attention because this is now a national cyber war. >> hello, i'm eric, along with dana, kimberly, bob and greg. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." president obama delivered what should be his final remarks of 2014 a few hours ago. the president then took questions from the press, he only took ability questions, some say the president ignored television reporters because he didn't have the more severe push back his comments may create, just before getting -- the topics were north korea hacking sony, the normalization of relations with cuba, the keystone pipeline and race in america, and a couple of others,

critics wonder why the president vsiyw employees. i am sympathetic to the concerns that they face. having said all that, yes, i think they made a mistake. i wish they had spoken to me first. i would have told them, do not get into a pattern in which you're intimidated by these kinds of criminal attacks. >> as for the u.s. response to north korea's hack -- >> they caused a lot of damage. and we will respond. we will respond proportionately

and we will respond in a place and time and manner that we choose, it's not something that i will announce here today in a press conference. >> so, greg, sony made a mistake, huh? >> i guess sony did, and so did, i think the theaters. this thing about him only calling on women today, i figured out this theory, because it's december 19, which is the day that bill clinton was impeached who also had a habit of calling on women. so i think it was kind of a subtle tribute to the man with his pants down. >> and by the way, most america of would not care about this story if the movie was "love actually". >> i liked that movie. >> that was a jab at dana. >> i know. >> i believe that the president has been so concerned on lecturing the world on climate change that there's real concrete habits. in this case, whatever he condemns like car gone, north korea smiles because it's like,

here you have the president of the united states watering his plants while we're setting your house on fire. he's got to learn to prioritize, he's now saying this is a threat, but this should have been a threat all along. >> k.g., president obama and hillary clinton, they both blamed the filmmaker. >> remember that. >> yes, this is the same guy that at sony that made the decision not to air the movie. >> one was a politically convenient truth and one one inconvenient. here he's saying something i think is right, that we shouldn't be intimidated. why didn't he contact them? i don't know, somebody from his office should have contacted to him about it, especially since this is a tcyber crime, they should have been in contact with the u.s. government, because the

federal bureau of investigations was on top of it in getting all the information, sauce -- "the wall street journal" was reporting that the white house was going to put north korea on their terrorism watch lift. >> it was on a terrorism watch list, or a state sponsored terrorism list. it was on and i don't think that kim jong-un really cares. i am cure outside about the president's decision to attack a u.s. company in a press conference. i think that his instincts on that were wrong, because a couple of things, you have to assume that the sony executives had information that we don't have. and it's not just -- i can't imagine it's just about their e-mails, because that's already out there, it's embarrassing, it probably can't get much worse. they're making decisions as a company based on what their lawyers are telling them, make sure the government is informed about the actual hacking and the criminal act. if i were sony, i might ask the

u.s. government why weren't you there to protect us from a nation state from attacking us? i think michael linton, the ceo of sony, i got to work with him at the broadcasting board of governors, he's an extremely thoughtful gooir. today when he did an interview, even when the president attacked sony publicly in front of the world, they were still class si and did not strike that. but they might. >> if i were sony right now, really, president obama? we made a mistake? i tell you what, we're going to release it at the bequest and behest of obama. what do you think of that? then they hang it on him off themselves. >> you're scaring me. the thing that i find amazing is that if anybody believes that north korea can do this without china number one. the other thing is what are you going to do to north korea?

in fact? what are you going to do, hack into their prison system? the thing that i found interesting, i hate to say this but i have to. >> let's move on to the other big story of the week, the move towards normaliziing u.s. nlb'çr@&eysg?!mzt=rç÷m$ét?szi5ç+ i don't know how this relationship will develop over the next several years, i'm a fairly young man, so i imagine at some point in my life i will have the opportunity to visit cuba and enjoy interacting with the cube began people.

