going to get dog! she was so excited. that's coming up christmas eve and christmas right here on fox. >> i can't wait. thanks for sharing that with us. >> stay safe. bill: police departments around the country on high alert in the wake of a deadly attack on two new york city police officers. this as we learn more details about the gunman who shot and killed two police officers execution style. there was a lot of reaction to this not just in new york but a the country. i'm bill hem bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum.

this shooter ismaaiyl brinsley killed ken liu and rafael ramos. >> he said watch what i'm going to do. he walks north bound on tompkins, circles back around and comes up behind the police officers. bill: jonathon hunt is there where it all unfold >> reporter: there is shock and sadness at the point where those officers were killed. there has been a steady stream of people paul morning coming to pay their respects, police officers among them.

a short time ago we saw a group of a dozen nypd officers who stood silently as they paid their respects to officers rafael ramos and wenjian liu. those two gunned down senselessly. ismaaiyl brinsley pumping four bullets into the closed passenger window of the patrol car. those two officers never saw him coming. bill: the story is he acted alone. has that changed? >> reporter: they say it's a lone act by ismaaiyl brinsley who had a grudge against the police. after he shot his former girlfriend in baltimore he traveled here by bus and during that time he posted on

instagram. i'm putting wings on police. # eric garner, # mike brown. i'm putting pigs in a blanket. this following the none indictment of the police officers in michael brown and aaron air garner. >> we need an opportunity to move it forward. i came back into the department a year ago and we seeds on this tragedy and all these issues and we'll move forward. >> reporter: some nypd officers have put some of the

blame on mayor bill deblasio who they believe has not been supportive nypd. he's due to make remarks at a police athletic event at 1:15. those are remarks that will be watched across this city. martha: this attack showing a spotlight on the growing rough between the mayor bill deblasio and the police commissioner. >> i think when the mayor made statement about he had to train his son who is biracial to be careful when he's dealing with the police, that set off this latest fire store. martha: detective bo dietl on

the mayor's relationship with the new york city police. bill: the new york yankees stepping up to help in this time of tragedy. the yankees foundation will pay for the education of the sons of one of the two officers murdered. officer rafael ramos has a 13-year-old son and another son in college. ramos' family speaking to the family where he group and where his mover still lives today. >> i hope and pray that we can reflect on this tragic loss of lives that have occurred so we can move forward and find an amicable path to a peaceful coexistence. bill: his cousin says the officer was a loving man devoted

to his wife and sons. they say the family has forgiven his killer. what will the president say about this now? martha: extraordinary family. what they are saying is very powerful. they are talking about love and forgiveness and maybe we need more that language to deal with the rift that's developed. >> another officer was gunned down in florida in tarpon springs. charles conduct was shot while investigating the report of a man banging on apartment doors late into the evening. he leaves behind 6 children. he was a 7-year veteran with the police department.

the community is mourning his loss. >> we brief as an agency for the loss of the privilege and his family. we grieve for the community who lost a hero. but with that grieving we have to have resolve. we have to move on, we have to heal. >> reporter: the suspect was arrested after he left the scene and crashed his vehicle. he's charged with first degree murder. north korea making a new threat against the united states in the wake that cyber attack on sony studios. the communist country demanding a role into the investigation of the hack attack. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live in washington. what are these latest threats we are hearing from the north

screen regime? >> it's known for its outrageous rhetoric. now pyongyang is threatening the u.s. mainland. so far president obama seems to be choosing his word carefully. >> i don't think it was an act of war. it was an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly and very expensive. >> reporter: the "new york post" is reporting it will be on "crackle" a streaming site owned by sony for free. they are saying this is a serious threat and north korea has the ability to become a huge source of instability. they are saying the president doesn't understand this is a manifestation a new form of warfare. the president calling this an act of vandalism bothers him

greatly. >> saying aloha getting opening an airplane going to hawaii is not the answer. i don't think that's enough. this is a nation state who attacked an american country and threatened violence. >> reporter: the president is using language like the up s. is responding d like the u.s. is responding to criminal activity and they i it's an act of war. bill: the president is calling it cyber vandalism. >> it's a pattern from the president. his inclination is to down play the incident. take his time in responding. defenders of the president say he's being deliberate. he's not going to do something

precipitous. critics will say the president isn't take this serious enough. bill: you say something has to be done. but you make the case no one thinks we are going to do anything. what's that a result of, the red line in syria? >> president obama talks about meadeing to respond and having a proportionate response. but if you look at the past with respect to north korea and a wide range of other issues, which the president says he's going to respond and promises a serious response. we often don't sight. you had the red line with sir why where the president said there would be serious consequences. now crossing the red line is a matter of course. the united states is doing doing nothing. if you remember the attack on

the south korean ship, the president promised serious consequences and basically nothing happened. a third nuclear test from north korea the president said we'll respond, it's important the international community respond and act with resolve, but virtually nothing. north korea isn't expecting us to do anything, the world isn't expecting to us do anything. that's why it's important the president does respond. >> is that it or do you go further than that? >> my question is why hasn't it been done already? the government of the united states has made the allegation that north korea is behind this cyber attack. why aren't they already back on the state sponsor of terrorism? there are things we should do. they have a bureau 121 with 1,800 cyber hackers across the

world. i would think it would become a priority storm the intelligence community to take down those efforts. dismantling that team. >> we'll respond. that's the president's response from friday. we wait to see what happens next. thank you. merry christmas. 12 past. martha: there is a political blame game after a chilling ambush on two of new york's finest. >> if you want to say mayor deblasio contributed to an atmosphere of hate against the police that's true, but so did the president of the united states. martha: they believe mayor deblasio and other leaders contributed to what led to this deadly attack. an emergency landing involving a packed passenger jet. we are hearing the dr. make the

