♪ >> happy holidays. shannon: martha: they're going to, u.s. sailors, serving on board the aircraft carrier, carl vinson, we thank them for the great holiday message and merry christmas to all of you. bill: and you as well. martha: see you back here soon. bye, everybody. jon: police across the country on high alert right now, being told to take extra precautions and wear those bullet-proof vests after two new york city officers were executed in cold blood. welcome to "happening now" on this monday. >> i'm heather nauert in for jenna lee. great to have you back from your vacation. jon: great to be back. >> a lot going on. let's start off with this. two officers were ambushed in their pa control car on saturday

afternoon, in brooklyn, new york. the suspect, 28-year-old. ismaaiyl brinsley. you see him right there. he fled the murder scene to a nearby subway station where he then took his own life. this morning we're learning new details that are being released about the alleged gunman including a very long criminal record and history of mental illness also. his potential motive for killing the officers. jon: david lee miller is live in brooklyn right now. david? >> reporter: jon, we are at 98 tomkins avenue in the bed-sty section of brooklyn. behind me is the crime scene, what was left of it. this is where the two officers, officer rafael ramos and win john lou were executed as they sat in their patrol car on saturday afternoon. now the scene here transformed into a make shift emmoral. -- make shift memorial. throughout the day there has been steady flow of police officers and people who live in

this neighborhood and. all times of religions, backgrounds, blacks and whites, who come here to pay their respects, including one man, who says he was a member of officer ramos's church. >> nice guy. nice family man. great kids. great wife. i mean you couldn't ask for anything better than this gentleman. he is, he is will be sorely missed. he is missed. i miss him. >> reporter: the deaths of the two officers have further inflamed tension in new york city. some are blaming new york mayor de blasio for contributing to the environment that led to the shooting. at the hospital where the two officers were taken, many officers literally turned their back on the mayor to express their anger and their frustration. the police commissioner, bill bratton on nbc's "today" show acknowledged that some police have lost confidence in the mayor but he sees this tragedy as a way to bring people together.

>> we're in a change moment i think is the term here in the united states and the idea is to take out of this crises to find opportunity to move it forward and i think that can happen. that's why i came back into the department a year ago and we will seize on this tragedy and we'll seize on all of these issues and move forward. >> reporter: authorities are now saying that ismaaiyl brinsley had long crist history in two states and he had a history mental illness. police want to learn more about his whereabouts in the two hours 45 minutes preceding the shooting. they say they have been unable right now to construct a timeline of that nearly three hours. lastly, at 1:00 this afternoon, a little after 1:00 this afternoon, new york city's mayor, bill de blasio is expected to speak before the police athletic league. many here in new york city and beyond anxious to hear what the

mayor will say. will he be able to soothe tension or, again, there is concern that his remarks could further inflame the situation depending on what the mayor says again. expected to speak in a little over two hours time. back to you, jon. jon: what an awful story. david lee miller. david, thank you. >> another big story that we are following now. new controversy this morning over the north korea cyberattack against sony. the white house is under fire after the president referred to the attack as, cyber vandalism and not terrorism. well this comes as the north issues new threats against the united states. our chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live for us in washington with the story. mike, good morning. members of congress out back in their home districts right now but what kind of reaction are you getting so far? >> reporter: some angry reaction, heather. president obama says he doesn't think north korea's cyberattack on sony was act of war. he described it as very expensive cyber vandalism and

suggested there will be plenty more in the future. >> we'll be in an environment in this new world where so much is digitalized that both state and non-state actors will have the capacity to disrupt our lives in all sorts of ways. we have to do a much better job of guarding against that. >> reporter: as for the movie, the inter"view," a attorney representing sony says the it will be released. it is will be free on the sight crack kill, which is owned by sony. they said this is not sony security problem and this is national security problem and called on the u.s. government to lead. of the north koreans are furious because the film is comedy depicting assassination of north korean leader kim jong-un. pyongyang is threatening the white house, pentagon and whole u.s. mainland far surpassing what the u.s. response will be. some leading republicans say the president must respond more forcefully. >> this is very serious threat.

