joining me now with reaction is bob wood ward. welcome back to the program. >> thank you. thank you. >> let's start at the beginning. tell us about the conversation. >> yes. >> yes. i mean it was the half hour in

which he was shouting at me. now, i've known him 20 years. i e mailed back i don't worry about shouts but it was reall really... worked up. and then, he sent me that e mail apologizing and you know say being i'm going to refwret taking this stand. you know, we're talking about here is not a fact. he's not arguing with facts because beforehand he said we're just not going to see eye to eye on this. it's an interpretation. he didn't like being challengedthon. but, you know, people have said well, this was a threat or i was saying it was a threat. i haven't use that had language but it's not the way to operate. in a white house. it's not -- it's as you know when someone says you're going to regret something particularly someone in a position of power like james

furlly he's not just a guy in the white house. he's the economic czar for the president. he had the same job for bill clinton. when you say you're going to regret challenging us, i just think that that is a mistake. if you go into the history and what other people are saying about the obama white house one piece, he refused to talk to someone because of the language he gets from the person is belligerent. >> do you feel that has been a pattern for you? do you feel that it was a threat when he wrote the word "you'll regret this". >> what happened here, i wrote a piece sunday in washington post on op-ed page.

they caught caught about the father of the sequester. and they, for two, three months deny that had to j carney's credit he said look, yes. the idea originated here. it's not only about who originate bud think about what this is. it's one of the most irresponsible ideas. republicans signed up for this. but you look at the details of this and just the way it came about. it's you and i sitting down and saying what are the things you love? let's pass a law cutting those things to ribbons and then, let's take things i love and put that in the law. we'll cut those two ribbons. that is a sequester, it's one

of the things now being debated you know? what is the impact going to be? we don't know. but they got caught. so this is an old trick. make the conduct of the press the issue rather than their conduct. by the way i'm dealing with the liberal media. i've got a lot of this over the course of my career, bob. so a lot of your colleagues, i noticed have turned on you. let me this, is important. i read your book cover to cover and have referred to it a number of times and in many ways it's a blow to president obama. it reveals he lied about it in the debate with mitt rom nee. you expose that and the idea of moving the goalpost and tax increases associated with

this, do you think the president lied?. >> look. i'm not going to use words like that. i mean, that -- i mean, out in the great public which is more important than those of us in washington to say least they're wondering what the hell is going on here? these people cannot talk to each other and can't make arrangements to protect national security. i mean, it is -- i'm -- i thought about this a little bit, the biggest story in washington now is the town itself. >> i agree. >> how crazed this has become and... how, you know, who knows where this goes. >> what are we to say about it? you're standing by your reporting. >> of course. >> it's not.

>> but you're saying it's obama's idea. he said it was not. you're saying he's not telling the truth in other words using whatever words you want and that you didn't move the goalpost. j kareny said you were willfully wrong. sounds to me like he's accusing you of lying. >> i spent two months reporting on how they came to this sequester. how the super committee worked. white house was really not involved in this. they monitored it. i spent a long time. a producer from "60 minutes" called and said we understand when i was working on the price of politics you're doing a book about the super kmee. i said no. just a part. he said everyone says you have notes and talk to people. it's best as anyone can, i have the story of what

happened here. and it came from the obama white house. it's something designed to go into effect, god help us it is not the spark that sends the economy down. that, you know because it is, i mean the people and business, the people in politics, people outside of washington are dumb founded and bewildered. >> why should it matter if the president suggested sek quest traigs and the president denies that he requested sek quest traigs. president had a deal he wasn't going to ask for tax increases and then, later does and says that is not true. and then attack you as, well, being willfully wrong. why should this matter? don't we deserve our government to be hon with us?. >> exactly. i'm almost 70 years old. i hate to acknowledge. i've done this for four

decades and will keep doing this in some form but something, the white house saying you're doing these things when you have worked months on it and have documents and j carney acknowledges pa ternity for the sequester from the white house. the problem is that there are reporters who are younger and less experienced if they're going to get roughed up in this way, i am flooded with e mails from people in the press saying this is the whisway the white houseworks they are trying to control. they don't want to be challenged or crossed. >> stay right there. we'll have more on the other side and ann koult jer here as we expose other examples of how the obama white house obstructed the freedom of the press and congressman keith ellison responded to our

heated conversations and takes another shot at me because i questioned his ties to the nation of islam and that means louis farrakhan. we're going to investigate his radical background coming up. with the spark cash card from capital one... boris earns unlimited rewards for his small business. can i get the smith contract, ease? thank you. that's three new paper shredders.