911 tapes from the -- we are hearing the dramatic 911 tapes from the growrnld. plan

martha: pakistan arresting several suspects in last week's school master. it left 140 people dead. most of them are children.

pakistan warned another terror attack could be coming. bill: there is a big blame game underway over who should be held responsible after the shootings of two new york city policemen. critics pointing to anti-police messaging from the attorney general eric holder, mayor bill deblasio. george pataki tweeting this. sickened by these barbaric acts which sadly ... bill: welcome back to america's news room. our hearts go out to the families and the friends of these officers who live with them and know them very well. what now? >> this is an absolute tragedy

and it's important that the mayor and all the officials in new york city start defending the police, stop the overheated rhetoric attacking the police which for the last year and a half under bill deblasio as a candidate then as a their created a chasm between the police and the african-american community. two years ago the nypd had a high favorability rating in the african-american community yet mayor deblasio created this tension in staten island. yes he made some general condemnations of violence. but protesters were allowed to close down bridges and take over streets. when cops were are assaulted by protesters the mayor called an alleged assault.

the mayor has attempted to demonize police. this is what sets off the fringe characters in our society. my father was a cop in the 1970s. i remember when there were repeated assassinations of nypd cops. the climate the mayor is creating is not intentional on his part but it's attracting the madmen in society and giving a legitimacy to violent protesters. bill: the commissioner said he has not seen it this bad since 1970 and on nbc he said this. >> 1970, my first 10 years were among this type of tension. who would have thought deja vu all over again. backward 40 years ago. this one is different in the sense social media capabilities

to spread the word constantly. bill: what now is the role of the mayor? what now is the role of the president in a matter like this? >> first let me say i have tremendous regard for commissioner bratten. new york has had ked two of thet police commissioners. for them to start giving praise to the police. the police have done more to save minority lives than anyone in this country. police do a phenomenal job in tough circumstances. yes there can be improvement. but there has to be improvements among leaders in the minority communities. they can say this is what our community has to do. the president says we have to have a conversation on race then he says it's up to the police to

change their tactics and their method implying the police are the ones who are always wrong. in the garner case without going into the details. the fact is it was more of a quarter million misdemeanor arrests last year alone. this is the one case they are talking about where there was a case where there was an african-american chief acting in response of african-american store owners in the neighborhood to take eric garner away and it was under the supervision of an african-american female sergeant. whatever was right or wrong for staten island it was wrong for the mayor and the president to imply this involved endemic racism in the police department and society. there is enough racism on all side in the world including our country but let's not demon eye the police. bill: one of the sons of the officers killed saturday writes today i had to say bye to my far it. he was there for me every day of

my life. he was the best father i could ask for. it's awful someone gets killed for being a police officer. everyone says they hate cops but they are the people they call for help. i will always love you and never forget you. everyone says they hate cops but they are the ones they cow for help. >> it'ser in easy to watch somebody being arrested. firefighters goy in and save lives and take people out of fires. cops have to go in and lock people up in a community and lock people up in a household. it's ugly to look at but we do it well and we should thank god for themmer day. martha: could the answer to north korea's string of threats lie with its ally? how china could potentially help

or hurt the u.s. as we deal with this fallout from north korea's hack attack. bill: could a wicked winter storm be brewing just in time for christmas eve? [♪] in stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and more, swanson® makes holiday dishes delicious!

bill: a lightning strike in a parking lot just as the game between the buccaneers and the green bay packers was getting over, finished. firefighters say the victims were knocked to the ground by the power of that lightning strike. >> we seen the smoke and when we came or here the lights were flashing. that was it. >> reporter: what did you think when you saw the car had been hit directly with lightning? >> i didn't believe it. but then i saw the people. bill: the people were take to

the hospital and said to be a-okay. martha: a powerful winter storm hitting states out west and now we are hearing a bigger storm is forming that could cause a real mess that could cause problems for christmas. >> reporter: mother nature being a grinch because we are looking at warm temperatures as we head into the next couple days across parts of the east. so that store -- that storm sys going to stay mostly rain. but across the rockies producing snow. the midwest and the plains and showers across the southeast. but as we head into tomorrow and wednesday we'll start to see that energy coming together across portions of the east and

a lot of heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast out here. and an isolated chance of rain. we are looking at rainfall humans potentially exceeded 8 inches. farther west across portions of the rockies we are looking at a white christmas. we have blizzard warnings in effect across utah, colorado, and new mexico. we are looking at wind gusts potentially 80 miles per hour. so whiteout conditions will be an issue. temperature-wise across the country. 40 degree for the high today. october portions of the northeast into the great lakes and across parts of the south,

highs widespread in the 70s and 60ss out there. let's get it over to you. martha: that is a strange weather picture. bill: a court ruling change one state's immigration system. what house of illegals will be eligible to do. martha: how concerned should we be about the threat from north korea to the united states. >> the problem isn't that we didn't have the ability to do something in an immediate time. we just didn't get a decision from the president.

martha: brand-new threats from north korea over the sony pictures attack. they named the white house, the

pentagon and the entire u.s. mainland if it doesn't let pyongyang help investigate the cyber attacks. they called the united states a cesspool of terrorism. president obama weighed in on this over the weekend. >> we believe in the right of artistic expression and satire and things the powers that be might not like. we set a precedent in which a dictator in another country can disrupt through cyber, a company's distribution chain or its products and as as consequence start censoring ourselves, that's a problem. martha: what can we do about it? martha: the president laid it out in a way most people were

laying it out a week ago. but the question wee remains, what is the president going do about it? this isn't the last attack we are going to have. >> we are in cyber war and we are losing this war. what should we do? one, retaliate. if we don't show the north koreans what we are capable of. i'm not talk about sending missiles. i'm talking about going to service providers answer creative stuff. maybe the iranians don't like the movie "argo." we have no civilian infrastructure defense. our banking system, more legislation is need, insurance claims, sharing the best park is but we are not doing that.