>> dana, a lot of people are speculating. >> if you're the castro regime and you run the media in cuba, what you do is you take that sound bite that says i'm a young man and i'm looking forward to going to cuba and it's going to be great. and they're like, yes, we are so awesome here in cuba, because the castro regime basically won. history will probably look back and say this is a good decision and at the right time. i just think it could be explained a lot better. you get the feeling that fresh cigars trump cop killer who is are currently serving in havana, there's no -- there's also a sense that all the bad stuff that happened, it's a long time ago, can't we all get together. but it's not -- but it's not just, you know, we have had our differences, cuba is a marxist death yard that is actively predicted our demise, and if we had a president who can

negotiate some concessions, i would be okay with this, but he couldn't negotiate a hack off a mannequin, and that worries me, it's like what are we giving away here. >> he did mention that he was looking to get 53 people who are looking to be harbored back in cuba. >> he's got to say that, otherwise it looks really bad. >> maybe he watched for his monologue. >> that's what it is. it all ties back to the -- i'm sure he's looking forward to going to cuba, it's like a commercial for cuba, when the nfl quarterback says i'm going to disney land. president obama, i'm a young guy, i'm going to cuba. it's perfect propaganda for them and it sort of just washes away all the human rights violations and justices from this team. >> when with beyonce and 5z çoi x-d2)ees[ hey, mr. president, you ought to go here too. >> first thing i want to say is

i was in the white house during the boat lift, and while -- >> i think you're too old for me, i decided. i was there during lincoln's second inaugural. they put everybody, all their nut cases and they dumped them and actually cost bill clinton his governorship in arkansas because part of that went to kim. u but in any event, let's keep in mind these negotiations are ongoing, i do think he will get released unless and if congress does still have the power of the purse, they can build an embassy or not build an embassy. >> kwhoyou know what would be a amazing move on president obama's part. if he were to intimate or say that he were tá @nxy#pkç52!lzsúa

all under beneath our streets, going through our cities and towns, rivers and forests. the potential for train accidents is far more dangerous than pipeline. we have 2.5 million miles of pipeline, why is this a problem now? >> he also said at the very end of his keystone little answer, by the way, keystone won't have an affect on pipelines. >> somebody ripped about six pages out of the manual, because it seems he just missed the boat, i guess he doesn't watch your show. >> the fact that your gas prices are plummeting. the pressure is off a little bit. but they passed a bill, and as a keystone pine line, he will sign it. >> a lot of people heard they'll get a bill through. >> before the election, i would have said bob was right and i actually said keystone is

probably the one thing that they'll be able to work together on. >> i think he doesn't give a rat's you know what? >> sure, what do you mean by you know what? >> beeper. >> then she met you. 2014 was an explosive year in america with the -- president obama commented on the relationship between the office. u who we're thinking about race relations has been colored by ferguson, the garner case in new york, a growing awareness in the broader population of who many communities of color have

understood for some time. and that is there are specific instances at least where the -- where law enforcement doesn't feel as if it's being applied in a color blind fashion. >> bob w all that's going race is better today than when he was going with president obama. >> i agree with that, but beyond that, trying to focusing on cops murdering blacks is the wrong way to go. what i think he said here is right. it is a black community, and they get stopped more, they get frisked more, they get stopped more? >> now or six years ago 134. >> i think probably a little bit less than it was. but still, 99% of cops are fine, i don't believe there's many racist cops in america. i just don't think you can say it's all fine.

>> there's a lot of people that get stopped by cops, you just have to -- they are profiled, let's be honest about it. >> a lot of it is mistaken as profiling because there are police officers working hard in those communities to protect the law abiding citizens in that community from the lawbreakers, so it just stand to reason that -- however i have no qualm with what he said, ill thought what he said was sensible, and it was sober. and i think -- i thought it was fine. >> i think so too, i can maybe just make a comment about overall, this being the last press conference of the sixth year, and now he go into the next two years. none of that is actually going to stick because it hasn't gone through congress. he faces a very different situation in january with a new congress that's a lot more republicans, not just on the senate side, but that will be the biggest difference, but on the house side as well.

and what will happen pretty quickly here, is reporters are going to start looking past him to see who's behind and they're going to start covering the campaign and that will be -- >> i don't know why he did not raise isis, isis just took the biggest hit they have had, they have raised a lot of questions within the was peek. >> i think we have seen the president obama that we're going to see. i don't think -- i think that he can be very charming behind the scenes, when he gets to the .:skn÷8=jhu;ç,5-dexpxkñods

george clooney tried to get ---it tells you that celebrities only join causes that benefits their profiles. if there's a hint of risk, they fold faster than harvey winestein. as for the ways to climb the ladder of compatible compassion. only so many celebrities flock to green causes. if you march against fracking, maybe no one will not that your last movie tanked since thanksgiving. i thought hollywood was the land of the rebel. all those anti-heroes they create by the bushel, the edgy bad as that struts into town,