this is not just a cyber threat. i think north korea has chance to become a source of huge instability in the next few months. >> when the president calls this act of vandalism that really bothers me greatly. this is act of terrorism and i hope he will respond forcefully. >> reporter: the president says the u.s. is taking the north korean cyberattack seriously and will respond proportionally. heather? shannon: mike emanuel in washington. thanks. jon: president bum is on vacation with his family in hawaii but is facing growing pressure to respond to rising racial tensions after deaths of two new york city police officers allegedly executed in the deaths of michael brown and eric garner. daniel henninger. he had executive editor for "the wall street journal."

president obama said race relations are better or african-american lives are better since he took office? >> that is odd statement for him to make since he and eric holder and mayor bill de blasio in new york feel there is tremendous tension between black americans and the police and they have suggested as well that there is continuing racial divide in america. as to the idea their lives are better, look, jon, the black unemployment rate for blacks remains double that for whites. for young youth blacks it is close to 30%. so there is a situation in many of these black areas of brooklyn, chicago, of instability, certainly there is a lost unemployment and there is a lot of crime. the police are the ones who are tasked with trying to keep the lid on in those neighborhoods. i have to tell you, all of these protests, i'm convinced it is an organized protest by organized groups and i do not believe that

the black population of those neighborhoods is on board for the idea that the police have to change their tactics and pull back. it is much more complicated than that. they want to be protected. jon: bloomburg politics poll according to "new york times" says 53% of the americans actually think race relations have actually gotten worse under this president. >> he has talked about it so much. the idea was he would bring us together but that has not happened. when you have this terrible tragedy in ferguson with michael brown and riots broke out there, violent riots broke out in oakland and basically illegal protests all over new york, that was the time nor the president to speak out and say we have to draw the alignment you can not engage in violent illegal protests like that because that that did indeed set in motion a kind of atmosphere that led to the tragedy over the weekend with police. jon: speaking of drawing the

line, what about hacking the at sony pictures. the president characterized that as cyber vandalism. >> it understates the problem as the president is wont to do. it is cyberterrorism or perhaps cyber warfare but let's understand something, jon. that is not just north cry. the chinese government has hacked into the most of the major technology companies in the united states. they have hacked into our defense contractors. they have even hacked into the department of defense. the russians have done the same thing. this is cyber warfare against the infrastructure of the united states. and the united states has got to decide whether it is capable or willing to take counter measures. defending ourselves is very difficult because of the nature of this infrastructure. it is very vulnerable but i think the united states has to start talking about issuing threats against the communications infrastructure of the north koreans or the chinese if they're going to continue doing this sort of thing. jon: the president doesn't seem

to be inclined to do that. he wants to say to sony, just release your movie and go about your business. >> well, as many people have said, the boston marathon was not canceled because of terrorism that occurred the previous year. certainly we should not stop showing movies that criticize like the head of north korea, but that is adequate response. this has to be leveled -- elevated to level of state to state conversation, if you try to take us down we will try to do the same to you. jon: if the north koreans are capable of mack hacking into apparently sony's mainframe and stealing all the intellectual secrets of the company, what is to prevent them from hacking into con-ed and shutting down power stations in new york city or something like that? >> it is very difficult. some of these systems are more protected than others but by and large the system is vulnerable. as i say the united states has to make clear to the chinese and

north koreans, if you engage in an act of war like that, we are going to do the same to you. there is really no alternative to that, jon. because you can not completely protect our communications infrastructure. jon: we have entered scary times. >> we have. jon: that's for sure. daniel henninger, from "wall street journal." thank you. >> new court action to tell you about in the aaron hernandez murder case. why the former new england patriots star is back before a judge right before his trial is set to begin. we'll tell you about. that. christmas eve storm, say it is not so. it is taking shape and could make for serious travel trouble. we'll tell you where is headed next. we want to hear from you. has president obama done enough to improve race relations in america? our live chat is up and running. visit foxnews.com/happeningnow and click on "america's asking" to join the conversation. we'll be right back.