the house republicans have a bill to do that but it's been sitting in limbo for years. why are these countries terrified? what are they fair tide of? social unrest. that's why they put up all these fire walls around their own societies. iran, north korea, russia. why can't we take down those walls? martha: working backwards, i wonder if we can. i feel like we have been hearing from the highest reaches of the pentagon the last several years that's cyber bar is something they were concerned about. this is where we live. this is where our financial industry lives. this is where our social life lives and it's extremely vulnerable. i want you to convince me we are on top of this game. >> i was in israel last week and

was with some young techies. they say we have a way we are dealing with iranian dissidents. but someone can get an email address and search the web, send emails without the host censor country knowing they are doing it. how about the u.s. government saying we are going to buy that movie from you. then we are going to put it on thumb drives and drop those thumb drives all overall north korea's and we'll do it with a balloon. what will happen not only will the world seat movie but the north koreans will see the movie. go to the china and say tear down this wall. if you don't 8 down we'll tear it down. martha: the new wall is a cyber internet wall. these countries do not want information freedom inside their walls. in many ways north korea feared

this movie being shown inside their walls because they don't want their people to get a look at the cynical and perhaps -- it's a comedy obviously but think don't want them questioning their leadership. >> if you look at the chinese north koreans and russians have done. they know that their societies right now, especially if they are heading into economic difficulties in russia and iran and north korea, and in china, they are worried their populations are going to rise up, a have a twitter campaign. have a social media campaign. have hong kong demonstrations on steroids around the country. take down their censorship walls. martha: it would be great to hear our president say what president reagan said about the berlin wall. these countries fear

information. put some sunlight inside that cyber wall and see what kind of tremendous impact that could have. thank you very much. we'll see you soon. bill, back to you. >> about an hour from now arizona expecting a rush of illegal immigrants to apply for a driver's lie experience. state leaders are vowing to fight it. adam, good morning to you. how did we get to this point? >> reporter: the ongoing battle for a couple of years feels likes an ongoing discussion across the west. dreamers, 8 * arizona time will have the opportunity to get driver's licenses, these are the people who should have been deported who were protected by president obama. last week the supreme court turned down an emergency appeal and another judge stopped the

issue, it's not a federal issue. the states should have to deal with it. the federal government should not step in. she says she is vowing to fight this. republicans say arizona has the constitutional right and authority to enforce state statute. she says it's outrageous arizona is being forced too ignore state law and comply with a federal court mandate that's in violation of state law. they are -- violation of federal law. you will see a number of people lining up across the state to get driver's licenses. this is a debate happening across the west. bill: adam housley is watching it from los angeles. martha: days before christmas, pope francis issuing a

blistering critique of vatican hierarchy while they sat a few feet away. bill: more on the assassination of new york city police officers. has anti-police rhetoric turned poisonous in america? >> in over 40 years in police work i haver in seen an atmosphere like this. ♪ approaching medicare eligibility? you may think you can put off checking out your

social media for new york place. >> in over 40 years from police work i have never seen an atmosphere like this. there have been incidents in the past both when i was police commissioner and since when you get the usual suspects raving about the police. but now we have a president, an attorney general, a mayor eric garner and michael browb lost their lives committing crimes. these two hero officers lost their lives protecting the public. bill: jack kem and marianne marsh. good morning to both of you. what are we to make of william

safir's reaction there? >> it's reverberated by those like mayor giuliani and former commissioner kerik as well. it's difficult not to make the unmistakable conclusion that the atmosphere created since ferguson has been fueled mostly by our national political leadership, al sharpton and the like. the continues in this instance which is unprecedented and why there should be shame among president obama and mayor deblasio. they added to this toxic mix. president obama turned to al sharpton to give him the czar of race relations. when you see an assassination of

police officers for being nothing other than police, it forces you to realize the way we have gone since ferguson has gone too far when i have our national political leadership tacitly endorsing the antilaw enforcement and police propaganda in america. that's where we are paused at this moment. >> the national dialogue hob policing has been totally distorted. that's the state he put out. he backed it up in the interview. >> speak your mind should never cost anyone their life ever. can people be more responsible about their word and actions, yes? but if they aren't, no one should be killed over it. this country was built on the freedom of speech. if we are going to lower our standard to tailorrering we say and do -- to tailor everything we say and do to a crazy person

who already had a criminal record and drove to new york from baltimore to kill two cops. bill: the point giuliani is making from has been months of propaganda that led to this. we see the connection through the instagram post he made when he was on the bus from baltimore up to new york city. it's a stunning thing to be in this town. when you think back to the days 9/11, for years in america people were proud to wear nypd on their hats and shirts. now they are considers pariahs. >> it's absolutely everybody's first amendment right to free speech. but when you have the protesters al sharpton says are non-violent saying what do we want?

