New York Police Department proves excelling at keeping americas largest cities safe with the new york murder rate falling to a record low. Prominent black conservative niger innis is here to explain why he thinks cops are black americas best ally. And the president making the most of his vacation with lots of golfing, shaved ice and snorkeling, thats going to come to an abrupt end. All about the battles that lie ahead between president obama and the new republican congress. But we begin with the president s move to penalize north korea for the sony hack attack. The white house hitting the rogue regime with economic sanctions with what the white house says is the first part of response against Sony Pictures. James rosen has our report. Reporter president obamas executive order empowers the Treasury Department to broaden sanctions against north koreas heavily sanctioned arms apparatis as well as key regime officials in iran and syria. This is a new moment in history where were singling out the state sponsor of an attack on an american entity. And i think almost less interesting than what it says about the situation with north korea is that it says something very interesting about the future of diplomacy and conflict. Reporter White House Press secretary josh earnest is in response to the government of north koreas provocative, destabilizing and repressive actions and policies, particularly destructive and coercive cyberattack. We take seriously north koreas attack that aim to create destructive financial effects on the u. S. Company and threaten artists and other individuals with the goal of restricting right to free expression. Hello everybody. Reporter asked two weeks ago whether he was considering sanctions on pyongyang, president obama refused to say. Working up a range of options presented to me. I never heard this before. Reporter it was on december 19 that the fbi first alleged that north korea hacked Sony Pictures to retaliate for the studios dark comedy the interview which envisioned the assassination of kim jongun. This week a californiabased Cybersecurity Firm norse briefed the fbi on evidence suggesting that exsony employees may have been culpable prompting the fbi to double down in a statement saying. And the manner it was placed on the systems is specifically designed to steal a significant amount of data. They knew where the servers were at and what they needed to destroy. Reporter the president s sanctions order is, quote, the first aspect to the hack attack on sony, the closest the administration has come to saying flatout that the u. S. Played no role in the repeated outages suffered by the north korean internet such as it is. Cheryl . Thank you, james rosen, joining me to discuss north korea and the numerous other Foreign Policy challenges facing the Obama Administration. Fourstar army general and former army vice chief of staff jack keane of course a fox news military analyst. Jack, good evening to you, happy new year. Lets first talk about north korea. James rosens report says that norse, theyre breefbing the fbi saying youre going down the wrong road, there was russian language in the code. Did the Obama Administration react too swiftly with the executive order . Absolutely not. This private Security Firm while its a good firm is not familiar with the depth of what the National Security agency, nsa, is providing to the fbi here, and having some work and familiarity with this and the forensics they can chase, im confident the fbi has got this right. Thats why they doubled down on it and certainly wouldnt put the president in the position to execute sanctions against somebody not worthy of it. Do you think that the North Koreans take the sanctions themselves, do you think theyre taking them seriously . Seems that north korea is now reaching to south korea for a helping hand. Which makes odd bedfellows. North korea isnt about to back down against the u. S. Do you think . Especially when they attacked us, if this report is true . Normally if we had Something Like this from a normal nation state that did conduct a cyberattack, we would respond in kind. In other words, we would conduct an offensive cyberattack against that nation. Sort of a quid pro quo sort of thing, and the fact of the matter is we had the number one offensive capability in the world highly classified in terms of what it can actually do. The problem we have with north korea, cheryl, is one they dont have a network, there are very few people who use the internet. Two, theyre economically impoverished country. We have trade and economic sanctions on them right now. Theres not much that we can get at here. The one thing that has got their attention in the past and i think were going to do some of it here is go after personal wealth of key members of the regime. That will get their attention. North korea doesnt care about tens of thousands of people suffering more than they already suffer. It Means Nothing to them. Another challenge the Obama Administration is going to face in the Foreign Policy challenge. That is the issue of russia. There are reports now that the president has actually put secretary of state john kerry, and even they talked about Henry Kissinger can reach out to Vladimir Putin using the back channel to repair a relationship with Vladimir Putin. This is a sanction story but is it the right strategy by the administration . Well i dont diminish anyone for trying to reach out and make something work thats not working well. If we sprinkle a little reality on this putin enjoys this testing of the relationship. It has helped enhance prestige at home, its over 80 and soaring, despite the economic challenges it has, because it has restored russia to some sense of world prestige and theres a rise of nationalism. He enjoys it and will continue to fester it. He looks at two more years of the Obama Administration and clearly intends to continue to take advantage of the white house and the europeans who will not stand up to him. Interesting, the other issue is cuba. The president making a very bold move in reigniting ties with cuba after 50 years and many on the republican side not happy with the way he has handled and opened the doors to cuba. Do you think that the russian cuban relationships which seems to be strengthening, since this announcement was made by the president. Is that something we should be concerned about the fact that russia and cuba are becoming more allies than before . It was predictable in dealing with cuba. Thats why i side with those who