jon: right now some crime stories we're following. no new clues surface in the disappearance of a 69-year-old philadelphia man. mglia was last seen leaving a restaurant eight days ago. his burned up car ended up in a field in germantown. there is no evidence he was in the car when it caught fire. former new england patriots star aaron hernandez is back in court before his murder trial. it is expected to focus on jury issues. hernandez pleaded not guilty to

shooting and killing a semipro football player who was dating his fiance's sister. a man opens fire on a police officer in florida and kills him. the shooting does not appear to be related to the killing of two police officers in new york city. heather: a fox news weather alert to bring you right now. there is a christmas eve storm on its way and it could wreak havoc with your travel plans. meteorologist maria molina joins us live with the story. maria, so disappointed to hear about the storm. where is it now and where is it headed? >> that's right. hello heather and everyone. we have a storm system we're tracking across portions of the eastern half of the country. when you hear christmas eve some system you're thinking possibly some snow but with this storm system conditions will be warm and a little bit tropical out there across portions of the southeast. we'll look at areas of heavy rain anywhere from parts of new england all the way down to parts of florida come wednesday.

so the day before christmas, or christmas eve it will be raining out there. for some of you will have lightning out there. on this side storm system we'll see snow across upper portions of the great lakes and across portions of the midwest. so we could see a white christmas for some of you out there. across the northern rockies, we have another storm system that will be arriving bringing in areas of rain for lower elevations and some mountain snow. right now the weather picture before christmas eve looks relatively busy. we have a storm system across the northern plains and midwest producing some rain there. showers and storms across portions of the southeast but all of this energy will be coming together and moving eastward over the next 48 hours some this is the weather picture come wednesday. you could see showers and storms all up and down the east coast. then that storm system moves out and much quieter weather in store for the eastern half of the country as we head into christmas day. before that, look at the rainfall totals across the southeast. this is very heavy rain.

we're looking at rainfall accumulations potentially exceeding more than six-inches of rainfall. localized flash flooding will be a big issue and not much in the way of snow. snow accumulations will be generally light, three to six inches for some of you. again it is not really a winter-type storm system. look as lot more like a spring-time or summertime storm system. otherwise across portions of the rockies, we do have heavy snow out here. several feet expected, very strong winds. gusts up to 80 miles per hour or even higher gusts are possible along some high elevations. blizzard storm warnings are in effect. maria. heather: we're looking at one another. our jaws are dropping by it weather forecast. all the rain in the southeast and wind gust us up to 80 miles an hour in the colorado area? at least skiers will get snow but rest of us not looking so great. let's hope for a turn around. maria, thank you. jon: if they can get to the skis

areas from denver. that is always a challenge. heather: right. jon: a college student vanished over the thanksgiving holiday after a night out but the family of 21-year-old shane montgomery says police found a new clue to help find him and end their desperate search. we'll tell you about that. plus two police officers ambushed and killed while on their lunch break. tension between a mayor and his police department bubbling over.

jon: family of a missing philadelphia college student say police have discover ad new clue in the case. 21-year-old shane montgomery disappeared early thanksgiving morning after leaving a bar. patti ann browne joins us from the new york newsroom with more. >> that's right, jon. the night before thanks give something popular night out for college students. 21-year-old shane montgomery was