wired from -- it's just an onscreen bluff, those brave performances, are just performances, jell-o has -- we have often exposed the hypocrisies of hollywood now they -- >> eric, good that mr. cleooney called out his peers. >> he could probably get -- i find it very interesting that sony pictures puts out this statement staying they stand by the first amendment. they're pointing toward mo theaters and theater groups. like they said in the a block, you got sony pictures blessing, go ahead and release it, i place a big finger at sony not the movie theaters, theaters have the risk that if something bad happens. >> they play it though, but i

guess it happens on demand. >> we were putting it out there, or they could do it on demand, they do it digital. >> they're talking a big game, let's see if they can put up -- put up or shut up. they should play it against the walls of giant skyscrapers, bring them out, truck with a camera. >> we need drivers. i miss the drive-ins. i love the drive ins. >> god knows you probably never saw a movie another -- at one. >> the best part was the playground. there was like swing sets. >> there wasn't at mine. greg, do you remember the ones they had over at the cow palace in the bay area? >> those were good old times since the accident. >> dana, i don't know what i was going to ask you, they play with

heroes. >> the fact that they folded quicker than a cheap tent. >> that's pretty good. >> under a harvey winestein in a bathtub of something. i'm trying to be you. but sony says here in a statement, to be clear, that the only decision they have made with respect to the release of the film, was not to release it on christmas day in theaters. so they're trying to be very specific. why are they doing this two days after the fact is because they're trying to catch up. they have a crisis on their hands. i think that one of the reasons that they were hesitate to say they're going to release it on demand. sony might have information we don't have. but the big production companies haven't wanted to go just straight to demand because if they did that, who would go to release it all on demand so that we can watch it at home. >> you can get tvs that are better than movie theaters.

>> this is a great opportunity for them to be creative and strong at the same time. come up with and different idea, different approach, do something instead of just caving in. >> just to defend sony, i just think that making that decision in this two-week period, is probably easy to do, but it's probably fraught with a lot of details. >> and fbi information, we don't know everything that they know, perhaps there was specific attacks planned and they had some real intelligence and that was credible. >> we do know that clooney could not get anybody to sign this petition. this is going to come back to haunt them. >> they didn't make a movie about this because they can't portray themselves as heroes. if hollywood would stop -- >> could i do a quick thing on

sharpton? because now all of a sudden, sharpton has inserted itself once again into a controversy because of the e-mails between the head of sony and now he's like, he's now controlling the conflict and we got to stop with him followed by giuliani's response. >> had hollywood not had such an exclusionary almost all white hierarchy, one could look at the context difference. but being that hollywood is an environment that still resembles 1950s america. it is a context that is confirmed by the language. the jury is still out on where we go. >> the jury is out? i only saw one member of that jury, it was him. >> it's got to be ridiculous. now hollywood is going to have al sharpton as the jury and north korea as a sensor. we'll get to see the movies that al sharpton and north korea

liked. >> hollywood has caved to north korea and now al sharpton, i'm not sure which is worse. >> the thing about al sharpton that's very addition very disin here. >> i want to say one thing to sharpton's credit, the guy figures out a way to get into everything. they don't have to bring him in, but they brought him in, the guy has figured out a way to get -- i would like to have his frequent flyer miles. >> unbelievable. >> it's almost like a magic act how this guy inserts himself into every single -- >> he's forest gump. >> houdini. >> all right, ahead, facebook friday, my favorite thing besides face plant friday, joe

biden, his boss is talking about hillary, but not him for his job in 2016. next.

jeb bush says he's actively exploring a run to the white former secretary of state, and i think so highly of her, i think she would be an excellent president. the bush family, i think are great people, i differ with them on policy, but they have every right to do what they think is best and that's the best thing about democracy. >> i wonder how vp joe feels

that he wasn't mentioned by the president at all when talking about 2016. and meanwhile, jeb thinks he can persuade republicans to back his position on immigration. here's the governor. >> a candidate gets to persuade and i think there's a compelling case that if we want to be young and dynamic again, we have to, a, make legal immigration easier than illegal immigration, that we control our borders, that we enforce the laws, but that we embrace our immigrant heritage and allow this country to take off. i have no problems advancing that idea. >> and a lot of your base disagrees with that. >> bob, you were shaking your head in agreement. >> let me tell you why. obama should have said thank you to him on that. >> you look at the what he says, you got to protect the borders, enforce the law and at the same time encourage young people and other people who are here

illegally to get in line. the one thing about republicans is, there are more people in the republican party that agree with that. they want to enforce the borders, they want to eng fen f the laws. >> if we want to be young and dynamic again, eric bowling. >> what about giving the democrats a big break. he took the bowl away from the democrats. it's going to be a big debate in the republican party, not ours. >> oh, bobby. >> that's one of the -- do we have to talk about jeb right now? >> oh, my goodness, dana? >> i think that president obama is going to have to make a decision on how he's going to play in the next two years.

