitude every single day. tonight i ask people to reject violence and words that harm and
10:36 am
turn to words that heal." this is the second full day of the obama vacation here. we know that the president is getting briefed on all the world's news, including what happened yesterday in brooklyn and the attorney general in his administration condemned this attack. he called it an actor barbarism. eric holder's statement went on to say that this cowardly attack underscores the dangers that are routinely faced by those who protect and serve their fellow citizens. as a nation, we must not forget this as we discuss the events of the recent past. those events of course include the killing of michael brown, a black teenager in ferguson, missouri, by a white police officers who ended up not being indicted by a grand jury. president obama has walked a delicate line as racial tensions have risen. he krrecently asked congress fo body cameras for officers. this morning on cnn he spoke
10:37 am
about race in america. >> i assume the best, rather than the worst, in others. but it also makes me mindful of the fact that there's misunderstanding, there's mistrust and there are biases both overt and sometimes hidden that operate in ways that disadvantage minority communities. >> reporter: thant view was conducted with cnn before the killings in new york. the president also said in the interview that progress has been made on race relations and that he is living proof. he also took exception with black critics who say that the nation here is beyond -- inherently racist and beyond help. he said he is being patient because the nation deserves it. back to you. >> dan springer with the president in hawaii, thank you, dan. jeb bush giving a strong signal that he could run for president in 2016. so would he be an automatic front-runner or just another candidate? a fair and balanced debate next. plus, we want to thank all of our service members during

10:42 am
jeb bush's announcement that he will "actively explore" running for president stopped short of officially saying he is throwing his hat in the ring. but it is still shaking up the political landscape. fox news poll shows hillary clinton just ahead of the former florida governor if the election were held today. but if it was, we would miss out on so much fun for the next two years. joining us now, pete snyder, and liz chadovan. jeb makes the announcement/not announcement. pete, what does it do to the rest of the field on the gop side? does this beat up their
10:43 am
timeline? how does it impact them. >> i am actively trying to complete my christmas shopping list today. so look, i think it speeds everything up. we are going to have the deepest field in my lifetime for republicans. it really is an embarrassment of riches. we have some unbelievably accomplished governors out there. grassroots leaders like rand paul and ted cruz looking at it. we're going to have a heck of a field compared to the democrats. they have one flavor and one flavor only. >> this is the one poll for republicans. people who self-identify as republicans who they prefer. mitt romney is the top of the list. i have serious doubts he would ever consider doing this again. let's look at the democratic side. a lot of people say hillary clinton, way out front with 62%. elizabeth warren way back with 12%. joe biden who has to be mad he's constantly left out of this conversation is down there at 10%. we've seen her before as the presumed front-runner, the
10:44 am
presumed nominee and it didn't happen. what do you think about this time? >> i think that she's running. i'm a little surprised -- >> you do. >> do i think she's running. this is interesting because i'm probably going to get some phones calls after this because i've been saying for two years she wasn't running. i actually didn't think she was going to run until a couple of months ago. i'm a a little surprised she hasn't done it yet though. i actually think that elizabeth warren may push secretary clinton to get in a little bit faster. elizabeth warren has said she's not running for president. i believe she's not running for president. but i also believe that if secretary clinton doesn't run for president, you might see senator elizabeth warren get in that race. at. point everyone in the democratic party is waiting to see if secretary clinton's getting in. i think jeb bush's announcement has really pushed this up. what i'm hoping is that maybe it encourages hillary to get in sooner. >> it does seem like the feel
10:45 am
would be that it would be the beginning of the year we'd hear from her and others who are getting sear jeget ing serious about this. on the republican side who do you think could challenge jeb when it comes to connections, fund-raising, all of those kinds of things. >> sure. if you look at just what happened this week, marco rubio tried to steal the spotlight with the cuban issue. jeb bush was not engaged. i think when it comes to establishment dollars and donors, chris christie and jeb bush are going to be facing off for the same type of donors out there. rand paul has his own avenue really through low-dollar grassroots folks who either supported his father who really are interested and engaged with where he's going on civil liberties. >> a lot of young people are interested in senator paul and
10:46 am
the libertarian feel to his version of being a republican. he's attracting a lot of different people. could a lot of people feel a pull from the left side of the ballot as well. that leads to my question, who do you think scares the democrats the most as a viable threat to hillary or whoever the nominee actually is? >> in a general election? >> yeah. >> that's a really interesting question. i think jeb bush is definitely formidable in a general election. i think governor chris christie is very formidable in a general election. don't see him franking making it out of the republican primary -- >> those press briefings and press conferences would be so much fun with a president christie. >> you want someone with executive level experience. that's where governors really come in, which is one of the many reasons i think governor christie and former governor bush i think begin to separate themselves from the field. but it is a deep bench. i really think especially with jeb bush getting in now, it starts now. you're going to have 10, 12
10:47 am