out with friend at kill dare's pub in pennsylvania. he was last seen earlier next morning on surveillance video walking into a parking lot along the banks of the schuykill river. now a grim clue in his disappearance. divers found keys belonging to the westchester university student belonged to him. they confirmed they were his by trying them in montgomery's front door. my heart is broken. my son is somewhere in that river and i need to find him and bring him own. volunteer divers spent hours in the water friday and yesterday focusing on the area near a bridge montgomery was seen crossing on video. the keys were found nearby in the river. afterwards shane's friends and relatives reportedly gathered in catholic church in his hometown of rocks to pray for his safe return. fbi is assisting philadelphia police in the search. montgomery is 5'11", 145-pound, light brown hair and a tattoo of

a celtic cross on his soldier. $65,000 reward for information on him. jon? jon: i'm sure the family is desperate for answers. patti ann browne, thank you. >> tensions are high following murders of two of new york city's finest. the nypd officers were shot by a gunman at close range saturday afternoon while sitting in their patrol car in brooklyn. mayor bill de blasio is facing intense criticism for his troubled relationship with the city's police force including from former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. listen to this. >> i don't think something like this you can do this kind of secondary liability, this person's responsible and that person is responsible. but if you want to say, that mayor de blasio contributed to it an atmosphere of hate for the police, absolutely he did. but so did the president of the united states and so did holder. >> joining me now, pat brosnan, former nypd detective and ceo of brosnan consultants.

start out by first saying we're so sorry for the police department's loss. it was awful this weekend. i want to get your reaction to what mayor giuliani said. >> it is very rare i disagree with his honor, huge fan, great guy, but in this instance, not only was mayor de blasio directly involved through his emboldenment. he emboldened. what happened here you have diminution, dehumanizing of police, he will bolden meant of protesters who felt empowered from senior government, tacit approval that they felt empowered they could chant what we want, dead cops, when do which want it, now. rhetoric has consequences. in this case, deadly consequences. heather: though violence was condemned by both the mayor, the president, the attorney general, prior to this all happening. they said don't go out and commit acts of violence. how do you respond to that. >> i respond very directly, in other words, the fact is this, that this burning call drop of

anti-police hatred that has been fomenting going on last couple of months led to this, because it empowered and given individuals, savages and cowards like ismaaiyl brinsley the perfect storm, the perfect opportunity to murder two cops while having lunch in radio car. all about empowerment. the fact they felt they could get away with it, felt it was the time for it to happen. heather: you say the access, it is turning on its action for nypd an things certainly changed how they're viewing their jobs. how are they changing? >> changed a couple ways. since the garner and brown's decision, by the way if anyone thinks in america this is not direct result of a couple of weeks after those decisions came down from the grand jury, that this double murder happened after 27 years of none of this occurring, is seriously delusional. reality is, law enforcement in new york has flipped on its axis in light of the tragedy on saturday. no longer, no longer will the police look at their job in the same way that they did prior to

saturday. and no longer will the law-abiding people of the citizens of new york allow and by tacit approval permit these protesters to go on. heather: what is the consequence of that? if police are changing how they're viewing their jobs, what is the consequence? >> the consequence two consequences actually. new york's finest will always professionally serve and protect the people of city of the new york. now they have to grow eyes in the back of their head because of murders that occurred on saturday which bring back and conjure up images in the '70s and '80s, when cops were being wholesale slaughtered. that will change perception of their duty and perception of individual they work for. heather: when you saw the police officers turn their backs on new york city mayor de blasio, how did you feel about that? >> well i felt the same as they did. their feeling is -- heather: pretty strong statement. >> it is a very strong statement but no less strong than in the fact their view not only does he have blood on his hand because of his emboldenment and his

statements and allowance to let these individual take over at public protests, take over a public bridge and so on, so forth. all of that transformed the police officer in new york, from a noble and gallant figure to a sneering, racist brute. and that was the transmodification that developed as a result of this rhetoric. heather: we're seeing that all across the country where police officers, are at least thinking again about their jobs. >> absolutely. heather: thank you. our hearts go out to you and all of those other brave officers in the nypd and the country. >> thank you. >> jon? jon: they have to be much more on edge if the people they encounter on the street. we will have much more on the deadly ambush of two new york city police officers as we look at the role the anti-police rhetoric and the protests over the deaths of michael brown and eric garner might have played. a fair and balanced look at media coverage on the way. the race for the white house in 2016, why it is already a