you mentioned your age earlier and i don't think you look a day over 50 just for the the record. you know, this is not your first rodeo. i was talking about this on my radio show earlier today and you're right about young journalists and i think they can be far more intimidated in an incident like this and i don't expect you would be. i am concerned that the media has become almost like the press office, almost an extension of the press office, not critical in any way with president obama. as a conservative, am i wrong? >> let's get in out on the table, because it's boimportant. we live in an era partisanship, let's face it, fox news is a cornerstone of part of that partisanship and there are a group of people, msnbc, a lot of people who support obama who just believe he can do no wrong.

we've got this division and what somebody who's a traditionalist in the reporting, like myself, said, well, let's find out what happens. sometimes it falls this way and sometimes it falls that way. i get calls and e-mails from people telling me i'm insane to come on your show. i say, now, wait a minute, you let me say what i want. you dig into things. you -- there is no bleep out button. >> sean: no. >> and i believe in the first amendment. so, we have got to -- my view, i am-- i suspect it's not yours or roger ailes, we've got to bring this back to the center so we have a reasoned discussion as much as possible. >> sean: i would say this though in defense. i am like the washington post has an opinion page. on i'm the opinion page and

there is opinion programming and objective news reporting and i'll be honest, i'm very proud to work with great reporters here at fox that do dig into issues like fast and furious, our reporting on benghazi, and i won't even argue the fact that the president was never asked a lot about the 6 trillion in debt that he accumulated prior to this election, in this first election wasn't asked about his association with bill ayers was troublesome to me, i think we've got a media that's not as critical as perhaps it once was in, for example, the days of watergate. >> well, i agree with that. we need to be very aggressive and it's one of the judges that said democracies die in darkness and i really think that's true. if we don't know what's going on. if they can erect these barriers. mike mccurry, who was bill clinton's press secretary is quoted the other day, saying this white house does things that i wouldn't even dream of

trying to get away with. so, we are, you know, the barriers have come up. we know less about what goes on. now, on the other hand, i've interviewed clinton for my two -- i'm sorry, obama for my two books, for hours. people answered questions. they were very serious about answering them in detail. that's how i found out where the sequester started. and that's where i found out lots of little maneuvers in all of the budget and fiscal debates that they've had. so, they responded and i think that's really important. the problem i have with the gene sperling memo and e-mail and this comes after a shouting match. now, lots of people shout at me he you know, now that's -- that goes into the code of,

you know, you bet her watch out. >> sean: yeah, i will say -- you said something very profound though, that democracy, i don't think it can survive without a critical press. i think a lot of areas have lost that and there's room for what i do, which is the opinion page, but there's plenty of room for, i think, real hard journalism. thank you for being with us, thanks for coming again on the program. >> thank you. >> sean: and we appreciate it. when we come back, now, the president, he has a history of this disdain for the mainstream media. we're going to expose him with ann coulter. >> so i look forward to our partnering, with that what i want to do is clear out the press so we can take some questions, all right? thank you. >> sean: ann coulter joins me in the the studio to explain their long history of with the press. and he called me immoral and

bob woodward interview much more. this is not the first time the so-called most transparent administration in history has attempted to obstruct the freedom of the press and the white house on his threat. he seems to have inspired several other journalists to do the same and clinton special counsel lanny davis said he also received threats from the white house. >> and a great reporter from the post who tried to make the times into a much stronger newspaper. he received a phone call from a senior obama white house official that didn't like some of my columns. even though i'm a supporter of obama i couldn't imagine why this call was made and he did threaten and what i was told the word threatened by this editor that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose or their reporters would lose the white house credentials. >> sean: an example of arrogance and intimidation on full display.