said if we make a deal with cuba, certainly should have received something in return. I wouldnt have made the deal to begin with. We got nothing in return, and here give the russians rights for long range bombers and other military capabilities. That is something that we should have foreseen, we should have prevented from happening, and we have an empty hand that were playing with cuba. We know now theyre cracking down on dissidents again. I doubt seriously if theyll release any dissonance or people in prisons for political reasons in comprehensive fashion which is one of the things we did insist on. There will be more of this pokings you in the eye from cuba despite the fact we tried to normalize relations. Final question in regards to senator john mccain, hes in Armed Services one of the things hes vocally displeased about is handling of syria and isis as well. We have a powder keg that didnt need to erupt. Hillary clinton has come out and criticized her former boss for handling of syria. Do you think senator mccain could be a force the president is going to have to reckon with in the spring of 2015, and do you think the president is ready for that fight . I think so obviously, senator mccain enjoys tremendous respect in the nation, and he has been a voice that opposes a lot of the Foreign Policy decisions the president has. Whats different now is the power he will have, as the chairman of the senate Armed Services committee, one of the most powerful in the senate and the fact that the republicans have a majority. That will influence legislation, you can tick them off here in terms of one sequestration pushing back on the president s policy in the Previous Congress policy irans sanctions make them tougher. Whole range of things theyre able to put into legislation, not just voice opposing viewpoint, that will force the administration to deal with the legislation. General jack keane. Thank you for being here. Happy new year, sir . Happy new year cheryl. The World Health Organization is reporting that more than 8,000 people have died from the Ebola Outbreak in west africa. Good news, however, the number of new cases reported in guinea and liberia has somewhat stabilized. At home the center ares if Disease Control plans to hire chief of laboratory safety. The newly created position after multiple mishandling incidents of potentially deadly pathogens in labs last year including the ebola virus. Government Health Officials are reporting this years flu outbreak is an epidemic. That is because 36 states are reporting high levels of flu activity. Making matters worse, this years flu shot is only 50 effective. Coming up next the relationship between new yorks liberal mayor and beloved police force icy. As the commissioner issues a warning to new yorks finest. Conservative civil rights activist niger innis joins us next. New York City Police commissioner bill bratton pleading with officers not to turn their backs on mayor de blasio again. He is concerned about a funeral for the second officer gunned down in an ambush scheduled for sunday. Police turned their backs on de blasio during the first officers service, bratton writes in a memo, quote but the riff between police and de blasio is evidence. On new years eve, a plane flew over the hudson with a banner reading de blasio apologize to the nypd. It was paid for by a group of current retired new york officers. Joining us niger innis executive director of the tea party. Net. Welcome to the program. You make an interesting program. You assert that black americas best ally is the police, but isnt the beef with the police based on race and the attacks on black americans in this country . Well, the reason i say that and i say this from an analytical perspective and a very personal perspective. Cheryl, i grew up in harlem, new york in the 70s and 80s when the average murder rate was 2,000 murders per year. Alltime high of 2600 lives taken in 1990 preRudy Giuliani and before the police reform, the aggressive policing tactics that came to fruition. Overwhelming majority of lives lost including two of my brothers that were murdered come from black and brown and poor community. Therefore, when the Police Reforms were made by Rudy Giuliani and followed by his successor and the murder rate went down by 70 75 . Instead of a murder rate of 2,000 per year you have a murder rate of 250 or less per year. Whose lives are saved . Those lives that are saved are going to disproportionately be black and brown lives that are saved. If we truly value life, we should not only value the nearly 130 lives that are taken by police officers, but how about the 5,000 to 6,000 lives often taken because of crime and often black on black crime. Niger, we got in the murder rate tally for new york city for 2014. 328. A record low. Amazing. Can de blasio take credit for this . Of course not. The de blasio disaster and the what i call the obamaholderde blasiosharpton Police Reforms they think will reverse this historic dramatic drop in crime theyre not going to come to fruition overnight. When rudy jewel was elected in 1993 and came into office in 1994, the crime rate did drop but the dramatic drop in crime did not take place until his reforms started to take effect year two, three, four and continued under the blumberg administration. Tragically, the political correct agenda of the obamaholdersharptonde blasio regime is going to have a disastrous impact on those very tactics that were used to save lives. Interesting that you bring up al sharpton and include him in the regime. Hes a talk show personality, if you can say that, on another network. Hes been to the white house 72 times. In your opinion, do you think that he has help or hurt the black community and all of this . He has hurt the black community, and the fact is that obamaholder, his senior partners, and sharpton control the countrys agenda in urban centers, not just for the last six years of the Obama Administration. Urban centers have been dominated by government liberal progressives for nearly 50 years, they have been a disastrous failure, and what they see here with these protests all around the country is to maintain their relevance. They cannot say that the Unemployment Rate is down in the black community. They cannot say that Economic Opportunity is available for the black community. They cannot they black kids are getting a decent education. What do they want to say . Hands up dont shoot. Niger innis, you are such a voice, pleasure to have you here. Happy new year. You, too.
