family and the joy that simple gesture spread overwhelmed me. once again if you want to make this country and world a better place, send a senior citizen you know some flowers, a gift basket, doesn't have to be big, something like that, along with a really nice note. it will make their month. not their day. >> and the factor tip of the day. los angeles is the along to get along town, because the show biz industry dominates and there are very few jobs in that arena. conservative actors and production people tell me that many liberal executives will not hire folks who are not left wing and you know what? i believe that. again, the entertainment business very small, a lot of nasty competition going on. to survive out here economically, many people go along to get along and that's

why you have this liberal culture. it's understandable, but i continue to believe the mark of an honest person is courage. stand up for what you believe in a rational way. in the long run, it will pay off. factor tip of the day. that's it for us tonight, check out the fox news factor website, different from o'reil oreilly.com. and we want you to spout off about the factor anywhere in the world. o'reilly@foxnews.com, name and town if you wish to opine. word of the day do not be laconic when writing to us. i'm bill o'reilly reporting from los angeles. please remember the spin stops here in l.a. it's definitely looking out for you. >> . >> and welcome to "hannity"

and tonight we are monitoring a developing story regarding yet another deceptive edit made by the mainstream media in an effort to protect a member of the president's inner circle, this time involves abc news and the first lady, we will have a full report on what appears to be a blatant attempt to provide cover for michelle obama. and we'll get reaction from dana perino and stuart varney. first the big story this hour is the countdown to the sequester. because in two short days at the stroke of midnight march 1st, 85 billion in spending cuts will be triggered and even with the clock ticking closer and choser to the deadline. our commander-in-chief, president himself. did not try to hammer out a bipartisan solution to the mess he put the country in. instead of focusing on fixing the problem he decided to take his sequester scare tactics to

the commonwealth of virginia and as usual his teleprompter was loaded with some of the name irresponsible rhetoric we're accustomed to. and the choice of words was so ridiculously similar to what we heard exactly a week ago we could not resist on the program to put together a "hannity" highlight reel of president panic in action. do not adjust your screen. this is not deja vu you're seeing, not seeing double. sadly, this is the quote, leadership in the the age of obama. >> in a few days congress might allow a series of immediate, painful, arbitrary budget cuts to take place, known in washington as the sequester. >> now, congress allows this meat cleaver approach to take place. it will jeopardize our military readiness, it will eviscerate job creating

investments and education and energy and medical research. early education like head start and early start would be eliminated for nearly a thousand children. >> border patrol agents will see their hours reduced. >> fbi agents will be furloughed. federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let folks go. >> air traffic contollers and airport security will see cutbacks and cuss more delays at airports across the country. and parents who have to scramble to find child care for their kids. hundreds of thousands of americans whose access to primary care and cancer screenings, these cuts are wrong. they are not smart, they are not fair, they will hurt our economy, they're a self-inflicted wound that doesn't have to happen. they don't have to happen. now i've laid out a plan that details how we can pay down

our deficit in a way that's balanced and responsible. >> a balanced plan. one that pairs more spending cuts with tax reform and close the special interest loopholes. >> the second i get that bill on my desk i will sign it into law, but i've got get congress to pass it. >> not one of us will get 100% of what we want. >> the classic if and when the sequester takes effect on friday, more interesting in fear mongering than finding a solution. and congressman keith ellison from minnesota, welcome back, sir. >> you bet. >> sean: i guess that's what we can describe as staying on message, something the democratic party i would argue is very good at. >> you're pretty good at it, too. >> sean: thank you. >> quite frankly you are the-- >> i can't hear you. >> you heard me. no, say it again. >> i heard you what you just

displayed was not journalism, it was yellow journalism, it wasn't anything close to trying to tell the american people what's really going on and i mean, it's just shocking. >> sean: yellow journalism, to play obama in his own words is yellow journalism. >> with the background music and the leadup before you let the president talk. let me tell you, everything the president said is absolutely true. >> sean: yeah. >> for you to try to make the american people make you think it isn't is deceptive on your part and a breach of everything, every journalistic effort i heard of was violated by you. >> sean: really. >> and the president was truthful. the preds was honest, what the president said was dead on accurate and for you to say the president is to blame here is ridiculous. i was there august, 2011 when the republicans, your party, which you shamelessly-- >> i'm not a republican, let me correct the record. >> you are nothing, but a republican. >> sean: no, no, sir. >> yes, you are. >> sean: sir, sir, i'm a

