some spiritual discipline, so, here is the tip of the day. take at least one hour a week, do something theological, positive. all right? you'll be a the better person for it. factor tip of the day. and i hope that wasn't a boring sermon. that's it for us tonight. please check out the fox news factor website different from bill o'reilly.com and talking points are important tonight you'll hear a lot about our debate with colmes and see what i put forth out there and also if you want to spout out, name and address if you wish to opine, and the word of the day, congratulations to noah stalling, the first person to get yesterday's word of the day, hockering meaning scorned. he gets a signed copy. and i'm bill o'reilly, please remember, the spin stops here and we're definitely looking out for you. ♪

>> and this is a fox news alert. venezuelan president hugo chavez is dead after a two year battle with cancer. he was 58 years old. now, the news coming just a few short hours ago from the troubled south american nation's vice-president. chavez's death ends a 14-year reign by the socialist who spent more than a decade placing the state's institutions under his personal control. i can almost smell the sulfur from his death. i'll explain what that means later in the show. meanwhile, tonight, president panic's doomsday sequester narrative is unravelling faster than we can keep up. now, brack nostradamus obama predicted apocalypse and now his unfulfilled prove if is has his administration doing what they do best, lie to you, the american people. and let's begin with janet

sherlock napolitano dispatched to spin a tall tale of lines in our nation's airports. >> we are already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry, the big airports, for example, some of those had very long lines this weekend. sequestration is like a rolling stone. it keeps picking up speed as it goes downhill. we could see a lot of missed connections and average customs could increase by a significant percentage. we will not be able to pay tsa workers overtime. i'm not trying to alarm you, it's just doing the math. >> sean: take a look at video from laguardia airport yesterday, does that look like long lines and massive delays? i've been there a lot in my life, not quite. airports across the country reported, well, business as usual, no increased wait time and look at this airport flight tracker. oddly enough all of them say,

on time. for worries about the tsa employees and their welfare, accord to go one report on the eve of these cuts, the agency sealed a 50 million dollars deal to purchase new uniforms for its agents. at least they'll look good when they're wanding you and patting you down. then there's this, seems talks about layoffs and furloughs may also be exaggerated because according to the washington times, by monday, 6 p.m., the first business day following the sequester, our federal government, guess what? they posted 400 brand new job listings. and shockingly, were able to find at least one victim of the sequester, although i'm not expect sure if this is entirely legitimate. now, it's the white house, the place that michelle obama labeled herself, the people's house is now closed to the public for tours. now, listen to the automated message on the white house visitors hotline. >> thank you for calling the white house visitors office, 24 hour information line. due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration we regret to inform that white house tours will be canceled effective saturday, march 9th,

2013. we very much regret having to take this action particularly during the the popular spring touring season. >> sean: so the question is, is this a political maneuver? several lawmakers are already hitting back calling this petty, childish and are stunned and politically motivated. and a bush advisor, mary matalin is back and kirsten powers, kirsten, i know one way to get into the white house if you're one of the big donors of $500,000 or more, you get to go to quarterly meetings at the white house. >> jay carney says that's not true, sean. >> sean: who says, jay carney? >> yeah. >> sean: you mean the same guy that called bob woodward a liar, that guy? >> yeah, that's the one. >> sean: oh, just checking. >> i'm just reporting the news. >> sean: oh, just reporting-- okay, and mary, welcome back, good to see you. >> hello, sean, hello kirsten, and happy lenten season. >> sean: explain this, we

can't cut 40 billion dollars this year without predictions that children will starve they won't get immunizations, tsa, doom, gloom, apocalypse? i think the president has kind of been exposed, nothing happened. >> the audacity of mendacity. on the presumptive ignorance of the american people. they know it's not a cut, they know it's a reduction in the rate of growth. we're going to balance the budget by spending our money and denies empirical data. when you cut your spending, you grow your government and this debt is the not only burdening our children today, it's crowding out private investment, reducing capital formation and means lesser real wages, lower real wages and fewer jobs of people out there are -- people in the real world get that. it's so -- the presumption

that america is so ignorant. can i say one thing, as you know, kirsten knows this, too, you worked in the white house, those tours are done by volunteers, it's another audacious piece of mendacity. >> sean: you know, i think the strategy is what "the washington post" and the wall street journal pointing out, this is about 2014. this president thinks that nancy pelosi speaker, he gets everything he wants. he wants to fight the one big battle. am i wrong? >> look, i do find this pretty despicable and thinking exactly what mary thought, remembering back when i worked there and i'm pretty sure they're done by volunteers and also, employees can do it. i used to do tours all the time. people can chip in if it was necessary. the idea that people are coming here for spring break and people plan these, months, times years in advance and the white house is shoutting the doors for them to win a political battle? the whole sequester thing has

