6:00 pm
huh. thanks for watching. please remember the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. welcome to "hannity." breaking news out of syria. it appears the so-called red line officially crossed by the assad regime. but tonight, washington buzzing over the explosive testimony by robert muller. the nation's top investigator was grilled about his bureau's connection to the many scandals have rocked the obama administration from the nsa spy controversy to the nsa enemies list. nothing off-limits at today's hearings. as usual, covered with all highlights and we begin with one of the most heated exchanges of the day, and it happened when
6:01 pm
congressman jim jordan questions the director about the fbi's alleged investigation into the irs. let's watch. >> how many agents investigators have you assigned to the case? >> may be able to do that. have to get back to you. >> can you tell me who the lead investigator in. >> off the top of my head, no. >> the most important issue in front of the couldnntry, and yo don't know who is leading the case? >> no, i don't. >> you don't know who the lead of the case? >> no. >> have you met with any of the victims, any of the tea party folks? >> i don't know what the stat of the interviews. you are asking details of the investigation. >> that is not a detail about the investigation that took place prior to the investigation started. >> may i please finish? >> i'm asking basic questions about the investigation, like who is heading it up, and you can't tell me that. you had a month to investigate. this is the biggest story in the country, and you can't even tell
6:02 pm
me who the lead investigator is? >> with answers like that, it doesn't appear we will get to the bottom of the irs scandal any time soon. director mueller asked to comment on the bureau's ongoing investigation into the benghazi terror attack. here is trey gabby. >> the closer you get to a crime scene, the better able to investigate it and process it, right? >> absolutely. >> and the bureau did not get to the crime scene in benghazi how long? >> two weeks. >> why did the bureau not get to the crime scene in benghazi two weeks? >> a number of factors, the first one relates to the state of security in benghazi. no security. >> if benghazi was not safe enough for the premiere law enforcement agency in the world to go, how is it safe enough for us to send diplomats? >> another question that is not in my -- >> wow. unfortunately there, were a lot of unanswered questions on capitol hill today, that includes whether or not the
6:03 pm
obama administration is violating your constitutional rights by spying on your phone records. now, this afternoon, kentucky senator rand paul held a press conference to call on all americans to join a class action lawsuit against your government. take a look. >> my suspicion is every cell phone in america is having their data tracked, so i think everybody in america, anyone in america who owns a cell phone should, if they want to protect their privacy, become a party to these lawsuits. >> tonight, the white house says it has evidence that syrian president assad's regime has used chemical weapons against h i it's own people. tonight, unclear what the administration plans to do or how quickly they plan to do it. so with this announcement by the white house, you think maybe possibly it was politically timed? joining me with reaction to today's hearing is former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. how are you? >> good, sean.
6:04 pm
how are you? >> the headlines are out today, you asked to provide military support to syrian rebels, aren't these the same rebels that pledge royalty to al qaeda? >> exactly. i mean, al masra, the major group, has specifically pledged aleenlance to al qaeda. he could have maybe handled this effectively a year, year and a half ago if he wasn't leading from behind. this is a situation while obama is fiddling, syria is burning for the last 2 1/2, 2 years. so there is a vacuum left. it has been filled by the al qaeda affiliate in that part of the world. so now if you arm them, they have -- their leader has announced, their next target after syria is the united states of america. >> wow. >> so we'll be putting arm and training into a group -- of course we should overthrow assaad. we have to be careful we don't
6:05 pm
create a bigger enemy of the united states. >> look, i'm sympathetic. between 80,000 to 100,000 people die. >> i was in favor of doing this a year and a half ago, sean. it seemed we had a chance -- the rebel groups were more legitimate rebel groups. groups reacting to the oppression and corruption of the assad regime. a good chance of reforming them. i don't know where the notion of leading from behind came from. leading from behind is called following. here is what i want to know. is it possible what the president is proposing here, is to arm al qaeda to defeat assad. possible we would do something that stupid? >> i can't believe we would do that. i think part of the hesitation for the last six months has been they are aware of this problem in the obama administration. i don't know that they would admit they created this problem. i believe they did.