listen how president obama ended the meeting with the national governors association, this was just earlier this week. >> so i look forward to our partnering and with that what i want to do is clear out the press so we can take some questions, all right? thank you. >> sean: going to ask questions after we get rid of those pesky reporter people. and there you have it from the president's own mouth. here is reaction, author, columnist our friend, ann coulter. i like bob woodward's book, well done, well researched, but ironic that the liberal media has turned on him because he dared to expose a couple of obama lies, what do you make of that? >> i think some of these liberal journalists have become hot house flowers, if they consider this intimidation. give me a break. but i do -- i mean, the important point is making about the sequester and i can't believe you've got me to talk about the sequester i'm so bored with. >> sean: i didn't ask you

about it. >> that's the important point, he's making. i'm going to an end of the world orgy and if it kicks it. >> sean: the my and apocalypse. for the end of ten years, 2.4 trillion instead of 2.5 trillion, that's the sequester. but i think it's a serious point that he is raising about obama's response to the federal budget going up by only 2.4 trillion dollars and that is, i mean, something quite outrageous that obama did this week in response to this, it called the firemen first rule. when voters say to the government, you have to cut spending, they instantly go to the most important and valuable programs, beloved programs and okay, we're going to cut firemen. how about instead of cutting firemen, the art therapy for the homeless, first. >> sean: how about the obama phone program? >> can you get the consultants down and what did they do this week? it's pretty shocking and i

think it's relevant to a lot of things, is to release criminal illegal aliens to be dumping them on the republicans and the conservatives if they're smart will do the foia request and get the names of the illegal aliens released and to come, robberies, burglaries, rapes, murders only for the-- and your little friend marco rubio better be paying attention, his plan of legalization first and then trust the obama administration to secure the border. now what, how do you think that obama is going to do on securing the border now that his first move on the sequester is to release criminals illegal aliens? >> well, and telling the world we can't afford to send an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf. >> right. >> sean: which is really dumb. >> and they're going to cut back on airport security so there will be two hour lines the at the airport. >> sean: let me go back to the original point about woodward here, this is a double blow because he got obama originated the sequester and he got obama lying about it

and moving the goal post using this to raise taxes again when that wasn't part of the deal. those are three huge whoppers. what do they do, they go out and say, woodward is willfully wrong, you've got to regret it, but regardless whether it's a threat or not, it's an intimidating environment and these people get away with lying regularly. >> well, whatever bob woodward's reporting exploits in the past have been, i think you've exposed obama personally on this show, on much bigger lies, over much longer period of time and you are the only editorial page on this network, would i also like to throw that in. for him to compare msnbc with fox is preposterous, you're not watching television. last week rachel maddow edited a video on msnbc of a woman, i don't know, fiance, relative was killed at the aurora shooting and this woman asked mccain about it in the meeting and mccain spends like two minutes saying how sorry he is

or this is terrible and our hearts go out to you, no one knows how you feel, but i'm going to give you straight talks, an assault weapons ban is not-- sm she cuts all of that and goes from the weeping woman to i'm going to give you straight talk. if fox did that, they'd cut the power. >> sean: and is he black, white or hispanic with george zimmerman and cut out-- this is literally state-run media how does democracy survive? and this is not -- this is not -- this is a serious question. if we don't have a critical media that doesn't ask questions about benghazi, doesn't ask about fast and furious, allows him to lie about the debt, the deficit and nobody cares about his association with, you know, a terrorist by the name of bill ayers. >> i think it's a problem. the media today is a threat to

democracy, but the way you prevent more bad things from happening, like our entire health care system being socialized, taken over by the government. that's going to go great. is by having -- keep holding the house of representatives and for one, the republicans ought to start paying attention, passionate, terrific, but scoring is what counts and these candidates who are going to win, we need to look seriously at candidates and not reward people who harm our presidential or other candidates. >> sean: one last thing. >> and also, they have to -- i mean, they have to look seriously at him releasing illegal alien criminals. >> sean: i agree. >> and saying he's not going to enforce the border. >> sean: he hasn't done it for the-- how about rubio's amnesty plan. it's know the dead in the water. isn't it time for marco to come back and say? >> fox got attacked by anita dunn, dead fish, david

axelrod, the guy i'm going to punch out the media guy in colorado. this is a bad group and finally waking up to it, not attack fox-- >> i'm a conservative and i've had democrats take out private detectives on my private life. these liberal journalists are hot house flowers. >> sean: thank you for being here. >> good to be here. >> sean: and the handling of the sequester, when we come back, a "hannity" investigation into congressman keith ellison and his ties to the nation of islam and its anti-semetic leader and racist leader louis farrakhan and kalid abdul mohammed. the congressman answered our question, but not answering the question. we want you to participate, log on to hannity live to follow the show we want your [ engine revving ]