nothing do with the deficit or debt because it's not going to touch it. so it's a political game and no reason for him to exaggerate what's going on and to talk about the cbo said and 700,000 jobs will probably be lost because of that. no need to make up stories about janitors and turn away honest, hard working americans that come to the white house on a tour. >> sean: the president often uses props, he's used first responders, children, the republicans, dirty wart, elderly people fend for themselves. and says in in debate in the sequestration, what do you want to cut. poor children or the disabled children? here is what he said. >> 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? >> the disabled kids or the poor kids. how about this? i would rather cut mohammed morsi, the muslim brotherhood 9/11 truther he, the guy who refers to the israelis as descendents of apes and pigs and how about we don't give him 15.5-- 1.5 billion. >> foreign aid is-- >> i don't want to give it to morsi, i want the children not to suffer. >> i think there are arguments in favor even if morsi is a terrible person of giving aid to egypt to maintain some sort of level of influence there. it's a bribe, not aid a bribe. >> sean: and choose to give money to the muslim

brotherhood or to the children. i would give to the children. >> and the presumptive that we, that the president of the united states, the commander-in-chief would choose not to cut nonessential positions, there are 400 job postings over canceling an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf or to releasing illegal immigrants. are we that stupid or is he that irresponsible? >> he's a demagogue which i think is the answer. i think he's been demagoguing from day one, kirsten, tell me where i'm wrong. >> in this situation he's demagoguing, almost wanting something to go wrong so he can point the fingers and you have napolitano talking about tsa agents, oh, well, if there's a terrorist attack it's the sequester? i don't know. >> sean: mary welcome back, glad you're off -- you disappeared for years and nobody saw you. >> no, i never disappeared. i missed you, i love you, glad

to be back. >> sean: good to see you and kirsten always good to see you. still ahead, governor john sununu, rand paul is here and more, but first-- >> it is almost a false argument to say we had the spending problem. >> sean: i'm going to layout two very clear reasons why nancy pelosi and other democrats are flat-out wrong and lying and i'll also ask former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee. we have a classic "hannity" shoutout. and an obama aide accused of calling a reporter some of the most vile words of the english language. what makes matters worse, the mainstream media is helping to cover it up. we'll expose it here on "hannity." this day calls you.

>> 85 billion dollars, the amount that we are saying we need to reduce in spending this year is the amount that we borrow in a single month. think about that, 85 billion dollars is the amount that the federal government borrows every 28 days. >> sean: that was senator john thune putting this false sequester apocalypse into perspective. now, that statistic highlights what conservatives have been saying the moment this president got his hands on the federal checkbook. we have a spending problem. need more proof. now in the month of february alone, the debt more than 44 billion dollars the cbo y be cut as a result of the sequestration.

still not convinced? that spending and not revenue is the problem? well, perhaps the president should listen to the cbo when he starts coming after the so-called rich for more money because according to them, tax revenue's flowing and flowing to the record tune of 2.7 trillion dollars just for 2013 alone. here with reaction to what can only be diagnosed as obama's spending problem is the former chairman council of economic advisors, austan goolsbee, professor at chicago's boone school of business, how are you, sir. >> sean, you people are getting upset, they don't want you having me on the show anymore, i've been reading the twitter feed. >> sean: it's important that we put the opposition on, i'm not afraid of a good, healthy debate. can you answer, when the senate -- constitution requires the senate do a budget every four years. >> they have a budget, they didn't have a stand alone budget. they're passing this

continuing, whatever the budget was last year, they just continue it to the next year. >> sean: so they haven't done a real budget and haven't put it on paper, given the american people-- >> the president's been proposing a budget. what they keep passing is continue what last year's budget was. i mean, it's kind of surprising to come from you, sean, because this is like -- this has been the constitutional version of the old why are you punching yourself game. where they filibuster the president's budget and then say, why have you not based a budget. >> sean: the house passed a budget and obama beats him up and you want to hurt poor children or you want to hurt disabled children? that's what he keeps saying and do you agree with me-- >> and proves you can do both. >> sean: and washington has a spending problem. simple question. >> yes, entitlement spending is going to trend way up as we get older, no question about that. i think we agree on that. >> sean: okay, then let me play for you prominent