6:06 pm
i think they are aware of the problem. they are dealing in check mate. i don't know what they are going to do. a no-fly zone, maybe they can do that. to give arms, unless we were careful and knew to whom we were giving it. the quality of intelligence, never the very best. he has himself in a real pickle this is what happened when you leave a vacuum and you have an america that doesn't want to be aggressive and act. somebody else fills the vacuum. in this case, al masra and russia. russia moved in and became an iran. russia sees a vacuum and there supporting assad. on the other side. al qaeda supporting the rebels, we have nobody there that has anything but the worst intentions toward the united states of america. >> you hear what bill clinton said today? he said in a speech. i think he didn't know that it was being taped. that obama risks looking like a
6:07 pm
total fool and a wuss. >> that was bill clinton? >> i haven't even said it that strongly. the president understand what happened. that by failing to act a year ago, a year and a half ago, obama created this situation it is true, he doesn't have a good answer right now. but what is also true, he put himself and our country in that position. and for that, he and hillary clinton should be held to account. >> it sounds to me like tossing mu bara mubarak all over. and the muslim brotherhood all over again. >> the answers to benghazi. what was your action? >> she's terribly disengaged. i was third ranking official in
6:08 pm
the justice department during the reagan administration for very serious and very sensitive investigations. if you asked me who the lead investigator was, well, i had met with that guy probably about 20 times, so it would have been right on the tip of my tongue. i don't get it. the irs scandal going on. outrageous violation of people's rights. the fbi director has to be on top of that. the fbi director has to know that's going on. you've got benghazi. i don't understand how they didn't get in there two weeks. i never heard of law enforcement officials, not going to a crime scene, because it's too dangerous. that's what law enforcement officials do. >> did you hear that question, though. >> i was the mayor of new york, if my police commissioner called up and said, hey, mayor, there has been a crime, we can't get in for two weeks. >> too dangerous. >> i can't tell you what i would have said. >> i don't think i would want to be on the receiving end of that call. how about at that point, if it is too dangerous, we bring in
6:09 pm
special forces and have them protect the fbi agents go in with, you know, 550 s.e.a.l.s ad protect the fbi agents. if you don't get to the crime scene for two weeks, you can kiss that crime good-bye. i don't know, maybe they want to do. >> one common denominator is the lies. benghazi lies, attorney general lying as it relates to james rosen, clapper admitting that he lied, basically i was as untruthful as i could be. does that not come back to bite them? if i lied under oath, why do i think i would be in trouble? >> it indicates that they are just telling one story after another. vow to continue to lie. first we practice to deceive, it goes on and on and on and on. and the reality is, here is where it really hurts america. beyond the political issue. we have this big nsa situation.
6:10 pm
where telephone records were seized. other records seized. that may very well be a legitimate effort that is keeping us safe. the reason for all of this distrust is because the president has built mistrust by the way these situations were handled. for now, you go to the american people, and you say the president needs this discretion to trust him. but people say, wait a section, irs, benghazi, rosen, ap, we're going to trust him? and you have this man snowden, who is there, top security clearance, three months on the job, high school dropout, how many other -- how many other snowdens are there? the sensitive records, how well protected are they? how well protected is your privacy or mine with these sensitive records if people like snowden can go on a little machine and get them? >> it's frightening. >> it is frightening.
6:11 pm
i see nsa a situation where the administration was probably acting good faith to protect our society. i don't see the irs that way, benghazi, snowden -- rather rosen, or the ap. but the incompetence of it hurts just as much. >> i agree. and also against the actual letter of the law, the patriot act. and what the fisa courts were designed. jim sensenbrenner wrote the bill. overreaching. >> i think that may be true, but i don't know. here is what i'm sure of. it's being handled in the most amateur ish way if a person like snowden can get access to it. >> mr. mayor, good to see it. busy night tonight. on "hannity," the famous person who snubbed president obama what he joins us live. but, first, startling new analysis, attorneys donated more to obama that romney. the ratio, 20-1.

6:14 pm
6:16 pm
and. hello. welcome back no "hannity." startening new information. a pepperdine university associate law professor looked which political candidates these lawyers donated to. the professor explained that lawyers are relevant because they are the ones taking the lead in writing regulations, litigating cases and making delicate legal judgment calls in borderline cases. down right disturbing. of the irs lawyers who make contributions in the 2012 election, 95% contributed to obama rather than romney. the ratio of obama contributors to romney contributors was not 4-1 as previously reported. but more like 20-1.