heated battle on the gop side. we're live with more. óqoqúúñ@

heather: right now a quick look at what's to come in this hour of "happening now." is the anti-police rhetoric to blame for the execution-style shooting of two new york city police officers? we'll take a look at the coverage of those cases, and the plot thickens bigtime with the largest lottery in the world. well tell you -- we'll tell you where you can go for that. plus, when lightning strikes, where the bolts hit and how many people will it hurt? we'll go live with that story. well, election headquarters up and running right now and centering on the race for 2016.

the primary battle already getting heated on the republican side. our chief washington correspondent, james rosen, is live with the story, and i bet you have your suitcase packed. hi there, james. [laughter] >> reporter: good morning. in the coming of age classic, sugar mountain, neil young sang ain't it funny how you feel when you find out. and after months, it's quite suddenly become real. the defining event was the announcement last week by jeb bush that he's forming an exploratory committee which touched off an interparty scramble for donors, talent and ideological real estate. on fox news sunday, george mills took stock of the strength and weaknesses of the former florida governor and presidential son and brother. >> he has four strikes against him; common core, immigration, his name and the big sign on his back that says establishment

choice. all that said, he does his homework. the republicans have not won the presidency without a bush on the ticket since 1972. >> reporter: more preoccupied with each other than with jeb bush for the moment or with any democrats across the aisle for that matter are the ambitious first-term senators, marco rubio of florida and rand paul from kentucky. rubio advocating for a muscular u.s. presence overseas. paul, the noninterventionist as he prefers to be described, urging america to mind her own business. now president obama's cuba policy shift has triggered something akin to open warfare between these two lawmakers. paul sensing a chance to turn the tides on rubio tweeted on friday, senator marco rubio is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a mote. on -- moot. on sunday paul anotherred mighto rubio forgot to mention arming islamic rebels and hillary's war

in libya. rubio in turn called paul a cheerleader for president obama. >> he has the right to become a porter of president obama's foreign -- a supporter of president obama's policy, but i think it's premised on the same false notion, that engagement alone leads to freedom. it doesn't. while their economies have grown, their political freedoms have not. >> reporter: now, unlike in the democratic party where hillary clinton enjoyed a wide polling lead over any other potential challenges, in the republican party there is no front runner, and there's a long way to go. heather? heather: there certainly is. james rosen, thanks so much. we'll talk to you again soon. jon: the anti-police rhetoric over the past months now under scrutiny after the assassination of two police officers over the weekend in new york city. the gunman apparently cited the cases of michael brown and eric garner in instagram posts before he reportedly carried out the execution-style murders. joining us now, alan colmes, host of the allan combs show --

alan colmes show, tammy bruise is also with us -- bruce, is also with us, fox news contributor. is there a media role? >> only about us covering it. we have to cover the demonstrations, the actual story. the people who are protesting deserve coverage as well in addition to what the main story is. but to say that the rhetoric of the people who are protesting is responsible for a dastardly act, the tragic killing of police, is playing politics and absurd. jon: but when the media point up the folks streaming through the streets of new york city chanting what do we want, dead cops -- >> that's horrible. that's horrible. but is the media supposed to not cover it, supposed to be quiet as if somehow by covering bad speech which is still protected under the constitution that somehow is responsible for the killing of cops? there are going to be bad actors that happen. you don't shut down the media or demonstrations because some crazy person might react horribly. jon: what should the poll