registered-- >> well-- >> congressman i am not a registered republican, i'm a registered conservative. >> you are a shill for the republican party. >> sean: i'm a registered conservative, sir. >> alibi them one-- >> keep ranting. >> let me just say this. >> sean: keep ranting. >> what the president said is absolutely true. the president, the people watching the show should ignore all of the commentary that you put in and all of these heightened music that you put on and pay attention to what the president actually said. what the president said was true. you by the way are inaccurate when you say that the president is to blame here, he's not. it was the republicans in august of 2011 said that they were going to call the american economy to default on debts already acquired unless there were not deep and substantial cuts and we ended up with a downgrade because of what the republicans did and after that, we set up this thing called the super

committee and when all the republican members on that super committee had pledged to grover norquist they would not raise revenue only to cut and after it failed, after all going to we ended up with-- >> let me a-- >> i could rant and i'm going to. we'll let you get a word in. >> sean: you're so nice to give me a word on my own question. >> i changed my mind. >> sean: let me ask you, you said the-- congressman, i will give you your chance i gave you three minutes to rant, calm down. i gave you three minutes, relax, i've got a question for you. you were invited on the program to answer a question, i want to give awe couple of questions. >> no, i'm going to-- >> congressman, you said. >> i'm going to say what i think is right. >> sean: why are you so angry, you're so angry. >> why are you angry. >> sean: i'm not angry i'm laughing the at you because i think it's caomical. >> i'm latching at youghing at

it's not the first time. >> sean: and i invited you on and let you rant for three minutes and spirit of bipartisanship, let's-- >> a republican. >> sean: i'm a registered conservative you want to make a bet, a $10,000 bet. >> i don't bet, i don't bet. >> sean: i'm telling you i'm a registered conservative. i wrote a book called conservative victory. not republican victory. >> do you have a question for you. >> sean: first of all, it was max baucus and bob woodward that said that the president requested the sequester point one. point two my question to you is simple. barack obama because you said what he said isn't-- >> and by the republican party, sequester is a provision of the-- >> congressman, relax. >> the republicans are responsible for the. >> sean: rah, rah, rah, i've got it i know you're a broken record. let me get you my question. >> you're a broken record. >> sean: here is my question.

barack obama said in 2008 when he was running for office that george bush was irresponsible and unpatriotic for when he became president we had 10 trillion dollars in debt. >> you want to ask me about-- >> we now have 16 trillion. and 16 trillion in debt, congressman. >> i'm had here to speak myself. you want to talk about-- okay. >> sean: i want to ask you, here is my question. >> i've got an answer for snu go ahead. >> you want to talk about the 16 trillion, let's close loopholes on large corporations and say that yachts and jets should not be something you can write off. say that exxon-mobile and chevron should not get a tax rebate and a subsidy. let's start there. let's say that the people who earn, who get to pay less. >> sean: all right, congressman, you're ranting really well. >> you say-- >> if you don't like what i'm saying sean, i'm not backing down. >> sean: is it immoral. >> you are immoral. >> sean: i'm immoral?

what did i do that's immoral. i didn't do. >> you say things that aren't true. >> sean: give me one example, sir. >> well, to try to say that it is, that it is the president's fault that he is to blame is wrong and it's a lie it's not true. >> sean: it's not his fault that we have 16 trillion in debt. he didn't add 6 trillion to the debt since he's been president. >> no, no he, no. >> sean: you did add 6 trillion to debt since he's been president. >> what about the other 10. >> sean: congressman you're closed by the time. i'm moving on, our audience deserves better and tried to give you a fair shot. and coming up abc ended an interview in order to cover up what the first lady said about gun violence. and we'll have a report on the developing story, but first, we'll try and come and have a civil discussion and scott walker is here to have a talk and discussion and debate, and we'll respond to the scare tactics fueled by obama

the senate to act to avoid the sequester. with only two days before the 85 billion dollar cuts go into effect. will we see the typical 11th hour or the president panic and-- kind of like keith ellison. and governor from the great state of wisconsin is scott walker. maybe you won't call me a yellow journalist and immoral and-- that will be a "hannity" classic. >> we'll have respect and answer your questions and have a conversation. >> sean: and the question i was trying to get out to keith ellison if he wanted to hear it the debt is now 16 trillion dollar we're talking about cutting 85 billion of 3.6 trillion. is it immoral to borrow that much money from our kids? >> well, it's kind of like almost every day in our household, we get those credit cards mailed to us, try this