democrats. you tell me why they don't agree with you. listen to this. >> we're so rich, why are we so broke? >> is it a spending problem? >> no. >> does the country have a spending problem? >> does the country have a spending problem? >> yeah. >> the country has a paying for problem. we haven't paid for what we've bought. we haven't paid for our tax cuts. >> so it is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. we have a budget deficit problem that we have to address. >> we don't have a spending problem, we have a paying for problem. why is that? every american watching you right now, austan, they pay their bills or they end up in bankruptcy court. this government prints money and the fed bails them out. >> no, no. >> sean: yeah, yeah. >> let's not mix-up a whole bunch of things. you've quoted a bunch of people and quoted what they said, they didn't agree with me. you know the spending problem facing the country is not a discretionary spending problem, it's not a foreign aid spending problem or that kind of thing. the root of our fiscal problem

is, the country's getting older. we've got to pay for social security and medicare. if you want-- >> that's not been the problem. that's not-- austan that is-- >> yes, it is true. >> sean: this president-- >> congressional budget office report you cited sean, showed that. >> sean: he cut the deficit in half the first term, he failed. he said he'd create jobs-- >> you're right, it's going to take him eight extra months to do it. >> sean: eight extra months to do it. >> the congressional budget office says he's going to do it. cut the deficit from what he inherited from bush. >> sean: that maybe it will happen in the year 2525, if we're still alive. >> it was 1.3 trillion projected when he came in and it's going to be cut in half this next year. >> sean: all right. the point is very, very simple for me. you know, there's an interesting piece, dow jones high on steroids. we look at really what our unfunded liabilities are, about 211 billion dollars, but we haven't begun to hit that area, but this president is increased spending across the board, 20%.

so. >> now, wait a minute. >> sean: hang on a second. >> wait a minute. >> sean: actual spending dollars has gone up close to 20% across the board under obama. increased-- >> were you aware that spending is being cut the fastest it's ever been cut in the country right now, right? >> no, no, see you. >> yeah, that's in that congressional budget. >> sean: the washington calculator. cutting or reducing a projected increase is not a cut. that's not a real cut. >> i agree with that. >> sean: okay. so-- >> that's not what's happening. over the last 18 months spending as a share of the economy has come down the fastest ever that we've had on record or at least in the last 50 years that we've had on record. u.s. debt as a percentage of the gdp is now 74.2%. excuse me, when the president took office, it was close to 38%. >> i agree we had the worst down turn of our lifetime, sean. of course, tax revenue goes

down. >> sean: and spending goes up and-- it's bush's fault, go ahead, say it. >> you keep saying it's bush's fault. i don't say it's bush's fault. i said it was a recession, you added the bush part. >> sean: and here, after obama doubles the debt and accumulates more debt than every president before him, fewer americans working, the american economy in a shambles, he will go down as the worst economic president in american history. that's my prediction. >> i would bet you a steak dinner, but you reneged on the last steak dinner. i want you to come out here and we're going to watch a cubs game. >> sean: do i have to sit next to you. >> yes, right next to me and you have to smile and wave. >> sean: i hope you have good seats not going to put me upstairs, and down in the good

seats. >> you know i do not have good seats. >> sean: thank you for being with us. liberal news anchor brian williams says he's profoundly disappointed in america. guess what brian? we're disappointed in you. on "hannity" we expose the mainstream media helped in coverups and follows a reporter and obama aide with some incredibly threatening language and john sununu is here, and kicks the door at targeting u.s. citizens for assassination here on american soil? senator rand paul will explosively detail this disturbing development right here on "hannity" straight ahead. to go to the bathroom, there's dulcolax stool softener. dulcolax stool softener doesn't make you go, it just makes it easier to go. dulcolax stool softener. make yourself comfortable.

>> on this very problem program we've exposed the media bias and brian williams anchor reveals how he feels about this country and chatting with his buddy left wing hollywood father of the year alec baldwin on the i'm sure highly rated pod cast. here is what he said. >> although loud personalities with extreme views gobble up more air time, television news is an industry that rewards unbiased thoughtful and direct reporting. my work has been so cleansed

as i've seen it of political opinions and-- how do you do it. >> sean: you have political opinions? >> i sometimes don't know. i have the same disappointments in my patriotism as a great man once said, i yield to no one. i love this country. i love the american idea. i have profound disappointments in my country. i feel we ought to be in space. i feel the dismantling of the manned space program-- >> why should we be in space. >> because it meant so much to us? >> you mean just symbolically? >> no, and there are more advances to be made there, you felt? >> i sometimes think that post-war america, post-vietnam america has kind of become exhausted and i have another theory that the growth of self, all things self has taken away our spirit of community, we can do this cohesion. >> sacrifice. >> americanness. >> oh, let me see, this is the

