thought this was the city that never sleeps. >> good morning. you are watching "fox & friends first" on this friday morning. i am gillian turner. >> always a lovely day on a friday morning. >> thank you for starting your day and ending yaur week with us. we are talking about the obama administration delivering swift retribution to russia for allegedly tampering with the 2016 election. >> a furious vladimir putin promising he's going to retaliate. he we are live in washington, d.c. with all of the breaking details. >> good morning to you. this parting shot at russia by the obama administration with a long list of sanctions that comes along with a joint report from the fbi and department of homeland security showing evidence of russian siesh interference surrounding our elections. the new sanctions include naming two russian tinl against

agencies largely behind the effort and two companies in support of the espionage efforts. they have declared 35 russian intelligence efforts and giving them 72-hours to leave the country. shutting down two russian compounds use bide russian personnel. it also stated it will take additional action that will not be publicized. those are likely on the cyber front. the agencies responded president obama expelled 35 diplomats in cold war déjà vu everybody including american people will be glad to see the last of this hapless administration. lame duck. russian interference saying it is tame for our country to move on to bigger and better things.

never in the interest of our country and great people i will meet with leaders of the intelligence committee next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation. lawmakers in both parties are questioning the timing of the sanctions and others are questioning how much force they actually carry. >> the allegation of the sub significance to fox in president elect trump forcing him to take position otherwise where he takes office. i hope this isn't motivated tol politics even a little bit. the concern is if the sanctions are in place what will president elect trump do once he takes office? will he repeal them or leave them? >> great info. thank you, garrett. these saipgss are a good start but they don't go far enough

john bolt den says. we need to shame russia into never crossing america again. >> these sanctions are pitifully inadequate. we have froenz the assets of named individuals and organizations in the united states. how many russian intelligence officials do you think have assets to begin with and won't be able to shop on 5th avenue. as for the statement by president obama that other unspecified actions will be taken in the future, this president has no credibility when it comes to that. one critical component of that kind of strategy is not just to harm them but to shame them. to say this is what we have done and we have the capability to do more. they have suffered and tells everybody else in the world specifically china and others that they better not think about it either. >> do the russians go for

enough? e-mail us at fox & friends first and we will share them later in the show. now unprecedented security as the world prepares to usher in the new year. a live look at time's square to protect the nearly 28 million people planning to ring in the new year here. al li patricia stark is here wi more. >> final preparations are underway in time's square ahead of tomorrow night's massive gathering. they are keeping those in at no time crowd safe. >> we will have the most safest venues in the entire world given all of the assets employed hear

and dir bee during the cold war. this creates such a chilling effect for any one particularly in western europe who wants to do business like rent an apartment rent a car to any one they suspect might be a russian intelligence officer. like the sanctions levied against the iranian revolutionary guard core in response to the work in the nuclear program this latest sanction could add an effect on russia's ability to operate in highly developed areas like western europe. >> a lot of folks are saying this isn't enough that these sanctions are a slap on the wrist. what -- can you layout for us what you think are the other options other additional steps you can take to try to push back against russia. we know they could use something covertly, cyberhacking of our own perhaps. but is that the only other option? >> well, the problem with russia is they have never been satisfied with the frontier to

the west, to the south or even in the east where it disputes a frontier with japan. through out its history it presses on before it feels a weakened part of that border is at any given time. the catch is that there is no history found russia. pushing back on russian borders anywhere not militarily but ngo's and local governments it can send a powerful signal to the kremlin that they should stop reaching outward and go inwa inward. >> when you think about sending a signal i want to look at the time line of this. is this a signal from donald trump from the obama administration. is that what this is about more so than this alleged hacking which by the way they admitted that this specifically involves the hacking into the dnc and there is no proof that it is

motor home fact connected to the election outcome itself. >> there are two things going on here. one is the russians should obviously not be trying to effect our election period. number two i don't think any one thinks if hillary clinton had won the national election there would be this much attention played toward russia's role in the process. >> sthooivengs, andrew. great insight for us today. we will have you back soon. >> the illegal immigrants now being paid to stay in their on countries. >> it is safe to say this was a bad year for anthony weiner. he is not the only ones. the scandals of 2016 up next. with the xfinity tv app,