constitutions be saying about that? they generally like media coverage. tammy, what should they say? >> this hasn't happened in a vacuum. this has been the narrative for six years now, starting perhaps with the harvard situation where the police acted stupidly, where you have the divisions in society, the 99% to the 1%, the occupy protests here in new york as well where police officers were the targets there, the hatchet attack a few weeks ago where obama was strangely silent on that as well. i think media has a responsibility to cover everything, alan is right. but they also have a responsibility to point out that this is a stream. it is not a vacuum, and that elements have added in to why that crowd was chanting that and felt safe chanting that and was compelled to chant it, because leadership in this country at the highest level from the presidency down to the mayorship here was effectively -- look, who did obama meet with the day after the election? the ferguson protesters. who did de blasio meet with on the friday before the shootings? these protesters and their

leadership. so this is a problem. the media should look into that. >> somehow to tie this to de blasio, obama, rudy giuliani blaming the president, some blaming eric holder as if they're responsible for the death of two cops? that's irresponsible, and it's politically driven, to make those kind of comments. jon: here's what rudy giuliani said yesterday on fox news, we've had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police. is he wrong about that? >> i wouldn't call it necessarily propaganda. the president's not saying hate the police. to say that the president favors hating the police is absurd. and by the way, i could blame -- should i blame right-wing talk show hosts for saying terrible things about the president for the threat on his life, assassination attempts or people breaking into the white house? to blame flee speech for going -- free speech for going to a tragic event? jon: but, tammy, should the

mayor be more sockal about condemning the anti-misspeech that is out there? >> this is a real presidential moment. this would be a moment for a president who says he wants to help people and give them hope and change. this is a real moment to -- >> and he said, i condemn, he used the word "condemn." >> after months if not years of stoking anger -- >> stoking anger? >> -- between societies, between classes, genders, the war on women -- >> oh, come on. to blame the leadership of this country for a terrible act by a terrible person who does something horrible is just playing politics. jon: okay. so let's talk about michael brown. eric holder is persisting with this justice department investigation -- >> good. jon: -- on the michael brown shooting after a grand jury, after ordinary citizens said the police did not act -- >> and after we found out that one person on the grand jury lied and, in fact, the prosecutor, mccullough, knew that person wasn't telling the truth and still went with that testimony anyway.

of course it should be investigated. that doesn't result in, nor should it be blamed for a terrible act, a tragic death of cops. you don't blame the death of cops on these actions, and to try to tie them together -- >> but, again, this is not a vacuum. eric holder was saying last week that he can't tell african-americans in this country if they're safe with the police. you have mayor de blasio saying the same thing about his young son, about whether or not he can't say, he's worried about -- >> well, if you had a black child, you might say the same thing. >> the point is these are people in leadership that set the tone for everyone else who's on the street, and now we've got two dead cops -- >> because of them? >> well, look -- >> because of de blasio, because of holder, because of obama? pure politics. >> there is an encouragement to gangs of people. if they feel they're doing what their leadership wants them to do, and they've got to take responsibility somewhat for the rhetoric and the -- >> that is outrageous. this is outrageous. >> charge those young people with acting this way. that's what leadership is for, isn't it? >> you want to clamp down on

free speech. >> alan, isn't that what leadership is for, to set the done -- >> and they have. you seem to forget that obama has condemned this. you really think obama and de blasio hate the police? >> well, i think they use them as pawns to make political points, and i think that's probably even worse. >> the people making political points are the right blaming de blasio, blaming obama -- >> were you saying this when the left was blaming save rah pay -- sarah palin for the gabby giffords -- >> you should tune in every time i'm on. >> when you're talking about in this kind of direct involvement, meeting with the protesters and telling them to stay the course as obama did even as things had gotten violent, we've got a problem. jon: all right. we're going to have to leave it there. tammy bruce, alan colmes, thank you both. >> thank you. heather: forget the latest tech gadgets why in one country all they want for christmas is lottery tickets? plus, arizona governor jan brewer vowing a legal fight after a federal court rules some

illegal immigrants will be allowed to apply for driver's licenses.

my credit score for free, right? and then you're gonna ask me for my credit card so you can charge me on the down low two weeks later. look, credit karma - oh, are you talking to websites again? it's sayin' 'free credit score.' credit karma? yeah, it's actually free. look, you don't have to put in your credit card information. credit karma. really free credit scores. really. free. fist bump. jon: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. ladies, what do you have? >> jon, i know you're following this story. at the top of the hour, police across the nation on high alert after the shootings of two new york city officers. this as critics are slamming the mayor of new york city and the obama administration's rhetoric for fueling an already-tense situation.