>> not since congressman keith ellison's epic meltdown on "hannity" two nights ago we decide today take a closer look at the man who called me immoral and a liar and his past radical connections primarily to louis farrakhan and nation of islam. he admitted to a 18 month involvement with the group in the million man march. according to the st. paul pioneer press ellison's link to farrakhan goes back further, dates back to his time as a law student in minnesota in the late '80s, early '90s, my math might not be great, but early '90s to '95 is not exactly 18 months. and kalid abdul mohammed...

the first one he defended the minister against racism. and that means planned social, economic and political subjugation of whites, it it cannot be intelligently argued that the nation of islam is doing that. and from it radio, my recollections keith are that of a person who was very much in support of the nation of islam and their message they tried to convey to the community. and the congressman not only associated with these radicals and spent years spewing their hateful rhetoric. and when we reached out to congressman ellison, he responded tonight with an attack on yours truly and the statement read, tomorrow a set of devastating cuts will hit every american costing 750,000 jobs over the course of the

year if congress does not act. the seriousness of these cuts was the subject and context of my spirited exchange with sean hannity on tuesday night. americans deserves journalists who provide objective and responsible reporting instead sean hannity is bringing up my religion and making personal attacks, this is sad, can we get back to what's best for the american people now. just like the other night, congressman ellison refused to answer our question. i wasn't asking about his religion, i was asking about his past association with louis farrakhan, khalid mohammed and the coalition. and here is a fox news contributor, i didn't ask about his religion, i didn't ask one question about it. >> we heard it. he was a left wing radical. he had no intention of debating on the issues of the day that people are concerned about which was the sequestration, our debt and deficit. he's going to attack because

that's what the left does, the chicago style machine for anyone that they oppose, they don't want to hear the other side of the argument. we all agree that a farrakhan is a racist and an anti-sem might, you agree? and here khalid mohammed not only calling jews the blood suckers of the nation, he said kill the women, kill the children, kill the old people, kill the babies, he used a slur for gay people, cu kill th all. >> we have to realize that the so-called nation has been enduring, whacky, unhinged and the likes of keith ellison, louis farrakhan, reverend jeremiah wright, it goes on and on and on. now, the point here is that their nation has become

rationalized and radicalized. and keith ellison, i watched the interview you tried to have with him. he wasn't concerned about answering any of your questions. >> sean: oh, no. >> he came on this station to do two things, one to defend the black messiah, calls our lord and savior, barack obama, and to make brownie points, and what they call themselves progressives, meaning that they had declared war on the republican party and they declared war on fox news channel, which they see as an exallry of-- >> this is really serious inasmuch as farrakhan, one. most divisive figures in our culture, rabid anti-semmite racist, khalid mohammed, kill the women, everything in sight, kill the babies, the children. >> don't forget, the congressional black caucus, the entire congressional black caucus led then by fumemay

made a calf nant with louis farrakhan. >> sean: remind me, how has he gone this far without the scrutiny that we're right now-- >> how has he gotten this it far. that's concerning, even though he wrote this letter-- >> obama or keith? >> it doesn't erase what we know about this guy. i think it's telling how we're able to put people in these positions where in fact, it's not good for our country and considering the fact how he came out against you the other day, i mean, that just tells me where he really stands and again, he did not want to debate you whatsoever. >> sean: and listen, i'm gave him enough-- wanted to question him about the morality of the debt and deficit. what is the difference, i mean, do we have somebody then in congress that is the ekw