state-run media of let's see david axelrod, robert gibbs, propaganda and ed schultz let's rip dick cheney's heart out and stomp on it it and back in him and thrill up our leg, chris mathews. guess what, the rest of the country appears to be disappointed in you. a rasmussen poll, only 6% of the america feels the media trustworthy and the fact that you and your liberal mainstream media cohorts who work on your liberal networks how the administration, for example, bullies the press. according to the new york post, a veteran journalist, jonathan alter, a liberal i had a young reporter asking tough important questions of an obama cabinet secretary, she was doing her job and they tried to bully her and in the e-mail they called her the vilest of names, the b-word,

the c-word and we can't put up on the screen and the reporter claimed and told it would be investigating. they were hemming and hawing and said we'll look into it. nothing happened. pretty unreal and john sununu, even congress has a better rating on the media, how are you. >> have you heard two more image preening, pretentious conversation coming from two people in the media than what you just heard there. >> sean: i cleanse myself of-- >> talk about guys who are talking with-- with a swelled head. >> it proves that just because there's a pretty face and a smooth voice, there's not anything that -- not necessarily anything behind that in terms of thoughtful, real understanding of what's going on in this country today. >> sean: i was actually fairly impressed with tom brokaw the other day, a rare comment made by somebody in the media about obama and his antics.

but let me ask you, because ann romney mentioned in the interview with mitt romney the other day, that she does blame the media, you were actively involved in that campaign. how bad was the media in terms of covering the campaign? >> well, look, and the republican party started with a horrible mistake. they let -- they let williams and stephanopoulos and david gregory moderate their primary debates. i think that was a huge mistake and a lot of the influence of the media started with the biased questions that came out of that. williams himself had this holier than thou question that he threw at governor perry, did he always-- was he always able to sleep at night because of texas' death penalty situation. talk about a pretentious moderator, but we had that all through the campaign and they aided and abetted obama's

distortion of reality, that unemployment wasn't that important, that the country was getting better, that the kind of garbage you got from goolsbee earlier, pretending that obama hasn't increased spending by 20%. goolsbee uses the disingenuous comment that the spending this year versus last year, gdp maybe lower, he's trying to pat himself on the back with that and the media aids and abets that. you know, they never vetted this president in 2007 and 8. i mean, i don't know how any republican could be friends with bill ayers and only get one question, only one in the course of an entire year and a half campaign and they ever a follow-up for the lie that he told in relation to that question. i don't know how he never got called out on, he said the cut the deficit in half. gave us 6 trillion in debt. basic simple questions, they don't want to do their job. how does democracy function now?

>> sean, you don't have to go back. look at what's happening now. this president has a lot more flexibility under budget authority than he is pretending he has. and he refused to accept a flex-- an added flexibility when the republicans house offered to send him legislation like that. the people that should be ticked off now are the ts agents, for example, whose unemployment is being cut unnecessarily. this president is taking money out of their pocket. the people that really should be ticked off are all the government employees whose work time is being cut back by an administration that doesn't have to cut it back. but he's using this sequester to create political points and questions. and these poor people lose some of their money. >> sean: and i think that for democracy to survive and thi thrive, we need a vigilent media. we have a thrill up our leg,

ass-kissing, lap-dog media. how can it be when people can't get fair information? that seems hard to me. >> it's part of a three-stage problem we have in this country. k through 12, the can you understand are being taught by a lot of teachers who lean liberal and are feeding them an extremely liberal line. they go to college and the academic community is all the way over to the left. and the press, i think eight years ago, there was a poll and 93% of the press admitted they voted democratic. i bet it was even higher in the 2012 election. so, those are the three problems in the country and we've got to figure out if those that care about the traditional way na this country was able to create the american dream, we've got to figure out how to get our message in a package that begins to offset this. but it's an awfully tough battle when you've got the

brian williams of the world who tell the public they're neutral he when they're leaning so far left. this is coming from a guy-- >> but he's been cleansed. work that has nsed. been caught at least three times with major doctoring of videos and has been caught not only with a bias, but with a distortion. and this guy sits there pretending that things like that don't happen in his news program or his network. >> sean: all right. john sununu, governor. thank you for being with us. and next, "hannity" investigation and an unprecedented move. the attorney general of the united states refused to rule out targeting american citizens on american soil for assassination using drones. now, that declaration was made in a letter to senator rand paul. the senator is not happy and he's here next with an exclusive interview on how he plans to respond, the very people that were against enhanced interrogation. don't forget we want to hear

position on how unmanned drones could be used to target americans. well, today he finally got his response in a letter sent by u.s. attorney general eric holder, who's america's top cop. he explains, quote, it is possible, i suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the constitution and applicable laws of the united states for the president to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the united states. in other words, yes. president barack obama has the ability to order the assassination of an american citizen on american soil? pretty incredible. joining me now with reaction is none other than kentucky senator rand paul. so, the president has the power to authorize lethal force, a drone strike against the u.s. citizen on u.s. soil without a trial? >> this is the same people that want today give miranda rights to enemy combatants and constitutional rights to enemy combatants?