6:17 pm
the ratio of funds to obama was more lopsided with about 32 times as much money going on obama as to romney from irs lawyers. it's proof that the actions that this agency was taking were politically motivated. it destroyed the narrative that two rogue employees in cincinnati were responsible and how could anyone say this scandal has been "solved." i don't get it. joining me, billy cunningham and tara is back with us. billy, what do these numbers tell you? >> it tells me the collection agency for the welfare state is the irs. they had their marching orders, knew what they were doing, targeted vis to suppress the votes. 201 2012 scared the heck of tara and the other democrats. we have to go after the at the
6:18 pm
party. they had to suppress the vote. because they were doing that, they accused republicans for suppressing the black vote. they suppressed the tea party vote to get obama elected. they scared the hell out of democrats, regulated the tea party, obama gets elected. >> tara, more liberal, right? believe in freedom of association? >> i do. >> freedom of the spreeof speec? >> i do. i think there are limitations of all of those. >> what do you think about targeting conservatives the way they did? >> i criticized the irs when they targeted naacp, gay groups, women groups. now they are targeting the tea party. >> there was a little bit of scant letter sent out. now 1,000 tea party groups being
6:19 pm
targeted. 1,000. and according to drudge report today, the risen s has hundreds of credit cards, hundreds of agents not paying their own taxes. the irs is the collection agency for the welfare state, they target republicans, they target the tea party. and you know it, sean knows it, i know it. the investigation is over. >> he recanted that statement. >> of course he did. it was a stupid comment. >> here is the thick, irs made a mistake. they committed wrongdoing. we know that. we need to get to the bottom of who is responsible. you are trying to link this directly to the obama administration. i hate to rain on your obama bashing parade going on right now. >> telling the truth. >> telling the truth? >> barack no house obama. >> darryl issa, the chair of the committee, has refused to release the full transcript that said the white house had zero to
6:20 pm
do with those decisions. why won't he release -- wait, wait. why won't he release? >> what percentage of irs employees voted for obama? >> you want to know why? >> he was going to give them 15,000 more agents under obama care to go after agents. >> they spoke how much he helped terrible government was. why would anyone who works in government would vote for someone who says they are terrible. that doesn't make sense. >> he wanted to get more efficient. >> do you think government is efficient? >> i think government -- i think government is not as efficient as certain other institutions. that's a nice acronym. >> it's true. >> fat, flabby, and flatulent. you believe in government. >> i believe government plays an important role in our society and does government make mistakes?
6:21 pm
of course. wall street brought down the entire financial sector. no problem with that. >> let me ask a legal question. let me ask a legal question. when they went after james rosen, going after freedom of the press and they go after the tea party, going after freedom of speech and association, we also have a legal search and seizure. the fourth amendment. do you not worry about the attitude of -- of behavior that is unconstitutional? >> what i worry about is the fact that i would rather spend more time how we can -- we can make sure those things don't happen again. rather than trying to link it to president obama to bring him down for politically motivated reasons. >> the conservatives using it, trying to pin everything and conflate things. >> freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, the constitution, and unlawful search and seizure. those are real serious constitutional violations we're witnessing. your thoughts?
6:22 pm
>> my thoughts, whenever we have any kin of infrack, the goal should be how we avoid that infraction in the future, not to lev rablg it for some politically motivated witch hunt. >> barack milhous right now obama is an innocent bistand ys. he reads about benghazi, about james rosen, about the irs, about $50 million in parties, $3,500 a night. fancy hotels in loma linea. reads about things, playing golf. shows up at 9:00, 10:00 in the morning. >> oh, please. you are proving my point. my point, you want to spend this time -- >> telling the truth. >> no. how to bash the president. >> the truth sounds like a bash. >> this isn't how you solve real issues. this is about -- >> this is about insulting the president rather than debating real issues. >> tara, this is happening under this president's watch.
6:23 pm
he said very little. what would you like to hear from him? >> i don't think he said very little. he got rid of, asked for the resignation of the head of the irs, a republican, by the way. and the women who admitted to targeting tea party groups is also a republican. he immediately asked for his resignation, and he resigned from the irs. so what i would -- >> can you explain why this is happening? >> i think that's what all the myriad investigations are about. getting to the bottom of it. >> coming up next on "hannity," our media bias segment. media bash. and who is that man or woman that snubbed president obama's invitation to come to the white house? that person live later in the program, plus time to vote on video of the day. option number two, a motorcyclist caught offguard when mother nature decides to step in. lucky to be alive. if you want to see the rest of