dead cops. when do we want them? now. it's slil and unfortunate. it gives us this northerly equivalent. it's just free speech. no, there has been a systematic pattern of picking on tops since ferguson. this has come from the highest level of government. not just the usual suspects who often go to these events and try to divide us on race. we had president obama give us al sharpton and bill deblasio turn his back on the nypd. two police lieutenants on the brooklyn bridge were viciously assaulted and this mayor dismissed them as alleged attacks. bill: he called them an allegation. giuliani says the mayor allowed the demonstrations to get out of hand which gave a stronger voice

to those out in the street. do you agree with that or not? >> the word used by protesters calling for harp to be caused to police is just as bad as the killing of them. it's not a mutually exclusive exercise. just like sony should be able to make a movie and not be hacked and then have the guts to show it and not fear violence. you have to oppose both. in both cases from every political leader they weren't looking to incite riots for injury or murder or killing. they were trying to bring peace to a situation and people took it too far on both sides. i have to say a lot of people have been since saturday on tv and tells where. everyone needs to be much more careful about their words and actions. no one should be killed because of it. bill: together we'll see how they react to that one at a

time. bill: terrifying 911 calls have just been released. >> it sounds like fireworks going off. martha: they are talking about an airplane flying through the sky and forced to make an emergency landing. bill: this guy make is all look really bad. he's 103 and he's making history. i'll show you how. >> as long as i can swing a club, i'm going to play golf. is there such a thing as a sure thing in business?

antonio, texas. the plane was tang out of service for inspection. martha: what did the passengers have to say about this ride? >> reporter: it was a nerve raring ride no one wants to experience, especially for those nervous flyers. >> you could tell something was wrong and you felt the vibration and you could see the flames outside the window. >> you have no control. >> nobody likes this. when it was over the plane did land safely. there was a huge applause in the cabin. martha: some people are nervous flyers for good reason. they didn't have to lands in the hudson this time. great job on the pilot's part. bill: the fragile relationship between city leaders and nypd.

a wall of officers literally turning their backs on the mayor.

. .

martha: cold-blooded as nation of two police officers ambushed in new york city sparking political backlash today. the two officers targeted for their uniforms in the wake of recent protests against police. critics now claiming top city and national officials have

fanned these flames of anti-police rhetoric, saying they have blood on their hands because of what happened to these officers. very, very stark and dramatic claims. welcome, everybody. brand new hour of "america's newsroom" today. i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. new york city in mourning today. the police force on edge. meanwhile the mayor, bill de blasio along with president obama and attorney general eric holder under fire on behalf of many accused encouraging out of control anti-police protests. including this -- >> if you want to say mayor de blasio contributed to atmosphere of hate for the police, absolutely he did. so did the president of the united states and so did holder. it is a lie. it is untrue. like soviet propraganda. the police are not racists. there is not a systemic problem of police racism. what lives does al sharpton saved? what lives does de blasio save? what lives president saves in it was police officerses sitting

there. i wasn't saving lives in the police community. my police officers were. >> how has the president reacted to all of this, dan? >> reporter: bill, president obama has not made public comments on camera about the cop killings he issued a statement on saturday, hours after it happened strongly condeming the attack. he spoke with two police commissioners to offer his support. the statement read in part, officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for ours every single day and they deserve our respect and grat stupid every single day. tonight i ask people to reject violence an words that harm in terms of words that heal. then yesterday, mr. obama called new york police commissioner bill brat done to offer his condolences to the entire nypd. later in the afternoon he phoned charles ramsey the police commissioner philadelphia. ramsey is co-chair of president's new task force on 21st century policing. a task force will report back to

the president in 90 days with recommendation. one thing the president would like to see is cop body cams on police officers throughout the country, a move some see as showing a lack of trust in law enforcement. but yesterday in the phone calls the president only expressed his profund resecond for police. bill: some republicans are criticizing the president. what are they saying he could or should have done? >> reporter: well, yeah, yesterday some of the republicans took to the sunday talk shows to talk about the president and his administration in particular, eric holder, the attorney general. here was lindsey graham yesterday. >> i think that the mayor of new york is probably undercut his cops and attorney general is trying to walk a fine line but the tone they're setting around the rhetoric regarding the cops incites crazy people but i blame the shooter. >> reporter: president obama kept a very low profile so far in the first two days of his 17-day vacation. he played golf the first two days. yesterday afternoon he took his friends and family to the beach.

bill. bill: dan springer, honolulu, where it is still, dark. dan, thanks. >> for more, jonah goldberg senior editor of "national review" and fox news contributor. good morning. >> great to be here. martha: what do you make of the president's response to all of this? >> look, i think, what he said is fine through a statement. it might have been better if he did it on camera. but at the very, what holder said, mayor what they said is absolutely fine. substance of what they said is absolutely fine. it is also the bare minimum. you know, even the most crazy left-wing politician in america is going to condemn the random assassination of two police officers. the real test is what they do going forward and that just simply remains to be seen. martha: it's a question of leadership and of rising above the situation to bring these two sides together. it just feels in many ways, i think to a lot of critics here that mayor de blasio, the

president, eric holder, all of these people listed by rudy giuliani, have not done anything to sort of rise above what's going on and say look, let's pull together, let's respect both side here in a meaningful way that has caused any kind of change here, jonah. >> i think that's right. i think bill de blasio has had one of the worst weeks in politics i can remember. he is really, in many ways a sniffling coward. we have this guy with the north cree attack attack threatening movie theaters, instead of de blasio said we'll not let this happen, this is our city, sending cops in defending places from terrorists he went and hid under his desk. when you have these, this horrible attacks on these two police officers, as i have heard he still hasn't met with the families. he's basically holed up in his castle at gracie mansion and, when you think about how quickly

he lept to side with the side with protesters, anti-cop protesters, and how quickly and eagerly he embraced al sharpton and much like the president and eric holder. meanwhile his reluctance to anything like that, guys that work for him and work for the city when they have been murdered in cold blood, you know, rationally you don't have to look at it very closely. emotionally it is profound. what he is doing, argument he should resign. martha: there is an argument for that. people are calling for that. the video of the new york city police officers turning their backs on him, in a long row, maybe we can pull that picture up, as he walked in to do that news conference, i was so stunned when i saw this picture. you think about the potential. this situation when you have got the new york city police department turning on their own mayor, and turning their backs to him, jonah, just think about what that would be like at national level. how unbelievable and horrible

that would be. that is what happened to the mayor of this city yesterday. >> yeah. look i heard mayor giuliani earlier, i think he had it basically right. they shouldn't have done it but given the emotional state they were in, i almost have to admire their restraint. there was no shouting or cursing. it wasn't sort of a violent melee or anything like that. they picked the one way to express themselves that was, you know, that really cuts to the heart of this without, you know, without screaming things that would played over and over again and all the rest. i have nothing but sympathy for those guys. martha: can you even imagine what was going through mayor de blasio head when he walked through the line. commissioner bratton said same thing. i don't approve the way they did it. i understand the sentiment behind it. it is clear that the new york city police feel this mayor turned their back on them.