>> plus, would you turn down a nearly $2 million bonus? well, the ceo who didn't take his, and wait until you hear why. >> and if your new year's resolution is to get to the gym, there's somebody who just might help you do something about that. >> so ridiculous. >> he'll get you to the tread mill. we are talking nanny state with both hands. >> all that plus our *oneluckyguy on "outnumbered." jon: you know, i spent the last week on hawaii, you guys were my wake-up news. >> well, hello. that's great. >> we aim to please. >> hope we made your morning. >> it was great. >> merry everything. jon: all right. see you at the top of the hour. heather: and welcome back once again. did you ever play the lottery, by the way? jon: not very often. heather: you might change your mind. the world's largest lottery is not in the united states, though, folks in spain have been lining up for days buying tickets for a pot of cash totaling, listen to this, $3

billion. so how it works, no one person can win it all. the top prize is known as el gordo, that means "fat." half a million, but unlike traditional lotteries that have just one jackpot, spain's annual lottery has thousands of winners. el gordo, you could be el gordo. jon: i think i already am after a week on vacation. [laughter] heather: good for you. means you had a great time. jon: i did. that's a lot of money. hey, a federal court ruling means that beginning today in arizona a group of illegal immigrants living in the u.s. known as dreamers, people brought to this country illegally as children, they are protected for deportation, but now they can also apply for driver's licenses. arizona's governor, jan brewer, however, is protesting the ruling and vowing to fight. adam houseley is live in los angeles with details on all of this. adam, what's going on? >> reporter: yeah, jon, it's been an ongoing battle in

arizona for fortune two years and for that matter, across the west really, in the southwest for longer than that. dreamers, as you mentioned, are basically young immigrants that are shielded from deportation by president obama, they were brought here illegally, as you talked about. but now in arizona specifically as of about an hour ago, they can receive driver's licenses legally. so starting today arizona's department of motor vehicles can begin processing these driver's license requests and id card applications. the lines are already long at some of the state's 40 offices. the the process will be the same as everyone else, you have to pass both the written and the road test to be able to get one of these. last week the supreme court turned down an emergency appeal, and a federal judge stopped the state from enforcing governor jan brewer's directive to deny driver's licenses to some 22,000 of these dreamers in arizona brought here illegally as children. dreamers and the aclu say that they're happy about the court's decisions. take a listen. >> i'm excited just because i'm able to do more with my life. [laughter] instead of just spending it like

just traveling. >> these licenses will give them every privilege and right that anyone with an arizona's driver's license has and, obviously, for the first time they've been allowed to even apply for the license. it's been too long in coming, but it's a terrific day. >> reporter: as with other immigration issues, governor brewer says this is a states' rights issue and not a federal one and is vowing to fight. and in a statement she says in part, quote: arizona has the constitutional right and authority to enforce state statute. this right must be protected, it must be defended, and as long as i am governor, i will do exactly that. brewer only has two weeks left in office, she is, again, vowing to fight this. this is just a drop in the bucket when you talk about arizona with roughly 22,000 people. in california as this goes forward, we're talking about 21.4 -- 1.4 million people, so this debate continues across the west and arizona, once again, the first state to go to battle against it. for about an hour and 15 minute, people have been receiving