6:28 pm
welcome back to "hannity." time for media mash. a weekly roundup if how the media puts the liberal spin on the news. we have brother brent bozel, how are you? >> brother hannity, how are you? >> a window of hope. the media recognized a scandal, but slowly but surely they took their foot off the gas, we have the week roundup of all of this, they fount better stories by the way. hillary got a new twitter account. michelle obama going after the
6:29 pm
heckler. week one, 52 stories, 44, then 7 and all the way down to 1 story. they have answers, figure it out. we know the truth about all of these things, it's been resolved? >> i've been asked countless time, sean. talked about it on this show. the media are finally serious about obama, and my answer was no. they will be serious, a lover's spat for a couple of weeks and then it will go away. look, first two weeks of the scandal, 96 stories, then last week 32 stories and this week? 1 story. look, it's over. cns news broke the story that 1,000 irs agent has been abusing their credit cards, that's the inspector general's report. instead of taxpayers screwing the government, the government is crscrewing the taxpayer. is that a story? no. we broke a story and you covered it, that the irs was investing
6:30 pm
in spying equipment. putting spying equipment in ashtrays, spying equipment in cameras, spying equipment in plants, this is something that east germany did. not a story. >> all right. we've got a lot of evidence tonight that nbc is officially an extension of the obama press offense, and back to two themes. one, if you are against obama, it's racism, and the war on women, both instances involve a guy that has a thrill up his leg when he sees the president, chris matthews. racism charge first. >> never been a money grubber, never done anything wrong in his life, family picture perfect. the way he's raiseded those daughters, everything queen as a whistle, yet they refer to him as evil. i have to believe it's ethnic with these people. >> the irs is being used in exactly the same way they tried to use the president's birth
6:31 pm
certificate, despite the complete lack of evidence to the target of the tea party groups, republicans use it as their latest weapon in the war against the black man in the white house. >> beam me up. your answer, your response? >> you know, you ask yourself do they believe this? and the answer is no. they simply can't believe what they are saying. if they don't believe what they are saying, what are they doing? willfully lying and this moron, bashir to make that accusation, is preposterous. i won't dignify that with a comment. take away the statement he made about obama's little girls and everything else the statement is a falsehood. to say he's not done anything wrong, he lied to the american people about benghazi. is stoning cocaine a problem?
6:32 pm
apparently not. >> let's go to matthew -- >> i was going to say this is an administration completely wrapped in scandals. for him to say there is nothing wrong is dishonest. >> let's go to matthew saying because of the sequester, women are going to die this week. listen. >> we put a spotlight on the people, and the organizations taking a brunt of this arbitrary across-the-board spending cuts called sequester, still going on, by the way, and the most vulnerable taking the hardest hit. who do you have to talk to? anybody that have been able to find -- we used to call in wrestling, pressure points? i imagined these things. i didn't wrestle. you look for a way to pin the person. look, some women are going to die this week, because these shelters are closing their doors to them. >> my question. a, did obama propose the sequester? and, b, will we spend more money
6:33 pm
this year than last? >>es. yes and yes. and two more. the republicans tried to reallocate those cuts, obama would not like it, and finally, you know how much money we're talking about? $20 million. the u.s. government spends that in three minutes. are you going to tell me they can't find three minutes for this program. the obama administration not allowing it. george shar lis, write a check, you will never miss it. >> thank you for being with us. up next, a new report says lawmakers may quit to avoid the crippling impact of obama care. the president's former economic adviser will try and defend his old boss, later, invited to the white house and said thanks, but no thanks. the famous person who snubbed the commander in chief. don't forget, logon to special companion site. we always want to hear from you. what do you think of our show?

welcome back to "hannity." president obama's signature d s domestic achievement is causing dozens of aides and lawmakers to consider fleeing washington. they are worried that premiums will disappear in 2016, causing benefits to skyrocket. the ohio department of insurance is now predicting that premiums will rise in 2014, by a whopping 88%. that puts the arrive cost of insurance premiums at $420 in the buckeye state. why is this important to you?