left them out to dry. they feel there is connection between those two things and what happened to these two police officers. a horrific and, you talk about the, president talks a lot about the living in the 21st century and things don't happen that way anymore. you know what? i feel like i'm living in 1967, 1968 in new york city. truly unbelievable. >> i grew up in the new york city in the 1970s. everyone joked that when de blasio came in, we're going back to "that '70s show." this is it one of the missing ingredients, war on cop and rhetorical war on cops, literal war on cops. heartbreaking to see a replay of all this but bill de blasio, he is a museum piece. a creature of the sort of 1970s left of new york city. where all the sympathies lie. that is where his instincts come from. he simply don't know how to be any other kind of mayor it seems. martha: we'll leave it there, jonah. good to have you here. >> thank you. >> so north korea now issues a

new threat over claims its behind the hack attack on sony pictures, warning of strikes against the u.s. homeland including the white house and the pentagon? if washington doesn't back off its accusations according to pyongyang. this amid growing concerns about the role of china, one of north korea's only allies in the world, might be playing behind the scenes. president obama calls the hacking, cyber vandalism. senator john mccain saying it is much more serious than that. >> when you destroy economies, when you are able to impose censorship on the world in, and especially the united states of america, it is more than vandalism. it's a new form of warfare we're involved in and we need to react and react vigorously. bill: so our national security correspondent jennifer griffin at the pentagon. jennifer, good morning to you. did china have a role in this or not? >> reporter: well, bill, the president was very clear on friday that the u.s. does not

think that the north koreans worked with any other country including china on this cyberattack even though most cyber experts tell you many of north korean hackers are based in china. the president clearly did not want to get dragged into a war with china. china experts are very concerned amidst all of this about the possibility of miscalculation. >> china would like to, plans to replace the united states as the preeminent power in the pacific and it is developing a military that can promote china's interests and can assert chinese interests in that part of the world. >> reporter: so all of this needs to be seen in the context of the rise of china's military. in fact in 2014 china expanded its growing fleet of modern submarines from one in 2000 to nearly 40 this year. >> what does the most recent report on congress, rather to congress on china's military capability conclude, jennifer? >> reporter: this is an annual report that couple out in november. according to the u.s.-china

economic and security review commission's annual report which was released with little fanfare to congress this november, in 2014 china conducted first test of hyper son i can missile vehicle which has ability to test qinetiq strikes anywhere within hours. it was missiles that will be able to strike the continental united states. it first long distance training deployment of its first aircraft carrier. in next five years china's nuclear force will expand that their class submarines will begin conducting patrols with j.r.-2 ballistic missiles by the end of this year. giving china its officers credible sea based nuclear deterrent. >> chinese navy are putting a large number of modern surface ships and submarines to sea. they have develop ad strategic police ballistic missile

submarine, a fleet ballistic missile submarine, the jing class, which will be armed with a intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the united states. they also now have an aircraft carrier. >> reporter: this is very worrying trend in terms of china watchers in terms of chinese military, bill. bill: thank you, jennifer griffin. martha. martha: two possible president contenders going at it over cuba. a public tussle between senators rand paul and marco rubio. is it a preview of 2016 republican presidential race? bill: big trouble after a tire from a truck goes airborne, flying rubber smashing through the window of that clinic. we'll tell you what happened next. martha: a wall of blue turns its back on the mayor of new york city. bo dietl on deck to respond to that and stalk about what is going on. >> we tried to warn, it must not go on, it can not be tolerated.

that blood on the hands starts on the steps of city hall in the office of the mayor.

bill: a 77-year-old man in texas says he is lucky to be alive this morning. watch the video. it shows man all mendoza, fixing items on a share inside after clinic when a tire suddenly crashes through a window, knocks him to the floor. it happened earlier in the week

as mendoza and his wife are cleaning the clinic houston. with the lights on you can see full extent of the damage. they are lucky. mendoza had only cuts and bruises. officials say the tire flew of off a truck from a nearby freeway. martha: growing divide between the nypd and mayor bill de blasio broke wide open in the wake of saturday's cold-blooded assassination of these two police officers who served their city well and lost theirs lives. look at this. a wall of police officers literally turning their backs on the mayor when the he visited hospitals where the two cops were taken. two former nypd police commissioners blaming the mayor for fanning the flames during anti-police protests that followed. >> i think when the mayor made statements about the, he had to train his son to be, his son who is biracial to be careful when he is dealing with the police, i

think that set off, this latest firestorm and quite frankly the mayor ran an anti-police campaign last year when he ran for mayor. >> look, the mayor, al sharpton, for weeks, for months, have perpetuating a lie. new york city cops are racist. new york city cops are targeting minorities. they don't target minorities. they go into minority communities where the crime is. they reduce crime in those minority communities. >> bo dietl, former nypd detective and fox news contributor. bo, i know this has been a very hard weekend for you and for the entire family of the new york city police department. >> well, first, my heart goes out to the officers and their families. right before christmas and this is just a disaster. like my insides were pulled out. i go back to 1970. jones, foster and lori, bonetti.