credit card, try this credit card. kind of like taking one of those credit cards and having a $100,000 spending spree and hand it to your kids and say, you get to pay the bill and the president proposed along with the congress, and we had to get serious about reduction and tackling the debt and theory was that time and coming true now that the cuts would be no bad, so arbitrary as the president called them yesterday that the president and the congress would work some way to find an alternative. well, this is the moment that leaders are made for. this is the moment where the president can stand up and say if he doesn't like the arbitrary nature of these cuts which a lot of people are concerned about, instead use his administration, offer a better, more viable, reasonable alternative, but instead of that, unfortunately, he's going around scaring people into thinking the only way to get past this is to raise taxes yet again.

>> sean: the president kicked the press out prior to meeting with all the governors yesterday. how did the discussion with the president go? >> well, you know, there's the normal beginning set of cordial thing and i and bobby jindal and others asked pretty straight forward questions and request absolute earnessness asked the president if the words he used when the press was there these were arbitrary cuts and that would be a great concern and i think for governors, republican and democratic alike we're concerned about the arbitrary nature. most of us governors the last two years in every state in america have had to balance our budget, most of us, some used tax increases most of us at least the republicans were able to bal without raising taxes by taking control, by getting in charge of things, and working with our administration and working with our cabinet and finding a way to get it it done. i suggested to the president maybe if he was concerned if he was concerned with the arbitrary cuts, to use his administration to offer up better cuts, alternative cuts,

he's not interested. he's changed the scope instead of just being about deficit reduction through spending reductions instead he wants tax increases as a part of that and most americans believe there is he' too much waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government that needs to be cut before anybody starts talking about tax increases. >> all right, well, let's go to the president's been a demagogue, i'm listening to the congressman ellison, he's bought into the demagoguery himself, he's regurgitating it. as you pointed out this is what the president wanted he requested the sequester now they've kicked the can down the road as far as they can. so the president goes out there today and this is how insane this choice has become of him. and it's very representative of a president that's gotten away with saying anything at will, anytime he wants. now he's actually saying that this is a choice between disabled kids and poor kids being cut. watch this from earlier today. >> you know the problem is when you're cutting 85 billion dollars in seven months, which

represents over a 10% cut in the defense budget in seven months, there's no smart way to do that. there's no smart way to do that. you don't want to have to choose between let's see, do i close funding for the disabled kids or the poor kids. do i close this navy ship yard or some other one? >> do i cut the disabled kids or the poor kids? what do you make of the president's rhetoric. i think it's a moving target and i think the american people just don't buy into it. they understand that, they believe in every level of government, the local level, the state level, but particularly in our nation's federal government they know and see it all the time that there's waste, fraud and abuse all over the place and they believe that a small portion of that is not a whole lot to ask the people in washington. the president and the congress to get down, get to the table

and find a way to get it done and to me one of the rare moments where it calls for leaders to stand up and get it done and instead of demagoguing. think about it. the president the other day released talking points and white house released talking points state by state about the cuts put in place to the press, before they actually gave them to the governors, every governor in america was invited to be there yesterday. and we didn't see those, we had to learn about those first from the press before we saw them, and if you were serious about providing leadership to provide alternatives, you talk about that with the governor first this is about talking points and scary people and it was about providing the leadership to actually get things under control and trying to change the debate and put it on the backs of the american taxpayer and that hasn't worked before, it's not going to work now and we need leadership to step up and find a better, positive alternative. >> sean: governor, it's immoral to steal from our children, that's what we're doing. thank you for being with us. >> thank you, sean. >> sean: a shocking story in the new york times accuses former top obama campaign ads

of selling now access to the white house. plus, as promised, details about another deceptive edit in the mainstream media this time covering up something inaccurate said by the first lady regarding gun violence. we'll check with dana and stuart on this edition of "hannity." >> he doesn't have a clue. he's never had a business. he's never had a real job. he doesn't understand how it all works. >> sean: and also the president of the national black chamber of commerce is here with some very strong words about the obama administration's economic policy. this an interview that will have a lot of people talking. let not your heart be troubled. that and more straight ahead. textile production in spain, and the use of medical technology in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 75% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. twe price. invest with confidence.