so he is going to be asked in every single interview what he thinks of this candidate or that candidate. and it is guided to say, let's not talk about it. you're going to have to answer, you said this about her, why did you say this about hem? and it gets to be a big mess. the better thing to do is focus on the policy and not worry about the politics. >> and why is there 300 people connected to obama. we're trying to egg on elizabeth warren to run. >> my question is, do kim jong-un and hillary, do they share pants suits? just a thought. i think the issue with republicans is that we are suckers for infighting, ideal logs call everyone kra siz. the real go is yin any or you lose. they're playing candy crush in a

fort made of pillows. >> don't knock it, that's a fun game. >> here's why. he's got to do a little clinton stroke because they make far scarier enemies than joe biden. >> if she doesn't run, he probably will. but there will be a lot of other people. >> all right, well, let's see, don't go away, please. because facebook friday is up next.

so it's time for our last facebook friday. i already opened this but i didn't look at the card. the first question is for kimberly, if you were santa, would bob beckle be on the nice or naughty list. >> as long as he didn't sit on

my lap. it's going to be a cold one. who would be on the naught or nice. >> would bob be on the naughty or nice list? >> when he speaks, naughty, after the show, nice. it, but i take no credit for it. >> all right, eric, from karen j., who was the biggest fool of the year? >> fool of the weeks, the biggest one of the year, we probably started it halfway through the year. we started with chris daltrey, that got a lot of reaction, the best, the biggest reaction, my favorite one, because it reallc; crazy.dñnkq]égí>á x&xzílxkvúq:z$

wh jesse ventura. >> greg, who is -- this is from danna i. not dana me. what is your biggest guest for red eye. >> amazing screen actor extraordinary. i say billy bain my favorite guest who has committed twice and backed out was mike patton from face no more. and mr. bungle. the year bangd, but he hasn't done it. clint eastwood would be lovely. >> one from me is what is my favorite thing to do outside of work? >> that's easy. >> work. >> read articles.

>> take jasper for walks. >> if i have a chance to be in south carolina ilike to be there, and i like to go on my roller blades, i like to go for my long walks. >> you like red wine, you like to cook in your crock pot or slow cooker. and you like to do core fusion. >> kimberly knows me better than i know myself. kimberly, one more for you, for kimberly, my favorite patriot, who do you credit for being the biggest influence on your political and life views as you became the woman you are today? >> easy answer, my father. the first thing he did when he got the opportunity to be here, enlist in the united states army. he was so proud to earn the nickname irish. >> bob from emily m., is there one thing that obama has done that you disagree with, if so why? >> there's probably more than

one, but i think the pipeline he should have agreed to that. and i think, frankly, i would have taken a much stronger line on syria and i would have -- i would have set up the missiles. >> and would you have done anything with social security or tax reform or -- i'm just kidding. >> i don't. >> eric, this is from mark r. who was your role model when you were growing? >> growing up? i had a great college -- college age i had a great college professor who was an economist, u but he was also conservative, he was like work hard, you get ahead. baseball -- >> roberta clemente, great humanitarian, very charitable. >> minimouse. >> i like kathy rig by. great journalist. bob, does your wife think you're funny? >> this is for greg. >> define funny.

yes and no. i think she finds me funny and then also extremely weird and neurotic and a pain in the neck. >> it's interesting the thing that a woman is attracted to you about is also the thing they end up hating you about. so it's like, if you are -- if you make them laugh a lot, then you're -- then when you're married, it's like you're never serious. >> i love everything about you. >> yeah. >> bolling crack it up, he loves it. >> the last one for me, who would you like to be stuck in an elevator with? >> kimberly's going to bother me. ahead, stevphen colbert filed hs report on comedy central last night, and he got a star studded

sendoff. you're going to see that next.