two cops killed. 13 cops killed in one year. then we had 11. my memories come back. we used to rush to the hospital to give blood. they were dead already. this reminded me of that. the atmosphere, i'm known for my animation here. there is no animation here, down to the facts what is going on. when they have taken two cases from the president, the attorney general and our mayor, taken two cases and made them into racial events when they were not racial events are, they were just arrests being made and terrible tragedy occurred in staten island and no one wants to see anyone's life be taken but to stir it up and to have a mayor step up and talk about his son, he has to talk to him every day about interaction with the police, no. the police are out there and they're protecting you. the environment out of washington, what he has done, the president's playing golf now. i think the president should get his butt over here in new york and be at the funerals. they sent representatives to ferguson, holder and all that. these are two cops that were working overtime for their families to try to make some

extra bucks for themselves in a high-crime, racially area in bedford steve haven't -- stuyvesant where i worked also. we had homicides and robberies. very bad area. they were working there. to see the environment. the guy was a nut. the guy who killed those cops was a damn nut. but he slipped into the environment. he is listening to the news report about cops -- martha: quoting on his instagram, hashtag eric garner, hashtag michael brown. talking about killing police. thinking about protests other day where people were chanting in the streets. >> i heard it. martha: what do you want? , dead coops. i don't know what world we're living in. i really don't. >> martha, i was in the city during that last week a week ago, that is the chant. when this american accept something like that and then on the bridges, to shut them down i was laid off in 1975 for three days when we had the job problem with the monies in new york city. we were trying to go over the

brooklyn bridge as cops laid off. they charged us with a horse. removed us from the bridge. how can you be a person in new york city? you go get up in the morning 6:00. you want to go home and have your dinner. you're in the car 2 1/2 hours because they shut roads down. that is catalyst what happened. they were able to do what they want. that environment caused this psychopath to put in his head. what i worry about, martha, the copycats, other nuts out there wanting to cause -- this city, the only way this city can come back together in this country, the mt. should get his butt over here for the funerals. this mayor should have a news conference saying i was wrong to talk about my son being worried about my son interaction with cops. these cops, we have the most diversified police department in the world and greatest police department. commissioner bratton is great. let commissioner bratton run the police department. you run your mayor office and start getting involved. martha: must be very hard for him, bratton, at this point. >> bratton has aged in the last couple months. i know commissioner bratton and

his lovely wife, ricky, i foe the first deputy commissioner came on the force with me, ben tucker. great people. we have the greatest police department in the world. stop taking their heart out of them. i talk to cops every day. their heart is being taken out of them. stand up for your cops because -- martha: when you are the mayor after city, you're the mayor of the whole city. >> absolutely. martha: when you're president of the united states, you're the president of entire country. you are not running for office. nobody is running for office. this is a moment that requires and demand and cries out for a leader to say you know what, bring the police in on this side. bring the people in on this side. >> you know where he is? martha: hug each other, whatever you're going to do, that needs to be said. >> why doesn't he get his butt to the family's home. you're the mayor, go there, hug the young kid and young boy. why can't show human emotion. these cops were not exchanging fire with are robbery. they were assassinated this is like 9/11 again. if we don't get our hands around, if this mayor doesn't stand up and be a man and admit

when you say something wrong, like when your kid does something wrong, say something wrong, bring us all together. let us be together unify instead of division like this. m president should get off the damn golf course and attend funerals and show the love he has for our fellow sisters. martha: thank you very much. >> merry christmas. my heart goes out to the families. thank you very much. martha: thanks for being here. bill: gas prices drop to another low, america, cheaper than we've seen in years. believe it or not they say it is not good for everyone. how could that be? plus there is this. that was supposed to be a routine traffic stop. it was anything but. next. hi, i'm henry winkler

martha: this dramatic crash caught on dash-cam video. a police officer making routine traffic stop in georgia when this happens. >> i'm on location. he hit my car. >> horrible, horrible scene. fedex truck, slammed into the patrol car which then hit the officer in the leg. fortunately he is not seriously hurt. the driver of the fedex truck was airlifted to the hospital. no word on his condition. the investigators safe the crash was caused by the driver failing to stay in his lane. >> wow. hear about it but you don't see it like you do right there. christmas coming early at the pump. average price of gallon of gasoline, cheap stuff dropping to $2.47 a gallon. beat that money. cheapest in five 1/2 years. how low will it go? speaking of money,

melissa francis anchor of fox business network's "money" with melissa francis 2:00 monday through friday. how are you doing. >> fantastic. bill: people say it is not good for everyone, what are they talking about? >> it is not good for everyone. i covered this for a decade. i've been to all the places pumping gas, oklahoma, texarkana, midland, texas where they have the wells in the ground. marginal well is not getting dug. those folks don't get paid. they are suffering. but overall better for the economy. bill: you make a good point about the energy states like texas you point out. who does it help out other than 90% of the rest of us? >> at least. prices on everything become lower because transportation costs embedded in stuff. we're not doing better at airlines. they are unfortunately hanging on to those hikes because they can afford to because the seats are full. everything else. milk becomes cheaper. bread becomes cheaper because of

transportation costs. everybody spend less on gas but costs less for everything when gas prices come down. bill: looking over your shoulder, seeing a buck 99 for unleaded. when was last time we saw that? was it 2007, 2008? >> at least, yeah. it was right after we saw, we very briefly saw it after the crash, prices dropped but i got to warn you, this isn't around forever. i remember i went to an emergency summit in riyadh, saudi arabia, when the price of oil was $147 a barrel. folks at that time said there is fundamental change. we've seen peak oil and never see oil prices lower again. folks were hurting as a result of this say we'll never see cheap oil again. technology came along. it increased supply. we saw tremendous frack fracking. pennsylvania, is huge place for fracking they're hurting because marginal job is not done. it won't last forever. we go back and forth, highs and lows. prices will come up, just not right away.