. . >> all right. so would you like a one-on-one meeting with president obama? if you do, you better be ready to reach deep into your pockets because access to the president is now for sale. here is the story. over the weekend the new york times reported that members of the president's reelection campaign have formed a spin-off, liberal advocacy group that's called organizing for action. now, group's main purpose is to basically raise money to spread the obama administration's radical agenda, or quote, giving or raising 500,000 or more puts

nos on the national donors on a national advisory board for mr. obama's group, and the privilege of attending quarterly meetings with the president along with other meetings at the white house. and dana perino from the "the five" fox business network, stuart varney and-- do it. >> my name is bond, james bond. >> he's practiced for years. >> for 40 years americans have come up to me and said, say it, say it and you finally did. >> sean: i've got it on tape now. i thought it wasn't going to do it. maybe we should raise money and send you to every quarterly meeting. >> i'd be delighted. like pornography, you can't define it and you know it when you see it. i'm talking pay to play, it's influence peddling. could you call king barack the first. he says to his courtiers get

out there and squeeze the rich and high councils and tell them what you want to hear and you've got to pay for it. it's like peddling influence. >> sean: is this any different than selling access to the lincoln bedroom, the clinton years? >> somebody could look at it, i thought it was interesting and my co-host "the five" bob beckel, come on what president said he's going to be different and not had money influencing politics and change his mind. but ins pretty bold and i remember when organizing for action was first created i thought, are they going to run into some problems and i would say that the press secretary, jay carney yesterday, he earned his money for the president yesterday because when he went out to talk about this, he kind of had to tap dance a little bit and i think if i were he, i would have said, you know, jim messina, you guys think you're so smart putting this together. you go and brief the press. >> sean: i was thinking this

week when robert gibbs admitted he was applying for the press secretary job which is the job you held under president bush, that he was told never to refer to the drone program that we have going on. would you have taken the job. well, that was-- i don't know all of the details so i don't know how the whole conversation went. the question that was put to him was about transparency in the white house and about drones and as a press secretary there's one of two ways that it can work. you can either be kept in the dark about things and then not get yourself in trouble by lying because you simply don't know, i don't think theys a really good way to work. i think it's good for press secretaries to nochknow. i think it's a stretch to ask press secretaries to not acknowledge things they have knowledge about. even though you have to tell the press, i understand you're asking and i don't have anything for you on that, and then move on. excuse is that it's an independent group, go ask them the questions, well-- >> it's not. >> not entirely independent. >> certainly not. and the reason they didn't

organize this before the election because you cannot under our election law coordinate between a campaign and the presidency and that's what it would have looked like and they waited until afterwards and they'll say we're doing what everybody else did, but it really is different and i don't-- it might be legal, but it certainly smacks of hypocrisy. >> sean: let me ask you both a media question. i argue for democracy to function, we need a vibrant, strong, media. one that asks the tough questions. we've not had that in the obama years. tell me if this is a big deal. this is michelle obama, she's on good morning america. pay very close attention to what is not in there, the term automatic weapons. watch this. >> in january, mrs. obama attended the funeral of one young victim in chicago, gunned down just a week after performing at the inauguration. >> the hideya was an honor student. one thing she said at the funeral i did everything i was suppose today do she was absolutely right she did everything she was supposed to

do. she was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids grew up, where our house is and she was caught in the line of fire. i just don't want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. i want them to know that we put them first. >> sean: now, abc had an article and there were a few words taken output it up on the screen because they did print it. she was standing up in the park with her friends blocks away from the park where my kids, some kids had some automatic weapon they didn't need and i just didn't want to keep disappointing kids in this country. i want them to know that we put them first. >> they rescued the first lady. because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn't need, they rescued the first lady because she-- they didn't want her to be part of this chicago black on black gun violence and they

didn't want her to be-- >> that's how bad the media is now, they're actually in doing savior work. >> is there another explanation? you take that key expression out, you're editing out something that the first lady said and you are rescuing her. >> sean: abc said it was for time, do you buy that they he needed to edit it for time. >> well, i think a he key distinction is the automatic weapon versus a handgun because that's the legislation they're out trying to push. i don't think it necessarily helps -- if let's say abc thought they were helping or rescuing the first lady it actually doesn't work that way in the age of transcripts and everybody being able to see everything because it comes-- it boomerangs and makes the media look bad. >>, but it happens time after time after time and they're not really called on it and most people don't realize what the general media is doing. >> if you had substituted karl rove or an energy staffer for