6:39 pm
number one, the president of the united states said time and time again, your health care costs would not go up under his new law. the president, did he mislead you, the american people? number two, we need the best in washington. if obama care is discouraging young professionals from wanting to be lawmakers, will america have the lawmakers they deserve? and if lawmakers are concerned about obama care, you think that's a sign you should be concerned too, especially over rising costs. the former economic adviser, here to defend his former boss. austan goolsbee, thank you. >> was number two the argument that sean hannity just in, we cannot cut the benefits or pay for federal workers that we want to, attract the best people we can to work in the government? i'm totally confused, what just
6:40 pm
happened there. >> play a game with me. are you ready to play? >> i will play, but i want to play that number two again. i cannot get over what just happened. >> how much did obama tell the country that obama care would cost. do you remember? >> i remember him saying it would slow the rate of health care sost costs and it has. >> $900 billion, do you remember that? >> i remember him saying it would not add to the deficit. >> okay. what is the latest congressional budget office estimate for the cost of obama care? >> well, i know that it is estimated for the deficit is a negative number, shrinks the deficit. >> $2.8 trillion. three times what he said. did the president say that the average family would save $2,500 on average, a family of four? >> compared to what would happen if they didn't pass it, yes. >> okay. the president we now -- 88%
6:41 pm
increase in ohio. >> no, no. sean -- >> right here. right here. >> you picked only one. only the biggest one. >> pick another one. >> i'll pick a bigger one, california. >> take california. >> 164% increase. >> no. you keep picking the same group. if you are rich, young and have never been sick, the people who pay the least now, in other words, those people's premiums are going to go up by 88% or 100% or whatever you said. but if you are anyone who has, for example, been sick before, or as a family of four, makes less than $96,000 or one of another large categories of
6:42 pm
people, your premiums go down. you get a tax credit to help pay for it, and the california experience, rates came in lower -- >> 164% and a $2,000 deductible? why didn't the president tell us about that little itsy-bitsy detail? >> well, they did. >> they did? >> if you get the lowest brow plan. >> this is a solo plan. >> republicans have been arguing for that, sean. >> no! >> the republicans arguing for large deductible plans so people have to pay with their own money and they argue that will keep cost inflation down. you can't turn around and say why is there a big deductible. >> did the president -- wasn't the implication that we would have no more uninsured -- people wouldn't be racing to the emergency rooms if they stubbed their toe or get sick, because
6:43 pm
they would all have insurance. the cdc says we'll never fall below this number of insured under obama care. do you know the number? >> no, i don't. >> 30 million. always a minimum of 30 million uninsured. wasn't obama care supposed to fix that? >> yes. i would like to know where the number comes from. >> cbo. >> 50 million uninsured right now. so if we can get to 30 million in the first year that seems like a big accomplishment. >> last question. this girl, sarah murngahan, 10-year-old girl on a pediatric transplant list for eight months -- i'm sorry. 18 months. finally got a lung transplant. kathleen sebelius, head of health and human services would not sign a waiver. it took a judge to save this girl's life last night.
6:44 pm
she wouldn't sign the waiver, nurse ratchet sebelius or death panel sebelius, as i call her, don't you think that's cold? that when her doctor said the adult lungs would work, she should have signed that waiver? >> i'm not a medical expert. if i was the parent of that kid, i would be pretty stressed out about that. >> so you agree she was nurse ratchet. >> i never said anything of the sort. you're getting me in trouble, sean. >> do you agree, that was a death panel for that little girl? >> as i said, i think anybody who has ever had a kid with a grave illness has got to know that is the most stressful situation. >> kathleen sebelius gave her a death sentence. thank god for the judge. do you agree with me? >> look, the thing is the list of transplants, we have a tragic situation in a country that
6:45 pm
there are far more people that need transplants than people who are organ donors. >> she would have died, but for that judge. isn't that wrong? >> well, i don't know. did someone else die because of the judge. i don't know the details. oops. >> bye-bye. thank you austan goolsbee. coming up. we'll reveal who the famous person is that snubbed president obama's invitation to the white house and pick the individuvide day. look what mommy is having.

6:50 pm
were given an opportunity to visit the white house and meet president obama. when the team casually hung out, my next guest, ravens center, matt burke declined his once in a lifetime invitation for remarks that obama made in support of planned parenthood. >> planned parenthood is not going anywhere, not today, not tomorrow, as long as we fight to make sure that women have access to quality affordable health care and the fight to protect a woman's right to make her own choices about her own health. you also have a president who is going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way. thank you, planned parenthood. god bless you. >> joining me to explain is matt burke. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> a once in a lifetime opportunity.
6:51 pm
you got a lot of press. tell us the details. >> i'm pro life, obviously and everyone has to make their own decisions. president obama is obviously pro choice. but think when you invoke the name of god when you are the president and t first president to address planned parenthood, you can't acknowledge god and say god bless planned parenthood. it's a contradiction. 330,000 lives ended last year at planned parenthood. and i just -- being pro choice is one thing, but bringing god into it, that's just -- that's just too much for me to handle. and and i just see much upside in going. >> when he said god bless planned parenthood, that is the remark that got to you. how did your teammates react to all of this? what did they say to you? >> everybody is great with it. we actually had the -- the ravens team is a spiritually

have had an abortion. >> the sea turtle thing, i'm laughing, only because a friend of mine is a builder in florida. and if a sea turtle lays eggs, all building stops. i want to ask you about tebow. >> i think that, you know, the media has -- the media loves this story and the sports media they love to wear it out and i think that, you know, every player comes with some kin of baggage, especially the superstars and if you are really, really good, teams will put up with it. you know, but in his case, it's -- for some reason, having a hard time landing, but i wouldn't bet against him and with bill belichick, who knows? >> matt, congratulations, appreciate your stand, thank you for being with us tonight. >> my pleasure, thank you.