bill: going lower or not. >> i think going lower for a bit. we might see 2.350 by christmas. it is not christmas. we're dipping below. crude oil futures market dip even lower. it will go lower from here. we'll see how long it lasts. bill: new york's governor said no to fracking. that is his final answer. >> for now. he is a politician. bill: for not, a lot of jobs, right. >> it's a lot of jobs. it's a lot of jobs. easier to say when prices are low and they might not be drilling right away. if prices go high again, pressure comes back, maybe we see a change. nothing is forever in the oil and gas business. bill: "money." >> come join me. bill: 2:00, martha. martha: but that on your intro, bill saying that. bill: money. martha: france is on high alert right now after a man crashed into a crowd and injured more than a dozen people. why authorities think that it may have been terrorism. >> also, two republican senators, both with white house

potential candidacy on the mind, going at it. will this define the party's foreign policy debate for 2016? >> if he wants to become the chief cheerleader of obama's foreign policy he certainly has a right to do that. i will continue to oppose the obama-paul foreign policy on cuba.

martha: fox news alert now as police are ramping up security in france after a driver shouting "allahu akbar!," plowed into a crowd and injured 13 people. it comes one day after a man attacked police officers with a knife in another major french city, hurting two officers in that incident. both sparks fears of new lone wolf attacks like the one in australia last week. amy kellogg is live in london. what more can you tell us about these attacks? >> reporter: well, martha, at this point people are very jittery what happened in france and even across europe.

the attacks, as you mentioned happened on two consecutive days in france but at this point police are not saying that there is any apparent link between the two attackers. the first one happened on saturday in a suburb of tour in central france. and the second in dijon, eastern france, yesterday. in tour, a man of burundian, recent convert of islam, burst into a police station shouted "allahu akbar!," which means god is great in arabic, slashed one in the face with a knife and stabbed two others. they all survived. the suspect was known to police in the past but only for petty criminal offenses. that said he apparently recently developed radical views together with his brother who was arrested by authorities in burundi, presumably on request of the french because this happened right after the brother was killed n the attack in dijon, a man drove into five separate groups of pedestrians,

also shouting "allahu akbar!." two people were left in serious condition but are not believed to have light threatening injuries of the suspect here, mart, that northern african origin, with a long history of mental instability. he had been admitted to psychiatric wards in france, 157 times. >> oh my. what are authorities saying about all these attacks, amy? >> reporter: obviously lone wolf is something everyone is concerned about but the authorities on their part, martha, are being extremely cautious because there is very fine line of insanity and some of these radical islamists attacks like the one we saw in sydney, australia, exactly a week ago today. the man there of iranian descent, had claimed to be doing this for the sake of isis but had never had any past history of membership in radical islamist organizations. in fact he was kind of a fortune teller and someone with a record of arrests for sexual assault.

so suddenly it becomes kind of murky, what is motivated, genuinely motivated by radical islam or and what is generat de. martha? martha: amy, thank you very much. bill: big divisions, public divisions erupting between two potential republican presidential candidates. senators rand paul and marco rubio, clashing in a public way over president obama's move last week to normalize relations with cuba. senator paul, tweeting that senator rubio, the son of cuban immigrants, is quote, acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. i reject this isolationism. senator rube crow firing back on sunday morning -- rubio. >> rand, if he wants to become chief cheerleader of obama's for return policy he certainly has right to do. that i will continue to oppose the obama-paul foreign policy on cuba because i know it won't lead to freedom and liberty for the cuban people which is my

sole interest. bill: not over yet. he had rollins, former campaign manager for reagan-bush '84, how joe trippi, former howard dean cam pan manager. good morning. what do you make of this, tit-for-tat? >> first shot of the 2016 race. two candidates, both of whom have the potential being viable. rand paul is clearly out of line where the party is though. i think we're a strong national party that has a strong national defense and obviously he is kind of an outlyer in that position. i think vast majority of republicans, republican candidates will be for the present position on cuba until there is some show they're willing to create a democracy or allow freedom. they basically want our dollars and want resorts and want all of that now that russia can no longer supply it to them and no longer venezuela they desperately need dollars. at the end of the day we feel we want freedom. bill: okay. let me come back to the overall point in a moment. joe, first, weigh in on this

what do you think? >> as the democrat you hate to see two republicans having this -- bill: i bet you do. come on now. joe, i think we're supposed to say, ps, merry christmas. continue. >> no, but you know, ed's old boss, ronald reagan, you know, really was the one who put the 11th commandment out there, don't speak ill of another republican. rand paul is really being much more aggressive early on an that i ever can remember a republican being and as ed points out, he really is not where the mainstream of republican foreign policy thinking is. however, look, you know, it is, who, which of these guys supported obama's foreign policy? rand paul is now saying that it is the rubio-obama foreign policy, that rubio supported hillary's war in libya. that he supported obama's funding of muslim brotherhood and so having this fight over

who, which one of these guys supports obama's foreign policy the most really i don't think in the end will work for both of them, either one of them earnings foreign policy, policy. that is the big picture. let me come back to that. rand paul tweeted this, forgot to mention rubio's support of funding ever muslim brotherhood and islamic rebels in libya. to joe's point he is very aggressive. not just marco rubio. he has been out in front criticizing hillary clinton for months now. >> basically, he is sort of a leader of the tea party. he will be the viable candidate. he will not be nominee. if he is, establishment will walk away from him. he is outlyer. his father was outlyer, with great grassroots support not in the in terms of delegates. plays to his own drummer. for guy calling rubio isolationist he is biggest isolationist in our party. i think he is out of the