>> well, you know, i find it particularly disturbing. in fact, one of the things i actually admired about the president when he ran for office was that he believed that we should have warrants before we-- that we should have some due process, so he wants a warrant to tap your phone, but no judicial oversight to kill an american. and i think what's important about this, listen to what his response is. his response is, we haven't killed any americans yet. we don't intend to, but we might. and that's pretty disturbing. and the thing about the drone strike program is, we're not talking about someone's actively attacking america, we're not talking about planes flying into the world trade center. what we're talking about is you're eating dinner in your house. you're eating at a cafe or you're walking down the road. that's when these drone strikes can occur. it's not about people involved in combat, it's about people who they think might be. and if you're an american and you're accused of a crime, one of the basic principles, one of the protections we've

always had is, you get a trial. that's an accusation. you don't get convicted without a trial. >> sean: well, there's been past instances where the issue of military force against american citizens on u.s. soil have been brought up as relates to the randy weaver case was one, and the case of the branch davidians was another case. don't we have laws preventing that from happening? >> yeah, after the civil war we passed a law, saying that the military does not act in the u.s. even if there's an active ongoing threat of someone, it's usually the fbi or the police and the main purpose for this was that they didn't want the military to act where police act differently. even in the middle of the night here in washington d.c., if someone is accused of rape, you call a judge. so, it's not the police making the decision, it's the police in conjunction with a judge, getting a warrant. but now we're talking about one step further. we're not talking about searching someone's house, we're talking about actually

an execution or killing of an american on our soil and i cannot believe that they can't answer this question. they're saying basically, yes, they-- >> and this is a lot different than law enforcement would have the right to kill somebody if their lives were threaten. >> nobody's questioning that, but that's not what we're talking about here and that's not what they're saying. and let me show -- i want you to deal with the hypocrisy of all of this, senator, if i can for a minute because i want you to -- for all the people now that are silent, the silence is deafening from the license to kill thing. what are they saying against water-boarding and calling it torture? let's listen to the president and some high profile democrats, what they had to say back again. >> under my administration, the united states does not torture. my administration is going to operate in a way that leaves no doubt that we do not torture, that we abide by the

geneva conventions. waterboarding is torture, it's contrary to america's traditions. it's contrary to our ideals. that's not who we are. that's not how we operate and anybody who has actually read about and understands the practice of waterboarding would say that that is torture and that's not something we do, period. >> there is no appropriate torture, period. we've been arguing that for long time. may have been arguing to allow to torture. and the first time in history the president of the united states said we ought to be able to torture and argue for a loophole to allow them do that. now the president of the united states says not allowed to torture. were you ever mr. vice-president envision where waterboarding would be used on anyone? >> no, no. >> not effective. >> it's not effective? >> correct, it's not

effective. >> sean: well, bin laden number one. and so we can't have enhanced interrogation and there were people screaming this every day, but they would authorize lethal force and drone strikes against u.s. citizens on our soil, without a trial, without due process? >> well, you know what i would say? there's an enormous amount of hypocrisy coming from president obama and his administration, but i do want to give credit to some of those on the left who have been consistent, even with the democrat president. senator widen helped me to get the information, and he's on the intelligence committee and he stood up and said, i don't care whether it's a democrat or a republican president, this is about authority and the president should not have the authority to do kills on americans on american soil without a trial. so there have been some good guys and they deserve the credit as well. because i couldn't have gotten any answer. the president was refusing to answer me, but with the senator on the left and senator chambliss on the right, they were able to get this information, unfortunately we got the wrong

answer, but i did finally get an answer that basically says the president's not intending to, but he might. >> sean: he we can't use waterboarding, we'll apologize around the world, but we may drone strike you. it may take you out, no trial, no due process. pretty frightening. and the left, their silence for the most part is deafening. senator, great work. good to see you. >> thank you. >> sean: and up next tonight. >> and chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you. >> sean: a democratic state senator in colorado lectures a rape victim and even claims that the assault couldn't have been prevented even if she was armed. we're going to play this outrageous exchange when we return. and then it's the controversial gun rights ad that links the second amendment assault jim crow, this is one video that will have a lot of people talking about it tonight, you'll see it here on "hannity" straight ahead. and a choice.