♪ jon: chaos after lightning strikes in florida. nearly a dozen people rushed to the hospital. joining us with the story from our newsroom, patti ann brown. >> reporter: well, jon, it happened just after yesterday's football game between the tennessee buccaneers and the -- tampa bay buccaneers and the green pay packers in florida. fans were heading to their cars when a bolt of lightning struck lot 14 at about 4:10 p.m. it didn't directly hit anybody, but it shattered car windows, kicked up gravel and rocks and injured 11 people. seven were taken to the hospital while others said they were going there on their own. >> it was a flash-bang, that fast. you know what i mean, it just took you to your knees. it just scared you. you looked around who got hit because you know it was close. >> reporter: emergency crews were on the scene fast, but even before that, other fans cared for the victims. the injured are reportedly all now in stable condition or better. an suv damaged by the lightning

had to be towed away. jon: scary stuff. that's part of that weather system that maria was talking about earlier. >> reporter: yeah. jon: patti ann brown, thanks. heather: well, the stock market is on the rise heading into the holiday week. last week stocks had their best two days in a row in years, so let's take a look at the dow this morning, up about 81 points. joining us from our sister network, the fox business network's charlie gasparino. charlie, how are you feeling about things going into 2015? >> i think everything's going to be pretty good. i mean, listen, something can change this dynamic, but if it holds, it's going to be a good year for stocks. low interest rates fueled by low inflation fueled by the fact that you have low gas prices, oil prices remain pretty low, and the fact is the economy is improving but not rapidly. we're not getting massive wage growth. all that together, you add it all up, that is a recipe to buy stocks because you have low inflation, you have low interest rates, you just -- and you have a moderately growing economy.

not something crazy that would cause the fed to raise rates. what happens when you raise rates? people -- i mean, the market moves immediately, but the technical thing is people start putting their money in the bank and in bonds rather that be stocks -- than stocks. heather: do you want an economy that grows moderately rather than gangbusters? >> well, you're asking me two questions. is this a good economy? i would say, no, and that's why we we have this economy which isn't growing gangbusters. but if you're part of the rich 1% and you've got a few bucks and you want to place it somewhere, we've got to be logical about this, the market is a good place to put it. in this environment. now, this environment could change. rapid inflation could happen. you could have an asset bubble where the fed has to mass ily raise -- massively raise rates. when that changes, you'll know if you're smart because you'll be watching the fox business network and listening to me every day. if you do that, you'll know when to get out.

heather: charlie, i want to ask you about this because i know you have a lot of sources, what are they saying about these cyber attacks? i know you're going to say they're taking it seriously, but what are they doing about it? >> well, they are investing hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe billions. i don't know the exact number. but i will tell you this, this sony hack is in the news right now because there was a salacious element to it, right? and it involved north korea. the real thing that got people scared particularly in the financial business where we all have our money, you know, theoretically safe is when jpmorgan got hacked and the hackers actually got through, got some sensitive information like names but did not, were not able to get the most sensitive information like social security numbers and stuff that would actually allow them to hack and take money out of the accounts. that was a huge wake-up call. and even though they were spending before then and ramping up the defenses, that caused a major ramping up of the defenses. that, of course, occurred in the summer. heather: do they predict eventually hackers will be able to take our money out of banks?

>> you know, no one wants to say that, but it's obviously more than theoretically possible. the president was meeting with fundraisers a couple months ago where he basically said he foresees a time and place where three guys in a room somewhere and a server actually start wiping out people's identities. he said that. so they know what's going on here. they know it's bad. heather: we'll have to have you back to talk more. >> anytime. heather: you can watch charlie on our sister network, the fox business network. all you need to do is go to your t and then go -- tv and then go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. jon? jon: all right. here is a preview of some brand new stories we're working on for the 1:00 edition of "happening now," 1:00 eastern time. we are now getting the 911 recordings after a southwest jet struck a bird and was forced to make an emergency landing. wait until you hear those. plus, police in france now boosting security in the wake of an attack on officers there. a driver under arrest after