mainstream. bill: sorry about that. continue your thought. >> people like john mccain, chairman of armed services committee and others he is just not, not going to be where they are. bill: joe on hillary clinton point, is he a good foil for her? makes an interesting discussion? >> look it, whoever bashes obama the most or hillary the most makes the key point is that, you know, that's pay dirt, that is gold in the republican party right now. you it is particularly in a primary. he is hitting the right buttons, look if i had been advising rand paul i urge him to run as independent. i really don't see how he gets enough votes in the republican primaries to become the nominee. but, stranger things have happened. >> he would be good challenger for hillary. more close to her on her general viewpoint. he doesn't believe in federal crimes relating to cocaine and other drug issues. he is outlyer. bill: libertarian strain.

ed, based on what you're saying here, you don't see some sort of a new ground being pushed and plowed and established in the republican party? >> i certainly don't, not at this point in time. i think, in order for us to be successful we have to be very strong on national defense, very strong on foreign policy and argue, whoever our nominee will be far more effective leader. the clinton campaign would love nothing more than, joe you have to admit this, to run against rand paul. marco rubio and several others are something that causes them some concern. >> joe, final word? >> you know, i don't know yet who on the republican side would worry people the most. the one thing that is interesting here though, bill, is, is this limited to these two, to these two? what happens when, there will be governors who either expanded medicaid or set up, you know, who somehow -- on obamacare, tie him to obama, tie him to obama,

tie him to obama. bill: plenty of time to debate that. joe, thanks. ed, thanks to you as well. >> merry christmas. bill: merry christmas. martha. martha: there are new questions who is to blame in the assassination of two new york city police officers for an atmosphere of politically-charged hatred. did the anti-police protests fan the flames of this violence? we'll talk about that. plus this. bill: all she wrote, right. martha: looks that way. bill: who turned out to say good-bye to a college football icon. give it a role. >> ground shaking. lots of explosions. looking for a new job pause i want to blow something up.

bill: so the walls came tumbling down in texas. watch here. [explosion] that is the west side of kyle stadium in texas a&m university, now just a lot of dust. fans were so loud there known for decades as home of the 12th man. thousands turned out for it. hear a few of them in the background. crews are building more modern westside of the stadium. should be ready for home opener, 2015. september. >> well before this weekend's deadly ambush of two nypd officers, we've been following months ever antipolice protests after the michael brown killing

in ferguson and death of eric barn garner taken into custody in new york city. some of those protests took ugly turn. here are demonstrators at a march in new york, organized by reverend al sharpton, chanting for death of police officers. >> dead cops. >> when dough we want them? >> now. martha: listen to. that they got what they wanted though. jehmu, welcome to you. jeanine birreally. president of conservative review. jehmu, president of women's media center. both fox news contributors. jehmu, your thoughts on this. >> well, those protesters unequivocally crossed the line when they called for the death of police officers. they, let their anger get away with them. they should be condemned. it was their free speech but our

free speech is to say what they did was absolutely wrong. now there is a difference though, martha, between incitement and criticism and i think some of the commentary following this tragic incident this weekend has been trying to point fingers at the level of incitement, whether it is mayor de blasio or president obama and that is just irresponsible because it does not take into account the ultimate goal here and the ultimate goal is justice. the ultimate goal is for those protesters to trust the police, when they are in trouble, that is who they want to go to. for the police to feel connected to the communities they are protecting. martha: what you just said is message we have not heard from any of the people that you just mentioned. and let's go back and take a look at some of the really hateful rhetoric that has existed in this discussion. this is al sharpton. >> even if we get knocked down,

we get up and go to the corner and come out fighting the next round. you won the first round, mr. prosecutor, but don't cut your gloves off because the fight's not over. justice will come! martha: that is just one example. but we have heard a lot of the opposite of what jehmu was just calling for. >> well, listen, martha, there is no doubt in my mind that the protests and propaganda been going on for months and months since the michael brown incident has been a result of this shooter killing these two police officers. listen i do start at the top. i place blame starting with president obama. there is plenty of blame to go around from obama to holder to al sharpton and jesse jackson but when you have a president of the united states who was saying that young black men are victims under police, who were saying

that race is still an issue in our country with his interviews on b.e.t. and "people" magazine, i place the blame squarely on his desk. martha: jehmu, you want to respond to that? >> well, i don't understand why it is so easy for den mean and d rudy giuliani and forget the mayor denouncing violence and can't call for social change and commit an act of violence to a police officer. the hypocrisy here not with this situation is stunning, staggering, when we look at situation like dr. tiller, who our own colleague bill o'reilly featured 28 different segments before he was gunned down, it is not bill o'reilly's fault that dr. tiller was gunned down. when you look at the bundy supporter who want into a las vegas -- >> talking about leaders who --

[both taking at same time] >> your colleagues is unexplainable. >> don't try to change the subject. the goal is not to point fingers. the goal is to find a way where we can -- martha: you know what? what we're all looking for, we're all looking for a bit of real leadership for people to put on their big boy pants and speak reality to everybody and bring people together, not to divide them. that unfortunately is what we've had. i want to thank you. i'm sorry we're cut so short, ladies. jehmu, deneen, thank you so much. see you next time. bill: ten minutes before the hour. american companies are on the alert after a hack attack on sony. what one company is doing to make sure it does not happen to it in a moment. martha: just a few days of shopping left before christmas but could a wicked winter storm put a wrench into procrastinators plans? listen up, folks. ♪