this ofa story, organizing for action, if bush had done that, the media in particular would have gone crazy. you just think of the energy task force that vice-president cheney put together, that went all the way to the supreme court. >> if george bush was using drones, they would have gone ballistic. >> he did use drones, but not to the extent-- >> when you think of their position of enhanced interrogation and how vicious they went after bush, if he had that hypocrisy they would have gone after him, i should clarify. the elites will always let you down. >> sean: thank you, stuart bond, welcome. log on to your special companion site at and itty live and you can follow the live show, we want you to share your thoughts on the pending sequestration, to go show go to hannity.live@foxnews.com. >> he's not adam smith and--

he is very social and getting borderline --. >> sean: the president of the national black chamber of commerce joins me to excomplain why he's accusing the administration's policies of borderline communist in nature. air not going to want to miss that as "hannity" returns. they used centrum silver for the study... so i guess my wife was right. [ male announcer ] centrum. always your most complete.

>> ab and welcome back to "hannity," he was once a supporter of president obama be, but not amenymore. weeks after a press conference on gun control our friends over at the daily caller caught up with harry alfred president and ceo of the national black chamber of commerce and asked what he thought about president obama's policies. >> he doesn't have a clue. he's never had a business. he's never had a real job. he doesn't understand how it all works.

he's just -- as you know, i don't really support him too well and he knows it. and that's the badge honor. he's bad and i supported him, i voted for him first time around i had hoped because he is black, shame on me, he is not adam smith, he does not believe in capitalism the way america our founding fathers did it. he is very social and it's getting borderline communist. >> sean: joining me now and welcome back. >> thanks, sean, nice to be back. >> sean: we had discussion and fireworks in the beginning of the program. let me ask you, you said something that caught my attention, before we get to obama, i voted for him the first time around i had hoped because he was black, shame on me. what did you mean by that,

sir? >> it -- we were in such hopes that finally, that black leader came around and that he was tall and handsome and could speak so eloquently and he was going to lead us and take us to a new level. we were kind of blinded by that, we being the african-american community basically and many of us, hispanics and others, it didn't turn out that way. you know? it's like the old roberta flack song "killing me softly" wins me over and sweet talks to to my death if we don't watch it. >> sean: i like the song, but i don't like the way this has turned out. the president has been scaring people demagoguing about the economy. here is my fear we've got 50 million americans on food stamps, one in six in poverty, 6 trillion in new obama debt and now the economy is contracting. what has he done wrong? 'cause he said he would fix all this. >> he hasn't done anything to

fix it, he's been ignoring it. he's spending, spending, spending. that's the problem, spending. he wants a tax, tax, tax. yet the irony of it is, you know, he dogs successful people, he says they're bad. rich is evil, but yet, he's courting on his knees to rich to come and give him some money so that he can use it for whatever reason, i don't know. he's turned-- i don't know what he's planning for us. >> sean: when you look at demographics and probably we spend too much time breaking things down demographically, we're all americans. you look at the african-american community voted for him 95 plus percent, huge numbers. when you look at breakdown demographics, it's the young people in this country that voted for him in a majority of numbers. african-americans minorities that seemed to be hurt the most by his policies. >> absolutely. >> sean: why then would they vote for him? >> and they even know it,

naacp admitted it on meet the press. we know this misery and something like we've got a bad guy in the family, but protect him because he's family. we've got to wake up, slap ourselves and wake up. this is america and everybody's involved in in and if our children are hurting, it's our responsibility to find someone who understands that pain, feels it like bill clinton would say. this guy doesn't feel it. he said he --. >> sean: go ahead. finish your thoughts. >> in fact he issues a lot of that pain with a smile. >> sean: and you said he's not adam smith doesn't believe in capitalism the way our founders did and he's very social and becoming borderline communist. >> i said it and to my advisors and including my wife, i should never say that, but-- >> why? why do you believe it? >> well, it's so anti-capitalistic, this distribution of wealth, that to me, that says it all. he wants to redistribute

wealth, take money that was honestly earned and taxed by people who struggled and suffered and did and paid the price to win that money? or at least keep it. he wants to take it from them, give it to people who don't have to do a thing. it's the will of the state to oversee everyone and for the unions to control the employees and for the ceo's just to sit and be quiet while he we take all we can and then tax the rest. >> sean: to each, according to his knees, and to each according to his ability. and the people working in new york and california paying over 60 cents of every dollar to the government. state, local federal government et cetera. you also said he doesn't have a clue he's never had a business, he's never had a real job. why don't you think that the media in this country paid attention to the fact? i still don't know what a community organizer is, maybe you can help me out.
