i'm arthel neville. stick around. "hannity" starts now. orrow. >>> welcome to "hannity." tonight emotions remain high in new york city following yesterday's announcement that nypd officer daniel pantaleo has been cleared in the death of eric garner. last night we witnessed hundreds of people taking to the streets of new york city and other cities around the country to protest that decision. according to the "new york post" at least 78 arrests were made throughout the night and more demonstrations are expected tonight. we turn now to fox's own jonathan hunt standing by in the middle of tonight's crowds with the very latest. jonathan. >> reporter: sean, the crowds are even larger than they were in fact last night. we are in downtown manhattan. behind me you can see the supreme court of new york and the federal court. so we are at the heart of the new york justice system. the justice these people feel was denied to both eric garner and michael brown. let's try to talk to a couple of the protesters here and see why they're here, what their point is. tell tonight? >> well, i a

movie was being made in the late 1930s according to the document air "the tramp and the dictator," neville chamberlin's government wanted to ban its distribution in britain all in service ever its policy of appeasement towards nazi germany. by the time the movie was released in 1940, britain was at war with germany and everything had changed. why does the terrorist threat from north korea produce appeasement and indifference where threats from islamic terrorists produce courage and defiance and resilience? i suspect that it's because we are fully aware of the barbarism of jihadi terrorists, but we tend to think of north korea in somewhat comical terms. the odd dictators with their strange haircuts, the weird synchronized mass adulation in stadiums, the massive propaganda and rhetoric. in fact, north korea is one of the world's most repressive and brutal dictatorships. estimates are that it allowed 1 to 2 million of its own people to starve in a famine in the 1990s. the u.n. says that north korea abducted thousands of people from neighboring countries following the korean war and currently

both because i know you but also because of annie say you wrote it's time to shake off shadow of neville chamberlain and confront the bully s. this the situation where the u.s. you expect will take some action but never announce what it was and frankly, never even acknowledge that they did it, much like the israelis? >> i think that's a possibility. i do think that the president's options are quite limited. it's not as if economic sanctions would work. we're certainly not going to the u.n. and complain. he's limited to some kind of cyber response. and whether or not he chooses to announce that i'll leave that up to the discretion of the president. but i think his options are limited. more importantly whatever they are he has to use one and it has to be significant. there have to be consequences to this direct brutal attack against private enterprise in the u.s. of america if they were offended by our freedom of speech so be it. if you are easily offended we understand but it doesn't warrant this kind of destruction of our intellectual property and in a -- the internet may not have border

he says hollywood has done neville chamberlain proud today. steve carell had a movie canceled greenlit called "pyongyang," of course, about north korea saying it was a sad day for creative expression. >> does this movie have any potential ever, julia, to reach pay-per-view where it might actually make a lot of money for sony because goodness sakes, the publicity it has gotten is priceless. >> reporter: i certainly think that this movie could be huge on video on demand. right now sony has told us that there are no plans to release it on video on demand. of course, that could all change. i think it will be really interesting to see what happens over the next several weeks, even over the next month if they find out any information about the credibility of this threat. sony has ruled it out for now, but anything could change in the future. >> eamon, this sony story has tentacles that go into lots of different industries. and it goes beyond the mere fact that sony's computers were hacked. the government says by pyongyang or agents working on behalf

. >> reporter: yesterday's pounding stormed the neville lot of am packs but got one thing about was the water supply. the 5 1/2 inches of rain that was received last week has brought the water level up dramatically. navato was still collecting rent runoff from the storm which is good. >> reporter: the rainfall totals are just under 16 in.. but that still wasted got both here is that lake and the bottles prime primary water supply the river. now is not the time to start wasting water. if you do have your irrigation system on one is time to turn it off the soil is saturated and now's a good time to take that step. >> reporter: so the bottom line is been looking little bit better year in the city of davao del the water due deluge of rain has really helped the water supply. all little good news was coming at of the storm. >> pam: a union said the elder cal facility is badly damaged after retreat came crashing down into the building fire officials say a 90 ft. tall eucalyptus it all the eucalyptus tree fell into two bedrooms of the new haven or facility. that was around 4:20 a.m. this mornin

. >> i'm arthel neville.sident obama getting r&r in his home state of hawaii after a busy week of dealing with cuba and north korea. but he'll be coming back to washington next month to a capitol hill commanded by republicans. >> for those planning to go overseas for the holidays the state department says they should keep their eyes and ears open for any possible threats against americans. >>> plus, our legal experts take on the interview and sony's decision to bow down to terror. >> but first, to the foreign cyber terrorist attack against america. the north koreans now insisting they didn't do it. and they say they're being unfairly smeared by president obama. well, the rogue regime threatening the u.s. if we don't join them in a joint investigation of what happened. the fbi as you know officially has laid the blame on pyongyang's doorstep for the massive computer hack of sony entertainment and for the threats of violence that led the movie company to cancel the release of that movie "the interview." but tod

hollywood has done and neville chamberlain proud today.t sony should have caved? they have nothing left? >> they had no other choice. they have done a disastrous job in terms of handling this thing. when theater owners started to pull out yesterday they had to. is not sony's responsibility to execute foreign policy. god forbid something happen. we have a government, an administration that doesn't take responsibility. they love a scapegoat, if you are head of a publicly traded company, you have another choice of this. before lots of movies -- offend people. i saw a movie a couple years ago where a u.s. senator was shot by an american because he was a republican. a lot of movies of and people. someone picks up a phone or send the threat, a am blowing something up. where do i draw the line? >> they -- it is not their responsibility. holland like to see this as the soldiers of social justice but at the end of the day, share price matters. >> the word is what is going on is north korea, the government did the attack itself but underlings did it

hollywood has done neville chamberlain proud today.af movie stars who just want their name on the concernen and have no about the ramifications on movie screens and movie theaters? >> this is an artistic freedom question. it is a first amendment question. it impacts every person in the media, in the artistic community. what we have seen is a country that does not like their depiction in a piece of media or entertainment, effectively being able to stop that from being distributed. the ramifications of that are large. >> how much will this affect that other movies to get rain that? >> i think it will be tremendous. people in hollywood are already saying north korea is out as a villain in a movie? who else is? china, iran? >> matt -- quickly, why didn't sony just release straight to pay-per-view ? >> i think a lot of people are speculating about that. one theory is that the insurance ramifications. they have a better likelihood of getting paid if they completely scrapped the film rather than if they released it in a small way. i have also