equivalent of what the klan is. i view the rabid rantings of kalid as frightening. in terms of racism, anti-sem tigs, not hook-nose, bagel eating so-called jews, farrakhan's newspaper says the god that teaches me, teaches me the white man is the skunk of the planet earth. >> look, kalid abdul mohammed is dead, debated him for three hours, louis farrakhan still lives and we have to understand that louis farrakhan has been for a long time. the black racism and anti-semitism, embraced by, endorsed by, given awards by the black leadership tier and they see them as the only black man in america, but for

barack obama, the only black american to bring a million men to washington d.c. i was the only so-called black intellectual leader to opposed louis farrakhan's million man march. racist and sexist, and not one black leader has opposed louis farrakhan. >> you know, considering the importance of, especially the black community having positive role models and positive leadership, we are not really seeing that today. especially on the national level. and you look the at the high unemployment, unemployment of the teens, black teens, 40, 50%. >> sean: yeah. >> what are our kohl tigses doing trying to fix the situation? they're not. thr he' politicians because they're in it it for themselves. they're the not doing anything for the black community. >> it's because the black community has been radicalized

and sending them back because of skin color. and they're not doing anything-- >> and i have to-- even for a sadder level you two are going to be called out for being-- the i found these people insufferable, i'll take the attack. >> sean: thank you both, appreciate it. coming up next with the sequester deadline closer than ever, the president was in hiding today, big shock. juan williams, michael reagan juan williams, michael reagan square off on the absurd lack living with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis

means living with pain. it could also mean living with joint damage. humira, adalimum, can help treat more than just the pain. for many adults, humira is clinically proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection ask your rheumatologist about humira, to help relieve your pain and stop further joint damag

>> and as we inch our way closer to the sequester deadline where is our fearless leader? where is president obama? he's not on capitol hill trying to hammer out a 11th hour solution to the so-called nightmare, my and apocalypse. and he had zero events for today. and president panic was behind closed doors along with the vice-president crazy joe biden. and juan williams and michael reagan. the president here, almost such, almost spending exactly what we spent last year, but if you listen to president panic, he wants to scare the living hell out of the

american people, inflict as much harm as possible to make his political point. tsa, kids won't have immunizatio immunizations, you want to hurt poor children, or hurt the kids in poverty he actually said that. i just for the life of me, if we can't make this cut, we can't survive as a country. >> well, i disagree. i think that, you know, most americans, we had a fox poll today 45% of americans think that this sequester is negative and going to have negative consequences for our overall economy. i mean, the way that you describe it, sean, you'd say you know what? there's no difference between our responsibilities last year and this year, but you know what? we're growing, we're a growing country, we want the economy to grow. we have more-- >> the economy is not growing after four years, it's contracting. >> what's that. >> sean: the economy is not growing. >> the economy is growing, but slowly. >> sean: okay. contracted the last quarter. unless you believe the revised

.1% growth. michael. >> .1% growth. you know, what i've been seeing, i tweeted earlier today, sean, it's not government by leadership, it's government by tantrum and satisfi that's what you've got back in washington d.c. you've got governor throwing a tantrum that they'll have 0 live with 2% less. it's interesting, my daughter ashley is living with 2% less this year, a school teacher and at the school in san fernando valley. making $2400 less this year, she's not going on tv griping. she got hit and government hit her when she wasn't expected as did 80% of the country. the country isn't whining, take 2% from the government and they're whining all the way to the bank. >> sean: that's a great point. michael is on to something, because every american, they got a 2% increase in their tax this is year. not talking the 1%. the payroll tax went up 2%. >> right. >> sean: the government can't cut 2% without whining and freaking out like this? >> well, no, you know, i love this analogy.

you think that somehow the federal government, this global, you know, conglomerate. >> sean: monstrosity. >> when michael's daughter had to make cuts, i understand it, but on the terms of the federal government, we want the federal government to stimulate this economy, to get us going to-- because that will answer our tax problem. >> sean: we spent 20% under this guy. >> if i can jump in. we went down this road before. went back in 1978, 1979, 1980. ronald raing p never blamed jimmy carter with went on with jimmy carter with gas lines and food lines. went to work in washington d.c. didn't play the fear factor and be the next host of the fear factor. he went to work, cut spending, cut taxes, within three years the economy was going again and by this point in my father's second term the economy was growing at 7%,
